Originally Posted by MilleniaHello and welcome to the TankSpot Heart of Fear raid guide. My name is Millennía and today I am going to take you through the Blade Lord Ta'yak encounter on 10 man normal.
This is a 2 phase encounter that requires 2 tanks, 2-3 healers and 5-6 DPS. The boss has 150.4 million health with an enrage timer of approximately 8 minutes. This is an execution based encounter with a small DPS check because of the bosses stacking damage and haste buff which he gains every 60 seconds.
This buff is called Intensify and it increases Ta'yaks damage and haste by 5% per stack and like I said, he gains 1 stack every 60 seconds so you want to push him to phase 2, which occurs and 20%, as quickly as possible which is why we opted for a 2 healer and 6 dps set up.
Before you pull you want to take positions on the right or left side of the room and spread out. There are 2 reasons for this. One is because of the ability Wind Step. With Wind Step, the Blade Lord will teleport to a random player and apply a bleed effect to them and any other player within 10 yards that ticks for a moderate amount of damage every 3 seconds for 30 seconds.
The other reason you want to be spread out on one side of the room is because of Tempest Slash. The boss will slash the air and send a tornado out to the position of a random player at range which will rotate on the spot and deal damage to anyone hit by it and knocks them back.
Unseen Strike is one of the key abilities in this encounter. The boss will mark a person and disappear. After 5 seconds he strikes that person doing a massive amount of damage and knocking them back. The damage is shared with everyone that gets hit so you will need to group up when he marks a player and share the damage together to minimise the individual damage of the attack. If you use boss timers such as Deadly Boss Mods then you can group up when Unseen Strike has 5 seconds on the timer so when the boss marks a person, you are already stacked and ready.
This picture depicts how our raid handled the space in the room. We only had 5 Unseen Strikes so our raid started off on the right side of the room with the tanks and melee on the Green marker and the ranged and healers spread 10 yards apart at the light Blue area.
After 2 Unseen Strikes we moved to the middle of the room and placed the boss on the Red area of the map with ranged and healers spread out around the middle which is depicted by the Pink circle.
After another 2 Unseen Strikes here we moved to the left side of the room and placed the boss on the dark Blue marker with the range and healers spread out around the Brown area.
On the left side we get just 1 Unseen Strike here before the boss transitions into phase 2. It is worth mentioning that you can remain in the left side of the room for 2 Unseen Strikes if necessary but only one is preferred before the transition into phase 2.
The reason you need 2 tanks is because of Overwhelming Assault. This is an ability used on the tank that deals damage and increases their damage taken by Overwhelming Assault by 50% and this stacks. Our tanks swapped at 2 stacks of Overwhelming Assault but a cooldown was needed to reduce the large damage spike of the second hit.
At 20% the boss will move to the middle of the room and drag the raid into him and carry everyone to the right side of the room in tornadoes. You can not do anything until the tornadoes drop you off and at this point I recommend that you use healing cooldowns and healthstones to get everyone topped off as best as possible.
At this point the boss is on the other side of the room and he will be constantly sending tornadoes down 3 different lanes in the centre of the room so you need to run up to him while dodging the tornadoes. If you get hit by a tornado then you will get picked up and taken back some distance before being dropped off.
The raid will be taking damage every second during this phase so you need to get to the boss and stack up behind him for AoE healing.
After some time the boss will move to the other side of the room and you will have to go through the process of dodging tornadoes to get to him again.
It is important to note that you can't avoid the action of tornado dodging because if you move in to the wind blowing on either side of you then you will get pushed back until you move out of it again.
This is a very difficult healing phase because there is so much movement involved so raid cooldowns are essential as well as any individual defensive cooldowns that are available. Some of my recommendations include having a druid spec Heart of the Wild and using Tranquility when they reach the boss to help top people off, Holy Paladins can spec Holy Avenger and try to store 5 Holy Power to use after being dropped off by tornadoes to quickly heal people. On that note, Holy Paladins with the Darkmoon healing trinket should not use Light of Dawn in this phase if their trinket procs because the spell effect will prevent people from seeing incoming tornadoes.
We personally used Bloodlust after the first Unseen Strike so we could burn as much health of the boss as possible to minimise time in phase one which in turn minimises the amount of Intensify stacks the boss gets before phase 2. Your team can use Bloodlust or Heroism when it suits you best but this is what we found to work best for us.

KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Millions of dollars will be going to improvement projects at schools across Kanawha County.
The Kanawha County Board of Education approved the $238M budget for next year.
Board members allocated $21M for school renovation projects, and another $46M was put aside for nutrition and special education programs.
School officials say they are concerned about federal funding cuts that could be coming in the near future.
"We will continue to do our best to stretch those dollars. We'll work within the money we have. Although I can say, if continued cuts come, um, at that level, along with some inflationary costs in some other issues, it could um, it could hurt the budget tremendously," said Kanawha County Superintendent Dr. Ron Duerring.
The budget year starts on July 1.

Brooklyn-based indie-rock upstarts Dirty on Purpose come loaded with all sorts of swoony strings (kind of like the Arcade Fire) and vocal tics (à la Clap Your Hands Say Yeah). Less down and dirty than precious and pretty, the band's tunes mostly coast on spiky guitar lines, plunked-piano melodies, and pinched, plaintive voices as found amid the polished assortment of Hallelujah Sirens, its latest release. Dirty on Purpose's penchant for stroking electric guitar strings with violin bows (used sparingly but effectively) has earned it comparisons to Sigur Rós, but this band is much more straightforward and terrestrial than the ethereal Icelanders. Instead, Dirty on Purpose sounds as if it springs from the venerable East Coast brain trust that birthed the Talking Heads and Television. So Hallelujah Sirens' songs are always tight and buttoned-down, a bit intellectual, but probably ready to party on the weekends. Or maybe at this Thursday-night bash celebrating the eighth birthday of thehoneycomb.com, the WPB website/way of life captained by Steve Rullman (who reckons Hallelujah Sirens was the best record of 2006).
Dirty on Purpose performs with Zombies! Organize!! and El on Thursday, March 8, at Respectable Street, 518 Clematis St., West Palm Beach. Doors open at 9 p.m. Visit www.thehoneycomb.com, or call 561-832-9999.

Environment and Social Panel of Experts (POE). International Advisory Group (IAG)
The Nam Theun 2 (NT2) hydroelectric power project was under consideration by the Lao government and various developers since the late 1980s. If properly implemented, the project will generate electricity mainly for export to Thailand, and project revenues will be used by the Government of Lao PDR to finance for poverty reduction and environmental protection activities. The project thus has the potential—if properly prepared, implemented and managed—to significantly benefit the Lao people.
That said, it is a large and complex project and entails considerable risks, including environmental and social ones. NT2 triggers all of the safeguard policies of the World Bank and the ADB, which are designed to prevent and mitigate undue harm to people and their environment in the development process. The safeguard policies have often provided a platform for the participation of stakeholders in project design, and have been instrumental in building ownership among local populations.
To provide independent assessments on the project throughout the project preparation and due diligence cycle, the services of international experts in dams, environment, and social protection have been engaged. The World Bank has engaged the International Advisory Group (IAG) and the Government of Lao PDR has engaged the Environment and Social Panel of Experts (POE). Their reports and assessments are shared between the Government and the World Bank, and with members of the public.

"Rabbit Hole" is a film about a couple who have recently lost a child in a tragic accident and are trying to figure out how to go on living. I'm not sure who the target audience is for this film. If you've just lost a child, I can't imagine wanting to watch someone else go through what you've been through. And if you haven't, well, what's the appeal of watching people suffer quietly for two hours? Who picks this up at the video store and says, "hey, this looks like a fun way to spend our Friday evening?"
I'll tell you who: fans of Nicole Kidman. And if you're reading this review because you're a Kidman fan, I'll tell you right now, other reviewers will be more sympathetic. Because the further into "Rabbit Hole" I got, the more I realized that I'm really not a Nicole Kidman fan. It's true that she is beautiful and elegant, and that there is something aristocratic about her. But she is so cold and emotionally closed off, I have an impossible time trying to relate to her on the screen, to sympathize with her and care about her. Sometimes she can use this coldness to her advantage as an actress. She was great in "The Others" as a ghost. And as much as I love Tilda Swinton, I really wish she would've played the White Witch in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." It would've been the perfect role for her. But her emotional distance has ruined movies as well: "Margot at the Wedding," for instance, or "The Stepford Wives," where she seemed just as robotic as the robots. And she is my least favorite part of two movies I love: "Cold Mountain" and "Moulin Rouge." Both are great movies; both would've been better with somebody warmer in the lead role.

Balloons trigger latex allergy
People's Pharmacy on latex allergy; the connection between diuretics and diabetes; and a potential cause for cracked hands and fingertips.
Syndicated columnists
Q: Can you help me with a medical mystery? I believe I am allergic to latex. I had a reaction when latex balloons were carried by my desk, and I ended up in the emergency room.
My primary-care doctor thinks I have classic symptoms of an allergy to latex. Dermatologists and allergy specialists I have consulted seem hesitant to confirm this diagnosis, however. Apparently, the Food and Drug Administration has not approved a latex skin test. Blood tests frequently give false-negative results.
Where can I go to get the documentation that is being required by my employer? I work in public health, where I am exposed to latex daily.
A: Latex is derived from rubber trees and contains proteins that can be sensitizing. Certain people, especially those who have had frequent occupational exposure to latex, may develop symptoms such as rash, sneezing, itchy eyes or even hives, difficulty breathing and dangerously low blood pressure.
Sadly, there is no completely reliable test for latex allergy, though a symptom questionnaire can be a valuable diagnostic tool (Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, February and November 2012). Exposure to latex during sex (condoms), dental procedures or surgery could trigger a dangerous reaction.
Q: I read a question in your column from a reader who developed diabetes after taking a water pill for high blood pressure. I think it was furosemide. He wondered if there was a connection between the drug and the onset of diabetes.
Last year, I was prescribed the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) for mildly elevated blood pressure. Within three months, I tested positive for diabetes.
What can you tell me about a connection between diuretics and diabetes?
A: Elevated blood sugar is a rarely mentioned side effect of many medications, including diuretics like furosemide and HCTZ, statin-type cholesterol-lowering drugs and steroids such as prednisone. A different approach to blood-pressure control might solve your problem.
Q: I had cracked hands and fingertips for several years and found nothing that helped. Then I got rid of all antibacterial soaps. My hands cleared up immediately, and I have had no trouble since.
A: The antibacterial ingredient in most soaps, toothpastes and dish detergents is triclosan. There are some concerns about this compound, which disrupts thyroid hormones in some animals (Toxicological Sciences, January 2009).
According to its website, the "FDA does not have evidence that triclosan added to antibacterial soaps and body washes provides extra health benefits over soap and water."

Poking and Prodding The PackersPosted by on October 19, 2011 – 6:06 am
We typically dedicate the first blog entry every Wednesday morning to a general introduction of the Vikings upcoming opponent. This Sunday, the Vikings return to the friendly confines of Mall of America Field and they'll play a team that needs little introduction: the Green Bay Packers.
They're the defending Super Bowl champions, they're undefeated and they're widely considered the best team in the NFL. Sunday will present the Vikings with a stiff challenge.
We all know how the Packers make their money – an explosive passing offense and a playmaking defense. There aren't many QBs playing better than Aaron Rodgers right now and there aren't many LBs making more plays than Clay Matthews right now.
On Offense
Rodgers is the NFL's highest rated passer (122.5) largely because he leads the NFL in TD passes (17) and completion percentage (69.9%). No, that's not a typo. Rodgers is completing a ridiculous 69.9% of his passes. The Packers have the 3rd-ranked passing offense, they're averaging a League-best 9.7 yards per passing attempt and they have more touchdown passes of 20+ yards (8) than any other team.
The WR corps is one of the NFL's best and deepest, with Greg Jennings leading the way. Jennings has 35 receptions on the season, which is 12 more than the next guy, TE Jermichael Finley. Jordy Nelson (20) and James Jones (15) are next in receptions, with James Starks (15) and Donald Driver (12) also contributors. It's not so much that any one of these receivers are game-changers, it's more about Rodgers' ability to get the right guy the ball at the right time. This is a dangerous, deep group.
As good as Green Bay is at passing the ball, they surprisingly aren't prone to neglecting the run. They have the NFL's 14th ranked rushing attack and they have the 12th most rushing attempts. No, those numbers aren't great, but they're good enough to keep defenses honest. Green Bay features a two-headed attack at RB, with Ryan Grant and James Starks sharing the load. Grant is the steady veteran, and Starks is the guy who tends to be more explosive.
Green Bay's offensive line is not loaded with All-Pros or Pro Bowlers, but they're gritty enough to get the job done. The Vikings defense had its way with the Packers offensive line in 2008 and 2009, sacking Rodgers a total of 18 times in 8 games, including an incredible 14 times in two '09 contests. It's a different story now, though. This group has been bothered by injuries constantly, yet they tough it out and protect Rodgers enough to allow him to shred opposing secondaries. Chad Clifton is the usual starting LT, but he has a hamstring injury and won't play. Derek Sherrod will take his place, and will join LG T.J. Lang, C Scott Wells, RG Josh Sitton and RT Bryan Bulaga in the starting lineup. [UPDATE: As a reader has pointed out, it was Marshall Newhouse who replaced Clifton last week at LT, not Sherrod. But on their website, the Packers have Sherrod listed as the backup at LT, with Newhouse listed as the backup at RG and RT.] The three interior linemen are experienced, so the spotlight in this week's contest will be on Sherrod and Bulaga, who will go against the NFL's most productive DE tandem in Jared Allen and Brian Robison (14.0 sacks between them). The Packers chose these two OTs in back-to-back seasons, and right now they're finding out if they were worth the investment.
On Defense
If there's a vulnerability on Green Bay's team it might be defensively, where they rank 23rd overall (allowing 383.7 yards per game) and 31st against the pass (299.7). The problem is, Green Bay is pretty good against the run (rank 5th and allow just 84.0 yards per game), which makes it hard to maintain possession. And even when you can maintain possession against them, eventually they're going to force a mistake. The Packers are +7 in turnover margin and are tied for the 2nd most takeaways with 14 and the 2nd most INTs with 11.
From a personnel standpoint, Matthews is the brightest star. He plays outside LB in Green Bay's 3-4 scheme, lining up primarily on offense's right side and rushing the passer on most snaps. Other prominent playmakers on this defense are DT B.J. Raji, who plays over the nose, and ball-hawking CBs Tramon Williams and Charles Woodson, who are enemy No. 1 and No. 2 for opposing QBs. Also, don't sleep on active left DE Ryan Pickett and inside LB Desmond Bishop, who is tied for 3rd in NFL with 57 tackles and has 3.0 sacks. One remarkable aspect of the Packers defense is that they rank 10th with 15 sacks, but no one player has more than Bishop's 3.0.
The Vikings offense vs. the Packers defense will be a strength vs. strength matchup, as the Vikings rank 3rd in rushing yards per game (142.2) and Green Bay ranks 6th in rushing defense. And while Green Bay's defense struggles against the pass when they're not taking the ball away, the Vikings offense struggles to move the ball through the air.
A couple of final stats that could be important in this Sunday's game:
– The Vikings offense has struggled on 3rd downs this season, but this week is a good week to get it going on 3rd down because the Packers rank 20th in 3rd down defense and are allowing a 40.5% conversion rate.
– Green Bay has the NFL's 7th ranked scoring defense, allowing 19.0 points per game.
– Green Bay's defense ranks 10th with an opposing passer rating of 81.8.
– The Packers are tied for 4th in red zone defense.

Instead of a new stadium, maybe we should start with a new website. It is wed. and you still have injury report from last week up, not to mention the fact that the russians know ponder is going to start, but try to find it here. IMPOSSIBLE!

hopefully we can take advantage of packers low ranked defense……….although our D has surely slipped a few places, and our O LINE is awful……..hope Ponder doesn't get killed, but it is time for him to earn his stripes

as I recall from 2008 and 2009, when we were who we thought we were, we did pressure Rodgers……he is one of the best in the league at escaping pressure and making plays……..but I agree-no pressure =long day for Vikes.

This Packer team reminds me of the '98 Vikings!! Tons of offense but the defense is a little soft!! Just out score your opponent, mentality!! That year the only regular season lose was to the Bucs, 27-24!! Let's be the Bucs' and shock everyone by taking down the Pack!! Let's get The Kid off to a great start in his career!! Offensive line must have the game of there lives!! Defense has to be blitz happy by going after Rodgers and sacking him at least 5 times!!

Clay Matthews is going through that OL like a knife through hot butter. Ponder will be good, but only if Charlie Johnson PROTECTS HIS BLIND SPOT.

When is Ponder getting the nod to start going to be taken notice on the vikings.com blog? every other site reports it yesterday afternoon.. as the great Billy Mays once said.. "GET ON THE BALL!"

whooo hoooo goo ponder, im so excited to watch his sharp abilities against the pass rushing packers defense, he can move so if our line is doing better and he is alert, we wiill have a very minimal amount of sacks on sunday. Oh, and we should prooobably think about catching the ball a little more on our opening drive, that would help! Skol Vikes!

PACKERS!! Sc*ew the Packers, I don't care if they are 6-0, they really haven't played a good team as of yet with the Saints being the best team they played so far, wait until they play the Chargers, or Buccs or the Lions. for being the defending champions their schedule is about as cheesy as you can get. The teams the Packers have played already won about 34% of their games while the teams the Vikings played won about 62% of their games, POOH on the Packers.

Outside of the NFC North, Greenbay has an incredibly soft schedule considering they won the SB.

Pleased that Ponder's getting the nod ahead of Mcnabb. Ponder is able to elude pressure and make plays with his feet, something Donovan can no longer do. This Viking team should be much more competitive now.

I always knew the Packers sucked, we just suck more so I really can't say much about the Pack and not sound like a hypocrite, but I always thought the Packers sucked, they sucked when they won the Super Bowl, they sucked even when they sucked.
By DuaneN on Oct 19, 2011 | Reply
Packers are almost always ahead, of course their D rushing stats will be good and passing stats will be bad.
I agree that Rodgers is the best right now. He is just awesome in and out of the pocket. Been waiting my whole life for a QB to play like him. Too bad the cheeseheads have him.
