After years of working seven days a week without a break for their animal charity, a couple are finally about to go on a long overdue honeymoon.
When Roy and Annie Marriott tied the knot four years ago they wore their work clothes and went straight back to work caring for rescued animals at their Little Irchester charity Animals in Need.
After spending their money on the charity's new headquarters following their move from Northampton the previous year, the couple opted for a low-key affair and no honeymoon.
But next month they will finally take a break when they fly out to the Bahamas for a 10-day holiday.
Annie, 42, said: "When we got married we went to Wellingborough Town Hall in our work clothes, then we came back and went straight back to work.
"We really wanted to get married and things were not going to permit us to have any time off.
"We had only moved to Little Irchester about one year before and we were too busy building the place up.
"I knew we would never be able to get away. We always do seven days a week – we like to keep busy."
It won't be all fun in the sun for the hard-working couple as they can't resist raising some money for their charity while they are away.
Annie will conquer her fear of sharks by diving with hammerhead and reef sharks in a bid to raise £2,000 for Animals in Need.
Her Just Giving page already boasts 31 donations and she is appealing for more.
She said: "Every year I try to do a sponsored event to raise money. In the past I have shaved my head, done a skydive and a climbed Mount Snowdon.
"I'm really scared of sharks so I thought it would be a good idea to conquer my fear. I'm excited but I am nervous about leaving the sanctuary."
They also plan to meet staff from the local animal shelter in the Bahamas.

In terms of having a pricing power on your brand, you want people to be choosing your brand for rational reasons, but if you could also (combine) that with emotional reasons, that's when you get some pricing power.feedback

We're proceeding on the basis that the purchase tax incentive ends at the end of the year.feedback

Release Date: August 26, 2011
Directed by Troy Nixey
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark is the remake of an early '70s made-for-TV horror flick about a girl who moves in with her father and is terrorized by unknown creatures. The original has gained near legendary status on the cult circuit, despite airing originally as a two part ABC special.
The film is well cast starring Katie Holmes (Thank You for Smoking) and Guy Pierce (Momento). In addition to this, the screenplay was written by Guillermo del Toro.
From what we've seen thus far, this film looks to be quite terrifying and will more than likely compete with James Wan's Insidious for the year's top horror film.

'Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.' - Neale Donald Walsch
I had the opportunity to work on this week's video feature on OMG Foodie. I was really scared but excited at the same time. It was my first time editing a video and using Adobe Premiere Pro. The video was about Print, a restaurant located in Midtown West, which promotes a strong Farm to Table culture. There was a lot of great footage to go through (shot by Joe Marte) but I had to condense over 30GB of video into 3 minutes; I had to make sure the important points in the story were included. Owner & Operator, Adam Block shared his story and passion for the restaurant industry and working with local farmers to help support the community and contributing to the restaurant industry. That being said, I def. included his mention about the full-time forager they had on staff as well as the growing relationships they had with local farms in the area. I paired the interview with the vibrant colours of the fresh vegetables and great cooking scenes. The music was chosen to reflect the lounge like environment Print gives off.
Tomorrow I'll be shooting with Joe at Eileen's Special Cheesecakes - home to one of the best Cheesecakes I've ever had. Def. looking forward to start working on this video next!

Nigeria's first Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam,
H.E. Ambassador Mazi Matthias Ojih Okafor on August 14th, 2012 presented his letters of credence to
His Excellency, President Truong Tan Sang of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam at the Presidential
Palace, Hanoi, Vietnam. He was accompanied to the presentation ceremony by three Home-based
officers: The Deputy Chief of Mission, Mr. Ayinla Babatunde Nurudeen, Minister (Political/Consular),
Mr. Stephen Vyatur Chirtau and Counsellor/ Head of Chancery, Mr. Johnson Adebowale Badewole.
At the Presidential Palace, the Ambassador was received by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs who led him and his team to meet with President Truong Tan Sang who was on standby to receive and accept the letters of credence from him.
While presenting his letters of credence, Ambassador Okafor conveyed the warm fraternal greetings and good wishes from H.E. President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GCFR) to President Truong Tan Sang. Thereafter, the host President ushered the Ambassador into the waiting room where he granted him audience where they discussed issues relating to the promotion of cordial bilateral relations between Nigeria and Vietnam.
In his welcome remarks, President Truong Tan Sang congratulated the Ambassador on his appointment as the first Nigerian Resident Ambassador to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and expressed the belief that the upgrading of the Mission to Ambassadorial level would further bolster relations between our two friendly countries.
In his response, Ambassador Okafor thanked President Truong Tan Sang for his thoughtful comments on Nigeria and promised that during his tenure, he would strive to strengthen relations between the two countries in such areas as Economics, Trade, Investment and Politics among others.
Ambassador Okafor also reminded the President that since Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, our former Head of State visited Vietnam in 2005, it was his turn to pay a similar visit to Nigeria if possible within the 1st quarter of 2013. The President replied that this visit will be worked out through usual diplomatic channel as he was favourably disposed to return the visit.

FRESNO, Calif. (Oct. 20, 2016) – In a clash between two Mountain West teams, the University of Wyoming volleyball squad came up just short in a close five-set (13-25, 25-16, 24-26, 25-20, 8-15) loss at Fresno State on Thursday evening. It was the second match this season that three different Cowgirls recorded double-digits kills.
Senior Laura Beach led the Cowgirl offense with 12 kills in what was the third-straight five-set match for Wyoming (12-9, 5-3 MW). Fellow senior Kayla Slofkiss and sophomore Emily Lewis each chipped in 11 for UW at the Save Mart Center. Beach added four total blocks, as Slofkiss recorded seven digs during the match. Senior Courtney Chacon directed the attack with 43 assists against the Bulldogs (12-8, 3-6 MW). It was the third match this season for Chacon with at least 40 assists, and she is now 16 away from 3,000 for her career.
Sophomore Reed Copeland added nine kills for the Cowgirls, in addition to two blocks. Freshman Madi Fields recorded 12 digs for UW, as junior Lily Austin posted five of Wyoming's six service aces. Austin's five service aces is not only her season-high, but also a team-high for the year. Sophomore Mattison DeGarmo added three kills for UW, while freshman Tara Traphagan smashed home two. Traphagan also had three digs and two blocks against Fresno State on Thursday night.
The match started out back and forth in the opening set before Fresno gathered three-straight to move up, 6-3. UW called its first timeout with the Bulldogs in front, 10-7. Fresno State then went on to grab 15 of the last 21 points to close it out, 25-13. Chacon, Slofkiss and Lewis each recorded two kills in the first frame for Wyoming.
Wyoming's perseverance shined early in the second set, as UW jumped out to a 4-1 lead. Beach's first four kills of the night came early in the second set, as she helped the Cowgirls jump out to a 10-6 advantage. An attack error from Fresno State made it 18-11. The Cowgirls rallied for seven of the next 12 points to take the second stanza, 25-16. All tied at one heading into intermission, Beach totaled a team-high six kills, while Chacon recorded 15 assists.
Neither team held a lead larger than one in the third set until the Bulldogs were up by two, 10-8. Back-to-back kills from the Cowgirls brought Fresno State's lead back to two, 13-11. Then three kills from Lewis and another from Copeland tied things at 19. A block from Beach and Slofkiss tied the third set score at 24, before Fresno State called timeout. The Bulldogs claimed the final two points to take the third, 26-24, and a 2-1 set lead heading into the fourth set.
The Cowgirls moved out in front 4-1 to begin the fourth set. A kill from Beach helped spark UW's offense once again and jump out to a 10-7 advantage. The rhythm remained for UW, as the Cowgirls would hold leads of 20-16 and 23-18. Another kill from Lewis and then a service error from Fresno State helped Wyoming clinch the fourth set, 25-20.
The Bulldogs climbed out to a 5-2 lead in fifth and final frame, before UW called a timeout. Wyoming inched its way back trailing, 5-6, before the Bulldogs claimed four-straight points. Two kills from Fresno State sealed the fifth set, 15-8, and the victory for the Bulldogs.
Wyoming next travels to San Jose State for a 2 p.m. MT matchup on Saturday.

We all know that furniture is important to home decor, regardless of the style of the furniture. It is hard, however, to find nice furniture at good prices. The following information will help you learn more about the furniture shopping process.
Shop for used furniture to save money and get quality pieces. Many times you can find furniture that an individual no longer needs for a great price. You can either shop at used furniture stores, from the newspaper, on Craigslist or any other place where people sell the furniture they no longer want.
When it comes to wood furniture, make sure to carefully read your manufacturer's care directions carefully. The finishes, waxes, and other treatments differ by brand, type of furniture, type of wood, etc. Reading these instructions will help you keep your furniture in pristine shape for a long time and help you avoid damage from improper cleaning.
Depending on what kinds of pets you have, consider leather furniture. Often, fur, pet hair and dander just all goes down to the floor. There, you can easily sweep or vacuum it up. Furniture cleaning is then a breeze, as you often just have to gently wipe down your furniture.
Avoid furniture held together by nails and glue. Look for furniture that has been properly joined at the corners, not simply nailed together. This shows quality of construction and ensures your piece will stand the test of time. They are also more sturdy, and can handle bearing more weight than cheaper methods.
Try more than one store. Instead of heading into a store and picking whatever is there, commit to going to more than one store before you make a decision. This will allow you to get what you really want and will give you a few options so that you have more to choose from.
Start your search on the internet. You may end up going to a brick and mortar store for your final purchase, but starting online is good for a few reasons. First, you can get an idea of what the price range will be, and you can also find specific pieces you ultimately buy.
You may find furniture at a bargain price but if the quality of it isn't good then you could be wasting money. It is a better idea to invest a little more to buy furniture that will last rather than something that will break and need to be replaced many times.
Never make rash furniture buying decisions. These are big ticket items you're talking about here. They are pricey to buy, and a real pain to return once they are in your home. Look into all of your options before making this big decision. It'll save you a lot of hassle.
Prior to going furniture shopping, you should ensure that you work out what your spending limit is. It is a known fact that similar furniture items can range in price dramatically. You might wind up spending a lot more than you should if you don't go into the process with a realistic idea of what you can spend. Figuring out what you're able to spend in the beginning will help you to curb how much cash you part with.
Have you looked online for furniture? This might not be traditional, but the pricing can be much better. Most of these retailers will also offer free delivery. This can save you money and time, so consider this option.
Visit furniture consignment stores when you want gently used furniture at a great price. A lot of furniture in these places were used to stage model homes. After the models are sold, the furniture usually end up in consignment centers. If you look hard enough, you can sometimes find high-end furniture at a very affordable price.
When you are considering buying a used piece of furniture, give it a test drive. You want to thoroughly inspect every little detail about the furniture. You're looking at the furniture to ensure that it's sturdy and doesn't have any damage that you don't originally see. By looking at the bottom, you can also find indications about the manufacturer, which may help you to evaluate the quality of the piece.
If you need to purchase furniture for your entire house, ask to see if your furniture store offers a multi purchase discount plan. One benefit to shopping at one store for all of your furniture is that you can mix and match and see if the furniture looks good together.
Know the space you are shopping for extremely well. It's hard to buy furniture for a room you barely know. If you aren't sure of the height of your walls, the other furniture that's in there, and how it all works together, get in the room and spend some time there. It'll help you make smart decisions.
When shopping for furniture online, don't forget to calculate shipping and handling charges into the overall sales price. What looks like a fantastic deal might actually cost more than buying locally because of shipping and handling. Also, if you find a deal online, take it to your local furniture store to see if they will meet or beat the online price.
Before you purchase a piece of furniture, make sure you check its drawers and cabinets. You want to ensure the drawers and cabinets will open and close properly. If they do not, you should not purchase the furniture. You should also inspect the handles and knobs to ensure they fit tightly and do not jiggle. If any jiggling occurs, this is a sign that the furniture is not put together properly.
When shopping for new furniture, do not hesitate to haggle for a better price. Many people think of furniture prices as being fixed, but this is not the case at many stores. Many people are willing to give you a better deal as long as they think it is reasonable.
Filling a house with furniture can be a truly daunting challenge without the right information. You have to educate yourself about the process before you shop. Use this resource to help guide you the next time you are shopping for furniture.

Last Christmas my Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) was at its worst. (Not that I even knew what POTS was at that point let alone that I had it.) I knew I had something wrong with me I was so dizzy all the time and was so weak and I couldn't even walk upstairs without getting out of breath and my heart rate would jump up to crazy levels every time I moved. Once I got diagnosed in March it all began to make sense and over the last nine months I have learnt about all the little things I can do to help improve my condition and lessen the likelihood of major flare ups. These are some of the best things I own that help me on a day-to-day basis that any new POTSies should have on their christmas list. The holidays are a difficult time to be managing any chronic illness hopefully these will make the new year a little easier. I wish I'd had many of them earlier:
1.A Shower Stool.
My mum got me this for my 21st Birthday and as she put on the tag it was 'a very strange 21st birthday present' but it was probably the best and most useful present I got. It was on my list and it was on there for a reason and it has really helped me. POTS symptoms can be made worse by heat, standing and having your hands above your head. This makes showers really hard work as well as palpitations I get awful blood pooling in my feet which is really uncomfortable, my feet are often purple and red blotches can rise all the way up my legs. Having a shower stool takes away the standing element and although I still get a little pooling in my feet it has really helped me shower more confidently and independently.
2. A Hairdryer Stand.
This was one of the first things I bought to help counteract my POTS, mainly because I was sick of my boyfriend's awful hairdressing skills (Bless him he tried :P).My hair is long and thick ad takes ages to dry at the best of times so this simple gadget has helped immensely. Again the mixture of heat and holding something heavy above your head can make you really symptomatic; when I was at my worst it was literally impossible so I bought a stand to hold my hair dryer so I can dry it hands free and it makes life so much easier and less symptomatic. I no longer dread washing my hair.
3. Handbag/Pocket sized Salt.
My Stepdad got me an amazing little salt pot that fits neatly in the pocket of my handbag when I was first diagnosed and it's great. If you need to add a little salt to your food whilst you're out and about and there's none available. It may not be suitable for everyone with POTS to add salt to their diet so speak to your specialist out it.
4. Blood Pressure Monitor
Blood pressure medication can be key to helping with some people's POTS symptoms but after getting it prescribed many people are left to titrate it up on their own. If you have a blood pressure monitor it can give you a good idea of what is normal for you and you can tell if something is helping/changing or not. Also many people's blood pressure readings aren't accurate when they see a doctor as stress or anxiety can boost blood pressure, if you can get more accurate readings at home and directly relate them to symptoms you can show these to your doctor and they can have a better idea of what it is like day-to-day. In my experience Blood pressure monitors also have much more accurate heart rate functions than smart phone apps or fitness watches.
5. A good water bottle with a sports cap
Hydration is key when it comes to POTS. It's the closest I get to feeling like a mermaid
with the amount of water I get through. When I'm feeling at my worst a bottle of water is a big rescue. Normally a glass or open top bottle is fine but when I can't do anything but lie flat the sports cap is really important so I can stay hydrated when I just can't get up.
6. Compression Sock or Tights.
These may not be the most comfortable and they are really difficult to get on an off
especially if, like me, you also have EDS. But they do help improve the blood flow in your legs and improving your symptoms. They're also a good extra layer on freezing cold days.
7. A handheld battery-powered fan.
Now I know this isn't going to help right now because it's already cold outside but you'll
thank me when the summer comes around again. This summer I had finally got the balance of my medication right but then the heat hit and I was pushed two steps back. So be prepared and have it early to survive summer 2017!
Other Great Ideas From Readers:
- Katherine on Facebook said: 'I would add a bar stool for the kitchen. I wouldn't do without mine!'. I actually have a little one on wheels on my christmas list! However much I enjoy cooking it is sometimes the last thing you feel like doing when you're feeling rubbish at least being able to sit down whilst prepping and cooking would make it so much easier! Great Idea Katherine, Thank You.
- Scott on Facebook said: 'I would also invest in an Ipad/tablet and Netflix as you'll be spending a lot of time lying down or in and out of A&E in the beginning so you need something that helps pass the time.' This is another great idea! fortunately I had entertaining flatmates to get me through my first couple of long A&E visits but I also spent the first few months in bed watching a lot of Netflix (Every series of Merlin and Ratatouille on repeat to help me sleep, random I know) so put a netflix gift card on your list! When I was recently in hospital for my ICP monitoring books were great, I read Giovanna Fletcher's 'You're the one that I want' in 2 days, but in the beginning I found it way too difficult to concentrate on a book but if you can handle it get some good ones on your list too. Thank You Scott!
Happy Holidays Everyone and Here's to a happy, as healthy as possible, New Year 2017!
If you have some even better things to add to the list that have helped you put them in the comments below and I will add them 🙂

A delightfully dishy novel about the all-time most impossible boss in the history of impossible bosses.
Andrea Sachs, a small-town girl fresh out of college, lands the job "a million girls would die for." Hired as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-profile, fabulously successful editor of Runway magazine, Andrea finds herself in an office that shouts Prada! Armani! Versace! at every turn, a world populated by impossibly thin, heart-wrenchingly stylish women and beautiful men clad in fine-ribbed turtlenecks and tight leather pants that show off their lifelong dedication to the gym. With breathtaking ease, Miranda can turn each and every one of these hip sophisticates into a scared, whimpering child.
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA gives a rich and hilarious new meaning to complaints about "The Boss from Hell." Narrated in Andrea's smart, refreshingly disarming voice, it traces a deep, dark, devilish view of life at the top only hinted at in gossip columns and over Cosmopolitans at the trendiest cocktail parties. From sending the latest, not-yet-in-stores Harry Potter to Miranda's children in Paris by private jet, to locating an unnamed antique store where Miranda had at some point admired a vintage dresser, to serving lattes to Miranda at precisely the piping hot temperature she prefers, Andrea is sorely tested each and every day—and often late into the night with orders barked over the phone. She puts up with it all by keeping her eyes on the prize: a recommendation from Miranda that will get Andrea a top job at any magazine of her choosing. As things escalate from the merely unacceptable to the downright outrageous,however, Andrea begins to realize that the job a million girls would die for may just kill her. And even if she survives, she has to decide whether or not the job is worth the price of her soul.
Soon after Bette Robinson quits her horrendous Manhattan banking job like the impulsive girl she's never been, the novelty of walking her four-pound dog around her unglamorous Murray Hill neighborhood wears as thin as the "What are you going to do with your life?" phone calls from her parents. Then Bette meets Kelly, head of Manhattan's hottest PR firm, and suddenly she has a brand-new job where the primary requirement is to see and be seen inside the VIP rooms of the city's most exclusive nightclubs. But when Bette begins appearing in a vicious new gossip column, she realizes that the line between her personal and professional life is...invisible.
The bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada and Everyone Worth Knowing is back with a delicious new novel about a trio of best friends in Manhattan who agree to change their lives in the most personal and dramatic way possible and within one calendar year.

We arrived in Toronto in August, 1972, back from a four-year stint in small-town New Jersey, and I couldn't believe my luck. Our new apartment was located just around the corner from The Donut Shop, which, according to the sign in the window, sold the best donuts in town!
My only experience had ever been limited to the shrink-wrapped suburban variety, and here I was living right next to The Best Donuts in Town!
Except for two problems: eleven-year-old boys didn't buy their own donuts on Yonge Street in 1972, and I had yet to realize advertisements aren't always true.

Previously at the ICA - Films
19 Nov 2015
Gamekeeper Miller (Zachary Scott) and Evalyn (Key Meersman), a young and naïve orphan girl, live on a southern island of the United States of America where black jazz musician Travers (Bernie Hamilton) arrives hoping to evade those who have falsely accused him of raping a white woman.
Based on the story Travellin' Man by Peter Matthiessen, The Young One deals with issues of racism and rape within a complex frame where human beings are shown as being simultaneously capable of both good and evil. The film won the special Jury Prize at Cannes Film Festival in 1960 for its ability to cast aside Manichaeism, instead taking an unusual approach to overcoming prejudices, taboos and stereotypes.
Shown in 35mm.
