But, to participate one would need to sign in.  And, as the medium becomes
used and apart of NR life newbies who might not be members should want to
participate in what becomes apart of Nova Roma Life.,  This is why I want
to have a chatroom back again, why I want to increase the use of the
webpage and wiki.

I hope this makes my point of view clearer.

We can keep the NR main list as it is.  We can even keep the FH as it is,

Thank you for your answers. So, (and please correct me if I misunderstood it), the contect of the Wiki will be entirely public for anyone to see and find by a Google search.

You say in order "to participate" one should have to "sign in". By "participation", I assume you mean "to edit articles". And "signing in to Wiki", as it seems from your words, would be not a citizenship, just a user account to the Wiki, but Wiki users could request citizenship later if they want to be involved in NR civic life.

So the only difference (besides having other surfaces and front pages such as the blog etc) between the current use of NR Wiki and the planned use of NR Wiki would be that while currently only citizens can edit, in the future anyone who logs in and create an account, could edit?

Salve Lentule et omnes,

At this moment we are only exploring this new tool and thinking how to
blend it with the rest if adopted so no decisions are taken so far.

I had the opportunity yo explore it yesterday for some time and my first
impression is that it has true potential to be NR social tool and a place
where citizens can meet to easily share materials (bookmarks, files, news).
It looks also a great place to make working groups like sodalitas and so on.

I think at this moment that it can be a good tool to add to the wiki and
the major and official email lists.

I will also try to explore the new forum based applications caution made by
Laterensis.

Above all I would like to thank both Caninus and Laterensis for their work
to provide us with this tools to explore.

C. Maria Caeca L. Cornelio Sullae Consuli S. P. D.

I suspect I'm confused (again/still/perpetually?), so let me ask this in a
logical way for my mind to grasp.

When a non citizen first come to the WIKI on our main site, that person must
sign in, which will probably require creating some sort of user account,
yes? That account will allow the visitor to read public material and make
comments, yes? Will that user account also allow the visitor and non
citizen to actually edit our WIKI? If so, I have issues with that. I think
people, visitors and citizens, should be able to read and comment on all our
public pages, but I shudder to think what uncontrolled editorial access
could create. I can think of any number of people who would love to use
such access against our best interests.

Vale et gratias!

Ave :)

Let me try to explain in my manner that I hope will be able to be the end
result of at least my vision.,

When we have someone use google and they find Nova Roma on their search and
click on the link...they are immediately taken to the front page of the
website (NOT the splash screen) but the front page with all the links to
the wiki. From there they are able to view pretty much most of the Wiki
without signing in. You are right they are able to view all the public
material posted. They do not need to create an account or anything.

This will not change. If anything what they can view will be expanded in
degrees with the deeper layers (how expanded it's too soon to tell at
present)

However, to edit, publish and participate they will need to create an
account. Without the account they are only passive viewers, not active
participants.

In other words to create an account they would have to be a citizen. And
with that they will be able to be fully active participants to our
organization - as you and I are.

I hope this clears up your questions and concerns.

Respectfully,

Sulla

Amice, as we have discussed before, I do not want to see any major changes to the Wiki other than making it a second layer where folks interested in Nova Roma or Roman things in general would be able to find interesting articles and media in addition to NR archives, aanals, and official documents. The Wiki will be viewable crawable for Google and other search engines and viewable by non-citizens. Current policies requiring NR citizenship to edit should not change. As is now the case, going to www.novaroma.org will not present the Wiki's Main Page but something more interactive and engaging for non-citizens, including links to fora and social media where they will be able to participate without full citizenship and hopefully be mentored and guided. One of the issues we have now is the Wiki is easy to find but finding someone to talk to is a bit difficult for a non-citizen. I don't want to see the Wiki buried or changed but I would like non-citizens to have more to do when they go to www.novaroma.org and more for citizens to do as well.

OK, your explanation makes perfect sense to me. I'd like to see all
visitors, citizens or not, to have a variety of options, from reading
articles to reading news about NR activities to being able to interact with
citizens on some lists and for a. The more there is to do, the more likely
someone is to stay longer and come back often. What I cringe at is letting
anyone and everyone into the administrative or editorial aspects of our

OK, I see that, and yes, it does address my major concern. I do think we
might want to consider letting visitors make comments on articles, but not
be able to edit or change them, although even here, we might be encouraging
those who would like to see us embarrassed (at the very least) more access
than they should have. What I absolutely would *NOT* want to see is non
citizens being able to get at the "guts" of anything we have, for obvious
reasons. I also think non citizens should be able to join our social media
for a, if, and only if, they can be removed should that become necessary.
We can always have areas of our for a that are accessible only to citizens,
and we should, I think, but informal personal contact could well encourage
visitors to become citizens, I think.

I understand and agree. I also have no problem with non-citizens
commenting (though I would prefer some admin in the praetors office
approving all comments from non-members first). I know it would mean more
work but given the spam adventures I have had to deal with on the Back
Alley - it would be safe to assume that we would need to err on the side of
caution since we know there are people who would abuse the freedom.

I agree with you no non citizen will be able to get anywhere near the guts
of anything. :)

I hope the chatroom feature will allow guests to participate - just like
they were able to do in the past. That would be ideal for a newbie to be
able to interact in as close to a live minute by minute exposure to the
Nova Roman Community.

Once we have something permanent set up, I do think it should be
administered by the Praetors, just as our lists are, now, though the
Praetura may need some help with technical matters. Right now, of course,
we are taking these software packages for test drives, so we don't need to
implement permanent administrative procedures. I see, (and this is what is
important to me) that we are on the same page, though.

We are in complete agreement. This would be something very much within the

email lists and this part of the NR website the oversight will be
manageable. I would also hope that once the bugs have been worked out and
new addon's tested that there could be an expansion to the Praetorial
handbook (if there is one of existence to help new staff members become

Also, as a note to everyone else, I confirmed that the chat module is indeed broken, so I disabled it for the time being.  I'll see what I can do about getting it working, or see if I can find another similar module to do the job.

I managed to read some of the style exercises today. It's a bit hectic here with the 3 plus feet of snow we received over the last 24 hours. The wind knocked out the power several times but I think we're past the worst of it.

I'm enjoying the style examples as they demonstrate how one can tell the same story in a variety of different ways making the basic facts more entertaining to digest.

As I haven't finished them all I have yet to determine which version is my favorite

The only question I have so far is that in the examples I've read to this point, I've seen no mention of the weather being very hot as mentioned in the English version you provided. Not a big deal, just a curiosity mostly.

Thank you again for sharing them with me.

It ranges from 4 to 15% with the high end more for things like electronics and the low end for books and DVDs.

Does anybody know who set up the original accounts and what email was used? I know the administrator for the UK store is still active on the main list but what about the administrator for the US and Canadian stores? It would be great to use the original accounts if possible (after we change the passwords of course).

In the future we need to ensure that we have a way to ensure that At least two people have access to these passwords, an administrator and perhaps the Consuls. They should be kept in what is essentially a state vault that contains our Crown Jewels (access passwords for things like our go daddy, PayPal and Amazon accounts) so that if an administrator disappears we don't have to start from scratch.

In case you haven't figured it out...what Nova Roma needs is a number of
individuals who are basically a force of nature to help keep things
motivated and moving along. Without that force driving things, Nova Roma
tends to stagnate. This goes for a macro view of the Government in general
to each sodalitas. If someone is motivated and has a passion to keep
interest alive and going things will thrive because that feeling is
contagious. The same goes for lethargy.

This year, I am striving for, is a year of action and motivation. As, I,
for both good and bad am basically a force of nature in my involvement with
Nova Roma.

I hope that the sodalitas end up being infected by the actions....From the
Sodalitas Musarum to the Militarum they have had a steady stream of
responses, interest and involvement and that should hopefully continue
throughout the year. The less active sodalitas need to be infected with
the same drive and interest.

M. Iulius Scaeva C. Petronio Dextero sal,

I managed to read some of the style exercises today. It's a bit hectic here with the 3 plus feet of snow we received over the last 24 hours. The wind knocked out the power several times but I think we're past the worst of it.

I'm enjoying the style examples as they demonstrate how one can tell the same story in a variety of different ways making the basic facts more entertaining to digest.

As I haven't finished them all I have yet to determine which version is my favorite

The only question I have so far is that in the examples I've read to this point, I've seen no mention of the weather being very hot as mentioned in the English version you provided. Not a big deal, just a curiosity mostly.

Thank you again for sharing them with me.

Optime Vale,

For anyone who would like to register for the Elgg test site (http://nrdev.co/social), be sure that the username you choose has no spaces or special characters. You can enter a display name that has spaces, periods, and other special characters. For instance, someone named Gaius Acilius Canus could use CAlbusCanus for a username name but not C Albus Canus; his display name, though, could be C. Albus Canus or some other variation of his Roman name. I have also added a field to the profile for Nova Roma Name where you can enter your full name if you like.

Commissions for purchases of displayed items (displayed on Nova Roma's store page) that are shipped from Amazon should start at 4% and go up with more referrals but there is a cap or maximum. Kindle products, products purchased from searches and click throughs that start at the store but are completed on the Amazon site and items that are shipped from affiliates and other sources are handled differently. Everything shows up in the reports for the store. With Nova Roma's current traffic the money earned by the store will not be much, probably a couple of hundred US dollars in the course of a year if enough citizens use the store. Basically, enough income to offset the expenses of web hosting.

It is too bad that there such problems with some of the lists and that
the owners/creaters of these list have let them languish into such as
state.

This may be an issue the Senate should take up and for them to devise
a method of over-site to prevent this from happening in the future.

I also would suggest that links from the Nova Roma website to lists
that have become so dysfunctional should be removed and/or their
owners put on notice to clean them up.

It sounds like a new list for the province of Mediatlantica may need
to be created. It is unfortunate the incapacitated gentleman had not

One of the things changing in this day and age is the increase in the use of social media to engage the public. Facebook, twitter and google + are replacing things like newsletters. I know we have a presence on at least two of these media but it is my suggestion that we look to eventually have a social media editor responsible for keeping these services up to date.

The nice thing about this is that there are tools to automate the process. For example, every time a new post is posted to my blog it is reposted to my Facebook and twitter pages automatically.

Anyhow once things with the wiki are sorted out it might be a good idea to convene a group meeting with anybody interested in building and maintaining our social media, blogging, forum and podcasting strategies. Perhaps even a Skype conference call.

Just throwing that out there for future consideration.

I like the idea.. I like the initiative...

However...

I think having a "Social Media Editor" may be just a bit too soon..

Since Nova Roma is in the rebuilding stages, the need to fortify its walls
and expand is a definite must. But we also don't want to take on so much
that those fortified walls just topple completely. Basically what I am
saying is lets not spread ourselves too thin too quickly.

If that makes any sense?

Again not against the idea completely but not at this time.. I think this
idea should bubble on the cauldron just a while longer.

Thank you Paulinus for coming up with new ideas and wanting to contribute.

for which to have jurisdiction and then average that out to which positions
do not have much to do in the big scheme of things.

Consuls generally are always busy given the actual tasks of running the
ship of state.
Censors are always busy either with new citizens, tribes and century issues
etc.
Praetors maintain the website and email lists....and heaven forbid if there
is a trial.

The likely positions would be the Curule Aedile and the Plebian Aedile.
Both have Ludi's which are vital. Curule Aediles have more. Not to
mention they have a role in the Macellum.

It would seem to me that this might be something to eventually fold into
the Plebian Aedile as a likely expansion of function as, I believe they
helped maintain vital infrastructure like the sewers, weights and measures,
etc (though I admit I could be confusing all of the Aediles functions.

This is something to think about down the road.....

This very much would be considered our infrastructure or digital plumbing or roads if you will. Your suggestion as to who should take responsibility makes sense to me when the time comes.

I will continue working on the amazon store and once that has concluded to everyone's satisfaction I will then move on to help with whatever next infrastructure needs work.

Subject: Amazon A Store Test
Salve!

I have put together a rough amazon store that can be viewed at this link:

http://astore.amazon.com/novaroma-20

A couple of points:

1. We have the option of manually adding books or going with Amazon's default classifying scheme. I used Amazon's default classification so we pull in all books related to Ancient Rome. Please keep in mind that I have not tweaked all subcategories to feature only those books related to Ancient Rome for now. I can further edit and tweak the store once I receive back comments.

2. I am using the default graphical scheme for the store. We can customize it with our logo, change the colors, etc. but for now I just wanted to get the basics in place for this test.

3. Do not buy anything from this store unless you want the commission to go to me! As we have not set up an official Nova Roma account I used my account from my music site. This is only a test.

4. I have not added DVDs yet.

5. This is the store at its most basic, a link to the store on Amazon's site. This is what we should start with on the Wiki in addition to updating all the links on the Wiki with the new Amazon Account. Once that is done we can then decide about adding a separate tab or section to the Wiki with the store appearing within the Wiki itself.

6. This is just a test! Comments, suggestions and critiques are welcome but please remember this is Amazon software.

Vale!

I was lobbying for these changes ever since this IT plan was about to start after the transition to the Wiki from the old system, and I was a member of the team that was going to work on it, around 2007-8, but that was later halted by the NR internal turbulences, and afterwards could never continue...

Amice, as we have discussed before, I do not want to see any major changes to the Wiki other than making it a second layer where folks interested in Nova Roma or Roman things in general would be able to find interesting articles and media in addition to NR archives, aanals, and official documents. The Wiki will be viewable crawable for Google and other search engines and viewable by non-citizens. Current policies requiring NR citizenship to edit should not change. As is now the case, going to www.novaroma.org will not present the Wiki's Main Page but something more interactive and engaging for non-citizens, including links to fora and social media where they will be able to participate without full citizenship and hopefully be mentored and guided. One of the issues we have now is the Wiki is easy to find but finding someone to talk to is a bit difficult for a non-citizen. I don't want to see the Wiki buried or changed but I would like non-citizens to
have more to do when they go to www.novaroma.org and more for citizens to do as well.



Bene vale amice!

Thank you for your answers. So, (and please correct me if I misunderstood it), the contect of the Wiki will be entirely public for anyone to see and find by a Google search.



You say in order "to participate" one should have to "sign in". By "participation", I assume you mean "to edit articles". And "signing in to Wiki", as it seems from your words, would be not a citizenship, just a user account to the Wiki, but Wiki users could request citizenship later if they want to be involved in NR civic life.



So the only difference (besides having other surfaces and front pages such as the blog etc) between the current use of NR Wiki and the planned use of NR Wiki would be that while currently only citizens can edit, in the future anyone who logs in and create an account, could edit?

Ave,



Everything should be able to be seen. That is the entire purpose for

knowledge is for it to be seen.



But, to participate one would need to sign in. And, as the medium becomes

used and apart of NR life newbies who might not be members should want to

participate in what becomes apart of Nova Roma Life., This is why I want

to have a chatroom back again, why I want to increase the use of the

webpage and wiki.



I hope this makes my point of view clearer.



We can keep the NR main list as it is. We can even keep the FH as it is,

but the website is our presence in essence the representation of Nova Roma

life through knowledge, community and involvement.



Vale,



Sulla

Subject: Re: WIKI plans question
Lentulus Mariae s. p. d.

There is no such function in a Wiki system like comments. There are only articles and article editorial debate pages. However, the debate (also called talk or discussion) pages are editable only by users, i.e. regular editors, and the purpose of the article debate pages is not to comment or debate about the article but to discuss among the editors about proposed changes on the article. So a Wiki talk page is an editorial tool, a workshop for editors of  a specific article. So it is *technically* impossible to allow someone to use the talk page who is not an editor. However, what could indeed be a place for comments it is a NR blog, where non-citizens as well as citizens could comment.

Subject: Re: Social media editor
Cn. Lentulus q. L. Sullae cos. omnibusque sal.

This is indeed a very important area for discussion, and I would like to offer my point of view how I personally see this question from Roman perspective. Let's see:

The praetores of Nova Roma don't have and never had the function of maintaining the website, and as they are the vice-presidents of the republic, I think it is reasonable that they did not have this function.

However, as you mention the aediles, here I am very much in agreement that our web infrastructure should be their task. This is what they did in ancient Rome: they were responsible for the infrastructures: maintaining streets, forums, markets, public buildings, culture and entertainment. The college of aediles, (not only the plebeian or curule, but all 4 aediles) worked together in Rome as one magistracy. I would like to see this revived in NR as well so that we don't look at the plebeian and curule aediles as tow entirely distinct magistracies, but just two slightly different titles for the same office (except in those 1-2 specific task which are distinctly curule or plebeian, but these are really only one or two tasks).

The four aediles should take care of much of our web infrastructure, making sure updates are regularly carried out, new articles are written, news are posted, the Market place (which in Latin is Mercatus, not Macellum - that was mistakenly used by NR in the past)  is working, etc, etc. Any webmaster or wikimaster or social media editor should work under their hands and together with them.

This is how the aediles could occupy their real place in our Roman government, because the ludi, although of vital importance, are just a tiny part of the aedilician tasks.

When it comes to the praetores, they should be given much more weight and importance in the NR government than they had in our Nova Roman past. Praetores as second in rank shall govern Nova Roma together with the consules, and shall participate in legislation, and policy making. Actually, they have these rights even now, but it has become a (bad) tradition in NR that all the praetores were usually left to do is moderation of mailing lists, wich is not even sure it should be their job.

The idea that praetores shall moderate mailing lists originated from the historical fact that praetores were responsible for the courts, so our past Nova Roman leaders let them serve the justice as mailing list moderators. Which is actually much more like a police job, and the police in NR was run by the aediles as well, not to mention, maintainance of fora was always an aedilician job. It's also a bad thing from juridical point of view to make the magistrates that lead the courts (praetores) to be the police at the same time. There was enough conflict in the past from this situation that praetores dictate moderation policy and also they execute it, and even they are who judge the infringers and punish them. What actually should be the scenario it's that the praetores should issue the moderation edict, the aediles should execute it and catch the infringers, and deal with them if it is a minor case, and defer to the praetores when it is a serious
question, and the praetores should deal with possible conflict resolution or, if needed, punishments. The praetores should primarily be conflict managers and not police. This is not only more historical and Roman, but this is more practical as well: but it's usally always so, the Romans had a very practical way of things. This way the praetores would have more time to engage in their real tasks, being vice-presidents of the res publica, policy makers and second in command of the republic's all affairs.


Valete!

Subject: Updates made to trial forum
Caninus omnibus salutem plurimam dicit.

I have added some new capabilities to the trial forum - http://nrdev.co/social - so there are actually two ways to chat now.

There is a whole-site chat that shows up as a tab on the right side of the screen about one-third of the way down from the top. Just click and it will open up a column for chat on the right third of your screen. This will also allow private chats if you click on the third tab.

In addition there are now several chat rooms that can be accessed either through the 'Chat Room' menu item or by the bubble icon near the top left of the screen. When you open the chat room it will automatically add the first five rooms as tabs. I have set a limit so you can only participate in five chat rooms at the same time, as that seems reasonable for most mortals. If there are any gregarious demi-gods out there that would like to chat in more than five rooms at the same time just let me know and I will bump up the limit. You can remove rooms from your chat screen by clicking the red X next to the room name on the chat room tab. You can then add rooms by clicking room names from the list on the right.

I have also added an event calendar so there is a site-wide calendar and calendars for each group.

Under the More menu you can also find a new item called Polls, which does basically what it says. Anyone can add a new poll. I put up an example there.

I also added a new menu item called 'Nova Roma Wiki' that takes you to Nova Roma's site. Note that you will leave the trial forum and be sent to the first page (language selection screen) for the Nova Roma site.

Thank you for passing that along.  That certainly fits the definition of an Auspicum Oblativum as far as I can tell. A Catholic Pope putting in his two-weeks notice, while not unprecedented, is certainly a very unusual event.  When my wife first heard about it, she predicted some chaos ahead for the Catholics.  I dismissed the idea at first, assuming that everything will go smooth and they'll elect a new leader just as they've done for the last 2000 years or so. 

Now, with such an obvious sign from Jupiter, I wonder if I might be wrong.  The world isn't the same now as it was over the past centuries of Catholic domination of Europe.  After all, who would've thought polytheism would make a comeback after all these years?  Not to mention the other changes and problems they've faced in recent years.  At any rate, I'll be paying closer attention to the situation than I otherwise might have.

Registration errors most often occur because there is a space or special character in the username or the password selected is too short. Yesterday I set the minium password length set to 10 characters, which may be longer than most folks are accustomed to using. It is probably more of a nuisance than a help. Although the only real security for passwords is their length, 10 characters does not offer much protection. Anyway, I will look for your registration attempt in the log file a little later today to see what happened.

Subject: Writing Contest Rules
Avete Omnes,

It is my pleasure to bring to you the first writing contest -
hopefully the first of many, in Nova Roma. The purpose of this is
fourfold:

1 - Further develop the Nova Roma Wiki by the creation of articles
that are more than just a couple of sentences long.
2 - Spark more interesting discussion on the ML and sodalitas lists
(since once posted on the ML and appropriate to sodalitas - the
information can be posted there as well)
3 - To allow the writers of Nova Roma to wax lyrical on their skills
and get some publicity from it. :)
4 - To develop a more academic level of discussion through the use of
sources in the writing.

To accomplish this we will have a monthly contest.

March's topic is: Roman Personalities (This includes Nova Roma
Personalities - Yes I was asked if that was also in the topic)

Minimum requirements:

All entries must be sent to robert.woolwine@.... Any entry
posted on any list will be disqualified.
Entries must have a minimum of 300 words typed
3 sources must be utilized in the article.
Language used must be English.
Entries must be submitted to robert.woolwine@... by March 10th.
There are no maxiumum word counts nor maximum number of references.

Judges - who are mostly lined up will have a week to judge the papers.
They will then return their results to robert.woolwine@...
Judges will be given blind papers to review, In other words they will
be getting the papers directly from me with no identifying author -
this will keep it about as impartial as I can make it.
Judges cannot participate in the contest (for obvious reasons).

If you win two contest in one year (12 month revolving) then you will
be unable to compete until the earliest anniversary, In other words,
if you win the March and August entry and it is now December you
cannot participate for the sake of earning a prize until next March
rolls around.

All information presented for the contest is your own original work -
it can be submitted to a plagerism checker for verification, and the
work can be posted on the Nova Roma website with authorship
identified.

Prize: Either a $15.00 gift card or a $15.00 paypal deposit.
Article to be posted on the Nova Roma Mainlist - credit to
the author.
Article to be posted and promoted on the Nova Roma Wiki website

If anyone has any questions or concerns - please post them. I have
tried to think of everything - but I am sure someone will have a good
question that I did not think of or forgot to include and this is a
learning experience at this point.

Respectfully,

Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix

Subject: Rudimenta Latina (pre-Latin) and Latin class registration
A. Tullia Scholastica quiritibus, sociis, peregrinis cultoribusque S.P.D.

Reminder, with start date fixed: we shall be offering the Rudimenta
Latina course beginning March 4th, 2013. This is a short pre-Latin course
requiring neither a knowledge of Latin nor the possession of the textbook (A
Natural History of Latin, by Tore Janson) in advance. It also does not
require written homework, although students must post to the course fora
once during each of the three modules into which the course is divided.
Eventually, however, one must acquire the textbook so that one can discuss
it onsite and pass the sole examination at the conclusion of the course. As
some of the students who are already registered for this course have
discovered, the text is an easy read and quite entertaining. The course
will last approximately ten weeks, and therefore conclude around the second
week in May. The teacher will be a certain young Hungarian Latinist, name
of Cn. Cornelius Lentulus.

We are also accepting registrations for the first semester Grammatica
Latina I course, which will begin the last Monday in August (August 26th).
Some students have already registered for this course as well, and are
happily biding their time on the course site. The Grammatica Latina courses
are enhanced traditional-method Latin courses and require memorization of
vocabulary, grammatical forms, and other such linguistic tidbits, made as
painless as possible. They are blessed with weekly homework to instill said
matters, which yours truly corrects and decorates with varying amounts of
red ink, most of which is very welcome to the students. They like having
the errors of their ways explained to them. There is also one examination
at the end of each semester.

The text for Grammatica Latina I and Grammatica Latina II is Wheelock¹s
Latin, by Frederic Wheelock, revised by LaFleur. Either the Sixth or
Seventh Edition is acceptable, though I recommend the Seventh as it has
several aids for the student not present in the Sixth.

Those who wish to register for either of these courses should contact me
so that I can verify text possession for Grammatica and / or register you
for one or the other of these courses. We cannot yet accept registrations
for the Sermo Latinus spoken Latin courses (but maybe a certain Val or a
certain Petronius might like to join us later on; as a rule, there are
several Latin teachers in Sermo).

Salve Omnes,
 
Forgive my impertinence for commenting as I am not a Catholic, rather an Antiochian Orthodox Christian.   But the Pope, whom we consider the Patriarch of Rome, plays a critical role in the world.    In many ways, he has become the preeminent symbol of Christianity for all Christians despite theological differences.    To that end, who serves as Pope is critical for the Christianity.   Sulla has suggested the underlying issue oft ignored by the politically correct.   Islam is again on the move after centuries of being dormant.    There is indeed a war being waged against the West and Christianity in particular.   We should pray that whomever becomes the next Pope, he recognizes that reality for what it is and acts accordingly.

Ave,

Well to talk about politics I think we all should long for the days of
Catholicism when we are compared with the alternative, ie Islam - militant,
fanatical and far more evil IMHO.

I really hope that there is a new, vibrant and strong pontiff who gets
elected that will be able to stand up to the alternative.

Vale,

Oh I can think of some things.

First let me state I am a Jew - not a Christian and most definitely not a
Catholic.

But first, the Pope can start taking a stand on what is actually going on
in Europe with regards to its infiltration of Muslims and the subtle but
determined undermining of Europe from within a 5th column if you like.
Just like Pope John Paul the II took a stand against Communism...the new
Pope will need to marshall the strength and traditions to do the same stand
against Militant/Fascistic Islam.

Islam is the threat that our generation faces - just like Communism was for
the past two generations and Nazism and Fascism was before.

Any religion that sacrifices members of its family to the point of honor
killing - no matter where they live - should be a dire warning to all of
us...no matter if we are Christians, Jews, Pagans, Gays. And, I mention
honor killings because there was an Honor killing here in Glendale, Arizona
not more than about 2 years ago and the father who killed his daughter
tried to flee to Europe to escape the heinous crime he committed - here in
Arizona. Oh and I want to address something else, I am sure most of us
know Muslims who pretty much assimilate to our society. Just like Jews,
just like the Irish, just like every other nationality in the world. If
that is genuinely true - awesome. I think we all recognize that we do not
have a problem with them. I am an assimilated Jew. But, we all know
which muslims we have problems with - and those very loud and more vocal
minority which is in my belief becoming a majority of Muslims is the
problem. And, ultimately if you know assimilated Muslims they are in JUST
as much danger as those family members they give Honor Killings to.

And, in the words of Abraham Lincoln a house divided cannot stand. Western
Civilization is right now a house very divided. Hopefully the next Pope
will seek to remedy some of those divisions and help us met the challenges
of this new century.

I know this is off topic from the ML, I will not respond to this post here,
but on the Back Alley where it is on topic (since everything there is
basically on topic).

You are, of course, correct.   Though certainly not an expert on Islam, I have done extensive reading about it over the past decade.   Contrary to the commonly accepted political myth,  so called radical Islam is well within the Islamic tradition.   Islam spread through the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe by the sword not through proselytizing.   Nor was Islam accommodating to Christians or Jews, rather these groups were allowed to survive at the mercy of Muslim masters as dhimmis.    They were given some minimal credence as adherents of the Old Testament, which Mohammed viewed as a predecessor to the Quran.   Other groups met a far worse fate.   Dhimmis had few, if any, rights, and were subject to the whims of the Islamic masters. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The renewed confrontation between Islam and Western Civilization has only just begun.   Unfortunately we in the West have short memories and are easily distracted.   So determined are we to judge by standards of democracy that we seem unable to either recognize the threat of radical Islam, or if recognized to effectively develop policies to confront it.   While true there are Muslims who have assimilated into Western society, they appear unable to effectively counteract radical Islam.    A topic for another day.   That radical Islam may represent a small minority matters little.    Their influence is nigh overwhelming.   That fighting the "Crusaders" fits well within the basic doctrines of Islam, opposition to that faction within Islam is difficult at best.
 
 
 
 
 As an Orthodox Christian, the historic accord between Islam and the Orthodox Church is understood but yet an embarrassment.    We can pray that whomever the new Pope might be, he will understand this ancient confrontation which has again reared its ugly head.    While one might hope that a peaceful resolution be found, as a soldier I know the reality will be different.    The question is whether the West is ready, willing, and able to defend itself from the assault.   In that I confess I am troubled.

I'll sum it up: The male will is strong and exemplified in Islam (Sharia - I'm not sure the proper term). The female will is strong and exemplified in Christianity (Democracy).

Ave Mars, my god of war... after all, all is fair in love & war. Two more points: they say MONEY is the root of all evil. NOT!! 1) I believe reproduction is the root of all evil. 2) This is proved by Roman Catholic Priests & Nuns - their vow of chastity is the full & true conversion, and IT results in no offspring.

Therefore, if the entire
world threw in the towel and gave up reproduction, we would experience the next
100 years or so of blissful peace, before human extinction.

Ave!

Oh I can think of some things.

First let me state I am a Jew - not a Christian and most definitely not a
Catholic.

But first, the Pope can start taking a stand on what is actually going on
in Europe with regards to its infiltration of Muslims and the subtle but
determined undermining of Europe from within a 5th column if you like.
Just like Pope John Paul the II took a stand against Communism...the new
Pope will need to marshall the strength and traditions to do the same stand
against Militant/Fascistic Islam.

Islam is the threat that our generation faces - just like Communism was for
the past two generations and Nazism and Fascism was before.

Any religion that sacrifices members of its family to the point of honor
killing - no matter where they live - should be a dire warning to all of
us...no matter if we are Christians, Jews, Pagans, Gays.  And, I mention
honor killings because there was an Honor killing here in Glendale, Arizona
not more than about 2 years ago and the father who killed his daughter
tried to flee to Europe to escape the heinous crime he committed - here in
Arizona.  Oh and I want to address something else,  I am sure most of us
know Muslims who pretty much assimilate to our society.  Just like Jews,
just like the Irish, just like every other nationality in the world.  If
that is genuinely true - awesome.  I think we all recognize that we do not
have a problem with them.  I am an assimilated Jew.  But, we all know
which muslims we have problems with - and those very loud and more vocal
minority which is in my belief becoming a majority of Muslims is the
problem.  And, ultimately if you know assimilated Muslims they are in JUST
as much danger as those family members they give Honor Killings to.

And, in the words of Abraham Lincoln a house divided cannot stand.  Western
Civilization is right now a house very divided.  Hopefully the next Pope
will seek to remedy some of those divisions and help us met the challenges
of this new century.

I know this is off topic from the ML, I will not respond to this post here,
but on the Back Alley where it is on topic (since everything there is
basically on topic).

Vale,

Sulla

C. Aemilius Crassus C. Petronio Dextro SPD,

I did indeed requested the thread be moved for more proper places about
6 hours before your message and all participants have do it so your
message is a little out of time.

I did requested the move of the discussions to more proper place not
because what you call propaganda, since any citizen has the right to say
what believes as long as both the Religio Romana as state religion of
Nova Roma and all religions are respected, but because the limit was
crossed concerning the religion respect demanded in this forum.

I don't know one single religion that hasn't her full share of blood and
pointless violence so that kind of argument always looks to me to have
little force behind it. And before anyone points it out the violence and
blood in most cases were done in name of the religion but had little to
do with what in light of those religions should be the relation between
humans and their divinities.

Vale optime.

Q. Fabius Labeo omnibus s.p.d.

Last week I sent an e-mail to the censors (via the NR web site) in regards to a citizenship status question. I've not heard anything back, as yet. I don't mean to seem impatient, but I'm just wondering if I should yet be concerned? I don't have any idea what the normal response time might be. I also understand there could be other matters of more import demanding the attention of the censors at this time. My main concern is that I have no way of knowing if my query was ever received, as using the wiki e-mail I have no record of my outgoing e-mail, when it was sent, etc. Thank you for any consideration and direction.

Subject: Put some meat on those Latin bones (conventiculum in Wyoming)
A. Tullia Scholastica quiritibus bonae voluntatis S.P.D.

Yesterday I received some information about a new Latin immersion
conventiculum in Wyoming. If any of you is in the vicinity thereof and
knows at least a little Latin, you might want to check this out. This one
allows beginners, and may have some lessons in the vernacular. The notice
is pasted below.

I have posted this to some other lists, and apologize for any
duplications...but repetition is the mother of learning. I have another
notice for the former Seattle conventiculum, now merged with the one in LA,
but it is in Latin, and the conventiculum apparently does not admit
beginners. Unlike the previous conventiculum in Seattle / Wenatchee, this
one is now on the campus of a Catholic college, as is the one in Wyoming, so
any applicants should keep that in mind. There are several similar events
during the summer; one is in Pennsylvania, one in Virginia or West Virginia,
one or two in Germany, and others elsewhere in Europe.

Valete.

==============

CONVENTICULUM VIOMINGENSE

[= pertaining to Wyoming, with a spelling Avitus would not approve]

We are happy to announce a new summer Latin immersion opportunity at Wyoming
Catholic College!
The 2013 Conventiculum Viomingense will run from August 5th – August 13th.

Some of the many highlights of the Conventiculum Viomingense are:

● You will learn to speak Latin or improve your spoken Latin with several
highly experienced Latin speakers

● It is designed for beginners as well as more advanced participants; for
students and teachers

● We will be housed at a welcoming and friendly Catholic community

● There will be outdoor excursions and a three day camping trip, backpacking
through the beautiful mountains of Wyoming (with all gear provided!)

● Small groups will attend break-out sessions separated by levels

● Interested participants will enjoy sports activities (e.g., Frisbee,
soccer, touch football, yard games)

● There is an EXCEPTIONALLY low-cost


Find-out more at:

http://www.wyomingcatholiccollege.com/conventiculum

OVERVIEW

The Conventiculum Viomingense is a full-immersion residential experience,
designed both to introduce aspiring Latinists to the beauty and power of the
ancient language of the Church and to provide more advanced Latinists with
an exciting opportunity to improve their abilities. Classes will be
conducted primarily in Latin and will include an exciting outdoor component:
We will take advantage of our location to discuss trees and plants,
mountains and glaciers, rivers, animals, birds, insects, weather, and many
other aspects of nature. The week will culminate in a camping trip.

I know I don't want some of them back. Especially the ones who had no problem breaking Maine law. Nope, the RPR can keep them.

The ratio was never the problem. What was a big part of the problem was some Europeans felt their pride pricked because they felt nr should have been founded in Europe (it wasn't) or should have a huge emphasis in Europe (most of nr's population is in the western hemisphere).

No, ultimate the problem is that many of them have excessive pride without achievement and when you have it's easy to be manipulated.

No, my standard is different I want people who are willing to abide by the

and what does the word consecutive mean and is shall a word that means must

I have been through too much in Nova Roma to just forgive and forget and
for that matter no one should forget. Forgetting only ensures that Nova
Roma (or any organization) will repeat the same mistakes.

And, now still dealing with the cold war between the RPR and Nova Roma - as
I deal with the audit that we can state with absolute certainty since the
IRS agent told me...that the audit was recommended and referred to the IRS.
The likely culprit is from someone in that organization - I have yet to

By tradition, April 21st, two months from today, is recognized as the anniversary of the founding of Rome. No one can be certain of this as the calendar has undergone so much change over the millenia but still it would be appropriate to honor tradition. Hadrian is said to have established the cult of the goddess Roma on April 21st in the year 121 CE.

Avete Omnes,

It is my pleasure to bring to you the first writing contest -
hopefully the first of many, in Nova Roma. The purpose of this is
fourfold:

1 - Further develop the Nova Roma Wiki by the creation of articles
that are more than just a couple of sentences long.
2 - Spark more interesting discussion on the ML and sodalitas lists
(since once posted on the ML and appropriate to sodalitas - the
information can be posted there as well)
3 - To allow the writers of Nova Roma to wax lyrical on their skills
and get some publicity from it. :)
4 - To develop a more academic level of discussion through the use of
sources in the writing.

To accomplish this we will have a monthly contest.

March's topic is: Roman Personalities (This includes Nova Roma
Personalities - Yes I was asked if that was also in the topic)

Minimum requirements:

All entries must be sent to robert.woolwine@.... Any entry
posted on any list will be disqualified.
Entries must have a minimum of 300 words typed
3 sources must be utilized in the article.
Language used must be English.
Entries must be submitted to robert.woolwine@... by March 10th.
There are no maxiumum word counts nor maximum number of references.

Judges - who are mostly lined up will have a week to judge the papers.
They will then return their results to robert.woolwine@...
Judges will be given blind papers to review, In other words they will
be getting the papers directly from me with no identifying author -
this will keep it about as impartial as I can make it.
Judges cannot participate in the contest (for obvious reasons).

If you win two contest in one year (12 month revolving) then you will
be unable to compete until the earliest anniversary, In other words,
if you win the March and August entry and it is now December you
cannot participate for the sake of earning a prize until next March
rolls around.

All information presented for the contest is your own original work -
it can be submitted to a plagerism checker for verification, and the
work can be posted on the Nova Roma website with authorship
identified.

Prize: Either a $15.00 gift card or a $15.00 paypal deposit.
Article to be posted on the Nova Roma Mainlist - credit to
the author.
Article to be posted and promoted on the Nova Roma Wiki website

If anyone has any questions or concerns - please post them. I have
tried to think of everything - but I am sure someone will have a good
question that I did not think of or forgot to include and this is a
learning experience at this point.

Respectfully,

I don't have a law degree, but I did study basic criminal law while pursuing my degree in criminal justice.  Just enough to understand what's going on in a criminal proceeding, but only a fraction of what a lawyer learns.  Since I work in private security, I don't need to know much more than that anyway.

Optime valete!

Ave,

I am not a lawyer at all....the best I can say is that I have a paralegals
degree, but I have a Bachelors in Political Science, an MBA and a Masters
in Education.

Vale,

Subject: IRS Interview
Avete Omnes,

Today was the phone interview with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
This, of course, was due to our organization being referred to audit.
A couple of weeks ago, I had sent over 250 pages worth of
documentation as requested by the IRS. The agent reviewed the
documentation and for the past hour interviewed me over the phone with
questions on a variety of topics related to the complaint that was
filed as well as questions regarding the history of the organization,
how we conduct elections, how new members come to the organization,
the tax system we have in place. I answered every question asked.

After about an hour on the phone he stated that he has no problems
closing the audit for the organization. That it is clear that we hold
board meetings, that the membership are notified regards to the
meetings and that we hold elections. He will prepare his report
within 2 weeks to go to his supervisor for signature. Then a letter
will be mailed to me confirming that the audit of Nova Roma is over,
unless if his supervisor has any questions.

As soon as I receive the letter I will make sure it is scanned and put
on the website.

The one compliment he clearly gave to Nova Roma, the IRS agent, was
our transparency. He stated it is clear that if anyone had any
questions on what the Board of Directors met on, that it can be found
easily on the website. He said that the complaint that was filed to
us was shown to be without merit given the transparency. To this I
give sincere thanks to Lentulus and the others who keep our website
updated!

What a wonderful wonderful day!

Respectfully,

Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix
Consul of Nova Roma
