Since we're all speculating about written ideas without even numbers, would it be possible to post a video of Rengar using his ultimate or Q train on a couple different champs just to see what it actually looks like?
Senior Member
what does rengars ult do now besides the ability to leap and ms buff?
I know they want to change rengar, but it seems like they're just making another bland without any flavor. The only reason you play rengar as opposed to other bruisers or assassins, is the stealth on the ult. I don't like how he feels now but they're just making another lame, typical completely un unique champion. They refuse to add anything innovative or different than what they have before. Take quinn and valor, there was SO much potential there to have a duo champion like the lone druid from lol, but instead they make a terrible Adc that hardly ever sees play. Or aatrox. another bruiser assassin. Riveting. Or Zac, who despite being made of goo is still basically a green jarven with a bit more CC. They refuse to add anything really different and honestly, I'd prefer they just rework champions like Warwick or Zilean who see no use, than just release more of the same over and over
Rengar main here. I like the direction of making him ridiculously fast, but a couple things that bother me are the removal of stealth and the consumption of ferocity to increase his ulti's duration. If you've increased his movement speed so much that when he comes sprinting of the brush to gank, people are like "OH ****" because they know they can't escape it as he leaps at them, I'm fine with the removal of stealth, but if he's too slow and they have enough time to react and /all "lolol rengar such a bad champ," it's going to make a ton of Rengar players deservedly angry. Part of the fun of Rengar's ulti was being able to pop it and juke people with the stealth. We'll no longer be able to do that, and even if we can run away, people will know exactly what direction we went. As for triple Q, that wasn't really a glitch, and feels like a part of Rengar's identity at this point. Removing it is like Super Smash Bros developers removing something like Wavedashing in the transition of Melee to Brawl. After dekar made it common knowledge and all the other Rengar mains began to play him again, he hit a pretty good point. I feel like, as a designer or artist of any kind, you have to take what may not have been originally intended and weigh the benefits of changing it, keeping it, or enhancing it in some way. Rengar's triple Q wasn't too complicated or difficult to pull off once you knew about it, so I don't see the need to change that by consuming stacks. Just remember Bob Ross' advice, sometimes there are "happy accidents." He also clearly has counters (well played Jax, Cho, Kayle, Riven, Aatrox, and some others that do pretty well against him in 1v1 situations) both in lane and lategame. If you properly camp top so he doesn't have an easy level 2 all-in, his laning becomes significantly weaker if he can't snowball. Lategame, CC is king vs Rengar - if you can push him away as soon as he jumps (ie Vayne), Zhonya's, dash away, or lock him up in any form of CC, he's just instantly killed and made useless. There is quite a lot of counterplay to Rengar actually, so I don't know why that's the reason he's being reworked. His main problem is that, like has been identified already, his ulti is his lifeblood. If he doesn't have his ultimate, he's borderline useless if a fight breaks out in an area not surrounded by a bunch of brush. He's very easy to run away from, which is why a lot of Rengar players opt for Boots of Mobility; the extra movement speed extends the range of his jump out of the brush, and helps him get in and out of fights easier. Not sure how I feel about E being a skill shot, but I think I would like it once I got used to it. Although it seems like it would suck to kill creeps with it (like you have to when you're zoned). Does it go through minions? Is it like Ez's Q? If it is, I'm sure you'd have to increase its range. Overall, if this makes Rengar a more useable character, I'm happy, but if it just becomes another round of "omg rengar so toxic opop nerfnerf" that Riot complies with because his kit is too strong, I'd be pretty disappointed. As far as I'm concerned, the Karma "rework" was kind of a disaster because she doesn't even resemble the original Karma. Please don't do that to Rengar.
Wizard Cat
Since Rengar isn't able to use stealth anymore and can be seen by wards, can't you make it that he can also disable wards within the range radius where he can see so people would have to be grouped up in fight and have no vision for certain time from the wards, otherwise I don't see the point Rengar being a predator chasing after his targets when they know he's coming after them
In my honest opinion, if we want to make Rengar's stealth stay, I say why not give him instant stealth inside of bushes and ONLY in bushes. This makes him feel incredibly predator like and would allow him a unique stealth mechanic that preserves the "I'm a jungle cat hunting prey" feel. With a 1 second delay after attacking so that he can't just attack then restealth instantly
I'm not sure I like this. In any way. I was already concerned with the whole Q changes, and now this "ult" and new bonetooth seem like actual nerfs. And not minor at all. The bonetooth seems like a glorified jungle item, and all the movement speed seems nice until you're hit with CC. What good is movement speed against roots, stuns or slows? Rengar is not the tankiest champion, and he's played like an assassin meaning almost entirely offensive items. If you're lightning fast but get snared or stunned you just gave a kill. Hell, imagine a Fiddle fear. 3 seconds. You are dead plain and simple. Not to mention, if you see Rengar's current playstyle, he's first and foremost a top laner. What good is this new Bonetooth for a laner? It no longer has the "mini brutalizer" stats that were pretty much the most important stats it gave. If anything, at least make the mini brutalizer stats a reward for 6 stacks or 9 stacks, but keep it. Otherwise I see no incentive to build it as a laner. It sort of makes it a jungle only item and what's most annoying is the fact that it'd make it so there's a unique item for a champion that enhances almost everything about him yet won't be built half of the time. Another thing that bothers me about it is the redundancy. 3 Stacks: Rengar gains Flat Movement Speed while out of combat, or while in brush. 14 Stacks: Rengar gains % Movement speed for 2.5 seconds upon exiting brush. Why the need to get 2 movement speed buffs? Movement speed has a "cap" anyway, so isn't it kind of contradictory? Unless it bypasses it. Basically it's like having Boots of Mobility and Zephyr/Trinity Force? Might as well skip the new bonetooth and get those items, at least they give offensive stats. The reason movement speed seems to work on Rammus and Hecarim (Hell, even on Singed) is because they are tanky enough that getting CC'd is merely a minor inconvenient. On an assassin I don't see the point of being super fast. You don't need to chase targets, you need to burst them down. Maybe it can work as an escape mechanism, but again as stated before, what good is movement speed if you're stunned or snared or feared? The stealth allowed you to juke and make daring escapes if needed, sometimes even decide to juke and return for a kill trade. It's like taking Twitch's stealth away and giving him 500 movement speed. Do you really think that will be as satisfying considering you can just be CC'd? Another thing I don't agree with is you mention: "Direction with Bonetooth as i've previously stated is to reduce the 'Stat bonus' focus on Bonetooth, and make it more Rengar-specific and use it as a tool to embrace and enhance Rengar's stalking/hunting gameplay. " I can certainly tell you stealthing and having predator vision gives far more stalking/hunting feeling than moving as fast as a Homeguard Rammus Powerball. I have not played it, true, but it sounds completely awful. You're already nerfing his Q, his W/Heal, and now Bonetooth and his ult seem far worse? All I can say is WTF. I agree with whoever said that it's as if all possible uniqueness in a champion is getting changed because it's "unbalanced" instead of nerfing Elise, Olaf, Jayce, Irelia and Rengar, it'd be much nicer if you guys committed to creating more unique champions and reworking champions that have interesting mechanics but are not used because they're not in a good spot (Heimer, Zilean, Sion, maybe even Urgot etc.) What I can imagine right now off the top of my head is this becoming another Draven case. Look at the LCS, Draven was picked all the time. He got his passive changed, he's no longer picked. Mostly because in higher elos/pro scene the new passive gives absolutely nothing because it's hard to get kills against people that actually know what they're doing. Wasn't it C9 Sneaky that recently played Draven on stream, got barely 125 gold or so by 25 min and proceeded to tweet that Draven sucks now? Yup, it was. I expect something similar to happen with Rengar and Rengar players. And I have to ask: Why?

These are my personal opinions and feelings on this subject. The only experience I have in the field of psychology has been learned "on the job training", 20 years of therapy and in trying to live a normal life with my demons. What I've learned is that when you realize your not alone in the terror, it makes it better. I think because it does make you realize that what happened to you is not your fault. I feel being mentally conditioned from early childhood to feel as if you don't have value from your parents can effect your future life. How hard it is to over come that brain washing and finally come to the realization that you do matter, you do have value! I also feel that there is a point in your life where you have to "own your own decisions" and stop blaming the horror of the past on all your problems of here and now. That's the idea of exploring the past to make better decisions in the future.
In this day and age we have names for everything. "Peter-pan syndrome", "Stockholm syndrome", etc. It's like as long as we have a name for it, people can do whatever they want. We've studied the criminally insane, and in turn have come up with "reasons to excuse their selfish unconscionable behavior" because they were also abused as children. Guess what, a whole lot of people have suffered some type of abuse or trauma in their lives. And every person that has ever been abused doesn't pick up victims to abuse, torture or maybe even kill them. They suffer through what they have to and they go on getting up everyday trying to live a normal life.
I think that there are households of every class or monetary position, that, what goes on behind those closed doors would shock you. I have heard shocking stories of abuse and neglect you would not believe especially when looking from the outside in. I'm sure our family looked "normal" from outside (young couple, 3 children, went to church every Sunday, etc) no one would have guessed at the things that happened inside our house. And as bad as it was there is always someone that has a worse tale to tell.
In families like this the whole family practices the art of deception keeping the secrets are important. You feel that if you don't keep the secrets then you will be cast out of the family. The members of the family handle these issues in many different ways. Like some people will do anything to keep others at arms length, they don't want to be too connected to another person.
Because of the fear of not being accepted as they are?
Some may not even be aware of the abuse, (because children have ways of hiding these horrors from their selves especially) and can never admit that they were abused. Children will do anything to protect their parents, and are always striving for love from the parent(s) that are abusing them. If they could just do one thing right to please that parent then everything would be different, the parent would love them. The way some handle it is to bury it deep down inside. They put up walls, boxes, whatever their imaginary interior decorator likes, and put all the bad feelings away like their winter clothing, it's their personal defense systems. Others turn to drugs or drinking to self medicate to dull the pain inside. Or turn to sex to feel as if someone loves them even though it doesn't fill the void or keep the devils at bay. Some, women mostly, eat/starve themselves to death, controlling the only thing that they themselves can control, what they put in their mouth. Others feel unhappy but never really understand why they feel that way. A few seek counsel and dig in their subconscious minds for years trying to figure out why they can never seem to be happy. They say knowledge is the key to recovery when you know what happened to you then you can combat the effects and heal yourself.
But if the knowledge is that you were never wanted, that your inner child has always been needy, what do you do to over come those negative feelings?
You hear about playing music or talking to your baby while still in the womb to encourage feelings of well being. If a mother didn't want the child wouldn't the baby feel those negative feelings as well? I feel that if it's one parent that is doing the abusing the other parent usually has some sense that something isn't right. As far as I'm concerned that parent is just as abusive, if they do nothing to stop the abuse and protect their child (basically they abandon their child). I'm sure it's hard to face these issues especially when it was someone you love that is doing these awful things. It would mean that your whole life would change. But I feel the child's welfare should be any parents first consideration.
I've wondered if even as a baby in the womb, did I get the sense that I wasn't wanted. I've tried to remember back to a time when or if I ever felt that I was loved by my parents. I really can't recall having that feeling of acceptance and caring from my mother ever but at times I think our dad did love us. But I think our mother was jealous of us, didn't like our father to pay attention to us. I was lucky in one respect I have a wonderful set of Grandparents on my paternal side and I spent a lot of time there. And a wonderful Grandmother on my maternal side, I didn't care for my maternal Grandfather.
After a while and many experiences later I have learned that the best way for me to protect myself was to be a "BIG" girl, when you are overweight people look through you, around you, whatever you want to call it. It's as if your invisible. I'm 48 years old and still do not know how to protect myself from being abused, even from verbal abuse from others. I tend to think that it is because I am lacking in some way whether it's no self-esteem or not having the knowledge of how to say what I need to say to protect myself. I'm always so concerned about hurting someone else's feelings, because then they may not like me, and I'm always striving for approval from someone.
But our society has turned it's back on the true survivors or victims in this world. Our society seems more concerned with how a criminal is treated then the person who was violated by that person. By someone who really didn't and doesn't care what they are doing by hurting others and the rippling effect that has on those peoples lives and the lives of their loved ones, their children.
Some people imply that people want to be victims or play the victim role I do understand that there are people that do play that role but not everyone does. I was a victim several times over and in each instance I didn't ask to be that victim.
But neither do I go around telling everyone about all my problems issues and cry poor me.
I do believe that the predators are able to sense when a person can be a victim, someone that doesn't know how to protect themselves emotionally, someone that unintentionally unconsciously sends out a signals of vulnerability. Maybe it's because they have no sense of self value because they were never treated as having value. I think I craved love, affection and approval of any kind, like a junkie craves the next hit. I believe now that this craving this neediness in me, is what brought about so much of the abuse I suffered.

This is why I'm confused by the talk of a "Chinese middle class". The middle class is in fact very small in China. There are a certain number of people who have more money than they know what to do with, and a huge number of people barely scraping by.
I would have liked to read something about the choice of the name "Wumart" and how it sounds so similar to "Walmart". It's an interesting name. What are the two firms Chinese names?

Multiple-image encryption and authentication with sparse representation by space multiplexing |
Applied Optics, Vol. 52, Issue 31, pp. 7486-7493 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1768 KB)
A multiple-image encryption and authentication approach by space multiplexing has been proposed. The redundant spaces in the previous security systems employing sparse representation strategy are optimized. With the proposal the information of multiple images can be integrated into a synthesized ciphertext that is convenient for storage and transmission. Only when all the keys are correct can the information of the primary images be authenticated. Computer simulation results have demonstrated that the proposed method is feasible and effective. Moreover, the proposal is also proved to be robust against occlusion and noise attacks.

CJ Ramone
Mental Decay, Platinum Load
Christopher Joseph Ward (born October 8, 1965), better known as C. J. Ramone, is an American musician known as the bassist for punk rock group The Ramones from 1989 to 1996.
Christopher J. Ward was born in Queens, New York, though he lived in Deer Park, New York for most of his early life.
He attended Ss. Cyril and Methodius School and graduated from Deer Park High School in 1983.
Prior to joining the Ramones, Ward served in the United States Marine Corps. He was a fan of the Ramones, particularly of Dee Dee Ramone, before joining the band, and later played with him in a band called The Remains or The Ramainz, which was formed by Dee Dee Ramone, Marky Ramone and Dee Dee's wife, Barbara Zampini (Barbara Ramone). He also played with Axe, Los Gusanos, and is currently playing in Bad Chopper.
Ward replaced original band member Dee Dee Ramone, though Dee Dee continued to write songs for the group. C.J. sang many well-known Ramones songs, and gave The Ramones a younger image. In the documentary End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones it states that when C.J. joined the Ramones he was seen as a breath of fresh air into the band. Johnny Ramone says he knew immediately when C.J. auditioned to replace Dee Dee that he was right, commenting that he "had the right look".[citation needed] When the Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame original Ramones drummer, Tommy Ramone, credited C.J. with "keeping the band young". C.J. also had the idea for the band to cover Tom Waits' "I Don't Want to Grow Up" on the album ¡Adios Amigos!.
C.J. Ramone was the youngest member of the Ramones when he joined, by 9 years. (He also shared a birthday, October 8, with bandmate Johnny Ramone.) His first show with The Ramones was on September 30, 1989, in Leicester, England, and he played with the band until they retired on August 6, 1996.

Hello everyone, I just want to talk about surrender votes and making a suggestion in leavers/afk players. 1) So when the game is going very bad and players start to put out the surrender, there is always thoughs who purposely (whether it was raging or just being *****) vote no. Now I can understand that for those who are not doing it just to be ***** but to inform others that we still have a chance if we pull together, which is not a problem. So the questioned I want to ask is why does 2 votes out do 3? (3 yes and 2 no = the 3 yes win but in this case its not.) I just would like someone to explain to me the purpose of this cause i don't understand. 2) I was thinking also about those who purposely leave or afk due once again to rage or just being *****. So what I had in mind was for those who do leave that the surrender timer would be reduced. Example of this is say 5 min for each player leave or 2 min , just something to help move things on. 3) Since there's no voice com apart from third party programs like vent/skype/mumble/ etc, it leaves others who are solo or don't have those programs to be more independent with only the "ping" for quick response. Turbobear was suggesting different color ping's too indicate signs like red for att and black for def or what ever suits. This way at least players have some sort of information about whats going on, other then the consist ping mashing. Thank you.

The only problem I see with your reduced surrender time option is that it could, not necessarily would, but could lead to potential IP farming abuse. A group of five jerks could get together and decide to try and be cute, and purposely leave games. The end result would be the opposing team(s) earning IP at a significantly accelerated rate. The likely result of that happening would be an increase on IP price points. I really don't know how to fix the problem. Last night I played a game in which five players in total quit. Two from my team, and three on the opposing team. A 3v2 game. Not fun at all for either side. There was roughly a ten minute lull in which no team fights happened, and no towers were attacked. Both of our sides spent the time farming creeps. It sucked, hard. The only reason I think the other team didn't surrender was because they were hoping someone else from our side would drop.
This is just me guessing, but I think the reason 2 beats 3 is that it's in favor of those who want to keep going. However, I do think it's silly. If 3 people are wanting to give up, even if you can win... with a "give up" attitude, it doesn't normally work out. I've had people just feed the other team because they want to force a surrender. I think the surrender timer reduction would be a nice possibility, but as Black Lyon states, it could be abused. Lastly, it's not that hard to get Vent, TS, or Skype... you likely don't even need to talk, just be able to listen. Now, if you were to go solo and you're talking about random groups, typing can help. Even if it's a quick, "twitch mia". Having multi color pings just scares me... I'd like to see a cooldown after someone pings. Many groups I've been in (random groups) where some noob pings the same spot about 50 times. It's quite irritating. Also, you'd have to have like shift-g and alt-g for say red and black pings. It'd be fine for me, as I have a gamepad... but, that would be annoying with a keyboard.
I've never understood why 3v2 on votes keeps you in game. Obviously the 3 who wanted to quit have given up hope and probably wont be trying to help. The two who don't want to quit, can just play another game where they would have a better chance (possibly) at winning the game. I've seen plenty of games where a flaming child purposely feeds the other team so his team tries to quit to spare the long drawn out defeat and he clicks no to keep them in, and for some reason 1/4 hit no, so the three that hit yes are stuck there. This wouldn't be such a problem if the intentional feeders, and flaming kids were dealt with but they aren't, so fixing the voting system would be nice.

Since coming to power, Bashar Assad has mostly kept quiet on his attitude toward the State of Israel, and in Jerusalem they reached the conclusion that there is no peace partner in Damascus.
0 commentsUzi Benziman
The man who so recklessly made the decision to go to war is continuing to make unsound decisions now that it has ended, as well.
0 commentsA month ago, Haaretz ran a sensational story on its front page: Reporter Nadav Shragai gave a detailed description of the findings of a Peace Now report, which said that close to 40 percent of the land under the control of West Bank settlements is privately owned by Palestinians.
0 commentsWhat the public saw this week was not a sophisticated diplomatic maneuver but rather yet another demonstration of the prime minister's amateurishness. After proving in July that he is trigger-happy, in December he has moved his finger closer to the button as well.
0 commentsThe ease with which the cabinet and the General Staff drag the country into war, or in any case, instill an atmosphere of siege, is worrisome.
0 commentsThe Green Line is a fact that cannot be erased. It exists in every dimension of life in Israel - even if MK Zevulun Orlev rather not see it that way.
0 commentsIsrael must minimize the area in which the Zionist character of the state is expressed, and maximize the area of equal rights required by Israel's democratic character.
0 commentsThe High Court of Justice had its say about the way the conduct of the government and of the army should be investigated with regard to second Lebanon war.
0 commentsIsrael has a different national stamp. As opposed to American professionalism, Israel has fostered the ethos of the off-the-cuff solution. As opposed to blind obedience to procedures, Israel has raised the banner of creativity.
0 commentsOnly Barak knows why he so ardently desires to be at the forefront of the conflict with the Palestinians and to stick his hand in the snake pit of Israeli politics.
0 commentsGaydamak seems to be undermining the existing system; the question is if Israeli democracy can protect itself from him.
0 commentsGaydamak's statements ostensibly show his intention to enter the political arena and to build himself up on the gifts he hands out to his potential voters.
0 commentsOlmert is conducting the sensitive dialogue with Iran in a rather puzzling way. Even when he has no reason to shoot, but can make do with talk, one must know how to do it.
0 commentsAlmog identified a central failure at the command level of the division, which led to unacceptable results: It failed to meet its missions. Were a professional to assess the conduct of the police leadership in Jerusalem last week, he would have to reach a similar conclusion: They failed unacceptably in their role.
0 commentsWhich other parties will join the proposal after the prime minister gave it the character of a political conspiracy hatched behind their back?
0 commentsClose to three months after the country's leadership announced it was victorious in Lebanon, it also declared its goals have been achieved in the Gaza Strip. Apparently the citizens of Israel can do nothing but accept the claims.
0 commentsThe Deri case, in which a minister was tried and convicted of criminal offenses, should act as a precedent for the current investigations against Olmert.
0 commentsThe accountant general, Yaron Zelekha, is a man whose people skills are not the most developed. Those who know him describe him as arrogant, stubborn, self-confident, lacking in collegiality, and often unable to differentiate between what is important and what is not.
0 commentsThe expected outcome of the Labor central committee's vote to authorize its remaining in the government is yet another expression, a more blatant one than before, of the death of ideology in the Israeli political experience.
0 commentsIt is not by chance that Lieberman favors a presidential system in a country without a constitution, and in which the minority living in it is a candidate for expulsion from its borders.
0 commentsTo escape a credible external examination of his conduct and the functioning of the bodies under his authority during the Lebanon war, Olmert became entangled in a frenzy of actions, motivating the High Court to demand that within five days he explain why a state committee of inquiry should not be established.
0 commentsIsrael Defense Forces Chief of Staff Dan Halutz emerges from the interviews he gave on the eve of Yom Kippur as a person shorn of his strength.
0 commentsThe way things stand now, the right question is not whether Israel has a partner, but rather whether Israel itself is a partner.
0 commentsOne fine day, Olmert announced that his realignment plan was no longer on the agenda. With a few words, he erased the hope that he had breathed into large segments of the public and reneged on his promises.
0 commentsThe clash between Israeli Jews and Arabs' views on the war rekindles the question on whether the two communities can continue to live together on the basis of their single common denominator - a shared civil society.

second pregnancy how soon did u know?
oct 21,2010 baby boy :)
I knew a month after I missed my period. I didn't share it with people until I was in my second trimester. I did find out the sex because my SIL was pregnant with a boy and had a girl so we wanted to see if we could switch clothing. It worked out that we were able to.
oct 21,2010 baby boy :)
1st - I was totally clueless until about 7 weeks. Never shared the news because I lost that one.
2nd - I could tell at 5 weeks. Shared the news after first OB appointment at 8 weeks but ended up having a MMC... D&C and misoprostol at 13 weeks
3rd - I could tell 10 days post-ovulation. Swore that I wasn't going to tell anyone until the second trimester but ended up sharing the news when I found out at 7 weeks that it was twins.
Peter Thien arrived 7/13/10 at 27 weeks, 5 days.
Uterine septum resected 7/28/11. Singleton due 3/26/15.

oct 21,2010 baby boy :)
2nd, I knew at 4 weeks, two days after missed period. I was prepared for the frustration of missing the period and negative tests, but nope, that thing lit up like a light bulb! I had no symptoms until about 6 weeks, when my boobs felt like they were being ripped off my chest when my Oct. boy was nursing. We told family at about 9 weeks.
Dh is a major planner and couldn't stand not finding out sex with both the kids. I would have been happy waiting to find out with the second, because we were already half prepared, and didn't plan on buying lots of new stuff, except clothes if it was a girl. But dh got his way.
oct 21,2010 baby boy :)
DS is my surviving twin. We lost baby A fairly early in the pregnancy. My uterus likes to kill babies, unfortunately.
Sorry, I probably should have kept the details of my obstetric history to myself, but I just thought it was interesting how I could tell I was pregnant so much earlier with each pregnancy. My periods are irregular, so I waited until I had symptoms to test with each pregnancy. If you feel pregnant and got a faint positive, you probably are pregnant. Congrats!
Peter Thien arrived 7/13/10 at 27 weeks, 5 days.

oct 21,2010 baby boy :)
This pregnancy I had mild nausea for 3 days in a row starting at about 8dpo. I was getting BFNs but I knew I was.
We will be finding out the sex, DH would never let us go team green :) Plus if it's a boy we will need new clothes but we've got all the big stuff gender-neutral.
I told my family at 6 weeks. I would've liked to wait until we saw the hb but I wanted to tell them in person and we visited last weekend. We will be telling DHs family at thanksgiving if all goes well at my appointment on Thursday .

Hemorrhoids are a result of increased pressure on the veins in the pelvic and rectal area. As pressure increases, blood pools in veins and causes them to swell. Veins can swell inside the anal canal to form internal hemorrhoids, or they can swell near the opening of the anus to form external hemorrhoids. Eventually, the swollen veins stretch the surrounding tissue, and hemorrhoids develop.
Common causes of hemorrhoids include:
• Constipation—This may be due to a lack of fiber in the diet, or possibly medications such as iron supplements commonly found in OTC vitamins.
• Heredity—Hemorrhoids commonly run in families; a heredity component is commonly seen with hemorrhoids.
• Lack of dietary fiber intake—Dietary fiber such as fresh fruits and vegetables are essential to preventing constipation and anorectectal problems. 25-30 grams of fiber is recommended each day, which is the equivalent of three tablespoons of wheat germ or unprocessed bran (psyllium seed).
• Inadequate fluid intake—A minimum of eight, 8 ounces of liquid is also recommended to maintain a healthy colon.
• Pregnancy and labor—Hormonal changes during pregnancy increase blood flow to the pelvis and relax supportive tissues while the growing fetus causes increased pressure on blood vessels. During labor, hemorrhoids may develop because of the intense pressure on the anal area while pushing to deliver the baby.
• Medical conditions—For example, long-term heart and liver disease may cause blood to pool in the abdomen and pelvic area, enlarging the veins.

Read an article lately that made me realize I was rowing my own boat while the LDS church was drilling holes in my boat of life!!!

Making the choice to leave the Mormon church has made me realize that life has more meaning. Choices and changes don't seem that hard or that bad as once viewed in my own head when I was a member of the LDS church. "For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction." Those still in the Mormon church seem to know all…

I'm somewhat struck this week by how widely embraced are the magical concepts woven into the fabric of Mormonism.
My siblings, in an effort to shepherd me back into the one true fold, (bless their little hearts) thought, if they could just expose me again to this magic perhaps I might just slide back under its spell.…

I remember this talk and it rang so true. It made sense that the church is a temporary thing. The liars and cheats called apostles and prophets made Elder Poelman redo the talk to an empty conference center and then they edited out and replaced brainwashing ideas from their Big Brother message into the Ensign and archives. For me I am sure that my brain latched onto the original…

Do you remember that children's story "The Emperor's New Clothes", where the swindlers tricked the emperor and everyone in the village into saying they saw the fictional fabric? Everyone, including the emperor himself, was so afraid of looking like a dumb-ass that they all went along with what everybody else said they saw. "Oh yes, such beautiful fabric!" In reality they were ALL idiots, because not a single solitary one of them ever bothered to speak their minds when they…

Although religion is not specifically what was intended behind the meaning of this song when REM released it, I have been dwelling on many of the lyrics of late. As REM says in part "Oh life, ...

Long story short, I immersed myself in study of the OT and reached the only obvious and honest conclusion: that god is insane, hell no I don't respect that jerk, let alone worship his sorry ass.

Honestly, when I married my dear husband many years ago, I thought I got such a bonus with his family.
I'm not LDS. But the majority of my in-law family were strongly-practicing Mormons, in spite of the fact that the man I fell deeply in love with (their son/brother/cousin/uncle) was non-practicing and non-believing. He had wisdom!

1. "We believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet and revelator who talked to God." Are you kidding me? In 1820 Joseph picks up a rock which he then convinces people he can use to find buried treasure. He puts the rock in a hat and then buries his head in the hat to see visions. What a wonder that he found no gold, but later stumbled onto a set of golden plates.

The lens was Pentax 67 105mm F/2.4 and no cropping.
Printable View
The film advance "problem" is a weakness of design. It's plastic-against-metal and does wear out over time, albeit not helped by aggressive winding. Pentax makes a point of winding on in one smooth continuous and firm stroke, no jerking or yanking or broken stroke. There are many tiny moving parts in that mechanism and just one needs to break before there is no winding action at all — there is so much interdependence under the skin. Somewhere online is an Engineering and Service Manual for the Pentax 6x7 and 67 bodies which gives you an idea what service folk were up against. The winding mechanism weakness is purported to have been addressed in the modernised (67ii) bodies. As with everything, how you treat it will determine how well you service it. It's a nice kit indeed. The 55mm f4 is the absolute standout in what you have. The 67ii will likely make a better job of exposures shot with a polariser; with the 6x7 and 67 bodies, polarised shots are best manually metered.
I agree with all the above. When I was in my camera dealing days the main problem I would see with 67 and 6X7 Pentax cameras that people wanted to swap/trade/sell was the battery power situation or next inline was the wind problem. Knock on wood, I have never had a problem with either of my bodies, but one does and has had from the day I bought it, a slight "click" noise at the end of the winding stroke. It has no effect on spacing, but it always bothers me. Knowing that makes me be well aware to advance in one long smooth stroke. I don't know what the last version of the 55mm is like, but if it is better than my second version it must be outstanding 'cause the second version I have is very, very good. Truth is I haven't run into any "dogs" in all the lenses I have and I really haven't heard of to many people complain about bad lenses or worse yet, lens variation. I guess Pentax had a good QC program. I bet in a very short while you'll be adding more lenses and if you watch they do turn up with very fair prices also. Have fun, JohnW

Thanks Steve. All shoot were handholding the camera. I'm learning on how the camera delivers in different situations and adjust the technique based on the keepers. I adjusted the camera strap to the length were it works really well as a tripod. I carry the camera on my left side with the strap resting on my right shoulder. I just grab the camera with my right hand to the eye level, and the strap locks perfectly. I use my left palm as a base while focusing. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but it works great for me.

A must read.....
I ran across this in another forum I read. It suposedly came from Glocktalk originally but it's a recount of a defenesive shooting were the victim took two lives and the aftermath he had to deal with. Seriuos stuff. Some of you have probably seen it but it gives excelent insight into what you may have to deal with I think....

Very good read Todd. Killing a human being no matter how savage or thug they are affects your mind. Pumping lead into a gang member is like signing a death warrant. The guy is lucky to be alive. Glad he is.

This story really can help to make you think twice about using lethal force. If it can be avoided at all, that's the best way to go. It's best to force the attacker to run away, or lie down and wait for the police but of course sometimes the criminal gives you no choice.
I'm lucky. When I got attacked by two carjackers/robbers in a parking lot, I saw them coming and quickly got into my car and locked the door before they got to me. They then went for my friend who was still outside. I ended up backing over both of them with my car as my friend jumped in. No police were ever contacted and to this day I still don't know what heppened to them and I don't care. And about anti-gun girlfriends, I have promised myself I will never date a woman who doesn't like guns. I hope I don't stay single for the rest of my life but that's a chance I will take. __________________ ...the doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.-MARYLAND CONSTITUTION-DECLARATION OF RIGHTS Art. 6 Gun Control!

Good post, i just started carrying again after many years not. I just had a talk with my wife (who is a good shot) about what to do if something bad happens. Run, use your phone to get help, find people and I will be fine.
I was lucky as I grew up, I always had a policeman with me, my father. He taught me to shoot, some retention skills, self defense, and what people are capable of. I really like the lawyer idea, maybe we could get a 2A pro CCW laywer sticky stared on MS? Glad you are ok, keep safe. __________________ I need more stuff........... |

Albeit democracy also means change, it is furthermore a means of showing one's satisfaction with the government and thus changing it. As contentedness was(until recently) high in Bavaria, the voters there only wanted these policies to continue. The CSU was a solid party without problems until Edmund Stoiber withdraw, from then on it was a bunch of more or less unsystematic, unqualified politicians.
Bavarian society is not a liberal one, but blimpish, reactionary one. So it remains uncertain whether the coalition with the FDP wil be a sstable and active one.
It has come to me through the grapevine that the "enraged innkeepers" of Bavaria refused to let CSU use their halls and rooms for their rallies and meetings in protest against the smoking ban thus not helping them to gain votes.Eamonn FerrryInnkeeper Ettlingen Germany
If any party 'rules' for so many decades, you start wondering if the people are literate enough to vote. After all democracy means change. This conservative province of Germany, may be richer, but still a political dwarf.
I find kind of sad, in a nostalgic way, that the CSU lost its majority. In Bavaria its more than a party, the CSU was seen as a kind of "way of life". However, I feel that after 50 years they have let it go to their head and their policies forgot the people which they are to serve. I feel that this may be a good thing for Bavaria in the long term, a coalition with the FDP may let the nation see that a christian democratic-liberal coalition works. That may revel in the minds of Germans come election time.
It's always good to have FDP in any [German] political coalition force. Their pro-market policies and civil liberties attention is much needed in states where conservatism reigns supreme.
