It's been quite a while since a thriller or murder mystery was presented on Maui, and I can't think of a more fitting location than the intimate ProArts Playhouse in Kihei. ProArts will open Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap," the longest-running play in history, Friday, Feb. 17. One of Christie's seminal works, "The Mousetrap" started off in 1947 as a radio play titled "Three Blind Mice" before evolving into its current stage version which opened in London's West End in 1952 and has been running ever since. The play is also known for its twist ending, which at the end of every performance audience members and journalists are asked not to reveal.
In addition to holding the Guinness Book of World Records title for longest-running play, Christie ranks third in all-time literary sales behind only the Bible and William Shakespeare. To add a little spooky into the mix, Christie was herself part of a real-life unsolved mystery when she disappeared for 11 days in 1926 after discovering her husband was having an affair. She was eventually discovered as a guest at the Old Swan Hotel in Yorkshire, registered under the name of Mrs. Teresa Neele of Cape Town, South Africa. Christie had no recollection of what had transpired over the 11 days, but doctors suspected she suffered an acute nervous breakdown that accounted for the temporary memory loss. Although it's purely speculative on my part, perhaps those memories subconsciously found their way into the plot of "The Mousetrap."
Although today Christie's framework might seem clichd, it is Christie copycats who have made it so over the past 80 years. Her mystery revolves around eight guests who are snowed in at a wealthy British manor. One by one they arrive and the topic of conversation turns to the recent murder of a woman in London.

I recently interviewed cast member Jennifer Rose about the upcoming production. Rose is a great lover of British plays and the culture in general. She directed Harold Pinter's "The Homecoming" in September 2010, and portrayed Madame Arcati in Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit" in November 2007, directed by Kristi Scott. Rose reunites with "The Mousetrap" director Kristi Scott in this ProArts production.
I asked why she's so drawn to British projects like "The Mousetrap."
"I love the concise language aspects of British English. It's fun because while it is a whole other culture, it is still a shared language. We don't have to wonder what the author intended, no translation is needed and we can hear that voice."
I commented that a proper British accent is difficult for some actors, yet it seems so easy for her.
"It's from years of watching 'Masterpiece Theater,' " she laughed. "Also I grew up in Washington State and Victoria was a mere boat ride away. Every year for my birthday, we would stay at the Empress Hotel and have high tea, but it is probably more influenced by BBC shows and Monty Python!"
Jennifer is co-starring with her husband, Chris Rose. I asked her what it is like to perform with a spouse.
"It's a wonderful way to spend more time with each other. It's creative and fun, even sharing the drive to the theater. There's much more quality time than just going out to dinner."
What both Jennifer and Chris Rose are most excited about is a Kihei theater. "I absolutely love that we now have theater in Kihei on a regular basis. That rocks!"

Historical Traveler Reviews Hilton Sanya Resort & Spa
Lovely experience to remember
I chosed Hilton Sanya because of the renowned top hotel brand. Upon arrival, I and my girlfriend were impressed by the Hilton smiles like the rest of the world, and we were accompanied by the smiles during the rest of our stay.
I have to agree the excellence of the sandy beach, the elegant restaurants and bars, the pools and the spa... especially the landscape idea of terrace, so perfectly matched with pools and garden. We spend 3 hours in a Spa villa, just so wonderful. Our private valet guided us to experience what she tailored for us after ask us a few questions. I got the Yin Yang Aromatic massage and my wife got two, the massage and something Mud Renew. we were both lost when we were told the end of our time. we reluctantly left the villa and we spent another 2 hours diping in the three pools of different temperature and talking and reading in the relax room.
Actually the service here can not be perfect, say to match Hilton standard. Sometime we were neglected by the waiters. No wonder to get to know the resort just opened 4 months ago. So generally, for this big new resort, the service is good enough. I wish after several months, I can enjoy the best service when I come back.
by the way, I like the kids happily playing here, there are happy everywhere, we too, played 5 minutes in the Kids Paradise. Haha, my future children will play like this...
Lovely Pool
I brought my family to the Hilton last week, have to say that the facilities are really great, rooms are spacious and my son loved the pool so much that had to force him leave for meals. Tried to swim in the night as well, cool. Did not encounter problems of the service, may be due to the same language. Chinese restaurant is very good, nice food and price are fair, you could choose to have a meal for 2 adults and 1 kid at around 200 RMB.
Great looking but dismal service
I stayed at the Hilton in Sanya with a group of friends for 2 nights. On looks alone, the resort was very impressive. The rooms were spacious as well as creatively decorated and designed and therefore very memorable. The poolside area was also stunning and finding ourselves merely metres from a beautiful white beach was a great plus. I would also say that the food throughout our stay was quite tasty (although not as good as in luxury hotels in major Chinese cities).
Unfortunately, I have to endorse what many reviewers have already said on this forum and that is that what could have been a faultless couple of days at what appears to be a first class resort was marred by extremely poor service. The service was not rude because everyone who attended to us was unfailingly courteous and pleasant. However, staff were clearly very inexperienced and had no idea what 5 star service is about. Therefore, it is also the fault of management as they have not drilled their people well at all.
Examples of the appalling service include:
* being given a keycard to the wrong guest room upon check in (not once but twice), thereby exposing me and another guest whom I did not know to an embarrassing encounter;
* being unable to have a pedicure at the spa because there was no-one available to attend to me all that day;
* being reminded (politely of course) when I asked to check out 45 minutes later than the scheduled check out time that I would be charged a half day rate for late check out.
Guests who do not speak Chinese must also be prepared for difficulties in communicating with staff.
I really would like to give this resort a higher rating and a more positive review, because, as I said, the staff do try but have not been trained adequately. The Hilton name will continue to be compromised until something is done about it.
Relaxing getaway
We enjoyed a long weekend break here for our wedding anniversary. Although we had some initial troubles trying to arrange an accommodation + spa package via email (direct with the hotel) we were subsequently given very personalised service and greatly enjoyed our stay.
Famililar with the Chinese tendency to compare their attractions with other famous destinations we arrived with very few expectations of 'China's Hawaii', but were pleasantly surprised. As a short getaway within China for those who live and work here, it makes for an easy option without customs and immigration queues.
At the hotel we were welcomed personally by Sally Ooi, the spa manager, and enjoyed two great massages at the spa. We were left a little cold by the facial treatment we had there - it felt too 'clinical' for the setting and went for a bit too long (our backs were sore from lying still for one hour).
My husband also asked the hotel to put some flowers in our room as an anniversary surprise, and the staff took the task to hand to provide an unforgettable arrangement for us complete with some creative touches of their own!
The hotel design is very tasteful, and conducive to relaxation. Being at the far end of Yalong bay beach with no other hotels (yet) beyond it, it certainly seems to most quiet of the resorts, and enables you to enjoy that sense of being away from it all if you look in the direction of the unbuilt stretch of beach. The pool design works well to ensure that you can find a spot to sunbathe and take a dip without feeling like you are in one big pool with 300 other guests.
Food was a bit disappointing - limited variety and not fantastic quality - but this is fairly typical of hotels that are still in the soft-opening period. We also ate at the specialty restaurant 'Ize' and felt this was really not worth the money and the atmosphere in the restaurant was completely at odds with the warmth of the whole resort.
We did enjoy our stay, felt suitably rejuvenated and spent the last day of our getaway planning how soon we could come back......
Sanya - Hit or Miss!
I had a hard time deciding between the Sheraton and the Hilton, and finally chose the Hilton because of a special package (breakfast/spa/golf included in rate). As everyone else said, the rooms are nice and have an airy resort feel to them. The spa was a "miss" for me, on many levels. The Spa Retreat is separated from main guestroom buildings, so it's a short 2 minute walk. But in sweltering sweaty humid 100 degree weather, this walk seems a lot longer. The treatment rooms are pavilion style (which I loved at the Datai in Langkawai) but this was also a problem, it was SOO bright that by the time I turned over onto my back half way through my massage I was temporarily blinded, this happened again at the end of the massage after the therapist took the face towel off my eyes. The massage itself was a 2 on a scale of 1-10. I wondered if the therapist had any training at all, and wasn't too happy about her coughing, clearing her throat, blowing her nose, etc. throughout the massage. If you've a therapist and you have a cold, you shouldn't be touching people and breathing on them as you hover over their head! Regarding the F&B, lunch was a little slow but nothing to complain about. We also went to the Sheraton for lunch (great food) but also encountered the same slow service. But this can be said for most of China. As plates are cleared, there's no, "Anything else? How about dessert? Alright, should I get the check for you?" It's more like someone clears the plates and then you're there for another 10 minutes with no one in sight. Finally I got up and found someone and asked for the check. That was at the Sheraton, but this sort of thing happens to us all the time in China, so I've gotten a bit used to it. My biggest beef was with the Chinese restaurant back at the Hilton. After our Sheraton lunch, we came back to the Hilton and took a peek at the Chinese restaurant. The decor was beautiful and reminded me of Ye Shanghai. So we decided to have dessert, sago milk for me and fruit for my dad. After 20 minutes, I asked the server, "Is our food coming soon?" And she said, yes, I'll tell them to prepare it now. If her English was correct - was the order going in NOW? After 20 minutes???? Or, did she mean she was checking on it? After another 10 minutes, my sago milk came out. Within minutes, I was almost done and the fruit was nowhere in sight. I flagged down another waitress and said, we've been waiting a long time for the fruit! In my mind I was thinking maybe it'll come out in an ornate half pineapple or an intricately carved watermelon, but 10 minutes later, the fruit arrived. It was four cherry tomatoes, a slice of dragon fruit, a slice of orange, and a slice of watermelon. I asked the waitress why it took so long and she said the chef is very busy, he had to cut the fruit.... It didn't make sense but she starting slinking away so that was the end of that. We were ready to leave and couldn't get anyone's attention for the check. We finally got up and went to the reception area and asked for our check but I again mentioned how annoying it was to wait 40 minutes for 4-5 slices of fruit. Our waitress asked us to wait to check if we could cancel it and we started talking to the receptionist and explained what happened. He apologized and said we shouldn't have to wait so long and we don't have to pay for it. It was a nice gesture and we appreciated it. All and all, the properties themselves are 5 star, it's the staff that will ultimately make the difference in service. Most of the employees we encountered did have below average English skills, but they do seem motivated and sincere in trying to help. We have another two days left, so we'll see about the rest of the stay.......
Hilton - Beautiful but Stay away from Spa and Salon
Just came back after 4 days. They upgraded us to a gorgeous suite the size of the average family's mansion. Front and center ocean view, beautiful decor. 2 balconies to ourselves. BUT:
1. food service very very uneven, no timing, entree before appetizer, staff loafing around instead of paying attention, food delivery with thumb INSIDE your food etc.
2. Spa, still barbaric in terms of services. They have a protocol so even if you say you are under a time constraint they still make you sit there in the waiting area as you MUST drink their awful tepid tea so they can check the box off that you got this horrid luke warm whatever thing is.
3. Ask for any kind of massage and you get this very hard knuckle imbedded into your soft tissue - scream and they think you are enjoying it.
4. Salon, oh forget about going. Went for a wash and blow dry, the guy started washing your hair while you are seated, small towell drape, water dripping down your back as he squirts water into your hair, and uses one hand to swish your hair. Horrible experience. He blew dry my hair and after 2 minutes gave up and just said "no good". Your left with wet hair and a mess.
You check out at the spa entrance and they said you get wash hair but no pricing if you don't get blow dry. UGH.
5. We tried the Sheraton Hotel and Marriott for food, all about the same. Best meal was in one of their high end local seafood. Exceptional quality food and crap service but it was entertaining to see the local and other tourists scarf down unreasonable quantities of food.
Sanya has a long way to go to become the next Hawaii (their benchmark) but all the same, beach was great. Stay away from the Li/Miao village unless you like theme parks, the other tours again are not "cultural". Lack of English or any language translation and direction. Spend US $33 and visit the Kwun Yin statue and feel relieved it wasn't more.
All in all ok but ways to go.
Relaxed Easter Holidays
We spent 4 days there and should say that we are very much enjoying. Decoration is predominantly teak wood column, stucco walls and stone floor. Nice pitched high ceiling are found at important locations. Regret to say that the whole hotel lacks one very impressive view that would stick into your memory. Yet, the pool is vast and partitioned into many different areas. The bigger leisure pool extends itself with lengthy canals across the whole width of the landscape area. The central rectangular pool is large and spacious enough for lap swimming for a lot of guest. Artifical sandy beaches add variety to the experience. The room at 1/F is huge. Open circular bathtub is a really eyecatching feature. All sanitary wares are nice "K**ler" brand. The Chinese Restaurant offer pricy regional food. The settings is OK for the price, though. The Big Kitchen offers regular hotel menu and some south east asia crusine which we found too spicy for our cantonese taste. Breakfast time can be crowdy. Being a conference hotel, you could find eager businesspeople lurking around, sitting at your table, making it no nicer than a factory canteen. One last complaint, pillows are smelly, the second time we encounter such problem in a few months period for the same hotel group.
Great Design, Excellent Pool, Absurb Service
The room was very spacious with contemporary decor. The circular bath tub, rainforest shower head and open plan washroom design was magnificent. The pool area was the best among the other nearby hotels ( Marriott, Sheraton, Gloria.
However, the Chinese restaurant charges US$21 for 1 pot of tea was ridiculous. Other dishes only cost US$7-10! The hot food served in buffet are not hot. Everything is lukewarm or cold.
We have also encountered two absurb incidents:
1. On day 2. Woke by a phone call during our sleep at 11:45pm saying that we have made complaints to the front desk that we have lost our wallet and some kind of mahjong noise!! Absolutely nonsense!!
2. On day 3. Woke again by a housekeeping staff banning on our door at 5:50am saying that we have called the front desk to check out and requested someone to collect a table!!!!! Ridiculous!!!!!?????
We have made complaints to the assistant manager the next day, he apologised immediately and sent to us a bottle of red wine, a box of chocolate and a fruit platter. However, he did not explain anything further about these incidents.
Needs at least 6-12 months before the Hilton delivers top marks across the board
Yalong Bay is an Oasis. Beautiful beach, lovely scenery and now the addition of another top class hotel. The investment that the Hilton have made is significant, and the end result is a wonderful structure with a myriad of facilities that will keep the holidaymaker or conference attendee very busy. They have laid down the new benchmark in terms of luxury in Sanya, and I await the Ritz Carlton's attempt of bettering the Hilton's new offering.
The pools are lovely, with something for everyone, and are spread out across the resort like a vast lagoon. Sand based pools, jacuzzi pools, water slides and lap pools are all on offer, and the only downside is that there is no hot jacuzzi on offer. In addition the pools are a little too cold for the average swimmer. It takes a bit of time to get used to the temperature and if the wind blows it feels like chilly experience.
The signature restaurant Ize is fantastic and something out of New York and London, the menu is ambitious but it delivers across the key criteria.
So why only 2 out of 5? Well the service is a disaster. It's a new hotel and they have clearly done a horrendous job of training the staff. English is poor in comparison to its competition (Sheraton and Marriott hotels), and the staff lack attentiveness in all the important areas. 45 minutes to wait for a drink by the pool is horrific, and the staff are simply lost as they cannot explain why such a simple order can take so long. The service issue is horrendous across the board, room service, hotel bars, swimming pools, front desk, restaurants (apart from Ize). I am amazed that the Hilton have not shipped in more expat staff to sharpen up the local staff competence. This hotel must improve this area dramatically if it wants to charge a 30% premium to the Sheraton and Marriott which are located next door.
Some problems, some easy to fix and others more fundamental:
1. Pool menu is extremely limited and misses the mark
2. No children's menu at the pool or coffee shop restaurant
3. Service appalling across the board. Staff need further training desperately.
4. Rooms still need some refining. Some toilets not working and unfortunately smelling not as they should
5. Pools too cold
6. Not enough umbrellas by the pool
7. No DVD player in lounge area of room (suites)
8. No TV channel menus in rooms
9. Level of English spoken by staff needs a major upgrade if it wants to attract Asian expat business
10. There is apparently a fantastic spa, but there are no details of it in the rooms, and one needs a navigator to help you find it and examine its benefits.
So the potential is there to be a world beater as resort destination but there is much to do to make it worth the money. The General Manager and his management team needs to pull their collective fingers out and start fixing the problems that blight such a visually beautiful resort.
Beautiful spot! Brand new!
We recently held our company sales meeting at the brand new Sanya Hilton. The hotel just opened up on Christmas Day 2005 and has not yet had their official "grand opening", which will happen in March 2006. For now its not even possible to book a room online at Hilton (-) and they seem to be filing the hotel with conference groups, which is probably a good thing to do as they ramp up the facility and staff (you can always book directly by phone).
We found the hotel to be well run and the facilities on par with any other high quality resort you might find in other parts of the world. The food was excellent, the pool and beach area is beautiful, and the rooms were clean and of course in great condition (since its brand new). The staff was very very friendly and helpful, and although many did not speak English, there was always enough that did so it was never an issue.
Possibly the only downsides were the front desk was often crowded and had long waiting times and the gym in the spa was not yet quite fully stocked with equipment. And don't go scuba diving unless you are really really bored (poor facilities and nothing to see).
Sanya will truly be one of the next international tourist beach resort areas. For now its really only well known for Chinese and Russian tourists and some of the usual international things people expect havent quite hit yet (eg. direct flights from major cities outside of China - today its only possible from HK and Seoul; and another surprise - no ATM or exchange bank at the airport!). But the Chinese are investing in this area in a huge way, and all the international hotels are either there are have plans to be there, so now is an interesting time to experience this place before its on everyone's radar screen!

Does the law have a restriction on how old you need to be to protect yourself, and how to do it

California knife laws:
September 10, 2006, 10:48 PM
Not only students are prohibited from carrying knives in California, if I read that law section properly it prohibits even adults from carrying anything larger than 2.5" or any lock back on school grounds.
Sheesh, if the blissninnies get their way, we will soon be carrying nerf knifes. Even my small Case Cheetah Cub fails the California school test on both counts, and it is hardly a "fearsome" weapon.
Back when I was in High School, no self-respecting male student would go anywhere without a knife, and a 4" Buck folder carried in a belt sheath was the norm. No silly restrictions, no fear from our teachers that we were going to wreak havoc. Today, in Calfornia, even an adult would be in trouble carrying such a tool.
September 10, 2006, 10:54 PM
"Short form: K-12 schools, no knife over 2.5" is legal except for certain work-related types (kitchen stuff for the chef, etc.). At Universities and Colleges, there's a ban on FIXED BLADES bigger than 2.5" but there's no problems with large folding knives that are otherwise not switchblades under PC653k."
So that means the knife has to be under 2.5"....what the hell...
I have never seen a blade on a knife let alone a knife under 2.5 inches
....Would a box cutter be legal to carry?
September 10, 2006, 10:56 PM
Are you a minor asking for yourself?
(And yes it does matter.)
Until then read - http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/waisgate?WAISdocID=9437976406+1+0+0&WAISaction=retrieve Please note whether there is any mention of age at all.

Same, does anyone know what carry laws are for Texas? (Minor)
September 11, 2006, 12:01 AM
Cops dont like knives. Being a minor myself, I used to carry a knife with me everywhere I went (not in school of course), until I realized if I ever had to use it for self defense, the police would find a way to screw me. So now I carry pepper spray. Simple enough. Only problem is keeping my friends from getting it and spraying things, like silverware:neener:
In my back pack is a maglite that holds 6 D cell batteries. Very heavy, deadly yet less than lethal, and perfectly legal.
Hiking and sailing and the like, I keep my ~5" SOG Seal pup on my belt.
Hope that helps.

Cops dont like knives.
Especially in the hands of minors. Judges don't like them either. If you're caught with a knife, especially in a school, they're going to make you look like a psychopath. You'll probably be expelled and even face possible jail time. Get a portable tube of pepper-spray. It's far more civil and considered a legit defense almost anywhere. Most schools have a policy that charges both students in a fight as guilty. You DO NOT want to compound that with being charged with having a knife. I know that's probably not what you wanted to hear, but the fact is, you're a minor, you're in a school. And as for a "smashing weapon"... use your science books. If it's a public school, they're tax-payer paid for... :) I'm sorry to treat you like a "kid", but (as cliche as it sounds) trust me, when you're older, you'll understand.

Seems to be somewhat contradictory.
A blow to the leg or abdomen is much different than a blow to the head.
September 11, 2006, 12:51 AM
I don't take the ****ing thing to school lmfao
Only if Im walking around town, or in a different town, or especially walking at night.
September 11, 2006, 01:01 AM
I'm a minor too. I used to carry a knife all the time before I realized if I actually used it for the purpose I was carrying it before I'd be so screwed for the rest of my life I wouldn't know if it was even worth it. But on the other hand, it's better to be judged by twelve than to be carried by six.
In case it doesn't come out clear, that last statement was what finally convinced me to carry. I occasionally carry if I think I might need it.
September 11, 2006, 01:10 AM
Im thinking about just getting a ****ing boxcutter...

September 11, 2006, 01:30 AM
Do, what I do. Learn how to use your fists. Four stones (i'm not counting the thumb) at the end of each arm. And if need be, I like to carry a fine point pen, fine points are nice. That thing would do a hell of a lot of damage to someones torso or neck, LOL, imagine the ink coming out of the wound. It's a perfect school weapon, hell how could someone not go to school without a pen? Plus, if a cop searches you, and finds a pen, a nefarous thought never crosses his mind.
September 11, 2006, 02:52 AM
So Jim (or Mr. March, whichever you prefer to be called), would you say it would be safe for me a minor to carry a knife and not be arrested? (Not at school)
And Slick, i know how to fight, but your fists/elbows/legs/knees don't always work against 4 people. Or someone that has a weapon and you cannot escape.
September 11, 2006, 08:49 AM
Learn martial arts. Seriously. (And train seriously.)
I do carry 2 "butterfly" knives, one on each side, and can deploy them one handed (the main advantage), and REAL quick -- years of practice). However, I studied martial arts for years (karate, Aikido, Kung-fu and Bando). If I'm close enough to use a knife, I'm close enough to kick your butt. 3 or 4 opponents not a problem, althought tactics change a bit. So, I wouldn't pull the knives for SD any way.
Cops don't like knives
Actually, I've "surrendered" my butterflies a couple times, (once when my then-girlfriends ex-boyfriend was causing some problems, and the cops got there before I did... they wouldn't let me in the house with the knives. When asked if I had any weapons on me, I told them about the knives, and allowed them to "hold them" until I got her calmed down. (Luckily they didn't checked my truck, where there was a loaded 12 guage--this guy had threatened me, several times---stupid and a real psycho). They returned the knives before they left. And, multiple times when I've entered government buildings, and forgot to leave them in the car. The interesting part about all this is that technically these knives are illegal in NY (they're considered "gravity" knives)--and never once did the police/security say a word about 'em.
When I was in high school (The good old days) I carried a switchblade (with about a 5" blade). Including when I was in school (more worried about it being stolen than anything). This was because I used to hitch-hike all over the place (at least until I was 16, and got my own car). School to work, School to home, Work to home, whatever. It was for "just in case" although, I never had a bad experience when hitch-hiking (NOT recommended today). Switchblades were and are illegal here, but I wasn't worried---If I'd needed it, I would've worried about the consequences later. This was, of course, long before I got into the martial arts.
In short, there are alternatives to knives (and they aren't the best defensive weapon anyway, really), that won't get you in trouble with the law.
September 11, 2006, 08:59 AM
I always carried a knife as a kid, but it was for utility. Geez, we use to take our rifles to school and leave them in the truck gun rack in high school, all the time. No one ever batted an eye to my knowledge. They were visible for all to see in the parking lot, particularly around hunting season when people would disappear after lunch to head to the happy hunting grounds. A knife, that was for cleaning your nails in class and shaving fuzzies off your woodworking projects in shop. Having a knife sharp enough to shave your arm hair was always a good crowd pleaser.
Things are different now, can't say I'd risk it today. I used my knife for utility, and again, no one batted an eye.
3 or 4 opponents not a problem, althought tactics change a bit
3 or 4 attackers is ALWAYS a problem, no matter how good you are, or THINK you are. If you are that confident in your skills, imagine four people of your skill level attacking you. Knife, gun or otherwise. I know, my Dad's a blackbelt, I spent a lot of time in Karate, multiple attackers is never a breeze as you have stated. Sparring and fighting for your life are two entirely different scenarios, training helps, but it's not some magic pill.
Unless of course, your Chuck Norris, then all bets are off.
September 11, 2006, 09:31 AM
So Jim (or Mr. March, whichever you prefer to be called), would you say it would be safe for me a minor to carry a knife and not be arrested? (Not at school)
And Slick, i know how to fight, but your fists/elbows/legs/knees don't always work against 4 people. Or someone that has a weapon and you cannot escape.
In Cali, a number of jurisdictions due prevent minors from carrying knives (or knives that are over a certain length or meet a certain evil description. When I was a minor, and living in New England, I often carried a knife- basically whenever I was not at school. With the zero tolerance trend, don't bring it to school, even if it is allowed by law and the regulations are silent. Administrators can have a lot of latitude in dealing out punishments.
If you asre afraid of being overpowered by a number of people, I would avoid bringing a knife into the situation altogether. It would more likely than not be turned against you. If you carry one, do such intending it as a tool not a weapon.
There are quite a few small slipjoints that do comply with pc653k. Most are more of gentelmans or keychain knives, but they are out there. Readily available at wally world, gas stations, flea markets, etc....
September 11, 2006, 02:43 PM
if you have to fight 4 people you should really consider changing your lifestyle...
And no you dont need a knife for self defence. You will most likely injure yourself in the process
-Martial arts
-Blunt object
-Pepper spray
-Running shoes
Then when you turn 21:
September 11, 2006, 03:06 PM
I'm a minor and I've carry a knife on me mostly cuz I use it a lot. I'm also into judo and my sensei always tells me:
1. "The best kind of fighting to learn is nike-jitsu and S&W-jitsu." (Running away)
2. "The winner of a knife fight goes to the hospital; the loser goes to the mourge."
The moral of my story: It's best to stay out of stuff if you can avoid it. If there's no avoiding it, give em hell.
September 11, 2006, 03:54 PM
I have had some knife fighting instruction from an LEO close combat insructor.
If you know what you are doing, knife fights are VERY short.
If you don't know what you are doing, knife fights are VERY short.
A knife is a very useful tool, I carry one every day and use it often. My knife would be my VERY LAST OPTION if I had to defend myself. Even with the training That I have had, if the other person has a knife the odds are slim that I will make it out of the fight uninjured. A knife can do much more damage to the human body than a gunshot wound, and at such close range the risk is high that both parties will sustain severe injury. Even if you win the fight, chances are good that you might die from loss of blood before help can arrive.
I am not assuming that you asked this question because you want to "have a rumble with the Jets";). You sound like a responsible kid since you are checking to make sure that you follow the law. I have carried an knife in my pocket since I was 8 years old, I consider it a daily tool that everyone should have. However, it is a weapon of desperation; it should be your last resort before you start sratching and bitting.

A sharpened No.2 pencil... I still have three spots of embedded graphite you can see 40 years later, and we were just fooling around amongst friends. A Bic pen. An aluminum notebook. Mini-maglite. Metal ruler (cork backed).
Simple things. Everyday things.
Ever see what a leather belt with a fair sized cowboy style belt buckle can do as a persuader? 'Course, nowadays that wouldn't be in fashion and your pants'd probably fall off.
The mind and the body are the weapon. Everything else is just a tool.
It does pay to study human anatomy, pressure points, things like that.
A good pair of running shoes and a closed mouth (you know... every fight I got in when in H.S. was due to my... ahem... sharp wit and quick mouth... now that I think about it) can help make those "wonder years" tolerable.
I knew of a guy in H.S. who actually had the nerve to pick up a desk/chair piece of furniture intent on mayhem and was finally subdued before he could bring it to bear. Everyone left him alone after that, for some reason. Called him crazy. A Berserker. I thought he was a pretty nice guy.
If I was going to carry a knife and I was a minor, it'd be a Boy Scout or Cub Scout type campers knife. Maybe a SAK. Legality? Not whilst on campus or at ANY school activity. On the street? Being a former Boy Scout helps of course and not being prone to looking or acting like a current or future customer of any LEO's... Buck knives had a great folding hunter with the BSA logo on it. Wonder if they still make those?

You're quite correct, of course. In the interest of brevity, I came off sounding blase about this. It's certainly a different situation (and way more serious) than 1 attacker. Nonetheless, we used to train heavily for these situations, and I didn't fear such an event (although I might now as I'm older, and crippled up w/ arthritis--but I still suspect I could hold my own in a reasonable fight.)
P.S. I have met Chuck Norris, he's good friends with another friend of mine, who was 2x World Women's Karate Champion. Does that count?:p
September 12, 2006, 09:25 AM
Advising a minor on any weapons issue is very serious business, both legally and ethically.
The best advice, regardless of age, is to avoid trouble by avoiding the places where you might find trouble. Make it leave its hunting ground to find you.
If trouble tracks you down in spite of your efforts to stay away from its hunting ground, run away when you can. Your pride or ego or cred or whatever isnt worth your life.
Most MA and street fighters say that someone with a modicum of training with a stick will trump someone with a knife. A short stick is more versatile and works at short and close range. There are many different types of sticks out there and many times theres something at hand in the environment that can serve.
Carrying a knife is very serious business. They are lethal weapons and are viewed as such by law enforcement and judiciary. They require lots of training to use well. Any criminal can rush you and pump you with a screwdriver or POS kitchen knife drawn from a cardboard sheath, but it takes lots of work to learn to use a knife to defend yourself.
January 14, 2010, 04:07 AM
what about knife purchase?
January 14, 2010, 04:13 AM
If you asking if it's legal due to your age plus suggestions of what is then you're obviously not experienced enough and don't need to be carrying one...simple.

Cathay Cineleisure International
Cathay Cineleisure International developed a unique "Cineleisure" brand of a leisure, lifestyle and retail concept offering patrons and visitors an array of wholesome family entertainment options.
Beyond tailoring the "Cineleisure" branding to a specific building owners' needs and requirements, the company's other areas of interests include marketing retail space to a suitable mix of tenants, administering leases, organising promotional events and undertaking routine maintenance.
Cathay Cineleisure Orchard
The first entertainment centre accorded the "Cineleisure" branding was Cathay Cineleisure Orchard, which is located in the heart of Orchard Road in Singapore.
Developed around a movie-set theme, the carefully chosen tenant-mix gives visitors a choice of entertainment activities including lifestyle retail shopping, fine dining at restaurants, casual dining in a themed foodcourt, as well as a myriad of leisure activities found in the health spa, health centre, beauty centre, social club, games arcade, cyber-cafe and a choice of six movie halls.
This building has won accolades such as the "SIA-ICI (Singapore Institute of Architects - ICI Paints) Colour Award" for its creative use of colours in its building design. Consumers have given it the thumbs-up when two of its cinemas (Halls 3 and 6) were voted Singapore's best screens in a survey conducted by The Straits Times in April 1998. In another survey by Ad Post, a publication which reaches out to Singapore residents across the island, readers voted Cathay Cineplex, Orchard their "Favourite Cinema in Singapore".
Promotional Events
As a centre management company, Cathay Cineleisure International harnesses the combined synergies of all its tenants to organise thematic promotional events, often tapping on the strength of its parent company, Cathay Organisation Holdings Ltd.
Into the New Millennium
Consolidating on what is already a proven formula, Cathay Cineleisure International has plans to take the "Cineleisure" branding outside of Singapore and market it to the region's vibrant and fast-growing entertainment businesses in property and centre management.

Highway 66 just east of Sedillo Hill is back open Thursday morning after a fatal crash.
Bernalillo County Sheriff's Deputies said that's where the cyclist, who family members identified as Mario Maes, rode into traffic and was hit and killed.
The driver is not being charged, but the case will be forwarded to the district attorney's office for review.

LIBERTY - Southern Tioga School Board members voted Tuesday to table any action on board member Sara Knipe's motion to open the board's policy and review making a two-thirds super majority vote of 6-3 necessary to close any school or program pending review by legal counsel.
Before the vote, Knipe pointed out that this was her initial request and that somehow it had been changed after she presented it to board President Ivan Erway to mean a vote on "building projects and contracts" and that is how it was presented at last Monday's work session.
Board member Frank Kollar said the board should remain united and not change the way it always has voted with a simple majority in order to assure the public that the board was "together."
Knipe responded the public would be assured that the board was voting as one if a super majority vote was required.
Knipe revised her motion from a two-thirds majority of whatever board members are present to a "super majority," which some board members objected to.
Board member Stephen Hall said a super majority requirement would mean delays in voting if fewer members were in attendance.
Kollar also objected on the grounds that a super majority requirement would keep the board from doing its "fiduciary" duty.
Knipe was the only "no" vote on the motion to table the action.
During the citizen comment portion of the meeting, several people, including two of the three Cogan House Township supervisors addressed the board, expressing their disappointment with the board on their lack of responsibility in handling the taxpayer's money.
Howard Fry, supervisor chairman, threatened legal action if the board continues with its proposed North Penn schools building project and closure of Liberty High School.
Fry derided the board for not "putting back" money it knew it was going to have to pay for escalating pension liabilities, to the tune of $2.7 million by 2016, he noted.
"Poor past planning has brought the district to its current state of crisis. The residents expect you to be responsible with the revenue stream we provide," he said.
Heidi Jones, an attorney from Blossburg, asked the public to respect the board's "cooling off" period between now and December when it votes on which school to close, and to lower the emotional atmosphere to give the board a chance to think clearly about what it has to do.
"Now it's time to stand back and let the board make its decision. We can't know what the future holds but we can trust this board has done its job thoroughly and responsibly," she said. She also asked the board to close the comment period on the pending closure.
The board also heard from Superintendent Keith Yarger, who presented the 2011-12 Average Yearly Progress report for the district and each school. The district is "on warning" for not reaching the state's graduation rate of 85 percent. The district's graduation rate is just more than 79 percent.
Yarger's presentation, along with the public's questions and administration's answers about the school closure, building project and plans for future educational structuring are on the board's website www.southerntioga.org.
The board will meet again for a work session Nov. 5 at the North Penn High School library.

In an intense Democratic race for the White House, Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton continue their battle, not only for delegates, but also for money.
Sen. Obama has raised more than $7 million since Super Tuesday, while Sen. Clinton reported $6 million in the same two-day period.
Clinton also recently loaned her campaign $5 million of her own money to keep up with Obama. And some of Clinton's senior campaign staffers offered to work without pay.
She said, however, the loan and salary offers were "not at all" a sign of financial difficulties.
Clinton and Obama raised $100 million last year and sped through at least $80 million.
In January, Obama raised some $32 million to Clinton's $13.5 million, leaving her to play catch up this month.
Aware of her opponent's growing strength, Clinton challenged Obama to five debates in March. Obama, however, has his eyes elsewhere.
"We'll have some debates," Obama promised. But first, he said, "I've got to spend time with voters."
Looking ahead, Clinton said she remained confident her campaign will be "fine" on finances.
"By the end of the week, we'll be back on track," she told ABC.
Meanwhile, Obama is focused on reaching states in upcoming primaries where his opponent is more well-known.

WARREN - Jim Graham, in his successful bid to win the Democrat nomination for Warren City Council president, outspent incumbent Bob Dean by nearly four times in the final three weeks leading into the May 7 vote, campaign finance reports show.
The win captured the presidency for the former president of United Auto Workers 1112, who will not have a challenger in November.
Campaign finance reports were due to the Trumbull County Board of Elections by 4 p.m. Friday.
Graham's campaign finance reports show he spent $2,974 between April 18 and May 7, a large chunk of it - $1,653 - on campaign signs. The spending was partly fueled by money given to Graham by John Cafaro, who contributed $2,000 to the campaign.
Graham takes the presidency with $1,014 in his campaign account and debt-free. He repaid a $300 loan he made to the campaign on March 22. He spent a total of $4,458 on the election.
Dean spent considerably less, $760 in the last days before Election Day, but to pay down campaign debt, which he still lists as $2,047. He leaves the presidency with $312 in his campaign bank account.
Fact Box
Jim Graham
Amount brought forward: $1,015

Spent: $2,974
Balance: $1,014
Debt: $0
Bob Dean
Amount brought forward: $1,022

Earlier in the campaign, Dean spent $2,168.
In the race for the open 1st Ward council seat in Warren, Larry Larson, who won the nomination, spent $1,152 during the cycle and $2,208 overall. Larson, who repaid a $1,000 loan he made to the campaign during the cycle, has a balance of $130.
Another candidate in the race, Clyde Wilson, reported only a $130 in-kind contribution. The third candidate, Felicia Davis, did not file a report.
In Niles, for three at-large seats on city council, incumbent Steve Papalas reported he spent $896 over the period and has a balance of $1,767. He spent $2,355 overall. Of the other winners, also incumbents, Reggie Giancola reported a $213 in-kind contribution and Mike Lastic a $100 in-kind contribution.
The fourth candidate, Christopher Doutt, reported a $15 in-kind contribution.
And it appears that every one of the $1,890 spent by the Warriors for Excellence committee in Brookfield in the final days before Election Day was well worth it. By one vote - 930 to 929 - a school levy the committee was backing was approved by voters.
The committee reported spending $480 on fliers and door hangers and $945 for T-shirts. It has a balance of $2,803.

Man pleads innocent to assaultJuly 09,2013A Rutland man pleaded innocent Monday to a charge of first-degree aggravated domestic assault for alledgedly beating his girlfriend.
Jesse Neil, 31, was ordered held at the Rutland jail for a lack of $10,000 bail.
According to court documents, Neil was arrested Saturday following a fight with his girlfriend at a home on Howe Street in Rutland.
Police said he had been drinking and arguing with his girlfriend and other people. When he was asked to leave, police said, Neil refused to do so which prompted his girlfriend to lightly push him out of the way.
Police said this escalated to the point where Neil allegedly hit his girlfriend in the back of the head and grabbed her by the arm roughly.
If convicted, Neil faces up to 15 years in prison and $25,000 in fines.MORE IN This Just InRutland got two goals from Eli Henni and Ryan McKay made three saves in notching the shutout as...

The officiating crew calling this game has called the FEWEST holding penalty plays then any other crew the entire season. Also, as a whole, the officials have really been letting the playoff teams "play" and not throwing many flags unless its a blatent fowl or clear unnecessary roughness...ALSO>>>this same crew leads all other officiating crews on pentalties called related to roughing the passer, late hits to QB, Helmet to helmet, etc
All of this plays directly into the hands of the Pats, considering their entire game is all about Brady dropping back and passing the ball (Less then mobile pocket passer).
I think it could be a very long day for the ravens.
I really need to know because it randomly pairs up with somethings that were goin on around me right when the game ended. i need a time as a point of reference for my attorney. I am on the east coast, but just let me know about how long double OT went on that night between the 2 teams that night for the game please.

Our lenders are accepting settlement loan cases for all workers compensation claims
If you have been injured in a work related accident, you may be entitled to a workers' compensation settlement loan. A worker's compensation claim isn't exactly a lawsuit against your employer, but rather a request to receive the benefits you deserve. The claim is typically made if the employee is unable to perform his or her duties because of the accident. While many worker compensation claims are filed each year throughout the U.S. it oftentimes take a lawyer to get you the benefits you deserve for your injury. If you are currently looking for a settlement loan for a workers compensation claim, begin by fill out our online application today. Our network of lenders are ready to compete for your business.
Some of the more common workers compensation claims that our lenders fund include but not limited to:
- Truck Drivers
- Tractor Trailer Drivers
- Bus Drivers
- Construction Workers
- Electricians
- Landscapers
- Airline Workers
- Route sales
- Union Workers
- Delivery Workers
- Builders
- Post office workers
- Office Workers
A workers compensation claim is extremely important for not only the employee but also the company. There are many cases in which workers rely on each other and it's imperative that each employee is capable of doing his or her job without putting other workers in harms way. Furthermore, a company endangers itself of lowering employee moral if jobs slow and employees are not pulling their "slack."
Getting hurt in a work related accident can be a traumatic experience. We understand that when an employee is unable to work it may take months before they receive compensation from their claim. For some people a lawsuit cash advance can help supplement loss wages so they can pay their ongoing living expenses.
Our workers compensation lenders can provide funding for most all work related injuries including:
- Amputation
- Catastrophic injuries
- Heart attacks
- Shoulder injuries
- Knee injuries
- Neck injuries
- Burns & scars
- Back injuries
- Brain injury
- Broken bones
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, CTS
- Stress related
- Sight and hearing loss
- Wrongful death
It is important if you have been injured at work that you make sure the accident has been documented by your company. You should immediately advise your supervisor that an accident has occurred and be ready to describe how the accident occurred and what injuries have been sustained. If other workers witnessed the accident, make sure you document this as well. If you are outside of the workplace (route sales, construction sites), you should write down the names of those people who also may have witnessed the accident.
It is best to write down a detailed report describing the incident and be sure to take photos of the accident including the workplace area. You will want to seek immediate medical treatment and make sure to get a copy of the medical report. This type of information is not only important to your employer but also for your worker compensation lawyer.
If you have hired an attorney to fight for your workers compensation benefits let us help secure you a settlement loan to help you in your time of need.
Our proven track record is good indication of why much of our business comes from our clients and lawyer referrals. Our success with past lawsuit funding cases should give you the confidence you need to have our lenders compete for your business. If you are searching for companies that provide non-recourse settlement loans so you don't have to pay back the lawsuit loan in the event you lose, look no further. All of our lenders provide non-recourse funding which means you don't pay back our lenders unless you are successful in receiving compensation.
Our Lawsuit settlement loan lenders are committed to getting you the lawsuit cash advances you deserve.

If our lenders decide to take your case, they only get paid back if you get compensated!

Heavenly Sword
Heavenly Sword is Ninja Theory's first big-budget release and second game overall. In their early days, when they were still called Just Add Monsters, they also developed Kung Fu Chaos, a rather obscure platform game for the original Xbox. Heavenly Sword is a huge step up from their early work; in fact it's one of the big showcases of the PlayStation 3's still largely untapped potential.
In Heavenly Sword, you play as the beautiful and agile red-headed warrior Nariko, a member of a Japanese clan -led by her father Shen- that protects the sacred Heavenly Sword, a blade with incredible powers.
However, the sword corrupts any human being who wields it. Still, the blade's mythical powers lead the ruthless King Bohan to rally a huge army and partake in a crusade against Nariko's clan. In a desperate attempt to save her father and the survivors of her clan, Nariko decides to use the Heavenly Sword and try to defeat Bohan, even if that means she has to go down with him.
This not so very original story is brought in truly exquisite cinematic fashion. It's almost as if you're watching a summer blockbuster, set in medieval Japan.
The characters in the many cutscenes are brought to life through motion capturing and the most impressive facial animations since Half-Life 2. And let's not forget the perfect lipsynching, great orchestral score and excellent voice-overs from Steven Berkoff (A Clockwork Orange, Beverly Hills Cop), Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings, King Kong) and especially the previously unknown Anna Torv as Nariko. Andy Serkis (prrecioussssssss) was also the game's dramatic director and he has certainly put his stamp on the game's presentation.
Heavenly Sword also maintains its film-like feel in-game. The fixed camera always chooses the most cinematic angles, without ever hindering gameplay, which is reminiscent of God of War. Heavenly Sword also features several spectacular-looking button press sequences. The game even uses splitscreens on several occasions to enhance the sense of drama.
The game is a visual masterpiece, both technically as artistically Though the levels are linearly designed, the panoramic views which Heavenly Sword presents are simply breathtaking. You'll encounter atmospheric locales such as a prison, surrounded by huge Niagara Falls-esque waterfalls, a stone fortress, coupled with massive entry gates and a ravaged battefield, filled with thousands of soldiers, all coming after you. I kid you not.
The many on-screen characters are all wonderfully detailed and animated. Though the game stutters every now and then, it never harms the experience. It would have been cool if there were a bit more different types of enemies (or at least more skins for the same type), but that's mostly nitpicking. At the heart of all this technical gimmickery is a pretty interesting new combat system.
Nariko has three different 'stances', namely a speed stance, a power stance and a ranged stance. In the default speed stance, you'll unleash a rapid volley of attacks that do moderate damage to your enemies. In ranged stance (L1), the red-headed blademistress attaches her swords to chains, just like Kratos. This way, she can attack from a distance, which doesn't do much damage, but is useful when you're surrounded -which can happen a lot-. In ranged stance, you can also try out aerial combos. Finally, Nariko can use the power stance (R1). As the term implies, her attacks will dish out a great deal of damage, at the cost of speed. Every stance has its distinct set om combos, advantages and downsides and it's up to you to make the most of them.
But there's more to it. Since the game doesn't feature a block button, Nariko will automatically block when you don't attack. However, it isn't as straightforward as it sounds. Most enemies will have a coloured glow around them when they attack you and you can only block them in the correct stance; yellow-coloured attacks in ranged stance, blue attacks in speed stance and orange attacks in power stance. After blocking, you can also deal counter blows by pressing triangle. If timed correctly, these counters will instantly kill an adversary.
Getting in the right stance and countering is especially critical in defeating the half dozen or so charismatic bosses in the game. Though all the previous sounds fascinating and fresh in theory -and to a large extent in practice too-, in the end the combat doesn't feel as right as in, let's say, Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden or (again) God of War. The constant paying attention to the ever-changing colours can sometimes leave you confused and overwhelmed, especially with a lot of enemies on-screen. Nevertheless, this is one of the most innovative fighting mechanisms I've seen over the last couple of years. If Ninja Theory can refine it by the next game (there are plans for a trilogy if this one sells well), it may very well rank up there with the previously mentioned examples.
Nariko's hacking, slashing, slicing and dicing is broken up by several levels where you play as Kai, the second playable character. Kai is a young and stubborn member of Nariko and Shen's clan and is hell-bent on supporting the heroine on her quest. Kai plays totally different from Nariko. She is armed with a crossbow and can't do any melee damage.
If a soldier comes close to her, she can only stun him and run away to get some distance and then shoot him. Kai's crossbow can be used like some sort of medieval semi-automatic rifle, but that way she'll more often than not miss her target. The trick is to keep the fire button pressed, which activates slow-motion and gives you a first-person view to aim. Directing the arrow is done by tilting the Sixaxis up and down, left and right. To my surprise, this worked amazingly well after a couple of shots. This is really a fine example of how motion-sensing should be used. Still, if you're having trouble aiming arrows in enemies' heads, you can always select the option to use the analog sticks instead.
I've saved the biggest (and pretty much only) disappointment of Heavenly Sword for last. Though the game is quite positively a thrilling action rollercoaster, it's also over before you know it.
With a length of barely six hours, this game is very short, even by today's standards in the action genre. Upon completion you'll unlock the harder hell mode difficulty, which may or may not encourage you to play it again a second time. There is however a ton of bonus content to unlock, such as making-of trailers, storyboards, artwork, interviews etc. You unlock them by collecting glyphs (there are 3 in each level, 129 in total), which in turn are earned by fighting well and stringing long combos together.
So there you have it. Heavenly Sword is an exciting new IP in the action genre. It features a new and robust fighting system and is presented in a exemplary way, with gorgeous graphics, stunning panoramic views, splendid voice-acting and motion captured cinematics. Though good as it may be, it's not exactly worth 60€ (60$/40£) since you can easily finish it in a weekend's rental. Nevertheless, I'm dying to see what Ninja Theory can do with the sequel, which may well be the classic this game could have been.

Inouye remains in hospital, stable
WASHINGTON - A spokesman for Sen. Daniel Inouye said the Hawaii Democrat is stable but there is "no timetable" for his release from a Washington-area hospital.
The 88-year-old Inouye is the country's longest-serving senator, now completing his 50th year in the chamber.
Spokesman Peter Boylan said Sunday that the senator remained hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he was taken this month so that doctors could observe him and monitor his oxygen intake.
Boylan says Inouye was "fighting respiratory complications" but was in stable condition and communicating with his doctors and family. Boylan adds: "At this time, there is no timetable for his release."
Inouye is a decorated World War II veteran and has long been a force in Hawaii politics. He serves as chairman of the Appropriations Committee and is the Senate's president pro tempore, third in the presidential line of succession.
Girlfriend pleads no contest in crash
HONOLULU - An Australian tourist, whose boyfriend pleaded no contest in the personal watercraft death of a California teen in Hawaii, has pleaded no contest to misleading police in the criminal investigation of the collision.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports that Natasha Ryan could have her misdemeanor case dismissed if she stays out of trouble for six months. She must pay a $1,000 fine. Ryan didn't appear in court, but submitted a plea by mail in November.
Ryan told investigators that boyfriend Tyson Dagley was sitting on his rented personal watercraft and that she didn't see the crash that killed 16-year-old Kristen Fonseca, of Vacaville, Calif., in August. However, two deleted videos were later recovered from her camera showing the crash and Dagley standing on the watercraft.
Dagley pleaded no contest to third-degree homicide in September and was sentenced to 12 days in jail that he had already served.
Electoral college convening today
HONOLULU - Presidential electors around the country will meet today to cast their votes for U.S. president and vice president.
The electoral college convenes after each presidential election.
Hawaii has four presidential electors, who will cast their votes during a ceremony at the state Capitol today.
President Barack Obama carried his home state during last month's election.
Fishing closing for a year off Wakiki
HONOLULU - State officials are closing fishing areas in Waikiki and Diamond Head for one year to allow populations to replenish themselves.
It's part of a regular closure every other year by the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
The plan will allow no fishing between shore and 500 yards into ocean waters from the Diamond Head Lighthouse to the Ewa wall of the Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium.
Those who fish in the restricted area are subject to fines and being charged with a petty misdemeanor.

RIT bounces back to beat Mercyhurst men's hockey team
The Mercyhurst men's hockey team had a lot of momentum after knocking off Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on Friday night. However RPI, ranked 14th in the country entering the weekend, returned the favor Saturday, skating to a 5-2 win over the Lakers at the Mercyhurst Ice Center.
The Engineers came out firing in the first period, as Guy LeBoeuf struck just less than 3 minutes into the contest. RPI continued to pressure the Lakers, and extended its lead to 2-0 on Ryan Haggerty's goal at 15:31.
The Lakers got on the board with Kyle Dutra's goal midway through the second period and began to control the play, outshooting the Engineers 13-4 in the period. The schools then traded goals just before the intermission, as Haggerty notched his 15th of the season before Grant Gettinger tallied for Mercyhurst with 17 seconds remaining in the period.
RPI (7-5-2) pulled away in the third period on goals by Curtis Leonard and Jacob Laliberte.
Mercyhurst (5-7-1) will return to the ice Friday when it visits American International College.
