Horse meat is hard to get and they waste it there? It is a delicatesse.

Apples are ripe My father died around a year ago. This tree was planted by my grandpa when my father was born. My daughter used it as a training tree for her studies in arboristic last autumn. It was almost dead and this year it has apples again. it is also the home of: 12-15 bats a family of small owls a family of nuthaches hornets - at least they keep the wasps away What a luck I didn't chopped it and replaced it by a younger tree. It is also the proof for the paper for university in practical arboristic.

A manual which was translated from english into german. Too bad the english original wasn't the original either. The english one was a computer generated translation from japanese it seems. Well not as worse as the picture below. Luckily never run into this: Probably because most of our furniture is old and handmade. The manual I am currently reading is from a Einachsschlepper, a tractor with just two wheels. By attaching a one axis trailer and limiting the speed it can be driven without a driving license. If calculations are right, our second can drive it mid through rough country to shortcut the normal street. So instead 18km to school it would be just 4km. Currently she uses a bicycle, but at snow and mud this one could be better. A small cabin is already added, including a roll bar in case of an accident .

I had to look up moose maple. I think potato-chips are the reason why a nearby Walmart went bankrupt. The former market had 2 types of chips (paprica, salt and pepper) but 100 sorts of pea, beans, lentils, buckwheat, ... Then Walmart took over and it was like 100 different chips but you couldn't by the traditional used lentils anymore. We haven't bought any potato chips after our staircase is setup and running mass-production. http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/18412-what-is-the-latest-big-real-life-project-you-started/ Dried chips from quinces and then coverered with chili-chocolade are currrently the favourite. Or a party snack: smoked pear chips layed with tartare from salmon and horserettich sauce. We were inspired to do this by a wedding party were the chef did potato-chips with salmon-tartare and wasabi cream as an appetizer. However we found potato-chips as too fragile, breaking all the time when we tried fruit chips (potatochips are best when thicker selfmade ones I learned). Family is really creative since we can do our fruit chips for free.

Just (3am) returning home from playing a sort of barkeeper/cocktailmixer at a Polterabend in the village. Polterabend is the day before the marriage and traditionally the couple spends it together with friends and neighbours. Friends throw porcelaine at the house of the bride, because a german saying says shards bring luck. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polterabend We don't do a bachelor party or something like this in our area. We had 32 Celcius in shadow yesterday and the most wanted drink was a 'sauergespritzter Speierling' Speierling is a sort of a really sour cider. An apple wine made from apples with some fruits from the service tree(Speierling). Sauergespritzt means that some sparkling mineral water is mixed to the cider. The mix is really refreshing and contains less alcohol. Speierling is made here for centuries and we are judt a few miles from Selters, the village which gave the name to mineral water. Selters= seltzer water. So the mix is cemturies old too.

File Name: Youcanthide.WMV File Submitter: chattius File Submitted: 06 Sep 2013 File Category: Ice & Blood Shadow Warrior Builds My weaponless ShadowWarrior (level 115 in niob) doing the orc cave(monsterlevel 132). Could be done quicker but I did hard aiming at just 9 frames/sec. Click here to download this file

The Equipment Used when finishing the niob campaign at level 115.

FINISHED NIOB So here is the begin of something like a guide, even I doubt that someone will replay it If there is interest I could upload the character and perhaps we have a Spielberg who could do a video. The Captain America Build Best to played with CM-patch, but at least AddON The build needs the regeneration-per-hit item modifier which wasn't in game before the AddOn. It is in the console variants of the game. Game Video: Character fighting the orc cave http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/files/file/332-youcanthidewmv/ Chapter 1: The Idea and the main attack There are several ways to use a melee weapon: using a big two-handed weapon using two single-handed weapons using a single-handed weapon and a shield using empty hands using a shield but no weapon The two-handed does enourmous one hit damage but lacks the shield for defense. The dual wield variant is doing weaker but two hits. The sword and shield sacrifices a second attack compared to dual-wielding but offers more protection. Worser than any of the 3 variants in any aspect. So last of the variants is the shield and no weapon. The whole character idea is based on the fact that demonic blow considers this variant as a dual-wielding attack. When doing a demonic blow the graphic shows a punch with the left fist followed by a swing with the shield in the right. Any x-x damage ring socketed will be working on two attacks. By having a shield we free defensive sockets for x-x damage rings and +allSkills jewelry, best both in a single ring. *allSkills will bring more defense again, so even allows more x-x damage rings, ... So how do get the idea working: Doing a look at the spells.txt and the tokens we choose tokens = { entry0 = {"et_mult_weapondamage", 1300, 2, 0, 9 }, entry1 = {"et_baseAW", 200, 350, 0, 5 }, entry2 = {"et_damage_any_rel", 400, 100, 0, 5 }, entry3 = {"et_chance_bleeding", 197, 3, 1, 5 }, entry4 = {"et_damage_areasplash", 745, 5, 2, 9 }, entry5 = {"et_debuff_reduce_armor", 500, 10, 3, 9 }, entry6 = {"et_weapondamage_poison", 40, 10, 4, 9 }, entry7 = {"et_life_leech", 30, 15, 5, 9 }, entry8 = {"et_chance_deepwound", 200, 2, 6, 5 }, }, mult_weapondamage: This multiplies base weapon damage by (1.3+0.02per_CA-level) baseAW: this brings 20+35per_CA-level base attack value damage-any_rel: this brings 40%+10% perCA-level damage. Adds to tactic lore, combat discipline and any x% damage in items damage_areasplash: 74.5% + 0.5%per_CA-level chance that nearby targets are hit by the attack weapondamage_poison: 4+1per_CA-level base poison damage life_leech: 3+1.5per_CA-level life leech damage The modifiers area damage vs bleeding Most fights are versus groups so most time will be lost when having no group control poison damage vs reduce armour When finishing the niob-campaign the CA-level will be around 100. So why to choose poison damage over reduce armour?: Reduce armour is probably just for physical armour. An enemy with 100% physical damage mitigation would be immune. So having another damage type in the attck is not too bad. The poison modifier will be 104 base poison damage. This will be multiplied by 1.5 because of mult_weapondamage. So we are at 156. The damage _any_rel will add 1040% damage, that is more than tactic lore and combat discipline added. This poison damage will be in both hits and even doubled if deathblow is triggered. In my opinion poison damage wins against reduce armour at short fights versus the many normal enemies. At bosses we have longer fights and using a sigil set from CM-patch will bring -x% enemy physical resistance. This modifier will add up in longer fights. life leech vs deep wound Again it are the many fights again groups rather than the few against bosses. with around 900 life leech in each attack the deathblow level is reached earlier. And it brings some healing.

I am calculating a Haswell. Currently I am at 15Watt (hoping to reach 12) and only a CPU-fan at maximum 600 rpm. Planed main use is as a near 24/7 machine. Typing, music listening (classic, so fan noise is unacceptable) , hobby of daughter (controlling a knitting machine who will run at night), hobby of me (milling machine to create oldtimer tractor parts, or engine parts for the bikes of my father in low) ... all can be done at low power. Compared to a game machine we could save 100-200 Euro a year in power costs. Not using the Highend chips but 2 steps smaller, using a SSD-disc, onboard graphic, ... And by adding a graphic card gaming is possible, then around 130Watt design power.

Some close battles where my brave shield basher followed the old saying: run away to fight another day.... The scorpion boss was too hard. So doing some leveling first to maximize spell resistance. Finished the scorpion and the crystal, now approching great machine in niob at level 113. Still fighting unarmed and not using x% life leech. Funny character, it is one which gets better and better the higher in level. Not like these inquisutor mages who do hard at high levels. Just started to put points in toughness and only a single point in shield lore to boost the Kira shield to 75% blockchance versus melee and ranged. A single point into combat reflexes, ... so a lot of points to be spend in defensive skills to free sockets for offense. 200 runes read into both buffs, into hard hit, into the temporary buff, ... Just need enough reg per hit to fight the 11s regeneration time. But 5.5s is enough because of the double hits. 2s are in the set gloves so just 3 garnets wit reg per hit in sockets.

I think the english wiki uses breaking points because of values like: 149 skill is 61.9% 150 skill is 61.9% too Some people think that the point at 150 would be wasted. I think the game uses more digits intern and just rounds for display. If the others are right: breaking points, magische Zahlen If I am right Tabellenwerte

Some I don't see breakpoints on the concentration page. A mark at program code to force a stop: break point - Haltemarke A point at which a curve gets more flat like the experience curve at 125/150/175: breaking-point = Knickpunkt. At modifying points: 9 for one full CA modified,...27? for 2, I would choose magic numbers- magische Zahlen Oops, I searched in the text and not in the headlines: Try Tabellenwerte

Jägermeister, all these parties and people bring bottle of Jägermeister. No blood alcohol allowed at work, so best is to bake a cake with it and eat a slice at evening. http://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/22861005729114/Jaegermeisterkuchen.html Our second daughter looses 4 hours a day at public transport to school. When kids at town are done with homework she isn't even at home.

The page has some other nice programs too: Autoruns Regmon Portmon ProcessMonitor ...

I really like it. You have to do some registry editing before it pops up at ctrl-alt-del. It saves time when I have to kill a program and want to search for the reason. It gives some more informations than just the taskmanager. And I can do some bug search before the process is killed -something like looking which registry keys are opened, which DLL's are started by the program, who is the owner, ... But even if you want to avoid registry editing, the tool is really nice. Probably best to start it manually first and once knowing and trusting in it, do the registry edit for replacing. I was using the wininternals(now sysinternals) tools already when I had Windows NT. And there is a helpfile in html format to learn what it can. The wininternal people did some good WindowsNT interna books, did some tools to detect root kits, and then were hired by Microsoft. Then the name changed to sysinternals and the tools went to the Microsoft technet page.

Did you know that you can change the program which pops up when pressing ctrl-alt-del? if yes, which program are you using? I prefer the Process Explorer from sysinternals for years now. http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinternals/bb896653

Following my daughter: Colossus is the easiest. She killed him in niob by just staying around and healing herself. Rest was done by light aura of her seraphim. Think it is the only main boss that can be killed by buffs alone?

The formula for resistances affecting damage received is in the damage wiki. However the formula there is only for I guess silver. At higher difficulties the damage done by a monster is the damage shown in last kill tooltipp multiplied by a difficulty multiplier. The received damage is again multiplied by this multiplier ? This has to be verified. I did started the maths when my daughter was in hospital and I think I never really finished them. http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php/Sacred_2:Damage As you can see the graph is still in german, so I think I never really finished it? The graph shows how much damage you receive from a wolf in niob whose last kill window shows 224 damage. The damage recieved at no armour is 744. Obviously it is good to stay away from the y-axis to prevent high peak damages. So best is do cover all damage types at least a bit. Also not really in the damage wiki: life leech attacks DoT attacks

Found the graph: Now ineed to find the thread. Graph was from fighting a niob wolf and changing th armour values. The interedting part is, that having too low armour multiplies the damage shown in he last kill tooltip. This graph made me putting an artamark star amulet in a socket all the time, just to prevent to be close to 0 armour in a damage type and receive damage multiplication. Why do use an artamark http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/14765-lady-in-black-the-unknown-member-of-mib/&do=findComment&comment=6885421 Another graph, in photobucket/sacredwiki http://s241.photobucket.com/user/SacredWiki/media/Builds/attachment.png.html Seems I have too big fingers for this small touchscren, lot of typos.

I can barely remember doing a graph how damage is lowered by armour. Did it made it ever into wiki or is it hidden in a thread I cannot remember at the moment?

Seems health insurance is different here. A high-tec bandage allows to walk and work earlier so most docs do an recipe for one. For days away from work you need a paper from a doc too. So normally people I know (mainly soccer players) visit a doc for the paper and a bandage.

My daughter fights only the colossus. She is such a weird build that she can't do others . Shouldn't the Wiki list the race/type of a boss? Would be useful for shrink head hunting and the seraphim and highelf with her auras against undead and t-mutants.

Three years back I used to have a memory stick on my keyring and then my wife asked if she could use my car for a medical meeting for a week in switzerland. And I said yes and forgot the usb-stick.... And it wasn't just a memory stick. It had a full bootable linux on it with all the programs I needed. I could stick it in any computer to boot with it and have my own programs. Computer at work, notebook, computer of my wife, at my parents,.. I had a copy, but I idiotical put the operating system on th biggest possible memorystick I could order. No local store had one. So I had a copy on harddisc put nothing to copy it on

It was quite common here. At marriages each guest started a balloon. Written on it were gifts the senders would do if the card was send back. I remember a boy who wrote: if this card will be send back I promise that I will babysit 5 times at the first kid of my older sister. Or the best girl friend of a bride: I will care for the dog when you do a journey. Something like gift coupons. http://www.ballonversand.ch/ballon_sets_ballonwettbewerb_just_married,pid,810,rid,37,produktdetail.html Winning a balloon race is tricky. Best do just as much helium in that the balloon climbs slowly. Then wait till late afternoon. At a sunny day a ballon may heat up, gets bigger=lighter , climbs even higher. Less pressure in the air and it explodes. So a slow climbing balloon which travels at night is best.
