I tried this place due to the reviews below...the transplanted hawaiians may not have possessed a good palate in the first place...not recommended. Posted by KO on 11/22/2005 Just OK Fast food atmosphere, but OK food - prices are passable. What they lack is sauces and every plate is too full of starch. Would you really order rice AND potato salad if you had a choice? The problem is that too much of the menu is "sort of" Japanese, so it seems not quite right, though it may be very authentic Hawaiian. Posted by Mahalo on 09/02/2005 Just average Basic decor, okay service, the food looks good but tastes just alright. I came thinking I would get a good hawaiian BBQ like those I had enjoyed while a college freshman in Honolulu, but the BBQ chicken here is not even close. The macaroni salad was good but nothing special. The can guava was also just ok. Posted by Uilani on 08/09/2005 Just like being home.. Ask anyone from Hawaii what they miss the most about home and the response is usually "the food". I can't tell you how happy I was to discover that L&L has come to Manhattan! My mouth waters everytime I think about it. They also have Portuguese sausage, which any local knows is a staple to a true local breakfast. I've eaten everything on the menu and I have to agree about the saimin, not the true local style. My only complaint...the one on 8th ave doesn't always play Hawaiian music. Maybe the owners can get some? Posted by Renee on 08/08/2005 The Real Thing Out of all the places claiming they serve Hawaiian food. This place is the only one that knows what the stuff is. After living in Hawaii and missing the food I have found a place that brings the Aloha back into my life. Read More ...

Hawaii Volcano Observatory: (808)

Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano is beginning to stir, new data reveal :10/02 more search options 10/14/02 CONTACT: Mark Shwartz, News Service: (650) 723-9296, mshwartz@stanford.edu COMMENT: Paul Segall, Geophysics: (650) 725-7241, segall@stanford.edu Peter Cervelli, Hawaii Volcano Observatory: (808) 967-8814, pcervelli@usgs.gov EDITORS: For photos and graphics of Mauna Loa volcano, visit the Hawaii Volcano Observatory website at http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov. Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano is beginning to stir, new data reveal Mauna Loa Hawaii's biggest and potentially most destructive volcano is showing signs of life again nearly two decades after its last eruption. Recent geophysical data collected on the surface of the 13,500-foot volcano revealed that Mauna Loa's summit caldera has begun to swell and stretch at a rate of 2 to 2.5 inches a year, according to scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Stanford University. Surface inflation can be a precursor of a volcanic eruption, the scientists warn. "Inflation means that magma is accumulating below the surface, but at this point we don't have the kinds of sophisticated models that would be required to tell us if or when an eruption will occur," said Paul Segall, a professor of geophysics at Stanford who has collaborated with USGS volcanologists in Hawaii since 1990. Located on the Big Island of Hawaii, Mauna Loa or "Long Mountain" in Hawaiian is the largest volcano in the world. Its last eruption occurred in spring 1984 a violent three-week event that produced fast-moving lava flows that came within 4 miles of the city of Hilo. The volcano has remained silent for the past 18 years in sharp contrast to its neighbor, Kilauea, which has been erupting continuously since January 1983. "After the 1984 eruption, Mauna Loa went through nearly a decade of inflation, followed by almost 10 years of deflation," said Peter Cervelli, a geophysicist with the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO). The deflationary period abruptly ended around Mother's Day, May 12, when HVO's global positioning system (GPS) network revealed that the summit had begun to rise and swell. May 12 was the same day that Kilauea's most recent active lava flow began a discovery that scientists say is far from coincidental. "This clearly indicates that there is a connection between the two magma systems," Segall noted. "That's the great thing about Hawaii: It's so incredibly active that just about every year we learn something new." GPS stations HVO maintains several GPS stations on Mauna Loa that continuously record their positions using information transmitted from orbiting satellites. The around-the-clock satellite data allow scientists to measure how far the GPS stations have moved and thus determine if the volcano is expanding or contracting. Cervelli, who earned his doctorate at Stanford last year, said the university has loaned HVO eight additional GPS stations to monitor the volcano. Because of the remote mountaintop location, each instrument can cost up to $20,000 to install. Segall's research on the Big Island is funded through a National Science Foundation grant. "Until recently, Stanford's research in Hawaii has been primarily on Kilauea, but when Mauna Loa started to show renewed activity in late spring, Paul [Segall] agreed to lend us four of his continuous GPS receivers," Cervelli explained. "We are holding four more Stanford instruments in reserve to be deployed as conditions warrant." Cervelli and his USGS colleagues will work with Segall to interpret the new GPS data as they become available. "We see this as an opportunity to watch the volcano evolve through an entire eruptive period from early awakening to actual eruption," Cervelli said. "If the recent activity does culminate in an eruption, this will be the first time that a Mauna Loa eruption is imaged with precise clarity. Without Stanford's help, this would not be possible." History of destruction Mauna Loa has erupted 33 times since 1843, spewing out enough lava to cover 40 percent of the Big Island. The most destructive eruption in recorded history occurred in 1950, when lava raced to the sea at speeds up to 5 miles an hour destroying homes, businesses, roads and ranches along the way. Despite the volcano's destructive potential, the USGS estimates that more than $2.3 billion has been invested in new construction along Mauna Loa's slopes since the 1984 eruption. "Mauna Loa is capable of erupting huge volumes of lava in a relatively short period of time, and the flows can reach great distances," Segall observed. "It presents a more significant safety hazard than Kilauea." Cervelli echoed that concern: "There has been a substantial amount of development on what has historically been the most hazardous part of Mauna Loa its southwest rift zone above South Point. Though lava flows can reach Hilo on the eastern side of the island and the Gold Coast resorts of Kona in the west, flows are much more likely to inundate the subdivisions in the southwest rift zone and possibly without much warning." Increased earthquake activity is another indication that magma is rising to the surface. "Seismicity does seem to be picking up," Cervelli noted, "but at this point we are not issuing a public warning. Instead, we are asking that the people of Hawaii remind themselves that they live among the world's most active volcanoes." -30- By Mark Shwartz

Of all the animals represented on Hawaiian shirts, the fish is perhaps the most popular. Hawaiian fish shirts remind us of the beauty and grandeur of the ocean and the tropical paradise that is its jewel. Hawaiian fish shirts often feature species of fish found only in the waters off the Hawaiian islands. Such fish are the ultimate animal symbol of Hawaii and are what draw millions of tourists there each year. A chance to bask in the pristine waters of the islands and to snorkel with the unique fish that inhabit those waters is one of the primary draws of Hawaii. Hawaiian Fish Shirts Are Fun and Relaxed Hawaiian fish shirts are an excellent way to relive fond memories, even after the vacation has ended. Whenever you're feeling nostalgic for the warmth and beauty of the islands, simply put on your Hawaiian fish shirt and it's like being back in the islands all over again. You can feel like you're still swimming around those beautiful coral reefs, even in you live in Wisconsin. Many people would not care to make such distinctions, but as an amateur biologist and provider of accurate information, I feel it is my duty to point out that not all Hawaiian fish shirts actually depict fish. Dolphins and whales are not fish at all, but marine mammals. They are actually more closely related to human beings than they are to fish, but they are still wonderful and rare symbols of the island paradise. Conservation of Hawaii's native fish and marine mammal species is the responsibility of each and every one of us. Get all Menswear articles via v. 5.0154 © 2002 - 2006 InfoSearch Media, Inc .

Opportunities for fun are virtually endless. So, what do you want to do first? You might start by checking out the various outdoor sports and other activities that are available on the island. Printer Friendly Version Golf • Horseback Riding • Fishing • Hiking • Windsurfing • Scuba Diving • Camping GOLF Photo by: Nick Galante Some of Hawaii's best golf -- and most challenging golf courses -- are found on Kauai. In addition to several outstanding resort courses, there are also some excellent public courses. What puts all these golf courses in a class above those you might play elsewhere, is their location. Most come with an inspiring ocean view or spectacular mountain backdrop. Click here for more golf info. Go to Golf Courses HORSEBACK RIDING Of all the ways to explore Kauai, from horseback must be among the best. There are scenic trails that follow along the coast. Trips up Hanalei Valley, a place that hasn't changed much in the past one thousand years. Other trails take you to Haupu Valley, along the beach and past the coves of Mahaulepu Beach, or down into Waimea Canyon, known as the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific.' Go to Stables FISHING Kauai is a popular spot for both freshwater and saltwater anglers. Large- and smallmouth bass are taken in Kauai's inland reservoirs. Marlin, ahi, ono, and aku are found in abundance off Kauai's south and east coasts. There also are special charters available that will carry you near the private island of Niihau for giant tuna and marlin. Go to Fishing HIKING Photo by: Kayak Kauai About 10 percent of Kauai is accessible by road. That's great news if you enjoy hiking, because it means there's a lot of island out there waiting to be explored on foot. Of course, before you set out you'll need to know where you're going. Write to the Hawaii Geographic Society, P.O. Box 1698, Honolulu, HI 96806, and ask for their information packet. A good book on the subject, Hawaiian Hiking Trails, by Craig Chisholm, offers trail descriptions by someone who has been there. You can also contact the Sierra Club, Kauai Group at http://www.hi.sierraclub.org/Kauai/kauai.html . Any of the above will prove helpful to your planning. Good maps are also necessary. The University of Hawaii Press Reference Map of Kauai is available from the Hawaii Geographic Society and at bookstores on Kauai. Maps may also be obtained from the State Division of Forestry, P.O. Box 1671, Lihue, Kauai, HI 96766. Three of Kauai's best trails: The Kukui Trail This 5-mile (round trip) trail drops 2,000 feet into spectacular Waimea Canyon, and offers the shortest route to the canyon floor. There's a large swimming hole at the bottom. The trail begins off the Iliau Loop Trail. The Kuilau Ridge Trail This 4.2-mile (round trip) hike offers dramatic views of small waterfalls and a wealth of flora. The trailhead is about a mile beyond the University of Hawaii Agricultural Experimental Station on Route 580. The Kalalau Trail This is the original Hawaiian trail into Kalalau Valley, and offers dramatic views of Na Pali Coast and Kee Beach. It begins at Kee Beach where Highway 56 ends. Two miles inland is Hanakapiai Falls, which cascades 300 feet to a pool below. The trail travels on to Kalalau Valley, and many hikers camp overnight at Hanakapiai and before continuing on the next day. The entire trip is best made by experienced hikers. Go to Land Activities WINDSURFING Anini Beach Park and Kalapaki Beach are both good places for windsurfing, especially Anini Beach because it said to have more consistent wind. On the south coast, Poipu Beach is also an excellent choice. For the more advanced, Haena Beach on the north shore is a great spot. Go to Water Activities SCUBA DIVING Photo by: Kayak Kauai The best diving on Kauai is found along the southern shore because waters are calmer. The water is clear, with visibility averaging about 50 feet, and sea life is abundant. Go to Water Activities CAMPING Photo by: Kayak Kauai Kauai's county and state parks are ideal for camping. Both require permits. Permits for camping at county parks are issued for seven days, and enable you to camp in one location for seven consecutive days - and a total of up to 60 days at all county parks. Permits cost $3 per person per night, with children under 18 free. State park permits are free, and allow camping for five consecutive days. It is suggested that permits for state and county parks be requested up to one year in advance of arrival, especially for popular areas such as the Na Pali coast and Kokee. For other areas, try approximately one month in advance for the winter and six months in advance for the summer. The State Division of Forestry also offers camping permits for sites in the forest reserves.
