> > My Lords and Ladies,  in an earlier posting to this list, I sent a
> > missive to acquaint you with a new SCA-related resource,
> > http://scabusiness.com/, which was then still under construction.  It is
> > with great delight that I now announce that the construction is complete
> > and the resource is ready to use.  It has been created on behalf of
> > those of us who, no matter how active in the Society we may be, don't
> > necessarily know what modern-world skills our friends within in the
> > Society have.  This information is vital if one desires to give one's
> > custom first and foremost to others within the Society  rather than
> > calling upon a random individual from the modern world.   This resource
> > has been designed to be a comprehensive listing for all manner of
> > diverse skills, whether one needs one's roof repaired, requires
> > assistance compiling one's taxes, or needs a new hair  dresser.   It is
> > also designed to be a listing of SCA folk who have period skills for
> > hire, such as armorer, potter, or weaver.  Now that this resource is
> > fully functional it is searchable by location, type of skill, name of an
> > individual, or that of their business, or even by a keyword from within
> > the description of their business.  It is set up to allow customer
> > feedback about the businesses, both praise and cautions based upon
> > dealings with the businesses.
> >
> > In order that this listing be as complete as possible I have been
> > charged by its creator, Sir Colin MacLear, to spread the word that
> > people within our Society may know of it and may seek to add their names
> > to the electronic scroll.  We invite both businesses owned by SCA folk,
> > and SCA  people who have skills they are willing to hire (or barter) to
> > add their names and skills to the database.   We encourage SCA people to
> > look first to this source when they have a task they wish to hire
> > another to accomplish on their behalf.   While there is a modest fee
> > associated with adding one's name and/or business to the web page to
> > cover things like the costs associated with its development and
> > maintenance, there are no fees for accessing the database in search of
> > someone with the skills you require.  We grant permission to post this
> > missive onto other lists, that the word be further spread.  I thank you
> > for your attention to my words and draw them to a close now that your
> > normal list discussion may resume.

Celebrate who you are. After all, you can't be anyone else.
A friend comes and bails you out of jail - a True Friend is sitting next to 
you in the cell going, "Wow, that was fun!"
Speak softly and own a big, mean Doberman. -Dave Miliman
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are 
allowed to remain children all our lives.  -- Albert Einstein
