Chianti Region Wine Tasting Half-Day Trip from Florence
Reviewed by: Brianne R, September 2014
This tour was amazing!
Reviewed by: Jason Q, August 2014
Do this tour! Bus ride to the vineyard isn't too long and the coach bus makes it an easy jaunt. You get a nice overview of the vineyard and winemaking process. However, it is by no means an in-depth tour of the vineyard. This tour really is a lot more about the wine tasting than it is about learning about the vineyard or winemaking. That being said, the wine tasting was awesome, as was the food! We're talking bottles on the table and giant plates full of really good snacks, all paired perfectly by the lovely guide/employee of the vineyard! By the time the bus leaves the vineyard, you will be full, you will be tipsy and you will have made some great new friends. The majority of the group on our tour decided to forego any exploration of the capital town of the Chianti region that they bring you to after the vineyard, instead preferring to visit the local wine shop for more wine tasting. This was quite enjoyable and recommended, unless you're a big history buff, to whom I might recommend wandering the town instead. We met so many awesome people on this tour, some of whom we spent the rest of the night eating dinner and gelato and drinking with. It really was one of the utmost highlights of our time in Florence and I am so glad we chose to do this tour!

This was an awesome tour. We did this towards the end of our honeymoon stay in Florence and it was worth every penny (Euro, I should say). The wine was great, the trip was scenic and fabulous and the people on the tour were very pleasant.

At Wanderlust Whistler I was introduced to many new ideas and concepts, and one that has really stuck with me was a class called 'Chi Running.' The description touted the method as a style of movement to cut out injury, improve speed, and increase distance. We ran around Lost Lake, learning the basic principles and putting them into practice. The short introduction has entirely changed the way I run, and I can already attest to the ease it has introduced, improving my ability to go long distances. Read more »

Thank you for this article! Having suffered from knee pains and lower back pains from injuries, I've been reluctant to get back out onto the pavement but this has been the little push I needed. So excited to try out these tips! Love, Regina

from the top hat, in honor of you-know-what-day-it-is: How can someone who likes sex and affection [like you, Emily] be so content being single? Well, to start with, being single neither necessitates nor implies being without sex or affection. But let's assume the question means something like, "Don't you get lonely? Don't you get horny? Don't you wish you were in a relationship?" From my point of view, the question is asking how I get the things a relationship offers, without a relationship. So let's think in an organized way about what we give and receive in relationships. I tend
why do we fall for people who are bad for us?
It's the questions about relationships that break my heart. A lot of sex questions can be resolved simply by giving an answer: no, you can't get addicted to your vibrator; no, there are no ill health consequences related to masturbation, only ill health consequences related to shame about masturbation; yes, if you're on hormonal birth control it's safe (like 95% safe) for your partner to ejaculate inside you, but if you'd like to back up with a condom, that's cool too; yes, Saran wrap is actually effective as a dam during cunnilingus – but only the regular kind, not the
other father – aka "look at me"
I've been thinking about eye contact. Seen Coraline? LYRICS: Making up a song about Coraline, She's a peach, she's a doll, she's a pal o' mine. She's as cute as a button in the eyes of everyone who ever laid their eyes on Coraline! When she comes around exploring Mom and I will never ever make it boring – Our eyes will be on Coraline! Now the "eye" thing is part of the story – in the alternative world, everyone has buttons for eyes. But what's compelling about the idea of button eyes, anyway, and of having eyes on someone?
Occam and attachment
Speaking of attachment… You guys, there are things I don't know. I bump into brand new stuff – even stuff I think ought to have known before – pretty regularly. Example: Clelia Mosher's work was unknown to me until a couple months ago. So I'm absolutely certain that there are plenty of things that I'll learn in the future and plenty of things that I'll feel like I ought to have known before. But here is something I've never heard before, from our old friend the Evolutionary Agony Aunt that just sounds like… well… total bullshit: Human behaviour seems to
attachment styles – a primer
How can it be that I've never done a post about attachment styles? I talk about it all the time with students – it's useful stuff. It's the kind of thing that makes people go, "Why did no one tell me that 10 years ago?" Some background: the attachment system, as I said previously, is an adaptive mechanism whereby humans experience a social bond with others. It helps us survive infancy and it ties us to our adult romantic partners. The way we attach to others in adulthood is shaped by the way we are parented. There might also be
100th post: a letter to my favorite species
Dear Homo sapiens, Douglas Adams, my authorial hero, said, "The thing about evolution is, if it hasn't turned your brain inside out, you haven't properly understood it." Right on. I find it thrilling – I literally feel a physical thrill – when I consider what we are as a species, particularly what we are sexually. At the sex retreat I led a this winter, I actually cried, like the girly nerdy freak I am, while talking about the wonder that is the evolution of life on Earth. Embryology, man. Embry-fucking-ology. My point is this: Boiled down to our essence, we're
the honeymoon phase
By request: Is there a honeymoon phase? Does it end? Yes. And yes. The honeymoon phase is made of attachment, the wildly powerful biological experience we tend to call "falling in love." (I'm such a romantic, eh?) It can last, oh, maybe about 4 years, give or take. It has to end. That passionate phase is actually quite stressful – delicious and wonderful, but stressful, with its constantly heightened emotional state and the lack of sleep and the replacing food with sex. That shit can kill you! So yeah, it goes away – or, more accurately, it develops into something
In which Emily is right about attachment. And the Guardian is wrong. Um, again.
Oh Guardian Science, you make me feel like a critical mother. I'm licking my thumb to smear dirt off your cheek, I'm poking you between the shoulder blades to make you stand up straight, I'm suggesting that maybe your recital would have gone better if you had just practiced more like I told you. I'm sorry. I love you. But I expect more. I expect, in fact, at least two of the following: good science, good writing, good advice. Oh Guardian Science. So this week the Evolutionary Agony Aunt offers us two bits of advice. In the first… well gosh,

Awesome! Stayed in the winter room of the Plan De L'Aiguille Refuge, up and down to Chamonix in 10 hours. Great conditions, tonnes of nťvť (except on the hard bits) and a great route. Decided to climb the thin ice goulotte left of the pendulum pitch as it looked inviting. Even got some powder turns on the descent.Fultonius - AltLd O/S - 05/Apr/13 with Andy Inglis

Excellent conditions, with abundant and bomber neve which allowed us to move together for long sections and top out in 5:05. That said, we managed to go left after P3 for 2 pitches, then rappelled back onto the route, which we rejoined via 1P of interesting mixed. A nice variant all things considered! The final pitch was made easier by the fact that the normally bald slab which presents the famous leftward traverse, had some ice on it. We rappelled the entirety of the route.

American Apparel ad "sexualises" children
A magazine ad for fashion retailer American Apparel has been slammed by the Advertising Standards Authority for sexualising children.
The watchdog banned the ad, which featured a half-naked young-looking girl in a number of poses, because it could be seen to "sexualise a model who appeared to be a child under the age of 16".
As a result, the ASA concluded that the advertisement "could cause serious offence to some readers".
"While the ad depicted only partial nudity, we considered that the images were provocative with the model exposing progressively more skin in each photo in the series," the watchdog says.
American Apparel says the model was 23 and disagreed that she looked under 16. The retailer argued that the ads did not portray the model as a "sex object" and were not "negative or exploitative".
The ASA did not uphold a separate complaint that the ad should not have appeared on the back of a free magazine, Vice, that could be seen by children.
The watchdog concluded that Vice's distribution meant it was unlikely to be seen by children.
Readers' comments (3)
She doesn't look like a kid to me. She looks like a young adult.
She looks young to me. What is even more disturbing is on their website there are a collection of ads - and they make this look tame. Don't know how they get away with it. The models may be older, but they look mid-teens in most of them
This is typical AA clutching at straws comparing their ad to the David Beckham underwear ad. Many female models pose in underwear and that is not the issue as many fashion retailers who are trying to advertise underwear will hire underwear models, whether they be males or females. M&S are a typical example of how this can be done in a tasteful manner, having have seen the images AA claim are what friends show on social networking sites they clearly have friends in the sex industry as I have never come across nudity on any of the 800+ friends I have on my social networking sites.

A R T + K I D S : Sketchbooks When I was growing up my mom bought us good sketchbooks with one strict rule: never tear a page out of the sketchbook.
I am so grateful to have all those years of sketchbooks to look back on now. It's fun to see the evolution of creativity from elementary school, high school and college years.
I have the same rule with my kids and their sketchbooks have become a go-to during down time, when they want some time to themselves. Their sketchbooks are their own personal journey. Nothing has to be perfect. Ever. Yet, it's amazing to see the beautiful work that comes out of them. I believe in investing in good quality materials once they are ready to hold a pencil and you no longer have to worry about the hazards of pointed pens and pencils.
I love Canson's 8 1/2" x 11" basic black bound sketchbooks. These have hard covers and have a high quality acid free paper that lasts over time, and takes all sorts of dry media nicely (pencil, colored pencils, markers). For materials, I love to have the following on hand: - colored pencils: I love Prismacolor - they are soft, provide vibrant color, and can blend. These aren't cheap so I keep them stashed away when not in use. - water-based markers, such as Stabilo. These may be water-based but they don't wash out of clothes or furniture, so be mindful of location for these ones. - for children 8 and up, I love Micron pens in various widths from .03 to .08. These are great to use instead of pencils to teach them to commit to their line. We don't want little eraser fiends. Happy accidents are a great thing in art, and working in pen frees them up and teaches them the confidence to just go with it.

Every child is born as a fearless creative. As self awareness take over, this inner creative spirit can get quashed over time. I am a creative by nature (and by trade), but am also a working mom, so nurturing this inner creative in my own children too often takes a back seat to all of the "urgent" minutiae in our daily life.
I have been trying to cultivate times of stillness in our routine, and using some of these times for simple creation. I went to the grocery store last night (which doubled as a few moments of rare alone time) and was surprised and thrilled to see the dining room table set up with paints, paper and brushes. These 4 masterpieces awaited me when I arrived home.
Each Friday I will try to bring tips that I use to cultivate times of stillness and creativity to nurture these little artists.

It hurts as I type this now…
Where the tear drops fall are where these words spill.
Of course, that'll never happen for me. He calls another girl beautiful and I'm supposed to feel okay…
I don't want forever with a jerk and his lies.
He says I bring up BS, but it's also he who yells and doesn't know how to calmly talk to me. There's no love there at all.
Because you've hurt me far too much.
Because facing reality without you here is just too painful for me.
I hope you know that.
But you're not here…

These Humorous Lyric poems are examples of Lyric poems about Humorous. These are the best examples of Humorous Lyric poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
He's out of my life
Because he's got a wife
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
If I see him now I'd whack him in the eye
But if I had a knife
I'd pass it on to his wife
He would hold my hands
We'd make love on the sands
To think for two years he was here
He had the best of both worlds now he lives in fear
So I better not expand
Or I'll soon be on remand!
So I've learned that I'm not his possession
And I've learned that this guy I hate
Now he's gone and I've got depression
But I've learned too late
He's out of my life
Gone back to his wife
Guess I loved him but found out he lied
If I get my hands on him I'll end up inside
And it cuts like a knife
But the rat is out of my life
Jan Allison
10th August 2014
There was a Starship Enterprise,
It was the ruler of the skies,
But you don't really care for sci-fi, do you?
With Captain Kirk
And Mr Spock
And don't forget the trademark jock,
And there upon the bridge you'll find Uhura
Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura
Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura
You'll find Bones Macoy down in sickbay,
"I'm a doctor Jim" he'd say,
And cure whatever space bug ran through you,
He'll banish away every cough,
Even if your name's Chekov,
Or perhaps you might be sweet Uhura
Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura
Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura
To make the starship up and go,
The man you really need to know,
Is the Helm officer called Sulu,
But if it's a message you'd like to send,
Then of course you can depend,
Upon the talented Miss Uhura,
Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura
Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura
Your voyage lasted three short years
But despite the trekkie's fears,
It wouldn't be the last time that we'd view you,
Of feature films there'd be twelve,
Before the franchise they would shelve,
But we won't forget you dear Uhura
Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura
Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura
Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura
Oh Uhura, Oh Uhura
Oh Uhura
Inspired by another poem by another poet---------just for fun
Oh, I didn't know that cowboys
weren't respected and revered
John Wayne, when he passed away
Brought me close to tears
But now I know that people
Think we're all just trailer trash
So I've taken of my boots
And tossing out my hats
There's no more eating beans
upon these dirty plates
And movin' from this trailer park
Oh brother I can wait
But, putting cars on blocks
Oil changes in the yard
Stopping those activities
I swear it will be hard
Beer cans won't get piled high
In a pyramid, way out back
My pit bulls won't be barkin'
Always ready to attack
Soon I'll trade-in my pick-up
For a brand new SUV
And I'll become more citified
For the whole dang world to see
I won't mistreat my woman
And call her an old cow
And I won't let my kid's
Ride a bull, or catch a sow
Oh, I didn't know that cowboys
Were just lazy and no good
So we're moving from the country
Right to your neighborhood
I bring hit after hit like a boxer
You haters' inconsistent
Everybody's on the same vibe
Mine's kinda' different
Verse hot, hook hot--
I'm gon' sellout soon as I drop
Verse hot, hook hot--
I'm gon' sellout soon as I drop
Minor in poetry, fine-arts major
Doctor goon on deck, call this a fear-factor
I'm going in, but I ain't got no curfew
I son a lot of you, it's like I birth you
Got a lot of verses, but this ain't a Bible
Fallout when you hear this, I ain't liable
Ain't talking 'bout tearing, but the beats R.I.P
Didn't sell a lot of tracks, but I got D.O.E
Put you up on game, my hustle's M.O.E
Music over everything, ain't moving 'D'
I got cash like the bank, I sell CD's
Smells funny, tickled my nose, I might sneeze
You would think I'm water, the way I flow
I'm just like some dynamite, bound to blow
Act like you're in a recliner, lay back
If I ain't on fire, then why they say that?
Feature, feature, can I get a feature
So far ahead I sit on competition--bleacher
My Raps' like a bunch of apartment buildings, complex
Got chicks on my jock', ain't talking 'bout sex
I'm so different, it's magnificent
Haters want me to fall, but that's not how the script went
Thing's fishy, I ain't gettin' caught in that net
Just killed the beat, without breaking a sweat
A void of Facebook
Creativity dies here...
Marilyn Manson
No he wasn't a singer in Hanson
An ugly song about beautiful people he did pitch
The effort not in vain because he got rich
You know why I run game? It's 'cause I'm a player
I'm the night in shining armor, she's a dragon, I'm gon' slay her
That means when I beat it up, I'm gonna kill it
Tell her keep our business to herself, don't spill it
Can't follow directions, then it's on to the next
Hope you get the message, not talking 'bout a text
I sleep with more chicks than a night-gown
Without 'em I'm like a sentence with no noun
For those who don't know that means incomplete
It's a race to get 'em first, I gotta' compete
They wanna be on the team, tryin' to make the cut
True player, show no feelings, keep 'em in a shell, walnut
Females fill my atmosphere, they mean the world to me
I got damsels galore, it's always plural with me
Got gangs of chicks, which one should I bang
They're steady in my face, sort of like some bangs
Hate when they try to lock me down, I'm not in jail
She starts talking 'bout marriage, then I'm gonna bail
Sometimes I need my space, like a vacant lot
I hate being congested, like a nose filled with snot
Hey, stop bugging me, you startin' to act like a knat
Before you go, give me head, I need it like a hat
I'll tell you all a story
Tis one close to my heart
Has love, Has life, It has a cow
A haystack torn apart
The man in question?
Well that be me.
The setting?
Cheltenham Town
So gather all, come, sit around
My tale I shall tell
Oh the pastor's daughter Nelly
Now she was a lovely lass
Oh quick and witty as the lark
But stubborn as an ass
Her buxom form drove men insane
She let none of them know her name
And well she played them at their game
Did that there lovely lass
Now in that town there was a girl
Just where I used to work
Her Pa a Christian minister
Her Ma a moll did lurk
The cow they kept from nine till five
Was only just for show
Oh what a family they did keep
And now you all shall know
Well home came John the night before
A tad the worse for wear
He'd been with Nelly's ma he said
She'd legs just like a bear
We shivered and drew him up a pint
His story for to tell
when up he sprang and spilt the glass
A Wager! he did yell
Three and fifty pounds he cried
For the bra of lovely Nell
Brought to me by sunrise boys
Or the wager's gone to hell
Toward the door we all were bid
Each man was mustard keen
John he rubbed his hands he did
His plan was yet unseen
I quickly made for Craddock farm
Where I knew young Nell did sleep
So soon I came upon the barn
And so began to creep
The darkness swarmed around me
I couldn't see 'out all
Save a white and lacy garment
Residing by the stall
I moved to towards the brassieres
And felt the clasp behind
When skin touched skin
Dizzying, I thought I lost my mind
Then suddenly the loudest moo
Ye'll ever likely hear
did echo round the stable
and deafened my left ear
Out sprang Nell from the haystack
And slapped me well and good
The brassiered cow was most perturbed
And bolted for the wood
I stood in shock aghast to know
what a fool that I must look
When in walked Nelly's father
With aloft his holy book
So now I wander banished
From the town I called my own
The clergy all now hate me
Though I am not well known
You'll see me in the towns and pubs
With a wench or drink in hand
And so I'll end my tale right now
Go forth,strike up the band
Real Deal Woman
Now, honey don't you play around
You know that it ain't right
You be the man who brings to me
A man-size... Appetite
Don't need to go so fast
Just let me set the pace
Turn my green light into Red
There ain't No need to race
I'm all that you need
You've already won
I'm all that you need
I'm your real deal woman
It's something we got cooking
mix it till it hits the spot
because I'm full of loving
I'll keep it extra hot
You're fueling up my heartbeat
My engine starts to roar
Cos now it's time to show you
You don't need her anymore
I'm all that you need
You've already won
I'm all that you need
I'm your real deal woman
I'm all that you need
You've already won
I'm all that you need
I'm your real deal woman
A poem wrote by me, based on Person who is a deserving icon but still struggling hard with his career life and addressed as disturbed creature.
DISTURBED CREATURE--> Am I ?? BY Mrs.Madhavi Suyog Pagare
Am I so insane, Am I so mad,
Dramatic mood of mine is so die hard.
Destroyed my peace, Shattering my dreams,
People call me as disturbed creature.
As like mounting the pain, attenuating the drain!!
Digesting my feelings lying inside me,
Strangely nobody cared, call me sick.
Teasing me lavishly and my heart is pricked,
Hurted me like hell when addressed me as stupid.
As like showering rain, missing on the lane!!
Time lapse in journey of life,
Can hamper anybody on its path.
When I see innate reflex of mine,
I always use to brightly shine.
Though possessing every job attributes of mine,
I never thought the authorities will ditch and hamper my career line.
Falsely acting bloody swine, making my image as fade as wine.
As like affecting harmonious divine, my soul was, as is transparently pristine!!
Destroying me and testing my patience, Never wanna give up.
Transformed deviations, wanna rightly screw up.
I wanna raise up, I wanna shake up.
I wanna wake up, Tranquilize my mind.
Unzip the professional life compressed by the culprits.
Wanna explore myself, driving the motivated heights of journey.
Lastly waiting for the optimistic opportunity.
Cuffing the suspect ,I wanna rejoice by my pattern of life!!
with Suyog Pagare

Holding boards responsible
Critics and arts journalists are quick to hold artists responsible for the work they produce. They have an equal responsibility to hold governing boards of artistic organizations responsible for their management decisions, especially when non-profit boards have such immense control over what is done.
Lansing's professional resident theater, BoarsHead, recently laid off three employees (their education director, their general manager, and their carpenter) and changed a show mid-season to one with fewer actors after their board demanded they cut $150,000 to $200,000 in expenses. They were forced to do this despite the fact that they've been playing critically successful shows to full houses. Their budget had taken a short-fall due to the death of a donor and the reduction in state monies.
The president of their board, Larry Meyer, is a businessman who is the president of the Michigan Retailers Association. He appears to have little understanding of how an arts organization is distinct from a commercial business. In the coverage of these layoffs, I kept waiting for Meyer to be asked why, if BoarsHead is to be run like just another business, anyone should donate money to them? We wouldn't donate money to Wal-Mart so that they could increase market share. By showing a lack of commitment to the season and to artists, the board sends the message that money is more important than the art they create--which makes future donors less likely to give.
Also, why lay off the education director who has been bringing in grant moneys far in excess of his salary or the managing director who saves the theater money by hosting actors at her home and who has wide connections in the community?
At the NEA Institute, Ben Cameron talked about a society's need for the gift economy and the market economy to be in balance. Commercial businesses compose the market economy while artists, clergy, and teacher compose the gift economy. The two can't successfully be run the same.
When a board suddenly demands that a theater organization in the midst of a successful season change shows and staffing, there must be a reason more compelling than budget projections not hitting where expected. Nor is it healthy to have a board president whose response to creative suggestions is to threaten to shut the theater down if they refuse to comply with his draconian demands.
Unlike commercial businesses, theater and the arts are supposed to be the vehicle that invigorates the soul in our society. Their success is perilous if their fate is placed into the hands of businesspeople whose understanding of the bottom line eclipses their commitment to the arts.

JTCC welding students now earn industry certification
CHESTERFIELD - Students interested in learning welding at John Tyler Community College will now earn more than a college credential; they will also earn an important industry certification. That's because Tyler's Welding Program is now accredited at the Entry-Welder Level and Advanced-Welder Level by the American Welding Society (AWS) Schools Excelling through National Skills Standards Education (SENSE) program. This accreditation means students who now enter and successfully complete an Associate of Applied Science in Technical Studies, Welding Track; a Certificate in Welding; or a Career Studies Certificate in Welding at Tyler also will earn the AWS Entry-Welder certification. There are no additional fees for the AWS certification exam.
Students who complete Tyler's Welding Program and receive their AWS certification will have proficiency in safety, blueprinting and structural welding. They will also be eligible to register with AWS, the benefits of which include being listed in the AWS database, a site used by employers searching for qualified workers. To help students gain the skills needed for industry certification, Tyler has revamped its welding curriculum. Four new classes have been added and some class structures have been modified. To learn more about the programm, visit www.jtcc.edu/academics or contact Matthew Gross, instructor, at 804-706-5140 or email@example.com. To learn more about AWS, visit http://www.aws.org/w/a/.

Re: Orci strikes back
If Star Trek Into Darkness is getting back to Star Trek's actual roots I would have never been a Star Trek fan to begin with. If Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Chrystal Skull was the only Indiana Jones movie, I wouldn't be a fan of him. If the Star Wars prequels were the only Star Wars movies, I would hate Star Wars. And if Michael Bay's Transformers movies were the only version of Transformers, then I wouldn't have any interest in them.
I am getting sick and tired of these big budget dumb movies made for the lowest common denominator. Especially when movies like The Dark Knight, and Skyfall, have shown that not only do smart big budget movies do well, they do the best.

Re: Orci strikes back
I enjoyed The Dark Knight and Skyfall, but I can't say I'd call them "smarter" than STID. What made them "smarter"?
The lowest common denominator charge has been mentioned before, leveled at this film and ST09. What comprises this "lowest common denominator"?
The boring one, the one with Khan, the one where Spock returns, the one with whales, the dumb one, the last one, the one with Kirk, the one with the Borg, the stupid one, the bad one, the new one, the other one with Khan.

Just for curiosity's sake: when was it that you began watching Star Trek? What was your earliest experience of "Star Trek's actual roots," and how would you say that shapes your perspective on Star Trek as a whole?

All the fans who like intelligent, well-made, well-written, long running TV shows (with the occasional fun film) and aren't prepared to completely forget about TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT on one side.
And fans who like massive action sequences, CGI special effects and a 'modern' remake of a 1960s TV series on the other.

MrJ is essentially correct though. The Dark Knight Rises may not be a "smart" film in some people's eyes... but it was a lot less stupid than STID. And Avengers Assemble for that matter.

Re: Orci strikes back
The gist of the article basically is: if you want TOS movie level and TNG series level of quality, Abramstrek isn't made for you, and you are wrong for criticizing it because of that.

Re: Orci strikes back
See, I have this thing called "reason," and I employ it when other people try to create stereotypes about who they think is on each side of what. I even had a theoretical conversation with the concept, and it went like this:
I said to myself, "self, we love Star Trek as it has been known for the past 47 years, is that right?"
And self replied, "Yes, that's right."
To which I asked, "Are we really Trek fans?"
Self said, "Of course. We've watched it since we were 4. That was 29 years ago."
To which I replied, "But what about the new J.J. Abrams movies?"
To which self added, "We love them too!"
At this point I scratched my head and said, "but we can't like both!"
Self mused, "why the hell not?"
To which I replied, "because we are merely human, and lack the intellectual capacity to simultaneously enjoy things that are different."
At which time self stated, "who the fuck gave you that idea?"
To which I replied, "lots of Star Trek fans who insist that the movies were for dumb people who like explosions, while the series is for real fans who like thinking movies."
By which time self sighed and said, "So what you're saying is they forgot about all the stupid shit from the series and the movies that completely and utterly belied any sense of intellectualism and reason and instead groped for a cheap laugh or dramatic sting filled with overwrought dialogue and plodding storyline all in the name of self serving, self important, high concept dross."
"That would be the gist of it, yes," I replied.
Self smiled, "so why are we giving a fuck?"
At which point we both smiled, and stopped giving a fuck.
The End.

Client Dinner Near Metropark?
- c
- cambridgejen Jul 15, 2009 08:29 PM
I'm in search of good dining destinations for groups of 10+ clients, close to Metropark / Iselin / Edison. American or Italian fare would probably be ideal, and a decent wine list is a must. My searches have yielded many wonderful "foodie" options to check out on my own time, but no good safe options for wining and dining a large group with potentially less adventurous eaters. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Casa Giuseppe is a very good italian restaurant on Rt 27 that has been there for a long time. Have not been there in a few years. They do have a wine list. Definitely call Ahead for a larger party.
Not too far up Rt 27 is The Metuchen Inn.
Another place have not been to in a few years, but good.
They do have a wine list.
That being said, agree with the recommendation for Loucas, food exceeded expectations.
However, it might be BYOB. Remember carrying wine that day.
Our party of 20+ enjoyed a table out of the main dining area, on the main floor, quieter.
Hope this helps.
This is a toughie because so few restaurants in that area meet all your criteria.
First of all, LouCas is BYO. IF you are willing to take your own wine, I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant. As Shabby mentions, the food is good and you can request a table in the front room, which is more private and quieter than the main dining area.
I'm also with Shabby on Casa Giuseppe though, like her, I have not been there for several years. I disagree about the Metuchen Inn, however, which I used to frequent fairly often but no longer do. This place has declined noticeably in the last 5+ years and desperately needs an infusion of cash to upgrade the physical structure. Food is OK but nowhere close to where it was 10 years ago.
The only other place I can think of is Il Castello's in Woodbridge, which is not too far away. I'm pretty sure they have a liquor license but I would phone to make sure.
Of course, if you're willing to drive about 15 minutes to Rahway, there's always David Drake's!!
re: ambrose
Have you been ot David Drake's lately? It's been a very long time since we last had dinner there (Oct. '07), and I recall posts -- albeit not recently -- saying the cuisine is not as good as it used to be.
re: RGR
I'm guessing it's been 18 months since we were there (winter, bad weather) so I can't personally comment on any recent changes in quality of cuisine, service, etc.
Yes, I've seen some of the posts you're referring to but I've also heard positive remarks - some within the last couple of months - about "what a wonderful restaurant" David Drake's is. I suppose that means we need to make a visit!
re: ambrose
David Drake consistently delivers excellent food and service. We go there every couple of months and have not experienced any decline in quality.
How about Soho on George in New Brunswick, we've always enjoyed our meals there - but haven't been there in several months.
Given your criteria, Loucas is a great choice for your dining group. Its BYO, pick out some nice wines or beer and enjoy.
The menu has something for everyone and the food is very good.
Very short distance from the Metropark. Enjoy wherever you go!
I will also cast a vote for Loucas. I have been there with a group - people from the office as well as clients. We reserved the front room, and there were about 20 of us, although the room fits more than that.
We brought a mixed case of wine and everyone was very happy. There were people from overseas and even with their picky palates, all found something they enjoyed. They even insisted we go back that same week they were in town!
I work in MPark, and live in Woodbridge. LouCas has no wine list - as listed below its BYO. It's good for crowds, its very loud. If you can get someone to go to Joe Canal's on Rt 1 for wine, go to Loucas. If not, Casa Guisseppe is ok, nothing fancy esp for the price, food is "ok". Former Sheraton Woodbridge @ Gill Lane & Rt One is now a Marriott, they have OLIO. Metuchen Inn is nice, pricey too. Best of course is Trattoria Venez or Il Castello on Main St in Woodbridge, about 8-10 min from Metro Park. Il Castello's service and food is excellent.
I'm just throwing this out there so you have some options. Also in Rahway is Luciano's www.lucianosristorante.com.
Driving from Metropark maybe 10 mins tops (or about a 3 minute walk from Rahway train station). I have not been there yet myself but I know a half dozen people that have been at different times (one was a group very similar to what you mentioned) and they said it was really nice with great food and excellent service.

Anyone who doesnt know how to ghetto hearth(esp from SW) should not be writing for wow insider :P
Stormscape said...
Step one: Invite someone to a group.
Step two: enter the stockades.
Step three: leave group.
Step four :profit
gundamxzero said...
so your hearth is set to shat. You need to goto AH or w/e well as alli always pick SW or horde always pick Org(UC works but is less convienient) so when you are done and you hearth is up because you used it 10 minutes ago to get to shat, you just get in a group with a guildie or rando person run into stockades(or RFC/SM) and leave group, you will auto get ported back to shat in 60 seconds and your hearth just resets. You can do this over and over and over.
I also like to queue for a BG in shatt before going to train. Just get into 3 queues and there's a good chance one'll pop after you finish and you don't have to use your hearth (i.e. ghetto hearth also resets the cooldown on your hearthstone again so if you only had 15 mins left you'd have 60 mins left again). Normally, since i love to pvp, i'll fight out the bg. but you could just leave and take the 15 min bg scaredy cat.
