Goths siege Rome!
1669
Mount Etna erupts! The volcano in Sicily, active for 2.5 million years, recorded the most violent erruption in history. Over four months it spewed about 990,000,000 cubic yards of lava, destroying a dozen villages. The ashes formed a double cone more than 150 ft high, now called Monti Rossi. Workers dug a trench above the village of Catania in an attempt to divert the lava stream.

THE 3 LAWS OF FIGHTING
(Timeless wisdom from someone who's never won a Crown Tourney)
There are many schools of fighting and levels upon levels of techniques to be mastered. In this essay, I am not even going to attempt to address all that—- there’s too much of it and there are plenty of people far better than me at explaining the nuances of technique (not to mention executing them). What concerns me here are higher order “Laws” that transcend technique or even a particular school of SCA fighting. What I have attempted to do here is come up with those laws and keep the list short enough that even a fighter can remember them.

Note: Thnx Gilebert for digging that up!

Fiery European Festivals Today, we have two stories of fiery festivals in Europe, Up Helly Aa, a fire festival celebrated for over 130 years now in Scotland's Shetland islands, and the even older Feast of Saint Anthony the Great, in San Bartolome de Pinares, Spain, where residents ride their horses and mules through purifying bonfires.

THUR FP CANCELED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
This practice will be opposite Thursday night armouring so not to conflict with Armouring or other practices. We hope this will offer those fighters on the North Side of town a closer place to practice (Auburn Hills) and help us grow the Society and recruit from local colleges.
The best part about this site is that we have an opportunity to grow our relationship with the local church like we did with St. Charles. The church is large enough right now to run small events and sits on 7 acres and with good weather permits us to do MUCH more opportunity.
Practice Info:
Faith Church (going to be The River Church)
315 South Squirrel, Auburn Hills MI (right next to Church lumber yard)
Start Time 6:30pm - 7:00pm
1/28, 2/11, 2/25, 3/11, 3/25, 4/8, 4/22
Come on out and check the place out if you would like and there is lots of room to do projects as well.

Time Line Originals is a website out of the UK with a huge gallery of collectibles and works of art. The pleasure of collecting ancient art or coinage lies in the beauty of the antiquities themselves and in the long-term investment they represent.
Check them out!

Everyone who is interested in the Middle ages should listen to this! Everyone who is interested in the modern world should listen to this too.
An excellent history lesson on an important Medieval technology, and a lovely demonstration that "progress" in terms of history does not necessarily mean advancement.
