Horrible! Painful! The worst!
"I bought these things based on the excellent reviews. Never in a million years did I think they would be as horrible and painful as they were! I don't understand how anyone could think these horrible "massage bumps" or whatever they're called are in any way comfortable. They literally bruised my feet. The soles of my feet were so sore after wearing them for a day, that I actually took them off and walked home barefoot across the asphalt to relieve the pain. Returning these horrid things today."

Movement 1: Emerson: Slowly
Movement 2: Hawthorne: Very fast
Movement 3: The Alcotts
Movement 4: Thoreau: Starting slowly and quietly
The composer and writer Kyle Gann astutely pinpointed the 'Concord' Sonata's radical nature in its reversal of the usual European-based convention of a large, multi-movement work progressing from unity to multiplicity. Ives reverses this paradigm by starting with complexity and mass (qualities that run rampant throughout 'Emerson' and 'Hawthorne'), and eventually winding his way down towards simplifying the textures and bringing the melodic and thematic elements into sharper and calmer focus in the more lyrical, reflective 'Alcotts' and 'Thoreau' movements. This does not mean that the issues have been sorted out, for the final page flirts between C major and D flat major, gently but firmly refusing to resolve. The celebrated four-note 'fate knocking at the door' motif that starts Beethoven's Fifth Symphony serves as a binding agent, transformed from a craggy, pounding emblem within the tumultuous scenario of 'Emerson' to its plaintive, trusting, hymn-like guide in 'The Alcotts'.
For all of the 'Concord' Sonata's instinctive cohesion and sustained invention, an improvisatory impulse governs its sense of flow and declamation. Ives himself never played the work the same way twice, and often interpolated additions, note changes, and even passages that were not written out. 'This is the only piece which every time I play it or turn to it, seems unfinished', he said. The standard 1947 revised edition generally used today (and used here) incorporates numerous changes and corrections Ives had made over the years since the work first appeared. Still, Ives scholars perusing earlier source material will find fascinating and plausible alternative readings. One major issue for pianists tackling the 'Concord' concerns the brief two-bar ad-lib viola line at the end of 'Emerson', and the additional flute part gracing the last two pages of 'Thoreau'. According to the composer and Ives specialist James Tenney, the line is a point of reference to the music's earlier incarnation as part of the aforementioned, unfinished 'Emerson' Concerto, where it is played by the viola. The pianist can either play it or not in 'Emerson'. What's significant is that Ives refers to this ad-lib line as a 'viola part', not as a line explicitly to be played by a violist in a performance of the 'Concord' Sonata. For this reason Marc-André Hamelin plays the line himself (on the piano, not the viola!). Although Ives considered the flute part in 'Thoreau' optional (and provides an alternative, solo piano reading of that music), the effect evokes Ives's image of Henry David Thoreau playing his flute over Walden Pond with a touching immediacy that the solo piano reading only suggests.

After the small technology firm he worked for was acquired by IBM, Vageesh Kumar moved into strategy management at Booz & Company. Following a couple years in marketing with Bayer, Vageesh decide he wanted to further explore his interest in tech, which led him to Chicago Booth. There he found himself at the "intersection of entrepreneurship, technology, and business"—a perfect spot to secure his senior product manager position in web services for Amazon.
Booth was the first choice for Vageesh when he decided he wanted to make the career shift from strategic marketing of consumer goods to product management in the technology industry. Booth impressed Vageesh when he visited the campus as a prospective student, and he was even more delighted with what he gained once in the program, and beyond.
From day one Vageesh was blown away by how advanced the topics of discussion were in class—a level on par with even the most successful tech start-ups in existence today. "What we covered in Week 3 were the kinds of things that people were using at Facebook," said Vageesh. "There is nothing better than this. You are learning the best of the best."
Being on the vanguard of how business is done, no matter the industry, is what makes a degree from Booth so versatile. The flexible curriculum offers another element of versatility that allows students to strategically select courses important to their individual career path. As Vageesh said, "I was able to quickly get up to speed on how start-ups work and how to solve problems in the technology industry… I was taking classes in entrepreneurship and working with a start-up group right in the first quarter."
The high caliber of analytical skills is one part of a Booth education that Vageesh recognized in his own success story. Another prong is how it prepared him to be confident in the workplace. "If you are going into a meeting, you have to be able to discuss all the possible angles, challenge assumptions, including your own, and to draw this out in other people."
Vageesh was similarly impressed by the power of the Booth network. "I got my internship through Booth alumni," said Vageesh. "I received a call from an alumnus who had graduated last year and he said, 'I have heard about you and I think you will be a great candidate for our tech company."
Booth's influential network was also helpful to Vageesh when he was inquiring about Amazon. He reached out to a number of alumni working at the company and through his conversations with other Booth graduates, he got a feel for the company culture, how to prep for interviews, and how to navigate building a team once an offer was extended.
Vageesh also has a bachelor's of technology in metallurgical engineering and materials science from the Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai, India. While at Booth he was a co-chair of the Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital group and participated in the High Tech and Marketing groups, and helped run "Startup Academy," which helps students learn how to build start-ups
Swanand Gupte already has globally recognized companies such as Deloitte and McKinsey on his resume. However for this Mumbai native to reach his long-term career goals, he would have to go back to the US and back to the books to gain a fundamental understanding of business from a top-tier school.
Now in his second year at Chicago Booth, Swanand is building off a solid foundation of business frameworks and real-world experience.
Swanand had the opportunity to use his general management skills over the summer as a corporate strategy management intern at Cummins, Inc., in Columbus, Indiana. Working mainly on initiatives flowing out of the CEO's office and the company's leadership team, he attacked projects ranging from growth strategy for Cummins's smaller lines of business to evaluating potential partnership prospects for the firm.
Cummins's senior director of corporate strategy noticed how well Swanand was able to accomplish the duties of his specific role. "Swanand enthusiastically took on the challenge of understanding the complex supply chain of a business under consideration and looked for opportunities to partner. He quickly got up to speed on the intricacies of an industry new to him, classified parts of the chain based on their strategic value, and zeroed in on the most critical parts."
Swanand's performance came as no surprise to his boss. "Cummins has had a great run with Booth students for the three years that we have been recruiting," he said. "Our Booth interns and full-timers stand out in a lot of ways. They are consistently well-rounded, including skills like modeling and stats as well as softer, less tangible skills like communication and leadership."
He went on to note that all of their student hires from Booth have aligned well with company values. "Swanand has exceeded Cummins's high hurdle in a number of ways. His enthusiasm is as remarkable as it is contagious and applies to both work and social situations. His intellectual curiosity has also been a great add to our corporate strategy department."
Swanand also has a bachelor's degree in engineering from Mumbai University in India and a master's in engineering from Georgia Tech in Atlanta. At Booth, he is involved in the Corporate Management and Strategy Group, South Asia Business Group, Operations Strategy Group, and Management Consulting Group.
Boston Consulting Group
After her first year at Chicago Booth, Katy Leoni was more than prepared for a summer consultant position at Boston Consulting Group. Using the problem solving and critical thinking skills she had learned in class, Katy took on her new role in a way that caused even her boss at BCG to take notice.
"Katy has really impressed me with her ability to come into a topic with which she has had no experience, hit the ground running, and come up with real insight," said the BCG principal based in Washington, DC to whom Katy reported. "She is truly tenacious in her approach, looking for paths to success rather than letting hurdles get in her way."
Katy credits Booth's unique MBA program with her competence on the job. She explains that the option at Booth to take courses in year one that would be available only in the second year at other schools is invaluable.
"The curriculum allows me to take a lot of interesting electives, like in economics and in organizational behavior," Katy said. "And because of that, I've looked at many different case studies in my first year and was able to pull examples from and apply them to real-life situations."
At BCG, Katy's skills were recognized and appreciated right away.
"One part of Katy's work was to try to size and define a next-generation market in a complex medical diagnostics area—a very vague and difficult task, especially as this market doesn't even really exist yet," said the principal on her project. "Rather than being stymied by this, Katy developed a plan to leverage a set of relevant analogues, interviews with experts, and her own analysis to come up with a reasonable estimate—truly impressive."
The internship, which revolved around analyzing the viability of pursuing a new technology for oncological treatment for a global pharmaceutical company in New York City, was an opportunity for Katy to exercise the rigorous analysis, critical thinking, and problem solving she had been exposed to in school. In addition to conducting research on the potential market, she built a financial model to evaluate potential partnerships for the initiative.
Katy's efforts are on par with Chicago Booth's reputation. As her boss noted, "I have worked with many Booth graduates. I find them very intelligent—as expected—but also highly committed to getting to the heart of a problem and a desire to solve it."
Katy comes from a background in international business. She went to the NYU Stern School of Business for her undergraduate degree and worked in Washington, DC, as a contractor for the US Agency for International Development before enrolling at Booth. She is an active member of Booth's Management Consulting Group, Business Solutions Group, and Chicago Women in Business.
No one from the New York City theater company where Jocelyn Florence worked had gone to business school or even had "MBA" on their radar. Jocelyn was definitely "branching off into unknown territory" when she left her job as a producer for stage music and comedy to pursue a degree at Chicago Booth.
"I felt like I really had a tailor-made experience," said Jocelyn of her first year at Booth. In addition to her courses, Jocelyn had an internship with Redmoon, a 20-year-old Chicago-based performance arts group that does large-scale spectacles in public spaces. "Redmoon brought me on to help create a business plan for their new space and to drive the creation of some capital campaign targets, pitch documents, and other related communications."
Hiring a business school intern wasn't exactly on the docket for Redmoon co-artistic director Jim Lasko. However, after meeting Jocelyn at a benefit in March 2013 he decided to structure an internship around her skills and proposed business solutions.
"I have given Jocey an enormous job," said Lasko. "She has been given an idea and it has been up to her to lay a structure over that idea and to test each aspect of that structure. She is solving problems every day and working toward a more comprehensive plan by building upon each solution in a methodical, step-by-step way."
Redmoon recently expanded to a 57,000-square-foot warehouse in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood with the aim of creating a venue for rental and ticketed programming. Jocelyn says she focused on the bigger picture of creating a framework for the organization to eventually produce its own shows and events. She used fundamental approaches she learned at Booth to consider challenges with a critical eye and from many different angles.
"The general Booth 'question everything' philosophy has been really helpful to me this summer," said Jocelyn. "When it came to developing a business plan, I wasn't just accepting the first opinion or that things had to be done a certain way because that is how they had always been done."
After graduation Jocelyn hopes to continue working in the industry of live event production that's open to the public. "I am interested in, for instance, joining a team that does major political campaigns of parties or other large-scale public events," she said.
Jocelyn also has a degree in English from Middlebury College, a small liberal arts school in Vermont. She is involved in Booth's Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital club, the planning committee for SeedCon (an annual entrepreneur conference), Media and Entertainment Club (including the LA Trek), and the Travel, Transportation & Hospitality Club.
JP Morgan Chase
Guy Feibish jokes that, before going to Chicago Booth, he didn't know what a networking event was, had never written a cover letter, and hadn't worn a suit and tie since his Bar-Mitzvah. Now, Guy is employed by JP Morgan Chase as part of the company's highly exclusive Management Associates Program (MAP), a two-year rotational leadership program for select students from top business schools. As an associate, Guy will rotate across the firm's different lines of businesses and geographical locations.
Following an eight-year career as an officer in the submarine fleet and naval headquarters of the Israeli military, Guy transitioned into consulting and worked for Ernst & Young for a few years before deciding to get his MBA at Chicago Booth. Two years and a handful of offers later, Guy describes his experience as transformational.
"Coming from a different background, different culture, and speaking a different language, I was able to achieve all my goals thanks to the skills and the support I received from Booth," said Guy, who received offers in general management, finance, international strategy, and operations.
He cites the school culture and pay-it-forward attitude for Booth's ability to impact and influence. "People are very warm and everyone works together. Second-years are eager to give something back, whether it's being a co-chair, a career advisor, or admission fellow," said Guy, who was both a co-chair of the Armed Forces Group and a career advisor for first-year students during his second year at Booth. "As an alumnus, it doesn't matter if you are an executive, even if you graduated 20 years ago, you are always willing to help."
As students go into their careers, many find the collaborative nature they embraced at Booth affords an advantage once in the working world.
"I think what makes the difference is the interpersonal skills, the ability to communicate, to create a bond with your managers, peers, and subordinates," said Guy. "Living in a culture like Booth for two years gives you the skills and the mindset to act that way in your workplace. It really helped me build my relationship within my team working at JP Morgan Chase."
Being able to relate to and effectively communicate with colleagues is only one side of what Guy took away from his time at Booth. He also left with a solid framework of how to apply business thinking and use comparative strategy to tackle client problems and present precise, detailed solutions.
"If you do the analysis by this methodology, you are able to come up with a specific recommendation to say we should target XYZ for these specific clients and offer this kind of investment tool so we can have a win-win situation for both clients and the firm," said Guy. "My first rotation will focus on the JP Morgan Chase credit card business, building the firm brand, thinking about strategy, and new initiatives. The goal of the program is basically to grow and train the firm's next business leaders for the long term—five, 10, 15 years down the road."
For his undergraduate education, Guy went to the Tel Aviv University Recanti School of Management where he double-majored in economics and accounting. While at Booth, Guy participated in the 2011 Leadership Challenge and was actively involved in the Dean's Student Admissions Committee, Corporate Management and Strategy Group, Technology Group, and the Jewish Business Student Association.
Morgan Stanley
Francisco Lynce was an accomplished civil engineer in Portugal with published work to his name. When he decided to switch careers to banking, Francisco knew his journey would take him across the globe to the United States, to the school best suited for advancing his new professional aspirations.
"The MBA industry is much more developed in the US. I always wanted to study in a country that is known for its excellence in education and research," said Francisco. "Especially as a career switcher going into banking, I need to be associated with an MBA that is strong in finance. All of that led me to Booth's program."
After his first year, Francisco landed a summer internship with Morgan Stanley working in its investment banking division in London. Francisco said getting into Morgan Stanley was one of his top priorities. "It is a very challenging industry to get in to and you need to think on your feet. You need confidence in your ability and to be prepared… That's what I got with Chicago Booth."
Booth's flexible curriculum allowed Francisco to focus on courses in finance during his first year so he could get up to speed and secure an internship in banking, even with no prior experience in the field. In his second year, Francisco is taking classes in strategy, marketing operations, and general management.
Upon his arrival, Francisco was immediately impressed by the academic excellence he encountered around every corner. "At Booth I have access to the most brilliant professors in their fields," said Francisco. "They have vast experience in the real world and teach with the most exciting cases that can be explained in a systematic way with what we learn during classes."
Through his understanding of the Chicago Approach, Francisco became very comfortable questioning business practices and constructing new ideas. He brought that confidence to the table at Morgan Stanley and provided professional insights of his own, whether it meant thinking about a problem differently from his end or examining the viewpoints of senior people in the firm.
While he is still planning his next steps after getting his MBA, Francisco said his ultimate goal is to go back to Portugal—where the economic landscape is less stable—and start his own business, "Bringing together research, industry, policy, and management will make me a better leader with versatility to face the challenges and uncertainties of the future."
Francisco also has a master's degree in civil engineering from Instituto Superior Tecnico in Lisbon, Portugal. His extracurricular activities at Booth include participating in the Soccer Group, Investment Banking Group, and European and Latin American groups.
Chicago Ventures
Chicago's growing venture capital community is competitive for job openings every year. Yet Ezra Galston never sent a single resume to any of the VC firms he interviewed with, including the one that offered him a job. What are the odds? Ezra says Booth gave him the upper hand.
Following a two-year stint as a professional poker player and a marketing role with a gaming start-up, Ezra wanted to backup his on-the-job, trial-and-error training with a more formal, analytical-based education. He knew there wasn't a better school than Chicago Booth to build up his quantitative and data-driven marketing skills, and to provide a fluency in financial services and trading. But what Ezra didn't expect was the insight and support of second-year student mentors that, he says, essentially got him where he is today.
"Without having been a part of Chicago Booth I don't think there is any realistic chance I could have gotten a job at the firm I'm in right now," Ezra said, referring to his senior associate position with Chicago Ventures, a $40 million seed/early stage VC fund. "The other person we just hired spent three years at one of the biggest venture capital groups in the country, and I had relatively little experience – but I did have a Chicago Booth degree."
For Ezra, the biggest differentiator at Booth was the guidance and unique networking tactics of the second-year Career Advisors. Each year, a group of 40 second-years are selected to work with Career Services to help first-year students with goals ranging from finding an internship to figuring out what career path they want to pursue.
"Booth puts this entire framework in place with student advisors, mock interviews, and creative ways to cold email, cold call, and network," Ezra said. "I was very impacted by second-year mentors who had managed to get jobs in venture capital. They probably put in 40 to 60 hours of one-on-one mentorship with me during my first year."
Ezra said he was blown away by the intensity, work ethic, and drive of students at Booth. "I've met people who deeply care about the work they produce. It's not just about money or brand or pride. In a professional capacity Chicago Booth students are extraordinarily grounded and extremely driven to produce successful results," he said. "I've heard this from so many different people, that they recognize Booth students are the hardest working post-MBAs and summer interns they've seen. You're hiring a different caliber of student."
With venture capital increasingly shifting into a service industry that is more about relationships and adding value, it is more important than ever to showcase interpersonal skills, creative thinking, and innovative approaches to business. With the suggestion of his career advisor, when reaching out to prospective employers Ezra supplanted the customary resume with "dynamic collateral" that highlighted his network and expertise. Rather than list the companies he had worked for, he put together a "relationship map" cataloging those he knows in the gaming industry—media, technical trades, celebrities, people on the marketing side. A venture capital firm interested in gaming investments sees the immediate value Ezra brings with him. That Booth-inspired approach to the job hunt opened nearly a dozen doors for Ezra with some of the biggest VC firms in the world.
"There are a lot of brilliant people vying for very few jobs no matter what industry you're in," Ezra said. "Booth is really an extraordinary positive signal and a big stamp of credibility. The school literally opens doors."
For his undergraduate studies, Ezra attended a division of New York University called Gallatin School of Individualized Study where he majored in Happiness (no joke). While at Booth, he was a co-chair of the Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital group and for the Jewish Business Students Association, and he organized two VC treks (to New York and Silicon Valley).
Kurt Salmon
The path Elspeth Wilde took to find her first consulting job is a prime example of the Chicago Booth network at work. When recruiting for her internship, she contacted alumni from around the world and received eye-opening insights that helped her secure a position in the consulting industry.
Elspeth comes from a background in retail. She worked for three years in buying and merchandising at Saks Fifth Avenue's corporate office. While the experience was relevant to her summer internship as a senior consultant for Kurt Salmon's consumer and retail group, it was through her interactions with the Booth network inside the company that recruiters discovered Elspeth was the right fit for the role.
"I recruited at a variety of different firms. When I came across Kurt Salmon, I used our Community Directory and learned there were a number of alumni who have worked or currently work there," said Elspeth. She reached out to a Booth alumna who is a current employee at Kurt Salmon to show her interest in the company. "I was able to get in touch with the firm and make connections. It was a good opportunity for them to get to know me and screen whether I was a good fit for them as well. And actually, the alumna I initially contacted ended up being my mentor throughout the summer."
Elspeth and her team were responsible for multiple work steams including the data analysis and validation for several internal surveys being conducted for the client. The surveys were comprehensive and resulted in extensive information that the team needed to present to the client. Due to the strong analytical foundation at Booth, Elspeth was well equipped for her task of sifting through survey responses to identify and creatively present data that would validate pertinent information as needed by her team.
"When you come into an environment and are expected to be at a certain level, it's really important to hit the ground running," said Elspeth of her internship duties. "I feel like Booth students are definitely prepared in that respect."
In addition to the analytical frameworks Booth is known for, Elspeth said the school teaches future professionals how to hone the soft skills and work better in teams.
"It is less competitive in that sense which really helps in the workplace because it makes you more adept at working in a collaborative environment, as opposed to leaving school with a more individualist mentality," she said. "Teamwork tends to be one of the most important things companies stress as critical to success on the job."
Spending so much time with a diverse group of classmates—listening to their experiences and learning from them—provided Elspeth with reference points for thinking through different situations that she could apply throughout her internship at Kurt Salmon. "It all comes back to being self-aware, observant, and understanding that people have different personalities."
Elspeth also has a bachelor's degree in political science and a certificate in business from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. At Booth, she is an Admissions Fellow, Career Advisor, and a member of the Retail, Apparel, and Luxury Group, Marketing Group, Management Consulting Group, and Chicago Women In Business.
As a graduate of Chicago Booth, Chloe Kelley is in good company at her new job with Pacific Investment Management Company. Chloe was one of nine Booth students who did an internship with PIMCO last year, and this year she joined the ranks of Booth alumni employees when she accepted a full-time position as an account manager in the organization's New York office.
"PIMCO has a fairly large internship program, and many of us were from Booth," said Chloe of her time at the company's Newport Beach, California location last year where she worked primarily with corporate sector clients.
"During my internship I traveled to meet with clients to talk about their portfolios. Being from Booth really helped: "In my first-year coursework, I had a chance to look at portfolio theory, understand portfolio management, and get a better feel for the industry and the different types of clients in the industry and their needs."
Chloe used the frameworks she had learned in portfolio management and other classes, including marketing and competitive strategies, to think about what clients needed and to tailor presentations and conversations to those needs. "Even as an intern I could take the data, parse it in the right way, analyze it, and put together a presentation and actually present it to a meeting of fairly high-level employees in the firm who were making decisions about the direction of a marketing campaign."
In the day-to-day of the role that Chloe calls being the "face of PIMCO," she meets with clients to help them understand what's going on in the world, gives them a sense of how their money is being managed, and provides confidence that PIMCO is best positioning their portfolio to outperform in the future. But beyond the extremely important client interface, it is also crucial for Chloe to have a deep comprehension of the data behind the decisions and management of her clients' assets.
"The firm has recognized that Booth students have strong analytical capabilities, which is something they are looking for in all of their roles in account, product, and portfolio management," Chloe said. "At Booth, we have the opportunity early on in our curriculum to focus on what we knew would be important for investment management roles helped us stand out in the interview process and throughout the internship as well. We were able to do some of the higher-level analysis, data analysis, and statistical analysis using different macroeconomics frameworks."
Chloe also has a degree in international business from the University of Georgia. Before attending Booth she spent two years as a credit research analyst at JP Morgan in New York and three years as a fixed income portfolio manager at EARNEST Partners in Atlanta. While at Booth she was a co-chair and macroeconomics advisor of the Investment Management Group and participated in the African American MBA Association student group, Emerging Markets Group, and Epicurean Club.

Wow, that's insanity like none other. Even on normal this fight looks like it will give Lich King a run for his money. Congrats on the kill and thanks for the video as always

By not realizing this sooner we wasted so much time on him it's just sad.Make sure to assist him by using abilities such as frost trap, frost nova and other AoE slow and stun abilities. This is incredibly important! Whenever a skeleton lands a hit on a raid member, they gain a buff called Empower, which increases their damage and movement speed by 10% a stack. This buff can grow infinitely, so it's crucial that the skeletons land as little hits as possible on your raid. It's very easy to see when skeletons stack this buff up high, as they grow enormously large.
What you want to do in P1 is have the add tank pick all of them up and then position them at your assigned position (it can be anywhere, depends if you want to keep Nefarian in the middle of the room in P3 or at the side; both positions work but you need to adjust to them). They are easily tanked with the help of a cooldown or two. Once they are in position stuns such as Shadowfury and Shockwave are very good ways to decrease the damage taken by the tank. It is quite important to have all of them at the same spot so that they all ress up at the same time during P3. If they split up the fire might get quickly out of control and cover the position of your raid. It will also make "resetting" the add's energy a lot harder.
For P3 we found out that watching the Shadowblaze was quite hard because of the boss position. We kept him in the middle of the room which meant that by the time you could see it, it was already too late to move. However, there is a trick. Shadowblaze has a set timer. You can't see it. I believe there's no combat log event for it either. We established that the cooldown of Shadowblaze decreases the longer the fight lasts until it reaches 10 secs. The blazes will not spawn more often than those 10 secs. It goes like this:
0:00 - First Shadowblaze resurrects all of the adds
0:30 - Second Shadowblaze (30 secs after the previous one)
0:55 - Third Shadowblaze (25 secs after the previous one)
1:15 - Fourth Shadowblaze (20 secs after the previous one)
1:30 - Fifth Shadowblaze (15 secs after the previous one)
1:40 - Sixth Shadowblaze (10 secs after the previous one)
1:50 - Seventh Shadowblaze (10 secs after the previous one)
And so on until you kill him. With our dps we needed only two successful resets to down him. If you can't achieve the second reset, it is very likely that your tank will die.
Something very important for P3 kiting is to not slow or stun those adds. They are perfectly tankable. Any slow or stun at the wrong time means that they are more likely to get hit by the flame. If that happens it's more or less game over. However, this does not mean that you must never stun them. As you can see from the times shown above there is a small window between the Shadowblazes that you can use. Once they are out of the fire, you can stun them (especially good for the last few secs before they reset as they will have a lot of stacks up by that point) and then keep moving.
Also, move as little as possible. Only move enough to keep the adds out of the fire. The rest of the time sit still and eat the damage. If you move around too fast you will spread the fire too quickly and eventually you will run out of kiting space.

Good info! Made a few annotations.
The encounter is bugged in a way so mages cant use ring of frost.
Con Brio is recruiting! Look within for details. www.conbrioguild.org
Mage Guide Author
Using Ring of Frost to me just seems to be ensuring that the adds will get hit by Shadowflame and have their energy reset to 100.
This is bad.
Sure, they should -allow- you to do it, but it's one of those instances where it'll do you more harm then good.
With consistent slows would it be possible to kite the adds indefinitely even if they keep touching fire? A frost death knight with chillblains can maintain a 50% slow permanently on the entire pack as long as he doesn't miss (are the adds boss-level enemies?), and slowly kite them around without getting hit, similar to the old lady deathwhisper strategy.
Does the fire behave in a way that would make this unreliable? The only thing I can think of is if they don't die you might have some difficulty turning around to get to the other side of the room without getting dangerously close to the raid, but since you're not worried about the adds standing in the fire you could get help from a frost mage's water elemental or something to give yourself time to change direction. You could also stack the raid on the opposite side of nef in the video (basically right up against the wall) to give the kiter as much room as possible.
This also could free up at least one healer. I suspect you'll still want one back with the kiter in order to heal him up between the lightning crackles, and maybe help direct the fire away from the raid. If you had a holy priest do it, body and soul would also make kiting around easier.

I haven't done the fight quite yet (this week prob) but according to Wowhead the adds are level 85 and have the ability http://www.wowhead.com/spell=81586.
Interesting, I haven't seen anyone mention that before. Probably because it's not all that noticeable unless you try to do exactly what I'm talking about. Assuming that stacks with the buff they build (odd that wowhead doesn't list that ability) at some point it'll just be unhealable. Too clever for me this time it seems blizzard.
You cannot kite them indefinitely. They gain stacking damage and movement speed buff. Ghos7Face described exactly how the adds should be treated in both phases.
Hurl Bone is never used under any normal circumstances.
Any tips on how to kite them in 10men mode?
I'm thinking the ranged dps kiter gathers them all and just move around until they go down. Is that correct?
Also, what damages the raid on P1 and P3 besides the crackle, if onyxia's discharge doesn't hit anyone? What about P2, if the adds are properly interrupted, all the damage would be from nefarian's bolts, and nothing more right?

This guy must be the poster child for class stacking. Disc priest? wee aoe only hits for 20k after 4.06 without any personal CDs. No disc priest? ouch 75k.
We are about to go for Nef next week so I'd also like a tip for the kiting. As we will be doing it 10man first before 25man, how do you use the two tanks? I'm assuming your gonna need both tanks on Onyxia and Nef during phase 1 so who does the kiting ? A dps or 1 of the tanks ?
We killed him with both kiting ways, last night we tanked nef in the middle so i can easily kite on the outer ring.. well that was the plan. It was a total mess due to taillash on me (kitetankg), they respawned and walk to a healer/tanking dk (aggro vom deathstrike). If next meteor is going to hit them there fire almost everyhwere..
Next time we'll definitely have Nefarian be tanked again on one position the entire fight (before and after flightphase) and kite the adds in a half-circle and back through the middle to the beginning - fire should be despawned by then. Works best for us.
About the kite/control in p1: if you have a dps druid or a frost dk let them do the kiting/offtanking, our mage died several times the other night due to unlucky tailswipes from Onyxia until he managed to survive like in the weeks before. Having some shackled/rooted/feared(warlock-glyphed) in place can be off help, too.
As the second tank for the encounter you need to give the raid as much time as you can to DPS Nef in phase 3, most guilds are only capable of letting 3 crackles go off before phase 3 (2 in phase 1, and 1 in phase 2). This leaves 5 crackles for phase 3. Which means phase 3 will last approximately 3:00 to 3:30.(assuming a crackle every ~40 seconds.) Using the information above from Ghos7face, and some clever positioning you can have the adds reset only 1 time and still give your raid the 3+ minutes of DPS time they need. Here is the timeline and positioning
0:00 - First Shadowblaze resurrects all of the adds
0:30 - Second Shadowblaze (30 secs after the previous one)
0:55 - Third Shadowblaze (25 secs after the previous one)
1:15 - Fourth Shadowblaze (20 secs after the previous one)
1:30 - Fifth Shadowblaze (15 secs after the previous one)
1:40 - Sixth Shadowblaze (10 secs after the previous one)
1:50 - Seventh Shadowblaze (10 secs after the previous one)
Position Nef parallel against the wall (anywhere on the circle will work).
The adds die at 0 Energy, and it takes ~50 seconds for the adds to go from 100 to 0 energy.
Shadowblaze is a projectile attack from Nef to the adds, it flies decently slow(like a shadowcrash). It has no cast time and Nef doesn't switch targets, but as mentioned above its on a timer.
0:00 - 0:30
It is unlikely that the first shadowblaze will ressurect all 5 adds together, most of the time they are slightly spread out. The fire follows the skeletons, so use the first skeleton up to kite the fire to the remaining skeletons lying dead(you must have all 5, don't CC one). You have 30 seconds to make sure every skeleton is up and running and get yourself into position to "drag" them along the perimeter of the room. Start as close the edge of nefs flame breath as you can, and don't move until the second Shadowblaze. (its not a big deal if the adds get re-energized you want this to happen in a moment anyway).
0:30 - 0:55
At the 30 seconds mark Nef will emote something about shadow and dust signifying a shadowblaze it will target the adds that you are still holding in place near his head. Once it hits and all 5 skeleton are at 100 energy, start backpeddling slowly around the perimeter of the room. At the 54-55 second mark, turn and sideways/strafe run for an extra burst of speed so the shadowblaze misses the adds, the longer flight time from his position to yours will help with this. As soon as you see it land, go back to backpedalling slowly.
0:55 - 1:15
Keep back pedalling with the adds and wait for the 1:14-1:15 mark to do another sideways/strafe run. Shortly after the fourth shadowblaze lands, the adds will die out. (approx 1:20). Let your healers know the adds died, and they have 10 second of almost no raid/2nd tank damage.
1:30 to Kill
Nef will shadowblaze again to res the adds, 3-4 should pop immediately, use the fire again to make sure you get all 5.
At this point the shadowblaze casts will get to fast to realistically keep the adds out of the fire. Instead, keep yourself out of fire, and use stuns and CD's to last as long as you can.
A decently geared tank can take hits from the adds up until about 25 stacks, it takes them another 1:40 seconds after dying to reach this amount.
This gives you approximately 3:00 minutes guaranteed DPS time for your raid. When the stacks are getting high wait for a shadowblaze, and move the adds clear of fire and call for any CC avaiable, then pull the remaining adds as far from the boss as you can and wait for nef to go down.
You'll likely die before that happens.
This unlikely strat works for two reasons, It eliminates the need of getting a second clear of the adds(as a second clear takes at least 1:40, and at that time Nef is casting shadowblaze in 10 second intervals) and by allowing the adds to stack up more movement speed, you can guarentee they will move quick enough so you can easily keep them out of a shadowblaze. Do not use slows or stuns until the adds have died for the first time.

This was by far the hardest fight for my team on 10man. Rheinhardt does a pretty good job of explaining phase three ill just add a few tips. We pushed three crackles in phase 1. To do this we burned ony to about 15% and left a frost mage on her then crackled three times. The key is to have ony die within one or two seconds of the third crackle or she will wipe the raid. Every crackle increases her bar so a third will make her explode if you dont time it right. We hit 60% in phase 2 and everyone popped a defensive cooldown. We started phase 3 at about 52% and popped hero because the start of phase 3 is the least hectic time. From there its just follow what Rheinhardtt says and dps your tooshy off. When the adds are about to hit untankable status drag them to the oposite end of the room and die. I cannot find a video or WOL were the wheels don't fall off the last 20%. Just hit your fears and novas and dps hard. If your about to wipe at the end your probably doing it right.
Hunter tips: I did this one my hunter so I have a few nuggets. Use glyph of raptor strike and aspect of the wild every 10% it really helps your healers and guarantees you don't die. Without those two things crackle hits for 80-90k, with them its 58-67k. At the start of phase 2 deterrence. If your fail like me lava will stack up on you a few times and deflecting a few shadow bolts will protect you. Dps nef the second he comes down. If your specced careful aim your phase 1 nef dmg should be very high and help push three crackles. Thats about all I got. For a reg mode fight this is a pretty stiff challenge at current gear lvls on 10man. My understanding is 25 is much simpler.
Our shaman+druid healer 10man cannot handle p2 healing with crackles, our best attempt is about 18-20%(start at 73% p3) that is when the reviving-fireballs get spammed every 10 seconds, so it's the soft enrage.
Should everyone just use a prismatic elixir and push for 2 electrocutes and start p2 at 52% and just keep retrying if we fail?
If only we could just start p3 at less than 55% we should beat him every attempt, it's the p2 damage that just seems to be overwhelming for just chain heals I guess.
We haven't killed it yet, but I'm a resto druid healing that phase, so a little tip for yours. Use tree form for that phase and you can keep a 3 stack of lifebloom up on everyone along with rejuvs. Toss in a swiftmend for efflo proc and a WG and you have a large amount of steady healing going to get everyone topped off quickly.
As for your shaman, CH spam doesn't seem like the best strategy for 10 man. I think the best strat would be CH to proc tidal waves, then using 2 Greater HWs to get the burst healing up. Keeping riptides up as often as possible before crackles to buff that first chain heal as well.
Also if you're struggling still, you can have any hybrid caster DPS help after crackles. Moonkin tranquility, ele healing rain/CH for a bit, and shadow priest Hymn would all help a ton. If you have a lock, make sure people are saving their health stones for that phase. Also make sure people are using whatever kind of help they can in terms of defensive cooldowns. Barkskin, shadow (or nether) ward, Ice Block, Mana Shield, Dispersion, Barrier, Anti-Magic Zone, etc. If you have more than 1 shaman or a hunter as well, have them glyph Healing Stream totem and turn on Aspect of the Wild (and make sure you have shadow prot from a priest) for that phase. Crackles are nature damage and I believe the bolts are shadowflame, so a priest buff + glyphed totem or pally aura will help a lot for that so make sure you're dividing your group to maximize your 3-4 man group effectiveness. If you have a particular healer struggling, give him a few people that can make it easier on him. As a resto druid, I get the 4 man pillar, so one of the people on there is our blood DK who I barely have to touch. A rejuv on him is plenty with his self healing and AMS.
Oh also, if you need your hunter to have some sort of damage reduction, get him to look into glyph of raptor strike for the second phase.
Gacktt. Phase 2 is really hard for healers on 10 man. No way around it. We had to sub out a druid because he couldn't keep up. Just do everything you can to limit dmg taken. That means shadow protection from priests or paladins and nature protection from shamans or hunters. We spent a night trying to start phase three at 70% we just couldn't do it. There is about a 50/50 chance we lose someone to crackle in phase 2 and have to wipe it even with the strat we use now. As gear improves it will be trivial but I cannot see any raid burning 70% in phase 3 thats just to much.

Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- When 6-year-old Dylan Hockley was memorialized at a service following the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, his parents were especially moved by one song.
A writer, Dushyanthi Satchi, had reworked the lyrics to the Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah," from Dylan's favorite movie, "Shrek."
"Dylan's Hallelujah" begins, "It's calm, it's clear, it's a peaceful day, walking through the heavenly gates, hand in hand with teachers and my friends."
"That one thing -- that song -- has been quite healing for us," Nicole Hockley, Dylan's mother, said Thursday.
There have been many musical tributes to the victims of the Dec. 14 tragedy, some put on by world famous performers, others by local musicians and many involving the children of Newtown.
Professional football players were on the verge of tears when a group of 26 children who escaped the Newtown shooting, including Dylan's older brother, Jake, joined Jennifer Hudson at the Super Bowl to sing "America the Beautiful." Another group of Newtown children will perform before the Grammy Awards this weekend.
"Humans have used music in healing forever," said Jane Matson, the choral director at Newtown High School. "It expresses our feelings and gets emotion out in a way that's constructive and beautiful. So I don't think it's any surprise that in trying to heal here, we would turn to music."
Members of Matson's chamber choir were among about 80 Newtown students who performed with dozens of Broadway stars including Brian Stokes Mitchell, Christine Ebersole and even Monkees frontman Micky Dolenz at a benefit show in Waterbury. The event "From Broadway with Love" was put on by Broadway producer Van Dean, who lives in nearby Trumbull and composer Brett Boles, who grew up in Newtown.
The choir joined star Michael Cerveris to sing "Sunday," a song from "Sunday in the Park with George" about finding the calm after chaos. They also sang "Somewhere" from West Side Story.
That show, whose audience included first responders and the parents of Sandy Hook victims, also featured the choir from Sandy Hook Elementary, on video, singing their school song.
"The idea was to have as many children as possible be a part of it, to give them something to get excited about," Dean said.
High school choir member Kyle Watkins said it was a chance for him and other Newtown kids to experience something positive, to express themselves and to feel like they were helping.
"Newtown is my home and the people are kind of like my family," he said. "A lot of us wanted to do something, but didn't know how to help. So for the choir, our way was singing. It was a miraculous experience."
That's also why Sabrina Post brought students from her performing arts school in Newtown to the nearby home recording studio of former Talking Head and TomTom Club band members Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, where they recorded a version of "Over the Rainbow" with folk singer Ingrid Michaelson.
Post said she wanted to show the children they could make a difference.
"One little girl, her neighbor died," she said. "And she said she thinks of her as singing with us when she sings."
The song rose to No. 12 on iTunes and to No. 2 on Amazon.com, said Tim Hayes, who co-produced the recording.
The children have been asked to perform this Sunday for the E! Network's Grammy Awards preshow, a segment that will air from Newtown. They also sang last month during a two-day concert event at the Ridgefield Playhouse, where other performers included Johnny Winters, Paul Shaffer and Paul Simon, who also sang at the funeral of Newtown teacher Victoria Soto.
Hayes said the children will do no other events after Sunday.
"We know the kids involved have had a wonderful experience, but we think this chapter is now done, and we want these kids to get back to being kids," he said.
Many of the events have raised thousands of dollars for various Newtown-related causes, such as mental health care for the first responders or children's programs at the local sports center. More than 50 local bands performed in clubs around Hartford one day last month to benefit the Sandy Hook School Support Fund.
This Sunday, a free concert will be held in Ridgefield. Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary fame helped organize the event after speaking with the family of Ben Wheeler, one of the children who died.
Yarrow said this performance, which features folk and blues artists such as Dar Williams and Guy Davis, is intentionally not a fundraiser. Guests, he said, will include Newtown families and first responder networks, educators and political leaders, with the theme of coming together to bring positive change to society.

Alleviates the itchies.
By Linda H2O
from Pollock ID
My border collie mix loves to swim, but scratches for hours afterward, due to dry skin, I presume. A daily dose of salmon oil on her food has alleviated this considerably. She also has a beautiful soft, shiny black coat.
Easy to use
By susamike
from Maine
My large 10 year old dog has developed a slow growing soft tissue sarcoma. We went to a holistic vet and to a vet oncologist. As the food part of their recommendations, they both recommended fish oil. I have no way of knowing the accuracy of the label on this, but it says it is salmon oil from Alaska wild salmon preserved with Rosemary. Can't go far wrong with that. I tasted it, and that is what it tasted like too. The dog likes it so much I can coat a pill with it, and he gobbles it down.

Love Plato treats
By Deca
from VA
My dog has allergies, and so far duck has been "safe" for her. These are not hard, but not soft either; they're big so I brake them in pieces to use as treats or crumble 1-2 on top of her food- that makes a bag last twice as long.
Favorite Duck biscuits
By travelercindy
from New Bern, NC
The consistency of the biscuit is not good. Sometimes they are very hard, other times they almost seem to be disintegrating or turning to dust. I don't understand....but my dogs still love them.

Not a strip at all
By Wendy
from Old Bethpage, NY
Was very surprised when I received this. It is not a strip at all. Its a small crumbly, very dry treat that didnt give my dog the pleasure of something to chew - just falls apart.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

A lot of people use alternate methods to watch movies and TV, as well as listen to music. That means everything but the standard home theater setup. However, most people probably don't get to experience the same quality that they'd get from that larger system. Gefen is hoping to add a little audio oomph to that smaller experience, with the company's new USB Audio Amplifier.
The USB Audio Amplifier is a compact attachment designed to output high-quality sound from any laptop or desktop computer. However, since it hooks up via USB, we're guessing it would just as easily work with any portable.
Despite the device's compact size, it can deliver 25 per watts per channel of amplification, in the standard two-channel, left/right format. In other words, it won't exactly shake the room, but it should shake up a not-to-stellar computer experience
The USB Audio Amplifier has left and right binding posts, so you can connect it directly to a pair of speakers. There's also an RCA connection, in case you want to add a subwoofer into the mix.
"Anyone wanting a bigger, more dynamic range of sound from their computer audio will appreciate the plug and play simplicity and nice sound quality of this device," said Hagai Gefen, Gefen's president and CEO.
Right now, there's no word on pricing or availability for the USB Audio Amplifier. However, Gefen is gearing it towards everyone from dorm dwellers to office worker to anyone else that wants strong sound from a computer-based audio source.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
