If you have to put security doors and windows up you might as well add a little style. Check out the complimentary window bars after the jump. (more…)

I think this is in Mandarin. If I recall from my summers in Shanghai, I think it says something like “be careful – the toes you step on today, may be attached to the ass you kiss tomorrow.” Or something like that.

The shutters definitely look good on this one. The blue is pretty tight, yeah?

Can someone recommend a good place for Elizabeth to get a haircut?
Can anyone recommend a good home inspector?

“This is my favorite place in DC. The national mall – where real Jews argue with fake Jews (guess which is which!) about who the real Jews are, while thousands of other people mill about aimlessly, while second tier celebrities encourage them to Save Darfur! or something like that. Note, however, that the two opposing sides agree to disagree about the core issues of the authenticity of the Jewish faith, and are in the process of placing a simple wager on that evenings baseball match. I believe the gentleman in red liked the Nats, but was taking the over/under. Fun things like that really only happen in DC. Meanwhile, the Onion correctly points out that the Darfuri’s lack of awareness of how aware we are of the situation in Darfur.”

Today’s question is submitted by reader – Reuben. If anyone else has ‘Friday Questions of the Day’ that they’d like to suggest don’t hesitate to email me. So on to the question of the day:
“My friend and I were discussing his theory about dogs and social class-wars and all. He wonders, and again-this is based upon what he -and yours truly-quite frankly-sees as a marked change in the breeds of dog being walked in Brightwood, Petworth to some extent, versus-say, Logan Circle or Dupont, if there is more of an emphasis on dogs as pets (and i guess you have to consider this term metaphorically and literally) in the latter ‘hoods, versus dogs as -what- symbols? expressions of aggression and anger? Obviously, none of this is hard and fast. And like all conversations between friends, it’s, well, too buds shooting the stuff…”
So what do you guys think- do the neighborhoods people live in affect their choice in dog breed? Or do people simply buy dog breeds that they like regardless of neighborhood?

I had heard a lot of good stories about how awesome Big Bear is. And it is pretty damn awesome. If you live right near there you are indeed very lucky. It’s got great big windows and free wireless and nice food choices. I was excited to try the prosciutto and gruyere croissant but unfortunately they had run out. But I did have a very nice cucumber and hummous sandwich. Now, believe me, I wish Petworth had a Big Bear of its own. But in the meantime I think Columbia Heights Coffee is poised to take this mantle. Columbia Heights Coffee has it all as well, except it’s a little too small. So I hope with their upcoming expansion they will offer the same roomy atmosphere as Big Bear. After the jump see a photo of posters for a knitting club and book club held at Big Bear. (more…)

I dig ’em both. Although I also believe strongly in a well equipped and well trained US military. I don’t think they are mutually exclusive…
