I have small breasts will I be able to breast feed?
The size of your breast has no bearing on whether you can breast feed or not and almost ALL women can breastfeed. Some women have to persevere and it may take a bit longer than others, but this is the most natural way to feed your baby, so you should get the hang of it eventually!
When should I stop breast feeding?
All mothers and babies are different and this is down to personal choice. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recommend breastfeeding for six to twelve months. You should try to breast feed for at least the first six months, to allow your baby to receive the essential nutrients to get off to a good start. You can breast feed for as long as you and your baby are comfortable and when you do decide to stop, it is recommended you give him expressed or formula milk as ordinary milk is not recommended in the first 12 months.
Is my baby getting enough milk?
It is difficult to measure how much milk is coming out of your breast and going into your baby, so it is better to measure whatХs coming out of your baby and how much weight your baby is gaining. Most babies lose weight after they are born but then start to gain 3-6 ounces per week. Breast fed babies normally get back to their birth weight after two weeks. Having your baby weighed in the first few weeks is essential to monitoring their progress and you should always ask your midwife or health professional if you are concerned about your babyХs weight. Another way to monitor if your baby is feeding enough is by checking their diapers. In the first 2-3 days most babies will have one to three wet diapers per day. After 4-5 days this increases to five or six wet and one or two soiled diapers per day. If your baby is wetting or soiling his diaper on a regular basis and is gaining weight then you shouldnХt have anything to worry about.
How do I get other people involved in feeding my baby?
If you want to get your partner involved or you are planning to return back to work, then you can still breast feed your baby. Expressing and storing milk allows you to involve others in feed times if you are not available or just needing a well deserved break. If you are returning to work you can still feed your baby in the mornings and in the evenings and in between he can be fed your expressed milk. If you cannot express enough breast milk to feed your baby during the day, then try formula milk as a supplement.

G-Star Digs High Fashion Denim
Fashion has always reflected the times, and the global recession has impacted on the catwalk – witnessed by the high-end denim lines from G-Star.
The uncertainty of the global economy spawned particular responses on the fashion catwalks. There has been a desperate uncertainty around the short term future of fashion – what designs and themes would the big designer brands go for if the spending power wasn't going to be guaranteed? The response has been mixed. Some labels went retro, finding comfort in the past, harking back to previously austere days. Others, like G-Star, simply dragged looks and styles more associated with the High Street onto the catwalk. A report in the Sunday Times noted leading denim brands such as G-Star and Diesel began showing high-fashion lines, pushing the casual look, and offering an easier, more affordable 'fashion hit' for fashion followers.G-Star Shine on the Catwalk
Denim has never been so big, as more designers tap into materials and looks that are relatively inexpensive but still ooze high fashion. Designers at G-Star have always embraced the casual look with a high-end flair. The G-Star brand is known for its innovative and unorthodox designs for a distinctive style. Denim may be a trademark material for the brand, but it always comes with a raw edge that sets G-Star apart from its competitors. G-Star has always been seen as the brand for leaders of fashion, not followers, so it makes sense the brand is making waves on the cat walks. Innovation is the name of the game, and in times of economic hardship, this innovative approach has certainly paid off.G-Star: Designer Denim
G-Star are behind one of the biggest fashion hits of the cat walk this season – the sleeveless denim jacket. Ripped and torn denim is in vogue to match the frazzled outlooks the economy has caused. G-Star illustrate the idea that fashion is always a reflection of the times. Fashion is a visual representation of our dreams, fears, hopes and ambitions. It's not surprising that 2009 saw some tumultuous responses on the catwalk to the economic meltdown. Bizarrely, some leading designers embraced the 1980s, perhaps harking back to the boom time when excess, shoulder pads and cocktail dresses were in. Marc Jacobs summed it up when he told reporters after his catwalk show: "I was thinking about the good old days in New York, when getting dressed up was such a joy."Buy G-Star at FootAsylum
FootAsylum are proud to stock G-Star. Find a range of G-Star apparel online, alongside some of the biggest brand names including Fred Perry, Diesel and Adidas.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about money. Do I have enough money to grab lunch with a friend today? How much do I owe in daycare this week? Can I afford those shoes I really want? How much can I spend on that birthday present for my niece without having to eat Ramen this week?
I know I'm not alone. Between daycare costs, putting gas in the car and food on the table things can get pretty tight at times. Here are a few tips that will help you trim the fat so you can have that cash to get those incredible shoes once in a while or go out on a date night.
- Use coupons. Since our twins were born we've become coupon shoppers. You can use a combination of manufacturer coupons and store coupons. If your store offers double coupon days make that your day to shop. Always make a list of items that are on sale or that you have a coupon for and plan your meals around these deals. Shop at multiple stores if you can. Use those pump perks. You can save a lot of money on gas if you buy pump perk items and if you do it on Sunday at Trig's you get double!
- Cancel magazine subscriptions.
- Cut back on your TV service. Ditch those movie channels. If you're anything like me you don't watch movies on them anyway. We just bought a smart TV and we watch shows and movies on Netflix for $9/month. If you can live without traditional cable or satellite this might be a good move for you to save a lot of money. You can get regular broadcast TV for free.
- Watch ATM fees they can add up quick! If you're like me and don't carry cash around very often and scramble to the ATM every time you need a $20 bill make sure you use the ATM at your bank or credit union or at Kwik Trip. Those no-fee ATMs were the best marketing idea a convenience store ever had!
- Don't fall into the trap of buying stuff just because you have a coupon. So many people feel like they're throwing money away if they don't use a coupon. If you're going to use the coupon for something you really need then by all means use the coupon, but if you're buying something just because you have a coupon STOP!

text: I get a lot of requests from people who are trying to buy that new lens..that new camera..They asking me what to buy. I always ask them if they've "ever thought of renting photography gear first?" Why?? What you're thinking of "buying" might be pretty expensive. A lens I rented recently to shoot pictures of Bison in the Black Hills out in South Dakota costs $5000 to buy, but only about $200-300 to rent..depending on how long you want to rent it. See the cost difference?? LOL. I have rented cameras, lenses, and tripods from this company in this video, but there's others online. I highly suggest trying renting before you buy...it's a perfect thing for the expensive world of photography.

Yes, for many Memorial Day is a day off. And sadly, that's how a majority of American's view this holiday. That's a shame as it's time set aside to remember the fallen; the brave men and women who have fought to provide us with the freedoms we enjoy in this country.
I remember fondly my time as a kid on Hollister Avenue in Madison, Wisconsin where Memorial Day meant a lot more than that.
First off, I should tell you that I'm old enough that a lot of our neighbor's when I was growing up were either WW II or Korean War Vets. Some of my friends had older brothers who served in Vietnam; so there was a sense of American Pride in the area already.
Every house on my block flew the American Flag on Memorial Day, and many times we would all meet for a neighborhood picnic to share stories of our heroes and remember the names of the ones who never made it home.
Starting in 2002, my kids were 6 and 4 - I started taking them to a Memorial Day celebration near my new home in Marquette, Michigan. They wondered why when I never served in the Armed Forces this was so important to me. I'd have to say Pride; considering we were less than a year removed from the events of 9-11 there was a lot of that back then. Sadly, that's faded....and with that some of the importance of Memorial Day. But that lesson was driven home and we visited that ceremony every year after that for many. many years.
This Monday, I urge to to find a Memorial Day observation of some sort. Seek out your local VFW, or your local VVA chapter and see what's going on and make sure you explain to your kids....why this holiday is more than just a day off for Mom and Dad.

The parents of a man gunned down outside of a Dunwoody day care say they've been cut off from seeing their grandchildren.Rusty Sneiderman's parents are appealing to the court to have contact with their 6- and 3-year-old grandchildren. They are also asking the Division of Family and Children Services to perform "immediate and periodic welfare checks" on the children.In a court motion filed in Fulton County Superior Court, the grandparents said that ever since Rusty's widow, Andrea Sneiderman, has been charged in connection with her husband's death, their weekly Skype calls with the kids have been discontinued. The motion says the move "shows her willingness to continue to use the children as pawns."The family of Rusty Sneiderman already has a standing petition to take custody of the children away from their mother.Andrea Sneiderman was charged last Thursday on eight counts, including malice murder and criminal attempt to commit murder.Andrea's former boss, Hemy Neuman, was convicted earlier this year of murdering Rusty Sneiderman in November 2010.During Neuman's trial, his attorneys claimed that he was having an affair with Andrea Sneiderman. Andrea Sneiderman has denied those charges. Family law expert and attorney Corey Stern says with a custody fight, dueling wrongful death and slander lawsuits -- and the criminal charges -- there's so much all going on at once."In most cases you can sort of see a finish line, but in this case it's hard to see the finish line because there's about five or six different races taking place at the exact same time," said Stern.The motion filed by the Sneidermans calls the decision to stop the weekly Skype interviews "morally repugnant and not in the best interest of the children."Stern says it's the court's job to make sure the young children don't become a pawn in a larger fight."The court should, and probably will, be an impartial, unemotional but objective barometer for what is in the children's best interest and that is always going to be the standard for what happens to the kids," said Stern.Attorneys for both sides declined to comment about the case.

The Blame Game: where were the auditors?
Companies that uncover fraud are often surprised that the incident occurred in the first place. Whether due to lax internal controls, an ineffective managerial style, or simply the code of ethics that employees adhere to (or not, in this case) when evidence of fraud is found the entire organization is severely impacted and affected.
What is of even greater consequence to the board of directors once an act of fraud has been discovered is that oftentimes, their external auditors were not the ones who discovered it. Sure enough, whether the fraudulent activity is the work of one "underhanded" or "over-trusted" employee, or the great masterminding of the entire operations or finance departments, the question that almost always begs itself when the dust has settled is: "where were the auditors and why didn't they do their job right?" Other questions such as "how did it happen?" or "why couldn't it be prevented or detected by the existing setup of internal controls?" and "what went wrong and were controls been performed the way they were designed ?" are all very legitimate and relevant questions that many people skip as they focus primarily on a target to blame.
Why does the finger always point to external auditors? Should they really be blamed if fraudulent activity is not uncovered on their watch? Can responsibility solely be placed on an external and independent body – in this case the external auditors -- or should responsibility be shared with all the stakeholders, primarily those who, by intentional or unintentional negligence, have facilitated the fraudulent transactions?
Crime scene investigation: fraud
The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners 2012 Report to the Nation states that a typical organization loses 5% of its revenues to fraud annually. The report also states that Asset Misappropriation Schemes are the most prevalent type of occupational fraud, comprising 87% of the reported cases. Other recent surveys have concluded that restatements in financial statements have almost doubled in the past three years; equity, revenue recognition and misclassifications were the most conventional forms of these restatements.
Much like any other crime, motive and opportunity must be present in order for fraud to occur. First identified by sociologist Donald Cressey,* the "Fraud Triangle" adds one more factor to the above two: rationalization, to make up the three 'points' of the triangle. Motive in the triangle is represented by Incentive/Pressure, which often stems from a financial need or the need to achieve goals. Opportunity exists when the person committing the fraud sees an internal control weakness, perhaps coupled with overwhelming trust and negligence and, believing that detection will not occur, begins the process of fraud and gradually becomes bolder if the initial act goes undiscovered. Finally, rationalization is the process by which the person committing the fraud justifies the act to himself, allowing him to adjust the perception of what he is doing. Rationalizations may include ruminations such as "I will pay the money back" or the more severe "they don't pay me enough for my job so I'm only taking what is rightfully mine."
Fraud is, at times, hard to detect and the best defense against its occurrence is in the strength of a company's internal controls. It is management's responsibility to implement internal controls to prevent, detect and deter fraudulent financial reporting, to ensure an adequate "tone at the top" culture and a zero-tolerance policy vis-a-vis fraud. Yet even if all of the above procedures are adequately implemented, fraud can still occur as no system is foolproof and people's behavior cannot be controlled. What is more important in this case is its frequency and the time lapse until it is detected.
Not an everyday occurrence in any organization, the uncovering of any type of fraud leads to a blame game, whereby management, auditors, regulators and fraud examiners are quick to use each other as scapegoats in order to avoid being in the line of fire themselves. But is anyone really to blame? Enter the expectation gap.
Expectation gap: who should have done what?
The auditing profession has dubbed the discrepancy between what investors expect and what auditors actually do an "expectation gap." Many investors expect a foolproof audit, with somewhat of a guarantee as to the non-existence -- or absence -- of fraud or misstatements, irrespective of how immaterial they are, whereas audit firms have taken it upon themselves to educate the public as to their actual "role" in the financial statement audit, which does not include guaranteed fraud detection. The audit report -- the single most important deliverable the auditor offers -- further highlights auditors' limitations in finding fraud.
Because auditors do not examine every transaction or event that occurs in a company's fiscal year, there is no guarantee that all material misstatements, whether caused by error or fraud, will be detected. Interestingly, the very nature of external auditing precludes the notion that audits are 'foolproof.' Audit , along with concepts of materiality and time constraints, prevent the audit / inspection of every account and every transaction conducted by the audited firm, leading auditors to make judgments and decisions dictated by a risk assessment. Consequently, fraud might remain concealed to the external auditors even if a thorough audit is conducted.
As such, closing the expectation gap requires efforts from all involved parties. Management should be held accountable for the effectiveness and reliability of their internal controls, shareholders need to concede the fact that it is neither the auditors' responsibility, nor capability, to uncover all incidents of fraud.
Finally, the auditors themselves should conduct their audit whilst keeping an eye out for fraudulent activity. This entails investigating further any warning signs and red flags that may appear during the course of the audit and reporting them in a timely manner. Part of the audit scope entails assessing the control environment in place, and its effectiveness, for the purpose of designing the audit approach. Therefore, the objective is not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of these controls or assessing individuals' behaviors for indications of fraud. When all is said and done, audit quality should remain the practitioner's main responsibility.
To conclude
Fraud, a significant business risk, continues to be a prominent issue requiring the attention of regulators and the accounting profession alike, due to the challenges it presents. All stakeholders in an organization share the role of uncovering any warning signs and of coming up with counter measures in the event of its occurrence. Auditors, in their capacity as an external, independent body, should apply an attitude of professional skepticism with regards to fraud all the while steering along their primary course of ascertaining whether the financial statements of the company are stated fairly in all material respects.
In response to the initial question posed in this article of "why does the finger almost always point to the external auditors?" the answer is not as clear-cut as it first appeared to be. The common misconception is that external auditors – who are sometimes inaccurately perceived as being some sort of account 'detectives' or 'investigators' – will likely be able to uncover any fraudulent activity that may occur. That may be true to some extent but the very nature of fraud is collusive, at times preventing even the most experienced professional from uncovering its existence in a timely manner.
That said, the blame game will always exist so long as stakeholders attempt to protect themselves from accusations. Similarly, the expectation gap will always exist for the same reason. A well-known quote that comes to mind is: "When you point your finger at someone, you simultaneously point three fingers back at yourself." So who is to blame? Everybody and nobody.

Big companies use all the legal tools at their disposal to cut the amount they pay the government.
It's been a week since we all learned about General Electric's innovation in the corporate tax realm.
The company's vice president for communications and public affairs, Gary Sheffer, responded to The New York Times' story breaking the GE's tax saving situation via a letter in Thursday's newspaper:
It was significant losses at GE Capital in the financial crisis, not 'tax avoidance' strategies, that reduced General Electric's 2010 overall tax ratebelow historic levels.
Without these financial crisis losses at GE Capital, G.E.'s tax rate would have been near the average of other multinational corporations. Our tax rate will return to more normal levels this year as GE Capital recovers from the financial crisis. In short, when you lose money, you don't pay taxes, and that's what happened at GE Capital.
The Times points out that G.E.'s job numbers in the United States are down over the past decade, but does not provide the context: G.E.'s employment in the United States has increased in this period, apart from the sale of businesses. Those jobs weren't eliminated; they moved to other companies.
While the GE tax situation has highlighted the corporate tax reform debate, the company is not alone in finding ways to reduce, or eliminate, tax liabilities.
The Daily Beast has put together a gallery of 15 major corporate tax dodgers. The website focused on the largest American companies, as well as ones it says are "are notorious in accounting circles for consistency in doing whatever they can to minimize their U.S. tax liability."
The men in this poll don't look like good husband material: They think they're 'special' and would cheat in other situations, too.
This post is from Matt Brownell at MainStreet.
About 15% of Americans cheat on their taxes, and those that do are typically young single men.
That's the finding of a survey conducted by the marketing firm DDB Communications, which asked approximately 6,400 Americans whether they intended to cheat on their taxes. Of the 15% who said yes, a substantial majority -- 64% -- were identified as single, male and under the age of 45.
So what compels these eligible bachelors to swindle Uncle Sam? On the face of it, money issues seem to be a common thread. Forty-two percent insisted they were "one missed paycheck away from disaster," while just 29% of non-cheaters said the same of their financial situation.
Yet a closer look at the conspiring cheaters suggests that it's not a simple case of economically-desperate people forced into tax malfeasance. There seems to be an undercurrent of narcissism at play here as well.

Voters support higher taxes on the wealthy, but governors and legislatures are hesitant.
This article is by Robert Frank and Laura Saunders of The Wall Street Journal.
In the partisan fight over taxing the rich, state "millionaire's taxes" have emerged as the latest and most hotly contested battleground.
In New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Oregon and California, state governors are at war with legislatures over taxing their state's highest earners to plug revenue gaps.
Advocates of the taxes say that with the wealthy riding the recovery of stock markets and global growth, and with less fortunate Americans facing unemployment and a housing slump, the top earners can best afford to foot the government's bills. Opponents say the taxes amount to a redistribution of wealth and encourage runaway government spending.
Polls show that many voters support taxing the top 1% or 2% of earners in each state. A Marist Poll, for instance, found that 64% of New York voters support preserving New York's millionaire's tax, which hits residents of the state who earn $500,000 or more a year.
That email is NOT from the IRS. Also, be careful with your files, both paper and electronic, to avoid identity theft.
This article is by Kimberly Lankford of Kiplinger's Personal Finance.
While you're spending time preparing your tax returns this spring, scam artists are hard at work figuring out ways to steal your money and your identity. ID thieves are particularly active during tax time because your return contains all the information they need -- your Social Security number, name, address, work information, investment accounts -- to open accounts in your name or steal your refund.
"Everything is there," says Robert Siciliano, an ID-theft expert. But there are some simple precautions you can take to stay a step ahead of the bad guys.
Federal tax of 10 cents a roll to upgrade sewer systems would be the ultimate user tax and ease the squeeze on city funds.
If Washington, D.C., is going to demand that local governments upgrade their sewer systems, then Washington, D.C., should help pay for the improvements.
And what better way than a federal excise tax on toilet paper?
The extra 10 cents on every roll of toilet paper was one of the ideas from Omaha, Neb., Mayor Jim Suttle, who's looking for ways to help pay his city's $1.7 billion federally mandated sewer project cost.
Given the linking of taxes and bathroom humor, the toilet paper tax proposal pops up across the country now and then.
Suttle admits that he got the idea from an Oregon lawmaker who suggested a similar plan a couple of years ago as a way to help cities and the environment. But the
Midwest mayor thinks the time might actually be right for such a tax.

Almost 100 offices nationwide will be open to answer questions and help with returns. We also have tips on other sources of free tax-return help.
Tax day is fast approaching. This year you get a few extra days, but you might want to start working on your tax return now to get it sent to the Internal Revenue Service by the April 18 deadline.
Remember, the IRS doesn't want to hear any lame excuses. If you can't pay your taxes, you still need to file by the deadline to avoid penalties.
If you need some help, the IRS will have offices open this Saturday throughout the country to provide free help to taxpayers. The offices will be open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time Saturday, March 26.
"We are opening our doors on these Saturdays to help taxpayers who may not have a chance to seek assistance during the work week," IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman said in a news release. "If taxpayers need help preparing their tax returns or have an account question, we encourage them to visit one of our open houses."
Start by filing on time and paying as much as you can. Ignoring the problem will just make it worse.
This article is by Mary Beth Franklin of Kiplinger's Personal Finance.

What if you owe money to the IRS but don't have the cash to pay the bill?
Don't panic, but don't ignore the problem, either. File your 2010 tax return by the April 18 deadline, even if you can't pay the full amount you owe. The late-payment penalty is 0.5% per month of the unpaid amount, up to 25% of the balance. Still, that's a lot better than the failing-to-file penalty of 5% a month.
Pay as much of your tax bill as you can when you file your return, to reduce the penalties and interest that will continue to accrue until the balance is paid in full. Then wait for the IRS to send you a bill for the balance. That should take about 45 days and give you some time to come up with some or all of the cash.
The IRS is having problems processing the returns of those who got the 2008 homebuyer tax credit. It's a small but vocal group.
This has not been a good filing season for the Internal Revenue Service.
First, Congress screwed around into December before passing tax laws that apply to 2010 returns. That forced the IRS to push back the start of the 2011 filing season for many taxpayers as it reprogrammed its computers.
Then, thanks to a glitch in those computers, the IRS erroneously demanded payments of folks whose direct tax debits are in the works.
Now there's a passel of first-time homebuyer credit claimants who are not happy about another IRS glitch that's placed their tax returns and, in some cases, their refunds in limbo.
The problem is with filers who claimed the original $7,500 homebuyer credit for the 2008 tax year. It wasn't really a credit back then. Instead, it was a 15-year, no-interest loan that has to be paid back, starting with 2010 tax returns.

text: Finally I have found a minimal trail running shoe that I can forget about ... and just run! I have tried so many different brands of trail running shoe and none of them have so far done what I wanted. Either the grip wasnt adequate, they were too heavy or too flimsy or just plain uncomfortable. This shoe however, ticks all the boxes. Its light, has a wide toebox, grips ridiculously well and has great ground feel without being too thin and flimsy. I have now run with this shoe through thick goopy mud, wet rock, sand and pretty much everything else in between and its handled the lot. What I love is that this is not just a great trail shoe, but it also runs road really well too. I wouldnt want to waste the tread by running too many road miles, but when it does come to it and you have to hit the road, it runs smooth and evenly. The zero drop feels great, and the slight cushioning just allows a few more miles and some harder hits on uneven ground. Overall... 5*. Ill be getting another pair for sure when these give up.

I keep getting messages from MyHeritage.com, saying that there are SmartMatches for my family tree, or that various people want access to my tree.
When I go to their site, however, I cannot do anything about these, because I get this message:
Your family tree has 10,592 people. This exceeds the Basic subscription plan of your family site.
In order for your family tree to display all people, you must upgrade the site plan.
We have an Easter special: 30% discount on our Premium plan! But hurry up, this offer expires very soon.
Now I never subscribed to their site, with a basic plan or any other. I did not enter those 10 592 people on their site, so if it "exceeds" their basic plan, that is their problem, not mine.
They never asked me for my permission to put their data on their site, yet they seem to have done so, and now want me to pay them to have access to my own data, and to respond to the 19 other people who have asked my permission to access it because they think it matches something in their family tree.
There seems to be something unethical about this whole operation, in fact it seems to be yet another genealogy scam.
They stole my data without my permission, and now they want me to pay them to access it, or to give other people access to it.

text: Washington Information When you visit Washington Destination Routes Etihad Offices Facts The City Do & See Dining Essential Information Think BIG in Washington – as soon as you arrive in DC, you'll be knocked over by the scale of the place. America's capital wants you to know where you are, and the city goes all out to impress in terms of grandeur and size. Drama and scandal bubble under the surface while the streets are abuzz with hip and happening events, museums, restaurants and clubs around every corner. The principles of Equality, Justice, Life and Liberty are still upheld, but DC is, above all, a trendy and international town. Facts Population 581,000 Currency US Dollar, $1 = 100 cents Opening hours General opening hours for shops are 10am-7pm/9pm Monday-Saturday. Noon-5pm/6pm Sunday. Some shops are closed on Sundays. Newspapers Publications: The Washington Post The Washington City Paper On Tap (free) Georgetown Independent Tourist information DC Chamber of Commerce Information Center Address: 1300 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Ronald Reagan Building Opening hours: Monday to Friday 9am to 4:30 pm, closed on Saturday and Sunday. Washington is a city of contrasts. While it might be best recognized in its political role, DC wants the world to know that it has much more to offer than governmental gossip and diplomatic deals. Divided into districts, each neighbourhood represents another distinct feature that adds to the diverse characteristics breathing life into the city. While isolated Georgetown is bustling with new, trendy boutiques and restaurants, Shaw, once the site of racial tension and riot, is undergoing a revitalization program to make it a hot destination for African-American heritage tours. Downtown might offer theatres, galleries and the best Chinese food in the Chinatown restaurants, while the New U district, where Duke Ellington once played, is the in vogue neighborhood for hearing live music. And amid all this, let's not forget the political and military monuments and memorials along the National Mall. It is in this area that you'll also find the wonderful Smithsonian complex of museums. The city is a melting pot of cultures and communities, which have a fantastic influence on restaurants in particular. Whatever your culinary preferences, DC can cater to them, be it French, American or Ethiopian. Spread out across the city, all the choices are on offer. Additionally, one of the key aspects of Washington, DC is that, despite being crammed with different tastes, smells, sights and sounds, it is not claustrophobic. DC's neighborhoods are spread out over an expanse that is broken up by generous oases of green space, giving the city that sense of liberation and harmony which it strives to promote. Washington D.C is the capital of patriotic monuments and symbols of political power.
