Sheila Mason's Stellar Astrology for November 2009
Rated 5.0 Stars
Happy Birthday, Scorpio! If others try to push you around on the 2nd, you'll be ready to fight back. The Taurus moon is opposing your sun-sign, Scorpio and is doing so under rather harsh conditions, making you edgy, touchy, and argumentive with your partner. Ride this phase out, Scorpio and carry on until the 16th when a new moon in your sign brings you a whole new attitude, one that is lighter and happier than it's been in quite some time. More »

Vandalism to Public Sculpture
On a recent visit to see the portrait sculpture of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole in Waianae, I discovered that the bottom fishhook that rested on IZ's chest was missing, i.e. apparently stolen. Who would do such a thing? And who would evoke such negative mana against a man who gave so much of himself to the people of Hawaii? More »

A Turkey Says Quack
Hope is a funny sentiment. It's purportedly the only thing that didn't escape from Pandora's box. Some say hope is a good feeling that comforts us in times of misfortune; others claim hope is an evil because it deludes us into thinking we can control the future. More »

Lifestyle :: Art/Leisure :: Hawaii Wedding Tips

Pup Friendly Wedding Sites
Every season, brides challenge me with a question I need to do a little research and investigating to find the answer. Last season, it was about uplighting and which venues have enough power to support this new must-have design aspect, the season before it was about multi colored dresses and what the tradition and custom was behind wearing an all-white gown. This season... it's all about dogs! More »
