"Chasing Rainbows" | 2010 Hawaii Film Festival selection

2010-10-11T19:56:00.001-07:00

via chasingrainbowsfilm.com

The Film

The battle between mainstream conservatives and the homosexual movement in America all started in Hawaii in the 1990s with the first lawsuit from a same sex couple suing a state over the right to marry.
Synopsis

Hawaii is still on the verge of joining several other states in adopting a same sex union law. HB 444, the Hawaii Civil Unions bill, generated tremendous controversy in our state. It is an issue that is dividing churches, families, generations and many in the workplace. Are a select few in our population pushing an agenda that if passed on the short term, will affect how the vast majority of us live out our lives in the long term?

We took a look at a number of profound questions in the search for answers:

What is a civil union, and how does it differ from marriage? Is this a religious, civil rights or political issue? Does a bill for civil unions represent the vast majority of the people’s needs? Who are the driving forces behind this movement and why is it so important to them?

Is being gay or straight a personal preference, an environmental influence, a hereditary or predetermined genetic factor? Are homosexuals in fact seeking equal rights and benefits under the law, or are they rather seeking to normalize and sanctify same-sex partner relationships and elevate those relationships to a plateau with the same legal and moral status of a heterosexual marriage? And why is Hawaii so pivotal in setting the standard for the rest of the nation?

Is this strictly a constitutional issue? What will be the long-term outcome from such civil unions or same sex marriage in the United States? How will it affect the traditional marriage, the traditional family? Can it possibly change the fabric of our society, as we know it today? And more importantly, what do established academically certified research studies tell us about these issues?

We explored the hard facts behind what’s driving the civil unions and same sex movement across America, who’s involved and why they believe what they believe. We took a fair and impartial look at each of the components involved in the proposed civil unions law and how they might affect Hawaii. And along the way, we met with the many people and factions that are for or against such a law and heard why they have taken the stance they do.

We talked with the legislators and others who crafted and introduced the civil unions bill and those who vehemently opposed it. We talked with clergy on both sides of the issue and examined their differing views.

We chatted with professional psychologists and legal experts to try and determine the effects of a civil unions law. We looked at what has happened in other states and bring you revealing stories from people who have been impacted by similar laws.

In Chasing Rainbows we meet, spend time with and get to know a few of the people in Hawaii that would benefit from such a law – and along the way we ask you, the people of America, what you know, think and believe, and why.

In Chasing Rainbows we take you down a fact-finding path in search of the truth. It’s our goal to be accountable to you and provide a fair, unbiased and detailed view of all the issues involved. In the end it will be up to you to decide just how you feel about civil unions and same-sex marriage, but we’ll warn you: the truth may be surprising.

Good one for the uninitiated.

But given the unending array of dim sum available, and the quick clip of dim sum carts speeding by in a dim sum restaurant, you might try our family's standard MO / Flow Chart:

Rush to an open table -> Grab first available cart swinging by -> Yell, if necessary, at cart ladies to stop -> Try it. You might very well like it!

And, yes, fighting over the bill when done is absolutely de rigueur!

Fishbowl Faucet Encourages Water Conservation - Or Else via @Inhabitat

via inhabitat.com

Awesome, clever, and fun!

Excerpt:
"For his appropriately titled Poor Little Fishbowl Sink, designer Yan Lu created a very direct incentive to minimize water usage – when you turn the faucet on, the water level in the fishbowl decreases. It reminds us how precious this resource is, and how our everyday actions can affect the creatures around us. It also reminds us of our childhood pet goldfish, aww. Read on to learn more about this fish-traumatizing faucet."

"a voice so absurdly truthful"

2010-05-14T13:27:00.001-07:00

The Uses of Poetry

This was a day when I did nothing,
aside from reading the newspaper,
taking both breakfast and lunch by myself
in the kitchen, dozing after lunch
until the middle of the afternoon. Then
I read one poem by Zbigniew Herbert
in which he thanked God for the many beautiful
things in this world, in a voice so absurdly
truthful, the entire wrecked day was redeemed.

Capturing end of school year sentiments: "Spring never felt like a beginning" by A. E. Stallings, (h/t @amandafrench

2010-05-14T12:50:00.001-07:00

Seasonal Anxiety

Spring never felt like a beginning—
Something, perhaps, to do with school
And all the school-year's slow unspinning
From wound-up time as from a spool
Aimed at Summer's golden rule.

Beginnings are for autumn days
Keen as newly-sharpened pencils:
The promise of new friends, straight A's,
When hopes are drawn as clear as stencils
With yet no errors to erase.

Spring comes too late. The incompletes
Can't be made up. What wasn't learned
Looks at its neighbor's page and cheats,
But failure too is something earned.
Library books must be returned

And fines paid for the overdue
Procrastinations that accrue.
Finals impend—the term's too brief
For turning over a fresh leaf.
Too late, the daffodils come through.

An island-wide community event sponsored by First Prez Ko‘olau

· Free “Egg Hunt” at 9 am
· Food booths
· Giant Inflatables
· Face painting
· Balloon Art
· Food and fun!

Insider’s hint:
If you’re bringing kids, plan to arrive at 8:30 am so you can park, get oriented, and be ready for the 9 am golf ball/egg hunt start. Don’t be late: those 10,000 golf balls get swooped up in about 2 minutes! But it’s soooo much fun! Stick around for inflatables, food and fun.

And please come say hi to me! I’ll be in the Fun Food booth scooping popcorn, swirling cotton candy, and who knows what else!

Okonomiyaki making at Chibo

2010-03-13T00:23:00.001-08:00

Not exactly stop-action video, but as close as I can get with my little iPhone.

We loved watching the chef cook okonomiyaki, teppanyaki, and yakisoba on the grill fronting our counter seats. This restaurant has wonderful ambience, and a very friendly feeling. The background jazz music set the perfect tone for a relaxing, delicious evening.
