Wow these house competitions are a great way of dealing with the recession in my view. Actually I’ve found quite a few more online although this is the only one in Hawaii as far as I can tell? http://win-house.co.uk features lots in Europe but I get the feeling laws are different in each country. Does anyone know if I can organize this in Dallas?

Michael Jackson is a very very talented person to the point that he rose as a pop icon. He will live forever in our history books and memories.

Michael Jackson is my favorite pop artist ever since i was a child. He is truly the King of Pop and i am saddened by this news.

To me Aloha means a beginning of hopefully a long and meaningful relationship with these beautiful islands. I am sharing my new found aloha knowledge of these fragile ecological ocean and tropical gardens with everyone who will listen. I would love to get involved with the restoration efforts in the island of Kaho’olawe. I beleive living in Hawaii would be helpful in this. Maloha for all the people who have cared enough to preserve the beauty of these islands. I would love to share in this responsibility if I were given a chance to help. Maloha.

Comment on Punahou School - Buff ‘n Blue by KK

KK — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:34:46 +0000

I appreciate literary license, but some of the facts, for sake of a friendly marital conversation, may be stretched a bit too far…

Punahou was founded in 1841 by resolution in a general meeting of the Sandwich Island Mission to educate children of members of the mission; it was never for whites only. Nor was it a project of businessmen. The founding trustees were Armstrong, Chamberlain, Dole, Emerson & Judd, all missionaries. Bishop served as trustee to 1867-1894 when he moved to California, and possibly longer as he lived until 1915. In 1891, he wrote a letter to mark the jubilee reunion stating how proud he is that among those educated at Punahou included a number of “sons and daughters of Hawai`i…including a number of aboriginal blood…” and then in 1901 donates money to fund scholarships for 6 Hawaiians to attend. Pauahi Hall at Punahou is named for the princess and built with his (their?) money after her passing.

In fact, having joined other ali`i in nursing ill Hawaiians during various epidemics in the 1850s, the Princess took an interest in the health needs of Hawaiians, so much so that she and her husband contributed to the establishment of Queen’s hospital. Since these needs were being addressed by Queen Emma and King Kamehameha IV, Pauahi and her husband, who was already an instrumental force with Punahou, turned their attention to the education of Hawaiians.

Happy birthday to you. It has been a long time.

Don’t know if you got the email, but the very last Thick Tubes gig is on Saturday at Don Ho’s. I guess all things come to an end. Glad that 808 Talk is still going.

Comment on Punahou School - Buff ‘n Blue by Hawaii realtor

Thanks for that info about Punahou. What particularly interested me was the meaning of Ka Punahou.

We use Hawaiian words everyday (often mispronouncing them) and we don’t know what many of the words mean.

Just sit right back & you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailing man, The skipper brave & sure.
Five passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour,
