Comments about this product:
Deadwood is simply the best television series I have ever seen, Western or otherwise. I am only reviewing Season 1 here, but the comments apply to all 3 seasons. Avid fans were promised 2 movies to follow the cancellation of the series after the third season but it never happened. It is for adult audiences only for sure as the language and violence can get very intense. For those of us over the age of 18, this show has the best and most unique script writing I have ever experienced. Think William Shakespeare mixed with alcoholic gangsters... the writer/creator of the series is David Milch, whose previous claim to fame was NYPD Blue. Deadwood was his masterpiece. He hasn't come close to repeating the success since the series was cancelled.
Do yourself a favor and get the complete series package which has some neat features.. But if you only want to try one, get Season 1 which sets up the whole series and has good featurettes on the history of Deadwood and series production. You will end up getting all three anyway... Enjoy!

Investigators await autopsy results in "suspicious' death
Published: Sunday, May 5, 2013 at 5:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 6, 2013 at 6:12 p.m.
An autopsy was being conducted late Monday on Loretta Lynn Dyer, whose body was found in her mobile home on Sunday.
Photo Galleries
Authorities have called the death "suspicious," but have stopped short of declaring a suspicion of foul play. Dyer, 32, was found by neighbors at her home at 1628 SW 42nd St.
While no one has been arrested in connection with the death, authorities said Monday they do not believe there is a need for the public to be concerned.
"If GPD felt there was any concern for public safety, you would have heard something from us much earlier," said Gainesville Police spokesman Officer Ben Tobias.
"We have no evidence that would lead us to believe that the general public is in any type of danger related to this case," he said.
The cause of death for Dyer will not necessarily be known once the autopsy is complete. If the manner of death is not readily apparent from the autopsy, authorities will have to wait on toxicology reports, which can take from six to eight weeks.
Shortly after her body was discovered Sunday, neighbors described Dyer as friendly, often making conversation with passersby. Neighbors also told police that Dyer lived alone with no electricity.
On Monday, Tobias said that Dyer lived what he described as "a risky lifestyle'' and the home where she lived was a very transient residence.
"We're trying to figure out who was with her and around her in the last few hours of her life," Tobias said.
Dyer was reportedly in a relationship with 40-year-old Brian Noric Cummings. Cummings listed Dyer's address as his residence in February 2012 when he was arrested for stealing a 52-inch, flat-screen TV from a nearby home.
Cummings is now serving a sentence at the Santa Fe Work Release Center in Gainesville, where he is scheduled to be released in November.
Investigators have spoken to Cummings and do not suspect him of involvement in Dyer's death, Tobias said.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"Beer is the fountain of happiness; we should not question its power, but blindly frolic in its foamy ways."
Beer, commonly called the "water of life" or "logic potion," is a bubbly, appetizing, piss-colored fluid that sustains life and is the result when barley, hops, spices, and water are mixed with magic.
edit Description
"Yellow, fizzy, delicious, yellow, fizzy, delicious, yellow, blurry, fizzilicious."
In 1842, the experiments of Louis Pasteur proved that beer possessed abilities to "help white men dance," and "help ugly people get laid." Since this remarkable discovery, beer has risen in prominence in worldwide culture, unfortunately leading to such excesses as the 1970s disco movement and beer pong.
The British have many different words for beer, as Eskimos have for snow and African Americans have for young women. They use words such as lager, Pilsener, and swill to carefully define each batch, to showcase their self-image as connoisseurs (that is, closet Frenchmen). Any liquid selection made at a British pub, however, has the advantage of being safer and more nutritious than ordering food there. The British like their beer warm and flat. This simplifies the conversion to vomit.
In the United States, by comparison, the single word "beer" covers many things that are not beer, including diet beer ("light beer"), which has 75 calories instead of 100 but makes you consume 150 calories to get the same buzz.
edit Nutrition facts
Beer contains high amounts of sodium, carbohydrates, and instant insight and eloquence. For this last attribute, only screw-top supermarket wine is more popular.
Beer is one of the four essential food groups and is at the very top of the "nutrition pyramid."
Beer is the most important item in the Western diet, surpassing even pizza, buffalo wings and pastrami sandwiches with jalapeño peppers, Tabasco sauce, and Fritos. It is as beloved to Americans as ketchup, with which it ought not be mixed. It is also used as currency in many nations, and as foreplay before sex.
edit Potency
Brewing a potent batch of beer has always been painstaking and time-consuming, except for a few years in the vicinity of Detroit, Michigan when the Stroh's family conducted experiments in "flash-brewing."
Beer cans never say how potent the beer is. There was a brief exception to this too, and the Supreme Court ruled that, although government could make brewers put an awful lot on the label that people don't want to read, it could not keep them from including stuff that people did want to read. As usual when the American people acquire a new right, they promptly lost interest.
Drinkers around the world know that beer is much more potent on the opposite side of the border. They would rather get a passport than get a forty-ouncer of malt liquor at home.
edit Beer in American culture and politics
"Why does beer go through you so fast?"
American beer is brewed in gigantic factories in the Rocky Mountains (and in other similarly scenic places, such as Milwaukee). Near the brewery, there are always pastoral landscapes of glaciers, the aroma of pine trees, and the Silver Bullet locomotive.
Comprised almost entirely of water, American beer is rarely drunk in any of the countries in the world due to it being for 'Pussies'.
Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal" revived the tin industry. Since Tin Lizzies had become outdated, the tin had to be used for something else, as did Lizzie. Fortunately, Roosevelt also put an end to Prohibition, which had devastated the bottle-making industry. The tin was used for a new invention: the beer can. This was the decisive "wonder weapon" of World War II, since the Allied beer cans were lighter than the bulky German beer bottles. The GIs still got supply when the Krauts got dry.
Postwar American culture came to be dominated by the beer can. In the year 2000, George W. Bush, became President after a campaign that culminated with a debate about the benefits of beer when navigating the curvy roads around Kennebunkport. His successor, Barack Obama, went further in 2008 with the slogan, "Yes, we can!"
After the elections, Obama's plunging popularity, happily, did not affect the popularity of beer. Indeed, after a white policeman caught an African American professor trying to break into his own home, Obama held America's first "beer summit," using the amber liquid to tranquilize his guests for another tedious discussion of the legacy of slavery.
No one can mention beer culture without thinking of sports — especially gymnastics. Ever since Mary Lou Retton wore a Budweiser leotard in the 1984 Olympics — aware that most television viewers do not so much read but look at the pictures — beer has become intertwined with the gymnastics culture, to the point where the pommel horse in the 2004 Olympics was shaped like a Michelob Ultra bottle.
edit Beer around the world
Factory production of beer is a relatively recent development. Originally, beer was brewed, one barrel at a time, by monks in Mediocre Britain.
Germany and Ireland compete for the title of the originator of beer. Whilst the German produce a fine, sophisticated drink similar to lemonade that overwhelms the drinker with great taste of brewed Weet, the Irish relish a substance similar to sweet but bitter; that is, liquid bread that tastes exactly like a dandelion. Ireland's notorious beer Duel is often used in its tradition of capital punishment.
Belgians often use beer as a weapon to commit robberies, and as an alternative to productivity to achieve job promotion. Belgian beer is also a useful tool against English football hooligans (who, after a few hours, are too drunk to find the stadium). When football is out of season, the Belgians add ingredients such as orange peel to disgust the British and keep it all for themselves.
When on holiday in France, tourists should avoid the phrase book, which translates beer as la bière. Ordering up a byrrh will always satisfy, and will make one forget that the order of l'escallope wasn't hardly seafood either.
In Australia, drinking beer is done with "me mates" and begins with the rousing call of "watch under!" This toast, like "Fore!" in golf, is a useful warning to bystanders to stand clear to avoid being spattered. Australian beer is uniformly delicious, except for Fosters, which in Australian, means "fit only for export."
edit Most popular brands
Beer drinkers everywhere develop extreme loyalty to their favorite brand of beer. (This, however, does not rise to the level of going without if it should be unavailable.) The following brands are the world's best sellers:
- Budweiser is a slightly-worse-than-tasteless American lager with a renowned German name. The decision of the Budweiser family, four centuries ago, to license the brand in America — that is, to pocket chump change, ensuring that the makers and their descendants could never bring their best product into the world's biggest market without immediately being ridiculed for low quality — is taught in German business schools along with New Coke, the Hindenburg, the Titanic, and the Maginot Line. (Sadly, the marketeers of Lowenbrau skipped these classes as well.)
- Chimay Blue is a popular Belgian beer, though it is not blue at all, but the label is. It is ordered at bars by people who range from effete to effeminate.
- Der Vieselpiß is the favorite beer of Germans. They enjoy its smooth texture despite a musky aftertaste and do not concern themselves with the list of ingredients.
- Sucia Modelo ("Dirty Model") is a Mexican dark beer with an earthy taste reminiscent of finding oneself face-down on the edge of town at dawn. Oddly, the version sold in the United States is indistinguishable from Corona, which is indistinguishable from Coors, which is indistinguishable from Pabst except that the headaches are milder.
- Tabula Rasa ("Blank Slate") is a fine American lager that takes its name from the psychology term for the state of the human mind at birth. The name is a testament to the extreme potency of this beer. Its slogan is, "The Wicked Potent Beer.™" Three or four bottles and you stop wanting to visit Canada.

Do we really need to say Anime only for "Anime Only" characters' jutsu list? Personally, I find it it redundant and pointless. Steveo920, 9:29, February 25, 2010

- Utakata has most of his list as anime-only because since he technically debuted in a splash page, and a fanbook named his base technique, those are his "manga" appearances. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:16, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Red-hot UF volleyball sweeps Wildcats
Published: Friday, October 11, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 12, 2013 at 1:10 a.m.
Visiting Kentucky found out Friday what so many Florida opponents have discovered this season.
When it comes to playing these Gators, it's a matter of picking your poison.
Placing four players in double-digit kills led by freshman right-side hitter Alex Holston's match-high marks of 13 kills and .667 hitting percentage, second-ranked UF (16-1, 5-0) polished off the 15th-ranked Wildcats 3-0, winning all three sets by identical 25-20 scores before an O'Connell Center crowd of 2,512 and a regional television audience.
It was Serve for the Cure night in honor of October being breast cancer awareness month.
UF, which won despite a season-high 18 service errors, hit an impressive .372 as a team and almost doubled the Wildcats (12-4, 4-1) in kills, 54-29, while holding them to a .188 hitting mark.
"They are a tough out," coach Mary Wise said. "The job we did from a defensive standpoint, limiting Kentucky with their high-powered offense to 29 kills (on 96 attempts), says a lot about our defense tonight. We set the tone early with some key blocks, but just made some plays in the back row."
The victory extended UF's winning streak to 11 while ending Kentucky's win streak at seven in a battle of the SEC's highest-ranked — and hottest — teams.
It was also UF's 10th sweep during its current run and eighth in a row.
Sophomore outside hitter Gabby Mallette had 12 kills while senior first-team All-American middle blocker Chloe Mann and sophomore outside hitter Ziva Recek each added 11, with Mann, UF's all-time career leader in hitting percentage, finishing yet another match without a hitting error.
"It's just ridiculous," Wise said. "It doesn't happen in our sport. You're going to make hitting errors; it's part of the game. But obviously no one told her that."
Holston wasn't far behind with just one error in 18 attempts.
"Alex has the ability to see the block and hit around the block," Wise said. "She just has such a huge hitting window, and I think she hit all parts of the court tonight."
Recek, meanwhile, picked up her fourth double-double of the season with a match-high 14 digs, one of three Gators in double-digit digs along with redshirt junior libero Taylor Unroe (12) and junior defensive specialist Holly Pole (10).
After losing a hard-fought first set that featured eight ties, the Wildcats took the early lead in set two, scoring the first three points and building a 6-3 lead. But UF responded by scoring eight of the next nine points to go up 11-7 and never again trailed although Kentucky got within one on several occasions, the last at 19-18.
"I think that definitely tested our mental focus," Mann said. "For us to be down and be able to come back from that deficit and stay stable and steady showed a lot of composure and that we're playing with a lot of confidence."
The Gators led wire-to-wire in set three, hitting a blistering .500 and closing it out on Holston's last kill that tied her career-high.
Kentucky was led by senior middle blocker Alexandra Morgan's six kills and .462 hitting percentage. UF held senior outside hitter Whitney Billings, a 2012 second-team AVCA All-American, to just five kills and a .176 hitting mark.
The Gators return to the O'Connell Center to face a much-improved Georgia team at 2 p.m. Sunday.
The Bulldogs (14-3, 4-1) dropped homestanding South Carolina on Friday by scores of 25-21, 25-20, 27-25 and have already equaled their win total from last season.

How much I missed, simply because I was afraid of missing it. --Paulo Coelho
Strength in Japan and Germany is giving the market a boost this morning. The bears have been growing more confident after two poor days last week but, as is the tendency of this market, it bounced strongly and we are now seeing upside follow-through. The bears are convinced that the sequester battle is going to hit this market eventually but, so far, it is mostly being ignored.
I'm concerned that a topping process has begun, but the important thing to keep in mind is that it is a process, which means there is very likely to be strong action as it plays out. The easiest mistake is to assume that the market will suddenly turn and go straight down. Tops just don't develop in that manner. The normal process is for bounces to occur, which reassure the bulls and keeps things from falling apart too fast.
We saw a good example of this Friday, when the market bounced back after the worst two days of the year. The folks who were worried Thursday afternoon were quick to say that there was nothing wrong with this market and that the selling was just a temporary blip that shook out weak hands. It's regaining its footing and we continue to regain momentum.
While that is possible, my view is that we have to be on guard for further signs of topping action. Recent highs should serve as overhead resistance if that is the case, and we should see a greater inclination to sell into strength. The hallmark of tops is failed bounces, and that is what we have to watch for.
My goal isn't to make a perfect timing call that will gain lots of attention but to navigate the market in a way to make the most money. Calling tops and bottoms is a good way to gain media attention but it is not the best way to trade. You don't maximize gains by going from bullish to bearish in a split second, because that isn't the way stocks behave.
Even if the market is topping, there will be good long trades. If you are too focused on the idea of a top, you are going to miss them. If you went totally bearish after the poor action last week, you have already missed some good bounce action.
On the other hand, we need to take heed when there is a change in market behavior. That did occur, and that means we need to be on guard for further developments. I'm watching closely for more topping action, but I'm not going to be so negative that I forego the opportunities that arise.
A topping process is all about staying opportunistic rather than being ideological. While we have a view of how the market may play out, we don't want that to stop us from seizing the opportunities that are still developing.
This morning the bulls are running and we'll see what they can do. The tendency if for these bounces to go longer than many think is reasonable, but I'm looking for the bears to try to fade this strength.

Tasty? Yes. Creamy? Yes. Healthy? Yes. Simple? Yes.
Missing anything? No.
dairy free pumpkin custard photo by vsimon
You would never guess this creamy pumpkin custard is dairy free. I simply take a standard pumpkin pie filling recipe and substitute firm silken tofu for the evaporated milk in the recipe.
And can you believe it? I did not have the recipe written down. There are hundreds of recipes in my files, and no pumpkin custard recipe. Even though I make it every fall. Apparently, I have been relying on the recipe on the can, and the substitution was in my head. Time to write it down!
Uh oh, I am in trouble.
There was NO canned pumpkin in the store a few weeks ago. There was just a big, sad, bare, spot where the pumpkin usually resides. I could bake a pie pumpkin and use the flesh. But then it would not be a simple, easy recipe.
I am happy to report the store now has cases of canned pumpkin featured on the end caps. Cases and cases. The pile is as tall as I am.
So now we have pumpkin custard. This makes a perfect ending to a gluten free Thanksgiving. Or a pretty nice "on the go" breakfast when you have made it the night before. Protein, fiber, vitamin A.
I admit I have two if it is all I am having for breakfast. 🙂
pumpkin custard, hold the dairy photo by vsimon
Pumpkin Custard, Hold the Dairy
Adapted from Libbey's Famous Pumpkin Pie recipe. I ditched the crust, subbed tofu for evaporated milk, and increased the sugar a bit. Evaporated milk has some natural sweetness, tofu does not.
|Yield: 6 servings
|metric measures
|1 cup dark brown sugar
|240 gm
|1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
|3 gm
|½ teaspoon ground ginger
|1 gm
|¼ teaspoon ground cloves
|.5 gm
|½ teaspoon salt
|3 gm
|2 large eggs
|100 gm
|1-15 oz can pure pumpkin
|425 gm
|1-12 oz package firm silken tofu
|350 gm
|1/4 cup chopped pecans
|30 gm
freshly grated nutmeg, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Put dark brown sugar, spices, salt, eggs, pumpkin, and tofu in a blender and process until smooth, about a minute.
Place 6 ramekins in a 9×13 baking pan. Add water to the 9×13 pan, until it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This is called a water bath and allows gentle heat to bake the custard. You can bake the custard without it, but it won't be quite as creamy.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the ramekins. Bake for 30 minutes.
Allow to cool and remove ramekins from the 9×13 pan. Drain the water. Put the ramekins back in the 9×13 pan and cover with plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Garnish with chopped pecans and nutmeg. Enjoy!
Note: you can substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice in place of the cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.

AFTER a comic case of mistaken identity, the stage is set for Ricky Ponting to put Australia in command of the series decider after he was spared an uncomfortable stint before stumps in his final Test.
Ponting sat in the dressing room chewing his nails as Nathan Lyon was sent out as a nightwatchman with 5.5 overs left in the opening day of the Perth Test.
After Ed Cowan was dismissed for a duck and Shane Watson was given out lbw to Vernon Philander after a protracted review process, the WACA Ground crowd got to its feet to applaud Ponting as, they thought, he walked out for his penultimate innings. Even his wife, Rianna, stood up, unable to hide her nerves until she belatedly realised it was the unassuming off-spinner and not the champion batsman, who was walking out to face Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel and Philander for the final overs of the day. "He [Lyon] uses a Kookaburra bat but that is probably the only similarity," said debutant John Hastings after Lyon (7 not out) survived with David Warner (12 not out) to take Australia to 2-33 at stumps.
Australia's top-order wobble means much will depend on Ponting, whose tentative starts have produced just 20 runs for the series, and he can thank Lyon for shielding him from the attack that has dominated him of late.
" 'Gaz' [Lyon] is a pretty funny fellow and he made it known he was pretty nervous, but I think he did a great job," Hastings said afterwards.
Lyon's staunch protection of Ponting was in keeping with the team's determination to ensure the 37-year-old former captain finished his career with a win, which would mean toppling South Africa as world No. 1.
Propelled by Ponting's retirement announcement on Test eve, Australia's all-new pace attack made a good start, reducing the Proteas to 6-75 before bowling out the touring team for 225. "It's been a pretty emotional few days for everyone. Ricky is such a legend, I've been lucky enough to play a few one-dayers with him and have him as my captain for a couple of games, too. It is the end of an era and I don't think we will actually know what we've lost until he's gone," said Hastings, who nicked out A. B. de Villiers to celebrate his maiden Test wicket.
"His presence in the change rooms is absolutely phenomenal, just his knowledge of the game . . . It's a massive motivation and the boys will use that over the next few days to try to get the result we want."
Though there was no explicit call to "do it for Ricky", Hastings said there was an unspoken desire to mark the end of Ponting's career the appropriate way. "We haven't spoken about that as such, but everyone knows it's his last game and we will be pushing as hard as we possibly can to get that win for him."
Hastings said the pitch should flatten out on day two, providing an ideal stage for Ponting to compose a fairytale farewell at the ground where he was denied a century on debut by a controversial lbw decision 17 years ago.
"I think the wicket will get better and better. I played here in a Shield game earlier this season and the wicket hardened up on day two and started to get a bit of carry and a bit of pace in it," he said. "It will be a new-ball wicket with the grass coverage on it, but if we can bat well for half an hour or an hour I think it will flatten out nicely."

Beneteau Flyer 12 — By Jeffrey Moser
— January 2006
French Flyer
A new deep-V from Beneteau highlights the French builder's collaboration with Volvo Penta and its breakthrough IPS system.
The morning I passed over the Spa Creek Bridge and entered Annapolis, Maryland, I was greeted with a sign that read "Annapolis: America's Sailing Capital." I snickered and promptly ignored it, but I couldn't help but think of sailing's influence on both Annapolis and Beneteau, the French boatbuilder of the Flyer 12 that I was slated to sea trial.
Sandwiched between the busy ports of Baltimore and Washington, D.C., on Chesapeake Bay, Annapolis has been a sailing destination since the 18th century. In the 20th century, as technology provided alternatives to sail, the town became a popular stop along the Chesapeake for powerboaters. In 1908—about the same time these boats began popping up around Annapolis—Beneteau launched a line of powerboats after having built only sailboats for 25 years. So to some degree both city and builder owe a debt to sailing. Yet today both exhibit the full-steam-ahead attitude we powerboaters love. This is evidenced by the myriad naval vessels performing exercises in the waters around the academy and several diesel-powered Beneteau cruisers tightly bunched on a floating dock just outside downtown Annapolis.
Beneteau is best known for its flying-bridge Antares models, as well as its 42-foot Swift Trawler, and when I spotted the Flyer 12 among her siblings, she struck quite a profile. Her ruby-red hull certainly helped, the color a fine complement to the optional teak-clad swim platform. A man stepped from the saloon and introduced himself as Laurent Fabre as I boarded through the sliding transom door. He looked the part of the quintessential European yachtsman: tall, deeply tanned, and sporting sunglasses and a ripstop nylon shell, both of which looked like they'd come from a shop on the Cote d'Azur. I also spied a yachting chronograph on his wrist with more features than my PDA.
Turned out Fabre was the right guy to have aboard. As Beneteau's director of project management, he oversaw the collaboration between the builder and Volvo Penta, whose IPS system powers the Flyer and therefore was a major consideration in her hull design. While her entry deadrise is a secret, Fabre did disclose other details of the Patrick Sarrazin design, such as the fact that her hull has a variable deadrise, with the aftmost seven feet being nearly flat to accommodate the IPS drives. According to Fabre, the hull was tested and tweaked in Beneteau's own test tank extensively over nine months.
Volvo Penta spent years developing IPS, and it shines on the Flyer, thanks to her hull form. We reached an average top speed of 38.9 mph on a calm Severn River, and she came fully around at top speed in just over two boat lengths, with little loss in rpm. But what really surprised me was her efficiency: She managed 1 mpg or better throughout her rpm range. At her cruise speed of 28 mph and 2750 rpm, the Flyer burned 19.8 gph—that's good for a range of more than 400 miles.

Uncyclopedia:Anniversaries/August 7
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
August 7: Anniversary of the Day The Matrix Stopped Being Cool
- 1458 - Math matrices (invented August 6, 1458 on a geometrically shaped island in the Sea of Equations) are deemed annoying. This results in the beginning of mathematicians' decline from 'revered intellectuals' to 'irritating know-it-alls', and eventually to their current status, 'dusty old codgers'.
- 2003 - An adolescent who, for no reason at all, starts mimicking the slow-motion bullet dodge from the first Matrix film on a bus, is appalled to discover that his fellow passengers are not immediately breaking out in applause and high-fives, as is usual whenever any reference to The Matrix is made by anyone at any time.
- 2004 - A suburban family, watching a toothpaste advertisement featuring characters in black leather doing kung-fu, lets out a bored sigh in complete unison.
- 2005 - A stand-up comedian, beginning a joke with the words "You take the blue pill", is booed offstage and has his car tires slashed.
- 2006 - A man is kicked to death for saying "Whoa" in a Keanu-esque fashion.
- 2008 - Robert Mugabe becomes the 44th President of the USA, announces that the Matrix "is totally not cool" and that people caught watching it "will be shot."

I know you all just want World of Warcraft questions and answers, and so, I won't talk about dinosaurs again. I'll just get right to your questions.
Iskande(@IskandeGamer) asks:
Q for the Q: when will you be writing an entire book on paleontology, rather than chapters of books?
You're killing me here, Iskande. To be honest, my interest in paleontology is strictly amateur. I've considered writing a kind of paleontological guide to World of Warcraft covering the real life versions of critters we see in game like the diemetradon from Un'Goro, but I seriously suspect there wouldn't be all that much interest. I love paleontology, believe me, but there's not much call for it around here.
Above me you see the new Direhorn model that will be introduced in patch 5.2, for instance. It's based on Triceratops, one of the most famous of the ceratopsians. However, while its horn arrangement is very suggestive of Triceratops, the large spikes on its frill is suggestive of Styracosaurus, a related ceratopsian that lacked Triceratops' impressive triple horns.

The Premiership campaign of 2011 – 2012 promises to be a keenly contested affair as the standards of the semi professional game are pushed to a higher level by the governing union's initiatives.
The incentive of a reduction from fourteen to ten clubs competing for league honours the following season, the enhancement of WRU criteria and the build up of momentum in the British & Irish Cup are all factors that are set to significantly boost the Premiership's profile.
WRU Head of Rugby Joe Lydon said: "We are looking forward to another exciting and competitive season of Principality Premiership rugby, with the fixtures already whetting the appetite of players, coaches, commercial partners and supporters alike.
"We know the play-off element to the league adds to the competitiveness of the Premiership for a large number of clubs as was seen last season with Cross Keys clinching the final British & Irish Cup spot by beating Newport in the qualification play-off final and Llanelli pipping Pontypridd to the post in the champion club play-off final.
"Our recent review of the Premiership clearly identified that the agreed role and purpose of the Division is yet to be fully realised but the recently announced reforms to be introduced ahead of the 2012/13 season, including the reduction of the league to ten clubs, mean the increase of on and off field resources across the Premier Division, and enhanced performance, development opportunities and sustainability.
"The planned reform of the Premiership will better enable the league to flourish as an entity and will, I am sure, help to underpin the player development models in conjunction with our regional partners, producing fitter, more skilful players for the Regions and hopefully the National Squad."
Giving a Pontypridd objective on developments within the domestic game, team manager Richard Langmead commented: "The standards are getting better and better, and will continue to improve during this coming season. Clubs are aware of the challenges being set and are responding by improving their facilities, their profiles and their playing squads.
"Clubs such as newly promoted Bridgend, Swansea, Newport and Cross Keys will benefit from their relationship with their regions, and will be able to field very competitive teams. There will simply be no easy games in this league. We at Pontypridd face a tough start with three away fixtures during the first month, and we will need to hit form right from the off.
"We set the standard in the league last season but we know that we will need to improve on that next season just to remain competitive."
Attached is a Pontypridd RFC fixture list for the coming season which can be saved and printed off.

Lazy JackLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
I have a friend whose name is Jack. He is really lazy. His science homework is to bring in one pound of something. He said that he's too lazy to find something that weighs a pound and something to hold it. He asked me to get those two things for him. I have 3 options: a thick wooden box that is holding a pound of bricks, a one-pounder shoulder bag, and a stack of a pound of books wrapped in one layer of thin wrapping paper. I want to give Jack the heaviest of my three objects. Which one should I choose?
HintThis is not a trick question: there is an answer.
AnswerI should choose the box of a pound of bricks-- a thick wooden box weighs more than thin wrapping paper. Every object (other than the box and paper) weighs a pound. The box full of a pound of bricks weighs most.

Twins fall behind early, then Tribe pulls away
Pino allows three runs in second, and offense struggles with RISP
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins have fallen into bad habits after the All-Star break.
They keep finding themselves down early in games, and the offense hasn't been able to pick up the slack due to struggles with runners in scoring position.
It continued Tuesday night, as the Twins found themselves in an early hole yet again, and they couldn't climb out of it in an 8-2 loss to the Indians at Target Field.
The Twins have trailed by three runs within the first three innings in four of their five games since the break and have lost all four of those games. They're also 4-for-41 with runners in scoring position over that stretch.
"We've been falling behind early, but at the same time good offensive teams can find a way to scrape some runs together over nine innings," said second baseman Brian Dozier. "But it just seems like when we get down early, we're not very good when that happens. So we have to do a better job."
Right-hander Yohan Pino got through 6 1/3 innings for the Twins, allowing four runs on seven hits and no walks with five strikeouts to get stuck with the loss.
The Indians scored three times off Pino in the second, but he settled down from there for his second-longest career outing in six tries. The three early runs, however, put the Twins in another tough spot from which they couldn't recover.
"We got behind early but [Pino] hung in there," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We just didn't do much offensively again. We misfired a couple times when we had opportunities."
Carlos Santana started the rally in the second for the Indians with a leadoff double before Lonnie Chisenhall was hit by a pitch and Nick Swisher singled to load the bases with nobody out. Pino struck out Yan Gomes but gave up a two-run single to David Murphy and a sacrifice fly to Mike Aviles to give the Indians an early lead they wouldn't relinquish.
Cleveland added another run in the fifth on a solo shot from Santana, who beat the shift in his previous at-bat on a bunt down the third-base line. The homer, which landed in Target Plaza in right field, came on a 3-2 fastball from Pino and was the 15th long ball of the year for Santana.
"I gave up a couple runs in the second inning, but other than that, I kept the ball down," Pino said. "In the second inning, they found holes. But I just tried to do my job. Against Santana, I tried to go outside but it went over the middle."
The Twins didn't get on the board against Indians right-hander Danny Salazar until the fourth inning on an RBI fielder's choice groundout from Sam Fuld. They were unable to cash in on a prime scoring chance in the second when Salazar issued three straight walks with one out, as Salazar struck out Fuld and Danny Santana to get out of the jam.
"I thought when he did run into trouble, I thought he really reached back for his best stuff," Indians manager Terry Francona said about Salazar, who lasted five-plus innings. "Because of that, the pitch count got pretty high. But I really thought he looked good."
Minnesota scored again in the seventh on a solo shot from Dozier off reliever Scott Atchison. It was Dozier's team-leading 19th homer of the year and came on a 1-0 slider. It also set a career high in homers for Dozier, who set the club record for homers by a second baseman last year with 18.
"My focus is winning games, so whether you hit a homer or not, it doesn't seem as good as if you're winning," said Dozier, who, like Santana, finished a triple short of the cycle.
But the Twins went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position a night after going just 2-for-10 in those situations in a 4-3 win over the Indians on Monday.
The Indians broke the game open with four runs in the ninth against right-hander Matt Guerrier, who saw his ERA rise from 2.67 to 3.86 on the season.
"The game got a little out of whack there at the end," Gardenhire said. "Matty didn't have a good night."

Well Phalax, JRides and even Nullkigan have mentioned many of the points I have problems with, so I won't dwell on those here.
However... The more and more I read about this the more I don't like the direction it's going, also doesn't help that some of you have this thing that is pure nonsense but more on that shortly.
The first thing I want to bring up is, you are "merging the groups" I don't see it like that. I see it essentially as I can not think of a better term right now as, the little group bullying the larger group and succeeding. For one when you merge two entities you DO NOT try to move the larger entity into the smaller one, why? Well because if nothing else you are creating more work for yourself than necessary.
The second point is, RPS and FOLK tell me which one is more likely to be known about? I'm sorry FOLK you may have been around since the Operation Flashpoint days (surprise! So have I) but I had never heard about your existence until I joined RPS for Arma sessions.
What about potential new players hmm? When I hosted the I44 session the other week I was really happy to see two new faces join us, and most importantly enjoy themselves and thus stick around. Where did they hear about our games from? My money is on the fact they read RPS and decided to see what the community around it does.
The third point and this one has bothered me for quite some time...
WTF is this Socialist Agrarian Utopia bullsh*t? Seriously if it's a joke fine but don't use it all the sodding time. The way it is being used for example would be like the following...
Say I like Star Wars for a minute, and I mean really like it. so I start sounding off about the "Glorious Empire!", ok yeah that's fine for a laugh I guess, except I now do it everytime I post/talk. Yeah it's not going to be long before it only pisses people off or worse makes them think you have some form of problem upstairs. You don't use the same knock knock joke over and over, otherwise people stop answering the door.
You don't use the same knock knock joke over an... Oh wait we've already done that.
But my main gripe with that at the moment is, this "merger" it's a BIG thing by the looks of it so DON'T use the unfunny BS when making an "important" annoucement about it. Write it in plain english as it stands I had to read that twice before I fully understood who did what, for example...
Bodge - As Minister of Supervision and State security I will be fielding any enquiries into party policy and managing content published by the party. I will also maintain the security and longevity of the General Secretary's incarceration.
This should have been...
Bodge - Manages the security of Servers and VOIP programs, responsable for mission uploading to the servers. Also around to help with any issues members of the community may be having.
As for those that are saying, "nothing is really changing!" then why make a big thing out of it to start with?
Somebody said they haven't seen any strong objections to all this...
Well here you go, you can consider my voice a strong objection. For what it's actually worth.
Regards Hawk.
I really enjoy playing with both groups, and couldn't pick one over the other because they both offer a really great experience. I'd be the first to admit I'm not the greatest ARMA player, but neither group has ever made me feel lesser or unwelcome. The majority of complaints people seem to have is not liking the semantics or humour of one thing or the other, which just seems petty to me. A lot of the agrarian utopia stuff is chaff, and the jokes can be a bit naff at times, but it doesn't make me want to storm off in outrage, and even if it did I don't think 'I don't like your sense of humour' would vouch as a serious complaint.
06-12-2012, 03:56 PM #44The second point is, RPS and FOLK tell me which one is more likely to be known about? I'm sorry FOLK you may have been around since the Operation Flashpoint days (surprise! So have I) but I had never heard about your existence until I joined RPS for Arma sessions.
I'm sorry, but you're just guessing here and throwing weight around that you've got no proof to back with.
I get that you don't appreciate the humor. I'm surprised that no one ever raised this issue. There have been two boards, chats and easy ways to directly contact the hosts. Why did no one ever come along with a simply "hey I/we don't think the socialist joking isn't as funny as you might think, care to tone it done a bit"? If we had known that people strongly object to this kind of humor then the announcement would probably have been worded differently.

It's okay to not like things.
No, we don't think the Social Agrarian Utopia thing makes any fucking sense whatsoever, and it's not funny trying to politicise a group like that?I like mumble, I think that the running joke of the glorious communist republic is stale as hell and forces people into playing with AKs and shit all the time,a player culture based around this socialist agrarian revolutionary thing, a distinct perspective that seems to say, to me, 'you're not welcome unless you're willing to invest time in us.'

Anyway, it's just a game. Play, don't play, host, don't host. I enjoy running around with a Lee Enfield in Zargabad Safari just as much as team work in Tiger/Ferrad's workshops. Who cares if it's ran by Folk or RPS, I want more cool missions, more variety of mission, and more cool toys in missions. I would also support some kind of official after party after the end of serious stuff. I hope someone can make more "fun" mission since cholo and crazyrace are a bit old now.

Like thekev506, I too found FOLK through a recommendation made by Shacktac - a simple email to Fer and I was welcomed to the following Sunday session. I've only played with them for 3 months now and played my first TT session 2 weeks ago. The only difference I found in the sessions were about a group of 5 people who don't play on Sundays.
As far as I can tell, this MERGE can only benefit both groups in the long run -the fact that ARPS admins/hosts have been heavily involved in said merge just proves it's not a hostile take over by FOLK and has been carried out with both 'parties' involvement.
Is it due to the fact that the name FOLK appears first in the new name? lol
As for the 'party' jokes etc. It's clearly just a joke, something that you don't have to be involved in and easily ignored - it's not my cup of tea, so I just let it go over my head. In the end, I'm only here to play ArmA2 in a fun but organised manner and both groups offer this on two specified days starting at half 7 - if people find it such a struggle to complete a few more mouse clicks to navigate to a different forum/site - just turn up on said days at said times and PLAY.

Well I'll try to clear up on some of what I said as it seems some of it wasn't wrote in the best way, hold on.
The Socialist Agrarian Utopia Stuff: Perhaps I shouldn't have said "Bullsh*t", my apologies. What I was trying to get at, particularly with the Star Wars reference was not "Oh don't use it, it's dumb.", you are welcome to it. More a case of don't use it at every opportunity you can, and not when you are trying to convey something that is important. So it's not that I "don't get the joke" it's more that the joke is over used.
The direction: It all boils down to trying to move a larger group into a smaller one instead of vice versa, ultimately more work for the organisers that way. Also when I said about RPS I wasn't actually meaning RPS as in the front page, I ment as in people go to the front page read it and decide to look at the forums. See an Arma/anyother group and think "well why not, it's a large community".
The other thing I was trying to get at was more basic as in, someone searches Google for RPS there is a good chance they could find the ARPS group if they are looking for a fun Arma group, as it's on RPS's own forums. Where as moving most of the stuff to the FOLK forums it's a lot harder to find out about FOLK. Perhaps I should have said ARPS not RPS in my previous post.
Ultimately one of my main fears is this FOLKARPS could become a lot more closed off to new people in the future. As this to me (but it could be the way it's been brought across) looks like a locking down of the group(s).
As for the name of the group? No I don't give two hoots what it's called, and I'm a little disappointed that you would think that in all honesty.
I do hope my points are easier to understand this time, and apologies of any offense caused aswell. That was not my intention.
Regards Hawk.

Regarding the move and some of Hawk's points;
A lot of the things about the move, to me, are good. It comes across as utterly pointless to run two servers and have two separately named groups doing exactly the same things. The renaming and consolidation of resources is a mostly good thing.
When it comes to Mumble, it pains me to say TS3 is the best option. In my opinion TS3 is worse in every conceivable way (especially that horrific overlay) except maybe the CC function. Even with that, the mumble option requires extra set up but has the potential to be used for multiple command channels with the flexible access token system.
But as long as the mumble continues to drop out with alarming regularity TS3 is the way to go.
(It does make sense to me to use Mumble's comment system to post a link to the arma forum and a short description in the ARMA 2 CO comment. There has been a HUGE influx of new people into mumble i.e. ps2 who don't necessarily read the forums and that link could prove helpful and bring in new faces)
Onto the negatives and Hawk's points re: direction - I don't see any purpose at all in consolidating the forums, especially moving to the Folk ones. Why not simply continue posting AARs for the relevant night to the relevant forums regardless of name change?
Recently the cross-post notifications for Folk AARs onto ARPS has stopped for reasons unknown for me, and those provide logical awareness raisers of the Folk forums.
I see Fer is trying to redesign the Folk website but a search for 'Folk Arma' still brings up the RPS forums as the second result behind BI.
Maybe long term ferstaberinde would make a good home for Folk Arps, but the RPS forums are considerably easier to find and prominent making a big and unnecessary move right now nonsensical unless the community wants to become more closed off.
Last point, regarding the Socialist blah blah blah, I get the joke on a small scale. Eastern bloc Socialism is basically the running joke of politics and I personally find it amusing when it comes up in AARs and even some of the tutorial threads. But using it in 'the end of the beginning' thread really seems like a step too far when the purpose should of been to inform people of a relatively major structural change without any dogma or bull****.
All just my opinion. Make of it what you will.

Somebody just told you, that argument of visibilty is fallacious. I myself found FOLK long before ARPS. Folk was a relatively known community inside the arma 2 community.
Still, seeing that the Arma 2 subforum is still there, I don't really see what negative effect it could have.
Carson, I must have a shitload of stupid and short adversarial low-count missions on my computer, which I designed initially for my old group (meaning with a lot of mods in mind), but I could probably convert some of them if people wish it.
Oh, and this has nothing to do here, but that's good news: the Headless client stuff has been fixed, so we should be able to use that when 1.63 comes out. We're gonna die a lot. And add some cover seeking - suppression effect to the AI.

All right, politics! Relax, I've got this!
I started playing this fall, and had my first sessions with Folk. I discovered the Arma-community here on RPS, so i hope we maintain a strong presence here even with the new webpage and the combined forum for Folk and ARPS.
Never did i get the impression that my complete noobishness was a hindrance or much of a nuisance when i started playing. Everybody seems friendly and informing when new arrivals show up, regardless of how much they know at the start.
It was somewhat difficult to piece together how it all worked without practical experience, since the theoretical outlines of group comms and the like focus so little on what it is to be used for, but wholly on the mechanics. (though that is a topic for elsewhere. Digressomatics aside.)
When i read about TT and Folk on the forums here and over at ferstaberinde Folk seemed the easier to get into. That might be because i appreciated the humour involved in their explanations, and their capacity for self-denigration. Socialist mockery might not work for everybody, though, so to make it more obvious that it in no way is necessary to partake in it might not hurt. (It can be daunting to try to write AAR's over at the Folk-forums with all the well written commentary over there!) The Socialist utopia gone horribly wr...*click*... erm... right, might not be attractive to all folks, so how introduction posts about organization and comms are to be written in the future is something that should be thought about.
When i started playing TT's as well it seemed pretty similar to Folk besides the Mumble-thing and with less socialist banter, and to be honest, to have two nights of socialst banter might be a bit overkill.
As for the seriousness of the sessions. Well, i don't know how it was in the olden days of pre-dayz headcounts, but the more people that are running around on the server the more easily can an unstructured approach get really soggy and bad. Personally, i'm more in favour of the structured approach, since learning proper communication and tactical approaches is what keeps me interested in the game, shooting skills and the like are a means for me, not an end. (Mainly because it's easier for me to notice what a crap shooter i am than what a crappy communcator i am, but hey......! =)) If your playstyle is different, thats okay, and sessions where the focus is to basically just drop into a hotzone and clear it out with some loosely coordinated fireteams (which -never- is the case in TT and Folk, assuredly! ;)) can be fun, though i doubt that is as fun with eight fireteams as it is with two.
The one thing that can be done to make it more welcoming to newcomers is to make sure they slot with informative FTL's. Though then we might devolve into a lot of bickering about who does a good and bad job, which i don't want. But an FTL that knows how to communicate with people who are completely new to a fireteam is what i see as the best that can be done in order to ensure more pleasurable experiences for all. Cause dropping into a fireteam with no understanding of proper tehmanologheee can be quite confusing!
But hey, thanks to all who expend so much time and resources to make these things happen, lets hope the merger creates value(tm) for our glorious organization(c)
This "merger" has been going on for a long time, ever since RPS people started visiting the folk sessions and vice versa, the two groups basically have become more and more aligned.
Yes, there have been major changes in TTs playstyle, actually. Mainly due to the influx of new people and Folk's way of doing things.. TT used to be "We do missions without ******* around". Missions like "night Patrol", "Skirmish Devils" and that mission where it's four people with NVs against 16 people with flashlights. And revive. Tactical Teusday certainly has been a lot more light hearted then it is today.
Personally, I do miss those older days of less people and more light hearted drop-in drop-out action. However, action has already been taken to bring those back, and this has not anything to do with this official merger.
The only thing this official merger does is make the Folk way of communaciting the official way of communcating for these sessions.
I disagree with some of this. The main thing is mumble.
Mumble is awesome.
TS3 is not.
I'd really like to see Mumble as the way of doing things. I'd like to hear the team's motivations for using TS3 instead. I am not a big fan of it.
That is all.
EDIT: I did notice someone complaing about squad leaders doing micromanagement - I think this a problem of those squad leaders themselves, not the general way of doing things.
EDIT2: I'd also like to see some differences in playstyle in the two sessions again - TT used to be about giving us slightly OP weapons as BluFor and setting us up against large odds, whilst my first folk session was being handed a pistol and being told to ambush a truck full of army soldiers in order to grab their weapons. I'd love to see something like that back.

If things go smoothly we will have
1 session server
1 voip server
RPS arma forum for letting people know about stuff
Folk Arps forum and website for containing more information in an environment more people can control (RPS subforum has Null, Fer and myself as mods only)
RPS steam chat where people hang out
Skype chat is around for people that want to use it - it allows a persistent chat.
ARPS steam chat was never really used. You have the old places that still exist, the two sessions that haven't changed much since the player count explosion. I had a chat with egg and he is looking at running less structured sessions.
I don't really see how anywhere is taking over anywhere else. The same people run some sessions the same people play sessions.
If you have a problem with TS3/Mumble then each to their own tastes and this argument makes more sense, I am not sure where such passionate opposition to TS comes from. I personally feel that the CC option in TS3 is so much slicker that it is a massive help when in session. I don't use an overlay on either and other than that TS3 works just as well as mumble and doesn't bug out anywhere near as frequently.
The socialist thing is not something I am fussed about either way, it is very tongue in cheek.
If you don't like something about how the sessions are run then by all means let us know. But don't try and make the simplification of servers and such sound massively sinister or epically proportioned. It is some important info that should help organising sessions easier and joining sessions easier.
This is really irritating me when people are speculating what is going to happen. There is no monumental change to how you play arma (the biggest is arguably the voip) but if you have queries or concerns talk to me.
EDIT: Oh and i am going to rename the thread for clarity.

Disclaimer: I don't give two shits about any of this, I'm gonna play at TT and Sundays either way(Assuming this post doesn't get me banned from said sessions). This is all based out of my love for drama and playing devils advocate. Also I hold no grudges against any of the hosts/admins/people I'm about to annoy.
Just a few quick issues I will raise while trying not to go into too much detail. Keep in mind this is all being direct and simple. I care not for any of that "well technically..." bullshit.
1) Everyone keeps saying "it's not a takeover, it's a merger" but I'd like to ask, other than the date of the Tuesday play session, what are you really keeping from the RPS side if things? (speaking strictly in regard to things that affect ArmA play sessions. RPS steam chat, for example, isn't related to ArmA sessions other than that a lot of us hang out there.) TT is being moved to Folks default server, VoIP is being moved to Folks TS3 server, AAR and other ArmA discussion is being moved to Folks forums. So to say it's an equal sided merger seems facetious to me (i promised myself I would use that word in this post. Yes I know it's used incorrectly, I don't care)
2) Another thing said is "If you have issues, bring them up to us and we will handle them" but this thread is basically just people bring up issues, and hosts saying offhand "that's not an issue, you're wrong."
3) The sexualist agricultural ethiopia joke is amusing at times, but as has been said, shouldn't be used in official business stuff.
4) My only issues with how serious/nofunallowed folk is, is yelling at everyone to shut up while the CO plans. If banter is killing his ability to think, maybe turn down the volume for a couple minutes instead of yelling at everyone else, though I've never heard (or maybe I have. I'm not good with voices) a CO ask for silence, just the hosts.
5) I'm trying to make a fun time mission in between the getting frustrated at the real mission I'm making but I have no idea what I'm doing. Expect finished products about a week after ArmA 3 comes out and makes it all irrelevant.
well shit. So much for a quick and concise post.
When I do get a chance to play, I've always preferred the FOLK sessions. AKs are rad. From my limited time I've observed that Tactical Tuesdays are just FOLK with more than AKs and trucks. I've played back when it was just 15-20 dudes and more recently with the large player base. In my mind FOLK and RPS have always been interchangeable. For both I simply configured things the way I was asked, hopped in and played. Never got any flak for it either. I remember my first session I was a CO because nobody else wanted to be, and it was totally fine. Aside from mission selection I couldn't tell you the difference (hell the player-base is even almost exactly the same), so my two cents is I don't get why everyone's panties are in a wad.
I for one appreciate that we're finally picking one voice client instead of having to have two installed to enjoy both groups when it's essentially the same people playing. Mumble and TS3 are both good, but having to use both is a pain. For what it's worth I think TS3 is much easier to configure/keep configured, though I'll mourn the loss of overlays.
As an American I always thought the Socialist Party stuff was silly British humor and I quite enjoy it (and coincidentally it provides context for a lot of missions which does a lot for my level of enjoyment).
But everyone feel free to disregard anything I say because I really dont get to play that often.
EDIT: Also I guess now is the time to mention that I really enjoyed playing with you guys more when it was just 20 some people instead of the amounts now. That's just personal preference though.
DBLEDIT: I also agree with the sentiment that newer players should be encouraged to slot with more experienced FTLs. I take great pride in my ability to inform everyone that I'm not the greatest FTL/SL and "don't slot with me if you want to live." That should be everyone's personal responsibility, but I also always thought that was common sense.
TRPLEDIT: For the sake of data collection I guess I should also mention I had no idea RPS had an ARMA group until I heard about TT while playing a FOLK session.

To provide clarity
General queries and content management-> Bodge or Fer.
Mission problems -> Contact Wolf, Strang or SvDvorak.
Mod stuff -> Wash.
Server issues -> Harakka, Caper (esp if A2Free) or Null (if financial).
Workshop queries -> Tiger or Carson.
Flight sim stuffs -> Headspace.
So if you don't know who to contact about something just ask any host, but you may be redirected to the relevant person (For missions please press [wolfenswan]).
which laid it out rather concisely.

Oil advanced after Israel carried out a series of airstrikes in the Gaza Strip that killed the leader of Hamas's militant wing, bolstering concern that unrest in the Middle East will intensify and affect supplies.
Futures rose as much as 1.4 per cent after an attack killed Ahmed al-Jabari, according to Ashraf al-Qedra, a spokesman for the Hamas-run Health Ministry. Israel said it was ready to use ground troops to end attacks after more than 115 rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel this week.
"The Israeli strike on Gaza has raised the security premium," said John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital LLC, a New York-based energy hedge fund. "The Israelis made it clear that this may be the first of many strikes. This episode raises tension in an already troubled region."
Crude oil for December delivery advanced 87 cents, or 1 per cent, to $US86.25 a barrel at 1:04 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices are down 13 per cent this year.
Brent oil for December settlement, which expires tomorrow, rose $US1.50, or 1.4 per cent, to $US109.76 a barrel on the London- based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The more actively traded January contract gained $US1.26 to $US108.60.
"This is a clear statement that we won't continue to tolerate this violence against us," Israeli Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom said. Israel is prepared for an escalation in attacks from Gaza in response, Shalom said.
Israel followed the initial attack on Jabari with multiple airstrikes. Columns of smoke were rising above Gaza, according to eyewitnesses. The Israeli army said it called up reserves in advance of any possible infantry assault.
'Direct Hits'
Mortar shells from Syria have also drawn retaliatory strikes from Israel. Israeli tank fire across the Syrian frontier on Nov. 12 was aimed at the source of the mortar fire and scored "direct hits," the army said in an e-mailed statement.
"The Israelis and Hamas are lobbing missiles at each other, which isn't unusual," said Bill O'Grady, chief market strategist at Confluence Investment Management in St. Louis, which oversees $US1.4 billion. "The fact that Israel is also exchanging fire with Syria is increasing worry that everything is going to hit the fan."
Countries in the Middle East and North Africa were responsible for 36 per cent of global oil production and held 52 per cent of proved reserves in 2011, according to BP Plc's Statistical Review of World Energy.
"Prices surged on the initial shock that Israel killed the Hamas leader," said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group in Chicago. "Now the market is retreating from the day's highs as cooler heads prevail. Tension between Israel and Hamas is ongoing, not something new."
Economic Reports
Oil declined as much as 0.5 per cent earlier as reports showed that US retail sales and wholesale prices decreased in October. Purchases fell 0.3 per cent, according to the Commerce Department in Washington. The median forecast of 83 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 0.2 per cent drop.
Wholesale prices slipped for the first time in five months, the Labor Department reported. The 0.2 per cent decline in the producer price index came after a 1.1 per cent increase the prior month. A 0.2 per cent gain was the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey. Excluding volatile food and energy, the so-called core measure fell 0.2 per cent, the first drop since November 2010.
The dollar slid as much as 0.4 per cent against the euro on the American economic figures and concern that the US won't make progress with its budget. A weaker dollar and stronger euro increase the appeal of raw materials as an investment.
US Inventories
An Energy Department report tomorrow will probably show that US crude stockpiles rose 2.65 million barrels last week, according to the median of 10 analyst responses in a Bloomberg survey. Supplies of gasoline and distillate fuel, a category that includes heating oil and diesel, declined in the week ended Nov. 9, the survey showed.
The department is releasing supply data at 11 a.m. tomorrow in Washington, a day later than usual because of the Veterans Day holiday on Nov. 12. The industry-funded American Petroleum Institute will publish its inventory data today.
Electronic trading volume on the Nymex was 449,546 contracts as of 1:03 p.m. Volume totaled 829,142 contracts yesterday, the most since May 4. Open interest was 1.54 million, the least since Sept. 5.

Crazy Cousin MattScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Eclipses of the Sun are created by the Moon blocking the Sun from earth. There are two parts of the eclipse: the umbra, which is complete darkness; and the penumbra, which is an area where only a portion of the sun is covered and there is still light.
Tinman's cousin, Matt, was telling him about his eclipse experience. He recently took a trip to Southern Mexico to see it, and he came back with a fascinating story about how long it took for everything to get dark, and what happened. Matt was angry because the area he was in was supposed to be in the umbra of the eclipse, yet he still saw light. After Tinman explained what happened, Matt realized that he was just confused and thanked his cousin. What did Tinman say?
AnswerDuring an eclipse, all of the Sun is covered. Even though it is covered, solar flares and light are coming off of the Sun, and when the moon covers the Sun you get to see this spectacle. Matt didn't think that was part of the eclipse, so he was confused.

Sukumar Ray, translated by Sampurna Chatterji
Wordygurdyboom! The Nonsense World of Sukumar Ray
Puffin Classics (India), 2008.
Ages: 8+
Sukumar Ray was a Bengali writer born in Calcutta in 1887. After being educated in India and England, he returned to his father's printing press business U. Ray & Sons in Calcutta. At that time, the older Ray had begun publishing a children's magazine called Sandesh. When Sukumar took over the press in 1915, he began to write for the magazine, producing poetry and stories, as well as illustrations for Sandesh. Wordygurdyboom! is a collection of Ray's writing and illustrations, translated from the original Bengali by Sampurna Chatterji. As noted in the introduction by Ruskin Bond, Bengali is a language that 'lends itself to rhyme and rhythm, to puns and wordplay.' Ray, influenced by the nonsense verse of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear, carved out his own unique style of verse in Bengali and, thanks to Sampurna Chatterji's excellent translation, readers can really enjoy his 'non-sensibility' in this English anthology.
The book is made up of a selection of Ray's writings which include poems, stories, and even a made-up hunting diary of a Professor Chuckleonymous. Throughout the book, strange creatures abound like the Limey Cow which is "not a cow, in fact it's a bird" or the Billy Hawk calf who "is forbidden to laugh." There's the Wonster who is a pining, whining, 'nag-nag' or the Pumpkin Grumpkin who looks like a walrus-manatee. In the poem Mish Mash, there are all manners of creatures combined to become such oddities as the 'duckupine,' the 'elewhale' or the 'stortoise."
In Ray's stories, various odd characters appear like the calculating Raven of Haw-Jaw-Baw-Raw-Law or the mischievous school boy Dashu of "Dashu the Dotty One." There's Professor Globellius Brickbat who experiments with cannonballs made up of "nettle-juice, chilli-smoke, flea-fragrance, creeper-cordial, rotten-radish extract," the result of which, as you can imagine, is not flattering to the appearance of the man post-experiment.
Wordygurdyboom! is a delightful collection of writing. What is astonishing, however, is the fact that this is a work of translation. Non-sense verse relies heavily on the nuances of language; that the Bengali could be translated into English in this manner is truly, as Bond points out, 'deserving of a medal.' Much credit has to be given to Sampurna Chatterji for bringing this lively, witty writer's words into English for a new generation of readers to appreciate and enjoy.

Jones School Leadership
April 9, 2009 - On April 3, Rice University's Jones School Marketing Club and marketing faculty hosted the "Understanding Customers, Enhancing Profits" symposium in conjunction with the AMA Houston Chapter and TRC, a marketing research and consulting firm in Philadelphia. The collaboration encouraged local marketing professionals, MBA students and faculty to exchange ideas and explore cutting-edge research going on in the industry.Presentations were given by Jones School faculty, Seethu Seetharaman, Professor of Marketing; Paul Dholkia, William S. Mackey and Verne F. Simons Associate Professor of Management; Sharad Borle, Assistant Professor Management; and Siddharth Singh, Assistant Professor of Marketing. Dr. Rajan Sambandam, TRC's chief research officer, also presented.Sessions included:
As part of the university's mission to engage with Houston by providing innovative educational opportunities, the symposium offered the Jones School as a venue for its faculty and students to interact with marketing professionals in Houston. Conference participants came from various industries and represented companies like 89.3 KSBJ Radio, Alley Theater, Baker Hughes, CenterPoint Energy, Deloitte, Gulf States Toyota, Halliburton, James Blakeslee Design, MD Anderson, Medserve Inc., Stewart Title, Sysco, and University of Texas Medical Branch."We wanted to put together an event that served the unique needs of the Houston marketing community," said Vikas Mittal, the Jones School's J. Hugh Liedtke Professor of Management. "Our community is made up of industrial marketing, business to business, energy, healthcare, and high-tech sectors. These companies have very different marketing needs than traditional consumer-packaged goods companies."The symposium is sponsored in part by the AMA Houston Chapter, the largest in the U.S. and Canada serving more than 900 members with diverse marketing expertise from a variety of industries. The Houston Chapter has been working with marketing professionals for over 50 years.

Karen's Cut: Everything You Need to See by Joel and Ethan Coen
Romance is in the air at these getaways. Here, our top picks for where couples can go to make the heart grow fonder.
There's something primal about being in a remote landscape surrounded by cheetahs, rhinos, and elephants that can be perfect for a couple looking to get back to nature. Singita Sweni Lodge, tucked into the trees of the 33,000-acre national park on the border of Mozambique, is the ideal setting to cuddle up on a safari getaway. The glass-walled suites have a luxe tree-house feel—and absolutely no screens, TV or otherwise, to ruin the view or interrupt your time together. The lodge excels at arranging swoon-worthy meals for couples. A lantern-lit dinner for two under the stars? Breakfast by the river? Then take in all the spectacular natural beauty on open-air jeep rides, where you'll be among the wildlife, including prides of lions and herds of giraffe. If that's just not intimate enough, Sweni can organize a morning of mountain biking or hiking in the bush. Then see just how close you can get.
