Washington Metro's Mid-Century Modern and Contemporary Homes
Those interested in mid-century modern or contemporary homes for sale in the Washington DC Metro area should take heart—there are more of these properties than one might expect. In addition to the many standalone examples, aficionados of the style will find entire subdivisions and neighborhoods created through a movement that generally spanned the early 1940s to late 1960s—although some extend that timeline to include the 1930s and 1970s.

Mid-century modern and contemporary architecture (modern and contemporary often used synonymously these days) stemmed from the earlier modern movement and often espoused principles of design that merged architecture itself with its natural surroundings. The pioneering work of modernists such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Philip Johnson and Ludwig Miles Van Der Rohe led directly to those whose main bodies of work would be decades later.
In the DC area, certain architects come up time and again when looking at major mid-century modern accomplishments. Often, these individuals partnered with each other in prolific firms of the day. But Charles Goodman is one whose name is most frequently mentioned due to his broad portfolio of work, including custom-designed houses, commercial buildings and entire avant-garde subdivisions.
Perhaps the most famous of Goodman's projects is Hollin Hills, a suburb of 450 iconic homes with flat roofs, linear designs and expansive walls of glass set into the rolling woodsy terrain of the Hybla Valley portion of Alexandria, south of Old Town. Like the vast majority of modernist communities of this era, Hollin Hills is now a national historic district. The homes are positioned at different angles on ungraded lots, allowing unencumbered views of nature. Residents also enjoy a clubhouse, pool and swim team.
Among Goodman's many other works in the region are the Hammond Hill subdivision of 20 homes in Wheaton, Maryland; the High Point modernist duplexes in Arlington's Virginia Heights, and the Hickory Cluster section of townhomes in Fairfax County's Reston—a "New Town" community developed by Robert Simon beginning in 1964.
Reston is notable for its forward-thinking concepts and mid-century homes, including the Waterview Townhomes near Lake Anne. These were the work of Chloetheil Woodard Smith—another name that comes up often in architectural circles of the day. Smith is widely regarded as the era's most notable female architect and was also a major urban planner.
Smith headed a large architectural firm that at various junctures included such well-known partners as Arthur Keyes, F. Donald Lethbridge and Nicholas Satterlee. One of the firm's largest projects involved the government-sponsored renewal of DC's Southwest quadrant in the 1950s and 1960s. This is an area that has evolved greatly over the District's long history and continues to transition today with the massive current Southwest Waterfront development.
Smith's Capitol Park and Harbour Square developments in the area were large-scale combinations of apartments, condos and townhouses for sale, with contemporary design work such as staggered bays and balconies giving a honeycomb impression.
Goodman was also active in the Southwest transition, contributing the River Park Mutual Homes cooperative in the 1960s. Here, two high-rises were connected by a highly unusual cluster of barrel-roof townhomes. With shiny aluminum trim and lots of windows, the overall space-age look was quite different from Goodman's usual low-slung houses.
While the District itself isn't known for its large-scale mid-century modern subdivisions of single-family homes, there are quite a number of individual examples, including custom-designed houses for Washington's society denizens of the day. Goodman was also responsible for a five-block section of modernist homes in what is now the Takoma Park Historic District at the DC/Maryland border.
Fairfax County is home to a number of mid-century neighborhoods, including Lake Barcroft in the southeastern part of the county not far from Falls Church. The centerpiece is the lake itself with its beaches and boating, with upscale homes for sale all around. And while the community isn't exclusively comprised of modernist and contemporary structures, you'll find a significant number of flat roofs, jutting overhangs, cubist concepts and huge windows complementing the designs.
Wessynton in Fairfax County near Mount Vernon, is a community of 156 homes on 65 acres of land that was once part of the original Washington family land grant. Built in the late 1960s and early 1970s, there are five models that reflect the evolution of contemporary architecture into other norms. Residents enjoy, a community pool, clubhouse, tennis, 20 acres of forest and a boat dock on Little Hunting Creek.
Pine Spring is yet another modernist community in Fairfax County with 121 single-family homes built in 55 acres of land in 1952. The architects were the aforementioned Keyes, Smith, Satterlee & Lethbridge, and the development won numerous awards, as well as write-ups in such publications as Time Magazine and the Saturday Evening Post.
Additionally, Satterlee and Lethbridge created a notable mid-century contemporary subdivision in Falls Church known as Holmes Run Acres ("The Acres" to locals). Built during the early 1950s, there are approximately 350 post-and-beam homes here in both single and bi-level models. The community also boasts three swimming pools, a rec center, nature center, wooded areas and hiking trails.
Maryland's Montgomery County is rife with modern and contemporary homes for sale. Goodman designed Hammond Wood (near the earlier mentioned Hammond Hill neighborhood) between 1949 and 1951, and Rock Creek Woods nearly a decade later. You'll find classic Goodman themes on display in these historic districts, including low roofs, bold angles and large windows placed side-by-side.
One of the largest collections of mid-century homes is Carderock Springs in the Bethesda area, where builder and community planner Edmund Bennett teamed with architect David Condon in the 1960s. There are some 400 structures here in nine original models, blending linear concepts with woodsy surroundings. Bonus points for tennis, swimming and a clubhouse!
Bennett also teamed with Keyes, Condon and Lethbridge on Potomac Overlook—an enclave of 20 luxury modern homes in Bethesda's Glen Echo Heights subdivision. The same team was responsible for a very large project known as New Mark Commons in Rockville. With over 380 single-family homes and townhouses, this ambitious development came at the tail end of the mid-century movement, built during a lengthy two-decade stretch beginning in 1967.
And while Prince George's County in Maryland is better known for recent construction, the Moyaone Reserve in Accokeek is a fascinating mid-century exception. It is comprised of 180 modern and contemporary home, most on very large lots of five acres or more. It all began when Henry and Alice Ferguson bought 130 acres of land adjacent the Piscataway National Park in the 1920s, naming their refuge Hard Bargain Farm. So began a long tradition of weekend and vacation getaways for those seeking respite from the city.
The Fergusons continued their land acquisition until it reached 2,800 acres, selling lots to friends and family. And thus was born a community of fascinating and often very individualistic properties, ranging from cubist treehouses to giant post-and-beams. Ravines, a river, an outdoor amphitheater with summer concerts—these are just a few of the attractions in this unique oasis.
There are other subdivisions and mid-century modern homes for sale in the DC Metro area beyond those that are listed here. Suffice to say that Washington isn't only about row houses and traditional forms of architecture. Call District Partners at Compass to learn more, 202-798-3600.

The Artistry and Influence of Maurice Sendak
Plays & Drama

Elizabeth Kennedy is an educator specializing in early childhood and elementary education who has written about children's literature for over a decade.
Who would have thought that Maurice Sendak would become one of the most influential, and controversial, creators of children's books in the twentieth century?
Maurice Sendak was born on June 10, 1928, in Brooklyn, New York and died on May 8, 2012. He was the youngest of three children, each born five years apart. His Jewish family had immigrated to the United States from Poland before World War I and were to lose many of their relatives to the Holocaust during World War II.
His father was a wonderful storyteller, and Maurice grew up enjoying his father's imaginative tales and gaining a lifelong appreciation for books. Sendak's early years were influenced by his sickliness, his hatred of school, and the war. From an early age, he knew he wanted to be an illustrator.
While still attending high school, he became an illustrator for All-American Comics. Sendak subsequently worked as a window dresser for F.A.O. Schwartz, a well-known toy store in New York City. How did he then get involved in illustrating and writing and illustrating children's books?
Maurice Sendak, Author, and Illustrator of Children's Books
Sendak began to illustrate children's books after meeting Ursula Nordstrom, a children's book editor at Harper and Brothers. The first was The Wonderful Farm by Marcel Ayme, which was published in 1951 when Sendak was 23 years old. By the time he was 34, Sendak had written and illustrated seven books and illustrated 43 others.
A Caldecott Medal and Controversy
With the publication of Where the Wild Things Are in 1963 for which Sendak won the 1964 Caldecott Medal, Maurice Sendak's work earned both acclaim and controversy. Sendak addressed some of the complaints about the scary aspects of his book in his Caldecott Medal acceptance speech, saying:
"Certainly, we want to protect our children from new and painful experiences that are beyond their emotional comprehension and that intensify anxiety; and to a point we can prevent premature exposure to such experiences. That is obvious. But what is just as obvious-and what is too often overlooked is the fact that from their earliest years children live on familiar terms with disrupting emotions, that fear and anxiety are an intrinsic part of their everyday lives, that they continually cope with frustration as best they can. And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming Wild Things."
As he went on to create other popular books and characters, there seemed to be two schools of thought. Some people felt that his stories were too dark and disturbing for children. The majority view was that Sendak, through his work, had pioneered a completely new way of writing and illustrating for, and about, children.
Both Sendak's stories and some of his illustrations were subject to controversy. For example, the nude little boy in Sendak's picture book In the Night Kitchen was one of the reasons the book was 21st among the 100 most frequently challenged books of the 1990s and 24th among the 100 most frequently challenged books of the 2000s.
Maurice Sendak's Impact
In his book, Angels and Wild Things: The Archetypal Poetics of Maurice Sendak, John Cech, Professor of English at the University of Florida and a past president of the Children's Literature Association, wrote:
"Indeed, without Sendak, an enormous void would exist in contemporary American (and, for that matter, international) children's books. One can only try to imagine what the landscape of children's literature would be like without Sendak's fantasies and the characters and places visited in them. These fantasies essentially broke through the relatively unperturbed surfaces of postwar American children's literature, sending his children - Rosie, Max, Mickey, Jennie, Ida - on journeys into regions of the psyche that children's books had not dared visit before."
That these journeys have been embraced by countless other children's authors and their audiences since Sendak's seminal works is apparent when you look at the children's books presently being published.
Maurice Sendak Honored
Starting with the first book he illustrated (The Wonderful Farm by Marcel Ayme) in 1951, Maurice Sendak illustrated or wrote and illustrated more than 90 books. The list of awards presented to him is too long to include in full. Sendak received the 1964 Randolph Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are and the Hans Christian Andersen International Medal in 1970 for his body of children's books. He was the recipient of the American Book Award in 1982 for Outside Over There.
In 1983, Maurice Sendak received the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award for his contributions to children's literature. In 1996, Sendak was honored by the President of the United States with the National Medal of Arts. In 2003, Maurice Sendak and Austrian author Christine Noestlinger shared the first Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award for Literature.

Q: Cannot type in Search textbox of tokenInput Jquery plugin using local data and tokenLimit I am using tokeninput plugin in my application where data is fetched from JSP servlets and rendered on UI. This scenario involves getting a list of service areas like this:
[{"id":1,"name":"Service Area1"},{"id":2,"name":"Service Area2"},{"id":3,"name":"Service Area3"},{"id":4,"name":"Service Area4"},{"id":5,"name":"Service Area5"},{"id":6,"name":"Service Area6"}]

This JSON object is provided in JSP using input hidden tag
<input type="hidden" value="<c:out value="${serviceAreaList}"></c:out>" id = "serviceAreaList" />

where serviceAreaList is an object returned from java server side code.
now i have an input text box of form
<input type="text" name="serviceArea" class="input-field142" maxlength="15" id="choose_lis3" name="serviceArea"/>

the tokeninput is applied as:
var serviceAreaList = $("#serviceAreaList").val();
$( 'input[id=choose_lis3]' ).tokenInput(serviceAreaList, {tokenLimit: 3});

but now when in UI i cannot type in the search textbox field. Am i doing something wrong? i debugged the tokeninput code and the query string is coming as empty "" cos i cannot type anything in the text.

Calling it a "fresh, de-cluttered experience," Bing launched a new design for its search result pages this morning. Based on feedback from user experience experiments that ran over the past few months, Bing changed their look to make the results easier to scan in an effort to help users do more with search.
The new design removes the left sidebar that previously contained related searches, options to refine your search and search history settings. Related searches now have two locations. They appear at the bottom of the results, just above the pagination and any bottom-of-page ads. There is also a separate list of related searches in the right-sidebar. That related list appears beneath ads, if there are any for your query.
Completing the minimalistic design are a top navigation for other Bing search properties like Images and Maps and an icon that resembles a gear is set top-left, along with login information. To add splash of style, albeit a small one, a 5-pixel high fragment of the Bing home page image appears, spanning the top margin.
Speaking of the home page, Bing says they're not yet done making changes. They're testing now for some new ideas for the homepage. Bing says the daily image is popular, so they are considering larger versions of the image.
Bing hopes the cosmetic changes will help people "spend less time searching and more time doing." The changes to the search results page is part of removing distractions for the end-user. These changes also include an under-the hood update that provides "improved relevance" and increases the page-load times.
What do you think? Too white? More or less relevant. Does this change increase the likelihood that you'll use Bing more? Let us know in the comments below?

Q: Use Button Click To Send Image To New Page. WPF C# How do you use a button to send an image within the same page to another page in the application via the button click event?

A: In the method that is called on the button click, I'd use the application properties to store your image. Something like this (you will want to put a data type on your image):
Application.Current.Properties.Add("myImage", System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage myBmp);
Window newWindow = new Window();
newWindow.Show();

Then on the window that opens, grab the image from the app properties like this (note that you'll want to cast your image as they image type you want):
transferredImage = (MYIMAGETYPE)Application.Current.Properties["myImage"];
var brush = new ImageBrush();
            if (image != null)
            {
                brush.ImageSource = image;
                btnCustomerPhoto.Background = brush;
            }

Application.Current.Properties.Clear();

Of course, you don't have to clear the current properties if you don't want to, but I do to ensure I don't have anything sticking around I don't want.
There are other ways to do this but the application properties are easy to use and then get rid of.


I would happily come peel dozens of mandarins outside your house for you all to avoid the oil contamination. But I suspect the fruit inside is dangerous too? I might have to draw the line at hand-to-mouth-feeding you guys. :) I am glad to hear the mint tea worked. It has been not helpful for me with my gerd stuff - and I love it...but I have to limit all tea really.
