Death Knight Tanking: Frost – Last week's post getting you up to level 60.
As I write this article, my Frost DK is currently sitting at level 71. The image below will update itself as the Armory information is updated though, so you may see him at a higher level in this picture when you read this.
Last week's post discussed getting up to level 60, your base spec as a Frost Tank, and the general tactics and rotations used for tanking. This time around we're going up to level 70 and will get a bit more focused on the actual tanking practice, and discuss branching out into the other trees to finish off our primary tanking requirements.
I mentioned last time that I've been using a two-hander while I tank, and people on Twitter requested information about Dual Wielding instead, so that too will be included.
General Tanking Information: Weapons
When I mentioned on Twitter that I was posting about tanking with a Frost DK I had a lot of people ask about dual wielding. At the time I had only tried two-handed tanking and was doing well with it. As I know it's a question that needs answering though, I went ahead and took a shot at it to see what kind of results I got.
Dual Wield Tanking
I did a lot of searching for decent weapons that I could dual wield that would prove more beneficial than the sword that you leave the DK starting area with (and for the record, I do urge you to take the Sword rather than the Axe if you plan on tanking). The best I could find were ones that were rather easy to obtain, Adamantite Rapier (+15 Stamina, +16 Dodge Rating). They are crafted weapons from a Blacksmith, and my Death Knight is a blacksmith himself so he crafted his own. They require 12 Adamantite Bars (which is 24 Adamantite Ore) if you want to get some crafted for yourself.
The Rapiers require level 66 to use, so you have a few levels to gain before you can switch to them, but your DK sword or a solid two-hand drop from an instance should work just fine until then. The Rapiers aren't all that great from a damage perspective, but they provide a nice boost to avoidance/mitigation that will help with your survival.
After crafting the rapiers I opened a Death Gate to Ebon Hold so that I could make use of my Runeforging skill to apply the Rune of Swordbreaking to them:
Rune of Swordbreaking Affixes your one-handed rune weapon with a rune that increases Parry chance by 2% and reduces the duration of Disarm effects by 50%. The Parry chance stacks on the two weapons giving +4% overall, but the disarm reduction does not stack with itself.
Two Handed Tanking
I replaced the DK starting sword with the Shaarde the Greater which drops off of Tavarok in the Auchindoun: Mana Tombs instance. I did just fine using Shaarde, but I didn't especially notice any great increase in my tanking ability while using it over the DK sword. If it happens to drop for you then grats on a new sword, and if it doesn't then don't sweat it.
At level 68 I left Outlands and hit up Borean Tundra in Northrend where I replaced Shaarde with the Axe of Frozen Death (+37 Strength, +54 Stamina, +28 Hit, +43 Crit), which is pictured above (at an odd angle). I now use this axe for when I'm tanking small groups or bosses that are not heavily melee focused, and for when I am questing. I am also trying out the Rune of the Fallen Crusader rather than Swordshattering (4% Parry, -50% disarm duration).
Rune of the Fallen Crusader Affixes your rune weapon with a rune that has a chance to heal you for 3% and increase total Strength by 15% for 15 sec.
Axe of Frozen Death is a reward for a three person group quest in Borean Tundra. The quest chain leading up to it isn't very long, so you can get it pretty soon after arriving in Northrend, but the quest was beyond my capability to solo as Frost. I managed to get the guy down to 20% health twice, but after he killed me for the sixth time I enlisted the help of another DK in the area and we took him down after two tries.
(My thanks to @Tarinae, @Shawndra, @schwarzwald, @OreoNation, @TheAllianceGuy, @MvPruett, @mageic, @adlib421, @VariantAvatar, @krizhek, and @Nochecazador on Twitter for helping me get the link to Shaarde the Greater since I put this part in blog while I was at work where I cannot access Wowhead.com)
Dual Wielding vs. Two Handed
As far as holding threat goes, I didn't notice a significant difference between the two styles. DW was a bit better on groups of trash while 2H was a bit better on bosses. I did have a little trouble tanking one boss as DW, but at that time I was still getting used to managing my procs and kept forgetting to add Obliterate to my rotation. In that fight I switched over to Shaarde after losing threat a second time and had no problems the rest of that encounter. I think this was probably a situation of Tank failure more so than a difference in the actual weapons though.
The more comfortable I get with tanking as a DK and the more I get used to my abilities, the more I begin to lean towards DW instead of 2H. With limited weapon choices in Outlands I believe that you're best bet is to do what I did and stick to dual wielding during trash pulls and using a heavy 2H for bosses. Progressing into Northrend though, finding a pair for slow weapons to DW will give you the highest damage and most threat.
While the damage from Howling Blast is not impacted by your weapon choices, your damage and threat are tied into your weapons. The Threat of Thassarian talent causes Obliterate (and other attacks) to attack with both weapons when you use it, and the Rime talent gives your Obliterate a 15% chance to reset the cooldown on Howling Blast and make it rune free for your next cast. The somewhat hidden benefit when those two are mixed together is that both of your weapons used during Obliterate have individual chances to proc Rime, so you get two rolls for that 15% chance each time you use Obliterate when dual wielding.
Since my choice of good one-handed weapons right now is fairly limited I will continue switching between the two styles, but as I find better options I'm almost positive at this point that I will end up dual wielding at level 80, and quite possibly sooner than that if I can find some weapons that don't suck.
In the end Frost Tanks can do just fine whether they're using 2H, DW-Fast, or DW-Slow. If you like to use dual diseases then you'll be stronger if you decide on dual wielding slow weapons, while using the single disease method will work better with 2H or DW-fast.
If you are going to do a single disease style, then you'll probably be a little bit better off either doing 2H or DW with fast weapons. If you want two diseases then you'll want either DW with slow weapons, or 2H. DW with fast or slow weapons work in either case, but fast shines more in single disease where slow shines more in two diseases.
Frost Tanking Spec
I'm going to point out one change I made to the spec from last week's post, and that is replacing Acclimation 1/3 with Lichborne 1/1. That may get changed as I get into Northrend dungeons, but for Outlands, especially in the upper 60's you need all the fear removal you can get. Even with the Human racial and the PvP trinket you get from the DK starting area, you still don't have enough fear removal to take care of every encounter.
Rather than paying for a respec I just added a point into Lichborne and was at only 4/5 Anticipation when I actually hit level 70. But if you haven't started your DK yet then I would suggest you go with this build instead of what I had before. If you have already followed the previous article's advice, then don't worry about it too much as it worked out just fine for me.
For the best survival at end game you will end up having points in Acclimation anyway, so it's not bad to leave it the way it is if you have already spent your points as I suggested in the previous post. Acclimation is not going to help in every encounter or even every dungeon/raid, but there are certain encounters (Twink Valks anyone?) where the resistance offered can be significant. Of course, at end game you probably will not be using Lichborne since it's more geared towards PvP, so the choice is yours whether you want more survivability leveling up with a respect at end game, or if you just want to deal with trouble now to save that shiny gold coin later down the road.
Lichborne 1/1: Draw upon unholy energy to become undead for 10 sec. While undead, you are immune to Charm, Fear and Sleep effects.
Blade Barrier 5/5: Whenever your Blood Runes are on cooldown, you gain the Blade Barrier effect, which decreases damage taken by 5% for the next 10 sec.
Anticipation 5/5: Increases your Dodge chance by 5%.
Pay special attention to that conditional statement at the beginning of Blade Barrier's effect. Both of your Blood Runes need to be on cooldown before its effect happens, so be sure to use those runes when they're available so that you don't short yourself on one of your primary defenses.
Glyph of Obliterate: [Major] Increased the damage of your Obliterate ability by 20%.
Glyph of Unbreakable Armor: [Major] Increases the total armor granted by Unbreakable Armor to 30%.
Glyph of Howling Blast: [Major] Your Howling Blast ability now infects your targets with Frost Fever.
Glyph of Frost Strike: [Major] Reduces the cost of your Frost Strike by 8 Runic Power.
Glyph of Disease: [Major] Your Pestilence ability now refreshes disease durations on your primary target back to their maximum duration.
Glyph of Pestilence: [Minor] Increases the radius of your Pestilence effect by 5 yards.
Glyph of Raise Dead: [Minor] Your Raise Dead spell no longer requires a reagent.
Glyph of Blood Tap: [Minor] Your Blood Tap no longer causes damage to you.
I switched my glyphs up a bit from last time so that I'm now using Howling Blast and Disease. I still like the use of Disease for leveling/questing purposes since I do so in an AoE grinding style, but Disease is not so much a need as it is a convenience. For pure tanking purposes, Disease is actually a fairly poor choice.
Since I prefer the Two Disease approach to tanking, Obliterate becomes more and more useful to me. Howling Blast is a big contribution to both damage and threat, and it shines really more in a single disease build than a dual disease, though it is still useful for either one.
My current plan is to replace Disease with Obliterate, and hang on to Howling Blast for the time being. I am trying to decide whether I will be better of with Frost Strike or Unbreakable Armor for level 80, and there's a fair chance I might take both of them and drop Howling Blast when I get there. I'll certainly keep you informed on that part as I go along.
New Spells: 61-70
We get some new spells/abilities in the level range that are key to our tanking abilities (hello Taunt). We also get some that are just plain useful (Path of Frost).
At level 61 we get one of our big attacks, Obliterate. This spell does good damage and its damage is increased when its target is diseased. Normally using this spell consumes the diseases you have on the target, but thanks to our Annihilation talent that is no longer the case. In addition, our Rime talent gives Obliterate a 15% chance to reset the cooldown on Howling Blast and cause our next Howling Blast to consume no runes.
You also get Path of Frost at 61 which allows you and your group to walk on water. Any damage at all breaks the effect, but you can instantly cast it again as long as you have a Frost Rune available. A special note on this one, it essentially makes water into solid ground, so unless you want people to hate you it's not a good idea to cast this when you know your group is jumping down into a body of water expecting to live and then they end up dead instead.
At level 62 we get one of our signature tanking skills, Icebound Fortitude which makes you immune to stuns and reduces damage taken for 12 seconds.
At 64 we receive Blood Tap which damages us for 6% of our health (so the more you have the more it hurts) in exchange for converting a Blood Rune into a Death Rune (which can be used as any type) and ending its cooldown. It's great for when your runes are on cooldown and you need some emergency threat or damage. Most often I find myself using this ability either for a Blood Boil or Death Strike, though I have used it for a necessary Pestilence, Hungering Cold, Obliterate, and Howling Blast as well. Be sure to use it when at least one of your Blood Runes is used, preferably both, and then use it as needed.
When we reach 65 we finally get our actual taunt, Dark Command. It's a single target taunt with an 8 second cooldown, but since our only other taunt has a ridiculous cooldown on it, we'll take this one gladly.
Also at 65 we get our first real party buff in Horn of Winter. It increases Strength and Agility for your group for two minutes. It has no cost, so you might as well keep it active at all times as long as you're somewhere that fighting can take place.
At 66 we get our first "oh crap" button in the form of Death Pact. This spell allows you to sacrifice your Ghoul which instantly heals you for 40% of your health. At this point I usually don't bother bringing out the ghoul unless I intend to sac him in the first place and instead just have him reserved for boss fights or emergency heals. If you use it like I do then be sure to remember that the GCD is in effect after summoning the ghoul, so you have 1.5 seconds between the summon and the heal, so don't wait until the last second to use it.
At 67 we get a nice threat booster from Rune Strike. It's a bit of an odd attack as it can only be used after you dodge or parry an attack, but on your next attack after using it you hit the target with a high threat attack instead of a normal auto-attack. The best way I've found to use this one is to just macro it to my attack keys and spam them in between attacks to use them whenever they're available. Of course if you use this method of macro then you want to either be spamming the next attack you plan on making or one that you know the required runes are on cooldown.
Moving on up to level 68 we find Anti-Magic Shell. It costs 20 RP to cast it, but you'll receive 75% damage reduction from spells in return, and the damage absorbed will grant you RP as well. It has a short duration and a long cooldown, so make sure you use it wisely.
We finally finish up our Presences at level 70 with Unholy Presence. Your movement speed gets increased by 15%, as does your melee haste. I primarily use this one for the increased movement while I'm questing and such, but the melee haste is a big deal too and it's definitely noticeable at this level. If you fight in Unholy Presence you'll find your runes going on cooldown a lot faster than usual, which means you'll wait longer in between special attacks each time you burn through your runes and have to wait for them to cool down.
Learning the Rune and Runic Power System
This section probably should have been brought up in the first post, but I didn't think about it when I was writing it, so you'll have to settle for this post instead.
Knowing how your Runes and Runic Power work is going to be the overall deciding factor on whether you can fill your role or have your name listed amongst the thousands of Death Knoobs that plague the servers today. Do you want to have a clue as to what you doing, how you're doing it, and why? If so, then continue on. If not, then turn around and bend over, and I'll show you what right where you can stick your rune blade.
All DKs have six runes, two of each type (Blood, Frost, Unholy), and they provide us with our primary resource for using our abilities. There is a fourth Rune type called the Death Rune which can be used as any type of rune you want it to be. The Frost and Unholy trees both have talents that allow you to convert your Blood Runes into Death Runes, and the Blood tree has a talent that converts your Frost and Unholy Runes into Death Runes.
For describing the use of runes I'm going to use just the first letter of the tree to describe them, so we all have: BB FF UU
As a Frost Tank we're going to use our Blood Runes (B) individually, and for the most part our Frost and Unholy Runes will be used in pairs (FU). The paired FU runes may be in a single ability such as Obliterate and Howling Blast, or individually by use of Icy Touch (F) and Plague Strike (U). Our Death Runes will be used for whatever spell happens to be the most important at the time, which we'll get into details on a bit later.
Frost generates Death Runes from the Blood of the North talent, which makes your Blood Strike and Pestilence spells cause your next Blood Rune to proc as a Death Rune instead.
To borrow a term from the Comprehensive Guide to Death Knight Tanking (best DK Tank resource I found), a "Rune Blackout" occurs when all six of your runes have been used and are on cooldown. During these blackouts is when you want to use your Runic Power so that you can fill in the gap before your runes come back up and you can get back to business.
When you have a large pool of RP you want to spend it on Frost Strike to pump out additional damage and threat on a single target, but you want to reserve 20 RP at all times so that you can use Rune Strike, which is a big buff to your threat.
Tanking Trash
You might notice that I've made an adjustment to the rotation here, switching Blood Boil and Howling Blast. The reason for that is because now that we have the Blade Barrier talent from the Blood tree, we need to get rid of those Blood Runes early on to activate the talent.
I also removed the AoE rotation as I've decided I'll have another post dedicated to DK AoE that will cover that. With this post we're sticking strictly to tanking and since you never know what crazy things might happen in a dungeon you'll need to get used to thinking on your feet in those situation anyway rather than trying to rely on remembering some random rotation you read on my blog.
I have also broken the rotation down into two "sets". Each set is a cooldown of your runes, so each set rotates through the use of all of your runes.
First Rune Set: Icy Touch (F), Plague Strike (U), Pestilence (B), Blood Strike (B), Howling Blast (FU), Frost Strike (60+ RP only)
Second Rune Set: Obliterate (FU), [Howling Blast if Rime procs], Obliterate (Death Runes), [Howling Blast if Rime procs], (decision time)
The First Rune Set establishes your diseases, spreads them around, and then hits with an AoE to solidify threat on the group. It also uses both Pestilence and Blood Strike to convert our Blood Runes into Death Runes to allow for more Obliterates and Howling Blasts in the second set. Frost Strike will use up extra RP if you have 60 or more, otherwise it should be ignored in favor of using Rune Strike.
You have the option of using Obliterate instead of Howling Blast at the end of the first set in hope of a Rime proc, but with AoE being the staple that most of your DPS are likely to use you probably want to get some more AoE threat than just your diseases. If you're in a guild run where you know people will work with you then go for Obliterate, but if you're in a PUG then just play it safe and Howling Blast for now.
The Second Rune Set is where we dish out our serious damage and also where our Rotation becomes our "Rotation". Obliterate will hit our primary target and has a chance (two chances if dual wielding) of a Rime proc if it hits. Those Rime procs are what we're hoping for each time we use Obliterate. If you get a Rime proc, then fire off a Howling Blast. If you don't, then use another Obliterate, and so on. If Obliterate hits, then both weapons hit and you get two rolls for a Rime proc. If Obliterate misses, then both weapons miss so no Rime procs for you.
We also have "(decision time)" in that second set, where you need to make the call on what to do next. You can either use your remaining FU runes for another Obliterate, or you can use Icy Touch/Plague Strike and then use your Blood Tap ability to refresh a Blood Rune as a Death Rune and use it for Pestilence. If you go for Obliterate then you risk having both of your diseases fall off. If you go for the IT/PS then you're only using two Obliterates, and if neither of those gave you a Rime proc then you're low on AoE damage/threat and are going to have to make up for that in the third set by using Blood Boil as either one or both of your Blood Runes which means they will not become Death Runes in your fourth set, which means you're rotation just went out the window.
You also have the option of using a straight Howling Blast in place of one or the other of those Obliterates, relying on straight ability uses rather than procs. A proc is always a gamble, but if you're dual wielding then you have a higher chance of getting those procs. If you take the chance on the Obliterates, then chances are you're going to get at least one Rime proc out of the deal and you should easily maintain threat. If you don't take the chance on the Obliterates, then you'll probably still hold your threat, but you won't be tapping your potential at all.
Tanking Bosses
Now that we have our hard hitting abilities, it's time to change up the boss rotation as well.
Boss Set One: Icy Touch (F), Plague Strike (U), Blood Strike (B), Blood Strike (B), Obliterate (FU), Frost Strike (60+ RP only)
Boss Set Two: Obliterate (FU), [Howling Blast if Rime procs], Obliterate (FU), [Howling Blast if Rime procs], Obliterate (FU), [Howling Blast if Rime procs], Frost Strike, Frost Strike
I like to establish a nice burst of crit when I open on a boss, and the best way to do that is to us your Deathchill buff which gives you a guaranteed crit with your next Icy Touch or Howling Blast. Deathchill requires a Frost Rune to cast it, but the buff lasts for 30 seconds. So use it and then wait for your Frost Rune to cooldown before moving in to attack. You don't have to do this if you don't want to, but I wouldn't want to blow a Frost Rune in the middle of combat, so I use it here instead.
If you are using the Glyph of Howling Blast, and the boss has adds, then open up with it and replace the first Blood Strike with Pestilence. Otherwise open with Icy Touch instead and follow the rotation above.
Blood Strike hits pretty hard, gaining an extra 25% damage from both diseases being applied, but the big reason why we're using it is to convert those Blood Runes into Death Runes for round two where we can lay down some serious Obliteratious Hate. (Yes, I just made up the word "Obliteratious".)
If you have over 60 RP, then go ahead and hit the boss with a Frost Strike as well. If you don't, then ignore it for now and save your RP for Rune Strikes to generate extra threat on the boss each time you Dodge or Parry his attacks.
When your diseases are getting ready to fall off, go ahead and reapply them, make use of Blood Strike whenever your Blood Runes are available to convert them into Death Runes for the next set, keep your RP down around 20-40 by making use of Frost Strike, take advantage of Rune Strike every chance you get, and don't forget your other buffs (Unbreakable Armor, Icebound Fortitude) as well.
After level 65 we finally get our Taunt, Dark Command, which should be able to handle any threat situations that arise, and Death Grip is a good backup if by some poor roll of the dice it actually misses.
I already mentioned it in the New Spells section above, but I'll list it here just to bring it back to mind. At level 66 you get access to the most potent heal in the DK arsenal – Death Pact. It requires you to sacrifice your ghoul to cast it, but it restores 40% of your total hit points when you use it. It's one of the best heals in the game overall, surpassed only by the Paladin's Lay on Hands spell.
Addons and Macros
You may want to get an addon to keep track of your procs, especially Rime (or Freezing Fog, as the proc's buff is called).
The addon that I use for my scrolling combat text, Parrot, is able to set sound notifications to specific triggers, one of which is Freezing Fog (Rime). If that's something you're interested in then you may want to give it a shot.
For those that need a visible queue you'll want to use something more like Power Auras Classic, which I have installed and uninstalled a few times now. I love the concept, but don't care so much for the follow through on the addon, but I'm finding that the audio isn't quite good enough for me since I like to have other sounds on at the same time as well as audio warnings from Deadly Boss Mods, so I've installed PAC once again and will see how I like it with the DK.
There are also a number of addons that you can use to monitor your Rune cooldowns as well as your Runic Power. I can think of five of them right off the top of my head, but which one you use is a matter of preference so you'll have to decide which one for yourself. There are similar addons that monitor the DoT timers of your diseases if you'd care to use one of those. I'm not so big on that myself, so I don't use one, but they are available if you wish to make use of them.
The only Macro that I'd like to bring to your attention right now is the one that you'll use for your Rune Strike ability, which you can tie into as many macros as you want.
/cast Blood Strike
/cast Rune Strike
It's that simple. Just replace Blood Strike with whatever other spell(s) you have on your action bar and you can spam all you want in between attacks.
Some of the addons I've already mentioned are also capable of notifying you of when you have dodged or parried an attack, and they can help save your fingers some effort if you would rather use Rune Strike with an addon than simply spamming buttons.
Alternate (Recommended) Spec for Level 60
I have updated last week's post to include this as well, but just in case you aren't in the habit of checking my old posts, here it is anyway. This is a revised spec for level 60. After spending five days doing almost nothing but running random dungeons and leveling my professions I needed to make a change.
The change isn't huge but it is significant, especially for the mid-to-upper sixties. I removed the single point in Acclimation and replaced it with Lichborne, which makes you immune to Charm, Fear, and Sleep effects for 10 seconds. When you run randoms in your 60s you are going to run into a LOT of Fear effects. Enough so that my human racial and my PvP trinket were not enough to take off all of the fear at times.
The magic-based damage reduction from Acclimation isn't bad, it just didn't provide enough benefit (especially with only one of the three possible points spent in it) for me to take it over Lichborne given how often I had to deal with fear and how seldom I had to deal with spell casters.
That being said, when you get to level 80 you'll find Lichborne to be almost worthless as its main purpose for end game is PvP rather than heroics or raiding. If you don't mind dealing with the fear while you're leveling then you can save yourself a respec and just go with Acclimation.

The Eclipse brush range is made from Russian Black Sable hair which offers the perfect balance between stiff and soft hair brushes. With slightly more body and snap than red sable, but softer than hog bristle, Eclipse black sable (also known as "fitch"), is ideal for subtle blending and fine glazing as it shows very little brush strokes. It is also highly resilient and responsive, making it perfect for lightly thinned or "let down" oil color.
This brush has a double-bodied handle which provides exceptional balance and comfort. It is sculpted to offer a balanced grip at the tail as well as below the ferrule making it perfect for both easel painting and "close in" work.
The double thick line provides extra durability, color carrying capacity, and offers a broad range of finely controlled working properties.
Due to inherent differences in computer monitors, colors displayed on this page may not accurately represent the actual color.

The Skyline girls breezed passed Stafford Tuesday night at their place 44-13. The expected tight showdown between the T-Bird boys and Stafford never materialized, however, and the Trojans closed out Skyline rather handily 86-61.
The Skyline girls breezed passed Stafford Tuesday night at their place 44-13. The expected tight showdown between the T-Bird boys and Stafford never materialized, however, and the Trojans closed out Skyline rather handily 86-61.
The girls game was basically over at the end of the first period, a 22-2 blitz by the Lady T-Birds pretty well dashing any hopes the Lady Trojans might have entertained. Skyline had previously drilled Stafford in the season's second game and this time the outcome was no different.
In the opening frame, the Thunderbirds employed an aggressive trapping defense and were able to convert numerous transition baskets. Their offense was also clicking against Stafford's zone defense in the half-court, sharpshooter Kaitlyn Stark nailing 12 of her game high 16 points in the frame.
In the second quarter, Skyline took off the press and played deliberately on offense with Stafford remaining in their zone. The Trojans fell even further behind in Q2 largely because they were colder than a glacier from the field. On one remarkable yet not altogether atypical possession, the Staffords managed to take 7 shots at the bucket from short range, and come away with nothing. It was 29-4 at halftime.
Alyssa Swonger hit a couple of buckets in the 3rd quarter to pace a balanced Skyline scoring attack. 41-9 Skyline.
Reserves manned the floor for Skyline in the running Q4, holding their own and hanging on for the 44-13 victory. Now 7-6, the Lady Thunderbirds travel to Burrton Friday for another HOPL match-up.
Davis 2-0-1/2-5; Flowers 1-0-0-2; Swonger 3-0-1/2-7; Richardson 2-0-0-4; Stark 3-2-4/5-16; Fisher 1-2-0-8; Tobin 1-0-0-2
In the boys game, each side had prevailed once in their previous meetings—Stafford early in the season, then Skyline in the more recent 54 Classic. Many were expecting to see a tight ballgame in what would be the rubber match of the series. It never happened.
Although Skyline jumped out to an early 6-0 lead, Stafford then went on a dominating 24-5 run over the rest of the stanza to open a 24-11 advantage after one period. Taking a page out of the Skyline playbook, the Trojans used pressure defense to force the T-Birds into numerous turnovers. Coupling that with hot shooting especially from behind the arc, Stafford was able to forge a big Q1 lead that they would never relinquish.
Trailing 40-24 after intermission, the T-Birds hoped to go on a run to get themselves back into the contest. A Skyline defensive lapse on Stafford's first possession and turnovers on their own first two possessions meant that the T-Birds lost even more ground right out of the second half starting gate and that was effectively the ballgame.
The score at that point was 47-24 Stafford and the differential would remain pretty constant for the balance of the contest. The Skyliners attempted to make runs, but their efforts would be short-circuited by their own offensive or defensive miscues down the stretch. The final tally was 86-61 Stafford.
Brandon Abbott had a nice game in a losing effort, accounting for 23 of the T-Bird points. Currently 1- 12, the Thunderbirds continue the campaign Friday at Burrton in an HOPL contest.
Gilpin 1-1-2/3-7; Little 0-2-0-6; Patterson 0-1-4/4-7; Hogan 0-0-2/2-2; Brandon Abbott 11-0-2/2-23; Weber 3-0-0/1-6; Holz 0-0-1/1-1; Lee 1-0-1/1-3; McComb 1-0-4/6-6

What if we, too, build momentum toward Nov. 16 being a Day for Tolerance in Ionia County?
In 1995, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed it was the United Nations Year for Tolerance. The General Assembly designated UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) as lead agency for that significant year. The assembly also adopted, in November of that year -- the 50th anniversary of the signature of UNESCO's Constitution -- the Declaration of the Principles of Tolerance.
UNESCO is all about building a culture of peace.
In proclaiming the declaration, it resolved "to take all positive measures necessary to promote tolerance in our societies, because tolerance is not only a cherished principle, but also a necessity for peace and for the economic and social advancement of all peoples."
What if we here in Ionia County marked something similar -- not a year, but a single day?
It is worth recalling here how the UN defined tolerance, and how it saw its resolution taking hold.
Article 1 - Meaning of tolerance
1.1 Tolerance is respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world's cultures, our forms of expression and ways of being human. It is fostered by knowledge, openness, communication and freedom of thought, conscience and belief. Tolerance is harmony in difference. It is not only a moral duty, it is also a political and legal requirement. Tolerance, the virtue that makes peace possible, contributes to the replacement of the culture of war by a culture of peace.
1.2 Tolerance is not concession, condescension or indulgence. Tolerance is, above all, an active attitude prompted by recognition of the universal human rights and fundamental freedoms of others. In no circumstance can it be used to justify infringements of these fundamental values. Tolerance is to be exercised by individuals, groups and States.
1.3 Tolerance is the responsibility that upholds human rights, pluralism (including cultural pluralism), democracy and the rule of law. It involves the rejection of dogmatism and absolutism and affirms the standards set out in international human rights instruments.
1.4 Consistent with respect for human rights, the practice of tolerance does not mean toleration of social injustice or the abandonment or weakening of one's convictions. It means that one is free to adhere to one's own convictions and accepts that others adhere to theirs. It means accepting the fact that human beings, naturally diverse in their appearance, situation, speech, behaviour and values, have the right to live in peace and to be as they are. It also means that one's views are not to be imposed on others.
Article 2 - State level
2.1 Tolerance at the State level requires just and impartial legislation, law enforcement and judicial and administrative process. It also requires that economic and social opportunities be made available to each person without any discrimination. Exclusion and marginalization can lead to frustration, hostility and fanaticism .
2.2. In order to achieve a more tolerant society, States should ratify existing international human rights conventions, and draft new legislation where necessary to ensure equality of treatment and of opportunity for all groups and individuals in society.
2.3 It is essential for international harmony that individuals, communities and nations accept and respect the multicultural character of the human family. Without tolerance there can be no peace, and without peace there can be no development or democracy.
2.4 Intolerance may take the form of marginalization of vulnerable groups and their exclusion from social and political participation, as well as violence and discrimination against them. As confirmed in the Declaration on Race and Racial Prejudice "All individuals and groups have the right to be different" (Article 1.2).
Article 3 - Social dimensions
3.1 In the modern world, tolerance is more essential than ever before. It is an age marked by the globalization of the economy and by rapidly increasing mobility, communication, integration and interdependence, large-scale migrations and displacement of populations, urbanization and changing social patterns. Since every part of the world is characterized by diversity, escalating intolerance and strife potentially menaces every region. It is not confined to any country, but is a global threat.
3.2 Tolerance is necessary between individuals and at the family and community levels. Tolerance promotion and the shaping of attitudes of openness, mutual listening and solidarity should take place in schools and universities, and through non-formal education, at home and in the workplace. The communication media are in a position to play a constructive role in facilitating free and open dialogue and discussion, disseminating the values of tolerance, and highlighting the dangers of indifference towards the rise in intolerant groups and ideologies.
3.3 As affirmed by the UNESCO Declaration on Race and Racial Prejudice, measures must be taken to ensure equality in dignity and rights for individuals and groups wherever necessary. In this respect, particular attention should be paid to vulnerable groups which are socially or economically disadvantaged so as to afford them the protection of the laws and social measures in force, in particular with regard to housing, employment and health, to respect the authenticity of their culture and values, and to facilitate their social and occupational advancement and integration, especially through education.
3.4 Appropriate scientific studies and networking should be undertaken to co-ordinate the international community's response to this global challenge, including analysis by the social sciences of root causes and effective countermeasures, as well as research and monitoring in support of policy-making and standard-setting action by Member States.
Article 4 - Education
4.1 Education is the most effective means of preventing intolerance. The first step in tolerance education is to teach people what their shared rights and freedoms are, so that they may be respected, and to promote the will to protect those of others.
4.2 Education for tolerance should be considered an urgent imperative; that is why it is necessary to promote systematic and rational tolerance teaching methods that will address the cultural, social, economic, political and religious sources of intolerance - major roots of violence and exclusion. Education policies and programmes should contribute to development of understanding, solidarity and tolerance among individuals as well as among ethnic, social, cultural, religious and linguistic groups and nations.
4.3 Education for tolerance should aim at countering influences that lead to fear and exclusion of others, and should help young people to develop capacities for independent judgement, critical thinking and ethical reasoning.
4.4 We pledge to support and implement programmes of social science research and education for tolerance, human rights and non-violence. This means devoting special attention to improving teacher training, curricula, the content of textbooks and lessons, and other educational materials including new educational technologies, with a view to educating caring and responsible citizens open to other cultures, able to appreciate the value of freedom, respectful of human dignity and differences, and able to prevent conflicts or resolve them by nonviolent means.
Article 5 - Commitment to action
We commit ourselves to promoting tolerance and non-violence through programmes and institutions in the fields of education science, culture and communication.
Article 6 - International Day for Tolerance
In order to generate public awareness, emphasize the dangers of intolerance and react with renewed commitment and action in support of tolerance promotion and education, we solemnly proclaim 16 November the annual International Day for Tolerance.
What about it, Ionia County: Nov. 16, 2013, as a community-wide Day for Tolerance, peace and non-violence?

Happy Birthday US Marine Corps. You do not look 236 years old. The Marines were born here in Philadelphia, PA ! The Marines were born 10-November-1775 @Tun_Tavern, Phialdelphia, PA.
Tun Tavern was a significant meeting place for other groups as well. In 1756, Benjamin Franklin used the tavern as a recruitment/gathering point for the Pennsylvania militia. The tavern later hosted a meeting of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, & the Continental Congress.
The US Marine Corps has an Illustrious History. Their motto is: Semper Fidelis, which is Latin for "Always Faithful". So when you hear their rallying cry (or welcoming shout), "Semper Fi", now you know what they mean.

State > Citizen Policy Tool > FL
In almost every state in the country, most candidates raise the bulk of their campaign money from a few individual donors who give them $1,000 or more, or from non-party organizations (such as corporations and labor unions), and political parties. It doesn't have to be that way. This tool will let you experiment to see how a few changes might alter the balance of money in each of the states.

Republicans choose Foley to run against Malloy in November
Gubernatorial candidate Tom Foley of Greenwich won the Republican primary Tuesday night and will face Gov. Dannel P. Malloy in a rematch on Nov. 4.
The Associated Press reported shortly after 10 p.m. that Foley had 43,322 votes while Senate Minority Leader John McKinney of Fairfield had collected 34,363 votes.
"Change is on the way," Foley said on arrival at Villa Rosa Pontelandolfo Club in Waterbury. "Dan Malloy has had his chance. Change is coming."
Foley said to an audience of about 200 people that Malloy has had four years to fix things and that "most of the things under his leadership have actually gotten worse."
"Connecticut families deserve better," Foley said.
Republicans must stop the Democrats from driving up the cost of living, increasing taxes, energy costs and health care costs, Foley said.
There is a lot of work to be done to repair roads and help all children in Connecticut get a good education.
"Pride and prosperity in Connecticut aren't that far away, but they are just in a different direction," Foley said.
Foley was joined Tuesday night by his wife, Leslie Fahrenkopf Foley, and son Tom Foley Jr.
He thanked Republicans for their strong endorsement and said that he had spoken with McKinney.
Foley, who lost to Malloy in 2010 by 6,000 votes, won the endorsement of delegates at the State Republican Convention in May at Mohegan Sun. McKinney, who represents Fairfield, earned enough votes to qualify for a primary.
During the campaign for the primary, McKinney emphasized his experience in state government, and Foley resumed his 2010 theme of being a political outsider.
McKinney arrived at his campaign's results watch party at the Local Kitchen and Beer Bar in his hometown of Fairfield after watching the results come in with his family.
"I have been honored and in love with every day of public service," McKinney said after telling his supporters that he had called Foley to concede the race. "But I have seen Connecticut go in the wrong direction. Connecticut has gone in the wrong direction under this governor, and that's why I got into this race."
But, McKinney said, Foley ran a better campaign and will be a formidable opponent for Malloy in November. In his concession speech, McKinney attacked Malloy and threw his full support behind Foley.
"We need to elect a new governor," he said. "That governor needs to be Tom Foley."
He later said that he and Foley, despite their sometimes contentious primary campaign, are on the same page.
"Our job, when running in a primary, is to take small differences and accentuate them," McKinney said. "At the end of the day, Tom and I agree on a lot more than we disagree, and we certainly are a lot farther from where Dan Malloy is."
McKinney, who chose not to run for re-election to his state Senate seat, said he plans to spend more time with his family and take his son off to college in a few weeks.
"I've always envisioned my life in public service, but I don't know what (form) that will take," he said. "I'm not even going to focus on anything other than helping elect Republicans this November."
When asked if he would accept a job in a potential Foley administration, McKinney said that his job is going to be getting Republicans elected in November and has not given much thought to what he wants to pursue after the general election.
Fairfield Republican Town Committee Chairman Jamie Millington told the gathered supporters around 9:30 p.m. that he has known McKinney his entire life and called Tuesday night's defeat "bittersweet."
The crestfallen crowd applauded, though, when Millington assured them that McKinney "has a future ahead of him."
McKinney was considered the underdog to Foley. Throughout the primary campaign, Foley and McKinney focused on their shared home region, Fairfield County, but also turned their attention to eastern Connecticut for votes.
In the week leading up to Tuesday's primary election, McKinney spent a relatively large amount of his time in the eastern half of the state, including Mystic, New London, Stonington, Pawcatuck, Lebanon, Hebron and Plainfield.
"We have been there a lot," McKinney told The Day on Monday. "It's an important part of the state for us. It's a part of the state where I probably had the least name recognition because of my service in southwestern Connecticut."
On Sunday, McKinney spent time shaking hands with folks at the Battle of Stonington bicentennial parade that brought thousands to Stonington borough. He was in New London last Wednesday to watch the Charles W. Morgan, the world's last wooden whaling ship, leave New London's City Pier and head back to Mystic Seaport. He also spent time at a local brewery in Pawcatuck to talk about growing small businesses in Connecticut and at Mystic Aquarium to discuss his plan to eliminate the income tax for filers who earn less than $75,000 annually.
But Foley won New London County by about 14 percentage points. McKinney carried only Fairfield County, where both he and Foley campaigned heavily on Monday and Tuesday.
McKinney, the youngest child of the late Congressman Stewart B. McKinney, was joined Tuesday night by his own three children, Matthew, Graysen and Kate. His fiancee, Kristin Fox, was also by his side as he addressed his campaign staff and supporters.
Connecticut Republican Party Chairman Jerry Labriola congratulated Foley for a "decisive victory" and commended McKinney for running in the primary. "It's been a healthy primary process and I am confident we will close ranks and unify against Malloy," Labriola said.
As of late Tuesday night, the primary for the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor was too close to call.

A startup incubator and a new Starbucks coffee shop are expected to open in Boulder's University Hill business district.
A Starbucks is in negotiations to open at the redevelopment that replaced Jones General Store. Mike Boyers, local developer and property owner, announced the lease negotiations Friday morning at a meeting involving Hill business owners and city officials.
The Starbucks is expected to be at 1350 College Ave. in the space briefly occupied by Zanitas Mexican Restaurant, Boyers said.
Starbucks operates a coffee shop at 1402 Broadway, off University Avenue. The University of Colorado acquired that property for $1.07 million in 2011.
Also unveiled at the meeting were plans to establish a 5,400-square-foot student-focused startup incubator.
The meeting was organized by Bonnie Dahl, co-owner of The Fitter and Yoyo's Frozen Yogurt, who aimed to generate discussion about the health and direction of the business district that sits west of CU.
Boyers -- who said he's invested roughly $25 million in the area during the past couple of years -- said he would be willing to contribute to seed funding to invest in efforts to spur activity and economic development on the Hill.
"I've got businesses up here that need more people," Boyers said.
During 2012, the Hill business district contributed $1.03 million in sales tax revenue to the city's coffers, a decline of 1.77 percent from the year before.
Business owners such as Mark Heinritz, co-owner of The Sink, expressed a desire for the city of Boulder to increase funding and support for the business district. Others suggested creating a "microdistrict" to transition the area into an arts district and a home for arts-related events.
"I think the Hill just needs a different opportunity," Heinritz said, echoing other business owners' concerns that the city did not follow through on intentions to help revitalize the area.
Recent discussions about potentially reforming the city's liquor licensing regulations could negatively affect businesses in the district that sits within 500 feet of CU, he added.
Limiting the options of what businesses can or cannot operate in the area could seriously harm the potential for economic growth, Heinritz said.
"My central concern is that doing anything with the 500-foot (liquor) rule is going to stamp the Hill as 'kids only,'" Heinritz said.
In a statement sent to the Camera following Friday's meeting, city officials said it will take a collaborative effort to bolster the Hill.
"The meeting was a very healthy and robust discussion about the many successes that have occurred on University Hill and an honest conversation about the work yet to be done to enhance the General Improvement District," Patrick von Keyserling, a city spokesman, said in the statement. "The city invested about $400,000 this year and is projecting a $425,000 investment in 2014 to continue partnerships with the residential and commercial districts, and improvements such as the road repair and waterline replacements on College Avenue.
"The vibrancy of University Hill is important to the community, and it requires a collaborative effort to address the challenges."
