Fighting the Last War
It's been said many times that generals always prepare to fight the last war.
This makes sense when you think about it. "Last war" is a real, tangible thing with knowable problems and knowable achievements. "Next war" is uncertain, filled with unforeseen problems and unassessable risks.
Notably, the "preparing to fight the last war" phenomenon is particularly pronounced on the winning side. After all, "we" won doing things a certain way … why change? All one has to be is "better" at "last war" and you will win "next war" even more easily.
Losers, by contrast, often think creatively about "next war." They, after all, did not fare well in "last war," and so need to change the terms of engagement if they have much chance of winning "next war."
The classic example of this phenomenon can be found in the lead up to the German invasion of France in 1940. Between 1920 and 1940 French military leaders constructed elaborate, complex and powerful defenses against what they perceived would be "next war" against Germany. However, those leaders decided that "next war" (WWII), would be a carbon copy of "last war" (WWI). The Germans, however, had a different idea, and crushed France fairly easily despite France's profoundly powerful military.
Put another way, France prepared to fight a war its enemy decided not to fight, but failed to prepare for a war its enemy actually chose to fight.
It seems clear that the contemporary Republican Party, like the French between WWI and WWII, has gotten itself stuck in "last war."
The party has been remarkably successful for the last 30 years in articulating a message grounded on two core principles: lower taxes (as a proxy for smaller government/self-reliance), and the culture war (moralistic claims that some ways of life were wrong or lesser, and that "good" Americans could only live in some ways). However, the tax claim is falling under its own weight: it's one thing to lower taxes when they're high, but quite another to lower them when they're low and when government is out of money. Likewise, the culture war is failing: people are less worried about religiosity and gay marriage and marijuana smoking, to name a few examples, than they used to be.
But what was the very first bill introduced into the House of Representatives this session? Michelle Bachmann's bill to repeal Obamacare—a version of a bill that passed the House 33 times in the last session of Congress before going precisely nowhere. Which is where this bill is going.
Talk about fighting "last war." I imagine the birthers and the socialisters and the fascist state worriers about gun control leading to the loss of all human freedom are just waiting their turn to ply their craft on the political stage. (Oops: believers in the gun control equals the end of freedom are already on stage, I see.) Meanwhile, in two presidential elections in a row the electorate has been younger and more diverse than the Republican election model can cope with.
The question is: where is the Republican Party going? Having lost "last war" will they rethink what it takes to win and change the grounds of engagement? Or will they stand at their Maginot Line (look it up!) and keep insisting that the war has to be fought on their terms, even as their opponents sweep to victory after victory?
The future of the Republican Party hangs in the balance of the answer to that question.

The Right Wing Crazy Train
So for some reason or another I got to thinking about the chain of wackadoo claims conservatives/radicals have made about Democrats/Progressives over the last 20+ years. Some highlights:
- Bill Clinton had his aide Vince Foster killed to cover up the Whitewater Real Estate "scandal" from his Arkansas days.
- Bill Clinton had the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City destroyed to cover up the Whitewater "scandal" — some of the FBI agents killed in OK City were alleged to have been knowledgable about the "scandal." Alternatively, the bombing was alleged to have been done to cover up the Clinton administration's mistakes in Waco, TX, dealing with the Branch Davidians. (There were real mistakes in this confrontation, by the way, which is not an endorsement of this claim.)
- The Clinton administration had purchased "black helicopters" they were using to surveil Westerners in preparation for placing them in UN-run internment camps. (Google the name "Helen Chenoweth." She was a Congresswoman from Idaho who made Michele Bachmann look like a voice of reason and consideration.)
- During the Clinton Administration, NRA leader Wayne LaPierre described federal agents as "jack booted thugs" (a reference to Nazi SS storm troopers) for enforcing the Brady Bill. Talk show host and former Nixon attorney G. Gordon Liddy, who went to prison for his part in the Watergate scandal, urged his listeners to "aim high" if they were raided by federal agents since—and I am not making this up—federal agents wore body armor, and shots to the body wouldn't be effective. All of this, of, course, was in the midst of the rise of the militia movement, an incipient armed rebellion against the US government centered in Montana and Idaho and built off the dregs of the survivalist and white supremacist movements.
Skipping forward a few years, we get …
- Claims during the 2008 campaign that Obama was the literal Biblical antichrist.
- The 2008 election was stolen by ACORN.
- Claims that having schoolchildren watch an Obama speech about the importance of education was political indoctrination into the Obama cult of personality.
- Birtherism. 'Nuff said.
- Muslimism. 'Nuff said.
- The bailout of the auto industry meant the socialization of the American economy. Which is already a lot socialized. And the auto industry is basically on its own again.
- Obamacare = socialism, despite the fact that it's based on private insurance and was mostly a windfall for private, for-profit health insurance providers.
- Signing the UN Treaty on the rights of disabled persons would let the UN set rules for American parents in raising their children.
- The 2012 election was stolen by ACORN … which hasn't existed for several years.
- Any form of gun control is the first step in creating a fascist state under the communist fascist Kenyan Muslim antichrist Obama.
And before anyone starts with the "the Democrats demonized Bush II" too nonsense, let me concede that lots of Democrats accused/implied that Bush had become president through illegitimate means (e.g., a crony Supreme Court). Lots thought he was a terrible president for lots of reasons (Politicalprof among them). But you can show me nothing like this list from Democrats aimed at Republicans, particularly from elected, actual government officials or party leaders. And please note that in my list I cheated in the REPUBLICANS' favor: I didn't post anything from the assbags Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage and their ilk. Nothing, despite the millions of people they have in their daily radio audiences (especially Limbaugh).
So forgive me when I roundly mock the next right wing wackadoo who screams the sky is falling. Really: reason, truth, facts, evidence, science … none of these work. Outright mockery is about all we have left to address these loons.
It's only reasonable.

Of Rights and Guns
Alas, too much of our discussion of gun rights these days starts and ends from a primitive understanding of the relationship between the Constitution's statements about our rights and the real-world applications of those rights.
Put simply, the Constitution is almost always direct and simple. Amendment 1, for example, says "Congress shall make no law" limiting speech, or imposing religion, or interfering with your practice of religion, or limiting the press. What could be clearer? "No law" means "NO LAW," right?
But practice is always murkier. Thus, while I have freedom of speech, we all know I can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater (when no fire is present). Likewise, if I oppose scientific medicine on religious grounds, I have the religious freedom to refuse to go to the doctor. However, the law says I have to take my son to the doctor regardless of my beliefs. And of course I have the right to assemble peaceably to petition government for redress of grievances, but I can't block traffic just because I want to. No right is absolute and inviolable regardless of circumstance or context.
But not, according to the gun nuts, the second amendment. The gun wackos quote the second amendment—which has a limiting amendatory preface that the first amendment lacks—as if it is gospel. No limitation of any kind can be accepted … because the Constitution says so! The Second Amendment, then, is special, different: the one that is not subject to any kind of real world analysis or compromise.
It's analytically primitive twaddle, but it drives our discourse about guns in America. We are the worse for it.

Pulling Up the Ladder Behind You
So there is a phenomenon in American political and social life that seems to me to need to at least be acknowledged: our relentless urge to pull the ladder up after ourselves.
The ladder, of course, is the ladder of opportunity.
See, the thing is that while we often refuse to acknowledge this, all of us stand on others' shoulders as we make progress in life. The accomplishments of medicine, the arts, and science, for example, all frame the context in which we live our lives and make our way. I, for one, am utterly blessed to have been born in an era where science can make good and complex eyeglasses: my eyes are lousy, and whatever successes I have had have been in part derived from the fact that I have had good glasses since I was six years old. Had I been born a century ago, my life would be lousy. But I wasn't, and it isn't.
In some sense, then, my basically successful life has been utterly dependent on other people's work—the work that created the glasses that I have used to see my path to some kind of success.
Viewed this way, the plain truth is that all of us benefit from others' accomplishments. Like antibiotics? Safe drinking water? Electric light (and batteries)? Whatever uses you make of these things, someone else had to make them before you could benefit from them. And those people, in turn, built off others' accomplishments. it's just how the world works.
Unfortunately, it is all too easy to forget the socially-connected nature of our lives. It is all too easy to think only of our own — very real — accomplishments, and to imagine our successes are entirely of our own making.
It is likewise easy to imagine that others' failures are entirely the result of their own flaws and fumbles.
We can see these attitudes in lots of parts of political and social life. To wit:
- Recent immigrants are often the brunt of jokes and disrespect from more established immigrant groups.
- People with jobs often perceive that any form of welfare is little more than coddling the poor—even when, in many cases, the employed have enjoyed government support in the past (like public education, tax breaks for home ownership and, in Mitt Romney's father's case, actual welfare when George Romney's family moved back from Mexico when George was a child).
- There are retirement towns in Arizona that have been exempted from paying that portion of local property taxes that goes to support local schools—an exemption granted on the theory that the retirees' children didn't go to school in Arizona, so they shouldn't have to pay for the educations of current Arizona children.
All of this—and much more—is akin to pulling up the ladder behind you as you climb into a tree house: you got yours, so screw everyone else. Such selfishness is perhaps inevitable given that people seem to imagine our successes as totally ours and thus attribute others' failings to their personal flaws, but in the end this kind of selfishness is self-defeating: the only way any of us can hope to succeed is to make sure that lots of people have lots of opportunities to succeed, even as we recognize that not everyone will.
An America with strong ladders that can hold a lot of people, even those who sometimes fall off, will be a better America than one where the ladders are reserved to the people with tree houses.

Seriously, Bill O'Reilly?
So Bill O'Reilly has decided that the "lesson" of Hurricane Sandy is that people should learn to be self-reliant.
His reason? Well, he had a generator in his home. When the hurricane hit Long Island, where he lives, he had a plan. And when the generator didn't work, well, he had relationships with repairmen who came to fix his generator. He plans to pay them for their work.
Meanwhile, those silly government-dependent people suffered in NYC. And guess what? The government didn't save them the exact moment their lives got messed up. So be self-reliant like Bill, and all will be well.
Alas, I am not making this twaddle up. Bill O believes himself to be "independent" and "prepared" because HE CALLED OTHER PEOPLE TO FIX HIS GENERATOR. People, I presume, who were not overwhelmed with work since the hurricane didn't knock out other peoples' generators … or people O'Reilly bribed to come to his house first by paying them a bonus from his millions and millions and dollars. Bill's "plan" was to use his wealth to be first in line with the generator fixer people. So he is "self-reliant."
Even if this is a reasonable definition of self-reliance (and it isn't), let me ask you this, Bill: do you think those apartments and condos in NYC, even those of the uber-wealthy, are going to be allowed to have individual generators in their units? Much less the middle class and the poor? The notion that millions of people living in NYC can live the way you live on your baronial Long Island estate is simply absurd—even if they had your money. And if you don't have a car or a way to get to a friend's house when a storm approached, you're pretty well stuck—even when flooding destroys the backup generator in your building's basement.
It's not about self-reliance. It's about infrastructure.
So yes, everyone needs a disaster plan. (My own is unfortunately woeful, but I at least know where to go in a tornado should one hit.) But the experience of a rich guy who lives on an estate on Long Island might not be the best model for teaching others how to deal with a natural disaster.
Next time, think about what you're saying before you write it down.

The Divide
While running for President in 1980, Ronald Reagan famously quipped, "I've always felt the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.'"
As funny — and as effective — as these lines were in 1980, they have come to define the profound divide the exists in American politics today. Lots of people — call them conservatives, or tea partiers, or even skeptical pragmatists — think Reagan got it absolutely right. It isn't hard, after all, to come up with a long list of government abuses and failures ranging from Iraq to Solyndra to No Child Left Behind to pepper-spraying students at the University of California-Davis … and many, many more.
For such people, the prospect of Obamacare is a sincere nightmare: now, the same people who brought you the debacle in Vietnam and the poverty barns of mega-housing projects like Chicago's (now destroyed) Cabrini Green, want to "help you stay healthy" — and all for just a few dollars, too.
Others — call them liberals, or progressives, or hopeful pragmatists — find Reagan's comments absurd. After all, it's not like other institutions of social and political life have covered themselves in glory when it comes to matters of human freedom: corporations regularly cheat, steal and lie, often with deadly effects for the people who use their products; likewise, many private businesses reflected and reinforced the racial, gender, sexual orientation and other biases of their times. Such bias was buttressed by state governments that were particularly vicious towards the civil rights of many of their (minority) residents.
Those people who see the failures of the private sector and/or state governments to defend or expand freedom and liberty look to the federal government to do what no other agency of social and political life can: counter the power of the corporate, local and state-level actors who promote and practice discrimination, exclusion and the manipulation of power against the dignity of the individual.
Which story one tells defines one's politics. Obamacare, economic stimulus, regulation of Wall Street, whatever: do you think the federal government helps or hurts? The answer to that question matters.
Welcome to the divide that cleaves contemporary American politics.

Hoping For Third
So a few days ago jasencomstock asked me a question to the effect of, "why do so many people like third parties so much"?
The context of his question derived from a series of queries I answered about the prospects of a third party emerging in the United States any time soon. In each case I noted I did not think a credible third party was going to arise in the near future, and explained why. But people kept asking.
So I kept thinking. Not about third parties—I stand by my analysis of why third parties aren't on the way in. You can see those posts here, here and here. Rather, I kept thinking about the question of why so many people — NY Times columnist Thomas Friedman is perhaps the most famous of them all — want a third party so badly.
Two reasons pop out. First is simple political fantasy. People wish to believe that in a profoundly divided electorate, where large percentages of the population disagree about both WHAT is wrong and HOW to fix it, that someone somewhere has a magic formula that can bridge all the complexity and just make American politics work. The problem with American political life, then, isn't structural, the result of people pursuing what they understand is their self interest at all costs. Instead, it's technical: if only "they" would stop dividing us, we would all come together and do the right thing for America.
The second is laziness. What I mean by this is that hoping for a third party is in some ways the political equivalent of punting on third down: rather than get down and fight, one declares one's prospects hopeless and waits for a new chance to play. Notably, almost no one calling for a new team actually wants to go to the trouble of creating it … they just want it to appear so they can join it. Or at least like its Facebook page.
The hard truth is that politics in democracies almost always reflect the social and political character of the nation being governed. We are a divided nation. We have political institutions that were designed from their inception to be inefficient and mostly ineffective. We have lost a willingness to compromise and to imagine a tomorrow that is worth shared sacrifice today. The combination is brutal. And no third party is going to make it all go away.

Republicans and "Smaller" Government
One constantly hears that Republicans are the party of small government while Democrats are the party of big government. And, of course, the person making this claim usually makes it clear that small government is good and big government is bad.
Except, of course, this characterization of the two parties' positions on government is factual twaddle.
Think about it this way: some parts of government can be termed the "helping people" parts of government (at least in intent). This part of government includes things like education, welfare, healthcare, food and drug inspections, parks, and even roads and bridges and other infrastructure. The goal—not always achieved—is to give people the tools they need to achieve their ambitions in life.
Another part of government might be termed the "hurting people" part of government. This part of government would include the military, the criminal justice system, fines and taxes and the like. It also includes punishing what some people see as immoral behavior. Note that I don't think all of this is "bad." Wars happen, after all, so we do need some kind of a military, and I am quite happy a lot of people who are in prison are there. It's just that these parts of government are engaged in negative actions to shape or change behavior, rather than attempting to equip people as they build their lives.
So think about the difference in the parties this way: in general, Democrats want the "helping parts" of government to be bigger, and the "hurting people" parts of government to be smaller. (Unless, of course, they want BOTH to be bigger.) Republicans want the "helping people" parts of government to be smaller, and the "hurting people" parts of government to be bigger.
Note that each has elaborate ideological justifications for these stands. But both are happy with substantial governments. They just differ on how big each part should be.
Libertarians, of course, think both should be as small as possible. Which is why Ron Paul won't win the Republican Party nomination for President.

On Natural and Unnatural Politicians
Imagine two groups of politicians. Group A contains Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George Bush and Barack Obama. Group B contains George H.W. Bush, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Mitt Romney.
I want to suggest that these seemingly incongruous groupings make sense, at least on one variable.
Group A contains what we can term "natural" politicians. They are comfortable, easy, seemingly authentic. They amaze with their ability to interact with people they don't know; they seem endlessly capable of asking strangers for votes and for money, all while seeming "real." They like being on camera and can connect to both TV and local audiences in a wink.
Group B, in contrast, holds the "unnatural" politicians. They are smart, talented, capable and dedicated to public service. They are also stiff and awkward among groups of strangers. The rhythms of campaigning for office are forced on them. Television cameras are enemies. They are, somehow, inauthentic.
This thought comes to mind in light of Mitt Romney's "I don't care about the poor who have a safety net" comment, although it was forming during the critique of his "I like to fire people" statement a few weeks ago.
Don't get me wrong: Romney's statement was clearly stupid. Anyone who thinks the US safety net is very strong has a far too rosy understanding of the ability of the safety "net" to help people. We don't have a "net" so much as a wet paper towel that purports to be able to stop a dropped bowling ball from hitting the ground.
However, I don't think Romney's latest comment, any more than his comment about firing people, was cruel. He, like most Americans, lives with the honest sense that the American safety net is real and meaningful. Similarly, he, like most Americans (including, I should add, Politicalprof) likes to have choices in vendors to provide various goods and services. (There are stores I refuse to patronize, for example, because I thought I was treated badly there—and because I have a choice of other stores to go to.) While he's wrong on the safety net (as are most Americans) and he's foolish for believing that you'll get any more choice in insurance companies than you get in cable companies, the sentiments he expressed are common and popular in the United States.
But god did he express his point badly. In both cases—or, for that matter, with his $10,000 bet offer with Rick Perry during a debate—he came across as forced, insensitive, thoughtless … in a word, unnatural.
The bad news for Mitt Romney is that there is no magic pill one can take, no amount of consulting one can endure that can remake an unnatural politician into a natural one. (To the degree Politicalprof does politics on his own campus he is definitely in the "unnatural" camp, so he knows of what he speaks.) The good news is that the US does hire unnatural politicians as President. The key is to be seen to have answers that the so-called "natural" politicians don't.
So stop trying to be casual and fun, Mitt. Be your inner nerd. Really: it's only natural.

A Republic, if you can keep it.
Benjamin Franklin, to a questioner after being asked what kind of government had been created in Independence Hall in the summer of 1787.
Pretty much everything I think about politics derives from that last clause: "if you can keep it." Politicians can be demagogic, thoughtless and stupid. Media can be money-chasing sensationalists only truly worried about the second-to-second ratings their stories get online. Corporations can be self-interested and fantasize that the aggregation of endless self-interested pursuits will magically emerge as the community's interest.
But citizens have to be smart. Citizens have to recognize what forces are trying to strip their power away for selfish ends. Citizens have to care.
There is no "them" who has to protect democracy for the citizenry. We have to do it for ourselves.

Cezar 1998 - January 9th 2014
Yorkshire Wildlife Park announces with deep sadness today that Cezar, one of the famous lions rescued from Romania, has died.
Cezar had been in declining health for several months with increasing joint and mobility problems related to age and potentially to his hard life in Romania before he was rescued by YWP.
The decision was taken today by a team of vets in conjunction with the Directors, animal staff and the Park's Ethics Committee at the Park to put Cezar to sleep on welfare grounds.
It was the plight of Cezar in particular and his family who were living in appalling conditions in run down Oradea Zoo that was highlighted in 2009 – 2010.
His story moved thousands of people to donate over £150,000 to bring Cezar and 12 other lions back to the purpose built Lion Country at Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
The 13 lions arrived at the Park in 2010 and were slowly rehabilitated into their new home under much veterinary care and careful husbandry by Park staff.
The lions regained their health and strength and enjoyed life in Lion Country – and hundreds of thousands of people have been to see them. Cezar enjoyed life with his mate Allis and his sons Ares and Adel, until recently when his health started to affect his quality of life.
There are now 11 Lions in Lion Country: Johnny Junior and his pride Carla, Julie, Crystal and Frieda, Allis and her two sons Ares and Adel and Maria and her two sons Dani and Simba. The Park lost its oldest resident Johnny Senior last year who died aged 30.
The Directors of Yorkshire Wildlife Park would like to thank the veterinary teams from Portland House Veterinary Group from Retford and the International Zoo Veterinary Group who have worked and supported staff to help improve the health of Cezar and the other lions since their arrival and particularly over the past few difficult days.
The Park would also like to thank the dedicated staff team who have loved and cared for Cezar since his arrival and who today grieve the loss of one who was a favourite at the Park for staff and visitors alike.

Strong offerings in the arts encourage students to develop their individual talents. Through our athletic program, girls learn the value of resilience, fitness, teamwork, and pride. In the classroom, on the playing field, in the studio, and on the stage, each girl has the opportunity to acquire the confidence, leadership, and sense of responsibility she needs to be a thoughtful and constructive contributor to society.We believe that academic excellence begins with the ability to think logically, independently, and imaginatively. A delight in ideas, a sense of curiosity and humor, and a commitment to honoring the dignity of others are among Baldwin's highest values. We strive to foster an awareness of self and recognition of other perspectives as well as the knowledge and technical skills each girl will need to meet the challenges of our widening and fast-changing world. The Baldwin community has a long history of being open to differences, and as we continue to grow in diversity, it is our hope that our students approach life with the principles of justice, fairness, and equity foremost in their minds and hearts.Ultimately, Baldwin aspires to cultivate in its students the desire to remain learners throughout their lives, the compassion to extend themselves to others, and the strength of character to act on their beliefs.Learn more: Fast Facts

EXCLUSIVE: Kallis makes shock revelation
Quick Single: Warner fined by ICC
South African cricket has come a long way with the art of reverse swing.
At the beginning of my career we didn't have a clue. Then we spent years and years on the back foot, suffering at the hands of those bowlers who could perfect it.
There is no short cut. It takes hundreds of hours of experimentation and practise to prepare a ball for reverse swing and it takes almost as many hours to shine it.
The process begins with the rough side, though, and the Proteas have to thank David Warner for the help he gave them with it.
Warner hit the first ball of the 21st over from JP Duminy for six and it landed flush on a concrete slab (watch video below at 43-second mark).
Dale (Steyn) told me that it landed right in the middle of the 'rough' side of the ball and made quite a mess of it. It was the perfect start to preparing the ball for reverse swing and it was happening as early as the 35th over as a result.
One end of the square was also very abrasive and the damage done to the ball quickly deteriorated in those conditions.
There is nothing illegal involved. It is impossible to do anything underhanded without being caught, either by the television cameras or the umpires who check the ball on a regular basis.
Everybody in the team needs to understand how to handle the ball and what the objective is, but you still need a bit of luck – and David provided it. On some days it simply doesn't work at all and the ball never swings an inch.
There's nobody better in the world at the moment to exploit reverse swing than Dale. Following on from Mitchell Johnson's brilliant display at Centurion, it was great to see the world's number one hitting back in such an emphatic way. He burst the game open when most people had been prematurely predicting a draw from the second day!
Everybody loves an underdog and it's always good to see the less familiar names in a team do well, but it's also fantastic when the marquee players rise to the challenge. There was a lot of hype and expectation around Mitch and Dale and they have brought fans out in goose bumps with their speed and skill.
Australia have the memories of 21-9 and 47 all out to contend with as we move to Newlands for the decider. I'm sure Michael Clarke will say it's 'history' now, but I know I'd be thinking about it if the roles were reversed.
It's going to be a massive occasion, one of the biggest Test matches in this country for over 20 years. There will be moments when the event threatens to get the better of players but I'm sure they will all respond well and cope with the expectation.
I'm not going to make a call on the outcome. If South Africa are favourites because of home ground advantage, then it's probably no more than 51-49. These are the two best teams in the world at the moment and they will stand toe-to-toe for five days to find a winner. It doesn't get much better than that.
Just as Hashim Amla and JP Duminy came good with hundreds at St.George's Park , there are a number of excellent cricketers in the Australian side who could come right at any moment. Good players may lose form from time to time, but they do not become bad players.
Michael Clarke hasn't reached 25 in his last five matches. I find that more of a worry than a comfort. It makes me believe is due – soon. Ryan Harris and Peter Siddle haven't had their best couple of Test matches, but they have not become poor bowlers.
At the same time, South Africa were, believe it or not, a long way off their best in PE. They can get better with bat and ball but certainly in the field where they dropped at least five catches. I think Graeme might be hoping for a bit more form with the DRS as well!
A strong south-easter has been blowing which means the pitch will be dry and may take spin. But there is always some assistance for the seamers in the mornings at Newlands while the afternoons on the second, third and even fourth afternoons can be batting paradise. Something for everyone. And a sell-out crowd to enjoy it.

I sure hope all this set-up isn't boring, but it's pretty necessary.
Those of you who don't pay attention to the Deleted Scenes blog might check out the latest post, about the revised Chapter 1–5 eBooks, which are now available at the Multiplex Store, and the Chapter 6 eBook, which is now available for pre-order. (It will be finished within a month, for certain, hopefully in the next few weeks.)
I go into this in a little more depth in the blog post, but supporting the Chapter eBooks is the single best way to help me get the bonus comics for the Book 2 print collection finished — and they're only $1.49! If you want Book 2 to see the light of day, think of each of these Chapter eBooks as a mini-Kickstarter. This is the best way — right now — to support the production of the next book.
Don't forget that you can always commission illustrations (hand-drawn or vector) through the Multiplex Store, too!
Why wait until I do a Kickstarter project, when you can get pretty much all the same "rewards" already — and for less money?!

Review: Coherence (2013)
Saturday, October 4, 2014
Written and directed by James Ward Byrkit.
Starring Emily Foxler, Hugo Armstrong, Nicholas Brendon, Elizabeth Gracen, Lauren Maher, Alex Manugian, Lorene Scafaria, and Maury Sterling.
A new Patreon backer at the $50 level opted out of the usual reward of a plug in the "Become a Multiplex Patron" box (above, on the website), asking instead for me to plug the 2013 indie science fiction filmCoherence (with which he is not affiliated). I was happy to oblige, and so "A fan of Coherence" — a.k.a. The Patron, as I'll refer to him from here out — is, for the duration of his patronage, among Multiplex's supporters. (And, yes, I will review just about any movie a $50 backer asks me to.)
What really got my interest in the film (aside from being asked very nicely to see it) was that The Patron compared it to Shane Carruth's Primer, one of the best no-budget sci-fi movies ever made. I can definitely see the comparison: both are decidedly low-budget films with small casts and a science-fictiony premise. I feel like seeing the film fairly blind is probably the best, so I won't summarize the plot beyond the premise of eight friends having a dinner party when a comet passes over and Strange Things Happen, but I don't think I'm quite as enthusiastic as The Patron.
Unfortunately, the "go in as blind as you can" suggestion means I feel like I need to be pretty vague. Some clunky (and largely unnecessary) exposition gets spat out early on, which tried my patience a bit, but it gets fun as the plot gets rolling. And the plot is definitely the star of the film, not the largely forgettable cast of affluent, Southern California white people or the dialogue, which often feels improvised (in that it neither pushes the story forward nor reveals character, as good dialogue ought to).
Despite some genuinely terrifically creepy or suspenseful moments in the film, a handful of contrived plot points hold it back from being much more than a fun genre flick for me, but I found myself wondering what would happen next — almost up to the very end. A late turn in the film got more of an eye-roll from me than the shock that I think it was supposed register. As always, your mileage may vary, but the film's merits make it well worth a viewing, particularly for science fiction fans suffering from blockbuster fatigue.
Here's the trailer! If it piques your interest, please do check it out. It's available for rent from Amazon Instant Video or for purchase from its official website, among other places. (I never recommend reading YouTube comments, but definitely on't read the comments if you want to stay away from spoilers.)

The 2014 NFL Draft can not get here fast enough. Yes, I'm a writer, but I'm also a very proud member of Cowboy Nation. I'm ready to see articles based on facts and numbers. The speculation about the Cowboys first round draft pick being Johnny Manziel is at an all time high. Manziel becoming a Cowboy with the 16th pick will not happen. Thanks to the power of search engines, I just gained 250,000 readers by using Manziel, Cowboys, 16th pick, and NFL Draft in this paragraph. From an insider, it's media manipulation, so don't believe the hype!
I've been blasted for reporting that this has been the Cowboys best off-season ever (Click Here for Article). Since I wrote that article, it has only gotten better. They resigned 30 year old Anthony Spencer. He's not glad to be back. The Cowboys were his only option following microfracture knee surgery and being 30, other teams took a look, kicked the tires and passed. This is how the guy we made a franchise player in 2012 and 2013 goes from earning a combined 19.4 million to a base salary of 1.25 million with incentives based on sacks and health.
Our owner Jerry Jones doesn't get much credit for anything except not being Donald Sterling (That's another 125,000 readers). I've seen your comments – Don't use Jerry Jones, logic and draft in the same sentence, etc. etc. This is in addition to your cries that we need a new owner and GM. This off-season we've signed four defensive linemen and a former first round draft pick as a backup quarterback. All of the defensive line signings have the approval of Rod Marinelli and provide much needed quality depth at affordable prices. We still have the potential to add more talent to the defensive line with 11 draft picks. Smart moves have been made this off-season and since they don't have no awards for that (trophies), I tip my cap to the Cowboys front office.
I don't predict us having a bad draft. If you've followed the inner workings of the Cowboys, you know that Will McClay has been doing an excellent job in finding and evaluating players. McClay is the assistant director of player personnel and he's putting together our draft board. Be patient. I expect few surprises with McClay orchestrating the show.
All of the focus on defense has gotten Cowboy Nation to forget the addition of Scott Linehan to the coaching staff. I'm sure he'll get a toy or two in this years draft. Jerry Jones may have the final word, but like a wise man, he listens to his advisors and coaches. There are respected football guys in the room – Marinelli, Linehan, Kiffin, Callahan. I'm sure there will be more positive vibes among Cowboy Nation after this draft.
It'll help to silence the unfaithful in Cowboy Nation that are claiming another 8 – 8 season or worse. Right now, our season record is just based on the team name of our opponent. We could be dramatically better in multiple positions after the NFL draft. The phrase – "On any given Sunday you're gonna win or you're gonna lose." – exists for a reason. Can we finalize a team and actually take the field before you "realistic" fans predict how awful we'll be?

The federal government does not release a budget number for classified IT spending, but the president's annual request releases one figure for overall defense related IT, while another figure confined to non-classified projects is reported in the federal IT Dashboard.
The distinction is explained in a note in the Information Technology section of the Analytical Perspectives budget document released March 10, which reads, "Defense IT spending includes estimates for IT investments for which details are classified, and not reflected on the IT Dashboard."
By that measure, President Barack Obama is requesting about $6.15 billion in classified IT spending for fiscal 2015, based on the $35.37 billion request for defense IT and the $29.22 billion in projects set to be reported on the federal IT Dashboard, when the Defense Department releases its Exhibit 53 document, toting up non-classified IT spending, expected in early April. (Currently, the Exhibit 53 document is available for the combined civilian agencies.)
The $6.15 billion request is up about 14 percent from the $5.4 billion revealed in the fiscal 2014 budget. Details on planned IT spending are thin. The request "expands the use of common, secure, shared IT capabilities and services through the integrated clooud hosting environment, continues support for the protection of the critical networks that faciliate information sharing and operational requirements, and accelerates various information protection and access control mechanisms," according to the unclassified version of the National Intelligence Program budget for 2015. Overall the adminstration is seeking $45.6 billion for intelligence agencies.
The "unofficial official" number does not fully describe the classified IT spend, for a few reasons. The $79 billion the administration identifies as federal IT in its 2015 budget request may not include research and development, space exploration and computer componets of weapons systems -- classified or unclassified. Additionally, highly detailed fiscal 2013 budget documents leaked by former intelligence community contractor Edward Snowden revealed that budgets for classified IT systems hovered around $8 billion -- far higher than the figure that could be deduced from comparing the budget request and the IT dashboard.
The Snowden documents indicated enterprise IT spending at intelligence agencies was $4.7 billion in fiscal 2013 -- more than the overall IT spends the reported by the Department of Veterans Affairs, NASA, and the Justice Department.

Where did this attitude come from with Mike Tannenbaum? This "good enough" attitude? Don't we want the Jets to be better than "good enough? To his credit, Mike Tannenbaum did a good job early in his tenure as the GM. A lot of people want to credit moves to Eric Mangini, but I am not going to do that today. If we are going to give him grief for poor moves that have happened on his watch, he deserves credit for the good ones. And there have been good ones. Mike did draft Darrelle Revis, Nick Mangold, and D'Brickashaw Ferguson, among others. His reign has not been all bad.
But man, things turn South quickly. The last few years have not been kind to Mike Tannenbaum. Since the 2010 season, talent has left this team, as will happen in a league with a hard salary cap. The problem is that the talent has not been replaced. Neither the talent, nor the depth, on this team has improved vastly over the last two seasons, especially on offense. Despite the fact that the Jets want to be a ground and pound football team, you need to be able to score. This is not an NFL that you are going to have low scoring games in too often. A team has to be able to score points to win football games in the 21st century NFL. The Jets have not been equipped with enough weapons to score points, and that was brought out on Thursday night. In the end, talent wins the day. Thursday night showed how far and away, the Patriots roster is better than the Jets roster. Talent wins the day.
The Jets are loyal, sometimes to a fault. On defense, the Jets are loyal to aging players such as Bart Scott and Calvin Pace, and in some respects it is hindering the development of younger players. The Jets are loyal, and they are loyal to this general manager. Rex Ryan obviously has not had a great season, but he is doing what he can with the hand he has been dealt. He has not been dealt a great roster, and that is on the general manager, he can only do what he can.
Thursday night should have given Woody Johnson a huge wake-up call to this unfortunate set of facts. He needs to remove Mike Tannenbaum from his post, and either fire him, or demote him back to salary cap guru. The Jets need a talented personnel person to make the decisions, and give Rex Ryan more say in personnel. Change needs to come.
If no change comes, Woody Johnson will prove my previously mentioned opinion to be correct. That would be unfortunate.

When will the NFL lockout end? I honestly have no idea but seatgeek is running a contest in which they ask football bloggers to make a guess with $200 in free tickets on the line.
Today is day number 115 of the lockout and while report of optimism have surfaced, challenges remain in coming to a resolution. I want to believe that the progress made over the past couple weeks will lead to a resolution before the league will need to think about widespread changes to their 2011 season calendar. It has been widely speculated that July 15 marks the date at which the start of training camp and preseason games could be at risk so I will choose July 14 as the date a resolution is reached to end the lockout at 124 days.

I'm on my way to DC for the annual bike summit, where this year we get to beg and plead for congress to not eliminate all bike & pedestrian funding, which means a week off the bike. Yuck. But it also means Gate 89. The last gate at the end of SFOs long United pier. My flight was originally scheduled out of Gate 73, adjacent to security. Somehow, United keeps track of me and makes sure I get my exercise at the airport. Flying first to Newark, aboard a "real" United plane not-yet-painted with the "deathstar" logo of the recent merger with Continental. Then a puddle jumper to DC and metro ride to my hotel in Bethesda. Why Bethesda and not DC? About 150 dollar bills per night difference, that's why! For that I can handle a 16 minute Metro ride into downtown DC. Save that money for bike stuff. :-) Meantime watching a steady stream of passengers from first class using our bathroom in coach. Why is it a "security issue" for coach passengers to use their bathroom but they can use ours? 3499 2012-03-19 19:31:21 2012-03-20 02:31:21

Bday dinner with my parents - lowww key
I'm a big foodie and don't mind splurging once in a while on a 5 star meal.
My parents, on the other end, know what good food is about but don't like to pay more than $20 on a main.
My dad pays too much attention to the "bang for the buck" concept, i.e. he's not into paying $13 for one scallopt like at Club Chasse & Pêche ;-) which is too bad I think, he doesn't know what he's missing.
It's my birthday dinner and they want to take me out, I'd like to have a very nice meal but the prices have to ba fair, my mom's into anyhting but my dad is more of a carnivorous.
They do not like fancy settings or anything intimidating or superficial. Just honest food, and a relaxed/cozy ambiance.
Any suggestions?.... Right now I cannot think of anything.
thank you so much.
You're probably going to laugh and/or make a dismissive snorting sound, but seriously, if you have never been to Chalet BBQ, it's like trip waaaay back in time, and the chicken is very, very good. It certainly meets the relaxed/cozy/fair criteria.
Not much in the way of selection beyond white or dark meat, but it's really fun to see a very low key neighbourhood joint survive for 60 years.
re: bomobob
ROFLMAO - I think it's a first - where CCP and Chalet BBQ were mentioned in the same thread. I agree about the Chalet, but I don't think it's exactly a great setting for a birthday meal.
Now this is just a personal suggestion, but I LOVE Lemeac. I have a very high superficial/pretention radar, and neither goes off there. It's just good food, prepared well, in a very unintimidating atmosphere. If your dad really wants to save $$, go after 10:00 and get the special. It can't be beat!
Happy Birthday!!!
re: maisonbistro
first off happy birthday to you. Now, for sure I must start by saying having eaten Chalet every week my entire adult life I am extremely biased in favour of a retro birthday at the NDG institution. However if ski chalet decor is not for you consider Pasta Cassericia (sp) also in NDG on Sherbrooke. Both offer good value wich in my opinion is always in style. Another solid special choice for our family is Moishe steak house on the main. Good solid steak house fare that can be budget minded if you watch what you order and forgo the appetizers in favour of huge steaks. Those are my picks so best birthday to you!!
Among bistros, Au Petit Extra probably delivers the biggest bang for the buck.
Le Jolifou and Le Bouchon de Liège offer strong QPR.
Au Cinquième Péché's mains run from $18 to nearly $30 but add $10 and you get your pick of dessert and either a fancy soup or fancy salad, which makes it a pretty good buy.
To cater to the carnivorous low-key eater, I think Gibby's is a great place to go... it seems pricey, but you definitely get your money's worth. If you've never been, chances are you'll be stuffed before you get to your main dish! An appetizer and salad is so satisfying I find it hard to even eat my steak :o
For just something sort of low-key and budget conscious, l'Express on St. Denis is a nice little place with decent French food for the money, complete with free gherkins and bread.
It might not be the atmosphere you're loking for, but Chez Anas in Verdun has a little something for everyone. (pricewise that is.) They have a burger & fries for under $10 or you can get the rabbit in mustard sauce for about $20. They have more expensive daily specials (usually some type of game meat) that are a bit pricier. Plus it's a byob, which always saves money.
There's also always APDC for a meaty good time, the price/portion ratio is incredibly good if you ask me.
Lastly, but not least, Khyber Pass Afghan. Between 15$-$30 per person, great food. (also a BYOB)
I don't know if BYOB was what you were looking for, but Bistro L'entrepont is a very low key place with good food. The table d'hote will run each person about $30-40 and includes soup, appetizer, main course, Trou Normand and dessert. The servings are huge, the food is good and honest, the atmosphere is very homey, and you won't have to pay crazy amounts for alcohol because it is BYOB. Lots of great meat choices for your dad. It's less pretentious than the other restaurants run by the same group (A L'os, Au Thym, etc.).
re: carswell
My understanding is the same group runs all those restaurants. I've eaten at A L'os, O'Thym, Les Infideles and Bistro L'Entrepont, but I haven't eaten at Les Heritiers, so I can't comment on that restaurant. When I said it was less pretentious, I just mean that the restaurant itself feels more cozy than the other restaurants of that group (at least of the ones I've tried). It would be my choice of the four if I wanted to take parents who didn't like fancy intimidating places.
Mind you, the reason I thought all these restaurants were run by the same group is because if you go to any of the restaurants, they have the cards for all the other restaurants at the door. And I seem to recall reading that A L'Os was being opened by the same group of people who ran Bistro L'entrepont....However, I may very well be mistaken.
re: moh
My info may be out of date. And now that you mention it, I do recall seeing a business card for L'Entrepont at À l'os. In any case, when Les Héritiers first opened, there was definitely a L'Entrepont connection; they even switched chefs from time to time.
Googling L'Entrepont and Les Héritiers confirms that, in the past at least, they were owned by the same people. A fairly recent post on Crus et Saveurs claims that all five restos are related. Who knew?
Was disappointed with my last meals at O'Thym and À l'os. Not that they were bad, just that they seemed routine, lacking in imagination and coherence, and thus overpriced. Haven't been to L'Entrepont in years. Couldn't stand the air pollution before the smoking ban and had begun to find the cooking too laden with cream and butter. A disastrous meal on a Monday evening when it was the only BYOB that could seat us made me swear it off. Good to hear that it's back on form.
re: carswell
I understand what you are saying about being disappointed by your last meals at O'Thym and A L'os. I do find that all 5 restos tend to rest on their laurels, and I don't go to them expecting new and original dishes. But at Bistro L'entrepont, the food is honest and filling and is so great with wine. I'm familiar with the menu, and so I feel comfortable knowing what to expect. That's why I like bringing wine there. I can bring some really great bottles and not be worried that they'll have some strong tasting ingredient that will shoot the wine down. When I want to drink a really special bottle, I often find that the food has to be a bit understated so as not to draw attention away from the wine. The menu at BL has a nice balance between flavor and classic preparation that makes it very easy for wine tasting.
Given your recent experiences with the other two places, I dont know that I would recommend you go and give BL another try. I fear you may be disappointed again for the same reasons. But I still like going there, I find it very comfortable. And I am very grateful for the smoking ban, because it is a small space....
re: carswell
Well if you base it on business cards, then La Prunelle, Le Bleu Raisin and Le Calin would also be part of that group. That would make it a rather big group.
re: carswell
Was your last meal at O'Thym the evening we all went? I thought it was good, but not as great as I was expecting.
Of course, my opinion could be coloured by the attack of gastro that occurred a few hours after I got home.
What about Le Margaux, on Parc near Laurier? Their site seems to be wonky today (maybe it's just me?) but here you go: http://www.lemargaux.com/
It's been reviewed in the Mirror and the Hour.
Though not a byow, it's quite affordable. The atmosphere is sophisticated but unpretentious, and the foie gras crème brulée is exquisite. We had a really lovely time there about a month and a half ago.
Edit to add: the portions are quite large, and there are many meat-rich options like rabbit, duck, and cassoulet.
I think Brasserie Brunoise (www.brunoise.ca) is a good place to be treated by price-conscious parents (we did just that a few weeks ago! although it was a bit awkward at the end when my European FIL wrote up a tiny tip on his credit card. I was dying when I saw the waitress' face - we corrected things before leaving the resto and she gave us holiday wishes but it was quite uncomfortable as we were getting dressed!)
Anyway, most mains but a few are under 20$, and the desserts are yummy.
My recommendation would be Liverpool House. Fits what you're looking for. Au Petit Extra would be another option. Then again, Chalet BBQ does have its merits...
re: cherylmtl
Thank you all for your recds.
I've been to Lemeac, Chalet BBQ, Pasta Caseracia, etc etc etc. never been to Liverpool house tho, sounds interesting. I heard the service was bad though, correct me if I'm wrong.
We go to bistros most of the time so I was looking for something different I guess.
Also, I was in the mood for some seafood (calamari) or some Mexican food, but since we're in Mtl I guess I'll scratch that one off.
Please advise.
re: atoz
Maria Bonita is a lovely place for Mexican. Low-key atmosphere, friendly service, and regional Mexican food so good that it had my Mexican friend very, very happy when we dined there. And not too expensive, though the dishes are smaller than average so you may need to order a few per person.

re: atoz
You know, I tried Casa de Mateo in Old Montreal by accident (we were trying to get into a resto down the road, not successful). It was a bit cheesy (they have a live mariachi band), but the tortillas are made fresh, the salsa also seems to be made in house, and my tamale was delicious. Hubbie had the fajitas, and they were also tasty. And the servings are huge, so no one leaves hungry. I was pleasantly surprised. And if you happen to like mariachi bands, then you are in luck.
If you want seafood/calamari, we have always been very happy with Philinos (sp?) on Park. Greek food. Some of the prices of the mains are a bit above the limit of $20 per main, but if you choose carefully, you can eat quite well there. And the servings are also huge, I find we often order way too much food than we can eat. Good calamari, good food, and fairly casual.
re: atoz
For real tasty and honest Mexican food, you should try La Guadalupe Mexicaine on Ontario East. It's not fancy, but the atmosphere is relaxed and QPR is really good. Everything I've had there has been great and the portions are generous. The service can be a bit slow on busy nights. The Tempiquena plate is great if you have a big appetite.
re: SnackHappy
thanks! I will check it out online
re: SnackHappy
The best kept secret for good Mexican is Le coin Mexique on jean Talon and Iberville. Their Tacos al Pastor, the Tortilla soup, and the Sopes are excellent. Although I would like to petition their decision to no longer include the small piece of Chicheron in the soup.
Amante on Monkland is also preparing some very authentic and good mexican, although they have a limited menu. I for one would rather have few selections prepared well, than many that are poorly made.
re: fedelst1
what's Amante address? where on Monkland street? can't find tit online
re: fedelst1
Yeah, had a bit of a scare at the Coin two weeks ago. We were craving it for lunch when we were in the area on Saturday, and were shocked to see it was closed! It was hard to tell, but it looks as if they're moving to a big space across the street...possibly with a very subtle name change. I kinda liked the old digs.
re: phedre
yeah nothing impressed me at Casa de Meteo. Not terrible but not anything special either.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Part of a relatively new state program aimed at preserving farmland would be eliminated under Gov. Scott Walker's budget to help erase Wisconsin's $3.5 billion deficit over the next two years.
Proponents of the program say the move by Walker would deal a severe blow to efforts to permanently protect agricultural land from development.
Walker's 2011-'13 budget proposal recommends eliminating the purchase of agricultural conservation easements program and $12 million in borrowing that was approved in 2009 to help fund the program.
The so-called PACE program is part of the state's Working Lands Initiative championed by the late Agriculture Secretary Rod Nilsestuen to protect farms from development and slow the loss of working agricultural land. The initiative also includes farmland preservation zoning, tax credits and the creation of agricultural enterprise areas.
At the time the initiative was approved, the state was losing about 30,000 acres of farmland a year.
Under PACE, the state would use the $12 million to provide grants to local governments and nonprofit conservation groups to purchase agricultural conservation easements from farmers. The state would provide up to 50% of the money for the purchase, and the governments and nonprofit groups would have to match state funds.
An easement would prohibit development that would make the land unavailable or unsuitable for agricultural use, according to the agriculture department.
Last year, 16 farms in six counties - Columbia, Dane, Dodge, Iowa, Jefferson and Waupaca - were selected from 36 applications for the program, and about $5 million had been earmarked to buy easements.
But Walker's move to eliminate the funding has put on hold plans to permanently protect the 5,779 acres of those farms, said Jeff Lyon, deputy secretary of the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
One of the farms, 233 acres, is in Ashippun in Dodge County. It is within 31,600 acres in Ashippun and the Town of Oconomowoc in Waukesha County that the state recently designated as an agricultural enterprise area.
The idea is to preserve large, contiguous areas of working farmland from development that breaks up productive fields and to promote development of agricultural businesses in the zones.
The state so far has created 12 of these areas.
For the 16 farms, the department was in the process of finalizing paperwork and contracts related to the easements. However, Lyon said it would not be prudent to sign contracts with funding in jeopardy.

Buffalo, N.Y. (WKBW release) -- The Butler Mitchell Alumni Association is sponsoring a City Kids @ Summer Camp "Night of Champions" fundraiser on July 21 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Buffalo.
The event, which will run from 6-11 p.m., will directly support camper funding to provide Buffalo inner city kids with an outdoor adventure of a lifetime, which they may otherwise be unable to attend for financial or other reasons.
Proceeds from the Night of Champions will give these children the opportunity to enjoy an atmosphere in a country setting that is far different from the asphalt and influences of the city streets.
The "Night of Champions" bash will feature the support and appearance of several local and national sports celebrities including Hall of Famers from the Buffalo Bills, the Buffalo Sabres, the NFL, the NHL, Mixed Martial Arts, collegiate and other sports figures.
The event will feature music, live and silent auctions, various raffles and an exciting live martial arts demonstration. Food and drinks will be served at stations around the room.
Buffalo City Court Justice Craig Hannah, is the co- chairman of the Camp and over the years, Judge Hannah has spent the entire week at the camp mentoring and serving these children along with eight Buffalo Police officers, members of the Erie County Sheriffs Mounted Division and Butler Alumni members. The outdoor adventure camp called Camp Weona, is owned and operated by the YMCA. The positive effect of City Kids @ Summer Camp has been life changing for these children and their families.
There will also be a special recognition at the event for former Erie County Sheriff Joe Joseph, a former Butler Mitchell member who passed away recently. Sheriff Joseph was a regular participant at the camp with the Sheriffs Mounted Division.
The Night of Champions is open to the public. Tickets are $50 and can be purchased by calling JRC Promotions at 716-694-7867.

Like great Boston Music?
Want to lend some support to the Marathon Bombing victims?
I know the answers are a YES! & YES! so go ahead and help both yourself and those most affected by the attack by getting this130-Track mixtape of local artists. Donate $1, or as much as you can (seriously, this is worth much much more than that), all proceeds go to the One Fund Boston.
I've been listening to this for several days now and I'm fairly certain this coming week's Photon Pitch will consist entirely of my favorite cuts.
What a treasure. I consider myself lucky to personally know a fair amount of these artists. So much fantastic material, and even better: it's all for a good cause. DO IT.

Sullivan Street Bakery--Pannetone review
- c
- chelabella Dec 8, 2005 06:07 PM
I went to Sullivan Street Bakery on Tuesday because I heard they had fresh pannetone baked on premisis (73 Sullivan Street location). Ideed it was fresh, and charmingly packaged (.5 kilo loaf wrapped in plastic, in green pannetone box ready to carry). But when I got home and opened it, I found that it was actually burnt on the top and bottom of the loaf. The bottom was burnt enough that the paper was unable to be peeled from it. It was so disappointing. Then I cut into it and found that the dough had been overworked (you could see the spirals of where too much flour had been on the bench in the shaping stage of the loaf). It was $14, which isn't unreasonable for a good quality, fresh pannetone. But the one I got was so, so disappointing. I will of course go back and try it one more time. But for now, I advise that you ask to look in the box before you buy one!
I'd take that one back to the shop and tell them that you really just want to exchange it. I'm sure they'll be more embarrassed than anything.
Can't wait to hear how this turns out.
Link: http://nycnosh.com
re: snoodent
sorry, but I cant accept the view that the best pannetone is going to be an imported, industrial product. OP should take her pannetone back and get a fresh replacement. Ive bought acceptable pannetone out at royal crown in Brooklyn, but Ive never searched around for the very best - maybe a post soliciting folks ideas on this will come up with a local solution.
re: jen kalb
of course a fresh, local panettone will be better. but fleur asked for an italian brand, ie, an imported industrial product.
does anyone know of a bakery that makes pandoro?
Does anyone have updated information about the best torrone and panettone in Manhattan? Thanks!!
Sullivan Street Bakery (on Sullivan Street) changed ownership earlier this year. In fact, it was my understanding that the Soho store is no longer even called by that name. It is now Grandaisy Bakery and is owned by Monica Von Thun Calderón who used to be a partner with Jim Lahey but no longer is. They are now two separate operations with Lahey owning and running the Sullivan Street Bakery on West 46th Street. I tried the rightly-famous Pizza Bianca at Grandaisy soon after it switched hands and didn't think it anywhere near as good as the original so it wouldn't surprise me if other products don't hold up either.
re: t_bone
You may be right that the same bakers are in back. I have no idea. But I'm certainly not the only one who discerned a decline in quality--at least as of a few months ago when the change in ownership was still new.
re: JoanN
I noticed a slight change in the Pizza Bianca in a few visits since the ownership change but they were fairly minor. Essentially, I noticed less rosemary and sea salt but the bread itself had the same flavor and texture. I noticed no particular difference in the quality of the loaves. The celery root pizza they have had this fall is also tastier than any of the pizza varieties I've ever had there before the shift.
re: eca
I go to both stores almost daily. I have come to the conclusion that bianca and pecorino never ever come out the same period, and the differences can be rather dramatic even from the same bakery from the same day. I have also noticed that Grandaisy is a little more relaxed regarding the form or shape of the bread, while Sullivan is generally a little neater and uniform. Grandaisy is a little cheaper. In terms of taste and texture, there is absolutely no way to distinguish between the two. One more thing, Grandaisy has more sweet offerings.
re: rfelicello
Please tell me it isn't true!! Their sesame bread and pizza bianca are one of my favorite items to eat. I just found this place 4 years ago and I am in heaven when I eat this bread. I haven't been to there in about 3-4 months. I usually go to the 46th ST. store. I am terrified.
re: mustardseed1
Have you folks tried the pannetone at Rocco's on Bleeker?
It's OK. I find the brands that are owned by Nestle etc., make a more cake-like
pannetone; where the Italian brands not owned by a conglomorate, make a more bread-like pannetone. Perhaps the cake type is to appeal to the American consumer. Buon Natale!
I won't argue with you that burnt is burnt. That said, the commercial brands also have a black bottom and the paper usually adheres to it. Maybe it's like the charred bottom of pizzas at John's. Some of us ASK for it charred on the bottom, but to others it seems like a mistake. I have eaten Pannetone my whole life and the bottom is always the hard dark part. Still, you lost me at $14!
