<div>The majority of people in the [[SCA]] take on some sort of persona, kind of an 'alter ego'. For most people, it's just their usual self with a different name, but others "play" their persona.<br />
<br />
Your '''persona''' is your alternate name, or [[SCA name]] which people refer to you as in the society. It may come from a particular place (e.g. [[Ireland]] or [[Germany]]) and/or time (e.g. [[12th century]]), and you can create a story behind your persona. Some like to [[dress]] in the style of their persona, so if they have an [[Italy|Italian]] name, they may choose to wear Italian [[garb]] or [[armour]], and have an Italian-style [[device]].<br />
<br />
Then again, there's the other type of people who simply have an [[SCA name]], wear whatever clothes they like, have a device that doesn't match their persona, and cover [[period|a whole range of time periods]], and that is perfectly fine and acceptable too. The SCA doesn't care. It's entirely up to '''you''' how you play the game.<br />
<br />

For hints on developing an [[SCA]] '''persona''' in a little more depth, follow some of the links below to the ''Your SCA Persona is a ...'' section. Be aware that some of the comments presented therein are occasionally a little tongue-in-cheek. But then again, that's what the [[SCA]] is about at times.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Church''' can mean a building for public, especially [[Christian]] [[worship]], or it can mean the institution that runs such buildings.<br />
<br />
Prior to the [[Reformation]] and the advent of [[Protestant]] religion this usually meant the [[Catholic Church]] (or the [[Orthodox Christian Church]] for Greek and many Slavic [[persona]]); however, after [[1517]] and the edicts of [[Martin Luther]] it could mean any of the [[Protestant]] churches as well.<br />
<br />
The [[Jew]]ish equivalent is the [[Synagogue]].</div>Ogopogohttps://cunnan.lochac.sca.org/index.php?title=Lettuce&diff=15966Lettuce2005-08-07T07:47:00Z<p>Ogopogo: </p>

<div>'''Lettuce''' (''Lactuca sativa'') is an annual plant, whose leaves are harvested for culinary purposes. It probably originated from the Mediterranean, and the Romans used it as a [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/soporific soporific].<br />
<br />
To grow, Lettuce enjoys rich, moist soil. It enjoys it so much so, that short of flooding it seems impossible to overwater lettuce. Hot weather and underwatering often cause lettuce to go to seed, at which point the leaves become bitter. Lettuce is also one of the few [[vegetables]] that can be sown successively in the same position.<br />
