We have type of trellis that runs over two clothes line posts about twenty ft apart. Last year we grew cukes and they did well.
My question is, will squash climb the same as cukes?
We have type of trellis that runs over two clothes line posts about twenty ft apart. Last year we grew cukes and they did well.
summer squash I think mostly not, but this year I am trying a climbing zucchini Trombocino I think is the name.
Boy howdy(!) will Trombocino climb! And you'll love it, too!
(For more info and pics see my article in the Article Forum.)
Cucumbers will pretty much climb on their own but squash (other than Trombocino) doesn't actually seek out and grab a hold like cuke vines do. If you help to guide them onto the trellis you can get zucchini plants to grow upright though. I once had a zucchini plant grow about 5 ft tall on a tomato stake. (I tied the vine up like you tie a tomato plant.)
at one time there was a summer squash that climbed but in thos days most did later 50s early sixtys am sure it can be got on e bay
Yah just can't train up a good squash anymore....
Thanks Shoe- I haven't even been to the articles yet.(only a six month subscriber here) I will look. I did read PF about it, you probably had one of the rave reviews there too. Just cross fingers I can keep the squash bugs/cuke beetles under control. I skipped all the squash type stuff last year because they were SO bad in 2005.
sallyg...I had great success with Trombocino and very little attacks from bugs...never saw a single cuke beetle on them and very few squash bugs (and the few that were attracted to it came after my other squash plants bit the dust).
I think my garden is like yours...I can only grow other types of squash for a "short season"..in other words I get a small harvest then the bugs take over. (However, sometimes I put out a few plants later in the year for a second crop, hoping the squash bugs have given up!)
Here is a direct link to the article I mentioned above. Although it is also on our DG "Articles" forum I think it looks much better (and easier to read) at this link: http://gardens.com/learn/article/16/
Happy Growing!
Thanks, Shoe! (you all should check out the picture at the end of that article)
I'm really looking forward to the Tromboncino now .
Squash bugs really loved my gourds the most. Cuke beetles loved the cukes, and amaranth. I did well with a yellow summer squash, until the borers got to it, Despite trying to put dirt on the stems for more rooting. Winter squash hasn't done well for me, but pumpkins have been OK.
Butternut squash would be good for you as the borers are not attracted to the hard stems of that one, unlike the hollow stems of many other squash. Plus butternut is a great storage squash! yay!
I used amaranth (Love Lies Bleeding) one year as a trap crop for cuke beetles. I had cuke plants growing all around it and the cuke beetles pretty much stayed on the amaranth quite a long time, leaving the cukes alone UNTILL the amaranth lost its health, became nearly defoliated, and then the beetles finally found my cuke plants attractive.
Moral of the story...use Amaranth as a trap crop but know when to either zap the beetles with something (soap spray? Neem oil, maybe?) and then pull up the amaranth, carrying away any eggs along with it. Perhaps that'll help the cuke plants to continue on with far fewer beetles in the neighborhood, eh?
sigh- maybe I'll make a nice good composty hill and try the butternut again. That's my favorite winter squash.
This, after I get another piece of fence to keep the groundhogs out....
I might put the cukes in a pot up on the deck and Really try to fool the cuke beetles. I swear, they saw me Look at them on the amaranth and took off. so hard to hit. If my amaranth self sows I'll really try to keep an eye on it and spray early- I can see me out there sneaking up on the little amaranth with a big net and throwing it over to trap the beetles, and then spraying them.......
Hey- do you think flea beetles or cuke beetles are the thing eating my swiss chard? I always get it riddled with holes, a lot like the holes in the amaranth from the cuke beetles. and can never find the culprit.
From what I understand, ground hog (we call them "whistle pigs" here) go great in a baking pan with some butternut or sweet potatoes nestled up next to them! *grin
If you try growing cukes in a pot/container you might like some of the bush cukes as they don't throw off yards of vines but stay somewhat compact. Or, if you choose to grow your cukes in your garden beds again try Little Leaf; it is parthenocarpic (produces cukes without the need for pollination) and you can grow it non-stop with Reemay/row cover over it, keeping insects off the plant but yet still getting a crop.
As for the holes in your chard, yes, flea beetles could be the culprit and they love chard when it is small-ish but will also go for it during the hottest days of summer. If they are small hole, flea beetles; if larger holes they could be European corn borers (caterpillars) but you'd most likely see those.
Wishing you a great garden this year!
Speaking of butternut squash, it makes wonderful soup. We love em, in fact I still have a few stored in the pumphouse. I have raised acorn too but I really prefer the butternut.
So that Trombocino, is it like zucchini? Green summer squash?
To me, Lenjo, it is like both a summer and a winter squash (cus it can store fairly well if dried correctly).
If you look at the pics, the long "neck" of the squash is solid "meat"...all the seeds are down in the bulbous part at the far end. The neck can be sliced cross-wise into 'coins' for easy battering/frying or inserting on kabobs or whatever.
The taste is all it's own, to me not quite like a zuke taste or a yellow squash taste.
Lenjo; it is a variant of the butternut, which can also be used as a summer squash. Many folks here use them almost exclusively as summer squash. Neck pumpkins fit in the same category.
I had never heard of it till this thread. It sounds like from Shoe's description a little like a yellow crook neck in appearance except green?
Nope, far from being any kind of yellow squash. (See the link above referring to the article and pics..those pics alone will tell you much about what it looks like.)
As for taste, nothing like a butternut, either in taste or texture, or like a standard yellow squash.
I bet you'd love growing and eating it though!
Well, Shoe, I went to your article and that was very enlightening. I never did see such a squash with that long of a neck. It is longer than any old swan neck gourd. On Moondance Farm do you raise enough vegetables to take to Farmer's Markets?
Yes, definitely....I've been selling at our local Farmers' Mkt for nearly 20 years now. (And customers love the Trombocino!)
If you like squash you'll enjoy growing (and eating!) Trombocino. My other favorite is the "Patty Pan' types, preferably the whites.
The trouble is with squash, one bush or vine is 1/2 too many when there are just two of us. I do try to keep hens around and they help out. I will look for the trombocino seed. I tried Farmer's Market one summer/spring with my greenhouse garden plants and I guess I didn't have the drive or interest as I did not do very well. I love going to Farmer's Markets but there are so many farm stands around that a lot of people buy their produce this way too. But here on our farm our focus is on berries and that takes any extra time I want to give especially once harvest begins.
White Patty pans- whats the deal? How do you like them cooked? I have stuck with yellow , straight or crooknecks, sliced, with onion, tasty. do patty pans taste better?
Yep, white patty pans. I like the white ones over the yellow ones cause they can get to a bigger size before they start to turn "pithy", like a large yellow patty pan does.
As for my favorite way to eat 'em!:
Patty Pan Squash (Scallop Squash)
Use the squash(s) that most resemble a bowl. (You can cook quite a few of these at a time. It�s up to the size of your steamer pot and skillet.)
Cut the very top off.
Scoop out the innards of the bottom part with a spoon creating your bowl.
Put the top and the hollowed out �bowl� in a steamer basket and start cooking.
While it�s cooking�
Sautee some fresh onions and several cloves of smashed garlic in a bit of olive oil. When onions are translucent add squash innards. Cook until tender but NOT overcooked (overcooking turns them mushy and turning into nothingness)!
The onions/garlic/innards should be done about the same time as the �bowls and tops�.
Remove the bowls, gently, and place on plate or serving platter. Fill with the saut�ed goodies and a dab of butter (if you like butter). Also, if you like, you can top with grated cheese. Put the tops on to hold in the heat and help the cheese melt.
This dish makes a great presentation and is delicious! Eat hearty, bowl and all!
(Psst!�I like to add a little salt to mine but will leave that choice up to the diners, they can add it at the table if they choose.)
Pic below shows the finished product, resting next to some sautee'd Swiss Chard. Yummy!
Oh Horseshoe, the chef too, my goodness, that looks great. And your DG mug too. I am duly impressed. I bet the Missus sure likes having you cook.
ok sounds tasty! thanks for the photo. looks like a great veggie dinner.
I adore Trombocino and it always survives my awful squash and cucumber beetles. To me, it's got a much firmer texture and the flavor is almost nuttier than regular summer squash. I'd never be without it and that goes even if I could grow any squash I wanted to. I do find that the cucumber beetles are not as attracted to my Diva cucumber as they are to the other kinds I grow. I was successful one year growing it on my front porch(I trained it up the columns) away from my other vegies. I'd go out each morning with a cup of coffee and a cup of soapy water to flick the bugs into. :-D It was a lot easier to see them and there were never as many.
This year, I'm going to try keeping my plant covered with row cover fabric until they flower. This sounds kind of cumberson to me since I grow everything up a trellis but I'm keeping my fingers crossed it works.
Sure appreciate all the input. Can't wait for the trombocino to start.
Cleo- just make sure you remember which cup is which~~~
Mmmmmm.....yummy! Cucumber beetle coffee! :-D

In our labs with us now is the new P7P55D-E EVO motherboard from ASUS, which we will be using for this editorial. This is one of the latest additions to the Intel P55 Express chipset-based board lineup ASUS has. Unlike their slightly more colourful X58 chipset-based boards, the P55 board uses a pretty mild, yet pleasing blue color scheme. You can only find blue, light blue, and light grey on this board (besides the black PCB).
You would probably have noticed that the northbridge has gone missing. The P55 Express is a single-chip solution; basically just a southbrige, and it has been covered by a huge funky-looking heatsink at the bottom-left of the board. The processor communicates directly with the PCI Express x16 slots and the memory. However, when running CrossFire, the two PCI Express x16 slots operate as an electrical x8 pair because there are only a total of 16 lanes available.
The socket is somewhat different from the previous generation's LGA 775. For the LGA 1156, the socket cover and securing arm open towards the same direction. On to the power circuitry, the P7P55D-E EVO uses a 12+2 phase VRM design; 12 phases are for the Vcore, while the other two phases are dedicated to the integrated memory controller. In addition to the 12+2 phase power, ASUS has what it calls a T.Probe microchip, which is located near the socket. This chip actively monitors and balances power loads across the many available phases on the board to ensure lower temperatures across the VRM and extend its lifespan.
With active monitoring and a rather beefy VRM design, I'm sure this board would more than welcome those who like to push their systems quite a bit by overclocking. In fact, ASUS has an Auto Tuning feature stuffed in the BIOS. You could set a tuning level, then allow the BIOS to detect and adjust settings (which would take 5 minutes), and you have an overclocked machine. There is built-in stability testing; those who have no experience in overclocking and stress-testing need not worry much when using this feature either.
The expansion slots are well sorted. If you were to run a pair of graphics cards with dual-slot coolers in CrossFire or SLI, you would still have a space of one slot in between both cards to prevent heat buildup and poor airflow to the primary card.
Besides the two PCI Express x16 slots, we have three PCI Express x1 slots, and another two PCI slots. Basically you would have no problems plugging in say a PCI Express x16 graphics card, a sound card on PCI Express x1, and a TV tuner card that runs off PCI.
Like all other latest ASUS boards, the D-E EVO utilizes a unique PCI Express x4 bridge chip to provide true USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s support.
Unlike other implementations, you will still be able to get the full bandwidth available from these ports even while running CrossFire or SLI.
Other standard features include a VIA 8-channel HD audio, and dual Realtek Gigabit LAN ports.
This board is priced competitively at $399.
ASUS EAH5850 (Radeon HD 5850 1GB)
With NVIDIA yet to push Fermi (their next-generation graphics card) out of the door yet, ATI with its Radeon HD 5000 series of cards is the only sole vendor that provides DirectX 11 capable hardware.
The AMD Radeon HD 5850 card here from ASUS is just as quick as the fastest single card from NVIDIA. But do take note, the HD 5850 isn't the fastest single card in AMD's lineup – that would be the HD 5870. However you'll have to fork out over $600 for that, compared to $419 for the HD 5850.
Both the HD 5850 and HD 5870 have the same-looking cooler design, but in terms of card (and cooler) length, the former is shorter. The Radeon HD 5850 is clocked at 725MHz core clock, and 1000MHz for its GDDR5 memory (4000MHz data rate). As the HD 5000 series is manufactured on a 40nm process, power consumption is comparatively lower to any of the previous generation cards.
The Radeon HD 5850 uses a two-slot cooling design for efficient and quiet removal of heat fron the card, and out of the system. Display outputs are aplenty with dual DVI connectors, a HDMI connector, and also a DisplayPort connector. Power is supplied to the card via a pair of 6-pin PCI Express power connectors.
The HD 5850 from ASUS comes with an in-house voltage tweak utility. Gamers and enthusiasts can use the ulility to bump voltage further on the card to allow for more overclocking headroom. Performance gains are expected to be near an impressive 40%.
The Radeon HD 5850 supports DirectX 11 straight out of the box and offers stellar performance at a price that won't break the bank. This card would be great for anyone who is looking to build a future-proof Windows 7 rig.

It's super so far for Ally McCoist
It may have escaped your notice that Rangers have won 12 games out of 12 in Scottish League One. Some going.
Rubbish you may say, they should be winning every match 5-0.
True, they have superior players, but don't forget for the opposition taking on Rangers is the biggest match of their lives and the desire to beat them is intense, so for Ally McCoist's men to have maximum points is worthy of praise, especially with the club's financial future still so uncertain.
I'm pleased for McCoist (pictured) and although they wouldn't admit it, Celtic fans should be too.
The sooner the Gers return to the top flight the better for all concerned, including Celtic who could do with some competition in the Scottish Premiership and the excitement that Old Firm derbies bring.

I watched this video from bubzbeauty about how she makes her own oatmeal facial cleanser and decided to try it. So glad I did! My face looks sooo much better! I'm not sure how well it will take off makeup, but if I am wearing some I usually take a washcloth soaked in hot water and lay it on my face after doing my oatmeal cleanse and let it steam my pores until it gets cold, afterward gently rubbing to exfoliate and really get that makeup off. Anyway, I've been doing the oatmeal cleanse twice daily and doing the DK regimen as usual for a over a month now. I couldn't be happier, and just wanted to share it with you. <3 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Value Types and Reference Types
A data type is a value type if it holds the data within its own memory allocation. A reference type contains a pointer to another memory location that holds the data.
Reference types include the following:
All arrays, even if their elements are value types
Class types, such as Form
You can assign either a reference type or a value type to a variable of the Object data type. An Object variable always holds a pointer to the data, never the data itself. However, if you assign a value type to an Object variable, it behaves as if it holds its own data. For more information, see Object Data Type.
You can find out whether an Object variable is acting as a reference type or a value type by passing it to the IsReference method on the Information class in the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace. Information.IsReference returns True if the content of the Object variable represents a reference type.

DAYTONA BEACH, FL - Grant Enfinger beat the field to the checkered flag Saturday afternoon, winning the Lucas Oil 200 presented by MAVTV American Real at Daytona International Speedway Saturday. It was his third victory in the last 21 ARCA Racing Series races.
Enfinger, from Fairhope, AL, took the lead from polesitter Dylan Kwasniewski on lap 52 and stayed there to put his the Team BCR Motor Honey-Casite-Advance Auto Parts Ford in victory lane.
"Good track position won us this race," he said. "We had the track position at the end."
Frank Kimmel finished second with Clay Campbell third. Tyler Reddick, 18, finished fifth in his first Daytona start, one spot behind teammate Tom Hessert. Reddick was the highest-finishing rookie and was named the SCOTT Rookie Challenge rookie of the race.
The rest of the top 10 included Bobby Gerhart, Mason Mitchell, Terry Jones, Chase Elliott and Sean Corr. John Wes Townley was 11th with Brian Silas 12th, Derrick Lancaster 13th, Kwasniewski 14th and Brian Rose 15th.
Enfinger, who won at Mobile and Iowa last year, started second and swapped places with Kwasniewski several times. At one point, he said, he was content with running behind Kwasniewski as he learned more about his own car. Then, he said, he tried a pass.
"I wanted to see what would happen for later in the race," he said. "Then, I drove by him. It kind of surprised me.
"The 4 (Kwasniewski) and 9 (Elliott) were good cars. I knew that anything could happen, but track position was in our favor the whole day."
A crash on lap 13 took several cars out of the race. The yellow flag came out again with 14 laps to go with Enfinger in the lead. The ARCA Racing Series has a new rule this year with its double file restarts, meaning the field came to the green, double-file. Enfinger chose the inside lane with Frank Kimmel behind him and Elliott on the outside.
"I've worked with Frank in the past and never had any issues," Enfinger said. "I had a lot of confidence."
Kimmel said his runner-up finish was a good start as he tries to defend his series championship. He said he didn't think he was going to get by Enfinger when the two were single-file coming down to the white and checkered flag.
"I think it ended the way it probably would end no matter what we did," Kimmel said. "It's great for Win-Tron Racing to start the year with a second-place finish."
Campbell, who is the president of Martinsville Speedway, had his best-ever ARCA finish. He's making two starts this season for Ken Schrader Racing, which will have a car at all 20 races on the series schedule.
"It was a blast," Campbell said. "I think I need a couple of months before I can do this again."
Campbell said he planned to follow Kimmel, whether or not he went to the outside and tried to pass Enfinger or if he stayed behind him.
"Kenny Schrader Racing gave me a great car," he said. "You can do all sorts of things here, but first and foremost you've got to have a great car."
Kwasniewski, planning to run the full season in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, took turns leading the race during the first 50 laps, but lost the draft and several positions.
"We were trying to get up there," Kwasniewski said. "We tried. Turner Scott Motorsports gave me a great car, obviously. We kind of got hung out to dry. I learned a ton today."
Elliott, 18, has one career ARCA win. He had a top five car most of the day but dropped back slightly toward the end.
"I thought we had a really good finish to get the win in the last re-start, but we didn't have any help right there," Elliott said.
Enfinger is hoping to run a full season with Team BCR and is hoping a victory at the "World Center of Racing" will help push that cause.
"I am very, very blessed to do what I love to do for a living," he said. "Having a moment like this is pretty incredible. This race means everything. Everybody knows this race. It's just great for me and Team BCR. This is just incredible."
The 51st ARCA race at Daytona had three cautions for 25 laps. Other than Enfinger (42) and Kwasniewski (34), Maryeve Dufault led four laps and was in the top five for the first third of the race. Gerhart started with a provisional after a technical inspection disallowed his qualifying lap. Then, early in the race, his car scraped the wall. But in the end, he was back into the top 10 and battling for a top five position.
Chris Bailey Jr. was the final car on the lead lap, finishing 16th.
The next event on the ARCA Racing Series schedule is March 22 at Mobile International Speedway in Mobile, AL.

When Sandra Leigh was seven years old, she fell into the role of protector of her mother and three younger siblings. One winter night, she ushered her mother out of the house during one of her father's tirades, and then snuck her back into the dark home through a window. Sandra was used to events like these; what she wasn't used to were the mountains and nature surrounding her new home in West Virginia. Raised in the city, it took some time to get used to the long, hot summer days and nights, but she soon found that the forests, rivers, and mountains were more secure and comforting than the house that held her abusive and volatile father. Catching minnows in the gentle river, riding on rope swings, and exploring the outdoors distracted her from what was waiting at home. But then, her mother became pregnant again, and Sandra's concern for her family and their well-being grew when her mother returned home from the hospital without the baby. In Two Thousand Minnows, Sandra reflects on the events of her childhood and adolescence, including the time spent traveling across the country with her anxious, worn-out family in a small, cramped car. As Sandra grows older, she realizes that what they're chasing when they move from town to town the perfect, stable life cannot exist, at least for her, until she has the answers to all the questions she never asked. As an adult, Sandra decides to stop running from the past and instead revisit it, refusing to give up until she unearths the truth and finds the sister who never came home.

Update: Vavricek Makes Plea Deal, Was Over Legal Limit
Grand Island Mayor Jay Vavricek made a plea deal Wednesday morning after being arrested on suspicion of drunk driving earlier this month.
Vavricek pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was ordered to pay a $500 fine.
Vavricek was stopped between St. Libory and St. Paul on the evening of March 2, following a citizen call to 911, according to the Nebraska State Patrol. The prosecutor said his blood alcohol content was 0.093. Nebraska's legal limit is 0.08.
NTV has spoken with several attorneys and law enforcement officers who said it is not unusual for a first offense drunk driving case to be lowered to reckless driving.
However, the Howard County Attorney opted to file the lower charge to begin with. Prosecutor David Schroeder said it was the result of a plea agreement.Vavricek's attorney, Bill Kelly said Vavricek has only a speeding ticket on his record. Kelly told the judge not to consider the media coverage of the case, and to treat Vavricek as anyone would be treated.
Kelly said the judge would have to be "living in a vacuum" not to know about Vavricek's community service to Grand Island and surrounding area.
The plea agreement was for Vavricek to plead no contest to reckless driving, and pay a $400 fine. The judge raised the fine to $500 and ordered Vavricek to pay court costs as well.
Vavricek appeared in court with his wife Jan. He told the judge he was humbled with the experience and said it would not happen again.
In a statement released following the ruling, Vavricek said, "Again, my family and I are very thankful for all the prayers, support, and acts of kindness from those who have reached out to us during this difficult time. I have learned much from my mistake and I hope to emerge from this as a better person and Mayor."

Audrey Hepburn was the Hollywood icon who pioneered chic, classic glamour and now the "lucky dress" she wore on the night of her Oscar win will be auctioned off later this month.
The timeless ivory lace gown was made for the actress' starring role alongside Gregory Peck in the 1953 classic, Roman Holiday.
It was later adapted and was her dress of choice as she swept on stage to collect her Best Actress accolade for the same film in 1954.
The look was inspired by Hubert de Givenchy, who became her costume designer and was responsible for the little black number she so famously slipped into for Breakfast At Tiffany's.
After the ceremony, Audrey gave the dress to her mother, Ella van Heemstra, who passed it on to a friend living in America.
Until now, the dress has been tucked away in a box in the bottom of a wardrobe.
The auction will be held on Tuesday November 29 in London.
The item is expected to fetch up to £60,000.

The Deseret News recently introduced its redesigned "Sunday Funnies" section. In a story announcing the change, we also indicated that the daily comics format would change on Sept. 26. We were unable to implement the changes by that date due to production challenges, but they should be coming in the next few weeks.Comment on this story
The Deseret News recently conducted a survey on its comics that drew more than 400 responses. We continue to welcome feedback at email@example.com and will use your opinions to better customize our comics pages to our readers.
Our new Sunday section features a larger, more readable format in addition to four new comics. The section is no longer combined with the Salt Lake Tribune. The new daily format will also feature larger, more readable comics, but we will continue to dedicate two full pages to daily comics and puzzles.

- How vampires should be done in the next game.
They'll likely have to compensate for this significantly.

Don't know how they'll work in lord form seeing as you have to be pure breed (Turned by Molag Via Rape) or pretty close to the strain of one.
Personally while all of your ideas are great, I'd like to add one minor one, there's diffrent Vampire clans though out Tamriel as you and other posters may have read in Immortal Blood, like the Volkair apparently being able to drag people under ice, there's a strain whose name I forgot in Valenwood that can only be dedected by candle light etc. Basically what I'm saying is that I hope the Vampires of the next game reflect the setting a bit more than they do now, maybe if the game is in Hammerfell something to do with the desert, poof into some sand and appear behind someone, something I know that's bad. I do like your ideas to have more powers and a perk tree that works for your normal form, there needs to be more too it, but at the same times downfalls.
Also I beleive you should be able to blend in at Level 4, but it should get harder not flat out 'OMG A CORPSE' or oblivions OMG A VAMPIRE, okay now you looked really gaunt but come on you could just be an old guy? No people should become suspicious over time, things like feeding on NPCs in that town will over time attract attention, and you may get found by Vampire hunters. Also IMO from Level 3 on you should get sun damage, at Level 3 it should be slow, and Shadows should lessen it, same with Level 4 but it'll go slightly faster, after some Questline there should be an arctifact that lets you walk in the daylight unharmed.
Lycanthropy should also get some buffs as well, but that's another topic, I mean the beast form is powerful but there's mentions by the companions that they have increased perception and such (like smelling things normal people can't hearing heart beats and such) which could make for some intresting powers while in human form as well.

Personally, I think they need to throw out the "drink blood and appear human" thing (or the "nobody cares as long as you don't transform into a VL in front of them" that DG introduced) or massively ramp up the downsides - it's far too easy to mitigate the negatives. Vampirism shouldn't be a flat power boost like it currently is.
That's what my version of vampire fixes. You don't simply get a power boost for being a vampire. You learn Night Eye (Vampire's Sight) and Transfusion (Vampire Drain) when you are infected, but everything else you have to work for. You do not gain all these powers simply by starving yourself. You earn them through feeding.
Drinking blood to maintain a youthful appearance is something that is very common in vampire folklore and something that shouldn't be discarded. Skyrim handled it quite poorly though. The expansion actually did the right thing by stopping townsfolk from becoming hostile when you've transgressed into later stages. People should react, but the response should make sense. You don't feel intimidating as a vampire when some random stall vendor thinks they can take you. It's also not fun from a gameplay standpoint.
My version of the vampire balances this.
If you feed, most people are going to have a friendly disposition towards you. Merchants will even give you better prices. Vampires tend to be naturally charming creatures.
If you don't feed, your corpse beings to progressively deteriorate to the point where you pretty much look like a Draugr, and your blood magic suffers. The townsfolk are going to be repulsed and feared by you. Terror is the normal reaction to seeing a corpse walking around. Factions like Vigilant of Stendarr will be on the hunt, but most people are going to be scared of you.
That is unless the people are vampires themselves.
This makes playing a vampire fun. There are obvious downsides to not feeding regularly (regularly meaning you wouldn't just be able to feed on one person and be fully restored), but it would still be entertaining to choose to play as a grotesque monster that people are actually afraid of. Looking like a corpse would be a nice touch for necromancers too.

I'll admit, I didn't read all of that, but I think if they change anything about vampires, for one thing, they should make it so that you are at your peak strength when you feed, not the other way around. It just makes no sense. No feeding = no energy, no energy = worse physical state. Mythical or not, that pretty much applies to TES as well. So I think there's that, and the fact that feeding needs to feel like its a choice, a consequence, or whatever. If you can just not feed and be strong but suffer a few downsides, big deal. If you are forced to feed or you will weaken and die, then you have the whole moral dilemma and the urgency to always be on the prowl. It's just more interesting, I think.

Vampires are already completely broken with Necromage + Dawnguard.
Giving them more buffs would be pointless.
Only thing that needs to change about Vampires is that stupid blur effect/sunlight warning everytime you go outside during the day.
They should either make it less annoying or remove it entirely.
Drinking blood to maintain a youthful appearance is something that is very common in vampire folklore and something that shouldn't be discarded.
Except TES is not common folklore. It has its own vampire lore, which is something that shouldn't be discarded. See Immortal Blood for examples of the various vampire types.

Lore-wise werewolves exist throughout Tamriel so regardless of where TES VI takes place there should be werewolves.
as you may presently now fully be aware of, my grammar sucks.

I wish sunlight would deal constant damage to vampires
That was actually a terrible gameplay mechanic, and a common misconception about vampires.
I know many movies portray sunlight as being deadly to vampires, but vampires do not burn in sun. Exposure to sunlight just makes them weak.
As for people telling me you can't become a Vampire Lord because of some stupid thing about Molag Bal having to have his way with you first. Gameplay should always take precedence over lore. Vampire Lords weren't even introduced until the expansion, and Bethesda has proven you can totally make something up to explain why something that shouldn't exist does. It doesn't even have to be all that much of stretch.
The vampire lord perk could read "Your bloodlust has earned you Molag Bol's favor. The daedric prince of domination has gifted you with the Vampire Lord form." and that would be totally sufficient.

... Immortal Blood
See here's a good example of gameplay conflicting. The Volkihar clan was not anything like the vampires described in that book. The author telling the story was also misleading the victim and hiding some details, being a vampire himself. I'd also assume there's a good bit of misinformation circulating from both stories told by superstitious townsfolk, and vampires spreading lies to further their own agenda. Nobody can really say they know the true extent of what an Elder Scrolls vampire is capable of.

GBP/USD (a 4-hour chart)
General Overview
The market is waiting for a decision on the monetary policy of the Bank of England, although it does not expect to see any changes in QE rates. GBP / USD rebounded on Monday, moving away from the big figure 1.60 to 1.6090 by the end of the session.
GBP/USD found a good support at 1.60 while the stalemate in Washington continues.
The monetary policy is not likely to change this week as Mark Carney said that it would remain the same for a long period of time.
The current buy signal is strong and confirmed, as Chinkou Span is above the price and the price broke the Ichimoku cloud. The Kijun -Sen and Tenkan -Sen are crossed in a "golden cross" on a daily chart. Both trend lines are growing parallel to each other. The cloud is growing.
Bollinger Bands show a continuation of the downward movement, the bands widen and are directed down. Short positions are recommended now. MACD is directed downward.
Trading Recommendations
The upward correction is directed to 1.6100, from which GBPUSD has strayed down and went back to the support level 1.6050.
Everything indicates the bearish trend, but for the true intentions of validation we must wait for a break of the support level 1.6050.

A former FBI agent was found guilty of drunken driving and vehicular manslaughter on Thursday in the death of an 18-year-old Prince George's County teen in a violent crash in February 2011.
Adrian Johnson was convicted on all seven charges he faced, including homicide by a motor vehicle, reckless driving and causing a life-threatening injury while under the influence of alcohol.
Friends and family of Lawrence Garner Jr., the teen who was killed in the collision on North Keys Road more than a year and a half ago, sobbed and celebrated as the verdict was read.
"They got this scumbag," one family member said while exiting the courtroom.
Prince George's County Circuit Court Judge Michael Pearson revoked Johnson's bond, and he was taken into custody until his Dec. 14 sentencing hearing.
He faces up to 13 years in prison.
Prosecutors argued Johnson was drunk and speeding 58 mph in a 40 mph zone when his car veered into the wrong lane on North Keys Road in Brandywine.
Johnson's vehicle struck Garner's Hyundai Sonata with such force that it pushed Garner back into the rear seats of the vehicle, leaving the left side of his body crushed and Johnson dying, with "blood pouring" from his wounds, said Assistant State's Attorney Sam Danai.
The crash was so loud it shook the foundations of nearby houses, he said.
Witnesses reported seeing Johnson speed past them on nearby roads shortly before the crash, and Johnson's blood-alcohol level after the crash was more than three times the legal limit of .08, according to prosecutors.
A passenger, Garner's 19-year-old friend Robert Mitchell II, was critically injured in the crash.
Johnson's attorney, Robert Bonsib, conceded that his client was speeding and had been drinking but argued the accident was unavoidable.
Garner was making a left turn onto North Keys Road from a residential driveway, and Johnson simply didn't have enough time to react to avoid hitting Garner's vehicle, Bonsib said.
"There was no way that this collision wasn't going to happen," he said.
But what Bonsib called an accident, prosecutors called gross negligence.
"This was a collision, not an accident," Danai said. "It was a collision that became inevitable as soon as [Johnson] got into that vehicle while drunk."

Owls seem to be all the rage these days! I have been very interested in creating invitations and decorations using PhotoShop lately and came up with these cuties! I hope you enjoy them! The invite would be cute if you printed it out on card stock, or if you cut it out and glued it onto card stock or cardboard.
The cup cake toppers work the same way. Just print them out (8 per sheet) and paste them onto cardboard. Attach a toothpick and you have it! Print the cupcake toppers!
Making your own invitations and decorations is a great way to save money! It is also fun to get your kids involved.

Date Reviewed: August 16, 2007
Strengths: Fast auto focus Fast write time Fast burst rate.
Auto focus is more accurate than 30D
Since it is only 4MP the file sizes are smaller than the 30D and you don't need as many memory cards.
Weaknesses: Not good at for long exposures at night. (creates white dots all over the image)
Batteries don't last as long as 30D batteries.
Since it is only 4MP cropping is more limited. Just get closer and this isn't a problem.
Sensor gets dirty easier than 30D.
Bottom Line:
This is a great camera even though it's old technology (2001) before i purchased this camera I had a Canon 10D & 30D. I sold my 10D off to purchase this camera. I still have the 30D so I've been able to compare the 2 cameras. For most jobs I choose the 1D over the New 30D. The big differences between the cameras is speed. I never noticed the shutter lag in my 30D until I got my 1D. It is like the difference between a point and shoot Digital and the 30D.
The auto focus on the 1D blows away the 30D. The 1D's tracking is just amazing. I went to a motorcycle race this summer and took both cameras. The 1D didn't have any problems tracking the motorcycles and most shots came out great. The 30D was a different story. only about 1/2 the shots came out good. The rest of them were miss focused. I used my canon 70-200 L for all the shots.
I've compared the two camera's ISO and I'd have to say they look about the same. Not much of a difference between the two. Both camera are have less noise at higher ISO speeds that the 10D.
The only major flaw in this camera is the ability to do long exposures at night. When I tried to do some long exposures there were lots of dots all over the image. The dots start around 2 seconds, by 8 seconds the images are unusable because the the dots. I never had any problems with my 10D or 30D in this area.
Since a used 1D and a new 30D is about the same price I would recommend the 1D over the 30D unless you shoot a lot of night shots or heavily crop your images.

Weaknesses: none
Bottom Line:
I've just discovered that the 1D series bodies ar true master pieces, i like it's practicality and handling , they are build like a tank comparing to the smaller bosies like the 5D, 20D, 30D, 350D, in which i discovered that i've wasted my time with the lower serieses of canon SLR mounts. The 1D Mark II N had an amazing fast focusing with super amazing view finder that contain 45 point of focus which is more that enough, the 8.5 frame per sec. is another amazing story specially for wild life photography and sports. The image quality and the preformance of the Camera is amazing but still not go as the 1Ds mark II or the 5D that equiped with the wonderful full frame sensor. they are alot of talk and alot of breath taking specification on the 1D mark II N. the end bottom is that if you got the money don't waste it on a lower digital mounts serious. the 1d is a long term invesment.

Strengths: The famous 1 series build - gaskets, magnesium body and so on. Everything worked just fine and was functional. Less the abovementioned controller... but then again, I expect that error to be software-related.
Weaknesses: Slow AF, software errors, everything I've mentioned in the general description. And, again, too soft images...
Bottom Line:
I've been used the MKII for more than a year, as it was part of the photo kit I've been given by the newspaper I work with. Contrary to my expectations (I was the owner of a 10d back then) I've had problems with focusing, which really was too soft. No matter what we were working on, it never produced the crisp clear images we were expecting from it (them, as a mattter of fact, as we were using 3 MKII bodies at that time).
After some 6-7000 exposures a strange incident occured - 50% of the times the camera was powered on, the upper controller (which I had set for Tv) stopped working. It was a matter of turning the camera off, wait 2-4 seconds then turn it back on in order to restore the controller's function. Strangely, the portrait mode controller replicated on the other handle never did that. Frustrating, to say the least of it.
Another major issue of the camera was concerning the use of IS pro lenses. I've tried the 400/2.8 IS and the 70-200/2.8 IS. Whenever the stabilizer was set to ON, the mirror jammed and the camera was displaying an error message (I apologize for not recalling the exact code, but it was an "Err XX" nevertheless.) It happened to all IS pro lenses I've tried on it, mine or colleagues', it didn't really matter. No problems without the stabilizer on, or with similar lenses without IS, though.
Finally, the AF system itself was too d***slow for, say, soccer or rally. It could work well for a fashion show, but soccer, hell, no. Especially in artificial light, since most of the soccer games were held at night on artificially - lighted stadiums. Keepers, yes, I've had them at a rate of 30%. It's a pity considering the total no. of exposures guaranteed by the manufacturer, and a waste as well - the shutter doesn't last forever.

Strengths: Speed, speed, speed. Focusing & fps.
It meters accurately.
Very nice viewfinder.
All the professiona 1 series features/options.
As of 6/2005: price!
Weaknesses: High ISOs are very noisy.
Bottom Line:
I shoot primarily aircraft photos. I was a little hesitant to get the 1d because of the 4 megapixel sensor. It didn't take long to fall in love with the camera. It's super fast focusing, I don't use the 8 fps often but it's handy when needed. I shoot raw exclusively and generally only need to sharpen the photos a tiny bit. I've recently printed, and sold, several 20"x30" posters. As long as you compose properly to use a full frame image, they look great. A couple of things to be aware of, it uses batteries up fairly quickly, especially if using IS on a Canon lense. It's a heavy camera but I consider that a positive, it's a little steadier in a wind than a light camera, such as my 20D I use as a backup. It's a wonderful camera, even more amazing considering the age of the technology in it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone shooting fast subjects with good light (high ISOs are very noisy). It would be nice to be able to zoom in on the LCD preview but...can't have everything. The price is currently very close to a new 20D. Even now, I would seriously consider a 1D before a 20D, depending on what you shoot.
