By comparison, a 1,500-watt microwave oven operated on high power for 20 minutes a day will use roughly 15 kWh per month. More »

Sheila Mason's Stellar Astrology for November 2009
Rated 4.3 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 »

2001 was a year to forget in regards to tragedy caused due to illegal street racing. Young Logan Fujimoto lost his life after he flew off the freeway and landed in a service station parking lot near Kahala Mall. A month later school teacher Elizabeth Kekoa was killed just a few miles from where young Logan lost his life.

Tattooing and Plastic Wrap Bandaging... NEVER!!
Rated 5.0 Stars
The use of plastic wrap to cover fresh tattoos may have gotten its start at biker events years ago. I can remember first seeing it used in the '70's. Newly tattooed people were peeling off their bandages to show their bros their new ink so untrained artists came up with the 'see-through' idea of plastic wrap. No need to peel that bandage back anymore. Blood, body fluids and their inherent dangers weren't much of an issue (or so we thought) in those days. More »
