Hello! Today was Day Three in my nine day detox and I can tell you it has been so much easier than yesterday! AND I was very impressed with my results so far.
Before I tell you about how my day went, I'll tell you how the plan has worked for me so far and reveal my results.
Drum roll....
Surprisingly I have in fact lost 2kg in weight and even more shockingly a whole 2 inches around my waist! I was stunned at these readings because being pretty thin and toned already I wasn't really expecting to see any physical results- more just a energy boost and feeling less sluggish I guess! So yes, very happy so far!
So, what did I eat today?
I woke up at around 9am feeling very hungry. The type of hunger where you feel a bit sick! So I quickly opted for breakfast. Today this consisted of:
2x Forever Garcinia Plus capsules (20 mins before the aloe).
120ml of the Aloe Vera Gel + min 240ml of water.
1 scoop of Forever Lite Ultra with 300ml of soya milk (or you can do skimmed milk).
Let me tell you I was super pleased about the addition of the vanilla shake for breakfast as I do really enjoy them. In fact I aim to continue having them after a hard gym session post finishing the clean9 plan.
As the shake tends to do, my hunger was relieved shortly after having it and I felt fine. I did a little bit of this and that before taking my snack of 2x Bee Pollen tablets + min 240ml of water around 11ish.
At 12 noon I decided to go for a swim. The plan recommends 20 minutes of daily light exercise such as a walk, run, cycle or swim. It is also recommended that you don't do too much exercise as this could possibly affect your results with building muscle etc. However, considering I'm referred to as a fitness freak or gym junkie...I could go on...I figured I may aswell live as I normally do and do the same exercise routine. Based on the fact I always do similar amounts of exercise each week I'm guessing aswell that I won't be shocking my body and building muscle fast, in fact I reckon I've pretty much built all the muscle I can for now!
So, I swam for around 40 minutes. A nice leisurely lane swim and I really enjoyed it. I don't know if this is just me but whenever I go swimming I always feel starving shortly after leaving the pool. Indeed I started to get hungry and I headed home for my lunch (around 2ish), which was:
2x Forever Garcinia Plus capsules (20 mins before the shake).
1 scoop of Forever Lite Ultra with 300ml of soya milk.
2x Bee Pollen tablets + min 240ml of water.
Again I really enjoyed the shake and I was pleased that there was no Aloe Vera Gel in this meal because, whilst it's good for you and a key part to the plan, it's not pleasant tasting and I have to hold my nose and shot it quickly.
After that I was busy doing the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and that entertained me for a while :) Then at around 6pm it was dinner time! I was so excited! Actual FOOD! However before I could eat a proper meal I had to have:
120ml of the Aloe Vera Gel + min 240ml of water, followed by
2x Forever Garcinia Plus capsules (20 mins before a meal).
Then I could have a meal equivalent to 600 calories. *Please note that this meal should not contain processed foods.
2x Bee Pollen tablets.
As you probably saw above in the photo, I decided to have 2 small pork loin chops, a small baked potato, boiled carrots and boiled mushrooms. I added in a slice of honey dew melon for dessert. I calculated the calories by weighing the food and using the MyFitnessPal app on my iPhone to roughly work out what was what.
Technically I could have been a little bit naughty and put on a couple of spoons of instant gravy, however I decided I wasn't that desperate and would prefer to try and follow the plan strictly. Regardless, I fully enjoyed every mouthful! It's funny how when you haven't eaten for so long it makes you appreciate food so much more. Delicious!
Since then I've been drinking water like the plan suggests and I have to say I've remained full. It's just gone 9:25pm now and I'm getting ready to relax and catch-up on last nights' Dr Who! <3
Feeling much more positive after having had some real food today and getting some great results already!
Day Three, done!

Ticketmaster, owner of the popular invitation service Evite, has threatened to sue Socializr for copyright infringement, saying the company's service looks strikingly and confusingly similar to Evite's.
In a letter sent April 3, Ticketmaster's law firm, Quinn Emanuel, said two invitation design templates offered by San Francisco start-up Socializr were exact copies of Evite's, and another design is very similar. See letter here. The letter also said Socializr's invitation event creation page, design galleries and guest list options menu were all strikingly and confusingly similar in format, layout and features to Evite's pages, and demanded they be taken down.
Socializer seems to have pulled down the two exact template copies — the "Holiday" and "Hawaii Luau" designs — but has left up its "Winter Celebration" template (left in image), which looks similar to Evite's "Winter Hues" (right in image). Quinn Emanuel lawyer Michael Carlinsky said Socializr's response has not been enough to resolve the issue, even though Socializr has agreed to make certain changes. "Other issues are still being examined," he said, saying the complaint is about more than specific templates. Socializr has not yet responded to a request for comment.

VISTA, California, August 22, 2016 – McCain Inc., a national leader in the supply of advanced transportation solutions for safety and mobility, today introduced the Backpack Cabinet, the smallest cabinet in McCain's revolutionary ATC Cabinet Series. Standing just 25 inches tall and weighing less than 55 pounds, the cabinet offers the same advanced safety features common to all ATC Cabinets in one of the most compact designs available on the market today without sacrificing performance.
Small but mighty, the Backpack Cabinet features a first-of-its-kind combo input/output assembly that offers unrivaled configuration flexibility thanks to the introduction of universal slots, which can be used for either detection modules or switchpacks. It also includes unique swing-out assemblies that provide easy access to field wires at the rear of the cabinet.
McCain vice president of hardware engineering and one of the visionaries behind the ground-breaking design, Reza Roozitalab, P.E., could not be more thrilled to bring the Backpack Cabinet to market. "Not every intersection requires a bulky traffic cabinet," he said. "The combo I/O enables us to offer robust and dynamic solutions for intersections with 8 or less phase/pedestrian/overlap movements – those generally served by cabinets at least twice the size and without the same safety features."
Ideal for central business districts, school zones, and downtown areas, this lightweight cabinet can easily be pole or pedestal mounted without the need for a crane or lifting truck, saving agencies both time and money. Furnished with a single-door access point, the compact Backpack Cabinet also frees up valuable sidewalk space and supports city beautification efforts.
McCain will be showcasing the Backpack Cabinet at several upcoming industry events including the IMSA Forum and Expo, August 28-30, 2016; the ITS CA Annual Meeting, September 19-20, 2016; and the TexITE 2016 Fall Meeting, September 21-22, 2016.

Research focus
The relations between disability and culture have been among the main research fields particular for the medical anthropologists. Currently the section has a particular focus on what is often termed the 'vicious circle of disability and poverty', exemplified by ethnographic studies in South Africa and China (Inner Mongolia and Tibet). These research projects are based on close cooperation with local partner institutions. Moreover, one professor emeritus is also involved in applied projects within this field.
Sexual and reproductive health:
HIV and Aids, and groups in particular vulnerable positions for acquiring HIV infections, has been an ongoing research theme at the section since 1994. The section's research in this thematic area has been conducted in Norwegian and African contexts, and is currently focusing on same-sex attracted men in Tanzania, sex workers in Botswana and reproduction decisions among HIV positive couples in Malawi. Moreover, several projects at the section concern treatments of infertility, in Norwegian medical history and in Tibetan medicine. Recently completed projects on sexual and reproductive health include the history of menstruation in Norway, of female genital cutting among Somalis in Norway and perceptions and practices of illegal abortion in Ethiopia.
Asian medicine:
Non-Western medicines have been an important field of research since the establishment of the section. Initially the focus was on African medical traditions, but since the mid 1990s it has turned increasingly towards Asian medicines, and especially Chinese traditional medicine as practiced in Norway and more recently Tibetan medicine as practiced in People's Republic of China.
Medicalization of everyday life:
An integral theme in the research history of the Section, 'medicalization' as a general phenomenon, has been developed as a specific field of inquiry over the last six years. Emphasis is on the ongoing medicalization of mundane daily activities such as bodily movement (including exercising and walking) and food and feeding, especially in the Norwegian context. Medicalization will be further pursued as a thematic field in the coming years, both as an aspect of other research (such as Asian medicine and disability) and through projects whose main focus will be on 'medicalization'.
History of medical standardisation:
Work focuses on the standardisation of biological medicines in production and application (vaccines, hormones, fungal antibiotics). Work so far has focused on vaccines, but is now including other biologicals like antibiotics as well as medical practices such as the history of evidence-based medicine. Through this topic links with European partners are actively pursued.
Contemporary history of medicine in Norway:
We have in a series of public seminars explored memories of recent Norwegian medical history such as the closure of the Reitgjerdet forensic psychiatry or the arrival of AIDS. These so-called witness seminars (aktørseminarer) respond to current interest in historical matters in the medical community and aim at understanding historical events by investigating memories of participants.
History of infectious disease and antibiotic resistance:
Several studies related to this form the centre of our historical research activities. We study the traditionally low Norwegian resistance rates in a European context and the role of resistance in the R&D of medicines and their markets. The research area is related to an interest in the history of infectious diseases 18th to 20th centuries that medical historians in this section have pursued for many years. Previous work include the history of "the Norwegian radesyke", the history of 19th and 20th century medical bacteriology and of a number of common infectious diseases including tropical infections. We have received funding for a project on history of Leprosy in 20th century Ethiopia. Studying antibiotic resistance in the context of the history of infectious disease it is going to be the main focus of work among the historians in the upcoming years.

The Low Incomes Tax Reform Group (LITRG) has called for the Taylor review to investigate the relationship between tax and non-standard work, frequently described as 'gig economy' work.
The popularity of non-standard work such as agency work, zero-hour contracts and self-employment has helped to coin this phrase. It can be defined as short-term, casual work and many people seek it out with the use of apps. It can provide flexibility, as workers choose when they work, fitting it in around other commitments. Roles can include DIY tasks, delivering items or driving.
Although The Taylor Review, commissioned in October 2016, is specifically going to look at employment law and practice and aims to undertake 'An independent review of employment practises in the modern economy', the LITRG has argued that it is impossible not to consider tax alongside employment. The two are linked.
A worker's 'security, pay and rights', also ties in with how they are taxed and these topics will be part of the review. The LITRG also urged the review to consider workers' tax, National Insurance (NIC) and tax credit positions.
Using the example of statutory payments such as sick or maternity pay, which are only provided to an employee if a 'secondary contributor' – someone who pays Employers' NIC, exists, the LITRG have shown that gig economy workers can easily be exploited. They are not entitled to such payments, because secondary contributors do not exist for them, and low income individuals are particularly vulnerable.
Without exploring the rise in this type of work, which is often attractive to employers due to the ability to minimise or avoid taxes through it, the LITRG are worried that the review would not present an accurate picture of the modern economy.
Commenting on the need for a closer look at worker taxes, Anne Fairpo, Chair of LITRG, said: "The Taylor Review should not be seen as a comprehensive review of employment practices, because its terms of reference do not include tax. In our view, you cannot understand one without the other.
"We think that a comprehensive review of tax and related issues and non-standard work should be carried out as a matter of urgency and hope that such a recommendation is made by Matthew Taylor and his panel.
"Even where there is no legal wrongdoing as such, minimising tax or trying to avoid HMRC administration is often a factor in terms of employers offering non-standard forms of work, for example, zero hours contracts or temporary positions over full-time, permanent, direct employment.
"Not only can this type of work make workers' lives insecure and unfulfilling but there is a huge knock-on effect on public finances, with much of the welfare system funded from general taxation – surely a longer-term consideration when thinking about a worker's security."
Something that often causes confusion for workers is how they are categorised when it comes to tax. 'employed' and 'self-employed' categories are in place for tax, but an additional category of 'worker' existing in employment law is proving problematic. LITRG believes this leads to workers potentially missing out on certain rights.
Fairpo added: "Exploitation of workers often manifests itself in problems with their tax and National Insurance Contributions such as employers not paying over withheld amounts of Pay As You Earn (PAYE) to HMRC.
The results of the Taylor review are not expected to be published until after the General Election.

Well, here is is from Hilary Clinton's youtube account. That one won't be going away. The latest Clinton ad is very simple and very effective.
Like a couple of recent Clinton ads, this one lets Donald Trump speak for himself. That should have a strengthen Clinton voters and shake up undecideds and anyone leaning weakly either to Clinton or Trump.
These ads are not aimed at Trumpers. The hard core Trump voters already love this kind of stuff. This is part of the "telling it like it is" that they eat up. Everyone else either cringes at him already or has the capacity to at least shiver a bit when they hear some of this crap.
In an earlier version of this post, it read that the ads would have a "devastating" impact on Clinton voters. Some people didn't get the intended meaning, which, in hindsight was wrong. This ad should reinforce Clinton voters and get to everyone except the hard core Trump voters.

Brown Mosten Client Consultation Competition – it is about it's about authenticity, about friendship and beauty of people in the world.
And little bit about how lawyers should behave themselves in this world.
A while ago the 33rd brown Mosten International Client Consultation Competition has finished. It was already a second time (2011 and now) when the Competition was hosted by the Maastricht University Law Faculty. Normally the Contest will only be held once in a country or a place, but – remembering the perfect organization by Jae Fernhout back in 2011 everybody was happy to return to beautiful Maastricht in 6 years.
Picturesque town, brilliant organization, meaningful and comfortable program, professional jury, charismatic acting clients, almost family atmosphere among the teams from 22 countries and even many more nations, operetta for the Competition participants as spectators only, calm and relaxing pancake cruise, active and helful buddies – all these are just initial reflections. But the impressions and conclusion are many more than this.
Personally for me this was the fourth time to be at the International round, twice of which were in Maastricht. So, this time it felt like coming back home, to meet old friends, and the place you do not want to leave anymore at all. As I looked around in the hall where people of over 30 nationalities gathered, I caught myself in the thought of how beautiful and diverse the human race is, and how much beauty can be different. Isn't this one of the deepest goals of such competitions – to unveil this beauty to everyone who wants to see it?
There were no competition rounds in the first day, as organizators considered the fact that participants might be rather tired. Along with that, all participants were invited to 4 short but very specific workshops from local lawyers and legal clinics representatives from outside Netherlands. All workshops were united under the topic "Lawyer-Client Communication across Culture and Language Borders", which was really of use before the Competition phase actually started. A colorful artistic opening program and an informal dinner made such diverse people from all over the world to feel like friends right away.
Traditionally, Competition was held in English, had three rounds and four actual tours – two quarterfinals, semifinals and finals. By the way, the idea was announced to consider possibility of running two semifinal rounds in order to give the teams even more opportunities to present themselves.
For the first time in the International Round, teams from Belgium, Croatia and Kenya took part. Moreover, the Croatian team even gpt to the semi-final, which was especially delightful. Also, teams from Indonesia, Nigeria, Germany, India, Malaysia, Australia, Georgia, the United States of America, Canada, Northern Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, Poland and, of course, the Netherlands, have arrived.
On the third day of the Competition, the Annual Meeting with national representatives of the Competition was held to discuss the Competition topics for the next years, the countries in which the Competition will be held, as well as other organizational issues. So in 2019, Brown Mosten International Client Competition will be held in Dublin, Ireland. Quite unusual for the ICCC, the criminal law was elected as a topic branch for 2019. The approximate topic named was "Theft", and approximate dates are April 3-6, 2019.
Significant for Ukraine is the fact, that our suggestion to host ICCC somehow in the future was accepted by the Competition OC. So it is quite possible that in 2021 or 2022 the International Competition will be held in our country!
The story about the ICCC 2018 would be incomplete without mentioning an interesting and practical training from Forrest S. Mosten, an inspirer and Executive Director of the Competition, on "Unbundled Dispute Resolution". Mr. Mosten is one of this concept founders. "Unbundled services" are also known as "limited scope representation" or "discrete task representation". In other words, with such a model of legal aid, the lawyer agrees with the client those steps and actions in the case that the client can perform on their own, thus taking over part of the responsibility for the outcome of the case and saving their own funds. The described approach has become quite popular in recent years in the United States of America and is used mainly in the field of family law. Forrest Mosten spoke about the benefits and challenges of this type of practice, as well as its perspectives. He focused on the fact that the "unbundling" contributes to a more peaceful resolution of disputes, while this should be the main goal in dealing with any legal matter. Last year, Mr. Mosten co-authored with another US lawyer, Elithabeth Potter Scully, published the "Unbundled Legal Services" book. For the first time among the ICCC participants, Mr. Motsen's model of such client's representation was introduced in 2015 in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA, where the Consultation Competition was held. In general, the idea of "Unbundled Legal Services" is very interesting and probably can be implemented also in Ukraine, especially in the practice of legal clinics, where students are quite limited both in terms of representation powers and time, as they are still combining studying and work in the legal clinic.
On the last Competition day there were two rounds – semi-final and final. In the battle against participants from Malaysia and Scotland, a team from the United States of America virtuously won. During the final gala dinner, all participants exchanged gifts and received certificates of participation.
Khrystyna Shevchuk, 3rd year student of the I.Malynovskyi Institute of Law, National University of Ostroh Academy, participant from Ukrainian team:
"Talking about International round of Brown-Moisten Client Consultation Competition, I was impressed by the mood of Competition and how well it was organized. Everything worked like a clock, meeting, lectures, consultations started and finished in exact time. Organizers prepared incredibly interesting activities for us. Atmosphere was friendly. This competition is firstly about cultural experience. At the beginning of competition we had some lectures which helped us to understand how different we are, but we are all united by a dream to become lawyers.
Personally, participation in this competition showed me that you should never stop what you have started. This one is my favourite competition because you get joy and satisfaction more from participating than even from winning. If I had an opportunity to be the part of the competition again, I would definitely do so!"
Kateryna Valko, 4rd year student of the I.Malynovskyi Institute of Law, National University of Ostroh Academy, participant from Ukrainian team:
"Two weeks have passed after the 2018 ICCC, but I still cannot believe that I was so fortuned to participate in this competition. When I think about magical Dutch town Maastricht, I certainty remind a lot of moments, memories, which I would like to share with all Ukrainians. In general, I can say for sure that the ICCC is not a simple contest, it's something much more. The purpose of this competition is to restore peoples' friendship, to share experience not only in consultation, but also in moral and ethical aspects, to work, and at the same time, to rest in cultural diversity of people. I'll never get tired to recount for hundreds of times in detail about daily events of the competition. Honestly, I love to do it again and again. But, unfortunately, here I have to be as laconic as I haven't been before. Therefore, the main advantages of this competition, and why one should take part:
Firstly, international consultation is a great challenge. Still, you need not only to know all the provisions of law (in fact, if you even make a mistake in some term, etc. – you still have a chance to win). The ability to find a common language with the client is much appreciated there – in the direct and figurative meaning of the word;
Secondly, this competition helps to develop your creativity, and even take something from other teams, countries. In the future, it's your style and legal face;
Thirdly, this is a great chance to meet new people! For four days one after another you will be surrounded by the same teenagers, so that's why be sure that you won't feel embarrassed, you won't be in any way sad or bored;
Fourth, this is a best way to practice your English;
And fifth, it is a priceless life experience and also a lot of cool pictures."
Observations and Lessons Learnt:
The main emphasis of these Competitions is the ethical aspect of the lawyer's work and the peaceful settlement of conflicts that arise between the parties to the legal dispute. This does not mean that the legal analysis and the quality of the primary legal advice are not taken into account, but the criteria of moral and ethical attitudes of lawyers between themselves, with the client and analysis of legal situations for observance of ethical norms are considerably more important;
Each panel of judges had at least one representative practicing psychology or social work. The organizers are convinced that such a composition of the jury favours the most objective evaluation of the teams according to the criteria;
Despite the fact that the organizers provide a certain isolation of teams from each other during rounds, the overall international round is not too formalized and is based largely on overall mutual trust and integrity;
On the first day it is quite appropriate to only conduct registration and introductory events. Due to this participants have the opportunity to relax, get to know each other, better tune in to future rounds;
The Competition Program should be designed in such a way that participants (students and trainers) who are not involved in the rounds at a given time have opportunity to attend other events – cultural or educational (tours, workshops, interactive classes, cultural events, etc.);
Structured and clear volunteers organization. The volunteer structure should include a senior volunteer, a volunteer responsible for logistics, judges' support, 'client's' support, and a specific volunteer for each team;
Perhaps the most important observation was that absolutely everyone who was engaged into the organization of the Competition absolutely loved what was happening and enjoyed every second of the process. That atmosphere was unbelievable!

Sepracor Inc. has announced that it has completed the analysis and validation of the preliminary results of a Phase II, 514-patient study evaluating the efficacy and safety of SEP-225289 for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder, including patients with melancholic and atypical features.
Sepracor determined that SEP-225289 did not meet the primary efficacy endpoint, which was a reduction in symptoms of depression following eight weeks of treatment, as assessed using the clinician-rated, 17-item HAM-D scale. The positive control in the study did achieve separation from placebo that was statistically significant on the primary endpoint.
In this study, the measured serum concentrations of SEP-225289 were found to be below expected levels of exposure for both doses studied and were well below exposure profiles observed in several Phase I studies.
Further, the adverse event profile demonstrated by SEP-225289 was inconsistent with prior clinical experience and was similar to the side effect profile observed when patients were administered placebo. As such, preliminary data are inconclusive pending further investigation of the dose exposure relationship of SEP-225289.
"While we are clearly disappointed with the findings from the analysis of the preliminary study results, we are in the process of further analysis of the dose response and secondary endpoints to determine how or if we will take this novel mechanistic approach forward," said Mark H.N. Corrigan, M.D., Executive Vice President, Research and Development at Sepracor.
SEP-225289 is a member of a relatively new class of pharmacologic agents referred to as triple reuptake inhibitors based on their activities at the serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine transporters. The pharmacological profile of SEP-225289 is distinct from all other currently approved antidepressant agents due to its significant affinity for the dopamine transporter as well as its high potency reuptake inhibition at the serotonin and norepinephrine transporters.
In 2008 and early 2009, Sepracor completed two pediatric studies of LUNESTA® brand eszopiclone in response to a Written Request from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in connection with its efforts to obtain a pediatric exclusivity extension for LUNESTA. In April 2009, Sepracor initiated two additional pediatric studies in accordance with the FDA's Written Request.
The FDA has notified us that these two studies have been put on clinical hold due to its concerns regarding non-clinical data that could be relevant to the administration of eszopiclone in children. The clinical hold does not relate to any findings observed in the pediatric clinical studies nor does it impact any ongoing eszopiclone clinical trials in adults. In addition, this action does not impact the availability or prescribing information for LUNESTA in the treatment of adults with insomnia.
LUNESTA has been proven to be safe and well tolerated in the treatment of adults and elderly patients with insomnia. Sepracor intends to work with the FDA to address the potential resolution of FDA's concerns regarding the non-clinical data with respect to human pediatric subjects.
"We are focusing our near-term research and development efforts on STEDESA™, which is a potential new adjunctive treatment for partial-onset epilepsy currently under review at the FDA, and OMNARIS® HFA Nasal Aerosol for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, which is on target to enter its second large-scale Phase III clinical study in the fall of 2009," said Adrian Adams, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sepracor.
"We will provide an update on the ongoing analysis of the SEP-225289 data and the LUNESTA pediatric studies during our second quarter 2009 conference call that will be held later in July. In addition, we will provide a general review of progress with our pharmaceutical product pipeline."

I got to see my sister today. It was nice wandering Target with her and spending time with my niece.
Sunday, February 15, 2015
The space behind the kitchen sink was bothering me. It got dirty quickly and looked blah to me. I grabbed a ceramic tray I had bought at Target and used a small bowl to hold the sponge. I think it looks better.
I had a door knob that was loose so I decided to take apart all the ceramic door knobs and removed all the paint off of them. I boiled the hardware with soap to get the paint off. I refinished the metal hardware with Rust-oleum flat soft iron.

H&M, Ikea, Gap, Adidas and Nike Among Global Brands Leading on Sustainable Cotton Sourcing
In 2018, the Better Cotton Initiatives (BCI) Retailer and Brand Members sourced more than one million metric tonnes of Better Cotton. Thats a 45% increase on 2017 (736,000 metric tonnes) and sends a clear signal to the market that Better Cotton is becoming a sustainable mainstream commodity.
BCIs demand-driven funding model means that retailer and brand sourcing of 'Better Cotton' (cotton produced by licensed BCI Farmers in line with the initiatives Better Cotton Principles and Criteria that guide BCI Farmers towards continuous improvement across seven key areas) directly translates into increased investment in training for cotton farmers on more sustainable agricultural practices.

Orpheus Descending is set to run through May 14 in Greenwich Village's historic St. John's Lutheran Church.

Director Pendleton describes the Williams work as "a mythological play and a Christian play, and most of all, an utterly convincing evocation of small-town Mississippi in a desperate time and a beautiful, utterly original love story."
The story follows Sicilian immigrant Lady Torrance, who runs a dry-goods store in the Deep South during the 1940's. Stuck in an unhappy 20-year marriage with a tyrannical and sickly husband, her world is turned upside down by the arrival of a young drifter called Val Xavier. "Lady begins an affair that not only causes a town-wide scandal, but also, and more importantly, awakens a long-forgotten passion that brings Lady deep solace," state production notes.
The creative team includes Susannah Baron (lighting design), Carrie Mossman (set and prop design), Tony French (costume design), Dr. Annette J. Saddik (dramaturg), Duncan Becker (props), Logan Faust (props), Robert Neapolitan (production stage manager), Lefty Lucy (ASM/costume assistant) and Brooke Lynn Tibbs (associate producer/box-office manager).

Hilary Duff: I am 'the worst dieter'
Hilary Duff claims she doesn't ''have the best body.''
The "Younger" star says she is ''the worst dieter ever,'' but insists she is very ''proud'' of her figure.
The 27-year-old actress said: ''I'm the worst dieter ever so I don't have the best body, but I'm proud of my body and I'm, like, accepting of what it is.''
Hilary, who has three-year-old son Luca with estranged husband Mike Comrie, previously admitted she was obsessed with being skinny as a teenager and sparked concern when she debuted a noticeably slimmer figure in 2005.
But she told E! News: ''I'm not ever going to be 110 pounds again, so working with what you got and just trying to feel strong and powerful I think is a good motto for a mom who's 27.''
The "So Yesterday" hitmaker recently filed for divorce from Mike following their split in early 2014, but is trying to focus on relaunching her music career.
The "Sparks" hitmaker said: ''It's been a big year for me obviously. Everyone knows a lot of what goes on in my personal life and thank God I have exciting things happening in my professional life as well, like the show and my record. My record's finally done. So I'm really excited for whatever adventure is in my future. I think it's going to be exciting.''

Neville might have appeared to give up any future shots at Enzo Amore's Cruiserweight Championship when he struck the Realest Guy In The Room on Raw. After all, Enzo had an iron-clad no-contact clause so if anyone touched him then they would never get another shot at his title.
Dave Meltzer opened up about this on Wrestling Observer Radio where he said that in the end, the roads are leading back to Neville challenging Enzo for the title. It just might take a little bit of time to get there.
"Well, it leads to Enzo against Neville." Meltzer continued, "This is probably a way to delay it a couple of months and maybe [Enzo] will work with Rich Swann first because that was one of the guys he insulted. Or maybe someone else, maybe Cedric [Alexander] — he did insult Cedric as well. And it's a way to keep Neville from getting a shot for a while so when he gets it, it's a bigger deal."
But in the end, it could boil down to WWE's scrapping the idea and moving onto Neville and Enzo sooner than later
"I think maybe [Neville] gets a shot next week and they just forget it."

July 20, 1989, Section C, Page 24Buy Reprints
Almost 10 months after it first appeared in print in Britain, the French version of ''The Satanic Verses'' by Salman Rushdie made a timid debut in France's bookshops today, long after translated versions appeared in Italy, Norway and Spain.
The book's French translator used a pseudonym, and there was none of the customary advertising.
Despite the apprehension of the authorities and publisher in France, presumably because of the three million to four million Muslims who live here, the book brought little apparent public reaction today.
In Italy, where the book was published 20 weeks ago, it is No. 10 on the best-seller list with approximately 350,000 copies sold. In London, Peter Harland, the director of Bookwatch, estimates that 100,000 copies have been sold since last September, when it appeared.
The French publisher Christian Bourgois, who postponed publication several times, sent copies only to bookshops that requested them instead of following the usual practice of automatic delivery to regular customers. Some bookshops refused to stock it.
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini decreed in February that the author and publishers of the book should be killed because, he said, it blasphemes Muslims. Recalling this, Mr. Bourgois said in a television interview on Tuesday, ''I am not publishing this book to revive a religious war.'' He stressed that his undertaking has the support of the French Government, which Culture Minister Jack Lang expressed Tuesday. Ambassador Returns
The book's publication here coincided with the return to Paris this morning of Ali Ahani, the Iranian Ambassador to France. He was recalled during the furor over the Ayatollah's death threats. The French Ambassador to Teheran returned to his post there a month ago.
A spokeswoman for Editions Christian Bourgois said that about 60,000 copies of the book were distributed throughout France and that sales were good. One large store in Paris said it sold all its 1,000 copies before lunch at $24 each, Reuters reported.
The book received mixed reviews, with many people saying it was difficult to read. ''I don't think it is in the best-seller class if you look at it on its literary merits alone,'' Tahseen Bashir, a former senior foreign affairs and media adviser to President Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt, said in a telephone interview. ''It's very heavy reading and much of this stuff has been written before about the Prophet and Islam. Most people are buying it to put it on their coffee tables as a conversation piece, not to read it.''
Several buyers interviewed on French television this afternoon said they would not have bought the book but for the controversy over it.
After an intitial flurry of support from Western writers and governments, many people in the West criticized the book. While abhorring the Ayatollah's death threats, the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, said in a March editorial that the book contained ''gratuitous distortions if not outright blasphemy.''

I saw the movie Kiss And Cry. This movie stars Sarah Fisher (Degrassi), Luke Bilyk (Degrassi), Chantal Kreviazuk, and Zoe Belkin (The Latest Buzz).
A truly touching story consisting of a smart, talented girl whose dreams come to a stop because it is discovered she has a rare form of throat cancer, 1 in 3.5 billion type of sarcoma. Her family and her boyfriend help her through every step of the way as she keeps her hopes up and continues to smile.
I give this movie 3 out of 5 stars. Watch the credits.
Fun Facts:
-Sarah Fisher and Carly Allison were best friends in real life.
-Sarah Fisher and Luke Bilyk played love interests in the TV show Degrassi. They are also close friends in real life.

Sunrise Senior Living Ranked among Best Workplaces in Aging Services by Great Place to Work® and FORTUNE for Second Consecutive Year
Team members highlighted meaningful work and inclusive environment in survey responses
MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Great Place to Work® and Fortune have ranked Sunrise Senior Living No. 12 on their list of the Best Workplaces in Aging Services among large organizations.* This marks the second consecutive year that Sunrise has been recognized on Great Place to Work's annual list. The ranking was determined using survey responses from more than 5,000 Sunrise team members in the United States.
"Our valued team members are devoted to the Sunrise mission to champion quality of life for all seniors, and that's powerfully evident as they work to bring meaningful days to our beloved residents," said Chris Winkle, chief executive officer for Sunrise. "We remain committed to cultivating and growing our team members within the organization, and are always seeking to strengthen our position as an employer of choice in our industry. This continued recognition from Great Place to Work® is reflective of the compassionate, inclusive, and supportive culture we strive to foster here at Sunrise."
Great Place to Work, an independent research and consulting firm, evaluated more than 60 elements of senior living employees' experience on the job. These included employee pride in the organization's community impact, belief that their work makes a difference, and feeling their work has special meaning. Rankings are based on employees' experiences, no matter who they are or what they do.
"When we receive letters from our residents' families, they express a deep appreciation for our team members—the individuals who demonstrate daily their dedication to compassionate high-quality care, driven by the inherent desire to serve," said Mike Rodis, senior vice president of Human Resources for Sunrise. "Recognition aside, these survey results are another way for us to validate areas of strength and opportunity in our organization, so that we can help maintain a work environment where our people feel valued and fulfilled."
Survey results cited team members' pride in their work and in their ability to make a difference. Sunrise also received high marks when it comes to welcoming new employees, creating a safe environment, and treating team members with fairness. Additionally, the majority of survey respondents feel that individuals in their organization are treated fairly regardless of their gender or sexual orientation.
"We applaud Sunrise for seeking certification and releasing its employees' feedback," said Dr. Jacquelyn Kung, of Great Place to Work's senior care affiliate Activated Insights. "These ratings measure its capacity to earn its own employees' trust and create a great workplace for high performance."
Sunrise ranks among the leading industry providers for assisted and independent living services, as well as memory care for aging adults. Based on a random selection of team member surveys, ranking scores were tallied according to Great Place to Work's Trust Index™ employee survey—the global standard for measuring a great workplace—and an assessment of all team members' daily experiences of innovation and the effectiveness of their leaders to ensure they're consistently experienced by all groups. All organizations who appear on a Best Workplaces list must first be certified as a Great Place to Work®.

Just out of curiosity what did she cosplay as? Cersei Lannister? Shame Shame Shame...
Yes, the lack of overnight shuttles will absolutely affect the people who line up super early or overnight. It's a real shame for that reason, because those people are actually using the shuttles as part of their Con experience (as opposed to people just needing a ride home from the bars - which I've totally done too, no judgment. It's just not strictly Con-related).
Sorry for the late and multiple replies. I wanted to bring up a post I saw somewhere a couple of days ago where a board poster mentioned they were starting the refund process and not having a downtown room and 24 hour shuttles were main reasons for not attending the convention. The poster relied on the late night shuttles to get to those very early morning lines for some exclusives and other things. A 5 AM shuttle was actually too late for their activities. It was something I had not thought about as I am not one for those early morning lines but many people are. It made me think that one somewhat small change can affect many people's experiences.
I still hope to get a downtown hotel tomorrow but i'm not very confident that will actually happen.
I would stick it out as long as possible in your search for a hotel. I doubt you'll find something tomorrow since everyone will be hammering the site to get something. But hotels always pop up between now and SDCC, even downtown. You just have to be diligent, persistent, and yes, lucky.But I do get it. 24hr shuttle is critical to a lot of con goers. Back before it became 24hr, it wasn't as necessary since camping wasn't anywhere near as prevalent. And the shuttle hours extended past last call at bars, which it won't this year. If they really wanted to cut back (presumably for cost reasons), I'd say scale back to once an hour. Or basically one bus per route. (If that was already the case, then my apologies). Or maybe one bus that goes multiple routes.I imagine TalkBack this year will show a huge backlash against the new shuttle hours.
We skipped Comic Con last year, so I wasn't able to witness the impact of the new lottery system (for many of the in-demand exclusives). Did it alleviate the overnight camping lines? I wonder if that's a reason for stopping the 24-hour shuttle service, or if it was purely cost-based. I was surprised to learn that they did that. It seems to limit options for those staying outside of downtown (and increases--even further--the demand for downtown rooms).
This is the situation Me and my friends are in. We didn't get a downtown hotel even though my friend had a time of 9:01 for the form which makes no sens to me as i have seen people say they got into the form later and got downtown. Anyway we got a hotel by the airport which we decided we don't want because of the shuttle situation. We just don't know how we would get to the convention center to get in line early in the morning. I doubt it would be easy to get an Uber/Lyft at 2 or 3 in the morning and I don't know how easy it would be to even get a cab at the hotel. If we don't end up getting something downtown in the waitlist or when they open hotels up to everyone we are going to cancel and get a refund on our badges by the refund dat e of May 13th. It's just too expensive a trip and there is enough to stress about every year that adding the hassle and extra stress of worrying about getting to the con to get in line just pushes it over the edge for us as it being worth going anymore. It just seems like every year they add more hoops to jump through and more stuff to plan and more stress that this is just the tipping point for us. I still hope to get a downtown hotel tomorrow but i'm not very confident that will actually happen.
Cost probably became too high with too few riders on some routes

I have been souring pinterest for ideas on how to make a great work area with very little space. I decided my space had to meet three qualities if I was going to feel comfortable in it:
1. Small but effective - I don't have a lot of space to work with, so making sure I have everything I need while not being over-cluttered is very important.
2. Inspirational - I love to have inspirational quotes all around me to keep me motivated and working hard.
3. Stylish - If I want to embrace my creativity, I need to style the space so that it fits my personality and looks beautiful as well.
After hours of Pinteresting, here are a couple of photos I found as inspiration for my work area.
1. Quoted coffee mug - I drink a lot of coffee while I work. It keeps me going. I love this mug because it not only helps keep me caffeinated, but it also makes me feel important with the "like a boss" quote.
2. Fun notepads - I am constantly writing down notes and ideas while I work. I love these Kate Spade notepads because they double as a functional item as well as a decor item with the cute covers!
3. Mouse pad - I must have a mouse while I work. I cannot stand the track pad on lap tops so I always have a wireless mouse and mouse pad handy. Zazzle has a lot of really cute and affordable options for mouse pads.
4. Desk Organizer - I always seem to collect a lot of desk nick-nacks such as pens, highlighters, scissors, etc. This desk organizer by Nate Berkus from Target fits well with my work space style.
5. Flowers - Every space needs some flowers. You can always count on One Kings Lane to deliver on the faux flower department.
6. File Folders - I always go through tons of folders. These mint colored folders from Nate Berkus for Target are a perfect way to ad some style to an otherwise boring desk accessory.
7. Pens - forget the normal black and blue ink. Opt for these gold and silver gel pens from PaperSource to add some flare to your notes.
8. Printed wall art - I recently came across this cute Etsy shop, FashionandFeathers, from a fellow blogger, and you have to check this stuff out! She has the cutest wall prints. I love this #WorkIt print for some quick motivation.
I will definitely be posting pictures once the final product is complete... so stay tuned!

My husband and I dined at Kypreos on Saturday , Dec 6/14. He had a late breakfast and loved it, as he always does and I had a late lunch, hot turkey sandwich. The vegetables,broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and roasted potatoes were DELICIOUS, fresh and cooked perfectly . The hot turkey was flavourful and tender. Our waiter, Ernesto was outstanding. I cannot wait to go back!
Kyprios has impressed the entire family with the fresh ingredients, healthy and delicious food - our favorite places to dine. We got two starters with our special, salad and soup, main course and dessert and took food home all for $12.99. Great service and licensed.
I have been to Kypreo's a few times now and everytime my wife and I were impressed at the quility and service. Pricing was at par and for all you members of The CF this is the best place around.
very good a favorite for breakfast and dinner
I took my family to Kypreos for the first time. The selection was great and the food was delicious! They had reasonable prices and excellent service. We would definetly go back again.
Had a very nice time. Food was very good and you had plenty to enjoy. Service was pleasent. Will enjoy again.

Tottenham are desperate to begin talks with Manchester United over the transfer of Anthony Martial as the French man grows more frustrated with life under Jose Mourinho.
Martial missed out on the French World Cup squad this summer after reduced role under Jose Mourinho, and he is keen to leave and get more playing time. Martial scored 9 goals in 30 games this season, but the arrival of Alexis Sanchez in the January transfer window means that he had to be rotated with Marcus Rashford off the bench.
Manchester United are now preparing to sign Gareth Bale from Real Madrid which mean Martial would fall further down the pecking order. This has prompted Tottenham to make their move for him.
Reports claim that Daniel Levy has enquired about the availability of Martial but he is yet to get a response from the Red Devils. Spurs may have to spend about £50 million to get Martial as he joined the Red Devils for £36 million in the summer of 2015.
His transfer fee when he joined Manchester United could rise to £61.5 million when other clause are met, but the Red Devils can almost certainly avoid paying those if he is sold off this summer.
