FREE ADMISSION
What if learning how to cure yourself from “food poisoning” was as elementary as a color picture book? Dr. John McDougall, a renowned pioneering physician in the use of nutrition as medicine, has answers for people both young and old in this colorful presentation based on peer-reviewed research. Learn how to help improve your health by avoiding the food poisons of highly processed and animal-based products that can give you poor health, from constipation and obesity to diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, cancer and GERD, and by eating, instead, the whole and lightly processed plant-based, starch-rich foods that can aid your body to heal itself.
John McDougall, MD, has been studying, writing, and speaking about the effects of nutrition on disease since 1968. He believes that people should look and feel great, and enjoy optimal health for a lifetime. Dr. McDougall has developed a nourishing, low-fat, starch-based diet that not only promotes a broad range of dramatic and lasting health benefits, such as weight (fat) loss, but most importantly can also reverse serious illness, such as heart disease, type-2 diabetes, and arthritis, without drugs. He helps people stop unnecessary medications and avoid, whenever possible, tests, surgeries, and other treatments.
Dr. McDougall is a board-certified internist, author of 12 national best-selling books and the international on-line “McDougall Newsletter,” host of the nationally syndicated television show “McDougall MD,” and medical director of the 10-day, live-in McDougall Program in Santa Rosa, California. Other McDougall activities include seminars and health-oriented adventure vacations.

Thirty-four years into its career, Slayer remains the preeminent punk-thrash band that helped establish the genre and that up-and-coming metal heads continue to revere and emulate. Slayer is a five-time nominated, two-time Grammy Award-winning metal juggernaut that writes songs which mirror the turmoil and aberrations of our society. Repentless, the band’s first new album in six years, continues the Slaytanic offensive with a twelve-song, blood-shaking sonic attack. Repentless is dark, fast, aggressive and without mercy. It was also the most challenging record Slayerhas ever had to make.
Slayer’s place in music history is secure as one of The Big Four (alongside Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax): they helped define the thrash-metal genre. With Repentless Kerry, Tom, Paul and Gary affirm that Slayer is unstoppable. Slayer continues fearlessly, aggressively and without contrition; and most importantly, f@!#$ing Slayer still rules!

Join us to kick off the 2015-16 Opera Season at HOT Tuesday – The Magic Flute and experience the last performance of Mozart’s melodic triumph, The Magic Flute!
Start the evening wining, dining, styling, & profiling at the Honolulu Club in an exclusive Pau-Hana Party featuring drinks, pupus, & live music followed by the best after-party ever, a night at the opera!
This season’s rendition of The Magic Flute is a new, innovative production inspired by the 20th-century painter, Rene Magritte, whose work is filled with portals-doorways and picture frames-that lead viewers from reality to dreams. Additional surrealistic elements include innovative video projections and imaginative staging, which result in a quirky-yet-cheerful and decidely bright, colorful production.
Prince Tamino opens the opera being rescued by Three Ladies, servants of the Queen of the Night. Through the Ladies, Tamino learns that the Queen’s daughter, Pamina, has been kidnapped by an evil sorcerer, Sarastro. Tamino, already in love with Pamina, undertakes a quest to save her, and the Ladies give him a magic flute to keep him safe from harm.
The hilarious Papageno, a bird catcher, accompanies Tamino as they prepare to face off with Sarastro and his minions. Upon confronting Saratsro, our heroes learn that things are not always as they seem.
Where lies the truth? Will Pamina be saved? Did we mention Steampunk themed costumes? Find out in The Magic Flute!
