Monumental Sports keeping Metro open late Thursday, and more Caps news ahead of Game 5




The Washington Capitals will be some 2,400 miles away for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, but thousands of fans will still pack the District to watch it — and the team’s owner is making sure they can get home.
Ted Leonsis’ Monumental Sports & Entertainment has agreed to cover the $100,000 to keep Metrorail running one-hour later than normal — that is, until about 1 a.m. The Capitals game starts at 8 p.m., but if the team defeats the Las Vegas Golden Knights, the party will be hours long as D.C. celebrates its first championship in many years.
This is the first time Metro has agreed to stay open late for an away game. But this is no normal away game.
As it has for all previous away games, Capital One Arena will host a viewing party Thursday night, but the free online tickets, made available Wednesday at 1 p.m., were gone in minutes. More than 70,000 people logged in, Monumental said in a statement, when the tickets became available.
The party will shift outdoors for many, to the jumbotron set up at Eighth and G streets NW, to The Wharf, the Bullpen outside Nationals Park, the U.S. Navy Memorial and elsewhere.
Also Thursday, the D.C. Circulator will run for free on all routes beginning at 6 p.m. and continuing to the close of service.

They have both taught their little daughters how to defend themselves and look fantastic while doing it. Let’s look at Dolph and Ida first Just like Dolph’s character in Rocky IV, Ivan Drago, his 21-year-old daughter Ida was asked to show off her amazing skills on the boxing ring as well. And, boy, did she deliver! In this photoshoot for Muscle&Fitness, Dolph is probably showing Ida some secret moves and teaches her about the weak spots and how important the footwork is. Maybe he even told her how to beat Sylvester Stallone. Or maybe I’m imagining thing. These days Ida is an aspiring young model, but she’s got a long way to go to be as popular as her dad. She may look like a frail girl most of the time, but don’t let her cute looks fool you! Ida can and

What Your Birth Order Really Reveals About You

Birth order has a great influence on child development, specifically because parents tend to raise each sibling differently—which can be both good and bad. But before you go blaming your parents, read on to see if it stands true for you, as there are mitigating factors. Eldest children are leaders Eldest children tend to be ambitious, driven leaders. "The firstborn gets a lot of focus and attention as there are no other children for distraction," says child and family therapist Meri Wallace, LCSW, author of Birth Order Blues. "The child can get lots of teaching, and so can grow up to feel very self-confident and strong enough to be a leader." This leadership role was noted by Alan Stewart, psychologist at University of Georgia, in his 2012 definitive analysis of birth order studies.
