So yeah, I've died a couple of times. Once was my fault, once at paragon 38 cause the game crashed. But damn, I've never felt this emotionally invested to rage in someone's face.
What's the worst you've acted or done after a HC death?
Posts: 2,172View profile
the worst i've done is gone and smoked a cig.
that dude is out of line, call animal control and have him put down
Posts: 1,733View profile
How does this guy even know he was DDOS'd? Guy seems to meet the definition of a male donkey.
I've never raged like that on an HC death.
I raged like that on one guy, once ... back when I was 20 or so. He basically would not stop pestering me about something that was really none of my business. He had beef with a guy I played chess with, he decided he needed to beef w/ me as well, just because I played chess with the guy, and would *not* let it go, and basically needled me about stupid crap until I went off. Looking back on it, he probably deserved it but I still shouldn't have gone off.
Edit: The beef was stupid, too. This was at a coffee shop where people happened to go and play chess about once a week. This guy was basically bragging about how great he was. The guy he had beef with was a USCF rated expert. Basically, after he talked all this trash about how great he was, he overheard the expert mention to someone else entirely that he was an expert - and then started talking trash to other people about how the other guy couldn't possibly be an expert. They ended up sitting and playing and the expert beat him soundly. After that, he hated the USCF rated expert guy. I was basically a woodpusher, I beat the expert exactly *once*, and it was after months and months of playing and learning, and he looked pretty tired at the time. I figure the dude's behavior was basically a matter of trying to deny the embarrassment he caused himself in a weird sort of way. For months after that, every time I saw that guy he would start in. I don't remember him starting in after I went off on him.

I read somewhere that some 60% of the population should be on Prozac.
After seeing this. . .perhaps that statistic is not far off. . .
My wife has already expressed her opinion of me playing HC, and told me exactly how sympathetic she's going to be when my characters die... to sum it up briefly: not particularly sympathetic.
Posts: 1,541View profile
Haha, my wife laughs every time I die and assumes I'm finally going to quit. Sadly I've got a collection of 60's to fall back on.
Serious question though, I don't understand this DDos thing. Worst case scenario, how would a malicious person find your IP and crash you?

In other words, the standard issue "look" lol
I'm assuming that if you talk with them on Skype, or in some way that makes your computer communicated directly with theirs (rather than through and intermediary like a server), they can see the IP Address of your computer. They can then flood your computer with messages (something as simple as pings or more complicated messages) which chew up your bandwidth and make you disconnect. They can even use a large number of computers to send these messages suddenly, and at the same time.
That's the gist of it.
LMAO... Thank you. I was imagining what my GF would do, although she doesn't understand the concept of hardcore, I'm sure there would be that "look" followed by, "that's what you get for messin' around so much on that dumb game."

70 Blood Elf Warlock
The Shadowflame Society is looking for RP members only, specifically warlocks. Shadowflame Society is a school and scholarly society for warlocks to experiment, research, teach and learn.
Shadowflame Society is strictly a warlock guild; There will be no exceptions to any other class for entry into the guild. All races that can be warlocks are accepted. We require all slots to be filled, including teaching positions and general associates of high rank. These higher ranking positions come with some responsibility, such as planning and carrying out RP.
The Guild Bank is off limits to members of any rank. I created this guild originally for my personal bank, and decided to run RP with it if anyone had interest in participating. Thus, the bank is still mine. Apologies if you had plans to use it..
We accept all levels, but would prefer if you want a high ranking position, that you get to at least level 60. Members may rank up to these higher levels through RP participation, and progression of their character.
"How do I go about getting acquainted with the society?"
The Society usually are outside of the public cities, in Felwood at Shadow Hold.
Severan Nefaria is a known warlock in Silvermoon City, one might hear word of mouth about the society. One must send an introduction letter to Severan (Severand) in order to be considered for their membership. They will be sent a response with the location and time of an IC meeting, before being accepted into the Society.
The meeting will consist of a few basic questions about their intent of the Society, what sort of position they hope to achieve and maintain. (Student, associate, teacher.) Their upbringing, and why they chose to learn the darker arts over the betterment ones. Once they are accepted, they will be given a 'mentor' to refer to. Whether it's a teacher for the students, or a higher ranking associate for a member.
If you want or have more than one warlock alt in the guild, that character will start at a bottom rank and work their way up just as your first. (Unless of course, you are looking for a higher rank to start for one of your characters. Depending on what we need at that time.)
If you're looking for RP, you'll find it in Shadowflame Society, Sentinels.
Threats of violence. We take these seriously and will alert the proper authorities.

Wear a kayak - sit in a canoe
Posted by: willi_h2o on Jan-28-13 8:50 AM (EST)
-- Last Updated: Jan-28-13 8:52 AM EST --
I was under the impression that a kayak is
supposed to fit you and react to your body
movements from toes to head.
Quite similar to a canoe with a saddle to kneel
upon and use your body to control maneuverability.
A big-flat-floating-platform defeats that concept
of paddling with any skill, diluting the sport.
I call them Fishing Platforms - not kayaks.

looking for ideas for street-facing flowerbed
Hi folks. First I wanted to say I'm a big fan of this site. I've never been a regular, but there have been countless time a google search has led me here. In fact, I can't remember any other site that I regularly wound up on when I was searching for plant-related stuff. Thanks to everyone who participates and provides such a useful treasure trove of information.
Okay, on to my question. I have a little strip right on the curb that measure 14 feet long by 3 feet wide. The mailbox is in the center and the long side is adjacent to our driveway. Both sides taper off a bit on the ends. We pulled up all the sod up and put in a border of sunken blocks (level with the soil). We have a two-fold goal of having a nice street facing garden and avoiding mowing and weed-eating the tricky bit around the mailbox.
We want to put flowers and some groundcover in (sedum, ivy). The one thing that will for sure be going there are some irises that my wife brought from her mom's house before she sold it. They'll probably take up about 6 square feet of this area. The rest is up for grabs.
My concerns are that it's directly at the curb and we live in Minneapolis. We have long, hard winters and we're in zone 4a. We're on a residential street where they plow often, so most of the winter there's going to be a giant snow bank on top of this area. They don't really use any salt on our street, so we don't expect that to be an issue. But during the spring, the snow melt will keep this area the wettest for the longest of any area in our yard.
So I'm looking for suggestions and general tips on what to plant there. We're big fans of perennials, though we'll probably plant a few annuals at the tapered areas because one end is where people often drive off the edge of the driveway (*eyeroll*) and the other is where mower incidents are most likely to happen. I think those irises will be okay, since they've been at her mom's in South Dakota for 20 years and have done well when we transplanted them in our garden (had to stick them somewhere).
I'd like to avoid having everything bloom all at once and then just be a bunch of greenery the rest of the season. I'd also like to get some variation on height. I want to plant some flowy ivy that will spill over the curb. There's a yard a bit down the street where the guy has a TON of incredibly prodigious perennials right on the curb just like we want, so that makes me hopeful. Come to think of it, I should really just go talk to him... but sometimes I find I get into chats with him a lot easier than I get out.
Anyway, he has this ivy ground cover stuff like I'm talking about so we'll just copy that. We'll probably put some lilies in, but we'll want to keep the height down a bit to avoid overwhelming the mailbox. I'm also interested in a variety of different flower types. We have moles (and therefore, probably voles) but they left the irises in the garden untouched.
We were thinking of tulips, but I worry that the late snow pack, the abundant moisture and the possibly vole munching may be too much for them. Hmm, other random things we've considered is indian blanket (Gaillardia pulchella) and a peony.
The area has pretty rich soil from what I've seen. I had a soil report run a few years ago but I can't find it. I know it wasn't highly one way or the other, and the grass does fine in it. Once the snow melts, it's pretty well drained. Due to the city replacing the road and tearing up the yard, when they refilled it there's a few pockets that have higher-than-average amounts of small rocks. And every once in a while there's a small chunk of clay or two.
Okay, that's probably way too much. Wonder if anyone is still reading. :D Let me just close by saying we're pretty unsophisticated gardeners and tend towards the lazier options (as much as possible).
Thanks for reading!
Thanks for the suggestions. My wife didn't go for rudbeckia when I suggested them. The shasta daisies might be a win, though. We have some foxglove in the backyard and so far I'm not a big fan. Maybe I could find a variety that struck my fancy. It appears to be a biennial requiring some help in reseeding, though, right?
The poppies and hibiscus are definitely a possibility. We already have a large stand of geraniums right around a stump in the back, so we might want to try something different.
But no hosta. Sorry. I hates 'em. ;)
(Oh, and I think any bleeding hearts would get burned. We have some planted in the northwest inset corner of our house and they love it there. This area would definitely get more sun than that.)
Thanks again for the suggestions. We MAY plant some lilies, but right now we already have a ton in different areas (the entire north side of our house is daylilies) so we may be lily-ed out. Possibly some pink or white asiatic ones. Good to hear about the snowbank. I thought that might be the case, but the lateness of it melting worried me. Last year we got a lot of snow and it wound up coming up to the bottom of the mailbox after plowing. Melted early, though.
I have some sedum that I'm planing on planting. My wife loves columbine so it's good to hear it would work out there.
Most areas, ivy is a pest that should be declared noxious and I wouldn't plant it. I would look instead at (I don't check zones, so you'll have to) pachysandra, epimedium, ajuga, or asarum. Or whatever else your local nursery has in stock. Sedums might be fine, not sure if it will be too wet for them.
Irises are interesting in a flower bed because of the way they spread. They aren't really good neighbours with other plants, unless it is something like shasta daisy that will insinuate itself anywhere it can throw a feeler, like into the middle of an iris patch. If you want low maintenance, you could do worse than just irises interspersed with shastas.
Irises and peonies bloom together for me (peonies go a bit longer), and then the show's over. Daisies bloom later. Visit the garden centre throughout the season to see what they have in stock for that time. But whatever you go for, look for the late-blooming varieties.
In addition, ground covers can become so packed that they suffocate perennials. So if you plant both, your maintenance includes keeping patches open for the perennials.
I'm 150 miles and a half hardiness zone north of you - and I don't plant my street facing boulevard simply because I couldn't enjoy it and I'm behind an old, dense lilac hedge anyway.
However, the U of MN extension offers a list of successful boulevard plants for The Cities (PDF format, can't cut and paste) - including daylilies, hostas, iris, lamb's ears, monarda, nepeta, peonies, phlox, sedums, Veronicas... none of what I have from the list suffers any from deep hard pack snow cover from Nov/Dec to Mar/Apr. In fact, extreme cold with no snow cover is much more deadly.
Do people park along your street? Would a boulevard planting suffer foot traffic damage?
Thanks for keeping the suggestions rolling, folks!
I really shouldn't have said "ivy". The thing I'm wanting to plant isn't really such a thing. It's a creeping ground thing but it's not ivy. I'll let you know when I can get by Bachman's and identify it (or ask the neighbor).
We don't mind a bit of work like thinning and culling, we're just trying to avoid things that are finicky and require you to do certain things at specific times every year (like you need to mulch this week, then pull the mulch off, then put in this kind of fertilizer, then water it this much, but not more, etc. etc.)
Sedums love it here, in general.
That sounds like a great document, duluthinbloomz4. Do you have a URL or if not, the title of it? I could probably track it down.
People sometimes park along the street, but almost never in front of our house and pretty much never in front of our mailbox (where this bed is surrounding). Also, we have strong curbs so other than the slightly overhanging creeper I mentioned, it won't be in the street. I expect the mailman will probably clip it every once in a while but that's okay, cause he's a nice guy. :)
BTW, I was just up north a couple of weeks ago. Man, those lupine were beautiful!
Was it this?
Looking for that, I ran across this, which also looks really useful.
Just to clarify, this isn't a boulevard but just the street-facing (curbside) strip of my lawn that surrounds my mailbox. But yeah, the suggestions for plants in those documents are definitely applicable.
I've been up north a dozen times, and I've always managed to miss the lupines blooming. But they arrived at the perfect time for a friend's wedding. She had a of freshly picked lupine!
Okay, so I talked to the guy and what he has is Lysimachia nummularia (moneywort/golden creeping jenny). Yes, I know, it spreads. One thing that will help is that there's not a ton of water in this spot. Plus it's Minnesota. It will still try to get in the sod but I think we can handle keeping it busted back (especially with the three inch wide blocks to help form a slight obstacle). His have spread quite a bit in the non-grass areas, but they are co-existing peacefully around the other tall perennials (going on three years now). And if nothing else, there's always Roundup. ;)
The best part is he said I could take all the cuttings I need from his. So I'm willing to risk it.
Well, we took the plunge and planted a bunch of stuff:
Asclepias tuberosa (butterfly weed)
Coreopsis (a sulphur-yellow variety called Moonbeam)
Gaillardia x grandiflora (an Indian Blanket variety called Arizona Sun)
Shasta Daisy (a little shorter "Snow Cap" variety)
Peony (Sarah Bernhardt)
Penstemon x mexicali (Red Rocks Beardtongue)
Aquilegia (Songbird Robin columbine)
Delphinium grandiflorum (Summer Nights/larkspur)
Delphinium (pacific giant/King arthur - only one very tall one next to the mailbox - it was just so beautiful. too bad about the short lifespan)
Phlox paniculata (White/Red Eye Flame)
Echinacea purpurea (coneflower)
Sedum reflexum
the purple irises already mentioned
a single bearded iris that we picked up somehow
There's still a few open spots so I'll probably pick up a two or three more perennials and call it done. I'm probably only going to plant one tiny area with moneywort just so I can see how it behaves in that area. Might save some hassle.
Excellent choices! You have picked some of my all-time favorites, particularly garden phlox and delphinium (though they can be a bit particular). Perhaps you might try a hollyhock or two at the back of the bed for some height? They would go very well with the phlox, delphinium, etc. They are a biennial, but super, super easy reseeders.

Styling Tip
Step 1: Combine a quarter-size amount of styling lotion with a few drops of shine serum and apply onto damp hair. Blow dry two-inch sections straight with a paddle brush and then create a side-part.
Step 2: Avoiding the top six inches, slightly twist a one-inch section of hair, mist it with styling spray and then wrap it around a medium curling iron. Hold for a few seconds to set the curl, release and repeat all over.
Step 3: Lightly coat your fingers with shine serum and run through your hair to break up the curl.

Mavs to sign D-Fish; What's the next move?
NOV 29, 2012 8:36a ET
"I think he can really help our situation with experience, defensively and really all areas of the game,'' Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said. "Right now the point guard position is a challenge.''
This is no "savior play.'' Dallas, 7-9 while playing without the rehabbing Dirk Nowitzki, now might also be without starting PG Darren Collison, who injured a finger and did not play in Wednesday's loss at Chicago. By the time Dallas plays host to the Pistons on Saturday, Fisher may be the starter at a position where Collison is hurt, Dominique Jones is struggling, Roddy Beaubois is unproven and rookie Jared Cunningham is unready.
There is another transaction coming, as Dallas already has 15 guaranteed guys. Don't hold your breath for Fisher to come here in a way that triggers a noteworthy trade. For those speculating that Collison will be the odd man out, he's certainly not talking that way.
"I think his leadership will help," Collison said of Fisher "He's been around the NBA for a very, very long time. He's going to help me grow into the player I want to be.''
An educated guess here: The Mavs will either waive a player or give one away via trade (where a team wants them for nothing) in order to free up a slot. And know that contrary to some reports, the vast majority of the Mavs playersare available to be traded.
The following cannot be traded: (1) Elton Brand can't be traded any time this season, (2) Troy Murphy can't be traded until around Feb 1, and (3) Chris Kaman and O.J. Mayo can't be traded until Dec 15. So if the Mavs wanted to open up a roster slot by getting rid of one of those four, it could only be via waiver. But every other player on the roster is permitted to be traded, if Dallas finds a taker.
Meanwhile, Collison has had a rough go since beginning the season so well. He is at 12.9 points and 6.3 assists this season but that is highly deceiving. He's been a mess in the clutch as a defender and distributor as the Mavs have lost eight of the last 11. If he hadn't hurt his finger, he'd likely still be this team's No. 1 PG. ... even though he came off the bench in Tuesday's loss to the Sixers. (It can be presumed, maybe, that a healthy Collison would've started in the loss at Chicago.)
And Fisher? He's a big-time shot-maker and a worker bee on defense – and a top-notch leader. He proved all that in all those years with the Lakers and last year with OKC, too. But again, this is a stop-gap, not a salvation.
The possibility that he does nothing more than clog the development of the Mavs' kids is a potential negative. And then there is this, mean-spirited as it may be: A few months ago Dallas was planning to sign All-Star Deron Williams to start at point guard. Then it settled for Darren Collison. Now it's settling for Derek Fisher. … a bus driver at best.
