Premium Dungeon Finder
Today there was some news released about something Blizzard is working on that will be quite game changing. No, it's not the dance studio. A "premium" service which will allow someone to use the Random Dungeon Finder (LFD) tool to group with friends on Real ID.
At first glance, I think this is an excellent idea. With WoW being so big across so many servers, there are people who want to group together but don't want to take the time or money to level an alt on another realm or transfer a character over. By being able to bypass the tedius or expensive effort that these entail, it will allow friends to do dungeons together and have fun much easier.
The biggest thing that will cause most people to call foul is the fact that it's a premium service, which is an extra fee on top of the monthly fee we already pay. To be honest, that was the first thing that caught my attention as well, but I'm going to wait for all the information. We don't know any pricing or how exactly it is going to work, apart from the fact that only one person needs to have the service – that being the person initiating the group.
If this feature will be included in the current premium package which allows remote auction house and remote guild chat and keeping the price the same, I can see a fair amout of people using this. I could even see myself possibly signing up for this feature.
One big question I know a lot of people will have is whether this will support cross-faction groups along with cross-realm. Many of my friends are not only scattered across different servers, but between the Horde and Alliance. As much as the Alliance are scum (as far as my characters think), I'd like to group up with the people behind them. To me, I think this will be the selling point: if I'm able to do cross-faction groups, I'll pretty much be sold.
Since this is still very early in the cycle of the feature, we'll definitely be given more information later on. I'll be very curious to see what the final version of this product will be.

It was stated in the blue post about this that players need to be from the same faction to use this.

Photos of My Acupuncture Experience & How It Helped With My Fertility AnxietyAela Mass
So tomorrow's the big day: my egg retrieval. Last night, I could barely sleep. I've been so excited and anxious and nervous, that it's been hard to concentrate on anything — even sleeping. Since my incredible fertility center has a healing arts center upstairs that specializes in fertility-related stress relief, and since by 1:00 this afternoon my anxiety was at its highest, I called to schedule my first ever acupuncture appointment.
It was outrageous.
Surprisingly, I had no anxiety at all about getting poked with little needles. And the entire experience left me in a very relaxed and worry-free state.
After the jump, check out the photos from my acupuncture session.
Forehead & Lower Abdomen 1 of 7I could barely feel the "prick" of the needles.
Forehead & Ear 2 of 7This one particularly "opens and clears" the mind.
Lower Abdomen & Forehead 3 of 7Prepping my lower abdomen for my egg retrieval tomorrow.
With the TDP Magnetic Mineral Lamp 4 of 7This natural mineral heat lamp was incredible -- very relaxing and soothing.
Lower Abdomen, Arm, Head & Feet 5 of 7I had needles in my ear, forehead, scalp, lower abdomen, hands, arms, legs, and feet.
Clearing the Mind 6 of 7It was definitely a peaceful experience! I thought it would be weird to have this needle in my head, but I truly didn't even feel it.
Lower Abdomen and TDP Magnetic Mineral Lamp 7 of 7It was a great experience that certainly left me relaxed. I'm as ready as I'll ever be for my egg retrieval tomorrow!

A fast-paced, dynamic and demanding course with a strong emphasis on creativity and individuality underpinned with strong cutting and product development skills.
Why study Fashion Design?
The course encourages the development of individual design identity through the translation of personal research into design ideas underpinned with strong technical skills. There is an emphasis on developing sophisticated research skills in order to develop original concepts, with strengths in making and development in 3D. We aim to take the fear out of the 'technical' side of fashion by combining the 'technical' and 'design' so both areas become one creative endeavour.
The Fashion Design course at Bath Spa has developed a reputation for producing highly individual and creative designers and practioners with a strong skill set, capable of working at all levels of the market.
The course offers a comprehensive design education at degree level for dedicated and ambitious individuals looking for a specialist career within the creative arena of the fashion industry.

- The development of ideas into 3D through Flat Pattern Cutting and Construction alongside sewing skills workshops.
- Tailoring: introducing the history and context of tailoring, designing tailored fashion, and the development of tailoring techniques and processes.

2nd year students have the opportunity to work with London Fashion Week Show Producer and Stylist, on 'Bath in Fashion'.

Bath Spa graduate Chloe Jones won the prestigious Womenswear and Gold Award at Graduate Fashion Week 2012, following in the footsteps of previous winners including Christopher Bailey, Stella McCartney, and Mathew Williamson.
Stephanie Kitchen won the national design competition set by Fashion Awareness Direct, showcasing her outfits at the start of London Fashion Week 2013. Stephanie also won the 2013 Textiles Institute award for her final collection as showcased at the Foreign Office in London.
Chloe Jones, Fashion Design, graduated 2012:
"After graduating I did a placement within the industry working as a Design Assistant. As well as designing my own ranges, I learnt a huge amount about other areas of the company from sampling and production through to the buying of the product. I was also recently invited to show my work at Vauxhall Fashion Scout's 'Graduate Showcase' during London Fashion Week 2012. This was amazing exposure and an incredible chance to meet some really influential people within the industry.
When I graduated from Bath Spa, I felt like I had all the necessary tools and knowledge to enter industry, and was as prepared as I could be for the next step in my career. The course encourages creativity and exploration whilst highlighting the importance of technical skills. However, the most special thing I will take from my studies is the relentless time and support given by the tutors and their continued mentoring as I begin my career."
Petulia Galvin, Fashion Design, Year 2:
"The fashion design course is both challenging and fast paced, but ultimately very rewarding. It has made me question my own work in a way that I never have before, it pushes you to become not only creatively intellectual but
technically advanced as well, in the form of flat pattern cutting, sewing skills and drape lessons. I think that it is very beneficial having tutors from an industry background as they make you work to a much more professional, forward
thinking standard. Working in such a close-knit and exciting environment, and being able to interact with tutors on a daily basis who have such strong and legitimate opinions really opens your eyes to a new and exciting way of working and really pushes you to fulfil your full potential as a designer. Now in my second year, it is so gratifying to see how much my design work and drawing skills have progressed since I started the course, and I am excited for what the future entails."

Although live music is a steady presence in the area, no other local radio station is involved with promoting local music with on-air play and a live music series.
"It's important for us to align ourselves with the live music scene," WXPI-FM 88.5 station manager Isaac Conner said. "The series will provide the area a chance to learn more about WXPI 88.5 and enjoy some great live music. We want to do these in different areas around town because we are for the area, not just Williamsport. It would be great to do music series fundraisers in places like Montoursville, Jersey Shore or South Williamsport as well."

WXPI-FM 88.5 will host a series of concerts at the Pig's Ear Pub, 939 Westminster Drive, Loyalsock Township, beginning with Mallory Scoppa at 10 p.m. Saturday.
The series promises to be an eclectic mix of music, kicking off with Mallory Scoppa and the Tall Tales at 10 p.m. Saturday. Other local talent playing the series includes Zach Baggett, Key of V and Clawfoot Slumber.
According to the man who's been booking the series, the goal was to really give the patrons at the Pig's Ear a nice sampling of the musical fare offered in the city.
"What's great is that the Pig's Ear already has a nice reputation for offering live music but it's not always local," Caleb Banas of WXPI-FM 88.5 said. "So we approached them about doing a series of strictly local artists that run the gamut of styles and sounds."
Pennsylvania has 266 FM radio stations between the 87 and 92 MHz frequencies reserved for educational, community and noncommercial use. Of those, WXPI-FM 88.5 is one of three community stations offering an eclectic format that is not centered on education or religion. A community radio station like WXPI serves its community by broadcasting content that is popular but often overlooked by commercial or mass media broadcasters.
Community radio stations are operated, owned and driven by the communities they serve. The financial support of the community is the difference between success and failure for a nonprofit radio station.
"It's great to have the opportunity to team up with Pig's Ear and come up with a fun way to raise funds for the station," Conner said. "We want people to know that WXPI 88.5 is not some kind of fringe media outlet broadcasting a specific agenda. Our only alignment is with the community. Any and everyone are welcome to participate."
In June, WXPI-FM 88.5 began that alignment when it hosted an opening party fundraiser at the Genetti Hotel, 200 W. Fourth St., with two stages of live music.
"We really want to position ourselves with local music in the area, in fact we want to be synonymous with it," Conner said. "WPXI 88.5 has the chance to become a catalyst in helping the local music scene reach the next level. That's why we feature local music every weekday from 10 a.m. to noon and for several hours every weekend."
Although the Pig's Ear Pub has been offering live music a couple times a month, the WXPI 88.5 series gives them a chance to see how a weekly serving of live music fits on their event menu.
"Well, we've only been open a little over a year now, but I've had live music or a DJ at least 2 weekends each month since last October," Bobby Vitko, bar manager of the Pig's Ear said. "I think there are so many bars in Williamsport that have live music, which is great for patrons who get to go out and enjoy live music, and for bands who get to play and get recognized."

Konkani Recipes for RCI:Karnataka
Cabbage Pol (Cabbage Dosa):
1 medium size Cabbage (chopped fine)
1 large Onion (chopped fine)
To Soak:
1 cup Rice
1/2 cup Toor Dal
To Fry:
2 Tbsp Urad Dal
5-6 Red Chillies
1 Tbsp Dhania
1 tsp Methi seeds
2 Tbsp Coconut powder
1 tsp Tamarind paste
2 Tbsp Jaggery
Salt to taste
Oil for cooking
Soak the rice and toor dal together for at least 4 hours. Grind the fried ingredients first along with tamarind and jaggery. Then then add the soaked rice/dal. Grind coarsely with very little water. To the ground mixture, add the chopped cabbage and onion and salt to taste. Batter is ready. This batter will be pretty thick.
Heat a tawa. Pat a small portion of the batter on the tawa, in the shape of a circle. Pour about 1 tsp of oil around the perimeter of the dosa. The dosa will be rather thick. Cover and cook until browned at the bottom. Then flip the dosa and brown the other side.
This is a meal-in-one! It has rice, dal and vegetables and is very filling. It takes quite a bit of time to cook, unlike the regular dosas but is so worth the wait!
Akki Undi:
4 cups Rice (soaked in water for at least 6 hours)
1 cup Coconut Powder
Salt to taste
2 Tbsp Oil
1 Tsp Mustard Seeds
2 Tsp Urad Dal
1 tsp Cumin Seeds
1/2 tsp Asafoetida
Grind the soaked rice to a coarse paste using very little water. Add coconut powder, salt and the tadka. Mix them well and shape into little rounds or ovals. Steam in pressure cooker for 20 minutes.
Serve with sambar or chutney or just plain ghee.
Muga Dali Usli:
Moong Dal 2 cups
Water 4-5 cups
1 tsp Sugar
3 tsp Coconut powder
Salt to taste
For the Tadka/Tempering:
Oil 4-5 tsp
Mustard Seeds 2 tsp
Green Chillies 2 chopped
Curry Leaves -8-10
Hing 1 tsp
Bring water to a boil. Add the moong dal and cook until soft but not mushy, for about 10 mins. Drain excess water. Add the tempered oil, salt to taste, sugar and coconut. Mix well.

Redchillies-welcome! and thanks for your comment! My mil adds loads of coconut too (in pretty much everything!) but I do tone it down when I cook.
Bhags - thanks! I did not know any of these dishes until my mil made them.THey are not the usual fare and that's why I made sure I re-posted them for RCI :)
Siri - thanks! :)
Roopa- thanks. They do go well together, don't they?! :)

Nags - Lots of coconut in Konkani cooking but delicious stuff! thanks for your comment :)
Sup - I like the no-fermentation time part too! I LOVE caabage polo but don;t do it often enough. The Akki Undi was inspired by your post that was similar.
Happy Cook - They certainly are super delicious! :)
Asha - Happy Cook said that this would make you happy and looks like it did! :) THanks for the email bit but I already emailed you. Hope you're doing well. ~hugs~

Sandeepa - The cabbage dosa is delicious! No fermantation time too! The undi goes well with sambar. I forgot to add that.
Latha- Both dosa and unde are really good. I never tried to make the usili again though I loved it when my mil made. Glad your kids liked them. Makes for a nutritious breakfast. Or lunch/dinner! :) My parents were here for a couple months and they left 2 days ago. So I;m back to running around like a chicken with it;s head cut off! :)
Jayashree - thanks :)
Tee- Glad you liked the recipes! I'm glad I re-posted them as they really are unique recipes! :)
Nupur - Thanks! I forgot to add that the undi needs some kind of sambar and/or chutney as accompaniment. It's quite bland by itself (like idlies).

Over at mlive, they mentioned something about Zetterberg having something up with his wrist or hand. Apparently, he has been wearing a different glove on one hand since the WCF.
The more I hear about the injuries the Wings had the more impressed I am that they made it as far as they did.

An organization that provides accessible homes to injured veterans is building its 200th adaptive home, which will be located in the Granite State's capital city.
Homes for Troops plans to build a house for Army Staff Sgt. Matt Dewitt, who was seriously wounded in Iraq when his battalion came under attack in 2003.
The group sponsored a run on Sunday that raised money to build the house for Dewitt and his family in Concord.

Most people consider lobster a delicacy reserved for fine-dining restaurants. But because of a supply glut that is bringing wholesale prices down, the tasty crustacean is showing up on more than just white tablecloths.
Uno Chicago Grill, for example, offered lobster sliders, a lobster wrap, a lobster roll, and lobster and shrimp scampi on its Best of Summer menu, and D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches continues to promote its Lobster Nation Lineup.
The slogan for Boston-based Uno's promotion, "Way deeper than pizza," highlights lobster's ability to add pizzazz to a menu, says Dane Somers, executive director of the Maine Lobster Council.
"When you introduce something like lobster, it opens up a whole new area of discovery for the customer," Somers says. "There's only so much you can do with burgers and chicken."
Too often quick-service restaurants bent on offering the lowest prices get caught in a "race to the bottom," Somers says, and forget about their obligation to "delight the customer." While lobster dishes tend to cost more than other protein-based items, Somers says customers are often willing to splurge for an unexpected treat.
"Maybe it's a couple more dollars," he says, "but it's interesting, it's exciting. And for the restaurant operator, it puts your restaurant on a slightly higher plane."
Of course, Somers has an interest in marketing the clawed crustacean as the cure for the common menu. The lobster industry has taken a beating since the global economy nearly collapsed late last year. In the aftermath, demand plummeted for lobster, which, despite efforts to dress it down, remains in a culinary echelon with delicacies like caviar and foie gras.
With so much supply—Maine alone harvested 68 million pounds of lobster last year, according to Somers—and so little demand, prices have dropped. A pound of hardshell went for $3.25 in spring, down from about $5. A pound of softshell lobster, or "shedders," is selling for $2.50, down a dollar from last year. With a month-and-a-half of prime lobster hunting left, prices might fall even lower if demand doesn't pick up.
While this is good news for restaurants looking to spice up their menus, it is terrible for lobster trappers whose businesses, in many cases, are on the verge of ruin.
"I call it the slow death," Brian McLain, vice president of the Maine Lobstermen's Association, says about the falling prices.
Like many lobstermen, McLain is losing money on every pound he hauls in.
"I need a minimum of $3.50 per pound to turn a profit and we're getting $2.50 per pound," McLain says.
In the long term, such bargain-basement prices pose a grave threat to the salt of the lobster industry. But in the short term, the lobstermen's pain is the restaurant operator's gain.
"This is the best year I've seen in a long time to try to capitalize on adding lobster to your menu, at least as a special," says Steve Kingston, owner of Kennebunkport, Maine, quick-serve The Clam Shack.
"At some point [prices] can't go any lower because guys have to make a living. But I think this year we might find out what that threshold is."

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Court-appointed sewer receiver John S. Young said today in court that the sanitary system needs to generate more revenue regardless of who is in charge and that rate increases are inevitable.
"I need to get revenue where it needs to be and that will probably include rate increases," Young said.
Young is testifying at hearing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Birmingham, where he has petitioned presiding Judge Thomas Bennett for an exemption to the suspension of his powers that was triggered by Jefferson County's Chapter 9 filing this month.
Young was appointed by an Alabama judge last year to run the system after payment defaults and corruption angered bondholders owed $3.14 billion. He has supported raising rates by as much as 25 percent.
Since a bankruptcy filing normally automatically stops outsider influence over the affairs of the insolvent filer, Young applied to Bennett for an exemption, saying he was legally installed by a sovereign court and has the status of a state officer. County commissioners want Young out, but there is no legal argument for his dismissal before the judge at today's hearing.
"The endgame is when the judge tells me the job is done," Young said at the hearing. "Then I'm done."

Hi there
I am trying to map device files to drive serial numbers in Linux.
The reason I am trying to do this is mainly because Linux can swap all
drive letters at every boot. Yes I know that I can use filesystem
labels, mdadm array disk numbers etc, but if a disk fails I want to know
exactly and reliably WHICH disk I have to replace (we are speaking about
a big disk server here), and I can do that if I can get to the serial
number. From the OS just the device name is given to me, not the
physical slot (and disk member number in the mdadm array but I would
prefer to go the serial number way if possible).
Also at RAID array creation (mdadm), in order to do the things well, I
need to know a reliable mapping of disk device file to physical slot.
With this server I cannot count on drive activity leds being present or
Most controllers are good, and with them I can use
smartctl -i /dev/sdX...
However I have various controllers, and one of them is a 3ware (possibly
more than one 3ware in the future)
3ware doesn't work with the command line above, nor with hdparm.
With 3ware the only way to make it work is:
smartctl -i -d 3ware,PORTNUMBER /dev/twaCONTROLLERNUMBER
The problem is that I don't know a way to map the /dev/sdX device to its
PORTNUMBER and CONTROLLERNUMBER in the 3ware, so I am stuck again.
Please help
Thank you

Minority fan base of MMA are intelligent, dedicated athletes.
The minority fan base of Pro Wrestling is... I dunno? Old people and kids?
please put this in smack talk.
In related news, Shane McMahon has stepped down from the WWE and is likely to start an MMA promotion. Wonder how that would turn out...
so obviously Vince's son disagrees.
It's El Pollo Loco! Everyone has their own thoughts on things and WWE is his ..
I used to be a big wrestling fan as a kid and I recall them doing a story line where there porn star character Val Venus had an affair with the manager of some asian group of wrestlers, so these asian wrestlers kidnapped Venus and attempted to cut his penis off with a katana but they had layed placed Venus's penis on a cold stone chopping block so the shrinkage caused by this chopping block saved Venus from having his penis cut off. Yes... the very picture of sophistication.
What a moron. When I see a man tear his shirt apart or when I see a steroid ridden mofo suddenly jump up from being knocked out and choke slam a guy, I think sophistication, yeah right. :sarcastic03:
Of course its more sophisticated. You got lines, gotta be a good actor well maybe not the good actor part...................
It's a fricken play for christs sakes
