Dear Father,
It has been such a long time since I last wrote, and for that I apologise. I haven't had a moment to even regain my senses since we arrived at the Dreadwood. Everywhere we turn there are monsters, towns under attack, emotional party members… I write to you from Silglen, where we arrived after being in Valadis, where we fought off some yuan-ti. Just, casually, completely unexpected. We were heading to Valadis after Lysander received a message from another druid. I mean, it was a message of berries and sticks, but apparently it read, "Lysander, help, snakes are killing everyone," or something of that nature. Hahaha, nature, get it? No, it really wasn't funny at all. We got to Valadis and had to fight off an army of yuan-ti. But Lysander's druid friend was okay, and when we left the town he joined us along the journey.
We rested along the way in a clearing in the forest. Nothing of note happened, but we're getting the hang of doing watches throughout the evening. I have a feeling Baldrin and his lady friend haven't been focussing too much on the watches, but nothing really happened. Although, we did find Lysander's doggy! He somehow found us, probably odd druid magic again. I tried to give him a little cuddle but no, growwwwwlllliinnng. He doesn't like me very much.
When we came up the path to Silglen the next day we saw fires in the distance. Fires everywhere. I personally had no idea what it was, so… We sent Thamior and Lysander up to have a look at what was going on before we ventured any further. They came back and informed us that there a yuan-ti camp all around the town. I took initiative and decided to fly over to give an idea of what was happening and where we could enter the town. I turned myself (and Fae) invisible and flew over. This always seems to bemuse my party members so much. They'll never fully understand my spells. They seem to think it's some kind of cool trick. I didn't estimate however just how long it would take me to get over and back, because by the time I got there I realised I wouldn't have been able to fly back to the group unless I landed on a yuan-ti spear.
I landed not so gracefully in the middle of a pig farm and scared off some little boy, who brought his mother back, wielding a rolling pin. Some guards came over and they seemed to automatically assume I was the enemy in disguise. They brought me to their leader, who I assume was the mayor of the town. She had a chat with me and she knew who Lysander was and after "verifying" my identity as one of the good guys, she gave me a bed to sleep in. I awoke to find out that the others had safely gotten into the town through a secret entrance, and Baldrin had apparently tried to get back out again… I sighed. Seriously, who walks out into a camp of yuan-ti? It's like, suicidal. But, he was okay. Everyone was okay. And apparently now we're heading to the Heart of the Forest. I can't wait… Hmmm…
I have a feeling there be a few more snakes around, more weird druid magic, which is fading though, because of the yuan-ti attacks. Everyone is worried that Lysander will lose some of his powers as well. But if everything works out we could potentially save everyone in the forest, all of the towns! Which would be something truly wonderful.
I'll write again soon Daddy, I promise.
Love always,


text: A big problem for outdoor workers is over exposure to the sun which can lead to skin cancer. The main way to prevent this is to apply sun cream but it is easily forgotten, especially when it is not warm, as is often the case in scotland. We came up with a watch that is inbuilt with solar panels which detects when the worker has been overexposed to the sun and flashes red and vibrates to tell the worker to apply suncream.

This section is used to sweep up all of those miscellaneous ramblings of a man whose memory today often fades faster than it takes to say, ' I forgot what I was about to say.' I refer to those random thoughts that occasionally come to mind whenever the body is engaged in some trivial matter; thoughts of no earth-shattering measure, yet significant enough in their own way to have helped shape a more moving moment of spiritual reflection upon things past, things that could have been but never were, and things yet to come! I refer to those thoughts, words, emotions and experiences that time has covered with its cobwebs of confusion and obscurity; those feelings that become a clearer to see the closer we come to them once more.

Here, if you're going to be mentally ill, you'd better pray that you're the 'right' type of mentally ill.
Inside one young woman's motivation to help the deeply religious overcome their eating disorders.
Throughout college, I struggled with an eating disorder. In many ways, it first manifested itself during Yom Kippur freshman year.
Once again, a mass shooting tragedy has captured the nation's attention. Once again, the question everyone wants answered is: Why? What drove Aaron Alexis to do something so awful, so incomprehensible, and seemingly so senseless? We all want to know why he did it because we want to know if there's something we could have done to see it coming — something we can do to prevent it from happening again.
Eight days without leavened bread is no easy task for any Jew. No whole-wheat bagels with scallion cream cheese! No chewy chocolate chip cookies! No soy sauced-drenched rice! But it is especially trying for me; I am 29 years old and eight years recovered from a decade-long eating disorder. Each year, Passover's food restrictions — a triggering behavior for any recovered bulimic or anorexic — challenges my footing.
An inquest concluded that Grammy Award-winning Jewish soul singer Amy Winehouse died of consuming too much alcohol.
Most Sundays I do laundry, or have brunch, or see a movie. But I spent this past Sunday immersed in various forms of female teenage angst, and what I came away with was that more boys and men should have been there with me.

Thank you for stopping by my website! I certainly hope you find some value as you poke around.
I wanted to share a little more about me that is a little…well, less official than my About Me page to give you a better idea of who I really am.
You might not know it to look at me, but I'm a farm kid. I was raised on our family farm outside of Wapakoneta near a tiny place that doesn't even appear on most state maps, called Fryburg.
My dad is a carpenter and a farmer and my mother is a registered nurse and from both of them, I was given a work ethic and sense of discipline that I'm proud of.
The turning point in my life happened, however, when I reached High School and joined FFA. There, all of my passions for agriculture were mixed with lessons in communication and leadership and in my junior year, I was elected to serve the 22,000 FFA members in the State of Ohio as a State FFA Officer. This election accelerated my growth and development and forced me to become a much better speaker and leader.
With the solid foundation given to me by parents, tempered through FFA and polished as a State Officer, I have spent a great deal of time studying and observing the habits of successful communicators and leaders.
There was some debate when I was writing my official About Me page about using the word obsessed about developing the skills of communication, but I decided to use it because, for most of my life, I've been obsessed with the little things that charismatic people do that separate them from the rest of us.
My obsession fuels a passion that I'm eager to share.
A few more random facts to share:
As you could see from my picture, I have a great family. We spend the majority of our time together working on our family's show steer hobby for our county fair.
I love movies and have a strange ability to recall quotes from about every movie I've ever seen on demand. I'm sure you want answers, you want the truth, but you can't handle the truth!
I have a reputation as the guy in the suit because I wear one virtually every day. I've always lived by the motto that you don't dress for the job you have, but you dress for the job you want, and I've always wanted to be Governor.
I read obsessively. Anything from books to blogs to articles, I'm always reading and I love to share interesting things, so follow me on twitter.
If you need to talk to me, please don't call me during an Ohio State Football game. Watching my beloved Buckeyes dominate the B1G is the only television that I actually watch live.
It's my sincere hope that this post was helpful for you to get to know me. I'd love for you to drop me a line in the comments so that I can get an opportunity to know you as well.
Talk Soon,

Modern Single Fin
I finally finished the modernization remake of the old Lightning Bolt board. The rails are substantially more honed. The bottom has a light single to double concave. I did not change the rocker much, very mild. The board is glassed with super sap and clear formula bio resin. It came out pretty light. I should weigh it. With these changes, the board will be quite responsive and fast, which will add to the smooth, full turning a single fin does.

Some great fun yet dangerous VTPR flying in classic Menez-Hom flying site fashion. Some of the composite planes flying here are the Sonic, Excalibur, Limande, Twister and more. All 2.5 meter size. Take special note how all the pilots line up and take turns doing their thing trying to match or out do their mates. More importantly there are no foam planes present. A sign of true and ultimate no holds barred VTPR! You get a real sense of friendship and a challenging experience versus just flying back and forth or alone in the sky speeding around aimlessly. VTPR truly is thee most comprehensive and fun flying style on the slope.

WASHINGTON — Florida officials hope to win the support of U.S. Rep. Charles Bennett today for a plan that would turn part of the unfinished Cross-Florida Barge Canal area into a state park.
Bennett's endorsement could signal the end of a long struggle to remove the canal from the list of federal public works projects. But the Jacksonville Democrat remained skeptical Tuesday of Florida's promise to turn the land into a park.

The Erasmus + Project of the secondary school Faustí Barberà of Alaquàs comes to an end with a flamenco dance show on gender equality
The Erasmus + KA1 project "Gènere i Igualtat: una mirada europea" (Gender and equality: a European look) has come to an end by staging a flamenco show about women's equality. The performance took place on 23 of March at the Auditori Nou and served to close this project selected by the European Union last year 2016 to work gender equality in the classroom.
The show "Ball flamenc" was carried out by the students of the institute and also collaborated the students of the sports area of the Universitat de València. The choreography and direction was in charge of Lucila Duarte and the texts are by Mariví Martín Hernández and Lucila Duarte. It was organized by the music department of the educational center formed by professors Pepa Cervera, Julio Roig and Pau Asins. The Equality Unit of the Universitat de València has collaborated in it.

I'd like to offer a big thank you to Michele Fabio and Sara Rosso for orchestrating the enormous extravaganza called World Nutella Day. You ladies did a fabulous job. And because of you, the world is most definately a sweeter place. You've made it so easy for all of us Nutella fans to get our hands on some of the most creative, tasty recipes using our favorite chocolate hazelnut spread. And I know it wasn't easy. For those who didn't participate or are looking to get in on the fun, Sara and Michele have compiled oodles of Nutella recipes submitted by bloggers, writers and fans. Here are the roundup web sites:
I guarantee you'll find something that tickles your fancy. And by the way, these ladies write a whole lot more than Nutella recipes. Check them out and maybe learn a little Italian on the way. Thanks again ladies- it was fun to participate.
