Amalfi Ristorante Italiano
Online Reservations
This is a fantastic small place that treats you like family. The food is the best and the service is second to none. I have never seen a staff so attentive. My waiter tonight, Oscar, made me feel like I was the only customer in the place,. If you have not been to Amalfi I would highly recommend you try this restaurant.
If you have never been to Amalfi's you must go, you will love it. This is my favorite restaurant because the food is always excellent and the staff are so friendly. I have tried many items on the menu and I have not found anything that was not superb. My waiter, Mark, was excellent as always. He was so helpful, attentive, and I may add quite funny and made my dining experience very nice. I highly recomend you try Amalfi!!!
I have been coming to this restuarant for years. I always enjoy the experience, the food, the service and of course the company I am with. Italian food is my favoriate and the food here is always delicious. I NEVER take home leftovers.
My husband had often been in this restaurant about 30 years ago when he lived in Bethesda. He had talked about it so much (specially the white pizza and the veal) that being in Washington visiting we made the 30 min drive for dinner. The restaurant was everything we expected. The food was great and the service was excellent.
Excellent food and outstanding service. We were treated like important guests at someone's homes. One if our favorite spots. Don't the location discourage you!
This restaurant is a must if fabulous food and extroidinary service is what you want and expect from a restaurant. I have been a frequent diner at this family owned restaurant for some time and I am always very pleased by the service and food. I have been to some of the top restaurants in DC area and none compare to this place in terms of service and food for the price. Once again I had Oscar for my waiter and as in the past he was superb! This place is the best....
The Amalfi's food was very tasty and well prepared from an extensive menu. The service was very friendly and excellent. Very much worth a regular visit.
Amalfi was recommended to me by a friend. My husband and I went for lunch and started with the White Cheese Pizza, which was perfectly made. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan, which was delicious (exactly the right amount of breading and sauce) and came in a hearty portion size. My husband ordered the Sausage and Peppers and ate every last morsel. We didn't have room for dessert but we'll definitely be trying out the desserts when we return!
I've been going to Amalfi's for years. The hospitality, good food and reasonable prices make this a wonderful family restaurant. This is not on the cutting-edge, but that's OK. We need these good, old-fashioned, reliable restaurants. And the white pizza is the best I've had anywhere.
If you have never been to Amalfi's you must try this fantastic restaurant. You will love it and keep coming back for more. I have. I have been to this fabulous place many times and I was hooked the very first visit. The food is out of this world and the staff go above and beyond which my waiter, Oscar did this past Saturday. He was very attentive and helped make my dining experience a real pleasure. I will say it again, if you have not eaten at Amalfi's go and try it, you will love it.
Serice weas exceptional and and there are a large number of choices for peopke who do not eat meat. Everthing we had was delicious.
There's a reason Amalfi has been around for over 30 years. Several actually. The food is basic Italian but very well done. No black truffle oil or squid ink pasta here, but the sauces, the pasta and the seafood are all fresh and fantastic. Service is very friendly and attentive. The location can seem a little off-putting but don't let it deter you; once inside you will be very glad you came. The trout special I had was one of the best pieces of fish I've enjoyed in quite a while.
If I could I would give this restaurant 6 stars because the food and service is that good! I have tried many items on their menu and have loved everything. The chef is absolutely amazing and offer dishes that are fabulous. As always, the service was amazing. My waiter George is new but you would never know it by the way he handled himself. He was very attentive and knowledgeable. Bravo Amalfi!!
We have always gotten good food and good service at Amalfi's. The servers try hard to please. The bread including onion rolls were exceptional. This is one of the few restaurants where you can get veal dishes at an affordable price.
This place is the best Italian restaurant in the DC area, and I've been to many Italian restaurants. As always the service was superb. John, my waiter always gives 150 percent to all his customers and makes you feel like you are the only customer in the place. I tried their white pizza and it was incredible and a must for an appetizer. If you haven't been to Amalfi restaurant you are missing so much.
We found Amalfi on OpenTable and had pretty low expectations, wanting only to avoid another convention hotel room service meal. Wow! The best, completely authentic Caesar salad I've had in decades, started us off with a smile. Yummy onion foccacia in the bread basket. Veal saltimbocca, perfectly sauced. Very nice Carbonara that my teenage dining companion called "truly delectable." Our server was attentive and made solid recommendation Cannoli and mud pie were delicious. 100% favorable recommendation and I'm not an easy road warrior to please. Try Amalfi. Your only challenge will be finding it -- GPS required of non-locals. But plenty of parking and a meal you'll remember. Bravo.
We have been going to Amalfi's since 1981 enjoying our usual favorites, veal and eggplant Parmesan as well as many others over the years. Friendly service every time; wish we could take them with us when we move. A special find in Rockville.
Once again the food and servie was fantastic. I have been to this restaurant many times and I can never get enough of the food. Each dish is excellent and the servie is the best I have ever seen. George, my waiter, was very attentive and helped make my dining experience superb. If you have not been to Amalfi's you must go.
Amalfi's should be listed in the National Register of Historic Places, except then they probably wouldn't be able to serve food, which would be a national tragedy. You'll forget all about the sketchy neighborhood after a limoncello martini and their house salad, which is a meal in itself.
Great, friendly service and excellent food, esp. gnocchi and homemade lemonade.
Excellent food preparation and service!! Will go back.
Amalfi is a family owned and operated gem of a restaurant. All food is cooked fresh to order, substitutions are never a problem. My family and I have been eating delicious food here since they opened in the 1970's. The menu is varied, there are specials every night and each and every dish that comes out of the kitchen is always perfect. There is nothing on the menu that I wouldn't recommend! Do yourself a favor and seek out this hidden gem, you won't be disappointed!
A wonderful return to excellence, good food, great new decor, and attention to the patrons.
This has been my "go to" place since moving here from NY. The food is very good and consistently prepared. The service couldn't be more accommodating. Parmigiana dishes the way I remember them from the neighborhood restaurants I ate at in Brooklyn, and soft shell crabs that are better than I've had anywhere else.
The food was very good. Definitely a family owned business and the family takes pride in their food and service. Great menu with specials every night. The lighting is a little bright, however the food makes it worthwhile.
We have been coming here for years and are never disappointed. Very authentic and unpretentious. Just delicious food and friendly service.
our dining experience was, as usual, enjoyable-- pleasant staff and good food. Waiter was attentive and overall all was good. We can usually count on Amalfi to have a varied menu and excellent service.
we had dinner there with a group of 8. The food was very good, but several of us had the daily special - goat cheese ravioli. The portion size was much too small - it was about 6 medium sized ravioli. All of us that had that dish agreed that we were still very hungry after eating our entree. The people that ordered the other meals had good sized plates, and plenty of food, so maybe it was just an issue with that particular entree. The service was very good, and the prices are very good, and again - the food itself was very good. I would definitely go back and try other things to see how the portion sizes are overall.
This was my first visit and my immediate impression.....this is now my go-to for excellent food and excellent service. I will recommend Amalfi's to everyone. Can't wait to have out of town guests to show off my new find. Another thing.....we were treated like royalty......very rare these days.
Every town should have an Amalfi's, but not this one. You can't have this one. :-) Amalfi's is a Montgomery County icon and deservedly so. The service is a textbook example of how to operate a restaurant and the food is reliably excellent and a cut above the typical neighborhood joint. We spend our anniversaries and birthdays here because we're with our friends who make great Italian food the way we like it. It's that simple.
Dined at Amalfi's again and was treated to another great meal. I have tried many items on their menu and have always walked away completely satisfied. Kudos to the chef. In addition to the food being second to none the service at this restaurant is the best I have ever seen. Even though the place was packed my waiter Jeremy treated me like I was the only patron in the place. Great job Jeremy. I will say this again, if you have never been to Amalfi's you are missing so much. Excellent job guys!!!
Simply great food and great service at its best. A local italian restaurant gem.
I have been dining at Amalfi 's for years and always have a great meal there. The food is consistently good. My wife had eggplant parmasean and she said it was the best she had ever had! I had a veal dish that was also wonderful. Great local place to dine!
Great food good service. My family seems to like their cheese ravioli.
Amalfi Ristorante Italiano is hidden away in a little known somewhat industrial area in Rockville that serves excellent Italian food. One family that has lived in Maryland more than thirty years considers the Amalfi its favorite restaurant. One young person only recently introduced to the Amalfi found it to be a great restaurant. Skip the glitzier places on The Pike, and go to the Amalfi. You will be glad you did.
Had a group in from out-of-town and immediately thought of Amalfi as the place to go. They did not disappoint!
Amalfi's is by far the best restaurant in the DC area. I have been to many other restaurants and none come close to the quality of food and service That you get at Amalfi. The waiters are incredibly attentive and my waiter on Friday, Jeremy, made me feel that I was his only customer in the place even though the place was packed. Great job once again Jeremy. If you have not been to AmalfiI you are missing so much.
We come here regularly and introduce others for their first time. Nicest people in the restaurant business. Food keeps getting better, if that is possible! Thanks to all the staff there.
OMG, hold on to your taste buds! This restaurant makes the best pasta, egg plant Parmesan, and veal. The sauces explode with flavor! The entire meal was amazing ...
We enjoyed a delicious dinner, beautifully served by our waiter, the son of the owner. We have been coming here for years, but it has vastly improved since the new owners took over several years ago.
We enjoy the friendly atmosphere as well as the good food. We have been coming to Amali's for years and are never disappointed.
You would never expect to have a decent restaurant in this location - surrounded by warehouses, garages, and small shops. However, both food and ambiance are above average. The service is equally good as well. I had a very nice lamb shank - which was mistakenly called Osso buco, But regardless of what they called it - it was a delicious meal. Will definitely come back.
I especially love all the appetizers, and their white pizza with fontina is the best!! Their fried zucchini is also exceptional! One of my favorite dinners is the shrimp fra diavolo. We travel from VA to eat here!!
Amalfi's is my top pick for an Italian restaurant. The fresh breads they put on the table are delicious, but my meal also has to start with their white pizza with cheese. All of the entrees I've had are wonderful, but my first choice is the mushroom tortellini. At this most recent visit I discovered a new favorite: butternut squash soup with lump crabmeat and asparagus. The soup broth by itself was very good, but with the addition of large lumps of sweet crabmeat, it was absolutely awesome!
We have been visiting Amalfi's for more than 30 years. Last year they re-did the appearance and now they have upgraded their menu. The old standards are there, but now they have gone somewhat organic. Our last visit this weekend was one of the best ever. The white pizza with a side of marinara still remains a favorite.
We have been coming to the restaurant for years but Friday night's veal marsala was extraordinarily good. I wanted to lick the plate clean. It's also nice to have a "fresh" salad rather than one out of the bag.
My co-workers and I go here every year for our Christmas lunch (and in between of course). The service is always outstanding and the food is always perfect! Authentic Italian and worth every penny! I recommend Amalfi's very frequently to friends and out of towners.
Outstanding food which is probably the reason for the slow delivery of our food. Good food takes time to prepare.
Went on a Saturday nite for my mother's birthday (87 years old). Had a group of 8 including a 4 year old. They could not have been more accommodating for all of us. Very good food, all the chicken dishes were very good. Prices are quite reasonable, even a bargain for what you get. Service was very friendly and quick but sort of unfocused. We are definitely going back, I want to try some of the pasta dishes. Can be a little hard to find, but well worth the effort.
We've been going to Amalfi's for many years and continue to return because the food and service is the best. It's always an enjoyable experience whether dining with just my wife or our entire family plus friends.

F1 discussion
There has been a lot of debate after the announcement of Sky partly taking over the F1 broadcasting rights in the UK from 2012. It is sometimes argued that good quality just doesn't come for free and that if F1 fans want to watch high quality coverage, they should be ready to pay for it. This is not a bad argument. However, I believe that the thing is a bit more complicated. Many of fans simply cannot afford to pay hundreds of pounds / euros / dollars to watch F1 no matter how much they would want to. Some could find the money but then they would need to refuse from something else, probably going to one F1 race per year or buying F1 merchandise. I don't believe there are many who have large balances on their bank accounts and complain about the new order just because they are greedy.
So I would like to ask you the following:
1) Do you spend some money on F1 or get along with what is available for free (websites, free-to-air TV coverage)?
2) What kind of F1 related items do you usually buy and how often? Race tickets, magazines, books, model cars, teamwear, DVDs,…?
3) Do you save money by refusing from something just to be able to spend it on F1 related stuff? I mean, do you buy less clothes, avoid eating out or do whatever else just because so there is more left for F1?
4) Approximately how big part of your "entertainment budget" is spent on F1? One tenth, one third, one half?
Great thread Girts!
I live in the UK.
1) At the moment all I pay is my TV License Fee for the broadcast through the BBC. ~�12.00/month I am already a Sky Sports subscriber which costs me in the region of ~�75.00/month (this also covers my TV XL package with Virgin Media (perhaps you can knock �20.00 off for that as I don't need it for F1) and �20.00 of that includes my net connection I use mainly for this website!) All the above costs are split 3 ways.
2) I don't buy F1 related stuff for myself so much, people tend to do it around Christmas/Birthday time for me. I did buy myself an RBR flag and Ferrari hat last year from Silverstone which cost me ~�50 in total.
3) The biggest cost to me to enjoy F1 is currently what I pay to watch it. Considering I get more out of my TV and Internet package than just F1 it's almost impossible to quantify how much it costs me and it also just gets paid like any other bills you have in a household. Basically I don't set any money aside for F1, my cost to watch it is already accounted for before I come to my disposable income.
4) For 18/19 races this season, the cost to enjoy them is covered by the cost of my bills which is detailed in the above point. I'm going to Monza this year. ~�80 for the ticket, ~�135 for a hostel, ~�140 travel, ~�400 spending money. I went to Silverstone last year which probably cost me slightly less than Monza is doing this year (I camped) but value for money wise I found it incredibly good and as a result I know it will be this year too.
To summarise. To enjoy F1 in my current capacity is more than manageable for me and I could afford to spend more if I wanted to or needed to. At the moment I don't need to.
Love this thread!
1) I just pay the TV licence to watch F1 and use the internet to follow the news – I don't (yet) have Sky or anything like that.
2) I spend quite a bit on F1 related stuff. At the Goodwood Festival of Speed last month I spent nearly �400 on models, T-shirts, hats and books. I usually buy a model every month or so, and will occasionally buy a DVD, book, T-shirt, hat or something else F1 related.
3)I don't really sacrifice much financially to spend more on F1, but I do sacrifice a social life sometimes to ensure I see the best of it. A couple of years ago, one of my best friends organised a big night out as a farewell before he went trekking across South and Central America for 3 months. I went to his house for a few drinks, but then as everyone went off into town I stayed there and went to bed. Why? Because the next morning was the Malaysian Grand Prix, and I didn't want to watch it with a hangover or, god forbid, turn off my alarm and miss it! Luckily my friends know how much of a fanatic I am and accommodate me…
4) In a general month, I'd say roughly 50-60% of my 'leisure budget' is spent on F1, on the things I mentioned in point 2. Some months though, such as if I'm going to the Festival of Speed or to meet up with F1 Fanatics to watch a race, I will spend all of my leisure budget on F1 (and also sacrifice leisure money from the surrounding months) so that I can fully enjoy the experience.
1) 22�/month, though that's not strictly just for F1 (my pay-tv subscription includes Eurosport and other channels as well).
2) I used to subscribe to F1 Racing in late 90s and early 00s, but these days… maybe something small and random a few times a year (a keychain, a cheap book etc.).
3) Not really. I'm on a pretty tight budget anyway.
4) About 2/3. I pretty much stopped buying DVDs after HD came along (and I don't have a BR player), I buy music once or twice a year and so on. My main source of entertainment is teh inttarwebs, which costs a whopping 10e/month.
I can relate to your 3rd point Dan.
Last year I was at a party and drank too much Southern Comfort. As a result I reluctantly skipped qualifying in Melbourne. I was very annoyed with myself and now I make sure that I have an easy night if F1 follows early morning.
Dan/ Andrew- I hate watching F1 on a hangover too! But sometimes it's the lesser of two evils, and it's better just to get out and have fun.
Anyway, being an F1 really doesn't cost me much at all. I mean, it requires a TV, an aerial, a TV license, an internet connection etc, but I'd have all these things even if F1 didn't exist. But, there are a few F1 things I've spent money over the years:
- Tens of F1 magazines over the past decade (though I haven't bought one for over a year now) - 7 F1 games for the PS1/2/3. This probably cost about �200, though it's spread over 15 years - Every season review video/ DVD since 1998 - Loads of F1 books… 11 annuals, some biographies, and others - Three F1 T-shirts which I bought back in June (though they only cost �25 between them)
So, I've probably spent hundreds of pounds on F1 related stuff in my life, but this is spread over several years, so the effect on my coffers is quite negligible
It's a pretty significant source of both expenditure and income for me!
I pay the TV license, but apart from that I use free websites. I did join Autosport Plus during pre-season testing because they had a special offer and I wanted to read the live updates. But that'a about it.
2) What kind of F1 related items do you usually buy and how often? Race tickets, magazines, books, model cars, teamwear, DVDs,…? I sometimes buy Autosport, and if I buy it then it has to be a special issue eg: amazing race, season summary. I also bought a mug from Unlap.
Nope. Barely have enough money for normal life so can't really spend extra on F1. Although I am going to spend the money I earn from my part-time job on BTCC tickets.
I don't have an entertainment budget as such. So none. I try to avoid spending money and get things for free by entering competitions. So far I have won a picture of Jerome d'Ambrosio, tickets to Silverstone (but I couldn't go) and a signed photo of my favourite GP2/3 driver.
Well, as there is 5 Job going Adults in the house, we all chip in for phone bills / rent / tv stuff, so �30 a year from me for TV.. We will not get sky.
End of season DVD, ALWAYS! and the F1 Yearbook. (99 – 10, all collected) And sometimes the occasional t-shirt, model. but not bought one in ages.
I did put money aside for F12010 game. .. �30 (I don't buy games at 40, unless its called Gran Turismo)
Not much.
I'm probably a very bad F1 fan when it comes to spending money on the sport…
1) Currently �145.50 per year for my TV licence. Next year that will be �0
2) I have a few F1 books. I never buy the DVD's, and as for merchandice, I have a Jenson Button T-shirt from 2004, and some licenced Scalextric cars. And the F12010 game, but the vast majority of these were gifts. I've been to 2 British Grand Prix. the first in 2004 cost me �100, the second, last year, was a gift.
3) Nope, never
4) Minimal amounts.
I spend mostly on computers.But this year I bought an IPS which TV so that I can watch F1 dispite power cut.
It's really interesting to read your stories! I thought a bit and tried to find answers to the questions myself:
1) For quite a long time, I did spend only tiny amounts of money on F1 but that has changed in the last couple of years. I still don't pay anything for the TV coverage and I would need an internet connection anyway (even if I wasn't interested in F1) so that doesn't count. But I have been a subscriber of Autosport Plus since the beginning of 2010.
2) In addition to paying for Autosport Plus, I buy F1 magazines occasionally (that is, whenever I am in Germany), books, season review DVDs (2006-2011) and team flags. The biggest expense so far has been Nurburgring 2009 race tickets and other costs related to this trip.
3) So far, I don't think I have sacrificed anything financially. That said, I am going to the Belgian GP in three weeks and it looks like after that weekend my account balance will be such that I will be forced to reduce some of my usual expenses in September… And, just like Dan Thorn, I also once didn't take part in a party just to be able to watch F1 on the next day!
4) Normally it's maybe a bit less than one half of my "leisure budget" but when I'm going to a race, the figure might be equal to my total monthly income.
For me right now, it's a bit easier being an F1Fanatic than most others as I still live with the family, parents and two brothers so spending has never really been a factor. But it's all going to change over the next few months.
I've posted it in one of the articles before, (the one with the announcement), but I'll say it here since it's relevant. About a year and a half ago, my family had to get rid of Sky because we couldn't afford it anymore. The cancellation was down a certain circumstance and the effect is still being felt now. If the announcement had been made 2 years ago, then it wouldn't have been that bad for me, but it's happened now, at a really bad time financially for us. And I took the news pretty badly… I cried… twice…
Nevertheless, a lot can change in the next 7 months.
The last F1 related thing I bought was a Mark Webber T-Shirt at Silverstone 2010. I also have a few playstation F1 games (F1 97 is awesome), a few books, two video documentaries on Damon Hill and Eddie Irvine, a Kimi Raikkonen hat, a Ferrari shirt, a black T-Shirt simply with 'West' on it, a Hot Wheels MP4/17D Raikkonen model and a couple of Scalextric F1 cars.
Also, I've got a sizeable collection of F1 reviews dating back to 1989, looking forward to 2011 this Christmas ;)
Well I tend to avoid spending money whenever possible, time for me to get a job. :P
We'll find out next year. It's definitely certain I won't be getting Sky again, but for the races that aren't shown live on the BBC…
a) I'll just watch extended highlights on BBC and desperately try not to find out the result, it'll be just like watching F3 on Motors TV again. b) My girlfriend has Sky, I could watch the live races there. c) My brother may be moving out soon and he says he might be getting Sky. d) Might be illegal but this is how much I love F1… My dad has a satellite that can get quite a lot of global channels. Find one with live F1 and dub Radio 5 live over it.
or hidden option e) The BBC actually listens to F1 fans and take back full control ;)
I subscribed to 2 PayTVs, yes 2, one satellite for my hometheater, the other a cable connection came together bundled with my internet connection in the bedroom.
Race tickets for me and the missus, 2 times a year. Been subscribing to F1 Racing UK for sometimes, printed edition in the past but now I get the digital edition to read on my iPad much cheaper. Books, of course – technicals, season reviews, biographies, etc. Teamwear: McLaren, Redbull, MGP, usually I buy at the circuit during GP weekends. Lastly season review DVDs each and every year since 2005, hopefully there'll be Blurays starting 2011.
Yes, cutting other expenses so I can go to GPs weekend and getting the best seats…
Apart from a TV license, I don't spend any money on F1. I won't be paying for Sky.
I don't buy merchandise, and I no longer subscribe to F1Racing magazine (too expensive, and with the pace of F1 news these days, it's out of date by the time it lands on the doormat).
I've never been to a race. I'd love to, and I live conveniently close to Silverstone, but for me it's prohibitively expensive. I was considering planning a holiday in Turkey to attend the Turkish GP next year (given that it's a great track, and the tickets are some of the cheapest on the calendar). But now it looks like the GP will be cancelled; perhaps I'll go to the Hungaroring instead.

By Steve DeVane Staff writer
SOUTHERN PINES - Southern Pines town leaders are considering upgrades to the Downtown Park.
The park is bordered by East Pennsylvania and New York avenues and Ashe and Southeast Broad streets. Bob Koontz, a land planner with Hobbs, Upchurch & Associates; Lynn Anderson, an architect with Anderson Architecture; and Vince Zucchino, a landscape architect with Vince Zucchino Associates, worked on the proposed renovations.
Members of the Town Council discussed the plan at three meetings in October and November, and heard comments from the public at their Nov. 13 meeting.
Several residents questioned spending money on the park, with much of the focus on a 7,500-square-foot meeting house expected to cost about $5.5 million. The total cost of the project is about $7.5 million.
Greg Zywocinski, who said he is past president of the Southern Pines Business Association and past chairman of the Southern Pines Appearance Commission, said he strongly opposes the plan.
"This is, in my opinion, a colossal waste of taxpayer money," he said. "This is government run amuck."
Town Manager Reagan Parsons told council members at their Nov. 7 agenda meeting that a "concerted campaign" appeared to be aimed at opposing the building.
Koontz said the proposal allows town leaders to decide when they want to do various upgrades.
"This is a 30-year plan," he said. "We don't envision that meeting house being built any time in the near future."
Anderson said the plan is meant to be flexible and simple. She said many town residents had asked why the park needed the meeting hall.
"We realized from the get-go that this was going controversial," she said.
Mayor Pro Tem Mike Fields said at an Oct. 22 work session that he thinks the building would probably be the last part of the park to be completed.
The park is already home to a town administration building.
Zucchino, who also worked on the proposal, said the plan keeps in place Magnolia trees believed to be more than 100 years old. Zucchino said a stage in an entertainment pavilion would allow orchestra concerts and plays to be held in the park.
"You could do all sorts of events there," he told the council at the work session.
A figure-eight walkway would go around two open areas called the "great lawn" and the "amphitheater lawn." Koontz said the larger circle would hold about 850 people.
The plan also includes a memorial garden where monuments honoring veterans from other areas could be relocated, three tennis courts, two basketball courts, a playground and a "splash pad" with randomly spraying water features.
Council member Chris Smithson said the plan addresses many needs.
"I think you've done a great job of making this space do a lot and mean a lot to the whole community," he said.
The council is expected to talk about the park at a work session Monday. The proposal could be on the council's agenda at its regular meeting Dec. 12.

Christian Audigier Shoot at Treasure Island 2008
on Dec.02, 2008,
In August 2008 Meli, Kat Ward, my assistant Neo and I flew to Las Vegas to shoot the ad campaign for the new Christian Audgier club at Treasure Island. Paul Rippen's from B&P Advertising is in charge of advertising for the Light Group. There were 70 people on set! Big production…a lot of pressure. Thank god Bryan was there to make sure the cast was having a great time (too much fun at times…!) Looking forward to more shoots with Paul, and Molly Murray (producer) and the Lightgroup.
This is Molly the producer dancing with the talent for a shot

Performance Measures | | Print | |
Supplemental Education ServicesA major and critical measure of district and academy performance is expressed through the Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) reports. This analysis is a measure used to hold schools and districts accountable for student achievement in Reading and Mathematics. AYP in Michigan is based upon the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) results, student participation ratios in the MEAP process and student attendance or graduation rates. Currently, the Elementary Academy have not met AYP requirements. The Elementary is classified as being in Phase 3 of improvement. The consequences related to these phases are comprehensive and have required that our district responds with Supplemental Educational Services (SES) activities. These services provide additional tutorial support to eligible students without a charge to parents. For more information, or to make arrangements to secure these services, parents may contact our SES Coordinator, Crystal Matthews at (313) 259-1744. The following approved companies are working with our district to assist us in this process:

How to type these special letters from European languages in latex? ä, é, and L'?
Save your file as UTF-8 and put
in your preamble. Then you can just type the characters normally into your source file. Or, use XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX which accepts UTF-8 input natively. In that case you need to add
to your preamble. If your text editor doesn't support UTF-8 encoded files, you should probably get another editor. But if you're stuck with one, you can also use:
and save the files in the default encoding for your machine. | |||||
You can type | |||||||||||||||||||||
You can use Detexify. Just draw your symbol, and it will figure out what you need to type! Much easier than plowing through endless symbol tables :). | ||||

Ditto to all negative comments. The location was wonderful, the food was good, but the rooms need updating, and for late fall visitors, the space heater, (seriously!), is not enough. Great people, barely adequate rooms.

The owners are friendly and seem to want to please, but the rooms are in need of major restoration. The phonebooth size bathrooms have been redone, but there is so much iron in the water that the toilet and shower are already stained. There were no towel bars or toilet paper holder in the bathroom!

After this year's Floydfest my boyfriend and I were in need of belly filling food and a warm happy environment. Tuggles Gap provided just that!!!

One would assume in this day and time that hotels have air conditioning. Don't assume. This hotel has no air conditioning and the water has a strong iron/sulpher smell and taste. Our room had a musty smell, the windows wouldn't open and there wasn't even a ceiling fan. The bed was awful - hard and very squeaky. The sheets were... More
Empty beer bottles on the table outside my room. No Internet. Electrical outlets don't accept a ground plug. Don''t know what was in the toilet. Water was sulphinated so after I took a shower, I smelled like a burnt match all day. Didn't know they could make mattresses that thin. Other than that, a wonderful experience for $56.10 a night.
My wife and I along with another couple did an "end to end" of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Tuggles Gap was a stop for breakfast one morning south bound. The food and service was so awesome and the motel from outside looks "quaint" so the woman decided they wanted to stay here on the way back north. I've never seen... More

My husband and I had stayed here once before and I hated it. He told me they had remodeled and it was much more improved. WRONG!!

Just off the Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 165. Didn't stay at the motel, but the restaurant is wonderful. A real old-timey roadside restaurant with lots of character, good food and excellent and friendly service. Unique in today's "trendy, trying too hard to impress" or fast food joints. We love this place. The best stop on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
As miss thang from Florida above stated, this motel is not nasty nor INFESTED with bugs. My goodness. It is a country motel, VERY reasonably priced. Yes, the rooms are plain and such, but it is a GREAT, CLEAN place to stay for a night. The restaurant has GREAT home-cooked food. You can get wi-fi from the restaurant right next... More

In fact, by my wording, there's a logical incosistency if you use a car. Car moves -> Belt moves other way -> Car's stationary -> ERROR. Which is fine, because it's a plane - not a car. The question phrased as I have it still tends to lead people into the dyno/car comparison and they make the same mistake.
My biggest trouble with your wording is that, although I feel what "at the speed the vehicle would be doing if the belt weren't there" means, I'm not sure it can be precisely defined. I haven't followed it through, but worry it might be open to contradictory legitimate interpretations.
The problem as worded in the original post of this thread is appalling though.
...designed to MATCH the speed of the wheels of an airplane...
Firstly, define "speed of the wheel". Is that "the rate at which the axle of the wheel gets from one place to another", or "the reading on a speedometer connected to the wheel". They are quite different. A wheel not in contact with the ground that has been fired from a cannon will have a high speed BUT as it isn't rotating a speedometer connected to it will display zero.
Conversely a motionless wheel on a moving treadmill isn't going anywhere (so has no speed), but a speedometer connected to it will show a non-zero value.
If "speed of the wheels" in the question DOES mean "how quickly the wheels get from one place to another" then, because they're connected to the plane, it means EXACTLY the same thing my phrasing of the question does.
If instead "speed of the wheels" means "reading shown on a speedometer connected to the wheel" then the question BY DEFINITION (literally) says that the plane cannot move.
ie. A speedometer on a wheel touching a conveyor belt will show the "speed at which the wheel is getting somewhere else" PLUS "the speed at which the belt is moving under the wheel". So if the question defines the belt as one that moves at the speed shown on the wheel's speedometer, the "speed at which the wheel is getting somewhere else" is DEFINED as zero. As the aeroplane's attached to the wheel then its speed is ALSO DEFINED as zero. There's no mechanical process holding the aircraft there, just the phrasing of the question has effectively become: "There is a belt with a motionless aircraft that will always remain motionless on it. Can the aircraft move?" Obviously a trivial question, and so I reject the possibility that the question could mean that.
EDIT: Written as the last four posts were made. Everything since Rey's.
EDIT2: Added philip to start of post.
EDIT3: Added "that will always remain motionless" to last paragraph.
EDIT4: Added EDIT2, EDIT3, & EDIT4 notes.
EDIT5: Changed "the rate at which the axle of the wheel moves" to "the rate at which the axle of the wheel gets from one place to another" and EDIT5 note.

Now a new exhibit at the Tennessee State Library and Archives building chronicles the history surrounding the passage of both amendments. This exhibit, entitled "The Saloon and Anarchy: Prohibition in Tennessee," surveys the brewing and distilling industries in Tennessee prior to Prohibition, chronicles the rise of the Temperance Movement in the state and the impact it had on the passage of the 18th Amendment, examines the effect that the 18th Amendment had on moonshining in the state, and recounts the passage of the 21st Amendment.
Drawing on the wealth of material in the Tennessee State Library and Archives' rich collections, this exhibit features items such as 19th and 20th Century temperance literature (such as the 1902 temperance tract: The Saloon and Anarchy, the Two Worst Things in the World, Versus the United States of America), temperance songs from the Kenneth D. Rose Sheet Music Collection, the 1908 trademark registration by Lem Motlow (Jack Daniel's nephew and business partner) for the phrase "Old No. 7," and various pieces of Prohibition-related legislation from the records of the Tennessee General Assembly.
"The Prohibition era was a very interesting time in our state's history," Secretary of State Tre Hargett said. "This exhibit gives Tennesseans the opportunity to learn more about that era and the thinking and attitudes that led first to the passage of the 18th Amendment — and then later to its repeal."
