Basically upside down Sea Stars, Feather Stars, also known as Crinoids, are a very interesting class with approximately 625 species known. Generally stationary during the day, they tend to come out at night or extend their arms in order to trap food. Like other Echinoderms, Feather Stars have tube feet, however their tube feet lack the suction cups that are present in Sea Stars, Sea Urchins, etc. They instead secrete mucus that traps food particles and directs it into grooves where cilia move the particles to the mouth.

Puzzlewood is an ancient woodland site, near Coleford in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England. The site, covering 14 acres, shows evidence of open cast iron ore mining dating from the Roman period, and possibly earlier.
In 1848 some workmen, after moving a block of stone in the woods, found a small cavity in the rocks. In this cavity, hidden away, were three earthenware jars containing over 3,000 Roman coins. No-one knows why the coins were hidden away in the cliff face nor by whom.
J. R. R. Tolkien, a frequent visitor to the Forest of Dean, may have visited Puzzlewood, and many believe Puzzlewood was the inspiration for the fabled forests of Middle-earth, such as the Old Forest, Mirkwood, Fangorn or Lothlórien contained within The Lord of the Rings. J.K Rowling is also said to have visited Puzzlewood, and it may have been this that influenced her idea of The Forbidden Forest in the Harry Potter books.

I spend so much time away from tumblr
Why must I do this to myself?
I’m pretty tired of shit getting sprung on me
Cancelling a lunch date for today. I’m pretty frustrated at this point because I have been trying to enjoy my days off yet I cant without something getting sprung on me out of the blue. Fuck that noise.
Ran a 5 miler in 45:47 yesterday
Felt damn good. Plenty of room for improvement, but considering its the longest I’ve run in who knows how long, I’ll take it.
Biked around 12-13 today, ended up taking a detour that met me with some stinging nettle and brought me a few miles off course but it was worth it. Very productive last two days have earned me a super unproductive tomorrow :).
My bike ships out tomorrow, so I wont have another ride until I’m in South Carolina.
Dear Tumblr
I miss you. Been busy with the move and working 2x normal lately. Also Diablo 3 owns me now. I’ll likely spend more time on this when I’m stateside but I am liking the outside world so then again maybe not.
