[Ravensfort] Name for new site

[HerrDetlef]

Actually, the idea about Raven's Acre came to me yesterday because I was
listening to Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" (It was the last day of Carnival,
after all)........and I had just gotten to the section titled "Uf dem
Ager"....meaning "On the Field"........and since "Acre" is a cognate for
"Ager"; well, there you go.  One could also go with "Raven's Field", I
guess.

But since Green Acres was near Hooterville, and Raven's Acre (?) would be
near Hooterville (okay, okay.....different spelling and pronunciation), your
connection makes a bit of sense, Devin.

All of a sudden, I AM SCARED!

Hwæt! We Gardena         in geardagum,
þeodcyninga,         þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas         ellen fremedon.
Oft Scyld Scefing         sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum,         meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorlas.         Syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden,         he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum,         weorðmyndum þah,
oðþæt him æghwylc         þara ymbsittendra
ofer hronrade         hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan.         þæt wæs god cyning!

Beowulf, 1-11
