[[Winner!!!]] CONTEST! Name The Paper, Win Fabulous Prizes!!

(Subtitle:  Wherein I hold a contest with lots of disclaimers and explanations in parentheses.)

I'm trying to get the newspaper of Ur up and running again.  The paper was previously named "Ur Weekly" but I have come to realize that publishing weekly might be too lofty a goal.  And who wants to be hemmed in to a time frame anyway?  Maybe we'll want to publish every 13th day, and then the name won't fit.

Hence, a contest to name the paper of Ur.  This contest will run until Thursday at 5pm, PST.  I'll take the suggestions to the newspaper group for a vote and will decide the winner.  (Feel free to join the group if you are interested in contributing!)

The fabulous prizes, in no particular order:

1.  A Focusing Orb, freshly sprung from its trap in the ancestral lands (guaranteed to work as well as a brand-new one or your money back!  Oh.  Wait.)
2.  The satisfaction of seeing your suggestion on the header of the paper!  And a whole group named the same!
3.  One full (5/5) jar of Extremely Hallowed Shrine Powder!  That's right - TRIPLY (is that a word?) impress your favorite Giant with that diamond!
4.  5 Quick-Pick (random pick) tickets for the Giants Lottery of Greater Ur!  (Rules and conditions may apply.  Please see this thread for details.  You will receive your tickets by Morning O'Clock PST on Friday in time for the drawing at 2pm.  Please note that the Lotterer claims terrible odds, but what do you care?  It's free if you win this contest.  However, you are responsible for checking the results and submitting the ticket if it is a winner.)
5.  5 extra trades with Rube!  (Just kidding.  I can't actually swing that.  How about some Rubeweed instead?  That stuff is awesome.  Thanks TK-855 for the suggestion.  Just how MUCH Rubeweed will be a SURPRISE.)

Post your suggestions here!

UPDATE:  We have a winner!!!  I chose ImaginatUr by @MaryLiLamb.  Congrats!!  Will get your prizes in the mail within the hour :-)

Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone!  It was very hard to choose.  I hope you all love the new newspaper!
