Halima -- http://www.island.net/~doerksen/ ----- Forwarded message from anneka.homfeld at gmail.com ----- Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2012 16:25:19 -0700 From: Anneka Homfeld Subject: [northern] Tir Righ A&S To: northern at antir.sca.org Greetings CASBah approaches and the deadline for letters of intent does as well. With that in mind I present to you the official rules for the Principality Arts and Sciences Competition for this year. Some minor changes have been made and some additional information drawn from the kingdom handbook has been included. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch with myself at scholar at tirrigh.org or the Tir Righ A&S Minister Sionnan at songstress1973 at gmail.com Thank you Lady Ciana de'Libri Scholar of Tir Righ Student to Mistress Agnes Cresewyke Please Forward where appropriate > From Principality Law: *Section 4 - Rights and Duties of Champions* The job descriptions, duties, responsibilities and privileges of the Champions are detailed as follows: 1. Duties of All Champions a. To swear an oath of fealty and service to the Coronet. b. To defend the honour and prestige of the Coronet and the Principality of Tir Righ, whenever such is challenged. c. To support the Coronet in war. d. To attend all Coronet Events. Prior notification to Their Highnesses and Their Heirs must be made if the Champion is unable to attend. e. To maintain membership in the Society during the Champion's term of service. f. To speak or act in the Coronet's name when delegated to do so. g. To further the interests of their area of endeavour. h. To maintain a subscription to the Northern Sentinel for the length of their office, in addition to membership requirements set forth in Kingdom Law and Corpora. 2. Rights of All Champions a. To stand armed near the Coronet at all events. b. To be at the side of the Coronet in war and at court. c. To bear and display the regalia of their position. d. Where space permits, a place at Head Table with the Coronet. e. Champions shall not be charged site fees at Coronet and Principality Events. Requirements of the Competition: *General Requirements* * * ? Residence in Tir Righ or permission from the Coronet of Tir Righ to compete ? Membership in the Society for Creative Anachronism. Remember to bring proof of this membership to the Championship if you are entering the Competition for Overall Champion. ? Entrants for Overall Champion must be at least 18 years old. ? Entrants with single entries must be at least 16 years old. ? All entrants must attend the Competition so they may interact with the judges, other competitors and onlookers. *Competition Requirements* ? Competitors for Overall Champion must submit a letter of intent to the Coronets of Tir Righ and the Principality Arts & Science Minister four weeks prior to the competition but ideally before August Investiture. This is to ensure suitable judges can be located prior to the event. (For this year we will be accepting letters of intent up to September the 1st. However please try to have your declaration in by August Investiture.) ? Competitors who are entering the single-entry category or in-depth feedback category must also notify the Principality Arts and Sciences Minister by the August Investiture before the Championship. Remember to clearly note that you are entering the single entry or indepth feedback categories in your submission. ? Notification for both Overall Champion and single or in-depth feedback entries must include: o Name o Branch o Any fealty relationships you have (squire, protege, apprentice, etc) o detailed description of each of your entries o any special requirements you need from the Arts and Sciences office or the site ? If you want to change or significantly alter an entry you are making after you have send in your letter of intent, please let the Arts and Science Minister know at least two weeks prior to the start of the competition. ? An entrant must submit a minimum of three entries but can enter four if so desired. o Only the top three scores will count towards the final total. o One of the three pieces (or two out of the four) can be entered unfinished. ? Each entry can be in the form of any of the following: ? Performance piece (presentation, dance, music, etc.) ? An object (book, clothing, footwear, box, etc.) ? Research paper: o Only one of the entries can be a research paper (see below for more info). ? To clarify: You can enter 3 objects, 2 objects and a performance piece, etc. it's really up to you. ? Each entry must be consistent with a pre-1600 date and can be from any culture within Europe or from a culture that traded with a European society. This can include Asia, North Africa and others. ? Your pieces cannot have been previously entered to compete for the Kingdom Championship. ? Your pieces cannot have been previously entered to compete for the Principality Championship. ? A piece can have been entered at any other level but only if there has been significant notable changes (please get in touch with the A&S champion or A&S minister if you would like to discuss what that means) (you should be able to discuss these changes with the judges). *Note*: Competitors must make certain with the Arts and Sciences and Bardic Competitions staff that their entries can be accommodated at the event site. For example: ? Competitors are discouraged from bringing live animals to the Competition. If the competitor must bring live animals, he or she is responsible for making all arrangements for the safety and security of the animals. The competitor must pay for any additional insurance fees the event may incur due to the presences of the animals. ? Kitchen facilities may not be available, contact the autocrat of the Championship to find out about this and plan accordingly. ? Alcohol, distilled products, etc, may not be allowed at the site or location. This could be due to local laws, or event site rules. The competitor is responsible for knowing and abiding by all national, provincial and local laws with respect to their entry, both where the entry is made and where the entry is displayed and judged. * * *Note: *If the competitor requires special facilities for any reason, the competitor is responsible for the cost of those facilities. See the autocrat team and the Principality Arts and Sciences Minister if there are questions about this. ? Don't forget- no one is looking for a museum replica piece, the idea is for this competition is to encourage people to be creative and research their own arts & science interests. ? Any person may enter a piece without the goal of being the overall A&S Champion. You may enter up to three pieces but the letter of intent is the same as for a full entry to ensure judges can be arranged (four weeks prior to the competition). ? A group of people may enter a piece as well. This is an entirely period-appropriate thing to do. Please document how each person contributed to the overall piece. *Your entry should consist of:*** ? The object and associated documentation, scholarly paper, or performance/composition piece and associated documentation. In other words, the 'thing' itself. Photocopies of documentation: Please bring at least three copies (one for each judge) with one more for yourself during your presentation with an option for a fifth copy for the public to examine before and after judging. ? A visual display. This display can include pictures of the process of creating your object, a demonstration of the actual process, pictures and text relating to your performance/composition piece or scholarly paper and more. How you choose to display is up to you but you are encouraged towards displays that are relatively easy for people to understand. ? An oral presentation. Many people seem to find this aspect of the competition the most daunting, and the following tips may help to make the oral presentation a fun and informative part of the competition experience. o Present your object or performance/composition piece and the process you used to create it, or your scholarly paper topic, as clearly and concisely as possible. o Do not read from your documentation or scholarly paper, and remember to use your visual presentation. o Remember the judges are there to learn and to teach. They are very interested in what you have done. Be proud of your work and enthusiastic about it. o Nervousness is to be expected. Remember how much you love what you have created and researched and let that love show. o Judges will ask questions. Answer them to the best of your ability. It is here that having done broader research will come in handy, because you can relate your topic to similar topics from other regions or times. Remember that it is okay, and expected, that you not know all the answers. o Generally judges want to explore the topic with you and are just as enthusiastic as you are about it. Therefore this time can be a really satisfying sharing and learning period. Learn from your judges and incorporate their suggestions into your next presentation. They will be learning from you, just the same. o Use your visual presentation to support your comments about your work. This can be as simple as walking the judges through the illustrations you have presented, handling the item you have created while explaining that creation, explaining the elements of your performance/composition or discussing your research and how you came to learn what you have learned. ? There will be three judges per entry. ? You will have 30 minutes to present your piece. This includes your discussion of the piece, any questions the judges may have and the time it takes to judges to complete the score sheet. Please remember the judges are not out to trick you but to gain a better understand of the methods and materials you used and the decisions you made in the creation of the piece. *Requirements for a Single, Multiple or Group Entry:* ? Any person may enter a piece without the goal of being the overall A&S Champion. You may enter up to three pieces but the letter of intent is the same as for a full entry to ensure judges can be arranged (four weeks prior to the competition). ? A group of people may enter a piece as well. This is an entirely period-appropriate thing to do. Please document how each person contributed to the overall piece. *In-depth Feedback without Officially Entering:* ? In this case, an artist may still bring their piece with full documentation to the Competition but their piece will not be scored. Instead, you will receive feedback from one appropriate judge. This is a much less-stressful but incredibly useful way for you to talk to someone with experience in your field and get feedback. Please discuss your intent for this category with the Arts and Science Minister two - four weeks prior to the competition with your ideas so an appropriate judge can be found.** *Research Papers:* ? You can make one of your pieces a Research Paper. This can be an incredibly good medium to put forward new ideas and to show the level of research you have conducted. Your paper can be on any topic you wish as long as it explores in depth an aspect of pre- 1600 AD life. Feel free to discuss your topic and get feedback from any previous champion or the A&S Minister. We highly encourage you to conform the paper to either the MLA or Chicago style. This will allow you to enter the paper at the Kingdom level later. ? Your paper can be of any length as long as the topic is covered 'in depth' (which can mean between 10-15 pages double-spaced including figures and a reference section). ? A copy of your paper must be submitted to the Arts and Science Minister four weeks prior to the start of the Competition. *Basic Document Criteria* * * ? The document should be in a readily available electronic format, such as a Word document or a pdf. ? The document should be submitted to the Kingdom Arts and Sciences Minister at least two weeks before the Competition. This is to allow judges time to read the documentation. ? Paper Size: 8.5" X 11" ? Margins: 1 inch for all margins (top, bottom and sides) ? Spacing: Double or 1.5 spacing is preferred ? Font: 10 or 12-point font. Use a font style that is common and easily read, such as Times New Roman, Courier, Liberation Sans or Serif, etc. Do NOT use a 'Medieval' font. ? Pagination/Page Numbering: All pages should be numbered, except your title page. Numbers can be placed at the top right, bottom center or bottom right of the page. If you print on both sides of the paper, place the numbers accordingly. ? Illustrations: Please refer to your illustrations within the text as Figure 1, Illustration 1, Table 1, etc. Number them consecutively. Photographs and diagrams are encouraged. Photos have as high a resolution as possible. ? Each chapter should begin on a new page (if you have chapters; they are not required, but are useful in scholarly papers). ? References, Appendixes and Endnotes should all begin on a new page. ? All citations in the body of the paper should be listed in the reference/bibliography section. References consulted as well as references cited should be listed in the reference/bibliography section. Annotated bibliographies are very welcome, but not required. * * *Style Guides: Citation, Reference and Bibliography Styles* ? Before you begin writing your documentation you should pick a writing style guide with citation, reference and bibliography styles and stick with it. There are many such style guides, although two that come highly recommended for Kingdom Arts & Sciences papers are those used by the SCA journals: *Tournaments Illuminated *and the *Compleat Anachronist*. Bothpublications have online style guides (links are available below in the 'More Information' section, page 10). ? Scholastic style guides are acceptable as well. Two of the most popular are the MLA and Chicago-Turabian styles. Many scholastic disciplines have their own style guides and it is acceptable to follow one of these, as long as it is coherent and contains a style for citations, references and the bibliography. ? Style guides often include more than citation and bibliography styles. They can help you obtain consistent dating, capitalization and paragraph styles. They are highly useful for anyone writing any kind of researched documentation. _______________________________________________ northern mailing list northern at antir.sca.org http://missives.antir.sca.org/mailman/listinfo/northern ----- End forwarded message ----- From canzonet3 at gmail.com Wed Aug 8 10:44:39 2012 From: canzonet3 at gmail.com (canzonet3) Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2012 10:44:39 -0700 Subject: [Hartwood] Armada Message-ID: Armada: August 10-12, Shire of Hartwood Camp Gilwell Courtenay, BC http://antir.sca.org/Upcoming/?Event_ID=3068 Hi everyone! Some more information about our upcoming event this weekend for our campers: Some things about the campsite of which to be aware: 1. There are 2 places you can get water. Neither is close to camping. You will need to have a means of carrying the water to where you're going to need it. Armada will try to have something with wheels to help with this. :) 2. The camp fire permit allows us to have on-ground wood fires *in established firepits only* until 10pm. The event steward is amending this rule to say that is you want a wood fire, please come to the *Bardic Area* and enjoy it. It's a big site and I don't want to be hoofing it all over checking at 10pm. That said, at this time, we don't have a lit fire for Bardic after 10pm. If someone has an off-ground propane fire they'd like to offer, I'd be thrilled to hear of it? 3. There's a river. It's cool, it's lovely, we have activities planned for in it. It's also a potential hazard for children, people who slip and hit body parts on rocks, etc. Be aware and careful, please. That said, please bring something in which to get wet and a towel - the water's great! 4. Watch for bear, cougar and other wild animals. Be careful and act appropriately. Thanks, everyone.

Word of the Day ? August 15 ? ? palisade\pal-uh-SAYD\ ? ? noun ? 1 a : a fence of stakes especially for defense ? b : a long strong stake pointed at the top and set close with others as a defense ? 2 : a line of bold cliffs ? ? ? ? "The biggest structure on the lot was a palisade made from wood harvested on the property, making the entrance look like a fortified structure." ? From an article by Annie J. Kelley in the Battle Creek (Michigan) Enquirer, July 11, 2012 ? "What is known as Wenlock Edge, a great palisade, almost 1,000 feet high, running for 15 miles through the county of Shropshire, overlooks, near its eastern end, the tidy town of Much Wenlock." ? From an article by Frank Deford in Smithsonian, July-August 2012 ? ? ? "Palisade" derives via French from the Latin noun "palus," meaning "stake." The word originally applied to one of a series of stakes set in a row to form an enclosure or fortification. "The Palisades" is also the name given to the line of traprock cliffs that stretches for about 15 miles along the western bank of the Hudson River in southeastern New York and northern New Jersey. Purportedly, these cliffs got their name from the resemblance of the tall rocks to rows of stakes or trees, although who exactly came up with the name is a matter of dispute. Before long "palisade" came to refer to any similar formation of tall cliffs. ? ?Word Family Quiz: What descendant of "palus" can mean "to pierce with something pointed"? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

By general consensus, cooking was defined as a Science. The other standard was: If you hit it with an axe and it's destroyed - it's an art; if you hit it with an axe and it's still there/useable, it's a science.)* In the past decade (-ish), Arts & Sciences have been separated from Bardic, each having their own championship, with the teaching element often still present. This separated the performers from those doing pure study and recreating "things". Just recently, there has been a move among some branches to completely change how we look at this championship. In part, this has been in response to the growing number of people who are choosing to do "experimental archeology" and research papers, instead of researching and recreating objects which were or which might have been. >From a competition standpoint, trying to compare an entry from each of these categories is akin to the proverbial apple and orange. So what has been proposed, and even begun in some branches, is to further separate the A&S championship - but not along the traditional lines. Now, there may be (as Cunegonda has said), the scholar, the crafter and the performer. There are some definite pros to this from a competition standpoint. - everyone is going to have a spot where they better "fit". Strong researchers will not necessarily be in the same category as strong crafters. - can actually keep people competing earlier and longer as the competition may not require activities which are outside the entrants comfort zone. - has the Arts and Sciences nicely balance the fighting arts: 3 representatives for each. There are some definite cons as well. - with three champions, having enough entries to make the competition a competition and not an acclamation may be a challenge. - that's 3 bodies in court, not just 1. *(Could be addressed by sharing duties: each takes a 4 month term.)* - need better organisation for the competition - scholar entries will need to be in early to allow for advance reading by adjudicators. Dragonslaire has already completed one year and is into their second of this model. I have more detailed information on how they've done so in a Baronial setting if you would like to hear more?
