Diner Reviews
A reasonable walk from the Kennedy
Center, we had dinner before the show. The food was incredible and the wait staff, friendly, informative, and efficient. A great dining experience."
Dined on 7/26/2014
When others come and go, Primi
Piatti continues as a constant in the DC dining scene. You cannot go wring in whatever you order. Veal, pasta, risotto all first rate. Here's to another 30 years!!!"
Dined on 7/25/2014
We got a really attentive waiter,
and when asked for his recommendation between the lamb or lobster pasta, he highly recommended the lobster. And he was spot on - it was absolutely delicious!"
Dined on 7/9/2014
Primi Piatti is a Washington
treasure. Locals all know and treasure it. If you can enjoy it, you won't ever forget it!"
Dined on 7/2/2014
We eat at Primi Piatti fairly
regularly because we love the food and it is conveniently located to the Kenney Center and other theaters. But we were thrilled to see they have a new menu with fabulous new dishes. We made meals of salads and appetizers. Hands down favorite was the fava bean with burratta cheese. We are looking forward to a revisit with larger appetites to try some of the new entree offerings. The superb service we have come to expect did not disappoint."
Dined on 6/27/2014
Primi Piatti has very large rats.
Last night we were there and a very large rat was in the dining area and bar area. I don't pay $300 for dinner to have rats entertain me. Call me crazy, but rats and Barolo don't mix. Don't eat here ."
Dined on 6/23/2014
We have been coming here for
years, and it is consistently excellent. There are many interesting menu items, such as wild boar, gnocchi with duck ragu, and seafood risotto. Everything is fresh, from the marinara to the peas and eggplant. Desserts are highly recommended, as well, such as the cannoli, my fave. The service is friendly and attentive, without being intrusive."
Dined on 6/11/2014
Good menu with Classic Italian
dishes. Very nice setting, especially outside tables. Varied wine list."
Dined on 6/3/2014
I've always liked the Primi
Piatti's external terrace, in this part of town an attraction on its own. Sadly, the food is very average and expensive. When you pay $20+ for a dish of pasta you expect bettet than a bit of butter and cream. But that was how the traditional Roman pasta with pepper and pecorino cheese was served. It tasted almost like macaroni and cheese, not even close to the real Italian dish that is light, made only with freshly ground black pepper and fresh pecorino cheese. Pizzas are very small, expensive and not your best choice in town either. If half the price, I would give a better score, for its current prices Primi Piatti is not aligned with the quality it serves."
Dined on 5/29/2014
I hadn't been back to Primi since
2002, but I remember being really impressed by the food & the service. I was not disappointed on my return visit - the weather was perfect for indoor/outdoor seating, the service was excellent and the food delicious. Fish, pasta and the meat specials were all fantastic. The place is a little pricey but given its location and ambiance, not unfairly so."
Dined on 5/23/2014
We were just stopping for dinner
before heading to the Kennedy Center, staff were very accommodating of our time frame and the food was great. Would recommend."
Dined on 5/19/2014
We had not been to the restaurant
for quite some time But it was as good as ever food was superb staff was incredible They were even able to accommodate a last minute addition to our reservation "
Dined on 5/17/2014
We've been here before. While we
have no real complaints, the menu is vastly overpriced. Everything was okay, but not better than many neighborhood Italian restaurants. It shouldn't cost $500 for six people."
Dined on 5/16/2014
Great decor and excellent food.
Still a great place after all these years"
Dined on 5/15/2014
Business dinner on a Tuesday
night…turned into a special meal. OUTSTANDING food and service. Couldn't get better!"
Dined on 5/13/2014
food is reliably good, noise level
is civilized, and the waiters deserve a special call-out for their welcoming care."
Dined on 5/12/2014
service was very attentive and
everyone enjoyed their selection"
Dined on 5/8/2014
I've been to PP several times over
the last 15 years, and while many years go by their service and food remains top notch. We had a group of 6 Saturday night and everyone at the table agreed on the quality of the food and wine and great atmosphere with the open doors. Highly recommend! "
Dined on 5/3/2014
GREAT service and the food is
delicious -- authentic Italian experience"
Dined on 5/1/2014
I actually have no idea whether
the food is good or not. The restaurant is not kid or family friendly, which goes against the grain for an ITALIAN restaurant. The restaurant DID NOT have a high chair for my 11 months daughter. Had we stayed we would have had to eat with her on our laps. WTF!!! What restaurant doesn't have high chairs?"
Dined on 4/12/2014
In good weather, the outdoor
seating area is amazing. First time I've been to this restaurant and the food was very good. Excellent menu selection and service."
Dined on 4/11/2014
When I am in town for meetings at
GWU, I often have business lunches here. This time, we had a slightly larger group and reserved for dinner. The place was packed, creating a lively and happy atmosphere. The service was excellent, food terrific. The atmosphere encouraged lively conversation. My only complaint is that it can be a bit pricey--but for a high-class meal, in a casual environment, where you feel well taken care of, it's worth the splurge."
Dined on 4/10/2014
I have been going to PP since the
day it opened and love it's no fuss style, simple and delicious food. The owner is always welcoming and friendly, and even when I show up without a reservation, he always seats my group, and never at some hole in the wall table. As an old customer, it's important to feel appreciated."
Dined on 4/10/2014
First visit for dinner. I got
there a little early and sparked up some conversation with the staff at the bar. They were very helpful to make recommendations from the menu. Great meal and good atmosphere while having a conversation with a dear friend."
Dined on 4/9/2014
Could be the best ever -tender and
melted in your mouth. On a Monday night so no way to judge what it is like normally but staff was very attentive, risotto special with shrimp was excellent and chop recommendation was perfect. Will go again!"
Dined on 4/7/2014
One of Washington's best. We dine
here a dozen times a year and it is always an enjoyable experience."
Dined on 4/5/2014
Had a very lovely and enjoyable
dinner. Food was excellent as well as the service. My husband had the tonnarelli con cacao e pepe which he loved. A simple dish but well done."
Dined on 4/5/2014
We recently dined here prior to an
evening at the Kennedy Center. The food was very good, the service was friendly and attentive, and the ambience was pleasant. The mixed salad was plentiful and fresh with a light dressing which I liked but my guest found a bit too acidic. Among us, we had gnocchi with a rabbit ragu, risotto, and chicken. The gnocchi was my favorite and the risotto was quite good. The chicken was interesting but perhaps a little too exotic for some tastes--especially in an Italian restaurant. The chocolate cake was good as well as was the cappuccino. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and will definitely return."
Dined on 4/5/2014
So, here I am again at P Piatti -
with my daughter who is a local student. Ordered 2 pastas. Waiter was convinced that what my daughter wanted did not exist (although she had had it just weeks before) and I ordered my usual. First - portions were smaller than usual (a small mound of pasta in a big white bowl) second - my pasta was dry and the sauce seems to have congealed. Her pasts was swimming in a sauce so thin that you could see the water at the edges of it. Besides being visited by the clueless waiter once initially to drop bread and the second time to drop plates - we were at a "self service" event. Not up to standard - no need to visit again"
Dined on 4/3/2014
Primi Piatti can always be relied
upon for good cooking in a pleasant atmosphere. Seafood and pasta here are delicious. While I love fried calamari, this dish will disappoint here and the pricetag will stun as well. Service is wonderful and makes for a lovely visit."
Dined on 3/28/2014
This restaurant has been around
for a long time and it's been consistent with good food and service. The fish of the day and the veal were tasty and well-prepared."
Dined on 3/27/2014
Upscale. .. I would say fancy.
Waiters and staff all over the place. The food came out lightning fast and it was delicious. Pizzas were delicious, and the gnochi was so good. Sauce was rememberable."
Dined on 3/26/2014
We had not been to Primi Piatti
for several years and really enjoyed our meal there. The food was excellent, the service attentive and the ambience charming. We appreciated that the ambience allowed for good conversation without competing to be heard among other guests. Great location that should a real find for visitors to our city. We will return again soon."
Dined on 3/22/2014
Overall good food, but over
priced. Btw-they charge for still water which we were not told when given option on sparking or still. I was very disappointed with the wine list-the only Italian pinot grigio they had by glass was $16-I tried the CA option which was terrible as was the sauvignon blanc. I finally settled on a red blend which was nice. My food was good-I had a shaved zucchini salad which was wonderful and a shrimp with sundried tomato and fennel starter (but never found the fennel-when asked waiter told me it was in another dish but was listed on menu in this one), My boyfriend got a pizza with arugula and prosciutto which was delicious-."
Dined on 3/22/2014
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed
our meal, the food was exceptional."
Dined on 3/22/2014
Primi Piatti is, as always, an
enjoyable dining experience! Seafood risotto on Saturday evening was amazing; full of seafood and perfectly cooked risotto with 'not so over the top' sauce! My fellow diners (all five) were very pleased with their meals!"
Dined on 3/15/2014
We had not been to Primi Piatti in
many years, and then only for lunch. We met friends there on a Saturday night and we were all pleased with the atmosphere and service. After sharing fried calamari, we ordered the insalata mixta, beef ravioli, and the evening's pasta special, fettuccine with shrimp and asparagus. Most dishes were very good, except the latter was way too salty, a common problem at many Washington area restaurants. We finished with a chocolate cake and decaf. While the food was passable, the service and atmosphere made for a very pleasant evening."
Dined on 3/15/2014
This restaurant has been around
awhile so it's not on the radar of most people now. But the service is first class, the staff has the old school charm and manners of the past, and the food is high quality. The pastas are homemade and very flavorful. They will make you any Italian dish you want if it's not on the menu. They really strive to make you feel comfortable and tended to. It's really a great place to do business, have a quiet meal, enjoy a romantic dinner, get a group together."
Dined on 3/14/2014
Really enjoyed Primi
Piatti. Fresh bread and Italian wine was a great start. I loved the option of a zucchini salad and it was really good. My daughter did not like her arugula salad:-( All entrees were great! Veal chop special, risotto special and orecchiette. The most unique was the risotto...it was finished tableside by stirring the cooked risotto and mushrooms in a huge parmesan rind...the flavor this added was amazing. For dessert we had cappuccinos and hazelnut torte. Cappuccino was excellent, torte was just good."
Dined on 3/11/2014
I love Italian food so I picked
this place as my birthday dinner spot for my husband and I. The appetizers weren't very tasty, but the entree's were DELICUOUS. The service was good but a little confusing. I won't be back."

Inside Collection (Course): The Basic Elements of Music
Summary: An introduction to one of the basic elements of music.
When you have more than one pitch sounding at the same time in music, the result is harmony. Harmony is one of the basic elements of music, but it is not as basic as some other elements, such as rhythm and melody. You can have music that is just rhythms, with no pitches at all. You can also have music that is just a single melody, or just a melody with rhythm accompaniment.
But as soon as there is more than one pitch sounding at a time, you have harmony. Even if nobody is actually playing chords, or even if the notes are part of independent contrapuntal lines, you can hear the relationship of any notes that happen at the same time, and it is this relationship that makes the harmony.
Harmony is the most emphasized and most highly developed element in Western music, and can be the subject of an entire course on music theory. Many of the concepts underlying Western harmony are explained in greater detail elsewhere (see Triads and Beginning Harmonic Analysis, for example), but here are some basic terms and short definitions that you may find useful in discussions of harmony:
Suggestions for activities that introduce young students to harmony may be found in Harmony with Drones, Simple Chordal Harmony, Parallel Harmonies, and Independent Harmonies.

Play of the Day: Scandalous!
- By Reena Flores

- November 8, 2013
- Leave a comment
Toronto's crack problem is really just confined to its mayor's office. Thankfully, Rob Ford has stopped denying he has a problem... sort of.
Plus, the 2013 election results are in. The winners? Chris Christie, Lays potato chips, and all the Marty Walshes of the world.
And the latest in legislative news: the Senate recently passed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Stephen Colbert could not be more unhappy.

Have a sweet CX bike to sell.
Size 58cm. the bike is complete stock as in the link to Cannondales' website:
http://www.cannondale.com/2012/bikes/road/cyclocross/caadx/2012-caadx-5-... [1]
I used only the frame and wheels for a few CX races in the Bay Area. The 105 group/ crank(drive-train), fork, bar, stem and post etc not used either. I have a new spendy road frame-set (Cannondale as well) coming and need some $$ otherwise I would just hold onto this bike cuz it rocks.
Bought 3 months ago- Paid retail $1550, you save $650 + tax for a very slightly used frame and wheels.

The cozy Caffe Pranzo serves nice Italian comfort food. One soothing dish is the chicken and portobello risotto with creamy rice; another is the shrimp diablo, done in a fiery, cayenne-laced sauce accompanied by a large plate of pasta. Think tiramisu or the classic creme Brulee for luscious desserts.

Tony Caridi came to Morgantown in 1984, seven weeks after graduating from Syracuse with a communications degree, expecting to stay a few months and then move up the ladder in his broadcasting career. As he begins his 30th year with West Virginia University today, he now admits he'll be in the Mountain State for the rest of his life.
The WVU play-by-play announcer since taking over for Jack Fleming in 1997, Caridi's future with the Mountaineers has been questionable since the university signed a new media rights contract with IMG College. But Friday night while in Summersville for an "Inside the Huddle" fundraiser for the United Way of Southern West Virginia, the familiar voice said he'll be on the microphone when WVU opens up the 2013 football season Aug. 31 against William & Mary.
"We've been talking, and everything has been positive," said Caridi of his negotiations with IMG. "Everything's on course, and I would think that we will have an announcement early next week that everything's good and I'll be back."
Caridi has been put in the middle of a battle between West Virginia Radio Corporation, the company he's worked for for two decades, and IMG, the new kid on the block. West Virginia Radio formerly produced the WVU football and basketball broadcasts, but it did not win the bid for the new contract when it was announced in December.
Since then, West Virginia Radio has filed complaints and lawsuits, eventually forcing WVU to rebid the rights. Nothing changed, however, and IMG again won the contract in July.
Caridi has chosen to stay out of that battle and his instead focused on his profession.
"Anytime there's change, you just have to put things in the proper perspective on both sides," said Caridi. "It's going to be different. But I think the overall goal is the same, and that is to produce a superb product.
"Through the years, we've built a reputation as one of the best in the country. Now, the big thing for all of us is going to be to continue to put it at a high level."
Caridi is also the sports director for Metronews, a West Virginia Radio Corporation company, and has hosted the Metronews Statewide Sportsline — a statewide sports radio talk show — since 1986. Continuing that program, he said, was important in the negotiations.
"Sportsline has a very strong legion of listeners," said Caridi, who helped raise money for the United Way by auctioning off an opportunity to be co-host of the show for a night during Friday's event. "I think the program has been a lot of fun for me, and a lot of people across the state appreciate it. I think it's grown through the years, and they kind of count on it.
"That's just one of several things we had to deal with, and, fortunately, it all worked out."
Caridi said he's confident that he'll continue as the host of Sportsline in his new role.
Caridi also addressed a number of other issues with the crowd of about 70 WVU supporters Friday, including the Mountaineers' controversial move to the Big 12.
The WVU play-by-play voice said that while not optimal from a geographical standpoint, the move was a necessary one and a good decision by athletic director Oliver Luck.
"Had we not moved and then we're Connecticut sitting here today, we'd have a major problem," said Caridi, comparing the Mountaineers' position to that of their former conference rival, which is now a member of the American Athletic Conference. "Our biggest problem over the years is that we weren't in a conference with like institutions.
"The Big 12 schools are like us. They're West Virginia kind of schools, and West Virginia kind of people. Are we in the right place with the right schools? Yes. Is it weird? Yes. Will we get used to it? Yes.
Caridi was also questioned about WVU's defensive struggles last year and pointed out that it was a perfect storm that came together to create the Mountaineers' historically low numbers in 2012.
Caridi said that on that side of the ball, WVU was dealing with a new staff, a new scheme and new personnel.
This year, he said, the players have bulked up, head coach Dana Holgorsen has brought in highly successful coaches — moving Keith Patterson to defensive coordinator and hiring guys like Brian Mitchell and Tony Gibson — and the players seem to be buying in.
"I guarantee you here tonight, we'll be better on defense," said Caridi. "Because we can't be any worse."

I've been reading the comic since inception and just wanted to express how much I enjoy the quality of this story. From the incredibly imaginative setting to the built-in humor to the depth (and differences) of the characters, this is the good stuff.
And let me not forget the quality of the writing. Some authors can't write worth a darn and I can't stand to read their work, but yours has excellent conveyance and flow to my eyes. Master-class Inkomancy, indeed
Please accept my congratulations to you, Jamie and Xin for your contribution to the arts so far! I look forward to as much more as you care to create

BOSTON — Paul Pierce scored 24 points and led a third-quarter surge as the Boston Celtics routed the Los Angeles Lakers 116-95 on Thursday night, improving to 6-0 since losing point guard Rajon Rondo for the season with a torn knee ligament.
The Lakers had cut a 58-44 halftime deficit to 72-61 with 5:07 left in the third quarter. Then the Celtics went on a 23-8 run and led 95-69 going into the fourth. Pierce started the surge with a three-point play and ended it with a 3-pointer with 41 seconds left, giving him 12 points in the period.
Kobe Bryant scored 27 to lead the Lakers, who suffered their worst loss of the season despite the return of Dwight Howard after he missed three games with a sore right shoulder.
The win was Boston's biggest of the season.
The Lakers had won six of their previous seven games, including all three without Howard, and had moved three games behind the Houston Rockets for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West.
But they trailed by at least 11 points throughout the second half.
Previously, the Celtics' biggest win was 94-75 at Indiana on Jan. 4, and the Lakers' worst loss was 113-97 at Sacramento on Nov. 21.
Kevin Garnett had 15 points and became the 16th player in NBA history to score 25,000 when he hit an 11-foot turnaround jumper that gave him six for the game and put the Celtics ahead 39-29 with 8:08 left in the half. Jeff Green had 19 points and Jason Terry added 15.
Howard had nine points and nine rebounds in 28 minutes before fouling out with 5:07 left. Metta World Peace also was back after a one-game suspension for grabbing Detroit's Brandon Knight around the neck and striking him in the jaw with the knuckles of his mostly open hand in the Lakers' 98-97 win Sunday.
But Pau Gasol missed his first game since being sidelined indefinitely with a torn plantar fascia in his right foot.

Cumberland Times-News
Without boring you with too many statistics, I think it is helpful for me to provide some numbers to prove a point.
The latest estimates from the Department of Agriculture are that 48.8 million people in America live in food-insecure households, half of them children; 46 million participate in the Food Stamp Program; and about one in four Americans participate in at least one of the domestic food and nutrition assistance programs run by the USDA.
Before we jump to the conclusion of making this a political issue, or moral issue, the fact is that hunger and poverty is a reality for many Americans; right here in our back yard.
As a pastor of a congregation in south Cumberland and the chairman of the Interfaith Community Food Pantry on Cumberland Street in Cumberland, I don't have to go very far to see people who do not have enough food, and regardless of the claim of America being the richest and most powerful nation in the world; there are people who do not have enough to eat!
And even worse, there are millions of children, through no fault of their own, who do not have enough to eat, who may not have breakfast every day, who may not have a hot meal before going to bed at night.
We can respond to these facts in a variety of ways. We can say that people need to pull themselves up by their boot straps. We can say that it's not my problem. We can play the political game of saying that it is not the government's problem.
We can just ignore it, or we can choose to engage either out of religious reasons, or simply out of care for other human beings. I think many choose to ignore the problem, mostly because it is too painful, or too uncomfortable to talk about, or because we don't quite know what to do with it.
Any action is better than no action at all, and frankly, hunger is an issue that can be resolved. There are enough resources. There is enough food. When it comes down to it, it has to do with priorities.
Do we feed our hungry children, or do we spend the money on something else? Do we require companies to pay a living wage, so more people can have higher quality of life, or is corporate profit in the end the only thing that matters?
Do we put the load on soup kitchens, food pantries and faith communities, or are we going to move towards a more sustainable solution where all humans are valued and appreciated?
I don't care what might motivate you to act upon this, as long as something does. As for me and the congregation of St. John's Lutheran Church in Cumberland it is much about responding to Jesus call to love our neighbors.
One of the ways we try to do that is by serving a hot meal to people in the community every first and third Sunday, from 1 to 3 p.m.. No questions asked. This is but a band-aid on the real problem, but it is something.
I urge you to engage in the fight against hunger. If you are part of a faith community that does not currently have a hunger program, think about starting one, or we would be happy to have you be part of ours.
Donate to a food bank if you can. Most importantly, speak up about hunger. Contact local and state elected officials to let them know how you feel about this. No person should have to go hungry, especially no child.

Could week 1 have possibly gone any better for the two NFL teams separated by merely an hour on I-95?
The Washington Redskins were road underdogs featuring a rookie, albeit highly-touted rookie, quarterback playing in a hostile environment against a former Super Bowl MVP quarterback.
The Baltimore Ravens faced adversity of their own, missing the NFL's 2011 Defensive MVP, Terrell Suggs, and coping with the recent death of former owner Art Modell.
Both teams passed week 1 tests with flying colors. The Redskins, led by No. 2 overall pick Robert Griffin III, stunned the New Orleans Saints, 40-32, at the Louisiana Superdome. The Ravens rolled over the Cincinnatti Bengals on Monday Night Football, 44-13.
We want to know your impressions on the first week of professional football in the DC-Baltimore area.
Did the Redskins and Robert Griffin III exceed your expectations, or were you buying into the hype before the season? What do you expect from the Redskins in week 2?
What are your thoughts on the Ravens' dominant week 1 performance? Can quarterback Joe Flacco and the offense continue to score points like they did against the Bengals? Will the defense come back down to earth without Terrell Suggs in week 2?
Where in your community did you watch the games? Do you stay at home or frequent a local restaurant? If you go out, where's the best spot? If you stay home, do you order in food?

Diner Reviews
Went for dinner with a friend,
before a movie premier. She had on shorts, which we didn't notice from the email, weren't allowed, so the maitre d' had her put on a wrap. (Wha?) The guy with the suit pants and running shoes was ok though, I guess, as I heard the word 'appropriations' come from the table. Loved our waiter, but the venue seemed to choose formality over substance, especially given the views of 9th street and the convention center wall across the street. Too many choices in DC to ever go back."

Absolutely wonderful dining
experience from the time you enter you feel like you are the most special person in this restaurant. Service is gracious Knowledgeable and not intrusive. The chef never misses cuisine is excellent not a bad choice to be had! The lobster carpaccio is a treat and the corn soup is a wonderful velvety texture and flavorful experience. The crispy salmon was excellent and if you are a chocoholic the chocolate torte is the way to finish your meal but is not for the faint of heart. The wine list is excellent and wonderful selections by the glass as well. A special place in DC that is always at the top of our list."

I booked for a large international
group at Corduroy one evening. Upon arrival, we had a few extra people show up. The staff was calm and very accommodating! We were seated w a party larger than expected, served w amazing service, the food was superb, the wine list encompassing (for the wine enthusiasts in the group), and desserts to die for! We didn't realize that the restaurant closed during our dinner that went later than expected, but never once did the staff rush us or mention anything to us. We concluded our night and departed w a very memorable experience. Oh! They tailor for gluten-free too!"

Overall, I thought the food was
tremendous. We did the 5-course tasting menu for five people, and it was delicious. They were able to accommodate several dietary restrictions and the menu was well thought out. My only knock on the food was that the portion size was small. I have been fortunate enough to eat at many of DC's finest restaurants, and this was the only tasting menu where I came away still hungry. I think the restaurant's generosity with bread was a tacit admission of their portion sizes. The other comment I have is I found the ambiance a little lacking. It was not as fine as comparable restaurants, and to be clear, I do not like a stuffy environment. Unfortunately, it is hard to put my finger on it."

Went here for the fixed price
dinner and was thoroughly impressed. Delicious, perfectly filling, and varied enough that you can taste most of the food pyramid in one night. Excellent dining experience."
Dined on 7/22/2014
From the cocktails to the first
course to the entree, nothing we had at Corduroy lived up to expectations. Even their limited menu contained inaccuracies, of which we were not informed. Service was awkwardly timed, coming sometimes as an unwelcome interruption and sometimes far too infrequently. On the weeknight we visited, the dining room was not remotely crowded, leaving us to wonder why an ostensibly upscale restaurant was having such difficulty providing a positive experience. There are too many other options that area diners can enjoy for me to recommend Corduroy, unless you're at the convention center and need a white tablecloth restaurant within a 1 minute walk."
Dined on 7/22/2014
Lot's to like about Corduroy: the
environment, food, staff, and location. A $7 cab ride from the Verizon Center, it's easily accessible. If it's just you and your date/guest, ask to be seated at the two person booths as they are tucked away in what seems like a private area of the dining room. The service is quick, attentive, and informed without being annoying. The best part of the restaurant, as it should be, is the food. My girlfriend and I both did the five course chef "surprise" tasting menu -- but the waiter was kind enough to take "recommendations" as to what courses we would like to try. Perhaps most reassuring is the relative value of the experience, as the tasting menu (consisting of 5 courses and 1 dessert) amounts to ~12/plate."

On a Friday, we had rushed to
Fringe Festival to see a play but were denied entrance since we were 5 minutes late. It set the evening off in a bad way. However, after catching a different play, we dined at Corduroy and were delighted on all accounts. They made us feel welcome, took care of us unobtrusively. I had antelope which was delicious, ranch raised in Texas we were told. My wife had guinea hen, which was remarkably good when she gave me a piece to taste. She had carpaccio lobster that she said was out of this world. I had heirloom tomatoes in delicious dressing. We ended with home made ice-cream, 3 different flavor scoops. As the waiter pointed homemade raspberry ice-cream is not red with coloring but pale purple."

We have eaten at Corduroy a number
of times and have never had a meal that is less than our expectations. Chef-owner Tom knows how to take simple fare make it elegant but not strange, and at the same time very tasty. The service is totally unobtrusive but there when you need it. And the noise level is such that you can hear the people in your party without straining. If you happen to be out for a romantic evening, they have a several alcoves where you feel as though you are the only two in the place."

THE FOOD -My wife and I had a
wonderful meal on Friday night , We both had the Tuna Entree , prepared Ahi style, was excellent! Salads were very creative and the Tuna Tartar was delightful. love the desserts ! THE WINE LIST - NOT SO GOOD - Only 3 white and reds by the glass . Many restaurants of this caliber offer more of a selection ( my wife likes white , I like reds ) Ambience- The restaurant needs operational attention , the ceiling above us was damaged , windows dirty , painting needed etc - a little back ground music would be welcomed . Bottom line , as a frequent DC high end diner , I would highly recommend Corduroy for the food , once they expand the wines by the glass selection and clean up the place , I'll be back !"

My new husband and I celebrated
our honeymoon dinner at Corduroy and it was AMAZING. We were treated to glasses of champagne upon our arrival and tried the 5-course chef's selections for our dinners. The food was outstanding. By far the absolute BEST meal we had in DC for our wedding week. Expensive, but well worth the cost. Trusting the chef is a must - he has an amazing ability to piece together such a wonderfully flavorful meal that shined throughout the entire dining experience. Servers were on top of their game and very professional in their presentations of the food. We loved it and will certainly return next time we're in DC. A gem of a restaurant in a not-so-nice looking neighborhood, but once you're inside, it's all good."

A buddy of mine was giving
suggestions on restaurants for my anniversary dinner and he couldn't stop raving about Corduroy. I decided to give it a shot and the wife and I were thoroughly impressed. The waiter was informative and attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance was subdued without feeling sleepy and most importantly the food was absolutely amazing without being pretentious. The tuna tartar was one of the best things I've had in a very long time. A lot of places talk about letting the ingredients speak for themselves but very few places pull that off like Corduroy. I don't usually write reviews but I just had to share how awesome I think this place is."

I celebrated my birthday and a
friend's at Corduroy which was on both of our bucket lists for "must do" restaurants. Corduroy lived up to its name. The service was seamless; ambiance was perfect and intimate; and the food was sensational-we both had salmon-was well cooked and presented. The restaurant topped off our dinner with mini-birthday desert plates with candles. Really sweet. Absolutely a totally wonderful experience."

Surprising interior if one judges
from the exterior of the restaurant. All for the better. Impeccable service. My tuna was out of this world, while my wife's Pork Tenderloin left much to be desired. The Tenderloin was removed from the bill. Heirloom tomato salad was wonderful and the cheese platter for my dessert was delicious. Very nice wine list as well and the server was very helpful in choosing a wine to go with both entrees. We will definitely return."

restaurant due to recommendations from a coworker and positive reviews online. It is extremely convenient to those attending conferences at the DC Convention Center. The food was fantastic and the service impeccable. We opted to try the Chef's Five Course Tasting Menu and were very pleased with the selections served. Great restaurant!"

Wonderful meal with exceptional
service. I would return again in a heartbeat."

The five courses plus amuse-bouch
were elegantly prepared and served, paired with wines that enhanced their exquisiteness, Certainly, on par with some of the best. Thanks to Sam for making our celebration special."

My husband and I celebrated our
9th anniversary here and had a great experience. The beet salad was fresh and delicous and the scallops and hen were out of this world. Sam was great in assisting us with a perfect Pinot Noir with our meal."

Great food and drinks. The waitor
was very knowledge about menu and ingredients for various food items which aided in selecting my dinner choice. Since I have food allergies, this was a huge help to ensure I was able to enjoy what I ordered."

You can count on Corduroy for a
sophisticated dining experience. I am very happy to have it in my neighborhood. The food was delicious, well prepared and nicely served. The service was just fine, appropriately attentive."
Dined on 6/17/2014
Second visit to Corduroy, and it
was excellent, again. The food was spectacular (Soft Shell Crab exquisite), and the wine list, while smallish, is perfectly suited for the fare from the kitchen. Service was flawless."

Everything was excellent except
pork loin not well done and too pink in center Otherwise all 5 of us loved it"
Dined on 6/12/2014
second visit, even better than the
first. Come early like we did and get even better service and less noise. The menu was completely new and exciting. Our wait staff and the bar tender were all excellent. Had the Antelope. Divine. Only minor complaint is that parking isn't too easy around there. We will be back."
Dined on 6/12/2014
Had been there once before on
business and thought it a great choice for a romantic dinner with my wife. EXCEEDED expectations on every front. Absolute best experience for well conceived food options, beautiful plating, and exceptional service. When in DC, will always try and go back. Outstanding!"
Dined on 6/9/2014
Went here with a group of friends
for a celebration. Dinner was awesome and the service was excellent. It's kind of nestled away between some houses so you have to keep an eye out for it. I was a particular fan of the antelope entree and pistachio bread pudding dessert. ...wear pants and real shoes, a friend of mine did not and regretted it."

My husband & I were celebrating
our anniversary; we had read about Corduroy. We chose the Chef's $70/pp tasting menu - the food was amazing & beautifully prepared. We had tuna tartare, a lump crab blitz, pork tenderloin & antelope. My only complaint was that our waiter said we could only have one exception (per table & not per person) to the tasting menu. I was skeptical to try the antelope but my husband really wanted it. I'm a foodie so I decided to give it a try; it was delicious. Had we been two friends dining together, it would have been nice for each of us to have had the option, if we chose to, to have that one exception to the tasting menu. Other than that, we loved our dinner and would absolutely recommend Corduroy."
Dined on 6/7/2014
I know there are a few bad reviews
on here for Corduroy, but we didn't find any of the flaws they suggest. Every single staff person was easy, fun, a bit playful (even when I made bad jokes), and very helpful. The food was all excellent (as were the cocktails). It's expensive, but if you don't know that going in, shame on you. The drama free bottom line is - yes, it's all that it's cracked up to be. "
Dined on 6/6/2014
We were visiting DC over our
anniversary and decided on Corduroy. It was a first-class experience. We had the tasting menu which, for $70, provides 6 courses (five plus the amuse bouche soup). The courses were tasting sizes of things on the menu. The chef picks the courses, but we were allowed to request one thing from the menu that we could "guarantee" to be a choice. Each of us got two different desserts, so 4 in all. Our waiter was the "Chicago guy" you read about in the reviews and he was friendly and charming without being overbearing. He is a wine expert, but we each only had glasses of wine. I positively recommend Corduroy. $70 is fair for these courses and the food is high-quality and very well-prepared. "
Dined on 6/5/2014
We were made to feel very welcome
and had a great meal.The staff went to a lot of trouble to explain the different courses and the food was all delicious. "
Dined on 6/4/2014
Took a lady here on a first date.
Thought it was a little aggressive to go to such a nice place but the lady loved it. Our server, the guy with a thick Chicagoan accent, knocked it out of the park. He was funny and polite all at once. The food was incredible and we had good wine paired with it. I will be coming back. Many times more."

Too many highly qualified students coming from a population that is 70% free and reduced lunches and done without vast staff turnovers, yes this is a story that the Boston Globe doesn't want you to hear.
My son, our family, have been part of the Ohrenberger School community for the past 5 years, and sadly we are getting ready to say our good-byes.
Six years ago we embarked on our Boston Public School odyssey. We did our homework to make informed decisions about our son's education. We visited schools and joined listserves. We spoke to all of the West Zone K1 principals and narrowed down our choices. We didn't care about the distance from home any school was, so long as our son was considered a person, not a data point. Based on the instant connection we felt with dynamic principals and the added bonus that both were in the beginning stages of transforming into K1-8 schools, we ranked the Ohrenberger first and the Higginson (in Roxbury) second going into the lottery. Neither of these schools were on anyone's radar six years ago, and both had mediocre test scores and low popularity, but we looked at them as hidden jewels.
We were thrilled to get our spot at the Ohrenberger and dutifully rolled up our sleeves and got to work. The inspiring administration and great teachers were supported by a diverse family community that all wanted the same thing, to make the Ohrenberger a top school. I took on many roles within the parent council, reigniting the school's charitable giving with Uniform Free Days that raised money for disaster victims and even organizing the "get well soon" cards the students sent to Mayor Menino last fall. I worked with former City Councilor John Tobin trying to find funding for popular programs when funding was dropped in favor of "turnaround" schools and have been working with City Councilor Matt O'Malley to get a crosswalk in front of the Ohrenberger.
After Steve Zrike left, the strong leadership continued with Eileen Nash, who completed the K-8 goal with the Beethoven becoming the feeder school, K1-2, to the Ohrenberger grades 3-8. And the strong leadership continues now under the leadership of co-principals Naomi Krakow and Ed Puliafico. The West Zone community took note and we have gone from a wait list of 10 in 2008 to 130+ in 2012. All of this success happened not by firing teachers or flooding the school with corporate money, but through the teamwork of administrators, teachers, and parents.
But our collective success seems to have taken its toll on my family. With great administrators comes highly motivated teachers and these extraordinary teachers have produced 33 third grade students accepted into the city's AWC program. Sadly, only 25 of these students can stay in the program at the Ohrenberger. To make matters worse, we must revisit the lottery to get one of these
25 slots. And while many thought this would be a straight-up lottery, since we are all already in the school together, instead it turns out to be (1) Sibling Preference Walk Zone, (2) Sibling Preference, (3) 50% Walk Zone and finally, (4) the rest of us. Have I mentioned the Ohrenberger is in West Roxbury and we live in Jamaica Plain with our one child? When I called Court Street and asked about why walk zone was relevant when there are only 4 AWC programs in the West Zone, I was told, "... because that's the way we do the lottery." Not because it's logical, not because it's fair. Just because it's their unconsidered habit. So our son will be at a disadvantage because he is an only child living barely 3 miles away. Isn't it ironic that families who have a built-in community of multiple children have the edge, while children like ours who have to find it through their school community are shut out?
Clearly our chances of getting a seat are slim. We now must uproot our son and our lives. Six other families will go through this as well. Of the 33 accepted, many are from the highly involved parents who have, like us, helped build the school and strengthen the community. These kids from the Ohrenberger have been friends since they were 4 and the kids from the Beethoven, since they were 5. So many in this city have it wrong. You don't find community just because you live on a street, you create community. We did it, and now we're being punished for it.
We are trying hard to go into this next lottery with the same focus and determination as we did the first time around. We know that the three other AWC programs in our zone are all highly regarded and because our son swims and plays sports in leagues that take participants from the various neighborhoods, we'll keep our fingers crossed that he'll fall in with an old friend. And if he doesn't, he now knows that a community is something you build, not simply live in., and he has the skills to do it. And throughout this heart-wrenching process, we will quietly keep repeating, "BPS is not for the weak."

The Problems With the Catholic Church and Birth Control
The Catholic Church's stance on birth control is a slippery slope, as an Obama administration ruling highlights.
On January 20, when Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius issued a final rule requiring that all women have access to free preventive care services, including contraceptives, the heat from congressional leaders, Republican presidential candidates, and Catholic groups increased. (The rule includes an exemption for churches and houses of worship, but not for other religious institutions such as hospitals, universities, and charities.)
Wednesday, the White House stood firm on it's position, as did those who stand with the Catholic organizations and the Catholic Church.
This is obviously a very emotionally charged issue. Some like Speaker Boehner even went as far to call this "an unambiguous attack on religious freedom..."
[See a collection of political cartoons on healthcare.]
I must admit, I am a bit torn by this issue and here is why. First, I do not want any person or religious organization's religious freedom infringed upon, because they have a constitutional right to that freedom. But I must ask, is the Catholic Church being asked to provide these services? Or is this an issue regarding their employees? And if we consider this as a religious issue, then I must ask, are hospitals a place of worship? Or a place of healing? I also fear the slippery slope this could become: would a Catholic Hospital prevent a non-Catholic from saving the life of their wife over the life of her unborn child? Would a Jewish hospitals force non-Jewish employees or patients to circumcise their newborn boys? Would a Muslim hospital require it's female staff or patients to cover their heads? You see where I'm going with this.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the Catholic contraception controversy.]
The other problem I have is hypocrisy. I know numerous Catholics ( and yes I was one, receiving baptism, First Communion, and confirmation) who live together, fornicate, and use contraceptives. See if you're being a "good Catholic," and you're not married, you wouldn't be having sex at all. You would be abstaining and the issue of contraceptives whether in the form of a birth control taken prior to sex, or a morning after pill taken...well, the morning after, would be moot. And let's take those married Catholics. The days of the O'Malleys and their 12 children are gone, so either the rhythm method miraculously started working, married couples stopped having sex, or they just stopped using that method. (My bet's the latter.) The rhythm method didn't work. And the Catholic Church didn't and still doesn't pay for all of those lovely babies born as a result of it, whether it be here in the United States, Mexico, or Calcutta.
[Read Robert Schlesinger: A New Culture War Will Help Rick Santorum, Barack Obama.]
And another issue I have is with the use of contraceptives being a sin is that so says the Catholic Church because it interferes with the creation of life. Well aren't gluttony and drunkenness sins too? Should obese people with heart disease be treated at the expense of the Catholic Church in these institutions? Or how about an alcoholic who needs rehab or surgery on his or her liver?
The final rule issued on January 20 is not a mandate forcing birth control upon the likes of anyone, it simply asks to make it available.
I understand that the Catholic Church is footing most of the bill for their employees' healthcare, and they feel they should be able to pay for what they want and what they don't want. I have no problem with that. But I do have a problem with male politicians and male clergy members ( and those who are Priests don't have sex), telling we women what to do with our bodies!

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — The letter grades handed out to public schools by the state Department of Education this past month contained few surprises. District administrators had warned patrons that the grades would likely follow socio-economic lines. Those schools with many challenges would score low.
Now, the state department has released grades for entire districts, with Norman, Moore and Noble receiving "B" grades, Lexington and Little Axe receiving "C" grades and Robin Hill earning the county's only "A" district.
Twenty-three Oklahoma districts received "A" ratings and two received "F"s. Oklahoma City and Tulsa districts received "D"s. Edmond scored an "A." District administrators have said the process assigns a simple letter grade to what amounts to a complicated set of variables. The state's formula doesn't reflect progress made in state-mandated areas.

Best of Technical Support
Which library do I need to use for multithread applications? I found pthread.h in /usr/include/, but I didn't find libthread.a in /usr/lib/ as I can in AIX. —Ju Rao Slackware
There is an excellent threads library available called LinuxThreads. You can download the latest version from ftp://ftp.inria.fr/INRIA/Projects/cristal/Xavier.Leroy/. [For more information on LinuxThreads, see http://pauillac.inria.fr/~xleroy/linuxthreads/.] —Chad Robinson email@example.com
Hi, I am a new user, and I have what I am sure is a simple question. I upgraded the kernel from version 1.2. Now when I run games, I get an error about a missing svgalib. Consequently, I cannot get any picture. I am using an ATI 3D Expression with 2MB. How do I edit the config or lib file in order to indicate which libraries I have? —Jonathan Barrie Slackware
I'll bet you upgraded the libraries as well as the kernel. Nowadays, everything uses shared libraries, and programs can't run unless the right shared libraries are installed.
I'd try ldd <program> to check which libraries it finds and which it doesn't. Once you know which libraries are missing, you can then install the Slackware packages that provide them.
You can also run ldconfig -v to see which libraries are installed; if your program looks for a different version of a library already installed, look for "backward compatibility" packages.
Note that newer distributions trace dependencies between packets, so you are unlikely to experience this error when using them. —Alessandro Rubini email@example.com
How do I customize the "Login" screens for TELNET and FTP logins? —Robert Farrell
For TELNET, create and edit the /etc/issue.net file with whatever you wish to be displayed for the login screen. You can also edit the /etc/motd file to display the message of the day after someone logs in.
For FTP, go to the root directory of the FTP space (usually /home/ftp/). You can verify the location and file names by looking in /etc/ftpaccess. Edit the welcome.msg file to whatever you wish to be displayed. If you want specific messages to be displayed when users enter into a particular directory, edit the .message file in that directory. —Mark Bishop email@example.com
In a 50/50-mixed NT/Linux LAN of four to six servers, what is the best tape backup scheme you recommend? Where should I install the backup units—on the NT or Linux or both? What tape backup utilities should I use? What if Solaris 2.5 servers are added? —Jon ChunRed Hat
tar has always been the standard backup tool in the UNIX environment. If you want something more powerful, you should investigate cpio or afio, both of which are standard, command-line tools. BRU and other commercial backup facilities exist as well.
If you want to back up mixed NT and UNIX systems, you will most likely need to use a dedicated backup facility for the NT servers. A backup of NT is nice but backing up your domain server won't be very useful unless you include the registry settings, which only an NT backup tool can do.
The best possible solution is to install a tape drive in each server and use that server's own tools (NTBackup on NT, tar on UNIX) to back it up. That method will provide you with the fastest recovery times as you won't be restoring across the LAN.
If you don't need to cut costs, you can investigate ARCServe or another commercial backup utility. These tools include clients for many platforms, and you can probably get the SCO client working under Linux using iBCS2. That would allow you to use a Windows NT machine to back up your UNIX servers. —Chad Robinson firstname.lastname@example.com
You can use the SMBFS functionality of the Linux kernel in order to mount remote NT servers on your Linux system:
smbmount //NT_SERVER//FOO /nt_server
Then you can save these directories with tar or any other backup utility.
A more efficient solution (but not free) is to use commercial software such as ARKEIA or BRU which support remote NT/95 system backups. —Pierre Ficheux, Lectra Systèmes firstname.lastname@example.com
I have a Teles ISDN card, which I would like to use under Linux. After looking around a bit I found a driver in the Red Hat distribution. So, I compiled a new kernel with support for the Teles card. However, I have no idea how to use it. With a standard modem I can talk with at commands to /dev/modem/, but how does it work with the ISDN card? —Rien Broekstra Red Hat
You need the isdn4k-utils. There are other packages, e.g., vbox for building an answering machine, but this is basic. Check ftp://ftp.franken.de/ or read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/isdn/* for locations of additional packages. —Ralf W. Stephan firstname.lastname@example.com
I'm fairly certain that you didn't need to recompile your kernel. The Red Hat kernel packages build ISDN support as modules. (I'm sure they do as of 5.0, and I think we did in 4.2 as well.)
Anyway, the best place to find this type of information is in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/isdn/README.HiSax/. Everything you need should be covered there. —Donnie Barnes email@example.com
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

The Florida Gators ran into the one SEC team that they couldn't rally against.
Today's matchup is as much cultural as on the court.
With another fantastic second half, the Gators defeated Vanderbilt 77-66 in the SEC semifinals. Sunday afternoon, the Gators will play Kentucky in the SEC Tournament final.
Florida's cold blooded second-half destroyed Tennessee last night in a 85-74 win in the SEC Tournament. Today, the Gators face Vanderbilt in the SEC Semifinals.
Florida will open their SEC Tournament run tonight in Atlanta against Tennessee. The Vols defeated Arkansas on Thursday night, 74-68.
Winning the SEC Tournament has been a blessing and a curse for the Gators. In 2005, they won the SEC Tournament and lost in the NCAA second round to Villanova. And we all know what happened in 2006...

Copper Investing News has an interesting piece linking recession-era theft with fluctuations in the commodities markets. Specifically, the metal's recent price plunge has been made worse by thieves flooding the market with fenced booty. Things are just that desperate out there:
The good news in the future for the shrewd thief or junk collector? Copper appears to be getting close to its price floor. Steal low, and sell high:
Copper theft has risen across continents as robbers seek to liquidate assets in a hurry. In the US city of Memphis, Tennessee, for instance, the occurrence of scrap-metal theft via air conditioning units skyrocketed some 515 percent this year in comparison with 2005 levels, according to The New York Times. Market participants are responding with heightened awareness and supporting ramped-up legislation that could turn the tables on criminals.
(Here's a link to that New York Times piece, which tracks the trend of thieves nicking copper components from air-conditioning units in the very dead of summer. And radio towers, live electrical lines, Alzheimer's facilities, etc.)
The good news in the future for the shrewd thief or junk collector? Copper appears to be getting close to its price floor. Steal low, and sell high:
Perhaps if copper thieves had the fortitude to follow China's example and wait for the price of the raw material to bottom, they too could legally participate in an eventual comeback. Whether scrap metal regulators are ready or not, market signs appear to be pointing toward recovery. "Regarding the direction of copper prices, there were many discussions during LME week which led to a slightly more positive picture as the industry only slowly felt the impact of the financial markets," said Triland Metals' Schmidt.

Conner Poulson got a taste of the highs and lows of being a starting quarterback on two offensive plays last season.
He experienced the rush of throwing a touchdown pass and the disappointment of tossing an interception.
The rest of Poulsons time in 2012 was spent on defense, chasing wide receivers as a starting free safety for the Capital High football team.
But Poulson doesnt consider his first two seasons on varsity a waste of his offensive skills.
Quite the contrary.
The cerebral 6-foot, 205-pound junior credits those years as a backup for better preparing him for the role hes always wanted.
This season, hes the Eagles full-time starting quarterback.
Ever since I was a little kid, Ive always wanted to play quarterback, Poulson said. Ive always wanted to have that pressure on me.
Through five games, Poulson has blossomed in his new role, completing 73.5 percent of his passes (75-of-102) for 880 yards and 10 touchdowns without an interception. He has a quarterback rating of 178.3.
Hes been nearly as effective with his legs, rushing for 417 yards and six more TDs.
Poulsons early success has the 5-0 Eagles off to their best start since 2010.
Believe it or not, playing safety he wasnt very aggressive. He was passive. He wouldnt go hit anybody, Capital quarterbacks coach Dave Kemper said. Now that you put the football in his hand, hes a completely different person. Hell run you over. Hell attack you. He does all that kind of stuff.
Poulson who carries a 4.0 grade-point average has been a student of the game for as long as he can remember.
As the youngest of three brothers, Poulson spent many Friday nights watching older siblings Nick and Jake play football for Capital. Nick, who said he was in high school by the time Poulson was born, played on the O-line, while Jake was a two-year starter at quarterback and went on to play at Utah State.
I was not in the stands, I was down on the field, talking to all the players and getting the feel of it, Poulson said. That made it really fun for me as a little kid being on the field with all the big high school players.
Just as his older brothers mentored him along the way, Poulson also credits his two years as a backup to Makena Simis the 2012 5A SIC player of the year who now plays for Montana with preparing him for a starting role.
Last year when Conner was our starter on defense, he was our backup quarterback, too, Capital coach Todd Simis said. He didnt get a lot of reps, but he learned everything. I dont think he quit learning throughout the year. He was still staying involved mentally on offense and he had a great relationship with Makena, and that helped along the way.
Poulson has deflected most of the praise for Capitals hot start onto his teammates.
Its awesome how many weapons we can go to on the offense, he said. I trust every single one of them with the ball.
Eleven receivers have caught passes so far, and seven of those players have accounted for at least one touchdown.
Ten players have run the ball for the Eagles, and five of them have scored at least one TD.
Capitals signature Gurkha defense is doing its part, too. The Eagles have one of the stingiest defenses in the 5A SIC, limiting opponents to 292 yards and 17.2 points per game.
Last weeks come-from-behind 42-26 win over previously unbeaten Rocky Mountain solidified the Eagles confidence in their first-year quarterback.
Capital trailed 20-7 at the half, but overtook the Grizzlies with five second-half touchdowns.
It doesnt get any bigger than that. The crowd, the pressure, Simis said. The way he and the rest of the kids handled themselves in that situation, how can you not believe in him and what we are doing?

This kit is awesome. Fit completely up to my bike with no issues. This was the first time that I have bought a chain and sprocket kit that I did not have to take links out of the chain. It comes ready for your ride. And the Steel sprockets are holding up well. The chain holds lube really well and rolls really nice. I have always ran other race chains and always took care of them but this chain seems to move freely and with ease. I race every weekend and ride trails and such during the week and I have only had to tighten my chain one time! Great product, great price and even better fit up.Read All Reviews

Worked fine until after the first ride stretched. I thought its Okay its normal so I adjusted and rode again. Stretched again okay so I adjusted again. Rode it again and kept on stretching. This was all with 5 hours on the chain lol. I highly recommend getting a chain a little better if you have a built motor with a lot of power.Read All Reviews
