	Northvegr - The Saga of Halfdan Eysteinsson
		Halfdan saw that the smaller Grim had taken off his glove and his hand was bare.
		Halfdan then sprang to his feet and ran to the door where the light had been thrown, but it was locked.
		Halfdan visited the royal chamber, and there the king was dead, lying with a sword through him, along with three small attendants.

	Synopsis: HALFDAN THE BLACK, copyright 2003
		Halfdan's cousin Duke Eirik Bloodspear, a handsome chieftain, warrior technician and sub commander of Halfdan's armies, Thorvald Blood Dancer the Wolf-shirt Berserk, Dag Jotunn, Hring's father who is 8 feet tall and a true giant, Dag's wife Alvi who is a warrior and is a giant 7 foot tall woman in her own right.
		Halfdan and his men win the siege in the mountains, and chase the unlucky King Eystein out of his own hereditary province, forcing him to seek help from the wild northerners, who are more old-fashioned and lawless than the seagoing and relatively cosmopolitan Halfdan and his allies.
		Halfdan takes a fancy to a captive, (an Egyptian slave girl who had been taken by Ulf and his men on one of their raids in Germany where she was a life-long slave).

	In Memory of Halfdan
		Halfdan was one of our founding members, and one who stood out among the crowd as a person who lived by the ideals of Chivalry every day of his life.
		Halfdan hosted Armoring and Garb making parties at his house and was left to clean up clippings, thread, and leather shavings each morning after.
		Halfdan was the one who volunteered to pick someone up if they needed a ride to a local event, meeting or party, even if they were in Nordskogen, Darkstone or Shattered Oak.

	Lorenzo C. Bailey's Galaxy: Beyond Sanctuary
		Halfdan, in the tunnel with Lupin and Worf, found the trap release, but there was no indication of how to disarm the trap.
		Halfdan did determine that the trap was simply triggered by a pressure plate on the floor, easily detectable for the wary, however, he was unable to find any mechanism to permanently disarm the trap.
		Halfdan advised this was just minor sorcery and could not cause harm and the party quickly moved past the area.

	OMACL: The Danish History: Book Seven
		Halfdan, though he had reached old age a bachelor, was stirred by the promise of the chief as much as by the insolence of the champion, and went to Norway.
		Halfdan rejoined that she brought against him two faults: one that his blood was not illustrious enough; another, that he was blemished with a cracked lip whose scar had never healed.
		Halfdan demanded another champion in his place, slew him when he appeared, and was soon awarded the palm of valour even by the voice of the enemy, being accounted by public acclamation the bravest of all.

	Halfdan's Xhosa America Thesis \| Corrente
		Halfdan, a reader at Atrios, sums up what I think is the heart of the matter brilliantly:
		Frank’s thesis is that right-wing Republicans have managed to merge political conservatism with religious conservatism, and the result is that Christian rural voters are forced to choose between their Christian identity (pretty much all they have left) and a Godless liberalism.
		In a way, pulpit Bushians are the worst kind of Republicans, because they do what all the Cornerites and Beltway whores can never do: speak in the language of red state America.

	Torf-Einar and the Blood Eagle
		"Considering the kind of mother you have," said the Earl, "slave bornon each side of her family, you are not likely to make much of a ruler.
		Halfdan, together with his brother, Gudrod Gleam, were rebellious troublemakers who preyed on Norway's earls.
		In Orkney, Halfdan declared himself king, and Earl Einar was forced to flee to Scotland.

	Tales From Two Hemispheres - The Man V
		This was the reflection which was uppermost in Halfdan's mind as Edith, ravishing to behold in the airy grace of her fragrant morning toilet, at the appointed time took her seat at his side before the piano.
		Halfdan immediately recognized his acquaintance from the park, and it appeared to him a good omen that this child, whose friendly interest in him had warmed his heart in a moment when his fortunes seemed so desperate, should continue to be associated with his life on this new continent.
		Halfdan in the meanwhile was vainly struggling against his growing passion for Edith; but the more he rebelled the more hopelessly he found himself entangled in its inextricable net.

	The Man Who Lost His Name Page 8
		If he was guilty of an innocent witticism or a little quaintness of expression, she always assumed it to be a mistake of terms and corrected him with an air of benign superiority.
		Women have wonderfully keen senses for phenomena of that kind, and it is an illusion if any one imagines, as our Norseman did, that he has locked his secret securely in the hidden chamber of his heart.
		Edith had, in her first delight at the discovery of Halfdan's talent, frankly admitted him to a relation of apparent equality.

		Although, some of Halfdan's followers had survived and fled, those who were captured were forced to swear allegiance to Frodi.
		Those who were loyal to Halfdan's sons were allowed to leave the palace, which included Saevil and Signy.

		At half-past four o'clock in the afternoon, Halfdan found himself standing in a large, dimly lighted drawing-room, whose brilliant upholstery, luxurious carpets, and fantastically twisted furniture dazzled and bewildered his senses.
		Halfdan silently signified his willingness and followed the ladies to a smaller apartment which was separated from the drawing-room by folding doors.
		The apparition of the beautiful young girl who was walking at his side had suddenly filled him with a strange burning and shuddering happiness; he could not tear his eyes away from her; she held him as by a powerful spell.

	Tales From Two Hemispheres - The Man IV
		The Man IV t half-past four o'clock in the afternoon, Halfdan found himself standing in a large, dimly lighted drawing-room, whose brilliant upholstery, luxurious carpets, and fantastically twisted furniture dazzled and bewildered his senses.
		Halfdan sat down at the grand piano and played Chopin's Nocturne in G major, flinging out that elaborate filigree of sound with an impetuosity and superb ABANDON which caused the ladies to exchange astonished glances behind his back.
		Halfdan acknowledged the compliment by a bow and a blush, and repeated the latter part of the nocturne according to Edith's request.

	Archived Treasure Hunting: History of English Coins
		They are small, rather thick pieces, presenting a great variety in the typos shown upon them, but in most cases without the name of any king, without indeed intelligible legend of any kind, so that it is impossible to determine accurately the date of their issue.
		Though we are not to associate any improvements in the arts of peace with the vikings, it is nevertheless a fact that the coming of these marauders had in many places considerable influence, either in the introduction of a coinage where it was entirely unknown, or in the improvement of one which previously existed.
		Of the influence of the last kind we have just mentioned one instance, that of the introduction of the silver penny into the north of England.

	The Pinnacle
		"Kind of a Blur" directed by Jon Goldman and starring Sandra Oh and John Wright tells the story of a couple who have been out all night with blurred memories of the evening before.
		It isn't the kind of venue where feet are propped up on the seats and popcorn is spilled on the floor.
		The film is about a trio of comic book writers who look for inspiration by dressing up as their characters at a taco shack.

	EconLog, My Earliest Encounter with Economic Absurdity, Bryan Caplan: Library of Economics and Liberty
		If Halfdan has been at least civil to the magician, Thigru will ask nothing more than a third level spell in return, plus another spell, plus some minor magic item such as a set of three potions, a scroll of 3 spells, or perhaps a ring of invisibility...
		Now, Halfdan's player gains the ability to be central to the action of a wider selection of scenes if he has a wider selection of spells.
		Halfdan getting a better deal if he's saved Thigru's life has nothing to do with realism, either.

	The Change Project: Ilona Kickbush
		I was the kind of person who would go to work in purple coveralls.
		It should become a win-win situation, both for those who have the political responsibility to make their cities healthier places, and for the many community groups that are interested in their immediate living environment.
		The particular kinds of things that Greater Southeast has to do are specifically American, given the structure of your cities.

	Halfdan the Valiant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Åsa was her father's daughter and made Guðröðr murder his own brother Halfdan, the father of Ivar Vidfamne.
		Whereas Hversu and Ynglinga saga don't inform about Halfdan's mother, Hervarar saga provides the information that she was Hild, the daughter of the Gothic king Heiðrekr Ulfhamr, the son of Angantyr who defeated the Huns.
		It then tells that Halfdan had the son Ivar Vidfamne, who attacked Ingjald Ill-ruler, which led to Ingjald's suicide by burning down his own hall at Ræning together with all his retinue.

		With strength of her kind she clutched the Great Hand round the wrist, and bade Hadding strike it with his sword.

	Road to Hel - NECROMANCY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		A picture of the animated dead of a cruder kind is found in the gruesome story of the deaths from the plague in Eiríks Saga Rauða (VI) and Þorfinns Saga Karlsefnis (V).
		In this form of raising the dead, however, the motive is clearly not that of obtaining wisdom, but a desire to profit from the considerable physical strength of the draugr, and to overcome an enemy by the recuperative powers of such an army.
		It will be remembered that in the first group of poems we examined it seemed necessary to take into consideration certain poems in which the knowledge was imparted by a woman in reply to questioning, and where it was not clear whether she had been raised from the dead or not.

	! Assembly of The Elder Troth - Article - Reaves - Investigations
		The ancient heathen heroic epic about Halfdan and his descendants was sentenced to oblivion and dissolution; but the scattered pieces had life and with newly historic and quasi-historic support were tied in anew with legends about the Gothic King Hermanrich, about Odoacer, King Theoderich, and King Attila.
		Demonstrably, and proven in this work, is that Halfdan, the first king, is the son of Skjold-Borgar, the first judge; that the fimbul-winter began while they still live, and caused the great migrations from the North, and that Skjold-Borgar is the son of Heimdall-Righ, the bringer of culture.
		Thus, beside the solid scientific structure that was raised on Darwinism's foundation, a quasi-scientific fairy-castle has arisen, which distinguishes itself from the fairy-structures of the imagination only in that it lacks that which gives fantasy-making value, and possesses that which fantasy-making ought to do without in order to not lose the value it has.

	'The Inheritance' - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
		A Danish-Swedish co-production directed by Denmark's Per Fly, "The Inheritance" is noticeably European in its concern with the conflicts between the demands of family, the passions of romantic love and the crushing burdens and responsibilities of class and work.
		In its exploration of societal forces and personal emotions that are strong enough to rip people apart, it's the kind of film that another Scandinavian, dramatist Henrik Ibsen, would have appreciated.
		He walks to a residential neighborhood and looks with a kind of regret at a window through which a stunning blond is visible.

	THE DOCTOR'S WORLD; VACCINE PREVENTING A CANCER? - New York Times
		But although they have developed a successful immunization against one cancer in animals - Marek's disease, a kind of leukemia among chickens - they have never done it in humans.
		Now there is an excellent chance that a standard vaccine, already in production, will prevent one of the 10 most prevalent forms of human cancer in the world.
		Efforts have begun in China on an extraordinary experiment that Dr. Halfdan Mahler, director of the World Health Organization, says presents medical science with an opportunity unique in the history of cancer research.

	Historic New England: Defining the Past. Shaping the Future.
		Harry Sleeper, the youngest of three sons, was born in Boston in 1878, the grandson of a well-to-do cloth manufacturer and the son of a Civil War hero.
		His mother, Maria Wescott Sleeper, came from an old New England family whose roots were a source of pride to Sleeper and inspired his veneration of the nation’s founding fathers, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin in particular.
		Working with Gloucester, Massachusetts, architect Halfdan Hanson over a period of 27 years, Sleeper produced in Beauport a magnificent combination of French, English, colonial American, and oriental motifs.

	Stefan Brink - page 6
		It seems to be very difficult to separate one kind of special activity from another.
		This situation may be a consequence of lack of sources or very sparse source-material, but it may also be due to the fact that during these periods a specialization had not yet emerged to any great extent; one individual could represent many different functions and could perform many different acts or tasks.
		In this presentation, I hope to be able to make two points: (i) the exciting perspectives that this kind of broad, settlement-historical approach opens up, in which many different source materials intermingle, and (ii) the potential that this kind of research has for the reconstruction of the ancient Scandinavian history and society.

	The Shire Fellowship
		The only definite reincarnation in Irish tales I know of is the story that Etain Echrade, the wife of the god Mider, was enchanted into the form of an insect, accidently swallowed by the wife of a certain Etar, and reborn to her with no memory of her earlier existance.
		This individual tale cannot be used to argue for any kind of belief in general reincarnation of mortals after death.
		There is a kind of optimism and serenity to Gandalf’s phrase concerning Glorfindel being an entity of light, “on the other side”.
