If Holy Shield drops and Holy Freeze buff was active Holy Freeze will drop too. At least none of my builds uses all 3 buffs in Blessed Defense tree. So the dropping effect could be moved to one of the other two buffs. I wonder what except 3 different spells.txt has to be changed.

Waited till nice shadows when clouds opened and usin a red filter on my Leica M5 with 2.0 50mm Summicron.

Guitar -> Zither
The main reason that everyone in my family canplay an acoustic guitar is campfires. When our third was four I bought a very ruined zither for learning. My brother on visit recognized it as a very rare old orchestra zither and convinced me to pay 600 Euro for restoration. The fun part is thati paid only 100 at a garage sale. Auctions are around 5000 Euro for one in good shape.
Our third prefers the Zither over a guitar at campfires, parties, ... She is really good on the electric zither.

instinct -> Hindenburg
The Doehner family was on the Hindenburg. Mother instinct let them act quicker and reduces pain...
QuoteSuddenly the air was on fire,' Doehner said.
'We were close to a window, and my mother took my brother and threw him out. She grabbed me and fell back and then threw me out,' he said.
'She tried to get my sister, but she was too heavy, and my mother decided to get out by the time the zeppelin was nearly on the ground.'
'I remember lying on the ground, and my brother told me to get up and to get out of there.' Their mother joined them and asked a steward to get her daughter, whom he carried out of the burning wreckage.
No doc understood how the mother could reach her boys after the jump, broken hip, badly burned,...

risk -> mother
Mothers are so dangerous. When I was 11 I visited a school mid in farmlands. In biology classes we learned about farm animals: don#t approach a cow with a newborn, she will attack, a horse tries to run, a donkey rather attacks, a goat attacks, a sheep will try to block, geese strike with wings may break an arm, ...
We have 20 goats to keep bushes low. They have 5 newborns, And famílies with kids walk there to watch them. Some are so stupid and enter the fence to get closer...

Have to do a drive to Frankfurt airport to pickup some people for the new year party. Hope no delays so I will be back 9pm and can still help with preparing. Won't lock in for a day, so happy new year to all who already have it and to all who still have to wait.
Don#t know which traditions you have, we do a 1500 person tent on top of the hill between 5 villages, drive our firefighter trucks to the place and do a big party with friends and family, Short after new year we sing beethoven's 9th (ode to joy). But not as in opera , more focus on the word joy.

monopoly -> bad loser
Told the kids to show no merci when playing against bad losers (Leaving the room, crying, mainly kids without siblings, ...) But why should my kids don't play as best as they can? If someone is not experienced with a strategy game they play slowly and give hints. But a game like Mensch ärgere dich nicht (Heh, don't get angry) which is luck with dices, noone should be aggressive when losing, it is just luck.

disconcerting -> mother nature

The bows showing towards the vortex? I would exspect the ships to steer away.
mother nature -> dating
In summer breaks my family was at nearby lake for swimming. We watched some girls who were at the opponent shore obviously not aware of the under current there. They weren't reacting to shouts so my son and me were swimming to warn them. He was fast as a torpedo. When he visited the new school after breaks one of the girls was in his new class...
The undercurrent in our case is caused by a very cold rivelet running into the lake where the stone shore ls in hot midday sun The bestplace for sunbathing is where the rivelet enters, but it is also the most dangerous for swimming.

sauna -> whirlpool
House is under cultural heritage so I can't build one into the house or the old barn. Was building another sauna - smaller but with a whirlpool - outside from do it yourself kits. Last Fassssauna/barrel sauna was put on a trailer and sold without loss.

mince -> Brätknödelsuppe
A soup with dumplings from Brät and some soup pearls. Brät is really fine cut pork, way finer than mince. Normally used for sausages like lyoner.

leftovers -> Mettbrötchen
We usually do a big party into the new year with neighbour firefighters on a hill mid between the villages. Lot of Mettbrötchen, sausages, sour bread, ...
Adding vinegar and spices the leftovers will make a good soup, warming while doing the cleanup after the party.

Ground Mustard, Cumin, Curry, Smoked Paprika, Celery Salt, and Cayenne -> rutabaga
Potato, rutabaga, carots cut in cubes. Add water (if a wanting a soup, no for a stew) pepper, no salt. We lay cured pork in it which has enough salt. All slowly boiled in the field kitchen. Parsley before serving. Nice food at this cold, rain and stormy weather. Enough for most of the village which helps to decorate the church for x-mas and new year.

My day: I've had a little adventure lately. The TL;DR version is I now have two aquariums; one for Tetra and one for several types of catfish.
The longer version: I learned that my youngest is in charge of feeding the classroom fish and loves it; these are the types of things I like to know! These are the things I want to hear when I ask "how was your day?" The deal with Connor is that he has too much pride to let me know that he really likes something, and I have no clue why; he lives in a house where joy and silliness and creativity are encouraged; much different than the household I grew up in.
Anyway, we got a little five gallon tank with two red eye Tetra (Jethro and Merle), one black skirt Tetra (Bubba) and one long-fin black skirt Tetra (Cletus). Their names are a little joke between my wife and I, bc she said that the last name I came up with for a family pet was a little redneck. My retort was "Redneck? Baby doll, you forget where I grew up, you ain't seen Nothing yet!" So, Bubba, Cletus, Merle and Jethro became new members of the family.
Bubba was bigger than everyone else, and knew darn well that he was alpha fish; that happens, I've seen that before. But Bubba went way above and beyond; swimming in the middle of the tank and pushing everyone else in their own little sections. He very much reminded me of one of those old men who yell at the kids to stay off his grass. I upgraded to a ten gallon, thinking that more space would alleviate the problem. However, it made Bubba a bigger butt, he darn well ensured that everyone stayed in their own designated areas. He never hurt anyone; I accidentally killed Merle. I know you're supposed to give fish only what they can eat in a two minute span, but do you know how much Tetras can eat? Every meal was like a feeding frenzy; I'm not used to that. I used to have some mollies; gentle, calm, docile little guys. So; Merle ended up eating way too much, got swim bladder disease, and died. That majorly bummed poor little Jethro out. I didn't know that fish got upset when their buddies died. Cletus also died; I have no clue why. One day, he was swimming just fine, the next day he was stuck to the filter. So, Jethro sat at his end of the tank, and Bubba stayed on his side, for months. The family decided that it was too depressing watching two fish just stare at each other. I had the kids do research and call fish stores, because I knew darn well that they'd get the max number of fish that a ten gallon tank could comfortably hold. So, they got a new buddy for Jethro (Slim), two bloodfin Tetra (Beavis and butthead) two Bronze Corydora (Unnamed bc they're too young to tell their gender), and two still-unnamed otocinclus. This was kind of a life lesson for me. Bubba couldn't keep everyone in line anymore. Now that Jethro got a new buddy, he got bolder and stood his ground when Bubba chased him. The bloodfins wouldn't tolerate being bullied and would Chase Bubba if he even got close. No one really messed with the Oto, I'm not sure why. And those two tiny little Corydora? It's impossible to chase something when it constantly stops to play and forage; those Cory are a hoot. So, having lost control, Bubba stressed out and died. When I removed him, every one of those fish started playing. I had no clue that Oto even played; I thought they just kind of stuck to glass most of the time. But this was a lesson for me. At 44, I'm not old enough to be the old man of the tank yet, but when my time comes, I do NOT want to be the grumpy old guy in slippers yelling at the neighborhood kids, the guy who everyone lets out a sigh of relief when he passes so everyone can start playing again. Dad says it's inevitable, but I'm going to do my absolute best to struggle against that. The wife has permission to give me a swift kick to the nethers if I ever get too persnickety.
I also learned that I'm a big ole softie, which is why we now have two tanks. I was the only one who liked Bubba; he'd come up and get eye to eye with me when he saw me. However, the kids took that opportunity to get two juvenile Panda Corydora; Dean and Patty. I was a little worried about Patty; she just didn't have the energy that Corydora generally do. I got a phone call; the kids found Patty dead and poor Dean's dorsal fin was shredded. So, I watched the tank. Beavis and Butthead turned nastier than Bubba ever was, and encouraged Jethro and Slim to be nasty, too. Others might flush problem fish, but I can't. I bought a stand wide and sturdy enough to handle two tanks, and my four Tetras can all be butts together without hurting any of the gentle guys. Of course heaven help a spot be vacant in our house, so I come home to find two new Panda Cory and one long-finned Panda. I can't yell, because it did make me smile to see Dean so excited that he has new playmates. But that's it! 8 catfish in a tank is plenty, and no one new is going in the Tetra tank.
So, that's my story of how a five gallon tank of four Tetra turned into a ten gallon tank of tetra and an additional ten gallon tank of our catfish nation.
Aquariums can be quite time eating. Dad had a big salt water one. We have a 5*1,5*1 metres at firefighters, filled with local stuff from the rivelet. I try to keep great diving beetles away from my fish ponds. So I breed the beetle and release them away from the ponds. Also breeding noble crayfish. I release the breed to renature them.
We had and have a heavy storm. For pocket-money Twins are selling x-mas trees for being chopped by families. Luckily the families phone in advance and ask if the foerst is save.

Did my annual x-mas gift to the world: 4th blood donation for this year. I have a sort of universal blood: 0- with most of the extra antigenes also negative.
For the paramedic training: I think everyone should have at least the base training with 6 weekends. Often the first minutes count. Have at least a paramedic emergency remote app on your phone. Call 112,911, or what ever number is at your place. The dispatcher may ask if he is allowed to have remote access to your phone. Mainly the camera to see injuries and giving advice what to do till the meds arrive.

Ciao Chattius! I work with a lot of germans during summer, I live close to Tropea, it is always so nice to see them happy when visiting my homeland!!!
I'm a classic gamer, not looking for mods or extra guides, anyway I guess that just with a search on this site I will find anything I need.
I never was more south in Italy than Rome. My grandgrandma was from Merano and we still have and use some of her recipes from time to time. Aren't some red onions named after Tropea? Some spaghetti boiled in a sauce with onions? Phoned a friend who runs a restaurant and was a former chief cook on a research vessel travelling the world. Says
Spaghetti risottati cremosi alla Cipolla di Tropea :)

I fear it was a mistake to show her how to carve easy flutes from elderberries when she was 6. She always didn't only want to know how to play an instrument but also understand it. The discs in the drums need some maths if you want clear tunes. Most use blueprints and just copy working ones.

Hope you will have fun here. Sadly my grandchildren are time eating and I am not really into the newest mods for Sacred Underworld. But most vanilla stuff should be covered in sacredwiki.

So much healthier, instead of perhaps breaking the upper arm you perhaps just get a dislocated finger.

Chris Taylore vs Wilfried Dietrich at 1972 olympics
At an interview Dietrich hugged Taylor friendly. But he just wanted to check if he would have long enough arms for a throw. Result one of the best wrestling photos ever.

Banjo -> chocolate bar
The oldest ate it, was stopped in 2008 or so. Two bars in a package, part of Mars company. Hazelnut and not peanuts, remember it because our oldest had a sandpit friend allergic to peanuts.
