In case you missed it, last week I announced the exciting news about launching my very own jewelry line, Pink Peonies Collection. Throughout the entire process of creating the collection I've been gathering images that reflect my personal style that helped give inspiration for the jewelry designs, packaging as well as the website. Above are a few of my favorite screenshots from all of the inspirational images I gathered over the last two years. Each photo encompasses the feel of the collection…feminine, timeless, delicate and unique.

Congratulations on your line. It is amazing to see how a blog can blossom into an entrepreneurial venture, far removed from the original intent. Thank you for the inspiration. Reinvention can always be an option on on the horizon.
First, I want you to know that your website is beautiful and stunning. I adore your style :) My other comment is to ask you where I could find that lovely white desk (shown along with the white cushioned chair and pink heels)? I've been looking for a desk like this and would be interested in learning more about it.

I hit the pause button on writing for the past 10 months. When I took on my new role at Microsoft, I knew I would need to fully commit to learning a new function, a new segment, and learning how to interact with a new set of business leaders. I gave myself permission to fully focus on work and to avoid too much time dilution with creative pursuits, cycling, or social functions. The successes I've achieved and the relationships built during this time are greater than I dared expect.
Now it's time for re-balancing. Time to get healthy, ride my bicycle, and endeavor to string words together in a pleasing fashion. Perhaps time to celebrate with friends and co-workers. Time to enjoy the summer, sit on the beach and read a book. Time to visit family. A new equilibrium where work is but one facet in my sparkling life.
I shared dinner with some friends last night, and one of them remarked that his career in the military – over 20 years in the past – truly felt like a distant life. The comment resonated with me — and I also resolved that it was time to make life less distant.
Here's to a bright and varied second half of 2017!

Indigo Girls • SOPAC • Sept 12th • TWO SHOWS
South Orange Performing Arts Center 1 SOPAC Way South Orange, NJ, 07079 United States (map)
The Indigo Girls
SOPAC • NEW DATE • SEPT 12TH • 7 PM & 9 PM
Amy Ray and Emily Saliers
Message from artist management:
Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls was not feeling well last weekend and it turns out that she had appendicitis. Her doctor ordered emergency appendectomy surgery. All went well but she has received strict orders from the doctor to rest until she is fullyrecovered . Unfortunately, this means we will have to cancel both shows at SOPAC in South Orange, NJ on Monday, March 19 and reschedule to Wednesday, September 12.
All tickets will be honored at the new shows. Refunds are available upon request, however both shows originally scheduled for Monday, March 19 have been sold out for some time, with an extensive waiting list, so we encourage you to hold your tickets for the rescheduled date.
Twenty years after they began releasing records as the Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have politely declined the opportunity to slow down with age. With a legacy of releases and countless U.S. and international tours behind them, the Indigo Girls have forged their own way in the music business. Selling over 14 million records, they are still going strong. Amy & Emily are the only duo with top 40 titles on the Billboard 200 in the '80s, '90s, '00s, and '10s.
"Along with Simon & Garfunkel and The Everly Brothers, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers rank at the very top of all-time great duos. The sublime music-making-machine-skewering "Making Promises" is one of their finest rockers." – The Boston Herald
After signing to Epic Records in 1988, the Indigo Girls released their critically acclaimed eponymous album to thunderous praise; it remained on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart for 35 weeks, earned double platinum status, received a Grammy nomination for "Best New Artist" and won "Best Contemporary Folk Recording." They were overnight folk icons who continued to live up to the high standards they'd set for themselves: they've since released 14 albums (3 platinum and 3 gold), received six Grammy nominations and have won one. Indigo Girls have toured with innumerable star acts including Neil Young, Emmylou Harris, Joan Baez, R.E.M., Sarah MacLachlan, Natalie Merchant, Jewel and Mary Chapin Carpenter.
The duo has balanced their long, successful musical career by supporting numerous social causes – the Indigo Girls don't just talk the talk; they walk the walk. Having established an intensely dedicated fan base, the duo continues to remain relevant and attract new fans. With their latest release, Beauty Queen Sister, released on IG Recordings distributed by Vanguard Records, Emily Saliers, and Amy Ray have secured their spot as one of the most legendary musical acts of this generation.
In 2015 Indigo Girls released their 14th studio album, One Lost Day, produced by Jordan Brook Hamlin and mixed by Brian Joseph.

5 Establishments in the UP-Katipunan Area That Have, Sadly, Closed
by Beatriz Pangalangan September 11, 2020, 12:40 pm 1.1k Views
It's no news that this pandemic has affected businesses across Metro Manila. As less and less people are going out in order to protect themselves against COVID-19 and reduce transmission, restaurants and stores have been receiving less foot traffic. Many have subsequently closed their establishments.
Among those that have closed are beloved food establishments in University of the Philippines Diliman, and Katipunan. It's a sad reality for many students as places where they've studied, met new people, and held college org meetings are now gone. This is a heartbreaking realization, as we realize that the UP and Katipunan we've all grown to love is not the same anymore.
Here are some restaurants and establishments in the UP-Katipunan Area that have bid us goodbye for good.
1. The Chocolate Kiss Cafe
Photo by The Chocolate Kiss Cafe
Affectionately called Chockiss by those who frequent it, this restaurant has been a staple in UP Diliman for years. It is such a famous restaurant that their closing prompted many to share Facebook posts to "save Chockiss." Fortunately, while the they are closing their branch in UP, they still offer delivery for their to-die-for cakes at their Fairview Cake Shop.
We are overwhelmed with your show of support, love, and stories from UP and beyond. Maraming maraming salamat!!! ❤ #kuwentongchockiss #goodbyekiss

2. Bo's Coffee

Known for its Arctic-levels of air conditioning, Bo's Coffee was the number one study spot in Katipunan. With its quiet ambience, free WoFo, good coffee, and delicious desserts, it's no wonder this became a hit for study sessions and college org meetings.

3. The Rooftop

Spending a Friday night at The Rooftop seems to be rite of passage for recent college students. This is where students drank to forget the hardships of college life or to simply chill with friends. Any visitor would know that the magic of The Rooftop is its open-air space – a rarity for bars in such a congested city space. Their delicious but affordable drinks and good music have been well-worth the agonizing five flights of stairs.

4. ROKU

When craving Japanese food, this sushi restaurant was the perfect place for a quick lunch break. With its prime location in Katipunan, and tasty Japanese food, it's no wonder it stood the test of time and was a still a hotspot for hungry college students. Fear not for Roku has "decided to pause to create something more exciting for you."

5. Common Room

This quaint and unique establishment was the place where people's creative justices got working. With cute lights, trinkets, and handcrafted products, it's no wonder artists frequent this store. There was inspiration in every corner. After five years in Katipunan, however, it is sad to see them close their doors and say goodbye.
https://www.facebook.com/CommonRoomPH/posts/1551404358375914
For those who currently are or have been students in UP or along Katipunan, it is understandable that these big changes are difficult to deal with. These restaurants, businesses, and bars symbolize memories of a life that we won't be able to return to. But some would say that this is just the cycle of business. And with a cycle comes a resurgence of favorites and hot spots – old and new alike.

Lautaro Martinez believes Inter Milan need Mauro Icardi back and must resolve their ongoing issues immediately for the good of the entire squad.
The Argentine striker hasn't featured for Inter since being dropped as captain in favour of goalkeeper Samir Handanovic amid failed talks over a contract extension at the San Siro.
Icardi, who has been officially excused from Inter's matchday squads due to a knee injury, has been linked with moves to Juventus and Real Madrid recently as doubt over his future grows.
On Tuesday, Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta announced that he is hopeful the situation can "mend itself" as talks between the club and Icardi remain ongoing.
And now Martinez, who has picked up most of Icardi's slack up front for Inter over the past month, hopes to see his compatriot back in the team soon.
"It's not a great situation, neither for him nor for us who are in the squad," Martinez told TNT Sports.
"We can't do much. He must make a decision with the people working with him and around him. We're on the fringes. We're people who work like him and we're available to the club. What happens around him must be resolved with his camp and the club.
The 21-year-old joined Inter last summer in a €22.7m deal from Argentine side Racing Club and scored his sixth Serie A goal of the season in the Nerazzurri's 3-2 derby win over AC Milan last Sunday.
"I'm very happy with how things are going. I was able to play in my first Milan derby, scoring a goal and winning it," said Martinez.
"It's a truly fantastic source of satisfaction. I couldn't even sleep after it because of all the joy I was feeling.
"What's changed? Minutes, but I always try to improve every day. The process of adapting to European football takes a few months, and it also depends on the type of player.
"I certainly feel like a more complete player now, one who has learned a different type of football.

I will tell you that to start a business, you only need a computer, Internet connection, passion for the business that you are going to undertake training and constant information. You'll be your own boss and you're more time with your family, you won't have to scroll from one side to another, your business, customers, prospects, contacts will be 30 cm. you, your say as. Is that once you're on your computer that is the distance between your and she and therefore between you and the entire world. You can automate your business that you undertake to 100% by means of tools and resources that you will appoints in other articles. Robert A. Iger understood the implications. But imagine for a few seconds you get up at 10 am, prendes your computer, and you check your mail and you discover that you have livestock or$ 500 or$ 800 while you you were sleeping!. And all this was done automatically.
Your customers credit cards were processed and your money automatically deposited into your bank account. A leading source for info: Leslie Moonves. You can generate more money in one night while you sleep, your friends working a whole week. If! much money can be generated in the network when you learn the correct steps. You can not pretend to succeed in your business if you don't know the right way, nor using the appropriate tools. You can start your business on the Internet originally partially, i.e. in your free moments. Later and as you are developing your business and increasing profits, you decide to leave your work that you're doing to dedicate yourself 100% to your business over the Internet from your own home. Because like any other business, you will not have continual profits or constant, that is a process that you have to walk slowly, but so if the constant dedication is critical to reaching the expected success.
Also you will you find in this walking many people including friends and family members who will tell you that these losing time, that you are cheating, that is not legal, these bouncing your money, you're crazy to believe you're going to make money doing it, etc. But that should not be discouraged because success depends on it and you will see at the bottom a light with while you did your goal and your goals, for the good of yours and your family's birthday. As an virtual entrepreneur you're going to start, I recommend you rodees of friends and people that think like you and that motivate you reach your goals. Among the places I can recommend are forums and/or discussion groups dedicated to business and marketing on the Internet. Because nothing they are satisfactory or motivating to surround himself with people who look with the same winning vision. If you have initially fear or fear of making mistakes, it is normal, we are human and we make mistakes, also committed it the large marketeros at the beginning, but we must learn from our mistakes to not commit these same nor nor another larger. Committee therefore always it recommends you the training and constant information, because in these times strategies or techniques that served today cannot be used later because they were replaced with new ones, because in the world of the Internet will be the speed of light.


Today was different for a change.
I'm on a course for 4 days this week learning to be a First Aider so its a change to normal routine. A nice difference is that the place is just outside the city centre so I plan to walk as its only about 2 miles and usually well within my limits.
Day 1 has been (and susposed to be) fairly easy. Mostly theory and a few basic practicals. As the days go on it'll get harder and harder. Its nice to see that my basic first aid knowledge from years back is still mostly okay except that some of the techniques have been changed - which is not a surprise seeing as I learn't all that stuff a very long time ago. Anyway, so far so good. I'm getting there and the group seems very good natured. Lots of stuff to take in before we all get assessed on Thursday afternoon. In truth first aid is very much common sense which I do have (until my mad side fully clicks in anyway). Also, as I have health and safety responsibilities at work it dove tails quite neatly into this too.
I got home and then went out again (this time with car) to get my shopping done, I also stopped at a car place to get a replacement glass for my wing mirror and some more transmission fluid (my transmission has a very small leak which means I have to top the fluid off). I really should get the leak sorted - its probably just a leaky seal but if its more I don't yet have a reserve large enough to cover it.
Anyway food supplies restored, and I checked over the mass of work emails. Mostly nothing major, the one thing I already know about and reported it to the correct department as the problem is not to do with any systems I control - it just disrupts my systems.
One final thing - I need to do more walking and build my stamina back up, I have minor aches that I wouldn't expect at the mileage I did today. I though that that may be the case so I just need to plan in some walks, there's enough areas to walk in my locality and I should soon be able to afford to drive more into the peak district and do some nice walks in the countryside.

Five things we learnt at Glorious Goodwood 2018
By Geoffrey Riddle@Louchepunter
Sun 5 Aug 2018
Geoffrey Riddle was on the Sussex Downs all week for the Qatar Goodwood Festival and has five key takeways from the Glorious meeting.
Ignore claimers in big handicaps at your peril:
This is more of an ongoing note, rather than a new learning, but trainers using apprentice jockeys for classy horses in big handicaps remains a decent place to start your form study, at the very least.
Eight of the 26 runners runners in Saturday's Stewards' Cup were ridden by claiming jockeys and they rode four of the first five home, including the Exacta.
Jason Watson had the opportunity to ride 9-2 favourite Foxtrot Lady, but was instead given the chance to ride the joint topweight Gifted Master. Taking Watson's 5lb claim in to account, Gifted Master raced off 106, the same as Spring Loaded and George Bowen, and effectively 1lb above last year's winner Lancelot Du Lac.
The next big ante-post betting handicap is the Ebor, won last year by Nakeeta and Callum Rodriguez, claiming 3lb. Heartbreak City, with 5lb claimer Adam McNamara, won it the year beforehand, while Lewis Steward was still a 5lb claimer when he struck on the Knavesmire aboard Mutual Regard in 2014. It is certainly worth keeping in mind.
Goodwood sure to be a key stepping-stone to Melbourne in the future:
[(full)Watch Replay](//)
There have been six winners of the Melbourne Cup trained in Europe but none of them had set foot on the lush turf of Goodwood.
That may well be about to change in the next few years because there were mentions of the great 'race that stops a nation' several times from placed connections throughout the five days of the Glorious meeting.
With Goodwood now tied in to Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne through their new joint social media venture of World Horseracing Group, this is a bond that can only strengthen.
Godolphin's Cross Counter won the Gordon Stakes on Saturday with relative ease and is 20-1 to become another northern hemisphere three-year-old to win the Melbourne Cup, staged on the first Tuesday in November, following Joseph O'Brien's Rekindling in 2017.
Mirage Dancer was a talented winner of the Glorious Stakes and connections did not rule out a tilt down under for the son of Frankel. Red Verdon, who was second, is another likely candidate. Forgotten Voice used the 12-furlong contest as a springboard to come fourth in Melbourne in 2013, Quest For Peace won on the Downs before finishing down the field a year beforehand, and Purple Moon almost doubled up when second in Australia in 2007.
Even John Gosden was talking about it in the post-race shakedown after Stradivarius's fine Goodwood Cup success.
"You have to make a plan for the autumn" he said. "Do you go for the Melbourne Cup, carry top-weight and find yourself giving the guts of a stone to a three-year-old in November, which is tough, or do you go for the Arc which is a massively difficult task? In the Arc you need tactical speed, agility and luck, so I think we will get past York first before thinking about huge fences like that."
Mark Johnston rules the Downs:
Mark Johnston loves Goodwood (Great British Racing)
It hardly needs to be drilled in to you, but Mark Johnston rules the Downs.
The Middleham trainer, who flies himself down in his own plane, topped the trainer standings for the 12th time with five wins and saddled five seconds at 7-1, 6-4f, 7-2, 12-1, 9-2 and 5-1 joint favourite. He had four additional horses finish third and in the places at 12-1, 10-1, 10-1 and 4-1, while you would have also got a payout with some bookmakers on 14-1 Masham Star, who was fourth behind Medahim on Wednesday.
His record is partly because his horses like to race prominently, which is a tactic that is particularly suited to Goodwood, but he also picks horses that are in-form or are as fit as they can be. There are few plots here.
When receiving his prize, he revealed that his modus operandi is to strike when you can, rather than plot and plan.
He said: "We come here every year - I kept telling Charlie (son and assistant) all last week, just like Royal Ascot, you've got to take the horse where it has got the best chance - you can't save it for Goodwood."
When you consider that over the last 30 years he has run nearly 1000 horses at the course with 451 of those finishing in the first four for a profit to a £1 stake of 145.67, you ignore him at your peril.
Oisin Murphy finally feels the jitters:
Oisin Murphy has come a long way in 12 months. Last Glorious Goodwood he was in a stewards' enquiry when, live on TV, Ryan Moore aimed a sharp jibe at him.
Moore may still be top dog, having won his fifth Racing UK top jockeys' title, but Murphy rode the Downs well this week, even if he did make a curious decision to go up the far rail aboard South Seas in the Golden Mile.
I was particularly impressed by his ride aboard Lightning Spear in the Sussex Stakes; he waited for his rivals to take the initiative during the early stages, which compromised their chances, he was on their heels when he needed to be and he unleashed his mount at exactly the right time to utilize his short, but sharp turn of foot.
In a video for the British Champions Series before the race, he outlined exactly how the race would pan out, with Andrea Atzeni forced to take the lead on Without Parole, and Beat The Bank following soon afterwards. He could be one of the greats, with time and investment in his talent.
Whereas before he rode with the arrogance of youth, it is clear he is beginning to learn how to deal with real pressure.
"I never ever get nervous before Group Ones," he said after the race on Wednesday. "Before the Derby and that I like making fun of the other jockeys - but I was nervous today and down at the start I was trying to hide it. I am over the moon - what a horse! And what a training performance."
Punters finding it tough to get out of the darkness?
This is not a rant about the lack of sectional timings, which this website is a firm supporter of.
More, that with the contraction of the traditional media we are getting further and further away from what connections really think about their chances.
Social media is not often a trusted source of concrete information, increasingly companies are seeing it as a content marketing tool, and punters are possibly worse off because of this.
Take these two quotes below from connections after wins at Goodwood this week. The first from a winning owner. He said: "I expected that - I had a couple of hundred quid on each-way. He worked against an older horse on Saturday, who should have given us weight, but we gave it 19lb and whizzed right past."
The second was from a racing manager. "This horse was very impressive on his first start, and he got loose on the gallops after and just tweaked his neck, that's why he had a little bit of break. All is fine now.
"He worked nicely the other day and he is a very exciting prospect - today was the day that we'd find out what he is."
Gallops reports have never been well read, but surely that is the point - to provide the few with nugget that might give them something that helps them beat the market?
When you add in that there was betting on the Magnolia Cup, the charity race on Thursday, and that on the racecard it was not made obvious that eventual winner Harry Hurricane was in fact George Baker's decent sprint handicapper and it is clear we have some way to go in British racing.

Review: Annie (2014)
Annie (2014)
Directed by: Will Gluck
Premise: A remake of the musical. A wealthy mayoral candidate (Jamie Foxx) takes in a foster child (Quvenzhané Wallis) as a ploy to boost his campaign but he develops paternal feelings for her.
What Works: The original Annie was set in the 1930s and told the story of an orphan amid the Great Depression. The 2014 remake of Annie reimagines the story for the contemporary audience, placing it in present day New York. The way in which the material has been adapted is mostly successful and the filmmakers smartly retain the signature images, plot beats, and songs of the original musical while updating it to a contemporary setting and incorporating social media into the story. Among the admirable qualities of the new film is its speed. The movie bounds along and the action is cleverly staged and skillfully edited together, especially the early song numbers "It's The Hard-Knock Life" and "Tomorrow." The strongest aspect of the 2014 version of Annie are its central performances. Quvenzhané Wallis plays the title role and Wallis makes Annie a contemporary character. She maintains the sweetness and optimism that are associated with Annie but she also brings an intelligent sassiness to the role that makes her a lot of fun to watch. She is paired with Jamie Foxx as a billionaire businessman turned mayoral candidate. Foxx, who is channeling both Daddy Warbucks and Michael Bloomberg, is well cast in the part. Foxx has already established himself as capable of acting and singing but here he gets to do family friendly comedy and he does it well. Rose Byrne plays his assistant and the comic, dramatic, and musical requirements of the movie allows her to show off much more of her skill set than she ever has before.
What Doesn't: The 2014 version of Annie suffers from one bit of miscasting: Cameron Diaz as the villainous Miss Hannigan. Diaz is out of her depth. In the past she has been a successful comic performer but more so in R-rated fare and when she tries to be silly in Annie it often comes across as obnoxious and off-key with the rest of the film. Diaz isn't a very strong singer, especially in comparison to the people around her, and her musical performances fall short. But the problems of the 2014 version of Annie run much deeper than one miscast role. The energy of the film, which is so vibrant in the first half hour, wanes over the course of the picture. The later musical numbers are not as good as the early ones and the film runs out of steam. The problem is partly rooted in the source material. The Annie stage musical is a stupid story but it has succeeded because of some memorable songs and because its cornball sentiment is buoyed by its genuine optimism. In the 2014 version the songs and the hopefulness are not done very well and this lays bare the narrative problem of the story. There is little or nothing at stake in Annie. The title character is an orphan who is taken in by a wealthy foster father who eventually wants to adopt her. There is nothing standing in the way of these characters forming a family and living happily ever after and the efforts to create drama are transparently contrived. This is true of the original stage production but it's even more egregious in the new film. When the movie gets to its climax there is no tension and little pay off. The efforts to contemporize Annie, although cleverly done, are also problematic. The original Annie was a political text that overtly—if superficially—endorsed the Leftist politics of the New Deal. The 2014 version of Annie is politically incoherent, divvying between the New Deal politics of the original and contemporary Libertarian ideas. This strikes at the heart of what Annie is all about and the new film is a thematic mess.
Bottom Line: The 2014 remake of Annie is an admirable attempt and it's well cast but the movie is lacking in too many critical areas. It's dramatically limp and it fails to yoke the feel-good sentiment that viewers of this kind of thing will be looking for.

From Plants to Pills: Gin, Tonic and Biopiracy
Primary 33 Seely Road Nottingham, England, NG7 United Kingdom (map)
A workshop to make your own tonic water using Cinchona bark, the quinine-rich plant that gives tonic its bitter flavour. We'll try out recipes together, share a gin and tonic, and trace the story of quinine. Originally utilised by the indigenous Quechua people of South America, the bark of the Cinchona tree connects the invasion of these lands to expanding European colonialism, disease, biopiracy and pharmaceuticals.
This is the first of two hands-on workshops with artist Rebecca Beinart, exploring plant ingredients used by Boots to develop and produce medicines at their factories in Nottingham. Take a closer look at the 'exotic' ingredients Boots were importing during the era of British Empire, find connections between every-day drugs, plants, colonialism and ownership of knowledge, and explore recipes and records from the archive.
These workshops are part of Rebecca Beinart's 'Urban Antibodies' project and are supported by the University of Nottingham.

Michael Kamen
December 15, 2014 Hall of Fame
Michael Kamen's extraordinary ability to straddle the line between rock 'n' roll and classical music served him well in an era when the two sensibilities were so frequently merged. He came from both worlds: He studied oboe at Juilliard while co-founding the New York Rock and Roll Ensemble; he wrote several ballets yet frequently collaborated with such popular-music giants as Pink Floyd, Queen, Metallica, Sting and Kate Bush.
He received Oscar nominations for two songs: "Everything I Do (I Do It for You)" from ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES (1991), which hit no. 1 on the Billboard pop charts, and "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" from DON JUAN DeMARCO (1995). He also scored hits with "All for Love" from THE THREE MUSKETEERS (1993) and "It's Probably Me" from LETHAL WEAPON 3 (1992).
Kamen's most popular films were the Kevin Costner ROBIN HOOD, which earned the composer a Golden Globe nomination; the four films in the LETHAL WEAPON franchise (1987, '89, '92, '98), which featured guitarist Eric Clapton and saxophonist David Sanborn; and the first three DIE HARD films (1988, '90, '95). Other notable scores included BRAZIL (1985), THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN (1989), the first X-MEN (2000) and the miniseries BAND OF BROTHERS (2001). After scoring MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS (1995), Kamen and star Richard Dreyfuss co-founded the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation, which provides musical instruments to schools around the country. He died in 2003 at the age of 55.

West Coast Amusements was back at Lansdowne Centre for the annual outdoor carnival last week. It was the same night when I tested the GF2 but because I didn't have a backup battery for the GF2 and it ran out of juice, I ended up spending the rest of the evening taking photos using the trusty T1i.
It was fun taking night time photos. Do you go to carnivals in your neighborhood?
Dude, I really need to go out shooting with you one of these days!
Would love to hang out and take photos with you, too. When are you free?
These night shots are great. Really like the first shot.
Thanks Howie, that one is my favorite as well.

Mean Girls won't be back when Broadway reopens, producers announced today. The musical based on Tina Fey's 2004 film suspended production when Broadway went dark due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The musical, with a book by Fey, music by Jeff Richmond, lyrics by Nell Benjamin and direction and choreography by Casey Nicholaw, opened on Broadway in 2018 and grossed $124 million by the time it close in March. Plans to adapt it for a new Paramount Pictures film version were announced previously.
"We remain excited to bring this musical to the big screen, relaunch the tour and prepare for a London production," said Lorne Michaels, who produced the musical with Stuart Thompson, Sonia Friedman, and Paramount Pictures. "I look forward to the day, hopefully soon, when theaters can open their doors again."

The producers said the permanent closing was due to the ongoing Broadway shutdown. The show had recouped its $17M capitalization by early 2020.
"The chance to bring this show to Broadway, with such a talented young ensemble and five astounding female leads, has been a dream come true," Fey said on behalf of the creative team. "And to our fierce and dedicated fans – the limit of our gratitude does not exist."
At the time of the musical's final performance on March 11, it had played 805 performances and 29 previews at Broadway's August Wilson Theatre. Prior to its opening on April 8, 2018, Mean Girls had made its five-week world premiere run in 2017 at the National Theatre in Washington D.C.
A North American tour launched in 2019, with plans to resume this summer or as soon as Covid restrictions are lifted.
Mean Girls is the latest in a string of Broadway shows to announce permanent closures due to the shutdown, following Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Hangmen and Disney's Frozen.
The Broadway production's original cast included Erika Henningsen, Taylor Louderman, Ashley Park, Kate Rockwell, Kerry Butler, Grey Henson and Kyle Selig.
Broadway will remain closed at least until June, with most insiders expecting a fall start at earliest.

RTD is first in the nation to integrate Positive Train Control (PTC) technology in the actual construction of a rail system. The technology will be used on the new FasTracks commuter transit rail systems.
Commuter train crosses York St. at 40th Ave. in Denver
RTD is one of the few transit agencies, nationally, to meet Congress' original Dec. 31, 2015 deadline to integrate this technology in commuter service. Congress recently extended the deadline to Dec. 31, 2018.
The American Public Transportation Association said only 29 percent of the nation's commuter railroads would meet the Dec. 31, 2015 deadline.
See the Positive Train Control fact sheet here.
PTC provides a number of safety benefits:
Prevents unsafe speeds on train track
Prevents train-to-train collisions
Keeps trains from unsafely crossing rail switches (rail redirects)
Helps stop train-caused injuries to maintenance workers who are on or near tracks
How PTC works
PTC prevents these types of accidents through the use of a complex GPS and communications-based system called I-ETMS. The message delivery system for this technology is underground fiber optics placed along the alignment.
GPS verifies the position of the train so that the train "knows" what speed is appropriate to follow on different parts of the alignment. For example, if a train operator is approaching a curve too fast, the system will identify it. See more about how it works in the infographic below.
Train operators will be given a signal to stop the train if:
They are traveling too fast
Another train is stopped on the tracks ahead
Maintenance crews are out working on the alignment
If the operator does not respond within eight seconds, the train will automatically slow to a stop.
The Rail Safety Improvement Act originally required all Class I and commuter rail lines in the country to integrate PTC into existing railroad systems by Dec. 15, 2015. But most railroads are unable to meet that deadline, so in October Congress passed an extension to Dec. 31, 2018. President Barack Obama signed the bill into law on Oct. 29.
PTC was nationally mandated in 2008 after 25 people were killed in a train-to-train collision. The collision was caused by a train operator's failure to abide by a red light signal in Chatsworth, Calif. The collision could have been prevented by PTC technology.

Mark Robins was delighted with his players following the 3-1 victory at Wolves, but warned that focus must turn quickly onto Blackburn this Tuesday.
A second-half brace from substitute Jermaine Beckford earned Town a valuable three points after Sean Scannell had earlier levelled for the Terriers.
"The euphoria of winning is fantastic, but we need to refocus very quickly ahead of Blackburn," Mark told htafc.com.
"The performance today was excellent, akin to the one at Bolton. We added the goals and took our chances; to a man we were fantastic, apart from the first 15 minutes.
Beckford illustrated his predatory instinct to prod Town into the lead before producing a superb chipped effort to seal the points.
Sean Scannell was integral to the victory and Mark heaped praise on the young winger.
Midfielder Keith Southern returned to the fray to see Town over the line, after recovering from a long term Achilles injury.

Exodus As Dutch Middle Class Seek New Life
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, Telegraph (London), Dec. 11
For years Holland was celebrated as a symbol of racial tolerance. But two high-profile murders have changed all that.
Escaping the stress of clogged roads, street violence and loss of faith in Holland's once celebrated way of life, the Dutch middle classes are leaving the country in droves for the first time in living memory.
The new wave of educated migrants are quietly voting with their feet against a multicultural experiment long touted as a model for the world, but increasingly a warning of how good intentions can go wrong.
Australia, Canada and New Zealand are the pin-up countries for those craving the great outdoors and old-fashioned civility.
The illusion that all was well in the Netherlands died in May 2002 when Pim Fortuyn, the shaven-headed, gay populist, was shot by a Left-wing activist in the country's first political assassination since 1584.
Fulminating home truths than nobody else dared utter, Fortuyn swept on to the political stage protesting that Europe's most densely-populated country was full to bursting point, and that Muslim immigration, leavened with Salafist extremism, had reached a level where it was starting to destabilise Dutch society itself. His movement won more seats than the ruling Labour party in the 2002 elections.
Theo van Gogh, his friend and disciple, was next. The mischievous film-maker had his throat cut by an Islamic fanatic last month as he bicycled to work through the heart of Amsterdam, punished for a film about repression of women in the Muslim world.
A shrill provocateur, Mr van Gogh was not to everybody's taste. He once filmed kittens being mangled to death in a washing machine, which he thought was hilarious.
But his ritual execution, apparently by an Islamist hit squad, has shocked the country. Two leading MPs known to be targets are in hiding. The political class has been chilled to the bone, while white gangs have firebombed or attacked around 20 mosques and Islamic centres. "This was our 9/11. It was the moment the Netherlands lost its naivety. We always thought that we were the country of multicultural tolerance that could do no wrong," said Prof Han Entzinger of Rotterdam University.
Frans Buysse, the head of Buysse Immigration Consultancy, said he received more than 13,000 hits on his emigration website in November, four times the usual level. His office in Culemburg is flooded with fresh applications.
"Van Gogh's death was a confirmation for them of what they already sensed was happening," he said. "They're accountants, teachers, nurses, businessmen and bricklayers, from all walks of life. They see things going on every day in this country that are quite unbelievable. They see no clear message from the government, and they are afraid it's becoming irreversible, that's why they are leaving."
The tales range from exhaustion with Holland's epidemic of road rage incidents, to fears that it is no longer safe to go shopping.
"Van Gogh was a very public victim, but there are unknown victims on streets all the time. It's the living climate that is deteriorating. There are too many people on this one small spot of land," said Mr Buysse.
More people left the Netherlands in 2003 than arrived, ending a half-century cycle of surging immigration that has turned a tight-knit Nordic tribe into a multi-ethnic mosaic with three million people of foreign roots out of 16 million. Almost one million are Muslims, mostly Turks and Moroccan-Berbers. In Rotterdam, 47 per cent of the city's population is of foreign origin. While asylum claims have plunged, the exodus is accelerating, reaching 13,313 net outflow in the first half of 2004. Many retiring workers are moving to the south of France, but a growing bloc leaving the country appears to be educated, working families.
Peter and Ellen Bles have applied for visas to Australia after falling in love with the country during a trip there three years ago.
"People are so relaxed and open to each other there. As soon as we got home I just wanted to pack up our bags and leave," said Peter, 41, a computer operations manager for ING bank.
He was weary of the daily battles, short tempers, and coarsening manners at home. "When you want to park your car here it's almost warfare. We go to the supermarket at 8am just to avoid having to fight," he said.
A "for sale" sign stands outside their clean, airy house in Sprang Capelle, a three-hour round-trip from Amsterdam.
House prices are one third of costs in Perth, where they plan to go, but they have no jobs lined up. "We've no idea at all what we're going to do," he said.
Ellen, 43, a lawyer and banker who votes for the free-market Liberals, said the code of behaviour regulating daily life in the Netherlands was breaking down.
"People no longer know what to expect from each other. There are so many rules, but nobody sticks to them. They just do as they want. They just execute people on the streets, it's shocking when you see this for the first time," she said. "We've become so tolerant that everybody thinks they can fight their own wars here. Van Gogh is killed, and then people throw bombs at mosques and churches. It's escalating because the police and the state aren't doing anything about it.
"There's a feeling of injustice that if you do things right, if you work hard and pay your taxes, you're punished, and those who don't are rewarded. People can come and live here illegally and get payments. How is that possible?
"We didn't think about how we should integrate people, to make sure that we actually talk to each other and know each other, instead of living in ghettoes with different rules.
"It's not why we are leaving: the reason is that Australia feels different, it feels like a place where we would like to grow old," she said.
Rob Platje, 34, a sales agent in Arnhem, is leaving in February to live in the Canadian Rockies with his partner and infant son.
"In Canada people have the space to get along with each other without stress. When I'm here in traffic, I'm terrible. I'm no better than anybody else. I lose my temper in the car, and I just hate myself for it," he said.
"What I see here in the Netherlands is that people are becoming more frightened. A lot of things have been going on over the last two years. They don't know if they can trust their neighbours.
"We hid the problem for a long time because we didn't want to face up to the truth of what was happening," he said.
Unlike most earlier waves of migration to the new world, this one is not driven by penury. The Netherlands has a per capita income higher than Germany or Britain, and 4.7 per cent unemployment.
"None of my clients is leaving for economic reasons. You can't get a visa anyway if you haven't got a work record," said Frans Buysse.
Europe's leader for much of the last century in social experiments, Holland may now be pointing to the next cultural revolution: bourgeois exodus.

NATO Allies continue enduring Air Policing mission in Baltic region
RAMSTEIN, Germany - Three Allies will continue to safeguard the airspace over the Baltic with their fighter aircraft demonstrating Alliance cohesion, solidarity and deterrence. Deployments start in May.
Twoships from NATO Allies from the south are ready to take off under NATO's air policing mission in the Baltic region. From left to right: Spanish Air Force Eurofighters, Italian Air Force F-35s and Turkish Air Force F-16s. Photos courtesy the respective air forces.
At Šiauliai Air Base, Lithuania, the Spanish Air Force will lead the Baltic Air Policing mission with Eurofighter aircraft from 14th Wing stationed Albacete, Spain. In 2016, the Wing's Eurofighters already conducted the NATO mission here.
Italian Air Force F-35 fighter aircraft from Amendola Air Base, Italy, will for the first time fly out of Ämari Air Base, Estonia, and augment the mission under enhanced Air Policing. This first fifth-generation aircraft deployment shows how NATO's air forces are adapting to the mission by employing advanced technology for enduring missions.
From mid-May to September, the Turkish Air Force is scheduled to deploy their F-16 fighter aircraft and approx. 80 personnel from 6th Air Base at Bandirma, Turkey, to Malbork Air Base, Poland; after a deployment to Lithuania in 2006, the Turkish Air Force returns to the region to augment NATO's enhanced Air Policing mission.
Three Allies from the South – Spain, Italy and Turkey – are supporting NATO's Baltic Air Policing in the north demonstrating Alliance cohesion and solidarity. The Alliance is ready to continue providing security to the region through vigilance and deterrence.


The Nigerian Senate's Capital Market Committee summoned the Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov.ng) Arunma Oteh and the Interim Administrator of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE – www.nigerianstockexchange.com) Emmanuel Ikazoboh to appear at hearings on 29 November. According to a news story in the Daily Independent (www.independentngonline.com) newspaper, they felt they had not received sufficient responses to inquiries and wanted a report on activities.
The Senate has been sending queries since the 4 August dismissal of NSE Director General Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke. They also feel that the SEC acts as if it is independent of supervision, especially by the Senate. One example was that the audit of the NSE, dated October 8, was only received by the Committee a month later, unsigned by KPMG the auditor. When other queries were also not answered, the Capital Markets Committee returned the audit and the SEC reportedly said it was the best they could do.
Last week the House of Representatives Capital Market Committee summoned the two to a public hearing to discuss amendments to the Investment and Securities Act to ensure the autonomy of the SEC. There have been reactions, according to the report: The SEC has only submitted its financials to its supervisor, the Finance Ministry. This, the House reportedly said, makes it unable to effectively perform its oversight functions in the interest of national good. The last published account by the SEC is believed to be that of 1991/92.
The committee was apparently concerned "that the provisions and expenditure for board member allowances were quite significant and alarming for a public sector agency." House Capital Market Committee Chairman, Umar Jubril, reportedly disclosed that the SEC generated N16 billion (US$106 million at current exchange rates) in 2006, N13 bn (2007), N8 bn (2008), and N3 bn (2009).
However, a market source reportedly told Daily Independent that the total figure should be about N68.5 bn, judging from computations from publicly available data, including fees from private placements approved by the SEC, mergers and acquisitions, and recovery costs of proceedings.
The House of Representatives Committee on Capital Markets has also directed the SEC to reverse its decision sacking Prof Okereke-Onyiuke, according to news reports last week. The committee asked the SEC to look into her letter of voluntary retirement (16 June, to be effective 15 Dec) and allow her to proceed on her terminal leave as stated in her notice. NSE has also been ordered to forward its audited 2009 report and both first and second quarter 2010 reports to SEC for onward transmission to the National Assembly.

On the Eve of Destruction: 1991–1995 is a compilation album by the Detroit, Michigan punk rock band The Suicide Machines, released in 2005 by Noise Riot Records. It collects nearly all the tracks from the band's early releases, including The Essential Kevorkian and Green World demos, the "Vans Song" single, and other demos and rare tracks. Several of the songs were re-recorded for the band's debut album Destruction by Definition in 1996 but appear here in early, rawer forms. It was the first release from Noise Riot, a label founded by Suicide Machines singer Jason Navarro. It was the band's final release, as they broke up the following year.

Broke With Expensive Taste Joe Sweeney , December 19th, 2014 17:44
"Check my watch / I had the future in my pocket / But I lost it when I gave it to you," sings Azealia Banks on 'Chasing Time', a ticker-tape parade of a breakup song that's tucked toward the end of her long-delayed debut record, right about at the point where you realise that she's going wall-to-wall—no skits, no interludes, just 16 exceptional tracks full of glowing wordplay, instinctively catchy intonation, and effortless genre whisking. It's probably a coincidence that the song also doubles as a rallying cry for artists who feel stifled by their record labels—Banks actually recorded it in an attempt to appease hers—but it's impossible to not hear it as such. Because in the three years since the Harlem rapper landed a deal with Interscope, Broke With Expensive Taste kept getting pushed back to the point where it was becoming a punchline. The longer we had to wait, the more it felt like the East Coast Detox. But earlier this year, after Banks pleaded to get dropped on Twitter, the label eventually complied. And now, we not only get to experience her vision in full as an indie release, but we can also do it with the knowledge that it's completely uncompromised. Here, then, is a rarity, an album made more meaningful by its epically frustrating gestation period.
Broke With Expensive Taste deserves to be the next Yankee Hotel Foxtrot—the careening masterpiece that's written off by label execs, only to end up selling like crazy once it finally hits the light of day. Something that feels like a shot across the bow for artistic freedom when you buy it, even if you wouldn't dare be so flaky to think those sorts of things. It dares to enter a churning sea of genres and attitudes, and then calibrates our voyage so skillfully, it feels like we're standing upright on a speedboat with no need for the rails. Banks is always in complete control, even when she needs to sing in perfectly inflected Spanish or summon the spirit of Annette Funicello.
Her crew of mostly unfamiliar producers are equally assured in their ambitions. Pearson Sound builds the opening 'Idle Delilah' with a series of reveals—a moody drum machine becomes a swinging Latin groove, which then makes way for a punchy, lyrical guitar lick a la Tom Verlaine. Enon and Oskar Cartaya turn 'Gimme A Chance' into a killer salsa tune so seamlessly, you almost don't realise it. And on 'Soda', SCNTST crafts a beat full of cheerfully clipped robot voices; it sounds like a club remix of Mark Mothersbaugh's theme from Rugrats.
Finally, Banks's talents have gotten the extended spotlight they've deserved. Her singing is almost as accomplished as her rapping, her spot-on harmonies one of the things that makes 'Chasing Time' a dance-pop gem. But it's what she can do with 16 bars that truly amazes. No matter how quickly the syllables fly, they sound completely comfortable rubbing shoulders with each other. It's that coziness that separates the true shit talkers from the pretenders.
If you've been following her every move since 2011, you'll already know five of these tunes ('212' can't help but sound like a throwback in context, but its fire burns as greedily as ever). Yet this particular familiarity does not breed contempt. Yes, we had only been given little pieces for so long, and we were tired of it. But here is the whole puzzle in all its glory. Here are those songs we love, re-energised by the context we were dreaming they'd get. This shit is better than Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Now let's finally stop talking about it, and listen.

1987 – Howard loves this movie. He loves R. Lee Erney yelling at the new recruits. They had him as a guest in studio to yell at Howard, Robin, Fred and Artie. This was animated beautifully in a great short film. This movie is also where the sound bytes Fred uses "Me so horny" and "Me love you long time" come from.

forward contract
A contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a set price on a specified date in the future.

forward contract - Investment & Finance Definition
A non-standardized transaction to buy or sell a specific financial instrument or asset at some period in the future at a specified price. Forward contracts may be written on Treasury debt, currencies, commodities, or any number of other investments. Unlike a futures contract, which has standardized terms and can easily be traded in a secondary market, a forward contract has unique terms. Forward contracts also are subject to the credit risk factors of the counterparty, or the person with whom the transaction is done, which is eliminated in the futures market because the clearinghouse guarantees payment.

I always dreaded going to the dentist.. From the moment that you walk through the office door you are greeted by Denny.. He is so kind and such a sweet man. I actually look forward to my dentist appointment. I never used to say that. I would always tell my mom I am not going. From the moment that I made the change to see Dr Hull I have never looked back and wish that I made the change from the beginning. Dr. Hull has a very gentle way about him and always wants to know if you feel pain or aren't happy. He says I want you to tell me if you not happy, that says it all - he cares about his clients. You never feel rushed they always leave plenty of time.. Laura is amazing as well.. She always remembers which tooth paste I don't like and always makes accommodations. Laura has a vibrant way and always makes me feel I'm in good hands.
I cant say enough good things about Dr Hull, Laura and Denny. I can finally say that I have trust in my dentist and his team.
Dr. Hull, Laura and Denny are the best team! Our family including our 3 year old son all enjoy going to the dentist. It's like going to catch up with friends! They NEVER overbook, and always focus all their attention on you. ALWAYS on time! And they will always be 100% open and honest with you- if you don't need something, they won't try to persuade you to have that extra work done just to make a buck. This is an honest practice and I can't say how much their focus on customer service truly matters to our family! I recommend them to everyone.

Filips van Frankrijk, hertog van Orléans (Saint-Germain-en-Laye, 21 september 1640 — Saint-Cloud, 8 juni 1701) was de tweede zoon van Lodewijk XIII van Frankrijk en Anna van Oostenrijk. Hij was hertog van Orléans en droeg officieel de titel "Monsieur".

Als tweede zoon van de koning was Filips niet alleen een mogelijk troonopvolger; hij was ook een mogelijke bron van gevaar, en verzamelpunt voor allen die complotteerden tegen het gecentraliseerde gezag. Om te voorkomen dat Filips het voorbeeld zou volgen van zijn oom, de vorige "Monsieur", Gaston van Orléans, die voortdurend de kant van de opstandelingen tegen zijn broer koos, wat het land in lange burgeroorlogen stortte die verschrikkelijke hongersnood teweegbracht, werd de tweede Monsieur van jongs af aan als meisje opgevoed, voorbestemd tot een futiel en verwijfd leventje, ook al bezat hij vele aangeboren talenten. Zijn koninklijke broer had van zijn moeder en stiefvader, kardinaal Mazarin, dit wantrouwen met de paplepel ingekregen; hij hield zijn broer angstvallig weg van alle staatszaken. Van Lodewijk XIV wordt gezegd dat hij eens afscheid nam van zijn broer met de woorden "Jij mag je nu gaan amuseren, broertje, wij gaan nu aan het werk".

Filips toonde zich in de strijd een opvallend dapper en bekwaam legeraanvoerder; de klinkende overwinning die hij als generaal bij de Slag bij Kassel (1677) dankzij zijn strategisch vernuft behaalde was echter, verre van het respect van zijn broer te winnen, een definitieve reden voor de wantrouwige koning om hem nooit meer als bevelhebber aan te stellen of enige militaire of andere belangrijke opdracht toe te vertrouwen. Meer dan het inrichten van etiquette-regels en het inrichten van zijn paleizen werd hem niet meer vergund. Het hertogdom Orléans werd, na het overlijden zonder een mannelijke erfgenaam van de eerste "Monsieur" de broer van Lodewijk XIII, verleend aan Filips. Het hertogdom omvatte grote gebieden in het Loiregebied en domeinen, waaronder de Baronie Coucy in Noord-Frankrijk.

De hertog van Orléans resideerde meestal in het Kasteel van Saint-Cloud en liet het domein uitbreiden tot 600 hectare. In Versailles bewoonden de hertog en hertogin een groot appartement in de zuidelijke vleugel van het kasteel. Filips liet ook zijn Kasteel van Blois gedeeltelijk in de gangbare barokke stijl herbouwen. Als liefhebber van de kunsten was Filips een groot mecenas; hij hield van opera en had een aanzienlijke collectie kunst.

Over het uiterlijk van Filips op 50 jaar schreef Louis de Rouvroy, hertog van Saint-Simon, het volgende:

... C'était un petit homme ventru, monté sur des échasses tant ses souliers était hauts, toujours paré comme une femme, plein de bagues, de bracelets et de pierreries partout, avec une longue perruque toute étalée devant, noire et poudrée, et des rubans partout où il pouvait mettre, plein de toutes sortes de parfums et en toutes choses la propreté même ...

vertaald luidt dit:

... Het was een kleine mollige man, op hakken zo hoog dat het wel stelten leken; altijd opgedirkt als een vrouw, volgehangen met ringen, armbanden, juwelen allerhande overal, met een lange zwarte gepoederde pruik netjes vooraan geschikt, linten overal waar je er maar kon bevestigen, in een wolk van allerlei parfums, en alles van de grootste reinheid...

Saint-Simon beschreef het leven aan het hof van Versailles en iedereen die hij daar ontmoette met bijtende spot. Zijn beschrijvingen zijn niet gespeend van venijnige overdrijvingen en getuigen van gebrek aan respect. Afgezien daarvan droeg iedereen aan dit hof (Saint-Simon incluis ...) hoge hakken, ringen, linten en andere versierselen, en een pruik, en maskeerden vooral de heren hun gebrek aan persoonlijke hygiëne door het gebruik van sterke parfums. Prins Filips gedroeg zich ook daarin als een vrouw. Filips werd ondanks zijn homoseksualiteit tweemaal uitgehuwelijkt. Zijn eerste vrouw was zijn nicht Henriëtta Anne van Engeland. Ze trouwden in 1661. Als hertogin van Orléans of "Madame" kende Henriëtta een stormachtig huwelijk met Filips; ze bedroog haar echtgenoot openlijk met de koning, en liet zich in met politieke aangelegenheden, waarbij ze als ambassadrice naar het Engelse hof reisde, naar haar oudere broer koning Karel II Stuart. Ze stierf in 1670 een plotse dood onder onduidelijke omstandigheden, zodat aan vergiftiging werd gedacht. Later is dit vermoeden ontkend en houdt men het op een acute buikvliesontsteking ten gevolge van een blindedarmontsteking. De gebrekkige medische kennis van die tijd belette echter de geruchten definitief te ontkrachten. De relatie van Filips met zijn echtgenote, die in het begin van hun huwelijk uitstekend was geweest, was rond de tijd van haar dood totaal verkild door haar verraad. Filips had verschillende minnaars, maar zijn grootste hartstocht ging uit naar ridder Filips van Lotharingen. Omdat deze jongeman hierdoor grote jaloezie opwekte, werd hem door velen de "moord" op Henriëtte in de schoenen geschoven. Daarvan is echter geen enkel bewijs. Henriëtte kreeg na haar dood de bijnaam 'de eerste Madame'.

Een in 1666 gestorven zoon en twee dochters, Marie Louise en Anne Marie, kwamen voort uit het eerste huwelijk.

Een jaar later trouwde Filips met Elisabeth Charlotte van de Palts, in Frankrijk la Palatine genoemd, of ook Liselotte. De ruige en ongecompliceerde Duitse paste niet erg bij de verfijnde monsieur; maar ze konden het verwonderlijk goed met elkaar vinden. Deze "tweede Madame" was ook een liefhebbende stiefmoeder voor de kinderen van Henriëtte. Zij heeft in haar omvangrijke correspondentie een realistisch en plastische beschrijving gegeven van haar leven als hertogin van Orléans, en dankzij haar hebben we een tamelijk nauwkeurig beeld van het hof in Versailles gedurende de laatste helft van het leven van Lodewijk XIV. Het tweede huwelijk bracht een jonggestorven zoon (Alexander) voort, een zoon en erfgenaam (de latere regent Filips) en twee dochters. Eén dochter, Elisabeth Charlotte, was de moeder van keizer Frans I Stefan. Filips was daardoor de overgrootvader van koningin Marie Antoinette. Filips is trouwens een voorvader van alle katholieke nog regerende vorsten, en de stamvader van de huidige Franse "koninklijke" familie.

Filips stierf op 9 juni 1701, de dag na een dramatische ruzie met zijn broer over Filips' zoon, waarvan Lodewijk XIV het lichtzinnige gedrag afkeurde, juist hij voor wie vroeger geen enkele vrouw veilig was. Filips verdedigde zijn zoon zo vurig en verweet zijn koninklijke broer zo fel zijn hypocriete houding, dat hij daarmee bewees de enige in Frankrijk te zijn, die nooit had gebeefd voor de Zonnekoning. Maar de inspanning had hem zo uitgeput dat hij dezelfde avond getroffen werd door een beroerte en de dag daarop stierf. Vermits Filips voor een bedrag van 7,5 miljoen livres schulden naliet, moest zijn zoon de juwelen van zijn vader verkopen.

Kinderen
Filips kreeg in totaal zes kinderen bij twee verschillende vrouwen. Bij zijn eerste vrouw, zijn nicht Henriëtta Anne, dochter van koning Karel I van Engeland had hij drie kinderen:

 Marie Louise (27 maart 1662 – 12 februari 1689), vrouw van koning Karel II van Spanje. Zij stierf kinderloos.
 Filips Karel (16 juli 1664 – 8 december 1666), hertog van Valois.
 Anne Marie (27 augustus 1669 – 26 augustus 1728), vrouw van koning Victor Amadeus II van Sardinië en werd moeder van zes kinderen.

Monsieur kreeg bij zijn tweede vrouw, Elisabeth van de Palts drie kinderen:

 Alexander Lodewijk (1673-1676), hertog van Valois.
 Filips (2 augustus 1674 – 2 december 1723), werd regent van Frankrijk tijdens de minderjarigheid van koning Lodewijk XV. Hij was een voorvader van koning Lodewijk Filips. Hij trouwde met Françoise Marie van Bourbon.
 Elisabeth Charlotte (13 september 1676 – 23 december 1744), vrouw van hertog Leopold van Lotharingen, werd moeder van keizer Frans I Stefan.
