Pulp Fantasy Library: Pledged to the Dead

Among the many lessons of history is that tastes can vary greatly over time. I've oft-lamented, for example, that the name of Abraham Merritt is not better known and lauded today, as he was in his own lifetime. Another author who is, if anything, even more obscure than Merritt is Seabury Quinn. Among the small number of people who still recognize his name, Quinn is often dismissed out of hand as a hack of the lowest sort. This may be due to the fact that, during his lifetime, Quinn wrote over 500 short stories, a great many of which appeared in the pages of Weird Tales (indeed 60% of all issues between 1923 and 1954 include at least one story him). And while it's true that not all of Quinn's output is worthy of consideration, even his worst work often has, in my opinion, clever ideas and obvious authorial enthusiasm. In his day, Quinn was, by far and away, the most popular author writing in Weird Tales and even H.P. Lovecraft, who was no fan of his stories, found him an "exceedingly tasteful & intelligent" man.

One of Quinn's longest running series (nearly 100 stories in all) concerned the detective Jules de Grandin. De Grandin is a French physician, police officer, and expert on the supernatural. Traveling with his companion, Dr. Trowbridge, who plays Watson to his Holmes, he investigates crimes and solves mysteries in which the occult seems to be involved. One of the interesting things about the De Grandin stories is that, while the occult often is involved, that's not universally the case. Some mysteries are revealed to be the work of ordinary, albeit unhinged, human beings and it's this quality that I think contributes to the series's longevity. Starting a tale, you never know at the outset whether there actually is a werewolf on the prowl or if it's all an elaborate hoax concocted to throw De Grandin off the scent.

Like the Sherlock Holmes stories, the De Grandin mysteries are told from the perspective of Trowbridge, who acts as a first-person narrator. The October 1937 story, "Pledged to the Dead," provides a good example both of this device and Quinn's style:
The autumn dusk had stained the sky with shadows and orange oblongs traced the windows in my neighbors' homes as Jules de Grandin and I sat sipping kaiserschmarrn and coffee in the study after dinner. "Mon Dieu," the little Frenchman sighed, "I have the mal du pays, my friend. The little children run and play along the roadways at Saint Cloud, and on the Ile de France the pastry cooks set up their booths. Corbleu, it takes the strength of character not to stop and buy those cakes of so much taste and fancy! The Napoléons, they are crisp and fragile as a coquette's promise, the éclairs filled with cool, sweet cream, the cream-puffs all aglow with cherries. Just to see them is to love life better. They——"
The shrilling of the door-bell startled me. The pressure on the button must have been that of one who leant against it. "Doctor Trowbridge; I must see him right away!" a woman's voice demanded as Nora McGinnis, my household factotum, grudgingly responded to the hail.
"Th' docthor's offiss hours is over, ma'am," Nora answered frigidly. "Ha'f past nine ter eleven in th' marnin', an' two ter four in th' afthernoon is when he sees his patients. If it's an urgent case ye have there's lots o' good young docthors in th' neighborhood, but Docthor Trowbridge——"
"Is he here?" the visitor demanded sharply.
"He is, an' he's afther digestin' his dinner—an' an illigant dinner it wuz, though I do say so as shouldn't—an' he can't be disturbed——"
"He'll see me, all right. Tell him it's Nella Bentley, and I've got to talk to him!"
De Grandin raised an eyebrow eloquently. "The fish at the aquarium have greater privacy than we, my friend," he murmured, but broke off as the visitor came clacking down the hall on high French heels and rushed into the study half a dozen paces in advance of my thoroughly disapproving and more than semi-scandalized Nora.
"Doctor Trowbridge, won't you help me?" cried the girl as she fairly leaped across the study and flung her arms about my shoulders. "I can't tell Dad or Mother, they wouldn't understand; so you're the only one—oh, excuse me, I thought you were alone!" Her face went crimson as she saw de Grandin standing by the fire.
"It's quite all right, my dear," I soothed, freeing myself from her almost hysterical clutch. "This is Doctor de Grandin, with whom I've been associated many times; I'd be glad to have the benefit of his advice, if you don't mind."
She gave him her hand and a wan smile as I performed the introduction, but her eyes warmed quickly as he raised her fingers to his lips with a soft "Enchanté, Mademoiselle." Women, animals and children took instinctively to Jules de Grandin.
It's all fairly typical pulp prose, right down to the rather stereotypical way that De Grandin is portrayed. But, like a lot of pulp authors, if one can look past this -- or, alternately, luxuriate in it -- what one often finds is an engaging mystery filled with spectacle and creativity. In the case of "Pledged to the Dead," the story concerns the young woman, Nella Bentley, whom Dr. Trowbridge has known since she was a child. Nella is engaged to be married to Ned Minton, whom Trowbridge also knows. The two have been sweethearts since they were quite young, so their engagement and eventual marriage was a surprise to no one. However, after a trip to New Orleans, Ned calls off their engagement, claiming that he is no longer worthy of Nella's affections, a situation that his headstrong fiancée does not accept, which is why she turns to Dr. Trowbridge and his associate for help in determining just what has happened to him.

I don't think I'm giving anything away by revealing that the plot concerns Voodoo and its possible hold over Ned. Why else make the New Orleans connection if not to introduce Voodoo into the tale? Of course, what makes a good Seabury Quinn story worthwhile is not necessarily its originality of its basic ideas but rather the cleverness with which he takes well-worn tropes and plays with them. He does that in "Pledged to the Dead," employing Voodoo and all its paraphernalia in a fun way that makes for a good, if light, read. No one's going to be mentally challenged by a Quinn story -- that was never his intention -- but I do think people will enjoy them. If you've never read any of Seabury Quinn's fiction, it's worth doing so, even if it's just to see why he was so well regarded by the readers of Weird Tales. He's not to everyone's taste but he was very good at what he did.

  1. Yes, Seabury Quinn!! Many a CoC homebrew adventure was inspired by his tales. I've lauded him over the years, and held him aloft in the comments here many times. But I think you hit on it, it's his spark of life, the energy in his prose that makes him, in my eyes, a great author, and conversely, why I see HPL as a bit mundane, more than likely because his prose lacks that spark, that energy. Thanks for posting.

  2. My only petty objection to the Jules de Grandin tales is the silly French phrases thrown in here and there. Otherwise, yes, Quinn's works I enjoy, and it's easy to see why readers of Weird Tales made him their favored author over his, considered today, more popular contemporaries.

  3. For me, he's another unheard of and obscure author of Fantasy -- this Mr. Seabury Quinn. Thanks for making me aware of him, James. I very much appreciate it.

    Now, on to Google! :D

  4. Quinn's story, Roads, which is his version of the origin of Santa Claus, is a real classic and showed that he had more in him than just hacking stuff out, too.

  5. I will have to weigh in as a reader who distinctly did not enjoy his experience reading some of Seabury Quinn's Jules de Grandin stories, but then again I have never been a big fan of pastiche. There is a point (early on in the process I would say) where pastiche ceases to be tribute and morphs into stale parody. Look at the endless "Cthulhu" volumes that continue to be churned out, very little of which is original and worth reading. Given the number of stories that Quinn wrote, surely some of that must be "in his own voice". From Andy's description, "Roads" would appear to be just such a piece. It would be a worthwhile project to see such stories gathered and reissued. It would certainly be better than "Disciples of Cthulhu, volume 23".....

  6. My only petty objection to the Jules de Grandin tales is the silly French phrases thrown in here and there.

    Maybe I have a perverse sense of humor but I find those phrases charmingly goofy. If you don't know French, they won't distract and, if you do, to hear De Grandin swear "by the beard of the goldfish," is rather funny. At least I thought so. :)

Middle American Radicals Want a Demagogue

John Judis has an interesting take on "The Intellectual History of Trump Supporters".  He connects them with an analysis from the 1970s of "Middle American Radicals," moderately educated white populists who strongly oppose the government and the bankers, the non-whites and the immigrants. They have a strong affinity with the Tea Party constituency.  And the Tea Party is drawn to Donald Trump.

The main things the MARS voters want is a strong man to fight all their enemies.  Or, as I argued recently, they want a demagogue.

Fortunately, Judis points out, there are not enough of them to elect a demagogue.  They may make up as much as 20% of the electorate, but that still does not get their guy elected.  He predicts that Trump - like George Wallace, Ross Perot, and Pat Buchanan before him - will fade away.

Mac said...

Judis's article is excellent. I believe that you have resorted to hyperbole by saying the the article supports your conclusion that Middle America wants a demagogue. (I suspect that you will quibble that there is a difference between "middle America" and "Middle American Radicals." So be it.)

Judis says that the American Middle Class, especially what he refers to as the lower middle class, are hungry for a leader. He is right. The mainstream of the Democrat and Republican Parties have failed to introduce such a leader--favoring, instead, leftists (Clinton, Sanders, and Warren) in the Democrat Party and Tea Party hardliners/doctrinaires on the far right of the Republican Party. When someone like Trump comes along who speaks in language the man in the street understands and can identify with, the people turn thirstily to him. To an eastern intellectual (and even to me, a midwesterner born and bred), Trump may appear to be a demagogue. To the guy in rural America, the unemployed guy in the rust belt, and the family tired of seeing their taxes redistributed to free-loaders, he sounds like a savior.

Gruntled said...

The American middle class and middle America includes me. Middle American Radicals, by contrast, does not. In fact, as Judis describes them, the Middle American Radicals are petite bourgeois, and are driven to their angry positions from fear of falling out of the middle class.

Ferrari Enzo Successor

The successor to the Ferrari Enzo, the Ferrari F70, has been spotted out testing in Germany. Obviously, the pictures reveal very little about the finished car. Ferrari have kept the design of the new hypercar very close to their chest. The car in the pictures is heavily camouflaged and extremely distorted compared to what we expect to be unveiled at Geneva next year.

The Ferrari Enzo successor will feature the Ferrari V12 HY-KERS Powertrain hybrid powertrain unveiled yesterday at the Beijing Motor Show. This couples a Ferrari V12, rumoured to measure 7.3 liters, with two electric motors. The V12 will give 800hp and the electric motors will boost this by 120hp to give a total figure of 920hp. This places the Ferrari Enzo just short of the Veyron in terms of power, yet in a market of its own as one of the worlds most powerful hybrid engines.

The car will use carbon fiber and aluminium extensively to keep weight down to an incredible 1,130kg, over 200kg lighter than the Enzo. This will mean a power to weight ratio of 0.81hp per kilogram which can be compared to the Enzo’s 0.48hp figure and the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport’s 0.64hp figure. As the powertrain’s name also suggests, the KERS regenerative braking system utilised in Formula 1 will play a part in the F70’s power systems.

A lot of the above is pure speculation though. As we said, Ferrari are keeping details scarce. Development is well under way and the powertrain has been officially announced. However, we a re now expecting to see the Ferrari F70 at next years Geneva Motor Show rather than the Paris Motor Show in September. Needless to say, we will keep you updated!

Clash Royale Hog and Freeze Arena 8 Deck

Clash Royale Hog and Freeze Arena 8 Deck by Royalex

Hey guys, this deck was shared by Justin (leader of the Clan “The Elite” which is ranked at #5 US) and I’m here to showcase a deck that needs some love!

Average Elixir Cost: 3.1

  • Hog – There are 2 staples in this deck and hog is one of them. Hog absolutely cannot be replaced as it’s the main offensive card. Any other card changes the deck / strategy entirely.
  • Freeze – Freeze is the other staple and synergizes with just about every card in the deck.
  • Fireball – In this meta, it’s crucial to have a spell damage card. It’s not required, but many decks need at least one spell damage card to be viable (this is one of those decks). Lightning and rocket won’t cut it because they don’t provide cheap splash damage.
  • Tesla – Without tesla, this deck would be super weak against air troops. Also, tesla provides great defense to ground troops too!
  • Cannon – Since this deck sits at such a low elixir cost, often times there is excess elixir in your hand, but you aren’t ready to attack. Therefore, cannon is a nice card to drop for defense while you set up your attack.
  • Skeletons (1 elixir) – Synergizes so well with freeze because they do so much damage for 1 elixir, they just have low health is the flaw. However, freeze plays around that flaw because it freezes their damage. Skeletons also act as a super cheap distraction while your defensive buildings have time to shoot.
  • Spear Goblins – They provide ranged defense and offense. They can also provide distraction like the skeletons. Along with the tesla, this card allows for easy handling versus air troops.
  • Knight – I may be biased toward this card, but I truly believe it’s great for this deck. The troops used in this deck are so susceptible to splash damage and knight is the cheapest counter to that. Example: Many people follow up golems with splash damage like bomber, princess and wiz. If you drop your goblins or skeletons, they’ll just get dumped on quickly. However, if you drop knight to tank the splash damage then drop the small troops to target the golem or the opponent’s backup troops, then you should be good.

This deck is HEAVILY reliant on freeze. Being precise with freeze is one of the biggest factors when it comes to climbing high with this strategy. Your offense is basically hog + freeze (often times with skeletons and spear goblins too when you have extra elixir or when you have those troops left over from defending). You don’t want to attack obviously when your opponent has high elixir, so you mainly defend THEN attack. If you want to attack first because your deck is filled with offensive cards, (like hog + freeze + spear goblins + skeletons) be weary not to overspend. Defending isn’t too difficult with two buildings and fireball, but you definitely want to be cautious when you defend too (so that you don’t overspend on defense because the extra elixir can be used for offense). If you successfully defend and spend less than your opponent, you will have more elixir on your attack. If you successfully defend and spend more than your opponent, you can still attack and use the leftover tesla and cannon health to help defend the next attack.

Basic Tips:

  • If nothing is happening, drop buildings when you’re near 10 elixir. I know this is simple but I always see people forget this in the middle of the match because they lose their cool. Dropping too early wastes the lifetime of the building.
  • When you’re opponent is low on elixir, ATTACK.
  • Buildings should generally be dropped in the middle, and 4-5 tiles above the king tower. Cannon has to lean toward one side, so learn toward the side that you need to defend more or the side that you plan to attack.
  • Use skeletons to distract troops while your defensive buildings take them out (make sure you do this in range of all your buildings so that you’re maximizing the usage of your defenses).
  • Use fireball on barbs or minion horde. If they have both, use them on barbs generally and have your tesla and spear goblins defend against minions.
  • If your hog is directly behind a knight, it can push the knight quickly forward to their side of the base.

Advanced Tips:

  • When you freeze their building(s), don’t freeze immediately. Wait till your hog is about half health, that way you can patiently wait to see if they drop troops also. Freezing buildings + troops is better than freezing just buildings.
  • If you are going to fireball a building with hog running at their tower, do so early because if the hog needs to attack the building and you fireball too slow, the hog may do more damage than necessary.
  • When you drop hog to go for a tower, drop it all the way on the side, it may avoid targeting towers in some cases.
  • Freeze can be used defensively too. If you have defensive buildings and troops up, freeze can give you so much time to get off a TON of damage.
  • If one of your opponent’s tower is very low and the game still has a lot of time, start targeting the other tower. If you get rid of the tower too early and the game is 1-1, their king tower will make it harder for you to get the second tower. However, if you leave one tower alive at low health, you can start going for the other tower and just finish the first one off with less than 30 seconds left (I do this often but only when a tower can be fireballed to death).
  • If you’re opponent has lightning, try to keep only one defensive building up at a time at most. If you do this, you can drop another defensive building to defend after they get rid of your first one so that their lightning doesn’t get that much value.

Playing against certain decks:

  • Golem – Golem is pretty easy. Whenever they drop elixir collector or golem, that’s an opportunity to attack with hog + freeze and you should get a lot of damage off on a tower due to that. When defending, drop knight behind the golem to tank and while your other troops and buildings attack the golem. Be careful because the explosion can destroy your troops.
  • So many buildings – This is the toughest deck against hog. You need to generate a lot of value from fireball by making sure to target their buildings and troops at the same time. When you push offensively, use more elixir than you usually would by dropping all your troops to reinforce your attack. If I win this matchup, my opponent often times makes a mistake (but everyone makes mistakes, you just have to capitalize on it). If you can’t do anything about this, go for a draw.
  • Pekka – Pekka is easy too. You have skeletons and spear goblins, it shouldn’t be tough. Attack the other lane with hog + freeze (save your other troops) when he drops pekka.
  • Prince / dark prince – Make sure you have your buildings ready for their offensive attack. Drop knight to take both charges first, then drop your other troops behind the prince. Dark prince is usually in front so dark prince should be taken out pretty quickly by your buildings and then your troops should be able to distract the prince.
  • Xbow or mortar – This matchup requires a lot of skill. Once one of your tower takes some hits, you know they’re going to aim for that tower for the rest of the game. Drop buildings all the way up on the side they’re targeting and you should be fine because your small troops can distract whatever they drop while your defensive buildings do damage. Tesla can reach xbow or mortar if it can attack your tower but cannon can’t if they place it perfectly. If you drop cannon in front of your towers though, the mortar will target that. It’s hard to explain because it’s so fast paced but trust me, you’ll figure it out over time as long as you pay attention to what tower they’re targeting.

This deck is absolutely amazing. I’m super knowledgeable on this deck and I can talk so much strategy about it. I’m better at responding than thinking on the top of my head though, so shoot me with questions and I’ll reply as soon as I can. This is my first guide and if it goes well, I will make more in the future. Please leave me suggestions for the future and comments so I know that I at least did something right. I love CR a lot and I just want to share with the community

The Covenanters of Lower Chanceford

Been a long time since I posted here but I stumbled on the Rev. Alexander Craighead (aka Creaghead), who was an early Presbyterian minister in PA and then points south.  One of the Covenanters and apparently a man very firm in his beliefs, who had problems making common cause with other Presbyterians.

From the introduction to one of his works:
"At the time of the renewal of the Covenants, in 1743, there were at least seven regularly organized Covenanter societies in Eastern Pennsylvania, in each of which were ruling elders, as follows: Middle Octorara, Lancaster County, with elders Samuel Irwin, Josiah Kerr, and Robert Laughead. Pequea, Lancaster County, with elders Neal McNaughton, William Ramsey, and Joseph Walker. Muddy Run, Lancaster County, with elders Joseph Bell and John Brownlee. Lower Chanceford, York County, with elders Samuel Hawthorne and Samuel Jackson. Paxtang, Dauphin County, with elders James Brown, James Mitchel, and Andrew Smith. Rocky Spring, Franklin County, with elders Christopher Houston and James Willson. Rock Creek, Adams County, with elders Robert McCullock and Thomas Wilson. No doubt many of these elders, and a large number of the people, were present at Middle Octorara, and entered into the proceedings of the solemn covenanting occasion."

HBO News Blog

Development Slate: Ryan Murphy’s OPEN; David Fincher & More

By Jef Dinsmore on Sep 9, 2013 to HBO News

dev-logoI’m sitting on a bit of information here. I think it is well past time to share it with HBOWatch and its followers. I’ll break it down project by project. Now some of these items are small facts, but put together they prove that a number of production teams want to work with HBO and that can only spell good news for fans. What you will discover is a number of developments in various stages of preparation as either confirmed shows or films forthcoming on HBO or as early plans for potential entertainment for the network.

  • Ryan Murphy’s OPEN

Ryan Murphy, of Glee and American Horror Story, has a couple of projects for HBO. One of them is a relationship drama entitled OPEN. HBOWatch first reported on this show back on 05.09.13. A Pilot episode was commissioned and news has now surfaced of the leads we expect to see if the series is picked up. Of course, due to Murphy’s track record it is quite likely OPEN will appear on the network.

OPEN_bentleyWes Bentley (pictured) will play the handsome but arrogant Evan Foster, a bit of a blowhard who loves espousing his theories on human sexuality. Scott Speedman is Jonathan, a handsome sports marketing executive. Anna Torv (Fringe) plays Windsor, a yoga instructor and Jennifer Jason Leigh (Revenge) is Holly who is a career-driven actress. These women are in a relationship with each other. Together these characters explore the intimate side of their lives and the meaningful relations they try to build and maintain.

  HBO, of course, is one of the few outlets that will allow a frank and up-front discussion of these issues as HBO did briefly once before with TELL ME YOU LOVE ME.  Of OPEN Ryan Murphy has stated that “I’m thrilled about it. [Over at HBO] they have great projects, and this is really an adult show that is very frank in its depiction of sex.” Production is said to be underway.

  • A SILICON VALLEY Setback?MikeJudge

SILICON VALLEY co-creators John Altschuler and David Krinsky are no longer involved with the HBO series! At first I thought that a bad situation that would derail the production. Au contraire, Mike Judge is still onboard and it is his comedic sense that we are familiar with anyway. Judge  (pictured right) will be the primary show-runner on the single-camera comedy, set in the high-tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley. Altschuler & Krinsky are stepping back from day-to-day operations to run the overall production company.

 HBOWatch reported on the series concept back in 12.12 then announced the pilot shoot on 03.13 and on 05.17.13 announced a first season commitment from HBO. That was all pending on cast retooling which hasn’t happened it appears; it is just behind the scene shuffling going on. So, SILICON VALLEY should show up onscreen in 2014. We will watch for it.

  • Lorne Michaels Produces Salahuddin & Riddle Pilot

Okay, I’m sure you at least recognize the name Lorne Michaels. He is the producer behind every season of Saturday Night Live and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and he has some projects developing at HBO. One of them is PEOPLE IN NEW JERSEY which we actually have had little news about even though it got underway last year. The other project to be executive produced by Michaels is moving a lot faster.

 Riddle_SalahuddinThe untitled project is a half-hour comedy being written and acted by Bashir Salahuddin (at left) and Diallo Riddle (far left). Now, they may not be anyone recognizable unless you stay up late to watch Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. They are the writing team behind several of the skits performed on Fallon’s show. They will star as Bashir and Diallo, two 30-year old-reporters, as they try to make it big in the burgeoning black mecca of contemporary Atlanta.

 Signed up to join them in the pilot will be Dorian Messick (Criminal Minds) as Jay, an ex-Harvard classmate of Bashir and Diallo who has reached fame and success within the community in Atlanta; Tasie Lawrence as Chloe, a 20-something photographer who is assigned to Bashir and Diallo because her father runs the Atlanta Torch, the newspaper where they work; Barry Shabaka Henley as Buddy, Chloe’s father and Bashir & Diallo’s boss and Siena Goines as Simone, an accomplished author who has an on-again, off-again relationship with Riddle. All of these people are out to make their mark in the New South and on HBO. As par the course, we will see whether it makes it to series or gets passed over.

  • David Fincher’s UTOPIA

HBO continues to get more and more talents looking at making content for the premium channel. Now David Fincher, director and producer of a large number of cinematic favorites like Fight Club and, dare I say it, HBO rival (?) Netflix’s House of Cards plans a remake for HBO. HBO has gained the American television rights to the BBC’s UTOPIA series and Fincher is interested in the State-side version. Utopia

The work is described as a dark and enigmatic thriller where we find “The Utopian Experiment” which is a legendary graphic novel shrouded in mystery – its pages contain prophesies. But when a small group of previously unconnected people find themselves in possession of an original manuscript, their lives suddenly and brutally implode. Targeted swiftly and relentlessly by a murderous organization known as The Network, the terrified group are left with only one option if they want to survive: they have to run.

 Again, Mr. Fincher is just sniffing around the project; an odd project at that. Does it sound like it is up HBO’s alley? We know that the network and the BBC are in cahoots so it doesn’t seem surprising that they had their pick of what program they wanted to give the Yankee treatment too. Will UTOPIA come to HBO? We will keep an eye on it.

  • Jay Roach Comedy Project

Jay Roach is tjayRoachoying around with a comedy series for HBO. He has, of course, done well for the network having won awards for his HBO Films RECOUNT and GAME CHANGE. After those politically themed movies did well Mr. Roach was granted a further development deal and is now pursuing a concept called THE THIRD COAST.

 It is only in the planning stages but it is to be single-camera shot comedy about the life of a casting director from New Mexico. How about that title? New Mexico is “The Land of Enchantment” which sounds like a better title already.  So, if you saw the documentary CASTING BY just think of the stories told in it coupled with an ENTOURAGE or a VEEP feel then you might have this series, maybe? Anyway, it is way too early to say.

 What we can say that is that it is being written by Paul Rudnick and produced and directed by Roach. Also on board is their lead in actress Annette Bening who is to play the larger-than life casting director. She is no stranger to HBO either as she starred in 2005’s HBO Film: MRS. HARRIS.  We look forward to what Bening and roach offer.

  • HBO’s GETTING ON is getting on HarrydeanStanton

 HBOWatch has had a couple of posts about GETTING ON, but the most recent mention was on 03.21.13 when we announced it was going to shoot a season worth of episodes with Laurie Metcalf, Niecy Nash and Alex Borstein in the leads.

 Now we note here that appearances to the season will be made by actors Harry Dean Stanton (pictured) and Daniel Stern. In the U. S. version of the BBC medical comedy Mr. Stanton will play Leonard Butler, a horny octogenarian still looking for sex with his girlfriend from the assisted living facility. Of course Stanton worked for the show-runners Mark V. Olsen & Will Scheffer before as Roman Grant in their show BIG LOVE.  Mr. Stern will play Richard James who is the husband to the director of the facility Dr. James, who is the Laurie Metcalf role. There is no word yet as to when this show will air but there is no reason not to expect it on the lineup in 2014.

That is the first six of twelve Slate items for you. I’ll offer the back six later this week. Mull this news over for now. You know, with all these shows shooting pilots and actual episodes it may be time to do the 2014 Schedule speculation piece. Hmmm?

  • Weez

    I’m hoping this means HBO plans to go to two nights of original programming a week in a big way. I think Boardwalk will get picked up for a fifth season (despite the season premiere numbers being down – it’s some rough competition, and the show does really well when total viewing numbers are considered), and I’m sure The Newsroom and Family Tree will be renewed (if HBO can work out a deal with the BBC in the latter case, anyway), so besides Treme and Enlightened, and Eastbound & Down every other show that aired this year will be getting another season (and they’ve still got to air Hello Ladies and the new Chris Lilley series for this year, as well as True Detective & Getting On in January).

    Since they’ve also got the Westworld adaptation with J.J. Abrams, The Spark (from the guy who created Last Resort, IIRC), The Leftovers with Damon Lindelof, American Gods from Neil Gaiman, Monster with Guillermo del Toro, The Missionary, the rock & roll series from Scorsese starring Bobby Cannavale, and that comedy series set in Miami with Dwayne Johnson and the drama series set in Miami from John Legend (in addition to anything I’m forgetting), my initial thought is that they’re planning to move to two nights a week. And now might be the perfect time to do it. With HBO Go becoming such a valuable asset for them, the more new original content they can provide for the platform, the better (as long as the quality stays high, of course). But what night would work best? Friday is best left to Real Time & (eventually) season two of Vice, and they already tried (and failed) to use Monday to launch a second night of programming. I’d say Tuesday would be their best bet, ultimately.

    In any case, it’s always exciting to be an HBO fan, though now possibly more than ever. Bring on the scheduling speculation post, I say!

Not the Story of CPRIT - Part 3: A Tangentially-Related Detour

I take a brief hiatus from relating the story of CPRIT to tell another story. This one is about a company that – please note – has no connection to CPRIT: Celltex Therapeutics. The tangential connection is that they are both in Texas and both are related to the mindset of some business folk and of our governor, Rick Perry, the man who recently stated that
[CPRIT was] . . . intended . . . to get cures into the public's arena as soon as possible and at the same time create economic avenues (from) which wealth can be created. Basic research takes a long time and may or may not ever create wealth.
A recent and excellent article in Bloomberg Businessweek discusses the Houston company and its founders, investor/businessman David Eller and orthopedic surgeon Stanley Jones, one of whose patients is Governor Perry. Celltex reached agreement with a South Korean company active in stem cell production and for a while, with the permission of the Texas Medical Board, charged a number of people large sums of money for treatment with stem cells produced in a lab from adult stem cells earlier removed from their bodies. These treatments were supposedly part of a clinical trial, but one without a placebo arm. Governor Perry himself received the treatment after his back operation, done by Dr. Jones, in summer 2011.

A leader of the South Korean company stated:
The reason we started in this way is that adult stem cells are not considered a drug in Texas. We had the expectation that treatment in Texas was possible without FDA approval.
However, Celltex ran into objections from the FDA to this. The FDA holds that the cultured and expanded cells are indeed a drug. As well, the FDA has had objections to the way both the IRB (for the clinical trial Celltex was supposed to be conducting) and the lab (to produce the cells) were operating. Last fall, treatment shut down for now. Governor Perry strongly disagrees with this shutdown:
Hopefully, the FDA will realize that what’s going on in Texas is good medicine and good economics.
Although this intermission is not technically related to CPRIT, I think it is nonetheless illuminating. We need to understand the mental model of people who want to rush stuff to patients. In this mental model, companies like Celltex are wonderful, inspiring examples. Like it or not, this is the brave new world of rapid commercialization Perry visualizes and advocates – and understanding that vision does have relevance to the CPRIT controversies.

School has been intense, hence the sparse updates, but I'm keeping up. I'm not getting the 100% I always strive for in either of my classes, but I still have a good chance of getting an A in both.

The poetry class is a lot of fun, and a lot of work. I really like breaking down the poems and discussing them, analyzing them for every little iota of meaning, but it can also be tedious, and emotionally draining, in a way. I'm exhausted after every essay I write, it takes all the energy I have to make my brain function like it used to so easily.

Luckily, the photo class has been energizing, if anything. I get to stretch my creativity without too much pressure, since it's a rather slow-paced class, and the feedback I've gotten from my teacher and classmates has been encouraging. I've turned out some images that surprised me, and I'm starting to take myself more seriously as a photographer. I don't know if I could make it into a living, but it's something I feel good about exploring and I think this will always be at least a hobby. I've got my store up (looking for a unique holiday gift? One-stop shopping!), and I've also got a facebook page, but I haven't sold much, and I have no idea how to market myself. Uploading to the facebook page and sharing when I post new images is anxiety-riddled enough.

I finished my xmas shopping online this morning! I'm just doing real presents for immediate family, and everyone else will get a homemade gift. I feel really on top of the holidays so far, though thanksgiving is weighing on me a bit.

The drive to the city -where my parents live and will be hosting turkey day festivities- is always hard on me, and then it's likely that stinky relatives will be coming. When I heard that, I really wanted to back out, I have no desire to put myself through the pain of perfume. But, I don't see my family much since we moved, and I miss them, so very, very much. Maybe I'll just dress warmly and hang out in the backyard? That's depressing, but I'd probably survive better.

Head wise, I've been ok. I've been struggling, in pain, and nauseated about as much as is usual, but I've still been productive and kicking ass, so I don't have much to complain about.

I've even gotten some crafting done lately. I sewed a hat from crocheted scraps; it looks a little odd, but it's cozy warm. I also took the hood off a knit zippered sweater and re-purposed it into pockets! I'm a little obsessed with having pockets.

I cut my hair off again, and it's so liberating. I'm hoping I can afford another cut before xmas, because it would be fun to shock my family with even shorter hair. But, my neck is kind of cold, so maybe this is short enough for now.

Brody: Bone marrow 'transplants' a lot safer now

Sandra Haber, a 65-year-old psychologist in Brooklyn, wants everyone to know how easy it is now to donate bone marrow.

Hers was failing. She was anemic, bled easily and had little resistance to infection. As her condition progressed toward leukemia, doctors at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center urged her to get a bone-marrow transplant. Fortunately, there was a donor: Testing showed that a sister living in New Mexico was a perfect match.

But at first Haber's sister was hesitant, fearful of the general anesthesia, painful withdrawal of marrow from a hip bone and difficult recovery she thought was involved. Yet she came to New York for further tests and learned that the process was simple and safe: basically a lengthy blood donation after a week of daily injections to spur her own bone marrow to produce an oversupply of stem cells.

About 90 percent of bone marrow "transplants" are now done this way, most often with stem cells from a matched donor's blood, sometimes from a baby's umbilical cord and placenta or the patient's own stem cells. After the recipient's own dysfunctional marrow is destroyed by intensive chemotherapy and sometimes total body radiation, the donated stem cells are infused into the recipient's blood through a special intravenous line, called a central line. The cells find their way to bone marrow, where they gradually restore the recipient's ability to produce red and white blood cells and platelets.

"A stem cell transplant is not a walk in the park," Haber said. "It's more like a marathon than a sprint, and the healing process is long and not linear."

It typically takes six months to a year to regain full blood cell production and immune function, during which special precautions are essential.

But when a life is saved, the challenges are worth it, recipients say. Haber said her weeks in the hospital in relative isolation were not especially difficult. She described the fatigue afterward as more of a hardship, but that, too, abated as she has gradually regained her former energy.

Now Haber wonders why a sign in her hospital still reads "Bone Marrow Transplant Unit," when marrow donation is a rarity and the thought of it may scare off potential donors.

Many in need of healthy bone marrow die before a good match can be found. Haber thinks if the language changed, far more people from diverse ethnic and racial groups might be willing to join the American Bone Marrow Donor Registry -- whose name perhaps should also be changed.

Donors must be 18 to 60 and healthy. Registration involves just a cheek swab from which the donor's tissue type is analyzed and stored in a national database.

When someone who needs new bone marrow has no close match among eligible relatives, doctors check the registry for a matching volunteer elsewhere. The need is especially great for patients who are African-American, Asian or of mixed ethnic or racial backgrounds.

A match is determined by checking proteins called HLA antigens present on cells from the donor and recipient. As with other traits, people inherit the genes that determine these antigens from each parent; the more genetically distant the parents, the less common the mix of antigens is likely to be. Without a very close match, the donor's cells are likely to attack the recipient's tissues, a potentially fatal complication called graft-versus-host disease.

Stem cell transplants can help people whose bone marrow is diseased or dysfunctional and unable to produce the red blood cells that carry oxygen, white blood cells that fight infections, or platelets that enable the blood to clot. Such conditions include cancers like leukemia, certain lymphomas, multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia; inherited disorders like sickle cell anemia and thalassemia; and severe immune deficiency disorders in newborns.

For cancer patients, a stem cell transplant offers an additional benefit: The new blood cells can attack errant cancer cells that may have survived the original chemotherapy.

Stem cell transplants are expensive, $100,000 to $200,000.

Prospective patients are urged to check with their insurance carriers before embarking on the process.

Menstrual Disorder Treatment

        Health | Menstrual Disorders

Menstrual Disorder Treatment: EMR

Hysteroscopic endometrial ablation or endomyometrial resection (EMR): during endometrial ablation the uterine lining is viewed through a hysteroscope and cauterized with an electrosurgical tip called a "rollerball" or with a laser. It's considered outpatient surgery and normally takes about 20 to 40 minutes. It is performed under general anesthesia and it should take you one to two days to recover, in most cases. Because the uterine lining is destroyed with this procedure, it is not recommended if you want to have children. Endomyometrial resection (EMR) is also a hysteroscopic technique. However, in this procedure the uterine lining and a quarter-inch of its underlying muscle is actually removed. EMR is generally associated with far better outcomes in terms of menstrual blood flow. Its main disadvantage is that it requires considerable technical expertise and should only be performed by highly qualified hysteroscopists.

Hysteroscopic procedures (rollerball and EMR) are acquired skills that and not every physician possesses. Make sure to ask yours about past experience in this procedure before agreeing to it. Rollerball thermal ablation and EMR require that your uterus be filled with fluid so that its contours may be visualized on a monitor. While viewing your uterus, the physician moves the rollerball or wire-loop electrode, which delivers an electrical current, from top to bottom of the uterus until the entire surface of the uterus has been cauterized or removed.

Risks associated with this procedure include uterine perforation, and fluid overload. Because the fluid pumped into your uterus is kept under pressure during the procedure, there is a slight risk that distention fluid may escape into the uterine blood vessels, upsetting the concentration of electrolytes, such as sodium, in your blood stream. This imbalance may be life threatening. However, the risk of fluid overload is rare in the hands of an experienced physician.

Recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April 2001, the Hydro ThermAblator® is a computer-controlled device that utilizes a hot saline solution to destroy specific tissue inside the uterus. After the patient has received anesthesia, the doctor inserts a hysteroscope and tubing through the vagina into the uterus. The heater canister, which is located outside the body, heats saline fluid (salt water) to a temperature of 194°F (90°C). With the aid of the pump and valves, the heated fluid is circulated through the HTA system and uterus for 10 minutes. The heated fluid directly contacts the innermost layer of tissue (endometrium) of the uterus. The exposure to heated fluid acts to destroy the endometrium.

Why do antibiotics cause nausea

Common Questions and Answers about Why do antibiotics cause nausea

Avatar n tn I had my gallbladder removed 3 years ago because of severe nausea, there was a large stone there but they usually don`t cause a problem ( it`s the small stones.) Much to my dismay,the nausea continued maybe even worsened. I had developed severe allergys and attributed the nausea to the mucus draining into stomach. Meds. to dry up sinuses eventuall stopped working. I am sick to my stomach all day nearly every day. My quality of life has steadily lessened. My ENT is of no help or understanding.
Avatar m tn I swear sometimes I wonder why I am not depressed.I do get frustrated. At this point, all I know to do is wait til I see the Hep C doctor. Hopefully you guys won't mind if I vent and gather info and support from all of you.
Avatar n tn There are some that do cause anxiety. I was on Biaxin and amoxicillin this summer and developed an anxiety problem from them.
Avatar f tn went to the dr yesterday, she said the lining of my stomach is inflamed and gave me pills for it, then more antibiotics for my kidney infection and referrals to get 2 ultrasounds and took my blood.
5264083 tn?1404669334 AVOID ANTIBIOTICS at all cost unless they are absolutely necessary. In my case unfortunately antibiotics are the only treatment for a UTI at this time so I forced to take them. Hope this helps some people.
974371 tn?1424656729 I have not had diarrhea, if anything, a bit constipated. Gosh, how do you deal with the daily nausea and abdominal pain? It is so upsetting because Christmas is closing in and my family comes home and I have to help my 90-year old mother who still insists on living alone and I have no back up. Just a fact of life and I need to be able to function not spend my days laying drown in pain. I am just one of those people that have problems with meds.
Avatar m tn You have four threads in this forum alone over the past two weeks. Do you see a pattern here? Do you see the big picture? You are unable to accept the advice that you are receiving on MH. It is clearly not working for you. You think your problem is HIV but what it really is is anxiety, and your attempts to solve the problem are not helping it and are probably making it worse. I implore you, PLEASE see a mental health professional for your anxiety.
Avatar m tn Antibiotics can cause diarrhea in and of themselves as a side effect. Antibiotics can also disrupt the normal intestinal flora and cause you to allow a bacteria called Clostridium difficile to take over. You need to get cultured for this. It s a stool (fecal) culture. See your doctor (not the nurse) and ask to have this done. If it is positive they will actually have to treat you with another bacteria to get rid of it plus you will need to take probiotics.
Avatar f tn No pain and nausea is hard one.. do you drink? That can cause major problems..liver..pancrease ...nausea just has so many possibilities sadly :( that's what i've learned.
Avatar n tn Your doctor can have a Gastric Empty Scan done to see how much time it takes for the food to empty from your daughters stomach. Delayed emptying can cause the early satiety and nausea. Try mashed banana's for potassium and Gatorade to help prevent dehydration. Keeping potassium levels up is very important. There are medications that can help motility of the stomach wich may help symptoms. Use caution before taking Propulsid if its prescribed (ask Dr. about recent warning).
Avatar f tn I would think the nausea is more related to the antibiotics rather than your pain meds, as you've been on the pain meds for a while and haven't had this problem with them before. However, when your body is fighting an infection or virus, it can affect how your body reacts to medications, so there is always the possiblity that at least part of the nausea IS related to the pain meds.
262527 tn?1285385259 And also if you are being treated with antibiotics, which doctor do you have - Neurologist, Lyme Doctor, General Practitioner? Also, is your treatment covered by your Insurance?
Avatar n tn More recently, there are some periods of nausea along with it. I have had blood tests done and nothing abnormal showed up. Just yesterday I had a CT-scan done of the neck and head areas. The results should be in within the next few days. I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this. Sometimes it'll all go away for a few days, and then come back again. I'm wondering if it is all stress-induced, especially since it is not constant.
683231 tn?1467326617 All people that fail do so by relapsing as other have mentioned. Why do some people fail this (Sovaldi/Olysio) treatment or any other Sovaldi based treatment? Well we all know treatment isn't 100% for all people. So who succeeds and who fails treatment is largely based on the "host factors" going into treatment. Meaning mainly genotype and stage of liver disease, particularly cirrhosis is a differentiating factor in success or failure.
Avatar f tn He used to have a ton of friends and is now down to 2. He used to play soccer and baseball and can no longer do those either. Do research on autonomic dysfunction or dysautonomia. It took us 3 years to get this diagnosis. Our GI doctor wouldn't even test my son for gastroparesis, he said it doesn't usually happen in kids, then sent us to a psychologist, he told us our son had anxiety. NOT!!
Avatar n tn Pressure changes extremely from laying to sitting, to standing (didn't before) Low blood pressure can cause headaches and dizzies, nausea. I don't know going back tomorrow... Going on almost 8 weeks now.. getting old. let me know what you find out.
Avatar n tn I had no illnesses that cause it, and the only med I had taken was all that Flagyl which cause PN. No hospital doc had told me this could be a side effect - just kept pumping it into me. I still can't walk (other than a little in my apt. where I can hold on to things). My car is still in parking lot as can't drive. Can't even get down extemely long hallways in wheelchair to get downstairs to lobby to get my mail or outside to dumpster.
Avatar f tn They kept saying the high doses of antibiotics and pain meds were the cause. The surgeon never spent more than 2min with her when he would visit. He finally approved to have another dr see her for the nausea. She has lost 19 lbs in less than 2 weeks. This dr has already done bloodwork. She said there is a problem FINALLY and realizes it is not the meds. She mentioned pancreatitis, gall bladder and the possibility of stomach not emptying properly. Has anyone had such problems after surgery?
Avatar m tn I'm a retired MD but not gastroenterologist. I've experienced a syndrome nearly identical to AmJoHi for most of my 65 years. I kept a log to see if I could link the episodes to any foods or activities. The closest correlate was stress, even a time or two occurring during surgery (I was a neurosurgeon), which was both really inconvenient and embarrassing. They tended to follow excessively-rich meals in which I clearly overate, so maybe this is a body's way of telling you not to overload it.
203342 tn?1328740807 I know there's so many things that can cause nausea and it can be tricky to figure out but I'm just wondering if it's worth seeing my gastroenterologist over or just deal with it. I've had bouts of nausea since my surgery in '07 but it's always been just in the morning and light and I could deal with it. Usually, it would disappear after breakfast. I figured it was par for the course since I had part of my small intestine (about 5 inches) removed and resected.
Avatar n tn (Sure I spelled that wrong) I do suffer from anxiety, occasional hot flashes, irritability, and occasional depression. I do get occasional migraines that are not associated with my period. Feel confusion at times. Vision gets blurred sometimes and off and on with insomnia. When it gets so sever that I have to go to the hospital the docs ask me if I am pregnant. I would tell them no so they diagnosed it as the flu. Hello, its not the flu!!! Every Doc says pregnant or flu!!! Its so aggrevating!!
Avatar n tn I am an 18 year old female and am suffering from chronic dizziness/lightheadedness, nausea but no vomiting, trouble focusing my eyes, headaches, and sporadic pains through my torso; mostly chest and stomach. These symptoms have been going on since the middle of April this year (2007) and I've lost about 15 pounds since it started. Some days it'll be okay and other days It'll feel like I'm dying. I've been in and out of the hospital since it started, and my doctor's office knows me by name.
Avatar f tn Why were you on Levaquin? do you have pneumonia, sinusitis, bronchitis? It should be taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. None of the symptoms you are typical reactions from Levaquin. You should call your doctor. Stopping antibiotics part way through a course is not a good idea unless your doctor tells you to stop. It can cause superbugs that are resistant to antibiotics or your infection can come back.Selective bug breeding LOL....
358304 tn?1409713092 Now, as to the cause of ulcers, the actual cause seems to be a bacteria called H pylori, or heliobacter. The cure is either to use antibiotics or you can try natural treatments such as mastic gum, DGL, and manukka honey. But because of my experience, I think stress can provide the weakened opportunity for H. pylori to move in and take over.
1353650 tn?1429466974 (lost 20) 5 '4'' I have had a long journey battling illness and I can say that candida has always been the cause. I was given many rounds of antibiotics for chronic bladder infections as a 5 year old. With in five years of this I became fatigued, and obese by the age of 10. From this point on my health was always a problem for my parents.
959034 tn?1253675076 The pharmacologic effects of theophyllines and beta-blockers are opposite. Nonselective and high doses of cardioselective beta-blockers may cause severe or fatal bronchospasm by opposing theophylline-induced bronchodilation. Ophthalmic beta-blockers undergo significant systemic absorption and may also interact. In addition, propranolol and other beta-blockers may reduce the CYP450 hepatic metabolism of theophylline, and serum theophylline levels may be increased.
Avatar m tn Any advice as to what we should do to encourage things along would be greatly appreciated. any ideas as to why this is happening would also be greatly received. Thank you.
Avatar n tn But did you have a period with mirena cause i dont and thats why your having the odor cause your period is gone.

Based on what AA has pulled this offseason.. I believe this.

Go ahead and read the thread again then, almost every Leaf fan says they don't want to trade him.

I'm not challenging whether Pittsburgh is 'fine' without Kulemin, but there is at least one 'top 6 fwd to Pittsburgh' thread per week. A lot of the fan base wants to improve on a top 6 winger or two. I tend to agree with them that and upgrade could be helpful, but I've also said in several threads that they don't need a star such as Iginla or Perry. Both would unquestionably be great in Pittsburgh, but Malkin and Crosby don't need stars, they need complementary top 6 wingers with hockey IQ and finish. Lee Stempniak is an example; solid 3 zone player with good speed, IQ and a heavy shot. I proposed a deal involving him for a 2nd round pick and it was pretty well received by both fan bases for the most part.

The entitlement comes from 'Leafs should trade one of their few good players to us because we want him, regardless of Toronto's organizational needs' ... The arrogance is 'you disagree with me in regards to value, yeah well, Leafs suck, no playoffs, dumb management etc. I cheer for better team that employes the two best players so my opinion is more valid then yours.

Most Pens fans that I've encountered on these boards, and at the Mellon (will see Consol for the first time in March, super excited) are a pretty good bunch. I suspect the small but outspoken minority are the ones who joined the ship after '05-'06 and will jump ship if/ when the Penguins are forced to rebuild after Malkin/Crosby/Letang etc are gone or retired. Those are the fans that my comment was directed towards, because nobody who saw the rough years could dare feel any entitlement; they're all pretty humble and happy they still have NHL hockey.

 St. Mary (12-7-2) will face South Hadley, a 9-2 winner over Taconic of Pittsfield in the first quarterfiinal
St. Mary was able to take advantage of a pair of miscues that enabled the Saints to vault to a 2-0 lead .

Designer Cynthia Rowley Shows Her Resort Line Curbside...

Amy Odell from The Cut caught up with Cynthia Rowley's 2011 Resort collection, which the designer drove around to magazine offices instead of putting on a sit-down show or hosting a presentation. Rowley explained, "Everyone's schedules are so busy and it's hard enough to go twice a year to shows. I just thought it would be easier to bring them out...bring the girls to the editors." Vogue editor Anne Vincent attested, "Cynthia really couldn't have gotten her resort collection any closer to our office today." Along with the editors, the Times Square passersby seemed to be enjoying the ensembles.

Signs of Spring in Paris: Asparagus & Daffodils, Fresh Market Produce & Sunny Picnics

Spring in Paris: Fresh flowers, seasonal fruits and vegetables, bike rides, and picnics in the sun

Spring is blossoming in Paris as sprigs of green sneak into our grey city, bringing us back to life after months spent under winter skies. As an opening act to the Lily of the Valley vendors in May, bunches of daffodils are now being hawked on street corners, in front of cafés and bistros, and in flower shops across the city. The cheerful flowers are the first sign of the transition towards spring for Parisians, who can’t help but bring a bunch home to brighten up their cozy apartments.

A bicycle provides the perfect tempo for exploring a city. You can get from point A to point B faster than you would walking, but it’s slow enough that you get to take in the scenery in a way that riding a bus or metro never allows.

Paris on Two Wheels: Our Tips for Navigating the City of Light by Bicycle

HiP Paris Blog, Biking in Paris, Anna BronesAnna Brones

You’re in Paris. The sun is out, a cool breeze is blowing, café terraces and park lawns are full of sunbathing Parisians. The city is waiting to be explored, and you got up early enough that the day seems endless. Today is the perfect day to ride a bicycle.

bikes paris 4Anna Brones

Riding a bike in Paris can in fact be glorious, but if you want to cycle in this city, get ready to do some work.

Montage 1Anna Brones

Despite all the romantic pictures you’ve seen of ladies in flowing skirts with flowers and baguettes in their quaint bike baskets, cycling in Paris isn’t always beautiful. It’s often fast, dirty and sometimes a bit harrowing. But it’s also rewarding. Because when the sunlight hits the buildings just right and you get into the flow of navigating a tight Parisian street on two wheels, life feels really good.

City of Love, Or City of Lonelyhearts? Every Relationship Has Two Sides

Making Magique

Paris is for lovers. Unless you’re single. Like I was for the nearly two years I lived there. It was always a jab to my heart, like a deliberate and personally directed taunt, to see couples canoodling in dark café corners, pressed intimately together along the quais of the Seine, or just shopping at an outdoor market on a Sunday afternoon. Oh lovers, how very nice for you.

Lost in Cheeseland

Then a year after I left Paris, I returned. With a man. And indeed it was a different experience. But as happy and, oui, sometimes smug, as I felt during that week of amour, I also realized that the old adage is true: the grass is always greener.

Every moment I basked in my City of Loooove romance was rudely followed by the memory of something I was missing from my solo days. It made me realize: no relationship is perfect. Continue Reading »

Au Revoir Paris, Bonjour NYC: What I’ll Miss and What I’ll Embrace

Jenny and David enjoying l’heure bleue in An Education

Once you’re familiar with the sweet life in Paris, it’s no easy thing to leave. After all, when every day is filled with arresting beauty, when all five senses get worked over like nowhere else in the world, when you’ve mastered the art of lingering for hours at the dinner table, the lunch table, on the river bank, beside the canal… well, where do you go from here?

Lucky for me, the answer is New York. And as loath as I am to leave some things behind (I’m talking to you, pain au chocolat), I’m equally excited to get back to certain creature comforts.

A stroll along the Seine and a vintage Tabac sign (pkabz, slimjim)

What I’ll Miss

More specifically, the smell of boulangeries; of butter getting baked into millions of flaky croissant layers in the morning and of baguettes being pulled fresh from the oven each night. Getting smacked in the face with those delicious aromas is almost better than eating the warm, yeasty treats. Almost.

It’s like being part of a symphony, riding around Paris on a Velib. You weave around delivery trucks, buzz past monuments, zip across bridges, and coast beneath dancing trees; your heart and legs pumping, spirits soaring, and then, the finale: you park outside Ladurée on the Champs-Elysées and reward yourself with un petit gateau.

L’Heure Bleue

What is it about this “hour” in Paris? Walking in the quiet side streets or staring out the window in the evening is nothing short of magic. It just doesn’t exist as beautifully, or linger as teasingly, anywhere else in the world.

New York or Paris: Une Bonne Question

Amy Thomas, the sweets queen behind the God I Love Paris blog and one of our very favorite contributors, can’t seem to decide whether she prefers Paris or New York. Hard life? But really, we can’t blame her… because  we can’t choose either. What do you think? We’d love to hear from you in the comments below!

New York or Paris? (Kat . . .)

Quick: do you prefer hopping in a taxi or on a Velib? Would you rather wear Manolos or Repettos? Oversized sunglasses, or an oversized scarf?

These are difficult questions. Ones that I’ve personally been trying to answer for a year and a half as I’ve also tried cracking the bigger dilemma: Which is the better city in which to live? I know, cue the teeny-tiny pity violins. Whenever I lament feeling torn between New York and Paris, I get the “poor you” rolling of the eyes. But truly, it’s not easy choosing between the two best cities in the world. Let’s see you do it.

Beauty or Energy?

Notre Dame in Paris or Snow in Manhattan? (Karigee)

Paris is dazzling. All you need to do is watch a Godard film or see a Doisneau poster to know that. But to actually walk the streets—with the Plane trees and cobblestones; the rose-tinted street lamps, green bookstalls and golden limestone facades—well, the French know a little something about seduction, don’t they.

But in New York, you’re swept away by everything and everyone around you: pedestrians, taxis, buses, street vendors, blinking neon signs, little dogs, big dogs, and, oh the freaks everywhere! To walk the streets of New York is to know what it means to feel alive. Continue Reading »

Paris by Vélib’

Paris by VélibPhoto Erica Berman

The nice thing about Paris is that it’s small for such a major city; a lot of things you might want to see and do are within walking distance of each other.
