Watch the recycling man cryR.M. Handel "RLM"
I bought it just to watch the garbage man struggle pitifully as he attempted to fit the box into the back of his recycling truck. Worth it.

who needs a housethanks geico
Well my husband and I saw this tv and thought it was too good of an opportunity to pass but we lacked the funds so we just decided to accept the fact that it just wouldn't happen. Well my husband decided to cut down a few tree in the yard since we were having an ice storm and we didn't want them to fall on the car or the house. It just so happen that the tree fell on the house but thanks to geico our insurance covered the horrible accident and we had just enough money to buy the tv!!! We are now living at his moms house but the tv looks amazing in his teenage bed room with slurry girl posters and action figured surrounding it. We couldn't be happier. This tv has helped us appreciate life and switching to geico for better home insurance.

Two choices...and I'm glad that it was this one.Maek
The FBI had offered me the choice recently of paying the ransom for a loved one. Then I saw this TV, and WOW, I simply could not say "no!" Now, I watch CNN all the time and see my kidnapped family member whenever I want, hearing that they have no new leads on the case before moving on to Bieber/Lohan spending time in jail together. At $40,000, I have no buyer's remorse whatsoever.
The best part is that the "ticker tape mini-news feed" on the bottom are in letters approximately 9" high...even my mother-in-law could read them if she wasn't constantly nagging me about when I was going to get around to meeting the ransomer's demands. Sheesh...you have a couple other daughters, you know. That, and she doesn't fully appreciate the definition on the screen when we're watching TAKEN on Blu-Ray. I mean, seriously, we were watching it, both of us crying, and I looked over at her and said, "I know...it's a beautiful picture, right?" while sniffling. She screamed some obscenities at me and left.

What a great TVBruce E. Friedman
It is excellent and can even be viewed with great clarity when outside. Which is great because that is where we are now living. I have figured out a way to knit together the styrene cover it come in into a tent and we are using the box for fuel. When the stream in my backyard thaws we will even have a place to bathe if we can hold out til spring. The bank has been very kind and understood completely when we fell 6 months behind in our mortgage in order to pay for this beauty. I figure in the summer I will breathe new life into the Drive in movie business with this thing

Can't wait!!!!!!Adam
I saw this TV, and said I have to have it. I didn't have the money to pay for it, but my long lost cousin, who is a prince in Nigeria, said, if I give him my social security number and my bank information, he will wire me the money. Thank you prince Zumba Zumba Zumba.

Almost too clear...Seattle guy
I bought this after raiding my son's college fund. Before you slash at me with negative comments, the kid is 23 and works at Taco Bell. That ship has sailed. Anyway, my biggest gripe with this TV is that I just saw Justin Bieber's arrest photo on the news in total HD super-duper clarity. Did you guys know that chick's a dude?

The ultimate viewing experienceMr. Alexander Campbell
There seems to be some concern about the price, well when you change it in UK pounds its so much less, downside no free shipping.
I must admit I was disgusted to read about selling children and body organs, how can these people live with themselves. So as an unemployed merchant banker with a love of the "white stuff" I had what could only be described as an "Eureka" moment. After checking all my credit cards, I found one with just enough credit to book a return trip to Columbia. Previously I had Skyped with Pablo (can't remember his surname but think it ended "cobar") over the internet and facilitated "a few" imports on his behalf, He said as he trusted me I could have some on credit as long as he got his money more than 28 days after collection of the "merchandise".
The outward trip was fine although the return home was okay until I hit customs, let me say that a full body search is an experience that everyone should have at least once in their lifetime or twice if they liked it first time round. Regretfully, I am unable to reveal how I got past customs, Pablo said it wouldn't be good for my health. Such a nice guy, didn't even charge for the medical advice.
After a couple of weeks doing the rounds at few parties it was job done and the order was placed. Well it arrived with Amazon's usual efficiency and what can I say about this bad boy that hasn't been said before. We have saved on heating land lighting as now we all live in our car which is parked across the road. We put the tv in the lounge window turn up the volume and enjoy the 4k brilliance from the optimal viewing distance recommended of 40 yards. A hidden bonus is that we have met all our neighbours and for only £10 viewing fee they too enjoy our wonderful TV.
Pablo on the other hand hasn't turned out to be the friend I thought he was. Admittedly in my haste to get the TV I had to do a few special deals and after expenses and buying my dream TV I found I was slightly short of what he was looking for. People can get so uppity when you "welch on a deal" (his words not mine BTW). Next thing I knew there was two rather muscly guys on my doorstep asking which part of my body I was least attached to. I said I was attached to all parts of my body (thought a joke would lighten the atmosphere, boy was I wrong), guess something got lost in translation as not even a trace of smile showed on their faces, then all hell let loose.
Fast forward a few hours and I finally managed to do a deal.... Pablo got most of his money and most of my fingers, thank goodness for previous reviewers mentioning gesture control. On the plus side I still have my TV and once the double vision and perforated eardrums clear I will again enjoy the viewing experience that is the Samsung UN85S9 85-Inch 4K Ultra HD 120Hz 3D Smart LED UHDTV (Black). On the negative, well there's no negatives after a trip the ER I am so pumped up on painkillers I could go 12 rounds with a grizzly.
So why not 5 stars? I have taken one off because there should be a no remote control needed option, that could have saved a finger or at least part of it.

Very SatisfiedJames O. Thach
My wife and I bought this after selling our daughter Amanda into white slavery. We actually got a refurbished. It's missing the remote, but oh well-- for $10K off, I can afford a universal, right? The picture is amazing. I've never seen the world with such clarity.
Amanda, if you're reading this, hang in there, honey! We'll see you in a year.
I just wanted to add an addendum to my review. Since posting it, we have received a flood of responses. People have said some pretty hurtful things--even questioning our values. Let me assure you, this was not an easy decision to make, and we made it as a family. Obviously, it's very personal. But in light of all the second-guessing, I wanted to explain our thinking.
First and foremost, screen size. I really think you can't go too big. 85" may seem huge, but you get used to it fast. Second, resolution. Is 4K overkill? Please, that's what they said about 1080P! More dots = better. Period. And as far as this being a $40,000 "dumb" TV, people need to re-read my initial post: WE BOUGHT IT REFURBISHED. It was only $30,000.
Some of you may think I'm avoiding the "elephant in the room"-the real reason why this was such a heart-wrenching choice. So let's just get it out there. Yes, the 120 Hz refresh rate is a disappointment, especially on a 4K. But life is full of compromises. And frankly, we hardly notice. All in all, no regrets.
P.S., as for our daughter, NO ONE has the right to question our parenting. Totally out of bounds. Amanda was going into 7th grade, so it was going to be a transitional year anyway. Now she gets to see the world. How many kids her age get to go to Bahrain? I sure as heck didn't, but you don't hear me screaming "child abuse." Bottom line: MYOB! Seriously.
Has it been a year already? Wow! I guess that's what 8 hours a day of immersive TV will do for you! Many of you have expressed your eagerness for an update. Well, here goes.
Generally, the Samsung has held up beautifully. We have noticed a little bit of lag, mostly in multi-player gaming--but not enough to cost us any firefights. There have been some issues up-imaging low rez content, but that's to be expected when you early-adopt--we're still "waiting on the world to change," as John Mayer would say (gosh he's talented.) On the plus side, we feel like we are now officially part of the cast of GOT. The other night Peg almost had to open a window to let Daenerys' dragons fly out!
And you'll all be happy to know our darling Amanda is back with us, safe and sound. She has changed a little. She's less talkative than before (though she had some choice words for me when I asked her to clean her room). And she's started wearing eye make-up, which has Peg a bit concerned. But welcome to thirteen, I guess. We're just glad to have her home. And she loves the TV. That's the main thing. In fact, she spends so much time in front of it lately, you'd swear she owns it.

Murder arrest: Charlottesville woman nabbed in Norfolk
Police investigating the suspicious death of a man on Fairway Avenue have announced that a suspect, a Charlottesville woman, has been nabbed in Norfolk. Forty-seven-year-old Wanda Maria Turner, a resident of the 100 block of Middlesex Drive, was arrested the evening of Monday, March 5 by Norfolk Police in connection with the death of 51-year-old Robert Edward Snead Jr., "the apparent victim of a crime of violence," according to a Police release.
According to the release, officers were summoned around 8:10am Monday to 407-B Fairway, the basement apartment of a compact gray-shingle and red brick duplex about a block northeast of Meade Park in the Woolen Mills neighborhood.
By late afternoon, at the time of a reporter's visit, a single black-and-white police cruiser was parked outside the apartment, whose corrugated metal vestibule was adorned with a simple American flag.
"Eddie was a wonderful person," says his brother-in-law, Brian Coalson, who says Snead–- who grew up in Goochland as the son of a legendary, longtime press foreman with Media General–- enjoyed Nascar races, going fishing, and attending family reunions near the Cumberland County village of Cartersville.
"I know I see it through rose-colored glasses, but you could ask anyone," says Coalson. "Everywhere he worked, everyone loved him and gravitated toward him."
"He was a great person," agrees Ralph Keene, manager of at Battlefield Ford, the auto body shop where Snead worked. "You couldn't ask for anybody nicer."
While Snead had a driving record that included three DUI convictions, family members point out that his last one occurred over a decade ago.
Brother-in-law Coalson says Snead "never met a stranger." And, sadly, family members say they're receiving reports that the suspect may have lived in the neighborhood and borrowed money from Snead.
An online people search service, Anywho, indicates that Turner formerly dwelled at 400 Fairway, and a check of court records shows that Turner was arrested in Albemarle in 2010 on a misdemeanor charge of driving on a suspended license and then in October of last year was convicted for failing to appear in court and sentenced to 10 days in jail. In 2009, she earned a 10-day sentence for failure to appear on some misdemeanor bad-check charges in Charlottesville.
In this case, Turner has been charged with murder.

Ok so what does his DUI's have to do with anything? According to your report he has been a victim of a crime of violence. So why don't you try to focus on finding out who did this to him and report on that instead of sitting their digging up dirt on this man?! Everyone makes mistakes but now is not the time to broadcast them. This is truly crappy reporting at its best. I'm sure this is what his family would want to see posted about him at their time of sorry. That is totally uncalled for. And totally irrelevant to the story.
@Brittany, I agree, whats the point? It was reported the same way at the Daily Progress. Have journalists just gotten lazy, or stupid?
You are right, digging up old stories is what they do best ,and they will only print the bad ones not if they have done any good deed, did they even try to find out if he had driver's license?
Today's journalists are essentially no more credible than the guy sipping a beer next to you in the corner pub. Can you spell L-A-Y-Z-E-E?
First two graphs of this story: regurgitation of a CPD press release.
Third graph: a meaningless observation that only makes one wonder why the call came in at 0800 and it took until late afternoon to have a reporter saunter over to Fairway Avenue. Cville ain't Philly you know...it's a five minute drive from downtown to Fairway, even in snow.
Fourth graph: Meaningless information that the victim was pinched for DUI over a decade ago.
Folks, don't hold your breath for a Pulitzer on this one...and keep your day job. Harbor no illusions that you're the next Jimmy Breslin or Bob Terry.
R.I.P.: Satchell Paige
Kind of disappointing. But 29 takes the cake. The put up a piece about possible sex offenders coming in close proximity to school students during voting hours. If thats not yellow journalism I don't know what is. Grabbing headlines is one thing but doing it with your mind in the gutter is something else. Tonight was the last time I will ever visit 29 news, I hope the Hook doesn't follow that trend.
In my opinion the hook is doing no better.
29, DP, and the Hook. Really no worse than what poses for news anywhere else. Of course that's not saying much. Really is pitiful digging up the criminal history of the dead man. And 29s story of the possible sex offenders was just ridiculous.
that all Cville media tend to be pretty lame, but the Hook is really one of the worst. If this poor guy died in an automotive accident, his DUIs would be relevant. Save the DUIs if they become relevant later on--like if the incident turns out to be alcohol related.
Right now, what you've got is: Dog Bites Man. Man left toilet seat up three times.
I agree. In what way is a DUI arrest in 2001 relevant to a possible murder investigation in 2012?
I have always referred to 29 news as the stupid news and weather....UGH!
Why didn't you delete the unnecessary details about the victim while you were at it? Is there some reason to suspect that it had something to do with his murder?
I am relieved suspect was arrested and I hope now she can rot in hell that she put him through. He was really good friendand and I will miss him and his smile terribly.
I am so glad they caught that b@!#$ I too hope she rots in hell for what she has done. Too bad they can't enforce the same punishment on her as what she did to Eddie. Eddie was a good person & didn't deserve that. I also like how the crappy reporting comes back into play here yet again. Ironically his criminal record was worse? Honestly who cares. I think murder is a lot worse than a DUI. If I were Eddie's family I would sue the hell outta the newspapers that are reporting his past mistakes but you live and you learn. No respect for the dead. R.I.P Eddie. You will be missed.
@Brittany, unfortunately his family can not sue if what the paper reports is the truth, even if it happened decades ago - it is truth and a matter of public record.
I'm glad they caught someone but she will be out in 10 years - you get more time for drugs than murder and probably more for a DUI than murder.
Yep..I agree as well..his record should be eliminated from the story..it is as if the news sets out to make the murder less severe or insignificant just because he had a criminal history..wrong in my book! You know whether he made bad choices in his life doesn't lessen the fact that he was still someones family or someones friend..or that his life was of lesser value. I would say the same for those who fell victim to suicide as well..often they don't get recognized as being important based on their choice to end their life..as though their life was entirelymeaningless..that is ridiculous! I will never understand how this society has become so cold and heartless! Every life is important regardless of bad choices made..murder is not acceptable she will have to suffer consequences for that..which would and should be severe. But she determined and had the choice to determine the worth of her own life..that is different than someone else taking a life or someone not realizing that life is worth living for.
This ought to prove interesting to watch in the coming year. We just finished a murder trial, black man killed black wife, 15 years. Another murder trial, white man kills white woman, 26 years. What happens when a black woman kills a white man?
"Ironically, the victim appears to have a more serious criminal record. In 2001, Snead, then using an Ashland address, was convicted in Albemarle as a three-time driving-under-the-influence offender and with violating probation, both of which are felonies according to online records."
Even better.........this doesn't qualify as irony. Somebody with a conviction or record of some sort who later gets murdered in their home isn't irony. The earlier convictions aren't connected to the present murder, and one isn't the unintended opposite outcome of the other.
Back to school, Hawes! Back to the 8th grade, where we had to read O. Henry stories to learn what irony was all about! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gift_of_the_Magi
Jim got hosed in 'Gift of the Magi.' Della's hair would have eventually grown back.
Hawes, now we have a suspect, how about digging up her past criminal records? Find out why she was not in jail prior to murdering Eddie?
Hawes, is there a photo of the victim....a mugshot, perhaps?
@Cheryl Tweedy
So true! I was thinking almost the same thing when I posted that link. "Oh, her hair would have grown back...."
@LOCAL, you want a mugshot of a victim???? are you insane???????????????
sunshine, relax. i would like to see a photo, yes - to see if this victim is who i think he is. the uproar over the article mentioning that he has a criminal record is silly to me - like hawes said, those are the facts they have about who this man was, and if anyone has other information they would like to share, i'm sure they will include it in the report.
that said, it seems to me that a person with this record likely has a mugshot on file, and if no other photographs of the victim are available, any picture would help the public better identify him.
@local yes it may be facts that they have about Eddie but it doesn't mean that it needs to be broadcast to everyone right now. And since when does a DUI define who you are??? If thats the case im sure everyone has something about them that they have done that would label you as a bad person in societies eyes. That seems silly to me because it is totally irrelevant to the story. I'm sure if it was someone in your family or one of your friends you wouldn't be saying the same... just think about it...
never did i say the dui's defined him nor do i think the article suggested that. i am glad to see the updated information about Mr. Snead and meant no disrespect asking for a photo.
may justice be served...
Thanks Hawes for the update
@booo I got my irony training from Wayne Booth "A Rhetoric of Irony" so hush up you elementary reader bully. It is ironic that the person with the more serious criminal background would be harmed by one with little or no record. Not extraordinary irony but it qualifies.
That said it's a tacky commentary nonetheless but appears to have been removed.
Thanks for the update
They couldn't find a mug shot of the murderer so they put up a picture of Lil Wayne.
Alright, I am having really hard time trying to understand why she had to kill him?? Couldn't she have just stole whatever she wanted and leave him alone? It is not like she had not done that before...
Eddie was a good guy . He had a really nasty curveball in little league . Loved his 4 wheel drive trucks . And did enjoy a lil party back in the day .. Im really sad he lost his life in this manner , May justice be served . RIP Robert "Eddie" Snead jr
Again, here we go...
"While Snead has a record of three DUI convictions, family members point out that the last one occurred over a decade ago."--Glad you needed family members to cite that for you.
"To all of you concerned about the late Mr. Snead..."--smarmy comment that highlights the inherent laziness of today's journalists--er, entertainers. The original line should not have even been in the story. You do not insert a line in a story if it is not relevant, even if it does fill space. And soliciting readers to call with comments...suppose one calls? Who do you call to confirm the accuracy?
"The corrugated metal vestibule decorated with a simple American flag." = "The entrance was simply decorated with a small American flag." The awning is corrugated metal, not the vestibule. A vestibule is between the outer door and an inner chamber, like in a church.
"Nascar" should be all caps, as it is a proper name representing initials (like NBA, NFL or NHL).
Interesting that there is not one line in the story about attempting to contact CPD for more information. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that, perhaps, someone on your midnight crime beat tried to reach someone.
And check graphs 1 and 6 for typos...some questionable syntax there. ("Manager of at Battlefied Ford..."
Finally, how does Longo keep those cars so squeaky clean on a snowy day?
R.I.P.: Ronnie Montrose
Liberalace, I don't know how they keep the cars clean now. But I can tell you how they did it 15 to 20 years ago. They brought trustees over from the jail almost every day and washed them in the basement level of the cop shoppe. We had to unload and march prisoners through the soapy water and suds on the smooth concrete floor, a pretty serious slip and fall risk. I was always surprised we didn't have a few intentional slip and fall incidents so prisoners could sue the city. I guess the prisoners just weren't thinking fast enough.
We also had trustees washing the city sheriff vehicles every day. This is why the sheriff's office always had clean cars. I would think the city sheriff still uses trustees.
I am glad to see them spit-shined (along with their uniforms). Hopefully, that translates to Longo doing a good job.
BTW, whatever happened to Buddy Rittenhouse?
R.I.P.: Bobby Riggs
Sunshine~~ if you are who I think you are, Eddie spoke of you alot. You were a very dear friend to him!!! He was a great guy and Im glad me and my family had the opportunity to meet him and spend time with him. He always talked to my children and from time to time chase them around. He loved life, he kept to himself and didnt bother others. They always bothered him and took advantage of his kindness. And as far as him having a record, that doesnt have anything to do with this case. The public need to turn their attention to Wanda Turner, the one that took his life. She has a violent history!!!! PEOPLE do your research. Eddie didnt deserve this he was a hard working, laid back, quiet guy. RIP Eddie you will be trully missed.
Jess, yup that is me
Liberalace has a better understanding of journalism than Hawes. "Hey folks, I'm sitting here on my couch with my laptop and all I could find on the Internet was the guy's arrest record, so I had no choice but to toss that out there, but hey, it's your job to call me if you want relevant information in the story--I'm a journalist, after all, I don't go looking for stuff, I wait for whatever comes to me!"
Sweet gig if you can get it.
Robert "Eddie" Snead was a great person and should be remebered in that way. Growing up with him, you would always find him to be kind and genourous. He has a wonderful family that will miss him dearly.
Rest in Peace my friend...
Ed Butler Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida
Buddy Rittenhouse moved to Augusta County after the City Manager made him retire. A retired fireman showed me where he lives one day while I was at the Augusta hospital. It's a row of townhouses a stone throw from the new hospital. As usual in past discussions with other people, the fireman didn't speak too highly of him.
@liberallace...is that really fair/necessary? Does someone follow you around on your job critiquing everything you do? Hawes has been responsive here and I think he gives it his best shot. That's good enough for me.
Now I will never hear Eddie's voice, laugh and jokes.
Seriously, you want to know why this women got 2nd degree for a crime in which she waited and killed Eddie, its because shoddy newspapers like yourself chose to immediately bring up the negative in a person. A DUI from 10 years ago has no relation to the current situation. Eddie made the people around him smile and just seeing his picture in the news brought tears to my eyes. Have known him forever. Newspapers who victimize the victim should be shut down. Learn to report because you lack respect he was the victim not the accused!!! Eddie had changed and was making progress, I bet everyone at your newspaper has skeletons in your closet too. This women should be getting 1st degree and life in prison or death obviously she has no respect for the law.
@caringperson- Sorry you lost your buddy, you have my sympathy, but the rest of your post just doesn't hold water.
I think she should be charged with 1st degree murder instead of 2nd. I mean 2nd degree murder? really. I just hope justice is served here. I wonder what other charges are pending on her?
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out.
Perp got/gets money from good guy, goes back to get more.
Good guy says no to perp.
Perp gets primeval and kills good guy.
Perp would have hurt/killed someone else if not Eddie.
The world lost another good guy.
RIP Eddie.

The second Legend of Korra character that I will upload is the eldest daughter to Tenzin, and older sister to both Ikki, and Meelo. Like with her brother and sister she is going to be in the new Avatar series but I don't know what type of role she will play. All of Tenzin's children resemble Katara and Aang, as well as their mom and dad. With this lesson you will be taught "how to draw Jinora", step by step. She looks like a simple girl with a real friendly face and personality. Unfortunately I can't confirm that she is this way because there is really no information on her at all and I mean nothing. All I can tell you about her is what I just told you, I can say that she is going to be a simple character to recreate and hopefully you will do a great job as you follow this lesson on how to draw Jinora. I promise that there is a point to learning these drawings because when the new Legend of Korra series comes out, you will know how to draw every character from the show in advance. That's about it, make sure you have fun and be sure to comment, rate, and fav any or all the tutorials you love. Peace people!

Britten's five Canticles will be performed together in a new production that opens tonight (Wednesday 10 July), marking 100 years since the composer's birth.
The production, created by director Neil Bartlett and lighting designer Paule Constable, features tenor Ian Bostridge and pianist Julius Drake, both renowned Britten interpreters. Performances will also include a dance element.
Watch Ian and Julius in rehearsal, discussing what makes The Canticles special and the challenges that lie in performing them:
The Canticles, written over a thirty-year period from 1947 and 1974, were created in parallel with some of Britten's most iconic operas, including Billy Budd and Turn of the Screw. Performed together, they present a powerful map of Britten's life and his musical style. Find out more about each of The Canticles.
Britten wrote the pieces for his partner and muse Peter Pears, creating lines specifically for Pear's voice.
Listen to an extract of Canticle I:
'There's a lot of struggle you can hear in the music, but in a way it's looking forward to what their [Britten and Pears's] relationship became later on,' says Ian about Canticle I, 'but at the very end, there is this incredible marriage of minds.'
The production premiered at the Brighton Festival in May earlier this year. Read a review.
You can find out more about Britten's life on BBC Radio 3, where he was featured on Composer of the Week:
Britten's Canticles run in the Linbury Studio Theatre from 10 – 12 July 2013. All dates are sold out, though returns may become available.

Walt Disney Studios announced Tuesday that Indiana Jones will return to the big screen on July 19, 2019.
Steven Spielberg, who directed the four previous films in the franchise, will helm the as-yet-untitled project. Harrison Ford, 73, will reprise the titular role, and Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will return to produce the project. Additional cast members will be announced at a later date.
"Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can't wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019," Alan Horn, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, told E! News in a statement. "It's rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn't be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven."
U.S. & World
The film franchise began in 1981 with the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark." A prequel, "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," was released in 1984, followed by a sequel, "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," in 1989. A fourth film, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," was released in 2008. In total, the movies have generated nearly $2 billion at the global box office.
For years, rumors swirled that Walt Disney Studios was planning to reboot the series with a new lead taking over the role. Bradley Cooper and Robert Pattinson's names were thrown into the mix in 2014, though nothing ever materialized (and Pattinson flat-out denied the casting speculation to E! News). Chris Pratt was rumored to be in contention in 2015, though he seemed wary of taking the reins from Ford. "You have to look at it and be like, 'Is this right for me? Is it right for me to do this? And is it perfect?'" he told Entertainment Weekly. "You don't want to be the guy who f--ks that up."

Funny about that – while I can remember those pigs, and the very first time I dared to touch one, I can't ever remember being afraid or repulsed. I knew, even back then, that the pig would yield all manner of good things. And because it was there, in the house, it seemed normal; just another thing that my parents did, like making bushels of tomatoes into sauce, ravioli by hand, or batch after batch of pannetone, the golden loaves filling the small kitchen table. Didn't every family butcher their own pig?
The ritual was the same. The long trestle table would come out, and the men would gather in the basement, working throughout the day to butcher the pig and divide the spoils. Our wine cellar, dank and dark and smelling of earth, would be the beneficiary of the day's work. Hanging over the demijohns where we were sent to get the evening's bottle of wine were the sausages and the salamis. Into the freezer went the pork chops and ribs. I don't exactly know where we kept the musetto, that peculiarly Italian squat sausage that my mother would cook in hearty minestrone thick with beans, but I do know that I miss the taste of it still.
My father, preparing charcoal for an impromptu barbecue in the park
Of course, I didn't exactly hang around for the butchering part. But the space of years and distance and parents long gone makes me yearn for a time machine, one that could bring me back to that basement, those days, that ritual.
And finally, my first Charcutepalooza post, featuring duck eggs cooked in pancetta cups with mushrooms, parsley and cheese. Never has a dish tasted more satisfying, or connected me more to my heritage. My father would be proud.
For this Charcutepalooza challenge, I chose to make the pancetta. The pork belly, from Cumbrae's, was one gorgeous piece of pig.
Richard was away, so rolling the belly solo was impossible. Here's the belly after curing for seven days, wrapped and hung flat
Beautiful marbling for my first pancetta attempt!
Duck Eggs in Pancetta Cups with Porcini Mushrooms and Cheese
serves two or four
These little eggs cups can either form the main course of breakfast meal or be a mini side dish for a brunch. Serve two per person if they are the main event. They're baked in steps, to allow each element of the dish to cook to perfection.
½ lb piece pancetta (not sliced)
3 oz dried porcini mushrooms
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp chopped parsley, divided
½ tbsp each unsalted butter and olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
4 duck or chicken eggs
2 oz hard goat cheese, cut into thin 2 " strips
1. Preheat oven to 400°F, with the rack in the middle position.
2. Reconstitute the mushrooms in 2 c boiling water for 20 minutes.
3. While the mushrooms are reconstituting, slice the pancetta into 4 ⅛-inch x 4-inch strips. Grease 4 of the cups in a regular muffin tin, and line them with the pancetta, around the sides and the bottom. Set aside. Separate the eggs, being careful not to break the yolks. Set the yolks aside in their shells, and put the egg whites in a pourable measuring cup.
4. When the mushrooms are ready, drain, rinse and chop finely. Heat the butter and oil over medium heat in a small skillet, and when the foam subsides, add the garlic. Sauté, stirring, for a minute and then add the mushrooms and one tbsp of parsley. Continue sautéing, stirring, until the ingredients meld and are fragrant, about two minutes more.
5. Add a generous tablespoon of the porcini mixture to each cup. Divide the egg whites between the cups. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are just set.* Take the tin out of the oven, top each cup with an egg yolk and put back in the oven, baking a further 2 minutes.
*Duck egg whites are particularly unctuous and take longer to cook. If you are using regular eggs, you may want to bake the pancetta cups for five minutes first, and then add the mushrooms and egg whites and shorten the baking time for the egg whites. The important thing is to allow the various layers to cook thoroughly without overcooking the eggs.
7. To serve, scoop the cups out carefully with spoon and place one or two of the cups on a serving plate. Serve with hot buttered toast to dip into the egg yolk, which will be creamy and thick.

LSU's Miles: We won't underestimate Middle Tennessee
Associated Press
BATON ROUGE -- Middle Tennessee coach Rick Stockstill wasn't about to concede a loss to second-ranked LSU before the game had even started.
But he wasn't about to provide the Tigers with bulletin board material.
Asked how Middle Tennessee would contain standout LSU defensive end Glen Dorsey when the two teams meet Saturday night in Tiger Stadium, Stockstill took a more diplomatic line than Virginia Tech offensive lineman Sergio Render did a week ago.
"For one thing, you can't say you are going to pancake him with one player like the player from Virginia Tech said," Stockstill began. Dorsey "is really good and one guy can't stop him. We have to do a good job of keeping him from penetration. I don't think we have one person on our team who can block him in a one-on-one battle."
At this point, it looks like it will take a monumental effort for the Blue Raiders to even stay close to an LSU team that has its sights set on a run for the national championship.
Middle Tennessee's offense put up 42 points at Louisville last week, but now will face a defense that's given up only seven points in two games, and shut out Southeastern Conference foe Mississippi State on the road.
"LSU hasn't given up a lot of points in a long time," Stockstill said. "It will be a bigger challenge for us to score as much as we did against Louisville because I think LSU's defense is a lot better, but that doesn't mean I think we can't have success."
Virginia Tech, which came into Tiger Stadium ranked ninth in the nation, couldn't even manage 150 yards of total offense.
Meanwhile, the Hokies' defense, ranked first in the nation the past two seasons, gave up 598 yards to the Tigers, who have now outscored their first two opponents by a combined 93-7.
Now LSU, which has yet to commit a turnover and has scored all 11 times it has advanced inside an opponent's 20-yard line, goes up against a Blue Raiders defense that allowed 58 points to Louisville.
Once again, LSU coach Les Miles finds himself on a public relations campaign on behalf of his next opponent to get his players and just about everyone else to take an apparent mismatch seriously.
At least this season, Miles can point to a few other upsets to make his case. There was Appalachian State's upset of Miles' alma mater, Michigan. But even closer to home was South Florida's victory at Auburn last weekend.
"If you look at some of the scores in college football, it tells you that you better be ready to play," Miles said. "You need to understand that it doesn't matter what conference your opponent is in or what their record is. If they have talent, they can reach up and play extremely well against you. It doesn't reflect on your tradition or what conference you are in, but how you are prepared. If you look at the Auburn and South Florida score, that is the most recent game I can remember that will get you to understand that Middle Tennessee is a very talented team."
Although it plays in the relatively weak Sun Belt Conference, Middle Tennessee is one of the best teams in that league and played in the Motor City Bowl last year.
Against Louisville, Middle Tennessee's Joe Craddock threw for 290 yards and two touchdowns, and Phillip Tanner added 144 yards rushing and three touchdowns.
The Blue Raiders also showed quick strike ability when Craddock hit DeMarco McNair for a 78-yard score.
Meanwhile, LSU starting quarterback Matt Flynn has been hobbled by an ankle sprain that occurred last Saturday. He's well enough to play, but backup Ryan Perrilloux has been taking most of the snaps with the first team in practice this week.
If Perrilloux starts, that's hardly a break for Middle Tennessee. In LSU's two lopsided victories, Perrilloux, once one of the most highly sought quarterback recruits in the nation, has had ample playing time. He's thrown for three touchdowns and run for another so far.
And LSU has shown it may not even need to throw much anyway.
With Keiland Williams and Jacob Hester leading the way, the Tigers rushed for 297 yards last week against Virginia Tech.

Lyrics:Though time may let us sometimes forget, Until, with but a sigh, The mem'ries of a passionate love Turn ashen cold and die, For me there still can be but you! Come weal or woe, My love is true! Ah! dear one, if you only knew My heart, when you're away! When you're away, dear, how weary the lonesome hours! Sunshine seems gray, dear! The fragrance has left the flow'rs! Ever I hear you, in seeming, Whisp'ring soft love words to me! Ah! If I knew 'twere but dreaming! Ne'er to be! Then when you're near me, There's naught that I strive to do, Save to endear me more fondly, my love, to you! Never again let us part, dear! I die without you, mine own! Hold me again to your heart! I love you alone! Love you mine own! Love you alone!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Thirteen Harvard varsity athletic teams have received Division I Academic Progress Rate Public Recognition Award from the NCAA in an announcement made Wednesday by the association. The NCAA recognized 976 Division I teams in total for their exceptional work in the classroom as part of its Academic Performance Program.
The 13 Harvard teams posted multi-year APR scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports.
Crimson programs to receive Public Recognition Awards are; baseball, women's basketball, women's cross country, field hockey, football, men's golf, women's golf, men's ice hockey, men's swimming and diving, women's soccer, women's indoor track and field, women's outdoor track and field and women's water polo.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes eligibility, retention and graduation in the calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport. High-performing teams receiving awards posted APR scores ranging from 978 to a perfect 1,000.
The Ivy League led the way with the most teams honored, as 117 of the 976 recipients hail from the Ancient Eight. The BIG EAST and Patriot League tied for second with 74 teams recognized followed by the Atlantic-10 (60), the Atlantic Coast Conference (57) and the Big Ten (54).
For the eighth-consecutive year, Ivy schools boasted the top two spots with Dartmouth topping the list for the second year in a row with 25 teams honored. The Big Green has finished in the top three in the number of teams recognized all eight years. Brown placed second for a second-straight year as well, equalling its previous year's total with 20. The remaining top 10 featured three Ivies -- Yale tied for seventh (14) and Havard and Penn tied for 10th (13 each).
This year, the Ancient Eight was the only conference to have commendations for all (eight) of its football and baseball teams. In addition, six League schools were recognized in women's basketball, men's golf, women's golf and softball.
Ivy teams comprised 12.0 percent (117 of 976) of the total Division I teams honored. Of the 62 schools that have received Public Recognition Awards each of the eight years of the program, the Ivy League is the only Division I conference to have every school in its conference recognized

Jane was fantastic! She took such wonderful care of my son Luca at our hotel while we attended a wedding in the area. She instantly bonded with him which made us feel completely at ease leaving him for such a long period. She made note of all the wonderful things they did together which was great to read through as I could picture their day. She also brought extra toys and books and did a colour/sticker picture together with him both for mummy and daddy. It was so lovely to come home to :-) I would definitely recommend Jane. It was reassuring knowing Luca was in such good hands.
Liz was just wonderful! She looked after my 2 daughters and niece at our hotel whilst we attended a wedding. The girls took to Liz instantly and all of us adults felt so comfortable leaving them with her so we could enjoy the evening. When we popped up to see if things were ok (which we definitely didn't need to do), Liz was relaxed and happily getting our little madams off to sleep. If you need someone who puts you and your kids at ease straight away, and cracks on in a relaxed and warm way, Liz is your lady! Now if only we can convince her to move closer to where we live ;).
Having never used sitters before, I was quite apprehensive about using a babysitter I had never met to look after my almost three year old little boy. However, on arrival I immediately trusted Helen and I felt totally comfortable leaving her in charge. I felt reassured by the fact that she has children of her own and a great deal of experience with children of all ages. We will definitely be booking her again. My son was actually in bed and asleep when Helen arrived but I am sure he would be very happy to be looked after by her if he was awake! Mrs Davies, Wandsworth.

10 Layer Sweet Potato and Zucchini Lasagne
This is a simple, filling, meat-and-pasta-free version of my favourite of favourite Italian dishes. Lasagne. And why on earth would anyone ever choose not to use pasta? Lotsa reasons. Maybe even 'cos you forgot to buy lasagne sheets, flour and polenta.
It's possible.
Heh heh. Even my resident noodle-lovers didn't catch me on this one ...
The time
15-20 min prep + 45 min - 1 hr baking
The sauce
1 can (400mL) organic diced tomatoes
1 tub (140mL) organic tomato paste
2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
The layers
1 extra-large orange sweet potato or a couple of smaller ones, thinly sliced
450g quark, ricotta, or strained cottage cheese
2 small zucchinis, thinly sliced
4-6 handfuls of mixed shredded cheeses (including parmesan, cheddar, mozzarella, whatever you have on hand)
*Try to use organic ingredients when you can!
The process
1. Preheat the oven to 180C (360F). Pull out a laptop-sized rectangular baking dish. Mix together all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl, and set to the side. Get ready to build.
Layer 1: Spread 200mL (~3/4 cup) of sauce across the bottom of the dish.
Layer 2 & 3: Place slices of sweet potato over the sauce, one at a time, so there's no sauce visible below. Repeat so you have two layers of sweet potatoes.
Layer 4: Drizzle over 100mL (~1/3 cup) sauce. Don't worry about uniformity.
Layer 5: Spread the quark or ricotta or strained cottage cheese over.
Layer 6: Add 1 layer of zucchini slices
Layer 7: Then 100mL sauce
Layer 8: Finally, 1 more layer of sweet potato slices
Layer 9: The rest of the sauce
Layer 10: And cheese.
2. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, reduce the heat to 140C (300F) and continue baking for another 15-30 minutes. How long you bake for will depend a lot on the thickness of your slices and the size of your dish, so keep checking. The lasagne is done when the cheese is crispy and browned, and there are bubbles of sauce up the sides, and the veggies are well-cooked inside. (Use a knife to check)
3. When it's done, leave out of the oven for a few minutes before slicing and serving with a green salad and a glass of wine.
The cost
I got my veggies at the market (zucchini's everywhere at the moment) and my quark marked-down at the natural foods store, so this organic lasagne cost me only $10 to make! It just goes to show you can make amazing food for hardly anything at all. In fact, you could sub out the zucchini for another veggie in-season if you like, to maximise freshness and minimise cost.
And hey, out there, I'd love to hear from you. Here in the comments, or over on Twitter or Facebook - so please don't be shy about saying hello!
Have a lovely weekend,
Amanda xx

All I can say is YUM!!! Okay, I can say more than that, so simple and sounds oh so tasty! I have a sweet potato but might just have to go out and buy myself some zucchini so I can make this recipe for my vegetarian dish this week (when husband is at tennis I usually have eggs with little Miss 3.5).
Thank you for inspiring my home made journey too by the way ;)

Love this! I have the first of my zucch's starting to come up now so I'll definitely give this a go.
I'm really digging sweet potato and black beans at the moment, they just work together. I wonder how this would go with the addition of some black beans?

text: I saw the 6 nations thread & figured one good ole Rugby thread should take us to the next RWC (use ur Buzzlight Year voice) and Beyond! I used to play (wasn't a very good prop) for NYAC. I've been to RWC in '07 (saw a very good quarters match between Eng & Oz - George Gregan's last international) 6 Nations in '02 - Jonny Wilkinson's masterpiece against Ireland. And '04 Irelands revenge And looking forward to 2013 6 Nations (watching the better matches in NYC pubs) And next trip to England for RWC in '15. My buddy lives outside of London, so he better get some tix for the class. Happy New Year to all Lastly, my mate was at Twickenham for England v. NZ match and the Brits singing Sweet Chariot during the Haka is disrespectful. My buddy was shocked by the behavior. But I think the Brits aren't the first ones to act this way, if I recall the French started this some years back. Either way in poor taste.

His wife was kind enough to bring me the copy he snagged for me and she brought a bottle of his latest homebrew.
Tonight, I cracked his beer open and here is the review:
Style: Not really sure let's just call it a homebrew
1. Appearance - Cloudy, murky reddish brown, clearly unfiltered. A short yet persistent head providing a fair amount of lacing.
2. Smell - Sweet malty smell with a with a underling scent of alcohol. (A note on smell - I have a very limited sense of smell, that comes and goes, so my opinions on beer smells should be taken with a grain of salt... That being said, my nose must have been working that day!)
3. Taste - Strong sugary sweet roasted malt taste coupled something that reminds me of a mix of beats and raisins. Reminds me of a stronger version of my Frankenbrew. A twangy bitter-sweet end with a fairly strong alcohol flavor.
4. Mouthfeel - Surprisingly light bodied, lacks carbonation, but that may not have been true for the entire batch.
5. Drinkability -The brew shows this young brewer's potential. He didn't take the easy way out and make a batch from a "Betty Crocker" recipe in a box. He took a chance and made a beer, one that wont win any prices, but at the end of the day is a flovorful brew
