In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Hi Silver Yale, and my other fellow heralds of Tir Righ Not sure of the answer to this one, as I haven't heard back from the last set we sent to their Highnesses. I had hoped you might have been given some feedback on these at Investiture. However below is what I copied to Her Highness Caoimhinn from the e-mail I sent to you on badge repatriation. And to my knowledge, no decisions have been made on these. "The Alpine lily would conflict with the use of "their Alpine Highnesses" in Summits. I have looked at Edelweiss, at on checking the O&A it would conflict checked with multi petaled flowers. The Kingdom of Drachenwald has the "Order of the Edelweiss" so, we would have to have it modified if we want it. For example "The Order of the Ice Edelweiss" and suggested badge could be Azure within an orle an edelweiss argent slipped and leaved or. The Lumiere du Nord. I can find no medieval example of an order that has a direction included in it. Also, I remember the problems we had when we wanted to have our Principality called "The North". Laurel Soverign of Arms ruled it conflicted with the North of the American Civil War. Lumiere is perfectly plausible and we could, as I mentioned call it the Lumiere of TirRigh as there are many examples medievally to support this type of name. We could try to define it with a colour such as the Lumiere Or then all we would have to do is define what the lumiere is, a candle? a torch? etc. I also suggest the "Order of the Light Bearer" which can be documented by the "The Sword Bearers" Livonia, 1201CE. The Lightning Spear is clear of conflict as far as I am able to determine. I am also going to send the info on the awards to our ban-Tanist Caoimhinn who has emailed yesterday me asking for the information on the awards." I like the idea of creating a name for the award that would also match a herald, but I don't know how far from the original award concepts their Highness would want to move to create such serendipity. At the moment we have no awards that would coincide with a voice herald for example and neither Lilies nor Lights can be easily worked into it. Although with tongue in cheek, I suggest Lumiere for a Court Herald, as it is what they need most to read scrolls in a dark court. :) There is also, the Glowing Ember, the Guardian and the Princesses Talon of Favor didn't pass either ( as you will recall, they were the next group to deal with after the above 3 had been sorted out) and they might have some room for adjustment as well. I will start working on them, and I would love to have input from Tir Righ's other heralds. Hi out there! And we have to remember the final choices are always those of the Prince and Princess and our duty to help them find things they like and we can get passed, nice if the worked both ways though.

This one is on the Lily. The story so far: We have an award for the consort of the second place finisher in the Tir Righ coronet lists. It's currently called the Lily. This clearly conflicts with every other Lily in the knowne world, so we'd like to find an alternative. Issues: Keeping the "Lily" part is desireable as there is strong precent in An Tir for what a given Lily means. Plus we've been using that name for awhile and small changes are more desireable than large ones. Attempts: Basically, we're looking for a ducmentable modifier for Lily that fits with the Tir Righ theme. Mountain Lily, Alpine Lily, and Edelweiss (a montain lily) were looked at, but the favority - Alpine Lily - ran smack into the fact that the Summits uses the Alpine theme heavily. Edelweiss would need some manuvering around Drachenwalkd conflict, but sacrifices the lily word. So what do we shoot for? Mountain Lily?

Hi Silver Yale, and my other fellow heralds of Tir Righ Not sure of the answer to this one, as I haven't heard back from the last set we sent to their Highnesses. I had hoped you might have been given some feedback on these at Investiture. However below is what I copied to Her Highness Caoimhinn from the e-mail I sent to you on badge repatriation. And to my knowledge, no decisions have been made on these. "The Alpine lily would conflict with the use of "their Alpine Highnesses" in Summits. I have looked at Edelweiss, at on checking the O&A it would conflict checked with multi petaled flowers. The Kingdom of Drachenwald has the "Order of the Edelweiss" so, we would have to have it modified if we want it.

The Lightning Spear is clear of conflict as far as I am able to determine. I am also going to send the info on the awards to our ban-Tanist Caoimhinn who has emailed yesterday me asking for the information on the awards." I like the idea of creating a name for the award that would also match a herald, but I don't know how far from the original award concepts their Highness would want to move to create such serendipity. At the moment we have no awards that would coincide with a voice herald for example and neither Lilies nor Lights can be easily worked into it. Although with tongue in cheek, I suggest Lumiere for a Court Herald, as it is what they need most to read scrolls in a dark court. :) There is also, the Glowing Ember, the Guardian and the Princesses Talon of Favor didn't pass either ( as you will recall, they were the next group to deal with after the above 3 had been sorted out) and they might have some room for adjustment as well. I will start working on them, and I would love to have input from Tir Righ's other heralds. Hi out there! And we have to remember the final choices are always those of the Prince and Princess and our duty to help them find things they like and we can get passed, nice if the worked both ways though.

I just ploughed through name precedents and the RfS and didn't find proof, but I'm remembering distinctly seeing proof that conflict by translation doesn't exist in non-personal names. The RfS have 'sound' and 'appearance' as their primary criteria, not meaning. I'll do some further digging but I suspect your wholly French name is just fine. I'll get back to you on this.

I just ploughed through name precedents and the RfS and didn't find proof, but I'm remembering distinctly seeing proof that conflict by translation doesn't exist in non-personal names. The RfS have 'sound' and 'appearance' as their primary criteria, not meaning. I'll do some further digging but I suspect your wholly French name is just fine. I'll get back to you on this. (And I know people in Trimaris - permission to conflict is an option if necessary.) - Teceangl No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Every other Lily has a designator attached to it. So Calontir could be approached for permission to conflict with the addition of 'Tir Righ' to the name. There's no conflict with the Summits. They haven't registered Alpine anything. The potential issue would perhaps be one of identity. White Lily is also clear. - Teceangl No virus found in this incoming message.

Anyone else got anything? You need to document it being used in exactly the same way AND that period order names used that adjective. So something 'moving like lightning' won't cut it, but 'thy lightning sword did smite thine enemies' would suffice for adjective legitimacy. Though you'd still need to document the pattern for order names, as well. Note that the Rising Star return didn't care whether rising star was a period adjective-noun combination, it addressed that pattern as an order name.

I believe that the Old Shattered Shield is passed through being passed when we accepted all sorts of interesting things as valid documentation. I like Lightning Spear!

The whole idea around the runner-up and inspiration awards was around the spear that the runner-up received.

I like the idea of having the inspiration's award follow the model of what the spirit of the awards were first created as.

There is great confusion in the principality in regards to the difference between the Silver Spear and the Shattered Spear. I have had to explain it many times. While I like Shattered Spear (and that's what the regalia is - the old spear that was physically broken in court at Tir Righ's first Coronet Tournament and a short length of it was given to the most ferocious fighter) if it can't pass, then I think we need to ditch the spear reference altogether.

I don't care what they call it, An Tir only owns the award names Silver Lily and Permicious Lily (also Lily Pernicious). These are the registered Lily names of the SCA: # Argent Lily, Order of the * This order name was registered to Meridies, Kingdom of in September of 1995 (via Meridies). # Calon Lily, Order of the * This order name was registered to Calontir, Kingdom of in October of 1982 (via the Middle). # Gilded Lily, Order of the * This order name was registered to Winter's Gate, Barony of in November of 1982 (via the West). # Lily Pernicious, Order of the * This order name was registered to An Tir, Kingdom of in August of 1987 (via Laurel). # Mountain Lily, Order of the * This order name was registered to Ered S?l, Barony of in March of 1998 (via Atenveldt). # Pernicious Lily, Order of the * This order name was registered to An Tir, Kingdom of in April of 1982 (via Laurel). # Silver Lily, Order of the * This order name was registered to An Tir, Kingdom of in February of 1999 (via An Tir). # Water Lily, Order of the * This order name was registered to Marinus, Barony of in August of 1992 (via Atlantia). Of the above, the one that does directly conflict with the simply 'Lily' or 'Lily of Tir Righ' (or any other branch name), is the Calon Lily, as a branch name reference is not enough to clear conflict. So should 'Lily of Tir Righ' or somesuch be desirable, we ask permission to conflict with Calontir. I might have some second-party clout we could tap for that. Someone was looking for local lily types - that only works if the plant was also found in period Europe or was a New World type well-known to period Europeans. There's nothing at all wrong with having another Lily. The trick is keeping it simply and finding something catchy enough to use that's clear. - Teceangl From cocinera at shaw.ca Mon Jun 4 14:22:52 2007 From: cocinera at shaw.ca (Rosemary Underhill) Date: Mon, 04 Jun 2007 14:22:52 -0700 Subject: [tirrigh-heralds] Lily discussion In-Reply-To: <4664635A.7090206@shaw.ca> Message-ID: Greetings all Mistress Yolande wrote, (large snip) I like the idea of having the inspiration's award follow the model of what the spirit of the awards were first created as.

One of our duties as a College of Heralds is to provide the Coronet with a ceremonial. This ceremonial is the default ceremonial that the Coronet can use should They so choose or if They would prefer not to write Their own ceremony from scratch. Additionally for those Coronets who want to write Their own ceremonies, we still need to provide support and guidance to Their efforts. The process of making a ceremonial for the Principality has been ongoing by many, many hands for my entire tenure as Silver Yale. Many ceremonies have been written, some have been used, but all of them suffer from one major drawback. That drawback is how do we know if that ceremony is good, sufficient, correct, and accepted by the Principality? In order to answer this question, I am proposing that we endorse and enact the following process. We create a ceremonial committee. This committee is comprised of 5 members: Silver Yale, the Tir Righ Court Herald (or another staff herald if there is no Court Herald) and 3 at large members. I would like the committee to be as diverse as possible. Both genders represented, Royal Peers, people who have served as a Landed Baron or Baroness, Court patrons, Retinue members, and so on. This committee needs to be familiar with what works for a ceremony from many different perspectives. That committee will make a list of requirements for our ceremonies. Here is my starting list: A Tir Righ ceremony must - Honor all Principality, Kingdom, and Society traditions - Perform the ceremony it claims - Be easy to perform - Be neither too quick nor too long - Take into account positions of those involved - Have people make proper entrances and exits - Be performable even if major artifacts are missing In order to add, delete, or change a ceremony in the official Tir Righ ceremonial, someone comes forward with a ceremony to add, wordings to change, or the call to delete a ceremony from the ceremonial. Anyone can do this. If Viscountess Amanda wants a change in the ceremonial, this is what she does. If John the Great Newcomer wants to write a ceremony to be evaluated for the ceremonial, he can do so! The committee gets between 2 weeks and a month to evaluate the ceremony. A simple majority vote is needed to get the committee's recommendation. If it passes the committee, the ceremony is sent to the Coronet for Thier approval. If the Coronet approves, the ceremony is added to the Tir Righ ceremonial. Note that this doesn't stop the Coronet from using Their preferred ceremony. Rather it gives our Coronet the solid backdrop of a consistent and agreed upon ceremonial that They can use as They see fit. Also, this ceremonial can have multiple different ceremonies that do the same thing, just in different ways. What this does give us is an agreed upon process to make our ceremonies official. Rather than having to get buy off from everyone, we have a body that is designed to evaluate our ceremonies, charged with the responsibility to do so, and given the power to carry out that job. This is my proposal to the College. Please let me know what you think! - Quentin Silver Yale -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

When I think of the inspirations for our Tir Righ warriors, I don't think delicate flowers. I think strong, powerful women; feminine, but not dainty. Perhaps there's another direction to take this, but I'm really tired and heading to bed and can't think of one yet.

I don't think enough people know that the Silver Spear and Silver Lily exist. We don't have ceremonies in the Ceremonial for them, so there is no definitive ceremony for the populace to hear and remember.

A project near and dear to me (hey I'm selfish). Looking over the tables it seems everything is covered. I'm still undecided on the birthdate. I first thought the reason it was required on the submission forms was due to the legal signature once required (if you're not legal how can you have a legal signature right?) But the signature block was removed from the new submission forms so it really makes one wonder why do we need the person's date of birth? The only reason I can come up with stems from having a father and brother who have the same names and bank at the same branch. The only way their bank can tell them appart is by their birthdate... hence the reason my father goes by Senior now (should have thought of that before they named my brother). anyway, it's late, I'm mumbling and maybe a more experienced herald knows why we need the birthdate on submission forms?

The Ceremonial is a fluid, ever-changing creature, yet is full of history and traditions that we don't want to loose. A regular group of people working on it is a good idea. Quentin wrote: "That drawback is how do we know if that ceremony is good, sufficient, correct, and accepted by the Principality?" A ceremonial does not need to be accepted by the Principality. Sure, it should be good, sufficient, and correct. But accepted? Maybe I'm missing your point here. Quentin wrote: "In order to add, delete, or change a ceremony in the official Tir Righ ceremonial, someone comes forward with a ceremony to add, wordings to change, or the call to delete a ceremony from the ceremonial. Anyone can do this. If Viscountess Amanda wants a change in the ceremonial, this is what she does. If John the Great Newcomer wants to write a ceremony to be evaluated for the ceremonial, he can do so!" I disagree with this. Anyone does not, and should not, have the power nor the right to do this. One very important thing needs to be remembered - that the Ceremonies are the word of the Coronet. Just as Heralds are the voice of the Coronet. I have a problem with John the Great Newcomer coming up and wanting to change the words of the Coronet. It is not his right to do so. And respectfully, neither is it the right of a Royal Peer. The only ones that can do that are the Royals. Certainly anyone can make suggestions, but the committee would be there to vet the suggestions and then present the changes to the Royals for acceptance or not. I'm hoping this is what you meant. As for who makes up the committee, Quentin mentions Court Patrons. Do you mean Royal Patrons? Otherwise, I don't know what a Court Patron is. This idea of an ongoing Ceremonies Committee should be made first to Their Highnesses to see if They are in agreement with having a Ceremonial Committee (I don't see why They wouldn't agree - it's more a matter of principle). Once Their permission is gained, then a formal proposal can be written, along with a list of names for committee members and submitted to Them for final approval.

Because of the mobility of our society now, address is not a reliable indicator of identity. I was working on Laurel staff when the SCA name were the same on name submissions (there was some uncertainty at the kingdom level as to whether or not the submission had been forwarded) and the mundane names were the same. While the addresses were different, that was not a good indicator that the people were different (for example, I've lived at five different addresses since 2002). When the birthdates were compared, they were different, so we were pretty sure the people were different. While the field asks for birthdate, Laurel doesn't really care as long as the date that the submitter will use will always be the same. Richenda CAITRINA SABLE LOAT wrote: > Greetings and YAY!

I first thought the reason it was required on the submission forms was due to the legal signature once required (if you're not legal how can you have a legal signature right?) But the signature block was removed from the new submission forms so it really makes one wonder why do we need the person's date of birth? The only reason I can come up with stems from having a father and brother who have the same names and bank at the same branch. The only way their bank can tell them appart is by their birthdate... hence the reason my father goes by Senior now (should have thought of that before they named my brother). > > anyway, it's late, I'm mumbling and maybe a more experienced herald knows why we need the birthdate on submission forms?

Ongoing committee: There's an interesting name the Standing Ceremonial Committee Acceptance: I think that we're on the same page here. If a person writes a ceremony, that ceremony needs to be accepted as right and proper by some set of people in the Principality. Who exactly comprises that set is a matter of debate. My proposal lists exactly who those positions are, specifically the ceremonial committee and the Coronet. Currently, to get acceptance, one would have to talk to...well, I'm not sure. The Coronet certainly. Silver Yale? Seems like a good choice being the chief heraldic officer of the Principality, but I don't recall many ceremonies coming to my doorstep for review. Tir Righ Court Herald? Head of Retinue? Court Liaison? Heavily involved Royal Peer? These are what are being answered. If someone wants to have direct input into the process, get on the committee. Or failing that, talk to someone on the committee. Or write the ceremony and submit it to the committee. Or, of course, win Coronet. :) The right of anyone to write a ceremony: I don't think that we're in actual disagreement here. I believe that anyone should have the right to write a ceremony and submit it to the ceremonial committee. This is how we can sell the idea of getting involved in this process to those people in Tir Righ who may have great ideas but may not have connections with the court itself. This is also who to get people involved in our work, find, and recruit new people to help us. That person's ceremony will then be reviewed by the committee. No one gets to place words in the mouth of the Coronet. However, anyone with ideas, suggestions, or input will then have this avenue available to put their great energy to work in helping the Principality! Court patrons: Definition - someone who attends a court. The idea is that we get many different views from many different perspectives. The perspective of being on the throne is way different than being the herald than being the court reporter than watching the court and so on. - Quentin Silver Yale -----Original Message----- From: collegeofheralds-bounces at tirrigh.org [mailto:collegeofheralds-bounces at tirrigh.org] On Behalf Of Laura Offley Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 10:53 AM To: collegeofheralds at tirrigh.org Subject: Re: [tirrigh-heralds] Ceremonial creation process Greetings from Yolande, I like this idea of an ongoing Ceremonial Committee, not just one that does the work once and is disbanded. The Ceremonial is a fluid, ever-changing creature, yet is full of history and traditions that we don't want to loose. A regular group of people working on it is a good idea. Quentin wrote: "That drawback is how do we know if that ceremony is good, sufficient, correct, and accepted by the Principality?" A ceremonial does not need to be accepted by the Principality. Sure, it should be good, sufficient, and correct. But accepted? Maybe I'm missing your point here. Quentin wrote: "In order to add, delete, or change a ceremony in the official Tir Righ ceremonial, someone comes forward with a ceremony to add, wordings to change, or the call to delete a ceremony from the ceremonial. Anyone can do this. If Viscountess Amanda wants a change in the ceremonial, this is what she does. If John the Great Newcomer wants to write a ceremony to be evaluated for the ceremonial, he can do so!" I disagree with this. Anyone does not, and should not, have the power nor the right to do this. One very important thing needs to be remembered - that the Ceremonies are the word of the Coronet. Just as Heralds are the voice of the Coronet. I have a problem with John the Great Newcomer coming up and wanting to change the words of the Coronet. It is not his right to do so. And respectfully, neither is it the right of a Royal Peer. The only ones that can do that are the Royals. Certainly anyone can make suggestions, but the committee would be there to vet the suggestions and then present the changes to the Royals for acceptance or not. I'm hoping this is what you meant. As for who makes up the committee, Quentin mentions Court Patrons. Do you mean Royal Patrons? Otherwise, I don't know what a Court Patron is. This idea of an ongoing Ceremonies Committee should be made first to Their Highnesses to see if They are in agreement with having a Ceremonial Committee (I don't see why They wouldn't agree - it's more a matter of principle). Once Their permission is gained, then a formal proposal can be written, along with a list of names for committee members and submitted to Them for final approval. Yolande (who is *extremely* reluctant to take on any more work, but who really is interested from a retinue perspective . . .) Quentin Martel wrote: Greetings unto the College of Heralds of Tir Righ from Quentin Silver Yale! One of our duties as a College of Heralds is to provide the Coronet with a ceremonial. This ceremonial is the default ceremonial that the Coronet can use should They so choose or if They would prefer not to write Their own ceremony from scratch. Additionally for those Coronets who want to write Their own ceremonies, we still need to provide support and guidance to Their efforts. The process of making a ceremonial for the Principality has been ongoing by many, many hands for my entire tenure as Silver Yale. Many ceremonies have been written, some have been used, but all of them suffer from one major drawback. That drawback is how do we know if that ceremony is good, sufficient, correct, and accepted by the Principality? In order to answer this question, I am proposing that we endorse and enact the following process. We create a ceremonial committee. This committee is comprised of 5 members: Silver Yale, the Tir Righ Court Herald (or another staff herald if there is no Court Herald) and 3 at large members. I would like the committee to be as diverse as possible. Both genders represented, Royal Peers, people who have served as a Landed Baron or Baroness, Court patrons, Retinue members, and so on. This committee needs to be familiar with what works for a ceremony from many different perspectives. That committee will make a list of requirements for our ceremonies. Here is my starting list: A Tir Righ ceremony must - Honor all Principality, Kingdom, and Society traditions - Perform the ceremony it claims - Be easy to perform - Be neither too quick nor too long - Take into account positions of those involved - Have people make proper entrances and exits - Be performable even if major artifacts are missing In order to add, delete, or change a ceremony in the official Tir Righ ceremonial, someone comes forward with a ceremony to add, wordings to change, or the call to delete a ceremony from the ceremonial. Anyone can do this. If Viscountess Amanda wants a change in the ceremonial, this is what she does. If John the Great Newcomer wants to write a ceremony to be evaluated for the ceremonial, he can do so! The committee gets between 2 weeks and a month to evaluate the ceremony. A simple majority vote is needed to get the committee's recommendation. If it passes the committee, the ceremony is sent to the Coronet for Thier approval. If the Coronet approves, the ceremony is added to the Tir Righ ceremonial. Note that this doesn't stop the Coronet from using Their preferred ceremony. Rather it gives our Coronet the solid backdrop of a consistent and agreed upon ceremonial that They can use as They see fit. Also, this ceremonial can have multiple different ceremonies that do the same thing, just in different ways. What this does give us is an agreed upon process to make our ceremonies official. Rather than having to get buy off from everyone, we have a body that is designed to evaluate our ceremonies, charged with the responsibility to do so, and given the power to carry out that job. This is my proposal to the College. Please let me know what you think! - Quentin Silver Yale ________________________________ _______________________________________________ Collegeofheralds mailing list Collegeofheralds at tirrigh.org http://mail.tirrigh.org/mailman/listinfo/collegeofheralds_tirrigh.org ________________________________ No virus found in this incoming message.

I like it. Their Highnesses may have an idea which people (not names, rather positions) They would like to have on the committee. I would think that once the overall idea of the committee gets approval, then you could put out a call for volunteers as well . . . . I would be wary of the term court patrons. It suggests assumptions of position. I prefer the term court audience. Historically, the term would have been courtiers, which I would prefer to use, but again it has a different usage in the SCA to refer to Baronial Courtiers (non-combat Sergeants, Yeomen & Gallants).

However, Snow Gentian is a flower listed as such in more modern botanicals, a more modern hybrid, Given that, if we call the award Snow Gentian (or Storm Gentian for that matter) it would still be heraldically blazoned as just gentian in the badge and its colour perhaps can define it. Using that as a starting point I don't see why we can't pick any European alpine flower and give a storm related name Theocharista Red Flame No virus found in this outgoing message.

Order name L'ordre de l'Etoile Argente. This order name conflicts with the Order of the Argent Estoille of Trimaris, registered to the kingdom of Trimaris in October, 1991. Both names contain descriptive elements nearly identical in sound and appearance and identical in meaning (Silver Star). RFS 2.b.i and 2.b.ii. say that two non-personal names with the same number of descriptive elements conflict unless i) "each of them contains a descriptive element significantly different from every descriptive element in the other", or ii) "either the order of the elements or the grammatical structure of the name has changed in a way that significantly changes the meaning of the name as a whole." In this case, the descriptive elements are identical, and the change in the order of the elements does not significantly change the meaning of the name as a whole. The kingdom name in the one order name is transparent for purposes of conflict. We would drop the descriptive element Argente, but the order name would then conflict with Estoile Pursuivant, registered to the kingdom of the West in January 1982 and Order of the Estoile, registered to the Barony of Winter's Gate in December 1984. We note that l'Ordre de l'Etoile Argente (note that this suggestion corrects the capitalization from the submitted form) would be registerable if the principality of Tir R?gh obtained a letter of permission to conflict from the Kingdom of Trimaris. So I question whether at least the first two are really clear. (Also, is "l'Etoile d'Argent" proper grammer? My french is pretty rusty but doesn't the translate as "the Star of White" with "of" being in the sense of "from"? ) Alicia -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If they do get one of each, they can wear the tokens as earrings. :) Master Sion ap Llwyd had two Goutte de Sangs. Court herald mistake. So he put them both on the same necklace and wore them proudly, and when he was made Pelican framed his pelican badge with the two GdS medallions. We could never talk him into earrings, but we tried. :) Seriously, We have a Corounne Rouge herald in An Tir and there's an order of the Cordon Rouge someplace and any confusion is handled with grace.

We don't have to change our award name. 2. We're a long, long way from Trimaris. There are exactly 9 people living in An Tir who hold Trimarian awards. Listed below for trivia buffs Abigail MacLachlan the Mad - Wealdsmere Dafydd ap Emrys - Blatha An Oir Duncan Angus Macdonald - Aquaterra Jhone MacLachlan - Wealdsmere Katerina Isabella di Firenze - Dragon's Mist Lorcan ab Arthur - Dragon's Mist Mary Shandril Fergueson Germain - Blatha An Oir Shalimariah Galistene - Dragon's Laire Thamzine of the North Sea - Blatha An Oir 3. It's pretty easy to ask Cons: 1. We won't have our own unique award name 2. The idea of registering is that we have unique names 3. We're not really committed to the current name at this point. Tir Righ would accept a change especially in light of direct conflict. Am I missing any pros or cons? Please let me know. That's largely what this list is all about - getting the real information in front of us so decisions can be made quickly and properly. - Quentin Silver Yale -----Original Message----- From: collegeofheralds-bounces at tirrigh.org [mailto:collegeofheralds-bounces at tirrigh.org] On Behalf Of Uilliam mac Ail?ne mhic Seamuis Sent: Monday, June 11, 2007 8:34 PM To: collegeofheralds at tirrigh.org Subject: Re: [tirrigh-heralds] L'Etoile d'Argent renaming Judy Harcus wrote: > Britt wrote: >> l'Etoile d'Argent, Argent Estoile, Silver Estoile, or any correct >> French variant, are all clear from conflict. >> >> - Teceangl >> >> > >From the July 2007 Laurel Letter (returns): > *Tir R?gh, Principality of. * Order name L'ordre de l'Etoile Argente. > > This order name conflicts with the /Order of the Argent Estoille of > Trimaris/, registered to the kingdom of Trimaris in October, 1991. > Both names contain descriptive elements nearly identical in sound > and appearance and identical in meaning (Silver Star).

We're probably about a week from a fully working system. Once we have that, we're going to be using this system to distribute the load of clients among the various heralds of Tir Righ, seeing to it that we proactively are contacting our clients, and cross referencing their submissions with the Kingdom and Society returns.

This is a quick update on the client tracking database: Launch project - Done! Determine data to store in database - Done! Design tables - Done! Build database on Tir Righ site - Done! Create database user - Done! Grant proper privileges to database user - Done! Create add client and add submission functions - Done! Create edit client and edit submission functions - Done!

Create edit client pages - Done! Create delete client pages - Done! Create add submission pages - Done! Create edit submission pages - Done! Create delete submission pages - Done! Create report page ? In progress Secure data input pages The bottom line is that we have a working system for adding and editing the heralds and clients in the system and creating submissions and editing them right now. We?re probably about a week from a fully working system. Once we have that, we?re going to be using this system to distribute the load of clients among the various heralds of Tir Righ, seeing to it that we proactively are contacting our clients, and cross referencing their submissions with the Kingdom and Society returns. The goal is to make Tir Righ a shining example of what a College of Heralds should provide for our clients ? meaningful and consistent communication about the registration process.

Greetings, Quentin SYH and all the other heralds of this college. Some opinions regarding the Ceremonial, and mainly to do with formatting: 1. Minimum type size should be 16pt, maybe even 18pt. This makes it easier to read from in court without being obvious. Lots of us whose eyesight is less than optimum. 2. Should be printed in a non-serif font, such as one of the Arial or Helvetica families. Serifs are harder to read when held at a distance. 3. Each ceremony should start on a left-hand page, this will greatly reduce the requirements for page-turning during ceremonies. Lots of ceremonies that are 1-and-some pages long at the moment. 4. Ensure a clear and consistent use of such things as italics, bolding and underline. For instance, if it is established in one ceremony that boldface is used to indicate who is speaking (i.e., *HERALD*, *PRINCE*, etc.), then don't use italics for that same indication in a different ceremony. 5. Avoid footnotes. These are not scholarly documents; these are scripts. If a note needs to be made, insert it at the required point in the text, marked off by whatever is the agreed-upon form, whether it be italics, enclosed in a box or what-have-you. 6. The sections on court liason, how to do court and the historical ceremonies are valuable, but they do not need to be in the main part of the document. They should be included as appendices. I */strongly/* recommend that the official copy have its pages in page protectors. This will help reduce liquid damage, whether it be rain or a cup of cheer. It will also make it easier for the herald to Crayon/dry-marker/China pencil in stuff in blank spots such as "___recipient___". You may scoff, but I've seen it happen - the herald gets into a zone, and actually says "recipient" during the ceremony. I also note there's a number of ceremonies missing. Some are marked "This ceremony under development" or the equivalent, others are dealt with simply as a paragraph or two about the award or whatever it is. Some aren't there at all, but should be - i.e., herald baptism ceremony. We need to see what's in the An Tir Ceremonial that we may want to stea- er, adapt. Tired now. Must go sleepies.

She is firm in her belief that her desired spelling is period, however we've yet to find anything to support it. I was hoping someone with an extensive library or knowledge of names could help?

I come before you all today to talk about the Tir Righ Client Tracking system that we've been pushing towards. It is now imminent. This is a powerful tool quite unlike any you have ever worked with before in your consulting duties. It puts together in one place the status of every heraldic submission - where in the process it is, who is belongs to, who the consulting herald is, and more - in one place where we and our clients can see it clearly and easily. I believe that this could represent a new day of communication, way to balance our workloads, and bring far greater happiness for both our clients and our College. If this works as well as I'm thinking it will, every College of Heralds in the Known World will be copying it and using it. Is it that good of an idea. But like any distributed system, it gets more powerful as more people use it. And more people will use it if they know what it is and how it works. So towards that end, I'll be calling every herald in Tir Righ and talking to you about the system - what it is, how to use it, when to use it, why to use it, and so on. Additionally, as this is a consulting tool, it falls under the bailiwick of Theocharista Red Flame. I'll be coordinating with her on how we will administrate the use of this tool once everyone knows what it is and how it works. Expect this call from me. Head over to http://www.tirrigh.org/heralds/clienttracker and see what we have in place already.
