'Looking godlike in Bono's Fly shades'
18 February 2010
'Looking godlike in Bono's Fly shades'
Novelist Salman Rushdie was in hiding for fear of his life for many years. Then he showed up onstage with U2. Then he wrote a song with them. In this extract from The Sunday Times in 2001 he recalls how it all came about.
'When the Zooropa tour arrived at Wembley Stadium, Bono called to ask if I'd like to come out on stage. U2 wanted to make a gesture of solidarity, and this was the biggest one they could think of. When I told my then 14-year-old son about the plan, he said: "Just don't sing, dad. If you sing, I'll have to kill myself." There was no question of my being allowed to sing - U2 aren't stupid people - but I did go out there and feel, for a moment, what it's like to have 80,000 fans cheering you on.
The audience at the average book reading is a little smaller. Girls tend not to climb onto their boyfriends' shoulders, and stage-diving is discouraged. Even at the very best book readings, there are only one or two supermodels dancing by the mixing desk. Anton Corbijn took a photograph that day for which he persuaded Bono and me to exchange glasses. There I am, looking godlike in Bono's wrapround Fly shades, while he peers benignly over my uncool literary specs. There could be no more graphic expression of the difference between our two worlds.

ZOO TV still the best tour!
Granted, I've been to 360 degrees, Vertigo, Elevation, PopMart and Joshua Tree, I still believe ZOO TV was their best tour. Maybe it was because I was 22 and that was the best time to be at a U2 show, or maybe it was the whole spectacle of that show or maybe it was because I had really great seats; I'm guessing it was a combination of the three but I don't think I'll ever feel that way at at concert again. I came close when I made it into the Heart duing Elevation '01. But ZOO TV, that was the best concert I've ever been to.

Mission of literature and music
U2 and Salman Rushdie have always been a symbol of courage to call attention to everything what the others blench. Bono´s lyrics as well as Salman´s books thus become the manifesto of all people who are not afraid to change unchangeable into changed. Isn´t it the greatest mission of literature and music?
atomicmax76 - 20 February, 2010
My first ever concert
It certainly set the bar for pure entertainment. Great night.
aussiegirl - 19 February, 2010
an amazing show
I was at that show all those years ago - we were all so shocked to see him walk out onstage. An incredible moment!
Celticjohnny - 19 February, 2010
Different poetry but the same music!
Nice story. I heard about that momnet when I was living in Perth, Austraila - which is now a long time ago. Looking forward to the boys when they come to my new "adopted" home of Seville in September (concert on the nite before my wife´s 40th! Needless to say, I hope that they play the classic "40"). Anyway, who knows, maybe my fellow Irishmen might do a spot of Flamenco - like a fellow Dub did many years ago - before any of us were born! He was the "King Of Ireland". That was the late, great Señor Ronnie Drew.

Stand Up Salman!
U2 has always stood up for what they belive in and encouraged their fans to do the same. When Salman Rushdie stood on stage that night, it was a message of hope to say the least. Stand up for your right, don't give up the fight!
autumntree25 - 18 February, 2010
gods in different spheres..
True, you can't get much different than rock-and-roll and bookish. But Rushdie is a favorite author (avid reader, here) and U2 are not only my favorite band, but one of my favorite things God made, period. While they're different, both of their writings color the way I see things. I've been in the inner circle at a U2 show, and I can't imagine a greater night. But I'd be pretty excited to be at a Rusdie reading, too. :)

'The End of War'
'Once the music began, no one cared about last names, nations, or religion. All they cared about was the music. The simple celebration of music became a celebration of the end of the war.' A week ahead of U2's Zagreb shows, Bill Carter remembers what it was like when U2 played Sarajevo in 1997... and how a city under siege had become a defining image of the ZOO TV Tour.

In their various contrasting ways, the twenty miniatures that make up Prokofiev's Visions fugitives display all those qualities, and they have always been among the most popular of his piano pieces. The title of the collection is a poetic rendering of the Russian Mimolyotnosti (literally 'things flying past', or more pretentiously 'transiences') from the poem 'I do not know wisdom' by the symbolist Konstantin Balmont. Taking his cue from the lines 'In every fugitive vision / I see whole worlds: / They change endlessly, / Flashing in playful rainbow colours', Prokofiev supplies snapshots of his most characteristic moods—sometimes grotesque, sometimes incantatory and mystical, sometimes simply poetic, sometimes aggressively assertive, sometimes so delicately poised as to allow the performer and the listener to make up their own minds.
The Visions were assembled between 1915 and 1917. In his 1941 autobiography Prokofiev claimed that No 19 reflected the excitement of the crowds at the time of the February 1917 Revolution (which deposed the tsar—the more famous 'October' Revolution, establishing Bolshevik rule, followed later the same year). But that claim may be a case of self-reinvention aimed at a Soviet readership. Without that information, the same could as easily be said of Nos 4, 14 and 15. In 1935 Prokofiev made recordings of ten pieces from the set, and his playing is notable for its wistfulness, subtle shadings and—in places—rhythmic freedom. Even the clowning of the Ridicolosamente No 10 is rather shy in Prokofiev's hands, and the delicacy he brings to the following piece brings out its affinities with Debussy's Minstrels.

Miami, Florida, is a playground for vacationers in search of white-sand beaches, Latin flavor, bold art deco, and a palm-tree filled city skyline. Located in Southern Florida, Miami invites visitors to experience the Cuban flair in Little Havana, art galleries in the Design District, and the inviting beaches along the Atlantic shore.
The hotels in Miami are as diverse as the city's culture. With Expedia, vacationers can reserve cheap Miami hotel deals in a variety of spots from the party scene in South Beach to the laid-back community of Coconut Grove.
For the vacationer who wants a spot in the center of all the glitz and glamour of Miami's world-famous nightlife, the Miami hotels in South Beach may offer the ideal oceanfront lodging. Guests drawn to the entertainment in SoBE often rate the accommodations here among the best Miami hotels.
Meanwhile, the Miami hotel deals in areas such as Coconut Grove feature luxury boutique accommodations, which may provide slightly more peaceful getaways. Coconut Grove, home to The Barnacle Historic State Park and the Coconut Grove Playhouse, presents a calm escape from the hype of the beach scene.
Getting Here
Travelers booking flights to Miami on Expedia have the option of landing at the Miami International Airport or the Fort Lauderdale International Airport, which is located just north of Miami. Both airports offer a free shuttle to the Tri-Rail Station, where visitors can catch trains or bus transfers to their boutique hotels downtown or their hotels near the airport. These airports also provide taxi service for direct transportation to downtown and beach destinations.
Vacationers planning to drive to the palm tree coastal city often take I-95 if they're traveling from the north, I-75 from the midwest, and US Highway 1 from the south. However, travelers can also ride charter buses into Miami as there are both Greyhound and RedCoach bus terminals near Miami International airport.
Getting Around
Whether you use your own car or a car rental service, driving is one of the easiest ways to get around Miami. However, cars aren't absolutely necessary for those vacationers planning to stay in Miami Beach as many of the restaurants, shops, and hotels are within walking distance of one another in this hot spot.
For those who choose the carless route, the Metromover offers free transportation around downtown, while the Metrorail is an affordable rail system providing convenient access to 23 different stations in the area, including the Miami International Airport, Coconut Grove, and South Miami. Miami also provides the Metrobus, which services the major attractions, such as the beaches, malls, and entertainment in the area.
Things to Do
South Beach belongs on every Miami vacationer's must-do list. Many know it for its ravishing nightlife scene with dazzling Miami hotels, nightclubs, and restaurants, but by day it offers inviting sandy beaches and enticing shops and boutiques on Espanola Way, Lincoln Mall Road, and Washington Avenue. While visiting SoBe, don't miss out on the opportunity to take an Art Déco tour of the neighborhoods to admire the impeccable architecture, decor, and designs of the hotels, restaurants, and buildings, and learn about the history and role of art in Miami over the years.
While Miami's beaches and art deco tours offer some captivating views, under the water is where you can find the most fascinating views of all. The Florida Straight, which is the world's third largest barrier reef, and the only barrier reef in the states, runs from the water just off the shores of Miami out to the Dry Tortugas. This must-visit barrier reef presents some of the best snorkeling sceneries in the country, featuring colorful coral, tropical fish, and marine life. Snorkel around in the company of manatees, bottlenose dolphins, nurse sharks, and stingrays in this underwater paradise. Kick your fins from shore at snorkeling spots such as Pompano Beach Dropoff or book a boat excursion for snorkeling experiences further off shore.
For additional wildlife observation, but this time above the water's surface, hop on an airboat and tour the Florida Everglades during your Miami vacation. These airboat tours present you with the thrilling opportunity to glide over some of the only remaining wetlands in the U.S. Learn about the early beginnings of the Everglades and witness the wetland's flora and fauna, with extremely up-close encounters with gigantic gators. While you may not want to dip your toes into these waters, the airboat rides offer safe and educational tours of this unique wildlife preserve. After an adventure like this, head back to your luxury hotel and relax in your gator and critter-free room.
Visiting the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is another popular thing to do in Miami for those travelers who have some additional time to experience the city. The property was once businessman James Deering's estate, but now it is a public landmark where visitors can tour the masterfully designed villa. Miami vacationers can marvel at the Italian Renaissance influenced designs and Mediterranean Revival architecture, mixed with Baroque elements and more modern accents of the early 20th century. Wander the immaculate gardens and artistic landscape, complete with orchards, sculptures, fountains, and subtropical plants. This aesthetically pleasing museum provides vacationers with an alternative to spending the day at the beach or shopping the boutiques.
Arts & Entertainment
From tip toeing elegant ballerinas to drum bellowing tribal beats, the Adrienne Arsht Center for Performing Arts in Miami welcomes some of the finest talent from around the globe to perform on its stages. As the second-largest performing arts center in the U.S. and home to the Florida Grand Opera, the Adrienne Arsht Center features touring dance companies, ballets, concerts, and theater productions. While the Adrienne Arsht Center may be grandiose, Miami offers a vast selection of other performing arts centers, including the Coconut Grove Playhouse, New World Center, Ring Theatre, and even an outdoor venue, the Bayfront Park Amphitheater.
Miami also features a number of art galleries for an introduction to the city's art scene. The Miami Art Museum in downtown presents contemporary work with collections by Purvis Young, Frank Stella, and Kiki Smith. Meanwhile, the Frost Art Museum on the Florida International University campus exhibits 20th American and Latin American art. Additionally, every winter, the Art Basel sets up in Miami with paintings, installations, sculptures, and photographs from around the globe. Each year, art aficionados, artists, and collectors gather at this spectacular art display to experience some of the finest art in the world today.
Native Americans lived on the Miami land prior to the arrival of the first permanent settlers in the early 17th century. The disputes over land between the natives and new settlers led to the Second and Third Seminole Wars. Following the wars, in 1891, Julia Tuttle, a widow, migrated to the Miami area and eventually convinced Henry Flagler to construct a railroad line to the southern area after the location was the only spot to remain unscathed by a freeze, which froze the citrus crops elsewhere in Florida. After the railroad's construction, Miami officially became a city in 1896. Tuttle is now regarded as the "Mother of Miami," while Miami remains the only major U.S. city founded by a woman, forever instilling the concept of girl power into this seaside resort.
Miami experienced a prosperous boom into the 20th century; however, the Great Depression, both World Wars, and the devastating Great Miami Hurricane hit the city hard. Despite these setbacks, Miami has continued to move forward, grow, and flourish through the ages becoming a top beach destination in the U.S. Sun bathing by the shore soon became a popular pastime, and sun worshippers everywhere have pharmacist Benjamin Green to thank for his invention of sun block in Miami Beach in 1944. Into the 2000s, Miami embarked on a "Miami Manhattanization" effort, building five star hotels and high-rise structures, which led to the creation of one of the largest skylines in the country.
The Dolphins, Miami's professional football team, is one of the oldest NFL teams in the south. The Miami football team, often referred to as "The Fins," have won two Super Bowl Championship titles since they joined the NFL in 1970. The team's quarterback, Dan Marino, who played for the Dolphins from 1983 to 1999, was head of the pod as he is said to be one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. Marino further added to the team's stardom in the 1994 film, "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," when he starred with funny man Jim Carrey in the movie, which immortalized the team's dolphin mascot.
The Miami Heat is another prominent Miami sports team, which is on fire as it three recently won three league championship titles, one in 2006, and two consecutive titles in 2012 and 2013. The NBA team heats up the court in the Southeast Division in the Eastern Conference and has burned the competition with ten division titles and four conference titles. Reserve a luxury 5-star Miami hotel in downtown, cheer on the Heat and high-five Burnie, the fireball mascot, to round out a sport fan's dream vacation.
Fondly referred to as America's Riviera, Miami serves up a nightlife scene fit for aristocrats and royalty. Though Miami's after-hours crowd may show more skin and more interest in clubbing than the nobles who once frequented the city's French counterpart, Miami in no way lacks the similar glamorous appeal. Miami features night clubs with Latin flavor, lounges where the Rat Pack used to hang, and haute dance floors for the nights which turn into mornings.
South Beach is undoubtedly Miami's hottest club scene with a soundtrack of international DJs of and electronica music. This coastal spot boasts European-inspired clubs, pool side bars, and glitzy cocktail lounges. Do realize some of these hot spots strive for celebrity status, so expect cover charges, guest lists, and red velvet roped lines. For the best chances of skipping lines and catching the bouncer's eye, leave your flip flops, cargo pants, and beach cover ups back at your boutique hotel, and pull out your dress shirts and stilettos instead.
It's said Miami's new world cuisine was invented by some of the most legendary chefs in the city. This contemporary fare is a unique blend of Latin spices, Caribbean flavor, African infusion, and American influences, which is representative of Miami's diverse culture and now symbolic of the Florida city's gastronomy scene. In addition to this heterogeneous cuisine, Miami is also well regarded for its authentic Cuban cooking. Little Havana, after all, is a little slice of Cuba, famous for serving up traditional chicken and lamb stews, paella, and strong Cuban coffee.
While hotels aren't generally regarded for the fine dining options, this city is an exception, as some of the Miami resorts offer the best restaurants with some of the epicurean world's most celebrated chefs on the scene. Meanwhile, there are nearly 3,000 other dining options in Miami, from waterfront dining to food truck noshing. Choose from the open-air cafes popular in the Coconut Grove neighborhoods, the artsy diners in the Design District, or the upscale restaurants in Downtown.
Shopping Guide
While the beaches in Miami are undeniably alluring, the shopping in the area is just as tempting. When it comes to Miami, visitors often split their time between relaxing in the sand, pampering themselves at the hotels in Miami, and grazing the shops and boutiques. This vacation destination is unique in that it doesn't focus on those gimmicky beach souvenirs, but rather it draws its attention to pleasing those in search of fine art galleries, one-of-a-kind boutiques, and high-end luxury retailers.
Collins Avenue Shopping District provides a convenient shopping venue for vacationers straight off the beach. Only one block from the ocean, this area is a fashionista's dream come true. Meanwhile nearby Aventura Mall, Dadeland Mall, Miami International Mall, and Dolphin Mall all together boast hundreds of stores, from brand-name retailers and department stores to specialty shops and factory outlets. For haute couture and luxury labels, visitors peruse Bal Harbour Shops, while Lincoln Road and Espanola Way are home to the more unique and offbeat art galleries, vintage shops, and chic boutiques.
Travel Basics
Some vacationers arrive in Miami with the expectation of a lawless beach party, however, there are in fact strict laws governing the beach and surrounding city for the safety of the locals and visitors. For example, it is prohibited for beachgoers to consume alcohol, build fires, grill food, and set off fireworks at all times. However, the city does have some leniency in the form of sunbathing. While topless sunbathing is illegal in most beach areas of the United States, women are allowed to freely sunbath in this manner between 1st Street and 16th Street in Miami. The Florida city also features one legal clothing optional beach at the northern end of Haulover Beach for sun worshippers looking to avoid tan lines.
While Miami is often associated with glitz, glamour, and celebrity status as it welcomes and entices party goers and night owls, vacationers are often surprised when they learn the city offers plenty of kid friendly neighborhoods and activities for the entire family to enjoy. The hotels in Miami aren't just for the club crawlers and romantic couples, in fact, some of them offer kid activities and programs during the day and even babysitting services in the evenings so Mom and Dad can explore the nightlife like old times. And the restaurants are not only for those with trained pallets or sophisticated taste, there are plenty of pizzerias and burger joints serving up child approved grub and have kids' menus available, too.
Personalities & Culture
Miami's culture is a diversified mixing pot with a variety of different influences. It is home to the largest population of Latin Americans outside of Latin America itself. Because of this, it's not uncommon to hear Spanish spoken freely around the city. What's more, Haitian Creole is another prominent language heard in in Miami as there is a vast collection of Haitian immigrants in the area as well. Though it's not uncommon to hear these dialects, many of these speakers also know English as well.
While Cuban cuisine and the sound of native Spanish speakers certainly represent aspects of Miami culture, visitors will also soon realize the beach by day and clubs by night way of life is just as part of the culture as well. Set sail on a cruise to Miami to witness vacationers taking topless sunbathing and beachside lounging seriously, and when the sun set, it's high time to frequent the hottest clubs in town. Though not all visitors engage in this lifestyle in Miami, it is certainly one prevalent aspect of the culture.
Weather & Climate
Miami is one of those destinations where it seems like any time of the year is worth a visit. In the height of winter, temperatures usually hang around the 60s and 70 degrees Fahrenheit range, making it the ideal spot to escape cooler weather elsewhere. As for the summer, temperatures often rise to the high 80s and low 90sF, which makes the refreshing Atlantic Ocean call your name. March, April, and May are comfortable times to visit, but this time of year does tend to attract Spring Breakers, so the beachfront may get crowded.
Though Miami doesn't experience bone-chilling temperatures, do realize June through November is hurricane and tropical storm season. Because of the hurricane risk, you can find cheap Miami hotel deals during this time, while other vacationers often decide to purchase travel insurance in case a hurricane plows through. If you manage to dodge a hurricane during this season, do expect summer showers, which often roll in during the afternoons, but they usually don't last into the evening. Though when in doubt, pack an umbrella!
Whether you visit Miami in the heart of the summer or the dead of winter, the nightlife is sure to keep things hot and steamy while the pool decks and ocean offer refreshing relief from the warmer temperatures, regardless of when you visit.

This morning I took the train into the city to look at a Probate file I requested for a Frank Brouk. Sadly, when I opened the file, it was not for my Frank Brouk, but a different family. I sat and took notes from the file because I am tracing the Brouk families in Chicago in the early 1900′s to see if there are any connections I am unaware of at this point. What is interesting to note is his daughter, Josephine, was named Executrix but the month after Frank died in 1946, another daughter, Anna, filed to be made Executrix, as Josephine had disappeared approximately five years earlier. In July of 1946, Josephine had apparently been located, now married, because she appears as a witness in testimony. I kind of wish this had been part of my family somewhere, trying to figure out where Josephine disappeared and why would be fun!
After viewing my probate file I was supposed to meet a friend for coffee, but he is under the weather today so I will have to catch him next time I am in the city. I did pack a printed draft of my book about Robert Brouk, and a genealogy class for which I am finishing up the speaking notes, so I have plenty to keep me busy as I sip my coffee until it is time to head back to the train. When I get home I have to review my ProGen assignment from October for our chat this evening and finish those speaking notes, among other things on my long to-do list. So I will stay busy and check things off my list so next weekend I can skip town and go visit my best friend who lives in Missouri. That will be great fun!
So always plan for the unexpected when you go on a research trip, whether it be to bring along extra work to do in case your planned research time ends early or other tasks to complete while you wait for this or that.

It's not that you get more adds, you're just not killing them the second they spawn, so they add up.
We made several attempts at XT last night and we had some where we did no dps to heart and some where we popped Heroism when the heart came up. It definitely does a lot of damage but you get WAY more adds. We got to where we were overrun by scrap bots in 10 man and eventually some scrapbots would get through.
I would also like to correct something someone else said about if you did 6 million damage then it transfers to 12 million on the boss. This is NOT what we saw last night at all. What we saw is the heart has 1.5 million HP, which is exactly 25% of XT's 6 million HP total health. We did do double damage to the heart when it was exposed, but if you do 1 million damage on heart then it transfers to 1 million less health on XT when he's targettable again.
Definitely get a period of double dps by hitting the heart, but a portion of that is offset by the time you have to take off from XT to control the adds. It's not "free double dps time".
remember all my fellow DKs even if your dps you want to Icebound fortitude during tantrum phase it will reduce the amount of damage you take from tantrum which will help healers expecially if your DK OTing this fight it helps keep you alive thru tantrum with remaining adds on you, also found it helpful to tank the adds ontop of the boss even tho tank dps is weak the adds arent getting hit so agro wont be a factor and your aoes will help down the boss, but at the same time you have to watch all melee for bombs a little more closely if you descide to get in that close
If your group is having trouble with the enrage timer what mine found worked (for 10 man, I have no idea if this works on 25 man or not as we haven't tried it yet there) is to, instead of having a MT and OT, simply only have the MT. How we pulled this off was by having an extra hunter that, during the add phase simply turned around and misdirected all of the big adds onto our MT where they were still hit by any occasional AoE. This allowed us to not only have extra dps while XT is active but also once the adds have been misdirected the hunter simply switched to dpsing the heart.
This strategy worked great on the first shot for us, let me know if you have any questions!
Great video. Is there any plan to release one for Ignis within the next 5 or so days?
thanks for the vids - i can only comment on the issues we faced in 10 man mode. our setup was:
- healers - shammy, druid, priest
- dps - mage, hunter, feral cat, enh. shammy, ret pally dps
- tanks - druid tank (me) and DK OT
healing is easy throughout, except for the Tantrum (Barkskin ftw!) - but after seeing it a few times the healers knew when to go nuts - druid / shaman were boith a bit frustrated as Chain Heal / Wild Growth didnt hit many targets, as the raid is pretty spread out... they seemed to think priests / pallies are more ideal for this fight... take it for what its worth
the main issue we had was when we focused all our dps on the Heart and shortened the time til his next "Heart" phase, our only real AOE classes (hunter & mages) who we assigned to left / right to handle adds simple got overwhelmed, sracpbots got thru, healed the boss, QQ
i will admit that (without naming names!) our group was a bit weak, and we still had the boss down below 500K life numerous times... enrage timer got us everytime.
the OT was a Unholy DK so we had him tank adds right on top of boss and spread his AOE dmg as far as he could.
the key in this fight (in 10 man) is having good range dps to handle the adds AND be able to get damage on the heart.
For our first kill we assigned one DPS for every corner. But instead of running there immediately when the "heart phase" began they watched their corners, DPSed the heart until actually adds spawned. Maybe this was pure luck, we killed him the second I survived his first hit in berserk with shield wall and pain suppression active.
There is an easyer (or fastest) way of killing him. You have to DPS the heart without destroying (it regenerate each time the second phase start) doing so will bring his life way more lower than it was when the second phase started. We have done it and when it turn again in 1 phase again 10 second later he was at 50% and teh second phase started again. Now that bring up the problem of the healing add those can be slowed by some shaman totem, frost nova. and are killed with AOE when we think they begin to be too close of the boss. For the Bomb add we just moved when they were comming and let them go to the boss, our tank just moved the opposite way that they were comming and our melee just move out of there explosing range. And for the other part its in the same as the video the bigger add are being tanked and not killed (our OT said that they dont hurt that much) play smart with the bomb, tank him in the stair and that big robot is gone for the scrapyard.
It was mentioned above that 1 tank was used in 10 man.
We used 1 tank for 25 man helped us to be the enrage timer.
Just came here to say that we downed this boss tonight with 1 tank and 3 healers. We were having a very hard time beating teh enrage timer with two tanks. So with 1 tank, pummelers get misdirected to the tank and/or kited within taunt range if misdirect is on CD. We burn the heart as fast as possible until the small adds start spawning. 4 DPS peeled off to burn/control each corner and make sure the small adds didn't make it through.
Took quite a few attempts but eventually we figured out the trickiest part is the add phase after 25%. Seemed to be a ton of small adds spawn after the third heartburn so we had all DPS back off to burn the small adds before swapping back to the boss. We killed him after 5 minutes and 59 seconds and got both achievements.
i was just wondering what the 10-man group makeup was?
i noticed 2 priests, think one was Disc, wondering if the other one was Holy or healer as well cause I noticed you guys didn't take near the dmg my raid did during tantrum tonight. Our group was:
2- resto shaman
1- holy priest
2- hunters
1- rogue
1- fury warrior
1- arcane mage
1- afflic lock
1- unholy dk tank
the majority of the raid is geared to the teeth outta Naxx25
with PoH being a 2.7 sec cast time for our priest, they had to time it right to go off right at the beginning of tantrum, then CoH, then PoH again...as one of the resto shamans, since we had the raid spread out i chain healed and lesser healing waved as many as a could but we'd usually lose 1 person each time
i suggested that 10 sec before tantrum we group up, to give the shamans a better use of chain heal...but keeping in mind the person getting a bomb move out, i think that would help during tantrum
also, right after tantrum is seemed our tank took a lot more dmg from XT, is there a reason?
lowest we got him was 25%, then hit the enrage timer...i could go Elemental for more dps, but its seems w/ tantrum healing being a problem thats not a viable route
i'm open for suggestions
First night was 3 healers, an MT and OT and 5 DPS. We got rocked over and over by tantrum and DPS was far too slow. Even on our best attempts it was evident we were still gonna get eaten by the enrage timer.
Second night, we had (to start) an MT and OT, two healers and 6 DPS. But after that first attempt, I actually switched to arms (was MT) and had our DK MT the fight and handle the Pummelers. We had a Resto shammy who popped bloodlust at the start and we burned XT to 75% before the first tantrum, nuked the heart quickly and instructed the dps to only aoe down the scrapbots when they were close.
Alot of people were talking about having a hunter misdirect the pummelers to the tank - but during the heart phase, the boss isnt moving. Our dk just ran around and picked em up and got back to the boss before he reactivated. If you have DBM, its easy to watch. That kept all dps focused on the heart and scrapbots.
The first night I think our dps spent too much time running out to dps those adds. Key was keeping them on the heart until the adds had walked directly into range. I have to give credit to the two healers, who rocked. But this strat is easily do able - I believe we only really saw one tantrum, if not two with this zerg strat and it was pretty trivial.
yea i think we're going to do that strat, cept w/ me going elemental and dpsing, and then helping heal light bomb people and healing during tantrum, also think we're going to utilize the grouping strategy to optimize the other resto shamans effective chain healing
just gunna require people to be on their toes if they get the gravity or light bombs on them to get out asap
It's random if and where adds spawn. We tank him at the stairs too and got adds from every corner.
we did this on 10s with 2 tanks. I offtanked. We had 5 dps 3 heals and 2 tanks. This is probably not the easiest way to do it from what others are saying.
I (pally) offtanked all the pummelers, and we actually never killed them. Using seal of light and judgement of light, I actually never needed heals until I had 4+ on me (outside tantrum).
We had a druid MT, who sat at the bottom of the stairs. I OT'd the pummelers, but after picking them up I just targeted the boss and DPS'd with everyone else. I personally did 2450 dps, and the 5 DPS classes were 2700-4.5k. We got him down before enrage with time to spare (30 seconds or so). You can't have DPS die early, so if you can 2 heal it, more power to you, but I think 3 healers is the way to go. It may be easier with 1 tank and 6 dps, however.
The heart is the key, particularly the first time it spawned (there seem to be less adds in this phase).. We couldn't get him to 75% before the first tantrum, so I used my divine sacrifice and shield to absorb a bunch of the damage (there were no adds at this point). But after the heart came up we DPS'd it down to 15% or so and then the second heart phase came almost immediately after the first.
In retrospect it would be better to make sure to clean up all the scrapbots before heart phase 2. But, doing a lot of damage to the heart helps a ton.
The tantrums are rough on the healers, but you should be able to get by with only 2-3 tantrums before the kill (ours were before 75%, then between 50-25% and at about 6%)

1. 30 seconds
2. 70833.3 (25.5 million / 360 seconds)
3. 5 if they're really really good or your dps isn't. 6 or 7 if your dps is better than your healers
4. about 25k melee hits on a naxx25 geared prot warrior
5. not very hard. 1 - 3 stacks of lifebloom plus raid healing should be plenty for the off-tank

All enginners on this boss you can use your belt enchant, Personnal Electromagnetic Pulse Generator, on the bots. And you should make your self some Frost grenades they help as well. These kept me alive sense i was the OT. I could kite the pummelers and still get the bombs an or small bots rooted for a bit so the dps could get to them. An if your the dps killing the bots all the better!

Comments about Patagonia Piton Hybrid Hoody (Men's):
I bought this hoody for a trip I had planned for Glacier National Park this spring. I read about the hybrid construction and thought it was a pretty solid concept so I gave it a try. Let me tell you, the combination of the hardface fleece and the powerstretch does not let you down during extreme activity with some light snowfall. I wore it almost every single day hiking around the park and it still looks almost brand new. The hood fits over a helmet and fits snugly over a light baselayer. I got a medium and I'm 5'10" 175 lbs for size reference.

The Symphony is confident, richly harmonized in its first section, and showing the influence of Pelham Humfrey and Purcell's teacher John Blow in the dotted rhythms of the imitative second section. Purcell's mastery of technical devices is also apparent for, rather than simply repeating the second section of the overture as an instrumental section, he does this whilst superimposing the opening chorus over it, adding a new bass line and giving the original bass as an obbligato to the cello. After such a compositional tour de force comes a touching duet for alto and bass 'Ah! Mighty Sir', full of startling harmonic language, and capped by a charmingly scored string ritornello. The reference to 'Augusta' is again an alternative for 'London'. The chorus 'But your blest presence now' dances along, and leads into a glorious string ritornello—the first of dozens with which Purcell graced his Royal Odes over the next fifteen years. In 'Your influous approach' Purcell echoes the tenor soloist with the full ensemble and is inspired, as always, by the mention of the word 'harmony': he leaves the real pictorialization for 'Apollo with his sacred lyre' to the continuo players' imagination as a coda to the movement. 'When the Summer, in his glory' is delightfully scored for two sopranos, and the following chorus 'All loyalty and honour be' an example of how a simple, homophonic setting can be as effective as the most intricate of choruses. The tenor solo 'Music the food of love' is a jewel, with its simple melody repeated and harmonized by the full chorus before the continuo modulates the music up a fourth and the strings are given a ritornello of great charm and beauty. The final chorus of Purcell's first Ode is deliberately kept simple.

UPDATED: Thursday, October 4, 2012 --- 5:11p.m.
Release from UW-Madison Police Department:
Madison, Wisconsin – On October 4th, 2012, President Barack Obama visited the UW Madison campus. People wanting to enter the event began lining Observatory Drive around 7AM. The crowd continued to grow and in an effort to accommodate the large crowd, the venue opened early at 11:30AM.
Shortly before 2PM, capacity for the event was reached and patrons were directed to alternate locations to listen to the President's speech.
Chief Sue Riseling of the University of Wisconsin Police Department estimates that President Obama spoke to an enthusiastic crowd of 30,000 people. Another 6,000 people we not admitted into the event due to capacity issues. The crowd estimate is based on the number of individuals who passed through the magnetometers.
No arrests were made and no other significant law enforcement issues were reported in conjunction with the event.
UPDATED: Thursday, October 4, 2012 --- 4:44p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- President Barack Obama is changing his strategy for his next face-off against Republican Mitt Romney, a repair job needed after his first debate performance was panned as lacking punch.
His aides conceded Thursday that the incumbent must get sharper in countering his opponent and crisper in explaining his ideas to the American people.
The heart of Obama's new message with less than five weeks to go: Romney is a liar.
Expect that theme -- expressed in softer terms from the president than from his aides -- to drive Obama's advertising and messaging for days.
Obama's debate showing on Wednesday was rusty, rambling and cautious, but his aides insist he emerged with a real opening to target Romney's candor.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- President Barack Obama plans to use a rally at the University of Wisconsin in Madison to fire-up his Democratic base and encourage his supporters to vote early.
Thursday's rally is sure to be a large and friendly crowd for Obama, who attracted about 26,000 people the last time he came to the UW campus in 2010.
Obama won Wisconsin in 2008 by 14 points. It was an easy win during an election when 1-in-5 ballots were cast before Election Day.
In-person absentee voting doesn't begin in Wisconsin until Oct. 22. But absentee ballots started being sent to people who requested them at the end of September.
Obama's rally is coming a day after the president and Republican challenger Mitt Romney met in Denver for their first presidential debate.

REPORTER: Chris Woodard
Click HERE to sign-up for a ticket.
With the announcement that President Barack Obama will be holding a rally at UW-Madison on Bascom Hill, preparations began.
It's a visit that comes with a price.
Any time you plan to shut down an area as busy as that part of campus for several hours it's going to be inconvenient and it's going to cost a lot of money.
But Madison Mayor Paul Soglin says the negatives are well worth it.
Today members of law enforcement were walking the Bascom Hill area.
Madison Police are working with the Secret Service on security.
It is just one area this will cost the city.
Soglin says, "No question about it, dollars we will not recover."
But are they dollars well spent?
Soglin says, "Would we advance a few dollars to get the national publicity? Yes we would."
In September, 2010 the president came to campus and spoke in a very similar spot.
That rally was at the library mall and with this one only half a block away it could give a good glimpse at what it will cost the city.
Madison Police spent 185-thousand dollars on overtime and other security costs in 2010.
The fire department spent 6-thousand dollars.
The Dane County Sheriff's Office also spent several thousand dollars.
Soglin says, "I once tried to send a bill to one of the campaigns. I'm not going to waste my time with that anymore, just roll with it."
It's a cost Soglin says the city is willing to take on.
He says, "It does do something in regards to vibrancy, youth, excitement."
There are still some details to be ironed out as far as the logistics of the event.
The university is still working on a contract with the Obama Campaign.
In 2010 the Democratic National Committee paid the university 10-thousand dollars to rent space for the event.
UW does expect some buildings on campus to be closed and police say to plan for significant traffic delays in the isthmus area all day.
Gates for the event Thursday open at noon.
Tickets are free and available online.

As we sit down to eat a giant turkey sandwich while the Lions are playing the Texans, BC will reflect on all that we're thankful for in 2012. There will be grand memories of breathing the same air as Kate Upton at the Super Bowl while on media row. There will be the memories of breathing the same air and being within an arm's length of Brooklyn Decker at the GQ Super Bowl party. There will be great memories of being at the same party and watching Erin Andrews tell us that Decker was her life goddess. What other women are we thankful for in 2012? Michelle Jenneke stole our hearts. And who can forget the beach volleyball run at the Olympics by Marketa Slukova? Enjoy your turkey and reflect. It's a Busted Coverage tradition.
