Yet taking a bath in the other kind of suds is just what Kapalua Spa Director Cecilia Hercik recommends. She's developed a Beer Bath based on what European spas have been doing for centuries. |

Not sure if any of you realize this, but back in March–at the same time as that absurd nonsense about shutting down all entertainment at 10pm in Kihei Kalama Village–the Maui County Liquor Commission voted to do something good: they made it legal for people to bring their own bottles of wine into restaurants to drink during dinner or whatever. According to Traci Villarosa, the Liquor Control Department's deputy director, the rule change came at the behest of a member of the public. It's called "corkage," and until March it was legal everywhere in Hawaii except Maui. |

News of the WeirdJuly 11, 2012 | 07:29 AMby Chuck ShepherdCULINARY SLEIGHT OF PAN
Delivering gourmet meals to customers' doors is a fast-growing business model, with chefs in nearly every large modern city trying to cash in. So far, perhaps only London's brand-new Housebites goes the extra step. According to its press release, cited by Huffington Post in June, Housebites not only home-delivers "restaurant quality" cuisine (at the equivalent of about $15 to $20 per entry), but offers an optional dirty-pans service (about $8 extra), lending out the containers in which the food was prepared, thus allowing clients entertaining guests to display "evidence" of their culinary skills and hard work. |

“A shell crashed ashore. In the dun-colored houses along Kahului’s waterfront, stevedores and their women heard the gun again, like a door slamming, and again the crash of the shell. The Jap fired ten rounds in all. Then the submarine disappeared in the night. Announcing this attack on an undefended, unimportant cane-&-pineapple port, the U.S. Navy reported: no casualties, negligible damage.”
-From “Dusk in Kahului,” Time Magazine, Dec. 28, 1941 |
