35 year old woman | Chicago, IL, USA | Seeking men 30-40 within 10 miles
Dance like no one is watching, laugh like it's the last time and live life to its fullest
I'm looking for someone who is confident, reliable, caring, and funny. Someone who finds amusement in everyday life, can laugh at themselves, enjoys sarcasm, is interested in new adventures and is looking for someone else to share their favorite things with. I am independent, low drama, laid back and generally up for anything. I have booked more than one last minute trip and they always end up being the best weekends. I travel a lot for work during the week so focus my weekends on seeing my family, going out with friends, enjoying the city, relaxing at home or visiting friends somewhere else in the US. I just moved back to Chicago (grew up in the burbs) after living in DC and Altanta for the past 11 years. I am enjoying the city and want to hear about your favorite spots. A few random facts about me: - I really want a dog but I travel too much for work. - I am quite obsessed with my one and half year old nephew - Growing up, we had a train in my backyard that you could ride on – sort of like the one in Silver Spoons. - I have an awesome younger brother, who I am lucky still speaks to me after an incident with a glass door about 25 years ago. - I spent two years in the South for grad school, during which I picked up the use of y'all and a taste for country music - I love checking out new restaurants and bars in the city but often find myself ending the night at my favorite watering holes - I was an amazing skiier at the age of 12, now I am a below average skier but love getting out on the slopes. - I love to travel - I try to use all the miles i earn from work travel to go on an international trip each year - just got back from a week in Europe and am planning my next visit to Laos/Cambodia in the spring. - I just finished binge watching The Newsroom and loved it - next up is The League
I like Dogs
I live in the Bucktown/Wicker Park area but am slowly exploring other neighborhoods - recent favorite travel locations include Bali, Turkey, Amsterdam, and Croatia
Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, MO
Live music and music festivals, making my nephew laugh, jelly belly jelly beans (except popcorn flavored), using all of my vacation time from work, laughing till my stomach hurts, Hulu and Netflix, PB&J, Stanleys, lists of things (can't you tell?)
Drinks with friends, hanging with my nephew, trying new restaurants, cooking, lazy weekend mornings with the paper, weekend trips, going to the movies, jogging on a nice afternoon
I have recently decided that I get too many publications making it difficult for me to get through all of my reading material - not sure what I am giving up yet. I just finished Under the Banyan Tree - novel about the Khmer Rouge events in Cambodia

Although Jackson apparently managed to kick the habit in rehab, he has not been able to kick the criticism and conjecture in the media. The singer received more allegations of child molestation and continued to display increasingly bizarre behavior, like dangling his new baby over a balcony.
Jackson's musical career may seem over, but the recent re-release of his album "Thriller," featuring collaborations with Kanye West, Akon, Fergie, will.i.am and Chris Brown, may get the "Smooth Criminal" back on the charts.
Anna Nicole Smith
This deceased celebrity heiress was famous for her soap-opera-scandalous life and her untimely death. While her death was ruled an overdose of anxiety and depression drugs, Smith had a history of painkiller addiction.
The former Playboy Playmate of the Year claimed that prescription drugs such as methadone nearly took her life.
"I actually went into a coma, you know. I almost died. And I had to learn how to walk again and all this and that," Smith told CBS News. "I had to rehabilitate myself. And then they took the nurse away, so there I was crawling — crawling to the bathroom and stuff."
The blond bombshell admitted that she became addicted to painkillers when her 89-year-old millionaire husband, J. Howard Marshall II, fell ill and died. The addiction was bad enough that Smith ended up in the Betty Ford rehabilitation center.
"It worked," Smith told Larry King in a May 2002 interview. "It got me off everything. It was hard. I hated it. I'll never go back. … They treat you terribly."
Cindy McCain
Cindy McCain, wife of presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., claimed that emotional and physical stress prompted her addiction to painkillers.
After two back surgeries, McCain became hooked on Percocet and Vicodin and continued to take the drugs during the Keating Five banking scandal surrounding the McCain couple in 1989-92.
McCain's habit worsened to the point where she began to steal pills from the American Voluntary Medical Team, an organization she founded to aid developing countries.
"I was an addict. That's why," McCain told CNN when asked about the theft. "I tell you, addiction is a very cunning enemy."
Kowal says it's important to understand the difference between what people call addiction, and what should be called a physical dependence. People may form a physical dependence and have withdrawal symptoms, but as Cindy McCain said, addiction is a much more destructive beast.
"Addiction is an inability to stop using a drug, illegally or legally, even though it's causing harm to yourself, your life or your career," Kowal said.
While it took some fast political footwork to keep the senator's reputation intact, his wife received treatment and is no longer addicted to pain medication.
Rush Limbaugh
Few celebrities have taken control of a painkiller addiction rumor like the conservative radio pundit, Rush Limbaugh.
Though the National Enquirer broke the story of Limbaugh's painkiller addiction in October 2003, Limbaugh promptly admitted on his radio show that he had a problem.
"You know I have always tried to be honest with you and open about my life," he told the millions who listen daily. "I need to tell you today that part of what you have heard and read is correct: I am addicted to prescription pain medication."

Analysis / Fate had quite a laugh
The political system has been laboring for weeks under the assumption that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will not be brought to trial in the Greek island affair.
The political system has been laboring for weeks under the assumption that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will not be brought to trial in the Greek island affair. It was a done deal. And despite that, politicians appeared flabbergasted at hearing Attorney General Menachem Mazuz clear Sharon and his son Gilad of all charges. Even Sharon's advisers could not have drafted a more successful report from the prime minister's perspective.
Moreover, throughout the year or two in which the Greek island affair was hanging over Sharon's head, none of his close associates delivered a speech in his favor so sweeping, so unequivocal as Mazuz did yesterday. Even Sharon's greatest defenders sounded, on occasion, a tad circumspect on certain points, such as the enviable salary the young farmer Gilad received, for browsing the Internet. Yesterday it turned out that every dollar paid to him was paid lawfully. And they, the close associates, didn't know he had it in him.
The prime minister had an unbearable burden lifted last night, and now he can walk tall toward the political challenge awaiting him: building a new, complex coalition, under difficult political conditions, and at the start of an historic political maneuver - evacuating the settlements in the Gaza Strip. Here, at least, Sharon has some ability to control developments since he is no longer held hostage by others. Obviously, the Sharon of yesterday is stronger than the Sharon of the day before. But the political significance of the decision to close the file is not equal to that of the opposite decision, had it been made.
Sharon still heads a minority government. He's still facing a problematic, anti-unity faction, a quarter of whose members won't forgive him for the "disengagement plan." He's still struggling to muster a majority that will enable him to bring Labor into his government. And he's still hankering to be saved by the summer recess. Mazuz's decision doesn't get him off that hook. At best, it gives him a boost among the public, which polls say has begun doubting his integrity, and a great deal of good willingness on the part of the Labor Party to join the government pronto.
Someone among his retinue may yet be tempted to advise him to "take advantage of the momentum" and move up the elections, but that would be a mistake: next week no one will remember Mazuz's decision. The decision does not substantially alter Labor's position. If Sharon were to stand trial, Labor would run from him like the wind. Now it will be easier for Shimon Peres to come to his central committee waving - oh, how he will wave - the government's decision on disengagement from Gaza to argue the move's correctness. The problem is that Labor has not yet received any formal invitation to join. If and when the invitation arrives, negotiating teams will be set up to formulate what has already been understood and agreed and concluded. And then, naturally, both parties will begin their internal battles over posts and honors.
One thing will remain forever unknown - whether, as many believe, the main reason for the disengagement plan's delivery by one who never supported unilateral withdrawal was the legal plight of Sharon, who, so the theory goes, sought to influence the attorney general and public opinion to spare him. If that was indeed the case, fate had quite a laugh.

For those wanting to build their skills or just have some fun on the water, the run from the Rio
Vista Whitewater Park to Pecan Park is always popular and the constant 72° F water
temperature makes it pleasant year-round.
After shooting through the three waves in the Rio Vista Whitewater Park, a scenic flat-water paddle will take you through a lush area of the river. About ¾ of a mile into the paddle, the river will split at the top of Thompson's Island. The path to the right takes you over a 3 foot waterfall which is an excellent place to practice enders, and a small surf wave is great for beginners. The remainder of the run is prone to downed trees and river-wide strainers which often require people to portage or do some tricky maneuvering to bypass the downed branches, especially after recent flooding.
The river will then twist around another ¼ of a mile, which takes you to the base of a 16' water fall named Graduation Falls. Graduation can also be accessed by taking the (previously mentioned) left fork of the river, however this route requires you to get out of your boat two times in order to actually run the falls, the first to cross the road and the second to bypass a concrete slab blocking the entry to the falls, which makes taking the right fork a better option.
Running the falls is fun and for the most part very safe, even for beginners. It is not uncommon to see people running the 16' drop their first day in a kayak. There is no hydraulic and a swim at the bottom is safe. The concrete block at the falls entrance requires boaters to carry their equipment and get into the water directly at the top. The waterfall is not challenging and is great for building confidence, it can be run forwards, backwards, and is a fun place to perfect your boofing technique. Because there are no other playspots for several miles many opt to paddle back upstream to the Rio Vista Whitewater Park.
For those that select to continue on, the next significant feature on the river is Cummings Dam, 3.5 miles downstream. Cummings Dam is a menacing 15' waterfall with a large hydraulic at its base. While several boaters have run the drop, it is not recommended. The portage is easiest to river right. About 1 mile downstream on river left is the take out. Pecan Park allows shuttle vehicles to be safely parked for a small fee.
This video gives a nice view of Graduation Falls:
Put-in is approximately 560' elevation.
Take-out is approximately 517' elevation.
Thus total elevation change is approximately 43'.

Graduation Falls was only 10' on a good day and got closed off back in 2009 when some state
officials welded a metal plate into the slot used for the drop. Don't go over Cummings Dam. Period.

Leaked 'iPhone 5' Front Panel With 4-Inch LCD? [Photos]
Posted August 18, 2012 at 4:53pm by here | 38163 views| Please help us and submit a translation by clicking
UBreakiFix has posted photos of a complete 'iPhone 5' front panel that includes a 4-inch LCD, reports MacRumors.
The new screen is said to have increased to 4" in diagonal (up from 3.5") while preserving the same pixel density as the current iPhone design. This would provide apps with additional screen space to fill. UBreakiFix also provided a zoomed in photo of the top area with serial numbers and LCD connector.
Part leaks for the next generation iPhone have been coming in daily with the device expected to arrive as early as next month.
Take a look at the photos below....

I love how all these "iPhone5 leaks" are coming from no-name repair shops. What makes them so special that they get all these parts in advance? Are we really supposed to believe this?

Matthew - August 19, 2012 at 5:51am
If this is truly the next iPhone, then it doesn't really appeal to me. The tall screen looks kinda weird to me. Have to wait to get a hands on experience before I can make any judgement.

Child care is short-term care
by someone other than a parent. There are two basic types of child care:
individual and group.
Finding good child care can seem overwhelming and a bit
scary. It is an important decision. But if you take your time and do some
research, you can find a place where your child can play, learn, and be well
taken care of.
When choosing
child care, consider your child's safety, how much you can afford to pay, and
your daily routine.
When choosing child care, make sure that
it is:
Federal and
state laws allow equal access to public education and other services such as
speech and physical therapy for children with disabilities or certain
conditions that require special care. Find out which laws apply to your child
and how to get available services. See the Community Services or Government
listings section in your phone book for the local mental health
office or state department of education.
Children need time to adjust to child care. It is common for a child to
cling or cry when a parent leaves. But you can take steps to help your child do
well in child care.
If you spend time with your child and are calm and
loving, he or she will be more likely to adjust to and enjoy child care.

Eyeteleporter and Pinhole Selfies
From a planet not far from the Telestereoscope, two projects have just entered our universe…
The Eyeteleporter, a wearable cardboard periscope that displaces your vision about two feet in any direction:
And Pinhole Selfies, a delightful mashup of retro tech with millennial idiom:
Hat tip to Brock Hanson for the links.
Update: I just realized that the pinhole selfie photographer, Ignas Kutavicius, is the same fellow who invented the amazing solargraphy technique of capturing the sun's movement with a long exposure pinhole camera. Brilliant!
Painterly rendering in your pocket.
My friends Dan Wexler and Gilles Dezeustre have just released a new app for your iPhone/iPad. It's called Glaze. It's a painterly rendering filter for your photos, and it's really cool. It's based on the traditional brushstroke-based model pioneered by folks like Paul Haeberli, Pete Litwinowicz and Aaron Hertzmann, but it adds some neat new twists: face detection to guarantee that eyes and other important features come out with the right amount of detail; a genetic algorithm for mutating and doing artificial selection on painting styles; and a really slick iOS interface that makes all of the above completely effortless and transparent. It also runs blazingly fast, considering all the work that must be going on under the hood. They'll be giving a talk about the details at SIGGRAPH next week. (Here's an abstract of their talk… wish I could go!)
What I find the app does best, so far, is to turn my garbage photos into beautiful art. This, for example, is a picture my thumb took by accident as I was putting away my phone. The original photo was blurry, out of focus, and weirdly composed. But the painting's handmade feeling makes your eye linger on the details, and the results are just lovely. (Everyone's Instagram is about to get a lot prettier!)
Photos from the eclipse
Solar Eclipse May 2012, a set on Flickr.
What a great eclipse! We made makeshift safety goggles out of the Mylar I'd bought, some cardboard, and whatever was kicking around the house. The goggles worked like a charm. For shadow projections, a simple kitchen colander turned out to be the perfect device.
Reminder for next eclipse: must shoot some timelapse of those crazy shadows.
Dragon wrap party… in 3D!
Just got back from the wrap party for "How to Train Your Dragon" in Hollywood. At one point, a bunch of us animators were hanging out on the dance floor, and there was this line of people all taking photos of us at once. These two photos, by Jen Stern and Lilian Ku, must have been shot within a fraction of a second of each other. So I stitched them together into an animated gif. Check us out in 3D!
Cheese ice cream with hot guava sauce
The Brazilian state of Minas Gerais is famous for its cheese, and infamous for its cheese-loving citizens. A popular snack here is queijo de Minas with a slice of guava jelly. So when I saw this item on the menu, I had to try it. The cheese in question has a very light, subtle, slightly tangy flavor, so the result was somewhat reminiscent of a cold slice of cheesecake. Verdict: surprisingly delicious!
Tropical fruits of Brazil
I'm in Brazil for a couple of weeks, Visiting family. My favorite thing about Brazil is the abundant fresh fruit, stuff you never hear about in the States. Shown here: figs, passionfruit juice, and atemóia, which is a hybrid between the cherimoya and the pinha. The flavor is sweet and wonderful and hard to describe, somewhere between a pear and a pineapple, and the texture is slightly chewy and fleshy like a lychee nut. I could eat these all day.
a frightening prospect
Saw this on Valencia Street today. Get your own!
Hearts Revolution video
Well, how about that. Looks like someone has used one of my CC-licensed photos as part of a music video for electropunk band Hearts Revolution (warning, link leads to eye-hurting MySpace page.) The photo they used is a detail of a piece by Apex. I guess the filmmakers couldn't find any decent graffiti-covered garage doors in their neighborhood, so they had to roll their own.

a friend told me if you put wd-40 on soft plastci worms it will work as an attractent. Is this true? Will it work on large and smallmouth bass pickeral and crappie? Will it damage the water?
It will probably work i have had success and i have caught a large mouth and a cupple crappie.
F_K has hit the nail on the head, there is a chance it will work, but for the price you might as well save it for your tools, hinges etc and buy some real bait attractant, such as berkley gulp or carolina lunker sauce, they cause little damage to the water, wont ruin your plastic baits and should increase your catch ratio.
Fisher K has it right.
hey man, i know a few people that swear on this little trick, i have ver tryed it but i have been told that it does. i really can not see it harming the water, you will just leave a big rainbow in the water. what i use is saoking my rubber baits in olive oil and garlic salt. i soak them in that for a few hours before i go fishing and it works pretty well for me. try that if you are wonding if the wd-40 is going to harm the water. good luck good fishing be safe and remember to share the experience
lots of things "aren't done any more". many vintage lures are no longer used.
there's a good chance that these things are now new to the fish and they will work as well as current releases.
l occasionally play with some old wooden plugs on an old heddon pal bait casting outfit with braided black nylon line and have fun catching fish on that old stuff.
l use attractants mainly to cover human scent which (l believe) wild animals, including fish, find offensive.
a can of WD is sure a lot less expensive than a bottle of "Uncle Bob's Super Duper Fish Attractant And Hog Caller". these things usually sell for ten to fifteen dollars and you can't spray your reel with them if you drop it in the water. and it's no more harmful to the environment than the other stuff. particularly if you get it in a non-aerosol pump spray bottle.
WD-40 will not harm your lures, is not offensive to human noses, may even help retard rusting on the hooks, and is cheaper.
try it. like anything else in your tackle box, if it works for you and you have faith in it, that's what you need.
l have faith in "smelly jelly sticky liquid", anise/crawfish flavored attractant.
Gave that a go and you will have good luck on it.

Ex-trooper says he was not told the truth in Duggar molestation case
A former state trooper says he would have taken a different course of action had he known there was more than one allegation of molestation.
A former state trooper says he would have taken a different course of action had he known there was more than one allegation of molestation.
The measure passed by a wide enough margin to override a threatened veto by Gov. Pete Ricketts.
INDIANAPOLIS — Senate President Pro Tem David Long said the change will "unequivocably state that Indiana's (religious freedom) law does not and will not be able to discriminate against anyone, anywhere at any time."
(RNS) "No one in the United States of America should ever be targeted because of who they are, what they look like, or how they worship," the president said.
(RNS) Former U.S. Ambassador Andrew Young was scheduled to be on the ill-fated flight, but, according to a spokesperson, felt "guided by the spirit" not to get on board.
"I know that he had strong Muslim beliefs," said a cousin of Douglas McCain, "but I didn't know that he was in support of ISIS. I didn't think he would be."
(RNS) A small plane carrying Nancy Writebol, the second American Ebola patient from Liberia, arrived in the United States on Tuesday (Aug. 5), making a brief refueling stop in Bangor, Maine, en route to Atlanta and Emory University Hospital.
(RNS) Samaritan's Purse said in a statement Thursday that it was working to evacuate all but the most essential personnel to their home country by this weekend, although the center will remain open.
(RNS) A Facebook page — called "Stealthy Freedom of Iranian Women" — was set up by Iranian journalist Masih Alinejad and includes photos of women without their hijab.
(RNS) The pastor said that he and the man being baptized were also swept away by the waves, but managed to make it back to shore.

How Social Media Marketing Will Change in 2015
Huffington Post
Eight years ago I began my career as a social media marketer. To give this time frame some context, the year was 2007. Myspace was king, as was Digg, both of which are totally obscure today. Facebook was on the rise, Twitter was virtually unknown and Instagram, Google+, Snapchat, Pinterest and Vine didn't exist.
It's also important to note that when I say I'm a "social media marketer," it's important to emphasize that I began my career working with a credible and reputable agency, which is a far-cry from the fly-by-night so-called 'social media guru's' who run around the Internet these days prophesying about things they have no experience in.
In the 8 years since I've started my career, I've seen social media marketing change quite a bit, but I have yet to see any of the big changes that will take place this year.
In 2015, social media marketing will change in a major way.
Here's how you will need to adjust your strategy to stay ahead of the game:
1. Forget the Following:
For the past eight years, businesses have been enticed by social media sites to build their audiences on their platforms. Facebook was the first to roll out an ad platform that allowed page admins to advertise their pages to attract more fans. On a more organic level, many businesses, blogs and personal brands have built their followings through years of shareable content and consistent posting. This all sounds like a perfect recipe for success right? In the end you reap the reward of thousands or millions of fans you can leverage to share and spread your content for free. Here's the problem… This no longer works and hasn't worked for years, yet marketers, agencies and businesses are continuing down this terrible bridge to nowhere. It no longer works because social media feeds are crowded more now than ever before. More users have joined as well as businesses, so your ability to compete for attention is now at an all-time low. That being said, don't waste your time building your following anymore. While it's still important, keep these efforts in the back of your mind because you're not going to get the organic reach you once did years ago.
2. Pay to Play:
Once upon a time, I fell in love with the fantasy that social media was free like everybody else, until I realized that it wasn't. In 2015, you will need to embrace advertising. I've talked a lot about Facebook, and I'm about to do it again. Facebook and YouTube have fantastic ad platforms. Give them a try. The thing about advertising that I want to very heavily emphasize is that success in social media in 2015 and beyond will weigh heavily on brand's being able to develop shareable content and disseminate it quickly. Brands will also need to control the velocity at which content spreads and stays alive in the social space. This is why advertising is so critical. It gives brands the ability to toss out several pieces of content, advertise them, see which ones perform the best and then fire on all cylinders with a larger ad spend to keep things moving. As you consistently pump out content in 2015 that increases in engagement, your following will grow organically and because your content is being engaged with more heavily, it will have a higher organic reach.

Staying connected
now in majority
A majority of Americans adults now own a smartphone, according to the Pew Research Center.
Since 2011, when the nonpartisan, Washington-based think tank began tracking smartphone use through its Internet and American Life Project, 56% of the more than 2,250 surveyed said they own a smartphone, and 91% said they own a cell phone of some kind.
Thats up from 35% who owned smartphones two years ago. Back then, 17% didn't own a mobile phone at all.
Growth in smartphone ownership has occurred up and down the economic spectrum, the study found.

Ruby Boultinghouse photo request
I thank you for looking again. The only thing I have to go by is her daughters obituary that states she was preceded by her parents.
I am going to go back and do some research to see if I can find anything as to where she was buried. Maybe an obituary or burial listing.
Again, thank you for looking and will let you know if I find anything as to (if she was buried there or another cemetery).
***Your email to me:
I visited Mission South again today to take a few more request photos and the dual marker for Claude and Ruby Boultinghouse appears exactly as pictured on his memorial and no additional engraving for a death date for Ruby has been made. There is no sign of disturbed earth so it is still apparent that she has not been interred there in recent times. Memorial #134599389

"It's hands down one of my favorite events of the year. Katie (Wurst) does a great job of putting together a dynamic schedule that carries beneficial takeaway value for all of the participants," he added.
Building on the momentum of the conference, the general attitude of attendees as they left the conference room for the final time last weekend was positive, and the masses were clearly embracing the changes afoot in the USA Rugby youth and high school community.
"The first time we came together in 2006, those in attendance were wondering what USA Rugby had done for us. It's been interesting to see how the philosophies have evolved. Those who have been here for the last three years can see big changes in the way the community operates," added Jesuit's Mattacchione, as he was headed out.
"I think it's greatly beneficial that we get to interact with representatives from the National Office staff -- not a lot of members can say the same about their sports organizations," he added.

Replicate samples collected from the same location exhibited consistently similar DGGE profiles, demonstrating the degree of reproducibility of the results (Figure 1). DGGE banding patterns exhibited some similarities among sites, but the method was sensitive enough to detect some differences among sites. Analysis of the number of bands, the number of unique site-specific bands, and similarity in banding patterns provided a relatively complete representation of differences among sites.
In some cases, bands detected were less well defined than other bands and appeared fuzzy on the gel images and as broad peaks on the gel profile graphs. Selection of PCR primers that amplify a smaller DNA fragment and use of a GC clamp is recommended to correct this problem.
DGGE analysis of PCR products demonstrated that in many ways bacterial assemblages differed among sites. In general, more total and more unique bands were detected at the polluted sites. Other methods used to examine the bacterial assemblages at these same sites also revealed site-specific differences.5
Interpretation of DGGE results should be performed with the knowledge
that DGGE provides a relative measure of species diversity. As was the
case in this study, DGGE was intimately dependent on the efficiency of
the DNA extraction procedure and on an unbiased high fidelity PCR. To
more accurately understand the roles of bacterial populations to natural
environments, it is necessary to be able to measure the microbial community

Bottled water is in hot water, and marketers of alternatives are trying to seize the opportunity.
Some of the same health-conscious consumers who helped make bottled water a $15 billion business now are among those worried about its environmental impact — its 38 million plastic bottles a year made with 1.5 million barrels of oil.
Questions also have been raised about the need for a relatively costly convenience product that in many cases is purified municipal tap water. Top-selling Aquafina recently was the latest brand to put that origin on its label, after prodding by consumer group Corporate Accountability. The PepsiCo PEP brand saw a sales dip from the negative publicity and has replaced scheduled ads for the next few weeks with one about its seven-step purification process.
"It's a tough time to be in bottled water," says Joseph Doss, CEO of the International Bottled Water Association. "We're facing a great deal of controversy."
Even some city governments are joining: Last month, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom banned city buying of bottled water for its facilities. Last week, a Chicago councilman proposed a 10- to 25-cent tax on bottled water to help pay for a $40 million water and sewer fund deficit — partly due to less tap water consumption.
Bottled water rivals are pumping up tap-based alternatives:
•Water filters. Brita, which makes pitchers with built-in filters, last week launched www.FilterForGood.com. It promotes using a Brita pitcher at home and offers a $10 refillable bottle by Nalgene for water on the go (with a portion of the proceeds going to global safe water group Blue Planet Run Foundation).
Visitors also are asked to register and make an online pledge to reduce their "impact on the planet" by giving up bottled water for a week, a month or a year. "This is something that's very top of mind with consumers, and we figured it was the right time to do it," says Hank Mercier, Brita's associate marketing manager.
Procter & Gamble PG is promoting its Pur faucet-mounted water filters with samples and fact sheets that spell out benefits for those who pull the plug on bottled water. Pur marketing executive Tom O'Brien says one filter can fill the equivalent of 3,200, 16-ounce water bottles and save users $600 to $1,000 a year. "We're saying it's healthier for your family, healthier for your family's wallet and healthier for the environment."
•Stylish refillables. New designs out last week from SIGG, a Swiss maker of 140 designs of aluminum drinking bottles, carry slogans such as: "Make love not landfill" and "Friends don't let friends drink from plastic." Its $15-to-$20 bottles sell at retailers such as Whole Foods WFMI and L.L. Bean.
They "are an accessory like your cellphone or your iPod," U.S. President Steve Wasik says.
Bottled-water marketers are pushing back by promoting its convenience and health merits.
They also are trying to address environmental criticism. The IBWA ran newspaper ads recently that included promotion of industry efforts to reduce packaging. Brands such as Aquafina, Coca-Cola's KO Dasani's and Nestlé's Poland Spring, Ozarka and Arrowhead have cut plastic use by 30% with thinner bottles. Ozarka ads promote the "eco" bottles with a tree hugging a man, a play on "tree hugger."
"We are doing what we can to make sure our environmental critics understand our positive environmental track record," says Jane Lazgin, Nestlé spokeswoman.

Joesph Gordon-Levitt kinda came back on my babe radar last year after (500) Days of Summer came out. I hated that movie, but it reminded me that JGL is for sure cute and has been at least since 10 Things I Hate About You. Maybe on 3rd Rock, too, but that feels like so long ago. Anyway, I'm just posting the photos of him from this month's Details for those purposes. Because he looks hot. There's some artistic value to them, but I'm not even going to play like I think anyone here cares about that.

He recalled his preacher-father forced him to take odd jobs to help the family. So Linkletter left and became a hobo, hopping trains across the West, working where he could.
