The year's surprise hit Hum Tum has set Saif Ali Khan's stock on the rise. Suddenly he's being deluged with offers from top-grade filmmakers, advertising honchos, and show organizers. And the junior nawab is being offered the kind of money he always desired.
Yup, his fortunes have turned big-time for the first time in 12 years, and Saif is having a blast. Kyon nahin?
Between a hectic schedule for a fizzy drink, Saif takes time off for this talkathon:
What's life been like after the super success of Hum Tum?
I have been on a holiday for the last two months. I've also been traveling extensively between Europe, Singapore, and God alone knows where all. During this time I performed at a couple of award functions, did some commercials and shows. Then I hurt my foot and that actually had me feeling very fat for a while. So when I came back to Mumbai to massive attention and stardom (In a way, I'd like to believe that I have always been a star.) I wasn't looking the part. So I hid at home for as long as possible.
I don't know whether I should be sharing this with the world at large or whoever decides to read this, but I live in Lokhandwala. And for me to go anywhere is a 3-4 hour commitment, what with the Mumbai traffic and all. I'm not trying to sound holier-than-thou, but it is bad enough that you don't see enough of the family when you're working. And then to just come home for half-an-hour, change, and go out is not okay. I'm quite happy not going out.
I'd much rather keep my head down when I'm in Mumbai. And do my socializing when I'm in London or somewhere abroad because it's just easier that way.
Of course, one has to socialize sometimes. Like we had a party at Rain to celebrate the success of Hum Tum. So I was there. But I haven't been to Olive or any other restaurant for ages.
Have trade and industry equations changed for you post-Hum Tum?
Well, I'm feeling good. Certain people had been questioning factors like my salablity and so on. So now that I'm more bankable, I'm taken more seriously and that is fabulous. But now to look the part and take that further is the issue. So the diet has been on and so is the exercising. I want to look the way I want to be perceived next.
Actually, there are two approaches one can take. One is to say, thank you I have been very lucky and to maintain your average, as they say in cricket. Or two, do as many films as are offered to you. Some of them may run; some may not. But then you just keep working. There are many stars in the industry who have established a reputation that is beyond hits and flops. They reason that this film worked because I was rightly cast and this one didn't because I wasn't. But fine, who cares? I'm working and this is my job.
And there is the other slightly more paranoid approach where one says, I'm not going on the sets unless I'm really turned on by what's happening there. 'Coz I know my limitations as an actor.
Hrithik Roshan says he always knew you were ideally suited for the male lead in Hum Tum. Do you feel the same?
Well, I don't know what to say, considering the film was first written for Aamir Khan. And then they approached Hrithik Roshan and Vivek Oberoi before actually coming to me.
I'd like to believe that I suited the role. While on the subject, let me give you an example of an ad I've just shot for. There is this bit showing a rock band and I'm shown playing the guitar. I don't mean to sound pompous but I can confidently tell you that no one in this film industry can pretend to play the guitar on stage and be a rock star better than me. That's because I know the nuances involved with that performance, like tuning the guitar while playing it. And this is something only someone who knows the instrument will do. That lends so much credibility.
Similarly, I think it is true of film performances. If you know the character you are playing and the area within which you are performing, then the nuances and the credibility you give it are massive. If tomorrow I say I have always wanted to do action and play a tapori, then that's not likely to happen. Because I don't know what a tapori is like in the first place. It would be foolish of me to get into an area I don't know.
So you should get 100 percent credit for the Hum Tum gamble paying off?
Honestly, I think luck has a huge part to play in the whole thing. Now when people have started taking me seriously, then you start actually feeling that you know what runs and what doesn't. But I've been around long enough and I actually have no clue as to what runs.
I don't want to sound sycophantic about big banners, but I must give Aditya Chopra full credit for the success of the film. It was an incredible kind of business call, you know. He's the one who decided that this stock is going up and let me buy it now. And he then spent crores on the publicity and elevated it to the point where it was talked about among some multi-starrers that released around the same time.
Reports say you won't do multi-starrers anymore.
Of course, I will do multi-starrers. Nothing is going to change. I would much rather do two-hero movies. It is just that I'd want a part equal to that of the other hero. I remember when Harry Baweja offered me Qayamat, I asked him why couldn't I have a role equal to Ajay Devgan's. And he said because I wasn't saleable. I was kind of miffed with him at that point. But he explained to me that when I had a solo hit people would start giving me equal parts. So, when Hum Tum happened, I said, "Wow, merry Christmas, Saif, the time is here."
If for an entire year nothing exciting is offered to me, I'd much rather do a two-hero project. At least they can't nail you then if the film doesn't work. Only the filmmaker gets nailed.
So where are you taking your career now?
My life at the moment is divided into three segments. The main trunk is films, obviously. One major branch is commercial advertising. And the other major branch is shows. Perhaps I need to get an office to manage these three departments because there is too much going on there at the moment. And it's too haphazard. It's like you do your ads and your shows. Two, maybe three films a year because that's an area that needs controlling. Besides, I want to spend time at home, too. One doesn't want to while away one's youth, but one doesn't want to burn it up either. Now everything is pretty much proved. I'm now a bankable star. At least I can be spoken about in the same breath as some of the names I have always looked up to, like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan.
Till yesterday there were three saleable Khans—Shah Rukh, Aamir, and Salman. Would you say you're now the fourth?
I would not want to take credit for being on par with Shah Rukh, Aamir, or Salman. But I would like to say, yes, I'm saleable too. These guys have been consistently saleable from the word go. Which is something I can't even fathom, really. I don't like talking about other people in my interviews, but since you mentioned it, I must say that the numbers these guys have generated are huge. And they have done it repeatedly, so it would be unfair to even compare myself to them.
Of course, my surname is Khan and you know whenever they would talk about three Khans, I would somewhere hope that someday there would be four. 'Coz it is very elite company as far as the box office is concerned.
And the reason why I get along with Shah Rukh and Salman is because I give them respect. I don't act like I'm on the same level. Perhaps mentally I'm on the same level. And we can talk about things and hang out together. But it is clear from my attitude that I respect their success. My upbringing teaches me to appreciate the kind of success these guys have. And I never try to say, "Hey buddy, I'm just like you now." I think that would have an adverse reaction. I would react adversely if a newcomer came up to me and said, "Hey, even I've just had an average movie and I'm rocking," which is what a lot of them do today. It irks me.
What film do you start working on next?
Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Parineeta is the only film I've signed right now. And I'm trying my best to do Karan Johar's next film directed by Soham. But it may not work out. When Karan called me in Spain and told me the genre of the film, I immediately agreed. Unfortunately, they require exactly the same dates I've committed to Vidhu Vinod Chopra much earlier. I believe Karan is already looking for an alternative. In many ways my loyalty is with Karan but ethically I'm bound. It is sad, but what to do? I can't be in two places at the same time.
Is Parineeta a period film?
Yes, it is. Pradeep Sarkar wanted me for another part in the film. And after the narration was over, I asked him why I couldn't play the main part. Pradeep said you are the main part. You are talking like him right now. And Vinod said, if you guys are convinced, go ahead.
It's the most fabulous script I've read in a long time. Since it is based in the '60s it will have great artwork and detailing. And for once I'm looking forward to getting into the wardrobe of the character. Persona-wise I play my father because that is what the character is, in terms of dignity, poise, and silence. It is a love story. And Pradeep is insanely passionate about it. That's the kind of people one must work with. You won't expect someone who has done Kal Ho Na Ho or Hum Tum to go there.
I'm not trying to sound clever, but it is boring to do the same thing over and over again. Sad but true, I get bored faster than most people.
What exactly are you looking for?
I don't know. Sometimes I think I should talk to Ram Gopal Varma and create something small but exciting. There are so many meaningful films made all over the world. But why is it that I get offered the same sort of thing again and again? Every guy says he's going to give me something new. But it all starts with me being the rich man's son, etc. You almost don't need to change the sets. You put up one fabulous set of sets in Mehboob Studio and you can make 50 films there.
People said things are getting better with corporates getting involved. They said everything is getting streamlined and becoming more professional. But it is not about money. There are so many movies made on shoestring budgets. But it takes an Oliver Stone to make a U-turn. He could have made a trillion-dollar extravaganza. But he makes a film in style. Just imagine having one cactus plant in the middle of nowhere. That's visually stunning.
Just one last question, was it really necessary for you to go and shake a leg at Lakshmi Mittal's daughter's wedding in Paris?
There was a stage. And people were performing. Kylie Minogue was there. And since Vanisha, Mr. Mittal's daughter, wanted Shah Rukh Khan and me, we went.
Before accepting the offer, I did discuss the morality of the issue with Shah Rukh.
Look, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan saab performed at my cousin's wedding in Pakistan. And none of us looked down upon him. In fact, we were happy to have a star in our midst. Begum Akhtar sang at people's homes. But that doesn't make her less respected.
Besides, the Mittal wedding wasn't in someone's house. It was the Versailles Palace in Paris. And the audience was select, comprising of some of the biggest industrialists in India and abroad.
Mr. Mittal wanted to buy the best possible entertainment that he could. Hello, that's who we are. We are actors. If you show off your craft with dignity, without demeaning yourself or anyone else, then it's fine. Not everyone can walk off that stage and then walk into the dinner and have people say, "Very well done." And you reply, "Thank you very much," and continue a normal conversation. If someone asked me to come to Delhi and perform at his farmhouse I wouldn't.
Anyway, I had a blast in Paris. We were spoilt rotten. By the end of it, there were more bottles of pink champagne than ashtrays. And people were putting out their cigarettes in them. It was so ostentatious. On second thoughts, you can't be too ostentatious in that city. The more you spend, the better it fits in. It wasn't loud. Let me put it this way, just about anything in Paris was affordable.
As I said, there was a stage. And Shah Rukh and I put together a small play. It wasn't as if it was a family function and people were doing their own thing while we were performing. Having said it all, it is not something I might do very often.

Q: Connecting Remote Machine by using VBA I want to connect a remote computer by using RDP (mstsc.exe) from Excel (VBA macro). I am using the following code for this.
Code:
Sub Connect()
    RDPWindow = Shell("C:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe /admin /v:" & "ServerName", 1)
End Sub

but I don't want to enter my credentials manually. How can I add that thing in my code so that I can directly connect any remote machine by using specific credentials?

A: Place the credentials in the credentials store keyed to the remote address/name by using shell to execute:
 cmdkey /generic:TERMSRV/10.1.2.3 /user:UUUU /pass:XXXX

Run TS with:
 mstsc /v:10.1.2.3

To remove when you are done:
 cmdkey /delete:TERMSRV/10.1.2.3

A: Passing the username and password in not possbile, because there is no parameter for this.
But Mstsc supports connection files

Home Politics John Bercow plans to stay on as Commons Speaker
John Bercow plans to stay on as Commons Speaker
UK Parliament / AFP
John Bercow has said he has no plans to stand down as Speaker of the House of Commons, despite speculation that he would retire this summer.
He said he would remain in post while there were what he described as "momentous events taking place in Parliament".
He told the Guardian that it was not "sensible to vacate the chair" at the moment.
There have been calls for the next Speaker to be a woman.
BBC political correspondent Ben Wright said Mr Bercow had become a "pivotal" figure in Brexit debates in the Commons, both enraging the government and some Tory MPs, while earning plaudits from others.
Media captionThe Speaker has found fame across Europe with his signature cry capturing the public's attention
After his first election nearly 10 years ago, Mr Bercow said he intended to serve no more than nine years. He has since been re-elected unopposed again in 2015 and 2017.
But on Tuesday, he told the Guardian newspaper: "I've never said anything about going in July of this year.
"Secondly, I do feel that now is a time in which momentous events are taking place and there are great issues to be resolved and in those circumstances, it doesn't seem to me sensible to vacate the chair."
Bercow: MPs will get a say over no-deal Brexit
Has race to succeed John Bercow begun?
As Speaker, Mr Bercow is in charge of keeping order in the Commons, selecting which amendments will be voted on and deciding whether or not to grant emergency debates and urgent questions.
Mr Bercow has faced claims of anti-Brexit bias and overruling precedent on "a number of key votes".
On Tuesday, he dismissed claims from some Brexiteers that because a no-deal exit is the default position in law, it will "inevitably" happen if no agreement is reached by 31 October with Brussels.
He insisted MPs would get the chance to have their say on no deal.
And in March, he controversially ruled out MPs voting on Prime Minister Theresa May's deal for a third time unless the government asked a different question.
Speaking to the BBC, Brexit Minister James Cleverly said he had "long known that the House of Commons and the Speaker will do everything they can to prevent a no-deal Brexit."
Tory MP seeks support to remove Bercow
Is John Bercow at the end of his tether?
Earlier this month, Conservative MP Crispin Blunt made an attempt to remove him from his position, saying even his supporters "do not now seriously dispute his bias".
In January, Mr Bercow dismissed claims that he had displayed an anti-Brexit sticker in his car, insisting it belonged to his wife and that she was "entitled to her views".
The Speaker has also faced allegations of bullying, which he denies.
Labour MP Chris Bryant has said that when Mr Bercow does stand down, his successor must focus on "tending to the wounds" caused by Brexit rows and harassment scandals.
Meanwhile, two female MPs – Gloria De Piero and Nicky Morgan – have called for the next Speaker to be a woman.
What is the role of the Speaker?
The Speaker, elected by MPs, is in charge of keeping order in the House of Commons.
They pick MPs to speak in debates and can suspend those who deliberately break the rules.
They also select which amendments will be voted on and decide whether or not to grant emergency debates and urgent questions.
In addition to these duties any new Speaker will have to handle allegations of bullying and harassment in Westminster.
The position is an impartial role and, once elected, the Speaker is expected to resign from their party.

Bhai Gurdas (, 1551 - ) est un écrivain sikh et une figure religieuse de ce mouvement. Il a été le scribe des textes fondateurs du sikhisme : le Guru Granth Sahib, et a accompagné quatre des Gurus sikhs, les maîtres de cette religion.

Bhai Gurdas est né à Goindwal, un petit village du Pendjab (aujourd'hui en Inde). Son père Ishardas Bhai était le cousin germain de Guru Amar Das. Le prénom de sa mère était Mata Jivani ; elle est morte en 1554, trois ans après sa naissance.

Orphelin à 12 ans, il fut adopté par Guru Amar Das, puis par Guru Ram Das.
Il prêcha le sikhisme, étudia et rencontra Guru Arjan. Il termina d'écrire l'Adi Granth en 1604, et a aussi rédigé divers autres textes fondateurs du sikhisme.
Il s'éteignit le  à Goindwal. Guru Hargobind effectua personnellement sa crémation.

Just two more weeks
I'm in the home stretch as far as teaching goes. In the drama course, our last sequence includes a number of different treatments of the theater of empire: Aphra Behn's Oroonoko, Thomas Southerne's theatrical adaptation of Behn's novella, a great recent stage adaptation of both by the British-Nigerian writer Biyi Bandele, some of Edmund Burke's speeches impeaching the governor-general of the East India Company, Warren Hastings, and finally Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play Pizarro, about the conquest of Mexico. Plus a little Artaud for good measure. In the graduate class, three more novels to go (Frances Burney's Evelina, Jane Austen's Emma and Muriel Spark's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, plus miscellaneous criticism by Adorno and Bourdieu. I've got several other books to read for 'school' (namely, Seth Koven's recent book Slumming and eighteenth-century novelist Sarah Scott's Millenium Hall). Plus the usual run of talks and meetings and such. I am desperate to read a trashy novel or two but I can see it's going to have to wait...

No, that's not an imperative. It's an interesting little essay on the history of the idea of 'taste' in the eighteenth century.

A strange feeling
I read an excellent novel, Pernille Rygg's The Butterfly Effect, but it gave me the extremely strange feeling that I was reading a novel by my separated-at-birth Norwegian twin! This is a great book--looking forward to the next one too--it's reminiscent of Peter Hoeg's Smilla's Sense of Snow and also of my own novel Heredity. I have a minor obsession with this Scandinavian thing--I liked The Butterfly Effect especially because of the Oslo setting and the smart, emotionally damaged female narrator.
I also read Karen Joy Fowler's The Jane Austen Book Club. It was OK. I didn't hate it, but I certainly didn't love it. It's minor. I am curious as to whether her other novels are more substantial--probably worth a look, anyway. But I definitely won't be adding it to the syllabus for my Jane Austen seminar this spring (that syllabus is already packed full, anyway).
Dame Edna
I was skeptical, but it turns out that Dame Edna: Back With a Vengeance is good clean family fun! Seriously, if you're looking for something edgy, obviously this isn't it, but it's genuinely funny and engaging and just what you'd want if you had a bunch of people who wanted something satisfying and Broadway-ish and sort of middlebrow in a good way. We had dinner afterwards in the enclosed garden at Le Madeleine; the whole dinner was excellent, but I had a lemon custard for dessert that was the most delicious sweet I have had for ages.
"It's not so much accent as rhythm that gives us away. Where stresses fall, the momentum towards sentence's end, pauses on nouns or verbs"
Just finished James Sallis's Cypress Grove. This is an amazing book. (I was tipped off to it by Ken Bruen, who as far as I am concerned is a genius with impeccable literary taste.) Excellent, excellent noir. Wonderful first-person narration. Elegant weaving-together of past and present narratives to sum up a life. Imagine a more lyrical version of Pete Dexter. This is a fantastic novel! Must get all of his others from the library ASAP. This is ridiculously better, too, than much of what's out there in the detective fiction aisles--why isn't this guy more famous?!? (Or maybe I've just been oblivious to it. But seriously, get this book and read it, you won't regret it.)

"Landslide!"
Finished the rest of The Line of Beauty. It won't be to everyone's taste--and no, I'm not talking about the coke-and-gay-sex aspect of it, just the verging-on-overblown aestheticism. I know a lot of people who are just unwilling to read books written in this kind of a backward-harking style. (For instance, I don't know that I'd recommend it to Kevin Wignall, who "detested . . . 'GB84' by David Peace, 'Cloud Atlas' by David Mitchell, 'Notes on a Scandal' by Zoë Heller, 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time' by Mark Haddon - all of them simply awful"--link from
Jennifer Jordan via Sarah Weinman. My brothers wouldn't have the patience to bother with it. My mom would most likely find the Jamesian style offputting. My dad might read it, because he's interested in British politics in the 1980s, but in the grand scheme of things there are a lot of books I'd be far more likely to recommend to him, for instance, Richard Fortey's Earth: An Intimate History. You get the idea. In fact, I imagine most people I know are relatively unlikely to read this book.)
But it's brilliant. It's really, really good. The description of Thatcher at the party is amazing. The last section of the novel is tragic. The unflattering precision with which Hollinghurst anatomizes each thought and feeling of Nicholas Guest--I don't even know where to begin. Anyway, the Booker judges did well this year. This is a major novel by a fascinating writer. Well worth the time. And yet I am very unlikely to reread it, just because the characters are so relentlessly offputting. Interesting experience.
Winter House
It was an amazing thing--I stopped by the department this afternoon and in my mailbox found Carol O'Connell's Winter House, the latest Mallory novel (a loan from my friend MM). This was about the only thing that would stop me from going home and unwisely going to sleep mid-afternoon, thereby disrupting another night of sleep. It was very good--better, I think, than the last couple--and there is something lovely and retro about having an ice-pick killer. I'm always on the fence about O'Connell--by far her best book was the stand-alone Judas Child--but the Mallory books never quite live up to my expectations. There's something too surreal and stylized about them, and also O'Connell's too taken with her characters and their little non-family closeness. (They're really so much better than Martha Grimes's books that it's unfair to O'Connell to compare them, but I have a similar sense of writers over-invested in their relationship with a set of characters that don't necessarily manage to evoke the same warmth and interest from the reader.) However, this one's well worth reading.
I must read a few more novels this weekend to regain my novel-reading equilibrium, I've been rather starved this last few weeks through working too hard.
This complicated and controversial question
I was just struck by Randa's post at MoorishGirl, quoting an Identity Theory interview with Don Lee that I read earlier in the week and found most engaging and interesting. Randa responds to a comment of Lee's below:
In Robert Birnbaum's interview with Don Lee, they discuss how Lee found time to write, away from his full-time Ploughshares editing gig:
DL:...[T]he way I was able to write the novel is because I don't have children.
RB: [laughs]
DL: I don't know how writers who have children are able to do it, to produce anything.
RB: There's an idea for an anthology. I just saw one today, a collection of stories by writers who live with other writers. So the next one will be Writing With Children.
I write and I have a child.
Today is my son's 8th birthday. About this time 8 years ago, I was an 18 year old college sophomore stretched out on a Connecticut hospital bed, in labor. I would have never imagined that I'd be in Texas, finishing up a novel, now. I just wanted to give birth and finish up my semester.
Writers who have children write, produce, the same way writers without children do. They find a spot, a closet, a room, and a writing tool, and they string words together on essentially borrowed time.
Back to my closet and my son's b-day cupcakes now. Have a good weekend!
Randa's point is a sensible one, and in many ways I completely agree with her. But I feel some need to speak up for Don Lee, who surely was making a modest point about his own accomplishments rather than, really, a generalization about what's possible! (He's really talking in context about how he has balanced his fiction-writing against his rather all-consuming job as editor of Ploughshares; for the whole interview, which is well worth reading, see Identity Theory.)
I don't have children, but a number of my friends at similar stages in their academic careers now have a child or two, usually under the age of five but in several cases rather older. And what I say is that I simply couldn't have my academic career as it is and my academic writing and my fiction writing and a child. If I had the child, one of the other things would have to go, and because the academic career and the academic writing are necessary to me in every sense (i.e. that's how I make a living as well as satisfying various inner needs), the fiction writing is what would have to go for some years. (And probably also a serious scaling-down of my immediate ambitions as a literary scholar--I think it adds up to much the same thing in the end, but the academic career--like so many others--is heavily front-loaded, meaning that you are expected to do a great deal of work in your twenties and thirties, and if you're on a slower clock due to a mix of different responsibilities, it can be very tricky to recoup afterwards.) And that's something I don't think I can handle.
It's just a matter of choices, I guess--we all need certain things and it's a different combination for different people. Margaret Atwood has a great quotation--I wish I had the exact line, it was better phrased than I can do here. I think she was responding to an interviewer's question about why she stopped teaching creative writing at some point in her career. And she says something to the effect of this: "Well, you can have a job and write, and you can write and have a child, and you can have a job and have a child. But you can't write and have a job and have a child." (Rita Dove says something elsewhere that's very similar about choices she made after she had a child.) In a literal sense, of course lots of people can and do write and have a job and have a child. But a very demanding job (assistant professors notoriously don't HAVE such a thing as "spare time"--in fact, it's sort of similar to being a parent in its huge and all-encompassing notion of 24-7 responsibility and hard work...), and a demanding vocation as a writer--well, it's an awful lot on your plate already. And that's what I think Don Lee meant to say.
It's done! (Well, sort of, for now, provisionally)
Just printed out the final version of Dynamite No. 1 and after wrestling with the wretched Cubmail e-mail program also managed to send the file electronically to my agent's lovely assistant. So even though I will still need to take the packet to FedEx tomorrow morning, I am hoping I might get an OK night's sleep with a sense of accomplishment. (Probably not. One of the more peculiar things I noticed as I revised the novel is that I didn't even notice how much I gave my own insane sleeping problems to my main character. Anyone who reads this book and my last one is going to see points of commonalty and make their own deductions about the psyche of its author.... I mean, there's lots that's not me at all, in both books, but this thing of young women who are extremely bad sleepers and wish they didn't have any feelings is pretty clear across the two.)
I initially started this blog as I was finishing an earlier draft and thought I would use this to chronicle the path towards publication. Obviously that was quite premature! I am not going to post anything about the official status of this project until I actually have a publisher. But as soon as I do, this is the first place you'll see it.... I will just have to try and be patient.
My grandmother is a plainspoken north-of-England kind of a lady; I think she was always very blunt in her observations but as she progressed through her 80s she got ridiculously more blunt in a very attractive and hilarious way. (Let's just say she doesn't like my current hairstyle!) One thing she said this summer that struck me was a sort of rumination on her own temperament. She's a good listener, and has always listened quite attentively even to speakers that most people find quite maddening. "People always tell me what a patient person I am," she said. "But I'm not patient at all!" And I'll say the same myself--I think I am widely taken to be an extremely patient person, but really I'm not, I just hide my impatience better than the next person and have excessive levels of self-control.

Just in case you thought my previous post was dogmatic
I'm following the hint at Caleb Crain's blog: "'It would be nice if more blogs would link to my Alice Munro profile,' said Peter, wistfully. While I am obliging, here's a more permanent link to Peter's Alan Hollinghurst interview, too."
And since it didn't copy, here's the Hollinghurst
It's a very good piece. I must confess I have done the terrible thing and read the final section of The Line of Beauty without having finished the middle section! (I always terribly have the temptation to look at the end.) So I should finish the whole thing before I post. But... Alan Hollinghurst is very brilliant, but to me there's some failure of imagination about his books. My idiot way of expressing it is that I want him to write about more likeable protagonists, which is hardly a very fair or intelligent suggestion. But there is some broader question about character in the novel that I can't quite articulate. This guy is so, so smart, as smart as you can imagine someone being (as smart as Henry James!) and yet there is some quite near limit to what he can imagine in terms of a character to focus the narrative around. I think he's a sort of genius. But I want him to keep pushing and see if he can't write something that will not have this sort of emotional cautiousness about it.
It's a really good novel. Read it. I don't think I could possibly write one as good, not in this vein, not at all really. And yet it doesn't have the appeal to me of, oh, The Time of Our Singing, by Richard Powers.
I am a New York-dweller who's extremely skeptical about readings (I hate being read aloud to, it's much faster and more effective to consume writing on the page; plus you usually have to trek down to the Lower East Side or Brooklyn, a good hour away on the subway from the almost-suburban-in-its-distance-from-stuff Morningside Heights neighborhood I live in), but I went to the n+1 reading at Labyrinth this evening. I'm admittedly biased, but I thought my friend Marco's reading about his relationship with Derrida was much the best thing on the menu.
A question of taste
I'm sort of mesmerized as well as horrified by Jonathan Franzen's claims about Alice Munro in this weekend's NYTBR. Reading it made me feel like an alien from another planet. There is something resolutely and horribly normalizing about this piece! (And I say this as someone who liked The Corrections very much despite sort of wanting not to. It's a very good book. Not my kind of book, but a really excellent book that everybody should read, on the short list of top 20 American novels of last 10 years, say. And I don't mean that to sound insulting, that's my honest assessment! It's a compliment!) Here's what Franzen says about Munro:
Alice Munro has a strong claim to being the best fiction writer now working in North America, but outside of Canada, where her books are No. 1 best sellers, she has never had a large readership. At the risk of sounding like a pleader on behalf of yet another underappreciated writer -- and maybe you've learned to recognize and evade these pleas? The same way you've learned not to open bulk mail from certain charities? Please give generously to Dawn Powell? Your contribution of just 15 minutes a week can help assure Joseph Roth of his rightful place in the modern canon? -- I want to circle around Munro's latest marvel of a book, ''Runaway,'' by taking some guesses at why her excellence so dismayingly exceeds her fame.
I basically disagree with everything he says. Alice Munro is an excellent writer. But I can't see by what criteria she's "the best fiction writer now writing in North America." (How can you say this, anyway? There are LOTS of 'best' fiction writers. It's very much a matter of taste, surely?) And how is Munro underappreciated? Uh, I had to read a book of hers in high school. It was fine. She's a good writer. It's not my cup of tea. (It was Lives of Girls and Women. It's republished in Vintage Contemporaries. Yeah, obscure and underappreciated.) Alice Munro's stories are regularly published in the New Yorker. A million people see them! Again, by what standard underappreciated? In what sense does her excellence exceed her fame? She's excellent, yeah. But Franzen admits it in his piece--she cycles around a relatively narrow set of topics, and her style is relatively fixed. She and William Trevor are both wonderful writers. If you gave me the choice of the complete works of Alice Munro versus those of Joyce Carol Oates, I'd take the latter any day. Style can only take you so far. Sensibility, intellectual range, ambition: all those are good things too. Maybe the JCO comparison isn't the clearest. But I feel that there's something in this Franzen-lauding-Munro that is really anathema to all my sensibilities. Anyway, what about the possibility that you can't HAVE a best at all when it comes to fiction? That you've always got to have a lot of crazy different voices?
What I'm teaching this week
In the drama course, Sheridan's plays "The Rivals" and "The School for Scandal" (both quite excellent as far as I'm concerned); in the graduate seminar, Smollett's "Expedition of Humphry Clinker," a novel that deserves a much wider readership than it seems to get.
Not much good
It's that point in the semester when I can hardly get my head above water to breathe. School's super-busy and I'm desperately trying to finish my novel revisions in the cracks between. (I've just worked for ten hours without stopping but realize I will explode if I keep on working tonight! So I'm going to go out and get the paper & come home to read & fume over the NYTBR.)
It's a pity that the two things I've found time to sneak in over the last few days were both disappointing. I was terribly looking forward to P. B. Kerr's The Akhenaten Adventure, the first volume in a young-adult fantasy trilogy called Children of the Lamp. I think quite well of his novels for adults (Esau and The Grid were pretty absurd & over-the-top, but I liked A Philosophical Investigation and the novels in the Berlin Noir trilogy are good). And I love young-adult fantasy trilogies (Philip Pullman and Garth Nix are my heroes). But this is pretty lame. Well, to be fair, it's for younger kids, and it's very "read-aloud"-y, neither of which things do I particularly like. Call me a humorless American, but I'm not particularly taken with the jokes about the Egyptians, the French and so on. But the main thing is that the characters never really come to life, and there's also no sense of real danger here even at the most supposedly thrilling points of the plot. Compare this to any of Diana Wynne Jones's Chrestomanci books, for instance, and it's easy to see what's missing.
The other thing was less of a disappointment because I had such low expectations to begin with. And indeed Eve Ensler's "The Good Body" is not at all my cup of tea. It's really a sort of a cult, as far as I can tell, like Est or Scientology. (I believe Est=Landmark Forum in this day and age.) Yeah, sure, she's doing a critique, but there is something wretchedly self-defeating about performing this kind of obsessiveness with the flaws of her own body! It manages at one and the same time to be sort of bland and middlebrow and also obnoxiously doctrinaire about feminism. It reminded me of Naomi Wolf's "The Beauty Myth." And no, this is not a compliment.
Work's been much more rewarding than pleasure, in other words. It's not the point of this blog to say much about what I read/hear in work-related contexts, but I will say that Luke Gibbons is a very interesting man and his book about Edmund Burke quite brilliant; and my colleague Joey Slaughter has a powerful argument about human rights and narratives of development but I can't find anything good to link to.
I feel that I am channeling the ladies of Cupcake!
Just idly checked the Amazon editors' picks for top ten books in Literature & Fiction. Nine of the ten are by white men! (The other is Marilynne Robinson's.) I've read two out of the ten only (Philip Roth and Jonathan Ames), and they're certainly both very good. But it's the pattern of taste that emerges--it's the list you pick if you're a certain kind of guy in your late twenties to mid thirties--what about all the great books by women published this year? What about major books by various writers who might be defined as people of color? I'm not saying it has to be equal representation. I'm saying that this list shows a terribly restricted kind of literary taste. (It's pretty "literary," too, in a way I don't much like.) Cupcake has its work cut out for it....
In the drama course, David Garrick's "The Jubilee," a bizarre and wonderful musical entertainment in which Garrick transformed the humiliating debacle of the Shakespeare Jubilee at Stratford (the Millennium Dome of the 1760s, so to speak) into a huge success at Drury Lane, plus miscellaneous stuff on acting styles in the 18th century by Joseph Roach and others; in the culture seminar, Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Woman and criticism by Donna Haraway and some provocative (read nightmarish?) pieces on gender and evolutionary psychology by Steven Pinker and Robert Wright.
Booker judging
Interesting interview with one of the Booker judges, Robert Macfarlane. I agree with lots of what he says, including low quality of Vernon God Little and preference for The Folding Star over The Line of Beauty when it comes to Hollinghurst (though I also agree that surely the right book won this year). This guy comes across as smart, interesting and sympathetic. (God, I'd love to be a Booker judge.... not likely to happen....) However, his favorites do show one troubling pattern. He doesn't think Sarah Hall should have made the short list, and he doesn't mention a single book by a woman on his list of favorites at the end. I really think people are blind to their biases this way, which is why it's so dangerous: women tend to be far more receptive readers of books by men than the other way round.
(Link via The Literary Saloon at the Complete Review, one of my favorite lit blogs.)
Idle reading
Despite my disparaging remarks earlier, I couldn't help myself from reading two more books by KJ Erickson: The Last Witness and Alone At Night. The last is definitely the best of the four; you can see her skills improving, and the writing is really good in lots of ways. But this is a writer who's willfully ignoring various facts about what makes a good detective novel! Her fatal weakness is for overelaborate plotting. The first of these features an OJ-Nicole-type story (and while the social-justice-detective-novel may not be your favorite, I do find it bizarre that this novel completely ignores any questions either about domestic violence or about racism in America--there's something perverse about sidelining race in a book like this--quite implausible, I think), but the plot twist at the end is literally incredible. The second is better but again somehow invokes an absurd "jungles-of-Vietnam-sniper-hooks-up-with-US-senator" type thing, plus connections made between killings in various places are completely farfetched. The reason this is frustrating is that the books are much better than average in many respects. But the same thing that makes Erickson create a reasonably plausible detective but then give him the name "Marshall Bahr," aka "Mars Bar," nickname "Candyman" (is this even faintly plausible? I don't t hink so) kicks in to unfortunate effect with these plots.
I prefer happy endings
It's my temperament--and I am also well-acquainted with escapism. The first time I taught this drama lecture course was in fall 2001 and the bawdy comedies of Restoration England really did become an extraordinary way of escaping the terrible sadness of life in New York in September and October 2001. It was like a little oasis twice a week. I had the same thing again this morning--I vanished into a fantasy of Shakspeare in the 18th century. It was particularly apropos because I was lecturing on the Nahum Tate adaptation of King Lear, notorious for (among other things) the happy ending in which Cordelia marries Edgar, Lear happily abdicates his throne to them and so on. But I thought about it and I realize I really do have great sympathy for happy endings. My favorite Richardson novel isn't Clarissa but Sir Charles Grandison (I do love Pamela as well though I can see it is technically inferior in some ways). This is what Samuel Johnson said, in a note to his edition of Lear, about Tate's ending (Tate's version was what you would have seen for over a hundred and fifty years, pretty much, if you went to see Lear in England): "In the present case the publick has decided. Cordelia, from the time of Tate, has always retired with victory and felicity. And, if mys ensations could add any thing to the general suffrage, I might relate, that I was many years ago so shocked by Cordelia's death, that I know not whether I ever endured to read again the last scenes of the play till I undertook to revise them as an editor."
This is also the appeal of the alternate-history genre, at least if you exclude its most dystopian incarnations. Even The Plot Against America ends with everything going somehow back to normal--a fantasy of restoration. Write a disaster, and then write your world back out of it.
I waste my time with this kind of stuff. OK, it wasn't truly atrocious (I'm talking about KJ Erickson's The Dead Survivors) but it's pretty poorly constructed, quite meandering, and vexed with a ridiculously overelaborate plot. Farfetched serial-killer premise. I've got two more of her books on loan, but think I will skip the next one and just go for the most recent, which I was told is quite good. Of course the truth is that I always need some pretty undemanding books to read on the side. I've got Alan Hollinghurst's Booker-winning latest from the library, but don't have the attention to spare for it; a few other volumes of light reading await; but mostly I just need to read for this week's classes.
In the drama course, we're doing Nahum Tate's adaptation of King Lear (many interesting things about this, but it's notorious chiefly for giving the play a happy ending--Cordelia lives to marry Edgar, etc. etc.), plus miscellaneous critics on Shakespeare in the eighteenth century, including Michael Dobson. In the graduate course, we're reading most of Rousseau's Emile, plus various thought-provoking extracts by Eve Sedgwick, Kate Soper and Thomas Laqueur.
I am currently enjoying Columbia's weird election day holiday--in compensation for not getting Columbus Day or any extra time at Thanksgiving, we get Monday and Tuesday off this week--working fiendishly hard to revise my novel. I'm on chapter 7 of 13 which is pretty reasonable. Must finish before Thanksgiving, preferably by Nov. 15 if humanly possible.
Tomorrow I'm going to vote for the first time. Isn't that awful? But I only got my citizenship in 2000, and moved to NY in August 2000 and didn't get it together to register in time for the last presidential election. I have an 8:30am voting date with my friend Nico. I am deeply pessimistic about the likely outcome but will be delighted if my predictions prove wrong.

States sue to block restrictive changes to Food Stamps Program January 16, 2020
African Americans are 40 percent of the nation's homeless population January 15, 2020
The Blackphone
One of the 10 top trends for 2014 is not the Apple iPhone 6, but the Blackphone which encrypts email messages among other things, according to the recently completed Online News Association Conference & Awards Banquet in Chicago.
The Blackphone, which was discussed during a standing-room-only presentation titled "10 Tech Trends in Journalism" enables owners to speak and chat knowing that their conversations are off the grid of surveillance.
In addition, a Blackphone owner can browse the Internet with the confidence of that nobody is looking over his or her shoulder. The phone uses encryption technologies already proven in government and enterprise accounts around the world, according to its website.
Blackphone, which began shipping in June, has been called a breakthrough technology. It costs $629.
It was created through a joint venture between encryption specialist Silent Circle, Geeksphone, and SGP Technologies. Blackphone, which began shipping in June, has been called a breakthrough technology.

Arnold family festival this weekend will include live music, real ale, BBQ, bouncy castle and more
It's an all-dayer raising funds for mental health charity Mind
Simon WilsonWhat's On Editor
Sign up for our new improved Arnold newsletter here
This weekend, a popular pub in Arnold is hosting a one-day festival that will include live music, real ale and family fun.
The Cross Keys in Front Street is hoping the Brightside Music Festival on Saturday (July 27) will raise much-needed funds for mental health charity, Mind.
"We've been planning this event for some time now – really making sure it's going to be a day all our customers are going to love," said general manager Justin Askew.
"We've got some great music acts coming to perform and what really makes it special, is that they're all local. I want the Cross Keys to play an important role in the local, up-and-coming and incredibly talented music scene we've got around here, and our festival is the first step to doing that."

As well as Lilley's Cider Shed, a mini beer festival will offer real ales from Hobgoblin and Marston's Brewery, including 61 Deep and Hobgoblin Gold.
There'll also be a barbecue, cake stalls and a tombola, plus children's activities such as a bouncy castle and face painting.
Added Justin: "I'm pleased we can do it all for a good cause. The work Mind do is so important, especially bringing more awareness to the struggles people suffering from mental health issues go through every day. If we can raise enough money to make someone's day that little bit easier, I'll consider that a success."

The Old Central High School is a historic school building at 99 2nd Street in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.  Built in 1898, it is one of the most architecturally elaborate school buildings in the city.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.  It is now residential housing.

Description and history
Pittsfield's Old Central High School is located northeast of the city center, on the east side of the old town common.   It is a U-shaped 3-1/2 story masonry structure, finished primarily in cream-colored brick, with marble trim and terra cotta detailing.  It has a hipped roof pierced by dormers, and is set on a high sandstone foundation.  Its centered entrance is flanked by Corinthian columns and topped by a full entablature with balustrade.  The interior design echoes the color schemes of the exterior.

The land on which the school stands was originally part of Pittsfield's first cemetery, whose graves were relocated to the Pittsfield Cemetery on Wahconah Street between 1850 and 1872.  When the city's previous high school burned down in 1895,  the city held a design competition for its replacement.  Of 130 designs submitted, the city selected one by the New York City firm of Pierce & Brun.  It was completed in 1898 at a cost of $200,000, well over the $135,000 it had been estimated to cost.  A new high school was built in 1931, after which this building became a junior high school.  It sat vacant from 1953 to 1959, and in 1961 became the first home of Berkshire Community College.  It has since been converted to residences.

Bangladesh Tea Gaining Notoriety
By Dan Bolton October 23, 2018

An American coffee roaster made an unusual trek to Bangladesh last April in search of tea.
His destination was the Kazi & Kazi tea estate in the northern reaches of the country, north of Assam in the foothills of the Himalayas. The 3,000-acre (1,214 hectare) tea garden was a desolate stretch of land, largely barren and unknown until 2000. Today the Tetulia tea region of Bangladesh's Panchagarh district thrives. Kazi Shahid Ahmed and his son Kazi Anis Ahmed gradually transformed this land with a goal of establishing what is now one of the largest organic tea gardens in the world.
Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea Founder and President Greg Ubert has been a specialty coffee roaster since 1991 when he founded his company in Columbus, Ohio. Crimson Cup operates a chain of retail stores and supplies hundreds of coffee shops across the U.S. and even Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.
"Our cuppers travel the world. Visit indigenous farmers in remote regions. And get to know coffee from the ground up," said Ubert. "What is usually called a buy team, we call a "relationship" team, because it means so much more than a transaction," he said.
"This lush organic estate grows teas and herbs of incredible quality," said Ubert. "We were impressed by their commitment to sustainable operations—protecting the environment and caring for workers and their families," he said in a press release issued at the time. Panchagarh is drained by 16 rivers, the soil is alluvial and old, and washed down from the Himalayas eons ago. Vegetation on the farm is largely indigenous with plantings of neem to ward off insects. Spices used in blends are cultivated among the sections of tea with ginger, peppermint, and lemongrass all organically grown.

Teatulia is an international brand name of Kazi & Kazi Tea (K&K) and one of the few export-grade orthodox tea producers in a country gradually gaining a reputation for quality teas. K&K qualified for Rainforest Alliance Certification, is Fair Trade certified and Teatulia is now a B Corporation. Last month the company, headquartered in Denver, Colo., opened its first London tea bar with a promise of more to follow. The literary themed shop in Covent Garden serves hot and cold tea during the day and tea cocktails after hours, says Teatulia co-founder and CEO Linda Appel Lipsius.
Bangladesh, previously known as East Pakistan, has a long tea history producing cut, tear, and curl (CTC) black tea. New weekly auctions in Chittagong have stimulated interest in the region. Auction prices increased 31 percent since April (through Oct. 9) with teas now averaging Tk 293 ($3.43) per kilogram. The best teas bring Tk 410 ($4.80) per kilogram. The increase in price is driven by domestic demand, improvements in quality, and lower production totals.
Production is about level with last year, according to the Bangladesh Tea Board, which estimated growers produced 79 million kilos of mainly CTC last year. Domestic consumption was estimated at 86 million kilograms in 2017, up from 82 million kilograms in 2016. Imports totaled 1.1 million kilograms in 2017-18, according to the Chattogram Customs House. Little of the country's tea is exported. In 2016-17 exports totaled 1.44 million kilograms, valued at Tk 223 million ($2.6 million) but well down from the $4.2 million exported in 2015-16, a record year, according to the tea board.

BIELLESE SALUMERIA Mangalitsa Soppressata is a sausage of coarsely ground meat from the newly-arrived Mangalitsa Pig, originally from Hungary. It is trimmed from the shoulder, marbled lightly with fat, then seasoned, cured, and dried. The result is a sweet, melt-in-your mouth yet robust cured sausage typical of central Italy. Soppressata is suited to affettato misti, sandwiches, or a late night snack.

So today, you'll have to make do with seeing one of them a bit too late for the season! It's a Vintage Pledge item I made in July: a mashup dress using a vintage bra top pattern and a modern retro skirt from a dress pattern.
This dress started off as a little idea. A 1950 bra top pattern, Simplicity 3250, that I picked up for a song but is apparently going for stupid bucks online! I thought would make a swell cropped top if I just added a midriff piece. I had that idea last year but never got to it. This summer, I took it one step further… why not make it a sundress?
I knew the pattern was likely to sew up too big for me since it was a size larger than I take (along with the majority of my vintage sewing patterns these days, arrrrghh), but since it's in effect making cups with pleats in them, I had no idea where I'd start for grading it down. And a muslin showed me I was right: totally too big. It sat around a couple of weeks while I stewed over it.
When I got up the urge to tackle it, I started small. I chopped off the sides until the side seam was in the right place. And when I realized that most of the excess fabric in the cups was at the top, I took both a horizontal and a vertical dart in the pattern piece. The right way to do it? Probably not, but I figured with gathers at the upper side edges and pleats center front, it would be worth a shot. A second muslin showed it was a lot better. Not perfect, but worth trying on the real deal.
To turn the whole shebang into a proper bodice, I added a midriff piece instead of the band at the bottom of the cups, borrowing from the Mrs. Depew Beach Bustier pattern (which I've sewn up at least twice, but I think only blogged this one), and lengthening it to hit my waist. The back piece of the top I re-drafted to come straighter across my back and give me more coverage, and to meet the new midriff piece.
I was initially planning to use a different fabric and a gathered skirt, but when I rummaged around my stash I found this Amy Butler Chinese lanterns fabric, and I had a spark of genius: sarong dress! Which would be both a) really cool with the halter top, and b) serve as a wearable muslin of the skirt from Butterick B6019 (which I later sewed as the full-fledged sarong dress).
To get the skirt to work precisely with the top, I measured the skirt pieces to see what size would match up with the side seams of my bodice. I cut an 8 for the front pieces and 10 for the back. In the end I had to actually slide the front side seams over an extra 1/4″ to match, so it was more like a 6 in the front. And actually I flipped the front pieces when cutting, so the sarong is backwards. Whoops!
There are a few areas I need to address next time (ummm clearly not this year). The bodice is about 1/2″ at least too long, causing some wrinkling, and I think the front could still stand to be a little smaller. The back is also a bit too big, but only above the waist. When I'm standing still, it's fine, but as soon as I start to move it's more obvious. But the waist is fine, so I'm not sure how I'd address it in the upper back only. A dart coming down from the top… or take an angled wedge out of the CB piece (I guess essentially drafting a dart out in the piece)… not sure. What would you do?
I could just make it shirred, but I did some major work to get the bodice fully lined, which you can't do with shirred panel dresses (at least not a complete lining). But I'm damn proud that I worked it out! It involved some odd construction due to how you add the halter straps as they go into the side seam, and you can't just simply face the whole bodice and flip it to the inside.
You can sort of see below (sorry about the busy ironing board cover!), but basically the lining and bodice are attached at the side seams up to the point where you can see it's open. Weird to wrap your head around but after trial and error I came up with this idea, and it totally worked. Since I made this over a month ago, I'm not even sure how exactly I did it now… I hope I took good notes!
But that bit of pattern trickery allowed me to make a fully lined bodice—huzzah!
And where we got caught in a downpour!
This is so cute! And looks like a pretty complicated pattern hack. I have a really similar fabric to this in orange (it may even be the same in a different colour way), but have avoided using it due to worrying it may look too "60s." This is putting it back into "using this soon" territory.
Aww thank you, high compliment indeed!
Love it! I'm super impressed that you managed a whole dress from just a bra top pattern. Those pleats are fantastic, and I love that you mirrored the pleats in the sarong skirt.
WOW! I love this. Great work building the bodice from the bra top. It looks like it was meant to be a dress! I've started thinking about fall sewing too. I have small piles of flannel, corduroy and wool all waiting to be turned into cool weather clothing.
Ooooo, super awesome! I love the conversion from vintage brassiere to bodice. I've been meaning to try a pattern that looks almost exactly like that, so it's nice to see your insights on construction.
I personally can't wait to see what you make for fall and winter, since I've only just started following you in the warm weather days. Excited!
Your dress looks pretty amazing to me and the fabric is just gorgeous.
I rarely (never) comment though, as a queer vintage femme myself, I just love your blog! Apart from that wonderful stranded cardigan a few years back, this is my favourite piece you've made. I tend to like all your things but this fabric and style are just made for each other! And they really suit you.
What a great dress! I love that fabric.
You have brought summer to my heart (currently, it's cold and wet in Brussels – not a perfect time to play a tourist). The dress will play a key role, I'm sure, in your tiki-parties next year. Right?
Splendidly pretty pattern. I just love that colour palette. It's very chic and fun!
Have a great first weekend of fall, dear lady!
Thanks, Jessica! Fall hasn't quite fully settled in to stay yet here (in the evenings yes, but we've had some pretty warm days) but we're on the cusp!
This is an absolutely fantastic dress and looks simply stunning on you. Congratulations!
What a fun dress! It's so sassy and cute! And wow, what a challenging project! You really created this look yourself! Awesome job!
I love it! The fabric, the bodice, the front pleats on the skirt, all of it! You totally lost me on how you got to the end product though!
What a lovely dress! 🙂 The fabric is fab and fit is great!


Remember the manwich . . . when a sandwich was a sandwich, but a manwich was a meal? Enter panini—the new manwich. Panini (pronounced pah-NEE-nee) means "little breads," but these toasted Italian sandwiches pack B-I-G flavor.
Originating in Italy as a humble cafe snack, they have crossed the Atlantic to become a complete and easy light meal worthy of dinner. Something about crisped bread with melted oozy fillings elevates the sandwich to a meal.
You can put just about anything on a panini, but hearty breads and pungent fillings work best. Cheese is a must—it melts and holds the other fillings together. You may also want to invest in a panini maker. We're not big on kitchen gadgets, but we fell in love with the panini grill, whose pressing action makes the sandwich a unified, yummy package–and the fillings stay in, no matter how full you stuff the sandwich.
As most paninni presses are nonsitck, you can skip the oil or butter, although brushing a touch of oil makes them extra crispy. Best yet, you can buy a panini maker almost anywhere.


Reports that Obama "intends to use $5 billion to prod local officials to close failing schools and reopen them with new teachers and principals," have generated well-deserved criticism on several fronts.
Given the recent discussion in media outlets on the tenth anniversary of the Columbine, it seems useful to reprint my review of Julie Webber's (2003) volume Failure to Hold: The Politics of School Violence (Rowman & Littlefield).
Governing by Carrots and Sticks: Excerpts from U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan "If folks are playing shell games, if folks are operating in bad faith, it puts their second chance at billions of dollars in jeopardy," he said.
