TIBERIAS, Israel (AP) - The massive circular structure appears to be an archaeologists dream: a recently discovered antiquity that could reveal secrets of ancient life in the Middle East and is just waiting to be excavated.
It’s thousands of years old — a conical, manmade behemoth weighing hundreds of tons, practically begging to be explored.
The problem is — it’s at the bottom of the biblical Sea of Galilee. For now, at least, Israeli researchers are left stranded on dry land, wondering what finds lurk below.

April 28th, '13 Halmich Park
Location & Times here
This Sunday will be the first Armored Combat practice back at Halmich Park at the north side @ Chicago Rd. (under the shelters if rain).
As is the tradition within the Barony of Roaring Wastes, we will start off the season by cleaning the park before fighting practice and other activities. Bring gloves, wear shoes and cloths you can get dirty. in Weather predicted to be 65F but it is Michigan and could change rapidly. We will have bags. We start at the back of the park (where practice normally takes place), and we send teams of people through at once, and pick up any garbage we find.
Then We have practice. Next around 3:30 to 4pm we will start the grills and get the BBQ rolling. Bring a dish to pass, something for the grill and a good chair to sit in. Any questions, drop me a message. If you know what your going to bring, post it here. Thanks Everyone!!! and remember, the more hands we have the faster it goes, and the faster we can all get to the fun!
~Baroness Una~
More @ Facebook
If its raining we will meet under the large shelter in the middle of the park. Please spread the word!
Note: This message edited to include more information by Admin. Thank you for your understanding.

In early 2012, the SCA settled a lawsuit brought in 2009 against it and three local SCA officers. At this time last year, the SCA asked each of the Kingdoms of the Knowne World to contribute to the financial settlement of that 2009 lawsuit. At that time, the Board of Directors committed to pursuing a lawsuit against an insurance carrier that refused to contribute to the settlement and sought repayment of the amounts contributed by the SCA's kingdoms.

Remains of King Richard III found! LEICESTER, England (AP) — He wore the English crown, but he ended up defeated, humiliated and reviled.
Now things are looking up for King Richard III. Scientists announced Monday that they had found the monarch's 500-year-old remains under a parking lot in the city of Leicester — a discovery Richard's fans say will inspire new research into his maligned history.

Welcome to the BigCityBall Spectacular New Year's Eve (2012) & Prohibition was instituted with ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment! (1920)
Welcome back to 1920 and Prohibition! Dont worry Speakeasy will be open...
It's 1920 and Prohibition has just taken effect. Prohibition, during which the sale of alcohol was illegal, ran from 1920 to 1933, yet in Detroit, where the thirsty, working-class populace refused to hop on the temperance wagon, spirits flowed in hotels, dance halls, coffee shops, clandestine rooms and underground tunnels.
You're invited to a secret speakeasy in a shady part of downtown Royal Oak called the Cotton Club (otherwise known as Royal Oak Womens Club). However, you can't just show up, as you may be an officer of the law. Please remember to meet with your Mob boss to get the password to get into the Speakeasy. (Oh and get your cash to gamble with)
As we prepare to enter the New Year of 2013, we thought it would be fun to have a real, fun, fancy dress New Year’s Eve party. We open the doors to BigCityBall New Year's Ball at 8:00 pm and welcome all SCA members and guests to come and ring in the New Year with friends.
It is Formal but please feel free to talk to anyone of us and we will give you some ideas of what you can do if you dont want to buy/rent a tux. (Since this is creative formal costumes post 1600 are welcome. ie Civil War uniforms, Futuristic formal, Western Formal... you get the idea. Also a number of people might have stuff to loan out as well.
Please come and join the celebration with 100 of your SCA friends in a fun and festive environment that is sure to dazzle you.
WEBSITE WILL BE UP SOON!!!

How Vikings Really Fought
Sword fighting is back in style (assuming it ever went out) with as movies like Lord of the Rings and television epics like Game of Thrones leading the charge. Vikings were fighting here in the New World long before the rest of Europe made it across the Atlantic, but how they were fighting is somewhat of a mystery, until now. Video & Article
Note: Thnx, Snorri.

Part Two:
The first High King of Ireland, Niall Noigiallach
Millions of Irish Americans, especially those in New York , may be directly descended from Niall of the Nine Hostages, the most prolific warrior in Irish history.
A team of geneticists at Trinity College Dublin led by Professor Dan Bradley have discovered that as many as 3 million men worldwide may be descendents of the Irish warlord, who was who was the Irish “High King” at Tara, the ancient center of Ireland from A.D. 379 to A.D. 405

There has always been a very special bond between the Irish and the Scottish. But now it appears that bond is closer than we ever imagined.
According to new DNA research released this week, many Scottish and Irish people are direct descendants of a 5th-century Irish king... Read

Nearly 25 years after they moved into their home, an English couple has discovered a 33-foot-deep medieval well beneath their living room floor.
"I was replacing the joists in the floor when I noticed a slight depression—it appeared to be filled in with the foundations of the house,"
