Subject: [SCA-BMDL] CMU activities fair?
Message-ID: <50713.209.195.147.252.1220326328.squirrel@webmail.nauticom.net>

Greetings from Myfanwy!
I haven't really heard anything more about the CMU activities fair on
Wednesday.  I'm still willing to show up if it's actually happening, but
AFAIK I'm the only one (and I'm *not* a Cour d'Or person, nor am I on the
Cour d'Or mailing list).
I will try to make it down there with the spinning wheel, if it sounds
like it's actually happening and there will be people there to get the
table and such.  Wednesday is really hectic for me, and I will be on the
go much of the day -- if the demo is actually happening I will make sure I
have stuff with me in the car the whole day (I've got a meeting Downtown
with an attorney in the morning, and then have to duck out of there in
time to get to physical therapy in the North Hills by 12:45).
The demo is in two days, so I really need to know something by tomorrow
night at the latest.

I guess that's my cue..

Hi everyone, I am Sir Dmitriy, just moved here from the West to attend
grad school at CMU.  I officially reserved a table for SCA at the
activity fair (technically it's for student groups only, so only
current students can register).  The catch is that I have lectures
until 5, so I can't be there to check in -- someone else will need to
do that between 3:30 and 4:45.  I haven't heard yet if anyone has
volunteered to do this, or who's organizing the demo, etc.  There will
be limited room there, just a table (which we might have to share). So
no fighting/fencing/dancing.

If someone is in charge of putting things like that together, let me
know how I can help. I've sent the detailed instructions from the
university regarding checking in, etc, to Her Excellency Ariella, let
me know if they need to go out to a wider list.

Since I'm relatively new to the SCA, I figure it wasn't my place to respond to these questions. 

What does everyone think?

And to reply to an earlier post (I know it's a bit late replying, I've been pretty busy recently), the CMU Activities Fair is still going on tomorrow.  Here's all the relevant information:

Hey Spencer,

I've come across a couple of things which I thought SCA  club might be
interested in but wanted to run them by you to see if you agreed. The
first is a project I am working on with the Posner Center where I am
recording people reading 16 of Shakespeare's Sonnets. The reason I
think SCA might be interested is that my project has opportunities for
historical performance with relatively little commitment (about 3
hours and non memorization).

The second is a project I am almost certain SCA would be interested
in, and that is the Madrigal Dinner on December 6. I spoke with Anne
Witchner (the organizer) today and she was very interested in SCA
doing some demonstrations, whether of sword play, courtly manners or
whatnot. It's also a fun end to the school year and a great event.

What do you think?

Jessica

This would be a good demo opportunity.  The date is a Saturday and the online AEthelmearc calendar shows nothing other than a Yule event in Delftwood.  Can we get more information on the Dinner?

Sir Dmitriy, one of your emails to us probably bounced since we never got 
detailed instructions on checking in.  The CMU activities fair, though we 
recognize it's great importance, has not traditionally been something us 
working folk can attend.  I'm cc'ing myself and Byron about this since he is 
off at 3pm today (we just found this out yesterday - he's working the early 
shift), but he's already at work with no garb etc.  If you can contribute 
any time (such as walk over and pull up the local website or SCA website on 
your laptop assuming CMU campus has wireless), it would be wonderful.  If 
there's a limited check-in that you miss and Byron can't do it, then that's 
okay.
Thank you,
Ariella

Here's the info I have:

Dear Dmitriy

I am happy to inform you that your organization, Society for Creative
Anachronism,
has been approved for a space at the Fall Activities Fair, September
3, 2008 from
4:30pm to 6:30pm on CFA Lawn (Rain location: Wiegand Gym, UC).

Please check-in early (as early as 3:30 pm) for the Activities Fair at
the Student
Activities table, which will be marked with balloons. Your
organization will receive
instruction and the table assignment at the check-in table.  If your
organization
has not checked in by 4:45p.m., your table may be forfeited and given to an
organization on the waiting list.

I would like to remind you that you will not have access to electrical
outlets and
you may not bring a generator.  If you choose to bring a
battery-operated stereo, we
ask that the volume not interfere with the conversations happening at
neighboring
tables.

Please review the Activities Fair website at
http://www.cmu.edu/studentactivities/ActivitiesFair/ to review
expectations and tips
on how to have a successful Activities Fair.  If you noted a request to be near
another organization, we will do our best to match groups' requests.  If you are
willing to split a table, please inform me as soon as possible.  Our
office would

I have a two-part meeting here at work (I work for the Parallel Data
Lab in the CIC), but I should be able to be up there for a brief
period, though in mundane clothes.  At least until I have to get on
the bus to go home.

Greetings to all in our fair Barony!  Darter has posted his photos of BMDL's reception on his site: http://www.pbase.com/darter02/p37b and they are his typical wonderful work (though he stuck with black and white).  The Baronial and Kingdom court, including Raven's elevation, are well documented.  Enjoy!

hmmmm.  couple things occur to me as a read this. and yes i know the demo is
over - i don't get to email every day...

1) this is a student demo. shouldn't students be at the table?

2) if we don't have enuf students from CMU to do the demo, do we have
students from PITT who could come up and do it? pitch it as a joint venture?

3) as someone who spent @20 years as a college student, i'm not sure that a
bunch of middle age people would attract students. for example the response
might be something like:  "look at that club! they look like my mom & dad!
i'm not interested in hanging out with old people!"  perhaps we should try
and people the table with folks who are at least CLOSE to college age?

4) have we attracted and kept anyone from these demos in recent years? not
saying we shouldn't try mind you, just wondering on the stats...

5) if we don't make attracting students one of our priorities, then we need
to attract other people from somewhere else, lest we die as an organization,
no?

6) are we a die-ing organization? (and yes, i know we are a dye-ing
organization ;)

this is just the thought processes that were spawned from reading about
student demos....

I'm not quite that old, and even a student :-)

We had a decent response -- collected a couple dozen emails.  From my
prior college recruting experience, that nets about 4-5 people who
show up to a meeting, 2-3 who show up to more than one, and 1 or maybe
2 who actually stick around for a while (*raises hand...*).

A few of the folks we talked to went to events or had friends who did
back in their hometown and/or undergrad school, so those have a
slightly better retention rate.

Please can we do this differently this year?

We have a lot of officers and guilds.  I think we've been overwhelming,
or boring, most of the new people who show up at our September
meetings.  Our recruitment hasn't been very good; let's ask
ourselves why that might be.

No college student (our primary target at this meeting) is interested
in heraldic commenting meetings, children's activities, and getting (or 
writing people in for) awards.  None will be interested *at the first 
meeting* in becoming chirurgeons, running lists, writing articles for
the newsletter, and so on.  (Yes, we have newcomers to the barony who

I like She'erah's ideas.  Some are already taken care of (e.g. we do not 
have a Chancellor Minor to talk about kids' activities) but it is a good 
idea not to clutter the announcements with calls for anyone interested in 
being the Barony MOL, for example.
Helewys, do you have some flyers (and electronic advertising) that can be 
used this coming week to publicize the meeting?  We had talked about that 
last year and getting more newcomers there would be important.
In Service,
Ariella

I didn't mean to imply that no one should make announcements; this
is a business meeting too.  But there's a big difference between
"the MOL is calling for a successor" and "I'm going to spend the next
3-5 minutes telling you what an MOL does".  And, just to be clear, I
picked MOL out of a hat; I'm not talking about any individual officer
here.

If we can pick just a few offices/guilds to focus on, the ones that
will be most of interest to newcomers, and get through the routine
business as efficiently as possible, I think we'll all win.

I agree with She'erah's suggestion.

In the past, a slide show of baronial activities was sometimes shown after the business part of the meeting.  Would it be possible to arrange for a laptop and maybe have someone run through Darter's web page of Pennsic photos for 10 minutes or so?  My schedule will not permit me to create something to bring this month.  I would be happy to put something together for October if desired.

Could flyers and maybe a ride coordinator for Archers to the Wald, scheduled for Sept. 27, be handed out?

I will bring or send some costuming books and invite people to look at them after meeting.  If established costumers are willing to attend, we can have a weekend sewing circle on campus, maybe Sunday September 28th or Saturday October 4 - whichever the attending newcomers would prefer.

I agree with She'erah.  Last year, you could watch the newcomers' eyes glaze over and see them start to fidget 20 minutes in. Each newcomer is probably interested in one, maybe two activities to start. Yet, the way the meeting was run, we bored them with information they aren't interested in.  Since we're in Porter 100, maybe we could list the active guilds and practices on the board along with contact info and other relevant info. Something like:
Fencing Practice - Sundays, Washington Blvd. Rides and loaner equipment available Call  Charles at #
etc.
And then say something at during that meeting like "The contacts or their representatives  will be in front of the hall after the meeting for newcomers to talk to."

That way newcomers can focus in what they are interested in now without being subjected to 40 minutes of information that doesn't matter to them.

And as Ts'vee'a pointed out there is an event in three weeks, we should focus on that as upcoming activity that people would be interested.  It's something active and fun.  We're dealing with college students, primarily freshman who are probably overwhelmed with the amount of school work they are facing.  They are looking for a fun activity to help de-stress.  A group that is focusing on research and more book-work will be a turn off.  To get them hooked, we need to focus on the social activities we offer.  If we do that, then the research interests will come later.

I propose that we have a demo of sorts on Wednesday evening and
actually entertain folks instead of boring them.

Short (5 - 10 minutes) demonstrations of some of our more popular
social activities.

We could have a fencing and heavy demonstration, a short simple
English Country dance, a short performance by the choir or ii Genesii.
We could also set up a table or two for A&S display, in the middle of
the hall as folks walk in so that it can be seen right away, get them
hooked when they walk in the door! Guilds and other activities can be
represented on the A&S table, so that if someone is interested in
something we can point them in the right direction.

Unfortunately, I don't have time between now and next Wednesday to
make flyers and post them up. Clemente and I are celebrating our 8th
anniversary this weekend and the beginning of my week (Monday and
Tuesday) are quite full with work and other things. If anyone is
willing to do this, please let me know. I have a budget for
photocopies so it doesn't have to be out of your pocket either.

Don't look at the time stamp either, I can't sleep right now.

The Debatable Choir has frequently performed a song at September Barony meeting. We could probably do that again if people think it would be appropriate.

You want to see what the SCA looked like in 1968???

the Link is:  http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Baycon/w68-p00.html

This is from Baycon- a science fiction event in 1968- the link came 
through the Middle Bridge.

Look at items 8 and 9 on the list- but you might want to look at the 
other pictures- like what Harlan Ellison looked like before getting his 
Hugo award.
( Note for bibliophiles- 'The Glass Teat' by Harlan Ellison is one of 
the best books to read about late 60's culture)

We might need to check with student council to make sure that we don't need pre-approval of flyers.? I know at my college you needed approval prior to posting or the group would get in trouble.?

I could post flyers at Carnegie Mellon on Monday, if someone else could make them (I wouldn't really know what to put on them).? You could email them to me, and I'll print and poster.

I like She'erah's ideas.  Some are already taken care of (e.g. we do not

have a Chancellor Minor to talk about kids' activities) but it is a good 
idea not to clutter the announcements with calls for anyone interested in 
being the Barony MOL, for example.
Helewys, do you have some flyers (and electronic advertising) that can be 
used this coming week to publicize the meeting?  We had talked about that 
last year and getting more newcomers there would be important.
In Service,
Ariella

Here's the poster policy -
<http://www.studentaffairs.cmu.edu/StudentActivities/info/soh/policies/poster.html>

Posters don't have to be preapprived, but do have to follow the policy
regarding where they are posted (and some content if the organization is
fully funded by student activities fees, which we are not).

It's a sad month for good beer in Pittsburgh: John Harvard's Brew
House in Monroeville has closed after 13 years in business.

Genevieve and I found out the hard way: we tried to go there this
evening for dinner, after successfully going there last week.

At least The Church is still open.

The place mentioned in the article: Rivertowne Pour House is quite good, 
if a bit loud. I don't know about their beers as I can no longer drink.

Greetings from Myfanwy!
I never went to that one, but had been to the one in Framingham, MA
--ironically, we thought the food was generally better than the beer,
although some of their seasonal stuff was interesting.
Also went one time to their original location with the Carolingian
Jongleurs, after our annual "get your busker's license so we can go sing
medieval Christmas carols in the Harvard T station, and then go get hot
chocolate with the money we make".  Two things happened.  The first was
that they didn't normally *serve* hot chocolate (which made ordering
interesting).  The second was that they had a band the night we were
there, who were really annoyed with us for singing in the corner booth
while we were on break -- mostly, IIRC, because we were better than they
were and got more positive feedback from the rest of the patrons! :-)

In addition, there are a few new trainees on the  horizon. More to come. 

Youth combat practice will again be at Washington  Blvd this Sunday.

Message-ID: <52089A4ABE370D40827316ADBC1F0FC59E58DC@E2K3MAIL1514.mellonbank.com>

I was gifted a wonderful book, "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron quite
a while ago and have finally made the time to go through it.  The book
is a series of exercises to build up the inner Artist and to maximize
your creativity.  Since nearly everything is more fun with company, I
wanted to see if anyone was interested in being part of an Artist's Way
"Creative Cluster" and doing the exercises together.

We can use my book for this so everyone doesn't have to run out and buy
it.

Right now I don't have a place/time, but was considering doing this
somewhere on the East End, probably the Borders in Penn Circle.  Once I
have an idea of who is interested in participating, we can work together
to find the best time/day/place.

Please send email to jenn.strobel(at)gmail(dot)com to express your
interest or to ask any questions.

I would like to have our first meeting before Halloween, so please
contact me before September 26th (next Friday).

Warm regards,

Odriana vander Brugghe

Hi,

I just got a sale flier from ITEX.  They have Sunforger Marine on sale for $3.50/yd or $3.75 w/fireproofing.  The prices are only about $0.50 lower then normal. But they have bolts that are under 100 yds (which is their normal bolt size/min order).   Bob is a great to work with.  If you tell him how much you need, he'll find the closest bolt for you.    They only have about 130yds of non-fireproof left, but 1300 of the one with fireproofing.  

His contact info is:
800.525-7058 x203  (he's in MDT, so keep that in mind when you call)
bshaver_at_banwear.com

ITEX charges actual shipping. In fact, you'll have two separate changes, one from ITEX and one from UPS.  

Feel free to forward to other lists.

Greetings,
 If anyone is in need of a commercial-size gas convection oven, and wants one for free, there is a used one at Penn Brewery that will be scrapped unless someone wants it.  If interested, please let me know BEFORE FRIDAY, Sept 19th.  If it has not been claimed _before_ Friday (IE, Thursday at the latest) it will be taken to be scrapped.  A picture of a similar oven (although not the exact model) can be found here: http://www.acitydiscount.com/US-Range-Commercial-Convection-Oven-Electric-NSF-SunFire-ICO-E-10-M.0.46738.1.1.htm

You can reach me at wcanne at comcast dot net if interested.  Again, it is free.  It is not the prettiest, but it works.  The issues with it are: the gas/heat will not shut off when you open the door, the bottom floor has a hole in it, and the gas line will need a regulator.

>From the Captain of Archers,

Some announcements concerning upcoming archery practices...

Archery practice is cancelled on September 28th and October 12th.

The latter is the day following Steltonwald's Archers to the Wald and we should all be there instead,

The former is the last day of Harvest Raid and all your marshalls will still be in Heronter.

The other Sunday's should still be holding practices as usual.

Please watch the email list for further developments.

In service to the Barony-Marche,

Hi all

I'm waiting to hear back from this woman with more information before
I post her request to the list. I checked back through my emails and I
was not one of the 4 people she had originally contacted!

There's also another opportunity for a demo on Sat 27th with one of
our new members who was at the September Barony meeting. I'll post
those details once I get them too!

Cheers,
Helewys

Subject: [SCA-BMDL] Known World Cooks & Bards - official announcement
Message-ID: <20409180.1222133283138.JavaMail.root@elwamui-rubis.atl.sa.earthlink.net>

Greetings, all, from the autocrat and staff of the upcoming Fifth Known World Bardic Congress and Cooks Collegium!  Below are supplemental announcements related to the event.  We hope that you will forward this message far and wide, so that it will be of best service to all who may benefit.

MARK THE DATE!  November 7-10, 2008 at Crestfield Camp & Conference Center, Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania (15 minutes from Cooper's Lake).  Updated announcements and class listings will be posted on our web page, www.cooksandbards.aethelmearc.org.

RESERVATIONS.  There is still ample cabin and feast space available, and we will continue to accept pre-registrations (based on postmark) until October 31.  See the event web page for details.

CALL FOR TEACHERS.  We still have room for additional classes.  Even if you are not yet sure that you want to offer a class, let us know what you might like to teach, and also let us know of any help you might need to make it possible (e.g.,
co-teachers, equipment, a kitchen or propane stove).  Also, feel free to suggest that class that you always wanted to take!

ALTERNATIVE ACCOMMODATIONS.  The event does not permit tent camping, and the township does not permit sleeping in vehicles, but if you are unable to afford cabin spaces and would like to attend the event, let us know and we will try to find you crash space near the site.  Please specify the number of crashers, smoking preference and any pet allergies.  If you require handicapped accommodations on site, we ask that you send us your reservation early so that we may guarantee appropriate arrangements.

CABINS/BATHROOMS.  The brochure says that the cabins will have bathrooms.  Unfortunately, we recently learned that the site did not get the funding they expected, and they never installed them.  The good news is, each cluster of three cabins has its own heated bathhouse (with sinks, showers and plenty of flushies!) within a stone's throw.  The bunk beds in the cabins have unsheeted mattresses, but you will need to bring pillows, blankets and any additional bedding necessary for your comfort.

ALCOHOL.  The site will be "discreetly damp."  Period containers, no kegs, and we request that you pack your empties.  Common sense applies, please: becoming drunk and disorderly will be cause for removal from the site.

MERCHANTS.  Merchants are welcome at Cooks & Bards at no extra fee!   Please contact our merchant liaison at kwcb-merchants at andrew-dot-cmu-dot-edu.  Non-merchants with items to sell are welcome to do so informally, and a table will be provided where you may place a sample of your wares (at your own risk) along with personal
information (such as a photo) that will enable your customers to identify you on site.

PROCEEDINGS.  Even if you do not intend to teach, consider submitting articles, recipes or stand-alone class handouts for inclusion in the event proceedings, to kwcb-proceedings at andrew-dot-cmu-dot-edu.

QUESTIONS.  Ask 'em!  We aim to please.  kwcb-info at andrew-dot-cmu-dot-edu.

JOIN US!  And let the fun begin.

Greetings, folks!

I've received a request for loaner garb at this weekend's event, which I will not be attending myself.  Are any of my nearby-ish neighbors planning to attend and willing to 1) take loaner garb to the event and 2) collect said garb at the end of the day?

Thanks,

Balanced Heart Healing Center Fundraiser Fair:
Balanced Heart Healing Center? is a group of mental health
professionals, energy workers, massage and art therapists, Reiki
practitioners, acupuncturists, pharmacists/herbalists, nutritionists,
nurses, ministers, and other holistic practitioners who have joined
forces. Each of us is donating a portion of our private practice time
to support the 501(c)(3) non-profit BHHC, which provides holistic
healing services to all people unconditionally, regardless of income
or insurance status. We accept health insurance for some services.
Those who are without insurance or are under-insured make an Offering
from their Heart in payment for services.

Balanced Heart Healing Center is working towards licensure as PA's
first holistic mental health clinic, and we are delighted to have the
support of PA Sen. Jane Orie and DPW Secretary Estelle Richman in this
effort.

In order to raise start-up capital for our launch, Balanced Heart
Healing Center is holding an outdoor Fundraiser Fair, on Saturday,
October 11, 2008, from 9 AM to 4:00 PM on the beautiful grounds of our
new office in 30 Warrendale Bayne Rd, Warrendale, PA. Ticket prices
are: Adults $10, Ages 13-18 $5, and children 12 and under are free.

This fun-filled, multi-faceted day will include the live music of Life
in Balance and other local talent, Glimmer Dot the Clown,
face-painting, balloon shaping, Moonwalk from Boomerang Entertainment,
Silent Auctions, a Chinese Raffle, a community yard sale, a Balanced
Heart Healing Center info booth, Greeting Card Making with
"Stampin'Up, Inc., food booths and other vendors, a ground blessing
ceremony, and hopefully the SCA (your group!) along with some other
wonderful surprises! You just never know who will show up! Come join
the fun!

We are looking for good-hearted folk who want to donate their time,
talents, treasures, and/or dollars to support the service that
Balanced Heart Healing Center is offering in the greater Pittsburgh
region. Also, help us furnish our new offices by donating desks,
tables, chairs, couches, wall art, and other items in good condition
for our use and for our community yard sale. We are also accepting
gift certificates and other items for our Silent Auction and Chinese
Raffle.

Vendors are welcome! You may rent 8' tables from us for $25 each, or
bring your own table for $10 per 8' space. 10% of your proceeds goes
to benefit BHHC. Call Regina Rivers at 412.486.3880 or Kathy
Evans-Palmisano at 412.298.2016, to add your name, donation, and/or
service to our list.

Please pass the word. We see many hands and hearts coming together to
create BHHC. This includes yours! May your hearts be blessed in ways
yet to be known!

Posted with permission from Dicea, Squire to Sir Morguhn Sheridan; 'Last night and those parts of today when I was not actually driving, I've been responding to the emails that have come in response to our news announcements. Mostly, I would get a response out and return to my inbox to find two more added to the queue, waiting patiently, their little hands folded behind their backs. As I got to each one, I would lift it up and set it down in my lap. I would ask it what its name was and who had sent it, and then we would chat quietly for a while, comforting each other. Then I would kiss it on its forehead and send it back from whence it came.There was not one that was rude or thoughtless or crass or mean. Each one was sweet and thoughtful and a joy to spend a little time with. I only wish I could have offered more for them to bring back to their writers. Those of you who have written have shared your moments of memory, your fear, your pain, your sorrow. You've been vulnerable with me and offered me so many good thoughts and kind prayers to pass along that I've worked out a database system so that I can share them with the family without burying them in a pile of printed pages. I am very deeply touched with the emotion, fortitude, and gentleness you've displayed. Many of you offered to help in any way you can. This is the the very root of why SCA folk as a whole are so very very lovable. Once one person starts arranging tables, hefting gear, or cooking feast, others are quick to join in and help. The only problem is that there is little to nothing that anyone can do right now. Please believe me, if I thought that mobilizing a private army and moving the pyramids three feet to the left would help, I'd have my Egyptian kilt and whip on in a second. What I am going to need is help in the coming months. An event that takes a split second to happen has consequences that stretch out for years. Words like 'paperwork' and 'lawyer' and 'fees' come into play long after the horror of the first moment ceases to be fresh in the mind.If you are willing to help in the long run, or if you may be able to help in specific situations, or if you have professional knowledge that you would be willing to share in certain areas, I would love to hear from you. I would like to create a private list of people on whom I can call in the next year for advice or for help for Their Graces. If this sounds like something you'd like to do, please email me at dicea.deme at gmail dot com. This would be a private list that would be used only in organizing volunteers and helpers for Meirwen and Rowan. If that is not something that you are able or willing to do, that is perfectly okay. Right now, the good thoughts, the kind words, and the strong prayers you are all offering up freely are the things that we need and benefit from most. You are all amazing, loving, wonderful people and I am in awe of your generosity and willingness to share in the pain of others. Thank you for being who you are, each of you. I am honored beyond words to have witnessed your love and admiration.''When an archer is shooting for nothing he has all his skill. If he shoots for a brass buckle he is already nervous. If he shoots for a prize of gold he goes blind or sees two targets - he is out of his mind. His skill has not changed. But the prize divides him. He cares.

As I got to each one, I would lift it up and set it down in my lap. I would ask it what its name was and who had sent it, and then we would chat quietly for a while, comforting each other. Then I would kiss it on its forehead and send it back from whence it came.There was not one that was rude or thoughtless or crass or mean. Each one was sweet and thoughtful and a joy to spend a little time with. I only wish I could have offered more for them to bring back to their writers. Those of you who have written have shared your moments of memory, your fear, your pain, your sorrow. You've been vulnerable with me and offered me so many good thoughts and kind prayers to pass along that I've worked out a database system so that I can share them with the family without burying them in a pile of printed pages. I am very deeply touched with the emotion, fortitude, and gentleness you've displayed. Many of you offered to help in any way you can. This is the the very root of why SCA folk as a whole are so very very lovable. Once one person starts arranging tables, hefting gear, or cooking feast, others are quick to join in and help. The only problem is that there is little to nothing that anyone can do right now. Please believe me, if I thought that mobilizing a private army and moving the pyramids three feet to the left would help, I'd have my Egyptian kilt and whip on in a second. What I am going to need is help in the coming months. An event that takes a split second to happen has consequences that stretch out for years. Words like 'paperwork' and 'lawyer' and 'fees' come into play long after the horror of the first moment ceases to be fresh in the mind.If you are willing to help in the long run, or if you may be able to help in specific situations, or if you have professional knowledge that you would be willing to share in certain areas, I would love to hear from you. I would like to create a private list of people on whom I can call in the next year for advice or for help for Their Graces. If this sounds like something you'd like to do, please email me at dicea.deme at gmail dot com. This would be a private list that would be used only in organizing volunteers and helpers for Meirwen and Rowan. If that is not something that you are able or willing to do, that is perfectly okay. Right now, the good thoughts, the kind words, and the strong prayers you are all offering up freely are the things that we need and benefit from most. You are all amazing, loving, wonderful people and I am in awe of your generosity and willingness to share in the pain of others. Thank you for being who you are, each of you. I am honored beyond words to have witnessed your love and admiration.
 
Dicea"

Food may be left there at any time starting at 1 PM and our sisters in Eastern Star will make sure it is taken care of until we can gather there.A full obituary will be posted tomorrow.There will be a SCA-centric gathering at a future date, but we have decided nothing at this time except that it will involve a food fight, absinthe, and joyful reminiscences of the man.'If you would like further information or to respond, feel free to email me at dicea.deme at gmail dot com.

Message-ID: <467340.56706.qm@web36405.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Greetings to all!
This coming weekend Sept. 27th marks the Archers to the Wald and though this grand event is primarily for archery there will be a Heavy Weapons Tourney with a grand prize.
His Grace, Duke Malcolm has offered an invitation to fight in his Tourney as the prize for the victor on the list at Archers.? His Excellency, Baron Byron has graciously offered to marshal.? 
I look forward to seeing my brothers and sisters at arms on the list.? I would also ask that on this day we take some time as well to remember fondly His Grace, Duke Morghun who has been taken from us.? Let us share our experiences over the years with his Grace.? I knew him only for a short few years but I count my life richer for it.? He will be missed.
As Always, In Service
Lord Gabriel Hawkes

Message-ID: <2ae6b4a90809271135k7546e4dbha9cd73f21aaa75a9@mail.gmail.com>

I have three bushels of apples in my kitchen.

I need help processing them and I miss seeing people, so I figured I'd
try the two birds/one stone method.

If people don't have plans already for tonight, you are invited to my
house in Hampton Township at 7:00 p.m. to assist with making a variety
of apple things. Some for Agincourt, some for personal consumption.

What you get out of the deal is some apple sauce to take home and/or
apple butter (which takes a day or so to make) at a later date. I will
make snacks and pie making is part of the plan, so we will need some
quality control :-)

Please give me a call at home (412.486.0566) or on the cell
(412.607.1461 - Ray's) to let me know that you're coming out.

	Archers to the Wald September 27 AS 43
Message-ID: <29c224fe0809281023pca0ed5bmfe377e34846473ef@mail.gmail.com>

The report of the Court of Their Excellencies Byron and Ariellam Baron
and Baroness of the Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands, court held
by the leave of His Majesty Christopher King of Aethelmearc at the
Archers to the Wald event in the Canton of Steltonwald on the 27th day
of September AS 43, THLord Brandubh O'Donnghaile reporting herald
Vocal assistance by Lord Pavel Dudoladov.

Their Excellencies opened court and invited her Ladyship Gianna di
Aurelio to attend them.  They thanked her for all her hard work as
Autocrat of the event, she in turn thanked all those who helped her
accomplish the fine event that it had turned out to be, from the Cooks
to the marshals, and all the other crews who helped to make the event.

His Excellency then addressed the populace, he said that there had
been a heavy weapons tournament that morning and that Lord Gabriel
Hawkes had proven the victor in that tournament.  His Excellency then
presented Gabriel with an invitation to the upcoming Amethyst
Tournament for his proven valor on the field.

The Baron and Baroness then called for Lord Bovi Farmadr, They
commended him for his fine metal working skills, and for his leather
working skills, and his garb making, and for hosting so many arts and
Sciences functions a this home, and for being named the newest
companion of the Comet Azure-Argent, Scroll by Countess Aidan ni Lier.

Their Excellencies saw that there were indeed more worthy gentles in
the crowd and called forth Lady Madeliene de l'Este.  They noted that
she had been spending much time of late sitting at troll, and that
They were very pleased by her service to the Canton of Steltonwald and
the Barony-Marche as the Seschale of Steltonwald and so They awarded
her a Comet Or, Scroll by Brianna of Steltonwald.

Their Excellencies being wise,  know that a court cannot happen
without the skilled scribes that contribute the scrolls that
commemorate awards givien, and this is indeed a high service, even
more so is the thankless job of sending out scroll assignments.  Their
Excellencies invited Countess Aidan ni Lier into Their Court.  They
noted that this woman has served the barony for years as signet taking
scroll assignments from Their Excellencies and distributing them to
the scribes of the Barony, reminding Their Excellencies when when
assignments are due, and insuring that scrolls are present at court
when awards are given, additionally she had proven to be one of the
most prolific scribes our barony has known, contributing personally
more scrolls to the baronial courts than can be counted.  For this
Their Excellencies did produce a beautifully figured black scroll from
Aidan's Apprentice THLady Gianna di Aurelio and so award her a Comet
Azure-Argent for all that she does for the Barony.

Lord Deryk the Archer asked for a moment of time in Their
Excellencies' Court and was invited to come forth and address the
populace.  Deryk said that he could not do so alone and asked if he
might invite another to join him.  Their Excellencies encouraged him
to do so, and Deryk invited Bethany Archer to join him before Their
Excellencies.  Deryk then drew a wooden box from his pouch and opened
it for her, showing its contents of an emerald ring which he did offer
her as a sign of their entrance into a handfasting.  Bethany took the
ring and agreed that she would be very pleased to proceed on this
course and be handfasted to him.

There being no further business, the court of Their Excellencies was closed.

Congratulations Deryk and Bethany!

For those of you who might be interested in period comet-depiction alternatives, here is a leaf from a book published in 1497 containing a block-printed comet:

Greetings from Myfanwy!
Interesting.  For those who are heraldically-challenged, comets are
generally depicted as being estoiles (i.e., six-pointed stars with wavy
arms) with tails.  This is an eight-pointed mullet (i.e., with straight
arms) with what is *sort* of a tail.
Thanks for posting this.
Although I am still rather partial to the Bayeux Tapestry-style comet that
is the traditional one for the Barony....
