Ellen Burstyn Stars on Political Animal

In “Political Animals,” the USA Network series event, Ellen Burstyn stars as Margaret Barrish, part of a Clinton-esque political clan. A straight-shooting, one-time Vegas showgirl, Margaret is the mother of Elaine Barrish Hammond (Sigourney Weaver), a former First Lady who subsequently divorces her philandering husband and is named Secretary of State. The six-part series premieres July 15. More.

Outdoor Fire Pits and Fireplaces

One thing I love about California is our mild summer evenings. It is perfect for an outdoor fire pit or fireplace. Fresh Home Ideas has some very cool examples that are perfect for hanging out with friends and family; drinking wine, roasting marshmellows. I especially like this modern gas fireplace.
