Gods, Have Merced! A Documentary Film
Date: December 2008
Creator: Lakpassa, Komlan Daholega
Description: Gods, Have Merced! chronicles the struggle of Jose Merced, a Santeria priest, with the city of Euless, Texas, where he has been residing for 17 years in an effort to overrule an ordinance that bans the most critical element of his faith: animal sacrifice. As the city officials justify the ban on the basis of public health, Merced thinks he is merely a victim of selective code enforcement aimed a restricting his freedom of religion. Local and national media covered the lawsuit he filed against the City of Euless, and Merced seems ready to take the fight over animal sacrifice to the United States Supreme Court. He wants American justice to give his African-originated religion recognized in a city where people seem uneasy about a practice that brings back the historic fears of Voodoo and its popularly assumed malefic practices. The film explores the complex structure of Santeria, its African roots, its renaissance in the Americas and the very controversial issue of animal sacrifice in the US.

The Impact of Ownership, Regulation Issues and Technology Adoption on the Introduction of Digital Terrestrial Television: A Comparison of the United States and Mainland China
Date: August 2007
Creator: Guo, Miao
Description: This study compares the impact of media ownership, regulation and policy, and technology adoption on the introduction of digital terrestrial television in the United States and Mainland China. Through the use of a case study approach, a qualitative and quantitative examination is given. The results indicate that private group ownership throughout the U.S. digital terrestrial television industry and state ownership in China's television industry lead to the different paths to digital transition. Both governments, however, are deeply involved in respective digital initiatives and play an important role in the implementation from analog to digital. The technical standard adoption in the two countries places the underpinning for the future development of digital television (DTV), which also results in China lagging behind the United States by almost ten years. The differences of technological environments in households and income among consumers in the two countries further predict the intention to DTV adoption.

Just $10 A Month: A Television Advertising Campaign
Date: May 2003
Creator: Mumtaz, Danish Kasim
Description: This written thesis accompanies three television public service announcement spots. Two of the spots are 60 seconds and one of the spots is 45 seconds in length. I produced this public service television advertising campaign to highlight the issue of child illiteracy in Pakistan and to encourage expatriate and resident Pakistani's to donate to educational charities. A Website created by the filmmaker is promoted in the campaign. This Website provides information about various charities that educate children in Pakistan. Detailed accounts of pre-production, production and post-production of the campaign allow the viewer to comprehend the challenges in producing television campaigns for social causes. Theoretical issues are also discussed, including the causes of illiteracy, the importance and role of social campaigns, the history and uses of propaganda as well as the aesthetic concerns of a public service campaign producer. I discuss the importance of creating the culture of public service campaigns in a third world country like Pakistan, and states that the Pakistani community needs to look inwards to overcome the challenge of illiteracy.

The job of the conferees may not be easy, moreover, for there are broad differences of language and intent in the two measures. In particular, the House, with its farm bloc in command, inserted a requirement that parity farm prices be increased by the inclusion of farm labor coats. No ceiling prices for farm products could be established at less than parity, so computed.

The Fifth Annual SummerDocs series hosted by the Hamptons International Film Festival is coming to a close in August with two festival favorites. "Elaine Strich: Shoot Me," which premiered at this year's Tribeca Film Festival, will be shown on August 12 while "The Short Game" is set to close out the festival on August 30 after premiering at SXSW in March.
The SummerDocs series strives to present East End audiences with the best in documentary filmmaking, and at least one board member thinks they've done well in 2013. "David [Nugent, HIFF Artistic Director] has a good eye for documentaries that lead to good discussion programs after," said Alec Baldwin, HIFF Advisor Board Member. "I think SummerDocs has been a great success."
Baldwin's "30 Rock" onscreen mother is the focus of the series' second to last documentary. Featuring interviews with Tina Fey, Nathan Lane, John Turturro, Baldwin, and the late James Gandolfini, "Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me" focuses on the 87-year-old Broadway legend's continued dominance as a performing artist. The 80-minute retrospective features archival footage of Stritch from past performances as well as new footage of her in her one woman cabaret act.
"The Short Game," meanwhile, deals with subjects of an opposite field. Instead of one veteran thespian artist, its focus is on nine 7-year-old golfers. These young phenoms are competing at the Pinehurst Golf course in North Carolina for the world championship of golf and trying to determine the next PGA all star while they're at it.
"From 7 year old golf prodigies, to an 87 year old Broadway legend, the final two films in this year's SummerDocs series are touching, fun, and provide a real look at the challenge of consistency in doing what one loves at the highest level, day in and day out at any age," said David Nugent.
More information about the SummerDocs series can be found at their official website.

The Voice of a Young Woman
MODERN PSYCHOLOGISTS talk about young women's "loss of voice" in their teens. While growing up, young women too often grow down, learning to silence themselves and stifle their opinions. Faced with puberty and pressure to conform, they retreat from being individuals.
Kate O'Flaherty's coming of age was also bound up with the woes of war. She had lived in a cozy and secure world of women, with spirited widows and nuns, and her beloved friend Kitty. She was being raised under the "Victorian umbrella" of women who cherished and protected young girls.
All that was shattered when she lost her brilliant great-grandmother; her school was closed; her brother died; her best friend was wrenched away -- and Union soldiers abused her and her mother. She had reason to hide in the attic, reading -- and studying -- novels like Ivanhoe. Some three decades later, in The Awakening, the beautiful Madame Ratignolle resembles Scott's golden Rowena. But Adèle Ratignolle is also a mother-woman: she recognizes that Edna is a troubled soul, in need of friends.
After the war, though, Katie O'Flaherty was lucky. In two all-female schools, she had the cure most recommended for young women's loss of voice. Her teachers and role models and student leaders were all women and girls. She saw women doing everything, and not shying away from expressing their opinions. Kate was also, in her last years, something of a school celebrity, both as a scholar and a creative writer. Like most authors -- but without recognizing it -- she found her vocation very early.

The docs for Windows 7 64 bit say that it needs to be a clean install, and that you have to restore user files after installing. Is the WHS backup (created by a 32-bit OS) sufficient to restore from? Or do I need to somehow manually copy their documents, programs, etc. to a backup drive before wiping?

Chantel Jeffries: So. Much. Cleavage.
Chantel Jeffries made sure all eyes turned to her when she sashayed into a pre-party for the Billboard Music Awards at the Jewel nightclub in Las Vegas. The model and actress wore a khaki-colored, figure-hugging dress that barely concealed her bosom. The bodice was so tight, her ample breasts almost popped out! More »

Finding inspiration in Emily Dickinson's poem Doom is the House without the Door, this exhibition considers the idea of the home as a charged, psychological space. Frequently identified with her family's home, where she produced much of her work, Dickinson has been described as an "eccentric recluse, wedded to her interiority." Feminist scholar Diana Fuss has argued that for Dickinson, "interiority was a complicated conceptual problem, continually posited and reexamined in a body of writing that relies heavily on spatial metaphors to advance its recurrent themes." Similarly, the works in The House Without the Door are characterized by their ability to explore myriad issues related to interiority and domesticity--such as agoraphobia, self-imprisonment, domestic abuse, and memory--through understated, yet compelling gestures.
The House Without the Door features critically acclaimed artists: Adel Abdessemed, David Altmejd, Francis Alÿs, Mamma Andersson, Louise Bourgeois, Michael Brown, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Maureen Gallace, Isa Genzken, Robert Gober, Mona Hatoum, Toba Khedoori, Charles LeDray, Thomas Ruff, Gregor Schneider, Luc Tuymans, Jeff Wall, and Rachel Whiteread. The exhibition will be open from July through August 5, 2011 at David Zwirner (525 West 19th Street NY NY 10011)

Replacing all the bulbs in my house with these, the color temp (6500K) is such a nice change, feels so much better than yellow lights.

So far so good
By fish
From Minneapolis, MN
It was not easy to find a replacement bulb for my fish tank, which needs 6500K light. This is the best fit I can find and it's brighter than my old 10W. But I am not sure about the 60W incandescent equivalent and how it was done.It's been used for about 200 hrs and too early to comment on the 10,000 hr life. Hope it will last that long.

Fun fact: These photos were taken at the St Pancras Hotel, which is where the Wannabe video was shot back in 1996.
A few initial observations/thoughts:
Doesn't Melanie C aka Sporty Spice look the spitting image of Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice?
Is Emma Bunton recycling Kate Middleton's Issa engagement dress?
Why the hell are they not dressed in this clobber? (We're almost certain Geri tried to persuade them...)
This seems to us as good an excuse as any to revisit this 1990s classic:
Viva Forever will open at the West End's Piccadilly Theatre on December 11.

Prince George's County's newest police recruit is hardly a rookie. Zeva is a seasoned veteran. She's a 5-year-old black lab and a bomb dog from the military.
Zeva did two six-month tours in Afghanistan with the Marine Corps. But with the war effort winding down the military has more dogs than it needs. So even though Zeva has several good years ahead of her, she was headed for early retirement.
"She's been bred and trained to work, she loves to work," said Cpl. Geoffrey Brown, Prince George's County Police K-9 Handler. "For her, just sitting at home on the couch, I don't think she'd be happy."
ABC7 was invited to attend Zeva's first day of field training with her handler. As part of the exercise, officers hid several simulated explosive devices in cars parked in a County parking lot, as well as in an open field. Zeva was then sent to search the parking lot. She found all the hidden devices.
The County police has claimed two former military bomb dogs, Zeva and Slick - also an Afghanistan war vet.
If the county was starting from scratch to buy a dog and train the dog, it's about $30,000. But dogs like Zeva cost $5 and will be trained in a few weeks.
With the Boston bombings still on people's minds, Zeva and Slick give the County police five bomb dogs ready to serve, allowing the K-9 unit to cover more ground more quickly and be better able to handle big events like Redskins games.
"They are invaluable, invaluable," said Cpl. Scott Allen, Prince George's County Police K-9 Handler. "With the changing world you never know what threats you are going to come up against day to day."
Threats these dogs have already faced on a battlefield far away, with skills they'll use to keep the County they now call home safe.

Windies Gayle blowing strong
Chris Gayle rose to the challenge with his third hundred of the ICC Champions Trophy to earn West Indies a place in the final.
Opener Gayle struck an unbeaten 133 to mastermind a canter past South Africa's 258 for eight at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
Now the reigning champions face the stiffest prospect of all, with world number ones Australia in wait for Sunday's showpiece in Mumbai.
"I always like challenges," said Gayle, after his 135-ball effort earnt another man-of-the-match award. "That is the kind of cricket I enjoy. If there is a challenge you can call on me any time."
His latest effort took his tally to 437 in seven matches and guided his side home with six overs and as many wickets to spare.
Such was the ease of the initial pursuit that a 10-wicket victory appeared on the cards until partner Shivnarine Chanderpaul was hit by cramp.
"I've tried to work on building on a start when I get one and the way Shiv played took the pressure off me," Gayle added.
West Indies captain Brian Lara sent the pair out with instructions to negotiate the opening 10 overs.
"They didn't just not get out, they scored a lot of runs as well," said Lara, as 75 runs flowed in all.
It was West Indies' fifth win inside a month here, including one over Ricky Ponting's Australian side, and Lara believes the qualifying stage they were forced into has been of benefit.
"We must give credit to the ICC for letting us play three games at the beginning," Lara said. "It allowed us to play competitive cricket while other teams were not."
South Africa captain Graeme Smith conceded his team were helpless against West Indies' top order.
"I thought it was a reasonable score and one we could defend," said Smith. "Chris Gayle played an unbelievable knock, it was a magnificent hundred and sometimes you have to give credit where it is due.
"At the halfway break we were confident but they transferred the pressure on us in the first 10 overs."

I've fielded quite a few questions lately about how to qualify for our 10% designer discount. The answer is simple--everyone who uploads a design to Spoonflower qualifies! The caveat is that this 10% discount applies only to orders of your own designs, and only to orders that are larger than a swatch. The discount becomes 20% if you order 20 yards or more of your own single design. If you order someone else's designs, you'll be charged our full per-yard price (and the designer will earn a 10% commission if the order is larger than a swatch).
Current prices can be found on our fabrics page. If you're thinking of offering some of your designs for sale in our marketplace, you can review our seller notes page here. If anything doesn't make sense, we welcome your questions at email@example.com.

It's holiday time, y'all! Whether you celebrate Chrimbus, Festivus (Google it for a fun Easter egg), Ludachristmas, Eggmas or any other equally spiritual special occasion, now is that magical time of year where it's acceptable to get drunk in front of your boss and/or Grandma, go on a shopping spree at 4 a.m. and eat your weight in HoneyBaked Ham. OK, some of us do these things year-round, but now we can't be judged for it!
For some reason, it's perfectly normal this time of year to go door-to-door singing unsolicited tunes to strangers. It's also a good excuse to talk to your best friend's wife, with whom you're secretly in love.
Music is a major factor in this wonderfully insane season, so I've collected a sampling of this year's best holiday tunes for all the good little CityBeat readers. Gather 'round!
Rapper DMX spit some classic rhymes for New York radio channel 105.1 FM:
The Roots produce pure magic week to week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and all their musical projects. Earlier this year, Fallon and the crew teamed up with musical guest Carly Rae Jepsen backstage to perform her The Song That Shall Not Be Named using children's/beginner instruments. Their follow-up? Mariah Carey's infectious holiday anthem, "All I Want For Christmas Is You."
And who could forget the holiday collaboration we've all been waiting for — the reunion of Sandy and Danny — This Christmas from Olivia Newton-John Travolta (easiest celeb couple name ever). Apparently everything that's ever existed is getting rebooted and, at this point, I think even my one-eyed cat has recorded a Christmas album, so it's no real shocker that the Grease duo would team up again for a holiday record. But between Travolta's Chia Pet hair, ON-J's scary Juvederm face and the following low-budge music video, This Christmas is making my eyeballs beg for the impending apocalypse.
Speaking of hot
messes, while it's always fun to get drunk on your employer's dime, it is
important to keep yourself in check at your work's holiday party. No canoodling
with co-workers, challenging your boss to a drink-off or dancing Gangnam style. Thought Catalog has some hepful dos and don'ts here.
Everything is Terrible (via Videogum) got its hands on a clip from a 1988 Christmas television special starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, his Twins buddy Danny Devito, Mike Tyson, Country singer Randy Travis, old lady and champion bowler Marie Gretter and a bunch of probably terrified children.
While Arnold's Austrian Antichristmas tradition may sound scary, it's not nearly as freaky as having Mike Tyson scream a Christmas carol into the face of an innocent child. Also, I'm pretty sure that when Ah-nahld manhandled the little girl who joked that he needed singing lessons, he may have brokes that little girls' ribs. This looks more like a Tim and Eric sketch than a primetime family program, but I guarantee if you show this to your kids, they will never misbehave again.
It's not Christmas in America until the Kardashian-Jenner family bestows its annual holiday card upon our unworthy eyes. Peep that Photoshopped piece here and find equally funny, scary and confusing family photos in this list of "34 of the most jovially insane family holiday cards ever sent."
If staged dance
performances weren't what you had in mind, think again. While not necessarily
Halloween-related, Cincinnati Ballet's ALICE
(in Wonderland) will take audiences on a whimsical journey down the rabbit
hole Friday-Sunday. In addition to talented dancers and music by the Cincinnati
Symphony Orchestra,
the costume and set designs are truly freaky-fabulous.
For a darker dance
experience, check out Exhale Dance Tribe's one-night engagement, Dead
Can Dance. The troupe has transformed Emery Theatre into a haunted
house, where dancers will lead spectators from room to room, creating an
interactive, spooky show Saturday night. The performance begins at 7 p.m.
After a month of bringing photography to the forefront of the Cincinnati art scene, FotoFocus will close with Saturday's Carnevil. The event boasts a full bill of entertainment from live music and DJs to improv and burlesque to fortune-tellers. Guests are encouraged to explore the venue, Newport's Thompson House — which is said to be haunted — and hunt for spirits from Southgate's past. Find tickets and event details here.
What's creepier than three identical mute men, covered in paint? Blue Man Group wraps up its local run with performances at the Aronoff Center Friday-Sunday. The show is an energetic spectacle that theater critic Rick Pender describes as "a strange and wonderful communal experience." Go here to read our full review.
Judging by the number of Halloween bar and club events, alcohol is the "candy" of choice for many adult trick-or-treaters. So it looks like Arnold's picked the perfect weekend for The Bourbon Ball. The bar will be stocked with more than 30 top shelf selections, offering specials on Manhattans, Old Fashioneds and other bourbon classics as well as bourbon-infused bites like Bourbon Bacon Strips and Bourbon Sauce Pork. The free event will also have swag bags and live music all night.
Final Saturday means Night Owl Market is back, bringing food trucks and vendors together at the parking lot at Main Street and Central Parkway. In addition to late night eats, NOMers can participate in a costume contest and a flash mob-style "Thriller" dance with Pones Inc. The free fun runs 10 p.m.-3 a.m. Saturday.
One thing that's definitely scarier than any haunted house or paranormal activity hotspot is breed discrimination. Show some love to dogs that prove no breed is born "vicious" at Bark Bash: Celebrating National Pit Bull Awareness Day. From pit bulls to puggles, all are welcome to romp around Voice of America Park Saturday from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. There will be raffles, vendors, kids activities and appearances from the Ben-Gals and Cincinnati Rollergirls.
Few experiences are more picturesque than spending a fall afternoon perusing Findlay Market. This Sunday the market presents its annual Fall Food Festival, featuring a pie baking contest, cider mulling demo, live music, food tour and more. Come hungry between noon and 4 p.m. Find details here.
Check out ScaryBeat for a full rundown of costume parties, bar events, haunted houses and more happening this weekend through Oct. 31.
In my opinion, costumes are imperative to any good October outing, but a successful ensemble doesn't have to be complicated. Pulling from pop culture — from favorite movies and TV shows to current events — is a perfect way to find a culturally-relevant costume. (And, speaking of cultures, make sure you don't select a get-up that mocks one. Racist costumes, much like Daniel Tosh, are way more offensive than clever or funny.)
Dressing like your fave TV characters is always a hit. Most television networks sell costumes coinciding with their top shows online. Pay homage to the first season of American Horror Story by dressing as the Rubberman or sporting the creepy Larry Harvey burn-face mask. FX also offers costumes from Wilfred, Archer and The League. More of a Kenny Powers fan? Get his Miami Mermen look here because, in case you missed it, Powers is coming back fucking soon. Since creating your own costume is almost always preferred, put on your DIY cap and peep inspiration from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and 30 Rock.
Whether you're throwing a Halloweekend party or just want to experience the weekend from your couch, peep this week's Halloween-inspired TV picks here. AMC, Syfy, ABC Family and other networks will be showing marathons of horror classics, family-friendly favorites and everything in between, in addition to new holiday-themed episodes of your favorite shows.
And while there are tons of horror movies in theaters this weekend, Hollywood continues its butchery of all things sacred with the remake of Carrie. It's not in theaters 'til March 2013, but the trailer does look pretty creepy.
Off the screen
and onto politics, this being an election year promises plenty of Romney- and
Obama-inspired costumes. Expect plenty of down-and-out Big Birds, binders full of women
and horses-n-bayonets. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing Workout Ken 2012,
aka a guy dressed as Paul Ryan from his P90XXX Time Magazine photo shoot.
Fellas, all you need are some earbuds, a red ball cap, grey T-shirt and some
free weights (fake ones if you're not as ripped as Romney's running mate.) Make it work!
What's orange, fiery and generally terrifying? No, not The Great Pumpkin. The Donald! Trump recently dropped his "October Surprise," an announcement that had bloggers speculating all week. The statement, supposed to be detrimental to the Obama campaign, spurred rumors of everything from Obama's alleged coke-dealing past to a failing relationship with his wife. But what recently surfaced was even lamer than all of that.
Trump has requested that Obama release his college transcripts as well as his full passport records by 5 p.m. Oct. 31 (there's the Halloween tie-in!) and he will donate $5 million to any charities of the president's choosing. So, essentially, more birther bullshit. Yawn. Last time I checked, Trump had about the same amount of political pull as Lindsay Lohan, so I doubt this bears any consequence on the upcoming election, but it would be nice to see Obama stick it to the grotesque ginge and, hence, idiots everywhere, one last time.
In addition to Cinco de Mayo and Derby Day, the next couple days bring a ton of events and activities. Saddle up, grab some tequila and get out there this weekend!
Essex Studios blossom this weekend for the galleries' spring Art Walk, BLOOM. The space has been transformed with a thousand origami flowers, yarn gardens by the Cincinnati BombShells and color-coded pathways. As always, more than 100 artists' work will be on view as guests eat and drink their way through the studios. The art walk runs 6-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Saturday is Clay Alliance's annual pottery fair at DeSales Corner. Peruse decorative and functional pottery pieces, meet local artists and get supplies to work with clay on your self. Hourly raffles and live music round out the day. The 12th annual fair takes place 11 a.m.-5 p.m., rain or shine.
The first Saturday of May happens to be Cinco De Mayo this year, but it's also Free Comic Book Day: once a year, comic/specialty book shops across North America offer free publications to all guests. Find a nearby participating store here. Many store offer additional in-store events and promotions; Up Up & Away in Cheviot welcomes The Walking Dead co-creator and original artist Tony Moore.
Crafty Supermarket is back! Making its home at the Clifton Cultural Arts Center, the spring show brings more than 50 indie, subversive crafters from across the city and country to sell their funky, functional handmade goods. Just in time for Mother's Day, shoppers will find unique apparel and accessories, home goods, artwork and more goodies. Fuel your shopping with delicious food and coffee from local vendors while a PROJECTMILL DJ keeps you groovin'. Show up early to nab a coveted swag bag — every year, shoppers line up around the corner of Clifton Avenue in hopes of being one of the first 100 who get a bag. The market is open 11 a.m.-6 p.m. and admission is free.
Cinco de Mayo is more popular in the U.S. than Mexico, but since when do we let historical inaccuracies stand in the way of a good drinking holiday? Nearly every bar and restaurant participates in some capacity, but we've selected a few to host our annual Cantina Crawl. Here's our schedule:
p.m. El Coyote
p.m. Pirates Cove
p.m. Tostado's Grill
p.m. MLT's
p.m. Cactus Pear (Clifton)
p.m. Nada
p.m. Bakersfield
Join our roving squad of senoritas and "Seen on the Scene" photographers as they travel from place to place with more prizes than you can throw a maraca at.
Prom is a rite of passage many, but often LGBTQ kids don't feel comfortable at school dances because of bullies and expectations about dress and dates. The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) Greater Cincinnati provides a welcoming environment for these individuals at their annual GLSEN Prom Saturday. Come to the Freedom Center for two events in one: those under 21 are invited to "dress as you want, bring who you want, and love as you want." In a separate area of the center the over 21 crowd, who maybe didn't get to experience a prom of their own, can enjoy dinner, drinks and dancing for $65. Those wanting to attend post-dinner can come after 9 p.m. for a discounted price. As always, kids are welcome free of charge with early registration. All proceeds support the local GLSEN chapter.

Rumspringa is a rite of passage when Amish adolescents can leave their community and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere prior to deciding to be baptized or to leave the Amish church.

I can relate to a young person who would do anything to keep a job that has a carrot at the end of it - a fabulous reference so she can get a better job, but jeez, catering to a witch who uses bad temper and threats to keep people in line. I know a few people like this so can't say I enjoyed reading about what should not be.
Sophomoric writing. Characters you couldn't care less about, most especially the main character, for whom we are supposed to feel soooo empathetic. Should I ever meet Ms. Weisberger, I shall expect compensation for my time, money, and that little piece of my soul which, in an effort to save itself, fled in panic and shame as I read this drivel.
This is a light, somewhat entertaining book. No one treats each other with much respect. But it's an okay beach read. Don't remember exactly when I read it but this is a good guess.
Good book. Movie sucked.
I hated this book. Hated it. Andy was horrible, inconsistent and fully of contradictions. Awful. And I love the movie, I thought it would have at least been enjoyable to see the background.
I really like the book. It is not a quality book but you just want to finish the book as quick as you can. Almost every girl likes fashion. So many girls would kill for Andrea Sachs's job. She must be so lucky to get to work for the most powerful woman in fashion publishing and wear all those beautiful clothes. And you feel sympathizes for the main character of the book. Their is also a lot of humor in the book.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0307275558, Mass Market Paperback)It's a killer title: The Devil Wears Prada. And it's killer material: author Lauren Weisberger did a stint as assistant to Anna Wintour, the all-powerful editor of Vogue magazine. Now she's written a book, and this is its theme: narrator Andrea Sachs goes to work for Miranda Priestly, the all-powerful editor of Runway magazine. Turns out Miranda is quite the bossyboots. That's pretty much the extent of the novel, but it's plenty. Miranda's behavior is so insanely over-the-top that it's a gas to see what she'll do next, and to try to guess which incidents were culled from the real-life antics of the woman who's been called Anna "Nuclear" Wintour. For instance, when Miranda goes to Paris for the collections, Andrea receives a call back at the New York office (where, incidentally, she's not allowed to leave her desk to eat or go to the bathroom, lest her boss should call). Miranda bellows over the line: "I am standing in the pouring rain on the rue de Rivoli and my driver has vanished. Vanished! Find him immediately!"
This kind of thing is delicious fun to read about, though not as well written as its obvious antecedent, The Nanny Diaries. And therein lies the essential problem of the book. Andrea's goal in life is to work for The New Yorker--she's only sticking it out with Miranda for a job recommendation. But author Weisberger is such an inept, ungrammatical writer, you're positively rooting for her fictional alter ego not to get anywhere near The New Yorker. Still, Weisberger has certainly one-upped Me Times Three author Alex Witchel, whose magazine-world novel never gave us the inside dope that was the book's whole raison d' etre. For the most part, The Devil Wears Prada focuses on the outrageous Miranda Priestly, and she's an irresistible spectacle. --Claire Dederer
