text: space Discovery at UT's McDonald Observatory May Help Scientists Learn How Planets Evolve By Tom Michael • Feb 26, 2016 Tom Michael for Marfa Public Radio From Marfa Public Radio: It's a warm afternoon on top of Mount Locke in Far West Texas, but inside and under the dome of the oldest telescope here, astronomer Stephen Odewahn shivers, "It is cold. Yeah, we're in the dome of the 82-inch telescope, the first observatory out here. And it's cold, because usually all of the domes, we try to condition them through the day, to have the temperature that it's going to be at night, when you open up."

Listen: The Legacy of NASA's Shuttle Program in Texas and Beyond By Nathan Bernier • Jan 28, 2016 Image via NASA (Public Domain) From Texas Standard: Today in 1986, the Challenger space shuttle broke apart over the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida. Just 73 seconds after the shuttle's lift-off, its seven crew members were dead. Kepler Space Telescope Discovers Most Earth-like Planet to Date By Rhonda Fanning • Jul 23, 2015 NASA From Texas Standard: Big news this morning from NASA's planet-hunting mission: The Kepler Space Telescope at the University of Texas' McDonald Observatory has revealed the most Earthlike planet found to date, researchers say. The planet, called Kepler-452b, lies in the constellation Cygnus, about 1,400 light years from Earth. It qualifies as super-Earth-sized, as it's about 1.6 times larger than Earth, and its orbital period is quite similar to ours, at 385 days. The Kepler scope was launched in 2009 to detect Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zones of distant stars — planets that have the potential to sustain life like that on Earth. "We are pushing toward Earth 2.0," McDonald Observatory astronomer Michael Endl said in a press release. "This planet is probably the most similar to Earth yet found." Group Gathers in Austin to Talk Private Space Business By Alain Stephens • Apr 14, 2015 gsfc/flickr From Texas Standard: When you think of space, what do you see? Planets, stars, maybe a satellite or a shuttle? Well, some business people are seeing green. A group of space entrepreneurs is meeting in Austin this week to lay the framework for how Texas could be the launch pad for the private space industry. Comet Landing A Success: European Craft Makes 'Fairly Gentle Touchdown' By Bill Chappell, NPR • Nov 12, 2014 Hundreds of millions of miles from Earth, a man-made object was flung at a comet Wednesday — and now it's sticking to the rock as it hurtles through space. "We are on the comet," Stephan Ulamec, Philae Lander Manager, announced Wednesday, marking a historic achievement. Astronomers Set Out to Find the Sun's Long Lost Sibling - And Succeeded By Matt Largey • May 9, 2014 Ivan Ramirez/Tim Jones/McDonald Observatory When Ivan Ramirez started his search about a year ago, he really didn't think he'd find much. "We expected it to be either one or zero," says Ramirez, an astronomer at UT-Austin. Ramirez and his crew were looking through thousands and thousands of stars – all in order to find just the right one. "We're looking for the stars that were born with the sun," he says. "Because our sun, like most other stars, was born in a cluster – probably a thousand to ten thousand other stars. We know that there are a few that we can detect that are nearby, but it's been a really tough job to do." UT-Austin Approves Partnership to Build World's Largest Telescope By Kate McGee • Mar 7, 2014 GMTO.org Update: UT-Austin has received the green light to participate in the construction of the Giant Magellan Telescope. When constructed, it will be the world's largest telescope. The UT System Board of Regents authorized UT-Austin to put $50 million of its research reserves toward the project, and allowed the university to raise an additional $50 million in donations. "Being a charter investor in this remarkable scientific tool will benefit our students, our faculty and the whole university," UT-Austin President Bill Powers said in a statement Friday."Not only will we be helping to answer the most basic questions about our universe, but our involvement will underscore our status as a top world university. This is the leading edge of science, and it is where Texas must be." Texas Astronomer Finds Most Distant Galaxy Yet By Matt Largey • Oct 23, 2013 V. Tilvi, S.L. Finkelstein, C. Papovich, and the Hubble Heritage Team A team led by a UT Austin astronomer has identified and measured the distance to the most distant galaxy found so far. The galaxy — designated z8_GND_5296 — is so far away from Earth that the light we are now able to see from it was emitted more than 13 billion years ago. So we're seeing it as it was in the distant past. "We're seeing it very close to the Big Bang. About 700 million years after the Big Bang," says UT astronomer Steve Finkelstein, who led the project. He says ultimately, far, far away galaxies like this one may help us understand things closer to home. "We want to study very distant galaxies to learn how galaxies change with time, which helps us understand how the Milky Way came to be." What This Ten Pound Satellite Can Accomplish Will Surprise You By Luke Quinton • Mar 8, 2013 Luke Quinton/KUT News Listen Listening... / 3:25 How big is a satellite? Well, that depends. The University of Texas's Satellite Design Lab just won a competition for its "cube satellite." So just how small is a cube? "The dimensions of the spacecraft are essentially the size of a loaf of bread," said Katharine Brumbaugh, a Ph.D. student at the satellite lab. Her team's cube satellite, Armadillo, just won a competition run by the Air Force, beating out nine other universities in the "cubesat" category.

I'm wondering about how Task Manager calculates CPU utilization in a virtualized environment. I can think of two ways:
Count the number of cycles used and divide by the number of cycles available, OR
Count the number of cycles used and divide by number of cycles that should have been available in the amount of elapsed time.
In a non-virtualized environment, these would lead to the same answer, but in a heavily utilized virtual environment, I could see how they would be different. (And I have a sneaking suspicion that Task Manager is using the second method, which means that I'm not getting a true picture of my CPU utilization.)

He didn't drive with his legs very well, first of all, and he'd have been outjabbed at a distance, which makes it hard to consistently control the center. He'd have won with his own spin on how Holyfield did.
George was much, much stronger than Oliver McCall- He'd have backed him up easily. It's not just about eating shots and smiling, which is pretty much all McCall could do against the absolute best in the division, it's about the shoving, the bumping, the pushing, the moving. George beats the tar out of Oliver in a war, and wins a decisive decision. Probably 8-4.
You go around George, not through him
A boxer more protean to the discussion would be Hasim Rahman who supposedly could bench over 400 pounds and was completely re**** strong. Did you ever get in the ring with him? Did that demonstrated strength translate to any benefit boxing-wise?

Faith in Action in the Rio Grande Valley
The families arrive at the center after having traveled for weeks. Their bodies are completely filthy dirty. Their clothing and shoes have a darkened, grey, muddy appearance. In some cases, their clothing is still wet from having crossed the Rio Grande River. Since June of last year, large groups of refugees, mostly mothers with a child or two, walk through the door of the Humanitarian Respite Center at Sacred Heart Church in McAllen, Texas, their faces full of joyful tears as they experience the warm and welcoming faces of the many volunteers applauding, shouting out, "Bienvenidos!" "Welcome!"
The refugee families just spent several days at the Border Patrol Processing Station – the "Hielera" – the "Ice Box" as the refugees call it, because it is freezing there. While in this processing facility, the refugees are kept in cells, where they wait fearfully for what is to become of them.

I don't think the information needed to answer this is out in public, although an experienced physician can probably make an educated guess about parts of it.
Where does the demonstrated survival benefit of Ruxolitinib come from? I can see several possibilities, not at all mutually exclusive:
The drug may have a direct anti-tumor effect, either slowing cell proliferation or killing cancer cells. This doesn't seem enormously likely. It would open up all sorts of research possibilities if true, but it would be tumor-type-specific so the immediate financial benefit to Incyte would be modest.
The drug may potentiate Capecitabine. I'd make similar comments. Since the combination for the trial was chosen as much as anything for low probability of unfavorable drug interactions, many other possible drug potentiations would be interesting to evaluate.
The drug may interfere with a specific pathogenic behavior of metastatic Pa Ca: for instance, a JAK-mediated inflammation may be part of the process by which a new site of metastasis is established. That would again be a research-provoking result, but it seems to offer hope of early markets in other highly metastasizing cancers.
Or the drug may simply reduce wasting (Cachexia is one type of wasting, and in this spot I don't want to limit thought to only the one type). Perhaps (I'm told it's a good guess) many Pa Ca patients could live months longer before mechanical damage by growing tumors killed them, but die first from wasting. This, of course, is the easy money result. Jakafi for toxic cancers and thank you for being a customer.
I guess the subgroup selection criteria would give a clue to what Incyte researchers are thinking about mechanism.
If I had to make a guess, the improved survival is a result of controlling the cachexia. There is literature out there that suggests that JAK inhibitors can help counteract the cytokine storm that occurs in cachexia.
Happy-ish guess. Mechanistic justification. Immediately applies in a lot of other situations. But is it the whole story? Most of the story?
I'm reluctant to stick with the term cachexia because of the phenomenon called out in a less-common name: "programmed wasting." I don't know a word to describe only unprogrammed wasting, but it's seen in severely malnourished populations(I recall a ratio 60::40; more unprogrammed, but reversed in especially young populations). The more general term usually used is "inanition," but that specifically refers to wasting because of starvation. In cachexia, tissue is cannibalized in an order roughly from most to least easily replaced, with potential reproductive function especially spared. I simply don't want to commit on how much of the wasting that we need to combat is programmed and how much out-of-control.

2016-07-14 (1/8) vs. Sara Errani
6-1 2-6 0-0
Francesca Schiavone showcased her all-court skills in becoming the first Italian to win a Grand Slam singles title when she defeated Samantha Stosur to win the 2010 Roland Garros at the age of 29. Playing her trademark heavy topspin ground strokes to set up compact volleys, Schiavone saved six match points to subdue Svetlana Kuznetsova, 6-4, 1-6, 16-14 at the 2011 Australian Open; the four hour, 44-minute epic was the second-longest match in Open Era. At the age of 30 years, seven months, Schiavone became the oldest woman to complete the Grand Slam quarterfinal collection. Reaching the Australian Open quarterfinals propelled Schiavone to record-setting heights: she holds the Italian female ranking record (No. 4) and is tied with Adriano Panatta for the overall Italian ranking record. At the age of 30, Schiavone stretched her Roland Garros win streak to 13 matches in reaching her second straight Paris final before bowing to Li Na in the 2011 French Open final. The Milan native has proven pivotal to Italy's Fed Cup team, helping her country capture the Cup in 2006, 2009 and 2010. Schiavone, who lost the first eight finals she contested, owns six career titles. An avid opera and classical music fan, she earned the 2010 WTA Most Improved Player award. Shiavone says "driving fast" is one of her hobbies.

According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, what appears to be a large dust devil formed in the southeast corner of Pueblo Friday afternoon.
The large, well defined funnel developed near the steel mill area just before 2p.m., likely picking up coal dust in the vicinity.
The National Weather Service describes dust devils as dust-filled vortices that are created by strong winds and rising warm air.
Although they can resemble a tornado, they are usually much smaller and less intense.
There have been no reports of any damage. However, dust devils lift debris into the air, and they can sometimes be destructive.

Every review is relative and needs to be taken in the reviewer's context. This review is written by an intermediate level snowboarder from the Cleveland/Akron, OH area. I don't spend much time in the lodge, locker room, or any of the other amenties so all I'm really concerned about is the slopes themselves.
Peak n' Peak has a pretty good mix of runs and given the size of the mountain, manages to offer enough speed and excitement for fairly competent skiers and riders. Snow coverage and grooming are always excellent, even early in the season. I've only been to Peak n' Peak for evening sessions and the slopes are always nicely packed, groomed, and free of bumps and ruts. Despite not having a lot of vertical, they offer good variety in their runs and their park offerings are outstanding.
Less than $35 for a night session is a steal given that the entire mountain is well lit and open until 10. Probably the best part of the resort is how small the crowds are. I've never waited more than 5 minutes in a lift line and although they don't have a high speed lift, the short lines make up for the lack of an express chair.
Are there bigger and more challenging resorts in the region, absolutely. But, I've never been disappointed with a trip to Peak n' Peak. I always feel like I got my money's worth with the amount of runs you get to take in a session due to the small crowds and reasonably fast terrain. It's not surprising to be able to hit upwards of 30 runs in an 6 hour evening session. Parking is directly across from the lifts so it's show up, get dressed, and get out on the snow. Size isn't everything and Peak n' Peak shines in areas where other nearby resorts fall short.

Abstract: Practical deliberation is deliberation concerning what to do governed by norms on intention (e.g. means-end coherence and consistency), which are taken to be a mark of rational deliberation. According to the theory of practical deliberation I develop in this paper we should think of the norms of rational practical deliberation ecologically: that is, the norms that constitute rational practical deliberation depend on the complex interaction between the psychological capacities of the agent in question and the agent's environment. I argue that this view does a better job of justifying particular norms for practical deliberation than intrinsic or constitutivist theories. Finally, I argue against the Myth Theory of deliberation, which takes there to be no such norms on deliberation.

About Me
Hello everyone!
Shit, it's sooo hard to write few lines about myself. I'll try to do my best. :)
Well, I'm a very curious person so I like changes and putting myself in different context, in different environment, to see how I fell with people different from me that give me different inputs in different moments, in different places.
However, I quickly get bored of things that don't stimulate me anymore.
I'm always trying to find myself everywhere.
"We are a-part of everywhere"
I'm used to take positive aspects from every situation that the life gives to me and from every living being I meet in my path.
I'm really open-minded, that means open to every kind of positive diversity. I like the world because is diverse. I'm also diverse.
I'm liberal, easy going and very welcoming. I like authentic, spontaneous and curious people and I would like to always been surrounded by this kind of souls.
I know we are here to help each-other and I try to do my best.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I thing Couchsurfing really rocks!
I don't have many experiences in hosting but I've been hosted, just because in the last 10 years I've been travelling a lot and I didn't really have the chance to have nice guests at my place.
I used Couchsurfing more to get some nice underground information and to meet very nice people sharing a similar vision about the life.
I really like the way it gives me the possibility to meet locals when I travel in different countries.
I really like people, animals, nature and music.
Many interests and hobbies make me veeery eccletic.
When I start feeling interest about something I'm really passionate and I focused giving a lot of energy on it.
I really love cooking, gastronomy and food in genereal as a way to enter in contact with new people, new flavours, new colors.
I like good and smart conversation, but I also like to talk bullshit and make jokes.
I like people with a nice sense of humor. And people who try to save the world.
I like manualities, reading, writing, dancing, arts, juggling, agriculture, LGBT rights, social activism, alternative ways of living.
One of my dreams is to live in a community with a nice group of people, sharing our diversity as a way to make the world better, in contact with Mother Nature and trying to be self-suficient.

Richard Paul Evans publishes final book in Walk series
The monumental "walk" that author Richard Paul Evans started four years ago is finally coming to an end.
"Walking on Water" (Simon and Schuster, $19.99), the fifth and final journal in Evan's best-selling Walk series, will be released in bookstores on Tuesday, May 6.
For Evans, the only remaining question is whether or not readers will find it a worthy conclusion. Evans said he feels pressure to deliver something spectacular, especially when considering how the story has led some readers to change their minds about suicide and others have called from their deathbeds because they want to know how the series will end.
"All I could think about was the need to get it right," Evans said in an interview with the Deseret News. "People have been following this for four years. I can't imagine the disappointment if it wasn't right on."
The story began in 2010 with the main character, Alan Christofferson, losing his wife, his advertising business and home in a short amount of time. With nothing to hold him back, the heartbroken man decides to walk from Seattle to Key West, Fla. He embarks on a journey to discover why life is worth living and writes about it in his diary, which becomes subsequent books in the series.
In "Walking on Water," the 320-page story picks up with Christofferson returning to California to be with his dying father. He eventually travels to the Florida state line to begin the final leg of his cross-continental quest.
In a short question-and-answer session, Evans talks about his efforts in writing and finishing the popular series, including its challenges, highlights and life lessons. He is grateful to know it has made a difference in readers' lives.
Deseret News: In addition to the pressure to get it just right, what else goes through an author's mind when he finishes a series like this?
Richard Paul Evans: There is some nostaglia with it. I drove from coast to coast to go through the experience. When I hit that Key West sign, I was surprised at the euphoria and sadness at the same time. I tried to convey that through the character. I think I had a sense of what he must have felt, because for me it was a five-year journey that started in Seattle, much in the same way. When I started, I didn't have it mapped out. I didn't know where the book was going to end. So to get here, experience all that, brought a mix of those emotions.
I also felt a remarkable sense of gratitude that I did it. This series has become a big part of my life. I think of all the connections I've made around the world, from people in Poland to Brazil and all over the U.S., wherever I go, people will bring up "The Walk."
It means a lot to people. We have had more than 40 people call from their death beds because they had questions they wanted answered about the series. I got a letter from a woman who has been going through heavy loss, she's been fighting alcoholism as a result of her loss, a friend gave her a copy.
Books are powerful things. They can start movements, political and spiritual revolutions. Sometimes those revolutions happen inside of us. The Walk series has been that kind of book for many people, including me.
DN: As a result of this series, how many readers have you inspired to walk across the United States?
RPE: A few. Someone told me they went for a 7-mile walk. Some people are driving the route on their Harley-Davidsons. They called and asked for my notes because they are actually going to drive it. I bought a GoPro (camera) and said I wanted them to take some pictures along the way. We're going to put it on Facebook and let people follow them as they make the path.

Easy and fast way to get cash
I'm about $12000 short and I found easy way to farm some cash by killing soldiers. Well, I suggest go to the X:460, Y:375 and start from here. Running from this point to the bridge and then on the left you will face 3-4 groups of soldiers. Kill them and return to the place where you started, they respawn all the time so you will face 3-4 groups again. You can kill about 14-16 in total per one run. Killing them you will get about $40 per one guy so you can collect $500-600 (and even more, there will be a blood dragon on the rocks near the bridge, so you can get about $700 with the dragon) in 2-3 minutes. Easy kill them by knife from behind and (it's the most important) go to the menu and save from time to time. If they will kill you will lost your cash.
Good luck :D
I'm getting 3-4 groups of 2-3 enemies, averaging probably 9-10 enemies. Also, I'm averaging $26-$38 per enemy, so only like $250-$400 per run, which takes about 1.5-2.5 minutes.
That makes about $6,000-$16,000 per hour for me at least.
did you guys get all the collectibles? there are ALWAYS SEVERAL wads of cash and/or crates around TVs, the notes, and the tapes. i had more than enough money to buy all attachments after going for the collectibles. just fyi.

Elsewhere in this issue of The Journal ( pages 1633, 1636, and 1700) are statements concerning the use of diets that have received considerable publicity in magazines intended for the lay population. One article discusses in some detail the components of the diet and their possible effects. Another stresses the availability of the services of the Council on Foods and Nutrition for advice on obesity problems. The third is a statement from a member of the institute at which the diet was studied. An earlier communication was published in The Journal, June 30, page 901. In view of the discussion that has been aroused, readers of The Journal undoubtedly will be interested in the three statements in this issue.

Here Are This Week's Winners And Losers In Sports
Nudity, country singers, and squirrels made some weird headlines in the sports world this week.
But there were some real sports stories too.
The Bombers crashed out of the playoffs, the northeast's biggest college sports conference is in shambles, and one Midwestern city quickly became the center of the sports universe.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has won approval from Chinese officials for its planned acquisition of Life Technologies for $13.6 billion, plus assumption of $2.2 billion in the acquired company's debt—subject to Thermo shedding its cell culture unit and discounting prices of some products and ensuring Chinese dealers get the discounts.
The conditions are mostly in line with those already agreed to by Thermo, which earlier this month said it agreed to sell to GE Healthcare its cell culture media business, as well as its sera, gene modulation technologies, and magnetic beads unit, for a combined $1.06 billion. Thermo agreed to sell the businesses in November in return for winning approval of the Life Technologies deal by the European Commission.
China's Ministry of Commerce confirmed the approval yesterday in a statement posted on the Chinese-language version of its website. The statement cited Thermo's concentration in five key business-product segments—cell culture products; sequence-specific primers technique (SSP) kits; sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE); and small protein standards interfering RNA (siRNA) reagents—and undisclosed "other markets."
"The Ministry of Commerce believes that the transaction in cell culture products, SSP kits, SDS-PAGE protein standards, and siRNA reagents market may eliminate or restrict competition," the agency stated, according to a translation of that statement via Google Translate.
The statement added that Thermo "shall fulfill the following obligations" in return for approval of its Life Technologies deal:

Tonight, an oversized ruby-colored sphere will rise in the sky as a total lunar eclipse turns the normally pallid moon scarlet.
Since the moon is in perigee, meaning our lonely satellite is at the place in its orbit where it is closest to Earth, tonight's full moon will appear larger than normal. The so-called supermoon is also at the perfect spot in its orbit so the alignment between the sun, Earth and moon will be perfect … for a total lunar eclipse: At about 8:11 p.m. EDT (0011 GMT), the moon will tiptoe into the outer portion of Earth's shadow, becoming totally bathed in the darkest part of that shadow at 10:47 p.m. EDT (0247 GMT), with the total lunar eclipse ending at about 1:22 a.m. EDT (0522 GMT).
But rather than "lights out," the moon will become engulfed in a light-orange to blood-red glow. [Rare 'Supermoon' Lunar Eclipse Tonight: Skywatching Tips]
Here's why: Picture yourself standing on the moon (lots of dust and craters at your feet), looking down on Earth during the spectacular night-sky event. When the Earth is directly in front of the sun — blocking the sun's rays from lighting up the moon — you'd see a fiery rim encircling the planet.
"The darkened terrestrial disk is ringed by every sunrise and every sunset in the world, all at once," according to NASA. Even though our planet is way bigger than the sun, our home star's light bends around the edge of Earth. This light gets reflected onto the moon.
But not before it travels through our atmosphere, which filters out the shorter-wavelength blue light, leaving the reds and orange unscathed to bathe the moon's surface. And voila, a red moon.
The moon will change various shades during different stages of tonight's supermoon lunar eclipse, going from an initial grayish to orange and amber. Atmospheric conditions can also affect the brightness of the colors. For instance, extra particles in the atmosphere, such as ash from a large wildfire or a recent volcanic eruption, may cause the moon to appear a darker shade of red, according to NASA.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Apr 15th, 2008
Running Time: 121 Min.
Director: Da Booty Man
Companies: Black Ice, Black Ice Limited
Cast: Bianca Biasi, Marula Santos, Monica Mattos, Willians Carioca, Kid Jamaica, Franco Roccaforte, Babalu, Patricia Kimberly
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
Brazil is known for its monumental adoration of the female posterior. In Brazil the ass is as sacred as big breasts are here — if not more so — and in Oiled Up Brazilian Butts 2, five Brazilian booties get liberally lubed with oil for some noteworthy and greasy indoor action.
Every girl takes it in the ass and the disc is packed with names worth knowing. Perhaps the most impressive starlet to come out of Brazil is Babalu, a platinum blonde bombshell packed with brick house curves. Stunners like Bianca Biasi and newcomer Marula Santos help make this a winner from beginning to end.
Retailing: Impressive Brazilian booty.

Very Impressed Warrior - Jan 21, 2013
Player: Jose Reyes (Campbell, Ohio)
This shoe has very much impressed me. I received these as a Christmas gift. When I opened the box all I could say is "Wow!" Starting out these shoes look great, but they are very stiff. If possible I recommend you break these in before taking them into a game. The Synthetic upper on these shoes is very good quality and does mold to the foot nicely. It is the ArrowHead Vamp that makes the upper stiff from first wear. Over all the comfort on these is not bad, but I have had better. The fit on these shoes is really good. The deep lacing system really allows you to pull the laces tight around your foot. This shoe fits like a glove and I have medium width feet, so if you have a wide foot stay away. In terms of length, I'd say they run a half size long. I normally wear size 10 US in synthetic, and 9.5 US in leather shoes. These I needed a size 9.5. In terms of performance, these shoes are very much good. The touch is great and striking the ball in these shoes is a dream. The ArrowHead vamp doesn't add swerve, but it does however add some ping to your shots. It makes for a very firm surface to strike from. Passing also feels normal. In terms of traction, these shoes are great. They provide great multi-directional grip without keeping you locked in the turf. Overall I love the look of these shoes. This is definitely a bright start for Warrior Sports. Most companies within the soccer market take a few releases to make a decent impression. Warrior Sports has made an instant impact. I am giving these shoes a 4 out of 5 mainly for improvements. I believe they could use a more supple upper material, maybe Leather please and possibly make the Arrowhead vamp more grippy. Otherwise this is a great new shoe from a great new Company. I look forward to seeing what Warrior Sports can do in the Future. From a man who has tested many boots, these receive a 4 out 5.

Forums → Game Walkthroughs → GUIDE: Hydraulic
Hello and welcome to my Hydraulic in-depth guide , where you will discover lots of useful information about in this wondrous class.
Hydraulic class is one of the best choices to fully experience the game.Why you ask me?Well itâs because you can make up to 4 different builds that is being played differently.Hydraulic (Hydro from now on) is based on water element mastery , but that doesnât mean everything will be associated to that element.You already should figure it out that this class will be dealing Ice magic to enemies.But itâs not all about water , because Hydro can deal pretty massive damage in melee!He can also take some serious damage to himself or heal his team mates.So you now know that this class can heal , tank (for those who are new this word means âtake a lot of damage and have great resistanceâ) do melee and ice damage.
The Builds
What we are going to overlook now is just a simple quick review about 4 builds that I have developed.
Hot â" Blooded â" Able to buff up youâre damage , cause some pretty heavy damage and lower youâre opponentâs defense.
Shattering Beast â" Itâs all about debuffâs and final attack called Shatter , which is really scary to see sometimes.Debuffing such as lowering youâre enemies speed , damage or healing still causing a lot of pain , this build is recommended for beginners.
Guardian â" Ever wanted over 20000 Health?Have awesome buffâs to help youâre team mates out?This build is all about you to take a lot of damage from enemies and to buff up youâre team.Admit it , even zombies have theyâre guardians and thatâs Sonny.
Heal Bot â" Heal.Heal.Heal.Mirage.Heal.Heal.As you guessed itâs all about healing and some buffing , since you are the healer you are welcome to replace Veradux for Felicity.Itâs fun to watch youâre team mates fight.
Hot â" Blooded
As you read before this is a melee class.Now you ask , why is it called Hot-Blooded?Well itâs an abilities name that passively increases strength by 50%.Means if you have 400 strength , 50% of it will give you 200 more.Thatâs 600!And remember the more strength
the more damage you do.
Pros : Can inflict pretty serious damage , quite high health.
Cons : No healing.None defensive skills.
Attribute Points
Allocating them is not that hard.When you gain level up , you get some attribute points.You should always give the lead to strength , then to vitality and last to speed.
When youâre at level 30 , it should look like this :
Vitality 210
Strength 500
Instinct * (It should be around 30 â" 40 ~ there may be some gear leftovers that adds Instinct)
Speed 120 (feel free to add more , although STR will decrease)
4/4 Bloodshed
1/4 Impair (prerequisite)*
1/1 Hot Blooded
1/3 Regulate (prerequisite)
4/4 Wreck
4/4 Demolish
4/4 Decimate
4/4 Lasting Pain
4/4 Warm Neurology
1/1 Avenger Form
1/3 Restore (prerequisite)
1/4 Reconstruct (prerequisite)
1/4 Safe Guard (prerequisite)
1/4 Mirage (prerequisite)
2/5 Stiff Upper Lip
*Now you will disagree that Impair is a great skill to increase damage , but did you noticed that Roald already casts this debuff?I know you will repeat you can double it , but itâs youâre way if you donât like following guides.
Now this is a really good build , all you need to do now is to put these skills in Ability Pool , know youâre tactics and youâre ready to pwn some noobs.
Ability Pool
2 Demolish
2 Wreck
1 Decimate
1 Bloodshed
1 Avenger Form
1 Vapour Cannon
!!! Always start with that marked Demolish skill in red.ALWAYS.Donât ask why.!!!
You shouldâve noticed that Vapour Cannon is added.Demolish and Wreck scales with youâre Focus , the more you have the more you deal damage.If you have 140 Focus (thanks to the Warm Neurology) , you will deal about 3-4k without any buffs.
Awesome isnât it?
The Gear
I will not list what gear you should have , because you will be changing it every time.But keep in mind that gear needs to have a lot of Strength ,none Instinct (or at least some , but not very much) , good Vitality and some speed.For example if youâre already 30 , kill Hydra to find Emerald Death , most awesome sword for this build.
Trick Bag
The more Focus you have the more damage youâll cause to enemies.Demolish and Wreck scales with Focus , so keep in mind to use Avenger Form or Vapour Cannon to replenish it and destroy youâre foes.
Hereâs a link for Hot-Blooded example.Use it in PvP Arena , to test it out against youâre friends.Triple click on the code , then copy it and paste into the PvP arena , Import page.
Shattering Beast
Debuffing enemy , stunning and silencing it , you become a deadly opponent to anyone and show the true shining of this class.
Pros : Stunning , Silencing , Debuffs , Healing and Shatter attack which can deal really a lot!
Cons : Quite low HP , no team buffs.
Attribute Points
Always stack Instinct.Drop few points into Vitality sometimes , nothing else.If you want to be a good starter of combat than sure drop in some into speed also.
When youâre at level 30 , it should look like this :
Vitality 250
Strength * (it should be around 40-50 or so if you have some of it in the gear)
Instinct 540 - 550
Speed 120-150
4/4 Frost
4/4 Hypothermia
1/4 Mind Freeze
3/4 Flash Freeze
1/4 Ice Wall (prerequisite)
4/4 Glacier
5/5 Crystal Ice
3/3 Restore
4/4 Cold Neurology
1/1 Guardian Form
All you need to do with this build is stack debuffs on enemy and use Shatter when ever you can.Remember , Flash Freeze and Mind Freeze also counts as debuff so be sure to use these skills wisely.On the other hand Restore is a great skill to remove up to 3 debuffs from youâre team mates.
Ability Pool
1 Frost
1 Hypothermia
1 Glacier
1 Shatter
1 Guardian Form
1 Flash Freeze
1 Mind Freeze
1 Restore
You can start with either debuff skill , just keep landing em matey!
The Gear
Simple.Everything that has most Instinct in it.Thatâs it.All I can say is that Law Binder (2h staff) is the best for this class , because it adds 141 Instinct!
Trick Bag
Letâs remember Hydra the boss of Zone 4.Arenât those claws annoying?Well hereâs what you need to do.Those claws are extremely bad at Ice Defense , so few good ice hits should kill em.BUT!Thereâs even better answer how to kill them faster.Want to know how?
Watch this
Just send Hypothermia first at the first claw and the other will die the same.Well itâs too bad Hydra canât die from that one cool hit.
Hereâs a link for Shattering Beast example.Use it in PvP Arena , to test it out against youâre friends.Triple click on the code , then copy it and paste into the PvP arena , Import page.
The Guardian class is one of the best tanking classes in Sonny 2.Sure Biological can do the same , but try to compare theyâre buffs.
Pros : A LOT of Health , Good Buffs , can take a lot of damage also (just exaggerating this ^^ )
Cons : Duh.Itâs tank and theyâre slow.Not only it is slow , but this guy canât even make a single attack.LOL.
Attribute Points
Just put them all in Vitality.Pleaseâ¦
When youâre at level 30 , it should look like this :
Vitality 580 â" 600
Strength *
Instinct *
Speed *
All of these will be different , because the Vitality gear normally has random stuff in it.
1/3 Restore (prerequisite)
4/4 Reconstruct
1/4 Mirage (prerequisite)
4/4 Safe guard
5/5 Stiff Upper Lip
4/4 Ice Wall
4/4 Dead Manâs Plea
4/4 Cold Neurology
1/1 Guardian Form
Funny there are 6 points left which are totally pointless (get it? pointless haha xD) so do with them what ever you wish.
Ability Pool
2 Ice Wall
2 Safe Guard
2 Dead Manâs Plea
1 Guardian Form
1 Reconstruct
The Gear
Simple , everything that has Vitality in it.
Trick Bag :
If youâre actually good with this tanking build , you can replace Veradux for Felicity and try to have more fire power.So hereâs a tip how to keep them alive.Guardian Form -> (Switch both to Relentless) -> Ice Wall (self) -> Safe Guard (target the one who has least HP) -> Dead Manâs Plea (offer both turns to give this buff on both of them) -> running low on HP?no fear Reconstruct! -> AND SO ON.
Hereâs a link for Guardian example.Use it in PvP Arena , to test it out against youâre friends.Triple click on the code , then copy it and paste into the PvP arena , Import page.
Heal Bot
To be honest this build is funny to make youâre opponents angry since Restore removes 3 debuffs , which some of the enemies are only meant to debuff all the time 24/7.This build letâs you switch Veradux for Felicity , so both team mates can fight 100%.
Pros : Healing , Buffs
Cons : Only has one attack..
Attribute Points
Instinct nothing else.
When youâre at level 30 , it should look like this :
Vitality 200
Strength (it will scale with gear)
Instinct 580 â" 600
Speed (scales with gear)
1/4 Ice Wall (prerequisite)
4/4 Glacier
5/5 Ice Piercing
3/3 Restore
1/4 Reconstruct (prerequisite)
4/4 Mirage
5/5 Stiff Upper Lip
3/4 Safe Guard
4/4 Warm Neurology
4/4 Dead Manâs Plea
So as you see these abilities are very handy to keep youâre team and yourself alive 24/7.Not to mention you still get to damage youâre opponent with Glacier.
Ability Pool
3 Restore
2 Dead Manâs Plea
1 Mirage
1 Glacier
1 Safe Guard
Trick Bag :
Mirage is youâre friend.Always use it on youâre team mates at the beginning of the fight.After that Dead Manâs Plea follows it and all you need to do is keep yourself alive.To be honest this build is really dangerous at some points.
Hereâs a link for Heal Bot example.Use it in PvP Arena , to test it out against youâre friends.Triple click on the code , then copy it and paste into the PvP arena , Import page.
Zone Boss Guide
Zone 1 â" Felicity
Keep using any offensive ability at her until she drops at 50-60% HP , after short dialogue she will boost herself with a buff that lets her deal and decrease damage by 50%.Just keep doing what you did before , just remember I will be talking about Easy and Challenging only , because I really hate to waste time on Heroic mode.
Zone 2 â" Captain Hunt
This fight is really annoying at Challenging mode.Alright this boss has his allies â" Sniper and Medic.The Sniper unlike Captain Hunt can deal really a lot of damage if he keeps himself buffed.I suggest attacking Sniper first , break his shield buff , deal some damage and wait those 12 turns until medic and sniper shields wears off.Medic will use up his all mana to do some healing and after that he will be weak as a bunny (not the bunny in Sonny 2).After taking out Sniper go for Captain Hunt , who will eventually put a shield on himself called Desperate Shield that shields him from 4000 damage , but stuns him for 14 turns.Use the opportunity and kill the Medic after that , break that puny shield from Captain Hunt and kill him.
Zone 3 - Clemons the Deceiver
This guy might appear difficult in the beginning , but he isnât really that strong.He will keep landing some debuffs , striking some serious hits and so on.All you need to do is set Veradux on Phalanx , Roald on Aggressive and keep damaging him until he drops to 20-10% of his health.After that he will âshow his true formâ , which is a 99 turn buff that replenishes all his HP , but makes him suffer 200% more damage from all attacks.Just keep attacking him again and he will be knocked out.
Zone 4 â" The Hydra
***NOTE*** Use a build that has Ice attacks , because of the Fire Claws!They are extremely weak to Ice Defense.You should knock them out really fast and then the Hydra will be left.The Hydra itself is quite an annoying pest.Try to survive those poison attacks , debuffs.She also stuns one of the team members for 3 turns.I recommend making Veradux on Phalanx mode to work , since he will need to dispel a lot of debuffs.Eventually you will come to the part where you finish her off and hope that an Emerald Death gets droped =].
Zone â" 5 Mayor
Mayor has a Guardian Cannon with himself , so kill that cannon first , if you donât damage Mayor at all while trying to kill the cannon , he will be pretty weak and hit about only 200-400.After killing the cannon switch Veradux to Phalanx mode and Roald to Relentless.When you take about 10% of health from Mayor , he will go into Enrage which lets him deal 400% more damage.Beware , when you keep knocking health from him , he will do a skill called âTeam Sacrificeâ that stuns for 8 turns.He also does debuffs to reduce youâre healing or damage and DoT (damage over time).He will also increase itâs instinct by 40% or regenerate focus.He will finnaly mysteriously at 20% or so increase his avoidance and will cast a spell on himself called âRetrogradeâ that switches damage into healing.Keep youâre team mates defensive , recover youâre wounds and when itâs over (it takes 1 turn) , go into offensive phase again.After that you should kill him.
Other Difficult Enemies
Iâve been reading a lot of people posts asking how to kill âGregorâ âBaronâ or âBunnyâ.Well I have made a quick guide how to kill some of those guys so stay sharp.
Baron Brixius
I think this guy is a lot of peopleâs headache , well Iâve found a cure.Although I will copy-paste this from my last answer to people , itâs still for Hydraulic class.
Mind Freeze 1/4
Flash Freeze 1/4
Restore 3/3 (2/3 if you're haven't got enough ability points)
Ice Wall 4/4
Dead Man's Plea 4/4
Cold Neurology 4/4
Guardian Form 1/1
Regulate 1/3
Gear and skill points
Basically have a gear that contains a lot of Instinct and Vitality.
Combat Action Bar
It must contain these skills :
2 Ice Walls
2 Dead Man's Plea's
1 Flash Freeze
1 Guardian Form
1 Restore
1 Regulate
Baron Brixius
Ok so I am going to list this guide in three phases :
Phase 1 Baron is going to start off landing some shadow attacks , so set both of you're team mate tactics to Phalanx.This is not going to be an aggressive fight for this phase.I repeat this build is going to be defensive and this whole fight is to survive and leech the focus.Ok now that I am back to the topic ,
start off by going into Guardian Form , stun the Baron with Flash Freeze so he won't harm you're team mates as you are busy taking off his focus with Regulate.For other Regulate takes 5% of you're health instead of Focus.So always remember to cast a Restore on yourself and you're team mates.When you see that you're team mates are having awful time and they have really gruesome debuffs , immediately cast Ice wall to lower the damage.Now Dead Man's Plea is an awesome buff for you're party members , since they're both busy healing you , while you're stealing Focus from Baron , they will run out in Focus and will need to sacrifice one turn to regain it by hitting him.Dead Man's Plea restores 50 Focus of you're team member and adds a boost for healing.So it's always important to look out for them and cast Ice Wall or Dead Man's Plea to let them survive.Now you're guessing if you haven't figured it out already why steal his focus?Well he in this face replenishes it by casting on himself a debuff that deals 4k damage in every turn , for 2 turns.And you will need to repeat this 3-5 times , until he drops to 40k or so HP.Just remember that always casting buffs on team mates and yourself , using Regulate to steal his Focus and lower it faster , using Guardian Form ASAP when it's on and surviving it until Phase 2.Ok if you followed these instructions , you should be already at 40k or so HP.
Phase 2
Baron is going to get loony now , start casting really weird debuffs and quite powerful attacks on you and you're team mates.Here's where he is weak.It's called Holy Scar debuff , that appears eventually on him , which increases damage done to him.Remember YOU MUST USE SAME TACTICS as I said before!Nothing changes , all you have to do is now keep you're team mates alive , this means switching Roald to Aggressive or Relentless , Veradux to Tactic and you , just trying to let them do more damage with those buffs on them.If you geared them pretty well , Veradux will deal 4k damage with Electro Bolt , same goes for Roald if he is in the same gear you got him , he will deal about 4k with fire bolt.Just remember you just gotta switch they're tactics as I mentioned above.Most important do not use Regulate.It's worthless!Now you just need to reduce his health to 7-5k while he is receiving Holy Scar debuff.
Phase 3
This part is going to be when this puny thing dies.Switch both of you're team mates Tactical Mode , and yourself keep repeating all the stuff I told you before.Eventually he is going to fall and give up.That's it!You killed him , congrats and continue you're game!
And Remember this is only Defensive build I made to defeat him.I killed him in like 10-15 minutes and I enjoyed playing with this build.
Gregor the Cockroach
This little thing gets killed by his own medicine.Just learn an ability âSubversionâ that switches healing into damage.So when his down at really low HP and you think he will cast that healing on himself , quickly cast a Subversion on him and he should kill himself.And if he keeps healing himself , well do the same , keep casting Subversion , this is really a matter of luck.
He deals a lot of damage ,but he doesnât heal himself , so just keep stunning him if you have any abilities , silence it time by time and always have Veradux on Phalanx mode.
Mage Knight Priest
Alright these guys are hard because they all have everything a good team needs.Damage ,healing and tanking.I suggest killing the Mage ASAP.Always Silence the Priest as much as you can and donât let Knight to make a lot of debuffs on you.After the Mage dies , go for priest , who will stun himself when he is low on Focus , opening himself for direct damage.
Mage Mage Knight
This is really annoying set-up.Try to silence one mage while tho other is getting killed.Always switch Veradux on Phalanx mode and Roald on Defensive.After the first mage falls , continue with the second.
Ice Lord
You will get confused when he will heal himself almost fully.Donât worry he still has a Focus limit , so just stun or silence him when he is low on health.
The Shattering Beast is a build recommended for beginners , itâs really easy to use , and it almost never fails.
Playing as Hydraulic , you will never lose youâre Focus , unless youâre Hot-Blooded , so getting Guardian is the best , except for a Hot-Blooded , since I explained you why.
You have all of my builds codes to test them out in PvP arena.It will show you every one of itâs potential , so I recommend you first to check them out.This may change youâre mind completely.
Hydraulic class is one of the most coolest classes in the game.Admit it.
Never give up , whether itâs Easy , Challenging or Heroic mode.Hydraulic class can easily switch into 4 builds , just find which one of them is the most effective.
For me of my hard 6 hours work on this guide , I hope forum moderators will sticky it.
Jonas â" a guy who helped me with a Hydraulic class screenshots.
And for my Mom who let me to sit for straight 6 hours near PC and make this guide.

Dang it , where did those ? come out?any mod , could fix them?
Okay, a little strapped for time, but I only read the hot blooded part so far.
I have to say disagree with your build here. I would say at least two points into regulate (to balance out "hot blooded" passive), as your three damaging attacks scale with focus, you want to have as much focus as possible, and regulate maintains your focus level. I also have to disagree with the decision of demolish over wreck+decimate. Lasting pain only applies to damage over time, Wreck has a chance to do 80% strength damage next turn (DOT), and Decimate always does 45% strength damage for the next 6 turns. That is why I prefer Decimate over the other two, and then Wreck.
Good point.But you're wrong.Avenger Form lasts for 6 turns , it replenishes focus every turn , which lets you in the mean time smack opponent to gain Demolish buffs , then go for Wreck and Decimate combo.When Avenger form fades , you use x2 times Vapour Cannon(which will deal 4k~ or so by doing it) , that way it will keep you're focus maxed out and you will still pretty much burst things out.I've thought about that Regulate too , but remember Avenger form starts CD when you morph into it.While using Regulate , YOU will lose turns for valuable strikes , lose 5% of health , while Demolish and Wreck doesn't use up any.
Regulate level 2 is only 2% of health (level 3 is no health needed), which you shouldn't care about, and it lasts for 12 turns compared to the Avenger form's six. Plus, you just said in your picture that you use demolish first, whilst you should be using avenger mode first. Regulate also lets you debuff enemies easily, saves your butt in heroic mode when they start using annoying buffs like lock and load and antidote.
Like seriously, if you've seen what the beta testers of Sonny 2 have had to say about the hot hydro class, they all agree that the core of any hot hydro build should be hot blooded (the 50% more strength for 10 focus lost per turn passive) and regulate. Since they cancel each other out.
Avengeer form lasts for 6 turns (which means that you have only 5 turns to attack) and a 6 round cooldown (6 rounds where you will be losing 10 focus unless you use regulate or vapor cannon). You shouldn't depend on just avenger form and vapor cannon to get you focus. I always start off my battles either using regulate or going avenger form (usually I go avenger form first if I think the fight will be short enough that I won't need to use regulate after avenger form expires).
have you thought about , how much burst do you make without regulate?seriously you lose 4k dmg.oh and i must of forgotten , use demolish as youre first offensive move , did you try out that build in arena pvp?anyway i would really like to know youre build , post it in this topic and tomorrow i will take a look.
You don't lose much damage at all from using regulate, the only damage you lose is the damage gained from having avenger form on (it only increases direct damage by 15% and doesn't affect periodic damage (DOT) at all).
Think about it this way, with your build:
Turn 1: Avenger Form
Turns 2-6: Attacking with Demolish, Decimate, and Wreck
Turn 7: Vapor Cannon
Turns 8-9: Attacking
Turn 10: Vapor Cannon
Turns 11-12: Attacking
Turns 13+: Same as above over and over again
With regulate:
Turn 1: Regulate
Turns 2-12: Attacking
Turns 13+: Same as above over and over again
I don't need to keep using water vapor, which, although not that weak of an attack (hits maybe 1k every time), it's still weaker than even impair and bloodshed, and can't compare in damage to wreck or demolish.
Basically, the advantage of regulate is not having to do a weaker attack (water vapor) to maintain focus through a 12 turn cycle. What I actually do in battle is usually the following:
Turn 1: Avenger mode
Turn 2-6: Attacking
Turn 7: Regulate
Turns 8-20: Attacking
I MIGHT do avenger form again in in the middle of turns 8-20, but usually the extra 15% damage isn't needed there since the battle would soon be over, and I'd rather just keep attacking than waste one turn to buff myself.
Oh, sorry for double post, but this is my build:
4/4 Impair
4/4 Bloodshed
1/1 Hot Blooded
2/3 Regulate
4/4 Wreck
4/4 Decimate
4/4 Lasting Pain
4/4 Warm Neurology
1/1 Avenger Form
The rest of the skills don't matter (never used/pre reqs to passives)
My ability pool is:
2 Wreck
2 Decimate
1 Bloodshed
1 Impair
1 Regulate
1 Avenger Form
My attributes are 75% strength and 25% speed (approximately of course). Equipped with the red Z5 stuff (stuff dropped by secret police).
omg using this guide now - EPIC
i went for the shattering beast build.
Im lvl 28 and dealing more damage to the fire claws than u did (not by much). It would be nice if ou posted the best gear possible for each build so players have something to aim for
For my cold/ shatter whatever build, I focused on debuffs completely and didn't bother with healing or protective moves. It worked out just fine, enemies not being able to even move with Flash freeze twice on my action bar while I debuff them and eventually lead into a shatter.
I just found a better weapon than Law Binder
Wrath of the Council
Instinct 151
Ice Piecing 81
Lightning Piecing 81
Poison Piecing 81
Shattering Beast
Debuffing enemy , stunning and silencing it , you become a deadly opponent to anyone and show the true shining of this class.
Pros : Stunning , Silencing , Debuffs , Healing and Shatter attack which can deal really a lot!
Cons : Quite low HP , no team buffs.
This was my first build and I disagree with the majority of this. I don't know what you were doing, but I never had problems with health while playing Hydraulic. The only thing I felt as a con was how your attacks don't do as much damage as other classes or builds with a single move.
Attribute Points
Always stack Instinct.Drop few points into Vitality sometimes , nothing else.If you want to be a good starter of combat than sure drop in some into speed also.
When you�re at level 30 , it should look like this :
Vitality 250
Strength * (it should be around 40-50 or so if you have some of it in the gear)
Instinct 540 - 550
Speed 120-150
I suppose this is just my opinion; your equipment should cover all of your other stats, leaving you you focus completely on Instinct, your most important stat. I ended up with:
Vitality 168
Strength 49
Instinct 613
Speed 92
I was playing on Heroic, only died on the Baron (because I was lost on how to fight him the first time), and rarely missed attacks even with a <100 speed.
4/4 Frost
4/4 Hypothermia
1/4 Mind Freeze
3/4 Flash Freeze
1/4 Ice Wall (prerequisite)
4/4 Glacier
5/5 Crystal Ice
3/3 Restore
4/4 Cold Neurology
1/1 Guardian Form
A pure waste of space and ability points. Glacier does the same damage as Frost or Hypothermia and stacks on top of itself, unlike those two. This is a good alternative:
1/4 Mind Freeze
4/4 Flash Freeze * *
2/4 Ice Wall *
4/4 Glacier * * *
5/5 Crystal Ice
1/3 Restore
4/4 Cold Neurology
1/1 Guardian Form *
1/4 Reconstruct
1/4 Safeguard
1/4 Mirage
4/4 Stiff Upper Lip
4/4 Shatter *
The amount of stars indicate how many times it was equipped on my action bar. It's italicized if it's passive. Your most important move should be Glacier which does around 1.5k damage (3k critical) and Shatter with 5k damage (10k critical). Flash Freeze and almost every other debuffing attack will do the same amount of damage as Glacier.
Your character (if wearing the final boss's equipment + Wraith of Council) will end up with 6.6k hp and 60 focus (which you will never use). And if you're asking about why I added on Ice Wall, I wasn't sure what to tack onto my action bar since I had one open space. At level 3, since I already maxed my passive skills, I decided to give it one more point. Ice Wall was something I only used if someone was throwing a whole bunch of poison debuffs at me (since the damage will easily fall under 100 if this is on).
I suppose this is just my opinion; your equipment should cover all of your other stats, leaving you you focus completely on Instinct, your most important stat. I ended up with:
I meant allowing you to focus completely on Instinct.
At level 3, since I already maxed my passive skills, I decided to give it one more point. Ice Wall was something I only used if someone
I meant level 30.
Ok , after a good night sleep I am back.Firstly I will talk about Eddy01741.Did you ever thought that you concentrate on damage only?I see you haven't got Stiff Upper Lip , you have two skills which waste 8% of you're health every time you use them.While I waste my health by doing only Bloodshed every once in 12 turns.Let's take a look how would our combat go on.Me(M) : You(Y): M Avenger Form Y Avenger Form (2) <- this indicates turns , M Demolish (chance to get a 12% strength buff) Y Wreck (chance to get on me 80% DoT of you're STR) (3) , M Demolish Y Bloodshed or anything else (I can get double buff of Demolish means I get 24% more STR than you.) while you get yourself a direct damage increase or DoT on me. (4) I have CD on Demolish which second will be available in 2 turns , in the mean time I cast Decimate on you and you use Impair or something on me to lower my defense (I can remind Roald casts Impair too) (4)(5) we keep attacking each other , at the (6) we both lose our forms , you cast regulate and I cast Vapour Cannon on you , if my team mates both are on Relentless Veradux can any time cast Electro Bolt to remove you're Regulate , and Roald can do any debuff or stun in the mean time.You are left open lets say on 40% and I finnaly hit about 4k damage which takes out you're Hp and you're knocked down.You should clearly realize by now , you have two skills which waste HP , regulate which doesn't do any damage and no Stiff Upper Lip , which doesn't increase healing.If you played games like WoW you should know , survivability is in the second lead before damage.
finally! i'e been trying to find a guide for hydraulics, currently I think i'm a heal bot, I let my teammates attack while I heal,buff and debuff. but my build is a bit different from your guide =D
Yeah actually this build could be awesome if Krin would've implicated the healing for enemies.Sunversion + 7k heal on enemy is deadly combo.But then again Glacier will help to lower enemies damage , it's an awesome damage support.

The University of California and California State University systems have struck a deal to offer legal music and movie downloading services to curb rampant piracy by students, a newspaper reported.
The deal announced Monday with Englewood, Colo.-based Cdigix Inc. would offer the service to roughly 600,000 students at 13 UC and 23 Cal State campuses, making it one of the largest contracts since college campuses across the country began searching for legal solutions several years ago, the Los Angeles Times said Tuesday.
To give students additional downloading options, both university systems also are negotiating with other music and video providers, including Napster Inc., Sony Corp. and Mindawn, the Times said.
"We're doing this because we do recognize that there is illegal file sharing of intellectual property," said David Walker, director of advanced technology at the University of California, which enrolls 200,000 students. "We felt we should do something to encourage legal services."
Now individual UC and Cal State campuses must decide whether to offer the Cdigix service and how to pay for it. The company charges $3 monthly for the music service and $5.99 monthly for the video service.
More than 50 colleges and universities in the United States offer legal music services to their students, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
Calif. Colleges Offer Downloads

Skip to comments.Russia Puts Off Final OK of START Treaty to January
Posted on 12/24/2010 5:43:26 AM PST by macquire
Russian lawmakers gave preliminary approval Friday to an arms agreement with the United States, but signaled they would slow progress on the so-called New START treaty to a crawl after it was rushed through Congress earlier this week with some 11th-hour arm-twisting by President Obama.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
""head of the State Duma's foreign affairs committee, said it would take until next month "at the earliest" for the treaty to receive its three required readings and get a final vote. Lawmakers' vacation lasts until Jan. 11. ""
Gee whiz! Our legislators can't even read a bill ONCE.
Not too many want to be married either.
George Bush actually did a good job with savvy as POTUS and earned the respect of other sovereign nations as conveyed freely to the people.
Obama is earning the title of idiot and we along with other citizens of nations are coping with it until we have a true leader once again.
Alas, we could lose the freedom of speech because of federal commission dictate under this idiot.
Fags in the military was put in place to get the military to vote democRAT.
Exactly.....Russia see's what kinds of BS Treaty they can get Obama to sign and they know want to re-negotiate knowing they can get much more.............
Pray that the Dumas does not ratify START. Then it comes back to the US and we can dump it. This prez is an idiot, and we were snookered. This is a 1980's type treaty, that Reagan would have dumped quick. We need to be able to expand our mobile launch capacity and not be hampered. The russians have the TOPOL mobile being deployed, and they may love this "treaty".
I just realized what Obama really is: the anti-Reagan.
You can't cash lies at the bank. I think it's more like diverting federal money to these states or the midnight hand off of a briefcase of cash in the parking garage.
Hopefully McConnell has the guts to give this run!!
Not without foundation - the interview was by Pravda (though unlike NY Times, they have much more open forum for wide range of views) with the [ostensibly paranoid] Russian military expert.
However, he is correct that despite having certain successes (e.g, Sukhoi 4G/5G fighters program) overall, in the pace of their developments, Russia has lagged far behind not only the U.S. but is also being overtaken by the Chinese, who successfully clone / "shan-zhai" some of the better ideas of Russian and U.S. weapons programs.
Hell they may already have something.
They have had big problems with their delivery systems. Bulava-30 / SS-NX-32 has had only a couple of successful trials in the span of last five years and will be unreliable if / when actually deployed (with correspondingly great fanfare, I am sure) in relatively small numbers. In either case, they have no illusions about winning a direct confrontation with the [even weakened by her own government] U.S., and this is not something one supplies to the proxies (like Iran, Venezuela, formerly Cuba etc.)
All in all, it gives both sides another excuse / incentive to recycle and sell / purchase the material in the old warheads while doing nothing to preclude the U.S. developing and deploying the new missile defense systems - that's where Republicans played important role.
Ramifications here are mostly political, not defense-related - unnecessary "win" for Obama, singles out and raises importance of Russia as if they still matter as a direct and the only (by nature of bilateral agreement) military opponent while ignoring the "new world order" where rogue regimes are "independent" players.
Apparently, the Russian legislators think more of their country than ours.
Has there ever been made a survey questionnaire just among the military personnel themselves, or is it just POLITICAL social engineering for gays as usual???
Picture of Jimmy looks like Robert Kennedy's twin brother???
Russians are and always have been realists, not idealists. It's how they've lasted so long, same as the Chinese. Besides, like the Chinese, the Russians are a Byzantine culture and smile in the light and dance in the dark. Their politicians play politics like chess with a mixture of Twister (do you remember that game?) and it takes a lot of work to successfully penetrate Russian culture and understand it fully, much like China.
Russians, before they agree to anything, buy time and work like fiends to create a backup plan or some sort of fail safe to go to if they change their minds or to get themselves out of it if they realize it won't work in their favor.
Can our new pro-American congress un-ratify it before the Russians do their part?
I hope 2012 is a Senatorial blow out. I don't know how demoncrats control the senate anyhow. If most states support Republican presidents, then the majority of the Senate should be republican due to each state only having 2... even the commie heavy California and New York.
Someone should p'shop Obama's face in the second pic.
