Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You easily resolve conflicts of interest between head and loins, unlike those squirrelly Geminis or those oversexed Scorpios. You rarely deviate from your prearranged priority status dictating whether brain or crotch gets to call the shots, but I urge you to this week, since your best courses of action will lie […]
Your Horoscope
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Lately you’ve felt as lacking in vocabulary as the family dog. You’ve tried your damnedest to communicate what you’ve been feeling, nonverbally, but it’s not coming across. Whenever you’ve attempted to actually speak, you’ve felt desperately at a loss for words. Quit panting and wagging your tail. No one’s getting it. […]
Your Horoscope
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’re in a game of dodge ball I wish you’d lose. You’ve been playing for a couple years now, and you’ve gotten so wily and agile that I despair that you’ll never encounter a player good enough to knock you on your ass and give you what you so desperately need. […]
Awaken Tea Kombucha Serves Up The Bacteria Maui Needs
In October, when my husband came home from work and announced that the medical industry had made poop pills that will increase healthy bacteria in a person’s guts, I was like “no shit.” It made big news in the media, which makes sense given that people were ingesting fresh poop in hopes of curing their […]
Your Horoscope
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) There’s heavy traffic ahead. You’re going to be stuck in a bumper-to-bumper jam for the foreseeable future. There’s no avoiding it; the standstill blocks the only available route to your destination. Sucks, doesn’t it? But it could be worse; at least you have this warning, so you can stock up on […]
Your Horoscope
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ve probably noticed how vulnerable or receptive towards Geminis you are. There’s a surprising amount of reciprocity there, too. But did you know that you have the perfect Band-Aid for your favorite Gem’s Achilles’ heel? Luckily for you, they’ve got a similar remedy that will cure your own most tender wound. […]
Your Horoscope
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Pomp and circumstance have their places, but leave them among the graduation ceremonies and British courtrooms. There’s no need to whip out formal robes or powdered wigs. Just keep it real. When it comes to the deep, soul-to-soul shit, you can’t hide behind “rules of order.” You’ve chosen to enter the […]
Your Horoscope
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Turn up the volume. You’re doing really well, Virgo, at expressing your wants and needs explicitly and articulately. You’re just not doing it loudly or aggressively enough. Communicating with perfect lucidity is useless if you’re so quiet that the people who need to hear what you’re saying simply can’t. They’re mostly […]
Your Horoscope
Cancer (June 21-July 22) Although I’ve occasionally been known to badmouth Cancers (usually after an especially hard (and often unintentional) pinch), if only by repeating—and therefore reinforcing—less-than-flattering stereotypes, I don’t want you to think that I don’t adore you. I usually only mention your supposed shortcomings to point out their source—the hardships you suffer by […]
WORLD WAR Z New Movie Review
A feeling of paranoid nostalgia swept across me during a screening of World War Z. An hour into the movie, which I caught with my family at the Queen Ka’ahumanu Theater, someone in the audience coughed. This is not what you want to hear when the movie in question is a virus-oriented horror movie. It […]
Your Horoscope
Gemini (May 21-June 20) Is this life or a sitcom? I saw you doing something ridiculous, like sneaking in through your boyfriend’s doggy door to rip up a regretted break-up note before he read it, or faking a broken leg, cast and all, just so you could cut in line at the amusement park. Whatever […]
HANGOVER PART III New Movie Review
The Wolf Pack reunites once again for another round of debauchery and mayhem, though this time, no one gets lost. Instead, John Goodman plays a ruthless thug who forces the group (consisting once again of Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms and sometimes Justin Bartha) to track down Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong), who recently escaped […]
Your Horoscope
Taurus (April 20-May 20) In Greek myth Jason vanquished a dragon whose teeth, sown in earth, sprouted into thousands of armed warriors. He was ready to fight them all and surely be defeated, despite his prodigious swordsmanship, until his wily girlfriend, Medea, suggested something more realistic: Turn the unassailable might of that army against itself. […]
Your Horoscope
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Sponges, the most ancient species of living animal, appear to the untutored eye to be inert and lifeless porous objects. Yet they’ve flourished for millions of years virtually unchanged. Their simple, effective structure makes their fierce labor seem like inactivity: They have to pump about a ton of seawater through themselves […]

This weekend, globetrotting, Grammy-winning Jazz musicians from New Orleans, Maui, Oahu, the Big Island and Los Angeles will come together for the third annual Lanai Jazz Festival.

A shift in royal power takes place when a devious politician (Stanley Tucci) uses a supernatural crown to obtain power. But Jack’s random encounter with a priest on the run results in his receiving […]
