Last year, on every day, I used to bike from two to three hours a day. If it were two, it was only to go to my work (one hour of bike from where I lived), if it were three, I went by college to check mail on a computer. On my day off, I used to bike about at least four hours. (And when I say to people that I biked with an average speed of 20 to 25 km/h (12 to 15 mph), they freak out and call me crazy... Looking on chart that was in a gym, they said that 20 was way difficult
: it so easy!!!)Well, this year, I think that I'll bike about one hour each day. I don't plan to make any in-gym workout for summer, but I'll plan one while I'm in University next year (since it will be quite cheap!). I don't know how much I should do to have a good effect on my health...
When I'll be settle for a long-term schedule (by the end of june), I'll also add day-off bike travels. I plan to go at least once to Laval, about three-four hours away from where I live (to see a friend that offered me a taste of Egyptian home cooking!) and maybe more, don't know. I'll also maybe do a Great Round (twelve hours of bicking) if I feel ok to do it.
During winter I didn't find any outdoor activity that I would like, and bicycle is not much a winter option in Quebec

I found fun and funny what ask ElfTheHunter, so I ask here as well.
I was the first one to ever use the letter combination Yiuel (even if it was not likely to be so). Every google-found pages can be explained by me, for it was always me who used it, or someone refering to me or something I did.
Post-note : I voted myself, and I learned of Yiuel way before everyone here. This name comes from my real name, and I use it for a character that is me in my stories and works.

TLA Forums
I could ask the same about Yiuel, and I think everyone except Akya would say "On this forum" or "on TLA forum", an I may have "on this thread" as well. Even Akya, I'm not sure I talked to her about Yiuel before I got on. Or, I'll ask it

So what is the point of this fake gun? (what is the point a gun anyway? )
Indeed.
Except for hunting (and there again, I see no use, as it could more challenging to learn to use a bow again). In fact, except for self defense (and in a democratic land, there should be no use to self-defense... if there is a need, then call not your land democratic, I think), there is no needed use at all...
Here, in Canada, there are strict laws about guns, and I am quite happy about that.

Rekiger is all but empty, being a league of realm that never really suffered from war (only scarce orcs on the west side, easily kicked out of Rekiger byt hte league, indeed under the lost (but not in Rekiger) Blue Wizards). In the map below, you see the limits of Rekiger, that covers the whole valley between the Orocarni and Sun Mountains, and a part of the Eastern shore of the Sun Mountains on either side of the inner sea. The blue part of it is Tumzilen, the Realm of the Mermen, Earatani, Aeredain or Tawsawwendom.
The other parts are covered by 6 other realms, four for Quendi, two for Atani (and the last mostly live in the light green parts : Hence there Thenqol name Nibwen (people of the plains), as opposed to Binwen (people of the trees, Elves).
So, here is what you have free to put Eofinwe.
Most of the shores of Helcar, except the Labyrinth (which is hold for Kshazomuth by Gondorian Exilies.). This includes the opposed Dor Galen and Foren. The eastern part of Eonwendil can also be free, as it is not well described by you for Eonwe. Southern Harad is a also free.
You also have most of the Southeastern part of Endore free. There will be a forgotten Numenorean colony, but I'll place it or on the western part of the free coast (by Queendom) or on the easternmost free part (just south of Rekiger), or maybe on the lost Island, but you could take it as well for Eofenwe. As for mountains, the mountains between Kshazomuth and Rekiger are all but well defined.
There is a Dwarven city north. South of the Great Red Pass, North of Rekiger,in the Red Mountains (Orocarni), there is not a precise frontier. In fact, on the Red and Iron mountains, there are no precise frontier at all. Rekiger has no way to the middle of the Red mountains. The same problem is for the Grey Mountains (but Queendom has a part of it and controls it)
But it is also difficult to establish in those mountains something. The Red Mountains are Mighty, and only by few passes can they be crossed (the Northernmost one is hold by Naugrim, further is the Great Red Pass, for Rekiger there are two, hold by Men (danger! I know
), but note that on the southpart, noone holds them quite precisely. Sauron does not have a pass to East from where he is, but he may build one (as the Northernmost Pass was actually build by the Naugrims (Dwarves)) Those passes I have noted on the map. -

I'm from Canada, we're in an elction campain as well, so I don't think I will hear about them from media. But I did hear about them for European friends as well (but not from here).
If I never had to vote for that election, I would have give my support to E-D-E, Europo-Demokratio-Esperanto (Do I need to translate...?). The aimed to show to Europeans the meaning and duties of the EU parliament, and indeed work for them (hence Demokratio).It also wanted to introduce Esperanto as a common European Language (hence Esperanto, and the Esperanto name), and also wanted to devellop further EU (hence Europo). It had candidates in all France, and wanted to have, but didn't, in other European countries. Maybe later will they be able to do so.
Eku Europo! Iru Europo! Bonu kaj Vivu! (Be Europe! Go Europe! Be well and live!), my own words for Europe.

There are even airports named for people who wanted to destroy them.
Thet is what happened in Montreal. The Dorval International Airport was named for Pierre-Eliott Trudeau, the founder of the Mirabel International Airport, that was built in order to close ("destroy") the Dorval one later. In fact, Mirabel closed a few years ago
...It was a so stupid decision, I think. They should have named the Mirabel Airport for him. Oh well, let's wish that it will be renamed to René Lévesque in the future, but it will never happen.
René Lévesque was one of the three best known Quebec politicians.
The first is Maurice Duplessis that I would call "The Darktimer" : Quebec became a bizarre place where 1st class services (of that time : electricity, a great city, industries) arrosed while povrety was at his highest.
The second, Jean Lesage, I would call "The Nationalizer" : he "created" Quebec as it is now, the leftist french-speaking own-owning Quebec.
The third is René Lévesque, that I wouls call the "Independantist", because he was the first Quebec Prime Minister to ever say in public that he wanted Quebec's Independance and that his party was there to do so. He never got it, but made the last step that was needed. Now, in Quebec, there is always that wish from a great part of Quebec to be independant. I am one of them. And he also did the last great things for Quebec, even if they were not perfect.
But that last one will never be named for a Federal Government building (what the Airport is)
He never fought for Canada's existence. -
I don't follow also.

I don't have a lot of radicals about my thenqol... But I can show examples I have up to know about it :
Zilénthen Jínthen. = "About king(s), it is bad."
You have a pitch accent : when the radicals are semantic, they have a high pitch (noted in latin alphabet with a accent on the last semantic word), otherwise (when they are grammatical) they show a low pitch.
Vocabulary is the main part of the language. It has a precise grammar, but it does not really appear as a Indo-European grammar.
The phrase above have Zilénthen Jínthen. The "then" ending (that also have a semantic meaning : idea) shows a topic. Note that the translation isn't correct : both are shown as topic. In fact, math could provide a better translation : King = Bad. Indeed, you could drop one or both then if you want, in order to give a more temporal feeling (Zilén Jín = King is bad).
A radical will always show up as C+V(+C+V...)+C, hence Then is a radical, Zilen is one, but Tumzilen (High, "Top" King) is not. Tumzilen is a compound (you can see it by a double-following consonant m-z), where the main idea is the last compounded radical, the rest being in front. You can transform a compound into a new radical, to have a new united idea. The full rules about this are already gave in the Halls of Intellectuals, but lets see how Tumzilen would come out : Tuzilen.
You can also create a new radical by collapsing clusters :Rekiger = East. It comes from Rekkinker (The Going of the Sun Coming)
There are really precise rules to how to collapse, and you need to know the consonant grid :
a b c d e
1 P B T D T D T D K G
2 F V Th Dh S Z Sh Zh X Q
3 M N N N Nh
no letters
4 W L J R
When the cluster is 1-1, 1-2, 2-1 or 2-2, the strenght of the result will be of the second, while the tongue position will be of the first, and if there is one (or two) voiced, the result is voiced :
ps = f
xt = k
fv = v
pt = p
bf = v
When the cluster begin with a 3, and ends with a 2 or 1, the result is that the last is voiced.
nk = g
nht = d
mf = v
When the cluster ends with a 3, and begins with a 2 or 1, the result is a 3, but of the tongue position of the 2 or 1 :
kn = nh
fn = m
vnh = m
When the cluster has one 4 (either first or last), the 4 falls and nothing change :
jm = m
kj = k
rm = m
rs = s
wf = f
lt = t
If it's a double 3 or 4, the last one is the result
nhm = m
mn = n
nnh = nh
jw = w
lr = r
rj = j
Indeed, if the cluster is made with two identitcal consonant, the result will be the same consonant.
ss = s
kk = k
nhnh = nh
ww = w

I learned French, English, and Esperanto and I'm learning Japanese. None of these languages look like the one I'm myself making (Thenqol, Idea-Saying, Thenhol if spelt in English), so Aule (read Tolkien) could surely be as imaginative as I was with Thenqol.

I don't know for myself. I do know I'm not in a great shape, but it would feel bizarre to me and my parents if I do so. To me, because I never used to, and was also disgusted of sport from classmates, earlier in my life. To my parents, my sister grew anorexic, and I was never saw as a great sportman myself, but more as someone who can think a lot. But I'm sure it would do great on myself. At least, I can bicycle for a whole they with an average speed of 25km/h without being tired (a day = 12 hours of bicycle).

Note on the Roleplay Game : I did imply on my map's rendering that Dol Amroth did survive on the White mountains. And they are not part of the Empire Black Op's Kshazomuth is building. In fact, in my mind, they are part of the still free Western Lands of what's left of Eriador.

I would then ask to Canadians what they know about our northern neighbor...
"Hi, I'm Ugo, and I want to ask you questions about Greenland, or Kalaalit Nunaat. Do you know who lives there? What's with them? What languages do they speak north there?..."
Most Canadians won't be able to answer you : No body cares about a small north country, when you're in a bigger one. I indeed understand that Kalaalit Nunaat is not as well known internationally than Canada, but we must keep our perspective : There are around the world bigger countries than Canada, here, we try to learn about the world around us, if we get to meet the world, because we are small. But we'll always fall to bigger countries, or even regions that can have totally different people : who could tell that Iranians are the old Persians, and that they are related to us by language, and that they grew a link with the arabic world only when Islam entered? In my family, they cannot distinguish between a Chinese and a Japanese, an that gives me problems, for I learn Japanese, not Chinese (which is actually only a written language)...
I'm a lucky one who tries to distinguish the most between people, but there are so many cultures around the world it just freaks my head out! And you cannot fully categorzie, everyone being different.
And I know about Kalaalit Nunaat (Danish : Gronland), a Autonomous region of Danemark, whose official languages are Danish and Inuktitut (Greenlandic), the last one being the most known. Their two letter ISO code is GL.

Here are the cities of Rekiger. On a later map of my region, I will add those cities (12) and also the main roads (though there would be more of both). If everyone wants to make that, it would be great. Also specify which of those cities would be very important (in mine, there are only four out of those, SAWTEJ MAWDOM TIRANARONNA and Bone-Ax) so that I would put them on a small version of the main map.

As for Canada, our country isn't build "Under God", so in no way there should be any reference to it. Our country is build from the people that live in it, whoever they are and whatever they beleive. The only thing that brings us together is this country with its laws, which last we accept not because something impose it, but we accept it as for what they are : human-made laws that are right for a human-made country. My self-written pledge shows this.
Eken132 : Easy to say to not say it, but a half-cousin of mine who used the live in USA didn't say the pledge, and he was boolied and mocked for that. Hope it's not everywhere, but this shows bad (he lived in San Diego).

Cheezy
lol, singing
You're awesome, Yiuel. Well, I'm not a great singer, and my voice isn't perfect. Akya could tell more, she heard me once
But I did sang twice in front of people, and I prefer to sing Japanese, so vocalic 
And I'm very bad at singing in English : I put to much intonations and I pronouce to well for singing (the voice doesn't flow). -
"Soleil" in French (don't know why they added eil... those frenchspeakers, never the same.), "Taiyou" or "Hi" in japanese. "Sun'" in esperanto.
Cool picture. But I couldn't see it

Actually, the first reptile is most likely to have been a lizard. Look at amphibian salamanders. So dinosaurs come indeed for a lizard
But not the lizards that are today.A lizard is a reptile that crawls low on ground, I think.

I'm six foot tall. So, Elves, must be very high on their feet
But it's not like I look as an Elf... I'm more like a half-Orc regarding my physic

Let's see if people here know enough about Quebec by this question :
Who was the first Prime Minister of Quebec of the Tranquille Revolution that begins in 1960.
Clue : An airport in Quebec city is named after him, so is the great south highway between Montreal and Quebec City, which is also part of the Transcanada Road.
(I talked of him somwhere in one of my posts, also.)
