- Heat oil in a large pan and fry the onion, garlic, carrot and leek until soft but not coloured. Add the tomato purée, chopped tomatoes, butter beans, flageolet beans, cider, stock and thyme and simmer for 15-20 mins until the stew has thickened and the veg are tender.
- Meanwhile, if you're adding sausages to any portion, snip each sausage into 3-4 chunks. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and brown the chunks for 5 mins, then stir in appropriate portions of the stew and gently simmer for the remaining cooking time. Serve with the mash.

Comments, questions and tips
Really lovely stew. Took on board some of the comments and added a stick odf celery an extra garlic clove, a bay leaf and a pinch of paprika. Also added a teaspoon of English mustard to the cheddar mash. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will be cooking again. I didn't think there was any need for meet or veggie sausages.
This was nice; I added some cauliflower, peas and sweetcorn as I didn't have any butter beans. Being a non-drinker, I missed out the cider and used more stock. Next time I think it would be better to add the beans towards the end of the cooking time as they got a bit mushy. I did cook it for longer than stated though as it was a bit runny.
The mash was ok, but I prefer mashed potatoes with some mustard stirred through.
Found this easy to make and the cider gave an interesting and different flavour to what is basically a Bean and Veg soup. Without the sausage I found it to be a bit thin and lacking some punch but my son-in-law gave it the thumbs up. In spite of my reservations this is a great low fat, high fibre and healthy meal and I will make it again making some additions until it packs the punch I want.
Made this last night for dinner, used strongbow as i had some in the fridge and cooked off some sausages which I added at the end, put the whole lot in an oven dish topped it with the mash (I did sweet potato mash) topped with cheese and put in the oven to brown off, it was amazing, well worth a try. Easy to make and so very tasty. By the way i got the can of flageolet beans in tesco's.

Four people were arrested after Horry County detectives responded to Holt Circle Apartments in Conway to execute a search warrant Monday.
When detectives arrived, they ordered the four people in the apartment to put their hands in the air and get on the ground. Detectives say two of them, Burnett Terrill McCray, Jr., 27, and Kareem Weaver, 33, ran out of the apartment.
They were caught a short time later and arrested. Arrested in the apartment were Alonzell Weaver, 23, and Rochester Greene, 55.
Inside, detectives say they found a baggie containing what appeared to be marijuana in a couch cushion. They also found substances in a Crown Royal bag that field tested positive as rock and powder cocaine. They say they found 3 baggies of rock cocaine, 13 baggies of powder cocaine, 138 30mg Oxycodone pills, and three 20 dollar bills.
Detectives also found a .38 Smith & Wesson handgun, ammunition, a taser, and scales inside the apartment.
They say they also found what appeared to be marijuana on Alonzell Weaver and Kareem Weaver.

For the price it was a place to sleep. That is all it was. It was fairly clean for an old building. The pillows were horrible.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Booked non-smoking but..."
Disappointed that we had booked a non-smoking room but when we arrived, all they had was a smoking - no extra rooms. Luckily, another person showed up at the same time and wanted a smoking room - the hotel staff was great and we were able to switch.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Our room was not cleaned one day. Problem between management and another guestGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok for a few hours, if you're taking a long trip and need to stop somewhere"
Pros - Nice pool, free breakfast Cons - Lobby and hallways are dark and dingy. Beds were really really high - my three year old had to sleep in the bed with me, I barricaded the area around him because I was so afraid he will fall off the bed, which made it hard to sleep. Overall Hotel had more of a Motel pitstop feel to it. I guess the pool separated […] it from being motel. Not sure why they are called suites except that there was a desk in our room. The bathroom was tiny, had to get all the way in the bathroom just to close the door. There was no sink in the bathroom, so you had to turn the lights on in the room to brush your teeth waking others up. Overall not a good stay, wish we stayed at the new hotel across the bridge next to Cracker Barrel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Best we could find that took pets..."
It was ok. Overall the room was pretty clean, but the bed was not comfortable. We chose this hotel because we needed a place that took pets and this was the best we could find. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub briefly the night we got there and the breakfast area was well stocked with lots of choices in the morning. We would have never stayed there if […] it weren't for the dogs, but all things considered it was fine for one night. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Cambridge is not a garden spot. Let me start there. The scenery isn't bad, but accommodations are standard truck route hotels and food choices are mostly chain restaurants, all grouped around an intersection of I-70 that includes a Walmart and a Super K-Mart. These rooms get used hard. The walls in my room, once covered in a beautiful fabric wall-paper […] now show signs of deep gouges and rips in that fabric, in some places hanging in shreds.

If I had a complaint, it would be poor internet service. In the evenings seemed to get kicked off quite a bit.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Family Travel"
Arrived after 6 p.m. room was clean, small with double not queen beds. Toilet and shower was private - but the sink was in the sleeping area. Since there was more than my husband and myself we did boys/girls turns getting ready. Variety of nearby places to eat. Went to the pool about 9:25 to find the pool closed at 10:00 - a bit disappointing after […] a long day in the car. Awakened a couple of times through the night by footsteps/or bouncing ball above us. Complimentary brkfast was fine with hot items on the menu "kitchen" area was clean.

The hotel appeared very dirty and smelled really bad. We requested a non-smoking room and it smelled very smoky. I refused to take my shoes off to let me feel touch the carpet (everything just felt dirty). The comforters appeared to beabout 20 years old and were very thin and worn. We took the comforter off of the bed as soon as we got into the room. […] If I hadn't had already paid upfront, I would have moved to a different hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Grade = B"
Nice hotel. Clean. Friendly staff. Great swimming pool and hot tub. Good breakfast. Bathroom was smaller than average. TV was okay. I'm used to staying in 2-star hotels, i.e. Days Inn, Best Western, etc. This hotel was slightly better than those mainly because of the swimming pool and hot tub.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Needs maintenance"
The hotel was nice, and the staff was extraordinarily helpful. However there was black mold on the bathroom walls.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good older hotel"
We stayed one night while visiting relatives in the area...While this is an older hotel it was clean and the hotel staff very nice. We were told that they will be updating in the next few months with flat screen TV's, microwaves and beds. Complimentary breakfast was like any of the other larger hotels was good. We would stay again :)Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Not recommended!"
I needed a place close to cumberland, and this seemed to fit the bill. However wish I had paid the few bucks more for a nicer hotel. We (2 adults, a 2yr old and a 4yr old) were on the second floor, and no elevator to carry bags, cooler etc. Upon returning to our room after the first night our trash was still in the waste basket, the pillows were just […] tossed on the bed, and a wet towel was left in the room, coffee had not been replenished nor had pot been cleaned. When we arrived we had to ask for additional towels as there were only 3 for 4 of us. The second night we still had only 3 towels and 2 face cloths. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Looked like the hotel was NOT being kept up or annually renewed (older TV, broken chair, poor bed, stained carpets, very minimal breakfast, only one staff person responsible for running the desk AND breakfast AND laundry, etc.). It just looked like ownership had decided to use the shale oil demand to take as much money out of the hotel in profits without […] plowing anything back into it in terms of upkeep or maintenance or staffing. Had we known the condition before-hand we would not have stayed here. It is below the normal expected Baymont Inn quality. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"The Baymont Inn in Cambridge Ohio - Decent stay"
The baymont Inn is a clean, comfortable and covenient. I stayed there on business. The only downfall of the hotel is that is lacks a business center, so you can't print anything if you need to.

"Average - needs improvement/update"
This was the third night we stayed in a motel on our move from Colorado to DC. We thought this would be much better after having stayed at the Baymont in Hays, KS the first night and it was very nice there. This motel was not as nice, it's just older and needs to be updated.

Nothing great, nothing awful. The beds could have been more comfortable but we were only there one night. The pool was great and it's close to the highway and restaraunts. The breakfast was one of the worst stocked ones we saw on a 8 day cross-country trip.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Baymont Inn, Cambridge, Ohio"
The staff is pleasant and friendly. The beds are comfortable, and the lighting is good. The breakfast is limited but adequate. The area is close to the Interstate (70 and 77), so it is wall-to-wall fast food joints and big box stores. This is an excellent place to stay if you are looking for somewhere to sleep at reasonable cost.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Baymont Inn and Suites Cambridge"
Our family had 3 rooms at the Baymont Inn for a family outing where we had to arrive, get ready and then go on to the event, so we requested an early check-in. This hotel not only did that for us, they were pleasant, helpful and made our stay with the children a very good one. They gave us all three rooms next to each other, the grandchildren were able […] to be with all of us. The next morning we spent at the pool, which was just an extra bonus for all of us. Our rooms were comfortable and clean. We will be staying there again for the next event, we were very pleased with the service and attitude of this hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Baymont Inn- Cambridge Ohio"
We will definatly be staying here on our next trip. The pool area was clean and family friendly. The breakfast area was well stocked and very clean. The only complaint I have is that the room itself needed a little maintnence. The wallpaper was peeling in the corners and my three year old kept wanting to pull it off. Other than that a wonderful experience. […] There was fast food resturants right across the street. Anything you wanted was right there in walking distance. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Never again!"
We're were just stopping for one night while traveling. We've been at this hotel in past years, but it has declined greatly. I VERY RARELY write reviews, but this was bad experience.

Guess who's ignoring President Obama's order to lower all the flags in the memory of former South African President Nelson Mandela?
A spokesman confirmed that Sheriff Arpaio was ignoring the order that all flags be lowered to honor Mandela, who passed away late Thursday at 95.
I don't think it's out of character, but I find this very disrespectful on various degrees. This is almost as bad as gloating about serving inmates 58-cent Thanksgiving dinners.

Pamplemousse Le Restaurant
Online Reservations
Great food and that old time Vegas feel that is lacking in most places today.
Perfect place for a superb, intimate, romantic dinner, free from the noise and chaos of the strip. The ambience and food are unbeatable. A treasure, especially for locals.
It doesn't look like much from the outside but It has great ambience inside. It's close to the monorail and the stratosphere so don't let the location turn you away. The food is superb and is reasonably priced. The escargot was amazing as was the chocolate soufflé and grand manier soufflé.
I have lived here for 25 yrs my husband over 50yrs,the Pamplemousse is one of the few restaurants that served the old celebities and now new. My daughter has always wanted to eat there so Easter with the family was prefect. All of us ordered something different to share every dish was amazing in display and taste. The grandchildren are teenagers they loved the whole experience. Our waiter "Keeper" he was the best not only served us at our speed but entertained us with the history and sing for us.
I love the relaxed feel of this place - dark, small and cozy – like a comfortable living room. I definitely would return to try more dishes. We had the Five Coarse meal they offer and we both chose different items to taste test. They are known for the fresh basket of vegetables and breads, so it is a must! Our favorite appetizer was the Bouchee de Fruit de Mer! This is a seafood Souffle. The waiter was simply awesome! He was able to answer all our questions and his recommendations were a perfect blend of food and wine! It is not easy to become an icon in a town like Las Vegas, but Pamplemousse Le Restaurant is one for sure! You will want to make reservations, as space is limited and is very popular!
The food was EXCELLENT. The service was disappointing. Our waiter did not tell us about any specials, soup of the day, fish of the day, etc until we asked him when he came to take our order. The waiter seemed pre-occupied with a larger party that was there that evening. Because the food really is delicious, I would recommend Pamplemousse and would definitely give them another opportunity at service.
Took my wife here for a romantic birthday dinner - this place did not dissapoint! I can't believe I lived in Las Vegas for 15 years and hadn't heard about this place!! Will definitely be back.
Being once a year visitor from Hawaii to Vegas, this was the second time in two years I went to this french restaurant for dinner. The restaurant is perfect for business get together because it is fairly quiet and we could talk to each other. Food and the service were exceptional. The duck special and steaks were all prepared perfectly. The complimentary veggie platter was fresh with assorted flavors. I recommend escargot. We will go back to this restaurant next time we visit Vegas. MAHALO
From the escargot to the rack of lamb to the souffle... everything was wonderful. Quiet, intimate, relaxed, and elegant without being pretentious.
This place has amazing food and service. I would reccomend to anyone that wants to enjoy a wonderful meal with a loved one or date.
Had a great time; Kiefer did a great job entertaining us, explaining history of the restaurant, describing available menus. Was a little disappointed with the escargots, used to garlic and butter, not cream sauce. But overall, it was good. Thank you
We have been going to Pamplemousse for probably 20 years and always wish our trip was longer so that we could have another great meal, We do visit on every trip, but that is only once a year, yet they remember us and treat us as if we were there every month or more. The food is terrific and always made to our specification and always take into account our food allergies.
Consistently good. Love the rack of lamb. Special halibut was great. Low key...........not like strip restaurants.
Overall, we liked having dinner at Pamplemousse very much. Food was well prepared, and the servings nicely timed, though the wild rice must have come from an instant rice box. Entrees and dessert were very good. Low lights, quiet. We would definitely dine there again, though we didn't care for the waiter announcing the specials to two tables simultaneously, rather than quietly addressing each.
I wanted to take my girlfiend out somewhere special. Her being french-canadian made me think of french food. We tend to stay away from the strip to avoid the crowds and Pamplemousse was the perfect spot. When you walk in, the ambiance of the place is very romantic. The lighting was dim and there were tea light candles at every table. Frank Senatra was playing lightly over the sound system. We were greeted by the Maitre`d ,Pierre. He was by far the best Maitre`d that I have ever encountered in all of the places we've eaten . The food was amazing. We ate for 4 hours, trying almost everything on the menu. Everything was perfectly cooked, and the sauces were to die for. I have already recomened this place to all of my friends.
It got even better. The food was fantastic and better than ever. Perry, our waiter is at the top of his game and was truly professional without being haughty - a real gem. You all MUST go and experience one of the best in Vegas!
We heard good things about this restaurant and it was lively, crowded in a vibrant way and our wait person, his sommelier and Pierre were so professional and made our dinner for seven friends just great! from the Crudités Basket to the Chocolate Souffle! It's a bit off the beaten path but that's what makes it different from the Vegas hyped up restaurant..it's old and quaint! The food was delicious..the pate rich and creamy, the entrees of salmon and fettuccine, to the Osso Bucca...just delicious.
We have gone here twice now and everything has been very very good !!! Need I saw more . Please do yourself a favor and check out this wonderful little place in Las Vegas . See how many of the golden age of Hollywood actors you can name on the walls !!
While a little pricey, the food was wonderful. Our waiter, Pierre, who happens to be the owners brother, was friendly and helpful with our choices. I wouldn't suggest a large party.We went with a party of three, The dinner included the French onion soup, escargot, the ribeye, and chocolate soufflé. All three of us had the same dinner. $250.00 dollars later it seemed a lot for three people. Granted we new it would be, and the food was well worth it! I just wouldn't suggest it for a large party. It would be perfect for a romantic dinner for two. It's very romantic and has a great ambiance. Birthdays, anniversary, special occasions. And like I said before the food was wonderful!
We went there on our first night in Las Vegas. I got the old standby for French restaurants Coq au Vin and my husband had the veal with mushrooms. The food there was great. The wait staff were helpful and prompt. I loved they basket of veggies that started off our dining experience. Will tell friends who visit Las Vegas to go there.
Have to be doing something right to last so long. Now on their 2nd chef but maintains signature starter and amazing food and service. Be careful you don't give the building a kick but once inside the ambiance adds to the experience. The 5 course prix fix is a great value and no supplement to finish with a choice of souffle. Wine selection a little limited but priced right.
Great food and attentive service. Escargots was perfect, Grand Marnier Soufflé was delicious. I have to mention that they serve complimentary basket with fresh crudités which we loved. I highly recommend this restaurant.
The customer service was out of this world- very friendly and chipper server who kept up on the water glass topping off as if he were obsessed. EXCELLENT gourmet food, at actually a reasonable price considering the top notch quality! Everything was spectacular and I will definitely come back!! VERY romantic ambiance, upscale, a real place to take someone you would be trying to impress.
We visited the restaurant during restaurant week. While the food was the highlight of the evening, the sommelier was a close second. Specifically, when I told him the wines that we liked, he chose wines from the list that he thought we would enjoy--and we did. We also appreciated that Georges La Forge made a personal visit to our table. It was our first time to the restaurant but it won't be the last.
As one of Vegas' oldest restaurants (same location, chef-owner and head waiter for 37 years) I expected much less. I was pleasantly surprised. Very romantic, excellent service, good but not too fancy and fairly priced French cuisine. The escargot, coq au vin and especially the bread and butter were exceptional.
Pamplemousse has been around for many years and the food has always been fantastic. The restaurant is a converted home and has three small dining rooms, all beautifully appointed. The cuisine is french and meals can be purchased a la carte or they have a 5 course meal for about $60. They serve duck, steak, seafood in puff pastry and the best beef bourginone and escargot I have ever eaten. We take friends and relatives there when we want to celebrate and have not been disappointed in more than 20 years of dining. The wine list is extensive and many wines are imported and affordable. I know you will enjoy yourself as Keifer and/or Perry will take excellent care of you, as they do all their customers.
My wife and I dined at this restaurant many times up to 30 years ago. It was one of our favorites. The reviews were very positive, so we decided to give it a try. Let me tell you that it was as good, if not better, than we remembered! The food was great! The duck was the best have had in years. My granddaughter is a Vegan, and they fixed a special dish for her. The waiter, Keith was very attentive, helpful, and entertaining. As a result, we had a wonderful meal! It was also great to get away from the hotel environment. I will definitely put this restaurant on our list when we return.
Cute and cozy. We arrived around 8pm last Sunday. The only table that was there was leaving so we had the place to ourselves. Food was great and our server was quite entertaining while taking care of all of our needs. Don't understand why we were the only table, it was so great. Affordable and delicious. Only negative comment is we were never told Happy Anniversary. We were charged for all 3 desserts we ordered, with no writing or candle. But that would not prevent us from going back. Just surprised it wasn't acknowledged in some way. We still had a great dinner.
It's a most special place in the heart of Las Vegas. Thankfully not everyone knows about it for, if they did, I would never get a table.
We were there 30 years ago and the food, service and ambience wee almost the same. We are now "locals" and would and will come back, again and again!!
This was our second time here. Last time was 6 years ago. The food was better than we remembered. We actually had the same waiter who took care of us in a polished, competent and entertaining fashion. We partook of the 5 course dinner which had plenty of choices to satisfy most palates. The food was superbly prepared and most enjoyable to eat. From the outside, you would never expect the classically elegance of the dining areas. We had a great romantic dinner.
Pamplemousse has endured for decades in Las Vegas where the usual restaurant shelf-life is less than 10 years. The food is top-notch, a taste of Provincial France; the service is outstanding; the ambience is charming, comfortable yet elegant; and, unbelievably, it's quiet! Something hard to find today. We ordered ala carte--the duck for him and braised lamb shank for me. Both delicious. The soup du jour was cream of celery, and amazing. Only slight disappointment, not enough garlic in the garlic mashed potatoes. Nobody's perfect! The prices weren't bad for a nice restaurant, we paid more at the seafood (chain) restaurant at the Golden Nugget. I'm definitely going back!
Come to this out of the way neighborhood gem; has been around since 1976. I recently came into ownership of my parents' house very close by, and decided to try it out. I was not disappointed. The $29.95 bistro menu is perfect for a single diner, and all my food was cooked to perfection with fresh, aromatic herbs. Irving, my waiter, was friendly and attentive, not too overbearing, and I was able to substitute a nice, chilled bottle of Pellegrino mineral water(I like it much better than Perrier) for wine, since I do not drink. Yes, it is certainly possible to enjoy French food without wine....it tastes just as good! Nice restaurant with decades of history!
We last dined here 28 years ago with friends celebrating their wedding and it was wonderful. Came back recently for my wife's birthday and it was wonderful again. Food was excellent, the filet mignon was melt in your mouth and the garden basket salad is so cool. The only reason it's not 5 stars is we had to ask for bread after waiting quite awhile, but it's a minor gripe since the bread was sooooo good and they brought a lot more. Our waiter and the manager were both very nice and professional and we got seated as soon as we arrived. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a romantic dinner or a small group. Excellent food and ambience. Cozy and romantic AND it's not in a big hotel. We'll be back.
Great food, quiet, good service. Ideal place for actually being able to talk and hear what your spouse is saying. Very good value. The crudette was a bit over the top. Glad we went...
We chose this restaurant based on OpenTable reviews of romantic restaurants in Vegas, and it fit the bill. Totally non-Vegas atmosphere, a QUIET little country house a couple of blocks from the Strip. Very attentive waiter. Entrees (duck and rib-eye steak) were a little dry but still tasty, desserts were very good. Definitely would recommend it.
This was a fun "French Dining" experience. Location is a bit off the strip. The wine list is small, but there is sufficient variety that you can find something you like in your price range
We`ve been to a lot of restaurants and we can count the really nice ones on one hand. This is undoubtedly one of the best. We don`t care a lot for the large commercial places. This little gem is nice and neat on the outside but, wait until you get inside! The décor is unbelievable!! Everything it should be. We had the pleasure of being served by a newly imported Frenchman named Gee. His style was impeccable and experienced. His accent really lent to the authenticity of the experience. And, the cuisine was excellently prepared. We were celebrating my friend`s belated birthday but, I don`t think we`ll be needing a special occasion to return to the Pamplemousse Le Restaurant . A very nice place!!!
The service, atmosphere and food were great. It is a quiet restaurant that was perfect. The waiter was very personable and took great care of us. I would recommend this place for anyone who is looking to try a new place in town.
Went on Thanksgiving not expecting a holiday menu. Stayed anyway and was very pleased! 4 course meal with the soups to die for, the salads were fresh and crisp with just the right amount of dressing. We had steak medallions and rack of lamb for the main course-cooked to perfection! We couldn't finish the dessert which was tasty also. We want to go back and try the escargot and steak dinners they offer which is why we went in the first place. Have to believe their daily menu has to be great if the one time holiday menu was that fantastic!!
As alway's the food is great. This was are third time for Thanksgiving and will continue the tradition. We also dine here at other times and the regular menu is great.
We continue to return here year after year. The food and service are unsurpassed. Nothing more to add.
This is a small restaurant off the Las Vegas strip that has some great French food. It has a cozy atmosphere and ambience. I selected the Pamplemouse Epicurean Five course dinner which included fresh vegetables for the 1st course and a grapefruit sorbet for the 3rd course. I was able to select the other 3 courses and picked the Bouchee De Fruit De Mar, the Braised Lamb Shank, and a Chocolate Souffle. I enjoyed it all, though my favorite had to the the Bouchee De Fruit De Mar which is basically shrimp, scallops, lobster bisque and a saffron sauce in a small pie shell. I would definitely go back the next time I'm in town.

This weekend, the San Francisco 49ers take on the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII at the New Orleans Superdome. The Super Bowl is not just about the game, but also about the food, commercials, drinks and betting behind it! Here's some game day context, by the numbers.

Latitude 2012 comes with a heavy weight of expectation. After a few years of a more commercially orientated bill, this year's line-up stirred great excitement among the obscurists, hipsters and music fans of a more, ahem, 'niche' nature.
All this was shaping up to be a heady mix in the usual picturesque setting with one possible complication – rain. This summer has been majorly sucky, hasn't it? Mid-July in Suffolk would be no exception, and while the rain largely stayed off for the weekend itself, the damage had been done in the run-up, and parts of the campsite and the village area that linked it with the arena were a mudbath well before the entertainment kicked off.
A pity, but the enthusiastic massive weren't going to let it dampen their spirits and the first act of note – London's Breton – were at least playing under cover at the iArena. More synth-based than Foals, the arty five-piece are incredibly tight with thumping keys and bass shaking the squelchy ground on which we stand in a thoroughly pleasant fashion. A little later in the same spot comes George Lewis Jnr's Twin Shadow surfing on a wave of massive critical acclaim following the release of his Confess album. Coming on a little like Prince, the songs are hugely impressive on record, though fail to truly ignite the arena in the way that they should have. Maybe it was a little early for party central.
Party central is hardly a term that The Antlers will be familiar with, but their dreamy effects-driven take on noise-pop suits the dreiche atmosphere perfectly. Last year's Burst Apart album is what they concentrate on, but oldie Two gets a gently raucous run-out to a sizeable crowd, many of whom will have seen them in this very spot a few years back.
With a little time to spare before we investigate an exciting 1-2-3 on the Main Stage, we take a chance on Vadoinmassico on the Lake Stage. Not knowing a damn thing about them is sometimes the best way to approach a band for the first time and this lot are a pleasant surprise. There's a little feel of a mariachi band about them, bringing them up a notch from the usual folky fare and the closing Archeology of the Future is a very fine tune indeed. Ones to watch.
And so to the Main Stage. Anyone who saw Janelle Monáe's televised Glastonbury performance last year couldn't have failed to have been impressed by the lady's choreographed stagecraft and the sense of fun she brought to the occasion. We're delighted to say that in the flesh it's even better. The songs on 2010′s The ArchAndroid are good enough in their own right, but add in crowd interaction, formation dancing, moonwalking and perfectly judged Prince and Jackson 5 covers, you have a modern soul star that deserves as much recognition as those artists she looks up to. Act of the weekend? Yes, but my word Metronomy, on straight after, ran her damn close. Mercury-nominated Tidal Wave 2011 favourite The English Riviera has taken them to the next level and Joe Mount acknowledges their rise by reminiscing about their time on the Lake Stage a few years previously, and the Nights Out album gets a few nods. But for the pastel yellow-clad Mount, this a victory lap for his band and Corinne and The Bay are met with huge roars from the crowd.
And so to tonight's headliner Bon Iver who has come a hell of a long way from the lo-fi origins of For Emma, Forever Ago. Justin Vernon is one of nine grizzled men on stage, who after a thrashy (yes really) version of Perth power through most of both albums. Many of the For Emma songs have been rearranged to take account of the larger band and Flume, for one, sounds incredible with added strings, brass and double drumming. Creature Fear was always built to be played loud however, and is just one of near countless highlights in a fat-free set. Bon Iver have their doubters after a mixed response to their (and yes, they do seem to be a 'they' now) second album but tonight's performance vindicates both their popularity and their choice as headliner.
We've already mentioned our love for the Orkney: Symphony of the Magnetic North album on these pages as performed by Magnetic North, a.k.a. Erlend Cooper, Simon Tong and Hannah Peel, so seeing it performed at 1145 in the Film Arena on Saturday was a no-brainer. However, by the time we got down there they were already well underway with added string players, having started a good 45 minutes earlier than advertised – the first of a number of timing-related grumbles we're to have over the next two days. That said, the live show, complete with grainy film accompaniments is superb, transporting a small audience to the northern isles and we're glad we made the effort.
Over in the Word Arena, Sharon van Etten is showing us all precisely why her Tramp album has been such a praise magnet. van Etten's voice is soulful and lush and her guitar playing is as good as anything else that fits with the country/blues genre that we can think of. Backed with a four piece band, the songs sound huge in a tent that's fairly busy for the time of day it is, and everyone here has been treated to an early highlight.
Iceland's six strong Of Monsters and Men have pulled an absolutely huge crowd to the iArena, seemingly just on the back of their Little Talks single. It's hard to see them from our position but their take on chamber pop surfs dangerously close to the mainstream. They do come across as a likeable bunch though, and their upcoming album sounds worthy of investigation at least. Theme Park are another hot tip from the music press an get a decent crowd over on the Lake Stage. Musically tight, they're not treading any new ground, and it's certainly nothing that Vampire Weekend or Yeasayer haven't ticked off already. Time is on their side though and again, they could be ones to look out for. More impressive are Tall Ships, on immediately after. The rain starts tipping it down halfway through their brand of math rock with added vocals but we're enchanted by their sound, at times ferocious, at times blissful, and more notes have been made.
Low have been placed pitifully *cough* low on the bill, but it's still only a half-full Word Arena that greets them. They also have a full hour to play and some feet are definitely getting twitchy towards the end. They veer away from self indeulgence and play the closest thing to a mass crowd pleasing set that they can muster, keeping the volume cranked up throughout. The louder numbers from last year's C'Mon and Sunflower from Things We Lost in the Fire stand out.
Like Of Monsters and Men before them, Django Django feel a little too big for the iArena but this is one über-crowd the organisers could at least have anticipated. It's almost impossible to find a point to both see and hear the band properly. Their debut album already feels like one of the year's best and Waveforms, Default and Skies Over Cairo hit the mark, albeit in a fairly muffled fashion. SBTRK, playing the Word Arena are an enticing prospect with promises of bass and huge beats but after excellent single Hold On is tossed away early it all gets a little samey. Ticking more boxes marked 'fun' are Los Campesinos!, wasted on the Lake Stage, even as headliners. You, Me, Dancing and The Sea Is A Good Place to Think of the Future seem to wrap up a rapturous set until Gareth Campesinos! thanks the stage manager for letting them play another song – in advance it seems. The PA is pulled within 30 seconds of this surprise closing number and their set finishes with Gareth in the crowd, who are singing along anyway, more band members right at the barrier, and the rest of the band still playing, just not making any noise. Good fun to watch, but a pity it ended in such a fashion.
No such shambolic fare from Elbow who have found success in recent years after plugging away for ages. To see them headline such a huge event is wonderful feeling for those who have been following their progress, but the grandeur of this show – and many others that have come before it – has come at a cost. What made the band so incredible, a certain je ne sais que brewed from their songwriting, humour and stunning musicianship, seems to have been diluted and topped up with needless schmaltz and fannying about. Their first two incredible albums get nary a look-in in favour of some below par Seldom Seen Kid and Build a Rocket Boys album tracks. When they hit their stride – like on The Birds, Open Arms and Weather to Fly, they're still an impressive proposition and if they're the future of British stadium rock we'll certainly take them over Coldplay and Kasabian, thanks very much.
Kicking things off ridiculously early in the iArena is Catherine AD who appears to have heard a few Regina Spektor records and offers a mellow start to the small crowd that have crawled out of their tents for the early start. The set overruns a little, which has an adverse effect on Francois and the Atlas Mountains who can only squeeze in four songs before a midday finish. There's nothing else on the stage for another two and a half hours but the organisers seem to have insisted that no other music should clash with Chinese concert pianist Lang Lang on the Waterfront Stage and Rufus Wainwright's lunchtime guest slot. Francois and friends are as charming as ever though, and songs from this year's E Volo Love bring some Gallic pop love to Latitude. Just a shame they couldn't have played for longer.
We're then hit with some rank rotten musical choices. Benjamin Bloom is utterly dire and seems to have forgotten how bad the Darkness were first time out. Little better is Gabriel Bruce, coming on like a tragic version of ABC or Heaven 17. Worst of all are Alabama Shakes, playing to an enormous crowd on the Main Stage, many of whom will have been left over from Rufus' performance. The band have generated plenty of press on their own, but on the strength of this performance it's impossible to see why. Boring, standard pub rock that makes the Kings of Leon look edgy.
Salvation – of various senses of the word it seems – awaits with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. Frontman Alex Ebert is dressed as some kind of messianic figure and the band's 'thing' is very much happy clappy, vaguely sinister cultish-sounding indie folk-pop. There's a new album out but the songs from 2009′s Up From Below knock the spots off it, so it's an astute move by the band to keep the old stuff to the fore. Home, in particular, gets a resounding cheer after another foray into the crowd from Ebert. A few new converts today we think.
St Vincent popped up briefly last year guesting with the National, so it's lovely to see her back playing a set of her own. And quite the rock star she's become too, clad in leather shorts and a black top. Wielding her guitar like a curly haired Joan Jett, male hearts in the crowd are all a-flutter, but cuts from last year's Strange Mercy like Cheerleader and Cruel are outstanding and there are big, big things happening for this lady. Big things could be happening for Battles too, if only someone could sort out the bloody keyboard amp. The band and their crew spend ages trying to fix some unidentifiable fault and finally kick off almost half an hour late. We get Sweetie and Shag and Ice Cream, with piped in vocals and visuals from Kazu Makino and Matias Aguayo respectively, plus the towering Atlas. All are delivered with aplomb, all get feet shifting and all remind us of just how bloody good Battles are. But these math rock pioneers deserved more time to treat us to their clanging guitars, pounding drums and hissing keys. But once again, time constraints denied us.
Gentlemen's heart rates quicken again on the Main Stage for Bat for Lashes. Natasha Khan feels at home here and mixes things up nicely. Despite a third album being imminent, we only get a handful of new tunes, which all sound great, edging towards the thumping synthy sounds of Two Suns rather than the more organic feel of Fur and Gold. Songs from both those albums get space to breathe and mega-single Daniel wraps up with a big singalong. We also managed to catch the end of M83's set in the Word Arena and unlike their Glasgow show earlier this year, the band are full of energy and a closing Couleurs brings a massive rave-up to the tent. Genuinely scintillating stuff.
Lucy Rose is hardly what you'd call scintillating and nor is her gal 'n' guitar motif desperately original, but over some of Latitude's finest grub – seriously, it's awesome – it's plain to see why everyone from Radio 1 to 6 Music has been sniffing round her. The voice is strong and the tunes are good, which is more than you can say for a lot of other singer songwriters.
The Sun's threatening to go down as Perfume Genius tentatively start up on the iArena. Mike Hadreas' latest album Put Your Back In 2 It has been furnished with plaudits across the board and this woods-set stage is the perfect backdrop to his plaintive songs. Like a less grandiose Rufus Wainwright, his backing band is sparse but recent singles Hood and Dark Parts don't need heavy instrumentation. Perfume Genius is all about short bursts of minimalist melancholy, perfect for the encroaching twilight.
And so to our Main Stage headliner, Paul Weller, a man who's undergone a phenomenal creative and critical renaissance in the last few years. Such is his confidence in his last two albums, that little else gets a look in until a rousing version of Start! which gets hundreds of forty-something men to their feet. As good as his modern material is, let's face it, Weller wasn't getting away from here without a substantive rake through his back catalogue and the man duly obliges. Solo hits like Broken Stones get a burl, and even the presence of piss poor Weller acolyte Miles Kane can't ruin In The City. The Modfather says next to fuck all over the course of ninety minutes, but then even in 2012 Eton Rifles needs no explanation.
Once again Latitude Festival has delivered the goods. So who's up for next year?

07-18-2013, 04:41 AM #7nice, I like the silver. How are you liking it so far? and with you having the V6 as well, are you noticing any hard jerks when in stop and go traffic? mainly 2nd to 1st gears and vice versa?
07-19-2013, 07:39 AM #8Some better pics too
Love it! It's my wife's car and she does about 60% city'ish (more suburb) and 40% HWY, she's getting around 18mpg on that...NOT great, but the trade off for comfort & power offset it...so we're happy. The tranny has done some odd jolts a couple of times that we noticed...when slowing down to a stoplight, it seems to shudder...but not recently. It's going to make a great road trip car. And honestly, it's based off an old Opel design, but still looks totally modern. Drive's a little truckish at times..but I like that! Overall, I'd say we're totally happy with it....her..

Listen to The Wanted on iHeartRadio
Fresh off a surprisingly peaceful appearance at the Z100 Jingle Ball, the Wanted's Max George enjoyed the company of the woman quickly becoming the British boy band's biggest stateside fan: actress Lindsay Lohan, who pulled off the Herculean task of attending three Wanted concerts in one week. A mere two weeks since allegedly assaulting a female competitor for Max's attention after seeing the band open for Justin Bieber, the "Liz and Dick" star escorted the boy band on bus trips to Boston and Phildelphia before filling a seat at Madison Square Garden for the annual radio showcase. Either Lindsay is dating Max, or she's trying to re-enact the Rihanna plane experience all by herself.
Lohan had promised the Wanted she would show them a good time in NYC, and she did not disappoint, escorting the lads to the swishy Dream Hotel for a luxurious afterparty. Luckily, the paparazzi were on hand to document the experience. Can you spot any clues that point toward the true nature of Geohan's (it's early days yet, we'll come up with a better name if they last) relationship?
Interesting! But not quite as interesting as this:
Thank you, photographers, for documenting the fact that Lindsay Lohan carries an entire box of Pop-Tarts around with her in her purse.

Steam Train Driver for a Day
4 - 27 Nov 2013 – 9:00 am - 3:30 pm
If you have dreamed of being a train driver since a young child, then why not hop aboard the Great Whipsnade Railway and let that dream come to life.
If you have ever dreamed of driving a steam train, then why not do it on a track with a difference. Drive past Indian rhinos, Asian elephants, camels and deer going about their daily business. The experience is suitable for both beginners and for those who have driven a train before.
As well as driving the train for 8 miles on the 2ft 6 in narrow gauge heritage railway, you will get to go behind the scenes at our railway yard and find out what a typical day is actually like as a train driver on the Great Whipsnade Railway, better known to Zoo visitors as the Jumbo Express.
The experience
As an honorary steam train driver you will have the opportunity to shovel coal, test the brakes and couple carriages and of course handle the controls of a powerful steam locomotive. You will receive a full health and safety briefing upon arrival and the experience includes a complementary lunch and plenty of cups of tea and coffee to keep you going!
Dates available now for November 2013
The experience will initially run from 9.00am to 3.30pm.

When and why should you replace your guitar strings?
Depends on two factors:
Some strings, like "bright bronze", can lose their sound qualities after a few hours of playing. Others, like "silk and steel", can be played for 100 or more hours. The correct answer is: when you feel that sound isn't bright as it used to be, it is time to change strings. You can prolong string life time if you
| |||||||||||||||||||||
It's a bit subjective really, but when you put new strings on, you notice how bright they sound. Over time they become dull. I guess it just depends how long you can stand the dullness :) | |||
As often as you like! When I'm in a groove, playing 3-5 hours a day... I change them 1-2 a week. When I'm being more responsible with my time and only playing 1-3 hours per day, tend to change them 1-2 times a month. I change ALL the strings anytime one breaks (it effects the tensions on all the strings, after all, and I don't know what damage could have been done to them) or if the sound becomes dull to my ears. | |||||
I don't do it by a schedule. If they look dirty, I change them. If they stop holding a tune for very long, I change them. The more you play, the more often you should change them. | |||
I actually don't like the extra "shimmer" of new bronze strings on my acoustic guitar, but there's a bad sounding deadness with old strings too. I notice it most if I'm playing with someone else. I've been using coated strings like Elixir or Martin's coated strings for a few years. I like how they are a little less over-the-top shimmery at first, and how they last 2-5 times as long before going stale. Plus, I have several instruments and changing strings less often leaves more time for playing. | |||
There seems to be a general agreement among the answers here that strings go through several distinct phases:
You almost certainly want to change them before phase 4 (old), but among the first three, it's much more a matter of personal preference. My own preference is flatwound strings, as they generally age more slowly (and gracefully) than roundwound. Now, even when new, they're never going to be as bright as roundwounds. D'Addario Chromes are probably the brightest ones out there; but they're only Nickel-plated, so when the plating wears off they become dull very fast. So I switched to Thomastik Nickel-Flats, which are wrapped in pure Nickel: no plating to wear off. These go through the same phases as other strings but v e r y s l o w l y . It takes me about a month to wear them in (1-3 hrs/day), then they don't settle in to "seasoned" until 6-8 months old; then they'll stay that way for several years. That's right: years! The set I've got on my Yamaha is probably almost 4 years old, and I'm starting to consider replacing them. Soon. | |||||||||||||||||
It really depends on your personal preference and also on how much you play. The more you play, the more wear the string will end up with and the sooner you'll probably need to consider replacing the strings. If, however, you don't play all that much, you might not have to change the strings for quite a while. | |||
It really depends on how much you play. I usually change them every six months (more or less) and I think once in a year is the least you could do. | |||
It's more about what tone you like. Some people call the sound of new strings 'bright' but I think they sound more 'tinny' and harsh. I personally can't stand the tone of ANY new strings so it takes a while for me to break them in (a few days to a few weeks depending on how often I'm playing). Once they reach that 'sweet spot' in tonality I usually try to make them last as long as I can before they get so dull that I can't stand them any more (usually a few months). If I'm being lazy, I'll get a damp cloth (and soap helps) and clean the strings without removing them from the guitar. It's not the best solution, but it's often better than starting over from scratch with brand new strings. | |||
If you're like me, you just get a set of string rusty in at most ten hours of playing! Where it shows the most, though, is usually on the lowest frets : your strings tend to lose their shine in that area. My first marker is always the A on the G string... Still, it depends on the tone a lot; I myself like the shiny new strings but it wears off quickly and I feel comfortable with these softer high frequencies (but then, my comfort zone would be in the grungy/stoner area, so there you go). | |||
I play many hours per week (25-35hrs), I only change the strings if they sound dire and even then only for gigs/recording, if nothing is happening that week, I don't bother, this is just personal preference born out of my laziness; changing strings is a pain, I just want to play so I only change the strings when I have to. In dire strait's, a light clean with brasso or similar metal polish brings old strings back nicely for a while. | |||
Yes, it's subjective, but not as much as you might think. The string's ability to sustain tone becomes compromised the dirtier it gets. This is less important if you're playing muddy rock than it is if you play strictly acoustic. I hear the tonal sustain disintegrate faster the longer the strings are used. I first noticed it while tuning. I change my strings about once a week. Any time I'm performing, I change my strings a day before. New strings sound better. Changing strings is like doing laundry. You don't like it, but you gotta do it. | |||
I have three major reasons to change strings: When One Breaks - I generally believe that when a string breaks, especially if it isn't the high E, that is a sign that the rest of the strings are ready to go. When I Want To Try Something Different - My #1 guitar, a top-loader Tele, has had Not Even Slinky strings, White Bronze acoustic strings, .009s, .010s, and now has .008-.038 angel-hair strings, simply because I wanted to try the slinky, bend-heavy style that such a setup would allow. I'm sure I will eventually go back to .010s (I have 4 packs waiting) but I don't feel the need to play out my strings before I pull out a new set if I'm curious. When someone gives me new strings - I've gone to GearFest the last two years, and they offer free restringing, which I usually take advantage of. If I recorded, I might want bright, new sounding strings more often. If I toured and jumped around under hot lights, I might switch 'em every show just because the sweat would wreck 'em or just because I could put .010 EBs on my rider. But I don't. | |||
To me the the final death of the strings comes at the point where they lose their elasticity and the guitar starts going out of tune way too quick. I have never had the nerves to go past this moment. Usually I change them when most of them becomes black (dirty). For Elixir Strings (which last longer, because of the nanoweb) this means about 2-3 months of casual playing. | |||
I use Elixir strings on my main gigging guitars, generally 009's so fairly thin, and I usually get around 3 months out of them before I feel they are getting rusty and starting to have that atonal squeak sound. When I change one I change them all as I have Floyd Rose or Kahler trems on most of my guitars - and the same goes if one snaps: I replace the lot. To make them last this long I do use fast fret every time before I play, and I wipe them down afterwards with a cloth. My acoustics don't get played anywhere near as much so I change the top E maybe once a year, and as they have fixed bridges I only change a broken string, not the full set. Seems to work for me. | |||

Can't help but see his $4.25 mill price cap hit that carries through to 14-15 and think back to Keith Ballard last year. Granted, Ballard seems to be bouncing back this year but when guys like Nolan Baumgartner were playing over him in the finals, it's tough not to wonder if that contract came at the expensive of another core piece and possibly cost us the cup.
Booth hasn't really been the same player since the concussions, but a change of scenery and some better linemates could have him back to 30 goal form.
I don't know what do you guys think?

Atrophied in Anguish
It's always a rather interesting and humbling experience as a reviewer to cover a band that has been toiling away in almost complete obscurity for as long as Germany's Obscenity has. I was initially anticipating a young band of upstarts, but Obscenity's first release dates all the way back to 1992, and they have put out albums consistently since their formation, with Atrophied in Anguish being their eighth full-length overall.
Without being too snarky, it's becomes a little easier to understand why Obscenity hasn't really found an audience up until this point, if their music on this album is representative of their body of work as a whole. A busy and somewhat scatterbrained mixture of several different interpretations of death metal, Atrophied in Anguish is the kind of album that never really establishes a true identity for itself, despite doing plenty of things right in terms of execution. On a presentation level, this album has the trappings of a group of experienced musicians, but I just couldn't connect with what the band was trying to do artistically -- the style on display here is a little too hard to get a bead on, and in this case a little more niche-pandering would have served them well.
Obscenity's brand of somewhat technical, slightly polished, marginally raw death metal falls right in the middle ground between old- and new-school -- call it middle-school death metal, if you will. In this case, this means that the band borrows an equal number of tricks from both camps, tying it all together with somewhat repetitive song structures that are restrained but still fairly multifaceted. There's an almost equal balance of muddy tremolo, acrobatic fretboard heroics, and modern Behemoth-esque arena stand downs, topped off by some fairly obnoxious gruff vocals and some interesting forays into melodic guitar work.
It sounds pretty good in principle, but throughout listening to Atrophied in Anguish, I couldn't shake the feeling that everything I was hearing had been done better elsewhere. I didn't find many of the hooks the band offers to be very memorable, and there's a distinct lack of character that emerges from Obscenity's efforts to cover too many disparate bases at once. The occasional Gothenburg-influenced melodic guitar interplay and modern tech-styled riffing tropes means the music lacks any of the darkness or atmosphere that one would seek out in death metal's more evil corridors, and the rather accessible and pedestrian song structures means that the band fails to ignite excitement and awe in the same way that today's best tech-death bands are capable of doing. The grating and omnipresent vocals certainly don't help matters; singer Jeff Rudes has a decent tone, but the embarrassing lyrics he constantly spews forth are entirely too intelligible for their own good, and his attempts at rousing choruses come across as silly rather than powerful.
There's several things worth commending about Atrophied in Anguish, the solid production, inspiring guitar solos and leads, and strong drum performance being the primary examples. But ultimately, despite some intriguing ideas in terms of genre-blending and use of melody, Obscenity's newest effort is a pretty bland and forgettable venture. It replicates the tricks of a variety of other bands with decent success, but ultimately lacks the spark and inspiration that would make me want to keep coming back for more.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by MacBeth I like the color
I really like these shoes, they're so cute and they fit great, I wish they would be a little more wide but I really like them. I just don't like how the laces are so long, and I don't know what I want to do with them. If I tie the laces in a bow then the bows are huge but I can't tuck the laces inside the shoe because that would look weird so how they're laced, and I don't want to relace them.
