DO NOT send checks to her as she has sold the house last month and the new owners as of right now are not going to let anyone park there. So if you know anyone who parks in her yard tell them that there will be no parking. Paul didnt want people to get there expecting to park in the yard and not be able to.

There's been reserved parking over by the B-blocks for several years now. You can usually buy a pass at the Cooper's war room (over by E-03) during the first week of war. -Anna From dcourtinewhite at stny.rr.com Thu May 1 21:33:40 2008 From: dcourtinewhite at stny.rr.com (Dorinda Courtine-White) Date: Thu, 1 May 2008 21:33:40 -0400 Subject: [SCA-AE] Crown Tourney list field Message-ID: <001601c8abf4$8d77fcc0$6401a8c0@hppav> Gentlemen and Ladies, I just came back from the Crown Tourney site, and we got most of the list field set up done. It is important to note that the field is very small - and surrounded by woods. Although the actual lists are of what I hope is a reasonable size (25'x25'), there is not much perimeter. I have put up stakes to show where shade space has been reserved, and it leaves very little, if any extra space. I would beg of you to set up tents as tightly as possible. Please do not worry much about people needing to "get through" because there is only woods behind three sides of the field. There is also little space to drive in the area so we will need people to drive up, unload quickly, and remove their vehicles promptly. I will be there in the early evening Friday for those setting up, but I do need to leave site for an important little league game. I will be back early Saturday. There are tags on the field showing where everyone should go, and the rest of the event staff will be there to help. This will be a cozy tournament - thank you for your help in making the most of the space we have.

After a consultation with the autocrats and a review of the field and the weather, we made the decision to move the list field from the Jamboree field in the middle of the camp to the parade field in front of the dining hall. The "good" about all this is that we are closer to the roads, the parking, the bathrooms, the merchants and the dining hall. Traffic flow will be much easier, and there is also more space around and behind for tents. The "bad" is that we lose the ability to put up tents on one side of the field (the one against the dining hall) and things are not as square, neat and symmetric as they were. My careful map and sketch were abandoned, and people will find that some tents are now behind others, but we limited this where possible. I will be there early to help make use of the space we have. We will not be putting up the Heronter pavilion, but instead invite people to watch the tourney from the porch of the dining hall which lines one side of the field. It will be a dry seat with a great view. Thank you for your support of the change, and we hope this makes for a wonderful Crown Tourney even if the weather is not spectacular.

The result was a mix of polearm fights, and two sword fights (with one gentle who came out with just one great sword). - The semi finals were Count Christopher (from the winner's list) defeating Sir Michael of Northwood and THL Magnus Tindal defeating Count Duncan von Halstern. - The Ladies of the Rose and Garnet (with the permission of TRM) asked Lord Olafr Thorvardharson to hold the shield of chivalry even though a survey of said ladies proved that none can really pronounce "Thorvardharson". (Fortunately, the Silver Buccle Herald can). - The ladies (and others) also noted that this tourney was generally marked with both a high level of courteous behavior as well skill, but the constant chivalry as well as infectious joy of Olafr made him the one to choose over many other fine fighters. - The most popular fashion accessory for those presented to TRM to fight in this tourney was a "baby/toddler". All four of the semi-finalists possess such a thing, although Sir Michael did not bring his to the field, and Count Duncan and Countess Ilish brought two. This is in no way a suggestion that everyone pick one up for the next tourney. I would also commend Sir Koredono for carrying the child of his consort, but would suggest that next time someone says she is cute, he should come up with a reply other than "well, you can have her, she isn't mine".

Replies and questions are sent to discussion at aethelmearc.org or directly to the person making the announcement. ________________________________________________________________________ Court report of TRM's Khalek and Branwyn from Crown Tournament on May 3rd A.S. 43 held in the Shire of Heronter as reported by THL Matilda Bosvyle de Bela Acqua, Silver Buccle, with the assistance of Lady Aibell Suil-uaine. Upon the field. Following the final blow of the tournament, TRM's placed the coronet upon the victor, Count Christopher Rawlins, naming him Prince and heir to the throne of AEthelmearc. His Highness turned to His lady wife, Countess Morgan of Rye, asked her if it was still her wish to serve beside Him. With her affirmation, she did remove her chain and belt of fealty to her Knight. His Highness then placed the coronet upon her head and named Her Princess of AEthelmearc. Their Highnesses each swore Their oath of fealty to AEthelmearc upon the great Sword of State. Within the Hall. TRM's accepted the oath of fealty of Caleb Reynolds, Baron of the Rhydderich Hael and current Kingdom Archery Champion. He presented Them with booty won in tournament and a fine bottle of liquid from the Rhydderich Hael Brewers Guild. Their Majesties received the oath of fealty of Ulrich Drachendonner, Baron of the Endless Hills. They then called forth all of Their landed Barons and Baronesses to secure their assistance and support for the coming War. Having done so Their Majesties provided their Excellencies with traditional Mongolian tokens of safe passage. Sir Angus MacBain swore his oath of fealty to the Crown and declared that he was Their man. Their Majesties were most pleased to hear this and promised to call upon him to serve. Lord Ian Ard mac an Bhaird, swore his oath of service to AEthelmearc as Kingdom Web Minister and newly designated Great Officer of the Kingdom, with all the responsibilities pertaining there to. Lord Patrick the Lost was found and awarded the Golden Alce for his service to the Kingdom as a heavily armored fighter in many Pennsic battles (scroll Brianna of Stelton Wald). Lord Arden Scot of Clan Scot was called before Their Majesties along with Lady Deirdre Scot for Clan Scot. She was created a companion of the Order of the Keystone for her many services rendered to her home Shire of Hartstone (scroll illum. Brianna of Stelton Wald, calig. Gianna di Aurelio). He was named a companion of the Golden Alce for his prowess on the field of tournament combat and the field of battle at Pennsic (scroll by Gianna di Aurelio). Lord Jacob of Heronter was designated as a Companion of the Golden Alce for his passion and drive upon the fencing field (scroll by Barbary Rose, words by Po Silvertop the Rogue). Lord Antonio de Luna, much admire for his service to the realm was called before Their Majesties because of his sharp skills with a rapier and made a companion of the Golden Alce (scroll by Barbary Rose, words by Deianeira Rodriguez y Aragones). Baron Vladisla Nikulich was awarded the Order of the Cornelian for his gentle encouragement and assistance to new comers (scroll by Lara Sukhedrev). The Ladies of the Rose and Garnet came before the court and announced that they were much inspired by the joy displayed upon the field by Lord Oafr Thorvardarson and named him the next bearer of the shield of Chivalry. Sir Bear the Wallsbane relinquished the shield to his successor and departed the Court with a light step. Court was closed.

It really helped just pulling in and being able to set up and not trying to figure out if we left early enough to get a spot and were the tent would fit. Having troll at the field for the combatants and consorts saved us time. It can be very hard running (and usually at crown it is running) back and forth.

To that end I need to inform you that there was a typo in the event announcement that is printed in the May issue of AESTEL. The address for the reservations' clerk is missing a digit. So I am inserting the announcement, in it's entirety and with the correct mailing address herewith: "?thelmearc Spring Academy June 20-22, Shire of Coppertree (Brookfield, NY) On June 20-22, ?thelmearc Spring ?cademy will be held at the spacious and comfortable Madison County Fairgrounds, Fairgrounds Road (no street number), Brookfield, NY 13314, in the Shire of Coppertree. This site is approximately 25 miles due south of Utica, NY. One and all are invited to enjoy a weekend where you may expand your knowledge and hone your skills and no one will walk away hungry! A wide variety of classes, from bardic talents, sewing arts, and fighting, are in the works. Artisans, bring your messiest crafts, for we can accommodate them on our spacious grounds. Didst thou want to dye? To cook outdoors? To work on metal, on a forge? To try your siege craft? To brew, to run your hounds on scent trails, or even to work on equestrian skills? Stables are available for an additional fee of $20 for the weekend; you must provide proof of negative Coggins test and pre-register. There is an enclosed paddock for turning out your horses. These and many other assorted arts will be available for you to explore. That said, we need teachers to teach! All are welcome to sign up to teach a class(es); please go to the ?cademy website to register as a teacher for the ?cademy: http://www.aecademy.org/registration/index.php. Or you may contact the Chancellor of the ?cademy, THL Juliana Delamere, at deb at debrahofer.com. The Autocrats are Duchess Rowan de la Garnison (Loie Hodge, 6419 Co. Hwy. 18, West Winfield, NY, 13491, 315-855-4402), and Sigurdr (Jon Prosser, PO Box 165, Eaton, NY 13334, 315-750-4599, sigurdrisolfsson at gmail.com).The site opens at 6 PM on Friday and closes at 12 noon on Sunday. Flat, grassy, convenient camping space is available, with flush toilets and warm showers. The site is pet friendly. There are large buildings with electric outlets and tables and chairs for indoor activities. There is an outdoor stage with a roofed pavilion for protection from sun or rain. We also have a grandstand and infield for combat on a large or small scale. The site is handicap accessible. It is discreetly damp; please take your empties with you. The Shire will be providing an all-day side board from the skilled hands of THL Edana Aldys Haukyns. Contact the autocrats with any allergies or dietary restrictions that you may have. Fees for camping are $25 per person. The day fee for Saturday is $15. Fees are half price for 12 and under. There will be an additional $3 non-member surcharge. Please, we need to have pre-registrations for the event so that we may plan on feeding you sufficiently! Send your event reservations to Lady Elwyn Stone (Susan Schiffer, 9658 Elpis Road, Camden, NY 13316, 315- 245-3596 before 10 PM.) Make checks payable to SCA-Shire of Coppertree. DIRECTIONS: From East and West, take I-90 to Exit 31 (Utica, NY). Follow signs to Route 8 south and then follow Route 8 south until you cross Route 20. Go approximately another 4 miles and watch for signs for a right turn to Brookfield and Fair Grounds. Turn right onto the Skaneateles Turnpike and follow it 3-4 miles to Brookfield; watch for a right turn onto Fairgrounds Road, which leads you directly to the site. There is an alternate route directly from Route 20 that is flatter and easier for horse trailers. Contact the autocrat if you want these alternate directions." The June AESTEL will have the corrected announcement. If anyone has any questions about the event please contact the Autocrats.

The forum will take place in the Barn from noon until 2:00 p.m. An Artisan's Forum is an opportunity to share your artistic or scientific passion with the subjects of the Kingdom in a non-competitive environment. It is also a wonderful opportunity to meet other members of the A&S community from different parts of our Kingdom. Please, bring your works in progress, your completed works, your documentation, or just what you're working on right now. Performers, bring your instruments and share your musical talents. This forum is not only for experienced artisans or scientists; this is for everyone, at all levels of skill and knowledge. The display format allows you the ability to share your talent and knowledge without the pressure of competition. It also allows you to get feedback, if you want it, in an environment of mutual support. If you have any questions about the Artisans Forum, please send mail to: wp.artisansforum at gmail.com.

At the June ?cademy, there will be an A&S Roundtable focusing on building community within the Kingdom hosted by Mistress Elisabeth (the Kingdom A&S Minister) and me. With the sharp increases in gasoline and the cost of living, it has become more and more difficult for people to travel within the Kingdom to learn, teach, and be inspired by others outside of our local areas. Because of the structure of how knowledge is passed along in the Society, it is vitally important for us to be able to interact in order to share our knowledge and to be inspired and educated by what others are doing. This round table is to discuss these issues and to find solutions that will work best for the community at large. Please consider coming to this roundtable discussion at the June ?cademy; sharing your thoughts and feelings, and working together to find meaningful solutions. If you are not able to attend the ?cademy and would like to weigh in on this topic, or if you are attending and would like to weigh in on this topic sooner rather than later, please email me directly at jenn.strobel at gmail.com.

This will help others who might also find it useful to find it and make use of it. Thanks, Stefan ----- A Blending of the Past and Present Over the past seventeen years in an ongoing effort, I have been collecting bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail lists and articles submitted to me by their authors. In order to make this information available to others, I have placed this information in a collection of files I call Stefan's Florilegium. The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an article that would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send it to me for possible inclusion in the Florilegium. A&S documentation and class handouts will also often work out well. I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping me maintain the Florilegium.

Agincourt October 25th 2008 Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot: Follow your spirit; and, upon this charge Cry 'God for Harry! England and Saint George!' Henry V, 3. 1 We invite one and all to join us for our third annual celebration of the feast of Saint Crispin! Our event is themed on the battle of Agincourt that was fought in northern France as part of the Hundred Years' War. The battle was fought on a rainy Saint Crispin?s Day, in 1415 between the English and Welsh army of King Henry V and the French army of King Charles VI. The many fights to be had throughout the day will sate Fighter and Fencers alike. For the fencers, your day will begin with a melee on an hourglass shaped field; you will later fight the Tavern Brawl as well as a Fencing Tourney. For the Heavy Fighters, you have many battles ahead of you, all with combat archery. The Heavy Tavern Brawl will take place in the afternoon, hand weapons only please. What a sad day this would be without archery, Archers won the Battle of Agincourt. Along with combat archery, we will hold an Archery Tournament and a Youth Archery Tournament. There will also be an opportunity to test the skills of Aethelmearc?s Archers against a fierce French Army. There will be plenty to do for the non-fighter as well. There will be an A&S competition with the theme being Leather working. We are also looking for kind gentles to hold classes throughout the day on topics relevant to the period. We would especially like to see classes on leather working in honor of St. Crispin. An amazing lunch and feast is being prepared as well by the very talented Odriana vander Brugghe, Odriana will be cooking a feast of 14th Century English cuisine. During feast we will have a Dueling Bards Competition, to entertain the crowd and all honored guests. Garb of the period is requested and will make the atmosphere more authentic, but of course not required. This grand event is to be held at the Dorseyville Volunteer Fire Department Social Hall, 100 Charles Street Dorseyville, PA 15238. The Site fee will be $10.00 of Off Board (Side board lunch included), and $17.00 On Board. Children ages 6-12 shall be half price and Wee Ones (5 and under) shall be free. The site opens at 9am and closes at 10pm. No pets inside the building except service animals. The site is wet, period containers please. We invite all to bring banners of their Family and Households to decorate the walls of the feast hall.

THL Jacquelin de Normandie has informed me that Viscountess Elaina von Mannheim (Toni Cordaro), 29th Princess of the Sun, has passed away in Atenveldt on Sunday, May 4 at 11:45 a.m. Vicountess Elaina reigned with HE Viscount Sir Ulric von Brettvalda, the Dragon Bear (9/15/1990-3/16/1991).

By request of her family, any inquires should be sent to THL Jacquelin at (jacquelineofnormandie at yahoo.com) or call her at 623-434- 8498. There will be a memorial service for Viscountess Elaina on Friday, May 9 at 5 p.m. The funeral home is Mountain Memorial Gardens (7900 E. Main, Mesa, AZ 85027). The family asks for no flowers to be sent please. However if you wish to send a card please either send it to the funeral home or in care of her daughter Eileene Zungia, 9736 E. Balsam Ave, D101. Mesa AZ, 85027. Her daughter is planning a get together at her home afterwards. All are invited to come and share in the memories of Elaina.

According to sources in the area power crews have been working all month on stringing new lines throughout the area near the site and have initially taken all the normally available motel space. So, just in case anyone out there knows of someone who may want to go to War Practice this coming weekend and may be in need of a reasonable motel room because of health or other issues and cannot find one, I can help. I have a room booked at Michael's Motel just up the road from the site that I now will not need. Instead of just canceling it I would like to offer it up to someone first. If you would like more details please contact me privately no later than Tuesday morning via the following addy: biotta at worldnet dot att dot net and I will give price and room details.

Proceeds from the raffle will be donated to Their Majesties to assist them in deferring travel expenses, they have a busy schedule ahead and with gas costing what it does every little bit will help! The Tribe provides the physical presence of selling tickets, hauling stuff to and from the barn, etc but we are always amazed at the generosity of the populace who are willing to donate items for either the raffle itself or books for the book sale. If you would like to buy tickets or donate items Lady Fionnghuala or another member of the Tribe will be in the barn (look for the tables of "stuff" normally to your left when you enter the barn and the Tribe banner a golden torque on a red field). The raffle itself will be Sunday morning starting at 9 am and going until all items are gone, hopefully finishing timely so as not to interfere with Their Majesties Curia.

Do you find yourself more often bringing your own food to events because lunch isn't offered or there isn't enough? When planning an event lunch or dinner, how can you prepare a period meal that is filling, varied, and delicious -- while keeping it affordable so that people want to stay onboard? Sitting down to eat together is one of the cornerstones of the SCA -- let's not allow the economy to make this a thing of the past! I welcome all inquiring minds to participate in the Frugal Feasts roundtable Saturday at 1 p.m. in A&S3. Let's share ideas and tips, which can be distilled into a helpful article in the AEstel and/or TI.

It's been too long since I saw you last. :) I would love to help, but I'm not going to be at War Practice. If you could manage to get a napkin to someone from Port Oasis or Blackstone, that would be great. If you don't know people from here, you could check with Baroness Anna Eisenfaust and Baron Bataar Sogdo, and they can definitely point you in the right direction.

In an effort to ensure the succession of the Royal lineage, and with support of the Board of Directors of the SCA, Inc., an ad hoc Crown tournament will be held on Sunday, May 26, at 10 am., prior to the already published and announced tournament. This tournament will be open to Sir Lutr Ulfskjald and those combatants and consorts who are found to be acceptable to the Regent. Following the conclusion of this tournament, the victor will immediately be Crowned King and Queen of the Midrealm and the previously advertised Crown tournament will commence as scheduled. Complete details will be posted on the Crown Tourney website in the near future. Thank you all for your patience and understanding during this unprecedented occasion in the Midrealm, In Service, Duke Palymar of the Two Baronies Regent of the Midrealm No virus found in this outgoing message.

However, from what I have gathered on the midrealm list, they are having an Ad-Hoc tourney the same day as the scheduled Crown Tourney and anyone the regents feel suitable and their consorts may fight Lutr for the crown. It is said that those who will oppose him in name, will be in name only. They will abdicate the field, Lutr will once again be given his rightful reign with his lovely wife and that will be that. We'll see. It seems the entire kingdom is up in arms about it and has agreed to do this with the sanction of the BOD.

The later developments seem to indicate that there will have to be at least one "active" opponent during the Ad Hoc Midrealm Crown to be fought at 10AM on Saturday next (May 24) or, under Corpora, the results could be once again invalidated (cf. the clause regarding the expectation for a "contested" Crown Tourney). What this is *really* beginning to remind me of is standing witness when the original imposition of the NMS was declared back in '94 or so -- and watching the artfully presented declarations by Duke Inman in court at Steppes Warlord, here in Ansteorra, following (leading up to?) the Estrella Compact. One solid part of that memory should still be stored carefully against need, one place or another, in the nature of new words for old songs, and this new development might even trigger a whole new round of verses. (VERY rough first draft, two "new" verses to old music ["Rising of the Moon" / "Rising of the Star"] ... Still noodling for an appropriate variation to use as a chorus...) Ah, the Midrealm folk now tell us they've had an edict from afar Their Crown's mail was "misplaced" or "lost", Gus -- We have heard that tale before. The BoD's decree is "Abdicate!", and the Regent's Palymar. Do I hear a pounded anvil ringing, underneath a Unique Star... We're the folk of all the SCA, from ten thousand different bands, And we know there's rules to keep us safe from over-heavy hands But some rules too tight interpreted raise alarm bells here and thar, I'll bet some bards will soon be singing, underneath that Unique Star... (Eh, what did you expect from a scratchy-eyed bard with too little sleep at 3AM? ) INTERJECTION: In fairness to the BoD, every indication is that they *are* working with the Midrealm to address the issues involved, and the Ad-Hoc / Fill-In Crown Tourney for the Midrealm is one outgrowth of that. Reading between the lines, I also note that some other revisions of policies, practices, and admonitions to Crown Tourney participants (and potential Consorts) will all emerge from this. I have never myself had a membership renewal completely disappear, but apparently there are some who have had it happen multiple times if sent via USPS mail. For any who are busily drafting letters of comment or indignation to be sent to the Board of Directors of SCA, Inc., I would strongly encourage you to take into account the whole story (go find the Middlebridge archives, etc.), your own past experiences with the Office of the Registry, and the modern alternatives now available.

I believe that this issue is not one of who is right and who is wrong (not that your response tried to make it seem that way). It would appear to be one of real life taking precedence over our "game" and a set of rules that we have in place to ensure the consistency of said "game." Their Majesties of the Midrealm were going through a tough time and their membership lapsed. I'd be willing to bet that the Kingdom Seneschal did know when their membership was going to lapse and was probably in contact with them to ensure that they renew. I can guess (although I don't know) that if it is the Kingdom Seneschal's duty to keep tabs on such things, s/he most likely did. The BoD is required to immediately terminate their reign. They certainly did their job. It is a bad situation from the start and it's only being made worse by "dissing" the BoD or anyone else involved. Mistakes happen, real life happens and sometimes it just plain sucks. I feel for Their (former, soon to be current again) Majesties of the Midrealm. I've never served as a Kingdom official, I've only held local offices, but I can imagine the angst TRM must feel towards the BoD right now. What must be remembered is that they are only doing the job that we created them for. We, the Populace, nominated the members of the Board so some of us must have faith in them. Was the BoD being mean? No more so than the police officer that pulls you over for exceeding the speed limit. You might feel, from your point of view, that it's mean but the fact of the matter is that rules were set in place for a reason and actions must be taken when those rules are broken. I would hope that in later years, if such situations ever come up again, they might be handled differently. I also hope sincerely that no one truly challenges Sir Lutr and that he and his Lady wife may resume where they left off (is it okay to "take a fall" in Crown?). Lady Brianna mentioned that we do not/cannot vote on these issues. Would it be nice? Yes. Practical? Not really. I do not know the current membership of the Society, but think how difficult it would be to get a vote from everyone. The most efficient way to handle such things would be to create new offices at least at the Kingdom level, probably for Baronies as well, that would handle such votes. And how would we handle the actual voting? Believe it or not, not everyone has 24x7 access to a computer so it wouldn't be prudent to do it electronically. But think of all the paper work involved with a paper vote. Would the groups have to hold special meetings for each vote? Which issues would the Populace be allowed to vote on? Representatives in the BoD, tally officials, chads, voting machines....

For Immediate Release ? 5/19/08 FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The invalidation of the reign of Middle Kingdom Crown and Consort Lutr and Tessa is one which has had ramifications across Kingdom borders and has emotionally affected many of our members. This action, though unfortunate, was necessary and was not made without serious deliberation. There are a numbers of factors which the Board Members must take into consideration when faced with a situation such as occurred in the Middle Kingdom ? Corpora and the organization?s history and precedent. The rules in the governing documents of the SCA requiring current, valid memberships for all Crowns and Consorts for the duration of their reigns are clear and concise. Likewise, precedent has been set in previous similar occurrences stretching back over twenty-five years. In each case, the penalty for such a lapse, regardless of cause, has been the same. Please rest assured that the awards granted and honors given by Lutr and Tessa during their time on the thrones of the Middle Kingdom remain valid. The actions of the Board of Directors do not negate these awards. The Board invites comments from the populace on how such unfortunate situations could be avoided in the future. Questions, suggestions and comments can be sent to comments at sca.org. Hal Simon Chairman, Board of Directors Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. Comments are strongly encouraged and can be sent to: SCA Inc. Box 360789 Milpitas, CA 95036 You may also email comments at lists.sca.org.

Practice will be Thursdays from 6:00 until we get tired of shooting. As always, this is weather permitting. All are welcome, novice and skilled alike. I have some loaner equipment and we have a new backdrop to help avoid those pesky lost arrows in the grass. I'm even willing to give crossbow lessons to anyone interested in coming to the dark side. I have enough room for royal rounds and even some shooting as long as 60 yards. I am in Ellwood City Pennsylvania, which is just south of New Castle and about 15 to 20 minutes from Cooper's Lake where Pennsic is held. We're about an hour North of Pittsburgh and about 10 minutes off of Exit 13 on the Turnpike. Google Maps has pretty good directions. We're at 507 Harding Street, Ellwood City, Pa 16117. My phone number is 724-462-4806 if you get lost. Hope to see many of you there, Cetach Fitzgibbon From KaziBrionSCA at worldnet.att.net Mon May 19 12:08:56 2008 From: KaziBrionSCA at worldnet.att.net (KaziBrionSCA) Date: Mon, 19 May 2008 12:08:56 -0400 Subject: [SCA-AE] FW: [Mid] Sad news from Lutr and Tessa In-Reply-To: References: <002701c8b843$4a8a5b00$1001a8c0@otter> Message-ID: <9DF2B1D697F74F61A9CE242CB7B797BA@HomeOffice> <> Sadly, this doesn't surprise me at all in light of the isses Brion has been discussing with the marshallate. Their current interpretation is that "if something is not explicitly permitted, it may or may not be fobidded, at the discretion of the marshall in charge". Thus, Brion lost his autorization for a year based on an "unwritten rule" he "broke". And the "unwritten rule" changed like sand underfoot at high tide with every argument presented. It's kind of like being labeled a terrorist in the real life and being shipped off to Guantanamo without your family knowing whatever happened to you, and not being told why. There is no due process in the SCA as we used to know it in the USA. Why do you expect the BOD to act better in a case where there was an actual breach of written rules, even if that breach should be pinned on the US Post Office?

This was not an interpretation of an unwritten rule. This was a clear violation, no mastter how temporary, of a long-standing rule. I've seen it enforced at least once in the East several years ago. And, please note that the solution arrived at, one that we saw posted yesterday to the Ae Discussion DL, allows all the fighters in the previous Crown to participate. The Board of Directors enforced a rule, fairly & justly. Although you may not like the rule or the fact of the enforcement, it was done & done correctly.

Yes. All concerned will now participate in an elaborate mummery with a scripted outcome, designed to ensure that what everyone wants to see happen can actually happen. The law has been revealed as an ass, and now everyone must dance to its braying as they are compelled to put aside substance to observe the form. Whom, exactly, is served by a law that enlists good folk into hypocrisy, merely to ensure a just outcome following an honest mistake? - Michael From amyheilveil at gmail.com Mon May 19 14:41:19 2008 From: amyheilveil at gmail.com (Amy Heilveil) Date: Mon, 19 May 2008 14:41:19 -0400 Subject: [SCA-AE] FW: [Mid] Sad news from Lutr and Tessa In-Reply-To: <9DF2B1D697F74F61A9CE242CB7B797BA@HomeOffice> References: <002701c8b843$4a8a5b00$1001a8c0@otter> <9DF2B1D697F74F61A9CE242CB7B797BA@HomeOffice> Message-ID: <9e8e32f00805191141x67c617f8xdc1c0fb09ac62e28@mail.gmail.com> If I may, The rule is that if you are in a Crown Tournament, your membership must be up to date. The rule is that if you are a reigning Monarch, your membership must be up to date. Those who fight in Crown Tournaments are adults. They hold jobs, pay bills, have children, and have a lot of daily responsibility. They are treated as adults. As adults know, there are consequences to not following rules. There are two rules at the top of this email. The two adults involved in this did not live up to their responsibilities, therefore, the consequences of this are now being visited upon them. The BOD did their job. They followed the rules. If someone bonks Lutr on the head and wins the Crown for the remainder of the reign, it's legal, it's lawful, and it's their right. That someone would be following the rules, they wouldn't have 'stolen' the reign, they would have won it, just like Lutr won the Crown when he bonked someone. If everyone in the tournament lays down and allows Lutr to win without any fighting, it's an invalid tournament and the rules would have been broken again. Personally, I hope all combatants fight with all their heart and might. It is, after all, a Crown Tournament. I may be a minority, but I see the BOD as having acted correctly and in accordance with the rules of the Society. It's a rule to be a member if you're reigning. The people reigning have a responsibility to make sure that their membership is up to date. Lutr and Tessa didn't live up to that responsibility. Why isn't anyone upset with them? Why is it the BOD's fault that these two people put off renewing their membership until it was imperative to have it done? And if they had waited that long, why didn't they renew it online, as that would have been faster and there would have been no chance of 'the mailman ate my renewal'? And does everyone want Monarchs that can't take care of such a basic responsibility? The BOD is being *tremendously* nice to allow a tournament for someone to take over the remainder of the reign (be it Lutr or whoever wins). Normally, the Regents would reign until the next Crown Tournament (which will be on the same day as this ad hoc tournament) and that winner would step directly into the Crown. How many can say that they would suddenly be ready to step into those shoes on such short notice, mentally, emotionally or financially when the plan had been for everything to be in motion in September? Something to think upon, Cu Respectivo Despina ot Brasov apprentice to Master Wolfgang von Roessler, OL, Baron of the Court, Middle Kingdom addendum: If one is entering a Crown Tournament, perhaps one should automatically pay for another year of membership so as to not have to worry about a lapse, if one should win. Should one win a Crown Tournament, perhaps one should automatically pay for another year of membership upon being crowned heir, so as to not worry about lapse.

I am pleased that those involved are handling the matter with honor and dignity, instead of whining and complaining. They are taking responsibility for the error, and are correcting matters in an honorable fashion. This speaks well of them. And the "sham" tournament only underlines the populace's support for them. I believe the matter is being addresed properly, and they have earned my respect for doing so. Many might believe the BoD should have made an exception in their case. However, that can lead to a dangerous precedent, and cries of unfairness when subsequent "exceptions" are not made for others. Sometimes "observing form" is important, and no one knows that better than Their Majesties who are doing this. They are faithfully fulfilling the letter of the law, and treating it with respect. In this, we should follow their example. -Brianna Quoting "Michael B.

This is not revolting, chutzpah, or a dictatorial whim - it is procedure. And as anyone who runs any organization knows, you have to have some concrete procedure in order for it to function. I would not want to belong to any group that thinks bending the rules is OK...if three days is acceptable, why not three weeks? If medical expenses are an excuse, what about theft? Where do you draw the line once it has been smudged? I've read how the Midrealm Crown will be awarded, and am thoroughly warmed by the actions to be taken by those who enter the special tournament. This is chivalry as I expect it from this organization. No matter how annoying the first decision might be, the latter is heartily welcomed. Don't fault those you elected to do the job of running the SCA when they actually do it. I'm glad this happened, maybe just to wake up me and others who might get careless about renewals.

Simply put, I consider the corporate mentality to be one of the more dismaying blights upon the mundane world. Too often in life I find myself dealing with policy rather than with people, and with the sense of disenfranchisement that accompanies it. I expect more, and better, from our Society. I work to try to make that "more and better" come about, and so do many others, no doubt including yourself. When all that effort and belief in what we are building is undermined because someone's Form XYZ-23-B(2) has not been placed in the correct pidgeon hole during the prescribed phase of the moon, it cheapens us. In these Modern Middle Ages we strive to create, it seems to me that good faith and a willingness to make amends should be permitted to counter a harmless error committed by inadvertant omission, particularly when not permitting this creates so much trouble for so many people. That it does not seem that way to the BoD is the reason for my upset. The rules must serve us, and not the other way around. "Bright lines" have their place and their purpose, just as do the rules themselves, but like any other instance of "one size fits all" it can be taken to excess. I believe that this is just such an excess. An honest and readily-correctible error that harmed no one need not -- and should not -- be met with a "nuke" as a matter of first resort. >Don't fault those you elected to do the job of running the SCA when they >actually do it. I do fault them, readily and without hesitation. I think this matter was handled poorly under circumstances in which remediation was readily achievable, the breach was minimal and extenuating circumstances existed. It also seems to me that as a result, the Midrealm as a whole has been ill-used by those whose job is to protect the Society's interests and values. I have written to the BoD to express my thoughts, and to suggest remediation of Corpora in hope that the honest mistake of one will not again have such a profound effect on so many. Perhaps the simplest way to solve the problem once and for all is for the Society to award each new Crown Prince and Princess an automatic one-year extension of their memberships, in recognition of their service to come. - Michael From LadyDeianeira at att.net Mon May 19 17:28:57 2008 From: LadyDeianeira at att.net (Lady Deianeira) Date: Mon, 19 May 2008 17:28:57 -0400 Subject: [SCA-AE] FW: [Mid] Sad news from Lutr and Tessa References: <11835013.1791521211229190699.JavaMail.javamailuser@localhost> Message-ID: <01dd01c8b9f7$60cac020$c700a8c0@AVALON> So on the topic of consequences.. By the logic set forthwith - and the rationale subsequent the issue.. Then maybe we should demand the resignation of the BOD for allowing our security to be compromised when HQ was broken into? And maybe we should ...... Open a long-standing can of worms regarding the individual who broke a fighters collarbone during a field-battle? (long - UGLY - story here) And just maybe we should... Demand if this rule is going to be enforced to this level - that Corpora be held to the same level of responsibility - and provide verification of [receipt of] and [processing of] - renewals and other forms of paperwork that we "in the field" must submit in such timely fashion - and additionally be held responsible for insuring that (without any cause or excuse) the processing and return of said materials back to the members - are forwarded without delay? No finger pointing - just queries, posers, thoughts... Yes, there are alternatives to mailing - such as online renewal - HOWEVER - (from personal experience) - this doesn't always work either.. there have been a few times I've fought with the online renewals for days trying to get it to work. Unfortunate as it is, computer/internet is only a slight bit more dependable than today's USPS - and then only when there's no glitches or problems in the processing software or with the (gasp - now of course this could *NEVER happen) financial institution! Unfortunately we don't live within the Walgreen's City Limits - and our town isn't called "Perfect" - life happens and allowances should be made (or at the very least, considered) for honest life-given mishaps. Personally - I've gone months without seeing an AEstel - and - have even had to have duplicate cards sent - because my items were never received and (presumed) lost in the mail... If the membership must be held to a certain level of responsibility - then so should those who direct the organization as a whole. Just my 2 cents..

Yes we are adults, but they sent in their memberships in good faith expecting that it was taken care of as every other member has done for the past forty years. Then something tragic happens and they are not necessarily paying full attention as to whether the mail got properly delivered and Milpitas did their part in a timely fashion. Hey I just got hit by a truck and put in the hospital, better make sure the post office has delivered my membership and that I have been duly renewed." It is not something that most people would do... until they don't see their new card. As has happened innumerable In another case someone deliberately hits someone else hard enough to cause broken bones and /or severe injury. In one case it was announced horseplay with supposed permission and yet authorizations were yanked, in the other a person was already "dead" and had loudly and repeatedly declared it and followed proper procedures and yet the other continued to rain blows AFTER breaking bones.. oh but THAT one was swept under the carpet.... in the former a regular member struck a peer, in the latter a peer struck a regular member. And you wonder why I am so upset?... You may wonder why the BOD is constantly wondering why we have such poor retention of members? Perhaps it is the perceptions that the SCA is a "Good ol' boys" club where only the privileged see justice and the rank and file are treated like dirt beneath their feet. Milady, perhaps if there was equity or equality in rule enforcement and a minimum of favoritism, I would not be so incensed at such conduct or occurrences, sadly this is not so and the proverbial 'closet of skeletons' is bursting at the seams.

(This was sufficiently long ago that I'm pretty sure there's been a *complete* turnover in the BoD makeup as well as Corporate officers -- if not more than one.) The official response at the time?

Midrealm law already requires that combattants prove that their membership is good until at least one month after crown tournament. Changing that to 12 months is not really adding a new regulation.

The A&S Forum at War Practice was a great success. There were many people that brought their work to share and there were people browsing through and talking to our exhibitors for the entire duration of the Forum. It was so wonderful to see so many talented people all in one place. I want to thank our participants: Renata the posh rot - Displayed her gouache paintings Hrefna in heppna - Displayed her calligraphed indenture and instructions for making strapwork initials Olivia d'Anjou - Brought information about beekeeping and Displayed the beginnings of her newest Skep (where bees are kept) Malcolm MacAngus - Displayed his incredible portraits Guenevere Katherine of Trails End and Magdalena Binder - Displayed information about documentation and research Bovi Farma?r - Brought his amazing iron work and leather shoes Juliana Delamere - Displayed her tablet weaving and her Viking tunic. Christofano Vecchione - Brought his entire portfolio of work (spanning 20 years) Isolda filia Georgii - Brought her illumination, portrait miniatures, and shared information about the A&S 50 Challenge Gianna di Aurelio - Displayed her illuminated pieces Rosalind Ashworth - Brought her tablet weaving, embroidery, and appliqu? Clarice Roan - Brought her amazing hats and shared her documentation Artemius Andreas Magnus - Displayed stained glass from start to finish Bronwyn MacFhionghuin - Brought strawberry tarts and her redaction of the strawberry tart recipe she used from the Good Husewife's Jewell Thank you all for participating and for making the Forum such a joy to attend and making my job as coordinator such a pleasant one.

That reason being the ability to maintain a certain level of organization. I am grateful for structure in its many forms but in creating structure we as human beings must allow for circumstances to sometimes fall outside of our control. When this happens is it not a time for the benefit of the doubt to be observed? Their Majesties did what was asked of them and others dropped the ball. Our Society is supposed to represent Chivalry in all its incarnations. With that in mind would it not have been better to rule using common sense and compassion rather than walking through the situation with blinders on? I don't fault anyone involved. The BOD for doing its job, TRM for doing what was required of them or the USPS for just being terrible as usual. Just keep in mind when you take the human factor out of our Society on any level you cheapen what we stand for. We as people make mistakes and it is from those mistakes that we learn. Hell I spend about 22 hours a day learning :). It appears that a solution for this situation has been found and when those members of the Middle stand behind what has been said it shows their dedication to the Codes of Chivalry and that is all that matters. As Always, In Service Gabriel Hawkes chatalot at verizon.net wrote: Excuse me - but why are you so upset about the action taken by the BoD? This is not revolting, chutzpah, or a dictatorial whim - it is procedure. And as anyone who runs any organization knows, you have to have some concrete procedure in order for it to function. I would not want to belong to any group that thinks bending the rules is OK...if three days is acceptable, why not three weeks? If medical expenses are an excuse, what about theft? Where do you draw the line once it has been smudged? I've read how the Midrealm Crown will be awarded, and am thoroughly warmed by the actions to be taken by those who enter the special tournament. This is chivalry as I expect it from this organization. No matter how annoying the first decision might be, the latter is heartily welcomed. Don't fault those you elected to do the job of running the SCA when they actually do it. I'm glad this happened, maybe just to wake up me and others who might get careless about renewals.

I have, for 9 years, supplied my email, and have always received notices on expiring, in a timely manner. And, as far as the rules on this issue, when they entered the tourney, they read and were aware of said rules, and agreed to them, just like everyone person before them, and every person after them, and every person in some kind of position, in the SCA, has done for forty years. This is a "good ol boys club" in almost every case of someone getting hit way to hard, from so and so knight, and all they say is "sorry", and that's on rare occassions. Or someone getting broken bones, whether on purpose or accident, and nothing being done about it. The Bods and Corpra Officers, and ALL who hold some kind of official capacity, need to remember, THEY would have no purpose if it weren't for ALL of us little people, all of us who are JUST here to have fun, and maybe meet new people, or learn something new. I, for one, am glad to see TRMS, own up to what happened, and proved they are still real, normal human beings, who happen to play a role in this game.

And what if circumstances had played out differently? What if the BoD had said, "Oh, wow, that really sucks -- we understand completely!" and let them slide on their membership? Or, instead of saying "We had an attack of life and screwed up", TRMs decided to keep their mouths shut and pretend that everything was fine and tried to continue their reign? How MANY of those currently bitching about the BoD in this forum would have been bitching about THAT? How many would have been saying how horrible the BoD was to not follow the rules, and complain about how *certain* people get special treatment (to quote George Orwell "Some animals are more equal than others")? Like Fridrikr said -- this type of thing has happened before (with, I might add, different sets of Board members), and, IIRC, the results were pretty much the same.

(This was sufficiently long ago that I'm pretty sure there's been a *complete* turnover in the BoD makeup as well as Corporate officers -- if not more than one.) The official response at the time? "Wow, how terrible! That really sucks!" Then the rest of their barony was told that they had (IIRC) a month to put together a new slate of officers or their group was being nuked. Forthwith. I sympathize with Their Majesties. I've had problems with the disconnect between the USPS and Milpitas. Three times. It took a Postal Inspector calling Milpitas to get things straightened out (after a lot of fingerpointing from both parties). Ultimately, it was *MY* fault for not paying attention that my newsletters weren't arriving (the problem was an incorrect barcode, which was sending _AEstels_ and _TI_ issues to the wrong postal station, which was then returning them to Milpitas as "no such address"). But the fact remains. It was ultimately *their* responsibility to make sure that they followed the rules. And if the rule says "you must be a paid member to enter the Crown lists" then it is ultimately the responsibility of the entrants to make certain that they are paid members. Not the Seneschal, not the Earl Marshall (although it would have been nice to have somebody double-check). >From what has been posted here, they seem to have owned up that it was their responsibility, and seem willing to take their lumps. Would that all of us have done the same, instead of fingerpointing.

Lady Myfanwy, you've made an eloquent post, but I would like to preserve some facts from falling into legends: You wrote: > I also remember a case *many* years ago, (out in > Calontir, I think), where the baron and baroness and several officers were > killed in a car wreck driving home from a kingdom Twelfth Night in an ice > storm.

Then the rest of their barony was told > that they had (IIRC) a month to put together a new slate of officers or > their group was being nuked. Forthwith. The event was Calontir's second Coronation, held in late summer of 1984, in the Barony of Three Rivers (St. Louis, Mo). The baron, baroness, seneschal and herald of Coeur d'Ennui (Des Moines, Ia) were travelling together, and were struck by an oncoming truck. So far as I know, the outpouring of sympathy for the dead, their families, friends, and fellow Coeur d'Ennui members was sincere and heartfelt. If there were any threats made, I didn't hear about them, and I was local to the incoming king and queen at the time. I believe that Coeur d'Ennui may have been granted a hiatus from the responsibilities of a barony --which in Calontir at the time included monthly reports for some officers-- until they were ready to resume them. In any case, Coeur d'Ennui eventually picked itself back up, a new baron and baroness were installed some months later, and the group has been a stalwart of northern Calontir ever since. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to set this record straight. --Christian d'Hiver From helthehorrible at yahoo.com Mon May 19 23:43:18 2008 From: helthehorrible at yahoo.com (HEL) Date: Mon, 19 May 2008 20:43:18 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [SCA-AE] War Practice was Great!

There is no way of knowing who may win but we shall say the Sir Loin of Beef and his consort Lady Mignon have taken the day. Their membership will expire in three months so, having no internet, they send in their membership immediately via US Post. They have fulfilled the letter of the law. Meanwhile the Post office manages to lose things in it's inimitable fashion, and further Milpitas is well known for taking 6 weeks or longer to turn around a membership renewal. Under normal circumstances this would still not be a problem as our honorable nobles would notice that there cards had not arrived as the deadline draws near... but hark!! A tragic accident, a fire or a flood, perhaps something requiring hospitalization... a family thrown suddenly into turmoil. Suddenly small details that were supposedly "already taken care of" seem to slip the mind in the greater need of the family. Gamely they struggle on with their duties despite their problems. Not long after, things settle down and they realize that they STILL have not received their renewals even though they were sent in immediately after winning the tourney. They make an inquiry and discover to their horror that their membership has indeed lapsed... do they merely not mention the fact to anyone and try to quietly get things straightened out? No... They come forward and admit the error although the fault lies not with them. They do the honorable and chivalrous thing. Would the board have been keeping track of memberships for all royals and noticed this problem or would it need to be pointed out to them? What about the Kingdom Seneschal? What about any of the other kingdom officers? If any of them did notice and point this out to the BOD, who would be the ones to enforce this rule, Should not TRM's be notified BEFORE said membership expired so that they could attempt to resolve the issue? In the aforementioned scenarios, a dishonorable person could have probably passed unnoticed and gotten their memberships renewed without anyone knowing any different. Meanwhile an honest person who does the honorable and noble thing, is stripped of their crown, made to fight all over again to keep what they had already earned, an entire kingdom is thrown into turmoil, and a populace is appalled and moved to anger. If this sounds similar to what has already happened, remember that this could happen to anyone. The point being... Who stands to gain from each outcome? Has anyone benefited from the second outcome? Is adherence to the strictest interpretation of the rules, no matter what, worth EITHER of those possible outcomes? Disregarding the modern courts and interpretation of the laws of the land, was it not in period for those who ruled to occasionally bend the rules to allow clemency or even mercy in the rare extenuating circumstance? I submit that, if nothing else, this rule *really* needs to be modified before any further damage is done. I also submit that it should also be a responsibility of a kingdom's Legal officer, the seneschal, to insure that this type of thing does not happen again. If they are responsible for insuring that memberships are up to date PRIOR to participation in Crown Tournament, (as well as votes and other things) then they should also at least take an active role in making sure that their sovereigns memberships are current and forewarning them that it is about to expire in time for them to take action.

The things we learn from research we do, classes we take and the desire to follow the idealistic dream of Medieval chivalry. We follow a set of rules that have been set up so that everyone across the globe knows how to play the game our club has taken great pains to set up over the years. After reading all the posts regarding the sad occurance in the midrealm, I'm reminded of how frustrating it is when there are written rules which are bent or ignored and how they affect all the people and set precidences which are lamentable. It happens with the laws of our modern lives as well. Be that as it may. I am appalled by some of the statements I have read. Comments such as "peers vs. regular members"? Just becuase I don't have a white belt, laurel, pelican or crown on my head does not make me or any of the others in the society, no matter at what level they choose to play this game, less than a peer. Many of us hold offices, volunteer our time, share out knowledge, and love the spectactle of it all just as much as someone recognized and voted upon for the honor of being a peer. Some don't have the time in their real lives to devote that much time to a hobby. Others don't enjoy that much attention. Another comment that surpised me was something to the effect that peers should be granted a lifetime membership. If every peer was granted a lifetime membership card, that would place more of a burdon on the members who do not have that honor and the cost of membership would go up. Aren't those fees we pay going to pay for the Society's insurance and other financial responsibilities? Isn't that why we have to charge a non-member fee to people who come to our events and can't proove membership...so that we can pay those bills? Finally, when I chose to be an officer for my local group, I knew that I had to keep my membership current. Before I took that office, I paid upfront for two years of membership to cover my term of office so that I wouldn't be in violation of the rules we have. There shouldn't need to be an automatic extention for people holding offices and baronial seats. If someone wants to go to a concert, they either save up the money or they don't go.

I've been a peer for longer than not, and I don't think it's anyone's responsibility but my own to pay my membership. Which I have, for over thirty years. If we give away free memberships to *anyone*, I'd certainly rather it be to new members, to encourage them to stay and contribute to our society. As good and caring people, we all wish this sad situation had not happened, and we all think it should have been handled as kindly and mercifully as possible. But in fairness, the rules must be followed or they should not exist. Others have lost their opportunity to reign due to membership lapses (though none, AFAIK, lost it AFTER being crowned). I do not know Lutr and Tessa, and I choose to believe their account of what happened, but we have no way of knowing for certain if it is true. If an exception were made in this case, then those for whom an exception was *not* made would have valid grounds for complaint as well. And to those who complain that peers receive preferential treatment, I will point out that Lutr IS a peer, and has been treated fairly rather than preferentially, and as mercifully as the law allows. Lutr and Tessa have behaved with honor. The Board has acted with integrity. The Regent has, in the replacement Crown Tourney, devised is a merciful solution. As Master Fridrikr said, I hope that the replacement tourney is a true contest and not a sham, so that whoever wins can do so with equal honor. If we do not like the rules, we should petition the BoD to change them. But let's not chastise them for following the rules as they currently exist.

I am not saying that this happened in this situation, however in the hypothetical situation you described what if it was never sent in the first place? They knew their membership was coming due and they thought, "We need to do something about this." but promptly forgot because of the debacle at the office. Then life happened and things got forgotten about. Serious life, people got injured and hospitals were involved so the SCA membership slipped their minds again. So things settle and they realize they realize that it's too late to mail in their renewal, and they have to mail it in because they don't have internet in their home, their friends don't have internet in their home, they don't have internet at work none of the local officers have internet at home, the public library has no internet and there are no internet cafe's in a 100 mile radius (it could happen I guess). So their membership lapses and they say, "Our membership lapsed, we're very sorry" as well they should. The BOD looks up in corpora and says, "Sorry but the rule is, you are done". They could say, "The USPS lost it and life happened we're sorry." Should we let it go? If so, why have the rule at all? Why have the rule if a simple, unverifiable statement absolves them of all problems. However in this situation we follow the rules. Now there is outrage! Why? Most of the voices raised in outrage over this blind adherence to the rules of the society would be just as upset if the BOD bent the rules as they saw fit. It's your choice folks: A BOD that sticks to the mandates set before them and doesn't deviate or a BOD that bends them as they see fit. How long would it be before people were outraged by the BOD deciding that they could bend a rule that people liked? I don't know the people on the BOD and I have no reason to blindly support them. However, I do know what it feels like to be hounded and vilified for trying to do the job that you were asked to do and following the rules to the letter. It sucks. It causes people to decide that this body of people we call the society and the dream that goes along with it isn't fun after 18 years. You don't like the rule, change it! Get people active, ask for change, write intelligently worded letters explaining why it needs to be changed and suggest changes. So you are outraged, "So what?" Standing there whistling like a teakettle does nothing for anyone, get up and do something. Sit down and read corpora and pick out the sections you think might be a problem and try to find a different way of wording them to achieve a better end. Then submit your proposed changes. Will it work, who knows? Worth a shot. Will talking about tilting windmills ever bring them down? No. People complain about the "state of our society" all the time. Far fewer grab their lance mount their donkey and try to fix it. BD ?

This, however, is an idealized view of the organization. As an example, let me contrast a brief incident which occurred nine years ago. I fought in the Valentine's Day Tourney at Three Bears, and suffered a concussion due to excessive force blows. One knight, who sat with me while I was lying there on the table trying not to throw up, told me: "I wouldn't complain about this, Kazi. You are a woman fighter and you will come across as 'not serious enough'". I saw the chirurgeons. We went home. We contemplated stopping by a hospital, but didn't. Few days later at home I wrote a post to the Ironrose (a women fighter's list), complaining of excessive force, naming no names. What do you know, it leaked onto this list and there was hell to pay. How dare I accuse a knight of hitting too hard, or another knight of exhorting others to "hit as hard as they can"? How dare I complain about it - I did sign my waiver, didn't I? Then I vividly remember a time I was trying a new offside blow at a practice against a knight. That knight kept shield-punching me in the face. I called a hold and asked, "Do you realize you are hitting me in the face with your shield?" and he stopped and said, "Yes - I thought if I start hitting you with my shield, you'll stop hitting me with your basket hilt." "It's a new blow, I am sorry, I didn't realize I was hitting you with my basket hilt", I said. But you know, my hit with a basket hilt was accidental but his hit with a shield was intentional. Had it been the other way around, there might have been an official sanction. The way it played out, I just popped my hat and got some cold water. Contrast these to Brion's case, where he, a non-knight, accidentally injured a knight. There was hell to pay. Sorry folks, but we are an educational organization ruled by social clubs. Either you are in, or you are out. There is no real justice, because these social clubs are run by people not experienced in things like justice. They mean well, but when push comes to a shove, it's looking out for their "brothers". I feel a great sense of loss - I have lost my ideals in the SCA. There is no dream for me. I now recognize that people will err and behave as mere humans, and I guess that will have to suffice. Unfortunately, the stress of seeing gross injustice done, seeing the eyes closed and the ears stuffed with gambeson padding over the last few months has taken a real toll on my health. This may well be my last post to this list. As much as I miss the rich tapestry of the SCA, and many of you whom I count among my friends, seeing these stupid, unjust things occur is so upsetting to me my blood pressure is hard to control even with my brand-new blood pressure medicine (yes...this is a new thing). I shall miss many of you, but I am sorry, you are not worth my health. I have daughters I want to see grow into adults.

Because the people involved were active in fandom (as well as the SCA), my mother (who was in SFWA at the time) also read about it. A guy in the East Kingdom that I used to know had been squired to one of the people killed, which is how I had heard about it. I was still living with my parents at that point (it was over 2 decades ago), but I *definitely* remember hearing the part about "You have to get a new slate of officers quickly". It could have been a case (since it was a different kingdom from the East) of people either blowing stuff out of proportion, not getting all the facts, or simply a case of "telephone" where details get inadvertently changed. Gee -- sort of like *this* incident. :-) Thanks for your post.

Another place to check (depending on whether or not most of the armor pieces were metal) would be scrap yards. There have been numerous cases, here in the Pittsburgh area, in which copper piping is stolen out of vacant houses (I just read about another case yesterday, in the next town over from where I live) and sold to scrap and metal recycling places. I don't know what other metals have risen in price the way copper has, but it's definitely worth looking into. Additionally, several years ago, I saw a story on _CBS Sunday Morning_ about a place that buys and resells items lost on airlines that is never claimed. One of the items shown in the story looked like a Japanese-style helm (which sure looked list-legal to my untrained eye). I posted to this list, and asked that the message be posted to other lists as well. I don't know if anyone else saw the story (it was replayed a while back) and recognized the helm, or if anyone knows whose helm it was. Although I would think that someone would have *noticed* if their helm didn't get home from the War....

The Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund website has given a bit of a different story on the situation that Fisher Farms and other raw milk farms have been experiencing in Pennsylvania. In a nutshell, they describe a PDA official with being a megalomaniac and attempting to shut down raw milk farm distribution in the state with trumped up charges. It is amazing that with so many genuine problems needing to be addressed that the government is wasting so much time, money, and manpower to attack farmers seeking to make an honest living. You can read more about the situation from the perspective of the FtCLDF here: http://www.ftcldf.org/aa-03may2008.html They ask for those concerned to write to Pennsylvania State Representatives and Senators and give info how to contact them. If concerned individuals at Pennsic chose to write, that would be a massive influx of support for Fisher Farms and other raw milk farmers in Pennsylvania.

This amusement comes from my knowlege of the real story of chocolate milk. Commercially bottled chocolate milk starts out as regular milk on the store shelves. When milk reaches it's "sell by" date, it's sent back to the creamery. The expired milk is then repasturized, mixed with some fresh milk, and chocolate flavor added to cover the possible "off" flavor from the expired milk. Then bottled and shipped for sale. I have this info directly from a former Dairylea processing chemist, so it is not urban legend. I emphsize that the milk is NOT spoiled or unsafe. But I always wonder how many of the Pennsic ambrosia enthusiasts have reached to the back of the milk cooler in the store because the bottles in the front were too close to the "sell by" date (I know I have, but I don't like chocolate milk). I know this won't deter any of the addicted. I just wanted to tell why I'll always have a wry grin on my face whenever I hear folk sing the praises for chocolate milk.

This story brings me back many years, to when my lord Lodin and I were in England in the 80s. We went to watch the jousting at Beauvoir Castle. We still have a great video of it. You know, one of those ancient ones filmed with a big fat video camera. And we visited Warwick Castle also, and many other British castles. This was way before we joined the SCA.

I think this may be true for Dairylea or some of the larger companies- but I would posit that what makes the Pennsic milk so good was that it was using whole milk (not 2% like you normally find in the grocery stores) and was not using the "recycled" milk. -george From bataarsogdo at hotmail.com Thu May 22 09:33:54 2008 From: bataarsogdo at hotmail.com (ron kummer) Date: Thu, 22 May 2008 09:33:54 -0400 Subject: [SCA-AE] Choc.

I grew up on a dairy farm, drinking raw milk drawn directly from the bulk tank (and before that, the milk cans). My older sister still sometimes shakes the milk jug from the habit that dates back to the unhomogonized milk we had. In a two quart jar, there would be an inch or two of separated cream on the top. No company would market a product with that high of cream content. Milk after the "sell by" date is sent back to the creameries for reprocessing. Some is used in making of cheese, sour cream, etc., some is used to make chocolate milk. This practice is economically necessary, because the alternatives are much less profitable (including discarding the product). Again I emphasize that the product is not spoiled or yucky. I just personally find amusement in the irony. I concede that I don't know for a fact that Fisher processed their chocolate milk that way, but from an economic viewpoint it is likely that they did. I contend that what made the Pennsic milk so popular was the combination of Fisher's recipe and that it was ***Pennsic Chocolate Milk (tm)***. It was part of the experience, and the nostalgia and anticipation all mixed in. Just like how I can never get chinese food that tastes just like that at "Delights of Cathay." I'd be interested in how many people have brought the chocolate milk home to be tasted by non-scadian friends only to get a reaction like "It's good, but not as good as you're always going on about." That's the reaction I had too, but then I've never been a fan of the product. Tigranes ----- Original Message ----- From: "georg" To: Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 8:32 AM Subject: Re: [SCA-AE] Choc.

The Fishers' raw milk venture was separate. I don't know what breed of cows they had, but our milk currently comes from Jerseys and if I leave it to separate, it's roughly 1/3 cream. We have in the past gotten from brown swiss and that was somewhat less, maybe 1/4 at the most. Holsteins are I think the most common breed of dairy cow, and they have a notoriously low milkfat output (but higher overall output, which is what makes them so popular I guess). I'm very amused by the copycat recipes going around that say that you have to add about a pint of heavy cream to a gallon of whole storebought milk to get the correct consistency. Holy cow! Enn.

Yup. Both suppliers that I have bought from have been licensed. One bottled and shipped to health food stores, and the current one we pick up at the farm. Though I think the state is trying to squeeze everyone out of business, from the sounds of things. In the last few years they have increased requirements above and beyond the call of duty. It's already pretty restrictive (they can sell milk and cheese, but not butter or yogurt, which is really annoying because I'm terrible at making butter and yogurt). I'll be really annoyed if we have to resort to cow share like so many other states do.

Replies and questions are sent to discussion at aethelmearc.org or directly to the person making the announcement. ________________________________________________________________________ Hi Gang; I have made the following decision: Because of the dramatic change in the equestrian rules I am going to require that all riders re-authorize. Several Kingdoms are already doing this because the rules and the way events are run have so dramatically changed. The only persons who do not have to reauthorize are Equestrian Marshals since they are up-to-date on the changes and will be the ones conducting the re-authorization process. Those of you who are all ready authorized will not have to do a riding part of the authorization unless you want to do so. However, you will be required to fill out a new authorization form and answer a few questions about: What are your responsibilities as riders and horse owners? What are the Marshals' duties in regards to event/arena safety and how will these affect you? What is the correct response if the Marshal informs you that you or your horse is having a problem in the arena? What happens after a subsequent warning? What constitutes a designated equestrian area? Who may enter this area? The answers to all these questions are in the new rules book found on the AE Eq website. You will not be asked questions about specific games or equipment requirements for those games unless you are doing a crest, jousting, mounted combat, mounted archery, or other special authorization. Except for crests, only specially assigned marshals or the DKEO or myself may sign off on specials authorizations. The riders who qualify for this type of authorization are those riders currently listed on the Aethelmearc Equestrian web-site. All others must do a full riding authorization in front of a qualified Aethelmearc Eq Marshal and be able to answer the above questions. Full riding authorizations must be done at official events ( i.e. horse events where the insurance has been activated - be they demos, events, parades, practices, etc.) Authorizations for previously authorized riders may be conducted at any time. If you do not have access to an equestrian marshal in your area please e-mail me so I can arrange for your re-authorization. Those of you who have previously authorized have until August 1 to up-date your authorizations. After July 1 you will be dropped from the data-base and will have to authorize as a new rider.

Friday evening in the Royal Encampment. Their Majesties summoned THLady Constance Waite, and then invited those member of the Order of the Pelican to witness as They issued a writ for her to appear before Them the following evening and accept elevation to their illustrious rank. Saturday evening in the Great Ger. Their Majesties invited the Crowns of the East, Conrad and Brenwen to join Them. Gifts and well wishes were exchanged. Traditional tokens of safe passage were provided to His Excellency, Baron Quinn of St Swithin's Bog in exchange for his promise to bring his fighting units to the battle fields of Pennsic War. Kingdom Chirurgeon, Robert Marsden came before the court to relinquish his office into the capable hands of his successor Constance Glyn Dwr, who swore her oath of service to AEthelmearc and Their Majesties. THLady Catrin Skynith and Lady Elsbeth MacDonald both of the Kingdom of Meridies, presented Her Majesty with a hound of Her own, and jars of Meridien honey for Their Majesties AEthelmearc, Their Majesties East and Their Highnesses AEthelmearc. Her Majesty thanked the sweet Ladies for traveling so far to teach about hound coursing. Lady Ismay Ponde presented a gift to Their Majesties that she had acquired in her travels to the Far East, a hand embroidered bed quilt from Korea. Count Jehan de la Marche swore his oath of fealty to the Crown and Kingdom in both Latin and the "vulgar" tongue. Layla of Griffin's Keep was awarded the Silver Alce for being the first girl to have achieved the rank of Junior Grand Master Bowman (scroll by Gwilym o'r Tair Afon). Catalina Iannarella d'Colliano was Awarded Arms for her unceasing promotion of the arts and assisting with youth activities (scroll by Isabella Montoya). Lady Catriona MacKinnon received the Order of the Cornelian for her outstanding courtesy and chatelaine service (scroll illum Rota Egilsdottir, calig Bjorn Bunhaus Olafsson). Mistress Kris Gilibari was awarded the Order of the Golden Alce for her deadly skill at fencing (scroll and hand painted fan by Marija Kotok). Lord Vigo da Napoli was styled a member of the Order of the Golden Alce for his dedication to fencing and persona expression (scroll by Isabella Montoya). Baroness Aleea Baga was presented with the completed scroll commemorating her recognition as a Baroness of the Court (scroll by Daedez Khan of the Great Dark Horde Moritu). Master Charles of Alden was recognized for his achievement of Huntsmen status on the Thrown Weapons range (scroll by Maria Christina de Cordoba). Kingdom Archery Champion, Baron Caleb Reynolds announced as how he had been given other responsibilities by the Crown, he could no longer hold the title of Champion as well. He explained that he had held an archery tournament that day to determine who could best protect AEthelmearc should it be invaded by little blue Picts(ies). The winner and new Kingdom Champion, Lord Constantine Blackhart, was honored to accept the accoutrements of his office and took his place in Their Majesties retinue (scrolls by Morwenna Everdon & illum Rota Egilsdottir, calig Bjorn Bunhaus Olafsson). Kingdom Thrown Weapons Champion, Lady Morwenna Everdon, having served her term also held a tournament to choose a new Champion, and passed on the duties and regalia to the winner, Lord Antonio de Luna (scroll by Anlaith ingen Trena). Baron Fridrikr Tomasson av Knusslig Hamn presented himself to Their Majesties to air a grievance on behalf of his kinswoman and request that it be corrected forthwith. He held that it was past time for her to be released from fosterage and be recognized with rank equal to her Master. Master Emerys Eustace, hight Broom, was called forth to answer these charges and defend his keeping of the Lady in servitude to his house. He allowed as how she was like a loaf of bread that must be allowed to sit awhile before baking, and that she had not yet "risen" ?whereupon THLady Hrefna in heppna began to rise from her seat and the Court did witness her Master, most forcefully, command her to *sit down*! Such arguments continued as Master Broom proclaimed that he did not recognize that Master Fridrikr should have any authority to make such a determination about a servant of his household. His Majesty then inquired if he recognized *Their* authority to make such determination, and Master Broom did quickly doff his cap and bow to the Crown. Their Majesties proclaimed that They would judge this matter Themselves and called forth Hrefna in heppna Thorgrimsdottir, issuing her such writ as to command that she present herself at Their Court at AEcaedmy and to provide no more than 12 witnesses in her defense. Should she fail to appear the consequences would be most dire. Their Majesties called for those members of the most noble Order of the Laurel present to remove the defendant and provide her with wise council prior to the appointed hour of judgment (scroll words by Fridrikr Tomasson av Knusslig Hamn, calig. Antoinette de la Croix). Mistress Graidhne ni Ruaidh came before the Court to conduct business and beg a boon. Their Majesties had previously sent her prot?g? to sit vigil, that having been concluded, Mistress Graidhne requested the return of her belt. THLady Constance Waite was escorted into court and did return such property. Graidhne then asked Their Majesties to do as They intended and elevate her Ladyship to the Peerage. Their Majesties called those who would speak to the candidate's worth: for the Laurels, Baron Karl von Elfstein; for the Chivalry, Sir Isenwulf Thorolfssone; on behalf of the Royal Peers, Countess Caryl Oledatter; and for the Order of Pelicans, Master Kyriell Hawkmoon. All attested to her kind welcoming smile, her diligence and generosity of service. Thus satisfied, Their Majesties called for a mantle to cover her shoulders, presented by Gabriella d'Asti. The ancestral medallion came from Master Egil the Dane by way of Dennys the Decadent. An additional medallion to adorn her person was provided by Kyriell. Dame Constance, Mistress of the Pelican swore her oath of service to Crown and Kingdom upon the great Sword of State (scroll by Aibell Suil-uaine). Their Majesties thanked all those who withstood the elements to attend the practices upon the field, and all those who worked behind the scenes to make the event happen. Court was closed.

During a summer that I spent with my aunt in upstate?New York, I was?given the opportunity (?) to work at a farm owned by the Hershey?family. Each day when we milked the cows, there?were 2 trucks that would be sent off. 1 to the Chocolate bottling plant, and one?for the regular/white milk?bottling plant. They kept them separate at the time to cut down on the potential for contamination between white?and chocolate milk due to the poor unfortunate souls who can not "do chocolate". At no time during that summer did the conversation ever come up about having to add "good milk" in to cover the bad taste of old milk. This sounds to me like the wives?tales about how they used to have such heavily spiced meats so that they could hide the taste of the rotten meat being served at the high table. ?--Eirik ________________________________ Herre Eirik Haarfager Goransson / Rob Baldassano Member, Barony of Endless Hills; Marshal - at Large & Deputy Baronial Marshal; House Odlahorde; Viking & All around Good Egg ; VROC #5029 (Tigger) come visit http://www.dracowolf.com ---------------------------- Come see our online store, now available at: http://shop.dracowolf.com =============== Check out this cool Medieval era game --> http://www.tribalwars.net/2040463.html ----- Original Message ---- From: Rachael Spryn To: discussion at aethelmearc.org Sent: Friday, May 23, 2008 11:23:09 PM Subject: [SCA-AE] Choc.

Just because a bottle has gone beyond its "sell by" date does not mean it is spoiled, or that it must be discarded. It just means the contents of THAT bottle may not be sold without further processing. One of the ways that milk can be reprocessed is to repasteurized, blend with fresh milk, and add the flavoring and sweetener for chocolate milk. There are many other directions the "old" milk may be reprocessed and marketed. This is information from a man who used to work in a commercial dairy processing facility. There is nothing sinister, illegal, or (IMO) all that unpallatable about it. It's just the way they do business. And considering the economic practicallities, it's safe to assume that the practice is not isolated to the brand that my friend worked for. I also conceded that I did not know for fact that Fisher's milk was processed in that way. I stand by my contention that a big part of the PCM (Pennsic Chocolate Milk) mystique is that it is all wrapped up in the pleasant experience so many of us look forward to each year. I suspect that if one was to have access to the product year round, it would become more mundane (pardon the term) for most folks. I do apoligise to the list for opening such a can of worms. I didn't anticipate causing such a controversy. I'll drop the subject now, as nothing more will be gained by further debate.

It pleases me to announce that under the capable hands of Master Christofano Vecchione, the Kingdom A&S Website has undergone a major redesign. There are a number of changes, including: A new look; the navigation links are now in a bar at the top of the page, there is a section with information about what has changed, and the design has been devised with the intention of being expanded upon without having to make major changes. This provides the ability to deliver more to the Kingdom A&S community in an expedient fashion. An Artisan/Scientist of the Month feature; This feature will begin in June 2008. This is to highlight artists and scientists all over the Kingdom. The criterion for being nominated for Artisan/Scientist of the Month is: To be doing an art or science in the Kingdom of ?thelmearc, and to be nominated by someone for Artisan/Scientist of the Month by sending a nomination to me, Odriana vander Brugghe (jenn.strobel at gmail.com), and including the following information: 1. SCA Name of the person making the nomination 2. SCA Name of the Nominee 3. Local Group of the Nominee 4. Area of specialty 5. Information about the nominee (a paragraph describing what they do) The most exciting change is that we are building a listing of Artisans and Scientists that will be sorted by Name as well as by Interest, called the "Rolls of ?thelmearc Artists and Scientists". This listing is open to every citizen of ?thelmearc, regardless of award and level of skill. This listing is to make it easier for people of similar interests to find each other, to use as a resource for classes, and as a means by which to get to know each other and our work better. If you choose to participate, please send the following information to our webminister (webmaster at aeans.org): 1. Your Name 2. Your Local Group 3. Your Website (if applicable) 4. Your Contact information 5. A picture. If you have one. We can take one of you as well, just let us know you'd like us to do that and we will make arrangements. 6. A one or two paragraph bio about YOU, not your persona. Where you learned what you learned. What your focused area of interest is. 7. A list of your fields of interest. This is not necessary just the fields you feel are your expertise but all fields you are interested in and would like to share. I leave it up to you for which fields you feel should be placed included. 8. Permission to use your email address on the Kingdom A&S website. The Kingdom A&S Ministry is making changes to better serve the Kingdom A&S community. If you have thoughts on how the Kingdom A&S Ministry can better serve you, please contact the Kingdom A&S Minister, Mistress Elisabeth (ae.ans at aethelmearc.org), or the Deputy Kingdom A&S Minister, Odriana vander Brugghe (deputy at aeans.org).

Bringing that to a total of 29 throwers in Region 5 with a score. (Let me also point out that Myrkfaelinn has 14 of those throwers and is only the size of a shire.) Statistically that means we have a really good shot of one of us winning the most improved. That is unless more throwers get out there!! So to add to the prize pot I will offer a prize to any region that can get more throwers(with at least 3 scores) than region 5. So everyone give thrown weapons a try. Its a blast!!!

It is about 3-4 miles east of Laceyville/Skinners Eddy and 1 1/2 miles west of Meshoppen on Route 6. Waaaay country. If you're coming from the east...route 81, the PA turnpike, Scranton area... then you will be coming west on route 6. After Scranton and Clark Summit the biggest town you go through (or take the bypass around) is Tunkhannock. About 10 miles of country later you come down a hill into the VERY STRICTLY radar-ed 35 mph speed limit town of Meshoppen ...you can't miss it. The first turn is really close to 1 1/2 miles west from the blinker light in the middle of Meshoppen, and its on the left hand side. You can't miss it, it's the only blacktop road to the left before you pass the fairground front gates half a mile farther up the road.(can't get in the front gates...if you see them, turn around). I think there's a sign for the cemetery at this turn too. That blacktop goes past a cemetery, a couple houses, and does some dips for about 1/2 - 3/4 mile before your turn onto a dirt road to your right. This road bears right, up the slope, while the hardtop curves left and goes down to the railroad tracks and then to the river. If you see the river, turn around ;) If you're coming east on route 6 you'll go through Laceyville and then no towns until you see the fairgrounds off to the right as you come down a hill from a cut in the hills. Can't miss it. (Nothing else there!) You can't get in the front gates that are beside route 6. Just keep on going for about a quarter or half mile and you see the sharp right turn onto that blacktop road. No sweat. We'll have the SCA signboards out. If you get truly lost, you can stop anywhere and ask where the Wyoming County Fairground is.... it's 'the biggest game in town'. I will try to have my cell phone charged up (570)499-9924.
