What's the word on Hosteria Romana?
Has anyone dined at Hosteria Romana on Espanola Way recently?
I understand they have another place on Ocean Drive. Any comments?
I had a very bad experience at the branch on Ocean Drive this past winter and would suggest you stay away. Plenty of better places. If you do a search you will find many posts about the place.
Had to chime in on this post, even though I'm now living in Los Angeles.
I used to be a regular at Hosteria Romana. My parents worked in one of the alleys off of Espanola and Hosteria opened about the same time my parents were working out of their place.
Since then (about 4 years ago) Hosteria has expanded into the cafe space next door, and a new location on Ocean Drive (which I haven't been to). Business is apparently better than ever for Hosteria and Marco (the owner).
Anyway, I make it a point to visit every time I'm in Miami. It's a great "regulars" place. If you want an amazing italian meal, then you may want to keep your eyes open, but when I lived in Miami for 18 years, I don't really recall any stand out Italian places, until Hosteria.
Back to Hosteria. If you go to the Espanola Way location, make sure Marco is there (he's the owner, the big Italian guy, quite jolly, with his shirt semi undone). If you are conversational with him, he'll be your best friend. Tell him you like cheese (which is imported from Italy almost daily) and olives and he'll hook you up. My favorite item is the gnocci alla Sophia Loren. DELICIOUS! Marco's wife runs the kitchen, and the wait staff is great (overly nice, and they all sing and hit on the women that walk by).
It's a really great place to get t know and become regulars at. I'm not sure how close you live to it, but give it a shot if you haven't tried it yet.
I am also a fan of Hosteria Romana. I'm from Broward, but if I want real Italian, in good portions, and outstanding flavors.. I will trek down to Espanola Way, and take my gang with me.
I've had the fish dishes, pasta dishes, meat dishes. I've never had a bad meal, nor any of my friends.
There isn't a more authentic, tasty, fresh Italian restaurant in the vicinity like this one.
I can't say enough good stuff about it.
It's good to hear all this positive feedback! I enjoy Espanola dining as it's ambiance provides a nice alternative to Ocean and Lincoln. The first time I went I fell in love with it! The side pasta they served was phenomenal. However, the second time I went back the side pasta wasn't the same, leading me to beleive the place was just another inconsistent sobe slop house trying hard to make a go of it with a BIG JOLLY Italian guy out front.
Everything I've heard about the Ocean Drive location(on chowhound) has been thumbs down...and it has been several years since I have gone back to the original location...with your strong validation I hope to head back soon!
After reading a number of very positive posts about Hosteria Romana on this site, I decided to take a friend there for his birthday dinner on Tuesday evening. As we approached the sidewalk cafe, a few of the waiters turned and called out "Buona Sera!" and showed us to a table. We laughed that the initial approach resembled that Saturday Night Live sketch where the too-friendly Italian waiters become so intrusive they end up licking the faces of the female patrons...
Oddly enough, that's how the rest of the night unfolded. As we started our meal, the waiters kept calling out and even heckling every passer by. In a Japanese restaurant, the wait staff sometimes calls out "Irashaimase!" to new arrivals as a single call of welcome. This was not the case. The folks working at Hosteria are like carnival barkers. It was funny at first, but then it became impossible to enjoy the meal or carry on a simple conversation. Adding to this - I swear - is a drum and cymbal kit set up just inside the door way... You guessed it - periodically during our meal, someone would grab the drumsticks and start pounding away.
Perhaps my decision to try this place on a quiet weeknight rather than a touristy weekend backfired. The waiters were idle and a little bored. Maybe the boss encourages them to create a sense of tumult to attract business. Espanola Way is a lovely setting for a restaurant, but the behavior of the staff at Hosteria gradually ruined the evening. We are young, fun people with a sense of humor and a pretty high threshold for noisy places. Trust me - this sh__t was ridiculous.
As to the food... hmmm - a solid C+. We were told there was a special appetizer of fresh mozzarella and tomato and I foolishly did not think to ask the price. I know, "Fool me once - shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on Me!..." but this was just a plate of cheese and tomato! To be clear, I was hosting the meal and wouldn't want my guest to feel that price was a factor in making his decision. I ordered the cheese plate and followed that with a simple chicken served Milanese style. The cheese and tomato salad was fresh and tasty and the chicken limp and lackluster... My friend ordered a calzone of cheese and prosciutto which was served hot from the oven but was entirely too salty to enjoy. He barely ate a quarter of the ample portion and he has a hearty appetite.
The relentless shouting and the drumming wore us out. We took most of my entree to go and then I glanced at the check only to discover that the cheese and tomato appetizer was a whopping $23 (a more costly item than anything else we ordered by FAR!) I should have asked - I know - but this is a really moderate sidewalk pizzaria kind of place... I don't really care much about the dinner check if the food is good, but a $23 salad appetizer at a pizza place (with screaming waiters) was sticker-shocking. I silently wondered if the up charge was an "entertainment fee?" Our waiter seemed surprised we were departing so quickly. I shrugged and told him we found the place, "a little loud," and he shrugged said something Italian-ish along the lines of "Boys will be Boys..." (Which readily translated to, "Noise will be Noise...")
Can any of the Chowhounds tell me what draws such praise for this place?? Is the heckling and drumming a regular feature? Why didn't anyone ever think to mention the RACKET?
In my trip report of 3/15/06 I described my experience at the Ocean Beach location as dissapointing, and wrote,"The waiters spontaneously yelling and banging utensils is obnoxious".I guess the Espanola Way branch is no better. I could not understand the positive reviews of this place, even the ones in this thread, just not my type of place.
Don't waste your time here! Besides the over priced and small portion or bland tasting food, you will find a automatic 18%-20% mandatory tip on your bill for parties under 5! Yes, MANDATORY, Don't try and change the tip because they will not remove it. Don't try to send a dish back because it was undercooked, they will blame you for it. Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!
re: miamifw
Hosteria Romana is a complete waste of time. The food is mediocre and the prices are outrageous! I've been to several fine dining establishments that cost far less than the food that they serve here. We got upsold by the enthusiastic waiter and ended up paying $44.00 for an appetizer plate with a few cold cuts and cheese. The next course was a basic pizza margherita $15.00. The crust was burnt and when I told the waiter about it, he just giggled as if I told a funny joke and walked away. There's a mandatory 15% -18% tip so I'm sure he didn't care about the level of his service. All in all we paid $84.46 for our lunch: $7.50 for a bottle of Pellegrino; $15 for the burnt pizza; $44 for the appetizer plate; $5.99 sales tax; and $11.97 automatic gratuity. Stay away from Hosteria Romana. It's a tourist trap with bad food.
we ordered 2 main courses and 2 horrible salads.
both salads came - with only leafs, 3 pieces of cheese, and NO DRESSING. and the price.... $15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
$15 for a bunch of leafs and goat cheese without any dressing???? one of the salads was supposed to come with fennel, as stated on the menu. but surprise surprise... no fennel AT ALL.
Service - DISGUSTING!
had to wait and ask more than 10 times for more water, and olive oil.
Servers stood behind us and looked at us eating like they're are short on plates or something. very uncomfortable to enjoy yourself and your company when the waiters just keep coming to check if you finished your food every 2 seconds.
the overly dry bread was probably recycled from other tables.
AND THE BILL including the mandatory tip? WAY TOO MUCH for this type of food and service.
never going back... and telling everyone i know not to go. even for free.......
re: baiana
Gotta agree...this is not a good place for Italian...and I'm Italian. Tourist trap is a more fitting label.
For very good Italian nearby try Spiga on Collins just south of 13th or Hosteria de Teatro on the corner of Espanola and Washington. Much, much better!
Further south on Washington there's La Locanda between 4th and 5th streets which is also very good.
This is really sad. This place (on espagnola) used to be one of my favorite restaurants in south beach. it's evidently gone way downhill, because at one time it was excellent. so it goes.
Awful is the best word to describe the whole experience. First, review the kitchen inside and restrooms and you will run out the door. They are all very friendly to get the drink order and food order and then all downhill from that! The fat guy who cuts the meats is really "Gross" and got angry when I asked him if it was sanitary that he eat with his fingers while cutting meat for customers? They try and sink and dance basically to keep your mind off the terrible ripoff prices. Here is why they have customers - They PAY the conceirge's to SEND YOU THERE. A conceirge is the worse person to ask where to eat in South Beach as they are all on commission.

After the visit to Emdoneni Lodge last Saturday afternoon, we made it back to St Lucia for around 6pm. I began watching the Ireland game against France in the Six Nations (we were beaten quite badly unfortunately), but left before it ended to meet Charl Koen from Extreme Nature Tours. I interviewed him for a podcast which will be available on the site soon.
After this, along with Alfred and Marianna, we returned to Ocean Sizzler for the third time in a day and a half. Again, it was a quiet night, although myself and Marianna polished off a bottle of wine together. But we were home again by 9pm and needed to be in bed early. Sunday was an early start – we were leaving at 5am...ouch!

LOUISVILLE, Ky (WHAS11) - A 45-foot-tall blue spruce tree will light up Louisville in two weeks. Friday, it was cut down from Thelma and Ben Alley's yard on Southern Parkway and transported to Jefferson Square Park for the city's Light up Louisville event.
"It's not going to be a Charlie Brown tree," promises Thelma Alley. "It's going to be beautiful!"
The thick spruce came down – or up – Friday morning. The Metro Parks Forestry Division cut it at the base with a chainsaw and then lifted it by crane onto a tractor-trailer that transported it on its side to downtown Louisville.
The Alley family says the tree was growing too large for their front yard and they are looking forward to seeing it all lit up because they were never able to decorate it for the holidays.
"That's what we're anxious to see, when it's all lit up," Thelma said.
The tree was originally planted by William Knapper and his son, Alan, when they lived in the house in the 1950s.
"It was about a foot tall when we planted it," Alan Knapper remembered. "We didn't think it was going to survive, but it just kept alive. When we moved out it was about 6-feet-tall. I drove by when I moved back and I couldn't believe how big it had gotten. It boggles my mind."
Alan says he believes the tree is about 50-years-old.
"When they said it was going to be used for Light up Louisville, it really hit home," he said. "This is, indeed, the circle of life."
The tree will be the centerpiece for the city's "Light up Louisville" event Friday, November 26th. This is the 30th year for Light up Louisville, sponsored by GE and LG&E. About 70,000 people attended last year's light up event.

Some Poems
I'm not much of a poet, but here are some recent ones of mine. The first three are ones I wrote while on a plane returning from Ireland this past summer... My ex and I had a sort of argument before I left, so of course I had that on my mind coming back. The fourth is one I wrote for AP Literature, and the last three... Well I think they speak for themselves.:
I kill time, you kill dreams
Spades of kings and rainbow rings
Serenaded flings this lady sings
I wonder why you'd do these things
I'm disappointed in you
"Dark Heart"
Go on, hold your grudge
I showed you nothing but love
"Don't Look Back Now"
Fading slowly life's a dream
Crush the fallen fruit beneath your feet
There's nothing left for you to dwell on
There are better days for you
"To Living"
How wondrous is the opening of eyes to the eternal sunshine that is our lives
The sweet sweet smell that rings the bells of memories long since past
It is so easy to not recall what small steps have been taken to get to this all
The sadness escapes you as the wind blows beneath you, as if it lifts you high
High into the breeze with the trees beneath your knees and the clouds within your reach
What cause is this? What sad crisp thoughts were dismissed to bring this bliss?
These laughing eyes bring you to cry with the realization this was all here already
Nowhere did it state you must not take life for granted but instead instate awareness
Yet you still wonder why no one blundered and told you this secret to happiness
Life is the unexpected, its undetected until the right directive leads to its finding
The order is that there is no order, no patterns or borders to outline the life we lead
You ask for instruction but it leads to destruction of the path you should lead, your own
What inane purpose did they tell you to claim? Is it fame that leads you to this frame of mind?
So much beauty in so much space its not a race to receive the grace of dramatic fakes
If you are to become human, have a heart thats quick to start loving no matter the part it plays
Creation is the key to elation, the vibrations that pulsate through the veins of the earth
Cannot be compared with those who crave only to get slaves for mundane service
You must make your own resource, not force the course of history to another plane
So much disclosure in a small enclosure the mind is a wondrous thing
And all that is mated to be reinstated in this world so frustrated must come from within
For only your soul can realize its role that each living thing plays on this small sad stage
So open your eyes.
Stand and wait---
Am I listed in your diary
Somewhere in that super-secret world
Can I know what my place is
Watch and learn---
This wall and I are inseperable
And like a flower I stand still
Only to be moved by the winds of your breath
Ask and tell---
There's no form or rhyme to this
No courage to put myself out there
You take the wind from beneath my wings
No that's quite all right
It's fine, no, she's cool
I mean, if you like those types---
Oh, nothing, I meant nothing
It's nothing
I was a fool for---
Oh, nothing, it's nothing at all
No, that's all right
Dreams can't last forever
It's nothing
I'm just saying, she's awfully---
I mean immature, mentally
I thought you were different
But hey, we all make mistakes, right?
It's nothing
Just ignore me, I'm babbling
What? Jealous? Me? Don't make me laugh
What does she have that I don't?
Oh, that's right, she's got yo---
It's nothing
I hate
the fact
you're with her
and not me
It makes it harder that we get along
I have to turn away
I can't watch her fawn over you
You two just look so wrong
A mismatch made in hell
You don't look happy with her
But she's beside herself with joy
I wish she was beside herself
Maybe then I'd be beside you

Re: Some Poems
Nice poems. I really liked them.Sometimes, immersed in his books, there would come to him
the awareness of all that he did not know, of all that he had not read;
and the serenity for which he labored was shattered as he realized the
little time he had in life to read so much, to learn what he had to know.

Re: Some Poems
You were right about the line break; that was supposed to be added in but I forgot it.
I do free verse mostly, and as you can tell the one longer poem was somewhat restrictive in itself because it had to be 300 words or more and in response to another poem or whatever it was I responded to. I am more of a respond-to-life type of person, and I hate word limits because as I hope you see, I get my point across better with less words.
Though, thank you for the comments. I'll keep attempting "fitted poems" (that's what I call them anyway) in mind for my next batch.
In the meantime, here's another short poem. Not my favorite, but... It's a poem.:
Please tell me you've opened your eyes
And that these lies no longer appeal to you
And that it's true you believe in me
If you could only see the way I looked up once

Re: Some Poems
I apologize deeply for double posting, but I have a new poem.
Go ahead
Dive a little deeper
Sometimes I wish you'd die
Just so you'd realize
That I'm not the only one you hurt
When you grab another bottle
Well go on then
Go a little harder
Push yourself to the limit
Try to take your life with it
I wish I weren't afraid
Of every time you said goodbye
Just do it
Cause all that trouble
I know you want the spotlight
I know you have your head right
Just stop the pain
You're not my problem anymore.

Re: Some Poems
That's why the Lord God created the "Edit" function. ;D Nice poems there, good writing. I do a little, so I know how hard it is to get the words right. My favorite is "You".
I am a Christian, so don't take my comment the wrong way. If you think I'm being paranoid, well, maybe you're right![This signature still in committee.]

The last place Chicago White Sox picked up a 10-6 win over the Atlanta Braves today as Alex Rios went 3-5 with 5 RBI's.
The 32 year old outfielder came back with a bounce back performance against the Atlanta Braves after he was benched Friday night after failing to run out a double play ground ball in the 5th inning.
Rios singled in the 1st inning, hit a grand slam in the 3rd and had an RBI single in the 4th. He is currently on pace for 21 home runs and 81 RBI's.
As for the starter Jake Peavy, he allowed 4 runs, 2 earned over 6 innings of work against the Braves. It wasn't his sharpest outing, but the White Sox offense tallied 10 runs on 13 hits against a tough Atlanta Braves team. The veteran right handed pitcher picked up his 7th victory of the 2013 season.
He has an ERA of 4.19, 1.16 WHIP and 69/15 K/BB ratio in 73 innings this season. As the trade deadline approaches on July 31st, he could be on the move.
Now for the Atlanta Braves, Dan Uggla hit his 19th home run of the season. The home run was a 2 run shot off of Peavy in the top of the 2nd inning. Uggla only had a total of 19 home runs last season, may be on pace to hit 32, if he stays healthy.
Paul Maholm left his start Saturday due to a sprained left wrist.

In LotR, another Glorfindel appeared, sent out by Elrond to the route the Nazgul were most likely to be because he was so high-tier he could solo them. Which he did in another instance. It later turned out the names were the same, Tolkien would have changed it if he noticed sooner but afterwards was reluctant to do so. Since elven names are supposed to be unique, the former and the latter are the same, and Tolkien later explained the Valar sent him back to Middle-Earth as a sort of predecessor to the Istari/Wizards.
It's pretty much "whoops, I wrote two badasses with the same name, better make them the same with an Elf-Jesus backstory."
01-08-2011, 11:15 #24
Huh, I don't get that part. How can elven names be unique, there must be hundreds of thousands of them (counting all the Quendi), or even millions.
01-08-2011, 11:21 #25
Because Tolkien said so, and because he only had to name maybe a hundred of them.

Tonight was insane.
The things that happen when months change into the next. & on Halloween no less.
all i ate today was a spoonful of oat bran, a small bite of a piece of cake, & a finger of chocolate frosting. the last two i am not proud of, but i drank lots of water & had a sugar free, soy hazelnut latte on my way home from work. not the best start, but at least that's all i had today. & i prefer feeling hungry than feeling full. not starving-hungry, just enough to remind me.

Before you throw Covington City Manager Larry Klein under the bus again ("Should city manager take the fall for fraud?" Feb. 26), let me tell you why I think this man deserves the opportunity to prove himself!
For starters, I have seen Larry give cashiers back money because they have given him back too much change. I've seen Larry pay down someone's tuition debt anonymously so that person could get their child's report card. I have worked tirelessly with Larry on a volunteer floor wax removal/stripping project at our children's school that saw us both donate over 100-plus hours of our summer to restore the floors to their intended condition.
This man has taught me a lot about life. He has taught me what it means to truly give back. He has taught me about taking pride in something. He has truly changed my life for the better and he is so full of integrity that if I owned a company, I would want Larry to run it. Larry is an intelligent, honest, and very hard working man that has nothing but Covington's best interest at heart. Always has, always will.
What Bob Due did was morally and ethically wrong, and he is solely to blame, not Larry Klein!

A Daily Word - December 29, 2013
December 29
Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. - 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Change and personal improvement are bywords of our day. Laws and rules are methods some try to produce transformation. But in Jesus Christ, change is guaranteed to occur. It's the difference between a rowboat and a sailboat. A person can row until the last trumpet sounds, and not get to Heaven. But all the sailboat has to do is ride the wind. The wind, spiritually, is the Spirit of God, given by Jesus Christ. Let His wind fill your sails, and when the last trumpet sounds it will herald not only His coming, but your homecoming.

'The Walking Dead' "Alone" Sneak Peak: Maggie, Bob and Sasha Battle Fog Walkers
Last night's all-new 'Walking Dead' installment "Still" understandably divided fans interested in following Daryl and Beth's quest for hooch, but all indications are that next Sunday's "Alone" will prove a horrific turning point for the latter half of the fourth season. Check out our first look at the new episode, adding deadly fog to compound Maggie, Bob and Sasha's latest battle against the walkers!
While we don't yet know what became of Maggie and her two prison compatriots after finishing off the Woodbury bus, our first sneak peek of next week's "Alone" sees the trio caught in an unfortunate fog that obscures their vision of oncoming walkers, forcing each to go back to back to survive the onslaught. The promo for next week's episode also saw Daryl and Beth in the mix once again, so might "Alone" bring us our first major body count of 2014?
Here's what AMC had to say of next Sunday's non-Oscar competing "Alone":
One group discovers shelter; a group realizes the truth about protection.
Descriptive as ever, we'd be hard-pressed to assume which, if either of the two groups discovers any kind of sanctuary next week. We'd like to think Daryl and Beth's ordeal this past episode would entitle them to some goodwill next week, but then again, Beth went ahead and committed the cardinal sin of presuming Daryl would be the last man standing. Suffice to say, somewhere, Joss Whedon's murder-sense is a-tinglin'.
What do you think? Will our first major casualty of 2014 come from Maggie, Bob or Sasha in next Sunday's "Alone," or will Daryl and Beth suffer the first loss? Check out a sneak peek of the latest 'Walking Dead' above, and give us your predictions in the comments!

Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe (original 1992; edition 1998)
by Bill Bryson

Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe by Bill Bryson (1992)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Bill Bryson is great! I just can't stop laughing. Although it's decades old and somewhat outdated, in many ways it still is very up to date. I don't understand all the whining going on about this book, perhaps you should just let go and laugh a little?! I found this tremendously funny but then again, I am rather mean and an admitted exaggerator so suits me well, sir.
I love travel books and I can't believe it has taken me so many years to get around to reading this one! What a great trip, the odd flight here and there, but mainly place to place by train all over Europe. Bill Bryson was recreating a trip in this book that he had first experienced as a student, with his friend Katz. His observations include the hotels he stays in, what to see in different towns and cities as you wander around and what the restaurants and museums are like. It was a four star read, not five star for me purely because it was dated. This is no fault of the author - the book was first published twenty three years ago! But I did wonder whether some of the observations are still accurate - there were two oppostite views which stood out for me. One was the description of Rome - 'the Romans will decorate it with litter - an empty cigatette packet, a wedge of half eaten pizza, twenty-seven cigarette butts, half an ice-cream cone with an ooze of ice-cream emerging from the bottom, danced on by a delirium of flies, an oily tin of sardines, a tattered newspaper and something truly unexpected, like a tailor's dummy or a dead goat'. I was in Rome a couple of years ago and cannot relate to this image of rubbish in the streets - hopefully this means the city is a cleaner, tidier place now! However, the observation I agreed with wholeheartedly was this one about Liechtenstein - 'restaurants were thin on the ground and either very expensive or discouragingly empty. Vaduz is so small that if you walk for fifteen minutes in any direction, you are deep in the country. It occurred to me that there is no reason to go to Liechtenstein except to say you have been there'. Spot on! We went last year and came to exactly the same conclusion.
It would be fascinating, I think, if Bill Bryson were to recreate this trip for a third time and republish this book with an update. The sections on Yugoslavia and Sofia would be very obviously different but I wonder what else would change - the ease of ticket bookings given the availability of mobile access/wifi would undoubtedly be something that would have to be significant.
Summary: Bill Bryson travelled around Europe as a young man. In the early 1990s, he decided to retrace his steps. He starts out in Norway, hoping to see the Northern Lights. He then makes his way through the rest of Scandinavia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Turkey, reminiscing about his previous trip, and reporting along the way about the hassles of transportation, the odd accommodations, the highlights and lowlights of the various cultural attractions, and the attitudes of the locals he encounters.
Review: Not his best. From reading his other travel writing (Notes from a Small Island and In a Sunburned Country, and to some extent A Walk in the Woods), it's pretty clear that Bryson is, at best, a grumpy traveler. I've occasionally wondered why, if seemingly everything about travel irks him so badly, he continues to do it. I suspect that he's not really as grumpy as he puts on, but instead is dealing with the same minor inconveniences as any traveller, just amping up the curmudgeonliness for comic effect.
But the thing was, in this case, the grumpiness outweighed the humor, although there were some parts that were relatively amusing. But Bryson didn't seem to enjoy much of anything about Europe except Italy, and also ogling the asses of every young European woman he saw. (Seriously, he comments on women's bodies a lot, enough that I not only noticed but was also grossed out by it.) The biggest problem was that not only did Bryson not make me want to visit these places, it's that he didn't give me a particularly good feel for most of them, either. He doesn't really talk to the locals (other than station agents and hotel clerks and the like), and he doesn't include much of the type of history or tangents that mark some of his other travel books. So for all that he tries to point out how much cultural diversity Europe contains, all of his destinations tended to blur together, and it makes it hard to remember if this rude waiter or that crowded museum or the really terrible traffic was in Copenhagen or Vienna or where. And given how dated this book is at this point, it's hard to say how much of the impression that he does give is still accurate at this point. (So maybe this book did make me want to go to Europe after all, if for nothing else but to compare!) 3 out of 5 stars.
Recommendation: It's not terrible, but it's out of date, and it's not Bryson at his best at any rate. I think it might actually be better for those with some experience traveling in Europe already, who can impose their own experiences over Bryson's grumbling.
As the name suggests, I thought this book would be about traveling across Europe. I made it through the first chapter. The author was attempting to be so overly comical that it was difficult to tell if some scenes and dialogue were real or fiction interjected for comic effect.
If anyone is looking for a book describing the authors travels across Europe, they should look elsewhere.
3.5 stars. Bryson twice travelled through Europe when he was younger. Some years later, he decides to go again and write about it. In this book, some of the places he travels through include Norway, Denmark, France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Yugoslavia (the book was originally written in 1992), and even Liechtenstein. He will often think back to his original trip and describe that, as well as the "current" trip he was on and writing about.
I'd say this is pretty typical of his books. I enjoyed it, and there were plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. I particularly seemed to like some of his comments while he was in colder places (coming from Canada, myself). It was kind of interesting to read the Yugoslavia section and wonder how much has changed.

Dhoni takes Super Kings to a clinical win
Chennai Super Kings jumped to the top of the table with a fine five-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the JSCA International Stadium Complex here Tuesday.
Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni again took the team home safely with an unbeaten 26 off 16 balls along with Ravindra Jadeja (11 not out) as Chennai Super Kings achieved the target of 149 with two balls to spare and five wickets in hand.
Though Super Kings lost two quick wickets of Brendan McCullum (6) and Suresh Raina (2) inside five overs, Dwayne Smith (44) and Faf du Plesis (38) kept the Super Kings on track with their valuable knocks. Both McCullum and Raina were removed by left-arm spinner Ankit Sharma, who was the most impressive of the Rajasthan bowlers with two for 20.
Smith was the aggressive one as he struck five fours and two sixes in his 35-ball innings while Du Plesis, was happy giving the strike to his West Indian team mate. The South African struck two fours in his 39-ball knock.
The duo added 35 runs for the third wicket before Smith fell tamely while attempting a pull shot of his fellow West Indian Kevon Cooper, but lobbed it to the wicketkeeper. Ravichandran Ashwin took 16 balls for his 14 and was castled by Rajat Bhatia while Du Plesis had his stumps rattled by James Faulkner.
With Du Plesis back in the dug out, Super Kings were 121 for five in 17.3 overs. They needed another 28 runs in 15 balls. Dhoni made it look simple and finished off the job with ease. He struck a four and a six in his 16-ball innings and got good support from Jadeja to take the team through.
Earlier, a captain's knock of 51 by Shane Watson took Rajasthan Royals to 148 for eight in 20 overs. Besides Watson, Ankit Sharma (30) and Stuart Binny (22) were the two other batsmen, who could get to double figures.
Watson and Ankit gave Rajasthan an impressive start with their 60-run stand but after Aknit's dismissal, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Watson played a whirlwind knock in 36 balls and hit three fours and four sixes.
Mohit Sharma picked up 3/31 from his four overs while Ravindra Jadeja bowled miserly for his two for 18 from four overs.

Straight out of the Ross Geller handbook ... Michael Lohan tells TMZ his secret love child was NOT the result of an affair ... claiming he and Dina Lohan were ON A BREAK when he inseminated another woman.
We broke the story ... DNA results proved Michael is the father of 17-year-old Ashley Horn -- who was born in 1995, while MiLo was still married to Dina.
But Michael tells TMZ ... he does NOT classify the relationship as "cheating" or "an affair" because ... "Dina and I were separated and living separately at the time for 8 months."
Michael is also calling BS on his other daughter Lindsay Lohan -- claiming there's no way she could have been in the dark about the love child because, "Dina has been telling our children that Ashley is my daughter for years, without even knowing the results. So how could this be news to our children?"
Great question ... meanwhile, remember Ross Geller? (scroll to :53)
Well, if they were separated.....
Excluding the fact he demanded a dna test on television he should be embarassed that his former ex who had a restraining order against him is expecting his son.
On a break with a baby on the way? I'll bet Dina drank the whole time, too.
He's a fu.king moron
Good job TMZ! You found something I care even less about than Justin and Selena's breakup.
Milo tweeted a picture of a NEGATIVE DNA test to Lindsay back in Sept or Oct
Milo tweeted a NEGATIVE DNA test to Lindsay in September or October!
Someone please neuter this whore.
He should be the poster child for condom companies!
What did I say 3 threads back? That there would have to be a Milo story saying Blohan knew about Ashley YEARS AGO . . . ! BINGO
If your married, it's cheating, I don't give a shyte that you were separated for 8 months. You are a whore and I'll just bet you were out boinking anything that would pay attention to you the minute you moved out of the marital home. I just love the way MEN EXCUSE off cheating.
News flash for Bloathan, we don't believe Liho to begin with, the last thing we need is you coming to the rescue to super inform us how much of a pathological liar Liho is.
BTW, Bloathan, stay the "F" away from Ashley, you've f'd up enough children, in your case, practice makes perfect in raising "BAD EGGS!".
on a break isn't that what you say in high school lol
Milo must be trying to raise money to pay the lawyer.
Of coooourseee, turtle face!

Behind The Scoreboard
Still high on the Sky
The Girls of Summer (WNBA), are over halfway through their schedule and the past champion (Detroit Shock) is still languishing in next to last place in the Eastern Conference and playing less than .500 ball.
However, they did pick up a win on Friday against Minnesota Lynx of the Western Conference. The victory moved their season record to 6-9. The Lynx dropped to .500 at 10-10 but still held onto third place in the West. Bear in mind that the WNBA operates under a 34 regular game schedule. The Shock is six and a half games out of first place, meaning that there are only 19 games left in their window of opportunity.
Indubitably, the hot commodity this season is the Indiana Fever of the East. The Fever has the second best record of the league at 14-4. La Fever made the playoffs last season with a .500 record of 17-17, but was shut down 2-1 by Detroit in the conference semis. The predictions were not very high because the head coach, Lin Dunn, is in her second season and her record was less than stellar at 50-80. And, let's face it; they just didn't have that, well, "fever." They didn't jell as a complete unit. Remember, they had a solid performer in Tamika Catchings but she lost a lot of games last season to injury. And the Fever helped itself through the free agency list. By picking up Yolanda Griffin from Seattle and Tamecka Dixon from Houston, they found a unit that was destined to meld. It just might be a little premature to label them winners at this juncture, however, with 16 regular games left, they have to be dubbed "contender."
The ruler of the West roost is the Phoenix Mercury. In first place with a mark of 15-6 and two and a half games in front of Seattle, one has to say the Mercury is in a good place on the old thermometer. Phoenix finished sixth last season with a 16-18 record. High on offense but low on defense could very well have hampered the Mercury last season. They had the top two scorers in the league in Diana Taurasi and Cappie Pondexter. The former registered 24.10 per contest and the latter made a 21.20. Phoenix finished last in the league in defense against the shot. One has to remember that the Mercury were the defending champs from the 2007 season. So what happened? For one, their best defender and third leading scorer, Penny Taylor, skipped out to train with the Australian national team and take part in the Olympics. She has not returned; however, the Mercury seemed to have found another winning formula.
If you all can recollect (as my grandmother used to say), I stated in an earlier report that I was high on the Chicago Sky's chances this year. That has not changed. They are at .500 and tied for third with the Atlanta Dream in the East. Their 10-10 record leaves them 14 games in which to make up the deficit. So the Sky has ample time to reach for the stars.

Charles Walker @ WKCR-FM, 1973. Polaroid Big Shot portrait by Fred Seibert.
In retrospect, it's no surprise to me that Blues from the Apple was Charles Walker's only album as a leader after 20 years of singles for Danny and Bobby Robinson labels. Charles was a talented musician, but he was an ace huckster. Two stories in particular stand out in my memory.
We had a session planned and at the last minute Charles called and said he was without a guitar. We scrambled and were able to borrow a 12-string electric from our friend, composer Robert Alpert. Afterwards, Charles had another request.
"Boys, I loved this gi-tar so much and I've got a gig tonight. Could I bring it back tomorrow?"
Sure thing Charles. After all, he was our recording artist.
Next morning rolls around and so does Charles. But, instead of a guitar he hands me a pawn ticket from a shop in the South Bronx. Let's leave out the fact that we were dead broke. This was the 70s; the South Bronx was a suicide zone, especially for white kids (ever see the movie Fort Apache, The Bronx?).
Fast forward a couple of years. Blues from the Apple had come and gone, our least well received release. Oblivion itself is on its last legs, and we get a call that poor Charles had passed away in his mid-50s from lung cancer, could we come to a memorial at 116th Street & Lenox Avenue (also, not a great neighborhood in those days)? We get to the funeral home to greet a large gathering of well wishers, a mix of folks from the neighborhood and new fans from our recording efforts. The service itself was a large piece of drama (Charles' wife Josephine and girlfriend, drummer Ola Mae Dixon, trying to out cry each other, and best, Lousiana Red's impassioned eulogy, only marred by the fact that Red had never met Charles). As things are about to begin, Tom and I get a tap on our shoulders.
"Excuse me gentlemen," says the funeral director in the expected hushed tones. "Could you join me in the back?"
Tom and I look at each other, shrug our shoulders, and head to his office.
"Gentleman, I'm told that you are the managers of Mr. Walker's record company." Uh-oh. "Mrs. Walker" —which one?"— "Mrs. Walker informs me that you gentlemen will be paying the balance of expenses for the service. Unfortunately, without that payment Charles' ceremony cannot continue."
Oh jeez. The final hustle.0 comments Tagged: OD-4, Blues from the Apple, Charles Waker,.

Michael Curtiz – The Boy from Oklahoma (1954)
Plot Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Reminiscent of Destry Rides Again, this feature is about peaceable young lawyer Tom Brewster (Will Rogers Jr.), who sets up shop in a rowdy western town. Though perfectly able to wield a six-gun, Brewster refuses to use brawn when brain will do. He is galvanized into action when his old pal Wallace Ford is murdered by the villains. Brewster cleans up the town and wins the heroine (Nancy Olsen) in the bargain. One of two Will Rogers Jr. vehicles produced at Warner Bros. (the other was the life story of Rogers' famous father), The Boy From Oklahoma served as the basis for Warners' later TV series, Sugarfoot. Watch for a supporting appearance by a young and callow Merv Griffin! Continue reading
Michael Curtiz – The Unsuspected (1947)
Noir of the Week review
Don Malcolm
What has Laura got that The Unsuspected hasn't? All the romantic, mid-range melodramatic elements that make for an essentially safe, polished, none-too-threatening entertainment experience—a dynamic, exceptionally attractive couple in Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews; a marvelously b*tchy homme fatale in Clifton Webb; a celebrated score and theme song from David Raksin.
You won't find any of these things in The Unsuspected. What you have instead is the noir mastery of director Michael Curtiz and cinematographer Woody Bredell, who take aspects of the Laura plotline into new levels of intricacy and darkness, fueled by an almost lapidary sense of frame and scene construction. The camerawork and lighting in The Unsuspected, particularly in the studio scenes (inside the Croton mansion where most of the action takes place) is possibly the most sublimely sinister cinematography in the entire noir canon. Continue reading
Michael Curtiz – Mildred Pierce (1945)
film site.org:
Mildred Pierce (1945) is a classic, post-war film noir mixed with typical soap-operish elements of the woman's melodramatic picture or "weeper," including a strand of a typical murder mystery often told by flashback. The family melodrama was significantly modified from its original source due to pressures of the Production Code regarding its sordidness – namely, the incestual behavior of the dissolute playboy character named Monte.
Famed Hungarian-born director Michael Curtiz (who had already directed many diverse film genres, including The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), Angels With Dirty Faces (1938), Dodge City (1939), The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939), The Sea Hawk (1940), Casablanca (1942), Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), and This is the Army (1943)) shaped this significant film in the genre. Curtiz reluctantly began filming with 'has-been' star Joan Crawford, who had developed a reputation for being mannered and difficult, but was pleasantly surprised when she delivered one of the best performances of her career.

Michael Curtiz – The Matrimonial Bed (1930)
It is the fifth anniversary of the death of Adolphe Noblet who died in a train wreck. His servant and friends still worship him but don't care much for his wife Sylvaine's second husband Gustave with whom she has recently had a child. Sylvaine's friends recommend that she use a new hairdresser, Leopold Trebel. However, when this womanizing coiffeur arrives, he turns out to be Adolphe suffering from amnesia. A doctor restores his memory using hypnosis but in the process wipes out everything that has happened to him over the last five years. Adolphe thinks he has been unconscious for only a few hours and the doctor tries to keep the truth from him thinking the shock could kill him. This becomes even more difficult as Leopold's wife, with whom he has had two sets of twins, shows up and insists he is Leopold. Gustave finally tells Adolphe/Leopold the truth and he is left with the decision of which man and in which family he wants to be. Written by Brian Cady Continue reading

IMDB User Reviews
20 April 2004 | by bullybyte (United Kingdom)
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
SPOILERS!! The film starts with a woman on the run from her millionaire husband giving birth to a daughter in the home of a washerwoman. The woman dies in childbirth, but the baby survives. The washerwoman leaves the baby in a horsedrawn Parisian taxicab (No. 13). The paperwork of the birth is lost in a huge tome. Sixteen years pass. The tome is bought by a poor student. One day his bookshelf collapses, and the tome opens at the page where the paperwork has been hidden. The student realises that the paperwork relates to a millionaire who has spent the last sixteen years looking for his pregnant wife. The student traces the washerwoman, and he tricks her into confessing what she has done with the baby. Meanwhile, the baby has been adopted by the cab driver and his wife, and has grown into Lili Damita. She has a boyfriend whom she loves very much. The student realises that if he marries the girl, he will be the son-in-law of a millionaire. He begins to prise the girl away from her boyfriend. There is some soul searching as the girl, now knowing who her real father is, must choose between her real family and her adopted family. But there is a happy ending with a memorable scene at the end where the bride, now back with her original boyfriend is being given away at her wedding by both her fathers. Continue reading
Michael Curtiz & Lloyd Bacon – Alias the Doctor (1932)
SYNOPSIS: Karl Muller and his foster brother, Stephan Brenner, leave their farm in the Austrian countryside, and travel to Vienna to study medicine. Karl is in love with his foster sister, Lottie Brenner, and would rather work as a farmer, but in deference to the wishes of his foster mother, Mrs. Brenner, he studies hard and is named valedictorian of his class. Stephan, on the other hand, enjoys drinking and flirting more than studying. One night, while drunk, he performs an illegal operation on his girl friend Anna. After she becomes very ill, he confesses everything to Karl, who agrees to try to help her, even though he does not yet have his license. While Karl is with Anna, she dies, and he takes full blame for the operation in order to spare Mrs. Brenner's feelings. He is not allowed to graduate and spends time in prison. After he leaves prison, he returns home to find that Stephan has died. Karl is eager to return to farming, but after he successfully operates on a boy injured in an accident in front of the house, Mrs. Brenner convinces him to pose as Stephan and continue his work as a surgeon.

"When I started my career at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the mid-1980s, AIDS was a newly discovered virus and people counseled me to stay away. They said it was just a medical curiosity that would be quickly solved and never have major public health importance. I didn't listen to them and made AIDS the focus of my work."
Holistically Addressing the Needs of Young Vulnerable Children and Their Caregivers Affected by HIV and AIDS
In Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, young adults are experiencing an HIV and AIDS epidemic that is placing their generation in even more danger after years of conflict.
Since HIV – the disease that causes AIDS – was identified in 1981, more than 60 million people have been infected – and 25 million have died AIDS-related deaths, mostly in low- and middle-income countries.
Women are at a higher risk for infection than men – in part due to anatomy but also because of gender inequality and sexual abuse. And hundreds of children are born with every day with the disease transmitted from their mothers.
In developed countries like the United States your earning potential is often based on the number of diplomas you have. But in rural Malawi, completing even a primary education is one of the most precious things anyone can achieve. For most girls there, getting even that single diploma is a rarity.
With a higher value placed on working in the fields, fetching water and helping take care of younger siblings, education lags behind for girls.
