It took over an hour of football before Arsenal broke the deadlock, though the Gunners have seen off a stubborn Marseille team 2-1 at the Stade Vélodrome. The hosts were the better of the two teams for much of the match, though Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey netted twice in the second half to ensure Jordan Ayew's stoppage time penalty was nothing more than a consolation goal.
Marseille had the first opportunity of the match inside the opening couple of minutes, when Jérémy Morel's cross from the left was flicked goalwards by André-Pierre Gignac, only for the ball to be comfortably caught by Wojciech Szczęsny. Arsenal responded with a chance of their own, with Aaron Ramsey picking out Theo Walcott's run in behind the Marseille left-back Morel. However, the winger's shot didn't challenge Steve Mandanda, who also made a comfortable save.
The hosts were in the ascendency for much of the first half, with Mathieu Valbuena looping a shot over the bar from outside the box before André Ayew's excellent header from inside the area went narrowly wide of Szczęsny's far post. Arsenal struggled under the impressive pressing from Élie Baup's team, and couldn't exert much control over possession.
Arguably the best opportunity of the first half came with just over five minutes remaining, after Gignac beat Ramsey to a corner before heading just wide. The big striker was causing problems, and almost met a great through ball from Giannelli Imbula inside the box on the stroke of the halftime whistle, though Szczęsny was off his line quickly to pluck the ball out of the air and ensure the game was goalless at the break.
Marseille picked up where they had left off, and almost opened the scoring through full-back Rod Fanni a few minutes after the restart. Alaixys Romao's lay-off found the French international, though on the half-volley he fired narrowly wide of Szczęsny's goal. The Gunners replied with their best chance of the match a few minutes later, when Özil's backheel found the onrushing Kieran Gibbs in the area. His shot toward the top corner forced a great save from Mandanda, and the scores stayed level.
However, the tempo of the match suggested it wouldn't stay that way for much longer. Jack Wilshere had one of the best chances of the match from close range short of the hour, though Mandanda made an impressive save at his near post to deny the midfielder. The game had opened out completely, and Per Mertesacker almost looped the ball over Szczęsny and into his own goal seconds later, though a Gibbs' goalline clearance spared the German's blushes.
Finally the deadlock was broken 20 minutes into the second half, after a deep cross from the left was terribly dealt with by Morel. The full-back attempted to head the ball away, though scooped it back over himself and straight to a free Walcott at the far post. He caught the ball sweetly on the volley, and rocket the effort into the top corner from close range.
Marseille forced a couple of saves from Szczęsny from distance before Olivier Giroud and Özil both missed good chances to seal the points for the visitors. The Gunners did eventually ensure victory after Ramsey burst through the defense and rifled the ball into the bottom corner with five minutes of normal time remaining.
They didn't make life easy for themselves, conceding a penalty which was scored by Jordan Ayew in stoppage time, though they held on for a narrow victory. It wasn't a wholly convincing performance from Arsène Wenger's side, though they'll be delighted to already have three points on the board.

Police are investigating after 5-month-old twins, Julian and Giselle Romero, were found dead Thursday morning in their Southwest Side Little Village neighborhood home.
The twin infants were found unresponsive in a home in the 4100 block of West 25th Street about 9:30 a.m., according to police News Affairs Officer Veejay Zala.
The father of the twin boy and girl said neither he nor his wife knows what caused their deaths.
An emotional Josue Romero said Thursday afternoon that his wife discovered the lifeless twins — born Nov. 17 — in a crib they shared in the living room in the 4100 block of West 25th Street about 8:30 a.m.
"She was just laying there and just crying and I told her, 'What happened?' and she told me the babies, the babies and I checked, I was going to go to the crib where I thought they were and she told me no, they were in the bed but you don't want to see," said Romero.
Romero said he had left the home earlier in the morning to take older children to daycare when his wife went to check on the babies, Juian and Giselle Romero.
When he returned, he saw his wife distraught over the deaths of the infants.
Romero said his wife is a loving mother. He said he knew of no health problems the twins suffered. Although they were born premature, they were both getting chubby, he said.
"I don't want to point fingers. I know my wife. My wife is very caring; she loved my kids to death. She loved my kids, which were somebody else's; she took them like they were her own," Romero said.
He said there was a thick blanket in the crib at the time of their deaths.
The Illinois Department of Children & Family Services is investigating allegations of neglect against the mother and father over the twins' deaths, spokesman Jimmie Whitelow said Thursday afternoon.
DCFS also investigated the family based on allegations of abuse and neglect against the biological father and an uncle in March 2011, Whitelow said. That case remains open and DCFS has been providing support services to "strengthen the family" since June 2011.
"It was an accident. They do take care of the kids well," said the babies' aunt Ana Romero.
Police said they were investigating the possibility that both twins died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, but an autopsy was not expected to be performed until Friday.
Area Central detectives are conducting a death investigation. Autopsies are expected to be performed on Friday.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

Veronica Mars
Episode Report CardGrade It Now!
RT: Oh, they've treated us great. In fact, Gillian Flynn [the EW reviewer in question -- CB] has put us on their Top Ten list in the past. CB: Right. So that must have been very disquieting. RT: It was. It really bummed me out. CB: So, talking about the serial-rape arc: when you thought about it, I'd guess you were aware that it was a potential minefield. How did you weigh the pros and cons of doing that arc? RT: Well, I suppose there's part of me that doesn't quite understand where the line is between sending seven kids off a cliff in a bus and, you know, a serial rapist who drugs his victims and doesn't, say beat up women -- why one is okay fodder for television and one's not. You know, I don't actually think it's the serial rapes -- I think we've taken the most heat for how people perceive the Lilith House women. CB: Well, that's my next question, so let's talk about that. Some people think that the depiction suggested that you see women negatively -- as shrill and humorless, among other things. RT: You know, I'm remarkably defensive about this -- it gets under my skin like no other criticism. I'm the person who created Veronica. Veronica's far from perfect, but find me a better feminist role model on television, particularly for adolescent girls. I mean, it's sort of a theory I have on writing television -- to use the audience's television expectations against them. In other words, the way I set up a surprise that works is to think about the way that television treats its viewers that we are accustomed to. If you see the person doing A here, then he can't do B later. What would be a good example... CB: Well, I can think of one, only because I remember commenting on it in my recap -- in "The Girl Next Door," where you have the missing girl's boyfriend, and he's seen outside smoking. On TV, smoking is evil, so you're led to think he did it when he didn't. RT: I mean...that is a great example. There are larger examples -- it's almost like whatever cliché you've seen, whether it's the limp that's going to disappear, the indicator that makes the audience say, "Aha! I know this storyline, I've seen this storyline," and then [you want] to trip them up based on expectations. It's...in that sense, the idea that Claire would fake a rape, it's something that feminists...it's a protected group, like, despite what Gillian Flynn wrote about frat boys in that review, I don't really believe anyone is really upset about our depiction of frat boys. Certainly no one was up in arms over our depiction of the 09ers. I never heard comments like, "Are we supposed to believe all rich white kids are like this?" If rich kids are depicted [in a way that's] less than savory, that's one thing, but to have someone who has a lefty political bent, that's someone who's typically protected, and it trips the audience up, and I was going for that. My politics are certainly pretty far left, but I don't have sacred cows. No one comes off clean on the other side of a noir universe. I really believed, and apparently believed wrongly for a number of people, that I had enough of a feminist cachet in my lead character and in the whole foundation of the series. And I actually don't dislike those women; certainly I think what Claire did in faking the rape is wrong -- in fact, incredibly wrong -- but it certainly gives Veronica that opportunity to say "You're wrong, and you know you're wrong." Veronica's the voice of the show. And I also really like the backstory of the Lilith House women, this girl who gets hazed in a rush and walks off the roof of the sorority house, and her friends are out for revenge. It feels like an action that Veronica might take: Veronica clearly wouldn't fake a rape, but she would go blindly in seeking justice.

(WMC) - Ideas are being discussed in an effort to slow the "Blue Flu" and "Red Rash" outbreaks as more than 400 Memphis police officers and 68 firefighters called out sick Friday.
City and union leaders are tossing around the idea of a half-cent sales tax hike as the possible solution to the issue.
"I wanna make it clear. I want the officers and the firefighters back at work," said Memphis Mayor A C Wharton. "We're not going to slap anything down. That would be hypocritical to what we said earlier. So, I hear it's out there. This is not the point for us to start taking positions on it."
Wharton says his administration is still collecting ideas.
Memphis City Councilman Kemp Conrad says anything short of health care reform may not be enough.
When asked whether a half-cent increase in sales tax would make the problem go away, Conrad responded, "No, first of all, I don't think people would vote for that. If they did, that's $50 million. That's half the issue."
It's an issue that is far from resolved as hundreds of public safety employees remain out sick.
"There are no easy alternatives here, none whatsoever," Wharton added.
Many people around Memphis are in support of the police officers and firefighters.
"We do need the police and firefighters," Memphis resident Delia C. said.
People are voicing their opinions from Main Street to South Memphis.
"These folks jeopardize their lives," said Orlandus Phillips. "I support them 100 percent."
The potential plan involving a sales tax hike is a tough one for some people to swallow.
"I would hate for the sales tax to go up," said Porsha Goodman. "I already pay enough as it is."
But others say they would pay up at the cash register as long as it gave public safety employees at least part of what they want.
"I pay taxes. If you got to pay a few more pennies in order for them to keep pensions and get a pay raise now and then, I don't see no problem with it," suggested Hugh Briggs. "I wish I had enough money to settle the whole thing."
"They have a right to have their insurance and if the taxpayer has to pay an extra half-cent, so be it, because the city have to go on, we got to have some protection," Thelma Richard added.
Any sales tax hike must be approved by referendum. Opponents say even if it did have the votes, it would not solve the whole problem.

1.78/5 rDev -43.3%
Pours the usual amber IPA hue with light bubbles. No lacing, hardly any head after the pour, and none after sipping. Cheap smelling aroma of malt and hops. No bitter aroma. Smells like bread that might be moldy. The taste is just as cheap as the smell. Old hops, bad bitterness. The kind of bitterness that probably isn't coming from good hops or just good beer in general. One of the worst tasting IPA's I've had so far.

1.9/5 rDev -39.5%
Appearance - a slightly hazed orange/yellow. I'm using the new Sam Adams glass and the beer is yellower down low and has more orange tint in the bowl area above. A fat three fingers of foam takes a while to subside so I can pour in the rest. A little sediment at the end, no problem. The head has a dry clump in the middle and a thick meringue of lace around the glass.
Aroma - intensely piny to the point where it smells pretty much like mint leaves. Herbal and grassy, a fine aroma.
Taste - a great start absolutely ruined. The hops are there, but as with the Four Horsemen I had previously, there is something *up* with this beer. An unpleasant sourness that bespeaks some sort of defect. Some metal to go along with doesn't help either. Not one drainpour in 800 reviews and now 2 in one week, go figure. The hops are covering some of the bad flavor, but I keenly remember it from the 4H. Enough.
Mouthfeel - the feel has the beginning of some smoothness there, carbonation level isn't half bad.
Drinkability - I'm getting gun shy towards this brewery. I'm beginning to wonder if all their beers have this sour taste to them. The chances of me trying this on tap are slim due to availability, so this one's a one and permanently done for me.

1.95/5 rDev -37.9%
Thanks to Lucas for this one. Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a Sam Adams perfect pint.
A: Vigorous pour barely yields a .5 finger coarse white head that dissipates quickly into a thin layer of film. Beer is a mostly-clear orange. Lacing is spotty and near non-existant.
S: Nose is sweet apricot, a slight bit of brown sugar, and cane sugar. Very subtle, appropriately sweet, but fresh hop character is noticeably missing.
T: Opens uncharacteristically sweet. Brown sugar, caramel, and all the slightly subtle barleywine flavors that I'm not supposed to get in an IPA. No hop and no citrus. Slightly spicy towards the middle with a unpleasant medicinal quality. Finish is overly messy with the hop bitterness finally all coming in, in one fell swoop that lingers aggressively on the palate. Overly bitter with no citrus to balance it out.
M: Light to medium bodied, carbonated, but not overly coarse. Actually one of the smoother IPAs with a dulled down, unlively body. Finish kills me here with an overly bitter, not hop bitter mind you, aftertaste that is very messy and lingers on and on.
D: Pass on this one. I can deal with a nose and taste that is uncharacteristic of an IPA... after all, that's what innovation is all about isn't it? However, the finish and subsequent aftertaste brings me back to when I was 3 and I didn't know how to swallow cold medication so I decided to chew it instead. Unbearably bitter...

Since I frequent the liquor store where I bought this beer, I am fairly certain it was fresh. That is a pity, because if this beer were ancient and light-struck I could understand it tasting the way it does.
You know how some IPAs take a bit like an old sock? Not enough to really ruin the beer, but some hops in combination really have that gym-sock taste to them. Goose Island IPA comes to mind as an IPA with a hint of gym-sock to it. Well, this IPA is overpoweringly gym-socky. Really knock-you-over-the-head sweaty sock.
The nose smells like my foot, the beer tastes like my foot.
Which is really a pity, because the malt profile on this beer is very well balanced with the hop bitterness.
Yeah, wow, it was work to finish just one of these.

A- An ever so slightly hazy light golden color. The head is modest in size, but has pretty good retention. There are no streams of carbonation.
S- Smells kind of sweet and carmely, but there are some sour notes in there as well. A little bit of honey and vanilla are picked up as well, but this smells a little weak for the style.
T- Same as the aroma. Sadly, it's a little boring... with just a smack of bitterness.
M- Not bad. Just a bit on the dry side.
D- Well, this is just not my thing I guess. In a country full of IPA's, this one does not really stand out in the slightest.

I was given this beer by a generous friend.
Poured from the bottle into a pint glass, beer is a slightly murky, amber-orange color with a thin, yet firm cream colored head. The smell is actually a little buttery, skunked perhaps? I know there's hops in the smell but I can't quite put my finger on them with all the funk going on. The taste isn't a whole lot better, an initial staleness that transitions into a bitter skunky finish that lingers with bitterness. The mouthfeel is light in body with adequate carbonation and a dry finish. Overall drinkability suffers due to the condition of the beer but perhaps better onsite?

2.6/5 rDev -17.2%
(Served in a high ball glass)
A- This beer pours a lightly hazy orange body with a mousy off-white head that last for a minute and fades to a thin film. There is a good carbonation of big bubbles that race to the surface.
S- This beer has a musty hint to the green citrusy hops that cover the hint of pale malt in the background.
T- There is a light slightly sweet light toasted malt hint that is soon covered by the big taste of orange juice flavor which fades into bitter pungent hops. The finish hops have a light pine note that lingers for just a bit. As this beer warms there are notes of orange cough drops and orange suckers and tart orange zest in the hops flavors.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel.
D- When this beer is really cold it has a much milder citrus flavor and the malts come through a bit. After the first few sips you can tell orange cascade hops are the major star of this show. The orange flavor even overpowers the bitterness or any other flavor of the hops.

2.6/5 rDev -17.2%
Appearance: Pours a very light amber body with a full, fizzy-looking white head.
Smell: Aroma of weak caramel malts and musty grains with a dry grassy scent.
Taste: An all too brief caramel sweetness that flashes to a sharp citrus hop flavor and ends with a bitter, lightly acidic finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Unpleasantly fizzy.
Drinkability: Calling it an average IPA would be a bit of an overstatement. Could greatly benefit from a fuller, more refined palate and far, far less carbonation.

12 oz bottle. No freshness date. Bought this from the Hop Shop in Indy (baught almost a case of single IPA's that I had never tried)
Appearance : Beer pours a cloudy amber color. A very carefull pour was required to keep the head down to 2 fingers. No real lacing to speak of.
Not much jumps out in the aroma. Some piney hops, some carmel.
Balanced Carmel / hops with an unpleasant bitterness to the finish.
Mouthfeel : medium body, didn't have the prickliness I'd expect from an IPA
Drinkability: Not something I would drink by itself. Improved when paired with a Cheese Pizza ;-) I don't see this one in my fridge again

Pours a hazy orange-ish/ copper color, with an off white head. In the aroma, small hops and a caramel note. In the taste, small hops and a caramel malt. A small bitter and a medium mouthfeel, with a sticky sweet caramel aftertaste. Quite sweet and small hop presence, maybe a pale ale, but I don't think I would call it a IPA.

Lighter in color than other IPA's I've had. Not much nose as well. Fruity taste but lacking the huge bold bite of a IPA. Not as good as their pale ale. This beer just did not put everything together.

One on Mishawaka Brewing Company's standard offerings. This beer has a medium hop aroma with a little bit of malt in support. Served with no head. Light copper with some yellowish highlights. Grassy and floral. No real malt flavor. Kind of disappointing

12oz to tulip glass, pours a nice orangey hazy peach shade, cream colored head fades
smells... WEIRD! i've never smelled a beer like this, i have no idea what they blended, maybe heavy on the malts, comes off offensive smelling, vomit? meat casserole? not sure, but not a winner in the nose for an ipa - i dont really dislike the scent, i'm just completely taken aback by it.
taste is kinda heavy for an ipa, astringent bitter hops linger on, heavy malts, biscuity, caramel, citrus peel, good carbonation, grassy, pine, not bad
mouthfeel is of a good weight, hop resins stick around in your mouth and leave a dry finish, not bad!

On tap at Mishawaka. Served in a pint glass. This beer poured an amber color with a very small beige head that left some faint lacing. Aromas were pine and light citrus. The flavor was fairly light and balanced, with notes of grapefruit. This beer was medium bodied, leaving behind a very quick bitter finish. A middle of the road IPA.

22oz bottle poured into a pint glass. No best by, brewed on, or bottled on date.
A- Poured an lightish hazy orange with a vigorous pour resulting in a finger worth of white head. Head dissipated into a thin covering. Moderate lacing on the glass.
S- I was befuddled by what I was smelling. There wasn't a hop presents at the beginning but a ever so faint citrus smell came through towards the end. It was almost like a fresh orange had been chopped up two rooms away. A heavy burnt multigrain bread smell persisted throughout. By no means offensive smelling: couldn't figure out what I was smelling till the end of the drink.
T- Malt forward. The multigrain smell is tasted at the front. The end has a hint of bitterness. Absolutely no lingering tastes. Tasted better than the smell lead me to believe.
M- Medium body with moderate carbonation. Nothing crazy happens to the palate, nor anything at all. Extremely easy drinker.
O- It is an easy drinker. Not much flavor, but nothing that makes it hard to drink. It is a beer that I will give to my BMC drinking friends as a possible gateway. I could drink a couple of these without problem, but not one that I will seek on a weekly basis.

12 oz bottle. This one pours a very deep copper to almost amber color. There is a finger of ivory head that falls to a solid coating over top of the brew. There is a nice cascaed of bubbles coming to the surface of teh very clear brew as well. Good looker here. The aroms is saturated wtih a deep caramel sweetness with a moderate piney hop melding with the sweetness. I think the caramel is a bit strong, and a litle unbalanced by the hop. Flavors brings a moderate caramel sweetness and a mild piney hop that fades into a mild bitterness. Everything about the flavor is mild. Nothing wants to jump up and hit my taste buds. Too bad. Mouthfeel is moderate with a very weak carbonation. Looks like this one outgased itself when poured. Overall, this one is just okay. It lacks anything that would get me to go back to it.

Poured from the bottle a hazy yellow gold with a foamy white head.
Sweet, heavy aroma of malts, brown sugar, butterscotch, and light hops.
The taste is heavy on the malt side with just a subtle hint of hops. Aftertaste of brown sugar, butter, and a lingering bitterness.
Light bodied and moderately carbonated.
I would have like to have had a bit more hop presence in this one. The balance heavily skewed to the the malty side.

22oz bomber, obtained from the brewery pre-UCLA game a few weeks ago
appearance: pours into a ND soccer pint glass by coincidence only, body is slightly clear/slightly hazy...pale golden-bronze, light white foam with decent lacing...color is a little off
smell: aroma is of lightly metallic hops, light citrus, bready/doughy malt, the infamous "mishawaka characteristic"
taste: the mishawaka characteristic comes through again...it must be something about the hops they use that produces an odd metallic taste i have only come across in their beers...hops are a touch fruity, a touch plastic? I'll drink it but i dont necessarily have to like it
mouthfeel: medium body, foamy coating
drinkability: alright

Lighter than average orange color with good clarity, good lacing, and a light head that disappears quickly.
Very full smell, resiny, sweet, and citrusy. A little cloying but still a good smell.
Sweet and citrusy flavor with bubblegum. Not enough malt to balance the hops. Lighter than medium body with an oily slickness.
An interesting IPA but probably not one I'll seek out again.
Tasted on 8/1/08.

Another new Midwest offering for me and a nice session able style taboot! This one was served cold and poured into a pint glass and enjoyed on 02/13/2010.
The pour was pretty good, a solid look for an IPA. Dark amber in color and very clear. A nice solid head of white rose up from the top of the glass and settled down with ease. Rich lacing coating the sides and the bottom of the glass as it went down. Aroma was light and not as strong as I would have hoped, but as it warmed became stronger and even more pronounced. Well balanced with a biscuity malt and a rich citrus hop note that seemed to balance themselves quite nicely. Started off slow again as I took the first sip. A touch to malty at first, but again it seemed to grow on me as the session went on. Nice buttery flavors, hints of citrus and al light, but dry finish seemed to cap it off pretty well.
Overall a decent IPA. Better then average but won't stand out in a crowd. Still would try it again one day though.

On-tap at the brewery, probably the most IPA-ish offering they had on-tap at the time.
A= rich color, foamy head that laced, I've seen better but this was fairly nice.
S= evident grapefruit (Chinook?) hops and florals.
T= very tangy and lots of up-front grapefruity Chinoook hops and others including Cascade. Bold, a bit unbalanced by the over-abundance of the grapefruit for my preferences, however.
M= very hoppy.
D= as much strong-hops as you can tolerate.

Pours a fizzy, slightly hazy golden orange, with a huge white head that lasts a very long time.
Smell is huge hops, a little sweat sock-y, maybe slightly old, but quite enjoyable.
Taste is just like the smell, hugely bitter with a sweet, buttery quality. A little different, but good.
Mouthfeel is very good, thick and resiny to help out the hops.
Drinkability isn't bad, but the bitterness is definitely there.
Overall, I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised.

The state of Florida reached a partial settlement with a coalition of civil rights groups who sued alleging that Gov. Rick Scott's (R) failed voter purge discriminated against minority voters. Under the agreement, the state agrees to restore to the rolls any voter it identified as "potential non-citizen" unless the local elections official can confirm that with a U.S. Department of Homeland Security database, to guarantee that no one will be forced to vote by provisional ballot simply because his or her name appeared on that "potential non-citizens" list, and that all registered voters who received purge letters will be mailed a note "informing them that they are indeed registered to vote," unless they have been confirmed to be a non-citizen. The partial settlement does not address the groups' claims that the state's purge illegally came within 90 days of a federal election.

Launched in a former Lyons tea house, marble-walled Club Gascon is now an 'establishment' name in foodie circles – it's got the requisite Michelin star and an alpha chef, but it hasn't lost its culinary 'edge'. Toulouse-born Pascal Aussignac's creativity gives rise to some of the most original French cooking around. Nowadays, look to glazed black cod on burnt pebble with verjuice and crunchy grapes, BBQ quail on embers with summer roots, fruits and spicy violets, or black olive and chocolate 'millionaire' with thyme ice cream to discover where the chef's native Gascony meets the modern world. It's a thrilling journey, even with the set-lunch route (superb value at £25); otherwise the monthly tasting menu and wilder reaches of the carte always reveal new pleasures, despite the odd culinary misfire. The wine list is almost exclusively southern French, but endlessly fascinating.
Pascal is finally back from France and to celebrate we went to supper with our gorgeous friends Jacci and Tony. Tony chose the restaurant Club Gascon - he had wanted to take Pascal there for ages - it was very adventurous for us as it is the other side of London in between the Barbican and Smithfield Market. According to the website, the restaurant specialises in imaginative cuisine from the South West of France and the chef Pascal (not my one) is from Toulouse.I had obviously checked out the menu online and looked at the photos on food spotting and was excited - everything looked so pretty! The menu was different (menu) - it is split into 5 different sections: La Route du Sel, Le Potager, Le Canard, L'Oceane and Les Paturages. This allows diners to enjoy as many different flavours as they wish. There is also a tasting menu.The menu is small and smart with plenty of waiting staff however the service was a bit of a let down. Considering the restaurant has had a Michelin star since 2002, I was expecting more. The food however was delicious (mostly).We had an amuse bouche of beetroot soup, a truffled scallop and some crisp puffs. A bit of a bizarre combination - the crisps and scallop were good, although the scallop was the size of a smartie but I was not a fan of the beetroot plus the colour was off putting - a bit too Harry Potter. It was nicely presented, just not my cup of tea.I had the 'Ambre Tulip "Quinoto" with Truffled Pumpkin Pulp. This was amazing - so fresh and flavoursome, I could have had this for main as well. I can't describe how mouth wateringly good this was.I did have severe food envy of Jacci and Pascal's 'Truffle Terrine & Macaroon'. This was the best terrine I have ever had, and whilst it sounds strange the truffle macaroon worked perfectly. It was INCREDIBLE!Tony had the 'Rose Carpaccio, Mulled Wine & Crispy Gingerbread' which he said was delicious and certainly looked pretty. I need to up my standards on presentation with my cooking as this looked incredible!We were all very happy with our starters. Mains were also very good, although I did regret my choice, I would have preferred the truffle terrine!I went for the 'Grilled Squid & Octopus, Bordelaise & Samphire' - another delicious dish, the fish was very fresh and tasty, but it was not exceptional and I have no idea still what that big purple thing was on my plate!Pascal had the 'Salt Marsh Lamb, Salsify, Heliantis & Nori' - like me he said it was very good but not memorable and not as high a standard as his starter.Jacci had the 'Glazed Black Cod, Sweet Artichokes, Verjuice and Crunchy Grapes'.Tony had the Charolais Beef Variation, Caviar, Ox Sauce.Both were very good and well presented.For pudding Jacci and I decided to be piglets and have cheese. We were offered a small mint sorbet which was very cute and refreshing but I was still in a savoury mood!The restaurant did not have a cheese trolley and instead just prepared you a plate of cheese. This was brilliant. A varied selection of cheese, chutney, biscuits and bread and each section complimenting each other. This ended the meal on a definite high!Club Gascon offers excellent food in an elegant setting, the starters were some of the best we have had in a very long time and if I went back I think I would just order a selection of starters and then cheese! The main courses were also good but not as exceptional. I would definitely recommend the restaurant if you were in the area for a quiet civilised lunch or supper although I wouldn't race back there as I think there are some other great places in the city I would like to try (if I make the effort to go over there - lazy bones here doesn't want to travel 45 minutes)!!Club Gascon57 West Smithfield,LondonEC1A 9DSTel: 020 7600 6144Fax: 020 7796 0601

I first came across Club Gascon at the Taste of Xmas event last November. Having tried their foie gras burger it prompted me to make a reservation for dinner. Based in Smithfield it has held one Michelin star since 2002. With it being the lead up to the festive season we had to settle for the 'Chefs Special' menu of 3 courses for £28 which seemed a bargain with 3 choices for each course.
For starters I chose grilled pine smoked duck hearts, wild fennel and diabolo sauce. They were well cooked with a bite and not overdone. The sauce added a slight sourness which went well with the grilled duck hearts. My dining partner, P, had watercress veloute, goats cheese gnocchi and mouli, he commented that it was average at best...

For more than 11 years, chef-patron Pascal Aussignac has been building his reputation in The City, especially around Smithfield Market. His first venture was Club Gascon, which has since extended to the Cellar, the Comptoir Gascon, the recently opened Cerle in Chelsea and Baranis, tucked-in behind the Royal Courts of Justice; nothing can stop this acclaimed chef.
Quietly working, Aussigac has permanently been creating after the success of his flagship...

When people hear that I have a food website, they jump to all sorts of conclusions. For a start, they panic that when I come to their house for a meal I will photograph their food and then write a scathing critique of their cooking skills on my blog. (OK, they are probably right about the photographing part!). They assume that I cook as if I have guests every night, and never come home late from work and bung oven chips and frozen breaded fish fillets in the oven. (Oops, have I said too much?) Or colleagues will pass by my desk at lunch and rubberneck at what I am eating, thinking it must surely be artisanal sourdough topped with foie gras and a side order of caviar. Hah. Not so much. They are far more likely to find me munching on a cheddar and coleslaw, or a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich. And yes, sometimes these are from Tesco. Mea culpa.
So when I DO leave my desk and go out to lunch, I am usually looking for something diametrically opposed to my usual boring sandwich. And I am pleased to say that last week I found lunch Nirvana practically on my office doorstep. Club Gascon was opened in 1998 near Smithfield Market in Clerkenwell by Vincent Labeyrie and chef patron Pascal Aussignac and is one of London's best-loved French restaurants. As the name suggests, the restaurant specialises in fine cuisine from South-West France, and it was not long before they were awarded a Michelin star. I liked the place as soon as we walked in; small but full of beautiful things, like the pistachio-coloured banquettes, the distressed silver ceiling, the gigantic flower arrangement on the bar, and the very beautiful curved wooden screens. And we won't even start on the tableware – I don't think I have ever seen more covetable ceramics in a restaurant...

Austria - Vienna and Salzburg
So these are a few of my favourite things... I was so excited for Austria, because I knew we would get to do the Sound of Music tour in Salzburg, where they filmed the musical back in 1964. But first, we went to Vienna. We were only in Vienna for one night, so we headed out for dinner and had these amazing schnitzels, maybe the best schnitzels out there. They were thin, and the coating tasted similar to KFC almost, but less greasy. Such a good ...

The video was like Dad just turned on Netflix, so mom and I found coffee instead until the guide picked us back up. The guide herself was a little crazy but mom and I made the best of the day by laughing about everything. It ...

I'm glad I packed light! Then we toured the castle here, but after seeing so many gorgeous castles in Paris and Rome, it wasn't very impressive. They had a lot of torture tools on display and a torture room or tour. Ur I ...
... Hubby and the elderly German husband played with our satellite dish in sign language! The upshot of their "conversation", after much waving, pointing and testing of wires was that it was sadly too small to get anything from the English satellite, and it once again got packed away in its bag, unused.
Tea was a take-away pizza from the camp restaurant, €8.80 worth of a very tasty vegetable one.
Salzburg to budapest
... had a walk round the site and managed to find some items. Just to add that my family are probably going to freak as this would be the first time they have heard of this, but everybody was and still is ok. After a long drive we arrived in Budapest and had our first truck party. This in involved a lot of head tourches hanging in the truck, loud music and a lot of drinking. People who pitched their tent by the truck didn't get much sleep as most people got to bed at about 2am.

Community Notebook
maddog imagines what it would be like to own a Microsoft-certified toilet.
Years ago, I wrote an article about taking a shower in a hotel and almost burning myself. The faucet handles in the shower were round and smooth, and with soap on my hands I could not grip the handles to adjust the hot water. I thought to myself that standards in the plumbing industry would allow people to replace the handles on these faucets to give you something to grip. Later, I started thinking that, with no or "proprietary" standards, you would not be able to replace the faucet handles without replacing the pipe out to the street. Last night, the toilet in my bathroom refused to flush. I knew what was wrong, because on the previous flush the handle had given that characteristic jerk, telling me that it was no longer attached to the flushing mechanism by the little chain.

Punk has included an element of political consciousness since the Clash strummed about the Troubles in the late 1970s, although in peacetime the good service of punks was to plead for anarchy.

Arma 3 review update: single-player, Zeus module and more
By Charlie Hall on Aug 11, 2014 08.11.14
In the months since Arma 3's release, the team at Bohemia Interactive has rolled out many additions to the base game, chief among them a promised three-act single player campaign that is leaps and bounds better at helping new players into the game. After more than 300 hours with the game I can unflinchingly say this is the best first-person infantry simulation I have ever played. Emphasis on the word simulation. Arma 3 is not an FPS, and every time it veers into standard FPS tropes like escort missions and gated objectives, it stumbles. At times, it takes a willing suspension of disbelief to out-think the game and divine what it is exactly the mission designers want you to do in order to advance the story. There are brights spots, like the open-world objectives available in the second...

Learn how to effectively use vehicles in Arma 3 with this video tutorial
By Samit Sarkar on Jul 03, 2014 07.03.14
Arma 3 developer Bohemia Interactive has been making efforts to open up the game to novice players, and the existing community has been helping out with guides like the one released today, which covers vehicles. The video tutorial, narrated by Andrew "Dslyecxi" Gluck from the Arma community group ShackTactical, examines the ground vehicles in Arma 3. Gluck breaks down the three main types — tanks, armored personnel carriers and troop transports, from heaviest to lightest — and explains that most of them need a three-person crew to run effectively: a driver, gunner and vehicle commander. For more on Bohemia's own plans to make Arma 3 more accessible, check out the announcement of the shooter's upcoming Bootcamp update.

Arma 3's April Fools joke raises serious cash for the Red Cross
By Dave Tach on Jun 24, 2014 06.24.14
Arma 3 Karts began as an April Fools' Day joke that turned into downloadable content and earned 1 million Czech koruna (about $49,621) for the Czech Red Cross, developer Bohemia Interactive announced today. The kart racing offshoot of the military shooter is part of Bohemia's plan to experiment with DLC. Released late last month, the Windows PC add-on content is available now for $1.99 on Steam and on Bohemia Interactive's store. "Alongside helping us to evaluate Arma 3's new approach to DLC, with the backing of our community, Arma 3 Karts has managed to raise money for a great cause," said creative director Jay Crowe. "A big thanks to our players, both for their support and their valuable feedback, which we'll use to refine our implementation. Overall, we're positive about the...

Arma 3's Bootcamp update looks to ease new players into the game
By Samit Sarkar on Jun 23, 2014 06.23.14
Arma 3 developer Bohemia Interactive detailed the shooter's upcoming "Bootcamp" update today, a set of single-player, multiplayer and non-gameplay additions that are designed to function as a tutorial for new players. Bohemia originally announced Bootcamp last month as part of an effort to sustain Arma 3 as a platform for the future. The package will be led by its own solo campaign, which is meant to "[introduce] the basic principles of infantry combat," said Jay Crowe, the game's creative director. Bootcamp also includes a multiplayer component that pairs Arma 3 die-hards with less experienced players in a unique Zeus scenario as "instructors" and "recruits," respectively. There's more to learn in Bootcamp outside of game sessions. Players can practice the basics in a virtual reality...

Kart racing finally comes to Arma 3
By Michael McWhertor on May 29, 2014 05.29.14
Arma 3's military sandbox is getting an injection of fun today with the addition of kart racing. Previously an April Fool's Day gag from Bohemia Interactive, the $1.99 downloadable add-on, Arma 3 Karts, is now reality. Included in the Arma 3 Karts DLC is a "20hp 4-stroke engine go-kart, several kart liveries, playable race driver and marshal game characters, new kart-racing Time Trials and Steam Achievements, plus various race objects to build your own racetracks," Bohemia said in an update today. Proceeds from the sale of Arma 3 Karts will go to benefit the Czech Red Cross, as Bohemia calls the unusual add-on "a fun little side-step." But the kart racing downloadable content also serves a more serious purpose. Bohemia is using Arma 3 Karts as something of a test bed for its...

GameSpy Technology shutting down May 31 (update)
By Samit Sarkar on Apr 03, 2014 04.03.14
GameSpy Technology, the Glu Mobile-owned service that provides multiplayer functionality for dozens of games on consoles, computers and mobile devices, will shut down as of May 31, according to the company's website.

Note: Because Outlander is about to be a big ol' awesome TV series on Starz, I'm keeping these posts as spoiler-free as possible. I'll be including some book-quotes to illustrate my points, but I promise not to reveal anything plot-related. Because I care about you.
Claire Beauchamp is the heroine of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, and is a damn breath of fresh air as far as female characters go. She's smart, stubborn, funny, fierce, and entirely imperfect. No shrinking violet, she's the leading woman you want to root for. Of course she's pretty, but not much fuss is made about that. Her sexy mind and a talent for medicine make her special. She's a little rough around the edges. Sure, she's got love interests, but she is a whole human being with or without a man. I like that about her, and I hope that continues to be the case on the show.
Claire's talent for identifying, making and administering medicine– and in particular her knowledge of plants– comes in handy many times throughout the series, so I knew it must be represented in her drink somehow.
The herb garden, valuable repository of healing and flavors that it was, was cradled in an inner courtyard, large enough to allow for sun, but sheltered from spring winds, with its own wellhead. Rosemary bushes bordered the garden to the west, chamomile to the south, and a row of amaranth marked the north border, with a castle wall itself forming the eastern edge, an additional shelter from the prevailing winds. I correctly identified the green spikes of late crocus and soft-leaved French sorrel springing out of the rich dark earth. Mrs. Fitz pointed out foxglove, purslane, and betony, along with a few I did not recognize. (Outlander, ch. 2)
I turned away without speaking and went to busy myself with tidying the small pots and packets of medicines on the side table. I arranged them into small groups, sorted by function: marigold ointment and poplar balm for soothing, willowbark, cherry bark and chamomile for teas, St. John's wort, garlic, and yarrow for disinfection. (Outlander, ch 38)
Whisky is also an important consideration when it comes to Claire, for two reasons: 1. She likes it (duh), 2. A part of her anatomy resembles it (her eyes, perverts):
"… [She was] Inhaling the whiskey fumes with rapture." (Dragonfly in Amber, ch 2)
"Her face was flushed from the whiskey, and her eyes were the most unusual light golden-brown color, he thought– like amber in crystal." (Dragonfly in Amber, ch 2)
"[Claire's eyes are] the color of verra fine whisky, wi' the sun shining through them from behind. I thought this morning they looked like sherry, but I was wrong. Not sherry. Not brandy. It's whisky. That's what it is." (Dragonfly in Amber, ch 6)
An important side note about whisk(e)y: The spelling whisky is generally used in Scotland, England, Wales, Canada, and Japan. Whiskey is more common in Ireland and the United States. Scotch is the type most often referred to in the series, and therefore the spelling is sans e. Bourbon, rye, Irish, Scotch, etc. are all types of whisk(e)y, but they are all unique in their ingredients and production. More on that in a future blog post. For now, remember: Scotch = whisky.
Scotch purists often shudder whenever it's diluted with anything other than water. I get that. It's a beautiful, complex spirit that doesn't need anything, really. That complexity also means that it can be a bitch to mix into cocktails. That doesn't mean that it can't be done well, however.
I'd recommend this drink even if you aren't normally a whisk(e)y believer. Claire's drink is a little sweet, a slightly bitter, and pretty without being prissy. My sister, Emily, said this may be her most favorite cocktail. Ever. That's some pretty high praise. I hope you'll decide to replicate it at home to celebrate the online premiere of Outlander on August 2nd, or the television premiere on the 9th!
