What I want to know is...do we pronounce it as Kee-noe-ah or Keen-wah?
I've heard it both ways.
I haven't eaten the stuff since 1990, when a quinoa-borne stone broke my left rear molar. It was gruesome and painful for a very, very long time until the glory of the gold crown I got in 1998.
Quinoa. Feh.
keen-wah
I had lunch from a new to me place today because I did not want to go outside. meh. thank goodness I have Cheetos and Happy Colas to follow-up.
It is pronounced as msbelle says, but it's fun to say "Noah Kee-noe-ah".
"Noah Kee-noe-ah
That made me giggle
eta: then I started chanting Noah Kee-noe-ah, fe fi finoa-Noah!
Re: organicube. The pictures and diagrams are not very good, so maybe I'm visualizing this wrong. But it looks to me like all the curves and things are actually wasting some of that limited space.
3 Smart Things About Sleeping Late
1 // You may need more sleep than you think.
Research by Henry Ford Hospital Sleep Disorders Center found that people who slept eight hours and then claimed they were "well rested" actually performed better and were more alert if they slept another two hours. That figures. Until the invention of the lightbulb (damn you, Edison!), the average person slumbered 10 hours a night.
2 // Night owls are more creative.
Artists, writers, and coders typically fire on all cylinders by crashing near dawn and awakening at the crack of noon. In one study, "evening people" almost universally slam-dunked a standardized creativity test. Their early-bird brethren struggled for passing scores.
3 // Rising early is stressful.
The stress hormone cortisol peaks in your blood around 7 am. So if you get up then, you may experience tension. Grab some extra Zs! You'll wake up feeling less like Bert, more like Ernie.

DAMN RIGHT. Ahem.

Yeah, because I'm beating the crap out of my snooze alarm.
Cuddly Toys of Death
If you’re sick of all the cute, sweet plushies out there, then these great toys are for you. They’re by artist Patricia Waller who has a ton of other awesome designs as well. These specific toys belong to her “Accident” series and the “How to kill your first love” series. I love the teddy bear myself.
It's so hard to pick a fave, but I love the tiger, the shark and the unicorn.

Wouldn't that totally depend on when you went to sleep?
