A few young ladies were attempting to recreate the Jugdement of Paris, and my helm (not one I made, one I bought) ended up in the shoot! Check it out!

If you find some kind of reference or something, let me know and I'll check the Duke Univ. library, which is usually pretty good. ILL is your friend! Also, I"d check with Sir Mord (say please and thank you!) and see if he can dig up the work for you as well. He gots mad skilz, yo'.

Sorry, I can't help. This is a *really* obscure corner of Turkiye lore. I'd go with Sasha Khan's recommendations. He's forgotten more about this than I'll ever know.

I'm not sure that's correct. Until and unless we have doctors on site treating and filling out the reports, it is an incident report, not a medical document so I don't think that it would have to be anonymous. Almost. HIPAA protects *any* PHI (protected health information), whether it comes from a ...

Ok, how do I get started.

Because you know, I have copious amounts of time on my hands. NOT!

But after seeing these, I can't resist anymore and I have to at least ask.

How does one get started in jousting?

Aaron,

Duke University Library has the work on hold for me. It's on microfilm/fiche, and they let us print it out for free. Do you want a hardcopy mailed to you, or would you prefer me to scan it & email it? PM/email me and let me know.

Aaron,

I've had very good luck with the Duke University Library (it can be searched here). If it's at our library, I'll go get a copy and find a way to get it to you.

BTW, I saw you at Pennsic, but didn't know it was you. "Who is that nutball in all-red?" :shock: :oops:
