 		updated letters on Camp Francis for VENT puzzle
(Also jumping in here from the facebook group and new to unfiction community - hi all!)

I just noticed an update to the letters page on Camp Francis which fixed the problematic line breaks from yesterday.

Its now a jpg of a letter, and each of the seventeen lines has a vent word in it. (which helps since we were questioning if it was by sentence yesterday). I've tried indexing by word and by syllable by line (into letters or first letters of words, ...) and still gotten nowhere, but I'll keep at it. At least with properly formatted data, we may be able to get a bit farther with this lead. It also looks like some of the typos (thehorses without a space, some punctuation) are a bit different but I doubt this changes what is meant to be done.

 		Also noticed the same poorly sized image on fruitofthegarden of Lila's garden. No one commented on the specific numbers, but its dimensions are a bit suspicious. While all others are 500x375, that image is 225 x 169 (or 15^2 x 13^2). Those numbers certainly don't seem to have been chosen randomly, but I'm not sure what to do with them.

 		I don't have time tonight, but I got to thinking that maybe now the the letters are jpgs that maybe they might have something hidden in the pic itself...

 		I'm still trying to work through the daily inspiration. But a couple of things are standing out to me. there seems to be a tie to the letters beyond the gate. The word "foreign" shows up in the inspiration, as well as the first letter. I keep thinking the "second to none" is something. In the first line it says "I have been one...." The end of "been" attached with "one" makes "none". But what would be second to it?

Any thoughts?

 		Trivia- Virtuous Song lyric links
Yesterday, looking at the song lyrics, I noticed that the title links to the original lyrics all linked to different off-site hosts.

But that part of the website no longer appears- just a big white box.

The site has been changing, updating some html that wasn't working right. I noticed that in my Firefox (version 2.0) the song lyrics all showed up on a single page, but today I can click on a song title and get just that song's lyric. You might try another browser, or do a hard refresh to resynch your cache. It might also be a style sheet issue.

 		hm? not sure on either of those updates...

the text entry box is still flash, and still does what it's always done, at least in my browser...

the song lyric titles still show and still link to off-site lyric pages...

what was changed? :S
perhaps it's IE - I'm no seeing anything different in IE7, so maybe it's browser compatibility fixes.


Also, updated VENT letter with the correct line breaks (and the word position that VENT appears in each line)

Code:
........................................................................................................................
   Hi Mom!
6  I'm writing you from the CoVENTry Hall in Camp Francis, and everyone's asleep. It was a gorgeous day out,
7  and we went on a real–life adVENTure today! We rode our horses—did I tell you that we learned to ride?—until
2  we eVENTually reached the widest point of the river. We hitched up the horses on a old ferry to the Ste. Jeanne
1  ConVENT which is an old Catholic church building that's been converted to a visitor center. But they say that it's
9  haunted. Yes, I know ghost stories are the inVENTion of the Devil, and you taught me and Becca better than that.
7  (Tell her I said hey!) I'm VENTuring that it's just kids trying to scare folks. One of the other girls pretended she
3  was a VENTriloquist and made ghost sounds, which got Counselor Matt riled up. He corrected her, and made us
4  all swear to preVENT that kind of behavior for the rest of the trip. It was hot, so Matt unpacked our treat—some
1  VENTi-sized chocolate milks. (I wish we had a Starbucks out here! Oh well, you can't have everything.) After
5  lunch we started our adVENTure again, taking the long road out past the monastery. By noon, we were a little
4  more than a seVENTh of a mile from the trailhead, when a few of the horses wouldn't go any more. So Counselor
14 Rick stayed behind with the horses and we headed out. The leaders from CoVENTry led us up a really high hill,
4  So I nearly hyperVENTilated! We came down the trail and could almost see Liberty Lake, but the bridge was out,
5  so we had to circumVENT the river from the other side! There were trees down in our path, and we couldn't get
5  through the obstruction by conVENTional means, so we had to backtrack even more. Mom, it certainly wasn't an
1  uneVENTful trip! We got home too late for dinner, but Dierdre made us all PB&Js before lights–out. And I learned
12 that I could apply to be a counselor after I turn seVENTeen! That'd be sweet! Hug Becca for me!

Hi. I'm looking for a job working at a camp where I can really make a positive impact in today's youth. I think that Camp Francis would be the perfect place! Are there any job or volunteer openings there? Thanks!

 		New Daily Inspiration is up, and they don't even claim it to be a Biblical quote: "The word that you too desire will be invoked at least tenfold."

It's a fairly straightforward reference: in the U2 song "Desire", the word "money" is chanted eleven times in a row. So... that's something, I suppose.

 		Hi!
Hello and chalice
Hi all! I hope I can contribute something original. (Or at least keep up!)

The chalice that Grace has in the video stands out to me. I noticed on wikipedia that the Tarot card for Temperance depicts someone pouring liquid from one chalice to another. The contemporary number for Temperance is 14.

Tenuous, but who knows. The video also contains an odd pan to a clock showing 1:30. Grace exchanges the chalice for some kind of bowl, but both of which are too fuzzy for details, such as some sort of design.
