That's quite an interesting parallel and coincidence. I say 'coincidence'
because the 'concept' of the one ruling ring came about in 1938, a couple of
years before the first Green lantern comic, so I would be surprised if it
had any influence at all. 

Maybe it was the other way round! Was it a US or UK publication?

USA I believe.

Besides, there're plenty of rings and ruling rings in mythology.

Nice work 007! 

We need to finalise the theme and title for the Seminar and I will then
notify the TS of our intention. Following that I'll put out a call for
papers.

Jeff - can you forward me Sarah's e-mail address?

Clearly, the Brunnie Baths is the hub of Brunswick!

Yes make that shaken and not stirred Mikhail,
The Brunnie baths win again.........please to remember I met DB there
too....at what Lorenzo ( u do not need to know who Lorenzo is).......calls
Sexercising!
Yes I will send her addy to you (prob Manana)....as I said she is apprised
fully.......err partially......it would take me a week to fill her in on
your abilities, talents and penchants including mania foe slavery,flying
High, cricket...that's a lie I did not mention anythinf of your non Howard
Trajedies..........mmmmm.....but I did say t hat you were an experienced
(media) communicator tho.............
but as I've already indicated I told her of your existence......and I also
said (quite truthfully) that anything that happens in Tol Harndor is
(obviously) your fault...........she does expect you to contact her
(PROBABLY BY ELECTRONIC MEANS) .......She says that we would be responsible
for seeing that the place is lean afterwards etc
And maybe the baths.and their healing and welding power does
provide...........As Pascal said....'Le couer a sais raisons que le tete ne
connait pas.' et never a truer word was ever written....according to...this
ex red headed......hopeless West Brunnie Romantic.

Bye the bye.I am Researching Alexander von Humboldt ( from Berlin via
Caracas....and New Andalusia)...that is to say in South America.....where
Venezuela is today...you scientific bastards out there got some clues for
moi?...I have started a journal as written by travelling companion Bonpland
( a Frenchman).......continued.....

Ah south of my days..............etc

Official Wether Changes.

The puddli'n weather is middl'n fine
And the f'ing fires went into decline.
Autumn's Apollo chases fleeing Daphne,
And Melbourne's cooler blessings
Run right down to the sea.

And moochings are like that proverbial stone.
We move with caution or we move alone.
There's no easy answer with another human.
A small sturm und drang will always be near,
It's so damn hard dealing without fuming.

And hour or two and I'll show up back.
I am here looking pleased, just to pay her back.
Cracks papered over we start out once again,
Weather forgotten; Melbourne changes so fast,
Shine follows frost, follows fire, follows rain.

Be wary of girls that come out of the water - they might be more than they
seem!

Hey Jeff,

Don't you be concerned - I'll have plenty for you to do soon enough! Now
that we have the venue everything else will revolve around that. At some
point we will need to look at caterers but they may have some
recommendations. Is this hall used commonly for such talkfests do you know?

I'm also in communication with The Tolkien Society to see if this Seminar
will be an 'official' on. It will matter not at all as far as us holding the
event goes - only in name. There have been a few upheavals in the TS of
late.

How'd the quake measure up to you last night? Maybe you should start getting
out of bed with a little more care?

Great news on the full water-tank! We have been procrastinating on that one,
but have been lucky with rain this year. Must look into it!

Michael

When Hallstein son of Thorolf Mostbeard found a suitable homestead on Iceland, he sacrificed to Thor, imploring the god to provide the ceremonial high seat posts he needed to complete his great hall. Evidently Thor heard: a mighty log washed ashore, big enough to supply seat posts for all the settlers round about. Years earlier, when Hallstein's father and other Norse pioneers sailed for Iceland, they had found themselves in the opposite fix. They had brought seat posts from home but needed a good place to settle. As they approached Iceland, they tossed their precious posts overboard and followed them to the places Thor supposedly chose for them. But the two prayers had something in common: the same sound ocean science underlay them both.

Dearv all........mainly Mihkail

Been studying the water in my tank for so long..........I near as
fainted!!!!.at der sight of a near (only) 500 litres........now working on
another idea.........a smaller drainoffish tank..........noticed that a
spill (must) happen when the roof supplies more than 500?
No argument?
Well a near top Syphon to another........peutetre smaller tank....and pehaps
a (portable) not potable! tank could cover both an overflow and a bottoming
pour off......say a ten gallon bucketank...one I COULD carry!
Too busy to have been involved speaking to Dr Wills (Sarah type) Will soon!
Will ask her if catering.........academics are lot of tossers anyhow!

love jeff..PSSSSSSS.....The earth has not moved for me lately..the epicentre
(so I understand )was at Korrumburra.some 134.0000000006 KS from West
Brunswick.....but I want badly enough to be moved.....so will keep on
listening to my Jazz and Classic recordings.many on (wax)
Note..soon to contact Dr Sarah...........DB says that I should do more than
contact her.........but DB is a wanton liar.........and a jealous one at

Are you certain that all that siphoning and storage are not  
responsible for the earth moving down south? As soon as I heard the  
reports last week my first thoughts were all revolved around the Lynch.

I contacted Sara last week and I eagerly await reply. Basically just  
looking to confirm that we have the hall, room, or booth for the  
duration of one day. Will let you know when I hear from her.

Dear (mainly) Mikhail,
Well it's true that my actions re the sloppily placed water
direction.........tho'' this might have been due to the rotation of the
earth it was only my rotten design..........the plasctic stanchion.much
ribbed but still too weak started to buckle and thus near causing the
tank.half filled to topple..I just managed to rescue it...now I am about to
buy a second tank....same size at 500 litres..(Wa's that!).........any how I am
about to bore into the near top of the first tank.with a Hole
driller..andplace a plastic pipe length into it and take it down.in a slope
(nat!) to the second!!!!!!
Ovewrflow captured.....'lest he could nee'r recapture that first fine
careless rapture'......prize fot first (ungoogled) Answer to the
POET.....evenmore if The Poem is named.

DB is for DIZZY BLONDE!
She is Gwynneth.....ie .......Gwen..ie ...Gwen Haines....... my lady when
she is being one.
Good will await on Sarah's Say
love jeff

Are you still planning to hold this on the weekend of Aussiecon 4? Or did I get it wrong (I hope)?

Yes.  It's not on the same w/e as Aussiecon. The plan is for the 28th
August, 2010 - a week before. Hopefully that will fit in well with anyone
that wants to attend both. 

Just waiting to hear confirmation about the venue.

Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum!

Oh wait, that's a pirate.

Here we go ..

"I see a dark sail on the horizon set under a black
cloud that hides the sun.

Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding.
Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.

Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding.
Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman.
Bless with a hard heart those who surround me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind. Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on for the motherland."

That's the lyrics to Broadsword, a very Vikingish (or at least 
Anglosaxonish) song by Jethro Tull.

BTW, re the original post on this theme ... there were plenty of other 
races that were proficient oceanographers LONG before the Vikings even 
existed as a race, let along went a-viking. The resisends of Easter 
Island deserve a special mention .. having arrived there from Taiwan, 
via Polynesia. A more impressive feat than reaching Greenland.

cheers,
David
