This week the UFC will hold two free events on Fox Sports 1. On Wednesday, the UFC will be at Fort Campbell for the third installment of UFC Fight for the Troops. The card is headlined by former Army Ranger, Tim Kennedy, against Middleweight contender Rafael Natal.
On Saturday night, the UFC will be in Goiânia, Brazil for UFC Fight Night 32. In the main event, Vitor Belfort will face off against Dan Henderson. This fight is a rematch from Pride 32 in 2006, where Henderson defeated Belfort by unanimous decision. Belfort is currently on a two fight winning streak, while Henderson is on a two fight losing streak.
With two events in one week, many fans were hoping for a brand new Dana White video blog. Ask and you shall receive! This week we are treated to some fantastic behind the scenes footage at UFC 166.
Among the highlights are appearances by Urijah Faber and Anthony Pettis in a Metro-PCS commercial. Chad Mendes, Kelvin Gastelum, and Fabricio Werdum also make short appearances.
Dwight Howard and Chandler Parsons have a discussion with Dana White about how much money it would take for them to fight in the UFC. In the video Dwight Howard says he would fight for 10 million dollars and Dana White responds 'I want to do that pay-per-view when your ready".
The best part of the video has got to be the discussion between Gilbert Melendez and Diego Sanchez after the incredible battle the men had just been through. The video is a must watch for that scene.

Day 29: Make up your own short fanfic using Doctor Who animated GIFS?
I am new to Tumblr and I don't know how to make GIFS or how to save them, so I'll use pictures.
The Doctor looked out of the TARDIS door sadly.
Once again he was alone.
He turned back to his precious machine and thought, I will always have her.

Very good and quick meal! Will definitely make again. However, I think it needed a bit more of the apricot flavor. It also tasted a bit dry. I will try adding a bit more apricot preserves and oil next time.
Couscous with Apricot Vinaigrette

Made as directed except I only used 2 tablespoons of olive oil for a lighter side dish since we were serving with salmon. No need to use all of the oil - very light and flavorful, with just a hint of sweetness!
Craig84 Posted: 03/29/11
Didn't have any apricot jam in the house so used a mango and chilli chutney left over from my curry night. Added some chopped satsuma segments and corriander as well and it's AMAZING! Thank you for the recipe!
JeffAxelrod Posted: 08/20/11
Delicious. A nice sweet change for couscous. I think it might be good with some goat cheese and tomatoes added as well.
daneanp Posted: 10/29/13
This was just ok for my family. I did cut the oil in half. DD didn't like the vinegar taste. I wasn't big on the almonds. Probably won't make again.

She is as wierd as a paranormal show too. ugh!
i think aj looks like the geico gecko and pittiful looks oily and bloated.
Did they all had the same makeup artist who forgot to bring lipsticks????? They all looked half way done - washed out or maybe they think with their plump up lips they do not need lipstick! Well wrong almost all of them looked washed up - who ever told them this is in - think again - look at the pictures.
OMG - I have never seen such a collection of extremely UGLY dresses. There are perhaps 4 that are flattering. LMAO.

What do you give math students who've just run more than three miles in tribute to the ratio between a circle's circumference and diameter?
The solution is simple. You give them pie.
That's what Nebraska Wesleyan's Math Club did on March 10 (the Saturday before the official Pi Day of 3/14). Dozens of runners and walkers started off from Olin Hall of Science at 10 a.m. Those who completed their 3.14-mile circle around campus had their choice of perfectly round apple, strawberry, rhubarb, cherry or pumpkin pies waiting for them at the finish.
Assistant Professor of Mathematics Rebecca Swanson coordinated the event that Associate Professor of Mathematics Melissa Erdmann aptly called "irrational fun."

Perhaps Wolverhampton fans should take lessons from Brentford fans on how to properly invade the pitch, because on Friday they almost cost their club the match for spending too much time on the field.
The Wolves defeated Rotherham in a wild 6-4 victory, but it wasn't without frequent interruption.
The invasions started small…
Hundreds of fans from the South Bank storm onto the pitch to celebrate. But they're getting off pretty quickly.— Tim Nash (@TimNash_star)April 18, 2014
Jacobs shot hits the sidenetting and there's another mini pitch invasion. The rest of the South Bank let them know what they think of them.— Tim Nash (@TimNash_star)April 18, 2014
…but slowly got more and more out of hand, and eventually resulted in two huge invasions in the final minutes of the match:
Luckily for the club and that obnoxious group of fans, the referee was incredibly patient, because the madness could have cost them the match.
Now comes a PA announcement that the ref will abandon the game if the fans invade the pitch again.— Tim Nash (@TimNash_star)April 18, 2014
Wolves have said they expect a fine, and condemned the fans, but let's be honest: they're just as excited as everyone who ran onto the pitch on Friday. After all, they're going back to the Championship!

Find Out Why Shia LaBeouf Is Crying and Wearing a Paper Bag Over His Head
February 12, 2014 Hot Topics
Shia LaBeouf is wearing a paper bag on his head again, but this time it's for a performance art installation called #IAMSORRY.
The performance art involves Shia sitting at a table wearing a tux and his now famous "I Am Not Famous Anymore" bag over his face. The public is invited to choose from a selection of props and sit across from Shia one at a time. While he doesn't speak, the actor reportedly has shed many tears.
This is Shia LaBeouf (@thecampaignbook) crying at his weird L.A. art project thing http://t.co/CEQJEpfVQL pic.twitter.com/xOiMK9vyHu
— Marlow Stern (@MarlowNYC) February 11, 2014
Shia's show is likely a take on artist Marina Abramovic's most famous works: "Rhythm 0" and "The Artist Is Present."
In recent months, the troubled actor has been accused of plagiarism, headbutted a man in a bar brawl and stormed out of a press conference. On Sunday, he wore the same tux, bag combo to a "Nymphomaniac" premiere in Berlin.
Stars are already poking fun at Shia's art show. See what Jerry O'Connell and Emile Hirsche had to say.
Shia will be at the Cohen Gallery through Sunday, between the hours of 11 AM and 6 PM.

Hoosiers will soon be allowed to carry a weapon that has been banned for more than sixty years in the state. Starting July 1, automatic spring-loaded knives, or switchblades, will be legal in Indiana.
Switchblades have been illegal in the state since 1957, but a provision in a hunting and fishing bill passed earlier this year removes the ban.
Sergeant Christ Yagelski with the Michigan City Police Department said in a written statement that it is an obsolete law. There is very little difference between the illegal spring-loaded switchblade of the past and the one-handed, spring-assisted handheld knives that are legally on the market and widely sold today," said Sgt. Yagelski.
The same law allows hunters to us suppressors, also called silencers, on guns while hunting.

The Time of Our Lives
The project of all philosophy may be to gain reconciliation with time, even if not every philosopher has dealt with time expressly. A confrontation with the passing of time and with human finitude runs through the history of philosophy as an ultimate concern. In this genealogy of the concept of temporality, David Hoy examines the emergence in a post-Kantian continental philosophy of a focus on the lived experience of the "time of our lives" rather than on the time of the universe. The purpose is to see how phenomenological and poststructuralist philosophers have tried to locate the source of temporality, how they have analyzed time's passing, and how they have depicted our relation to time once it has been—in a Proustian sense—regained.
Hoy engages with competing theoretical tactics for reconciling us to our fleeting temporality. After discussing Kant's interpretation of time and Heidegger's productive misreading of Kant, Hoy examines the work of Hegel, Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Nietzsche, for theories of the present; draws further lessons from Gadamer, Sartre, Bourdieu, Foucault, and Bergson about the past; and analyzes in addition philosophers Deleuze,
About the Author
David Couzens Hoy is Distinguished Professor of Philosphy Emeritus at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He is the author of Critical Resistance: From Poststructuralism to Post-Critique (MIT Press, 2004).
"Drawing on years of immersion in the major traditions of continental philosophyphenomenology, hermeneutics, critical theory, and genealogyDavid Couzens Hoy has produced a remarkable meditation on the implications of each for the perennially vexed question of temporality. In clear and straightforward prose, he induces the reader to slow down and take the time to ponder the paradoxes of our lives lived in the present, yet haunted by the past and hopeful of the future."
Martin Jay, Sidney Hellman Ehrman Professor of History, University of California, Berkeley
"The Time of Our Lives is David Hoy at his best. The book is eclectic yet incisive, ambitious yet well realized, complex yet readable. Hoy not only offers a compelling defense of genealogy as a mode of critique, his critical history of temporality also beautifully exemplifies the fruitfulness of genealogical critique."
Amy Allen, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Women's and Gender Studies, Dartmouth College
"Most treatments of time are either superficial and clear or deep and obscure. David Hoy has managed to write a genealogy of modern philosophical discussions of temporality that is both deep and clear. In the process he shows the utility of Foucault's thought to modern philosophical discourse."
Hayden White, Professor of Comparative Literature, Stanford University

Reviewers at T3 really wanted to like Sony's NWZ-W273, but despite their comfortable and secure fit while running or in the gym and fantastic battery life, they didn't deliver when they were tested underwater, since the earbuds kept popping out, and what's worse, once water got into them, they stopped working properly, this defeating their whole purpose.
Opinions (432)
Sony NWZ-W273 Walkman T3 4/2013 - MP3 players for use while running or working out are pretty common nowadays, but if you're into swimming or any other aquatic activities your choices are far more limited, so the launch of Sony's NWZ-W273 Walkman should be good news.

Gunman kills one, three wounded at Christian college in Seattle
SEATTLE (Reuters) - A man armed with a shotgun opened fire on Thursday at a small Christian college in Seattle, killing one person and wounding two others before he was subdued by a group of students and arrested, Seattle police and hospital officials said.
A fourth person was injured in the struggle with the gunman, police said.
The Seattle Police Department said via Twitter that Aaron Ybarra, 26, had been booked into King County Jail for the shooting at Seattle Pacific University.
The lone suspect, who was not a student, entered an academic building of the university in the late afternoon and shot three people, police said.
He was disarmed as he paused to reload his gun and was pepper-sprayed by a student security guard.
"Other students jumped on top of them, and they were able to pin the shooter to the ground until police arrived" minutes later, police Captain Chris Fowler told reporters on the scene.
Americans are engaged in a protracted debate over gun control regulations after a series of shootings in public places such as schools and theaters. On May 24, a 22-year-old gunman killed six people before taking his own life in a rampage across a California college town. [ID:nL1N0OA09E]
One eyewitness in Seattle, Chris Howard, a 22-year-old junior, told Reuters he was in a classroom when one of the male victims rushed in bleeding from the neck and told students to lock the doors.
Stepping outside the classroom moments later, Howard said he saw the gunman lying on the floor with the student security monitor on top of him, surrounded by bullet shells, and saw a second victim with a tourniquet tied around a bleeding arm, being assisted by another student.
He was armed with a gun and a knife and extra ammunition, police said.
The suspect could face a murder charge, Fowler told an evening news conference.
A representative of Harborview Medical Center in Seattle said four patients from the shooting were brought to the hospital and that one, a man in his 20s, had died.
Two other men, aged 22 and 24, were listed in satisfactory condition, and a 20-year-old woman was listed as critical and undergoing surgery, the hospital official said.
One of the men suffered pellet wounds to his neck and chest and the other suffered minor injuries, police said.
Further details of the shooting in the upscale Seattle suburb of Queen Anne, a residential neighborhood, were not immediately clear, and authorities did not offer an explanation for any motive behind the gun violence.
Another student, Blake Oliveira, 21, who was taking a physics course in Otto Miller Hall at the time, told Reuters he heard a gunshot outside the classroom, followed by the sound of running footsteps, which he presumed to be the gunman.
His professor instructed the students to stay put in the classroom, and the door was locked, Oliveira said.
Seattle Pacific University is a Methodist liberal arts college about 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Seattle's downtown, with about 4,000 students enrolled.
The college website said students are subject to disciplinary action for such behavior as extramarital sex or homosexual activity and for the possession or use of alcohol.
Students could be seen embracing and otherwise consoling one another on campus, some crying as they recounted hearing a gunshot. An evening prayer service was being held at a campus church.
"We're a community that relies on Jesus Christ for strength and we'll need it at this time," said Seattle Pacific University President Daniel Martin.
(Addititional reporting by Bill Rigby, Deepa Seetharaman from Seattle, and Cynthia Johnston from Las Vegas; Writing by Steve Gorman and Eric M. Johnson; Editing by Sandra Maler, Jeremy Laurence and Sonya Hepinstall)
"The college website said students are subject to disciplinary action for such behavior as extramarital sex or homosexual activity and for the possession or use of alcohol."
"…this rampage of school shootings falls squarely on the shoulders of our news medias."
This rampage of school shootings falls squarely on the shoulders of the NRA/GOP. who for purely ideological reasons make it easier, and easier, and easier, for idiots to get hold of guns.
It is no coincidence that the USA is the only civilised country that lets citizens carry guns in public, the only civilised country that has stand your ground laws to protect killers, the only civilised country that doesn't make it obligatory to store guns at home unassembled and locked in a safe, has the lowest barrier to obtaining a gun, and also has the highest incidence of mass shootings.

Don't Take a Long Walk off a Short Pier
Dan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Pier 1 Imports (NYSE: PIR) has seen stock appreciation of approximately 240% over the past three years. It has outperformed both Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY) and Williams-Sonoma (NYSE: WSM) over the same period, which have seen gains of approximately 99% and 137%, respectively. However, this doesn't mean Pier 1 Imports is likely to be the best investment option going forward.
The housing market
Obviously, all these companies perform better when the housing market is improving. And while mortgage rates had been increasing, they have now declined two weeks in a row. Still, this is generally bullish for all involved.
The 30-year fixed rate currently stands at 4.20%. This is excellent news for the housing market and it should help to maintain demand. While its impossible to predict how long rates will stay low, based on recent trends, it looks as though they should remain below 6% for the remainder of this year. Research shows, as long as rates are below 6%, demand will be high.
According to National Association of Realtors, existing home sales declined 1.2% year over year in June, but this trend has the potential to reverse itself thanks to the recent decline in rates.
Online presence
According to Alexa.com, Pier1.com ranks No. 1,983 in the United States for online traffic. Page-views per user have declined 4.79% over the past three months, but this stat may be related to an anticipated decline in the housing market. Now that rates have dropped, this decline should be postponed.
Regardless of trends, Pier 1 doesn't have as much online exposure as peers. For instance, Bedbathandbeyond.com has an online traffic rank of No. 350 in the United States, and Williams-sonoma.com has a rank of No. 1,407. Which makes sense because Pier 1 Imports is much smaller than its competition.
Company culture
According to Glassdoor.com, Pier 1 employees have rated their employer a 2.9 of 5, which is subpar. An unimpressive 49% of employees would recommend the company to a friend, and only 63% of employees approve of CEO Alex W. Smith. The most common complaints from employees include: a high turnover rate, not enough hours, low pay, and being trained to push the company's credit card, which annoys customers.
These are all negatives, but if you're looking at it from an investing standpoint, then you want labor costs to be low and you want that credit card to be pushed. However, happy employees make for happy customers, and if the credit-card pushing is extreme, then it will annoy some customers enough that they won't return.
Bed Bath & Beyond and Williams-Sonoma also score low on Glassdoor.com, coming in with employee ratings of 2.8 and 2.9, respectively. The negative comments for Bed Bath & Beyond are all over the map, while consistent positives include; quality training and product knowledge. For Williams-Sonoma, employees widely agree that the products are of very high quality, but often complain about old technology, bullying managers, credit-card pushing, and a lack of support from the corporate level.
Pier 1 vs. peers
All three companies saw revenue and earnings improvements over the past three years. Additionally, all three companies are similar in many areas.
All three companies also own stellar balance sheets. But, the dividend story is different in each case. Pier 1 Imports currently yields 0.80%, Williams-Sonoma yields 2.10%, and Bed Bath & Beyond doesn't offer any dividend. Based on Pier 1 Imports current growth trends and ability to control debt, dividend increases are possible.
As long as low interest rates continue to drive the stock and real estate markets higher, Pier 1 Imports has potential for appreciation throughout the second half of the year. On the other hand, Bed Bath & Beyond and Williams-Sonoma have performed better recently, and Bed Bath & Beyond has always been a strong performer.
When the stimulus ceases and interest rates increase, Pier 1 Imports may falter. In that environment, Bed Bath & Beyond should be the safest of the three thanks to its size, customer service, brand loyalty, and ability to attract different types of shoppers.

The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced that the team has released strong safety ADRIAN WILSON.
Wilson (6-3, 230) spent the past 12 seasons with the Cardinals after joining the team as a third-round selection (64th overall) in the 2001 NFL Draft out of N.C. State. A five-time Pro Bowl selection (2006, 2008-11), he leaves the Cardinals with 987 tackles (716 solos), 25.5 sacks, 27 interceptions, 106 passes defensed, 13 forced fumbles, nine fumble recoveries and four touchdowns in 181 regular season games (162 starts). Wilson and Hall of Famer Larry Wilson (1962-63, '65-70) are the only two safeties in team history selected to five or more Pro Bowls.
"All of us thank Adrian for what he has meant not only to our organization but also to this community," said Cardinals President Michael Bidwill. "In every franchise, there is a select group of players whose contributions earn them iconic status and for us, Adrian Wilson will always be one of those players. He joined us at a key time in our organization's evolution and helped lead us into a new era. We will always be grateful for that and look forward to the day when he's placed in the Ring of Honor at University of Phoenix Stadium alongside the other all-time great Cardinals."
"Decisions like this are never easy but it's especially tough with someone like Adrian because he's been such a special player and important part of this organization for the last 12 years," said Cardinals GM Steve Keim. "He and I have a long history, as many know. I had the privilege of meeting Adrian at North Carolina State when he was a 17-year old freshman. It was obvious even then that his infectious smile and imposing stature could make him a star. His disruptive style meant opponents always had to know where #24 lined up and the statistics illustrate all that he accomplished through his play on the field. Just as impressive, though, has been the leadership, discipline and determination he brought day in and day out, year in and year out."
A five-time team captain (2007, 2009-12), Wilson is one of just six players in NFL history (Ronde Barber, Brian Dawkins, Rodney Harrison, Ray Lewis, William Thomas) with at least 25 sacks and 25 interceptions.
His 181 games played rank as the fifth-highest total in team history and the second most among Cardinals defenders behind only Hall of Fame defensive back Roger Wehrli (193). Wilson's 27 INT's rank sixth in team history, his 25.5 sacks are tied for 11th on the Cardinals all-time list and his 508 INT return yards rank fifth. His four NFC Defensive Player of the Week selections are the most in team history.
Since sacks became an official statistic in 1982, Wilson's 25.5 career sacks rank as the fourth-best total in league history among defensive backs and his eight sacks in 2005 were the most in a single season in NFL history by a defensive back.

This Suzuki GSX-R1000 is the original 'Gixxer-thou' – THE top dog sports bike of its day. Later Suzuki GSX-R1000s became smaller and more revvy as well as faster round circuits and arguably easier to handle. The original Suzuki GSX-R1000 K1 and K2 models are still supremely competent sports bikes and pretty decent all round machines too.

The current BMW K1200GT, launched in 2006, is very different from previous generation BMW K1200GTs. It uses BMW's latest frame and across the frame four cylinder engine which is a much faster, more stable motorcycle with more luxury.
998cc, 113bhp, 150mph, Insurance group 15
The Aprilia RST1000 Futura is desperately underestimated, sadly short lived and now a potential bargain. Aprilia's ambitious rival for Honda's polished VFR sports-tourer is able, well-specced and potent. Quirky styling put off many, however, it sold poorly and depreciated massively. If you like the looks the Aprilia RST1000 Futura is a used bargain.

Authentic Food in NC Triangle Area
- w
- wallabunny May 3, 2009 12:38 AM
Anyone know of authentic places to eat around the triangle in North Carolina? These are what I have had so far that I find (or so I am led to believe) highly authentic:
Asian Aroma in Morrisville: They have a special menu that's written entirely in Chinese. I hear they're still tinkering around so you should not be too quick about coming to conclusions (I think they've been experimenting with the noodles in that menu since I ate the same thing twice but the second time was MUCH better). Their roast duck, Hong Kong-style wonton noodle soup ($1 for the first bowl!), fish cake/patty, stuffed vegetables, and salt-pepper squid are things to try! Only available during dinner and you might have to ask for this special menu... And it still seems to be expanding.
Sushi Tsune in Raleigh: High quality ingredients. Chef Tsune is very friendly and is actually Japanese (only sushi restaurant I know of whose owner is Japanese). The sushi listed on the whiteboard behind him isn't that great but everything else is absolutely amazing. Sashimi is very fresh and even the udon is cooked perfectly to al dente and well seasoned. Be sure to try the Uni too.
Don Jose Tienda Mexicana in Chapel Hill: Taco Bell has nothing on them, haha. They have a machine in the back that makes fresh tortillas (I assume every morning) and the tacos can be filled with things like lengua (tongue), chicharron (pork rinds), and tripa de res (beef intestines?) just to name a few. Of course, you can get "normal" fillings like chicken, beef, or pork. Just remember to squeeze some lime juice onto your taco, top it off with salsa, and enjoy. They have other things too but I need to make additional trips to try out their whole menu.
What have you heard (or thought) about the restaurants I mentioned? Any other recommendations? What authentic foods are you craving right now?
I'm hungry now...
If you're looking for authentic NC bbq, try Allen and Son on Hwy 86 between Chaple Hill and Hillsborough. It doesn't get any more authentic than that!
re: Lewes17266
I've been to the Neomonde in Morrisville--the bread is quite tasty. I really enjoyed their beef-and-lamb _______. I can't remember the name. Shame.
re: wallabunny
re: rockycat
YES. Thank you.
Bosphorus in Cary has authentic Turkish food
Unaabi does a pretty good job on Afgan cuisine
re: blewgo
Can a kabob from Unaabi actually be filling? Because what I'm picturing in my head is a skewer of meats for $8-9...or does it actually come with several skewers? Or something else?
re: wallabunny
I haven't had the kababs, but according to the menu they come with rice, a salad and Afgan bread. If you go with someone share the bolanee sampler platter before the kabab. It has two of each bolanee on the menu.
The menu on the web site doesn't completely match the one they give you at the table, but it's close.
re: blewgo
I would hate to think that one would go to an Afghan restaurant and just get kababs instead of trying something more authentic and unique to the culture. Kababs are dime-a-dozen. Dishes like qabili pallau, aushak, mantu, boulanee, and kadu would be my first priorities.
re: mikeh
The Bosphorus menu is heavy on kabobs, but they have enough other stuff on the menu to make dining there an adventure. The patlican kizartmasi is one of my favorites. It is breaded, fried slices of eggplant covered with a fresh marinara sauce and surrounded with yogurt and garlic. The tomatoes in the marinara sauce are peeled and seeded. How often do you see that much care taken in food prep? On Sunday evening they have doner kebap which they serve several ways. Yes, it is kebap.
re: blewgo
EastWestCouple has been to Bosphorus tonight, and have a review to give:
We liked the place almost immediately when we sat down. The restaurant was cozy, nicely decorated, clean, and unpretentious. Our waiter was warm and friendly and made us feel at home. We ordered Cigar Bourek as the appetizer, and the restaurant provided an opener of fresh pide bread with seasoned olive oil for dipping. We have a strong suspicion that this restaurant bakes its own bread, and it's absolutely delicious. I had the Bosphorus Salad, and he ordered the Kofta Kabob. All of it was fantastic! Without going into too much detail, the food can be summed up as being perfectly seasoned, crisp and fresh (the way Mediterranean food should be), aromatic, and delightful to eat. It's all very authentic, and on top of that, it's also done right. Of particular note, the rice pudding is really exceptional. It was brought to us nicely chilled and dusted with nutmeg and ground pistachio. At the end of a rich meal of spiced, grilled meats, the dessert was delightfully refreshing with just the right balance of sweetness without being heavy or syrupy.
The restaurant has a cozy, relaxed "family feel", and in fact, my fiance has spent some time in Turkey and thought it was really like stepping into a neighborhood favorite there. The dining room is tiny, about 10 booths and tables total, with some outdoor seating, all of which only adds to the charm.
We were so impressed that we felt it warranted a recommendation on Chowhounds for everybody. Cheers!
re: eastwest_couple
The bread oven was brought in from Turkey several years ago and they use it everyday to make the bread and pide.
After your recommendation of Asian Aroma, my fiance and I went to try it. We second your opinion on the authentic Chinese menu. You never would have been able to tell from outside...we had driven past the place several times in the past and chuckled at the name, but didn't think to try it until reading your post. Being from the West Coast and having lived a big part of my life in Taiwan, I was happy to finally find a place with real Chinese dishes.
The beef noodle soup was very good in my opinion (its main plus being authentic), and the salt and pepper squid was deliciously spicy and salty. There is a Chinese menu but it is also translated into English so that you can order from there too. The dinner crowd was almost all Chinese.
yum yum! :)
I really liked the Caldo de Res (beef soup). I've been wanting to try Caldo Camaron (shrimp soup), but they've been out every time I've gone back there. It seems like they have it on Thursdays, so if anyone gets to try, tell me if you like it? I've also had the Pupusa and while the curtido was only ok, the pupusa was made fresh, like everything else I've had there. It was very nice and hot, with that crunchy crust on the outside. yumyum. I've had a bit of a problem at first, though, 'cause the staff doesn't seem to speak much english, if at all. But a little research or a background in spanish will not disappoint you. :)
Hmm...I had the costilla (ribs) and I don't think I like it very much, but I'm not the greatest judge of how it's supposed to taste, so don't really take my word on it if you've had the dish before and is just looking for a place to eat good food. My friend and I have wanted to try chiles rellenos (stuffed peppers) for so long, but it seems like they only have it on a certain day also. Simply put, the tacos are the best things there, hand down. Sopes, huaraches, etc...are ok, with the huarache being slightly off my list for the beans. Nothing against their beans, since I'm not a beans person and I like the beans there as a side dish, but the huarache was a little too heavy for me.
re: applegravity14
What restaurant are you referring to here? There is no clue. Don Jose Tienda Mexicana mentioned by OP????? Please try to provide context when you post.
re: TerryG
yeah....sorry about that. I was so excited that someone else has eaten there. Most people I know don't know that it exists. It's Don Jose Tienda Mexicana.
re: applegravity14
Can I get a confirmation on this place please? I went in there for the tortillas (which are available down the street at Weaver St. Mkt) and all they had were some trucked in from Ga. Can I purchase tortillas here, is this the right place (Hispano-greek mural on the west side, blue awning)?
My spanish is muy poquito, but tortilla is tortilla, so I don't think that was it.
re: Big_Mac
That is the right place. They sell the fresh tortillas from a cooler behind the counter until they're gone.
re: brokegradstudent
This article makes reference to a restaurant in your area that makes their own corn tortillas.
I've also happened to have Sushi Tsune. I went there with my sigfig weekly. We were becoming regulars, so (what seemed like) the head waitress was *very* nice to us. She gave quick, quality service and while she didn't talk much, she seemed to have noticed and tried to keep our dinner routines. We also got complimentary mochi ice cream (mmmmmm, i love mochi) and some salad and soup (separate times). The chef, I heard, has only been in the US for 4 years, he's very friendly and a bit playful. We ordered the firecracker roll one time just to try, and asked for it "extra spicy" just to be mischievous. He asked if we were sure and played around with us a bit. Sitting at the bar is definitely enjoyable if you are good at conversation. The guy is cool. It's a shame it's not opened between 2 and 5? I think (it's been a while), 'cause I would definitely like to go for a light supper thing sometimes, seeing as how my schedule doesn't really allow much time for dinner anymore.
re: applegravity14
sorry for spamming, I just realized I haven't really recommended anything....the Uni, like the OP said, is awesome. Nice and creamy, served at the right temperature for me, which is room temperature or a bit under. Another favorite of mine is the Hamachi, which I love and like to order in most sushi restaurants. This one served fresh hamachi every time, very buttery and delicious. The salad is ok, the dressing makes it a lot better. The tempura is light and not too oily, which i appreciate, being someone who can't stand grease; they've had their off day, though, but most of the time, it's pretty good about having a light batter. As for the udon, I agree with the OP, and I'd like to add that I really liked the accompanying spice jar thing, with some chili peppers and black sesame seeds.
Clyde Coopers in Raleigh has good BBQ. Indian well you can take your pick just not Azitra. Saffron, Udupi, Sitar and Mint all seem to get good followings. You can go with Locopops for something different. Don Jose is one outlet in Chapel Hill, but there are several Taco trucks and quite a few places located in Durham that I'm sure people will pipe up about. As far as Greek I'm not sure where it goes from being authentic to something you could find at any other Greek place.
Durham abounds with authentic joints:
Numerous tacquerias: Los Comales, La Vaquita, Super Tacqueria, and more.
French: Rue Cler, Vin Rouge
Peruvian: Mami Nora's
Vietnamese: Saigon Grill
Dim Sum: Hong Kong
Bon Apetit!
You could also check out Coquette in North Hills. Where are some places that make their own pasta and do it well? Does Bella Monica? I would have to add Watts Grocery for local sourcing (although several places do that) and Neil's for making his own Pastrami/Corned Beef. I guess what may need to be answer is what is meant by authentic? Are we speaking strictly ethnic cuisine?
re: burgeoningfoodie
Good point:
Watts Grocery authentic contemporary southern cuisine using local ingredients
Piedmont: same deal only less specifically southern
Toast: authentic Italian paninoteca
Backyard BBQ 1 &2: authentic cue
re: whitehackle
La Vaquita as well. Really the Mexican places are all over... some are better than others I would assume.
There is a new authentic Chinese restaurant in Morrisville called C&T Wok; we ate there tonight and found a traditional Szechuan menu that looks to be fairly authentic. We tried the Pork w/ Szechuan Radish Soup and the water-boiled beef (classic szechuan dish) and both were excellently done. I (the eastern counterpart) feel that this restaurant may become my favorite Chinese place in the triangle area, but will have to try more from it before I make that decision.
re: eastwest_couple
Where in Morrisville?
re: Suzy Q
It's in the same shopping center as Tower in the old MaWa location.
I've been twice and really enjoyed the Thai food: Tom Yom, Basil Chicken, and a glass noodle dish that I can't seem to remember the name of right now.
Pancho Villa on Chatham St. is about as authentic as you can get for mexican food. Speaking spanish is almost a requirement. Their pozole is delicious, and you can get any of their tacos with a variety of meats, including tongue. Then you can always go next door to the mexican grocery store and get a fresh paleta.

Report: Dropbox prepping for IPO later this year
Summary: Dropbox could be filing an initial public offering this year, but will it follow in the beleaguered path of consumer tech brands such as Zynga or enterprise wins like Workday?
Dropbox has already been in the planning stages and holding meeting with banks about turning into a public company during the second half of 2013, according to Quartz.
Based on unnamed sources said to be "briefed on the talks," Quartz suggested that the cloud storage provider is ready for an initial public offering now following the debut of its new business products.
Earlier this week, Dropbox rolled out several new features and a new console for IT administrators as it attempts to ramp up its enterprise efforts.
The additional set of services for businesses certainly makes Dropbox look more well-rounded, which frames the San Francisco-based company with more of an enterprise tech edge rather than a plain consumer one. That would be especially vital if Dropbox is trying to court banks and investors right now.
Looking back at the major technology IPOs in 2012, the clear trend was that enterprise technology ones soared -- and the consumer ones flopped. Just compare Zynga and Facebook versus the likes of Workday and Palo Alto Networks.
Using Workday, which went public on the New York Stock Exchange in October, as a prime example, the Software-as-a-Service provider debuted at $28 per share -- already higher than previous expectations -- to close out the first day at roughly $50 per share.
There haven't been many murmurs about an IPO before, but Dropbox also could be pushing to go public this year to beat competitor Box to the punch.
Last month, Box CEO and co-founder Aaron Levie revealed that Los Altos, Calif.-based company was aiming to declare an IPO in 2014. Levie hinted that 2013 was still a possibility, but he still described it as a "long shot."

Was There Ever A Cause
"Was there ever a cause too lost, ever a cause that was lost too long…" – Robert Frost
Hey. You people. Do any of you know anything about wicker furniture? I need a wicker-knower to riddle me this: Is there a point at which a piece of wicker/rattan furniture is a lost cause?
Last week I was driving home and saw a chair in someone's garbage. Something about the lines of the chair, all swoopy and swerved, made my brain go, "POING!" I needed that chair. In a fit of courage, I drove up the person's driveway, knocked on their door, and asked if I could have their Garbage Chair.
"It's broken," the man said. "It's garbage."
"That's okay!" I burbled. "I can totally fix it. I know all about wicker and fixing things and junk. I'm really super handy." (<– LIE.)
So with his permission, I tossed his Garbage Chair into the boot of my car (<– I'm British!) and drove off, super happy and dreaming Big Dreams of Chair Makeover Madness.
Then I got the thing home and looked at it. Like, REALLY looked at it. It is gray and dry and brittle and the reeds that tie the pieces together are snapped and unraveling. There are nails. And cracks. And old flaky paint because someone painted that sucker an eon ago. There's a piece missing.
Suddenly Garbage Chair actually looked like garbage.
I got on the Internet and researched how to repair wicker and it looks straightforward, though time-consuming. I could buy new reed and tie the thing all up with fancy knots and upholstery tacks. I could apply linseed oil to (in theory) make it less brittle. I could pray over it. But is it worth it? Oh, ye wicker-knower out there in the great webosphere of knowledge and lore, tell me if Garbage Chair is worth saving.
Here she is, in the back of my dirty car. The photo makes her look better than she actually is. Putting aside her busted up state, you have to admit that she's swoop-tastically lovely. If I determine that she's structurally sound, I think I may paint her Super Bright White and use neon plastic wicker to re-do all of her ties. Rattan Garbage Chair + white paint + neon = AWESOME.
P.S. This is what the chair would like it if it had been taken care of. These are the Garbage Chair, all supple and loved.

An Empty Stomach
"An empty stomach is not a good political adviser." – Albert Einstein
News flash: Albert Einstein was a genius. An empty stomach is a horrible adviser, and not just of politics. There is, after all, a very good reason we invented the word "hangry." But since I'm neither political nor hungry, and am instead empty-headed and inundated with home improvement projects, I would like to say instead that, "An empty brain is not a good companion for home improvement."
Sadly, I don't have a snazzy portmanteau word like "hangry" to describe my confuddled state of mind.
I have a running list of home improvement projects but I cannot for the life of me fathom how to start them. Knowledge is the problem. As in, I have none. I fear that some time in my 36 years (my birthday is next week… GAH!) the contents of my brain oozed out of my ears and dripped quietly on the floor. If I once knew something, I know it no longer. This includes geography, the words to Eleanor Rigby, all card games, the basic structure of our government, and math.
Last night I sat on my driveway, contemplating my neighbor's pretty planter boxes. I want to create similar boxes along the side of my house. I looked and looked at the boxes, noting how the tops were perfectly level. I stared at the base of each box, seeing the rows of wood stretch uniformly until they met the sloped ground.
Did my neighbor do math to make those boxes?
Did he determine the rise of the hill, the height and length of each wood plank, and then calculate how to cut and lay the wood to make the perfectly leveled boxes before me? Or did he just put a piece of wood on the hill, eyeball it, cut it, add another, eyeball that and cut it, and so on?
I don't pitch my tent in the "measure twice cut once" camp, but I don't think eyeballing this kind of lunacy is going to work. I am not Einstein. I cannot prove the existence of molecules, or explain the nature of space and time, and I certainly can't figure out how to build a straight box on a slope. So people, my good Internet people, please tell me: HOW THE HELL DO YOU MAKE STRAIGHT THINGS ON NOT STRAIGHT OTHER THINGS?
Seriously, I need help. Or better yet, I should marry a landscape architect. Or a chiropractor. Or a chiropractor/landscape architect. Yeah, a chiropractor/landscape architect. Oh! And a chef. A chiropractor/landscape architect/chef that likes to clean and is handy with DIY projects around the house. That's what I need.

Marble And Mud
"Life is made up of marble and mud." – Nathaniel Hawthorne
Several months ago, my sister came to me with the idea of registering for one of those mud runs. You know, the kind where people muck endless miles through festering mud pools, jump into pits of liquid dirt, and eventually die from dehydration or being trampled upon. "It will be great!" she enthused. "We'll put together a team and make a whole weekend out of it!" I must have been high at the time because I somehow agreed to that ridiculousness.
If you know me at all, you know that I hate running. I hate it so much that if my very life depended on me running, I would sooner roll over like a stink bug and let Death come to me. This flaming ball of hatred makes my decision to participate in the Mudderella* somewhat mystifying. Like I said, I must have been high.
But despite all that, I made epic Plans and Resolutions when I got my registration confirmation. I was going to train. I'd download apps and do push-ups and eat protein like the In Shape and Muscled do. I was going to turn myself into someone completely Other and I would ultimately kick the Mudderella's ass.
None of that happened.
In fact, the only thing I did to prepare for the mud run was worry about it. When worrying stopped being effective, I began planning the things I WOULDN'T do during the run. I wouldn't climb walls. I wouldn't go in tunnels. I wouldn't do any challenge that required people to touch me, which meant the wheelbarrow and piggyback were out. In fact, I told my teammates, I would just go AROUND the challenges. Also, I was walking that damn thing. Because, you know. RUNNING. Eww.
As race day approached, my stressed-out heartbeat took up residence in my ears and all I heard was, "Mud mud… mud mud… mud mud…" I thought my stress level couldn't go any higher, but then I read The Waiver.
"The Mudderella event is meant to be an extreme test of toughness, strength, stamina, camaraderie, and mental grit that takes place in one place in one day. It is not a race against other contestants, but rather a competition with oneself and the course. The object is to complete the course. Venues are part of the challenge and usually involve hostile environments that might include extreme heat or cold, snow, fire, mud, extreme changes in elevation, and water. Some of the activities include runs, military style obstacles, going through pipes, traversing cargo nets, climbing walls, encountering electric voltage, swimming in cold water, throwing or carrying or getting hit with heavy objects, and traversing muddy areas. In summation, the Mudderella event is a hazardous activity that presents the ultimate physical and mental challenge to participants."
I officially panicked at "electric voltage."
The Waiver went on to detail the various injuries one could sustain during the event, neatly categorized by Minor, Serious, and Catastrophic. The mildest of injuries was "scrapes." The most severe was "death." "Multiple organ failure," "broken bones," and "hypothermia" rounded out the impressive list, making it one of the most terrifying documents I have ever signed.
"It's a challenge," my sister said, when I mentioned the electric voltage. "No, it's the HUNGER GAMES," I replied.
The day of the run came and went and… I didn't die. In fact, I surprised the hell out of myself. I abandoned all of my planning and actually went into the muddy tunnels. I tried to climb the walls (but failed). I clambered over cargo nets, slid over berms, and crawled through pits. I even ran a bit. I went five miles through the toughest terrain I have ever experienced and I lived to tell the tale.
My sister has already mentioned registering for our next run. I am considering it.
Seriously, I must be high.
*That's what the event was called. It's the girl-only version of the Tough Mudder.

Anyone Who Isn't Confused
"Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation." – Edward R. Murrow
I have lived in my house for 164 days and in that time I have done the following things:
- Unpacked 3 boxes
- Created a pile of "tool-like things" in the corner of my kitchen and then left it there
- Started a lint bin for my dryer lint that I have yet to empty
- Got my arm stuck behind the couch and then freaked the hell out
- Got super depressed over the emotional and physical well-being of my birdies
- Lost my ever-lovin' shit when The Cat started peeing on the basement wall
- Almost (but not really) burned myself to a crisp when the breaker decided to melt
- Froze my tookus off from countless drafts and faulty windows
- Wondered why my heat pump sucks so much and blows so little
- Shoveled a metric ton of snow
- Planned innumerable home improvement projects
- Started zero home improvement projects
- And instead borrowed a friend's PS3 and played 74 hours of my favorite game, Fallout: New Vegas
I will cut myself a little slack on the non-improvement status of my home improvement projects by saying that several of those projects require professional help. Like replacing my windows. I need a certified window-replacer to do that, even though my father insists that it's super easy and we can bust it out in over three beers and under an hour.
My other major project is replacing the flooring. Right now there is this horrible low quality carpeting that mats down when you walk on it and perfectly hides bird poop. One might think that hiding bird poop is a good thing when one owns birds who like to poop on the floor, but I am here to assure you that IT IS NOT. There is nothing worse than stepping barefoot in a warm puddle of poo that camouflaged expertly into the mottled browns of the carpet.
I want to replace the floors, but there are other things I need to do first because those things will affect where the floor is laid. For example, I eventually want to replace the vanity in the main floor bathroom with one that has legs (not the traditional cabinet style), which means that the new flooring will have to extend beneath it. Therefore, I must first remove the existing vanity so that I can lay the floor and then put the new vanity on top of it.
Similarly, I want to figure out WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING WITH MY STAIRS, and I believe that will affect the flooring as well.
My stairs. They have… something weird going on with them. There are the stairs, and then running up the right side of the stair (where the banister should be) is a 6″ board that my nephews like to slide down, and then next to that is a knee wall. I don't understand the purpose of the 6″ board and in fact believe that it serves no purpose at all and therefore I want to get rid of it.
Only that presents a problem with the knee wall.
Okay, knock down the knee wall. I want to put in traditional banisters anyway.
Only the knee wall meets up with a regular wall and that regular wall extends up the stairwell to the ceiling. If I knock down the wall and put in a banister, I'm going to have a weird sticky-out piece of wall and ceiling where the stairs turn at the landing. Um… Ooooooookay. I could, um, build out the existing second floor wall so that it meets the new banister line so that there aren't weird sticky-out pieces, but something about that doesn't look right in my head.
This is suspiciously looking like math and physics and I do not like either of those things.
The more I contemplate this problem of banister-wall-ceiling-WTF, the more confused I get. I can't get the pieces to line up and it's boggling the hell out of my brain. I want to call in some sort of construction expert to tell me what to do, but my self-respect insists that I can do this on my own if I just sketch it out. Or spend more than 20 seconds at a time thinking about it.
Still, it's annoying. A lot like the game Flux that Mr. Mystery used to try and make me play, a game in which the rules would change just as you achieved a winning hand. Just when I think I have this stair-wall-banister thing figured out, everything goes floopy and I find that the Milk and Cookies card isn't going to end the insanity and make everything line up the way I want.
If you're confused by that last sentence, then welcome. You're my kind of non-Flux-playing people. And if you're not confused? I hate you and your never-ending card game.
I also hate math and physics and my stupid stairwell and its stupid 6″ board of no purpose.

How Much Does It Cost?

I just got done refinishing all my kitchen cabinets. I don't have a huge kitchen and I spent $140. Although, I panicked halfway through the project that I wouldn't have enough supplies and went to Home Depot for more. It turns out I didn't need it, so it really only would have cost me about $75. I used the Rust-Oleum cabinet refinishing kit from Home Depot. It's great because you don't have to do any sanding. It's time-consuming, but I sort of like the rhythm of it. Wax on, wax off, haha! I will be using by extra kit to do the handrails on the stairs off of the kitchen as well as the coffee table.
Also, I used the furniture kit and not the cabinet kit as I preferred a color that they only offered with the furniture kit. It's basically the same product :)
Before selling my condo I had my painter do my cabinets as well. The cost for a galley kitchen plus bathroom vanity was $850, plus two gallons of paint. He rolled on the paint with rollers rather than removing the doors and spray painting them, which would have cost more and taken longer. The whole job took three days, but that included painting the whole condo too.
We painted our ugly oak and particle board cabinets (on the inside too) for about $400. This included more than just the paint though. We wanted to replace the cabinets but didn't want to spend that much on a house we'll probably only live in a few more years.
First we pulled the doors off and cleaned everything with heavy duty degreaser. Then we trimmed the rounded profiles off the edges of the doors with the table saw. Then we cut bead board panelling to fit in the flat panels of the doors. This gave the doors a bit of texture and made them feel less thin and cheap.
We spent about twice as much as necessary on primer because we started with latex primer and had to redo everything when the tannins from the exposed oak seeped through and stained everything yellow.
My husband sprayed all the doors while I painted the frames, faces, and insides with a mini roller set and brushes. Then we replaced the awful hinges and drawer slides and added pulls to all of the doors and drawers.
To finish it off we glued a thin strip of wood to the front of each shelf to cover the exposed particle board and covered all of the shelves with heavy ribbed shelf liner.
Total time was about 8 months but it was sporadic evenings and weekends and we replaced the countertops and backsplash too.
$50 - Beadboard paneling and glue
$80 - Primer
$70 - 3 colors of paint
$80 - New drawer slides and hinges
$75 - Door and drawer pulls
$45 - Heavy duty shelf liner
Depends if you're painting the inside of the box or just the outside, and what condition the cabinets are in. I spent about $300 to do our small galley kitchen (cabinets, doors, and trim). The cabinets were dark wood and had some oil stains on the inside. I painted inside and out white. Required 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of paint to get good coverage. I used Sherwin-Williams ProClassic Interior Acrylic Latex Enamel, which is meant for doors and trim. It was a frustrating project - I had terrible problems with sags and drips and still had oil stains show through the primer and paint. Still, I am happy with the result and consider it a worthwhile project to brighten up some extremely dated cabinets.
I recently renovated our kitchen and painted the top cupboards with a melamine paint in grey and stained the bottom cupboards black. Total cost of paint and supplies approx $200. Time taken- 3 weeks. Lots of prep with sanding, de greasing and priming. A few drips but I worked slowly adding lots of layers of thinned stain rather than slapping it on. Before and after pics here http://www.lifewithoutlemons.com/2014/04/kitchen-renovation.html
Nice job! I really love this reno.
@Kerrie @ Wild Mae - Did you like the result of using the kit and how much time did it take? I painted mine about 4 years ago and they are already peeling around the handles and look terrible and I have been wanting to redo them. I hate sanding too so this is an appealing option. I also like the furniture kit because of the color options so good to know that works for cabinets too.
I just got a quote from a pro painter on redoing my entire kitchen cabinets. This means taking them out to a spray booth or the fronts/doors/drawers. They whole kitchen is sanded down, primed, and pre-coated with two or three undercoats. Then two or three base coats, and finally a top coat or two. Much drying time between coats and occasionally sanding between them, too. The paint he uses is NOT cheap, even at wholesale. His primers and undercoats are equally costly. You do get what you pay for. He quoted me $1750 in labor plus paint/materials. Probably another $500-$750 on top of the labor quote.
My kitchen has about 24 LINEAR feet of uppers and lowers and Gorgeous granite countertops <I never saw yellow/brown/gold granite until I bought this and had it installed>
Oh, cost of Granite or similar? Mine cost about 2800 for the material (two slabs of it) and another $3000 for installation and fabrication. The contractor admitted he had never worked on this kind of Granite before and he made a mess out of a LOT of it. We agreed to reduce his fee by $1500 to compensate me for the material he ruined.

You can try, but it's extremely difficult to replicate Nick Chubb in practice.
"If we had someone like him, he'd be starting," said Ridgeland coach Mark Mariakis with a chuckle. Mariakis will lead his Panthers against Chubb and the Cedartown Bulldogs on Friday. "You can't replicate the speed, the quickness and the power."
The Panthers managed to contain Chubb somewhat in a 42-21 win over Cedartown last season. Chubb had roughly 120 yards, Cedartown coach Scott Hendrix said.
"We were really one-dimensional last season," said Hendrix. "We couldn't do much else except give it to Nick. We're throwing the ball considerably better this season. I think we completed 20 percent of our passes last season. This year, we're up to 50 percent, and overall have a better offense."
Hendrix points to the improvement of junior quarterback Harrison Barnett for the more-balanced offense.
That's not good news for a banged-up Ridgeland team starting three freshmen and missing 11 key contributors, including defensive end/tight end Jermaine Conyers, who is out with a broken shin. The Panthers' focus will remain on stopping Chubb, something Mariakis said required all 11 defenders last season.
"He's just so strong, and if he ever gets a crease, we're not going to have anyone who's going to catch him," Mariakis said.
Chubb has 13 touchdowns and more than 600 yards rushing. He is the only senior Division I recruit on Cedartown, according to Hendrix.

Trojan 85 nick should go over 1000 yards Friday. Wish the cedartown and carrollton played this year…maybe in the playoffs we'll see

I can say from watching both teams play this year that Carrollton is a solid solid team in all areas on the field.
Carrollton has a good tandem of backs and the QB is very good, but Nick Chubb is the best player on either of these teams by far.
Hoping for a playoff game with Carrollton. Cedartown and Carrollton had a great rivalry and some unbelievable games.

End Of An Era of the Day: Comedian mechanics Tom and Ray Magliozzi — perhaps better know as Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers — are throwing in the oil rag after 35 years hosting Car Talk, 25 of them on NPR. Producers will take over the reins this fall.
"My brother has always been 'work-averse,'" says Ray, 63. "Now, apparently, even the one hour a week is killing him!"
"It's brutal!" adds Tom, 74.
The guys promise to remain active on Twitter, Facebook, and their blog. No comment from former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., who famously targeted the Tappet Brothers in a satiric rant on the House floor last year.
NO!!!! I love these guys and I have enjoyed listening to them on the weekend mornings for so long!
