I didn't use the moby wrap when Sophie was a baby. I used a carrier probably a handful of times but with Ella I wear her all.the.time. Maybe it's a second-baby-there-is-so-much-to-do-with-two-kids thing, but I LOVE it.
I started using the moby within days of Ella's birth.
*edited to add: I use the Moby D!
I moved the one panel for picture purposes but it would normally go over her head slightly for support.
Out for a walk in the first week.
I absolutely love putting Ella in the moby wrap and she loves it too. There aren't many days that go by where I haven't put her in at least once. She's been known to spend three hours at a time in it, and within minutes of putting her in she's out like a light.
When it was just Sophie and I, when she was an infant – it was easy to sit on the couch all day and hold her while she slept. Not much got done around the house some days but I didn't care too much because I loved those days where we would cuddle on the couch. Now, with the moby I can still hold Ella while she sleeps, but I can do things with Sophie too. Win win. There are still some days where things don't get done in the house but every mom has those days!
The great thing about the moby is I can do things – like cook (safely), clean, do my make up, play with Sophie, do laundry, go on walks, shop etc. If worn correctly it is super easy to keep them secure while getting on with daily tasks.
Perfect for those tired mama days.
I love how she snuggles.
I will probably use different carriers as Ella gets older. I hear the Ergo is a great one, but I also have others at home that I could probably try first!
Oh and despite all the babywearing we do, I definitely love those moments where we hang out on the couch too. Sometimes you need to sit and take it all in. Life is full of all kinds of busy, you know?
Have you ever used the moby wrap or another type of carrier?

The Issa Hearing Redux: Arizona Rep. Franks Seeks to Control D.C.'s Abortion Policy But Won't Let D.C. Rep. Norton Speak
An Arizona Congressman is pushing for an abortion ban on the citizens of Washington, D.C. But the woman who represents that constituency isn't allowed to be there.
A judiciary committee is scheduled to hear a potential ban on abortions after 20 weeks for residents of the nation's capitol.
What exactly does "most likely to save both lives" mean?
The ban, which wrongfully redefines medical terms in an attempt to limit a woman's right to choose, is perhaps the most confusing of all so called "20 week" bans.
The new extreme bill outlaws abortions before most women will even do anomaly screenings.
The bill, which bans abortions at 20 weeks gestation versus 20 weeks post-fertilization, will now go to the governor for signature.
The contentious fight over a 20 week abortion ban may be heading out of the legislature and into the streets.

Lachlan MacTavish is an American in London on business and decides to visit his younger sister. Unfortunately, he reaches his sister's home to find that she has died, and her children are being severely neglected. Mac's brother-in-law is none other than a drunken Viscount Simmons, and Mac decides that his niece and nephew would be safest while in the care of their uncle.

 Mac kidnaps the children and flees to the country only to discover that the woman recommended for the position of nanny is no longer alive. His quest for a nanny leads him to the home of Beatrice Cavendish, a long Meg of a spinster trying desperately to run the estate she inherited from her father. Bea agrees to let Mac stay at her home until his ship is ready to sail, though she is under the misapprehension that he is a widower and father to the children. In exchange, Mac agrees to teach Bea about the running of the estate. Lady Taubee, Bea's eccentric aunt, visits Bea's home and manages to get Mac to admit his true identity which is soon revealed to Bea. Mutual attraction leads Bea and Mac to marry, though she wants no man to control her future and convinces herself and him that she would be better off remaining to run her estate while he sails his ship and the children back to Virginia.

 Richly entertaining and frequently laced with humor, this novel sets a pace that will hold the reader's interest. Bea and Mac are the perfect example of the phrase 'opposites attract'. She epitomizes the straight-laced English spinster, while he is the gruff American. Though the children are instrumental in bringing this unlikely pair together, their admiration for one another, both physical and intellectual, gives their relationship sticking power.

 The supporting players make this book worthwhile, too. They create a sub-plot of their own, especially James, the over-dressed distant cousin of a footman. One can't help but wonder how his relationship to Bea really fits into the storyline. This is definitely a novel worth exploring.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. Patricia writes very well. I like some of her characters but it is a 21st century book with a Regency tag. It is not a true Regency book. The setting is nice but characters in the time period being described would not act as her characters do. It is a pleasant diversion once but not something I would hold onto.Was this review helpful?

ALL A WOMAN WANTS by Patricia Rice is an exciting Regency historical romance set in 1815 England. When a visionary and a homebody meets will love blossom? Fast paced and filled with trust and love. When Mac finds his beloved sister dead,her children abused and abandoned by their father,he set's of to get them to his parents in America. What follows is much more than he bargained for,wanted or expected. He finds Beatrice,who is left alone when her beloved father passes away,and leaves her with a huge responsibility to save her beloved home. She has never left her country estate,been sheltered from the outside world,knows not what to expect,or anything of running a huge estate on the brink of disaster. Enter Mac,his niece,nephew and a world of trouble. With humor,secrets,passion,romance and love you will not go wrong with "All A Woman Wants" which is love and happiness. A must read for any historical readers,and anyone who enjoys a great read where family is everything and worth the trouble. Received for an honest review from the author and Library Thing.

All a Woman Wants is a historical romance. The plot is simple Mac sails from America to London to sell his cargo and look into how his sister his doing. His family has not heard from her for months. Mac is surprised to find that his sister died months ago in childbirth.
His nephew and niece are not being taken care off. His nephew has a broken arm and the children are being drugged. His brother-in-law
is a drunk. The nurse maids are not taking care of the children.
Mac decides to take the children and sail back home and letting his parents raise the kids right. He goes to the country to find the nanny he is told and finds she has died too.
Bea's father died and left her the estate but she was never taught how to take care of everything. Plus it's in debt. She is shy and hardly ever leaves the estate. She needs someone to teach her how to run it right and read the account books.
When Mac his guided to her estate they make a deal. He and the children can stay and Mac will teach her what he can till his new ship is ready to sail and he finds a new nanny to sail with him to take care of the children. Mac would rather do than show Bea how to run the estate. He yells a lot but is turning things around slowly.
The children's father regrets that he signed away his children and is looking for them. His father is a powerful Earl and if he does not have the kids won't recieve money for their care.
It is a nice story. Too many love scene details in it. I like that Bea wants to learn things not just let people around her make the decisions. She also wants to help her people. Mac is big,rough and loud. But he cares for the kids and his willing to go to jail for the kids safety.
I was given this ebook to read as part of Librarything early review program. The contents are my own opinion of the story.

American Lachlan McTavish arrives in London on business, but looks forward to also seeing his younger sister, a local resident married to a viscount. Lachlan has not heard from Marilee in about eight years, but is stunned to learn Lady Simmons, as the servant call his sibling, has been dead for almost a year. Even more shocking is that her children are neglected and abused, and her husband is a twenty-four hour drunk. Unable to idly ignore what is happening to his nephews, Lachlan abducts the two kids.
 Beatrice Cavendish quickly learns she has no experience or training in managing the family estate that she recently inherited with the death of her father. Worse yet, her father left the estate in near bankruptcy. Mac arrives seeking Nanny Marrow to help him with two children in town, only to learn she died just last week. However, he and Bea strike a deal. He teaches her how to run an estate and she insures the children receive proper nurturing. Neither one expected to fall in love with one another and his nephews to blossom, but it explodes amidst all four of them. ALL A WOMAN WANTS is an entertaining nineteenth century romance that showcases the talent of Patricia Rice. The story line is poignant as it highlights the impact of neglect on several levels (not just the children) and quite amusing especially with the interaction between the key cast members. This ultra-talented author¿s novels are not just a steamy bowl of rice; her works are a gourmet delight.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
June 1, 1937. J. B. HANDLEY 2,082,574
GAUNTLET ARM PROTECTOR Filed Marchs, 19:55
)n ma INVENTOR. 170HN Eamon HaNvLeY.
BY Imm ATTORNEY- Patented `fune 1, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
'I'his invention relates to new and useful improvements in a gauntlet arm protector.
The invention has for an object the construction of a device as mentioned which is adapted to protect the arms of a person from rubbing against stationary objects and parts, and particularly intended for engineers of locomotives. It is customary for these engineers to lean with one arm on the window sill of the window of the cab to look ahead on the track. Usually, locomotive engineers wear gauntlet gloves but these gloves are not satisfactory for protecting the arm properly, and consequently it is common for engineers to have callouses extending from the area between the wrist and elbow.
This invention has for an object the construction of an arm protector which is adapted to be worn by engineers and others and which is so constructed that the wearer may continuously lean with the arm on rigid objects without developing callouses and sores.
A further object of this invention is to adapt it to a gauntlet glove or merely a gauntlet arm protector. The glove construction is intended for winter wear, while the gauntlet arm protector without glove is intended for summer wear.
More particularly, the invention contemplates the construction of a gauntlet arm protector which extends from the wrist to the elbow and which is cut out at the elbow so as to partially extend around the arm of the person when the elbow is bent, and which is provided with a pad along the bottom part thereof and of such construction and material, and so located, as to protect the arm and prevent sores and callouses.
More particularly, the invention contemplates the use of sponge rubber sheets of very heavy material to constitute the dominant portion of the pad construction. Sponge rubber for this purpose has numerous advantages, among them being that it is waterproof; it is light; it is very durable.
Another one of the objects of this invention relates to the construction by which the pad is attached on the arm protector.
Still further the invention proposes the construction of an article as mentioned which is simple and durable and which can be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a gauntlet arm protector in combination with a glove.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a gauntlet arm protector without the glove.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of a gauntlet arm pro.- tector constructed according Ato another `embodiment of the invention.
'Ihe gauntlet arm protector shown in Figs. 1 and 2 comprises a cloth or the like arm member I 0 adapted to extend from the wrist to the elbow in a stationary position on the arm of a person, and equipped with a pad II on its underside, also extending from the wrist substantially to the elbow. The gauntlet arm member I0 is connected with a glove I2. This glove may be of full calf leather, or other leather, or imitation leather, or it may be partially of cloth material at the top and leather upon the 2 bottom side of the hand. The gauntlet arm member I0 should preferably be of relatively stiff material so that it maintains its shape. The glove portion I2 must be of soft material so that it is flexible to permit a person to use his fingers and hand freely.
An elastic strip I3 is attached upon the upper side of the rear of the glove portion I2 so as to contract the area I2 of the glove and hold the article at the wrist person. The pad II preferably should be of sponge rubber material and should extend completely across the bottom side of the member I Il and also slightly around the sides thereof.
As illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, the pad I I is removably mounted. More particularly, there are lines of snap fastener elements I4 upon the side edges of the pad I I engageable with complementary sections on the arm member Ill. With this construction the pad may be removed and replaced when desired. This permits the replacement of the pad in the event that it becomes worn, or it permits the use of the gauntlet or glove without the pad if so desired. Auxiliary snap fasteners I4 are extended along the material of the gauntlet arm I 0 and are adapted to coact with the sections of the fasteners I 4 which are mounted on the pad II to permit the pad to be mounted in a different position on the arm member. The purpose upon the arm of a 3 of this arrangement is that for different occupations and uses it may be advisable that the pad be further towards one side than the other.
The gauntlet arm protector and glove, according to this invention as directed relative to Figs. 1 and 2, is adapted to be Worn in the winter time or in the summer time if so desired. In Fig. 3 another embodiment of the invention has been disclosed in which the arm protector is shown Without the glove. This form is particularly intended for summer wear. It consists of the arm member Ill Which has a band of exible material I2a attached upon the wrist end thereof. An elastic strip I3 is attached upon the flexible band 12a in such a manner as to form gathers IZb. The flexible band'lZa. is adapted to resiliently engage on ones wrist and hold the arm protector in position. In other respects this form of the invention is identical to the form previously described and similar parts may be recognized by the identical reference numerals.
In Fig. 4.- another embodiment of the invention has been disclosed which is substantially identical to the form shown in Fig. 3, distinguishing merely in the manner in which the pad Il is attached upon the arm member lil. The pad Il is ixedly mounted by lines of stitches I5 extended along the edges thereof` The arm members l0 of the various forms of this invention have their rear ends shaped with cut-out curved portions Ill' adapted to partially encircle the arm at the elbow so as not to interfere with the functioning of the arm, but at the same time to extend sufficiently under the elbow to protect the elbow from direct contact with foreign parts.
While I have illustrated and described my invention with some degree of particularity, I realize that in practice various alterations therein may be made. I therefore reserve the right and privilege of changing the form of the details of construction or otherwise altering the arrangement of the correlated parts without departing from the spirit or .the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:-
l. A gauntlet arm protector, comprising a gauntlet arm member adapted to extend from the wrist to the elbow in a stationary position, and a pad on the underside thereof extending from the wrist end to the elbow end, said pad being of sponge rubber, and fasteners mounted upon the longitudinal edges of the pad engageable with complementary snap fasteners on the arm member.
2. A gauntlet arm protector, comprising a gauntlet arm member adapted to extend from the wrist to the elbow in a stationary position, a pad on the underside thereof extending from the wrist end to the elbow end, longitudinal lines of snap fasteners along the sides of said pad engageable with selective lines of complementary snap fasteners on the gauntlet arm member.

Roger WatersVote freedom, join the Libertarian Party.
but ive ceen them in 12 ga though, last i knew 50 bmg shells arent that big
It's a common field expedient to cut down .50 BMG to use for 12 ga. If you cut a .50 BMG to 3" in length, they're the same OD and if done right, the .50 BMG shells run through a 12 ga smoother than plastic will. The powder charge for 12 ga is much smaller than it is for .50 BMG, so the shells don't deform and can be reloaded almost indefinitely.
so would a normal shotgun reloader be able do the job or would u need a speacial setup
It's all done by hand, but for safety reasons, I won't explain it here. I'm sure that if you were to utilize the internet and some reloading tables, you could figure it out on your own though.
Your gun's owner's manual specifies to only use ammo that is loaded to SAAMI specifications though, so be sure to follow those recommendations.

We've been brought to the brink of war with Mexico and civil unrest over abusive government tactics against its own people threatens to boil over into outright rebellion inside our own borders. All of this leads me to ask, "Why aren't we "following the money" ? Rather than all the monkey shines over "interdicting guns" why aren't we "interdicting" drug money" ?
Yes, there's a lot of drugs being smuggled into the U.S. by a variety of methods. But drugs are low-volume products. Money/cash/lucre OTOH is "high volume". IOW, if a pickup tire stuffed with cocaine makes it in there has to be several much larger truck tires' full of cash going out, or the cartels are out of business. So how are the cartels getting their profits out of the country ?
Are we willing to accept our government, (which has found and prosecuted cases involving the hiding of a few tens of thousands of dollars ) can't track millions of dollars being shipped south ? Why can't we starve the cartels ? I can't believe its because we lack the technology. And I can't believe its because we lack the LE "tools". We've "given" (willing or no), our government access to every aspect of our lives from medical records to financial transactions to our most private thoughts/amusements. So why can't we track drug money going to the cartels ?
Yeah, I can name a dozen reasons "why not" offhand. But perhaps its past time Americans - and gun owners in particular - demanded a "quid pro quo" from our government. I.e. that every new gun restriction be counterbalanced with an equal restriction on the "money" river. That every gun prosecution be counterbalanced with a prosecution for "drug money trafficking".
What say y'all ? >MW

Do you really want the federal government going into more of your financial transactions? The cartels are getting their money by laundering it, as well as physically transporting it. But what your suggesting would give the feds a reason to monitor more and more private transactions, electronically and cash.
"Good people drink good beer."
Hunter S. Thompson
They won't follow the money cause it leads back here...
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931 2005
They already follow our financial transactions. I've known a couple guys, they get more than $400 in an account it gets seized for back child support. Deposit 10 grand in cash, see what happens.
maybe they are catching some of the money. Maybe its finders-keepers. maybe they need money sniffing dogs?
Just walking on the edge of of my grave.
I have no doubt that some of the cartel money is going south electronically, but i seriously doubt it is the majority of the cash flow.
Perrsonally, i wouldn't have a huge problem with the federalis monitoring every transaction that takes cash out of this country, especially those headed to the Caribbean or mexico. There are probably billions of ILLEGALLY aquired dollars being sent south by the millions of illegal aliens from their stolen jobs to their semi-abandoned families; each and every dollar they send home should be confiscated, whether it be by western union or postal money order (a bit harder to get).
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
The simple answer is ...We already are. Interdiction officers stop both north an d south bound traffic. Millions are siezed each year. That is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of cash that gets across the border, just like the amount of drugs we catch is a fraction of what comes in.
FBI, DEA, Secret Service and ATF investigate all kiinds of financial transactions. The question is, what happens to the money. They could balance the budget with all that south bound cash.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.

It would be nice if the feds could do at least as good a job on the Cartels as they seem to do on private citizens. I know when you have mail sacks of cash you have lots to friends where it counts. >MW

Historical Traveler Reviews Aston Mahana At Kaanapali Lahaina
Loved it!
We loved our beachfront 1st floor accomodations at the Mahana (unit 115)!! We were married on Maui, so this was also a honeymoon as well as a vacation. We enjoyed how quiet the Mahana was. On one side is the Maui Kai, but on the other side there are no hotels for about a half mile, so it's very quiet and private. The Star Market is literally walking distance so that's also extremely convenient when you consider Safeway in Lahaina is the only other (full) market but it's 5-10 minute drive back to Lahaina Cannery Mall. I agree it's not the best beach on Maui but if you like laying out on comfy lounge chairs on cool green grass, this is your place! If you do want to go into the ocean (where there's less rocks) just grab your towel and take a short stroll and there you are. The best of both worlds. I wouldn't suggest this place for families that are looking for one of those big resorts where they have room service, valet parking, or hotel restaurants on site. Also there are no huge swimming pools w/pool-side swim up bar here, but there is a very clean pool there. (no shallow 'kiddie' pool) HOWEVER, I highly recommend the Mahana if you want comfy beach front accomodatoins and peace and quiet away from the huge 'valet-only' resorts you can sometimes get lost in. We found this great place at www.mauiloding.com (I highly recommended checking this website out) Mahalo!
Pleasantly Pleased
My husband I and I stayed at the Aston Mahana for our honeymoon in Novemeber 2001. I just read more recent reviews of the hotel and things haven't seemed to change. Still nice and a good deal. We were very happy with our room which was an ocen view. Lovely sunsets. The rooms were very nice and clean. We especailly liked the fact they had a kitchenette, with fridge, stove, along with washer and dryer. The hotel even supplied you with Laundry soap! The hotel seemed to attract older, retired individuals though, we are in our 20's. We didn't mind the fact it was a bit more quiet and peaceful than other hotels which may have attracted younger vacationers. There is no restaurant at the Mahna, but the Embassy-the big pink hotel next door, has a snack bar and drink bar with nightly live music. I reccomend a MOLAKAI MONKEY from the bar----YUMMMMY! Compared to the Embassy and other hotels we went to in on Maui, the Mahana wasn't AS impressive, but the prices were more appealing. Staff was very friendly and they had a travel desk in the lobby that could help you book tours etc. on the island. We did have a gecko (a little lizard) in our hotel room. They are all over outside and won't hurt anyone. We believe it must have gotten in when the maids came. My husband just picked it up and threw it outside. No harm done!
We HAVE to tell anyone reading this, to go to Erics Seafood Grotto to dine (the front desk recommend it) Food is absolutly wonderful---and very reasonable prices, with fantastic service! TRUST US--we went there 4 times within our 11 day stay on Maui!
Great place to stay
My wife & I stayed at the Mahana in April of 2003. We had a one bedroom ocean front on the 11th floor, the room was excellent (very clean & well kept). The view was spectacular off the patio, especially at sunset (the sun would set right between Lanai & Molokai). The apt. also came with a washer & dryer, & a full kitchen, this is great for those of you who like save money & cook yourself. They also have 2 large gas BBQ's next to the pool. If you want to eat out there is a good restaurant for breakfast at the Kaanapali Shores (2 hotels up the beach) & Whalers Village is a short drive away for lunch or Dinner. The beach on the other hand is not the best swimming or surfing beach (reef right of the cost & shore break, very shallow) But there was some good snorkeling if you swim out a little ways (about 50 yards) to deeper water (I had a really cool encounter with some sea turtles). If you want to swim you can walk down towards black rock (about 1 mile) its a nice walk along the beach, the snorkeling down there is good too.
Anyhow I could go on forever, we loved this place & will defiantly stay here again in the future. By far this is the best value on the island that I have found so far.
Looking for a deal? We loved the Mahana!!!
The Mahana is older, but beautiful! The view from our room was breathtaking. If you like an ocean view, sea-turtles and seals this is a great one because the resort has them living right off the beach, and the beach is feet from your living room window. May I also mention that the living room walls are windows? It was nice and quiet, if you needed some excitement a quick walk to the Embassy next door did the trick. We would definatly stay here again!!! A+++++
Would LOVE to RETURN!
We loved our two bedroom suite at the Aston Mahana . It was decorated very nice and had all the comforts of home. The big windows on two sides show a wonderful view. The view was beautiful of the ocean and was just a few feet from shore. Parking was close to the entrance and everything was clean. I was so comfortable inside that I was almost content to stay inside, but of course we wanted to see everything we could. Of course we would have preferred a better rate and maybe they have times where there are lower prices.I would like the same suite if we ever get to return. Loved the whole stay in Maui! It has been just over a year since we were there and we still miss everything! Thanks for the Memories!
3rd time a charm
This was going to be my wifes and my 3rd visit to Maui. The last one was 8 years ago and we were cashing in 180K delta points to get there with our friend Ladda. I had started planning back in January for a May trip and had originally booked the Kaanapali Shores for our 8 day visit to Maui. I kept reading some mixed reviews on the Trip Advisor and decided to call our booking agent, Dave at Royal Hawaiian Condos. He said that the place was in need of some upgrades and had rebooked others with the same concern. I am really glad he suggested the Mahana. It was better than we had expected. We booked a 2 bedroom (2 bath) end unit on the 4th floor. The views from the lanai were spectacular with Lanai on the left and Molokai on the right. The rooms were tastefully decorated and we felt very comfortable staying there. Everything we needed was there in the kitchen and we would eat breakfast (on the lanai) and dinner there. (There is a STAR supermarket just down the street) We had lunches out while we were sightseeing or golfing. Daily house cleaning is also provided and the washer/dryer is a real plus. Most of the other hotels charge for parking but the Mahana is free. The beach is very close (60 ?) and there is a reef there but a few hundred feet in either direction is an excellent beach for swimming and snorkeling and its a 15 minute walk to the Sheraton at Black Rock. Kapalua beach is 10 min down the road and because of limited parking its never crowded. We have stayed at the Hyatt and Stouffers (now gone) in Wailea and they had wonderful facilities but this by far was our best experience in Maui and will definitely rebook the next time we come back.
Very nice
Like the reviewer below, I too am reluctant to pass the word on this place for fear it gets mobbed. But I second the kudos: great location, nicely furnished, clean, spectacular views. Rainbows and whales every morning. Beach is a little dangerous and when it is windy, the blowing sand has a hell of a sting. However, there are several nice, protected swimming areas within a few minutes drive so that is no big deal. It was lovely to sit on the balcomy eating breakfast (supermarket is a short walk) while watching whales breach and rainbows move closer and closer to shore as the sun rises in the morning sky. Great sounds, too, since you are almost right on top of the waves. When they say "oceanfront" they really mean it! I would go back at the price. (Tip for frequent flyers: You can book the place through aavacations.com and collect 3,000 bonus miles.)
Home sweet Home
We were originally booked at the Royal Lahaina but decided to opt for a condo instead, as we had read disappointing reviews on the Royal Lahaina. So we spent two glorious weeks at the Mahana! In my opinion we had the best ocean view than any other big resort could offer. Whales every morning, turtles, Lanai, Molokai and the awesome colors of the sea were the treats that we discovered from our balcony. The full moon hitting the ocean was a bonus too. Beautiful sunsets (no sunrise) were worth the money. A clean buildling and friendly staff. The pool is average but I was hardly in it. The major drawbacks are the beach and no jacuzzi. The ocean in front of the Mahana contains a coral reef so you can't swim there (snorkel, yes) which means you have to walk 100 yards to the left or right to find a swimming spot. The beach itself isn't wonderful but nice for a stroll. The best beaches are in front of the Royal Lahaina and Big Beach in Wailea.Eat out as little as you can because everything is VERY expensive.For some great music and a nice cafe, check out Java Jazz at the strip mall that is across from the Kaanapali Shores. Awesome smoothies and friendly staff.I would definately stay at the Mahana again. The convenience of a kitchenette and washer/dryer was the best part. Okay the whales were the best but they are only around Dec-May. Free parking and plenty of spots!!ENJOY! Rent a car and tour the island like we did!! You won't regret it!
A great place to stay away from city craziness
The facality and staff made our week stay a true pleasure. The veiw of both Islands from the bedroom and living area was amazing. The veiw out of the breeze doors to the mountain side was full of rainbows and color inthe fields tat lay upon them. When we needed assistance with tours and basic info for getting around the activities desk staff was very helpful and polite. If the spirit of ALOHA is what you search please make your reservations today.
Hidden Gem
I wasn't sure whether to write this review. Being selfish, I don't want the whole world to know about this hidden gem.
We booked a room in Mahana from web. We chose Mahana mostly because it's not very expensive and it was the only one that featured 360 degree video on website. The fact that tripadvisor doesn't have any one single review and ranks it quite low made us quite worried at beginning. But it looked quite good on web. So we decided to take it. The room turned out to be much better than we expected.
The place is next to Embassy at Kaanapali shores. It's a bit old but still kept tidy. Every room is at ocean front and has fantastic view of Pacific Ocean. Rooms are recently upgraded with new bigger ceiling to floor windows. They offer great panoramic view both in living room and balcony. View is simply fantastic.
Mahana has its own beach and swimming pool. There is nothing fancy about it. It's not very big. But it's ideal for a simple walk on beach. Waves are too big in winter to do serious snorkeling. There are some people surfing though.
The two Mahana buildings sit at the end of a very small road that passes by Embassy. It's quiet at night. This could be a good or bad thing, depending on your need. If you either have a couple of 5 year olds, or want to hang out in a bar at night, you'd better stay at its Embassy neighbor or some other big complex hotels one or two exits away on hwy 30. Those big guys (Hyatt, Westin, Sheraton, ...) have many more activities and restaurants. But if you are just like us, who prefer quiet night at balcony with sea breeze, Mahana is the place to be.
Front desk is very nice and helpful. Even housekeeping staff is friendly too.
There were a couple of things worthy noting though.
Tide could be big at night. This may affect your sleep if you have sleeping problem. It could improve your sleep, or disturb yours.
They were doing some window work during day time. (December 2002). It was not a pleasant experience when you sit in front of windows and watched ocean when suddenly two workers showed up before you.
Some appliances/furniture may need a upgrade. They are far from broken yet. But it'll be better to have newer stuff. These are individually owned. So each room may be different.
In short, Mahana is perfect for those who'd like a romantic getaway with a great view but don't want to spend big bucks to upgrade from garden view to ocean view, or even partial ocean view.

Maui, Day 4: the road to Hana
... We weren't sure if we should continue past Hana or turn around since the rental car company map said don't drive any further because of the poor road conditions. But the guide book said it was just a little gravelly and bumpy for about 12 miles and then fine. So we decided to get confirmation from the Travassa barmaid who confirmed what the book said.
Once past Hana, our next stop was a really nice medium-sized waterfall with a pool at the bottom ...

San Antonio Spurs "Boring" Label Outdated With This Team
As the San Antonio Spurs get ready to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals, the moans from casual basketball fans is aimed at San Antonio once again. How can anyone enjoy watching a defensive minded basketball team bore their way into the NBA Finals? Of course, the response this year is that they will not play that type of basketball.
The Spurs have now won 18 games in a row, including eight in the first two rounds of the playoffs. They are a model franchise with four Championships in the last 12 years. Tony Parker, in 2012, had his best year as a pro and was complemented by long- time teammates Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobli. A cast that includes Richard Jefferson, Boris Diaw, Stephen Jackson and DeJaun Blair has allowed the Spurs to balance their game and resulted, this year, in a tie for the best record in the league.
Nothing about this team speaks boring. They run their game like the best college programs in the country. Sure, they do not dunk as much or waste their energy with huge out of bounds shots, but they control the other team and score points. This Spurs team fast breaks, shoots three pointers and controls the paint. They average over 100 points a game and have four players scoring double digits every game in the playoffs.
During both the regular season and the postseason, the Spurs have averaged more points than the Thunder. They also averaged five more assists per contest. Greg Poppovich and company have the experience, and now the rest, to compete with the Thunder for the title. The Spurs plan to beat the Thunder at their own offensive game.
With what is likely to be the most exciting series in the 2012 NBA Playoffs, the Spurs look to win at their own game. Poppovich made sacrifices during the regular season to make sure that his older players, which include three-time final MVP Tim Duncan, have enough to make it through the postseason. If the Thunder hopes to stop them, they must check their egos at the door. Because, celebrating after an early three pointer exhibits enough hesitation for the Spurs to make it to the other basket.

KFR Tells Krista Goodbye
…and it got a little weird!
…and it got a little weird!
It was Free Lunch Friday on a Monday.
Is your couch so hideous that even the slipcover isn't helping?
This is truly a bittersweet moment for me.
Village of Paw Paw is doing away with the reverse angle parking!
Diane and Keith have always been a big part of Krista's life since she moved here.
...and it got a little weird!
Congratulations to Bangor H.S.'s Devon Kozel. The sophomore wrestler is this week's 103.3 KFR/Meijer H.S. Athlete of the Week.
It's pretty hard to get something past people on April Fool's Day. Unless you wake up in a haze, and aren't quite firing on all cylinders, you can pretty much spot a prank pretty quickly. Many television historians consider this April, 1, 1957 BBC report to be the best hoax ever.
I was absolutely surprised when I saw Diane and Keith walk into the studio this morning! Will surprised me with setting it up and it was just a thrill to chat with them on-air. I think Diane and Keith should join Will in the morning!!!!! Diane is by far the nicest and most talented female radio personalities that I know
This one hits home for me because I have a 2-year-old and a 1-year-old dog and they both want each other's food!
I totally love the doughnut and the soap pranks in this video! Will and I were going to act like my leaving KFR was just a joke. I don't think people would think that was too funny :)
That's right, David Duchovny sings.
Check out what some dude did with the Muppets lip sync! Hahaha. I used to blast this song in my Pontiac Grand Am back in school, thinking I was so cool.
Here is a good example how social media can really teach some people a good lesson!
