Best of Maui Hawaiian Products and Apparel

Ocean Vodka

“OCEAN Organic Vodka is a family effort and a true labor of love. Three generations of our family, The Smiths, have grown up on the beautiful island of Maui, where the Pacific Ocean is our playground and sanctuary. Our family embodies a deep love and respect for the ocean and the natural beauty of our home. This appreciation and the drive to be more eco-conscious, to strive for sustainability, ultimately led to the creation of OCEAN Organic Vodka in 2005.

Twins Fine Art

What happens when a classical Italian sensibility – embracing the Old World traditions of Michelangelo and the Renaissance – meets Hawai’I’s island culture. In the breathtaking collaborative art of twin brothers Marcello and Alessio Bugagiar, the result is not culture-clash, but glorious synthesis.

Mid Pac Tattoos

Mid-Pacific Tattoo started with the flagship location, the yellow plantation house which can be found at 196 Lahainaluna Road, near Front Street in Lahaina. With a couple of years at this successful tattoo studio, we decided to branch out and have a location on Maui’s south shore in Kihei, which is very close to Wailea and Makena. From there more opportunity arose and now we have a total of four top rated tattoo shops, three of which are in Lahaina, West Maui and just a few minutes drive from Kaanapali, Napili, Kapalua and Kahana. With fifteen professional tattoo artists throughout our four tattoo shops, there really is something for everyone. We offer all tattoo styles including American traditional, neotraditional, Polynesian, tribal, realism, geometric, dotwork, color and black and gray tattoo, and many more. We take pride in our work and are proud to have been voted “Best of Maui” by Maui Island Guide & Driving Magazine for many years in a row and “Best Tattoo Shop on Maui” by MauiTime. Our story begins with a dream to live on the beautiful island of Maui and completely envelop the Hawaiian and Polynesian culture through the tradition of tattoo. Tommy, who is the owner and long time tattooer with twenty plus years in the business, moved to Maui in 2006. After meeting his wife Lisa and getting married on Maui they decided to move off island. That didn’t last long! After their two children were born, they realized Maui was where they were meant to be. So in 2010, with a toddler and a baby in tow, they made the move and have never looked back. Make your vacation memories last a lifetime with a new tattoo. We promise, it will be your your favorite Maui permanent souvenir!

ARE CLIMATE SCIENTISTS JUST IN IT FOR THE MONEY?
By Jeff Stark

One of the most enduring memes of the climate change deniers is that climate scientists - climatologists - are united in a global scam to enrich the scientists. They are also responsible, as the meme goes, for the "fake news" that seems always to accompany their "reports." This is a claim and belief that is easy for the deniers. They have no strong connections to science, and often seem to revel in their own ignorance. This is classic conspiracy theorist behavior, easy to believe, and difficult to debunk. It is also beloved beyond belief among those who still believe that President Obama was actually born in some foreign country and groomed from childhood to prepare for the ...MORE ...
