A recent study by Stanford University has concluded that farting can help you to shed some of those unwanted pounds. One fart burns 67 calories, so if a person farts 52 times then they can effectively burn 1 pound of unwanted fat.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(2, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #020000; font-size: 14px;">
In addition to that, Hydrogen Sulfide, the chemical compound that gives farts their awful smell may actually be good for you. The chemical compound is toxic in large enough quantities, but in small doses it gives cells just what they need to protect mitochondria.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(2, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #020000; font-size: 14px;">
Dr. Matt Whiteman of the University of Exeter says that diseased cells draw in enzymes to create small quantities of the compound, which helps keep the mitochondria going and the cell alive. Basically if the mitochondria quit the cell dies.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(2, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #020000; font-size: 14px;">
According to their study protecting mitochondria could be a key factor in preventing and reversing the effects of many conditions including heart disease, diebetes, dementia, and stroke. Some scientist is the UK are beginning to say that Hydrogen Sulfide might be the new health care hero of the 21st century.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(2, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #020000; font-size: 14px;">
In fact they are developing a new compound called AP36, which will help to ensure that mitochondria receive Hydrogen Sulfide.</div>

“People say it is rude. But it’s your life, not theirs. If they want to be overweight and die early, that’s their choice. But if you want to live long, fart long,” explained Robert Hingle, lead researcher at Stanford University.</div>

That didn't stop me and my fellow warriors from having fun. We still battled between the stop and go spats of rain slipping and falling in wet grass and mud. Needless to say it was a blast.<br />
Afterwards when I got home I started feeling a tickle in my throat. The tickle turned into a cough, the cough brought his friend sneezy along for the ride, sneezy of course brought gobs of gross yellow goo, and before I knew what was what I was in a world of hurt. I had the full blown thing going on by then headache, stomach churning, throat burning, and pretty much aching all over.<br />
Now at this point many people have the knee jerk reaction to go to the doctor, and that isn't a bad choice but it does cost money. I grew up in a house that didn't believe in running to the doctor every time we got a boo boo or a sniffle. That doesn't mean suffer with illness until it gets so bad that you end up in the hospital either. There are some good common sense steps to take when dealing with illness and minor injury. Now mind you I am not a doctor, but the stuff I am about to outline is more common sense stuff than medical in nature. If you feel like your illness is serious by all means go to the doctor, but if it is just a minor boo boo or a sniffle save your money and take these steps. Even if you choose to go to the doctor following these common sense steps can expedite your recovery and compliment your doctors treatment very well.<br />
I like to think of my body like a walled city when I am ill or injured. The city is surrounded by an army of germs that want to get in and destroy it. ("But wait," you say, "You are already ill or injured. The germs are already inside.") If you ever watch a movie about a siege the enemy is trying to breach the walls, sneak in the gate, or climb over the wall with a small force to damage or destroy the enemies defenses. The soldiers of the city find themselves fighting both inside and outside the city. It is more difficult to deal with than just focusing on the problem of ridding the body of its invaders.<br />
So one thing that I do while ill or injured is pay extra attention to hygiene. It seems simple enough but when I am sick often don't feel like getting out of bed. I know that I am feverish and sweating. I can smell my own B.O. I'm coughing up gobs of disgusting goo or maybe even vomiting. All of this is natural. It is your bodies internal defenses attempting to drive the invaders out of the city but it is also terribly messy and it weakens our external defenses. So I help things along. I take showers, I brush my teeth, floss, and I use antiseptic mouth wash to kill the germs. If I have open wounds I keep them clean and use triple antibiotic ointment on them. Basically I do every thing I can to stop the army of germs outside of my body from getting in through my weakened defenses.<br />
I get lots of rest and I try to keep warm. It might not seem like it but your body is working overtime to rid itself of disease. It takes a lot of energy, which is one reason that people often lose weight while they are ill.<br />
I pay attention to nutrition and hydration. Often when I am ill I don't want to eat. Especially if I am vomiting. I drink lots of fluids and eat something if I can keep anything down. Sometimes this can be a challenge if the stomach is not cooperating. I find the BRAT diet to be effective when dealing with an upset stomach. Bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast are a bland diet that is easy to keep down. I'm also a fan of chicken noodle soup. Just remember the troops are fighting inside your city and they need plenty of water and nutrients to keep them going. Drinks that contain electrolytes are also a good idea. Take care of the troops and they will take care of you.<br />
I let my bodies natural defenses work normally. A lot of people freak out when they get a fever. I don't. A fever is the bodies response to disease. It raises its core temperature in an attempt to kill the bacteria with heat. So I monitor my fevers and let them run their course unless they start to climb to high. I'm not against using medications like tylenol, but I won't take them until my temperature rises above 101. Why that temperature you may ask. Well my reasoning is that a temp of 103 is considered dangerous. At 103 the brain can be damaged if it continues to long. If temperature is climbing then it can take a while for meds to kick in so I get preemptive and take something as soon as it climbs above 101.<br />
If the body is a walled city the mouth is the front gate. I know that I have talked a little already about oral hygiene but I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to guard the front gate so to speak. Good oral hygiene goes a long way toward maintaining good health. I want to talk specifically about using mouth wash and gargling. I find that when I have lots of nasty goo from drainage that gargling Hydrogen Peroxide not only disinfects but also helps to break things loose. Hydrogen Peroxide eats mucus so I find that when I gargle it it tends to allow me to evacuate the stubborn stuff that I have been trying to cough up.<br />
I also clean out the sinuses. I use a waterpik sinusense to do this. I used to have a lot of trouble with sinus infections before I found out about this but not anymore. The sinusense shoots a stream of saline solution into the nasal passage which flushes out the entire passage. This keeps the nasal passage clean and prevents infectious drainage from getting into the throat. Follow the manufacturers recommendation if you decide to pick one up.<br />
Cuts and scrapes can become entry points for infection. It is super important to keep wounds clean, bandaged, and dry. When I say dry I'm not talking about the act of washing but of long term exposure to moisture. Triple antibiotic ointment and antiseptics like Hydrogen Peroxide or alcohol are useful tools for accomplishing this. An untended wound that becomes infected should be considered a serious issue. I recommend seeking medical attention if this ever happens to you.<br />
Well that is about all that I have to say about the topic. I know that with the weather turning cold that flu and cold season sets in. Just remember to take care of your self. Have a happy thanksgiving.<br />

I forgot my garb. That's right I found myself 2 hours from the house and already running late for the event and nothing to wear. I considered going home and calling it a disappointment. I thought about going in and see if a friend had a loaner, but a very simple and inexpensive solution came to mind. I rolled into Walmart and bought a yard of the cheapest fabric they had and a pair of scissors. So for right around $4 I was able to create a very simple Tabard. No it wasn't pretty. After all I just split the fabric in half and made a place for my neck to go through by tying it back together at the corners. In retrospect buying 2 yards would have been better. Then i could have just cut a neck hole and used it. Either way I hid my street clothes and got to fight on.Capitalismizawesomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09015731935472289740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063603089958046989.post-35976688176485977772015-09-23T17:47:00.003-07:002015-09-23T17:47:40.808-07:00Were the Vikings victims of propaganda?<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>During the ninth and tenth centuries Europe was plagued by invasions. Magyars from the east, Muslims from the south, and Vikings from the north put a great deal of pressure on European civilization. Vikings showed remarkable ingenuity expanding north into Russia, the continent of North America, England, Italy, and even to Constantinople.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>While they most certainly could be savage, they were not just savages. They had a rich culture and were highly adept at trade. The tools and tactics used by vikings were complex and effective. The long ships they utilized were well designed capable of both handling the high seas and of navigating inland on rivers. They were faster and more maneuverable than anything any one else had on the water at the time.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>They showed no preference between trade, piracy, or raiding. They often did not invade with the goal of conquering and occupying territory. Rather they seemed motivated by profit and would utilize whatever method was best afforded to them by a given opportunity to gain it. They had a knack for striking at the most vulnerable targets at the most opportune time, then vanishing before the local authority could muster their forces to respond.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Vikings plundered places where money and goods could be found and being non-Christians had no problem with targeting churches and monasteries. Churches at the time were rich in precious metals that were difficult to find else where so they became prime targets for the Vikings. The clergy were among the few who could read and write during this period so their writings would often paint Vikings in the worse light possible.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Clergy described their attacks as horrific and disastrous. They described Viking warriors as barbaric, violent, and evil. Many of the images that carry on to this day are a result of these writings like the depiction of the Viking with horns on his helmet going so completely berserk in battle that he would kill both friend and foe in his battle frenzy or the description of the blood eagle as a form of ritualized execution. This was an obvious attempt to demonize the Viking with the addition of horns and indiscriminate blood lust. Today their is debate about whether any of these depictions had any basis in reality.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>While Vikings most certainly could be savage and brutal they were not alone in this. The same could be said of any of Europe’s invaders and of the local lords and kings. Obviously the tales of Clerics were biased propaganda designed to paint the Viking in the worse light possible. One good example deals with the town of Dorestad which clergy blamed the Viking for removing from the trade route, but which we now know historically happened because the river changed course.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Viking raids most certainly hurt communities in the short term, but in the long term some believe they aided in Europe’s recovery. The precious metals the church’s had been hoarding were minted into coins and put back into the economy. The trade routes that they opened helped to spread all of that coin around. Many communities that had degenerated into barter trade (a system which offers no room for economic growth) for lack of coin suddenly found themselves with new opportunities open to them. This eventually opened opportunities for intercontinental trade that helped to revitalize Europe’s economy.</div>
<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>So while it is true that Viking raids did destroy trade centers and cause destruction, they also built new trade centers that were superior to the one’s they displaced. While it may seem barbaric to raid churches they took precious metals being hoarded by the church and reintroduced them back into the economy and they managed to reopen trade with the east that had collapsed with the fall of the Roman Empire. Yes, the Vikings had their faults but they were not the depraved, the ignorant savages often depicted in imagery. </div>

<br />
Frivolous lawsuits have become all the rage across America. Maybe the best answer is Trial by Combat. Let's see if they have the stones to get medieval in their pursuit of greed. My guess is that if more people demanded this then there wouldn't be so many frivolous lawsuits. No one is willing to put their life on the line if they know what they are going after is bull crap in the first place.Capitalismizawesomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09015731935472289740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063603089958046989.post-90272879173835915762015-08-12T06:41:00.004-07:002015-08-12T06:41:32.077-07:00Draw your sword<br />

<div>
I was on Dagohir unmoderated the other day when I attempted to answer this ladies question about the difference between Dagorhir and Belegarth. What happened was real interesting. The thread was hijacked by a discussion about the fate of non-combatants in a game that is typically dominated by combat alone. The truth is that we all have people in our lives that don't live for combat, but we care about them and want them to be able to enjoy them selves as well.

Tiffini-On a serious note, though, as someone who cross-games both, the differences are very minor. Grappling rules are different (them: equal armor can initiate grapple, us: any armor at all cannot initiate grapple). There's two or three others, but I can't remember them right now.<br />

Dexter-Dagorhir is a fighting game with a drinking problem; Belegarth is a drinking game with a fighting problem. Both of them, however, are gay and you should avoid them at all costs.<br />

There are hardcore fighting units in both games, just as there are hardcore partying units in both. Main thing is where you live. There is a certain style to fighting on the east </span><br />
<br />
Josh-There is also a difference in tactics, bel tends to focus on being a good single fighter while dag tends to focus on having the best unit that works together. Flails seem to be more common in bel than in dag but that's more of a regional thing. Both groups are ill informed of the other on average.<br />
<br />
Chris-The biggest difference is Dagorhir doesn't feel the need to constantly remind Bel it exists on their boards.<br />
<br />
Nathan-Facebook killed the feud. Back in the day Dag put a block on PMs for members for fear that Bel would steal all Dag's members. Then we found Facebook and said fuck you. And (big surprise here) people still play Dag. Most involved in the split politics no longer hold any official position of power in DBGA. Bel doesn't have power in the same way anyway.<br />
<br />
Steve-The big difference is that nobody really freaking cares and there are maybe two or three rules differences that actually influences play. Spear Flex in one game is 45 while the other is 90, Shield Checking Quadrant(???) is slightly different (rear checking? I don't remember halp), and No Healing Poem in bel, as far as I remember.<br />
<br />
Lindsay-For unmod, this has been surprisingly helpful.<br />

<br />
Shannon-lets see what the "official" take is yeah? As of right now, the websites state that Dagorhir: combines fast-paced full-contact combat simulation with elements of live action role-playing. Dagorhir combines elements of both history and fantasy. Dagorhir is both a sport and a game. Dagorhir’s participants experience their fantasies on a variety of levels. where as belegarth is: Belegarth Medieval Combat Society is a fun, safe, and inexpensive sport where participants wear medieval or fantasy-themed clothing and fight with foam-padded weapons. So I guess one could say, the focus is different? /shrug.<br />
<br />
Gam-Fought in both for years. Been a realm leader in both. The rule differences are arbitrary at most. <span data-reactid=".4o.1:5:1:$comment989332407757576_989401671083983:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body.0.0">The real difference is administrative.

Ryan-....you've never seen me....I ran around rag screaming I aint gay but i'll suck that dick for a solid two days of rag<br />
<br />
Dan-Biggest difference is that Dag has a prolific unmod board.<br />
<br />
Lane-The actual reason for the split was that Kegg and company insisted that Aratar and Graymael hand over their personal copyrights to the new Dagorhir board that they wanted to set up. Kegg was bent out of shape that the edition of the rules he spent all winter rewriting and organizing was just an edition/revision of Graymael's MoA.<br />

Khan-Stuff happened before 80% of fighters started fighting the games are the same. Oh wait, this is unmod..... Bel has real fighters and Dag is a bunch of RP queers (did I unmod correctly?)<br />

Gamhain-Rule of thumb: Is there a foam fighting event nearby? Cool. Go to it, hit people, and drink beer.<br />

Krista-What this guy said. ^^^<br />

Mike-Not much the split was over politics and most people don't even remember why. The rules are virtually the same save for a few minor differences<br />

Chris-Craig there are plenty of games that focus on larpy stuff. I suggest playing those for the extras you want. Dag has always been about fighting and I don't see an issue with it. In fact the extras kinda stagnate our growth amongst mundanes who would sword fight but don't want to play dress up. I feel the activities we currently have are great and any extra would set us back.<br />

Chris-Also your individual unit is free to delve as deep into whatever you can think of so where there is a will there is a way<br />

Craig-Okay. I get what the majority seems to feel. I will treat it appropriately and only attend local fighter practices as a way of getting some excercise. Pity that I only get one outlet for my creativity.<br />

I'm sure that she is not alone in that opinion. I guess the best way of dealing with this is for the non-coms to build their own community that does things that non-coms like to do.

Hawk-Personally, I feel as though we should all be trying to figure out ways to entertain noncoms, while this is a fighting game, fighters with significant others who don't fight, fall out because their mate has no interest.

Jake-We could always pull more focus to the arts and sciences. Or we could gather some coin and raise some bleachers for the onlookers to have a proper seating. (that'd be pretty great, especially for photographers and familys)<br />
<br />
Gamhain-A&S idea is more what I was thinking. Give non-coms some actual activities to engage in, rather than just getting a sunburn while their SO dork-fights.s Masque Beltannia does this spectacularly. They have maypole dances, balefires, May Queen pageant, dancing, games…. If you take Dagorhir, and add even just a DASH of Ren-Faire activities, we will bring in (and keep) SO many more people.<br />
<br />
Nik-Have you watched nerds fight? It's not that interesting if you aren't a fighter yourself. "Gather some coin" LOL you're talking to the wrong group. Mention a $3 hike in Rag fees and people lose their shit and say attendance will plummet.<br />
<br />
Jake-Yeah it's pretty pathetic. People en masse' don't seem to want to put any money towards their hobby.<br />
<br />
Nik-There's a reason that SCA maintains members for decades, it's because there's shit to do other than wreck and poison your body. Mind you, there's plenty of wrecking and poisoning. But at the end of the day that's only so fulfilling.<br />
<br />
Jake-I totally agree. There is, and can be, so much more to this culture that can, and should, be separately focused on. We can only lead by example though and I feel like in small steps we're kind of getting towards that, in some cases. For instance, and I know these are small things, plastidipping, That was rare 5 years ago now we're stepping up our game in that regard. That and some campsites are really putting their best foot forward to improving the look and feel of the game. Certainly we can't crack the whip but I think we can all take these notes to heart and lead by example. Improve your game. Get gud, and more will follow.<br />

<br />
Gamhain-Only real reason I'm still in Dag 100% is because I really, really like shield-bashing. If SCA allowed it, or EMP was on the East Coast, y'all knaves would only see my dust cloud as I ride my merchant caravan into the sunset. That's exactly what we're saying. Dag peeps grow up.

<br />
Chris-Why can't they stay home? But like Craig said what do I know? Lol<br />
<br />
Mike-There are things that I love about SCA and there are things that I love about Dag/Bel. I prefer the fighting in Dag/Bel, pretty much because I'm older and wearing all that armor hurts my knees. I like that I can throw on a tunic, go out on a field, and beat on nerds with foam. It is fun, It is simple. I'm not running off to the SCA but I do enjoy many of those people so I just cross game a bit.<br />

Or if you want to party and fight, that's fine. More power to you. The problem is that the 20-something stick jock crowd seems almost adamantly against any efforts to improve the game or to add content beyond that level. You have people with zero interest in making an immersive or even interactive experience for fellow players. They just want to get out and hit people with sticks to show how awesome they are at stick-hitting. Some of them even go out of the way to NOT look period and try to pass it off as "safety" and "fantasy", with little basis in either.</span><br />
<br />
Finney-Gamhain; the solution is simple. If she has a hobby you're not invested in, make it a point to give her a kids-free weekend so that she can pursue it in peace. You both get your hobbies, you're not making each other endure boredom for the sake of the other<br />
<br />
Gamhain-^ Dag has a lot of intentional douchebags.... Dagbags? Douchorhir?<br />
<br />
Nik-Entire units devoted to not looking fantasy or medieval. Maybe they're worried about looking like nerds while they hit people with foam swords.<br />
<br />
Nik-I'm not married cause I don't deal with that. I think two people should want the other to do what makes them happy. Call me crazy lol but more power to you. That compromise sounds about right though.<br />

Finney-Logic dictates that if you want to participate in a hobby that your significant other doesn't enjoy, you should be willing to reciprocate and take the burden off of them so that they can engage in their hobbies, too. Being married with kids isn't the end of having fun, compromise exists. That being said, I understand not wanting to be separated two weekends a month and wanting to draw in your spouse and spend more time with them doing what you enjoy. But you can't force anybody to enjoy everything you do, and when that's the case... compromise! Yaaaaay, I did it y'all, I figured it out. Pack up and go home.<br />
<br />
Mike-Well every cultural change begins with a change in thought. First we need to quit thinking that all there is, is bashing people with foam. Second we can make baby steps in the right direction. It won't happen over night.<br />
<br />
Nik-Maybe your family is different. For mine, weekends are when we get to see each other. That means we both end up doing things sometimes that aren't our favorite so that we can spend time together. If there are activities available that make the time more interesting for the other person, it makes the day that much more enjoyable for everybody.<br />
<br />
Chris-Like what? Lol examples? I'm thinking better children activities is where to start. Grown nerds can fend for themselves<br />

Yes, combat is the primary focus and purpose of Dagorhir BATTLE Games, but organizers for weekend campout events should at least put some thought and effort into non-com activities.</div>

Mike-Well I've seen that a lot just from broaching the topic. There are a lot of stick jocks that want to keep it a stick jock game.</div>

Sasha-but if the Event Coordinator has said "There will be classes." what are they going ot say? and who will listen to them?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
and, frankly, this thread is the most of that i've seen at all. i see folks saying "No one will attend classes." but that's different than saying "Don't hold/attend classes.”</div>

also, being a fighter, he tore some of his fighting garb during the week. he can't sew and refuses to try to learn. so rather than fixing it himself, he bought me dinner and drinks to do it for him. it probably would have been better for all parties, and certainly cheaper for him, had he been able to do it himself, but i won't complain about being treated to meals.</div>

Sasha-keep in mind, Gates of Fire is traditionally the last weekend of April. two weeks between campouts is a good buffer, most people can't swing just one week apart.</div>

Medieval Combat Makes a Comeback</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
Medieval combat is an unconventional sport that has been gaining popularity in recent years. Louisville is well known for its achievements in sports such as basketball and football. However, it may soon gain recognition for the rise in sword fighting and weekly duels at local parks. The Belegarth Medieval Combat Society has one chapter in Louisville called Dun Abhon.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
On a warm, sunny Sunday, a broad array of individuals can be found at the park. Joggers, frisbee throwers, and dog walkers can be spotted. The Belegarth group meets in the heart of Cherokee Park, at Frisbee field. They provide ample entertainment to passersby and encourage park patrons to get involved. The leader of the group, Andy Schwartz, welcomes everyone to join in on their battles. He offers his weapons and knowledge of the rules and guidelines to people new to the sport.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
Essentially, the sport is exactly what it sounds like. People dress up in medieval garb, make their own fake weapons to match the look and feel of the Middle Ages, and battle. There are several categories of medieval combat that fall on a scale. Andy Schwartz or “Coach,” leader of the local Belegarth chapter, said, “On the far end of the scale you have ultra-realism and hardcore fighting; the SCA, Society of Creative Anachronism, these guys go all out with historical accuracy and everything. They use pretend wood; they have to wear a 14 gauge steel helmet minimally because the head’s a target. Our game slides a little bit more down. It’s full contact but entirely predicated on foam weapons.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
On the opposite end of the scale is LARP, Live Action Role Play. “Larpers are more about the story and less about the combat,” said Aaron Mackison, a former SCA fighter and current member of the Belegarth group. “The combat is still there, but it’s very rule-based and gentle. I can’t touch you with more than a light tap. My body has to make no direct contact with your body.” Belegarth falls into the middle of the scale, because members do not have particular character roles. However, they do incorporate period-style weaponry and attire. Unlike SCA, helmets are not required, and head shots are not allowed. LARP attendees play out a story with little to no aggression, while Belegarth groups play an aggressive sport that promotes physical fitness.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
Dun Abhon originally practiced Dagorhir, a different form of medieval combat, before switching to Belegarth. The group was created by David Peters in 1996. After Peters moved to New York, the realm was abandoned for several years. Schwartz, who had been one of the original members, brought the sport back in 2001 by inspiring his students to get involved.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
Schwartz used to work as an English teacher at Iroquois High School. At the time, he was helping students organize a production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The students were having trouble connecting with the material so, in an attempt to motivate the cast, he brought in his weapons and costumes for them to use during battle scenes. The students’ interest in medieval combat grew instantly, and they encouraged Schwartz to reform the group with their help. Schwartz also used to coach soccer at the same high school and some of his old players joined the Belegarth group as well. They began to meet on school grounds but were soon asked to find another location. After trying out a few different spots, the group settled on Cherokee Park as their home base.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
Since the group was reformed, it has grown to include over one hundred members. The Louisville chapter is not licensed, but the group believes this is more beneficial than problematic. The main problem with not having a license would be if someone were to become seriously injured while playing. The group is confident that their rules, precautions, and honor system are effective in keeping members safe. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
The rules and guidelines for battle are simple. Schwartz said, “The three main things are safety, playability, and realism in that order. Some of us do historical, some of us do fantasy. So realism is far down the end.” Since safety is the group’s first priority, Schwartz has set a standard weight limit and practicality test that each weapon must pass. Each foam weapon must match the approximate weight that the weapon would weigh if it were real. Schwartz tests each member’s weapons before battle using a long wooden board to measure them.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
Making weapons is part of the fun of medieval combat. There is a sense of satisfaction that players acquire when wielding their self-crafted blades in battle. Each individual has creative license over their weapons as long as they pass Schwartz’ safety tests. Swords are the most commonly made weapon, but some players craft more daring tools including daggers, spears, shields, staffs, and arrows. Alex Kingsley, one of the group’s archers, said, “The arrows we use aren’t as aerodynamic as the real thing, because we have to follow safety precautions to make sure they’re safe to use.” Real arrows are used, but the tip is removed and replaced with duct tape and foam padding.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
The most common technique used for making a weapon is to start with a core. Typically fighters will use either a PVC pipe or fiber glass as the core. Dap or rubber cement can be used to hold parts of the weapon together. The next step is to purchase camp foam and cut it into box-shaped slices that will securely fit around the core. Duct tape may be used to secure the piece and common cloth is used as a cover.</div>

There are different styles and techniques used on the Belegarth battle field. Group members often trade tips and tricks with each other to help the group improve as a whole. Noah Cragsworth O’Toole, one of the more advanced fighters in the group, said, “I became aware of the group back when I was around 16, in the year 2000. A friend of mine told me about this group that stayed after school hours to run around the gym and hit each other with foam swords. This sounded like a dreadfully awful idea to me, and so I ignored it until about a year after I had graduated.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
O’Toole uses distraction and misdirection to stun his opponents in battle. One of his signature moves is to hold up two blades beside his head so that other players cannot tell how long his weapons are. When someone is gullible enough to come near him, he uses the longer of the two blades to attack.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
Braedon Kincaid, another Belegarth group member, said, “The Bele group is a bunch of people with a common vision playing a game that allows them to bring that vision to life. It allows everyone to take their favorite aspects of fantasy and apply it to one of the friendliest and most accepting communities out there.” Braedon first joined the group in 2007 after a friend told him he had found a group of sword fighters in the park one day. They went to visit and watch a battle and ended up joining in. He said, “After getting beat up for four hours, I realized that it was an amazing activity.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
Many group members also stumbled upon the group in a similar fashion. Mackison happened upon the group by mistake while searching for a group of SCA fighters who chose to meet in Cherokee Park one weekend. Mackison was weary that the SCA group would not admit him, because he did not have the required head gear for the game. When he first saw the Belegarth group fighting, he said to his father, another former SCA fighter, “Dad, look! I can fight without a helmet!” Ever since, he has become a weekly attendee. He even met his wife Bekah through the Belegarth group’s online forum. They regularly attend Belegarth and LARP events together.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
Schwartz, the group leader, greets all newcomers in the same fashion. He first asks if they are interested in joining. Next, he asks them to hit his back with a foam weapon. In most cases, people will not hit him forcefully on their first try so he encourages them to hit him as hard as they can. After they do this, he tells them that is what the sport is all about.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
The game follows a point system based on five target areas including arms, legs, and torso. If a player is hit in the arm by an opponent, they must place that arm behind their back. If a leg is hit, the player must go down on one knee and either stay in one spot or hobble across the field. If two limbs are struck during battle, the player is out for that round. One blow to the torso results in instant death. When a player is killed in a round, it is customary for them to raise their weapon above their head to indicate that they are out for that round.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
There are various types of battle that the Belegarth group adheres to, including cutthroat, capture the flag, and team battle. Cutthroat means every man for themselves. The two remaining fighters left on the field become team leaders for the next round of battle in which the group is divided into two opposing teams. Capture the flag is similar to team battle, but players must capture the flag from their opponents’ side of the field.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
While most battles are held weekly at Cherokee Park, many members venture out-of-state to participate in larger annual events. Some of these events host over 200 players. One of the biggest competitions is held in Tennessee on the first weekend in May. There is an entry fee for admittance into these events that typically covers camp fees, meals for the competitors, and equipment for building obstacles and paths. Some events do not cover food or housing so members of each realm tend to pitch in as a group for lodging and meals.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px;">
The Louisville Belegarth chapter continues to expand and incorporate new fighting styles and games to keep members on their toes. They host weekly gatherings at Cherokee Park every Sunday at 2:00 pm. The standard age restriction is 16 years and older. The group provides new members with a sense of familial hospitality. They offer participants the opportunity to step into another world. Each player achieves self-satisfaction regardless of how well they play because the sport promotes friendship, exercise, progression, and, above all, honor. The dedication and time put into this group are signs that medieval combat is making a comeback.</div>

I rained so much in fact that we had severe thunderstorms and flash flooding. Still even with all that going on when we did get a clear moment the fighting was off the chain, the night life was fantastic, and the people who attended were some of the greatest people I have ever met.<br />
Con: Like with any large event there are both pro's and cons. The biggest con of course being the rain, but anyone that has camped much can attest that rain happens sometimes. It is impossible to plan large events around the weather. One can't just postpone an event until next week. This con really applies to any event. They are all at the mercy of weather you just have to watch the reports and take your chances. Of course this was a bit more rain than your average event since we ended up with knee deep water through the middle of our camp.<br />

I did prove my mad fire building skills though by building a fire with wet wood in the middle of of a raging flood. How many people can say they can do that?<br />
Pro: The biggest pro in favor of Rag is the field battles. It boasts some of the largest field battles in either Dagohir or Belegarth. The warriors go all out with their armor, costumes, shields, and weaponry displaying not only top notch workmanship, but in some cases even organizing entire units with similar costume.<br />

The field boasted a very well built realistic looking castle, and had extensive hay bail structures used for bridge and siege battles.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Con: The con to this is that parking was limited. With so many people in the park the officials would not allow anyone to keep their car at their campsite. It required people to walk long distances to reach the battle field, weapons check, merchants row, the parking lot, etc. One of my biggest complaints about this is that I feel it was a safety hazard. The park experienced flash flooding. We had to walk over a mile to our truck then drive back to camp through the flooding to get people then back out through the flooding to evacuate. I can see a lot of different scenarios where not having access to a vehicle in a life or death situation could quite simply get someone killed. I understand the officials reasoning behind this. They don't want vehicles every where distracting from the event and taking up space, but I think that a slight modification to their policy would be wise. Let each camp have one vehicle and make the rest park out front. Then just tell people that they cannot drive over to weapons check. It is a simple compromise that could save a life in the future.<br />
Pro: The nightlife and the people that attended Rag are awesome. There was something going on every night rain or not. There even was a carnival with games and entertainment. There were parties. Lets face it if you put a few thousand people with good imaginations together in one place and ask to figure out a way to have fun they will dream something up.<br />

<br /></div>
Con: All that nightlife means not much sleep.<br />
Pro: Merchants row at Rag is amazing, and by amazing I spent way to much there. They had more than one weapon distributor. trinkets, garb, food, drinks, collectibles, etc. You name it if it was related to Bel and Dag it could be found there.<br />

<br /></div>
Con: It is a big event in a big place. That basically means that to get anywhere required a lot of walking.<br />
Pro: The park is gorgeous. It boasts a lovely lake right in the middle of it with campsites all around.<br />
Con: There is limited shower and bathroom access.<br />
Pro: They had portable bathrooms everywhere and they were kept clean regularly.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
In the early 1340's an outbreak of bubonic plague broke out in China. It mainly affected rodents, but fleas transmitted the disease to people and once that happened, they began to infect others transmitting person to person. The plague causes fever and a painful swelling of the lymph glands, which is how it gets its name. The disease also causes spots on the skin that are red at first and then turn black.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
China was one of the world's most extensive trade nations. The outbreak of plague in China spread to western Asia and Europe traveling with infected rats on ships and caravans. In 1347, several Italian merchant ships returned from a trip to the Black Sea, one of the main ports in the journey between Italy and China. When the ships docked in Sicily, many of those on board were already dying of plague. Within days the disease spread to the city and the surrounding countryside. The people realized what had happened and they drove the Italians from their city. But they were to late. The disease had already infected their city. It quickly laid waste to their city.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The disease struck and killed people with terrible speed. The Italian writer Boccaccio said its victims often "ate lunch with their friends and dinner with their ancestors in paradise."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Many scholars believe that the song "Ring around the Rosy" was written about symptoms of the black death. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Within a years time the plague had spread as far north as England, where people called it "The Black Death." The Black Death spread across Europe, and Medieval medicine had nothing to fight it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In winter the disease would seem to disappear, because the fleas which spread the disease became dormant. Each spring, the plague would resurface, claiming new victims. Within five years nearly a 1/3 of Europe's population was destroyed. After 1350 the disease slowed it progress but smaller outbreaks continued until finally the disease disappeared in the 1600's. For almost 300 years people lived in terror of this deadly disease. It is believed that improved hygiene and modern sanitation contributed to ending this plague.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Medieval society never fully recovered from the results of the plague. There were serious labor shortages all over Europe. By the end of the 1300s peasant revolts happened in England, France, Belgium and Italy over wage disputes. </div>

Wooden chests are pretty pricey but I found this plastic chest at Lowes for $30. It is water resistant and big enough to fit all of my garb, and it has a handy carry handle. In a nutshell it is great for camping extended events.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I added contact paper to give it the appearance of being made out of wood. I found that the paper doesn't like to stay down so I sprayed super 33 on it to reinforce the sticky back of the contact paper. The whole thing only took me about an hour to decorate. Here is the finished product. I figure that just about anything could be decorated in this manner. I plan to do a cooler next. Enjoy.</div>

It is a prison of the mind, which uses guilt for bars and peer pressure for guards. Richard Lovelace once wrote a poem To Althea, From Prison about a man who believed that even though his body was in prison, his mind was still free. It makes me wonder what do you say of a people who's bodies are free but their minds are not?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span class="bqQuoteLink" style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span class="bqQuoteLink" style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px;">Potter Stewart said, "</span><a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/p/potterstew104481.html?src=t_censorship" style="color: black; line-height: 26px; text-decoration: none;" title="view quote">Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself.</a>"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And Henry Louis Gates said, "<a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/h/henrylouis170370.html?src=t_censorship" style="background-color: white; color: black; line-height: 26px; text-decoration: none;" title="view quote">Censorship is to art as lynching is to justice.</a>"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We live in a country that is supposed to be a culture of freedom, a shining citadel of truth and justice, a great dream of potential as people are allowed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In many places through out the world people groan under the yoke of injustice. Their life and liberty are playthings to be taken away at the whim of tyrants and dictators for their petty amusement and happiness is such a fleeting dream that many of them fear to ever hope in glimpsing it through the misery that is their existence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It is difficult for many to comprehend that such a life even exists coming from the point of view of having lived such a blessed existence. And then we allow our minds to be shackled by fear and guilt. We allow our prosperity to be preyed by upon by the parasites of debt and those who adhere willingly to this prison of thought are more than willing to act as guards to ensure that no one escapes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div style="display: inline;">
I recently started a discussion on our Facebook Page Louisville Belegarth about the need for eye, knee, and hand protection during fighting. I have worked in construction for many years, I have a family and I can tell you that a serious injury can be life changing not just for me but for anyone. I have seen some pretty terrible things happen to people doing construction work. It is a dangerous business and it is a business often associated with people that regularly wear safety gear like hardhats, safety glasses, reflective vests, etc. There is a reason for that. This type of equipment has proven effective at reducing the severity of injury and/or preventing it entirely. Below is my original post on Facebook as well as the response of all of my very talented and competitive friends that I fight with in Belegarth. Please share your opinion. It is my hope that this will at least raise awareness and that I will start seeing more players using safety equipment in the future.</div>

Just a point of discussion, but I think that it would be a good idea if Belegarth required players to wear eye, hand, and knee protection while fighting. I just wanted to see how other players feel about this idea.</div>

If they had only been wearing gloves they wouldn't have happened. I know about a half a dozen people that had to have knee surgery. All of those people refused to wear knee pads when kneeling on concrete and steel grates to work. I have never seen anyone lose an eye, but I have seen many accidents that probably would have taken out an eye. I've seen bloodied noses and gashes across the face in the area of the eyes but the eyes were saved by hard hats and eye protection. And if I had a dollar for every time I've seen a small object like a screw, nut, a tool or bolt go flying because someone dropped it, kicked it, hit it, etc. I'd be a rich man. I realize that construction is significantly more dangerous than every day life, but we avoid a lot because we expect the possibility. We are aware of it happening and we wear protective gear. Most of the time when I see serious injury it is because someone wasn't wearing what they were supposed to. If nothing else I hope that this discussion has made some of you more aware of some of the risks that we put ourselves in and I start seeing a few more people consider safety gear.</span></span></span></span></span><span data-reactid=".52.1:3:1:$comment911452112221092_912058205493816:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.6"></span></div>

Much as my hands are VERY important to me as a construction worker. There is a myriad of options available to anyone interested in good eye protection and much of it is very affordable. A decent pair of safety glasses can be had for less than $10. If you look at various sports equipment then it is easy to find stuff designed to protect the eyes of people on the go that are sweating and moving around. I like motocross equipment, but take a look around any sporting goods store and I sure that you can find a solution that is comfortable, practical, and that won't break the budget.</span></span></span><br />

There have been a lot of great comments on here. In fact it has been so interesting that I decided to post this discussion as an article in the guardian.
