Mendes stages Chocolate Factory show in London
LONDON (AP) ? Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes' reinterpretation of "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory" has opened in London's West End.
Mendes' musical, based on the much-loved children's book by Roald Dahl, features new songs along with sets and costumes designed to recreate the world of the factory run by the flamboyant yet secretive Willy Wonka.
Appearing as the eccentric factory boss Willy Wonka is Douglas Hodge, while former "Young Ones" star Nigel Planer plays Grandpa Joe.
The story follows a young boy who finds a golden ticket that allows him a tour of a top-secret candy factory.
Tuesday's premiere at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane was attended by actresses Uma Thurman and Sarah Jessica Parker, who turned up with her husband Matthew Broderick and their son, James.

Patient battling cancer and insurance | wavy.com | chesapeake
CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) - A Chesapeake man is fighting two battles. One with cancer and the other with his insurance company over treatment coverage.
Jonathan Derrick of Chesapeake said he has always had health insurance, never missed a payment and never had to use it. Now, when he needs insurance coverage the most, he said he feels as if the insurance company could cost him his life.
"When you picture this, this is how we are supposed to be," said Kelli Derrick as she flipped through a photo album.
A wedding in Vegas, followed by two young boys and a business of their own -- for Kelli and Jonathan, life couldn't get better.
"We were so happy," Kelli added.
But it's amazing how fast things can change.
"There were little signs here or there," Kelli said.? "He would say he had abdominal pain, and of course as a wife I would be like 'suck it up or call the doctor.'"
That was only six months ago, six months they'll never forget.
"It's a terrible word, especially for a 35-year-old with no history of it," Jonathan added.? "I never had a clue it would happen to me."
A trip to the doctor revealed Jonathan was suffering from rectal cancer. It also moved into his liver.
"I don't want to give up," Jonathan said. "There's too much to live for."
Optima Health, the couple's insurance provider, sent Jonathan to several doctors around the area. He went through radiation and chemo, but nothing worked.
"Now he's on no treatment because his body's not responding to treatment," Kelli added.
But then a breakthrough: one of the doctors they were seeing through Optima suggested an innovative procedure called "hepatic arterial infusion," a process that could directly fight his cancer.
The doctor sent Optima a letter saying Jonathan's prognosis is grim and he should go to New York's Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center that specializes in the procedure. The letter said Sloan-Kettering has recourses that aren't available anywhere in Virginia. Optima approved Derrick to go to New York for a second opinion.
"I feel like New York is our chance for me to live," Jonathan said.
During the trip, doctor's at Sloan-Kettering set up surgery for July 2.
"Then, four days later, we get a call from Optima saying 'sorry we denied Sloan-Kettering, because we've found a doctor at the University of Virginia that performs the exact same procedure'," Kelli said.
WAVY.com made several calls to the UVA Medical Center and was told "hepatic arterial infusion" wasn't offered there, but an Optima spokesperson said it is. The Derricks said even if that's the case, they want it done by the best.
"I don't even think that there are words that can explain the anger that I feel for the insurance company," Jonathan said. "I don't know how somebody can sit behind a desk and snap their finger and say 'his life is not worth it'."
"This is just prolonging my sons having to see their father the way he was," Kelli added. "We had the hopes of having this [tumor] removed July 2. Even if UVA or any other hospital offers this, it's still not going to be within the time. We don't have time. He doesn't have time."
WAVY.com did get a statement from Optima that reads, "Optima Health works hard every day to improve the health of our members and provide them with appropriate options of care within the scope of their benefit plans. We respect the privacy of our members and will not discuss the specific medical care for any of our members."
The Derricks told WAVY.com they plan to go to New York, even if Optima doesn't pay for it. They said there are people all over Hampton Roads who are holding fundraisers to help them out. You can find more information about how to help by clicking this link .

MEXICO CITY (AP) ? This mayoral hopeful in Mexico promises to eat, sleep most of the day and donate his leftover litter to fill potholes.
Morris, a black-and-white kitten with orange eyes, is running for mayor of Xalapa in eastern Mexico with the campaign slogan "Tired of Voting for Rats? Vote for a Cat." And he is attracting tens of thousands of politician-weary, two-legged supporters on social media.
"He sleeps almost all day and does nothing, and that fits the profile of a politician," said 35-year-old office worker Sergio Chamorro, who adopted the 10-month-old feline last year.
Put forth as a candidate by Chamorro and a group of friends after they became disillusioned with the empty promises of politicians, Morris' candidacy has resonated across Mexico, where citizens frustrated with human candidates are nominating their pets and farm animals to run in July 7 elections being held in 14 states.
Also running for mayor are "Chon the Donkey" in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, "Tina the Chicken" in Tepic, the capital of the Pacific coast state of Nayarit, "Maya the Cat" in the city of Puebla and "Tintan the Dog" in Oaxaca City, though their campaigns are not as well organized as that of Morris.
Politicians repeatedly rank at the bottom of polls about citizens' trust in institutions. A survey last year by Mitofsky polling agency ranking Mexicans' trust in 15 institutions put politicians and government officials among the bottom five. Universities and the Catholic Church were the top two, respectively.
Morris' cuteness, the clever campaign and promises to donate money collected from the sales of campaign stickers and T-shirts to an animal shelter has attracted cat lovers, but Chamorro said most of his supporters are citizens tired of corrupt politicians and fraudulent elections.
"Morris has been a catalyst to show the discontent that exists in our society," Chamorro said. "Our message from the beginning has been 'if none of the candidates represent you, vote for the cat' and it seems people are responding to that."
Xalapa, a university city of 450,000 people, is the capital of the Gulf coast state of Veracruz, where residents have in last two years been beleaguered by drug violence, corruption scandals and the killings of at least nine reporters and photojournalists.
During last year's presidential election, a video posted on social networks showed a massive warehouse in Veracruz stuffed with election give-away groceries. Authorities also seized $1.9 million in wads of cash found when police decided to search passengers of a private plane arriving from Veracruz to Toluca, the capital of the home state of now-President Enrique Pena Nieto. Officials later said they had found no wrongdoing and the money was returned.
Giovanna Mazzotti, a 48-year-old university professor from the city of bright colonial buildings and steep streets, said she supports Morris' campaign and plans to go to a party for him being held Friday. The candidate is not expected to attend.
"In this state there is no rule of law, there is no respect for human rights, there are no institutions," Mazzotti said. "It's great that this campaign is showing the fiction in our elections. Every three years politicians laugh at us, it's good to laugh at them a bit, too."
Morris has a website, a Twitter account and a Facebook page with more than 115,000 'likes,' that makes him more popular in social networks than the five human mayoral contenders. Americo Zuniga, the candidate for the ruling party who is leading in election polls, had 33,000 Facebook 'likes' as of Friday.
His website has a collection of memes that picture Morris yawning while describing his "ample legislative experience," an image that mirrors photographs of lawmakers sleeping during congressional sessions.
Morris' campaign managers are asking supporters to write-in 'Morris' or draw a cat's face on the ballot to send a message to authorities, who are not taking the cat's growing popularity lightly.
Members of the Electoral Institute of Veracruz this week called on voters not to waste their vote on a cat.
"We are asking for people to participate by voting for those citizens registered on the ballots," electoral institute president Carolina Viveros told local media this week. "Everything else is part of expressions happening in social media and I respect that, but you have to vote for the registered candidates, please."
Morris also has international supporters.
On Friday, the animal-welfare group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wrote Morris congratulating him for his campaign.
Stubbs, a cat that has been the honorary mayor for more than 15 years of the sleepy Alaska town of Talkeetna, has shown support for Morris by posting his fellow feline candidate's spot campaign on its Facebook page.

Uh. Hi.
Hi.
I'm a socially awkward dork, who had to have a single-worded username because I'm hip like that. I really don't know what to say, because I lack the skills to make my posts sound entertaining and I'm also tired from stressing over things that are pretty much un-important to you guys. My ankle hurts, too, but I should stop complaining due to the fact that you're probably bored right now and I'm just talking
[typing].Okay, so like, I'm Atom, to get to the main topic of this introduction of my boring self. I'm obsessed with idiocy, where I ace at it. I tend to be irritating, so call me out if I happen to be acting like an awkward idiot when talking
[typing] to you people.So, yeah, that's about it, repetitive things, like, my personality and other things.
I like music, even though it hurts my old lady ears. That's all I'm saiyan.
I'm only seventeen if I just made you panic thinking I was some seventy year old.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RolePlayGateway/~3/6h1L4ymBhWk/viewtopic.php
