The Red Sox played small ball for a while on Wednesday night, never foreseeing how the evening would evolve into one of the greatest longball games in franchise history. Boston tied a team record with eight home runs in its 20-4 victory over the Tigers. The Sox set a team record by having seven players hit those home runs and appropriately, the only one with more than one was David Ortiz.
The Red Sox played small ball for a while on Wednesday night, never foreseeing how the evening would evolve into one of the greatest longball games in franchise history.
Boston tied a team record with eight home runs in its 20-4 victory over the Tigers. The Sox set a team record by having seven players hit those home runs and appropriately, the only one with more than one was David Ortiz.
He had two in a milestone 3 for 5 night, the three hits being the 1,999th, 2000th and 2001st of his career. No. 2000 was a double in the sixth and as he stood at second base, Ortiz got a long, loud and warm ovation from the Fenway crowd.
Ortiz has had 1,608 of those hits in a Boston uniform. The home runs gave him 427 for his career, tying him with Mike Piazza for 46th on baseball's all-time list.
Joining Ortiz in the home run fiesta were Jacoby Ellsbury, Daniel Nava, Ryan Lavarnway, Mike Napoli, Stephen Drew and Will Middlebrooks. When the Sox hit eight homers in a game for the first time, in a 9-6 victory over the Blue Jays on July 4, 1977, six players went deep.
"With what he's meant for the city, for the organization, it was great to see," Farrell said of the ovation for Ortiz, adding that it would be hard to imagine the Red Sox without him.
"It was always a matter of health, not production, or the projection of what he could do, but health."
Said Ortiz:
"I always get caught off guard when it comes down to personal numbers. Most of you guys sometime come to me telling me how far I am from doing things.
"Those sort of things surprise me because I'm not keeping the track of things.
"I just come to the field with my mind focused on winning the next game. And that's me, but it's great getting to that milestone and accomplishing numbers that are at some point, when you're not playing baseball you look at them and thank God for giving you a nice career."
The Sox had to play small ball early because starter Ryan Dempster was not exactly overpowering. Dempster got the win to improve to 8-9, but gave up three runs in the third and another in the fourth. He and Tigers starter Rick Porcello had the game at 4-4 when the Sox came up for the bottom of the fifth.
In that inning, they had Shane Victorino stealing second and going to third on an error, then scoring on a head-first slide on Dustin Pedroia's sacrifice fly to medium left field.
That run made it 5-4 and you know those Tigers — every run counts against a pitching staff like that.
And it did count. Pedroia's RBI was 5 percent of the Red Sox' total in what turned out to be a 20-4 Boston victory.
"At that point," Farrell said of the sacrifice fly, "you're looking to manufacture a run any way you can. We had no idea what was to take place after that."
What took place was this:
Boston scored eight runs in the sixth, hitting two homers in that inning. The big one was a grand slam by Middlebrooks to make it 10-4. Nava hit the other one, making it 13-4. The Sox sent 11 men to the plate in the inning — three walked, one was hit by a pitch, two doubled, two homered and three struck out.
Sox batters had two more doubles and two more home runs in the seventh. Lavarnway and Ortiz hit the home runs. Napoli hit one in the eighth. Drew hit his in the second, Ellsbury hit his in the third and Ortiz hit his first home run in the fourth inning.
Red Sox batters combined for 19 hits in all as the Sox finished this nine game homestand with a 7-2 record.
The 20 runs were the most for a Boston team since the Sox beat the Marlins here, 25-8, on June 27, 2003. The 16-run margin of victory was the largest for the Red Sox since they crushed the Yankees, 17-1, on July 15, 2005.
Every Red Sox starter save for Pedroia had at least one hit, and Quintin Berry, who pinch run for Victorino, was 2 for 2. Nava had two hits, Napoli had two hits, Drew had two hits, Lavarnway — also a late-inning replacement — had two hits and both Ortiz and Middlebrooks had three hits.
"Given the circumstances when he hit it, I think Middlebrooks' was the biggest home run of the game," Farrell said, adding, "I don't think I've ever been part of a game where so many balls left the ballpark."

Jens Pulver to Take One More Kick at the Cat December 11 When He Competes in Minnesota
(Video courtesy YouTube/gregorybayne)
It looks like Jens Pulver has effectively answered the collective throng of reporters and fans who have been incessantly asking the former UFC lightweight champion if he will fight again by signing with the upstart CFX/Extreme Challenge promotion in Minnesota for one fight.
Pulver (22-14-1), who hasn't won since 2007 when he defeated Cub Swanson at WEC 31, will take on Frank Johnson (8-4) December 11 at Target Center in Minneapolis.
According to promoter Gavin Rydell, Pulver is looking to rejuvenate his career by picking up his first win in more than six fights by beating the West St. Paul, Mn. native, Johnson.
"We're really excited to have him up here fighting in Minneapolis," Rydell said. "He's obviously a legend, one of the best ever. We're honored to be able to see him fight here in Minnesota. It's not every day that a UFC champion fights here. Jens wants to keep fighting, but he knows he needs a couple of wins to keep doing that. He hopes to start that here in Minnesota."Read More DIGG THIS

I'll be frank: I was hoping to duck G.I. Joe: Retaliation entirely. Yes, I'm Team Tatum. I'm with Sean on rooting for the Rock to save everything. And of course, I love me some Bruce Willis. But all I remember from the first movie was that (spoiler alert for G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra) Joseph Gordon Levitt becomes Cobra Commander, France gets devastated by Joe's in robo suits, and that I was equal parts bored and baffled watching it. So, when I attended an advance screening for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, my expectations were pretty low. Guys, I was in no way prepared for the insanity and awesomeness that played out before my very eyes over the next 110 minutes.
WARNING: spoilers below.
As someone who spent her childhood favoring Princess of Power She-Ra and the truly outrageous Jem over G.I. Joes, I worried my lack of familiarity with them could be a problem.
Things begin with a bang! Or to be more specific, an expertly executed G.I. Joe mission that introduces us to our heroes and director Jon M. Chu's high-energy action style. A quick but efficient intro tells me all I need to know to go on this ride. Game on.
Channing Tatum + The Rock = The perfect blend of machismo and self-mocking humor. If we could bottle the pair's dynamic chemistry, I'm confident we could power the entire country for at least five years.
To avoid spoilers, allow me to say just this: NOOOOOOOOOOO! I should have seen that coming. But still, guys, I'm hurting.
A jail so deep in the earth that it is in International Territory, plus a warden whose a douchebag in the vein of 1980s Gordon Gekko equals shit's about to get real. Let's do this!
To the filmmakers of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, that was all kinds of awesome. But I want to thank you in particular for the nonsensical but totally enjoyable shirt explosion Storm Shadow's ninja muscles cause. Everyone else: Byung-hun Lee deserves a Hollywood actioner of his own. Let's work on collectively willing that into existence.
Ray Stevenson as Firefly, you complete me. And let it be known, no one zings like Jonathan Price zings: "Firefly, it's good to know we're not running low on crazy."

Python Introduction #2
Hey Hey Everyone,
Here's another one of these.... I'm not sure how long this will be but I'll attempt a few more tricks and such in it.
This tutorial will assume you have already read my first Python Tutorial (Python Introduction).
I'm not real sure yet what I'm going to cover, I figure I'll pick at these for a couple of days and post it at the end of the weekend. Unless I get really ambitious tonight.
Before I get into some examples, I'm going to include a few charts

not Logical Negation
and Logical And
is, is not, in, not in Comparison
Now for some examples..
Let's start with the while statement.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Open your favourite editor (Vi, Pico, Notepad, Wordpad, Textpad, DOS Edit).
2. Type3. Save the script as numberguess.pyCode:from random import * answer = randint(1,25) guess = 0 counter = 0 print "Welcome to the Number Guessing Game" while guess != answer : guess = input("Please Guess a Number between 1 and 25: ") if guess < answer : print "To low." elif guess > answer : print "To high." counter = counter + 1 print "Congrats you guessed the correct number (",answer,") in",counter,"tries."
4. Open a command prompt and type python numberguess.py
5. You will see Welcome to the Number Guessing Game, followed by a new line which states Please Guess a Number between 1 and 25. I can't walk you though this, since it uses a random number but as you guess you will see To low. or To high. Until you guess the correct number, when it will then display Congrats you guessed the correct number ( <number> ) in <tries> tries.
This program incorporates a lot of firsts. We've made use of the Random module which allows us to call the command randint(bottom number, top number) to randomly generate an integer. We've created a few additional variables to store values and entered into a While Statement. This is also the first time we've looked at white space. Python makes use of white space quite frequently. As you notice there is no End while or End if statements, instead the tabs (white space) tell the interpreter where each statement ends.
The while statement follows the format while <condition> : <code>.
This next example will be relatively small as I just want to introduce the for statement and nothing else.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Open your favourite editor (Vi, Pico, Notepad, Wordpad, Textpad, DOS Edit).
2. Type3. Save the script as powers.pyCode:print "This program will list the first 10 powers of a number." usednum = input("Enter the number to use: ") for x in range(10) : print usednum, "^", x, "=", usednum ** x
4. Open a command prompt and type python powers.py
5. You will see This program will list the first 10 powers of a number.. Followed by Enter the number to use: . For this example, enter the number 2 and press enter. You will then see.
2 ^ 0 = 1
2 ^ 1 = 2
2 ^ 2 = 4
2 ^ 3 = 8
2 ^ 4 = 16
2 ^ 5 = 32
2 ^ 6 = 64
2 ^ 7 = 128
2 ^ 8 = 256
2 ^ 9 = 512
This for statement uses and undeclared variable (which initializes to 0) and then cycles threw 10 times, leaving us with a last value of 9. Each time threw the cycle it prints the resulting power.
Many of you who have used C/C++ in the past have probably noticed a few similarities and this is because they exist. I have already shown you the print statement, but I will now show you another way to accomplish the same thing that is closer to the way C/C++ works.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Open your favourite editor (Vi, Pico, Notepad, Wordpad, Textpad, DOS Edit).
2. Type3. Save the script as print.pyCode:name = raw_input("What is your name: ") print "Your name is %s?" % name
4. Open a command prompt and type python print.py
5. You will see a prompt which reads What is your name: . After Entering your name and pressing enter. You will see Your Name is <name>?.
This is a great method for joining text and variables because it doesn't add a single space like the comma did in past print statements.
That's all for this tut. people. Stay tuned for the next edition which will focus on executing system files, reading and writing text files and error handling.

Letter of the week
Letter of the week is one of my more popular features on No Time For Flash Cards, we have multiple uppercase crafts for each letter and most lowercase as well. I am often asked if you should follow an order when introducing letters to your child. Some will say yes, others will say no. I am sorta in the middle. Here is why... my goal with letter of the week is to introduce the letter, that's it. I don't spend all week focusing only on it, it's simply the focus of one craft every week. There have been debate and studies done about the ineffectiveness of focusing only on one letter the entire week so I choose to continue focusing on all letters, after the one craft. If you choose to follow up with crafts or activities with the letter focus, choose ones your child relates to so the connections come naturally.
Children learn in context, they learn by authentic experiences and if we single out only one letter the entire week not only is that an artificial environment we are probably missing out on some lessons about other letters that could be coming up throughout the week. This is also why I include books with my crafts so that your child can make connections from reading, listening and doing the crafts and other activities. Children learn in so many ways if we offer diverse experiences they are more likely to not only hold onto the knowledge but also thirst for it.

6 must-see European destinations this summer
With its great cities, rich museums and small, hilltop towns, Europe will always hold an allure for Canadians. But it can be expensive given our suffering loonie. It also can get mighty crowded in summer. So here are some ideas for visiting both well-known and less-visited destinations in Europe this year.
MANCHESTER This city has undergone an amazing transformation, with awesome galleries, cool public spaces and lovely restaurants set among handsome, historic buildings from an age when that sort of thing mattered. Liverpool and London get a lot more attention, but that makes Manchester more affordable, and arguably more interesting. Stroll through the Northern Quarter, where you'll find trendy clothing stores, chic bars and lively restaurants such as Evelyn's Café, which does a great job of mixing continental favourites with Asian ingredients and spices. The John Rylands Library has one of the most stunning interiors of any public space in Britain. No trip to England is complete without a great pub, so check out The Britons Protection on Great Bridgewater Street. The Midland Hotel feels like the British equivalent of Toronto's Royal York, with great history and solid style. https://www.qhotels.co.uk/our-locations/the-midland-manchester/
LJUBLJANA The capital of Slovenia is getting a fair chunk of tourists these days, thanks to the fact that Melania Trump grew up near the city. Politics and celebrities aside, it's a fantastic little city that feels a bit like Salzburg without the Mozart chocolates and Mozart everything else. There's a pretty river running through the city centre, lined with Easter egg colour churches and buildings. You'll also find lovely markets, a hilltop castle and local shops selling Slovenian salts and lovely, rich red wines. Take a day trip to nearby Lake Bled, a fairy tale body of water with a castle rising over it and a church built on a small island. Be sure to get one of the famous, decadent Lake Bled crème cakes while you're there.
PORTUGAL Yes, they use the Euro. But prices are still way cheaper here than in many bigger European cities. My wife and two friends of ours and I dined at a lively sidewalk café in the city centre of Lisbon last September for about $50, including a bottle of wine and four servings of fresh, tasty fish. You can often find accommodation near the beaches of the Algarve for a song if you go in September, after most tourists have fled back to England. There's tremendous hiking along seaside cliffs near the small village of Burgau, in the western part of the Algarve. Train travel in the country also is cheap, and you can get a bottle of excellent Portuguese wine at the store for CDN$7 or $8.
ITALY The big cities can be expensive, but you can get around that by trying a nice European hostel or going the AirBnB route. You also can stay in smaller cities or villages for a lot less. Instead of Tuscany, try the nearby region of Emilia-Romagna, home to wonderful cities such as Bologna and fairy tale hill top town such as San Leo and Verucchio. Modena is famous for its balsamic vinegar, while Bologna is the home to rich, flavourful Spaghetti Bolognese. This area also is home to Ferrari, and there are several places you can go to check out some of the world's best- and fastest – cars. Remember that half of Italy takes vacation in August, so things will be crazy. Try July instead. Or go in May or even October, when the Mediterranean is still warm and when it's still shirtsleeve weather for most Canadians, at least in the south.
MUNICH You've no doubt heard of Oktoberfest. There's also a spring beer festival that runs after Easter. "It's much more relaxed," my tour guide told me last year. "But the beer is the same and you have the same big tents." This year's festival runs from April 21 to May 7 and also features rides and live music. Save money by trying a grilled bratwurst from one of the stalls at the Viktualienmarkt in the beautiful, historic city centre, then wander about and admire the classic architecture. For a quiet break from the city, check out the historic estate Nymph Schloss, with gorgeous gardens and quiet walking paths. You can even go surfing in this inland city, thanks to the continuous "wave" that forms in the Eisbach, a small channel of the Isar River in the city's large, central park. (It's similar to what some folks do on the St. Lawrence River in Montreal.) Try the sleek, trendy Aloft Hotel across from the main train station. http://www.aloftmunichhotel.com/en
CORSICA This is definitely not your mainstream tourist destination in Europe. An island that's part of France, Corsica features fantastic hilltop villages, gorgeous sea coasts and magnificent roads for driving. The main city of Ajaccio is not the best part of Corsica but it has its charms, including a little train that chugs through town and tons of Napoleon memorabilia, the little guy being from this part of France. Take a boat ride out of Bonifacio and admire the homes and buildings built on top of towering cliffs that appear to blend in with the golden rock. Foodies will find remarkably good seafood and wonderful cheeses and meats. The island has magnificent beaches and a long, rocky coastline for great Instagram photos.

If you have a Zeppelin, we hope that you are already enjoying the fantastic sound that it offers. But as is always the way with hi-fi, if you put a bit of thought into placement the resulting performance will improve. Small things can make a big difference in audio.
For starters, the more solid a platform you can sit your Zeppelin on the better. We're not saying it has to be on a dedicated hi-fi rack, necessarily, but as solid a base as you can manage is a good idea. It will pay dividends with the sound.
Also, think about space. As is the case with most hi-fi speakers, a little bit of breathing room does wonders for the sound. In the case of Zeppelin the subwoofer and flowport technology perform better with a little bit of space to 'breath'. But, as always with hi-fi, a little experimentation will allow you to get the best possible sound for your own taste and the room in which you have the system.
Also, while Zeppelin has what can comfortably be described as a 'room filling sound', traditional hi-fi values can help when it comes to where you place the Zeppelin for listening. If you want a high-quality stereo image – where all the musicians appear in the areas of the soundstage where the producer intended them to be, then try placing the Zeppelin directly in front of your favourite listening position – this will work especially well if you decide to use you Zeppelin to boost the sound of your television as well as an iPod speaker.
There's also an optional Zeppelin wall-bracket. This allows you to free up some valuable shelf space, and also makes it easy to position your Zeppelin below a wall-mounted flatscreen television.
Further adjustments can also be made by using the menu system that pops up on your iPod screen when attached to Zeppelin. A new menu option called 'speakers' appears, and from here you can adjust the bass output of Zeppelin to suit your taste. Try it, and see what works for you.

STOCKTON - The city's point person with the unenviable job of luring businesses to a bankrupt town has tendered her resignation so she can take a new position in Sacramento.
STOCKTON - The city's point person with the unenviable job of luring businesses to a bankrupt town has tendered her resignation so she can take a new position in Sacramento.
Wendy Saunders for more than a year and a half has served as director of Stockton's Economic Development Department. She will log her last day in City Hall next week.
Her departure is seen by one city leader as symptomatic of Stockton's challenge attracting and retaining highly qualified employees because of cuts to pay and benefits.
A Sacramento resident, Saunders will next work as executive director of the Capitol Area Development Authority, a partnership between the state and city of Sacramento, leading smart growth projects around the Capitol.
"I've been offered a great job," Saunders said. "I'm really excited about it."
She said it was a hard decision to leave her colleagues and Stockton challenges, but she will also leave behind her daily commute and the threat from Wall Street creditors to take away retirement pensions of city employees.
She has also spent a large amount of time in Stockton leading the highly bureaucratic effort to unwind the city's Redevelopment Agency, a defunct arm of government that officials for years used to spruce up blighted corners of town.
"It's certainly more fun to build things than to take things apart," said Saunders, adding that she's proud of having attracted a number of businesses to Stockton even in tough times.
Councilwoman Kathy Miller said Saunders' energy and smarts will be missed. Miller fears that the constant pressure to rein in salaries for city staff will make it hard to hire people with Saunders' expertise.
Saunders, who in 2012 took home $160,321 in gross pay, was hired by City Manager Bob Deis to be part of his administrative team.
"I don't think we can continue cutting our compensation packages unless we're willing to experience runoff again of experienced employees," Miller said. "It's not something we're making up out of thin air."

Manchester Water Works to sell acreage; towns to lose revenueBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
August 24. 2013 11:07PM
Two nonprofits are finalists for buying 7,200 acres of Manchester Water Works land in four area towns, meaning less property tax money for them but more money for Water Works to replace aging water mains.
At stake is more than $780,000 in collective tax payments paid to Auburn, Hooksett, Candia and Chester.
The town of Auburn could see a net loss of about $600,000 a year - enough to fund the fire department, the library and the parks and recreation department. It also represents about $1 on Auburn's tax rate, or about $350 a year for a home assessed at $350,000, according to Town Administrator Bill Herman.
"Any tax exemption or loss of revenue, every dollar one taxpayer saves, the other taxpayers make up for," Herman said last week. "The voters of Auburn have to make a choice to reduce expenditures by that amount of money or the other taxpayers in Auburn make up the difference in their tax bills."
Manchester Water Works paid Auburn a negotiated $670,000 payment last year for about 4,000 acres it owns in town, land used as a buffer to protect the water supply.
Herman said he would expect a nonprofit to pay at least some tax money even with its land in current use, which bases a tax bill not on its real estate market value but on its income-producing capability as if used solely for growing forest or agricultural crops.
"On average, current use is about 10 percent of what a normal tax bill would be," Herman said.
Both finalists - the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests and the Southeast Land Trust of New Hampshire - plan to put the land in current use.
"They seem the best fits ... and have the ability to get this done," said Guy Chabot, deputy director for distribution at Manchester Water Works.
Chabot said officials hope to select one by year's end.
Duane Hyde, the land trust's land protection director, said he would like to work with Manchester Water Works to help the affected towns deal with the expected drop in tax revenue.
"You could phase the project, reach out to the communities and meet with them and find a way to structure the project, so they don't get an instantaneous fiscal impact," Hyde said.
On the flip side, Manchester Water Works, a city department, plans to use its tax savings to replace aging infrastructure. An extra $600,000 would allow for the replacement of 4,000 feet of water main, Chabot said.
"We've got old infrastructure," he said. "Like everyone else, we're trying to stay ahead of the curve."
Water Works serves customers in parts of Manchester, Londonderry, Goffstown, Hooksett, Bedford and Auburn. It also sells water to Pennichuck and to Derry.
For the first half of 2013, Water Works paid Auburn $340,287, Hooksett $28,252, Candia $21,791 and Chester $1,525 for property it now plans to sell, according to Chabot. The tax rates haven't been set in those towns for the second-half bills. Chabot said its overall Hooksett tax bill was a few thousand dollars higher, but Water Works expects to retain some property there, so the $28,252 represents land included in the sale.
Water Works officials eliminated two potential buyers, the Bear-Paw Regional Greenways, a land trust in Deerfield, and Green Crow, a for-profit company based in Washington state with an office in Auburn.
Chabot said the sale probably wouldn't have happened had the Legislature last year passed Senate Bill 337. That bill would have allowed Water Works to place the land in current use, substantially cutting its tax obligation.
Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester, one of the bill's sponsors, said the legislation got sent to study and "is pretty much a dead issue."
"I think people felt losing that amount of money would hurt" the other communities, he said.
D'Allesandro pointed out a similar situation, where Keene pays property taxes to Roxbury, a sum making up a third or more of that town's budget.
Keene paid more than $74,000 in property taxes to Roxbury last year for its ownership of 2,323 acres that includes watershed and reservoirs, according to Donna Hanscom, Keene's assistant public works director.
"It is funded by water users through the water rate charges," she said.
D'Allesandro said cutting the tax bill for Water Works would hurt the towns, but said water customers must foot the tax bills through their water rates.
Herman said Manchester Water Works and Auburn have battled in the courts for years over possible tax breaks, and the two entities eventually agreed on a payment instead of taxes, which last year amounted to $670,000, roughly 13 percent of Auburn's budget. Full-market value would have pushed the tax bill to around $825,000, he said.
For the proposed sale, both nonprofits are relying on securing a $2.2 million grant from the state Department of Environmental Services' Water Supply Land Protection Grant Program to pay for the purchase.
The Forest Society has offered $2.2 million for the land, minus certain expenses. The land trust raised its bid from $1.26 million to $2.45 million, Hyde said.
Forest Society spokesman Jack Savage said his nonprofit would love to own the property, but could do it only if it qualified for current use.
"We're not in a position to pay a large tax bill either, quite frankly," he said.

This post has been corrected, as indicated below
There's nothing sentimental or soft about Gotham City, and that seems to suit Christopher Nolan just fine. The 41-year-old filmmaker fills the screen with grim architecture, hard-luck faces and gun-metal hues; tricks of the mind are his narrative specialty, not affairs of the heart. Still, last Thursday, eating his dinner standing up in a movie theater lobby, Nolan confessed that even he got a bit misty during the final shooting days of "The Dark Knight Rises," which is (by all appearances) his final visit to the world of Batman.
"I tend not to be too emotional on the set, I find that doesn't help me do my job," the writer-director said between bites. "But you definitely get a little lump in your throat thinking that, 'OK, this is going to be the last time we're going to be doing this.' It's been quite a journey. Hopefully, reflecting that journey — by all of us who made the films — in the three films together will make it so they have a real span to them, some real heft."
Principal photography on "The Dark Knight Rises" was completed in mid-November after an intense six-month shoot that took Nolan and his veteran crew to India, Scotland and the United States as well as Cardington, England, their home base, where Gotham landmarks are set up inside a massive and moldy, old zeppelin hangar. The movie hits theaters on July 20 but, of course, Nolan is far from finished. He took a break from the editing room last week only to show seven minutes of "Rises" footage to journalists and bloggers; it's the same seven-minute preview that, starting this Friday, moviegoers will be able to see as a special trailer before screenings of "Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol" at select IMAX theaters.
For a vast tribe of movie fans, the taciturn Nolan is a figure of fascination and there's a massive amount of interest in the finale of his Gotham trilogy, which so far has made $1.4 billion in worldwide box office, broke records in home video and generated hundreds of millions more in merchandise and licensing deals. Amateur and professional photographers dogged the "Rises" production across the globe and every week brought new rumors about the film's plot, characters, vehicles or costumes. Nolan doesn't spend much time surfing the Internet (this is the guy who doesn't have a cellphone or email account), but at a small reception after the Universal City press screening he said he welcomes the Bat-mania for what it represents.
"It's terrific, to have people that interested in something. It reminds you that it is a real honor to work on something that means so much to people," Nolan said. "I'd love to be able to claim that I invented the whole thing and that's why they're interested. I did not. I've been given a very precious thing to do my best with, to look after and not to let people down. There's a certain amount of fear that comes with it and intimidation but it's also a great privilege. [As for the fans], they want it to be great, they want to go enjoy it and they're fascinated by it. You know, there's always controversy regarding things that people will disagree with but hopefully they appreciate the effort of trying to make something good."
That effort to be good brings back newly minted Oscar winner Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne and a supporting cast with Michael Caine, Marion Cotillard, Anne Hathaway, Morgan Freeman — all Academy Award winners or nominees — and Gary Oldman who may soon be one. The screenplay, written by Nolan and his brother, Jonathan Nolan, is based on a story concept by the director and David S. Goyer, and it starts eight years after the final scene in 2008's "The Dark Knight." Bale has already confirmed that this is his last time in the cape and, because of the film's tag line, "The legend ends," many fans are wondering if this movie will dare the unthinkable and actually kill off the caped crusader.
The preview trailer on "Ghost Protocol" will, no doubt, mark the beginning of a larger, intensified fan conversation about the movie. Warner Bros., which has already said goodbye to Hogwarts and "Harry Potter" this year, will try to fuel that fire and all of Hollywood is worried about the seasons ahead; it's been a blue Christmas so far for the industry — the domestic box office for all releases this past weekend was $78 million, the lowest total since September 2008 — and it's revealing that in the eyes of many fans the biggest movie event of this holiday season is the seven-minute preamble to a film that won't reach theaters for another six months.
Nolan thinks big and IMAX is a part of that. The filmmaker loves IMAX and views it — and not stereoscopic 3D — as today's best approach to cinema spectacle and, as he put it last Thursday, the "grandeur of the movies." He and his Oscar-winning cinematographer, Wally Pfister, again put up with the bulky, noisy IMAX cameras for some of the big action sequences in this third Batman film and Nolan said that if the edit of "Rises" goes as he expects, about 45 to 50 minutes of the finished film will have been shot with IMAX cameras.
That's about twice as much IMAX footage as the last Batman film, "The Dark Knight," the highest-grossing film of 2008. It was four years ago this month that Nolan hosted a similar preview of "The Dark Knight" and showed the opening sequence of that film, the bank heist that introduced the world to Heath Ledger's bold and searing take on the Joker. (That opening sequence was then shown, as a trailer, to moviegoers who saw "I Am Legend" at IMAX theaters.) This new "Rises" preview footage has some of the same rhythms of that now famous robbery scene from the second movie; both play with the ideas of masks and identity, both present modern takes on the classic double-cross and, most of all, they show villains with a flair for mind-blowing exit strategies.
The "Rises" opening sequence takes place mostly in the air; it shows hooded prisoners being transported on a CIA plane and it reveals that this film's evil mastermind, Bane, played by Tom Hardy, is not to be underestimated no matter the setting or situation. The sequence required some intense aerial work for Nolan and company and, as always, the director's emphasis was on in-camera effects and stunt work as opposed to the pixelated painting that is the norm in today's computer-generated Hollywood.
"We had a lot of fun on it," Nolan said. "It was a tricky sequence to shoot but a lot of very talented people worked very hard on it. And I'm thrilled with the result. We shot it in Scotland. We braved the weather — it rains all the time there, a terrible place to do an aerial sequence, which is why no one has sort of done it before. You usually wind up in the desert or something for very practical reasons. But it really came off. We got very lucky with the weather and a lot of good planning went into it. I think it had a very unique look."
(It certainly had a unique sound — Hardy, behind his mask, was difficult to understand for many of the people at the press preview. It will be interesting to see how that changes between now and next summer's delivery of the film. Nolan and his team can certainly play with the sound and recorded dialogue to clear up the metallic muddle.)
With Bane — a brawny, brutal genius with a fearsome masked visage — Nolan surprised many observers because in his previous films he veered toward the more time-tested end of Batman's rogues gallery (in the pages of DC Comics, the Joker, Two-Face and Scarecrow all date to the early 1940s, as does Catwoman, who will be a supporting character and played by Hathaway in this new film). Bane, however, first appeared in the comics in 1993 as the creation of Chuck Dixon, Doug Moench and Graham Nolan (no relation to the filmmaker). The director said it was Goyer who provided him with a four-color education in Bane.
"I didn't know him very well," Nolan said. "David Goyer got me a bunch of stuff on him and we looked into him. I only knew him by name, I wasn't familiar with his back story. He's a very cool character. And getting an actor like Tom to take it on, you know you're going to get something very special. Tom is somebody who really knows how to put character into every gesture, every aspect of his physicality in the way that great actors can. He's a very, very physical actor. He transforms himself and it's there in every movement. He's not afraid to look at a character from the outside as well as the inside so there's a deep psychological branch to the character but also a very, very specific awareness of how he's going to use his body and his appearance to express that character too. Christian is like that too, very much."
The big question: Will Bruce Wayne still be wearing the mask and cape of Batman at the end of the film? In the pages of DC Comics, in the landmark 1993-94 arc called "Knightfall," the brutal and canny Bane waited for the hero to be at his weakest point in body and spirit before delivering a (literally) crippling blow. In that story, Batman's snapped spine left him looking for a replacement; that and the fact that the new film has "Rise" in the title has stirred plenty of speculation (not unlike Alan Moore's "V for Vendetta" epic or Lee Falk's classic mythology for "The Phantom") that a next-generation newcomer might inherit Wayne's mask and the mission.
The addition of "Inception" co-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt to the Gotham City cast as a young cop named John Blake certainly opens up some possible opportunities for a Batcave inheritance. N0lan is fine with all guessing games — again, it speaks to the fan passion — but don't expect the cryptic filmmaker to offer any hints. He does say that he was searching for a story that would deliver a true finale and close out the trilogy in a powerful and definitive way. He also said that Bane will test the bone and muscle of Wayne with unprecedented savagery.
"With Bane, the physicality is the thing," Nolan said. "With a good villain you need an archetype, you know, you need the extreme of some type of villainy. The Joker is obviously a particular archetype of diabolical, chaotic anarchy and has a devilish sense of humor. Bane, to me, is something we haven't dealt with in the films. We wanted to do something very different in this film. He's a primarily physical villain, he's a classic movie monster in a way — but with a terrific brain. I think he's a fascinating character. I think people are going to get a kick out of what we've done with him."
As for moving the action ahead eight years, Nolan said that it was a way to give true gravity to the events that were portrayed at the end of "The Dark Knight," when Batman essentially took the blame for the crimes of Harvey Dent and became a fugitive from justice instead of a tacitly approved vigilante.
"It will make a lot more sense to people when they see the film," Nolan said of the leap forward. "But it's not a great mystery — it's the jumping-off point for the film — but it's hard for me to articulate it. I think the mood at the beginning of the film will make a lot of sense. If I had to express it thematically, I think what we're saying is that for Batman and Commissioner Gordon, there's a big sacrifice, a big compromise, at the end of the 'The Dark Knight' and for that to mean something, that sacrifice has to work and Gotham has to get better in a sense. They have to achieve something for the ending of that film — and the feeling at the end of that film — to have validity. Their sacrifice has to have meaning and it takes time to establish that and to show that, and that's the primary reason we did that. It's a time period that is not so far ahead that we would have to do crazy makeup or anything — which I think would be distracting — but it gave them something to get their teeth into, particularly Christian in terms of [portraying] this guy who has been frozen in this moment in time with nowhere to go. He really has done an incredible job figuring out how to characterize that and express that."
The true mystery is what Hollywood will make of Nolan — and vice versa — after he has truly left Gotham behind. Those are questions for another day but for the time being, the filmmaker seems pleased by the rare sensation of a sentimental journey: "It was pretty emotional as we would finish these characters and say goodbye to Alfred for the last time and say goodbye to Commissioner Gordon and eventually, with Christian, fairly close to the end, saying goodbye to Batman … it was a big deal," Nolan said. "And with these newer characters too, finishing with Anne and all these guys. It was quite touching, I must say."

What is a domain?
A domain name is, quite simply, the name of your website. The domain can be found in the URL and is used in order to locate the website of a specific person or organization. Each domain name or URL directs users to a specific IP address. Domains are easier to remember than a long and complicated IP address, which takes the form of a series of numbers. A domain can be divided up into three different elements: a subdomain, a domain name, and a top level domain (TLD). Take about.1and1.com as an example: the 'about' element is the subdomain, the '1and1' element is the domain name itself and the '.com' part of the URL is the top level domain. It is also possible to have multiple subdomain levels, info.about.1and1.com for example, which you can use to segment your website into separate categories. The length limit of a complete domain name is 255 characters. With 1&1, you can choose a domain name that best suits you or your business, or you can transfer an already existing domain over to 1&1. Next, customers can select a TLD from a wide variety of domain extensions on offer. When choosing a domain name, it is important to select something that properly reflects the ethos of your business in a concise and catchy way. A good domain should be memorable, brandable, and should have a suitable extension.

Have you ever experienced any of the following?
Disagreements are bound to happen because parents and children, employees and employers, and couples inevitably have differences in their opinions, values and goals. Many common situations can become sources of disagreements and conflict in personal relationships.
To find solutions to these disagreements, negotiation skills are needed every day at home, at work and in the community. Negotiation means developing an ability to resolve disputes and conflicts. Effective negotiation requires a willingness to work with other people to reach solutions that everyone can live with.
Your personal relationships are often shaped by how well you are able to manage and settle conflicts. If conflict is managed effectively, then a relationship can be maintained. But if conflict is handled poorly, the outcomes may weaken your relations with family, friends and work acquaintances over time.
The following examples illustrate some common situations that can lead to conflict. After a discussion of how to develop successful negotiating skills, this publication concludes with suggestions for resolving the conflicts in these examples.
It's Friday, and Jose' and his mother are arguing once again about the teenager's weekend curfew. Mrs. Santiago has grown increasingly distressed by her son's continuing resistance to the 11 p.m. curfew she has set. Jose' insists that this is unfair. Both become so angry and frustrated that they storm off to separate areas of the house to avoid each other and further conflict.
Lamont has been late for work several times in recent weeks. He has failed to turn in several important project outlines on time without explanation or apology, annoying his employer. Until recently, Lamont's attendance and performance at work had been consistent, motivated, and highly productive. Lamont's recent behavior has been so uncharacteristic that his employer decides to confront him, demanding a meeting the next day.
Diana and James have the "perfect" marriage, two children and a lovely home. Both work in professions that provide personal satisfaction as well as a comfortably secure income. They have "made it." And they are miserable. Work and family roles have left them with little time to spend together and have increased their areas of disagreement. Diana and James have become focused on meeting their own needs with little regard for the needs of the other. Resentment, dissatisfaction and conflict are all they seem to share any longer.
People resolve disagreements in many ways. Some tend to deal with potential conflict by denying it or trying to avoid it altogether. Instead of confronting and resolving problems, people may let their anger and resentment build while they remain silent. This approach can result in constant personal stress, which can lead to illness or poor general health. If disagreements are not resolved, the possibility for more intense conflicts at some later date is increased. Problems seldom improve on their own.
Conflict can involve issues of power and authority. Adults may resort to threats and punishments to solve problems with children. Labor unions may strike and management may respond by laying off workers. These are examples of using power to control, intimidate and force solutions on other people. These forced outcomes only add to the grounds for future conflict.
Conflict can also be motivated by ego. Solutions are selfishly sought with little regard for the other person. The conflict becomes a "win/lose" situation in which one person "wins" at someone else's expense. The one-sidedness of this "solution" increases the odds of more conflict. "Losers" will defy, test, resist and retaliate against the "winners."
Effective negotiation is a two-way process that encourages both sides to actively participate in making decisions. It also provides a way for people to learn to understand each other better and to grow in their relationships. Negotiation helps to create a healthy balance between "giving" and "getting." Everyone becomes a "winner" through negotiation.
The key to effective negotiation is clear communication. Communication involves three important skills: understanding. You can't have one skill work without the others — for example, you can't have good understanding without good listening and speaking. Negotiation is most effective when people are able to clearly identify and discuss their sources of disagreement and misunderstanding.
SpeakingNegotiation begins with a clear, concise explanation of the problem as each person sees it. Facts and feelings are presented in a rational manner from the individual's perspective, using "I" statements. Communication between people will go more smoothly when statements such as "I become very upset when you " are used rather than more aggressive statements such as "You make me mad when you," which blames the other person and puts him or her in a defensive position. Shared concerns rather than individual issues remain the focus of discussion throughout negotiation.
The negotiation process will be most effective when people take time to think through what they will say. When possible, plan ahead to meet at a time and place convenient to everyone. A quiet, neutral spot where there are few distractions or interruptions is perfect for open discussion.
ListeningListening is an active process of concentrating all of one's attention on the other person. Encouraging the other person to share thoughts and feelings, giving feedback on what has been heard, and maintaining eye contact are skills that show you are interested in understanding what he or she has to say. It is always helpful to simply ask, "I understood you to say Am I correct in this?" or "I hear you saying that you are Is that how you feel?" Active listening assures the other person that he or she is heard, accepted and respected. The ability to listen actively supports open, ongoing negotiation.
Thinking ahead or anticipating the course of the discussion are distractions that interfere with listening. Poor attention and listening can lead to misunderstandings, inappropriate solutions and continuing conflict.
UnderstandingBefore two sides can look for solutions, a common understanding must be reached. If two people do not understand each other's problems and concerns, then the process of negotiation will either be broken off or will end with solutions that do not work.
Active listening encourages understanding. It is important to pay close attention to what someone says as well as to how he or she behaves. Body language, including facial expressions, hand gestures and degree of eye contact, can provide clues about the other person's thoughts and feelings. Observations, however, are shaped as much by the observer as by the person being observed. It is good practice never to assume to understand the other person without first asking, "Did I hear you correctly?" or "I have noticed that you appear " or "I sense you are under strain. Do you want to talk about this?" and "I'd like to hear from you about how you are feeling" are all good examples of statements that encourage communication and better understanding between people.
Show respectSuccess rests in accepting the other person despite differences in values, beliefs, educational experiences, ethnic backgrounds or perspectives. Negotiation permits you to examine a problem from all sides, and to promote understanding and interest in the other person without necessarily agreeing to her or his viewpoint. Taking time to listen and to ask questions makes it easier to learn more about someone's perspectives. Considering different perspectives will increase the range and variety of possible solutions. Genuine interest in other people and in their contribution to finding solutions builds trust. Trust provides a foundation for continuing a relationship. A foundation of trust also eases future efforts to solve problems.
Recognize and define the problemEach person begins with a clearly identified statement of what he or she wants and/or needs. Negotiation should identify not only individual concerns, but mutual concerns, perceptions and interests. From this process, a common ground for agreement between the individuals is sought. Selfish issues and goals are eliminated in favor of mutually acceptable goals. Problems are examined apart from the personalities involved. Blaming the other person is inappropriate and destroys the cooperative nature of negotiation.
Seek a variety of solutionsMore information about the problem may be needed before a solution can be decided upon. It may be helpful to examine other sources of information such as books, magazine articles and people who may be familiar with the issue. Outside assistance may help you to overcome your own biases. Mediators can provide impartial assistance with the negotiation process.
Brainstorming is one way to gather many creative ideas rapidly. This process allows everyone to openly make suggestions without fear of criticism. At this stage, every suggestion has value and is accepted. After all suggestions have been shared, they are reviewed to determine whether they might coincide or overlap with each other. Negotiation then becomes a matter of choosing a solution to which no one has an objection. Remember, personal goals should not take priority over shared goals.
CollaborateWorking together doesn't mean "giving up" or "giving in" to another person's demands or goals. Two or more individuals can agree that disagreement exists. However, they can also agree to put aside their anger, frustration, resentment and egos in favor of working together for a solution to a common problem. All negotiated work is completed by consensus. A negotiated solution is reached when everyone has given up something to gain common benefits.
Be reliableIt is important to follow through with negotiated agreements. The very work of negotiation implies a commitment toward whatever outcome has been decided. Developing a "plan of action" that spells out who is going to do what, where, when and how is helpful. This plan is followed for a specified period of time, then evaluated at the end of that time period. It may be necessary to change plans and goals along the way, depending on how well the first draft met the shared needs of the individuals involved. However, the success of any negotiated outcome depends on everyone's fullest cooperation and participation. Individuals become reliable and trustworthy partners as a result.
Preserve the relationshipIn general, people will try to preserve valued relationships. Negotiation is a non-adversarial approach to resolving conflict in those relationships. There are no "good guys," "bad guys," or "winners/losers." Negotiation is based on equality. No one wields more power or control than another. The individual's ideas, attitudes, values and objectives are recognized and respected as legitimate. Solutions are mutually agreed upon.
This section provides suggestions for resolving the conflicts discussed in the three examples at the beginning of this publication.
Effective approach: compromiseMrs. Santiago has retreated to her room to calm down. It is time to discuss the issue of curfew with Jose' directly. She is careful to listen to Jose' and to give him time, attention and respect. He can express feelings without fear that his mother will ignore or reject them. Jose' admits that he had grown frustrated by his mother's seeming lack of respect for him, causing his anger. Mrs. Santiago and Jose' agree to an 11:30 p.m. curfew. Jose' had asked for a midnight curfew, but settles for the additional half hour. Mother and son have found a middle-ground solution that both can live with.
Effective approach: consensusAt the meeting, Lamont explains that he has been caring for his elderly father, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Attempting to maintain a schedule at home and at work has proven difficult. Lamont is concerned that he will lose his job. Lamont's employer reassures him that his job is not in jeopardy. However, alternative and more flexible scheduling must be considered to resolve family-work conflicts. A consensus is sought. The employer values Lamont's training and experience, and Lamont values his job and his employer's understanding. Both are willing to discuss options and to try out alternatives that best serve mutual needs.
Effective approach: mediationIntimate relationships can become battlegrounds of unresolved issues, complaints and unrealistic expectations. Diana and James' marriage is one that is stuck and in serious trouble. They are unable to step back and view their problems rationally. Both have acknowledged their inability to resolve any of the multiple problems facing them. Diana and James decide to seek the assistance of a family mediator.
Licensed family mediators are trained to provide impartial help in defining the problems and to assist in the problem-solving process. Mediators and counselors both provide additional information and resources to individuals in difficult relationships.
Mediation has proven successful in relationships that have repeated difficult-to-solve problems. Diana and James' marital problems are not unusual. For that reason, family mediation services are being used more often as an alternative to counseling and/or legal services. For further information concerning family mediation, see "Resources."
As life becomes more complex and the world more diverse, your ability to use negotiation skills becomes more important. Negotiation requires time and patience. By practicing the negotiation strategies and skills suggested in this publication, you can make conflict resolution a regular part of your approach to managing relationships at home, at work and in the community. Negotiation can serve not only to preserve relationships, but to continually strengthen and improve them.

The United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) designates GM as the highest rating a shooter can achieve. In earning this prestigious classification Duff had to maintain an average above 95% in shooting classification courses, a proven challenge in the shooting sports. 2013 was a record-winning year for Duff, which included top wins in USPSA's Open, Limited and Single Stack National Championships.

"I am honored to have earned the designation of Grand Master with USPSA" said Duff. "This is something I have been working toward my entire shooting career and I've come this far thanks to a lot of hard work and a lot of support," she added. Duff is recognized as one of the most accomplished competition shooters in the world and is setting a new precedent for female shooters across the country.

BiUbe Pure Aquarium
Not everyone has a spare Apple G4 Cube case lying around, so there's the BiUbe Pure Aquarium for those of you who like to keep fish and other aquatic life on their desktop, complete with an advanced LED lighting system that changes light according to day and time...
The biUbe Pure is composed of a 9 gallons acrylic aquarium with a built-in filtration, making this a good option for small space dwellers who want to avoid the maintenance hassle of a full size system (though not as stylish as their Biorb Life aquarium) and/or don't have the space for a full size setup. We grew up tending a 40 gallon system and although our aquarium was a joy to keep, it was a lot of work and we couldn't imagine keeping it now that we live in a small second story apartment.
The "slimline Intelligent LED Light" switches from preset lighting sequences that include "natural gradual sunrise, sunset and blue moonlight", making it a decorative mood lighting system too. For those of you who like sea life instead of freshwater fish, the aquarium can also can be converted for marine life using a conversion kit and tropical heater pack. Otherwise, just add fish, water, plants and decorative feature.
You can purchase the biUbe Pure direct at Everything BioOrb

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombia's military said Monday that it killed at least 20 Revolutionary Armed Forces insurgents in a weekend air raid on a cluster of guerrilla camps in its most deadly attack on the country's main leftist rebel group since March.
President Juan Manuel Santos has refused to honor a unilateral cease-fire declared by the rebels, known by their Spanish initials FARC, when they began formal peace talks with the government in Havana on Nov. 19.
Six bodies were recovered after Sunday's pre-dawn bombardment of the camps in the country's southwestern state of Narino near the Ecuadorean border, said Gen. Leonardo Barrera, head of the army's joint southwestern command.
He said scattered remnants of other rebels were found.
"Also found there were chains where it appears they constantly kept kidnap victims that they must have certainly brought from Ecuador," Barrera said.
The regional army commander, Gen. Jorge Alberto Segura, said about 60 rebels were in the three camps, which were located with the help of local residents.
If the rebel death toll was indeed as high as 20, it would have been the highest for the FARC since 36 rebels were killed in March in the bombing of a rebel camp in Vistahermosa, a traditional insurgent stronghold in the southeastern state of Meta.
As a condition for beginning the first, secret, six-month phase of talks, which ended in August, the FARC agreed to halt all ransom kidnappings.
The rebels had said they no longer held any kidnap victims when peace talks began last month. But last week, they freed four Chinese oil workers whom they had abducted in June 2011.
Analyst Ariel Avila of the Nuevo Arco Iris foundation said he didn't believe Sunday's bombardment would in any way affect the peace talks.
"There's no effect because this is what happens in war. That's the calculus," he said.

A dromedary driving a van at high speed to escape from a crazy gardener armed with a chain-saw is everyday stuff in Clint City. Jean just shouldn't have gone trampling on gardener Hilly Billy's roses if he'd wanted to avoid unleashing the fury of the Berzerk clan! And if Harvey hadn't been so quick to stop the car-chase, it would have caused so much damage that even Daussone would have found it hard getting Clint City back on its feet again…
Get these characters in the shop's packs
5 new missions have been added.
Click here to see the list of Newblood missions.
I think all of these cards will see use except for maybe daussone(although he can be a useful cheap card or for a lifegain mission). Harvey isn't quite as good as coby(though some players could argue), but he should make a cheaper substitute. Jean is interesting. His 8 power is great for a 2*, and Jean's bonus will help Jean's damage. To top it off, he has SOA, so Jean can really hurt your opponent. I think this card is very good since people think wakai is good. Maybe no attack manip, but an exceptional card. Hilly Billy seemed like a good ELO card. Win with him in ELO and your life goes down to 2. Yikes. Ko with just about any 2*. Dangerous when paired with Lehane(assuming a sent/berzerk split). If he's in a deck with spyke, it could be dangerous.
Hunterrrrrrr Titan TrAitorzZz Friday 27/07/2012, 17:56
The missions are for me indeed a way UR keeps me playing, but if I am also forced to buy new cards in the most expensive time then I'll pass. And as long as I cannot even do all the missions anymore (so far I completed all Ld missions) then I can never get on top anymore. You can only get on top by completing all missions.
I agree with a lot of you that this is just bonus content, but I happen to like the bonus (playing missions) and now UR makes it more difficult or hard for me.
I understand I could also lend the cards of players to unlock missions. If that is the case then why not unlock them by default???
So UR forces me to either buy expensive cards or go asking and begging with all my UR-friends if I can lend the cards and that every two weeks.
Also going on a vacation for more then two weeks will prevent me from completing all missions.
8BA-LoA Titan Legends of America Friday 27/07/2012, 21:52
Not a fan of the new blood missions. At least the 2 weeks part. Part of what keeps me coming back is being a completionist with the missions. If I start routinely missing them, I'm just not going to care anymore.
Tanto89 Titan X. LycurguS .X Saturday 28/07/2012, 02:23
Hmm.. 2 good cards, 2 OK
Daussone is an OK card
main reason I don't like it since rescue got a lot of + life card already (anita, suie, aurora, nancy). the deck would suffer from lack of damage if they bring daussone anita suzie and aurora / nancy.
however he can do 6 life gap, that is BIG for a 3 stars, so he is welcomed in any budget deck or any rescue deck who needs every bit of life gap they could find
this card adds noob-ness feel into rescue one hit from him and 6 life gap.
harvey: harvey dent aka two face from batman
very standard card, personally I don't like him
he needs his ability to be good. the last thing you would expect from a 4 stars
4 stars should have good basic stats, it should not be shaky.
there are so many unusable 6/6 out there, and 6/5 is not acceptable in my book (even though he can be 8/7)
he needs to be 8/7 to be good. however when you try to get his ability, your card (harvey) is on the plain sight,
use SOA against him and this card is tamy
you cannot do sneak attack with 6/5, that's why I don't like this card
I won't say this card is better than kamakura, but sentinel users have some options, such as jackson, coby, or sentinel 5 stars
Tanto89 Titan X. LycurguS .X Saturday 28/07/2012, 02:37
Hilly billy: wow, this card is dangerous, 12 life gap in ELO, 10 life gap in normal mode
very2 dangerous card. this card would punish any deck with low damage
add DR or defeat life and you can use this card on round 3 or 4 (or round 1 with 12 pillz lol..)
competition wise, he do get so many competitors
lizy for more power, taylor for SOB, cortez the legendary 8/8
I think hilly billy does not replace any of these. it depends on your play style.
Jean: hmm..
he is a nice defending card, very solid kinda lack of damage
he reminds me of graff. this card is used for defending
this card is good in Jungo, Jungo lack of defending capability
most of jungo cards are very offensive (except pegh and mindy, even niva is usually used for attacking purpose)
8/1 SOA looks nice he could be a good candidate for second or third spot in Jungo (pegh is first, then mindy or jean personally I would go for mindy since I prefer pillz drainer)
subclavianHoA Imperator Saturday 28/07/2012, 08:53

People need to stop complaining about people having an opinion!
Sicba Titan Open Casket Saturday 28/07/2012, 15:16
Overall an OK release, I dont see what you people see in Hilly Billy, hes, IMO, 3rd star of this realease, after Jean and Harvey, close to Daussone, but ok. BUT, the main question of this release is: Where is the love for Frozn?
