... getting up at a lazy hour and having breakfast, I did a load of laundry to avoid that arduous chore upon arriving home, and went for a walk down to the beach. Since the beach and I don't mix that well with my pasty European skin, we didn't stay long before heading to Duke's for lunch. We queued early to get the best seats at the front of the restaurant, where you could enjoy views of the beach, the water and fat tanned German tourists applying baby oil.

We got there right as it opened and got a table right on the ocean. We got to see people learning to hula on the beach and watched surfers and paddle boarders. The food was great, they had a plethora of Hawaiian fruits which I took advantage of. They also had a fresh catch of ...

Historical Traveler Reviews The New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel Honolulu
Wow!! - what a treat
This is a real find - a truly wonderful hotel at the quiet end of Waikiki on a superb little beach. When we were shown our room (a corned ocean front room) it completely took my breath away. The view is truly as good as it gets - two walls of floor to ceiling windows, one overlooking the ocean and the other Waikiki). You could lie in bed at night and watch the lights of Waikiki - absolutely stunning. I loved sitting there and just gazing out to sea or looking at Waikiki. The balcony had a lounger as well as chairs and table and got all the afternoon and late evening sun.
Lovely experience
I recently stayed at the New Otani with my teenage son, who completed his diving certification while I attended a conference. We enjoyed this hotel so much. The location -- away from the downtown hussle, across from a lovely park, and within walking distance of the aquarium -- was perfect. The hotel beach was wonderful for swimming and snorkling, although the beach itself got a bit crowded. Even some surfing. Very convenient to destinations by car. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. We enjoyed both restaurants -- I picked this hotel in part because it houses a wonderful Japanese restaurant. Our room was small, but pleasant, clean and safe, and we were rarely in it.
Lovely, quiet, & classy little hotel
I stayed at the New Otani Kaimana back in Sept. 2003 while on a personal visit to Honolulu. The primary reason I chose this hotel is because the late entertainer Arthur Lyman used to play vibes there before his death, and Arthur had once been a very special person in my life. My trip to Honolulu was actually a sad journey, but was made much much nicer by the lovely people & facilities at the New Otani. From check-in to check-out, every employee I encountered treated me like I was someone special. They were all so nice & took exceptional care of me. I ate at the beach front restaurant at least 3 times, and each time was wonderful... and what a view! The valets, bellstaff, housekeeping, desk, restaurants... just everyone... were always friendly & polite & helpful. I also ate at several nearby wonderful restaurants (within walking distance). Just ask! They're there if you know where to look. Having a rental car (or taking the bus) is a must if you're going very far though. The beach here is absolutely beautiful and never crowded (yes, you have to walk around the hotel, but BIG deal) and the locals will always welcome you to events in the nearby park. Yes, my room was "small" by most standards, but it was definitely more than adequate and was light & airy. And the view was fantastic. Would I stay here again? In a heartbeat!
Warning to non-smokers!
The New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel has the potential for being a true gem. It is affordable, offers sweeping views from the room lanais, a great beachfront location away from the noise and frenzy of Waikiki, and is home to Hau Tree Lanai, one of the best restaurants in Honolulu.
Friendly Staff But SMALL Rooms
I just got back yesterday from staying here for 4 nights.
New Otani Kaimana - quiet beach, OK stay
Just returned from a short trip in mid-November to Oahu, stayed at the New Otani Kaimana hotel based upon previous good reviews and decent rate (use the hotel's own website as there are several good package deals offered). Was pleased upon my early arrival to see that my room was ready (be aware there are no non-smoking rooms; they offered to air out the room before I got there, which seemed to have worked as there was no smell of smoke). The beach area in front of the hotel is very nice, extremely quiet compared to those in Waikiki. However, I was surprised to find how far removed the hotel was from Waikiki; I was traveling alone and would have liked to have been closer to the shopping, restaurants, and busier beaches, especially at night. In order to get to Waikiki beach, it's about a 15-minute walk across Kapiolani Park; this was fine during the day (although if you're carrying all of your beach gear and anxious to hit the beach, it can seem like a lot longer), but at night, it didn't feel very safe walking back to the hotel, especially since I was female and alone, as there are several areas along the walk that are not well-lit (I waited about 1/2 hour for the bus one evening, as there is only one bus line that will take you down that way - and many of the shuttles and tours will charge you $2 extra compared to the Waikiki hotels because of the additional distance; cabs are expensive). Also, the best waves to surf and boogie board are in Waikiki, not at the Otani (and it's much less expensive to rent a surfboard/take lessons in Waikiki than at Otani as well!), however the snorkeling was excellent right in front of the hotel. My room was very small, as the bed took up the majority of the area, but since it was only myself, it wasn't a problem. My package was for a standard room, so I was pleasantly surprised when I looked out the small balcony to see both Diamond Head and the ocean on opposite sides (not the greatest view, but a view nonetheless). The bathroom was small, and the water pressure was terrible, but it was cleaned very quickly after I left each morning. The beachside restaurant was extremely overpriced, but luckily my package came with breakfast coupons that allowed me to pick from the menu - very good breakfasts without exception - try the coconut macadamia nut french toast. The location of the restaurant was perfect, as every morning I got a table facing the ocean (~30 feet away); it was very peaceful and a great way to start the day. There is a small sandwich shop in the hotel which was handy for lunch, but unless I wanted to eat dinner at the 2 overpriced hotel restaurants, it was another hike back into Waikiki. I was a bit surprised by the lack of knowledge of the hotel's "travel desk" clerks - one who was on duty when I tried to get a rental car booked said she "wasn't really familiar with the area of the hotel" and later directed me back to the receptionist when I inquired about how to get to Diamond Head park. Also, be aware that there are no cash machines in the area - a trip into Waikiki is necessary, so make sure you leave yourself enough cash for the shuttle/cab back to the airport on your last day.
Absolutely Fabulous
The New Otani Kaimana Beach hotel is absolutely by far the best hotel that I've ever stayed in. It is on the quiet end of Waikiki Beach, as the website says, but truly only a 5 min walk to the chaos at Waikiki. No big monster hotels next door, no loud traffic, just a terrific staff and uninterrupted peace and the most amazing unobstructed views of the Pacific and Diamond Head. Truly a treasure!
The hidden gem near diamondhead
best deal in town, best beach, small rooms, great japanese restaurant- get the special fixed price meal, locals hang out on this cool beach with very few tourists compared with a half mile in wiakiki central where it is pure tourists. The gem hotel, I have been a guest more than a dozen times, good service. enjoy ALOHA
Good hotel, a little dull, great location
While we picked this hotel because of a discount we got, via an acquaintance, we had already been attraced to its location, simple rooms, and Japanese touches. First of all, the hotel is separated from the crowds of Waikiki by a park, and while there is a cluster of hotels and condos nearby, it feels relaxed and quiet. When we wanted a livelier beach or a "happening" beachside bar, we strolled up the beach a ways. Also, the new W is basically across the parking lot, and there's a lively hipster scene in the 2nd floor bar.Our corner room was fantastic with a wrap-around balcony and view of waikiki and the sunsets. These rooms are slightly more expensive but worth it. Nice to see an empty in-room refrigerator--no tempting minibar.We had specially reserved a tatami mat room at the Kaiseki restaurant, and despite double checking before arrival, the tatami room wasn't available. However, the restaurant seated us at a regular table and gave us our meal for free! Of course we spent more on sake, but the meal was fantastic and we were very impressed.However, the main beach-front restaurant managed to fumble our breakfast--incredibly slow service, served us the wrong items, and way overpriced. Avoid it. The hotel seems ill-at-ease with its beachfront location; beach access is through a one-way back door down a hallway, and to return you have to go all the way back around to the front door. Not too inconvenient, but this is not a hotel that seems to embrace a casual, bare-sandy-feet kind of attitude. Which, really, is kind of nice--no bratty kids running around.Overall, a slightly expensive but very pleasant small hotel, away from the crowds but close enough to feel a part of Waikiki.
New Otani Kaimana Beach, Waikiki
A nice location, near/in the park and on the quiet end of Waikiki beach. Snorkeling is very good. Great views with the right room. Neat restaurants, one Japanese and one under a tree right on the beach.

Concept and creationEdit
As Masami Kurumada uses the revered Osamu Tezuka's Star System technique, (a stable cast of characters which play a different or similar role in the author's various works, sometimes with the same personality and sometimes with an entirely new one), he designed Shiryu's appearance very similarly to that of Eidou Jun, a character in the successful Ring ni Kakero, a manga that Kurumada wrote and drew years before Saint Seiya, and that he considers his favorite creation. Also, Shiryu's appearance is almost identical to Azusa Ranmaru, from the work Kurumada authored before Saint Seiya, Otoko Zaka.Personality and appearenceEdit
Out of all five main characters, Shiryū is known as the calmest and most collected. His sheer physical strength is the greatest of the Bronze Saints, with the possible exception of Phoenix Ikki. This is reflected in his ability to win numerous battles without his Dragon Cloth. Shiryū was trained at the Five Old Peaks (庐山五老峰) in China where he learned to reverse the waterfall's flow with his techniques and obtained the Dragon Bronze Cloth. His mentor was the Libra Gold Saint, Libra Dōko. Shiryū sports a large tattoo-like image of a green and white dragon on his back. However, it is said in the manga and the anime that it is not a tattoo but is connected to his guardian dragon star and only appears as his Cosmo is rising. Whenever his life is in danger, the tattoo-like image begins to fade away—once it completely vanishes, it is a sign that Shiryu's Cosmo is nearing zero, and Shiryu himself is nearing death.Chronology (Next Dimension)Edit
Sometime after defeating Hades in the Elysian Fields, Shiryu returned to China, where he lived peacefully with Shunrei Shoryu and her daughter as a farmer. Hyoga visited him in search of Rozan and convinced him to help Seiya, but before the failure part. Tohma comes to the Five Peaks and attacks the saint, who does not react and is thrown into a large waterfall where Dragon Cloth was again sealed. When the angel vai, Shiryu remove the casket from the bottom and fires up the family, leaving for the new combat carrying a cane that belonged to the late Old Master.
Techniques and abilitiesEdit
During his training in Rozan (Mount Lu, 庐山), Shiryu had awakened his Cosmo and learned many fighting styles as well as fundamental wisdom from his master, Libra Dohko. During the Sanctuary Arc, Shiryu awakens the 7th sense in his fight against Cancer Deathmask. He awoke the 8th sense during the Hades Arc.
Unlike the techniques of the other Bronze Saints, however, Shiryu's Rozan Rising Dragon Force does have one weakness—while performing the move, his heart will be left open for a millisecond. Only three people in the series have noted this: his master Libra Dohko, Bronze Saint Pegasus Seiya, and Gold Saint Capricorn Shura. When fighting Shura, Shiryu used this weakness as a decoy to lure Shura to hew his heart, then Shiryu was able to hurt Shura successfully.
Excalibur (聖剣, Ekusukaribā): After defeating Capricorn Shura, Shiryu is entrusted with the Gold Saint's legendary technique Excalibur. Rather than a physical blade, Excalibur is a deadly Cosmo focused with precise sharpness on Shiryu's right arm. Although Shiryu's version of the sword was not as defined as Shura's (Shiryu's Excalibur lies only in his right arm, while Shura's can be unleashed from any of his limbs), the Dragon later refined it to the point of rivaling Shura's and used it to cut the unbreakable golden spear of Chrysaor Krishna, the powerful Mariner General, during the Poseidon Chapter.
The axe technique of Specter Minotaurus Gordon defeated Shiryu's Excalibur however, Shiryu used his fists from then on.

Very nice!!! Wonderful to see caring rather than hating! Peace to you!I could cry watching the stories and accounts coming from your community. It so reminds me of my suburban NOLA home town of Chalmette La. Blue collar town of good people, mainly Catholic, who worked hard every day of their lives. Of over 29,000 homes only 3 escaped Katrina's water and one of those was elevated had the roof and second story blown completely off.
If you can find help with family and friends. The US government got food dropped on Mogadishu in 24 hrs but they couldn't get MRE to the La superdome for a week.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police resue team got to my home town in a couple of days. It took FEMA or any other US agency over a week! I will admit I'm a middle class guy who didn't for our current president but I am honest enough to say the help out of D. C. got much better after he got elected.
If the SBA offers you a big loan be warned if its over 250k it's like pulling teeth from an angry tiger trying to get the money. And I say that after my loan officer said I had the highest FICO score he ever saw. It means nothing to them.
This disaster brings out the best in good people and worst in bad people. Don't give any contractor money up front. Be very sceptical of out of town contractors, if they were real, good contractors they wouldn't have to go 1000 miles to find work. The day you owe them less than they have work left is the last day you see them.
Take care, NOLA loves you and has you in our thoughts and prayers. I know the days are dark but the sun will shine upon you again.

No the reason they make fun of us is because of hill-jacks like yourself..... You discriminate and categorize everything you dislike and you try to push your beliefs on everyone else. I grew up in a home where we were taught not to judge, to love our neighbors, help those who are in need, the necessities of humanity, something I can see you desperately lack. TO anyone who has been offended by this comment I am truly sorry, please don't think you are forgotten, you aren't and there are people who are working hard to get things sent to help restore even a small amount of normality to your lives I just wish there was more we could all do. |

I hope this has more of a story base. I really liked The Avengers but it came off as a bit of an event comic with minimal story, which worked for its intended purposes but I think the next film needs more meet to it. Thanos is a great character so he will probably provide the bulk of that.
He needs to get a better handle on the characters. It was funny seeing Cap tell Thor what to do when the latter battled Frost Giants who could scramble Chitauri troops like eggs. Thor should've been way ahead of Cap with his bottleneck strategy. LOL.

Eh, Comics is a pretty cool guy...
How is that bad writing? Movie Thor is pretty consistently written as a not-too-saavy tactician. He couldn't understand the greater implications of storming into Frost Giant land and got fooled by Loki's tricks twice. It makes sense to me that he'd probably take orders from an already proven leader who probably has a better grasp on the layouts and tactical advantages found in an Earth city.
Eh, Comics is a pretty cool guy...
Thor's great at hitting big stuff with his hammer, but one of the things we learned about him in his own movie is that strategy isn't exactly his strong suit.
Why would we think that? He's always been portrayed as a hot-headed, hit first ask questions later type.
Simonson's Thor never made me regard him as a dumb oaf who always needed the dots connected for him. Now, I haven't read Thor post-Simonson, so I don't know what happened afterward. I know the guy likes his mead, but drunk and stupid at the same time doesn't have to mean stupid later. And by the end of the movie, we're supposed to assume he's learned at least a couple lessons.

But Simonson's Thor was a fully matured man. Thor in the movies is a young man (for an asgardian) who only just matured to the point that he could redeem himself in Odin's eyes and show that he could one day be the king of Asgard. But he isn't there yet. By the time we get to Thor and Avengers 3 I expect we will see a more capable and thoughtful Thor. It's called character growth.

The Boston Red Sox and free-agent outfielder Shane Victorino have agreed to a three-year, $39 million deal, according to sources.
The Cleveland Indians offered Victorino $44 million over four years, according to sources, which is evidence of the team's flexibility. Victorino ultimately gets $2 million more per year with the Red Sox deal.
Victorino, 32, was traded from the Philadelphia Phillies to the Los Angeles Dodgers at the July 31 trade deadline. He is a two-time All-Star and has won three Gold Gloves. He won a World Series championship as a member of the Phillies in 2008.

Daylight saving time: a payroll headache
There are fans and foes of daylight saving time, which began at 2 a.m. Sunday.
It means setting our clocks forward an hour, and for many, that means losing an hour of sleep every spring.
But for shift workers, it means working one hour less.
Beth Skaggs is an attorney with Varnum Law in Grand Rapids.
She says daylight saving time can get a bit confusing when it comes to payroll
"For employers, it can create some headaches when they have third-shift workers who are actually working at the time when daylight saving time change occurs," Skaggs says.
Varnum says in the spring, employers are not required to pay workers for the phantom hour when daylight saving time takes effect.
However, she says employers are required to pay for the extra hour worked when daylight saving time ends in the fall.

Kinsey and Me : Stories
In 1982, Sue Grafton introduced us to Kinsey Millhone. Thirty years later, Kinsey is an established international icon and Sue, a number-one bestselling author. To mark this anniversary year, Sue has given us stories that reveal Kinsey's origins and Sue's past. 'I've come to believe that Grafton is not only the most talented woman writing crime fiction today but also that, regardless of gender, her Millhone books are among the five or six best series any American has ever written.'-Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post Kinsey and Me has two parts: The nine Kinsey stories (1986-93), each a gem of detection; and the And Me stories, written in the decade after Grafton's mother died. Together, they show just how much of Kinsey is a distillation of her creator's past even as they reveal a child who, free of parental interventions, read everything and roamed everywhere. But the dark side of such freedom was that very parental distance. The same unique voice and witty insights readers fell in love with in A Is for Alibi permeate the Kinsey stories. Those in the And Me section trace a remarkable voyage, from anger to understanding, from pain to forgiveness. They take us into a troubled family, dysfunctional as most families are, each in their own way, but Grafton's telling is sensitive, delicate, and ultimately, loving. Enriching the way we see Kinsey and know Sue, these stories are deeply affecting.

Simplicity as a Journey

The advantages of side-loading garages
The garage is a main entrance for many homeowners, but it also serves a number of other design functions. While plenty of homes feature garage entrances on their front facades, homeowners may want to consider the advantages of side-loading garages, an easily achievable addition to many craftsman house plans.
A cleaner front
Side-loading garages are often built for the purpose of aesthetics. Garages on the front of the house can be distracting and are even considered an eyesore to some. Homeowners who want a "cleaner" front to their home may want to situate the garage on the side, where it is out of sight. A perfect example of the aesthetic gain of a side-loading garage is this family-friendly home model, which offers a perfectly symmetrical facade that would be disrupted by the placement of a garage door. Side-loading garages may not only suit your tastes, they can make a huge difference years down the line if you ever consider selling.
Curb appeal is one of the main arguments for a side-loading garage. While you may not be interested in selling your house anytime soon, this design choice may be considered an investment, much like the decision to buy a home in the first place. The front of a house is the first impression that potential buyers get, and can often influence their decision about whether to even look at the rest of the house.
Lot considerations
While a side-loading garage can look cleaner, it can sometimes be pricier and more inconvenient for homeowners than a simple front-loading garage. Every inch of driveway costs money, and you'll likely need to pave more to reach the side of the house than the front. Homeowners should talk with their architect or contractor about ways to minimize the cost of an extended driveway.
Another large problem with side garages is a matter of space. Your driveway will likely lead from the front yard to the side of the house, where it must then make a 90 degree turn to connect to the garage. Cars will need enough space to make that turn comfortably, meaning more pavement on the side of the house and a large enough lot to accommodate a sizable driveway.
This issue actually leads to a different kind of aesthetic concern. While you may have preserved the integrity of the front facade, driveways can eat up a considerable proportion of a side yard, thereby cutting down on grass, plants and potentially play space for children.
Consider design
If you have a sizable lot, then a side-loading garage may be a good option. However, whichever way you lean, it's also important to consider the overall design of the house in relation to the garage. The layout in this Mediterranean style home, for example, is positioned so that the garage connects immediately to a utility room and kitchen, while at the same time creating an enclave at the entrance of the house. In this case, the garage makes aesthetic as well as utilitarian sense. While you may be disinclined to choose a side-loading garage, you also need to examine connections such as these and decide whether the position of the garage contributes to a natural flow through the house.
Working the front
In that same vein, it's important to recognize that not all side-loading garages are prettier than their front-loading counterparts. Often a front-loading garage is an opportunity for smart and elegant design. While the garage is conspicuous, the door is designed to match the wood cladding on the left side of the facade, creating a tasteful connection throughout the house.
Housing construction is looking up
People shopping for floor plans in 2014 may find themselves in good company. Despite a slight dip in housing starts in December compared to November, it seems as if the housing production market will continue to grow in the coming year, with some cities already showing historic highs in terms of home building.
Spikes and improvements
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recently released statistics concerning the number of new privately owned housing units authorized in permit-issuing places over the past year, as well as statistics on the different phases of construction for new privately owned units. Nationally speaking, the number of permits and housing starts saw a decrease from November to December last year, with a 3 percent and a 10 percent dip respectively. However, November marked an unusual spike in 2013's overall trend.
Compared to December 2012, this last month actually saw a 4 percent increase in terms of authorized permits. Looking at yearly averages, there was a 17.5 percent improvement between 2012 and 2013, with 974,700 housing units last year over the 829,700 issuances in the previous year.
These statistics saw a roughly similar pattern in terms of housing starts, as there was a 1.6 percent increase in December 2013 compared to December 2012, and, in terms of yearly change, an 18.3 percent increase.
Breaking down the numbers
These national totals included multi- as well as single-family homes, but the statistics also showed improvements across differently sized housing units. Single-family homes – the largest sector of housing construction – also saw a percentage increase in permits authorized from year to year, as well as the number of homes under construction. Between 2012 and 2013, there was actually a 19 percent increase in single-family permits, roughly 1.5 percent higher than the total average. Housing starts, however, saw a roughly 3 percent dip for single-family homes. These numbers were then further broken down by national regions, all of which saw a yearly increase in issued permits.
While the December dip may seem to be a sign that the housing market is slowing, Rick Judson – chairman of the National Association of Home Builders – noted that December's numbers were merely a return to trend after a particularly robust November, and that it was the third-highest monthly level of production in 2013, according to the NAHB. In general, that trend seems to be positive.
"Last year was a good year for home building, with overall production up 18 percent from 2012," said Chief Economist David Crowe of the National Association of Home Builders. "As pent-up demand is unlocked and the labor market improves, we anticipate that 2014 should be an even better year for home construction. That's good news for economic growth, as each new home that is built creates three full-time jobs and contributes to the tax base of local communities."
Cities of growth
While those statistics looked at general trends across regions, USA Today recently reported that some cities are seeing particularly robust improvements. Major cities in Texas in particular have reached 30-year average levels of single-family home building, specifically in Houston and Austin. Other cities that saw improvements include Nashville, San Antonio, Dallas and Jacksonville. When including multifamily construction, San Francisco, New York Seattle, Boston and Miami also reached or surpassed their own historic building levels.
Apparently some cities were able to reach those numbers because they hadn't already been overbuilt. Yet, according to the news source, economists are citing available land, pent-up demand, strong economies and good job growth as other reasons for the improved numbers.
Understanding impact fees
Jurisdictions across the U.S. have taken to charging impact fees on new developments. These fees are designed to cover the cost of utilities, schools, roads, parks and other community amenities that form the public infrastructure. Contractors may already be aware of these fees, but homeowners looking at floor plans should, too, as they can become reflected in the overall cost of a newly built home.
History of impact fees
According to the National Association of Home Builders, impact fees started in the 1970s in Florida and California as a funding source in light of federal aid cutbacks. Since then, they have become a resort for communities across the country in need of money to immediately improve public infrastructure, as well as those that have been unable to procure the necessary funding through regular bureaucratic channels. The context and legality of impact fees is a complex issue that has spawned into a handbook from the NAHB that is more than 100 pages long. However, what homeowners and contractors both need to know is that impact fees are now a common occurrence. Developers and builders need to know about the impact fee for their projects and figure out how to offset those costs. Homeowners should understand that impact fees translate into higher home prices depending on where they build.
Impact fees across regions
The latest survey concerning national impact fees comes from Duncan Associates in 2012, which compiled states' average impact fees. California had the highest of any state, with impact fees totaling $31,014 on average. The next highest impact fees were found mainly in the western and mid-Atlantic regions of the country, with Washington, Oregon, Montana, Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia all having average mpact fees between $10,000 and $17,000. Conversely, much of the Mid-West and Northeastern regions of the country had impact fees under $4,000 or none at all. Some of those without fees included Mississippi, Alabama, Maine, New York, Massachusetts, both Dakotas and Michigan.
Understanding the effects
The NAHB noted that the earlier a developer or builder knows the impact fee, the sooner he or she can adjust the cost of a home. Waiting too long could mean incurring the cost and losing out on a profit margin. Homeowners, on the other hand, will want to know impact fees to know how greatly the cost of the home is affected. They should also note that impact fees will change across jurisdictions, meaning choice of lot could determine the affordability of certain home projects or even of the home plans themselves.
Brightening your backyard with a fire pit
Campers can attest to the warmth and comfort of a good campfire. Around it, stories are shared, bread is broken and nighttime chills are kept pleasantly at bay. Fire pits are a way for homeowners to bring that cozy intimacy into their very own backyards – no tent required.
Fire pits today are so much more than the name implies, easily built into any shape and size and able to be fueled by your gas line. With so many options, it's important that homeowners take a look at just how fire pits can be incorporated into their home designs.
Design basics
The main purpose for a fire pit is communal, a place where people can gather and enjoy the flame whether on a winter day or a cool summer evening. As such, plenty of thought should be given to the design of the pit. It serves not just a decorative element in the backyard, but a centerpiece for parties and hangouts. Brick and stone are common, simple and elegant materials for a fire pit, often built in a circle a couple of feet high, though the pit can be any shape or depth you want. A good example of a classic fire pit is shown in the example of this country house plan. Even without a fire, the pit is still an attractive element of the backyard that matches the gray pillars and concrete floor of the house design.
While a 3-foot-wide fire pit may be a perfectly tasteful and modest size, homeowners should not feel limited by convention. If the fire pit is the main attraction of the backyard, it may be more enjoyable to go big with something as large as a 6-foot-wide fire pit. Conversely, if you have other attractions in your backyard, such as a pool, it may be better to scale back to a more manageable size.
Important considerations
When designing your fire pit, there are a few essential concerns you should address. First, you'll want to make sure there is enough room for people to sit around the pit comfortably. Second, you'll want to make sure that the fireplace is shallow enough that people can actually see the fire inside. While a well-designed fire pit can look beautiful without being lit, you still want the fire to be an attention-grabbing element. Finally, if you plan on having a wood-burning fire pit, you need to make sure it's deep enough to contain the fire, which is its original purpose in the first place.
Beyond the pit
Of course, technology and design have taken the fire pit well beyond its humble beginnings. Metal woks, troughs, tables and even gas-fueled rock piles are just some of the more modern approaches being used in new homes. That means a greater ability to customize a fire pit to a home. A chic, metal bowl design could be a good fit with minimalist contemporary house plans. Sprawling, graded backyards could make use of two small pits or troughs strategically positioned at different levels. Pool backyards could make use of a fire-lit grotto. If there is a design you have in mind, chances are you can find it or have it custom built.
You even have the option of blurring the line that separates indoors from the outdoors with full-blown fireplace, as seen in this elegant and luxurious patio design. With this particular patio, you can treat it as a secondary living room. Best of all, you, your guests and the fireplace are all protected from the elements, so you can enjoy the blaze come rain or shine.
Money-saving tips for landscaping
If you want your home to be picture perfect, then you should think of landscaping as the frame. The right exterior design not only showcases your home, it also has the ability to put it in the best possible light. Also like a picture frame, landscaping can cost quite a bit more money than you'd originally intended to spend.
Designing outdoor terrain wisely and economically is in many ways a unique response to lots and the floor plans involved. After all, you would never want to block an interesting detail lifted from modern house plans with shrubs, nor would you want to leave a two-story house's yard bare, making it feel exposed and imposing. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to save money while still creating beautiful yards. To better illustrate smart design, here are some tips and how they would apply to one of our contemporary house plans were it built in the New England area.

This particular plan is designed for a sloped lot, so that the front facade appears only to be one story, while the backyard reveals a sprawling first floor, a sizable basement and an interestingly asymmetrical design. Given the cutaway nature of the home, there is plenty of opportunity for landscaping all around the house.
Homeowners may be tempted to blindly landscape their yard with all of the plants and trees they love, but that can end up with a large bill for unnecessary design. Landscaping should be a response to the house's focal points and design elements. As such, trees in the front yard would unnecessarily obscure the grand pillared entrance and the interesting stone wall facade. Low shrubs may be a better choice. As you walk along the left side of the house, you can start to incorporate taller bushes and trees as the wall gets larger. Flowers can also be used strategically to emphasize walking paths, creating a strong visual element that doesn't require an entire flower bed. By choosing plants as a tool for showcasing your house, you can save more money than by just designing a pretty yard.
Buy natives and perennials
The kinds of flowers and shrubs you choose to buy will likely be the largest factor in your landscaping expense. Exotic flowers and shrubs that can't handle the climate are ultimately a waste of money. Stick to tried and true plants that will thrive in the region. Better Homes and Gardens provides a guide to the top native plants of the Northeast, many of which are easy to grow and maintain. Wild Anemone and Merrybells, for example, are both beautiful ground covers that can be used to line the sides of the house or demarcate the border of your property.
Also, you'll get more bang for your buck with perennials. They last longer than other types of plants and also generally cost less. Be sure to accent with at least some kind of tree, which can become an essential focal point on the back end of a house as sizable as our example.
Utilize mulch paths and built objects
This home boasts plenty of nooks and crannies. Laying down winding flagstone paths can be expensive and unnecessary, especially for a home that lends itself to a more humble landscaping approach. Mulch paths are cheaper than stone and match the country cottage vibe of the front-yard design.
Buy and plant at the right time
Plants and seeds change in cost throughout the year depending on the season and kind of plant. Research the cheapest seasons for those plants that interest you before buying. Also, you should plant at those times that best guarantee survival. Summer can leave flowers and grass without water to establish roots. In New England, you should also be wary of fluctuating temperatures in early spring that might frost and kill plants.
Integrated drain boards are smart design
Counter space is invaluable in a kitchen, which means that efficient design is key. Integrated drain boards are one of the more ingenious elements you can incorporate into your kitchen. Best of all, their sleek but unassuming look makes them as fitting a choice for modern house plans as they are for detail-oriented craftsman homes.
Smart solutions
When first moving into a home, kitchen counters look beautiful and untouched. Yet, inevitably homeowners must find places for spices, cutting boards and draining racks – one of the more unsightly, utilitarian aspects of a kitchen. The integrated drain board is an engineer's response to that problem. A section of the counter next the sink is slanted slightly so that water naturally pours into the basin. A series of ridges continue from the flat part of the counter over the incline to keep an even plane. Dishes, pots and pans that still need to dry can be places on the ridges, allowing water to drip onto the incline and into the sink. When it comes time to clean the drain board, all you need to do is wipe it down with a dish towel. Once you've put away the dishes, you have a countertop free of clutter.
Making room
The space saved by an integrated drain board makes it a good design element for kitchens large and small. With traditional drying racks, you would have to find storage space for them when they're not being used. When you're not using an integrated board, you can easily place a cutting board on top of it to create a flat surface for kitchen work. If you are cutting or cleaning raw vegetables or meat, you just need to remember to wash the drain board thoroughly, which is again made easy by its self-draining design. The only drawback is that the drain board is a custom part of the countertop, meaning that you need to make a decision to install one before laying down your chosen surface.
Matching to your home
The aesthetic benefit of an integrated drain board is obvious, as your kitchen will consist of fewer distracting design elements. For craftsman house plans, you may choose to have the ridges be the same material as the rest of the countertop. For more modern, minimalist home designs, you can choose to make the ridges metal to create a sleek, contemporary statement. Once you've decided on a drain board, the style is really up to you.

In this Panty Play Ground I will be selling my perfectly worn panties, bras, stockings, hosiery, robes and more. Worn by me just for you! I also sell customized videos and picture sets but tend to keep it to the softer side of things.

Crews are working to stop a sewage overflow going into the Reddy Branch Creek in Olney.
Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) says the sewage overflow was discovered Tuesday at around 11:30 a.m. and is coming from a 16-inch force main.
Workers have found the pipe, but they have not pinpointed the break. The pipe is located near other underground utility lines, making the break more difficult to find.
The cause is still undetermined.
WSSC says most of the overflow is coming from manholes near the Reddy Branch Wastewater Pumping station. The flow rate is varying, ranging up to 500 gallons per minute.
The pumping station was shut down to relieve pressure on the force main and to help with the repair.
The Maryland Department of the Environment and the Montgomery County Department of the Environmental Protection have been notified.

Alcoa sets ambitious recycling goal
Projects aluminum can recycling at 75% by 2015
Alcoa announced that it has established a goal to raise the industry's used beverage can (UBC) recycling rate in North America from its current 52% rate to 75% by 2015.
In the United States aluminum beverage can market of over 1.5 million metric tons per year, about 800,000 tons of UBCs are currently being recycled. Greg Wittbecker, Alcoa's director of corporate metal recycling strategy, said that the United States recycling rate has fallen steadily from its high of 68% in 1992. In comparison, Brazil and Japan report phenomenal recycling rates of nearly 95% and 92%, respectively, and the global average is 60%.
Wittbecker cited several reasons why recycling has fallen in North America, including inconvenient collection systems, technology stagnation in coated scrap processing and commercial objectives that have not been aligned with recycling.
If 75% of UBCs not currently recycled in North America are brought back into the system that equates to about 600,000 metric tons of aluminum, Wittbecker explained. That 600,000 metric tons is equal to a savings of 1,286 megawatts of electricity, or the equivalent of two average-sized coal power plants running at maximum efficiency 24/7.
Alcoa recently began a $22 million investment to expand recycling capacity at its Tennessee operations by nearly 50 percent. The expansion will utilize state-of-the-art environmental and fuel efficiency technologies and support future flexibility to process other aluminum scrap types.
Wittbecker outlined a number of possible approaches to help increase the recycling rate, including behavior changes, making recycling and collection more convenient, technical improvements for processing coated materials and enhanced commercial alliances across all in the industry.

Only in America
World of Our Fathers
You can change your religion but not your grandfather, said Ludwig Börne, who should have known. This, presumably, is the wisdom prevailing behind the torrents of nostalgia inundating the American Jewish community. When the Jewish Museum a few years ago mounted a lavish exhibition about the lower East Side, droves of college-educated, Bloomingdale's-outfitted people came to Fifth Avenue to stare dreamily at the photos of pious, bedraggled Jews who looked as if they had come from another planet. More recently the same audience turned Hester Street into the sleeper of the year. But it is mostly in the printed word—Jews will be Jews—that the fashion is to be found. Publishers pour out a profusion of memoirs, novels, studies, and handsome photographic albums that undoubtedly make their way to any number of suburban coffee tables and bewildered Bar-mitzvah boys.
Into this hectic recherche du temps perdu comes Irving Howe's book. Perhaps its most refreshing strength in this climate of rampant Jewish sentimentality is its utter lack of any. Howe is not one of those uneasy Jews who at the first whiff of herring or flicker of a Sabbath candle break into prose poetry. (His manner recalls Chekhov's reaction to Tolstoy's romanticized muzhiks: "There is peasant blood in my veins and you can't bowl me over with peasant virtues.") He knows what made his fathers great and what made them small, and his sobriety is itself an eloquent act of homage.
World of Our Fathers, let it be said at once, is a masterly social and cultural history, a vivid, elegiac, and scrupulously documented portrait of a complicated culture, from its heroic beginnings to its unheroic end. Fully conversant with the literature on America's Jews, Howe has generously supplemented it with the little-known writings of journalists and memoirists, and studded his narrative with those evocative petits faits significatifs without which social history would be only a slightly less dreary branch of sociology. Never once does he lose sight of his hero, dos kleyne menshele, the little man; the compassion in his scholarship has a strong Orwellian ring.
Beginning in the 1880s, and for several decades following, roughly two million Jews made the perilous journey from the Pale to New York. As Howe depicts it, the most distinctive feature of their life on the lower East Side was its intensity, the seemingly inexhaustible energies realizing and dissipating themselves in those cramped, clamorous streets. There all the pent-up desires of an age-old exile appeared to be finding release, among them many which had had to remain underground in the firmly ordered Jewish society of Eastern Europe. But in the teeming and still formless world of the disembarked immigrants, anything seemed possible, as strangers in a strange land struggled to lift themselves out of their wretchedness, belatedly claiming their share of unexplored experience and expression.
The intellectual vitality of these slum-dwellers was also astonishing. With the Torah and the Talmud they brought Das Kapital and …

The "Battle of Shock Town" proved to be the springboard that propelled a local 14U softball team into its first USSSA Eastern Regional World Series appearance in Salisbury, Md., recently.
There the squad earned third place to complete a remarkable 2013 season.
After four days of play and 11 games, the Pittsburgh Shock, as the 14U team is dubbed, finished third out of 60 teams that participated.
"We are extremely pleased with the commitment, dedication and results from every young lady," said manager Gregg Adams.
"We have a strong core of talented young ladies on this team and they've made a name for themselves with their play at the 2013 World Series," added John Koutsogiani, club founder of the club.
The 14U team now heads to Rock Hill, S.C., to participate in the Queen of Diamonds South collegiate showcase tournament at the end of August.
Based in Peters Township, the Shock started out as a single team at the 10U level in 2012.
The organization now fields travel teams at the 10U, 12U and 14U level.
Tryouts for the 2013-14 season are currently underway. Next tryout dates are Aug. 10 and 17.
