In the basement of a garden-variety two-story house in Southeast, magic is happening. Midwestern transplants Louie Herr and Aaron Colter have spent the bulk of the past four years cultivating an idea: capture and bottle up the Portland house show experience, and give it away for free (or donation). They invite bands and friends to their now-secret shows to participate in the gleaning. There might not always be money in this Banana Stand, but the magic and the music is there in a big way.
11: What is the mission of the Banana Stand?

Hey guys, I am just wondering if there is a possibility for an app like this? It doesn't sound too complicated. There's already an app that shows you your battery%, is it possible to create an app that places a battery percentage within the battery icon?
(Or is this just a theme and I am completely out on this one?)

The Opportunity Programs at Hamilton College is comprised of two (2) programs designed to increase access to higher education for students who present an alternate academic profile and who demonstrate the ability to compete successfully in an academically competitive environment. A history of more than 40 years at Hamilton, demonstrates the college's commitment to a community that is culturally rich.
The New York State Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) was established by the State Legislature in 1969 to provide access to independent college and universities for economically and educationally disadvantaged students from New York State. Economic eligibility is based on state-mandated low-income guidelines. Academic criteria are determined by each HEOP institution: a student enrolled in HEOP does not meet the institution's traditional admissions profile, but are the top performers from the high schools and academies they may attend. HEOP students must demonstrate that they are able to successfully compete at this institution. There exist no compromises in the admission process. The Higher Education Opportunity Program is an avenue through which any student meeting both academic and economic guidelines can obtain a post high school degree.
The Hamilton College Scholars Program runs parallel to the Higher Education Opportunity Program. Hamilton Scholars are students who are ineligible for HEOP due to economic or residential criteria. The College Scholars Program is entirely funded by Hamilton College. Scholars hail from all over the United States and can include eligible international students.
There is no cost to the student for participating in the program.
The Summer Program includes work in:
Participation in the Opportunity Programs provides students with structured academic support, advocacy, and facilitates social transitioning.
The Opportunity Program also provides academic support through the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE).
Opportunity Program students may also receive some financial assistance towards the cost of travel and books.

Jennifer Andrews
Ms. Andrews received her Master's from BGSP in 1996, the same year that she started her current position as an Assistant Director of Student Services for six schools in Vermont. In this capacity she works with educators, teachers, administrators and parents in an effort to give children with special needs high quality programs.
"I supervise educators who work with disturbed children and adolescents. They need to be able to talk about their work and feelings without being judged, or even advised. I am seeing evidence that my application of modern psychoanalytic principles is helping prevent staff burnout. Teachers get a lot of training in specific kinds of instruction and behavioral techniques. But this is not meaningful in the long term if they do not have an emotional understanding of themselves and the children and other staff. I strive to bring that understanding to them."
In addition, Ms. Andrews is called upon to mediate conflicts that often result in the Special Education teams. She has found that her training at BGSP has been essential to her understanding of aggression and her ability to deal with it. Ms. Andrews is a recent graduate of the Certificate Program at BGSP.

Here you can find all of DxOMark's measurement publishing announcements, along with a selection of reviews, print and blog articles from the photo press and communities that talk about DxOMark or reference DxOMark results.
Announced at the same time as the Canon EOS 650D, will the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM establish itself as the trans-standard lens of reference for APS-C reflex owners? Learn more in our preview.
Today Cannon announced its new amateur D-SLR with the Canon EOS-650D. Despite some nice new features, this new model is not a revolution in term of sensor with a 18 MPix APS-C sensor. Before we can test how good it performs, here are our first impressions in this preview.
The new lightweight smc Pentax-DA 40mm f/2.8 XS strives to be a versatile weapon in a photographer's arsenal of lenses. But the dainty lens, weighing only 51 grams and measuring a slim 9mm in thickness, needs a little more beef – at least that's what DxOMark determined after putting the lens' optics through our rigorous tests.
We've put the Sony SLT-A57, a digital SLR with electronic viewfinder that incorporates a well-known 16Mpix CMOS ASP-C sensor, through its paces at DxOMark. What progress can we expect? How does it compare with its competitors, both reflex and hybrids? Here are our results.
Last year Nikon endowed the D5100 with a 16Mpix CMOS sensor and an articulated screen. This year Nikon has grafted a 24Mpix high-resolution APS-C sensor onto its D3100 amateur camera to create a new version, the D3200. What kind of image quality can we expect from this entry-level camera's very high-resolution sensor? The answer can be found in our tests.
Sony unveils its new expert compact digital large-sensor model, the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100, which offers a unique mix of sensor array size and camera body compactness. Can this "premium" compact become the benchmark for this market segment?
The launch of the 1D X is approaching. And, before we can test it, we wanted to share with you a detailed comparison of Canon's new flagship professional camera with its predecessors and competitors. Overall, this looks like an interesting evolution.
Only weeks after the D800 debut, Canon announced, on its 75th birthday, the release of the highly anticipated EOS 5D Mark III.
As you probably saw, at DxOMark, we have determined a clear winner - at least in regards to RAW image quality - after putting both cameras sensors under the scrutiny of our laboratory tests. But, here is our detailed analysis of this clash of the Titans.
To website
It's almost four years since Panasonic introduced the first mirrorless interchangeable lens camera in the shape of the Lumix DMC-G1, a most unrevolutionary-looking product that ushered in a brave new era of camera system design. In the intervening years we've seen a slew of cameras of this type as all of the major manufacturers (with the curious exception of Canon) have joined the fray. We've also seen a welcome resurgence of compact fast primes along with the development of clever collapsing zooms, as manufacturers have sought to capitalise on the inherent size advantage over SLR designs. But one type of lens highly valued by more-serious photographers has been conspicuous by its absence - the high quality, large aperture zoom. Panasonic has now addressed this with a lens it's labelling H-HS12035 - an optically-stabilized 12-35mm F2.8 in its premium 'X' range.
Read the article
Today, Sony announced 2 new entry level cameras both in their hybrid range with the Sony NEX-F3 and in their DSLR range with the Sony SLT-Alpha 37.
The PENTAX DA Star 200mm F2.8 ED (IF) SDM is the fastest telephoto lens in Pentax's high-end product range. For example, on an APS-C like the Pentax K5, its focal length is equivalent to a 300mm on a full-frame camera. With its weather- and dust-resistant construction and fast ultrasonic autofocus, it could prove a great companion for wildlife and sports photographers.
If you're the lucky owner of a Nikon D4, you will be happy to know that we are publishing today our measures of all lenses mounted on a D4.
Even though it appeared in Canon's lineup in 1995, the Canon EF 28mm F/1.8 is one of the most recent wide-angle prime lenses for full-frame cameras. Built around 10 elements in 9 groups with one aspherical element, this lens feels pretty solid in hand. Its ultrasonic motor (USM) makes it very silent and quick to focus. In terms of image quality, the Canon EF 28mm F/1.8 provides a really good value for money.
To follow up on our review of the impressive Canon G1 X sensor, today we are publishing its lens performance measurements, which are also very good — on par with some DSLR kit lenses!
Yesterday, Nikon announced a new entry level DSLR: the Nikon D3200. Even if this new model looks very similar to the Nikon D3100, don't be mistaken, the D3200 is a very different DSLR, as we describe in the following preview:
The Canon 5D Mark III is certainly one of the most anticipated cameras of 2012. Announced a couple of months ago, we finally got a production sample and tested it. Without further ado, here are our results:
To website
On a recent trip to Samsung's Seoul headquarters I got the opportunity to use the new NX20, and get a feel for how it performs. I only had a short time with a pre-production camera, but overall, my impressions of its handling and performance are very positive. Certainly, anyone who has used and liked the NX20's predecessor, the NX10, will find little to complain about in the new model, and much that is very familiar.
Read the article
Today Panasonic unveiled the successor to the DMC-GF3. Contrary to what you might expect, it's not called the DMC-GF4, but the Lumix DMC-GF5. Indeed, in Japanese culture, the number four is thought to cause bad luck because it is pronounced the same as the word for death (shi).
In March 2009, the Panasonic Lumix G-Vario 14-140mm F4-5.8 Mega OIS was the first Panasonic super-zoom produced expressly for micro 4/3 sensors. This zoom can come in very handy with its wide focal range (equivalent to 28–280mm for 24x36mm).
The Pentax K01, Pentax's first serious hybrid, turns in a great performance, arriving in second place in its category. All of the results are available here: Pentax K-01.
The Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM, which came out in March 2009, completes Sigma's Pro (EX) line.
The Nikon D4 spent only a few days in the top spot for DxOMark sensor results before being dethroned by the Nikon D800, which is a complete success in every sensor-related respect:
After our first impressions when we could get the first samples of the new Nikon D4 in our hands, we were looking forward getting a testable sample in our labs. And we were not disappointed.
End of last week Sony announced the SLT Alpha 57, the successor of the SLT A55. This translucent mirror DSLR comes with some interesting improvements in particular for its continuous shooting and auto focus.
After the 15mm, 21mm and 70mm pancakes by Pentax, here are the measurements for the SMC DA 40mm F2.8 Limited. Pretty nice for such a compact lens.
Compactness has become a key factor for the hybrid cameras, but Pentax anticipated this trend with some nice pancakes launched a few years ago.
We go on our first round of reviews of Pentax pancake lenses with 2 more extremely compact lenses.
Today we complete our testing of micro 4/3 lenses with the Panasonic Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm F2.8 ASPH OIS, a very compact macro lens.
A few weeks ago, in response to the announcement of the Canon EOS 1D X, Nikon unveiled its new flagship camera, the Nikon D4, which replaces the D3s at the top of the Nikon DSLR line-up.

The proposed east-west highway is drawing a lot of concern from residents whose towns or townships may be along the route. This is typical of any improvement proposed in Maine to help the business environment.
Rob Borden and Erla St. Pierre, both of Wellington, protest in Dover-Foxcroft last May 31 before a public meeting on the proposed east-west highway. A reader cites northern Maine as an area that has maintained its character after Interstate 95 was built there.
2012 File Photo/Derek Davis
These towns need the state's financial backing to fund essentials within their communities, so by resisting business improvements such as this highway, they are placing the burden further on other taxpayers.
Interstate 95 was extended some years ago to Houlton, and it passes through essentially the same type of rural towns that are against this new highway proposal.
Howland, Medway, Hersey Township and Sherman Mills do not seem in ruins when I go through. I see commercial activity in these areas commingling with the local small businesses, which, of course, employ many local residents.
The small-town cohesiveness is still present, and the opportunity for the next generations to remain in or return to the areas is greatly improved, due to the highway access and subsequent connection to the business arteries within and outside Maine.
The proposal is just a highway, but it is facing opposition as if it were a pipeline carrying nuclear waste.
Every road we drive on in Maine was an improvement over an existing rural trail or a new pathway from point to point.
We have found a way to keep Maine beautiful yet accessible in those areas, so why do those communities have so little faith we could not continue this balance of nature versus business?
"Not in my backyard" has to stop being the first reaction to infrastructure changes or business expansion if we are to move into the future as a fiscally stable state.

Cousins' position on ferry helps preserve Chebeague
Regarding your report on the conflict between Chebeague Island and Cousins Island ("Ferry that joins also separates islanders," March 18) over the "influx of traffic, noise, trash and commotion brought to Cousins Island by hundreds of residents bound for Chebeague Island":
According to my colleague David Hill, who managed Chebeague Transportation Co. for a number of years, "It's a fight for survival of the (Chebeague) island." He added that the traffic on Cousins is "no different than any other place where cars pass by houses."
I may be in the minority, or even a minority of one, but I'd suggest that the constraints on people coming to Chebeague are a blessing in disguise.
Cousins Island, with a bridge to the mainland, is largely a suburb of Portland. I rather doubt residents leave their doors unlocked or keys in their cars, as we can still do on Chebeague. And why do many parents hover over their children awaiting the school bus?
On Chebeague, all of this will change for the worse, of course. There are owners of open spaces and woodlots who want to sell, businesses that want more customers and construction workers who would like to build more homes. But, to the extent that Cousins Island impedes the flow of people, cars, trucks and buses that pass by their houses, that change will occur more slowly.
Cousins Island, then, can help preserve the survival of Chebeague Island as we now know it. It is, unfortunately, not very likely that Chebeague will do this on its own.

Workplace tragedy shows why 'gun-free zones' fail
I read the Feb. 28 article "Business safety concerns vs. gun permit holders." I was particularly intrigued by how Downeast Energy banned firearms from company property after the deranged ex-boyfriend of one of their employees murdered that employee, then shot himself.

The place is peaceful and the staffs are fantastic. They are patient, accommodating and kind. The services are INCREDIBLE. LOVED IT!
Always A Warm Welcome – Davia and Anna provided a facial and massage respectively and they were both excellent; providing a warm welcome, a caring service, and a professional job. They certainly know their business and their performance speaks to that.
I am, as always, thrilled with my cut. I've been getting my hair cut - and occupationally colored - here for almost 20 years, and the consistent quality, professionalism and warmth of this institution never disappoint.
This place is so relaxing and professional. I have never had a problem here and I will continue to come here.
I visited Salon Roi after finding them on this site and I'm thrilled I discovered them! They were able to fit me in for a cut that day and my stylist was fantastic. She talked me through what I wanted, we looked at a photo and she offered modifications of the style. Roi, the owner, was styling a client next to us and offered compliments of both my hair and of the cut. He was working on a woman who's known him for 35+ years and I discovered that Salon Roi had been in that spot since the late '60s.The salon itself was very comfy - it seemed small but has has a few floors and each seems pretty compartmentalized. I will definitely be going back for my hair and intend to book nail and facial appointments very soon.
I have had massages from Europe to South Africa and have never been so relaxed and healed at the same time. The massage is healing more than my Physical Therapist has done for me.I left without the pain I walked in with. The relief was immediate and amazing.
The best cut I've had in a long time. – I was in desparate need of a haircut just out of the Metro in AM, so I called Salon Roi just to see if they happened to have any availability at 5PM on a Friday. Since I was literally right outside, they were extremely friendly and said to just come right up. I was handed over to Blanca who greeted me as soon as I reached the receptionist, and took me back to her chair.
I get a simple cut, 2 on the sides, faded up, real short on the top, messy/spiked in the front, yet somehow, the last 3 places I tried in DC/Bethesda (just moved here in April), were extremely sub-par considering the $$. As such, I was hesitant to drop another 50 bucks only to wish I had just gone to SuperCuts, but I figured let's give it a shot. Blanca definitely made me glad I came in. She was extremely friendly, has worked there for years (I won't say how many), and gave me the best cut I've had in a long time.
Looking forward to go back. – I'm looking forward to go back and try their other services.
Great atmosphere – I've been going to Salon Roi for many years. I lived in the area when I first started going there, but over the years I've been known to commute over an hour to get my hair cut. I find the atmosphere very cosmopolitan, the staff very professional and fun...and the services offered terrific. I've tried to go to other salons--closer to home perhaps, but always...always end up back at Roi's. I'm so thrilled they take me back with no questions asked! : )
Alicia is a real pro – Alicia did my wax and was so thorough, I couldn't be more pleased. I can't tell you how many times I've had an aesthetician rip off a few strips of wax and tell you to meet her up front for her money. Alicia took her time, made sure I was comfortable, and went back through to tweeze anything that was too short for the wax to get.

In Detail
Cucumber is a Behavior Driven Design framework, which allows a developer to write specification tests which then tests that the program works as it should. It is a different development paradigm, as it involves writing what the program should do first, then you develop until it passes the tests.

Cucumber is a very fun and cool tool for writing automated acceptance tests to support software development in a Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) style.
Instant Cucumber BDD How-to will highlight Cucumber's central role in a development approach called Behaviour Driven Development (BDD), describe how to write Cucumber features to drive development in a real project, and finally introduce some famous third-party libraries used inline with Cucumber.
It will show you how to carry out all the tasks associated with BDD using Cucumber and write basic Cucumber steps. It will assist you in using Pro tips for writing expressive Gherkin and implement guidelines for writing DRY steps. You'll learn how to use Cucumber's Gherkin to describe the behavior customers want from the system in a plain language.
Filled with practical, step-by-step instructions and clear explanations for the most important and useful tasks. This standard How-to guide explains the essence of Cucumber, describing how to write Cucumber features to drive development in a real project, and also describe many pro tips for writing good Cucumber features and steps.
Who this book is for
Instant Cucumber BDD How-to is great for an Agile software development team that wants to adopt a behaviour-driven process using Cucumber. It assumes that the team is passionate in reducing communication gaps between developers and product managers, ensuring the development is always on the right track and always focused on minimum marketable value.

Thanh Nien, the flagship publication of the Vietnam National Youth Federation, launched its first issue on January 3, 1986. Since then, Thanh Nien has become one of the most prestigious and influential newspapers in Vietnam.
The newspaper's head office is located at 248 Cong Quynh Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. In addition, the newspaper also has representative offices all over the country.
Thanh Nien is a daily newspaper with a total readership of over 2 million per week, making it one of the most widely circulated newspapers in Vietnam.
Additionally, Thanh Nien also offers online news editions in both Vietnamese and in English. In addition to fulfilling its primary function of reporting news, Thanh Nien has also been actively involved in social, cultural, and sports activities.
As far as social work is concerned, the newspaper is committed to enriching and enhancing individual and group development as well as relieving unfavorable economic and social situations. The newspaper's social activities have so far received generous donations from its readers.With a budget of 1.7 to 2.2 billion VND per year set aside to cover the social work, Thanh Nien has been able to lend a helping hand to thousands of needy people including the handicapped and neglected children, disaster victims as well as the poor, the aged, and the sick.
Up to 543 cataract sufferers across the country have regained their eyesight in the past few years, thanks to a medical program sponsored by Thanh Nien. The newspaper also had seven primary schools in flood-prone Central provinces built, nine concrete bridges in the Mekong Delta provinces constructed, and seven houses for the war invalids and martyrs' families set up.
Thanh Nien founded the Nguyen Thai Binh Scholarship Fund in 1990 to provide financial aid to distinguished students from less affluent families. The proceeds from Thanh Nien's Duyen Dang Vietnam, one of the most anticipated musical
The series of "Duyen Dang Viet Nam (Vietnam's Charms), hosted by Thanh Nien, has become the most watched performance show in the country
events of the year in the country, are donated to the scholarship fund. The fund is further augmented by the generous offers of several benefactors. Until now, Thanh Nien has granted as many as 3,137 scholarships worth more than 3 billion VND.
In a bid to select, nurture, and prepare budding football players for the national team, Thanh Nien kicked off its Under-21 National Championship in 1997, a popular soccer competition held every year.

Klaus Knopper answers your Linux questions
Ask Klaus
Open to Possibilities
Hi Klaus,
I'm an old PC/Windows guru from the days when PCs often didn't have CMOS or Real Time Clocks and adapted to them. In Linux Magazine 150 (my first issue), Neil was asking about Linux on a notebook with CMOS issues, and it caught my eye.
First, I've never known CMOS storage to fail, but after 3 or more years the backup batteries can easily fail. In a desktop, you just replace what is typically a CR2032 cell. My own desktop will need just such a battery anytime; it's been going a little over 5 years!

6 Credits
ENG 110 required.* Students who have not completed ENG 110 prior to earning 61 credits are required to take both ENG 110 and ENG 202. Courses designed to improve communications skills relevant for the successful pursuit of a university education and for the enhancement of career opportunities.
*All entering students are required to take ENG 110 (Freshman Composition), which is an introductory course in expository writing, unless exempt due to previous coursework. A score of 450 on the writing or critical reading portion of the SAT (or 21 on the ACT) is needed to enroll in ENG 110.

text: The Best Cookbooks to Give Mom 10 Cookbooks For Moms, by Moms by Anna Monette Roberts 5/09/13 2 Reactions 14 Shares Print 2 1 9 2 0 This Mother's Day, gift mom one of these family cookbooks, written by celebrities, chefs, and food bloggers who are also moms. Whether she's devoted to health-conscious eating, fanatic about ethnic cuisine, or considers herself a comfort food queen, she'll love one of these famous titles and hopefully reward you with some home-cooked meals that you'll both appreciate. Fast Weeknight Meals What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Those first two key words will make any mom's eyes sparkle. If your mom is a busy lady looking for ways to cut down on her time in the kitchen, then Giada De Laurentiis's Weeknights With Giada: Quick and Simple Recipes to Revamp Dinner ($35) is the cookbook to gift her. Being a working mom with a tight schedule, Giada knows how to make delicious and fresh food happen fast, with recipes like broiled tilapia with mustard-chive sauce and wagon wheel pasta with pancetta and peas. 1 / 10 Recipes Entwined With Stories What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Moms who love a good story as much as a good recipe will appreciate A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes From My Kitchen Table ($15) by Molly Wizenberg. She's better known as the author of the food blog Orangette and is a new mom to a baby girl. The book (written before the birth of her daughter) chronicles her relationship with food and her parents. You can't help but get swept up in her nostalgic spirit for her mother's pound cake or her father's mayonnaise-y potato salad. 2 / 10 Nothing But the Good Stuff What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If your mom is health-conscious, consider gifting her Gwyneth Paltrow's new publication It's All Good: Delicious, Easy Recipes That Will Make You Look Good and Feel Great ($32). The mother of two has wowed us once again with some of her latest recipes; our office loves her quinoa granola. 3 / 10 Budget-Friendly Meals What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Moms who are budget queens will be instant fans of Melissa d'Arabian's Ten Dollar Dinners: 140 Recipes and Tips to Elevate Simple, Fresh Meals Any Night of the Week ($25). A mom of four herself, Melissa knows how to feed a large group with small dollar bills. There's no skimping on the flavor here, with recipes like shrimp scampi linguine and sirloin steak with shallot butter. 4 / 10 Techniques Over Recipes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sometimes Moms don't want to follow recipes and prefer learning new techniques. If that's the case, your mom will love Alice Waters's In the Green Kitchen: Techniques to Learn by Heart ($28). The revolutionary Californian chef and mother has her closest culinary friends (and even her daughter) contribute their tips, like how to perfectly roast a chicken, or my favorite, pounding a sauce using a mortar and pestle. 6 / 10 Drool-Worthy But Not Difficult Recipes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Smitten Kitchen blogger and mother Deb Perelman wanted to write an approachable, easy-to-understand cookbook full of interesting, seemingly advanced recipes, thus The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook ($35) was born. Even if your mom considers herself a beginner cook, Deb's cookbook is the one to reach for with recipes like gooey cinnamon squares and artichoke-heart-stuffed shells in lemon ricotta béchamel. 6 / 10 Exotic Recipes From Around the World What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Exotic doesn't have to mean involved. The adventurous mom who likes ethnic foods will want Padma Lakshmi's Tangy Tart Hot & Sweet: A World of Recipes For Every Day ($35). Padma's a busy TV host and mom, so she's designed recipes along the lines of tangy jicama salad, South Indian spinach and lentil soup, and barbecue Korean short ribs to offer abundant ethnic flavors without complicated instructions or ingredients. 7 / 10 Comfort Food at Its Best What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Part of the fun of visiting Mom is indulging in rich comfort food, so why not present her with Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible: The New Classic Guide to Delicious Dishes With More Than 300 Recipes ($30)? She will have the recipes to all sorts of special-occasion indulgences. Think praline french toast casserole and Texas sheet cake with chocolate fudge frosting. 8 / 10 Secretly Gluten-Free What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Aran Goyoaga, author of the famous gluten-free-food blog Cannelle et Vanille, is a mother of two, and her first print publication, Small Plates and Sweet Treats: My Family's Journey to Gluten-Free Cooking ($30), will charm any mother who longs for European fare. Aran developed enchanting recipes like baked eggs with olive oil-poached tomatoes, coppa, and brie, and nectarine, yogurt, and poppy seed cake with her gluten-free family in mind, but they are just so darn good-looking, anyone (including your mom!) will treasure her book. 9 / 10 Sugar Addict's Guide What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Should "sugar" be your mother's middle name? If she loves baking and all things sweet, then don't think twice about giving her How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking ($35) by Nigella Lawson. The book covers it all — pies, cookies, and cakes — and mama Nigella even has a section for kid-friendly fare like buttermilk birthday cake, peanut butter and jam jewels, and "dream bars." 11 / 10 2 1 9 2 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Paula DeenAlice WatersMother's DayNigella LawsonFood ShoppingCookbooksGiada De LaurentiisPadma LakshmiGwyneth Paltrow Padma Lakshmi Which Chef Had the Best Halloween Getup?

A dense and beautifully layered nose features a variety of black fruit aromas along with notes of earth, spice and game. The mouth feel is unusually sophisticated and refined with..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Another striking wine, the 2010 Pinot Noir Isabelle bursts from the glass with serious depth. The aromas and flavors are a bit on the darker side of the spectrum in the 2010. Black cherries, licorice and sweet spices all blossom as this large-scaled, voluptuous wine opens up over time."
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Pinot Noir Two Brothers, tasted from barrel, is hugely promising. There is a level of purity in the fruit that is simply beautiful. The style is a bit exuberant for the year, but all the elements are very much in balance. A blast of sweet red cherries, dried flowers and sweet spices flow..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "From a vineyard on Ribbon Ridge immediately west of Bergstroms' winery, planted only in the last half dozen years, and monopolized by them, the 2011 Pinot Noir Le Pre du Col leads with scents of licorice and tamarind; smoky black tea and nobly fungus; lemon and grapefruit oils; not to forget..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Pinot Noir Rice-Spivak Vineyard emerges from the glass with dark red cherries, flowers, mint, licorice and minerals. This is a tightly wound, more focused Pinot than the Emmaline Ann. Firm yet well-integrated tannins and bright acidity give the wine its focus and drive. Ross Cobb used..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Pinot Noir Emmaline Ann Vineyard is a gorgeous, expressive wine laced with sweet red berries, spices and flowers. The inclusion of 10-15% whole clusters gives the wine its aromatic lift. This is all subtlety and class. The delicate, sensual style is immensely appealing."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Good dark red. Black cherry, licorice and herbs on the ripe nose; reminded me a bit of cabernet. Fat and sweet but energetic too, with lovely roundness and balance to the flavors of dark cherry, currant and spices. Finishes with very sweet tannins and noteworthy persistence. A strong village..

Season 2012/13
On this day: 6 September
- 06 September 2012 07:46
- Posted by Mark Booth
Looking back through the history books for the events, signings and memorable matches that happened on this day in City's history.
Wednesday 6th September 1967
Goals from Paul Hince and Neil Young give City a 2-0 win over Newcastle United at Maine Road as Joe Mercer's side record their third successive League victory.
The strike from Hince is a dream come true, especially as it's only his fourth game for the Blues – he managed to score twice on his debut against Wes Brom six months earlier – but his hopes of nailing down a first-team spot are dashed when Francis Lee joins City from Bolton a few weeks later taking the No.7 shirt – and Hince's place with it.

Please read what students say about our courses:-
"I learned a lot during my 12 weeks' pronunciation course, and my communication skills have improved significantly! I would definitely strongly recommend this course to anyone whose first language is not english and are struggling to improve their skills." (Jia, Engineer, China)"
"I have learned so much and I have become more familiar with what I need to improve and how I can achieve my goal. The course definitely had a positive effect on my language and I am more confident with my job now." (Dr Cheh, Lecturer, Iran)
"Before this course I didn't know how to speak properly. Here, I have received the guidance I needed. I found the root of my accent problem and I have been given support to help me solve the issues. I am glad that I made the decision to take this course, it made a huge impact on the way I speak English. Thank you." (Mr Wang, Accountant, China)
"I participated in 12 weeks of training with the aim of improving my English pronunciation skills at work. I achieved a high improvement in my pronunciation. I am very pleased that I had the opportunity to work with a very professional and outstanding teacher. I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks a lot to Australia English Institute". (Mr Timalsena, Manager, Nepal)
"Fantastic course – the instructor was very knowledgeable and motivated, and will help you improve your English speaking skills." (Dmitri, University Lecturer, Russia)
"It was a wonderful and valuable experience for me. The course helped me to gain confidence in improving my English accent. I believe it provides me a tool to continually improve my English accent for the rest of my life. I really enjoyed the whole course and appreciated the teacher's kindness, patience and encouragement during the course. It's flexibility was suitable for my busy schedule and by attending to the constructive weekly assignments, it showed me a new angle to understand English. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their English accent." (Mrs Lin, Accountant, China)
"I just wanted to say thank you very much for the course and your patience with me. For 10 years I have been struggling with patients not understanding me. But now they understand me clearly and I have much more confidence." (Mrs L, Nurse, South Africa)
"I enjoyed the Accent Reduction course. It has improved my speech, reading and audibility. Before, people complained that they couldn't hear and understand me. But now the story is different, they can hear and understand me. I strongly recommend this course to others." (Fr A, Priest, Nigeria)
"The course was great, it gave me confidence and all the practical tools I needed to improve my English and reduce my accent. Proof of this was the 3 or 4 unsuccessful job interviews I had prior to the course. After only half of my accent reduction course was completed I went for another interview which was successful thanks to the personalized teaching methods and genuine commitment that made the course very enjoyable and effective. I had asked several other companies prior to finding Australia English Institute, each of them told me it was impossible to get results without lessons in person. However my accent coach at Australia English Institute tailored the programme to my specific requirements regardless of the fact that I lived in a remote area and we could not meet face to face. Thanks again for your dedication, help and patience." (Mr Acosta, Scientist, Columbia)
"The accent reduction course really helped me to speak with confidence and to correct mistakes I have been making. Actually all this time I did not know that I was making all those errors in speaking till I started doing this course. I learnt a lot about how to improve my communication skills and I never thought some things actually would influence the way I speak and how others will understand me. I recommend this to anybody." (D, Sri Lanka)
"I've completed the accent reduction course. I highly recommend this course, it has not only improved my pronunciation but it has also given me the tools to keep on improving. The teacher was very good; she made me aware of the most noticeable mispronunciations and some mistakes that I would not have noticed otherwise. I always looked forward to my weekly lessons, they were fun!" (Tania, Nurse, Columbia)
"I am pleased to share the wonderful information I received this morning in regard to my interview that you assisted me with. I am the successful candidate! I was full of confidence about the job and managed to answer all of the questions with the same confidence. Our preparation and practice have assisted me in a big way, stabilising my confidence and in answering the given scenarios. I'll officially start my new position as from next Monday." (Mr P, Manager, Serbia)
"This course has been really valuable in helping redefine what communication actually is, its value and how to own it as a function in your work. Really comprehensive and relevant. Excellent sessions for reinforcing ways we can do our jobs better and add value to our organization." (Mr Altmimi, Engineer, Iraq)
"I now feel more confident and no longer have to repeat myself when I speak with patients or other staff." (Dr K, Medical Practitioner, India)
"I am really glad that I had the opportunity to work with a professional and outstanding teacher. She helped me a lot and my English pronunciation has improved significantly." (Roberta, MBA Student, Italy)
"The teaching was very good. Exactly what I have been searching for, the perfect course for anyone who is looking to improve their skills. It was a very good learning experience." (Ayser, Teacher, Iraq)
"…good teachers and I really enjoyed the lessons. I think I've already reached some of my learning goals (even before my course was finished)." (Katrin, Germany)
"Thank you very much for encouraging me and guiding me throughout the course. I have learned a lot of skills and I feel my awareness of English communication has now reached a new level. I will continue to apply the skills I have learned in my daily life." (Li, Accountant, China)
"A very pleasant experience." (Min, China)
"It doesn't just improve your language, it also changes the way you look at your job." (Ms Choi, Accountant, China)
"I really recommend this 1:1 program, because the teacher was nice and flexible in planning the lessons to suit my needs. It was also very different from the normal classroom teaching, which was in my opinion better and not so boring because I could see all the sights of the city and learn English pronunciation at the same time."
(Alexandra, Student, Germany)
"When I had a job interview, I was given feedback that I needed to reduce my accent. That's how and why I decided to enrol in the accent reduction program, which suited my objectives. I was taught how to make correct pronunciation for each sound and how to produce and project my voice effectively to listeners. I achieved more than 80% improvement comparing my accent at the beginning and end of the program. I found a job towards the end of the program, which played an important role in achieving the outcome." (Mr Takeshima, Engineer, Japan)
"Australia English Institute is one of the professional organizations for teaching English. The talent and lovely spirit of my teacher made the classes more effective. My experience with her was amazing. The lessons were informative and up-to-date. She helped me in developing my self-confidence and improving my English, the thing which the people around me noticed. Thank you for your invaluable and fruitful instructional methods. I am looking forward to pursuing my lessons with you." (Rehab, Student, Saudi Arabia)
"It was wonderful learning from you and I am so pleased we can keep in touch. I really had a good time and I have come a long way with your kind help. I just would like to say thank you so much for your teaching in the English language." (Chukpe, Student, Nepal)
"The teaching was very good and it helped me to understand the work more easily. My teacher made learning enjoyable and it made me want to study, do my homework and learn more. Lessons were always fun and not boring." (Prasit, Horticulturalist, Thailand)
"I am a nurse who has studied in Australia for 6 years and still I found it was very difficult to pass the IELT's test. I have actually struggled after trying three times, particularly with my writing. But after receiving my lessons, my writing skills have improved dramatically. Compared with my old pieces of writing, it is now making more sense and the structure and content are more clearly outlined. I am looking forward to doing more study with Australia English Institute." (Xin, Nurse, China)
"My teacher was very good and kindly took the time to invest in me and my learning. I appreciated the support I received even after my study was complete. Thank you for your help." (Shimon, Businessman, Israel)
"Thank you for the English workplace communication sessions you conducted recently. By concentrating on specific areas in need of improvement and ongoing practice, I have no doubt that much improvement will be gained in the future. Thank you for the resources which will be of great help long after the course has ended. Finally, the Australian bushland setting was a great place to learn." (Tong, Engineer, Cambodia)
"The training was very supportive and helped me to gain practical knowledge about applying for jobs according to an Australian standard. I am now much more confident about applying for work and appearing in an interview. The overall teaching environment was very good and very useful for any candidate who is wanting to work in Australia." (Mohammed, Scientist, India)
"I've got great news: I've passed the IELTS test!!!!! And with great results, with a 8.5 for listening, a 8 for reading, and a 7 for both writing and speaking!! I've received the Test Report Form today, and I feel so relieved now!! I'm really proud of myself, that I've finally beaten this test. Thanks very much." (Ilse, Nurse, Holland)

Washington, D.C. - Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke on the House floor this afternoon in support of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which passed by a vote of 263 to 171. Below are her remarks, as delivered:
"Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman [Barney Frank] for yielding. I thank him for being such a great maestro in orchestrating this legislation that we have before us, accompanied by so many others: Congresswoman Waters for her tremendous leadership; Congressman Spratt from the Budget Committee; Congresswoman Slaughter for her work on the Rules Committee to bring this bill to the floor; Congressman Rangel for his very, very important work as well.
"Having a piece of this bill, I commend Spencer Baucus for his leadership and some of the great ideas he brought to the table that first night and continued to bring to the discussion as we went on ahead. It's been my pleasure to work with Mr. Boehner and Mr. Blunt on this, with my colleague, Mr. Hoyer, who has invested so much time in this, and our mastermind Rahm Emanuel for his knowledge of Wall Street, his knowledge of Congress. His leadership was essential in reaching the point where we are today.
"And the place that we are today is to debate legislation that I think is much improved from the product that was here on Monday. And as we debate this legislation, we must do so with an eye to the future. We must reassure the American people that this crisis will lead to reforms that will strengthen their personal economic security, that the bright light of accountability will protect the taxpayers and ferret out the abuses that have led to this crisis.
"The urgency is clear. We hear it from our friends, from our neighbors. We hear it every place we turn. In my own state of California, officials including the governor, are urgently calling for federal legislation to avoid economic catastrophe. Those urgent calls are being echoed by Democratic and Republican governors from across the country.
"While the focus has been on the Dow Jones and Wall Street, we are addressing the real pain felt by Mr. and Mrs. Jones on Main Street. They are why we must pass this legislation today. Seniors and those nearing retirement have watched their savings dwindle, and their pensions evaporate. Entrepreneurs seeking a plan for new business are being turned away from credit, undermining job creation. If you're trying to buy a car, you cannot get a car loan. If you're trying to sell a car, you can't get a business loan to purchase inventory. If you're trying to save for your children's college education, you're deeply in doubt as to whether your savings will be there.
"And just this morning, the Labor Department announced that another 159,000 Americans lost their jobs in September--the most in five years. Nearly 800,000 Americans lost their jobs this year alone.
"These are the Americans we must act on behalf of today. They are not the high flyers on Wall Street, but our neighbors and constituents and they need our help.
"Let us be clear: the original rescue bill proposed by the Bush Administration was unacceptable, as has been indicated by Mr. Boehner. It asked us to commit $700 billion dollars in taxpayers' money with few safeguards. We rejected that proposal in a bipartisan way. In our bipartisan negotiations between the White House and the Congress, we demanded tough additions to the bill, and they are contained in this legislation.
"To protect the taxpayers, we insisted on tough oversight and accountability. To further protect the taxpayers, we wanted to make sure that as we bought this illiquid paper that Mr. Paulson was talking about, and as we invested capital into these companies that we are helping to make healthy, that the American taxpayer would profit.
"Mr. Spencer Baucus was quite vocal on that subject when we met that first Thursday night, two weeks and one day ago, about if we are going to make those companies healthier, why shouldn't we just invest capital in them so the taxpayer can benefit?
"Thanks to John Tanner from Tennessee. If this does not pay for itself, as some say that it can't, and if there is a shortfall, the taxpayer will be made whole. That recoupment that Mr. Tanner put forth, I think, is a tremendous advance in this legislation and a protection for the taxpayer.
"We also reformed CEO compensation and an end to golden parachutes. Our message to Wall Streeters: 'the party is over.' No longer will you drive your business into the ground, take a golden parachute to safety, and have the taxpayer pick up the tab.
"Thanks to Congresswoman Maxine Waters, this legislation will do a great deal to help families avoid foreclosure, and enable them to stay in their homes.
"Since the bill came to the floor earlier this week, it has been further improved by increases in insurance for checking and savings accounts which protect savers, small businesses and community banks across America. I am especially pleased that the plan benefits middle-income families with the extension of the $1,000 per couple for state and local property tax deduction. One thousand dollars for those who do not itemize deduction in their property taxes. And I thank Jim Clyburn, our Democratic Whip, for his leadership in this regard.
"I'm also pleased that the bill includes an extension of tax cuts for clean renewable energy that will create and save half a million good-paying paying jobs in America immediately. This was a part of our energy bill last year; it did not survive the Senate. It now has become a part of this legislation. And it is paid for. And it is paid for. We fought hard to include these critical tax cuts, again as I said, in last year's landmark legislation because they are central to job creation.
"And aren't we all pleased that across America it is a time for celebration that the legislation includes the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. Patrick Kennedy and Mr. Ramstad, I hope he's here so I can convey to him the gratitude of the American people to both of them for their leadership, without which we would not be having this important legislation today.
"By requiring that illness in the brain be treated just like illnesses elsewhere in the body, for insurance purposes, we're helping to end discrimination against those who seek treatment for mental illness. This legislation will also save lives.
"So there are some things in here that have been added since the other day that are very important. Legislation has passed the House over and over again, but never could make it through the Senate, and now it has. That doesn't take away from the fact that we've been dealt a mighty bad hand--the core part of this legislation. But it has been improved; it is a compromise, but it is just a start.
"Passing this legislation is only the beginning of our work to protect the economic future of the American people. With the work in these past two weeks, we've seen things we never thought we would see before--in terms of the economic security of our own country.
"With this legislation, $700 billion, we have broken new ground with how we deal with this crisis. But we will not leave it broken. Chairman Waxman, Chairman Peterson, Chairman Frank will hold a series of hearings to determine the origins of the crisis, how regulators and business leaders failed to protect the public interest, and the common sense, reasonable regulations needed to provide security and stability in the future.
"We must look ahead to protect Americans from unsavory lending practices and to bring a better balance to our bankruptcy laws. But today we must begin by passing this bill. And as we do so, we must keep in mind our commitment to fiscal discipline, to not increasing the deficit. That's the overriding question I have from people, among others: 'Why so much? Will it work?' We'll see. 'What does it do to our opportunities to invest in the American people?' Well, we hope it will pay for itself and if it doesn't, then the fees will be there to cover it. But apart from that, we cannot get into the thinking that we can just put out all this money without the thought that it would be heaping mounds of debt onto our children unless we have recoupment.
"And so it is a problem for us as we go into a new Presidency and a new Congress. But under the leadership of Mr. Spratt, and working with others in the House and the Senate with the new President of the United States, 'no new deficit spending' must be our mantra.
"This is a vote with real consequences. A vote that will shape, or begin to shape the financial stability of our country, and the economic stability of our people. This is an important vote, this is a difficult vote, but it is a vote that we must win for the American people. We must win it for Mr. and Mrs. Jones on Main Street."

Seen here, at the Brussels auto show is the first sight of the F30 3 series M Sport looking great with the optional Style 403M 19″ wheels and the blue M sport brakes that we've been mentioning. As we just posted about, it hasn't yet been decided whether the blue M Sport brakes will be a part of the M Sport Package or optional.
Also being displayed with this F30 M Sport model are some BMW Performance and M Performance – an M Performance alcantara dashboard cover with carbon fiber fabric trim, a performance flat bottom alcantara steering wheel with red center marker, and performance racing pedals. Some F30 exterior BMW M Performance and Performance parts were spotted for the first time just yesterday. See inside … CONTINUED
Now that the F30 3 series has been officially introduced to the world at the 2012 Detroit NAIAS, expect a lot more public sightings. Spotted just this morning in Toronto were three F30 3 series – a black 335i Sport Line model on the back of a trailer and a Melbourne Red and Havana Metallic F30 at the BMW Canada HQ in Richmond Hill.
Note by Admin (Jason):
Remember, because these are preproduction cars, we still see the development license plate base attached to these F30s. As we've confirmed via BMW, the production cars will not have any license plate base attached/molded from the factory.
For BMW, the BMW 3 Series is the focus of attention at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). The sixth generation of the BMW 3 Series Sedan is world's best-selling premium car. Have a look at the wide range and the different lines, together with BMW Group Chief Designer Adrian van Hooydonk.
We haven't seen the long wheelbase F30 since our most recent spy photos from last July, but it's now been revealed in China. Seen here is a 335Li, which will be manufactured in China for sale only in China (like all new F30s for the Chinese market) and provides for more spacious backseat area with more legroom. The BMW 3-series Li will debut at the Beijing Autoshow in April 2012.
Here's some great news for the 3 series touring fans in the US – the US market will receive the F31 3 series touring! BMW's decision to bring the 5 Series GT to the US and nip the F11 5 series touring in return had us all a bit worried whether the 3 series touring to be unveiled later this year would share a similar fate.
Fortunately, Paul Ferraiolo, Manager, Product Planning & Strategy of BMWNA, confirmed with us during 2012 Detroit NAIAS that the next generation F31 3 series touring will make it stateside again:
"It's coming, we're not gettting rid of it, we love it", Ferraiolo said when we asked about the next generation 3 series touring. More from Ferraiolo: "The touring buyers – in … CONTINUED
From a dealer presentation event for BMW Performance Parts come the first views of the BMW Performance parts for the F30 3 series. Both the M Sport and non-M Sport accessories are seen here.
Parts we can see include carbon fiber splitters, carbon fiber front lip, gloss kidney grilles, 19″ wheels, performance racing stripes, and painted rear bumper diffuser.
On the standard F30, you can see the BMW Performance sideskirts and gloss black wheels with red pinstripes.
Expect a whole host of the standard types of BMW Performance parts – brakes, mirror covers, software tune, suspension, etc. once the F30 BMW Performance parts catalog is officially announced.
Here's another highlight of the 2012 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), the Active Hybrid 3.
Seen here in Modern Line configuration, the Active Hybrid 3 combines BMW's smooth 3.0l N55 inline 6 and an electric motor for a maximun output of 335hp and 450Nm. It does 0-62kph in less than 5.9 seconds and returns 37 miles to the gallon. To further improve mpg there's also an intelligent navigation system to optimize your routes for a hybrid. Unlike other hybrids the Actibe Hybrid 3 doesn't compromise boot capacity too much (390 liters).
There's no word on pricing yet, but if the just-announced pricing for the Active Hybrid 5 is any hint we'd expect it to be in the ballpark of $ 50,000. The Active Hybrid 3 will … CONTINUED
Our live coverage from the 2012 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) continues. From the NAIAS show floor, here are the first photos of the US M Sport 335i (F30) in Estoril Blue II debuting in North America.
Compared to our earlier coverage on the European spec M Sport package, you can see several differences for the US: For one there are the obvious orange reflectors which are integrated subtly. The US version also has no fog lights which makes for a sportier appearance (the reason for the fog light delete is to enhance cooling). European models will retain the fog lights.
On to the interior, there's the lovely M Sport steering wheel and the exclusive trim with blue accent strips (no worries, trims without blue accents are … CONTINUED
We're here live at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS) where the star of the BMW display this year, the 2012 BMW 3 Series Sedan (F30), has just made its North American debut.
On display so far is a base model (no lines) F30 328i in arctic silver, a 335i luxury line, and a 328i sport line. We're told that the M Sport will be hitting the floor a bit later so we'll try to snag some photos when it makes its appearance.
The F30′s official launch to market comes in just over a month – on February 11th. While the full F30 online configurator with pricing hasn't yet launched, we're told that it should be up by next week.
For now, we have plenty of resources for you … CONTINUED

At night I saw a security guard on the ground floor (mainly to check IDs for the bar on ground level) but makes it feel a little safer. Love how close it is to Chinatown and the train stations. Can get to airport really easily through Museum. Light used by the 10+ people in room might be an issue for some. Also some noise from street. "

The NADA story began in 1917 when 30 auto dealers traveled to the nation's capital to convince Congress not to impose a luxury tax on the automobile. They successfully argued that the automobile is a necessity of American life, not a luxury. From that experience was born the National Automobile Dealers Association. Today, NADA represents nearly 16,000 new-car and -truck dealerships with about 32,500 franchises, both domestic and international.
1917: NADA is launched from successful dealer effort to cut vehicle luxury tax from 5 percent to 3 percent.
1918: NADA holds first annual meeting in Chicago, sets up HQ in St. Louis, gets first major legislation—National Motor Vehicle Theft Law—and soon starts publishing NADA Bulletin, precursor to NADA's AutoExec.
1931: NADA creates first factory-dealer contracts.
1933: N.A.D.A. Official Used Car Guide debuts (40,000 copies); NADA membership is at a Depression-low 2,200, but, with FDR's help, jumps to 20,000 the next year.
1941: NADA moves from Detroit to Washington, D.C.
1944: "NADA Battalions"—association-recruited mechanics—involved in D-day invasion of Normandy.
1952: NADA president appears on Ed Sullivan program (to encourage voting).
1954: NADA lobbies for dealer exemptions to Taft-Hartley and for eliminating automakers' "phantom freight" charges.
1956: NADA launches insurance program (later NADIT) and, the next year, retirement plan (later NADART).
1960: First quality dealer award (from Saturday Evening Post) given at NADA convention.
1968: Frank E. McCarthy begins 33-year career as chief executive; 20 Groups launched and, two years later, American Truck Dealers formed.
1975: NADA builds McLean, Va., HQ; launches Dealers Election Action Committee and Legal Defense Fund.
1977: Charitable foundation established.
1979: Doors open at Dealer Academy.
1984: First dealer attitude survey.
1986: NADA gets Superfund exemption for dealers who collect used oil from do-it-yourselfers.
1987: NADA backs anti–odometer tampering law.
1996: NADA makes online debut; forms IT committee; helps get luxury tax phaseout law.
1997: NADA persuades IRS to let dealers settle LIFO violations.
2000: NADA redesigns and renames magazine AutoExec; debuts website offering Internet links to dealers around the country.

Well i am glad to say that there is exactly 24 hours until "Dawnguard" is officially released on the Xbox-Live Marketplace. I would like to go over any questions anyone has by giving all the know info at the time.
The "Dawnguard" DLC map will not only add 2 large NEW areas to the main "Skyrim" map, but also integrate areas into the current map allowing the player to continue exploring the large world.
There will be new skill trees for both the vampire and werewolf forms.
(Note that you are still unable to be both vampire and werewolf at the same time)
Both the vampire and "Dawnguard" HQs can be owned and used as homes in "TES:V Skyrim".
New items include: Dragon Bone weapons, (Including bows... crossbows unknown), crossbows, spells such as "Spectral Force" and the largely anticipated levitation spell seen at 8:40 in the video above, and much, much, more fancy new toys.
There will be new armor for both the vampire and the "Dawnguard" paths.
You have the ability to tame both the giant trolls seen at 6:59, and the supposed gargoyle seen at 6:31. Though not know yet, you may also be able to tame hell hounds.
For high level players, new "Legendary Dragons" will be added to the game to give a bit of challenge.
In the story, the vampires are attempting to permanently block out the sun using the "Elder Scroll" seen at 2:25 on the females back.
Vampires now have the ability to travel in sunlight and are given viles of blood to make up for feeding on NPCs (Though you are still able to feed on NPCs at free will).
The 2 red sigels on the map are those of "Markarth" in the bottom left, and "Solitude" in the top left. I speculate that this may be the general area of which the "Dawnguard" DLC takes place.
Players will journey back into a portion of "Oblivion" know as the "Soul Cairn".
Though that is all that is known at the moment, i will be back with more. In addition, if you have any more to add, E-Mail me at email@example.com
