Tad LeVan, '95 Opens LeVan Law Group
LeVan Law Group Takes Boutique Approach In Making the Billable Hour Obsolete
(Philadelphia, PA) – A new Philadelphia law firm has opened based on an innovative industry model that eschews the billable hour in favor of flat fee and contingency arrangements: LeVan Law Group LLC is located on the 27th floor of One Logan Square at 18th & Cherry Streets, and can be reached at (215) 561-1500.
"The billable hour has long been the industry standard for high-stakes litigation matters," noted founder Peter H. "Tad" LeVan, Jr. "But the billable hour model is broken. It rewards delay and inefficiency, rather than the contrary, and it causes massive financial unpredictability for the client.
More troublingly, it places the economic interests of the attorney above the client, which is detrimental to creating a relationship that works best as a partnership."
LeVan has launched the firm that bears his name on the premise that clients are entitled to high-quality litigation and appellate services provided under predictable fee arrangements.The firm offers flat-fees and other alternative fee structures (including partial and full contingency fees, collared arrangements, and other non-traditional fees).
A trial and appellate attorney well known in the area of high-stakes litigation, LeVan was formerly a partner with Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check in Radnor, Pennsylvania, where he acted as lead counsel for the firm's "class of plans" securities lending litigation cases, representing some of the largest pension and retirement plans in the country against J.P. Morgan Chase and the Bank of New York Mellon. LeVan also acted as lead counsel in dozens of ERISA class actions brought against such Fortune 500 corporations as Ford, Merck, Schering-Plough, Bear Stearns, Lincoln Financial and Fifth-Third Bancorp, and was lead counsel for a class of upstate New York Taft-Hartley pension plans that suffered losses in connection with the Bernard Madoff fraud.
In 2012, LeVan settled a handful of novel ERISA matters for nearly $700 million, including: Board of Trustees of the AFTRA Retirement Fund, et al. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (S.D.N.Y.) -- $150 million settlement (court-appointed lead counsel); CompSource Oklahoma, et al. v. BNY Mellon, N.A., et al. (W.D. Ok.) -- $280 million settlement (court-appointed co-lead counsel); and In re Beacon Associates Litigation (S.D.N.Y.) -- $219 million settlement (court-appointed ERISA lead counsel). In addition to trial work, LeVan acted as lead appellate counsel for the firm's highest-profile ERISA matters, arguing important cases before the United States Courts of Appeals for the Second, Third and Sixth Circuits.
Prior to his work with Kessler Topaz, LeVan spent more than 10 years with Hangley Aronchick Segal & Pudlin, where he was a shareholder and an elected member of the firm's Board of Directors. While at Hangley, he first-chaired numerous jury and non-jury complex commercial litigation matters involving alleged breach of contract, patent infringement, non-compete agreements, theft of trade secrets, and breach of fiduciary duty, among others. He also represented then-Governor Rendell, Pennsylvania executive agencies, and the City of Philadelphia in several high-profile litigation matters involving alleged First Amendment retaliation, separation of power, constitutional authority, and agency rule-making.
LeVan has been recognized as a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer, is an Academy of Advocacy Fellow, and is a recipient of the Equal Justice Award given by Community Legal Services of Philadelphia in recognition of his commitment to public interest law. LeVan is a former federal law clerk and holds a J.D. from the University of Cincinnati College of Law.
LeVan is admitted to the bars of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York; the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Second, Third, Sixth and Federal Circuits; U.S. District Courts throughout the country and the Supreme Court of the United States.

Celebrating the Legacy of UC Law Graduate and Former Dean Samuel S. Wilson
The City of Cincinnati and the College of Law community lost a legend on June 25, 2014, when Dean Emeritus Samuel S. Wilson passed away at the age of 89.
A native Cincinnatian, Dean Wilson received his bachelor's degree from Princeton University in 1947. He returned to Cincinnati to work as a reporter for the Cincinnati Times-Star newspaper, and went on to serve as its Washington correspondent and associate editor of the editorial page. When the Times-Star was acquired by the Cincinnati Post in 1958, Dean Wilson enrolled in the University of Cincinnati College of Law and served as editor-in-chief of the Law Review. Graduating in 1961, he worked in private practice before returning to the law school as a member of the faculty in 1965.
Dean Wilson twice served as acting dean before serving a full term as dean (1974-1978). Among his accomplishments were the securing of the funding for the major renovation and expansion of the College's building and the development of clinical programs that provided practical experience for students while assisting people in need in the Cincinnati community. After his deanship, he returned to teaching and studying law until his retirement in 1993.
Dean Wilson was very active in a number of Cincinnati civic organizations, including serving on the board of the Legal Aid Society of Cincinnati. He and his wife Anne have been long-time supporters of the College of Law and particularly dedicated to its Law Review and the Domestic Violence Clinic. In recognition of his accomplishments at the law school and in the community, Dean Wilson received the Distinguished Alumni Award in 1994.
For many alumni of the College of Law, Dean Wilson is remembered as the personification of the lawyer, the professor, the professional, the law school – and even the law itself. Many also affectionately remember him as "Judge Paul Trevor" on WCPO's "Juvenile Court" – a television show that ran from 1975 to 1983 . While Dean Wilson had no prior acting experience, the program quickly established itself as the top-rated show in its time slot for nearly five years. Due to concerns over lawyer advertising, Dean Wilson's name never appeared in the credits and most fans thought he was a real judge.
The memorial service will be held on Friday, July 18, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. For more information about the service, as well as memorials, please review the obituary.
A View from the Other Side: Hilly McGahan'12 Talks About Working With Victims
An often-overlooked side of criminal law is that of the victims. The defendant hires or is appointed counsel, and the prosecution represents the state throughout the process, but the victims of crimes can find themselves left to their own devices on how to seek redress for the wrongs done to them. Hilly McGahan '12 is working to bolster the voice of victims in her work with victims of domestic violence.
McGahan grew up in Arlee, a small, picturesque town in western Montana on the Flathead Indian Reservation. Growing up, her parents were in the beekeeping business, and McGahan lived a rural, farming-style childhood. During the summers she and her family worked on the farm, but when the long, cold winters came they travelled south – not just to Arizona or California, but to Mexico, and sometimes further south into South America.
Inspired by her travels, McGahan studied political science and Spanish in her undergraduate years at the University of Montana. After graduating she spent a year working in northern Guatemala. There she worked to support persons who had witnessed the military massacres that took place there, as they were to soon testify against the government. McGahan's experiences in her travels sparked her interest in human rights law. As she looked at law schools, Cincinnati stood out because of the Urban Morgan Institute.
Having grown up in a rural lifestyle, Cincinnati was quite a change when she moved here for law school. "I really grew to love Cincinnati," she explained, though she admitted it took a while to adjust. Findlay Market was one of her favorite Queen City destinations, and she said that she and her (then) boyfriend (now husband) took advantage of the "Enjoy the Arts" program that included numerous shows and cultural events that take place around the City.
Today, McGahan works at SAFE Harbor back home in Montana. Formerly called DOVES, SAFE Harbor has a grant from the Office on Violence Against Women (part of the Department of Justice) to provide holistic legal services to victims of domestic violence on the Flathead Reservation and Lake County, Montana. "The grant allows us to provide legal services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking," she explained. Her work takes her to both state court and tribal court, and deals with tribal law, family law, and immigration law, as well as international law in some situations. While she is the only staff attorney, SAFE Harbor contracts with a supervising attorney, and the organization also has a domestic violence shelter and a "Men's Accountability Program" which provides court ordered services to men convicted of domestic violence related offences.
McGahan's background and experiences travelling inspired her to do the work she's doing today, but she also received inspiration from her time at the College of Law. She largely came to Cincinnati for the Urban Morgan Institute, and she was impressed with the program while she was there. "I really enjoyed the group of people I worked with on Human Rights Quarterly," she said. Further, she was impressed with the speakers that the Urban Morgan Institute brought in, noting that she was particularly impacted by Professor Michelle Alexander's (OSU's Moritz law school) lecture on The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness. McGahan also valued her experience with UC Law's Domestic Violence Clinic, which allowed her to represent clients in civil protection order hearings and to gain practical experience that prepared her for her current position.
When asked if she had any advice for students who may want to do similar work, she shared the following: "Get lots of practical experience in law school (as much as you can), working with clients, dealing with people from different backgrounds – these experiences are really invaluable. I think that focusing on what you are passionate about and on what sorts of communities you are interested in working with is important. Ultimately passion will take you where you want to go, and employers can see that when they interview you."
Giving Voice to the Voiceless: Carrie Wood Shares why she is a Public Defender
Formerly an Assistant Academic Director at the Ohio Innocence Project (OIP) here with UC College of Law, Carrie Wood '95 now works with the Ohio Public Defender in Columbus, Ohio.
Originally from Cincinnati, Wood studied engineering at Cornell University. Before coming to UC for her legal studies, she spent three years as a professional equestrian, training horses, teaching students, and helping to run a 60 horse farm. She had an interest in law school, however, and decided to return to Cincinnati to pursue her JD. Before starting school, though, she worked at Graydon Head for a year, giving her a birds-eye view of the profession she was about to enter.
Wood worked on several of the primary wrongful conviction cases in her three years at OIP. Some of the issues involved were mistaken eyewitness identification, "un-validated" or improper forensic science, and informants. "Although post-conviction DNA testing played a role in all of these cases, the causes of wrongful conviction do not go away if the case does not have evidence where DNA testing can help shed light on the identity of the perpetrator," she explained while noting that the demonstration of innocence without DNA can be more difficult. She said that the law students involved at OIP often work even harder in such cases, sharing that "it was a great experience for [her] as their supervisor to see the energy, drive, passion, and compassion the law students bring to their work on these cases."
Now working with the Ohio Public Defender, Wood is returning to the type work she did before joining the OIP. (She has prior experience as a public defender from her time working in the Bronx doing trial work.) She learned a lot from OIP regarding DNA, false confessions, "junk science," and some of the major flaws in the criminal justice system. "It has always been important to me to work to correct flaws in our criminal justice system," explained Wood, "and I saw the position at the Ohio Public Defender as an opportunity to continue and expand upon that work."
"In order to work as a public defender, you have to have a passion for it," she reflected, noting that the money is not much of an incentive. She explained that, the way she sees it, criminal defense attorneys and public defenders are not quite one in the same. "Some people do both – and do them well. However, my primary purpose in going to law school was to work on behalf of people who didn't have a voice or access to legal counsel." And this is what Carrie is able to do as a public defender. "It can be difficult and draining work, but it was always helpful for me to have supporters and mentors to turn to when I had a difficult case or a difficult week in court."
In her spare time, Wood still rides horses, and also hopes to run a marathon this year. Further, she has always had a passion for music, and admits she will miss the local music scene. "Cincinnati's larger music festivals are doing a great job of putting the city on the national music map; I will definitely be back in September to see the Afghan Whigs at Mid-point!"
Donnie Warner is Committed to Social Justice and Community Building
Graduate, community worker, and marathoner Donnie Warner has a strong commitment to social justice and community and personal transformation. With experiences that range from living on a Navajo reservation to training non-profit leaders through Public Allies Cincinnati to externing with the Indigent Defense Clinic, he will bring a distinctive viewpoint to the law.
Originally from Plymouth, Michigan, Donnie Warner is a member of the Class of 2014. He attended DePaul University in Chicago for his undergraduate studies, graduating with a degree in English. There he ran on the cross-country and track teams, captaining them both his senior year.
Following undergrad, Warner moved to Gallup, New Mexico to teach elementary school as a Teach For America Corps member. There he would meet his wife, Kayla; they then lived on a Navajo reservation in New Mexico for two years. When Warner learned that he had secured funding to pursue a master's degree, he moved to Cincinnati to study for a master's degree in creative writing (while teaching freshman English classes at the university). He then spent two years with Public Allies Cincinnati, a leadership development program committed to developing diverse leaders for leadership positions in nonprofits and communities. Warner explained his role there: "As a program manager with Public Allies Cincinnati, I provided one-on-one coaching to individuals in the program and developed tracking tools to chart our impact throughout the Cincinnati community." By the time he decided to pursue a law degree, he had become committed to his work and the community. Thus, UC was a logical choice for the school to attend.
"As someone who is committed to social justice work and community-building, what I like about Cincinnati is that it is the ideal size for developing new ideas and models for transformation," Warner explained about his affinity for the Queen City. He continued, "At the same time, the city is large enough to bring unique perspectives together to develop ideas." He added that he also has an appreciation for Skyline, Graeter's, the Reds, and other such things that are uniquely Cincinnati.
At the College of Law, Warner has been involved in several student organizations and programs, most notably the Freedom Center Journal (which he worked on for the past two years) and the Indigent Defense Clinic. "Through the Indigent Defense Clinic, I received fantastic training through the office of the Hamilton County Public Defender," said Warner of his experience. With the clinic, his work affirmed his desire to focus on legal work that ultimately helps low income people achieve their desired outcomes. "I came to learn these outcomes are not restricted to a single case, but extend to many areas of people's lives," he said in reflection.
Warner plans to stay in Cincinnati after graduation. He commented on his legal studies and experiences: "You have to stay humble. There is so much to learn, and I believe that new lawyers should spend a lot of time taking it all in, and then working incredibly hard to answer any questions that remain. Additionally, regarding criminal law, I am struck by what an honor it is to give a voice to a client who would otherwise be voiceless. With such an honor you must have a commitment to work as hard as you possibly can."
Warner shared that he has kept up with his running hobby, recently focusing on marathons. In fact, he finished second overall in the 2014 Flying Pig Marathon. And, he and his wife have created a blog called Run52, which tells their story of running through each of Cincinnati's 52 neighborhoods.
Jenna Washatka '12 and Professor Jim O'Reilly Combine Efforts to Support Creation of Land Bank
For many people July 13, 2011 was a historic day in Hamilton County with the front-page Cincinnati Enquirer coverage of the official creation of the first public land bank in southern Ohio. UC Law student Jenna Washatka '12 and Professor Jim O'Reilly had an important had in its development.
Blighted properties that are virtually abandoned and out of the commercial market can be acquired by the new county entity and "banked" until redevelopment possibilities allow the property to be redeveloped or the house to be resold. During the interim the land bank preserves the value of the property, if any, and supervises the removal of weeds and junk.
Rising 3L Washatka took on this independent research project, interviewed the leaders and lawyers behind the concept, and prepared a lengthy analysis for the First Suburbs Consortium. Her paper was distributed to the appropriate county officials and the county treasurer as the legal basis for adopting the pioneering concept. Professor O'Reilly testified at the county hearing in support and offered Washatka's findings to county officials. This month's adoption is the culmination of the work of public officials, nongovernmental organizations, and Washatka's outstanding efforts.
Congratulations to all!
Alicia Miller Turned an Interest in Social Justice into a Career as a Public Defender
Having grown up near Cincinnati in West Chester, Ohio, Alicia Miller '14 is a home grown Bearcat in this year's graduating class. A graduate of Lakota West High School, she earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology from The Ohio State University. After her undergraduate years, she spent some time handling broken automobile glass insurance claims with Safelite Solutions. It was during this time that she prepared for the LSAT and law school applications.
"I decided to come to UC Law to work with the Center for Race, Gender, and Social Justice," said Miller, adding that UC's great value and proximity to friends and family were also factors contributing to her decision. Upon arriving, she found she made the right choice, noting the outstanding dedication of the faculty and staff at the college and the support, guidance, and mentoring she has benefitted from.
Miller has been tremendously involved in her three years of law school. She externed with the Ohio Justice & Policy Center where she researched the "school-to-prison pipeline" and worked with Cincinnati residents, helping them expunge and seal criminal records. She conducted research on the issue of food deserts in Cincinnati in another externship with the Center for Closing the Health Gap. Then, she has the opportunity to represent indigent clients while she externed with the Kentucky Department of Public Advocacy. Finally, Miller has been involved with numerous student organizations, including Advocates for Children, the Black Law Student Association, the Freedom Center Journal, and the Law Democrats.
Upon graduation, Miller will be working with the Marion County Public Defender Agency in Indianapolis – first as a post-graduate intern. She will transition to working on misdemeanor cases when she receives her positive bar results. "I hope to expand into juvenile criminal defense, as well as adult felonies," she shared. "After getting experience in those areas I hope to direct a public defender's office someday and positively shape the way that indigent criminal defense is administered in my jurisdiction."
In reflection on her law school experience and chosen career path, she shared the following: "My advice to those who may be interested in criminal defense is to trust that things will work out and not to let financial constraints keep you from pursuing your dreams. Find mentors within the criminal defense realm who will ensure that you get every opportunity to become a better advocate for clients." Miller has found that UC Law has provided her with these mentors, and has propelled her towards her dreams. "I feel incredibly blessed to have found what I hope to spend the rest of my career doing."

Fall on the Front Porch
Joyously welcoming the Fall season filled with Autumn colors and smells of sweet cinnamon and pumpkin.
Happy Fall from our home to yours
August 11, 2014
Country Dairy's and a Long Awaited Hand Me Down
On Saturday we took a little joy ride through some country we have never been through before. Idaho has a ton of countryside farms and dairy's so it is a lot of fun to roll the windows down on a cool evening and go for a relaxing drive. The smells of the fresh cut hay, the alfalfa, and the Russian Olive trees are amazing. We get to see so many neat birds and occasionally a fox or coyote. What I really love though is the old barns and houses that are left behind by early settlers. There aren't many left, but when we find one, I can't resist a picture or two.
My Mother has a few prized antique pieces in her house that were scouted from my Grandmother's basement when she passed away. She has had this washboard sitting in her laundry room for years. I have secretly had my eye on it for just as long, patiently waiting for the day she decided to pass it to me.
She and my Dad just decided it was time to move to a smaller home and so she was cleaning out and the blessed day came. I got the washboard! It was in bad shape when I received it. Both sides were broken in half and held together with masking tape. The wood was very dry and had paint spilled on it.
I fixed the sides with Gorilla Glue, hydrated the wood with Coconut Oil, and used a putty knife to carefully remove the paint and soap scum. It is now absolutely beautiful.
Along with the washboard came an unopened mint condition box of starch. I think it is so cool that Grandma saved this stuff for so long. She had no idea of it's value later on. She was just saving stuff because it was what she was taught to do in the depression. It's like me saving a bottle of liquid Tide for 50 years.
Things have been quite interesting around here this summer. I still feel like I am living in a dream and soon I will wake up to the day it was before Oldest was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.
But, it never happens and life goes on. I have the pictures to prove life has been happening. I have blog posts of our family adventures this summer. School is starting in a couple of weeks so I know time has been moving. I just feel so disconnected from it all.
I am thankful for the camera lens. So I can go back and remember all the fun times we have had.

Old Photos of Old Houses
I was organizing some old photos from last year and realized I had never shared a few of the old houses I found while driving into Wyoming. These homesteads have been abandoned, but are still owned by someone who has the property. The roof has been restored on one of the homes, but that's ok, the logs are still really pretty.
Next week I am taking a drive through the Bear Lake valley and there are a couple of really neat homes I have my eye on. I can't wait to pull over and get my camera on them.

Mystery Solved and Some Cute Ideas
I felt a little guilty uncovering something someone so painstakingly tried to cover up. Obviously they liked the idea of this box for storage, but thought it was ugly. Ironically, the wall paper was just the thing to perfectly preserve all that was underneath. 85.5 years ago this kind of box was just as normal to a person as probably a Rubbermaid tote is to us. It just wasn't neat or beautiful then. But now, its so rare and the wood is really pretty.
I had to take a wet dish cloth and set in on top of the paper and wood to soak a bit. Then I had a plastic putty knife and scraped it all off. I'll tell you, paper and wood that old really stinks too:{ I almost wondered if it was worth it at times.
So Amy's guess was dead on. What's really funny is that I got a call from my Brother who is a lawyer in Nevada saying he's working on a case right now that has to do with this Hercules stuff.
So, I need to clean it up and preserve the wood nicely. Any ideas on what product would do this?
I saw this idea on Pinterest (of course) and just knew the girls would love to have their food on plates like this. I found some nice plates at GW and headed to the JoAnne's for some pens that would work on ceramic.
The sales lady directed me to a section of oil based Sharpie pens where I found these Painters markers. I got them home and started reading and realize they are acrylic paint pens. I started to panic because I know acrylic will scratch right off ceramic if I use my nails and it will wash off too. But, the packaging says non-toxic and permanent so I go ahead and try anyway. After the designs were on, I put them in my cold oven and heated it up to 350 degrees and let them bake for 30 min like all the websites say to. After they were cooled, I tried to scratch it off and then washed it in soapy water. Wala, it worked. Acrylic paint is permanent on ceramic if you bake it.
I also saw this idea on Pinterest (
) and died because it was so cute. Baby loves games (and also often cheats to win them). This dice game is perfect for a preschooler. I made the older two one as well, just because they might enjoy playing with her.
I made baby a kitty cat because more often than not, she's dressed like one around here.
I was right, the game was a hit. She sat still and played for 45 minutes by herself no less. Gasp! A miracle of small proportions.
I am taking them to church for her tomorrow:)
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment. I really enjoy all my blogging friends and being able to share things with you. It's so nice for this SAHM:)
Have a great weekend.

Mystery Box
I acquired this box from my mother a few years ago. She picked it up out of my Grandmother's house, along with a few other very old things, when she passed away. Grandma never threw anything away and re purposed just about everything you can imagine.
What originally caught my eye was the dove tailing on the sides. Most of the box was entirely covered in this tan paper when the box was handed over to me. It thought it looked cool and original so I left it that way.
Last night there was a bit of sun shining on the floor next to the box so I sat in it to take a quiet moment. I began to really study the box and realized that this tan paper used to be wallpaper. It was badly water and sun damaged and I could barely make out a design in the paper. I am guessing Grandma or maybe even Great Grandma had taken this old box and covered it with pretty paper to use it in the house. I have often wondered what was underneath it all, so after three years, I began the process of uncovering the mystery.
So, I am taking guesses on what the box was used for and what all the wording underneath is. I have my guess. What's yours? It will take me a couple of days to uncover it. I am being extra careful not to damage the wood. I will show you all when I am done.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend.

Raspberry Jam
Somewhere between Simple Mind's "Don't you forget about me" and 311's "Love Song" this deliciousness happened. Hubby and I spent time in the kitchen listening to awesome 80's alternative music and mixing a batch of homemade raspberry jam this evening.
I am not sure what's sweeter. Spending time like that in the kitchen with your DH or the 'oh' so yummy raspberry jam.
OK, just kidding, I know what's sweeter (wink wink).
Just when you think things couldn't get any better, my awesome husband pulls out the mixer and the cast iron and bakes homemade bread to go with it. Heaven....truly:)
Have a wonderful weekend.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Estwing's 16 0unce Straight Claw Hammer having Leather Grip features a sturdy, one piece forged steel construction measuring just over 12 inches in length which meets ASME industry standards for the product. While this little workhorse of a striking tool is not crafted by either Stanley or Craftsman, my own personal preference when buying tools; it is one dandy hammer. The Estwing patented all steel head and handle are forged in one piece to create excellent stability and resilience. I find negligible maintenance is necessary to keep the hammer in tip top condition; I wipe the head and handle with a lightly oiled rag at the end of tasking session. Dad did, I do. Handle grip is constructed using sole leather washers pressed on and riveted. I wondered how the handles were made, nifty. Grip is polished and double lacquered. In his tool box Daddy had a hammer having a leather handle, I loved it. I found this Estwing Straight Claw Hammer laying in a box at the local jumble shop, and put it right in my basket for purchase. While I do not do construction per se or much remodel, my farmer Daddy did, he first remodeled then added onto the house which was my childhood home. While I do have a, suits me, collection of curved and straight claws, I did not have one having a leather handle. My Estwing, leather handle hammer feels good in my hand, it is rock-solid, stable, and proves multipurpose as I tackle smallish tasks around the house, barn and in the yard. I like the sturdy feel and balance of this particular hammer as I attack simple repairs requiring a little more heft than is found in my smaller 7 ounce tapping hammer. Whatever the hand tool; at the end of a prolonged task session, I always have some arm and hand exhaustion and hand cramping to the arthritis in my hands. That is not a fault of the tool, it is my own physical condition. My Estwing claw hammer was not new when I purchased it nearly 3 years ago, it was in lovely condition, the leather grip is first-rate, provides non slip grasp and feels good as I use the hammer, I like the one-piece forged head through handle construction designed to help diminish spring back and shock. I have had my Estwing's 16 0unce, steel construction, Straight Claw Hammer having Leather Grip long enough to call it heavy-duty, easy to use, comfy in my hand and likely is going to outlast me. Happy to recommend Estwing's 16 0unce Straight Claw Hammer having Leather Grip.======================== MORE ESTWING ============================== American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional association endorsing progress in engineering, together with professional growth, development, education, and engineering safety =========================== Reviewed by Molly's Reviews molly martin =========================== For more information and details please check the SEE IT Button and Vendor Links =========================== From internet search including the Estwing site: initiated in 1923 by Ernest O Estwing, Estwing Manufacturing, was founded immigrant Ernest O.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Editors' note: 10/9/2006 The SanDisk e200R Rhapsody was not supported by the iM510 when this review was written. The latest firmware update makes the e200R compatible with the iM510s.
Stand back, iPod! There's a third-party portable speaker system that's not made for the iPod. Altec Lansing's Made for Sansa inMotion iM510 speaker set is designed for the SanDisk Sansa e200 and c200 series of MP3 players. Altec Lansing has been paying attention to SanDisk's rapid rise to number two in sales--far behind Apple--and will certainly get a piece of the Sansa accessories pie with this compact and good-sounding speaker set ($120). And its few weaknesses won't spoil the party.
Measuring 8.4 by 2.1 by 3.8 inches when closed and weighing just over a pound without batteries, the mostly black, contoured, box-shaped speakers are compact enough to stow away in a mostly full backpack. They aren't waif-thin like the iM500 set, which are specifically made for the iPod Nano, but the battery- and AC-powered set travels well (a soft case with extra pockets is included).
Pressing the button located between the four drivers (two on each side) pops open the Sansa player dock. No Nakamichi smoothness here, it just snaps out. The proprietary dock connector will work with Sansa e200 and c200 players (those with older players will want to update to the latest firmware). The new Sansa e200R Rhapsody will also work with the speakers. All other devices can be connected via the line-in jack on the backside (standard cable included).
Before you dock your Sansa, you need to attach to the speakers a model-specific spacer (two are provided) that keep the player sturdy. Though we recommend using them, they can be a pain when you're mobile, as it's an extra piece you need to account for. I also don't like how the dock too easily pops open with some pressure on the backside.

A United Airlines flight was diverted to DIA this evening after a passenger tried to open an exit door mid-flight. United Flight 223 from Dulles was heading to Las Vegas when it was diverted around 4:45 p.m. That's when authorities say the man tried to open the door. The plane safely landed in Denver just after 5 tonight. The suspect was escorted off the plane by Denver Police, and is being questioned by the FBI. We'll bring you more information as we get it.

I've created an NSIS installer that installs a certain program. Everything works fine but I wonder if it is possible to abort the installation when it runs in silent mode.
So is there a way to abort an installation when I install an NSIS installer via the command line with this command: installer.exe /S /D=Path/To/Directory
I tried to abort it via CTRL+C as it works for other programs, too, but that didn't work.

"Crabs live in the oceans where tides rise and fall in the level of the seas. These places are considered as the most changeable and dynamic ones on the globe."
Some mysteries around the fourth sign of the Zodiac – Cancer
With the symbol of the Crab, it is believed that a Cancerian's characteristics are somewhat similar to her symbol. Crabs live in the oceans where tides rise and fall in the level of the seas. These places are considered as the most changeable and dynamic ones on the globe. By virtue of this, these crabs have always developed their hard outer shells for protection. Similarly, people who belong to Cancer are often cautious about everything around them. Therefore, it is not simple to make best friends with them.
A Cancerian is an extremely faithful and devoted person. In a relationship, she always tries her best to maintain and grow her love affair. She is able to make her partner feel safe and comfortable. When her romance has some signals of the rift, it is sure that she will find any positive ways to heal it. She is not afraid to protect her soulmate as well as her family from some unwanted dangers.
Daily Horoscope for Cancer
About foods
Never forget to spend more time in attending to your health, dear Cancer! Today, she can be getting in trouble with the sniffles. Some nutritious foods such as casseroles, soups and desserts will be some exciting choice for her without putting too much stress on her digestive tract. Don't hesitate to season her foods with garlic or ginger. These extra flavors are good for her immune system.
About her appearance
She needs a face cream to hide the dark ring around her eyes. Perhaps she worked overtime last night. However, the best thing to own the perfect look is that she should get an extra hour of sleep every night. Here is the tip, just for her: instead of doing at her house, she should finish all of the works in her company. She will have more time to take care of herself.

Wanna take your binders and folders to a whole new level? Grab some paper and decorative accents and get to work!
How we did it: We turned the front of our binder into a grid of squares, then cut and pasted different colored paper on top. We used Sharpie markers to create designs on the squares, and to write messages on the front. Glitter pens filled in our bubble letters and dab of glue on the back of some rhinestones gave us some sparkle. Add some ribbon tied into a bow, and you've got a binder you'll be proudly toting to first period!
More great ideas: Try cutting out and collaging images and words from your favorite magazine (um, GL!). Look for things that inspire you to perform well and achieve your goals. Talk about girl power!
So-chic book cover
Who wants a planner that looks like everyone elses? We took 10 minutes to turn our organizer into a work of art.
How we did it: We found some fun pink polka-dotted fabric at a craft store. Then we laid our open book flat over the fabric, cover against the wrong side of the print, and began wrapping it just like we would a present, neatly folding and hot gluing the corners down. You can glue it straight to the planner itself or to the fabric to make the cover reusable. When our fabric was ready to go, we grabbed a few items from our craft box—ribbon and a big iron-on "B"—and tacked those down with hot glue. Perfecto!
More great ideas: Use fun ribbon to spell out your name on the front, or head to the store to see what kind of decorations you can find. Check out the scrapbooking aisle for some unusual notions.

In situ observation of photoinduced refractive-index changes in filaments formed in glasses by femtosecond laser pulses
Optics Letters, Vol. 26, Issue 1, pp. 19-21 (2001)
Acrobat PDF (261 KB)
We investigated the relationship between the formation of filaments and local refractive-index changes induced by femtosecond laser pulses in silica glass. In situ observation revealed that the location of a filament coincided with that of the refractive-index change. Observation also showed that the region of refractive-index change was elongated toward the upstream direction of the laser pulses with increasing exposure time. The region of refractive-index change was several hundred micrometers long, and its diameter was smaller than 2 μm. The refractive-index change was confirmed by two of three different methods to be as large as 0.8 × 10-2.

This is my favourite everyday lipstick in shade "rosy shimmer". It's a lovely pinkish shade with a bit of subtle sparkle. It looks lovely straight from the bullet and doesn't bleed at all. It does fade, but not quickly- and as it doesn't bleed you can be secure in the knowledge that you won't be walking around with horrible lip liner-esque lines! It goes on nice and creamy and smells quite nice (but subtle). It's a reasonable price for a good-quality lipstick and I would definitely buy again (in the same shade!).
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have Bronze Berry Pearl and Poppy Cream. Plan on getting more someday. Best lipstick formula for me. Makes lips look juicy but not glossy, stays on very well, creamy, very pigmented. BBP is a beautiful colour that everyone should try. Poppy Cream- the most beautiful red l/s I have found! It is HG especially as I got a bunch of compliments and.. Even DH thought it was pretty - normally he dislikes red l/s. The colour is vivid, fresh n bright, not muted, a woman told me 'it looks like flower petals'- the finish is slightly glossy, pigmentation is the best, better than l/s from Chanel and Dior imo.

Amazing lipsticks highly pigmented, lasting colour but moisturising as the same time. Very rare in a lipstick. I love wearing lipsticks but find them uncomfortable on my lips. Not this one. Got a sample with a magazine, have since purchased it. The website also has great colour descriptions too, to help you select the right colour for your skin. I go for cool tones so look for blue undertones.

I have this lipstick in the colour teaberry shimmer, the colour isnt a problem but the lipstick isnt that great and is comparable to drugstore lippies. The packaging is plasticy. I wouldnt repurchase and I wouldnt recommend, better of going to a drugstore and getting rimmel/maybelline
I have this in charisma, a BRIGHT pink (but sheer) color. i love it! I ONLY did nude, nude,nude and more nude lips before this. Everything else makes me look clownish. even my own natural lip color makes me look clownish, no matter how little else make up im wearing!! (asian, sallow complexion) So what a great surprise this was! over my natural lip color, it tones it down, and over a nude lipbase its a little more intense (but not in your face) very pretty. this totally brightens up my corpse-ish looking skin, without looking like a overly made up cadaver.
if anyone else has been trying in vain to find a bright pink that dosent look creep-tastic, try this!!
Color aside... very smooth and hydrating, no odd smell, not heavy feeling.
good stuff

I received this in Cocoa as GWP recently at a Boots store. The colour is not quite a cocoa, more like a bronzey-brick/terracotta with slight frosty shimmers. It's actually quite a warm-neutral colour with good pigment, however it's heavily fragranced and didn't last too long on my lips (it left just an outline and disappeared in the middle after an hour or so without drinking or eating). It is similar to Clinique's Amber Glass, but I prefer Clinique's for the moisturising properties and staying power. Won't be buying this.

I have Wonder, it's a deep berry. It's actually too dark for my light olive complexion and small lips, but I love it. (I mix it with a pink lipstick to brighten it). It's much creamier than Arden's Exceptional Lipsticks. It matches perfectly with EA Rustic 03 Lip Liner. The reason I'm giving 4 lippies is the overpowering perfume smell and taste (like all EA lipsticks) and the tube is not as elegant as their other lipsticks. Otherwise, it's highly pigmented, it lasts very well and it's nice and creamy.
I have this in Caprice, it's a lovely coral shade as described in the EA website and flatters my Asian skin perfectly. It has very subtle shimmers as well. When I first put it on it seems gaudy and too shimmery for my taste but after a minute it settle to a lovely sheen on my lips. It's not drying and the lasting power is quite good, but will update on that further. Tempted to try dream next! Must admit the packaging is a little tacky...

The color "Dream" is beautiful but the packaging is ugly, inelegant and heavy!! It seems like those cheap lipstick sold in supermarket (gave 2** for packaging).

Alright, so you are looking for something special, something different, something new to do on Valentine's evening. Couple's night out? Let me share with you an event that came across my path!
Momona Beats presents DJ Dan on Valentine's weekend. Friday, February 13th at Eleven44 they are having a show. Then on Saturday, February 14th at Tahiti Nui they will be performing.
Tickets are $15 per person as a presale, and are available online at this link: http://www.momonabeats.com/new-events/. If you make your decision to come last minute, at the door tickets are $20.
I haven't been to Eleven44 before (to be honest and all), but I do know about Tahiti Nui! Here is their sign out front, so you know what to look for, despite the night starting at 9pm…
Check out the website I linked in this article to find out more about DJ Dan and Momona Beats. This is for adults aged 21 and over, so please plan accordingly.
I get it. Vacations are a luxury type of expense. A Hawaii vacation does not have to break the bank though! There are vacation rentals very reasonably priced for what they offer you. Hanalei Bay Resort 3305-6 is a one bedroom, one bath vacation rental condo unit that has all that you need for your stay. It has breath-taking view of the ocean and of Bali Hai.
Hanalei Bay Resort 3305-6 is a one bedroom (king sized bed) and one bath (full sized bathroom) that also hosts a kitchenette, high speed internet, air conditioning (if needed), living room, and porch (lanai) where you can sit and enjoy the view. This is a perfect getaway for a couple, a family of 3, or for a single person.
Check out its location at 5380 Honoiki Rd, Princeville, HI 96722. The views are right there, big and panoramic! Ok, so you know how I was talking about Hawaiian vacations and price? Well, this vacation rental is a mere $1505 per week, and some seasonal rates make it even lower. They offer nightly rates as well if you were not planning on staying a full week. I vote for at least a week when you come to stay and play on the great island of Kauai. For more information on booking this space for yourself, visit the link I attached above in this article.
It is that time of year again, for the annual Waipa Kalo Festival!
To some, this may make perfect sense. I also understand that some folks may not know what Waipa and Kalo mean. First things first. Waipa refers to the foundation that is putting on this event. The Waipa Foundation values connecting people with the land and natural resources around them. Secondly, Kalo is part of the taro plant. It is an edible, starchy, nutrient rich plant that is grown in Hawaii as well as other places around the world.
Ok, so back to the festival… this is like a strawberry festival or an orange festival, but it is a kalo festival. Get it?
The festival is for everything kalo! It is happening this Sunday, December 7th on Hanalei Bay. Activities commence at 11am and go until about 5pm. There will be live entertainment and music. It is very family friendly I might add. Some of the highlighted events include a waterslide and a recipe contest. Of course there will be other activities for kids to keep them entertained and busy.
For just $5 for adults ages 18 and up, and $1 for kids, this is an event you do not want to miss. It is an affordable price for all of the fun you get! Bring a beach blanket, sunwear, and enjoy the day on the beach and with some good community company. Proceeds benefit the Waipa Foundation.
I have some great news for Kauai residents and visitors alike. The North Shore Shuttle service has launched earlier this month, and this is such welcoming news.
For residents, this is a shuttle/van system that can conveniently take you places where you want to go. For visitors, this may be even better news! When I travel somewhere new, I don't know the land, the roads, even a general sense of direction for me is completely gone. My family jokes about this with me, and I have come to laugh along too. So if it were me coming to Kauai, I would be so very thankful for someone else to shuttle me around!
The shuttle service runs on the North Shore, and moves about between Princeville, Hanalei, Wainiha, Haena, and Kee. Fares for visitors are just $2 each way, and residents are charged $1. This is very reasonable… I like it for it is paid transportation and navigation all in one! Experience Kauai is the name of the shuttle service. There are two shuttles and one runs from 6am to 6pm and the other, from 9am to 9pm.
To see the full tours and shuttles schedule, check out their main website at http://kauaishuttles.com/tours-and-shuttles/. You can better see where the shuttles go to and from, as well as see their airport shuttle service. They offer 14 seater vans for most of the commuting, not a bus. They so on-call shuttle service, as well as plan-ahead appointments. I personally vote for the latter, as I am such a planner. This will likely ensure reduced fees instead of doing a last minute call for a higher price if you know what I mean…
Ok, now this is a super family fun worthy event, and all towards a good cause! At Kauai Mini Golf and Botanical Gardens is Kilauea is a Mini Golf Fundraiser this Saturday, October 18th from 11am to 3pm. It is a fundraiser for the Aloha School Early Learning Center. They are a non-profit organization that offer early learning education to young children. The school is in Hanalei, and Kauai Mini Golf and Botanical Gardens is in Kilauea (5-2723 Kuhio Hwy, Kilauea, HI 96754 to be exact).
I heard about the event from a co-worker, and I thought I would share! It is a fundraiser for the school, and it costs $15 per person or $50 for a family of four; children ages 3 and under are free. This entrance fee includes all activities and mini golf itself, games, crafts, face painting, and –wait for it– glitter tattoos! How much fun is that. Most kids love to get those fake tattoos, and now add glitter– that is taking it to a new level. Yay for the kids… I love it when the kids win! (Glitter tattoos and helping out the early education Aloha School.) What a win-win situation.
On the flyer I got, it says there will also be a silent auction, as well as a lucky drawing (tickets are $5 each). I'm not sure what is being auctioned, nor what the lucky drawing prize is–I suppose you and I will have to go there and find out now, won't we?!
Looking for something to do this coming weekend? Remember the Waioli Mission House and Church I blogged about earlier? If not, read about it here: http://www.kauai-vacation-rentals.com/waioli-mission-house-church/
Anyway, tomorrow, Saturday September 27th is Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day, and admission to tour the 1836 Waioli Mission House is free! I just love the word free, for the most part. From 9am to 3pm admission and guided tours are free on the this one day only. If you are in Hanalei or on the Kauai's North Shore in general, you won't want to miss this opportunity.
Now that I mention it, I have not been in awhile! I think I will make the time to tour the mission house and get a mini history lesson while I'm at it. I love hearing stories, and the folks who used to live here sure have a lot of stories to tell. The guided tours are nice, and I like to hear the questions and answers as well. I can be a bit shy in crowds, so I usually do the listening. If I do have a question, I am the one to say it in my head over and over until I am satisfied with how I phrased it. I am a detailed person and I can get pretty specific in my questions and thoughts! If you happen to be on the tour when I am there, I'll be the quiet and observant one!
Want to go to the beach? Can't seem to decide on which one? I want to give a shout-out to Lumahai Beach in Hanalei, on Kauai's North Shore.
Lumahai brags of white sandy beaches. Oh that glorious sand is fantastic! I was there just the other day and I enjoyed falling in love with this beach again; the waves, the rocks, the sand. I usually see people just walking the shoreline at sunset. Very romantic spot!
This is not one of those overly populated beaches either, there is not too much influence of humans here, so it is picturesque and all natural in its element. I suggest other beaches for swimming and snorkeling. If you want to feel like you are one of the first people to step foot on a beach, this is the one for you!
If perhaps your or someone in your group is unable to get to the water's edge for some beach walking, maybe the lookout point from the main road will suffice. It provides a great lookout and photography spot that I recommend. You can also find Lumahai Beach on numerous postcards on Kauai if that is something you prefer to do.
So get on out there and live a little! That is what I was up to this past weekend. I tend to do a lot of thinking during my beach walks, and the water's rise and fall comforts me and soothes my soul. It is a way for me to think, to heal, to rejuvenate. I encourage my readers to do the same.
Speaking of restaurants (can you tell food is on my mind?) I thought I would share about one of my favorite and inexpensive restaurants on Kauai. I am all about good food, but I also keep to my personal budget. I can imagine for travelers that sticking to a budget might be part of the vacation plan. So let me present to you one of my favorites that is good for the wallet and good for the belly
Bubba's Burgers
Bubba's can be found all over Kauai, but I frequent the ones on Kauai's North Shore. This is not your ordinary burger place… they offer fresh, grass-fed Kauai beef burgers on their menu! See Bubba's menu here for the serious inquirer. Let your eyes find their way to the milkshakes on the menu as well, and you will not be disappointed with their real ice cream.
This is a great place, really. Location, price, quality of the food… yes, yes and yes again! They have been in business since 1936 and are good at what they do. Bubba's saying is "Always juicy, never greasy." I sure like it that way. They are very a very family friendly place, and the atmosphere is just right in my opinion. Check them out in Hanalei
Looking for some things to do on Kauai's north shore? Well, you don't have to look too hard to find 'em. Follow my blog and I will share with you things to do, activities, news of events going on, as well as some places to stay.
Today I thought it would be nice to highlight the Waioli Mission House and Church in Hanalei. Here is the trip advisor link to the Mission House. It is a famous Hanalei Town landmark, built in 1837. It is officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. What is so special about this place? It is rich in history–let me tell you!
Abner and Lucy Wilcox were missionaries back in 1837 and this was their home. It has a lava rock chimney and is furnished with timely koa furniture. They couple had eight sons, all born in this house. Oh and what I find fascinating is the clock on the wall that was put up in1866 (my sources tell me) that keeps perfect time still! Also on the property is the Waioli Huiia Church, which started operations in 1834.
From a historical standpoint these two structures stand out to me as special. I love to see history alive. It has always been neat to walk through old places like that, to literally walk in other people's footsteps from long ago. In another sense, it makes me all the more grateful for what amenities we have today! I'm just being honest.
Alright… those of you who are into fitness, pay attention. Those of you who are not into fitness but like to have fun, pay attention. Fitness meets fun at this upcoming event that I just saw on the calendar. For those who are coming to Kauai as visitors, please come and join in the fun! Consider this your personal invitation from me
Saturday, August 30th from 7am to 3pm at Wai'oli Beach Park "Pinetrees" Hanalei on Kauai's North Shore is this year's Fitness Fair and SUP Sprint. That title might sound intimidating, but trust me, it is not. It really is a fitness fair for all people or all ages.
There are two main events (besides the live music which I will get to as well). First is the SUP Sprint on Hanalei Bay. This is a BYO-SUP (bring your own SUP) event for a half mile route. It is all in good fun.
Second is the fit challenge consisting of three 1-minute timed events. How easy is that? The three events are jump rope, push-ups and sit-ups. Did I mention it is all in good fun? I cannot do that many push-ups…really though, I max-out after about 10 seconds. On that note, let me mention there are both male and female friendly competitions that also breaks down by age group: kids 12 and under, teen 13-19, adult 20-39, and adult over 40.
Click here for the registration form.
Last but not least, this is a family friendly competition, but it is noteworthy that there are prizes based on registration. Participation waivers will need to be signed upon check in on the day of the event, Saturday. Now I just need to decide if I am going to participate or not…. maybe?
I have the perfect event for a Sunday Funday this coming weekend. It is the 2nd Annual Music & Mango Festival brought to you by the Waipa Foundation. This organization has been going strong now for over 20 years, connecting the community with hands on sustainable farming. They are all about the land and the resources, and using them responsibly. Here's their webpage if you'd like to learn more about this great organization: www.waipafoundation.org
So this Sunday, August 17th at the Halulu Fishpond in Hanalei is where the festival will be held. Activities begin at 11am and it goes until 5pm. Adults admission is $10 and kids ages 3-18 are just $1. It is a family friendly event, and it is also noteworthy that it is held outdoors. There will still be easy handicap access though.
What is all of the hype about? Well, mangos and some good music! There will be food booths, crafts, auctions going on, mini-classes and hands-on workshops. There will be cultural displays as well as live entertainment and live music, of course.
Here's what I suggest you bring if you are planning to attend: Admission money, spending money, a beach blanket or lawn chairs for the family to relax in, protection from the sun such as a hat and sunscreen, and other specialty needs as it pertains to your family or group (ie stroller, extra water bottles, etc). See you there?!
I saw this in my newsfeed this morning, and knew I had to blog about it. I think it is so neat and something that we could all learn from! Here's the specs on this upcoming event…
What It's a free class on Hawaiian Medicinal Plants (La'au Lapa'au). Here is the link to the facebook site.
Who This class is hosted and taught by Gabriel Monaghan. (I wonder how long he has been doing this, and what credential backing he has to prove his research and everything. Well, I guess I'll find out!)
Where It is this Wednesday night at the Hanalei Community Center (also referred to as Hale Halawai 'Ohana 'OHanalei). 55299 Kuhio Hwy C, Hanalei, Hawaii 96714 is the address.
When The free first class is this Wednesday, August 13th from 5pm to about 6:30pm. The post I saw says there are 12 classes for a fee, but this first introductory class is free and open to the public.
Why Why is this news worthy? I know there are medicinal healing abilities in plants. I am oh so curious to know more about the plants around us and how I can use them. At the very minimum, my curiosity has peaked and I want to know what kind of info this guy has to say.
Most people love live music. There is a certain ambiance that is created and you realize how alive and invigorating it is to have a live performance rather than hearing songs on the radio. What I am trying to say, is that I have really come to enjoy live music over the years. As my maturity in music has evolved as I have gotten older, I am much more appreciative of live performances.
This Friday, August 8th at the Hanalei Community Center there will be the "Mountain to Sea Slack Key Guitar and Ukulele Concert" that is the show you do not want to miss! Really, this has gotten high ratings and good reviews on sites like TripAdvisor. I heard about this concert coming to town, and I find it odd that I have not been to one of their live shows before. Anyway, the show starts at 4PM at the Hanalei Community Center. Tickets are priced for adults at $20 per person, and then seniors and kids are $15 each, children age 5 and under are free admission.
For more information and to purchase your tickets online, follow this link. This is the Number One Best Live Show in Hawaii after all, as voted by Hawaii Magazine Readers' Choice. I think this is the year I make my debut at this concert! How about you?
If you are anything like me, you simply love the beach. The ocean, the waves, the sand, the sun, the whole package! I am pleased to share that one of my favorite events is back this year, back on the beach. The Sand Castle Contest in Hanalei is coming up on Saturday, August 2nd from 11am to 4pm.
I am excited to watch these artists at work. I do not compete myself, no, I am one to observe and appreciate the skill and effort put into these pieces of art. This is a free contest and all artists are welcome. Yes, that means kids through adults, all are welcome to compete. Years past have been very easy going where it comes not feel like a competition at all, more like groups coming out and 'playing' in the sand. Individuals are welcome, as well as teams of any size and age range. I love that about this friendly competition. Note that there are prizes, but really I think the experience is the gemstone here.
This is a family friendly event in Hanalei Bay. Schedule it into your plans that Saturday and enjoy some good times out by the water's edge with some great sand art. I am adding this to my planner, that's for sure.
Want to volunteer? There are many jobs to do to help prepare for this event before, during and after. Click here if you want to know more about this neat opportunity, or to know more about the event in general. Also see some pictures from past years contests.
This Saturday the 26th is the annual Hanalei Bay Swim Challenge! Staying on Kauai's north shore? Do you like to swim in races or maybe just like to cheer on the swimmers? This event is perfect to attend. If you have a swimmer in your family, click here for Race Registration. This is a family friendly event, and all swimmers are welcome. For more general information for attendees, read more at this link for General Information.
I personally have not competed in the swim challenge, but I know plenty of folks who have. It is a good time and a high energy environment. I like that they have spots for the kids as well. I was cruising around on their website, and I found that there is indeed a 1000 meter route and a 3000 meter course for adults. The start of this event is near Hanalei Pier, just next to Hanalei Beach Park.
This is the ocean, and safety is the first priority. This event has been and will be well monitored both from the shoreline and out in the water with jet skis and paddle boards. With as much media attention as this swim challenge gets, there is sure to be more than enough lifeguards and other safety officials there.
There is a relatively new tradition that I want to share about, and invite you to come to. It is this Saturday, July 5th at the Hanalei Pavilion Beach Park. It is the annual "After the Fireworks" event. This is a time where we as a community can come together and clean up the Bay from all of the fireworks litter and debris left behind from the night before. I love a good fireworks show, but I will readily admit that I love Hanalei Bay more, much, much more.
The gathering of helpers to commence the cleanup will meet at 9am. I was told to bring gloves and a shovel if you have one. I suggest wearing a hat of some sort, and to wear sunscreen. There will be other cleanup supplies provided. Contact Kelly at 808-826-2218 if you have any further questions. She is the point of contact for this event.
I chose to blog about this to inform more of our community about this productive annual tradition. For those who are living here and those who are visiting, please come on out and lend a helping hand. In years past I heard there are light refreshments served as well. Very thoughtful for the sponsors of this little event to have something like that. Hope to see you there!
Usually I am on my game and can share about some fun and interesting things to do on Kauai, but this one is last minute! I have just the thing for folks to do on Kauai's north shore for tomorrow night, Saturday, June 21st. At Tahiti Nui, a great eatery, there will be a live performance by Guadi! They are calling it a Summer Solstice Show. After all, it is the first day of summer tomorrow.
Tahiti Nui is in Hanalei, located at 5-5134 Kuhio Highway. This public concert begins in the evening (9pm), and I suggest getting there sooner rather than later. Get something tasty to eat at Tahiti Nui like their baby back ribs, or their Garden Isle salad. They are also a cocktail lounge, so if that is something you would like to purchase, for those age 21 and up go right on ahead. Also on the menu are beer and wine.
If you are in the area, I think this would be a great thing to go to, for you night owls. If you are not in the area, it is worth your time to come on up and check out Guadi, Tahiti Nui, and the rest of Kauai's north shore. Here in Hanalei with the bay and everything, it is not a place you should pass on through. Come on over, stay awhile!
I saw this post in my newsfeed this morning. The picture is almost as good as the real thing! If you have not been to Kauai's north shore, you should really put it on your bucket list if it is not there already. Hanalei Bay is simply gorgeous and a very awakening place to be. By awakening, I mean it makes me feel alive. It engages all of my senses when I am there. The sights are magnificent, the smells extraordinary (in a good way), the sounds soothing and calming, and the touch of the sand on your feet and the wind at your back makes me feel alive. I love it when I get moments out of my day to stop, and smell the roses. I like it when I catch myself with all of my senses screaming at me! The beauty, the weather of this place is nine times out of ten, perfect! Even then, I do appreciate variety in weather.
Want to talk about weather in Hanalei? How does 79 degrees Fahrenheit sound? Partly cloudy? There is a chance of rain later today, but that does not affect the temperature much at all. There's nothing wrong with a little spring sprinkling. That picture I posted is spot on when it comes to describing today's weather. Just enough clouds to keep the sun playing peek-a-boo.
Hanalei Bay is a gorgeous place to come and stay… and to play and learn too! Why not learn about Kauai's history and indulge yourself into some knowledge? The Hoopulapula Haraguchi Rice Mill and Taro Farm has a tour that is just what you were asking for when you asked for an informative, historical indulgence into Kauai's past.
The tours are by appointment only, so follow the link to get connected and set your tour date with the good people at the Haraguchi Rice Mill (www.haraguchiricemill.org). Or you can call them at (808) 651-3399. While I'm at it and looking up their exact information, here is their address too: 5-5070 Kuhio Hwy, Hanalei, HI 96714.
So this facility is part rice mill, part taro farm. There used to be acreage that supported rice, but that has since turned into an active taro farm. What is taro you may ask? Taro (or kalo) is a plant that produces what is called "poi." Poi is a common staple food on Hawaii. From what I know about it, it is very nutritious, hypo-allergenic, and gentle on sensitive tummies. I know some who have used it as a milk substitute even. Ok, perhaps you know a bit more about taro now.
I do not want to give away all of the neat and interesting facts about this family owned farm, but I will tell you that you will not regret going! For the tour, dress accordingly and be prepared to get your shoes wet or maybe even muddy. This is a hands-on, interactive, and very informative tour. I was able to appreciate the Haraguchi's dedication and work ethic to this historical place as they continue to farm this precious land.
Thinking of staying at a resort on Kauai? The Hanalei Bay Resort has condos perfect for a vacation rental getaway. These condos have all that you need to get that perfect atmosphere surrounding you and your family and friends while staying on Kauai. The Garden Island's north shore is the place to stay when you are coming to Kauai!
This condo has it all when it comes to amenities! It is a three bedroom, two bath rental. There are two king sized bedrooms (so that sleeps four people right there) and there is a loft bedroom with two twin beds (so that's another two people). It sleeps six people in beds–consider the couches if you have another person you are needing to squeeze in a spot to sleep.
There is air conditioning. This might seem like something standard depending on where you live, but I just wanted to note it in case it was something you were really seeking out in a vacation rental. The entire resort has wireless internet! There are also flat screen TV's in all of the bedrooms and in the living room. This makes for some good ol' fashioned down-time when you are relaxing at this resort.
A resort with kitchens in its condos? Yes! Hanalei Bay Resort 6301 has a full sized kitchen. This makes vacationing so much easier when you have access to a sink, water, a fridge and freezer, stovetop, oven, etc. If you have special dietary needs or are traveling with someone who does, this will make your vacation go much more smoothly. Being able to shop and have food nearby at all times will ensure peace of mind and some monetary savings.
Speaking of savings, this resort vacation rental rents as low as $2,100 per week! For all that you get, this is a real deal. For a resort with an ocean view, you cannot get much better of a rate as this. Oh–and let me finish telling you about the rest of the amenities… There is a full sized washer and dryer in the unit. How convenient is that?
Do you like tennis? The resort have a full-service tennis court and pro-shop. Just imagine the views while playing a few rounds in the morning. It's a gorgeous place to stay and play. The resort's pool is also a big plus! Be sure to check out the pictures and availability calendar at the link I listed in this post. Places like this make staying on Kauai's north shore easy and affordable in my opinion.

If you could sneak a peek into my mind, what confounding things you might find, for there my darkest ponderings lay awake, silent now for society's sake, resting whilst consciousness reigns, making notes of my Id's complaints, those unsatisfied urges, those murky thoughts, those suppressed battles I haven't yet fought, the graphic conceptions ahead of this age, searing passion and unbridled rage, If you saw what I can see, without a last glance, you would turn and flee from me.
