gold and higher: melee: (x-x damage/+x allSkills) casters and non blowpipe snipers: x% chance for half regeneration time 20% less regen from combat discipline mastery turns a 10s CA into a 8s one. 20% less regen from combat discipline mastery together with 100% chance to halve turns the 10s into a 3s one. So a 2s shooting ca is at 0.6s = spammable without regneration per hit! Reg per hit will only trigger at the hit, so there is this flight time (and possible lag if no local server) which you would have to wait. For a caster: the base damage comes with ca-level. So with 100% halving you can read in the runes freeing space in sockets.

The best diet is often: Buy 7 of 8 weeks only at farmer markets and a butcher/fisher. At least the markets here don't sell salt, sugar, ... You can buy small pieces for a single person because the food isn't in tins. Invite a neighbour or friends if your recipe is for 2 or more. Some recipes only taste good if they are done in a big enough amount. But don't do them if you are allone. People often eat less in presence of people who not belong to family. Use up the leftovers for other recipes This way it is more probable that your body gets all the minerals and proteins because you are not picking just the food you like. Also it is better for environment and it is a good feeling not to waste food if somewhere else people are starving. Try out as many new recipes and vegs as possible: you eat slower if you try to understand what the recipe for your meal is and how the components work together.

11.11. at 11:11 the carneval season starts in germany. So trained yesterday evening some folk and fun songs with the fire fighter band. Will cover this one for example: And yes there is a tuba

A patient of my wife had heavy overweight. The reason was that he moved from a physical active outdoor job to a desktop job while keeping his old appetit it seems. Diets were of no great use, if you hate them they won't work. So his wife asked my wife what to do. The next weekend she did a real good meal, but she said that would be the last one ever if he wouldn't answer what herbs, work and ideas she put in. So he had to chew slow and carefully to get all the fine tastes. First it was just weekends at home, then his wife said that with all the money wasted on diets he could also eat something real good at a real restaurant instead the work cantine and he should write down what he thinks how the recipes for the meals there would be so she could reproduce them at home. Took a year, he is almost his old weight again, they bought a restaurant book with coupons for 2 for the price of one for about 60 restaurants in the area, one coupon per restaurant, price for the bookl is 30 euro. Every Friday they visit another restaurant to get different tastes. So another reason for the bad fast food may be: it is always the same, no reason for slow chewing to get all the tastes.

As far as I know: If you are stopped by police while driving a car and wear the glasses in power on mode it won't be good. In germany holding a phone is already not allowed at driving and I think this won't be either. I like the headup display at my car and having car info shown should be allowed IMUO (in my unholy opinion).

It is listed as 'caution' in my firefighter papers? Even the dosis needed to show harmful effect to mice and rats is never reached in normal eating, people are no rats and it are bacteria who do the digesting. So 'caution' is normally when not enough research is done. And firefighter papers are for unusual using too: like a barrel of it damaged at an accident and breathing the powder. It is listened as: try to collect as much as possible at an accident scene. It won't rot and water plants can't filter it out. So countryside people which use small lakes for water clearing may have the problem that the concentration of the stuff will never drop but climb and climb if everyone is using it. That is the dilemma of the modern food industry: long time researches need decades and a patent might have timed out when the researches are over. I see these cautions more and more recently. So the reading is: using the dosis which the company allows might be harmless. But the company didn't research other effects and listed it as potential risc to avoid law suits by suffering firefighters and water plant embloyees ?

Boiling temperature should be enough if the heat reached the inside: Pig feet with Sauerkraut

Perhaps some people noticed that I wasn't I ninternet for a while: a heavy autumn storm with around 140km/h hit our place. Branches disrupted telephon and power for 4 days. Power wasn't that much of a problem since I have a nice diesel emergency power unit. A tree blocket the main road to the village. The car of my wife got destroyed by an accident. She was last in the line of cars just on the other side of an hill. Even a warning triangles were placed on the other side of hill a truck was noticing them too late and couldn't brake early enough. No damage to people but 2 cars damaged. The people were smart enough to wait away from the road. The VW Lupo of my wife was beyond reasonable repair costs for the age of the car. The car had to be replaced quickly. Yesterday I was at a sale by court of a bankrupt car repair service. The new VW Golf I wanted was too expensive so I offered for a Polo..I was a bit surprised that I got it for 5800 Euro. The Polo was in fact a Polo Cup Edition and that desinteressed the women in search for a cheap family car. The only other people beside me were 2 boys with not much money. The owner told me all the changes he did and was puzzled when I told him that it would be the car for my wife. A nice 6.6 horsepower by kilogramm ratio because the little beast has chip tuning and 195 horsepowers. Some strongening of the car body, torsion bar suspension, All this stuff which made the women at the auction doing no offers. He said the car would be made for mountain racing and I told him that this is exactly the driving style of my wife https://www.volkswagen-media-services.com/en/detailpage/-/detail/The-Polo-GTI-Cup-Edition/view/106398/7642409b1784b0f381071aa4b1555bc4?p_p_auth=vrX8KGI2 Got a big kiss from my wife when arriving.

Yes SW is probably easiest to start. Which character type would you do if the goal is to play a single character through all difficulties from start and not getting bored: so which character is tjhe best chamaeleon. Melee, ranged, caster, ... all in one character.

Debuff type: DM maelstrom Elf : dispel magic Dryad. : this vodoo curse ... Tower types: stationary autofiring things

Was at france for 3 days. Combined a business trip with visiting our oldest daughter who is studying at a university in france: unloaded 3 suitcases with winter clothes, loaded 3 duffel bags with summer clothes. Managed to trigger an alarm at university, didn't know they filtered air to detect explosives, carrying a duffel bag on each shoulder didn't help either. Wondered why they stopped me when walking out and not when in *puzzle*. Probably I was sweating when walking out and that released some nanagramm of the explosives from work ? At least I could do a nice talk with the security chief at a good glas of wine.

The question popped up when our second now14 year old daughter asked how a new player would best start. She was used to the family bargainer chain, the family smith and full common chests when she started playing sacred2. Most of the characters we played were builds to test out what is possible: unarmed characters without x% life leech, maximum ca-range characters, .... All this are character which need carefully selected equipment. She never played a character which had to live from just what it finds. So she started a new character while being at hospital for 2 weeks. She played a seraphim from scratch: no common chest, no bargainer chain, no family smith.... She is now level 105 in niob and she said she did the character so that every 20-30 levels the playstyle would be different. Attached a screenshot of this character after finishing silver at level 41 without deaths. She said it would be nice if there would be a list with the character guides which would indicate how good a guide is replayable by a new player. From my 'guides': Sohei:possible, RegPerHit equipment and a weapon with x% lifeleech should be possible to be found while still in silver. Melee-elf: possible: same as sohei Kungfu Dryads: Detheya set for x% life leech needed! Hardcore-single aspect DM Mentalist: if not hardcore, no special equipment needed, using a weapon with reg per hit in beginning. The full ca-range later on was needed to level with a decent speed at level 170+ So see this thread to post which guides you would consider newbie friendly, as for being a first character.

I had a bit of searching: I will buy one with a graphic card which can be switched on on demand and if not needed the mainboard one will do the minor graphic work. So having the number cruncher (graphic card) only active if maths are needed: Image processing and games. While searching for the one PC which perfectly fits: I bought 5 (better prices) Raspberries for controlling. 2 are for a collegue and I have still 3. So these cheap computers stay in place. One is permanently at my wood working machine, another is currently tested to play with LEGO mindcraft elements for a school project I am more and more the opinion that I should have kept all 5: my collegue uses one of his ones as a fully programmable internet radio receiver.

The combat art mastery description is confusing: it is not the 20% regeneration time as normal , but rather that the 20% are applied after all other normal reg-time calculations. It seems really be a move of the hands.

Don't know for your place: roasted quinces with sheep done in a tajine is often served at moroccan or tunesian restaurants here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tajine The recipes are quite similiar: venison instead lamb, Römertopf (roman clay pot) instead tajine, ... http://moroccanfood.about.com/od/beeflambandgoatrecipes/r/quince_tagine.htm Most of the clay pot recipes are as old as the roman legions being west of the rhine.

Our 14 years old was used to have a full chest and the family smith when playing Sacred2. While at hospital she decided to do a character on a fresh install, ice and blood and CM-patch. It was a Seraphim which looked different to all guides. She said she just adapted the character to the stuff she was finding: At the start she modified combat alert in a defensive way, not knowing which weapon types she will be finding. Then the light buff was added to hunt undeads and t-energy beasts. One t-energy orc champion near the octopus dropped a yellow sword. no sockets and useless modifiers except one - x% life leech. This was the point she added technic lore and put 9 points into it to modify archangels sword with 2 explosions for growd control. Then she was boosting just combat discipline and concentration. She wanted the energy shield when approaching platinum (concentration mastery) and combat discipline because it added damage to all 3 aspects. The reg time was lowered by reg per hit items. .... She did a little diary and it was funny how different a first character is to a character which is started with a chain of bargainers and a niob smith.

Yes I don't use concentration if I use just 1 buff. Combat discipline is a bit more complicated. For my mages(casters) it is a certain yes yes yes yes. For a fighter: bargaining or alchemy might be better. So why this yes yes yes for a caster: I like to use 100% halve regeneration time (starting gold diff) on my casters. The base damage for a caster comes from a high ca-level. So I read in every rune. This normally shoots regeneration times into real big heights. To counter this I use halve regeneration time. So instead 100% reg time it is only 50%. So the regeneration clock starts at 50%. Now we add combat disciplin: If the spell is in a combination the clock will start around 1 o clock. With Mastery it is already 2. Half regeneration time will start at 6. So what if we have half regeneration time and combat discipline mastery? The clock adds 6+2 is 8. The reg time clock starts around 8. So I have just one third of the normal reg time. But a warning: cool down only starts when all regen is done, master regeneration system and more spells in a combination are more complicated. But with a bit of experimenting you should be able to reproduce the trick. There are two ways to reduce reg time: Speeding the clock: x% reg time items, combat art focus, stamina, ... Moving the hands of the clock: chance for halve regeneratiin time, combat discipline and combat discipline mastery and Regeneration per Hit Is this in the Wiki already?

Hmmm. You ever tried quinces? Jamie Oliver: http://www.jamieoliver.com/magazine/recipes-view.php?title=beef-aamp-quince-stew

Sunday we will have saddle of venison with slices of quinces in a clay pot. Oranges aren't local here so I do the traditional quinces and pears. The poor thing had two legs smashed after a truck hit it yesterday.

Some sets unlock more modifiers or slots at higher levels, bronze set item may have one socket while it are two at gold... Sets are useful for set bonuses like x% lifeleech, +x% ca-range, .... Stuff you won't find on yellows

After some rainy days: sun. And with the sun noises in the sky. Minutes later thousands cranes flying south. Took a break in garden work and called at the house for the kids to watch them.

Since I am the mayor (civic leader?) of our small 127 people village I was invited to the district meeting yesterday evening. The main discussion was about the outdated water supply in most of the villages (our house is even not connected to one, we have a fountain). The old water pipes are concrete and big in diametre. So sediments can settle on the inside. Modern pipes are less in diametre, metal, ... Less sediments and less risc of bacteria. Sounds all good, but then I asked a stupid(?) question: what is the waterflow per minute in such a pipe and I was told 800litres per minute. Given that each of our firefighter pumps do 1000-1200l a minute it was obvious that there would be a problem... Never ask stupid questions.... You will be the one who is chosen to find a solution for firefighters and calculating the costs.... And doing it before the 2014 household is at district parliament in mid november. My first idea was a modern modular concept with higher costs first but less in the longrun. Placing 10000l containers with water at important places and buy 3-4 more container trucks. We have one already at our department: and containers for chemical accidents, floods (most used), first aid station,... So if there is a concert in a 2000 people tent we just bring the first aid container for the duration of the concert and have the truck free for other uses. Same for floods: we leave the container with the 8 pumps and the power unit at a central place and drive the truck away for another container, mainly an empty container to pump dirty and oily waste water in. Now we seem to need: some containers with water and trucks for them or cisterns or water reservoirs, higher number than containers because they are not mobile or a fleet of water tankers trucks, which only have a single use and eat maintainance and room at a department or stay at the old big diametre water pipes,but 80% of the pipes had to be replaced anyway and bigger diametre new ones are more expensive and need more maintainanc, add the bigger health risc or someone comes with a clever solution I have not in my mind yet. Big towns have lot of money, paid firefighters, ... Anyone knowing a good solution for smaller countryside villages?

There will be a vinyl party at my old school this weekend. Everyone has to bring some old LP (vinyl) for the music. No CD's or tapes allowed. Searched a bit and found: The Nits: Walking on the Dutch Mountains It seems people in the netherlands are speaking of hills as soon their cows have dry feet and mountains as soons a house has a second floor? I was born in a valley of bricks Where the river runs high above the rooftops. I was waiting for the cars coming home late at night - From the Dutch mountains. I was standing in a valley of rock Up to my belly in an early fog. I was looking for the road to a green painted house - In the Dutch mountains. In the Dutch mountains - mountains -. I met a woman in a valley of stone She was painting roses on the walls of her hame. And the moon is a coin with the head of the queen - Of the Dutch mountains; in the Dutch mountains. I lost a button of my shirt today It fell on the ground and it was rolling away. Like a trail leading me back to the Dutch mountains To the Dutch mountains, mountains I met a miller on the back of a cow He was looking for the wind but he didn't know how. I said: "Follow the cloud that looks like a sheep" In the Dutch mountains in the Dutch mountains In the Dutch mountains in the Dutch mountains. Mountains mountains mountains mountains mountains Buildings buildings buildings buildings mountains

Stormy weather which blowed a lot of leaves on the streets yesterday. -3Celcius at 6am so the leaves were frozen and created an unpredictable mass on the street. So I said to my daughter that I will bring her to school in town instead doing it with her bicycle. I am used to stop 500metres away from school so I didn't have to pass the traffic jam their twice on my way to work. I was totally puzzled that the moment she left the car a garage opened. A mother of a classmate asked if she should drive my daughter together with her son to school. My daughter said the boy is totally healthy... 500metres with a car,.... it was cold but sun started to appear.... The mother has to open the garage, drive through the traffic jam twice, close the garage, ... Alone the garage opening should be 100m walk, the preparing to drive with key searching and such another 100m, driving in a traffic jam is by no means quicker than walking, ... Only kid I heard ... the boy is 14 and not 4.

I excluded reading as being a hobby because: in the few time I have I try to read foreign books in their original languages to train my language skills. My brother lives 400metres away from europes biggest library of Fantasy and SciFi books, more than 40000books. Each visit at his place and my daughter takes 10 books for 4 weeks. Well she has like 3 hours in bus and train each day. Currently she is reading the Gem-Trology from the german author Kerstin Gier: Ruby Red, Sapphire Blue, Emerald Green. http://us.macmillan.com/rubyred/KerstinGier She says it is very good so far, reading near the end of the second book.
