| == Daffodil, March 2006 == | | ==Uncategorized People== |
| * Add link to this event on [[Daffodil Tournament]]
| | When the link from the Kingdom OP to the Wiki for each person was added, we got (and continue to get) a lot of new people pages (yay!). Unfortunately, the baby wiki editors creating those pages don't know to add the <nowiki>[[Category:People]]</nowiki> code snippet to their page. |
| * create empty event page
| | If you have a moment, stop by the [[Special:Uncategorizedpages| Uncategorized Pages]] page and scan the list for any obvious people names and add the people category for them. |
| * Add raw data below to event page under heading "Event Copy"

Got the list down to 48 pages for now, until someone adds more content without categories. --[[User:Malkom1366|Malkom1366]] 15:20, 8 Jul 2008 (PDT) |

| |
| Greetings all,
| |
|
| |
| I wish to express my thanks and gratitude to all those who helped to make youth activities a success at the 40 Year Celebration.
| |
|
| |
| First off, to our marvelous instructors/sponsors- HL Fionnghuala inghean mhic Oitir, Alwynd McBride, Lady May de Blatha An Oir, Godith of Goosefoot Mead, HL Saikhan Naranaimorin, HL Angharad ver' Reynulf, Lady Mabel de Wymburn, Eithne of Blatha An Oir and Isabella of Wallingford,. From a medieval figure making class to a visit to meet the horses to making clay buttons, the children had a wide base of unique opportunities. My thanks to these busy ladies for their time and efforts.
| |
|
| |
| Next, to those who planned on volunteering... and those who simply stepped forward to help as needs arrived. Seirid, Tarna and Caidwen are ever the constant support without whom I could not function. And now to my real heroes- the parents who jumped in when hands grew short. Your assistance was invaluable- I really don't know what I would have done without you. To Countess Caia Snowden, Celeste Direwolf, Nancy Quade... and the many, many others who lent a hand, you have my sincerest gratitude.
| |
|
| |
| The Keep provided many wonderful activities at their "Festival of Fools." By all reports, a fantastic time was held by all.
| |
|
| |
| I apologize if I have inadvertently forgotten a name but your service and willingness to help the young ones amongst us shall never be forgotten.
| |
|
| |
| Finally, thanks to the Shire of Fire Mountain Keep, the Barony of Glymm Mere, and the fine autocrat, Countess Sineidin. It was a pleasure to serve with you.
| |
|
| |
| In Service,
| |
|
| |
| Lady Una Glamdottir

| I was there the final weekend and must say that it was a blast! I was camped
| |
| over between the equestrian arena and the court pavilion. During court on
| |
| Saturday it was really cool hearing cheers from the pavilion echo off the
| |
| mountainside behind us before the next cheer started.

| What a fabulous event it was! The site is absolutely gorgeous and *huge* -
| |
| plenty of room for whatever sort of expansion in the future. The water is
| |
| in and tastes fine. The Great Hall was hopping, the mead and ale flowing,
| |
| the food tasty. There were loads of merchants, a really good selection of
| |
| wares. (I'll never forget my first taste of pickled herring sushi - heh!)
| |
| The children seemed well occupied and happy (albeit the pipers were
| |
| exhausted - seems something more should be done to help them, yes). The
| |
| first couple of days were a bit wet and chilly, but there's unfortunately
| |
| nothing Baron Emiel can do about that... yet. :)
| |
|
| |
| Thank you to everybody who helped make this happen! I can't wait for
| |
| Autumnwar! :)

| One of the most amazing things about the site, I was camped about in the
| |
| center, and still I could hardly hear the loud parties going on in the NE
| |
| corner, the noisey camping. The quiet camping about a 1/4 of a mile further
| |
| down the way would have been very quiet indeed.

|
| |
| A few years back, an Egyptian director came out with a movie set
| |
| in Spain under the Caliphate and centered around the philosopher
| |
| Averroes. Here's the IMDB synopsis:
| |
|
| |
| The story is set in the 12th century in Arab-ruled Spanish province
| |
| Andalusia, where famed philosopher Averroes is appointed grand judge
| |
| by the caliph and his liberal court judgements are not liked by
| |
| everyone. The caliph's political rivals, centered around the leader of
| |
| a fanatical Islamic sect, force the caliph to send Averroes into
| |
| exile, but his ideas keep on living thanks to his students.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| On top of all that, it's a musical! There's a big dance number where
| |
| one character is trying to lure an old friend back from the
| |
| fundamentalists who are more or less brain-washing him and sings about
| |
| the joys of a life well-lived. It's quite wonderful.
| |
|
| |
| The director, Youssef Chahine, has run into trouble in his native
| |
| Egypt, due to his stand against religious fundamentalism. The movie
| |
| had a limited release in the US under the title "Destiny". It's
| |
| original Arabic title is "al-Massir"

| The Talisman with Rex Harrison as a sympathetic and

| "Saladin", an Egyptian made film
| |
| released in 1963. This
| |
| movie presents the Muslim side of the third Crusade,
| |
| more or less, and is as
| |
| biased in that direction as the Hollywood
| |
| productions are biased toward the
| |
| Crusades.
