Baltimore Ravens 2013 Team Review: Charm City or Nickel Town?

There was less charming and more harming done in Baltimore in 2013.

Boston is known as Beantown. New York is The Big Apple. Philadelphia is The City of Brotherly Love. Baltimore, for the longest time, didn't have an official nickname. By their neighbors on the East Coast, they were derisively called "Washington's Brooklyn", and referred to not as a city of gold, of silver, or even bronze, copper, or tin: Nickel Town was their moniker.

To be fair, they didn't have a lot going for them outside of great crabs, the 1970's Orioles baseball teams, the Preakness, and being the birthplace of Babe Ruth. A few ad agencies and the mayor of the city rebranded Baltimore as "Charm City" in 1975, citing its hidden charms and appeal to rival even their largest neighbors, if only you'd travel there and search for them.

Now I know not all of Baltimore is like what I've seen on "The Wire", but I'd wager there was less hidden charm in this Baltimore Ravens' 2013 season than there were five-cent performances by players making a lot more than a nickel to do their jobs. Baltimore's native son, satirist and journalist H.L. Mencken, wrote a very fitting epitaph to lead us into our breakdown of the Ravens' season: "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong." The complex problem that GM Ozzie Newsome faced? How to sustain a championship-winning team while five defensive starters and two offensive starters were eligible for free agency, a Hall of Fame linebacker retired and a wideout looking to be traded. The answer he came up with? It wasn't pretty.

The Good

Not to sound like gloomy ol' Edgar Allan Poe in the intro, there actually was a lot of good that happened in Baltimore last year, mostly on the defensive side of the ball. Entering the season, the team saw Ray Lewis retire, and Bernard Pollard, Ed Reed, Dannell Ellerbe, Cary Williams, and Paul Kruger all walk to free agency. It seemed like the vaunted Baltimore defense would be crippled. If these big names could only put up a 13th-ranked performance in against the pass and a 22nd-ranked one against the run in 2012, how much worse was it going to get?

Surprisingly, it got better. To put in perspective how savvy of a move it was to let the most feared safety duo in the league walk, let's first look at the contracts they signed: Reed went to the Houston Texans for $5 million per year for three years, Pollard to the Tennessee Titans for $2.5 million over one. Reed performed so poorly this year that he was benched by the Texans and New York Jets. Pollard started all season, but was lacking in coverage ability and was clearly more limited compared to his earlier days, nearly copying his tackle count from 2012 (98, 99 in 2013), but in three more games played.

If they had paid the (at the time, likely more than) $7.5 million annually to retain both players, they would have had a horrendous inefficiency on their hands at the safety position. Instead, they cut bait and took the opportunity to draft strong safety of the future Matt Elam and promoted veteran backup James Ihedigbo at the cost of only $1.412 million total for this year. The team's Adjusted Passing Defensive Net Expected Points (read more about Net Expected Points, or NEP, here) stayed steady at 13th place in the league, for at least $6 million less; Baltimore found a great bargain there.

Similarly, with the departures of Lewis, Ellerbe, and Kruger, the team lost three starters from the linebacker position. The latter two were signed at a combined cost of $13 million to their new teams in 2013. To solve this "complex problem", they brought in linebacker Daryl Smith and vultured Elvis Dumervil from the Broncos for a total of $1.84 million in 2013.

While Dumervil's statistical production dropped this season, his pass rush wreaked havoc on opposing lines and drew much attention away from his teammates. Smith was one to take advantage of this, as he posted career highs in tackles, sacks, passes defensed, and interceptions. These two players contributed greatly to the Ravens' defensive resurgence, and the unit as a whole pulled up from a 22nd place finish in Adj. Defensive Rushing NEP in 2012 to a top-10 mark in 2013.

The Bad

Like night and day were the Ravens' two major phases of play in 2013. The defense was much-improved and much cheaper. The offense? Well, it was the opposite.

If they were spending nickels on the defense and finding charms, they were dropping C-notes on the offense and getting those junky plastic rings from the coin-operated toy vendors at the grocery store. In 2012, this team ranked a respectable 18th in Adj. Passing NEP and 12th in Adj. Rushing NEP, which led them to their second Super Bowl title. In 2013, they struggled their way to 25th in passing offense and 32nd, dead last, in rushing offense when fixed for strength of schedule. What happened?

Feel free to reference my article on Jim Caldwell in Detroit in order to fully understand the effect he had on the Baltimore offense. In short: No one could have been worse than Cam Cameron was in 2012, so of course he was an instant improvement. In 2013, he wrecked Joe Flacco and ran Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce into the ground. Fortunately, Caldwell is out the door and ruining another quarterback (sorry, Lions fans).

As the numbers show, the big culprits for the team's offensive faltering can be found in the backfield: Rice and Pierce. This tandem brought in a 33.90 and -4.22 Total NEP in 2012, good for 4th and 30th among backs with more than 100 carries, respectively. In 2013, Rice's Total NEP dropped to -35.47 and Pierce's to -31.39, finishing as the 47th and 46th running backs in the league. Much of this was tied to the ongoing injury problems the two suffered during the year (Rice's hip injury and Pierce's shoulder and thigh). They never seemed to be running "hard"; they appeared to just be getting by.

However, another good portion of the blame must be placed on the offensive line as well. With the retirement of center and longtime mainstay Matt Birk and the re-signing of well-below-average left tackle Bryant McKinnie, the Ravens line became a sieve. Add to injury and insulting line play the fact that Joe Flacco's Total NEP dropped from 25.13 in 2012 to 0.99 in 2013, and you have stacked boxes against a bad line, wrecking hurt running backs: a recipe for disaster.

What Should They Do?

My first recommendation is to keep letting Ozzie Newsome do what he does with the defense. If anyone knows how to spot talent at a value on that side of the ball, it is this front office. Many observers were certain that with all the roster turnover and loss of leadership and experience on the defense, the unit would suffer greatly in 2013. In fact, it thrived and actually improved. With safety James Ihedigbo, cornerback Corey Graham, and linebacker Daryl Smith all set to hit free agency, should the Ravens not be able to resign them at fairly cheap deals, they should look elsewhere to fill their defensive holes.

Second, please find someone to handle offense, both in the front office and on the field. I know defense is the hallmark of Baltimore teams, but spending that much money on a fringe-average quarterback like Flacco and an atrocious offensive tackle like McKinnie shows that the "Wizard of Ozz" could use a helping hand in assembling his attacking team.

The hiring of Gary Kubiak as the team's offensive coordinator after Jim Caldwell's departure is a brilliant move, and should take care of the play on the field. Kubiak is a great game planner when he has the talent to work with, and he has arrived in a situation that does have its share of talent. I genuinely believe that by coaching up the offensive line and getting the running backs healthy, the Ravens will be able to do a lot more in every phase of the offense, including maximizing Flacco's throws to his safety blanket, tight end Dennis Pitta

Third, keep churning that "Charm City" nickname out. I's true. While there may not be many hidden gems on the roster currently, I have faith that Ozzie will find some in this offseason and get them on his squad. That's what he's best at, finding diamonds in the rough, and his franchise needs that quality now more than ever.

BACKGROUND: The activation status of the inflammatory system has been suggested to play an important role in predicting restenosis. Activation of leukocyte adhesion molecules occur after coronary intervention and the level of activation correlates to restenosis. However, little is known about the specific role of adhesion molecules before intervention. The purpose of this study concerned the search for differences in the expression level of selected adhesion molecules to identify suitable tools for the pre-procedural identification of restenosis patients prior to angioplasty. METHODS: Blood samples of 31 patients undergoing elective coronary angiography were obtained just before intervention. Seven healthy volunteers were also enrolled. Surface expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18), LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18), L-Selectin (CD62L), ICAM-1 (CD54), and MHC-II (HLA-DR) were assessed by flow cytometry. Patients with a successful angioplasty received a follow-up angiography after six months. RESULTS: According to the clinical and angiographic data, patients were divided into four groups: control (N = 14), no restenosis (N = 11), restenosis (N = 4), and advanced coronary artery disease (CAD, N = 9). The restenosis group and the advanced CAD group showed higher expression of Mac-1 and LFA-1 on monocytes and neutrophils compared to the other groups. Using the pre-procedural expression levels, patients with restenosis could be predicted by discriminant analysis with CD11a, CD11b, and CD18 (average recognition index = 95.5%). CONCLUSIONS: The data of this pilot study indicate that pre-procedural activation status of CD11a and CD11b may play a role in the subsequent development of restenosis. Moreover, CD11a, CD11b, and CD18 may be helpful as indicators for the progression of CAD.

Catherine the Great Martyr

One of the best known and loved martyrs in Christian history, St. Catherine is the patron saint of thousands of Catherines, Ekaterinas, Katrinas, Katyas, and Kates the world over.  Enduring psychological pressure and threatened with physical torture, she fearlessly defended her new-found faith, drawing on the writings of the ancients to overcome the most learned philosophers and rhetoricians of her day in debate to prove the divinity of Jesus Christ, for Whom she ultimately gave up her life.

In this life from the menology of St. Demetrius of Rostov, St. Catherine stands as a model of purity, meekness, and courage for all who value their Christianity above all else, who strive to be ready always to give an answer to every man concerning their faith.

Preparing for a snowmobile trip
  • Risk exists outdoors whenever you're separated from other human beings or from the comforts of civilization, such as shelter. Trip length does not affect most risks.
  • The risks on short trips can be heightened because they aren't recognized.
  • Overconfidence puts even experienced riders at risk. Anyone can get lost or injured.
  • Without the means to contact someone or to get back, otherwise simple injuries, such as a simple fall over an unnoticed obstacle, can become life-threatening.
  • High-profile rescues have resulted from this short-sightedness, which assumes that everything will go right—an assumption you can't afford in the outdoors.

Whenever you go out, even for a short period:

  • Stop. Tell someone where you're going and when to expect you back.
  • Ask yourself:
    • How well do I know this area and its wildlife?
    • Could the terrain contain hidden drop-offs or obstacles concealed by soft snow?
    • How much fuel do I have?
    • Do I have extra food and water if I can't get back?
    • How will I get back if I'm lost, stranded, or injured?
    • Should I go into new terrain for the first time without more careful planning?
  • Be safe and smart: always tell someone when you go out, and always take a buddy.
  • Wear your helmet.

My self-summary
Hey, I'm José. First of all, I love music. I go to basically every concert that comes to town, which are a lot since I live in one of the biggest cities in the world. I love to play guitar, I've been doing it since I was a little kid.

I'm a happy person and even when things are not alright, I always find something that makes me stay happy.

I also enjoy sports, watching them, as long as they're football, NFL kind of football not soccer, unless it's a finale or the World Cup.

I love movies and TV series, I'm not much of a horror movie type of person but I like to get spooked once in a while.
What I’m doing with my life
I study an engineering in technology.
I’m really good at
Dancing. With a partner. My girl friends always want me to dance with them because according to them, I'm the only guy they know who can really dance.
And procrastinating.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm easy to hang out with.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
My favorite movies are V for Vendetta, Stand By Me and the Green Mile.

My favorite band is Beirut but I also love Miike Snow and the Jezabels. My Chemical Romance, 30 Seconds to Mars, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Killers and Kings of Leon are also up there. My all time favorite is Led Zeppelin, but I love few bands like I do with Cafe Tacuba. I could go on and on talking about music so you better send me a message if you want to chat.

My favorite food by the way are tacos de canasta and tamales.
Six things I could never do without

  • Type 2 Diabetes in children

     Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder resulting from the body's inability to properly use or produce enough insulin. It’s a chronic disease with no known cure. Being overweight is closely tied to the development of type 2 diabetes. Overweight children have an increased likelihood of insulin problems. As the body struggles to regulate insulin, high blood sugar leads to a number of potentially serious health problems.

  • Type 2 Diabetes in children

     In general, kids with type 2 diabetes need to: eat a healthy, balanced diet and follow a meal plan, get regular exercise, take medications as prescribed, monitor blood sugar levels regularly. kids with type 2 diabetes switch to healthier habits is a key part of treatment. Scientists have found that certain fat cells are metabolically active and secrete chemicals that raise inflammation levels in the body and contribute to increased fat in the liver, which is a risk factor for insulin resistance  a precursor to type 2 diabetes.

  • Type 2 Diabetes in children

     In 2010, the crude incidence rate of type 2 diabetes was 515 per 100,000 population. The overall SIR increased to 158 (95% CI 157-160, p < 0.001), 237 (235-238, p < 0.001) and 275 (273-276, p < 0.001) for 1996-2000, 2001-2005 and 2006-2010, respectively. The incidence of type 2 diabetes was higher for males after the age of 40 and higher for females aged ≤40.

When you’re not field hunting for ducks and geese, chances are you’re going to have to hit some public land to chase waterfowl. As we all know from experience, hunting on public land and water has its challenges as well as its rewards.

Here are some tips to finding repeated success when hunting public land.

Scout, scout, and scout some more

Any waterfowler that has been at it for any length of time knows that you need to be where the birds want to be. This means scouting and you’re going to do this before the season, during the season and after the season closes. For most of us, it’s one of the enjoyable parts of hunting.

There are lots of tools available for scouting. Trimble GPS TOPO Maps latest software for use with your smartphone is a very cool tool for having highly-detailed maps at your disposal. I have learned in my experience that having access to a good map is vital to scouting success. A topographic map shows those elevation changes that affect the wind and, therefore, the flyways.

Part of scouting is experience too. Knowing historically where birds have flown is a great piece of knowledge to have, especially if you’re hunting a public-land blind. Many of the public-land duck blinds across the country are on a first-come, first-served basis. Get there early and get the spot you want. Don’t be afraid to try something new, too. You may find that new location that will hunt well for you.

Be flexible

Being flexible could very well be the most important thing about hunting public land. You’re not going to have total control over what others do, and you have to keep in mind that public land is open to everyone.

Several years ago, I went out for the duck opener with a buddy of mine. We were headed to a lake that we knew to be excellent for ducks and with many great spots; it was just going to be an epic opening day. On the way there, however, life took a little turn when a deer decided to assault the truck’s bumper, fender, and a few other expensive parts. Fixing the truck and making things road-worthy again took valuable time off the clock. When we arrived at our “top-secret” lake, there was a heck of a traffic jam on the boat launch. Coupled with thicker-than-whale-snot fog, and our day was going to be shot, right?

Well, no, actually. Yeah, all the top spots were taken, so we pulled into a marshy area just a few hundred yards off the launch that opened up further in. We had scouted this lake a ton and hunted it many times, so we knew of the open marsh area. We hadn’t hunted it before, but we knew it was there. It wasn’t easy getting back in there, but with at least 20 other boats out hunting the waterway, we had no other choice. It turned out being flexible was a good move. Not only did we have ducks work our decoys and give us good shooting, but also as ducks sped away from other hunters, they often came right to our new honey-hole. A bad day turned into a day of taking a full limit of puddle ducks.

Have a backup plan. Be open to trying a new spot and scout new spots just in case you have to make a quick, on-the-fly change in plans. Be open to hunting with others, if that situation arises.

Off the beaten path

What lengths would you go to when it comes to finding a new place to hunt? For most of us, it isn’t a matter of would you go but when.

A few years ago, we found a lake that was holding great numbers of divers. The problem was, we weren’t the only ones who knew this. In fact, at least three other hunters in the area knew of the lake and the diver bounty it held. One of the other hunters lived much closer to the lake and we began a friendly competition of who could get on the lake and to the only real hunting spot earlier. We’d often hunt together or just take our licks and keep on rolling, but I kept looking for other options.

Those options came in the form of a string of smaller ponds tucked back deep in the state-forest land behind the main lake. Getting back into them wasn’t an easy prospect. In fact, it would easily take an extra hour or more—but what we found was a discrete hunting opportunity to get at some of those same birds. It didn’t take long for the other hunter to figure out where we were going, so I decided to share the find with him and now we alternate.

Sometimes the best option when hunting public land is to look for that out-of-the-way location and have a go at it. It might take extra work and you might not have the bounty of shooting that you might have wanted, but I guarantee a rewarding hunt.

Do the unexpected

If you hunt public land and aren’t the only one out hunting, you need to stand out from the others—but in a good way. Watch what the other hunters do. Good binoculars are vital. Know what they are setting up and have a different look to your spread. Have a few different decoys in your spread than they do. If they run a motorized decoy, then maybe you shouldn’t, and vice versa. Have something new to add to your spread. The other day, I added a few snow geese to my floaters, just to have something different and it worked. Vary your calling techniques too.

One thing hunters in my home state have noticed is that the waterfowl seasons overlap the firearm deer seasons. For most, this means that time is wasted because they won’t hunt ducks when they can hunt deer. I think it’s a great time to go hunting for ducks, myself. In fact, I’m yet to see another duck hunter while I’ve been out during deer season. Now, I’m not saying you should go running out into an area that has heavy deer hunter traffic and set up your decoys. Play it safe. Coming back home after a hunt is way more important.

If you do things other won’t expect, scout new locations, be flexible in your set up and locations and go places other won’t, you’re bound to have an amazing hunt and a great story to tell. Isn’t that worth it?

  • Awful
    Verified Purchase

    I wanted to love this. I really did. I hesitated to purchase this because of the horrible reviews, but took a chance anyway because of the price. Upon receiving it and taking it out of the packaging, I was impressed because the metal is perfect for my Tuscan kitchen. First, the main shelf is not the shade of wood pictured. It's actually a dark cherry looking shade, which was fine with me because that's what I was looking for. Secondly, the directions are horrible. You can barely read them. Luckily, I'm good at putting things together, but it was pretty much trial and error because the directions were impossible. The hex driver provided to assemble it did not fit the hardware provided. It was too large. Luckily, I own my own set of hex drivers and found one more fitting. Many of the predrilled holes were not measured properly or were missing altogether. Since we're talking about metal, it's not exactly possible for you to drill your own. 3 of the holes on my piece are not drilled properly and I couldn't attach them. One predrilled hole was missing entirely. I e-mailed customer service. The main shelf is completely unlevel. The stabilizing plates where you attach the wood shelf to the metal are uneven. There is a noticeable slant to the shelf. I gave this piece 2 stars ONLY because had the manufacturer actually provided legible instructions and predrilled their holes properly, it would be a beautiful piece. It's the perfect size for my small apartment kitchen and I love the copper and detail. Unfortunately, however, it's only 75% assembled due to manufacturer's mistakes and carelessness. Don't waste your money or time. I should have heeded the warnings in the reviews I read.

  • don't waste your money

    it was not just that the product was different that what is pictured. their customer service was so rude to me, i was speechless. i was told that they knew the picture was different. that's the only one they make and that i should deal with it. and then they pretty much hung up on me when i said they wasted my time for purchasing this product. nothing against overstock, but this manufacturer is horrible. it is a company called old dutch out of NJ according to my paperwork. also, if you do go ahead and purchse this, the asseembly instructtions are pretty bad too.

    I purchased this rack for my kitchen as a space saver and was EXTREMELY disappointed. First, It was very difficult to put together - the directions were a copy and very difficult to read and none of the holes lined up. Second, it was very flimsy and cheap looking. It was wobbly, the large shelf was chipped and none of the pieces lined up properly so there were gaps. I would not recommend this to anyone, I expected a much better piece for the price.

    We finally received this product after it sat in the UPS office for a week....only to find some parts missing needed to assemble it. After contacting customer service, found out this had happened before and they credited us with some money back so my husband went to the hardware store to buy some parts that would work. After it was assembled, I am happy with it as it fulfills our needs perfectly. Is it copper like I ordered? Not that I can tell, looks black...but maybe it is a little like oil rubbed bronze which is what we had on our faucets anyway.

      I am an Overstock junkie and the first one to admit it. I give Overstock a lot of business, so it disappoints me to have to leave a negative review on the item most recently purchased from them. These nightstands are not even worth the money they charge which I thought was rather reasonable. The corners are all damaged just from shipping. The cartons weigh a ton and the cardboard does not support the weight of the package. They are not worth the shipping costs to send them back. Once constructed they look ok, but not intended for heavy use. I can tell these nightstands and the matching 6 drawer dressers will be in the trash soon.

      Well, I have now purchased three of these and the first couple are starting to show their age -- the manufacturer covered the particleboard with a paper-based material that is NOT waterproof and does not adhere well to the drawer fronts -- so after a little use, the paper starts to come up on the inside of the drawer fronts. For the money, they are good looking and can really spruce up a room -- as long as it is a guest room and doesn't get much use. If they could have painted the white covering, it would have added value and use!

Coconut Waikiki Hotel 3.0

Waikiki, Honolulu, Oahu

Enter Dates for Best Prices
This hotel has undergone significant renovations since our visit.
We will update our photos and review as soon as we can.

Review Summary

Photos and Review by

  • Tiny pool
  • 10- to 15-minute walk to the beach
  • No on-site restaurant or room service
  • Limited equipment in fitness center

Bottom Line

Renovated in 2008, this quiet, 81-room hotel is priced like a budget chain, but styled like a boutique. Its large rooms, great beds, and funky style rivals Hotel Renew, though the small pool and 10-minute walk to the beach are drawbacks.

Oyster Awards

Oyster Hotel Photos

Oyster Hotel Review

Fun design; modern features; great freebies -- it's more boutique than anything else, but also a long walk from the beach

The Coconut Waikiki's modern, Wi-Fi-equipped lobby

This cute, 81-room chain link offers a lot in the way of style. The funky, modern, key-lime-pie-colored lobby feels more like something you'd find in South Beach than just outside Waikiki's center.

Like Hotel Renew, the Coconut Waikiki (which officially became a member of the Joie De Vivre hotel chain in December 2012) is one of an increasing number of newer, more stylish value hotels that have been seducing guests away from the polyester bed coverlets and busy floral carpets so ubiquitous in Waikiki hotels. All rooms (and the entire hotel) were renovated during the summer of 2008 and feature incredibly comfortable beds and 40- or 42-inch flat-screen TVs.

There are few features -- just a splash-size, kidney-shaped pool and a bright fitness center -- and the beach is a 10- to 15-minute walk away (similar to many budget hotels). To make up for this, the hotel offers some notable perks, such as free, speedy Wi-Fi, free coffee and tea in the lobby, free beach towel rentals, and a gas grill on the patio for guests to use. The hotel no longer offers free breakfast, however.

Given all this, the Coconut Waikiki can be excellent for couples seeking a low-key getaway that's stylishly on par with Hotel Renew -- though the latter has much smaller standard rooms. It's also comparable in room size and amenities to Aqua's Waikiki Pearl (though the latter has no pool, gym, or concierge and noisier rooms).

Personal, though limited, service

It's not hard to find a smile behind the front desk, though the overall services offered are limited and fairly comparable to other budget properties.

  • Porter service
  • Dedicated concierge armed with plenty of maps and helpful opinions
  • Pricey fee for valet parking
  • Free daily newspaper
  • Drycleaning and laundry services available
  • No poolside drink service; towels provided at the pool
  • No room service

A quiet street near Waikiki's northern border; 10-minute walk to the beach

Map of Coconut Waikiki Hotel

Tucked among other small boutiques, condominium complexes, and older budget properties, the Coconut Waikiki is in the lower-profile northern border section of Waikiki, a good 10-minute walk from the beach and Kalakaua Ave, Hawaii's main drag. Situated alongside the Ala Wai Canal on Lewers Street, the immediate area around the Coconut Waikiki is much quieter and more isolated than hotels on Kuhio Avenue, just a block away. But safety shouldn't be an issue.

  • Ala Wai Canal is a great place for a morning run or for watching the canoes during morning practices.
  • Nearby Kuhio Avenue offers convenience stores, souvenir shops and Waikiki's only pharmacy.
  • Three blocks from Waikiki's main drag, Kalakaua Avenue, a touristy milelong stretch of shops, restaurants, and high-rise hotels
  • Four blocks from the outdoor International Marketplace, filled with souvenir stands
  • Cheap and easy to get around Waikiki via "The Bus" ($2.25 per person to go any distance)
  • Honolulu International Airport is a 20-minute, $35 cab ride.

Three blocks from the heart of the action on one of the world's most famous beaches

The Coconut Waikiki is an easy, and colorful, 10-minute walk, or three blocks, from Waikiki Beach.

Loosely speaking, the entire 1.5-mile stretch of sand alongside Kalakaua Avenue is known as Waikiki Beach. In reality, it's more like three separate beaches, the borders of which vary depending on whom you ask. The Coconut Waikiki is located three blocks from the section called Queen's Beach, which is the part you see on postcards of Waikiki: manicured, palm tree-dotted lawns leading to a sunny white-sand beach. Children splash about in the shallow water near the shore, while surfers and standup paddle-boarders (the rad new thing to do) patrol the outer waters.

To summarize Queen's Beach in one word: packed. Packed with energy, packed with activity, packed -- most significantly -- with people. Towels carpet the sand like blankets at a sold-out concert. Families with small children, honeymooning couples, even locals taking lunch breaks -- they all merge here, sunning, swimming, and sandcastle-building, all the while doing their best not to kick sand in each other's faces.

  • Public beach
  • Warm, shallow water -- a decent place to swim, especially for kids
  • Sandy, not rocky, ocean bottom -- unlike neighboring Fort DeRussy to the west and Kuhio (aka "the wall") to the east
  • Lifeguards monitor the beach throughout the day
  • Free towels, provided by the hotel
  • Umbrellas and lounge chairs must be rented from one of the many Star Beach Boys stands
  • Water sports equipment, like surfboards and boogie boards, available for rental at Star Beach Boys stands

Exceptionally clean and modern rooms -- all renovated in 2008

Ikea meets Art Deco in the City View Room.

Rooms exude the same easy-spirited modern feel as the lobby, a kind of Ikea-does-Art-Deco look. Standards rooms are fairly spacious, beds are notably more comfortable than at some other budget hotels, and the location on the Ala Wai Canal means they're often quieter. Rooms are comparable in size to those at the Aqua Waikiki Pearl, though the latter's are a bit noisier.

  • Standard rooms are 400 square feet and have either two double beds or one king size -- much larger than both Hotel Renew's 280-square-foot standard or the Courtyard Waikiki's 320-square-foot room.
  • Suites are funky, with details like a spacious private sundeck or a sky light above a giant soaking tub.
  • Comfortable beds have Simmons Felicity pillow-tops
  • Large, 40- or 42-inch Samsung flat-screen TVs come with cable -- including HBO -- and pay-per-view rentals (about $14 each)
  • Microwaves and coffeemakers with free Kona coffee; some rooms have mini-fridges
  • Clean baths with a full bathtub
  • Most rooms have small, furnished balconies
  • Free in-room Wi-Fi; free safe

A decent number of amenities for the price -- and they're all brand new

The pool area is better for sunning than swimming.

Everything is still sparkling at the Coconut Waikiki, a big step up from most other similarly priced Waikiki hotels. Plus, you get more amenities than usual.

  • Small "splash" pool (not big enough for real swimming) with tiled pool deck and lounge chairs
  • Bright, updated, though small, fitness center with just a few cardio machines and weights
  • Free business center in lobby with two PCs
  • Free Wi-Fi in rooms and lobby
  • Free Thursday evening cocotini cocktail reception with appetizers and Nintendo Wii

A good, but not great, family choice

Suites include a full-size pullout sofa

For a fairly mellow, budget-minded family with kids who can entertain themselves, the Coconut Waikiki is not a bad choice given the large rooms and inexpensive rates. But the lack of kid-focused activities and the 10-minute hike to the beach are drawbacks.

  • Small pool (up to 6 feet deep)
  • No organized activities; not much for kids to do on-site
  • At least a 10-minute walk to the beach -- or longer, with young children
  • Suites include full-size pullout sofa beds.
  • Rollaway beds require an additional nightly fee, but cribs are free (on a first come, first served basis).

Impeccably clean

Renovated in 2008, the Coconut Waikiki still looks new.

No restaurant, but plenty of nearby options

Tons of eateries -- from casual to upscale -- are within walking distance.

  • Plenty of chain eateries on Kuhio Avenue, a block away
  • Upscale and chain eateries are three blocks away on Kalakaua Avenue.
  • Each room has a microwave; some have mini-fridges
  • Guests can use the gas grill on the pool deck; grilling utensils available at the front desk
  • Convenience stores and supermarkets within two blocks

Honorable Immigrants: World War II

I recently wrote and published a post about immigrants from World War I who served in the United States military and were awarded the prestigious Medal of Honor. You can read it here.

It really moves me that a person who was born in another country would give so much loyalty to the United States, but they did.

In today’s post, I am going to share the immigrants who fought in World War II and were given the Medal of Honor.

World War II Medal of Honor Immigrants

Chief Watertender Peter Tomich: United States Navy (1893-1941)

He was born in what is now Herzegovina and was Austria-Hungary. Peter, whose Croatian name was Petar Herceg Tonić, was aboard the USS Utah when it was docked at Pearl Harbor. When the first torpedo hit, Peter volunteered to work the boilers below deck so the other sailors could escape. He gave his life doing so.

Captain Jose Calugas: United States Army (1907-1998)

Jose was born in the Philippines. It was also in the Philippines that Jose performed the act that attained him the Medal of Honor.

When Jose was 23 years old, he joined the Philippine Scouts of the U.S. Army. When World War II broke out, Jose was the mess sergeant at Bataan. Jose noticed 1 gun not firing so he sprinted to it. Discovering the soldiers had been killed, he grabbed volunteers and held the Japanese forces back while other soldiers dug in.

Final Thoughts

It just amazes me what these immigrants did for us. Many of them really did not have to go to the extent that they did, but they did for the love of the United States of America.

We owe them our gratitude, so will you give all these soldiers a minute of silence?
