		<title>Shrills and Shivers on Premiere of &#8216;The River&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If the bloody Blair Witch-style shot of the dead cameraman didn&#39;t freak you out, then maybe those creepy dolls hanging from the tree did. Last night&#39;s two-hour premiere of The River screamed with eerie scenes and rekindled a few recurring nightmares of mine.

		<title>See Honolulu from Atop Waahlia Ridge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When reaching the serene state park on Wa&#8216;ahila Ridge, cool, refreshing air instantly let&#39;s you know that you&#39;ve made it to the top of St. Louis Heights, an area guarded by the vast Norfolk pine trees standing astutely at the park&#39;s entrance. They shade and protect the ridge while padding the ground with several layers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bruce Fisher spends his days telling visitors about Hawai&#8216;i, but his own first impressions are somewhat hazy. His first visit was when he moved here in 1992.

		<title>Are UDOWN?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Take Exit 24B, off of the freeway to University Ave., and you&#39;ll notice the &#34;U&#34; in the bright green road sign looks a bit funny. The vowel has a slight modification with an arrow in the middle, pointing downward to the whizzing cars below. Hey, did I just see a downward arrow in that &#34;U&#34;? [...]]]></description>

		<title>Navigating Hawaii: Windward, Leeward, Mauka, Makai</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most unique aspects of Hawai&#8216;i has got to be its microclimates. One side of the island may be raining buckets while at the same time, the other side will be soaking up the sun. These characteristics describe areas of the island we often refer to as the &#34;windward&#34; and &#34;leeward&#34; sides. It&#39;s [...]]]></description>
