Purchasing certified wheat seed brings benefits
According to research, certified wheat seed varieties offer growers a greater return than planting bin-run varieties--as much as $22 an acre or more.
Now that the 2008 wheat crop is harvested and growers have started thinking about the coming planting season, they should take a close look at purchasing certified seed varieties.
Research by Kansas State University shows certified seed pays for itself at a mere 1 bushel-per-acre yield advantage and a market price of $3.50 a bushel. According to research by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, certified seed typically out-yields bin-run varieties by 1.2 to 2.5 bushels per acre. With market prices above $7 per bushel, even a bushel or two yield advantage makes a substantial economic impact.
"Growers need to take into account the cost of bin-run seed," says Darrell Hanavan, executive director of the Colorado Wheat Research Foundation. "First, if they weren't saving that seed, they'd be able to sell it for well over $7 per bushel. Then there are the costs of cleaning, cleanout, labor, storage and interest, which add over a dollar. When you think about $8 to $9 per bushel for bin-run seed, then consider the lower germination rate and the yield difference, certified seed simply makes greater economic sense."
Ripper is a new hard red winter wheat which is available from certified seed growers this year. Ripper out-yielded Prairie Red, TAM 107 and Jagalene by an average of more than 6 bushels per acre in plots across Colorado this year. Two- and three-year averages are equally impressive. In on-farm situations, Ripper often topped the farm average by 5 bushels per acre or more. Ripper proved its drought tolerance this season by beating out new varieties like Hawken, Tam 111, and Tam 112 by 4 bushels per acre. If farmers are planting older varieties like Prairie Red, TAM 107 or Jagalene, they're leaving substantial income opportunities on the table.
Hatcher was the most widely planted variety in the state in fall of 2007. Growers may be tempted to save a few dollars this fall by planting bin-run Hatcher seed. They should keep in mind the purity and yield advantage of certified seed versus bin-run quality. Planting certified seed with better germination and seedling vigor will offer higher yields and greater income than lower-quality saved seed. Hatcher and Ripper are good varieties to plant as complements to each other in the same year, as Hatcher would be expected to have higher yield in wet years, and Ripper will yield higher in dry years.
In addition to yield advantages, certified wheat seed must meet strict standards ensuring a quality product that is fully inspected and laboratory-tested to guarantee genetic purity, germination and seed purity from weeds, disease, and other varieties and crops.
"Growers must also consider the hidden costs of planting bin-run seed," Hanavan says. "Some research has shown random samples of bin-run seed that had 62 percent severe seed damage and varietal purity issues. Plus, growers often must seed at a higher rate to account for lower germination of bin-run seed."

I could start with some Radiohead or Squirrel Nut Zippers or whatever else is at hand, but I settle on my twin brother because he's in the family, and nobody's going to come after my ass, except maybe him. I insert his self-produced music CD, Tierra del Fuego ($13 if you're interested), into the drive, launch a free software application called a data ripper (available from www.mp3.com), and drag and drop a near-perfect copy of the disc onto my hard drive. The software encodes the songs into MP3 files, highly compressed versions that retain almost identical sound quality to the CD--far better than RealAudio or .WAV files. To finish it off, I upload the array of MP3 files to his site (colinbunn. simplenet.com), where anybody can download them for themselves. (It helps to have a T1.) Tierra del Fuego, free if you're interested.
Then again, you might want to spend your $0 nabbing an impeccable version of "My Heart Will Go On," Korn's "Ass Itch," or the countless illegally uploaded MP3 files on the Net. The stats on this underground music market are sketchy, but Cyveillance, an Internet surveillance company that tracks piracy, speculates there are over a thousand sites that contain some hundred thousand MP3 files. By way of comparison, the excellent resource MP3.com, since launching 11 months ago, has had 4 million downloads of legit (authorized) songs by both major performers like the Beastie Boys and unsigned artists. Traffic to the site is increasing by 45 percent each month. "The MP3 thing has gone crazy--it's huge," says Michael Goldberg, senior vice president and editorial director of the online music hub SonicNet.com. "The kids under 24 who grew up on computers are really into the idea of being able to download music. The record industry needs to look at that... and figure out a way to ride on it."
The recording industry has, of course, done just the opposite--and understandably so. After months of scanning the Web (with Cyveillance) and spooking pirate sites with cease and desist mail, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)--which represents the major labels (90 percent of the entire music industry)--has finally snapped. Last Friday, the RIAA was granted a restraining order against Silicon Valley company Diamond Multimedia (www.diamondmm.com) to stall the release of the company's MP3 walkman, called the Rio player.
Set to ship in early November, the highly anticipated $199 Rio is exactly the kind of device that could transform MP3 trade from an online phenomenon into a mass-market craze. Smaller and slighter than a regular Walkman, the Rio player has no moving parts. It connects to your hard drive and can download up to 60 minutes of MP3 files. (The player itself comes with a CD of 200 MP3 songs, none of which had been finalized as of press time.)
"Diamond is launching this product now to take advantage of the pirate market on the Net," says RIAA president Hilary Rosen. "The music industry is working with the tech industry on long-term solutions to security issues [for music]... but Diamond is deliberately not waiting."
Both parties seem to agree about what the Rio player does, but they can't agree on how to talk about it, which makes all the difference. According to the RIAA, the Rio player is a recording device, and therefore violates the 1992 Audio Home Recording Act, which forces the makers and distributors of digital recording devices to pay a royalty to the music industry because of the risk of copyright infringement (with perfect copies via DAT or MP3).
But Diamond rep Ken Wirt argues that Rio is not a recorder but a playback device, since it's simply replaying music that has been acquired elsewhere (i.e., online). "We are only authorizing legit MP3 sources like MP3.com or [MP3 online label] Goodnoise.com," Wirt says. "We're not condoning or favoring or enabling piracy. You don't need a Rio player to [pirate music]."
"Piracy is just the cost of doing business in the digital age," says Michael Robertson, CEO of MP3.com. "The software industry went through the same thing." But consumers rejected the hassle of many security methods, and even when they worked, they weren't foolproof. "People will always do an end-run [around them]," Robertson says.
The end-run here is starting to look like a full-frontal attack, prompted by the groundswell of small-time, unsigned artists turning MP3 into their medium of choice. What 90 percent of the music business calls "piracy," the other 10 percent calls "marketing." Razorfish Studios, the multimedia entertainment group of the New York design shop Razorfish, released its first album, by Brooklyn-based artist Ticklah, this fall. Initially, the company released RealAudio clips of Polydemic online as a teaser for the $12 CD. Only 350 albums were sold. So starting last week, Razorfish made an MP3 version of the whole album available for $2, a "very provisional" fee, says president Michael Simon. "We're testing the market... If five people download it, it'll stay two dollars. If 6000 people do it, it'll become competitively priced."
For a whole raft of unknowns, the charts of MP3.com's Top Downloads (which are free) have become a low-fi Billboard list, where 7,000 copies can make a superstar. "I've been to Nashville, and I've eaten a lot of baloney sandwiches and learned to like it," says unsigned country singer and comedian Michael Sharp, who distributes through MP3.com. "But the record industry is a political game, and [MP3] breaks all the barriers down." Sharp got so angered over the Rio v. RIAA spat that he penned a song in defense of the format, called "RIAA--Kiss it Goodbye." (Sample lyrics: "Diamond Rio . . . we know what you're going through/ things that you shouldn't have to/but we're going to fight em 2 the end... RIAA is wrong.")
Oddly, some of the biggest hits for the past five weeks haven't been music at all. Ripe sampler-fodder like "She Touched My Weenie" and "That Woman"--straight cribs of Clinton's testimonies--have settled at top positions. But it's not likely Rio listeners will want to go jogging with Bill hedging around in the earphones. The market for the Rio player will demand a market of major-label releases available on MP3. With the current state of the industry, that means consumers would effectively have to turn to illegal trade just to get the music they wanted. In the meantime, smaller labels might do well to fill in the breach, says SonicNet's Goldberg. "I just read that a Billy Squire song is going to be up and available for download--but who cares?" he says. "What will be cool is when you get [smaller labels] Dischord or Kill Rock Stars or Matador--where you've got people with really good taste--that start to use the medium to distribute stuff."
As it stands, it's not even clear whether Rio will make it to market. A second hearing is slated for Monday "The RIAA has really sat on their hands for two years and . . . they see that the train has left the station and they're not on it," says MP3.com's Robertson. "Now, they're throwing rocks to make it stop."

The lyrics of the hymns and praise and worship songs of the church are, outside of the Bible, the way most people establish their belief system, which is reflected in the way they think about and live their faith. The lyrics may be good or bad, perceptive or trite, and may or may not teach sound theological concepts. Christians should carefully consider what they are singing because it shapes their theological perspective whether they realize it or not.read more

Yes, that's the kind of morning headline that could break your mind, and leave both your exhausted brain cells out of commission for the rest of the day. It's fortunate, then, that this didn't actually happen at all. Not even slightly.
Instead, it is this week's three crazy-ass events in one. A medley of madness, if you will, or an amalgamation of absurdity, or... we're out. It's been a long week. Let's just get to business.
In today's gallery, Enter the Dominatrix surfaces for real (at last) as a sex-worker-stuffed DLC package for Saints Row IV, while Queen Elizabeth II lends us her --elderly yet expert, we're sure-- opinion on the evils of video games. A special mention also goes to the nine-year-old who went on a airplane romp across the country, inspired by Grand Theft Auto V. It's a thrilling tale of bravery, adventure and dumbass parents. How can you pass that up? You can't, that's how.
Kotaku brings us raunchy DLC, some wisdom from Queen Lizzie and Grand Theft Auto-flavored weirdness with airplanes.

Vanderbilt's Adam Butler Sings George Strait's 'Amarillo By Morning'
Vanderbilt defensive lineman Adam Butler is a huge George Strait fan. And by huge I mean in both his fandom and his actually body size. During a radio segment with SiriusXM College Sports on Monday at SEC Media Days, the 6'5, 305-pound man-child showed off his singing skills by belting "Amarillo By Morning" for host Mark Packer. Not only did Butler sooth the airways with his voice, he did so for Packer's wife.

Jon Bon Jovi made one super-fan's dreams come true when he surprised her by walking her down the aisle Saturday at the Graceland Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas – 24 years after he married wife Dorothea at the exact same venue.
In August, Australian Bon Jovi fan Branka Delic had started an online petition recruiting him for her wedding to Gonzalo Cladera. The rocker was to be in town the same weekend for the "Because We Can" tour at the MGM Grand.

Richie Sambora got a vote of confidence from his bandmates in Bon Jovi as he takes a temporary break from the tour, reportedly to enter a treatment center.
"Our support for Richie is absolute," Bon Jovi says in a statement Thursday. "He is, and will remain, a member of Bon Jovi. Although he will be absent from upcoming shows for the time being, we very much look forward to his healthy return. In the meantime, we will keep our commitment to our fans and continue our tour."
The band, whose next stop is April 30 in New Orleans, did not cite a reason for Sambora's absence. But online reports say the guitarist, 52, is getting rehab for his sobriety and exhaustion. – Joey Bartolomeo

Play Money September 17, 2007Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, Misc MMOs, MMO Design.
Tags: RMT, Ultima Online
I recently finished reading "Play Money: or How I Quit My Day Job and Made Millions Trading Virtual Loot" by Julian Dibbell.
Actually, I recently finished listening to it. It was available on Audible.com and I took it as one of my two monthly titles.
Often listening to a book like this, one containing some level of detail, can be a bit annoying. Having somebody read off numbers or statistics doesn't work well for me, especially if they change over the course of a book. I always like to flip pages to compare these sorts of things.
"Play Money" is a little bit different, as much of the numbers read off are available online. The book is based primarily on a series of blog posts from 2003 and 2004 by Mr. Dibbell.
You can actually get the basic information the book delivers by just reading his blog. But you would miss out on some of the cool stuff in the book.
What the book delivers is the story behind the blog entries. What drove particular entries, who he was working with, what he was thinking at the time, and what really goes on… or went on… with gold sellers in a virtual world.
The virtual world in which this all takes place is that of Ultima Online.
This actually struck me as odd at first. With the time frame set mostly in 2003, I tend to think of UO as past its prime at that point.
But UO had one advantage when it came to an external, real money economy: Mythic Origin did not take a hard stance against selling in-game currency and items for real money. So, unlike SOE, Blizzard, CCP, and other companies, Mythic Origin did not spend time shutting down eBay auctions, banning gold selling accounts, or any of the other activities that we generally see today in response to the sale of in-game currency.
That lax attitude by Mythic Origin made for a vibrant external economy even when the game was past its heyday.
The book itself is woven about three things.
First, most of the book goes into the methods and dynamics of the gold and item trade; bots, exploits, scams, cartels, trade wars, alliances, and Chinese gold farmers. You will recognize some of the players in that trade including Brock Pierce, who founded IGE, and Markee Dragon, once a big gold selling site and now one that sells, among other things, EVE Online Game Time Cards… and has a tutorial on how to trade them for ISK. Where have I heard that before?
Second, the book also goes into some detail about the game itself, something I found at least as interesting as the dynamics of the external trade. I never played UO, and probably never will at this point, but the book gives some fairly rich views of the world of Sosaria that I quite enjoyed. If you played the game these sections will probably bring up a good deal of nostalgia for the game.
Finally, the book tries to make a few over-arching points about play, the future impact of virtual work and virtual economies, and the tax implications thereof. While the theories of play and the studies of virtual economies are interesting, the author, in my opinion, never quite completes any of the big points he starts out to make. Even on the tax implications, something that you would think might be cut and dried (unless you actually do your own taxes), he comes up empty, though only after an amusing set of encounters with the IRS.
While the book does not makes its case for existence with any sort of big picture conclusion, it is quite an enjoyable read for those interested in the smaller picture dynamics of the gold trade and its interaction Ultima Online. The characters the author meets, their motivations, and how the game itself becomes nothing more than a backdrop for the "bigger" game of the gold trade make for a rich enough story.
I am tempted to pick up a hard copy of the book just to go back over some of the Ultima Online chapters. That is the problem with audio books, you cannot flip back and re-read sections very easily. There is a soft bound version available at Amazon.com now.

If you Want to experiance Ultima Online, this is truely the place to go.

First official Guardians of the Galaxy image revealed
(Click on the above for a bigger, higher-res version) Well here's a rather brilliant surprise to kickstart 2014. Disney have revealed the first official image from Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. The whole main cast is on show, giving us our first proper glimpse at (from left to right) Zoe Saldana's green-skinned bad-ass Gamora, Chris Pratt's Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon (as voiced by Bradley Cooper), Dave Bautista's muscled powerhouse Drax the Destroyer, and finally Groot (as voiced by Vin Diesel). Guardians of the Galaxy is in UK cinemas from 1 August 2014. Very early #GotG still released by Disney today. pic.twitter.com/lWxR39TQHT — James Gunn (@JamesGunn) December 31, 2013

Earlier today, we dissected the Cilantro, the latest cocktail to come out of ZZs Clam Bar. Its the handiwork of Thomas Waugh, drinks czar of Major Food Group, the parent company of ZZs, Torrisi Italian Specialties, Carbone, and Parm. Waugh did time at the Alembic Bar and Enricos Sidewalk Café in San Francisco before he moved to New York and made a name for himself at Death & Co. and Clover Club. Perhaps youve noticed him behind the bar at ZZs? Hes the one wearing a white double-breasted military-marching-band jacket, gold bow tie, short shorts, and a terrific burst of whiskers. But we were talking about his new drink, which features chile-infused tequila and is served in an actual chile pepper. Waugh, you see, believes that while anyone can pour a cocktail into a plain old cocktail glass, it takes vision and gumption, not to mention a highly developed sense of whimsy, to serve a drink in a ceramic Buddha, coconut shell, brass pineapple, or poblano pepper, as is the custom at ZZs. Here, he weighs in on the local cocktail scene and shares a few details about drinks currently in development.
At ZZs, youre known for your unusual collection of glassware, and for allowing the drinking vessel to dictate the cocktail you create and put in it. Explain.
Well, I was getting kind of bored with the redundancy of all the different cocktail bars and the whole movement of the cocktail scene in New York. Everyone just uses the same stuff every time, you know? Im getting to the point where a cocktail doesnt really impress me much any more. Oh, you figured out a great flavor combination. Good for you; you should have by now, youve been working in the industry for ten years. So, my thing is, lets make everything more fantastical. Lets implement more than just flavor in a drink. Everybody just uses the same cheap, shitty glassware. So the more things I can find that have texture if the stem of the glass has texture, or an extra-thin-lipped glass or something that has feeling to it, or images on the glass the better. You know that what you smell is mainly what you taste; I try to apply that same principle to things that you see, things that you touch, things that you hear.
Why are you so bored with the cocktail scene?
The cocktail world has gotten very serious. To a lot of people, its more fun to go dancing or go to a dive bar and listen to loud rock n roll. No one wants to go to a cocktail church, and have to remove their hat, you know, and not talk to girls. People in the cocktail industry are preventing people from getting laid, basically. We like to have fun here. Some people think its like a really uptight, high-end restaurant, but its the opposite, I think.
Is that what the uniforms about, a kind of parody of cocktail geekdom?
Yeah, well, I dont know. The uniform just came about accidentally. I was riding my bike around one day last summer and I got a text message from one of the guys, Hey the coats came in, you should try them on ... I came around and they were all laughing at me and making fun of me for wearing these short shorts, but thats just what I do, so I dont care. So then Im trying the coats on and we were all bursting out laughing: me in these short shorts and this Army surplus tuxedo coat. Then they were like: This is it, this should be the uniform.
Is that bow tie a clip-on or one you tie yourself?
Its a clip-on, but thats a secret.
Your bosses are pretty busy these days preparing for the openings of Dirty French at the Ludlow Hotel, and also the High Line restaurant project. Can you tell us anything about the cocktails youre planning for them?
Dirty French is going to be sort of modeled after a classic cocktail menu, very French, a lot of pastis and absinthe and whatnot, also with sort of a New Orleans feel to it. Theres a Sazerac variation with cumin, and a sort of Manhattan variation with Japanese whiskey and coconut-infused vermouth a lot of dried fruits, a lot of spices. And for the High Line, which is going to come a little later, we keep throwing around this term patio drinks, so think outdoors, think refreshing, a lot of soda, Champagne. Theres a gin-based cocktail with long pepper infused into it, and then pomelo syrup, and then citrus juice, fresh lime juice, and like a hot-pepper jam. Its going to be like a sweet, peppery, but refreshing and citrusy gin sour of sorts.
Okay, now for the lightning round. Whats your favorite cocktail?
Probably a daiquiri: a classic white rum, lime, sugar daiquiri, the trinity, the ultimate. Spirit, citrus, sugar. The simpler the better.
Least favorite?
I dont care what people drink, I dont really like being put on paper saying I hate people who drink vodka sodas, but in my opinion, you could not get any more boring than that: putting something flavorless on top of something else thats flavorless.
Most overused ingredient?
Probably two years ago it was St. Germain. I dont feel like I really have a lot of overused ingredients.
Rhum agricole. Its too funky for most people, but I love it. If you can mix it well, people probably wont even know theres agricole in the drink. I use a really funky, vegetal agricole in small doses to add an extra dimension of weirdness.
How important is ice?
It kind of depends on what kind of drinker you are. If youre a slow drinker, ice is very important; if youre a fast drinker, maybe not so much.
Speaking of slow drinking, how long is too long for a bartender to make a drink?
As complicated as our drinks are at ZZs, I can still bang them out in five minutes. Five is an extremely long time.

I have a doubt about the 101.6% block+avoidance. I tougth the character screen shows values pre-DR, so if you sum your block + miss + dodge + parry is more than you really have.
I'm wrong?
I have a doubt about the 101.6% block+avoidance. I tougth the character screen shows values pre-DR, so if you sum your block + miss + dodge + parry is more than you really have.
I'm wrong?
Follow the Moeko Principle.
Yes and no. The actual values of dodge and parry are after DR. Miss does not have its own slot like the others so the only way to get miss is with a macro. See below
139x.04=5.56%. Where it says at the bottom "before diminish returns" simply means that you do not take 5.56% and add it to your dodge and parry straight up. Once it is added however the actual numbers displayed are indeed after DR. Likewise when you mouse over your dodge and parry, that amount of rating will always give that amount of dodge, that number is then subject to DR and added to your total to get the number you see when you are not mousing over.
Like I said however since this is the only place miss appears it is impossible to know your exact chance to be missed without a macro.
Block does not have DR.
There's a macro I've been using to pull the numbers up, I believe I took it from the forums here at some point so it should be around here somewhere... I'll try to remember to copy/paste it from my macro window when I get home.
Assuming the off-tank is a paladin tank, I'm not sure of the benefit of using an unhittable set, as opposed to a block value set. I have nearly every BV piece available, and I find that at 4700 or so BV, I'm taking virtually no damage, and holy shield rarely gets removed. (only if they pick up the haste from the opposite side's tank) There are attempts where I will take 10k-20k damage while the adds are up. I can gain passive unhittable, but I lose BV and take more damage overall.
the unhittable set is for a 1 add tank strategy, if you're using 2 add tanks, you're already not needing an unhittable set strategy.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
The video is showing the 2 offtank method and recomending that the offtanks maintain passive unhittability.
"Offtanks should strive to reach 101.6 percent combined avoidance and block chance on their character sheet, to ensure the level eighty-two crypt fiends will not inflict unblocked hits. This ensures damage is consistently reduced, rather than risking sudden surges of drastically increased damage."
The result is what Kazeyonoma said: if you run one tank, you'll need a passively unhittable set. If you run two, it's not essential at all. You're still better off ensuring you never take full hits - though you should safely include Holy Shield at that point. Remember: you aren't playing with a full health bar in phase 3, as the lower the healers can let the offtanks slide safely, the better off the damage pace will be. They can only let the tanks sit at a point where the worst-case damage spike won't kill them, and if that's two unblocked attacks plus a leeching swarm tick, you need to sit at >30k health (almost full). If it's two blocked hits for 4k (~2250 BV) and a leeching swarm tick, 15k is relatively safe. Worst-case analysis will drive how you handle healing each offtank in that phase, and thus the boss' regeneration.
That said, I forgot to comment that you probably want to get the tanks to nearly full right as a new wave of adds comes in - it gives the tanks time to position them in case something bites them in the back while slogging through the permafrost.
Just watched the 25-man video. Although the information is basically useless to me since i doubt i'll ever see that fight i'd just thought i'd say how good the video is in terms of content and production.
Very nice splug.
Thanks for the guide btw!

We are using a Paladin on Anub'arak and Warrior on adds for ToGC10. It could be plausible for the end of phase 3 to have all DPS, including the previous interrupter, on Anub'arak for a burn (we're using the 6 dps, 2 tanks, 2 healers strategy). We'd let the Pally Holy Wrath-stun (and interrupt if necessary) the adds, then warrior tank uses shockwave, and pally again if possible. The designated interrupter will still interrupt at the beginning and throughout Phase 3. We'd get Anub to phase 3, then burn the two adds which are already low from incidental AoE. The warrior-pally rotation of relying on stuns starts at the end of Phase 3 when/if the warrior gets 4 adds, at which point the designated interrupter switches to Anub'arak full-time (that's about 15 seconds worth of stuns - 4 for shockwave, and 10 for holy wrath).
Question is if we should save hero for Phase 3 right after we kill the set of adds, or should we pop it around 40% in Phase 1 to ensure we do not get another Phase 2, based on your experience?
Also, from your experience, how low is the first set (how long has it taken you on average to kill) of adds usually when you switch to kill them? I'm thinking everyone switches to the first set of adds in Phase 1 about 5 seconds before 2nd set spawns. When Phase 3 starts, we kill off the set of adds from Phase 1 so the warrior can start fresh with 2 adds, and work his way up to 4 instead of a possible 5 or 6.
Edit: I made a mistake regarding the cooldown for Shockwave so nevermind that. Can still save Holy Wrath followed by Shockwave for an AoE stun if there are 4 adds on the OT, giving you ~14 seconds to uninterrupted DPS time on boss.

Keebzz - Blood Tank | Frost DPS
Something Wicked | US Malfurion
The 25 man hard-mode video is extremely informative, thank you very much tank spot!
I noticed that in the video it was mentioned that the encounter has been completed with a DK off tank. With higher mitigation, avoidance, longer IBF and a decent cooldown (unbreakable armor) in addition to acclimation it seems reasonable to consider a DK as an add tank, at least in the 2-add tank situation.
Is this a viable option at all?
I'm wondering the same thing. We have a lack of deathknights in our roster at the moment, with just 1 who is generally an offtank... meaning that if I want him free to deathgrip down a frost ball, he can't be the main tank, he either needs to be dps or an add tank.
It's also worth mentioning Irae AoD's later logs all occur using shield-based offtanks, and that the clip shown in the video is using my warrior alt, not my deathknight main (which still does not have credit for the encounter). Consolation prize: unholy deathknights are the highest source of AE damage on the encounter by a fairly high margin.
I'm hoping to find a solution to my group's healing problem on p3.
We are attempting to 2 heal it because our DPS is pretty good, we easily get him to p3 before the 4th burrowers spawn.
However we keep dying in p3 with only 2 healers, and with 3 healers it jsut seems to take too long and be too messy with adds.
With 2 healers, how important is it for one to be a paladin? We have an awesome pally healer but were using a disc and druid this time.
Either play to win, or shut up and lose.
so far I've had the pally in my lineup, the ability to big heal and beacon both tanks is pretty amazing. I don't want to say it's a necessity, but pallies make pretty amazing MT healers. if you have the right comp, what you can do is use healing stream totems and vampiric embrace and other small heal effects to make sure players never die to leeching swarm and essentially let everyone except the tanks go to the smallest hp possible, then making sure your healers are very fast at picking up whoever gets hit by penetrating cold.
Also when you say "we keep dying" who's dying. DPS? if so then it's lack of penetrating cold reaction most likely. Tanks? Then doing the above strategy (if viable) will allow your healers to focus on the tanks more. Healers? I dunno what to say about this one lol.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
I'm not sure I'd let the whole raid drift down to auto-heal range on 10-man, especially if you have two healers. Remember you've got a very short window to counter both penetrating colds, so unless your MT healer can drop off the tanks and save the second penetrating cold victim, you need to keep the raid at ~6k-7k health to buy that extra tick for the raid healer to attend to both PC's. It's a bit easier with a paladin, who can take a GCD to holy shock or holy light one of the PC's when a new set is cast (while still beacon healing the MT), allowing the raid healer to catch up later.
If you have three healers, then certainly drift down to the totem/VE autoheal range and split the PC's between the two raid healers.
Yeah it's definately the penetrating cold that was killing us, and I think our healers just weren't reacting well enough.
while I have a few knowledgeable people's attention, I am also curious about the burrower strat for p3 when you 1 burrow / 2 heal it.
We are hitting p3 just when the 4th burrower pair of the fight spawns (getting to 55% or so before the 1st submerge, no bloodlust). Our current strat is to kill those then let the 5th spawn burrow, hoping to kill him before a 6th.
is this realistic or should we kill each wave of burrowers throughout p3.
Either play to win, or shut up and lose.
is there really only 6 Frost sphere during the fight ? O.o

Can the proposed fuel cell vehicles live up the hype?
An analyst at ETC Battery and FuelCells Sweden AB, Kanehira Maruo, has studied electric engines for many years. Fuel cell technology has two problems: the cost and the lack of hydrogen refuelling stations. California has quite a few refuelling stations, so you can drive without worrying about refuelling. Berlin has a few refuelling stations, but refuelling stations in other areas are rare," he said.
Another challenge is the safety of using hydrogen in FCVs. When the car is carefully maintained nothing goes wrong, but maintaining a high safety level is costly," said Vito Siciliano, an engineer at Ansaldo STS. "We do not have enough experience. Research must continue. A small failure may provoke a big disaster."
Magnus Karlström, Analyst at Hydrogen Sweden, is aware of the risks but thinks hydrogen reaches an acceptable safety level in society. There are other types of risks with gasoline and diesel and hydrogen is possible to handle as well. Hydrogen is odourless and colourless, so leaks are very hard for motorists to detect. It is easy, however, to detect a leak with sensors that will shut down the system. Hydrogen is also flammable, but it rarely is the cause of an automobile fire. Gasoline vapours are heavier than air and remain suspended near the engine and can ignite very quickly. Hydrogen gas, on the other hand, is lighter and disperses into the air very quickly. Hydrogen often passes different safety tests so I think it will maintain an acceptable safety level.
In addition to improving FCVs the vehicle industry is improving battery-powered cars as well. Lithium battery life limits driving to only 150-250 kilometres on a single charge. Recharging a lithium battery vehicle takes much more time than refuelling the tank with hydrogen, making it a car for short-distance travels. However, researchers in the ALISTORE (Advanced Lithium Energy Storage Systems) project have constructed a battery that can be charged as quickly as refuelling the tank with hydrogen. This is a breakthrough that could revolutionize vehicle travel. Although the battery could revolutionize travel, a distribution system is not available for battery-powered cars, and safety issues remain.
To call the FCV or the battery-powered car eco-friendly depends in part on the energy source. Fossil fuels and renewal energy, such as wind, are energy sources for both electricity and hydrogen. At the moment it is cheaper to make hydrogen from fossil fuels but that may change. Companies such as Vattenfall and SunHydro want to provide more renewable energy to fuel vehicles.
Neither of these technologies offers a quick fix. Making them viable alternatives depends on many factors. Few believe FCVs or battery-powered cars will be the sole alternatives when companies are developing more efficient combustion engines and hybrid vehicles on the road to a greener society.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Construction site is fueling a heated debate. It's the first step toward a state of the art gas station going up in Cape Coral.
Workers broke ground on a RaceTrac located at the intersection of Del Prado Boulevard south and SouthEast 26th Street near the Midpoint Bridge.
The company says the station will be spectacular but people living near it aren't so sure.
Patricia Schleig has lived on Everest Parkway for years and she's upset to see that a bigger than ever RaceTrac station is coming to life in her community's backyard.
"It will be 24/7. That's a big burden on a neighborhood," she said. She, and others, asked for the project to stop. They're afraid it will cause congestion on a road already shared by the city's public workers and more than a thousand homeowners. "I just cant imagine what that intersection is going to look like," she said.
The prototype RaceTrac will be a 6,000 square foot convenience store. That's one-thousand larger than the previous models. It will have 20 gas pumps, and comes complete with a frozen yogurt shop.
"There's stacked stone, there's natural light, there's bright colors, more than 4000 retail items inside the store," explained Sherri Scott, a spokeswomen for RaceTrac.
Edward Murawski lives right across the street-and welcomes the new store. "We're so close to the midpoint bridge, a major commuter center, we need an extra gas station in this area," he said.
The Everest Homeowner's Association tells WINK News in a statement:
The Everest Homeowners' Association found no one opposed to the RaceTrac station on Del Prado and SE 26th St. There were mixed feelings about the gas station, but recognizing RaceTrac's attractive landscaping at their new station on North Del Prado, it was decided to accept them as our new neighbor.
Our only concern was traffic at 3:30 when the city employees go home, and create a block long backup.
"It doesn't make me happy that it's happening but I feel that we did what we could, and at this point we were kind of overruled." said Schleig
This is a five month project. Construction should wrap up in December.
