June 2014
The 2014 FIFA World Cup (beginning June 12th) will hold matches in several Brazilian cities: Belo Horizonte, Brasilia (the capital), Cuiaba, Curitiba, Fortaleza, Manaus, Natal, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and Sao Paulo. Brazil is the largest country in South America, only slightly smaller than the United States. Portuguese is the official language.
Following more than three centuries under Portuguese rule, Brazil gained its independence in 1822, maintaining a monarchical system of government until the abolition of slavery in 1888 and the subsequent proclamation of a republic by the military in 1889. Brazilian coffee exporters politically dominated the country until populist leader Getulio Vargas rose to power in 1930. By far the largest and most populous country in South America, Brazil underwent more than a half century of populist and military government until 1985, when the military regime peacefully ceded power to civilian rulers. Brazil continues to pursue industrial and agricultural growth and development of its interior. Exploiting vast natural resources and a large labor pool, it is today South America's leading economic power and a regional leader, one of the first in the area to begin an economic recovery.
The majority of Brazil's climate is tropical, but the south enjoys a temperate climate. The terrain in the north is mostly flat to rolling lowlands; there is a narrow coastal belt and mountains in the interior. The natural resources of the country include: bauxite, gold, iron ore, manganese, nickel, phosphates, platinum, tin, rare earth elements, uranium, petroleum, hydropower, and timber. Recurring droughts in northeast and floods and occasional frost in south comprise the major natural hazards of Brazil. As the largest country in South America, it shares boundaries with every country, except Chile and Ecuador.

Olivia and Shikhiu's wedding ceremony was held in the heart of Brooklyn's Prospect Park, a legendary green space designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux.
A new city. A new love. For Shikhiu, the former led to the latter when a move to New York introduced him to the woman of his dreams, Olivia. Sparks flew when they met at a concert in Central Park, and two years later, a nervous Shikhiu knelt down and proposed in a room filled with rose petals and all of the photos he and Olivia had taken together. Though Olivia hailed from Hong Kong and Shikhiu grew up in St. Louis, they both agreed that their wedding could only be held in one place—the city in which they fell head over heels in love. So on a brilliant summer day, not unlike the one on which they met, they married at the historic boathouse in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. Modeled after the 16th-century Library of St. Mark's in Venice, the Beaux Arts-style building provided an enchanting setting for the celebration. As swans glided by, friends and family gathered on the terrace for the ceremony which included paper fans for guests and charming illustrations of the couple. The reception also mixed elegance and whimsy. Miniature figurines of panda bears, Olivia and Shikhiu's favorite animal, greeted guests next to hand-calligraphed place cards. A row of French doors along the lake allowed guests to enjoy a breathtaking view of the sunset before they sent the couple off with heart-shaped sparklers.
The bride's monochromatic bouquet included buttermilk-hued English Garden roses and other ivory-colored flowers.
The ceremony took place on the terrace of a Venetian-inspired boathouse, which faced west to catch the sunset.
Olivia and Shikhiu clasped hands as a symbol of their union while reciting their vows in front of 75 guests.
During the wedding, a pair of swans made a brief appearance on the water next to the boathouse.
At midnight, guests bid the couple a festive farewell with heart-shaped sparklers.

So here's something I watched, and now you're going to watch it, after which point you'll probably say, "Wow, I watched that."
Inspired by Gears of War's "Meat Shield," the guys at Epic Meal Time have teamed up with FPS Russia and GameStop to make this video "how-to" guide, detailing… how to make a suit of body-armor out of actual meat.
Ingredients include a few thick slabs of ribs, tray after tray of bacon strips, and some "big-ass pepperonis," which I would imagine are best served alongside some extra big-ass fries.
The meat shield assembled, things get a little bit weird as FPS Russia's Kyle Myers empties a few clips into it, intercut with Epic Mealtime's MusclesGlasses actually eating the whole thing.
So while it doesn't have anything to do with Gears of War specifically, it is an enjoyably goofy orgy of meat-consumption and automatic weaponry.

The Theory of Everything is hands down James Marsh's finest. It is a biopic of the living (something producers rarely pick) miracle, Stephen Hawking. The life of the prodigy is smitten with misfortunes, wonders, eurekas, not to forget the love of his life Jane Hawking who sacrificed everything normal just to be with the polymath.
Plot of The Theory of Everything
The life of Stephen Hawking is in itself a melodramatic narrative which doesn't need any more filler to spice things up. It already reeks of mishaps and tragedies. What is worth noticing is the fact that despite all the adversities that dangled around in his life, that could have ended up becoming a documentary per se, Jane still had plenty to do in it. Nay, she was one of the primal forces! It was pulled off and buffed up brilliantly by Jane, without whom the master couldn't have possibly ever made it.
So, The Theory of Everything movie packs in a story that scales the lives of both of them. It pays equal importance to its deuteragonist, and lets you have a good look into things that constituted their living.
Direction of the movie
One of the reasons The Theory of Everything movie stays highly revered in my head is because James Marsh tries his level best to present theories in the easiest way possible. Complex structures that general multitude wouldn't get have been expounded brilliantly at different points of time. He presents simple examples to make us understand. He also endeavors to make things relate to us by explaining Hawking's magnificent discoveries. Even whilst he diligently does that he makes sure not to miss out the fundament – the alluring drama that the flick gorgeously carries.
Marsh captures every aspect, every crossroad and setback that Hawking faced in his life with perfection. People tend to remember only the renowned. But what Marsh did by manifesting the parallel life of Jane Hawking, the mental agony she had to go through, the dilemma of not leading a normal life, the vexation of all the work she did, the hope that lit up her dead verve, the broken chance to escape from everything, and the jilted emptiness are far more beautiful and worth commending than the what Stephen clouded.
I have loved you. I did my best.
You can order The Theory of Everything here:
The Final Verdict
The story is also a beautiful reflection of a human mind's conundrum. It shows how at one point love dies and no matter what you do, and no matter how close you were, it always meets the same agonizing fate. Comes a time when there is no other option but to let go. Sometimes for the sake of the happiness of your other half.
Stephen Hawking is a living epitome of hope. It just goes on to show us how a will to fight, a reason to live and the gusto to learn could stop a brain from dying. A movie that should not be missed for the world.

text: Roland Emmerich has written a spec script with Harald Kloser called 2012 which is "apocalyptic." It was read around Hollywood yesterday and it could start a bidding war among studios today. It's a sure sign of the coming apocalypse if people are falling over themselves to give the man who butchered Godzilla another project before we find out what he does to Fantastic Voyage. I must admit, however, that I actually enjoyed Emmerich's The Day After Tomorrow — I hope I don't have to turn in my io9 ID for that. [Variety]

35395, Children's Songbook, The Gospel, Seek the Lord Early, 108
I'll seek the Lord early while in my youth,
And he will help me to know the truth.
I'll search the scriptures and find him there,
Then go to our Father in fervent prayer.
I'll seek the Lord early, and I'll obey
His living prophets in all they say.
I'll keep his commandments; his love will abound.
I will seek the Lord early, and he will be found.

Over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers can help relieve pain or lower a fever. Over-the-counter means you can buy these medicines without a prescription.
The most common types of over-the-counter pain medicines are acetaminophen and NSAIDs.
Alternative Names
Medications for pain non narcotic; Drugs for pain non-narcotic; Analgesics; Acetaminophen; NSAID; Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug; Pain medicine – over-the-counter; Pain medicine – OTC
Using over-the-counter pain relievers
Pain medicines are also called analgesics. Each kind of pain medicine has benefits and risks. Some types of pain respond better to one kind of medicine than to another kind. What takes away your pain might not work for someone else.
Taking these pain medicines before exercising is okay. But do not overdo the exercise just because you have taken the medicine.
For children, read label to learn how much medicine you can give to your child at one time and for the entire day. This is known as the dosage. Talk to your pharmacist or your child's health care provider if you are not sure about the correct amount. Do not give children medicine that is meant for adults.
Other tips for taking pain medicines:
- If you take pain relievers on most days, tell your doctor. You may need to be watched for side effects.
- Do not take more than the amount recommended on the bottle or more than your health care provider tells you to take.
- Read the warnings on the label before taking the medicine.
- Store
medicine safely and securely. Check the dates on medicine bottles to see when you should throw it away.
Acetaminophen is known as a non-aspirin pain reliever. It is not a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), which is described below.
- Acetaminophen relieves fever and headaches, and other common aches and pains. It does not relieve inflammation.
- This medicine does not cause as many stomach problems as other pain medicines do. It is also safer for children. Acetaminophen is often recommended for arthritis pain because it has fewer side effects than other pain medicines.
- Examples of OTC brands of acetaminophen are Tylenol, Paracetamol, and Panadol.
- Acetaminophen prescribed by a doctor is usually a stronger medicine. It is often combined with a narcotic ingredient.
- Adults should not take more than 3 grams (3,000 mg) of acetaminophen in a single day. Large amounts can harm your liver. 3 grams is about the same as 6 extra strength pills or 9 regular pills.
- If you are also taking pain medicine prescribed by your health care provider, talk to your health care provider or pharmacist before taking any OTC acetaminophen.
- For children, follow package instructions for the maximum amount your child can have in a single day. Call your health care provider if you are not sure about the instructions.
- NSAIDs relieve fever and pain. They also reduce swelling from arthritis or a muscle sprain or strain.
- When taken for a short time, no longer than 10 days, NSAIDs are safe for most people.
- Some NSAIDs can be bought OTC, such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn).
- Other NSAIDs are prescribed by your health care provider. These include celecoxib (Celebrex) and nabumetone (Relafen).
- DO NOT give aspirin to children.
Reye syndromecan occur when aspirin is used to treat children who have viral infections, such as chickenpox or the flu.
Talk to your health care provider or pharmacist before using any over-the-counter NSAID if you:
- Have heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, or stomach or digestive tract bleeding.
- Take other medicines, especially blood thinners such as
warfarinor clopidgrel.
- Are taking NSAIDs prescribed by your health care provider, including celecoxib (Celebrex) or nabumetone (Relafen).

Our government, it understands
That prayerful laying on of hands
And bugging God with vain demands
Can make the sick feel well
Examined with a skeptic's mind,
The study was not well designed
Not single-, much less double-blind
There's nothing it can tell.
The Templeton foundation tried
To use religion as their guide—
To show that prayer, when it's applied
Directly, really works
And now this bit of woo-ish blight
Is published on the "Health News" site—
Our government, endorsing shite—
Encouraging the jerks.
If each objecting thinker sent
A note expressing discontent
(With reasons), might the site repent
The error of their ways?
If modern thinkers shine their lights
On ancient superstitious rites,
We'll trade the ancient dark-age nights
For more enlightened days!
(Although they need to get in shape,
There is one fact we can't escape:
It's government. Expect red tape.
Proceed, of course, with care.
But if they claim, in their defense,
That study gave us evidence?
No higher thought, nor common sense—
They haven't got a prayer!)


text: Called My Dubstep Kitchen, it's a music video made by Sawyer Hartman that turns kitchen noises into song. Though not exactly the sort of audio regurgitation you expect to hear from typical Dubstep (where's the drop?), it's still a head nodding anthem made from an ordinary kitchen. That's right, the stove igniting, the cabinets opening, the toaster toasting, the foil ripping, the Pam spraying and more combine to make music for your ears. Though if any of this came to be in real life (especially right when I was waking up), it'd be a morning howl of horrors. [Sawyer Hartman]

Moderator: Dave JensenAdvisors: Ana, PG, Rich Lemert, Dick Woodward, Dave Walker Meet the Moderator/Advisors
Rich Lemert wrote:In addition to the excellent advice you've already received, I'd add two comments.
First, you seem to be putting a lot of energy into worrying about things you can't control. So you think the director is being rude/is jealous/whatever - what are you going to be able to do about it? There is only one person who's actions/attitudes you can control - focus on that person.
Second, if the situation is as you describe, do you really want that position? As I said, you're not going to miraculously going to change them. Chances are you get in that group and - assuming you've accurately described their attitudes - they're going to make your life miserable.
PG wrote:When you are in a situation in which you dont understand why a person is doing something it can often be helpful to see things from the other persons perspective. I will give you a hypothertical scenario that doesnt have anything to do with jealousy.
If you are a hiring manager and have found a candidate that you like, someone who fulfills the requirements for the position and that you Believe would work well with the rest of your team and be motivated to stay in this position for several years. In this situation your manager shows up and strongly recommends another candidate. You dont know if this recommendation is because this new candidate is a friend of your manager, if the person comes through other contacts or if the new candidate is actually a good candidate with the correct competence for the position.
Most likely you will not be overly enthusiastic when meeting the candidate the first time and if you in this meeting find something that speaks against the candidate such as that he is overqualified for the position and therefore likely to move on to something else in the near future you might find yourself stuck in less than comfortable situation were your boss wants you to hire someone that you dont want to hire.
If your boss hadnt pushed for this new candidate it would have been an easy decision not to hire this new candidate since you already have someone with a better fit (and that people dont get an offer because they are overqualified happens all the time). In the current situation it gets more complicated.
Ássuming that the new candidate cant convince you to hire him the best outcome is that you both agree that he isnt a good hire for example due to being overqualified. If you both agree you will have an easy discussion with your boss and in this situation you might actually support this candidate when a position comes that he is a good fit for.

Also PG raises some good Points. Nate seems to expect that hiring Managers have all this time in the world to Focus on candidates, to chase and butter them up, and do the best to attract them. Maybe that was the behavior many years ago. For the most part, this is not the case today. Hiring Managers do have thier day Job to do and limited time or interest to thinking how to appease a Job seeker. DX
D.X. wrote:
And remember, more often - when you think there is jealousy, thats intagible and most likely unsustantiated. The more tangible reality is that Person doesn't want to work with you due to personality conflict, not fear of your Talent/Expertise - remember, the Boss is the Boss, rare you'll ever outshine a Boss if anything - and if you to think you're so much better that the Boss, then your Job is make the Boss shine via your Talent, make them out shine others - you'll be rewarded more on that front that the other way. Consider you should view your Boss as your Partner not as Person antagonistic to your career - any other view well...i suggest starting your own Business - you're just Setting yourself for bad outcomes at the very start.

As I thought about Valentine's Day, I knew I wanted to use the color pink in my decorating this year. My sister, Lisa, gave me the sweetest cream and sugar and four cups and saucers as part of my Christmas gift this year. She found them at one of our favorite haunts. ;0) They are beautiful, and have lots of pink, so I knew they would be perfect.
I also knew I wanted roses in my silver coffee pot. These sweet little buds have begun to dry, and I am ready to hang them upside down to complete the process. They will be beautiful for a long time.
I won a fabulous giveaway from Christine @ Stonehouse Living a few weeks ago. This silver dish was one of the many things she sent me. I love it! Click on her blog name above to see all the other wonderful things she sent to me!
I even decorated my sugar bowl. To be completely honest, I believe it was my father, that I first saw do this. It was many years ago. He added a teaspoon, or so, of colored sugar to the sugar bowl. Mix it all up, and your sugar bowl is decorated for the occasion.
The Valentine's banner took about 10 minutes to make. I used my trusty glue gun, and glued the paper doilies and buttons onto a piece of ribbon!
Jess @ A Cozy Cottage in the City made the most beautiful cupcakes in January, and I vowed I would try and replicate them for Valentines. I also think they would be perfect for Mother's Day, Easter, Birthdays, Showers...well, you get the picture. I love cupcakes! All you 'vintage lovers' will love Jess's blog.

Zucchini Salsa
If there is one single vegetable in this world that will make my husband cringe with disgust, it's zucchini. He has despised zucchini as long as I've known him and quite frankly, his extreme disdain for it perplexes me to this day. He says it's the taste. Sometimes he says it's the texture… And, I completely disagree with him. Fortunately, it's one of the few things that we don't see eye to eye on… I look at it this way, there's nothing wrong with a little healthy disagreement. If Bruce and I were in unison on everything, I think our life together would be so boring :).
Zucchini squash is one of my favorite summer vegetables and I grow it every year in my little garden. I like zucchini because it is so amazingly versatile. It cooks quickly and marries well with a variety of flavors. Not to mention, it grows like a weed and if you are not careful, you can end up with more zucchini than your family can eat. That's why I check on my plants everyday and pick my zucchini when they are young and tender. Any overabundance, I simply bag it up and take to work to share with my coworkers.
My zucchini salsa is a great use for those extra zucchinis that you don't want to give away. It's fresh, bright with flavor and super easy to make. Zucchini salsa taste great with crunchy tortilla chips or wrapped up in a fish taco. Be brave and add some fresh jalapeno peppers for a fiery flavor. Enjoy! Tessa
- 2 cups zucchini (diced)
- 1 cup onion (diced)
- 1 cup red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- few dashes hot sauce to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
- jalapenos (diced) **optional**
Begin by adding olive oil to a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and red bell pepper and cook until onion is opaque or about one minute. Add zucchini, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the zucchini is cooked. Do not over cook. Add to a bowl, stir in lime juice, cilantro and hot sauce. Place covered in refrigerator for at least 4 hours. You want to let this sit and chill so the flavors marry well.
Before serving, add salsa to food processor and lightly pulse until coarsely chopped. Add a splash of water if the mixture is too thick. Taste and correct your seasonings. Place in serving bowl and serve with crispy tortilla chips. Makes about 2 cups.

One good turn might deserve another, but Jennifer Mooday was not the beneficiary of that good turn Saturday. Quite the opposite.
Mooday, a senior on the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls cross country team, was pointed in the wrong direction on one of the many loops during the first race of Saturday's Los Lunas Invitational. Mooday, who had a sizeable lead at the time, lost out on that lead.
The bum steer may have cost Mooday an individual win at the race, hosted by the Class 4A Los Lunas Tigers, but the Hilltoppers as a team were hardly worse off for it.
Both the Hilltopper boys and girls picked up big victories at the meet. The Hilltopper girls finished with 20 points, far outdistancing runner up Santa Fe Indian School. The Hilltopper boys, meanwhile, just missed a perfect scoring, picking up 16 team points, paced by Sean Reardon's individual victory and Nick Hill's second place finish, less than a second behind.
Los Alamos' boys started off the race a little too conservatively, said coaches Rob and Kathy Hipwood, but recovered well in the latter stages of the race.
Reardon and Hill were shoulder-to-shoulder through the bulk of the race, while Colin Hemez and Zak Kennison both finished within six seconds of the front-runners.
Saturday's race was the first in two weeks since the teams' big finish at the Desert Twilight Classic, held in Tempe, Ariz. Los Alamos' boys took top honors in the sweepstakes race at the Desert Twilight Classic, one of the biggest competitions in the southwest.
For Los Alamos' girls, Mooday wound up in second place overall despite being pointed in the wrong direction. She was followed by five of her teammates who made it into the top 10 individually.
The Hipwoods said they were impressed with the girls' overall effort — they pointed out that the top 10 runners, including the junior varsity race Saturday, finished within 33 seconds of each other.
Here are Los Alamos' results from the Los Lunas Invitational:
Team scores
1. Los Alamos, 20; 2. Santa Fe Indian School, 102; 3. Los Lunas, 115; 4. Estancia, 147; 5. Valencia, 149; 6. Grants, 149; 7. Gallup, 157; 8. Sandia Prep, 162; 9. Jemez Valley, 210; 10. Belen, 234; 11. Socorro, 284.
Individual results
2. Jennifer Mooday, 20:30; 3. Teresa Sandoval, 20:35; 4. Amanda Mercer, 20:38; 5. Jordan Parker, 20:42; 6. Mikayla Pulliam, 20:46; 9. Miranda Barraza, 20:58; 13. Janali Gustafson, 21:51.
Team scores
1. Los Alamos, 16; 2. Belen, 67; 3. Gallup, 109; 4. Sandia Prep, 155; 5. Grants, 158; 6. Santa Fe Indian School, 172; 7. West Las Vegas, 202; 8. Socorro, 208; 9. Valencia, 210; 10. Los Lunas, 225; 11. Estancia, 28; 12. Jemez Valley, 332; 13. Gateway Christian, 378.,
Individual results
1. Sean Reardon, 16:58; 2. Nick Hill, 16:58; 3. Colin Hemez, 17:02; 4. Zak Kennison, 17:04; 6. Orion Staples, 17:09; 8. Mike Walker, 17:19; 14. Gus Saeger, 17:47.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Monday evening's edition of "Piers Morgan Live" offered a decidedly Hollywood feel, as two-time Academy Award winner Sean Penn joined the program for a live interview from Los Angeles.
Well known for signature roles in such films as "Milk," "Mystic River," and "Dead Man Walking," Penn is equally passionate about a variety of human rights causes and often speaks openly and passionately about politics and world affairs.
As his conversation with Piers Morgan turned to Edward Snowden and leaked information on government agencies use of secret data-mining programs, the 53-year-old took exception with specific terminology:
"A legitimate whistle-blower is one who is the curator of the information that they're distributing," said Penn, referring to the tag often affixed to the former CIA employee and NSA contractor. "I don't feel that that's the case with Snowden ... I think that we will find forgiveness in our justice system and in our hearts when somebody has called foul on crimes ... by our government against our people, or against other governments or people."
In the truest sense of the word, Penn felt that gathering and sharing information can be a noble endeavor, so long as it's in the interest of protection, safety and transparency:
"The whistle-blower term is being associated with a blitz of information, based on the kind of narcissism of the so-called whistle-blower," he began, before explaining the ways in which the act can be positive. "I encourage the whistle-blower who sees that the constitution of our country is being violated and who takes the risk to sacrifice themselves, but they've got to be very careful."
Watch the clip for more of Morgan's interview with Sean Penn, and to learn about the actor's work with Haitian runners competing in Sunday's New York City marathon, check out The Long Run for Haiti crowdrise campaign.
For the next edition of "Piers Morgan Live," watch CNN every night at 9.
» Follow "Piers Morgan Live" on Twitter
» Follow "Piers Morgan Live" on Instagram
How long will the Media stay silent about Saudi Arabia's brutality?
NYC is the next 'major' marathon post-Boston? Clearly Mr. Morgan wasn't in Washington DC this weekend for the Marine Corps Marathon and it's 23,720 finishers, and the amount of those wearing "Boston-Strong" shirts.
You have to be a curator to be a whistle blower? Wow. Where do these people come from?
ya, how exactly are those two connected? does this mean Sean Penn isn't an actor because he's not the curator of the theaters his movies are shown? I can't even comprehend what his point is.
Excellent point.
@William and KB
I don't get the "curator" point, either, and I'm surprised because I find most of Mr. Penn's politics admirable.
I think he chose his words poorly, but I believe I GET what his point was. What he is saying is Snowden was never a true 'insider'. He was not a 'policy maker', or 'decision maker' of any sort. Matter of fact, he was low rank and file, and going public has set him for life, assuming he avoids charges and extradition. He is the equivalent of a new sports reporter, who really doesn't know football strategy yet. He can 'report the game' fine, but has no insight. That said? I don't really know why that would be very relevant either.
I have watched you from the beginning of your actual socio-political campaign. To have an "intellectual" discussion with an American that essentially calls a quarter of the country uneducated because they didn't graduate from Santa Monica college and don't have the money to help the Haitians recover from their tragedies, is well who you have always proven to be. While I do not agree with what the tea party has done in the past two months I am not afraid to say the other side of the isle is just as at fault. Understandably, you pretend to understand this country and the principles on which it was created only because you have been blessed to know the spoils. You've never suffered here. You've never wanted here. You've never experienced what it is to be an American and fight for that dream to which it is so often referred. I for not one second deny nor wish any one person to not live and absolutely thrive in our country, for my father is from Manchsster, England. However, what does bother me is that when I see a prominent and high profile figure not only continue to promote his or her one-sided and more than biased opinion but promote his anger on national television when confronted by invited opposition; and I couldn't be more disappointed. You have valid political points and your arguments could very well influence the likes of your "uneducated" audience; however, your tactics have become violent and unacceptable, to which I truly hope ratings are not the driver. Please consider moving to an unbiased, two-sided, and educational program that allows the American people a chance to judge the facts for themselves, rather than cast a god-given right to vote because a celebrity television host told them so.
God Bless you sir and wish you the best.
Our Country is Nothing without an Education! Great point!
Actors with agendas makes my head hurt. Sean Penn is an undereducated overpaid puppet. Please exit stage right!
I respect Sean Penn and feel he is a thoughtful, good American. I do think he's covering his A** here so to speak, and acquiesing to the powers that be and towing the party line about Snowden and Manning. Ellsberg himself defended both and insisted they were "whistle-blowers". http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/08/03/208602113/pentagon-papers-leaker-daniel-ellsberg-praises-snowden-manning
In this article he hits the nail on the head...yet, the national dialogue has been directed
and driven by the goverment agencies that need to be exposed....this talk of treacery,betrayl and traitor-ism. has obfuscated the issue... we need to be talking about what happens if these same people keep leading us toward a closed society. The real traitors here are those eroding our democracy.The spin doctors are in control and even people like Penn are drinking the kool-aid or he's afraid to say what he really feels on national television.
Asking Sean Penn for an informed opinion on Ed Snowden is apparently as useful as asking Daffy Duck for his thoughts on recombinant DNA technology.
We are at the point where anyone with any degree of notoriety, be it acting, rap music, sports, or comedic mediocrity (aka Maher) has whatever podium available to espouse their personal positions, educated or no, about whatever the "hot topic" for discussion is at this place in time. While I applaud Mr. Penn's efforts in Haiti to improve the quality of life (IF in fact he is still focused on that mission), I don't believe that his capacity for judgment on every social issue is
pertinent, just because some numbskull shoves a mic in his face, validating his comments as those of import...
will quit piers as of today. i didnt know he hate american people so much. he need to leave and go back where he came from
Sean who? I think I recall him in a movie or two years ago. None of his movies have ever been very good. He should move on to greener pastures. His views are so left that he comes across as a fanatic. Sad that he has drugged or pickled his brain to near senility.
As per Sean Penn and his ilk, Aesop had a good fable about the "Monkey Who Would Be King".
Sean Penn seems frustrated.
He needs to have another drink and beat his wife some more....
How sad,,,Sean Penn selling out to the Feds

The Oldham County Schools Arts Center welcomes you to experience the power of the arts and cultivate the artist within by becoming a part of their brand new dance program.
Through dance, students travel down a path of self-discovery where creativity, self-discipline, social skills and life skills are nurtured along with a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
The OCS Arts Center's vision is to share the joy of dance with students of all ages and inspire and motivate the community to embrace the art of dance all in a nurturing, structured, and age appropriate environment.
After having success with summer dance camps including the Lavelle Smith Dance Camp, and the year round performing company, the Oldham County Performance Troupe, the OCS Arts Center is launching a new Dance Program. Based on the success of these programs, it is a natural progression to expand and offer a full-fledged dance program.
Under the direction of Mary Jane Stoess the program will offer a structured curriculum with class offerings in ballet, tap, jazz, social dance and more.
There are four divisions of the program, Preschool division with combination classes in ballet and tap, the Primary Division for school aged children, and the Youth Division for older children, and Social Dance which includes ballroom, Latin dance classes, and swing.
Classes are available for students 3 years old through adults. The year will culminate with a Spring Dance Concert at the North Oldham Theatre June 2, 2012.
The Oldham County Schools Arts Center kicks off the Dance Program with an Open House and Registration from 1 to 6 p.m. Aug. 6.
Families are invited to peruse the studios, meet the faculty, buy dancewear, and receive their class schedule placement for fall 2011/2012. For more information call 502.241.6018 or visit www.ocsartscenter.org.

00:00:01: We're off to a good start. The opening titles say William & Kate, and the & is INSIDE Princess Diana's engagement ring, which now rests on Kate's finger. The director's ability to include this historic piece of jewelry in the movie warns us that what we're about to see is absolutely and irrevocably true to real life events.
00:00:09: See?
00:00:39: This is Kate Middleton.
And this is Kate Middleton.
Separated at birth, right? The only difference is that the actress playing Kate has brown eyes, but the director was opposed to her wearing blue contacts for fear of people stalking her because of her uncanny resemblance to the real Kate. Besides, it would've made the movie look like a documentary.
00:01:12: Prince Charles walks with William. There's no use of blue screen here; the building on the back is REAL.
00:01:26: Prince Charles looks familiar...
He's the same dude who played Prince Malagant in that movie where Richard Gere plays Lancelor. This guy has a PhD on playing princes. His imdb page says he's in talks to play Princess Consuela Bananahammock.
00:02:30: A reporter informs us in voice over that William spent his gap year in CHILE, MOTHERFUCKERS. I'M PART OF THIS MASTERPIECE.
00:04:08: OMG, Kate sees William for the first time. See, Kate is coming back from a run and she just HAS to come in through St. Andrew's library. She runs with her hair down, because we all know how comfortable that is.
00:05:13: Kate goes to her dorm and she and her friends talk about how exciting it is to have William studying there. One of them has to play the party pooper, and we know it's Makeup Girl. Mean girls are always vain in these stories, while the heroine runs with her hair down. Again, because it's so practical.
00:05:39: Kate: "He's just a guy." Makeup Girl: "Right... who just happens to be handsome, sexy, rich, and the future king of England." The dialogue in this movie is rivaled only by Patrick Marber's writing for Closer.
00:07:43: Prince William has a goofy friend who loves to party. His hair is all out of place and he makes funny faces, tee-hee.
00:09:39: Kate and William formally meet. They're in the same study group. Prince William's favortie artists are Monet and Cezanne, because he likes the way they play with the light and stuff. This guy is sensitive.
00:10:36: Wait, Kate has a boyfriend?! What's happening? Where is this going???!!!
OMG, Kate was *also* in Chile! Kate and William have stuff to talk about thanks to me. Take that, Argentina...
00:18:38: Harry! On one hand, bummer 'cause he's not dressed as a nazi. On the other hand, yay Harry!
00:19:38: William is mad 'cause daddy won't let him transfer to another school. Boo-hoo.
00:20:49: William calls Kate from his private jet and tells her he's feeling a little frustrated. Like any Manic Pixie Dream Girl would do, Kate advices him to do what he really wants to do because he should follow his heart and stuff. The lack of foam in William's glass tells me he's drinking Fanta and not a fanshop (Fanta + Beer. Must. Try. Now.) What a loser.
00:22:34: Kate models for a charity fashion show. Believe it or not, this really happened.
Rumor has it that it was on this fashion show that Prince William realized that Kate was not a shemale or something, because it seems he'd never thought of her as a CILF, a.k.a., Commoner I'd Like to Fuck.
00:23:57: William wants to kiss Kate but she pushes him away because they're just friends and she has a boyfriend. Kate is the only woman in this movie who's not after William, which makes her the most interesting character of all.
00:24:59: Kate and her boyfriend break up because he's leaving and they don't wanna have a long distance relationship. This is Kate's official Sadface. Something tells me we'll see it again...
00:25:51: The guys are in a pub and William wants to play a song on the jukebox. Goofy Friend tells him to play Queen. That would be a pun, because William is a prince and his grandma is the queen and this movie wants to reminds us of this little nugget of information EVERY CHANCE THEY GET.
00:28:19: William invites his friends to one of his castles and they meet Prince Charles Bananahammock. They go hunting and William and Charles Consuela miss the duck, but Kate DOESN'T. She's a firecracker, this one.
00:29:40: William makes his 317th joke about abdicating the throne, but the joke is so genius and subtle that the more he says it, the better.
00:31:45: The prince and his friends, including Kate, move into a flat (that's an apartment in English) and they have a party. William looks at Kate/CILF and Kate looks at him, too, giving him Sexyface. Which is just like Sadface, but she bites her lip.
00:32:07: ROFLMAO, GOOFY FRIEND PASSED OUT. And he somehow managed to get a tan in Scotland.
00:32:24: William's Other Friend compares a lost bra he found after the party with Cinderella's slipper, and says he'll go from village to village until he finds its rightful owner. Hey, William is not the only Prince Charming in the room! (Fact: that's a direct quote from the movie.) The puns in this movie get better and better.
00:32:50: William tells Kate that he broke up with his girlfriend (I forgot that he had a girlfriend, I was too engrossed in the plot). They stare at each other intensely for the first time... while they're holding a garbage bag. Romantic.
The first thing I learned in film school was that rain makes everything more romantic or dramatic. This is really fucking romantic.
00:34:19: This is known as the Obligatory Morning-After Talk in film lingo. Kate can't believe how unsexy William's chest is. William is psyched 'cause he finally nailed the CILF.
00:35:11: Kate and William start a secret affair. They live in the same flat (remember: flat is English for apartment) so they sneak out of their rooms in the middle of the night to see each other. One night they both walk out of their rooms at the same time and bump into each other in the hallway and it's all like "aawww, we're both horny at the same time!"
00:36:57: Kate takes William home to meet her family. Her parents eat ice cream in the middle of the night because they're commoners.
00:41:50: It's William's 21st birthday bash and Mean Makeup Girl warns Kate that Wills will NEVER get serious about a commoner. Bitch.
00:44:00: Shit, it looks like Mean Makeup Girl was right because William asks his ex-girlfriend to blow the candles with him (just the candles). Kate leaves and says, "I'm just the girl he hangs out with, not the girl he brings home!" It appears that Kate doesn't realize that she is literally in William's home, but never mind. She says she'll never speak to him again.
00:46:29: Sadface strikes back.
00:49:37: This is Happyface.
And why is Kate happy?
Because William is fucking SINGING to her! In public! To apologize for totally ignoring her! So much evidence points to his actually happening that this serenade has its very own Wikipedia page. Look up Royal Karaoke to learn more about it.
00:51:11: The relationship has gone public. Now Mean Makeup Girl is all nice to Kate and even asks her to come to her house, because people still do that after high school. Kate disses her, obvs.
00:52:32: Kate: "We're supposed to be studying." William: "I am studying... I'm studying you." This is some Lord Byron shit. All it needs is a working fireplace.
Oh, wait...
00:55:03: Awww, Kate has Sadface again because she thinks things will change between her and William after graduation. William tells her not to worry. Kate is all like "Yeah, right..."
00:56:17: Prince William is so nice that he hugs visibly well-fed African children. His blond locks can stop hunger.
00:59:02: Kate and her mom have a very private talk about her future with the prince. All of this is happening with the paparazzi just a few feet away. It's like the tension in this movie never STOPS.
00:59:45: The press won't leave Kate alone and they compare her to Diana. They even take pictures of her crotch, Britney-style.
00:59:58: Now they're harassing Kate outside her house. That big-ass zoom lens is trying to get a close-up of her commoner pores.
01:01:11: Mummy Middleton offers to make some tea to relax everyone. That's what the Brits do.
01:01:28: Sadface, this time with a frown. This actress has some RANGE, yo.
01:02:26: Williams asks Prince Charles Consuela to assign Kate a few bodyguards, but Consuela says no because she's not a part of the royal family. There's only one thing left for William to do: teach Kate some protocol.
01:03:40: ...But because Kate is just like one of us, it's not easy for her and she has to lean on the couch for some support. It's like watching The Princess Diaries all over again.
01:04:08: Protocol lady teaches Kate how to get out of a car without showing her knickers (knickers is English for panties. They don't mention it in the movie, but knickers sounds better than undergarments). This is stuff that all of us girls should know.
01:04:46: Sadface AGAIN. Kate is very emotional. Probably because she has lots of feelings.
01:06:07: Goofy Friend tells William that they should go out with Jessica Simpson Look-Alike because he's not gonna be young forever and he should have as much fun as possible before he has to take on more royal duties. William listens to him.
01:07:35: Kate has Sadface 24-7 because William pays no attention to her and would rather go out with his friends and more popstar look-alikes. If I were Kate I'd get a rifle and shoot his ass.
01:08:15: Mr. Sheffield!!
01:08:50: A double decker red bus. Because this is London.
01:08:56: That redhead looks awfully familiar...
OMG, stalker!
01:10:10: Kate's girl friends ask her if she's marrying William, but she says that not yet because he's doing his military training and he's NOT ignoring her.
01:11:45: Kate and William argue in the car because he wants to join the RAF to be a pilot and he didn't consult it with her. She tells him that he's totally ignoring her and William says that he needs some space and Kate says, "You want space? OK, I'll give you space" and she gets out of the car and ohmygod the suspense is killing me.
01:13:19: They break up. Kate is not happy and she brings out Sadface In The Tub With Red Wine and Tabloids on the Tiles.
01:13:43: Kate is in bed reading even more tabloids that portray her as pathetic and suicidal because she was dumped and Mummy Middleton tells her to slut it up for a while so William can see what he's missing, or something like that.
01:14:59: Obligatory Kate The Party Animal Montage. There was no use of blue screen here either.
01:15:28: William hangs out with his friends at the palace but there's a sad piano on the background and now it is William who's sporting Sadface. He misses Kate. William reads the tabloids and realizes that Kate is having the time of her life and he wants to call her but he puts the phone away. Crap, you just can never tell how this things are gonna end.
01:18:01: William calls Kate! In the rain! Because we all know you get better reception that way! Kate says she can't really talk now and William has Sadface again. Gosh, the rain makes everything more tragic.
01:19:42: William talks to his daddy about Princess Di's accident and asks him why he didn't protect her from the press. Charles tells him that that's part of royal life and that he grew up in a different time and that he didn't marry Camilla because his mommy the Queen (not the band) didn't approve of her and Camilla couldn't wait for him forever so she married someone else and he married Diana, in case you didn't know. When Charles says "wait" something clicks in William's mind... Wait... Waitie Katie... KATE CAN WAIT NO MORE. He's not gonna make the same mistakes as his dad and now there's optimistic music playing and I just hope he does the right thing.
01:22:35: Kate is rowing with her friends, just like the guys from The Social Network, and William yells at her from the dock because he needs to talk to her. She asks him to wait because she's really busy. Girl is standing her ground. Good for you, Kate!
William is so desperate and romantic that he starts taking his clothes off so he can jump in the water and talk to her. A prince getting wet for a commoner!! It's usually the other way around, if you know what I mean...
...but in yet another extraordinarily unexpected twist that makes as much sense as 2+2=4, it is KATE who jumps in the water to go to him. Because that's what women on the rebound do.
William: "I love you, Kate Middleton." SWOON.
01:24:51: (8) I bless the rains down in Aaaaafricaaaa (8)
01:25:29: In yet ANOTHER unexpected twist, William proposes to Kate in Africa.
01:26:05: She says yes! But this scene is missing something...
I know..... ROBOTS!
Told ya' it was the best movie ever.

Fixed assets are tangible items, e.g. machinery, buildings or land, that a business owns and expects to use in its operations for a significant amount of time (typically, longer than a year). These items are essential business tools and as such are important to safeguard and maintain. However, many companies are still using spreadsheets to track this critical information.
Smart managers and business owners looking to automate the process of tracking fixed assets are beginning to look specifically at fixed asset systems—but there are dozens of such programs, which can make picking the right solution challenging. We've created this buyer's guide to make that process a little bit simpler.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Fixed Asset Software?
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Benefits and Potential Issues
Market Trends to Understand
The Vendor Landscape
This type of software automates the process of tracking assets through the various stages in the asset lifecycle, from acquisition through disposal. With the right asset manager software, a business can improve efficiency and financial strength by maintaining its existing assets while avoiding unnecessary equipment purchases and upgrades.
These systems allow for greater transparency into important asset characteristics, including:
Fixed asset software can also aid in minimizing taxes and insurance costs by accurately calculating tax and automatically checking for tax code and regulatory compliance. Using fixed asset depreciation software and schedules to precisely calculate taxes with a frequently upgraded program enables a company to maximize tax savings while automatically staying up-to-date with relevant changes to tax laws.

These programs can integrate with the general ledger, allowing information to easily be combined and compared with general accounting records. This promotes a seamless and consistent view of a company's financial situation and the status of its assets. Some software packages can even incorporate and track conversion of asset value in other currencies. This automated feature clearly expands the geographic communication options of a company's assets and potentially makes it easier to sell assets overseas.
Depending on your industry and needs, you may want to look for specific features or characteristics designed for accounting for fixed assets. For instance, a company using barcodes to catalog its assets should look for the corresponding method, whereas a company that prefers radio frequency identification (RFID) should find a solution with that feature included. A business using a certain type of tax system, such as ProSeries, might want to look for asset accounting software that can import data from that type of program.
When searching for a fixed asset management system, pay attention to the following criteria:
You'll also want to consider whether you want a standalone system to be installed on-premise, or if you'd prefer a Web-based system with lower up-front costs. You can use our Total Cost of Ownership calculator to analyze the short-term vs. long-term cost differences between on-premise and web-based systems.
Fixed asset management software provides the following concrete benefits:
Simplified processes. Fixed asset software automates workflow processes and reduces errors due to manual data entry. This increases visibility into various actions, such as transferring assets, adding or disposing of assets, tracking depreciation and managing inventory. Additionally, these systems should integrate directly with other accounting modules, allowing for seamless data transfer between applications.
Accurate depreciation. Tracking asset depreciation using spreadsheets is highly inefficient and puts businesses at a greater risk for human error. The best fixed asset software solutions will update automatically when laws change, they minimize human data entry and they are guaranteed to provide accurate calculations.
Improved data transparency. Tracking assets throughout their lifecycle provides businesses with an accurate audit trail and financial record. The fixed asset system acts as a secure database, storing all asset-related information in one searchable location.
Any time you purchase a new program, implementation is a critical consideration. Ensure you have an adequate training program and that you involve all potential users involved in the selection process, so they look forward to using the new system, rather than having it be forced on them by their superiors.
There are a few trends affecting the fixed asset software market:
Software as a service (SaaS). In most industries, accounting included, more programs are being developed as Web-based platforms with a monthly fee for service. This eliminates the need for an expensive IT infrastructure and shifts the costs to being a long-term operational expense, rather than a major up-front capital investment. A web-based fixed asset system enables businesses to access their fixed asset data in real-time, from any location.
Industry specialization. Because manufacturers have different needs than retailers or real estate investors, most vendors are beginning to tailor their program to specific industries. This forms a highly specific and usable solution with all the features you need and none of the ones you don't.
Tax compliance. One of the main uses of fixed asset management software is tax compliance, ensuring not only that the company is in full compliance with all state, federal and local regulations but also that it's taking full advantage of all potential tax breaks. Fixed asset systems can streamline the process of preparing compliance reports and often include pre-configured report options.
There a number of different products providing management tools in their systems, but below are some of the major players, by industry type:
|These types of buyers...
|Should evaluate these systems...
|Epicor, Sage, Netsuite, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP
|Public sector
|Sage Accpac, Serenic
|Accufund, Sage, Serenic
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

Cruise ship Bimini Superfast flunks safety tests
Wednesday, July 03 2013 @ 04:40 PM UTC
Contributed by: Don Winner
Views: 3,255
During safety tests, the crew could not hit the 30-minute limit for getting passengers off the ship in the event of an emergency.
Emergency power sources failed and the lifts that lower lifeboats into the water failed to work properly, said Janet Espino Young, the Coast Guard's chief of inspections.
The high-speed cruise ship is already four days behind schedule, The Miami Herald reported Tuesday.
The ship was expected to set sail last Friday to the Resorts World Bimini casino, the newspaper said.
The crew was able to demonstrate Saturday it could evacuate passengers in the required time, but other issues are keeping the ship in its berth for now, the Coast Guard said.
The ship was built in 2001 and has been in used around the Greek isles.
It was then certified as safe by authorities in Panama, which the company presumed was good enough to satisfy U.S. safety regulators, the Herald said.
That turned out not to be the case. The ship has been in U.S. waters for two weeks. But U.S. regulations are much more stringent than Panama's, Espino-Young said.
"Even if it is a 2- to 3-hour trip to Bimini, we need to make sure passengers are not put in high-stress, threatening situations," she said.
The company Friday went ahead with a christening event that included 600 guests.
"We will provide information about the SuperFast's inaugural sailing as soon as it becomes available," President Dana Leibovitz of Resorts World Miami said in a statement.

Laura Robson ensured there would be a female British interest in the second round of the Wimbledon main draw, with a stunning 6-3 6-4 victory over tenth seed Maria Kirilenko.
The 19-year-old British number one came up with one of her greatest ever performances in front of a packed court one at the All England Club.
Robson was irresistible on serve, barely giving her Russian opponent a look-in as she dominated the first set from start to finish.
Kirilenko, 26, was then broken twice early on in the second set as she crumbled under the pressure of Robson's powerful stroke play.
The Olympic semi-finalist did give herself hope by recouping one of those breaks of serve, but Robson held her concentration to close the match out in one hour and 18 minutes.
Victory moves Robson, the world number 37, level with her best ever performance at Wimbledon - a second round appearance back in 2011.
But Kirilenko, a quarter-finalist at three of the Grand Slam tournaments and the winner of six WTA tournaments, represents by far Robson's biggest scalp at SW19.
It's not the first time Robson has shocked higher ranked opposition however. Last year she reached the last 16 of the US Open, defeating major winners Li Na and Kim Clijsters on route.
Robson will face unseeded Colombian Mariana Duque in round two. The 23-year-old is ranked at 117 and represents a beatable opponent as the Australian-born teenager looks to move forward in the competition.
The exit of Heather Watson this morning means that Robson, along with British number one Andy Murray, are the only Brit's left in this year's singles competitions.

The Sussex Central Golden Knights overcame an early 21-7 deficit to defeat the Dover Senators on Friday night, 41-29.
Dover opened the scoring on an 87-yard touchdown pass from Ian Gory to Nick Spadafino. The Golden Knights would respond when Sha'Quandas Murray scored from 20-yards out.
The Senators would tack on two more scores before the end of the 1st quarter. Donovan Cain would run one in from the goal line and Gory would find Jordon Robinson on a 65-yard pass to give Dover a 21-7 lead after one quarter of play.
After giving up 21 points to the Senators, the Sussex Central defense would shutout Dover for the rest of the half. The Golden Knights offense would lead a long drive late in the second quarter, capped off by a 1-yard touchdown run by Amontay Clanton cutting the Dover lead to 21-14 at the break.
In the 3rd quarter, the Golden Knights would take the lead after Jacob Miller scored on a 2-yard run, RB Keith Jones would run in for a two-point conversion to give Central the lead by 1.
After a Central defensive stop, the offense would take over with a chance to increase their lead, and they would do just that.
Murray would strike for his second score of the game, this time from 16-yards out, to put Central up 29-21.
Dover would tie the score after a Donovan Cain 1-yard run, capped off by a 2-point conversion caught by Robinson from Gory.
In the fourth quarter, the Golden Knights would score twice. Shawn Savage and Jones would tally rushing scores for Central. Attempts to score two failed after both scores.
However, it wouldn't matter as the Golden Knights defense would continue to stay strong, keeping the Senators off the scoreboard in the final stanza to preserve the Henlopen Conference victory.

"...[A] few guitarists took the flame [John Fahey] had lit and brought it to new places, discovering new territories for the guitar just as he had. One of those was Peter Finger. With about 85 pounds of technique in his namesakes, this man could play the shit out of the guitar. And such a restless spirit, continually challenging himself and looking for new sounds to draw out of the guitar" (Wrath of the Grapevine)
The excellent first LP from German-born guitarist Peter Finger, recorded for Kicking Mule Records when he was just 19. Teutonic or not, I'm inclined to file this one under the banner of "American Primitive", as his bottleneck sound is lyrical & authentic. Then again, authentic is a mighty loaded word, so let's just settle on honest. Finger plays it honest, with a cadence and expressive flair unbothered by plain virtuosity. Not too Windham Hill either. Big thanks to David H for putting this one on my plate. 320 vinyl rip by yours truly.

Drúadan language
The Drúadan language referred to the tongue of the Drúedain.[1]
[edit] Characteristics
The voices of the Drúedain are said to have been "deep and guttural",[2] possibly also describing the sound of their language as Ghân-buri-Ghân's accent when using Westron is described with the very same words.[3][4]
Helge Fauskanger has noted that the Drúadan tongue appears to be unrelated to the Common Speech.[4] According to a late manuscript by Tolkien, it had possibly been influenced by Elvish (at least for the word gorgûn).[5]
[edit] Wordlist
[edit] Names
In a manuscript by Tolkien written in the late 1950s, he uses the name Druadan (also referring to a member of the Drúedain in The Lord of the Rings; amended to Drúadan in the second edition) for the language of the Woses.[1]
This seems to be the only occurrence where Tolkien uses a name for this tongue: since the manuscript was published as late as 2007, fans and scholars have often used the unattested name Drúedainic to refer to the same tongue.[4][6][7]
[edit] Portrayal in adaptations
1982-97: Middle-earth Role Playing:
- The tongue of the Woses is called Pûkael, said to be "ideally suited to their voices and... alien to that of other Men".[8] Pûkael is nearly impossible for other people to pronounce, and the Woses are not willing to teach it.[9]
