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.

Olivia Culpo Goes Clubbing Dressed Like a Sexy Taxi in a Yellow Minidress and Black Balenciaga Boots

On the heels of releasing her own 13-piece capsule collection with Marled by Reunited Clothing, available exclusively at Revolve, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo hit MNKY HSE club in London Tuesday night in a look reminiscent of a yellow taxi cab. Making us forget all about Uber, Culpo took to Instagram to show off a sultry canary yellow minidress featuring a single white stripe across the front with black buttons. The dress displayed just a hint of tanned thigh, which gave way to bold, black over-the-knee boots from Balenciaga. The statement-making spandex boot style featured a pointed-toe silhouette and sharp 4-inch heels, which pulled her outfit together seamlessly, adding just the extra oomph it needed to turn heads. She capped off the look with a small, black studded Versace bag. The beauty queen paraded the skintight, thigh-high boots down a flight of stairs in one clip on Instagram, writing “from da plane to da club.” Since...

The 6 Biggest Health Benefits Of Turmeric

The benefits of turmeric go far beyond boosting the flavour of your curry.  Here are some of the biggest (research backed) health perks of this super  spice . 1. It's a natural anti-inflammatory  Inflammation helps the body fight off viruses and repairs damage however, chronic inflammation becomes a problem as the body starts to attack its own tissues, resulting in a huge range of health problems.

Here's What I Learned When I Gave Birth Without Meds, Twice

My first experience giving birth without meds was crazy. I cried, I swore, I yelled, I called for my mom. The second time, thanks to a hypnosis training, I went into a deep relaxation between contractions. To the point that my midwife thought I was sleepingand decided to take a nap while I was on the verge of delivery. While I experienced as much pain the second time as the first, my experience was very different. Instead of anxiously panicking (and wallowing in self-pity) at the thought of the next contraction, I completely stopped resisting. I rested instead of wasting my energy being anxious. It went by easier, smoother and much faster. This isn’t an article about physical pain, though.  I’m not saying you too should go  au naturel  when you give birth or shouldn’t get shots at the dentist (I definitely get numbed up at the dentist).  The problem I’m addressing is that we freak about our emotional pain the way we do about our phy...
