Not only is this a huge retail store, but it's also a membership wood-maker club. It's been around…read morefor over a decade and I am only just now discovering it. I came for their Oktoberfest, which had many vendors selling unique woodwork items. I actually needed quality wood glue to repair a wooden dresser I inherited that was my 90 year old mom's childhood dresser in England. I think wood glue should work, and this place had several to choose from. I bought the smallest size as I don't need much. The workers are helpful and friendly. I didn't see if there were rooms in back for people to work or take classes, but judging by the name of this place, I assume so. They also had the cutest resident pug chilling out in the middle of the store. I was going to take a picture, but he moved on.

It was terrific, and I would recommend it anyone.

They do not seem to do any cooking on-site as this is more of a to-go offshoot of the main Sunflower Bakery nearby - which sadly isn't as Metro accessible as this location is (somewhat). Challah options are interesting - including one that looks like is full of sprinkles for kids. There's also honey and wheat challah which is probably what I would go for. Sunflower focuses on employing people with learning disabilities, to get them exposed to the workforce. Prices reasonable. Food is kosher.

Capital Fencing Academy is an amazing place! Great facilities. Outstanding coaching. Strong…read moresense of community. Lots of learning and growth both on and off the fencing strip. Endless fun! My daughter has been fencing with Dariusz Gilman since she participated in his summer camp nearly three years ago. She has become a nationally ranked fencer but, more importantly, she has developed a true love of fencing. She absolutely would spend every waking moment at this fencing club if given the choice, and wouldn't hesitate to say that discovering fencing is the best thing that ever happened to her. Her focus, strategic thinking, confidence, and overall sportsmanship has soared, and I attribute much of this to Capital Fencing Academy's coaching philosophy. Without a doubt, these coaches care a great deal about the well-being and development of each and every fencer. They have a passion for fencing and they have a passion for coaching, and it shows. If your child and/or you are interested in a competitive yet totally fun sabre fencing program -- yes, there are classes & private lessons for kids and adults alike -- Capital Fencing Academy is the place to be. It doesn't get any better than this.

More experienced photographers may disagree, but as a beginner, I found WSP's "Focus on…read moreComposition" course super helpful. The class tried to instill a habit of thinking through a checklist before taking a picture (or evaluating it afterwards). The checklist included, among other things: * What's the subject? * Do the direction and quality of light work for your subject? * Does the background distract from the subject? * Check the frame's edges: Is the cropping awkward? * Is there comfortable spacing between the elements of your photograph? Our class was small, so in addition to the lectures and the pithy, informative handouts, we could spend more time going over our homework, getting concrete suggestions for how to improve. For example, the instructor (Joe Yablonsky) would sometimes suggest moving the camera up, down, right, left, closer, or further, to get a cleaner background, a more flattering portrait angle, or more interesting "directionality" in the photo's lines. Other times, the instructor would notice patterns-- that my ISOs tended to be too high, or that there's dust on someone's sensor, or that the focusing was sometimes off. He'd then ask how we took the shot, and suggest new settings or focusing methods (or suggest cleaning the sensor!). Sometimes he'd ask the class to weigh in on the critique, so we could also benefit from our talented (and opinionated!) classmates. One session was a fun field trip to the National Mall. At the National Gallery of Art sculpture garden,we chased photogenic squirrels and captured tourists' hilarious reactions to Joan Miro's Personnage Gothique, Oiseau-Eclair. (Google it if you don't know it). I watched as one classmate got several amazing portraits of strangers, just by walking up and asking. The instructor also gave me a demonstration of how to get my camera to focus with a neutral density filter. (I had been having trouble with that). The course just ended last week, and I still need a lot of practice. But it's made my photos noticeably better. (One of my homework assignments even got published last week, as the page 2 photo in the Washington Post Express!) The downsides: Classes can be expensive! (Luckily I had a gift certificate). Sometimes you can find coupons or Living Social deals, e.g. here's one that's on right now (as of late March 2014): http://conta.cc/1jNpdud Washington School of Photography can be a pain to get to without a car.
