Arlington County is a county in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is also considered by the Census Bureau to be a Census-designated place, and the second-largest Principle City of the Washington metropolitan area.[1] It is known in the region simply as Arlington or Arlington, Virginia. In 2013, the population was estimated to be 227,146,[2] and would be the fourth-largest city in the state if it were incorporated as such.
The land that became Arlington was originally donated by Virginia to the United States government to form part of the new Federal capital district. On February 27, 1801, a year after moving from the temporary National Capital at Philadelphia occupying the Federal City (also sometimes known then as "Washington City") in the District of Columbia, the United States Congress organized the area as a subdivision of the District named Alexandria County. In 1846, Congress returned the land southwest of the Potomac River donated by Virginia due to issues involving Congressional representation and the abolition of slavery. The General Assembly of Virginia changed the county's name to Arlington in 1920 to avoid confusion with the adjacent City of Alexandria.
The county is situated in Northern Virginia on the south bank of the Potomac River directly across from Washington. Arlington is also bordered by Fairfax County and the City of Falls Church to the northwest, west and southwest, and the City of Alexandria to the southeast. With a land area of 26 square miles (67 km2), Arlington is among the geographically smallest self-governing counties in the United States, and due to state law regarding population density, has no other incorporated towns within its borders.
Due to the county's proximity to Washington, D.C., Arlington is headquarters to many departments and agencies of the federal government of the United States, including the Department of Defense (DOD) at the Pentagon, Drug Enforcement Administration, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). It also home to Washington National Airport. The many Federal agencies, government contractors, and service industries contribute to Arlington's stable economy. It is the highest-income county in the United States by median family income,[3] though it has the highest concentration of singles in the region.[4] Arlington is also the location of national memorials and museums, including Arlington National Cemetery, the Pentagon Memorial, the Marine Corps War Memorial, and the United States Air Force Memorial.

The area that now constitutes Arlington County was originally part of Fairfax County in the Colony of Virginia. Land grants from the British monarch were awarded to prominent Englishmen in exchange for political favors and efforts at development. One of the grantees was Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, who lends his name to both Fairfax County and the City of Fairfax. The name Arlington comes from Henry Bennet, 1st Earl of Arlington whose name had been applied to a plantation along the Potomac River. George Washington Parke Custis, grandson of First Lady Martha Washington, acquired this land in 1802. The estate was eventually passed down to Mary Anna Custis Lee, wife of General Robert E. Lee.[5] The property later became Arlington National Cemetery during the American Civil War, and now lends its name to present-day Arlington County.
The area that now contains Arlington County was ceded to the new United States federal government by the Commonwealth of Virginia. With the passage of the Residence Act in 1790, Congress approved a new permanent capital to be located on the Potomac River, the exact area to be selected by President George Washington. The Residence Act originally only allowed the President to select a location within Maryland as far east as what is now the Anacostia River. However, President Washington shifted the federal territory's borders to the southeast in order to include the pre-existing city of Alexandria at the District's southern tip. In 1791, Congress amended the Residence Act to approve the new site, including the territory ceded by Virginia.[6] However, this amendment to the Residence Act specifically prohibited the "erection of the public buildings otherwise than on the Maryland side of the River Potomac."[7] As permitted by the U.S. Constitution, the initial shape of the federal district was a square, measuring 10 miles (16 km) on each side, totaling 100 square miles (260 km2). During 1791–92, Andrew Ellicott and several assistants placed boundary stones at every mile point. Fourteen of these markers were in Virginia and many of the stones are still standing.[8]
When Congress arrived in the new capital, they passed the Organic Act of 1801 to officially organize the District of Columbia and placed the entire federal territory, including the cities of Washington, Georgetown, and Alexandria, under the exclusive control of Congress. Further, the unincorporated territory within the District was organized into two counties: the County of Washington to the east of the Potomac and the County of Alexandria to the west. It included all of the present Arlington County, plus part of what is now the independent city of Alexandria, Virginia.[9] This Act formally established the borders of the area that would eventually become Arlington but the citizens located in the District were no longer considered residents of Maryland or Virginia, thus ending their representation in Congress.[10]
Residents of Alexandria County had expected the federal capital's location to result in land sales and the growth of commerce. Instead the county found itself struggling to compete with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal at the port of Georgetown, which was farther inland and on the northern side of the Potomac River next to the City of Washington.[11] Members of Congress from other areas of Virginia also used their power to prohibit funding for projects, such as the Alexandria Canal, which would have increased competition with their home districts. In addition, Congress had prohibited the federal government from establishing any offices in Alexandria, which made the county less important to the functioning of the national government.[12]
Alexandria had also been a major market in the American slave trade, and rumors circulated that abolitionists in Congress were attempting to end slavery in the District; such an action would have further depressed Alexandria's slavery-based economy.[13] At the same time, an active abolitionist movement arose in Virginia that created a division on the question of slavery in the Virginia General Assembly. Pro-slavery Virginians recognized that if Alexandria were returned to the Commonwealth, it could provide two new representatives who favored slavery in the state legislature. During the American Civil War, this division led to the formation of the state of West Virginia, which comprised the 55 counties in the northwest that favored abolitionism.[14]
Largely as a result of the economic neglect by Congress, divisions over slavery, and the lack of voting rights for the residents of the District, a movement grew to return Alexandria to Virginia from the District of Columbia. From 1840 to 1846, Alexandrians petitioned Congress and the Virginia legislature to approve this transfer known as retrocession. On February 3, 1846, the Virginia General Assembly agreed to accept the retrocession of Alexandria if Congress approved. Following additional lobbying by Alexandrians, Congress passed legislation on July 9, 1846, to return all the District's territory south of the Potomac River back to the Commonwealth of Virginia, pursuant to a referendum; President James K. Polk signed the legislation the next day. A referendum on retrocession was held on September 1–2, 1846. The residents of the City of Alexandria voted in favor of the retrocession, 734 to 116; however, the residents of Alexandria County voted against retrocession 106 to 29. Despite the objections of those living in Alexandria County, President Polk certified the referendum and issued a proclamation of transfer on September 7, 1846. However, the Virginia legislature did not immediately accept the retrocession offer. Virginia legislators were concerned that the people of Alexandria County had not been properly included in the retrocession proceedings. After months of debate, the Virginia General Assembly voted to formally accept the retrocession legislation on March 13, 1847.[12] In 1852, the Virginia legislature voted to incorporate a portion of Alexandria County to make the City of Alexandria, which until then had been only been considered politically as a town.[15]
Civil War[edit]
During the American Civil War, Virginia seceded from the Union as a result of a statewide referendum held on May 23, 1861; the voters from Alexandria County approved secession by a vote of 958–48. This vote indicates the degree to which its only town, Alexandria, was pro-secession and pro-Confederate. The Union loyalists who lived in rural areas outside the town of Alexandria, rejected secession.[16] Although Virginia was part of the Confederacy, its control did not extend all the way through Northern Virginia. In 1862, the United States Congress passed a law that provided that those districts in which the "insurrection" persisted were to pay their real estate taxes in person.
In 1864, during the war, the federal government confiscated the Abingdon estate, which was located on and near the present Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, when its owner failed to pay the estate's property tax in person because he was serving in the Confederate Army.[17][18] The government then sold the property at auction, whereupon the purchaser leased the property to a third party.[17][18]
After the war ended in 1865, the Abingdon estate's heir, Alexander Hunter, started a legal action to recover the property. James A. Garfield, a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives who had been a Brigadier General in the Union Army during the Civil War and who later became the 20th President of the United States, was an attorney on Hunter's legal team.[17][18] In 1870, the Supreme Court of the United States, in a precedential ruling, found that the government had illegally confiscated the property and ordered that it be returned to Hunter.[17][18]
The property containing the home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's family at and around Arlington House was subjected to an appraisal of $26,810, on which a tax of $92.07 was assessed. However, Lee's wife, Mary Anna Custis Lee, the owner of the property, did not pay this tax in person.[19][20][21] As a result of the 1862 law, the Federal government confiscated the property and made it into a military cemetery.[19]
After the war ended and after the death of his parents, George Washington Custis Lee, the Lees' eldest son, initiated a legal action in an attempt to recover the property.[19] In December 1882, the U.S. Supreme Court found that the federal government had illegally confiscated the property without due process and returned the property to Custis Lee while citing the Court's earlier ruling in the Hunter case.[19][20][21] In 1883, the U.S. Congress purchased the property from Lee for $150,000, whereupon the property became a military reservation and eventually Arlington National Cemetery.[19] Although Arlington House is within the National Cemetery, the National Park Service presently administers the House and its grounds as a memorial to Robert E. Lee.[19]
Confederate incursions from Falls Church, Minor's Hill and Upton's Hill—-then securely in Confederate hands—-occurred as far east as the present-day area of Ballston. On August 17, 1861 an armed force of 600 Confederate soldiers engaged the 23rd New York Infantry near that crossroads, killing one. Another large incursion on August 27 involved between 600 and 800 Confederate soldiers, which clashed with Union soldiers at Ball's Crossroads, Hall's Hill and along the modern-day border between the City of Falls Church and Arlington. A number of soldiers on both sides were killed. However, the territory in present-day Arlington was never successfully captured by Confederate forces.[22]
Separation from Alexandria[edit]
In 1870, the City of Alexandria became legally separated from Alexandria County by an amendment to the Virginia Constitution that made all Virginia incorporated cities (but not incorporated towns) independent of the counties of which they had previously been a part. Because of the confusion between the city and the county having the same name, a movement started to rename Alexandria County. In 1920, the name Arlington County was adopted, after Arlington House, the home of the American Civil War general Robert E. Lee, which stands on the grounds of what is now Arlington National Cemetery. The Town of Potomac was incorporated as a town in Alexandria County in 1908. The town was annexed by the independent city of Alexandria in 1930.
In 1896, an electric trolley line was built from Washington through Ballston, which led to growth in the county.
20th century[edit]
In 1920, the Virginia legislature renamed the area Arlington County to avoid confusion with the City of Alexandria which had become an independent city in 1870 under the new Virginia Constitution adopted after the Civil War.
In the 1930s, Hoover Field was established on the present site of the Pentagon; in that decade, Buckingham, Colonial Village , and other apartment communities also opened. World War II brought a boom to the county, but one that could not be met by new construction due to rationing imposed by the war effort.
In October 1942, not a single rental unit was available in the county.[23] The Henry G. Shirley Highway (now Interstate 395) was constructed during World War II, along with adjacent developments such as Shirlington, Fairlington, and Parkfairfax.
21st century[edit]
On September 11, 2001, five al-Qaeda hijackers deliberately crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into The Pentagon killing 125 Pentagon personnel and all 64 people on board, as part of the September 11 attacks.
In 2009 the construction of Turnberry Tower, the tallest residential building in the Washington metropolitan area, was completed in the Rosslyn neighborhood.[24]
1812 N Moore in Rosslyn, completed in 2014, is the tallest building in the Washington metropolitan area, exceeding the nearby Rosslyn Twin Towers that were constructed three decades before it.
Arlington County is located at 38°52′49″N 77°06′30″W / 38.88028°N 77.10833°WCoordinates: 38°52′49″N 77°06′30″W / 38.88028°N 77.10833°W and is surrounded by Fairfax County and the Falls Church to the southwest, the City of Alexandria to the southeast, and Washington, D.C. to the northeast directly across the Potomac River, which forms the county's northern border. Other landforms also form county borders, particularly Minor's Hill and Upton's Hill on the west.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 26.1 square miles (67.6 km2), of which 26.0 square miles (67.3 km2) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.3 km2) (0.4%) is water.[25] It is the smallest county by area in Virginia and among the smallest by land area in the United States. About 4.6 square miles (11.9 km2) of the county is federal property. The county is roughly in the shape of a rectangle 4 miles (6.4 km) by 6 miles (9.7 km), with the small end slanting in a northwest-southeast direction. All cities within the Commonwealth of Virginia are independent of counties, though towns may be incorporated within counties. However, Arlington has no existing incorporated towns because Virginia law prevents the creation of any new municipality within a county that has a population density greater than 1,000 persons per square mile. Its county seat is the census-designated place (CDP) of Arlington,[26] which is coterminous with the boundaries of the county; however, the county courthouse and most government offices are located in the Courthouse neighborhood.
There are a number of unincorporated neighborhoods within Arlington that are commonly referred to by name as if they were distinct towns. For over 30 years, the government has pursued a development strategy of concentrating much of its new development near transit facilities, such as Metrorail stations and the high-volume bus lines of Columbia Pike.[27] Within the transit areas, the government has a policy of encouraging mixed-use and pedestrian- and transit-oriented development.[28] Some of these "urban village" communities include:
In 2002, Arlington received the EPA's National Award for Smart Growth Achievement for "Overall Excellence in Smart Growth."[29] In 2005, the County implemented an affordable housing ordinance that requires most developers to contribute significant affordable housing resources, either in units or through a cash contribution, in order to obtain the highest allowable amounts of increased building density in new development projects, most of which are planned near Metrorail station areas.[30]
A number of the county's residential neighborhoods and larger garden-style apartment complexes are listed in the National Register of Historic Places and/or designated under the County government's zoning ordinance as local Historic Preservation Districts.[31][32] These include Arlington Village, Arlington Forest, Ashton Heights, Buckingham, Cherrydale, Claremont, Colonial Village, Fairlington, Lyon Park, Lyon Village, Maywood, Penrose, Waverly Hills and Westover.[33][34] Many of Arlington County's neighborhoods participate in the Arlington County government's Neighborhood Conservation Program (NCP).[35] Each of these neighborhoods has a Neighborhood Conservation Plan that describes the neighborhood's characteristics, history and recommendations for capital improvement projects that the County government funds through the NCP.[36]

Arlington County is one of the most Democratic localities in Virginia. It last supported a Republican for president in 1980, and all elected officials in the county are Democrats.[63] However, in April 2014, a Republican running as an independent, John Vihstadt, won a special election for the County Board, defeating the Democrat 57%-41% and becoming the first non-Democrat to be elected to the board since 1999.
In 2009, as the state was voting for Republican Bob McDonnell for governor by a 59% to 41% margin, Arlington voted for Democrat Creigh Deeds 66% to 34%.[64] Voter turnout was 42.78%.[65] Arlington also elects four Members of the 100 Member Virginia House of Delegates and two Members of the Virginia Senate. State Senators are elected to four-year terms, while Delegates are elected to two-year terms. The county is included within Virginia's 8th congressional district, currently represented by Democrat Jim Moran.

Adam Ebbin became the first openly gay Delegate in 2003. In 2006, School Board member Sally Baird became the first openly lesbian elected official in Virginia. (The fourth openly gay elected official is Councilman Paul Smedberg of the City of Alexandria Council.)[citation needed]
The United States Postal Service designates zip codes starting with "222" for exclusive use in Arlington County. As a result of the unique relationship of some institutions to the federal government, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and The Pentagon both use Washington, D.C. as their address and have zip codes that begin with the digits "20" even though each is actually located in Arlington County.
Arlington has consistently had the lowest unemployment rate of any jurisdiction in Virginia.[69] The unemployment rate in Arlington was 4.2% in August 2009.[70] 60% of office space in the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor is leased to government agencies and government contractors.[71] There were an estimated 205,300 jobs in the county in 2008. About 28.7% of these were with the federal, state or local government; 19.1% technical and professional; 28.9% accommodation, food and other services.[72]
In October 2008, BusinessWeek ranked Arlington as the safest city in which to weather a recession, with a 49.4% share of jobs in "strong industries".[73] In October 2009, during the economic downturn, the unemployment in the county reached 4.2%. This was the lowest in the state, which averaged 6.6% for the same time period, and among the lowest in the nation, which averaged 9.5% for the same time.[74]
In 2010, there were an estimated 90,842 residences in the county.[75] In 2000, the median single family home price was $262,400. About 123 homes were worth $1 million or more.

Arlington National Cemetery[edit]
Arlington National Cemetery is an American military cemetery established during the American Civil War on the grounds of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's home, Arlington House (also known as the Custis-Lee Mansion). It is directly across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., north of the Pentagon. With nearly 300,000 graves, Arlington National Cemetery is the second-largest national cemetery in the United States.
Arlington House was named after the Custis family's homestead on Virginia's Eastern Shore. It is associated with the families of Washington, Custis, and Lee. Begun in 1802 and completed in 1817, it was built by George Washington Parke Custis. After his father died, young Custis was raised by his grandmother and her second husband, the first US President George Washington, at Mount Vernon. Custis, a far-sighted agricultural pioneer, painter, playwright, and orator, was interested in perpetuating the memory and principles of George Washington. His house became a "treasury" of Washington heirlooms.
In 1804, Custis married Mary Lee Fitzhugh. Their only child to survive infancy was Mary Anna Randolph Custis, born in 1808. Young Robert E. Lee, whose mother was a cousin of Mrs. Custis, frequently visited Arlington. Two years after graduating from West Point, Lieutenant Lee married Mary Custis at Arlington on June 30, 1831. For 30 years, Arlington House was home to the Lees. They spent much of their married life traveling between U.S. Army duty stations and Arlington, where six of their seven children were born. They shared this home with Mary's parents, the Custis family.
When George Washington Parke Custis died in 1857, he left the Arlington estate to Mrs. Lee for her lifetime and afterward to the Lees' eldest son, George Washington Custis Lee.
The U.S. government confiscated Arlington House and 200 acres (81 ha) of ground immediately from the wife of General Robert E. Lee during the Civil War. The government designated the grounds as a military cemetery on June 15, 1864, by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. In 1882, after many years in the lower courts, the matter of the ownership of Arlington National Cemetery was brought before the United States Supreme Court. The Court decided that the property rightfully belonged to the Lee family. The United States Congress then appropriated the sum of $150,000 for the purchase of the property from the Lee family.
Veterans from all the nation's wars are buried in the cemetery, from the American Revolution through the military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. Pre-Civil War dead were re-interred after 1900.
The Tomb of the Unknowns, also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, stands atop a hill overlooking Washington, DC. President John F. Kennedy is buried in Arlington National Cemetery with his wife and some of their children. His grave is marked with an "Eternal Flame." His brothers, Senators Robert F. Kennedy and Edward M. Kennedy, are also buried nearby. William Howard Taft, who was also a Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, is the only other President buried at Arlington.
Other frequently visited sites near the cemetery are the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, commonly known as the "Iwo Jima Memorial", the U.S. Air Force Memorial, the Women in Military Service for America Memorial, the Netherlands Carillon and the U.S. Army's Fort Myer.
The Pentagon[edit]
The Pentagon in Arlington is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense. It was dedicated on January 15, 1943 and it is the world's largest office building. Although it is located in Arlington, the United States Postal Service requires that "Washington, D.C." be used as the place name in mail addressed to the six ZIP codes assigned to The Pentagon.[80]
The building is pentagon-shaped in plan and houses about 23,000 military and civilian employees and about 3,000 non-defense support personnel. It has five floors and each floor has five ring corridors. The Pentagon's principal law enforcement arm is the United States Pentagon Police, the agency that protects the Pentagon and various other DoD jurisdictions throughout the National Capital Region.
Built during the early years of World War II, it is still thought of as one of the most efficient office buildings in the world. It has 17.5 miles (28 km) of corridors, yet it takes only seven minutes or so to walk between any two points in the building.
It was built from 680,000 short tons (620,000 t) of sand and gravel dredged from the nearby Potomac River that were processed into 435,000 cubic yards (330,000 m³) of concrete and molded into the pentagon shape. Very little steel was used in its design due to the needs of the war effort.
The open-air central plaza in the Pentagon is the world's largest "no-salute, no-cover" area (where U.S. servicemembers need not wear hats nor salute). The snack bar in the center is informally known as the Ground Zero Cafe, a nickname originating during the Cold War when the Pentagon was targeted by Soviet nuclear missiles.
During World War II, the earliest portion of the Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway was built in Arlington in conjunction with the parking and traffic plan for the Pentagon. This early freeway, opened in 1943, and completed to Woodbridge, Virginia in 1952, is now part of Interstate 395.
Arlington forms part of the region's core transportation network. The county is traversed by two interstate highways, Interstate 66 in the northern part of the county and Interstate 395 in the eastern part, both with high-occupancy vehicle lanes or restrictions. In addition, the county is served by the George Washington Memorial Parkway. In total, Arlington County maintains 376 miles (605 km) of roads.[81]
The street names in Arlington generally follow a unified countywide convention. The north-south streets are generally alphabetical, starting with one-syllable names, then two-, three- and four-syllable names. The "lowest" alphabetical street is Ball Street. The "highest" is Arizona. Many east-west streets are numbered. Route 50 divides Arlington County. Streets are generally labeled North above Route 50, and South below.
Arlington is served by the Orange, Blue and Yellow lines of the Washington Metro. Additionally, it is served by Virginia Railway Express commuter rail, Metrobus (regional public bus), Fairfax Connector (regional public bus), Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC) (regional public bus), and a county public bus system, Arlington Transit (ART).
Arlington County is home to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, which provides domestic air services to the Washington, D.C. area. In 2009, Condé Nast Traveler readers voted it the country's best airport.[82] Nearby international airports are Washington Dulles International Airport, located in Fairfax and Loudoun counties in Virginia, and Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
In 2007, the county authorized EnviroCAB, a new taxi company, to operate exclusively with a hybrid-electric fleet of 50 vehicles and also issued permits for existing companies to add 35 hybrid cabs to their fleets. As operations began in 2008, EnvironCab became the first all-hybrid taxicab fleet in the U.S. and the company not only offsets the emissions generated by its fleet of hybrids, but also the equivalent emissions of 100 non-hybrid taxis in service in the metropolitan area.[83][84] The green taxi expansion is part of a county campaign known as Fresh AIRE, or Arlington Initiative to Reduce Emissions, that aims to cut production of greenhouse gases from county buildings and vehicles by 10 percent by 2012.[83]
Arlington has 86 miles (138 km) of on-street and paved off-road bicycle trails.[85] Off-road trails travel along the Potomac River or its tributaries, abandoned railroad beds, or major highways, including: Four Mile Run Trail that travels the length of the county; the Custis Trail, which runs the width of the county from Rosslyn; the Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Trail (W&OD Trail) that travels 45 miles (72 km) from the Shirlington neighborhood out to western Loudoun County; the Mount Vernon Trail that runs for 17 miles (27 km) along the Potomac, continuing through Alexandria to Mount Vernon.
Capital Bikeshare, a bicycle sharing system, began operations in September 2010 with 14 rental locations primarily around Washington Metro stations in throughout the county.[86]
Arlington Public Schools operates the county's public K-12 education system of 22 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 4 public high schools in Arlington County including Wakefield High School, Washington-Lee High School, Yorktown High School and the H-B Woodlawn alternative school. Arlington County spends about half of its local revenues on education. For the FY2013 budget, 83 percent of funding was from local revenues, and 12 percent from the state. Per pupil expenditures are expected to average $18,700, well above its neighbors, Fairfax County ($13,600) and Montgomery County ($14,900).[87]
Arlington has an elected five-person school board whose members are elected to four-year terms. Virginia law does not permit political parties to place school board candidates on the ballot.[88]

Through an agreement with Fairfax County Public Schools approved by the school board in 1999, up to 26 students residing in Arlington per grade level may be enrolled at the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax at a cost to Arlington of approximately $8000 per student. For the first time in 2006, more students (36) were offered admission in the selective high school than allowed by the previously established enrollment cap.[89]
Marymount University is the only university with its main campus located in Arlington. Founded in 1950 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary as Marymount College of Virginia, both its main campus and its Ballston Center are located on North Glebe Road, with a shuttle service connecting the two.
George Mason University operates an Arlington campus in the Virginia Square area between Clarendon and Ballston. The campus houses the George Mason University School of Law, School of Public Policy and other programs.
In June 2011, Virginia Tech opened the Virginia Tech Research Center - Arlington in Ballston, providing a teaching and research base for graduate students in computer research and engineering to interact with organizations and research agencies in the National Capital area.[90]
Other private and technical schools maintain a campus in Arlington, including the Institute for the Psychological Sciences, the John Leland Center for Theological Studies, the University of Management and Technology, The Art Institute of Washington, DeVry University. Strayer University has a campus in Arlington as well as its corporate headquarters.
In addition, Argosy University, Banner College, Everest College, George Washington University, Georgetown University, Northern Virginia Community College, Troy University, the University of New Haven, the University of Oklahoma, and Westwood College all have campuses in Arlington.
The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Arlington County has a humid subtropical climate, abbreviated "Cfa" on climate maps.[91]

Neighborhoods: Meatpacking District, Downtown
REALLY BAD. went there for Sunday brunch mid-July. the place was empty at 2 PM except some 20-year old filling up on alcohol. My eggs Benedict were way overdone, bacon - dry, sauce Hollandaise left much to be desired. Definitely not worth a fraction of what i paid. the arrogant and pushy chubby waitress, plucked from some remote French village, had a nasty attitude and no manners. When she started arguing with my friend over the tip left, i crossed out my tip and put a fat zero. at this point the waitress came over, stuck her fat finger there and screamed "You dont leave ze tip hia?!!" after which she turned her fat ass right in my face and started loudly discussing me with another waitress. Generally this place has too much of "too kool for skool" attitude.
Very Nice Dinner – I visited Beaumarchais for dinner last week and has a wonderful time. The food was nothing less than stellar (be sure to get the Loup De Mer) and the atmosphere was fantastic. For a quieter dinner go before 9 but then late at night it turns into a full out dance party!
Be sure to make a reservation here...if you can get one!
Beats Day & Night's Brunch Parties – After changing its name I was still wondering if Beaumarchais' (before known as Bagatelle) brunch parties were what they used to be. After a less than stellar experience at Day & Night's brunch this memorial day weekend I was rather turned off by the whole brunch party idea but now decided to give it another try given how much fun I've had at Bagatelle in the past. This party was fantastic and blew away anything Day & Night has done at Merkato, Revel, I Tre Merli or East Hampton Point. The door policy is based on reservations rather than who can spend more money at the door (which is Day & Night's door policy). The food was surprisingly good and once 3 PM hit the party was in full swing!
Great choice – I was looking for a place to have a dinner party for my fiancee's birthday before we went to Kiss & Fly. After speaking to Christian in guest services he recommended us to have dinner at Beaumarchais. I have been to Bagatelle once for brunch but didn't get to try to the food. It was an amazing experience since we were looking for something more upbeat. The manager was also nice enough to walk us over to Kiss and fly to make sure that the host took care of us immediately. Thank you!
Highly Recommend – We heard that the brunch at Beaumarchais was rowdy and wild, so my husband and I decided to try out the dinner menu because we love French food prefer a low-key atmosphere.
Dinner was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. We split the Gnocchi appetizer which was decadent and delicious. For my main course I had a big angus steak which was prepared perfectly medium rare. Our server was fun and attentive.
I would definitely visit again. Beaumarchais Brasserie is more than a wild and crazy brunch. It's also a lovely place for a wonderful, romantic dinner.
Could Not be Happier – I went to Beaumarchais to celebrate a friend's 25th birthday because we heard the brunch was unlike anywhere else. That was an understatement.
The morning was filled with drinks, friends, music, and exceptional food. I really could have eaten the Belgium waffles two more times, even though the portion sizes were generous.
We were seated at 1130 and stayed until 2 or 230. I was having so much fun, it felt like 5 minutes. I can't wait to go back!!
LOVE Brunch! – Still one of the best brunch party in the city! Okay, there's Lavo...and Oak Room but the food is amazing which makes a big difference. It's sometimes a pain to get reservations which a downfall. But the music...crowd just reminds me of my summer in the Riveria!!
My 29th Bday – Just had my 29th birthday dinner at Beaumarchais (didn't even know they had a name change until I called!). We had roughly 10 people last week and couldn't be more pleased. The service was exceptional. Our waiter was great in taking care of us. The food was amazing - definitely try the Canard A L'Orange. It's to die for!!
Although the only complain was that we had a 930pm reservation and wasn't sat until 1015pm. But the manager was nice enough to buy us a round of drinks for waiting. Overall I couldn't be more pleased.
Change isn't always bad! – Ok so they changed their name... And their colours (Favouring Man U instead of chelsea now!!!) and enhanced their menu! All great things in my book. JB got me a reso last minute, xoxo (call ahead!!) Try the truffle chicken and the gnocchi. Their new excite cocktail got my gal pals and I totally sloshed (in a good way) and the music (love you dj J.Dumas) helped me dance off 10lbs! The staff was helpful and knew their stuff (Aki told us to do 1 pitcher instead of glasses knowing we'd all love Excite, boy was he right!). Considering how much we danced, we didn't think twice about ordering the sundae! Cheers to a well oiled machine!
NYC's Glamorous Secret – Once you enter Beaumarchais you really can't decide whether you are in a restaurant or a hot New York club. The decor is elegant and clean.The atmosphere is intimate and quite glamorous, and the music sets the scene for a wild night!
If great food is your passion Beaumarchais delivers. Try their juicy Filet Mignon or some beautiful Tuna Tartar that melts in your mouth for something on the lighter side. This is also the ideal spot for a nice brunch or dinner with friends.
Check out Beaumarchais- you wont regret it!

text: Maybe the worst possible thing happened to them so they know how easy it is to happen to a child and they want to protect their kid from that pain. I don't see how other people's decisions as knowledgeable parents should in any way disturb someone who isn't in that family. It isn't as though they are making everyone in the parking lot come into the store with them so it in no way affects the people who choose not to believe that something bad will ever happen to their kid.

Heading into the trials, Reed coach Dale Moss said his team was focused on qualifying for the Northern 4A Championships next Saturday.
"As far as training our kids, we kind of trained them through this because we knew that this meet didn't mean as much as what it's going to mean next week," Moss said. "We had a general idea of who could qualify and who was on the bubble so we had to concentrate on a few of those things. Other than that, it was business as usual for us. We didn't train them any harder or any less. It's still all the same.
"We had certain ideas and goals to be able to get certain individuals through and certain teams through. You always hope that there are some good surprises out of the whole thing and you're able to compete for a region championship. We just told our kids that they had to be good enough to be able to qualify to get in a good lane assignment or in a good flight or good order for their field events. Next week is definitely going to be a lot different as far as how things are going to look."
Spanish Springs took the same approach, concentrating on the basics.
"We just wanted to focus on things that we had been doing right and things that we had been doing wrong so we could fine tune them and make sure that we were very well prepared going into the meet," Spanish Springs coach Winston Mora said. "We didn't really train any differently. We trained a little bit smarter and not as hard, focusing more on techniques so we weren't tired and worn out by the time we got here. I just want to see improvement. I want to see my kids be able to walk off the track knowing they did their best. If that meant that we qualified also, then that was an added bonus."
With the focus on qualifying, Reed did not disappoint as it had plenty of individuals who punched a ticket for the championships.
On the boys side senior Josh Gringas led the way for the Raiders.
Gringas took first place in the 100 meter dash with a time of 10.99, as well as third in the 200m with a time of 22.25. Teammates Spencer Stockton and Will Lyons qualified with a fourth and sixth place finish in the 100m, respectively.
Reed runner Cody Foreman took third in the 800m at 2:03.94, while Austin Sprinkle finished seventh at 2:04.68. John Braun qualified for the 400m in eighth with a time of 53.24.
The boys teams also represented the Blue and Gold well. The Raiders took first in the 4x100m in a time of 42.82, second in the 4x200m at 1:30.24 and eighth in the 4x400m with a time of 3:42.71.
In the field events, Reed had two nice surprises out of Brent Kelly and Brent Klitzke who took sixth and seventh in the shot put. Senior Sam Nichols was fourth in the discus with a throw of 140-feet and 8-inches.
For the Spanish Springs boys, the results were not as strong.
The best showing for the Cougars came with a first place result in the 4x400m relay. Junior Vance Lively also did well for SSHS, tying for first in the high jump at 5-feet 10-inches and seventh in the long jump at 19-feet 10-inches. Levi McDonald took seventh in the high jump at 5-feet 8-inches. Spanish Springs took eighth in the 4x200m also.
Sophomore Shamir Geisinger took sixth in the 200m in a time of 23.03, while Sam Preciado qualified at seventh in the 400m (53.22) and Moises Avalos qualified in the mile at 4:51.69. In the pole vault, Anthony Paccella qualified seventh at 12-feet.
As for the girls, the Lady Raiders kept in stride with their male counterparts, taking a large number of events as well.
Senior Adrianna Newell shined for Reed, taking first in each of her events. Newell finished in times of 12.72 in the 100m, 25.20 in the 200m and 56.56 in the 400m.
Sophomore Gabby Williams took first in a number of her personal events. Williams finished first in the 100m at 14.45, as well as first in the 300m in 44.63. Senior teammate Sierra Hooft also qualified in the same hurdle events, taking sixth in the 100s and fourth in the 300s.
Reed's girls relay teams placed first in the 4x400m and fifth in the 4x100m.
Williams also impressed in the field events, tying for first in the high jump with a jump of 4-feet 10-inches. Nyasha LeSure, who has been absent for the Raiders all season, qualified as well in the high jump, tying Williams, while also taking second in the triple jump at 34-feet 9-inches.
"There were some ups and downs today," Moss said. "Obviously, we had some hiccups here with some people and there were some good surprises too. We got two boys in the finals for shot put that we didn't think were close to qualifying. Our girls 4x200m didn't qualify and we needed them too. Cody Forman was disqualified in the mile for a lane violation for stepping on the line too many times, so that was a huge hit for us. The hiccups are kind of the things that you kind of just sit there and go 'Dang it.'"
Compared to Reed, the Spanish Springs girls had a minimal amount to qualify.
Junior Katie Peters led the way for the Cougars, finishing fourth in the mile in a time of 5:31.40. Sophomore teammate Karmyn Witt also qualified in the event in a time of 5:43.54.
The other qualifiers for SSHS were junior Shannise Mora in the 100m dash (13.25) as well as the 4x100m relay team, which placed eighth at 52.79.
"I'm happy with our results," Mora said. "I think we did good. We improved in a lot of areas. We're a fairly young team for the most part, so I think it definitely shows our team we have more to work toward."
While the showings were impressive for the Raiders, Moss said the results will not necessarily translate into next week.
"It's kind of hard to judge because it's one of those meets that you can't really base things off of times or anything like that because next week could be a completely different thing because the intensity level steps up another notch."
Mora echoed the sentiments.
"Next week is definitely going to be a dog fight in a lot of ways," Mora said. "People qualify here with some who do just enough to qualify and some setting new marks, but next week is a whole new ball game. We're going to see a lot of good times and a lot of good races."

All Items : Americana and Country Primitives : Pre 1960 item #1102145
This is a really cool 1958 vintage 5L, about 5 gallon, heavy duty oil can that has been hand painted by the artist Rieck, with a carnival, or circus scene. It has children, a ticket taker, roller coaster, carousel, balloons, and more. It is painted pink on the inside, and black with the tole painting on the outside. It looks like enamel paint. It is marked with STC ICC-37A 80, J5L, 24-5-58. It is in very good condition, just some normal scratched so the paint, but not really in the circus image...
All Items : Americana and Country Primitives : Pre 1950 item #971031
This is a cool old primitive wood butter paddle with all the great marks of use, one small ding on the edge and no cracks. It measures 8.5 inches long and 4 inches wide. This is the kind of utensil that was used on the farm for working the liquid out of homemade butter. This is a great old piece.
All Items : Pottery and Stoneware : Pre 2000 item #957042
Two matching hand thrown and painted pottery candlesticks by Williamsburg Pottery of Virginia. These have a light gray background and pretty cobalt blue leaf accents and banding around the top. Signed. They are in great condition, no chips and no cracks. They measure 4.5 inches tall. I have no idea of the age they are auction items.

Butler >Horse Supplies >
Tack >Horse & The Hound
610 Pittsburgh Rd, Butler, PA | Directions 1600240.759969 -79.924078
incredible! – I work as a barn aide in a summer camp and needed a helmet, helmet cover, and boots fast. I was driving home from the camp on a sunday and still didnt have my boots or helmet cover, I asked in the local Tractor Supply store (where I bought my helmet) where I might find these items and they recommended the Horse and the Hound. I called the number only to find they were closed on Sundays, but the owner drove to the store and opened it just for me to find what i need. She even stayed on the phone with me giving me directions as i drove. I was so pleased I ended up buying about $100 worth of items.
I highly recommend this store
Great Inventory, Good Prices, Wonderful Coffee! – This is a great tack store! Not only are the essentials you need on the shelves, but the staff is willing to order anything unique. This is a huge store with an upstairs and a coffee/lunch bar if you need a break from shopping.
I've found quite a few good sales and the quality and selection of products is the best in the area.
Nice Gifts but Necessities are EXPENSIVE! – I love window shopping here but they really don't have enough of the necessities every horse owner really needs. And what they do have is EXTREMELY expensive. There is a new tack shop that is local but only online right now. They had they same steel curry that Horse and Hound wanted $17 for at the price of $5.25. Ridiculous markup! Even the same fly spray was several dollars more!
Fun to browse here, but better prices can be found elsewhere.

Slow Cooker Cheesy Party Mix – We've Got You Covered #SundaySupper
For #SundaySupper this week "We've Got You Covered" – in many, many ways. The way I chose to "cover" you is by making something in a covered pot. My favorite covered pot. The crock pot.

The cold from outside crept under the door and choked the room. The blue hue of the Word document was the only light, eerily illuminating a face weathered from years of deadline.
The cursor's unrelenting blink didn't make a sound, but grew louder and louder in his head.
It was deafening. And his time was growing short.
Where to go with this column of prose? Why had all those clever ideas escaped him?
Where was the safe place — where ideas grew like kudzu — when he needed it? His mind was nothing more than a wasteland.
The words had flowed like a magic river before, but now not even a trickle of thought was in his bald head. Well, if you didn't count the other non-important tidbits invading the space like an angry mob with the clichéd pitchforks and torches.
Was "Modern Family" coming on tonight?
I really should clean out my truck sometime in the next year.
And that side mirror really has to be addressed, too. It's only been four years.
His fingers on the keys had made such sweet music before. Now, the tap, tap, tap of a branch on the newsroom window made him pray for those sounds.
He could even swear a tick-tock was coming from the digital clock.
The shriek of the bat-phone startled him. It was some caller wanting to know if Auburn's game would be televised Saturday. How was the writer supposed to know what cable system the caller subscribed to?
Writer's block, the spook of a sports editor.
The end.
Clay Central at Madison Academy: A lot has been made (yes, by us) about Clay Central and the major matchups that have appeared on the schedule. It's not that we were overhyping things (which, yes, we in the media sometimes are guilty of), but we just really thought they were going to be good games.
But much like the University of Alabama, Clay Central turns those games into stinkers pretty quickly.
But this actually be a pretty decent matchup. Two losses, but this bunch is good … Clay Central 42, Madison Academy 35.
Oxford at Spain Park: One of the more intriguing games on the docket, mainly because of the heartbreaking loss Oxford endured. How will the Jackets react? Talent-wise, I think they're better than the Jags. But I thought that about the Pell City game, too. They've got too much pride to end with two losses … Oxford 21, Spain Park 20.
Piedmont at Lincoln: Lincoln's skid seems to have come out of nowhere. And it won't end for at least another week. … Piedmont 47, Lincoln 28.
Saks at Jacksonville: Had a temporary lapse Friday night, asking Clint Smith who was on tap in Week 10 for his Golden Eagles. Oh, yeah, the team he coached and took to the playoffs almost every year. That'll be a big one … Saks 24, Jacksonville 21.
Anniston at Carver-Montgomery: It seems every time I pick Anniston to win, the Bulldogs lose. And when I pick them to lose, they win. Sorry, Bulldogs, that streak will end this week. Carver quarterback Jeremy Johnson can go. … Carver 38, Anniston 14.
Wellborn at Weaver: I would really love to see these two teams go at it completely healthy — there'd be horses on both sides. Weaver, however, is not, nor has it been for weeks now, leaving Wellborn with the most thoroughbreds … Wellborn 42, Weaver 14.
Alexandria at Leeds: While I was impressed seeing the Valley Cubs in person, I don't know that they can pull out a win over Leeds. Don't despair, it'll be a great learning experience for the playoff run you're about to make … Leeds 24, Alexandria 18.
Woodland at Cleburne County: This is a dangerous pick, because I know what I've seen — both teams in person — but I have no idea the level of emotion the Tigers will play with after missing out on the playoffs. … Woodland 21, Cleburne County 20.
Shades Mountain Christian at Jacksonville Christian: There's been a few wins to slip through the Thunder's hands this season. Last week didn't. This week won't either. A winning streak is always a good way to end the season … JCA 35, SMC 10.
Ohatchee at Gaylesville: Speaking of a winning streak, write it down for the Tribe, too. … Ohatchee 24, Gaylesville 10.
Munford at Talladega: The Lions have had a horrible, horrible history with being able to beat Talladega. Even in some of Talladega's lowest years, the Tigers always seem to manage a win over Munford, no matter how good the Lions are. Here's to getting over that hump. … Munford 14, Talladega 13.
Pleasant Valley at Gaston: I had no idea Gaston was as bad as it is — winless, to be specific. Go Raiders. … Pleasant Valley 32, Gaston 17.
White Plains at Collinsville: Collinsville has but one hiccup on its schedule, a loss to Cedar Bluff. I know they're only a 1A team, and the difference in classification makes me want to go a different direction, but my gut's telling me not to. I've been wrong before — as Wildcats fans know from my recent picks. … Collinsville 25, White Plains 21.
For the rest of them …
Beulah 42, Wadley 40; Spring Garden 45, TC Central 14; Ranburne 24, Ashville 14; Cedar Bluff 42, Sand Rock 35; Etowah 38, Glencoe 13; Westbrook Christian 24, Hokes Bluff 21; Handley 25, Dora 21.

Introducing The Fonab Experience
The warmest of welcomes is reflected in everything that we do.
That's the way of things at Fonab.
Think 'central-casting' Scottish Baronial Castle and you'll come up with one of Scotland's most magnificent and mind-blowing places to stay – Fonab Castle. Opened in 2013 at 'no expense-spared' by the Clark family, Fonab has already established itself as the premier hotel in the area. Fonab Castle Hotel is unique, luxurious and, above all, an experience. Little wonder that guests have described their stay at the Castle as faultless with one guest describing her stay as a 'fairy tale' experience.

"The Mayo Center is proud to work with Community Soup Kitchen to help provide necessary food and supplies to those individuals in need," said Allison Larena, president and CEO of MPAC. "We encourage our patrons to help us in this effort to make the holiday season a joyous time for everyone."
Since 1984, the Community Soup Kitchen and Outreach Center has served a hot noon-time meal, 365 days a year, never missing a day. It serves as many as 300 men, women, and children a day—among them are the working poor, elderly, disabled and homeless.
Items requested include hearty meals in a can (preferably flip top), boxes of cold healthy cereals, individually-wrapped packets of nuts or snack mix, grape jelly, small cans of tuna, salad dressing, coffee/tea bags, hot chocolate mix, one-pound bags or boxes of rice, as well as socks, and men's underwear. For a complete list of needs visit the Community Soup Kitchen website.

The Magnetic Fields early in the night, and the LotR soundtrack as I start to wind down.
This concept of wuv confuses and infuriates us.
Sorry, but I can't understand why people would have specific music for something? I listen to what I always done...Trash metal like Metallica/Megadeth and few others, why would something you like not work anywhere?
I do not hate wow. I'm just (was) very passionated about it. There is a difference. Everyone rants about thing's they think changed badly.
Do you like Thrash Metal? Then give a like for the new round off the Big 4 Evile http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JHum58R624
Note to self: Avoid topic's you keep getting infracted on. You know why...!
I can't listen to anything I get too distracted

I really like some of the old school rappers.
Biggie, and big-L mostly but I also like the newer stuff like Mac Miller.
Sometimes I will switch to Bass hunter or maybe even go to some rock
I turned my game sound completely of except DBM. WoW is so extremely loud especially in raids. I use to hear Dubstep or some 80s music while raiding if any. Depends on my mood
"Archive - Bullets" is pretty nice. As I remember, it's from Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack
I listen to DBM warnings and game sounds and vent.
If you are trying to find something to listen to while raiding, two steps from hell has no competition on that.
Trance, lots of good trance.
Howay the lads!
I've recently been listening to a lot of liquid dnb (drum&bass) on Spotify when raiding.
It keeps me focused and is quite easy to listen to.
Lately I've been listening to: http://vip.aersia.net/vip.swf
Tons of game music (mostly oldschool), almost all the music is really good- and sometimes I get hit hard by nostalgia when I hear music from games I played in my childhood.
I like to be serenaded by the sounds of my fellow raiders screaming at me in fits of rage.
same here.
It's varies on the mood a lot, sometimes I just listen to spotify raiding if I don't feel like listening to some specific playlist or so.
Sometimes I listen to hands-up music, sometimes soft rock, sometimes to hard rock or heavy metal. It depends very much on the mood.
Although for pushing dips really hard the music I feel is the best is like power-metal or something like that, and muting vent / TS or whatever
It's only game. Why you heff to be med? - Ilya Bryzgalov
I had a soundtrack mod that let me add music for every region/instance/boss fight in the game among other things like sound effects which I filled up with 95% music tracks from other games (except for a few regions I liked the in-game music for) and 5% music tracks from what I classify as anything that isn't music from a video game.
Pandora: Tool, AC/DC, System of a Down, Mindless Self Indulgence, Jason Mraz, Nirvana
I listen to dubstep on the farm bosses without coordination mechanics, but other than that music is way to distracting to progress with.
Dubstep while raiding? That's totally idiotic. youtube.com/watch?v=ohQoJeR6vAA&list=SP8576C32CA588E8ED The truth is here.
