This is because, in my experience, men want to pretend/imagine that there WERE no other men before them! The best answer is to tell them there were no previous relationships, or if there were, they were meaningless. - Adrienne

"The lesson of the research is that even little kids react to ambiguity in a systematic and specific fashion. Their mode of playing is really a form of learning, a way of figuring out how the world works." - Adrienne

"It's a chilly Friday afternoon, when it should be spring but isn't quite yet. I'm in need of a caffeine buzz after a particularly busy day working with children and adults who demand my time. I also…" - Adrienne

"Tasty, healthy food with lots of veggie options. The staff will do lots to make sure your coffee/tea/drink is just the way you want it (soy milk? no problem. green tea? black tea? water with lemon?…" - Adrienne

"I almost don't want to write a review of this place, for fear that too many people will learn about Raffetto's -- easily Manhattan's best-kept secret -- and deluge its tiny space with heaps of hungry…" - Adrienne

"I'm sad that I have to downgrade Campus Laundry to a 3-star rating, but ... dude -- you lost my jeans. Yes, that's right. In December, just after the Christmas holiday season, I sent out my laundry…" - Adrienne

"Was doing a bit o' work in the Flatbush area and being unfamiliar with the 'hood, I powered up my trusty Yelp iPhone app to see what was around. Yelpers like yerself recommended this one, so off I…" - Adrienne

"The short: there are better coffee / food options in this neighborhood. The long: Aroma has good breakfast options, decent coffee, and a relaxed atmosphere. However, other food options are not…" - Adrienne

"Hot coffee. Chewy toasted bagel. Scallion cream cheese. Very efficient service. Lots of seating. Easy walking distance to those crappy places in Midtown that you have to go to for work, because no one…" - Adrienne

More justification for my addictions.... - Adrienne

This makes me homesick and wistful for nights spent on the patio at my grandmother's home... - Adrienne

"The short: 'Snice's menu is a vegetarian's dream. Options abound. Most of them are yummy. Prices are reasonable. Staff are too, sometimes. The long: Sandwiches, salads, sides and everything in…" - Adrienne

"Veniero's surely does not need my review. And yet, I feel compelled to write one anyway, out of sheer Italian Catholic foodie guilt. I have been to Veniero's more times than I can count now. In…" - Adrienne

So happy to see this highlighted -- great example of how to use technology. I hope we aim for the learning to be about skills and concepts, not a specific tech program. Especially as Web 2.0 and cloud applications take over, I love the idea that students have choice. - Adrienne

Wow, fascinating. Though I'm not sure that the lesson here is that we need fear. I think the lesson is we need instinct, intuition, etc. These things are part of what guide us to make decisions. - Adrienne

fascinating. - Adrienne

"Textured red wallpaper and well-loved antique furniture -- yes, this is a lovely little parlor indeed. Please don't come here and order a beer -- there are too many other classy things on the menu for…" - Adrienne

The question is not just about if boys are missing otu on critical skills by playing games that girls are missing out on by not playing as much -- it depends on the games. And let's face it -- most games boys have been playing have not been all that educational. I'm not talking about "academic" educational, either. It's only been in recent years that problem-solving and creative thinking have entered games. - Adrienne

I'd really REALLY like Seth to quit pontificating on topics like these as if he knows what he's talking about. He is not an educator. What he says is not new. Please can we stop worshiping his marketing words? - Adrienne

"Nothing here is fantastic. Having said that, nothing here is terrible either. Come here if you're in the hood and need a quick veggie bite. Their vegetarian sandwiches are cheap and decent. But…" - Adrienne

"Yep, "meh" pretty much describes it. I am actually a bit embarrassed to even admit that I went here -- I mean really, who lives in NYC and plans a birthday outing to Red Lobster in Times Square? WHO…" - Adrienne

"Ok, I have to be fair. I just reviewed my neighborhood Starbucks and gave it a 4, and compared it to this one, which is like... a negative 1 star. I agree with a lot of what Lana says below. This…" - Adrienne

"I feel like I need to write a review for my neighborhood Starbucks just to give it some cred. Yes, the layout is bad. Especially the area around the bathroom / cash register. But this is Manhattan!…" - Adrienne

"Few places like this exist in a neighborhood like Chelsea, and that is part of what makes Johny's so special. Fight for a seat at the bar, or order to-go -- either way, you'll find the service…" - Adrienne
