Everyone had a good Easter weekend, right? Didn't eat too much chocolate, or get too much sun? Good and good. Me, didn't do much besides hang out, visit some friends and relax. It was very chill, and part of the general happiness I felt was probably due to a nice letter I received from Rick W. Volner, Jr., the General Manager of the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company (HC&S). |

News of the WeirdApril 11, 2012 | 11:10 AMby Chuck ShepherdEVERYONE BODY-PIERCE!
Like most states with active trade associations of barbers and beauticians, Iowa strictly regulates those professions, requiring 2,100 hours of training plus continuing education–but also like many other states, Iowa does not regulate body piercers at all (though it forbids minors from getting tattoos). Thus, the puncturing of body parts and insertion of jewelry or other objects under the skin can be done by anyone, with or without formal training, under no one's watchful eye except the customer's. (A few cities' ordinances require a minimum age to get pierced.) Said one professional piercer to the Des Moines Register for a March report, "The lack of education in this industry is scary." |

“A shell crashed ashore. In the dun-colored houses along Kahului’s waterfront, stevedores and their women heard the gun again, like a door slamming, and again the crash of the shell. The Jap fired ten rounds in all. Then the submarine disappeared in the night. Announcing this attack on an undefended, unimportant cane-&-pineapple port, the U.S. Navy reported: no casualties, negligible damage.”
-From “Dusk in Kahului,” Time Magazine, Dec. 28, 1941 |
