Although solo masturbation among women is, by definition, a largely private activity, it is a sexual behavior gynecologists need to be educated about, given the potential clinical benefits and, rarely, risks of masturbation.
Though female masturbation has long been shrouded in taboo and, for some women, shame or embarrassment, solo masturbation is one of the most common sexual behaviors engaged in by women across the life span.1-4 A form of autoeroticism, masturbation is generally defined as stimulating one's body for the purposes of sexual pleasure, whether or not orgasm is experienced. During adolescence and again in advanced age, more women engage in masturbation compared with vaginal intercourse, which is the most common female sexual behavior during the reproductive years.2-4
back to top
Masturbation is highly prevalent among women and may be used for any number of reasons, including those related to pleasure, orgasm, relaxation, or release of sexual tension, or to fall asleep.1,2,5 Similarly, women may begin using a vibrator (a common part of masturbation for many) for such reasons, in addition to those related to fun, curiosity, partner suggestion, and novelty.6 Women may masturbate whether they are single or in a relationship,5,7 and though some may masturbate while watching sexually explicit images (such as pornography), this is less common compared to the masturbatory experiences of men.8 More often, women may fantasize or focus on physical sensations they are experiencing while self-pleasuring.9
Although masturbation can be experienced by anyone, there is a higher prevalence among women with higher education, those with higher socioeconomic status, those who engage in more frequent vaginal sex, and those who report a more varied sexual repertoire.6 Having a more positive female genital self-image (eg, feeling more positive about one's own genitals) has also been linked to female masturbation and vibrator use (as well as having had a gynecologic exam in the previous year and having performed vulvar self-examination in the past month).10
In most cases, solo female masturbation is a safe activity that is without serious clinical risks or consequences.11 In fact, some women may choose to engage in masturbation because it is considered a safe sexual activity that does not carry risk of pregnancy or infection.7
Women may masturbate or self-pleasure using any number of methods or objects. Although many women use their hands to masturbate, a recent nationally representative probability survey of US women ages 18 to 60 found that 46.3% of respondents had used a vibrator during masturbation (and more than half had used a vibrator for either solo or partnered sex).6 While the vast majority of women who had used a vibrator reported having never experienced side effects from its use, more than a quarter had experienced side effects such as genital numbness, irritation, or cuts or tears, most of which were mild and transient. The proportion of side effects that occurred during solo versus partnered stimulation is not known. Indeed, more research is needed to identify characteristics of vibrators themselves or vibrator use (such as duration of use or intensity of vibration) that may influence the risk of such side effects.
Because of the risk of side effects from vibrator use or other types of masturbation (or partnered sexual activity), gynecologists should ask their patients about their masturbation and partnered sexual activities in cases where genital redness, itching, or inflammation is noted. Some women may be particularly prone to masturbation-induced genital irritation or tears as a result of a hypoestrogenic state (eg, menopause or breastfeeding) or a condition such as genital lichen sclerosus, which can cause the genital skin to be vulnerable to cuts or tears following solo or partnered sexual activity. As such, women who pre-sent with genital irritation or tears may be best served by seeing a clinician who asks them questions about how the symptoms came about, whether they experience such symptoms commonly from masturbation or partnered sex, and what duration or intensity of masturbation or partnered sex led to such symptoms.
The proportion of genital side effects that arise from normal use of vibrators or other sexual enhancement products versus those that result from misuse is not known. However, some women may misuse vibrators during solo masturbation or partnered sex, such as by inserting a vibrator into the rectum (which in some cases has led to a vibrator that was irretrievable by the woman herself and required removal by a physician) or leaving a vibrator inside the vagina for a long duration, resulting in a rectovaginal fistula.12,13
In addition to vibrators, women may use a variety of other objects for masturbation, including nonvibrating dildos, household objects (eg, candles) or produce (eg, cucumbers or bananas) inserted vaginally or anally and, in rare instances, resulting in clinical complications.12,14,15 It has been reported that some female children and adolescents have presented with lower abdominal pain, and upon examination, it was found that they had inserted batteries into their vagina and left them inside for a period of days, resulting in deep vaginal wall ulcerations.16,17 It is not known whether the batteries were inserted as part of masturbation.
Historically, it is claimed that the electric vibrator was originally used as part of clinical treatment for hysteria.20 Over the past several decades, masturbation (with or without a vibrator) has been recommended by counselors, therapists, and health care professionals for the treatment of primary anorgasmia.21,22 In several research studies, directed masturbation—often in conjunction with meeting with a sex therapist—has been found to be a helpful strategy for women as they learn to orgasm.22,23
Along with taking a complete medical history, gynecologists who counsel women about learning to orgasm may find it helpful to ask patients whether they have tried masturbating or self-pleasuring their body alone or using a vibrator, which can speed the time to orgasm. Gynecologists may also find it helpful to use diagrams or models to educate women about the female body; many women have not been educated about the existence, location, or full size of the clitoris (such as the internal crura) or the fact that without direct stimulation of the clitoris, many women find it difficult, if not impossible, to achieve orgasm during intercourse.
Because it often takes more time to provide women with information about orgasm than clinicians have available, patients may benefit by reading a book about orgasm. Several books are available, among them Becoming Orgasmic: A Sexual and Personal Growth Program for Women, which details solo and partnered exercises for women who wish to learn to orgasm, and Because It Feels Good: A Woman's Guide to Sexual Pleasure and Satisfaction, which provides detailed information about the clitoris and vulva as well as solo and partnered exercises related to enhancing arousal and orgasm.24,25 Women may also be directed toward resources for identifying a professional sex therapist in their area; these resources include the websites of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists (www.aasect.org) and the Society for Sex Therapy and Research (www.sstarnet.org).
Vibrator use has been associated with more positive sexual function as measured by the Female Sexual Function Index, which provides scores on subscales related to desire, arousal, orgasm, lubrication, satisfaction, and pain during sex, as well as a total score of sexual function.6,7 The direction of the relationship between vibrator use and sexual function is not known, although clinically, vibrators have long been recommended for the enhancement of orgasm, arousal (and consequently lubrication), and desire. More recently, vulvar vibration therapy has been examined as adjunct treatment for vulvar pain.26
Further, the use of nonvibrating vaginal dilators is often recommended for maintaining vaginal patency following radiation treatment for gynecologic cancers.27 However, the use of vaginal dilators is not necessarily to be considered "masturbation" (in fact, some patients may resist dilator treatment if they perceive that it is equivalent to masturbation, with which they may associate shame or embarrassment). Regarding dilator use, women may choose to partially insert a lubricated dilator into the vagina and leave it inside for an amount of time specified by their clinician, or they may choose to use it as part of masturbation or partnered sex play.
Little is known about sexual behavior, including solo masturbation, during pregnancy. Many women continue to be sexually active throughout pregnancy. However, as a woman's body changes, certain partnered sexual positions may become physically uncomfortable. Or she may worry that her partner does not find her pregnant body attractive, which may result in a greater frequency of solo masturbation in order to meet her needs.
Research about the methods women use to self-pleasure themselves during pregnancy is needed. Some women have commented that they began using a vibrator while pregnant because they felt that their male partner no longer desired them. It is not known to what extent vibrator use is safe during pregnancy. More research is needed to understand how many pregnant women use vibrators in each trimester, how pregnant women use vibrators (eg, intravaginally, on the vulva, or anally), to what extent women receive counseling from their ObGyns about masturbation or vibrator use, and pregnancy outcomes of these women.
In addition to asking pregnant patients about their partnered sexual activity and risk for sexually transmitted infections, ObGyns would be wise to ask pregnant patients about their solo masturbation, including vibrator use (eg, type of vibrator used, duration of vibrator use, intensity of vibration, and location of stimulation).
Although masturbation is common among women, many may have had little experience talking about it with friends or a sexual partner, let alone with their gynecologist. However, there are health-promoting reasons that gynecologists may want to ask patients about their solo masturbation practices (in addition to their partnered sex). Such conversations may help gynecologists identify vaginal or rectal foreign bodies among women who describe other symptoms (such as abdominal pain). They may also help gynecologists to better advise women on sexual practices during pregnancy or in the context of having certain genital conditions that predispose to vulvar atrophy, pain, or tearing.
Since many women have been made to feel shame or embarrassment about masturbation, these conversations may be difficult to begin, but they have the potential for clinical benefit. Questions about masturbation can be asked as part of a larger sexual history taking. It can be helpful to use words that reassure patients that masturbation is common and normative (eg, "Many women have questions about the safety of sex with their partner, as well as masturbation, throughout their pregnancy.") By asking about or discussing masturbation using clinical terms, and providing reassurance that it is common and part of a healthy sexual life, women may feel more comfortable asking their gynecologist questions that have important clinical implications.

A Phoenix real estate agent is in jail after police said she tried to pawn rings taken from a home she had shown to potential buyers.
The victim told police that jewelry valued at $15,000 was missing from her house after it was shown to the buyers.
Angela Ortiz, 32, had shown the house near 40th Street and Union Hills Drive on June 24 and was interviewed by Phoenix police two days later, said Phoenix police Sgt. Steve Martos.
Ortiz told police she was not aware the jewelry had been taken and denied any involvement.
But on July 18, Ortiz walked into a pawn shop near Shea Boulevard and Scottsdale Road and tried to trade a Chanel ring and two other rings for a diamond ring, Martos said.
A serial number on the Chanel ring matched that of one of the 44-year-old victim's rings, Martos said.
Police identified Ortiz as the real estate agent at the house in June and also uncovered a lengthy pawn record, indicating potential for other victims, Martos said.
Police on Wednesday tracked down Ortiz in Maricopa and she tried to run from officers before she was taken into custody, Martos said.
Ortiz gave officers a fake name, but they found her valid Arizona driver's license and confirmed her identity.
Ortiz was booked into jail for theft, trafficking in stolen property and refusing to provide her true name to officers, Martos said.
Detectives said anyone believed to be a victim of this suspect should contact Phoenix police.

Are Farmland Prices Entering Another Bubble Similar to 40 Years Ago
The American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research released a new report that shows the current U.S. farmland market is showing patterns similar to the market bubble of the 1970s. Resident Fellow at the Institute Alex Pollock says prices peaked in 1982 before real prices fell back to their level of 15 years earlier while defaults and insolvencies escalated. Pollock says trends from the past 20 years suggests another such bubble may be where prices are now. He says real farmland prices have been climbing over the last 17-years and are now higher than at the peak of the previous bubble. Analysts and experts are reluctant to declare this a bubble - but it's also plausible to imagine prices dropping again. The Federal Reserve's record low interest rates specifically have contributed to inflation in farmland market prices - according to Pollock - who believes when interest rates begin to rise - farmland prices may drop.

Even with the re-signing of Dwan Edwards, the Panthers under-tackle depth is precarious. Behind Edwards, Nate Chandler is the only backup. Not that Chandler is a horrible option, but the Panthers could stand to add some depth, in addition to finding a longterm answer at under tackle.
Per most draft analysts, Missouri product Sheldon Richardson (6'4" 294 lbs.) would be a perfect marriage of 'best player available' and 'drafting for need' for Carolina. Not unlike a few of the other defensive tackle prospects, Richardson is very athletic for an interior lineman, capable of playing both against both guards and tackles, and can be frequently found chasing wide receivers and running backs down on screen passes.
Richardson's versatility is intriguing, and in tangent with his superb measurables, should ensure that he is drafted highly in April. Even under the premise of athleticism and explosion, would Richardson be a good fit for the Panthers in the first round?
Channeling my inner-Batman: To the tape!
As a prospect, Richardson is fairly raw. His biggest problem, as with Sharrif Floyd and Sylvester Williams, is his pad level which, unlike the aforementioned tackles, I'm not sure will be as easy to correct. Secondly, Richardson is fairly unskilled as a handfighter, which, when combined with poor pad level, leads to disastrous results.
On this running play versus Kentucky, Richardson (distinguished by the red triangle) is aligned as the three-technique. At this point, Richardson's pads are roughly equal with the Kentucky RG's, however, note that the RG already has his arms extending into Richardson's torso.
The RG places his hands in between Richardson's shoulder pads, and drives him backwards, jolting Richardson.
Within one second, Richardson is under the control of the Kentucky RG. Richardson attempts to disengage himself by turning free, however, the RG's hand placement disallows this escape route.
Completely at the mercy of the RG, Richardson is driven backwards, as the Kentucky RB breaches his gap.
A denouement to his ignominy, Richardson is brought to the ground by the Kentucky RG as the RB follows the block. And we're not talking about Chance Warmack, or another high-profile lineman; Richardson was driven 10 yards backwards from the line of scrimmage (LOS) and thrown to the turf.
The results are not always so pathetic, however, Richardson does have a tendency to end up on the ground. Had Richardson struck first with his hands, and achieved optimal hand placement, he would have been able to shed the block, and had he used proper pad level, the RG would not have been able to drive him backwards. Even had both of those mistakes still occurred, Richardson could have disengaged from the blocker had he clubbed the RG's arm/s, or used any number of countermeasures to free himself from the RG's grip.
In this example versus Alabama, Richardson will be facing off against LT Cyrus Kouandjio.
In a stunt, Richardson, here the 1-technique, will move over to the B-gap, directly in the way of RB TJ Yeldon's trajectory. Kouandjio's job will be to crash down on Richardson and secure the B-gap for Yeldon.
At the snap Richardson moves to plug his gap, however Kouandjio meets him there first, and similarly strikes first with his hands.
Kouandjio keeps Richardson at distance, and holds the block.
As Yeldon approaches, Kouandjio walls Richardson off, securing the hole for the Alabama RB. Richardson is unable to shed the block.
By the time Richardson breaks free from Kouandjio, Yeldon is already three yards downfield.
This play occurs in Missouri's game versus Florida.
A testament to his versatility, every now and again the Tigers had Richardson rushing from a two point stance, as is the case in this double A-gap blitz.
Richardson engages the center and the left guard with poor pad level, and seemingly attempts to execute a swim move. As on this play, Richardson has a propensity to bend too much in his waist, and not enough in his knees at times.
Richardson attempts to extricate himself from the LG and collapse the pocket, however, without leverage, he is unable.
Richardson is stonewalled; with no leverage he can't generate any pressure.
Here is another example of poor leverage from Missouri's game versus Florida.
Richardson is aligned as the 3-technique; on this pass play he will rush towards the edge.
Richardson has a decent first step, however right from the get-go, he comes out of his stance too high in his pad level, and with very little bend in his knees. Though Richardson does a good job of immediately extending his arm for a punch.
Engaged with the Florida LG, Richardson loses the leverage battle.
Pushing outside, the LG opens his face, as if to run Richardson by the pocket, Richardson loses his balance and falls to the ground.
Although rare, when Richardson utilizes good hand placement and decent pad level, he is able to be a factor in run defense.
Here Richardson is operating as the 1-technique versus the Gator center.
Richardson has a fine first step and does a good job of initiating hand combat with the blocker, achieving optimal hand position.
With an eye in the backfield, Richardson notes the handoff, and sheds the blocker.
He doesn't take a great angle to the ball carrier, but Richardson exhibits his agility in chasing down the ballcarrier and helps to make the TFL.
Despite his impressive speed and agility, I don't think Richardson is the elite penetrator that some paint him as. He's quick on his feet, but he doesn't have a great first step. Rarely will you see him beat his man off of the snap and break free into the backfield as in this example versus Alabama.
Here as the 1-technique, Richardson is lined up against C Barrett Jones.
Probably anticipating the snap count, Richardson has a explodes off of the snap.
Richardson dispatches the blocker with a swim move and proceeds into the backfield unabated.
Richardson takes away a possible angle of escape for Alabama RB Eddie Lacy, and is able to help gang tackle Lacy after a short gain (major props to Lacy for breaking a couple of tackles and gaining a yard on what looked to be a disaster).
Many of Richardson's high profile TFL's/Sacks came against blown protection schemes and/or inadequate offensive linemen, such as his sack of Alabama QB AJ McCarron, and big TFL of Florida RB Mike Gillislee.
Richardson's aggressive play and nonstop motor are well documented as well, however they also have the potential to hurt him against savvy blockers, or deceptive blocking schemes.
Deep in Tiger territory, Missouri has held South Carolina to a critical 4th down and 1. Here Richardson is aligned as the 1-technique. On this play South Carolina is going to shift their blocking scheme to the left, while having RB Marcus Lattimore run to the right, hopefully attracting the Missouri front seven away from Lattimore.
At the snap Richardson shoots to his right, eager to disrupt the play, following the flow of the Gamecock blockers.
As Lattimore reaches the LOS, Richardson and some of the other DL/LB's realize their blunder.
Richardson attempts to break free from his blocker and give chase, however Lattimore is already in the secondary.
Fairly raw in pass rushing moves, Richardson's favorite, again like Floyd and Williams, is the swim move, though like Williams he tends to rely on it too often.
In this contest versus Georgia, Richardson is again rushing from a two point stance from the A-gap.
Richardson has a fine first step, although his pad level is not great; had the center gotten his hands in position, he could have delivered a punch to disorient Richardson. Richardson begins the move by swinging his right arm over the back of the Georgia center.
Richardson dispatches the center and moves into the backfield.
Richardson doesn't take a great angle to the ballcarrier and is forced to make an unsuccessful diving attempt at a tackle.
Richardson is largely unrefined in his other pass rushing moves. Back to the Alabama game, here Richardson attempts a spin move.
Richardson is operating as the 1-technique.
Ignoring Gary Danielson's drawing, Richardson begins his rush with fine pad level, except once again he has too much bend in his waist, and not enough in his knees.
Engaged with RG Alex Steen, Richardson begins his spin move. One of the hazards of a spin move, Richardson leaves his back vulnerable to a strike from Steen, which is exactly what occurs.
Richardson is slowed down enough that LG Chance Warmack slides over and, together with Steen, smothers Richardson.
Like his spin move, Richardson also possesses an unrefined rip move.
On this play from Missouri's game versus Tennessee Richardson assumes the role of the 1-technique.
Richardson begins his rush with decent pad level, once again the concoction of too much bend in his waist, and not enough in his knees. Tennessee pulls the LG, leaving center alone with Richardson. With the LG still in the area, the C does not have enough real estate to slide to mirror Richardson.
With the edge in hand, Richardson executes a rip move.
Richardson finishes the move and breaks aways from the center, although not before Tennessee QB Tyler Bray gets off the pass.
As I said above, Richardson is a fairly raw defensive tackle. He needs to correct his pad level, which I suspect could be a tougher fix than for Sharrif Floyd and Sylvester Williams. I wouldn't categorize Richardson as a 'waist bender', but he definitely exhibits such characteristics. On a similar tangent, Richardson needs training on hand placement and hand combat. Richardson also needs to polish and diversify his pass rushing moves, which should come with seasoning.
At times Richardson is an absolute liability in run support. Aside from the technical aspects of the position, I'm not sure whether or not Richardson possesses the base to be a three down lineman in the NFL; whether or not he can be an anchor against the run on short yardage situations, of which he was atrocious in college, or can be counted on consistently in run support on first down.
With his versatility and athleticism, Richardson could fit in a number of defenses. A creative defensive coordinator would fall in love with Richardson, and with some development, he could wreak havoc in a multiple front defense. But I don't think he's the elite penetrator that Sylvester Williams is, or the mauler Sharrif Floyd is. And for those reasons, as well as those mentioned above, I think the Panthers would be well served to look elsewhere in the first round. I do think Richardson is worthy of a first round pick, but the questions about his development would scare me away in the top half of the first round.

Diner Reviews
My wife and I live in Durham. We
were very knowledgeable about the restaurant from UNC TV show and many other articles that have been written about it. We finally got reservations and made an overnight trip to Kinston. We had great fun. Kinston was really fun with the Brewery, old southern downtown that reminded me of the small NC community I was raised in. We cannot wait to get back and enjoy the area and the Neuse River some more. The restaurant was fabulous. Great food and superb service."

We live in Chapel Hill, but will
always make a point of stopping here on the way home from the beach - even if we can only get a reservation at 9 PM! It is definitely a first-class restaurant. We've loved everything on the menu every time we come."

Celebrated our anniversary; great
food and excellent service! Highly recommend for special occasions!"
Dined on 8/28/2014
As usual, service is excellent and
the food is mostly delicious. Their fish tartare used to be fantastic but is now so-so with stale sweet potato chips. Since the restaurant has gained acclaim, their small plate and shared plate portions have gotten much smaller, all the while prices have increased quite a bit on all food/beverages. Noise level made it hard to hear fellow diners at the same table. The noise level was discordant, jarring, detracted from the experience."
Dined on 8/28/2014
There were 4 of us who were there
on a Thursday night - it seemed really busy but the staff said it was actually a slow night. The noise level is an issue- hard to hear the person across from you with all of the noise from the other tables. The table lights are pretty but whew- I did not like the aroma from them. Staff was hugely helpful in guiding us through the menu. We had to have the fried collards and would get again - loved the tomato pie and the veggies. Serving for shrimp/grits was a bit shy - we would recommend sharing for 2 not 4 for most items. It was a fun night - we would definitely go again."

Excellent Food and Excellent
Service, worth the hour drive from Clinton. Second time dining at Chef and Farmer and hope to return soon."

I decided to drop by on my way
from the beach. What a great place! Amazing in the middle of small town of kinston. Probably this restaurant is the engine of kinston revival. It was that good! Grits variety was very interesting idea and rice crusted cat fish is just incredible. Cat fish must be very happy to have this wonderful face lift. Great recipe !"

Our party of four had an enjoyable
evening, but the food was a disappointment. As a first course, I ordered Jedd's Lettuce & Figs, with goat cheese, spiced pecans, country ham, fig/lemon vinaigrette. I had pictured a deconstructed assemblage, highlighting each of the ingredients. Instead, I got a finely-chopped mess all tossed together in which none of the ingredients stood out, drowned in dressing. Soggy and awful. The choices for the main course were uninspiring (in itself a demerit), so I chose a standard: shrimp and grits. It was tasty but nothing I couldn't have made for myself. My dessert (again, from a poor selection) was the Tres Leches cake. It was a waste of calories, uninteresting and too big. Our servers were great, however."

I drove with a friend from Raleigh
for a culinary adventure to the Chef and the Farmer. Would definitely plan to stop here for dinner on the way to (or back from) the beach, but would not make a special trip again as there are many equally good places to eat in the triangle. That said, I look forward to the next time I am out that way to see what this creative chef is cooking up."

An absolute fantastic experience.
Food, service, and drinks were delicious. We celebrated our anniversary and drove in from Raleigh... well worth the drive."

We decided to visit Chef & the
Farmer after discovering A Chef's Life in February. We've been driving from Ohio to Ocracoke for vacation for many years, and changed up our route to add a visit to Chef & the Farmer, and we are so glad we did! The food was terrific, and the staff and atmosphere were welcoming. The fried collards and fried okra with ranch ice cream were real standouts! We look forward to a return trip."
Dined on 8/23/2014
I'm willing to drive 200 miles
round trip for a good meal so imagine my disappointment when the one I experienced was partially inedible. Fried green tomatoes were cut in wedges creating a mouthful of hot sourness. Pork belly skewers had bland peach preserves dumped over them. The ham wrapped peaches and figs were sent back because they'd been carbonized to something approximating charcoal. The vegetables accompanying the tomato pie were also burned and inedible. The tuna tartare was a saving grace along with the service, which was appropriately attentive especially on a busy Saturday. I hope chef was not in the kitchen last night because no farmer would want the fruits of their labors so poorly executed."
Dined on 8/23/2014
We love Chef and the Farmer for
all our special occasions and once again had a lovely time. 2 things disappointed a bit-main course service was slow and waitress apologized saying it had something to do with cooking the chicken. Unfortunately one entire end of my chicken was very undercooked when it arrived. Never have had anything but perfectly cooked meals before. Also missed the bread with the meal and I didn't realize until too late that it could be purchased. Tres leches cake was wonderful as we're the fried collards."
Dined on 8/23/2014
My wife (and I) had been watching
on PBS, and I'd known about it for several years. Arrived a few minutes early, was seated promptly, and had attentive, knowledgeable wait staff. They were there at appropriate times, but didn't 'hover' - Everything we ordered was well prepared, seasoned and delicious - pork belly, fried green tomatoes, wife had kicked up grits, I had brown sugar crusted tuna, and a desert trio - fig cobbler, tres leches cake, and a rich sweet nutty chocolate cake with chipotle ice great. Everything was excellent and we'll be back soon!"
Dined on 8/23/2014
A 5 star restaurant in a tiny
farm town. Their story almost steals the show but the food is astonishing as is the atomsphere and the staff. Sophisticated touches everywhere. In NC, we love our pork and both the pork belly app and pork chop were treated like royalty. Pork chop was enormous and perfectly cooked. The lowly Catfish was taken to new heights and so was the Tuna. Desserts were imaginative and delicious. Portions are filling which only disappoints because it limits the number of intriquing small plates you can try. Next time we'll do all small plates. We live about 1.5 hours away but would drive it again in a heartbeat. Go!"
Dined on 8/23/2014
From the moment we stepped in Chef
& Farmer until the moment we paid, everything was near perfect. Upon entering the restaurant, we enjoyed the warm, cozy atmosphere and were quickly greeted by the host and then our wait staff. The menu is simple but diverse. We traveled from Raleigh down to Kinston for a day trip (1.5 hours) and we were far from disappointed. Who would have ever thought that a tomato pie as simple as it is could taste as well as it came from a Michelin restaurant. For a day trip I would suggest getting to Kinston around 2:30, head over to Mother Earth Brewery for a flight, then over to the Boiler Room for a cocktail and light appetizer then over to Chef & The Farmer for an amazing experience."

Great food,great atmosphere . Some
of the food items is a little pricey for the small portion, but overall would come back and try other items on the menu."

Some of the best food I've ever
had but would not go back because it was so annoyingly loud. Could not have a conversation with my family."

As usual, our dining experience
was wonderful and full of wonderful favors. We always order the Pork Bellies and thoroughly love them no matter what glaze is on them. I even shared them one with a table next to us and they said they would order them next time. We love the open kitchen and always come early and sit either at the kitchen bar or the table with the window to the kitchen. The waitress talked us into buying a of wine that was a perfect choice. No dessert this time and we wished we hadn't been so full!! This is our sixth visit and we drive from Oriental so we wish we could come more often but we always come early and shop at the local shops and always buy some things. See y'all soon, love this place!!"

We loved it all. See other fawning
reviews. Don't see how they can make it long-term in this declining town far from anywhere, but best of luck to them."
Dined on 8/20/2014
we were seated right away even
though we were about 10 minutes early for our reservation. the waitress was very friendly and pleasant but not particularly knowledgeable about bar beverages. The breads and small plate we started with exceeded my expectations.the sage brined pork chop was lovely though at 16 ounces was a bit large even for a large plate.the chicken and basil sausage was delicious but was served at room temperature -I think it must have been sitting out for quite a while.the marinated cucumberswere too acidic. Rum craft cocktail and martini were superb."
Dined on 8/20/2014
We've followed this restaurant on
it's show on PBS. Thought, why not? 4 1/2 hours later, and YUM! We DID reserve a table through OpenTable--the only way to go! This place was PACKED with a one hour wait at 6pm on a Tuesday night. It is not a fluke! Seven years open. THE best food--creative, inventive, TASTY morsels of yumminess. Great service. The only bad thing? Deciding on what to have. We over ordered, but we just HAD to try lots of the dishes. Share the food and enjoy the experience. This is a GEM, hidden in Kinston, NC. Go east, young man!"
Dined on 8/19/2014
We had flash fried collards, fried
green tomatoes, pork shoulder lasagna, fish and crab, hot sweet and spicy chocolate cake and pear ice cream. All of it was very impressive. The Wit-based cocktail was a treat. The Mahi Thai cocktail was extremely sweet and alcoholic without being very flavorful. Overall we had an amazing experience. Thank you."
Dined on 8/19/2014
We had a wonderful meal. Great
service from Mary Linton. We drove 2 1/2 hrs to get there. Made a road trip out of it. With so many great restaurants much closer, not sure how often I would make the trip. Definitely, great to see it busy and helping turn Kinston into more of a destination."
Dined on 8/19/2014
A special thanks to the awesome
crew/team at Chef and the Farmer for making our anniversary dinner one to remember. Beth (floor manager), Brian (wine expert), and Mary Linton (server) gave us that special, personal touch which was most appreciative! The fried green tomato w/blueberries (appetizer) is highly recommended. Another fantastic night in downtown Kinston!"

Excellent North Carolina based
food - pork, peaches, figs, corn, fish."

My wife and I recently had the
opportunity to dine at the Chef and The Farmer. From the appetizers to dessert, everything and everyone exceeded our expectations. Can't wait to done here again."
Dined on 8/16/2014
Unique blend of flavors! Very
interesting place for a small town in Eastern NC."
Dined on 8/16/2014
The staff is very friendly and
helpful with the menu. I was a little disappointed in my fried catfish/blue crab but understand its a southern place and the food is very tailored toward southern cuisine. My wife's chicken and sausage dish was excellent. The wine selection is above and beyond most restaurants. Great place, always an enjoyable experience."
Dined on 8/15/2014
Loved the yellowfin, my wife loves
the blueberry glazed BBQ chicken. Dessert was decadent. We live in Greenville, and are happy this place is in the eastern part of the state. A great improvement would be to move to Greenville. The acoustics aren't great, unfortunately. I think people at a table for 6 or more would have to be happy talking to the people right next to them. Service was somewhat slow -- but the staff is very nice and welcoming. A gluten free menu is available, which excludes the dishes that include wheat products. Many of the dishes fit the category, so the selection is good."
Dined on 8/15/2014
Our appetizer figs, peaches and
country ham was a wonderful blend of flavors, textures and tastes. We had the tuna and the pork chop which we enjoyed enjoyed as well. The service was prompt and very well trained. We drove from Raleigh and would encourage others to consider the trip."
Dined on 8/15/2014
We made a special 3 hour trip to
Chef and the Farmer for my wife's birthday. We were not disappointed. Food was as good as anywhere we've eaten yet right at home in eastern North Carolina. Tomato Pie was a delight. Everything was perfectly seasona, fresh and inventive. Service was good."
Dined on 8/14/2014
Once again had an great dining
experience at C&F. The quality and freshness of the food was the highlight. For appetizer we got the squash pizza and even though it wasn't as tasty as hoped for the quality of ingredients and the cooks preparation made it appetizing. I wouldn't recommend the squash pizza unless you want something different or just love squash. I would recommend the other pizza as we had it before and it is more tasty to us at least. My wife got the New York Strip and it was very good and cooked perfectly but wasn't as flavorful as we like. I got the Pork Lasagna and it was cooked great and as it should be but not as good as beef lasagna."
Dined on 8/14/2014
Menu reflected seasonal foods. We
expect food to be creative and more complex than what we produce at home - all dishes certainly met that criteria. Fried collards interesting; Sungold Tomato & Peach Gazpacho, fresh corn, crispy butter beans was 'bright' with complex flavors; tomatoes were stars of the heritage tomato brioche; Pimento Cheese Grits were tasty; Rice Crusted Catfish a crunchy delight; lamb chop and lamb sausage with eggplant and marinated cherry tomatoes was relished by all diners. For dessert, Coconut Cream Cheese Mousse, ginger infused melon, macadamia crumble was delicious with interesting contrast of textures while Hot, Salty & Sweet, peanuts, cinnamon/chipotle ice cream was bursting with complimentary flavors."
Dined on 8/14/2014
Our evening at Chef and the Farmer
was an exceptional dining experience. The service was very attentive. The food was everything we hoped it would be. It was worth the 5 hour drive and we enjoyed celebrating our 71st birthdays at the restaurant."
Dined on 8/14/2014
Staff was friendly, local beer on
tap was a great touch and the food was outstanding. The manager even took a few minutes to show me the rooms available for larger parties. The whole experience was great and it sold me on having my Air Force retirement dinner there!"

Loved everything about it! The
favors were amazing!! Fresh local and absolutely delicious. Best snapper I've ever eaten-anywhere-ever. We loved the place so much we came back the next night!"
Dined on 8/13/2014
The standard is consistent ...
close to perfect. We were seated in a slightly different area from last time and it was a little noisy but nothing can take away from the pleasure of the food and the staff. Whenever business meetings bring us to Raleigh it has become the only place to have dinner"
Dined on 8/12/2014
This was my second visit and I
love this place even more. The okra w/ ranch ice cream and shrimp and grits were top notch. I love to see what Vivian and staff are creating with the local foods. All staff were attentive and anxious to help in any way possible. Three of us sat at the kitchen bar and had a lot of fun watching 'the action'."
Dined on 8/12/2014
Drove from Virginia Beach to have
a special dinner and we were not disappointed. The greeting from the staff to all involved in our dinner. Brit (waitress) was exceptional, the helpers with water and busing tables will make great servers one day soon to the chefs. The meal was top gourmet. We will return another time."

Having trouble deciding on a broadhead for whitetail deer? Ten experienced bowhunters told us their go-to broadheads, and we compiled the results.
It's never a bad time to buy a new firearm. With that in mind, we came up with a list of four rifles, all available in an optics-included package, which will have you hunting whitetail this fall nearly right out of the box.
There's no shortage of whitetail hunters out there, nor shortage of locales where those hunters can put their skills to the test. But that begs a very important question: Just where is the best place to hunt whitetail? Welcome to Part I of our countdown.
Years of experience teaches hundreds of lessons if you keep an open mind. Of course, it is better to learn those lessons from the mistakes of others so here are five to avoid this season.
Thermals aren't as predictable as they may seem. Consider these factors when choosing a stand location for whitetail deer on hillsides and other slopes.
Could the corridors created by power lines help replace the wildlife habitat that's been disappearing through development and social pressures?
This latest offering from Georgia Pellegrini is a good recipe to make during the year's warmer months, when it's high time to start making room in your freezer before fall.
With the blizzard of media sources at our fingertips today, sometimes fundamentals get lost amid so much information. Bill Winke provides a few simple tips that may be getting overlooked.
Ordinarily it would be safe to assume an Alaska resident would have a pretty firm grasp of how to keep a firearm functioning in the cold, wouldn't it?
Whether getting started or renewing your vows, it's time to get back to the handgun hunting basics.
According to deer biologists, there are many misconceptions associated with mature buck behavior. We talked to a wildlife biologist with the QDMA to help bust five of these commonly-held myths.
When a degenerative disease makes it nearly impossible for a Nebraska man to hunt, his friend takes the reigns to raise the money needed to make hunting possible.
Deer hunters in the know remember Larry Benoit, the Vermont legend hailed as "the best deer hunter in America" in the early 1970s. He may be gone, but his sage advice lives.
Using the information gleaned from prominent deer researchers and experts can help you find your own big-buck hangout to help you land the whitetail of your dreams.
A blanket of snow and ice isn't unfamiliar terrain for many deer hunters. Running into those conditions in Florida, however? Not quite as common. Keith Wood found himself on such a hunt during this past topsy-turvy winter. Find out how at least one Floridian fared when forced to stalk whitetail in a not-often-seen winter wonderland.

Xbox One and PS4 Have Lost Me. Steambox, You're My Only Hope
Here goes. I'm disappointed with what has been said (and not said) by Microsoft and Sony, so I'm going to give Valve a shot. Here's my wishlist for the Steambox.
1.) Full Steam integration. While this could mean "no used games", I'm OK with that. I trust Valve and they have a history of being fair with pricing.
2.) SteamCloud support for all games. Saves stick with your profile and follow you around.
3.) SteamWorks support for mods/new levels. This is something that consoles consistently fail at. User-generated content is excellent on Steam (seriously, check out the levels on Portal 2).
4.) Easy to use, easy to keep up-to-date, and easy/fast to patch games. This is IMPORTANT. I need to be able to pick up a controller and be in a game in less than a minute.
5.) No need to fiddle with drivers, client updates, etc. This should be either a.) done in the background or b.) really fast.
7.) Offline mode. If you've paid for a game, and Steam knows it, you should not have any restrictions with how you play that game.
8.) A very Xbox-like controller. The 360 controller has become the de-facto PC controller, either support it directly or copy it unapologetically.
9.) A good matchmaking system, similar to Xbox.
10.) Cross-game voice chat.
Any others I'm missing? Sound off below.

What a shame
Just saw the video of wide receiver Simpsons catch and hurdle of Buffalo Bills defender. It's a shame he's gonna miss the first three games of the season because of a stupid decision with marijuana. Hopefully he's learned his lesson and when he returns he'll help us pick up some much needed victories. Skoal Vikings.

Crestron enhances home shading controls with a compact, yet powerful new solution for any exposure. The new Digital QMT™ Shade Motor™ delivers highly energy-efficient and quiet operation of window shades of any size. The Digital QMT features the first brushless motor design for shades, which translates into greater reliability, much longer life, smoother operation, and ultra-quiet operation in the home. Plus it eliminates the carbon dust generated by motors utilizing brushes. But going brushless does not diminish power. To the contrary, the Digital QMT provides more torque in a smaller package than any other shade motor. This reduces power consumption while enabling it to be paired with shades ranging from just 17-inches to over 10-feet wide, with no difference in operating noise and performance. No other shade motor can fit into such narrow windows. Both wired and wireless models are available and provide users with an unprecedented level of precision thanks to Variable Speed Control (VSC) settings that adjust shades speeds in 1/10th RPM increments. The Digital QMT integrates seamlessly into the complete Crestron home automation ecosystem, allowing homeowners to adjust their shades, lighting, audio, video, temperature, door locks and more from any device they choose, including touch screens, iPads®, or their smartphone.
Hunter Douglas has the largest and most diverse offering of upscale motorized custom window covering solutions on the market and the most extensive dealer network. The Platinum™ Gateway combines form with function to seamlessly integrate Hunter Douglas motorized window fashions with third-party controls. The Platinum Gateway provides customers with creative, custom control from the free Platinum™ App as well as from third-party systems via serial and IR communication. Consumers can expect a user-friendly interface to enhance natural home lighting and optimize privacy, security and energy management. Platinum Repeaters work in conjunction with the Platinum Gateway to extend the signal range to accommodate almost any size. As an integration solution, the possibilities are endless and incredibly simple. The internal IR receiver and serial port receive commands from third-party controllers and the Gateway transmits the Platinum RF signals to the Platinum Repeaters. The Repeaters then relay the correct position commands to every shading in the home. Integrated control is available via IP, RS-232 and IR input. Shades can be incorporated into an existing security system for additional safety benefits, or shading solutions can be tied into a whole home automation network. With the Platinum Gateway, shades don't just stand-alone, they stand out.

Ryan Fitzpatrick has the Buffalo Bills leading the Washington Redskins 13-0 at the half. Fitzpatrick has a 183 yards, one touchdown and one interception so far, completing 14 of 20 passes.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Fitzpatrick had a shiny, new, $59 million contract entering Week 8 against the Redskins, coming off a bye week, but having struggled in two of his last three games.
Against the Giants in Week 6, Fitzpatrick struggled with turnovers, throwing two interceptions against a Giants secondary that's been vulnerable all season. Fitzpatrick went up against the Redskins, playing at full strength but in the midst of a depressing two-game losing streak that saw Cam Newton carve them up for 256 yards and two total touchdowns. Start Fitzpatrick comfortably in most leagues.
For more on Fitzpatrick and his matchup with the Redskins, check out Bills blog, Buffalo Rumblings, and our Redskins blog, Hogs Haven. Also be sure to check out all of our fantasy football news and video highlights of the best Week 8 action.

Region: Piedmont, Barbaresco
"The 2005 Barbaresco Rabaja is the densest and richest of these 2005 Barbarescos. Because it is aged in a slightly smaller cask, the wine shows an explosive personality along with some oak nuances that require bottle age to settle down. This muscular Barbaresco resonates on the palate with layers of spiced, mentholated dark cherries, minerals and licorice. It remains a dense, structured and primary wine in need of serious bottle age for the firm tannins to melt away. This, too, is a sublime wine from Bruno Giacosa."

Prices, promotions and availability may vary by store and online.
2010 Paitin Barbaresco Sori Paitin
"Power and elegance meld together gracefully in the 2010 Barbaresco Sori' Paitin. This is another huge wine loaded with fruit, structure and phenomenal balance. Sweet red cherries, flowers and cinnamon emerge over time, but the 2010 stands out most for its exceptional pedigree and pure class. Striking in every way, the 2010 is shaping up to be one of the wines of the vintage."

SALISBURY, Md. - Alice Henderson, her children, friends and family raced Sunday in memory of James Henderson, who passed away two weeks ago due to complications from brain cancer.
"I miss my marine," said Alice Henderson. "He's always with me, that's what [my son] told me the very day we said our goodbye to him.
"He said, 'Mommy, he's with us everywhere.'"
Salisbury University's Student Military Veterans Association hosted the 5K race to raise some much needed funds for the family, who are struggling financially.
"I'm opening the bills everyday and thinking wow. [I'm] trying to save our house and we'll figure it out," said Alice Henderson.SMVA says they raised more than $1,600 from Sunday's race.
If you weren't able to make it to the run but would like to make a donation to the family, there's a fund set up at the Bank Of Delmarva called Healing Henderson.

Yusef Lateef - The Man With The Big Front Yard (3 Disc)
Free for All
MP3 320 kbps VBR avg | Jazz | 3 CD | 348.21 MB
This is a three-disc box set compiling four albums of his from 1967-1976. I came across it in a used bin and I have been a fan ever since! The albums included are: The Complete Yusef Lateef; Yusef Lateef's Detroit; Hush 'n Thunder; and The Doctor Is In...And Out.
Lateef's style is reminiscent of Rashaan Roland Kirk, in that he plays virtually all types of traditional and exotic wind instruments, and incorporates elements from many different musical traditions, contemporary and from around the world. This set starts out in a more traditional vein (though very innovative) and gets progressively more diverse. Most of the tracks have a distinctly 70's sound (in a GOOD way!), lots of funk, soul, blues and gospel, with plenty of heavy rhythms, electric bass and piano, and a little bit of everything else. I find it eccentric, funky, enlightening and evocative. In short, good times!! I ripped this awhile ago, can't remember with what, but it's at 320.

In the opening main card bout of UFC 161, heavyweight Shawn Jordan (15-4, 3-1 UFC) needed just 59 seconds to finish Pat Barry (8-6, 5-6 UFC) by TKO. After some heavy kicks, Jordan came in and landed an uppercut that stunned Barry. He followed it up with another hard shot that sent Barry to the mat, where "The Savage" finished him with a barrage of lefts to the face.
It was Jordan's second straight win and his third overall in the UFC. All three wins have come by TKO. Barry is now just 2-4 in his last six, and has been finished in all six of his UFC losses. Jordan picked up a $50,000 check for knockout of the night.
What was the high point of the fight?
The finish. The uppercut that Jordan caught him with was vicious, as was the followup shot. The flip Jordan did after the win was pretty cool too.
Where do they go from here?
The win was huge for Jordan, as he has now established himself in the division. He could face any number of guys the next time out, but I'd personally like to see him matched up with Matt Mitrione.
Barry apparently suffered a broken orbital bone, so he might be out for a while. When he comes back, it's tough to figure out what they'll do with him. If Ben Rothwell loses to Brandon Vera, it might be a good idea to set him up with Barry.
Watch now, later, or never?
Now. This was the only super-exciting fight on the main card, and it's only 59 seconds of your time.

Ever since I left the Midwest for the East Coast, I have found a way to travel with my closest friends on an annual basis. Our goal has been to get together and all be in the same "home" so we can eat, drink, and relax. This year, one of my friends reached a major "milestone" birthday and wanted to be somewhere warm. Our mission was to meet her request!
She debated about whether a beach was a necessity to enjoy her birthday, but after doing some research for her we decided to try an Orange Lakes resort in Orlando, Florida, even though we were not planning on visiting any of the major area attractions. This resort selection ended up being a wonderful way to spend a friend's birthday (even without our families), because of the numerous options and flexibility for dining, sitting poolside, and just relaxing indoors.
The various pools at the resort allowed us to pick one that suited our needs best. There were so many dining options on the resort property as well, from casual poolside fare, to a more formal dining atmosphere. We had so many options at our fingertips and never had to drive anywhere to get to them. When we just wanted to stay in and cook and celebrate together, we had a full kitchen at our disposal. And the screened in porch allowed us to enjoy the warm evening weather in the comfort of our own place.
My friend was delighted with her birthday celebration and all of us have a newfound appreciation of how much fun we can have even when we are not on an actual beach!
Check back on the RCI Blog this week to read stories and see photos from RCI subscribing members who have traveled for a birthday. And if you have a story or photo (or both!) of your own, please share it here and we may choose to feature it on the blog at the end of the week.

No plans to axe students' exemption, say Brighton and Hove Greens
1:40pm Tuesday 27th November 2012 in News By Tim Ridgway
A council leader has blamed his head of finance for sparking fears student council tax discounts could be scrapped or cut.
Brighton and Hove City Council's finance spokesman Leo Littman wrote to Government minister Eric Pickles calling for powers to cut or scrap the discounts for the city's student and single households.
The news was revealed in the November 24 edition of The Argus.
But following the reports, the Green party issued a statement distancing itself from its own councillor's proposal.
Council leader Jason Kitcat told The Argus yesterday (November 26): "It [the letter] was sent in error by Councillor Littman and should not have gone out. It is not something our administration is looking to do."
Coun Littman, who is the party's spokesman on finance and deputy chairman of the powerful policy and resources committee, was unavailable for comment.
Coun Kitcat added his administration had "no intention" of scrapping the discounts, a move which would have netted the Green-led local authority millions of pounds in extra revenue each year.
'Not party policy'
He said: "The letter does not represent the Green administration's position or Green Party policy."
The letter was sent to The Argus on Thursday, November 22 by the Green Party.
But Conservative councillor Geoffrey Theobald said: "If it is not their policy or intention to charge students council tax or reduce the single person discount then why write a letter to the Secretary of State asking for the power to make these changes?
"I don't believe that such a senior member of the administration would send such a letter without the backing of his party.
"This just shows the level of disarray that the Green administration is in."
Labour councillor Gill Mitchell said: "The Greens have made a clear decision to write and request these powers. They would have informed officers of that. They cannot now pretend as though they had nothing to do with this."
About 57,000 properties in the city currently claim council tax exemption or discounts, including 4,500 student homes and 45,000 homes lived in by single occupants.
Student households do not pay council tax. Single occupants get 25% off.

If he refuses to make this commitment I will be encouraging all those impacted by this group to stop oaying their council tax until we are called to court so we can hgihlight the lack of action by this council.
Jason, get out of your ivory tower and get into the communities and do something useful because so far you have only taken part on projects which are about you.

Yes, Maxwell's Ghost, there should be more funding for environmental health, particularly the noise team to work 24/7 not just Friday and Saturday nights.
This could be paid for from savings elsewhere - it's all a question of priorities. £1.5m has been allocated to put in an unenforceable large 20mph area. Just focus this on schools etc, save £1m and put this to noise team etc. Easy....

Either this man is deluded, and should be removed from his post and the party forthwith, being no longer fit to hold office, or we're not being told the truth about this matter.
So which is it? And can we expect to see Cllr Littman hauled up in front of another Green party court, like Cllr Summers before him, for breaking Green Party policy?

Kitcat is a liar !!!! The official Green press statement makes clear they don't to alter the student exemption ( although as Theobald says - why write the letter then ) BUT it only says the Green don't plan to scrap the single person discount. They have not denied wanting to lower the single person discount. Therefore they could reduce it to a 1% discount and still be telling the truth. Single people beware - the Greens want more of YOUR money !!!!!!!!!

Dawn of the Dead Bluray Exclusive
October 2009 sees the highly anticipated Blu-ray release of George A. Romero's classic zombie movie DAWN OF THE DEAD, presented as a special three-disc edition – exclusive to the UK – that represents the ultimate presentation of the film available anywhere in the world. Released just in time for Halloween, this is undoubtedly the horror movie Blu-ray release of the year.
Produced and compiled by Arrow Video with the kind of loving care and attention only the most devoted of zombie aficionados are willing to provide, this must-have three-disc set includes the George A. Romero approved Theatrical Cut of the film in 1080p resolution on Blu-ray, plus the Director's Cut and the Dario Argento Cut on DVD, the latter being made available on DVD as part of this collection for the first time in the UK.
Also included is a host of extras that include the rarely seen "Scream Greats" documentary on the career of special effects wizard Tom Savini, audio commentaries by the filmmakers and, for the first time, French Romero fanatic Nicolas Garreau's fascinating travelogue-come-documentary "Fan Of The Dead". Additionally, exclusively designed packaging features four different sets of artwork from which fans can choose to display the collection, including the little-seen "gasmask" artwork and an all-new, specially commissioned oil painting commemorating this landmark release of the film.
The release will be supported by screenings of DAWN OF THE DEAD and "Day Of The Dead" in Dublin (24th October), Edinburgh (25th October) and Glasgow (26th October) with special guests Ken Foree and Joe Pilato in attendance for audience Q&A sessions (see below for full details).
For those unfamiliar with this milestone movie in horror cinema history, here's the plot.
A National Emergency grips the US as the zombie population grows at an inexplicable and alarming rate. Two Philadelphia Police S.W.A.T. officers, a helicopter pilot and his TV reporter girlfriend escape the city and take refuge in an abandoned, suburban shopping mall after securing it following a series of brutal confrontations with the undead. Their survival is threatened when a band of looters leave a door open allowing the zombies access to the mall once more.
The first sequel to George A. Romero's seminal 1968 zombie classic "Night Of The Living Dead", the even more powerful and apocalyptic DAWN OF THE DEAD has been hailed by respected film critic Roger Ebert as "one of the best horror films ever made."
The three-disc DAWN OF THE DEAD (cert. 18) will be released on Blu-ray (£17.99) by Arrow Video on 19th October 2009.
- Disc One (Blu Ray)
Theatrical cut of the feature in 1080p High Definition; DTS HD and Stereo audio options; audio commentary by director George A Romero, special effects artist Tom Savini and assistant director Chris Romero; audio commentary by producer Richard P. Rubinstein; "Document of the Dead" documentary; "Document of the Dead: The Lost Interview" and deleted scenes; "Fan of the Dead" documentary.
- Disc Two (DVD)
Director's cut of the feature; "The Dead Will Walk" documentary.
- Disc Three (DVD)
Dario Argento's cut of the feature; "Scream Greats" documentary; Publicity Vault containing US and German trailers, TV and Radio spots, reviews, Arrow Video's Giallo trailers ("Macabre", "Sleepless" and "The House by the Cemetery").
- Also included: Exclusive, four artwork option packaging; double sided poster with all-new Rick Melton painting on one side and the original UK theatrical artwork on reverse; "For Every Night There is a Dawn" booklet written by Calum Waddell.
