- Summary: The dreaded Archdemon has been slain and the advance of the darkspawn halted by a lone, heroic Grey Warden. The kingdom rejoices, but at least one question remains: what happened to Morrigan? The sorceress joined the Wardens cause, but it is said her true purpose was not revealed until the eve of the last battle. She vanished into the shadows, and while rumors claimed she crossed over the mountains into Orlais no trace of her path could be found. She was never heard from again... until now. Nearly a year has passed since the Archdemon's death, and word has reached the Wardens that Morrigan has returned to Ferelden. She has been sighted in the southern wilderness where she was first encountered. Is it truly her? If it is, then why has is she here and what secret does she carry with her? The Warden heads into the forest to find out and tie up this last loose end once and for all.… Expand

Despite some small bugs and two somewhat open endings, Witch Hunt proves to be a fine DLC that should't disappoint any fan of the series. If you're a fan of the game and look forward to a decent conclusion to the fantasy saga told until now, look no further.
The tale of how you find Dragon Age's sparsely clothed mage is a decent one filled with personality and humor, and the combat encounters, as brief as they are, can be fun, but Witch Hunt ultimately doesn't provide enough substance to satisfy.
As an excuse to spend another mildly diverting evening in Ferelden, Witch Hunt does its job, but it's a functional offering rather than an inspiring one. Hamstrung by the piecemeal nature of Dragon Age DLC, and squandering a lot of the brilliantly constructed narrative from the full game, it's for completists only.
But as the last of Dragon Age's downloadable expansions, Witch Hunt closes out the story with more of a whimper than a bang. [Nov 2010, p.81]
Maybe if Morrigan's ending had been a satisfying one I would have been fine with paying for a 45 minute side quest through places I've already been but it wasn't-so I'm not.

Jun 19, 2011While this add-on is rather short it packs a punch in the long run of the story. What you get here is not some epic adventure, it is a short, few hour long add on which only costs a few dollars. If you are a hardcore DA fan you do not want to miss this tidbit of the story, which feels like it serves a huge purpose for later on in the story (DA3 perhaps?)… Expand
May 21, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay, so this is it. The Big One. the DLC so bad that it was awarded the Gamespot award for "Worst DLC to a good game." But is it really so?
First off, the plot: The point of this pack is for you, the player, to find Morrigan for a final face off. Along the way, you gain two temporary allies. Oh yeah, and your dog is back. There is that. Now, that is the entire plot, to find Morrigan and what it is that she plans. And yes, it actually leaves you with more questions with answers, but it also does do a fairly good job at giving you closure. That is, if you have romanced Morrigan. I'm sure if you haven't, than you would be missing out. The pack is also only two hours long, with maybe one side quest. However, given the focus, I'm not sure what else they could have done with it.
Gameplay: This is a pack for Dragon Age: Origins. Outside from a really cool end boss, there's not much that is different. But, then again, it's Dragon Age, so that's not a particularly bad thing.
Characters: Outside of your dog (who I don't need to say much about, because, well... he's a dog), the other two allies that join you are Ariane, an elf searching for Morrigan after the latter steal a sacred book from her tribe (which is never resolved, by the way), and Finn, a young mage who doesn't quite like life outside of the Tower of Magi, but nonetheless joins you on your quest. While these two do provide some humorus dialogue and funny moments, their personalities don't quite wonder beyond what I just told you. That being said, I would like to see them in a future installment, if nothing else to make them more well-rounded characters.
The verdict: I can see why this DLC dissapointed, seeing as how it not only promised a finale to Dragon Age, but was also centered around one of the most popular characters, AND how it was realeased the same day as Lair of the Shadow Broker, which was probably the best add-on for Mass Effect 2 (I thought Liara was kind of "meh" until I played that pack). But as for the worst DLC to a great game? No, I don't see it. True, it's flawed, and ture, BioWare is capable of doing better. But for what it is, a DLC meant to serve as a definite ending to DA:O, it's not that bad. There are some funny moments, an incredible final boss (which admittedly is pretty easy, but I digress), and, if you so choose, an emotional closing scene between the Warden and Morrigan. And, it promises something big will happen in the future of Thedas, something in which the Warden, Morrigan, and their son will play a part in. It could have been a great DLC, but for what it is, it's not terrible. I just wish that they could have brought up the thread in this game in Dragon Age 2. Let's hope Dragon Age 3, at least.… Expand
Dec 13, 2012Overall a really forgettable DLC that seems to only pander to those who wanted more closure regarding Morrigan. The mission itself isn't bad, it just feels a bit out of place and needless. I really would only recommend this DLC to those who chose Morrigan as their Romance option. Everyone else, can give it a miss.… Expand
Oct 7, 2010The Good: Finn and Ariane, the new companions who join the Warden on this adventure, are interesting and amusing. Their dialogue is the highlight of this DLC.
The Meh: Combat is boring and unchallenging; the sole new creature comes from the development of DA2. Areas are all reused from Origins and Awakening. This gives the whole experience an air of the tired and predictable. It really doesn't feel like a lot of effort was put into the DLC.
The Bad: It is extremely short. Also, for a DLC that was billed to be about Morrigan, and offered the chance to resolve the Warden's situation with her and gain answers, it failed woefully. On release, it was bugged so as not to recognise all the decisions the Warden made at the end of Origins (so Morrigan would react as if your actions had been different to what you actually did, in many cases). The bug has since been fixed, however. Only a tiny proportion of the game's already minuscule play length were spent with Morrigan at the end, and they were very unsatisfying to my (female) Warden, providing no closure whatsoever. (Male Wardens who romanced Morrigan do get a chance for closure, but I guess I was just unlucky enough to play the "wrong" gender and romance the "wrong" companions?)… Expand
Nov 24, 2014Completely unsatisfying. My main character from Dragon Age: Origins romanced Morrigan, so I was really looking forward to some closure on multiple loose ends. Boy did I not find it. Witch Hunt is boring, full of recycled material and not even worth the few dollars I spend on it. Goddammit.… Expand

What started out as a routine bedtime ritual turned into a horrific twist of fate all because allegedly, someone was not paying attention.
A 2009 Orion Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE) bus traveling westbound on Fulton Avenue near Hofstra University crashed into a house after its driver tried to avoid hitting a pedestrian, police explained during a press briefing on Wednesday, Nov. 28. The bus, containing 11 passengers, killed David Granados, 6, and injured his 7-year-old brother inside the home last Tuesday at 9:15 p.m.
The brothers were transported to Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola. Granados was pronounced dead at 10:20 p.m., while his brother was treated for injuries to his arms, police stated.
The 10-year veteran bus driver, male, 50, honked several times at the 35-year-old pedestrian who crossed at an unmarked location in the four-lane road, police said. The bus hit the Hempstead man crossing north before the vehicle veered right and slammed into the two-story dwelling. Nassau County Police Inspector Kenneth Lack would not confirm nor deny if the pedestrian would be charged in the incident.
Eight of the bus passengers were injured, according to police. Police said that three adults and two children were upstairs while four adults and three children were downstairs at the time of the accident. The pedestrian was transported to Nassau University Medical Center.
The home is near a four-lane section of the street at the end of Nassau Place. A traffic light is directly in front of the house near a three-way intersection.
"Generally, you would want to cross at a light with a crosswalk in an area where people are expecting to see pedestrians," Lack stated. "In this particular area, in the vicinity of Tennessee Avenue and Nassau Place, there is no crosswalk."
The 6-year-old was struck by debris, police said. Authorities confirmed that there's "no apparent criminality" but the investigation is continuing.
"There is no reason to believe at all that the driver was intoxicated or speeding," Lack said. "[The pedestrian] was unresponsive to several attempts by the bus driver to blow the horn."
Lack was unsure if the man noticed the bus at all. He stated further that the pedestrian suffered multiple rib fractures, a fractured right clavicle and skull fractures. Police declined to say if the man was intoxicated.
"That is part of the investigation and I can't really comment on that right now," said Lack.
A statement from NICE said they are cooperating with police and have dedicated a team to investigate the crash. The bus was impounded for brake and safety checks, according to police.
Attempts by the Floral Park Dispatch & Three Village Times to speak to the Granados family outside the home were unsuccessful.

Buckley Country Day School recently presented its fall awards, honoring the school's top student-athletes for the fall season. One of those standouts is Floral Park's Vanessa Foy, who was named as the Most Valuable Player for the girls 5/6 Red soccer team.
"It is always great to celebrate and honor our wonderful student-athletes and coaches who work so hard during the season," said Roney Eford, Buckley Country Day School's director of athletics. "All of our student-athletes should be extremely proud of their accomplishments."
Friday, 21 November 2014 00:00
At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, residents and community members joined with the Floral Park American Legion to honor veterans at the annual Veteran's Day ceremonies at Memorial Park, following a march down Tulip Avenue to the park with the members of the veterans of the Legion post, American Legion Auxiliary members, Sons of the American Legion, Boy and Cub Scouts from Troops 482 and 678 and local officials.
During the ceremony, a plaque was dedicated in memory of General Kazimierz Pulaski and others of Polish heritage who have served in the U.S. military. The plaque dedication was led by members of the Polish American Congress, Long Island Division, President Grzegorz Worma and Honorary President Richard Brzozowski. An invocation was delivered by Father Peter Rozek of St. Hedwig Church, followed by a POW-MIA ceremony by Post 334 Vice Commander Matthew Cacciatore.

Lately the Drupal Gardens team has been busy adding several highly-requested mega-features. A mega-feature is a feature so large, some companies build entire products based on that feature. Webforms is the most recent mega-feature we have added. Since mega-features can be complicated, we invested hundreds of design hours and thousands of engineering hours to make webforms easy-to-use.
As I discussed in my previous screencast, Drupal site building workflow involves a separate development, staging, and production environment. The different environments use different databases, generally on different database servers since you do not want your testing activities to impact your production site. Traditionally this means you need to juggle multiple Drupal settings.php files containing your database credentials and manually configure database replication and failover yourself.
Greece hasn't had an easy ride lately. Through the financial crisis and collapse of public sector funding and wages, many young Greeks have suddenly lost their prospective career path. The trash collection and public transportation workers have been striking, meaning not only will you have to walk to work, you might have to avoid gigantic piles of trash, ironically decorated with Christmas lights, along the way. To add insult to injury, it snowed the day I arrived - a rare event - and many of the smaller roads in the mountains were closed.
It would be easy to feel held down in such an environment; not so the Greek Drupal community. The buzz and energy at this weekend's DrupalCamp Athens was palpable, and one could taste the optimism as plans were made for testing Drupal 7, holding translation sprints, and sharing resources on finding venture capital for startups.
I wanted to show how so-called "non-coders" can make significant contributions to the Drupal project. Probably the quickest way to make friends with a module maintainer is to help out in the issue queue. You can also help out with triage on some of the busiest projects. This requires no coding at all. (Check out the Views bug squad!) After triage, the next things you can do are:
Previously in Part 1 - I described how you can simply download and test your favorite modules to make sure they are working in Drupal 7. Even simple modules like "Environment Indicator" have alpha versions available for Drupal 7. That project has no issues for 7.x version. But has it been fully tested? Give it a whirl! If you find a bug, then say so.
In this next part, I have 2 videos which will show your how I apply and test a patch with a GUI; then how I create a new patch. Now we'll look at patches: applying, testing and submitting.
Does the word "patch" sound mysterious to you? Never had a chance to "apply a patch"? or "Reroll a patch"? Or possibly even submit a new one?
Patches are text files they have instructions indicating differences with lines preceeded by a "-" to indicate that a line will be deleted, and a "+" sign to indicate a line will be added. This set of instructions is saved, instead of just making the changes directly. This means you can pass along this fix. By sharing this fix, other people can apply this patch and get the same fix.
When we say "don't hack core" in Drupal, it means don't change the files directly. You can however write neccessary patches, apply and share them. Patches are written to fix a bug, but sometimes can introduce new problems. Because of that, they need to be tested. And we'll see how to do that.
Drupal site building often involves moving a site from one environment to another: from a local development environment to a staging server on the web to a full production cluster. This short screencast shows how to export a site from Drupal Gardens and import that site into Acquia Hosting.
Thank goodness I only have black socks in my drawer. Otherwise I'd walk around with black and blue mixed and never notice! To say that design isn't my forté would be missing the point. I can sum up most of what I know about CSS in one line: border: solid red 1px; It's called "The Rob", and it's what you do to an element to see if you've selected it correctly. Given these limitations, I usually leave designing websites to those who can. Whenever in need, I usually ask someone I know to help out.
border: solid red 1px;
Drupal 7 RC 1 needs testers. And now more than ever, your favorite modules need testing too. As Moshe wrote yesterday, they're here to collect on the D7CX pledge. This is a great way that a new Drupal user can make a significant contribution, and make some friends in the process :)
I was amazed at the most recent DrupalCamp in Ireland that some people I spoke to weren't trying out Drupal 7 yet. I've been using Gardens so much, I adore D7 and get all itchy when I use D6. Come in, the water's fine!
Well, except that many of your favorite modules aren't quite ready yet. Many module maintainers took the D7CX pledge to be ready for the release of Drupal 7. That looks to be in about 7-10 days! There's a mad rush on and even as a non-coder, or a new user to Drupal you can help.
Download Drupal 7, and test your favorite modules. Report bugs and submit patches! It's easy, right? I'll be making a few posts this week to take "the scary" out of testing patches, and show you exactly how I do it. In this post, we'll get D7 up and running, and determine the best way to locate modules which need help, and the specific issues which need testing.
We had 226 respondents to a survey about roles in the Drupal community. Though we pilot tested the survey and honed down the questions, the findings were inconclusive, though we could draw one result. Apparently we use terms like "themer" or "module developer" yet these platonic ideals seem to only exist in our heads. In reality, a person on a team will find themselves handling many roles. In the context of a larger organization, Drupal is one tool in a larger set to be integrated with. In a smaller dev shop, Drupal is again, one tool of many which are used. Slicing up Drupal developers into roles turned into a muddy exercise.
However, there was one interesting outcome. Of the respondents, 203 individuals replied to the open-ended question: "What do you wish you had known when you started Drupal"? It's taken me this long to code and analyze this information so we can make some use of it. I think it can give people within Drupal some insight on how we can improve our welcome mat. And for those who are new, I hope this gives you some good tips and advice!
The Apache Solr search server that powers Acquia Search has many powerful features. One of the less appreciated ones is the ability to specify at query time that documents matching certain criteria should get an extra "boost" in their relevancy score. This means that they appear higher in the search results.
Imagine that you are maintaining a site and you have recently added Acquia Search. Your boss, Bob, is not pleased, however. He says "I thought you told me this new search would do a better job of finding the most relevant results - but when I try it the ones I expect to see come up first are not there." After protesting that the result are good matches to the key words, further discussion reveals that Bob expect his blog posts to be the most relevant matches!
In the Apache Solr settings you can use the "Content bias settings" tab and "Search fields" tab to adjust the boost (see screen shot below). The boost can be set based on a range of properties including content types and node properties, as well as for cases where a keyword matches a certain node field or taxonomy vocabulary. By changing these configuration options, in most cases you can shift the results so they match the needs of your site. Given the problem with Bob's blog posts, you adjust the settings so that all Blog content gets an extra boost.
However, you may still find that the search results are not optimally relevant, especially if you have certain pieces of content that you think should be highlighted, or some pieces of content that you know are of particularly high quality. In this case, you can add a search boost at the node level to make these "important" nodes come to the top. You can write a very small amount of custom code in a site-specific module to get the desired result.
In our imagined scenario case, Bob is still upset because the developers also write blog posts, and those tend to include more of the keywords so are better matches, plus he's annoyed that when one of his blog posts does show up, it's one he wrote last month. If you have some way to automatically identify the "important" nodes, then you may be able to transform those rules into code if the rules can be formulated as a Lucene query. For example, like this hook implementation:

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Kutti Puli Movie Review
Kutti Puli:-
Release Date - 30 May 2013
Cast and Crew - Sasikumar,Lakshmi Menon,Saranya Ponvannan
Genre-Action - Romance
Music Director-M Ghibran
Language - Tamil
Certification - U
Director - M Muthaiah
Producer - S Muruganandan
Kutti Puli is an tamil upcoming movie from M. Sasi Kumar the story of Kutti Puli is based out of Srivilliputtur , Director Bhoopathi Pandian's assistant Muthiah is directing this movie. Sasikumar will be playing the lead role in this film with his previous movie pair Lakshmi Menon.
Village Theatres, which has produced the Vimal starrer Vagai Sooda Va, is producing Kutti Puli. Ghibran has been signed up to score the music for this film after his fast film Vaagai Sooda Va.
Sasikumar realised his strength and weakness at the early stage of his career. As as result, he always choose to make a film with rural settings. His biggest hits were Subramaniapuram, Naadodigal and his last film Sundarapandian. And it is obvious that he prefers a rural-backdrop film than making a movie for urban audience. Has he succeeded once again with Kutti Pulti? Continue reading the review to know it...
It is said that improvisation is the need of the hour in cinema, but Sasikumar seems to be pushing it under the carpet by continuing to do mass-appeal films. He may be successful, but he should not forget the fact that success will not stay with him forever if he continues to make similar films.
Kutti Puli (Sasikumar) was brought up single-handedly by his mother after he lost his father at a young age in a local gang rivalry. His mother does not want to be like his father.
Unfortunately, he does grow up to be like his father...

Eberjey's petal-soft lace bottoms often skew towards the effortless-girly spectrum (and we love that about them). But looking at the Fiona, with its lovely lace edging, sexy peek-a-boo keyhole, sheer stretch, and cocktail pink edging and bow that this little bottom is more like effortless-girly-meets-inner-vixen. And we like that.
Wear With
Fiona Bralet$58.00
With lace edging, sexy peek-a-boo, sheer stretch construction, and cocktail party bow this little softbra is like effortless-girly-meets-inner-vixen. And we like that.
Fiona Chemise$76.00
We forgot what it's like when Eberbey does bombshell. It's the exact right mix of cheeky and soft, of sexy and effortless, jaw-dropping and sweet-dreaming. In short, perfect.
- Low-Rise
Fit Notes
May We Recommend?
Though this has recently been our favorite day-off go-to wardrobe essential, and though it is perfect on the couch, it also is pretty fab with our high waisted skinnies too.
These lusciously supple and delectably boyfriend-slouchy heather pants from Eberjey are perfect for those days when you need a little less structure but still must be fabulous.
With a first-blush-of-the-tiniest-blossom kind of pink and sweetheart of the rodeo stitched embroidery, this chemise is beautiful like the strains of a hand picked guitar.

The group collected and distributed 57 "provision packs" and more than 80 meals to four homeless "camps" in the Columbus, Ohio area.
PHILADELPHIA – In December 2013, temperatures in Ohio dipped painfully low and then remained in the single digits for weeks. To help protect the area's most vulnerable residents — the homeless — FMC Corporation and Univar teamed up with more than 65 local pest management professionals to make a difference. The group collected and distributed 57 "provision packs" and more than 80 meals to four homeless "camps" in the Columbus area.
Leading the charge were Kevin Behrens, a regional sales manager for Univar, who organized the endeavor and collected the items during the company's annual holiday event, and Arnold Ramsey, Midwest Market Specialist for FMC, who distributed the packs on Dec. 28, along with his wife, Sonya, and other volunteers.

Stove Top Chicken Tips?
Hi Folks,
I'm not the most experienced cook and have always had trouble cooking chicken on the stove top. I can never seem to get chicken breasts fully cooked through. I'd like to learn how to do this so I don't have to always follow up with roasting in the oven. I currently do a combination of searing then roasting which is great but also more time consuming.
Do you all have any tips on how I can get this down? I'd also like to not smoke up my apartment if i can help it lol... cooking on cast iron.
Should I slice the chicken breasts very thin? Switch to a stainless pan?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Sounds like you might be using too much heat. Covering the pan will also help to cook the meat through.
Cast iron should work. Use medium or even medium low heat. Get the pan hot, add enough oil to just cover the bottom then put the breasts in and put a lid on the pan. Try 10 minutes a side then check for internal temperature.
re: hal2010
This. Brown one side of the seasoned breast in oil (or butter/fat) over medium, then flip it, COVER, and turn heat down to low. For BLSL chicken breasts, cook 10 minutes and don't lift the lid. After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and let sit, covered still, for another 10 minutes.
It works every time. I've done it with slightly smaller and slightly larger breasts and they are always done perfectly and stay very juicy.
It works just as well if you're cooking marinated breasts, or cooking in a sauce.
One note: this method doesn't produce a nice crust. I think doing it in cast iron like hal2010 noted would help with this. Or you could cook for the 10 minutes, covered, and sear as your last step. Remove the lid, crank the heat, and cook for a minute or two on each side until golden brown.
re: nothingswrong
Thank you for the great replies! I'm going to give this a shot today.
As others have suggested sauté in a hot pan then add a little liquid (1/4 cup approx. of white wine, chix stock or water)then put a tight fitting lid on the pan and reduce the heat. You can make a simple pan sauce afterwards by turning up the heat, reducing the liquid and adding some whole butter to emulsify. You can add herbs at this point if you have them. I prefer chicken thighs, either boneless skinless or bone in skin on, because they have a richer flavor and are less likely to overcook and turn to sawdust.
Try frying some Chicken in about a cup in a half of oil.Let the heat get hot.You don't want the chicken to stick to the pan.Next season and flour the chicken in a paper bag to make sure the chicken is coated evenly.Add the chicken to the skillet and turn the heat down to medium.Let the chicken cook on each side for 10 minutes and continue to turn it.Remember not to add too much heat.You can cover the skillet while chicken is frying.You could also brown chicken and pour cream of chicken soup over it put a top on the skillet and let the chicken simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender.There are so many ways to cook chicken on the stove Top.There is a chicken dish we cook called Chicken Stroganoff.I have never cooked chicken in a cast Iron Skillet.

But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale.
