I had written a diary back in February explaining about a job oppurtunity I had with smart meters on Kauai. Well there is more to the story and there are things happenig that to me are not right. ...

] For some reason, I feel the need to share this remembrance with others, beyond those of us who survived the near-apocalyptic experience personally. It was exactly 26 years ago yesterday, May 7, 1986 . Honolulu, Hawaii, where wife Laura and I have been flown ...

During the waning days of my military service I was stationed in Honolulu as our nation was celebrating it's bi-centennial, July 4th, 1976. There were celebrations and fireworks galore on every part of the island of Oahu as far as the eye could see. Beginning just before sundown the tranquil evening sky was studded with an array of flash, report and color enough to satisfy the most patriotic spe...

Recently, I went to see a concert featuring "Royal Flush: Music By, For and About Royalty", sung by the Master Chorale of South Florida ; I esp. enjoyed the following pieces: Vaughan Williams' "Serenade to Music" , Rutter’s “This is the Day that the Lord Has Made” written for the recent royal British wedding and Aloha Oe written by Queen Lili'uokalani of Hawaii in ...

Hawai`i is a special place in innumerable ways. The primacy of the natural environment is a common thread. The Hawaiian culture is premised on respect for natural resources. The ancient Hawaiian ahupua`a system of land and water management efficiently allocated resources among all elements of society and, perhaps as important, among both current and future generations. Communities were organ...

By: inoljt, http://mypolitikal.com/ It was late in the night of Tuesday March 13th, 2012. For most people it was just another normal day. For Americans in three states, however, it was election day. The good folk of Alabama, Hawaii, and Mississippi were voting for the Republican 2012 presidential nominee. Alabama and Mississippi voted first. Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney had a rou...

Honolulu police hid under cover of darkness and raided Occupy Honolulu at 3 a.m. this morning (Wednesday, March 14, 2012). The early-morning raid assured that no media would be present to report on the police action. Occupy Honolulu maintains a live-stream, which did catch the action as police confiscated tents and other belongings. The video is posted on this web page and also below. Alth...

Blah blah blah, Newt Gingrich is a loser, and tonight we'll find out how much of a loser Republicans think he is, too. I'll be following the Mississippi, Alabama, and Hawaii presidential elections, along with congressional primaries in Alabama and Mississippi that appear competitive. Polls are all over the place, but suffice it to say I wouldn't be surprised if any 2 of Romney, Santorum,...

Since Thursday, I've been obsessively refreshing my news search for Rush Limbaugh and just found this Hilo, Hawaii March 5, 2012: New West Broadcasting announced today that it is discontinuing the Rush Limbaugh program on KPUA AM 670 in Hilo, Hawaii effective immediately. Chris Leonard, President and General Manager of New West released the following statement this morning: “We have alway...

I know I shouldn't get too worked up about political predictions but it has been bugging me for a long time that normally very good analysts (Charlie Cook, I'm talking to you) have rated the Hawaii senate race as a tossup. This is absurd just based on the location. Hawaii has elected 1 Republican senator in its admittedly short time in the Union. So we have a state in which every Senator has b...

My last diary was about the connections--the common donors, staffers, and history--between the organizations of Tulsi Gabbard, a Democratic candidate for Hawaii's open second Congressional district, and her father Mike Gabbard, a well-known anti-gay activist and former Republican. (A 2005 blog post calls him "the gay communities local version of the anti-Christ." ) Tulsi Gabbard's fundr...

Hawaii teachers overwhelmingly rejected the terms of a contract approved unanimously by their leadership last Thursday. The vote was two to one against, with approximately 9,000 out of the state's 12,500 teachers turning out for the vote. While local media have characterized the massive rejection as a split with union leadership (which may be accurate) and steered discussion along that line, i...

Maria Gallucci writes : Prompted by pressure from clean energy advocates, Hawaii and California are quietly working to remove a regulatory obstacle that is slowing a boom in rooftop solar systems in the nation's leading solar states. The culprit is an arcane provision in the rules many states have adopted for how utility companies handle "distributed generation," any system of small-scale ...

First off, I'm a huge supporter of the occupy movements, worldwide. There are highly specific reasons why I'm against Occupy Honolulu that do not really reflect OWS or Occupy Los Angeles or Occupy Portland. 1) First off, the name itself is a problem. People in Hawai'i already see the place as "occupied"-- by the US military and US government . Lest anyone forget or, dare I speak of it, be igno...

I'm not seeing any diaries on this, so just have to post. It appears a performer has gotten into the APEC summit in Hawaii and sang a very anti-1%-er song for 45 minutes. He was showing a "Occupy with Aloha" t-shirt and his song had lyrics such as: "The lobbyists at Washington do gnaw.... And until they are purged, we won't withdraw". Really awesome. Quoting from ...

Tulsi Gabbard is a candidate for the HI-02 House seat vacated by Congresswoman Hirono to run for Senate. She has previously served in the military, in the Honolulu City Council, and in the Hawaii House of Representatives--her campaign materials seem to emphasize her military service. But behind this impressive political C.V.--like so many--is the product of a political dynasty. Tulsi is the daug...

Sideways? The Descendents is "the long-awaited next movie from the director of Sideways" according to the mini blurb on the Google search. Maybe I am the only one who didn't see the other movie (I think I was travelling in Asia) but when you live in Honolulu, any movie filmed here is a "must see." I knew that even if the movie was trash, I could indulge the petit plaisir of guessing th...
