We usually speak of the heart rejoicing and praising God. "My heart and my flesh sing out to the living God" (Ps. 84:3). Yet we find the psalmist also speaks of his bones exclaiming God's praise:
|"All of my bones will say, 'God, Who is like You?'" (Ps. 35:10)
Can bones praise God?
'This particular story is one of those stories that deserves to be published in a book,' said the Rebbi of Bluzhov, Rabbi Israel Spiro.
In the Janowska camp there was a Jewish foreman from Lvov by the name of Schneeweiss, one of those people that one stays away from if he values his life.
Yom Kippur was nearing and fears in the camp mounted; everyone knew that the Germans especially liked to use Jewish holidays as days for inflicting terror and death. Nevertheless, a group of Hasidim asked the Rabbi of Bluzhov to approach Schneeweiss and request that on Yom Kippur his group not be assigned to any of the thirty-nine main categories of work, so that their transgression of the law by working on Yom Kippur would not be a major one.
The rabbi knew that the foreman had little respect for Jewish tradition. Before the war, Schneeweiss had publicly violated the Jewish holidays, and in Janowska, he was a merciless man. Despite his fears, the rabbi agreed to speak with him.
'You probably remember me. I am the Rabbi of Pruchnik, Rabbi Israel Spira.' Schneeweiss did not respond. 'Tonight is Kol Nidrei night,' the rabbi continued. 'There is a small group of Jews who do not want to transgress any of the major prohibitions of the day. It means everything to them. It is the essence of their existence. Can you do something about it? Can you help?'
The rabbi noticed a hidden shiver went through Schneeweiss. He took his hand and said, 'I beg you to do this for us so that we may still find some dignity in our humiliating existence.'
The stern face of Schneeweiss changed. For the first time, the rabbi saw in it a human spark. 'Tonight I cannot help you,' Schneeweiss replied. 'But tomorrow, on Yom Kippur, I will do whatever I can.'
The following day, the rabbi and a small group of young Hasidim were summoned to the foreman's cottage. He arranged for them to clean in a way that would not transgress any of the thirty-nine major categories of work.
The rabbi was standing on a ladder with rags in his hand, cleaning the huge windows while chanting prayers, and his companions were on the floor polishing the wood and praying with him. 'The floor was wet with our tears. You can imagine the prayers of that Yom Kippur...'
At about twelve o'clock noon, the door opened wide. Into the room stormed two angels of death, S. S. men in their black uniforms. They were followed by a food cart filled to capacity. The room was filled with the aroma of freshly cooked food, such as they had not seen since the German occupation: white bread, steaming hot vegetable soup, and huge portions of meat.
The tall S. S. soldier commanded, 'You must eat immediately or you will be shot on the spot!' No one moved. The rabbi and the Hasidim remained in their places. The German repeated the orders. The Jews remained glued to their places. The S.S. men called in Schneeweiss. 'Schneeweiss, if the dirty dogs refuse to eat, I will kill you along with them!'
Schneeweiss pulled himself to attention, looked the German directly in the eyes, and said in a quiet tone, 'We Jews do not eat today. Today is Yom Kippur, our most holy day, the Day of Atonement.'
'You don't understand, Jewish dog,' roared the tall soldier. 'I command you in the name of the Fuhrer and the Third Reich — fress!'
Schneeweiss, composed, his head high, repeated the same answer. 'We Jews obey the law of our tradition. Today is Yom Kippur, a day of fasting.'
The German took out his revolver from its holster and pointed it at Schneeweiss's temple. Schneeweiss remained calm. He stood still, at attention, his head high. A shot pierced the room. Schneeweiss fell.
The rabbi and the Hasidim remained frozen in their places, not believing what their eyes had just witnessed. Schneeweiss, the man who in the past had publicly transgressed against Jewish tradition, had sanctified God's Name publicly and died a martyr's death for the sake of Jewish honor.
'Only then, on that Yom Kippur day in Janowska,' said the rabbi, 'did I understand the meaning of the statement in the Talmud: "Even the transgressors in Israel are as full of good deeds as a pomegranate is filled with seeds" (Berachot 57a).'
There are inner powers of the soul that are ordinarily not felt. They are only awakened at special times, in times of need. These powers may be compared to our bones. Unlike the flesh, which is more sensitive, our bones do not seem to be so 'alive.'
Nonetheless, bones are a basic part of our bodies. They break when we are injured, and they mend when we are healed.
When we sanctify our soul, we reveal our hidden light. And all of our inner powers are revealed — even those spiritual resources that are usually hidden. This then is the intent of the verse. Deep down, even our bones, even our hidden powers, will express our wonder, 'God, who is like You?'
(Adapted from Olat Re'iyah vol. II, p. 97. Story condensed from 'Hasidic Tales of the Holocaust' by Jaffa Eliach, pp. 180-184.)

Unfortunately, it's traveling on the slow boat to customer satisfaction. Brands on Facebook and Twitter are all about engagement, right? Sometimes it seems as if the answer is only yes when engagement means brands talk and consumers listen. Particularly in the automotive industry, where only 26 percent of customer queries get answered. Socialbakers, the social analytics company, measured companies' responsiveness across nine different industries to arrive at what it calls "social devotion:" using social media effectively to improve customer satisfaction — and ROI. The results are not great. Less than 50 percent of customer questions asked on Facebook pages were actually answered across all industries during the July-September time frame. That includes alcohol companies at 30.8 percent, electronics brands just a bit higher at 34.2 percent, and, of course, the aforementioned automotive companies, which manage to answer just a hair more than a quarter of their customer inquiries. But at least the recent stats are better than earlier in 2012. From March-May, brands across all industries answered only 30 percent of social media customer questions. So Socialbakers found a 60 percent improvement. Here's the full infographic: photo credit: x-ray delta one via photopin cc VentureBeat's VB Insight team is studying marketing and personalization... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

The upcoming merger with RKT will boost performance, while the chemical segment spinoff will increase the new company's focus on packing.
Starboard opened 13D position (25% in Starboard portfolio, 5.6% of company)
Valuation $69, 57% upside from today
MWV recently went through a massive reorg out of a desire to appease stock holders and move the company in the right direction. With this comes the obvious savings on expenses when it comes to layoffs, as well as a cutting of sectors that were simply not producing. While I think this reorg is currently paying off for them, I still think the dust is settling. I think the stock will go up more over the next year, but not by very much
Spin-off in 1H 2012.
Check out insider buys 3/3/2010. great dividend
Ford Equity Research (Strong Buy). Recent pull back to to support strong support levels.
MWV has been advancing spectacularly in 2009. I believe it will continue to do so in 2010. Those who rated it "underperform" have been dead wrong and missed an outstanding opportunity!
Good earnings.
Overvalued compared to industry.
the market is up and down at this point. the paper ind is unstable
Due to its marketshare and profit margins it will outperform the S&P 500.
Skyrocketing fuel costs will diminish plastics sales, impact company's paper production costs, which is already under tremendous pressure from Asia.
Company has invested heavily in plastics companies in the US and Europe, companies that are unable to compete with Asian facilities.
Poor locations of plastics and paper plants in Northeast increasing transportation and energy costs.
Plastics costs will errode markets for these products.
Entertainment packaging is large percentage of customer base, which is rapidly becoming e-based.
Continues to invest heavily in packaging which may be regulated to minimize waste streams.
Company management oversells company securities to employees by making false performance claims, opening opportunity for large-scale fraud investigations.
This CAPS account is tracking the 200 highest yielding S&P stocks.
After having Mead and Westvaco combine, two industrial and consumer paper product powerhouses combine, LOOK OUT!!! Success ahead!!!
restructuring, just a matter of time
Streamlining the workplace has worked; new talent is reinforcing innovation; seasoned salaried from Legacy Westvaco valuable in many key positions. High ethical standard throughout the company.

Naomi Campbell claims fallopian tube operation saved her life
Filed under: Just For Moms, Your Pregnancy, Health & Safety: Babies, Medical Conditions, Bump Watch, Life & Style, Rumors, Mommy Musts, That's Entertainment
Recently we at ParentDish reported to you that Naomi Campbell was ready to be a mom now that she's had some secretive corrective surgery to help her conceive. well, now all the walls are down and Campbell is being extremely open and detailed with the surgery, which occurred in Brazil and was until now kept pretty secretive. Apparently the supermodel underwent surgery to remove several cysts when doctors also repaired her fallopian tubes, which were damaged, meaning she would be able to have children.
Campbell said that in the year before the surgery she'd been in a great deal of pain and actually collapsed in her friend's apartment before following her pal's advice to see a Brazilian doctor. One of the two tumors (cysts) was infected and was leaking, and, according to the supermodel, would have put her in danger had it gone untreated. She says the doctors doing the surgery noted one of her fallopian tubes was blocked and took care of that issue as well. Campbell claims the surgery saved her life.
Perhaps it did. Perhaps it did in more ways than one. We've been quick to snark at Naomi's desire to have a child, now that we know all about her tantrums and violent behavior. That said, many a person has become changed after having a child--we tend to have more patience and generally be happier. Perhaps being able to be a mom will give Campbell a new lease on life (and more control of her temper!).

I would recommend using 2 close up photos for this announcement. I used one photo that was taken up close and the other was a distance shot. Because the size of this announcement is smaller than I expected, it would have been best to choose 2 close up photos.Reviewed by Patsmom

Excellent Quality
I would highly recommend MagnetStreet. The process was easy and my order arrived in reasonable time. I love the fact that I could personalize everything from the wording, to color and font, because I'm somewhat of a perfectionist. Our birth announcement turned out so adorable, and people really loved them. It's nice to go to people's houses and see the magnet still on somebody's fridge rather than a paper card that gets stored somewhere after being displayed for only a month or so.Reviewed by NewMommy

I have accepted a new position within my company and just arrived in Dallas. I am looking for someone to experience DFW. Looking for someone that shares this attitude and can share that with me. I love my work, and love my time off playing. I have learned many valuble lessons over the last few years. Being upfront and honest I think is the most important. I have always been an honest person. The way my friends describe me is that if they want the truth I will tell it, and I will tell it in a way that is beneficial and helpful. I love laughing and going to comedy clubs and movies.The people I am around most know how to laugh and have fun. If a person can't laugh at the things around them and even themselves at times, than they are too serious for me. I'm an upbeat person. I know what I want and I know I will acheive my goals. The person I'm looking for should know what they want and where they are going in life. Im looking for someone who is honest and self assured. Personalities can not be fully determined over the internet. This is what we have and we can only do our best to show who we are.

The Gopher State was tops in turkey production, followed by North Carolina (30.0 million), Arkansas (30.0 million), Missouri (18.0 million), Indiana (16.0 million), and Virginia (15.5 million). These six states together would probably account for about two-thirds of U.S. turkeys produced in 2011.
750 million pounds
The forecast for U.S. cranberry production in 2011. Wisconsin is expected to lead all states in the production of cranberries, with 430 million pounds, followed by Massachusetts (210 million). New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington are also expected to have substantial production, ranging from 17 million to 54 million pounds.
2.4 billion pounds
The total weight of sweet potatoes — another popular Thanksgiving side dish — produced by major sweet potato producing states in 2010. North Carolina (972 million pounds) produced more sweet potatoes than any other state. It was followed by California (639 million pounds) and Louisiana (247 million pounds).
1.1 billion pounds
Total production of pumpkins produced in the major pumpkin-producing states in 2010. Illinois led the country by producing 427 million pounds of the vined orange gourd. Pumpkin patches in California, New York, and Ohio also provided lots of pumpkins: Each state produced at least 100 million pounds. The value of all pumpkins produced by major pumpkin-producing states was $117 million.
If you prefer cherry pie, you will be pleased to learn that the nation's forecasted tart cherry production for 2011 totals 266.1 million pounds, up 40 percent from 2010's total. Of this 2011 total, the overwhelming majority (210.0 million) will be produced in Michigan.
2.01 billion bushels
The total volume of wheat — the essential ingredient of bread, rolls, and pie crust — produced in the United States in 2011. North Dakota, Montana, and Kansas accounted for 33 percent of the nation's wheat production.
656,340 tons
The 2011 contracted production of snap (green) beans in major snap (green) bean-producing states. Of this total, Wisconsin led all states (258,320 tons). Many Americans consider green bean casserole a traditional Thanksgiving dish.
$7.8 million
The value of U.S. imports of live turkeys from January through July of 2011 — 99.7 percent from Canada. When it comes to sweet potatoes, the Dominican Republic was the source of 60.1 percent ($3.2 million) of total imports ($5.3 million). The United States ran a $3.6 million trade deficit in live turkeys during the period but had a surplus of $41.7 million in sweet potatoes.

There are also 11 townships around the country named Turkey, three in Kansas.
Number of places and townships in the United States that are named Cranberry or some spelling variation of the red, acidic berry (e.g., Cranbury, N.J.), a popular side dish at Thanksgiving. Cranberry township (Butler County), Pa., was the most populous of these places in 2010, with 28,098 residents. Cranberry township (Venango County), Pa., was next (6,685).
Number of places in the United States named Plymouth, as in Plymouth Rock, the landing site of the first Pilgrims. Plymouth, Minn., is the most populous, with 70,576 residents in 2010; Plymouth, Mass., had 56,468. There is just one township in the United States named "Pilgrim." Located in Dade County, Mo., its population was 132 in 2010. And then there is Mayflower, Ark., whose population was 2,234 in 2010.
116.7 million

Dr. Ernie Chiu was friendly, his staff was great, and he was an expert in his work. Highly recommended.
Excellent medical care and courteous staff.
Despite having a very busy practice, Dr Chiu has always made himself available to answer any of my questions. He is knowledge and caring - treating the whole person, not just the medical issue. I don't think anyone can ask for better qualtlies in a physican.
Dr. Chiu is professional, articulate and experienced. Yet, he made me feel as if I was a special patient and always had time to answer all my questions. He also has a "heart" and tries to understand how the treatment schedules work for YOU! I feel confident giving him the highest rating possible.
Iâve been a patient of Dr. Chiu for just over a year and currently recovering from my 2nd surgery (Hidradenitis Suppurativa) performed by Dr. Chiu. Iâve seen 20 plastic surgeons in the NYC/LI region and chose Dr. Chiu. From making that first initial appointment thru the whole surgical process I couldnât be happier that I chose Dr. Chiu! Dr. Chiu along with his incredible staff are the most compassionate medical professionals that I have ever encountered, they honestly make you feel like family! I have received calls from Dr. Chiu himself checking on my condition always reminding me to call if I ever have a problem. I highly recommend Dr. Ernest Chiu! Thank You!
I am a physician in New York myself. Dr. Chiu is tremendous: I sent my father to his office for a wound care problem others were not effective in addressing. Dr. Chiu understood the fundamentals of the issue better than other plastic surgeons we saw and was able to put my father's problem on the road to a solution immediately. In addition to the results, he is unusually personable and a pleasure to deal with. I feel fortunate to have chosen him to see my father and he is most highly recommended to others.
Very fortunate to have found Dr. Chiu to perform a lipoma removal from my forehead. Being a facial cosmetic procedure, I was worried about potential scarring or complications. Dr. Chiu was more than helpful to make me feel comfortable about my options and the procedure. Furthermore, I've never had a doctor personally follow-up with me multiple times to check on my recovery. Great overall experience, highly recommended. Thanks again!
I feel very privileged to have Dr. Chiu provide care for me. He is the Director of the NYU Kimmel Wound Center and is a wonderful professional clinician who cares. They are very fortunate to recruit this brilliant doctor to New York. My long-time personal Manhattan physicians are amazed with my recovery and healing. He saved my life and I will forever be grateful to this extraordinary person.
Very fortunate to have Dr. Chiu see me for my non-healing surgical wound. He's the new Director of the NYU Langone Wound Center in Manhattan. Very knowledgeable, great bedside manners, A staff. With a little magic from his team, the wound healed beautifully with minimal scarring. Easy to understand why he had such favorable reviews in New Orleans.
Just heard Dr. Chiu has departed for New York City. Very sad to hear this because he is will be greatly missed in our town. Patient, attentive, great bedside manners. My DIEP breast reconstruction turned out spectacular and I feel complete again. Thanks and good luck Dr. Chiu!
Dr. Chiu is clearly the best Mohs Reconstructive Surgeon! Despite being very busy, he was patient, humble, and explained how he was planning to restore my distorted nose back to its original shape and form. Couldn't be happier with his remarkable work! You'll receive the best care available!
Despite the inadequacy of Tulane, I was thoroughly impressed and convinced Dr. Chiu was the right plastic surgeon to do my breast surgery. He has outstanding bedside manners, answered all my questions, and technically superb. No problem too big or small. My friends who have seen him for facial surgery concur. Dr. Chiu has been flying under the radar in New Orleans, but things will change once the word gets out. See him if you can!
Thanks to Dr. Chiu this is the first time since I was young that I have been able to lay on my back to sleep. I went into surgery with a headache and have not had one since. All of my life i had a hump on my neck and no one would do anything about it. At the age of 30 the hump had gotten so big I would not wear my hair up because people would ask about it. Thank you Dr. Chiu for taking the lipoma out. It has given me my confidence back!!!!!
Dr. Chiu gave me hope again after I was diagnosed with breast cancer requiring radiation therapy. After I was noted to be disease free, I did my research to find the best plastic surgeon around Watercolor/Destin FL area. Eventually, a clinician recommended I travel to New Orleans to see him at Tulane. Dr. Chiu is an internationally known plastic surgeon focusing on facial reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, but he is also has tremendous experience in breast surgery w MSKCC training. Dr. Chiu used tissue from my abdomen, and created a natural appearing, textured breast. I feel complete again thanks to this masterful surgeon. Most importantly he is humble, patient, soft-spoken, compassionate, and always available to ease my concerns. He did my blepharoplasty recently. Unbelievable work! My friends have scheduled surgery, too. Thanks Dr. Chiu!
Our 12 y.o. daughter had otoplasty by Dr. Chiu at Children's Hospital. We were thrilled with the results and patient care! She is now a confident teenager whose outlook in life will be changed forever! Couldn't have found a more qualified and outstanding plastic surgeon.
Dr. Chiu is awesome! Comes highly recommended from M.D. friends in New York and Palo Alto. He clinically diagnosed my problem, answered all my questions/concerns, performed surgery effortlessly, made recovery go smoothly. Always available. No problem too big or small. Thank you so much for making me feel whole again. He's the best!
Thank you Dr. Chiu for doing outstanding job on my breast reconstruction after cancer diagnosis. I'm very lucky to have you as my reconstructive surgeon. You have incredible aesthetic eye, and made me feel compete again. My friends concur and are all coming soon! Katarina G.
Dr. Chiu did great job with my eye bags and lids! My husband and friends think I look awesome. He is hunble, detailed oriented and technically mangificent. We had lengthy discussions about what to expect and he answered all my questions and concerns. He is a caring clinician (he is always available chat 24/7). Dr Chiu trained w the best plastic surgeons in NYC (did my own research), and is easiily one of the best plastic surgeons around. Same procedure elsewhere would cost significantly more. Tulane is difficult to navigate but worth the extra effort!
Outstanding plastic surgeon with incredible qualifications. Fortunate to have in New Orleans.

The editorial "Grand folly in Swat" (Feb. 21) rightly says the Islamabad-backed agreement between the NWFP government and the Tehreek-i-Nifas-i-Sharia Mohammadi (TNSM) will only embolden the militants in Swat and other parts of Pakistan. Islamabad might not have made a direct pact with the Taliban but has virtually surrendered to the dangerous fundamentalist outfit, which has wrought chaos and destruction in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Gururajan Ramachandran,
Subramanyam Sridharan,
S. Raghunatha Prabhu,
It now appears that the fundamentalists were only biding their time. They have now gained an upper hand and the government is left with no choice other than dancing to their tune.
P. U. Krishnan,
The agreement between the NWFP government and the TNSM will only lead to the creation of a Frankenstein monster in the form of Taliban. New Delhi should back the brave media and human rights organisations in Pakistan by continuing its diplomatic engagement with the civilian establishment.
Kasim Sait,
Asad Bin Saif,

Covenant languages
- "Their language doesn't translate in a literal manner, and each word has multiple meanings."
- —Cortana[1]
The member species of the Covenant have their own unique languages. However, the Sangheili language came to serve as the lingua franca throughout the entire Covenant Empire,[2] and as such, many names of member species are derived from the Sangheili.[3] Even after the fragmentation of the Covenant, many members of the former client species continue to use the Sangheili language in lieu of their native tongues.[2] Not all races can speak the same language due to evolutionary design restrictions; for example, the Yanme'e could only communicate through a cacophony of high-pitched clicks and screeches.[4][5] To facilitate easier communications between member species, translation software is used on Covenant ships to decipher words. A specific trade pidgin also existed within the Covenant fringe.[6]
Written language[edit]
Text, or writing, in the Covenant appears to be mostly triangle shapes and composed almost completely of equilateral triangles, except for a single dash-like shape that seems to serve the function of a period. The triangular characters have been seen oriented both in the horizontal left-to-right direction and in a vertical right-to-left direction.[7][8] Whether all of the species that are or were in the Covenant use this form of text is currently unknown.
Before the release of Halo 2, the official website at Halo2.com was made to look like a Covenant computer complete with a Covenant language. This language was a simple cipher with the triangular characters. In addition to Halo2.com, a released wallpaper contained triangular characters that made use of this cipher. After the Halo2.com site, the cipher changed. Two wallpapers were released with an entirely new cipher still using the triangular characters. Neither this cipher or the previous one have been used subsequently, though the triangular characters are still commonly used.
- Main article: Unggoy
Their native language is composed of dog-like barks, squeaks, and grunts. Though largely unintelligible to most humans, translation software is able to decipher the meanings of these.[9] The word "Unggoy" itself is not a word from their vocabulary - rather, it is the Sangheili name for their species.[3] Unggoy are also fully capable of speaking a variety of human languages, a fact in which they take great pride.[10]
- Main article: Kig-Yar
Kig-Yar language seems to consist of a range of hisses, growls, screeches, snarls, and squawks, though it is intelligible to other members of the Covenant.[11][12][13][4] The Kig-Yar are capable of speaking the Sangheili language. In addition, Kig-Yar are also capable of speaking the human English language in a rasped manner.[14] However, most Kig-Yar are unable to form a proper "f" sound in speech.[15] After the Human-Covenant War, some Kig-Yar often spoke amongst each other in odd mixes of English, Sangheili, and the Kig-Yar dialect.[16]
Known words of the Kig-Yar language include:
- Irukan - The name of a type of grain.[17]
- Mev-ut - Jackal equivalent of a bounty.[18]
- Jha-sig - A kind of ailment.[19]
- Shaks - A type of game played by Kig-Yar.[20]
- Main article: Huragok
Huragok are the only known species in the Covenant to possess more than one language. One is a verbal language, consisting of musical whistles and chirps, used to convey orders between Huragok and their superiors, usually a shipmaster and their crew.[21] The second is a sign language, using the different shapes and positions of tentacles to convey different meanings. The Huragok sign language can be learned by other species, including San'Shyuum, Sangheili, and Unggoy, though the inferior finger dexterity of the latter makes forming the shapes a cumbersome task.[4]
- Main article: Yanme'e
Yanme'e use a system of chirps, clicks and buzzes to convey information between other members of the hive, rubbing their wings together to produce such sounds, similar to Earth crickets. Translator units are required for other species to understand them.[4] Combat units will usually elect an attache to serve as a translator, learning how the other races communicate and relaying the relevant information to the other Yanme'e.[22]
- Main article: Lekgolo
Lekgolo communication with other species is problematic at best. Between different Mgalekgolo forms they use resonance that only their own species can hear and understand.[4] For inter-species communications, Mgalekgolo are capable of speaking at least the Sangheili language.[3]
- Main article: Jiralhanae
The native Jiralhanae language is animalistic, incorporating a wide range of sounds from growls and barks, to full-out howls and roars,[4][13] though Jiralhanae also express emotions through scents and musks. Young Jiralhanae have difficulty controlling the release of these scents, but learn how to moderate them as they grow older.[4] A communal howl is often made by the Pack Chieftain as a sign of celebration, and failure to participate in the howl is a serious affront to the Chieftain's authority.[4] Jiralhanae are also capable of speaking the Sangheili language.[verification needed]
|This section has one or more disputed facts. Please visit this article's talk page for more info, and clean this page so it meets wiki standards.
- Main article: Sangheili
Though originating with the Sangheili, an advanced dialect of their language has come to be the Covenant lingua franca, used to connect the different races and species.[2] It is seemingly based upon the Forerunner language,[3] likely pieced together from fragments recovered on Forerunner relics. Curiously, in several instances of Forerunner-related terminology, the Sangheili appear to use the English translations of the original Forerunner terms, as for "Forerunner", "Requiem", "Reclaimer", "Didact", and "Librarian".[23][note 1] During the San'Shyuum-Sangheili War, the San'Shyuum obtained a comprehensive understanding of the Sangheili language by brutally torturing and interrogating prisoners of war. The San'Shyuum relied on translation software built into their anti-gravity chairs to understand the language.[24] The Ussans developed in isolation from other Sangheili, and their language evolved into a different form of the Sangheili dialect. It possessed similarities to Old Sangheili,[25] but the language developed into a new language that could not be understood by the "average" Sangheili.[26]
Note: All words in the following list should not be pronounced as if they were English. The pronunciation of each letter does not depend on the letters that follow. Certain sounds are not written due to them only being available via the International Phonetic Alphabet. This results in letters: a, o, i, u, e, y, t, d, f, v, b, c, p, k, l, h and s not representing the actual sounds in the Sangheili language.
A few words, and their meanings, are known:
- Unggoy - Grunt
- Kig-Yar - Jackal
- Sangheili - Elite
- Yanme'e - Drone
- Jiralhanae - Brute
- Lekgolo - Hunter
- San'Shyuum - Prophet
- Huragok - Engineer (taken from the Forerunner name "Huragok")
- Domo'Inqanen - Human[27][note 2]
- Wort - Go (imperative)[28]
- Kaidon - Clan leader[29]
- Ossoona - Eye of the Prophet[30]
- Neru Pe 'Odosima - Servants of the Abiding Truth[31]
- A'ul - Lump of wood[32]
- Uchans - Shipmaster[27][note 2]
- Ochooka - Shipmaster [note 2]

- Main article: San'Shyuum
Based on religious sermons by the Prophet of Regret on Installation 05, the native Prophet language is similar to Medieval Gregorian-style chanting.[12] Whether this is spoken by all San'Shyuum, or if it is a special dialect for religious purposes is unknown. The San'Shyuum also used nonverbal communication, in the form of elaborate or simple hand gestures. Most other races, such as the Sangheili, were completely unaware of this.[38] Rippling the three fingers of one's right hand was the gesture of regret, meaning "All things flow away".[40] The San'Shyuum were also able to convey expressions through these gestures, such as irony,[41] obeisance,[42] amusement,[43] respect,[44] and empathy.[45] An extra flip of the thumb was used to show a gesture was being used mockingly.[43] Accents could also be conveyed through these gestures.[46] The Stoics on Janjur Qom seemed to have used the same hand gestures.[47]
- Main article: Yonhet
The Yonhetian language seemingly makes use of illeism in everyday speech, as Yonhet individuals casually refer to themselves in the third person instead of the first person. Apart from their native tongue, Yonhet traders and smugglers also speak pidgin languages.[48][6]
Production notes[edit]
- The languages in their original form are heard in Halo: Combat Evolved. In Halo 2, their words are translated for the convenience of the player. Elites in Halo: CE spoke a deep, warbling tongue. This was achieved by reversing the voice acting of David Scully. The ever popular "Wort, wort, wort!" shouted by many Elites during gameplay is actually "Go, go, go!" reversed and sped up.[28] The hissing-like language of the Jackals is actually the English language reversed. This, and the other Covenant languages (Drones, Hunters), have remained the same since Halo 2.
- Conversations from the Universe contains letters written by the Prophets of Truth and Supposition. The writing in these letters resembles English, with various alterations. This may be due to a connection between Covenant or Forerunner texts and English texts, or simply thanks to literary license on Bungie's behalf.
Covenant glyphs appear on cadet Thomas Lasky's comm unit prior to the invasion of Circinius IV.
List of appearances[edit]

Regarding the Bolivar council and zoning committee's recent approval of the sand and gravel pit in Bolivar, I am very disappointed in the council to say the least. I voted some of these people into office because I believed they had the community's best interest at heart. I guess not.
Why was this done in secret from the start? Who will keep track of the money? Will it be monitored by an outside auditor to make sure it is being spent in the right way and not going into somebody's pocket? There are still a lot of questions that these people need to answer.

Fall Tour Pt. 4: Pentagram, Radio Moscow, Bang, Kings Destroy and Iron Reagan, Chicago, IL, 10.23.14Posted in Reviews on October 24th, 2014 by H.P. Taskmaster
Stickers on the wall, a dim, red-hued bar next door, record store upstairs and rooftop deck that I didn't venture out to see, Reggie's wasn't short on vibe. It's one of those places I've seen listed on tour dates for years, but to be there and see the place, turn it from an abstraction on a list of mostly unfamiliar rooms to someplace with actual sights, sounds and beat-up couches on the balcony was an opportunity I genuinely appreciated. And the place lived up to expectations, as much as I had them, with a bare concrete floor, high ceiling, graffiti art all on the walls and a t-shirt shop out toward the front door. Very cool space, and good for them making it work.
Doors were at 7PM, and Richmond, Virginia's Iron Reagan were opening. Here's how it went from there:
Iron Reagan
They showed up not too long before the slated start of their set, which was 7:30 – a perfectly reasonable time to start a five-band bill on a weeknight; the venue had a 1:15 curfew in place – and set up their gear and thrashed in likewise manic fashion, tossing off period Slayer riffs amid an '80s-worship onslaught that was further conceptually than sonically from vocalist Tony Foresta and guitarist Phil "Landphil" Hall's other band, Municipal Waste. They played under a huge banner featuring the visage of the former president from whom they derive their name – because the '80s – and were more than solid in their delivery if something of the odd men out on the bill. Didn't stop a circle pit from forming as they quickly ran through a recent EP they put together for Decibel, five songs in about three minutes, which was a solid way to keep momentum going into the highlight "Miserable Failure," a Cannibal Corpse cover and the finale, "Eat Shit and Live," which had fists pumping up front. Not really my thing, but I couldn't argue with the presentation.
Kings Destroy
First night of the tour. I've seen Kings Destroy enough times by now to know when it's a rough night, but that wasn't the feeling I got at Reggie's. They opened with two older songs, "Old Yeller" and "The Mountie," which seemed a fitting way of easing into a short half-hour set, and then broke out "Smokey Robinson" and "Mr. O" from the new album, one right into the next. That worked well, and by the time they got to "Smokey Robinson," they were visibly into it. As much as I dig the speedier "Mr. O," and I'm glad to hear "The Mountie" whenever able, "Smokey Robinson" was the high point of the set, though I won't discount the sheer bizarro-doom thrust of rounding out with "Blood of Recompense" into "Turul," both songs slow, lurching and vicious from the second album, last year's A Time of Hunting, bringing the record's closing pair right into people's faces, loud and stomping and mean. As ever, people at the start didn't know what was happening and by the end were into it enough that they stopped trying to figure it out and just went with it.
Guitarist Frank Gilcken announced this as Bang's first tour in 40 years, which got a laugh out of drummer Jake Leger, who most certainly wasn't there when Gilcken and bassist/vocalist Frank Ferrara last hit the road. Disparity of years notwithstanding, Bang were a tight classic-styled power trio breaking out cuts from their '70s era, injecting something a little newer with "The Maze," and even finding room for a ballad in "Last Will and Testament." Vintage amps pushed out warm tones, Leger added a swinging sensibility that fit really well, and Ferrara's vocals had that smooth '70s vibe. It was funny to think of both Iron Reagan two bands before, whose idolatry was directed at a different decade entirely, and Radio Moscow still to come, who find the core of their influence in heavy '70s blues-inspired acts like Bang. Add to that Pentagram's '70s lineage, and Bang made a lot of sense for the bill, since whether their material was newer or older, they played through with a classic feel and sense of poise, the two Franks coming together on stage regularly to share laughs and grooves alike.
Radio Moscow
I've never seen Radio Moscow that they didn't show up to play, and I've never seen Radio Moscow not show up. I don't think the San Diego classic heavy rockers have come off the road since their Spring run with Kings Destroy and Pentagram, or at least not for any great stretch of time, having done Europe and South America since, in addition to releasing the album Magical Dirt (review here), from which the bounce-happy "Death of a Queen" was aired. There were some issues before they started with guitarist/vocalist Parker Griggs' gear, but they were solved quickly enough, and he, bassist Anthony Meier and drummer Paul Marrone sprinted through regular suspects like "Just Don't Know," "Broke Down," "Before it Burns," "250 Miles" and "Gypsy Fast Woman," the latter closing out after Marrone ran off stage quickly to replace a busted kick pedal. The boogie was as fervent as ever, and Radio Moscow delivered the kind of air-tight rager of a set that I've come to expect from them since the last tour, Marrone and Meier reminding that while it's Griggs who gets the most solos – at some point on this tour, I'm going to count who's got more, him or Frank Gilcken from Bang – it's just as much the rhythm section that makes the songs move.
Pentagram played a much bolder set than I expected. I guess after watching them do basically the same batch of songs last time around, my head was just positioned to think this would be more of that, but it wasn't. "Sign of the Wolf (Pentagram)" was early in the set, after "Death Row," "All Your Sins" and a cover of The Animals' "Don't Let Me be Misunderstood," which Pentagram guitarist Victor Griffin also did with In~Graved when I saw them last year at Days of the Doomed III in Wisconsin. Even more notably, a new song called "Lay Down and Die" was aired, and frontman Bobby Liebling announced from the stage that the plan was to hit the studio this winter to record a follow-up to 2011's Last Rites. Hopefully they'll record with the same lineup they have now – Liebling, Griffin, bassist Greg Turley and drummer Sean Saley – since they've developed some genuine chemistry on stage, which one could see and hear both in that song, which had some double-time hi-hat from Saley and a fast verse delivery, and in the encore as they jammed out an extended take on "When the Screams Come," which followed "Be Forewarned" in a raucous finale of sleazed-out doom well met by the Reggie's crowd, fired and liquored up in kind.
We poured out of the venue circa 1AM and I drove to some town in Wisconsin – after getting much advice on how to get the van out of its spot, most of it bunk. The next show is in Minneapolis, which is another town I've never been to and am greatly looking forward to seeing, the land starting show some more hills on the way where it's been pretty flat since Pennsylvania up to this point. No complaints either way.
More pics after the jump.

Rikers Island Lawsuits Over Diabetic Care

The hero of many, Edward Cardinal Egan, just went out on a limb and said that America should search its soul for possible misdeeds that may have contributed to the current situation from hell. He was greeted by a round of amens. Well, imagine if Bill Maher had uttered the same pronouncement. Heads would have promptly rolled like those of Taliban womenall in the name of democracy.
Speaking of heads, my best wishes go out to Sharon Stone, whose brain is actually her strongest attribute. Alas, the poor thing had to suffer this write-up in the Post: "Stone's hospital stint is not expected to dent her career, as she is not currently working on any projects." I guess that sequel to Diabolique never materialized.
Oh, the folks who opened the club Daddy three weeks ago aren't doing that project anymorenot because of the wartime crunch, but because "our silent partner became a lot less silent." (Still, they feel the club's run was "historically significant.") But some changes are a direct result of the war, like how people are driving so recklessly, no doubt figuring we'll all be killed by anthrax, not car accidents. Also, a lot of establishments are trying to gouge a little extra money to make up for losses, never quite handing over the correct change when I patriotically patronize them. I always fully understandbefore blowing a fit that could curl Hedda's pubic hair.
But what exact note do we strike these days, folks? The Emmys were dirged up, then canceled, but a commercial promoting Broadway is being criticized as too somber and depressing! Make up your minds, people. Pick a tone and stick to it!
But before you decide: In '99, despite complaintslike how the building was a potential target and also happened to be owned by a political supporterour mayor had an emergency bunker built at 7 World Trade Center. Legendarily enough, a 6000-gallon fuel tank was installed there to run the generators in case of a power outage. Well, when the planes hit the other two towers on September 11, flying debris fell on 7 WTC, which some insiders say ignited that very fuel. Still love Rudy?

Tottenham No2 Gus Poyet has revealed how Jermain Defoe answered his personal plea with the winner against Manchester City.
"It means a lot. We needed it, especially after last week's defeat here, and everyone is very pleased in the dressing room," Poyet told Sky Sports News.
"It was good for the players, it was good for the fans, it was good for everyone to win like that. He (Defoe) was unlucky a few times last week, he was trying and was desperate to score.
"It was the only thing I asked him when he went on. I said 'please J, score the winner'. He did it, and was really happy with his celebration."

The NFL week eight schedule features a game that may not stand out, but could be worth watching. The Cincinnati Bengals are surprising every one this year and are off to a quick start.
FREE PICKS: Visit Bookie Blitz often as picks are always updated
In fact after Baltimore lost to Jacksonville on Monday Night Football, the Bengals are in a tie for second place.
The Bengals travel west to take on the Seattle Seahawks in a game that could show if they are for real or not. Rookie quarterback Andy Dalton is off to a great start and playing like a veteran. Fellow rookie A.J. Green is a deep threat, but this week the Bengals will be without a weapon as running back Cedric Benson will be sitting out due to a one-game suspension.
The latest NFL odds for week 8 show that the Bengals opened up at -2 in this game. Early public money came in on the Bengals and the line was bet up to 3 in most offshore sportsbooks. This is very interesting, considering the success the Seahawks have had at home.
For Seattle, it is obvious that they need Tavaris Jackson back as quarterback. In the last game against Cleveland, the Seahawks had a tough time scoring, but with Jackson back in the lineup they will be much more effective. With Jackson in the lineup, this is a completely different offense.
The Bengals are 7-17-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 25 games in October, 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as a road favorite, and 7-21 ATS in their last 28 games as a favorite. The Seahawks are 9-4-2 ATS in their last 15 home games against a team with a winning road record, 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game, and 4-0 ATS in their last four games as a home underdog.
The Seattle Seahawks have one of the best home field advantages in the NFL, and play very tough on the defensive side of the ball. The Bengals have a very good team, but Dalton and company will be overwhelmed on the road and get upset against the Seahawks.
NFL Picks Week 8: Seattle Seahawks +3

Tim Thomas not voted to All-Star Game by fans

On Tuesday, the NHL announced the six players chosen in the fan vote for the upcoming All-Star Game.

Thomas leads the league with a .945 save percentage and a 1.80 goals-against average. He is tied for the NHL lead with five shutouts.
Fleury, meanwhile is fifth in the league with a 2.31 GAA and 12th in the league with a .918 save percentage. He has 17 wins to Thomas' 18. Detroit's Jimmy Howard leads the NHL with 20 wins.
