Earth Hour
9th - 11th May - 20.00 Book
Earth Hour is the biggest show worldwide, unmissable since the government declared 10 years till climate change damage is irreparable. Sasha, there since the beginning, wants to keep the show light and entertaining while new employee Dominic wants to deliver hard facts! Their differing approaches lead to tension. As clocks tick away, counting down to each broadcast and to environmental disaster, each party struggles to present their viewpoint while the planet falls to pieces.
Time is running out and neither of them are ready.
Earth Hour was shortlisted for the 2019 Les Enfants Terribles Award for emerging theatre, and was 1 of only 10 productions nominated. An extract from the show was featured at the Les Enfants Terribles Award showcase at Pleasance Theatre in London in March.

"Open since 1422, this curious little shop on Town Hall Square is in fact the oldest continuously running pharmacy in Europe. Ten generations of the same family, the Burcharts, operated it from1581 to 1911. It was so famous in its day that the Russian tsar used to order medicines from here. Remedies sold at the pharmacy in medieval times included snakeskin potion, mummy juice and powdered unicorn horn (for male potency). But this was also a place to buy everyday items like jam, tea, claret, gunpowder and, most importantly, marzipan. Marzipan was one of the pharmacy's best sellers, one that local legend insists was actually invented as a curative here in the 15th century. The historic site still operates as a pharmacy today, selling modern products, but its side room houses an interesting display of 17th- to 20th-century medicinal bric-a-brac."

"Estonian cuisine and one of the most magical dinner experience of my life. Ö originates from Swedish and means an island. Ö is also a very important letter in the Estonian alphabet. On the island, where we're from, people talk a little different than the rest of Estonia and the letter Ö is used a lot more. Ö is just such a beautiful letter that it must be heard! The island we speak of, is of course Saaremaa, Estonia's biggest island. So big, in fact, that they call it a land, as the literal translation of Saaremaa is Island land. The stars in our sky are the same as everywhere else, but they shine a little brighter above Saaremaa. These stars once lit the way for our Viking ancestors on their expeditions. On our expeditions for new flavours, we have found the most fascinating and delicious ingredients. We get our inspiration from the Nordic nature. Unpredictable seasons. The cold and grey Baltic Sea. Dark forests and their magical gifts. Farmers and small businesses. Hunters and fishermen. Clean air and black soil. Forgotten preservation and preparation methods. We always add a bit of island humour to our dishes. We have the coolest team on the planet! We believe in what we do and we love it! All this bound together under the light of the brightest stars is Ö."

Since Coop was not satisfied with the Coca-Cola prices, retailers launched their car. The first balance is positive.
Coca-Cola reduced bottles to 0.45 liters, but not lower. This made a Coop pEN (BLICK reported). Basler created with an American giant drink and looks for a local alternative to coke. Happy Cola is on the shelf since April.
It seems that the Helvet shower was well received by the consumer. "We've already drove Coca-Cola with our Happy Cola a third of half a liter of bottles," says Coop Urs Meier. It's sensational. Happy Cola is full! »
«Swiss Success Story»
A small bottle of Coca-Cola will continue to be within range, it is still very popular. You're running a Coca-Cola negotiating discount? "We are in constant contact with our suppliers, including Coca-Cola," Meier says.
Happy Cola will not disappear from the shelves if it can agree with US multinational low-price drink companies. "Happy Cola is a Swiss success story," Meier says. He thinks that "it is not excluded" that one day Fanta and Sprite will be supplemented with the original variant. "We are constantly testing alternatives from Switzerland."
Other traders rely on private brands
Happy Cola is charged with the Swiss Holderhof drink producer in Henau SG. A half liter bottle is available in Coop for CHF 1.20. Collected original Cola-Fläschli (0.45 liters) costs 1.35 francs.
Coop is not the only one in its strategy to compete with more expensive products of its own brand. For example, Migros sells M-budget chips together with more expensive ones. In Valor's kiosks, OK Energy Drink is one of the best-selling products – although the original on Red Bull is also on the shelves.

Paint Projects: InspirationMay 16, 2011 | FILED UNDER: Uncategorized
I saw this eye-catching paint treatment to a banister in Martha Stewart Living and ripped it out for my "dream home projects" folder. It wouldn't well work on our current banister – the lighting is too dim and I think you need a bright entryway like this one to pull it off. Perhaps some of you have the perfect entrance way to try this out in!
Even though a lot of colors are used to get this ombre effect, the project can be pretty cheap if you buy the small paint samples for about $3 a piece. This example used 8 different colors (each color used on two adjacent rungs) – so it was less than $25 to change up the whole look of the entryway. Pretty cool if you ask me!

The PETRONAS TOWER
Also known as the Petronas Twin Towers. They were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004 and remain the tallest Twin towers in the world to date. The buildings are a landmark of Kuala Lumpur, along with nearby Kuala Lumpur Tower.

The temple in the cave comprises of statues of Hindu Gods, with interior said to be four hundred years old. But it is still as beautiful as it was back then!
What comes in the mind with the name of Batu Caves is the 272 rainbow-colored steps which seem so striking to the eye. It is an immense astonishment for the visitors to follow the 272 steps that are the only way to reach the upper cavern, where numerous Hindu shrines reside. Merely, what an excitement!

5 Ways to Simplify Your Life in the New Year
If you want to start 2019 with a clean slate, you need to let go of some of the things holding you back. Simplify your life with these 5 tips.
New year, new you! We're not talking about making major resolutions, though. This is all about reducing your lifestyle to improve the quality of your life.
A busy life can be exhausting in more ways than one. You're already tired from running around. But, busy days also overstimulate our brains reducing our ability to sleep well.
We are so overstimulated. Media, home life, work... where does it end?
Right here, right now. Here's how to simplify your life in 2019.
Simplify Your Life in 2019
Take a moment to plan for a better way of life. You'll gain some clarity and perspective.
You'll also find some appreciation for the things you have and the people you love. Who doesn't want that?
Here's what you need to do.
Yes, the first thing on the list takes a bit of work. But, you'll be glad you did it. Declutter now to benefit for the rest of the year.
Clutter around our home and workspace does something terrible to our brains. It robs us of clear and efficient work patterns. Start by decluttering your spaces.
Declutter the bedroom to relax and sleep better. Remove old food from the pantry to ease the pain of planning meals. Toss old hygiene items for a clean area to get ready for the day.
And clutter is not only in the physical realm. It's in your brain, too.
Turn off the TV to get back peace and quiet time. Reduce social media use to establish personal and emotional boundaries. Save checking email for work time to separate personal and business hours.
Make To-Do Lists
Write down to-do lists to clear out brain space and worry less. Keep a notepad by your bed. You'll sleep better if you write down everything you need to do the next day.
Post your lists in a visible place. You'll be better prepared to face the day!
Just because you 'can' do a task doesn't mean you need to do it yourself. You have lots of different tasks and chores that need to get done to keep your life humming along but why not simplify by delegating those tasks to someone else. Ask a friend for help or better yet hire a home manager service like HeyThrivy to help get all those tasks done and delegate your to-do list.
Make a Smart Schedule
Do you overschedule your time? It's time to stop.
First, learn to say no. It's great to help others, but not at the expense of your sanity. Pick and choose when to help or events to attends based on which ones will be bring the most joy or need your unique skill and your available time.
Next, make a schedule of everything that happens in your house on a weekly basis. Kids school events, birthdays, and gym time all count. Put your schedule up in a visible spot.
Simplify Your Meals
Ditch complicated weeknight meals! Use your crock pot to have meals ready when you get home or put your Instapot to work for meals in a hurry. Cook larger meals on the weekends to make leftovers for the week.
Still struggling with meal prep? Check out a home delivery kit for an easy option or any of the delivery services that will deliver food from the best restaurants in town.
What Are You Waiting For?
Don't wait for the year to get into full swing! Think about your daily routines, your home, and work life. Make a plan to simplify your life, now.
Struggling with home project management? We can help! Contact us, here.

so am I assuming correctly that you have not flown yet? In which case, you really do not know what they will actually do at the airport.

According to the TSA's own words, this enhanced patdown takes 2 to 4 minutes, not 20 seconds. Maybe your friend from TSA was performing one of the regular, past patdowns on you. And no, police patdowns do not include probing the private parts, and squeezing women's breasts. Unless maybe you get some freak pervert cop, which I guess there is a good chance of that happening.

The school bus driver who touched the girl through her clothes was charged with molestation by the prosecution, so I am hardly the one who came up with calling it that on my own.

Why you are so quick to assume that nobody else commenting on this thread has been a victim of rape and/or molestation I do not know.Zsuzsannahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-57734017196549826052010-12-03T11:35:09.212-07:002010-12-03T11:35:09.212-07:00The new pat downs are crazy!

It was a little uncomfortable, but much less uncomfortable then a doctors visit or even what the cops do. I am angry that people are calling this molestation. It is insulting to those of us who have experienced such a crime! It is not invasive. It is an uncomfortable procedure that is over in less than 20 seconds. Do I like it?

I don't a...Never commented on your blog before. I don't agree 100% with a lot of your stances, but I do agree with you on this. I saw on CNN the man who had a urine bag due to being a bladder cancer survivor, and the TSA agent popped it, soaking the poor guy. I heard on the radio about a little 3yr old girl getting the full pat-down because she threw a fit when her teddy bear was taken away to go through the scanner. Through the whole thing she was screaming "Stop touching me!" There was a woman who was forced to show her prosthetic breast to a TSA agent - and she was a flight attendant trying to get to work! There was a six year old boy traumatized by the full pat down, and an 8 year old boy who the dad had taken his shirt off to prove he had nothing underneath it, but still had to go through the full pat down on his lower half. And who can forget the "If you touch my junk I'll have you arrested" guy? He decided he would rather not fly than go though a pat down, after being told they would have to touch him, and was stopped by TSA, threatened with arrest, and a $10,000 fine.
And these are just the ones who've made it in the news. What other things have been done to other people that haven't made it in the news?Elisabethhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-124210425515350092010-11-26T15:31:07.737-07:002010-11-26T15:31:07.737-07:00My husband and I have agreed not to fly again unti...My husband and I have agreed not to fly again until something is done about the pat-downs and scanners.

My mother is disabled and in a wheel chair, she flys down to visit with us about once a year. The last time she came they searched her because they could not send her chair through the scanner they had at the air port. This was before the new finger tip policy but was still out of line. They pushed her into a glass room, and one woman lifted her up by her armpits and held her while the other patted her down! It was horribly degrading and under this new policy it would just be worse.

I will never fly as long as the scans and pat downs are in effect, my body is for my husband only, not the person on the scanner or in the pat down room.

I hadn't even thought of the cancer risks, my father flies many times a year due to his job, often more than once a week. How many of these scans and how much radiation over time are they going to subject him to? It's mind numbing.

Only in this day and age can you get away with molesting children, the disabled, and everyone else in the name of safety.Jenniferhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-48883486122824009432010-11-25T06:33:15.338-07:002010-11-25T06:33:15.338-07:00Did you hear about the man (a bladder cancer survi...Did you hear about the man (a bladder cancer survivor) who was humiliated when his urine bag spilled all over the place because of a TSA patdown?

to be sure, there is terrorism against America, or rather the American people.

However, it is not coming from where our government would have us believe it is coming from. They themselves are the terrorists.

To terrorize someone means to make them scared, or afraid. The US government is the biggest fear monger.

Aside from all else, I am firmly convinced that the 9/11 attacks were a false-flag attack carried out by our own government. They made everyone so scared that we have not only financed a senseless "war" to the tune of trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lost lives, but also come to accept the complete erosion of our civil liberties.

Another agent was also brought into media attention after a reporter went through the full body scan with 2 12 inch razor blades hidden and they let him board the plane! So clearly the new procedures aren't even effective. What concerns me most is the possible cancer causing effects of the x Ray machine. Estimates say that people who fly once a year for 20 years will have a 1 in 500,000 chance of getting cancer specifically from the machine, while people who fly the same amount will have a 1:9 MILLION chance of getting killed by a terrorist. I will try to find sources for that info I can't remember right now. So basically we have to choose between subjecting our babies to cancer or inappropriate touching. What about rape survivors? Wouldn't that be quite triggering for them? Just disgusting. This issue seems to be one that cnservatives and liberals can both agree on don't you think?

Then airlines will complain to the government.

I fully support security measures to prevent terrorists from boarding an airplane. But the truth is the body scanners will not help to prevent determined terrorists. A terrorist could put explosives up his rectum.

It is insane about how they are having so many innocent people go through virtual strip body scanners and invasive pat downs.

I am afraid that people are going to get desensitizied to TSA. As you know, many people are desensitizied that it's okay for doctors to always touch their private parts.

Parents trust doctors too much. The Delaware pediatrician, Dr. Earl Bradley was charged with molesting over 100 children (http://sexualmisconductbydoctors.com/DisplayDoctor.asp?DocID=1).

Children will be really confused now if they have to go through invasive pat downs. Many parents tell their children that if anyone touches their private parts that it's wrong.

Look at an article that a man wrote about why we should resist the new TSA Security Procedures at http://www.edstetzer.com/2010/11/why-you-should-resist-the-new.html.

If they had done deep investigation on the underwear bomber, they would have never allowed him on the airplane in the first place. He had ties to a terrorist school overseas.Mistyhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-8791040780420503152010-11-24T15:03:02.902-07:002010-11-24T15:03:02.902-07:00This new TSA law is sickening .This new TSA law is sickening .Dawnhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-24127424314317604552010-11-24T10:31:36.317-07:002010-11-24T10:31:36.317-07:00Wait - you don't think there is terrorism aga...Wait - you don't think there is terrorism against firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-29373466708125403122010-11-24T10:24:18.548-07:002010-11-24T10:24:18.548-07:00MissionaryMomman, I have family that are missiona...MissionaryMomman,

I have family that are missionaries in Asia. They were due to fly home shortly after the holidays. Now they are not coming to America. And as long as exposing nakedness (AIT scanners) or molestations (enhanced pat-downs) are in place, they will not be coming to America. As Christians, this is not about "giving up our freedoms." This is about not sinning against God by showing our nakedness to other people.

I hope you "pay a few thousand" more for the ship. My family does not have that option. That means that I can never see them or my neeses and nephews.Christian email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-55743339038250031082010-11-24T01:07:48.742-07:002010-11-24T01:07:48.742-07:00My toddler and I had five trips planned for next y...My toddler and I had five trips planned for next year that would have required planes, with my husband accompanying on three. Now two are outright cancelled, one will be by train instead, and the remaining two are too far for train, but might be cancelled anyway.

It's disturbing that these new pat-downs are finger-tip pat-downs, meaning the pads of the fingers must be used, and it's every non-visible inch of the body. Faces won't be touched if they'e visible, but our genitals are fair-game now.

I refuse to have my daughter's naked body viewed by someone in a booth. It's a lie that the images aren't saved. Someone just recently was busted for saving tens of thousands of the images. I refuse to have her touched in appropriately by strangers. This job is a pedophile's dream!

back in July, these new and "enhanced" patdowns were not being used. This is a new procedure the TSA started using very recently, to combat the increasing number of people refusing the "naked body scanners". Most would much rather be scanned, than to be assaulted like that. It's a very new thing.Zsuzsannahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-29530205399822378462010-11-23T15:28:54.526-07:002010-11-23T15:28:54.526-07:00While I think you're being a bit (just a bit) ...While I think you're being a bit (just a bit) extreme, I'm with you. The reaction - from CHRISTIANS, who support everything about this so-called "war on terror," - is that people should quit whining because it's for our own good.

My 13 yr old daughter was subject to a pat-down. It was probably because she was wearing a sweatshirt (a bit too large for her) in July, because she often finds the planes are cold and wearing it is easier than carrying it through the airport. On the way back, I was subject to a pat-down. I don't know why other than I was wearing a long skirt and my athletic shoes, which made me look a little like a "fundamentalist" of some kind in the TSA's mind. Neither agent "groped" us, but it is certainly NOT something anyone would so willingly agree to go through if any other stranger were to say, "I would like to pat you down."

What about that man in Boston whose ostomy bag broke and he ended up having to ride the plane soaked with the urine the bag held? He should not have had to suffer the embarassment and physical discomfort he did. But thank goodness those people on the plane were assured that he wasn't carrying a bomb in his ostomy bag!

I didn't like my daughter being patted down this Summer and I shudder to think about it now.

Understanding what influences behaviour is key to making behaviour change possible. As behaviour change experts, we make it our business to know about the best behaviour models out there, so we can make the biggest impact possible with our campaigns.
In this guide, we focus on the COM-B model, which proposes 'Behaviour' is a result of 'Capability', 'Opportunity' and 'Motivation'. We explore the components to these determinants of behaviour and how this model can be utilised to make long-term behaviour change. In this guide we use the example of inactivity and how the use of the COM-B model could be used to increase active behaviour. Once applied, this model can be used to tackle even the toughest social issues.

Childhood poverty in the UK has been hitting the headlines again. But, this isn't the first time and it is certainly not a new talking point. Childhood poverty is regularly raised by key people and organisations working across the UK. So, why does it keep making headlines?

Project management can feel overwhelming. Especially when you are short on time and resources. So if this is stopping you getting to where you need to be, we can be that much needed team member who can project manage a campaign or change programme from start to finish. We play a variety of roles for our clients from top-level strategic consultancy to programme and campaign roll-out.
Community engagement is all about involving people in your work and giving them a voice. Engagement brings with it community champions, good news stories, rewards. And above all, it extends the interest and life of an idea, campaign or change.
We can help you engage and activate communities in your work. We manage effective and successful community engagement programmes, either as part of larger public sector change programme or as a stand alone project.
As a team of PR and marketing professionals and former journalists with decades of combined experience, we are skilled at storytelling. We also know that journalists receive hundreds of news releases every day. Did you know that 90 percent of them end up straight in the deleted folder? At Social Change UK, we make sure that it's not yours.
Our team has years of experience working with all sectors of the media, from specialised trade publications to radio, television and the national press. We know how journalists work and we know how to create a news release that will grab attention and end up in print or online.
If your in-house resources are limited, we can deal with all of your media enquiries, liaising with journalists, setting up press conferences or one-to-one briefings and arranging radio and TV interviews.
We also make sure our clients are regularly included in the key publications read by their key audiences. We produce well-written by-lined feature articles that position our clients as industry commentators and thought leaders.
Today, digital sits at the heart of marketing. It also sits at the heart of relationships. As agents of change, our purpose is to provide our clients with the digital services needed to help them create and build connections with people and communities - from customers and consumers to patients and the public.
We don't sell digital marketing services. We solve problems and help people to fall in love with an idea, a cause or a client wanting to do some good.
And just in case you need a bit more pursuasion, we are trained by Google, inspired by all things tech and approved by Government, so you're in safe hands.
Simply put, this is our bread and butter. We are about people, purpose and change. From road safety and recycling to tackling obesity and raising awareness about cancer and heart disease, we are not afraid to take on tough issues.
Our team have been working in social marketing and behaviour change for nearly 20 years. With two decades of experience under our belts, we know what works and what doesn't when trying to change people's behaviour. Whatever your issue, challenge or vision for change, our services can help you deliver impact. We can work with you from start to finish or we can join you at different stages of the behaviour change journey.
Stories are how we understand ourselves, and how we share common causes. When tough issues and challenges are shared as a narrative, it doesn't seem quite so hard or complex to solve.
Our job is to create and curate content that tells the story you want to tell in a way your audience wants to consume it.
Whatever the platform, whatever the medium. Blog posts, white papers, case studies and thought leadership pieces, as well as website pages are all part of this story. You might be pretty good at this, but can't spare the time - or you might just want an expert storyteller and copywriter to deliver for you or your clients. Either way, we can help.
Your business needs more than competitive advantage, it needs meaning in people's lives. We create that meaning, so your brand matters to them. We call it mattering - not marketing.
Our changemakers create respectable brands. The kind that people fall in love with. Our mission is to help you build belief in your brand, business or cause. Because people engage more with brands they believe in. It's not a fluffy task that can be achieved quickly - especially if you have been going for some time and have spent many years existing only to make profit. We are here to help you navigate the new purpose-driven economy and unlock the value in operating as a socially responsible and ethical business.
If you believe in profit and responsibility, we are the people to talk to.
Video content – in all its forms – is a must if you want to build emotional connections with your audience and drive people to your organisation, business, brand or cause.
Whether it's explainer videos, trailers or communicating a powerful story, video is increasingly recognised for its ability to cut-through noise and engage audiences. We have helped our clients stand out from the crowd, grab attention and provoke action on hard to solve or sensitive topics including smoking, cancer, breastfeeding and mental health.
And here is the thing. You won't just get a video when you work with us. You will have access to a team of behavioural experts, designers, animators, researchers, copywriters and marketers. And they will know exactly how to cut through the noice.
We are not web developers. But we work with some really good ones. We are digital designers and researchers. We can deliver beautiful - but desirable and usable websites and apps. But it must be for a good purpose or cause - because we're changemakers, not website makers.
We will allocate a researcher and a designer to work collaboratively on your project. We can apply many different methods and tricks: user tests, fieldwork, A/B tests, interviews, remote tests, guerrilla tests, five-second tests, ghetto tests, and grandma tests to generate, prepare and test good ideas or tech for good.
We don't believe in big or small ideas, just the right ideas.
We will work with you to develop a comprehensive, integrated strategy and deployment plan grounded in metrics, propelled by content and, most of all, tailored to your unique offering and ambition.
We will then help you to skilfully bring your strategy to life deploying our expert team of creative designers, copywriters, behavioural scientists, PR specialists, researchers and marketers, otherwise known as our thinkers, idealists, doers' and designers.
We're the sort of people who build evaluation in from start to finish, learning and adapting for our clients as we go. We know how important real time evaluation is - because its knowing whether you are focusing your resources and budget in the right areas and achieving the outcomes you planned for.
Our team can help you determine the right things to measure, analyse and interpret data - in real time or at the end - and importantly they can help you measure impact.
We really believe design can change and we appreciate that the way something looks can transform how people think and feel and how they engage with an idea, a purpose or an ideal.
We've invested in the best creative talent and embedded researchers into our creative team (the kind that understand people). For us it's about insight, knowing how your audience thinks, feels, what they value, their style, their interests and how to inspire them. When we feel we know them well, we bring craft, concept and storytelling together, beautifully, through visual brand identities that look great (and work) both online and offline.
We are changemakers. We exist to take on the tough social issues; opening the "too difficult box" when everyone else has shut the lid. Why? To help fellow changemakers like you bring about positive social change.
We are proud to say we have saved society millions through groundbreaking research and award-winning campaigns and change programmes and we have helped businesses and brands to deliver profit with purpose.

I think gastropub was kind of what I had in my head and I was a little disappointed to see something that looked more like America Eats. My husband is a burger guy, JBag57, and I usually order something different every time. If the kiddo is along, I try to share because she is allergic to eggs and frankly there are only so many chicken fingers she can eat. I am excited to see what pans out, regardless of the price point or the menu. I have a wedding anniversary coming up and I don't feel like going into DC on a school night.
With all due respect, Joe, family-friendly doesn't necessarily mean casual dining. I think what everyone was hoping for was a menu with a few more entrees south of $20. It also means a place where I can call my parents and in-laws and say "hey, meet us at xyz at 6 on Monday night" and we can have dinner and not necessarily pay $20 an entree (for us, that's Montmartre, but the menu hasn't changed in probably 15 years). Reston is a dichotomous dining wasteland, unfortunately -- split between fast casual places like Chipotle, Cafesano, and the Silver Diner, and Passionfish, Il Fornaio, and Morton's. And most long-time Reston residents don't spend much time at RTC, on top of it all. A lot of families I know here in Reston go out in Lake Anne a lot -- not because the food is particularly outstanding, but the price point (which is just a hair below Red's Table's), is attractive and the Lake is a nice place for families -- who doesn't love a good brutalist playground? I know opening a restaurant is a huge challenge in general and Reston has gotten very expensive (RIP Footsteps and a number of other local businesses), so it's understandable, but it's also hard for those of us with younger families who are busy. All of that said, this looks like a great date night location. The Lakeside space was always grossly underutilized and I'm pleased to see what's being done. I think a lot of us just had a different set of expectations -- after all, that shopping center is where I buy cat food, fill my prescriptions, and buy groceries, so it's a little incongruous. I think we can all, however, agree on the depressing lack of quality delivery food in Reston. Fortunately, there's still a lot of decent take out, even with the departure of Reston Kabob.
Had dinner here last night. Cocktails were great, apps were great, everyone at my table enjoyed everything from cocktails to dessert. Prices were pretty reasonable in comparison to the chain places (GAR, Mon Ami Gabi, Clyde's Group). A little lower or the same. Food was cooked perfectly. The mutton and oysters featured the best fried oysters I've ever had in my whole life, and I love them. My husband had the fried chicken (they give you half a chicken, basically, and he couldn't finish) and our friends had the chicken pot pie (which we joked was deconstructed before it came... and they deconstruct it in front of you) and the scallops. The service has not improved. Our server was actually quite attentive, but it was the touches like water glasses being left empty long enough for me to consider switching with my husband. Also, the food runner brought the wrong orders to us, and then cleared our bread and appetizer plates. There was some confusion because one of the meals was correct. By the time he left, our bread and app plates were gone. Then the rest of the apps came out and we had to ask the next runner for plates. There was a bizarre need to clear all the things from the table, which left us in a couple of weird positions. First, there was the last minute debate over who would have the last oyster. Then the bread basket was whisked away, half full, after we asked for it to stay. Appetizers: grilled oysters, oysters Rockefeller, and bread basket. What I had of the bread basket was somewhat disappointing. The oysters were fabulous.
Pea Pod by Giant
MichelleW replied to Woodleygrrl's topic in Shopping and CookingWe have used PeaPod a lot since our 4.5 month old daughter was born and I've been really happy with them out here in Reston. They're also really helpful for things like cases of bottled water that you don't really want to schlep into the house on a regular basis and you absolutely need to have around in this godawful heat. We ordered 10 cases with our last order because we figured we'd drink them eventually anyhow and they were on sale. I've had good luck with the produce, but I think it also depends on the store your delivery comes from. My deliveries come from the Giant over on Elden Street in Herndon. We didn't have as much success with Safeway delivery as we did with PeaPod (even though we typically shop at Safeway) so we've stuck to PeaPod/Giant for our grocery delivery. I run to Trader Joe's for the extra items once every couple of weeks.
Steak n' Things, Lorton and Burke
MichelleW replied to DonRocks's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and DiningMy ILs live in Fairfax Station and the delivery options are pretty sparse out there. This place is actually on the rotation and I have to just comment that I am amused to see it mentioned on this site at all. I think the nicest thing I can say is that it's serviceable. Kibbee Nayee, I think it's fair to assume the gyro uses the "masonite meat." Sigh.
dr.com Layalina Blowout Dinner
MichelleW replied to Kibbee Nayee's topic in Events and GatheringsThank you for posting photos! I so wanted to go to this, but I am what feels like 500 weeks pregnant so, instead, my husband and I went to Layalina -- which happens to be one of our special restaurants -- for dinner two weeks ago and vowed to come back after the baby comes (with lots of friends) so we can partake of a similar feast.
It's also the best. Lebanese Taverna is seriously overrated in comparison to Layalina, but I am secretly glad that Layalina stays (just slightly) below the radar.
Thai Luang, Family-Owned in Herndon
MichelleW replied to Joe H's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and DiningI have been distinctly underwhelmed by Thai Luang each time I've been in here over the years. First off, the restaurant strikes me as being somewhat dingy, bordering on sticky. I certainly can't say that it competes with Thai Square at its height. My last visit was about six months ago and the drunken noodles were merely mediocre. If I had to take my pick of local Thai spots, I'd still rather go to Sakoontra in Fair Lakes.
Can you use it for lunch or happy hour? It's not that anything I've had here is bad, it's just that it's largely uninspiring for the price point. Even with a gift certificate. Shortly after the place opened, it was fantastic. Now it's a nice value at lunch, but I wouldn't pay dinner prices.
I went in with friends for a leisurely meal last night. It was my first time at New Heights and I was impressed by the way the service struck a good balance of being very good and efficient without rushing us out the door. For my appetizer, I enjoyed the Summer Squash soup with the creme fraiche, and the basil. Due to pregnancy, my sense of smell/taste is extremely sensitive right now and I loved the soup, but it seemed a little overseasoned to me -- just a bit too salty. For the entree, I had the Seared Cobia with the Ham Broth. It was a wonderful combination of flavors and the ham broth added exactly the finish to tie everything together. Easily the highlight of the meal. For dessert I enjoyed the blueberry and thyme sorbet with homemade biscotti. The thyme added a great finish to the blueberry sorbet and was a wonderful palette cleanser. The portions were just right -- just enough food without being too much.
Has anyone had any of the call ahead items on the menu? It's been awhile since we've been to Layalina and I think we need to drive up to Arlington for a visit.
New web person checking in. I'm actually Todd's sister (hence my staying quiet on the various places he's been over the years) and I'll be getting the site up in the next few weeks for Todd and Nicole and building a template so they can easily update the menu online. As soon as it's up, I'll let everyone know. Todd and Nicole have been working nonstop since they took ownership. In addition to Todd's experience, they bring Nicole's impressive front-of-the-house credentials which include Chef Geoff's, Poste, and Tonic at Quigley's Pharmacy. Best, Michelle
Market To Market, Several Locations in DC
MichelleW replied to synaesthesia's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and DiningThat sounds right. My original post was terribly unclear. I used to go to the location in the mall, but I spotted the second location while walking around the area at lunchtime when I worked over there.
Market To Market, Several Locations in DC
MichelleW replied to synaesthesia's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and DiningYeah, they've got another location in Arlington, not far from Ballston as well. I used to work over there and get a salad from there almost every day.
MichelleW replied to The Hersch's topic in Farms and Farmers' MarketsMost of the Virginia-based vendors at the Reston town center market have had them for a couple of weeks now, as well as rhubarb.

4 Princes Street
Secret City
A few times a year – we don't know exactly how often – 52 people meet in a room in London. We think they meet in the Guildhall. The people who attend these meetings represent organisations around the world. We can be sure that they are very well paid for they are the world's financiers.
While most ordinary people know nothing about these meetings, the British government is fully up to speed, in fact its representatives sit in on these meetings, as observers. That's right, the government sits in on meetings in which the world's financiers determine what strategy they want for regulations that affect them!!
A big issue for regulations this year is the proposed EU-US trade agreement, formally known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Critics say it would increase corporate power and make it more difficult for governments to regulate markets for public benefit.
In this talk, Tom Lines, a consultant specialising international trade and agricultural markets, will decipher the finance lobby and expose some secrets we really should know but don't because those who control the markets prefer us not to.
Followed by a special screening of the award winning Secret City, a brilliant and shocking film about the City of London, the Corporation that runs it, and its role in the economic crisis. (see trailer here)
"There is an institution with a murky history and remarkable powers that acts like a political and financial island within our island nation state. Welcome to the Square Mile and the City of London Corporation". The New Statesman, 2011
Speaker Tom Lines and Film-maker, Lee Salter will be available for Q&A and a discussion following the talk and film.
Bookings are closed for this event.

HAVING spent the last 24 years helping people understand cultural conflicts and learn to live together, I have a particular understanding of the recent furore in Singapore regarding a certain Mr Casey, given that I too am British, married to a Singaporean, a permanent resident and have lived here for 24 years.
Let's be very clear about the recent case: Was Mr Casey's behaviour reprehensible? Absolutely.
Were Singaporeans right to be upset? Absolutely.
Does every culture (including Singapore) have ethnocentric and rude people? Absolutely.
Let's not underestimate his rudeness. This was not something said in the heat of a discussion, it was not a mistake made while in the middle of a sales pitch or while discussing an important project.
This was active behaviour where he chose to post offensive statements. Singaporeans, a government minister and his employers have responded in an appropriate way. He has asked for forgiveness. It is now time to move on.
But why did his words cause such outrage from all decent thinking people — Singaporeans and non-Singaporeans alike? It's because this was a reminder of behaviour that many Singaporeans have experienced.
Also let's not forget that this is not just a Caucasian issue. I know countless stories of other cultures insulting Singaporeans in subtle and not so subtle ways — for example, when foreigners say in a patronising tone to Singaporeans: "Your English is sooooo good."
What is the solution? To me, it is a prime example of the need for enhanced cultural intelligence for Singaporeans and non-Singaporeans alike. Although it may upset some Singaporeans to hear, let's not imagine that Singaporeans don't also insult other cultures when they venture abroad.
I have worked with many regional cultures that complain about the "ugly Singaporean". Diversity programmes can involve learning the facts and figures about a country, but the cultural intelligence I'm talking about is not just awareness of other cultures, for "awareness" alone does not help with face-to-face interactions.
Understanding that your new culture is "collectivist" satisfies the brain but does not help with day-to-day behaviour — and it is behaviour that needs to change. It is our cultural intelligence that needs to be developed.
Cultural intelligence (CQ) is based on joint research done with Singapore's Nanyang Technological University and with David Livermore of the Cultural Intelligence Centre in the United States. There are four skills and all are needed:
•CQ Drive: Showing interest in your new culture and having the drive to adapt to it;
• CQ Knowledge: Understanding the new culture and its history, politics and habits;
•CQ Strategy: Making sense of the new culture and devising ways to work effectively with its people; and
• CQ Action: Adapting your verbal and non-verbal actions appropriately when interacting across cultures.
It is likely that Mr Casey had some CQ Knowledge of Singaporean culture but probably had very few drive, strategy or action skills.
In this global world, we all are working face-to-face or online with people from different cultures. CQ can be the difference between success and failure for global leaders and teams, communities and countries.
We must recognise that whether we are expatriates or Singaporeans enjoying life in this beautiful island, we need to recognise that we are all guilty of making cross-cultural mistakes with foreigners or with our fellow citizens.
We need to recognise that cultural "awareness" alone is not enough if we are to live as a true harmonious family in this multi-cultural island. What is needed is behavioural change. What is needed is active development of our cultural intelligence skills.
Article by Philip Merry, chief executive officer of Singapore's Global Leadership Academy. For information about his CQ programmes, see www.philipmerry.com or e-mail email@example.com

Hey all,
Lead Product Manager Lee Horn (Leeeeeee-RSPN) here with an overview of the Season 2 Battle Pass Challenges system. We heard your feedback on the Season 1 grind and created a system which should allow for significantly greater Battle Pass progress with less grind over less time for players who return on a regular basis and maximize their Challenge resets.
With the launch of Season 2, you'll be able to complete Daily and Weekly Challenges to level up your Battle Pass. As we've previously mentioned, we're endeavoring to balance gameplay purity with variety and fun, so none of this Season's challenges will require a YouTube tutorial to figure out.
More than half of your Weekly Challenges will grant an entire Battle Pass level as a reward. The remaining Daily & Weekly Challenges grant STARS which, combined with match XP, contribute to a repeatable Weekly Challenge that grants a full Battle Pass level with each completion. STARS are XP specific to Battle Pass, meaning STARS do not impact Account Level progression.
Daily Challenges
Each day, you will receive three new Daily Challenges chosen randomly from a pool of over two hundred. These challenges range from "Deal 200 Damage in Bunker" to "Play 1 game as Lifeline" and are intended to be achievable in a short play session. Complete your daily challenge and earn 3,000 STARS each.
Your challenge pool will reset every day, so be sure to check back regularly to maximize Battle Pass progress.
Weekly Challenges
Each week, you will receive a set of seven new Weekly Challenges. These challenges are intended to take several play sessions to complete and range from "Get 20 Kills as Gibraltar, Bangalore, or Mirage" to "Loot 100 Epic items." Four of the Weekly Challenges are worth 6,000 STARS each (24,000 STARS total) and three of the Weekly Challenges grant an entire Battle Pass level each upon completion.
Starting the season late? No problem – you'll get access to all previous Weekly Challenges at one. So, if you start in Week 3, you'll get access to Week 1, 2, and 3 challenges immediately (21 in total).
Weekly Resetting Challenges
Each week, you'll have an additional set of three special resetting Weekly Challenges. These are the same every week and refresh even if you haven't completed them. Keep a careful eye on these to make maximum Battle Pass progress.
We hope the Battle Pass progression structure for Season 2 feels way more rewarding! As always, we appreciate all the support and feedback from the community as we continue to iterate and improve Apex Legends.

The new private brand includes Time and Tru in women's wear, a portion of which will replace the activewear licensed brand DanskinNow, which has been licensed from Iconix Brand Group for the last ten years. Walmarts decision to grow its own brand will save the retaileras much as $15.5 million in 2018 in royalty payments to Iconix.
Walmart currently licenses 3 other brands from Iconic: Starter (men's and boys' apparel) OP/Ocean Pacific (lifestyle apparel/swimsuits) and Waverly (fabric and crafts). Sales of those brands at Walmart accounted for 13% of Iconix's $368.4 million in revenue in 2016.
In addition to Time and Tru Walmart has introduced along Terra & Sky in plus-size apparel and Wonder Nation for kids. The George brand, which Walmart brought over from Asda, will be repositioned as a men's brand. The new brands will replace older private labels such as White Stag, Faded Glory, and Just My Size.
The retailer is "launching new brands, not labels," according to one of the slides presented at the meeting, which took place at the retailer's headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, in late January. "We will cover every aspect of fashion."
In the new private brand portfolio, approximately 10% of the apparel offerings will be "trend right" and refreshed quarterly, while 40% will be "fashion basics" that stay on rack six to nine months. The remainder will be core basics like tank tops, will be in stock year-round.
Expect to see a similar emphasis on private brand home décor as Walmart moves to compete more effectively against Amazon and Target.
