If custom requires a Preface to this new volume, after
what have preceded it as well in the Censura Literaria
as in the former one of the present undertaking, it can
hardly be expected that we should still enforce at much
length the use of Bibliographical knowledge. The growing
fashion of this pursuit has excited some obloquy, origi-
nating perhaps rather from a superficial than profound view
of its tendency. It is so easy to speak with scorn of a
skill in title-pages, and all the numerous haters of books are
so ready and so happv to join in the contempt, that it is
caught without examination, and repeated with a senseless
To this triumph Ignorance is perfectly welcome * she
may, if she chooses, glory in her own blindness : for my
part, I shall leave her to herself.
It is clearly for the interests of learning, that a due at-:
tention should be raised to all its curiosities. The value of
literary history has been duly appreciated by all men of cul-
tivated minds: and it cannot well be questioned, that the
present zeal for the possession of old books tends to en-
courage and advance it.
Much has been said* and many strange lamentations
have been uttered about the prices of the JRoxburglie Library.
It is the individual opinion of the present writer that they
form a subject ; of xxulfjttion} rather -than- of -regret. A

more effectual impulse to the search and revival of these
treasures could not have been given ! Some selfish Collec-
tor, who wished for his own private ends to obtain the
articles he wanted without rivalry, may declaim at the folly
and extravagance of that sale. But hence the attention will
be drawn to many a rare gem, which, while it was cheap,
would have called forth no interest. I care not, if it be only
whim and fashion that direct these things : the whim and
fashion are directed to very good ends.
How can a young nobleman of illustrious rank, and
princely fortune, begin life more innocenily, more gene-
rously, nay more virtuously, than by entering into these
rivalries? And in whose hands is there a probability that
these treasures will be more safe or more accessible?
As to Bibliography, it is so idle to suppose that the books
of the present day only are wanting, and that all are in use
which are worthy of being used, that most liberal inquirers,
however book-learned, will be astonished and shocked on
looking into any copious and learned catalogues of the last
and precedent centuries, more especially the foreign, to ob-
serve how much has been done in the most laborious and.
profound manner, of which they had not even a concep-
tion ! *
Whatever may be said, Bibliography, so far from being
exhausted, is still in a very infant state with us. Much re-
mains to be known of the early printed books ; and even the
Caxtons have not yet been perfectly investigated. Though
Ritson had such confidence in his own researches, that he
boldly pronounced the mention of a work, of which he him-
self could not otherwise ascertain the existence, to be *
* Take for instance B'Mioihett, flcmtiana, Lugd. Bat. 1682, I9ma.
twgery ; yet time has since produced several of which he
had never even heard.
It is among the advantages of the progression of such 4
work as this, that
vires acquirit eundo.
It gradually unlocks the collections, and draws forth the
assistance, of those who have been engaged in similar pur-
suits. How important, nay how necessary such assistance
is, scarce any one will be so confident in his own strength
as to deny ! Conference and comparison are peculiarly requi-
site in these inquiries: and the result of much casual in-
formation, which would otherwise have perished with the
occasion, is thus preserved and embodied !
Whether from the oblivion into which they had formerly
fallen, or the very high prices which they have now at-
tained, black-letter books have for perhaps a century been
little accessible to the generality of the literati ! But that a
large portion of them are worthy of attention, and that of
many the perusal is positively necessary to the investigations
which occupy the various labours of the learned, 1 shall
scorn to endeavour to prove ; but take as an admitted truth.
Hence then the obvious use of the contents of the Bib-
liographer will follow! Setting aside the mere selfish
Collector whose whole view is the possession of an exclu-
sive treasure, all who seek books for their legitimate pur-
poses must be sensible of essential aid from these notices
and abstracts, when the originals are not to be procured :
while the entire reprints of The Paradise of Dainty De-
vices and The England's Helicon add most valuable deside-
fata to their poetical libraries. "^
Of how much remains to be done every day's experience
continues to enlarge the proof; and so far are the Editors
from having exhausted their materials, that they are rather
distracted hy abundance. Were they inclined to boast,
thev would boast of the proud aid they have derived front
Oxford, the illustrious scene of the studies of Thomas War-
ton; where the stores of the Bodleian and the Ashmole re-*-
main yet rich in the promise of plentiful harvests.
Does the Reader require more? Does he a^k any further
excitement to these investigations ? Will he listen to some
superficial, idle, and pert exclaimer, that these are but "dull
41 and obsolete antiquarian scraps not worth the print and
*' paper they consume!" Let him rather persevere, ana 1
every dav will open some interest to him, which at first es-
caped his attention. His ideas will expand; he will not
think all wisdom, all learning, and all eloquence centered in
his cotemporaries ; Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, and Mil-
ton ; More, and Hooker, and Bacon, will have new charms
for him; and he will see before him matters of inex-r
haustible investigation, and themes for works which ages
cannot fill up !

*|f Memoirs of Gower and Chaucer.
Of the two great Fathers of English Poetry, Gower
and Chaucer, it would be difficult to say any thing
new. Yet a work which undertakes to give the biography
of the most eminent of the early professors of this high
art, would be very deficient without some memorials of
those celebrated men. It has struck me therefore that
under these circumstances, when so much has lately
been written about them, without throwing many new
lights on their history, it would usefully gratify curiosity
to introduce a transcript of the account given of them by
the celebrated John Leland, one of the first, most
learned, and most accomplished of our biographers and
The book, in which these memoirs occur, though not
scarce, is now, I believe, but seldom thought of, and
still seldomer consulted. It is entitled:
" Commenlarii de Scriptoribus Britannic is t Auclore
Joanne Lelando Londinense. Ex Autographo Lelan-
dina nunc primus edidit Antonius Hall, A. M. Coll.
Reg. Oxon. Socius. Oxonii E Theatro Sheldoniano
MDCCIX." 2 vols. 8vo.
The opportunity to compare the very words of this
eloquent old scholar, who lived within a century and an
half of the two illustrious bards, may be both amusing
and useful.
VOL. II, B Of
Of Godwin's late Life of Chaucer, in two quarto,
(or four octavo,) volumes, the merits and defects have
already been accurately settled. It is much too diffuse
and digressive) and contains little new matter; but still
it is both entertaining and instructive. The severity of
witty and sportive satire has nearly driven it from among
the living records of the press to sleep in dusty corners
beneath the mantle of oblivion. The ingenious biogra-
pher was new to his subject; his eyes were unaccus-
tomed to the ways of hoar antiquity ; but he displays
great labour, comprehensive research, much occasional
eloquence, and powers of criticism of the higher sort.
Mr. Todd's Illustrations are distinguished by that
accuracy and industry of investigation, which have justly
obtained him a high place among our modern antiquaries
and commentators.
" De Joanne Govero.
<{ Joannes Goverus, vir equestris ordinis, ex Stitenharno, *

antesignanus fuerit. Coluit forum & patrias leges, lucri causa 5
* Francis Thynne in his Animadversions on Speight's Chaucer,
(T599) lately published by Mr. Todd, says : " Bale hath mistaken
it, as he hath done infinite things in that book, De Scriptorihus
Angliee, being for the most part the collections of Leland. For
in truth your arms of this Sir John Gower being Argent on a
chevron axure 3 leopards heads, Or, do prove that he came of a con-
trary house from the Goivers of Stitenkam in Yorkshire, who bare
Barrule of argent and gules a cross pattee floree sable. Which diffe-
rence of arms seemeth a difference of families, unless you can
prove that being of one house, they altered their arms upon some
just occasion, as that some of the house marrying an heir did leave
his own arms and bare the arms of his mother, as was accustomed
in times past. But this difference of coats for this cause, or any
other that I could ever yet learn, shall you not find in this family
of Gower: and therefore several houses from the first original.'
Todd, ut supra, p. 23. Mr. Todd, however, has brought forward
some presumptive evidence that the poet was of the Slitenham
family. Yet if the fact of the arms be accurate, Thynne'* reason-
ing is powerful. See Collins's Peerage, II. 44.3, new edition,
(hereafter to be published.)
praeter coetera tamen humaniores literas: multumque in poesi

32 thoughts on "Enroute to Ironman"
Yeah, seen it, too. Though not at that location. I honestly don't feel pumped seeing it like I would for the Speed Racer billboards. Whoever wins, we lose, '08.
Terrible design. For a terrible movie I guess. I'll get excited when the 'Avatar' billboards start going up.
Hey guys, I'm writing a paper for a Literary Criticism class and my thesis is how our culture has developed a need for 'superheroes' in movies since September 11th.
Before 2001, superheroes films were not a big commoditiy and then after 9/11, Spiderman makes a huge splash in summer 2002 and everyone seems to really take comfort in the idea of these superheroes (who were just previously thought to be a little too hokey to make consistent summer blockbusters out of.)
Now of course my thesis is filled with holes, but I was just wondering if anyone wanted to provide any opinions. It would be appreciated.
Can we start a list of superhero films that are currently in talks or pre-production?
Green Lantern
Spiderman 4
Captain America?, The Flash? -
Jeffrey, Batman was a pretty big franchise before 9/11. Superman was pretty big years ago.
Is the superhero phenomenon really due to 9/11 or because of the advances in CG? -
On Pico right next to the Fox Studios. The Hillcrest Country Club across the street was the primary Jewish country club for many years. All the other clubs wouldn't allow Jewish members.
"Before 2001, superheroes films were not a big commoditiy and then after 9/11, Spiderman makes a huge splash in summer 2002 and everyone seems to really take comfort in the idea of these superheroes"
X-MEN in 2000 made superhero films a "big commoditiy." Not 9/11. -
Jeffrey Kunze – fantasy material has definitely been a mainstream hit since 2001, look at the success of Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and on TV, Lost and Heroes.
As for superhero movies there is X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Thor, Punisher: War Zone and Watchmen all in production, as well as possible sequels to Iron Man, Incredible Hulk and Dark Knight if they all show big profits this summer. -
Well it's all a case of how society projects itself onto art and vice versa. Spider-Man was either filming or already in the can when 9/11 happened, so one can't say the resurgence in Superhero chic was just a reaction to 9/11. Ditto the enormous success of Lord of the Rings — again, in the can before 9/11. But it is possible the escapism they delivered did bring people into the theaters — anything to get away from color coded terror warnings and the latest Osama threats. It is still the best explanation of how audiences have turned their backs (to Jeff's chagrin) on the latest spate of Iraq War films — if they want to be depressed they'll stay home.
don't forget COMIC-CON, which was a much a catalyst of the superhero movement as it was a harbinger.
Not to mention the obvious fact that Spider-Man was well into production by the time 9/11 happened.
If you are looking for a list of superhero movies in production, etc. go to Superherohype.com
I'm not sure of this whole "we need heroes now more than ever" idea. The fact that special effects have become better and cheaper has made these movies possible and pretty easy to replicate as a Hollywood formula.
Was Superman: the movie an antidote to Watergate? Not sure, but I think Jaws and Star Wars were to some extent. -
Kunze, it's a workable idea. I can think of an old Prof who would have eaten it up. Best of luck,
It's not that we need them more than ever, really. They are all we have left. The supply of real-world heroes is running thin; replaced by corrupt politicians, drugged up athletes, and "celebrity" whores. All we have left to admire are imaginary people.
Aren't all people in movies, even the corrupt politicians, drugged up athletes and celebrity whores portrayed there, imaginary?
These archetypes have been around forever in the real world. Tea Pot Dome set the precedent for corrupt politicians. (I would have said Tamminy Hall, but I would have misspelled it).
Celebrity whores? Goes back to Cleopatra (who isn't wearing underwear in some of the rare up-skirt hieroglyphics).
Drugged up athletes, at least of the performance enhancing variety are new. Our athlete heroes of yore actually used performance-debilitating drugs (need another beer, Mickey?)
Same story, different day. -
An interesting theory. I always thought that it had more to do with the fact that there hasn't been a good, original, action movie since the first Matrix. No one is any good at coming up with their own ideas so they just copy from something else. It used to be Die Hard on a _____, now its superhero movies.
Not to totally derail your thesis, but when someone says 'we need them more than ever' it gets me thinking.
Were Errol Flynn or John Wayne or Sylvester Stallone any less superheros in their larger than life infallibility than Wolverine or Batman? -
Jeffrey: If you want to be technical, X Men and Blade came out before 9/11. And I'm not sure whether or not audiences will embrace Watchmen. ^_- No, I think if you're going to go for a post-9/11 film trend, how about dumb sitcom-like teen comedies such as "Juno" and "John Tucker Must Die" doing better than dramas such as Elizabethtown and Kingdom of Heaven? It used to be at least there was a market for anything dramatic, but now you've got to turn it into an exploitation flick like Saw or Hostel, or pad it with celebrities like Crash and The Departed, to sell it.
Meegosh: The Matrix is neither good nor original. If you want one that fits the profile, it's Unleashed. -
Terrible design. For a terrible movie I guess. I'll get excited when the 'Avatar' billboards start going up.
Uh-oh Jeffrey. Burma Shave is in agreement with you so your thesis doesn't stand up.
Don't forget, the original teaser trailer for Spider-Man had him apprehending some villains by spinning a web between the Twin Towers. Heath Ledger's death is not the first time an ad campaign had to get changed in a hurry.
Poland just panned it.
Poland also loved Hairspray. -
Jeffrey – There's one particular scene in the first Spiderman that critics were always pointing to as a prime example of "post 9/11 furor," when all the New Yorkers revolt against Green Goblin on the bridge (ex. "If you mess with one of us, you mess with ALL of us!"). My gut tells me this was always in the original shooting script, but if you find out that it was part of a reshoot after 9/11, it would probably give your thesis a good amount of fuel.
Also interesting (if a little off-topic): The original centerpiece of MIB II was going to take place in the World Trade Center. In fact, I believe they had possibly wrapped production prior to 9/11, so everything involving the statue of liberty was a reshoot. Still doesn't quite excuse the god-awful mess that turned out to be… -
So Kevin Costner finally jhas a movie I might be able to tolerate again. The first in a decade, it seems. http://www.themoviebox.net/movies/2008/STUVWXYZ/Swing-Vote/trailer.php
tommysunshine, what the fuck is your problem? I enjoy film, keep my head down, occasionally stay stupid shit. Did you have a dream where I raped you? Or are you mad I haven't. What was your old handle? Seriously, I dont know what the fuck your deal is, but you're one of the creepiest and most obsessive people I've ever had to deal with. Grow up.
I think Bocephus is on to something. Who are the real world heroes we have nowdays? Does the media obsession with celebrity fit into this discussion as well? They aren't our heroes, but our royalty. People who have wealth, fabulous lifestyles…
Good discussion. -
"Good discussion."
It will be if it can stay on topic. -
Jeffrey Kunze – fantasy material has definitely been a mainstream hit since 2001, look at the success of Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and on TV, Lost and Heroes.
As for superhero movies there is X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Thor, Punisher: War Zone and Watchmen all in production, as well as possible sequels to Iron Man, Incredible Hulk and Dark Knight if they all show big profits this summer.
"So Kevin Costner finally jhas a movie I might be able to tolerate again. The first in a decade, it seems."
Open Range came out 5 years ago. It's Costner's best film period. -
DZ, in the last decade Costner has made THIRTEEN DAYS, OPEN RANGE, and THE UPSIDE OF ANGER. You're playing ancient tapes.
Thanks for all the comments.
I recognize this is kind of a half-assed thesis idea, but I'm going to exploit it for all its worth and drink its milkshake anyway. -
I couldn't tell Open Range apart from that Clint film, and I thought Upside of Anger was a Joan Allen vehicle.
really good post Thank you

Debby's Track Uncertain
Even with better than ever technology and forecast models, tracking tropical systems is no easy project. Tropical Storm Debby is a good example. I looked at various models Sunday and they show Debby moving anywhere from the northeast coast of Texas to northeast Florida by Tuesday morning. The current National Hurricane Center gives Debby a track almost due north into the central Florida Panhandle the next few days.
Just to give you any idea of the uncertainty forecasters are facing, look at these various model projections from Sunday for Debby's track.
First the HWRF takes her to just off the southeast Louisiana Coast by 7 a.m. Tuesday. You can spot where it is by the series of black circular lines and letter L in the Gulf of Mexico, along with a bullseye of green and blue. That's the heavy rainfall associated with it.
The next three models, GFDL, NAM, and ECWMF push Debby to a position south of the western Florida Panhandle by Tuesday morning. The NAM is a good 100 miles farther south though.
Finally the GFS model from Sunday morning was showing Debby centered up toward Jacksonville on the northeast side of Florida by Tuesday morning.
It will certainly be interesting to see how this tropical system pans out. One thing the various models have been pretty consistent with is the strength of Debby. Most keep her power limited to a tropical storm or possibly a minimal hurricane briefly. Good luck to all who are in the path. I hope the flooding, surge, and wind is not too bad.

CAF Won't Punish Wakaso For Celebration
Date published: January 29, 2013
Ghana midfielder Mubarak Wakaso is unlikely to be punished by CAF over the words on his T-shirt during his celebration in last week 2013 Africa Cup of Nations match.
Wakaso was booked for displaying a slogan when he lifted up his jersey to reveal "Allah is Great" emblazoned on his T-shirt during the match against Mali on Thursday in Port Elizabeth.
His celebration, when he pulled his team shirt over his face to reveal the words 'Allah is Great!' on a T-shirt underneath, was feared could have more repercussions for Ghana.
But CAF officials at the tournament in South Africa have been reluctant to answer GHANAsoccernet.com questions over the issue as several players in the past have celebrated using religious slogans.
Brazilian star Kaka was pictured in the past to have worn a T-shirt with the words: 'I belong Jesus' which was not published.
South African star Steven Pienaar has also celebrated with a 'God is Great' message emblazoned on his T-shirt during a match but was not punished.
As such CAF could be accused of religious bias if they take action against the Ghana star Wakaso who received a yellow card for the incident.
The yellow card was already his second of the group stage to leave him facing a one-match suspension, although it wasn't clear if it was for pulling off his shirt or for the message underneath.
Either way, FIFA rules also don't allow players to display political or religious slogans on the field.

Twenty-six derelict and abandoned docks were removed from the Salmon Arm portion of Shuswap Lake and the Sicamous area last summer. And up to 16 more could be removed from Mara Lake this fall.
SLIPP — the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process — says the structures create hazards for boaters, impede public access to the shoreline, reduce lake aesthetics and may be damaging fish habitat.
"The removal of abandoned, derelict docks is a win-win idea," Paul Demenok said in a press release.
"Nobody wants to see these abandoned docks creating hazards to navigation and downgrading the aesthetics of beautiful Shuswap Lake, so removing them is a big benefit to everyone," said Demenok, who is SLIPP steering committee chairman and Area C director for the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.
"It's also important to note that this is the only dock removal program involving SLIPP. The semi-waterfront dock issue raised in the summer has absolutely nothing to do with SLIPP."
Derelict and abandoned docks can be reported through the SLIPP website www.slippbc.com.

So, you know I like my meals to be simple, but delicious. Well, this beef stew is a little more work than my usual, but — oh my — is it ever worth it.
Consider this a small labor of love. Yes, it's more time-consuming, but it's actually pretty simple in technique. I promise.
First, you brown the meat to develop its flavor. Then, you braise the beef with some vegetables in a red wine-beef broth mixture. Mmm. Finally, near the end, you add the rest of the chopped vegetables so they keep their character, color and flavor.
This is one hearty beef stew. It is kinda like pot roast in a bowl. You're gonna want seconds because it's so good, but you'll be too full to eat more than one bowl. Sooo yummy.
Enjoy it with some fresh egg bread buns with a little butter and you're set for — like — days.
Since Dustin and I are now expecting our second baby (woohoo!), I was worried about how to substitute for the red wine in this stew because it adds such a good depth of flavor. Thanks to my pal, Alton Brown, I'm just not one of those people who believes all the alcohol gets completely evaporated out during cooking.
But, then I discovered non-alcoholic wine! It's called Fre and it came in Chardonnay, Merlot and White Zinfandel at my local store. It smells like wine and tastes like wine without the alcohol. Plus, it was less than $7 for the bottle. Perfect!
The beauty about this stew is it really gives you back what you give it. I guess most food is like that, huh? What I mean is: the more care you take to brown the meat and follow each step carefully, the more delicious your final result will be. And, believe me, it will be delicious. Perfect for a chilly Fall day.
Hearty Beef Stew
makes about 8 servings
For Step 1:
3 lbs. boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tbsp. olive oil
kosher salt
ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 carrots, unpeeled and quartered
2 celery ribs, quartered
1 medium yellow onion, quartered
10 garlic cloves, split in half
2 tbsp. tomato paste
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 bottle dry red wine (I used Merlot)
1 bay leaf
2 whole fresh thyme sprigs
4 cups beef broth
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Heat oil in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season beef chunks with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Pour flour into a shallow dish and lightly coat the beef with flour. Without crowding the meat, brown in batches, turning to brown all sides. You will have approximately 3-4 batches. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Once all meat is browned, reduce the heat to medium and add the quartered carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Cook approximately 10-15 minutes until well-browned, stirring occasionally.
Add tomato paste to the pot and mix to incorporate. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add balsamic vinegar to the vegetables and stir to incorporate. Cook another 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the wine, bay leaf and thyme. Simmer until liquid is reduced by two thirds, approximately 10-15 minutes.
Add beef broth to the pot, along with the beef (with any residual juices), and bring to a simmer. Cover and braise in the oven until meat is tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
Carefully remove the meat, thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Set beef aside and discard the herbs. Using a stick blender, blend the remaining contents in the pot (if you don't have a stick blender, you can use a food processor or blender). After blended, return the meat to the pot and bring to a boil.
For Step 2:
2 lbs. red or yukon potatoes, unpeeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces
3/4 lb. carrots, unpeeled and sliced diagonally into bite-size slices
7 cremini mushrooms, quartered
Add the potatoes, carrots and mushrooms to the braised beef mixture, taking care to submerge as many vegetables as possible. Simmer, covered, until potatoes and carrots are tender, about 40-60 minutes, stirring occasionally.

I LOVE beef stew and this recipe looks amazing. Will definitely give this a try!
And congrats on your expectant baby!!!
Hi Shari! Thanks for the congrats (and for the tweets!). If you try this stew, I'd love to know what you think. Thanks again!!
I just found your blog on Tasty Kitchen and it's just what I need! So many great, tasty recipes. Keep up all the wonderful inspiration!
Hi Jessica…and welcome! I'm so glad you found my blog too . Hope to see you around and thanks for the support!
Now this looks absolutely, drooly, yummy, good! I'll be making this for an upcoming family visit…your recipes never disappoint and thank you so much for sharing them. …wishing you and your family all the best and congratulations. Zina
This looks like such a hearty stew. Beautiful photos too Lacey. Perfect for the stormy weather we are having today. I will have to file this one away to make for my boyfriend (I'm vegetarian so I might adapt it to make a vegetarian version).
This stew is soooo good in stormy weather! I'd love to know how it turns out for you if you try it sans meat.
Looks very hearty, although i like to add finely diced potatoes at the start, since i dont use flour. (essentially replacing one starch with another)
In future, you could try using the wine to deglaze the pan just after searing the beef, that way you can ensure a thorough reduction. you should add the thyme when you do this, as its shown to prevent harmful chemicals occuring during the process, not to mention the fragrances it'll produce.
Hi John! I like your ideas of using the diced potatoes in the beginning and of using the wine to deglaze the pan. Thanks for sharing!
Your beef stew looks delicious! I love the rich brown color and the chunky vegetables. Beautiful!
Thanks, Betty! Glad you like it
this recipe was great!! made it without the red wine (the liquor store wasn't open), short ribs instead of stew meat, and added some canned le sueur peas at the very end – it was delish! it's all about making it work with what you've got.
it turned out perfectly, so hearty and nourishing.
Hi Eliza! Wow, such interesting substitutions! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for sharing!
OMG, the stew is almost done and I had a small bite of the meat. UNBELIEVABLE – the flavor is so intense. I seriously think that it is the best thing I have ever made. Marched myself into husbands workshop and informed him how lucky he was to have me. LOL.
Thank you for creating and posting this dish. Amazing!!!
Hi Kelley! You're hilarious! I'm so glad you like the stew. It's one of my (and my husband's) favorites to.
Made this last week and just now remembered I didn't comment. I have made many stews over many years, I think this is the most flavorful one I've ever made. Thank you so much, I have kept the recipe and will be making this again and again. It has a great depth of flavors and was even better the next day!
Wow, Susan. I'm so glad the stew turned out well for you and that you will be keeping the recipe — what a compliment
Hearty beef stew sounds really good right now. All this rain makes me want some and some tasty rolls
Yes, it totally sounds delicious..and with some buttered egg bread buns. Mmmm.
I tried this out yesterday. It it by far the best beef stew I'd ever tasted. I let my husband have a bite of meat before it was finished, and he spazzed about it and wanted to just have a plate full of the meat.
I like how flavorful it turned out… a lot of beef soup/stews I've run into, I end up having to put in some 'Better Than Boullion' just to make it not seem terribly bland. This needed no such treatment was AMAZING.
Wow, Erika, thank you so much for your great review. I'm so glad you and your husband enjoyed it!
fantastic lacey – we had this tonite for dinner and both licked our bowls! i added some stewed tomatoe's (because i add them to everything) but otherwise didn't change a thing! perfect!
Hi Kelly! Yay — so glad you guys enjoyed it. Definitely worth the love and energy, huh? I like the addition of stewed tomatoes — maybe I'll try that next time
Hi Lacey, I just stumbled upon your site while looking for good recipes to try out. Absolutely love the vibe of your blog site here. The photos are nicely shot with care & detail to really give each recipe a visual appeal. Simply worded recipe instructions too make it very easy for even novice cooks to understand. I plan on trying a LOT of your recipes & have definitely bookmarked this site & will pass it around to friends; online & in person.
One question I had for this beef stew recipe here: Do you think this would work well too cook in a slow-cooker? And if so, how long would you recommend it to cook in the slow cooker? I just bought a nice big 6-quart slow-cooker & would like to make a large batch of this to share with my parents, as well as my two sisters & their kids .
Can't wait to try out a lot of these recipes. I've found your site to be quite resourceful all around so far.
Hey Bob! I;m so glad you like my blog — thanks for all your great feedback.
Regarding the beef stew, I would recommend cooking it for a good 4-6 hours, assuming you are browning the meat first to give it extra flavor. Unfortunately, this is only a guess, as I'm not as familiar with crock pot recipes…sorry. I hope it turns out for you…I'd love to know how it goes.
Thanks again for your kind words!
I made this a few weeks ago. My husband said "this stew makes me love you even more". SO, thanks for that Sweet Pea Chef! This is an amazing recipe. I had to make a few changes based on items I did and did not have on hand and it turned out phenomenal. We will definitely be making this again before winter is over. I also bought a bottle of that FRE wine and I like! Next time I will use that. I had Sherry cooking wine on hand and that's what I used.
Also, congrats on baby 2. Hope your pregnancy goes well.
Haha, Angie! Gotta love beef-stew-induced-love! Thanks so much for sharing — you put a big smile on my face. Glad you two enjoyed it.
Thanks for the baby wishes as well — we're getting so close!
Hi Lacey, I love this recipe..!
Please tell meause I live in Australia, what is a sweet pea chef..???? it is a mystery to me..
xxx -
This was FABULOUS! We raise beef cattle and have a vineyard so this was a perfect fix for our early Fall days. I mean, the best that I have ever made/tasted. Thank you!
Please come see us! We live in the beautiful mountains in Virginia. We picked grapes all day, today and the weather was cool to accomodate us.
Hi Lacey,
I found your site through Once a month freezer cooking. Do you have freezer directions for this stew? It looks great and I'd like to try prepping it ahead of time… -
I made this yesterday… It is the best beef stew I've had… I was afraid of using so much red wine, so I used less… but it was still soooo flavorful!! I had made beef stew before using the crock pot, but now I can't go back to "that"… this is the only way for beef stew for us! Thank you!
I made this stew today. It's so much different from the usual Louisiana stew made with roux, but it is just as delicious! I had to forego the red wine as I am under age so I substituted a little red wine vinegar and added more beef broth. Absolutely wonderful and perfect for this fall afternoon! Thanks for sharing!
During cold Canadian winters stew is a regular menu item. I just finished eating my Hearty Beef Stew and it was one of the best stew recipes i've made…and I have made many stews! I made a slight modification and left the wine out. I added a little more broth without a problem. It is absolutely delicious and this stew will be served many time this winter.
This looks awesome and yummy. Will be trying it this weekend! Thanks, I'll post and let you know how fast it was eaten!
Hi there, great recipe, without a doubt the best stewed i've made. This ones a keeper Cheers, i'll keep an eye on your blog for recipes in future!
This looks so yummy! I was wondering if it would work being tossed into a slow cooker? If not do you have any hearty beef stew recipes that work with one? mmmmm I want to eat this right now!
Hi Lacey. My husband Austen loved this recipe. Also a Texas boy, he is quite picky. This was his first stew to try and love. I am looking forward to trying your other recipes.
The stew has only been in my oven for an hour and it already smells AMAZING! I can't wait to try it! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Made this today – it did take a long time but, my goodness, it was sooooo worth it! Great flavor, tender meat, wonderful smell. This is getting added to my recipe box as THE beef stew to make! Thanks!
Hi Lacey, This is one amazing stew. I am not a very good cook at all. My kids are always complaining that my food never has any flavor. I have been looking for a stew that is thicker (more like a gravy then soupy) and yours has fit that bill. I followed the directions exactly except with one error. I read the balsamic vinegar wrong and put in a 1/2 cup instead of 1/4 cup but after I noticed it I kept right on going and was hoping it was going to turn out okay. I also added a little bit of celery and some pearl onions during step 2.
It has just finished and my daughter just came down for dinner and she said she was skyping with her BF and she was telling him that I was making something that smells amazing. She tried it and loved it. It turned out perfect although I will put the correct amount of vinegar in next time. The smell of the wine and that much vinegar was just a little much for me. I don't like the smell of wine so that was my problem. This will go in my book under the heading MEALS ALL 4 KIDS LOVE!!! That is one hard thing to do to.
I have been looking for a recipe for Chicken and Biscuits or Chicken and Dumplings with vegetables. Again, we like the thicker sauce (just like this one). Do you happen to know of any or do you have one?
Thank you so much for an amazing meal. Well worth spending most of the day in the kitchen. I am sure once I do it a few times it won't take me as long but I was going very slow and it was well worth it. 5 Star Recipe all the way….
Hi there, I am wanting to make your stew recipe…however I dont have a dutch oven???? Would it all just be stove top then. I have been trying to "come out of my shell" cooking wise and learn new things but I am just not sure how to tackle this…thanks so much.
If you are even thing about making this dish, IT MUST BE DONE. I've made this a few times and people think I'm amazing and ooh and aah over it. Had small gathering for impromptu day after thanksgiving meal last year and now I've been ambushed to make it for the Tanksgiving meal this year. Thank you Lacey for making me look so good!
P.S. homemade cornbread is perfect with this -
I just made this for the second time last night. Love it. I call it the "4 hour stew". Even though it usually takes me about 5 hours from start to finish, I'm really horrible at time management, haha. Thank you for posting this recipe! It is well worth the time. I figured since my family enjoys it so much that I should come back and give you kudos! Delicious.
Cynthia recently posted..So… hey. -
Honestly , I hate beef stew . never liked it . I came across this receipe basically just to use up all the veggies I had in my fridge . Came across your beautiful website and decided to give this recipe a whirl. I did exactly what you said to do in the recipe and I was by far amazing ! Like , so good you get an automatic pass to heaven ! Thank you so much for posting this and I'm telling everyone I know about your website , you have re-introduced me to beef stew in a whole new light , so greatful – Sarah .
Lacey: Another winner!! I made this wonderful stew today. It was AWESOME! Keep up the good work. I love coming here and trying your recipes. XOXOXO
Amazing stew! First time I attempted something this time consuming (usually just BBQ everything), but man oh man was it worth it. Full, hearty, beefy flavor and as filling as you would think it would be. Just great. Thank you for the recipe!
I like your stew……but I can't leave things alone….I have added diced tomatoes, canned beans, corn and 6 bean mix as well as turnip……. And will simmer for 12 hours and add more carrot , potatoe and onion a couple hours before serving. The added veggies gives more body to the stew….like I said…..just can't leave things alone
WOW! Without a doubt the best stew I've ever tasted!
I was a bit apprehensive after reading through the procedure but decided it was worth a try. I used some of my homemade sherry and added 4 stalks of celery, cut in 1″ pieces, in step 2 at my wife's insistence, to her it's not stew without visible celery. I also added several cups of water between steps 1 and 2. Next time I make it I'll add fresh green beans and frozen peas in step 2. You are so right it's worth the effort!
Jerry -
I just made this stew today and it was delicious, the search for the perfect stew is over! I cooked it in my pressure cooker and it all came out great, the meat was so tender! Thank you for the recipe
I have made this stew numerous times and it is wonderful plus it freezes well. It has wonderful flavor and is so worth the effort it takes.
I donot consume alcohol in any form nor do I cook with it. What is a suitable substitute for the Merlot in the Hearty beef soup? Thank you
So, I went straight to the recipe to look at the ingredients before I read your post…..and there it was…non alcoholic choices. But if I don't use those either…what then are good alternatives?

February 8, 2009 Deluded Are the PeacemakersBy Dexter Van Zile
The IDF has withdrawn its troops from the Gaza Strip but the debate over who bears responsibility for the Palestinian deaths caused by Israel's attack on Hamas will continue for the foreseeable future - probably until the next round of fighting.
On an international level, commentators as Christopher Gunness, spokesperson for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinians in the Near East (UNWRA), will maintain that "any military commander would know" that attacks on Hamas in a densely populated area like the Gaza Strip would invariably cause civilian casualties and as a consequence, Israel bears the moral responsibility for the carnage that took place during the fighting. For Gunness, the knowledge that civilian casualties would result from an attack on Hamas is somehow enough to prevent them. Under this rubric, Israel is expected to either come up with another way to stop the rocket attacks, or tolerate them. Sadly, finesse and forbearance can only get a sovereign state so far. Sometimes countries have to use force to protect their citizens. It is a tragic fact of international politics. If Israel were contending with Smurfs and Teletubbies, finesse and forbearance would work just fine. But sadly, Israel is dealing with Hamas, a terror group whose idea of wholesome children's programming is detailing the exploits a Jew-hating knock-off of Mickey Mouse, and a Jew-eating rabbit. On the other side of the debate are those who acknowledge that no sovereign state can tolerate incessant rocket attacks into its territory indefinitely. These people place the blame at the feet of Hamas, an organization that denies Israel's right to exists and which allowed the Gaza Strip to be used as a launching pad for rocket attacks against Israel during the past three years. Most people will understand that Israel tried to avoid harming civilians during the recent fighting while Hamas fought in such a manner so as to cause and invite civilian casualties. Hamas made its strategic and moral choices and Palestinian civilians - who voted Hamas into power in 2006 - suffered the consequences. The problem is not with Israel, but with Hamas. For a while it looked like Louis Michel, the chief of development and humanitarian aid for the European Union, understood this after seeing the carnage in the Gaza Strip, telling reporters that "Hamas has an enormous responsibility for what happened here in Gaza" and that Hamas is a terrorist organization. Predictably, after Hamas leader, Mushir al-Masri, complained about Michel's condemnation asserting that his organization was engaged in legitimate resistance against the "Zionist enemy." Michel later added the obligatory condemnation of Israel. Still, even after Michel's efforts to mollify Hamas, the cat was out of the bag. An EU official departed, however briefly, from the party line and said the truth about Hamas. Criticism of Hamas in the U.S. is much less circumspect. For the many Americans, the math is pretty simple. Leaders who want to promote the well-being of the people they lead do not launch rockets into neighboring territory from densely populated civilian neighborhoods and people who merely want a state of their own do not go about screaming incessantly about destroying somebody else's. Poll data gathered on behalf of the Israel Project by Public Opinion Strategies and Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research indicates that 56 percent of Americans blame the Palestinians for the violence and 66 percent hold Hamas responsible for the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. This message was made pretty clear in a resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on Jan. 9, 2009. The resolution calls on all nations to "to lay blame both for the breaking of the 'calm' and for subsequent civilian casualties in Gaza precisely where blame belongs, that is, on Hamas." No equivocation here. Defying Reality Still, there are some in the U.S. who disagree, especially the people who called for Jews to go back to the ovens, lauded Hitler, accused Israel of perpetrating a "genocide" in the Gaza Strip, and equated the Star of David with the Nazi Swastika during the "peace" protests that took place in late December and early January. These folks, who can politely be called "anti-Zionists" (although "bigots" might be a better word) blame Israel for Hamas' policy of using the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip as human shields. While these protests have helped legitimize public expressions of anti-Semitism in American society, the anti-Zionist's assessments of Israel's guilt and Hamas' innocence are not likely to get much traction in the U.S. (as they have in Europe). One place, however, where they will get hearing and in some instances, logistical and financial support, is in the Christian "peacemaking" community comprised of liberal ("mainline") Protestant and Catholic activists and pacifist groups such as the Mennonites and the Quakers. To be sure, not all of these Christian peacemakers are explicitly anti-Zionist, but some are. And many of those who do accept Israel's right to exist do so only in the abstract. When confronted with Arab and Muslim hostility toward Jews and Israel, many of these peacemakers regard Israel's existence as a Jewish state too much trouble, too inconvenient and ultimately not worth the bother to continue supporting. They express their frustration over the continued existence of the Arab-Israeli conflict by condemning Israel every time it moves to defend its citizens. This tendency was particularly obvious during and after the Second Intifada, when Christian peacemakers excoriated Israel for building a security barrier to stop terror attacks from the West Bank in the first half of this decade. On this score, it was Israeli efforts to protect its civilians - and not terrorist efforts to murder them - that prompted the criticism. The result of this selective outrage, whether Christian peacemakers want to admit or not, is to put the destiny of the Jewish people into the hands of groups that have sworn their destruction. The narrative offered by Christian peacemakers is that Israel's occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (from which Israel withdrew in 2005) is the cause of Palestinian violence. Given the fact that Israel has been attacked from nearly every bit of territory from which it has withdrawn since the 1990s, one is reminded of the warning Protestant Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr offered in 1940 to Christian pacifists who had hoped to keep the U.S. out of World War II: "No religious faith can maintain itself in defiance of the experience which it supposedly interprets."[1] In 1940, Christian pacifists were, in Niebuhr's words, exhibiting a "preference for tyranny" by regarding it as a lesser evil to the force needed to confront it and by embracing illusions about how Nazi Germany could be defeated through the magical application of nonviolent resistance. And so it is with the Christian peacemaker's response to Hamas and Hezbollah. The average person knows full-well that more than a decade's worth of Israeli peace offers, concessions and withdrawals have not led to peace, and yet Christian peacemakers and church leaders continue to defy reality by asserting that the Arab-Israeli conflict will come to an end through Jewish (and Western) concessions and self-reform. It is one thing to ask Christians to accept on faith the reality of the Empty Tomb and the presence of Christ in their midst, but another thing altogether to ask them to accept as a verifiable fact the benign and limited national goals of groups Hamas and Hezbollah. The leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah say they want to destroy Israel, and yet Christian peacemakers propound - with religious fervor and fundamentalist certainty - the notion that Arab and Muslim extremists can be mollified through more benign behavior on the part of the Israelis. When church leaders defy reality by propounding such an obvious falsehood, they undermine their ability profess the religious realities they are ordained to teach. And yet, they continue. A Comforting Story In order to further the false notion that Jewish self-reform will lead to an end to the Arab-Israeli conflict, the leaders and peace activists of these churches need raw material - stories of Palestinian suffering - to offer to their audiences. Like any preacher, they must have stories to tell to get their message across. Sadly enough, the latest round of fighting provides much of this raw material. But for Christian peacemakers in the U.S., whose audiences are likely to regard Hamas as a terror organization, images of dead Palestinian children are not enough because many Americans will hold Hamas - and not Israel - responsible for these deaths. Christian peace activists intent on pointing the finger of blame at Israel need a compelling story to tell to convince church-goers to believe that up is down, and that down is up. And if history is any predictor, pastors and officials from mainline Protestant churches in the United States will look to Palestinian Christians Rev. Dr. Naim Ateek and Jean Zaru for this story. Through their work with Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center, Ateek, an Anglican priest, and Zaru, presiding clerk of the Friends meeting house in Ramallah, have been at the forefront of the Palestinian Christian effort to enlist the time, energy, and money of Christian in the U.S. to broadcast a distorted narrative about the Arab-Israeli conflict to the American people. The story Ateek and Zaru offer is similar to what Christian peacemakers in the U.S. have been offering for years: Israel is in control of the violence and hostility directed at it by extremists in the Middle East and can therefore bring a unilateral end to the Arab-Israeli conflict through some combination of negotiations, peace offers, concessions and withdrawals. The fact that this narrative has been debunked by Arafat's failure to make a counter-offer at Camp David in 2000 and an increase in rocket attacks after Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005 is not a problem for these authors. They do not rely on factual historical analysis but identity politics to make their case. Luckily enough for Christian peacemakers in the U.S., Ateek and Zaru, have recently authored books that, in the aftermath of the fighting in the Gaza Strip, will surely be included in reading lists for Christian "peacemaking" delegations to "Palestine-Israel." Seminary professors will include them in their syllabi. The texts will be described by denominational presidents as "invaluable" and "important" in helping people "move beyond the headlines." The irony is these books do no such thing. Instead of helping would-be peacemakers get beyond the headlines, Ateek and Zaru give their readers pretext to ignore them. Zaru begins her text, Occupied with Nonviolence: A Palestinian Woman Speaks (FortressPress, 2008), by invoking her identity as a Christian pacifist to establish her credibility to the reader. Zaru affirms that she is "A Palestinian, a Palestinian woman, a Palestinian Christian woman, and also ... a Quaker and a pacifist. Identity is always complex." Zaru's personal identity may be "complex" but it is also largely irrelevant. Yes, Zaru is a Christian pacifist who renounces violence. So what? Many of Zaru's fellow Palestinians, most notably the members of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Al-Aska Martyrs Brigade have been quite willing to kill people in their ongoing war against Israel. These groups killed more than 1,000 Israelis during the Second Intifada and helped destroy the credibility of the Israeli peace movement in the process. Honest commentators would address the ideology that motivates these groups, but Zaru does not. Instead, she characterizes terrorism perpetrated against Israel as "freelance" acts of violence motivated by despair and hopelessness. Who are we to believe? Zaru the Christian pacifist, or the Palestinian terrorists who state quite openly they want to kill Jews and destroy Israel because their ideology demands it? Can Zaru at least give members of Hamas the right of self-definition that she demands for herself from Western audiences? In his text, A Palestinian Christian Cry for Reconciliation (Orbis, 2008), Ateek offers a similar explanation for Palestinian violence - hopelessness, despair and anger over Israeli oppression. Such arguments are child's play for Ateek, whose real charism is to portray the Israeli Jews as unable to make peace with the Palestinians because of their insistence on remaining a sovereign people which he argues is rooted in both a hostile interpretation of their own scripture and a overwrought reaction to the Holocaust. Ateek writes that "Israel must transform Zionism" and if Zionism cannot be transformed, "it must be abandoned" because "its 'ingredients' of violence, war, conflict, deception, terrorism, and expulsion can never add up to peacemaking." The extent Ateek is willing to go to demonize Israel becomes evident when he tells his readers that the "belief that Palestinians are worth less than Jews, hidden in the hearts of some Zionists, began to be put into practice over time. It has been a slow and creeping genocide." Ateek's assertion that Israel has perpetrated a "slow and creeping genocide" is libelous, contemptible and chimerical. The population of Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip has quadrupled over the past 60 years. The modifiers "slow and creeping" do not make Ateek's accusation any less dishonest. The only evidence Ateek can muster to prove the existence of this "genocide" is a photo of a dog attacking a Palestinian woman that appeared in the front page of Al-Quds newspaper in March 2007. Ateek writes, "For many years, Israel refused to use trained dogs against the Palestinians because it brought to mind the Nazis. Now Israel uses dogs to attack Palestinians." Such is the basis for Ateek's accusation of genocide - the modern-day equivalent of the blood libel - Israel's use of attack dogs. By way of comparison, Ateek portrays the Palestinian cause as if it is motivated only by a desire for statehood and liberation. This may be true for many - even a majority of Palestinians - but what about Hamas - which tried to derail the Oslo Accords with numerous terror attacks, murdered hundreds of Israelis during the Second Intifada and failed to stop rocket attacks against Israel after taking control of the Gaza Strip in 2006? Has Ateek stood up to the leaders of Hamas for thwarting the will of the Palestinian people? Hardly. Yes, Ateek does condemn suicide bombing, in English, to audiences of Congregationalists, Presbyterians and Episcopalians in the U.S. - groups not known for their propensity to launch terror attacks in the Middle East, but his influence on Palestinians who perpetrate acts of violence against Israel is nil. That Ateek and Zaru call themselves peacemakers should not distract readers from an unpleasant reality. Their books will not encourage Palestinians to stop killing Israelis (and each other), but will instead justify, to Western audiences, the next round of Arab and Muslim violence against Israel - all in the language of human rights and liberation theology. On this score, Ateek and Zaru's books are not unique, but part of a long line of texts, produced for and by Christian peacemakers in the U.S., that portray Jewish sovereignty as the cause of the violence in the Middle East and Jewish self-reform and abasement as a way to bringing it to an end. Someday, when Christian leaders and intellectuals recover their senses, they will regard with shame the number of authors who have profited from this genre. The appeal of Ateek and Zaru's books is rooted in the comforting narrative they offer. Given the circumstances of Arab and Israeli societies, predicating the end of the Arab-Israeli conflict on Jewish self-reform is the much more "hopeful" narrative than expecting Israel's adversaries to come to their senses. Sadly, under current conditions, feeding the unreasonable hopes for peace in the Middle East requires starving readers of the truth. If peace could come through Jewish self-reform and abasement, peace would have arrived a long time ago. But alas, history has shown the limits to what Jewish self-reform can accomplish, revealing that the problem resides not with the Jews, but in the hearts and of those who would kill them. Ateek and Zaru, like the audience of Christian peacemakers they serve, have no stomach for discerning the habits of Muslim and Arab hearts in the Middle East, where genocidal, anti-Semitic images are broadcast regularly on state television and in official newspapers. On this score, Christian peacemakers are doing what pacifists have always done - avert their eyes from those aspects of reality would force them to come to grips with human sin in a meaningful manner. Progressive peace activists averted their eyes before and during World War II by downplaying Hitler's misdeeds, exaggerating the evils of Western society, and responding to Jewish fears over threats to their safety with disdain and contempt - all in the hopes of promoting "peace." Ultimately, Ateek and Zaru's texts underscore a sad truth about Christian peacemaking in reference to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Combine the one-sided narrative about the conflict offered by Israel's critics in the Middle East with notions of peacemaking and pacifism formulated in the comfort and safety of North America and you have a weapon to de-legitimize and disarm the Jewish state.

Bullying is a serious problem for people with Asperger Syndrome (AS), both at school and in the workplace, and displaying "different" behavior, such as not understanding social rules or hand-flapping, exacerbates the risk of being victimized.
Writing in an accessible, informal style, the author describes the bullying behavior he and other individuals have experienced, and the effect this has had on their lives. He outlines the reasons for bullying behavior and the danger of persistent recurrence if it remains unchecked, as well as the critical importance of "involving the bystander". Nick Dubin goes on to provide a range of effective strategies to address bullies and bullying that can be applied by parents, professionals, schools, and individuals being bullied. He stresses the importance of peer intervention, empathetic teachers, and verbal self-defense, and shows how lack of support, condemning of "tale telling," or even blaming the victim reinforces bullying.
This book offers individuals with AS who are being bullied the opportunity to see that they are not alone, and it is an invaluable source of advice for parents, teachers, professionals and personnel managers.

71,000 miles on our 2004 Range Rover. We've had it 3 years, no major complaints, minor things like stuck cup holders. We must have gotten a good one. Fuel economy 15.8 average, not bad for a V8. Excellent comfort, heated everything including windshield (no more scraping ice) ride quality excellent. Took it to Alaska for a year in frigid temps and unpredictable terrain, performed flawlessly. Never slipped, got stuck, not even a hint of hesitation starting. 2004 engine built by BMW, and it shows. Easy in and out with kids, carseats, and gear. 110lb german shepherd LOVES the huge cargo area with factory built in gate. Will be buying a new one very soon. Very Impressed....read morehide

Purchased As New
I love my RR. I bought it new in 2004, and it now has 87,986 miles on it. Never had one issue. Never. It is just a thrill to drive. You actually want to take long road tips in this car. I never get tired of looking at it. As long as you take care of it, and change the oil, you should not have a problem. Even though it is a big SUV, it is very easy to drive, the view you have as a driver is very good. The interior is great! The exterior is just magnificent! I live in Santa Fe, and I take it to the ski slopes, over thick snow and ice, and it performs better than any other SUV I have driven. On the road, the cabin is quiet, and the audio system is great, very good quality. The upgraded interior is nice. I have also put on the land rover brush guard and the mud flaps. They both are quality land rover pieces. Overall, I am very happy....read morehide
