ICB Tankers Deal Boosts Weeks' Ship Sales
Greek shipowner John Angel-icoussis' acquisition of four ICB tankers last week was the highlight of a busier market, Allied Shipbroking Inc. said in its latest ship sales report. Angelicoussis paid $189 million in total for the Mindoro (1995-built, 300,294-deadweight tons), the Irian (1992, 286,006-dwt), the Ambon (1992, 285,771-dwt) and the Flores (1995, 284,410-dwt). Aegean Marine Petroleum, also of Greece, paid $2.5 million to buy the 1976 Norwegian-built tanker Maersk Ascension (60,810-dwt). Italian buyers also picked up two tankers last week. Gemarfin paid $8.75 million for the 1982 Japanese-built Meandros (40,632-dwt) while unknown Italian buyers paid $480,000 at an auction in the U.S. for the 1977 Italian-constructed Campo Duran (30,572-dwt). Other tankers sold last week were the 1993 South Korean-built Nathalie SIF (9,176-dwt) by Ramona of Sweden for $14 million and the 1970 British-constructed Stella Orion (5,093-dwt) taken by unknown buyers at an auction for $290,000. Two gas tankers were also sold last week, according to the Greek broker. Olympi of Chile purchased the 1968 French-built Mundogas Europe for $4 million including three years time charter at $9,000 a day, and MC Shipping based in Monaco bought the 1990 Japanese-built Leo Gas (4,316-dwt) for $4.8 million. Greek shipowners also bought heavily last week into bulk carriers, acquiring four of the six vessels sold.

19th Century Vernacular Portraits
Fruitlands holds one of the largest collections of vernacular portraits in the country. During the nineteenth century, New Englanders became increasingly interested in the concept of self representation through art.
In Boston, parlor walls on Beacon Hill were adorned with the personal portraits of wealthy Bostonians, painted by renowned portrait artist John Singleton Copley. Hoping to capitalize on this interest, New England soon saw a rise in itinerant painters with no formal artistic training who traveled from town to town painting affordable likenesses of rural New Englanders. These primitive, or vernacular, portraits often contain symbolic clues and insights into the daily lives, values, and customs of rural New Englanders of the nineteenth century.

Whooping cough hits Allegheny County
At least 50 people in Allegheny County have come down with whooping cough this year, putting the region on pace for one of its worst bouts in a decade with the respiratory disease.
Most of the reported cases involve school-age children, all of whom recovered, according to county health officials. North Allegheny in McCandless was the most recent school district to confirm cases, announcing this month that two high school students contracted the bacterial ailment that doctors call pertussis.
The highly contagious disease causes violent coughing fits and vomiting, and can be especially dangerous for babies.
"It's probably going to be on the high side this year. Usually, we get 50 or less" cases, said Dr. Kristen Mertz, a medical epidemiologist at the Allegheny County Health Department.
Although the department hasn't listed any pertussis-linked deaths this year, the disease is blamed in at least two fatalities in California, where an epidemic led to more than 3,450 cases since January. Reported cases nationwide topped 24,000 last year, about half the tally from 2012 but up from 11,651 in 2003, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The illnesses in 2012 marked one of the largest pertussis epidemics since the 1950s and could foreshadow worse outbreaks, said Dr. Wilbert van Panhuis, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh.
"It was almost as bad as it was before the vaccine was introduced," said van Panhuis. Early pertussis shots went mainstream starting in the late 1940s.
While measles, mumps and rubella gain momentum because some people refuse vaccinations, he said, the pertussis issue is more complex. A popular pertussis vaccine introduced in the 1990s cut unpleasant side effects, but doctors realized it sometimes doesn't protect people as long as prior formulas did, van Panhuis said.
"You're seeing adults and teenagers getting pertussis because their vaccinations are not working well," van Panhuis said.
He said that trend, paired with some people's reluctance over vaccinations, might lead to more epidemics until pharmaceutical manufacturers introduce another pertussis vaccine. Preliminary state health data last month suggested as many as 177 confirmed pertussis cases in Pennsylvania since January.
The state recorded 633 cases in 2013, down from 1,934 in 2012. Doctors said cyclical peaks in case volumes typically develop every three to five years.
The CDC is investigating the waning effectiveness of the current pertussis inoculation, given as part of so-called DTap and Tdap vaccines. The agency is reviewing whether the vaccine could be ineffective on a particular pertussis strain, said CDC spokesman Jason McDonald.
The agency's standard vaccination recommendations could change depending on those investigations, though McDonald wasn't sure when they might be complete. Public health agencies still urge people to get the vaccines and booster shots.
Those who are vaccinated tend to endure milder cases of pertussis if they catch the bug, Mertz said.
"The message isn't that the vaccine is no good. It's still good. It's still effective," she said. "Most kids are not getting the disease."

Framed toile in 'Perfect English Cottages'
I'm hoping that someone, maybe my3dogs, will recognize it.
This photo is in the book "Perfect English Cottages" on pages 21 and 38. There's a bit of framed toile on the wall. I can't find a bigger image on the web. I hope you can see the birds.
It reminds me of a Robert Allen Dwell studio fabric ive seen in other colorways. Not quite as delicate as toile
Here is a link that might be useful: i know this comes in other colorways
I bought this book on Amazon and absolutely love it. I'm showing that it's still available from Amazon US ... see link below. It can also be found on eBay with free shipping.
Here is a link that might be useful: Amazon link
And going a bit OT here, but I also recently bought this book, which is equally charming. I just can't get enough of those English cottages!

I'm flattered that you thought I might recognize it. :-) Sadly, I don't.
First, are you looking for yardage, or do you want to frame a piece of toile? I ask because I have this scrap from a chair I had re-upholstered a while ago. It is Covington 5th Avenue 'Les Chinois'. It's approximately 20" wide by 10" top to bottom. The birds are approx. 6.5" from top of head to tip of tail.
If you wanted to frame a piece of toile on linen, you are welcome to this scrap.
My3dogs, thank you for your lovely offer. The fabric is beautiful but I'd better decline. I was just drawn to that particular one in the photo. I find myself collecting bits of fabric from Ebay, but unlike you, I do not sew! It's ridiculous. Lots of pillows exist only in my imagination.
I jumped when I saw that Katmandu fabric you used recently! It was on my search list for years, but in a colorway I can't find on the web anymore, even as a discontinued one. It was a reverse toile with the birds on an indigo blue background.
I love your use of lots of pattern in your house. I can never give up the chance to use it. This is on my sofa, believe it or not:
Now I AM familiar wit that one and I LOVE it! I saw it locally a few years ago, and I was drawn to it and had to just touch that BEAUTIFUL peacock toile. Those are 'my' colors all the way, and I think it's GREAT that you have it on your sofa!
I was SO lucky to get that Katmandu fabric. I see it available, but not in the colorway you want at insidefabric.com.
Would you consider framing some of your fabrics as shown in your example? I think they'd be beautiful. And I KNOW you could make a pillow!
And you can get the reverse of the colorway you want in wallpaper - link below. Just open your wallet wide.
Here is a link that might be useful: Katmandu Navy by F Schumacher
I thought it must be either fabric or wallpaper. The design looks to me like a section of a extended pattern. And the single-color design on one other color is classic toile.
Someone could have painted in that style, of course.
I wish the image were bigger so we could all see it better.
What do you think it is, Annie?
I think it might be framed floral fabric as it seems to match (or be very close to) the colors and pattern on the large pillow that's leaning up against the headboard.
Is this it?

I don't think so, Rafor. The birds in that one are flying, and they are perched on branches in the one in my picture.
I think it's most likely an English fabric, because it's in a cottage in England. Of course it may be an antique scrap and unobtainable anyway.
I really can't see the framed print on my monitor but was intrigued and found this (unlikely, and sold-out as well) possibility.

Wars have been fought over love...but a good cocktail? The humble mint julep has stories to tell. First sipped in Virginia but best known as the libation of choice at the Kentucky Derby, the cultural ownership of this bourbon beverage is as muddled as the mint leaves at its base.
State debate notwithstanding, the American South's signature cocktail has been gracing porches for nearly 200 years. You may like your martinis dry and your margaritas on the rocks, but when it comes to juleps, "minty" needn't be the only word in your vocabulary. Here's the classic recipe and seven new ways to enjoy this Southern staple in any state on the map.Get the Classic Mint Julep Recipe

so, go buy health insurance like I have done for myself and a separate policy for my 25 year old son, and don't worry. take some personal responsibility and have some skin in the game.....the government can't, and shouldn't, do everything for you.
Many millions of people in the USA, that could afford to, refuse to pay for Medical Insurance out of their own pocket knowing full well that if they require expensive Medical Care (for any length of time) they can't be refused from getting it!
Where is the UK?Notice that most countries listed have legalized drugs and prostitution.Go there and be happy until you get very sick and come to the USA for life saving treatment.
"Go there and be happy until you get very sick and come to the USA for life saving treatment."No matter how untrue a statement is, it will not keep a wingnut from using it to defend a bad position.

Android 4.4 field handheld features 3-inch thermal printer
Two Technologies's LTE-ready "N5Print" handheld runs Android on a Snapdragon 800 and has a built-in printer plus Smart Card, magstripe, and barcode support. Early smartphones were modeled in part on field-service handhelds, which in turn have increasingly imitated smartphones. This has been especially true in recent years as the product category has migrated from Windows Mobile and CE (and to a lesser extent plain Linux) to Android. In the past, handhelds, which are often available in commercial, as well as similar, but more robust military models, have trailed the current smartphone technology by several years. Yet, we're seeing and more Android handhelds that rival high end smartphones, such as Arbor's quad-core, 5.5-inch Gladius 5.

the light shines thru the plastic cover which is a section of a 2ltr soda bottle painted white or blue or etc.the light is the small lite one bulb sold at the dollar tree 2x 1.00.shoe comes from land fill.lace remanents torn off old dresses; buttons.jewels.braids remnants.
cost .50 .i used them for teen x-mas gifts
I have a red cowgirl boot lamp with lace shade. The twin is a birdhouse. I have a metal boot lamp and a red cowgirl hat to put on as a shade.
but birds can not have my birdhouse....ha ha. I do have a smaller boys boot birdhouse out in the GS garden.
You are right, those nightlights would sell at a boutique. Great idea.
I'm not trying to be a downer here...but just wondering...could the light bulb get too hot and cause trouble. My cousin collects old shoes...and I'm thinking I'd like to make her one for her birthday in July. But I'd hate to be the one giving her something that might cause a fire.
Also I think drilling a hole in the bottom of the shoe for the cord would be a good idea.

Male Promiscuity Boosts Role of Chance in Sex Chromosome Evolution
Thu, 19 Mar 2015 15:02:31 +0000
Humans, like all mammals and birds, determine sex with chromosomes. Whether a fertilised egg develops into a male or female depends on what chromosomes it carries Scientists have long recognised that genes evolve a little differently on the sex chromosomes, and recent research in GEE suggests this may be due to differing patterns of inheritance […]

Sloths Move Slow, Evolve Fast
Wed, 11 Mar 2015 18:20:41 +0000
Sloths might be notorious for their leisurely pace of life, but research published last year shows they are no slow coaches when it comes to evolution. Sloths, as we know and love them, are small, slow-moving creatures found in the trees of tropical rainforests. But modern sloths are pretty odd compared to their extinct relatives. […]

"Palaeoecology: "quaint but irrelevant" or essential for conservation biology?"
Kathy Willis
(University of Oxford)
Date & Time:
|Wednesday, 12 June at 5pm
|Medical Sciences AV Hill Lecture Theatre (map)
|Jon Bielby (IoZ)
Traditionally there has been little use of palaeoecology in conservation biology with the former often being viewed a purely descriptive and of little use in the actual process of conserving. This talk will tackle this criticism head-on and ask of what use are palaeoecological records to biodiversity conservation and management? Case studies will be presented from on-going research projects in the Galapagos, Madagascar, Tenerife, Mexico, and Congo basin to ask what further information these studies provide when trying to conserve and manage these important biodiversity hotspots.

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
As a Senior Citizen, I needed an attorney who could address all my concerns, not only my Last Will and Testament, but Power of Attorney, Health Care Proxy and Living Will. I found Al very helpful and patient in answering my questions, he returned my calls promptly and he also camE to my home on L. I. To discuss all of the above mentioned documents. I have and will continue to recommend him to my friends, Al is extremely knowledgeable in Elder Law which is important to Seniors.
Mr. Polizzotto is very professional and detail oriented. He explains legal matters in a way you can understand and always makes you feel comfortable. My family and I have seen him several times in the last 15 years for Wills, Trusts, Elder Law advice, Deed Transfers and Medicaid planning. He has always confidently guided us in the right direction. I would highly recommend his legal services.
In October 2013 I spoke with Mr. Polizzotto concerning having my sister who had a criminal record removed as Coexecutor of my parents' estate. He stated that he required a $7, 500.00 retainer. After I decided to retain him, I received a call from his young associate, Ms. Cindy Cheung. That was my first and last phone call from her. The remainder of our communication was through emails. After three months and $5,975 in charges, she did not have a petition filed with the Court. Each time she submitted something to the Surrogate Court, the Court sent it back (or so she said). I spoke with Mr. Polizzotto on several occasions about my concerns. He assured me he would follow up with her and get back with me. He never did.
After receiving a motion from my sister's attorney to have me removed as Coexecutor, in total frustration, I dismissed Mr. Polizzotto's associate and retained another attorney. In two weeks my new attorney had a filed petition and a hearing before the Judge with my sister at the cost of $3,081.
I do not recommend that anyone retain Mr. Polizzotto or any associate of his firm. Their incompetence can be very costly.
Lawyer Comment:
I am truly sorry that the client was unsatisfied with our firm. Unfortunately, her assertions are not accurate. After our retention in October 2013, there were numerous telephone conferences with the client, multiple drafts of complex relief for removal of her sibling as executor, issue an injunction and surcharge the executor(requiring extensive research). There was extensive communication during the weeks leading to Thanksgiving leading to the filing of the petition on November 15.
Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the Court did not respond until 12/2 informing us that they wanted the various relief divided into two separate motions. The requested changes were made and the motions resubmitted to the client for signature on 12/17. The client returned them to us on 12/20 and they were filed on 12/23. Unfortunately, the sitting Judge on the matter was away for the holiday until 1/2/14. The client discharged my firm on 1/3/14.
I write this only to illustrate that our firm is trustworthy and responsive to our client's input and calls/e-mail. I personally take any complaint seriously and wish the client nothing but gook luck in the future.
Posted 8 months ago. Flag
Alfred is a great attorney. You are in good hands with him. My family has used him on a number of occasions and was very please with him. He has helped me with several matters as well. I found him very reliable and always able to answer any question thrown at him. He really is an expert in his field that you can trust.

The Void, to many, is a place of horrors, unspeakable things, and unimaginable dread. To the denizens of the Void, there is a place far worse: The Abyss. A place where horrors so far detached from reality they hardly have form in Runeterra. One of the most horrifying, the most disturbing, of those horrors found a way out at the same time Cho'Gath did. It's true name is unspeakable, and it's true form is impossible to behold. It is merely called The Abomination.
Picture: http://newworldseve.files.wordpress....og-sothoth.jpg
In game, it would basically be a pool of yellow slime, with animations of the eyes and teeth rising up. It's attacks would have the teeth rise up and hit an enemy unit.
Health based character, no mana. Role is tank, focusing on long combat.
X Health 500 (+100 / per level)
X Move Speed 300
X Armor 30 (+3.5 / per level)
X Spell Block 20 (+1 / per level)
X Critical Strike 1 (+.1 / per level)
X Health Regen 3 (+0.17 / per level)
X Attack Damage: 75 (+3 / per level)
X Attack Speed: .5 (+.025/ per level) (not entirely sure on this or attack damage.
X Attack Range: 130
Wretched Pool: The Abomination's wretched form allows it to ignore unit collisions. Whenever it is on top of an enemy unit, it applies a 1/2/3 (lvl 1/8/15)% slow every one second, stacking up to 10 times and lasting 5 seconds (refreshing on each new stack). His form is a 180+20/level area, though his "targetable" area is always the same size, centered on him.
Visually, his targetable area would be a massve mouth in the center, and the rest would be bits and pieces of ooze and eyes and such flowing outward. The area that could be hit would be signified because it was also a bit of a darker yellow than the rest.
This cannot hit stealthed units that The Abomination cannot see.
Design Intent: It allows him to be big, slow enemies down for chasing, and stop enemies from approaching his allies. It's not amazing, but hey, ignoring unit collision alone is nice, and it synergizes with one of his skills. Additionally, with the extra space he takes up but isn't targeted in, he can check out bushes more safely than other heroes.
Q skill:
Acidic Form.
Passive: Every time his enemy is hit with The Abominations passive, they take 5/8/12/16/20 (+.033 per AP) damage per second per stack. This DoT lasts for three seconds, rather than the 10 of the slow, and is separate (no Highlander's removing this one.)
Active: The Abomination hurls a chunk of himself at the enemy, immediately dealing 90/150/210/270/330 (+.75/AP) damage to the first champion it hits (skillshot) and applying eight stacks of acid to every minion in the line. He does not gain the benefits of Acidic Form *or* wretched pool while this is on cooldown. Cooldown 10 seconds, cost 30/50/70/90/110 health, range same as Nidalee's spear throw (800?), but fatter and slower. Speed is approximately 400 (about as fast as a champ with the +3 speed boots).
Design intent: It again rewards keeping the enemies in your AoE for the team, while providing a decent harassment early game if you can land it.
EDIT: The skillshot may hit stealthed enemies, but the passive may not.
Eye Spy
Passive: The Abomination detaches one of his eyes every 20 seconds, sending it out to scout. He has a max of 1/2/3/4/5 eyes out at once; if he has reached his max, he does not spawn any more eyes. The eyes last 40/60/80/100/120 seconds before dying. They can be moved (like Tibbers) but only by clicking on them. They have 100/150/200/250/300 (+2/AP) health. They can attack, but they deal no damage, instead applying a stack of wretched pool and acidic form with each attack. Base eye speed 400. They can only travel so far from the abomination before the connection becomes stretched, and they warp back to him. Their max range is approximately the range from the middle of the map to dragon/baron.
Active: A chosen eye becomes stealthed until it attacks. During this time, it will not attack without your command and becomes immune to spells (Reasoning: To prevent random AoE spells killing your squishy little eyes.) Attacking breaks stealth. CD 30 seconds, cost 100 health.
Design intents: Map control, more slows and DoTs! They have a relatively slow attack rate, but ****, drop an eye everywhere to keep up the scouting. This is mostly because I like map control and encouraging players to ward everything is never a bad thing. Now with a bit of a range limit and a time limit on the eyes, and no more oracles on them.
Abyssal Bite:
The Abomination stretches his form and moves his main "mouth" to the enemy, taking a chunk out of his armor and corroding his weapons. The enemy champion has it' attack damage and armor reduced by 10/20/30/40/50 (+.1 AP) for 3 seconds, and The Abomination is moved on top of him. Cost 40/60/80/100/120 HP, CD 15 seconds, range 550/600/650/700/750.
Design Intent: Gets him into teamfights faster, synergizes with all of his other skills except the eyeballs, and makes one enemy take more damage. It may require a little nerf to the armor and damage reduction, though.
And for the coup de grace, his ultimate.
The Abomination stretches his form and grabs every enemy in the area, dragging them back in and rooting (is that the one? They can attack and cast, but not move) them to the spot for 2/3/4 seconds and immediately applying 10 stacks of Acidic Form and Wretched Pool. The enemies are rooted roughly 300 units away from The Abomination, preventing melee attackers from attacking him. Range is twice the range of his passive. Cannot be used while Acidic Form is on cooldown.
Design Intent: Mass area control with yet more AoE damage.
Basically, I see the champs design as this: Know where the enemies are, stay in their face, make sure they have a hard time attacking, and keep them too slow to escape. The numbers could probably use tweaking, sure, but he's basically meant to just damage enemies over time and keep them slowed for his teammates.
Skill ideas:
Fire and forget wards: Make an eye, stealth it, and watch lizard/golem/dragon/baron/the river/wherever. Leave it there. Bing a gank when somebody enters into range. If your allies gank them, have the eye attack to grab some free assist gold.
A brush with terror: Move by any brush you think the enemy is in. You'll gain sight, but since your actual targetable area isn't in the brush, they'll have to leave to attack you, and they'll take damage. Does not work as well against ranged champs as it does against melee champs.
Creeping without being there: If you're having trouble creeping due to harassment, use your Acidic Form's active to hit multiple minions; it's fat enough to hit all the melee and ranged enemies if you center it. It won't deal amazing damage, but it's enough to get last hits while harassed.
Staredown: Send in all five of your eyes to start harassing somebody in another lane. Sure, they're squishy, but just hit him twice with the eyes for 10 stacks, then hit again in three seconds. It's an easy 200 DPS to hit on somebody at max ranks with a good slow to boot.
An eye for your (allied) guys: Buy an oracles potion. Drop an eye or two in every lane. Your allies will love you. (Note: If eyes have wards removed from them, which is possible, then this isn't that useful. Likewise, it's less useful if the eyes don't get stealth, which is another possible removal.)
(Chemical) burn the world, basic: W in to a group of enemies and drop your ult. Everybody is snared, they're all taking pretty good DPS while being snared (possibly putting them out of range to hit your "core" if they are melee, while your team whacks away at them.
(Chemical) burn the world, micro style: W in to a group of enemies, drop your ult, and then have your eyes individually hit each enemy. This will keep the stacks you have on the enemies maxed even if they attempt to run; one click on each enemy and your eyes will keep chasing them, oozing all over the enemies.
The dastardly, *******ey ultimate deathfest: Combine your ult with one or more of the following: Gangplank's ult, Morgona's ult, Nunu's ult, Pantheon's ult, Amumu's ult, a sivir in general (fun AoE bouncing), or anybody else with an ult that hits an area.
To give an example, let's take Sivir, Pantheon, The Abomination, Nunu, and Morgona. Two carries, and three tank/supports (not an amazing team comp, but it's an example; feel free to substitute one for another carry, or kayle, or something). You run in and drop your ult, locking all the enemies in place, while sivir activates her ult and starts hitting them all with bouncing AoE death. Morgona activates her ult as you activate yours, and the enemies have no chance to flee. While she starts her ult, Nunu starts his and Pantheon starts channeling his. The enemies are all snared and get hit for the full blast of nunu's ult, then are stunned by morgona's when pantheon lands on their faces and begins to whack them. During this whole time, they are still all taking pretty big DPS (200) from your acidic form and Sivir is bouncing blades all around them. In short, you rape the enemy team completely.
Stand on someone, stun the ****er and OMNOMNOM his face with your stacking slow.
Take in account you just follow him wherever he goes as well, as you simply tread over all minions and whatever the like that stands in your way. The passive is a bit too strong. Dude is huge too, meaning he'll just nom everyone in his goo.
E skill -> Go to enemy with huge range, applying that slow
Followed up by his R -> Yank everyone thats close to him giving that slow as well.
Correct me if I'm wrong on those two skills, but it seems like you mean that to happen.
All in all, I can see you put time in the post. You thought about your moves and you tried to make them original. That worked out well. The moves might have to be altered a bit to be less 'Jack of all trades master of all too'.
I don't remember how stacked buffs work, do they wear off one at a time, or all at once? Meaning, 10 seconds after I move out of range of The Abom, do I regain full speed, or just shed a single stack and regain SOME speed?
Anyway, 3rd level of his passive is 15% slow per stack, thus a 150% total slow when fully stacked on a Champion, which is automatically accomplished if you use your ultimate. I am guessing that a 150% slow means they lose 150% of their base movespeed, including the boots bonus. So any Champion who has not invested in +50% worth of movement items (few caster items give move bonuses, and few tank items as well as I recall, so only Melee who focus on DPS with a certain few items would have +50%) will be completely frozen until 10 seconds after The Abom has moved away from them. While he stays nearby, they are ABSOLUTELY unable to move. Seems a TAD extreme. 1/2/3 would work just fine instead of 1/8/15
For a passive, lack of unit collisions alone seems like a good deal. That is half of a summoner spell right there, and permanent instead of for brief spurts of time with large recharge delay between uses. Most passives are pretty pathetic and nobody would even contemplate comparing them with a Summoner Spell, let alone having a FAVORABLE comparison with one.
Also, how will the passive work with Mercury treads? Just wear off faster?
Q: So, using this ability blocks THREE of your abilities for 10 seconds (Passive, Ultimate, and Q itself). It applies 8 stacks to minions, but I am assuming none to the target? Also, you don't specify a max number of stacks for the DoT, is it also 10? Must be at least 8.
Not sure if AP scaling works with DoT via debuff. I mean, what happens if you have 20 AP from items (no bonus due to rounding), and have Ignite with the Mastery? You slap 5 stacks on someone (base damage), then use Ignite (now 30 AP via Mastery) and slap on 5 more stacks. Does he take base damage (Original value), base +5 (Proper value), or base +10 (new value)?
Anyway, rank 1 of this for laning means you can slap your opponent with 75 damage, and get in 120 damage against all creeps you were able to catch (probably at least 3), which is pretty nice. 2 seconds later your Regrowth Pendant has recovered the full cost of the move, 8 seconds later it is available again. Powerful harrassment potential compared to any other skill I can think of (low damage on primary target, but nice bonus to subsidiary targets, and completely sustainable as far as cost goes). If the 8 free stacks also apply to your Champion target who takes the DD, that is nearly 200 damage, which is DEVASTATING at level 1.
W: Free wards is pretty nice. What is the sight range on them? If it is Teemo Shroom range, that's pretty useless. If it is standard Ward range, that is pretty nice, even without them being able to attack at all.
Main things I don't like here are the lack of a duration on the eyeballs, and the inability to be harmed by spells. That means a Champion MUST autoattack them to kill the buggers and shut down your sight temporarily.
Free wards from the start of the game is a powerful ability/tool if used well. Having JUST that aspect would be a worthwhile ability IMO. However, as written, except for the spell immunity it isn't really broken I think. Though passing your Oracle to the eyes is NOT fair, as you can keep one in the lane with each of your teammates so that they can protect it and you all gain Oracle/sight ward for free. Especially since the source of the Oracle won't be directly present for the stealther to deal with them like would be the case with a ward or the champion with Oracle being present themself.
Since you will most likely not keep the eyes with yourself, how worthwhile is the stealth? They would likely not be smart enough to avoid attacking, so would break stealth near instantly. The stealth thus only keeps them from showing up to other Stealth people (if neither of you have Oracle), Clairvoyance, and Sight Wards.
Maybe no passive spawning, just an active "drop an eye" ability which places a non-attacking eye in location which stealths itself and gives ward-range vision. Then you actually have to go to the location you are scouting yourself, instead of a no-risk capability to check who is near a tower, or look to see if their Lizard/Golem are alive, or possibly being attacked by a champion who is pretty low health to begin with.
E: I like it, except the reduced damage to Abom AND damage shielding that back to the enemies. Just sucking them in and max-stacking them with the slow/DoT is pretty good. Longer rooting and shorter cooldown alone are pretty worthwhile gains upon ranking.
If the Q skill is easily dodged, then it should probably have a higher base. But having the effect against the creeps makes it still worthwhile, that would be the PRIMARY use for it most of the time, but the fact you might catch an enemy with it is a nice bonus (and in a close-quarters fight then you would lob it out for some added damage once everyone was max stack if your Ult wasn't going to be available anytime soon).
W: So range about that of an Oracle then. A tad shorter than Champion, but decent enough to tell what is going on around you.
Duration on the eyes should probably be used to keep them from being able to scout the opposite side of the map, so have them move slow enough and/or expire quickly enough that it is difficult. Though a duration (even a long one) alone deters you from spending the time required to maneuver them through the jungle to safely place them somewhere worthwhile.
Not sure if the stealthed eyes would be smart enough to not attack. My experience is that all AI controlled things attack any time something is in range (Tibbers/Heimer Turrets in the bushes, Shaco Boxes anywhere) I am not sure if a stealth Teemo has to manually disable Auto-attack, I swear that I read a thread once where someone complained about the game auto-breaking his stealth, and being informed of a key to disable auto-attack.
I think one important thing to remember while looking at the champion is that everything is mitigated by the fact that he is BLOODY SLOW (at least so I imagine) and thus cannot run from, nor chase, anything. So he needs a fairly beefy disable to have a chance to get away, and a nice lingering damage capacity to have a chance to kill someone who is cautious or has escape mechanisms.
Hrm... One final question: Does he have to SEE a champion to be able to apply his Passives stacks? Dangerous man for a stealth champion to accidentally walk past if not (though it shouldn't reveal them anyway, just make them take some damage and slow down a little)
Edited in some changes. Eyes now have a duration and a (rather lenient) range restriction, and can no longer be used with oracles. Passives don't apply to stealthed enemies. No damage reduction on his ult. I also clarified a few things, such as the speed of his skillshot (400, a bit faster than a champ with boots), and the fact that his ult drags enemies and roots them just out of melee range, though most every melee champion has a way to approach him anyway.

Losing Faith?

It's a familiar story, Margaret Wheeler Johnson's account about losing her faith. As Johnson tells it, the personal integrity that religion instilled in her, "made it impossible to maintain faith" in religion.
A while back, ColumbiaUniversityprofessor, Mark Lilla, made a similar disclosure; namely, the truth that led him to faith was the very thing that led him "out of faith."
In Johnson's case, the turn was sparked by doubts concerning her denomination's teaching about the sacrament of communion; in Lilla's, it had to do with the interpretation of a particular bible passage that he found disagreeable. The scriptural text in question, and its reading, Lilla does not disclose.
Margaret Johnson and Mark Lilla are in the growing company of individuals who have left Christianity not because of core doctrines – like the Nicene Creed -- but because of a sectarian peculiarity, a scriptural interpretation, or what they deem as hypocritical practices. They are folks who wouldn't think of abandoning their pet political party over an unpleasant plank of the platform, a questionable constitutional stance, or corruption in the ranks.
What we "know"
And yet, what they don't realize (or admit), is that they don't lose their faith, they merely shift it from one object to another. Otherwise, they would quickly learn that life itself would be impossible. For faith is the bridge between what is known and what remains unknown; and that, it so happens, is a gap of cosmic proportions. Continue reading here.

Pointing to recent attacks on American consulates and embassies — including the murder of U.S. Libyan Ambassador Christopher Stevens — Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on September 13 offered an amendment to the foreign aid bill that would deny funds to Pakistan, Egypt, and Libya.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney left some of his fellow Republicans and media allies troubled by his eagerness to condemn the Obama administration's response to Tuesday's anti-American demonstration in Egypt and the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other U.S. diplomats. Romney described an earlier statement issued by the U.S. embassy in Cairo as the administration's "first response" to the attack, characterizing the statement as "akin to an apology" for an anti-Muslim film that sparked the riots and an attempt to "sympathize" with the attackers.
The Obama administration is being heavily criticized over its response to the ongoing crisis surrounding American diplomatic missions in the Middle East and North Africa, turmoil that has seen Islamist mobs attack multiple embassies and has already claimed the life of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens. Among other elements, critics slammed the president's failure to vigorously defend free speech rights and explain it to the world.
Michael Hayden, a former general and CIA director, says the United States now has "moral responsibility" for the future of Libya because our actions in helping overthrow Moammar Gadhafi continue to cause bloodshed and unrest, such as the attack on the U.S. embassy and the murder of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.
An Islamist mob stormed the U.S. embassy in Yemen's capital city of Sana'a, torching a building after tearing down the American flag and setting it on fire. The latest incident, like the September 11 attacks on American diplomatic missions in Egypt and Libya, was widely reported to have been sparked by outrage over a crude YouTube video depicting the Islamic Prophet Mohammed as a barbarian pedophile.
At least four American officials including U.S. Ambassador to Libya John Christopher Stevens are reportedly dead after outraged Islamist mobs attacked U.S. diplomatic missions in Egypt and Libya on September 11. The frenzied hordes were apparently upset about an online film made by an Israeli-American that ridicules the Islamic Prophet Mohammed as a savage pedophile. Experts, however, say it is much broader than that.
A demolition crew used the cover of night — and police protection — to demolish a Pentecostal church in Moscow September 6, according to a European news source. Vasili Romanyuk, pastor of the Holy Trinity Pentecostal Church in eastern Moscow, told the Oslo-based Forum 18 News Service that an unidentified crew, backed by local police, arrived at the church around midnight, and by morning had disassembled most of the three-story structure. The congregation had apparently been attempting to work with government authorities to secure the legal authority to keep its building at the location, but had been beaten by a court order.
Contrary to claims by Western governments and Islamist tyrants financing the "revolution" in Syria, foreign jihadist forces and al Qaeda terrorists battling the secular Bashir al-Assad regime are not trying to create a "democracy" with "human rights" for all. Instead, they are waging a so-called jihad, or "holy war," to build an Islamic dictatorship under Sharia law as part of an emerging international Muslim system, Doctors Without Borders co-founder Jacques Beres confirmed after returning from Syria.
After 70 years of denial, new declassified documents show that the Roosevelt Administration knew — and covered up the fact — that Stalin butchered 22,000 Polish military officers.
