Spice Market - Atlanta
Online Reservations
The food at Spice Market is inventive and delicious. The portions are just right for two or three people to share and then move on to the next terrific dish. If one particular dish does not quite strike your fancy, don't worry -- the next one is coming soon, and it will knock your socks off. The only thing that keeps me from giving the atmosphere the highest rating is the design of the semi-circular booth we had; the angle for the outboard seats is all wrong, and you have to sit sidesaddle to be square with the table. Not a big deal, but ask for a conventional table or one of the conventional booths.
Very modern and fancy decor. I brought my parents here, and they liked it, even though the upbeat music was better tailored to a younger crowd. Food was good. My parents' salad was too salty for them, though when they told the waitress that, she apologized and did not charge them for it. (I think that she also offered to get them something else or another salad, but they declined because we were pressed for time.)
This place is one of my girlfriend and my favorites in Atlanta, we particularly like the ginger margaritas, the tuna tartare appetizer, and the chili rubbed short rib dish. The papadum they give you as a snack are really delicious too.
What a find! Spice Market is in the "W" hotel; not to worry, your parking ticket gets validated. We were seated at a very comfortable table surrounded with pillows for extra back support and coziness. My husband and I ordered the tasting menu of 5 courses. It was the perfect way to get a sampling of all of the chefs offering. Some of the samples were served individually and others we shared. I would prefer to have my own sample and pass what I can not finish onto my husband. That way, I do not have to eat fast to keep up with his tempo. Every bite we took was an explosion of tastes that will excite your palate! Each presentation was an art form. There was not one item in our tasting that did not leave you wanting to come back for more.
Inspired menu fell slightly short of expectations, very good food but not great
We selected Spice Market because of the scoutmob deal, but I would definitely go back regardless of having a deal. We had fantastic food and wine, and the best part was the ambiance and excellent service that you can't find at any restaurant in Atlanta. I think I'll plan a group dinner at Spice Market soon!
This was our first trip here and the host recommended that we share a tasting menu and it was FAB! We enjoyed all the flavors we got to sample and for him to suggest we share one was a nice tip as we did purchase an additional appetizer but it was a perfect amount. Highly recommend the blackened shrimp app and the halibut - those were our favorites. Skip the edamame as it is served with butter and is not the same - save it for your sushi dining - the spice market as better app options.
Incredible food, service, and atmosphere. The tasting menu was perfect. We can't wait to return.
The menu had changed since the last time we did and we had questions. James, the manager, happened to stop and did an excellent job explains the menu and making recommendations. We picked a couple of items he suggested and was not disappointed at all. The pepper shrimp appetizer was amazing and could easily be an entre addition. Gerwurtraminer is my favorite wine so when I saw the Passion Friut Sangria I had to try it - fabulous! We were there celebratingy birthday and they top it off with a surprise complimentary dessert. Overall, great experience.
we went for the spring rolls.... they have been taken off the menu very sad about that... they were the best, this side of Saigon
I tried the tasting menu and it was a fabulous way to explore the menu. I would highly recommend it. The service was wonderful. Our server was very attentive and helpful explaining the dishes. Looking forward to my next trip to Atlanta and another great meal.
I've been fortunate dine at the New York location which was an amazing experience. Atlanta was nothing short of exceptional.
This restaurant located inside of the W hotel is a definite go to! The food was fabulous and the drinks were simply divine! You must try their signature drink of ginger margarita; I have never tasted a drink so good! The food was the right mix of American with an Asian twist to it. I had the garlic steam lobster. Although the portion was not large, it was delicious! I have had the salmon before and the portion was more generous and quite tasty too! The service was impeccable! The hostess and waitress were fantastic and went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and special! An added plus is that it is across the street from the 14th street theater. You get 3 hrs of parking free, and after that, it is a flat fee of $6.
We wanted to try a bit of everything, so we did several appetizers. The mushroom egg roll, chicken samoa and rice noodle was relish! Our favorite was the shrimp appetizer! Restaurant was intimate and swanky. Fun date night with my husband.
The service was excellent and the food was outstanding! The flavors of the sauces complimented the simplicity of the dishes and resulted in a feast for your taste buds. I'm not a fan of Asian food, but this has changed my mind. We have never been here before, but we will definitely come back. It was a wonderful evening.
I continuously come back for the ginger margaritas! This time though, the glass seemed to be quite smaller. The food was good but not as great as u have experienced in the past. The cabbage was very soggy and the food tasted sort of bland without help. Our waiter was stellar, but his busboy was quite the sad sack.
The food was presented with flair and panache by our excellent server. One of the best coconut chicken soups I have ever had. Try it its excellent. The snapper was also outstanding. This is a great place for downtown dining.
This is one of our favorite Asian restaurants in Atlanta. The food is fresh and inventive, the room is very appealing, there is always something for everyone in the family, and the service always is good. I will say it is a little pricey, but that's what you get for going to a W. I'm told you get a discount if you're in the Starwood Preferred program, but I always forget my card. Still, a really enjoyable place.

It seems the term ãTall Shipã must have come from John Masefieldãs poem, Sea Fever. My sea-faring Dad quoted that poem to me a hundred times, but he never sailed in a Tall Ship. Still, as a seafarer, he too felt the romance that whistled with the wind in the rigging.
ãI must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky / And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by / And the wheelãs kick and the windãs song and the white sailãs shaking / And a grey mist on the seaãs face, and a grey dawn breaking.ã
We crossed the brow of the U.S. Coast Guard Barque Eagle. She was tied up on the pier, in Baltimore ãs Inner Harbor last month. My wife, a retired Navy captain, and her cousin, a nuclear submarine officer of 30 years, accompanied me as we toured this 1936 vessel. I was surprised to see a photo of a buoyant Harry Truman, his hat back on his head like a cowboyãs, as he manned the helm of this captured German sail training ship in 1946. He had the year before announced V-E Day in Europe, his own 61st birthday. For nautical FDR to be shown steering a sailing vessel would not have been a surprise. But for mule-driving Harry, the Missouri National Guard artillery captain of World War I, it was unexpected.
The last time I visited the Eagle, she was all torn apart in the Coast Guard Yard at Curtis Bay, Maryland. Several years ago, Capt. Phil Sullivan took me through the ship as she was undergoing a major overhaul. I saw the boilerplate in the engine room (yes, great sailing ships still have engines). It indicated the vessel was really a Wessel. Her original name was Horst Wessel. That was the name of a Nazi thug and brawler who was killed in a street fight. The Naziãs anthem was ãThe Horst Wessel Songã and if youãve seen Cabaret or any one of hundreds of programs on the Hitler Channel, youãve heard it.

Down East 2013 ©
It's become an annual ritual for the editors of various dictionaries to select a word of the year: a neologism that sums up the mood of the day. For example, subprime was the American Dialect Society's pick for 2007, and who can contest the choice? Speaking for the state of Maine, I'd nominate the term staycation for 2008. The word is a cutesy pun on vacation and is generally defined as "a vacation spent close to home." To put it into a sentence: "Many people in the Northeast will be taking staycations this month."
One word you'll rarely find in Down East is Vacationland. We have something of an institutional revulsion to the slogan, which suggests Maine is a fantasy place where no one actually labors to earn a living. Since we actually work quite hard, thank you very much, we're disinclined to use the term (which first appeared on our license plate back in 1936 and thus has a historical pedigree we cannot deny). But, of course, we're not fools: Maine is a state where millions of people vacation and have for well over a century. Glance at our advertising and you'll see that we are somewhat invested in the concept of drivers traveling about Maine to enjoy our excellent inns, shops, galleries, and restaurants.
With gasoline hovering around four dollars a gallon, there's considerable debate in Maine over how much actual driving will be going on this August. That's one reason you have the Maine Office of Tourism promoting the concept of Maine staycations to New Englanders: "We're nearby, we're friendly, we're beautiful — why not save a little cash and enjoy your summer in Maine?" So far, the evidence is mixed whether vacationers are buying into that message. I tend to believe that high gas prices and expensive airline tickets will redound to Maine's benefit. Say what you will, our state is a lot closer to Manhattan than is Rome or Honolulu. Ideally, I'd love to see a return to the storied days when railroads and steamships brought millions of rusticators to the Pine Tree State. If gas prices continue to rise, that glorious past might well become our inevitable future.
If you're a visitor to Maine — or a resident Mainer just recreating in your own backyard — I would like to commend you on your choice to spend August here; your decision was both economical and well considered. If you have doubts now, you won't by the time you finish paging through this diverse issue, which both celebrates Maine at its best and recalls some Mainers at their very worst. Vacationland is a pretty interesting place. You'll be glad you stayed.

16 January 2011
One to remember Shane Watson by
It reminded me alot of his innings against England in the 2009 ICC Champions Trophy semi-final. It's also not the first time he has called it a night with a massive heave for six to end the match.
England batted excellently with more than one key player moving on. Strass, Pietersen and Davies dug deep and executed their batting skills well to drive England to a mighty good score. 294 was tough, but if there's one thing I always try to embrace is that you never give in till it's all over.
The run-chase was incredible and new records stand for the MCG. The biggest run chase at the MCG in ODI cricket. Mission complete.
Our bowling is still the one major aspect that needs analysis ahead of the World Cup. With Ryan Harris out of the picture (aweful given he's been our best limited overs bowler) as well as Clint McKay it will be hard work for the bowlers.
Two of the initial prelim line-up are out and now the current crop have their backs against the wall.
Brett Lee still needs to keep an eye out on his no-ball issue (can't really change it after over a decade of it) but he was looking good. Excited to see what he can produce for the next 6 matches.
But this nonsense about referring no-balls is becoming a bit frustrating. Why can't the Umpires call it during live time as they are supposed to do? The pricinple is don't bowl no balls, but this has happened to often. All I'm saying is why can't the Umpires see it as it happens? Are they going to refer every wicket taken by an Aussie seamer? Atleast it promotes 'fair play'.
Doug Bollinger is still going for too many runs. Even when he was on a mad wicket spree he was still leaking too many runs. I still think he's a front line choice for us as he's as good as anyone in the current cricket scene on his day. He was selected with Shaun Tait pulling up with a sore back. In my opinion, if Taito can't handle the workload or doesn't get enough games in this series, he shouldn't be apart of the World Cup side. I still see him as valuable.
Xavier Doherty is being tested as I am sure Nathan Hauritz will play in the World Cup. He deserves to play a few more games as his Ford Ranger cup performances for Tasmania have earned him his call up. Give him a few more chances as he could be a menace in India.
It was good to see Steve Smith get two wickets and produce economical figures.
Mitch is still all over the show and I don't think he should be an automatic inclusion into our limited overs starting XI. Like Doug he is deadly on his day, but is mighty costly is Mitch. Come the World Cup we need it to be tight and granted that Mitch, Douggie and Taito are all wicket takers aka Spearhead bowlers, they are also mighty costly. This is where 2007 was good with Glenn McGrath, Nathan Bracken and Shane Watson to do bowling duties with Clarke and Brad Hogg to do spin duties. Taito was there to be a spearhead. If he leaked runs it was okay cause the other guys were tight...this is where the loss of Harris and McKay is a worry!
A quick note on the fielding. Brad Haddin had a bad day at the office, but I have been hearing alot of rumours of Tim Paine being promoted Keeper sooner than later while there's the chance of Hads' batting skills being utilised. Think it's jumping the gun if it is true as Tim is getting invaluable experience in comparison to what Hads gained as Gilly's understudy, but Hads did have a poor game with the gloves.
Cameron White's catch to dismiss Morgan was bloody marvellous. Damn I hope Bear can represent us in all forms of the game.
And I must also add, Mitchell's soccer skills are valuable out there. He's had a few of these soccer moments to run a batsman out.
Now, the highlight of the game. Shane Watson's innings.
SR Watson: 161* runs, 206 minutes at the crease, 150 balls faced, 12 fours, 4 sixes, Strike rate of 107.33. Do we ask for more? Outstanding batting Watto!
Watto may have a problem converting his starts in test cricket too the big figure mark, but the fact is simple and that is he puts in a performance nearly every series he plays. His batting has become unreal and he truely is the cement to our batting. His game is simple as well which probably helps a hell of alot.
Steve Waugh discovered this golden key as he did it by eliminating risk from his game and simply waited for the loose deliveries and maintained his composure by simply understanding his game in the sense that he knew what shots he could produce.
Watto is similar. Elegant cover drives, powerful cross bat shots, late cut shots and generally playing anything with a bit of width and wide of off stump a touch late and of course he eagerly anticipates anything he can swat away. This is also confidence and a guy who knows what his exact strengths are.
If you could get a video footage package of all his sixes since his ultimate return in 2008, you'd probably find 80% of them are massive lofted drives to cow corner or to the long on boundary. He knows his game and hopefully it will continue because we need Watto on song at the World Cup.
It's a great thought when I look back at his middle order efforts in the 2007 World Cup as a middle order batsmen, where he wasn't dismissed once. The slog sweep hasn't changed much since then.
How he's matured as a player and how confident has he become. It's a career I've been pleased to have followed.
To quote Slats, it was "a Champion innings". His century came off 110 deliveries.
As soon as he got to the landmark he blasted a straight drive over top and then produced a brutal pull shot into the crowd. It wasn't long after the strike-rate went over 100.00 as he got down on the back leg and produced the slog sweep for another six! He tried it again and nearly went out but Watto had some luck. Luck is something our side has been lacking for sometime. Was this maybe a change in fortune?
It's not every series we get to witness a big ODI hundred from a player so I'm making the most of it. I just think back to Haydos before his 2007 World Cup campaign. Not drawing comparisons, but drawing on positive memories looking ahead.
Seeing him end the game in the manner he did was a special moment to witness and it gave Watto, our team and all of us as supporters, something to smile about.
Brad Haddin, Michael Hussey and Cam White all provided crucial support as Watto muscled us to victory. They didn't put too much pressure on him, they rotated the strike and showed determination out there. Momentum didn't die and it allowed Watto to streamline his naturally aggressive limited overs characteristics with his batting at the top of the order.
I like Hads as an opening batsman as well as Huss still going about his limited overs business in a stealth like manner.
Michael Clarke was painful to watch. Sorry to write about a negative but it really was. He couldn't find the boundary and while you could say he offered support to Watto, I am sure I wasn't the only who noticed Watto ended up picking up quite a bit of flack and additional pressure with Pup's slow tempo.
I also heard the crowd on more than one occassion applaud Pup when he got off-strike. Whether they were English or Aussie supporters, I'm not sure. I still want Pup's limited overs game to come right.
So that's one win in the bag and six games remain.
The Ashes are done. The NSP still needs to be investigated and hopefully Hilditch will go, but we have to move on and stay focused on what's important now.
Winning this series and fine-tuning the players who will represent the Green & Gold at the World Cup, where we defend out title...again.
Support the boys and hopefully it won't just be the Shane Watson show.
A victory roar! If you saw the way Watto composed himself during his epic innings from ball 1 to the final ball which he dispatched for six, you had to sense his delight when the job was done. A brilliant innings from one of our best players.

Even a pom has to acknowledge the brilliance of that knock. He turned us into a shambles in the field. I've written a short ode to the peroxide pummeller here if anyone wants a glumly respectful English perspective on today's game...

One of the best knocks you will see, I hope this kicks him into gear as this is what he should be producing in the test more often.
Clarke was struggling but did his job by setting the platform for the others to launch from. Still has a lot of improvement and hopefully he will continue to do that through here and then be at his peak for the WC.
After seeing Hussey, Ferguson really is a must for the WC squad. If he goes down then we lose our finisher and guy capable of scoring at a run a ball, for mine Ferguson is the closest we have. - January 16, 2011

My son has had this item for over a year. We got it for him from CA - before it was sold in the US. It keeps him busy for hours. He takes it apart and is much easier than the diecast trains set. He loves the magnets, much easier for him to put together. I'm thrilled that they came out with more wooden railways and a train table. That will be a great gift from Santa this year. And he has many other trains that are not Chuggington that DO work with this system. All the Wooden Disney Cars as well. Spend the money and buy the wooden railway instead of the others.

My 2 1/2 year old became really interested in trains when visiting the train section of Toys R Us and playing with the display. We ended up getting this train set for now as Christmas is right around the corner. And while her likes it and plays with it and it makes him happy the trains derail everytime they go down the hump to make a turn. There is really no way to stop this as the kiddio can not hold onto the train through the tunnel at the top. The tunnel is removable but the kiddio wants it to look like the picture. So with additional trans and stuff this could be a very nice addition to the set. As a stand alone train set it is somewhat lack luster. All of the pieces do fit together well though, unlike in other train set reviews where that seems to be a big problem.

It's a good set and comes with enough track to make for interesting play. The two trains you get with it are very detailed. The only problem is they struggle to stay on the track, especially when rolling down the hill.

Maybe it's a stereotype, but Jewish people have always been considered smart. Not just by others but by themselves, too. We pride ourselves on making education a priority for our children. We encourage them to study, to go for the extra credit, and we imbue them with the value of education that they will pass on to their own children. But there's a type of education that we - and many other Americans - have been ignoring, that may have a direct impact on brain power: physical education. According to new research by neuroscientists and educators, physical exercise "may boost brain function, improve mood, and otherwise increase learning," writes Dolores King for the Boston Globe.

The inaugural WKML 95.7 Stars & Guitars concert is coming to the Crown Theatre on Wednesday, Nov. 7, featuring performances by country music artists Rodney Atkins, Randy Houser, Jana Kramer and Craig Campbell.
The concert will feature an innovative format, with all performers simultaneously sharing the stage. They'll take turns performing their hits and telling the stories behind what inspired those songs.
It's going to be quite the lineup, too.
Atkins has put out six No. 1 hits on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart since 2006, including "Take a Back Road," "It's America," "Cleaning This Gun (Come on in Boy)," "These Are My People," "Watching You" and "If You're Going Through Hell."
Kramer, perhaps best known for her role as Alex Dupre on the CW's "One Tree Hill," had a No. 3 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart this summer with "Why Ya Wanna."
Houser has had three Top 20 tunes since 2008, including "Anything Goes," "Boots On" and "How Country Feels." House also made a name for himself by writing a hit for Trace Adkins, "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk."
I talked with Campbell, who has found success with songs such as "Family Man," "Fish" and "When I Get It." The singer-songwriter said he's looking forward to the concert.
"There are two kinds of shows," said Campbell. "Those with the full band just rocking out, and those that are more sit down and listen kind of shows. I love 'em both, but with this show, I want people to hear what we have to say."
Campbell said the show is going to offer country music fans a good mix of styles.
"I don't get to play shows with these guys often, so we'll have a good time," said Campbell. "It's going to be a nice collection of different country sounds."
Campbell said he'll play some songs off his latest project, including his newest single, "Out of My Head."
"I like these up-close-and-personal kind of shows," said Campbell. "We get to play some new stuff, some old stuff, and talk about what's behind those songs."
The concert is at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20. The concert supports Operation Toy Drop, which collects toys for needy Fort Bragg and Fayetteville families. For more information, call 486-2062.

By Rodger Mullen Staff writer
Shorey Walker is looking for a few good dogs.
Friendly dogs that wouldn't mind being picked up and carried. Relaxed dogs that would feel comfortable in a theater full of strangers.
Walker is directing Cape Fear Regional Theatre's production of "Legally Blonde," a musical scheduled to be presented Jan. 24 to Feb. 10. The play stars Hailey Elizabeth Best, who was Miss North Carolina 2011.
Auditions for dogs to be featured in the play are Saturday, Dec. 8 from 10 a.m. to noon at the theater. Dog owners should schedule an audition with the theater.
The play is based on the 2001 movie starring Reese Witherspoon. Witherspoon played Elle Woods, a sorority girl who earns a law degree from Harvard. In the movie and the play, Elle is often seen in the company of her pet Chihuahua, Bruiser. Another dog, a scruffy mutt named Rufus, also figures in the story.
Walker said she is looking for more than one dog to play each of the canine roles. One must be a Chihuahua, but the other is of indeterminate breed. A dog that can be picked up and held is preferred.
"My first priority is that this is a dog that is OK with being in someone else's arms," Walker said. "It's got to be a dog that loves strangers and loves blond, beautiful women."
Best, along with other actors in the play, will be at the audition to see if the dogs are comfortable with them. Walker said she also wants to see how the dogs react to being in the midst of a lot of activity.
"The dog is on stage when people are singing and dancing, so loud noise is an issue," Walker said. "I want to make sure the dog is not going to freak out."
The owners and their dogs will need to be available for rehearsals and performances from Jan. 19 to Feb. 10.
In addition to the auditions Saturday, the Fayetteville Animal Protection Society will host a "Pick Your Pooch" "speed dating" event in the parking lot behind the theater to match prospective owners with shelter dogs ready to be adopted.
FAPS will hold a "kissing booth" for the pets to raise donations.
Auditions for 'Legally Blonde' are Saturday, Dec. 8 from 10 a.m. to noon at Cape Fear Regional Theatre, 1209 Hay St. To schedule an audition for your pooch, email Nicki Hart at firstname.lastname@example.com or call the theater at 323-4234.

Koldfront Ultra Compact Portable Ice Maker with 10 Ice Bags - White
When you use the Koldfront Ultra Compact Portable Ice Maker with 10 Ice Bags (KIM202WBAGS), you'll never need to use ice trays again! Plug the ice maker into a standard 110V outlet, fill the reservoir with standard tap or bottled water and have ice cubes in less than ten (10) minutes. As a portable ice maker, this lightweight machine can work in your kitchen, bar, office, or anywhere you know you'll need cold ice fast. Since it doesn't require a water line or drain, you can use it anywhere there isn't a standard water supply available - like when you're camping, tailgating, or at a picnic.
Able to produce up to 26 lbs of ice per day, you can select from two (2) different sizes of ice to adhere to you and your family's or guest's preferences. The built-in insulated storage bin can store up to 1.5 lbs of ice at a time, and any ice that melts inside the bin will be drained into the reservoir and filtered back into the ice maker to produce more ice. This saves water by re-using it, which also saves you the time and hassle of having to refill the machine with water every few hours. Perfect for outdoor use and kitchen countertops, this portable ice maker will give you great tasting, cold ice every time.
This ice maker comes with 10 8-lb. plastic ice bags for convenient collection, transport, and storage from the ice maker to your freezer or cooler.

Vast potential
The global insurance market is remarkably strong, despite continued fallout from the financial crisis. Low interest rates coupled with relatively poor investment returns have impeded growth, but demand for insurance products and services remains high.
We keep you prepared by providing insights into the nuances of your market, as well as global trends putting pressure on the industry.
Stay nimble amid risk and regulation
Waves of global legislation continue to pressure management and absorb precious resources. Combined with the need to innovate in a highly competitive environment, this is causing some insurers to withdraw from long-standing core markets and product lines.
However, insurers are adapting by leveraging technology and developing operating models that are compliant with Solvency II. New business architectures will enable insurers to release better products more quickly and cheaply.
Gain market insight
The balance of power is shifting toward the customer, and distribution models are rapidly evolving. Emerging markets in Latin America, Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe are future battlegrounds that offer big prizes – but only if insurers can get it right.
Success will be achieved with patience, long-term investment and genuine understanding of local dynamics.

Montgomery County will need to shift its focus toward housing and job training to allow for its growing economy, an economist told the Montgomery County Council on Tuesday.
The county economy, now at $69.5 billion, is forecasted to grow by $26.5 billion
over the next 10 years, said Stephen Fuller, director of the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University, on Tuesday.
"His emphasis on housing and a trained work force really caught everyone's
attention," Councilwoman Nancy Floreen (D-at large) of Garrett Park said after Fuller's presentation. "In terms of infrastructure, we have been focusing on transportation to support economic growth and he downplayed that."
Thus far, that focus on transportation may not be working. Suburban Maryland has hasn't shown much growth in terms of the regional economy over the past 40 years.
While Northern Virginia has grown to account for 46 percent of the gross regional
product (up from 25 percent in 1970), Maryland has remained steady at just more than 30 percent. Fairfax County has seen an economic growth of 132.5 percent, while Montgomery County has grown only 87.3 percent between 1990 and 2010.
Jobs are expected to grow 19.6 percent over the decade, but the population is
likely to grow 11.2 percent, Fuller said. The county will not have a labor force large enough to accommodate the growth without changes. Jobs follow the people, Fuller observed, an idea that's contrary to the more common outlook of people following the jobs.
Residents will need to be educated and prepared for the coming jobs, he said, which will likely be in government and in education and health.
Fuller said research showed an "encore generation" where older resident re-enter
the work force after retirement, which may help the county to fill vacant jobs.
These workers will need a place to live. Fuller said the county will need twice as
many multifamily houses as single-family homes—at the least—and that families with an income of less than $50,000 will need 42 percent of those homes.
"I think the most difficult part for us has always been, and will continue to be,
insuring that there is adequate housing that is affordable to our work force," Floreen said. "It is difficult to find rents and home prices that are affordable in a community so close to our nation's capital. We've always said that we were for affordable housing but saying that and doing it is another thing."
Branding is also key to success, Fuller said. Just as advertising executives use the aerodynamic qualities of a golf club to justify its price, Fuller suggested that the county better advertise returns on taxes such as quality of living and education.
"We're a county of a million residents, and the reason why is that this is a great place to live and work," said Councilmember Craig Rice (D-District 2) of Germantown. "We need to be true to ourselves, know what our strong points are, build off the successes that we've been able to garner up to this point."
Fuller: County Needs to Think Housing, Not Transportation
Montgomery County will need to make significant changes in its attitude towards development if it wants to see continued economic success, economist says.

How incredibly ironic to read this article on Patch just a few days after Rockville voters re-elected people who continue to hysterically portray development of affordable housing as a threat to the safety and well-being of the city.
November 11, 2011 at 07:24 AM
Stupid liberals still can't figure out excessive taxation and regulation combined with increasingly gridlocked traffic has doomed Maryland and Montgomery County. The best things Maryland and Montgomery County can do is shrink government spending, cut taxes and regulation, and build more limited access grade separated roads. These things all promote freedom and reduce tyranny.
November 13, 2011 at 12:08 PM
Montgomery County is the greatest gift Northern Virginia could ask for.
November 14, 2011 at 03:47 PM
"build more limited access grade separated roads"... This is definitely, not what people want to see. This is the opposite of what we call smart growth. The County needs to concentrate on building high density urban developments around transportation centers. It is like building many small sustainable downtowns that have hosuing, commercial, and office space mixed.
Temperance Blalock
November 14, 2011 at 06:34 PM
More Tea Party blather. What does "limited access grade separated roads" mean? Does that mean building an entirely parallel toll road system? Gee, that would *really* work in a place that already has severely limited space.

4 reviewsLove Label Peplum Leather Jacket
This season, we're smitten with sumptuous leathers for a luxurious biker inspired style. This peplum leather jacket by Love Label gives you a gorgeous feminine shape and we love the zips for extra detail.
This ladies leather jacket features a gunmetal zip fastening to the front. The raised sleeves give you a modern silhouette while the zips to the front and waist toughen the look. This leather jacket is a striking piece that makes for a chic final layer this season.
Wear this peplum leather jacket with a fitted skirt and your tallest heels. Pair with ultra skinny trousers and tall stilettoes.
Useful info:
- Peplum leather jacket by Love Label
- Zip fastening detail to the front and waist
- Raised sleeves; lined to the inside
Colour: Black. Shell: Real Leather. Body Lining: Cotton. Sleeve Lining: Polyester. Dry clean only.

Scorpion EXO-1000, EXO-500, and EXO-1100 Helmet Sun Shield Reviews :
Comment: Slightly darker than the stock one that comes with the helmet but not by too much. Works and was easy to fit.
Asheville, NC
Comment: Just a little darker than the one that came with the helmet, but that's what I wanted. Combined with the mirrored visor glare is gone and I am light sensitive.
Comment: I go the darker shaded shield because the light shaded was not enough, even for Oregon weather. Used it on a 3715mi trip to SD and back. Worked very well. The only thing is that it was sort of difficult to install. I took my time and it probably took me a good 15min to find the right position to push it into so I wouldn't break my helmet. But once installed it worked awesome.

There are plenty of traditional, nontraditional, and interdisciplinary fields of engineering that might just match up with your interests, whether they involve design, architecture, law, business, geography, psychology, or education. As an acoustical engineer, you might develop a state-of-the-art sound studio, or as a sports engineer you might create equipment that tests the performance of athletes. You might also work in "human factors engineering," a fascinating field that takes human behavior and psychology into account in developing products and systems.
The average annual salary for engineers in special and interdisciplinary fields varies significantly depending on the specialty, but for entry-level engineers it ranges around $53,000 to $67,000.*

The Rolling Stones have reportedly inked a deal with AEG Live to produce an arena tour this May and June that will feature 18 concerts.
Industry publication Pollstar reports that their sources tell them that the deal has been made and an official announcement is expected in April.
Many expected that if the Stones were to launch a tour that it would be produced by Virgin Live who were responsible for the band's 50th anniversary run last fall. Pollstar reports that the band is not interested in performing more than 18 shows or for touring for longer than two months.
The plan is reportedly for the band to play in major markets and they will stage multiple nights in some markets, but at this point the details are still being "locked down."
