The Waiting
By DAVID RAKOFF
I am nothing if not compliant. I held still as I was shuttled back and forth through the wondrous high-tech doughnut, inhaling and holding my breath when instructed. Less than three minutes later, I hopped off the narrow table and put my sweater back on.
"Have a fantastic day," the technician said as I left.
"Fantastic"? Fantastic days are what you wish upon those who have so few sunrises left, those whose lungs are so lesion-spangled with new cancer that they should be embracing as much life as they can. Time's a-wasting, go out and have yourself a fantastic day!
Fantastic days are for goners. Was I fated to take some final vacation to see Venice for the first and last time? Or should I corral some long-cherished idol (I'm talkin' to you, Meryl Streep) into posing for a photograph with me, both of us giving a thumbs up to the camera before she beats a hasty retreat back to the Land of the Living? That kind of fantastic day?
In truth, after close to three years into my current illness — a rather tenacious sarcoma around the area of my left collarbone — I try not to invest too much importance in the casual words of others, mostly to let them off the hook. With the exception of the wildly unprofessional X-ray technician in 1988 who, spying my radiation-strafed lungs (a result of the primitive treatment for my first bout of cancer, and the likely cause of my present sarcoma), asked how long I'd had AIDS, caregivers seem trained to keep their language and voices neutral, for just this reason: it's an unfair burden on them when so many of us who are sick are looking for signs or unstated reasons to hope during the waiting.
And there will always be waiting. It begins immediately.

This dip was good, but I agree with adding more ingredients. Marinated artichokes would be better.
This time I added bleu cheese on top for a kick, next time
will add jalepenos and/or horseradish. -

I prepared this for a baby shower, and while it was super easy to make, I found it to be a very average tasting dip (nothing special at all). Not bad, but not a recipe that I would make again.
lurl7 Dec, 2010
When I make this dip, which I serve cold, I use the marinated artichokes...large jar and 1/2 cup of mayo, 1 cup of full fat yogurt,
1 cup of sour cream a bit of dried dill, a tablespoon of horseradish,
8 oz. of shredded Parmesan cheese. Let is sit 24 hours and it is not warmed up but could be if you wish to do it. -

Super Bowl XLVII
Ravens vs. 49ers: A Super Bowl for the Ages
The Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl proving yet again that regular season records mean little in predicting the playoffs. By translating a 10-6 record in to a 4-0 playoff run, the Ravens have made history by becoming the first team in history to win a Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers.
When NFC West football coaches, players, and fans look back on this season, the biggest lesson might be, "Make sure to show up to play in the first half of playoff games." While both the Seahawks and 49ers looked as talented as any team in football this year, their habit of digging themselves in to a hole and relying on perfect execution late in games backfired. Instead of the NFC West holding a Lombardi Trophy, the 49ers finish the season more closely resembling the team that couldn't beat the Rams than the team that was predicted by many to win it all.
In my last article I predicted that the Ravens would pass to set up the run. As it would turn out, the Ravens rushing attack was never a factor at all. Luckily for them, they scored their three offensive touchdowns on pass plays. They ended the game with only 93 rushing yards, and averaged a measly 2.7 yards per carry. On a normal day, that would not be enough to move the chains.
However, especially for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco, this was not a normal day. His three first half touchdowns were enough to bury the 49ers in a deep hole. They were also enough to set a new NFL record with 11 touchdown passes in a single post season without an interception.
Flacco's first pass was thrown to the middle of the end zone to Anquan Boldin who found a pocket between two defenders. The next touchdown was a 1-yard pass to Dennis Pitta who calmly spiked the ball. The body language of the Ravens squad exuded confidence. The third touchdown made people stop and look. It was a 56-yard completion to Jacoby Jones, who caught the ball in the air, fell down, and got up in time to elude San Francisco defenders on his way to the end zone.
With the possession of the ball to start the second half, the Ravens were in good position with a 21-6 lead at halftime. By the time Jacoby Jones returned the opening kickoff 108 yards for a touchdown, things were looking great.
It looked like a good old fashioned Super Bowl blowout, until, of all things, the power went out in the Super Dome. While the power outage delayed the game for 34 minutes, it is impossible to judge what effect it had on the two teams. Some say that the 49ers benefited by being allowed to regroup and kill Baltimore's momentum.
It could be just as easily presumed that Baltimore benefited from the blackout, by being allowed to regain some energy that allowed them to withstand the onslaught that was soon to come. In the end, the real beneficiary of the power out was probably the bar owners across the world who kept their patrons drinking for an extra half hour. At the end of the unexpected intermission, the game really started to get competitive, and turned in to what many called an instant classic.
Colin Kaepernick, who was flustered and ineffective early, suddenly was able to connect with Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis. Both receivers topped one hundred yards, and Crabtree hauled in a touchdown. The other two 49er touchdowns were run in by Frank Gore who ran for a game best 110 yards, and Kaepernick who celebrated his touchdown run with a highly predictable kiss of his tattoo.
While the touchdown brought the 49ers to within a field goal of the Ravens, perhaps Kaepernick's celebration was a bit premature if not entirely unnecessary. The Ravens would go on to build their lead to 5 on a Justin Tucker field goal giving the 49ers time to take the lead.
However, Baltimore's defense held tight on a four-down goal line stand that included one controversial non-call in the end zone on a ball thrown to Michael Crabtree. While Jimmy Smith clearly had a handful of jersey, Crabtree was also engaged in contact. Being that it's a Super Bowl, I'm a big believer in letting the players play, and saving the flags for obvious penalties, like the illegal formation that stalled a promising opening drive by San Francisco.
After turning the ball over on downs, San Francisco's defense was able to hold the Ravens to a three and out. The Ravens, who had faked a field goal earlier in the game, pulled another unorthodox special teams move. With twelve seconds left, the punter, Sam Koch, scrambled around in the end zone for eight seconds before running out of bounds giving the 49ers a safety and two points.
The score tightened to 3 points, but with four seconds left on the clock, a field goal was not a possibility. Instead of punting from the end zone with 12 seconds left, the Ravens were able to kick off with four seconds left. There were no repeats of the music city miracle as Baltimore's kickoff team found the ball quickly, and made the winning tackle as time expired.
It was a fitting end to an exciting season of NFL football. The Ravens have some questions surrounding an aging defense, and a free agent quarterback, but have been consistently competitive over the years. The 49ers also look like they're built to compete for years to come.
The Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Falcons, New England Patriots, and Denver Broncos all exited the playoffs with unfulfilled expectations. Expect them to be in the thick of the hunt next season. But, until then, The Baltimore Ravens deserve to hold their well-earned title of NFL Champions.

Super Bowl XLVII: A Tough Call
The match up for Super Bowl XLVII is incredibly difficult to call. Both teams have overcome adversity, and both teams have weaknesses. In fact, I don't totally trust either quarterback, or defense. Baltimore shut out the New England Patriots in the second half of the AFC Championship game, but San Francisco runs a totally different offense. San Francisco plays physical, but their defense almost let the Atlanta Falcons run away with the game early on in the NFC Championship game.
As for the quarterbacks, Joe Flacco has won playoff games in each of his seasons in the league, but he has also lost playoff games in each of those seasons. Colin Kaepernick has great skills, but he was shut down by the Seattle Seahawks in a prime time match up earlier in the season.
Both teams also have questions on special teams. San Francisco's place kicker, David Akers, has missed several field goal attempts. The Baltimore Ravens, on the other hand, have a better kicker in Justin Tucker, but have been known to blow coverages on kick offs and punts.
In the passing game, The Ravens have a slight edge with their deep threat of Flacco to Torrey Smith. Anquan Boldin, and Dennis Pitta are solid, but The 49ers have the better overall receiving corps with Michael Crabtree, Randy Moss, and Vernon Davis.
Both teams are solid in the run game. Baltimore's Ray Rice is the top rusher in the playoffs this season with 247 yards. However, Frank Gore is number three with 230 yards in one less game. Right behind him is San Francisco quarterback Colin Kapernick has put up a jaw-dropping 202 yards rushing in his first NFL postseason. 183 of those yards came in one game against the Green Bay Packers.
Historically, both teams boast impressive records. San Fransisco is undefeated in five trips to the Super Bowl, and Baltimore has won one Super Bowl, and holds the best post season record of any team in history at .650. Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco also has the most wins away from home of any quarterback in history at six.
San Francisco's last Super Bowl victory was in 1988. Baltimore's was in 2000. Because the 49ers history is much older than the Ravens', I don't see that playing any part in predicting this game. While they still have the mystique of being the 49ers, they are only three years removed from being one of the most underachieving teams in football. At the same time, the Ravens have been in the thick of the hunt for the better part of the past fourteen seasons.
In the previous round, both teams beat pass-first teams to get to the game, so it's hard to tell how either will react to each other's run-first attacks. But, it might be fair to say that the game will go to which ever team manages to pull off the first big pass plays, and if it comes down to that, my money is on Joe Flacco.
Being that both teams dodged bullets to get to the super bowl. The Ravens had a miraculous comeback against the Broncos, and the 49ers mounted an impressive come back against the Falcons. That should indicate that this game will be competitive until the end, even if one team gets off to a quick start.
On the line, the edge should go to San Francisco's defense vs. Baltimore's offense. Running the ball will be a challenge. So, I expect Baltimore to pass early to set up the run. Don't be surprised if they take a shot at the endzone on first or second down of their first drive if they are not trailing.
San Francisco, on the other hand, has to hope that their read option offense has enough spark to confuse a veteran Ravens defense led by Ray Lewis who may have lost a step in terms of speed, but still reads an offense as well as anybody in history. I expect the Ravens to minimize Kaepernick's rushing attack forcing Frank Gore to provide the bulk of the ground yards. Meanwhile, Kaepernick will have to rely on his arm, the major factor that set him apart from his teammate Alex Smith. Expect Gore to have a big game, and expect Kaepernick to air it out.
In the end, I believe that the Ravens' experience, will outmatch the youth of the 49ers. The Ravens have spent years deliberatley improving their offense. The plan was to balance out their great defense to have a shot to win a super bowl. Now that they have made it back to the dance, I expect them to show up with their laces tied tight, and ready to rumble.

Follow Kenny from the levees of New Orleans to the whirling chaos that is the Pagan festival circuit and beyond. Musings, rants, and just plain Pagan talk.
Oestara and Pace-Egging
Oestara, the spring equinox, is fast approaching, and for those who practice the old traditions, it's time to paint eggs!
Painted eggs? you ask. Isn't that what our Christian neighbors do for Easter? Well sure. Where do you think they got it?
The custom of painting eggs is an ancient Pagan tradition that occurrs throughout Europe. Russia and Ukraine are famous for their traditions of painted eggs. Eastern Europe most likely had a tradition like that of England (which we'll speak of in a moment, have some patience). Here are some typically elaborate Ukrainian eggs:
In England, the tradition of gathering painted eggs is called Pace-egging, and involves a song, sung by young men as they march through the town on the equinox gathering eggs from each house. Here is one example of the traditional song:
When the eggs are gathered up, and after a good deal of drinking ale, the lads chuck the painted eggs into a river or stream. The colored eggs will float to the Underworld, where they will alert the spirits of crops killed in last year's harvest that it is time to rise again, and inhabit this year's grain.
In some villages an entire mummer's play is enacted each spring, representing a "summer king" killing a "winter king" for the hand of a "princess." We Pagans know that this is the triumph of the Robin over the Wren (see my book The Flowering Rod for a whole lot of stuff on this tradition). While these plays are rustic and often badly acted, they are a Pagan tradition that dates back to Saxon times, well before the Christian era. Here is the mummer's play from the village of Midgley, performed by teens:
And here's another Pace Egging mummer's troop, adults this time, from Stourvale:
Note in both plays the charming rhymes and characterizations; while these actors are modern Christians, they are well aware that they are part of a tradition that dates back centuries, and contains a deep underlying magic. Ask any Mummer or Morris dancer and they'll tell you the same!
One does not wish a "Happy Oestara," for the same reason one does not wish a Happy Beltain or a Happy Yule; one says Merry Oestara, Merry Beltain, or Merry Yule. The word Merry is seen often in pagan traditions; Robin Hood's hoodlums were Merry Men, and to this day one "makes merry" at Beltain and Yule/Christmas. The term Merry probably derives from the Goddess Mari: Morris Dancing was probably once Mari's Dance, and Robin Hood's men probably held the tradition of worshiping Herne and Mari, worship forbidden by the Norman kings of their day. So May is Mari's month (the Merry month), and Oestara is a merry day.
Merry Oestara!!

Hansen has had his fun ...time to bring in the SuperXV champions, the MightyChiefs to show our one eyed Cantab supporter Hansen how it 's done...heres hoping he's learned his lesson..2013 will tell..
Are any of the Chiefs Kiwi's?
...plenty...not the question i'd expect from a rugby legend though Saffex but then again Bean Brain and not so clevermike are also "rugby legends' ROTFLMAO
Permit me to tell you that I believe your Mighty Chiefs superiority will vanish into thin air in Super 15 next year and although they may - and remeber I say MAY - win the New Zealand Conference Trophy - they are going to become unstuck when they have to play the Sharks and Storrmers this year away from home and the rejuvenated Sharls in Hamilton.
...same old shyte you've been spouting all this year not so clevermike complete with yr usual abomination of the english language ....yawwwn...
You're so right Brycy. The Mighty Chiefs will restore order.
Not sure they'll ever play teams called the "Syotmers" or the "Sharls" though!
I fancy their chances against the Knigs and Buslls next year!!
Sorry about all the typing errors - was half asleep when I responded to your hollow bragging. Like the All Blacks yesterday the Chiefs have serious problems up front and a poor lock combination as well. So enjoy the trophey for the year - because it will be gone next year..

Secondhand Smoke Levels High in Airports That Aren't Smoke Free
Secondhand smoke levels outside designated smoking areas in airports are five times higher than levels in airports that are smoke free, according to a new government report. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says these high levels endanger the health of travelers and airport employees.
The findings come from a study of airports in Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, Denver and Salt Lake City, HealthDay reports. About 15 percent of all U.S. air travel took place at these five airports last year.
CDC researchers found air pollution levels inside designated smoking areas were 23 times higher, compared with levels in smoke-free airports. Designated smoking areas in airports can include ventilated smoking rooms, as well as restaurants and bars.
The study results "further confirm that ventilated smoking rooms and designated smoking areas are not effective," Dr. Tim McAfee, Director of CDC's Office on Smoking and Health, said in a news release. "Prohibiting smoking in all indoor areas is the only effective way to fully eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke."
Report co-author Brian King noted, "Research shows that separating smokers from nonsmokers, cleaning the air and ventilating buildings cannot fully eliminate secondhand smoke exposure. People who spend time in, pass by, clean or work near these rooms are at risk of exposure to secondhand smoke."

Just 29 days until pitchers and catchers report. 29 days!
What happened last year?
Brennan Boesch entered the season backed by a boatload of hype. He was on so many fantasy baseball "sleeper" lists he could hardly be classified as a sleeper any more. For good reason, too. Slated to hit behind Austin Jackson and before Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder, he'd been handed the keys for success. Boesch had shown he could string together large swaths to success at the plate from both a power and average standpoint. It was time to take the next step.
Well, there is theory, and there is fact.
In fact, Boesch's season was a huge disappointment. He started slow, teased seldom, then reverting to disappointing form. That this was a player who had to rely on his offense to be useful because his defense was sub-par only made matters worse.
By the end of the season, he'd been passed by on the depth chart and his future in Detroit was uncertain.
Boesch' s batting average, on-base percentage and slugging average were all career worsts in 2012. Despite having more at-bats than at any point in his MLB career, he also had a career-low for HR. He did have one career-high anyway: strikeouts.
All in all, 2012 was a forgettable year for Boesch. Unfortunately for him, we're not given to lapses in memory around here.
What needs to happen in 2013?
Boesch needs to get back to being Boesch. Whatever that means. His lack of success must have played a lot of mind games or something, because his numbers are just so strange.
This used to be a batter who'd take a few walks. In his rookie campaign he walked in 7.8 percent of his plate appearances. Last year, just 5.2 percent. His line drive percentage was up but his ground ball percentage was up, too. And you know Boesch isn't going to outrun a lot of those.
Mainly, he's going to have to be a good pinch hitter and a guy with some consistent power. That's the role tasked for him: Come off the bench and hit it far. There aren't a lot of guys like that on the Tigers' bench right now. If he can succeed there, he'll be in a pretty safe position.
2012 stats / 2013 projection
2012 | 132 | .240 | .286 | .372 | 12 | 54 | 6 | 26 | 104 |
2013 | 121 | .266 | .320 | .430 | 13 | 53 | 5 | 27 | 78 |
*Stats and projections via Fangraphs.com
The part where I am supposed to predict something
Boesch is just so hard to project. His periods of success make you think he's capable of repeating that ability. His periods of failure seem to go on forever -- or at least for seemingly the entire 2012 season. It's hard to see things changing dramatically there.
The rope is likely shorter for him, but if he fails maybe he can recapture his past performances a bit with a stay in Triple-A.
The future is knocking on the door. Boesch had better make sure he's the one to answer it or he'll quickly be left behind.
I predict we haven't seen the last of Brennan Boesch -- possibly to our chagrin.

Type Of STD Tests and Results? Any Medications To Control Your STD?
your hsv2 testing is accurate. you don't have hsv2.
yes the testing you had is accurate.
really no way to know for sure easily if you have hsv1. you can try getting a herpes WB to see if that picks up on it better but probably not worth the $150 to be honest.
has your partner been tested?
Thank you for replying. So the WB test will confirm my herpes? Can you explain the igg's and igm's. Mine have gone down and up. Do they go low when one is not having an outbreak? Should I wait to be test when I am having an outbreak? SO, is it possible I could have Behcet's?
I swab-tested positive for genital herpes in mid-November. It wasn't typed at the time.
After reading Terri's book, I had IGM & IGG tests done. These are the results, can you help me decipher please?
HSV 1 Glycoprotein G AB IGG = 0.17
HSV Type 2 AB-IGG = 0.21
I assume the 10.10 number confirms I have HSV, correct? But the others don't tell me whether it's Type 1 or 2? So confused and now even more worried, thank you so much for your help!
Maybe another can weigh in on the explanation as well.
if you post your actual test results, terri or I can better help you - e.g. hsv1 igg 3.2 and hsv2 igg 3.9 or whatever they are.

Letter from France: Why I love Paris in the autumn.
As a concept, "spring forward, fall back" fits Paris to a tee.
The global collective consciousness may well hold the City of Light to be paradise in springtime -- spring rites and spring rain, the spring in the step of forward-looking dreamers who dream of April in Paris, and pipe that old tune. But what about the fall, alias autumn? If you ask me, the unsung season is an equally fine time of year to make Paris your own -- often without the crowds or peak rates.
Forget the foursome of three-syllable months with ponderous names: "September," "October," "November" and "December." Subtract the prosaic "fall" from the notation. Then try singing "Au-tumn in Paaa-ris." It's every bit as catchy as "A-pril." As with April, the "thrill" of autumn sometimes rhymes with "chill," though nowadays climate change can provide T-shirt weather right up to mid-November.
Weather -- la météo -- is the merest part of Paris' fall-back season. For the French, fall stands for the end of enforced rural isolation with in-laws and enfants terribles, the end of sunburns and heat stroke -- climate change again -- and a return to the stimulating animation of this self-consciously enlightened metropolis, la Ville Lumière.
Fall isn't l'automne in Paris anyway, it's la rentrée -- the re-entry. There's the "political re-entry," the "scholastic re-entry," the "cultural re-entry," and others still -- re-entries for food, wine, fashion and industrial action. Falling back into place in autumnal Paris is as natural as gravity, the metaphorical space-capsule of life drifting leaf-like back to Earth, or plummeting like a chestnut, the correlative objective of la rentrée.
Fittingly for a city that's a work of art in continuous evolution, come October the streets, sidewalks, parks and sweeping riverside esplanades of Paris exude Impressionist moodiness and stage-set atmosphere. Fog puffs up, dressing the Eiffel Tower in frilly underpants. Crispy golden leaves spin down from the nearly 100,000 trees on the city's thoroughfares.
From an aesthetic standpoint, Paris becomes more likeable, more approachable, more intelligible in fall. As the sycamores and lindens denude themselves, a thousand architectural details are revealed -- wreaths and garlands, composite capitals, or elaborate ironwork on balconies and rooftop pergolas. The long perspectives and obsessive symmetry suddenly make sense, whether or not you endorse the cannon-shot boulevards Baron Haussmann built over a century ago.
On them and every other usable surface, café and restaurant terraces spill chairs into the path of pedestrians. Terraces stay open despite the chill. Using them the way spiders use webs, the organizers of gastronomic or Bacchic festivals capture passersby. Half a dozen urban vintners including Jacques Melac in the 11th arrondissement pluck their grape bunches and make a show of it on TV. The lonely vineyard atop Montmartre is shorn of its grapes. Ditto the one at Bercy, in the gorgeous "Jardin de la Mémoire" on the Seine.
Other guzzlers celebrate the theoretical quaffability of that frothy purple beverage, Beaujolais Nouveau, but the less said about such activities the better. In the privacy of their homes, the owners of ready-at-last vintage wines raise bottlings from cellars into dining rooms with a sigh of satisfaction: who can drink a Château Margaux or Romanée Conti in July or August?
Making the mouth water wherever you wander is the woodsy scent of roasting chestnuts, the kind not intended for horses. It wafts up from impromptu, unlicensed stands on many a street corner, stands operated by legions of invisible aliens, many of them the kind the current French rightwing government would like to deport en masse.
Unsurprisingly fall is the best season bar none for food in Paris. From the mom-and-pop shops that have not yet been killed off by big business, out come the mounds of steaming sauerkraut, the sausages and hams, the pâtés, terrines and foie gras, duck confit and other fatty delicacies. They feature heavily at foires aux gras -- "fat fairs" -- and at self-styled "terroir" and "regional" markets.
Like the illegal chestnut sellers, legal market stands arise overnight to sell mushrooms such as the proverbial cèpes or champignons de Paris. There's a lively fall food fair on the Seine facing Notre-Dame, and another on Pont Louis Philippe, the bridge linking the Right Bank to the Ile-Saint-Louis. Place Saint-Sulpice has one, too (and a Christmas market). Even the city's weekly or twice-weekly street or farmer's markets, often drab in other seasons, explode in fall with a kaleidoscopic harvest bounty, including pheasants in full plumage.
The royal treatment is lavished on the citizenry in October at the Chateau de Versailles: that's the only time of year when the "King's Kitchen Garden" sells its splendid, Louis XIV heirloom produce -- 150 varieties of pear and 200 of apple -- to the masses.
For gastronomes there's one class of food that alone would justify an autumn trip to Paris: fromage. Odoriferous cheese-mongers' grottoes display only-in-fall delights. My favorite is luscious, unctuous, oozing, eat-with-a-spoon Vacherin (aka Mont d'Or). But the parade of artery-plugging delicacies goes on. Those shoulder-to-shoulder chocolate shops of the chic Saint Germain district or the trendy Marais may sit empty in hot weather but bustle when temperatures drop. Bakeries beckon, three per city block, their steamed-up windows stacked with savory tarts and dazzling, caloric desserts, unnecessary yet essential to the pursuit of Parisian happiness.
Strange to tell, as the obesity pandemic rages elsewhere, most Paris natives remain slim. The French paradox, say some. Perhaps. Maybe it's because people still eat fresh food here and attempt to enjoy themselves. They also do a lot of walking, talking and gesticulating in that inimitable, agitated, Parisian way.
Fall entertainment takes many forms. The mainstream, official, subsidized extravaganza of dance, theater and suchlike is le Festival d'Automne, while photography is honored this November by Paris Photo.
More excitingly, this is when denizens discover the Emperor's new clothes and his new omelette too: the insanely complicated, unwearable creations of the haute-couture crowd, and the ludicrously uneatable food-art conjured by the Michelin multiple-star brigade. Fall fashion shows colonize whole quarters with tents and runways. There the initiated swoon over five-digit pheasant plumage, decolté designer rags, tears in fabric and tears on cheeks, pins, scars, exposed flesh, elevator pumps and mind-boggling corsets.
Meanwhile the celeb chefs' serve up not vulgar food but "emotions," thrilling, shocking and awing the susceptible leisure classes.
From sidewalk stands and old-fashioned cook-shops to the haute runways and $300-a-plate temples of gastronomy, the eating and fashion orgy can seem out of step with our troubled times. The recession? The ten-percent unemployment rate? Wars, terrorism, global warming and poverty? Yes, but not, apparently, in Paris "Intra-muros" -- within the city walls now girded by a beltway. Here everything stays comfortingly the same thanks to that age-old edict, wealth.
Happily the hedonistic orgies do not unduly affect the lives of most Parisians or visitors. The noisy, up-all-night summer frenzy is finished by October, and a comforting, off-season quiet steals back on the brisk evening breeze. Because clocks fall back a vital hour, it's easy to get out early and claim your favorite café table, the one with the perfect view from the Café de la Mairie, for instance, of homely Saint-Sulpice swaddled in scaffolding. The trio of joints on the downstream tip of Ile-Saint-Louis afford sidelong glimpses of Notre-Dame's buttressed back. If you don't mind dropping $10 for a café-crème and a croissant, the soaring belltower of Saint-Germain-des-Près is what you get at Les Deux Magots. But only if you can see, think and hear over the cellphones, BlackBerrys, iPads and other wireless destroyers of peace common at posh places.
That's why I prefer to perch at unknown cafés and saunter in unglamorous neighborhoods. Here you soon discover the real Paris. Despite the re-entry's animation, fall is the unrushed season, a time of inky newspapers on wooden sticks, of thick, well-thumbed novels, of deep yawns and slow trawls, of scattered sun and sodden tennis balls kicked for yapping lapdogs wearing gem-studded collars. The yawns are often caused by the well-thumbed novels, short-listed for the Goncourt and other literary prizes handed out in autumn.
Other urbane seasonal sports include avoiding the joggers, sprinters and speed-walkers who reappear in their thousands and devise novel ways to bump into, trip up, splatter and otherwise terrorize visitors and anyone who strolls at a normal pace. A different menace comes from Paris' grizzled boule-bores. Refreshed by their summer break, they begin tossing their polished steel balls that hop, skip and jump under your feet on the sycamore-lined alleys of a dozen parks, notably the Luxembourg Gardens.
In fall, this most sublime of Paris parks drips with impossibly colorful, impossibly long, trailing chrysanthemums. Peer close up and you'll see that the mums are trained along wire frames, the way pears are espaliered. They're a merger of bonsai and topiary, unique, as far as I know, to Paris. Like the horse chestnuts, they signal the arrival of fall. They also highlight two hallowed days: All Saint's Day, November 1, and All Soul's Day, the 2nd. For the French, mums are memory flowers. Despite the much-trumpeted secularism of the République, the back-to-back duo of Catholic holidays draws countless Parisians into flower shops to buy chrysanthemums, or to parks and cemeteries to admire them.
Beyond the Luxembourg Gardens, the most astonishing displays of mums and other memory flowers are at Père-Lachaise cemetery, the repository of the nation's Great and Good. At each turn in its ten miles of twisting, cobbled roads or looping dirt lanes you'll find chrysanthemums marking family tombs, all 70,000 of them.
Many Père-Lachaise regulars object to a recent fad, imported like so many fine things from the "Anglo-Saxon" world: Halloween. It still startles me to see French children dressed with sartorial perfection as devils, princesses or pirates soliciting door to door. Paris apartment buildings are bank vaults, so kids attend lavish private Halloween parties instead, or cavort in parks and cemeteries, where they're viewed with gimlet Gallic eyes.
Certainly, strikes and political snafus happen in all seasons. But French unions look forward with glee to la rentrée. Each fall brings its blend of industrial and social action. This year, the focus is pension reform: should the minimum retirement age stay 60, or rise to 62? The number of years worked, and the nature of the job, are supposedly factored in. So too is the death rate-steady at 100 percent. But with everyone here seemingly reaching 100, despite or possibly because of the foie gras and chocolate, the numbers no longer add up.
So elusive are statistics that when the nationwide late-September strike against President Nicolas Sarkozy's reforms was held, the organizers counted 3 million participants, the authorities a mere million. What other country can still mobilize that many marchers -- nearly all of them peaceful, orderly and well educated?
It's uplifting to tap into the Parisians' grim cheerfulness. Most are determined to keep social democracy alive, and many want to turf out the bonus-loving free-marketeers who denounce it as "the welfare state." No wonder autumn marches become fêtes featuring wine and song -- tea is rarely served at these left-leaning parties. Visitors and residents who don't have trains or planes to catch sometimes find short strikes instructive, even enjoyable. For one thing, solidarity fills the air, and everyone walks or rides bikes, proof Paris thrives when public services shut down.
Feisty and opinionated, many Parisians look forward to la rentrée for another reason: colorful controversies and succulent scandals ripen like Vacherin in autumn. The 2010 season features a rerun starring billionaire Liliane Bettencourt, France's richest woman, heiress to the l'Oreal cosmetics fortune, and Minister of Labor Eric Woerth, plus President Sarkozy himself, and a celebrity cast of glam photographer-artistes, bevies of society doctors, CPAs, lawyers and conservative party fundraiser-politicos.
Less consequential but even juicier to the culture-vulture set is the kerfuffle involving the mega Claude Monet exhibition at the Grand Palais. A magnificent retrospective with 170 artworks from 70 museums, it has everything -- almost everything -- to send Impressionism lovers to Seventh Heaven (the show runs until January 24, 2011). The "almost everything" is the missing pièce de résistance. It's what keeps Paris chuckling, clucking, wrangling and lining up, not just at the Grand Palais, but also at the Musée Marmottan. Why?
Because Monet's masterpiece, the one that gave Impressionism its name, "Impression, soleil levant," isn't in the Grand Palais show. It's at the Marmottan, the centerpiece of a rival exhibition, "Claude Monet: son musée" (October 7, 2010-February 20, 2011). The Marmottan's director has reportedly placed animosity above the public interest by refusing to lend the painting and then trying to steal the limelight. Where else could a dispute between museum directors grip a nation? Duels used to be fought for less. Now rivals lambast each other with sound bites. That's civilization.
But follow the money for the real story: "Monet" sounds like "monnaie" -- meaning coin, cash, money. The retrospective is expected to draw 700,000 visitors. Anyone wanting to see Monet's misty vision of dawn breaking over Le Havre will have to pay twice for the privilege.
Monet famously captured spring in his paintings, but what better way to wind up a fall trawl than to segue from the Grand Palais to the Marmottan to a third helping of the master -- his Waterlilies -- at L'Orangerie? This lovely mini-museum is in the Tuileries, the city's second-most sublime park. Like the Luxembourg across the Seine, the Tuileries distills the essence of Paris. The requisite horse chestnuts pelt visitors, and ice cream, pastries and gourmet fare are dispensed from outdoor cafés. The park's seemingly endless perspective-physical and historical-runs from the former seat of royal power at the Louvre, past Monet at L'Orangerie, along the Grand Palais, all the way up the chestnut-lined Champs-Elysées to that crowning symbol of la République, the Arc de Triomphe, where the flame of French nationhood burns eternal, whether in April or autumn.

30sep10 - David Downie has done it again, bringing to life those wonderful minutiae of life in Paris and stringing it together in an elegant and humorous narrative that is both evocative and compelling. All those reasons why we are heading back to Paris this autumn. Well done, David.
Maggie Littlefield Oct 1st 2010 8:43AM
David Downie does it again! Whichever place this fellow writes about gets put right at the top of my list. Paris in autumn is not to be believed. I've been there several times then but never knew about the "King's Kitchen Garden." Thanks David, for giving me and my husband yet another reason to get back to Paris.
russ schleipman Oct 8th 2010 9:30AM
again, you have me transported. I always have Paris in the back of my mind as the most wonderful/compelling/beautiful city, but you bring it to the forefront in a very skillful manner. You have made it so tangible. She is like an old love, and I ache to be there.
Ted Liberti Oct 13th 2010 2:06PM
If you want to really know Paris' soul, to learn its: rhythms, people, moods, history, sensations, you will be well rewarded by reading David's divine description of la rentrée which offers you an inside portrait to Parisian life, treasures, rituals and surprises. His beautiful prose not only informs but shows you why fall in Paris is the real Paris of well-rested bottles, culinary bounties and French life uncorked. Another must-read Parisian chapter that pairs so well with his Paris: Paris: Journey into the City of Light book and his thriller Paris City of Night.

Blog-Tied: How a Hunger for Clicks Drives New York's Brutally Fickle Food Scene
Remember Locanda Verde? It's still downtown, it still has delicious, affordable food, but it might as well be Sardi's for the amount of coverage it gets. The Dutch displaced it, and now Lafayette will displace The Dutch. They all have the same universally respected chef, Andrew Carmellini, and are owned by an experienced and well–funded restaurant group, so they will be fine.
But go visit some of the hot restaurants of 2009, like Matsugen and Mia Dona and Adour and Allen & Delancey and RUB and The Tasting Room and Centro Vinoteca and Irving Mill. Or rather don't, because they're all out of business, and got that way fast as a result of a brutal food-media climate dominated by online outlets. For the sake of convenience, I will call them "blogs," but they're really news-driven niche sites for foodists, which is to say, almost everybody these days. Read More

FSA investigates annuity mess
The FSA is going to investigate the annuity market. Hopefully this means that new retirees will get a better income in their old age.
We've written many times about how annuity rates have slumped in recent years. Rates have halved over the last 15 years.
So I was pleased to see that the Financial Services Authority (FSA) is launching a review of the annuity market. The first part of the review is going to look at pricing. In particular, it will look to see how many purchasers are buying annuities that pay a poor income compared to the market leaders.
If the results of the review suggest that there is 'consumer detriment' in the market – in other words, too many consumers are getting a poor deal – the FSA will investigate whether some firms are engaging in dodgy practices that restrict shopping around by consumers.
In particular, the FSA will focus on firms that sell a lot of annuities but pay out incomes that are below the market average.
I really hope that the review leads to a situation where all new retirees shop around when they buy an annuity and don't just accept the first deal that they are offered.
Shopping around can increase the size of your annuity by as much as 15%. Just look at this table:
Difference in annual annuity income between most competitive and least competitive providers
Most competitive annuity provider |
Least competitive annuity provider |
Annual income difference |
Level without guarantee age 60 |
£2,465 |
£2,110 |
-£355 (-14.4%) |
Level without guarantee age 65 |
£2,841 |
£2,444 |
-£397 (-16.2%) |
Level without guarantee age 70 |
£3,201 |
£2,762 |
-£439 (-15.8%) |
Level without guarantee age 75 |
£3,818 |
£3,287 |
-£531 (-16.1%) |
These figures are for a £50,000 pension pot, standard level without guarantee. Source: Moneyfacts
If you're about to retire and you're contemplating buying an annuity, make sure you read Annuity incomes tumbled 11% last year which will give you six tips on how to get the biggest possible income in your retirement.
And if you're not planning to retire for some years to come, there's no need to panic. There's a good chance that annuity rates will have risen by the time you get to retirement age.

A building at the University of Cincinnati was evacuated Wednesday due to fumes caused by primer applied to nearby concrete walkways and stairs.
Rieveschl Hall was evacuated around 12:00 p.m. after fumes seeped into the ventilation system. The building was evacuated due to a strong odor and safety concerns.
UC officials said the sealer was being applied to an area between the Rieveschl, Crosley and DAAP buildings, and the worst of the odors should be done but the process is not yet complete.
The school is now working with the crew applying the sealer to the walkway to create the least disturbance possible for classrooms.
According to UC officials, similar work will continue over the next several days.

Around 4:45 a.m., the accident was reported in Okolona at Preston Highway and Blue Lick Road.

Libraries and schools around the United States will spend April 30 celebrating El Día de los Niños/El Día de los Libros, a holiday honoring children, family literacy and multilingualism.
Loosely based on Children's Day celebrations from around the world (particularly Mexico) festivities in the United States began in 1997 largely through the efforts of children's author Pat Mora.
Libraries celebrate with bilingual story times, book clubs, fiestas and programs that include people from many different cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
In honor of El Día, think about visiting the library and checking out one of the North Olympic Library System's bilingual or Spanish books. All four branches of the North Olympic Library System have a collection of bilingual materials in Spanish for children and adults.
Search in the catalog by limiting the format to "español" to get a list of materials in Spanish. If you are interested in finding a book in a different language, the library may be able to get it through interlibrary loan; talk to library staff for information.
Get into the spirit of the day with these books from the NOLS collection:
The North Olympic Library will celebrate El Día at the Port Angeles Library on April 30 at 6:30 p.m. with a special bilingual story time, a piñata, crafts and food.
