Kauai requests for where to buy wine, fish and local proteins and fruit and veg
We haven't been to Kauai for over 13 years and going for spring break this year. Bringing our 16 year old and 12 year old. I have read the recent reviews on restaurants from others and found them helpful. Thank you especially Kathryn. Below is a tentative itinerary and looking on where to buy fresh fish and local proteins and vegetables. We are staying in Lihue the first night as we fly from Calgary to Vancouver and then to Lihue. We don't arrive till 8:30 pm and not sure if we will need dinner. Next day we leave for a week in Princeville at our timeshare. Then back to Poipu for 2 night stay probably at Grand Hyatt.
The farmers markets were great before but kids will not want to drive to one every day. Which ones are the best for variety and open on Friday or Saturday so we can stock up?
We don't have a Costco membership but willing to get one if that will get us some good white wines especially Viognier, Albarino or Sancerre. Or will Longs, ABC or Foodland be okay?
Have booked Merrymans in Poipu for one night for sunset dinner. Thinking of St. Regis for adults only 1 night (looks similar to flying fish restaurant in Aruba)...Kids are not fish eaters or big on Asian (as one has allergy to all treenuts and sesame).
Like Hunt we will not want to drive far at night as we enjoy our wine too much. But will drive in the day..
Thanks in advance.
Hi, gpgja (you need an inoa Hawai'i):
For north shore fish, I like Dolphin's market and Kilauea Fish Market. The Big Save in Hanalei (and everywhere else) is hit and miss, but worth checking. Fish Express in Lihu'e is OK. Koloa fish market is good, can be $$$. Best to shop for fish early, keep on ice til latahs. Also, look for fresh akule out of coolers by the roadside--let your nose decide, hiki no?
Friday market is in Lihue at the stadium, if that's convenient. They're less organic than some other towns. Saturday is in Kekaha, so loooooooooooooooooong drive from Hanalei, but lots of local flavor. Beeg one for variety is Kapa'a. I like Kilauea--small but more organic--mind your manners there.
Hanalei on saturday morning - great greens, lillikoi goat cheese, frozen dark chocolate bananas, meyer lemons, crafts. . . . Get there early before the starting gun goes off at 9:30, like a local to get the best. I also love the one down the road on Tuesday afternoons Waipa
Dolphin is always good for fish. Foodland in Kapaa has a better selection of ahi poke - ask to taste a couple of varieties.
Not sure if this will be of help.
And a really fun hit, BOB would be worth an evening out.
Just got back from Kauai in Sept. and I would suggest a Costco membership...Lihue location has gasoline station as well and it is about .20+ cents a gallon cheaper than other stations on the island.
Their fish department is excellent...wine too.
In Poipu, Grand Hyatt (LOVE) or the Marriott Villas at Waihaio are excellent and I would add Red Salt at Koa Kea resort for breakfast/lunch/dinner.
Josselin's Tapas or Keoki's Paradise for happy hour..great island music.
Merriman's or Beach House but I like the Maui Merriman's better.
There is a Roy's but the Waikiki one blows them all out of the surf.
Dolphins is great for fish in Hanalei.
Hit up Tiki Iniki (Todd Rundgren and wife Michele place) for drinks and apps and I would have a drink at the St. Regis but I'm not all impressed..miss the later.
Med. Gourmet I hear has great food oceanfront place.
Foodland has some of the best Ahi Poke and ask for the freshest made.
Long's Drug in Lihue has great beer deals and souvenirs.
Kauai is by far my fave island with so much Aloha!
Long term Kauai resident here. I live in Kapaa, so most of my recommendations are on this side of the island.
First off...wine/beer/adult beverages. Best price bar none is Costco, and their wine selection is pretty darn good. Longs, (both in Lihue and in Kapaa) have a decent wine selection, but can be hit or miss. The same goes for Foodland in Kapaa, but its amazing that they come up with gems at times. The Foodland in Princeville is a great little supermarket with an electric food collection and pretty good wines as well. There is a newer wine shop in Princeville, but I have not been to it.
Food...we all have our favorites. I can't comment on Josselins in Poipu because he's been a friend of mine for 24 years..I'm biased! You simply can NOT come to Kauai and not go to Hamura's Saimin in Lihue. It's been awarded a James Beard award for heaven's sake. (I always order the special and 2 chicken sticks. In Kapaa the Hukilau Lanai restaurant is really big on Kauai farm to table/locavore kinda stuff. It's not mentioned often here, but it's a decent place.
Farmers markets...I am familiar mostly with the one in Kapaa on Wed afternoon. Great selection of local fruit and veggies. For any of the farmers markets, bring your own bag, bring plenty of 1 dollar bills, and by all means GET THERE EARLY.
For Kapaa, I'd get there at 230, the selling starts and 245, and the popular vendors get sold out pretty quickly. Get their early, see what you like, and stake out the vendors..and buy as soon as the horn goes off. There is also a farmers market in Puhi on the grounds of the local community college that pretty well attended on Saturday mornings.
For poke...I prefer Ara's Sakana-ya in Hanamaulu. Ara and Debbie are hard core in how fresh their stuff is. They make their poke in small batches throughout the day. Most of their customers are locals...Ara only buys his fish from certain fisherman. Fish Express in Lihue is also good (across from Wal Mart)...these are both family owned businesses who cater mostly to local folks...so they sell only the freshest of fish.
I'll put a thumbs up for Tiki Iniki as well...fun concept place, great drink menu, our dinner there was pretty good, my wife's fish was a bit over salted.
Let me also put in a plug for the Hanalei Gourmet right in the middle of Hanalei town. The owner, "Big Tim" has been in the same location for a long time. He's a great guy, and serves an honest sandwich and burger. He has a lot of regular local customers.
If you have any other specific questions about Kauai or what/where/who...just ask. I will do my best to answer any questions. Enjoy your visit here
Great more advice. Love it. Thank you so much Beach Chick, Kathry and Wabi. I this SO likes poke and I will get my nerve this time with these recommendations. Teens will run and hide but I sure we can find something for them. Have been to Roys in Waikiki but don't need it again in Kauai. I think we went to Josselins previously but I love Tapas so may add again. 12 year old like menu at Keoki's and has put in a request.
I have a friend taking me to Costco this Thurs so will invest in membership.
Is Tiki Iniki ok for teens? I'll research Med. Gourmet as would like oceanfront.
We missed Merryman's in Maui two years ago hence why I put on the list.
Not much time in Lihue but maybe hit Hamura's on the Sunday before we fly out that night.
Thanks again everyone for suggestions. I just wish the trip was sooner.
I'm in Calgary and we have had the most snow since I have been here (1990) and really tired of winter. And we get snow in any month. But ususally always sunny here....just cold...
re: gpjba
Tiki Iniki would be fine for teens. It's both a bar and a restaurant, I think the tiki theme would entertain them.
I have not been to the Med Gourmet..but I have heard good things about it. The location of the place is great, right on the ocean past Hanalei. It used to be owned by and called Charo's years ago.
Merriman's on Kauai has been a disappointment to me. Really pricey, small servings, and a lot of pretension. Not many locals go there, and I won't go there again. He does have a more informal place downstairs which serves lunches and stuff...I've heard nice things about it.
By all means try to go to Hamura's, if there is any iconic Kauai eatery, Hamura's is it. There is just something about sitting on those short stools and slurping noodles elbow to elbow with everyone.
Enjoy your stay here!
re: wabi
Downstairs Merriman's would be good for teens, but don't expect amazing pizza and burgers. Especially if you can get great pizza and burgers at home. We found the service horrible and food mediocre. Not a fan of the whole wheat pizza crust or whole wheat bun on the burger. A shame since we love both Merriman's Kapalua and Monkeypod Kitchen in Wailea, both on Maui.
re: Beach Chick
I am not sure...I heard she moved to the mainland. I haven't seen her in many many years. I'll ask around though.
Kaleokahu...I like Brick Oven pizza, and since I live on the east side, I go to the one in Kapaa. It's not bad...but have to confess, I prefer my own, and buy theirs out of convenience..
My opinion and my opinion only....I say this totally tongue in cheek as this is just my own thoughts, no one else's....'WHAT KAUAI NEEDS IS......." 1. a good steakhouse. No one on the island has a steak better than mediocre. You're better grilling your own. 2..a ramen joint. We have saimin, but it's not the same. 3...a great burger place. There are plenty of passable burgers, but no place that stands out above mediocre as well. The Feral Pig in Lihue stands out. Their Feral burger is hit or miss though. I've had soggy buns, a burger that obviously sat on the grill for a while and was then reheated, and pickles that looked like they were pre cooked they were so limp. 4..a good Banh Mi place. We now have a few pho places...but no one has a Banh Mi that stands out.
I could go on. Hawaii has some awesome food, and with a wealth of fresh ingredients and diversity of culture...there is such a potential for great food. Hawaii has the chefs that can harness that energy...the guys who started the New Hawaiian cuisine movement about 25 years ago. Alan Wong, Peter Merriman, Bev Gannon, Sam Choy and Jean Marie Josselin are still putting out great food. With the locavore and farm to table movement growing, there is an intense interest in FRESH food. I think it is a reality on Oahu and Maui, but has yet to catch on entirely on Kauai. It's here, but it hasn't permeated down to most chefs and restaurants here.
Gpjba....sorry for digressing here and causing some thread drift, but it's up to you and other visitors as well as the hard core foodies here on Kauai to drive that movement towards food that is both good and fresh. Vote with your pocketbook.
re: wabi
this recent article may interest you
re: wabi
E wabi, Aloha 'Oe:
Charo's was a very strange place. Kinda Old School like The Bullshed, kinda tried to be something, but always undershot, IMO. Not the best location for traffic, but a GREAT location if there had been something good going on there worth the drive. Hanalei is really pushing it for asking people to drive for basic food, even considering the blight that is Princeville. I still lament that Casa di Amici moved from Kilauea to that terrible spot in Po'ipu.
No aloha for Duane's Ono Char?
I agree Brick Oven isn't world-class pizza, but it is a west-side institution, and always has a good vibe. Do they still give free dough to na keiki? Seems like I remember their garlic crust was 'ono. I have some license plates to send them!
I'm ambivalent on the whole New Hawai'ian movement. Hats off to Jean-Marie and all the others, but I really don't mind if O'ahu and Maui get all the food buzz. I kinda like the fact that most foodies consider Kaua'i to be a backwater.
re: kaleokahu
Hanalei presents a paradigm...It's beautiful, it has such magic....its a long drive from anywhere else on Kauai, and if you're staying out there, its hard to go anywhere else to eat. The flip side of the magic is you have to overcome the laid back surfer hippie pakalolo white boys with dreads granola wheat grass smoothie vibe to consistently produce GOOD food.
Being enthusiastic about food, I'm always looking for that creative spark, or a passion for great food that comes from a great chef.
I guess the upside of Kauai being a backwater is that it remains just under the radar and doesn't get the rampant development like our friends on Maui. I do live here because of Kauai's rural feel,so I guess I can't have both.
I've been edited here (I am a mod on another internet forum...so I respect their actions) because of my enthusiasm for Jean Marie Josselin's restaurant and foods. He is a long term friend of mine, but that friendship stems from his undying enthusiasm to make great food out of Hawaii's fresh ingredients. Whether New Hawaiian cuisine or not, I wish more chefs would embrace and use the abundance and freshness that the land produces here. Great recipes prepared by 2 week old produce shipped from the mainland is just that...2 week old food.
I've digressed from the original thread starters question, but I welcome any discussion of food and restaurants here in Hawaii, and of course on Kauai...for my drift, I once again apologize.
That said, there is some great food to be found here. If I can add one more contribution to this thread it is to point out the web site of some Kauai food enthusiasts who offer food tours here on Kauai. I don't know them personally..but follow them on Facebook. They are really on top of things here on Kauai.
They are worth a look.
re: wabi
Shoots, wabi:
I agree about cooking with fresh when can. And I like Jean-Marie's approach. His autographed copy of "A Taste of Hawai'i" has a place near my stove. Unfortunately, this level of food preparation is out of reach of many in Hawai'i nei (notice where he moved the resto).
I'll take the "laid back surfer hippie pakalolo white boys with dreads granola wheat grass smoothie vibe" any day over what developers do. Defend that 1-lane bridge, aikane.
re: kaleokahu
Thanks wabi and kaleokahu for the food perspectives. SO and I like to cook and since we are staying in Princeville for most of our time and don't want to drink and drive. We are from Calgary and have excellent beef, bison, elk etc and SO also grills extremely well so any recommendation to get good beef as teens are carnivores. We are big supporters of food to table so will be hitting the markets as much as we can.
re: gpjba
Hi, gpjba:
Local pipi (beef) is kinda iffy, IMO--even though the grass is green, it's somewhat nutrient-deficient. The big Kaua'i dairy failed in part because it had to import mainland hay to get the cows to produce.
I would suggest either: (a) bring a cooler of frozen beef with you; or (b) buy your beef at Costco. But for local flavor, it's nice to buy in the Homesteads. Personally, I'd force your keiki to gorge on fish...
re: kaleokahu
I'll be looking for the Kaneshiro farms pork and we may avoid beef based on what I am seeing here. No option to bring beef given the distance. I was LOL when I read force my keiki to eat fish...I know I will and I might be able to get the younger one. I'll report back on that too.
Thanks again Kaleo and Wabi

CNN: Eric Holder's Appearance with Al Sharpton, What Does It Mean?
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to speak at an annual convention of the Rev. Al Sharpton's group, in which Trayvon Martin was a key issue, has been widely panned as a political ploy.
But maybe, just maybe, it's also evidence that the tamer version of the civil rights leader that we've seen in recent years — the syndicated radio host, the MSNBC personality, the White House adviser — is enjoying broader legitimacy these days.
"It certainly is a sign of Sharpton's very close relationship with the White House," said Boyce Watkins, a political analyst and Syracuse University economist who often weighs in on race relations. "But to think there isn't a political calculation involved would be a bit naïve."
Holder opened his Wednesday speech at the National Action Network with high praise for Sharpton, thanking him for being a partner and friend and for his "tireless efforts to speak out for the voiceless, to stand up for the powerless and to shine a light on the problems we must solve, and the promises we must fulfill."
He went on to say that he could not discuss the DOJ investigation into the 17-year-old Martin's killing at the hands of neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman but that Justice Department officials were meeting with Martin's family, local police and the Sanford, Florida, community.
He promised a "thorough and independent review" and said, "If we find evidence of a potential federal criminal civil rights crime, we will take appropriate action. And, at every step, the facts and the law will guide us forward."
Conservative websites quickly blasted Holder and questioned how the attorney general could stand next to a man whose long history of civil disobedience and protest includes allegations of defamation and inciting deadly riots.
A checkered past
In a column on The American Spectator website, titled "Holder is a disgrace … and a very bad man," senior editor Quin Hillyer wrote, "Even I, with my low opinion of Thug-in-General Eric Holder, can't believe he would lavish praise on scofflaw, tax evader, and murderous inciter to violence Al Sharpton in the way Holder did."
A Breitbart.com columnist added of Holder, "Why should he be introduced by Al Sharpton, the man who once incited a race riot in Crown Heights ending in the murder of an Orthodox Jew, the man who pushed the trumped-up Tawana Brawley case, the man who forwarded the false Duke lacrosse rape case, and the man who is currently stirring up trouble in Sanford?"
"He's doing it because that's his job: to pander to extremists like Sharpton. That's why we've heard nothing from the DOJ about the New Black Panthers' bounty — or even their voter intimidation back in 2008."
Sharpton has refused to apologize for his handling of the 1987 Brawley case, despite being found liable for defamation. He apologized for using racially charged language ahead of the 1991 Crown Heights riots but has denied responsibility for any of the violence. Sharpton's involvement in the Duke case was minimal, but he stood behind the lacrosse players' accuser when she was later discredited. The accused students were vindicated

Mr. Holder has enough credibility problems without pandering to Mr. Sharpton, who was also involved in the Freddie's Fashion Mart
violence, stirred up because the proprietor raised the rent on a black tenant. Sharpton failed to reveal that the proprietor HAD to raise the rent, because his black landlord raised his rent.
Might that have made a difference?
It only means one thing–Obama needs a huge Afrikan American turnout in swing states and he needs Sharpton to be one of his leading attack dogs against Afrikan Americans who raise legitimate criticisms such as this:
Keep fighting for us, Rev. Al….Keep hope alive!
It means the movement I started to get people to send the US Justice Department emails, FB messages,, etc. is working. Trayvon Martins rights were violated and there are so many officials in this town who are saying bad things and that is a violation of all our rights. Got to the US Department of Justice page on Facebook and send a message. Keep the hot on them.
If Trayvon had been your family member would you not want an investigation by DOJ? Should people who shoot other people be held accountable? I've been so disappointed to hear that americans feel like this shooting was justified without any kind of investigation. Just let him go. Why?
Obama's re-election campaign is in desperate trouble. Reality is that those Whites that trusted him to really make a difference are clearly disatisfied with the polarization that has actually got worse.
Even the first couple of years when he had a majority in both houses things just didn't get done and now every proposed bill is definitely dead on arrival. It just isn't going to happen. Even if every African American that can legally vote supported him it won't be enough without none Black support. It's that simple, he squandered his potential legacy & he's not getting the vote across the country as when he was all the rage & generated so much hope & excitement. Forget the swing states. They ain't swinging Obama's way.
Speaking of campaign symbolism:
[At a campaign fundraiser earlier today at the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, President Obama had a chance to sit and reflect inside the old Montgomery, Ala., bus on which Rosa Parks made history.
"I just sat in there for a moment and pondered the courage and tenacity that is part of our very recent history but is also part of that long line of folks who sometimes are nameless, oftentimes didn't make the history books, but who constantly insisted on their dignity, their share of the American dream," Obama told donors at a subsequent event in suburban Detroit, according to a print pool reporter on scene.]
Just wondering here what recent "courage and tenacity" the POTUS is comparing to the courage and tenacity of the people involved in the Civil Rights Movement. Clearly he cannot be referring to his selective courage"—defending white damsels in distress (Taylor Swift/Sandra Fluke) while throwing Shirley Sherrod to the wolves.
Then there is the hypocrisy of this president who has facilitated crimes against Afrikan humanity (Tawergha), and who is assaulting the US constitution, sitting in the seat of the Iconic Ancestor Rosa McCauley Parks. Based on the legal position taken by Obama's lawyers, if Mrs. Parks were arrested protesting today she could be strip searched with Obama's support.
[As The Guardian said yesterday: "The decision was a victory for the jails and for the Obama administration, which argued for an across-the-board rule allowing strip-searches of all those entering the general jail population, even those arrested on minor offenses."]
The obvious objective of President Obama is to stifle dissent, without which he would never have become POTUS. This is an absolute disgrace.
He should allow himself to be photographed at the controls of a drone. That would be more appropriate.
[In his first three years, Obama has unleashed 268 covert drone strikes, five times the total George W. Bush ordered during his eight years in office. All told, drones have been used to kill more than 3,000 people designated as terrorists, including at least four U.S. citizens. In the process, according to human rights groups, they have also claimed the lives of more than 800 civilians. Obama's drone program, in fact, amounts to the largest unmanned aerial offensive ever conducted in military history; never have so few killed so many by remote control.]
Why doesn't bowatkin, the writer of this article, come out and tell us what he wants it to mean instead of just stirring up the proverbial pot!
There is nothing dignified about this article in terms of being news worthy because there are no facts to support any wrong doing.
The only wrong doing is this newspaper not letting the Attorney General act in accord with his discretion. The trouble with to many of you is your predilection for trying to control the new breed of people in power to act in accord with the old breed of people who were in power but who are now "Gone With The Wind!"
We don't want you to bait us into a story, we only want you to report on a story!

Vestas increases capacity of massive V164 wind turbine
Danish wind turbine specialist Vestas was already looking to claim the title of the world's largest offshore wind turbine with its proposed V164 that boasts a diameter of 164 m (538 ft). The company claims the V164 was developed with the potential of increasing its turbine size and now it has done just that, upping the capacity from seven to eight megawatts. So not only is the V164 set to boast the largest swept area of any single wind turbine, it will also claim the title for the world's largest capacity wind turbine. Read More

Sharp launches world's biggest LED TV
It might not be as big as the 152-inch plasma TV Panasonic has been parading around, but Sharp is claiming the title of the world's biggest LED TV with the launch of the 90-inch AQUOS LC-90LE745U. Measuring nearly four feet (1.2 m) tall and six feet (1.8 m) across, you'll need a fair chunk of free space to place this monster. Unfortunately, with a retail price of US$10,999.99, you'll also need some pretty deep pockets. Read More

On April 14, 1912, the luxury liner RMS Titanic, just four days into her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City, struck an iceberg and sank with the loss of 1,514 lives. At the time, the massive, state-of-the-art ship was the largest vessel afloat and considered by many to be "virtually unsinkable." Built in Belfast, Northern Ireland by shipbuilding firm Harland and Wolff for the White Star Line at the then-astronomical cost of US$7.5 million (US$171 million in 2012 dollars), the ill-fated Titanic has been a source of pathos and fascination for nearly a century. To bring the remarkable ship's story to countless more future generations (and presumably give the local economy a shot in the arm) the government of Northern Ireland, the Belfast City Council and numerous private groups have pooled resources and created Titanic Belfast, a futuristic, US$160 million, nine-gallery museum - the world's largest exclusively dedicated to the ship and its only voyage. The facility finally opened late last month – just in time for the centennial of the tragedy coming up in a few days. Read More
World's largest paper airplane flies over desert
At a length of 45 feet (13.7 meters), a wingspan of 24 feet (7.3 m), and a weight of 800 pounds (363 kg), Arturo's Desert Eagle is claimed to be the largest paper airplane ever made. Its design was based on that of a much smaller paper airplane, created by 12 year-old Arturo Valdenegro of Tucson, Arizona. Valdenegro was the winner of a contest held by the Pima Air & Space Museum, in which children competed to see whose airplane could fly the farthest. A team of engineers proceeded to recreate his winning plane on a grand scale, and last week managed to fly it after releasing it from a helicopter over the Arizona desert. Read More

I have a single scripts.js file that houses all my main javascript. At the top of the file I've copy & pasted several jQuery plugins that I frequently use. I've merged everything into one file to achieve download efficiency by preventing multiple header calls.
Is it bad to include all plugins in the script file the way I'm doing? I don't know the innards of how jQuery works, but do these plugins all have to somehow "register" with jQuery, which can cause a user's browser to bog down while it does this?
Is it better to just load the plugins as individual, external files on demand using something such as Modernizr.load()?
Most of the plugins I'm using are pretty lightweight, but a few are quite bulky (FlexSlider).

You have probably heard of document databases, like MongoDB, and you may have heard of graph databases, like Neo4j. I am willing to bet you have not heard of very many, if any, Graph-Document databases.

BTW, this is on topic because this pertains to his character. Is he gay? It sounds like it. He's a sociopath from the sounds of it. I'm not bashing but it sounds like it because the only way that he could justify it is if he was gay. If the article is true, then him coming out is the only reason why he would do something like this.
Another theory on this is that ND knew about this and went with it on PR spin. The ratings, the drama, the story... It all worked out for ND even if they didn't win the title. I doubt that ND would in it though.There's a press conference going on and they're calling Manti a victim. Good lord.Edit: Swarbrick says...December 26th: Manti told ND that he received a call while at ESPN awards ceremony in Orlando from the voice of Kekua. He had a convo with AD on the 27th...so why is Deadspin the one uncovering this 3 weeks later?Swarbrick looks like hell, he is sweating and right now he's lying his ass off for damage control. This is sad and hilarious at the same time.

Using Occam's Razor, the simplest theory that explains events can be considered the most likey possibility. Again, his sexual orientation is totally a non-issue to me.

There are guy pros who say this horseshit behind closed doors all the time. It's vital to remember that nothing you do matters unless people like this approve of it. Your sense of fun, fandom, belonging, appearance and artistry only matter if their tiny worldview allows it. I can't believe the amount of shit cosplayers take for daring to express themselves in the manner that makes them happy.
Wow, I'm never buying anything Tony Harris does again. Disgusting.

goddammit goddammit goddammit. Tony Harris, I liked you! I liked your art so much! Starman is my favorite comic! I was looking forward to reading the rest of your shit!
Woah, what the hell.
Tony Effing Harris indeed.
friendly reminder that when the comic fans responded to this he blocked everyone who was critiquing him, refused to back...

Carlyle's Birthplace And Early Homes
There was no road in Scotland or England which I should have been so glad to have walked over as that from Edinburgh to Ecelefechan.
Burns's Land
We left Carlisle at a little past eleven, and within the half-hour were at Gretna Green. Thence we rushed onward into Scotland through a flat and dreary tract of country, consisting mainly of desert and bog.
Highland Mary's Home And Grave
We owe much of our tenderest poesy to the heroines whose charms have attuned the fancy and aroused the impassioned muse of enamoured bards.
Through The Caledonia Canal To Inverness
The sun sets, we pass by Glencoe, and Ben Nevis appears sprinkled with snow ; the bay becomes narrower, and the mass of water, confined amid barren mountains, assumes a tragic appearance.
The Scotch Highlands
These are the Highlands. From Braemar to Perth we journey through them for many Iong miles. It is always a solitude; sometimes five or six valleys in succession are wholly bare, and one may travel for an hour without seeing a tree.
Ben Lomond And The Highland Lakes
It was indeed a glorious walk from Dumbarton to Loch Lomond through this enchanting valley. The air was mild and clear; a few light clouds occasionally crossing the sun chequered the hills with sun and shade.
To The Hebrides
My acquaintance, the Reverend Mr. John Macauley, one of the ministers of Inverary, and brother to our good friend at Calder, came to us this morning, and accompanied us to the castle, where I presented Dr. Johnson to the Duke of Argyle.
Staffa And Iona
To accomplish all this, we have nothing more to do than step on board the steam-packet that lies at the Broomielaw, or great quay at Glasgow.
A Summer Day In Dublin
Before that day, so memorable for joy and sorrow, for rapture at receiving its monarch and tearful grief at losing him, when George IV. came and left the maritime resort of the citizens of Dublin.
Dublin Castle
The building of Dublin Castle—for the residence of the Viceroys retains the term—was commenced by Meiler FitzHenry, Lord Justice of Ireland, in 1205; and finished, fifteen years afterward.
St. Patrick's Cathedral
If few of the public structures of Dublin possess the beauty of age, many of its churches may be classed with the ancient of days. Chief among them all is the Cathedral of St. Patrick.
Limerick is distinguished in history as the city of the violated treaty; and the Shannon, on which it stands, has been aptly termed the King of Island Rivers.
From Belfast To Dublin
One of those iron steamers which navigate the British waters, far inferior to our own in commodious and comfortable arrangements, but strong and safe, received us on board, and at ten o'clock we were on our way to Belfast.
The Giant's Causeway
Finally, about eleven o'clock, we all arrived at the inn dripping with rain, and before a warm fire concluded the adventures of our day in Ireland.
Cork—which is certainly not a city of palaces, but of which the outlets are magnificent. That toward Killarney leads by the Lee, the old Avenue of Mardyke, and the rich green pastures stretching down to the river.
Blarney Castle
Few places in Ireland are more familiar to English ears than Blarney; the notoriety is attributable, first, to the marvellous qualities of its famous stone.
Mucross Abbey
The abbey of Mucross adjoins the pretty village of Cloghreen, [in Kerry] and is in the demesne of Henry Arthur Herbert, Esq., which includes the whole of the peninsula.
From Glenngariff To Killarney
The journey from Glengariff to Kenmare is one of astonishing beauty; and I have seen Killarney since, and am sure that Glengariff loses nothing by comparison with this most famous of lakes.
Bayeux And Its Famous Tapestries
The diligence brought me here from Caen in about two hours and a half. The country, during the whole route, is open, well cultivated, occasionally gently undulating, but generally denuded of trees.
The Chateau Of Henri IV. At Pau
Pau is a pretty city, neat, of gay appearance; but the highway is paved with little round stones, the sidewalks with small sharp pebbles: so the horses walk on the heads of nails and foot-passengers on the points of them.
Chateaux In The Valley Of The Loire
In the beautiful month of October I made a foot excursion along the banks of the Loire, from Orleans to Tours. This luxuriant region is justly called the garden of France.
The Castle of Amboise stands high above the town, like another Acropolis above a smaller Athens; it rises upon the only height visible for some distance.
In 1814 Blois became the last capital of Napoleon's empire, and the chateau walls sheltered the prisoners captured by the imperial army.
The road that leads from Blois to Chambord crosses the Loire by a fine stone bridge, which the inscription sets forth to be the first public work of Louis Philippe.
Chenonceaux is noted chiefly for its chateau, but the little village itself is charming. The houses of the village are not very new, nor very old, but the one long street is most attractive throughout its length.
Above the swift flowing Ariege in their superb setting of mountain and forest are the towers and parapets of the old chateau, in itself enough to make the name and fame of any city. . . .
Mont St. Michel
The promised rivers were before us. So was the Mont, spectral no longer, but nearing with every plunge forward of our sturdy young Percheron.
You must now attend me to the most interesting public building, perhaps all things considered, which is to be seen at Caen. I mean the Abbey of the Holy Trinity, or L'Abbaye aux Dames.
Down The River Bordeaux
The river is so fine that, before going to Bayonne, I have come down as far as Royan. Ships heavy with white sails ascend slowly on both sides of the boat.
The Grand Chartreuse
We took the longest road, which lies through Savoy, on purpose to see a famous monastery, called the Grande Chartreuse, and had no reason to think our time lost.

I already have a Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass but wanted more of the J bass persussive/funk sounds. I love my Jag but am doubly pleased with the Jazz Bass. It played great right out of the box. It looks, sounds, plays and feels like an instrument costing 2-3x+ the price it did.
Was this review helpful to you?

I was skeptical on the single coils. but no need it is dead quiet. it also has decent output, and a maple body insures durability ,longevity and infinite sustain.

Wednesday, health advocates and legislators stood before camera crews, arguing that Vermont's sugary beverage consumption is making us obese. They say a tax will slim waistlines and bulk up health budgets.
"We need to start to bend the curve and deal with this problem in our state and nation," said Rep. David Sharpe, D-Bristol.
Last session, efforts to implement a sugary-beverage tax fizzled in committee. Its new sponsor, Rep. David Sharpe of Bristol, made a few small tweaks and will finalize a draft later this week.
"It may not be a silver bullet, but it is a first step," said Sharpe, D-Bristol.
The measure calls for a 1-cent tax per ounce on sugary beverages. Proponents say that would raise about $27 million. Funds would be split between healthy meals subsidies and covering additional costs for those transferring from state health plans into exchange plans.
The bill doesn't treat all sodas equally; at the moment, diet beverages are exempt. Other exemptions include: alcohol, milk, 100-percent fruit juice and infant formula.
John Sevigny operates DJ's Convenience Store in Montpelier. He says about 25 percent of customers buy soda in the summer months.
"They'll buy it along with their sandwich or sometimes that's all they come in for," Sevigny said.
If the law passes, customers will pay an additional 20 cents on a 20 oz. and nearly 70 cents on a two-liter.
Sevigny expects demand will drop by about 10 percent, as happened when tobacco rates went up, putting his business in jeopardy.
"We're working with such a small margin in the store," he said.
The Beverage Association of Vermont argues that sugar makes up a small percentage of the calories Americans consume each day. Spokespeople say the tax is unfair, especially for those vending along the New Hampshire border and they are circulating a petition.
Health officials counter that sugary beverages provide no health benefit and are simpler to legislate than sugary foods.
A battle may be brewing if the bill doesn't end up bottled up in committee yet again.

Police urge Mercer Islanders to sign up for 'reverse 911'
Mercer Islanders should consider creating a profile in the new "Smart 911" service available to all King County residents.
This service allows people to create "safety profiles" that can be seen by emergency responders when one calls 911. As little or as much information as one wishes can be provided. Information may include address, medical, disability and security information.
When one calls 911 from a cell phone, only the general location of the caller is provided, so registering a school, work and home address can help responders locate callers more easily.
For additional information, go to www.smart911.com. Officer Rob Jira can be contacted for more information by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
