Colt, A-Rod joined at the hip (surgery)
Colt Brennan confirms that he and A-Rod had the same injury (slightly torn labrum).
Both were treated by the same specialist, Dr. Marc Philippon of Colorado.
But while A-Rod opted to immediately undergo surgery that will force him to miss up to two months, Brennan delayed his operation in order to participate in last year’s Senior Bowl, NFL Scouting Combine and UH’s Pro Day. Brennan’s toughness — he played all of 2006 with a lumbar strain and most of 2007 with a severely sprained ankle — should be appreciated.

Linebacker Tim Brown, who made 107 tackles as a Kapolei High senior in 2007, said he will join the Warriors as a walk-on.
Brown is 6 feet 1 and 217 pounds.
He attended Fort Union Military Academy, a prep school in Virginia, during the 2007-2008 academic year.

Sad to report that Bob Ryan, a former UH assistant football coach, has died. Ryan was on Dave Holmes’ staff in the early 1970s.
He also was once WAC commissioner Karl Benson’s father-in-law.

Happy birthday to the very beautiful Juliet (Mrs. D1shima).
And to Juliet, we present the gift of music, from her Romeo:
Get outta hea! No way!
Whoo-hoo!
Top 5!!!
Good morning from O’Doherty’s Irish pub. Hope everyone has a great say and weekend. Top 10 baby!
A-Joe:
I think baseball’s grounds crew is faster than softball’s.
RE: Wahine Softball rained-out game called at the 5th – UH wins 5-3.
Rules are rules. Rarely the rules favors Hawaii in general in terms of NCAA guidelines.
Coolen is right. We win. END OF STORY.
“If can, can. If no can, GO HOME!”
ST,
You get mail sir. I sent it to your two accounts.
Wow, another Kapolei Alum. They are cranking out D1 players.
Just saw that, Kazz.
Wow.
That’s a pretty nice gesture. I’m kind of speechless.
Colt and A-Rod “joined at the hip”?
I hope not. Colt no need “enhance” his training routine…
that grounds crew worked their tails off last night!
I kept thinking last night how many of us have a job that’s being watched and scrutinized by a captive stadium audience?
I think the prep academy route is a pretty good option. It’s essentially the 13th grade.
You get another year of schooling, plus you get to play ball.
Colt went to a prep school.
ST ~ Are you and the A-House ohana able to ford that stream at the bottom of your ‘hood?
As for softball, it’s always fun to watch Coolen when it rains.
He’s a neatnik.
Sometimes he helps spread the tarp.
The funny thing is afterward, when he checks and re-checks the tarp.
He’s kind of like the grandma who cleans up after everybody helps clean up.
Kekoa:
We always had thoughts of becoming a sovereign neighborhood.
And if that didn’t work, then we could always travel back using Midori7’s Monster truck.
Eh, howz Kailua side today? Flooded?
ST,
No worries. He’s a fan! I’ll find out more details today and I’ll e-mail you again.
Coach Coolen seems like he’s borderline like the grandma that leaves the cellophane on the remote control for years after the TV was bought.
Oh, and let me tell you about that stream. What is it? Twelve feet wide?
To repair that little bridge took more than two years. And millions of dollars. Then there was the down time. So they set up a light system because the bridge could accommodate only one lane of traffic. They put up a light system in which it was red on both sides. Then when the sensor picked up a waiting card, there was a 10-second pause before the green light came on. Sometimes it took several minutes to make the 12-foot drive.
Coolen is just like that, Kazz.
I once saw him vacuuming his duster.
He also uses a ruler to write. Every letter — in print, of course — is symmetrical.
Oh man… I was hoping to catch the Wahine play today at 1 before the baseball game tonight, but looks like the Manoa Mist will be more like a Warrior Washout.
The clouds of doom look like they are hanging over the valley right now.
It’s bad when you can hear the rain pounding on the roof of a concrete building…
Sounds like djmitcho is doing some serious EIS work at an Irish Pub.
Let’s us know what the results of your investigation reveal. We may have to send bradda Koakane, the Tsaiko EIS team leader, up there for certification.
Re: Bridge.
Some clown decided he couldn’t always wait for the green light.
So he decided to go against the red, onto the now one-lane bridge.
But halfway across, the clown noticed a car was approaching in the opposite direction.
Whoops.
The clown had to reverse.
OK, OK. I was the clown.
Maybe his nickname should be “Coach Monk”. Sans the O.C.D.
“It’s a jungle out there…”
I can already hear the “Monk” theme music playing in the background as Coach Coolen is seen sweeping the grounds before a game… 😆
I’m watching Love in the Age of Cholera.
It’s about a guy who decides to wait 50 years to win back the woman he lost. He figures, better chance when she’s old.
Sorta like that strategy I had when I was 14 and decided I could win over Kate Jackson when she was 80. I think I’ve got another 20 years to wait.
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
I hope everyone is staying warm and dry.
Not only are you speedracer, you are color blind as well…..
Kazz:
You should see Coolen’s office.
He has the bats all aligned.
Every picture is perfect.
You know who else is a neat freak? Cal Lee.
Cal Lee is Felix.
Ron Lee is Oscar.
Good morning everyone!
As Kekoa noted earlier this morning, it’s Mrs. d1島’s birthday…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS. D1SHIMA !!! 😎
Happy Birthday Mrs d1shima!!!
Condolences to the Ryan Ohana.
Before my time, but a former Warrior nonetheless.
Stretch:
You’ve seen my traffic abstract.
Although I am proud I beat two speeding cases in court.
There also was that one time I turned onto the Pali, a little fast, probably, and zipped past an officer standing beside his motorcycle. He waved for me to stop.
I channeled my inner Jason and tried to do the math:
How quickly can the officer stow his radar, jump on the cycle, and chase me down.
Hmmm. Carry the 3…
I decided to go for it.
I sped away, Got off on the Wylie exit, and disappeared into Liliha.
Kazz:
I keep forgetting that to most of our readers, when I mention the 1970s, I might as well be talking about the 1870s.
And when I say, disco, to many, it was like when I was a kid and somebody mentioned the Andrews Sisters.
midori has a monster truck?
why, no wonder she wears shades in the dark.
The only thing missing the the automated Purell Hand Sanitizer dispencer. The kind that is motion activated too so that you don’t have to touch anything.
Off topic… Our office just purchased two of these things yet the teller line on the first floor of our building doesn’t have one. I would think for those that handle all that cash would need hand sanitizers before paper-pushers like me.
Remember the movie American Graffiti?
When it was released, it actually depicted a time that was only 13 or 14 years earlier.
But back then, we thought it was so nostalgic.
Sort of like kids today watching a movie about Sir-Mix-A-Lot.
Al:
Actually, it’s “monster” relative to her size.
ST – okay, you are the champion. I am not that bad…
Next time you can come to my hideout and bring your MacBook… 😀
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO “MRS. D1”!
I trust Mistah D1 is at home with you pampering to all your needs! 😉
*ahem* RE post #33: typo – “dispenser”
oh, i get it. she drives a chevy s-10.
mrs. d1 well happy birthday to you!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl-o5LsYtKU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaJdkanT2ek
so what does that make one who recalls both the andrew sisters and disco?
Kekoa, much green beverages being consumed right now. Definite EIS in progress
Happy birthday Mrs.D!
Poor Tadd – so far 5 boogies and one birdie with three holes to go!
OTH he will make some $$ which is better than nothing.
so this year we’ll have as many kapolei hurricanes on our roster as any other high school. awesome.
tim brown looks like one player for sure. he probably fell through the cracks. lucky for us. plus, that is a football player’s name.

And to think that you’re my role model. How do you think this kind of info affects young, impressionable readers like we Tsaikos?
BTW, There IS a flash flood warning for the isalnd of O’ahu. If you’re home, stay there.
Keep dry errbody!
Al:
I’m usually reluctant to mention walk-ons at this time because they’re still free agents.
But he’s been accepted to UH, so I guess it’s OK.
Plus, he said: “I’m going to play here.”
Happy Birfday mrs. d1!
BTW, here is what I consider to be Mrs. d1’s signature karaoke songs… only thing is I think she sounds better…

…also another example of the many great sounding Tsaikettes who mostly sit shyly in the background at Karaoke Calls. That’s why I’m instigating a “Tsaikette-only” Karaoke Call… no guys…not even me…except for ST and only if Wena brings him. 🙂
Happy 21st Birthday Mrs d1!
How come Samantha Sang (post No. 49) sounds exactly like the BeeGees. Was that a Milli Vanilli deal?
jason…an early happy birthday present for you…………
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY57jGNCN8Q&feature=related
kekoa, crw,
that was not me. i don’t usually go to games after UH is done.
that was a good idea though. although there’s better things to spend $100 on. that would’ve been funny to watch though.
should be interesting tonight when UNR plays USU. i wonder what those 2 mascots will do.
i don’t like either team, but i like mark fox the least. at least stew morrill has class. so go USU.
My experience at Irish Pubs in Hawaii has been hit or miss.
HIT: Irish Rose Salon.
Why: Well nothing outstanding, just a mellow place. Not bad at all. Parking, as with all of Waikiki is horrible though.
HIT: Murphy’s
Why: Witnessed two wonderful UH football road victories there (at Nevada 2007 and at Fresno State 2008). Don Murphy is the man. Surrounded by UH fanatics.
MISS: O’Tooles (next door to Murphy’s)
Why: For a place that advertises they show UH games, I have never had the displeasure of being around the LARGEST amount of non/anti-UH fans there. I separated from the Tsaiko bunch during the Nevada game in 07 for about two quarters to find my friends sitting in O’Tooles because there were no seats available inside or outside of Murphy’s. I SWEAR the “people” there gave off the “I don’t care who UH is playing but I’ll cheer for them anyway”. Not to mention, some Caucasian folks yelled “sit down brownies!” at us as we cheered for a UH TD. Luckily my Samoan friend was not in attendance that night… The douches in question were sporting various BCS school shirts and not one Nevada one either.
…AND not to mention the “tongue-in-cheek” commercial for O’Tooles they’ve been playing on K-5 that is just borderline offensive to me. The commercial shows three people (two men and one woman) introducing themselves to each other. They are all from the mainland. Then a local guy (horrible and outlandish stereotype) joins in and says “Dis Kimo from Waianae, dey get good pupus ova hea?” Then the three mainlanders look at him like they are about to kick his face in. The commercial ends with ‘for a different taste of Oahu”.
To me, I say, their (O’Tooles) taste of Oahu tastes like S**T.
This is one establishment I wouldn’t mind seeing burned to the ground one day. Not to mention they violate the “No Smoking” rule. Now, I AM A SMOKER. Do I miss smoking indoors at bars? Sure. Does the rule bother me? No. But there is something about their blatant and arrogant attitude towards certain things just pisses me off. Not to mention the amount of jerks that place attracts on a usual basis.
BTW the owner of O’Tooles is the same owner of Kelly O’Neals. So I am sure I will avoid that place too if they share the same “taste of Oahu”.
(Ok, that is my rant for the day.)
Ever notice they announce flash-flood warnings at the worst times?
A man waits 50 years for a woman, they gaze into each other’s eyes and … (BLARE) A flashflood warning has been issued … tune into your hotel television’s …”
Hotel television?
If I’m in a hotel, and see the message, doesn’t that mean I’m watching TV?
i might want to attend that kk.
I think Kazz needs a beer.
Fast.
Chawan,
Yup the WAC tourney is pretty much dead to me too. Is Fresno State still in? I hope not.
I’ve never been to O’Toole’s.
But I did like Annette O’Toole.
I wonder when she turns 80.
st…i hate it when at 2 in the morning that BLARE comes on. makes you jump up to the ceiling nearly giving you heart failure.
worst part it wakes the boss up who then shouts out, “go to sleep you stupid!!”
of course i yell back, “he left already”
Annette O’Toole:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UkqTSvowGw&NR=1
so may i surmise to say that shane austin will be getting the last scholie we had available?
or is his the result of additional graduates?
speaking about walkon’s, without mentioning names of course………that other lber who’s initials are the same as my moniker who’s teammate will be arriving in may from that school where the hip surgery qb came from is gonna make an appearance in august, too?
Honestly. Technically I don’t drink. At the tailgates. I can make two or three beers last for 4-5 hours. Inside the stadium I don’t buy beer because it’s expensive and UH doesn’t get a cut of the concessions at Aloha Stadium anyway.
This year on campus, I went to 13 basketball games, 5 men volleyball games, and one Wahine basketball game. Collectively I bought two beers COMBINED.
Beer just doesn’t do it for me. I don’t know how most people can drink like a fish and not feel bloated.
Hard liquor is where the fun is at, but even this I will probably stop after 3 or four stiff drinks.
Maybe it’s because I did the majority of my heavy drinking when I was 19. Back then 5 straight shots of Bacardi 151 was just the start of things.
I think some of my friends are the cause of this. I see them get drunk and act like they are 5 and I say to myself, “yeah, I’m done.”
st…..24 years from now.
hmmm, i think i fell for her 32 years ago. how lucky was robbie benson i thought.
Hau’oli La Hanau, Juliet!!! Your hubby can sing!
Great to see another Hawai’i player coming home to UH.
kazz,
fresno lost to usu.
men’s final:
usu vs unr
women’s final
fresno vs unr
i think we need that neutral site.
UH softball tournament games canceled because of rain.
DAMN! 👿
Ok everybody… stay home until the BaseBOWS take the field tonight. Hopefully everything clears up by tonight.
Well, Tadd still has one more day to move back up the leaderboard.
Ironically enough, there was a news report mentioning Tadd was in a tight group of contenders including Charles Howell III and Rocco Mediate, who were also T12 at the end of Day 2. Well, they didn’t have a great day either (Rocco was 3-over for the day, Howell was _5_ over).
Tadd’s definitely making the grade in the PGA. Btw, does he have plans for college?
Chawan,
I think we need the WAC basketball tournaments in Hawaii.
Who-weeeeeee!!, o.k., o.k., what happened here????..I was trying to catch up on reading the past blogs and fell asleep…o.k., den…off to take a nap now.
hats off to tadd!
he has been fighting all his life.
what with the recent stuff happening at the home front, this kid keeps fighting through the adversity.
gotta love um.
Speaking of… Why does softball have an all dirt infield? Part of the game? Nostalgia? Cost of turf? Not just at UH but everywhere across the country (I think?).
I don’t think I have ever seen a softball game played on a field where the field is “mapped out” like a baseball field (i.e. dirt at the mound, homeplate, and the bases and grass or turf everywhere else)?
OH JUST GREAT!!!!
When they announce the cancelled all the softball games, they cancel the flash flood advisory for Oahu and I peeked outside the office window and it actually looks like it is clearing up in Honolulu.
I don’t suppose they can cancel the cancellation? 🙂
Kazz, I’ve actually been meaning to thank you for raising this issue. I usually have my computer and television on at the same time (for the ultimate in sensory overload) so I never really paid attention to that commercial until you posted about it last year.
Now that I’ve actually watched it, I will say that that commercial is out and out bigoted, racist and anti-“local people” and I will NEVER patronize that place EVER! When that commercial comes on nowadays, I get so pissed sometimes that I actually have to change the channel. Seriously, judging from that commercial — the owner of that place is a serious bigot.
kazz,
you know that’ll never happen
(throws a shaka to WarriorMojo) dey u go.
WMojo,
I did rant about that place at the WSN misc forum and I’ve been on a rollercoaster about it as the commercial keeps airing on K-5 nonetheless.
At first I was mad, then calmed down and gave the makers or the commercial and the establishment’s owner/marketing VP the benefit of the doubt, now I am back to just mad and irritated again.
I tell ya, for anyone that is ‘local” just try walk into that place and be yourself and see what happens.
Eh, if can, can. If can, WE STAY HOME! 😆
RE: Tsaikette-only Karaoke Call
I am only trying to instigate… the actual planning and organization of such an event should come from a Tsaikette. IMO, the natural leader/organizer for this would be Mrs. Bulla. Abetted by LizKauai, Mei Ling, Diana, Mrs. d1 and Wena.

Momo, regarding things to do in Sydney.
I would highly recommend the Sydney Harbor cruise. I think it was called the “Coffe Cruise” or something like that. Very relaxing ride past the main sites like the Opera House, famous Sydney Beaches, million dollar waterfront residences, and on to the headlands adjacent to the open ocean.
Another thing I highly recommend is the short boat taxi ride to the Tangoran Zoo, which is located on a hillside across from the city center so as you come across the water, you can see the exhibits lined up across the hillside. Very impressive zoo and the easiest way to see native Australian fauna. Then, the view back towards Sydney is a great photo op.
Darling Harbor is a huge entertainment/shopping area, kind of like the wharf area in San Francisco, but MORE. The are also some interesting shops in the area called The Rocks, which is where the first Europeans settled, and around the Opera House area.
Also, I remember being very impressed by the display of live 25+ feet salt water crocodiles, but I can’t remember if that was at the Tangoran zoo or a separate aquarium. Sorry.
One thing I planned to do, but couldn’t because I had to cut my trip short is to take a plane to Alice Springs to see Uluru (Ayer’s Rock). This is not a short trip because of the distance. I think the flight alone will take 3 hours or more. (Australia is roughly the size of the US mainland so going from Sydney to Alice Springs is like flying from Florida to Denver). That is a significant use of time and money, but you will see one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World and when else will you be back in Sydney.
I also wanted to take a tour to Lightning Ridge to see the opal mine, but I think that was mostly because the name Lightning Ridge is so evocative.
Remember to save a few aussie dollars for the departure tax that you have to pay at the airport.
Good morning Tsai-kos!!
Hope you are all staying dry. Looks like it has stopped raining in Kailua for now. We got pounded last night and this morning and I’m on the dry side. ST and the A-houses must have new swimming pools in their yards.
Happy birthday to Mrs D1!!
I meant to say “If NO can, we STAY HOME”…
Man, I am “off” today…
wm…..wow, now you got me thinking about aussie land. if i were younger i’d like to take a dip and a dive into the great barrier reef.
September 18 Programming Note: It is certain there will be a Tsai-ko gathering on Friday, Sept. 18 from around 6:00 PM. This Friday night gathering is to provide Tsai-kos from Hawaii and the mainland (international too) an opportunity to meet in person. Part of the program will be small group introductions.
las vegas is still working on where… “where” determines food options and facility costs. The number of expected attendees usually determines the “where”. Please RSVP soonest.
It is apparent that not all Tsai-kos would tailgate together on game Saturday. We have UH Alumni Association tailgate, SportsHawaii tailgate, Boyd tailgate, our tailgate, hotel and travel agency tailgates, etc.. SO, the Friday night gathering is planned for everyone who makes it to Vegas in time….

As kids my friend sang that song in class using all our names. The teacher was having a good laugh until it came to Chuck’s name.
The entire class lost it!
Happy Birthday Mrs. d1shima!
WarriorMojo,
After your advice on Australia, I’m even more jealous that I can’t go on that trip! I guess it is a sign of the economic times that Hawaiian Airlines has so many open seats to/from Australia during Spring Break so Momo, Mrs. Momo, and my sister’s family can all fly to Australia standby for free. They will be traveling with my sister’s 3 kids, ranging from 9 to 2 years old, so that might limit what they can do.
Warrior fans appreciate how tough Colt is, as he took such a pounding and kept his high level of play. I’m hoping that Washington fans get to see him play this year during the regular season, as I’m sure he’ll do really well in the preseason.
It is crazy that Texas now has 20 commits, with 16 of them 4 or 5 star players. Last year Ohio State had 14 recruits on the Rivals top 250 list, the most from any school…and Texas already has 16 on that list and are among the finalists for a few other top recruits.
I thought I was finally going to have some blog time to look up the past UH players as requested…but my kids just woke up.
parents of ha employees pay a nominal fee for sydney flts. $58.11 oneway. employees and spouse $15.01 oneway.
aahhh, so the true instigator comes clean
stretch….stevem is only a level 1 instigator. he has a long way to go to reach your’s and whitey’s level 9 instigator status.
al – if I am a 9, what is homey and JJ?? they must be off the charts!!
Herman Frazier University is headed off to the Big Dance. How unfortunate.
…..nothing against their athletes, just HF himself.
Adding to WARRIORMOJO, the trip to Tangoran Zoo, the ferry drops you off on the bottom of the hill. You could hike up or catch the venicular which gives you a nice view – sort of like the ride at the San Diego Zoo.
Just back from HiHo…
Mrs. d1島 is very appreciative of all the well-wishes! 🙂
is that what you call it?? BigC calls it sari-sari.
Stretch,
At least it’s not “Ho Ho!” 😯
chinese friends refer to it as harm ha.
and of course the yobo frens call it kochujang (sp?)
d1….hiho. ummm. well er, never mind. i better not make another comment.
Happy bifday to Mrs d1 and many more to come.
jm2375: with all the rain last week and last night, our little pond grew into a mini-lake that grew into one huge lake – yikes!!! again, my tiny “dry water fall” was in full bloom – just like the Wailuku River in Hilo.
Kekoa: the little bridge was unda wata – no can pass!!
Happy Birthday Juliet!!
Happy Birthday to “Macho” Libre and “Ice” Man!!
Happy birthday Juliet!
It’s gochujang, but I don’t think that’s what you guys are talking about. Gochujang is chili pepper paste.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gochujang
A-Joe – Yo, I think that you forgot to mention about a certain coach whose gait you were admiring from afar.
Props to the grounds crew! They spent about 20 minutes getting home dry enough to resume the game and the remainder of the game took all of like five minutes…if that. Thanks to the fielding of LMU for the win!
Back to A-Joe – Ernie, Jordan and Ollie sure aren’t going to forget you!!
ST – Thanks for the laughs…the clown on the bridge, classic! And then the sequel…Smokey and the clown on the Pali! BTW…while you were drooling over Annette O’Toole I was a young teenager falling in love with Robby Benson. Man those were the days!
I love the new MLB channel.
They also have the “Viagra update.”
Al:
Austin and Tuika Tufaga’s scholarships don’t count against the 25 initials.
Lopsided the WAC Championship Game. Hopefully nobody’s taping this.
CRW:
It’s amazing the difference in speed between the WAC and Big East title games.
ST: Yep
Halftime in the WAC game. The game’s closer now. Just waiting for the baseball game in ~90 minutes.
i think the refs are influencing this wac championship again.
utah state needs to play their game and not run with nevada.
there’s TONS of USU fans here. they said there’s no school this week for some reason and they all drove over.
Warrior Mojo and Tom
Thank you for sharing what to do on our trip. We will be there for a week so we have time to see what you suggested…I can’t wait for the trip to start. Atleast we have some ideas and I am sure we will be doing more…Thanks Any more? Parent cost is 150/per/employee 75. It is a good break and at spring break….
Have been to Tahiti for a week with the Paddling team from Kaneohe and stayed at the VP.’s house and it was a grand trip with guided tours and parties hosted by the host .

A very Happy Birthday to Juliet!!!

I am now in the 12th hour of EIS. I don’t know how but I’m still upright
I have the urge to go bowling. Wii night…
Ah…this blog makes me laugh sometimes.
I don’t know who Annette O….whatever her name is but…..
Steve was in love with Yvonne Craig from Batman times. She was Batgirl. And much later in life…he somehow had a email from her. He was so excited. He came to me and with excitement in his voice…he told me all about it. But that’s kinda gross… now she is 72 years old and Steve is younger than 50.
Wena – Now I know how gigi’s hubby feels.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIET
djmitcho – is this in honor of Pi Day or an early St Patrick’s Day celebration?
Once a statistician, always a statistician.
Happy birthday Mrs. d1!!! Whoo-hoo!!!

Just returned from an investigative dinner at the recommended casino restaurant for the WSU game. Both Izzy and I recommend this place for the post-game celebratory dinner — if the game is early in the afternoon.
Will send you some information in a few days after I recover. The drive back was brutal — about six hours round-trip with dinner and looking around the place. The rain and fog did not help the drive at all.
Looking forward to the drive in September when the weather will actually be nice!!!
jm####,
The sons of St. Patrick parade is always on the Saturday before the actual St. Patrick’s day here in Spokane. It’s a big celebration all day long. Spokane has a large potion of its population that is of Irish decent.
Forecast is for more snow tomorrow night into Monday morning at 500’+. That means at the 200′ level where I am we will probably see no accumulations. Yay!!!
Hi dj!
Are you flying or driving over the WSU game?
I’m now pau with my yearly EIS on this day. Time to go sleep
Wafan,
Probably drive over. Get there Wednesday or Thursday to see some friends
Mr. Tsai . . .
Please. Please do not lump Colt with the scuz-bucket A-hole. They might have had similar injuries but Colt dealt with it and did not cry about it. unlike the lying fool in pin-stripes.
Sorry. I just really cannot stand A-hole.
Hey, some of us are Yankee fans here. (Although, I don’t care for A-Rod, either. Nor do I approve of our big spending.) 😀
Jason . . .
Ever since we got A-hole there has not been much that has gone right for the pin-stripes. I say get rid of him. His attitude is stinking up the club house.
WENA:
Has your preschool gotten off the ground yet?
MOMO: Forgot to mention that Sydney has two hop-on/hop off bus system that takes you around all the tourist hot-spot. The turn around point is very close to Chinatown (cheap, comparatively). The other bus route takes you out to the “countryside” including Bondi beach. You can pickup the bus more or less in front of Sydney Harbor (sort of shaped like the letter “U”) and the bus terminal would be more or less at the bottom of the “U”. Get one of those tourist bus passes which lets you ride for a time-certain (24/48 hours or three days). The terminal also is the place where you can board for tours of the harbor, ferries to various points, including the zoo, aquarium. There is also a railroad station there which can take you to the airport. Comparatively easy walk around the “U” the right leading you straight to the Opera House and the left to the bridge where you can walk to the top.
Relatively Silent Night.
Where are the bio’s?
We need a Tino Martinez and a Paul O’Neill. They just don’t make ballplayers like they used to.
Jason ~ Are you at home?…Was the outing canceled by that Monster Truck driver?

Researchers have found that the fear response in people can be permanently reduced by using the beta-blocker propranolol, which could mean that anxiety disorders and phobias could be cured! For example, people who have a fear of spiders can have that fear eliminated via propranolol.
Babies who gesture more end up learning words sooner, and later in life they have better vocabularies than babies who gesture less.
This 68-year-old woman has been married *23* times and is looking for her 24th husband.
US teens who have a cell phone average 2,272 text messages per month and 203 phone calls per month, with all the texting leading to concerns over a decrease in focus and a decline of face-to-face conversations.
Study calls into question the reliability of witnesses, as simple psychological techniques were found to be able to create false memories in people in a wide variety of circumstances. For example, 85% of soldiers could not identify the correct person who interrogated them and instead were tricked into accusing someone who wasn’t even around them during the interrogation.

Regarding the discussion about education for the past few days, I was surprised to read that a San Diego middle school is offering AP Spanish to their 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students who are native Spanish speakers who speak Spanish at home. They are doing this to give the students confidence…but is it really teaching them anything?
Al,
I know there is a small fee to fly for airline employees and their kids and parents…but that basically seems like free to me when compared to the other fares. I wish siblings could get that deal!
garret….if you are nice to your sister she can get your whole family aboard on her FTP passenger list commonly known as “buddy passes”.
Garret – #158 – in my limited personal experiences, a lot of those who either immigrated to the US as children or were born here but speak another language at home do NOT have the reading/writing skills in that language. So, if the AP classes are teaching reading/writing skills, then they should go for it.
Kekoa: Nothing got cancelled, I was just on my iPod touch on my way home.
Researchers have found that the fear response in people can be permanently reduced by using the beta-blocker propranolol, which could mean that anxiety disorders and phobias could be cured! For example, people who have a fear of spiders can have that fear eliminated via propranolol.
When I first started having problems with my anxiety levels, my doctor prescribed atenolol, which is a related beta blocker. It worked in getting my heart rate down from an always anxious 90-100 to a normal 60-65, but it didn’t stop the self-scanning (where you’re always checking your pulse, checking your breathing, self-gauging your BP, etc.), which can help fuel the flight-or-fight response that causes the anxiety. Of course, the atenolol helped negate the effects of the adrenaline, so I didn’t really feel the continued cycle, but it didn’t stop the cycle at all. So all the atenolol did was mask the symptoms, not stop the underlying problem.
Not to mention, I had some bad side effects and had to stop using it after a couple days. My cousin and his fiancée were visiting at the time, and we were at the PCC playing tourist when I had a bad case of dizziness. Had to rest in the first aid room the rest of the day with my Mom, while my cousin and his fiancée enjoyed the festivities. Although I did go to the dinner buffet, but I wasn’t very hungry.
The folks at the PCC were so nice, they knew we had paid for the Ambassador Lū‘au package, but when I got sick, my Mom and I didn’t do much but hang in the First Aid room. So because we missed the Horizons show, they gave us a free DVD copy of it! I really like that show (we had gone once before), so I was ready to treasure that thing — then my Mom gave it to my cousin to give to my aunt. That reminds me, my Mom promised me she’d buy me a copy of that DVD … 😀
But back to the article. I see where there could be some valid use of these types of drugs to treat anxiety. But it sounds more like a treatment for phobias and PTSD than general anxiety or panic disorder. I mean, you could try initiating an anxiety/stress trigger (say, someone yells at you), and try the drug treatment based on that. My question would be, does the treatment just help with the reaction to the trigger, or any stress in general? Does the cure for my fear of spiders also cure my fear of heights, or my hypochondria? Will it help balance levels of stress hormones, and calm my autonomic nervous system down? I’m not convinced yet.
Happy Birthday, Mrs. D1!
ST, the movie you watched…Love in the time of Cholera, I didn’t think I’d like the movie, but it was pretty good afterall 🙂
Have a good evening all!
Fun game at the ball park. Going ahead, than losing the lead and going ahead again made it a real delight to watch , modre so because we won.
thanks all for the tips and suggestion for our trip…It is going to be a lot of fun…..
Congrats to the baseball team on their 6th win in a row!!
Good night all. See ya tomorrow.
UH has a lot of young pitchers so the future looks bright if they remain patient and stick around..who is red shirting..not to many innings available to them…hope we don’t start hearing about sore arms like last year..
Solid win by the BaseBOWS tonight!
Too bad for Landon Hernandez as he would of had TWO homers instead of one off a shoddy “foul ball” call.
Good to see Kevin MacDonald’s hitting improving with each passing game.
A big welcome to Easton Torigoe to the batting rotation tonight! Jeff Van Dornum and Christian Johnson will have to work extra hard to earn Coach Trap’s trust back.
Oh and what was the deal with Coach Komeji calling Wong into home on that one play that could of got us a two run lead instead of just sitting on a one run lead.

You are truly the Juliet to our Romeo島!!! 😆 😯 😀
God bless you that you can get recovery very soon from the hip surgery.
After reading this article, I feel that I need more information on the topic. Could you suggest some resources ?
