Letters Do the right thing The public is asked to not be de­ceived into doing the wrong thing by the public relations campaign about Waimea Valley.

For the first time the public has the chance to support actual native Hawaiians directly instead of being gamed by those who exploit them by pretending to represent native in­terests.

This is no different than dozens of similar schemes to use tax dollars by flavoring projects with the appear­ance of indigenous concern. Those pushing government purchase in­tend to get federal grants using brownie points earned by going along with state government and by following the examples of Bishop Trust and the state's Office of Hawaiian Affairs and Department of Hawaiian Homelands.

Getting federal assistance with which to appear to take care of what they are now calling the "host cul­ture" has become a multi-million dollar business for Hawai 'i's legions

It's a no-brainer that there aren't any laws to stop actual native Hawaiian true bloods reconnecting with W aimea Valley by owning it.

I would like to comment on the "Tray Chic'' article (Food, 11/16).

We were told at Honolulu Inter­national Airport that for our flight back to the Mainland we could not take anything fresh out of any of the restaurants at the airport onto the plane to eat-no lettuce or tomatoes on the sandwich, no carrot sticks or celery, no apples, bananas, etc.­you get the picture.

It is kind of hard to pack any healthy food to take on the plane that does not include some kind of fresh fruit or vegetable. This hap­pened to us when Delta had a prob­lem with their catering contact and Delta announced that they would be serving no food on our flight back to Atlanta! This announcement was re­peated to us many times at the gate and at the various airport restaurants in the area of the gate.

Is this no longer the case or are you just counting on lax or no en­forcement?

Christine Marks Illinois

Editor's Note: Oops. Ms. Marks is correct, of course. Travelers should not attempt to take fresh fruits or vegetables on Mainland-bound flights. We stand by the bento box part, however.

Gone fishin' I want to thank you for your editori­al on the Honolulu Advertiser's bizarre anti-democratic editorial in which you expose the Advertiser's military connections.

I can confirm from personal expe­rience and after email communica­tions with that paper's editor that when an opinion conflicts with the Advertiser's financial priorities, the Advertiser does not adhere to jour­nalism's prime directive: Don't lie, ferchrissakes !

The week preceding the appear­ance of the editorial (Editorial, 11/30) in which you take them to task, the Advertiser published a full­page editorial endorsing the UARC. That editorial was so full of lies and distortions that I wrote a rebuttal to try to clarify"shinelJc°ts'. in tbe worst

tradition of journalism, the Advertis­er refused to publish my response, and perhaps the responses of other people.

Refusal to publish opinions that contradict their own, even when they have the facts all wrong, shows that the Advertiser is not deserving of community support and any priv­ileges assigned to a real newspaper.

Johnson's role was hon­orary co-chair, a spotlight he shared with surfing luminaries Rochelle Ballard, Pancho Sullivan, Mark Cunningham and seven-time world champion Kelly Slater, all of whom vocally encouraged the attendees to dig deep into their pockets to help preserve the scenic swath of open space.

· Konan the destroyer UNIVERSITY OF HAW AI'I AT MAN°OA INTERIM

CHANCELLOR Denise Konan's announcement that she will not support the proposed University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) may signal the beginning of the c-nd for the controversial plan. During a news conference Monday, Konan said, "I do not recommend proceeding with the UARC contract and will not send it forward to President McClain or the Board of Regents." Ko­nan's decision is in line with a 31-18 vote against the proposal by the Faculty Senate earlier this month. ''While the faculty vote is advisory and not binding, the debate and the vote reflect the di­vision on my campus on this issue," Konan said. ''The contract with the Navy is not supported ... advancing it in the face of this opposition is not in the best interest of our campus."

Konan's decision brings one step closer to conclusion a process that has been acrimonious to say the least. Anti-UARC protesters last year drew national attention with a six-day sit-in at the

Benefits:

"I'd like to think future genera­tions will have the chance to enjoy the opportunities we had," said Sul-

president's office. UH-Manoa civil rights coun­selor Jill Nunokawa described that group as a mix of faculty, students, activists and environ­mentalists, and added, "UARC was the lighten­ing rod that helped to mold the lives of the com­munity against the takeover of our public institu­tion." The aebate has not been bloodless-many suspect former Chancellor Peter Englert lost his job due in part to his handling of the UARC question and Konan's integrity and leadership have been challenged repeatedly by angry anti­UARC faculty members.

In Monday's statement, Konan said UARC supporters tended to be faculty who rely on ex­tramural funding to sustain their research pro­grams and noted that UARC would not represent a significant financial boon to the university. "An additional $10 million ( per year) is not a iarge part of our total research enterprise. Our total ... is at about $360 million," Konan said. ''Military research will continue to be conducted at UHM." She said she wiH continue to support faculty members' right to have academic freedom and

seek funding for their defense-related research. UARC research would be more appropriately

located off-campus due to research space con­straints at UH-Manoa, Konan said. Navy re­search would be embedded on the Manoa cam­pus under the proposed contract-not part of a separate facility as it is at four other UARCs es­tablished during and shortly after World War II.

Later Monday, interim UH President David McClain said he would give "a lot'' of weight to Konan' s decision when he makes his recommen­dation to the Board of Regents. ''I'm agnostic on the issue," McClain said. "The next step in the process is to hold an open informational meeting for the Board of Regents, in which all on our campuses and this community will have a chance to share their perspective on this issue. Some­time after this informational meeting, I will rec- • ommend a course of action to the Regents." That meeting will be held in January, with the board's final decision to follow.

DRAFT GILL NETS ANO Quoting Pericles, railing against our culture of "ridicu­lous celebrity worship" and lamenting laws that make high office inaccessible to all but the wealthy and the cor­rupt, relatively unknown labor attorney Tony Gill bowed out of the Democratic governor's race on Tuesday without ever really having entered it. "I was hoping to put together a campaign this time," Gill said in a statement, "but I won't. Sorry guys, gotta work.".

Given that Gill is signifi­cantly less well-known than Bert Sagum, Democrats will likely survive the loss-the question is how. As the new year looms and the party's most ubiquitous spokesmen are a former radio deejay and an increasingly angry old hip­pie, some are beginning to wonder if anyone will step up to the challenge and take on Gov. Linda Lingle.

The draft-a-Republican movement (Big Island Mayor Harry Kirn) seems to be going nowhere. Now the last gasp of the old machine or, in its own

_ words, the "kiipuna Democ­rat" movement (Gill) looks like a was!, as well. Expect a representative of the younger generation to make the next splash. -Ragnar Carlson

Who's to blame for the bottle bill mess?

Nickel and dimed

RAGNAR CARLSON

S tate auditor Marion Higa released a report last month on the implemen­tation ofHawai'i's new bottle-deposit law. In a

summary of findings some 28 pages long, Higa noted deficiencies that quickly received broad play in the Honolulu daily newspapers, most notably the reliance of redemption centers on their customers to pro­vide a count of the bottles being re­turned. Also well publicized was Riga's critique of the state's "flawed" implementation of the pro­gram, which the report attributes largely to Gov. Linda Lingle's long­standing opposition to the bottle bill.

176, which was passed by the Leg­islature in 2002. While that law ini­tiated a deposit-redemption system, the original act was immediately deemed so unworkable that the Leg­islature spent the next two sessions trying to get it right. Ultimately, it passed Act 241 in 2004.

Was it really irresponsible for the administration to hold off on imple­menting a program whose character and procedures remained the subject of active and ongoing debate, to avoid shooting at what Smith calls a "moving target"? A fair question, it would seem, but for Higa, who after all serves at the pleasure of the Leg­islature and the Democrats who run it, the answer was apparently clear enough. (Smith also notes, without comment, that one of the Legisla­ture's final touches was to move the implementation date forward from Jan. 1, 2005 to Nov.l, 2004.)

Less widely reported were the au­dit's sharp critiques of issues such as the relative scarcity of redemption centers, inconsistent return policies among the centers and changes to scrap-metal recycling programs at The honor system established recycling operations. One of the more disturbing revela-

The general lack of public discus- tions in Riga's audit is the fact that sion of these issues may have been virtually the entire deposit-redemp­related in part to the audit's odd but · . tion system is currently run on the persistent implication that these honor system. The state does not shortcomings are entirely the re- substantively dispute the finding sponsibility of the Department of that distributors, manufacturers and Health, and by extension the gover- importers are required to account for nor. As the state's response to the their deposit-related activities be­audit notes, many of the auditors' cause "the department does not ver­complaints trace back to problems ify that either the data on these [de­with the law itself. Here's a look at posit] forms or the payments re­some points of conflict. ceived are correct." According to

Implementation and timing One might wonder why anyone would seek to audit a massive new state program within weeks of its commencement in the first place. This question of timing represents such a critical point of dispute be­tween the administration and the au­ditor that it is addressed in the first sentence in the audit and leads the state's response. Higa's report opens with the lamentation that "despite more than a two-year lead time ... the Department of Health was not ready to properly and effi­ciently return consumers' deposits." Linda Smith, the governor's chief policy adviser, argues that DOH had just "four months to prepare."

The bone of contention is Ad

the audit, the state paid $10 million in reimbursements and fees to recy­clers in the first half of this year "based on numbers submitted by the redemption centers ... and not veri­fied by the department because it has developed no procedures for do­ing so." Whoa. Coupled with the centers' own inability to audit num­bers given by consumers with large container loads, it's easy to see how fraud could be rampant throughout the system.

DOH attributes the problem in part to a lack of personnel in a criti­cal accounting position, but says the larger issue is the Legislature's cre­ation of a uniquely unworkable and confusing system. Citing what she calls "basic problems in the law," Smith says "the failure to enact a

statute that has retail stores serving as both the sellers and redemption centers" is at the source of the prob­lem. Higa maintains that, whether

· the administration likes it or not, the law is the law.

Confusing procedures Perhaps the program's most obvious debacle has been the limited avail­ability and confusing procedures of recycling centers. The audit team visited 33 facilities throughout the state and found centers "opening late, closing early or not opening at all." Auditors say centers frequently run out of either refund money or re­cycling storage capacity, and that hours of operation are inconvenient for working people. This is obvious­ly a critical problem, one that has led many consumers to give up on the program entirely.

While DOH Director Chiyome Leina 'ala Fukino insists that her team is working on solutions and pressuring redemption centers to op­erate regularly and in accordance with posted hours, Higa maintains that Act 241 empowers DOH to force operators to comply with the law, something it has clearly not yet done.

"Another state tax" Riga's job is to explore whether the executive branch is enforcing the law, and she is correct to point out that lawmaking responsibilities rest neither with her nor with the admin­istration.

If indeed the redemption program is the victim offoot-dragging on the state's part, it clearly must stop. Nevertheless, the audit confirms what most Hawai 'i residents already know-the system is beset by seri­ous problems, many of them beyond the ability of either the auditor or DOH to remedy.

In her summary, Higa notes that many consumers view the new law as a thinly veiled tax hike, "forcing consumers to pay the deposit but making it difficult to get the refund." It's an easy conclusion to reach. But as she is quick to note elsewhere in the report, the responsibility for the law lies not in the hands of her sub­ject, but those of her bosses. •

Is Hawai'i's new cruise ship law worse than the voluntary agreement that it replaced?

ast month, before an audience at the Kea' au Community Center on the Big Island, cruise ship critic Ross Klein dropped a bombshell: The North West CruiseShip Asso­ciation intended to abandon its Memorandum of Under-

standing with the State of Hawai 'i, which limits ,discharges of waste­water and ash by most cruise ships in Hawaiian waters. Although Gov. Linda Lingle had known of the cruise ship group's decision to bail out since September, apparently neither the state nor the cruise industry had publicized the change. Klein was the first to break the news to Hawai 'i's citizens.

A watered-down law The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which has been in effect since 2002, has al­ways had its problems. Since it is an agree­ment, not a law, the state has been powerless to punish violators.

dumping in Penguin Bank off the coast of Moloka'i, the environmentalist and native Hawaiian organization KAHEA released a pamphlet to drum up support for legislation that would create penalties for dumping violations.

'There is no mechanism for enforcement or requirement for compliance ... Nor are any fees levied to cover the direct or indirect costs as­sociated with this booming industry," the pamphlet maintained. 'There (are) no reper­cussions when the industry reported scores of violations in Hawai'i."

In response to such criticism, the state Leg­islature enacted a new cruise ship control law, Act 217, on July 17. But once again, there were problems. KAHEA and other environ­mental groups say cruise industry lobbying left the bill, well, watered down, to the point that it may be even less effective than the MOU that they had once criticized for being toothless.

Klein, a professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland, is well aware of Act 217's shortcomings. In addition to his books­Cruise Ship Blues: The Underside of the Cruise Ship Industry and the just-released Cruise Ship Squeeze: The New Pirates of the Seven Seas-he's authored studies of the in­dustry for the Canadian government He notes that some of Act 217' s terms are weaker than the MOU's. The MOU, for instance, limits wastewater and ash dumping by the big ships to waters four miles beyond the 100-fathom (600 foot) markers on depth charts of waters surrounding the Hawai 'i islands. Act 217 only prohibits such discharges within three miles of the coasts, opening up some areas around and between the islands-waters also used by the states' ocean recreation and fishing indus­tries-as potential dumping grounds.

Klein was in Hawai 'i at the behest of KA-

NWCA president John Hansen to Gov. Lingle. In it, Hansen de­clared that Act 217 had made the MOU "re­dundant and unnecessary," and the cruise ship industry would be "transitioning out of the MOU as of December 31, 2005."

Sewage in the bank Penguin Bank, a.long, broad shelf extending over 20 miles southwest from the western tip of Moloka 'i, is a traditional fishing ground and a gathering place for humpback whales- · and a repeated dumping ground for cruise ships. On Dec. 12, 2003, The Honolulu Adver­tiser reported a series of MOU violations, in­cluding wastewater discharges in Penguin Bank by two ships belonging to Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. On Oct. 29 and Nov. 2, 2002, the liner Radiance of the Seas report­edly discharged ''blackwater" (treated sewage) and "graywater" (wastewater from laundries, dishwashing and bathing facilities, swimming pools, etc.) in the bank's waters. Legend of the Seas did the same on 10 occasions-Nov. 27 and 30 and on Dec. 2, 17 and 20, 2002, as well as on March 19 and April 5, 9, 23 and 24, 2003. The incidents helped fuel the calls that led to the passage of Act 217.

Ironically, under the version of the act that finally passed, the waste dumping that oc­curred in Penguin Bank would not have been considered a violation because it took place more than three miles offshore.

Just as troubling, Act 217 still relies on vol­untary reporting of infractions by the cruise ships themselves. According to Tom Arizumi, who heads the state Department of Health's Environmental Management Division, while the state will still be reliant on self-reporting by the industry, his department could request ship logs to monitor compliance if given area-

son to do so: "It's a federal requirement to log all those things [discharges, etc.] in the ship's log and failure to do so is a federal violation."

"There's zero incentive for the industry to 1

enforce their own laws," says Cha Smith, ex­ecutive director for KAHEA. "There's zero monitoring. The industry reports their own numbers. There's no mechanism for the state to do onboard inspections. At the director's discretion, they can request the reporting doc­uments, but there's no regular reporting schedule."

Even if the cruise industry wasn't solely re­sponsible for monitoring and reporting their own mistakes, there's little that could be done to a company which routinely allows its ships to dump in restricted waters. As it stands now, there are no penalties on the books.

The Department of Health has been entrust­ed with writing those penalties. According to Arizumi, they may not be in place before July 2006. Until then, the state's only recourse would be to seek a court order for injunctive relief for cruise ships to stop the activities.

But what if a company was told to stop and didn't?

"Willful failure to comply with the injunc­tion would infer criminal activity," Arizumi says.

Arizurni did say that he'd been assured that the industry would continue to abide voluntar­ily by the MOU' s operational provisions, but that cruise ships would no longer be required to report any violations in the Marine Waters of the MOU.

Playing by two sets of rules? Charles Toguchi, who heads Charles Toguchi and Associates, which lobbies for the North­West CruiseShip Association in Hawai'i, has

a simple explanation for why Act 217 only prohibits dumping within three miles of shore.

"The state jurisdiction just goes out to three miles," he says. Beyond that range, federal ju-risdiction takes over. •

As for why the industry was jettisoning the MOU, Toguchi offers a sports analogy: "You can't play a football game with two sets of rules. It was for that same reason that we wanted to transition out of that set of rules (the MOU) and put all our efforts into implement­ing the intent of the recent legislation."

On the other hand, he says, the industry intends to "honor the spirit" of the MOU and will continue to avoid some sensitive areas such as Penguin Bank and the Humpback Whale Sanctuary. Toguchi maintains that the industry's record under the MOU is "ex­cellent." ·

When asked about the violations reported in the Advertiser article, Toguchi replies that

ter tlie MOU took effect and that the captain simply hadn't been notified yet. . What the crew didn't know Much of what Toguchi says follows a pattern that Klein outlines for the industry as a whole. "Very often, when there are accidents and spills, it isn't a corporate decision, but corpo­rate decisions are not being translated to the staff in the engine rooms," Klein says. "I

' would think the incentive to cover it up is greatest on the level of the ship."

Asked how corporate management general­ly reacts to such a violation, he replies, "The corporate side will minimize it."

As an example, he cites a March 2003 re­port on the Crystal Harmony, which was per­manently banned from Monterey Bay after allegedly discharging 36,000 gallons of treat­

the article was an example of "how facts can ed bilge, treated sewage and graywater. In be stretched to make it seem like there were this case, Klein says, the captain and chief violations." He says that "many of these in­fractions would not have been violations," since they took place beyond Act 217' s three­mile lirni t.

Toguchi claims that crews involved in the Penguin Banks incidents thought it was OK to release the effluent because it was their usual rule to allow such releases if the ship was more than 12 miles from shore. All the incidents, Toguchi says, involved treated ef-fluent. ·

"Not one gallon of raw sewage had beeh spilled by the industry in state waters since the implementation of the MOU," he says.

He attributes the incidents cited in the Ad-vertiser article to normal adjustment problems in the early days of the MOU. He says that one incident, for instance, involved a ship in­cinerating solid waste while in port the day af-

engineer knew about a corporate promise not to dump in the bay, but "the message hadn't gotten transmitted to the people operating the systems."

Such incidents occur with uncomfortable frequency. Klein mentions a 1999 New York Times article by reporter Douglas Frantz, who discovered that ships had "alternative piping" that would allow oily bilgewater to be dumped directly into the sea bypassing the bilge filtra­tion system.

Engineers reported that they received an end-of-the-year bonus if they came in under budget," Klein says. "They saved $80,000 a year by not using the filters."

According to Klein's website, www.cruise­junkie.com, in 2002, Norwegian Cruise Lines pled guilty to dumping oily bilgewater direct­ly into the sea between 1997 to 2000 and fal-

sifying logbooks to conceal the practice. The company was fined $1 · million and ordered to perform $500,000 worth of community serv­ices. (Norwegian Cruise Lines is the parent of NCL-America, whose Pride of Aloha and Pride of Ameri­ca currently offer inter-island cruis­es in Hawai'i.)

Cruisejunkie.com lists scores of other examples of cruise ship envi­ronmental violations, including an incident in early 2005, when The Honolulu Advertiser reported that the Pride of Aloha had discharged about 70 tons of blackwater into Honolulu Harbor.

The website also reports that Car­nival Cruise Lines has been in­volved in numerous other incidents involving bilgewater and effluent dumping, oil discharges, air pollu­tion violations and falsification of records. In 2002, Carnival pled guilty in a Florida court to repeated oil discharge violations; the compa­ny was fined $9 million and ordered to provide another $9 million in community services.

Carnival subsidiary Holland America has also had its problems, including at least $2,700,000 in fines and restitution for sewage and oil discharges in Alaskan waters. In March ofthis year, West Hawaii To­day reported an incident in Kailua­Kona, when numerous people wit­nessed "brown water" boiling up around Holland America's Staten­dam, leaving a "brown mark'' on the ship's side, shortly before it left har­bor. According to the article, state and Coast Guard officials denied any knowledge that effluent dumping had occurred in this case, and one Department of Health official sug­gested that the ''brown water" might have been bottom muck stirred up by the ship's propellers, although water in the area was 130 feet deep.

Effluent happens. Admittedly, ac­cidents and crimes occur in any in-·­dustry. Toguchi and other cruise ship representatives argue that their industry's overall record is good; at least two companies, Royal Caribbean and Princess Cruises, claim compliance rates in the 99th percentile. Furthermore, these repre­sentatives contend that violations recorded under the MOU pale in comparison with those of land­based sewage plants. But environ­mentalists counter that that the land­based facilities don't operate on the honor system.

The activists generally seem to agree that stronger regulation of the industry is necessary. For them, the question becomes: how?

Leaming what has worked Despite writing a book whose title calls the cruise industry "the New Pirates," Klein maintains that he is neither anti-cruise ship nor an envi­ronmental lobbyist. However, he does offer suggestions on how in­dustry regulations can be improved. While legislative and political ef­forts are often gutted by the indus­try's lobbying efforts, Klein says, court challenges, on the other hand,

"There's zero incentive for the ind us try

to enforce their own laws,"

says Cha Smith, executive director

forKAHEA. "There's zero monitoring. The industry reports their

own numbers. There's no

mechanism for the state

to do onboard . . " inspections .

have been more effective, as have "clear, strong grassroots move­ments," such as the protests in Mon­terey that got the Crystal Harmony banned, or a shopkeepers' strike that dissuaded a cruise ship from making an Alaska village its port of call.

"There are ways to make the smooth running of the shore excur­sions ... quite difficult," he told the audience in Kea'au.

Klein's analysis of how and when violations occur may also suggest ways legislation might be made more effective. If violations and cover ups originate largely on-ship, for instance, then effective legisla­tion logically should provide for on-

ship inspectors and create a means to pay for them. At the Kea 'au meeting, Klein praised Alaska cruise ship legislation that set up en­forceable standards, a monitoring program and a $1 per passenger tax to pay for testing and enforcement. But again, he noted that strong leg­islation such as Alaska's was only possible with the "old style, hard­core grassroots" support.

KAHEA, the Sierra Club and oth­er organizations are working to mo­bilize that support.

"In order to build that political will ... to adequately regulate this in­dustry, legislators are going to need more examples of the problems that the cruise ships cause," says Cha Smith. She also strongly supports a tough new federal cruise ship bill re­cently introduced in Congress.

KAHEA has started a program called "Be the Eyes of the Ocean," which supplies mail-in forms for re­porting suspected cruise ship envi­ronmental violations. The forms are available at www.kahea.org or by calling (808) 524-8220.

Such whistle-blowing can prove to be profitable.

"Individuals whose documenta­tion of dumping leads to fines against a cruise line may be eligible to receive half of any fine that is levied under the Act to Prevent Pol­lution from Ships," announces a note at the bottom of the KAHEA reporting form, which cites one case where passengers videotaped plastic bags being dumped overboard and got to claim shares of the resulting $250,000 fine.

In the end, the people most able to influence the industry's behavior may not be those standing on shore, but the passengers themselves, such as the couple who reported the plas­tic bag dumping. Klein himself is the self professed "cruise junkie," who says he and his wife used to spend up to 50 days a year on cruises.

"After about 200 days on cruise ships, I reached the point where I wanted to start writing about the topic," Klein says. He recalls taking one cruise in which crewmembers all wore "Save the Waves" pins on their uniforms.

"But I would watch every night, having a drink at the bar, as they threw garbage off the stern of the ship," he says.

For Klein, it is not a matter of stopping the cruise industry, but of making it live up to its own PR. He says, "How can I impact the indus­try so that I can go on a cruise ship and not have those moral and ethical dilemmas?" •

•••••••••••••••••• Punkish rock on a rock

This year's Punk on a Rock show-the 6th annual-at Pipeline Cafe on Friday prom- .

ises to deli~er at least some punk, but the lineup looKS more like a metal showcase than a punk gig. The San­ta Cruz outfit Good Riddance will keep it real with their brand of punk rock that, though it flirts with pop sensibilities and hooks, ultimately stays true to the anti-establishment ethos that real punk espouses.

Anti-establishment can accurately be used to describe all the bands on the bill, although over-the-top heavy metal is the milieu in which sliowgo­ers will find themselves. Headlining the show will be Andrew WK, fa­mous for his bloodied nose and synth-metal pseudo anthems that have come to typify commercial beer rock. A seeming caricature, WK is ac­tually fully committed to his philoso­phy of "party first and ask questions later." His "We Want Fun" was fea­tured in jackass, and his ftlthy jeans and plain white T-shirt speak to the degenerate Monday morning beer swiller in all of us.

Bleeding Through takes itself even more seriously. As dark and hateful as any band out there, this band sings, well, screams about love, pain, mur­der and things that are otherwise gen­erally unpleasant. Chances are that the female keyboardist will not be the only one on stage or in the crowd wearing too much mascara.

Most promising among the bands is Valient Thorr, a North Carolina outfit whose music and lyrics hearken to the glory days oflron Maiden and AC/DC. They claim to come from the planet Venus, and play the role with a commitment that sometimes seems campy. Bur they always deliver savage, blistering riffs and beats chat catch audiences by surprise. They've won over legions of fans on the Warped Tour.

So, despite the prevalence of metal at chis year's POR, all of the bands share a punk rock ethic and are deeply committed to their image. And, of course, to the music. -J arnie Winpenny

David Sedaris is a celebrated hu­morist and essayist, a frequent contributor to NPR and The

New Yorker, and the author of the in­credibly funny Me Talk Pretty One Day and, recently, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim. He is also justili.ably famous for his rendition of the Oscar Meyer bologna song as done by Billie Holiday.

In that same holiday spirit, the sat'­donic side of Sedaris sings forth in The SantaLand Diaries, a one-elf show opening at Manoa Valley The­atre Dec. 7. The play, adapted by Joe Mantello from Sedaris' s essays, fol­lows the autobiographi~al hero through his early weeks in the Big Apple when the only job available to him was that of"Crumpet the Elf' at Micy's SantaLand. As with all of Sedaris's work, expect to laugh hard and possibly weep.

But don't be misled. This is not a yuletide gumdrop for the kiddies­no sugarplum fairies or reindeer with light-up noses, but instead a wry, hi­larious, and dyspeptic vision oflech­erous Santas, crying infants, pushy parents, and rigorous "elf training," all drenched in the sharp, witty vine­gar ofSedaris's insight. Directed by Betty Burdick and starring Andrew Meader as Crumpet, the show prom­ises to be a great bah-humbug time for the jolly Scrooges among us and a breacher for all adults craving a healthy dose of insulin during the holiday season.

Jazzmatazz To YOUNG YI, JAZZ IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE. She's the owner of Jazz Minds Art & Cafe, a new spot on Kapi 'olani Boulevard nestled in between the strip clubs and porno shops that the area is better known for. So in contrast, that's probably why she de­cided to make the month-old venue look a bit like her home-com­plete with her personal collection of jazz art, a glass cabinet with per­sonal trinkets in it, an eight-track player complete with the cartridges, and hokey knick-knacks that line the rustic brick walls.

Dress Code: Something spiffy because it's a club, but also comfortable because it's meant to be a home. Soundtrack: From big band and be-bop to Salsa and minimalist If it's jazzy, it's played here, live. Sightings: Rolando Sanchez, anyone who's anyone in the local jazz scene. Signature drinks: Cosmopoli­tans and Manhattans always seem to blend well with the mu-sic's cool, sophisticated vibe. Or maybe a beer to wash down the Korean food.

soul, and she invites anyone who appreciates jazz inside with open arms.

On one recent Saturday night in town, Jazz Minds was going off. The featured act was Rolando Sanchez and his band Salsa Hawaii, and in front of the stage were talented couples twirling around doing the salsa, looking as thdugh they were auditioning for Dancing With The Stars. A couple of nights later, the stage featured be-bop from Si.mun ye. And it's like that six nights a week, a differ­ent live act playing sounds that range from classic and big band to progressive and minimal. •

The one thing that's consistent is the crowd. As the city's only dedicated daily venue for jazz, afi-cionados are flocking here to get

their fix. They range from young to old. And whether they are check­ing out the cool modem sounds of New Jass Quartet or dancing to Latin vibes on the small dance floor, they are always impeccably dressed and have a cool, sophisticated air about them. It's a little bit of a contrast to the homey, take-off-your-shoes-and-relax decor, but it all works since it's a place where jazz heads can get together and in­dulge in their musical passion.

Jazz Minds isn't the typical smoky jazz club-the fresh air certain­ly helps one appreciate the food that's offered on the big menu. It's full-on Korean style-kalbi, BBQ chicken, pupu. The food is pretty good and authentic, and it makes you wonder if it's Young's mother at work behind the stove.

As a venue for up-and-coming jazz musicians to showcase their tal­ent on a regular basis, Jazz Minds is a blessing in a city that prides itself on musical diversity. So whether it's fiery salsa dancing or sim­ply chill music to kick back and relax to, if jazz echoes the beat of your heart, consider Jazz Minds your new home away from home.

SEAN DAVEY

Pillar at the core, master of the edg __ e

INTERVIEW BY JUSTIN BURNETT

The Banzai Pipeline is arguably the most famous wave in the world, and Gerry Lopez is the man who ushered its rise to fame. It was Lopez's cool, effortless style inside the exploding, heavy water guillotine that made getting barreled the holy grail of surfing­no other name is more closely associated with Pipeline. After winning two Pipeline Mas, ters in '72 and '73, Lopez played a Oatwinian role in surfing with the development of his shorter,·tapered Lightning Bolt surfboards. The globetrotting surfer was also a pioneer of Indonesia's waves of perfection, namely G,land and Uluwatu. He's often recognized for his roles in Conan the Barbarian and the cult classic North Shore, but no Hollywood per, formance could bestow the same glory upon him that successfully emerging from tube af, ter impossible watery tube did. The meditative 57 ,year,old currently resides in Bend, Ore., with his wife Toni and son Alex, getting his stoke toe,heeling it in deep powder. Lopez spoke to the Weekly by phone a few days before he flew down to join the other leg, endary Pipe riders to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Pipeline Masters.

You won the Masters in 1973 and then announced your retire­ment. Why? Well, no, actuaj.ly I don't know if I ever announced anything. I wasn't ever much of a competitive surfer, not like the guys are today. I surfed in the first 25 years of that contest, and in the end I was surfing against guys who hadn't even been born when I entered the first one .... There are so many guys who want to be in it, I felt like I was just taking some­body else's place who really wants to be here.

Any forecast on who will win the Masters this year? I figured Kelly (Slater) or Andy (Irons) would be pretty fired up. I'd say there is a good chance one of them is going to take the thing. In the heat of battle, it still is the most prestigious surf contest in the world. Not just those guys, but everyone in the whole event gets pretty damn fued up. Of course, a lot of it depends on luck. Are the waves going to be good, and are the good ones going to go to a particu­lar guy? So you never know, and it makes it exciting like that.

I hear guys who grew up in the same era say how disappointed they are with profes. sional surfers today, that they're too much about public image

-incf c:ompelitfon; not soul surfen'..

Do you agree? There were guys just like that when we were growing up, too. There just weren't that many surfers around in general as there are today. There certainly weren't any that were making the kind of money that someone like Kelly Slater makes .... There is a lot of dissatisfaction in surfing nowadays just because there are so many guys out in the water. Guys aren't, generally speaking, having as good a time as they prob­ably should be. But I don't think that all surfers are like that today and I'd say they are a minority.

Is there a surfer today who reminds you of the old days? A lot of them. One I particularly ad­mire is Rob Machado. I spent some time with him and his attitude and personality is a throwback to the greatest guys I looked up to in my own generation. Like I said, there are lots of soul surfers around in the new generation.

You never find yourself being nos­talgic about the old days? I think about them, but no. I think most surfers, if they are really truly into surfing, they're thinking about the next wave rather than the last one. That is the thing with surfing. It keeps leading you on. You never quite get enough of it or feel like

• .YPV.~~~. 9~ep 9tf~e and do.ne tbt, completely. There is always the

challenge of something more. It's been such a tremendous learning process for me. I've been doing it some 47 years now, and I looked at the first 20 as kind of a test to see if I was really interested in it. After that was when I really felt I started to truly get something out of it, something meaningful.

Besides the revolution in surfboard technology has surfing style changed as well? It's just like it is in any sport, guys go faster and bigger.

Isn't that the buth. My brother can do things on a surfboard that no one was doing when I was a kid. It's kind of routine for them but for someone like me, I'm saying 'Geez, how do they even do that.' •

The East--Wests Center's central Asian textile exhibition delights and inf arms

A stitch in time MARCIA MORSE

C. onsider the space of

a breath, or a second in time. Each so small as to seem ephemeral, but accu-

mulated they come to life, animat­ed and substantial. That is the sense one has when looking at the richly embroidered textiles from the an­cient city of Bukhara in the modern nation of Uzbekistan. Called suzani . (from suzan, the Persian word for needle), they were created, stitch upon countless stitch, for the dowries of daughters, and intended for use as wall hangings or curtains, bedding or table covers.

That such exquisite materials would be put to humble domestic use is part of the more encompassing aesthetic tradition of Islamic art, in which the abundance of color and pattern created a garden of constant delight, a visual feast meant to feed both eye and soul. The nine panels included in this exhibition were orig­inally acquired by Doris Duke for Shangri La, once her Honolulu resi­dence and now an opulent but inti­mate house-museum-full of pattern everywhere on tilework and mo­saics, textiles and ceramics-that

brings together the love of ornament so intrinsic to Islamic art and the nat­ural extravagance of the surrounding gardens and ocean-side setting.

Enduring Threads: Central Asian

Embroidered Textiles, now at the East-West Center Gallery and or­ganized in cooperation with the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art, places these works in a context that tells their story while celebrat­ing the tratlitions and craftsmanship that went into their making. The suzani are a double source of pleas­ure: first, from a distance, their

overall design, most often sugges­tive of a walled garden with a sur­rounding border and a central field of circular floral medallions, has a compelling boldness. Then, up

close, one can revel in the intricate stitchery of dyed silk threads on a cotton ground that may have taken several women up to 18 months to complete, using a combination of chain stitch to create graceful arabesques and complex linear con­tours and couching-longer parallel stitches that create solid areas of rich color. The flowers and floral

motifs that dominate represent, as curators Sharon Littlefield and Michael Schuster note, " ... abun­dance, fertility, well-being, renewal or even the afterlife in its promise of a beautiful paradise."

That vision is seen again and again in other artifacts that further enliven the context in which these textiles are seen, from a pair of painted wooden doors and an illu­minated manuscript to clothing and ceramic ware that reveals the influ­ence of east-west trade along the Silk Route that ran, through Bukhara, between Xian in China and Antioch and Damascus near the Mediterranean.

As with so many old things that •

Look and learn

have experienced extensive use, few examples remain. Duke's col­lection of suzani from the late 19th and early 20th centuries would be difficult to recreate today. The exhi­bition, though, takes us from tradi­tion to modernity with explanatory texts, and photographs by visual ethnographer Hermine Dreyfuss of current textile practices, including those of Dilbar Khalimova, a con­temporary master who is teaching a new generation the traditional prac­tices of h"and-sewing and the use of natural dyes. •

Just about every type of canoe paddle ($115-$245) that's made can be found at Island Paddler: wood, hybrid carbon-balsa, all carbon, balsa, even polyurethane-edged paddles for those who tend to hit the canoe more than the water. Since the appropriate length for the paddle varies with the paddler's height/armspan, it's probably best to go with a gift certificate. Aloha print paddle covers are $25-$27 and decorative koa paddles range from $250-$775. Island Paddler's the one-stop shop for paddling accessories, from Camelbaks and sunscreen to gloves and padded shorts. Ron can even teach you how to rig a fishing pole onto your OC-1 to catch some tasty 'omilu on your next Hawaii Kai run. Is­land Paddler, 716 Kapahulu Ave, Honolulu (737-4854)

BY CATHARINE LO ILLUSTRATIONS BY SOLOMON ENOS

Mother Nature bestowed upon Hawai'i a generous helping of the primal · forces of nature: earth, wind, fire and water. They created the ocean in which we swim, dive and fish, the waves on which we paddle and surf, the

mountains and valleys where we hike and bike, the breezy trades that puff our sails and add romance to sunset strolls on the beach. With all these opportunities available in one place, Hawai'i outdoor enthusiasts can consider themselves the luckiest people in the world. You don't have to look very far out the window to appreciate the rich greens and blues that make our great outdoors so great. Here are some gift ideas for people who love to frolic in the sun-kissed playground that is our big backyard. • .

P.S. As far as stocking stuffers go, note: No surfer ever has too many bars of wax; patch kits, pumps and tubes are indispensable for the adventurous cyclist; energy gels help runners go the distance; fishermen are always looking for a lucky lure; bad golfers need lots of balls; and everyone should keep extra sunscreen in the car.

~oft top Hawai'i's rainy season may be short but those gray, overcast winter days can get cold and dreary withouf the warmth of the sun. Patago­nia's plush synchilla hoody ($70) or pants ($70) are the ideal gifts for the girl who might enjoy snuggling up with a book or a movie on those stormy days when wind howls incessantly. Made from double-sided microdenier polyester fleece that is irresistibly soft to the touch, these

fashionable garments are also great for endur­ing the arctic blasts of air conditioning at movie theaters and supermarkets. Patagonia offers a wide selection of functional and durable outer­wear for all weather conditions, many of them produced from post-consumer and/or post-in, dustrial recycled polyester-what were formerly discarded plastic soda bottles. Patagonia, 66-250 Kamehameha Hwy, Hale'iwa (637-1245)

Peet treats The staff at the The Running Room says that Teva's Elixir Sandal ($39.99/pair) is the most comfprt- ' able slippah out there. Foot doctors recommend it for people who suffer from plantar fasci­atis, the result of too much stress on the arch. The durable sandals feature a compression-molded, cush­iony midsole with encapsulated shock pad, as well as waterproof suede and microban zinc anti-microbial protection.

BY SUE KIYABU

t's been drilled into us since Wal-Mart came to town: Buy local. And what better time to patronize your neighborhood stores than during the Holidays? This year, why not put some of that hard-earned cash back

into the local economy with these locally produced products?

The ~ooJ, the bath and the Snll~~y On an overcast weekend morning at Lanikai Bath and Body, a Japanese magazine crew emerges with several turquoise blue bags full of products. The small shop has only been open six weeks and already there is buzz. In­side, shoppers lap the small shop, noses to the bottle, noses to the soap, taking in each scent. The brainchild of Brook Gramann and Gloria Garvey of the marketing company Brand Strategy Group along with Garvey's son Ian, Lanikai Bath and Body takes its inspiration from

Lanikai beach. "We wanted to create a line that captured the way Lanikai beach makes you feel, that serenity," says Ian Garvey, who runs day-to-day operations. They worked with Maui horticulturalist Denise Diamond to create 18 different scents -and one non~scent-in nearly 100 different products. In addition to lotions, body but­ters, body washes, shampoos and conditioners, Lanikai Bath and Body also features aromatherapy mist and oils and handmade natural soaps. Lanikai Bath and Body, 767 Kailua Road #104, Kailua {262-3260). www.lanikaibathandbody.com The unisex Naupaka line, the mango coconut line and the Lanikai Girl lotion and body wash are also available at Kahala Mandarin Orien­tal Resort Spa.

~!~n~t~PaPm~:lg in Kailua, Geoff Lee's fires are already aglow. At Island Glassworks, he dips a long pole into the furnace and quickly sits down to shape molten glass into what eventually will be a

bowl. Simultaneously, he turns the rod with one hand and pulls out a . shape with a long, tweezer-like instrument with the other. His assis­tant, Emily Thomas, dips a small molten blob into a plate of what looks like blue gravel and heats up the glass. The two meld their

respective pieces together and Lee begins to shape the foot of the bowl. It takes a matter of minutes, and the bright

purple and blue colors emerge translucent and lus­trous. Lee opened the glass studio six months ago

with hopes of encouraging glass art in Hawai'i. "We are the first studio of this kind in Hawai'i," says Lee, who received his MFA from UH-Manoa in 2003. Lee, who has worked as a professional glass blower in Seattle, Ohio and Pennsylvania, grew up in Hawaii Kai and wanted to bring a profes­sional glass studio experience to Hawaii. The studio offers classes - including a class in making your own Christmas ornament -and training to budding enthusiasts and seri­

ous students. In addition to classes, the studio also sells its works. Sake sets, hand-blown tum­

blers, bowls, vases and vessels in many shapes and sizes ($12-$500). www.islandglassworks.co1"l

When Ame Knudson and his wife Keiko had their first daughter, Tabatha, they looked for funky, cute clothing and couldn't find any they liked. So they de­cided to make their own. Moopiland is the result of the efforts. For the past four

rs, Keiko has designed and created 0 01 clothes for kids while Arne devel­

oped the characters. Now, they are branching out and crossing over. Women's tanks featuring trademarked characters and handbags in various styles are all custom made by Keiko. "We started making t-shirts for kids, but adults started asking for them," Knud-son says. "(The design) is cute and it's sweet, but it's got a certain appeal for adults." Girls' ribbon dresses, $38, Women's T-shirts from $24, available at Shasa Emporium (Kahala Mall) and www.moopiland.com

L)oJy art For three years, Michelle Tricca imagined the shot: a business­man throwing caution-and almost everything else-to the wind and crossing King and Bishop Streets with only his surf­board. The shot took only 20 seconds, but fulfilled a longtime ambition. "Three years of anxiety just fell away," Tricca says. Tricca, who lived on O'ahu for eight years, has now put the image, "Going Surfing," on a T-shirt. Tricca's company, called Mo-T's after a childhood nickname, features T-shirts for men, women and children. The 14 images come from her work and travels as a photojournalist and focus largely on images of re­flecting sand, surf and sea. Tricca, who now resides in Florida, created her own photo-transfer process and makes each cotton T-shirt by hand. "My passion is photography," Tricca says. "I see (t-shirts) as another canvas for my photography." www.mo­ts.com, www.alohasurfgear.com

k>~a wear Like many students, Laurie Chee, 25, wasn't sure what she wanted to do after college gradu­ation. She came back from Santa Clara Univer­siry in 2003 with a degree in English and fine arts, but without clariry for her intended pro­fession. She started practicing yoga and designed a t-shirt to wear to class. Her design impressed the instructor, who offered to sell her designs at the studio. Soon, a friend from class opened a yoga supply store, and a busi­ness was born. "I always knew I would go into business for myself," says Chee. Chee studied textile design in Italy and incorporates hand dying, batik dying and screen printing in her work. Her yoga line, Lily Lotus, is now in stores across the country. "It seems like a new door opened up just when I was ready," Chee says. "I wouldn't have been ready for this a year ago, but now I am." Prices vary from store to store, available at Off the Mat, Koko Cabana,Jasmine Yoga, Marqet, Silver Moon Emporium, Kailua Beachwalk. www.lilylo­tushawaii.com

Vired Kalani Wilson studied to be a sculptor, but the Hawai'i native found a living working in construction. While on jobsites, he would pick up scrap left by electricians and create different shapes. Originally, he constructed his forms in 2-D, but hit upon a three-di­mensional wire shape that found an audi­ence: a football-sized copper wire shark. His love of the ocean influences his work and Wilson continues to create larger pieces and others-like a Hawaiian turtle. Wilson esti­mates he's made "hundreds of (sharks) for family and friends." He's now selling his sculptures ($25 for the shark), which he considers a protorype for a large-scale foun­tain. "I think of the water filling out the form of the shark."

Questions & Answers About Our Environment

Dear Earth Talk: What's better for the envi­ronment, a fake or real Christmas tree?

- R.M. Brandt, Nutley, NJ

warns that fake trees "may shed lead-laced dust, which may cover branches or shower gifts and the floor below the tree." So heed the ad­vice of the label on your fake tree telling you to avoid inhaling or eating any dust or parts that may come loose.

Sell or buy your UH textbooks on your own time with UH Books at "'ike pono, limited.

While there is no crystal clear answer to the age-old "real versus fake" Christmas tree de­bate, most environmentalists, "tree-huggers" among them, would agree that real trees are the better choice, at least from a personal and public health standpoint. Some might make a case for fake trees, because they are re-used every year and thus don't generate the waste of their real counterparts. But fake trees are made with polyvinyl chloride (PVC, otherwise known as vinyl), one of the most environmentally of­fensive forms of non-renewable, petroleum­derived plastic.

The primary downside of real Christmas trees is that, because they are farmed as agricultural products, they often require repeated applica­tions of pesticides over their typical eight-year life cycles. Therefore, while they are growing­and then again once they are discarded-they may contribute to pollution of local watersheds. Beyond the run-off issue, the sheer numbers of trees that get discarded after every holiday can be a big waste issue for municipalities that aren't prepared to mulch them for compost.

Furthermore, several known carcinogens, including dioxin, ethylene dichloride and vinyl chloride, are generated during the production of PVC, polluting neighborhoods located near factory sites. Most of those factory sites are actually in China, from where 85 percent of the fake trees sold in North America originate. La­bor standards there don't adequately protect workers from the dangerous chemicals they are handling.

In addition to PVC, fake trees contain lead and other additives designed to make the oth­erwise rigid PVC more malleable. Unfortunately many of these additives have been linked to liver, kidney, neurological and reproductive system damage in lab studies on animals. The Children's Health Environmental Coalition

The most eco-friendly way to enjoy a Christ­mas tree is to buy a live tree with its roots in­tact from a local grower, and then replant it in your yard once the holiday has passed. Howev­er, since trees are dormant in the winter, live trees should spend no more than a week in­doors lest they "wake up" and begin to grow again in the warmth of your home. If this hap­pens there is a good chance the tree will not survive once it is returned to the cold winter outdoors and replanted.

RYAN SENAGA

Microsoft's sleek, sexy gaming machine is mighty seductive

Popping out of the Box RYAN SENAGA

A mid the prerequisite hype, the monster publicity machine, and the joystick pun­ditry regarding the

Xbox 360 as first blood in the up­coming video game console wars, the question remains, was it worth all those hours traveling from Wal­Mart to Circuit City to Best Buy and eventually to Costco to stand in line for hours?

X marks the spot: Don't let the smaller size fool you. The new XBOX is bigger and badder than its predecessor.

As much as it hurts to give the Evil Empire · a compliment, Mi­crosoft finally got it right. The 360 is sleek, it's sexy and it definitely is the most powerful video game sys­tem that ever was. At least until Sony unleashes the third Playstation next year.

It's much smaller than the origi­nal Xbox. As a diehard Sony propo­nent once said about the controllers, "They're so huge; they were made for Finnish people!" Proqlem solved here; the controllers are compact, the button configuration is less cum­bersome, and being wireless is a Buddha-send. (A rechargeable bat­tery is a must, though.)

There are some useless bells and whistles. Changeable faceplates­really who cares about changing the skin of your console unless you' re a feng shui freak? Also included with the premium package is a remote control for the system. Whoopee. The play-and-charge peripheral for the controller's battery would've been a more practical inclusion.

The real necessary piece of hard­ware in the premium edition is the 20-gig hard drive. The storage de­vice is necessary_to download good­ies from Xbox Live, so the cheaper Core System, which only comes with a wired controller and an elec­trical plug, is basically useless. To take full advantage of the 360' s ca­pabilities, one must be able to con­nect to the Net and download con­tent and updates. Without the hard drive and a broadband connection, the 360 is essentially an iPod w·ith­out iTunes. (The premium system comes with "Xbox Live Silver" that includes a free one-month trial for the Gold membership. Online mul­tiplayer is only available with the Gold Membership. The Gold Mem­bership costs money. Microsoft. You know where this is going ... )

Also, backwards compatibility with games from the original Xbox is impossible without the hard drive since an update must be installed onto your system. This can be done in one of three ways: straight through Xbox Live, download and burn a CD or DVD to manually in­stall (if you don't have an Internet connection) or order a disc from Xbox.com (available in December). Suffice it to say, downloading it

XBOX360 Publisher: Microsoft

Platform: PS2 Price: $399.99 Premium Edition

$299.99 Core Edition

straight from Xbox Live is the easi­est, but even then, it isn't a surefire reason to sell back your old system to Toys 'N' Joys just yet. So far, there's only a measly 200 or so orig­inal games that can play on the new system. And the selections within that 200 leave something to be de­sired. When crap like Scooby Doo! Night of JOO Frights is supported and· Star Wars: Battlefront isn't, you know something's rotten in Cyber­land.

The system plays DVD films­nothing groundbreaking here-but the cool part is, if you are logged in online, your friends can instant mes­sage you in the middle of Batman Begins. Audio CDs can be ripped to the system and played with an ac­companying visualizer that is cute, but frankly, nowhere near as trippy as the iTunes one.

Much has been made of the over­heating problem on Internet forums. It's not really a problem if you ele­vate the system and basically give it some air. (Same goes for the AC plug-box.) But yes, the rumors are true and the 360 does crash. Playing Halo 2 resulted in a bunch of system freezes and screen errors, but since this was an original Xbox game, hopefully it's just a backwards com­patibility issue and Microsoft will come up with some necessary

,f I

./ {

patches. (Shades of XP, anyone?) The revamped Xbox Live Mar­

ketplace is also a great way to kill time. In addition to arcade games, game and movie trailers are avail­able for free downloads. The Aeon Flux preview sure looks crisp and purty and with Microsoft Points ( ob­tained either through promotions, credit card purchases, or on pre-paid cards at retail outlets), full games can be downloaded to the hard drive. Yes, these Points effectively cost more money, but playing Gauntlet and Joust online is an old­schooler's dream and connecting to multiplayer mode to find a battle is a snap.

Your customized user profile ( created when first starting up the 360) is also a neat thing. It's also acce~ible from the Web and it shows your "Gamerscore," "Repu­tation," and entire gaming history, with progress and achievements on every game played. This can be a tad embarrassing when fellow dorks can check your Gamer Card (essen­tially your geek resume) and look at your inadequate number of achieve­ments. Damn this generation's My­Space influence.

As with any console launch, the games themselves are a mixed bag. The graphics are, so far, nothing all that extraordinary, but load times are a snap, and there is one major surprise release in the Xbox Live Marketplace. No doubt, though, fu­ture games will harness. the true power of the machine. Anyone will­ing to take bets that the 360's true killer app will probably get released around the PS3 lau~ch next fall? •

CHRIS HAIRE

S yriana is an important movie. The kind that will single handedly end the war. The kind that will convince Ameri-

cans to give up their petroleum-de­pendent ways and to turn to alterna­tive sources of energy. The kind that will tank at the box office, take home Oscar gold and be forgotten about 10 years later. Yes, Syriana, with its interweaving plots, Power Point-presentation dialogue and timely subject matter-Islamic ter­rorists, greedy oil barons and stock market analysts-is that kind of movie.

But regardless of whatever role Syriana will play in shaping public opinion and foreign affairs, the movie's true imp~ct will be felt in the lustful hearts of the women-

Fluxed up RYAN SENAGA

B efore the dawn of the reality show when MTV still played videos, sets of Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam

were broken up by innovative pro­gramming like an animated variety show called Liquid TV. One of the segments was a futuristic cartoon called Aeon Flux. It was violent, grotesque and sexually explicit with cyborg spinal taps, S&M strips of 1eather passing as clothing, and a cu­rious obsession with nipples, eye­balls, dismembered limbs and sali­va-dripping tongues. Most memo­rable though were creator Peter Chung's renderings of the charac­ters: hideously gnarled facial ex­pressions, wiry musculatures with protruding, seemingly double-joint­ed bones and more severe bikini­waxes than Madonna's "Hung Up" video. They barely resembled hu­mans, giving the impression that

Aeon Flux was . better left to MTV

man was not quite done evolving. All this makes the casting of Os­

car winner Charlize Theron as the ti­tle heroine is slightly problematic. She was uglified for Monster and North Country, but in a role that calls for her to be truly deformed, she is statuesque again. She looks great in the skimpy outfits, but that's missing the point of the original se­ries. Theron's overwhelming beau­ty isn't the only thing wrong with this live-action version of Aeon Flux.

Regardless, it is the year 2415 and a virus has wiped out 99 percent of humankind. The remaining 1 per­cent lives in the walled city of Breg­na under the totalitarian rule of Trevor Goodchild. Rebel forces work to free themselves of this regime and to assassinate the leader, they send their best killer, Aeon Flux. When it comes time to pull the trigger, the lithe markswoman hesi­tates. Why? Who cares? After the 45-minute mark, all the killer blades of lawn grass and rolling grenade marbles can't make you give a crap.

Everything would've b~n OK if the movie worked as its own cre­ation, but what we are left with is a generic and rather boring, PG-13, female-assassin-in-the-middle-of-a­futuristic-cloning/genetic manipula­tion-conspiracy flick.

More perplexing is the choice of Karyn Kusama, director of the nu­anced female boxer movie Girlfight, to make this film her second feature. Perhaps she thought she could bring a certain strength and feminist psy­chology to the character, but unfor­tunately, her work at sci-fi revision­ing seems strained and unoriginal. • Even Oscar winner Frances (Fargo) McDormand seems to be slumming; the red wig she wears gives her an uncanny resemblance to Carrot Top.

Aeon Flux should have been an R-rated feature-length cartoon. •

Unattributed film synopses indicate movies not yet reviewed by HW staff 'l Indicates films of unusual interest

Opening The Chronicles of Namla: The Uon the Witch and the Wardrobe C.S. Lewis' fantasy comes to the screen as a big deal. Lots of spec­tacle, lots of nuance-but will this charmer turn

into a franchise? Syriana Seereview on page 30.

Continuing Aeon Flux See review on page 31. Derailed Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owen in a thriller said to make Aniston a real movie star. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Event movies are review-proof in the sense that fans will brave the box-office crowds no matter what they've heard, good or bad. The Harry . Potter franchise falls into this category and advance word called this the best and darkest in the series. Though done in a non-gory, PG-13 way, a Hogwarts student's death and a quick instance of self-dismemberment definite­ly qualifies Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as the darkest of the film adaptations of JK Rowling's novels. But it's only the sec<1nd best. Because we've seen all the magical reahn ele­ments in other cinematic incarnations, going darker has somehow made the proceedings less breathtaking. As the characters (and the fran­chise itself) enter adolescence, a child's awe at the supernatural happenings can no longer be used to ignore the amiable series' borderline­pedestrian formula. Pop culturally speaking, one cannot help but be drawn to Goblet; it's still escapist fun and · kids in the audience loved it, but a second view­ing for an adult may require having a young­ster around. (Reviewed 11/23 )-Ryan Senaga Get Rich or Die Tryin' 50 Cent stars in a con-

troversial movie that some are protesting as too violent. The Ice Harvest This is what Hollywood calls counter-programming-going against all the warm and fuzzy holiday movies with a real . gooey thriller. However, a movie this heavy­handed and badly-paced, anq with only half the wit it needs, doesn't counter anything. This nay-saying critic departed the theatre, wishing he had seen an Ashton Kutcher movie instead. Stay away from The Ice Harvest in droves. Have parties. Pray for John Cusack's career. And have a big stiff drink on me. With ice. (Reviewed 11/30)-Bob Green In the Mix Usher stars as a bodyguard. He also sings and "dances." 'i Jarhead If the first half of the often rivet­ing Jarhead, about Marines in the first Gulf War, were as good as its second half, it would become a classic-up there with Full Metal Jack­et and The Thin Red Line. And it just might become a classic anyway, once certain histori­cal points, now in process in Iraq, become a lit­tle less propagandized. Based on Anthony Swofford's memoir, the movie nicely omits some of Swofford's hindsight, and concerns itself with the problem of alienation in a kind of war that its participants simply cannot "understand." In 2005, Jarhead can show us detail that earlier war movies could not-post­modern boredom in the desert punctuated by bouts of masturbation, volatile language, occa­sional violence, fears of infidelity at home sometimes proved. (Reviewed 11/9) -B.G. Just Friends He's fat. No one loves him. He thins down. Then other complications follow. Ryan Reynolds stars with other unknowns. It's a comedy. · 'i Pride and Prejudice After such contem­porary incarnations as Bridget Jones's Diary and Bride & Prejudice, television director Joe Wright makes an impressive debut with this generation's proper adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. The film is very capably done (the lush cliffs and wet, foggy

fields of green are mesmerizing), but in the end, it takes no real chances with its adaptation to stamp it as unique, but it is still a Worthy inter­pretation with a great cast, sumptuous cine­matography and a pacing with an appealing

·quickness. It's Merchant-Ivory for the iTunes world. (Reviewed 11/30) -R.S. Rent With an outstanding cast-six of them from the original Broadway production-the movie version of the popular works. If left to the less talented, the material would likely send you home with a headache as it pounds you into the ground with deathbeds and funerals an,p heroin needles. Director Chris Columbus (Harry Potter films one and two, Home Alone) keeps the pretense and moralizing in check. No sign of actor self-indulgence; characters are three-dimensional, relationships layered and real. Forget about jetting to New York for the stage version. This one's all you need. (Reviewed 11/16)-Becky Maltby 'i Walk the Une If you've had your fill of a year's worth of movies about celebrities rising to the top, indulging in booze and pills and shots, plummeting, and then being redeemed by love, it's understandable. However, you must now put that aside in order to see the Johnny Cash/June Carter biopic Walk the Line. As directed and co-written by:James Mangold, this biopic is far better-as drama and in its love story chemistry-than Ray, with more than just the requisite climbing up the ladder, falling off the wagon and cleaning up his act scenes. (Reviewed 11/23)-B.G. Zathura The game becomes a movie, a sequel of sorts.

Art House & Short Runs 'i Capote The screenplay for this film about Truman Capote finds the essence of its story and illuminates it-there's no fat and no self­indulgence. You shouldn't overlook Capote. It's a hell of a lot better than you think it is. (Reviewed 11/2)-B.G. Varsity

'i Electric Shadows (China, 2004) Beijing B.T. (before television) is the main story set­ting here, bookended with present-day Beijing (A.T.). Our Hero reminisces about his love for movies, when a rapt audience sat in the dark­ness, dreaming as one. This is, we're told, the charming Chinese equivalent of Cinema Par­adiso. Film, it says, was mythological, televi­sion an equalizer-a context for no context, and dangerous.

It is a conversation about our era, set in the America of the 1950s. The first clue thereto is that unlike other recent explo­rations of that time, this film skips right past the familiar trope of hypocritical, maybe-not­so-lily-white-picket-fence 1950s and goes straight for the jugular of red-baiting, McCarthyism and fear.

All in the ~family f

J

TAYLOR EASON

To me, there's nothing better than home­made-homemade bread, a homemade birthday card, a

homemade meal. It says someone actually cared enough-was pas­sionate enough-to sink a sliver of soul into the creation. In the world of wine, family wineries embody that feeling of authenticity. Whether first-, second- or fifth-generation winemakers, you can practically taste the passion in each sip.

Sometimes the difference be­tween corporate and homemade boils down to one factor: cash. Cor­porate wineries often focus on the profit machine, with enough re­sources to compete on price and vol­ume. Smaller, family-owned winer­ies don't have deep pockets, so they create demand by producing craft­made, quality-driven wines. It works.

Grant Burge, a fifth-generation winemaker in Australia's Barossa Valley, has been in the wine busi­ness most of his life. His family ar­rived in Australia in 1855 and be­gan producing fortified dessert win.;;s like port. After noticing a shift in consumer demand to table wines (like Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz) in the 1970s, Grant began focusing his attention in that arena. In 1986, Grant established a name­sake winery with his wife and busi-

ness partner, Helen, producing world-class Shiraz. When asked about the advantages of being a family-owned winery, he refers mostly to the business challenges. Although he feels freer to concen­trate on long-term vision rather than on the bottom line, the lack of cor­porate cash can hurt. But he stays positive and dedicated, as does his staff, most of whom have been with the family business for 10 or more years. Burge also admires the ef­forts of two other Australian fami­ly-owned wineries, Y alumba and D' Arenburg.

Dick and Nancy Ponzi have pro­duced wines in Oregon since 1974, when Pacific Northwest wines were far from cool. Along with other pi­oneers like Dick Erath from Erath Vineyards, they saw an opportunity to create excellent Pinot Noirs in a climate similar to France's Bur­gundy. The Ponzis, along with their children Luisa, Michel and Maria, run the winery with a "philosophy of innovation, experimentation, re­spectful stewardship of the land and achieving consistent excellence in our wines." And they succeed, magnificent! y.

It's all for the passion of the vine. Toiling day after day doesn't seem to hurt as much if your name is on the bottle. "Everyone thinks I'm a masochist for keeping this up," Grant admitted. ''This business is 24 hours a day." When's the last time you enjoyed a 24/7 job? •

---Recommended Wines Grant Burge 10 Year Tawny Port (Australia). SW= 7. $20 375-mL half bottle. Absolutely delicious. Hot and sweet like honey on toast. Like warm raisins dipped in nuts and caramel. Comforting like a roar­ing fire on chilly night. Might be hard to find-ask for it at retail­ers like Tamura's and The Wine

Stop.****·

Grant Burge 2003 Miamba Shi­raz Barossa Valley (Australia). SW= 2. $15. Full-bodied, dark, sensuous and seductive, with no apologies to other weaklings. The gushing blackberry and cedar punch you in the face, and

you like it. ****·

Ponzi 2004 Arneis Willamette Valley (Oregon). SW= 2. $20. Steely and tropical yet' dry and full-bodied, like a cross between a Chardonnay and a Sauvignon Blanc. Ameis is an up-and-com­ing grape that might make you a believer. ****·

Ponzi 2003 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley (Oregon). SW = 1. $30. Full of personality and peppery, like the wild girl on the cheerleading team. Ripe, lively cherries are the pompoms.

Carnaval Las Palmas Restaurant Row, 500 Ala Moana Blvd (533-0129). Mon-Fri 10:30AM-3PM, 5-9PM, Sat, Sun 5-9PM. Appetizers: $3-$8.95. Entries: $7.50-$15.95. AmEx, Disc, MC, V. Camaval Las Palmas is the fourth branch in Wilfredo Valiente's Mexican food chain-and the most ambitious. It's the only Las Palmas that serves dinner and has the most extensive menu. Besides tacos and enchiladas, it has what-is-that dishes like came de pemin (baked pork

butt, FYI) as well as a refreshingly tart shrimp ceviche. The dishes are all well done, with fresh ingredients and lots of cilantro, but if you were hoping Honolu­lu finally has a Mexican restaurant that detours from the rice-and-beans track, think: waiting for Godot.

DaSpot. 1908 Pumehana St between Waiola and Algaroba Sts (941-1313, daspothawaii . com). Mon-Sat 10AM-9:30PM. Plate lunch: $6.50. Smoothies: $2. 75-$3. 75. Cash only. Ahmed Ramadan and Ako Kifuji serve a lot of love along with their cheap, good food-the best of it Middle East­ern dishes based on recipes from Ra­madan's Egyptian family. Sau.teed lamb with vegetables is a rich, red stew heady with cardomom and cinnamon. YOU can choose from 21 types of smoothies too. There are just a few seats in the small storefront,. so take your Styrofoam con­tainer of food to the park bench kitty comer to Da Spot for al fresco dining.

Diamond Head Grill W Honolulu, 2885 KaliikauaAve (922-3734, www.w-dhg.com). Daily 7AM-2:30PM, 6-llPM. Staners: $11-$18. En­tries: $25-$45. AmEx, MC, V. New chef Guillaume Burlion breathes

new life into what was a fading hotel restaurant. The Frenchman's classical background is evident in dishes like an eggshell filled with a very adult pabu­lu.m of egg, lobster, foie gras and truffle. Some of the simplest items are the best: like the stack of pineapple tomato slices drizzled with tart shiso vinaigrette.

1-Naba of Honolulu 1610 South King St (corner of Punahou). (953-2070). Thu-Tue, J 1~2PM, 5:30-9PM. Entrees: $18-$20. JCB, M, V A 25-seat soba shop open since Ju.neat the site where Dai Ryu Noodle House once stood, I-Naba already looks like a winner. Whether it's major points such as the soba noodle (made fresh every morning with Nagano buckwheat) or subtle ones such as the dashi, backbone of Japanese sauces and broths, simpbc­ity is key. Everything, from presentation to decor and service is unobtrusive and clean. In a city dense with ho-hum Japanese restaurants, I-Naba shines as a refreshing needle in a haystack.

Poke Stop Waipahu Town Center, 94-050 Farrington Hwy, next to Siwers (676-8100). Mon-SaJ 8~7PM, Sun 8AM-5PM. AmEx, MC, V. Elmer Guzman, the former chef at Sam Choy's Diamond Head Restaurant,

W hy is it that ancient Greek and Roman paintings, sculp­tures, and other works of art depict

males with such small genitalia? My first thought was that the artists wished to draw the viewer's atten­tion to other, more important, as­pects of the work. However, my roommate has pointed out that this treatment has the opposite effect. I really don't think evolution has treated us as kindly as this artwork might lead us to believe. So why the small penises? -Phil, Los Angeles

Phil, it's time we had a little talk about the Greeks.

You remember the Greeks. They were the guys (and it was mostly

guys-women at the time were mainly relegated to childbearing and housekeeping or sex object­hood, and were seldom heard from) who pretty much invented what we now think of as Western civiliza­tion. Their ideas about culture and society, which the Romans copied, influence us to this day. The Greeks also ... well, we'll get into a dis­cussion of Greek sexual preferences some other time. For now let's just say they were fascinated by male beauty, and in particular by (ahem) the penis.

The Greeks weren't shy about displaying their manly attributes. Nudity was celebrated in Greece as in no culture before or since. We're so used to nude classical sculpture and painting that we figure that's how everybody walked around back in those days. In fact, however, male nudity in art and among athletes and warriors was largely confined to the ancient Greeks, for whom it became a point of pride-they considered embarrassment at having to disrobe for sports a sign of barbarism. Ad-

miration of the manly form at times verged on the cult like; the more heroic bits of male sculpture, small penis or no, have an erotic charge that can make even a straight male sweat. Naked women were depicted too, but less often, and you some­times get the feeling the artist's heart wasn't in it.

The penis shows up in Greek art a lot-big ones as well as small ones. For example, there's the temple of Dionysus on the island of Delos, which features giant stone penises carved in the third century BC. De­capitated now, they're still impres­sively scaled and in a state of salute. (The academic term describing this condition, incidentally, is ithyphallic.)

Sculptural depictions of the erect penis were an everyday sight in the classical world. A common bound­ary marker and household totem in ancient Greece was the berm, origi­nally a representation of the god Hermes. It consisted of a head on top of a simple squarish pillar­your basic super sized Pez dispenser -unadorned except for, in front, an amply proportioned, usually erect, and sometimes arrestingly protru­sive penis and scrotum. Scholars tell us that such decorations were apotropaic (you learn a lot of vocab­ulary in this field)-that is, intended to ward off evil, and that folks back then paid no more attention to them than we would to a lucky horseshoe. Maybe. All I'm saying is, stuff that even now we'd consider hard-core porn you saw then just walking down to the Piraeus.

The ancients were also unembar­rassed by graphic displays of sex. Greek men - to be precise, male Greek aristocrats-figured if it moved, they could have sex with it, orat least look at pictures about hav-

ing sex with it. We have countless examples of crockery showing vari­ous combinations of humans, deities and the occasional animal engaged in the amatory act, most of it pre­sumably used as party favors to put the lads in the mood. Even in painterly scenes having nothing to do with sex the genitalia were often conspicuously displayed.

From this vast array ofXXX-rated artwork we can make a few deduc­tions about Greek aesthetic prefer­ences, genitaliawise (here I mainly follow Kenneth Dover's landmark study Greek Homosexuality, 1978): 1. Long, thick penises were consid­ered- at least in the highbrow view- grotesque, comic, or both and were usually found on fertility gods, half-animal critters such as satyrs, ugly old men, and barbarians. A circumcised penis was particularly gross. 2. The ideal penis was small, thin and covered with a long, tapered foreskin. Dover thinks the immature male's equipment was especially ad­mired, which may account not only for the small size but the scarcity of body hair in classical art. A passage from Aristophanes sums up the most desirable masculine features: "a gleaming chest, bright skin, broad shoulders, tiny tongue, strong but­tocks and a little prick."

You're thinking: How times have changed. Ain't arguing. Of course, we do have to take into account a contributing factor: Artists' models were nude, and their studios lacked central heat.

~H.AOLOGV by Rob Brezsny ••••••••

(March 21-April 19): Science writer Carl Sagan liked to say that "Ex­traordinary claims require extraordinary evi­dence." He often invoked that idea in his cru­sade to debunk theories he considered out­landish, like the proposition that extraterres­trials are visiting our planet. While I think Sagan's measuring stick is usually quite useful, you should be careful about applying it too fa­natically in the coming week. Surprising and marvelous possibilities are headed your way, and at least one of them will be very real but impossible for your rational mind to validate.

(April 20-May 20): In Sicily, the word "mafia" once meant beauty, charm, excellence or boldness. In its modern usage, both in Italian and English, none of the old senses of the word have survived. It refers to organized crime and conveys a sinister mood. I encourage you to identify a compara­ble thing in YO\ll' own life, Taurus: a situation, influence ·or relationship that was formerly a blessing, but that has now degenerate4 into a source of darkness. Is there anything you can do to resurrect its original glory? If it's even re­motely possible, now is the time you're most likely to accomplish it.

GiffilNI (May 21-June 20): About 149 light years from llarth, astronomers have discovered a planet in a solar system with three stars. If you lived on that world, you'd regularly see three different sunrises, one each by a yellow, orange and red sun. I tbink that happens to be an apt metaphor for your cur­rent state of affairs, Gemini. Several potent sources are competing" to be your lodestar; you can't decide which one you want to be your wellspring of meaning. I'm not saying that's bad. In fact, it could be very interesting. But lf you choose to keep indulging in this di­vision of your attention, you will have to work hard not to become scattered.

Oune 21-July 22): Have you seen the TV show Lost? One of the tales it tells is about a character named John Locke, who has been confined to a wheelchair for years. When the plane he's riding on crash­es on a Pacific island, he is not only unhurt, he recovers the use of his legs. The accident itself is somehow the mysterious cause of the mlra­cle. J predict that you will be the beneficiary of events that have a metaphorical or mythic re­semblance to Locke's story. Luckily, the trig­gering experience will be nowhere near as scary or dangerous as Locke's. And while the resulting transformation may also be less spectacular, it will fix a knotty problem or re­store a lost capacity.

uo Ouly 23-Aug. 22): You have gone through feline phases before, Leo, but your current resonance with cat-like energy is extraordinary. I wouldn't be sur­prised lf you felt desires to undulate when you move, scratch furniture, sleep more than usu­al rub yourself against people you love, act d~wnright inscrutable, and get lots of high­quality alone time. I also suspect you'll need to find a way to express a pressing urge to hunt. My advice? You might want to seek guidance in some of those horoscope books for cats, like CatAstrology by Michael Zulio or Starcats by Helen Hope.

Vl~GO

(Sept. 23-0ct. 22): "Dear Rev. Brezsny: I had a dream that I was inside a drawing by M.C. Escher. Every time I reached the top of a stairway I found myself again at the bottom of the same stairway. I couldn't tell which way was up and which was down. Depending on how I turned my head, the sky was above me and full of swimming fish or it was below me and full of Dying birds. I kept seeing a snake swallowing its own tail. What does it all mean?" -Puzzled Libra. Dear Puzzled: I believe your dream points to three experiences that a lot of Llbrans are hav­ing right now: I. Opposites are not only start­ing to attract; they may even be flowing into each other. 2. Beginnings and endings are not merely overlapping; they may both be con­tained in the same situation. 3. An influence now entering your life has arrived here from eternity.

SCO~PIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): George ill was King of England from 1760 to 1820. During the last years of his reign, he gradually became more and more insane, talking to himself for hours on end and ad­dressing trees as if they were people. When he first began losing his mind, his servants and assistants decided they would try to make him feel more comfortable by acting crazy them­selves. Their collusion with George's patholo­gy is an extreme example of a situation that all of us are at risk of. Our associates and loved ones may fall into a rhythm of going along with our odd ideas and bad habits, encouraging us to continue doing what we probably should­n't do. I think this could be a potential prob­lem for you in the coming days, Scorpio. Your allies may not bust you or call your bluff, which means you'd better do it yourself.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "If they can get you asking the wrong ques­tions, they don't have to worry about the an­swers," wrote novelist Thomas Pynchon. Be­tween now and the end of the year, Sagittarius, please gaze into a mirror and tell yourself that advice regularly. You can't afford to let any­one--authorities, experts, enemies or even friends-set the ground rules or define the contours of your quest for the truth. Your driv­ing passion should be to frame the unique questions that will lead you inexorably to what you need to know next. (P.S. The answers you receive will be wrong until you frame those crafty questions.)

OIPIICO~N (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): "If in the last few years you haven't discarded a major opinion or acquired a new one, check your pulse. You may be dead." So said the hu­morist Gelett Burgess, and now, just in time for your Shedding Season, I'm offering his advice to you. It's high time for you to get rid of all the old stuff you possibly can, including not only the major opinions that you've outgrown, but also mementos that have lost their meaning, clothes that no longer match your self-image and once-exciting adventures that have suc­aunbed to numbing habit

-IIQU-IIIIUS Oan. 20-Feb. 18): Writing in November's&quiro, Chuck Kloster­man described the National Football League as one of the most successful socialist institutions in the world. As evidence, he notes that rich teams in the biggest markets are required to share their revenue with poor teams in small markets. The league's best franchise in recent years, the New England Patriots, has won so many games because its star players have vol­unteered to accept reduced salaries, making more cash available for the team to assemble the best possible collection of second-line players. I recommend a similar approach to you, Aquarius. It's a propitious time to bring the NFL's brand of communalism to the group or business or tribe that's so important to you.

PISCIS (Feb. 19-March 20): ''There are two tragedies in life," said George Bernard Shaw. "One is to lose your heart's de­sire. The other is to gain it." If we satisfy our deepest longings, in other words, we lose our primary reason for living. We love to feel our yearnings so much that we're devastated lf they're ever quenched. Or so the argument goes. But I'm here to tell you, Pisces, that you have a good chance of refuting this theory in 2006. I think you'll get exactly what you've wanted and then thrive in the aftermath. A crucial key to this potential success story will

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): be offered to you in the coming week. To convey the dirt simple oracle you need to hear, I'm going to steal a line from the poet You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, William Kulik: "You can't get it because for your "Expanded Weekly Horoscope" at you've already got it."
