Thursday mutterings

Some leftover notes from yesterday’s practice:

• Barring unforeseen circumstances, John Hardy-Tuliau and Tank Hopkins will exit spring practice as the No. 1 cornerbacks. Kawika Ornellas, who’s still a walk-on, has been a solid third corner. Mike Edwards gets added to the mix for training camp in August. Dee Maggitt has played well, and moved “into the conversation,” as they say.

• Steve Christian, a former cornerback has been making the adjustment to safety. It should get interesting in the fall, when Brandon Leslie joins, and Jordan Gomes and Bubba Poueu-Luna are fully healed.

• Expect limited contact for Saturday’s scrimmage in Hilo. The Warriors have been practicing with only seven healthy linebackers — George Daily-Lyles, Aaron Brown, Art Laurel, Darryl McBride, Jordan Monico, T.J. Taimatuia and Aulola Tonga.

• Hilo residents Jordan Loeffler (left knee) and Hogan Rosehill (stinger) are back. But defensive end Marcus Malepeai has a sprained ankle. Malepeai hopes to make the Hilo trip.

• Running back Will Gregory of Dominguez High has met UH’s entry requirements. He arrives in June.


• Wideout Cecil Doe, who started training camp on the left side, is now practicing at right wideout. Also on that side is Terence Bell, who was a No. 1 slotback for the first two spring practices.

• It appears the quarterback depth chart goes like this: 1) Bryant Moniz. 2) Shane Austin. 3) David Graves. 4) Cayman Shutter.

In the beginning, UH created the sports information department to provide stats, set up interviews, and drum up interest in its athletic programs. That department morphed into media relations, which basically meant providing stats, setting up interviews and drumming up interest.

But times have changed. There’s one daily newspaper on Oahu covering UH sports, and television newscasts, down from four to three, often are content to share interviews. With the growth of social networks, UH is now going with the 21st century’s equivalent of direct mail: Its version of information and promotions being sent directly to the consumer, which is no longer primarily the media. The athletic department’s Web site, once as cluttered as a race car’s exterior, is used for providing stats, archives of stats, and various announcements. Now UH is going further, providing its own video features. The message is this: Why go to a messenger when you can be your own messenger? That theme will be expanded when UH starts its own cable channel this fall. It should be interesting to see the program schedule.

    Wow, this is a first.

    By the way, for those coming to Hilo, I forgot to mention two eating places that are surely due for some BIK recognition — The first — Ling’s chop suey in the PUainako Center. Now I don’t really like suggesting Chinese eating places to folks from Oahu because everybody knows that some of the greatest chinese food joints in the state is on Oahu. This place (Lings) is more for the folks seeking Belly Buster proportions– enough on the plate to feed 3! The best thing about Lings that they also got Filipino food daily. Adobo, Igado, and on some days — Dinaguan – that good ‘ol chocolate meat.

    THe second, – MAONA Lunch counter. Chef Dave hooks it up!!! Located in the building right next to the downtown farmer’s market. Ruben’s MExican food is right next door. To access Maona, you need to go through a little hallway that houses the ice cream/shave ice shop near the farmer’s market. Whether you like one good Mahi or steak plate — OR Dave’s amazing burgers (best in Hilo!), you will not be disappointed. Some days, you can even get one fried fish plate, reef fish too! –Kole, aholehole included. Whatever the fishermen caught the day before. Whenever I go to Maona, I stick to the old faithful — burgers.

    Hilo bound folks stay tuned — more info on the cattle call coming today!

    Mahalo, ST!


  6. Michigan Warrior April 7, 2011 7:22 am

    I’m glad fundamentals are always stressed these days. We need to make sure we wrap up and don’t give up too much second-effort yardage. Got some payback to deal out in next year’s schedule.

    Also, please work on the hurry-up riddle for our defense!

    Who was it we played that lined up their receivers often in the back field? Seems we knew something was coming up, but we still couldn’t stop the play. Was it Boise? I kinda like that wrinkle to throw off opposing defenses too.

    Anyways…

    Go, Warriors!

    Go, Wahine!

    Go, ‘Bows!


  7. Stephen Tsai April 7, 2011 7:30 am

    It used to be called the reverse. But with a tip to arena football, teams found that it’s a quicker play — and ploy — to send the receiver in motion for the fly sweep. UH has tried that a few times, most famously with Ryan Mouton. They also tried to run some reverses for Allen Sampson and Kealoha Pilares. But UH’s offense is designed to create mismatches: spreading the formation or overloading a side opens routes. Sometimes aligning a receiver in the backfield actually creates clutter. In basketball, and now football, better spacing is the key.

    With the scrimmage on the Big Island, it would have been nice if the Warriors had signed Peni Vea on letter of intent day. Too bad he decided to sign with Utah State.

  19. RedZone April 7, 2011 8:23 am

    I watched Texas’s spring game. I just wanted to see what they were be doing since the got the OC from Boise. It was weird seeing them run some Boise plays and that fly sweep. It looks like they will be trying to spread the field more and still run by over loading the POA.


  20. RedZone April 7, 2011 8:26 am

    Oh yeah they did not run the plays as efficiently as Boise and the players appeared confused at times. It made me think about a comment Rolo made on the radio a while back about the mental part of the game.


  21. BigWave96744 April 7, 2011 8:45 am

  22. papajoe2 April 7, 2011 8:57 am

    Didn’t Bob Nash try to get a Asian connection with Ji from China. He hardly had playing time during his UH career but I think he graduated early.


  23. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 9:15 am

    The last 3 UH basketball players who turned pro: (correct me if I am wrong)

    1998 – Anthony Carter

    2002 – Savovic

    2003 – Carl English

    Did anybody follow after Carl English in 2003?

  27. masteruke April 7, 2011 9:23 am

    hurry up the defense? More important to speed up the offense. All the teams that used a fast offense gave Hawaii the fits especially Tulsa and Boise. UH normally takes 20 to 22 seconds to get their plays off. Don’t the receivers run their patterns to what the defense

    gives them? And the QB then chooses his best option? So, now its the other teams that need to hurry up their defense.


  28. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 9:24 am

    Hilo-Warrior,

    have you ever skiied on that mountain after it snowed?


  29. Stephen Tsai April 7, 2011 9:30 am

    Closest to smash-mouth runner would be Joey Iosefa.

    They ran the Oklahoma drill yesterday, and he came away with a sore thigh from the pounding he took. In his defense, they weren’t running a lot of full-contact stuff previously.


  30. papajoe2 April 7, 2011 9:30 am

    Isn’t Julian Sensley playing professional somewhere?


  31. Stephen Tsai April 7, 2011 9:33 am

    Too bad Pookela Ahmad wasted a year on one special-team play in 2007. Now he’s done. He could have been helpful.

    That’s the lesson of patience. If you’re not going to be a full contributor as a freshman, it’s better to take the redshirt year.


  32. Stephen Tsai April 7, 2011 9:34 am

    True, the hurry-up offenses gave UH’s defenses problems last year. But that’a s defensive dilemma. UH’s offense is still one of the most productive in the country.


  33. Hilo-Warrior April 7, 2011 9:37 am

    @ gigi-hawaii – No I haven’t skied but me and some buddies would take body boards junk surf boards and their kids would use plastic trash can lids. Its not safe to ski up there. To many rocks people have died before doing that up there.


  34. kawika49 April 7, 2011 9:41 am

    Need knee pads, elbow pads etc. Lots rocks under them thar snow. Boogie boards, sled if you gotem are best.


  35. Michigan Warrior April 7, 2011 9:41 am

    Can’t always go fo’ broke on offense, as much as we’d like to match hurry-up with hurry-up. Our receivers run so many routes, it would not be effective if they weren’t at full throttle on every play. Just wandering down field through their routes isn’t productive or effective.

    The one glaring problem we had was when other teams ran hurry-up on our defense. As long as we can get key stops and not give up big plays, and substitute effectively, we have a chance. That needs to be solved. Easier said than done, especially since the other team’s coaches and offense is trying to keep us off balance and gassed.


  36. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 9:42 am

    ST,

    why do they call it the OKLAHOMA DRILL? Is this something new or is it inherited from JJ’s days here?


  37. Michigan Warrior April 7, 2011 9:43 am

    Come to think of it, maybe their receivers weren’t exactly in the back field. Maybe it was from the slot position, then running those sweeps, reverses and delayed screens. All I know is, we’d often get lost in the play and give up seemingly easy first downs… often on a third-and-long.

  39. Michigan Warrior April 7, 2011 9:47 am

    With our offense, as long as we got the time, we can move. When defenses can break through, it becomes a mental game, and we lose our poise and start panicking. I mean, I’d panic too if I had some huge dudes barreling down on me, intent on snapping me in two. Run away! Run away!


  40. Michigan Warrior April 7, 2011 9:48 am

    But, I’m liking what I’m seeing and hearing from our O-Line so far. And it’s still early in the year!


  41. ai-eee-soos April 7, 2011 9:50 am

    … that’s GREAT news …

    ” … • Running back Will Gregory of Dominguez High has met UH’s entry requirements. He arrives in June. …”


  42. Michigan Warrior April 7, 2011 9:50 am

    Early last season, we thought our defense would be our strength, and our O-Line was the question mark. But it started out the opposite way. At this point, I’m more comfortable with our O-Line, while wondering about our defense. Can’t wait to get more guys back from injury and what not.


  43. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 9:50 am

    kawika,

    terrific vid. thanks


  44. Stephen Tsai April 7, 2011 9:52 am

    The defense (rightfully) argued that there should have been a linebacker in the Oklahoma drill. There were two defenders, two “blockers” and a running back.


  45. Stephen Tsai April 7, 2011 9:54 am

    I like the spacing of practice in the spring.


  46. Stephen Tsai April 7, 2011 9:56 am

    Michigan Warrior:

    A lot of the work is going to be out of sight. The young d-ends need to put on some weight.

    Sampson is going to need to gain more strength.

    What happens during the offseason is going to go a long way to the team’s success.


  47. Michigan Warrior April 7, 2011 10:02 am

    Definitely, ST… and I too am loving this Spaced Out Spring. Seems to create more teaching time for the coaches to get their methods across. I’m lovin’ it!

  54. Kazz April 7, 2011 10:40 am

    papajoe2,

    Julian Sensley was a sentimental fav of mine. Only problem with the guy was too often it seemed like he’d choose when to turn on the “GAME ON” switch.

    Nice humble guy in person.

    I do believe he is making a decent living playing ball in Europe.

    Last time I saw him he was playing in the Manoa summer league two years ago and me and some peeps got to see him go 1-1 with Bill Amis. Was an EPIC contest as it went to TWO overtimes. In dramatic, almost scripted fashion, Amis was guarding Sensley right at the arch. With Sensley’s team down by two points in the dying seconds, it came down to these two modern day Rainbow Warrior mainstays. Sure enough Sensley backed up with Amis right in his face and drained the game winning 3-pt shot with less than a second remaining.


  55. d1shima April 7, 2011 10:41 am

    How come the QB’s never take it to the hole in Oklahoma’s? 😯 😆 😈


  56. Kazz April 7, 2011 10:43 am

    The problem I’ve been complaining about for years about K-5 is just the production quality. I can live without it being in HD, but the miscues with replays, the sporadic/consistent spots of dead air, the inability of the camera to follow the action, etc…


  57. Kazz April 7, 2011 10:44 am

    I’ve been watching UH sports in 3-D for years.

    Gotta pay parking though.


  58. madeinhawaii April 7, 2011 10:49 am

    I think Julian Sensley is playing for a team in Greece. He got traded early in 2010 from a team in Turkey to one in Greece.

    Carter & Savo completed their college eligibility. English put his name out in the draft after completing his junior year. None were drafted…but all three were given free agent tryouts. English didn’t make it, but Savo played a year at Denver and AC is still going strong as a reserve with the Nicks.

    All those guys on the list may have played pro basketball somewhere; but, only Nash (#1 pick Detroit), Henderson (#1 pick Atlanta), Barker, Ruffing, A.C. Carter, and SAVO made it to the NBA.

    Troy Ostler, Sensely, Nash, Jr. should be added to that list of PROs. Also, (I can’t remember his name), but there was a part Filipino guard/forward who graduated with Bobby Nash who played pro ball in the Philippines, and a guard ( senior moment but I should remember his name but?) who also played with Bobby who played or is still playing pro ball somewhere in South America or Australia.

    I’m sure that list would probably be more if someone finds the time to do a complete research, i.e. pro leagues in Europe, South America and Australia.

    origin name of Oklahoma drill is named from the 50’s defense used by Bud Wilkenson while he was head coach at Oklahoma. He won 3 consecutive national titles. He some what revolutionized the use of the 5-2 base defense. Many many variations can be adjusted to it.


  84. Alverta Kundla April 7, 2011 12:39 pm

    You are someone who cares .

    Therefore, we have a patent pending method that will help you do a better job and have happier worshippers.

    First, this is NOT some get rich quick scheme!!

    Ready-For-You allows you to communicate with your flock by text message.

    For example it would allow you to notify a parent in a worship service to return to the nursery to pick up a child.

    It is similar to the vibrating devices used in restaurants but the range is the range of the person’s smart phone…

    In other words almost everywhere! Perhaps you would like to inexpensively develop your own data base.

    Ready-For-You automatically builds a data base for the place of worship that can be used over and over to inform the congregation of significant upcoming news.

    Just go to http://www.ready-for-you.com and find out how you can begin to use our patent pending method! We have a COMPLETE support staff to help you. You can find support at http://www.ready-for-you.biz/contact-us

    We look forward to hearing from you.

  94. papajoe2 April 7, 2011 12:51 pm

    Kazz, actually it doesn’t matter where he was born. I think Hawaii is the best place in the world. I just hope he took something away with him while living here and not just basketball (and tatoos, lol). Must be he really likes it here as he did come back to play and got that tatoo. I support ALL local athletes and those who came from elsewhere to play here. I still hope he makes it to the NBA but it seems like time may be running out on him. Just thought that interview was strange and hope I didn’t offend anyone.

  98. Kazz April 7, 2011 1:14 pm

    I think it’s more of an achievement when these mainland kids come to Hawaii and adapt to everything about this place and embrace it full on.

    The Colt Brennan deal was well-documented and that’s what really helped his popularity was his ability to really embrace Hawaii, from the local lingo, to the local food, and just how he carried himself.

    What is NOT well-documented is how many other UH student-athletes from the mainland or other countries outside the US also have done the same. Without singling out any student-athlete, I learned of at least three more mainland born student-athletes that plan on making Hawaii their home after graduation and many more that have embraced our ways.

    Some may think there is nothing to all of this, but too often they themselves take our local style for granted and it’s nice to see others coming from other places really appreciating what Hawaii has to offer in so many ways.

    What a player he was. Always fun to watch him.


  103. Kazz April 7, 2011 1:21 pm

    So… I hear there is something BIG potentially occurring tomorrow.

  104. madeinhawaii April 7, 2011 1:21 pm

    Depends… real custard or that imitation stuff they make these days?


  105. wafan April 7, 2011 1:22 pm

    Aside of the weather I t hink it is easier for Hawai’i born kids to adapt to life away from the islands than it is for others to adapt to Hawai’i. Two or more island kids makes for an instant family.

    The island culture shock is a big thing — language, customs, foods, etc. in addition to the weather and being surrounded by water. The kids who move to Hawai’i are definitely a special breed!


  106. Kazz April 7, 2011 1:23 pm

    Floods, hail in Hawaii, tsunamis, earthquakes, the Middle East is more insane than usual, threat of nuclear fallout, government shutdowns, and Rebecca Black.

    So are you thinking of joining Gib and the MBB team on his Far East tour? It sounds interesting.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    When I read the article this morning, I thought it would be a great trip! Now, if UH can raise enuff money for this trip to happen, better yet! Good excuse to update my passport and get some real Peking Duck!


  112. Stephen Tsai April 7, 2011 1:31 pm

    Savo was the greatest promoter.

    I remember he missed a couple of free throws to send the game into overtime. Then in overtime, he hits the winning free throws. Natural question is: Why in overtime and not regulation. He responds: “I am Savo.”

    The next game, he has friends hold up signs at the four corners of the arena that read: “I am Savo.”

    Johnny Mac? Are you listening?

    Floods — does every year up here, if you live on the flood plains . . . why?

    Hail — does that every year, too. Experienced hail in Palisades hana-bata days

    Tsunamis and earthquakes — wait until the BIG ONE hits the PNW — predictions of >10

    Middle East — need for oil

    Nuclear fallout — most will wash out by the time it reaches the West Coast and be diluted

    Government shutdown — Seems some folks want this to happen, more like a slow down

    Rebecca Black — Bwah-ha-ha-ha! She is a joke, right?

    While he doesn’t drink Dos Eqiues (sp?), Koakane is our most interesting blogger.

    He can speak French… in PIDGIN.

    He is the life of the party. Especially the ones he’s never attended.

    He once had an awkward moment, just to see what it felt like.

    Visited Guatamala (sp?) on a cruise recently. Took a tour outside of the dock to a city in the mountain by an active volcano. Plenty of Mayan people there. They are short by stature. By short I mean I would say the average height may be 5′ at best. Saw an older lady that must have been well under 4′ tall (could have been the one I saw in the Guiness book of records) with her daughter, about 4′ tall and grand daughter baby. My wife is 5′ and felt great. When we try to take a picture of them, they signal “no” and cover their face with their hands, palms facing out. I was told that they believe that you are taking away their spirits.

  137. Kazz April 7, 2011 1:58 pm

    Here’s a random thought.

    Since so many people complained about the lack of full stats at the new Aloha Stadium big screen, how about using those four projection screens at the Stanley for stats only since the NEW scoreboard will be those new/current ones MOST arenas have.

    Whether people realize it or not, the convenience of having numerous stats for the live audience to see is becoming a thing of the past and NOT something only UH is doing.

    Right now we have a smaller/BROKEN screen on the scoreboard, but TWO sections for the stats of both teams. Kills, blocks, etc for volleyball and points, fouls, etc for basketball. A friend went to an NBA game recently and NONE of these were available like the old scoreboards of yesterday and in our case at UH, today. Scoreboards in arenas across the country are FULL of ads a “ticker” bar meant to display graphics to excite the home crowd and feature a massive HD screen for maximum viewing capabilities.

    This is the trend and TOO often we complain about UH being behind. Soon we will be up to date with our scoreboard and are somewhat current with our scoreboard/big screen at Aloha Stadium, so what is the complaint now?

    The screen looks like CRAP in the Stanley and I’ll be glad when the new one comes in.


  138. Kekoa April 7, 2011 1:59 pm

  139. Kazz April 7, 2011 1:59 pm

    The fact that you asked “Why Yemen?”, proves my choice was a good one.


  140. wafan April 7, 2011 2:06 pm

    Kazz . . .

    One of your concerns is the Middle East. Not sure how seeking clarification proves a point.

    Unless your comment about Yemen was intended to misdirect, given your comment for a new SSN and ID.

    If that is the case i suggest you check AZ, TX or CA for reliable false SSN and IDs. HA!


  141. Curt April 7, 2011 2:10 pm

    Kazz,

    Yemen. It’s hot, dry, and probably dangerous. If you like the desert and water supply issues, Yemen could be for you.


  142. wafan April 7, 2011 2:10 pm

    Of coures, in AZ you might be harrassed simply because you do not “look” American — if those foiks get their way.

    Same thing in FL.

    And, your HI Certificate of Live Birth may be useless in the conservative states.

    Better watch out! You might be deported back to where you are from . . . Hawai’i.

Make sure you say hi to my brother and his family, as well my excellent nephew who is putting this together with the help of the Big Island Tsaikos.

    UH vs UNLV 2011

    Okay folks, now that spring is here and I’ve gotten through visiting the tax man, it’s time to start organizing for the game. My hat goes out to SteveM for compiling the preliminary ticket count, which is currently at 77. A few of you have emailed me with ticket requests. I’m not sure what happened to those emails. PLEASE email your ticket requests to SteveM so I can get an idea of how many tickets to get this year.

    As in past years, UNLV won’t sell tickets to the general public until season ticket holders get first crack. If I can’t somehow use my charm to get the tickets earlier, I will fly to Vegas the first day of ticket sales and see what kind of block I can get. Regardless, I should know how much the tickets will be prior to flying out there, and I will pass them along to you at cost. (Of course, an extra $1 or $2 to cover my travel costs is always appreciated, but not required.)

    Please email me at: stevem.hnl (at) gmail.com or any other email addy/means you might know.

    This is the 3rd time Rich2176 is generously doing this, so there is not much uncertainty or mystery involved here. Same with Rasu Begasu’s tailgate buffet and optional bus. Please provide any other info and tentative RSVP requests as listed at:

    http://home.roadrunner.com/~smurashi/tsai-kos/las2011.html

    I know some people who went straight to Rich the last 2 times did not atttend any Tsai-ko functions–so may be hesitant to contact me. No problem. Getting tickets from Rich does not require you attend Tsai-ko activities, although you are certainly invited. Similarly, just because you already have tickets doesn’t mean you can’t attend the Rasu Begasu activities… 🙂

    Kekoa sent me your phone # through email, but I can’t seem to retrieve it, & you’re not in the phone book that I can tell. I’ll bring 2 kinds of ho’i’o (warabi, pako) pupu for Saturday, if that’s OK. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday, if anybody wants a quick tour of the KS-H high school campus, I’ll be happy to oblige. Take care all….


  188. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 9:59 pm

    Where’s Derek?


  189. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 9:59 pm

    Nobody wants to talk about Warrior football?


  190. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:00 pm

    Ho-hum!!!


  191. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:04 pm

    It is just great that Tsaikos on the Big Island are pulling together to host a big party for the out of towners.

    Way to go, guys!


  192. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:07 pm

    Only thing is how will people know who Big Island Kurt is if they have never met him?

    BIK, I guess you need to have a big sign in front of you to alert people so they can get the address for the party.


  193. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:09 pm

    will there be a caravan so people won’t get lost?


  194. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:11 pm

    I’ve visited Hilo just twice — in 1980 during my honeymoon, and then in 1989 with our 2 kids.

    It’s probably changed since then.


  195. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:14 pm

    If I ever go back to Hilo, I’ll take a helicopter tour of the volcano. We did that when we were on Kauai — nice flight over Na Pali.


  196. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:17 pm

    2008 was the last year we visited a neighbor island.

    We visited Liz on Kauai. She treated us to delicious saimin at Hamura’s and then we participated in her golf tournament and installation as Rotary president.

    Very impressive.


  197. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:21 pm

    2007 was the year when we took Al’s advice and stayed at the Sheraton Poipu for a weekend.

    We even bought Modelo — again Al’s suggestion.

    And 2007 is the year we took the helicopter tour of Na Pali.

    Any other brilliant ideas, Al?


  198. al April 7, 2011 10:26 pm

    yup…two nights manalele bay, two nights koele lodge. sun, surf, swim, cocktails, horseback riding, golf, archery, skeet shooting, quiet of the beach and the mountains.

    weekend food fair at the town center. lots of local goodies.

    tell em ralph sent you. you may get a discount.


  199. al April 7, 2011 10:27 pm

    manele bay…sorry.


  200. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:28 pm

    why, is Ralph from Lanai?

    Actually, we did stay at the Manele Bay hotel back in the 1980s. Very luxurious!

    We visited Koele Lodge, too, but didn’t stay for dinner there.


  201. al April 7, 2011 10:29 pm

    actually gigi…in a month all the local hotels will be offering some kind of kama’aina specials. mark my words.

    the hotels are already feeling the crunch of the loss of the japanese market. job freezes, layoffs, minimum work hours, it’s happening and will get worse.


  202. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:30 pm

    There were no rental cars on Lanai in the 1980s. Still like that? We had to take the shuttle bus from Manele to Koele and back.


  203. al April 7, 2011 10:34 pm

    as a nation, japan will focus on rebuilding everything that they lost and make it better.

    a lot of folks will not be travelling anytime soon. they will help their families and fellow countrymen rebuild and recover first. it is japanese to do that.

    we, the state of hawaii, need to prepare for a major decline in tourism and the trickle down effects will be felt throughout the state. it will affect old ones, young ones, rich ones, poor ones.

    …brace yourself.


  204. Kekoa April 7, 2011 10:37 pm

    Gigi ~ No worry. If the Hilo folks have carefully read the blog over the past few days, they’ll find us. We can’t make it too easy, that’s no fun!


  205. al April 7, 2011 10:37 pm

    rental cars may be had. dollar rent a car, i believe. a lot of jeeps available. but, realisitically speaking where are you going to go to on lanai other than manele to koele and back.

    they even stop in the town center, the only other retail place on island.

    wait, unless you wish to visit the birthplace of ralph. i am sure i can help arrange that for you…i have connections.


  206. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:37 pm

    lol, Kekoa!


  207. al April 7, 2011 10:38 pm

    kekoa’s right. and all one has to do is follow the aroma of the food or ask anyone in town. they will know.


  208. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:39 pm

    That’s true about Lanai. It might be too laid back for my taste.


  209. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:40 pm

    If I stay at the Mauna Lani, will that be too long a trip to visit friends in Hilo and then return to Mauna Lani same day?


  210. al April 7, 2011 10:41 pm

    i enjoy the hilo town open markets. some of the best avocados can be found there. also, a lot of stuff you don’t see here in our open markets.

    rambutan, local avocados, mac nut in the shell, warabi, zenmai (fern shoots), anthuriums, et al.


  211. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:42 pm

    My Hilo friends gave me anthuriums from their yard when they visited me in Honolulu. The flowers lasted 2 weeks.


  212. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:44 pm

    I think that’s what d1Shima said — Mauna Lani? Isn’t that a resort on the Big Island?


  213. al April 7, 2011 10:46 pm

    hmmm. that’ll be nearly 75 miles or almost 2 hours one way.


  214. jm2375 April 7, 2011 10:49 pm

    gigi – #213 – Mauna Lani to Hilo is about 2.5 hrs one-way. Many places to stop along the way – Kawaihae, Waimea, Parker Ranch, side trip to Waipio Valley lookout, Honokaa, Hamakua Coast. Beautiful drive if the weather is good.


  215. Slugger April 7, 2011 10:50 pm

    Sounds like a fun day on Saturday in Hilo. Mahalo to DPK’s ohana for hosting the post-game par-tay at Anuenue o Panaewa. The guys are excited to go to Hilo…the FB players…besides da Tsaikos.

    I’m seeing a light show out there north of town.

    Night all!


  216. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:52 pm

    Too long a trip, then!

    OK, if I decide to stay in Hilo instead, which hotel do you recommend? Gotta be nice, though.


  217. SteveM April 7, 2011 10:53 pm

    gig- — take a cruise and spend a day in Hilo and Kona. Overnight Kahului and Lihue. See the lava enter the sea at night and see the Napali coast. Table clothes and cloth napkins every meal. Tons of gym equipment for hubby. No cooking or cleaning for a week,

    I think the exaggerated sensational reports of tsunami damage, radioactivity, dengue fever, and far east tourism drop might have contributed to cancellations and temporarily lowering fares this month.

    Want me to call hubby for you? 🙂


  218. Ralph April 7, 2011 10:54 pm

    Al don’t desecrate the island. 🙂


  219. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 10:56 pm

    SteveM,

    what ship is that? How much?


  220. SteveM April 7, 2011 11:04 pm

    gigi — the ship is NCL’s Pride of America. Departs Honolulu every Saturday. That’s the one (and only) ship in Hawaii that would be ideal for a blog cruise. But prices have been really high the last couple years. There is a slip dip right now. Pix and my “live” blog commentary is at…

    http://homepage.mac.com/smurashi/misc/nclamerica.html


  221. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 11:08 pm

    SteveM,

    I think I already saw your pics of the ship. I’ll show them to hubby later.


  222. al April 7, 2011 11:11 pm

    gg…uncle billy’s


  223. al April 7, 2011 11:11 pm

    jm411…are you from the big island?


  224. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 11:13 pm

    well, I hope Uncle Billy’s hotel has king size beds. A Requirement for gigi’s hubby.


  225. jm2375 April 7, 2011 11:23 pm

    al – my sister lives in Paauilo, and lived in Waimea for about 16 years before that. Mom’s family is from the Honokaa area and a few extended family members live in the area. Have never stayed in a hotel on the Hilo side. 😀 One of my uncles was a HVNP ranger way back when.


  226. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 11:23 pm

    hmmm. A germ of an idea is growing in my brain. We should take a 3 day weekend trip to the Big Island — maybe in June when the weather is nice.

    Helicopter tour of the volcano.

    Dinner with friends.

    Next day, drive to Mauna Lani Resort. See the sights along the way.

    Maybe visit a friend in Waimea.

    What can be better than that.


  227. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 11:25 pm

    Hey, JM,

    do you know the Kawatachis in Honokaa?


  228. homey ℞ April 7, 2011 11:29 pm

    My mom is FBI.


  229. al April 7, 2011 11:29 pm

    i confess.

    uncle billy’s is not a gg standard hotel.

    actually, the hotels in hilo are family type hotels. nothing fancy, however, they are reasonable.

    the west side has most of the higher quality resorts.


  230. jm2375 April 7, 2011 11:30 pm

    gigi – #231 – unless the last names are Higashi, Hino or Saito, I don’t know them. I don’t go over there too often. In fact, the last time we went was 2 years ago for my sis’ wedding. Stayed at Waikoloa, wedding was at their house in Paauilo. Wanted to go over Spring Break, but it didn’t work out.


  231. al April 7, 2011 11:31 pm

    honokaa and that famous bakery.


  232. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 11:32 pm

    tsigh…

    Al, the hotel has to be nice!

    Our friends in Hilo offered us their guest room, but they have a queen size bed. Not big enough for us…


  233. jm2375 April 7, 2011 11:32 pm

    al – #235 – Tex’s? mmmmm, malasadas.


  234. homey ℞ April 7, 2011 11:33 pm

    Laters…goodnight.


  235. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 11:35 pm

    JM, okay.


  236. al April 7, 2011 11:37 pm

    okay homey.


  237. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 11:40 pm

    It will be nice to get off the rock.

    Can’t afford Canada this year.

    We have been to all of the islands except for Niihau and Kahoolawe. lol.

    Just wondering where we should go this year.


  238. al April 7, 2011 11:40 pm

    tex’s…we drove from kona through waimea to honoka’a and then hilo and back.

    okay so we ate breakfast at hawaiian style cafe along the way.

    then gorged ourselves on those malasadas that everyone said was a must see/eat.

    ended up at the hilo open market.

    loaded up and drove back.

    by then i was so hungry…again.


  239. Kekoa April 7, 2011 11:42 pm

    Gigi ~ I am duly certified and authorized to offer you bed & breakfast with at Bhf2’s private residence. This includes use of his spare auto. No worry about the bed size. Big Hilo is taller than your hubby.


  240. al April 7, 2011 11:42 pm

    loihi


  241. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 11:43 pm

    hahaha! Kekoa, you do love to jest.


  242. Kekoa April 7, 2011 11:43 pm

    Hilo Billy ~ Check your email for information about the meeting with Bhf2.


  243. Kekoa April 7, 2011 11:46 pm

    That is a bonafide offer. Bhf2 gave me permission to make that offer! Ask his wife, this is for real.


  244. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 11:47 pm

    All I know is Al knows how to enjoy life.

    These little jaunts to the neighbor islands don’t cost an arm and a leg, and just 2-3 days visit hits the spot.

    You should be a tour escort!


  245. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 11:49 pm

    Kekoa,

    I am waiting for his email!!! lol.


  246. Kekoa April 7, 2011 11:51 pm

    I’ll even make you an offer for Las Vegas in September for one of my condo units. You know for certain I have done this in the past for some of the Tsaiko’s who decided to take my offer. Ask Wafan, he can tell you. Ask LizK or Ronnie.


  247. Kekoa April 7, 2011 11:54 pm

    OK…Boss sez to get to bed. Leaving early in the AM for Hilo. G’nite all.


  248. gigi-hawaii April 7, 2011 11:55 pm

    Kekoa,

    and catch the game at UNLV. wow.


  249. Ralph April 8, 2011 12:09 am

    Na Wahine takes on the Nevada Wolfpack this afternoon at 6 p.m. at the RWSS for a single game. A DH on Saturday starting at 4 p.m.


  250. al April 8, 2011 12:13 am

    gg…my favorite westside big island place to stay.

    http://www.shellhospitality.com/hotels/holua_resort/?chebs=gl_holua

    i kid you not. for the unbelievable price of under 150 night, you will get a full size one bedroom suite, private pool, full lanai, gigantic king size bed.

    full kitchen too.

    no on site dining facilities. but, you are a short drive from some of the best local places.


  251. gigi-hawaii April 8, 2011 12:20 am

    Al,

    how come check in is 4 pm? Very late.

    And wasn’t Kona ravaged by the tsunami? Especially Kealakekua Bay?


  252. al April 8, 2011 12:29 am

    no, no, no….know the ways.

    first, when making reservations always ask for early check in.

    two, always ask for kama’aina rates.

    three, when leaving the airport always call the hotel and say that you had to take an earlier flight ‘do you think you can help me and see if i can check in early?”

    four, money talks and grumbling walks. always tip the front desk and ask if an upgrade is available.

    five, be polite and thank them.

    all hotels typically advertise a 3pm check in. this is done to facillitate those who check out late and if they are overbooked. it is their insurance policy.

    always ask for a late check out the day before checking out. make sure that the front desk clerk whom you tipped is working and ask that person.


  253. al April 8, 2011 12:31 am

    get it?

    got it?

    gooood.


  254. gigi-hawaii April 8, 2011 12:34 am

    food for thought, huh?

    gotta babysit tomorrow, so good night!


  255. 99club April 8, 2011 1:24 am

    Good morning Tsaikos….

    Mahalo for the links al, Odunsi sounds like a fine one.

    Hotel tip: I once checked in to a nice hotel in Monterey, CA, and the room turned out to be a smoking room. I reserved non-smoking so I complained to the front desk and they moved me from the cheapest room to an ocean front non-smoking (all they had left at last minute). It got me thinking….


  256. Soccer Jerseys April 8, 2011 1:35 am

  257. How You Gonna Act? April 8, 2011 1:49 am

    Gang, I’ve been wondering recently, does the UH men’s volleyball team have enough talent to make a “run” during the MPSF Tournament?

    Admittedly, I’m not a vball guru, just a UH fan, but it does seem like Jonas Umlauft Josh Walker, Nejc Zemljak, Stephen Hunt and company are “quality” young men. Am I right or wrong?

    Heading out into the sloppy weather. Forecasters say that Hilo is clearing already. A’ole pilikia! We are waterproof!


  275. bigislandkurt April 8, 2011 7:42 am

    We’ve actually had good weather in Hilo over the past few months. As Oahu and Kauai were dealing with thunderstorms, we were basking in the sunshine. This is a good thing because typically dry places like Ka’u and west Hawaii were able to get some much needed rain. But in typical fashion, the rains are here just as the UH FB team and our visitors are about to make a visit. It gives fuel to the Hilo Rain legends and certainly provides credibility to that “Hilo’s such a rainly old town” line from Kapena.

    At any rate, pack your umbrellas.

    BIK


  276. kawika49 April 8, 2011 7:52 am

    We only have rains in Hilo during special events, such as; E K Fernandez Carnival, Major sporting events and days that end in Y.

    I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.

    Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.


  343. Rosetta stone languages April 25, 2011 10:04 am

    I’ve to say that I concur together with the sentiments about having AOL as range one particular. The comments posted along side it sum it up nicely, that it does next to nothing to strengthen the model, but only adds confusion.Out of the top rebrands inside the l ist, I’d set SyFy on the top. At first I hated the title, because I thought they did it ??just due to the fact,??? when actually that they had to change their title on account of being unable to legally use Sci-fi.??? Now relatively than coming up that has a complete new identify that no one would know- and quite possibly lose a good deal in the previously built in SciFi??? brand- they caught together with the previous name using a bit of phrase play. I can still call SyFy Sci-fi when it comes up, and that tends to make me satisfied.

    Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

    Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

    Great post. I was checking continuously this blog and I am impressed! Extremely useful info specially the last part 🙂 I care for such info much. I was seeking this particular info for a long time. Thank you and best of luck.


  349. cheap jimmy choo April 26, 2011 10:10 pm

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.


  350. cheap links of london April 27, 2011 3:46 am

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
