Heads of state from other regions pledge to share lessons, mobilize efforts to fight NCDs
New York, 20 September 2011 (PAHO/WHO) — Heads of state and health leaders from the Caribbean reached out to their counterparts in other regions to urge stronger collaborative action against noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), as the United Nations General Assembly passed a historic resolution on the same subject this week.

Qatar's Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, President of the 66th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, praised Caribbean leaders for being the first to mobilize political commitment at the highest level to fight NCDs and for advocacy that helped produce this week's U.N. summit on NCDs.
"I want to pay tribute to CARICOM particularly for ensuring that the response to NCDs has now been placed at the forefront of global efforts to eradicate poverty and to improve health," said Al-Nasser. "The CARICOM countries have taken a strong leadership role in giving a voice to the challenges faced by the millions of people with NCDs living in low- and middle-income countries around the world."
Heads of state, health ministers and high-level representatives from Aruba, Argentina, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Canada, Finland, Grenada, Haiti, Hungary, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Slovenia, South Africa, Suriname and the United States were among participants in an event, "The Caribbean Takes Stock," organized by the heads of state of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) with support from the Healthy Caribbean Coalition and the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) to coincide with the U.N. summit on NCDs.
The Caribbean is the subregion in the Americas that has been most heavily affected by the rising epidemic of NCDs such as cancer, heart disease, chronic respiratory illness, and diabetes. NCDs account for nearly 50 percent of disability-adjusted life years lost in the Caribbean, and the economic impact of these diseases threatens the development of the region's small economies.
Caribbean leaders, however, were among the first to mobilize internationally to fight NCDs. Their 2007 heads of state summit—held in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad—produced a joint Caribbean response to the NCD epidemic. The declaration that emerged from that meeting, "Uniting to stop the epidemic of chronic non-communicable diseases," was cited in the resolution on NCDs passed by the U.N. General Assembly today.
The actions called for by the General Assembly echo the approach endorsed by the Caribbean countries, said Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, who helped draft the U.N. resolution.
"We have to take a multisector approach," said Gonsalves. "We have to involve every single entity, every single area of endeavor, including the public sector and the private sector, and work together to see how we can help our societies overcome the threat of NCDs."
Minister of Health of Canada Leona Aglukkaq agreed: "Collectively we can all share our own lessons, and we can achieve more by collaborating." Canada has provided key support for CARICOM's efforts to fight NCDs.
President Michel Martelly of Haiti promised to make NCDs a top priority of his new government. "I am here to join and unite against NCDs. I do believe we can fight NCDs through education, a good healthcare system, and also by using prevention."
Prime Minister Tillman Thomas of Grenada said small countries such as his face special challenges that make leadership on NCDs even more important. "As leaders we have a moral responsibility to preserve life. "We need to address issues such as patents and the high costs of medicines, particularly for people in small-island states."
Among leaders from other regions attending the CARICOM event was Dr. Danilo Türk, President of Slovenia, who emphasized the importance of addressing NCDs as a development issue. "We should understand development in its totality, and this is impossible without an effective strategy to prevent and control NCDs," he said, adding, "This is a very powerful political message, and I wish everybody success."
Hungarian President Pal Schmitt—a former Olympic gold medalist in fencing--warned that young people in his and other countries are adopting lifestyles that will lead inexorably to high rates of chronic diseases. In Hungary, he said, "sixty percent of youths do nothing—no sports at all." To reverse this trend, Hungary's government has declared sports as a national strategy to fight NCDs and has doubled the budget for sports, "not to create sports champions, but to get the children of Hungary to move," said Schmitt.
South Africa's Minister of Health Aaron Motsoaledi called for a ban on tobacco advertising during the Olympic Games and other sporting events. "No cigarettes and no alcoholic brand is going to create an Olympic champion," he said.
Finland's Minister of International Development, Heidi Hautala, warned of "commercial attempts to change our diets so they are not healthy." She also pledged to work within the European Union to try to mobilize development assistance to fight NCDs in low- and middle-income countries.
Australia's Minister of Health, Nicola Roxon, also thanked CARICOM for focusing attention on NCDs and said his country's recent legislation requiring "plain" non-advertorial packaging of tobacco products is among a number of practices for fighting NCDs that countries should share. "We know that tackling tobacco is a best buy for public health, said Roxon. "But the tobacco industry will use every tactic they can, so we must work together."
President Desi Bouterse of Suriname closed the event with a personal pledge to stop smoking, despite a longstanding habit. "The time has come to start the fight against these killers," said Bouterse. "As world leaders, we have the responsibility to ensure our citizens attain the highest standard of health. Let's put our words into action."

McMinnville woman fights off assailant; suspect in custody
Aug 21, 2013 | 2 Comments
News-Register Staff
A downtown store employee foiled an attempted sexual abuse on Wednesday, by screaming and fighting until her assailant fled, McMinnville police said.
Police have arrested Trinidad Dario Padilla, 44, of McMinnville in relation to the incident.
Padilla, who is on post-prison supervision for attempted first-degree rape, had been living in subsided housing at the jail. He has now been returned to jail on a charge of probation violation.
Police said they anticipate adding charges of attempted first-degree rape, kidnapping and sex abuse.
Padilla had apparently been watching the downtown McMinnville store and the employee for several days, police said. About 1:15 p.m. Wednesday, when the employee was alone, he entered the store, forced the woman into the back and tried to assault her. She screamed and fought until he fled, then she ran to a nearby store and called 911.
Police said the two do not appear to have known each other.
Police are withholding the name and address of the store to protect the woman's identity.
Anyone with additional information about the case is asked to call McMinnville police, at 503-434-7307.

Seared Ahi Tuna Salad with Mizkan Ponzu
I love all sorts of Japanese-style salads, from the simple seaweed salad to the more complex salads such as seared ahi tuna salad. Whenever I eat out at Japanese restaurants, I almost never miss out on my favorite ahi tuna salad. It's almost like having sashimi, except that it is healthier—a few slices of lightly seared ahi tuna on top of a bed of greens, drizzled with a splash of Japanese ponzu dressing. If you love Japanese cooking, I am sure you have had your fair share of seared ahi tuna salad. The good news is that I am sharing my recipe with you, so you can start making this refreshing salad at home.
A good seared ahi tuna salad starts with three basic ingredients: sushi-grade ahi tuna, your favorite salad (I like spring mix or herb mix), and a superb Japanese ponzu sauce. Many people are confused by the name "ahi" tuna. Ahi is the Hawaiian word for two species of tuna: yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna. Yellowfin tuna is best served as sashimi (raw) or seared rare. For the dressing, my choice is Mizkan AJIPON® Ponzu, which is widely used at Japanese restaurants. You just can't go wrong with the choice of Japanese chefs and restaurateurs.
I have tried countless variations of seared ahi tuna salad at Japanese restaurants but my ultimate favorite is the ones served with tobikko roes (fly fish roes) and shredded roasted seaweed. The tobikko roes add the pleasing "popping" texture and sensation to the mouth and the roasted seaweed gives its signature Japanese nuance. I also jazzed up the Mizkan AJIPON® Ponzu dressing with a bit of ground sesame seeds and sesame oil. To cut the acidic taste, I sweetened it up with a little honey. Finally, for the star of this dish, I rubbed some shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice) to the fish before searing. The end result is this gorgeous looking, refreshing, and appetizing seared ahi tuna salad.
I hope you like this seared ahi tuna salad recipe as much as I do. Enjoy!

Seared ahi tuna salad is the perfect lunch!
Mmm.. I love fresh tuna and seared ever so slightly. This looks so drool-worthy, Bee :)
I like the look of the seared tuna recipe. I haven't seen the idea of using a rub on the tuna. Nice touch.
Love tuna! This looks yummy!
I love ponzu and this is a great salad to go with Asian food!
I have the perfect Yuzu pepper rub for the Tuna. This dish is perfect for my diet plan :)
Brandon and I tried this kind of salad at Fukada Jespanese restaurant. It was so yummy. I'll try to cook this by my self next time. Thanks for the recipe ^^

Please let me know the location of the shop in Kuala Lumpur which had the zojirushi bread maker machine
Hi! I'm super excited to make this dish. :D Would you recommend marinating the tuna overnight for extra flavor (or would that be overkill)?

Why are'nt the conventions like this over here in good old blighty?
No panels on all the screw ups of the editors and the big turn-around on the writers over at DC???
You'd think DC would've been big enough to try and admit they are working on making the books better and talk about their next big plan and concentrate on following what they had planned originally.
hey,we here in vegas just got our first comic-con.hope it get bigger and bigger.had stan and jim lee here,was good.
You lost me at "the greatest city on Earth, New York City."
H*R...not from NY (City or state)

Yeah Joe, sorry they really aren't. Check movie grosses and see the truth.
its all about money, i'm afraid, I used to love UKCAC in the 90s but it was never going to rival the big stateside cons...
Lazarus, Im pretty sure he said dc COMICS not dc MOVIES.
Thanks Bunyon, I suppose it is. As much I enjoy going I would love to see something as big as this.

Banjoverse: The Full Epic
Playlist Navigation Bar
Fallen: 21. Civilians
Over the following days, riders did indeed approach from the northeast. Although King Elessar and his party were still camped at Cormallen, we received word that many of the companies had been granted leave to return to Minas Tirith. And so they came walking and riding back through the ruined gates of the City bearing their standards, looking tired and dazed, but proud. And, most importantly, alive.
As the Warden had predicted, the Houses became busier, as men reported to the wards with such injuries that had not posed a hindrance to their return journey but which still wanted attention. The other apprentices from our Houses who'd accompanied the host to the Black Gates returned, too. It made me ache all the more that Laeron was not among them.
And the work went on, and I waited and wondered, until one afternoon I was making rounds in the south ward when someone called my name. I turned around.
He was standing near the entrance to the ward, just beyond the last row of beds. He had a faint black eye, but he was standing up straight enough. I crossed the space between us and he caught me up in his arms, laughing.
"Well, I'm back," he said.
For a few moments we were shy with one another, as if he were a new suitor coming to pay a first call. For the first time in as long as I could remember, I felt fortunate.
"How are you?" he asked.
"Well enough, and you?"
"I hardly know," he said, but he was smiling.
"More good than bad, I hope." I rested my hands on his elbows and looked up at him.
"It's over. It's done."
"I know," I said.
"I still can't believe it."
"Neither can I."
And he sank to his knees in front of me, there between the rows of beds in the south ward, and he began to cry.
"Beren," I said. I sat down on the nearest bed and put my hand on his head. His hair was short; he must have cut it when he was at Cormallen. I rested my other hand on his shoulder.
He swore. "I'm sorry. I just didn't think I would ever come here, again. I didn't think I would see you again."
I hesitated, and then I said, "I didn't think I would see you again, either." From this side of events, it seemed almost an admission of failure; I was glad that we were able to confess at the same time.
"It's all right," I said. I put my hand against the unbruised side of his face and remembered what Valacar had said to me the other day. "We won."
He looked up at me. "Yes," he said, "we did." And all of a sudden he was laughing again, even as he still wiped tears from his eyes. He turned his head and kissed my palm. "You must think I'm mad."
I smiled. "Even if you are, you're no more so than I am, or anyone else in this city."
He got to his feet and brushed himself off. His movements were stiff and tentative.
"I'm wanted by my captain soon, but my company is camped on the Pelennor tonight and we are at our leisure to entertain guests. Will you come down and take supper with us?"
That evening, Elloth and I made our way down to the First Circle and through the gaping maw in the main wall that had once been the Great Gate. Already there was scaffolding there to begin its rebuilding.
I had had to work hard to convince her to come with me. Normally it would have been the other way around, with Elloth eager to spend time with the young soldiers, and me hanging back. But ever since learning of Laeron's death, she had grown quiet and sullen, even beyond the measure of grief that most of us harbored. Of course, I knew something of that, myself. She had always had a vein of steel just beneath the surface of her, I thought; now it was simply bared to the outside once enough of her had been worn away. I thought it would do her some good to be out under the sky and outside of the City walls. She had finally relented when I had told her I did not think it would be proper for me to go down to the camps by myself.
The Pelennor was dotted with bonfires and tents; most of the captains were camped here, with their men, rather than taking up quarters in the City. Company banners were planted in the ground, and they stirred in the light breeze. Even in the darkness I could make out the green of Rohan, the blue of Dol Amroth, and the new black of the King, so different from the Stewards' plain white. To make their camps, the men had had to clear away yet more battle debris, which lay in ashy mounds at odd intervals.
Beren had given me directions on how to find his company's encampment, and we were able to reach it quickly. The unit had a large fire going a ways away from their simple canvas tents; a large one that had to belong to the officers, and several smaller ones for the men. The fire was ringed with a few makeshift seats of planks and discarded masonry blocks, but most of the men sat on the ground, balancing bowls and water-skins in their laps.
Beren stood up to greet us as soon as he saw us.
"It's good to see you again," he said to Elloth.
"And you," she replied politely.
The men promptly moved to offer us the best spots beside the fire. I could see them adjusting their postures, as if they had to reacquaint themselves with the notion of having women in their midst. Beren introduced us to his friends, Minas Tirith boys all. They were kind and a bit grave like he was, with hard edges of humor creeping into their speech now and then. The scrapes and bruises on their faces were fresh, and a few of them had their arms in slings, but their clothes were clean, and like Beren, many of them looked to have had their hair newly cropped. Supper was a stew made from some wild pheasants that one of the men had managed to bag on the road back through Ithilien, sopped up with thick crusty bread.
"This is good," I said. "Thank you."
"It's Beren's," said one of his friends, grinning at me. "He's a tolerable cook when the need arises." At this Beren smiled and tilted his head to one side.
"He also slew an orc-captain," his friend added.
"Did you, now?" I asked.
"I had help with that," Beren said. "The stew, however, I made by myself."
"Tell me about the Black Gate," Elloth said after we had finished the meal. The men were passing around a flask of something strong. I looked at Elloth. Firelight reflected on her hair and in her grey eyes, and she was beautiful and still.
The men exchanged glances.
"We fought in two circles," one of them, Relion, began slowly. "We were in the circle with the King. There was a lot of smoke, and ash. The air was so thick, even before it began. I thought I would choke."
"And the Riders and the beasts, overhead—the hellhawks, as we took to calling them. But you know of those. And their cries."
"And before that, don't forget. There was an awful man come to have words with the King—at least, I think he was a man."
"I thought we were all set to perish there. We were ready to fight to the last man," Beren said. He looked at his friends for confirmation, and received scattered nods in return. "I thought that those slag hills would be our grave, until…they weren't," he finished.
No one spoke for a few moments after that.
"And what else?" Elloth persisted. I nudged her with my elbow, but she ignored me.
"Maybe some other time," one of the men said, not unkindly. Elloth lifted her chin, but then she nodded.
"And what about you ladies?" Relion asked.
"What about us?" I asked, smiling.
"Have you nothing of import to tell us?"
Elloth and I exchanged a glance. "Nothing that you've not yet heard, I'm sure," I replied.
"Well then," he said, "why don't you tell us something of little or no import? I, for one, am tired of hearing no one but these fools speak from sunup to sundown." He indicated his friends, a couple of whom took halfhearted swipes at him for that remark. "If there's anything we've missed, it's the sound of a woman's voice."
"Hear, hear," said Beren, taking a drink and glancing at me.
"Elloth is a wonderful storyteller," I put in.
"Let's have a story, then," said one of the men.
Elloth shook her head, but then she may have smiled for just a moment.
"Go on, Elloth," I said, and this time it was her turn to elbow me in the ribs. After several minutes of exhortation and another drink, however, she relented.
"Very well," she said. "This is a story that was told to me by Master Meriadoc from the Shire, cousin to the Ring-bearer." The men glanced at one another, seeming duly impressed at that. "And it was told to him by an old kinsman. So I may not have all of it right, in my head."
"Sounds promising, nevertheless," said Relion, lifting his hands up to warm them by the fire.
She began: "In a hole in the ground there lived a perian…"
At first, Elloth's voice was low and hesitant. She did not look at her audience, but only stared into the fire. But as the story went on, a bit of the old gleam returned to her eyes, and she would pause and look about at the right moments for dramatic effect. She spoke faster or slower, more loudly or more quietly, as the events of the tale called for, as all good storytellers are wont to do. It was clear that all the men had taken to her quite well, or at least to her story. Even in mourning, she could not resist the thrill of being at the center of attention, and I was glad for that. Like everyone else, I leaned forward and listened.
At some point, when everyone was well absorbed in the tale, Beren touched my arm and inclined his head away from the fire. I nodded, and we got up and left the circle.
We drifted to a space that was relatively empty and quiet, around the back of some of the Rohirric companies' encampments. The ground was scorched and churned up. We laid down our cloaks and sat on them. There was a spring chill in the air, bracing but not bitter.
"I like your hair," Beren said.
"My—oh," I said, and I realized that until now he had probably never seen me without my hair bound up beneath my cap. Tonight I was wearing it loose, for what seemed to be the first time in as long as I could remember. "It's all right, I suppose," I said. He laughed.
"The stars are nice," he said. "Before, in—we couldn't see them at all. The men in my company could have gone up to the barracks to stay, but we chose to camp here. Though a proper bed would have been nice, too," he added.
I stared up at the sky. "I think you chose right," I said. I glanced back in the direction of his unit's fire. "Your friends are wonderful."
"They're my brothers. In all of the good ways, and some of the bad, as well. Now all the more, for all we've seen together."
"I can't imagine."
"Oh, I think you probably could. Isn't Elloth just as much your sister?"
I thought for a moment. "Yes, I suppose she is." I paused. "And Laeron was just as much my brother."
He drew in his breath. "I didn't know if you'd want to talk about that."
"I do," I said. "Tell me what happened, please."
"We've come full circle, then," he said.
"How do you mean?"
"The first time I met you," he said. "I was asking you about Tarondor. I wanted to know. And now, you…" He trailed off. "Well, I'm sorry it's come to that, then. I wasn't there, you understand. To find someone who was there, you would have to go to the Sixth or the Third infantry, I imagine, as I think they were closer at hand. But this is what I heard."
"Go on," I said.
"First, the march was something else, even before the battle. A lot of the men quailed—and not cowardly men, either, and no few from my company; they couldn't go on. So the King released them, and dispatched them to defend Cair Andros. Laeron could have gone, then, but he didn't."
"Nor did you," I said.
"No, nor did I." He paused again. "I don't think I'm so very brave, no more than anyone else. But I'm the sort who likes to see things through to the end."
"Don't belittle yourself," I said. "You're very brave. So Laeron was brave, too. He also liked to see things through."
"And so do you, I think."
"Maybe. Go on."
"He wasn't at the front, of course. We wouldn't have done that, not even then. He was well behind the lines, helping the wounded who had managed to be borne back. And somehow—I don't know what happened, you can't really put it all together after the fact—they broke through his part of the lines, and we couldn't hold them. They just went through…" He trailed off.
"And killed him," I finished.
"Him and many others, yes." He shrugged. "I think it would have been quick. Leastwise I hope."
I nodded. My eyes stung
"We burned the bodies," he finished. "It was a wretched thing, to leave any part of them behind at all, in that place, but at least we knew they wouldn't fall prey to whatever beasts haunt that land."
Neither of us spoke for a while. I thought about the difference between a quick death and a slow one.
"Thank you for telling me," I said, finally.
"It's the least I can do," he snorted. "The absolute least. You can be angry at me; it's quite all right."
"Why would I be angry at you?"
"For living, when he did not. When I was a soldier, and he wasn't."
"And he wasn't a civilian, either. None of us were, Beren. We may not have been fighters, like you, but we weren't civilians."
"All right, then." And although he did not sound entirely convinced by this, he reached over and took my hand. His fingers were warm and rough, as I remembered them.
"He was brave," he continued. "Braver than me. I told you that I'm the sort who likes to see things through, that I didn't take the dispatch to Cair Andros. But that's not the whole of it." He paused. "At some point I'd just given myself up for dead. I'd given all of us up for dead. It was easier, that way."
"I know," I said.
"Do you?"
"I do."
"Anyway, a lot of us felt that way. You could see it in our eyes, I suppose." He paused and took a breath. "But not Laeron; he was still alive. And he helped me. He helped all of us."
I sat there for a few moments and took this in.
"Will you tell that to Valacar?" I asked. "He's the surgeon to whom Laeron was apprenticed. I think it would make him happy, to hear that."
He nodded. "Of course."
We sat in silence for a while, and then I felt myself growing anxious. I had to do it now, I thought, or not at all. Somehow it might be easier here in the dark, where we couldn't see one another's faces so well. I squeezed his fingers, and then I dropped his hand.
"I have something to tell you, now," I began. "A lot of things, actually."
"All right."
"Please don't say anything until I'm finished."
"I can do that."
And so I told him everything. About Valacar and the dying man, about the Eastern River soldier with his carved figures, and about Lord Aradîr, and about that night in the rain, in the alley. I told him about Ceorth, and about the dagger that the captain had given me. I told him about the wreck on the First Circle, and that the man was dead, now, and that I knew for sure. I had thought that telling him all this would be very hard, and it was, though to my surprise it grew easier as I went on. After I stopped speaking, we both quiet for a very long time.
"I'm finished, now," I said.
He was silent for a few moments more. Then he swore, and said, "Why didn't you tell me any of this before?"
"When would I have told you?"
"Before I left."
"Why do you think?" I asked, and I could not stop a note of bitterness from creeping in to my voice. "What good would it have done either of us?"
"I would have killed him," he said.
"See?" I said. "Little good a charge of murder would have done you. Or me, for that matter."
"I still wish you'd told me," he said. "And me, asking if you'd marry me, and teasing you. It must have seemed—"
"You didn't know," I said. "It's all right." I thought of balancing on the high ramparts, and of emerging from the wreckage of the First Circle soaked in blood that was not my own. I drew myself up a bit. "But now you know what manner of woman I am."
"And what manner is that?" he asked.
"Very different from the one you first met, I should imagine."
"And yet not so much, I think." He reached out as if to touch me, but then stopped himself, as if something had put him off. As I supposed something had.
"You shouldn't have stayed, then," he said. "You should have gone to the coast with the other women—"
"No." I cut him off. "Because then, for one, I never would have met you."
He snorted. "That doesn't seem like much of a fair exchange."
"It isn't an exchange. Nothing like that. It's the past, and it still lingers terribly, but it's all the past and there's nothing we can do about it." I wiped at my eyes with the heel of my hand.
"Well, I'm sorry at any rate," he said. "I can't say how sorry I am. And angry, for you."
"Thank you," I said. "I'll have your anger, but not your pity."
"Very well," he nodded. "I do suppose you are a stronger manner of woman than I might have thought you at first. I'd heard about the collapse on the First Circle. I didn't know that was you," he smiled. "You're very brave, indeed."
"Maybe. But I did it because I had to."
After I said that, I realized that I could not explain that statement, even to myself, much less to Beren. Fortunately he didn't ask me to, because maybe he understood, after a fashion. He simply nodded again.
We sat quietly for perhaps a minute more, each of us staring into our laps.
Then he said, "And would you still have me?"
I looked up at him, startled. "I think the question is, Beren, would you still have me?"
He snorted, again. "And what manner of man do you think I am?"
"A…" I started. "A good one, I think." I paused. "Charitable."
"Not charitable," he said, and he reached out and took both of my hands between his. "Not in the least. Be assured of that. And even if I were, you wouldn't need it from me, nor would I expect you to take it. So, the question is still, would you have me?"
"I…would," I said, surprising myself. "But not right away. Not now."
He paused, and then he said, "I understand that."
"I have things I need to do. I need a lot of time."
"Well, that we have in abundance, now, thanks to the periannath."
"That we do." I laughed a little bit. "But, Beren," I continued. "If you find you can't or won't give me that time, if you want a girl who would require less of it, then…I would understand that, as well."
He put his palm against the side of my face, as I had done with him earlier that day.
"I spent all twenty-three years of my life waiting for Mordor to come knocking at the gates of Minas Tirith," he said. "And now that it did, I think I can bear to wait a few more for something good."
And then I laughed, a real laugh, this time, and so did he. I felt warm in spite of the cold ground that lay beneath my cloak.
"So be it, sir," I said. It was all so strange, to be sitting in the middle of a battle-wrecked field before the City gates. I thought that everything would be strange, from now on. And perhaps that was not such a bad thing.
I got to my feet, and so did he. And then, to my own great surprise I put my hands on his shoulders and went up on my toes just briefly, and kissed him on the mouth.
"So be it," I repeated, and even through the darkness I had some satisfaction at seeing the stunned expression on his face. And then he smiled again.
"So be it, my lady," he said.
We gathered up our cloaks and put them over our shoulders. I stared up at the stars, my mind reeling with grief and joy. And we went back to join the others around the fire, by which time Elloth had finished with her tale, and they had long since moved on to other stories.

About ECM
January 17 , 2014
Reviews of the week
A first English press reaction to
Extended Circle
, the new recording by the Tord Gustavsen Quartet
Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen's quartet sounded discreetly funkier than formerly on their 2012 album, The Well, and another veil of that discretion is peeled off with Extended Circles a delicious collage of hypnotic grooving, softly stroked gospel themes, and perhaps more gloves-off jazz piano from the leader than on all five of his previous ECM albums. The short opener, Right There, is a classic Gustavsen piano theme of gently soulful enquiries. Then saxophonist Tore Brunborg fuels an intense account of the traditional Norwegian hymn Eg Veit I Himmerik Ei Borg, built on Jarle Vespestad's snare-drum patterns and swelling to a warbling incantation. The Gift is an episode of eerily slow jazz balladeering, Staying There a gripping passage of snorty tenor-sax over a seamless Jarrett-like thunder, but there's also plenty of evidence such as the static yet vibrant Glow that Gustavsen's persuasive fragility is still intact.
John Fordham, The Guardian
British website Jazz Views on the Arild Andersen trio recording
with Tommy Smith and Paolo Vinaccia
This is the long awaited follow up to the Live At Belleville set that was recorded in 2008, and the intervening years have seen the trio tour extensively and the close rapport and cohesiveness of the
unit is immediately apparent in the music presented here. Recorded at the famous Rainbow Studio in Oslo, the three musicians have brought together a programme consisting of ballads and mid tempo free-floating sound explorations. Having said that some of Andersens themes are strong enough to keep everyone firmly grounded and thus the emphasis remains on the collective as a whole. This trait is clearly in evidence on Reparte with Andersens solo introduction that leads into a beautiful melody stated by Tommy Smiths tenor and then joined by Vinaccias commentary from the drums in a genuinely compelling three way conversation. Sounding much greater than the sum of its parts, the trio establish a degree of empathy that is quite astonishing. [...] Mira is the work of a truly collective trio that is reaching an artistic peak, yet is also hinting at new directions that may be pursued to continue their musical journey.
Nick Lea, Jazz Views
German daily Mannheimer Morgen is impressed by
Il Pergolese
, the new project of Maria Pia de Vito, François Couturier, Anja Lechner and Michele Rabbia
Entstanden ist ein grandioses Album, das Grenzgänge zwischen Barock und Jazz präsentiert, wie sie in dieser Homogenität selten zuvor zu hören waren. Das Quartett erweist dem Komponisten mit viel improvisatorischem Freiraum, aber auch respektvoller Sensibilität seine Reverenz. Anja Lechners sehnsuchtsvollem Cello-Ton und Maria Pia De Vitos hingebungsvollem Gesang zu lauschen, ist Labsal für die Seele. Couturiers perlende Pianoläufe und Rabbias raffinierte Rhythmen fügen sich wunderbar in die fein gewebten Klangtexturen ein.
Georg Spindler, Mannheimer Morgen
Jazz critic Peter Margasak from American weekly Chicago Reader lists
by the Craig Taborn Trio among his ten favourite albums of 2013
Perhaps the most versatile, mercurial pianist in jazz, Craig Taborn delivers another stunning statement. He's led his fantastic trio with bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Gerald Cleaver since 2007, and you can hear that shared history in how thoroughly Taborn and his bandmates seem to have internalized the material on Chants. His shape-shifting compositions add to the fluid complexity of the songsdespite their many interlocking parts, they never feel halting or mechanical, and their constant destabilizing motion is offset by meticulous construction that allows each player great improvisational latitude.
Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader
UK Website London Jazz is enchanted by Yeahwon Shin's ECM debut
Lua Ya
Yeahwon Shins subtle vocals possess an endearing range of timbres, colours and percussive techniques always sensitive and warm; often bright with a gentle vibrato; but then also displaying a charming, breathy, childlike innocence. The connection here between pianist and vocalist is something special, the magic further woven by the blurring of written and improvised material indeed, much of the recorded performance emanates simply from quotation beforehand of these traditional melodies. Shin has me hanging on her every (Korean) word and phrase; Aaron Parks limpid, restrained, solo touch and chordal shifts are seriously spellbinding; and augmenting both on a good number of the thirteen tracks is the delicate, intuitive accordion of Rob Curto (Shin and Curto share a deep affinity for Brazilian music and have worked together previously). The entire sequence is well balanced (pin-sharp ECM recording and mixing, as always), the wonder of the whole experience gradually unfolding throughout its forty minutes.
Adrian Pallant, London Jazz
The Hilliard Ensembles new album
Il Cor Tristo
is reviewed on The Arts Desk
Il Cor Tristo programmes 16th-century Italian madrigals on Petrarch texts with new settings of cantos from Dante's Inferno by Roger Marsh. Marsh writes that his main aim was to keep Dante's words clear at all times, and thus you will find in this contemporary music many devices usually encountered in music of much earlier times. There's also the matter of getting through an awful lot of Dante's text in a very short time. Marsh manages this beautifully, and listening to the Hilliards perform his sequence is an entertaining, theatrical experience.
Speech patterns dictate the flexibility of the rhythms, and the harmonies sound refreshingly modern but never at odds with the earlier madrigals. There are so many felicitous touches sample baritone Gordon Jones's steady tread at the close of the first number, while the other three voices scamper above. Marsh's extended third movement is spellbinding. Elsewhere, six madrigals by Bernardo Pisano are sublime their sophistication effortlessly projected by these voices. Three more by Jacques Arcadelt complete the sequence, their brighter, more open textures a welcome contrast. It's all excellent, and handsomely recorded in rich, resonant sound.

Georgia Apartments and Homes
In Georgia, Rent.com has apartments in:
- Acworth
- Alpharetta
- Athens
- Atlanta
- Augusta
- Austell
- Buford
- Canton
- Columbus
- Conyers
- Covington
- Cumming
- Dallas
- Decatur
- Doraville
- Douglasville
- Duluth
- Dunwoody
- Fairburn
- Fayetteville
- Jonesboro
- Kennesaw
- Lawrenceville
- Lithonia
- Mableton
- Macon
- Marietta
- McDonough
In 1776, Georgia's population was around 40,000. Today, it's ranked tenth among the states with a population of 8.6 million. Growth isn't the only interesting feature about the Peach State; from ancient mountains to rolling rivers, charming towns to the bustling metropolis of Atlanta, Georgia offers plenty of features to attract newcomers on the search for apartment rentals.
What to Expect
Georgia's economy peaked in the 19th century due to its vast cotton and rice plantations fueled by slave labor, which made it one of the wealthiest Southern states. The Civil War and its aftermath were major turning points in the economic and social life of Georgia. The state was devastated during the war, and the abolition of slavery made an enormous impact on the economy. However, in recent decades, manufacturing and service industries have instituted a resurgence in the state's economy, making employment and apartments more plentiful.
The weather is generally mild in much of the state, with hot and humid summers and cool winters, with temperatures only dropping to the 40s and 50s. And as for snow? Snowfall is rare except in the mountains.
Where to Explore
Residents and tourists alike enjoy Georgia's many historical sites and natural attractions throughout the state. Scenic mountains, lakes, rivers and coastal areas provide a wide range of outdoor activities. There are also many historic sites of interest in Georgia, most of them associated with the elegant plantation lifestyle of antebellum days, as well as the Civil War.
Atlanta Apartments
Atlanta, the largest city in the state, is often considered the capital of the South. With a population of 416,000 and rising, the city's growth is matched by rapid economic expansion. "Hotlanta" houses the headquarters of some of the largest and best-known companies in the nation, including Coca-Cola, United Parcel Service, Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Turner Broadcasting System and Delta Air Lines. Tall buildings and busy streets are to be found at Five Points, the city's historic business center. Away from the hustle and bustle, you can still find charming neighborhoods (some even with apartments available), tree-shaded streets and friendly communities. Average apartment rentals cost $931 with utilities at $93, putting it on par with apartments for rent in cities like Philadelphia and Los Angeles.
Columbus Located 95 miles southwest of Atlanta, Columbus is Georgia's second largest city with 186,000 residents. Fort Benning, a large United States Army infantry base, is nearby, which contributes to Columbus's strong military and patriotic culture. It's 7.4% cheaper to live in Columbus than in Atlanta, a feature that may come in handy when looking for apartments there.
Savannah Apartments
Savannah, with a population of 131,000, was the largest city in Georgia until Atlanta overtook it in the 20th century. A thriving industrial center and seaport, Savannah is the oldest city in the state and has retained much of the culture of its gracious past, retaining its sense of Southern charm and old-fashioned hospitality. World-class restaurants, Civil War forts, art galleries, fine antique shops and other attractions make Savannah a terrific place to call home. From elegant homes in the historic Gardens District to modern apartments for rent close to downtown, housing options are plentiful.

1. Sharpen your swords, O Elves of Nargothrond
Shortly after his arrival in Nargothrond...
"Well met, Turin son of Hurin."
The look on the Man's face was both priceless and pitiful. "How... how came you by that name?"
The Elf, who had been waiting comfortably in Turin's chambers, shifted forward in his chair. "Your name is written plainly enough in your thoughts, for those who would see."
"How came you here? And through a locked door. That is the work of outlaws, not the Noldor."
A quiet chuckle. "And are there no outlaws among the Noldor? But here, at least, I am not outlaw. Merely one who is fond of doors and locks, and wishes to speak with you."
Turin closed the door behind him. "Very well. But I would know your name."
"Agarwaen son of Umarth. Or, if you prefer, Celebrimbor son of Curufin son of Feanor."
Silence for a moment. "I see. And why are you here?"
"To speak with you, of course. Why else?"
"But why not at table, or, since you must be a lord, your chambers?"
"Those would not be proper for the discussion I wish."
"A serious matter, then."
"Yes. I would seek your aid."
A grim laugh. "Then you are a fool, for all who seek that come to grief."
"I will come to grief whether I am a fool or not. As will you. Why, then, should I fear to ask a boon?"
"I have little to offer except service to Nargothrond in battle. Dor-lomin is fallen, and I am now lord of no one, save myself."
"You are the lord of less than that, for the moment, but your service in battle is of great worth."
"I have already offered my sword to the King, as you must know, so what boon could you ask? I have only one life to give."
"There are two parties in Nargothrond. One, the people of Finarfin, who are for the most part, shall we say, not overbold in heart. You have seen Orodreth. The other party, those of my people who followed my father and uncle here, escaping from Dagor Bragollach. We are bold, to excess. Much like yourself."
Turin motioned for Celebrimbor to continue.
"The problem is that the first party greatly outnumbers the second."
"You would have me set strife here then? I have had more than enough of that, but why would you want such strife when we should be fighting Angband?"
"I want no strife within Nargothrond. And few hate Angband more than I."
"What mean you then?"
"You are the mightiest warrior here. Nargothrond can choose, as the King favors, to hide, and wait for aid from the Valar. Or it can choose to go forth in battle while our lives last. It is plain that you would choose the latter. But you are only one man."
"I am only one man, you say, but in battle I am worth many. Yet still you have asked no boon."
"Can you not guess it? I had heard your mind was as sharp as your blade. Is it?"
A scowl. "Then you should also have heard that I am not one to patiently play word-games. Speak plainly!"
"Very well. The boon is thus. Lead by example, and help the people of this city to understand that arms are indeed the best wall against Morgoth. I cannot, for my skill in battle is small, at least in the wielding of weapons. Forging them is another matter, but it is the wielding that wins renown."
Now Turin laughed. "I, an example? The slayer of my greatest friend? The captain who led his men to ruin? The ungrateful fosterling?"
"Beleg's death is held by all to be an ill chance. You are not the only one here who has slain Elves, either by the sword or with fell words, but you are the only one who is not blamed for it. The lesser party here cannot sway the greater, because of such grievances. The grievances themselves are just, but nonetheless our approach to fighting Morgoth is the better. You can sway the people of this city if you are clever. There is great might and courage in the people of Finarfin, but it is also very difficult to awaken them from their present slumber. Finrod himself failed to do so."
"I have heard the blame for that lies at the feet of your own father and uncle."
Celebrimbor stood and strode silently towards Turin, stopping within a foot of his face, Being a head shorter, that was as close as he could get without touching him. Elf faced Man, the former holding the latter's eyes, utterly without fear. Turin wondered, for few now looked on him without apprehension.
Celebrimbor held this posture for a long moment before replying. "You have heard correctly. But not all of us have gone mad. You, Turin, are far closer to madness than I. Should I fear you? Ha! Of course not, for you agree with what I say. It is only your enemies, those who disagree with you, and those you love, who need fear you. I am none of those."
Turin glared down at the Feanorian. "Fell words. Those, your kin are known for. But you speak the truth."
"And you hold truth in high esteem. The truth, then, Turin son of Hurin son of Galdor, is that while we cannot hope to defeat Morgoth, at least we may assail him. But Nargothrond will not do so unless you lead it into battle. And you will not lead it into battle unless you convince its people you are worthy to do so. And the way to doing that, lies first through my people. Win our respect, and you will win that of the others, or at least the majority. Not as quickly as you would prefer, but in the blink of an eye as we account it."
"You seek to use me for your own ends. Though we are of the same mind on this matter, I do not like it. Though mortal, I am no child."
"Then you would know why I seek to 'use' you, as you put it?"
"I would."
"Because I hate Morgoth. Anything I can do to harm him, I call good."
Turin laughed. This Elf was unlike any others he had met. "Well said, my fell friend! I shall do as you suggest. If indeed there are others of like mind here, we will do great harm to him, before we die."
"That is my hope. As he laid a curse on your father's kin, so his deeds led to a curse being laid on all of my kin, even the fair people of Finrod, who were indeed as blameless as the young children of Hurin. For that, he must pay."
With that, Celebrimbor departed, leaving Turin alone to his thoughts.
A/N: Celebrimbor would know a curse of a Vala when he saw one. And Turin must have had help in winning supporters.
"Say this to Manwe Sulimo, High King of Arda: if Feanor cannot overthrow Morgoth, at least he delays not to assail him, and sits not idle in grief." - Feanor, The Silm.
"Secrecy is not finally possible: arms are the only wall against Morgoth" - Turin, The Children of Hurin

Charli XCX reinvents her style as an exuberant brand of New Wave Pop.
When just before SXSW 2014, the Coachwhips announced they'd reunite for the festival in the original lineup, garage rockers worldwide let out a collective hoot.
SXSW still rocked. No doubt about that. But there was more Electronic Music & Hip Hop on display than ever before.
NPR'S much buzzed-about showcase delivers a varied approach to SXSW.
In a festival where everyone seeks to stand out, Connan Mockasin makes it look easy.
Austin may be known for Mexican food, and for good reason. But that's far from the only notable cuisine you'll find in Austin.

The OpenSource Radeon drivers are at a similar functional level to the Intel ones. Do they work too? Or are we forced to use Catalyst?
Phoronix: It's Easy Getting Intel Graphics To Work On SteamOS
While Valve only advertises NVIDIA graphics driver support in the SteamOS Beta released on Friday, I already found that AMD Radeon GPUs work with Catalyst on this Debian Linux derived OS. With a simple tweak, Intel HD Graphics can also run quite fine on SteamOS...
The OpenSource Radeon drivers are at a similar functional level to the Intel ones. Do they work too? Or are we forced to use Catalyst?
Most likely you can use the open source drivers, just that being focused to gamers, the blob is probably the default (I mean, I don't see gamers running Steam caring too much about the open source drivers).
But why would you use Intel graphics for gaming...?!
This is not because of caring about the drivers being Free, but rather that they actually do perform much better than Catalyst in pretty much all games. It's more of a pragmatic thing.
But yes, any newly built or bought Steam Machines are likely going to have GCN cards, so the Free driver is not yet suitable yet. Valve is probably waiting on AMD to release a better blob before "officially" supporting it.

It's quite possible that someone would have a new Haswell based laptop with Iris graphics that wants to try dual booting Steam OS or booting it from a USB drive just to try it out. It's also possible that someone with a slightly older laptop with HD 4x00 series graphics available would want to test it.
Personally, I have a four year old plus laptop designed for gaming which I might want to use to check out Steam OS that has Radeon 4850 graphics (pretty good when it was purchased). Right now the open source drivers are almost the only choice (unless you want to run an older Catalyst driver) for a graphics card that is still reasonably capable.
Some things that have happened with AMD lately almost make me wonder if it's actually going to be continued acceleration of development of the open source driver that makes AMD better on Steam OS rather than newer versions of the Catalyst for Linux driver. It seems like they'd want to fix the Catalyst driver, but I've seen way more action on the open source side lately.

Discover Raf Simons' inspirations for his fall-winter 2014-2015 ready-to-wear collection, halfway between homage to Christian Dior's legacy and streetwear references.
Each detail of the collection is a manifesto of modernity, each garment, by revisiting the legacy of Christian Dior in a contemporary world, is a daring surprise. First of all, there's the anglomania of the founding couturier, a great lover of the sharp tailoring of Savile Row, which served to inspire Raf Simons in the double-breasted pinstripe flannel suits, the cashmere frock coats, and men's shirts worn as dresses. Revisited in striking colors, teamed with feminine accessories, these building blocks of the male wardrobe sketch out the silhouette of a powerful woman, at once business woman and sensual seductress. From look to look, sports blazer to stiletto-sneakers, shirtdress to handbags with a briefcase vibe,
Raf Simons has defined a Dior woman of multiple identities, energetically slipping from one role to another. Active in a day suit, glamorous in a cocktail dress, she embodies the House's timeless elegance. But the Dior codes also prove amenable to an injection of the street: the waist of the Bar jackets is accentuated by lacing taken directly from sportswear, classic pumps rise from colorful sporty soles, and the cocktail dresses, whose necklines recall ones Christian Dior designed in the 1950s, are set off by graphic cut-outs and bright colors, evoking the superposing inherent to streetwear.

Lou Gramm Still Hoping For Foreigner Reunion With Mick Jones
Friday, September 27, 2013
Although Mick Jones has gone on record stating that there are no plans for Lou Gramm to rejoin Foreigner -- Gramm is itching to reunite. The pair's performance of "I Want To Know What Love Is" and "Juke Box Hero" in June at the Songwriters Hall Of Fame marked the first time the pair has performed together in a decade after Gramm left Foreigner for a second time. Gramm recently released his critically acclaimed autobiography, Juke Box Hero: My Five Decades In Rock N' Roll, which deals with his often tumultuous relationship with Jones and his recovery from both his battle with substance abuse and near fatal brain tumor in 1997.
Gramm spoke frankly about playing with Jones again, telling Bravewords.com: "Mick and I have renewed our friendship, we were both inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame a few months ago in New York City. . . and we renewed the friendship and we performed together that night. It was a lot of fun. So I think, to me, that's the most important thing -- that a guy that I created with, and spent a good portion of my life performing with, that we do not remain strangers -- the friendship is now renewed again."
When pressed about any plans to perform with Jones, Gramm said, "Don't know. . . I'm wide open to any plans. I would love to do something with my old band mate again. I think it would be fun."
Mick Jones, who is the sole original member of Foreigner still recording and touring with the band, explained that he had sensed for a while that Lou Gramm was seeking greener pastures prior to their split: "Through the '90s, y'know, Lou and I were kind of really not seeing eye-to-eye. And I always felt since the late-'80s and '90s that Lou was far more interested in doing a solo career. So I'd been fighting a long time and I just wanted to resuscitate the band and see if I could really present a band like I felt Foreigner deserved to be."
Jones told us that he's thrilled with the fact that the older the songs get -- the younger the audience seems to be: "Luckily, we have a lot of great attendance at our shows and it's fun playing for younger folk. There's a lot of interest from younger people that must've heard it passed down from their parents, their siblings or whatever. Y'know, some nights you look out there and you wonder what year it is. It's like kids singing the songs, know the lyrics, go crazy and it's like, wow, am I still. . . is this still happening, y'know (laughs)?" )
Foreigner performs on Friday (September 27th) in Norfolk, Nebraska at Divots Event Center.
Lou Gramm will next perform on October 5th in Tobique, NB at the River Valley Civic Center.

Garcia, Dayton back in the 3A state semifinals
DAYTON — Friday's 3A state quarterfinal playoff game between No.1-ranked Dayton and No. 5-ranked Willamina was never in doubt. This time there was no nail-biting finish or game-winning touchdown run. The Pirates (10-0) pulled away in the third quarter and won 54-20 in front of a loud home crowd at Coach Dewey Sullivan Stadium.
Dayton moves onto the 3A state semifinals for the third consecutive season and will play Santiam Christian in a much anticipated rematch of last season's state final at 7 p.m. Saturday at Willamette University. With the loss, the Bulldogs' (7-4) season is over.
The star of the night was never in doubt either. Dayton senior running back Forrest Garcia controlled the ground game.
"Forrest definitely had a good game," Willamina coach Tim France said. "The offensive line was able to open up good holes for him and that's when he did some damage. We know what he's capable of and know what he does and how he does it, but just because you know it's coming, doesn't mean you can always stop it."
Garcia rushed for 145 yards and three touchdowns, but it was something he said wasn't supposed to happen.
"I was really out there as a decoy," Garcia said. "They tend to key in on me so much that we worked on a passing attack game plan instead of running and it worked well tonight."
Dayton quarterback Nathan Bernards passed for 227 yards and two touchdowns.
"(Bernards) had a great game," Dayton coach Brodie Unger said. "All year we've been trying to progress with his reads and we want to establish more of a pass game and he's done a very good job and leads our offense."
Garcia gave the Pirates their first lead at 15-8 early in the second quarter. The Dayton offense was on the 13-yard line when Bernards handed the ball to Garcia, who went right, cut further to the right to throw off two Willamina defenders, and easily got into the end zone for the score.
"Last time we ran a lot of 'thunder' plays," Garcia said. "It was a lot of up the middle, up the middle, but this time we wanted to get to the outside on them and it worked for us."
With 1 minute, 4 seconds remaining in the second Bernards and receiver Justin Sutton powered the Pirates inside the 10-yard line, and Garcia took over again.
"I wasn't designated to be the goal line guy," Garcia said. "Things just kind of worked out that way and it helped us score points and win the game."
Garcia took the ball from Bernards and again went to the right and ran in it for the score from six yards out to give Dayton the 22-8 lead going into the half. He finished the first half with 65 yards rushing.
Dayton kept pushing to start the third quarter. With 9:50 left in the third quarter, Bernards took the ball from the six yard line, rolled to the left and ran it in for the 29-8 lead.
At 11:25 in the fourth, Garcia returned to action and put the stamp on the Dayton win. He took the handoff, cut left into an open lane and sprinted 34 yards, giving the Pirates the insurmountable 41-14 lead.
On Dayton's next defensive possession it was Garcia who picked off Willamina quarterback Trevor Hunt and ran it back 74 yards for the defensive score to make it 48-14.
Now the Pirates are faced with yet another rematch. Dayton remembers that tough loss in the state finals a year ago vs. Santiam Christian, and Garcia insists a victory will depend on execution and preparation.
"Definitely have to work hard," he said. "And get ready for their elusive offense and our defense has to step up. The better defense will win the game.
Notes: Willamina had 175 total yards. It rushed for 136 yards. … Tyson Jahn had 116 yards rushing and one touchdown. … Trevor Hunt passed for 39 yards and threw for one interception. He also ran for one touchdown. … Edwin Villalobos rushed for 20 yards and scored one touchdown.

Cirebon (formerly referred to as Cheribon in English) is a port city on the north coast of the Indonesian island of Java. It is located in the province of West Java near the provincial border with Central Java, approximately 297km east of Jakarta. Cirebon itself is known as Grage in the Cirebon dialect of Javanese language, which came from the words "Negara Gede", meaning "Great Kingdom."
The seat of a former Sultanate, the city's West and Central Java border location have seen its history influenced by both Sundanese and Javanese culture as well as Chinese. As with other coastal cities in Indonesia, a large population of ethnic Chinese has flocked into the city as a result of long-term Chinese immigration since the 17th century. Although surrounded by Sundanese-speaking areas in West Java, linguists have stated clearly that Cirebon (and the historically related region of Serang city in Banten Province) are Javanese language areas. However, the Cirebon dialect is sufficiently different from the dominant south central Javanese dialect.
Batik textiles from Cirebon are particularly renowned. The Tari Topeng Cirebon, or Cirebon mask dance, is a dance style peculiar to the city. Tarling is a musical tradition reminiscent of Bandung's kecapi suling music with except that it features guitar, suling (bamboo flute) and voice. As a coastal city, Cirebon's main industry is fishing. Its products include terasi (shrimp paste), shrimp crackers and salted fish.
Cirebon is known for local foods, such as nasi lengko (rice mixed with bean sprouts, fried tofu, fried tempeh, topped with peanut sauce and soy sauce), nasi jamblang (rice of various side dishes), empal gentong ( a kind of curry ), tahu gejrot (fried tofu topped with thin and sweet soy sauce), tahu tek-tek (fried tofu topped with peanut sauce and mixed with vegetables) and ayam panggang (barbecue chicken). Another native food is "Docang" (lontong with sour vegetable soup).
Swiss-Belhotel Cirebon offers a new style of convenient accommodation in Cirebon. Designed in modern and contemporary décor, each guestroom is equipped with all the standard facilities expected of a 4-star international hotel.
Tempt your taste buds with the delightful International, Asian and Indonesian menu at Swiss-Café. The View Lounge and Bar offers selections of snacks, cocktails and mocktails throughout the day.

Consolidating trials argued for suspects in Farmington slaying
Thursday, December 20, 2012
DOVER — A trial for defendants Christopher Gay and Cory Bennett, for their alleged killing of Ryan Stewart of Farmington, will be scheduled for October 2013.
On Wednesday, Assistant Attorney General James C. Vara summarized the details of the case, some of them gruesome, while the defendants sat in silence. Two attorneys representing Gay argued against the state's motion for consolidation to combine the two defendants in a joint trial, but Judge John M. Lewis said he would make a motion to accept the request, pending other circumstances.
"Cell phones are like computers these days," he said.
When confronted by police, the defendants reportedly both told police they had not been near Stewart's property on the night of his death, and were at the Bunker Street residence drinking beer and listening to music. Gay told police he left around 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. for Walmart to get more beer and a telephone but on Wednesday, Vara said Gay left out the fact that he had purchased a bandanna as well.
Vara said he couldn't speak for Bennett, but paraphrased his statements, alleging Bennett admitted in an interview Gay is "a thug and he's the one who was involved in this." Bennett's mother, Lisa Hitter, previously told Foster's she couldn't imagine her son doing something like this.
