Pleasing images and a rock-bottom price make the 52in Vizio GV52LF an outstanding value HDTV - if you can find one in the UK.
The Vizio GV52LF HDTV, a 52in LCD model, earned high scores on many of our TV tests. Its scores were particularly high on our standard-definition tests. The set's desirable features include picture-in-picture and four HDMI ports, and it carries an affordable price.
Both high-definition and standard-def TV looked sharp and natural on the screen, and no other set earned an overall score of Very Good for screen brightness. The Vizio GV52LF produced true-to-life skin tones and few digital artifacts in the background. High-def movies looked crisp and vivid.
The Vizio GV52LF's four HDMI ports enable high-def aficionados to connect several devices, such as an HD player, a cable box, and an HD DVR. The TV's built-in speakers have plenty of volume but sounded flat. The Pioneer Kuro PDP-5010FD, for example, sounded much better.
A glossy black bezel surrounds the set, which sits on top of silver speakers and a silver stand, producing an eye-catching contrast. The Vizio GV52LF does look a little heavier at the bottom than other sets, however.
The backlit, sensibly organised remote has numbered buttons on the top, a navigational wheel in the middle, and a few direct-input buttons near the bottom. It's mostly black with a small block of brushed silver at the bottom, neatly matching the TV. A detailed user manual, printed in colour on glossy paper, accompanies the Vizio GV52LF and comprehensively explains the TV and remote functions.
Although the Vizio GV52LF's blue onscreen display menu looks less sophisticated than some others we've seen, it offers clear and easy-to-navigate picture options. The Color Temperature menu provides extra-fine controls for red, green, and blue colour channels.
You can activate picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture by going through the menu - a feature that not all TVs offer - but we wish that the Vizio GV52LF had a dedicated button for turning it on.
For its price, the Vizio GV52LF delivers competitive performance and enough attractive options to deserve the attention of budget-conscious HDTV shoppers.

A very light scent that is not as complex as the notes listed above. After wearing twice, I smell a mix of amber and musk. The musk is more intense in the opening then the fragrance dries down a bit marshmallow without being cloying or super sweet. I would consider this a gourmand.

Taking a Walk on the Southside Recipe
Just a quick note here to introduce our newest voice on Serious Eats, Michael Nagrant. If you're not already familiar with his work, Michael's a food writer living in Chicago and also the publisher of Hungry magazine. He'll be joining us periodically on notes from around Chicagoland. Welcome, Michael. Cheers! The Serious Eats Team
They say defeat is an orphan and victory has a hundred fathers. Likewise, the origin of many classic cocktails or iconic dishes is usually mired in pitched battles between generations of families, restaurateurs, and shady credit claimers. The Southside, a gin-based cocktail muddled with mint and citrus, and very popular among the South Hampton set, is one of those libations.
Thanks to Tobey Maloney, "chief intoxologist" and partner in Chicago's Violet Hour cocktail lounge, this has been the summer of the Southside for me. While I was working on a story about Chicago bartenders who make their own cocktail bitters, Maloney shared his recipe for the Southside, and since then, I've been sucking 'em down like Rush Limbaugh working a Sizzler buffet. In addition to the refreshing taste, my verve for the drink was also borne of regional affiliation.
As I understood it, the cocktail was created out of pitched Prohibition-era Chicago gangland battles for superior spirits. The Northside gang led by Dion O'Banion had secured the good spirits pipeline, leaving only hooch and swill for the Irish Southside gangs, including the Saltis-McErlane gang, which was also affiliated with the more famous Johnny TorrioAl Capone gang (later known as the Chicago Outfit). As a means of masking the swill, gang leader Frankie McErlane and his cohort, former bartender and wealthy bootlegger Joseph "Polack Joe" Saltis (ironically, he was born in Hungary), mixed it with lots of sugar and citrusand thus the drink was born.
Whether or not this is true, it should be noted that McErlane had a violent streak that made Al Capone look like Martha Stewart. One of the era's most notorious gunmen, he was the first gangster to use the "Tommy" gun and killed as many as 15 men during the bootlegging wars.
Just as I had mixed up another pitcher of Southsides and was gloating in the spoils of local mobster ingenuity, Eric Felten wrote a piece in last weekend's Wall Street Journal, attempting to debunk the myth. As he writes:
There is no evidence that the Southside was ever served in Prohibition Chicago. And Saltis and McErlane focused on strong-arming saloons into selling their beer and their beer alone. Beyond such pesky details, the story makes no sense: Why would a drink from louche Chi-town speakeasies find its way east to be embraced by lock-jawed Locust Valleyites? One might just as well imagine the Astors inviting Big Jule over to shoot craps.
Felten also adds:
"... there is some doubt as to whether the Southside actually originated at the Sportsmen's Club. But I find myself convinced. The men who fished and hunted at the Southside did their golfing, riding, and racquet sports at places such as the Rockaway Hunting Club, the Maidstone Club, and Piping Rock, which explains how the cocktail spread to become the definitive summer drink of the country-club set."
While Felten provides circumstantial evidence to support his theory, he's got no smoking gun, and thus his article proves to be mostly his opinion. Frankly, as a longtime Midwesterner, his column strikes me as run of the mill East Coast superiority and media bias. His strongest argument against the Chicago origin is that something born of a debauched poor place could never make its way into the rarified confines of the country club set. Yeah, and Joe Kennedy and Sam Giancana never, ever moved in the same circles. Likewise, rich people never eat lobster. (Lobster was once used as garden fertilizer and as a food staple for widows, orphans, servants, and prisoners. Massachusetts even passed a law forbidding its use more than twice a week, as a daily lobster dinner was considered cruel and unusual punishment.)
The 21 Club and a variety of other post-Prohibition era clubs also make a claim to the Southside's birthright, and really, who the hell knows. There's been no direct chain of documentation produced to verify or deny these claims. What I do know is that it's a damn good cocktail. My version (below), based on experimentation with Maloney's original, is different than Felten's Journal recipe, which I find far too cloying. Part of the reason is that the recipe doesn't employ cocktail bitters. That's no surprise, as due to the popularity of vodka, which gets overpowered by the aromatic botanical nature of bitters, their use has waned even among classic bartenders. For gin and brown spirits, though, it's a whole 'nother game. Just as a chef tries to appeal to sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami in a dish, so should a bartender. In a drink like the Southside, bitters balance out the simple syrup, transforming a sugary confection into an aromatic and well-balanced gem. Cheers.
The Southside (aka, Upper Southside)
Definite origin: VanBuren and Green streets, Chicago. Tanqueray gin is a bit more medicinal than Sapphire for my personal taste but is a reasonable substitute. Likewise, try super-premium gins, à la Hendricks or, even better, North Shore Distillers for more Chicago flavor.
Regarding bitters, almost anyone can find Angostura (Peychauds has too much anise for this application), but I prefer Fee Brothers Old Fashioned, which has a spicier quality that melds well with the gin.
About the author: Michael Nagrant writes for Serious Eats from Chicago, where he also publishes Hungry magazine. Michael never met an organ meat he didn't like. He hopes to meet many more.
- Yield:serves 1
- 2 ounces Bombay Sapphire
- 3/4 ounce simple syrup
- 3/4 freshly squeezed lime juice
- 5 mint leaves
- 3 drops cocktail bitters
Put mint in bottom of a cocktail shaker and crush with the back of a spoon or muddler to release essential oils. Add about 5 or 6 ice cubes and remaining ingredients. Shake hard for about 10 seconds or until shaker frosts to the point where the cold stings your fingertips. Strain into a martini glass.

ATLANTA — More U.S. adults are getting physical _ or at least that's what they're telling researchers.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
A national telephone survey found the percentage of women who report regular physical activity rose to about 47 percent in 2005, up from 43 percent in 2001.
The percentage of men reporting regular exertion rose to about 50 percent, from 48 percent.
The small but significant increases are considered good news, but also seem a little perplexing: U.S. obesity rates are not declining, and there are indicators that some weight-related conditions _ such as heart disease _ are getting worse in some adults.
Recent increases in physical activity may not yet be affecting some health indicators, said Teresa Moore, an associate professor of exercise science at the University of South Carolina.
Or perhaps some people are exercising more but not taking other important steps, added Moore, who was not involved in the research.
The Fit List"You could be out raking leaves, but if you're eating a high-fat, poor-quality diet, you may still be aggravating the problem," she said.
The survey was done by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is being published this week in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a CDC publication.
The researchers drew their data from surveys in 2001 and 2005 of noninstitutionalized adults who had landline telephones. About 205,000 people answered questions in the 2001 survey, and 356,000 in 2005.
People in the survey were asked about their physical activity in a usual week in their non-working hours. One question asked about moderate activities such as brisk walking or gardening. Another asked about vigorous activities such as running or heavy yard work.
Respondents were considered physically active if they had at least 30 minutes of moderate activity five or more days a week, or 20 minutes of vigorous activity three or more days a week.
Along racial lines, reported activity rates were highest among whites and lowest among blacks.
As for education level, college graduates exercised the most, and people without a high school education were the least active, the researchers found.
Other studies haven't shown overall exercise rates as high as 50 percent, said Julie Schwartz, a dietitian and fitness expert at Atlanta's Emory Healthcare hospital system.
The new report differed from another recent government survey that found leisure-time physical activity decreased in men and remained static for women from 2000 to 2005.
People often do not accurately recall how much physical activity they actually did, Moore said.

Disentangling spillover effects of antibiotic consumption: a spatial panel approach
Literature on socioeconomic determinants of antibiotic consumption in the community is limited to few countries using cross-sectional data. This paper analyses regional variations in outpatient antibiotics in Italy using a balanced panel dataset covering the period 2000-2008. We specify an econometric model where antibiotic consumption depends upon demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the population, the supply of health care services in the community, and antibiotic copayments. The model is estimated by means of Ordinary least squares techniques with fixed effects (FE). The implications of consumption externalities across geographical areas are investigated by means of spatial-lag and spatial-error models (SLFE and SEFE). We find significant and positive income elasticity and negative effects of copayments. Antibiotic use is also affected by the age structure of the population and the supply of community health care. Finally, we find evidence of spatial dependency in the use of antibiotics across regions. This suggests that regional policies (e.g. public campaigns) aimed at increasing efficiency in antibiotic consumption and controlling bacterial resistance may be influenced by policy makers in neighbouring regions. There will be scope for a strategic and coordinated view of regional policies towards the use of antibiotics.

BMW Motorsport claimed victory in today's season opening VLN race at the Nürburgring-Nordschleife, finishing first and second overall. Jörg Müller, Augusto Farfus and Uwe Alzen drove the winning no.42 BMW M3 GT, whilst Dirk Müller, Dirk Werner and Andy Priaulx brought the no.43 car home second, 51 seconds behind its sister car after four hours of running.
It was a repeat of the 2010 result, and further underlines the team's belief that The "Green Hell" remains BMW territory..
With sunny conditions and an air temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius, the VLN fans experienced a gripping race, which saw the front-runners racing closely together for most of the time. Having started from first (no. 43) and second (no. 42) on the grid, the two BMW M3 GT cars were involved in exciting duels and managed to complete the race without any technical problems, whereas some of their major rivals dropped back due to several incidents.
The lead had changed several times, before final-stint drivers Jörg Müller and Dirk Müller were able to score the one-two result. For Alzen this is his tenth overall victory in the VLN, while it is a first for Jörg Müller and Farfus.
A successful start for Mercedes
The SLS AMG GT3 which is contesting its first full season of racing, had an equally successful day with three cars in the top 10, two of them from the Black Falcon team. British driver, Sean Paul Breslin in the 3rd Black Falcon SLS AMG GT3, finished in 19th place with a best lap of 8:33.621.
The next race in the VLN series will be contested on 30th April.

GRAFFITI WALL: Casey McCormick of LITERARY RAMBLES
Want more of Casey? 'Course you do.
27 comments:
Casey!!! Woo-hoo! And, Jenga--that's the perfect analogy for life. Here's hoping I don't topple my responsibilities this week!!! Thanks for sharing, Casey and Sheri!! Although, I'm a little bummed you're not a cat person, Casey. You'd like my kittens, though. I'll bring 'em to the next late practice room session...
ReplyDeleteMatthew, it's all on the web (unless they tell me something via e-mail). I'm just a really good agent stalker, uh, I mean researcher. Yeah! : ) I wish you would have found Lit Rambles earlier too. Thanks!!!
Thanks so much Martina, Marissa, and Candace!
Tina, as soon as I finished my first novel I put it away and started something new. I had brief delusions of publishing it, but I knew it wasn't good enough. I've written four rough drafts and have countless other partials written, but I haven't gotten something completely revised and ready for agents. I'm not ready yet!
Thanks Joanne and Stina!
Heather, I really do like cats. I'm just way more of a dog person. I'd love to play with your kittens in the practice room. : )
Thanks so much Janet!!SUPER AMAZING CASEY!
As you already know - you were the very first blog I read just 3/4 months ago. SO MUCH INFO. SO MUCH DEDICATION and HEAPS of modesty and GRACIOUSNESS sprinkled in.
You deserve EVERY success and I'm sure you will have your books published one day. With such a tremendous blog - it's only a matter of time.
THANK YOU BOTH SHERI and CASEY!

Thanks Creepy Query Girl! You sound like someone who would be at home at my blog!
Hi Susan! Glad to hear there's someone else out there that does the same. It helps knowing that about myself! : )
Thanks Helena!
Ann Marie, how much do you think it would cost to ship Donkey Junior and Matthew? I'll take em! ; )You are all welcome for the interview. Truly, it was my pleasure. But...(sneaky peeky, I have more questions answered from Casey. I'll be posting an interview on Oasis for YA in a few weeks.)
Heather, we can meow during unplugged.
Reading, Writing, Revolution, I LOVE flash fiction and shorties. That's actually what made me believe I could write. ";-)
Ann Marie, can I be the one to inform Matt???- AlexandraJune 2, 2010 at 11:38 AM
Thanks, Casey and Sheri! I clicked over from Casey's blog, so this is my first visit to your blog. I really enjoyed it, and I'll be back! I am a mom, wife, and kids/MG writer too, and I am in awe of how you are both able to do all that you do! You rock! Any tips for how to fit in writing during these summer months when the kids are at home all day??? Casey- you said you "strive to be helpful and approachable" - I think you have definitely achieved that! I agree with what Sheri said - you have "a way" of making readers feel very "comfortable". Thank you for all you do for writers.

When you "design" an Individual Summary Report you have a choice to add - Spouses /Children. But when the report is created the heading says - Marriages /Children.
I think the heading there should be the same - Spouses /Children, simply because it sometimes will have spouses that are not married to the chosen Individual.

A man and a dog died today when the car they were travelling in became completely submerged in "5ft of fast-flowing water" as it drove across a ford.
Officers were called to Thornford Road in Compton Wood, Hampshire, this morning after they received reports of the trapped vehicle.
A woman was able to escape from the car but the man had to be recovered from it and was pronounced dead at the scene. The dog also died in the incident, according to fire crews who attended.
A Hampshire Police spokesman said: "A man has died after the car he was travelling in was submerged in water near Newbury.
"Police were called at 9.12am this morning to reports that a vehicle was stuck in a ford at Thornford Road, near Compton Wood.
"A woman was able to get out of the vehicle but a man was recovered from it. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
"The woman was taken to Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, where she is being treated for shock."
The spokesman added that emergency services had attended the scene to recover the car which had become "completely submerged" in the water.
A Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said fire crews from Hampshire and Berkshire attended the scene after being alerted at 9.07am.
She said: "They quickly located the car, which was completely submerged under 5ft of fast-flowing water.
"The woman from the car had already managed to swim free of the vehicle and reach the bank.
"Newbury firefighters, who had been joined by a crew from Kingsclere, then mounted a rescue operation using ladders from both sides of the banks of the ford to reach the vehicle.
"They broke the window of the vehicle and pulled a man free."
Station manager Mark White said: "On reaching the scene, fire crews made a dynamic assessment and quickly mounted a rescue operation to free the man from the vehicle.
"Once the man had been pulled free from the vehicle, crews from South Central Ambulance who were standing by carried out CPR."
A Hampshire Police spokeswoman said the conditions on the road, including the impact of recent rainfall on water levels at the ford, would form part of the force's investigation into the death.
A Hampshire police spokesman said that the man who died was aged 52 and was the passenger in the vehicle while the woman, who was driving, was aged 54.
They were a married couple from the Middlesex area and were driving a silver Toyota Yaris.
Inspector Jon Snook, from Hampshire police's roads policing unit, said: "We believe the car drove into the ford from the Hampshire side where it appears as though it was swept downstream and became submerged.
"On arrival, we co-ordinated a rescue operation with the fire service to try and free the man. Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
"We know that the ford was flooded and we are now conducting an investigation to establish the exact circumstances of this incident and will be preparing a file for the coroner."

Commentary & Opinion Take the Next Step in HIV Prevention; Minnesotans Should Lead the Way in Online StrategiesJuly 16, 2010 "In a letter to the editor published June 26, Curt Prins and John Schrom spotlighted Minnesota's alarming spike in new HIV infections in men under 30, then put a tough question to public health officials and Minnesota's AIDS advocacy organizations: "In an era not only of digital communications but digital lifestyles, are traditional HIV prevention messages and mediums working? "Like public health measures targeting smoking and obesity, HIV prevention is a message that must be repeated loudly and often. "Clearly, pamphlets, dry fact sheets, and so-called ?youth summits' sponsored recently by some state organizations aren't going to cut it in this new information age. Instead, prevention information needs to be more accessible on the sites on which gay men are spending their time. The message also needs to be edgier to connect with younger people. "Fortunately, Minnesota has a unique opportunity to pioneer online HIV prevention strategies. Its public health officials and AIDS groups have taken some steps online already, and they're open to finding better ways to accomplish this. So far, it's unclear if online prevention measures can change behavior. But a groundbreaking study expected soon from the University of Minnesota's Simon Rosser may shed scientific light on what works. "This new generation of AIDS activists has pointed out a serious problem. Their next step: taking a leadership role in forging the public health and academic partnerships needed to find solutions." The author is director of the STD and HIV Section, Minnesota Department of Health. Star Tribune (Minneapolis) 07.06.2010; Peter Carr This article was provided by CDC National Prevention Information Network.

Winner, Prism Award 2010, Best Light Paranormal
*Finalist, Golden Leaf 2010
*Finalist, Judge a Book By Its Cover Contest
@ Love Romance Cafe
Sourcebooks, Inc.
November, 2009
Rod Tritone, heir to the throne of the undersea world, needs a queen capable of ruling the oldest kingdom on earth. Someone regal, learned and of noble birth. Problem is, the only eligible noble-born Mer princess is half-Human - and she doesn't have a clue about the non-Human part.
Valerie Dumere has screwed up her life at every turn, so when her mother dies and leaves her the family business, Val realizes it's up to her to buckle down and get her life on track. No more excuses.
So when a guy shows up claiming to be her destiny, she scoffs. No way. She isn't running away from her responsibilities ever again - no matter how good the guy looks without a shirt.
But Rod isn't going away. He can't claim his inheritance without her - and Val will lose hers if she goes with him.
It's going to take one whale of a tale to get her to chuck it all and follow him off into the wild blue under...
"Judi Fennell is a bright star on the horizon of romance.
-Judi McCoy, author of Hounding the Pavement
Reviewers say:
"Fennell returns with another underwater adventure, her second story about the Tritone brothers. She's proving herself to be a solid storyteller, and this tale is an enjoyable and pleasant read."
-Devon Paige, RT BookReviews Magazine.com
"Wild Blue Under" is the second book of author, Judi Fennell's Mer Trilogy, and the first of hers I have read and definitely won't be the last! This book was such a fun, delightful read."
-Jaime, Revenge of the Book Nerds
"Ms. Fennell did a wonderful job creating an underwater world with beauty, elegance, mystery and intrigue. Not only is Judi's underwater world a delight but she has a way with timing her plot that is amazing.
Bloody Bad
"I loved everything about this story. It will have you laughing and smiling and craving more from this fabulous new author."
"Judi Fennells books: Romance thats funny, engaging, definitely hot, and makes you feel good when youve finished the book. I loved it!"
Sia McKye Over Coffee
"Ms. Fennell pens a fun tale with hilarity and high jinks that will keep readers smiling through the most serious of scenes. With a fast pace and its charming characters, Wild Blue Under is sure to please fans who enjoy a nice dose of humor with their romance."
"The second Tritone brother Mer urban-oceanic romantic fantasy is a terrific tale of the tail from the moment Rod arrives at the store knowing this cant be Atlantis. Fans will enjoy the amusing banter between the disbeliever and the Mer trying to convince her to dive into the ocean as his mate while a predator wants her dead. This is a fun fantasy with readers wondering whether Val will (realize) theres no place like home when you are loved by the one you treasure."
Harriet Klausner
"Wild Blue Under is another under-the-sea adventure that is simply marvelous. Judi Fennel's imagination knows no bounds. If you're looking for a light romance with some comedy and a great plot, pick up WILD BLUE UNDER - there's nothing fishy about it!"
Wendy's Minding Spot
"Judi Fennells world is like a breath of fresh air, bright and happy despite the danger and suspense."
"It just gets better and better in the Triton Trilogy. The Little Mermaid has definitely grown up! Lots of humor, imagination, and hot sexual tension amongst these pages."
"Overall, Wild Blue Under is just an enjoyable read and is great for those winter days when you need a little sunshine to get through the day."
Literary Escapism
"This is truly a starfish in the sea of writings."
"Judi Fennell has written another unique look into Atlantis (and) weaves all the elements together so well that I never once doubted Atlantis exists."
"Wild Blue Under is a fun, sassy, imaginative and sweetly romantic second installment to Fennel's underwater adult fairy tale as well as a refreshing change for readers who might find themselves weary of vampires, werewolves and fallen angels."
"Wild Blue Under as it all: adventure, romance, comedy, passion and fabulous characters that you will fall in love with."
This is a fun series - the perfect get me away from my world for a bit. You simply have to suspend the believable when you read this book and let yourself be swept away by Judi Fennell's creative fantasy world of the Mer people.
"The best Mer book I've ever read."
-Rowena Cherry, author of Knight's Fork
"Bubbly fun! Judi Fennell whips together talking birds, princely peril and a sexy Mer man in this sparkling 'under the sea' tale."
-Virginia Kantra, USA Today best-selling author

Dawnguard (Faction)
this wiki
- For the game, see The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard.
The Dawnguard are a joinable faction in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard. They are an ancient order of vampire hunters, once retired but have recently been revived by Isran, a former Vigilant of Stendarr, now dedicated to eradicating Vampires throughout Skyrim. Fort Dawnguard serves as their headquarters and can only be accessed via Dayspring Canyon located in the snowy mists, east of Riften, near Stendarr's Beacon.
The history of the Dawnguard is vague and is surrounded by rumors and hearsay. What little is known, however, is that the group was formed in the Second Era by the Jarl of Riften at that time. The Jarl's son, through his overly confident and adventurous pursuits, contracted vampirism one day. The Jarl refused to kill his own son, so instead he commissioned the construction of a fort and hired a large mercenary force, later branded the "Dawnguard", to keep his son quarantined.
Some say the Dawnguard had to put the Jarl's son down and were banished from the hold. The Dawnguard, however, continued their work as vampire hunters until they broke up, due to the fact people increasingly disregarded the threat of vampires, weakening the power and respect of the Dawnguard.[1]
Others claim that the Dawnguard, upon seeing the immense power of a vampire, decided to become vampires themselves. They were said to have preyed on the Rift until they were hunted down.[2]
Even more rumors say that the Dawnguard were disliked because of their abuse of power as they went on nightly raids and pillaged small villages without any probable cause.[3]
- Main article: Quests (Dawnguard)
Main QuestEdit
- Dawnguard: It serves as the introductory quest for the add-on. It involves being recruited into the Dawnguard.
- Awakening: Isran sends the Dragonborn to Dimhollow Crypt to find out what the vampires are seeking.
- A New Order: Isran asked the Dragonborn to recruit Gunmar and Sorine Jurard into the Dawnguard
- Prophet (Dawnguard): Find a Moth Priest for the Dawnguard to unlock the secrets of Serana's Elder Scroll.
- Kindred Judgment: Confront Harkon in Castle Volkihar with the help of the Dawnguard.
Side QuestsEdit
- Preemptive Strike: Track and kill a Master Vampire before it can turn its followers.
- Ancient Technology: A six-part series of quests which yield Crossbow upgrades.
- Bolstering the Ranks: Recruit Florentius Baenius into the Dawnguard.
- Lost Relic: Locate an ancient relic for Florentius.
- Hide and Seek: Kill a vampire disguised as a traveler.
- Cleansing Light: Hunt and kill a leveled vampire.
- Hunting the Monster: Track a Master Vampire to their lair, and kill them.
- A Jarl's Justice: Kill a vampire masquerading as a visiting advisor to a Jarl's court.
- Rescue: Rescue a kidnapped person.
Random vampire encountersEdit
Hostile vampires begin to appear in cities at night at around level 7-8, and rumors of a group of vampire hunters called the Dawnguard can be heard at level 10, thus opening the Dawnguard questline. Alternately, Fort Dawnguard (and the questline) is accessible at level 1 right after the Dragonborn's escape from Helgen. Visit Dayspring Canyon, the entrance to which is located just off the road, near the eastern edge of Skyrim and almost directly east of Riften, downhill to the north-northwest from Stendarr's Beacon.
Guild perksEdit
The unique benefits of joining the Dawnguard include full access to Fort Dawnguard, various new weapons, armor, and spells to help fight vampires, such as crossbows, Dawnguard armor, and faction-specific spells such as Sun Damage and Vampire's Bane.
Furthermore, Dawnguard members can also hire Armored Trolls for 500 apiece, which serve as temporary followers.
If caught as a vampire after joining the Dawnguard Isran will direct the player to Falion in Morthal to cure the Vampirism. If deciding to become a vampire after joining the Dawnguard it is best to do so after finishing the questline as they will refuse any further communication or cooperation.

Nail of the Day: Ciate Paint Pots!
Allow me to introduce to you the cutest nail polishes ever: Ciate Paint Pots. I recently received these from my friend Fleur as a birthday gift, and I am in love. Not only is the packaging to die for, the formulation is fantastic. I was pleasantly surprised with how evenly these applied and how glossy they were without a top coat (I did add one for the photo below though). Thanks Fleur! :)

MAC Semi Precious Collection: Mineralize Skinfinishes
MAC launched their new Semi Precious collection this week, making it this year's mineralize product launch. Every summer, MAC seems to launch a mineralize collection, and this year's included eyeshadows, blushes, brushes, and mineralize skinfinishes (among other things). I'm a huge MSF junkie, so whenever some limited ones are released I usually get sucked in. This collection was no exception.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Eyeshadow #47
Another find for me at IMATS LA this year was MUFE's #47 eyeshadow. This shade immediately caught my eye because of its finish; eyeshadows in this color are usually frosty, but this one is matte. When I saw this I instantly thought of an olive green eye look for this Autumn, so I had to have it. The pigmentation/blendability is excellent and the color is gorgeous.
These eyeshadows retail for $19 and can be purchased at Sephora.com.
Would you wear it?

The New Pro Z-Palette
Z-Palette has released a third addition to their palette range, called the Pro Palette. The Pro Palette is exactly the same length as the Large Palette, but about 3/4" wider. This may seem like a frivolous adjustment for a whole new palette range, but as someone who has used Z Palettes for a while now, I can say that an extra 3/4" can make the difference between another row of something fitting or not.

OCC Loose Colour Pigments: Review & Swatches!
Today's featured product is another OCC favorite of mine: Loose Colour Pigments. OCC is known for having some of the most pigmented products around, so it's no surprise that these shadows pack a punch. I purchased my first OCC Loose Colour Pigment at IMATS NYC (the one without the sifter, because I've pressed it), and loved it enough to get two more at IMATS LA!

Care instructions
Wash at 30°C. Use liquid detergent; do not add fabric conditioner. Fasten zips and rip-tabs before washing. With each wash, renew the fabric's water repellent properties using a suitable treatment. A complete range of products specially designed to help care for waterproof, and breathable fabrics is available in all Decathlon stores. These products will help you optimise your garment's performance throughout its lifespan.
Storage Tips
Always make sure that this waterproof protective garment is completely dry before storing it.
Sizing information

Adjustable with elastic drawcords and toggles.
2 hand pockets with flaps + poppers.

Hi-tech lining
Mesh body lining for enhanced garment breathability.
Additional recommended products
Care products: spray or liquid water repellent treatment in the washing machine. To renew the fabric's water repellent properties and optimise performance throughout the lifespan of your garment.
Waterproof component
We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure, expressed as a water column of mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure withstood, the more waterproof the fabric. A waterproof rating of 2000 mm means the fabric can withstand pressure exerted by 2000 mm of water (the equivalent of a rain shower lasting for two hours).
Technologies: this garment has been subjected to a shower test using 60 litres of water/sqm/hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a rain shower in the mountains.
Component breathability
To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity evaporates, and the higher the fabric's breathability. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric / 9<RET<12 = very breathable fabric / 12<RET<20 = breathable fabric / RET>20 = little or no breathability.
Water repellent component
A fabric is water repellent when it allows water slide over its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from swelling, and keeps it lightweight, breathable and warm. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment's lifetime (recommended after every three washes).All Quechua waterproof jackets have received a water repellent treatment.
A score for comparing products' environmental impact
The product's environmental impact is calculated based on its entire life cycle using different indicators.
An overall ABCDE score is applied to help you readily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks, etc.).
Decathlon is committed to visually displaying environmental information.

The statistics about high school dropout rates in the U.S. were so alarming, we decided to incorporate them into a chalk drawing and share them with the rest of the country. Help us spread the word!
Time-lapse video: creating this graphic
Every school day, more than 7,200 students fall through the cracks of America's public high schools. Three out of every 10 members of this year's graduating class, 1.3 million students in all, will fail to graduate with a diploma.
Source: Education Week
A few closer shots
A few highlights from the graphic:
• 30% of high school students in the U.S. drop out. (Editorial Projects in Education Research Center)
• On average non-white students are 2x more likely to drop out of high school
• The Averaged Freshman Graduation Rate (AFGR) by race for the 2008-09 graduating year:
Race | Graduation Rate | Dropout Rate |
American Indian/Alaska Native | 64.8% | 35.2% |
Asian/Pacific Islander | 91.8% | 8.2% |
Hispanic | 65.9% | 34.1% |
Black | 63.5% | 36.5% |
White | 82.0% | 18.0% |
National Average | 75.5% | 24.5% |
Source: Tables 1 & 2, Public School Graduates and Dropouts, National Center for Education Statistics.
It is important to note that although one report shows the national graduation rate at 30% and the other at 24.5% the numbers are from different reports that arrive at the dropout rate in slightly different ways. One uses the AFGR, the other calculates off a factor called the CPI or Cumulative Promotion Index. Though the numbers conflict slightly, we included them for reference and comparison in the race graph.
• Original design created in Adobe Illustrator then projected onto a 4′ x 8′ chalkboard

GOVERNOR PALIN: The Democratic nominee for President supports plans to raise income taxes, and raise payroll taxes, and raise investment income taxes. How are you going to be better off if our opponent adds a massive tax burden to the American economy?
ANNCR: The answer: we won't.
Team McCain has managed to erode Obama's lead on economic policy by continuing to attack his positions and votes on taxes and spending. Obama likes to cry foul at this, saying that his tax hikes would only affect the top 5% of American earners. That's true, as far as direct impact, but Obama plans plenty of tax increases that would have an indirect and yet significant impact on the American economy, including a hike of capital-gains taxes that would cut off job creation and send a teetering economy further into a recession.
Future ads should make that more specific. Talk about how taxing investment means fewer jobs, and how payroll taxes mean fewer jobs, and how vastly increased government spending means fewer resources for the private sector — and fewer jobs. We also need more spots on how a kitchen-sink energy policy creates jobs and keeps American wealth inside America, which McCain discussed at the last presidential debate.

Whatever you think of the bailout, a message like that rings a little hollow these days.
