Dymund is in quite a predicament. She is bound, dangling by her tippy toes at Damiana's disposal for tickling and if she doesn't behave herself, she'll get spanked. Hard.

Periphery Watch
A Brief Technical Update
This is a brief addendum to our recent update on the gold sector. Since then, a few interesting things have happened. Initially, gold stocks bounced from the 61.8% retracement level of the preceding rally in spite of the fact that gold and silver weakened further. The action reversed however on Thursday, with gold and silver bouncing, while precious metals shares lost some ground again. The HUI failed at the 200 day moving average, and it remains to be seen if it once again turns into an impenetrable barrier (we believe it won't). The HUI-gold ratio has strengthened a bit recently. Note also the divergence between the HUI and the ratio that has developed at the most recent low.

Ukrainian Hryvnia Crashes
Bank runs, lack of reserves, danger of default – these were the sound bites lately emanating from the post-revolutionary Ukraine. Amid reports of intensifying bank runs during which some 7% of all bank deposits have reportedly been withdrawn, Russia let it be known that it believes the Ukraine is on the brink of default. This has some weight, as Russia was poised to extend an emergency loan amounting to $15 billion to the Ukraine. Shortly after the government of former president Yanukovich and the opposition had agreed on a truce and just prior to the confrontation on Maidan square turning bloody, Russia had announced it would release a $2 billion tranche of the loan. One assumes that the Russians are well informed about the Ukraine's financial condition. Moreover, the new interim government already let it be known that it needs at least $35 billion in aid.
For more details on these developments see this write-up on the situation by Mish. On Monday we pointed out that the hryvnia had oddly failed to appreciate in spite of a sudden urge by investors to load up on Ukrainian stocks and bonds. Later on Monday, the currency started to move lower quite quickly. Come Tuesday, and the currency has basically crashed (and the move may not be over yet).

Muslim Brotherhood Designated a Terrorist Organization
It has become quite a steep fall from grace. Within 18 months, Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has moved all the way from winning the presidency and ruling the country to once again becoming outlawed. During the Christmas holidays the military council currently administering Egypt saw fit to declare the Brotherhood a 'terrorist organization'. Anyone taking part in demonstrations on behalf of the Brotherhood or otherwise supporting it henceforth faces a minimum of five years imprisonment. Its leaders face imprisonment for life, and perhaps even the death penalty. This includes former president Mohammed Morsi.
The pretext used for the promulgation was an attack on a police station (the Daqahliya Security Directorate in Mansoura) that killed 16 policemen and left an estimated 140 people injured. However, a different organization actually claimed responsibility for the attack, namely the Sinai-based radical Islamist militant group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis. In August the Egyptian army let it be known that the group had been 'dealt with', so we are evidently looking at a case of miraculous resurrection here (it's either that, or the army wasn't entirely truthful). Reuters reports on the outlawing of the Brotherhood:
"The Egyptian government intensified its crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood on Wednesday, formally listing the group as a terrorist organization after accusing it of carrying out a suicide bomb attack on a police station that killed 16 people. The move marked a major escalation in the army-backed government's campaign to suppress the Islamist movement that propelled Mohamed Mursi to the presidency 18 months ago but has been driven underground since the army toppled him in July. It gives the authorities the power to charge any member of the Brotherhood with belonging to a terrorist group, as well as anyone who finances the group or promotes it "verbally, or in writing".
"This is a turning point in the confrontation. This is an important tool for the government to close any door in the face of the Brotherhood's return to political life," said Khalil al-Anani, a Washington-based expert on the movement. The Brotherhood condemned the attack on Tuesday in the Nile Delta city of Mansoura, north of Cairo. Earlier on Wednesday, a Sinai-based militant group, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, had claimed responsibility for the attack that wounded some 140 people.
In Washington, the State Department also condemned the attack but urged Egypt to have an "inclusive political process." "We condemn in the strongest terms the horrific, terrorist bombing yesterday. There can be no place for such violence. The Egyptian people deserve peace and calm," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said but added: "We also note that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt condemned the bombing shortly after it occurred yesterday. We are concerned about the current atmosphere and its potential effects on a democratic transition in Egypt," she added.
The Brotherhood, which estimates its membership at up to a million people, was Egypt's best organized political force until this summer's crackdown. A political and social movement founded in 1928, it won five elections after the downfall of President Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
"The government decision aims to liquidate its political opponents," Mohamed Touson, a member of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, told Al-Ahram online, a state-run news portal. Since Mursi's overthrow, the state has killed hundreds of his supporters in the streets and arrested thousands more. Mursi and other top Brotherhood leaders were last week charged with terrorism and plotting with foreign militants against Egypt. They could face the death penalty. A court ruling has also formally outlawed the group."
The Outlook for Brazil
"What's the outlook for Brazil?" we asked our colleague Rodolfo Amstalden of Empiricus Research in Sao Paulo. It was raining outside. We were in his new digs, overlooking the fashionable Itaim district.
"That depends on who you talk to," he began. "But to us it looks terrible. We're warning investors to watch out for a 'perfect storm' that could flatten share prices on the Bovespa
"You have to realize that shares have lost 17% this year. And they're down 30% from their high set in 2008. But that doesn't mean they're cheap. The average P/E is still about 17 – not too far away from the US average. And here's what could happen in 2014…
"First, we're very sensitive to US monetary policy. And it's likely that the US Fed could begin to taper in 2014. Even if it doesn't, the fear of tapering is likely to send Brazilian stocks lower.
"Second, if you've been following the story closely, you may have learned that the government is on a spending spree and Brazil's bonds could be downgraded.
"They're currently two grades above the investment level threshold. So a single downgrade wouldn't hurt us much. But it could do a lot of damage to the stock market. And two downgrades, taking them below investment grade, might be catastrophic.
"To make things worse, there's a national election next year. Unless Brazil loses in the World Cup Soccer Championship next year, Dilma (current president Dilma Roussef) will almost certainly win. She's buying votes all over the country by giving money away. She's not going to be good for business or the stock market.
Devaluing from Afar
Hugo Chavez hasn't been heard from for a while. To be precise, he hasn't been heard from since December 11, when he underwent surgery in Cuba. However, he apparently still directs economic policy from his sickbed.
His most recent action was to make Venezuela the latest entrant in the 'currency war' by devaluing the official exchange rate of the Bolivar by 32%. Venezuela's inflation rate is at about 22%, and the new Bolivar exchange rate of 6.3 to the US dollar still has a long way to go until it reaches the black market rate of 19.53.
The main reason for the – quite unpopular – official devaluation appears to be the country's growing budget deficit. Venezuela's government mostly lives off the country's oil revenues. Ever since Chavez replaced the former management of the state-owned oil company with his cronies and confiscated the oil assets owned by foreign companies, oil production has been in free-fall, but oil sales still provide the biggest chunk of government revenue even so. By devaluing the Bolivar by 32%, the dollar revenue from crude oil sales will increase commensurately in Bolivar terms. Presto, budget deficit problem solved.
Greek Election Speculations
The upcoming election in Greece over the weekend has become subject to intense speculation. First a 'secret poll' purported to reveal a lead for New Democracy in Sunday's election (no polling is allowed in Greece in the two weeks leading up to an election). However, political parties conduct their own polls and apparently it was thought politic to leak one:
"At this coming Sunday's elections, the centre-right Nea Dimocratia Party, led by Antonis Samaras and in favour of the Memorandum signed between Athens and its international creditors, should obtain 29% of votes, against 26% due to go to the far-left Syriza party, that intends to re-negotiate the agreements. These figures emerge from a poll carried out in secret by Nea Dimocratia and released in Athens last night."
'Emergency' Invites Draconian Measures
In what the Atlantic magazine called 'one of Europe's dumbest moves yet', the euro-group finance ministers apparently let it be known via leaks what kind of contingency 'emergency measures' they are considering to implement in the event of a Greek exit from the euro area.
We are actually glad this has come out into the open, as this demonstrates the enormous price citizens are likely to pay in the end if the ongoing bailout charade fails. As always, a perceived emergency is getting to the point where it is ever more likely that it will be used as an opportunity to severely limit individual liberties and in this particular case interfere massively with peoples' property rights to boot – all 'for their own good' of course.
"European finance officials have discussed limiting the size of withdrawals from ATM machines, imposing border checks and introducing euro zone capital controls as a worst-case scenario should Athens decide to leave the euro.
EU officials have told Reuters the ideas are part of a range of contingency plans. They emphasized that the discussions were merely about being prepared for any eventuality rather than planning for something they expect to happen – no one Reuters has spoken to expects Greece to leave the single currency area. [that almost guarantees it will, ed.]
But with increased political uncertainty in Greece following the inconclusive election on May 6 and ahead of a second election on June 17, there is now an increased need to have contingencies in place, the EU sources said.
The discussions have taken place in conference calls over the past six weeks, as concerns have grown that a radical-left coalition, SYRIZA, may win the second election, increasing the risk that
Greece could renege on its EU/IMF bailout and therefore move closer to abandoning the currency. No decisions have been taken on the calls, but members of the Eurogroup Working Group, which consists of euro zone deputy finance ministers and heads of treasury departments, have discussed the options in some detail, the sources said.
Belgium's finance minister, Steve Vanackere, said at the end of May that it was a function of each euro zone state to be prepared for problems. These discussions have been in that vein, with the specific aim of limiting a bank run or capital flight.
As well as limiting cash withdrawals and imposing capital controls, they have discussed the possibility of suspending the Schengen agreement, which allows for visa-free travel among 26 countries, including most of the European Union. "Contingency planning is underway for a scenario under which Greece leaves," one of the sources, who has been involved in the conference calls, said. "Limited cash withdrawals from ATMs and limited movement of capital have been considered and analyzed."
Another source confirmed the discussions, including that the suspension of Schengen was among the
options raised.
"These are not political discussions, these are discussions among finance experts who need to be prepared for any eventuality," the second source said. "It is sensible planning, that is all, planning for the worst-case scenario."
The first official said it was still being examined whether there was a legal basis for such extreme measures." [thanks for the laugh, ed.]
Zwangswirtschaft Becomes Full-Blown Socialism
First make the company unprofitable by price controls, then blackmail it by revoking its concessions, then steal it – that seems to have been the playbook of Argentina's government regarding YPF Repsol.
President Christina Fernandez-Kirchner noted in her press conference on the seizure that
Argentina will manage YPF "professionally," Fernandez said, adding that the country is one of the few that doesn't control its own oil.
Deputy Economy Minister Axel Kicillof will help De Vido to run the company, according to Fernandez.
Argentina is expropriating YPF for the "public good," a government official said in yesterday's speech.
No-One is Safe – A Fascistic 'Zwangswirtschaft' is Implemented
The government of Christina Kirchner is well-known for its interventionism, protectionism and disregard of property rights and freedom of expression. Anyone doing business in Argentina today or contemplating an investment in its stock market must realize that their property and assets could end up confiscated at anytime. Moreover, the high dividend yields of Argentine stocks are clearly no longer safe.
Even the many businesses that remain nominally the property of their owners are often subjected to some form of fascistic 'Zwangswirtschaft' in Argentina, with the bureaucratic interventions ranging from mild to extremely aggressive. This is to say, while business owners may still 'own' their businesses on paper, the government bureaus decide who may do what and when. Among the restrictions imposed by government are decrees that all export earnings must be repatriated, that numerous companies from oil producers to banks may not pay dividends but have to reinvest their profits in Argentina instead, and that farmers may only sell a certain percentage of their output abroad. On top of these decrees there are numerous additional restrictions on foreign trade, in the form of often ludicrous taxes on exports (for example, crude oil exports are subject to a 100% tax for every barrel that is sold above a price of $45/bbl.; agricultural exports are also subjected to high export taxes).
More Evidence of a Sharp Slowdown in China Emerges
As an update to our recent missive on China, there is now more evidence of a bursting property bubble as well as a more general economic slowdown.
BHP Billiton is reconsidering its planned iron ore related investment expansions as imports into China are declining due to falling steel production and a slowdown in car sales.
Meanwhile, house prices have lately been falling in 45 of 70 Chinese cities, with property sales in free-fall. As the FT Alphaville Blog reports on this, quoting from a Societe Generale report:
Financial Transaction Tax to Distract from Spain?
The Telegraph had an interesting article on the financial transaction tax, linking the attention it is now getting with a desire to detract from Spain's defiance regarding this year's deficit target. As always, Telegraph articles must be viewed with a bit of critical distance due to their tendency to contain a fair amount of hyperbole, but we thought the following snips were worth relating:
"So why – with Greece's €130bn bail-out signed but probably inadequate and a raft of sinner states teetering under their debt loads – have European leaders said today's summit in Brussels will focus on a bank tax?
Summit groupies will have seen this before: it can mean leaders have reached deadlock, need more time – and almost always that they need to butter up the northern European electorate.
In the face of any hurdle the FTT is the technocrats' box ticking dream: look busy; raise money; smack banks; tackle a complex, cross-border issue; and kick over-achieving London while you're at it.
So what are they hiding this time? In a word Spain. In a few words, the stirrings of a radical retaliation of "sinner states" against the German-led imposition of austerity and central rule.
At the beginning of March, leaders gathered in Brussels to sign their "non-negotiable" fiscal pact, binding all European countries (except Britain and the Czech Republic who opted out) to tough rules on budget discipline. Angela Merkel was tickled pink: the deal would last forever, she said.
But with sensational timing, Mariano Rajoy announced Spain would break the rules, immediately.
After days of silence, last night in Brussels finance ministers asked Spain to set a deficit target of 5.3pc. Not only is the figure a massive leap in Madrid's direction, but the language was completely different too.
In a statement, the ministers expressed hope rather than demand: "The Spanish government expressed its readiness to consider this in the further budgetary process," it said.
(emphasis added and we corrected a few typos)
Hungary Back At the Bailout Trough As Investors Go On Strike
Today Hungary's government came under renewed pressure, as yields on Hungary's government debt keep soaring and a treasury bill auction failed.
"Hungary raised less than planned at a Treasury bill sale as yields soared on concern the International Monetary Fund and European Union won't resume aid talks.
The government sold 35 billion forint ($140 million) of one-year bills, 10 billion forint less than targeted, data from the Debt Management Agency, known as AKK, on Bloomberg show. The average yield rose to 9.96 percent, the highest since April 2009, from 7.91 percent at the last sale of the same-maturity debt on Dec. 22.
The cost of insuring Hungary's debt through credit-default swaps reached an all-time high and the forint touched a record low versus the euro after aid negotiations stalled because of new laws that threaten to undermine the independence of the central bank. Hungary needs a deal as soon as possible and is ready to discuss the conditions, Tamas Fellegi, the minister assigned to lead the talks, told reporters today.
"Fellegi's comments are aimed at providing reassurance, but I think the market will adopt a seeing-is-believing approach," Timothy Ash, a London-based economist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, said in an e-mailed comment. "Market trust in this administration is now at rock bottom levels."
More Meetings Are In The Works
In what could by now be termed a European tradition, the summit inflation seen last year seems set to continue. In 2011 the people involved in the attempt to curb the euro area's still evolving debt crisis lurched from one emergency summit to the next, providing an unexpected boon to euro-land's catering industry.
The next meeting is scheduled between Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy, these two unlikely captains of the euro ship, on January 9. It will be about discussing 'rules' – namely the rules that will, so it is said, help to 'enforce budget discipline in the euro area'. Needless to say, this hardly addresses the not inconsiderable problem that a number of countries in the currency union have seen their competitiveness eroded during the boom, remain mired in depression and continue to depend on a public sector vendor financing scheme via the famed 'TARGET2' balances between euro-system central banks.
Japan's Scary Budget
While all over Europe, governments are forced to face up to the fact that the markets have suddenly become alert to the dangers posed by the huge debt loads carried by modern-day welfare states, Japan's government just piles on more and more debt on its existing debtberg with seeming impunity.
In Italy, Mario Monti's 'honeymoon' is already over. He just passed a fairly strict 'austerity' budget (recently denounced by the Northern League as a 'recessionary budget' – and rightly so, as it leaves the bulk of spending untouched and mostly imposes new taxes), but Italian bond yields are already back on the rise. Note here as an aside that the current level of the yield on Italy's 10 year note is not directly comparable to the time when a similar level was first reached, as the benchmark bond used by data providers has in the meantime been changed to a higher-yielding one – alas, it is the direction in which yields are heading that is relevant. Monti's real fight meanwhile is still ahead – he will have to challenge powerful vested interests as he attempts to implement structural reform.

The music DLC's Songs of Albion, Songs of Faith, and Songs of the Holy Land have arrived.

The strategy/RPG Crusader Kings II is available now via all major distribution platforms, and at selected retail outlets, with a publisher's suggested retail price of $39.99 (US). To purchase the game online you can hit the official website over at http://www.crusaderkings.com/buy or the digital distribution platform of your choice today!

There is an explanation for this, you know. —Ash, Alien, 1979
Indeed, there is an explanation for this spectacular sci-fi-themed theater, owned by self-proclaimed mad scientist, Dr. David Winn. "I love classic horror flicks and science fiction, and over the years I picked up some full size replicas at good prices," says Winn. "I figured I needed a movie room to display them."
So with a little web research and the help of his wife and Scott Messenger of Austin, TX installation firm Escom, he created this hellish home theater. Winn's theater certainly isn't one of the grandest we've seen; at 25 by 35 feet, it's more like a close encounter. That's befitting for this home-theater creature, which features some of Winn's favorite movie monsters spitting, busting through walls and the ceiling, and making visitors quiver once the lights go dim.
Portholes around the room allow you to look out over the galaxy, but it's up on the 144-inch screen that Winn achieves "suspension of disbelief" by depicting a spaceship in high Earth orbit. When it comes to other audio and video equipment, that movie magic is organized in an equipment stack at the back of the room. Two smaller screens compliment the main screen up front. "It becomes a great sports bar during football season," Winn says.
For many, however, it's not the screens or the awesome theater sounds that most remember—it's the animatronics. For instance, there's an Alien automated with hydraulics and an air compressor. "When steam starts blasting from ceiling vents and the Alien lurches through the wall, you hear friends scream expletives like 'holy (expletive)'—and then request to borrow a clean pair of underwear," says Winn. That's understandable considering that as well as other room highlights, which include full-sized caged homages to the Creature from the Black Lagoon and Predator, a Robbie the Robot, and creatures coming from both the couch and the ceiling. It looks like the ultimate, all-encompassing sci-fi wonderland, but Winn describes the theme of his room as more like a "spaceship transporting dangerous aliens." Buckle up for the fantastic voyage, because you may have to share an armrest with the undead and inhuman on this ride.
Winn doesn't seem creeped out by his subject matter or the effort involved in putting the place together. "Contrary to appearances, I'm actually a devout Christian who just happens to enjoy the macabre. I have a certain sense of pride since I put this together—all props and equipment included were less than $100,000," he says, adding that the build-out budget consumed 40 percent of the costs.
One thing his budget couldn't buy: recessed starlights. "We couldn't recess the starports because the ceiling truss interfered with the light enclosures," he says. "So we did the best we could do with them attached to the ceiling." His best is more than good enough for us. Who could nit-pick? The army of darkness has his back.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Beware! Criminal Lyrics - Incubus
Review The Song (4)
You crawl in bed. It's three AM.
You smell of wine and cigarettes.
A butterfly under the glass;
you are beautiful but you're not going anywhere.
We do the same thing every night--
I swear I've heard this song before.
A swimmer who has seen a shark,
I should really be more wary of the water.
You came, you saw, you conquered.
I'm left here guessing.
Oh, what went wrong?
Yeah I'm down but not out
And far from done.
Hey all, Beware! Criminal.
A prism with an intellect;
You throw your light selectively.
You stole my glow; a seasoned thief.
The blacks of my eyes are turning into opals
Today, I walk.
There's nothing left for me
but empty promises and the thought of
all the things I'm never getting back.
You came, you saw, you conquered
I'm left here bleeding.
Oh, what went wrong?
Yeah I'm down, but not out
And far from done.
Hey all, Beware! Ooh...
Beware! Criminal... criminal... criminal
Did you think, did you think I wouldn't notice?
Did you think, did you think,
did you really think I wouldn't care?
Did you think, did you think I wouldn't notice?
Did you think, did you think,
did you really think...
You came, you saw, you conquered
And I'm left here bleeding.
Oh, what went wrong?
Yeah I'm down, but not out

Usery | Reviewer: BKCap | 5/30/11
This is definitely a case of condensed betrayal. Thoughtful, soulful individuals are always the most susceptible to emotional manipulation and in this case I believe it apparent that the lyrics reflect a man deeply wounded by a woman who opened up doors like no other had, only to slam it back on him without any warning. It sounds like the type of relationship that is just beginning to bloom, but has been cut short due to the female's emotional cruelty. But that's just my read, whatever the case it's a very painful experience.
cheating girl | Reviewer: derek stefanick | 10/18/10
this song is about a guy and a girl who are in a relationship but have been together so long that they girl has started to cheat as in the first verse
he knows this but loves and at same time reaching breaking point
the line about swimmers and sharks and being more wary of the water deals with him realizing that he should have paid more attention to the kind of girl she is
also the word criminal refers to him saying he spent all this time with her and that it was all for basically nothing and she stole his life and freedom since im guessing they were young and now they are not so he missed out on most of his young single freedom life
the second verse deal with him finally being fed up with her and is done with her and is moving on
also the line im down but not out means that even though he spent this time with her he is gonna make the best of his new freedom
also do you think i wouldnt notice clearly deals with her cheating but him acting like he never knew anything
well.. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/18/08
what i would rather say 'bout this song is that the guy whos beeing used by the girl always knew it but at the point as she turns her back on him, he realizes the whole shit and well. i bet the first thing he thought was: damn ! at least i could've nailed the bitch one more time ^^
of course not so vulgar, but i think somehow it fits..well and of course he's quite pissed 'bout the fact the the bitch still has his heart...and thats what she exactly took from him.
what does this song mean. . . | Reviewer: will ricks | 12/12/07
This song sounds a lot like a guy getting used by a girl. He's calling her a criminal because she stole something from him. What in particular is unsure, but I'm assuming virginity, monogomy, or something around those parameters. Also thinking that the guy would never notice, but he always knew what was going on. Seems like he kept going back for the same thing.

Combine a RearingHorse, a BigDamnHeroes rescue, some CoolGuns or a sword, a pinch of DramaticWind, and you get Horseback Heroism. Guaranteed to make any nearby potential LoveInterest ''swoon'' as 'Lightning' rears onto its hind legs while [[DramaticThunder thunder cracks]] in the background.
This is an old trope, though this hero is by no means [[IncrediblyLamePun riding a]] [[DeadHorseTrope dead horse]] when he uses it to rescue friends or lovers. It's just [[RuleOfCool that awesome]].
Updated versions may substitute a CoolBike or CoolCar for the horse.
Not to be confused with TheCavalry, who only sometimes [[MountedCombat ride literal horses]].
[[folder: Anime and Manga]]
* Sakaki did this in a dream sequence in the ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' anime.
* In ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'', Akio swoops in on horseback in the nick of time to save Utena when she falls off of another horse. [[spoiler: Of course, given that he's systematically working on molding Utena to fit the classic "[[DistressedDamsel princess]]" role, it's strongly implied that he orchestrated the whole thing so she would further associate him with her childhood prince.]]
[[folder: Comics]]
* Batman does it in ''ComicBook/TheDarkKnightReturns''.
[[folder: Film]]
* Jesse does this for the heroine of one of Joan Wilder's romance novels in the fantasy sequence at the start of ''Film/RomancingTheStone''.
* Spoofed mercilessly in ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} II'' with Prince Charming.
** Also parodied, then played straight in the climax of ''Shrek 2'', with Shrek and his "noble steed."
* In ''Film/KateAndLeopold'', Leo rides down a purse snatcher through Central Park on the back of a horse that he borrowed from a carriage ride.
* Gandalf and his army do this in ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings The Two Towers]]''.
* Odin gets to pull this off in ''Film/{{Thor}}''. For extra cool, the horse in question has eight legs.
* As the prince of ''Film/PrinceCharming'' rides through the city he sees a woman being attacked. He jumps from his horse to go rescue her.
* The climax of ''Disney/SleepingBeauty'' is a battle with the mounted Prince Philip up against Maleficent to save Princess Aurora.
* ''Disney/{{Enchanted}}'' begins with Prince Edward riding up to save Giselle from a troll and they plan to get married the next day.
* In ''Film/EllaEnchanted'', one of the many times Prince Charmont saves Ella's life is from an ogre's boiling pot when he comes up on his horse.
* Many ''Franchise/{{Zorro}}'' films feed this trope. Zorro's signature pose is raising his sword on top of a rearing horse.
* Done in ''Film/TheLoneRanger'', especially in the scene where the Lone Ranger and Silver appear ''on top of a building'' to lasso a gatling gun.
* Woody riding out on Bullseye to get Jessie off the plane in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2''.
* Kristoff riding Sven in ''Disney/{{Frozen}}''. Sven is a huge reindeer but he is treated much like a horse in this way.
[[folder: Literature]]
* The Rohirrim, Gandalf on Shadowfax, and various other instances in ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''.
* A frequent occurrence for Literature/{{Zorro}}.
* Occurs a couple of times in ''[[{{Deryni}} The King's Justice]]'':
** Duncan fights for his life when his army is surrounded by Loris' troops and the main Mearan army, then casts a spell for a diversion while ordering Dhugal to leave and warn Kelson.
** Kelson and Morgan, [[TheCavalry riding with their forces]], cast spells to [[spoiler: save Duncan from arrows as he's being burned at the stake]].
* Sandor Clegane's rescue of Sansa in the second book of ''ASongOfIceAndFire'' certainly qualifies, even though technically he's afoot at the outset. Still counts, though: he appears in the nick of time, prevents her from getting pulled off her horse and raped, swings up onto her horse in front of her, and gallops her to safety through a rioting mob. Another instance is his rescue of Arya when [[spoiler:she suicidally tries to save her mother at the Red Wedding.]] This one's odd because he ''does'' show up a horse (as lightning illuminates the scene, even), and ''does'' ride up to her at a gallop while rain pours and thunder rolls...and then whacks her unconscious with the flat of an axe. (So that he can take her away from the unfolding slaughter.) Heroic!
* The deghans in the ''FarsalaTrilogy'' clearly ''think'' they're this, and in the beginning they are - it's mentioned that Farsala is one of the few countries to have an effective cavalry. However, they are easily defeated by [[TheEmpire Hrum]] foot soldiers.
* ''Literature/SixteenThirtyTwo'': Morris Roth, in the novella "The Wallenstein Gambit"[[note]]in the first ''Ring of Fire'' anthology[[/note]], assumes the role in the defense of Prague from Holk's mercenaries, but not just with the traditional rearing horse and sword waving. As the defenders first gathered he did all that, but when Holk's goons showed up the next day, Roth, riding a horse borrowed from Pappenheim, simply kept his uptime rifle close to hand, ready to use. His coolly awaiting the arrival of the mercenaries served the purpose of calming his poorly trained troops far better than the sword waving routine.
* In the second ''Literature/TimeScout'' book, Skeeter uses his hard-earned horseback skills to win a duel in the Roman arena, then pole vault out and save a friend from slavery.
[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* The Doctor in the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "The Girl in the Fireplace" (jumping the horse through a mirror for extra awesomeness).
* A staple on ''Series/QueenOfSwords''.
* Out of the night, when the full moon is bright, comes a horseman known as Series/{{Zorro}}...
* This is a staple of ''Series/TheLoneRanger'', which showed such a sequence in its opening credits each episode.
* The fifth episode of ''Series/BurnNotice'', "No Good Dead", features the CoolCar variant. Michael says, "When your back's against the wall and time is running out, there's nothing like seeing an old friend." Cue the CoolCar moment as the perfectly restored 1973 Dodge Charger (destroyed at the end of the last season) comes screeching into frame, driven by Fiona.
* Referenced in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', where Fitz-Simmons tell Skye that the reason May is called "The Cavalry" is because she took out a hundred hostiles while riding a horse.
-->'''Ward:''' [[ShroudedInMyth The story gets bigger every year]].
[[folder: Music]]
* In the music video for Music/ShaniaTwain's "That Don't Impress Me Much", one of the hunky gents she encounters while hitchhiking in the desert is something like an Arabian adventurer on the back of a charger. She waves him on, the ice princess.
[[folder: TabletopGames]]
* In ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'', most characters with ability-based charmsets like the Solars and Sidereals can do this to one extent or another. The Solars invoke the trope the hardest though, particularly [[RidingIntoTheSunset Hero Rides Away]].
* The boxart of ''Franchise/{{Bionicle}}'''s special-edition Toa Lhikan & Kikanalo set depicts the hero Lhikan riding the rearing beast, despite the fact that in the story, he never shares a scene with any Kikanalo.
[[folder: Video Games]]
* Link in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'', when you defeat King Bulbin for the first time.
* In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' the Tatsumaki Zankantou (aka "Tornado Blade") CombinationAttack has the [[GratuitousGerman Aussenseiter]] transform into a horse ridden by [[EverythingsBetterWithSamurai Dygenguar]], who pull off this pose (with a {{BFS}}) before charging at the opponent.
* This is [[SummonMagic Odin]]'s standard operating procedure in the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' games: appear ominously out of the darkness while lightning flashes around him, raise his sword/spear, have his steed Sleipnir rear up on his hind legs and whinny, then charge the enemy with [[SingleStrokeBattle deadly intent]].
* The ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' games give you a button specifically for making your horse rear up.
** Pushing the 'jump' button while your horse is stationary in RedDeadRedemption also does so, and it triggers automatically when you successfully break in a wild horse.
* Similarly, in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', pressing the jump button while on a horse and stationary causes it to rear up like this, with similar results for most other ground mounts.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Kessen}}'', your generals would ''always'' rear up their horses like this, along with uttering [[PreMortemOneLiner some sardonic/heroic line or another]], after accepting an order to march or attack.
* Bartz of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' comes riding in on his charger to save Lenna, and then Lenna and Galuf. This being ''Final Fantasy'', though, his charger is a chocobo. And the chocobo kind of had to talk Bartz into the second instance.
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* In the "Hair-Raising Harness Race" episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop'', Penelope and her horse rescue the Ant Hill Mob from falling down a deep chasm.
* In the WesternAnimation/CartoonNetworkGroovies short ''El Kabong Rides Again'', the title character rides in wielding ''a guitar'' to smite the villain.
* Spike the dragon hopes for this during an episode of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' (specifically, 'A Dog and Pony Show'). Twilight (the steed) is less than happy with the concept, but humours him. (And [[FridgeLogic if you think about it]], he's trying to do this to impress another ''pony''. What would they think of this?)

The EH-500F Mini-Dehumidifier from Eva-Dry is a great and easy way to rid yourself of moisture from any larger venue such as a big closet, boat or RV. Simply place it in the desired area and let it do its work. The unit is calibrated with silica crystals to go from blue (dry) to pink (wet). The EH-500F differs from the standard EH-500 unit in that the 500F comes with removable fragrance packets that add a touch of sweet smelling aroma to the environment. The unit comes with two ready-to-use packets.
After the unit has reached full saturation with moisture (6-8 weeks), merely plug it into your outlet at home (or on the road) and the system will reconstitute itself within 12-14 hours. The EH-500F will then return to its blue color and is ready to be used again.
The EH-500F is wired for 100-240VAC/50-60Hz and does not require any batteries. The convenient fold-away plug makes it compact for either storage or travel. Its capacity is approximately 8-10 oz of moisture.
This item is perfect for the photographer who wishes to keep his gear moisture-free when traveling to damp climates. You can also use it in a closet to eliminate dampness that can harm your clothes through the development of mold. For the underwater enthusiast, it is great to keep your gear dry when stored in its bag.
When using this item, there is no muss or fuss - it is easy to use, eco-friendly, will not spill and is safe to place in proximity of children and pets.
- Renew after about 30-60 days - plug it in and it recycles itself in about 12-14 hours
- No batteries or cords required; convenient fold-away plug on back
- Compact and silent
- Spill and mess free
- Eco-Friendly
- Changes color from blue to pink (full saturation); when renewed by plugging in, the color changes back to blue
- Use in larger rooms such as bigger closets, RVs and boats

The 2004 Tablas Creek Vineyard Grenache Blanc is Tablas Creek's first national release of its 100% Grenache Blanc. The Grenache Blanc grape, a little-known but widely-planted Southern Rhône varietal, produces wines with tremendous body, good acidity, and flavors of citrus, anise, and green apple.
We use most of our Grenache Blanc in our Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc and Côtes de Tablas Blanc each year. However, we have been so pleased by the flavors and intensity of the Grenache Blanc over the past few years that we decided to reserve a small quantity of Grenache Blanc for a single-varietal bottling.
Our Grenache Blanc grapes were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2004 vintage saw an early flowering but overall moderate temperatures that lengthened the growing cycle and produced grapes that were unusually aromatic and mineral-driven. Warm days and cool nights persisted through most of the summer, with daytime temperatures typically in the upper 80s and low 90s, and nighttime lows in the 50s. When it finally got and stayed hot in late August, many of our varietals (unusually) ripened near the same time. The Grenache Blanc was harvested on four days between September 22nd and 28th.
The Grenache Blanc grapes were whole cluster pressed, and fermented using native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. After primary fermentation, the wine was moved to neutral French oak barrels to complete malolactic fermentation. The final blends were assembled in May 2005, and bottled in July 2005. The wines underwent only a light cold stabilization before bottling.
The 2004 Grenache Blanc is a vibrant expression of the Grenache Blanc grape. Aromas of lemonand anise are followed by full body, flavors of green apple and marzipan, zesty acids and a long, elegant lemon drop finish.

Over recent weeks, I've received several questions from people wondering how to best preserve a partial bottle of wine for future consumption. Typically, they're wondering if they should invest in a system that replaces the air in the bottle with an inert gas, or in a vacuum system that removes the air from the bottle entirely...

Cops: Toddler found walking on roof at New Smyrna Beach home
Published On: Oct 10 2012 04:56:07 PM EDT
Updated On: Oct 10 2012 06:15:34 PM EDT
Updated On: Oct 10 2012 06:15:34 PM EDT
A Volusia County woman has been charged with child neglect after deputies say she allowed a 2-year-old girl to crawl on the roof of two-story home.
Deputies said Erica Hess, 24, wasn't supervising the toddler when she climbed out onto the deck, which connects to the roof, and walked along the roof.
A witness called 911 to report the incident. Hess was home at the time of the incident, deputies said.
No one was injured, deputies said.
The Department of Children and Families is investigating and the toddler has been put with relatives.

While we're busy discussing whether Twitter can become the next big search engine, or if Google can figure out how to tap into the "fresh" micro-content being churned out every second, we're missing one crucial element that's preventing both sides from achieving their goal.
The nofollow link tag.

What was initially sold by Google as a means to stop our "Google Juice" being shared with sites we don't trust, is now so pervasive, it's preventing search engines from tapping into the hundreds of newly minted web pages, video streams, images, and blog posts that are shared each day on sites such as Twitter.

Black Friday
Can we talk about America?
No, don't fret. I won't go anywhere near the election, at least not intentionally.
No, I'd like to discuss something else entirely American. A day which is quickly becoming lumped into the broader "holiday season" wherein millions make sacrifices to the golden calf of retail consumerism, spilling both blood and gold at the altars of Big Box Temples nationwide.
Yes, this will be one of those posts.
As we head into the week of Thanksgiving, it's not unusual to see posts such as these, people commenting on the temporary madness that overwhelms these overstuffed and overtired American citizens as they fight tooth and nail for a quick $50 savings on toys or electronics. Yet, as an ardent hater of the actions which have become synonymous with the day after Thanksgiving, I am still given to question aloud: "Why oh why aren't we better people?"
The hypocrisy of this day, this "Black Friday," (an apt title if ever I heard one) is not lost on me. Thanksgiving is an untouchable holiday. There aren't any religious origins to misconstrue or get bent out of shape about, no arguments about what it's supposed to be called, (It's Thanksgiving in this house, not T-Day, dammit!) and overall celebrates a trait everyone could use a little more of. Now, while I do agree that the typical, modern-American way of celebrating this holiday is a little different from Thanksgivings past, I believe the root of the holiday is simple, straightforward, and overall good for humanity.
But to wake up only hours later, standing in the pitch black like zombies only capable of monosyllabic utterances (SAAAAALE!) completely negates any good promoted the day before.
My wacky sister first introduced me to the idea of this retail madness years ago whilst I was still living under my parents roof.
"It's great people watching!" she said, telling the entire family about one retail chain who would open their doors at 5 AM (a late start these days) and began moving as much product as they could to a gluttonous and overzealous herd of mildly insane shoppers. "Plus, you can save a few extra bucks," continued my sister as our family dined on a delicious home cooked meal. She invited us all to go, and if my memory serves, no one did.
Years later, I became a working member of the retail masses, for whom the words "Black Friday" illicit the same response as "MacBeth" does from actors or "Bill Buckner" from fans of the Boston Red Sox.
I worked as a barista for many years and had to endure more than one day after Thanksgiving day of work, and I will never do it again. I saw customers on both sides of this madness, going into and coming from what I not-so affectionately refer to as the "battle zone." Going in, these customers looked resilient, ready for a fight; And if they weren't, they knew to put on a brave face. Anything less than intimidating won't get you one of those crockpots you think your aunt might want. Coming in from the cold, sobering realization of the utter darkness of a humanity left unchecked, these people looked battle worn and weary, like they had seen the Other side of something and were worse for the wear. I half expected them to grab me by the shoulders and say, "If you only knew what's happening out there! Don't you ever leave here, stay hunkered down until they all leave! They're monsters!"
Now, just like the pox this day has become, it will even spread into our untouchable, sacred Thanksgiving holiday. Some of the biggest retailers, the Kmarts, the Targets, the Walmarts of the world, will begin their sales at 8 PM on Thanksgiving Day. One would certainly hope that this move would prevent some of these long lines, the dangerous situations, these murderous retail zealots from taking on a mob mentality, ensuring a safer experience for all. However, crazy is as crazy does, as my mother always said. (She never said that.)
There are those out there who are honestly enticed by the promise of paying less. These are the puritans of this consumerism religion. Then there are those who just want, who so desperately want someone to challenge them over the last e-reader, the last stuffed toy, the last $200 laptop that will inevitably be used to look at cheap, amateur porn.
These are the same people who will refuse to let a merging car onto the highway. They get off on confrontation. These are the zealots, the extremists.
People die on the day after Thanksgiving, and not just because it's another day and we can say that about any other day on our calendar.
These people aren't dying to protect their family or fight for a cause they believe in. They aren't dying to make this world a better place, to maybe one day give their family and loved ones something to be thankful for. No, they're dying because some store somewhere was selling $5 DVDs, because if they were one of the first 100 in line, they'd receive a special "door buster" prize or first dibs to a piece of electronics they'd probably never buy under any other circumstance.
When I worked for this particular coffee chain, I'd sometimes have to work on holidays, such as Thanksgiving or Christmas. And without fail, I'd have more than one customer ask me the same question: "It seems a shame that you have to work today…why are you guys even open?"
And while I never allowed myself to be so impolite, my first internal answer was always:
"Well, you're here, aren't you?"
A church is filled with all types of believers, but no matter who packs the building, the minister will always have to be in attendance. No matter their intention, if people are willing to shop at 8 PM on Thanksgiving Day, employees will also have to be there, away from their families to earn, at best, time and a half pay.
People die on the day after Thanksgiving. In fact, I'd wager a guess that the number of deaths at retail establishments on the last Friday in November has been growing over the past 15 years. Many have questioned why we allow ourselves to get so worked up over saving so little cash, how we as a society can celebrate being thankful for what we have one day only to scratch and claw at others to fill our oversized SUVs the next. The idea, the notion, the very concept of this "holiday" is completely asinine.
Like many others, I am left wondering why so many of these stores even bother to participate in this madness.
The answer is clear: "You're here, aren't you?"

I could tell what JB was thinking just from the look in his eyes, or what I could see of them, but he had to verbalize it, "Come on I really don't want to do this." I'm sure he didn't but a lost bet has consequences. It was time to go play some 2-on-2 tournament basketball and he looked ready. He was carrying his basketball in one hand, his sandals in the other, and sporting a bright orange and pink spandex leotard, which can you believe has to be special ordered. I thought the big and tall store would have a couple to choose from but they don't. Anyway where was I, oh yeah, and a matching blindfold with a couple tiny holes poked out. For safety. At this point there was no escaping our fate, JB knew that what he wanted was no longer relevant. When we finally arrived we were ready to ball.

Breaking news! Kobe Bryant is injured. No one has been talking about this. And in a further Razzball exclusive – he's old. Not exactly the best combo coming back from a major injury, followed by another pretty bad one just a few games back. After a re-examination, apparently the knee bone still isn't connected to the leg bone, so let's call the whole thing off! Will be examined yet again in three weeks, and that's just another knee rub-rub. Who knows how much longer it will be after that. Good news is! Jodie Meeks is still gonna kill it, Kendall Marshall is still going to hand out dimebags like a Colorado bakery, and with the Lakers still atrocious, we can make a pretty educated guess that Kobe is going to be out A – until he is 100%, no questions asked, no way he could get hurt again healthy or B – the season. Leaning B. And even if A happens, it would be so late and in such limited minutes that I don't think the value is worth it. Cut him in 10 or 12-teamers. Just do it. I know some people will keep holding him, if you're in 1st or 2nd and fine for the playoffs and wanna stash, I can't argue much with you, but I think the time is now to use that spot for others. Tough year for Lakers fans, but hey, you're not the Bucks… Here's what else went down across the NBA-o-sphere:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Remember back in the day when you played Oregon Trail every waking moment? I only sorta remember because I kept getting dysentery… But I imagine an update should have the mythical creature of LaMarcus Aldridge as some sort of omnipotent deity that you hope comes to your aid. "Your wagon is stuck in quick sand, use 1 of 3 remaining LaMarcus Aldridge summons?" Hells yea! And then I need him to save my oxen. Huge game from LA last night putting up a career-high points and a sick 44/13/5/0/2 line including 14-17 FT while the crowd chanted "M-V-P" all 4th quarter. Scored the last 15 points, went 8-8 at the stripe in the last 70 seconds, all in a 5-point win. The Nuggets just had nothing for him inside when he was crashing the glass, and LA was boarding like a beast. I know he's had a lot of Goromotaros, but almost all the boards he got in this one were in traffic. And the Nuggets were fouling him extremely hard all 4th quarter. Gonna need an ice bath! All he has to do is come to the east coast and jump in a lake. One of my worst calls of the year was my poor Aldridge ranking, but if you can't get it right, join em! Or something like that… Traded for him in REL and in another league. I don't know why owners were pulling a Kurt Russell and trying to Escape From L.A., but enjoy your huge stats and the first-round value you're accruing.

Last night was a doozy. Flummoxing. I actually had to look up flummoxing to be sure it worked. And it does! But there are numerous things that aren't working for the Kings, mainly Rudy Gay's Achilles and DeMarcus Cousins' ankle. Gay actually wasn't "Leon" down in pain like DeMarcus after DMC fully rolled his ankle, but neither sounds like any sort of fun. With Cousins, the diagnosis is a "moderate sprain" and I gotta say, a big near 300-pounder putting all his weight on an ankle the turns 90 degrees the wrong way doesn't sound moderate. Moderate maybe in the sense that the dude in 127 hours only had to "moderately" scratch his arm to get free! I'd expect at least a few weeks. But, "I'm not a doctor, I'm a pool man!" Then there's Gay's Achilles which you could see in his face he was in bad pain and exited pretty quick, albeit under his own power. We all saw Kobe Bryant limp off under his own power with the torn Achilles, so this one is definitely a hold-your-breath injury. The obvious immediate add in most formats is Derrick Williams, who I kinda disregarded when he was acquired, but now is in a "you-better-be-able-to-score-a-lot-because-we'll-need-it" starting role. Solid 22/11/1 with three treys last night in 40 minutes of duty. Just added him in one league for the ice cold Terrence Ross for example. Ross is like, "hey don't blame me, it's this effin' weather!" Yes – I narrate my fantasy teams. Someday soon I hope to put on a finger puppet show. Here's what else I saw last night in a wild evening of fantasy action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Howdy. I'm back, y'all, From two weeks of vacay in Mexico. And I'm feeling very zen. Nothing like 8 days of rain to help you find your centre. I stopped trying to watch NBA ball in Spanish on day 3, (Se chupu bollas!) so I'm a little out of touch with current events. But since that does you no service, good reader, I'll give you what I managed to scrounge up:Please, blog, may I have some more?
If you have been stashing (or if you're Grey, staching) Marc Gasol on your roster, you were feeling some Good Vibrations last night! Less because of the production, but more with the early arrival and fantasy goodness. And that good-ol Gasol Wildside. Now, I may be too young to remember Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, but I am old enough to [barely] remember when Gasol went down that I said he was a hold in all formats. You may be saying "no duh!", but he was dropped in several shallower leagues by those darned knee-jerkers. But as we talked about in the comments earlier this week, I see Gasol getting eased in and a tad rusty the first few games, but then back to a beast. 3-7 for 12/4/1 and 6-8 at the stripe last night. You'll take that from a guy you've stashed! The Thunder tried to rough him up and it didn't work. Only 24:12 on the court, but the one assist he had was vintage Gasol and should leave you feeling dandy from this point on. And props to Prodders for breaking the news and hopefully you got him in your line-up. Our comments save lives! New Razzball bumper sticker.

Before this NBA season I couldn't look at Mike D'Antoni without thinking of Cy Tolliver, the second-tier villain on HBO's "Deadwood."
But I had no idea that D'Antoni would behave like his fictional doppelganger (played by Powers Boothe) and that he would turn the Lakers into the Bella Union Saloon, a place rife with rigged gambling, card games that end in gunfire, out-in-the-open prostitution and inexplicable frontcourt rotations. OK, maybe just the last thing.
There really seems to be no method to D'Antoni's madness. Jordan Hill got some serious run at the end November and responded with some double-digit rebound games, so of course coach slashed his minutes down to the high teens by the beginning of December. Around the middle of the month he called Hill's number again, and the results weren't surprising: He produced some nice games, including a 21-9-1 on Dec. 16 at Atlanta. Now Hill is starting, but his minutes have been crunched down to around 20 per game.Please, blog, may I have some more?
That title is pathetic. But so am I, juggling Christmas shopping, and my obligation to the Razzball faithful. This Article will be the equivalent of giving everyone on my list 25 dollar home depot gift cards as Christmas gifts, you'll smile uncomfortably, and mutter "thanks, you shouldn't have.", or some such apathetic reply after finishing it. One day I'm gonna have the balls to prank my wife with that move, and see how long she can keep "the spirit of the season is to give, not receive" farce going before I get whacked with a candlestick. But it was no prank to see Kemba Walker ice the Raptors in OT, one night after Damian Lillard did the same thing to the Cavs. These young guns sure are fun to watch (sorry Javaris, too soon?), and even more fun if they're on your fantasy team! let's take a look at the some of the other pistols in the arsenal:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Man! I was loving that game! Through three contests (the inaugural one in the comments then when adopted into the piece), I didn't get a single win! For shame… At least now with Kobe Bryant missing 6 weeks, we'll be brimming with excitement to relaunch the game! I never ended up with Kobe anywhere, so I'm downplaying the real fantasy impact here… Kobe owners are asking should I hold or should I let go? I think he is probably a hold in almost all leagues if you can, but man, these top-end injuries are killin' out there! Plus we have to remember it's a fractured knee and a re-sewn up Achilles. And he wasn't setting the world on fire anyway. Kobe is turning into Jeter from last year! Bryant is a medical marvel though, he can jump over cars going 40 MPH and come back after bone spurs a game later. So he's worth the stash unless it's a very shallow 10-teamer or smaller, or you're just a triage of injuries.

Ahhhh weed jokes. The Pacific Northwest. Their team is the Blazers. Rasheed Wallace used to play for them! But I don't think Oregon has legalized it yet. What's the world like in Colorado and Washington these days? Something like Amsterdam? Although, even though I went there, I hardly remember it. If you have Damian Lillard though, you're surely remembering the night he put up last night! 11-23 shooting, 8-12 3PTM for 36 points, a surprising 8 boards, and a dimebag right on the nose with 10 assists. Plus a game-winner! The near triple-double moves Lillard to 10th overall in Total Value according to Basketball Monster, and a true American Hero! And by that, I mean my 19 overall rank of him got flack more than a few times through the rankings iterations, and looking peachy keen now. He's lowered his TOs almost a full turnover a game since his rookie year, upped the 3PT% and my favorite – is becoming an elite FT% guy going 5.2-5.6 a night at 91.8% for the season. Getting to the line and making em, pretty much the antithesis of Andre Drummond! Hey o! Oh wait, I mean, I'm jinxing Drummond, he's the bast center in the world and will all the sudden shoot 95% from the stripe once he adopts the Barry granny shot… Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy hoops:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Will Brinson of CBS Sports reports that the Carolina Panthers have traded running back Kenjon Barner to the Philadelphia Eagles for a conditional 7th round draft pick.
Why the trade works for the Carolina Panthers
The Panthers already have a log jam for running backs behind the 'Four Horsemen,' that is quarterback Cam Newton, running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, and fullback Mike Tolbert. There aren't that many spaces left behind those guys and Kenjon Barner was given ample opportunity to nail down that spot. Barner was a non-factor in two preseason games while running back Fozzy Whittaker had a real productive game against the Chiefs with 71 yds and a touchdown on 11 carries.
The Panthers were likely going to cut Barner, but this way they get something for him.
Why the trade works for the Philadelphia Eagles and Kenjon Barner
Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly runs a different brand of offense all his own, and he is looking for players who know his system. Barner played for Kelly at Oregon, and therefore can be brought up to speed quickly. Kelly knows how he used Barner at Oregon, and he can find some way to use him in Philadelphia if he needs to. Kelly did suggest that Barner would also help the return game. If Barner was going to help with the return game, I think the Panthers would have kept him.
NFL rosters must be down to 75 members by August 26, and then they must be down to their final 53 man roster sizes on August 30 at 4:00 PM.
The Carolina Panthers travel to Gilette Stadium to take on the New England Patriots on August 22. They finish their preseason schedule with a visit to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field on August 28. Both games are 7:30 kicks with local television coverage.
