According to Buzzfeed, ABC staff are now in a brutal tooth-and-claw battle for employment:
Australian Broadcasting Corporation management came under fire on Monday for pitting journalists against each other to fight for jobs, in what staff have internally called "a sick version of The Hunger Games".
As one commenter notes: "The Hunger Games is a book about children who must fight each other to the death. Wouldn't this be a tame version of The Hunger Games?" True, but read on:
BuzzFeed News has obtained documents showing the public broadcaster has put reporters into competitive "pools" and asked them to prove their "merit" to the organisation, challenged to hit benchmarks against their colleagues, or face the sack …
"The morale right now? Zero," one ABC News Sydney reporter told BuzzFeed.
"People knew cuts were coming but we had no idea how bad it would be or that managers would be this sociopathic."
None of us had any idea, which is why we're so upset that this isn't being televised. Come on, ABC! There's no sense setting up a brilliant reality show and then concealing it:
The dramatic events began shortly after Scott's speech to staff on Monday morning, with emails arriving in reporters inboxes telling them they had been placed in "pools" based on salary and expertise.
Each pool then had its own meeting and were told that members would be assessed against each other in a four week personal "skills audit". They would then be given, as one manager referred it: "a score on a ladder".
And the losers get booted:
At a Sydney meeting, 25 senior broadcast reporters were told that six among them would be sacked. In South Australia, 16 editors were told that five of them would go. The most brutal cuts appear to fall on the nationwide current affairs unit, where managers told a meeting of four junior producers they would be fighting for just one job.
"They are creating a culture of fear, pitting person against person, friend against friend and it's insane," one reporter told BuzzFeed News.
It's ratings gold, is what it is.
The mini tournaments will take place in every state newsroom over the next four weeks: with only the winners surviving beyond Christmas.
Only the winners survive. Perfect.

This isn't an original observation, but you never, ever see an unhappy butcher. Staff at vegetarian or vegan joints, on the other hand, usually seem sad. Or too happy, in a creepy, medicated kind of way. These views are now supported by research:
Australian vegetarians might be healthier than meat-eaters but they are unhappier and more prone to mental health disorders, new research suggests …
Dr John Lang, who developed the wellness index for preventive healthcare company Alere, says the adoption of a vegetarian diet can sometimes follow the onset of mental disorders.
Makes sense.

Batsman Phil Hughes began yesterday fighting to regain his place in the Australian Test cricket team. He ended it fighting for his life.
Farmer's son Hughes remains in a coma following his shocking injury at the SCG and subsequent surgery. Doctors say there will be no update on his condition for 24 to 48 hours. If you are the prayerful kind, you know how some of those hours might be spent.

ABC managing director Mark Scott's statement to staff:
My thoughts go out firstly to those who are losing their jobs. As other companies in the media sector have found, structural change can have painful personal consequences. We anticipate that more than 400 people – close to ten per cent of our ongoing workforce – face redundancy as we adjust our activities. We regard the changes as vital to securing the long term health of the organisation but I acknowledge that is no comfort to those who may lose their positions.
Three points:
• The ABC is not a "company in the media sector". A wholly government-funded ideological and financial handbrake on the nation, yes, but a company, no.
• Cuts of just five per cent over five years do not require Scott's level of "structural change", nor do they justify Community and Public Sector Union boss Michael Tull claiming the government has "forced" the ABC "to slash one in 10 jobs from its workforce." Which leads to the third point:
• How do five per cent budget cuts become ten per cent job cuts? Maybe because the ABC is sacrificing regional funding in order to safeguard the one per cent: Sydney's wealthiest ABC tax hoovers. Just a theory. In other ABC developments, Phillip Adams wonders why no major ABC television types have appeared at recent rallies:
… the absence of ABC TV's stars remains conspicuous and curious …
Possibly they've been crowded out by the ABC's real stars: Labor leaders, Greens senators and union hacks. In Canberra, a fellow ABC fan laments his tragic "loose":
Too bad he didn't learn anything about spelling or apostrophes. "Looses" instead of "loses" is a shockingly common error. Here is another, courtesy of angry emailer Phil W.:
All bets are on Abbott being a one term leader and no amount of bias reporting from you and your mates will help him at the next election.
That would be biased reporting, Phil. Discover the difference here.

Chatting at the SCG on Sunday with a senior cricket identity who mentioned that ground organisers face a dilemma over this summer's England-Afghanistan World Cup match. Who should get the home team dressing rooms? England has apparently never been granted that honour. Might this be the first time?
I argued in favour of Afghanistan. Of the two represented nations, it has fewer Islamic fundamentalists.

Many hobbies involve collecting things, which is fine, except that most of these collections draw from finite sources – old coins, stamps, the Elgin Marbles and so on.
It's much more fun when supplies are both old and newly-occurring. This is why I collect stupid things said and done by left-wing types. Particularly prized are moments when leftists reveal they really don't have all that much in common with the common folk they claim to support.

Fifteen years ago I was driving to the Telegraph's office to run the news desk solo for the first time. I not only had no prospective front-page story, but nothing for pages two through to 15. It might have been Sydney's slowest-ever news day, and I was going to get fired for it.
Then the radio announced that John F. Kennedy Jr's small aircraft had vanished on a flight to Martha's Vineyard. Tragic news, obviously, but also massive news.
Of course, one organisation's slow news day can be another's bonanza. It all depends on priorities.

Brad Keselowski has stitches removed from right hand, good to go for Daytona
Jul 4, 2014, 7:56 PM EST
Brad Keselowski is all whole again.
Keselowski tweeted Friday afternoon from Daytona International Speedway that the four stitches in his right hand were removed earlier in the day.
"Just had stitches pulled out," Keselowski's tweet read.
Keselowski received the stitches in the infield care center after cutting his hand on a broken champagne bottle in victory lane following his win at Kentucky Speedway last Saturday.
"We were playing around with some champagne bottles and as I told my good friend, 'We should have stuck with beer,'" Keselowski said shortly after the accident. "We were having too much fun with champagne and one of the bottles broke and I cut my hand open. It's no big deal.
"… It's a lot better story when you win and get hurt."
Keselowski has had no issues this week with the stitches in his hand, which he uses primarily for shifting (he said he typically drives with his left hand on the wheel).
"Do I anticipate (any problems holding the steering wheel)? No, last time I had stitches, it was just seven days or so and we're going to Daytona, which is probably the easiest track you could ask for," Keselowski said at Kentucky. "I didn't break any bones or any of that stuff. I just put a big gash, so I don't think it'll be an issue."

Score from 140 reviews Excellent
We loved our room with its period features and it was just a short walk into the centre to find restaurants and the beautiful harbour. Breakfast was really nice.
We were on the first floor and needed to carry our heavy suitcases up the stairs as there is no lift. Its not a big disadvantage if you are fit - but you need to be aware of it !
Very comfortable and quiet, excellent restaurant adjacent.
Floors and staircases leaning in all directions. Not a problem to stay but I wouldn't buy the building.
Quaint inn in a marvellous location in a really lovely village. Good car parking facilities, and the complimentary breakfast was excellent for choice.
For our circumstances, would have preferred the facility of a lift as getting our cases up two flights of stairs was a little bit of a problem for us.
Corner room - great views of the town. I haven't slept that soundly away from home in YEARS! The front desk away awesome, asking about my stay, giving suggestions for dinner, asked how it was, etc
It was a bit tight in the bathroom, but understandably it is an old hotel.
Ambience great. Large comfortable bedroom and bathroom
Carrying cases upstairs
We spent one night at the Whaler's Inn. Our room was perfect, loved the charm of the Inn.The staff were friendly and helpful. Hope to go again soon. Loved Mystic
Spacious and comfortable room. Good view of the bridge, water and boats passing under the lifting bridge. Excellent location for a variety of restaurants
Advertised Wi-Fi in every room, but none available in ours, and nothing the management offered to do. Access required standing in the corridor outside the room - not ideal....
Mystic offers so many nice things to do. Daniel Packers Inn is a must. Thursday is music night
We came to Mystic for a romantic getaway and were thrilled with our luxurious accommodations at The Whaler's Inn. The room was spacious, with elegant decor (great artwork with nautical themes), a gas fireplace, an awesome over-sized spa tub, and a bed that was so cozy we hated to get up in the morning! The staff were friendly...even provided fresh baked cookies daily in the reception area. Breakfast was plentiful daily. The location can't be beat...it's just across from the historic drawbridge. Watching the boat traffic was fun for us out-of -towners!
Wish there had been a "lift" to the upstairs rooms in the Hoxie House.
Nice,quiet and relaxing getaway
The staff was extremely accommodating. I mentioned we needed to leave very early and ask if coffee would be available. They not only had fresh coffee ready but breakfast items too. They went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend the Whaler Inn for your next stay in Mystic or Connecticut!
Little tired. Carpets needed cleaning.
Location Friendly helpful staff
Beds were small for two people
Very nice rooms and great location
Breakfast was lacking
Lovely hotel. Great location. Room excellent. Complimentary breakfast and afternoon tea and cookies! Parking easy and free, and right outside our room.
Leaving after one night!!!!
The location is great!
Staff was not very friendly.
Location was excellent.
Disposable coffee cups were too small.
Clean, comfortable, and great location. Staff will go out of their way to please. We will definitely stay there again on our return visit.
Really good location, good reception service, large room in quaint olde worlde house with rickety stairs. Free breakfast, good selection of baked goods and fruits. Free WiFi.
Secondary double glazing rattled through the night, nothing we could do to stop it. Shame really, everything else ok.
Whalers Inn is a fabulous building in a great location in Mystic.. we were very tired and jet lagged when we arrived , but had a great sleep ,pleasant breakfast and enjoyed our stay, it was our first American Inn and knew it was going to be a good holiday.
enjoy the proximity to great restaurants and the free music show at the park by the water and loved! Love brunch and it's easy casual access
size of the bath room
We stayed just 1 night , and loved the unique nature of a vintage hotel. It is located in the heart of the village with easy walking to restaurants and shopping. The room was super clean, well equipped with the usual amenities, and nicely decorated. The front desk staff were friendly and accommodating, and delicious cookies were served in the lobby. I would definitely stay here again.
Our 3rd floor room was a walk up - no elevator.
Friendly help full staff. Quiet very comfortable room. Free bike hire from the welcome centre at the station. Enjoyed dinner at the Bravo Bravo resturante on the hotel corner.

Current Film Schedule
Thanksgiving Break - College Closed
November 26 - 29, 2014
Happy Thanksgiving!
The College is closed for Thanksgiving weekend (Wednesday through Saturday). We re-open on Sunday.
The Final Member
November 30 - December 03, 2014
2013, Canada, Directed by Jonah Bekhor & Zach Math, Rated R, 75 minutes, Blu-Ray, in English and Icelandic with English subtitles.
Paris has the Louvre. London has the Tate Modern, and New York the Metropolitan Museum. But Husavik, Iceland—a diminutive village on the fringe of the Arctic Circle—boasts the world's only museum devoted exclusively to painstakingly preserved male genitalia. Founded and curated by Sigurður "Siggi" Hjartarson, the Icelandic Phallological Museum houses four decades worth of mammalian members, from a petite field mouse to the colossal sperm whale, and every "thing" in between.
But, lamentably, Siggi's collection lacks the holy grail of phallic phantasmagoria: a human specimen. Siggi's world changes dramatically when he receives generous offers from an elderly Icelandic Casanova and an eccentric American.
However, as the competition for eternal penile preservation heats up between the two men, Siggi soon discovers that this process is more complicated than it initially appeared. In their debut feature film, Jonah Bekhor and Zach Math follow Siggi on his dogged, often emotional quest to complete his exhibition in a peculiar, yet startlingly relatable, story of self-fulfillment and the value of personal legacies (both big and small). © Drafthouse Films
Sunday matinee at 2:00 p.m.;
Sunday-Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.
Happy Christmas
December 05 - 10, 2014
2014, USA, Directed by Joe Swanberg, Rated R, 88 minutes, Blu-Ray.
A budding novelist and her film director husband, Kelly (Melanie Lynskey) and Jeff (Joe Swanberg) and their two-year-old son live a peaceful existence in Chicago.
But when Jeff's irresponsible younger sister, Jenny (Anna Kendrick), comes to live with them after a breakup, things start to change.
Jenny begins a rocky relationship with a baby sitter-cum-pot dealer (Mark Webber), and she and a friend, Carson (Lena Dunham), instigate an evolution in Kelly's life, as her career and her relationship with her husband begin to grow in new directions. But are they welcome ones? © Magnolia Pictures
Friday & Saturday at 7:00 & 9:00 p.m.;
Saturday & Sunday matinee at 2:00 p.m.;
Sunday-Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.
Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale
December 11, 2014 · 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
2010, Finland/Norway, Directed by Jalmari Helander, Rated R, 84 minutes Blu-Ray, in Finnish and English with English subtitles.
It's the eve of Christmas in northern Finland, and an 'archeological' dig has just unearthed the real Santa Claus. But this particular Santa isn't the one you want coming to town.
When the local children begin mysteriously disappearing, young Pietari and his father Rauno, a reindeer hunter by trade, capture the mythological being and attempt to sell Santa to the misguided leader of the multinational corporation sponsoring the dig.
Santa's elves, however, will stop at nothing to free their fearless leader from captivity. What ensues is a wildly humorous nightmare – a fantastically bizarre polemic on modern day morality.© Oscilloscope Pictures
Thursday at 7:00 p.m. only. Free and open to the public.
Closed for Winter Break
December 12 2014 - January 22, 2015

Added Apr 1, 2013

Charlotte Hall, ...
I made this dress for the Sew for Victory sew along challenge, hosted by Rochelle from Lucky Lucille.
I used a vintage pattern from the 1940s, Simplicity 4036. I had to make a lot of alterations to the pattern (it was two sizes too big and I always have a lot of fit issues anyway), but I'd say it was worth it.
The fabric is a vintage chambray that I picked up at a thrift store a while back for about $2. I made the buttons and the belt, using material I had left over from a previous reconstruction. It has little red cherries with navy and light blue stems and leaves.
Read more about it here.

On A Brief History of Cursing
LOLing at giving the light switch the finger. I have done that.
On Bloodfeast: Scary White People Tacos
Hah - I've always called these "Mom-style tacos". My mom whips up that Ortega taco dinner kit, with MILD salsa. It's the most exotic recipe in her repertoire, other than "chicken cacciatore", which for her consists of boneless chicken breasts over spaghetti with a jar of Prego dumped on top.
On In Praise of Tori Amos
What's wrong with Ren Faires???? Tori 4EVA. (I can't believe she's 50!)
On Ask Baba Yaga: Should I Pick the Career That Fits Me Or the One I Want to Fit?
Holy shit -- this is the best one yet. Thank you, Baba Yaga.
On DIY Crystal Light Lip Balm
This just confirms everything I suspected about DIY beauty products. Give me science-based beauty!
On Two Ways to Order a Shake
I love that you guys plan on doing some longitudinal tracking.... my coworkers and I were tracking our microwave's performance on popcorn, stratified by brand. We had the just about the perfect popping times down for fewest unpopped kernels/least burning, and they replaced the microwave!
On Tax Terms, Explained
I really want to be the type of person who can pull off a kaftan. I feel like I won't be able to until I'm an older-ish lady and own more bangles.
On A Bold Notion for Baby Showers
@yeahsurefine I feel the same. I mean, I absolutely agree than men should be expected to participate in all the second-shift work that goes into making a life: housework, cooking, parenting, etc. (and it really bums me out that so many women I know have "partners" who aren't very partner-y on that stuff) But personally I'd much rather just have a ladies brunch type thing for my shower - the co-ed ones I've been to have been SUPER awkward. At a picnic one, all the men stayed outside and drank while the women went inside for present opening. It was like the 8th grade dance all over :P
On FOUND: The Best Sheets
@likethestore I see! I'm a fan of whatever they use at nice hotels, so I guess I like crisp. With my menagerie, I could never pull off that whole dreamy all-white bedding thing though.
On FOUND: The Best Sheets
@likethestore Wait, what's bad about percale? I need to know more about sheets, legitimately. (Although I'm still probably just going to buy what's on sale at Kohl's, someday I'll spurge on really good sheets...)

Our Digest of Global Feminist News and Opinion
Eighty years after the 1934 ruling guaranteeing women's suffrage and the right to run for office, Turkish women begin to emerge in local leadership positions. The recent materialization of these mayoral madams can largely be attributed to Turkey's Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), the rising political affiliation known for its promotion of egalitarianism and female representation. Child bride survivor Berivan Kilic, co-mayor of Kocakoy, and others like her hope to push critical women's issues to the forefront of the Turkish political agenda, in spite of international qualms.
Sportz Shortz, June 14, 2014
Our Bi-weekly Digest of Women's Sporting News
The arrival of a mega sporting event, like this year's World Cup in Brazil, is often shrouded by the stigma of exploitation, violence, and human rights concerns surrounding sex workers and the incoming surge of international fans. But updated research suggests that these claims are likely to be disproportionately exaggerated, and draw attention away from the very real problems of poverty, forced displacement, and police brutality toward citizens. Efforts to protect migrant sex workers can all too easily take a backseat to sensationalism and scandal.
World Watch June 7, 2014
Our Digest of Global Feminist News and Opinion
Actress and activist Laverne Cox is no stranger to adversity. Everything from dehumanizing questions about genitalia to alarmingly frequent acts of violence continue to plague those in the trans* community. The country is stuck in such a state of inequality and discrimination that even Cox's triumph on the cover of Time could not be appreciated without inane objection in the form of misogynist propaganda.

Top Story
18-Year-Old Taylor Townsend rocks it in Paris, restoring hope to those American fans blind-sided by the Williams sisters early departure. The Chicago native is among the youngest U.S. competitors to breech the third round at Roland Garros and is already an international champion. But despite her win at the 2012 Australian Open Girls' Singles at 15-years-old, Townsend paid her own way into the following U.S. Open Junior Tournament when the USTA neglected to finance her entrance, citing concerns over her weight.
World Watch May 27, 2014
Our Digest of Global Feminist News and Opinion
Top Story
In order to begin breeching global women's oppression, more than making martyrs out of schoolgirls needs to be done. Amidst a western media circus, the U.S.'s recent decision to deploy troops to Chad in an effort to assist in locating 200-plus young Nigerian women, more than a month after their abduction, is cause for some scrutiny over a military tactic some might deem opportunistic.

Fine place to stop briefly, could be a little cheaper for what you get but saying that the only thing cheaper in the area was pitching a tent and if you're from interstate that's not really an option.

UK and EU 'must do more' to help refugees
The head of the Refugee Council has called on the government to increase the number of resettlement places it offers to refugees.
Refugee Council chief executive Maurice Wren said Britain has a proud tradition of protecting refugees and it must increase the opportunities afforded to those attempting to flee persecution.
EU member states resettle 5,500 refugees each year
The whole of the European Union offers 5,500 resettlement places each year, significantly less than the USA or Australia, according to the UN.
- EU member states offer 5,500 places
- Out of the EU, Sweden offers the most: 1,900 places
- The UK offers up to 750 places per year
- The United States offers 70,000 places
- Australia offers 20,000 places
- Canada offers 7,100 places
Call to increase number of refugees resettled in the UK
The Refugee Council is calling for the government to increase the number of places it provides to refugees fleeing persecution from across the world.
On the 10th anniversary of the UK resettling refugees under the UN's Gateway Protection Programme (GPP), the Refugee Council has urged the Government to do more to help vulnerable people.
Under the GPP system, the UK accepts up to 750 refugees from around the world every year for resettlement.
The Home Office said it has accepted more than 3,000 individuals under the GPP scheme since 2010.

Tory MP accuses Cameron of 'posturing' over refugees
David Cameron has been accused of "political posturing" after the Government confirmed plans to accept "several hundred" of the most vulnerable refugees from the Syrian conflict in a bid to head off a damaging backbench revolt.
The change of heart by the coalition - confirmed by Home Secretary Theresa May in a Commons statement ahead of an opposition day debate on the issue - was broadly welcomed by MPs on all sides of the House.
Tory backbencher Andrew Bridgen said Britain had already donated £600 million - more than the rest of the EU put together - and that admitting a few hundred people would make little difference to such a vast refugee crisis.
"It is pure political posturing and tokenism. I think that people can see the political expediency of the u-turn," he told BBC Radio 4's The World at One.
UN Refugee Agency welcomes Syria refuge programme
The UN Refugee Agency in the UK has welcomed the Government's plans to provide refuge to the "most vulnerable" Syrians.
In a statement to the House of Commons, Home Secretary Theresa May said the UK would not be signing up to a quota scheme because "we want to focus our assistance on the most vulnerable people".
UNHCR's Representative to the UK, Roland Schilling, said: "We welcome the announcement of the UK government to provide refuge to some of the most vulnerable Syrian refugees, in cooperation with UNHCR.
"This decision will help to provide much needed solutions for vulnerable Syrian refugees many of whom have been deeply traumatised and face immense hardship.
"It is also a concrete and important gesture of solidarity and burden sharing with the countries neighbouring Syria as they continue to bear the brunt of the refugee crisis."
Govt programme launched to help 'vulnerable' Syrians
Home Secretary Theresa May has outlined the Government's plan to help the most vulnerable Syrians find safety in the UK.
She told the House of Commons: "Our country has a proud tradition of providing protection to those in need. And where there are particularly difficult cases of vulnerable refugees, who are at grave risk, we are ready to look at those cases."
She added: "The Government will be launching a new programme to provide emergency sanctuary in the UK for displaced Syrians who are particularly vulnerable."
Home Secretary: Syrian refugee crisis is 'immense'
Home Secretary Theresa May has told the House of Commons the scale of the Syrian refugee crisis is "immense".
She said: "The greatest contribution we can make is to work to end the conflict altogether, using UK diplomacy and our international influence to support the negotiations taking place in Geneva."
She added the the Government's goal was that of a "peaceful settlement" and that the £600m already given to the Syrian relief effort was the UK's largest ever response to a humanitarian crisis.
Govt statement on Syrian refugees at 12.30pm
The Labour whips' office in the House of Commons has tweeted that the Home Secretary will make a statement about Syrian refugees today at 12.30pm before Prime Minister's Questions:
UK to admit 'most vulnerable' refugees from Syria
Britain is to take in some of the most vulnerable refugees from the Syrian civil war.
The most vulnerable refugees include:
- Torture victims
- Abandoned children
The UK is not signing up to take a quota of refugees under the United Nations sanctuary scheme to resettle up to 30,000 vulnerable Syrians in Western nations, but Nick Clegg said the UN High Commission for Refugees backs the Government's plans.

Many of them allow you to choose which area of your brain you want to workout, and you'll find that these games may actually be more fun than you thought.
Step Two: Read a Book
Spend a day at the library choosing a few books that look interesting to you. Reading does nothing but stimulate your imagination. While you're reading, you can't help but draw up what characters look like in your mind, or make up your own ending to the book. The more imaginative you are, the more your working those brain cells, so read, read, read.
Step Three: Catch some zzz's
Not getting enough sleep can cause an interference with your brain's ability to absorb new info. In order to perform it's best, your brain needs lots of rest. Make sure that next time you study you don't cram it all into the night before. Giving your brain time to absorb the info will definitely help you ace those tests.
Step Four: Get Some Exercise
Physical exercise isn't just to make your bod look good, but it also helps make your brain bigger and better. Cardio workouts will help get your blood flowin' to your brain, and improve in cognitive functioning. So next time you don't feel like working out, just remember that you're benefiting your brain, too.
Step Five: Eat Breakfast
Lots of people think that skipping breakfast is a good way to lose weight. Don't do it! Eating breakfast is essential in getting your day started, and it's been proven that teens that eat breakfast do better on tests. Try eating lots of carbs and protein in the morning. It'll give you lots of energy and will keep you full longer.

Roast Loin of Pork with Black Pudding Stuffing, served with Roasted Vegetables & Apple Sauce
In this whole wholesome recipe from Roly's Café & Bakery (Gill & Macmillan), you get the benefit of both delicious good quality pork – and an artisan black pudding. Simple, traditional Irish food at its best.
Serves 4
1 kg loin of pork
300g Kelly's Black Pudding (or other)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
200ml vegetable oil
400g organic root vegetables, such as carrots, parsnips, potatoes, peeled & roughly chopped
300ml olive oil
For the apple sauce:
2 apples
100ml water
1 tsp sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C.
2. With a sharp knife, open a cavity in the pork loin along its length. Stuff with the black pudding, then tie with kitchen string. Season the pork with salt and pepper and place in a roasting tray. Pour over the vegetable oil, then put into the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
3. Reduce the heat to 190°C and cook for a further 50 minutes, turning the pork over after 25 minutes.
4. Place all the vegetables in a separate roasting tray, season with salt and pepper and pour over the olive oil. Cook for 50 minutes along with the pork, turning occasionally until done.
5. Meanwhile, to make the apple sauce, peel and core the apples, then cut into small pieces. Place in a saucepan with the water and sugar and cook on a gentle heat for 15 minutes, until the apples are soft. Remove to a blender and purée until smooth.
6. Remove the pork from the oven and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the string, carve and serve surrounded by the roasted vegetables and apple sauce.
[Editor's note/Variations: If I were making this at home, I'd make sure to have pork with the skin on, for lovely crispy crackling – and I'd use traditional 'falling' apples such as Bramley and then skip the blending/puréeing stage. I'd also make some old-fashioned gravy - but then, I'm not running a restaurant. I know that changing the recipe would make it into a bit of a 'country dinner'. GC]

I'll be visiting the Charleston area next weekend (from NYC!) for a wedding. Getting in Thursday, staying until Sunday. I'll be staying in a rented house with the bride's family Thursday through Sunday morning near Hollywood, close to the venue, but my boyfriend and I have decided to stay for an extra night into Monday...
We're free to roam on our own ALL day Sunday (we have a car rented) and are staying at Charleston Place Hotel on Sunday night. Need three tips:
1) What to do during the day on Sunday? Note: I LOVE a good brunch, particularly with unlimited/bottomless mimosas (does that exist in Charleston?). But what else?
2) Dinner suggestions on a Sunday night for two
3) Bar suggestions on a Sunday night, post-dinner
Any help would be appreciated! My boyfriend and I are 26/27 yrs old, by the way! Just trying to have fun but also experience the city for the beauty I hear it holds!
Day and a half in Charleston!

Since you have such a short time I say skip the beaches and concentrate on the Historic District. Charleston Place is very nice.
1) Take a carriage ride first thing. Just go to the corner of Meeting and Anson and get in line. My favorite brunch is at High Cotton. No bottomless mimosas but in the heat, you'll want to limit your intake : D. I like the island cocktail there. If you want a view and a little less upscale, go to Fleet Landing.
2) For dinner look at Peninsula Grill. It's right across from the hotel and it's excellent. Also look at Magnolia's or 82 Queen for something a little more traditional.
3) Cypress has a beautiful upstairs bar. Stars Grill Room, Vendue Inn and Market Pavilion have rooftop bars.
Be sure to take time just to walk around. Charleston really is special. And don't expect much down in Hollywood! It's pretty remote. I think I know where you'll be-I've been to several weddings out there, and the venue is lovely. But remote.
Report Abuse
Check whether the wedding party will be having anything on Sunday for out of towners. It is pretty common in the south to have a brunch the day after the wedding. Of course, you can always opt out of it. Sue has given you all the dish! Have fun--you'll want to come back!!
Report Abuse
Sue, if they had any free time on Friday--or if the wedding is in the evening, could they go to a plantation from Hollywood?
I just looked at a cool map of Charleston area and sort of put some things together I hadn't really known.
Report Abuse
Hey, Gretchen,
It's certainly possible, but it's a little tricky. and the roads are dark. 17 crawls with police on weekends (apparently Hollywood can get busy) so I'm not sure I'd suggest doing that when night driving is necessary.
Report Abuse
I agree with Suewoo's suggestions. (She's never led me wrong on my visits!) For a more causal meal, Jestine's is great- out of this world pecan crusted chicken.

Hey swaler518!

Ok so I tried to back it up on the iPad and it submitted instead. Let me try again.
Hi, swalter518! Did I see you're planning another trip?
And Gretchen, I misread your post. Yes, Hollywood is not too far from plantation row. If the visits are in the day no prob.
There is a really great place called Fish Net. It's hard to see, but it's right next to Dodges chicken where you turn to get from 17 over to 68. Not at all fancy but excellent shrimp fried while you wait. FYI for those driving south of town.
Report Abuse
Thank you all so much for your suggestions! I should really turn on my email notifications - I didn't think anyone had responded to my post yet! Haha.
The wedding is actually ON a plantation in Hollywood (Olde Wide Awake Plantation) which I'm very excited about as we'll get to experience that very up close and personal! Which means that we're also very okay with sticking to downtown Charleston Sunday.
I've read great reviews about Peninsula Grill and 82 Queen. How would you compare the both of those to Husk, FIG and Poogan's Porch? I know that most of them are all American cuisine, with Poogan's and 82 Queen focusing on true Southern style fare, correct? I guess that's our catch... Coming from NYC, we get to constantly experience all sorts of genres of food, so getting a REAL lowcountry, South Carolinian dinner with a more high-end, romantic atmosphere is ideal. Seems like an oxymoron though - does a place like that exist?
Sue - I will absolutely keep an eye on High Cotton for brunch. The menu is RIGHT in line with mine and my boyfriend's tastes. Thanks for that suggestion, as well as the rooftop bars... In love with them!
Report Abuse
All of them are traditional-you'll get real Southern food, believe me. Poogan's is okay. It used to be ahead of its time. Now it's just ok, and I think you'd be happier elsewhere. 82 Queen has a lovely patio and is my favorite for outdoor seating. Husk runs up and down. FIG is my favorite restaurant in Charleston. It's been consistently great, farm-to-table before it was so trendy. The pate is the best I've ever had.
But you want high end romantic, book Peninsula Grill. It's wonderful. The coconut cake is outstanding.
Take a look at the menus on line, understanding that FIG, Peninsula and High Cotton all will have fresh specials that won't be listed.

For this week's Quickfire Challenge, the chefs had to make pie, and Chef Payard explained how important the pie crust is.
If you want to make Hubert Keller's perfect pie crust, he'll show you how here.
I looooove pie (although I go back in forth in my head whether I prefer pie or cake -- which one do you prefer?) The chefs didn't just have to make pie, though, they had to make it with one hand tied behind their backs! Now they sort of know what Rebecca went through most of the season!
The chefs took it in stride, though, and the only one who had a real problem was Matthew. He accidentally moved his dish with his extra hand. Thus, he was out of contention for the win. I looove when contestants say they hope no one saw them break the rules … to the camera. No, Matthew. No one saw you.

Saatchi on Saatchi
One of the world's foremost art collectors, Charles Saatchi famously refuses to be interviewed, but here he answers some questions put to him via email by The Daily Beast.
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think's contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.
Big Think's Edge learning platform for career mentorship and professional development provides engaging and actionable courses delivered by the people who are shaping our future.

Movie violence against women has long been a staple of mainstream film-making but is becoming ever more forensically detailed, claims a troubled Natasha Walter.
Michael J. Formica says taking personal responsibility is essential in overcoming addiction but systems like AA allow its abdication.
Corruption slang can sound cute in foreign tongues. Euphemisms may belittle cross-border bribes but they are still illegal, warn James G. Tillen and Sonia M. Delmans.
Cleopatra is the selling point but the resurrection of a long-lost world is the strength of a powerful new exhibition at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.
As India wrestles with the politically-sensitive question of including caste in its 2011 census, P. Sainath looks at a once strong anti-caste reform movement.
What should happen to the former Stasi HQ? How much of a glimpse into history, and whose interpretation of it, should it offer?
The New Yorker looks at how American intellectuals are reacting to Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Tariq Ramadan, two authors born into Islam who now support the liberal-democratic project.
Labs in England are developing machines that can essentially replicate themselves by building their own spare parts as an insurance against future mishaps, reports the New Scientist.

"An increasing number of Jewish activists in Europe and the U.S. are expressing their displeasure—and even anger—over the way in which Israel has evolved in recent years," says Al Jazeera.
"I always said I wasn't going to write about Norman because no one would believe it," Norris Church Mailer once said, but now she has written a memoir about her marriage to the novelist.
"Are we more or less likely to lie to someone if we are communicating via email or text message than if we are speaking face-to-face?" asks Professor Jeff Hancock of Cornell University.
The digital divide is about more than access to the Internet, say experts. The white Anglo-Europeans who program the Web may set culturally exclusive parameters on the experience.
Garrison Keillor is feeling especially powerless these days: "As the Gulf turns dark and the polar ice cap melts, I intend to listen to Bach more and listen to the news less," he says.
