METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF PILE FABRICS Original Filed May 9, 1958 United States Patent 3,154,837 METHGD FGR THE MANUFACTURE GE FILE FABRECS George de lt iestral, .Nyon, Switzerland, assi aor to International Velcro Company, Estah, Nyon, Switzerland, a corporation of Liechtenstein I Original application May 9, 1958, Ser. No. 734,347, new Patent No..3,009,235, dated Nov. 21, 1961. Divided and this application Mar. 21, 1961, Ser. No. 195,846
1 Claim. (Cl. 2872) From Swiss Patent No. 295,638 and United States Patent No. 2,717,437, respectively, there is known a separable fastening device comprising two elements, in that case, two layers of woven fabric of the velvet type in which the loops have been cut to form hooks. The hooks .of these layers of fabric are formed by a thread of artificial material, such as nylon or similar materials, so that they are capable of preserving their shape after cutting the loops to form books. The preservation of the shape of the hooks is obtained by a thermal treatment appropriate for the particular artificial material used.
It will be understood that when two layers of this type are pressedinto face to face relation a substantial percentage of the hooks, engage with one another, and the two layers are ,thus hooked one to the other. Separation requires a forceof a considerable magnitude when it is attempted to release a large number of hooks at once but separation may be quite readily eifected by progressively peeling the layers apart. Hooking or connecting devices of this character are adapted to be used, for example, as closing devices for clothing, blinds or the like, thus replacing slide fasteners, buttons and other attachments of this type, particularly when a flexible closure, which is invisible and can be opened easily, is desirable.
It has been found that the use of one layer of fabric of the hooked velvet type, as described above, with a layer of fabric of the loop-type, such as terry or uncut velvet, provides greatly improved resistance to separation of the two layers of fabric.
Experience has shown that a hooked layer, of the type disclosed in said Patent 2,717,437, provided, for example with 120 hooks per square centimeter has a relatively large portion of its surface which is not provided with hooks. As a result, only about 30% of the total number of hooks come into engagement with other hooks when two layers of such hooked fabric are pressed to gether. In contrast with this, when one such layer with hooks is pressed against a layer having, for example, about 1000 loops per Square centimeter, the possibilities of hooking are considerably augmented.
The present application is a division of application Serial No. 734,347, filed May 9, 1958, for separable Fastening Device and Method and Apparatus for the Manufacture of the Same, now US. Patent 3,009,235.
The present invention therefore has for its object the provision of a method of manufacturing a separable fastener consisting of two elements provided with cooperating hooking members characterised in that one of said elements is provided with hooks and the other with loops.
For the purpose of further enhancing the firmness of engagement of such a separable fastener the present invention provides a method for weaving the elements having the loops in which the loops are formed from multifilarnent yarns having such a degree of twist that as an incident of the formation of certain of the loops the filaments within such loops will become untwisted and thus will fan out to form a large number of individual loops. This method afiords increased probability of engagement of the hooks with the loops so that a ice I major percentage, if not all, of the hooks on the hookcarying element will become engaged with a loop on the other element.
In the drawings; I l H FIG. 1 is an enlarged diagrammatic view illustrating a portion of an apparatus and a method for the weaving of either hooked or looped fabrics suitable for the present invention; ,7 I p 7 p FIG. 2 is a fragmentary plan View of a lancet with a series of pile loops formed thereon in accordance with the present invention; 7 g V p 7 FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic, vertical sectional view of a fabric, taken in a plane parallel with the warps from which the loops are formed in accordance with the present invention; and p 7 g FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic, vertical sectional view taken in a plane perpendicular to FIG. 3 and showing the fabric of FIG, 3 in cooperative relationship with a hook element to form a fastening device. 7
With reference to FIG. 1, the terry or velvet-type uncut fabric illustrated is manufactured by forming a base fabric which comprises a number of firmly woven weft threads 1 and warp threads 2. It will be understood that a large number of Warp threads 2 have been omitted and that the weft threads 1 have been shown spread apart. The loops 3 of said fabric are formed in supplementary warp threads passed over metal bars 5 in the formof lancets during the weaving operation, in a loom of the general type employed in weaving velvet ribbon. Said supplementary warp threads 4 preferably are of artificial material, such as nylon or other material capable of being set by heat into a predetermined form. Such supplemental warps are thus capable of retainin by reason of thermal heat treatment, the shape which has been imparted thereto during weaving. Said supplementary warp threads 4 are multifilaments which are preferred for the manufacture of the looped elements.
The fabric shown in FIG. 2 is a looped fabric woven as illustrated in FIGv 1 with lancets 5 all having substantially the same cross-section. Said fabric includes supplementary warp threads 4 of the multifilament type. By selecting multifilament threads or yarns 4 having an initial twist or torsion equal to the amount of untwisting which will occur as the yarns are carried in one direction across the lancets 5, every other loop in the same series will be fanned out as shown at a while the remaining loops 7 will be even more tightly twisted as diagrammatically indicated in FIGS. 2 and 3. The untwisting just referred to results from the fact that the pile yarn 4 is secured against twisting about its longitudinal axis at the point where it has been beaten into the base fabric 8 as it is formed from yarns 1 and 2 and at the point where this same yarn 4 is held by tension in the doupe and against the reed dents. If, for example the pile yarn 4 is twisted clockwise (Z-twist) the portion thereof between the points just mentioned will untwist when the doupe moves from the right (looking from the front of the loom) to the left side of the lancet 5.
uch untwisting will constitute only a fraction of a com-. plete turn and the initial twist of the yarn 4 is so selected as to be equal to the amount of untwisting which will occur in the particular length of yarn between such points of engagement. A similar fractional turn of additional twist will be added when the cloupe moves from left to right.
The separated filaments 6 in those loops which have been untwisted as just described constitute individual loops, any one or more of which is readily available for engagement with a hook 9 forming a part of a hook fastening element 19, as shown in FIG. 4. As noted above FIG. 4 is taken in a plane perpendicular to the plane of FIG; 3
a whereby a transversely extending row of untwisted loops 6 is shown. The hook fastening element 10 may be of any desired construction, for example, it may be an element such as shown in the aforesaid U.S. Patent No. 2,717,437.
In the weaving of the loop element herein disclosed it is preferred to weave the base fabric 8, formed from yarns 1 and 2 as shown in FIG. 1, very tightly and to weave the pile yarns 4 into the base fabric with considerable firmness. After the weaving operation the loops formed from yarns 4 may be fixed or stabilized so that they retain their shape and position. This fixing or stabilization may be effected by heat setting or by impregnation of the fabric, for example by adhesive products, or both. In this manner a very large number of durable and firmly anchored loops are provided.
A preferred manner of heat setting of the loops and fabric as just described is to so arrange the loom on a which the fabric is woven that the lancets 5 extend in the direction of movement of the woven fabric for a substantial distance whereby the loops may slide along the lancets While continuing to surround the lancets. A heating device, not shown, may be arranged to heat the loops on the extended lancets 5 to a heat setting temperature appropriate for the particular synthetic material of which the loops and/or the fabric base 8 are formed. As indicated above, the base fabric 8 may be impregnated with an adhesive and preferably may be impregnated or coated on thereverse face with a heat-settable resin capable of withstanding such temperatures as are likely to be encountered in normal usage of a fastener element.
The hooked fabric 1%) or the looped fabric 8 as shown in FIG. 4 may be produced in various ways. For example, they may be Woven as relatively narrow bands having a width required for the intended use. In that event a number of such bands may be woven simultaneously on a loom of the type used for Weaving ribbon. Alternatively,*they may be woven as a band of considerable width which may be slit to form bands of desired width. In either event the bands may be of indeterminate length from which desired lengths may be cut at will.
What is claimed is:
A method for the manufacture of a separable fastener member comprising weaving a base fabric including warp and weft yarns and supplemental yarns forming a loop pile on said base fabric, utilizing as said supplemental yarns a multifilament synthetic resinous material having a twist in a predetermined direction, weaving each of said supplemental yarns in a predetermined zig-zag pattern such as substantially to untwist said supplemental yarn in every other loop formed consecutively from each of said supplementary yarns, whereby to separate the filaments in each of such untwisted loops into discrete loops, and stabilizing said fabric to maintain said discrete loops in separated condition.

The present invention relates, in general, to performance measuring equipment for cooling towers and, in particular, to a new and useful cooling tower monitor which utilizes simple function blocks to monitor the performance of a cooling tower.
Cooling towers are steady-flow devices which are utilized to remove heat from water. Most industrial processes generate waste heat and this heat must be dissipated. Cooling towers use a combination of mass and energy transfer to cold water by exposing the water as an extended surface to the atmosphere. The water surface is extended by filling, which presents a film surface or creates drops due to splashing. The water may also be sprayed to produce droplets. An air flow is established past the water either in a cross-flow relationship or in a counter-flow relationship.
The ASHRAE Equipment Handbook of 1975 at chapter 21 describes cooling towers and methods of measuring their performance.
Performance calculations can be achieved only by computers with high level programming languages. The performance calculations cannot be performed by analog devices in an effective manner. "Chiller Plant Energy Conservation Operations" by K. Sinnamohideen and N. Olmstead, discloses the use of digital computers for calculating performance of a cooling tower. An article by K. Cooper of York division Borg-Warner Corp. entitled "Utilizing Water Chillers Efficiently" implies the performance of calculations to obtain a cooling tower performance value, but it is assumed that these calculations would also be performed utilizing a computer with high level programming language.
Currently, there are no effective tools for monitoring cooling tower performance except for computers. Computers however, require high level language which takes a relatively long period of time for processing and also requires highly trained personnel for its operation. This results in high cost.
The present invention is drawn to a monitor for monitoring the performance of a cooling tower which does not require a computer or its high level language. Simple function blocks are utilized which are assembled in a unique manner to achieve the performance calculation. This results in a low cost and high speed mechanism for monitoring cooling tower performance. Essentially, the advantages of analog devices and computers are combined according to the present invention.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a cooling tower monitor which utilizes simple function blocks and a plurality of parameter transmitters to generate a performance value for the tower.
A further object of the invention is to provide such a monitor which includes temperature transmitters for transmitting signals corresponding to the cold water output temperature from the tower, the hot water input temperature of the tower and the surrounding temperature of the tower. A water flow transmitter and an air flow transmitter are provided for transmitting signals corresponding to the water flow in the output from the tower and the air flow through the tower. A relative humidity transmitter is also utilized to provide a signal corresponding to the relative humidity outside the tower. First, calculating means which are made up of discrete function blocks are connected to the outside temperature transmitter and to the relative humidity transmitter to calculate a wet bulb temperature as a function of the surrounding humidity and temperature. Second calculating means are connected to the other transmitters and also to the first calculating means for calculating available flow as a function of the rating factor for the tower as well as input and output temperatures and air flow, as a theoretical value. Further means are connected to the water flow transmitter and the second calculating means to generate the actual performance value which can be taken as a ratio between the actual flow and available or theoretical flow.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a cooling tower monitor which is simple in design, rugged in construction and economical to manufacture.
The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its uses, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which a preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated.
In the Drawings:
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a cooling tower with the parameter transmitters and modular performance calculator according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the overall cooling tower monitor for monitoring the performance of the cooling tower;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the logic circuit for generating a wet bulb temperature for use in calculating a theoretical or available water flow through the cooling tower;
FIGS. 4 through 6 are graphs illustrating the quantities of approach, range and wet bulb temperature of air for the cooling tower; and
FIGS. 7 and 8 are graphs showing the relationship of outside temperature to evaporation pressure of water and enthalpy or energy content to wet bulb temperature for use in the block diagram of FIG. 3.
Referring to the drawings, in particular, the invention embodied in FIG. 1 comprises a cooling tower monitor generally designated 20 for a cooling tower generally designated 10.
The cooling tower is provided with hot water on a hot-water inlet 12. As shown, hot water can be provided from a hot water by-pass or from a condenser of an industrial process or heat exchanger.
The water is sprayed down through a housing 14 of the heat exchanger and collected in a pan 15 from which it is supplied through a cold water outlet 16 back to the hot-water by-pass or condenser. A cross flow of air is established by a blower having a motor and fan and designated 17. A first temperature TT1 is connected to the cold water outlet 16 for transmitting a signal corresponding to the temperature of water leaving the cooling tower. A flow transmitter FT1 is connected to the outlet 16 for generating a value corresponding to the actual flow of water out of the tower. A second transmitter TT2 generates a signal corresponding to the input water temperature at 12. A third temperature transmitter TT3 generates a value corresponding to the surrounding or outside air temperature and a relative humidity transmitter RH1 generates a value corresponding to the surrounding relative humidity of the air outside the tower. Finally, a speed transmitter ST1 is connected to the motor and fan combination 17 and generates a signal (FA) corresponding to the flow of air through the cooling tower.
The monitor 20 receives the signals from the transmitter and generates a value Pct corresponding to the performance of the cooling tower.
The purpose of the cooling tower monitor 20 is to determine the ability of the tower to provide its expected performance.
The equivalent area to cool a 1 gpm (gallon per minute) flow of water at standard conditions is called 1 tower unit. The standard conditions are:
Twi =Temperature of entering water=90� F.;
Two =Temperature of leaving water=80� F.; and
Tab =Wet bulb temperature of air=70� F.
If the cooling tower delivers M gpm water at standard conditions, then the tower has a rating of "M, tower unit". Industry uses the flow rate of water, M gpm, at standard conditions as the performance capability which is the same as the "tower unit".
Two other terms are used which are related to temperature:
A=Approach=Two -Tab (1)
R=Range=Twi -Two (2)
The standard conditions dictate that:
The performance of the cooling tower is measured at various temperature conditions, but rather at standard conditions. The correction is made by the "rating factor" (F), to find the performance at standard conditions. The Rating Factor is found from rating charts given by the ASHRAE Equipment Handbook at Chapter 21. Rating factor is presented as a function of Range and Approach, for a given wet bulb temperature of air.
ASHRAE charts are for a given air flow through the tower. In the development here, airflow is varied for optimization and will be taken as an independent variable. Then,
RF=ƒ(R, A, Tab, Fa) (a)
a nonlinear function can be written. Describing RF about a reference point (RF)�, in terms of functional variations, f, of each variable
RF=(RF)�[ƒR (R)][ƒA (A)][ƒT (Tab)][ƒF (FA)](6)
is written. Since (RF)�=1, the values of fR, fA, fT can be taken from ASHRAE charts directly. These functional relations are plotted in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6. The values fF can be taken as:
ƒF (FA)=(FA /FA �)�9 (7)
However, the manufacturer's data should be used if possible:
The Cooling Tower Performance Factor (Pct) is similar to a fouling factor for a heat exchanger. The performance factor of the cooling tower is defined as: ##EQU1## measured at standard conditions. The "RF" values are used to find Pct. The procedure is as follows:
1. Measure Tab, Two, Twi, FA to get A and R;
2. Find fR, RA, FT, fF to determine RF;
3. For known Tower Units or M� find Mava from: ##EQU2## and 4. Measure Mact and find Pct from equation (8).
Turning to FIG. 2, a logic block 30 is utilized to calculate the wet bulb temperature of air Tab as a function of the surrounding air temperature T and surrounding relative humidity RH as supplied by transmitters TT3 and RH1. Details of logic circuit 30 are shown in FIG. 3 and will be discussed later.
A first comparator 21 subtracts the wet bulb temperature from the output temperature which is supplied by temperature transmitter TT1 to obtain the value for approach A. A second comparator or subtraction unit 22 is connected between the first and second temperature transmitters TT1 and TT2 to generate the range R. The speed transmitter ST1 provides an air flow value directly to a function generator 25. The output of logic circuit 30, first comparator 21 and second comparator 22 are connected respectively to function generators 26, 23, and 24.
Function blocks 23, 24 and 26 generate functions illustrated in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6, respectively. Function block 25 performs the function calculation of equation (7). Multipliers 27 are connected to the outputs of function blocks 23 through 26 and also to a value line for providing the (RF)� to generate the rating factor RF for the cooling tower. This value divides the tower units M� in divider 28 to obtain the available or theoretical flow value Mava. This value is divided into the actual flow Mact in a further divider 29 to obtain the performance value Pct.
In the logic circuit 30 illustrated in FIG. 3, function generators 31 and 32 generate functions of temperature and enthalpy or energy content illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8, respectively.
The operation of FIG. 3 is explained in greater detail in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 462,599, U.S. Pat. No. 4,474,027 filed Jan. 31st, 1983 and titled OPTIMUM CONTROL OF COOLING TOWER WATER TEMPERATURE BY FUNCTION BLOCKS.
Function block 31 is connected to the surrounding air temperature transmitter TT3 and generates a value Ps corresponding to the evaporation pressure of water at the surrounding temperature T. Multipliers 33 are utilized in conjunction with the relative humidity transmitter RH1 and the function block 31 to obtain a value corresponding to the partial pressure of moisture. A multiplier 34 and a difference unit or comparator 35 are then utilized to provide values to a division unit 36 which generates a value w which represents the moisture ratio of the outside air, i.e. the pounds of moisture per pound of dry air.
The outside temperature T and the moisture ratio w are supplied to a second portion of the logic module 30 at 39, and are used in conjunction with multipliers 37 and summing units 38 as well as the function generator 32 to generate the wet bulb air temperature Tab.
While a specific embodiment of the invention has been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the principles of the invention, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.

WFTV obtains video of Marion Co. deputy fatally shooting suspect
MARION COUNTY, Fla. - A
grand jury wants Marion County to change the way it trains deputies following the release of dash
Witnesses said Salvato was stepping into traffic and yelling at cars as deputies arrived.
In the dash
Not realizing Salvato had been shot, Brown then shot the 21-year-old with a Taser, but officials said that did not contribute to his death.
"We said, 'You know, let's go with what they're saying,'" said Judge Cochran of the Marion County Sheriff's Office
"It's such an aggressive training, so we had deputies we had to pull from patrol for them to recuperate," said Cochran.
This new adjustment means deputies will receive four times the training required by the state.

Gara'jal the Spiritbinder is the third boss in the Mogu'shan Vaults raid instance. The encounter is a single-phase fight, which will test your raid's ability to work together in a coordinated fashion.
More than anything else, the fight will strain your DPS players, who must kill the boss before the rather short enrage timer.

3. Overview of the Fight
The fight against Gara'jal the Spiritbinder is a single phase fight that takes place in two different "realms". The boss, as well as your raid, is located in what we now call the Normal World. Several adds are located within the Spirit World, from where they continuously damage your raid.
Throughout the fight, several raid members will choose (and in some cases, be forced) to temporarily go into the Spirit World, in order to kill adds, and keep raid damage under control.
When the boss reaches 20% health, he goes into a frenzy, dealing increased damage. More importantly, the raid damage will increase as well. Indeed, at this stage, players will no longer be able to enter the Spirit World to kill the adds. This constitutes a soft enrage mechanics that will eventually wipe the raid.
In addition to the various tasks your raid must perform, a rather high amount of raid DPS is required to beat the enrage timer.
The fight bears many similarities to the heroic version of the Valiona and Theralion encounter in The Bastion of Twilight (and, to a lesser extent, to the normal mode of that fight). Those who have not experienced this encounter need not concern themselves.

4. The Normal World
The Normal World is where the boss is located for the entire duration of the fight. This is also where your raid is located by default. Occasionally, some raid members will be able to take incursions into the Spirit World, for no more than 30 seconds at a time.
In this section, we will discuss everything that pertains to the Normal World.
4.1. Abilities
In the Normal World, Gara'jal makes use of a series of abilities.
- Gara'jal will Summon Spirit Totems, every 20 seconds. These totems are
the only means for your raid members to enter the Spirit World, with the
exception of your tanks, who have an additional means available, namely
Banishment. The totems work differently in the different game modes
- In LFR, the totems are not attackable. In order to enter the Spirit World, players must simply right-click a totem. Three totems spawn each time, and there is no limit to the number of players who can enter the Spirit World.
- In 10 and 25-man, the totems are attackable and killable. When a totem is killed, the nearest players within 6 yards of the totem will be sent to the Spirit World. The nearest 3 players are sent in 10-man, while the nearest 5 are sent in 25-man. Only one totem is spawned each time. Players who enter the Spirit World in this way are brought down to 30% of their maximum health.
- Gara'jal turns the current tank and 2 other random raid members (3 raid members in 25-man and LFR) into Voodoo Dolls. 70% (50% in LFR) of the damage taken by each Voodoo Doll is also dealt to the other Voodoo Dolls (excluding, of course, the transferred damage from Voodoo Dolls itself). The effect lasts for 1 minute. Voodoo Dolls cannot enter the Spirit World (such as through the use of Spirit Totems).
- Banishment is cast by Gara'jal on the Voodoo Doll tank, as soon as the Voodoo Doll effect expires. This sends the tank into the Spirit World.
- Every 8 seconds or so, Gara'jal will use a Shadowy Attack against the tank. This is simply an attack that deals Shadow damage and ignores absorption effects.
- Frenzy increases Gara'jal's attack speed by 50% and his damage by 25%, when he reaches 20% health. Once in the Frenzy state, Gara'jal stops summoning Spirit Totems. On the Beta, in LFR, the boss continued to summon these totems. We have yet to determine if this is intentional.
4.2. Normal World Strategy
The strategy for the Normal World is rather simple. Not counting the specifics of sending designated players into the Spirit World (covered in a dedicated section), your raid has the following concerns:
- DPS Gara'jal and heal the raid and tank damage.
- Account for the increased damage taken by Gara'jal's tank.
- The off-tank must prepared to taunt the boss whenever the current tank is Banished to the Spirit World.
- Contend with the very intense damage your tank and raid will sustain after Gara'jal goes below 20% health.
4.2.1. Voodoo Doll Tank Damage
The Voodoo Doll tank will be taking high damage, due to the combination of boss melee hits and mirrored damage from the other Voodoo Dolls. These other Voodoo Doll raid members will be taking damage from adds located in the Spirit World, which also damage players in the Normal World (we discuss them in detail in a further section).
Healers must be aware of this increased damage, and always make sure that there is ample healing on the tank.
4.2.2. Taunting Gara'jal
The off-tank must be prepared to taunt Gara'jal as soon as the main tank is Banished to the Spirit World. This will happen immediately after Voodoo Dolls expires from the main tank, and it should be easy to track.
While Vodoo Dolls is active on a tank, Gara'jal will only attack that tank, and it is not possible for the other tank to take over. Taunting Gara'jal during this time still affects the threat table normally, but the boss will simply not act on this. As such, the off-tank can make sure to be second (or first) on threat by the time the main tank is Banished, at the end of Voodoo Dolls.
4.2.3. Shadowy Attacks
Every 8 seconds, Gara'jal will hit the tank with a Shadowy Attack. This is only relevant in the sense that Shadowy Attacks deal slightly more damage than normal attacks, and bypass absorption effects. Tanks and healers must be prepared for this.
4.2.4. Frenzy
When the Gara'jal goes below 20% health, he goes into a Frenzy. This causes the boss to do increased damage to the tank, but, more importantly, it prevents the raid from entering the Spirit World and killing the adds located there. This means that the raid damage will continue to escalate as more and more adds spawn. As a result of this, the tank damage will also escalate because of the increased damage on the Voodoo Doll raid members.
Healers must be prepared for this period and have all their defensive cooldowns available. This is also the ideal time for Bloodlust/ Heroism/ Time Warp.
5. Spirit World
The Spirit World is different, depending on whether the player entered it as a result of interacting with a Spirit Totem or, if they are tanks, as a result of Banishment. Since Spirit Totems are the primary means of entering the Spirit World, this will be the main focus of this section. Tanks entering the Spirit World through Banishment should refer to this section.
The Spirit World is populated by adds called Shadowy Minions. These adds spawn regularly throughout the course of the encounter. They have two spells, one which deals damage to players in the Normal World and one which deals damage to players in the Spirit World.
- Spiritual Grasp deals Shadow damage to a random player in the Normal World.
- Shadow Bolt deals Shadow damage to a random player in the Spirit World. This spell is not cast in LFR.
5.1. Entering the Spirit World
The only means of entering the Spirit World, for everyone except tanks, is through Spirit Totems. Interacting with these totems is different, depending on whether you are raiding in LFR or in 10/25-man mode.
In LFR, players can enter the Spirit World by right clicking the Spirit Totems that Gara'jal summons every 20 seconds. There is no limit to the number of players who can enter for each totem.
5.1.2. 10/25-man
In 10 and 25-man, entering the Spirit World is slightly more difficult. Here, the Spirit Totems summoned by Gara'jal are attackable and killable (their health is very low). When a Spirit Totem is killed, the closest 3 players (within 6 yards) to it are transported into the Spirit World.
As opposed to LFR, here there is a clear limit to the number of players that can be in the Spirit World at one given time. Given the 10-second difference between the cooldown Spirit Totems and the duration of the maximum stay in the Spirit World, more than 3 players can sometimes be inside for a brief period of time (5 players appears to be the absolute limit).
Moreover, and very importantly, players who enter the Spirit World in 10 and 25-man are brought to 30% of their maximum health.
5.2. Exiting the Spirit World
Players may remain in the Spirit World for, at most, 30 seconds. At the end of this period of time, depending on whether you are in LFR or 10/25, your journey will come to an end in a specific way.
- In LFR, players who are still in the Spirit World when 30 seconds expire are instantly send back out into the Normal World.
- In 10/25-man, players who are still in the Spirit World when 30 seconds expire are instantly killed.
Keeping track of how long you have left in the Spirit World is made easy by a 30-second debuff.
There is only one way to voluntarily exit the Spirit World, namely by using Return Soul, a special action button that will appear on your screen.
In LFR, this button is always present, from the moment when you enter the Spirit World. Therefore, exiting the Spirit World is a simple matter of clicking the button.
In 10/25-man, things are, again, a bit more difficult. As we noted in the section above, players who enter the Spirit World in 10/25-man are brought down to 30% health. The only way for the Return Soul button to appear is for the player to be healed up to 100% health.
Moreover, whenever a player is healed inside the Spirit World, they gain a buff, called Spiritual Innervation. We discuss this below.
5.3. Spiritual Innervation
While inside the Spirit World, any healing done to raid members stacks a buff on them, called Spiritual Innervation. This buff offers players an increase in haste, as well as an increase in regeneration rate of their main resource. In some cases, it also offers an increase in the proc rate of certain specialisation-specific mechanics. We will not go into a list of all the buffs offered by Spiritual Innvervation, by class, since they are mostly homogeneous. The important thing to note is the end result of Spiritual Innervation.
- DPS players will be able to do increased DPS.
- Healers will regenerate their mana very quickly.
It is important to note that the Spiritual Innervation buff lasts for 30 seconds, so it will last for well after the players leave the Spirit World.
5.4. Spirit World Strategy
Within the Spirit World, the strategy is simple. The players inside the Spirit World must each perform their own tasks, depending on their role.
- DPS players must interrupt and kill the Shadowy Minions with all urgency.
- Healers must quickly top off all players in the Spirit World (to enable the Return Soul ability), and then continue healing them.
For healers, the Spirit World is a mana regeneration haven, which will, in most cases, result in filling up the healer's mana pool before they return to the Normal World.
5.5. Spirit World for Tanks
At the end of Voodoo Dolls, the current tank (who had been made into a Vodoo Doll) will be banished into the Spirit World. This is a special kind of Spirit World, where they will only have to contend with a single mob, a Severer of Souls.
The tank has 30 seconds to kill this mob. It has low health, so this should really not be a problem at all. Once the mob is dead, the tank will be sent back out into the Normal World.
Keep in mind that failing to kill the mob in the alloted time will instantly kill the tank.
Other raid members who are inside the Spirit World cannot see the Severer of Souls or attack it in any way.
6. Designating Spirit World Players
The most crucial aspect of planning your success is deciding who will go into the Spirit World. In LFR, this is hardly a concern because any number of people can go through without difficulty, and because the damage done by most abilities is low enough that an inefficient strategy will not necessarily cause a wipe.
In 10 and 25-man, however, you will have to send in one healer and a team of DPS players with each Spirit Totem. To do this, these players will have to be the closest raid members to that totem when it is killed (they will stack on it, most likely). 2 DPS players will go through in 10-man, while 4 DPS players will go through in 25-man.
You should rotate all the raid's healers, so that they each get to enter the Spirit World one or more times. This is because the mana regeneration within the Spirit World is immense.
Take into account that Voodoo Dolls is cast on random raid members, and it prevents them from entering the Spirit World. This means you must assign back-ups for those designated to enter the Spirit World.
The Shadowy Minions are not hard to kill, so not all DPS players who enter the Spirit World must remain there for the full 30 seconds. Instead, it is best if some DPS players (1 in 10-man, 2 in 25-man) only enter until their Spiritual Innervation buff is refreshed and stacked up, at which point they should exit the Spirit World and continue DPSing Gara'jal. While inside the Spirit World, these players can DoT the adds.
In terms of optimising your raid's DPS, it is best to send classes that can AoE or multi-DoT effectively in the Spirit World, while leaving single-target classes in the Normal World. Some of these single-target DPS players will be going into the Spirit World only to refresh their Spiritual Innervation buff.
7. DPS Challenge
In entry-level raid gear, the Gara'jal 6-minute enrage timer will prove to be a rather pressing challenge for your raid. While using fewer healers to maximise raid DPS is one way to alleviate the problem, it will prove to have a much greater impact to have appropriate uptime of Spiritual Innervation on your DPS players, and to have these players maximise their DPS on the boss.
Gara'jal 6-minute enrage timer will 1-shot the raid, not allowing you to continue DPSing at all past this point.
8. When to Use Heroism/Bloodlust/Time Warp
The most difficult time for your raid will be the end of the fight, when both tank damage (from Frenzy and Voodoo Dolls) and raid damage (from overwhelming numbers of Shadowy Minions) will be intense.
Therefore, you should use Heroism/ Bloodlust/ Time Warp when the boss is below 20% health.
9. Learning the Fight
As we have mentioned above, the most important element of executing this fight is assigning players to enter (and exit) the Spirit World properly.
Aside from this, the rest of the encounter should not pose many problems to your raid.
10. Heroic Mode
The Heroic mode of Gara'jal the Spiritbinder makes for an extremely challenging fight. The fight presents your raid with a brutal race against the enrage timer, as well as a high amount of damage.
10.1. Differences from Normal Mode
There are several differences from the Normal mode version of the fight.
- Gara'jal has vastly more health, but the enrage timer remains the same.
- Voodoo Dolls take 100% of the damage taken by the Voodoo Doll tank, up from 70% in Normal mode.
- Gara'jal and the adds all deal considerably more damage with all of their abilities.
- Players who return to the Normal World are debuffed with Frail Soul, which kill them if they attempt to enter the Spirit World again within 30 seconds.
- Tanks who enter the Spirit World as a result of Banishment now have to defeat three Severer of Souls adds, instead of just one. Two of these three adds are also visible to other players in the Spirit World, while the other is only visible to the tank.
10.2. Strategy
The strategy for Heroic Gara'jal the Spiritbinder revolves around several key aspects. We discuss them all in the sub-sections below.
10.2.1. Beating the Enrage Timer
While beating the enrage timer is only a consideration that you will have to take into account when you have perfected the other elements of the encounter, it is something that will shape you raid composition, as well as several other choices.
Gara'jal has a 6 minute enrage timer, in both 10 and 25-man, and a health pool that is significantly larger than in Normal mode. This means that you will have to use the minimum amount of healers for the fight, 2 in 10-man, and 5 in 25-man. It is possible to use as few as 4 healers in 25-man, but you then run the risk of random deaths. Moreover, these healers will have to contribute with DPS whenever they can.
Additionally, of course, it means that your DPS players will have to perform excellently.
10.2.2. Surviving the Damage
The aspect that will cause you the most problems on this fight is the brutal damage that the tank takes. All of this damage is then transferred to the Voodoo Dolls, instead of only 70% in Normal mode.
While Gara'jal's regular melee attacks are very damaging (and can result in as much as 180,000 damage on the Voodoo Dolls), it is his Shadowy Attacks that constitute the main cause of death for the Voodoo Dolls.
Note that the Shadowy Attacks bypass absorption effects, such as Power Word: Shield or Shield Barrier.
While tank deaths can, of course, occur, the main risk is the other Voodoo Dolls will suddenly die. Therefore, it is less important how well a tank can survive on their own, and more important how much that tank can reduce the damage that the Voodoo Dolls take.
Some tanking classes are better at this than others. Arguably the best two classes for the encounter are Warriors and Monks. In the case of Warriors, this is becauase they can consistently have Shield Block up for every Shadowy Attack (the attacks can indeed be blocked), which reduces their damage greatly. Monks are great because their Stagger mechanic works with the Shadowy Attacks (despite the fact that Stagger is only meant to work on Physical damage, and Shadowy Attacks are Shadow damage), again leading to greatly reduced damage on the Voodoo Dolls.
While it is certainly possible to kill the boss with Paladin, Druid, or Death Knight tanks, these classes are at a disadvantage, since they have no reliable way to ensure that each Shadowy Attack is mitigated. In the case of Death Knights, Shadowy Attacks bypass their Mastery: Blood Shield absorption. Even though Blood Shield serves to absorb or soften subsequent melee attacks from Gara'jal, the overall survivability of Voodoo Dolls is lower than with a Warrior or Monk tank.
In addition to this, the tanks should be making regular use of their defensive cooldowns in order to mitigate the damage that the Voodoo Dolls take. Particularly, the tanks should watch out for times when their active mitigation is unavailable, or when some of the Voodoo Dolls are dangerously low on health.
Likewise, the Voodoo Dolls themselves must always be prepared to use defensive cooldowns if their health is low.
10.2.3. Spirit World Assignments and Strategy
Due to Frail Soul, you cannot have a single team assigned to entering the Spirit World. Indeed, a player can only enter the Spirit World every other Spirit Totem spawn.
In 10-man raids, you will probably have to implement spontaneous assignments, depending on who is turned into a Voodoo Doll. The reason for this is that out of the 8 players who can theoretically go into the Spirit World, 3 will have the Frail Soul debuff, and up to 2 others could have Voodoo Dolls. This means that the remaining 3 players will have to enter the Spirit World.
In 25-man, you have a bit more flexibility, and you can create some pre-determined assignments (two or three Spirit World teams, and a few back-ups for each).
Inside the Spirit World, things remain relatively unchanged. The only difference is that players inside the Spirit World can see and attack two of the tank's Severer of Souls adds. They should focus on killing these adds, generally, but depending on the tank's DPS, you can throttle down the amount of attention that DPS players give them.
11. Achievement: Sorry, Were You Looking for This?
The Sorry, Were You Looking for This? achievement is part of the Glory of the Pandaria Raider meta achievement. The achievement is both simple and easy to complete.
In order to complete the achievement, a raid member must right click and channel an Ancient Mogu Artifact, located the center of the Spirit World.
Even though channeling this will reduce that player's performance, this does not matter because you do not need to also defeat Gara'jal in the same attempt. Therefore, this can easily be completed while on a learning attempt or when a wipe has been decided.

Online Spanish Lessons From the Comfort of Your Home
Hola amigos y amigas,
I'm a professional native Spanish instructor with more than 10 years of experience teaching this beautiful language. I have worked with large local businesses and Spanish schools in Vancouver as well as in the United States.
My classes are dynamic, fun and very practical. These are some of the topics I teach:

- Aug 27, 2013 at 12:29PM
Thanks to Rachel Fesler-Schnitzer for "this opportunity to start a discussion" on community supported agriculture. Let's also consider the ways family-owned farms and those who purvey their produce support our community; it works both ways.
Medication provides benefits for adolescents | Letter to the Editor
- Aug 27, 2013 at 12:34PM
A comment recently made during a community discussion of methamphetamines must be addressed. It was stated that children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are prescribed Ritalin (methylphenidate), "a close cousin to amphetamines: Statistically, this puts them at risk for amphetamine addiction." That view is not supported by scientific research. As an addictions professional, I fear this will become the next Vashon "urban legend," with parents discontinuing medications that are profoundly helpfu

Newley refurbed roomPosted Aug 21, 2016
Pros: quiet and all the features needed for a holiday they are slowly renovating the place
Cons: staff one in particular was very rude and was a discredit to the place
great brand new refurbed room, close enough to town and quiet, was a good stay for a short break, only issue was a rude staff member who really should question why they work in a service industry, other than that the place was good.

Incredible value for the facilities you get.Posted Jul 18, 2016
It was almost as cheap as a motel, yet for a little more expensive, you get fantastic facilities, which include good dinning, incredible pools, spas, steam rooms and game rooms, and on top of that, a very decent room!

Lovely hotel with lots of extra activitiesPosted May 2, 2016
Pros: The room was comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly. Parking was ample, off street, under cover and safe.
Cons: There was a cigarette smell in the entry which was annoying as a non smoker but the main part of the room was fine. No microwave was disappointing
Location: We weren't in town long enough to really look around but the motel was close to the township but not noisy. Car wash right next door was handy
We unfortunately didn't stay long enough to make the most of what the Motel has to offer but we will be going back for a longer stay in the future as we were impressed with the facilities. The township also looks like it is worth a look around on the next visit
