Piemonte 2014 and some links to previous years And don't forget November Porc. If you end up at Ivan's or La Buca on a Saturday or Sunday next month try to make it to Sissa, Polesine, Zibello or Roccabianca. |
A couple of places in Monteveglio, about 20 km west of Bologna. The Parco Abbazia is a beautiful spot and great for walking. Trattoria del Borgo, Monteveglio http://www.trattoriadelborgomontevegl... |
relatively inexpensive agriturismo with great food? (anywhere in Italy) |
Restaurant Recommendations in Parma La Forchetta changed hands about a year ago and is indeed now more of a seafood restaurant. I've only been once since and the food was good but, like most of the places in the city, nothing special. I know that sounds pompous and maybe I'm spoilt, but the city centre trattorias and restaurants just aren't as interesting or friendly as the out-of-town places. Tribunale is a good example - decent food but now a bit soulless and perfunctory. It is another old establishment that has come "under new ownership". (It seems that quite a few of the Parma landmark trattorias are being gobbled up by a small group of "investors".) Even going out a couple of kilometres to Ai Due Platani, Antichi Sapori, Mille or Da Romeo you get a more inviting atmosphere and better food. Having said that, if I had one night in the town and wanted a decent Parmigiano meal I would happily eat at Sorelle Picchi (guess what, was sold on a couple of years ago, but still serves very good salumi misti, primi and, unusually for Parma, secondi, particularly the guanciale in vino rosso). But if I had the time and 20 euros to spare for a taxi I'd get out of town. Major caveat: it's only my opinion, others might disagree! |
Restaurant Recommendations in Parma Hi Z. For me Enoteca Fontana is a better bet than Tabarro. It's about 50 yards farther down Via Farini. The back room has a nice vibe and the plates of ham and nibbles are very good. The best spot for aperitivi is the Oltretorrente area on the west side of the river. There are some great wine bars off or near Via D'Azeglio such as Bar Kiko (Via D'Azeglio, specialises in organic wines), Osteria Oltrevino (Borgo Pietro Cocconi), Labo (Strada Inzani) and Le Minimum (Piazza Picelli). Also nearby is a decent birreria (artisanal beers are big in Parma) called Le Vecchie Maniere (Borgo Bernabei). You'll get decent stuzzichini at all of them. |
Honeymoon in Italy (Genoa, Cinque Terre, Bologna, Modena, Parma, Venice, Tuscany, and Florence) I think you'll be fine without a reservation in October. |
Honeymoon in Italy (Genoa, Cinque Terre, Bologna, Modena, Parma, Venice, Tuscany, and Florence) A lunch suggestion for Cinque Terre: Trattoria dal Billy in Manarola. I don't know where you are staying, but if it's one of the neighbouring villages you could walk to Manarola (about 1.5 hours from Monterosso, for example), eat pasta with fresh crab and lobster and then get the train back. Wonderful location and food. If they take you off menu, check the prices before you order (fish of the day will be delicious but can be pricey). |
Milan to Siena - recommendations along the way? If you find yourself in the Parma area around lunchtime you could come off the A1 at the La Spezia exit and head north to La Porta di Felino. Or carry on to the Parma exit and try Le Viole (cucina parmigiana cooked by Friulians). Both only a few minutes from the motorway. |
Emilia-Romagna and Lombardia: a late report (l-o-n-g) and plans I'm glad that Parma worked out for you.If you come again let me know and I will be happy to take you out to one of the country places (I was in London at Christmas getting my Indian and Turkish fixes). I have a theory about the olive oil at Santa Chiara - could the fishy additive have been lobster roe? I say this because I had shellfish with a delicious olive oil/roe kind of emulsion at another restaurant in the city. Did you track down the porcini? |
Emilia-Romagna and Lombardia: a late report (l-o-n-g) and plans I'm not sure I have the expertise to answer that one, Jihba, as I've never seen P-R for sale that's more than 60 months old! However, I do buy a fair amount of the younger stuff, and the delis (particularly Garibaldi, Verdi or the Prosciutteria http://www.noidaparma.it/en/shops.php) all sell top-quality P-R. Sorelle Pichi on via Farini and Casa del Formaggio on Via Bixio (over the river in the Oltretorrente) are also good bets. They will all sell it to you sottovuoto (vacuum-packed). I don't know about buying from a trattoria but it's worth a try. |
Emilia-Romagna and Lombardia: a late report (l-o-n-g) and plans Hi Jihba. I can add something on Parma which you might find helpful. Personally I would give Trattoria Santa Chiara a miss. The food is decent but it's a bit soulless and geared to tourists/business visitors. There are better restaurant options in the centre e.g Cocchi, La Greppia, La Forchetta. Tribunale, Antica Cereria, Osteria del 36, Osteria del Gesso and Il Norcino are less formal and the food is reliable. There's also a great Sardinian place, Sa Marjoga, if you fancy a rest from tortelli. For me, the better options are outside the city. As well as Mariella's, da Ivan, Ardenga etc there is Trattoria Milla in Sala Baganza (15 mins by car), which is wonderful - they do a very good guanciale in vino rosso and the cooked-to-order zabaione is incredible. You will be strong-armed into sampling the home-made digestivi on your way out. Antichi Sapori is also well worth the 10-minute drive as is Ai Due Platani. Of course, as you have discovered, the out-of-town places may not be be open on Christmas Eve. Good luck. Some lnks: Regarding your question below about dried porcini, you will find them easily in Parma. The porcini from Borgo val di Taro, 60km from the city, are regarded as the best in the region. Look for the "Borgotaro" label or buy them loose in town. |
Seeking Advice for Parma and Environs Sorry, but another thought. If you are going to the afternoon performance at the Teatro, why not head out of town for your evening meal? E.g. Mariella's (maybe a bit far), Ai Due Platani in Coloreto or Antichi Sapori in Gaione. |
Seeking Advice for Parma and Environs Hi chowtraveler. I wouldn't bother with Stella D'Oro. If you're in the Soragna area, Osteria Ardenga is a much better bet. In Parma, Angiol D'Or seems to have gone downhill and there are not really any trattorie that stand out. However, La Greppia, Antica Cereria and Osteria del 36 are usually reliable. Good luck. |
Need help deciding which airport to fly into... Hi Jazzy K, I have just caught up with this thread and can only add that if you decide to go to Locanda Mariella you shouldn't miss the Black Truffle Fair in Calestano Fragno, which runs from mid-October to early November. |
Need a countryside restaurant between Parma and Bologna Or try this place in Rubbiara (careful with those spellings...), just north of Modena |
Restaurant Recommendations in Parma Unfortunately a lot of the trattorie in Parma have become quite bland and uninspiring. If you want to experience good local cooking in an authentic atmosphere I would suggest that you get out of town (but not necessarily too far), although I guess you're asking about places in town because you won't have a car. However, if you do have wheels or your budget stretches to a couple of short taxi rides it's worth heading to Trattoria da Romeo (in Botteghino, 10 mins from Parmal; tel: 0521 641167), Trattoria Milla (Sala Baganza, 15 mins; http://www.trattoriamilla.it/), or Antichi Sapori (Gaione, 10 mins; 0521648165). Il Granaio (10 mins; 0521 804110) in Lemignano was recommended to me by a local couple but I haven't got round to visiting yet. A bit further out in Fragnolo di Calestano is the fantastic Locanda Mariella (20 mins: 0525 52102). In town, the Tribunale and Sorelle Picchi have both changed hands recently but the food is still very good. Over the river in the Oltretorrente is the Antica Cereria, which has a lovely vaulted dining room and reliable parmigiano cooking. Bring an extra case for the parmigiano-reggiano and culatello... |
looking for north Italy agriturismo with great food/wine Emilia Romagna is definitely a good bet. The bassa area north of Parma has plenty of places that meet your criteria i.e. wonderful food and a room to crash afterwards. Be aware though: in August it will be HOT. These three are all excellent: Trattoria la Buca (Zibello) http://www.trattorialabuca.com/iPhone... Antica Corte Pallavicina (Polesine Parmense )Osteria Ardenga (Soragna). No rooms If you don't mind a slightly longer drive I would suggest that you head for the Langhe area of Piedmont. It is stunningly beautiful and has the best wine and food on the planet. I'm not exaggerating; it's a fact. There are some well regarded agriturismi around Monforte d'Alba, which is a good base for exploring the area. To stay: La Torricella To eat: Trattoria della Posta http://www.trattoriadellaposta.it/ Osteria dei Catari |

In the 2000 census, the county had a population of 126,518. The two largest population centers are Eureka, the county seat, and the smaller college town of Arcata, home to Humboldt State University. Both cities are located adjacent to Humboldt Bay, California's second largest natural bay.[2] Area cities and towns are known for hundreds of ornate examples of Victorian architecture. Humboldt County is also widely known for its cultural attributes associated with the cultivation and proliferation of marijuana. Growers of relatively small amounts around 99 plants and up to 3 pounds are protected under county guidelines for medicinal use under the auspices of California Proposition 215 (1996). David Samuels of The New Yorker describes the county as "the heartland of highgrade marijuana farming in California."[10] The 2008 independent film Humboldt County centers on the county's marijuana cultivation subculture. Humboldt is a densely forested, rural county situated in Northern California's rugged Coast (Mountain) Ranges. With nearly 1,500,000 acres (6,100 km2) of combined public and private forest in production, Humboldt County accounts for twenty percent of the total forest production for all of California.[3] The county contains over forty percent of all remaining old growth Coast Redwood forests,[4] the vast majority of which is protected or strictly conserved within dozens of national, state, and local forests and parks, totaling approximately 680,000 acres (over 1,000 square miles).[5] History The original inhabitants of the area now known as Humboldt County include the Wiyot, Yurok, Hupa, Karuk, Chilula, Whilkut, and the southern Athabascans, including the Mattole and Nongatl.[6] Andrés de Urdaneta hit the coast near Cape Mendocino, California, then followed the coast south to Acapulco in 1565. Spanish traders made unintended visits to California with the Manila Website: www.co.humboldt.ca.us 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Galleons on their return trips from the Philippines beginning in 1565. Humboldt County was formed in 1853 from parts of Trinity County. The first recorded entry by people of European origin was a landing by the Spanish in 1775.[6] The county derived its name from Humboldt Bay. The first recorded entry of Humboldt Bay by non-natives was an 1806 visit from a sea otter hunting party from Sitka employed by the Russian American Company.[6] The hunting party included Captain Jonathan Winship, an American, and some Aleut hunters.[6][7] The bay was not visited again by people of European origin until 1849 when Josiah Gregg's party visited.[7] In 1850, Douglas Ottinger and Hans Buhne entered the bay, naming it Humboldt in honor of the great naturalist and world explorer, Baron Alexander von Humboldt. The area around Humboldt Bay was once solely inhabited by the Wiyot Indian tribe. One of the largest Wiyot villages, Tolowot, was located on Gunther Island (AKA Indian Island and AKA Bloody Island) in Humboldt Bay. Founded circa 900, it contains a shell midden 6 acres (24,000 m²) in size and 14 feet (4 m) deep. It was the site of the February 26, 1860 massacre of the Wiyot people that was recorded by Bret Harte, then living in Union, now called Arcata. Between 60 and 200 Wiyot men, women, and children were murdered that night. In 1998, musician Frank Black wrote and recorded a song about this event, called "Humboldt County Massacre." Tolowot is now an archaeological site, designated Gunther Island Site 67, and is a National Historic Landmark.[7] State historic landmarks in Humboldt County include Trinidad Head, Fort Humboldt, The Old Arrow Tree, Centerville Beach Cross, Camp Curtis, the Town of Trinidad, the City of Eureka, California's first drilled oil wells in Petrolia, the Jacoby Building, the Old Indian Village of Tsurai in Trinidad, the Arcata and Mad River Railroad Company, the Humboldt Harbor Historical District, and the town of Ferndale.[7] On February 5 and February 6, 1885, Eureka's entire Chinese population of 300 men and 20 women were expelled after a gunfight between rival Chinese gangs (tongs) resulted in the wounding of a 12 year old boy and the death of 56 year old David Kendall, a Eureka City Councilman. After the shooting, an angry mob of 600 Eurekans met and then Humboldt County, California informed the Chinese that they were no longer wanted in Eureka and would be hanged if they were to stay in town longer than 3 p.m. the next day. They were put on two steamships and shipped to San Francisco. No-one was killed in the expulsion. Another Chinese expulsion occurred during 1906 in a cannery on the Eel River, in which 23 Chinese cannery workers were expelled after local loggers objected to their presence. However, some Chinese remained in the Orleans area, where some white landowners sheltered and purchased food for the Chinese mineworkers until after racial tension passed. Chinese did not return to the coastal cities until the 1950s.[8] Climate The coastal areas of the county experience wet, cool winters and dry, mild foggy summers. Winter highs usually range from the low 40s to the upper 50s, and winter lows on the coast usually range from the 40s into the 30s. The immediate coastal zone experiences a number of frosty nights in winter and early spring, though snowfall and hard freezes are rare. Winter rainstorms are frequent, with coastal areas averaging from 30 to 100 inches (2,500 mm) a year based on elevation. Summers on the coast are cool to mild, with highs typically in the 60's accompanied by periods of fog. Yet just 10 or 20 miles (32 km) inland one can find abundant sunshine and warmth. Thus coastal residents often head eastward in the summer to escape the gloomy cold summer fog. Summer highs range from the mid-50s to upper 60s, with lows in the upper 40s to mid-50s. Record highs at Woodley Island for most summer days are in the low to mid-70s. Inland areas of the county also experience wet, cool winters. Snowfall is common at elevations over 3,000 ft (910 m) throughout the winter months. The main climatic difference between inland areas and the coast takes place in the summer months. Inland parts of Humboldt County experience average highs from the 80s to 90s depending on the elevation and distance from the ocean. 100 degree days are also common in eastern parts of the county including Orleans, Hoopa, and Willow Creek during the summer. 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Humboldt County, California Forests • Headwaters Forest Reserve • Six Rivers National Forest • Trinity National Forest Wildlife refuge • Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge Geography According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 4,052 square miles (10,495 km²), of which, 3,572 square miles (9,253 km²) of it is land and 480 square miles (1,243 km²) of it (11.84%) is water.

Agriculture Humboldt County is known for its impressive redwood trees, and many acres of private redwood timberland make Humboldt the top timber producer in California. The lush river bottoms adjacent to the ocean are renowned for producing rich, high-quality dairy products. Somewhat more inland the warmer valleys have historically produced abundant apples and other fruit. More recently vineyards have been planted in the Trinity, Klamath, and upper Eel river valleys. Dairy Humboldt County is known for its quality family operated dairy farms.

Comments Thread For: SHO's Espinoza Praises Guerrero, Talks PPV Buys
Showtime Sports Executive Vice President Stephen Espinoza is pleased with his recent string of fights and believes that Saturday night fans will be in for another great one. He feels Guerrero will surprise boxing people and fans alike.
I think when you have a young, hungry champion who has faced adversity and has shown the ability to adapt and change styles, I dont think theres going to be a situation on Saturday that Robert Guerrero is not going to be prepared to handle," said Espinoza. "Hes a guy that people tend to underestimate a little bit and I dont think its warranted. [Click Here To Read More] |

Hope for Sam Rosebrock
An old friend of ours, Mark Rosebrock and his wife, Denielle Canova Rosebrock have a son, Sam, who has been battling neuroblastoma for a few years now, and he has been so brave. The band has talked about doing a benefit show for Sam for a couple of years now, and it just hasn't come together. With shows being so hit and miss these days, we were thinking of ways that we could help offset what has to be exhorbitant medical bills in a more meaningful way. The whole community …has rallied behind this beautiful little child, and thankfully, he appears to be in remission!
As most of you know, we have a new album coming out, so with his parent's permission, we have decided to donate $2 of every pre-sold CD to his family. It won't amount to a grand gesture, but we hope that it helps in some way, and that we can let this family know that they are loved and that we can't even imagine what they have been through. We are very fortunate to be able to do what we do, so this is just a token from A Course Of Action to say, we hope this is over for you now, Sam, and we hope from here on out, you can have a beautiful life.

Indie Anthems, Volume 10 welcomes ACOA
If you've been following us for awhile, you know that two years ago, we had the honor to go to Austin, TX, and play at an unofficial SXSW showcase on 6th street with Jivewired.com. Well, this year, we were hand-selected by Wifi PR Group to join their Indie Anthems series, Volume 10, that is taking 20 emerging artists to the actual SXSW conference via their download cards and press campaign and distributing a select single to the attendees. This is an awesome opportunity for us to be represented again at one of the largest events for undiscovered music in the nation.

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. - Motorists traveling south between the Pennsylvania Turnpike's Clarks Summit and Old Forge interchanges should expect a stretch of slow, single-lane traffic through at least April 5.
The traffic restrictions are part of the $16 million project to remove and replace the concrete deck and structural steel on the bridge over Northern Boulevard in South Abington Twp., the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission said.
The speed limit through the work zone will be 35 mph.
Traffic patterns can quickly change, and motorists should stay alert for slow-moving or stopped traffic approaching the construction zone from both directions, said Mimi Doyle, a turnpike commission spokeswoman.
Construction will impact the traffic flow in both directions through the fall of 2016, when the project is scheduled to wrap up.

The Economic Growth of Singapore: Trade and Development in the Twentieth CenturyThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the economic development of Singapore, easily the leading commercial and financial centre in Southeast Asia throughout the twentieth century. This development has been based on a strategic location at the crossroads of Asia, a free trade economy, and a dynamic entrepreneurial tradition. Initial twentieth-century economic success was linked to a group of legendary Chinese entrepreneurs, but by mid-century independent Singapore looked to multinational enterprise to deliver economic growth. Nonetheless exports of manufactures accounted for only part of Singaporean expansion, and by the 1980s Singapore was a major international financial centre and leading world exporter of commercial services. Throughout this study Dr Huff assesses the interaction of government policy and market forces, and places the transformation of the Singaporean economy in the context of both development theory and experience elsewhere in East Asia. |
What people are saying - Write a review
User Review - Flag as inappropriate
This is an excellent review of Singapore from an economic development perspective, full of relevant statistics and in-depth analysis. If Huff would consider a new edition to the present time, which has revealed new stresses on Singapore as well as indications of limitations of its long-held economic (and political) convictions, that would be to everyone's benefit. I am thankful to Huff for his efforts.

X Factor season 2 winner, Tate Stevens, released his first single today "Holler If You're With Me." and if your thing is red solo cup waving, drankin' and hollerin' to country music, then this song is for you. We'll see if Tate can break through on country radio with this rather generic offering.
The music video for the single, sponsored by Pepsi, will debut during Sunday's Grammy Awards telecast. Also, Tate reports that he is almost done with his album! He tweeted yesterday, "I wanted to say that the love you guys show me is awesome! I can't believe that I am almost done with my album! Love me some #tatenation"
He may release sooner than that Season 1 winner. Oh what's her name? Melanie Amaro.

Sivalingam, G and Madras, Giridhar (2002) Kinetics of Degradation of Polycarbonate in Supercritical and Subcritical Benzene. In: Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research, 41 (22). pp. 5337-5340.

The degradation kinetics of polycarbonate (Poly (bisphenol A carbonate)) in supercritical and subcritical benzene was studied at various temperatures (523-618 K) at 50 atm. The degradation was also investigated in other solvents at 573 K and 50 atm. The time evolution of molecular weight distribution (MWD) was obtained by gel permeation chromatography and modeled with continuous distribution kinetics to obtain the degradation rate coefficients. The activation energy, determined from the temperature dependence of the rate coefficient, increased from 16.7 kcal/mol to 20.4 kcal/mol from the sub-critical to supercritical region of solvent. The degradation rate coefficients at the supercritical conditions were an order higher than the rate coefficients at subcritical conditions, indicating enhanced degradation at supercritical conditions. The Arrhenius plot showed a break at the supercritical transition point whereas the semi-logarithmic plot of rate coefficients with density of the reaction mixture showed a continuous linear variation.

Breakfast options include muffins, bagels and eggs, while lunch runs to fat sandwiches (on good bread, of course), salads, homemade soups and entrées such as half-moon ravioli or baked spaghetti pie. |

Championship leaders Cardiff left it deep into injury time to snatch a point in a 1-1 home draw with Leicester. Rudy Gestede headed a dramatic equaliser, two minutes into stoppage time, as the late-goal specialists spared their blushes to stay four points clear of Hull.
Thursday, 14 March, 2013, 4:27amManchester City manager Roberto Mancini has conceded that his side may have surrendered their Premier League title in Saturday's embarrassing 3-1 defeat to Southampton.
29 Aug 2013 - 4:13amFabulous three-course banquet at United's home couldn't stop thoughts from turning to the disquieting state of the beautiful game.
2 Feb 2013 - 4:01amThere was time when we fans used to chant in protest against a lousy manager and demand his sacking. If the poor results continued and the team nose-dived, the board gave the impression of listening and duly gave the underperforming coach the boot. That was the simple past and we all knew where we stood.
26 Jan 2013 - 4:29amTiger Woods missed the cut at the Abu Dhabi Championship yesterday after being penalised two shots for wrongly thinking he had a free drop after his golf ball became entangled in weeds.
19 Jan 2013 - 3:22amRafael Benitez says Chelsea's defensive problems are the reason for their failure to beat struggling Southampton and admits skipper John Terry remains a major doubt for the weekend clash with Arsenal.
18 Jan 2013 - 4:27amRafael Benitez sees no reason why strikers Demba Ba and Fernando Torres cannot play together after Ba scored two goals on his debut as Chelsea crushed Southampton 5-1 in the FA Cup.
With Torres watching on from the bench at St Mary's, Senegal international Ba took just 35 minutes to score his first Chelsea goal - a feat that took the Spaniard 14 games and two and a half months.
7 Jan 2013 - 3:10amChelsea striker Demba Ba made an instant impact with two goals on his debut as the FA Cup holders romped to an emphatic 5-1 victory at Southampton in the third round on Saturday.
6 Jan 2013 - 12:05pmArsenal manager Arsene Wenger expressed frustration with his side's inconsistency and criticised their mental sharpness after they needed an own goal to snatch a draw from Southampton only three days after beating Newcastle United 7-3.
But he confirmed that his search for a remedy would not include bringing back the club's former striker, Thierry Henry, for a second comeback season.
3 Jan 2013 - 3:27amWho would want to be Southampton manager Nigel Adkins this weekend? Down on the south coast of England and ahead of a must-win game against Swansea today, the boss of the EPL basement club is, to coin a term (and borrow heavily from the 1995 Sean Penn Hollywood hit Dead Man Walking), a sacked manager working.
10 Nov 2012 - 3:09amNigel Adkins insists Southampton are ready to make their mark on the Premier League after securing their first win of the season with a 4-1 thrashing of Aston Villa.
Prior to the rout at St Mary's, promoted Saints had lost their opening four games and were rooted to the bottom of the table.
24 Sep 2012 - 2:25amHat-trick hero Robin van Persie was quick to salute Paul Scholes after the duo inspired Manchester United to a dramatic 3-2 victory against Southampton.
Van Persie took his tally to four goals in two starts for United since his £24 million (HK$295.2 million) move from Arsenal, with his stoppage-time winner at St Mary's taking him to 100 Premier League goals.
4 Sep 2012 - 3:46amManchester City striker Sergio Aguero sought to calm fears over the extent of a knee injury he sustained in the champions' opening 3-2 Premier League home win over Southampton.
The Argentine striker, whose last-gasp goal against Queens Park Rangers sealed the title for City in dramatic fashion in May, was carried off on a stretcher after 13 minutes of the match.
21 Aug 2012 - 1:39amSouthampton, Crystal Palace, Norwich and West Brom are still fighting frantically to avoid the dreaded drop
Chelsea have long since drained any drama out of the battle for supremacy in the English Premiership, but it is a different story at the bottom of the table.

LOL - DAYS is in last place in everything except 18-34 and Male Viewers, and BOY do they deserve it! This relaunch has been an EPICLY BORING FAILURE and these numbers bring a smile to my face! MarDar = You deserve this! Edited by Mitchapalooza, Nov 3 2011, 05:30 PM.
james0479 | Nov 3 2011, 06:32 PM Post #4 |
Well, Days seems to be holding steady with that 1.7 for the most part. November sweeps will be interesting. They need to at least take over GH's spot.....that shouldn't be too hard. Had the Days reboot started off with a literal bang, these numbers may be better. Amp it up, Days!! |
Kevc1980 | Nov 3 2011, 06:34 PM Post #5 |
They did go up in Demos though. That is what is most important in NBC's eyes..I think the ratings will increase when the action starts next week. |
james0479 | Nov 3 2011, 06:38 PM Post #6 |
It's interesting seeing only 5 soaps in the list and knowing it will only be four come the new year. Geez |
james0479 | Nov 3 2011, 06:39 PM Post #7 |
I think so as well. I HOPE so! The November ratings will be interesting to watch. |
lilkatie24 | Nov 3 2011, 06:43 PM Post #8 |
I've been saying that Days ticked off a lot of viewers with the firings and they did gain viewers with Marlena, John and Carrie Austin but not enough to balance out the viewers they lost. |
dc cubs | Nov 3 2011, 06:45 PM Post #9 |
GH usually has some good sweeps stunts so I will be surprised if Days can overtake them. The problem with Days is that they have just lost a lot of viewers who were bored to death. I'm not so sure they will come back for sweeps. |
james0479 | Nov 3 2011, 06:51 PM Post #10 |
That is my concern as well. While I appreciate the clean slate MarDar attempted to create, I'm afraid viewers found the show too slow, too "talky" with not enough action or excitement. The PR team did a fabulous job advertising the changes, however....it was a bit slow and we lost some viewers after the first week of the reboot. That PR team needs to do the same job they did promoting the reboot to promote Sweeps. The show isn't bad at all but it's not where it should be right now. I feel it is getting there but the climb has been a bit slow. |
lysie | Nov 3 2011, 07:00 PM Post #11 |
I need them to lose in larger numbers so we can have another PTSD and move on with our lives. |
JDeveraux_91 | Nov 3 2011, 07:59 PM Post #12 |
I'm not surprised at all by these. MarDar need to wake up and realize that telling the same boring stories that we've already seen over and over, pushing the gag inducing Dannifer on us, and having Maggie Horton running around going "Where's my child???" amongst a whole other bunch of shit is not the way to win viewers. I think they've ticked off a lot of people with this absurd history rewrite where Maggie's stolen eggs from a storyline 20 years ended up producing a 45 year old man who's also a character many find disgusting. Keep pushing the same crap MarDar and you may never get above a 1.7 again! |
lysie | Nov 3 2011, 09:20 PM Post #13 |
Friday has the lowest rating, but it's not the smallest audience. Interesting. |
LuvingLumi | Nov 3 2011, 09:46 PM Post #14 |
5. DAYS 2,351,000 (-42,000/-73,000) The bolded is the number they are probably looking at closely. When comparing this to when the show started sucking about the spring or so of 2010, you'll see they haven't gained ONE viewer since Feb of 2010, not ONE....and lost an additional 73K viewers since this week last year....that is AWFUL in my book. I did a little research....Look just how quickly Days dropped from their gains in 2009...2009 ended on a pretty good note: Look at the weekly gain for the week ending Jan 1 2010: 3. DAYS 3,254,000 (+444,000/-28,000) and #3 in HH...not even the reboot got them 400K viewers for that one week.... By Feb they were at this number: 3. DAYS 3,275,000 (-50,000/+258,000) and in HH at # 3. DAYS 2.3/7 (same/+.3) Still pretty good and now look what happened below, about a month after (wk of March 15) by then Mel had already married Philip, Lucas left to HK, Nicole was in jail, Ej was playing house with Sami in the townhouse and Rafe was in South America: 3. DAYS 2,838,000 (-96,000/-148,000), still at #3 in total viewers but they dropped some pretty big numbers, but more importantly they had ALREADY started losing viewers when compared to the year prior. By April 19, they were already at #4 in total viewers, still dropping: 4. DAYS 2,506,000 (-57,000/-394,000), but look at the second number, in 2009 Days had almost 400K more viewers this week than they got in 2010... by July Days would be at #5 in total viewers and tying an all time low (at that point) of 1.8 in HH by the week of October they'd be at total viewers 2,424,000 (-107,000/-535,000) So with this reboot that was given so much importance and PR, with all these big name vet returns, with the promise of fresh and exciting story lines, they haven't even been able to gain 1, not even 1 viewer guys and they have managed to lose an additional 73K viewers when comparing them to the numbers they had in 2010.....it's pathetic. I personally feel that Days should have bought back Jarlena, Jack and Lucas ONLY, no Caustin, no stunt casting of no name celebs like the Millionaire matchmaker and Burkes or Perez Hilton or anything else...no need for Billie Reed to swing by for no reason. No need for Dan or Mel to be given THIS much importance while characters like Justin and Adrienne with mayor family in Salem get shoved to the background. Why haven't we seen more of Adrienne and her brother? Why haven't we see them interacting more with Sonny? Why bring Caustin back for a redux of a quad that was bad in 2006 with a much better actor and someone with actual ties to the canvas playing the 'Rafe' part....Days doesn't learn, seriously they don't. Edited by LuvingLumi, Nov 3 2011, 09:47 PM.
lysie | Nov 3 2011, 09:52 PM Post #15 |
I don't really understand why they did the stunt casting anyway. Nate Berkus's appearance was the only one promoted. |
LuvingLumi | Nov 3 2011, 10:04 PM Post #16 |
Half of the crap they have done makes absolutely no sense.....the HTS dedication should have ended with a huge explosion or a shooting, that would have left an aura of mystery, something to solve in addition to John's case...if they wanted to bring back John and Marlena with this embezzling case, then why not have this shooting that is taking place next week, take place when they have John arrested....let someone that is angry take a shot at John...have one of the kids go missing then....then have the Jack return folded into the shooting have him get arrested for the shooting, have Jen see him....something differen...the returns were underwhelming to begin with but they have Jack fall on the cake to give us some comic relief I guess and they have all the stories starting off so slow when they could have started with one bang, then another and another....had a small lull in October and start up again for sweeps now....dumb asses. I'll say this, if it wasn't solely for Jack's return, I'd be gone again....he has me captivated and the worse part is that Jennifer Rose is having issues and has decided to date both Jack and Dan...that alone makes me vomit. |
happy | Nov 3 2011, 11:09 PM Post #17 |
Totally agree!! Wasted opportunity. They had a lot of people tune in that first week of reboot. Wish they had done something like the Metro Hostage story at General Hospital years ago. Huge umbrella story with riveting drama. Would allow for a lot of angst for loving couples and opportunities for heroics. Also, I don't understand how EJ could even think he could run for mayor. Jack had to give up his political ambitions because of the accusation of raping his wife. How could EJ run for office with all his criminal allegations? And why isn't the press asking about that?! Also, he and Nicole would have to put on the happy couple routine. Don't understand why he went to the party with millionaire matchmaker. Abe and Lexie should be talking up family values - going after EJ for being married to an ex porn star and convicted felon. Dirty politics but true to how politics work in real life. Real life politics is more interesting than DOOL's mayor story. :sleep: Won't even discuss egg story and website story. :moon: Hate Dannifer/bachelorette story. Jack's PTSD story line is the ONLY Story that interests me. I hope writers show him traumatized but not pathetic. Appreciate AZ and JS working their asses off to make their badly written scenes as interesting and layered as possible. Edited by happy, Nov 4 2011, 09:44 PM.
aellabelaza | Nov 4 2011, 04:04 AM Post #18 |
ICAM, if TPTB weren't able to set-up stories because they wanted the characters back in Salem immediately, then story needed to start off with a bang or some hardcore action of some sort. I know it's been said but I think the reboot has been ineffective thus far because the show tapes so far ahead which made TPTB unable to set up their current stories. IMO if you're re-introducing characters and playing non-action stories (such as the pension story), there desperately needs to be a set-up that previews POV from both sides of the story before they are thrown into the fire of conflict, otherwise you have a story with no stakes and have no reason to care what happens. I also think the writing has been hurt because their hands are tied with the amount of money they can spend on sets. We have instances now where John is stuck under house arrest, and it slows down an already slow story even more, since the character in the middle of the story can't go anywhere. Or you get instances, where characters, like Carrie/Austin are shacking up in weird 'Three's Company' style with Rafe/Sami. It bums me out that DOOL hasn't been able to make the pieces fit in terms of stories, because this is the one show that seems to have most of their longtime, popular characters (played by their original portrayers) still intact and frontburner. Or they're not completely decimated beyond being fixable (egg baby stuff aside, lol). |
LilMikeyK | Nov 4 2011, 04:51 AM Post #19 |
The way it looks to me is the show has been in decline since they forced Carly and Bo on us. As they started heating up on screen the ratings started dropping. Take that to Twitter CC and Nellie boy. |

Not this GH, Garin Wolf is a dull writer and sucks at pacing. If it's more of the long, drug out JaSam honeymoon and Franco, I doubt GH will get any kind of ratings for sweeps Edited by chickymonkey, Nov 4 2011, 05:03 AM.

Waldorf Astoria. November 12, 2011. By Jennifer Vineyard
Since this is called 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson's,' did anything funny happen to you guys on your way here? "Yeah! A terrible amount of traffic. And there was lots of bickering between my girls about garments and shoes." —TRACY POLLAN
Did anything funny happen to you on your way here? "Besides the fact that we were stuck in traffic? It took us twenty minutes to move a few blocks." —JULIANNA MARGULIES
Everyone's saying that the traffic was terrible coming here. "It was infuriating. The deal with traffic is, even though everyone is in the same boat, I just want to push them all out of the way, because it always seems like I've got something more important to do." —RICKY GERVAIS
I almost feel like I should congratulate you, since your character on The Good Wife finally got the big office, the promotion. "Ah, please do! Give me a hug!" —MATT CZUCHRY
Did anything funny happen to you on your way here? "My contact popped out in the car. This is not a commercial, but you know Acuvue throwaways? That's my lifesaver." —ELIZABETH BERKLEY
Everyone's talking about how much traffic there was coming here. "Yeah, we had so much time on the way here, we may have made another baby." —ALI WENTWORTH
Think we'll ever get to see a real hoverboard like the one in Back to the Future? "Bob Zemeckis once said that they actually existed, but that Mattel was pressured by the government safety groups not to release it � but that's all B.S. It was a pink piece of plastic they stapled to my shoe, and dangled me from wires." —MICHAEL J. FOX

I have been working at Altisource full-time (More than 3 years)
Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOPros
Pay is above industry average (for my field anyway). Lots of opportunities to learn about finance and mortgage industries.
Benefits are sub-par. 401k involves virtually no employer match, and is not available to employees in the first year; health insurance is not available until the first day of the month following 90 days of employment (so don't start work at the beginning of the month or you have to wait an additional month).
HR withholds information on organizational programs (I had to fight to get any information about the 401k, and all I ever received was the corporate agreement with John Hancock--not any official company policy.
Technology is outdated and withheld from employees- getting a computer less than 5 years old takes an act of Congress, and even then involves months of waiting and paperwork.
Selection is conducted based on questionable practices (inconsistently scored tests and unvalidated personality tests). Managers are actively discouraged from hiring employees scoring less than the top 5% of tests, regardless of the job.
Performance appraisals are required of all employees, but no guidance is provided about the performance dimensions employees are scored on, and managers are discouraged from giving anyone high ratings.Advice to Management
People are not replaceable resources-- you have to work to retain employees just as you do with customers. The money wasted on constant hiring and recruitment could be much more effectively spent on benefits and internal improvements to the organization.
If the company is going to market itself as an innovator, it must start from the inside. Why should anyone purchase technology products and services from a company that won't use those services itself or provide that technology to its employees?
Third, if you want to provide a variety of services, you need a variety of employees. Seeking out a single personality type will just cause conflicts, and result in a lot of people doing jobs they aren't suited for. Hire people based on the job, not based on some misinformed notion of what makes a generically-good employee. -
