fasinating subject, as a used to be archeaologist, thier culture was not totally alien to ours, it fit thie times and nature of the land. our modren society has lost the connection to the land and gods that our ancestors held.

as to cannabilism, it makes more sense to make your prey walk back to camp then to run it down, kill it, and drag it back. At least the cases of sacrifice were not done just for the sake of eating human flesh. It may not make sense to us now, but it ran thier wolrd then and kept tham as safe as any set of beliefs does.

Thanks for the article.

ahh, who needs a reason for the aformentioned steak and bj, pick a day, pick a cut o meat,both varites and have a go....I still hate the annual crap of feb 14th so i like the march dates......interesting why have one day take all three..

So happy valentines late and here is to whaever pleasures take yer pyrating fancies til next year.

welcome aboard lad, a rum if'n ye please whils ye tell us the tale o yer name and said ruining, err wedding that got ye interested in pirates.

An aside to calico anne, Lass if'n he be a sailor lad to be sure tis nae the ones on his face

ne'er had invisable friends as a child, hell in my imaginary world even they would probably want to kill me. I find real tangible friends more pleasing.

1. I dont know what purpose the gods have for me as of yet, and they are not telling. Whal i have studied all my life is not the path i find myself on now, perhaps the teaching o my subject is how I can keep it going, or perhaps I am meant to learn from my students somthing that no one else can teach. The bottom line is yes.

2. Ideally, no I do not wish to be rememberd, I wish to fade from memory as quietly as I may touching those in life as they wish to let me, and causing no sorrow or grief at passing out of thier lives.

3. As I have said before there are two dates on a headstone, the date of birth and the date of death. What truely matters most is the way you used the dash in between them. As to longing for what is yet undone, death is just another part of the journy.

tis not unfortunate cap'n

some of the best finds are on the web........i just have not had alot of time to spare and wondered if there were some select resources to use. i will look up the texts you listed and thank ye much.

salty

silas ,

they looked better then my first attempt......as to the highs and lows of cuts and fits, i cant see the details, so they looked fyne for a first attepmt.

to ye and yer lady may ha'e faire winds and good trade til next we meet

salty

if you are doing brass eyelets you may want to stich ardound them with thread to hide the brass. you can also do stiching around the fabric istself to make the holes for lacing.

do you intent to spiral lace or cross lace them?

and where thte hell is "i did pick up a few patterns at fabric whorehouse" located and what be the types o fabrics that be whorin there?????? :angry: sorry could nae resist luv. the stays look fantastic

salty retreats here after a small tirade that wasn't meant to be one......

slides into an empty cushion plucks a glass of something off a tray as the cubana boy walks past and asks if any one minds the scent of a good pipe.

following on syrens post, and yes that is very good reason to get freaked out, sorry it happened syren. yes men are going to look and women are going to dress in a manner that will get men to look. The problem comes when they all forget that they are adults and should be understanding the dynamics that come with that. There is no harm in cat calls or remarks made and people are sometimes way to oversensitive about it....

what pisses me off is the cases where women dress provacitivly and then cry foul when a man makes a remark or a move. but also when a man excuses his behavoir by saying that he was driven to do so because she deserved it on account of how she was dressed. I read an article some time back about a young black woman who was completly blind and raped in a shopping mall. the judge threw out the case againt the male who raped her because he said she was dressed in a manner that provoked him to do so.... the lass was dressed in a pair of jeans and a baggy sweatshirt.

Point is it is easy to say someone overreacted...there may be a reason for it and excuseing it as expected behavior is not always right.

other then that hey there are times that it is no quarter asked or given, how you play is up to your temperment, maturity, and most of all PRATITUDE.

sorry for the soapbox it is just syrens relating her tale and my own expirences coming through.

i will retreat to the womens club for now and ne'er post in the mens territory

salty

taking a break from calculus, and diving into pirates pact it is reather odd to be reading two books at once that tackle the same subject almost to a fact

Bo,

i think yer lady would be right to clobber ye for the suggetion of a cycle.......but overly glad you are well enough and will heal up after all. heal well and take care

salty

incidently do the same proticals when selling jewelry need to occur for items you collect and make yourself?

for example, rocks you collect and then cut and polish

salty

ahoy again,

been away fer a bit but taking the time to review the posts i have missed since. looks like some interesting pieces are here or in the works.

one the subject of metal clay here is one of the books i mentioned but never posted PMC Decade: The First Ten Years of Precious Metal Clay another: Metal Clay: The Complete Guide Innovative Techniques to Inspire Any Artist

Author: Jackie Truty

And the one I purchased at a ceramics convetions 2 years ago: The Art of Metal Clay Author: Sherri Haab

I am looking for resouces for casting metal if anyones knows any books I amy look up.

ye ship's potter,

salty

ok, stratight forward.....

can anyone suggest books titles and authors if possible for researching and getting examples of period clothing or costume?????????? if this is posted elsewhere i am sorry i have been looking and not really finding. Thank you...

I am going to sit down with a seamstress friend and start working on another set of jumps, petticoats, and an apron.

I have 5 yrds of a light blue plaid wool that i am debating on making jumps or stays and a petticoat from. Some lovely cranberry red wool that will eventully end up as a set of stays and petticoat, embroidered to match in a blue colour. I dark merlot wool that i am going to have another bedjacket made from for those colder events. and an intereesting linen that is a tannish with purpe stripes vertical not horizontal ( thank you callenish). besides these projects I am hopeing just to learn my way around sewing enough to get them accomplished by end of summer.

the next project is an actual ball gown...... i shudder to even think on this one so any advice books or screaming saying not what to do is always grand.

the above pictures give alot to think about and come up with. thank you cap'n

salty

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

something else to drool o'er,,errrrrrr i mean research and find out about. they are most handsome examples of footwear. Although lady B has a point about the toe on the mules. I think the 1710 green shoe are most lovely, tis a pity not to have shoemakers such as those these days. Yes i know you can get cloth shoes from some vendors...but these are EXQUISIETTE to say the least thank you for posting about them.

care to site your source for the pictures?

salty

ach well days pass and more to come,may they do so quickly.....

as ta a sea farin mam an knots

aye there are pleasentries that follow going on accout

Ys Ship's Potter

salty

a grand sense o humour the lass has....

ye can trying finding similar items on ebay, have seen some pub measures on there of late.....since pilliging is out ye might as well do the modern equivelent of ebay pyracy....

asides my course materals of physics, chemistry, and calculus...th emammoth book of pirates to be closely followed by pirates pact or patriotic pirates

missing me twa lads....and wasting time til i can fall asleep....if'n not i'll resign the insominacs articles

ach well now

since the lads hae thier gathering place, thought i'd come see the insanity that be the lasses....and true to nature the opposite sex posts in the club.....tis all in grand fun

upon reading the first few posts salty pulls up a chair and lights up her pipe ta continue to clear the air.....aye lasses the lads dinae need all the fun and sets a fyne bottle o single malt scotch upon the table ta share a wee dram to cut the cold.

whilst the lads are looking fer thier balls, an always remeber lasses to carry three steel ball berings in your pockts, this way ye will hae more balls then any lad and they will be STEEL.

lasses i see a grand tyme awaits while the lads are away in thier own club

aye

tis fun to be out and about in kit

thinking on having two more sets of jumps made to teach in, great back support, and though the petticoats might be a bit much in a science classroom I can intergrate peices of attire into my everyday wear. sometimes it is far more comfotable to go about dressed it the clothes of a differnt age. I tend to wear ren shirts all the time because they are large and comfortable.

yep i agree it is fun just to see peoples reactions as well

Salty

As this is an opinion topic fyne i dislike the fact that people choose to deside that there are lines in the sand in this HOBBY.....yes there are few of us that make our living at this so it stands as a hobby. There is room for all sorts of folks, families, singles, men and women it does not matter, what matters is how you choose to adapt yourself to it.

That said it bothers me that there are people out there that think just because you are either PC or hollywood that you dont belong at events or in forums. that is why as i understand there are DIFFERENT forums on places like the pub.......there are places to discuss what your particular interests are and some for the coming together of the various and assundery points of veiw. if an event is PC then do the best you can to fit in, if it is a ren faire or day festival then dress to fit in there, but there are reasons that the different venues exsist.

the main point of my wondering is to say that I enjoy this hobby because of all the people I have gotten to meet both online and in real life.....so thanks to all who do what you do and keep going on it...

just me twa pence
