Butera's Restaurant of Smithtown
Online Reservations
The chicken marsala is among the best that I have ever had, service is cordial and quick.
The food and the dining experience were great. We were a party of 6 and they honor and take reservations. Rob, our waiter was really fabulous.
It was our first time in the Smithtown Buteras. The food was delicious and plentiful. The service was terrific. I highly recommend this to my friends.
I have been to All Butera's locations and this particular experience was exceptional. My co-worker and I treated our Admin. Asst. for Admin. Day there. We ordered family style. Everything was delicious; Blanca pizza, penne a la vodka,Gorgonzola salad. We also had the ameretto cake which was devoured quickly. We will be back!
A great local restaurant, it never disappoints us. We went for pre-Mother's Day dinner and scored a great table right in the window. Service was efficient, food was delicious, and the bill reasonable.
We celebrated Mother's Day and my birthday...excellent service, food and atmosphere. I've been to Butera's many times and each time is excellent. I also work near the Butera's in Woodbury and have enjoyed lunches there as well. Keep up the good work!
Food was well prepared and very good. Reasonably priced and good service. Didnt have to wait long. Overall a very good experience. Ample parking in rear of restaurant . Would go there again.
This was the first time I went there, I really liked the fact that they DID NOT have a restricted menu, and was very pleased that I was able to choose off their menu. They did have specials which i tried one of the appetizers. I have read the reviews before, and the only downside to this place is the noise, the people behind me had such deep loud voices that I actually thought the radio was on, when in fact it was their voice bouncing off the walls. Food was good, generous portion, I had a great glass of Merlot as well and had Mocachino coffee at the end which was delicious, my son had the raspberry cheesecake of which I was able to taste the tiniest piece and that was very rich and creamy
We love going to Buteras...we had an 8pm reservation and ended up being about 10 minutes late because we couldn't find parking...even though we were late and it was a busy Saturday night we only waited about 10 minutes for our table. The food is excellent especially the chicken meatball pizza appetizer. The only negative thing I will say is that it is VERY noisy and the tables are VERY close together...so its hard to get up and down if you have to go to the bathroom or something. The food is very good and we loved everything that we had!
I took my husband, parents and friends out for dinner to celebrate my husband's college graduation. Although we made reservations and still had to wait about 30 minutes for a table, the wait was well worth it. The service was impeccable and the food was just fantastic. We ordered the calamari and warm goat cheese salad for appetizers and the apps were brought out to us not even 10 minutes after we ordered it. And we ordered family style dishes with the chicken meatball lasagna (?) and chicken francaise with sides of sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes. For 6 people, there was still way too much food. But the food was excellent. I hadn't been to Butera's in a couple years and now I remember what I was missing. All in all, we loved it.
We were a group of 7 women celebrating a birthday. Jessica, our waitress, was excellent as was the food. I ordered the grilled salmon and a number of the women ordered the shrimp risootto special. We ordered a family stye eggplant rollatini and a salad to start ~ the eggplant was excellent. We've been here before for our 'birthday club' because they have a large round table that can accomodate approx 10 of us. We very much like Butera's and wll definitly return there again.
Butera's is one of our favorite restaurants. Very reliable for excellent dishes. We are never disappointed. Very accommodating to prepare meals for Gluten Sensitive individuals.
I love Butera's of Smithtown. It is perfect for a dinner for my husband and I that is close to home (Smithtown) and it has been a great spot for me and "the girls" to enjoy wine and a great meal. In addition, we have brought our 2 girls with us and the restaurant has been so incredibly accommodating. Just a pure gem! Our favorite locale for sure!
The best chicken meatballs! The stuffed mushroom appetizer was outstanding. Reasonably priced for what it is.
We enjoyed our meals...delicious. Excellent service.....friendly and efficient waitress
I've been to two of the Butera's and they consistently have great food. The service is always good and pleasant. I'd recommend this restaurant every time you're in the area.
we celebrated my sons 18th birthday, this is the place he chose after coming there for Mothers day. We had 2 family style appetizers, and individual meals, which were delicious. the mussels were plentiful, the calamari came with red cherry peppers, I had the Salmon, delicious, The cake was ordered in from Sweet Lucilles, Canolli cake with whipped cream icing and vanilla cake, delicious. Overall we were a party of 8, and we had a great time. I would go back.
We have been to Buteras many times. Food is always consistently excellent and their choices on the menu are diverse. The preparation is creative and always well presented. There are other locations of this restaurant throughout Nassau and Suffolk County. However this one is more conducive to meeting friends for conversation. We will return again and again
san francisco foodie here... enjoyed this restaurant a lot - great pastas and an eclectic selection of appetizers - really enjoyed the pasta with escarole and italian sausage - also enjoyed the cocktails and wine selection. waiter was super friendly and polite - kudos!!
The food is well prepared and the presentating is very pleasing. If you're looking for a great meal and good service, try Butera's of Smithtown.
Friends were visiting from out of state...staying in port Jeff. We live in glen cove...wanted a halfway meeting point. Never heard of Buteras. Looked at reviews and location...we picked it.... Extremely happy we did... Nicest hostess and waitress!!!! Excellent food- great for our group of 7 for a last minute dinner! Will be back and will visit the Woodbury location!!!
First time dining here. Have been wanting to for quite some time. The pasta dishes we chose were delicious and we would live to go again.
Went to Butera's with a group of baseball moms (our sons play ball together). We had a great round table away from other diners so we didn't have to worry about being too loud. We ordered some of the specials family style and they were excellent. Everyone's entrees were excellent as well. The service was very good, we did not feel rushed even though we were the last group to leave when they closed. Will go back again. Excellent time.
Great food, decent price, service good. We were sat next to the kitchen even though initially, we were the only table, n we did have reservations. That was the only downside, heavy traffic area n very loud
This was our first visit and we were short on time. The menu looked fabulous but only had time for an entree. We had the chicken parm with linguini and the veal parm with whole wheat pasta. Both were excellent with a wonderfully rich sauce. We hope to return when we have more time to enjoy other menu items.
Visited from Las Vegas where I am General Manager of Ventano-Best Italian in Vegas, and man what a great night. The food portions were awesome. The taste and quality was over the top!! Baked Clams, Calamari were exceptional. Chicken was so tender and moist. Pasta was bursting with flavor. Sausage was spiced perfectly. They allowed me to bring my special wines in. It was just A+++ all the way.
Butera's is very reliable for excellent cuisine. We have never been disappointed.
I had a great evening with my three children, aged 15-27. The food was great, as always, and the service was fast, courteous, and always with a smile. There were specials for each course, and the rest of the menu was ample. I've always enjoyed every meal I've ordered at Butera's. The one drawback for me: the small crowd sounds like three times the size. It's the acoustics of the room. It's hard to hear the people at your own table when it's crowded. As the evening progresses and the crowd thins out, it's not an issue. Online reservations from their website are a breeze. Overall, this is a great restaurant with great food in a great "Main Street" type of location. You'll enjoy it...over and over again.
We went with group of six. When we arrived our table was waiting for us and we had no wait for our reserved time. The food was very good. You had the option of ordering meals family style or individual dinners. We all opted for individual meals. Everyone was very please with our dinners. The service was very good. There was always someone there filling water and bread. Overall our experience was very good and we all felt that we would return.
We went as a group of four. The food was incredible, the service was also unbelievably good. Our waitress was there constantly checking on us. There was no wait, the wait for the food was just the right amount of time. The only tough thing is that there are a lot of tables in a pretty open space. Therefore, the noise gets to be really loud. We couldn't really hear each other talk. I would still really recommend this restaurant. Very friendly people
We went for our wedding anniversary, service was great, food was hot & delicious.
Great place in the heart of Smithtown ! Great food and choices....ample portions ! Warm and friendly staff !
We invited another couple to enjoy a meal out with us-we were pleasantly surprised. The food at Butera's was delicious and plentiful. We all went home with left overs to enjoy the next day. It was restaurant week and the menu offered many selections, not just a few to choose from...and the choices were creatively prepared, not just the basics! We visited on a Sunday night and the place was packed. That speaks for itself. We will return!
The menu includes all the standard Italian choices...and then some. Something for everyone for sure. Even though it was a busy night when we were there, the service was extremely fast...and very courteous. Definitely will go back again...soon!
We dine at Butera's Smithtown several times a month. Each and every time the food is great, service is attentive and there is an adequate wine list
A mainstay in Smithtown, this place is very good. The service is spot on, the menu extensive, portions HUGE and anyone of the deserts will cap of a very good meal. Been there many, many times and only one time was mediocre. I simply attributed that to an off night as it has never been repeated. This place doesn't disappoint !!
Good apps and drinks at bar for happy hour Family style or individual meals Nice specials Best amaretto cake
The food was excellent but the noise level was very high. Could hardly hear the company we were with. But would go back and try again.
When we first arrived the bar was crowded and loud.We were seated within three minutes,which was nice.The room we were in was much quieter and we were able to enjoy pleasant conversation within our group of 6.The menu described each entrée very well,the food was delicious,our server was friendly and pleasant.That being said,we did wait a bit for our food and as the restaurant filled,it became too loud for conversation.When dinner was served,we asked for sautéed onions,they did not bring them until we were finished with our dinner.They did take it off the bill, but he would have preferred getting what he ordered.We did not stay for coffee and dessert,only because of the noise level, and went home to enjoy quiet conversation over coffee.
We had another wonderful meal at Butera's in Smithtown! The service was wonderful. Our waiter, Vincent, presented the wine list and gave suggestions for pairing with meal choices. The Restaraunt Week menu was very varied, with something for every taste. When each meal arrived, it was beautifully presented, and delicious! We will definitely return!
We went with a group of friends and had a wonderful evening. We have been there before and although they have a hard time keeping the reservation time, there is a great bar with great drinks to sit and wait! When we got our table, we were thrilled with the big table (almost like a private dining room). Everyone enjoyed their dinner selections and felt the food was very good. The waitress added nothing to the evening (not even a smile) and was good at taking our order and delivering the food...very task oriented! We have had her before and it is not a problem -just not friendly. We will be back again.
Food was full of flavor! Great portion sizes at a good price. It was a little crowded and noisy, but it didn't take away from the evening one bit! I will definitely be going back there again!
Went on a Saturday night at 6:30 as a group of 7. Parking lot and restaurant were packed. Large portions. Everyone loved what they ordered. Specials were very good. Thai Calamari appetizer was excellent! Chef accomodated a substitution of salmon for a fish in one of the specials in spite of the crowd and busy kitchen. Wait staff was very attentive. Will definately go again and recommend to others.
This isn't the first time I've been to Butera's and it won't be the last. Everything about this place is wonderful from the food, service bar area and all around atmosphere. I've had everything from the mussels to tilapia to the chicken meatballs {my favorite} and loved it all!
made online reservations was called to confirm and that night was called 15 minutes early to say our table was ready. Seated and served promptly on a busy Sat. nite. Food was very good and price was reasonable. What else can you ask for?
Butera's has finally changed its specials menu; It may seem odd to order Thai Calamari (it comes with legs giving some comfort that it is indeed squid) at an Italian restaurant, do it. Food is reliably good; service is less so; veteran servers are terrific and don't say "no problem" when thanked, the newer ones not so much; if serving is not just a bump in the road of their careers they need to step it up and observe their elders in this establishment. The hostess station is always sketchy; this time she didn't check us in so we got a note from open table. We keep going back; it's a neighborhood comfort place for us where once in a while we are surprised by something new, but more often than not just happy with our well prepared favorites.
went out for a christmas dinner with co-workers and were promptly seated and enjoyed a wonderfully delightful dinner experience. It was one of the girls birthday as well so by letting the staff know in advance - the brought dessert with a candle and we all sang happy birthday. Everyone from the bar staff to the waiters were very courteous. would recommend buteras to all.
Excellent food!! Server could have been a bit friendlier and a bit more attentive. We were not told of any specials. The previous time my family dined here, there was an extensive list of specials not printed on the regualr menu. My husband asked if they had any special holiday drinks - the answer was an abrupt NO. We come for the food and atmosphere - gorgeouos decor and food is always excellent.
Have eaten there 4 times and the food is amazing every time!
A couple of co-workers got together for a nice dinner out - and it was so worth going out (considering the weather was not in our favor)! From the Thai Calamari to our main dishes, everything was good. And, the coziness felt when you go in, was great. It felt like we walked in to an Cottage.

Unity Station, Deep Space
Unity Station, built after the end of the First Solar War. It's purpose was to be the new Headquarters of the UN or what was left of it. In the years following n the aftermath, the UN was severely crippled by the war, eventually disbanding. However, the station remains a symbol of Neutrality, and the nations of Sol honor that fact. Manned by personnel from all corners of Sol, it certainly fulfills it's purpose. And it would soon see a historic event take place.
Years after the war, the Sol System was, and remains, in a delicate state, the nations on edge, waiting for who strikes, and sparks another conflict. But now, an agreement came in place, a Summit was to be held, one of peace where, despite their differences, the nations of Sol would attempt to resolve any troubling matters in the course of this summit.
Free Colonies Cruiser, The Valiant
The Valiant had emerged from Phase Space as it darted outward near the Station. From the bridge, the crew could see that they were late, as ships from all corners of Sol had arrived first, the station buzzing with activity. The Cruiser approached the station for a while until it came to a sudden stop. Moments later, a shuttle with a fighter escort launched out from the back of the ship as they moved onwards to the stations.
Minutes pass as the Shuttle enters the Docking Bay of the station, back ramp lowering down as the Colonial Delegate step forward into the light. Out came an elderly woman in her late sixties, in bushiness-like attire. Following behind her were five Army Troopers acting as her security detail. She scanned her surrounds for a brief moment as she then walked along towards the entrance leading to the room where the Summit will be held, somewhere in the center of the station.

Sanger says he has seen more than his share of illegal "bootleg" charter operations, and one way to easily smoke them out is to ask about their insurance liability. Depending on the value of the plane, Goldberg says look for a range between $5 million and $300 million. "Get a copy of the policy," Sanger says."If they don't have at least a $10 million policy and you're chartering a jet -- run."
The FAA does require charter companies to carry insurance. But it does not require insurance for non-charter private planes.
That makes it very tempting, Sanger says, for private plane owners to rake in fat profits by pretending to be a legal charter operator.
"They need to pass a law that says you have to have insurance on any airplane, just like they do cars," he says.
When contracting with a non-U.S. charter operator, it gets more complicated. Rules and regulations are different in every country, underscoring the importance of grilling the operator about maintenance, documentation and oversight. Appearances can mean a lot. "Sometimes all you need to do is look at a plane to know you don't want to get on it," Sanger said.
Deadly charter accidents increased in the United States last year, according to the FAA, up from six fatal accidents in 2010 to 16 in 2011, when pilots logged more than 3 million hours in flight. Deaths rose from 17 to 41.
Worldwide so far this year, out of more than 17,600 business jets -- which include small private and charter planes -- there have been 12 major accidents and 25 deaths, according to the Flight Safety Foundation.

Most helpful review
Not as good as Goldeneye or The World is Not Enough, but close!
By a customer from Newcastle Upon Tyne , 13 Jun 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
' Tomorrow Never Dies'
is an old time classic which will
be remembered by film/bond fans alike.
Pierce Brosnan 's interpretation of
Bond is the defintiive version. Sean Connery used to be my favourite but now
Pierce Brosnan's in the lead. Teri Hatcher [ The New Adventures Of Superman, Spy Kids] is Paris Carver the wife of media mogul Elliot Carver [ Jonothan Pryce - Pirates Of The Caribbean: Curse Of The Black Pearl,
Robert Louis Stevenson's The Game Of
Death] who is actually loosly based on
media mogul Rupert Murdoch [ i think that's how it's spelled] the man who started up ' Sky' television. there is even line in the film quoted from William Randulph Hurst ' You Provide The Pictures, I Provide the war' this film also stars Michelle Yeoh [ Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon] as Wai Lin who is martial arts expert and chinese spy who i think is the gutsiest
bond girl ever! [ she resists him all the way until credits roll.] i loved the
idea this also had henchman called ' Stamper' who is lot like cross between
Necros in ' 007: The Living Daylights' and Donald ' Red' Grant in ' 007: From Russia With Love' this really harckens back. Vicent Schiavelli is scary but very, very good in the role of Doctor Kauffman the assassin. the film has few dark elements but still sticks to the light heartedm, gung ho, triggerhappy formula which bond does so well. must see. *****- Was this review helpful to you?

(20)More watchable Licence To Thrill
By The KnightWatcher (629 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 15 Feb 20131997 James Bond drama. The 18th Bond film and the second of the Pierce Brosnam series. News mogul megalomaniac starts to manufacture the news by trying to start a war between Britain and China. Features the remote control BMW. A more cohesive plot than most Bond films. Easy to follow. The usual predictable action stuff. Opening scene-the Arms sale scene is the best bit of the film The story is mainly a thriller rather than the embarrassing mix of thriller and comedy favoured during the Roger moore era.- Was this review helpful to you?

Much better than Goldeneye
By Bassman71 (701 reviews) from Didsbury, England , 03 Oct 2011Techno terrorist buys encoder from Russians, Bond fails to get him, terrorist teams up with media mogul to use encoder in evil ways, 007 goes to stop them.
Much better turn by Pierce Brosnan this time as James Bond but not that difficult after the disappointing Goldeneye.
The whole thing feels like a Seventies Bond with the story, characters and over the top action despite the gadgets being more up to date.
Brosnan plays 007 a lot more abrasive this time but still has time for some bad quips, Teri Hatcher isnt in it much although looks great but Michelle Yeoh is fantastic as Bonds Chinese spy ally.
As for Jonathan Pryce, its a bit of a waste as he just plays a bad parody of a Bond villain without actually adding anything new.
Music is very good with the Propellerheads modernisation of John Barrys earlier score although the theme from Sheryl Crow is a bit bland.- Was this review helpful to you?

Looks Awesome . Cant wait for it :p
Looks Awesome . Cant wait for it :p
woot, new lightsaber action
me want :D
Countdown initiated. Fangirl protocols initialized.
Not too sure about the art direction though.
I kind of like Star Wars... The lightsabers are so pretty :) Yay! Gogo Star Wars
This movie/series cofuses me at times, since they never mention (or make a distinction between) the 2D Clone Wars show nor the upcoming live-action tv show.
How long ago was it when the 2D series "Clone Wars" came and was really just short 5 minute previews. Only now after reading this do I see those WERE just previews and they're making a full series now.
PS: Is the Series also CGI? I see no mention of 2D anywhere
I'm definitely want to watch this with all of my friends ^-^
Epic want! I also recommend the clone wars novels especially Republic Commando.
Anyone know when this movie will be released ?

How MasterCard plans to transform mobile purchases
BARCELONA, Spain--The hype around mobile payments is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the coming transformation for how people purchase goods and services.
That's according to Ed McLaughlin, chief emerging payments officer for MasterCard, who spoke with CNET about his company's vision. While at the Mobile World Congress conference, MasterCard unveiled its MasterPass system, which addresses not only mobile payments, but also all forms of digital transactions. MasterPass is designed for purchases made in stores, online, or on the phone. "It's a foundation for moving to a world beyond plastic," McLaughlin … Read more

Sequoyah Groundwater Monitoring Well Detects Tritium
December 20, 2011
SODDY DAISY, Tenn. – Tennessee Valley Authority officials have reported finding elevated levels of tritium in a groundwater sample taken from one of two new onsite monitoring wells at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant. These elevated levels pose no threat to the health and safety of the public.
"The newly installed groundwater monitoring wells were placed in an area known to have contained tritium that was previously reported," Sequoyah Plant Manager Paul Simmons said. "The health and safety of the public are our primary concern, which is why providing additional monitoring capability to the plant's groundwater wells is an important measure for protecting the community and the environment."
There are a total of 16 groundwater monitoring wells on the Sequoyah site. The highest level found in the sampling on Friday, Dec. 16, was approximately 23,000 picocuries per liter. A "curie" is the standard measure for the intensity of radioactivity contained in a sample; a picocurie is one trillionth of a curie.
None of the Sequoyah groundwater monitoring wells is used for drinking water or irrigation purposes and no potable water wells are downstream of where the tritium was found. Additionally, TVA confirmed no detectable levels of tritium in any sampling of the Tennessee River where the plant discharges water.
"Sequoyah voluntarily communicated to federal, state and local officials these elevated sample results due to TVA's own conservative decision-making process and in accordance with a groundwater protection initiative established by the nuclear industry in 2006, " Simmons said. "TVA is reviewing the new monitoring well sample results, determining the cause of these elevated levels and how they relate to the previously reported releases of tritium."
Tritium is a naturally occurring radioactive form of hydrogen that is produced in the atmosphere and is also a byproduct of the production of electricity by nuclear power plants.
The Environmental Protection Agency sets tritium drinking water limits at 20,000 picocuries, which is only slightly less than the elevated levels found in the new monitoring well at Sequoyah. To put this number into perspective, if a person drank two liters of water every day with this amount of tritium for a year, he or she would receive a radiation dose of about four millirem. In comparison, one X-ray from a dental exam will have a radiation dose of about 10 millirem. On average, Americans receive approximately 620 millirem of background exposure annually from natural and man-made radioactive sources.
The Tennessee Valley Authority, a corporation owned by the U.S. government, provides electricity for 9 million people in parts of seven southeastern states at prices below the national average. TVA, which receives no taxpayer money and makes no profits, also provides flood control, navigation and land management for the Tennessee River system and assists utilities and state and local governments with economic development.

Sergio Leone Movies
Scion of movie actress Francesca Bertini and pioneering Italian director Vincenzo Leone (aka Roberto Roberti), Sergio Leone merged his movie-made dreams of America with his own brand of epic myth-making to create a quartet of 1960s Westerns so exceptional that they earned their own generic moniker. Though initially derided as nihilistically violent spaghetti Westerns, A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) galvanized the floundering genre, turning Leone into an international directorial star. Following his spectacular iron horse opera Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), however, Leone directed only two more movies before his death in 1989. Though he helmed a mere seven films, Leone's enormous influence was apparent from the late '60s onward, from Sam Peckinpah, John Woo, Quentin Tarantino, and of course Clint Eastwood, who dedicated his Unforgiven (1992) "To Sergio and Don." Born and raised in Rome, Leone adored Hollywood movies as a child. Despite his father's insistence that he study law, Leone began a parallel education in filmmaking at age 18 through family connections. After working on several films, including Vittorio De Sica's Bicycle Thieves (1947), Leone quit school to pursue a movie career full time. Leone worked as an assistant director on the Hollywood spectacles Quo Vadis? (1951), Ben-Hur (1959), and Sodom and Gomorrah (1961). Leone got his first shot at directing when he took over The Last Days of Pompeii (1959) from ailing mentor Mario Bonnard, and earned his first "directed by" credit with The Colossus of Rhodes (1960). Leone found his next project after seeing Akira Kurosawa's samurai film Yojimbo. Leone adapted Yojimbo as a low-budget Western to be shot in Spain. Low on the list of possible Americans to play Leone's Magnificent Stranger was a TV actor whom Leone cast more out of financial necessity than desire; and his composer, one-time schoolmate Ennio Morricone, made do with limited orchestra access. The result, re-titled A Fistful of Dollars (1964), turned out to be a wildly popular re-imagining of the hallowed Western myths, centering on a bloody conflict involving rival families and a sly gunslinger. Peppered with widescreen close-ups transforming faces into craggy "landscapes," and accompanied by a bizarre soundtrack of surf guitar, sound effects, and folk instruments, Fistful did away with the hoary sentiment, pastoral settings, and recent neurosis of Hollywood oaters. Though they would feud later over credit for their singularly accessorized gunfighter, Leone and Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name became an indelible portrait of taciturn skill, humor, and pragmatic brutality. A hit in Italy, Fistful inspired scores of spaghetti Westerns but few had the personal obsessions with prior movie myth-making that gave Leone's genre pictures artistic heft. Though the U.S. release of Fistful was delayed by rights problems over Yojimbo, its European run was so successful that Leone was pushed to quickly make a sequel. Puckishly titled For a Few Dollars More (1965), Leone and co-writer Luciano Vincenzoni expanded the ironic view of the West in a story involving two bounty hunters and a psychotic stoner bandit. For a Few Dollars More paired Eastwood's bounty-hunting Man with Lee Van Cleef, whose personal motivation for his mercenary violence is revealed aurally through Morricone's textured score and visually in flashbacks that lead up to the climactic "corrida" showdown with Gian Maria Volonté's bandit. For a Few Dollars More broke box-office records in Italy, paving the way for the even more expansive sequel The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). A Civil War epic starring Eastwood, Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach in the respective title roles, The Good's quest for gold included numerous dark jokes, venal ruses, and an elaborate bridge explosion on the way to the famously dramatic, three-way graveyard showdown. Yet another hit, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly sealed Leone's status as the premiere Italian Western director. Released in the U.S. in 1967 and 1968, the Dollars trilogy repeated its European success, turning Eastwood into a major star and Leone into a critical pariah for his alleged desecration of the Western. Nevertheless, the trilogy revived Hollywood's interest in the ailing genre and opened the door for a new cycle of critical Westerns, including Peckinpah's violent masterwork The Wild Bunch (1969). Given
carte blanche
to make another Western by Paramount, Leone embarked on a film meant to be his farewell to the genre. Working from a treatment by fellow cinéastes Bernardo Bertolucci and Dario Argento, and a script co-written with Sergio Donati entitled the ultra-legendary Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), Leone created an epic canvas encompassing archetypal characters and the railroad to augment the personal conflict between Charles Bronson's nameless "hero" and Henry Fonda's killer. Replete with references to Hollywood Westerns, including John Ford's signature Monument Valley, West transformed the path of Progress into a trail of death, beginning with the mini-epic credit sequence that Leone envisioned as the demise of his Good, Bad and Ugly stars. When Eastwood declined, Leone enlisted Woody Strode and Jack Elam. Shot to the majestic rhythms of Morricone's score, punctuated by elusive flashbacks and extreme close-ups, and drawn out to operatic length, Once Upon a Time in the West performed decently in Europe -- and became one of France's biggest all-time hits -- but was deemed fatally slow by American viewers. Though Paramount pulled the film and chopped 25 minutes, West flopped. While he had decided to stop directing Westerns, Leone was intrigued enough by the spaghettis' increasing politicization in the late '60s to co-write a screenplay with Vincenzoni and Donati about a Mexican peasant who meets an ex-IRA bomber during the Mexican Revolution. After failing to find a director -- Peter Bogdanovich made a rough early exit -- Leone agreed to do it. Released under such fan-friendly titles as Once Upon a Time, the Revolution and A Fistful of Dynamite, Duck, You Sucker! (1972) benefited from Rod Steiger and James Coburn's presence, and Leone's facility with action, but it too failed. Leone didn't direct another film for over a decade, turning down such projects as The Godfather (1972). After spending the 1970s producing films, Leone finally managed to mount his long-gestating gangster epic Once Upon a Time in America (1984). A sprawling meditation on Hollywood gangster mythology, America was intended to do for the gangster film what West did for the Western. Starring Robert De Niro and James Woods as two 1920s Jewish hoods, Leone told the story of their rise and fall through an atmospheric tapestry of flashbacks, scored by Morricone, that becomes as much an homage to the possibilities of cinema as an opium-addled criminal's potential fantasy. Or that's what America was in the full-length, three-hour-and-49-minute version that debuted to great acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival. The nervous American producers, however, hacked over an hour and 20 minutes out of the film before releasing it stateside. Reduced to an incomprehensible mess, Once Upon a Time in America flopped in America. Despite this artistic blow and a heart disease diagnosis, Leone began to plan an ambitious film about the WWII siege of Leningrad, even securing the Soviets' cooperation. This project, and a Western intended as a vehicle for Mickey Rourke and Richard Gere, however, were ended by Leone's death in February 1989. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

Troppo Forte
The Italian comic Carlo Verdone stars in (and directs and co-authors) this conventional, and unevenly humorous look at Oscar (Verdone), the neighborhood wannabe jock and biker who tries to land a part in a movie. After he is rejected, Oscar exacts revenge by causing a car crash that the producer's insurance has to cover. His plan backfires when the American actress in the film gets canned as a result (she was in the car), and moves in with him until her husband can come from Texas and bring her home. In the meantime, Oscar starts to take a shine to the woman -- even though his phone bills are beginning to take on the size of Texas as Nancy keeps dialing up her husband. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Though some viewers might be put off by its length, graphic violence, and absence of likable characters, Sergio Leone's final film is also a cinematic masterpiece. Spanning four decades, the film tells the story of David "Noodles" Aaronson (Robert De Niro) and his Jewish pals, chronicling their childhoods on New York's Lower East Side in the 1920s, through their gangster careers in the 1930s, and culminating in Noodles' 1968 return to New York from self-imposed exile, at which time he learns the truth about the fate of his friends and again confronts the nightmare of his past. The acting, the re-creation of the time period, the cinematography, and the music are all superb. However, even more important is Leone's ability to make the film work on so many different levels: it's both a criticism of gangster-film mythology and a continuation of the director's exploration of the issues of time and history. Strange as it may seem, the violence and gore in the first half of the film turn into a sad elegy about wasted lives and lost love. The film's strengths emerge only in its full 229-minute version -- the 139-minute and other edited versions don't make nearly the same impact. ~ Yuri German, Rovi

Bianco, Rosso E Verdone
The stage comedian Carlo Verdone directed and stars as the three main characters -- Furio, Mimmo, and Pasquale -- in this classic Italian comedy. All three men are driving back to their hometowns to vote on election day, and each has a different story and a different though easily recognizable personality type. Furio drives his wife nuts with his unceasing chatter -- in a switch of gender stereotypes -- and is obsessed with perfection. When his car gets a flat, he dashes off to phone the Automobile Club for help, but then finds that in his brief absence his tire has already been changed by a generous motorist. Perfectionist to the letter, he takes off the good tire and replaces it with the flat one so the Automobile Club will get the flat they expect. Mimmo is a Mama's boy from Trastevere who rides along with his oversized Grandmama, and the third character, Pasquale, suffers from socialization never succeeded in taking firm hold. As he re-enters Italy, driving back from Munich where he now lives, parts of his car get stolen one by one. The moral seems to be that Italy is filled with all types of people, from those who will replace your tire to those who walk off with it. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Un Sacco Bello
The format of this tripartite comedy by Carlo Verdone and also starring the Italian comic in all three leads worked so well that he did it again in 1981 with Bianco, Rosso, E Verdone. Like the second film, these three stories also take place on one day, August 15th, when Romans leave town en masse. Leo (Verdone here and in the next two leads) is a plain-looking repairman who loves to talk, is tied much too tightly to his mother's apron strings, and is trying to get out to a seaside town to visit her. In the meantime, an enchanting Spanish tourist pops into his life and he is caught between Mom and his better instincts. In the second story, Ruggero is a long-haired non-conformist entranced by a religious cult and under assault by his rational-minded father. The last story is about Enzo, a macho, narcissistic guy who plans on finding sexual adventure in Poland but then is stuck when his companion suddenly needs surgery and the only place available is a hospital along the road. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Il Gatto
Amedeo and Ofelia (Ugo Tognazzi and Mariangela Melato) own an old, fairly unprofitable apartment house in Rome. Someone has offered to buy the property for redevelopment for a lot of money, but only if the building has no tenants. Since six of its apartments are currently in use, Amedio and Ofelia decide to find ways to get every one of them emptied. In this antic comedy, they manage to blackmail a priest-tenant and have almost half the remainder arrested for crimes ranging from drug-trafficking to prostitution. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Originally titled Giù la Testa, Duck, You Sucker! is a Mexican-revolution yarn, filmed in Italy by spaghetti Western maven Sergio Leone. James Coburn is top-billed as John H. Mallory, an Irish soldier of fortune with a penchant for explosives. Rod Steiger plays Juan Miranda, another mercenary who wants to utilize Mallory's specialty to blast into a bank. Despite his avaricious intentions, Miranda becomes a hero when the hole he blows in the bank wall frees dozens of political prisoners. Duck, You Sucker originally ran 150 minutes, with U.S. release prints heavily trimmed. Taking into consideration the previous "Man With No Name" films masterminded by Leone, the distributors of Duck, You Sucker! reissued the film as A Fistful of Dynamite. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In Sergio Leone's epic Western, shot partly in Monument Valley, a revenge story becomes an epic contemplation of the Western past. To get his hands on prime railroad land in Sweetwater, crippled railroad baron Morton (Gabriele Ferzetti) hires killers, led by blue-eyed sadist Frank (Henry Fonda), who wipe out property owner Brett McBain (Frank Wolff) and his family. McBain's newly arrived bride, Jill (Claudia Cardinale), however, inherits it instead. Both outlaw Cheyenne (Jason Robards) and lethally mysterious Harmonica (Charles Bronson) take it upon themselves to look after Jill and thwart Frank's plans to seize her land. As alliances and betrayals mutate, it soon becomes clear that Harmonica wants to get Frank for another reason -- it has "something to do with death." As in his "Dollars" trilogy, Leone transforms the standard Western plot through the visual impact of widescreen landscapes and the figures therein. At its full length, Once Upon a Time in the West is Leone's operatic masterwork, worthy of its legend-making title. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

In the last and the best installment of his so-called "Dollars" trilogy of Sergio Leone-directed "spaghetti westerns," Clint Eastwood reprised the role of a taciturn, enigmatic loner. Here he searches for a cache of stolen gold against rivals the Bad (Lee Van Cleef), a ruthless bounty hunter, and the Ugly (Eli Wallach), a Mexican bandit. Though dubbed "the Good," Eastwood's character is not much better than his opponents -- he is just smarter and shoots faster. The film's title reveals its ironic attitude toward the canonized heroes of the classical western. "The real West was the world of violence, fear, and brutal instincts," claimed Leone. "In pursuit of profit there is no such thing as good and evil, generosity or deviousness; everything depends on chance, and not the best wins but the luckiest." Immensely entertaining and beautifully shot in Techniscope by Tonino Delli Colli, the movie is a virtually definitive "spaghetti western," rivaled only by Leone's own Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). The main musical theme by Ennio Morricone hit #1 on the British pop charts. Originally released in Italy at 177 minutes, the movie was later cut for its international release. ~ Yuri German, Rovi

This pulse-pounding follow-up to Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars brings back Clint Eastwood as the serape-clad, cigar-chewing "Man With No Name." Engaged in an ongoing battle with bounty hunter Col. Douglas Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef), the Man joins forces with his enemy to capture homicidal bandit Indio (Gian Maria Volontè). Both the Eastwood and Van Cleef characters are given understandable motivations for their bloodletting tendencies, something that was lacking in A Fistful of Dollars. In both films, however, the violence is raw and uninhibited -- and in many ways, curiously poetic. Leone's tense, tight close-ups, pregnant pauses, and significant silences have since been absorbed into the standard spaghetti Western lexicon; likewise, Ennio Morricone's haunting musical score has been endlessly imitated and parodied. For a Few Dollars More was originally titled Per Qualche Dollaro in Più; it would be followed by the last and best of the Man with No Name trilogy, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

By the time Sergio Leone made this film, Italians had already produced about 20 films ironically labelled "spaghetti westerns." Leone approached the genre with great love and humor. Although the plot was admittedly borrowed from Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo (1961), Leone managed to create a work of his own that would serve as a model for many films to come. Clint Eastwood plays a cynical gunfighter who comes to a small border town and offers his services to two rivaling gangs. Neither gang is aware of his double play, and each thinks it is using him, but the stranger will outwit them both. The picture was the first installment in a cycle commonly known as the "Dollars" trilogy. Later, United Artists, who distributed it in the U.S., coined another term for it: the "Man With No Name" trilogy. While not as impressive as its follow-ups For a Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966), A Fistful of Dollars contains all of Leone's eventual trademarks: taciturn characters, precise framing, extreme close-ups, and the haunting music of Ennio Morricone. Not released in the U.S. until 1967 due to copyright problems, the film was decisive in both Clint Eastwood's career and the recognition of the Italian western. ~ Yuri German, Rovi

Romolo e Remo
This unexceptional Duel of the Titans takes place on two different levels at once. The legendary brothers Romulus and Remus go at it to see who will ultimately survive and found the city of Caesars. And the slightly less legendary but still impressive Steve Reeves (Romulus) and Gordon Scott (Remus) are brought into a kind of body-building competition. Romulus and Remus are shown from their earliest beginnings as abandoned babes on the Tiber River, destined to face all sorts of challenges. First come their adventures after they are adopted by a female wolf as her own offspring. Then they later handle catastrophes like an erupting volcano or hand-to-paw combat with an irate bear. Once the two brothers have reached adulthood, they become enemies, as Remus seeks to aggrandize his power and Romulus seeks to cut him down to size. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Rory Calhoun stars as Dario, a captain in the Greek army who must travel to the island of Rhodes to destroy the huge bronze statue of Colossus, which hurls molten lead at its attackers. Dario also battles for his life in the arena and saves victims from a torture chamber before the climactic earthquake which brings the Colossus down. Many of the supporting players in this Italian-French-Spanish co-production went on to become regulars in the exploitation films of Jesus Franco. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Gli Ultimi Giorni di Pompeii
This was ironically the last film made by director Mario Bonnard, and it follows the pattern of the classic Italian costume dramas about macho or mythic heroes, in this case, a certain Glaucus (Steve Reeves, the glorious Greco-Roman past could not occur without him). Taking the cue from its larger-than-life hero, the story, set in 79 A.D., bounds from one spectacle to another without undue concern for nuanced dialogue or subtleties of character. Glaucus has to single-handedly tackle the brutal thugs that are taking over Pompeii and is forced to fight off a lion and a crocodile -- though not all at the same time. He overcomes wounds and enemies in preparation for his toughest fight, that of rescue and survival when Mt. Vesuvius blows its top, the biggest and final spectacle in a series of battleground fireworks. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

At 19,314 feet, Mount Kilimanjaro has the highest summit on the continent of Africa. But if you take it slow and steady, you can make it to the top. Along the way, you'll get a full view of Tanzania's windswept savannahs, and when climbers finally reach Uhuru Peak, it's a rite of passage to stop and look to a sea of clouds below them. On this 12-day, 11-night Mount Kilimanjaro trek, you'll have a fleet of expert guides, porters, and cooks at your side as you make the ascent to the summit. Click to see the full itinerary. Days 1–2 (Thursday and Friday): Your plane will depart from Washington-Dulles International Airport (IAD) (other gateways are available by request for an additional fee) and touch down at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) in Tanzania. There, Odyssey Safaris staff will pick you up in a shuttle and take you to the African Tulip Hotel. Feel free to explore the town of Arusha for the day or rest up in the hotel. Day 3 (Saturday): The caravan then embarks on a three-hour drive into Mount Kilimanjaro National Park. For the first leg of the journey, your group will be accompanied by a game ranger, who will act as a mediator and an advisor when you encounter wild buffalo, elephants, or escaped Smokey the Bears along the trail. Guides, porters, and cooks will join the expedition as it follows the Lemosho Route, a remote trail covered in lush vegetation. Throughout the excursion, each trekker will carry only a daypack filled with personal belongings. Days 4–5 (Sunday and Monday): You'll gain nearly 2,000 feet in altitude on Sunday's portion of the trip, which takes you beyond the rainforest level of the mountain. For this stretch of trail, hikers will course through the Shira Caldera, a volcanic cone and high desert plateau. You'll take some time to get acclimated to the altitude on Monday; that leg of the expedition has an elevation gain of only 214 feet. Days 6–7 (Tuesday and Wednesday): The highlight of day 6 is a trek beyond the Lava Tower; afterward, you'll spend the night at Barranco campsite, which is situated above the clouds and has excellent panoramic views. On day 7, campers will reach heights of 13,452 feet in the Karanga Valley. Days 8–9 (Thursday and Friday): After four hours of slow and steep hiking on Thursday, you'll be rewarded for your hard work as you make the final ascent to the summit. That evening, hikers awaken in the middle of the night and forge ahead to Stella Point, located about six hours away, just in time to catch the sunrise. If you wish, you can head up to Uhuru Peak, the tallest point on the African continent at 19,341 feet. After reaching the pinnacle of Mount Kilimanjaro, the group will make its way back down through the rainforest.Day 10 (Saturday): Travelers descend the mountain and head back to Arusha, where they spend their final night at the African Tulip Hotel.Days 11–12 (Sunday and Monday): The group departs from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) on Sunday and arrives stateside on Monday. Read the Fine Print for important info on travel dates and other restrictions.
John Gizzi and Diann Greco, the American Wine Society–certified wine judges at Make Wine With Us, teach wine aficionados to create their own wines using grapes harvested in Californian and Chilean vineyards. At the start of the nine-month process (California grapes in the fall, Chile grapes in the spring), winemakers-to-be assemble with fellow enthusiasts to learn the intricacies of the trade. Patrons learn to crush and destem grapes in a machine called a crusher-destemmer, named after the device's favorite Germanic metal band. Following the crushing process, a hydraulic press forces juice into barrels, where it shall remain until the conclusion of its sweet, sweet metamorphosis.
When wine awakens from its hibernation, patrons remove suspended yeast cells and skin particles though a process called racking. At the end of the nine-month period, newly minted winemakers lean on family and friends to fill, cork, and custom-label the finished product. Budding vintners then tote home their vintages to share with family, friends, and robot butlers with built-in carafes.

2 banks robbed Friday, appear unrelated
Authorities are investigating two bank robberies that happened within two hours of each other Friday morning in East Baton Rouge Parish, but do not appear to be related.
The first occurred about 9 a.m. when an unidentified man walked into the Chase Bank branch inside Albertsons on College Drive carrying a note that demanded cash from a clerk, Baton Rouge police said. He grabbed an undisclosed amount of cash and fled the scene on foot.
Authorities described the robber as a 30-year-old black man, about 5 foot 7 inches tall, weighing 210 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black shirt and khaki pants.
About 11 a.m., East Baton Rouge Parish sheriff's officials responded to a bank robbery at the Regions Bank at 8756 Siegen Lane. Authorities said a man wearing a long black wig entered the bank and gave the teller a note saying he had a gun and demanding money.
"The teller did not actually see the weapon," said Casey Rayborn Hicks, a Sheriff's Office spokeswoman. "He fled with an undisclosed amount of money."
The Regions Bank robber was described as a black man wearing a navy blue hat, a white "thermal-type shirt" with a navy blue shirt over it, dark pants and gray gloves. He was between 30 and 35 years old, weighed between 180 and 200 pounds and was about 5 feet 9 inches tall, authorities said.
He was seen fleeing in the direction of Siegen and Perkins Road.
Hicks said the two robberies appear to be unrelated, given the different descriptions of the robbers.
Police asked anyone with information about the Chase Bank robbery to call (225) 389-3845 or Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-7867. Sheriff's Officials asked anyone with information about the Regions bank robbery to call (225) 389-5000 or Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-7867.

- " The staff there is nice, friend, and helpful! The breakfast and the bar are nice! Just remind that you would have to go "through" the bar zone if you wanted to take a shower. And the arrangement of the rooms are kind of wierd that people living in other rooms would have to pass through our room to get into their rooms! Some of my friends don't like it but that's ok for me. For me it's a nice place to stay! "

- " A nice place in the middle of the city. The staff was nice and okay. The only problem might be that since its located over a bar, there is sometimes noise coming from people leaving the bar and with no AC, you need to leave your windows open during summer nights. Nevertheless, a good choice. "
- 17 Aug 2013 Anonymous Canada
- " The one staffer I dealt with was efficient, helpful, and friendly. You go to Brugges for atmosphere; the place had good location near central Brugges and a unique atmosphere with Bar at street level and nice bunks in the shared dorms overlooking the old city road. A lot of stairs, have to go accross courtyard, through bar, up stairs to get to "Co-Ed shower room" - It all worked out. Can't beat happy hour 1 Euro beer. Good price - friendly atmosphere. "

Many American's missed ever hearing about famous African Americans in history while growing up in my generation. It was a topic introduced into many of America's public school curriculums only about fifteen to twenty years ago. We never knew much about Martin Luther King, Jr. just that he was assassinated before we were born or before we knew about life. We didn't know that a staple in the American diet, the peanut, that is used in literally hundreds of different and products was really unknown to the United States consumer, until a young boy, born a slave, George Washington Carver became a scientist and agriculturalist and unlocked the peanut's secrets. These weren't people who we were introduced to us as making a huge difference to the nation or our world, but they really did.
Schools aren't perfect at educating their students about the contributions made to our nation by African Americans but they are trying. In fact, many schools do a great job at using the month of February, Black History Month as a way to teach some important themes to students. Teachers are actually trying to teach students about some of the famous African Americans that have done so much for our nation. I've been impressed by teachers who build their entire curriculum around famous African Americans during the month of February. Now, when you walk down a school's halls there are art projects and poems dedicated to Martin Luther King, Jr. There are books about African American history and culture.
We are doing a better job at educating our children about the history of African Americans in our nation. But we still have a long way to go before we're in the right place. We shouldn't just be focusing on this topic during Black History Month. It needs to be something that we teach all year long and not just at school.

One of the most beautiful beaches in the country! Take a picnic lunch. Go for a long walk. The water is blue and clear and the beach is white sand.
One of the most beautiful beaches in the country! Take a picnic lunch. Go for a long walk. The water is blue and clear and the beach is white sand.
I live here and this is one of the reasons. There is not a lot of people here during certain times of the year and when they are here, it is still not that busy that you can't soak in the sun and enjoy the view
We went for Thanksgiving 2012. We had an awesome time, nothing to do ;0)...just what we wanted. Our Yorky Henry loved being able to wonder the beach and dip his toes in the water. We built fires on the beach at night and played guitars and had sing-alongs. I will always treasure this time with family.
We have been going to Cape San Blas/Port St. Joe for more than 20 years. It is a GREAT place to vacation with friends and family. We go scalloping in the bay just about every day. We usually bring a boat, but this year we rented a pontoon boat from Presnalls(sp). There are GREAT restruants, that's one of our hardest... More
If you want the beach to yourself this is your place. Plenty of seashells and roped off Sea Turtle nests! The dolphins play every morning. Not allot of tourist entertainment but if you fish or like long walks on a nice beach you like Cape San Blas. The water was not good when we were there but I don't know... More
I came to see the lighthouse hopefully before it was being moved. I guess I didn't get there in time. I could see the top of the lighthouse from the road, but the small dirt road that I believe went there was gated and had no admittance. No one in the town could even tell me where it was; I... More
My wife and I spent a week at Cape San Blas. We are both nature photographers and had a great time there. The state park and the light house area present the best photo opportunities. Here is a link to a video that I did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwxTmtqESwk
I've been going to Cape San Blas for six years now, staying for two weeks at a time. I always make my arrangements through Sunset Reflections Vacation Rentals which is located in Cape San Blas. Anne and her staff are top notch people.......they couldn't be more caring and helpful. I've never been to a nicer area......I'm actually considering moving to... More
Google "dog friendly beaches" & this is your destination.Dogs are allowed & incouraged in condo's,beaches,restaurants, & in public in general.Beautiful white sandy beaches on the gulf side ,calm waters for boating/snorkeling in the bay.Did i mention how the crowds were none & how much they love their scallops?
This is one of the most beautiful, untouched stretches of beach I have ever seen. Absolutely perfect!

A worn-out automatic transmission will not only dampen your driving experience, it can adversely affect fuel economy as well. If your transmission shudders, slips or the fluid has turned from pink to brown, it could be time for transmission replacement. Instead of taking chances on a rebuilt transmission, why not get the durability and reliability you expect from a Genuine Toyota automatic transmission? These transmissions are all-new (not remanufactured), so you know they'll fit your car and will provide years of trouble-free service.

I have done several short cycles of oral AAS (mix between methylated and non methylated).
I noticed with every single cycle, I have had more and more GI issues during and post cycle. Even after coming off cycle, the symptoms were reduced however never disappeared. After each cycle I would say there has been a cumulative effect on my GI system. Issues I have:
-Excessive Belching
-Abdominal Distension (my stomach is never flat anymore)
Is there any reason why you think that oral steroids would cause this? blood work checks out fine, shows no issues with gallbladder, bilirubin slightly high in the AM, liver values all good, no food allergies found (however I am becoming more intolerant to dairy and wheat).
Also I notice it with non anabolic hormones as well.. such as 6-OXO, 11-OXO (low dose), etc. None of my cycle have ever been more then 4 weeks.
