I hardly think she'd join the Facebook group for Aussiecon 4 if she didn't plan on going. Happy birthday for tomorrow, Michael.

I wonder if you would have recognised "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" as coming from that source.

I hope you had an enjoyable birthday. The copy I have looks as if it could well be a first edition; there's nothing on the inside front page to indicate that there have been previous editions. The publisher is Harper Collins and the date 1992. I hadn't looked closely at it when I got your letter, I now see that there is quite a lot of text in it, so I'll get back to you when I've read that. Anyway, your birthday is now past so you can't say to me "It'sss my birthday and I wantsss it!" :) Ted --- On Wed, 2/9/09, Michael Kennedy wrote: That's a great find! Is it a first edition?

I found it on the Google maps. I also found train timetables. Looks like you can get back to the city from Pascoe Vale on trains up to 11pm+ every 30 minutes on Saturdays. Please correct me if that's wrong. Home they brought her warrior dead: She nor swooned, nor uttered cry: All her maidens, watching, said, ?She must weep or she will die.? Then they praised him, soft and low, Called him worthy to be loved, Truest friend and noblest foe; Yet she neither spoke nor moved. Stole a maiden from her place, Lightly to the warrior stepped, Took the face-cloth from the face; Yet she neither moved nor wept. Rose a nurse of ninety years, Set his child upon her knee?

Evidence bears out that he was deeply in love with Edith and even the sight of her influenced his epic 3x (Thingol/Melian, Beren/Luthien, Aragron/Arwen)--each were versions of the meeting of the other person....each time the woman was something "other' and mysterious and non-mortal.

That may be a newer idea since women's lib and all. my 2 cents Elise > My impression from Carpenter's biography was that JRRT was very much? in love with Edith and the inscription on the grave would appear to? bear this out. The fact that he said little about women, to the? point of virtually nothing regarding Aragorn and Arwen (leaving us? mystified about why he showed no interest in Eowyn), was as I see it? just his way of story telling when he saw the romance side as very? much a secondary matter compared with the war against Sauron.> Tolkien seems to have written much of his work in the British 1930's and 1940's "Boys Own" style, albiet with added layers. That means the stories are basically rollicking adventure yarns. Boys Own stories did not have romance in them ... that was the province of the Girl's Own stories .. and never shall the twain meet. Women appeared in Boys Own stories, but they were always part of the background, never central or even secondary characters. Central characters were always boys or young men. Hence the hobbits who were always 'boys', no matter how old they were. As in Boys Own fiction, the secondary characters were strong adult male role models, such as Gandalf, Aragorn, Elrond and co. Legolas and Gimli, being non-humans are part of the scenery, and even they they tend to behave like boys rather than adults. Older boys, but still boys. They are not adult role models. cheers, David From krenon at y7mail.com Sat Sep 5 06:47:49 2009 From: krenon at y7mail.com (Edwin Scribner) Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2009 13:47:49 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [TolHarndor] The Tolkien Family Album In-Reply-To: <618809644F7F440F813BDFAC489C321D@Michael> Message-ID: <107843.91363.qm@web110206.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> If Ros ever finds another one at a similar price it's yours, OK? --- On Fri, 4/9/09, Michael Kennedy wrote: It may be that only one edition was ever published.

I was going to remark a little while ago that if you say Wien you should say ?sterreich. I presume it will be fairly cold over there in the next few months. You'll probably even see Schnee! Actually, btw, we didn't see any smoke despite the fact that the HRB was going on just up the road. The wind must have been blowing from the west rather than north west which is more common.

You are 2 hours ahead of Sydney time (or 22 hours behind) since the time stamp was 4:45pm. Most likely you're in NZ, which is 2 hours ahead of AEST. -22 hours would put you somewhere in the Pacific, just east of the date line. Unlikely. The tremors reference supports this .. unless you're on the set for the Z-grade move, Tremors 6. :) Temp for Auckland, according to google, is 13C with winds from the SW at 11km/h. Wellington is the same, tho' the wind is a bit brisker at 21kph. The later is perhaps a bit too strong to qualify as a zephyr, so I'd say you were in Auckland, or somewhere near there with near identical weather. But anything more specific than NZ would be a tad speculative. cheers, David > > Michael > > Quoting David Powell : > >> Quoting Jeff Lynch : >> >>> Thanks Ted ....reminding us all of the weather to come....NO WEATHER >>> REPORT >>> FROM HERE TODAY......soon I willl giving out weather reports for >>> Austria. >> >> Give a wave to Cynthia when you get there.

Yes I hope the cats win. There is a lady in Geelong who sold me a very important and rare book that I couldn't get anywhere else. The book was "Paul Sorensen - Master Gardener" by Richard Ratcliffe, and it's been out of print since 1990 when a small print run sold out within weeks. Part of our land is a Sorensen garden.

I'm not entirely happy with everything about it and the customer service is poor these days .. but it offers daily updates and it seems to do a good job of protecting computers. It's also not a resource hog, so having it does not noticeably slow down your computer like some other AV software, such as nortons. I have a corporate package from symantec at work which was installed recently .. and there is a noticeable performance degrading ever since it was installed. CA also installs cleanly and uninstalls cleanly .. to uninstall just run a single uninstall from the add/remove programmes in the control panel, reboot .. and all traces are gone. Some other AV software, on the other hand, can be incredibly hard to remove, depending on the system you may need to reformat the hard drive & reinstall the OS to remove an AV package I've mentioned above (hence it often being referred to as a virus). Not always ... but, for instance, with Nortons, you have to run several uninstallers from the add/remove programmes and even after that, you have to download a special programme from their website to remove additional parts of the nortons package which cannot be removed using the uninstaller that is added when you install it originally. Removing it with the vista version of nortons seems a little bit cleaner - I recently bought a new laptop which came with it bundled and I only had to run 3 or 4 uninstallers from add/remove to get rid of almost all of it .. tho' when I looked in the registry, there were still traces which I removed manually. What issues do you have with CA? Kaspersky Labs (I think that is the right spelling) has a good rep, so that's another you could use. Remember, you need to have a commercial firewall, antivirus and antispyware. CA does have a security package which bundles all three together, tho' I don't use that since I have a dedicated hardware/software firewall setup. If I didn't, I'd use the combo package. CA is very user friendly and operates pretty silently. Daily updates are not too sizable and about the only user attention that it prompts you with is to do an occasional quick anti-spyware scan since I don't have the scheduled scan selected (if I did I liekly would not get even that reminder). Scheduled scans slow down the system and I like to pick when I scan since I do a lot of recording off foxtel and a scheduled scan would hash the recording, which is resource hungry. The two main bugs I have with CA is that it is too user friendly, so for a computer geek like me, it is not very adjustable .. but most AV/AS software is going that way these days. 2ndly I've heard that it does not automatically scan flash drives when inserted. That was for an older version, so may be fixed in the current version ... but I never assume the auto-scan with any external media and always scan something before I access it. I suspect this is fixed since since last year you could get a version that ran off a USB drive so it'd be silly for the hard drive version not to automatically scan when a USB is inserted. Another plus for CA .. it's based on the VET AV package which was developed here in OZ. > I use Eudora Pro 4, which is, I'll admit, a bit out of date, but all > mail storage is in plain text, unlike Outlook Express. With virus technology the way it is today you really need to have an up to date emailer to reduce potential security issues .. the older the emailer, the more security flaws it would have. If you want to stick with eudora, upgrade to the current version (http://www.eudora.com/download/). The mozilla suite also stores email in text format and you can import all eudora settings and stored mail into mozilla software (there's an import option). You may want to consider thunderbird rather than seamonkey .. the later is more for computer geeks. Eudora, as of version 8, is open source, so is free to acquire and use. Earlier versions are also free now, but you don't get all the extras with the free install version (pre v.8). > Regarding the inscription on the ring: was it something like > "Property of New Line Cinema"?

Have you read Richard Harland's "Worldshaker"? I mean to read it when I can get around to laying my hands on a copy. --- On Wed, 30/9/09, Michael Kennedy wrote: Jeff - since when did you have care for the rules and who is Mathew Arnold? Your Vienna trip is starting to take shape. What's the green wine? I'm not going anywhere as exotic but again I head off to Auckland today, returning on Friday. Apparently it is raining there today. Just about finished the Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. Highly recommended if you are into 'Sensation' novels. I'm on the lookout for more of his works. __________________________________________________________________________________ Get more done like never before with Yahoo!7 Mail.
