The East Kingdom, for example, has minimum requirements for what needs to be on the scroll, but after that the scribes are given some leeway for the remainder of the text. =================================================================== To unsubscribe from this list, send email to with a blank Subject: line and unsubscribe scribes in the body of the message.

Check out: http://www.knaw.nl/ecpa/ink/index.html This is a conservation science site dedicated to the stability and corrosion issues involving iron gallotannic inks. There is a detailed discussion on the chemistry, plus some ink recipes, a nice history of gallic ink page, and some interesting advice on getting good color out of your ink (atmospheric oxidation, fermentation, etc) ttfn Therasia - ------------------------------------- - ------------------------------------- =================================================================== To unsubscribe from this list, send email to with a blank Subject: line and unsubscribe scribes in the body of the message.

So, folks be very aware of what you are opening. I, too, have the most current form of Norton that scans as e-mails come in and checks to make sure I'm not sending anything out, as well. Anyone who doesn't have the most current form of Antivirus software is endangering all of us, as well as their own computer. I know this is off topic, but we all need to be VERY aware of this type of thing or we won't have a list to enjoy.

Oak galls can be found on the trunk of the tree, on the ends of the branches or on the leaves themselves. They are more frequently seen in the latter portion of the year, August through December (when you can still find leaves on trees in December in the oak's range). Pittsburgh does have the right insects and trees for oak galls, I've picked them out of trees near Pennsic and Philly so I'm pretty sure that Pittsburgh would have them too. They come in many sizes and are placed in many different areas of the tree. Here are some pictoral examples: http://www.bugsinthenews.com/Fern_Bluff_Park_021001_Oak_Galls.gif http://fhpr8.srs.fs.fed.us/pubs/oakpests/images/insects/applegall41.jpg http://www.ipm.uiuc.edu/publications/infosheets/71-plantgalls/galls9big.jpg The last picture is what I see more of, the other two pictures are more easily spotted. Hope this helps.
