Movement: Allegro in F
At about eight in the evening the King repaired to his barge. Next to the King's barge was that of the musicians, about 50 in number—trumpets, cors de chasse [horns], oboes, bassoons, German flutes [traverse flutes], French flutes [recorders], violins and basses, but no singers. The music had been composed specially by the famous Handel, a native of Halle and his Majesty's principal Court composer. His Majesty's approval of it was so great that he caused it to be played three times in all, twice before and once after supper, even though each performance lasted an hour. The evening was as fine as could be desired for this occasion and the number of barges and boats full of people wanting to listen was beyond counting. In order to make this entertainment the more exquisite, Madam de Kilmanseck had arranged a choice supper at the late Lord Ranelagh's villa on the river at Chelsea, where the King went at one in the morning. He left at three o'clock and returned to St James's at about half past four. The concert cost Baron Kilmanseck £150 for the musicians alone.
The Daily Courant reported similar details of this extravagant event two days later. One barge 'was employ'd for the Musick, wherein were 50 instruments of sorts who play'd the finest Symphonies, compos'd express for this Occasion, by Mr Hendel; which his Majesty liked so well, that he caus'd it to be plaid over three times in going and returning'.
There can be little doubt from these two sources that the assembled company heard the collection of movements which was in due course to become known as Handel's Water Music.
1717 was a bad year for the English monarchy. A rift between George I and his son (the future George II) was escalating: Bonet noted in his diary that the son and his wife, the future Queen Caroline, were conspicuously absent from the water party. The elder George appears to have attempted to cover the growing rift by increasing his public profile with a series of summer events, many held at Hampton Court. Thus his vast water party of July 1717, the largest recorded and held just two days after Parliament had risen for the summer recess, seems to fit this plan. (The dispute eventually rumbled on until November, when a major quarrel resulted in the ejection of the Prince of Wales from the King's palace.)
Though both Bonet and The Daily Courant suggest that Handel wrote music especially for the water party, it is possible that some movements were recycled from earlier works. Scholars have suggested that the Water Music may even have started life as two orchestral suites or concertos, to which Handel added movements with horns and trumpets. No autograph manuscript survives, but the work re-emerged in a variety of forms and performances in London over the next thirty years. But published editions were elusive: Walsh's parts for the 'Celebrated Water Musick' of 1734 contained only around half the movements, although he published a transcription for harpsichord in 1743. It was only in 1788 that Arnold presented all the movements in full score. So it is to two manuscript harpsichord transcriptions from the early 1720s, one by Handel's faithful copyist J C Smith the Elder, that we have turned to try to gain the most likely original performing order.
Handel's scoring is especially colourful. The inclusion of two baroque horns presents the first known instance of Handel writing in London for the instruments. He holds them in reserve during the Ouverture (whose 'indoor' scoring, especially in its concertino grouping of two solo violins and the glorious oboe solo of the Adagio e staccato, suggests that these sections may well have been recycled by Handel), but thereafter they establish themselves as the dominant instrumental colour of the F major Suite. Handel is nonetheless careful to rest both the ear of the listener and the lips of the players from too much of the horn sound; some of this 'intervening' music is especially delicious. The contrast of wind trio against tutti strings in the Andante, capped by the colour of high bassoons used as a tenor instrument, produces glorious sonorities, and the sparing use of the horns to form a descant to the now famous Air presents another remarkable colour. Two brief dance movements, a Bourrée and a Hornpipe, with their instruction 'three times', allow tutti strings to contrast with an 'outdoor' wind band before Handel produces another lyrical 'link' movement. Although the function of this movement is to modulate from F major to the trumpet's D major, Handel produces some of the most ravishing of all his instrumental writing—the now-gentle winds contrast with strings, and both are complemented with the colour, once again, of high bassoons.
The D major Trumpet Suite is, not just by its scoring but also by its extrovert nature, much more suited to outdoor performance, contrasting lively movements such as the Hornpipe and the Bourrée with more stately dances such as the Menuet and the Lentement. That could hardly be said for the G major Flute Suite, whose movements come interspersed with those of the Trumpet Suite. The Flute Suite's predominantly delicate textures suggest that the musicians' barge must have been moored very close to that of the King. Here there are wonderfully inventive pieces of writing and varied orchestrations: the delicate scoring of the flutes' Menuet, the insistently lively rhythms of the Rigaudon (with its prominent upbeat, borrowed from its French origins), the scoring of two highly contrasted movements for flauto piccolo (soprano recorder)—one almost Viennese in its delicious poise, the other, the first Country Dance, fast and lively, and a vehicle for Handel's recorder player to show his virtuosity—and, a trick which still never fails to bring a broad smile to the faces of both players and audiences, the gutsy scoring of the second Country Dance, with bassoons, second violins and violas giving their rustic best in a splendid imitation of English folk music.
A large orchestra was present on the musicians' barge at Chelsea in 1717. There would clearly have been a good-size string section, but Handel's music seems also to demand a substantial wind presence, especially for the dance movements where the winds engage in dialogue with the strings. The sound of a baroque wind band, with nine or ten reed players, produces a magnificent sonority, both on its own and in binding the tuttis. Similarly, a colourful continuo presence on the river seems equally right. The rhythmic impetus of a pair of baroque guitars—an instrument far more favoured in baroque times than is sometimes assumed—combined with the colours of two harpsichords lends the music a vital danceband-like rhythm section, much in keeping with the King's colourful intentions for his evening's entertainment!

A sure diagnosis is necessary for effective treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are one of the most useful tools physicians have to confidently diagnose a wide range of health conditions. With the Philips Panorama High Field Open MR system at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton, you have an Open MRI option, providing an almost 360-degree opening that relieves the sense of confinement often found with traditional MRI systems.
With Tanner's Open MRI system, your scan experience should prove perfectly comfortable, and even relaxing.
For more information on Open MRI services at Tanner, speak with your physician. If you have a physician's order for an MRI and would like to schedule one at Tanner, call 770.836.9721.
Traditional MRI services are also available at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton, Tanner Medical Center/Villa Rica and Higgins General Hospital in Bremen.
MRI scans are not right for everyone. Inform your referring physician or the technologist conducting the MRI scan if:
Why are MRI scans important?
MRI scans allow physicians to see images of a patient's internal organs and structures in great detail and from many angles. This provides physicians with information more quickly, and often more economically, than past tests and invasive exploratory surgeries.
How long will the scan take?
The duration of the MRI scan will usually be between 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the part of the body being studied. You should allow extra time in case the exam lasts longer than expected.
Does the machine make a lot of noise?
The magnet makes a slight rapping sound as images are taken. In between scans, the machine is quiet. The MRI technologist will provide you with hearing protection prior to the scan, but the ear protection will not prevent you from hearing the technologist if he or she needs to speak with you during the exam.
Will I be alone during the scan?
You will be in contact with an MRI technologist at all times while undergoing the scan. Even when the technologist is not in the MRI room, you will be able to communicate with him or her through an intercom. In some instances, a family member is welcome to stay in the room with you during your scan.
The Philips Panorama High Field Open MR system at Tanner features a powerful 1.5T signal, 1.0T contrast, providing minimal susceptibility and distortion and maximum clarity and detail. Tanner's unique high-field Open MRI system will provide the clearest, sharpest images, so your physician can make the most accurate diagnosis.

AMSTERDAM (AP) -- Royal Ahold NV, the Dutch operator of U.S. supermarket chains Stop & Shop and Giant, has reported a 41 percent fall in fourth quarter profits as a result of pension and restructuring charges.
Net profit was EUR158 million ($208 million), down from EUR270 million in the same period the previous year. The fall was due to one-time charges of EUR88 million to settle changes in the company's U.S. pension plan, and another EUR88 million hit to write down the value of the company's software systems.
The charges masked a 7.5 percent increase in revenue to EUR7.84 billion.
CEO Dick Boer says the company is "cautious" in its outlook for 2013, but would increase its dividend by 10 percent to EUR0.44 per share, and buy back EUR500 million worth of shares.

"I got to be a part of the brainstorming process of what the station wants the show to look like. I've always wanted to mesh my news and media skills with my business skills. I get to fill an entire hour of news. I am so excited."
She felt "butterflies" attacking the inside of her stomach. The two hours she spent driving dragged on as she went back and forth contemplating her pros and cons list. "Could this really be happening?" she thought. As she pulled into her driveway, her nerves settled. She had reached a final decision. A day later, Katrina Helmer, a 2011 broadcasting graduate, packed up her belongings and threw them in the trunk of her car. Her next stop Toledo, Ohio, to begin working as the 10 p.m. producer for FOX's local affiliate WTOL.After leaving Huntington University, Helmer took some time away from the Midwest and spent the summer following graduation hiking Lake Tahoe and exploring the streets of Los Angeles. On a day like any other, her old broadcasting adjunct professor informed her about a position opening at the television station where he worked."Ryan Elijah texted me about a part-time producer position at Indiana NewsCenter (in Fort Wayne)," she said. "Within five days of applying and interviewing, I was offered the position."At the station, she worked as the weekend news producer where she managed, wrote and coordinated the news show and occasionally reported. "I never intended on going into producing," she said. "With your first job, you can't pass up any opportunity that comes your way that gets you into your desired field. At Indiana News Center, I was not just a reporter — I found skills I had in other areas of the industry."After seven months in the Fort Wayne news market, Helmer received a phone call from an old HU friend about a position opening at his station in Toledo. After an email and one phone interview, she was asked to come meet the news director. After meeting with the news director, Helmer found herself caught in a dilemma. Her supervisor at Indiana NewsCenter offered her a position as the new 11 p.m. show producer. The news director at WTOL also offered her a position as the station's new 10 p.m. show producer. After careful consideration and negotiations, Helmer signed a two-year contract and accepted the position in Toledo. "I got to help build a show from scratch," she said. "I got to be a part of the brainstorming process of what the station wants the show to look like. I've always wanted to mesh my news and media skills with my business skills. I get to fill an entire hour of news. I am so excited."Along with the technical skills she developed working behind the camera, HU taught her what it takes to succeed in the broadcasting field. While at HU, she worked for HTV, the television news station at HU. As the producer, she delegated news stories to her crew and oversaw the production of the weekly news show."It's about my integrity," she said. "My mindset, attitude and confidence give me the skills I need to succeed in my position. In college, I knew my crew beyond their roles. Caring for the people you meet along the way is the only way you'll succeed in this industry. If you're given something you're good at, you are doing God and others a disservice by not pursuing excellence. You should always strive to be the best in your field."

It's understandable--I know the interviewers don't have power over who can move on or not just because you had a great conversation. It was a behavioral interview, so be prepared for that.

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks – interviewed at Teach for America.Interview Details
A very standard interview, besides the group part. But don't be intimidated by that; I believe they use it to weed out those with public speaking issues and those who are so antisocial that they can't fake it for 10 minutes. The one on one was simple. Simple questions, give simple/honest answers. But make sure to tell them you will not quit; that's what TFA is looking for (people who won't quit no matter how ridiculous their situation).Interview Questions

Corps Member InterviewApplication Details
I applied online – interviewed at Teach for America.Interview Details
Very thorough interview process with very good communication throughout entire process. After submitting my application online, I received an email shortly thereafter indicating I had been selected for a phone interview. The phone interview was about 20 minutes and was comprised of mostly behavioral style interview questions (i.e., Give me an example of a time when you faced adversity...). The phone interview was conducted by a bubbly female who stuck to a pre-determined script. Following the phone interview, I was selected for an on-site interview at a university about 45 minutes from my home. I received a very detailed email including all of the interview expectations and logistics. This interview included one-on-one and group interviews, as well as a 5-minute demonstration lesson taught by each candidate (there were about 10-15 candidates in a board room). Following the on-site interviews, it seemed like forever until "notification day," when we received an email stating whether or not we had been accepted into the Corps and our placement if accepted. I was overjoyed to received my acceptance email after a very thorough interview process. There was a second set of interviews after being accepted into the corps, which took place in our assigned city so that we could be interviewed by local schools in anticipation of our local placement. This was a fun day which involved "round robin" style interviewing with multiple school principals & school administrators. Each interview had a different feel, but the interviewers were all diligent about trying to find the best fit for their staff & school.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsThere are two offer stages -- you get offered by Teach For America, and then you get offered by a local school. These offers don't happen at the same time. You really only have two choices: accept or decline. There was not much room for negotiating salary with the local school. We just received a contract stating we would make about $42000 in the first year, so we all signed.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
- Almost all of the questions were behavioral in nature, so be prepared with tons of examples about how you overcame adversity, dealt with a challenge, failed, succeeded, showed leadership, etc. However, one principal asked a really bizarre riddle similar to the Google interview questions and I had no idea how to answer. I did not get hired by that school (lol). Answer Question

Written by Rich Forestano: email@example.com Friday, 15 June 2012 00:00
The 126 pound jockey said it was an unbelievable race, even though the win didn't come with spoiling history. I'll Have Another was scratched one day before a chance to push Affirmed aside in the history books as the last to win all three jewels of the Triple Crown. The horse became the second since 1936 to win the first two legs, only to be unable to compete in the "Test of Champions."
Velazquez credited the hard-luck colt with the victory. The horse switched jockeys from the Derby with Julien Leparoux to Velazquez, who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in August. Leparoux rode Atigun.
"I waited for a hole to open up and I got lucky," said Velazquez, who won the 2007 Belmont with filly Rags to Riches. "The horse did it all."
The victory for owner Phyllis Wyeth came long ago while she slipped into a deep slumbering sleep, just after she sold Union Rags. After breeding the colt, Wyeth sold him for $145,000 as a yearling but had a dream he would accomplish big things on the racetrack. She bought him back last year for $390,000.
Wyeth, 71, has been in a wheelchair since 2001. She was in a car accident 50 years ago in which she broke her neck.
"I knew. I had a dream," she said while holding the Owner's Trophy. "I knew he would make it. I only have that racehorse and half of another, a claimer. And I knew Michael could do it with him. It was my dream and he made it come true today."
Much like the Preakness, the Belmont was decided at the wire, with Paynter and Union Rags jockeying for position on the inside track, with the rest fading down the stretch of the 1 1/2 mile track in Elmont. Velazquez was pinned inside between Atigun and Paynter. It's exactly what he wanted.
"Coming down the stretch, it wasn't my intentions to come [inside] there, but when the other horse came over and went out next to me, I said, 'This is my opportunity to get through on the rail,'" Velazquez said.
The crowd of 85,811 cheered as the two furiously battled down the stretch, with Union Rags barely catching the front-runner in the second straight photo finish to decide a Triple Crown race this year.
Velazquez indicated that there was no change in the routine or mindset going into the Belmont after the scratch of the history-making hopeful. He was more worried about Dullahan, who came in at a disappointing seventh place.
"I think I'll Have Another was going to be close to the pace," Velazquez stated if the horse had raced. "With the two horses to follow, whether I was going to follow I'll Have Another or Mike Smith's horse, that was my plan. My only concern was not to do too much with him the first part of the race, I wouldn't have enough to fight Dullahan. I was concerned about Dullahan. Especially the way he finished in the Derby."
Trainer Michael Matz said in the Winners Circle that preparation for the race was key due to its unusual length and although he had trouble in the Derby (he placed seventh) and sat out the Preakness, he knew he had a winner in the barn with this 3-year-old.
"We always thought this horse had Triple Crown potential," said Matz, who trained 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro. "When we trained him, we gave him four races as a 2-year-old and gave him a rest and had a good plan. He never missed a beat. His first race [this year] couldn't have been any easier. He had trouble in his second race and his third race. I do really think that this horse, when he has a clean trip and can show himself, is one of the best 3-year-olds in this crop."
On coming around the turn and barreling for home, Matz said he was confident the horse would come through at finish line. He commended Velazquez for coming in and riding Union Rags for the first time on to victory.
"Johnny did a terrific job," Matz stated. "He broke cleanly and saved ground. He just made a terrific effort."
Velazquez feels this victory validated Union Rags after a rough start in the first two legs.
"People forgot about this horse," Velazquez said pointing at Union Rags. "This horse was one of the first choices for the Derby, and he had a bad race in the Derby and right away everybody forgot about him. Everybody got off the bandwagon…All I know is I've been watching this horse for a long time and he's a very, very good horse."


text: Some serious slammin from The Pointer Sisters – still going strong here, near the end of an amazing run of records done with producer Richard Perry! The late 80s vibe is definitely in place – as the beats are a lot more upfront than previously for the trio – a bumpin, thumping approach to the groove that really lives up to the title – and which serves to be a perfect way to emphasize the hook-heavy approach to soul that was always the Sisters' strongest suit. The album's filled with crossover gems – and titles include "Shut Up & Dance", "He Turned Me Out", "Flirtatious", "I'm In Love", "My Life (rmx)", "Pride", "I Will Be There", and "Moonlight Dancing". CD features 5 bonus tracks – including "Translation (rmx)", "I'm In Love (single)", "He Turned Me Out (ext radio)", "Be There (12" ext)", and "He Turned Me Out (ext dance mix)". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

I play bass in Eastern Block (now known as The Lower Caves), as a Fender artist. With the Fender American Vintage Precision Bass I feel like I have truly come home.
Let's start with aesthetics. I own the 3-tone burst model. It has a beautiful paint job. Compared to a vintage '63, the burst design is period specific. The chrome covers also lend themselves to the beauty of the bass. I wanted a bass that looked like the ones my heroes played back in the day, and now I get to have that. The AV '63 also features the period correct clay dot inlays. It adds a nice color texture to the beautiful rosewood fingerboard. Some of the fingerboards on the AV '63 are darker with a tighter grain display, while others are lighter in color with a wider grain. Mine is the latter.
As for playablity, the wider nut and mass of the C shaped neck feels better than the more modern C shaped necks. The thinner frets also give the finger to string to neck a better feel. I have strong hands and play heavily with my left hand and my right, so the overall beefy-ness of the neck feels very good to me. I thought the chrome covers would get in my way, but they aren't bad at all. I decided to leave them on. I put the Flatwound strings on that came in the case candy. The strings feel really good. I tend to play either close to the bridge or close to the neck, so there wasn't much of a change for me.
Tone wise, this bass is king. It has a really nice low end. While playing between the chrome covers, the bass has a more midrange punch with a slight bite or growl. While playing close to the neck, the bass sounds warm and smooth. The tone nob, also vintage correct, allows me to roll off the brightness if I want to play blues or country. I add a little more brightness while playing rock. It is very dynamic. The bass sounds very good recorded as well as live. I think it is the best P-Bass on the market. Go get one!

Great job you did on this bass. This is IT for me. The neck is the best feeling Fender bass neck I've ever laid my hands on. If I were to have a neck custom made for my specific biomechanics; it would be like this '63 Precision. The bass is light and very resonant. The sound is just delicious. The fit and finish is dead right, and the classic shape, red color and dark rosewood fingerboard makes it a sexy looking thing altogether. This bass is what it's all about and my new # 1.

BREMEN — Money for school is the reason behind the Third Annual Old Fashioned Days coming up in Bremen.
Rentown is the sponsor of the event that will raise funds for Rolling Meadows School. The festival starts at 3 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 5, and continues Saturday and Sunday.
Many will remember lots of the exhibits and activities from Koontz Hardware's show that went on every fall for many years.
"Koontz approached us about taking it over because it had really outgrown their area there in Bremen," said Dennis Hochstetler of Rentown. "They did their steam show there for years and we moved it out here where there is more room."
The show will take place three miles east of Bremen at 2640 Birch Road and will feature steam power of all kinds from the Miller Family with their hit and miss engines, Rumleys and antique tractors.
Threshing machines a sawmill, woodcarving and crafts will all be at the show.
"Studebaker is bringing some cars down to display this year as well," said Dennis. "We are going to have train rides for the kids all day and a little more fun – adult trike races. It will be in the field so it won't be easy going."
And of course - food.
Homemade ice cream, fried pies and a bake sale are just part of it.
"We'll have pressed cider made with a steam engine," said Dennis. "We'll have ham and bean soup with corn bread made over an open fire."
In addition to steam and even earlier form of power will be showcased.
"For the first time this year we'll have a team of oxen and a team of mules plowing," said Dennis.
The event will take place about a half a mile from the Rentown store on Birch Road in Bremen.

Evolution in the Holy Land
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.

All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
From 2012: Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one 'truism'—that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view of the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all. New Atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins and creationist writers such as Ken Ham seem to have arrived at consensus on this.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
There is often a worry that working in or studying science is a threat to faith, but stories of scientists who are Christians in the top ranks of academia show that this is not the case.
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
"I believe that we must now ask for more than simple avoidance of cognitive dissonance. I believe we should seek for cognitive consonance."
Carl's dramatic lines that opened his Cosmos were repeated in Cosmos II: "The universe is all there is, or was, or ever will be." When I told Haines Stiles that many people took that as a statement of atheism, he responded with surprise. "Really?" he said. "We just put that in because it sounded poetic!"
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.

Fairly revolutionary when launched and certainly years ahead of its time the Yamaha TDM850 was a sort of Multistrada 12 years before Ducati thought of it. As a serious 'street trailie allrounder it's pretty effective, too. The later 900 is better, but the Yamaha TDM850 is still decent, good value, different, and largely overlooked.

The holidays are a popular time to stop and thank teachers and all of the wonderful staff at school for all they do.
With the holidays behind us, I find that I'm in need of a few handmade thank you cards. I'd like to share with you a trio of winter themed thank you cards for any occasion that show how a mix of Fiskars Lever Punches, Squeeze Punches and Stamps can be used in creative ways.
Snowman "Thanks So Much" Card Instructions:
1. Cut a 2.5 inch by 3 inch piece of red cardstock and use the Snowbubbles Border Corner Punch around the edges – for the narrower sides, I used the corner only and for the longer sides, I included the edge portion of the punch as well.
Use 3 Circle Hand Punch sizes for additional circles to fill in the small gaps on the narrow ends of the rectangle. Also, I set aside the red cardstock circles to use on my next card.
2. Mat red punched frame onto white cardstock of the same size and then on black cardstock that is 2.75 by 3.25 inches.
3. To create the snow "girl", punch 2 circles from white cardstock using the Pop Up Punch and Medium Squeeze Punch. Use the Circle Hand Punches and the Heart Hand Punch to create eyes, buttons and a heart. Adhere black and red cardstock to the back of the white circles for color to show through the negative spaces. Then adhere the snowman in the center of the red punched frame.
4. Punch a Medium Lever Heart shape from orange cardstock, cut off the end to create the carrot nose and adhere to the face.
5. Use the Snowbubbles Border Corner Punch on a scrap blue pattern paper, then adhere the largest snowflake to the top of the head.
6. Cut a 5 inch by 6 inch piece of blue pattern paper for the background and adhere it to the front of a white cardstock card of the same size. Then adhere the framed snow "girl" an inch below the top using with adhesive foam.
7. Stamp the "Thanks So Much" sentiment onto white cardstock and cut out with scissors. Punch a heart using the Heart Hand Punch on the right, cover the back with a small piece of red cardstock and adhere this below the rectangle again using adhesive foam.
8. Apply glitter glue to the blue snowflake, the hearts and the white snowflake negative spaces to complete.
Winterberry Wreath "Thank You" Card Instructions:
1. Create a 5 inch by 7 inch white cardstock card.
2. Punch 7 Tree punches from brown cardstock, apply adhesive to the back and adhere them in a circle in the center of the card.
3. Punch another 7 Tree punches, cut off the trunks and apply these between the spaces of the first layer.
4. Adhere the red cardstock circles created from the snowman card around the wreath's branches.
5. Stamp the "Thank You" sentiment in the center of the card with brown ink to complete.
Cardinals "Thank You" Card Instructions:
1. Cut a 6 inch piece of blue pattern paper and adhere to 6 inch square card from white cardstock.
2. Using the Ultra ShapeXpress Tool with the freehand attachment or scissors cut a wavy section of white pattern paper to create the snowy ground and adhere to the bottom area of the card.
3. Cut 2 ovals from the Oval Shape Template, layer and adhere just above the ground.
4. Freehand cut a tree trunk from brown pattern paper and adhere on top of the snowy tree and ground.
5. Squeeze Punch Clouds, cut them in half and adhere only the tops to the background sky.
6. Punch a snowflake and adhere just under the clouds.
7. To create the cardinals, Squeeze Punch an Extra Large Oval and with the Large Oval at an angle, punch out a portion of the larger oval. Trim off one tip to create the tail.
8. Use the Heart Lever Punch to create the beak and wing, then add a black mini brad for an eye. Adhere the birds to the tree and ground of the card.
9. Using a Stamp Block, stamp the doodled frame onto white cardstock.
10. Apply black ink to the "thank you" stamp, then cover the "o" with a small piece of adhesive note pad paper and stamp the sentiment in the center of the doodled frame.
11. Lever Punch a Heart and adhere this between the "Y" and "U" then cut out the frame with the Craft Knife. Adhere to the bottom right of the card with adhesive foam to complete.

Side note. Our 10-man two healed this fight yesterday with a disc priest and pally allowing our tree to go boom giving us a nice dps boost. Our kill took 40 seconds less time (3:48) and the fight was much smoother.
Lil' Willie
I read all the four pages and i have seen any oen mention about the OT geting a MD.
I have a realy good hunter in my group that is awsome at target swaping and MD. All i had to do was to do big circle around the boss and cast FF feary fire every time i could. I didn't had to take one beat of it and no healer could get agro either.
so much easier on healer

Judging from our wipes, we found Rotface 10 harder than 25. We've made a number of changes to our 'plan of attack' which may or may not help you.
-We ran with two healers instead of three. This really helped us and sort of made us kick ourselves after spending the night wiping with 3 healers. While from our tries people's health reaching 0 was the main cause of death, as I'm sure it is for everyone else, the excess healing just didn't help.
-I have this campaign against Slime Spray. Not that I've compared numbers but I consider it a void zone in effect. No one should be hit by it. On the whole most people in melee will avoid it. For use at least, the problem comes when people aren't next to the boss and either forget or have this misguided notion they won't be hit. This occurs when the ozee explodes or when people have the debuff on them.
-The debuff I have assumed is what kills most people. Or more, the healing debuff that comes as a fun little extra. For this reason I like to be dispelled sooner rather than later. While dispelling instantly is -bad-. Once you are out of melee I would. The slime's melee and aura may hit harder than the debuff, but it doesn't nerf the healing you need.
-Alot of deaths from the healing debuff comes from when the player in question is hit by either the Big Ozees Aura or Slime Spray. Taking heavy damage with a healing debuff will kill you at the later end of the fight, hence the need to avoid damage and dispel fast (but not too fast, just when out of the raid)
-As a warlock who likes to take damage to prove I can 'handle it' I feel there is a stage in the fight where you 'Ignore the tactics, Nuke him'. This is where you stay spread out after an explosion, and just focus on damage and ignore the tactics. For us it was 10% or around that marker. It removes the Big Ozees from play taking out a source of AoE damage.
Just as a clarification, I see folks mentioning that you can just run through the large pools of slime that cover a quarter of the room when kiting the big ooze. This is on 25s correct? I run a 10 man guild and we're having difficulties with this encounter, would running through the slime pools on 10s be viable?

Thanks for the reply, we'll see what happens tonight!
so just to clarify 10man this IS a 2 healer fight right? blowing hero in the beginning?
It's really up to your raids personal preference. That said, if you're having problems killing him with 3 healers, try it with 2 and see if that helps. It's not as black and white as say Anub'arak in ToC was.
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
If you can get around the 30-40% mark in around 3 mins then w/e your setup is fine
i dont wish to impede on tankspot but i have my own video you can check, it might help.
However, I did make the comment that any boss that dies faster, has less time to do its abilities. That fact always holds true. If you kill Ragnaros before he submerges, he doesn't submerge. That's the fundamental concept of DPS. If whatever it is you are fighting dies faster, you don't have to deal with as many of its abilities.
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
We're struggling with this guy on 25 man, I lost track of the attempts but I'm guessing 30+ so far. 10 man was a steep learning curve as well but we've downed him a couple times with more then 1 ten man group. Even got him to 523k in 25 man that was heartbreaking.
Some things to note that I haven't seen posted:
Make absolutely sure your DK's are not using Army of the Dead on this encounter. I suppose at the very start its possible but anytime after can be a death sentence the reason being is that if the DK is hit by the Big Oozes radiation they will flip out and pull the big ooze off your kiter into the raid. Result, dead raid.
Someone else mentioned running head on into the Big Ooze with your little one results in a merge every time, I can confirm this. You will take a good 9-10k dmg tick but its a reliable way to make them merge. Healthstones are your friend here.
We actually pre speed potion 1 second before the pull to give us a 8-12 second haste buff to the raid.
Since i am the shaman I then pop Elemental Mastery wait for it to run out then blow heroism. It coincides well with the first slime spray and even though 1 or 2 people are out merging slimes it allows us to make the most of our DPS.
We then use a 2nd Haste Pot about 30 seconds after Heroism has faded, the slimes have sped up at this point but aren't near the 6 second intervals yet.
For those having a rough time on ten man my team has downed him using 2 and 3 healers so you can go either way on it. I actually kited while the DK tank went DPS spec. Being an elemental shaman it had some advantages, I can agro the big ooze safely from range easily hitting it with Flame Shock and Lava Burst while still maintaining a safe kiting distance.
Also on the little oozes I frost shock them or earthbind totem root them so the infected player has more room for error in merging them without being gibbed by the little ooze and the big oozes radiation.
Its really not so bad to have a range as your kiter as long as your OT can go into a DPS spec that doesn't hurt the overall raid DPS alot. I am still able to maintain some damage on rotface as I kite as well whereas most tanks will not be able to contribute any damage to the boss while kiting.
I don't usually post here but i need real serious advice.
My guild has been on Rotface since his release. We've made improvements on our attempts but we have been wiping on him for the last 4 weeks now. My raiders are getting very frustrated on this fight.
Our strat is to immediatly flip Rotface around and have him face the back wall. DPS gets into a semi-circle around him to deal with the slime spray. Our first Infected member runs to the north wall to our Off-tank then runs around counter clockwise, making adjustments (changing directions) as the slime pours in. The second and every following injected member runs in the general direction of our OT (marked) and quickly passes the Big ooze to merge it. We repeat the process until our first explosion, we run to the walls as soon as the Big ooze pops and then run back to our same positions as soon as it is safe. This repeats until we start dying off, usualy in the last -1.3mil. We have Lust popped a couple of injections in. We can get him down to less than 1 Million HP, even had several where he was under 200k. Our best was 156k.
On a side not, i just read about not cleansing infections. I know for fact that myself and our ele shaman had every infection cleansed off us once we were in position to drop it. Making this change to my guild's strategy.
We also noticed a couple things last night that just didn't seem right.
-Oozes would spawn from our rogue on the outer wall then chase our Priest. After taking a couple bites out of her, they would run straight to our Resto druid, or some combination of members. We had one instance where it wen straight for our MT after spawning from another member.
-When merging 2 Small Oozes we had 2 instance where the oozes would not merge, then run right under Rotface and merge under him only to get caught in our Paladin tank's consecration.
Any help our advice is much appreciated.
Any of these can cause the Small Ooze to follow different aggro rules. Mirror Images explicitly gives aggro to the images rather than the player. Everything else results in either a temporary or permanent drop in threat. This list isn't all inclusive, though should be most of the mechanics which cause unpredictable behavior.
Mirror Images
Ice Block
Feign Death
Hand of Protection
Divine Intervention
Divine Shield
Ways to mess up aggro on Big Ooze:
Pets that automatically taunt, very bad.
Army of the Dead
Other possible mistakes:
Running back to raid prior to confirming a merge, only one can merge at a time. It's not an exact science but until you see yours merge, you shouldn't be running back to the middle. You, the infected party, are responsible for making yours merge. No one else is responsible for this but you. If yours doesn't merge, it's your fault, no one elses.

Aliena, which addons are you using, if I can ask?
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
My bad.
Thanks for the info
Quoting Inashne: "our Off-tank then runs around counter clockwise, making adjustments (changing directions) as the slime pours in."
I'd strongly recommend your OT sticks to one direction throughout the fight (clockwise or anticlockwise), the damage from slime pouring in is pretty low and pally blessing of freedom will prevent the slow, he basically summons small slimes faster and faster through the fight (I've simplified the mechanics a bit) and so for the last 30% you need to merge small slimes quickly otherwise you can potentially have 2 or more large slimes up at one - not an instant wipe but can be a real pain! Sticking to one direction makes it easier for guildies to predict where the OT will be and run out fast.
**Give me a hug and I'll defend you with my life**
Blog: http://www.tankspot.com/blog.php?550-Shortypop
In either 10 or 25m I suggest having your ranged dps / healers stand in-front of the boss while the melee stays behind. This means that ~1/2 the time the ranged will have to stop casting and move. If all the ranged are behind the boss, every time Rotface slime sprays ALL of the ranged have to stop casting and move. That is a considerate amount of dps loss and hard on the healers. But that is what people do for reasons I am unaware of.
Wowikki has this info: In regular intervals, Rotface uses Slime Spray. He turns in a random direction (this ability is not targeted on specific players). However, I find this debatable. Every time I have fought Rotface, 90% of the dps/healers were behind the boss and his slime spray targeted to that side almost every time.
From my experience on my arcane mage, doing it both ways, I've increased my dps by ~1000 by standing in the front, reducing the amount of wasted GCD's by ~10-15 per attempt. You could also have just the healers in the front, if healing is the issue, to reduce the amount of times the front gets the spray. Personally, If I was the RL of a hardcore, hard mode guild, I would have the casters without many instants in their rotation stand in the front. [EX] Holy Paladin, Resto shaman, Arcane mage, Destro lock, etc.
If anyone sees an issue with this strat let me know.
