Feature: Puzzle Fun! New puzzles!
- Squires — ahh...the
squires from the Hanlon-Lees Jousting Knights & Steeds. The
one with the red hair (Jay) is a personal favourite of Willa's.
Taken at Wybreg Spring 2000
- Skjaldborg —
the historical reenactment society that Willa used to be a
member of has since become a fantastic viking encampment. Taken
at RFotM 2000
- Shattock —
one of ATF's personal favourites...the swishy pokey people!
Taken at IRF 2000
- Orkes and Trolles
— the alternative madrigal singing group ATF couldn't live
without! Taken at KCRF '99
- Heartland Wenches
— is it possible to have too many wenches? The
Local 29 (a division of the IWG) invaded and there was much rejoicing!
Taken at KCRF 2000
Every two weeks we are going to turn five of our
very own photos into a Java-based puzzle for you to solve! If you
have a suggestion as to a photo that would make a good puzzle, let
us know! To see past puzzles, go

Feature: Recipe of the Week
Note from Willa: Since this newsletter is being released
on my birthday, I figured I would share my favourite recipe from
Cariadoc's with you. I've made this mead a few times, and it's delicious!
Every week we are going to feature a scrumptious recipe from Cariadoc's
Miscellany for you to try! For past recipes we have featured

Article: PC Compatible Rennies
Over the past few years I have found that virtually all rennies
have computers and are online. Virtually all rennies also run IBM
PC compatible computers, which strikes me as quite odd.
A rennie is typically someone with more creativity and personality
than your average Joe on the street. Rennies tend to not mind dressing
up in tights or a bodice. Rennies don't mind acting silly. Rennies
tend to not follow the norm of everyday life. A rennie is a Mac
