-First Combination Study of a MET and EGFR Inhibitor-
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Exelixis, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXEL) today announced that it has initiated a phase 1/2 trial of XL184 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have had progressive disease while on a regimen containing erlotinib.
XL184 is a small molecule that simultaneously inhibits the MET, RET and VEGFR receptor tyrosine kinases. In the initial phase 1 part of the study, safety and pharmacokinetics of combining XL184 with erlotinib will be evaluated. The primary endpoint of the phase 2 part of the study is overall response rate. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, overall survival and pharmacodynamics.
"XL184 is a potent inhibitor of MET, and MET amplification has been shown to play an important role in the development of resistance to EGFR inhibitors in NSCLC," said Michael Morrissey, Ph.D., president of research and development of Exelixis. "Our preclinical data suggest that XL184 effectively inhibits growth of cancer cells that have become resistant to EGFR inhibitors through activation of the MET signaling pathway. XL184 also potently inhibits VEGFR, which is a validated target in the treatment of NSCLC. The compound has shown encouraging anti-tumor activity in an initial phase 1 trial and we are executing a phase 2 clinical development program, and are planning on initiation of a pivotal trial for XL184 in medullary thyroid cancer in 2008."
The phase 1/2 study of XL184 is expected to enroll up to 86 NSCLC
patients who have had disease progression while on erlotinib. The phase 1
portion of the study will evaluate dose escalation of XL184 in combination
with erlotinib, both

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review of your experience at The Spa at Four Seasons. We are thrilled to hear you and your wife so enjoyed your massages. We hope you will return for another treatment upon your next visit to the hotel.
My only motivation for going to this spa was because a colleague of mine who was staying at the Four Seasons, had a complimentary $100 toward any spa service, which she gave to me - I was at the Cosmo (which was great!). I was extremely surprised at how small the spa was with zero amenities. No reason to get...
We are very sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced following your treatment. We understand you have been in touch with our Spa management team directly since your review and we hope this issue has been resolved to your satisfaction.

Staying at the Four Seasons was the reason for the spa visit. This spa is not on par with Canyon Ranch as far as amenities, food and beverage options, lounging are or things to do while at the spa.

We have stayed at the four seasons 3 times already and every time my wife cannot go without a visit to the spa. great service and beautiful place!
The spa and the staff will blow your mind. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to enjoy the steam room. And if you're getting a massage, go ahead and splurge for the 80 min. It's worth it although you might not worth much (physically) when it's over. My body turned to jelly! But it was so good.
Compared to other Vegas spa the facilities are small and basic. The treatment menu was not very varied

Chiropractic: Why Get Adjusted? A simple analogy is working out — it must be done continuously or you lose your muscular strength and development. With the spine, maintaining proper motion is needed as we constantly overwork the joints. All the small jobs performed throughout the day add up and cause the muscles around the spine to shorten, trapping chemicals in the muscle and leading to adhesion formation in just a few days.
Chiropractic adjustments are safe and effective and long lasting as long as you maintain good posture and muscle strength. Our office would be happy to evaluate you to see if this type of care is right for you. visit our website at

NHL board approves realignment; Jets to join new division
It was rumoured for months and finally became official on Thursday: the Winnipeg Jets will be exiting the Southeast Division after this season and joining a division of clubs in their own time zone.
The National Hockey League's board of governors approved realignment for the 2013-14 season and the decision will move the Jets – members of the Southeast as the Atlanta Thrashers and after the move north – into a yet-to-be-named division that includes the Minnesota Wild, Chicago Blackhawks, Dallas Stars, Nashville Predators, St. Louis Blues and Colorado Avalanche. Only the Avalanche, who are in the mountain time zone, are not in the same time zone as Winnipeg.

"We're very relieved, as much as we've enjoyed those trips down south, I think our team and our coaches are very pleased to know that we're going to be playing in the central time zone," said Jets' Chairman and owner Mark Chipman in a conference call on Thursday.
"The travel burden ought to be not as onerous and we also really look forward to establishing some rivalries close to home, particularly Minnesota, the great franchise that presides in Chicago. I think our fans are extremely excited about the prospect of playing those teams and a lot of great teams in that division that are very much on the rise in St. Louis, Nashville has been a great team over the years and is consistently strong and Dallas has got a good young team.
"It's very exciting for us as an organization and for our fans to be geographically located where we ought to be. It looks like, from a league perspective, it's solved a lot of issues so we're very, very supportive of it."
The new format will mean that every team will play in each club's building at least once in a season. Asked if the idea of having more Canadian teams in their division would have been appealing, Chipman said:
"That would have been great, but as a number of people have pointed out, there were a lot of objectives that we tried to achieve. We are going to play all the Canadian teams. But I think what we've learned in the last couple of years playing in the Southeast is our fans really like seeing all the teams. Having the (New York) Rangers in our building tonight is huge. Having seen (Sidney) Crosby in our building and all the premier teams coming through from the east has been impactful.
"It would have been nice, perhaps, to play Edmonton, Calgary more often. But we are going to play them. We're going to play the Habs and the Leafs, Ottawa and Van and all those teams. Is it perfect? I don't think anybody in the league would say it's absolutely perfect. But as the commissioner said, we were trying to cover a lot of ground here and I think we've done that. The fact that we're not seeing all the Canadian teams as often as we might have liked is a very reasonable compromise for us."

3 games vs. each team (2 Home/1 Away vs. four teams, 1 Home/2 Away vs. four teams). Teams rotated on a yearly basis.
3 X 8 = 24 games
Non-Conference: 28 games
2 games vs. each team (1 Home/1 Away)
2 X 14 = 28 games
Playoff qualification will be primarily Division-based, with the top three finishers in each Division qualifying for the first 12 spots in the Stanley Cup Playoffs (and the first three "seeds" in each Division).
The two additional playoff spots in each Conference, designated as "Wild Cards," will be awarded to the next two highest-placed finishers in each Conference, ranked on the basis of regular-season points and regardless of Division.
"Seeding" of the Wild Card teams within each Divisional Playoff will be determined on the basis of regular-season points. The first-place finisher with the highest number of regular-season points in the Conference will be matched against the Wild Card team with the lowest number of regular-season points, and the first-place finisher with the second-highest number of regular-season points in the Conference matched against the Wild Card team with the second-lowest number of regular-season points.
The Playoffs will proceed as follows:
#1 vs. #4 / #2 vs. #3 -- winners play each other for berth in Conference Championship
Conference Finals -- Two advancing teams in the West and two advancing teams in the East meet in Conference Championship
Eastern and Western Conference Champions will meet in Stanley Cup Final.
The National Hockey League Players' Association has given its consent to play under this new Alignment and Playoff System for a minimum of three seasons, through the 2015-16 NHL season.
Updated on Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 3:19 PM CDT: Adds details of new alignment.

I've been looking for a good antifungal cream because of a fungus that I have on my big toe. I came across Tineacide about two months ago thinking that maybe it would do the trick and it certainly did. I was very impressed with how well the Tineacide worked to kill the fungus. I've been applying the cream to my toe twice a day and now the nail has grown back healthy and fungus free. Tineacide was a great find!
I have been using Quinsana Foot Powder every day since my military time in the 1960's and I buy it by the bunches so that I am assured that I will always have it on hand.
I've tried other brands but none are as good.
I've been trying all sorts of different products to cure my fungus and nothing really worked until I tried using Tineacide. It's really easy to use and you get pretty good results after a few weeks. It doesn't work right away so you have to be patient, but now the fungus I had is gone and my nails look a lot better. It really works!
I used Gordochom for about 3 months twice a day for thick toe nails. It wasn't long before I noticed pink normal nail growing. Since then I have been able to trim away all of the old thick nail and now my nails are beautiful. I used to be so ashamed that I didn't want to wear sandals, now I wear them all the time. Thank you Gordochom!
Everything was normal

Were oaks needlessly sacrificed?
Re "Fire crews establishing control lines to protect homes in Yolo County" (Page A1, July 5): While the Sacramento City and Sac Metro Fire Departments did an outstanding job of containing the fire to 40 acres; from viewing the fire live on TV, it appears little or no effort was made to protect the 100-year-old oak stands, even though a bulldozer was available. Part of the problem is they are not wildland fire departments, and while they respond to a number of grass fires, they seldom if ever respond to local forest fire.
New grass will sprout after the first rains this fall. New trees, however, take many years, and most will need to be replanted and nurtured for years. Was there a firebreak by the bike trail? Private landowners who fail to mitigate fire hazards on the boundaries of their property would likely be fined. Efforts need to be undertaken to work to revegetate this fine property.
-- Brian Barrette, Sacramento

General Info
Medical restraints, designed to be completely inescapable. You know when you hear the click of that lock that you are there to stay.
Most are designed with proprietary keys so only the holder can let you out, and the truly special of these tout a breaking strength of over one-thousand pounds rendering escape to be all but a pipe dream for the person caught within their grasp.
The feelings and sensations brought on by this level of helplessness hark back to the days of old style institutions where the restraints were the center of your treatment. A time before terms like âpatientâs rightsâ and âchemical restraintsâ were even entered in to the lexicon.
A world where just by upsetting the wrong person a patient was liable to be placed in immobilizing restraints and dark seclusion for no reason other than sport.
Your life was their say; your fate was decided for you; you were a member of the Asylum.
In this world liberties were often taken, sadists ruled the guard-stations, and patients were at their mercy. When faced with this kind of torment and seclusion the seconds would pass like hours, the hours like days, and the days like an eternity.
This was not a medical world by any stretch; this was a holding pattern for tortured souls. Odd and strange experimentations into the mind, in to sensation and human limits would take place within the depths of the institutions.
No regulation, no mercy, no way outâ The time has come once again to embrace this worldâ My Worldâ

About my Partner
Ideal partner
I am partnered in an open relationship, so play partners are always welcome. Appearance matters little, as you will be bound and masked, though to quallify that, if there is no physicall connection there probably wont be any play connection, so you cant turn me off or we wont play.
As for size, we play with gear, full coverage. you have to be able to fit what I got or have stuff of your own. A little tummy is fine, seriously obese is not.

"Nice, Neat, Practical, Pleasant"
My family and I stayed here. The experience was pleasant enough and I probably would stay here again. Make sure when you book your reservation that breakfast is included because it is not a standard part of the hotel amenities and only two meals were covered though we were a family of three. The front desk staff were cordial and very helpful with getting […] around town. I'd had an issue with the restaurant cashier (seemed he was new or in training) and they cleared it up immediately!

"great room but not clean"
The service was nice. I was happy to have a balcony room, but I was not very happy with the cleanliness of the bathroom. There was mold on the shower curtain and I alerted the cleaning staff, who was very friendly, but was unable to remove all of the mold on the certain.

"Ok service, decent location, excellent "amenities""
Checked in late at night and it took a VERY long time to get us a room. They failed to change our bed sheets.

"Vacation Loop"
We found the hotel quite nice and accomodating. Breakfast at the Bistro was good but pricy. Having friends and family in the area, we parked our car and were transported to DC and Old Town. Free, covered parking is a real plus.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Place!"
This place was great to stay at. Friendly staff. Rooms were really clean. Only downside was the 10 min walk to the metro but they have a shuttle that takes you there for free. There isn't much to eat in the area so plan on eating at their restaurant. Kinda pricey. Metro takes about 20 mins to get to the national mall.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel was in a convenient area. Clean provided basic amenities. Beds were not the most comfortable but not horrible for one or two nights.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel close to metro."
The hotel staff was very helpful. They did not have our reservation from Expedia even though we had a confirmation number. The staff contacted Expedia and were able to find us a room. They were also very good at giving us driving and metro directions.Genuine Expedia guest review
I had a great time. Staff were great. They help me and my girlfriend with directions around the city. Walking distance to restaurants and movies and the train station which was a plus.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Choice"
The location and cleanliness of the hotel was great. The price was acceptable being I made last minute reservations and the hotel is close to downtown Alexandria. Overall, a great hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great staff!"
The staff was terrific very friendly and professional.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Poor Customer Service"
My stay was awful. The manager/service clerk was not friendly and made me feel that I was doing him a favor by staying at his hotel or that I was of lesser value than those patrons who may have booked directly through the hotel. My requests were ignored. I asked to not be next to the stairs; however, my room was right next to the stairs. When I asked […] to be moved, it was treated as if my request was an inconvenience, only for me to finally be moved to a vacant room that was further down the hall away from the stairs. When I was moved from the room next to the stairs, I was placed in a room that had a toilet that ran constantly. I had to once again call the front desk to inquire about the toilet only to be moved yet again. Three rooms one stay. The manager/clerk felt more inconvenienced than I. He had a negative attitude when I was polite and wanted to work with them as opposed to just leaving the hotel and taking my business else where. It doesn't end there. On check out day, the "do not disturb' sign was on my door from the night before. At about 11:10 a.m., I went down stairs to load my car with my things and when I came back to the room, the sign was removed from the door, the sign was placed on the table, and the housekeeper had already removed my bed linen. I made the clerk on duty aware of the incident only to be told that the manager was not on duty at the time and the concern would be delivered to him upon his return. It was not a pleasant stay.

"Great hotel. So glad we found it."
Great room. Free parking. Free shuttle to DC Metro Station. Lobby resturant - good food, variety of selections, relaxing atmosphere. Considered leaving National Harbor Gaylord (second destination) a day early to return to this hotel - so much nicer.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Clean room and friendly staff."
Stayed one Night and had a good visit. Just remember to hang the do not disturb sign if you don't want to be visited by the housekeeping staff at 9:00am.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Great Hotel"
My boyfriend and I were looking for a nice but inexpensive hotel in the area close to the National Harbor in Maryland.

The hotel was not only a great location only minutes from the harbor but management and staff were happy and helpful. We will absolutely stay there […] again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hike to the metro"
I liked everything about this hotel except the distance to the metro. I think it is advertised as a 5 minute walk, but when you factor in luggage and a toddler, it's really more like a 20 minute walk over an overpass on a busy road. It could be a 5 minute fast paced walk if all you are planning on carrying is a mid-weight backpack or something on w […] heels. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"generally good"
I was disappointed because most of the hotels we stay at offer breakfast complimentary or, at least, coffee. And there was no pool, indoor or out. otherwise, staff was pleasant and generally efficient. We did leave one call for a wake up that never came. You would think that would be automated.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff was excellent and very welcoming!!! I requested more towels and they were knocking on the door before I could finish brushing my teeth! The shuttle service was wonderful!!

Location was great. Parking was tight, and we felt lucky to find a space each night. Coffee in lobby would add to the comfort.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just say no to the "Bistro""
The hotel was convenient especially for a weekend stay. It is located not too far from the metro. You can walk, drive and park or take their shuttle. I would only say stay away from their overpriced, low quality Bistro. First, I ordered a lemon drop martini. Anyone who loves martinis knows they are mostly alcohol. My martini was mostly juice. Not worth […] it for $10. The bartender is not a real bartender, using the little silver measuring cup for each drink. Just pour! Sheesh. We were going to have breakfast there the next morning but there was quite a line for food that is NOT FRESH! Don't let them trick you. We drove about ten minutes into town for a delightful breakfast at Firelflies. You're better off going there. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Qualit Stay"
The hotel met expectations! Overall service was good. Chris was excellent. Complementary shuttle to the Metro station was excellent, though they request you wait to call for pickup when you get off the train. we stood in the cold for 20 minutes waiting for pickup. Overall, a good stay, though.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Difficult to find"
We loved the hotel, but had a hard time finding it. When I called to ask for directions, I was put on hold. I stayed on hold for 25 minutes and nobody ever came back to me. I finally hung up after we found the hotel ourselves. When I got there, I found one lone worker behind the desk doing nothing. I told her I was still on hold and she looked at the […] phone baffled. I was not happy. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Service but minor issues"
Location was very convenient next to lots of restaurants and the AMC Theatre. Front desk staff was clean cut and mannered. Always pleasant to work with. My only complaint is that the housekeeping didn't always take the trash or wipe down surfaces. The water flow force was very low. Difficult to do things like wash your face and brush your teeth. But […] we managed. Knowing these minor issues I will stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Way to expensive for the location"
Way to expensive for the location, I wouldn't call this old town. The only thing in old town that is within walking distance is the Masonic Temple. I could have booked this same hotel three weeks earlier for almost 1/3 the price I paid. However it is a nice hotel and the water pressure in the shower was the best ever. And at least they didn't charge […] me extra for internet and parking my car in the hotels lot. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Nice room- however, the room had an interesting smell to it. Apparently the cleaners that are sprayed do not smell the best. You only notice the smell when you first walk in.

This invention relates to methods and systems for exchanging and rendering forms on computing devices.BACKGROUNDConventional form-rendering systems, such as those that render HTML forms, utilize a simple protocol to communicate between a client device on which the form is rendered and manipulated by a user, and a server that processes and provides data forrendering on the client device. More specifically, client devices in this type of environment typically send data to the server in the form of name-value pairs. The name portion of the name-value pair corresponds to a particular control in the form(such as a field in which the user might enter their name or address), and the value portion of the name-value pair corresponds to data that appears in a control.Typically, the server has been responsible for figuring out which data has changed and then, responsively, taking the appropriate action such as modifying the form, and then returning HTML data to the client device which can then be rendered forthe user.This simple protocol leaves much to be desired and has many shortcomings not the least of which include the inability to provide or support a rich, dynamic user experience, the inability to scale in a desirable manner, and taxing serverresources.SUMMARYVarious embodiments can support a richly dynamic form environment that permits editing on the client side and can alleviate many of the server-imposed processing complexities that have existed in the past. In at least some embodiments, complexediting scenarios permit users to make complex editing changes on a form, and have those editing changes captured and rendered on the client side for later communication to the server. Particular aspects of at least some of the embodiments can permitscalability, and can, in at least some instances, be employed in the context of a wide variety of browsers having different levels of capability, e.g. "thin" and "thick" browsers.

Another exotic vacation for Musky
Dear humans,
I have discovered a lake that is beautiful enough for me to think of moving to. It is called Lake Tahoe.
On my first day here, I took a swim. The water is very clear, though a bit colder than what I am used to in Otter Tail Lake on a late summer day.
The other difference I noticed is that in Otter Tail, I can swim out a long way and still dive down and touch the bottom.

TASER's new tools: Body cameras and the Cloud
A new camera that clips to a collar or sunglasses can record two hours of video, which could provide evidence in controversies over police officers' use of force
By Quentin Hardy
The International Herald Tribune
SAN FRANCISCO — Sgt. Brandon Davis vividly recalled the moment before he killed Eric Wayne Berry, but it was not the way it really happened.
"I told him to drop his weapon, twice," said Sergeant Davis, a police officer who worked at the time in Fort Smith, Arkansas. But after repeated viewings of a video of the shooting, captured by a minicamera he was wearing, he said, "it turned out it was nine different times. He kept telling me to drop my weapon." When Mr. Berry raised his .45-caliber pistol toward the officer and leaned at an angle that could improve his marksmanship, Sergeant Davis said, he shot Mr. Berry in the heart.

Love in a Cold Climate
December 25, 2014 | by Sadie Stein
We're out until January 5, but we're re-posting some of our favorite pieces from 2014 while we're away. We hope you enjoy—and have a happy New Year!
I moved to Greenpoint, in North Brooklyn, on the heels of a breakup, and although I lived there for years, in my memories it is always somehow winter. While I was hardly a pioneer in the neighborhood—a recognizable mumblecore actor lived one fire escape away—ten years ago it was still a far cry from today's full-on Girls-level gentrification; friends still griped about taking the unreliable G train to come visit, and more than one said that the rent had better be pretty cheap to justify the schlep. It was.
To those who know the area, this was just off of Monsignor McGolrick Park, a twelve-minute walk from the Nassau Avenue station. At first glance the apartment was unprepossessing, but after I had pulled up the stained carpet, painted the walls a vivid blue, found a copper leaf sculpture at a thrift store, and sewn a gaily-patterned bark-cloth curtain to separate the bedroom, I fancied it was cheerful, in a vaguely retro-modern way. There was also a fire escape large enough for a table and chairs, not to mention a few pots of nasturtiums and some basil in the summer, even though, again, my primary memories involve snow.
I had chosen the neighborhood because it was one of the few where I could both afford to live alone on my shopgirl salary and also feel safe walking alone at night. But I had not been living there long when I met M., and he kind of just moved in by osmosis. It was never a formal arrangement, but I didn't like going to his roommate-filled bachelor pad three trains away, and we were young enough that this sort of thing seemed normal. Read More >>
The In-Between Space: An Interview with Shelly Oria
November 25, 2014 | by Justin Taylor
The eighteen stories in New York 1 Tel Aviv 0, Shelly Oria's debut collection, are beguiling, bizarre, and wise. (One of them, "My Wife, in Converse," appeared in The Paris Review earlier this year.) Her sentences, with their clear-eyed, authoritative calm, underscore and complicate the unlikely circumstances in which her characters find themselves, and the chaos of their inner lives. Here, for example, is the narrator of "This Way I Don't Have to Be," on her addiction to sleeping with married men:
I always look them in the eye throughout, and that can be tricky, because they mostly try to avoid the intimacy of eye contact. I wait, and then suddenly it's there, passing through them like a wave. In that moment, their entire lives turn to air … For one brief moment, they go back in time, they make different choices, they are different men. And my body is the time-travel machine that takes them there.
Born in Los Angeles but raised in Israel, Oria moved to the United States at twenty-five, five years after finishing her compulsory military service. Though she was fluent in English, she thought—and wrote—in Hebrew; hoping to attend the writing program at Sarah Lawrence College, she taught herself to write fiction in English, an experience she describes as "one of the hardest things I've ever done." Her prose is both energized and measured, and perhaps this is the effect of customary Israeli volubility short-leashed by an inner translator—a tiny version of the author herself who sits at her little desk inside the brain, reading the rough transcripts as they are faxed up from the heart, and forever sending notes back down that read, Yes, but is that really exactly what you meant to say? All authors live with a version of this little demon; it just happens that Oria's is bilingual and combat trained.
I should mention that Oria is my colleague at the Pratt Institute. She is also a life/creativity coach and hosts a reading series in the East Village. Between all of that and a book tour, she is very busy, for which reason, though we would have much preferred the pleasure of each other's company, this interview was conducted via e-mail.
I find myself returning to the scene in the title story where Pie—who is in a three-way relationship with a woman and a man—divides herself into "Me No. 1" and "Me No. 2." No. 1, "the Israeli who was taught that being tough and being strong are the same thing," is ready to walk out the door on both lovers immediately. No. 2, "a woman who successfully impersonates an American" and "has a lot to prove," wants to stay. Pie seems to think that No. 1 has the right take on the situation, but it's No. 2's position she adopts as her own, and I for one am hardly convinced that she's wrong. Might you speak, then, to the risks and allures of pulling off a successful impersonation?
The thing is—and maybe this is obvious—both Pies are wrong. By which I, of course, also mean that they're both right. And to me that's what the story is trying to do, and what the book is trying to do, and what I'm trying to do, not only as a writer but as a human—challenge this idea of either-or, hang out a bit in the in-between space. Or really, the both space. As far as I'm concerned, that goes for nationality, for sexuality, for identity in general. We're hardwired toward this dichotomous way of thinking about and constructing identity. It's almost an addiction—a cultural addiction to categories. Read More »
Raised on Promises
October 29, 2014 | by Sadie Stein
If you're looking for a crash course in prewar hilarity—or, indeed, in American gender dynamics—get yourself to the nearest used bookstore and pick up a copy of 1910's Cupid's Cyclopedia, "Compiled for Daniel Cupid by Oliver Herford and John Cecil Clay." Perhaps the infantile title and winking byline give a sense of the work's witty tone.
Clay was a popular commercial artist of his day. Herford, meanwhile, was a successful professional wit; he was actually known as the American Oscar Wilde. (One imagines those who called him that had never read much Oscar Wilde.) He wrote a good bit of doggerel, plus such urbane texts as The Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1903, The Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1904, The Entirely New Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1905, The Complete Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1906, The Altogether New Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1907, The Quite New Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1908, The Perfectly Good Cynic's Calendar, The Complete Cynic, and The Revived Cynic's Calendar (1917).
As to the Cupid's Cyclopedia, it was not just for cynics. On the contrary! It's a pretty book, embellished with mischievous pen-and-ink cupids and liberally illustrated with watercolor plates. Here's the author's note: Read More »
In Search of the Lost Trail
September 26, 2014 | by J. C. Gabel
Remembering Le Grand Meaulnes on the centenary of its author's death.
"There is no doubting the classic status of Alain-Fournier's Le Grand Meaulnes," the novelist Julian Barnes wrote in the Guardian in 2012, having revisited the novel in his sixties to see if it retained its "youthful enchantment." "A poll of French readers," he noted, "placed it sixth of all twentieth-century books, just behind Proust and Camus."
Those two are widely known to English-speaking audiences, and yet Le Grand Meaulnes and its mysterious-sounding author are not. I asked twenty self-admitting Francophile friends if they had ever heard of Fournier; most of them hadn't. It doesn't help that the novel—the only book Fournier published in his lifetime—has had at least seven different titles in English: The Wanderer (sometimes with the subtitle Or, The End of Youth), The Lost Domain, The Land of Lost Contentment, The Big Meaulnes, The Magnificent Meaulnes. The most recent translation, from 2007, is called The Lost Estate, with Le Grand Meaulnes in parentheses.
Originally published in 1913, the novel only barely predated Fournier's death on the front lines in the first months of World War I, on September 22, 1914—a hundred years ago this week. Fournier was, at twenty-seven, one of the war's first literary casualties. "His unit strayed accidentally behind the loose German lines in a forest of the Hauts-de-Meuse," the novelist John Fowles wrote in an afterword to the book in the early seventies. "They found themselves trapped at the edge of a beechwood. The Frenchmen charged. Lieutenant Fournier was last seen running toward the Germans, firing his revolver. His grave is unknown. He was presumably buried by the enemy."
Having recently become a parent, I've started to cobble together a young-adult reading list to give to my son one day—which is what led me to Le Grand Meaulnes, with its affecting treatment of lost innocence and its finely tuned, fairy tale–like depiction of the "twilight world between boyhood and manhood."

The Favorite Game
September 19, 2014 | by Ezra Glinter
Leonard Cohen in love.
"Desperation is the mother of poetry."
—Leonard Cohen
Like most people, I remember the first time I had sex pretty well. I can recall the surprisingly adept flirting I carried off beforehand, and the moment of pleasant shock when she kissed me. I remember how we stayed in bed until three the next day and how when we finally got up, faint from hunger, we went to eat at a greasy spoon that had a little jukebox by each table. I have no idea what I ordered, but I do remember that she got a grilled cheese sandwich. In the next year and a half that we were together, I don't know if she ever ate another one.
We all have memories like that, jumping out of oblivion like buoys in the water. The facts might be fuzzy, but the moments are clear. Leonard Cohen describes such a memory in his first novel, The Favorite Game, published in 1963, when he was twenty-nine:
What did she look like that important second?
She stands in my mind alone, unconnected to the petty narrative. The color of the skin was startling, like the white of a young branch when the green is thumb-nailed away. Nipples the color of bare lips. Wet hair a battalion of glistening spears laid on her shoulders.
She was made of flesh and eyelashes.
Cohen, who turns eighty on Sunday, is exceptionally good at drawing out those moments of sexual crystallization. It's a skill that, along with his gravelly voice and poems about women's bodies, has given him a reputation for being a "ladies' man." Judging by the adoring crowds at his shows, it's a reputation he deserves.
Yet it isn't success with women that accounts for Cohen's particular vision, even if his fame as a lover may have, over time, borne the fruits of self-fulfilling prophecy. Rather, his work is shot through with fears of physical deficiency and sexual deprivation, loneliness and insecurity. "He could not help thinking that … he wasn't tall enough or straight, that people didn't turn to look at him in street-cars, that he didn't command the glory of the flesh," he writes of his autobiographical protagonist in The Favorite Game. Decades later, in his 2006 poetry collection Book of Longing, Cohen confessed: "My reputation as a ladies' man was a joke / that caused me to laugh bitterly / through the ten thousand nights / I spent alone."

The Physiology of Marriage
May 20, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
It's Honoré de Balzac's birthday, making this as good an occasion as any to investigate one of his stranger works, 1829's The Physiology of Marriage—an extraordinary kind of precursor to the self-help manual. Balzac was thirty when it was published, and already he felt he knew enough about the institution of marriage to advise others on the matter. And maybe he was: though he hadn't married yet, he'd already perfected the art of the aphorism. This book is full of them: "To saunter is a science; it is the gastronomy of the eye. To take a walk is to vegetate; to saunter is to live." "A man ought not to marry without having studied anatomy, and dissected at least one woman." And "Marriage is a fight to the death, before which the wedded couple ask a blessing from heaven, because it is the rashest of all undertakings to swear eternal love; the fight at once commences and victory, that is to say liberty, remains in the hands of the cleverer of the two."
The Physiology of Marriage is a series of meditations on the more quotidian aspects of loving and living with another—many of which arrive at the rather contemporary conclusion that marriage is an exceedingly difficult arrangement, liable to end in adultery. The book has moments of surprising candor about men and women, and Balzac clearly knows a thing or two about, you know, the Human Comedy. But he's also full of lousy counsel, and he loves playing power games. Here, for instance, are some excerpts from Meditation XII, "On the Hygiene of Marriage":Read More »
