While we're at it, you can pass on Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters" theme, too.
I'll allow Michael Jackson's "Thriller."
This '80s underground punk classic perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Halloween without being overtly schlocky. Its opening line says it all: "Bonfires burning bright, pumpkin faces in the night, I remember Halloween."
The Misfits pioneered a genre of horror-themed punk and you could create an entire playlist from their catalog alone (See: "Braineaters," "Vampira," "Ghouls Night Out").
Horror icon Stephen King was a huge fan of these punk-rock pioneers. He tapped the band to record the title track for the 1989 film adaptation of "Pet Sematary." It plays over the closing credits.
This song takes its title from the hair dye of choice for goth girls everywhere, and references both Nosferatu and Lily Munster (and clove cigarettes). Peter Steele's baritone vocals and enunciation on lines like "On her milk white neck, the Devil's mark," are spine chilling.
The album version runs close to 12 minutes long, so you may want to look for the radio edit.
This song has been covered by everyone from Creedence Clearwater Revival to Bette Midler (in the film "Hocus Pocus"), but Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 1956 version evokes a playful voodoo vibe that's perfect for Halloween.
In all fairness, the Houston rap band's 1991 track "Chuckie" is the better choice here. Based on the horror film "Child's Play," the song has better rhymes, if you care about that kind of thing.
It's also completely NSFW (not safe for work). Or anyplace else, probably.
"My Mind Playing Tricks On Me" isn't a bad second choice, with its story of a bad guy haunted by his own demons. It also has a guitar riff that will stick in your head for days.
Santa Cruz band Stellar Corpses plays up the horror themes with its mix of punk rock and rockabilly. Here, they give Patsy Cline's classic "Walking After Midnight," a sinister twist.
Alice Cooper is a fright-night classic and any number of his songs could be included on this list. Except "Feed My Frankenstein." That song is awful.
"Dead Babies" got some serious backlash when it was released in 1971, well before Cooper started beheading himself on stage.


Comments: If I had this to do again, I would purchase new control arms with bushings already installed. I am satisfied with the final result, but the added cost of purchasing new control arms would be justified by the time and effort saved. I would also suggest that the instructions further emphasize the use of adequate grease and suggest that sides of bushings and thrust washers get grease as well. Missing this point will result in disassembly to eliminate squeaks. Editors Note: Poly urethane bushings are more labor intensive because of the removal and installation steps you have to do. The correct grease and amount is very important. It is best to coat all of the bushing that comes into contact with metal with the grease. That is why you need to purchase extra grease to make sure you cover the bushing.
Comments: This product is great! In my country is very difficult to find auto parts for this jeep model. Pros: Good package, clear instructions to assemble, good web support, great quality of auto part. No cons!
Comments: I was very impressed with this product, everything came in separate bags or boxes and was easily identified. The hardest thing to this project was getting the old rubber bushings out of the control arms. I heated the center metal sleeve with a propane torch and pulled it out first, then heated the outside case that the bushing sits in and pried it out with a screw driver. Afterward I cleaned out the housing with a wire brush attached to my drill. I only wish that they would add new sway bar mounts for the rear sway bar as they did for the front. This is a time consuming project, but well worth the time and effort. My 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ) rides like new. I also added in new 2 inch spring spacers and bump stops by Daystar. All that red rubber looks really good under my ride.

Uechi-ryu Karate – A short History: Part 2
By Mario McKenna
Editor's Note: This is the second article in the history of Naha-Te (meaning Naha-hand, Naha referring to the seaport city in Okinawa) Uechi-Ryu karate. Part 1 introduced the style's founder, Uechi Kanbun (1877-1948) and detailed trip to mainland China to further his martial arts studies. Part 2 chronicles his return to Okinawa and the development of his style of karate.
Kanbun Uechi returned to Naha City, Okinawa (photo Ca.1990). This teaming port city was known for its trading and rich mix of foreign traders, sailors and visitors. Along with Uechi Ryu, other styles also flourished eventually there which had their own distinct aspects and reflected a more direct heritage from their Chinese roots. The best known of this group was Goju ryu.
Like his counterpart Higashionna Kanryo several decades earlier, after his return to Okinawa Uechi Kanbun never talked about, or taught quan'fa (Chinese martial arts). In fact, many potential students came to know of Uechi Kanbun and sought him out, but Kanbun summarily dismissed them. It was only after he moved to Wakayama prefecture in 1924, at the age of 47 in search of better work to support his family that Kanbun was finally convinced to start teaching quan'fa again (Okinawa Prefectural Board of Education, 1997).
Kanei Uechi (1910-1991), the son of the founder of Uechi Ryu karate who inherited the system.
Kanbun taught full time, and also made and sold the medicinal compounds as he had done when he lived in China (Breyette, 1999). Three years later, in 1927, Kanbun's eldest son, Uechi Kanei (1911-1991) moved to Wakayama and began learning his father's system of quan'fa (Okinawa Prefectural Board of Education, 1997).
Around the time that Kanbun was teaching his brand of quan'fa in Wakayama prefecture, the popularization and modernization of Okinawan karate had begun. 'Toudi' (China hand) had now become (renamed) karate (empty hand). During this boom-era of popularization a multitude of styles were named and renamed. In contrast, Uechi Kanbun seemed reluctant to formally name his system. Indeed, Uechi Kanbun never stated the name of the system of quan'fa he studied in China and simply referred to his art as Pangainoon-ryu karate-jutsu (Jap. Half hard / soft empty-hand technique); a name which his students innocently mistook as a reference to his particular style of karate.
During his time in Wakayama prefecture, many Okinawan karate teachers visited Kanbun. Among them were Shito-ryu founder Mabuni Kenwa and Konishi Yasuhiro of the Shindo Jinen Ryu. Mabuni was intensely curious as to what had kept Uechi Kanbun in China for well over a decade and Kanbun was more than happy to oblige by demonstrating some of the xing / kata and techniques that comprised his 'Pangainoon karate'. So inspired was Mabuni by what Kanbun showed him, that Mabuni included some of the basic Fujian tiger boxing techniques in a kata he later developed called 'Shinpa' or 'mind-wave.' Konishi, for his part, did not fair as well as Mabuni. Konishi later recalled that Uechi was 'living like a recluse' and that he was unable to follow the conversation between Mabuni and Uechi as Uechi Kanbun's Japanese was limited (McCarthy, 1999b). Instead, the two Okinawans talked in 'Okinawa hogen' (Okinawa dialect).
It should be noted that Pangainoon does not refer to a specific style of quan'fa or Chinese boxing. Instead, it more likely refers to the mixture of training methods from Fujian that Uechi Kanbun combined to make his system of karate. In fact, Pangainoon refers to principles common to all martial arts. These include: goho (Jap. Lit. 'Hard method'), juho (Jap. Lit. 'Flexible method') and gojuho (Jap. Lit. 'Hard / flexible method'). Examples of goho or hard method include: Tiger boxing (Jap. Tora Ken), Great Ancestor boxing (Jap. Tai So Ken), and Lion boxing (Jap. Shi Ken). Examples of gojuho or hard / flexible boxing include: White crane (Jap. Haku Tsuru Ken) and examples of the Juho or flexible method include: Shaolin Flower Boxing (Jap. Shorin Hana Ken), and Crane boxing (Jap. Tsuru Ken).
Uechi Ryu Karate is a powerful, hard Okinawan style that shares many similarities with Goju Ryu karate and the lesser Naha-Te styles of To'on Ryu and Ryuei Ryu. Stances are mostly high, such as the pigeon toe stance (rather than long and deep as some Japanese styles). Techniques feature one knuckle punches, kicks using the big toe (photo left), spear hand (photo right) that symbolically refer to Tigers Teeth and Crane's beak (moves emulating animal fighting techniques). Also included are a variety of open and closed hand techniques combined with angling and the use of circular blocks and grabs. There were no closed fist punches, however, in the original three kata of Uechi-ryu: Sanchin, Seisan and Sanseryu. Open hand striking techniques emphasize (fingers and many other parts of the hands) striking specific pressure points on the body.
In 1940, Kanbun renamed his system Uechi-ryu Karate-jutsu (Uechi style empty-hand technique). By 1947 Uechi Kanbun had returned to Okinawa and moved to Ie Jima. He passed away the following year on November 25,1948. The year after Kanbun's death, his son, Uechi Kanei returned to Okinawa and opened his first dojo in Ginowan calling it 'Uechi-ryu Karate-jutsu Kenkyujo' or the Uechi-ryu Karate-jutsu Research Center (Okinawa Prefectural Board of Education, 1997). There Kanei continued to teach his interpretation of his father's art until he relocated his dojo to the city of Futenma in the 1950's. After Uechi Kanei's passing in 1991 at the age of 79 Uechi-ryu karate-do splintered into literally dozens of different organizations each teaching their own interpretation of Uechi Kanbun's art.

After making fried lemon boneless chicken breast, as well as an asparagus mushroom rice concoction, I felt like a peach cobbler. The peaches are from a can and of the raspberry infused type. The cobbler, of course, is homemade. Anyone want a bowlful? I have vanilla ice cream, you know, if you think it's necessary.

New GE startup tests drones for pipeline, gas flare inspections

General Electric has launched a subsidiary to develop and sell the use of flying, crawling and swimming drones for inspections in the oil and gas industry, among others, the company announced Tuesday.
The startup, Boston-based Avitas Systems, is already working with customers to test the drones on pipelines, gas flares and holding tanks.
"Now I can send a drone, on demand, and look at the length of the pipeline," said Kishore Sundararajan, chief technology officer at GE Oil & Gas. He helped start Avitas.
The oil and gas industry has regularly been upended by technology over the last decade. Breakthroughs in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing brought on the shale revolution. The 3-year-old crash in oil prices drove oil and gas companies to lay off workers and rely on newer technologies such as remote monitoring, electronic drill-bit steering and fracking advances to increase production and lower costs.
Oil and gas companies have recently begun rehiring, but now automation and robotics threaten to flip the industry again.
Routine inspections are an easy place to start. They're generally considered slow, expensive and dangerous. Data collected manually can take weeks to process and analyze.
Oil and gas inspections have been done by humans for decades without much change, Sundararajan said. The industry has tried for years to use robots to do the work, but they just took too long.
The drones, however, can report and analyze data in real-time. To get there, Avitas has combined disparate technologies in robotics, artificial intelligence and cloud computing, taking advantage of huge improvements in wireless communications.
Alex Tepper, who founded Avitas through his work at GE, said the startup takes clients from "reactive to predictive repair."
Drones can conduct inspections more frequently, GE said, identifying problems before they happen and reducing costs by as much as one-fourth.
There are significant challenges.
Most drones have a relatively short battery life and must fly in sight of operators. But drones for pipeline inspections, for instance, must fly miles away from their pilots for hours.
GE is experimenting with using satellites to control the drones and building lighter bodies to reduce battery needs.
The effort is worth it, Sundararajan said. GE estimates that the inspections market, including such industries as power and rail, is worth $40 billion a year.
"That's why we're so interested," he said.
Sundararajan was, at first, the only board member on Avitas. Now he's building out the team. He hopes the startup can move more nimbly than its industrial parent but still take advantage of GE technology and cost efficiencies.
The company, fully owned by GE, has about 25 employees. Sundararajan thinks it will double in size by year's end.
"We were crawling. Now we're walking," he said. "We're not yet ready to run."
But he expects great things. Algorithms, he notes, learn much faster than humans.

The European red fox is Australia's number one predator. Native wildlife threatened by the fox include the rock-wallaby, numbat, brush-tailed bettong and bilby. Foxes are also predators of livestock, with reports of them taking up to 30% of lambs in some areas. Foxes are estimated to cost Australia more than $227 million per year in combined environmental and agricultural impacts. Foxes also pose risks as potential hosts of exotic diseases such as rabies, which threaten human and animal health.

Michelle Branch's "Loud Music" Helps Kick Off Season 7 Of 'Bones'
Relive Booth & Brennan's greatest hits put to the music of Michelle Branch...
By Josh Hathaway on November 3, 2011 10:59 AM |
And now for something almost completely different...
My wife and I are huge fans of the TV show Bones. We didn't get in on the ground floor but we've faithfully watched every episode -- most of them more than twice -- and own every season on DVD/Blu-ray. There's something about we love, made a little more special because it's something we love together. Other people go rock climbing or ballroom dancing. Not us. We hole up in the living room with one of the cats (usually our deaf, developmentally disabled boy Rowdy) and relax to a TV show that entertains and amuses us (along with a cat that does the same). It's "our" thing, and we're excited about it tonight (along with another episode from the revived Beavis & Butt-head)
So tonight is the Season Premiere of Bones' Season 7 and Fox has put together a video that traces the relationship of Booth and Brennan from frustrated co-workers with a tiny spark through (Spoiler Alert if you missed last season) pregnancy, using a song from Michelle Branch's upcoming record. The song is "Loud Music" from West Coast Time.
If you love the show, relive some of the highlights from the past six seasons. If you love Michelle Branch, check out the first single from her new album. If you love both, you're really in luck. If you're not sure about either, you're probably at work right now. Trust me. This is better, boys and girls.
I know what we'll be doing tonight... (oh, and be ready for X Factor Results show tonight; Heather will have the full rundown).


Police have captured a suspect wanted in an armed robbery, and they were led to him after his ex-girlfriend's purse was snatched Saturday morning.
Herbert Nathaniel Johnson, 20, was charged with robbery by snatching, interference with government property, possession of a concealed weapon and obstruction by fleeing.
Johnson faces additional charges in relation to an outstanding warrant in an armed robbery April 25 at Avenue Fashion, 1309 Augusta Ave.
An assailant matching Johnson's description grabbed the purse Saturday morning and fled in a gray Chevrolet van, according to a Savannah-Chatham police report.
About noon, metro police spotted the van near 37th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, according to the metro police report. When police stopped the vehicle, the driver fled and dropped a loaded .9 mm handgun.
After a short pursuit, the fleeing man, whom police later identified as Johnson, was captured, arrested and placed in a police vehicle.
He then kicked out the back window of the police car but failed in an apparent attempt to escape. He was taken to the Chatham County jail.
Police discovered the stolen purse inside the van, the report stated. Also in the vehicle were four young children and two women. One of the women, an unidentified 18-year-old, was arrested and charged with obstruction.
A Savannah man wanted in an assault and a kidnapping was arrested Friday night, according to Savannah-Chatham police.
Reginal DeCarlos Lee, 28, of the 1700 block of Grove Street, was charged with battery, kidnapping and theft of a car, a metro police arrest report showed.
Police accused Lee of forcing his way into his estranged girlfriend's car, a silver 1992 Buick Park Avenue, on April 14. Lee refused to get out of the car and demanded that the woman drive him to a relative's house, according to the report.
The victim complied, said Sgt. Mike Wilson, a metro police spokesman. Her identity was not provided.
While driving, Lee ordered the woman to stop the car and then took her keys, striking her several times and inflicting injuries to her head and face, the report stated.
He also threatened the woman's life during the assault, according to the report.
The victim said she escaped and called police when Lee stopped to buy gasoline.
A North Carolina man allegedly used a stolen credit card to exchange gasoline for cash early Friday morning, according to Savannah-Chatham police.
The man and two other men accompanying him were at a Parker's filling station in the 1900 block of East Victory Drive about 2:30 a.m., trying to sell $40 worth of fuel to the station's customers in exchange for $20 in cash, according to a police report.
Police were called, and they overtook the men in a green Plymouth Voyager minivan in the 2000 block of Victory Drive.
When asked where the men had been earlier, the driver, Jerry Hickman, 32, told a police officer he was at the Parker's station.
The officer asked how Hickman paid for the fuel. He replied that he used a credit card and later admitted that the credit card wasn't his.
Police searched the van and found the stolen credit card and a crack pipe, according to the report.
Police also found several packs of unopened cigarettes and a pork loin.
The two passengers, Walter Braxton, 45, and James Combs, 46, both of North Carolina, were released after they were checked for outstanding arrest warrants.
None of the passengers had any cash or credit cards, the police report stated.
Hickman told police he found the credit card at a Motel 6 in North Carolina.
Hickman, who told police the three men were traveling to Florida, said he bought about $60 in gasoline with the stolen card. He was charged with financial transaction fraud and financial transaction theft. Both are felonies.
Police took him to the Chatham County jail.
A woman was arrested Friday night after police accused her of being responsible for three teenagers drinking alcohol at her house.
Savannah-Chatham police were called about 10:50 p.m. to investigate mailboxes being damaged in an Isle of Hope neighborhood.
A police officer saw suspects running into the woods near the first block of Avenue of Pines, and then those fleeing went into a house.
Police saw about six people hanging out under the home's carport. Beer cans and white cups were in plain sight around the house, under the carport and in the driveway, according to a metro police report.
The suspects who had run into the house were followed by a police officer, who identified two 17-year-old boys who smelled of alcohol, police said.
Later, a man police identified as Logan Abbott, 19, admitted to having two to three drinks. He tested positive for alcohol, police said.
The officer then met with the homeowner, identified as Patricia Ramage, 51, who said she was watching television. She told police her son's friends were invited to hang out at the house, but she was unaware that they were drinking alcohol.
Ramage was charged with a disorderly house, a misdemeanor.
Abbott and the two 17-year-olds were charged with possession of alcohol by a minor, also a misdemeanor.

Debate resumes in UK — should fat children be taken from their parents by the state?
Dr. Michael Fitzpatrick, a general practitioner in London and the author of The Tyranny of Health: Doctors and the Regulation of Lifestyle, writes in the current issue of the British Journal of General Practice that child obesity is not a form of child abuse or an issue for child protection authorities. Tam Fry, a spokesperson for the National Obesity Forum, however, is continuing his calls for fat children to be taken into state care.
This debate has been going on for more than a year, but the Local Government Association resumed warnings today that the growing epidemic of childhood obesity necessitates drastic action by the government. Just two months ago, it had issued a similar press statement claiming the child obesity crisis is so dangerous that authorities would have to step in and "deal with the problem…for the welfare of children." Yet, the government's own Health Survey for England statistics reveal that there's been no significant changes in the average weights of children in the UK for nearly a decade.
Yesterday, this was debated on the Jeremy Vine Show on BBC Radio. Mr. Fry said that parents of fat children are just as bad as parents who starve their children or seriously neglect them. He said that the futures of children who are "grossly obese" are in danger in terms of health and quality of life and that what is necessary is to remove these children into the hospital so that their weight "can be dealt with" while their parents have a make-over by child protective services. Then, when the parents have been rehabilitated and the child loses weight, the child can be allowed to return to their parents. He said we may well find that fat children welcome being taken away from their parents to lose weight, because currently they're "forced to live in homes" where the environment is making them fat and for which "there is no escape." Parents, too, he said, may welcome social services into their home to teach them how to be good parents.
Rob Lyons, health writer for Spiked, told BBC listeners that this situation illustrates the extent of the hysteria over obesity. Unless a child is in immediate danger, he argued, there is no justification for removing a child from a home. We've gotten to the stage where we think obesity is a disease and that children could drop dead at any minute, he said, but that's overblown far beyond any science. He also argued that a fat child is not the same as one who is being starved. A fat child is likely to be getting all of the nutrients they need and their larger size is genetic; their food intake isn't to be blamed. In contrast, an extremely malnourished, underweight child who isn't being fed is in immediate danger.
Jeremy Laurance, the health editor for the Independent, reported that at a meeting of the National Obesity Forum, Mr. Fry's proposal had been voted down by a vote of 2 to 1. Yet, he continues to make his case to the media. Mr. Fry is claiming that in Tower Hamlets, Lincolnshire and Cumbria, children who were excessively overweight had been removed from their parents, but Laurance went to the Association of Directors of Children's Services and found that not to be the case. He did report, however, that social workers are currently debating whether a new approach to manage childhood obesity was needed.
Some authorities who object to Mr. Fry's idea of removing children from their families, he said, support interventions to make children lose weight involving "regular visits from health and social workers to monitor the child's eating patterns and to help the family with buying and preparing food…Targetes for weight loss could be set and rewards offered." Laurance added: "In extreme cases, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence has recommended that obese children might be considered for surgery to reduce the size of their stomachs."
Dr. Fitzpatrick, writing at Spiked today, said he's received the first request of the school year from child protection authorities for information about a fat 15-year old boy who is a patient in his practice. The family is being threatened with statutory proceedings, he said, adding:
It seems that the Fat Police are already on the rampage. And we can expect more of it: yesterday the LGA published a new report arguing that 'councils are increasingly having to consider taking action where parents are putting children's health in real danger…
He also pointed out the inappropriateness of comparing situations of undernourished and neglected babies to an overweight teen whose parents doted on him. There was actual bodily harm due to the direct result of parental abuse with the starved baby and the medical literature provides clear evidence that medical intervention can dramatically restore the growth and health of that baby. In contrast: "A paediatrician told the case conference that there was only weak and contradictory evidence supporting the efficacy of any particular treatment for childhood obesity." He cautioned that:
Apart from being threatened with legal action, parents will shortly be receiving official warnings [reviewed here] if their children are overweight and instructions from the government about healthy eating and physical activity (despite the abundant evidence that such exhortations are utterly useless). In their crusade against childhood obesity, public health zealots would do well to heed the wise words of paediatric experts in this field, who recently observed that 'it is also important to remember that obesity remains extremely difficult for professionals to treat, thus criticising parents for what professionals are frequently unable to do smacks of hypocrisy'.
It remains to be seen if the medical evidence will override politics, but we can only hope ... for the welfare of children and their families.

For the last six years, a group of authors I work with have held a writing conference for teenagers (ages 13 to 19) called Teen Author Boot Camp. It is a daylong event and often we have people ask us how we dare spend 8 hours with a bunch of crazy teenagers. Yet we have never had a problem (and we've had as many as 750 teens at TABC). I fact, I've met teens who I consider genuine friends and fellow authors.
This year, I felt the desire to put on a writing conference just for tweens (ages 9 to 12). I had a couple of people tell me I was absolutely insane—what with all of the ADHD, bullying, lack of respect, and such. After some of the feedback, I started to worry a bit as well.
Last night we held the first ever Tween Author Boot Camp. Almost 250 kids came to a conference for nearly five hours to learn how to write better. And guess what? They sat in their chairs. They listened. They took notes. They asked a very intelligent questions, and they gave brilliant answers.
The kids did just as well as the teenagers in paying attention. The authors who taught were lively, and the classes lasted only 25 minutes instead of 40. The evening went by quickly.
Granted, the "Lost and Found" was HUGE, but other than the tweens were outstanding students. With all that goes on in America and in the school system and in society, we tend to think that kids are headed on a downhill spiral. In reality, we have some amazingly intelligent young people in our society.
What if the shark eats the man?
What if the man survives the shark attack?
What if the shark is the man's best friend?
Wow! Doesn't that sound like an intriguing novel?
Tweens are the best! I just love them. Sounds like a fun event.
WOW! You're not kidding on that last "what if" question from the kid! And you're also not kidding about the potential for kids to be brilliant students. My doctor once told me that he suspected a lot of ADHD was really BSS (boring school syndrome). While I don't discount the reality of ADHD (my daughter has it), I've seen that the quality of teaching and the engagement level makes a big difference in what kids can do.
Kudos to you for encouraging the best in these kids! THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!
This is a great post for everybody in the writing process–newbies to highly successful. Every person was once a kid and I think it is supremely important to encourage young writers. A lot of the authors I know have been writing since they were teens–and I'm meeting younger writers all the time.
I'm grateful there are conferences dedicated to encourage future authors at younger ages. These events can be game-changers for self image (uber important for tweens who are at the perfect age to really explore their interests and talents).
I love this! I've done writing workshops and they are a lot of fun. I enjoy the kids so much, they're so eager to learn.
I had been wondering how this was going. Glad to hear it came off with flying colors! You were probably drawing from the best of the best, kids with involved and supportive parents and a measure of ambition. Still, kids are amazing. Kudos for putting this together. I'm sure these young authors will never forget their experience. Who knows? We may be purchasing their books in another 15 years.
Good for you, Lois! What an undertaking. But kids are amazing and always surprise me with their ability to pay attention and get involved when they feel like they are appreciated.
Kudos on such an inspiring post, Lois! It's awesome to see tweens into writing these days. You never know, have may have had a hand in carving a future 'JK Rowling' or 'Rick Riordan'. Cheers!
Love these kinds of stories. With all the ugliness going on in the world, we need to be reminded that our future can still be in good hands!
This is fantastic. Kudos to you! I wish someone had done workshops like this when I was that age. Great for the kids and fun for the adult authors. Keep encouraging young authors!

Our first time here and the food was amazing! Well worth the price. Beautiful atmosphere, service was great. Overall wonderful experience. Our friends from out-of-town raved about the restaurant. We'll definitely return.
Fabulous food, lovely ambience. Great service. Good for date night and special occasion.
Wonderful experience overall. Getting the food out was a little on the slower side but everything else was 5 stars all around. Live, soft music and the overall aesthetics were amazing. Food and drinks/wine were all exceptional. Service was extremely friendly, including the hostesses and back servers/bussers. And noise level was perfect. We had a two year old and between the music and chatter throughout restaurant, it wasn't over bearing but it was enough to drown out any real noise. I'd give it a 4.9/5.
From the moment we walked in the door we knew it would be a special experience. The atmosphere was instantly relaxing and welcoming, and the staff were very friendly. We sat upstairs and we're treated to a view of the main level as we dined. I had the NY strip, and my girlfriend had the duck for main courses. Both dishes were prepared perfectly, and left us speechless. We will definitely be coming back in the future.
Utterly stunned by the incredible dining experience we had. The food was phenomenal, the ambiance perfect. We had no idea dining in Baltimore could be so fine!
Wonderful experience. The restaurant is beautiful, service great and food exceptional!! This is a must try if you are in the area.
Outstanding meal! And we loved the background style entertainment. Will definitely be back!
Great atmosphere, food, service and music. Looking forward to our next visit.
We came in with a reservation for 2, but my fiance decided to join my friend and I before we headed to a concert. The host (whose name I wish I remembered - someone told us it was Colleen, but that was incorrect (she said - do I look like a Colleen? It was funny)) was absolutely amazing. Gracious, kind, accomodating - and she brought us tissues when we told her that we were probably going to cry at the Kelly Clarkson show we were headed to.
Donner our server was also incredible. Kind, personable and was able to not only give great recommendations, but also to tell us how something was going to taste. Very impressive for someone that was still in training. He is going to be a huge asset to what looks like an already incredible team.
Food was amazing - I am so glad that we got the cheese plate. It was fantastic! I can't wait to come back on a date night or with my girlfriends. The ambiance is fantastic, food is great, staff are incredible.
The service was wonderful. Our server was attentive, helpful, and gave the perfect wine suggestions for our meal. The lengua appetizer just melted in your mouth, the Patagonian salmon was tender and moist and went perfectly with the lemon-basil chimichurri. The NY strip steak was flavorful and cooked properly, and the oregano chimichurri was out of this world. The blood orange sorbet for dessert was just the perfect sweet without being too heavy. The noise level was enough to make it comfortable to carry on a personal conversation, but not so noisy that a conversation was difficult. The live music was the perfect touch. We will definitely return.
Great spot for a nice night out with friends, date, or anniversary! Atmosphere, food and drinks were superb.
Food was amazing but the music was a bit loud.
We loved the decor and atmosphere in the restaurant and the service was superb. The wait staff was attentive without being intrusive or interrupting our conversations. The steak was absolutely one of the best steaks I've ever had and the sides were excellent. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!
New top 3 for me. Loved it. Food atmosphere, the way it is decorated, the service. Especially the service. Food was great. Valet parking too.
Great service, delicious food. The GM is fabulous at her job. The live music was a bonus.
Dine here regularly, but this visit was a dud all around.
The service was impeccable and the food delicious. We all ordered different steaks, and all lived up to the expectations of an Argentine restaurant.
Great food and service. The music was nice too. Love the interior. Everyone was super friendly and professional. Looking forward to coming again. Nice steak and drinks.
Beautiful space and great atmosphere. Menu had menu solid choices. Server was knowledgeable and engaging.
This was one of the best meals we've had in a while. Food was wonderful. Waitress was outstanding. Live music helped give it all an upbeat atmosphere.
We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Bar Vasquez and hope to return soon. We loved the ambience, live music, and courteous service - our courses came out almost too quickly for a relaxing anniversary dinner. We especially loved the asada grill's morcilla and prime rib and the excellent wine selections. We would certainly recommend this to others.
We stuck with the small plates and appetizers and had a fabulous time! Especially delicious were the vegetables including the broccoli and the Brussels sprouts. Really appreciated the more unusual dishes such as veal tongue and sweetbreads which were both superb and beautifully prepared. Our only issue was the noise level. It is wonderful having live music but given the cavernous space there was a lot of loud echoing niose that made conversation a challenge.
One of the best restaurants I have ever been to in my life. Simply phenomenal food, service and atmosphere. I dine all over the country and this is one of the best restaurants. Thank you.
A little pricy. The bathroom door didn't lock well Someone walked right into the unisex bathroom while I was using it. Fortunately it was my husband. I told the manager so hopefully they fix it soon. It would have been very embarrassing.
My husband & I were excited to try Bar Vasquez as we had been to the former Pazo several times. The restaurant is stunning–it still is one of the prettiest restaurants I've ever dined in! The ambience is cozy and romantic–perfect for date night. My husband had to order a second glass of wine because the first was bland. We ordered the ceviche as an appetizer, and it was delicious! My husband got the steak for his main dish and was so happy with it. I ordered the lobster gnocchi and was disappointed. It lacked flavor, and for $38, there just wasn't anything special about it. We had the flan for dessert, and it was way too sweet for our taste. Service was attentive and professional, but cold and distant. We found it odd that NINE different people visited our table throughout our dining experience. We didn't have much continuity. We so wanted to love Bar Vasquez, but it failed to impress us.
Great ambiance with the low-key live music - it wasn't loud or intrusive, but lovey and subtle. Food was impeccable and our sever was knowledge, insightful and personable, without being too invasive. Always appeared when we needed her. An excellent experience.
My wife and I don't venture into the city often but we were seeking something a bit nicer than our usual spots. The place is nice. We enjoyed the live music. Food was pricey but good.
Outstanding food, unique wine, cocktails, atmosphere. We really enjoyed the mussels, NY strip and Rockfish. Ricardo Marlow plays Spanish guitar on fridays beautifully!
The Food was over price for the quality. The menu was also short. The restaurant its self was very nice and classy. The service was far not great.
We went for valentine day dinner, everything was perfect from beginning to end. The preset menue was amazing, lots of choices, portions were generous, food came out on time, not too fast not too slow, can't say anything negative. Our waiter was knowligible and very professional. We would definitely come back!
Bar Vasquez is a great place to go for a date night! Wonderful atmosphere and great wine list. We went there for Valentine's Day. The food was excellent, although was a little pricey for the value. There was a fixed menu for the Valentine's event, which we knew about before hand. Additionally, we felt VERY rushed. Although i'm not sure if that is a negative, as I'd rather feel rushed than have slow service. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about wines and was able to give great recommendations.
Great food and great atmosphere. I will definitely be eating here again with my wife.
