A California company has bought the 432-unit Jamesbridge Apartments at 3689 James Road in Raleigh for $3.6 million.
Advantage Way LLC, which lists a Vista, Calif., address, acquired the Class C multifamily complex in a June 6 special warranty deed from 215-39 Jamesbridge Holdings LLC.
The seller was a single-purpose special servicer related to Bethesda, Md.-based CWCapital Asset Management LLC. It bought the multifamily property in February following a foreclosure for $7.5 million in a substitute trustee's deed from R. Spencer Clift III of Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz PC.
A first-run foreclosure notice was filed in January against the former owner, Jamesbridge Group LLC, which had defaulted on a $13.5 million loan through Lehman Brothers Bank FSB dated Sept. 21, 2006, and later owned by LaSalle Bank NA.
The Jamesbridge sits on 29.8 acres on the south side of James Road in Raleigh. Its addresses are listed as either 3689 James Road or 3815 Advantage Way Drive, between Jackson Avenue and Highland Road.
The complex contains 351,020 square feet and is dotted with lakes and pedestrian bridges. Its 2013 appraised value is $7.3 million, according to the Shelby County Assessor of Property.
Built in 1986, the complex has 24 three-story buildings, each with 18 one- and two-bedroom units. It also has a clubhouse/office building and swimming pool.
Jamesbridge Group bought the property in 2006 for $15.7 million from Jamesbridge Associates LP, financing it with the loan that went into default.

FedEx Corp. is trying to adjust as customers shy away from the most expensive express-delivery services partly by controlling costs.
The company will update investors on its progress when it reports fiscal fourth-quarter results before the market opens on Wednesday. Analysts expect slightly lower profit but higher revenue.
Because customers span so many industries, FedEx and other package-delivery firms are considered a gauge of the broader economy.
Recently, FedEx has seen a slump in high-end express-delivery services as businesses and consumers save money by switching to cheaper but slower shipping options. The company is adding new services, such as letting recipients reschedule a home delivery for an extra fee.
FedEx is in the midst of a plan to cut annual costs by $1.7 billion by 2016, including buyouts designed to trim its work force by at least 10 percent by next May.
Analysts expect that the Memphis-based company will earn $1.96 per share, excluding special items such as severance costs, on revenue of $11.46 billion, according to a FactSet survey.
The company has forecast earnings between $1.90 and $2.10 per share.
In the same quarter of 2012, FedEx reported net income of $550 million, or $1.73 per share. Excluding a write-down of aircraft, the company's adjusted earnings would've been $1.99 per share. Revenue was $11 billion.

The Greater Memphis Chamber is launching a campaign, #MEMLUV: Rewards4Rewards, to welcome Southwest Airlines and to encourage Memphis residents to enroll in the airline's Southwest Rapid Rewards program.
Like many air carriers, Southwest carefully measures local enrollment in its frequent flier program, Rapid Rewards, as a gauge of local demand. The company also measures customers who use its Rapid Rewards Premier Card from New York-based JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The Greater Memphis Chamber, along with the Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Mid-South Air Service aims to sign up at least 50,000 new area Rapid Rewards members by Nov. 30.

The Shelby County Commission approved Monday, June 17, a set of three ordinances on third and final reading Monday that push back the effective date for new seismic measures for new home construction and renovations of existing buildings until the end of 2013.
Developers and homebuilders called for the delay as they work to amend the code by the end of the year. They are concerned the new standards could drive up costs and dampen a recovering environment for home construction in particular.
Members of the West Tennessee Structural Engineers Association opposed a delay saying the county codes should reflect the city's location near the New Madrid earthquake fault and the earthquake risk. They also questioned whether the new standards would drive up construction costs.
The commission also delayed action on the appointment of Julie Furr to the Memphis and Shelby County Building Code Board for three weeks. Furr, project manager at Chad Stewart and Associates Inc. of Millington, was among the structural engineers who spoke against a delay of the new seismic code at the June 3 commission meeting.
Meanwhile, the commission approved the appointment by Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell of Cassandra Bell Warren as the newest member of the Memphis and Shelby County Land Use Control Board.

The Northwest Tennessee Entrepreneur Center and Memphis Bioworks Foundation are collaborating to launch an agriculture innovation accelerator this summer.
The goal of the program will be to help launch and grow new agricultural businesses. It will be a cohort-based business accelerator that leverages the strength of the nine counties served by The Northwest Tennessee Entrepreneur Center that have significant assets related to agricultural crop production, livestock and logistics. For the new program, up to eight companies will be chosen to go through a six-month round of business instruction and mentorship, and at the end, they'll pitch their business plans to a group of investors.
The program will support entrepreneurs commercializing a range of agriculture-related technologies, things like precision agriculture and software, grain handling and storage, food processing and more.

What Anime Character(s) Do You Resemble?
Just wondering If anyone here resembles/looks like/acts like any anime Character(s) in real life??? And when I mean Looks like and acts like you don't do it purposley but it is who you are and that chacters acts just like you do. I checked to make sure there was not a thread already like this . . . . if there was I am sorry in advance . . . I searched and did not find one like this
Amazingly, no ironically, Gudnam Wing is my Favorite Anime more than likely becasue I resemble 3 of the characters in the series . . .
Duo - Whenever anything serious happens I am always cool with it and I don't get into a panic but instead just deal with it.
Heero Yuy - Before I even saw the series I was quiet like him . . I saw the series and I was like "he doesn't talk much or smile in public much . . . just like me"
Relena Peacecraft - no not her crazy side or total pacifism . . . her kind gentle side, I tend to forgive people when they do harm to me and I won't give up miy values so easily like she doesn't either.
so there is the low down on me and resemblances . . . I'm sure as I watch more Anime I will find better characters I can relate to even more but this is the closest for me . . .
So who do you resemble??? Also the character does not have to be one that you like either, just the closest resemblance to you.

Well, if i would have to pick one character that resembles my personality....hm.... bleh, can't do it with one - something of a mix between Kyon(Haruhi) and Junichi(Da Capo) with more references to the first.
The "what a drag" attitude Junichi has towards life perfectly resembles how i view things He is also lazy as hell, which is definitely me. And much like Kyon, i have an abundant amount of sarcasm within me, but i try not to show it that much (again - much like Kyon - he also keeps his comments to himself mostly) because people often don't understand it and tend to get offended by it. I let all hell loose when i'm with my closest friends tho ^^.

I'd say I am a cross between Benny from Black Lagoon and Light from Death Note. Except I'm a little more of a pussy and I'm not as psychotic as Light, but I'm able to keep my cool even at the most hairiest of situations.

Hmm... resemblence... bleh. Sendo (Hajime no Ippo) with less crazy and shorter hair? XD
Personality-wise, I'll go with the blender mix of the following:
Sakura Yoshino (Da Capo)
Mion Sonozaki (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni)
Hatori Sohma (Fruits Basket)
Noriyasu Seta (Love Hina)
Shishio Makoto (Rurouni Kenshin)
I think that's my mix of hyperness, madness, charisma, coolness, and forgetfulness. XD

I'm like Haruhi Suzumiya. Seriously. Except I don't force people so directly (I.e. Brute force), I care more about what other people think and i'm a guy.
Don't say it is scary.
PD: And I tend to listen to people. I listen but I mentally ignore them.

I guess I'm something of a hybrid between Quatre(Gundam Wing), Kyon(SHnY), Shikamaru(Naruto) and Satou(Welcome to the NHK).
Quatre for being a nice guy that nobody really hates, but isn't anyone's favorite either .
Kyon for the cynical remarks and suggested improvements to life in general, but not said out loud.
Shikamaru for being laid back and the #care attitude.
Satou for not being able to sustain myself really(I can't cook or do housework like shit) and always lacking money to buy (luxury) goods.

- Put up a thumbnail. Specifically, a small doodly line drawing, at 250x400px or something within that ballpark. Accompany it with a description of about 10 words.
- Whoever wants to take a stab at it, make a full-sized picture, complying with the general layout of the thumbnail and with the description, but otherwise taking it in your own direction.
- Anyone can post a new thumbnail, but give people a chance to do the previous one before starting a new one.

Douglas Wellman's new book "Boxes: The Secret Life of Howard Hughes" has been released and is available at major online book retailers.
The book tells the tale of Hughe's secret life under the assumed identity of Verner "Nik" Nicely, from the point of view of his wife, Eva McLelland. Her discovery that her eccentric Midwestern husband was really the great Howard Hughes was difficult, to say the least, and sent her on a path she had never expected to take.
"Eva's story was hard to understand and even harder to accept. Without knowing where it would lead, a colleague of mine began to research her story and her husband's previous identity. Piece by piece, Eva's tale checked out, strange as it was. The book finally makes sense of the numerous inconsistencies in the Hughes legend," said Wellman.
Wellman began his career as a television writer, producer, and director, working on such shows as "The Facts of Life". He has more than 1,000 comedy credits, 20 of which were comedy specials for Showtime, as well as hundreds of credits for episodes of talk and magazine format shows. He has received a regional Emmy Award and a CableAce Award. He is currently the assistant dean of the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California and is a consultant to the Red Sea Institute of Cinematic Arts in Aqaba, Jordan.
The book is published by WriteLife LLC, a collaborative publishing company based in Omaha, Nebraska. For more information: WriteLife.com.

No. 91,395
DANIEL W. CORBETT, an Individual,
1. In a negligence action, when a plaintiff sues an employee, and an employer on a respondeat superior theory, and subsequently settles with, releases, and agrees to hold harmless the employee, the employer is also effectively released from the case. Following Atkinson v. Wichita Clinic, P.A., 243 Kan. 705, 763 P.2d 1085 (1988), and Jacobson v. Parrill, 186 Kan. 467, 351 P.2d 194 (1960).
2. The holding in Mulroy v. Olberding, 29 Kan. App. 2d 757, 30 P.3d 1050 (2001), rev. denied 273 Kan. 1036 (2002), is discussed and distinguished.
Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; DAVID W. KENNEDY, judge. Opinion filed August 20, 2004. Affirmed.
Frank R. Cobb and Devoe G. Treadwell, of Wichita, for the appellant.
Jerald W. Rogers, of Triplett, Woolf & Garretson, LLC, of Wichita, for the appellee, Westaff, Inc.
Before GREENE, P.J., McANANY, J., and BRAZIL, S.J.
BRAZIL, J.: Alayna Cobb appeals from the trial court's order dismissing her negligence action against Westaff, Inc. (Westaff).
Alayna Cobb was injured when she and Danny Corbett collided in a car accident in November 2000. In November 2002, Cobb brought a negligence action against Corbett, Farmer's Insurance Company, Inc. (Farmer's), and Westaff. Cobb's action against Westaff, Corbett's employer, was based on the theory of respondeat superior.
Cobb subsequently settled with Corbett and Farmer's for the sum of $50,000 and executed a release in their favor. In the release, Cobb agreed to discharge Corbett and Farmer's from "any and all rights, claims, demands and damages of any kind, known or unknown, existing or arising in the future, resulting from or related to bodily injury arising" from the November 2000 accident. Language in the release also provided that $50,000 was all the money Cobb would receive from Corbett and Farmer's "for any and all of my claims as a result of this accident." An addendum to the release provided that Cobb would not be prohibited from pursuing her claims against other legally responsible parties, including Corbett's employer.
In February 2003, Cobb filed an amended petition against Corbett and Westaff. Again, Cobb's action against Westaff was based on the theory of respondeat superior. In its answer to the amended petition, Westaff set forth several defenses, including that the petition failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted and that Cobb's claims were barred by the law of release and satisfaction. In August 2003, Westaff moved to dismiss the action, alleging Cobb's petition failed to establish a claim against Westaff. Westaff asserted that releasing an employee in exchange for settlement proceeds also releases the employer when the action is based on respondeat superior. Thus, Cobb's action of releasing Corbett from the case effectively released Westaff.
The trial court conducted a hearing in August 2003. The trial court noted that the action against Westaff was based solely on a theory of respondent superior and there was no independent liability of Westaff. The trial court found as a matter of law that when a plaintiff settles with and gives an absolute release to a particular defendant, the plaintiff cannot then sue and recover from the defendant's employer based on a respondeat superior theory. The trial court relied on our Supreme Court's decisions in York v. InTrust Bank, N.A., 265 Kan. 271, 962 P.2d 405 (1998), and Atkinson v. Wichita Clinic, P.A., 243 Kan. 705, 763 P.2d 1085 (1988). The trial court granted Westaff's motion to dismiss. In November 2003, Corbett was dismissed as a defendant in the case.
We agree and affirm.
This appeal arises from the trial court's grant of Westaff's motion to dismiss. The trial court granted the motion to dismiss based on Cobb's settlement and release of her claim against Corbett. In Goldbarth v. Kansas State Board of Regents, 269 Kan. 881, 885, 9 P.3d 1251 (2000), our Supreme Court noted that when matters outside the pleading are presented to and not excluded by the court, a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim shall be treated as one for summary judgment. Because the evidence relating to Cobb's settlement and release of her claim against Corbett was a matter outside her pleading, we apply a summary judgment standard of review.
"Summary judgment is appropriate when the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The trial court is required to resolve all facts and inferences which may reasonably be drawn from the evidence in favor of the party against whom the ruling is sought. When opposing a motion for summary judgment, an adverse party must come forward with evidence to establish a dispute as to a material fact. In order to preclude summary judgment, the facts subject to the dispute must be material to the conclusive issues in the case. On appeal, we apply the same rules and where we find reasonable minds could differ as to the conclusions drawn from the evidence, summary judgment must be denied. Bergstrom v. Noah, 266 Kan. 847, 871-72, 974 P.2d 531 (1999)." Bracken v. Dixon Industries, Inc., 272 Kan. 1272, 1274-75, 38 P.3d 679 (2002).
The sole question on appeal is whether the trial court erred in its conclusion that the settlement and release of Cobb's claim against Corbett barred any further action against Westaff based on a respondeat superior theory. "The effect of a release or covenant not to sue is a legal question, over which we have unlimited review." York, 265 Kan. 271, Syl. ¶ 1.
In reaching its conclusion, the trial court relied on Atkinson and York. Atkinson involved facts similar to those in the instant case in that the plaintiffs sued both the doctor and the doctor's employer for medical malpractice. The suit against the employer was based solely on the theory of respondeat superior. The plaintiffs subsequently settled with the doctor but explicitly reserved their right to proceed against the doctor's employer. The plaintiffs agreed to hold the doctor harmless for any obligations of the employer to them. Upon a motion to dismiss, the trial court dismissed the claim against the clinic. In affirming the trial court's decision, our Supreme Court noted that the employer's liability was based solely on the doctor's acts and not on any independent acts of negligence. Our Supreme Court held that although the plaintiffs intended to preserve their action against the employer by executing a covenant not to sue instead of a full release, the settlement with the doctor combined with the hold harmless agreement removed any basis for imputing liability to the employer for the doctor's acts. 243 Kan. at 714.
Included within our Supreme Court's decision in Atkinson was a discussion of Jacobson v. Parrill, 186 Kan. 467, 351 P.2d 194 (1960). There, the plaintiffs were the surviving wife and children of Jacobson, who had been killed in an automobile collision. The plaintiffs brought separate suits against Cochran, who was the driver of the other car, and Parrill, who was the owner of the other car. The claim against Parrill was based solely on a respondeat superior theory. The plaintiffs subsequently settled with Cochran's estate and insurance company but reserved their right to proceed against Parrill. The plaintiffs agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Cochran's estate for any claims arising from Jacobson's death. Parrill sought dismissal of the claim against him, arguing this settlement barred any further action against him. The trial court dismissed the action. Our Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's decision, finding that the plaintiffs' acceptance of full satisfaction of the judgment against Cochran's estate effectively extinguished their claim against Parrill. 186 Kan. at 469-72, 476. In making this decision, our Supreme Court stated:
"It does not appear this court has previously decided the question, but by the weight of authority of courts of this country which have considered the matter, a judgment against an active tort-feasor establishes the full limit of liability against other persons who are only derivatively liable as under the doctrine of respondeat superior for the active tort-feasor's wrongful act [citations omitted], and the satisfaction of such a judgment extinguishes any right of action for derivative liability. [Citations omitted.]
"Clearly, under the allegations of the petition, Parrill did nothing to cause the plaintiff to suffer any more damages than were caused by the alleged active tort of Cochran, and the amount of those damages were established by the judgment against Cochran's estate. The admitted full satisfaction of that judgment fully extinguished the cause of action for Cochran's wrongful act, which is a bar to the plaintiff's prosecution of the present purely derivative liability action against Parrill. Our cases dealing with the release of joint, concurring or successive tort-feasors and the reservation of rights against the others [citations omitted] are inapplicable to the question presented in this appeal." 186 Kan. at 474-75.
Both Jacobson and Atkinson were cited in York, 265 Kan. at 284. In York, our Supreme Court set forth the rule that "[a] release or covenant not to sue an agent also releases a principal who is purely vicariously liable for imputed negligence under a theory of respondeat superior." 265 Kan. 271, Syl. ¶ 3. This rule did not apply to the facts in that case, however, because defendant InTrust had independently engaged in tortious conduct. 265 Kan. at 286-87.
The holdings in Jacobson and Atkinson, which are further supported by our Supreme Court's discussion of these cases in York establish that when a plaintiff sues an employee, and an employer on a respondeat superior theory, and subsequently settles with, releases, and agrees to hold harmless the employee, the employer is also effectively released from the case. Applying these holdings to the instant case, Cobb's settlement with Corbett and Farmer's, coupled with the agreement to discharge Corbett and Farmer's from any claims for Cobb's injuries from the accident, operated to bar Cobb's respondeat superior claim against Westaff.
Nevertheless, Cobb believes that reliance on these cases is misplaced. Cobb asserts that Atkinson refers to cases, including Jacobson, which were decided prior to the enactment of the comparative negligence statute, K.S.A. 60-258a, in 1974. In addition, Cobb points out that York is factually distinguishable. Cobb asserts that since the adoption of comparative negligence in Kansas, the courts have moved away from theories that would bar recovery from a principal based on vicarious liability after the injured party has released the agent.
Cobb cites to Luther v. Danner, 268 Kan. 343, 995 P.2d 865 (2000), where our Supreme Court discussed the rule to be applied in Kansas when a release is executed in favor of one or more parties in a comparative negligence case. It is important to note that Luther did not involve the same issue as that in the case at hand. Instead, the issue on appeal in Luther was whether the general release of one party effectively released other parties who were comparatively at fault. In Luther, our Supreme Court discussed the flat bar rule, the specific identity rule, and the intent rule. Under the flat bar rule, the release of one tortfeasor operates to release all others. This rule stems from the concept "of the indivisible wrong of joint and several liability." 268 Kan. at 347-48. In contrast to the flat bar rule, the specific identity rule discharges only the parties that are named in the release. Between the flat bar rule and the specific identity rule is the intent rule, which allows the parties' intentions to govern.
Luther quoted a significant portion of this court's decision in Geier v. Wikel, 4 Kan. App. 2d 188, 603 P.2d 1028 (1979), which discussed the effect of releases under comparative negligence principles in Kansas:
"'An injured party whose claim for damages is exclusively subject to the Kansas comparative negligence statute may now settle with any person or entity whose fault may have contributed to the injuries without that settlement in any way affecting his or her right to recover from any other party liable under the act. The injured party is entitled to keep the advantage of his or her bargaining, just as he or she must live with an inadequate settlement should the jury determine larger damages or a larger proportion of fault than the injured party anticipated when the settlement was reached. It follows that the type of release given will have no effect on any party not specifically named in the instrument.' 4 Kan. App. 2d at 190.
In addition, the Court of Appeals quoted from a similar resolution to a similar question in Stueve v. American Honda Motors Co., Inc., 457 F. Supp. 740, 748-49 (D. Kan. 1978):
'"[S]ince a given defendant in a case governed by K.S.A. 60-258a can be held liable in any event only for that percentage of injury attributable to his fault, a release of that defendant cannot inure to the benefit of potential co-defendants. Under former rules of joint liability, to release one defendant unconditionally may have been viewed as relinquishment of the right to recover one's entire damages from a party liable, and thus as extinguishing the action as to potential defendants who stand as third-party beneficiaries to the release. This cannot be the case in an action under K.S.A. 60-258a."' 4 Kan. App. 2d at 190." 268 Kan. at 350-51.
The Luther court went on to adopt the specific identity rule set forth in Geier, stating that:
"Once comparative fault principles replaced those of joint and several liability, the earlier rule that 'boilerplate universal release language' could extinguish rights no longer fit the theory of wrongdoing. Because the boilerplate language continued to appear in release instruments, our courts formulated an approach that harmonizes with the current tort theory. The approach, moreover, affords protection to the settling party by creating a presumption against wholesale discharge and affords protection to the nonsettling tortfeasors by making it rebuttable." 268 Kan. at 351-52.
In Mulroy v. Olberding, 29 Kan. App. 2d 757, 30 P.3d 1050 (2001), rev. denied 273 Kan. 1036 (2002), a respondeat superior case, this court applied the reasoning in Luther. The court ultimately found that the release of the employee from the lawsuit did not operate to release the employer. Under the facts, Mulroy sued Olberding after they were involved in an automobile accident. Mulroy also sued Olberding's employer, Western Resources, Inc. (Western), on a respondeat superior theory. At a hearing regarding jury instructions on the day before trial, there was a suggestion by Mulroy that a particular jury instruction be given. Western's counsel suggested that Olberding be taken out of the case so that Mulroy could get his instruction. When the hearing resumed after the noon recess, Mulroy asked the trial court to dismiss Olberding. Mulroy advised he would proceed solely against Western. When the trial court asked for comments, Western's counsel said that he would comment after the ruling. The trial court dismissed Olberding with prejudice. Western's counsel immediately moved for dismissal, arguing that Mulroy could no longer proceed on a claim of vicarious liability once Olberding was dismissed. The trial court agreed and granted the dismissal with prejudice. 29 Kan. App. 2d at 757-61.
Mulroy appealed the trial court's decision, and this court determined that because Kansas applies the specific identity rule in negligent tort cases, there was no general release. 29 Kan. App. 2d at 763. This court went on to state:
"Western, in essence, is arguing the dismissal with prejudice of Olberding is a general release of all tortfeasors. Such an interpretation attempts to breathe life back into the flat bar rule in comparative negligence cases. Although the liability of Western is premised upon respondeat superior, the controlling fact in Mulroy's cause of action was the comparative negligence of Olberding and Mulroy. Thus, the specific identity rule for releases in comparative negligence cases applies." 29 Kan. App. 2d at 766.
The Mulroy court noted that Atkinson and York are factually distinguishable because the plaintiffs in those cases received actual settlements from the released tortfeasors. In contrast, Mulroy received no settlement from Olberding for the dismissal. 29 Kan. App. 2d at 766.
The instant case is also factually distinguishable from Mulroy. Cobb settled her claim against Corbett for the sum of $50,000. She agreed to discharge Corbett from "any and all rights, claims, demands and damages of any kind, known or unknown, existing or arising in the future, resulting from or related to bodily injury" from the November 2000 accident. In addition, Cobb agreed she would not receive any additional money from Corbett "for any and all of my claims as a result of this accident." Different from the facts of Mulroy, Cobb received satisfaction of her claim against Corbett before extinguishing his liability.
As discussed previously, the facts of this case fit squarely within our Supreme Court's decisions in Atkinson and Jacobson. Specifically, these holdings establish that when a plaintiff brings a negligence action against an employee and an employer on a respondeat superior theory and subsequently settles with, releases, and agrees to hold harmless the employee, the employer is also released from the action. Atkinson was decided after comparative negligence liability was adopted in Kansas and also after this court set forth the specific identity rule in Geier, 4 Kan. App. 2d 188. This court in Mulroy, although applying the specific identity rule, did not change the rule set forth in Atkinson. Because Mulroy was decided on different factual circumstances, the holding is inapplicable to the facts of this case.

International fame just doesn't happen to many classical composers. But when it does, it can strike like a runaway train.
Consider Thomas Adès. Hailed in his 20s as the heir to Benjamin Britten and more recently by the New York Times as maybe "the most accomplished overall musician before the public today," Adès has long been accustomed to accolades and the pressure of high expectations. But two years ago, when noises were first being made for coordinated festivities in different musical capitals to observe his 40th birthday, the British composer said that he felt a bit trapped.
"The first thing I thought was 'Really?' It all seemed so pompous or grandiloquent," Adès recalled. "We should be looking forward to celebrate rather than looking back."
Adès turned down the idea of a grand musical retrospective, instead spending his birthday on March 1 with friends and family in his native London. Less lofty and better suited, he believes, to his personal tastes as a musical collaborator and curator is the upcoming Los Angeles Philharmonic festival "Aspects of Adès."
Programmed and put together by the composer, "Aspects of Adès" begins on March 14 with the first of five programs at Walt Disney Concert Hall. While his prodigious talents as a composer, pianist and conductor will be displayed with performances of two of his newest compositions, Adès shares the festival with world premieres by other composers, most notably, a new opera by Irish composer Gerald Barry. Adès will lead the L.A. Phil in three subscription programs, including its first-ever performance of Olivier Messiaen's vast and visionary "Éclairs sur l'au-delà" ("Illuminations of the Beyond").
"Aspects of Adès" cements a close creative partnership that the composer has had with the Los Angeles Philharmonic for the last four seasons. Over that same period, he has also made the city a home. When he's not on tour or at his home and "headquarters" in London's Covent Garden neighborhood, he lives in a gray, inconspicuous house nestled in a Hollywood Hills cul-de-sac.
Los Angeles has been a special place for Adès, ever since he played in a Green Umbrella concert in 1996. "I never thought that L.A. was about swimming pools and sun," he said at his house. "Of course, everything is glamorous here, but it wasn't about that.
"I thought, here was a place with this open access to the people who are really making things happen in the arts somehow."
When the late philanthropist and arts maven Betty Freeman gave Adès his first tour of Los Angeles in 1996 (preserved in a photograph included in one of Freeman's published albums), Adès admitted looking "very English, very awkward and straight off the boat." He has since acclimated to what he considers the city's many creative and "surreal" charms. "You really feel that L.A. is a place where the extreme, the really out-there can flourish," Adès said. "In some cities the radical can become mainstream very sort of slickly and easily, and suddenly its sting is drawn. But I don't feel that here."
Reclining in his sitting room wearing designer sunglasses, T-shirt, jeans and Converse sneakers, Adès gave a casual impression, undermined occasionally by booming nervous laughter that punctuates his sentences. Adès gives relatively few interviews. He said that he prefers his music to speak for itself.
"I feel about my pieces a bit perhaps like a parent. I am not them, and they are not me. And I didn't want to be a kind of an embarrassing dad," he said. "If I perhaps stayed in the background a bit and try to put the music more in the foreground, I'm more comfortable."
Though much of Adès' music has been heard in Los Angeles the last few years, it eludes easy description. No two works sound much alike, and his music typically involves a kind of unpredictability, playful juxtaposition of extremes and heady originality that can leave audiences both disoriented and elated. Proof positive is the 2007 symphonic work "Tevot," recently released on CD by EMI with the Berlin Philharmonic. Beginning with stratospheric scampering in the strings, the work takes several hairpin turns before ending with a lush, hypnotic melody that envelops the listener like a warm blanket.
"I have always been struck by how easily he could make something very rich and strong out of something very simple," said pianist Nicolas Hodges, a longtime colleague of Adès' who studied music alongside him at Cambridge. "I think his music has a depth that is not in a lot of contemporary music these days."
You might also want to add ambition and scope. Adès has tackled Shakespeare and Genesis, the first with his opera "The Tempest," which premiered in 2004 at the Royal Opera House, and the latter with "In Seven Days," which had its first L.A. performance in 2008. Subtitled "concerto for piano with moving image, "In Seven Days" is a cooperative effort with creative partner and video artist Tal Rosner and will be heard again during the upcoming festival with Hodges at the piano and Adès conducting.
"Collaborating with Tom is a very intense and personal experience," said Hodges, saying he loves performing "In Seven Days" despite an unrelenting piano part that ties together the work's seven movements.
Adès is determined to think big. "Whether it's ambitious or not, I've got no choice," he said.
Creative boldness and risk-taking characterize the rest of "Aspects of Adès." The festival will include the West Coast premiere of Adès' String Quartet No. 2, "The Four Quarters," which was commissioned by the Emerson String Quartet and will be performed by the ensemble on the opening March 14 concert. Adès said part of the quartet's inspiration comes from the 1991 Jim Jarmusch film "Night on Earth," which simultaneously tells several stories from different corners of the world.
The new symphonic work "Polaris," which helped inaugurate the Frank Gehry-designed New World Center performing hall in Miami in January, will help bring the festival to a close April 9. Incorporating themes of ocean navigation and the magnetic pull of musical notes, the 12-minute brass-heavy piece — a so-called voyage for orchestra — also includes a video component by Rosner, who was partly inspired by Rockwell Kent's illustrations for Melville's "Moby-Dick."
As a programmer, Adès has had 10 years' experience as the artistic director of the Aldeburgh Festival, the prestigious music festival in England founded by Britten. Eighteen months of planning have gone into the L.A. festival, with virtually free rein from the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Adès said, in choosing repertoire.
"I like doing something that probably no one else would really do," he said. "It takes a really enlightened orchestra and management to let that happen." Viewing himself less as a purveyor of musical tastes and more as a "channel" or guide introducing unfamiliar works to the public, Adès said that selecting the pieces wasn't too hard: "I just had to work the big things that I obviously felt needed to happen here but also felt could happen here."
Topping Adès' list was Messiaen's "Éclairs sur l'au-delà," a massive late work by the French composer that neither the L.A. Phil nor Adès has worked on before. "Messiaen was really one composer that you were supposed to kind of grow out of, people would often say slightly sort of dismissively. I just find it more and more and more wonderful," said Adès. "The artists who are more different from you can sort of love all the more because there's no overlap."
Adès' musical heroes Stravinsky, György Ligeti and Conlon Nancarrow also made the cut. Different from the L.A. Phil's presentation of Stravinsky's "Les Noces" a couple of seasons ago, the festival performance will feature the native Russian choral singing of the Dimitri Pokrovsky Ensemble. The first time that Adès heard the group perform it, he said, "I had just realized that this obviously was the sound Stravinsky had in his head, no question about it."
The remaining composers in "Aspects of Adès" have more of a personal connection to the composer. Young Spanish composer Francisco Coll — "the nearest thing I've ever had to a student," said Adès — receives the world premiere of his work "Piedras" at a Green Umbrella concert on April 5. The greatest wild card of the festival occurs days later with the premiere of Barry's opera "The Importance of Being Earnest," an adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play. Adès calls Barry one of the "last musical radicals" and has championed the surreal-sounding music of the 58-year-old composer in a prior Green Umbrella concert. This time, however, Barry gets an L.A. Phil subscription concert all to himself in this concert version of his opera. And Adès is counting on plenty of surprising effects in the music.
"I have that old-fashioned theory," Adès said. "If it's beautiful, it's probably going to be uncomfortable the first time you hear it or surprising or a shock."
Shock value has certainly been associated with Adès' earlier works, particularly his 1995 opera "Powder Her Face", with its musical depiction of fellatio. His brash period seemingly behind him, it has often been observed how his music has become more mellow, warmer and more lyrical in recent years.
Adès can understand how listeners might feel that way. He simply feels he's reached a new plateau of technical mastery. It's good timing too. Just recently, Adès secured copyrights for his third opera, based on a 1950s film (details haven't yet been disclosed).
"Knowing my own mind, having written a piece that's very much in control musically, just before turning 40, I will probably then try and do something that's completely out of control," Adès said. "That's the way it works, isn't it? You kind of go from one extreme to another sometimes. We'll see."

The proposed leveraged buyout with lead equity firm Silver Lake Partners could happen as soon as Monday, Reuters reported, citing two people familiar with the deal. Meanwhile, the New York Post reported that the deal could be worth $15 or $16 per share and could even happen Sunday.
In addition to Silver Lake Partners, possible financing for the deal could come from Microsoft, as well as from CEO Michael Dell himself.
[Related: Dell Go Private? History, Research Say It Could Be Good For Everyone Involved ]
A move by Dell to go private could help the company become more flexible in terms of technology and allow it to focus on a solutions-building business for enterprise customers by leveraging the numerous acquisitions it has made over the past couple of years, say solution providers.
Dell shares hit $14, albeit briefly as they slipped below $14 again after the market opened, for the first time since late May and have increased significantly since closing Dec. 31, 2012, at $10.14 per share. Dell had been among the worst technology stocks during 2012, with shares falling more than 30 percent in the last calendar year.

The latest controversy of the day among many on the right, led principally by Liz Cheney and William Kristol, involves attacking Justice Department lawyers who represented alleged members of al Qaeda or the Taliban detained at Guantanmo Bay.
[L]awyers now at the DOJ worked on the historic Boumediene case. That case established the Gitmo detainees' right to challenge their detention in habeas corpus hearings. In effect, the habeas proceedings have taken sensitive national security and detention questions out of the hands of experienced military and intelligence personnel, and put them into the hands of federal judges with no counterterrorism training or expertise. That lack of experience shows. For example, in one recent decision a federal judge compared al Qaeda's secure safe houses (where training, plotting and other nefarious activities occur) to "youth hostels." The habeas decisions are filled with errors of omission, fact, and logic.
Still other lawyers did work on behalf of these well known terrorists: Jose Padilla (an al Qaeda operative dispatched by senior al Qaeda terrorists to launch attacks inside America in 2002), John Walker Lindh (the American Taliban), and Saleh al Marri (who 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed sent to America on September 10, 2001 in anticipation of committing future attacks).
Now, we don't know what assignments these lawyers have taken on inside government. But we do know that they openly opposed the American government for years, on behalf of al Qaeda terrorists, and their objections frequently went beyond rational, principled criticisms of detainee policy.
Not everyone on the right agrees with Kristol and Cheney on this, of course. Two former Bush Administration DOJ officials, John Bellinger III and Peter D. Keisler, have come to the defense of what Cheney, Kristol, and their acolytes are calling "The Al Qaeda Seven". and one very conservative blogger who has no love for the Obama Administration puts it this way:
The lawyers who represent criminals do not represent them because they support crime, they represent them because they support our system of justice. So too those who represented alleged members of al-Qaeda do not support their beliefs but our beliefs in the right to a fair trial and the right to a lawyer. Our system of justice depends on lawyers vigorously advocating for the rights of criminals to receive a fair trial. I couldn't do it–I'm more of a "try 'em and fry 'em" kind of lawyer–but somebody has to do it. And to seek to disqualify lawyers for simply doing their jobs because we don't like who they represented is plain stupid. Oppose the Obama Administration and Attorney General Holder when they are wrong, not merely for the sake of opposing them.
As Walter Dellinger points out in today's Washington Post, this attack on the legal profession is nothing short of shameful:
It never occurred to me on the day that Defense Department lawyer Rebecca Snyder and Lt. Cmdr. William Kuebler of the Navy appeared in my law firm's offices to ask for our assistance in carrying out their duties as military defense lawyers that the young lawyer who worked with me on that matter would be publicly attacked for having done so. And yet this week that lawyer and eight other Justice Department attorneys have been attacked in a video released by a group called Keep America Safe (whose board members include William Kristol and Elizabeth Cheney) for having provided legal assistance to detainees before joining the department. The video questions their loyalty to the United States, asking: "DOJ: Department of Jihad?" and "Who are these government officials? … Whose values do they share?"
That those in question would have their patriotism, loyalty and values attacked by reputable public figures such as Elizabeth Cheney and journalists such as Kristol is as depressing a public episode as I have witnessed in many years. What has become of our civic life in America? The only word that can do justice to the personal attacks on these fine lawyers — and on the integrity of our legal system — is shameful. Shameful.
Moreover, as one blogger points out, these lawyers were doing what every lawyer does:
[L]awyers represent clients. That's what they do. It's a mistake to assume that because Lawyer A represents Client B, he approves of whatever it is that Client B was accused of. He may genuinely believe that Client B is innocent. Even if he doesn't, he almost certainly believes that Client B is entitled to a fair trial to establish his guilt or innocence. And he absolutely believes that he wants to collect his paycheck, in return for which he must do what he does, which is represent clients (by either personal hiring or government appointment to the job).
Just ask a guy named John Adams:
"I…devoted myself to endless labour and Anxiety if not to infamy and death, and that for nothing, except, what indeed was and ought to be all in all, sense of duty. In the Evening I expressed to Mrs. Adams all my Apprehensions:That excellent Lady, who has always encouraged me, burst into a flood of Tears, but said she was very sensible of all the Danger to her and to our Children as well as to me, but she thought I had done as I ought, she was very willing to share in all that was to come and place her trust in Providence.
"Before or after the Tryal, Preston sent me ten Guineas and at the Tryal of the Soldiers afterwards Eight Guineas more, which were…all the pecuniary Reward I ever had for fourteen or fifteen days labour, in the most exhausting and fatiguing Causes I ever tried: for hazarding a Popularity very general and very hardly earned: and for incurring a Clamour and popular Suspicions and prejudices, which are not yet worn out and never will be forgotten as long as History of this Period is read…It was immediately bruited abroad that I had engaged for Preston and the Soldiers, and occasioned a great clamour….
"The Part I took in Defence of Cptn. Preston and the Soldiers, procured me Anxiety, and Obloquy enough. It was, however, one of the most gallant, generous, manly and disinterested Actions of my whole Life, and one of the best Pieces of Service I ever rendered my Country. Judgment of Death against those Soldiers would have been as foul a Stain upon this Country as the Executions of the Quakers or Witches, anciently. As the Evidence was, the Verdict of the Jury was exactly right.
Yes, that's right. One of America's greatest Founders, a member of the Continental Congress, and Second President of the United States defended the British soldiers accused of killing five people in the Boston Massacre. He did it because he believed that everyone deserved a defense.
It's a fact of life that lawyers who practice criminal law, and sometimes even us civil attorneys, will eventually represent disreputable clients. Some do it because they are doing their job, some do it because they believe everyone deserves a defense, and they deserve our thanks, not our condemnation.

'Everybody hold hands, close your eyes,' they told the children.
The horrible accounts of what first responders saw at Sandy Hook.
'One look, and your life was absolutely changed,' said Michael McGowan, one of the first police officers to arrive at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, as a gunman, in the space of minutes, killed 20 first graders and 6 adults.
The officers searched the room for any other gunmen, then began searching for signs of life among the children. One little girl had a pulse and was breathing. Officer Chapman cradled her in his arms and ran with her outside, to an ambulance. Officer Chapman, a parent himself, tried to comfort her. 'You're safe now; your parents love you,' he recalled saying. She did not survive.
They say time heals all wounds, I don't think there is enough time in the world for that.

It is always a miserable experience to go through but there are professionals that are trained to assist you when this problem comes up. Be sure to be prepared for this situation and to know which professional plumber you are going to call to help you. Ask around the community you live in and find a credible plumber that you can trust no matter what. If you are looking for?plumbers in Woodstock, find one that will take care of you at a reasonable price.
When you are looking at pricing for plumbers, you want to find one that is reasonably priced with great skills. IQ cryptocurrency https://iqoption.com/en/crypto/ZEC trade now! Poor plumbing can damage your home and you do not want to hire a plumber just because they are cheap. You do not want to spend a great amount of money but there are plumbers out there that are very skilled and priced well. Look for one in your area that can meet both of those needs and you will be set.
Find a plumber that has years of experience or very high-end training. You do not want to pay for services and then have problems arise the next week. You want to hire someone who is extremely skilled in the area in which you need help to ensure that the problem is going to be fixed correctly. Paying for a brand new plumber is an okay decision as long as you know that their training is consistent and efficient.
Another very important aspect that the plumber should have is the ability to explain the issues before they perform the services needed. This is crucial because then you know what you are paying for and you know what the issue was exactly. If the plumber will explain what has gone wrong and keep you informed as they fix the problem, you will feel a lot more at ease about the situation. Also, if they are willing to help you and inform you how to prevent the problem in the future, this will be very beneficial as well. This allows you to trust your plumber and hire them in the near future if any other problems happen.
Next, hire a plumber that has a warranty or some type of professional guarantee. If a plumber is willing to guarantee their services will last or offer a warranty if something goes wrong, you know you can trust them. This shows that they are willing to do whatever they can to satisfy you as their customer and make sure that you have the best experience possible. You are the one paying for services and you are the one that has to go through the process of getting your plumbing fixed http://s4sva.com.
It is never an enjoyable experience to have something break in your home and have to pay for it. But plumbing is something that needs to be fixed quickly or the problem will worsen. If you let the problem go unnoticed, it can damage the interior of your home more than you can actually see. If you are looking to hire?plumbers,?it is important to find one that is reliable and honest no matter what. Find someone that is kind and treats you with respect because that usually carries over into the way they will perform their services. Find someone that cares about you and wants you to feel satisfied. Professional plumbers should have the desire to please you and try to gain your trust in order for them to continue receiving services from you.

For November 4, 2009
The Wilma Theater Welcomes Area Students to Nov. 4 Performance;
Student Enrichment Program Presenting Athol Fugard's Coming Home to Philadelphia Youth sponsored by PNC Arts Alive
WHAT: Special student matinee performance of Coming Home
WHO: Philadelphia middle and high school students, cast of Coming Home including two local youth actors along with professional actors, The Wilma Theater staff, PNC Arts Alive representatives
WHEN: Wednesday, November 4, 2009 9:30 a.m. – Students arrive
10:00 a.m. – Performance begins
12:30 p.m. – Q&A with students and members of the cast and artistic team
Members of the press are welcome before, during and after the performance.
WHERE: The Wilma Theater, 265 S. Broad St, Philadelphia
INFO: The Wilma Theater will welcome area middle and high school students to its latest production, Coming Home by internationally acclaimed playwright Athol Fugard, on Wednesday, November 4 at 10:00 a.m. The special student matinee kicks off a program funded by PNC Arts Alive, which provides student tickets at a reduced rate and offers students an in-depth look at the Wilma's productions through pre- and post- show discussions and workshops relating to the plays in the company's season.
Two area students will also appear onstage. For Coming Home, director Blanka Zizka has cast two young actors in the role of Mannetjie – 10-year-old Antonio J. Dandridge of Cherry Hill, NJ and 9-year-old Elijah Felder of North Philadelphia.
Schools attending the matinee include: Abington Friends School, Bartram High School, Constitution High School, Fitzsimmons Young Men's Leadership Academy, Meade Gen George Charter School, Strawberry Mansion High School, South Philly High, and T.M. Pierce Elementary School.
Students attending the Coming Home matinee participate in either the Wilma's Wilmagination or Wilma Classroom educational program. Wilmagination is a successful decade-long, residency based student educational outreach program in Philadelphia public schools. The program is designed to increase literacy through interactive and creatively engaging theatrical techniques. Through Wilmagination, students study a play in class, attend a performance of it at the Wilma on fully subsidized tickets, and write their own pieces inspired by the play's themes and theatrical styles. Wilma Classroom is a program designed to encourage local educators to incorporate Wilma productions into their high school and college curricula by providing educator guides, as well as pre- and post-show discussions to facilitate curricular connections.
A post-show discussion will begin in the theater at 12:30 p.m. immediately following the performance, with an opportunity for students to have a Q&A with members of the cast and artistic team.
In his latest play, Fugard, described as "the greatest active playwright in the English-speaking world" by TIME Magazine, crafts a moving tale of a young South African woman's never-ending hope for a better future. As a teenager, Veronica left her cherished grandfather's farm with aspirations of becoming a cabaret singer in Cape Town. Years later, she returns to her hometown with broken dreams, a painful secret, and the unflinching hope of building a new life for her young son.
Coming Home at the Wilma runs through November 15, 2009. Tickets are available at the Wilma Box Office by calling (215) 546-7824, visiting 265 South Broad Street, or online at www.wilmatheater.org.
Reduced ticket pricing for students is made possible by PNC Arts Alive, a five-year, $5 million investment from The PNC Foundation with the goal to increase engagement in the visual and performing arts, develop new audiences and make the arts more accessible to diverse communities in the Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey region. In advance, students can save 50% off full-priced tickets (excludes Opening and Saturday nights) and purchase $10 tickets for Sunday evening performances. Tickets for same day performances can be purchased for $10 at the Box Office. Tickets are subject to availability; valid student ID is required; limit one ticket per ID.

After 29 years of staging its championship round in a 2-3-2 format of home/road games, the NBA is considering a return to the 2-2-1-1-1 system used for The Finals prior to 1985 and still used for all earlier playoff rounds.
The league's competition committee voted to recommend the switch to the Board of Governors, which is expected to approve the move at its meetings Oct. 22-23. Still to be determined: whether the change would take effect for The Finals this June or wait till 2015. The committee's recommendation was first reported by the Boston Herald Sunday.
"The idea was raised at the competition committee and was well-received," NBA spokesman Tim Frank said Sunday, "and the committee ultimately unanimously voted to recommend the change in format."
The 2-3-2 format was adopted for the championship round in 1985, after three consecutive Finals – and nine in a span of 10 years – had played across three time zones. Six of those nine had gone at least to Game 6, requiring additional coast-to-coast travel at a time when even the teams flew commercially.
A relatively new commissioner (David Stern began his term on Feb. 1, 1984) was aware of the demands on demands on players, coaches and staff. Stern also was keen to marketing issues, and the increased expense to newspapers and other traditional media in booking extra flights. Now NBA teams travel via charter flights. Many traditional news outlets no longer cover The Finals, a nod to their own industry's economic woes rather than travel costs.
Also, the 2-3-2 format has its own issues. First, it veers dramatically from the staging of home/road games used in the earlier rounds. Second, the higher-seeded team, which begins The Finals at home, has what some have considered a homecourt disadvantage through five games.
Through the years, many have debated the psychological edges and pressures facing both clubs. Is it tougher for the higher-seeded team to know that, if it loses Game 1 or 2, the series might not return to its city? Or does the lower-seeded team face a greater burden at home, considering how difficult it is to beat a Finals opponent three straight times?
A reversion to 2-2-1-1-1 at least would make the format consistent with the earlier rounds, seemingly a more legitimate way to determine a champion. For the record, since 1985 the teams with Games 1, 2, 6 and 7 at home (if needed) have won 21 of the 29 Finals (.724) in the 2-3-2 format. In the 38 NBA/BAA championships through 1984 (including some played with alternating home games or even 2-3-2 in the 1950s), the higher-seeded teams went 26-12 (.684).

TBFGK 37a
Book (TBFGK)
Page by page (37a)
Panel by panel (37a:1)
|A scene of Parson sitting at a table in his room. On the table is his eyebook, propped open sideways so that one page is positioned like the display of a laptop computer. Parson's hands are on the facing page, apparently using it like a keyboard. To the left of the eyebook is a skull holding a candle. To the right of the table a large sword in its case is propped against the wall. Around the corner on the other wall is a window, with a teddy bear quilt lying on the floor below.
|(There is no text in this panel.)
|The right-hand page of a book is displayed, mostly full of text but illustrated in the lower right corner with a comic frame featuring Hamstard.
My name is Parson A. Gotti. I was born December 7, 1982 in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States of America, Earth, Reality, Sanity. I don't think anyone will read this, but if you are, then hi. Hope your day is going better than mine.
Until yesterday I lived a normal boring life in Columbus, Ohio, where I was wasting the money my parents spent to put me through college. Then something happened to me.
If what happened was real, then last night I was magically teleported to an alternate universe which resembles a strategy game, filled with tiny cute people, who made me their leader.
I can't put my finger on it, exactly, but for some reason I suspect this may not be really happening.
I think it's a lot more likely that I'm in some alternate state of consciousness, maybe due to illness, or injury, or one of my gamer-group spiking my Mt Dew with bad acid.
(They would do it, too, the boops. That's just the kind of insidious outside-the-box, Kobayahsi Maru tactic they'd need to get out of the no-win scenario I was planning to put them in. If that's what happened, then I give them a commendation for original thinking.)
I really think that's it, though. I am having a wish-fulfillment dream, like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.
Either way, it raises important questions. If it's real, can I ever get home? Do I want to ? Can I die here for reals? Am I trapped in my own no-win scenario?
And if I'm dreaming... Will I remember enough to get a Hamstard strip out of it?Hamstard: You better hope you're not dreaming, lipid-golem. If you dreamed you're Judy Garland, you've got bigger issues.

|Hotel Moscow on Terazije
|Republic Square
|Snow wrecked streets, near Slavija
Dobre Dan, comrades! Greetings from Belgrade Serbia, where East meets West and past meets present!
I am serious. I am living a block away from a square where the Turkish invaders used to display the heads of Serbian warriors on spikes centuries ago! Further along we have buildings that were (quite recently) bombed by NATO, alongside Byzantine, Roman and Turkish ruins, plus statues depicting famous communists, Yugoslavs, and world War 2 heroes. Belgrade has been purportedly been destroyed 40 times throughout history, and yet they didn't manage to remove the evidence of the many phases this city has seen. In this city, the ghosts of the past are always with us.
A rogue, giant snow storm kept me huddled inside for a majority of the first weeks, eating the various incarnations of cabbage stew offered by my more than gracious hosts. (See below.) But now that the snow has melted I'm starting to venture out to kafanas (old-school cafes) and order the several vegan options- broiled mushrooms with rice, salads, stuffed or pickled peppers, and thick crusted bread. The food here tends to rely on the freshness of the produce rather than on elaborate sauces or herbs.
My daily meal lunch is obtained from a hole-in-the-wall cafeteria down the street from Slavia (a central roundabout.) Here, every day, you can get some form of fried vegetables, rice, and grated beet salad. Occasionally they have peppers stuffed with rice or stuffed cabbage. I can get a ginormous plate of all of this for circa 2 euros, which seems laughably cheap for such big portions and fresh food. As a result, I haven't ventured to test many of the other places in the area.
One way in which I have truly gone native is to start every day with a mug of thick Turkish coffee the consistency of mud. Every Belgrader has a different method of making it ("the correct way") but my technique works suitably well and I will demonstrate in a future post in case you wish to try it yourself.
All in all, I can't see I'm really comfortably settled in this city yet, and I certainly haven't uncovered the secret to eating regularly and healthily. But I've picked up a few more words, I'm getting lost less often, and the sun is out every day now, and I've bought a bottle of Tabasco, so things are looking up.
