A Revolutionary President
FDR: The First Hundred Days
The Defining Moment: FDR's Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope
Nothing to Fear: FDR's Inner Circle and the Hundred Days That Created Modern America
Traitor to His Class: The Privileged Life and Radical Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Few expected very much of Franklin Roosevelt on Inauguration Day in 1933. Like Barack Obama seventy-six years later, he was succeeding a failed Republican president, and Americans had voted for change. What that change might be Roosevelt never clearly said, probably because he himself didn't know.
Herbert Hoover, the departing president, had left behind an economic cataclysm. Since the 1929 stock market crash the economy had been spiraling inexorably downward for more than three years. The country had always experienced episodic "panics" and "recessions," but nothing this bad. As Anthony J. Badger writes in FDR: The First Hundred Days, "Americans had never been there before."
Roosevelt's declaration that Americans had "nothing to fear but fear itself" was a glorious piece of inspirational rhetoric and just as gloriously wrong. Banks across the country had been failing for months and thousands more were on the brink as he took the presidential oath. Unemployment stood officially at 25 percent but was actually closer, Badger estimates, to 33 percent. "Farmers had been crushed by catastrophic price falls, drought, and debt. A thousand homeowners a day were losing their homes."
Hoover, a rigid conservative intellectual, refused to abandon the old-time religion of market capitalism and was still waiting for the business cycle to work its magic. One of the inescapable sounds of the era was of Americans everywhere sardonically telling each other, "Prosperity is just around the corner." It was the message of Hoover's reelection campaign, and he had lost all but six of the forty-eight states.
To cope with the economic catastrophe, Americans had elected a man whom many of the finest minds of his generation considered an intellectually second-rate, rich mama's boy, whose obvious charm obscured a deep shallowness.
In The Defining Moment, Jonathan Alter describes the young Roosevelt's futile efforts to win the admiration of influential journalists, trying, for example, to charm Walter Lippmann, "the most prestigious syndicated columnist of that or any other era," only to find himself dismissed in a Lippmann column as "a pleasant man who, without any important qualifications for the office, would very much like to be president." In private correspondence Lippmann was even crueler: "a kind of amiable boy scout," he wrote to a friend.
H.L. Mencken, after pronouncing Roosevelt "one of the most charming of men," wrote that, like most such men, he left the impression of being "somewhat shallow and futile." Other important journalists—Herbert Bayard Swope, Frank Kent, Arthur Krock—seemed to agree. Even more remarkably, after his election some of these very critics were saying he should be given dictatorial powers. Such was the sense of panic about the Great Depression as he took office.
"The nation expected Roosevelt to claim the powers of a dictator, or close to it," Adam Cohen states in Nothing to Fear. He quotes Senator William Borah, the highly respected progressive Republican from Idaho, declaring himself ready to put politics aside and "give our incoming President dictatorial power within the Constitution for a certain period."
"If this country ever needed a Mussolini, it needs one now," said Senator David Reed, a Pennsylvania Republican. Even Lippmann, having dismissed candidate Roosevelt just a few months earlier, wrote that the use of "'dictatorial powers,' if that is the name for it—is essential.'"
Roosevelt addressed the dictatorship question in his Inaugural Address, saying he intended to work with Congress on the nation's problems and hoped the president's traditional powers would suffice to help solve them. If not, he would ask for a "temporary departure," asking for "broad Executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe."
As Cohen observes, this was "the most radical" passage in the Inaugural, "with its understated suggestion of autocracy." He notes that "it received an enthusiastic response from the crowd." Adolf Hitler had become chancellor of Germany just over one month earlier; Benito Mussolini, as Italy's prime ministerial dictator since 1922, was fairly popular in the United States. In the astonishing tumult of legislation that immediately followed Roosevelt's inauguration, Congress proved so eager to vote immediately for anything he wanted that he seemed to have been granted dictatorial power without asking for it.
The early commentators who put down the pre-presidential Roosevelt as an empty-headed young lightweight, all ambition and no talent, now seem comically wrong to a modern book-reading, movie-going, television-watching, legend-loving American public conditioned to think of him as one of the presidential giants on the order of Washington and Lincoln.
The appearance of these three—three!—fresh histories of Roosevelt's first hundred days in the White House testifies to the large space he occupies in America's political psyche, for as good as the books of Messrs. Alter, Badger, and Cohen seem to be, there is little in them that has not been long since recorded by earlier historians, memoirists, journalists, gossips, publicity agents, and politicians with grievances to be settled.
Besides three treatments of the Hundred Days there is a new full-length (888 pages) biography, Traitor to His Class, starting with FDR's Delano grandfather, who got rich in the China trade (opium inevitably included), and ending with FDR's death in Warm Springs in the embarrassing company of Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd, for whose love he might once have divorced Eleanor had he not loved politics more.
Its author, Professor H.W. Brands, writes with an ease not common among academic historians, and he is not above rewarding the reader with fragments of irrelevant but salacious old Washington scandals. Discussing Franklin's youthful philandering, he throws in some history of early-twentieth-century adultery in Washington, not omitting the story of Alice Roosevelt, Teddy's daughter, discovering her husband— House Speaker Nicholas Longworth, no less!—and her good friend Cissy Patterson "coupled on the floor of her bathroom."
Vast as the Roosevelt literature is, biography nowadays must also compete with theater, movies, television plays, documentaries, and "docudramas," though not yet an opera. From these sources millions have become familiar with FDR's heroic comeback from the polio that left his legs forever useless and seemed to end his hopes for a political career. Who knows how many millions have been moved to tears by actors dramatizing his determination not to have his life defined by a wheelchair?
Most Americans also know about Eleanor's emotional devastation upon discovering his affair with Lucy Mercer ("the bottom dropped out of my own particular world") and know that this ended physical intimacy in their marriage, and that Eleanor nevertheless helped nurse him through the battle with polio and became an important figure herself in American public life.
Brands revisits all the familiar material with a storyteller's touch, making Traitor to His Class a good beginner's book for readers seeking a fuller sense of FDR's life and times than the entertainment media can provide. He also conveys a sense of the Roosevelt political genius at work.
What so many observers failed to grasp before 1933 was that Roosevelt, with all his inadequacies, was a great politician, and to be a great politician is no small thing. The art of it has fascinated Shakespeare and many a philosopher—Aristotle, Plato, and Machiavelli among them. Roosevelt seems to have been born with that unique political gene that empowers otherwise ordinary men of no special intellect to shape and command events. If Americans were slow to see it in Roosevelt, perhaps it was because tradition accustomed them to look down on those they called, usually with a sneer, "politicians." Or perhaps the political genius was merely dormant potential until the ordeal with polio brought it into full flower.
The "charm" that so many noticed in the young Roosevelt was often thought to be cover for an empty head. "He's really a beautiful looking man, but he's so dumb," said the mother of his financier friend James Warburg, watching him in Washington as assistant secretary of the Navy during World War I.
Professor Badger's thumbnail summary of his early career suggests why Washington in those days found him easy to dismiss: the adored only child of parents with old New York money, he was schooled at Groton and Harvard, studied law at Columbia, and after "little more than a desultory attempt to earn a living as a lawyer and in business" went into politics with the idea of someday becoming president.
Grenville Clark, who knew him as a young lawyer, remembered him in 1907, only twenty-five years old, talking about becoming president. Clark, who became a distinguished Wall Street lawyer, recalled his "saying with engaging frankness that he wasn't going to practice law forever…. He wanted to be and thought he had a very real chance to be president." Quoting Clark, Brands writes:
"I remember that he described very accurately the steps which he thought could lead to this goal," Clark continued. "They were: first, a seat in the State Assembly, then an appointment as Assistant Secretary of the Navy…and finally the governorship of New York. 'Anyone who is governor of New York has a good chance to be President with any luck' are about his words that stick in my memory."
Theodore Roosevelt's example must have made the presidency seem a not implausible goal for young Franklin. Though his own family link to TR was somewhat remote, his marriage to Teddy's niece Eleanor—the only daughter of Teddy's deceased brother Elliot—brought him into the White House family circle, close enough perhaps to have thought of TR as "Uncle Ted." On the day he and Eleanor were married, the presidential Roosevelt had overshadowed bride and groom by turning up to give the bride away, then becoming the life of the reception party. "Well, Franklin, there's nothing like keeping the name in the family," Teddy told his new nephew. Franklin, we now know, was soon thinking of also keeping the presidency in the family.
He was adapting public-speaking technique to the modern audience for whom the microphone provided a more intimate experience than the old political barn-burner oratory did. By the time he became president he could address an audience of millions as "my friends" and leave each listener with the sense of hearing a personal message from an old acquaintance. His masterful command of radio—so new that Al Smith still called it "the raddio"—made his "fireside chats" a vital instrument for shaping public opinion. As early as 1928, Brands writes, he was telling fellow Democrats that radio would supplant the press as the primary means of connecting candidates to voters:
Today at least half of the voters, sitting at their own fireside, listen to the actual words of the political leaders on both sides and make their decision based on what they hear rather than what they read. I think it is almost safe to say that in reaching their decision as to which party they will support, what is heard over the radio decides as many people as what is printed in the newspapers.

Illustration by H. Douglas Pratt
The purple martin is the largest swallow in North America. Males are all dark, glossy blue-black; females and immatures duller above and grayish below. The purple martin is an extremely popular and well-known bird due to its willingness to nest in structures provided by humans. Polytypic. Length 7.5" (19 cm).
Identification Adult male: all glossy blue-black above and below, wings and tail dusky black, distinctly notched tail. In hand, small concealed white tuft on sides of rump and sides of body are visible. Adult female: duller above than male, with more scattered patches of blue-black above. Grayish collar on hind neck. Throat, breast, and flanks dusky brown, paler on center of belly. Undertail coverts grayish with dusky centers. Immature: similar to adult female; young males show some blue-black on head and underparts, dark shaft streaks on ventral feathers, and sometimes a less distinct collar on hind neck; females, paler below and browner above, and lack dusky centers on undertail coverts. Flight: somewhat starlinglike shape. Graceful, liquid wingbeats interspersed with gliding and soaring.
Geographic Variation Females of western (arboricola) and desert (hesperia) subspecies with whiter underparts and forehead. Immature males tend to look more like females of eastern subspecies (subis).
Similar Species Very similar to, sometimes indistinguishable from, other martins except the brown-chested. Female purple martin is the only species with contrasting gray collar on hind neck and pale forehead. Mottled undertail coverts.
Voice Call: most frequently gives a chur call in many situations. When alarmed or excited, gives a zwrack or zweet call. Song: usually a series of chortles, gurgles, and slightly harsher croaking phrases. Also gives a churring, chortling "dawn song" around potential nest sites upon arriving on the breeding grounds in early spring.
Status and Distribution Fairly common but a local and declining summer resident. Breeding: in the East, colonially almost exclusively in artificial sites near human habitations. In the West, frequently solitarily, more often in natural cavities in forested areas, and in saguaro cactus in desert Southwest. Nest: in cavity excavated by another species, or in artificial structures; 3–6 eggs (late March–late May). Migration: in spring, arrives as early as mid-Jan. in Texas, Florida, and Gulf Coast; early March in Virginia and Kansas, mid-April in southern Canada, May in Arizona, early May in Montana. During fall, in the East, very large aggregations of thousands of birds form locally in late summer. Passage peaks late July–September, beginning as early as late May, with stragglers until early October. In Southwest, scarce August–late September. Winter: South American lowlands east of the Andes south to northern Argentina (rarely) and southern Brazil. Vagrant: accidental in Bermuda and United Kingdom.
Population Causes of long-term declines unknown. Competes for nest cavities with the introduced European starling and house sparrow. In the West, logging has reduced availability of natural nest cavities. Increased availability of human-provided nest sites has had a positive effect on populations. Sharp declines in southern California.

well what i mean is if you don´t have stormdrake available
...Then he doesn't do the shadow nova.
RNGesus - Saving you unreliably since BC.
We had the Nether Scion and Slate Dragons on our kill. In theory if your healers are really good, you can down one dragon and leave the other up. We killed the Nether Scion and hit Bloodlust right off the hop, the stun effect from the Slate Dragon makes it healing intensive but it can be done, heck we had people below hit cap and just narrowly beat enrage.
We had Slate, Nether and Whelps. We took 3 tanks, 3 healers and 4 dps.
This really helps at the start when the damage was just too high for healers to heal through if we released only Slate or Nether or both at once. We released both Slate and Nether at the start and killed Slate first then Nether then released whelps and killed Halfus. Another tank traded with the person tanking Halfus whenever they got about 5 stacks, and the 3rd tank picked up the whelps at the end.
You can't really fail this way, individually tanking everything works wonderfully. Another tip for the very start of the fight is to taunt Halfus and run to back wall while the dragons are released to avoid those first hard hits.
Group was: prot warrior, prot pally, druid tank, shammy healer, druid healer, pally healer, ele shammy, 2 warlocks, dk all with at least 340 ilevel.
We had slate, nether, and whelps as well.
We opened and downed nether, then opened and downed the whelp cage. Then we opened and downed slate, then took the fight to halfus; timewarped at 50%.

Our guild's first successful kill was with a 10 man.
Our drakes were the Slate Drake, Nether Scion and the whelps. Our set up was 2 tanks, 3 healers, 5 DPS.
We just ignored the Slate Drake. We released the Nether Scion right away and popped Heroism. One the healing debuff was to high, our tanks switched targets between Halfus and the Nether Scion (taunted off each other). We then released the whelps and did the same thing as we burned them down.
After the whelps were down we left the Slate Drake in his cage and finished off the Halfus. Our tanks would just taunt off each other every 30 seconds.
We came in just under the enrage timer.
Downed on 10m tonight, ~3 hours, 12 or so attempts. We had Nether and Slate.
Raid makup:
Prot Pal
Prot War (Me)
Resto Shm
Resto Dru
Holy Pri
Lock (not sure spec)
Ele Shm
Arms War
DK (not sure spec)
Mut Rot
What ended up working, was we would pull one drake, I would tank Halfus to 12/13 stacks of MS, then switch. Pally bubbles DO remove the stacks. However, it worked better on the Pal only, because after switching, I'd be about ready to open the whelps. At low-mid teens of the MS stack, we had it timed well so I'd get whelps, first drake was dead, second incoming, pal would bubble off his current stacks and go from there. By the time the whelps were down, the 2nd drake was dead, and I would be taunting Hal back to me.
Repeat taunt swaps until dead.
The few key points though, to having Nether and Slate...
1) Don't tank both drakes. The healing debuff, tank switch, and Hal melee haste are just too much raw damage. In a few weeks, or months, sure, but not now.
2) Tank apart, so the tanks aren't also getting fireballed. The switches aren't often once you hunker down on the cooldowns.
3) Cooldowns. Don't use early. I had two unlinked trinkets to use and (glyphed to 40%) shield wall to use. Around 7/8 stacks, I would start rolling all of my CDs. Shield Block was very, very useful here (~45% block unbuffed). Using 3 or 4 CDs, I could extend the 7/8 stack out to 12-13 (14+ was nearly 90% healing debuff, and the healers said they had to spend way too much time healing me through the AE). Hal did feel to apply the MS debuff stacks slower once the first drake was downed, but that's totally anecdotal at this point. I haven't looked at my logs yet.
With those two drakes up, your cooldowns are MUCH more useful the more stacks of the MS debuff you have.
Once the second drake was down, the fight was just about stroking the dps meters.
Our main issue was the healing, and after the 5th or 6th try, something clicked and we we made huge progress. Tanking was simply managing the timing of switches, and positioning so the tanks intercepted whelps first when uncaged. Nether and Slate require a ton of healing.

Just because we didn't have a decent listing of the dragons + abilities on here yet.
All Dragons and the whelps:
Releasing a dragon or the whelp cage applies a stack of Dragon's Vengeance to Halfus, increasing his damage taken by 50%.
Nether Scion:
Having this dragon present activates Halfus's Frenzied Assault, which increases his attack speed by 100% (120% on heroic?).
When the Nether Scion is released: It applies Nether Blindness to Halfus, reducing his chance to hit, attack speed, and damage done by 25%.
Orphaned Emerald Whelps:
Having the whelps present activates the Proto-Behemoths Superheated Breath ability, which allows him to cast Scorching Breath. This is a raid wide aoe that must simply be healed through.
When the whelps are released: Each whelp applies a stack of Atrophic Poison to the Proto-Behemoth, reducing the amount of damage its scorching breath does (Possibly it's fireball barrage also).
Slate Dragon:
Having this dragon present activates Halfus's Malevolent Strikes, which is a stacking healing debuff applied on each successful melee swing. This requires a tank swap.
When the Slate Dragon is released: It applies Stone Touch to Halfus, stunning him for 12 seconds every 35? seconds.
Storm Rider:
Having this dragon present empowers Halfus to cast Shadow Nova. If this dragon isn't one of the dragons you have to fight, you don't have to worry about interrupts. However, if you it is one of the dragons you fight, then it should be the first dragon you release.
When the Storm Rider is released: It applies Cyclone Winds to Halfus, making it humanly possible to interrupt his nova.
Time Warden:
Having this dragon present activates the Proto-Behemoth's Fireball Barrage, which is handled by the video.
When the Time Warden is released: It applies Time Dilation to the Proto-Behemoth, which allows you to move away from incoming fireballs.
Note: The Proto-Behemoth has a single target fireball that is not affected in any way by this drake.

Our first night on this, we had Storm Rider, Slate, and Whelps.
We tried releasing 2 in various combos. We tried releasing one at a time. Storm Rider always first so we could interrupt. But nothing we did seemed to work. The amount of raid damage from the scorching breath, coupled with tank damage usually meant a wipe in 30 secs to a minute. We had 3 healers, and we had almost 40K hps in heals going out, but the damage seemed insurmountable. We even tried 3 tanks. No dice. Tanks were rotating to never take more than 4-5 stacks of the MS debuff, but at least one tank was always dead within 30 seconds (and not always the one on Halfus). I think our longest attempt going one at a time was maybe 1:45 before we suddenly lost both tanks and a healer almost simultaneously.
What are we missing? We have to be missing something. Granted, We're in mostly 346 gear, but this is the first boss, it has to be doable in that gear.

We got the same combo as Disenchanted. The Proto-Behemoth does Fireball Barrage no matter which drakes you get, so spread out. We put 2 interrupters on Halfus and released the Storm Rider and the Whelps together. One tank tanked Halfus, and the other tanked the Drake and the Whelps.
DPS AoEd down the whelps first. This was important. The damage from the Storm Rider will not slow down until he dies but the whelps will die staggered with some dying very early. This made the damage on the drake tank manageable faster.
When the Halfus tank got 12+ stacks of the healing debuff the drake tank taunted off and our Holy pally BoPed the Halfus tank to drop his stacks. Then the Halfus tank taunted him right back before the drake tank received any stacks. This allowed time for Dps to kill the whelps so the drake tank could handle having Halfus' healing debuff.
Once the Whelps were dead, we killed the Storm Rider, and by then, the 2 interrupters had gotten Halfus down to 60%. We just burned him down and kept tank swapping for the debuff.

-My DK is a Healer
Got it tonight after only 2 attempts in a manner very similar to how Deathsvalor did it. But we cheated it a bit by having our DK go offspec tank for a third tank. Ignored slate, popped Timewarp and burned Halfus the instant Storm was dead (killed whelps first by dragging everything in a pile and AoEing like mad). I'm fairly certain a 3rd tank was overkill and we can do it easily with 2 tanks now.
Still unsure now why everybody was dropping so fast our first night of attempts after tonight. We didn't do it that much differently the other night.
2 weeks ago we did halfus for the first time with slate, whelps, scion (2 Tanks, 3 Heals, 5 DPS). That came with relative ease once we released scion then slate then whelps (1 at a time). Maybe an hour or so of learning since no one had seen it...
This week we broke our faces on Slate, Storm, Whelps thursday night trying to use 2 tanks, 3 heals & 5 DPS. We would constantly lose a tank during the halfus debuff transitions (switching around 6-8 stacks).
We went back in last night and managed it in about 6 attempts.
Strategy and Setup:
3 Tanks:
Feral - Halfus
Warrior - Halfus
Prot Pally - Drake/Whelps
3 Heals:
Holy Pally
Holy Priest
Resto Druid
1 Mage
1 Hunter
1 Shadow Priest
1 Rogue
Keeping the halfus tanks strictly on halfus never tanking a drake/whelps with a Debuff or halfus + Drake/whelps *really* made a difference. So much so that it almost trivialized the encounter completely. The warrior and I (feral) used our 10 second interupts on an every other basis and had relatively little issue with the shadow nova (aside from the odd tunnel visioning on the nova too much and not watching healing debuff stacks from halfus).
Initial Pull:
Feral + Warrior on halfus with Warrior tanking first and attempting to catch that first .5 second shadow nova cast (we never did). Prot Pally released the storm dragon, hunter released the whelps & Prot pally tanked whelps + Storm on top of halfus.
DPS Strategy above 50%:
First focus was on downing the storm rider (anyone with the ability to "cleave" off of halfus and onto the whelps/storm was encouraged to do so). Hero was used as soon as we felt the pull was stable. The second storm went down we had the hunter standing ready to release the slate dragon. Prot pally picked up the slate and by that time the whelps were either dead or very close to it. We finished off slate quickly & moved on to halfus
DPS Strategy Sub 50%:
During this phase halfus does furious roar (3 consecutive stuns). We had the mage blink and interrupt the nova he starts casting after that 3rd stun and it worked flawlessly.
Key points (listed in highest priority):
- Tank Taunt & Interrupt Communication - Nova's going off would almost always get a tank killed just due to knock backs interrupting a healer. We had some leeway because of the fact that we had 3 tanks but it was really tight (our kill attempt we didnt lose anyone).
- Releasing Storm & Whelps at the same time - Storm is not an optional first release, without storm being released you cannot interrupt shadow nova. Whelps really were just a minor annoyance but they ease a ton of the raid healing requirement when they are released.
- Releasing slate as soon as the storm dragon was down - His 12 second stun on halfus is incredible. It allows for raid stabilization, tanks to get both of their interrupts off of CD, stops him from casting nova, and healer regen.
Question - is there any way to *reliably* avoid that first shadow nova? (when storm rider is doing is activation animation and not affecting halfus cast time yet..)

[A]Laughing My Azeroth of Mannoroth is recruiting!!
Last night we managed 10 man halfus with storm, whelps, and slate. We had a good deal of trouble with this over the past week so I figure I'll post what we did in detail to help anyone who might have similar issues.
prot warrior
blood dk
holy pally
holy priest
resto druid
ele shaman
demo lock
ret pally
shadow priest
fire mage
We activated storm first (alone), popped hero, and burned storm with all dps on him save our ele shaman who was on halfus the whole time using 5 second cd windshear to do all the shadow nova interrupts. Our warrior tank was on halfus, dk on storm. Around 10ish stacks of the debuff on our warrior tank our holy pally bop'd him, warrior cleared it, and taunted back. When he reached 7 stacks our dk would taunt off of him.
Based on when the storm drake died, we would wait for a fresh taunt on halfus and have the tank who was free release the whelps. From this point we had a mix of aoe (our warlock/mage did some) and single target dps to bring the whelps down (ele was still on halfus for interrupts). Throughout this both of our tanks maintained a sort of spread threat on the whelps while continuing to trade halfus whenever one or the other's debuffs wore off.
Once the whelps were down everyone switched to halfus. We had a mage blink out of the third wave of the roar and he was able to counterspell the shadow nova every time, worked like a charm.
We wiped with this strat once after hitting the enrage timer and tried some variations but we eventually got our kill with a very smooth run of the strat above, with a good 10 seconds left on his enrage timer.

Not sure if this has now been shared with the wider community but it is something that saved my tank during Mortal Strikes - Have a Paladin use Hand of Protection on your main tank after the initial pull on Halfus.
I can keep my DK tank up until about 10 stacks of Mortal Strikes at which point I HoP him, he quickly clicks off the buff and taunts Halfus back before he starts smacking on any of the raid members.
This allows the off tank to tank the two drakes you opt to release first until their death before having to worry about tank switching on Halfus.
Did this last night on 25 and had the unfortunate combo of Nether, Slate and Time Warden and only two tanks, which put a lot of stress on our healers. We burned the drakes down one at a time (Nether, Slate then Time), saving Blood Lust for right after the Time Warden went down. Some things that helped:
- When the current drake was at 5% health a hunter would activate the next drake and Misdirect it to a tank
- Pally healers used Hand of Sacrifice + Divine Shield to help tanks
- Pally tanks can use Divine Shield + /cancelaura to drop stacks (The Paladin going from drake to Halfus would have both for a second)
- Divine Guardian as a cooldown for the other tank
The two problem areas were dps pulling aggro on the tank swap and keeping tanks alive during the stun phase. He's untauntable at that point so we'd have the person who was second highest on threat run to the opposite side of the room to kite him.
How does a PC gamer change a light bulb? He doesn't. He goes on the forums and QQs about it being dark.
We were able to down this on 10 man last week in a little over an hour worth of attempts. We had Storm, Slate and the whelps.
For the pull, we immediately released Storm and the whelps and they were picked up by our main tank (a warrior). Our off tank (DK) grabbed Halfus and started cooldowns around 8 or 9 stacks. Once Storm was at 15% or so the main tank taunted the boss. For the rest of the fight the tanks taunted off each other once their debuffs dropped.
We had everything stacked up together to maximize cleaves and make it easier for our enh shaman to DPS and interrupt the novas. We popped hero and burnt down the Storm drake first, encouraging the use of cleaves. We actually ended up getting the achievement because of all the incidental AOE (fire mage, unholy DK, enh shaman).
After the Storm drake and the whelps were down we didn't even bother releasing slate. We just focused on Halfus. For the nova after Furious Roar we had our mage blink out of the stun and counterspell. Once we had our strat tweaked and working, the kill came pretty easy. There's minimal damage sub-50% as long as you've got someone interrupting the nova.
Killed in a pug with Slate, Nether, and Time Warden. Even though it was my first time there, it seems to me that any combo with Slate, Time Warden, and either Nether or Storm Rider is the hardest before your tanks overgear it due to the simple fact that you have to delay releasing Time Warden.
Group makeup: Prot Paladin (me), Prot Warrior, Two Holy Paladins, Resto Shaman, Mage, SPriest, Warlock, Rogue, Fury Warrior
The pull: Everyone started near Nether with the warrior tank ready to release ASAP. I pulled the boss from 30 yards with DPlea+AW+Judgement and drank a swiftness potion. This gave me about 5-6 seconds before I got a single stack of the debuff. I tanked the boss around the middle of the room.
Bloodlust was blown as soon as Nether was attackable. I cycled through short cooldowns after about 7 stacks (two avoidance trinkets -> DProtection). Once Nether was down to about 10% I bubble macro'd to remove the debuff and released Time Warden. Once I hit 5ish stacks warrior taunted boss and I continued to tank Warden until he died. Around this point is where it just turns into a basic taunt rotation. I actually taunted the boss as soon as my debuff ran out while Warden was around 10%.
Pretty easy fight from here. It took us a couple wipes to realize that we could strafe/run forward between stun ticks to avoid fireballs and when we killed him he had frenzied at 2%. Pretty much a classic gear check. Mechanics-wise Valiona/Theralion is slightly more complex but overall I think Halfus is tougher. If you can beat him you can beat V/T.
Tonight we had Whelps, Storm and Time Warden dragons. We managed a comfortable kill with 45 secs left on the enrage timer on our 2nd try. Setup like this (10-man).
2 Tanks (Paladins)
3 Healers (Shaman, Druid, Holy Priest)
5 DPS (Enhancement Shaman, Fury Warrior, Mage, Shadow Priest, Warlock)
MT aggro boss and release/pick up whelps. OT pick up Storm Rider. Everything is stacked in the middle circle, remember that Melee DPS and Tanks cant stand too close to each other due to the Fireball Barrage but they should still stay reasonably tight so AoE heals can be as effective as possible.
All DPS except Enhancement Shaman on the Storm Rider, pop Heroism. Enhancement Shaman can interrupt Shadow Nova alone since interrupt is on 5 sec CD. Use cleaves, Nova totems/Fire Elemantal and residual AoE to take Whelp (and boss) health down while nuking Storm. As soon as Storm is down, AoE classes start AoE on whelps while single target DPS (in this case Warrior) go DPS on boss.
Meanwhile OT who is now free pick up Time Warden and pulls to the tanking spot. This means boss is now taking 150% extra damage and the ranged DPS and healers standing at range can dodge the now very slow fireballs with ease, leaving healers more time and mana for the tanks. Whelps die really fast since they are already damaged from cleaves, tank dmg and residual AoE while Storm Rider is being nuked down.
After whelps are down all DPS nuke the boss full out. Stunning roar (of which you can expect 4) was handled by the Mage blinking out of the last wave and counterspell which worked like a charm.
Key points: You cant really afford to miss out on interrupting a single Shadow Nova, so make sure you dont. Max out heals by having tanks and melee dps close enough to each other that chain/AoE heals covers all of them.
Ranged DPS and healers should be given fixed positions and only ever move when they get targeted by the Fireball Barrage. When that happens, they run forward or strafe to avoid most of the damage, then move back to their assigned positions. Make sure that everyone is within reach of every healer all the time - fixed positions.
Make good individual use of all your dmg reducing abilities and self heals, including healthstones and healing pots. Use Fire Aura/Totem.

Tanks: Pally and Warrior (me)
Healers: 2-3? i didnt pay attention
Drakes up: Slate, Nether, Time Warden
Started fight by pally taking the big guy and a hunter releasing the Nether and MD to me. All DPS was on the Nether. As stacks built up on the Pally he would pally bubble to remove all stacks and taunt back. This worked great.
When the Nether was down the hunter released the Slate and MDed to the Pally while I took the big guy.
All we did was each time the healing debuff fell off the other tank we swapped targets.
As the Slate went down we did the same thing with the Time Warden.
Was a fun fight

OWENSBORO, Ky. (6/14/13) – The Daviess County Public Schools district is hosting "Camp Curiosity," an exciting summer education opportunity for migrant students in grades K-9 in our community. Migrant students are those who have significant interruptions in schooling due to frequent moving caused by agricultural related job opportunities for their guardians.
The third annual program provides migrant children the opportunity to enjoy a variety of experiences from soccer to kindermusik, and from math games to non-fiction reading scavenger hunts. New this year, Camp Curiosity will host the Kentucky Shakespeare Theatre for a weeklong acting immersion into the works of the playwright.
The camp has three goals: Help each student achieve reading fluency and non-fiction reading comprehension on grade level; help students achieve math computation fluency on grade level; and have fun!
Students work on hands-on activities in small groups to improve their reading fluency and math computation skills. Also new this year is an emphasis on non-fiction reading comprehension, a truly vital skill under the new Core Content State Standards for reading. In addition to a focus on math and reading, Camp Curiosity allows students to participate in visual arts and kindermusik classes as well as health education and media center (library and technology) classes. Intermediate students and middle school students will take a field trip to Lost River Cave, where students will enjoy a boat ride tour of the underground caverns, and to the National Corvette Museum, where students will learn about automobile manufacturing and see the newest Corvettes. Primary students will visit Trunnell's Farm Market to get an up close look at running a farm, and the Owensboro Museum of Science and History. A family fun movie night will also be held near the end of camp.
Patrick Riley, administrator for the DCPS Migrant Summer Program, said, "Camp Curiosity is about engaging, educating and exciting the students to be their best throughout the year, and closing the summer academic gap to ensure immediate success on the first day of school."
The camp is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays from June 24 to July 19 at Southern Oaks Elementary School, 7525 U.S. 431. Also, three professional learning days for camp staff are scheduled June 19-21.

GenderWatch is a full text database of publications that focuses on the impact of gender across a broad spectrum of subject areas and countries. Subjects include: business, education, literature and the arts, health sciences, history, political science, public policy, sociology and contemporary culture, gender and women's studies and more. Indexed are journals, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, regional publications, books, booklets and pamphlets, conference proceedings, and government, NGO and special reports.
When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

Unique to NRPA significant portion of the distribution will be subject to section 1231 gains (capital gains) treatment, rather than ordinary income
A major reason that investors buy MLPs (versus bonds) is the potential to see their distributions grow faster than inflation.
Generally, a company chooses to be a master limited partnership to avoid double taxation of dividends. So instead of the partnership paying taxes on its profits (like a corporation), each limited partner is responsible on his or her individual income tax for a proportional share of the MLP's income allowing a higher cash flow payout to unitholders. The MLP format is more tax-efficient.
MLP Advantages

Investors should consult with a tax advisor concerning their individual tax situations.

Got this 3W to get more height on my fairway shots but hit low shots mostly with it. Didn't like the set-up at address and couldn't get any consistency with. Replaced a Snake Eyes 600T 15 degree with this and although got more distance with the Cobra am more consistent with the Snake Eyes.
I am not a long hitter but I can get about 180 or so with this club off the deck. Nice high trajectory and fairly easy to get a slight draw from it when needed. The feel was nice and the club is very forgiving on off center hits.
Best 3 wood I ever hit. easy to get the ball up.
This club strikes well but its hard to keep consistent.

But, photobucket actually has a feature that allows you to

Getting Hands-On Experience
St. Mary's chemistry and biochemistry majors were busy this summer participating in research and medical internships on campus and around the country. Ashton Engdahl (above) spent her summer developing a green synthesis of functionalized pyrroles on campus with a paid research internship through our campus SMURF program.
Awards Aplenty in New Orleans
A generous contribution from the John J. Leidy Foundation allowed eight St. Mary's students to attend the 245th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in New Orleans where they presented posters describing their research. Josh Olexa ('13) explains his poster to a judge, and former American Chemical Society president, in the Speak Simply Contest where students were judged on their ability to explain their research. St. Mary's was well represented, as Josh and Greg Triegger ('13) were both awarded for their posters.
The Chemistry Major
The general educational objective of the chemistry major is the development of a fundamental understanding of the basic principles, concepts, models, and practices employed by chemists in characterizing the structure and behavior of matter.

Starfish maintain winning ways
The time it took you to read the headline on this article was about equal to the time that separated South Adams from Concordia in the girls' 400-freestyle relay, and it was that slight edge that propelled the Starfish to their fifth straight win this season Tuesday night at South Adams.
Kara DeLong, Michaela Rupp, Ellie Kaverman and Cady Farlow posted a 4:05.44 to claim the final relay of the night, beating Concordia's top team by less than a second to give South Adams a 90-86 victory. The win keeps the Starfish girls unbeaten this year at 5-0.
South Adams' boys weren't nearly as dramatic in posting their victory, knocking off the Cadets 96-63 to raise their season re...

Anybody remember (way back) in 2007 when I created a tiny, little, mini-book that I called 'The Present'? I put ten current pictures in this 2 1/2″ mini and carried it around with me for an entire year, and then I spent time with each image, documenting what had changed or evolved and what had remained the same …
The cover.
The first page.
The End.
I loved this exercise so much that I shared it here on my blog, as a challenge beginning in October 2008. As memory lovers we talk about how fleeting present moments are and how quickly they become cherished memories — and it's true!
So … I want to re-issue my present challenge, but with an updated (mobile/social media) twist.
Tomorrow is 3.14 (a magical number in the math world!) I'm inviting you to celebrate by spending a few moments with your smart phone, selecting 14 recent images that represent your life right now. Move these images to a new album (on your phone) and call it "my present." Commit to viewing these images often—you might even set weekly reminders to scroll through these photos, one at a time.
This is what "my present" phone album looks like.
And now, here's where it gets really FUN …
Upload these same images to your Facebook profile, in their own album and add a brief description to each one.
Answer questions like these:
Why did you select that photo?
What does it say about your 'right now'?
If you want to involve family and friends, ask them to view and comment—better yet, help them create their own present!
You in?
Leave me a comment and perhaps share a link to your Facebook album!
We'll revisit our presents in the future (one year from tomorrow) and I think we'll be surprised at what we learn as scrapbookers and storytellers.
p.s. If you're in my Inspired Scrapbooking workshop at Big Picture Classes (you can still join) This is your third challenge for March!
