“Man of Steel” has arrived, and trust me on this, he is one of the good guys.
We didn’t need another Superman. We have the comic books and I was raised on the 50’s TV show starring George Reeves. There were more TV shows and two separate movie re-boots. So it’s impossible to approach this movie without pre-conceived notions. I decided to just sit back and watch director Zack Snyder’s (Watchmen) version in the spirit of truth, justice and the American way.

MANASSAS, Va. — The lawn at the Manassas Museum filled quickly Sunday with people eager to taste samples from 20 different wineries, and to hear live jazz from musical groups like Kitty and the Fat Cats and Marcus Johnson.
Mom on the Run
I have moved the postcard probably 100 times. It normally lies on the kitchen table, but because we’ve had company over recently – high school graduation brings out friends and family – it’s been moved around to make room for visitors and food. I’ve brought it back to the kitchen table, though, front and center, because it’s important, and has a deadline, and I didn’t want to find it too late.

NORTH STAFFORD, Va. — Seniors at North Stafford High School walked across the stage to receive their diplomas on Saturday.
Opinion
When I heard about Virginia Transportation Secretary Sean T. Connaughton’s uttering those words, I couldn’t believe it. When I heard it from multiple sources, I was shocked. I lost faith in Transportation Planning in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
After a long, somewhat chilly spring it’s finally summer. But not just summer – it’s the start of Beach Week. And if you’re reading this, then you are probably stuck in weekend getaway traffic and so bored you’re surfing the web on your over-priced phone.
I don’t blame you.

STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. — Fire and rescue crews in Stafford County spent their evening Friday looking for an aircraft reported to be in distress.
At 10:15 p.m., about 45 minutes after the call went out, search was referred to as a “wild goose” chase.
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — Several versions of a new logo were considered in the search for what symbol should represent Prince William County.
Now that use of the infamous “blue box” logo has been halted, prior versions of a new logo for the county produced before the blue box design have been made public.
MANASSAS, Va. — Richard D. Sword appeared in the Manassas Courthouse yet again in the ongoing saga of the Sword trial. Richard Sword and his brother Gerry were arrested on murder charges in late 2012 for the death of 44-year-old Anthony Bailey of Manassas.
In February, the charge was reduced to tampering, transporting, secreting, concealing or altering a dead body after the medical examiner’s report showed that Bailey died from a mixture of ethanol, Paroxetine (an anti-depressant), and Benedryl.
