[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="500"] Puerto Viejo: Keep It Local[/caption] Well, I just don't know what to make of this one. "Puerto Viejo" and "Keep it Local" reads the sticker, which sounds like a plea to stay away from the Costa Rican resort town. It's in a "natural" state right now, catering to adventurers but not really to tourists. There are plans for development, and that has...

LAX.com is sort of a lacrosse superstore. You'd think from the name of course that it has something to do with LA's airport, but no: it's lacrosse sticks all the way down. And it's not just a store, because LAX.c0m actually covers high school and college lacrosse. You can get full rosters, records, even individual stats for lacrosse players. Really, if I was interested in lacrosse at all, w...

Who doesn't like a nice triathlon? A few miles of swimming, a few miles of running, a few miles of biking -- sounds fun, right? Well, except that they're all back-to-back and you're racing hundreds of other dedicated athletes who've completed months of grueling training just to get to the starting line. Plus I can't swim very well. So forget about triathlons for me. And we missed the 2010 M...

What do you think of when you dream of Hawaii? The beach, the palm trees? Surfing? Do you think of Hawaiian music? Most don’t think about that. Hawaiian music is incredibly important to the natives and some don’t like the music. But don’t fret! Someone is out on a mission and this someone happens to be the Hawaii Music Defense Fund. These guys have taken on the task of protecting the fra...

There are so many mysteries in this world!) Located at 8122 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy. Portland, OR 97225, Riders and Sliders should be your first stop in Portland if your wheels are wobbly or your skis aren'...

Songs about New York have a long and storied history. Who hasn't heard someone murder "My Way" at karaoke? And Jay-Z and Alicia Keys remind us that "these streets will make you feel brand new, these lights will inspire you" in "Empire State Of Mind" (mark my words, a contender for Record of the Year at the next Grammys.) The Strokes got in on the act with "New York City Cops," which disappe...

A reader wrote: I love buddhas and I find a connection between Buddhism and surfing so I want one on my new ride. And then wrote back: Here is how I used one of your stickers on my new Becker longboard from Cali... I stuck it on and sprayed it with several coats of artist's acrylic finishing spray to seal it in water tight... Thanks for the great stickers, it really looks great on my boa...

Here's a concept: a restaurant that sells food. Not just the lovely crepes, panini, entrees and salads; Living Foods Market and Cafe Kauai sells fresh organics and sustainably grown produce brought in by local farmers. It's the stuff that chefs use, but you can take it home. And since it's rich Hawaiian soil, they can grow almost anything. Located in the heart of Kukui'ula Village, Living F...
