Where do Chicago actors look for work in the theater? A member of Actors` Equity Association may call the ``hotline`` run by the union, listing various activities coming up in this area. The number is unlisted, available only to union members.
June Wilson, audition liaison for Equity, explained the process: ``A producer will call me about a new show. I take the information about when and where he plans to audition and what he is looking for. That information is put on our hotline. We also send it out to the various trade papers, like Variety, here and in New York, California and Midwestern cities. Members call us and we set up appointments. On the day of the auditions, an Equity member monitors the audition.``

Brandon Carr didn't suggest putting it in a "3-inch headline" as former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson once did. But Carr wrote his headline Sunday night when he said he and the Cowboys are ready to "take over the league."
"That's going to be your headline," Carr said knowingly.
To that end, Carr has lost 10 pounds and boasts that he is in the best shape of his life.
"I'm trying to take over the league," Carr said while attending the team's 10th annual Taste of the NFL to tackle childhood hunger. "I get emotional when I say that because I'm dead serious, man. I've been playing this game for six years now, and I'm just ready to make that jump and become that shutdown corner."
Carr has played in two systems in his two seasons since signing a five-year, $50.1 million free-agent deal that made him one of the richest corners in the league. He and the Cowboys struggled mightily last season.
Dallas allowed the third-most yards in NFL history, and Carr gave up the third-most catches in the NFL (62) as well as 966 yards and three touchdowns, according to STATS, Inc.
With a new defensive coordinator in Rod Marinelli, Carr expects the scheme to allow the team's corners to do what they do best. They hope to play more man coverage this season.
"That's the plan," Carr said. "As this thing gets on a run, we'll see how it shakes out, but we just want to be in a position to win ballgames. We felt like we disappointed ourselves last year. We've got a big chip on our shoulders. But last year is the past, and it's time for us to clean the slate and get ready to play this year."
Crawford now a DT
Tyrone Crawford didn't get a chance to show the Cowboys much of anything last year. He tore his Achilles on the first day of training camp.
This year, Crawford hopes to show that he can be a defensive tackle.
The Cowboys have moved the third-year veteran to the 3-technique, hoping he and Henry Melton can provide a good one-two punch at the most important position in the Tampa Two scheme.
"I just want to get him in a position where he can really showcase what he can do," Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli said. "That position either you showcase or you don't. If he can't do that, then yeah, he's a good left end, too.
"He's solid, really good at left end. But you always have to have at least two of those guys [at the three-technique]. You have to. It's a hard position to play. If you've got a guy who can come in and rotate with a guy in there, boy, it's tough, and in third downs, if you find a nickel inside rusher. ... I think he's got a lot of that."
Marinelli said Crawford has gotten bigger and stronger. The Cowboys listed him at 284 pounds last year. The Bears listed Melton at 295 last year.
Big week for Romo
The Cowboys begin organized team activities next week, and they are hoping Tony Romo's back is well enough to allow him to participate in some of the team drills. The quarterback likely won't do much in individual drills.
But this week is important in Romo's rehab from the herniated disk surgery he had in December.
"We'll see how he does this week and hopefully he can do something [at the OTAs]," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said Sunday night. "He's done a little bit of stuff, and then he's kind of backed off, and then done a little bit more and backed off. So we've just got to kind of evaluate how his workouts go this week.
"Obviously, we'd love to get him out there for everything, but we're going to be smart, too. We recognize it's the third week of May, and what we're trying to do is get him ready to play in the regular season. So I think you want to be aggressive with it, but you also want to be smart with it."

Definition of Spiritual Formation Events
FAQ Spiritual Formation Method
SF110 Mentored Spiritual Formation
SF Grade Sheet SF Intention Form
The Spiritual Formation Ministry exists to glorify God and make disciples by providing a relational context and biblical curriculum to help future servant-leaders explore the topics of Identity, Community, Integrity and Fidelity, experience transformation (growth in Christlikeness), and participate in the Spirit's transformation of others.
Six values inform the Spiritual Formation ministry: practicing presence, recalling the past (the historic church), offering authenticity, extending grace, yielding to the Spirit and listening to the Scriptures. Spiritual Formation groups of five to six students gather weekly for four consecutive fall and spring semesters to pray, reflect on truth, examine their hearts, share and respond. As group members grow together in character and spiritual maturity, the potential for significant relationships and ministry partnerships is established. This course (required for ThM, MACS, MACE, MACL, MACM, and MAMW students, an elective in other programs) is designed to help facilitate students' growth in four areas: knowing God, knowing self, loving well and longing for more of God's transforming work in their lives.
Students at the Dallas, Houston, or Washington DC sites fulfill their Spiritual Formation requirement through enrolling in the four semester SF100 courses. In the fall of each year, SF100 students will be placed in campus SF groups. Students may choose to register for a women's, men's, or couple's group. Married students are highly encouraged to join a couple's group. Because students participate with the same group during four consecutive semesters, they should plan their schedules so they meet on the same day and at the same time each semester. In addition to their SF100 group participation, students may choose to concurrently enroll in any of the four companion elective courses for 1 hour of academic credit per semester—SF201, SF202, SF203 and SF204. These courses require additional assignments which would be submitted to the SF Department through online.dts.edu.
With SF Departmental approval, extension students who will not be attending the Dallas or Houston campuses fulfill their Spiritual Formation requirement by completing the two semester SF110 Mentored Spiritual Formation course. Students participating in the SF110 course may also choose to concurrently enroll in either of the companion elective courses for 2 hours of academic credit per semester—SF201, SF202, SF203, and SF204. These two courses require additional assignments which would be submitted to the SF Department through online.dts.edu.
DTS-DC students have the opportunity to join a Spiritual Formation group. Reach out to Jenna Mead (firstname.lastname@example.com), our DC campus SF Liaison, for more information.

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
Ten years ago, Jane Fonda was 68 years old, I was just 27, and somewhere between The Four Seasons lobby and its ninth floor, she taught me more about sex than any sexual experience I'd ever had.
It was 2006 and I was working on my second book, The Vixen Diaries. Each afternoon, I'd leave home and drive into Beverly Hills just in time for lunch at the hotel. I'd sit at the same table (the only one near an outlet), whip out my laptop, plug it in, order an entree and a bottle of wine, and write until just before the dinner rush. I did this every weekday for the better part of a year and became well acquainted with the owners and staff at the posh hotel, where I met a bevy of guests, both local and from all over the world.
One afternoon, I finished my daily writing and was met by a friend who was staying at the hotel that week. I packed up my belongings and followed him to the elevator bay, with plans to stop by his room and drop my bag before heading up to the rooftop pool and restaurant. As we waited for the elevator doors to open, we were joined by one of those locals I mentioned — the incomparable Jane Fonda, legendary Hollywood royalty (and most recently, the star of Netflix's Grace and Frankie).
Having lived in Los Angeles since 1999, celebrity sightings are not really sightings at all. It's just a part of normal, everyday life and, though I was not underwhelmed by her presence, I was more than happy to share a quiet elevator ride with the star, never acknowledging her awesomeness.
But my friend had other plans.
Hailing from the South, my friend wasn't as accustomed to the likes of legends like Jane Fonda, and before the elevator arrived, he turned to her and robustly exclaimed, "You're Jane Fonda and I think you're amazing!"
"Well, thank you. And what's your name?" she replied, holding out her hand.
"Tony. I'm a boxer. And this is my friend, Karrine. She's a New York Times bestselling author," he gushed while gently shaking her hand.
I was so embarrassed as I turned around to greet Jane, trying not to picture her workout tapes or her role as Barbarella, the two ways I came to know her as a child.
"Hi, it's such an honor to meet you," I assured.
The elevator doors opened and we stepped in. Tony pressed the ninth floor button and asked Miss Jane, "Which floor?"
"Same floor!" Jane responded. It was quite the coincidence as the doors closed and the elevator made its way to the ninth. "So, Karrine, which books did you write?"
"Um, my first book was a book called Confessions of a Video Vixen. I'm here working on my second book now."
"Oh! I know your book. My daughter loves you. I have a black adopted daughter. She read it in a day and talked about it for weeks. You're a strong woman. Smart and sexual. Good for you!"
I think I was more shocked that Jane Fonda has a black daughter than the fact she knew who I was and what my book was about. I was more focused on that, and her way of assimilating with me through that fact as we stepped off the elevator and into the ninth floor bay.
"You know," Jane continued, "I'm proud of you. Keep writing and keep being open about your sexuality; it's healthy, and having sex is healthy. I'm almost 70 years old, and my boyfriend I have sex regularly — just earlier, as a matter of fact."
"Really?" I asked, trying not to appear as shocked as I was at the idea of Jane Fonda and her boyfriend having lots of sex, and just hours ago, to boot.
I thought, She's old enough to be my grandmother!
Wait, is my grandmother having sex, too?
Oh, no!
And then she said, "Have lots of sex and have it all your life. It'll keep you young and in shape." Jane spread her arms like an eagle's wings and continued, "Look at me. It works."
With that, the three of us said our goodbyes and went our separate ways on the ninth floor. Maybe it seems like what Jane said wouldn't have meant much to a budding 27-year-old author, but I never forgot it — it helped solidify what I would come to know as my sex positive feminism.
As young people, we tend to believe that sex is a young person's game. Most people hate to think of their parents or any parents as sexual beings, much less grandparents. I became a mother as a teenager and so I never thought parents couldn't or shouldn't be sexual. Naturally, as a single, young, attractive woman living in a big, flashy city, I knew there'd be lots of sex in my future — or at least I hoped there'd be. However, most of the parents at my son's elementary school were at least 15 years older than I was and fell into the quintessential 40-something suburban boredom mold, and I could see how the stigmatic belief that parents aren't sexy or sexual could be so widespread.
And grannies? Forget about it!
But in walks Jane, and right before my eyes is a woman nearing 70 years old, back then — nearing 80 today — and oozing sex appeal and sexual confidence. Not only that, Fonda is not interested in your sexual or respectability politics, nor your slut-shaming, age-shaming, or body-shaming.
Jane Fonda is me in 40 years.
That one brief conversation changed so much for me. In 2005, the same year Confessions of a Video Vixen was published, Fonda had also published her memoir, My Life So Far. Just as in the literary recollection of my life, Jane wrote about all facets of her professional and personal life, including sex. She named names and made it plain, and not all of it was becoming, because that's just not how life works. But Jane didn't hide behind a facade — she never has — and that is something I came to know and appreciate about her. She wrote openly about bedding prostitutes with her then-husband, Roger Vadim, for instance. That alone is something most women would be too embarrassed to admit.
And there was more, so much more.
Hers is a big life.
At just 27 years old, I hadn't had a chance to have a life so big, but I wondered why I was being publicly persecuted for my sexual truth, a truth white women like Jane tell all the time with little to no backlash. There was and still is a very noticeable difference between sexual acceptance in the Black American community and in the White American community. More so, there is a noticeable difference in the way people in a liberal city like Hollywood see sex and the way most of the country sees it. At that time, I was stuck between my judgment-free life in Los Angeles and the cruel judgements of the world outside of its bubble.
I wondered how I could be as confident in that truth, just like Jane. Well, that day, with her support of me and my work, with her shameless womanhood proudly on display, Jane Fonda let me know that I was going to be okay. She assured me with her kind acknowledgment that I was being seen and heard, that my voice matters, and that the hate I would continue to receive, the death threats, and petitioning for my suicide, would be nothing compared to the joy I would feel when I, too, grew into my womanhood.
When I met Jane Fonda, I met my possibilities. I was met with a camaraderie and congratulations I hadn't known at that time in my life and career, and barely know now. She let me know that there were real women out there who had experienced a lot of life, a lot of heartache, and lots of sex, who aren't afraid or ashamed of any of it. She let me know that women like her understand women like me, and that we're not so different. Her advice might have been tongue-in-cheek to someone else, but to me, it was a healthy slice of feminism, and all I knew is that I wanted to be just like that. All I knew is that I wanted to stand tall, open my arms wide like the wings of an eagle, and say, "Look at me. It works."
So, as Jane prescribed, I am having lots of really good sex and I plan on having it all the days of my life. And true to form, I will never be ashamed to talk about it, whether in an essay such as this, another book, or in the elevator with a stranger. From 27, to 37, to 77, I am Karrine — sexual and free.
Thanks, Jane.

Introduction to Inequalities: Working with Constraints
Lesson 1 of 17
Objective: SWBAT explore the idea of constraints in the context of a real world problem. SWBAT to examine combinations that work and don't work for a business model.
Big Idea: Before learning about systems of inequalities and equations, students jump in to a real world business problem and explore what it's like to work within certain constraints.
Because this is the start of a brand new unit for students, I like to start class with a brainstorm about being a business owner. I begin class by asking students a question like, " What are some conditions that business owners have to think about when they start a new business?" I let students share out their answers as I write them on the board. We look over the list together and I point out to students that some of these conditions can be thought of as limitations or restrictions.
Then I tell students that this unit will focus on them helping two young people start a business as pet sitters. We will learn about some math concepts that will help them advise the business owners about some important decisions. The business owners will have to work within certain limits, and of course, will be interested to know how much profit they can make.
Next, I hand out pet sitters.pdf, and we read it out loud together.

Resources (1)
Next, I let students get to work in small groups or pairs on the task. If students have trouble getting started, you can encourage them to check out what happens with the dad's suggestion of 12 cats and 12 dogs. Students should realize that although the dad's combination would use up all of the space available, it would use up more start up money than they have. Students may then be ready to adjust the number of cats and dogs from there. If I need to drum up more interest among students (which is usually not the case with this problem), I might encourage them to see who can find the combination of cats and dogs that yields the most profit.
Other issues I watch for:
- I watch for students who come up with some understanding of what happens when you take away one cat or dog and what effect that has on the other variable. A student who has an understanding of this concept might be able to relate it to the slope of the inequality later.
- I also watch for students who think about using all cats or all dogs. This can lead to a good discussion on graphing an inequality using intercepts in a future class.
- I look for different ways that students organize the information. I may have students share out how they kept track of the info in the next section of the class.
I have found the idea of profit and start up costs to be confusing for students in this part of the work. I encourage them to think about the start up costs as money they do not have to pay back so they can think of the profit as something entirely separate. This can be a difficult concept for students as some of them want to think about how much they have to spend on one type of animal versus how much profit they bring in. For the purposes of this problem and keeping the inequalities and profit equation separate, I ask students to put that kind of thinking on hold for now.
Discussion + Closing
Next I lead students in a whole group discussion to explore some of the combinations that they found. I always try to show at least one combination that doesn't work, along with many that do, so students can see that a certain combination may fit one set of constraints but not another. This idea will connect well to the graphs of inequalities in a later class.
I have students share out some of their best combinations. I like to have students write out the math that they did to check to see if the combination worked. This makes a nice connection to Common Core Math Practice 8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. I want students to recognize, for example, that in the space constraint, they are multiplying the number of cats by 6 and the number of dogs by 24 and adding those two numbers to make sure they are less than or equal to 360 over and over again. If students can see this work written out, I find it's easier for them to generate the inequality that matches this situation.
After we have a bunch of combinations (and the math behind them) written out, I ask students if they can tell me, in precise language, what math they have to do to check one of the constraints (I start with the space constraint). We write out a paragraph like "First, I take the number of cats and multiply by 6. Then I take the number of dogs and multiply by 24. Then I add those two numbers together and check and make sure the sum is less than or equal to 360." Next, I ask students if they can translate this paragraph into algebra. I then ask students to work on the other inequality on their own by following the same steps.
Lastly, I like to distinguish between the inequalities of space and start up costs and the profit. I ask students if there are any limitations on the profit and if it is a constraint. I then ask them if they can generate an algebraic expression for the profit. I like to discuss the difference here between an inequality and an equation.
I often end my classes with an exit ticket. For today's class, I ask students to write a response to the following prompt: "What is your understanding of the word constraint?" Students write their answers on index cards and I collect them at the door.

For years, the final sets on the Acura Stage at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival each year have been the musical equivalent of home cooking.
For more than a decade, the Neville Brothers owned one of those slots. But last year and again this year, Trombone Shorty occupied the final Sunday spot, with Arcade Fire preceding him.
When the Montreal-based band first played Jazz Fest in 2011, it seemed like a reach into the unfestlike world of indie rock. Since then, the band's interest in Haitian rhythms and Creole cultures has aligned with Jazz Fest's own values, so the band's return this year seemed less improbable.
"This is one of the last places in America that's its own place," said Arcade Fire singer Win Butler, who has developed a relationship with New Orleans and south Louisiana. After the band's last appearance at Jazz Fest, Butler and his wife, percussionist and keyboard player Regine Chassagne, took a Haitian percussion group to an area studio to record their drummers, and he was in New Orleans on NBA All-Star Game weekend to see the game and play an unannounced DJ set.
The band came onstage to prerecorded percussion mixed with the Dixie Cups' "Iko Iko," accompanied by dancers wearing papier-mâché masks of the band members' heads to play "Here Comes the Night Time."
The song's rhythms whipped to life the members already prone to chaotic energy, and they stayed in motion for the 90-minute set.
Like Bruce Springsteen the day before, Arcade Fire filled the stage with a big band, at times 10 members. Many play more than one instrument, and while their energy and exuberant showmanship say they value spirit over precision, they're more precise than the big gestures and swinging hands would suggest.
Also like Springsteen, Arcade Fire deals with serious stuff.
Butler is interested in the feeling that those growing up today have been cheated by a culture that has found ways to isolate, marginalize and diminish their experience.
The show's communal spirit, however, added a crucial, uplifting dimension. It's an element that has made the band a favorite on the festival circuit.
Sunday, there were crucial differences between Arcade Fire and Springsteen, starting with the cultural signifiers. Butler peeled off his jacket after a couple of songs to reveal a Public Enemy baseball jersey, and one of his many guitars bore a sticker from the band's indie label, Merge.
Band members wore face paint, circus finery, some thrift store finds and a few punky, razor-cut hairdos.
Much of the show's material came from the band's last album, "Reflektor," produced by dance rock maestro James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, and the show never made the album's synthesis of rock, electronic beats and Haitian drums clearer than during the title cut, with lead vocals shared by Butler and Chassagne.
She's a good foil for him as her diminutive, unself-conscious presence offers a needed balance for Butler's earnestness.
During the instrumental end of the song, she danced on her own at the front of the stage, even dancing the bow out of her hair.
The set capped the band's tour, and it ended when Arcade Fire concluded its time onstage with "Wake Up," but that wasn't the end of the show.
Butler and Chassagne then led the band into the crowd, where they were joined by the all-woman Pinettes Brass Band, who played the song's wordless, sing-along melody as they second-lined into the audience.
Not, like Springsteen, down a precleared path, but out into the people with only a security guard or two to help make a little space. Slowly, they moved out of earshot and out of camera range and disappeared into the festival.

I believe that every single one of us has a purpose – a role in this world that we were made to fill. I believe that we are most happy when we are actively filling that role, whatever it may be at the time.
I believe that your passion – the thing, action, topic, person, whatever that gets your heart humming – is the clue God gives each of us as to what our role is. It's like a primitive roadmap telling us to do what feels good in order to find our way in the world. Do you like that? Getting warmer. Do you love that? Hot, hot, hot!
Unfortunately, I think we come across a lot of roadblocks on that path. Doubts, insecurities and good old fashion fear work hard to keep us from discovering and embracing our passion.
We come up with great reasons not to pursue our passions.
But why? Why would we struggle to avoid something that could make us so happy? Because there is nothing scarier than the unknown.
We might experience bliss by living our passion, but we might not. We know we can survive the existence with which we are already familiar. Our instinct to be happy clashes with our instinct to be safe, and we come up with a bunch of seemingly valid reasons to avoid taking a step in a new direction toward our passion.
Our individual justifications vary and probably depend a lot on our individual fears and insecurities. These are some common reasons not to pursue a passion, and what I do to overcome them.
5 Reasons Not To Pursue Your Passion
1. People will be disappointed.
Whenever I contemplate making a change in my life, I think about all of the expectations I assume people have of me. Some of them are real, some are imagined, and some are expectations that I have no business trying to live up to.
I can't change my blog because my readers expect a certain type of content.
I can't quit my job because my boss and co-workers expect me to stay.
I can't move because my friends are expecting to have me around.
I'm expected to be funny.
I'm expected to be fat.
I'm expected to be rich, poor, smart, stable, stupid, carefree, serious….
On some level, I hate the idea of disappointing people by not living up to their expectations. Verbalizing these perceived expectations, however, really helps me to put things into perspective and make a more conscious decision about what I am and am not willing to do in the name of not disappointing someone else.
2. You will fail, which will make you look stupid.
I am most afraid of the embarrassment of failure. I'm afraid of being wrong and stupid and having the Imaginary Counsel of Them sit around and cluck about how they "told me so".
I deal with this by putting faces on the counsel members. In most cases, I end up realizing that the chances that someone is sitting around waiting to cast judgment on my life are slim to none. On the off chance that I can identify a would-be judge, I usually find that their opinions really don't matter.
3. You'll never succeed if you keep changing your mind.
This is big for me. Huge. I have had multiple careers already, and I'm only 31 years old. I have changed and evolved as a person, and every single time I am terrified of having to come out to the world as a flake.
I think this is the curse of the passionate person. Or maybe the self righteous person. You see, everything I have ever done or believed or professed, I have done or believed or professed with my whole being. I have thrown myself entirely into my endeavors, absolutely certain that this. was. it!
It's the reason why I've been able to succeed at pretty much everything I've tried.
That's what I remind myself of when I'm afraid of taking another step in yet a new direction. I also remind myself of the people I've talked to who are older than me who have many, many stories to tell about their lives. I'm always amazed at how much living can be jammed into one lifetime, and it never once occurs to me to think of those people with rich histories as flaky. I am, instead, in awe of their breadth of experience.
I also try to remind myself that this is probably the best answer I have for right now. I strive to embrace the freedom of temporary.
4. You can't make a living doing that.
I am a huge proponent of figuring out a way to infuse your profession with your passion, mainly because most of us spend the overwhelming majority of our time at work. But the need to tie a passion to a source of income can be extremely limiting when you're still trying to discern your own "warmer, hotter, colder" clues.
The only way I know how to overcome this is to always take the next step in faith.
I believe I want what I want, whatever that may be, for a reason.
So, I follow my passion as far as it will lead me, hoping that any apparent dead-end will be made clear by the time I get there. Worst case scenario, I get to spend a little more of my free time doing something that makes me happy right now, regardless of how it "turns out" down the road.
5. Pursuing your passion makes you selfish, and being selfish is bad.
A good mother puts her children first. A good wife puts her husband first. A good person puts her faith, community, fellow-man first.
A bad, selfish person spends hours thinking about things like "what would make me happy". An indulgent brat indulges in her fantasies, making sacrifices that affect others in order to achieve her own dreams.
I think that's a pretty common belief system for many of us. I know it was mine for a very long time.
Unfortunately, I don't know what everyone else needs or wants. I learned in marriage counseling last year that I can't anticipate anyone else's happiness as well as I can anticipate my own, which makes me best equipped to meet my needs.
And then there's that whole matter of purpose. I believe that I can best serve the world at large by committing to fulfill my role the best I can. And who am I to turn down the job that was perfectly created just for me?
What are your reasons for not pursuing your passions?

Wath-upon-Dearne man admits killing wife and daughter
A man with incurable cancer has admitted killing his wife and daughter.
Peter Redfern, 70, admitted the murder of Sarah Redfern and confessed to the manslaughter of his wife, Jean, on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
Redfern strangled his wife at their home in Wath-upon-Dearne in July 2013 before attacking his daughter with a hammer when she returned from work.
He admitted the killings on the first day of trial at Sheffield Crown Court. He will be sentenced on Thursday.
The bodies of the two women were discovered after Redfern rang 999 to confess.
The court heard he had incurable bone cancer and was on a drugs trial. He was also suffering from depression.
'Impossible to understand'
He pleaded not guilty to murdering his wife Jean Redfern, 67, but guilty to manslaughter.
He pleaded guilty to murdering his 33-year-old daughter, Sarah.
Det Chf Insp Chris Singleton, of South Yorkshire Police, said the double killing was "shocking and impossible to understand".
He said: "Only he knows why he committed such a violent act.
"Jean and Sarah were a mother and daughter who were as close as a mother and daughter could be."

Denver Breweries On Tap for First Beer from Recycled Water
USAgNet - 09/14/2017
Colorado-based engineering firm CH2M is changing the way we think about water. On Sept. 14, direct potable reuse (DPR) purified water will be delivered to three breweries earmarked to become Colorado's first to produce craft beer from recycled water. CH2M is spearheading the effort to drive sustainable water reuse technology and to build public acceptance of recycled water.
Metro-Denver brewing companies Lone Tree Brewing Company, Lost Highway Brewing Company and 105 West Brewing Company, will receive 330 gallons of direct potable reuse water produced by a mobile advanced water treatment plant in part designed by CH2M in conjunction with Pima County, Arizona, and other participating entities. Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department, will be driving the mobile plant to Denver for a special viewing at CH2M's global headquarters.
"Direct potable reuse is a real solution for stressed water supplies and for future-proofing water resources for resilient cities," said CH2M Reuse Technology Director Larry Schimmoller. "By applying this technology to something our state loves -- local craft beer -- we're highlighting the positive impacts recycled water can have in communities, and helping build public support for similar initiatives."
"On average, it takes 60 ounces of water to brew just 12-ounces of beer, something our customers probably don't realize when they reach for that beer bottle. With water under increasing demand, we want to do our part to build a sustainable future, and that's why we excitedly accepted this opportunity with CH2M," said Tina Pachorek, CEO Lost Highway Brewing Company.
In 2015 CH2M was named the Stockholm Industry Award Winner for transforming the practice and perception of wastewater. By pioneering the third step of wastewater treatment, the company challenged the concept of wastewater by showing that just because water has been used it doesn't have to be wasted.
Said Schimmoller, "It's our hope, and the hope of our partner breweries, that when our guests get a taste of these special batches of ReuseFest beer, their perceptions of water reuse will change for the better as they simply enjoy a great tasting beer. We appreciate the breweries donating their time and beer to help raise awareness and acceptance of DPR water."
The reclaimed water from Pima County's Agua Nueva Water Reclamation Facility will be pumped into a treatment trailer. Once in the trailer, it will be purified using a multi-barrier purification process including ultra-filtration, reverse osmosis, ultraviolet disinfection with advanced oxidation, activated carbon filtration and chlorine disinfection to transform recycled community wastewater into pure drinking water.
At ReuseFest on Oct. 13, invited guests will have the opportunity to tour the treatment trailer, hear from CH2M technology leaders and of course, taste the final products at the Oktoberfest-themed educational event.

AT&T T-Mobile Merger: Perry & Democrats Support it, Received Money
Here is one more thing Rick Perry and some Democrats have in common: staunchly supporting AT&T's proposed merger with T-Mobile.
Yet another thing they have in common? Receiving generous contributions from AT&T in recent years.
On Thursday, North Carolina Congressman Heath Shuler joined 15 other House Democrats to write a pro-AT&T T-Mobile merger letter to President Obama. The letter rehashed AT&T's PR spin about how the deal would create jobs and bring more high-speed wireless coverage to America.
Save the Internet pointed out that these Democratic politicians have collectively received $570,000 in campaign contributions from AT&T.
Either these members of Congress actually believe in the fantasies AT&T cooks up, or they are so worried that AT&T will turn off its spigot of campaign contributions that they'll sign anything the telecom puts in front of them, wrote the coalition.
GOP 2012 hopeful Rick Perry, meanwhile, wrote a pro-AT&T T-Mobile merger letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in his official capacity as the Texas Governor in May. Perry touted Texas' record of job creation and also parroted AT&T's PR spin of creating more jobs in the letter.
The National Journal, however, highlighted that Perry received over $500,000 from AT&T's political action committee over the last decade.
This is just one more example of Rick Perry's pay-to-play network that represents the same old type of lobbyist-first politics, Ty Matsdorf, spokesman for American Bridge 21st Century, a Democratic opposition research organization, told National Journal.
Any way you slice it, the proposed merger between AT&T and T-Mobile is a bad deal for America.
The merger will not bring high-speed coverage to America faster; competition will.
The merger will not guarantee more jobs; common sense and historic examples tell us that mergers usually kill jobs.
Does AT&T promise more jobs in the long-term? So did Vice President Joe Biden with Solyndra.
The merger, moreover, will stifle innovation and raise prices for American consumers in the long-term, even if AT&T temporarily promises to keep T-Mobile's cheap subscription rates.
Shrinking an already concentrated industry from four major players to three - while catapulting one of them to hold a meaningful size advantage over the others - is bad for America and bad for capitalism.
Any basic economics class will tell you that.
It's called being anti-competitive; it's why the Department of Justice broke up Ma Bell in the first place in the 1980s.
The facts don't support this merger, and AT&T knows it. So it's turning to old tricks like getting its paid-for cronies to sign a nonsensical letter of support. Repeating lies ad nauseam is standard stuff for AT&T, but we should expect more from our elected officials, wrote Save the Internet.

Family Stories - Myths and Reality Mr. Samuel McElree of Philadelphia and Adeline Leibel reported that the McElrees' were from around Maghera. Mr. Samuel McElree also reported that Henry had two sisters but that Henry was the only one that came over, that Henry lived with an uncle who was a minister in Philadelphia until his uncle could no longer be responsible for him. Henry then went to Canada to log (this story is incorrect). Henry shows up on the census in Ontario as living with the Matthew Evoy family whose daughter Levina he married. They lived in Philadelphia for a period of time where some of their children were born and went to Regina by train in 1882. Henry hauled freight to Wood Mountain (a 2 week journey) and he filed on a military bounty land claim, not sure if he hauled freight for the North West Mounted Police during the rebellion or not, he could have purchased the military bounty land claim and then claimed using it for more land. Levina developed cancer and went to Rochester, New York for surgery she died of cancer later. He was a farmer.

Violent railway station robber jailed
A 24-year-old homeless man who knocked one victim on to the track at an Essex railway station before robbing him has been jailed indefinitely.
Ian Tomlinson, of no fixed address, attacked and robbed men at stations in Ipswich, Diss in Norfolk and Colchester in Essex during June last year.
Ipswich Crown Court Judge John Devaux said he was a danger to the public and must serve a minimum of five years.
He had admitted three counts of robbery and theft of a motorbike.
'Continued danger'
The court heard that Tomlinson carried out a campaign of violent robberies targeting men at railway stations over a 10-day period during June last year.
He followed his Essex victim off the train at Colchester shortly after midnight and threw a brick at his head knocking him unconscious on to the main line.
"The brick was thrown at close range as the man waited on the platform," the court was told.
The victim fell onto the tracks where he lay motionless as Tomlinson climbed down and stole money from his pockets.
Judge Devaux gave him an indefinite jail sentence saying that the violence he had displayed made him a continued danger.

Audi Victoria Week: Ikon and Executive Decision strong in Audi IRC Series
Marcus Blackmore is thrilled to win at his first Audi Victoria Week. Image copyright Andrea Francolini/Audi.
by Di Pearson
Marcus Blackmore and his TP52 Hooligan (NSW) have won Class A of the Audi IRC Series at Geelong today after victory in Race 7 cemented the deal – and the win came at his introduction to Audi Victoria Week.
Despite there being one race remaining tomorrow, Hooligan cannot be beaten. Her nearest rival, Living Doll (Michael Hiatt) from Melbourne, is nine points behind with a drop in place. Even with the drop reinstated, the Pittwater based boat is in the box seat.
"I know we don't need to sail tomorrow, but don't worry, we'll be on the start line anyway. I'm here to race, not to swan around," a visibly happy Blackmore said aboard his boat.

The Blackmore's vitamin king paid tribute to his crew. "Tom Slingsby (his tactician and a four-time world champion in two separate classes) did a good job today. Actually the whole crew has sailed well," Blackmore said of his highbrow crew.
"The last work got us to the line first in the last race; our boat speed was good. The results could have gone anyway today, it was that sort of day," he said.
Asked would he come back to Audi Victoria Week, the affable yachtsman said: "Yes, I got this boat to race regattas and apart from the first two days, I really enjoyed myself here."
The race is now on for second and third places overall. The Farr 55 Living Doll reclaimed second place overall today by winning Race 6, pushing Stephen Ainsworth's RP63 Loki back down to third place.
Living Doll notched up a win in Race 6. Image copyright Andrea Francolini/Audi.
Loki, from NSW, finished second behind Living Doll in Race 6, but dropped to fifth place in Race 7. She is now one and a half points behind Hiatt's boat with just one race remaining in the Audi IRC Series.
The pair's nearest competitor is the Melbourne based Cookson 50, Terra Firma (Nick Bartels), which is 10 points behind Loki.
Conditions were difficult and required 100 percent attention from tacticians in particular. Light 8 knot winds flicked from north around to an easterly direction and were patchy.
The Audi IRC Series concludes tomorrow with Race 8 of the Royal Geelong Yacht Club hosted series, to be sailed on a windward/leeward course, starting from 11.00am, weather permitting.

Paper Cup
Takeo Paper Co., Japan
2004 (not in production)
In a response to a project conceived by Kenya Hara for the Takeo Paper Company, the subject of a paper cup was investigated. It signified more than mere disposability or mass production – by taking up a sensual and aesthetic position. It was dependant on its contents.
Even before the paper cup was picked up, something appeared very different. Its contents were visible but not defined. Milk appeared differently from orange juice, just as wine was distinct from beer. The cup allowed this difference to show through, the colour conveyed visually with a cup almost disappearing.
The material presented itself modestly, not as plastic, but more honestly as paper, a material closer to wood. People found themselves holding the cup differently, and there arouse a new tension between its fragility and the desire to quench a thirst.
For an object that has such a short life, it does not mean that we should sacrifice the quality of enjoyment that's typically found in objects that stay around for much longer. Longevity of use should not determine duration of pleasure. The result is that, without trying very hard, new qualities present themselves that were always there - they are just made more visible.

Wine Opener and Peg
Muji, Japan
2008 -
The Muji Wine Opener and Peg typifies Industrial Facility's approach to standard, everyday products with a concern for matching basic needs with a comparitive degree of quality, design and price. The design used the concept of appropriation – simple acknowledgement of what is 'close' to the object, and appropriate in its dimension. The handle appropriates the diameter of the wine cork itself, and in so doing, becomes a comfortable place to store the foil cutter. This feature is not celebrated, merely hidden and suppressed, so as to not get in the way of its main job of removing corks.
The Wine Peg – produced a year later – adopts the same dimensions as the lower third of its brother the Wine Opener. The lever which is presented as a flat featureless bar that provides a satisfying surface for pressing.

Taylor's Eye Witness
2007 - 2009
In discussions with Alastair Fisher, director of Taylor's Eye Witness, the subject of low-cost cutlery sold in supermarkets was approached, which could best be described as poorly made pseudo-craft that uses mass-produced methods of production. The cheaper the cutlery, the more grandiose it tries to present itself. The conversation was extended with Muji Europe, who agreed to partner in the production of a low-cost everyday set of cutlery, similar in principle to the conditions of Mono Cutlery designed by Peter Raacke in Post War Germany, where resources were limited.
To do this, Industrial Facility set about looking into a very different direction – not to mimic quality, but to elevate the vernacular of disposable plastic cutlery.
The first experiment was to literally make a transfer of material in our workshop. The result of turning plastic cutlery into metal showed just how beautiful these unseen designs were. It was then a process of refining them, and editing the place setting down to four pieces – including a spork (a combination of a spoon and fork).

Jersey Dishes
Jersey Pottery, Jersey
2007 — 2011
The thinking of this design went along the lines of a set of dishes that acted as a 'meal for two'. Starters, a main dish and dessert. The dishes nestled within the largest one, so making it very compact for storing. Each dish was made from hard paste porcelain and could withstand high and low temperatures. They could move directly from the freezer to the oven, and then to the dishwasher. In 2009, Jersey Pottery commissioned a graphical interpretation of their uses, with 'Sweet' and 'Savoury' versions being created.

Knife Rack
Taylor's Eye Witness, UK
2006 -
To accompany the IF4000 range of knives, a knife rack seemed a relevant product. But it needed a 'useful but odd' character which was very much the interpretation of the company itself.
The Knife Rack presents itself as a simple strip of wood mounted on a wall. When a knife is attached to it, the usfulness becomes visible. The product uses the strength of layered Bamboo in combination with five submerged magnets.

Your wedding invitation font believe it or not, sets the tone for your entire wedding! Be it modern, vintage or romantically elegant, the right font adds that touch of style and infuses your invitations with your personality, reflecting the mood of your entire event. So, yes, its another thing to pay attention to! Choosing the font that best matches your style can be mind-boggling with so many styles on offer. We should know — we carry over 300+ different designs from Bella Figura alone!
If you like the Modern look: Jessica Tierney over at Bella Figura suggests fonts that have sleek, clean lines. They say, "Nothing too fussy or fancy. Simplicity is always key. Scale these chic fonts up in size to make a bold, graphic and attention grabbing statement!" We say, pair them with different graphics to create a bold, one of a kind piece.
If you're more the Vintage type: Bella Figura suggest fonts that have a 'wise and worldly appeal'. A little off-beat and full of character to convey a touch of old world elegance. To achieve the perfect vintage vibe, you could consider combining several fonts together to create an eclectic look. What do we think? Well, you can't go wrong with elegant script fonts paired with flourishes and art deco inspired patterns.
If you're after something more formal: Evoke black tie elegance with fine hand-calligraphy fonts printed on thick card stock. Embellish with gilt edging in shiny gold or silver, perfect for a sophisticated and refined event.
CNBC put together a list of the most stressful jobs in 2012 and guess what? Being an Event Coordinator came in 7th.. after being a soldier, firefighter, airline pilot and army general. Points were awarded on the amount of travel, competitiveness, physical demands, risk to life or health and working in the public eye. Hmmm. No wonder, I crave doing yoga!
On the flip side, the least stressful job is a Medical Records Technician. I think I'll stick with what I love doing, stress or no stress!
Here's the list in its entirety:
1. Enlisted Soldier Stress Score: 84.61
2. Firefighter Stress Score: 60.26
3. Airline Pilot Stress Score: 59.58
4. Military General Stress Score: 55.17
5. Police Officer Stress Score: 53.63
6. Event Coordinator Stress Score: 49.85
7. Public Relations Executive Stress Score: 47.56
8. Corporate Executive (Senior) Stress Score: 47.41
9. Photojournalist Stress Score: 47.09
10. Taxi Driver Stress Score: 46.25

Or even a note scrawled on a piece of paper!
An late afternoon stroll in the park?
Haven't met the right person? You can still make time for someone you care about. Just feel the LOVE!
We have been flat-out busy working on one gorgeous wedding after another without time to even show them off. This love story of a wedding back in November was so full of heart and soul, it made our hearts sing. Their bridesmaids and groomsmen sung and danced their way into the ballroom and the couple performed the most original first dance ever! Coupled with a sleight of hand magician, warm speeches and personalized M & M's, it was a love-fest! We are truly blessed to consistently have such incredibly warm and wonderful couples who seek out our services, this happy couple was no exception, they even invited us to stay for the banquet!
Its always astounds me when I see how a little bit of colour and a touch of candlelight can utterly transform a room (we should have taken 'before' and 'after' photographs)..you would have never guessed that this wedding took place at the Sheraton Hotel Hong Kong.

Supply chain cost management continues to sit high on the metals sector agenda as organizations start to reconsider whether their cost structures are driving or dampening competitiveness.
According to the Global Metals Outlook 2015, metals organizations hope to wring cost savings and competitive advantage from their supply chains. Supplier performance and capability will be key going forward, yet few metals organizations seem to have the required visibility across their supply chain networks to drive improvements.
Concerned about the competitiveness of their supply chain, metals organizations are sharpening their focus on costs and restructuring to support growth.
Supplier performance and supplier capacity rank as top challenges for metals supply chain organizations, yet supplier visibility remains low.
"Metals organizations are increasingly focused on becoming more competitive through new product launches and better demand-planning. But be warned: the reality is that growth and new product launches tend to turn supply chains into increasingly complex operations and that can often become a drag on agility and competitiveness."
- Erich L. Gampenrieder, Head of KPMG's Global Supply Chain Center of Excellence

Insights Jennifer's Story
Jennifer's Story
When she was 17, Jennifer's probation officer mandated that she enroll at Insights, StarVista's program for youth who are struggling with alcohol or drug abuse. Jennifer successfully completed her mandated treatment over a 12 week period and chose to continue her therapeutic work voluntarily for the following three years.
She recently wrote this letter to her therapist and gave it to her.
Dear XXXXXX,
Thank you for always being here for me the past three years. You've been with me through some of the most difficult times in my life and were the only person I could really talk to. Thank you for going to visit me in juvenile hall, and continuing to help me through that – even showing up at my court date. That meant a lot to me back then, and still does. Thank you for listening to my stupid stories, and not judging me. Thank you for letting me cry in your office. Thank you for giving me a place to share my honest feelings when I had no place else to do that. Thank you for being the best friend I've had these past few years. Even though I only saw you for an hour every week – every other week – even once a month – that hour helped me more than you could imagine. I am thankful for being forced into Insights, because I met you and you made me want to keep coming back. I really cannot thank you enough, XXXXX. I don't know where I'd be today if I didn't meet you. Although I am growing and moving on, I would like to stay in touch, if not by appointment, as friends.

Health advisers
From OLPC
Role of advisers
The advisers bring their experience, knowledge, expertise and professional networks to the OLPC-Health project. They would help to propel the project forward by giving perspectives, advising project groups and connecting volunteers/participants with organizations and people who might be able to contribute in a positive way. The interaction between advisers and the Health project volunteer/participants would be through monthly conference calls and advising requests on the wiki. There are no specific time commitments expected from the advisers, but we expect them to be committed to the cause and to participate as much as possible.
Mechanism of advising through a wiki portal
Considering the time constraints of the advisers, different people emailing advisers separately wouldn't be easy on the advisers. So the current idea is the following: Various project groups would list their projects with page links and themselves by name and dated signatures in the Health project advice needed table. In the 'Question' column enter the issue that they would like help with or specific advisory requests, for example "we need to talk to some paramedic regarding our plan", or more specifically, I'd like to talk with person X regarding this plan.
The advisers, as and when their time allows, would periodically review the project table and look through the requests. They could choose to help one or more groups at different points of time by either entering their advice into the table itself if they feel that the information might be beneficial in general. The advisers could also choose to contact the group offline and discuss the issues.
Such and related issues and corresponding progress would be discussed in monthly conference calls with advisers, although the frequency of conference calls amongst the group working on projects would be much higher.

She received a sewing machine as a housewarming gift and spent one friendless evening putting together a hoodie with a hole in the pocket area and a pair of unused mittens. Next thing she knew, she was receiving requests from coworkers, friends, and friends of friends. These mittened hoodies have magical powers to help make new friendships or fortify existing ones.

(Washington, D.C.) May 10, 2014 — Carmen is a Colombian woman and a victim of the terrible violence that has plagued her country for more than 50 years, claiming too many lives and displacing millions from their homes. A Jesuit Refugee Service team visited Carmen's community and engaged in a rich dialogue about reconciliation. Carmen's story particularly demonstrated the power of reconciliation and a mother's love.
Despite being struck down by depression that confined her to bed, Carmen had to care for her granddaughter. She rarely left the darkness of her room, only going out at night to visit the cemetery. There she would cry and cry, kneeling by the grave of her son until just before daybreak. Then she would return to her bed, but her granddaughter would slip into her room and say, "Granny, don't cry. My daddy is alive in heaven."
This changed Carmen. She was compelled to fight for the life of her granddaughter because the girl was fighting for hers. She started to pick herself up and, little by little, to recover her life. Carmen went on to set up an association, Mothers for Life, with the widows and mothers of men who had been killed. They work to help one another overcome their pain and seek reconciliation. Carmen told us her story a few days before the fourth anniversary of her son's death.
She said, "These days around the anniversary are still hard for me, so now I go more often to the priest's house because it lifts my spirits. They killed all his family too."
Reconciliation is not easy, but mothers' love for their children and grandchildren inspires action. When we asked another mother in Carmen's community if she could move forward in reconciliation, she reluctantly replied, "A mother will do anything for her children."
As we celebrate Mother's Day, Jesuit Refugee Service/USA honors mothers everywhere who will do anything for their children. Please join us in honoring, celebrating, and praying for mothers like Carmen whose love for their children inspires us all.

Bonobos Pants Are Tailored to Perfection
Photo credit: Bonobos
Still on the hunt for the perfect lean, green men's trouser? Bonobos offers several sustainable options for the discerning, well-tailored gent, including wool, cashmere, and organic cotton twill.For a company named after an endangered and notoriously randy ape, Bonobos doesn't monkey around. With luxe fabrics, a preppy-inspired aesthetic, and curved, patterned waistbands that run the gamut from straight-laced to flamboyant (red-and-fuschia Pucci florals are definitely the province of only the most self-assured of males), Bonobos' handmade-in-NYC, limited-edition designs are cut closer to the leg to flatter, not conceal, your haunches. The silk-lined pants, which range from $110 to $350, also taper downward to flare in a slight boot cut.
Perhaps one of the online-only brand's best features, however, is its customer service, which caters to men who'd rather staple-gun their foreheads than shop. You're allowed to return any pair of trousers at any time, no questions asked, even if you've already washed or altered them. If you're iffy about sizing, you're free to order pairs in two sizes and then mail the ill-fitting pair back using a prepaid shipping label.
And if you're a public-school teacher, fireman, nurse, or other profession in the public service, you may qualify for the special "Band of Brothers" discount—just so you can get a leg-up on your better-heeled peers.
