Louise Bianco is a line of skincare products based on holistic practices developed by Louise Bianco, who became interested in skincare during her work as a weight control counselor. She states she learned about how skin was affected by nutritional factors during that time, and decided to apply these techniques to her skincare products as a revolutionary way to treat skin ailments. Currently the Louise Bianco skincare line features serums, creams, and cleansers infused with amino peptides, papaya enzymes, retinol, and antioxidants, which are believed to promote elasticity and skin improvement.
The clear difference between Louise Bianco and other products is its completely all-natural approach to skin (fragrances are eliminated from its creams, and they do not test on animals) and a diverse selection for all skin types, ranging from acne-prone skin to "mature" and sensitive skin types. They also clearly list what each key ingredient is supposedly intended to do in a scientific and holistic sense. Additionally, they offer product lines catering to different skin ailments, from sagging skin to deep down moisturization. Their Vitamin Treatments Line is the line that specifically targets wrinkles and fine lines. Each product is priced under $80 also, so it is not too expensive — but probably not the cheapest product available. Let's review Louise Bianco's ingredients in-depth.
Product Details
According to their website, Louise Bianco's Vitamin Treatments line contains various ingredients, including Vitamin C, Pentavitin, and Hyaluronic Acid. Vitamin C is not new to the skincare market, and it is featured extensively in "all-natural" creams as a better component than Vitamin D, supposedly promoting collagen growth and allowing skin to naturally tighten. In truth, Vitamin C is not that effective. Certain studies do say it helps improve the skin's ability to regenerate, but this can only be gained by consuming it, not applying it. Some research indicates that consumers will have better luck eating oranges than seeing any results from topical Vitamin C cream. Hyaluronic Acid is another important component more effective than Vitamin C, and it has been recognized for its abilities to heal skin tissue for decades. The FDA recently approved its use in injection form, but no studies specify if it has the same effect when applied. Nevertheless this is a very intriguing ingredient and should delight consumers.
Louise Bianco's products may have some scientific backing, but generally speaking, one effective ingredient is not enough to promote overall skin health.
The Good
- Contains Hyaluronic Acid, which is shown to heal skin tissue.
- An extensive product line and safe ingredients will appeal to consumers.
The Bad
- Vitamin C has little proven effect when applied topically.
- It is debated if Hyaluronic Acid is effective when used as a cream – it is usually injected to eliminate wrinkles.
- It is probably not the best choice for consumers on a budget.
The Bottom Line
When it comes to proper, safe skin care Louise Bianco definitely has some credibility, but the real science is where this company dwindles. There are a few key ingredients which may provide wrinkle relief, but many other ingredients provide little or no benefit – definitely something consumers don't need. There are definitely worse products out there, however.

- Contact: 208.577.4400 or visit www.facesofadacounty.com
- Women and Children's Alliance, providing victim's advocacy, shelter, and counseling.
- Contact: 208.343.3688 or visit www.wcaboise.org
Additionally, all Title IX violations must be reported statistically in the Annual Security Report; however, no personally identifiable information will be provided in this report.
Rights of the Accused
Individuals accused of violating the College of Western Idaho's Title IX policy have the following rights:
- The opportunity to respond to information related to the alleged violation.
- The opportunity to provide the names of witnesses relevant to the alleged violation.
- The right to bring one advisor of choice to college proceedings related to the Title IX investigation.
- The right to appeal.
- The right to receive advance notice of the specific charges and the date, time, and location of scheduled proceedings.
- The right to review the case file prior to Title IX proceedings.
- The opportunity to request an extension of time to prepare for Title IX proceedings.
- The right for the investigation and adjudication to be kept closed to the public.
- All outcomes shall be conveyed to the accused individual in writing and at the same time the complainant receives notice of the outcome of the case
Disciplinary Action
During the investigative process, interim measures may be put in place to protect members of the college community. Interim measures may include, but are not limited to: administrative temporary no contact orders, employment and academic adjustments; suspension; or temporary removal from clubs or organizations. Should a member of the CWI community be found responsible for violating Title IX policy, possible sanctions or protective measures that the college may impose for actions that violate this policy include, but are not limited to suspension, probation, termination, or expulsion.
Preserving Evidence:
Sexual assault is not gender specific. Anyone who has experienced sexual assault should preserve the evidence. Whether or not you want to file a complaint now, you will still have the option to do so later.
- Do not change clothes
- Do not wash or clean up
- Save text/phone messages but do not respond
- Contact police services, your local hospital, or the Family Justice Center for a rape kit and to preserve forensic evidence.
Effective Consent
Please note that during investigations, the following definitions may be used to determine whether or not consent was given:
- Effective Consent: means words or actions that show a knowing and voluntary agreement to engage in mutually agreed-upon sexual activity. Effective Consent cannot be gained by Force, by ignoring or acting in spite of the objections of another, or by taking advantage of the Incapacitation of another, where the accused student knows or reasonably should have known of such Incapacitation. Effective Consent is also absent when the activity in question exceeds the scope of Effective Consent previously given. In addition, certain states have designated a minimum age under which a person cannot give "Effective Consent."
- Force: means physical force, violence, threats, intimidation, or coercion.
- Incapacitation: means the physical and/or mental inability to make informed, rational judgments. States of Incapacitation include, without limitation, sleep, blackouts, and flashbacks. Where alcohol (or other drug) is involved, one does not have to be intoxicated or drunk to be considered Incapacitated. Rather, Incapacitation is determined by how the alcohol consumed impacts an individual's decision-making capacity, awareness of consequences, and ability to make informed judgments. The question is whether the accused student knew, or a sober, reasonable person in the position of the accused student should have known, that the accuser was Incapacitated. Because Incapacitation may be difficult to discern, students are strongly encouraged to err on the side of caution; i.e.- when in doubt, assume that another person is Incapacitated and therefore unable to give Effective Consent. Being intoxicated is never a defense to a complaint of Sexual Misconduct.
Effect of Criminal Proceedings
Because sexual misconduct and related allegations may constitute both a violation of college policy and criminal activity, students have the right to report alleged Sexual Misconduct to local law enforcement agencies. Criminal investigations may be useful in the gathering of relevant evidence, particularly forensic evidence. Because the standards for finding a violation of criminal law are different from the standards for finding a violation of this policy, criminal investigations or reports are not determinative.
Timing of Complaints and Jurisdiction
So long as there is jurisdiction over the alleged perpetrator, there is no time limit to invoking this policy in responding to complaints of alleged violation of the college's Title IX policy. Nevertheless, students are encouraged to report alleged violations immediately in order to maximize the college's ability to obtain evidence and conduct a thorough, impartial and reliable investigation. Failure to promptly report alleged violation may result in the loss of relevant evidence and witness testimony, and may impair the college's ability to enforce this policy.
The College of Western Idaho has jurisdiction over members of the community who (a) supervise other employees or students, contractors or vendors; (b) teach or advise students; or (c) have management authority related to a college sponsored program or activity must engage in appropriate measures to prevent violations of this Policy; and promptly notify the Title IX Coordinator after being informed of or having a reasonable basis to suspect that there has been discrimination against, harassment of, or retaliation against a faculty, staff member or student.
According to CWI's policy, a "student" means any student who is registered or enrolled at the college (a) at the time of the alleged violation (including a violation that is alleged to have occurred during any academic recess, provided that there is an expectation of such student's continued enrollment at the college), and (b) at the time that the complaint has been filed against the student.
Although there is no geographic limitation to invoking this policy, violations that allegedly occurred at a significant distance from the college may be more difficult to investigate. In addition, with respect to any complaint (a) by a person who is not a member of the college community, and (b) relating to Non-College Conduct, the college reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion whether the conduct described in the complaint constitutes a sufficient risk to the college community to warrant processing the complaint.

10. I'm between jobs and do freelance and consulting work to get by. Will I have to pay taxes on that income?
A.Yes, you're subject to federal income tax and self-employment tax onthat income. But on the bright side, you're also eligible to takeadvantage of a host of deductions related to your business: home officeexpenses, including the purchase of equipment, paper and postage;expenses related to business meals, entertainment and travel; cellphonecharges and other expenses. Remember that it's important to keepdocuments and records of the expenses you itemize.
11. What happens to my pension if my company goes bankrupt?
A. The good news is that company-sponsored defined benefit plans are generally protected under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. So if your company went belly-up, the federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp.(PBGC) would step in to pay your pension benefit. The bad news is thatthe payout is capped—in 2009, workers who retire at age 65 are eligibleto receive up to $4,500 a month, or $54,000 a year.
Among pension plans typically not covered by the PBGC are those offered by "professional service employers" such as doctors and lawyers with fewer than 26 employees; plans sponsored by church groups; and plans sponsored by federal, state or local governments. The PBGC does not insure defined contribution plans, such as profit-sharing or 401(k) plans. To find out if your plan is covered, check with your plan administrator or ask for a copy of the summary plan description. (See more on this topic from AARP.)
12. Where can an older person like me go to find a job?
A. Websites that cater to older job seekers are proliferating these days. Sites worth checking: Workforce50.com,Seniors4Hire.com, RetiredBrains.com, and RetireeWorkforce.com.
Carole Fleck is a senior editor for the AARP Bulletin.

Devs told to make games using one controller, with second player having to settle for Wii remote.
Nintendo's Satoru Iwata has confirmed that the company's recently announced Wii U will only make use of one super-sized controller at launch. In an interview, Iwata claimed that it would be too expensive to sell the tablet-like controller separately.
Developers have been told to create titles that only make use of one controller, with additional players able to interact with games using the old-school Wii remote. As shown at E3, original Wii controls can interact with the Wii U's hulking effort.
Iwata did say, however, that it was possible that games could use two Wii U controllers. That at least leaves the door open for users to take their own controls over to a mate's house and make it a proper two-player party.
Do you think Nintendo should sell a second Wii U controller? Or are you happy to stick with the wand-like Wiimote? Tell us what you think on our Facebook and Twitter pages now.

Exceptional Southwest Decor for Home, Office & Unique Gifts
Southwest Indian Pottery Lamps & Rawhide Lamp Shades
These unique Tarahumara Indian pottery lamps are fabulous for southwestern or western lamps and decorating. Perfect as a desk or table lamp for southwest lighting, it is made by hand from authentic Tarahumara Indian clay pottery. These coiled clay lamps come from deep within the Sierra Madre and are also a perfect accent for western lighting or decor. Decorated with real rawhide, the result is a charming, one-of-a-kind rustic lamp. The unique tri-pod base is fashioned from pine branches, wrought iron and rawhide lace. The lamp's geniune rawhide shade is also hand stretched and stitched with matching leather.
Testimonial: "I've included a picture (above) of your beautiful lamps to show you how nice they look in our bedroom. They're perfect! Sincerely, Sherri"
The natural shade is a light tan/cream color, perfect for rustic chic lodge style, or country ranch and log home cabin decor. It was created by stretching premium rawhide around a sturdy welded frame. The skilled mountain people have years of experience and carefully trim and lace the shade. The hand stitching adds a sense of rustic beauty and when the lamp is turned on, the shade�s translucent character comes to life. The shade allows light to emanate from within to create a wonderfully natural atmosphere. Because heat can crack rawhide, there is no warranty on shade life. Condition regularly for best results.
Southwest style pottery lamps made with Tarahumara Indian pottery is artfully created by the age-old coil and pinch method. Rolls of natural clay are painstakingly coiled to form the shape of the vessel and polished with a smooth piece of wood. The Firing takes place in an open pit fire adding additional character through colorization changes. Some pieces will even have scorch marks from the fire as seen in the natural orange terra cotta while others are stained a rich rustic brown.
We recommend rawhide conditioner and a shades saver bulb to maximize your investment. Read our tips on rawhide lamp shade care and add conditioner and shade saver bulbs as an option.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Volkswagen Passat
By KBB.com Editors
The 2008 Volkswagen Passat competes with the top-of-the-line Accord and Camry models, along with such sporty sedans as Nissan's Maxima. Loaded with featuressome unavailable on the competitionand offered in both sedan and wagon forms, the Passat continues to be an affordable way to enjoy true German engineering without breaking the bank. A smooth and powerful turbocharged four-cylinder that delivers excellent fuel economy and V6-like acceleration powers the base model. Those seeking a bit more power can opt for a potent, but pricy, V6. Toss in an interior fit for an Audi, and you have a compelling reason to go VW.
If you appreciate the typical distinctions associated with European sedanstangible and intangibleyou might consider the Passat to be one of the best values on the road.
If its driving dynamics or design distinctions don't make an impression on you, there's little reason to choose the Passat over benchmarks like the Honda Accord or Toyota Camry, which both feature base models priced below $20,000.
New trim names are Turbo, Komfort, Lux and VR6. New standard features include a 12-way power driver's seat, manual side sunshades and a leather steering wheel and shift knob. Adaptive bi-xenon headlamps are made standard on the VR6.
Driving Impressions If above all else you're seeking insulation from the realities of the open road, the 2008 Volkswagen Passat might leave you feeling a bit exposedit is neither the smoothest-riding nor...the quietest car in the category. Still, we remained comfortable after hours on the road. We liked the 280-horsepower V6, but were especially impressed by the 200-horsepower 2.0 turbocharged four-cylinder that's more responsive than traditional turbocharged engines. We haven't had a chance to drive the six-speed manual, but the six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission was very good and especially reactive in its sport mode. As is characteristic of European sedans in general, the Passat behaves with stability and predictability from low to high speeds. Perhaps most significantly, the all-new Passat is wholly successful in being exactly the car it wants to be.
Dynaudio Sound System
The optional 10-speaker sound system by Dynaudio (a well-regarded Danish speaker outfit) is one of the best we've heard.
Sport Package
Offering a stiffer suspension, lower ride height and deep sport seats, the optional sport package makes the Passat even more of a driver's car.
Inside the Passat you'll find a combination of style and refinement unmatched by any of its non-premium competitors. Quality materials and dynamic design combine in a passenger cabin that's at once both relaxing and energetic. Leatherette seating gives even the base model an upscale feel that cloth rarely delivers. Interior trim options include wood, aluminum or composite materials. Neat features include an electronic key and electronic push-button parking brake, plus a cleverly placed umbrella holder and two cooled storage compartments. The optional Dynaudio sound system is excellent. Rear-seats offer generous legroom, and a 60/40 split seatback functionally extends the Passat's already deep but narrow trunk.Exterior
With similarities extending from their tall, V-shaped chrome grilles all the way back to their nearly identical taillights, never before have the Passat and Jetta shared such a strong family resemblanceeven though the larger Passat effectively projects itself as the more sophisticated older brother. The Passat is also bigger than the last-generation car, measuring three inches longer and three inches wider. Wheel options range from 16-inch to 18-inch alloys. The big VW badge placed prominently on the rear doubles as the trunk release.
Even base 2008 Volkswagen Passats feature an impressive list of standard equipment that includes a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, six-speed manual transmission, air conditioning, single-zone climate control, AM/FM/CD-MP3 sound system, V-Tex (simulated leather) seats, power locks/mirrors/windows (one-touch up/down in front), cruise control, comprehensive trip computer, umbrella holder, 12-way power driver's seat, keyless entry, cooled storage, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, electronic push-button parking brake, tire pressure monitoring system, 16-inch alloy wheels and a hill-hold function that prevents roll-back during hill starts. Standard passive safety equipment includes front, front-side and two-row side-curtain airbags, plus crash-active headrests and seatbelt pretensioners. Active safety equipment includes anti-lock brakes (ABS), plus stability and traction controls.
The Passat's list of optional features is almost as impressive (or daunting) as its standard equipment list. Powertrain options include a 3.6-liter V6, six-speed automatic transmission and 4MOTION all-wheel drive. Other trim-level, package and stand-alone options include rear-side airbags, navigation system, power glass sunroof, six-CD changer, Dynaudio sound system, burled-walnut or brushed-aluminum trim, leather seating, multifunction steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, automatic headlamps, automatic wipers, foglights, heated wiper nozzles and self-dimming rearview mirror.
We really liked the 2008 Volkswagen Passat's powerful V6 engine, but came away even more impressed by the new four-cylinder turbo that provides plenty of power along with highway fuel economy close to 30 miles per gallon. The 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system operates as a front-wheel-drive unit until extra traction is needed, thereby reducing fuel consumption. The 4MOTION system is available only in combination with the V6, while the manual transmission is available only with the 2.0 turbocharged engine. Zero-to-60 miles per hour times range from 6.2 seconds to 7.4 seconds, according to Volkswagen.
2.0-liter in-line 4 turbocharged
200 horsepower @ 5100-6000 rpm

"First VW I've ever owned, and I'm not sure I can ever buy Japanese or American again. Car has very nice "feel" for the road, especially on highway, where it will cruise serenely at 90 mph. I regularly drive 100+ miles, and it's the most comfortable car I've driven, makes traffic seem less bothersome. Interior is absolutely first-class, a real European luxury automobile (I have the highest trim level w wood accents). Lots of smart design touches and amenities. A very upscale car. Reliability has been OK, but repairs can get expensive. I purchased as pre-owned certified w 30K on it, and now have over 90K, just beginning to experience some repair costs, ouch, but still love to drive this car."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8
"I am really satisfied with my Passat 3.6 4 Motion wagon but the repair work is quite expensive. For example, a new headlight will cost around $425 installed at a dealer (they told me the front bumper had to be removed) but around $225 at a certified shop (they did not have to remove the front bumper so go figure that out) which was quite surprising to me. I have the lower profile version with oversize wide tires and the car handles like an expensive European sedan car. I am also impressed with the great acceleration. On a side note, I have never used the paddle shifters or Triptronic and I am not sure why both had to be installed. As for the interior, I have not had any issues at all so far but for the exterior, the rims seem to ding and scratch fairly easily. Be careful with the low profile front end because scraping curb parking bumpers can be an issue"

how do i modify/paint a texture at runtime. e. g. i'd like to change color of texture parts like hair, skin. or i'd like to change the color of a sphere, based on user input. how would i do that?
asked Nov 18, 2009 at 08:04 AM
edited Aug 08, 2011 at 03:18 AM
Judging from your use case, I don't think you actually want to change the texture itself. If you want to change the colour of an object that uses a particular texture, just use a shader that uses a Main Colour and a Base (RGB) texture, e.g. a Diffuse shader. If you want to change the colour of only the parts of your object, in your 3D modelling app you can assign different materials to those parts (vertex groups). Unity will pick up the fact that the object uses different materials, and then you can change the colour only on the parts you want.
In any case, here's what you have to do if you really need to change the texture itself:
The fast way to do it is to use the GPU to modify the colours. You will need a helper camera that will render to a RenderTexture of the size of your texture.
You don't need to render any objects yourself, just use the image effects technique (like in e.g. EdgeDetectEffect in Pro Standard Assets) - Graphics.Blit(). That will render the full screen quad for you with a specified material. Shader from that material will get the source texture (so the one that you want to modify) as *MainTex property, and the destination texture will be the active render texture.
For this helper camera set a RenderTexture that you have created in your code as a target render texture, disable the camera (so that it doesn't render automatically). Then from your script on the main camera in OnPreRender() method call helperCamera.Render(). Last step - instead of using your original texture on the object that you want to be modified - use the render texture to which the helper camera has rendered.
answered Nov 18, 2009 at 10:09 AM
for texture modification you can use Texture2d class's functions like setpixels and getpixels
you should do all of your setpixels and then call apply function.
you can copy an image on to another by getting the source image pixels and copying them to destination by setpixels. for some cases you can use the color property of the material to change the colors.
if you want to change certain parts of the texture based on ray tracing or collision you can use raycasthitinfo argument of raycast functions to see what UV position of the object is hit by ray and then copy something there (e.g blod)
answered Nov 18, 2009 at 08:28 AM
An important change introduced in Unity 2.6 means that if you want to be able to use SetPixels, GetPixels, or any other Texture2D function which accesses the texture data, you need to set the texture to be "Is Readable" in the inspector pane for that texture.
Textures are set as NOT readable by default, because it consumes less memory.

@Ashkan, just wanted to thank you for this great answer - still the best after two years!
Oct 14, 2011 at 07:08 AM Fattie
Another way to achieve this would be to use a separate material for each part (although they can share the same texture if you're using a texture atlas), and then you can simply modify the color property to tint the material.
See Material.SetColor() for more information.

Good Friends, Good Waves and Great Beer 3rd Waves Motto
Lori Clough, owner and manager of the brewery, had a distinct sparkle in her eye while discussing 3rd Wave's surfer disposition and freedom to develop new, exciting beers.
We asked about the process of creating a new variety of beer, and she replied: "you just put three brewers in a room and see what happens.. and I get to put in my two cents (laughs)."
Four permanent beers are always on tap at their brewery, including their Shorebreak Pale Ale, 1st Wave IPA, Big Reef Porter, and Bombora Double IPA. Four additional seasonal beers are showcased at any given time as well, and rotate semi-frequently
Burley Oak Embodies Craft Beer Culture Stimulating Local Economy by Anthony Towey
When Berlin squared off against Cazenovia, NY in the finals of Budget Travel's "Coolest Small Town" contest this winter, the mayors of the municipalitiesupped the ante on the competition, each wagering a growler of locally brewed beer on the outcome. Mayor Gee Williams putting beer from Burley Oak on the line may have been intended as a fun side bet (which he won), but it is also highly symbolic of the brewery's importance to its hometown.
In an area with an ever-expanding brewery scene, the Burley Oak Brewing Co. is not only redefining what craft beer can be, but also striving to embody the very essence of the culture itself, and spearheading the emergence of its community along the way.
Harvest Ridge Winery
Chuck Nunan began making wine in his basement in 1995 with rave reviews. In 2010, during a trip to Charleston, South Carolina for his son's wedding, Chuck visited a winery there and was inspired to take his love of wine and winemaking and turn it into something bigger. He and his wife, Chris, had purchased land in 2005 for a family farm in Marydel, Delaware, which he decided to turn into Harvest Ridge Winery.
As a family farm winery, family comes first. The Nunan family is headed by Chuck and Chris. Their first (very successful) joint venture began in 1974 when they got married. Their three sons, Chip, Christopher, and Craig are all nearby and work in the family businesses. All three boys are married and there are currently six grandchildren (with more on the way).
The theme of "family" is evident even in the Harvest Ridge logo. The roots of the Harvest Ridge tree are prominent, in part to reflect the deep roots and lineage of the Nunan family.
The name "Harvest Ridge" was the original name of the farm and was retained for the winery. The first vines were planted in 2011 – Chardonnay, Viognier, Malbec, and Merlot.
Harvest Ridge Winery's property spans the border of two states – Delaware and Maryland. It is on the historical Mason-Dixon Line. In fact, one of the most unique features of the property is the existence of one of the Mason-Dixon's original witness stone and crown markers – number 47 – located on the property.
16 Mile Brewing Company
Located just outside historic Georgetown, Delaware, 16 Mile Brewing Company is one of Sussex County's best kept secrets. Tucked away, just off the main highway, 16 Mile is a newer landmark along the mostly agricultural landscape. But just beyond the walls lies one of the fastest growing craft breweries in lower Delaware.
16 Mile owners, Brett McCrea and Chad Campbell believed that Sussex County offered them something unique – a safe place to raise their young families and an area perfect for a new business that celebrates old traditions, while creating new ones. 16 Mile Brewing Company was the ultimate joint venture – a way to capitalize on Chad and Brett's unique skills and backgrounds AND their passion for great beer.
The 16 Mile Brewing Company name harkens back to the late 1700's when Georgetown was still known as Pettijohn's old field, a rather isolated town, centrally located in Sussex County. The area was "16 miles from anywhere" in the county and was the best place for farmers, merchants, and politicians to meet to conduct official business.
Staying true to the area's history, 16 Mile chose names for their brews that carry a historical significance including Old Court Ale, Blues' Golden Ale, Inlet IPA, and Harvest Ale. Stop in to try a sample of these, and many more, and see for yourself why 16 Mile is quickly making a name for themselves throughout the Mid-Atlantic area.
Chatham Vineyards on Church Creek
Family-owned and operated by The Wehner family, Chatham Vineyards overlooks Church Creek, on the eastern shore of Virginia. Several historic buildings line the property including a Federal-period brick house built in 1818. Chatham Farm has been a working farm for over four centuries.
Chatham produces over 3000 cases of wine annually including multiple varieties of chardonnay, merlot and cabernet. The grapes are hand-picked and sorted before pressing to ensure the highest quality of the juice. Their Steel Chardonnay varietal was recognized by Wine Enthusiast Magazine. In addition, the vineyard was recognized as one of the "100 Best of Virginia" by Virginia Living Magazine.
Ever aware of the importance of promoting their local surroundings, Chatham has featured wine pairings with purveyors of local, Church Creek oysters and partnered with neighboring business, Southeast Expeditions, on eco-friendly kayaking tours. They host many events throughout the year but you can also find them at wine festivals throughout the mid-Atlantic region.
Judging by the breathtaking views of this expansive vineyard, the short drive to Virginia's eastern shore is a trip worth taking! See for yourself at www.chathamvineyards.com.
Fin City Brewing at Hooper's Crab House
Fin City's story involves humble beginnings, assembling and constructing a brewery in a West Ocean City garage. "We designed it from the ground up and received loads of help from Doug Griffith, owner of Delmarva Brewing Craft, based in Millsboro, Delaware and Bryan Brushmiller and his entire crew at Burley Oak Brewery, in Berlin," said Ryan Intrieri, Hooper's General Manager.
The five 150-gallon kettles had been set up in Hooper's for the past year, but they were just not able to start making beer until recently.
"After approximately a year and half of extensive paper work and developing the brewery, they were finally ready for prime time.
The Fin City Brewing Company, opened in April 2012 and serves what they call "obscenely fresh hand crafted ales in a friendly, lively atmosphere". They brew on-site exclusively at Hooper's Crab House in West Ocean City, MD at the foot of the route 50 bridge.
Brewmaster Vince Wright brews up Sneaky Wheat, Fin Light and Pale Ale as well as a seasonal pumpkin ale.
Fin Light is a "full-bodied light beer." Sneaky Wheat is comparable to Blue Moon, has a citrus taste to it and served with a blood orange slice. Pale Ale is light and smooth with no aftertaste. Growlers and pints available. What better beverage to serve up with steamed crabs! Check out Hooper's in West Ocean City to try their newest creations!
Costa Ventosa Winery and Vineyard
Throughout the year we will be profiling the characters behind the wines and ales you buy. Their stories provide great insight into the bright future of Delmarva's wine and beer industry.
Costa Ventosa is a casual, fun winery located on 10 acres of vineyards and farmland in Whaleyville, MD, just 10 minutes from Ocean City and Berlin. In Italian, "Costa Ventosa" means "Windy Coast." Take a tour of the wine production area, gaze out over the 4-acre vineyard, or sit on the front porch with a glass of wine and meet the owners Kathy and Jack Lord. She's the winemaker and he's the dirt guy or vineyard keeper. Whatever their tasks, they are one dynamic duo!
Costa Ventosa will be celebrating their 2nd birthday this summer with a party on Saturday, July 14th at 2pm.
They offer winery tours, a gift shop and free wine tastings. "Wine Down" every Friday between 6-8pm with live music, complimentary finger food and discounted wines by the glass.

I'm 36+2 and at the end of my 34th week I went to clinic and had raised bp, something like 167/94, I also had + protein in urine, that morning I had started feeling unwell, waves of nausea, feeling a bit 'wobbly' and generally not right, hot flushes too.
So they admitted me and that day I continued to have similar readings just slightly lower but still above the range they wanted. The gave me 200mg of labetalol. (My pulse was also very fast but I've had tachycardia in my first pregnancy, this is my second and it's more anxiety than anything I think, it's just more sensitive when pregnant) I stayed over night and they gave me 200mg more the next morning as my bp was 162/84 ish. Literally only just on the realms of too high. I had a bad reaction to this about 40 minutes after having the dosage, bp went crazy low, like 50/30 low. I was passing out, on O2 having drips put in etc. very very scary experience, after this I think anxiety set in a bit which didn't help. So they stopped the labetalol and luckily my bp stayed lower, not perfect but in the 140s/80s range. I still had protein in my urine, one sample I'd have it and the next I didn't. On the 4th day thy were about to send me home when I had +++ protein in my urine. Bp was still not great but not classed as severe. So they got me to do another sample and sent it for a ratio test, came back okay, so I went home and have been resting since. I've only had one sample with protein in since and the last few have been clear. Bp has remained ok and has gone back to complete normal in some readings. Bloods have always been fine, just needed a bit of iron. I get headaches but only mild and not constant. No swelling of significance and no major visual problems that I can make out. Since initially feeling unwell on admission to hospital I haven't felt as bad as that once, had a bad cold just recently but nothing else that I couldn't expect this far on.
My question is, am I out of the woods? Or can it all suddenly come back? Can other things cause what I experienced? I just want to relax about it!
Thank you if you read all that its really appreciated

Grey's Anatomy
Ellen Pompeo Starts Production Company, Is She Leaving Grey's Anatomy?
Ellen Pompeo (Meredith Grey) has been a busy girl. Not only is she pulling a heavy dramatic load on Grey's Anatomy Season 8, but she's also been building a career outside of the show.
According to Deadline Hollywood, the Grey's Anatomy star has started her own production company, Calamity Jane, and she's already sold her first project to ABC. It's an as-yet-untitled show written by Mike Sussman (from TNT's Perception), about special agents who travel the world to protect US officials.
That definitely sounds like it could make for a fun show — Alias meets West Wing — but this news makes us wonder if Ellen will want to return to Grey's after her contract is up at the end of Season 8. It seems like she'll have plenty of other things on her plate. Say it isn't so!

Step 1: Getting ready
I ran it through the the washer on a hot/cold cycle with something in the washer to help agitate the fibers like tennis balls or sneakers. This is a form of wet felting and it will set the sweaters yarn making it ready to pin felt.
Step 2: Cutting into a shape
- I removed the sleeves and the shoulder area of the sweater.
- Then I trimmed the arm holes close to the seam so it looks like it is a finished seam.
- Saved the sleeves for later projects.
Step 3: Sewing
Step 4: The fun! Time to pin felt
Step 5: Making shapes and adding color!
- you and add more roving if it is too thin.
- I balled a small amount of roving in my palms for the small round spots
- I twisted 2 colors together for a different look
- I wanted to layer my circles and one area I wanted the color to be under an existing so I used a mason jar ring as a guide.

Nine people are feared dead after a Sabreliner 40 freighter crashed on take-off from Culiacan in Mexico.
Mexico's transport and communications ministry (SCT) says that the Sabreliner, owned by Mexican shipping company Jett Paqueteria and carrying the registration XA-TFL, blew a tire when attempting to take off from the western coastal city of Culiacan.
SCT says the incident occurred at 0940 yesterday morning. Citing early reports from the scene, SCT says that the aircraft obtained air traffic control clearance and began a take-off run.
The aircraft blew a tire, causing the pilot to lose control. It then skidded onto the Culiacan-Navolato highway, where it hit three vehicles before striking a factory building.
Investigations into the cause of the accident are underway, says SCT.
Local media reports say that there were nine fatalities, comprising the aircraft's three occupants, a family of four who were in a car on the highway and two soldiers patrolling the highway ahead of a presidential visit.
Pratt & Whitney-powered XA-TFL carries the serial number 265-048. It entered service in August 1962 and was formerly operated by the US Air Force.
Culiacan International's runway 20/02 is an asphalt strip about 7,550ft (2,300m) in length.

Ever have the feeling you're supposed to be an expert on food blogging before you've even begun? Elise Bauer of Simply Recipes can help. A mega-successful blogger, she started the Food Blog Alliance as a professional association for food bloggers.
"Many of us are trying to improve our blogs, to better serve our readers, to make the experience of blogging more fruitful and enjoyable, and to build our readership," she writes. "My view is that the more we can share what we are each learning with each other, the better all of our blogs will become."
You'll find tips to improve your food writing, including a post from Amy Sherman of Cooking with Amy about adjectives, plus expert technical advice in friendly language about such things as Search Engine Optimization and tools and maintenance. I know I'm going to be all over this site in the coming few weeks.
I admire the sense of community and giving spirit on the site. It's what I love about the food blogging world. Many food bloggers have been generous to me. I have to say, it's a little different from print. Maybe it's because the print world is shrinking, whereas this one is expanding?
4 Responses to "Food Blog Alliance to the Rescue"
Food Blog Alliance is a wonderful resource. I'm glad to see you mention them.
Loved your book and am thrilled to see you've joined the blogging community.
Food Blog Alliance is a great resource. And Elise is just amazing. She is so accessible, generous and helpful. And you're definitely right about how giving the food bloggers are. I think that is probably why it is expanding 😉 maybe it is a bit like gardening, you harvest what you sow?
Diane– Thanks for the post with more helpful information for us food bloggers.
I agree that the Food Blog Alliance is both a great resource and a generous community. I find myself recommending posts to folks who blog about things that have nothing to do with food — there are insights and handy tips on point for others in the blogosphere as well.
Another cool resource — to newbies or people trying to find their niche in blogland — is Jane Boursaw's e-course Blogging for Passion & Profit:
I've learned loads & for a Luddite like myself it's totally taken (most of) the anxiety out of all the techie stuff. Don't just take my word for it: She comes highly recommended by members of Freelance Success: http://www.freelancesuccess.com/

Taylor Swift and Jon Bon Jovi Sing… with Prince William!
Quite the unlikely musical group.
Quite the unlikely musical group.
Can you imagine THIS as one of the pictures in your wedding album???
An Australian super-fan named Branka Delic started a Facebook campaign to have Jon Bon walk her down the aisle when she got married in Vegas. W
Rock star feuds are always entertaining, although we wish this one would end.
Bon Jovi rocked Darien Lake last night, and even with a 30-minute thunderstorm delay, it was a great show.
Bon Jovi is at Darien Lake tonight, and we wanted to see whether or not his family's pasta sauce was as good as some of the other sauces available around the Buffalo area.
Using jarred sauce in my house is sacrilege, BUT it's Bon Jovi's family sauce! I think my Italian grandma might forgive me!
Sorry, Beliebers, but your main man Justin Bieber is not the most popular dude right now. Even Jon Bon Jovi is taking some pot shots at the teen heartthrob.
About three weeks ago, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora let the band on tour to deal with a personal matter.
Bon Jovi's PR announced that Richie Sambora wasn't going to be on tour with the band for "personal reasons," and now we know what those might be.
Apparently Jon Bon Jovi tried to make Sambora go to rehab, and Sambora was all, "No, no, no." Or maybe he used a Vocoder and was just like, "It's my life." Either way, he didn't want to go.
He didn't sound like this at Sunday's show at the FNC, did he?? (Watch the whole thing!)
With another season of 'X Factor' blessedly in the bag and off our television screens, the search begins for new judges to try and save the sinking ship that is this ratings bust of a show.
And if you liked the messy duet that LeAnn Rimes did a few weeks ago, you're in luck -- you may get her on the show full-time. Meanwhile, Jon Bovi Jovi has given a definitive no.
Stephanie Rose Bongiovi, the 19-year-old daughter of Bon Jovi frontman Jon Bon Jovi, was arrested this morning (November 15) on drug charges at her college in Clinton, N.Y., after an apparent overdose.

A few days after he said the Suns didn't get respect from the Boston Celtics, the theme arose once again in a 97-87 loss to the Spurs. Sure, Phoenix displayed more resiliency and a refreshing effort, but the frustrations within the game still lent evidence that the Suns have the tallest of mountains to climb. There are no moral victories when 18-39.

Sony's new motion control system, PlayStation Move, has been the talk of the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, since demos and details were revealed Wednesday. The biggest charge that's been leveled against Move is that it's little more than a Nintendo Wii remote clone.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, at least from a business standpoint.
"Replicating upon the Wii's success is not a bad thing — we don't need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to motion control," says Jesse Divnich, an analyst at Electronic Entertainment Design and Research. Divnich thinks there's room for more than one motion control system in consumer's hearts, and thinks Move will potentially sell well: "Consumers love motion control."
To be fair, the Move system does differ from the Wii in some key ways. The PlayStation Eye part of the Move system is able to track a player's positioning in real 3-D space (with the controller), something the Wii system can't do. This allows for games built on the system to have more precise, one-to-one mapping of player movement in real-life to that on the screen.
Demos of Sony's system showed some nice augmented reality applications as well. One example of this was the game EyePet, in which players' likenesses show up on screen and can interact with a virtual animal.
In addition, motion control will for the first time be paired with high-definition games with Move, since Nintendo's Wii does not support HD.
But will consumers be willing to shell out the "sub-$100″ price for the basic PlayStation move kit when it comes out later in the year?
"Pricing has always been a concern, but look at Rock Band and Guitar Hero," says Divnich. "You're talking about consumers who spent $180 just for one game."
The PlayStation Move will also be coming up against Microsoft's Project Natal motion-control system for the Xbox 360, which is also scheduled for release toward the end of the year. With all three of the big console-makers getting into the motion-control game, the competition is going to be intense. Even if Divnich is right about the consumer's love affair with motion control, that will still be a lot of love to spread around.

Corpus Christi voter gets wrong ballot, misses out on city election
CORPUS CHRISTI - A ballot mix-up Tuesday morning left one resident missing out on the city election.
A man who lives in voting precinct 127, which stretches from just north of the Crosstown Expressway and Weber Road down to Kings Crossing, was handed the wrong ballot when an elections clerk transposed the numbers. He was supposed to vote in the city election, but he was given a ballot that only included the London Independent School District. There are three ballots for the precinct.
Compounding the confusion, voting precinct divisions 127A and 127B were mislabeled on a map posted on the county's website.
"Because these elections are so complex, boundary lines are in and out of the precinct," said County Clerk Diana Barrera, adding that the county apologized to him, but "he should have just stopped immediately and brought it to the attention of the clerk" if he knew he should be voting for the city races.
He won't get to vote again. Barrera encouraged anyone who believes they received the wrong ballot to alert an election worker before casting it.

|The Chubu University Connection
Chubu University stands 9,500 miles east of Athens, in Kasugai City on the Aichi Prefecture, kilometers away from the rocky Mikawa Bay on the Pacific Ocean. Founded in 1938 by Kohei Miura, a former Nagoya College of Technology professor, the school began as a small technical school, but has slowly developed into one of the most multi-faceted universities in Japan, offering graduate and undergraduate degrees from engineering to humanities.
Beginning in 1973 Dr. Kohei Miura and by Dr. Claude Sowle, Presidents of Chubu University and Ohio University respectively, signed a formal agreement, stating that the universities would exchange professors as a part of the Miura Visiting Professors program, giving students and professors the unique opportunity of having a truly international learning experience.
It's now been 40 years since James C. Gilfert, an electrical engineering professor, made the nearly 50 hour trip to Japan's Chubu University. Now he and his fellow Miura professors share their memories of their time spent abroad, reflecting on the people and places of Japan. These professors not only found professional benefits to the exchange program but also developed personally, and many of the stories here are stories not of work, or of a foreign place, but of people and kindness—things that are universal, no matter what side of the Pacific.
Please visit the Chubu Memoir pictures/stories page for pictures and stories sent by current and former Ohio University professors and students regarding their visit and experience with Chubu University.

2009 President's Remarks
Commencement Remarks by President L. Jay Lemons
Members of the class of 2009, you entered Susquehanna with great expectations upon you and great promise to meet and exceed our hopes for you. As we celebrate your Commencement today, I can assure you that you have fulfilled not only the expectations we had for you but, I hope too, those you had for yourself.
On behalf of the faculty, staff and Board of Trustees, I thank all of you who have had a hand in helping these 426 students succeed. We know that pursuing a college degree is not a singular endeavor; rather, it is one that requires helping hands, gentle nudges, and direct pushes from family, friends, teachers, and mentors. So in a sense, today is your Commencement too. We are grateful for the opportunity we have had to bring you into the embrace of the Susquehanna University family. While graduation marks the academic achievements of these students, it does not bring to a close your place in the university family. Please know by your presence in the lives of these graduates you will always be a part of this place.
Graduates—please stand. Turn to face the crowd. On this special day, please take a moment to look around this audience for your mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, dads, grandfathers, uncles, brothers and friends who have helped to light the way for you. To all of you who have been there all along the way, this standing ovation from the class of 2009 comes with grateful hearts and much love. Graduates, will you share your appreciation?
Will the faculty please rise? The faculty are the heart and soul of an institution of higher learning. Here we have a supremely talented and devoted group of distinguished teachers and scholars. Faculty colleagues, I want you to know that I hear every week from our students that you, along with other members of the staff, are the most essential and best part of the Susquehanna experience. I want to join your grateful students and their families in thanking you for your dedication, your wisdom, and your love for Susquehanna students.
If you are feeling pride today, I believe it is well founded. These graduates have distinguished themselves here in compelling ways that lead me confidently to know that these new citizen leaders will make great contributions as they continue their journeys.
We gathered as an assembled body for the first time in August of 2005 for our Opening Convocation. On that day, I shared with you a quotation from Albert Einstein: "The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once." Your four years at Susquehanna provided for you a series of moments—some pleasant and some painful—that create the brilliant and vibrant mosaic that is your Susquehanna experience.
For 108 of you, I hope yesterday provided your penultimate peak experience here at Susquehanna—climbing Mt. Mahanoy together. From that lofty place we saw the beauty of our river and these old mountains. We saw the campus we call home. We had a sense of being together, having accomplished a good climb and the vastness of the world that awaits you.
The combined effects of your years at Susquehanna is a footprint on our campus that joins those of all the classes before you and sets for the classes that follow you the course of being and doing that is The Susquehanna Way. As you have navigated these 300 acres over these past four years, I hope that you have developed an equally important sense of being rooted in a community that isn't bound by acreage. Your relationship with Susquehanna and its people—is a lifetime one to be nurtured and shared.
You have been a delight and we are grateful for the ways each and every one of you that have helped to change and shape the university.
Today, you have come full circle. The same powerful mix of emotions you felt as a first-year student at Susquehanna is likely bubbling up near the surface again today. Apprehension mixed with excitement about expectations, fear of leaving the home you knew to set about creating your own home in a new place and making new friends, hesitant about whether you'll be able to succeed when you don't know what lies ahead of you, On this day, you should also feel confidence because you've faced new challenges before and have prospered.
As I reflect back again to Opening Convocation 2005, I understand better the emotions your parents felt on that day. It is a mixture of pride, excitement about what is ahead for you, and the heart tug of saying good-bye. On behalf of the faculty and staff, please know that this day is a bittersweet one for all of us—just as so many of you have expressed to me during these past several months.
Several years ago, we began a tradition of giving graduates pewter acorns in celebration of the beautiful trees that mark our campus. The acorn has rich symbolic meaning for people throughout the world and it is variously associated with wisdom, strength, abundance, success, protection and potential. What has been planted here in these four years has been a mere seed of knowledge that will grow in the rich and fertile environment provided wherever you may next call home.
As you cross the stage and receive your diploma, you will begin the next phase of your lifelong pursuit of learning. In recognition of that and of the connection between Susquehannans, you will each be handed a pewter acorn from Jonathan Illuzzi, the Outstanding Senior Man from the Class of 2004.
Members of the Class of 2009, the recommendation of the faculty that underlies the conferral of your degrees is Susquehanna's expression of our belief that each of you does understand your place in the chain of human history. But, to be truly educated, you must give yourself to the process of learning and the pursuit of curiosity. Seek answers to questions. Impart your knowledge on others. Your education isn't ending, it is just beginning.
Congratulations and Godspeed.

Millennium Development Goals
In September 2000, world leaders endorsed the Millennium Declaration, a commitment to work together to build a safer, more prosperous and equitable world. The Declaration was translated into a roadmap setting out eight time-bound and measurable goals to be reached by 2015, known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
With only a few years left until the 2015 deadline to achieve the MDGs, enhanced commitment, policies, resources and efforts are needed if the goals are to be met. The MDGs are indivisible and complementary and focus toward their achievements should not shift from one to the other. The Decent Work Agenda offers an integrated approach which can contribute to accelerating progress towards the achievement of all the MDGs.
Review of progress 2010
A decade after the Millennium Declaration, there have been significant advances together with important set-backs. The UN Summit on the Millennium Development Goals, held in September 2010 during the 65th session of the UN General Assembly, concluded with the adoption of a global action plan to achieve the eight anti-poverty goals by their 2015 target date.
Development through jobs
Decent work and the MDGs
Full and productive employment and decent work for all, including women and young people, is one of the most effective routes out of poverty.
Post-2015 development agenda
Beyond the MDGs: It's all about jobs and livelihoods
The ILO has called for jobs and livelihoods to be at the heart of the development agenda after the target date for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) passes in 2015.
