Northern Virginia's "Golden Zip Codes"

 The Washingtonian magazine published a series in May of 2010 with a chart entitled: "Golden Zip Codes". The chart chronicles the 100 most expensive zip codes in the Washington DC metro area according to the 2009 median sales price. Further, the chart compares the 2009 median sales price to that of 2008 and 2006, the peak year for most of the market area.


Great Falls, Virginia appears at the top of the list of Golden Zip Codes and McLean, 22101 is in second place. After that are 5 zip codes in Chevy Chase Indian post office codes Potomac and Bethesda, followed by Georgetown and Tenleytown/Pallisades, returning to the Virginia side of the river with Fairfax Station and the 22207 part of North Arlington.


Why does Great Falls top the list? In my view it is a function of several fundamentals. First, there are no condominiums or townhouses in Great Falls. In fact there is very little dense development at all. The smallest lot size I could find is a fifth of an acre.


Second, the majority of Great Falls is not served by public water and sewer. This means that each home site must locate and dig a potable well in addition to needing the soil and the space that facilities the installation of an individual septic system. In Great Falls, the Fire Station, the Library and even Great Falls Elementary operate on septic.

SEX IN MARRIAGE & SATANISM

Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and Over the years that I have been talking to women of all classes ranging from the wives of government functionaries to Christian leaders, I have come to realise that infidelity Sexmarkt is no more limited to men but also as common with married women. On several occasions I have met women who share their ordeal with me in terms of sex starvation by their husbands and those who have not been able have sex without pain though their husbands have been cooperative. I have been asked for advice in a forum on an illegitimate child that a married woman had and the husband was under the impression that the child was his. I have heard men of God that are not satisfied with their marital sex life. There are people who have jointly sought medical help but without success but with deliverance ministration, the situation changed. I have observed with pain that many speakers and writers ...

Vietnamese Spring Rolls Recipe (Goi Cuon)

 This Goi Cuon recipe or Traditional Vietnamese Spring Roll recipe took a lot longer than I expected, but I learned a lot during making the rolls. These healthy rolls are full of fresh vegetables and lean meat, so eat up! Made from just rice and water, the neutral banh trang (rice paper) could be easily used in a variety of ways. At one Vietnamese market, I found no less than five brands of banh trang (rice paper) with multi-lingual packaging: Vietnamese, Chinese, English, and French. Banh trang gets around. Cambodians have a similar roll also using the same rice paper called nime chow--made without meat and dipped in a  banh mi thit  vinegar based sauce instead of hoisin. The Chinese have a version with duck and cucumber with a hoisin based dipping sauce. Japanese restaurants are also commonly using regular and dyed versions of rice paper for rolls too. For the meat you can really use any cut of pork you wish, but leaner works better. The shrimp can also be any size but ...
