Friday, the Great

Jumat ini benar2 menjadi hari yang penuh dengan peristiwa2 penting..

seperti biasa, hari ini diawali dengan bangun tidur yang tumben2nya saya tidak telat haha, 5.30 saya sudah tidak memejamkan mata lagi walaupun seperti biasa 20 menit berikutnya dihabiskan dengan berleha-leha ga jelas di tempat tidur, soalnya jujur aja jam segitu mata ini masih mengantuk T_T.

jam 6.30 berangkat dan seperti biasa ketemu ama angkot M12 "nyasar" yang baru keluar dari poolnya, isinya orang2 yang hampir sama setiap hari, ramah2 sih, tapi aneh aja sebenarnya berbasa-basi di angkot yg sempit, males hehe, terus jam 7 turun di pertigaan penabur, absen jam 7.07 lgsg ke atas ngenet selagi kasi2nya belom datang haha, terus seperti biasa rutinitas hari jumat yaitu futsal PDRD di ancol kali ini, walaupun hujan dan saya jadi kiper yang sering kebobolan selama pertandingan :hammer tapi seperti biasa bermain futsal itu fun dan menyehatkan :D.

lalu terjadilah kejadian pertama yang mengagetkan, yaitu RONGGENG!! dipel bercerita kalau pas main futsal pak dapot mencari2 saya untuk memperbaiki matriksnya, begitu beliau tau kalau saya ikut futsal beliau langsung berkata begini "ngapain belum pegawai aja udah ikut2an futsal", OMG sekejap langsung cemas dengan apa yang akan terjadi dengan saya setelah jam istirahat lewat nanti.

tik..tok..tik..tok
akhirnya saya bertemu dengan pak dapot setelah jam istirahat usai, tp beliau ga membahas soal futsal tersebut sebagai gantinya beliau memberikan 2 raperda lagi untuk di matriks-kan :nohope:.

oh iya hari ini juga ada "pengajian" alias makan rujak bareng ronggengers, ini pertama kalinya saya mengikuti kegiatan ini, soalnya 2 bulan lalu saya terpisah dari teman2 yg di transfer, acaranya cukup menyenangkan, penuh dengan canda tawa, pokoknya bagus lah, mudah2an kami bisa rutin melaksanakannya,,

oh ya yang terakhir seluruh anak magang GEGER, begitu simpang siur mengenai uang tunggu udah cair, chat di grup djpk baik di fb maupun gtalk menjadi sangat aktif, dan akhirnya jam 4 horas mengatakan kalo uangnya udah bisa diambil di bagian umum, saya dan udin langsung mengecek keatas untuk memastikan bahwa berita ini bukan :hoax, ternyata benar, mbak novi udah siap membagikan duit tersebut, dan saya menjadi yang keduax mengambilnya setelah antrian saya diserobot udin, uangnya mungkin ga seberapa, 1,7 juta yang merupakan upah selama 2 bulan, dikurangi 2,5% karena terlambat (walaupun sebenarnya saya terlambat cuma sekali), bersyukur, inilah gaji pertama kami, apalagi ini datang disaat yg sama ibu dan adik saya datang dari bali jadi saya bisa mengajak adik saya dengan uang hasil keringat sendiri, haha

pokoknya jumat ini bakalan menjadi momen yg takkan mudah untuk dilupakan bagi saya..

Personality

wandering souls wanted to be...
into the chamber of flexibility...
not just hear but also able to see...
smelling, feeling, and touching are all the ability...

tickling the souls with a stimulus...
some of the responses might be obvious...
start from indifference to hilarious...
the unpredictable subject unlike the calculus...

while the sanguines enjoy the party...
melancholics are wandering solitary...
thinking why the phlegmatics keep nodding...
when the cholerics ask them something...


Yep, human being is the most perfect things that God has been created, we are all human, given not only a life and a will,but also a feeling, something that only human has in this galaxy.

feeling plays an important role in our life, some people really dependent in his/her feeling, while some people tend to believe logic instead of their feeling, besides, feeling makes our life more colorful. we may feel happy, angry, sad, or cry cause we got a feel, that what makes our life so interesting.

feeling also plays an important part in creating someone's character. how people response to their feeling, how they act toward that, and how they maintain that feeling, can be diverse widely from one person to another. one good example is when someone is being criticized, perhaps some people will be motivated by that critics, therefore they will do better than before, but other people maybe will be depressed by that critics and they will absolutely do even worse than before.

In the past, somehow i believe that people who has same astrological sign kinda also have the same character, in some cases, it's true, bad sadly, i can't fully accepted this theory, since i found someone who really different from me in character, though, our astrological sign was alike.

Then, when i took a personality test on the internet, and read the result, i shocked the description is 80% correct, it even can describe a thing that i tried to conceal for a long time. since then, I become more and more interested in human personality, when I have a spare time at my office, i browse wikipedia an google to find any article about human personality, and it never gone to waste since now i am able to guess the primary type personality of my friends :D.

Actually, guessing someone personality is an easy task, if you understand what the virtues and the vices of every personality type, you will be sure of what type of personality did your friends has. Here is 4 big types of personality that human have :



CHOLERIC
Choleric is the most personality that a leader has since

Sedikit Renungan

Berikut ada suatu petuah seorang Indian kepada anaknya, yang benar2 menyentuh hati saya pribadi, petuah ini dikutip dari buku "going to the mountain", sengaja saya post di blog dengan harapan saya bisa terus mengingat dan mendalaminya.



Anakku
Tak seorangpun akan menolongmu di dunia ini.
Maka jelajahilah pucak-puncak gunung itu, dan kembalilah.

Hanya itu yang akan dapat membuatmu perkasa.

Anakku...
Ketahuilah bahwa tak seorangpun di dunia ini yang dapat kau sebut sebagai sahabat sejati...
Tidak juga ayahmu, ibumu, bahkan saudara-saudaramu.
Tanganmu adalah sahabatmu...
Kakimu adalah sahabatmu...

Rambutmu adalah sahabatmu...

Pandangamu adalah sahabatmu...

Suatukali kau harus menghadapi seseorang yang menganggapmu musuh.
Saat kau berhadapan dengan mereka, kau hanya perlu merasa berani
berada tepat di depan wajahnya


Kau harus siap bahwa mungkin ia akan merasa sakit atau menang.
Saat itu kau hatus percayalah bahwa sesungguhnya keberaniaan bukanlah masalah menang atau kalah.
Suatu kali pula kau akan berada di tengah mereka yang menderita.
Jangan pernah terlambat untuk membantu mereka melebihi dari segala kemampuan yang kau miliki.
Kita tak akan pernah tau, bahwa mungkin saja kemanapun kau pergi, alam akan mendengar mereka bercerita sebuah kisah tentang dirimu...


Oleh karena itu, aku berkata padamu...
"pilihlah jalan terjal mendaki itu, tapi bukan jalan yang nyaman ini..."



"It's not a good condition that makes you smile, but it is smile that makes everything good"
-Virgin Marthalia-

There's (no) Free Lunch

ya, tidak ada sesuatu yang gratis di negeri ini, mungkin di zaman dulu orang mandi makan dan melakukan kegiatan sehari-hari memang tidak perlu bayar dengan uang, tetapi mereka membayarnya dengan keringat dan tenaga...

sekarang, apa2 serba berbayar, menyewa toilet hanya untuk buang air kecil yang tak seberapapun harus membayar. lalu adakah yang masih gratis di saat ini? ya, tentu saja masih banyak, salah satunya jika kita ditraktir oleh teman2 kita di kantor.

jam 12.05 saya masih berkutat dengan perda kabupaten pasaman yang harus segera di-matriks-kan, sebab perda tersebut butuh di evaluasi segera oleh atasan2 saya yang lebih berkompeten dalam melakukannya, tiba-tiba dipel mengajak untuk makan siang, "oke" segera saya menyahut, dan tanpa mematikan laptop maupun men-sign-out akun2 facebook dan g-talk, sayapun bergegas ke lift untuk menyusul teman2 PDRD yang sudah berkumpul di depannya,

sempat ada firasat, "kok sekarang bisa komplit ber-9 ya?" sebab biasanya kami makan tidak selalu dengan formasi komplit sperti ini mungkin ada 2-3 orang yang berpisah, dengan berbagai macam alasan. Ya, begitu saya bertanya, "pada mau makan dimana? BKF?".
"atrium" dipel dengan cepat menyahut.

awalnya saya pikir hanya main2, tapi begitu kami berjalan ke arah dhanapala dan keluar melalui gerbang belakang, saya semakin yakin kami menuju ke atrium untuk makan siang..

ternyata benar, kami masuk melalui pintu samping atrium kemudian teman2 yang lain bertanya "pel, mau makan dimana ini"
"solaria dimana ya?"

waks! solaria buat makan siang?? ada gerangan apa ini?? karena segan bertanya sayapun mengkuti rombongan ke solaria, sesampainya disana kami memesan menu masing2, melihat makanan yang dipesan teman2 cukup mahal sayapun yakin pasti ad seseorang yang mentraktir, dan saya yakin dipel orangnya. ya begitulah, kemudian kami ngobrol2 kecil walaupun saya hanya diam diantara perbincangan mereka, bukan karena tidak akrab, tetapi beberapa dari mereka berbicara mengenai masalah yang mungkin hanya dimengerti oleh beberapa orang saja, seperti bram n purwandi yg asik membicarakan maslaah PBB dan BPHTB (OMG saat makan) atau dipel n ummi yg asik ngobrol tetapi karena jaraknya jauh saya kurang jelas mendengarnya, serta badak dan udin yang berbicara dengan bahasa jawa yang sulit dimengerti, jadilah saya melongok disana, sembari tertawa2 kecil padahal ga ngerti apa yg diketawain haha..

ya segitu aja makannya, awalnya saya senang ditraktir (siapa sih yang nggak) tapi ada sesuatu yang membuat saya merasa "aneh" dan kurang "greget" mungkin karena sebenarnya dengan budget segitu bisa dibuat sesuatu yang lebih berkesan dari sekedar makan siang yang dikejar waktu hehe.

ya tapi ya sudahlah, mungkin memang tidak ada gunanya selalu mengeluh, udah ditraktir, komentar lagi haha, apalagi saya memang tipe tertutup yang susah memperoleh sahabat, ya memang benar tidak ada makan siang yang gratis, untuk setiap kebahagiaan yang kita miliki, memang selalu dibutuhkan suatu pengorbanan, baik sebelum maupun sesudah kita mendapatkan kebahagiaan itu.

Contradiction of Popular Proverbs

Yeah, proverb...
maybe when you were an elementary students, especially in Indonesia, you will frequently see, read, even write a proverb.

I remembered, when i was in my 2nd year as an elementary student, our teacher asked us to write our most favourite proverb that we had already known by reading a book or hearing someone said it, in a 40x30 cm white-coloured manila paper. we may furnish it with anything, including some artistic paper, some drawing from marker, even we can use things like dryed-flower, small beautiful stones, and leaves. I, myself, since i didnt have a good sense of artistic designing :p, i just wrote it, gave it a square-shaped lines around it, and added some yellow-cutted leaves to fill the space that was bordered by the square-shaped lines, yeah it looked so-so but yeah it was better than nothing wasn't it?

actually we did it since our teacher wanted to paste some of our work at the class; wall, so that we will always be able to see some supporting proverb when we were having a class, and surprisingly, my work was chosen as one of 10 sheets that will be pasted in the wall, the reason is that many of my friends wrote the same proverbs, the most popular proverb in my elementary era such as "rajin pangkal pandai", "hemat pangkal kaya" or "kebersihan adalah sebagian dari iman" since i was the only one who wrote that proverb, my work was automatically chosen, cause it was not funny to have 4 same proverbs pasted in the wall haha.

back to the proverb, i recalled that i wrote "Dimana ada kemauan disitu pasti ada jalan", or in english "where there is a will, there is a way", yeah my favourite proverb, even until now i still believe in that proverb, since it sometimes help me motivated myself when i started to desperate about something.

Talking about proverb, in every part of the world, the numbers are countless, even there are some specific proverbs that are only available in particular country, but the numbers of general or common proverbs are also numerous.


Sometimes, some proverbs are contradictive, while one of them state A, the other proverb sometimes state the anti-A, in other words, we must try to apply it according to our current situation and condition, and here there are, im presenting some global-accepted proverbs that are contradictive each other:

The Pen is mightier than a Sword vs Action speaks louder than Words
why would a pen is sharper than a sword? haha it's just a proverb, the proverb try to imply that a writing is more powerful than an action (or violance maybe), means that someone will obey the rules that literaly written than a rule that unwritten, it's somehow true, since thats why all the rules in a country are carefully written, so that all the society obey it, but wait, actions sometimes are better than words, aren't they? yep, in reality children will respect their parents more, when their parents, do things that they asked their children to do it also, what will you feel, when a teacher prohibit you to smoke in the class, and he said that while he was somoking at the same time? sure no student will respect and obey what the teacher said. so in short, sometimes you have to know when to use "pen" and when to "act".

Many Hands make light work vs Too many cooks spoil the broth
Many hands make light works, maybe most of the people will believe in this proverb instead of its contradictor. This proverb is really applicable; even some other proverbs such as “united we stand” strengthen the position of this proverb to be believed.
A simple example is, you can imagine, when your teacher asked you to clean the whole class alone, surely no one wants to do that, since it will become such an exhausting and time-consuming job to do, but what if all the students do it instead? The previous tiring job will become a much easier task to do, yeah that’s the power of teamwork, and it is only one of many examples that prove that this proverb is really-really applicable in reality, but is there a case when a job is handled by more people, will make it harder than if it was handled by fewer people? Yep, there is, a job like cooking (like the proverb said) or even some simple job like decision-making, will be more effectively and efficiently done by fewer people who really understand the problem/job, imagine again, in a kitchen, where 10 professional chefs are asked to make a vegetable soup together, there will be a chaos, since one chef prefer a salt taste to sweet one, another chef think that they should pour additional pepper, while the 3rd chef think, that too much pepper may make the soup over-cooked, and wait the 7th chef said that carrot is a good choice to be added into the pot, whereas, the last chef, insist that carrot is hard to consume and adding more tomatoes would be better, haha so much conflict of interest that surely will make the cooking process become longer and more patient-demanding, contrary, when only one chef making that soup, I’m quite sure that the process will become much shorter, and therefore, makes the soup more delicious.

So what’s the point? Maybe in reality, the more people doing a particular job, the easier will the job be, but in some cases, some specific jobs, will be more effectively done by fewer people, in case a job that needs personal taste, or preferences, that’s why we should know, the proper time to ask for help, and the right time to do it just alone.


You're never too old to learn vs You can't teach an old dog new tricks
another contradictive proverbs, the first one, try to persuade you that there is no maximum age to learn something, since learning is different from studying, we can still get experience from everything that we see, anything that we hear, even from everything that we did. in the other hand, the 2nd proverb try to say the opposite thing, that some knowledge or skills are extremely difficult to teach to old-aged person, things like computers, design, sports are near impossible to learn by our grandparenst for example, so i think these two proverbs are not that contradictive, since they are different in the perception of "learning" definition, anyway, these two proverbs provide some useful information to us that, when we young, just keep try to maximiaze our pyential by learning and acquiring some new knowledges and skills, since in the future, most of the skills and knowledes that available to learn, will hardly be acquired.

Ask No Question and Hear No Lies vs Ask,and You Shall ReceiveAsk No Question, Hear No Lies

This proverb makes us think that every question will be answered by a lie, what a skeptic proverb it is. Not every answer that we seek is a lie, but why does this proverb said like that? There must be a reason to it.

Back to my past experience, where I was still a 2nd grade senior high school students, a time when friends felt more valuable than a family, I remembered when each of us asked a serious question, the others won’t answered it seriously too, yeah I know that they were just joking, but it sometimes could make me annoyed and hurt my feeling. We should change our mindset, that not everyone in this world is honest, trustworthy, or do what everyone should do. Some people are a type of rule-breaker, some of them are very individualist, even some people, were born just to do an evil-thingy-actions (yeah I believe it!!), that’s why sometimes this world can be a frustrated world to live in, since so many unfaithful and untrustworthy person exists, so we must be always careful everyday. But, hey the other proverb seems more positive than the previous one, ask, and you shall receive, very applicable proverb, cause by asking a question, we will get an answer, regardless of the answer was the truth or the lies, we still get an answer, yeah, an answer, that’s why we ask. Try to see the good from the bad, even if you get the “wrong” answer, at least you can learn something from that wrong answer, now, you will be able to know, who is trustworthy, and who is not, who is saying the truth, and who is lying, and the most important lesson that without a “bad”, there would be no “good”.

This time I prefer the 2nd proverb to the 1st, since it gives more positive thinking lesson to us, although the first one is not absolutely wrong, sometimes people lying, me, myself are often lying just to pleasure someone’s heart, even I know that my beloved parents are still sometimes lying until now haha, don’t be naïve, honesty is not always the best choice, sometimes lying is the best thing to do =).

Variety is The Spice of Life vs Don't Change Horses in Midstream

Spice up your life! Maybe the more popular proverb than these two that is being compared, everyone has his/her own preferences and hobbies, by doing something that we like or something that is challenging, our life will become a more exciting life to live in, can you imagine how bored will our life be, if we just doing all the same thing every day, without any single variation?
Yes, like my current job at the ministry of finance, we almost doing all the same job every day, typing, posting letters, evaluating local government’s rules, rinse and repeat all the same job again, and I feel like I need a little variation or at least any other job to do, that’s why while working, I try to find a time to write this article, and sometimes I also surfing the net to kill the bored.
Variety is the spice of life, such a true proverb, just like what I said before. Let’s take the analogy of life and foods, what will you feel if you eat a food that contains the same ingredients? You eat vegetable soup, but the soup only contains carrot? Surely, the soup will be more delicious, if we add some tomatoes, cabbage, asparagus, and other veggies inside it, life is just the same, sleeping all day long, working all day long, even playing all day long, will absolutely boring, that’s why we are playing while working, talking while eating, joking while meeting, and even we singing while bathing, since all that variations make our life more interesting.
But, in some cases, it is better not to change anything that already been set up, even that things are all without variation, things like official rules or working procedures, are subject of unaltered things, example, our working procedures stated that the original documents, must be send to the province’s governor, while the copies are sent to other destination. Yeah, you are wondering why the original must be sent to the governor, and you give variation by sending the copy instead, since you get bored of doing the same thing again and again, but what will happen? You will get scolded by your boss for doing that wrong. Haha perhaps, the last example wasn’t good enough but at least we get a lesson that new things are always welcome, since sometimes we easily get bored of our routine activities, but remember, not all activity, work, or task can be variated, sometimes we need to let it be like it used and should be =D

Don't Cross the Bridge till You Come to It vs Forewarned is Forearmed. why would you cross the bridge when you couldn't see it? yeah such a waste thing to do, this proverb try to say that we'd better not too planned/did all the things that we will do until that things is really clear to see. a good example is when i just graduated from STAN, and asked to file all the pre-requisite documents to apply for job in ministry of finance, before the scheduled time come, i already made an initiative to legalize my birth certificate, since my current home is in Bali, whereas I was born in Padang, legalize the certificate become an amusingly confusing task to do, since i was not sure where to legalize it, therefore it need all day long just to do it. but what happen when the schedule was announced? I'm a bit disappointed since in fact the certificate wasn't one of the required document. yeah, so my legalized certificate come to be a waste, a waste of money, a waste of energy, and a waste of time.
Sometimes, taking a square-off is really important, not only you will get an overview of what will you face, but also you will be physically and mentally ready for it. practicing something, although the events are canceled, will never gone waste, since you already increase your ability to do that matters. yeah, you will get the advantages when the events are held, in the other hand, you wont aggrieved when the events are canceled, so forewarned is forearmed, it is never waste of an action to prepare everything in advanced.. so be ready, but watch out don't be too over-prepared.

Silence is Golden vs The Squeaky Wheel Gets the Grease
my favorite contradiction,not only cause these proverbs are popular but also the variability of opinion that will arise when anyone are asked about this question.
Silence is Golden was a really popular proverb since a long time, this proverb teach us not to over-talking, over-bragging, about what we are able to do, since it will make us looked arrogant and cocky, people hate arrogant person, hate someone who bragged to much, cause sometimes these people can't prove something that they are bragged about, really pathetic, nevertheless, keep silence also wasn't a good choice, if you sure you are good at some aspect try to tell it or show it without bragging, or else, no one will realized what you are capable of, and therefore, you will easily underestimated by everyone, yeah like the proverb said, which wheel will get the grease?? yeah, the squeaky one, it just like who will get attention? yep, the noisy one! :D,

so, the conclusion is,show what you are capable to do, but watch out showing is not equal as bragging, once people see you are bragging without prove, you will start to lose some respect from them.

it just a few examples of many that are available, we still have "Look Before you Leap" vs "He Who Hesitates is Lost" or "The Early Bird gets the Worm" vs "The Second Mouse gets the Cheese".
Just one thing that we should remember that proverb is just words of wisdom that you mustn't do, but still proverb is expressed a truth, based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity, means there will be no proverb, if the actual or real-experience doesn't exist.
So, proverb can be a good guidance for our life, but we must be careful, since some proverbs are contradictive to each other, so that we should find the right time to use it as a guidance...

6.70 RELEASED

YEAH, icefrog really cool, releasing his new map in the christmas day,i think he wanted to make this new map as a christmas present to all the dota player in the world.
the more stable version, the 6.70b and 6.70c have also been released within two weeks, overall the new map, provides 2 new heroes and 3 new items, which is good, since DotA has been growing rapidly in 2010.

I will try to review the changelogs first and the new things later, so check it out :

1.Frostmourne bonus movement speed increased from 10 to 15%
for me its a weird change, since people who using abbadon will take the shield and the nuke 1st, or icefrog indirectly ask the player to use abbadon as an attacker? haha

2.Spell Shield magic reduction from 15/25/35/45 to 26/34/42/50%
wow 50% magic ressistance with 25% natural, equal to 62,5% total reduction, shocked? you shouldn't since his name was anti-mage btw, lol.

3.Berserker's Call bonus armor from 5/10/15/20 to a constant 30
tbh, it is a waste of buff for me, since axe is vulnerable to magic attack, why didnt increase the magic reduction instead? but it still a good buff to axe to counter physical-oriented heroes in late game

4.Reduced Fiend's Grip cooldown from 120 to 100
i think icefrog just try to remind the players that atropos is still on the pool, it is a good heroes, with lots of disable and nuke, i also wondering why no one pick atropos in recent competetive games? his nightmare is a good initiating skill, so i consider this buff as a reminder since 20 seconds wasn't that material for me.

4.Increased Track's movement bonus aoe from 800 to 900, Increased armor by 2
another buffs to gondar, but not that significant buffs, gondar is a good backstabber heroes, but since courier now can carry gems, makes the invisible and backstabber become less viable choice at the competetive game nowadays.

5.Hoof Stomp stun duration from 1.25/1.75/2.25/2.75 to 2.0/2.25/2.5/2.75
rescaling time buff, making centaur is even better at early stage with stomp and double edge.

6.Persuasion cooldown from 30 to 30/26/22/18

Chen's position as a natural creep user has been replaced by aiushta for a long time, will this buff help chen gain his position again? im doubt that will happen, but lets see.

7.Increased base damage by 5, Removed healing cap (was 1000) on Exorcism, Strength gain from 1.8 to 2.2

as a krobelus user, i love this buff, krobelus again become a good pusher-carry-tanker, with other buff to bloodstone, it was a really chance for krobelus to shine again.

8.Decay damage from 30/60/90/120 to 40/80/120/160

slight buff to dirge's decay, but not that significant to bring dirge back, maybe reducing the cooldown 0,5/1 seconds would be better in my humble opinion.

9.Scorched Earth damage and health regeneration reduced from 15/20/25/30 to 12/16/20/24
doom is really imbalance, icefrog already nerf this hero since the two older version but this hero keeps being banned 80% of the competitive game, with this recent nerf im quite sure that doom will still be banned, since people take Scorched Earth mainly for its speed not damage.

10.Improved base attack damage by 6
6 damage is really useful at early stage, making lasthitting or denying becomes easier job

11.Sun Strike kills now give XP to Invoker

another waste of buff, why SS? it's a difficult skill to aim, and damage is not even par with tinker's laser. maybe reducing the penalty damage if it was distributed would be better.

12.Rebalanced base damage from 42-54 to 46-54
weird buff, no need to comment lol.

13.Healing Ward movement speed increased from 150 to 300, Banished units are no longer immune to Blade Fury

a nice buff to yurnero, especially the ward, making it can be used as a bait to the opponent.

14.Blinding Light's cast range increased from 600 to 900

a good buff to ezalor, additional casting range means more safety for eza, since now all his skills have a far casting range.

15.Base damage increased from 45-55 to 53-59
nice, i love this buff since she was one of my favs, making she will be able to last hit and deny better :D.

16.Split Earth damage increased from 70/140/210/290 to 120/180/240/300, Lightning Storm cooldown reduced from 6 to 5.5, Diabolic Edict no longer uses cast point
three buffs to leshrac wow, the damage to split earth is welcomed, the cooldown also nice, but even more better is that the diabolic edict no longer uses cast point, time to using lesh?

17.Dark Ritual cooldown reduced from 55/50/45/40 to 30/27/24/21, Frost Armor manacost increased from 25 to 50, Frost Armor armor reduced from 3/6/9/12 to 3/5/7/9, Frost Nova primary target damage increased from 50/100/125/175 to 50/100/150/200

2 buffs and 2 nerfs to lich, the nerf is predictable, since frost armor is a very imba defensive skill, with bonus armor, and slowing melee atacker, but now lich will be more likely to become a harraser since now dark ritual are more spammable, and nova deals more damage.

18.Shapeshift form critical strike improved from 1.5 to 1.7x, Wolves critical strike improved from 1.5 to 1.7x

haha, lycan got buffed!!!, his wolves are becoming more damaging now, but IMO this buffs wont make lycan occasionaly got picked in competetive scene.

19.Poof cooldown decreased from 16/14/12/10 to 14/12/10/8
Meepo, a difficult hero to use, but can very deadly if used well, this buffs is good, i really hope to see meepo in a replay soon, missed ritter's legendary meepo.

20.Slithice Base damage increased by 5

naga get another damage, now she becomes one of the highest beginning damage heroes

21.Open Wounds team life steal increased from 10/15/20/25% to 15/20/25/30%
wow 30% to all the team? sounds like inderectly nerfing alchemist, since naix and slardar are considered the main counter to alchemist.

22.Degen Aura now also reduces attack speed (same values as the movement speed reduction)

a really nice buff, 36% minus attack speed is faboulus, purist really need to have a back in competitive game

23.Drunken Brawler Crit chance increased from 5/10/15/20 to 10/15/20/25%
Drunken Brawler Evasion chance increased from 6/12/18/24 to 10/15/20/25%

2011!!

now the beginning has come..
not all the people wishing, but just some...
hoping for a better future, if not the best...
yet still keep their past memories not erased...

pray, hope, and wishes...
without forgetting the strive and sacrifice...
two, three days will be passed...
testing our ability to survive...

fireworks are scattered in the clouds...
childrens are screaming there out loud...
guiding the night into dawn...
while the people keep partying at the town...

My Child, it is the time to engage...
Carefully plan, cause theres no salvage...
2010 has already said goodbye...
while 2011 just start to pass by...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011
:D
