'Jersey Shore' Star Loses 'Fitchuation' Lawsuit to Abercrombie & Fitch
Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino will get nothing after the clothing retailer offered him $10,000 to stop wearing its clothes and parodies his nickname.
Here's "The Situation," or Jersey Shore's Mike Sorrentino, who sued Abercrombie & Fitch when the clothing retailer came out with a T-shirt bearing the phrase "The Fitchuation" and also offered in a press release to pay $10,000 if Sorrentino would not wear A&F clothing on the show.
Here's the outcome, as Sorrentino has now lost his lawsuit that alleged that A&F had committed trademark infringement, unfair competition, false advertising, injury to business reputation and misappropriation of likeness.
A Florida federal judge just granted A&F summary judgment, while shooting down each of Sorrentino's claims.
PHOTOS: The Quotable Situation
Sorrentino might have given himself the the nickname "The Situation" because his abs were rock-hard, but U.S. District Judge John O'Sullivan finds his trademark claim over T-shirts to be soft and flabby. Here's the full ruling.
The judge writes, "Although the word 'situation' is not a word that was coined or made up by the plaintiffs, or a word that is obsolete, totally unknown in the language or out of common usage, the Court can discern no relationship between the word 'situation' and the apparel or entertainment services that the plaintiffs provide."
Analyzing other factors including the similarity of "The Situation" to "Fitchuation," Sorrentino fares no better.
"The T-shirt expresses 'The Fitchuation' visually and phonetically different than 'The Situation,'" writes Judge O'Sullivan. "There is no evidence of A&F 'palming off' its T-shirt as that of the plaintiffs where, as here, the T-shirt has the A&F inside label and prominently uses A&F's own famous trademark 'Fitch' as part of the parody."
STORY: Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino's Settlement With Ex-Management Firm Hits Bump
The judge also notes that Sorrentino didn't offer "Situation" apparel until A&F did so, that Sorrentino doesn't sell his products in retail stores and that the plaintiff hasn't produced any evidence of actual confusion among consumers. As for what A&F had in mind, it's noted that an intent to parody doesn't equal an intent to confuse the public.
The Florida court also determines that A&F had a fair use right to make fun of Sorrentino in a press release. In fact, this press release is determined not to be an advertisement.
"A&F used only so much of the plaintiff's name as was reasonably necessary to respond to his wearing A&F's brand on The Jersey Shore, and did not do anything that would suggest Sorrentino's sponsorship or endorsement" writes Judge O'Sullivan. "A&F's press release expressly disassociated Sorrentino from A&F, and the plaintiffs have conceded that no third party has expressed any confusion that the press release rejecting Sorrentino's image somehow suggested sponsorship or endorsement by Sorrentino."
So much for reverse psychology in marketing. In analyzing Sorrentino's publicity rights claim, the judge won't even entertain the "hearsay" of news articles and Facebook comments that speculated the press release was a publicity stunt. And in looking at Sorrentino's false advertising claim, the judge says there isn't anything false about it.
Yes, Sorrentino could have accepted $10,000. As the judge notes, "A&F's offer of money for Sorrentino not to wear its brand is a statement of fact, but is undisputedly true."

Xander knew that Sundar was the love of his life, but he'd gotten lost somewhere along the way; and he wasn't sure if he'd ever find his way back home.
When Xander is accosted by the big, handsome cop and mistaken for a minor gone AWOL, he goes along with it. After all, the guy turns him on big time, and Xander figures that eventually the truth will come out and they'll have a good laugh.

Xander knew that Sundar was the love of his life, but he'd gotten lost somewhere along the way; and he wasn't sure if he'd ever find his way back home.
When Xander is accosted by the big, handsome cop and mistaken for a minor gone AWOL, he goes along with it. After all, the guy turns him on big time, and Xander figures that eventually the truth will come out and they'll have a good laugh.
But Sundar is really miffed when he discovers that he's wasted his time with this guy, though he can't just leave him out in the cold for the night. And he can't deny that Xander's constant flirting is getting to him.
When Xander makes him a proposition he can't resist, Sundar's life gets turned upside down, especially when he discovers that Xander is playing for keeps.
His father hadn't said much during supper, but then, that was his style. He was a man of few words, but the faint smile on his face at supper had spoken volumes.
"He's very happy, very proud of you. We both are." His mother reached up and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I know," Sundar muttered. But damn it all, would it kill him to say it once?
"You're staying for dessert, right?"
"No," he said, "I can't. I've got to get back. I've got a pile of paperwork that needs doing." He reached down and pecked her on the cheek. "Meal was great, as usual." His gaze strayed to the window for a moment where he could see his father walking a grey mare around the corral outback. "How's Wildfire doing?" He shrugged into his waist-length leather coat and zipped it. It was getting nippy out there. He could smell winter in the air.
"Better. She's always going to be lame. Your father doesn't want to accept that. She's his favourite."
"I know." She was his favourite too. He'd been only nine years old when his father had bought her. He'd fallen in love with her. Wildfire was now approaching her eighteenth year. But that wasn't so old when he thought about his grandfather's horse. Misty had lived to be twenty-six.
"You look far away," his mother said suddenly, caressing his thick black hair between her fingers. "You don't need to cut your hair now, do you?"
"Naw," he grinned, "one of the perks of making detective."
"Good, it suits you long. Your father wore his long when we met, down to his waist almost. I used to love to brush it. You know, I was just thinking, we never get to see that girl you're dating. What's her name again, Maria?"
"Huh?" He gave her a dazed smile, watching his father gently stroking Wildfire's mane.
"That young woman you brought to your cousin's wedding last summer. She really liked you." She was waiting for an answer.
He headed for the door. "We aren't seeing each other anymore. She, ah...moved away, got a better job and—"
His hand was on the door handle. Don't mention fucking grandchildren again. He turned and glanced at her over his shoulder. "Yeah?"
"You're twenty-five years old. All your cousins are married or settled down now. You work too much. You got your promotion, try and make some time for..."
He pushed the door open. "Say goodbye to Dad."
"You're too much of a playboy," she called after him, laughing as she stood huddled in the door. "Living up to your name? I regret calling you Sundar now."
Sundar opened the car door and slid into the driver's seat. He waved at his mother, fired up the engine of his vintage 1969 Camaro, and careened out of the gravel driveway.
If he had a dollar for every time his mother said she regretted naming him Sundar, he'd have already paid off this baby he was driving. Sundar was his Tsalagi name, Cherokee to white folk. It meant lover, but God forbid some of his colleagues find that one out. He'd never live it down. Anyway, everyone called him Sunny. It was kind of a joke because he'd never had what you'd call a sunny disposition.
His mother, Sophia Macgregor, was of Italian-Irish descent. She was full of life and energy, and she'd given him some wonderful memories growing up. His father, Clinton Kingfisher, whose native name he'd never told anyone, was a full blooded Tsalagi who'd left the reservation young, worked in a garage and studied to become a mechanic. At the age of twenty-five, he opened his own garage and had three others working for him. He'd made a good living for himself and his mother, but he refused to embrace his own heritage, telling Sundar that being an Indian would get him nowhere in life. "You can't beat 'em," he said, "so join 'em. They call you Sunny, let 'em. Makes them feel better about who you are, lets them treat you like an equal."
His parents were polar opposites. His father was quiet, brooding, a man of little words, whereas Sophia was a social butterfly, volunteering with all kinds of organisations and feeding the penniless strangers who sometimes drifted through town. Sofia and Clinton could have been on a poster for 'opposites attract,' but yet they were hopelessly devoted to one another.

Tasting a glass of Woodbury Days
A steady stream of customers to Wine Styles toasted the success of this year's Woodbury Days festival on Saturday.
The Tamarack Village store held a wine tasting for dozens of wines, with four special bottles of wine each bearing a commemorative Woodbury Days 2008 label forming the highlight of the event.
The special label wines -- two whites and two reds -- are available throughout August, with 10 percent of the proceeds from sales going to the Woodbury Days Council.

I moved a 5 gal batch from primary to secondary..... nearly 5 months ago. Not sure the reason, perhaps I wasn't looking forward to bottling, but my question is.... long fermenation period = nice good aged brew or long fermentation period = dump it out and fire up another batch.
further details... it has been downstairs in the 2ndary fermetner at a 67-70 degree temp.... cap has remained on the glass carboy / 2ndary fermenter since i put in there.
help me out... ill either be bottling tomorrow or boiling up a new batch....
Probably fine. I would taste it, then bottle it assuming it tastes OK.
I've had one in the fermenter for 6 months now and might leave it a little longer. So long as you've got it sealed up, you're fine.
Lambics may age years (of course, they're fermenting a bit differently than with just sacc. yeast, but still...) and other styles often age months. Wines and meads often age for extended periods, as well.
The best way to decide is it to try it. If it tastes good enough, bottle. If it's not, don't. Unless of course it's been infected and is souring, then give it another 6+ months.
Up Next: Coffee Stouts, Brett Beers, More Sours, Quad, Brown
Primary: Sour
Secondary: Sour
On Tap:
Bottled: The Queenella Dugbe RIS, Avlan RIS,
A taste will tell. Most likely, it is just fine. Some styles of beer actually need this kind of aging.
My airlock passes gas.
I had a 3.5% abv beer left in the fermenter for 7 months, and by the 5th month a small white film developed over the top, like a mold (but maybe something that seperated out from the cake?). The beer tasted fine while I was dumping it, with no trace of mold or funny business. If it weren't watery and flavorless from beginning, I would have bottled it.
Anything over 1.060OG I would just be thinking about maybe bottling this month anyway.
Something around 1.040 might be a little past peak depending, but it probably won't suck if your sanitation was good.
I specifically made a midweight and heavyweight ale alreadythis summer, both are overhopped intentionally to see how many months out it takes the hops to come into balance with the malt.
This all started fopr me because my 888RIS was perfect at bottling in APR08 but underhopped when the bottles were opened in August 08. It is still good beer, but...
thanks for the responses. i took a read of the final gravity and found it to be right around 1.02 which is were I would expect it. Tasted it during bottling and seemed fine. I did have a slight white film on top but I just chalked that up as normal for sitting around all that time. seemed to settle to the bottom once i moved it around, started removing from the 2ndary fermenter.
i don't see why this won't be a nice quality beer. will keep ya posted.
Real simple, if it tastes bad, you left it too long. If it tastes good, then it wasn't too long. Sounds like it wasn't too long.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"

Rainbow Bay Vacation Rentals(19)

Recent Rainbow Bay Reviews
Wonderful Place
This was our first trip to Eleuthera. We loved it. The house and grounds at Lookout Villa were very clean, had everything we wanted and the porch was a great place to have your morning coffee and to see the beautiful view of the ocean. Its a great location to head out and explore the island. Angela was very helpful and quick to respond with any questions we had prior to coming over to the island. Highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back.
Blue Skies cottage is strategically located in the heart of Rainbow Bay, in the middle of Eleuthera Island, making it the perfect home-away-from-home 'getaway'. You're minutes away from some of the most beautiful beaches on the island and just a few miles from some great restaurants such as The Front Porch, Rainbow Bay Inn and the recently opened beach front pub called The Deck. Due to its central location, and with a short drive, you can reach beautiful beaches in the north or south side of the island and other main attractions such as Glass Window Bridge. Not being located on the beach will turn out to be an extra plus at sunrise and sundown since the Eleutheran sand flies won't be an issue! :-) The rental is a beautiful and quaint 2 bedroom cottage, perfect for a couple or a family with 2 children, tastefully decorated, extremely well maintained and a very clean property. Everything you'll need for your stay is available: central AC, ceiling fans, dishwasher, microwave, dryer etc. The owners have definitely taken the extra step in furnishing the cottage in a special way to make you feel 'at home' during your vacation and provide detailed and courteous customer service on line. The caretakers are very kind locals who will take care of you and remain available at all times for any needs you may have during your stay. I highly recommend this cottage - you will not be disappointed. The rental exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend this property to my closest friends. Hope I can get back to Eleuthera soon! Lisa
Nice Eleutheran escape
Overall I liked the location. The property was clean and well maintained and the owner is helpful and supportive. It's a little walk to the beach but it's close enough. The 2nd floor is really well done and we enjoyed that more than the 1st floor. Overall, this is a good choice.

On The Scene: Startups prepare for tax battle

|On the Scene
|Friday, October 23, 2009
Tucked away among the restaurants and shops in Portland's Old Town is NedSpace, a co-working office space for startups that combines old red brick architecture with a contemporary Ikea feel. A small crowd was gathered there last night for what looked like an after-work party, but the ambience was in contrast to the serious reason for the meeting. Most of the people were members of the startup community and were there to hear arguments against the controversial business taxes recently passed by the Legislature.

Big hit in our house and super easy to make. Have made two batches in two days they were they popular
Made these with the dark/crunchy modification suggested in Notes using brown sugar - so yummy!! And so quick and easy!!!
Really awesome recipe! Made the soft and chewy ones and they turned out perfectly.
Yummmm.! LOVE THIS RECIPE.
MAde the chewy ones! Delicious!
Yum yum yum! I made the chewy ones with no brown sugar. I put the bi carb in 2 tablespoons of boiling water before I added it to the butter and golden syrup. I also made them teaspoon size instead of tablespoon.
I used 1 cup brown sugar and shredded cocounut which is a bit coarser than dessicated but that is all I changed. I ended up with beautiful biscuits which were crisp on the outside and chewy inside. Fab, easy recipe!
Excellent ANZAC biscuit. The cooking notes are fabulous as well for the different 'versions' of the biscuit ... I made the chewy, and they were fab!
Yummy and easy to follow recipe.
I followed the dark and crunchy version by only using brown sugar, and they were absolutely delicious!!
I followed the dark and crunchy version by only using brown sugar, and they were absolutely delicious!!
these were delicious!!! Made the soft and chewy ones. Yummo!
Definitely the best Anzac biscuit recipe. Absolutely perfect biscuits every time.
Add a splash, teaspoon of vanilla extract. Even better.
Doubled recipe. Half went into freezer for the weekly lunches. Other half for Saturday sport snacks. Always a hit either way.
I made these Anzacs 'soft and chewy' as per the Notes. They were delicious!! Just the way I like them! They were very easy, took no time at all to throw them together. Will definitely make again.
I added a little extra water, butter and golden syrup so 'everything stuck together more' but they took longer to cook, and they turned out not as solid. Big note: don't use quick oats!!! They puff up. Other than that it was so yum. Don't try to alter the recipe if you're not an experienced baker, but if it makes sense then go for it!
I made the thin and crispy version with nuttelex for a friend who is allergic to dairy. I found that they were flatter than when I had previously made them with normal butter but still tasted just as good. A fantastic recipe to have.
Thank you - finally a good Anzac biscuit recipe. I made the version for thin and crisp ones as per the notes. They were lovely and crisp and a great taste. Much better than the thick oatmeal type ones found in other recipes. This recipe is a winner and is sure to become a regular in our household.
Knocked these up this afternoon in 30 minutes flat, best Anzac bickies ever.
I love this recipe, it gives you real chewy, crunchy, sticky Anzacs and not oatmeal cookies like so many of the others. Great tasting bikkies which can be slapped together and in the oven in 10 mins or less. An absolute keeper. A+++
A friend made these biscuits for me this Anzac Day and recommended the recipe. She said they were easy to make and I know they were absolutely delicious - a combination of crunchy and chewy. She also said she used gluten free flour.

head injury incurred (date op injury:2/4/06
Dx: Severe diffuse Head Injury
location:: incident occurred while in residence (rental) at a compond a/ka/ Indian Palms Country Club, Indio, CA 92201
Attendant on duty advised me (spouse of injured) he was recently hired. During incident the attendant was MIA regarding other matters relative to his job (i.e.) he was outside locking up tennis court & checking on other outdoor facilities relative to health club.
'Shortly thereafter 2 bizarre factors occurred: (i.e.)
1. waiver signed by my husband presented (however, it wasn't his penmanship) ergo fradulent document.
2. Cable involved in incident suddenly "mising".
3. Physical
Per Dr/s insight took legal action; however the facility had uniquely distinguished firm of attorneys, ergo...a settlement via mediation sans us was made and deductions (per our personal legal expenses (i.e. specialists sreferred by our respective attorneys fees were deducted). When presented with settlement by our attorney via cell phone while driving I inquited if subrugation was included. Our attorney said he forgot to address said matter. Then he put Mediator on the phone with me; sole purpose was to coerce me into accepting their "deal". Thus.....a complicated long standing process and when all monetary variables were factored in by attorneys (despite the fact that evidence wasn't presented (i.e.)forged waiver. Settlement was insignificant; however, it allowed us the financial resources necessary to relocate back to CT; albeit, we reside in much lower income area than our initial residence, we had no alterntive for financial survival sole reverse mortgage which we were eligible for because injured is 65 yrs old and minimum required age for same mtg. is 62. Bottom line: Financially, I dropped approximately 15 life insurance policies....obviously, due to his health these cant; be reinstated due to predisposed health condition. If/when I turn 62 (current age 60.5) I am eligible to have my name included on reverse mtg.(naturally @ significant legal cost). However, at present,due to age restrictions...if my husband demises......I am indigent!

Creative ways to update old plywood cabinet doors & hinges?
We have painted plywood cabinet doors in our 1961 kitchen. The doors are structurally fine, and none of them appear to be standard sizes, so I'd rather prettify the ones we have rather than shell out the $$ for new doors. What's the most creative solution you've seen for updating plain plywood doors to make them look a little less boring and a bit more cottage-y? I've seen molding applied to the outside to give them a sort of relief effect, and I've wondered if I can do anything with stencils.... If anyone has photos of creative -- and cheap -- solutions please post! I'm also wondering if I can replace the 1/8" offset surface mount hinges with concealed ones, or is this so much trouble that DH would be pulling his hair out...?
Lceh, hope someone responds about the hinges. I'm curious about that too.
There is a paintable wallpaper from Wall Doctor that looks like beadboard. Perhaps you could wall paper the doors and then apply the trim to the outside to give them the look of beadboard doors. You could then either paint them white or paint them cream and glaze them.
There is information on this website about how to DIY glaze your cabinets. I learned to do it from my neice who does it for decorators and homebuilders.
The first thing I did was carefully study what other glazed cabinets and pieces of furniture looked like. How the glaze stayed in the grooves, etc. How it looked on the flat surfaces. I even took pictures so I would have a reference.
My neice told me for a cream surface to buy light walnut stain, preferably water based, and to get LOADS of old rags, and more LOADS of old rags, and cheap foam brushes. She said it is best to take the doors off and lay them flat, but the hinges on mine had been painted over so that was impossible. I was doing a bathroom vanity that butted up to the wall on each side, so I masked off the wall. I also put down plastic beneath my work area, and some rags on top of the plastic to catch any drips.
Then working on a door at a time, I brushed on the stain and wiped it off. Go slowly. Wipe off more than you think you need to. You can always put on more. Check your doors against each other for consistency.
My neice told me to finish with a coat of varnish/polyurethane/something, but I'm lazy and didn't do it. The vanity is now 4 years old and to me it still looks the same as when I finished.
Having told you how I did it, I would nevertheless recommend that your do a search of this site and find out how to do it right!
Also, you might ask if anyone has ever used the Wall Doctor paintable beadboard paper and what their experience was.
Here is a link that might be useful: Paintable Beadboard Wallpaper source
I think exchanging your hinges for the same type (and hold pattern) but more cottage style would be better. Concealed hinges aren't all that cottagey and it wouldn't be a fun project! Use the effort where it'll make a big difference, and that's the door treatment.
That said, I don't have ideas for the door treatment. I did live in a cottage-ish house once with painted cabinets that were slabs with molding tacked on--not as a later modification; they were just made that way. It was really kinda charming. I wouldn't try the curvy bits, but a simple square/rectagle of thin halfround molding seems do-able.
What kind of profile to your doors? are they square? Lipped? Roundy? OK, I want pictures!
Thanks for the great suggestions! Here are photos of the cabinets as they are now (note the dark hinges over the stovetop -- my husband stripped them and found 1960s faux-Colonial copper, ugh. The rest are painted.)
I like the idea of replacing the hinges with some Hoosier-cabinet type surface mount hinges. I also like the applied molding idea, but that means waiting for DH to get around to it, whereas I could do the stencilling myself....
Interesting idea re: the beadboard wallpaper and the glazing!
Do you all think this small kitchen could handle one color on the lower cabinets and another on the upper, or is that too much?
I think I'd apply some 1/4" MDF "frames" around the edge to get a shaker look. You'd have a sheet of 14" MDF cut to 2" "stiles and rails" by a home center and then you can use a plain old chop saw or miter saw or even a circular saw with a straight edge jig to cut the strips to size to nail to the doors. A dab of glue, and a couple of staples, some wood filler, and a bit of paint, and you've definately got a "cottage" look. This is VERY DIYable, even for the inexperienced, and very cheap. Maybe $50 in materials. A plain electric staple gun and a saw of some type is all you need. Buy a couple of slabs of pre cut plywood to practise on if you're unsure of your skill level, but there is no need to wait on anyone else to begin this project. YOU can do it!
Do as livewire says. Our old cabs were almost identical to yours when we 1st moved here. I did mine on my own using pine molding, but using mdf would probably work better. I just glued mine on with the caulk that comes in the little squeeze tube at home depot (make sure you buy the paintable). Buy yourself a little mitre box and saw - probably $10. Ours lasted for years until we could afford new cabs.
My favorite kitchen ever was in mag that had cabs just like yours and the bottom was painted barn red and the top cream coloured. It looked amazing. The owner was a renter and couldn't do new, but didnt need to - it was beautiful.
Slap some wood Ikea counter tops on there and you're set.
It depends on how handy you are. Even if you're not, hiring someone would cost a relatively small amount compared to the different look you'd get. IMO!
I've done the following, and it wasn't hard. I was SOMEWHAT handy. I took overlay doors and drawers on an old dresser and either sawed them down so they became inset. I think I used a circular saw, but cutting them to size on a table saw would be much better. Before doing this, you have to make sure the drawer cabinet is deep enough, because the drawers will sit more deeply in their boxes once they're not overlay. If you're going to attach thin strips of wood or MDF to create a frame look on the drawers, again, that will make the drawer deeper still. Measure the inside of the cabinet.
I think changing the hinges will look nicer, also IMO! But unless you have some experience doing this it can be a pain. Hiring someone here would be good, and not terribly expensive.
I like the idea of keeping what you have and just changing it. You have a nice set of cabinets, why replace them?!
live_wire_oak and budge1, I really like this idea but I'm wondering how I can put the Shaker-style frames on with the surface-mounted hinges in the way. If I put on new hinges I think they'll probably also have to be surface-mounted. How would you configure the applied molding to avoid covering up the hinge "flap" on the door?
Forgot to mention we had the big hinges too (only ours were huge black things). My dh took them off and installed another type that while not totally hidden like the new European ones, have the part that screws into the cab on the inside of the door and cab - only the pin part of the hinge is showing. We got them at home depot. My dh did this when we first moved in - at the time screwing in a light bulb on his own was considered a major home repair project (boy, have we come along way) so I'm betting you or your dh could do it easily. Just use a bit of wood putty to fill in the holes on the cab, sand and paint - the holes in the door will be covered by the mdf moulding.
I don't know if you have one near you lceh, but here at our ReStore (Habitat for Humanity store), there are literally 1000's of "new to you", and new doors, hinges, trims, and a multitude of paints if you have the time and energy to sift through them! You might try there, or some place similar. Good luck! Our similar, yet far worse shape cabinets are awaiting a wrecking ball, or bar in their near future, but I'd certainly try and see what you can do with what you have!
I think this type of hinge might work.
Here is a link that might be useful: 3/8'' partial inset hinge
I have old plywood cabinets with the partial inset hinges that ci lantro suggests:
These cabinets were white with giant, rusted metal strap hinges - really horrible! Now I really like them, and feel really bad about replacing them. Modern cabinets will not have the charm of these simple slab doors.
Your photos intrigued me so I did some Googling on stencils. Here's some links I found, so I hope you find them helpful. I think you could turn your kitchen into a beautiful example of stenciled cabs with some time and effort:
HGTV has lots of articles on stenciling which can be applied to cabinets:
How-to article, no photos: http://home.howstuffworks.com/guide-to-decorating-wooden-furniture-ga4.htm
Stencil design ideas: http://www.stencilsource.com/ideas.html
An outstanding old home with magnificent stencils and a full set of photos and articles:
Dover Publications has a long list of stencil pattern books for inspiration. Their website isnÂt very good  hereÂs a search for "stencils", but remember to click on the "more results" button on the bottom to continue reading the full list of what they have available:
We proudly replaced the hardware ourselves. (LOL, we are not very handy.) I can't remember exactly why, but the doors didn't shut right with the new hinges. We had to sand down the bottom inside "lip" of the doors (the part the fits into the cabinet frame). It took a while, but was simple enough to do.
