I just wanted to thank my unfriendly neighbor, who did work for us. We thought we hired you to make improvements on our home in Napili. Instead, you completely screwed us! You should be ashamed of yourself for burning such a huge bridge. First of all, you didn’t honor your word or contract to finish the job by Thanksgiving. Instead, you milked us for time through February. Then you abandoned the job completely, leaving us with a leaky roof, unfinished electrical wiring and non-existent plumbing.

Oh, and during the job you flooded my yoga studio to the point where all the hardwood flooring was ruined. As if this wasn’t enough, you lied to us continuously. I am four months pregnant and have had a lot of stress because of what you did. But now that you’re gone, I’m so much more at peace since your negative energy is out of our lives forever. Of course, all this is our fault, since we trusted you, a guy with no integrity.

Thank you once again. It’s been a real pleasure.

The Other Bad War

More torture in occupied Afghanistan “In one of the great deceptive maneuvers in U.S. history,” Bob Herbert wrote recently, “the military-industrial complex (with George W. Bush and Dick Cheney as chairman and C.E.O., respectively) took its eye off the real enemy in Afghanistan and launched the pointless but far more remunerative war in Iraq.” Herbert, one of The New York Times’ better pundits, ought to know better than to point to Afghanistan as the right fight at the right time. But he’s not the only Pollyanna of America’s other dirty war.

During his 2004 presidential primary campaign Howard Dean said: “Our military has done an absolutely terrific job in Afghanistan, which is a war I supported…

I believe that, had Saddam been captured earlier, we might have been able to spend more time looking for Osama bin Laden, which is the real problem.” John Kerry took the same position—Afghanistan war good/part of war on terror, Iraq war bad/distraction—in his run against Bush.

And so has the citizenry. Public disgust for the Iraq War, news coverage of which has been dominated by soaring body counts, torture scandals and the outbreak of civil war, has become bipartisan—only 30 percent of Americans tell the February 27 CBS News poll that they still support it.

The popularity of the occupation of Afghanistan, on the other hand, is a given.

The U.S. military backing of Afghan president Hamid Karzai is so widely accepted that pollsters no longer ask voters about it. Opposition? There isn’t any.

Liberal magazines like The Nation and The Progressive, the Air America radio network and the leftie blogosphere are packed with ferocious insults and attacks on the Bush Administration about the Iraq War, from how they conned us into it to their lack of postwar strategic planning to the profiteering and looting that ensued. But when Afghanistan makes one

Rummy likes Afghanistan just as it is of its rare appearances in the leftie media, it’s invariably held up as the war Bush ought to be fighting, the good war that got sidetracked when we went into Iraq.

Everyone loves Bush’s war against Afghanistan, even though it was based on just as many lies as his assault on Iraq: Osama bin Laden probably wasn’t in Afghanistan on 9/11 and was certainly not there by the time bombs began falling. People approve even though, as in Iraq, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld didn’t send enough troops—8,000 where 500,000 were required—to provide basic security. Even though Afghans didn’t greet us as liberators. Even though, as in Iraq, he installed a government composed of corrupt, violent and vengeful minorities, guaranteeing sectarian bloodshed and civil war.

And even though the news from U.S.-occupied Afghanistan—if you can find any—is as relentlessly bleak as that from Iraq.

Afghanistan suffers its own litany of roadside bombs, suicide bombs, massacres of foreign aid workers, citizens terrorized by kidnappers and rapists. It even has its own Abu Ghraib.

U.S. troops are jailing, torturing and occasionally murdering about 500 uncharged (and therefore legally innocent) inmates at a topsecret makeshift concentration camp at a disused Soviet-era machine shop at Bagram, about 40 miles south of Kabul. “Some of the detainees,” reports The New York Times, “have already been held at Bagram for as long as two or three years.” The paper says that the Bagram camp is “in many ways rougher and more bleak” than the notorious U.S. gulag at Guantánamo.

“Men are held by the dozen in large wire cages… sleeping on the floor on foam mats and, until about a year ago, often using plastic buckets for latrines.” And if Abu Ghraib serves as a guide, check out what Army interrogator and selfadmitted prisoner abuser Anthony Lagouranis says about those “terrorists”: “90 percent of them were probably innocent.”

It’s widely accepted that the torture at Abu Ghraib, combined with U.S. troops’ rough and intimidating treatment of civilians on streets and in their homes, motivates Iraqis to join, fund and provide logistical support to a growing resistance movement. Now we know that the same thing is going on in Afghanistan.

When will American public opinion catch up with reality?

Both wars, in Iraq and Afghanistan, are equally unjustifiable, illegal, corrupt and unwinnable. Both make us less humane and less safe. Anti-Iraq War liberals who have given the Administration a free pass on Afghanistan have merely encouraged more abuse. “For some reason,” a senior Bush official marvels to the Times, “people did not have a problem with Bagram. It was in Afghanistan.” MTW

Barely a year after taking a seat on the Maui County Department of Liquor Board of Adjudication, combative, assertive member Lance Collins has been shown the door. At an awkward, uncharacteristically short March 2, 2006 Adjudication Board hearing ironically videotaped by Akaku, Deputy Corporation Counsel Tracy Fujita Villarosa asked Collins to resign his seat effective immediately.

At the hearing, Collins refused to resign or even say anything in his defense. But a few hours after the hearing, according to an aide to Mayor Alan Arakawa, Collins agreed to step down after discussing the matter with Arakawa.

The reason for such drama is simple: Collins wants Joseph Pontanilla’s job on the Maui County Council. According to state law, county board members and commissioners must be impartial, and that means no member or commissioner can “present oneself as a candidate.” But exactly what that “present oneself” language means seems open to interpretation.

In fact, Collins says he’s been planning to resign from the board since he pulled nomination papers to run for the Maui County Council seat representing Kahului last month. Until his March 2 consultation with Arakawa, Collins had insisted on waiting until he made his candidacy official.

“While I have pulled my nomination papers for the seat, I obviously have not made a decision on whether to run,” Collins wrote in a Feb. 15 letter to Mayor Alan Arakawa, who appointed Collins to the board a year ago. “Because I have not filed my nomination papers, I have not presented myself as a candidate for public office… [I]f I decide to file nomination papers for elective office and become a candidate for public elective office, I will immediately tender my resignation from the Liquor Control Adjudication Board.”

But that wasn’t fast enough for Villarosa.

“Mr. Collins has presented himself as a candidate,” she said at the March 2 hearing. In a written memo dated the day of the hearing and distributed to the Adjudication Board, Villarosa went further, citing among other things my own Feb. 12, 2006 Coconut Wireless column mentioning Collins’ candidacy. “[I]t is this Department’s interpretation that to ‘present oneself as a candidate’ does not mean ‘to be a candidate,’” she wrote. “A person can ‘present oneself as a candidate’ without actually filing papers to run for an elected office.”

Though Villarosa admitted that there’s no set definition for the phrase “present oneself as a candidate” and that she will ask the state Attorney General’s office for an opinion, she said Collins still needed to tender his immediate resignation. When Collins refused to comment during the hearing, the board voted to defer the cases on that day’s agenda to a later hearing.

In any case, none of this is particularly surprising. Almost from the moment Collins took his seat on the board, there’s been great animosity that seethes between Collins, Villarosa and the rest of the board.

Collins has repeatedly denounced what he considered to be the board’s favoritism towards the prosecution as well as its allegedly repeated attacks on various liquor licensees’ “due process rights.”

Those days are now over. Liquor licensees hauled before the Adjudication Board on charges of serving minors, over-serving customers and the like had no greater friend than Collins. His departure will return the board to the old days of nine unanimously compliant members cheerfully acquiescing to LC demands. MTW

WEDNESDAY, MAR. 1 So today our illustrious U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye (D, Hawai’i) blabs in his own press release that the illustrious U.S. Air Force will soon base a squadron of illustrious F-22 Raptor fighter jets at Hickam Air Force Base on Oahu. “Final approval of the environmental impact statement will allow a squadron of 18 F-22 aircraft to be assigned to the Hawai’i Air National Guard,” Inouye said in the release, according to today’s Honolulu Advertiser.

“The F-22s would replace the [Air National] Guard’s aging F-15 Eagles.” I mention all this because Inouye’s joy exemplifies the financial madness that grips the Pentagon today. The F-22 is an extremely expensive airplane—each one costs $300 million, a bit more than the projected $86 million offered back in 1986. But what Inouye doesn’t say is what those those fancy F-22s are going to do. Remember, the F-15, which certainly dates back to the 1970s, has never been shot down in combat. Not once.

Ever. Besides that, our own government is fond of telling us that we live in an age of terror, where threats to this country will come from loners carrying suitcase bombs. I mean, more than 2,000 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq without a single incident of air combat. In fact, a case could be made that the only real aerial threat our armed forces will face in the next generation will be hijacked airliners. Do we really need a $300 million stealth fighter to shoot down a lumbering 767?

SATURDAY, MAR. 4 THURSDAY, MAR. 2 So I guess we’re all better people now that the world’s largest ocean liner, the 151,000-ton Queen Mary 2 dropped anchor off Lahaina today. The Oahu dailies were beside themselves when she docked in Honolulu yesterday. And I suppose it’s a big deal: 2,600 passengers, 5,000 restrooms and such. And yes, it’s a big ship— twice as long as the Washington Monument is tall, if her Cunard owners did their math right at the official QM2 website. But beneath all its pageantry and flourish, the Queen Mary 2 is still just a cruise ship, packed with thousands of people paying thousands of dollars to stand in glorified chow lines. And even though it’s relatively fresh from the builder’s yard, the Queen Mary 2 didn’t ace its most recent Center for Disease Control health inspection, which took place Oct. 6, 2005 in Boston.

There, inspectors found bread stored out in the open without the use of a sneeze shield, milk that wasn’t nearly cold enough and non-stick coating on four frying pans that was peeling or scratched off. Blimey!

FRIDAY, MAR. 3 There was a big protest in Lahaina today by Na Kupuna O Maui. Seems they want the Lahaina Bypass too, and they’re sick of waiting decades for it. Organizer Patty Nishiyama told The Maui News that the festivities were open to all. Given that the protest took place on Honoapi’ilani Road at Puamana Park from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., a great many people—and their cars—showed up.

Of the $3 million, just $500,000 goes to “safety” work, and half of that will go towards “rockfall mitigation assessment” at Diamond Head State Park (the rest of the safety money goes toward “warning signs”). As for the other $2.5 million in this appropriation, that will go to something far more important than even public safety—something so important it’s strange Lingle didn’t see the need to comment on it: “large capacity cesspool replacement/closure projects.” Hey, large capacity cesspools aren’t cheap, people. And as anyone who’s driven a great distance to get to a state park, big cesspools are absolutely mandatory.

A February report on mine safety regulation by USA Today found that complicated federal statutes and lazy Mine Safety and Health Administration enforcement have resulted in a structure of civil fines almost guaranteed not to deter dangerous conditions. The largest-ever MSHA fine (for a 2001 incident with 13 deaths) was $605,400 (as compared to, for example, the FCC’s 2004 fine of CBS for the brief image of Janet Jackson’s breast at the Super Bowl, which was $3.5 million). One attorney who represents coal companies and claimed that fines are largely irrelevant to safety said, “I really don’t think any responsible mine operator makes any decision about safety based on civil penalties.”

AMERICAN PRIDE In January, spokesman Nick Inskip of the trade association of Australia’s legalized brothels and strip clubs praised the American sailors who that week began several days’ shore leave in Brisbane. “[T]he fellows are fantastic customers,” he said. “They are so well-mannered. ...

They’re very aware that they’re representing their country, and that’s why they behave so well.”

MORE THINGS TO BLAME ON BUSH Two gunmen robbed a 57-year-old woman in her Westerville, Ohio, home in February, but, according to a police report, argued among themselves about how to do the job, until one of the men, perhaps feeling sorry for himself, said, “This is all George W. Bush’s fault. He screwed up the economy.” All the two men needed, he said, was “gas money for the car.” And a 29-year-old man was convicted in February after he jumped over a fence at the White House to meet up with

WOULD YOU PAY A 281% INTEREST RATE? YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED AT THE ANSWER. When you’re promised a tax refund in 48 hours, it’s not a refund, it’s a loan. If you’re expecting $2000, and you pay a $200 fee to have it in 48 hours, you’re paying an effective rate of 281% to receive it 13 days sooner than you otherwise would.

You’re going to be inundated the next few months with ads spouting the virtues of these refunds in hours – don’t believe them. These loans are expensive, often costing more than the return preparation itself. For these reasons we chose not to offer them.

Chelsea Clinton. According to an officer, the man seemed unfazed at being told that the Clintons no longer lived there but did say that “George Bush told me to jump the fence, and I jumped the fence.”

OUR LITIGIOUS SOCIETY After two boys at PS 14 in New York City taunted a five-year-old classmate in January three times by grabbing his privates, school officials held a hearing and referred the boys for guidance counseling. Unsatisfied, the younger boy’s parents in February filed a lawsuit against the already-budget-challenged New York City school system for $6 million.

IRONIES Jacqueline Dotson was seriously injured in an accident near Winchester, Ky., in February that police say happened when she lost control of her SUV and ran several other cars off the road before overcorrecting, which caused the SUV to roll over a guardrail and land upside down. A rescue crew labored an hour and a half with the “jaws of life” to extricate her from the vehicle, but one of her arms was already free, severed in the accident and lying on the road, still grasping a cell phone.

AWESOME! In December, the New England Journal of Medicine reported the odd case of a 73-yearold Inuit woman hospitalized in Nome, Alaska, whose abdominal X-ray revealed an enlarged and photographically opaque appendix, which doctors concluded was an appendix filled with buckshot. The Inuits, doctors said, eat so many ducks and geese downed by buckshot that inevitably some buckshot remains in the cooked meat and is eaten and digested, with some migrating to the appendix, where it is trapped. The appendix was enlarged and opaque on the X-ray simply because it was overstuffed with buckshot. MTW

Between a Rockstar and a Hard Place Howard Ahia will be Maui’s next big thing—when he comes back from rehab

By Samantha Campos

It started the first time Howard Ahia and his band were on stage. It was seven years ago, at the Hard Rock Café in Lahaina during their annual Battle of the Bands. Ahia’s three-piece group had a sound unlike any other heard on the island at that time. They were doing alternative rock, highly appealing originals with breathy vocals backed by a driving electric guitar. The songs would assimilate easily with the best of mainland college radio.

And the buzz began.

Shortly after the Battle of the Bands, Ahia and his crew played regularly at the Hard Rock. They were the first local band hired for the coveted weekly spot, which has since been filled by Marty Dread. Ahia also played popular solo gigs at various clubs and restaurants around town.

Talk began of a CD and mainland tour. Word spread that Ahia was destined for rockstar status.

But there was another buzz spreading throughout the island. Before and after performances, Ahia would appear at bars, drunk, wild-eyed, stumbling and barely intelligible. Club owners began questioning his reliability. Soon they stopped booking him regularly. His audience—weary and dubious of Ahia’s between-set antics—slowly dissipated. And then, so did his band.

Eventually, Ahia got married, had a daughter and made his way to rehab. During his sobriety, he began working on gaining back the respect of venue managers and his fans. And recently he produced an album, titled It’s Killing Me. “Just being able to finish this CD after so many years of wanting to make it,” said Ahia. “It’s such a miracle. Especially after so many instances of me trying to sabotage myself.”

Although it hasn’t been officially released yet, the anticipation has resumed about Ahia. Along with vital support from Willie K and Sean Corpuel, Ahia is also slated to play the Diamond Head Crater Celebration

on April 1. The Oahu concert is a big deal since it’s the first public concert to be held inside the historical landmark in three decades and will feature the Steve Miller Band, Linda Ronstadt, WAR, Honolulu Symphony with Na Leo and other well-known local performers.

But that’s next month. This month, Ahia is once again facing his internal demons. You see, seven months ago Ahia fell off the wagon and stopped taking his antidepressants.

“Publicly, I’ve humiliated myself,” he said. “I think I’m pretty moral but I know that I have an addiction for cocaine and alcohol. I lost focus. I have an inability to see what needs to be done. I’m in limbo. I feel so ready to play my music and to do it clean and sober. I’m on my way back to rehab.

There’s a lot riding on this right now.”

Ahia’s father, Sam, recognizes the drive to play music. He’s been doing it professionally for as long as Ahia can remember. A proficient and acclaimed guitarist, Sam played L.A., San Francisco and the Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe casino circuits in the 1960’s.

For more than 20 years, Sam has been a staple in jazz and Hawaiian music on Maui, playing resort and restaurant shows consistently.

“I’m not as disciplined or wise as he is,” said the younger Ahia. “I’m a late bloomer.”

Ahia’s mother, Rini, Sam’s high school sweetheart, disagrees.

“There was this one time when Howard was six or seven years old,” she said. “We went to this house party in Redondo Beach. I brought my kids because they wanted to go swimming. And Howard came inside and played piano—The Young and the Restless theme. We were like, ‘Where did you learn that?’ But my mother and I loved to watch soap operas.”

When the family moved back to Oahu a few years later, Ahia befriended a neighbor who was getting piano lessons. Although he didn’t yet read music, Ahia would visit his friend during his lessons then go back home

“I learned to respect the music,” he said. “Not just to be on stage to say ‘hi mom’ or to get the chicks.”

A few years later, Ahia played a cultural festival in Vienna with his father. He became so popular the organizers rearranged performers’ schedules so that Ahia could play an extended seven nights.

“That was sort of the dawn of my realizing he had something special,” said Sam. “The Austrians went crazy for him. They taped his performance and passed it around.”

“This guy, a big-time producer named Peter Wolf, sent me to Germany,” said Ahia. “While I was in the studio, I was singing and he said, ‘Push it out—I know you can hit these notes!’ I started singing with a fuller voice— rocking louder, with a higher range. It worked. But I was pretty screwed up back then. I didn’t get the gig. That was 10 years ago.”

Ahia returned to Maui after the audition. While he busied himself in various hotel music gigs, he also started listening to Jimi Hendrix and other “mellow” rock.

“It made me challenge myself to try to sing a little stronger,” he said.

“I’ve heard Howard all throughout his music, from his John Taylor [phase] in high school to his new CD,” said Sam. “He has this one ingredient, a quiet fire in his music. It’s there—not in your face—and it sort of envelops you.”

My last interview with Howard Ahia took place at Sam and Rini Ahia’s Launiupoko house. It’s where Ahia was hanging out before he went to rehab. At one point, I asked Rini what kind of influence she had over her son’s decision to return to rehab. She turned and looked at Howard.

“You’re a good kid,” she said. “I want you to get cleaned up, get your act together. Don’t look in the past—look at all the good things happening to you and live for the future, for your daughter. All good things will

It’s round and round in my brain Like a tornado touched upon the plain It came down from the sky And you can breathe it all away You were your own worst enemy Too hard on yourself to see One better day And you can breathe it all away from “Fly Away,” It’s Killing Me, Howard Ahia Band and play everything he had just heard.

“I said to him, ‘You have this gift,’” said Rini. “I hired a piano teacher but my husband objected to it. His friends were all good musicians. He thought they could come and teach Howard but they were too busy.”

After high school, where he was voted “Most Likely To Have a Hit Record,” Ahia played football at Saddleback College in South Orange County. He was offered a full scholarship at Pacific University but he didn’t tell his parents.

“My coach gave it to me and I threw it in the trash can,” he said. “I regret that sometimes.”

Later on, he was injured in a game and was paralyzed from the neck down for a couple days. When he recovered, he started playing classical guitar and folk rock. He also attended the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston.

come, Howard. You just gotta plan for it. Don’t look back.”

Ahia says he is doing his best to take these words to heart. He is determined to “stay out of trouble.” Subsequently, he also wants to be a better father, more financially secure, and more productive musically. He says he is working with the best band he’s ever had, and wants to tour and “play rock ‘n roll the way musicians dream of playing rock.

“This is such a remote place, which can make it hard to succeed,” he said. “Nevertheless, you have to believe in the dream. And now with the band, it’s our dream, not just mine.”

After Ahia gets out of rehab, he said he plans to hold CD release parties, and supposes he’ll gain a lot more support from the powers that be when he shows that he’s focused and staying away from drinking and drugs.

“I have a strong faith in my goals,” he said, “and I believe that they can come true.” MTW

Hey! Where’s my Nalu Mojito?

The Art of Sushi Few make it better than Nalu If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would definitely be sushi. I realize that’s not entirely fair, considering the infinite variety of sushi that exists, but if I had to choose that’s my answer. Given my affinity for sushi, I’m always on the lookout for new places to try.

Nalu Sunset Bar & Sushi Maui Marriott, Ka’anapali, 667-1200, ext. 51. $$ I’d heard from a number of people that Nalu in the Marriott at Ka’anapali has excellent sushi. Week after week, eating there was on my list of things to do but somehow I never quite made it. Then last week when some friends were over I finally succeeded in rallying a crowd.

While the rest of my friends ordered wine, I went with something a little more exotic: the Nalu Mojito. A traditional Mojito is made with mint, sugar, lime and rum; Nalu uses all that but spices up its drink with coconut rum instead of the usual plain rum.

After working on our drinks for a bit and asking our friendly server Wendy for suggestions, the four of us were finally ready to order. We went with three of Wendy’s recommendations: the Jaws roll ($15), which is a California roll topped with lightly baked scallops; the Volcano roll ($17), a roll of spicy tuna, cucumber, seared ahi and basil; and finally the Honolua roll ($10), which has tempura

shrimp and a crunchy topping. We also opted for a mixed order of Nalu Poke ($15) with tako and ahi, miso soup ($3) and a traditional spicy tuna roll ($8).

As the chef was cutting our sushi we each enjoyed the steaming miso soup. It had just the right blend of miso along with soft pieces of tofu and seaweed.

Since the restaurant was not too crowded this particular evening, it didn’t take very long for our sushi to arrive. All the rolls were delicately crafted and carefully placed on beautiful plates. We passed around the different rolls and poke as each of us created our own sushi platter. While I made sure to sample each creation, I was most excited to try the Volcano and Jaws rolls. My instincts were right regarding the former—it had a delicious tuna filling and a nice cucumber crunch. The fresh center and the scallops on the Jaws roll made it equally delicious.

At this point I decided to take a quick break to ponder my next consumption. Not wanting to become too full too fast, I decided to eliminate the rice and took a few bites of the Nalu poke instead. The tako was thinly sliced and not too chewy while the ahi was cut into the usual small cubes. While I enjoyed the dish overall, I was less impressed with it than I was with the rolls.

My favorite piece of sushi has always been the traditional spicy tuna roll, and it remained so this night. But the most artistic was the Honolua roll, carefully balanced on a delicate platter and surrounded by pieces of fried tempura batter. MTW

Martina Madness Thursday, 7:30 p.m. at McCoy Studio [COMEDY] Have you heard about the Coconut Cabaret yet? It’s a new series addition the MACC’s got going on.

Once a month we’ll have the opportunity to see humorous “alternative” talent from all over the mainland. It’s like performance art with a comedic twist and the intention of being intellectual and surreal. Hunh. That kinda sounds like what I do! This week’s Dina Martina is a train wreck of make-up, crazy antics and costumes that, according to David Schmader of Seattle’s The Stranger, could “...make a gynecologist blush.” Okay, maybe that’s not so much what I do. You know, my friend and I were just talking about things we miss from big cities. This is just the type of show we need to add to the island. We get the best of both worlds: a big city worthy, cutting-edge performance on our little slab of paradise. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Maui AIDS Foundation. Tickets: $18. Call 2427469.

Tropical Harps

Kings of Vegas

Sunday, 4 p.m. at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Kula [CELTIC MUSIC] Somebody wise once told me that Celtic music is essentially island music so the whole Irish/Hawaiian connection makes way more sense to me now. Tropical Harps is a six-piece Maui band that features harps, hammered dulcimer, fiddle, tin whistles, concertina, guitars, ‘ukulele, banjo and vocals. They’re showcasing their latest CD, Upcountry Celtic, in a sort of pre-St. Patrick’s Day celebration. Admission: $10. Call 878-6958.

FridaySaturday, 7:30 p.m. at Iao Theater

Sunday, 7:30 p.m. at Studio Maui, Haiku [MUSIC/POETRY] Richard Fammeree is a poet, guitarist and vocalist who has appeared on NPR, PBS, is the host of “Poetry & Its Music International” at the University of Chicago, and the Director of “UniVerse—United Nations of Poetry” which is an interactive forum and celebration of international poetry promoting peace with poets from Afganistan, Italy, Senegal, The Osage Nation, Bhutan and Haiti.

Jamaica Osorio Heolimelekalani is a 15-year-old Native Hawaiian poet from Oahu. Both will perform selections of their passionate, spiritually and intellectually powerful, awardwinning work. Tickets: $18 adults, $10 keiki. Call 575-9390 or visit www.thestudiomaui.com.

[COMEDY] Morgan Preston and John Bennett are the stars of this Vegas-style show that’s about to broadside Maui. Who else is going to be there? “The show changes from town to town,” said Preston. “Wherever we go, we grab local celebrities and have them hang out with us and take part in the show.” That should make for an interesting evening, along with Preston’s juggling talents, Bennett’s musical flair (no, he’s not gay—I just like the word “flair”) and the ruthless sense of humor both possess. The whole kit and caboodle should bring a party vibe, like that of a show in Vegas. “Well, as ‘Vegas’ as you can do in Hawaii,” said Preston. Welcome to island time, my friend. Welcome to island time. [HEIDI KING]

FILM

Craven’s cult classic gets a transfusion This remake of Wes Craven’s 1977 cultclassic comes with Craven’s seal of approval considering he produced the updated version directed by French horror protégé Alexandre Aja (High Tension).

Aja and co-screenwriter Gregory Levasseur flesh out Craven’s skeletal original script with broad strokes of Cold War nuclear predominance to frame a much gorier and disturbing narrative motif than Craven’s original film.

The Hills Have Eyes

★★★★★ Rated R/105 mins.

A couple celebrates their 25th wedding anniversary on a road trip with their Suburban pulling an 1988 Airstream trailer to California through the New Mexico desert with their three children, son-inlaw, granddaughter and two dogs. A cannibal group of mutated victims of ‘50s era nuke testing lay in wait. Aja ratchets up the crusty gore as the tourists’ numbers diminish and the remaining few are left to fight for their survival. Slack pacing in the film’s first act, and a drawn-out third act, weaken its gut-wrenching horrific punch.

A jaw-dropping opening credit sequence features stock footage of nuclear testing explosions intercut with images of actual deformed babies and 1950s home appliance commercials. Powerful nuclear blast winds course through a test desert community of ghost houses filled with ‘50s era furniture and mannequins dressed in Sunday church clothes. The disturbing collage of images creates an atmosphere of government consummated negligence that puts the viewer on an uncomfortably intimate footing with the grossly misshapen people who later wait in the arid hills to prey on whoever sets foot inside their desolate domain.

The trademark social schisms of Craven’s earlier 1970s work (The Last House on the Left) presents itself with a suburban family from Cleveland led by former police detective “Big Bob” Carter (Ted Levine) and his former hippieturned-Christian wife Ethyl (Kathleen Quinlan). The couple’s oldest daughter Lynn (Vanessa Shaw) and her admittedly meek husband Doug (Aaron Stanford) watch over their new baby while Lynn’s teenaged siblings Bobby (Dan Byrd) and Brenda (Emile De Ravin) trade jibes.

Everything about the Carter family announces their middle class status. Doug works for a cell phone company and he increasingly resembles the ineffectual character that Dustin Hoffman played in

Blood-encrusted vengeance Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs. When unspeakable tortures and murder besiege his family, Doug casts himself as an avenging angel bringing immediate justice on the unfortunate descendants of nuclear testing who have attacked his tribe.

Wes Craven was inspired to write The Hills Have Eyes based on a true story about Scotland’s Sawny Beane family that ambushed, murdered and ate travelers in the 17th Century. The dated nature of the story makes its substitution into the landscape of modern America dubious, and the filmmakers struggle with balancing the flawed narrative logic by blurring its timeframe. Instead of drawing a direct time link to the characters from the age of nuke testing referenced in the opening scene, the writers move the story too far into the present for the connection to work.

Nonetheless, once the story becomes a blood-encrusted vengeance thriller all of its narrative underpinnings go out of the window. The Hills Have Eyes is an intense horror movie that should send more than a few viewers with weak stomachs running for the restroom. MTW

SHOWTIMES

MOVIECAPSULES MAUI FILM FESTIVAL’S CANDLELIGHT CINEMA Wednesday, March 8 5 & 7:30 P.M., CASTLE THEATER IMAGINE ME & YOU - (R) - Comedy - Piper Perabo, Lena Headey, Matthew Goode (Match Point) star in this truly refreshing and unconventional romantic comedy about a bride who discovers love at first sight on her wedding day. Variety raved "chockfull with tart one-liners and pretty posh people, with one major twist: The romantic leads are both women." 90 min.

New This Week FAILURE TO LAUNCH - (PG13) - Comedy, Romance - Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker star. It reminds me of How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. McCo-naughty is charming and sexy and doesn’t want to commit. Parker is a Professional Motivator who’s hired by Tripp’s (McConaughey) parents to get him to finally leave the nest. But have they finally stumbled upon their soulmates?! (Heidi King) THE HILLS HAVE EYES - (R) - Drama, Horror, Thriller - A family sets off to have a fun little road trip down to San Diego. Their tires mysteriously blow out and leave them stranded in the middle of nowhere. Creeping noises and inexplicable things start to happen.....aaaaaaaaaaand... such things as a bloodfest and mutant people. 107 min. (HK) THE LIBERTINE - (R) - Drama - Johnny Depp stars as a scurrilous but disturbingly hot and decidedly free-thinking (read: boozin’ and sexin’) poet and the second Earl of Rochester in 17th century England.

Oh, he’s such a naughty boy. Do you like him now?

How ‘bout now? 104 min. (Samantha Campos) THE SHAGGY DOG - (PG) - Comedy, Family Now Disney is ripping off… Disney. In this “update” of the 1959 Fred MacMurray film of the same name, Tim Allen plays a workaholic District Attorney who turns into the family dog. Man, that’s science fiction! Who’s going to believe Allen is a DA? 98 min. (Anthony Pignataro)

Now Showing AQUAMARINE - (PG) - Comedy, Drama, Family

- Adolescent best friends need a miracle. When a mermaid washes into one of their pools, she promises that she can grant them a wish if they help her out. It’s about growing up, friends and learning that sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the people you love.

Ahhhhh, I got all mushy on ya. (HK) BIG MOMMA’S HOUSE 2 - (PG13) - Comedy - Martin Lawrence is back wearing the fat suit, once again needing to go deep undercover for the F.B.I. Isn’t it amazing how all a man needs to do is dress up like a woman in the movies, and all of a sudden he can run faster than a speeding bullet, leap over buildings in a single bound and kick just about anyone’s ass? Incredible. 99 min. (HK) BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN - (R) - Drama, Romance, Western - Two cowboys work together, then become friends... and more? See how they deal with the blind hatred of society over a span of 20 years. 134 min. (HK) CURIOUS GEORGE - (G) - Animation, Family - How cute is this; Jack Johnson does all of the songs and Will Ferrell, Drew Barrymore and Dick Van Dyke are the main voices. As if the little monkey needed any help getting cuter. That is just frickin’ precious. Oh yeah, you know who Curious George is, right? The monkey that gets in trouble all of the time. Think back, you grew up on this stuff. 82 min. (HK) DATE MOVIE - (PG13) - Comedy, Romance - Two of the writers for “Scary Movie” put this one together. It looks hilarious and usually spoof movies don’t impress me. I guess you can’t really go wrong with making fun of relationships and the games we play. 83 min. (HK) DOOGAL - (G) - Animation - Based on a U.K. children’s series. A variety of animals, the leader being a dog, go on a dangerous voyage to save the world from falling into the hands of the evil wizard, ZeeBadee. Voices of Whoopi Goldberg, Jimmy Fallon, Chevy Chase, Kylie Minogue, Kevin Smith and Jon Stewart. 81 min. (HK) EIGHT BELOW - (PG) - Action, Adventure - Paul Walker stars in this new Disney movie about sled dogs.

It takes place in Antarctica where a series of events leads to eight sled dogs being stuck out in a storm.

Based on an article in National Geographic.

Unfortunately, it’s cold weather, so Walker will probably be keeping all of his clothes on. (HK) FINAL DESTINATION 3 - (R) - Thriller, Horror Follows the same story line as the first two. High school girl predicts a tragic incident, this time it’s a roller coaster accident, then it happens. The people she convinced to not ride the ride now have to try and cheat death. 92 min. (HK)

Live Music Every Night

FIREWALL - (R) - Action, Thriller - Harrison Ford stars as the loving husband and father that just happens to work at a huge bank and be the software creator. Paul Bettany plays the villan that kidnaps Ford’s family in order to rob the bank. Although we’ve seen the basic story before, it looks like a good one. 100 min. (HK) FREEDOMLAND - (R) - Drama - Samuel L. Jackson and Julianne Moore star in this thriller about a woman who gets car-jacked with her 4 year old son still inside.

But the case keeps getting creepier as we find out the boy may be lost in the old abandoned child asylum.

What is really going on here? 113 min. (HK) MADEA’S FAMILY REUNION - (PG13) - Comedy, Drama - Tyler Perry is back with another follow up that started with Diary of a Mad Black Woman. The whole family is having issues from weddings to children to abusive lovers. You know Madea is gonna lay the smack down. 107 min. (HK) MRS. HENDERSON PRESENTS - (R) - Comedy, Drama - When Mrs. Henderson is widowed, she discovers that she owns an old abandoned theater. After fixing it up, the community is shocked to find that she plans on having the girls in the show perform nude. But hey, sex sells. 102 min. (HK) THE NEW WORLD - PG13 - Adventure, Drama - One of the most famous romances of all time, John Smith and Pocahontas. I highly doubt Smith was as hot as Colin Farrell though. You all know the story, I just hope that it’s more historically correct than the Disney version. 150 min. (HK) PINK PANTHER - PG - Comedy - Steve Martin plays well-to-do Inspector Clouseau. The Pink Panther is an amazing diamond that has been stolen and the Inspector, through “unintentional” slapstick comedy and dumb luck, is trying to catch the culprit. Don’t forget about his hilarious accent. 92 min. (HK) RUNNING SCARED - (R) - Crime, Drama - Paul Walker plays Joey Gazelle (have you known many Gazelles in your life? I sure haven’t) in this new mob thriller directed by Wayne Kramer. Long story short, Gazelle is a low-level mob guy who ends up pissing off his bosses, who then threaten Gazelle’s family. Big surprise there! Also stars Cameron Bright. 119 min. (AP) 16 BLOCKS - (PG13) - Action, Thriller - Bruce Willis plays an aging cop that is assigned to get Mos Def’s character from the jail to a courthouse. The problem is; cops want dude dead. It’s tough to be a cop running from the police. 101 min. (HK) TRANSAMERICA - (R) - Comedy, Drama - A conservative transsexual woman finds out she produced a son when she was a male. They meet and end up having to take a road trip together. Felicity Huffman stars.

In case you’re wondering; transsexuals are people that have actually had the operations to make them a different sex than they were originally. 103 min. (HK) ULTRAVIOLET - (PG13) - Action, Sci-Fi - For those of you who missed Aeon Flux back in December but can’t wait for it to come out on DVD, have no fear! This is the exact same movie—hot chicks, lots of gunplay, flashy future, evil government—except with Milla Jovovich instead of Charlize Theron. I can hardly wait! (AP) WHEN A STRANGER CALLS - PG13 - Horror, Thriller - Remake of the 1979 movie that spawned one of my favorite urban legends.

JEFF THORPE OF SIRUS B POSSE ON WHAT HE KNOWS OF WARSAW POLAND BROTHERS: I used to play with Kate in a funk band in Eugene, Oregon. She’s been playing with Warsaw Poland Brothers for four years although they’ve been together for a while. I’ve known them for years and saw

them play recently in Berkeley.

I think they’re based out of Southern California. As far as genres go, they’re all across the board. They play everything from rockin’ ska to reggae and Irish drinking songs. I know when they play their week of Oahu shows, they do entire gigs of Irish songs at the pubs there.

The core members are brothers who play drums, guitar and sing, with Kate playing trumpet, keyboards and bass— and they all switch instruments. They’re always doing crazy stuff.

Jeffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questions for Kate Presley of Warsaw Poland Brothers: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sponsored by Jagermeister.

How did that happen?

One of our former managers, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now touring with Louis XIV, showed our tour schedule to Jagermeister representatives, who decided we should get on. And their sales have increased by 20 percent in that market of where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing, along with the Toasters, who are also sponsored by them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a big boost for us.

What are some of your biggest influences, musically?

[Actually answered by Chris Poland of Warsaw Poland Brothers]: All Jamaican stylesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from rock-steady to dancehall, Celtic music, bluegrass, jazz, and West Coast punk.

We listen to Desmond Tucker, Madness, the Pogues, Bad Religion and AFI. Basically, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re mods who know how to rock.

KATE ON WHAT SHE KNOWS OF SIRUS B POSSE: Jeff and I have been musician friends for years and years. His band is kinda like soul and funky music with a little reggae. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we used to play together, and he continued on with that on Maui.

Kateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questions for Jeff: How has living in the islands changed your playing?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;EVERYBODY IN THE BAND IS INTO RARE JAZZ AND FUNK, SO WE MIX IT IN TO KEEP THE ENERGY LEVEL HIGH.â&#x20AC;?

IRISH TODAY, HUNGOVER TOMORROW!

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS SAM@MAUITIME.COM

How many shows per year do you play and in what states?

We tour nationally, like, 300 days a year, and from Colorado to Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;i on a regular basis.

I was always a big reggae fan. But when you live on an island, you begin to understand the relevance of playing dub stuff. The reggae always goes over well hereâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit-or-miss with some crowds on the mainland. But everybody in the band is into rare jazz and funk, so we mix it in to keep the energy level high.

How often can you play on Maui? Can you play more than a couple times a month?

You can play every night of the week if you want. But we space out shows to keep it fresh.

We generally do Charleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Ale House, and Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Beach or Casanova, once a month each.

What are the logistics of getting gear and where do you find rehearsal space?

We have our own PA and gearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which is tricky for mainland bands, which is why youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be borrowing ours. We rehearse in the Pauwela Cannery and we all live upcountry so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty convenient.

Do musicians come and go frequently?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always live here long but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the same core members for two years now, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stronger than ever as a unit. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also good friends and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any plans for disbanding. Plus, we have a websiteâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;www.sirusb.comâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a new CD, Jumpstart the Revolution, and our music is featured on a new Jaws surf DVD called Ten Years Later. MTW

CAERIEL CRESTIN

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Taking a stand isn’t really one of your most developed talents. Your position tends to slide out from under you, sucked out to sea like fine sand. Suddenly the whole idea seems pointless, or the side you’re purporting to oppose has begun to make sense. So what do you do when someone (like your lover) or something (like your job) requires you to be a consistent advocate of something you only believe in part-time? You could, naturally, reject the idea outright (and possibly lose job or lover). Or you could try to make them feel guilty for forcing you into a role that doesn’t come naturally. Or you could actually go for it, full-on, and see how far you can stretch to hang on to something you love. Your choice.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Being the center of the universe sucks, doesn’t it? If someone nearby is in a bad mood, it’s obviously because you’ve done something wrong. If the people around you have problems, it’s clearly your job to solve them. Even if you can logically dismiss these irrational and self-hindering illusions, emotionally it’s not so easy. Nevertheless, you must try. You can’t solve the world’s problems, at least not this week. Assume you have nothing to do with anything happening around you unless someone points out the correlation. Even then, don’t necessarily take their convictions at face value—ask them to prove it.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Tell the voice of reason to go screw itself. I know that’s weird advice to give a Taurus, of all people, but this week it’s necessary. Sometimes you just have to embrace illogic or attempt the seemingly impossible. Your willingness to venture into realms where common sense and reason dare not enter is what separates you from the androids. That’s the only place art, music, love and inspired creativity can occur. It’s certainly not safe or pain-free, risk-free, or a guarantee of success. That’s part of what makes it so great. This week the unknown is definitely calling. The question is: will you answer?

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Backpedaling isn’t usually your thing. You despise having to eat your words or apologize for your actions, but every once in a while, it’s simply warranted. If you want to move forward with a clear conscience and without some big regret or mistake dragging you down, you know what you’ve got to do. There’s no point in waiting; continuing on as you have will only mean you’ve got more terrain to cover when retracing your steps. Do what you’ve got to do, and better now than five minutes, five days, or five years from now.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

We offer competitive pay, generous employee discount, 401K plan, Medical and Dental insurance, and opportunity for career advancement.

I have yet to meet a Cancer who doesn’t like dancing, secretly. Many of you are reluctant to shake your booty outside the privacy of your own bedroom, but that doesn’t mean you never get your groove on. Once I discovered this endearing secret, I wondered what other fantastic mysteries you’d been hiding, and also wondered why you’d keep them from us, who would only love you more for them. Shatter the silence, darling. It’s about time. Tell us your secret habits (write Caeriel@yahoo.com). Don’t be shy. Trust me, they can only add to your appeal.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Sometimes leadership is all about delegation. Let’s face it, as wonderful and talented as you are, there are just some people you rub the wrong way. In this particular circumstance, you might not be the best person to take your team towards its goal(s). That means you might have to swallow your pride and step aside so someone else can deliver the goods, just this once. That’s insanely hard to do, I know, but if it’s really a choice between stubbornly maintaining the status quo and failing, or letting someone else shine and being part of a successful team, which would you really prefer?

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Long on Short on

You haven’t been laughing at much, lately. Don’t tell me it’s because the world is a miserable place.

Although there’s a lot of pain and sadness floating around, there’s also loads of funny. I suspect you’re just not seeing them because you’re too busy; only the most dire and urgent news penetrates your little bubble. You need to laugh more, darling. It’s as simple as that. Make time and space for things that are lighthearted, inspiring, beautiful or just genuinely funny. All your other important shit has got to shove over to make room for you to laugh in—because that’s important, too.

Bangin' Tunes

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) On the one hand, you’ve got the siren song of friends, pleasure and pure hedonism. On the other, you’ve got the pressures of responsibility and duty, and the lure of a kind of a notoriety, wealth or fame.

You may have deluded yourself that you can follow both paths, but I’m here to disabuse you of that notion. You can’t—at least not this week. Trying would mean you’d only give each one half the energy it needs to be successful or enjoyable. It’s time to decide which way you’ll go. This isn’t a longterm decision; just how you’ll spend the next three months. Which will you be: the person everyone can always count on for a laugh or the responsible one that everyone can always count on?

Advertising Mumbo Jumbo

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Monkey

My apartment, the last few months, has been cycling through Scorpionic extremes. My laziness or busy-ness contribute to a steady acquisition of clutter until I can stand it no longer, and I spend a few intense hours cleaning and tidying everything. Then the cycle begins again. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Although in your case, the housekeeping (or lack of) refers to your soul, not your house.

I’m not about to suggest some anal, Virgo-inspired schedule which requires you to tidy periodically and avoid such chaos entirely. All I’m recommending is that you do your periodic cleaning-out a bit early this time around. Get your house in order this week. You’ll need lots of internal space and clarity for what’s coming up.

Spankers

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) This week you’re liable to get lots of positive reinforcement for your bad habits. Here’s hoping you can let it roll off your back. It’d be a shame to take that one step closer to full-blown alcoholism just because people really enjoy you when you’re drunk. It’s a shame not just because being a fulltime lush would suck in and of itself; people are avid advocates of your naughtiest sides only because they’re suitably rare. If they were to become the main faces you showed the world, they’d get old right quick. Enjoy the attention you get for being “bad,” but don’t let it take you off the wellchosen path you’re already on.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) There’s no formula to being funny. You also can’t conduct a love affair according to some selfhelp guide, raise kids with a standardized rulebook, or make accolade-worthy art from a kit. Life’s most important and valuable events only work well when you’re truly present in the moment, and reacting to them in a fresh way every time. It’s one thing to draw upon your experience, and quite another to try to duplicate it. Beware exactly that temptation this week, when a seemingly familiar situation presents itself. Reacting the same way you did last time would be a bad idea. This time, please, please try something new.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) You’re treading water, a little. The good news is you’re doing fine; you certainly haven’t lost any ground. Neither, though, have you gained any. This pattern has every sign of continuing for a long time, unless you find a radical way to break out of it. Never fear, I’ve already figured out one possible solution for you: Just for one week, get up an hour earlier. Go to bed a little earlier if necessary, but make it happen, every day, for seven days. Craft a strong intention of what you’ll do with these seven extra hours this week, then just do it. It’s a ridiculously simple plan, I know. But it also just so happens to be one that’ll work.

Anyone who is anyone knows that March 8 was International Women’s Day. But what they may not know is that in 1981, the U.S. Congress designated a subsequent National Women’s History Week. Then six years later, those stodgy Congressmen extended it to an entire Women’s History Month.

Wow, thanks.

According to the U.S. Census, there are 149.1 million women—versus 144.5 million men (well, that figures)—in the U.S. at last count. Also, interestingly enough, 55 percent of women have read literature in the past 12 months, as opposed to 38 percent for men.

Surprised? Me neither.

That’s why I’ve compiled a list below of my latest readings.

What I Just Finished Reading: “Blogs to Riches: The Haves and Have-Nots of the Blogging Boom.” By Clive Thompson, newyorkmetro.com “Little Wing: When homing pigeons leave home.” By Susan Orlean, The New Yorker, Feb. 13 & 20, 2006 Girlgonemad and Iloveyourmom bloggers on nerve.com “Would You Like to See My Etchings? It’s not just a myth: Creative types really do get more action. But are they any good?” by Em & Lo, newyorkmetro.com Margot Berwin’s “The Waxer,” nerve.com… about one woman’s experience getting a Brazilian wax.

Jane Stevenson’s “In the Raw,” nerve.com… about what it’s like to be one of the naked girls Japanese businessmen eat sushi off of.

What I’m Reading Now: “A Village Transformed: Lesbian couples in New Paltz, N.Y., discuss their shared commitment, their community pride—and their desire to be left alone, now that the revolution they brought East is spreading up and down the coast.” By Brita Brundage, The Fairfield County Weekly, in the anthology Notes from the Underground—The Most Outrageous Stories from the Alternative Press, edited by Nancy Armstrong “Pucker Up: Tomatoes Can Be Torture, Parts 1-3” by Tristan Taormino, villagevoice.com, Mar. 3, 2006… about eroticizing humiliation, from the sex educator/lesbian bondage author and Village Voice columnist. Geez, how can I get that job?

Cause 4 Paws: Maui Humane Society Newsletter… What can I say? It’s a tearjerker.

What I’m Going to Read Next: Break, Blow, Burn: Camille Paglia Reads Forty-Three of the World’s Best Poems by Camille Paglia I mean, who doesn’t want to read this? I may not agree with everything Paglia says but I find the edgy, feminist yet sex-obsessed pop culture critic immensely entertaining. Especially when she says things like she’s “unsure whether the West’s chaotic personalism can prevail against the totalizing creeds that menace it,” or that the world of Walt Whitman is “a plush matrix or webwork of gummy secretions.” I don’t know why but Paglia’s writing makes me giggle and blush like a prepubescent schoolgirl.

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden I know, I know—you all have read this one already. And sorry, but I totally saw the movie without reading the book first. But I’m finally succumbing to the demands of my mother, who insists it’s a great read. Although I could’ve sworn I also saw The Fastest Ship: Historical Romance Novel with Pirates, Privateers; Tall Sailing Ships; British Royal Navy; and HMS Warrior, England’s First Iron-Clad Warship by Larita Arnold on her nightstand, too.

Good Vibrations catalog I just got it in the mail but haven’t had time to check it out yet.
