Hawthorne gets tryout with Bills
May 17th, 2008 by Stephen TsaiWideout C.J. Hawthorne has earned a private workout with the Buffalo Bills.
Hawthorne said the audition is scheduled for Wednesday. He said he leaves Tuesday.
Hawthorne competed in the Atlanta Falcons' rookie camp, but was not retained.
"We'll see how this goes," Hawthorne said.

One of our loyal readers, Jason, is 21 today.
Besides being brilliant, Jason is generous — with his time and money. He was one of the top organizers for the Relay for Life. He also is a youth leader in his church. And he's provided useful information and commentary on this blog.
Most of all, he is our friend.
As the Wizard of Oz said to the tin woodsman: : "A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others."
Jason has a great heart.

If everything goes according to plan, the football coaches will receive laptop computers.
That will be key, especially on road trips. It will allow coaches to review football videos on airplanes and in hotel rooms.
Greg McMackin has been a long-time supporter of computer-assisted coaching. Paul Allen was the owner during McMackin's final year with the Seattle Seahawks. McMackin relied on computer programs at Texas Tech. He keeps his entire playbook in a memory stick.
In the 1990s McMackin and the other Seattle coaches invested in a little company that Paul Allen owns. Something called Microsoft.
* * *
It seemed like only a few years ago when the office talk centered on baby formula, Chuck E. Cheese, Discovery Zone, and the where's-my-shotgun glares we would give to our daughters' future boyfriends.
In the next several weeks Candace Murayama, Crystal Kimura and Allie Tsai will be college graduates. Candace's graduation is today in Oregon. Congrats to them. And special thanks to the mothers who did all of the work in raising them and providing guidance — Donna, Janice and Wena.

May 17th, 2008 at 8:23 am
I think addahknowsports has replaced addahknowjoe as a reader. is this a Bill/Hillary thing?
May 17th, 2008 at 8:24 am
dragged over from old blog. For those who saw this already, forgive me.
Good Morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON!
I’d sing you a birthday duet, but the Harmonizer is sleeping his best. He apparently got home when the birds started singing their best. (the IIRR IIRR IIIRRRRR etc is Joe-speak for crowing rooster)
Looking forward to your progressive birthday celebration tonight wherever that may be. I’m coming along to chaperone (not you, the tsaikos) to make sure they don’t lead you into doing “a Homey”.
May 17th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Morning ST
Morning TSAI-KOS
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON
in case you missed it on the previous blog!
blogging from work again! Something is DEFINITELY wrong here!
May 17th, 2008 at 8:27 am
Good Morning ST! ...and veddy funny Mistah Blog Host. Bill sends his best regards...
May 17th, 2008 at 8:29 am
Beautiful words about Jason!
May 17th, 2008 at 8:31 am
And that is why Mr. Tsai is a writer.
May 17th, 2008 at 8:32 am
If anybody is bored (or homeless and needs to get out of the sun), I'll be at that book and music festival tomorrow hawking our book. it's been marked down to $10. I was gonna wait for it to get below a movie ticket, but ... oh, wait, I'm supposed to be hawking. Buy the book!
May 17th, 2008 at 8:33 am
Wouldn't it be just great if we crashed Jason's B-day party?
21... remember when you were that age? I was a junior-senior at UH, having fun with the guys! And flunking 3rd year French.
May 17th, 2008 at 8:33 am
Mr. Tsai is my brother, Mike, the real writer.
I'm just a book salesman.
May 17th, 2008 at 8:34 am
Hi Wafan. Top 'o the morning to you!
May 17th, 2008 at 8:34 am
hey, ST, I paid MORE THAN $10 for that book. So how come so cheap?
May 17th, 2008 at 8:35 am
... Stephen Hawking...
May 17th, 2008 at 8:35 am
wow not even in da top 15 boooooooooooo
May 17th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Sorry, which book and where is this at?
May 17th, 2008 at 8:37 am
No madda what time o'day tis, I somehow manage to be one of the last post-ers in the previous blog. Today I are one o' de foistess.. Whoopee.
Again, Happy Birthday Jason.
Stephen: Think time has gone by fast now? Just see how quickly it flies before you're watching your son graduate from college. How old is he, BTW.
Lots of great sports stuff today. Will be at the Book & Music Festival before heading back to the campus for baseball's Senior Night. GO BOWS!!
May 17th, 2008 at 8:37 am
..."Addahknow...books"
May 17th, 2008 at 8:38 am
I attended the FIRST book festival a couple of years ago and got lost in the parking structure. What a nightmare! I couldn't locate my car. Hubby was super mad when I told him to come from work and help me find my car. Finally, a security guard found it for us.
Ever since, I have avoided the festival.
May 17th, 2008 at 8:40 am
wafan,
the eastside is gonna be up to about 90 today. As much as I would like to be outside near a lake, I'm working til 3ish, and then headed to the af2 game at the arena, so I'll stay cool for the most part. I actually put in my a/c in last nite as my apt was kinda warm.
May 17th, 2008 at 8:41 am
Brew-
Huh?
May 17th, 2008 at 8:42 am
..."Addahknow...huh?"
May 17th, 2008 at 8:42 am
I got married at 21.
Here's a link to things related to the number 21:

May 17th, 2008 at 8:42 am
Sports, the book festival will be held today and tomorrow on the grounds of Honolulu Hale.
May 17th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Hey, A-Sports!
How is everything with you and A-Joe? What is on the schedule for today?
Trying to decide what to have for lunch. Maybe head out to Norma's for a great burger. Or maybe just make a grilled ham and cheese sandwich.
Decisions. Decisions.
May 17th, 2008 at 8:44 am
moved this over in response to addahknowports accusing us of doing improper stuff to Jason on his bday. not us tsaiko's ........ stretch and homey maybe
May 17th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Jason:
Amighty happy birthday to you from the A-House family - have a good and safe one!!!!!!!!!
May 17th, 2008 at 8:46 am
Gigi:
Well, there's a little story called "I Told You So."
The guys in the sports department said, hey, if we're going to do a book, shouldn't we publish it before Christmas? Then we can amend it after the Sugar Bowl.
Then the guys in the department said, hey, why don't we sell the book at the Warrior Bowl, where all of the Warrior fans will be.
And the powers-that-be gave that same look they give when you say: why is the Web site so blue?
May 17th, 2008 at 8:48 am
If you attend, you may park at the Tizer building. Just say "Ferd" said it was OK.
May 17th, 2008 at 8:48 am
Koakane . . .
Ever been to Norma's out here? I know it was around waaaaaay back then while you were here at SMC (now SMU). Thinking of trying the John Wayne Burger -- has just about everything in it but fish and the kitchen sink.
Anyhow, now there are two of them. Yum!
May 17th, 2008 at 8:49 am
I think that right about now we need Kazz to write a birthday son for Jason.
May 17th, 2008 at 8:51 am
...number 21 -
• blackjack!
• minimum number of points scored by Warrior D!!! in the first three games of the 2008 season!
• typical number of credits taken per semester by our birthday Tsaiko!
• average number of questions posted by gigi per blog
• typical length of time in seconds spent on the Warrior Beat! by our Tsaiko "nanay" Esme
• ....
ST - Jason earlier mentioned (complained) about roadwork on Kapiolani near your home base. Will that be pau on Sunday?
May 17th, 2008 at 8:52 am
... a birthday "son"? Hmmmmmmm....
May 17th, 2008 at 8:55 am
Cute Brew. Anyway, how ya doin' Sweetie?
Gigi-
Thanks for the info about the book festival. Jus' like I don't live here, yeah?
ST-
Interesting...
Hi Wafan-
Everything's good. Gotta run some errands, then it will be an itty bitty numbers day. By the time I'm done, I will be ready to partaaaay. Maybe I will be the one to contribute to the delinquency of a new adult. hehehe.
Which leads me to Koakane's comment... See comment just above this one.
May 17th, 2008 at 8:56 am
Koakane-
sorry, I meant within my entire post.
May 17th, 2008 at 8:56 am
ALL RIGHT!!! - another step in the right direction for the coaches to get "lap-tops - another indicator that UHAD is moving in the right direction under the guidance of Jim D.
someday, Mrs A-House will buy me one - still expensive - then we can blog from many different places - does this mean we must buy a "wireless one"? - nah, just joking as my commo training knows the answer.
Hope many football fans will continue to donate to the Warrior's as they ascend the levels to continued success - it will be difficult in these economic times, but $10 from 50,000 =s $500,000.
Good luck to the Wahine SB team in their quest to win the Arizona Regional!!!!
May 17th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Howzit A-Joe...I had these great plans of starting from the "Bars of Waikiki Tour" and working my way around da island with Jason in tow to all the other famous watering holes. Den I remembered...he only drink WADA...lots & lots of...(gallons in fact)...maybe a 55 gallon drum size of H2O!
No worries tho! Emergency Plan B is being considered for members and honorary members of da West Side Tsaiko Chapter. We can put together a video of that historic tour and post it for him. It would be his visual-virtual Bertday Party of how much fun he might have had, if he could consume the goodly size tankards of ale we are sure to inhale.
Pssst!...Attention Tsaikettes...We might even include a peek of the behind the scenes videos of "Homey" the Tsaiko Calender Stud Muffin at play!
The bonus feature will include more crowd pleasing antics of our Purple clad mystery guest the amazing Sumo-Tsaiko hisself!
May 17th, 2008 at 8:58 am
I don't think they do roadwork on Sundays.
By the way, if anybody wants a tour of our work place, let me know. I only bring this up because we had visitors the other day. Oh, wait, you guys might want to wait a while. Leila is going to Disneyland this coming week.
May 17th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Just so sports knows--
"THE PERFECT SEASON" by the Honolulu Advertiser staff, featuring writings by ST and lots of color photos of the Warriors.
For $10 you cannot go wrong.
Buy this book!
May 17th, 2008 at 8:59 am
I know I also speak for homey..... EEEEAAAAZZZZYYYY TIGER
Happy Birthday Jason.... Make sure you wear clean BVDs to the baseball game (just in case LV shows up with his camera for the Tsaiko Calendar)
May 17th, 2008 at 9:05 am
A-Sports . . .
You are making me blush! What were you planning to do/with/for Jason?
Oh my.
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:06 am
wafan,
only place off campus we visited of was Casey Tavern. hot spot during my times there,
Wstate had 21 age restriction and needed to have a registered liquor license card to purchase or consume alcohol. I don't think its required any more. btw still have that card today.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Great Morning All.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Stretch-
Bwahahahahaha. Where is Homey btw?
Jason-
Follow Stretch's advice in #44. If you've read last night's post from Las Vegas about the Tsaiko calendar, you'd be very careful (and very afraid).
Gigi-
Thanks for the info. I wanted to get that book...wow, ten buck$ too.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:09 am
No worry A-House, I will be the responsible adult taking care of Jason tonight. Just make sure Midori is there to be the responsible adult to take care of both of us.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Hauoli Lahanau, JASON!
(set Marilyn Monroe voice ON)
Hap-py Birth-day to you,
Hap-py Birth-day to you,
Hap-py Birth-day math-e-ma-ti-cian,
Hap-py Birth-day to you,
(set Marilyn Monroe voice OFF)
May 17th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Gosh.
So much activity on the blog the past couple of day; almost like in-season times. It took a while to catch up.
Well maybe Stephen can sharpen his sales skills w/ The Perfect Season so he'll be ready to hawk the calendar when it comes out.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Wafan-
Oops...sorry for the misleading statement. I was talking about the booze, nothing else. Yikes. My apologies.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Wise beyond his years…
Jason, our favorite son.
Tsaiko… soon, - teacher!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:11 am
Aloha Kakahiaka!
So- Mr., Tsai, are you talking about the picture book written by no one???
Wowow.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:11 am
...Addahknowsports...butIknowsabitabout...gutters!!!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:12 am
Jason - BTW, not sure if Papa Al ever told you, but when you turn 21, you have to stop wearing the Spiderman Under-roos. You will have to upgrade to whitey tighties or boxers. I would suggest boxers but make sure you have two chinstraps no matter what LV suggests.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:12 am
Stretch-
That's an awful lot of responsibility for Midori. No worry, sistah, I get your back.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:13 am
Great news about the coaches getting laptops.
Bad news is, "What took so long?"
A-house,
I think most every laptop sold now has the "wireless" thing. At least this one I'm using now does and it was really inexpensive when I got it at ChumpUSA. (Although if it craps out now, I screwed)
May 17th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Question for LizK -
Isn't Kate Robinson ... a university student? So... I didn't understand the comment about "writing" like a university student..."
May 17th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Brew!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:16 am
Stretch- please be sure to pre-arrange the dd and be sure they have their Indy license!
Speaking of license-
Ukuboi wakes up this morning (with a little urging) - an hour before the- er, FINAL ROAD TRIP with his driving teacher- and says... where's my wallet???
arrgh!
Finally located in Eleele, we jump. unwashed, un-caffeinated into the car and make a dash to fetch it.
Pull into the school just in time.
This is not my idea of a sleep-in Saturday.
This vog is something else too... hack hack...
May 17th, 2008 at 9:17 am
Good Morning A-Sports! Didn't mean to ignore you in my #41 post.
Just that I was up to my usual crank pranks to stimulate the economy and hoping you would allow A-Joe off leash for a day to romp with da Tsaiko Calender Crew.
Tanks eh!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:17 am
stretch,
wot no pong, flutes, quarter exchanges lattas tonight?
May 17th, 2008 at 9:18 am
brew - re your #59- therin was the ironic obvious... bwahahaha!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:19 am
$10, huh?
Hmmm....... I'm looking at the numbered certificate w/ Colt's sig and the former coach's and Mack's autograph in my $150 copy......
Okay, I feel good now.
When do the adult bevs start getting served for Jason's B-day?
May 17th, 2008 at 9:19 am
A-Sports . . .
Nah. I know. Just teasing! It was funny, though. Sorry, I have to get my mind out of the gutter after working with high school kids. Just listening to their conversations would corrupt anyone's mind.
Another two hours before the Wahine take on the Sun Devils!
Washed my van -- check
Went to the chiropractor -- check
Walked for one hour -- check
Checked blog -- check
Now for lunch.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:22 am
... is duffer the one Tsaiko working today?
How long is A-Joe going to sleep? I mean, if it's partly for a beauty rest, it might be for a looooonnnnnngg..... Nah! Just kidding!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:23 am
Liz ~ Good ting da wallet was in Eleele and not Hanalei...on a Saturday...you would have to reschedule for next week!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:23 am
A-sports,
YOU got midori-7's back???
It's all the stuff you going be drinking WITH the "backs" that concern me!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:24 am
wafan,
Got Grilled Cheese?

May 17th, 2008 at 9:24 am
Hey Jason
Happy birthday!!!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:25 am

INDIANAPOLIS -- Rookie driver Mario Dominguez and veteran Max Papis crashed without injury during practice Saturday for the Indianapolis 500.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:27 am
A-Joe is still sleeping?
Wow, whatever happened last night must have been good. Another K-Call? Or, EIS?
May 17th, 2008 at 9:28 am
koakane,
Howzit.
No, she not over the shoulder. Mrs. was doing the channel surfing earlier.
I say, "See. Not easy to find something worth watching wen no mo football, eh?"
She finds a J-Lo chick flick.
I repeat!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Kekoa-
No worries, Joe gets a very loooong leash. But then, so do I. Are you are joining us tonight?
Wafan-
Understandable (about the hs kids). Do what's for lunch? Did you decide?
May 17th, 2008 at 9:29 am
wafan - When A-Joe posted this morning at 6 AM-HST - he wasn't getting up early....
May 17th, 2008 at 9:30 am
I worked for Paul Allen for a few months.
Coulda been the highest paying job in my career.
Then the company downsized, I got laid off and they made my assistant do my job.
Then the company went bankrupt.
But Mr. Allen is still a very smart and progressive-thinking person. And puts his money where his ideas are to see which ones can actually fly.
Yea- UH- get those laptops cranking!
Easier to see videos than on an iTouch.
Make sure you get plenty battery powah.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:31 am
wafan,
The "addahknows" are very modest.
Friday nites are wen a lot of the Tsaiko-ware "magically" appear.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:31 am
A-Sports:
"No worries, Joe gets a very loooong leash. But then, so do I. ".... Ahhhhh, kinky huh!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:31 am
wafan,
I definitely need to make a trip over to the westside so I can make a Uwajimaya run.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Big Brown runs today in the Preakness.
Run smart, Big Brown.
This is a short race.
Stay healthy - after a W today, Belmont is all yours.
I haven't seen a more exciting race horse since Secretariat.
really.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:33 am
A-Sports . . .
Yep, Norma's. Yum! Onolicious burgers, fries, fry-sauce, and a diet Coke (gotta balance out the fat from the burger and fries).
Brew . . .
How come A-Sports is already awake? HA!
Sorry. Being naughty. It is the sun, I tell you. The sun, and the heat.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:34 am
I had to Google it - Uwajimaya is big time Japanese supermarket huh?
May 17th, 2008 at 9:34 am
Did Kate Robinson write anything recently? I can't seem to find an update.
1.5 more hours to SOFTBALL!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:34 am
Liz,
Try stay outta da vog. ( right! Like how you going do that? No breathe?)
No need to get "shaky" again, eh? (anyway, take care.)
May 17th, 2008 at 9:36 am
OMG! My sentences are all screwed up. Must be the fact that I slept at 2:30ish last night.
Joe is still sleeping for those concerned. He will probably still be by the time I leave the house.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:37 am
d1- I made a vog blog last night...that's how nasty it is.
I have to sing this afternoon with my girlfriend's church- all the way in Kapaa!
croak
creak...
time por kope.
cu laters at softball time!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:37 am
Yeah Liz - I was disappointed that there wasn't a Journal entry by Kate Robinson in this morning's HA. I wonder if the brillian HA managers only signed her up for two days? Or.... it might be that some Reader's comments scared her away.... j/k
May 17th, 2008 at 9:39 am
I convinced hubby not to buy the WII FIT for $90. Told him "why you wanna do push ups????"
He said, "Is that what it is? Forget it! I can do push ups at the gym."
May 17th, 2008 at 9:40 am
Speaking of Uwajimaya. If anyone is familiar...
Does the one in Beaverton have a lot of "local" stuff, too?
May 17th, 2008 at 9:41 am
Woohoo- just got an email from this very cute B&B in Gainesville - they might have a room for gamenight!
I was NOT looking forward to sleeping in the bus station after the game
May 17th, 2008 at 9:41 am
... brillian HA managers...
That was suppose to read... "... brilliant HA managers... - but maybe that's not a real entity!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:42 am
dj . . .
Let me know when you are coming over we can get together for a WaCall. It is supposed to be getting up to the mid to high 80's. But tomorrow it will cool right off again. Oh well. Better enjoy summe while it is here!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:43 am
Liz,
Vog was awful here yesterday.
I took beau out this morning and it was WORSE!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:44 am

May 17th, 2008 at 9:45 am
Haha Brew (#82)-
Your cuteness never ends.
Joe was on his way to zzzland at six-ish this morning. He'll need his rest for tonight (when we rock this town with Jason)
Wafan-
Eat half a burger and some rootbeer for me. At least yours is just heat. This vog is killing me...no can breathe.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:46 am
A-Sports ~ Gotta be at my cousins Persuading reception at the Manoa Ball Room. If I step outside and hear the roar of the crowd from da stadium yelling, Jason - Jason -Jason!...that's it...I'm ditching the party and coming to the stadium!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:46 am
d1- so, sulfur dioxide plus moisture is- sulfuric acid? Just think what is happening inside our respiratory systems with every breath.
I wonder if I have any of my blue masks left...
May 17th, 2008 at 9:46 am
Happy Birthday, Jason!
Moving & improving...laptops for coaches. Wonderful to see the progress of the new admin. at UH athletics. Can't wait to get to a game later this year.
ST ~ let me know if you got the photos in your em. I had to re-send them to sighdude cuz the HA mail server rejected the lge. em. (Hope that was your em addy...me no know...)
May 17th, 2008 at 9:47 am
sports- chicken nut bread. eh?
May 17th, 2008 at 9:48 am
I wonder if we can convince the stadium to forgo the 7th Inning stretch song, "Take me out to the Ballpark" and sing "Happy Birthday to Jason"????!!!???
May 17th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Liz,
Yep. Even with a mask, imagine what it's doing to your car!
Acid rain.

d1,
Yes, the Beverton Uwajimaya has "local" stuff too. Anytime I make a trip to Portland or Seattle, there is always a stop at Uwajimaya.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:56 am
While at the UH Architecture golf tourney yesterday, jojo was helping at the putting contest. It was a little slow so she decides to pick up the putter and try a few for herself. She was getting set to putt and then stands back up and looks at me. She had to make sure that I wasn't going to video tape her golfing. I guess she didn't want to be famous like gigi. Not sure why she would think I would do that to her. Me?? Nah
BTW – I did find this video that everyone might find interesting. Don’t know who uploaded it but it appears to be shot with a phone camera so need to use glasses.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WkBR3DLzHk
I forgot to mention, while I was standing on the #10 tee at Waikele waving bye to jojo & jeje as they were driving out of the parking lot, jeje yells, "We gotta go home and do something!!" Funny thing is I don’t think they was joking….

Watching "Secret Agent Cody Banks". That learning to drive scene was absolutely hilarious. The guy reminds me of my drivers ed instructor, Mr. Chun. He was at Damien. Funny guy. I still remember him saying, "Gas 'em, boy! Gas 'em!" HA!
May 17th, 2008 at 9:57 am
I got the e-mail, but I'm having problems opening it. I'm going to try when I get into the office.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:57 am
Stretch,
By the seventh inning will we be able to remember the words to H BDay?
Maybe we should try Ozzie's version of "Ballpark"

By the seventh inning, will we remember Jason???
May 17th, 2008 at 9:58 am
stretch did a shout out to "ask pal" to see if leahey and he can give a small hello to him and pan us in da crowd
May 17th, 2008 at 9:59 am
Of course, it's hard to leave the house now. I mean, Top Gun is on HBO, and they're playing that Berlin song.
For the Holiday Bowl, we went to that restaurant where Goose sings "Great Balls of Fire."
Great ribs.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:59 am
CONGRATS! to the graduates, Candace, Crystal & Allie!
I was just in Eugene last June for my son's graduation. It's lovely this time of year, but the hills are alive with the sound of sneezing from the grass pollen.
Have a wonderful day everybody! Have fun Jason!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:01 am
dj,
Mahalo!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Whoah Stretch!
Was that golfer aiming for the 10th green in the next zip code?
May 17th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Stretch- bwahahaha!
jojo- POW-AH! Mebbe go putting AFTA "doing something" mo bettah...
(did I really say that???)
d1- mah cah stay insai. Gotta wash em, tho.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:02 am
hmmm, I wonder what Jason's 1st alcoholic beverage will be.
Beer? Wine? Hi-ball?
May 17th, 2008 at 10:03 am
Just spoke to Leahey.
He's going to give somebody a shout-out tonight.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:03 am
... cough syrup...
May 17th, 2008 at 10:04 am
gigi- apple martini?
NOT CR- puhleeze!!!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Someone should set his DVR timer
May 17th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Woo hoo- gotta watch da game and look for da SHOUT!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Speaking for Jason:
Will Princess Leila be there? 
May 17th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Hey, we need to keep track of everyone's birthday. So, everyone, tell me the day. I'll log it (or SteveM will log it) and we have shout-outs year 'round.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:06 am
If Jason is at the state track meet, then he'll see Leila.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:07 am
Maverick and Charlie are kissing now.
And there goes the Berlin song.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Stephen,
Monday! Big 5-0!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:09 am
SteveM,
Note for Genji:
Take My Breath Away.
Great Balls of Fire
(actually UHFan808 takes the notes at karaoke)
May 17th, 2008 at 10:10 am
And Maverick and Goose, having learned that Iceman took the lead, just said: I feel the need...the need for speed. Then they just gave the worst high-five ever.
I didn't know Dan Kelly was in Top Gun.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Where is UHFAN808 anyway?
May 17th, 2008 at 10:11 am
wow- d1-you so young!
Mine is march 28, 1950
May 17th, 2008 at 10:11 am
d1shima -- may 19.
so noted.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:11 am
I'm back.
Kekoa (#100)- Yeeee haaaaaawww!
Liz (#103) - Exactly!
Gotta get ready to Willie Grace.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:11 am
maybe Kelly and chawan_cut should re-enact that Hi-5
May 17th, 2008 at 10:12 am
liz — march 28.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Speaking of 808, maybe Jason's first drink should be a Funky Cold Medina.
Just tell him not to snuggle with Sheena.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Not sure if I she wants me to announce but since we are on the subject of birthdays... midori is June 19, the same night of the Dinner Call at Genji's. We can all sing her Happy Birthday there. She will probably be pissed at me now since I spilled the beans but what can she do to me?? kick me in my shin??
May 17th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Stephen,
You can mark it as my grandfather's day, too.
But he passed a while ago.
B4 blogs were invented.
but that doesn't necessarily mean he's not lurking.
Liz,
Is that a commentary on my looks?
May 17th, 2008 at 10:14 am
I am always 99 years old. The passing years won't change that stat.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:15 am
What does this mean: "Have a Bandit Day."
It's in the background.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Stretch,
You better hope midori aims that low!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Now Goose is singing Great Balls of Fire.
You shake my nerves and rattle my brain ...
May 17th, 2008 at 10:16 am
stretch just spoke to wreck who has a gig at uh for UH Architecture group tonight. you planning to attend or show up after game?
May 17th, 2008 at 10:17 am
d1 - no worry, i going use Prides helmet and two chinstraps for protection.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Wonder if Beowulf still reads the WB.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:18 am
that should be the theme song for Jason tonight
May 17th, 2008 at 10:18 am
And when is Stretch's b-day?
May 17th, 2008 at 10:18 am
Stephen,
Maybe a reminder from the "home" team to the Top Gun students?
May 17th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Brother Mike's is July 29.
"Ferd" and Rich Miano were born on Sept. 3. Just think of Papa Was a Rolling Stone.
"It was the third of September, that day I'll always remember ..."
May 17th, 2008 at 10:20 am
ST - nobody needs to know, I don't want to pull a homey
May 17th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Hi! I am wafan, and I am an Aries. I like walk on the beach, sunsets, ummm. Oh.
Next year April 16.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:22 am
I'm sure Midori7 will tell us Stretch's b-day.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:22 am
wow, we can turn his name into a verb
Like: Pauley got "Norvilled"
Our version: Jason got "homey'd" the other night
May 17th, 2008 at 10:23 am
Remember that song Float On?
It was by the Floaters.
They start off by giving their signs.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:25 am
"Let me know how sweet it can be, sharin' your love, with Larry ..."
May 17th, 2008 at 10:26 am
happy birthday jason, well deserved at that bro...
hope your day is a good one. from our ohana to you, Hauoli La Hanau
May 17th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Virgo, my name is ST
When I'm tired, I take a little rest-ee.
Float...float on..
May 17th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Float On. haha
That was a karaoke fave of one of our gang back in the day.
He thought he sounded great. We never drank enuf.
Some things remain the same....
May 17th, 2008 at 10:28 am
My birthday is the same date (not year) that Jerry Rice caught his NFL record 127th touchdown pass.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:29 am
OK, Goose is dead, so I have to go do some errands.
I'll be back for Liz's softball updates.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:31 am
Stephen,
If you leave now, you'll miss Maverick's great throwing motion!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:31 am
If anyone cares...July 21
wafan,
April 16 just happens to be my mom and my step-mom's b-days too.
ST,
I think the sign refers to being able to win any encounters the pilots have since the bad guys are called "bandits".
I think the Top Gun anthem is one of the coolest songs ever. It's a great song to do introductions to. We walked out to our senior assembly to that song in high school.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:37 am
Well, Mrs. d1shima has settled on Pretty Woman.
The yard beckons. I wonder again how much it would be to install Field Turf in my back yard.
I hope the vog is only in the front of my house. (Oooh, I wish my house were that big!)
laters.....

One fun thing happened while I was stuck in traffic yesterday...I got to practice singing "A-wimo-weh, A-wimo-weh, A-wimo-weh..." with the radio. Gotta have fun when you can...
My berfday is the same as my Popo's (who sang like a frog, but sang never-the-less): Dec. 1
May 17th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Stephen- did you see my "top gun" nephew? Click on my name or on this link:

Happy Birthday Jason!
Good luck to the Wahine and Bows today.
Congrats to all the college graduates - HA offspring & those graduating tomorrow from UH. Oh yeah, and congrats to all the Jr Bows graduating today in our time honored tradition at Andrews Amphitheater.
Maverick's taking off for the dogfight. Love this flick!! TIm Robbins is screaming at Tom Cruise.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:51 am
MeiLing - you have the same bday as jojo... I think.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:53 am
MeiLing- Funny how associations change the meaning of formerly mundane occurances!
Perhaps ST should do a "joe" (Me and Mrs. Gomes) and sing - "a Wena-weh, a Wena-weh, a Wena-weh"
May 17th, 2008 at 10:53 am
Good morning everyone!
What a coincidence--I was up at 0230 this morning too...got in the first Happy Birthday Jason! but blinked and missed Esme zoom by.

Big Brown looked barely winded, ready to run some more. Announcer sez the hardest part of the race was pulling up when it was over. BB wanted to keep going.

Go Wahine!

Good to read that the Tsaiko World is doing great this fine day (WHAT VOG?) hehehe

Na Wahine....never, never give up! Play from the heart and no regrets.

Jake Justice(?) was the announcer and actually sent a couple of shouts out to the Hawaii fans and his hopes that the Wahine would win tonight and be back to play again in primetime.

Hi, Tsaiko Nation,
Finally back from Orlando, glad that's over.
Jason,
A very happy birthday to you. The Tsai-Meisters tribute to you is spot on and fits you to a T.
LizK,
Thanks for the great reporting, again.
The blog is humming again lately, could all the problems actually have been fixed?
May 17th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Well whoever the announcer is.. I feel bad for ASU fans that have to listen to their games on their radio network.... zzZZzzZZzzzzzzzz

Hi Jason, my young friend,
Life holds countless blessings, too,
When we have a faith that's true,
Joys are greater, cares are lighter,
Friends are dearer, hopes are brighter,
Prayers are answered all lifelong,
When we have a faith that's strong.
God Bless You on Your Birthday!

Lopaka43 ~
If you read between the lines, it gives you the impression that the gators are no where near as "together" as the Warriors. Our guys are very tight with each other and are sincerely very supportive as well. That makes a HUGE difference in their particular case.
Injuries to key personnel can be a problem for any team at anytime. I don't wish that on any team. We want to beat them when they have their best players on the field so that there is no excuses.
Off field antics can also be a distraction, and have a negative effect on the team. Seems like the geckos have had their share of problems in that area. I doubt if we will have that problem. bhf2 will be on their okole if they even look sideways!
Bottom line is, we have a very well rounded group of players that are pointed in the right direction. They will represent well, and can beat these gator geckos.
May 17th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
They turned off the A/C in our office.
We're all boiled peanuts, which, as it turns out, is one of the answers to the new local grinz test.

Here is the ESPN assessment of the SEC, including Florida, coming out of spring practice.
The review for Florida focuses on the emergence of running back Chris Rainey and pass rusher Carlos Dunlap, the youth of their secondary, the need to provide more protection against or diversions of hits on Tebow, the inexperience of their interior defensive line, and the likelihood that Florida will rotate quarterbacks to help keep Tebow fresh.

May 17th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
I got curious about how hard it is to beat Florida in The Swamp since Urban Meyer became coach in 2005:
In 2007, they played eight games at home and lost 2 times (Auburn beat them 20-17 and Georgia beat them 42-30)
In 2006, they lost only one game all year and that was on the road (Auburn beat them 27-17)
In 2005, they won all seven of their home games, but lost three times on the road.
It will take great focus, preparation, and intensity to win in such a setting. There is no need for fear, but we face a great challenge and a rare opportunity to measure ourselves against the best. Go WARRIORS!!

My reaction when I saw this ad:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes, guys. We're going to have a nice, clean, fun time at the baseball game tonight, right? Right?
I thought I already mentioned that my first alcoholic purchase will be white wine. I gotta learn how to make a white wine sauce. It's gonna feel weird, though, buying alcohol. My sister only buys the weak drinks; my Mom and I don't drink at all. And it's going to stay that way — no Aunty Marialani for me.
BTW, as you can tell, I survived the hike up Makapu‘u Lighthouse Trail. Medics only have to resuscitate me four times. Nah, once we went past the first lookout, it was alright. Going down was harder, my knees were taking a beating. We went afterwards to Hanauma Bay, but they stopped us cause we took our church bus, and they said "groups" need permits. So instead, we went to Costco, got some food, then went to Sandy Beach.
Oh yeah, and congratulations to all the graduates. A bunch of my friends are walking tomorrow; it's too bad that the ceremony is always on Sunday, I can't make it cause of church. But I am proud of ALL of them!
And about time that the football coaches finally get laptops. It's not like they are that expensive anymore.
Two more things. First, I was the top fundraiser (not organizer) for Relay for Life, but that was only because the Tsaikos stepped up and gave so generously. All I did was bug people for money; that's no different than what I do with my Mom.
(BTW, the new watch I have — fundraising gift from RFL. The more you raise, the better the gift. So everyone, thanks for my new watch.)
And finally ... I miss Discovery Zone!!!
May 17th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Lopaka43,
Thanks for the good stuff.
Dunlap and Rainey were very impressive in their spring game. Both wear #8. Hope UH is on the positive end of "who 'ate' who" at the end of the game.
May 17th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
C'mon, C.J.! Buffalo could be a nice fit for him, they aren't all that deep at receiver, and a smaller guy like Lee Evans has had success in their system. (Then again, Lee Evans was a first-rounder.)
May 17th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Good luck to CJ.
If he sticks will our blog host become a fan of the B-I-L-L-S?

Stop studying NFL rosters.
You should be concentrating on cocktail mixes to see what you'd like to order tonight
May 17th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
May 17th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Stephen,
No A/C?
Maybe the honchos are training you for conditions in the Swamp?
Imagine today's weather but 15 degrees hotter. Kinda like summer in NYC?
May 17th, 2008 at 2:53 pm

I hope you have a great and safe time tonight with all of the Tsai-ko's. I was going to say they are all talk and no action but that would be a lie. Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Happy 21st!

May 17th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
sorry, at 99, I am older than S Temple! And I am not attracted to younger men!
May 17th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Finally decided against Norma's. It mainly has outdoor seating -- it is way too hot today. Right now it is 89 and is actually cooler than it was a couple of hours ago. I think we really did get hotter than Honolulu did. And, it is not the hottest part of the day, yet. That will be in another hour or so.
Maybe go there tonight for dinner when it finally cools off -- hoping for anything below 80.
May 17th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Go with the one who smells least like an old person.

Jason - stick to Shirley Temple
May 17th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
This is the last of my posts of Florida info. I'm not boosting Florida, but I think we need to see what we are up against. Urban Meyer has his own website which has all sorts of bells and whistles designed to impress recruits and fans.
The site has a fly-in intro that takes you from a picture of the globe down into The Swamp, and includes videos of practices, and pictures of the team.
There is no reason we couldn't do the same thing for Coach Mack and the Warriors.
May 17th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Jason . . .
Of course, being older than you (I think all of us are older than you), I know I smell like an old person. The trick is to hang around older people so your old person smell is not as noticable.
HA!
May 17th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Alright guys, I'm heading out early so that I get to the game on time this time. See you there! Go Nā Wahine and go 'Bows!

Agree wicchu. Not for the Geckos either but tru wat you say.

Anyway for those of you who missed Gecko Spring game you can check out Rainey and Dunlap on this video. Rainey near the end of first minute; Dunlap around the 2:00 mark

Mmmm. The smells of BBQ's being lit. Soon the smell of chicken, beef, pork and vegi's.

McTruck,
I have the thermostat set for 78 degrees, so the thermometer fluctuates between 75 and 77.
Before I turned on the a/c, it was 89 degrees inside the house.
May 17th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Lopaka43,
I'm getting the same stuff here from all the locals. I certainly hope that the Gators will take us as lightly as their fans are. The general consensus is that it will be a cake walk, merely a tune-up game. Overconfidence is a very slippery slope, If we can hit them early and our defense can hold them down somewhat, hopefully a little panic will set in the Gators hearts and they start to press. Mistakes could result and growing confidence on our side. They are looking at the SB and think that's our team, they will be surprised. The SB wasn't even last years team.
May 17th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
The Wahine game is being broadcast online. Go Wahine 'Bows!
IMUA men's baseball! Have a great time Tsai-kos! Sounds like you can treat Jason to an ice tea....
May 17th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Florida Ted
In our favor is the fact that the last time the veterans on this team played was against Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. That was our tuneup for the Florida game.
Important to stay humble, work hard, and create no bulletin board motivators for the Gators.

One of the things that drove me crazy when I moved back home was not being able to do things like go to MLB or NFL games.
I called it Rock Fever. I even resorted to island hopping several times a year. Nothing would cure the feeling so I had to move back here. It is not as if I travel a lot up here, though. I think it just has to do with the thought that I could do it if I wanted.

No one out.
wafan, that's why I'm planning to go to UH football games. I'm going to get to the Bay Area to see an Oakland A's game & SF for a Giants game before Fall. But I don't need to travel that much & I think I could handle being home. "Be here now." I've lived under the SF Peaks here & don't miss the ocean. I just enjoy living where I am...even when I lived in the Ozarks in MO.

It's fun to watch Detroit's Edgar Renteria, Gary Sheffield, Pudge Rodrigues in last night's game. And "I love my Diamondbacks!" Go D-Backs! They're down 3-2 in the 8th. Trace Adkins is doing a concert tonight at the ballfield after the game.

ML . . .
I really tried to love it and stay at home. I just could not do it. I think the major problem was the island mentality. Not that that is a bad thing at all.
Still, I miss Hawai'i and am thinking of moving back once I retire from education in six or seven years. I can always get a job -- I know how to say, "Is that for here or to go?" and "Do you want fries with that?"
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
May 17th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Hey Brew!
How are things going?

May 17th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Loved watching Byrnesie when he played for the A's. Sat in the (left)outfield last night and got to cheer on Byrnes when he came out. Great to see him hit his homer last night to break his hitting slump.
Walk to B. Bell.
Boyce at 2nd on a double.
Come on D! Coolen calls time out to talk to Robinson.

Suicide squeeze scores a run for Bulldogs.
Boyce tagged out a home. 2 outs.
Score 5-3 Hawaii.
Runners at the corners.
2-out RBI single.
Score 5-4.
Robinson is pulled.
I think the traffic is what will drive me crazy (punny!) when I move home. I'd like to find a job at UH, live in McCully-Mo'ili'li, walk to work. That's my goal.
May 17th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Jessica Morton in to pitch.
Bainbridge retired, 2 runners left on.

BTW - Congrats to the Tsai 'ohana! When is the big celebration for #1? And may we inquire as to the Allie Plans?
Say - I see in the HA that there's a Career Fair at some public HS in town. Will there be anyone advertising for careers in the publishing/journalism field?

I'll try send another single of some players. But w/ the netting, it's not I have the bestest...
I have to get back to straightening this house & organizing stuff for a yard sale...'Argh! In my next home, I'm going Zen-sparse decor...

Mahalo MeiLing!!! ❀
May 17th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
This blog is slowing waaaayyyy down on refreshing.
"...it's not the bestest I have." tried to correct text & back-spacing put my cursor in the middle of the sentence. This is the first time I've experienced this problem. Now I know what people are complaining about. Yuck!
May 17th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Thanks again for the play-by-play.
I'm off to the Div. II volleyball championship.
I'll be back in a bit.
May 17th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Bummers - I was hoping to see MeiLing wearing a floppy hat!
We've seen photos of gigi wearing a floppy hat!
We've seen photos of Mrs. A-House wearing a floppy hat!
I think I've seen a photo of midori7 wearing a floppy hat!
.... I think everyone wants to be like Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw!!! ... wearing a floppy hat!
May 17th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
Whoo-hoo ML!
Nice job with the play-by-play.
And, why no photo of you? You cannot be funnier looking than me! And, my picture did not break the internet.
Anyone out in Tsai-koland have a photo of ML?
May 17th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
K, I'll probably at hula practice tomorrow. I'm sure LizK will do play by play if she's around. IMUA RAINBOW WAHINE!!! I think the announcer said that all runs for Hawaii were scored on homeruns!
Fox Sports Net here is broadcasting a day game: NMSU vs LaTech. They just mentioned UH scoring 5 runs in an inning on this LaTech pitcher. And more about the games played at HI. Cool!
May 17th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
On top of that kudos from the headmaster himself!
May 17th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
There was a pic of MeiLing with Las Vegas at a Makino Chaya CC a while back. SJ Macro provided the link to his album.
She has long black hair.
May 17th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
SteveM has a pic of me at a CC w/ las vegas when we were both home in Feb. I have a photo of las vegas, me & my Mom in LV last weekend, but it needs editing.
When I was at the game yesterday, I had a ticket for a seat above the Miss. St. dugout. So I walked over to HI's section & asked if I could sit in the roped off section w/ the HI fans. They said, "Yeah, you have the right shirt on." I was wearing my green Warriors Football t-shirt.
May 17th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
I actually have a black cowboy hat that looks like the Chancellor's hat without the back flap. Gotta go hang out with the paniolo on the Big Island to look at home with it on. Guess I gotta move that hat, too. Soooo much stuff, and it's only stuffs...
K, I'm off...laterz
May 17th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Okay Jason, Tsaikos and Tsaikettes...

May 17th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Hi,wafan,
just me lurking. Like a stadium 6 hours before game time.
May 17th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Wow - talk about a late start...
Purdue will play Nevada at approximately 12:45 a.m. ET.
Okay - only this time... Go Wolfpack ... girls? b__ches? Go WAC!
wafan - what is the proper term for female canines?
May 17th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Hey Brew!
Thanks for the WAC updates. Looks like there is a possibility of an all-WAC final four! Whoo-hoo!
I thought I was alone so decided to amuse myself.
That did not sound right.
BaseBows game on now -- 2nd inning.
May 17th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Hi F-Ted!
Looks like it is the mainland Tsai-ko's who will be holding down the fort tonight.
May 17th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Howzit FloridaTed!
I always think I'm seeing, fluoridated! Funny huh? 
May 17th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
HA! Brew, you know very well what the correct term is. Lady Wolves.
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
May 17th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
"...so decided to amuse myself." Okay, Damien guy.... sorry!
May 17th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
When I Believe visited that was one of the things we talked about -- people's blog names. For the longest time people would always call me WarFan. Made me sound so violent. HA!

Bwah-ha-ha-ha!
May 17th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
wafan -
I'm having trouble with that mental picture of a Lady Wolf!
First - I picture the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood, now wearing a muu muu and a floppy hat!
Then, is the Lady Wolf suppose to be serving us tea and cookies/finger sandwiches using fine china? No!
Is the Lady Wolf curtsying and sharing a ballroom dance, or snarling and biting? Yeah - the latter!
Will the Lady Wolf share her bone and treats, or use you as a chew toy?
See what I mean?
May 17th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Brew . . .
Sounds like your Lady Wolf has PMS. HA!
As for using me as a chew toy -- more fat than meat.
May 17th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
That is kind of scary. A Tsaikette with PMS. Yow!!!
Thanks for the mind picture Brew.
May 17th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
... finger sandwiches - just noticed that one! Ha!
FloridaTed - not a dentist, GOOD! Me no likey dentists! But fluoridated means white teeth, so....
wafan - I think there was a Chinese restaurant in downtown Honolulu call Wa Far Hut, ... I think!
May 17th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Finally, the very first hit of the game.
And, with that I bid you all a good night!
May 17th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Hmmmmmm.... if I keep this up, we'll all have to be fluoridated to cleanse these odd mental images from our poor minds!
UH Rainbow Warrior Baseball and Utah Valley State are tied, 0-0 after 3 innings.
Goodnight wafan!
May 17th, 2008 at 8:04 pm

Best of luck to Hawthorne! It is hard to make it as an undrafted free agent, but he has speed, hands, and character. If the NFL won't recognize that, then maybe he can get a shot in the CFL or some other league and get some recognition there so that they will give him a real shot in a year or two.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:32 pm

Looks like Miami's new NT feels like he'll make Samson a better C...and the last two centers he was teammates with made it to the Pro Bowl, so hopefully he helps Samson do the same!

Everyone is asleep here and I just finished the rough draft of my next proposal...so I guess it is free play link time. Please ignore my next 5 posts if you don't want the off topic stuff.
This 13-year-old in Texas got a credit card for his Dad's account and went on a $30k spending spree. He got two $1000 per night call girls to come to the hotel room he rented for him and his friends...and the call girls were surprised that guys just wanted to play Halo all night instead of have sex. The kid's father responded to the incident by saying that he'd take his kid on a surprise trip to Disneyland!

Hi Garret!
Yup - I think CJ can continue to play, NFL (maybe), CFL, Arena for sure - if he wants it! Go CJ!
Don't you have a conference in LV soon? Will you be hooking up w/ las vegas? Did you end up booking a room downtown? Will you be driving there? How much will gas cost? Is Lori the "bookkeeper/accountant" for ACR?
May 17th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
The Air Force wants a suite of hacker tools to be able to get access to and full control of any computer.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Free play links pau.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
brew,
I agree that CJ will have a career if he wants it...but it is a hard road to go through the CFL or Arena leagues, so players really have to want it to stick with it. I'd love for him to get on an NFL team's practice squad, but that is hard as an undrafted free agent who seems to have been overlooked by the scouts.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
I leave tomorrow for the conference. I haven't even practiced my presentation yet and haven't looked at my slides since I turned them in 2 weeks ago. So, that is what I'll be doing all of Sunday or Monday nights...the first time I'll be in Vegas and NOT gamble in a casino!
I will be driving my hybrid car, so gas won't be too bad for me.
Lori did our bookkeeping for awhile, but now that we have a big contract about to be deposited in our bank account and need to do payroll and other stuff my co-founder has taken over that burden.
I ended up booking a room at the Sahara for under $50 per night. I couldn't pass up that cost and its proximity to Harrahs is nice.
I didn't try to arrange something with las vegas, 702, or others because this trip is a packed business trip. I get in *late* Sunday night (I'm doing stuff with the in-laws, Lori, and my kids in the morning and midday), have to be at the conference from early Monday morning until it finishes (speakers sit in a special section all together, so they will notice if I'm not there!), then have the networking stuff over dinner, then will stay up all night practicing my presentation. Tuesday I'll be at the conference all day and then will drive home right afterwards.
I'll be in Vegas with my family in late June and hopefully will be able to meet up with Las Vegas then.
May 17th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
Hawthorne gets tryout...
Buffalo needs receivers
CJ fits the "Bils"
May 17th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
Thanks for the update Garret! Drive safely, and have a fruitful conference!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Wow, brew wrote me a haiku!
I sound like the Chesire Cat.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
Thank you brew! I would be more concerned about the conference if I was speaking on the first day. But since I won't have to present my stuff until Tuesday, I figure I can work on it Sunday and Monday night. I figured if I finished my proposal draft then I could send it out to a couple of people so they could read it and get feedback to me while I was at the conference.
It will be weird to go to Vegas and NOT have any cash with me, and know that I will not allow myself to gamble because I do not have time.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
I am stoked about the news of Hawthorne's workout with the Bills. Go get em, CJ!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Reports are the baseball game Tsai-ko's are heading for TJ's Sports Bar and Grill (where Kapiolani and King Street meet -- across from the HA building). Everyone invited to join the group there!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Best of luck to you, Garret. No worries — can handle!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
SteveM, you must be tsychic. I was JUST thinking: I can't believe no one has posted so far with an update on the game outing and Jason's birthday ... and then there you were.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
If and when I present stuff, I now like to have it scheduled early. That way, I come prepared, give my presentation, then I'm pau! I can spend the rest of the time fielding questions and/or having in-depth discussions with interested parties. And I can attend the other sessions, etc., or sometimes even escape to check out the local sights. Recently, I've cut back on my conference travel as I'm bombarded by questions that are either highly political, or most certainly controversial. I don't need that. Last week I passed on conferences in Lake Tahoe (nice!) and Albuquerque (spent lots of time there already - chiles). Oh well....
May 17th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
I have been donating money over the years to UT-Austin to the scholarship programs that gave me scholarships when I went there. You know when I realized that I was a good donor to the UT-Austin Engineering scholarship funds? When they decided to fly in a representative to San Diego to meet with me about their search for a new Dean of Engineering and to tell me about the new initiatives they are starting in the School of Engineering...in other words, they hope that I'll get excited enough about the new programs to donate even more.
The guy booked his flight late last week when I told him what day and time I could meet with him. I'll be seeing him on Thursday...when someone from a University books a flight and lets you pick the day, time, and place of the meeting, you know you have to hold on to your wallet!

May 17th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Boy, brew, yer on a roll. Add one more like that and you'll nearly have a limerick!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
brew,
I love the chile fries and burgers in Alguquerque! This conference is a little different because there is only one presentation at a time...everyone is in one big room for the entire conference. So, I won't miss any other session or presentation. Though I would prefer to speak early and be able to discuss stuff with people during the networking sessions. However, all of the presentations slides are being given to the attendees when they check in at the conference, so at least everyone will have my slides and can ask questions about them even before I give my talk.
I'd *love* to see you at a conference and to listen in on the political/controversial questions and answers!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
SteveM,
Thank you for the update on Jason's birthday celebration! I wish I could be there...
May 17th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
Esme,
Thank you. I'm not worried at all yet. Sometime Tuesday afternoon that could change, but for now I'm calm!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
There once was a gal name Esme...
Her visits to Tsaiko-land were often short and crazy...
But we cherished them so, and anxiously waited to know
all about HawaiiMoms and her family!!!
May 17th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Say Esme - did you ever get the e-card I sent to you? I got a message saying the card was "undeliverable".
May 17th, 2008 at 10:32 pm

Wow Esme- you get pretty haiku from brew...
He just leaves me coughs...

Nitey Nite and Sweet Dreams, Kakou!
May 18th, 2008 at 1:02 am
Definitely a weird sports day here in Hawai`i and elsewhere in the universe. We had not a clue when we went into our lunch meeting shortly after 11:30 am that the Wahine would be blown away. My first reaction upon hearing the score around 2 pm when we left the building and could turn on the radio was that they'd failed to show up and the game was forfeited because I cannot remember the last time the ten-run rule was invoked against them. Probably before Jason was diaper-free.
It was wonderful to hear that they won the next game, but can you imagine what must be going through their heads that they have play the same team not once but twice to win the regional.
For those of you who like to converse with God, please ask Her to make sure that she takes care of the Wahine tomorrow.
Saw Kazz and Jason off in the distance before the game which was packed with about 20 different kids' teams from around the island.
The senior ceremony at the conclusion of the baseball game was kind of subdued because of the loss. The bats had definitely cooled off - walked runners left on base two times and twice runners picked off trying to steal third.
Also saw Gigi off in the distance at the Book & Music Festival.
The dry season has started - no ball games here until August when the Wahine volleyball team gets back onto their court. But as DrDoc says - plenty MLB to watch on tv and, of course, lots of summer action films at the multiplexes around town.
Best of luck to folks graduating over the next two or three weekends.

Ralph - It doesn't hurt to use a registry cleaner or defrag but you don't have to do that often unless you are constantly deleting and storing new files.
If you are using Firefox or some other browser that has auto delete features for temp file, cookies, history, etc. then you can set those parameters. The whenever you exit your browser it will automatically clean up for you.
You should also remove unneeded tasks that run in the background. Those processes can slow your computer down big time. That's why just booting up takes a long time. I think the executable file is called msconfig (google it to make sure).
Another thing to speed up the computer, get the newest processor or increase your memory.
If you have XP you may want to try this...
click on Start
>right click on my computer >properties > advanced tab > performance settings
>adjust for best performance (make sure you know what you want to keep)
>apply >ok
You can always revert back if you wish.

I'll have to type out a proper post later, but a quick thank you to everyone for making my 21st birthday an awesome one. I'll give a full recap later. But I'm home safe, and I did not have a drink.

Jason, glad to hear you had a good time for your birthday night with all the Tsaikos. I wish I could have been there to help you celebrate.

Hawaii's Team might have a fan base of a million or so.
Polynesia's Team located in the center of the Pacific with ties to Asia and Austrailia would have a fan base of 100-1000X! That would make it much more marketable and attractive to sponsors. I hope JD has plans and makes some effort to grow the market/fan base. UH has only talkedabout it - talk, no action. That needs to change lead by Jim Donovan, Chancellor Hinshaw, Coach Mack and all of Warrior Nation!!!
(Whew - it's too early to be on the soap box.... so, I'll get off of it now....)

No a/c here -- sure could have used it yesterday, though. It got up over the 90-degree mark in the house. Dang! No wonder I was sweating like crazy. Eventually had to sit under the tree in the front yard to try and catch a breeze. Finally gave up and took a fan outside. My neighbors came over to chat and eventually brought their fans outside, too.
I thought it but I did not say it . . . some of my neighbors were nearly translucent. Kind of reminded me of the English royalty and how they never saw the sun. Awwww, heck. This is Washington and it really was the first hot and sunny day of the year. I sure hope they are not sun-burned today!

You really can't fault a 99 year old wahine for dreaming, now, can you?

This morning, hubby and I will be practicing at the driving range and putting green at Pearl Country Club. Don't know if we have to be members... Wonder how long I will be allowed to play in a long muumuu, a floppy hat, and jogging shoes. Dress code, what dress code???
Then tonight, we will dine at Ciao Mein in the Hyatt Regency. Supposedly a blend of Italian and Chinese cuisine. All I know is both feature noodles!
May 18th, 2008 at 6:48 am
Aloha Kakahiaka! IMUA Rainbow Wahines!!!
I am going to be at hula practice when they play ASU today. Tsigh...
Garret, hope your presentation goes well. I was just in LV & didn't gamble. I was pulling weeds & trying to fix sprinkler systems. 'Auwe!
Jason, glad you had a great birthday with Tsaiko friends. Not drinking a lot is ok; alcohol = kilo-calories. I gave up beer in college, cuz I got a beer belly in one month working at a bar (free beer). Not worth it.
DPK, Al, you still working on the challenge? I lost one lb...tsigh. Taro mix waffles this morning doesn't help.
May 18th, 2008 at 6:50 am
When I googled “dress code at golf courses,” this is what I found:
1. No dress code at municipal golf courses.
2. The more you pay, the stricter the dress code.
3. Most golf clubs will allow a collared shirt and shorts.
4. A small number will not permit shorts and require golf slacks.
So looks like I am safe in a muumuu at municipal golf courses!

There once was a Tsaiko named Brew

He loved to poke fun at the crew
but nobody cared, and paid him his due
by just picturing him wearing a tutu!
Brew ~ I might have burned a gazillion brain cells for just that little 4 liner, so please say you thought it was funny even if you really don't mean it. I've been really sensitive to critics ever since I got to know a certain Tsaiko with the initials ESME....
Nah! nah! nah! - j/k Esme!...You know I lub you Jason's Nanay!

Great Morning All.
Melancholy end to the home schedule for the 'Bows last night
Big MAHALO to Stretch for the tix.
Great seats! For those of you wondering why the home team bats were so quiet from the perspective we had, it was no surprise. Lots of movement on the ball from the UV pitcher. The guy rarely threw anything over 80 (sitting right behind the uys with the JUGGS) but kept the Rainbow batters befuddled.
May 18th, 2008 at 7:31 am
Great news about the 2nd game for the SBall Wahine.
Good luck today.
Go get'em!
Then GO GET'EM SUMMOA!

howzit kekoa,
The Gainesville Sun writes:
"The Gators lacked unity and chemistry last season, which can be traced to the offseason a year ago, when UF was coming off the national championship and everyone was too giddy to detect any potential problems in those areas. Meyer stressed chemistry and unity throughout the spring, and the Gators did seem to be closer than they were last season. Now, they have to remain in that togetherness mode during the summer workouts and conditioning program. These guys are going to have to get together on their own and play pitch-and-catch and put themselves through drills. This is where that championship bond starts to take hold.
Come back, Percy (and others)
* Coming off his heel surgery in the spring, wide receiver Percy Harvin must now do everything the doctors and trainers tell him to do to get back to 100 percent in the next six or seven weeks. Harvin is such an important part of the offense, and the Gators need him back at full speed to set so many things in motion. He is one of several key injured players who must make a successful (and fairly quick) comeback. The others are offensive tackle Phil Trautwein, offensive guards James Wilson, Jim Tartt and Maurice Hurt, quarterback John Brantley, linebacker Ryan Stamper and defensive tackle Javier Estopinan.
******Avoid the night life*******
* During the offseason last year, several players got in trouble with some rowdy and embarrassing late-night behavior. This reflects one thing — a lack of leadership. The leaders of the 2008 team, quarterback Tim Tebow and middle linebacker Brandon Spikes, need to step up and make sure their teammates stay in line. Going out is acceptable. Going out and doing something stupid is not. Of course, the Gators are off to a really embarrassing start, with safety Jamar Hornsby getting the boot last week for felony theft and fraud.
Hang on, Moody
* After a slow start, Southern Cal transfer Emmanuel Moody came on strong at tailback in the last week of the spring, then he rushed for more than 100 yards in the Orange and Blue Debut. But he wiped out all that good stuff by losing a fumble in the end zone. Meyer is adamant Moody (or any other tailback) won't see the field if there is a chance he's going to fumble. Moody has some serious talent, but to showcase it and become a major contributor in the fall, he's got to fix his problem with ball security this summer.
Keep eating, Rainey
* Redshirt freshman Chris Rainey had a breakout spring, producing big play after big play at tailback and receiver. The goal now is to put some meat (and more muscle) on his thin frame. He's been working at it and is closing in on 180 pounds. Meyer would like him to be at about 185 by the start of the season. Running backs coach Kenny Carter has said he envisions Rainey eventually being an explosive 195-pound tailback. With some size to go along with his speed and skill, Rainey has a chance to be Harvin-like this season. So, eat up, Chris."

Did we mention that we know the "Big Guys" from across the street in the News Bldg? Did it matter?
So me, Mrs. d1shima, midori7, UHFan808, A-joe, A-sports, koakane, James, Stretch, G (I think, sorry if wrong) settle in with the Birthday Boy (now a Man).
