She asks a few questions, he answers them, and she begins to cut his hair, starting with clippers. Then after wetting his hair with a spray bottle, she puts on the finishing touches using a scissor and comb. Once she’s done, she pulls out a mirror to show him the back of his hair. He smiles as he checks out his haircut, and runs his hands along the back of his head to feel the length.

Culver City's modernist Cognoscenti Coffee started in 2009 and is staffed by friendly baristas who know everything about coffee. Cognoscenti doesn’t use fancy drink names and focuses on producing quality drip coffee, cappuccino, lattes, and cold brew in the Fashion District, Downtown LA, and Culver City. This longtime cafe now has three locations throughout Southern California. Whether visiting 10 Speed in Santa Monica or Sawtelle, the coffee is strong and well made, while the space is a solid place to hang out for the day, especially the cozy Calabasas location.

We also offer outside bistro-style seating, and leash holders for our four-legged customers. And while we are serious about our coffee and our service, everything else here is laid back. Not only is our coffee locally roasted, but our breads, bakery items, and bagels travel just a handful of miles to us just about every day. And our brewed coffee's are bottomless, so there's no reason to ever leave with an empty cup. Proudly serving Philadelphia's most beloved coffee from LaColombe Coffee Roasters.

This Asian and woman-owned cafe offers a seating area as enjoyable as the espresso drinks, like the cappuccino made with espresso and sweetened coconut cream. The coffee at Koreatown’s Memorylook is as excellent as its matcha lattes, giant matcha brulee, and tiramisu doughnuts. Memorylook is an ideal cafe to work from with indoor and outdoor seating, but gets incredibly busy, so plan accordingly. It is a cafe but also a community space that hosts special events. Staff serve incredible coffee beans sourced from around the globe and roast them at a site near the cafe. Those who grew up in LA will highly appreciate the LAUSD-esque coffee cake.
This Oaxacan coffee bar is stationed right at the entry to the shipping container food hall and serves brioche french toast, breakfast sandwiches, and quiche as well. The colorful facade, warm interior, and honey lavender lattes are what make Bloom & Plume one of LA’s most stylish coffee bars. Co-owner Maurice Harris has ample skill as an artist and floral designer and obsesses over both in his Historic Filipinotown cafe. Food is available too, including gluten-free vegan doughnuts and a bacon biscuit sandwich.

Though the coffee drinks are the specialty at Tilt, the matcha and other tea offerings are extensive. Located on the bottom floor of the Medallion apartments, Tilt is the place for coffee enthusiasts who crave good service and are in the mood for a strong single-origin cold brew. Los Angeles’s coffee scene is as distinct as its 75 miles of coastline and majestic mountains. Operators obsessed with sourcing the finest coffee beans and mastering roasting and brewing techniques mean that the city’s caffeine culture will continue to thrive. Add in Southern California’s multitude of cultures and the results are excellent pour-overs, espresso drinks, cold brews, Mexican mochas, and cà phê trứng (Vietnamese egg coffee).
We also steep our Cold Brew Coffee slowly over 24 hours, and offer a number of Iced Coffee options, as well as traditional and blended espresso-based drinks. A local favorite, Rose Park Roasters has three locations throughout Long Beach. If ordering from the Fourth Street outlet, take a seat and enjoy the floor-to-ceiling windows and house-made pastries.

It is worth the trek to Orange County’s Little Saigon for Trung Nguyên Legend Café. Everything tastes smooth without an ounce of coffee bean bitterness. Make time to try the dine-in coffee service presented on ornate wooden trays. Right in the middle of Thai Town is the Black- and Filipino-owned coffee shop Obet & Del’s. If headed to Community Goods during busy hours, settle into the line with a book or a podcast. The queue is consistent, as are the stellar coffee drinks like the einspänner latte with sweetened cream, cocoa powder, double espresso, and a pinch of salt.

Games always have those nice Profile menus that will be displayed when you fight against other players, which is a nice little feature. An entirely new style of card designed for more modern and bigger screens, social media, Discord, Twitch, etc. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the Braggart on Four Island hands out Stickers to Trainers who tell him about their achievements. The Stickers are applied to the back of the Trainer Card, in the top-left, and are colored red, blue, yellow, or gray (depending on the number of times that the player has made that particular achievement). Upon the player's first entry into Hoenn's Battle Frontier, their Trainer Card will be upgraded into a Frontier Pass by a woman at the entrance.

All of the strategies shown above have had success in big events, and you might even see them in the upcoming International and World Championships. Here’s an example of a popular Pikachu & Zekrom-GX deck that features only Basic Pokémon. A Pokemon Trainer Card Maker does exactly what I have just described above.

Without them, you won’t be able to find the cards you need at the right times, and you won’t be able to execute your strategy as often as you’d like. As tempting as it is to put tons of different Pokémon in your deck, you need to make room for a lot of Trainer cards. In addition to those specialized cards, Cynthia, Guzma, and Lillie are all staple Supporter cards that you’ll see included in most competitive decks.
For example, the popular combination of Choice Band and Electropower adds extra damage when you need it. Guzma, Switch, Zeraora-GX, and Escape Rope can all help you get the right Pokémon into battle—making sure your best attacker is in position or pulling a vulnerable Pokémon up off your opponent’s Bench. And Thunder Mountain Prism Star, Tapu Koko Prism Star, and Energy Switch can make sure you have enough Energy to attack every turn. Trainer cards have all sorts of powerful effects, and the right mix can lead you to victory. Choose your favorite style and have fun preparing your own Trainer Card in your own perfect way.

With just five Energy, this deck has space for lots of disruptive cards. Perhaps the most devastating card is Crushing Hammer, which has a 50% chance of discarding an Energy from one of your opponent’s Pokémon. When you combine that with Enhanced Hammer, Plumeria, Team Skull Grunt, and Counter Catcher, your opponent will have a very hard time using any attacks at all. Disrupting and denying your opponent’s plans is an effective strategy, and this deck excels at it. At first glance, 11 Energy cards may not seem like enough, especially compared with the 20 seen in most theme decks.
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Badges are displayed at the upper screen of the Nintendo DS instead. Unlike Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the player is able to sign his or her Trainer Card without having to go to a Pokémon Center. When the player obtains a Badge, the respective Gym Leader face is permanently replaced by the Badge, and their name (in Japanese games) disappears as well. To save Trainer Cards or import a saved friend code, login or register a Pokécharms account. At PokeCardMaker, we have a long history of custom creating trading cards.

On the other hand, a deck that uses only Basic Pokémon may have only 10–14 Pokémon, meaning you can play even more Trainers and Energy.

Legacy Style Cards have their own retro charm with all of these Pixel arts Trainers from the pre-XY era. You can find a way to a bigger pool of backgrounds to choose from, and all Pokemon from the pre-Scarlet and Violet era will be available. Pokemons have various images for you to choose from and you can even use their Shiny version if you want to. Here’s what a Modern Style Card looks like with some of my favorite Pokemon in it. Backgrounds and Trainers are ripped directly from titles like Legends Arceus, Masters, and Scarlet and Violet, and you can choose any combination of them to represent your Card.
Including a lot of different Pokémon means you won’t have room for the Trainer and Energy cards you need. After that, come up with a clear strategy to take advantage of your Pokémon’s strengths. From there, you can choose the best cards that help you execute your strategy. Trainers will spend hours building their dream team with the best and strongest Pokemon they can find.

The very first Trainer Card Maker has been recently uploaded for Generation IX, offering full support for all current Pokemon with the Modern Style Cards. But if you’re an old-style card enjoyer, the Legacy Style Cards are also available with support up to the Gen VIII Pokemon.
Originally, Cape Cod homes were often built to maximize available sunlight, with the largest and tallest windows facing south. This positioning helped minimize heating costs while taking advantage of natural light. You’ll typically see double-hung windows with shutters on the main floor, and dormers on the second to increase light and air circulation. Modern Cape Cod homes also feature beadboard or board-and-batten elements, along with functional built-ins to add storage. Because many Cape Cods are only 1,200-1,800 square feet, it’s essential to make good use of every square inch. These homes often include built-in bookshelves, china cabinets, beds, reading nooks, and decorative shelves, with beadboard paneling commonly found on kitchen cabinets and ceilings.
Double-hung windows
They quickly became a staple starter home for middle class couples and families looking to get their foot in the real estate market door, thanks to their simple style (which translated directly into a cheaper cost). Nowadays, newer, bigger builds of this timeless, budget-friendly option are still popping up along the shores and in the suburbs, it's safe to say this style isn't going anywhere. If you're in the market for a Cape Cod home, a full Cape is the largest (and most functional) variation to serve as a family home. Remember, the goal is to create a space that evokes a sense of tranquility, where you and your guests can escape and enjoy the timeless beauty of the Cape Cod house style. The Cape Cod house style has a rich history that dates back to the early colonial era in America.

The Cape’s steeply pitched, side-gabled roof was designed to shed ice and snow. In the 19th century, dormer windows appeared on the second floor to add light and space. Historical Capes were clad in long-lasting cedar shingles, sometimes with clapboards on the facade. The rectangular interior could be divided or not, with a large central chimney linked to a fireplace in each room.
Cons of Cape Cod-style architecture
Remember, the essence of the Cape Cod house style is about embracing classic design, paying attention to detail, and fostering a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Remember that the landscaping should reflect your personal taste and style, while also considering the climate and geographical characteristics of your area. With careful planning and attention to detail, you can create a beautiful landscape that enhances the curb appeal of your Cape Cod house and showcases its timeless charm.
Landscaping and Curb Appeal for Cape Cod Houses
Though this historic style originated as far back as the late 17th century, it has experienced resurgences in popularity many times since then. While Cape Cods first started sprouting up in Massachusetts, they were common in most of New England by 1740. By the 1830s, they had spread from southern New York to the upper portion of the state, where their popularity continued west into Ohio and Michigan. Today, Cape Cods can be found in most of the continental U.S., as the modern full Cape style had a resurgence during the 20th century. “There can be a very thick layer of aesthetics laid over the function,” Seifter says.
These modest and practical homes have been around for more than 3 centuries without having lost their appeal. Share your thoughts about how you’ve overcome the drawbacks in the comments box below. Nowadays, original Capes like those have sometimes been added onto so often that they have a kind of “Russian doll” look, Seifter says. But these houses built by the early American settlers were not named after their locale, at least not initially. Early iterations were often just one- or two-room cottages with a fireplace in the middle—the room with the fireplace always doubled as the bedroom—but the style has continued to evolve in accordance with the times.
Decor and Furnishings in Cape Cod Houses
The earliest Cape Cod-style houses were built by Puritans in New England; the snug, one-story homes were designed to withstand the harsh environment. The half-cape style homes feature a corner front door with two multi-paned windows on the other side. The half-cape began as a starter home and over time, the settlers kept adding more rooms to it to accommodate their growing families.
Using natural wood roof shingles and siding on the facade can enhance the look while catching the eye. Also, using a lighter-hued covering can make it look more bigger and brighter. Here you’ll learn all about this style home, its defining characteristics, advantages and drawbacks as well as the most common types of Cape Cod style Houses. The names we attach to our residential architecture is telling of the times.

That penthouse with a cottage atop 1st Street and 1st Avenue is ... back... on... the... market!.
Colonial Revival Cape Cod houses became especially popular during the 1930s and later. For a Cape Cod style home, feeling cozy is key — and when it comes to feeling comfortable in a home, one of the best places to start is the lighting. A Cape house may start to feel closed off with harsh lights or grandiose fixtures because of its smaller, boxed rooms and low ceilings, so lighting is key to complimenting the space. Given the fact that they're called Cape Cods, it's no secret that these homes have a breezy, beachy feel through and through.
There’s less space to clean, heat, maintain, or furnish, and many rooms are multi-functional, with built-in shelving and storage features. The exterior commonly features a smaller yard, which means less mowing and shoveling. The steep roofs also prevent heavy snow from accumulating over the winter. Overall, the Cape Cod-style house is an excellent choice for homebuyers searching for a modestly sized home, whether as a starter home or when it’s time to downsize.
In this comprehensive guide, we have explored the history, characteristics, exterior and interior features, color schemes, and landscaping aspects of Cape Cod houses. We have discussed how to renovate and remodel these homes while preserving their unique charm. Additionally, we have provided tips on how to incorporate the Cape Cod house look into any home. The interior features of a Cape Cod house reflect a timeless and inviting aesthetic.
The interior of traditional Cape Cod houses are constructed from durable materials like cedar, oak, and pine. Original Cape Cod homes also had hardwood floors, which remain popular today. The style fell out of popularity temporarily but had a resurgence post World War ll, known as the Cape Cod Revival. These homes were built to help house families and veterans returning from war. A modestly scaled interior meant that original Cape Cod homeowners had to maximize whatever details they included in their homes.

We also reviewed each ship’s cruise itinerary, dining and wellness options, and the types of experiences and excursions available to guests.
The storied Cunard cruise line, with more than 180 years of seafaring history, returned to Alaska after nearly 30 years when it arrived back in the Great Land in 2019. In addition to more than 140 shore experiences that immerse guests into this magical destination, Cunard invites explorers, travel writers and locals onboard to share their passions and knowledge. The cruise line takes inspiration from Alaska with special local dishes served in its onboard restaurants, and the return of the Ice White Ball, a formal gala affair with a glacial twist. Among the most popular cruise ships in Alaska, you’ll find a wide range of choices, from mainstream lines to luxury.
The best Alaska cruises range from off-the-beaten-path voyages on vessels carrying fewer than 100 passengers to weeklong jaunts through the Inside Passage aboard megaships that hold thousands. While the kids enjoy Discovery Princess' spacious children's and teens' clubs, the adults might linger over a craft cocktail or enjoy a massage in the onboard spa. The family can come together for meals in a variety of casual and fine dining restaurants, and enjoy original production shows as the ship sails between ports. A day aboard the 86-passenger Wilderness Legacy might start out with a hike to a glacial lake followed by an early-evening kayak adventure in Thomas Bay.
