It's the 50th anniversary Roald Dahl's delicious classic "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." To commemorate this event, an unpublished chapter of Roald Dahl's story, "The Vanilla Fudge Room," can be read at The Guardian. The chapter was published online Aug. 29. Readers might be wondering why this chapter didn't make it to the book in the first place. The reason being it was: "deemed too wild, subversive and insufficiently moral." Hence, it was edited out of the book.
"The Vanilla Fudge Room," was originally chapter five in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." It wasn't in the final draft of the book, which was published in the U.S. in 1964, the Guardian reported. The chapter in question will surprise fans of Dahl's work. Charlie Bucket still finds the famous Golden Ticket. He gets to visit the famous chocolate factory, however he takes his mother with him instead of his grandfather. Initially the number of children who entered the factory was 15. This was later changed to five children. "The Vanilla Fudge Room" chapter speaks of nine children being present. In the chapter, Augustus Gloop is known as Augustus Pottle.
"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" evolved when Dahl was in the writing process due to the death of the author's 7-year-old daughter Olivia. Dahl also almost lost his 4-month-old son Theo, the Guardian reported.
Roald Dahl Nominee Ltd., has released other versions of the story referencing the character Mirana Mary Piker, who was transformed into peanut brittle. The book's sequel, "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator," was printed in 1972.
The book, which tells the tale of Charlie Bucket's adventures when he visits Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, has sold millions. It's inspired many film versions as well as a West End musical.
You can read the unpublished chapter from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" at The Guardian.

I have a Macbook Pro 15" 2011 2.2 i7. Was running like a dream until I tried to add a second drive with an optibay. To cut a long story short a puff of smoke came out of the airport card. After the initial shock I rebooted to find no airport and the machine was running super hot when plugged in running off the mains. My dilemma is the machine works perfectly but is a potential fire hazard. As I soon as I plug into the mains the temps hit 70 quite quickly, too hot to touch underneath. When switched off it comes on by itself when plugged in also. So it has become a big silver coaster. Apple say they will replace the logic board and airport for £465 (which is actually not a bad price) but could it be something simpler. Any help would be appreciated. My household insurance will not cover 'mechanical' parts. If I had spilled coffee, dropped it or was stolen I would be fine. Any help would be much appreciated. I have Applecare also which makes it worse.
Since you've paid for AppleCare - send it in. It doesn't make sense you would be charged for a repair unless there was some sort of external damage, so perhaps you misunderstand the quote.
Perhaps the pricing was for an estimate if the fault was not covered so you could be prepared in case that were the case.
Call back and ask to have your situation cleared up or drop by a store with if one with a Genius Bar is convenient. I would remove the third party RAM and accessories (as Apple will ask you and inspect for before beginning service) before presenting your Mac for service. Inform them you have had a second drive in the optibay and offer to let them have / evaluate the part if desired to ensure it didn't cause the malfunction.
Here are the North American terms of service - and you can see that Apple may charge you a diagnostic fee if you send them a Mac and the failure is due to third party parts being the cause.

Consolidation Tool Release Info
By allanp on May 07, 2006
CoolThreads Consolidation: The Easy WaySolaris 10 and a CoolThreads server make a potent combination. Along with the raw horsepower, the low wattage, and the miserly rack requirements of the CoolThreads server, you get the robust, feature-rich, open source Solaris 10 operating system.
So far so good, but if you're new to Solaris 10 there's a lot to learn. Solaris Containers and Resource Management make a big difference for consolidation, but they take some getting used to. And then you need to figure out the implications of having four threads per core, for example, when configuring the Sun Fire T1000 or T2000. Is there a way of easing the transition for sysadmins who already have too much to think about?
Enter the Consolidation Tool for Sun Fire Servers V1.0, Sun Fire T1000 and T2000 Edition! This GUI tool is designed to simplify the task of consolidating applications onto CoolThreads servers. It also provides a friendly introduction to Solaris Containers, including Zones, resource pools, psets, and the FSS (FairShare) scheduling class.
Consolidation Tool IntroductionThe Consolidation Tool is free (it's open source under the GPL), unsupported, and light-weight, and focused on Solaris 10 and the Sun Fire T1000/T2000. It's ideal for the systems administrator who is considering migrating applications from multiple Xeon boxes running Linux to a T2000 running Solaris 10. The tool can also be used to offer the technically-minded sysadmin a simple introduction to the command line syntax needed to build zones/pools/psets (via the commands script it creates). Note that the Consolidation Tool expects to work with a new Solaris installation - it does not attempt to manage systems that are already using containers.
Consolidation Tool OverviewThe tool provides a simple, easy-to-use interface with context sensitive help. The user can choose between a Basic and an Expert mode, with the latter providing more control over the final configuration at the cost of greater complexity. Intelligent defaults are provided in both modes. The tool eases the user into defining and creating Solaris Containers without assuming any previous knowledge of that technology. It will deploy applications into processor sets where appropriate, and allocate "CPUs" (i.e. hardware threads) in a way that ensures all of a core's threads end up in the same processor set. The tool asks a series of user-friendly questions to determine whether to use full-root Zones, sparse Zones, or no Zones at all. The tool also optionally installs versions of key public domain software into the newly-established Zones on the target CoolThreads system.
The tool prepares a report summarizing the planned deployment, a commands script that is used to create the Zones, pools, and psets and install any specified public domain applications, and a file that stores the configuration data. This approach means that it isn't necessary to run the tool on the target CoolThreads system. Instead you can configure the consolidation environment in advance on a client of your choice. The final step is to run the commands script on the target Sun Fire T1000/T2000 system. Note that if you have elected within the tool to install public domain applications, you will need to put the full distribution onto the target system so that the script can find the public domain applications when you run it.
The tool can be run on any of the following client operating systems:
- Solaris on SPARC
- Solaris on x64/x86
- Linux on Intel/AMD
- MacOS X on PowerPC
Where Can I Get It?You can find the tool on BigAdmin and also under Cool Tools at OpenSPARC.net. Both locations will let you download a presentation introducing the tool, and point you to the tool download location at the Sun Download Center. Download options include:
- A 20MB tar.gz file, which provides the tool plus the necessary libraries for all clients, but none of the public domain packages
- A 130MB tar.gz file with the full distribution, which includes the tool, its dependent libraries, and several public domain applications.
- The tool's BigAdmin page
- The tool's OpenSPARC.net page (it is one of the Cool Tools hosted there)
Feedback and DiscussionIf you'd like to offer feedback on the Consolidation Tool, you can do so at email@example.com. This is an auto-responder alias, so don't expect a reply (other than confirmation that your email has been received). If you would like to discuss the tool with other users, check out the Cool Tools Forum.
Thanks, Allan

Dana Gray
April 4, 2012
GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina did not drop a set in all six singles matches and used a pair of decisive doubles wins to earn a 7-0 non-conference triumph over Mount Olive late Tuesday night at the ECU Tennis Complex.
The victory, which followed a five-hour marathon match that resulted in a 4-3 setback to the University of Richmond earlier in the day, improved the Lady Pirates' record to 8-12. The Trojans suffered only their fourth loss of the year in 19 outings.
ECU opened play by capturing the doubles point, using 8-3 and 8-4 decisions at the No. 1 and No. 2 slots. Dana Gray and Neena Wanko defeated Molly Lentini and Pietra Viana, while Renata Bakieva and Abby Richmond downed Marine Becker and Patricia Guedes before Mount Olive halted the sweep with an 8-5 win at No. 3.
The Lady Pirates turned in a dominating performance in the singles competition, posting straight-set triumphs in all six matchups. Junior Yilian Zhang sparked East Carolina's run from the outset, cruising past Lentini 6-1, 6-0 in a No. 2 meeting.
In other action, Natalie Collins bounced back from a disappointing three-set loss against the Spiders by besting Becker 6-3, 6-0 at No. 1, Danielle Terpko won her third-straight match by handling Francesca Ceppi 6-3, 6-1 at No. 3, Richmond rolled to a 6-1, 6-3 win over Viana at No. 4, Gray dispatched Samara Paldinho 6-1, 6-1 at No. 5 and Karling Watson earned her second career victory in as many opportunities by a 6-3, 6-2 count at No. 6
East Carolina will return to action Friday when it travels to South Carolina State for a 10:00 a.m. match in Orangeburg.

Minnesota Vikings Cut Chris Kluwe
In a move that's been anticipated ever since the team drafted a punter last week, the Minnesota Vikings have cut punter and outspoken LGBT rights supporter Chris Kluwe.
Kluwe announced the news this morning on Twitter:
While the Vikings aren't likely to say as much, word on the street is that the decision to drop Kluwe is at least partially due to his outspoken support for and advocacy on behalf of marriage equality. The Star Tribune's Chip Scoggins writes:
Regardless of whether they admit it, the Vikings are jettisoning Kluwe partly because they grew tired of his outspokenness. It's naive to think the move is based solely on his age (31), salary ($1.45 million) or how he performed last season (inconsistently). Kluwe has become the most visible punter in NFL history because of his social activism. The Vikings deny that Kluwe's public stance on issues factored into their decision — not that they would ever admit it — but they likely prefer someone who embraces the anonymous life of an NFL punter.
However, Kluwe told Scoggins that he has no regrets and refuses to keep quiet in the face of injustice just to secure a job:
This is me. I pay attention to what goes on in the world, and I like to speak up when I see something…
I think the sacrifice [of a job loss] would be worth it. Now, I would hope that I would get the chance to play football again, because I think I can still play. But if it ends up being something that costs me that position, I think making people aware of an issue that is causing children to commit suicide is more important than kicking a leather ball. . .
No single thing that I do defines me as a person. Just because I play football, that doesn't define me as a person.
Perhaps sensing that the cut was imminent, Kluwe reportedly remarked to NBC Sports reporter Mike Florio via text message that he believed the Vikings would release him because they found his activism a "distraction":
It's a shame that in a league with players given multiple second chances after arrests, including felony arrests, that speaking out on human rights has a chance of getting you cut.
Florio called shenanigans on the whole "distractions" thing:
Of course, the distractions weren't a problem when Kluwe was staying up very late playing Guitar Hero and Worlds of Warcraft, or staying out very late on Friday night doing shows with his band. After Kluwe opted to get behind a controversial social cause while also getting to bed at a decent hour, the team opted to acquire a player who, given that he was selected in round five, will likely have the field tilted in his favor when it comes to determining whether he or Kluwe gets [the job].
Kluwe's pink slip comes one month after fellow athlete ally Brendon Ayanbadejo was cut by the Baltimore Ravens. Ayanbadejo initially suggested that his equality advocacy may have played a role in the team's decision to release him, but quickly retracted those remarks, saying it was due to his age and not his inclusive views.
Call me skeptical, but I'm having a hard time believing that Ayanbadejo's outspoken support for marriage equality and LGBT rights didn't factor into the Ravens's decision to let him go, especially in light of Kluwe's release today. I'm also saddened — not for Kluwe, a brilliant guy who will easily recover from this momentary setback — but for closeted NFL players, particularly the handful who are reportedly considering coming out.
Think about it: if coming out as an ally and publicly supporting equality is considered a "distraction," how will an NFL team react to the avalanche of media attention, accolades, hate mail, death threats, etc. when an active player actually comes out as gay? Would the spotlight that will inevitably accompany such a history-making, courageous gesture also qualify as a "distraction?" And could such "distractions" potentially cost the NFL's first active, openly gay player his job?

888-735-3448, ext. 251
Washington, DC. – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, has invited tens of thousands of Churches across America this week to build "the largest prayer group in history" by urging them to promote membership in the "Pray to End Abortion" cause on Facebook.
The cause can be accessed at www.ProLifePrayers.org.
Fr. Pavone said that the Facebook cause will enable believers to connect with one another and pray on an ongoing basis for the specific needs of the pro-life movement. The ongoing prayer campaign will provide specific prayers to be said jointly across the nation for specific needs.
Currently, a special prayer is posted regarding our nation's health care reform debate. Calling Jesus the "Divine Physician," the prayer intercedes for elected officials, that they will have "the humility to know that they are servants, not masters," and "the wisdom to realize that every life has equal value."
The prayer concludes, "Let every reform in our public policy be based on the reform of our hearts and minds."

College Hockey:Minnesota's Bjugstad sidelined by mono
Minnesota freshman forward Nick Bjugstad is expected to miss two weeks with mononucleosis, the school announced Sunday.
The diagnosis was made Saturday, the off day between games of a WCHA series against St. Cloud State.
Bjugstad had played in the first five games of the season, including Friday's series opener. He had one assist.
A first-round pick of the Florida Panthers in the 2010 NHL entry draft (No. 19 overall), Bjugstad received votes as the preseason WCHA rookie of the year from both the media and coaches.
It isn't the first time in recent memory that mono has hit the Golden Gophers. Mike Hoeffel missed four games of his junior season last year because of the viral infection.

Macondo's Latest Drink Experiment
Waiter, there's something vegetal in my drink.
The frozen-avocado cocktail at Macondo was a critic's pick in our recent "Where to Drink" guide, and now mixologist Amaury Robayo has a summer special that's as good as it is experimental: Pisco Ocucaje, kiwi, chopped celery, and absinthe topped with a creamy melon-rum foam that seeps into the icy liquid. At $9, the special is a couple dollars more than house cocktails, but with all the crudités in there, it's like an app and a drink in one.

Temp Workers Account For Almost 20% of April's 165K Job Growth
Temp staffing had its strongest month in two years, adding 30,800 new jobs in April. That accounted for almost one-in-five of the new jobs added to the U.S. economy last month.
The U.S. Department of Labor this morning said that on a seasonally-adjusted basis, 165,000 new non-farm jobs were created last month. The unemployment rate also declined slightly to 7.5%, even as the size of the workforce ticked up slightly. (It is still lower than at any time in more than three decades.)
The government also adjusted up its initial numbers for both February and March, increasing the new job estimates by a combined 114,000. With the revisions, job growth in the first quarter totaled 618,000. That's just slightly behind the 208,000 monthly average during all of last year.
The April job growth was better than analysts were expecting. Before the release in Washington, surveys of economists showed them expecting job growth to be in a range between about 125,000 and 155,000.

Temp employment in just the last two months has jumped by 56,300 jobs, according to the revised Labor Department numbers. Non-seasonally adjusted counts are even higher; 119,800 temp jobs were added in March and April.
In addition to the temp sector, April's job growth came in several other areas:
- Hospitality jobs took a big jump, adding 43,000 overall, with 37,900 of them at restaurants and bars;
- Retail added 29,300 jobs, nearly half at general merchandise stores. Department stores added 7,900 new workers;
- Health care jobs grew by 19,000;
- Professional and Technical Services added 22,800 jobs. The category includes legal, accounting, computer professionals, architectural jobs, and management and consulting services.
Government and the goods-producing sector were the soft spots. Government at all levels lost 11,000 jobs; 8,000 came from the federal workforce. Construction was down 6,000 jobs and manufacturing was flat.
While the official unemployment rate declined during April, and is now .4 points lower than it was in January, by another measure, the so-called U-6 report, rose slightly to 13.9%. This report not only counts those who meet the official definition of unemployed, but also includes those working part-time because they can't find other work, and those out of a job and looking for work, but who didn't look during the April survey period.
Overall, those 13.9% translate into 21.9 million workers.
One other component of the government report economists watch as a sign of future employment development is the length of the average workweek. According to the report, it decreased by 0.2 hour to 34.4 hours. Within manufacturing, the workweek decreased by 0.1 hour to 40.7 hours, and overtime declined by 0.1 hour to 3.3 hours. The average workweek for production and nonsupervisory employees on private nonfarm payrolls decreased by 0.1 hour to 33.7 hours.

New Government Jobs Proposal
In January, the federal government unveiled a proposal to establish a $33 billion package of tax credits that would serve to encourage small businesses to hire more workers and increase wages. The proposal is part of a larger effort to spark a rosier trend in current unemployment rates throughout the country.
Under this proposed plan, businesses would receive a $5,000 tax credit for every additional new employee that they employ in 2010. The total amount of credit would be capped at $500,000 per business to prevent larger businesses from being eligible. Additionally, the proposal also calls for reimbursement in Social Security payroll taxes (up to the Social Security taxable maximum) to small businesses that they would otherwise pay on increases in payroll.
Should this plan be set in motion, your small business faces a decision: To hire or not to hire?
The answer might actually come in the form of another question: Do you need to?
While the proposed tax credit sounds appealing, if your small business is comfortably meeting demand or the current work load of employees is manageable, your business might not stand to benefit from the push to hire more workers. Don't fix something that isn't broken. Instead, consider focusing on maintaining and growing your customer base.
However, if you were considering hiring this year, this could be your incentive to seriously think about doing so. Or, if you see your small business growing in the near future, now may be the time to take things to the next level.read more

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -
For the second time this season, Alabama senior Geralen Stack-Eaton is the Southeastern Conference Gymnast of the Week the league office announced Tuesday.
The Horsham, Pa., native earned the honor after leading the Crimson Tide to a 197-175-195.375 win over future SEC school Missouri last Friday. Stack-Eaton won four individual titles, including the all-around with a season-best score of 39.550. She also won the balance beam with a season-best 9.925 as well as taking first place on the uneven bars with a 9.9, tying her season best, and the floor exercise with a 9.9.
"Geralen had her best performance of the season against Missouri," UA head coach Sarah Patterson said. "She has gotten better and better as the season has progressed and she is peaking at the right time as we prepare for the championship season."
Stack-Eaton also earned SEC Gymnast of the Week honors after opening her senior season with her first career 10.0 on the vault against Georgia. She has now earned the honor four times in her career after earning it twice this season and once each during her sophomore and junior years.
Stack-Eaton and her Tide teammates close out their regular-season run at home on Friday, March 16 at 7:30 p.m. against North Carolina. Tickets are available through the Alabama Ticket Office (205.348.2262) located in the lobby of Coleman Coliseum, or online at RollTide.com.

Now before all the Rugeronions, Coltonions, and Smith & Wessononions get all up in arms, a little homework and history is in order. Granted, Bersa, is not presently one of the big three firearms in the United States, but take notice to this name. Remember, neither was Toyota a few years ago and we all know where that has gone. Made in Argentina, this particular model comes in 9 mm, .40, and .45 caliber options. Standard issue for the Argentine military, the Bersa has a proven track record for reliability and is starting to be hard to find on the shelves here in the good old United States.
There were four considerations made before the purchase of this pistol:
- The wife had to be able to handle the pistol.
- Safeties had to have a clear on/off indication and be able to be seen easily.
- The pistol had to be fully ambidextrous. We shoot with different hands.
- Reliable and easy to clean.
Starting on the left back corner of the rail is the first of 4 safeties, next is the slide release, and last is the disassembling latch. Below the disassembling latch is the internal locking system. This is basically a trigger lock built into the pistol. Operated by a key, which is provided, all that is required is to turn the lock to safe and the pistol is disabled. On the back side of the trigger guard is the clip release which can put on either side for left or right hand shooters.
Along the top are the rear sights which are dove tailed into the slide, the loaded chamber indicator, and the front blade sight. Sights are three dot for easy target acquisition. Now, the loaded chamber indicator, is a pretty neat little deal. Used for both visual and touch, all it is is a blade that sits higher than the slide if the chamber is loaded.
Going down the right side of the pistol are the safety and the slide release. Other features include a standard MIL 1913 Picatinny rail for accessories. Checkered hammer and trigger guard. Three finish options. Matte, nickel, and duotone.
The reason 4 stars instead of 5 is the owners manual. Specifically the figures in the owners manual. Black and white and not that easy to see whats going on. Otherwise everything is top shelf. Luckily youtube has a couple good videos which show the operation of the pistol along with the reliability. www.youtube.com/watch?v=geGRoXmI4lY is a good video detailing the operation of the gun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6HBmT0Q3iM is a good firing sequence of about 10 shots.
Bersa, not yet in the top three. But, a name that will have to be reckoned with.

If you want to try a completely new dining experience, make a reservation at DC's Hush Supper Club, an underground restaurant held in the home of a woman who will only be known as "Geeta." Dining at Geeta's home entails a vegetarian Indian feast as well as evening of storytelling, culinary education, and delightful company. Once you make a reservation you will be provided with her address and password, and after that your culinary adventure will begin.
Upon entrance, you will meet your dining partners, of which there can be a maximum of 12. The experience starts with an Indian-inspired cocktail, followed by an interesting and engaging introduction of India, Indian history, and Indian cuisine by your host Geeta. She will give you a chance to view and admire her spice dabba, a beautiful silver box with little compartments that are filled with different essential Indian spices. The spices serve as a preview of the delicious flavors that you will experience during your dinner.
Your meal opens with a serving of chaat, classic North Indian street food. A base of crispy fried crackers is topped with potatoes, yogurt, onions, coriander, chickpeas, different chutneys, and various spices. Geeta has created her own street food cart so you can make your own chaat and put as many or as few of the toppings in your bowl.
This appetizer is followed by a plethora of courses which include other Indian snacks, such as savory vegetable fritters, a curry soup, lentils, spicy potatoes, other vegetable dishes, flavored, rice, Indian breads, a sweet dish, and authentic Indian chai. The food, while maybe not the best Indian food available in town, is quite good, and certainly in abundance.
The meal is $95 and BYOB, and will last at least 5 hours, so it is better not to make any other plans that evening!

Leyton Orient boss Slade reacts to jailing of defender Omozusi
16:41 22 November 2011
The boss of a London football club has spoken out after one of his players was jailed and labelled a 'gang member' by police.
Leyton Orient defender Elliot Omozusi was locked up for two and a half years for witness revenge, at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Friday.
He was part of a gang who chased a man through Liverpool for helping to jail a gang over the murder of 16-year old girl Agnes Sina-Inakoju in Dalston, last year.
Twenty-two-year-old Omozusi played 50 times in League One for Orient, since signing from Premier League Fulham, in 2010.
But this week, his professional career as a footballer laid in tatters.
"I'm really disappointed to be honest," O's manager Russell Slade told London24.com.
"It's not good news for the football club or the boy. That's all I really want to say on it at the minute.
"He was a key player for us last season, it's upsetting all round.
"In terms of the rest of the players, the group are disappointed and upset with it as well, because he was one of us and I like to think that we breed ourselves on team spirit and togetherness and all those qualities that go into making a football club successful.
"But we have lost him now and we are going to have to move on."

I listen every day and have been brought to tears almost every day recently as I have heard Carmen speak of the backpack program, what it means to her and why it is important. I directly relate! I live in Troup County, Georgia, in LaGrange and came across a woman in my first Bible Study about 2 years ago that was trying to start the program here in Troup County. My faith was so very new at the time and my former self did nothing for no one. I hear her talk about this and I realized in that moment what it means to be called by the Lord to do his work. I have been volunteering for close to two years now with Good Sam Ministry and am more vested as time goes on. I think this program missed the sign up to be included in what the JOY is doing for it this week in collecting food, so I ask for prayers, abundant prayers for our County's program this year! We have serious poverty and the need is great and we are only limited by our resources. God has shown up in this effort so very much and I KNOW He will continue to give us what we need to do His work. I want to cover it is praise for the impact He has allowed us to have thus far and prayer for the awesomeness that will inevitably come. I would also like to add to that, that we just aren't able to feed these children, but that they and their families know why we do it, and where it comes from...not our hands but HIS! I pray in some way, these children and families will find Christ in each of those food bags. Thank you!

The Mahoning County Coroner's office has determined that John J. Tomlin Jr., 21, of Niles, who was killed in an accident at Extrudex Aluminum on Tuesday, died of "mechanical asphyxiation."
An autopsy found that Tomlin was crushed after a metal rack he was working with several others to move at the company's Mahoning Avenue facility was dislodged from its guiding wheels and fell.
At the time, the rack was stocked with aluminum sheets, which also fell on Tomlin. Extrudex specializes in manufacturing extrusions for commercial, marine and industrial applications.
Tomlin's co-worker, Dallas Bright, 19, of Cortland, was also severely injured and is being treated for second- and third-degree burns at a local hospital.
The death has been ruled accidental, but an investigation is ongoing.
Accidental ?? This is negligence. This safety issue ws reported to the Safety Supervisor on dozens of occasions. I hope his family seeks and receives compensation. I hope the safety director loses his job. An accident is when something unforseen happens......this tragedy was just waiting to happen.

Lookingglass Theatre Company will present Trust, written by Founding Ensemble Member David Schwimmer and Andy Bellin, based on the screenplay by Andy Bellin and Rob Festinger and directed by Ensemble Members David Schwimmer and Heidi Stillman. The production runs from March 3 - April 25 at Lookingglass Theatre Company, located inside Chicago's historic Water Tower Water Works, 821 N. Michigan Ave. at Pearson.
Ensemble Members David Schwimmer and Heidi Stillman direct the World Premiere of his new script about a seemingly innocent online encounter that threatens to unravel the fabric of an American family. Using state of the art technology, Trust will be a cutting-edge theatrical experience, combining projection, video, photos, texting and live chat.
As the internet increasingly becomes the hunting ground for sexual predators, Trust will serve to not only raise awareness but move and empower audiences to take action in their community and within their own families. The Trust Community Consortium has been formed to facilitate this action. Post-show discussions will take place after every performance to incite dialogue about these issues, and a trained volunteer will be present in the lobby before during and after each show. Rape Victim Advocates is the lead community partner in this initiative.
The play was brought to Lookingglass by David Schwimmer, who is a current board member of The Rape Foundation of Santa Monica and an active supporter of the Rape Treatment Center in Los Angeles for more than ten years.
"Lookinnglass is thrilled to be producing this original production. It is the issues in Trust that inspired David Schwimmer to create and direct this production and the company to produce it. Our hope is to create an exciting and important piece of theatre and that the play, film and our community partnerships will bring maximum attention to this important matter," says Artistic Director David Catlin.
David Schwimmer just finished directing the film version of Trust in Michigan for Millennium Films Projects. The film features Clive Owen and Catherine Keener as the parents of a 14-year old daughter, who is victimized in an online chat room. Lookingglass cast members Spencer Curnutt, Zanny Laird, Zoe Levin will also appear in the film.
The cast of the play includes Lookingglass Ensemble Members Christine Mary Dunford, Raymond Fox and Philip R. Smith with Amy J. Carle, Spencer Curnutt, Keith Kupferer, Zanny Laird, Zoe Levin, Marianna Oharenko, Morocco Omari, and Allison Torem.
The design team includes Ensemble Member Dan Ostling (Set); Ensemble Member Mara Blumenfeld (Costume Design); Artistic Associate Christine Binder (Lighting); Artistic Associate Rick Sims and Michael Griggs (Sound Design); and William Anderson (Properties). The Multimedia Design is by Bridges Media. The design is dominated by projections with video, texting and live chatting. Much of this play's themes circle around this landscape and how, because of its pervasive quality, this new technology threatens the very fabric of our lives.

The award-winning title in 2009 is Basketball: The Don Meyer Way featuring the all-time winningest men's basketball coach in NCAA history, Don Meyer. Meyer, the head coach at Northern State University (SD) , has twice been the NAIA National Coach of the Year and is in the NAIA Hall of Fame.
The Telly Awards honor outstanding local, regional and cable television commercials and programs, as well as the finest video and film productions. The Championship Productions' basketball DVD was among 13,000 entries that covered all 50 states and five continents.
Basketball: The Don Meyer Way received a "bronze" award (The Telly Awards' second-highest honor). The bronze award scores from 7.0 to 8.9 on a 10-point scale; 18-25% of entrants receive a bronze.
Dustin McDonough, Championship Productions' Video Production Director, said: "Winning this award, again, for the fourth time in just four years, confirms that our attention to detail, and quality, is both recognizable and noteworthy … this award is a great reinforcement to Coach Meyer and to the video production and editing team that putting your best effort forward makes a difference in perception and delivery."
The Telly Awards were founded in 1978 by David E. Carter, a past Emmy® and Clio® winner, to honor excellence in local, regional and cable TV commercials. Today, the Telly is one of the most sought-after awards by industry leaders, from large international firms to local production companies and ad agencies. Judges evaluate entries to recognize distinction in creative work – and the entries are judged against a high standard of merit. Past winners, in addition to Championship Productions, have included producers for HBO, A&E, The Discovery Channel, Sony Pictures, and TBS.
Ames-based Championship Productions, founded in 1976 by Bill Bergan, is the world's No. 1 producer and distributor of sports instructional DVDs. Championship Productions produces instructional DVDs, commercials, and has a DVD duplication service.
