The waiting game
Mistakes?
Now is the time to make a few, according to UH offensive line coach Gordy Shaw.
“I don’t care if the defense blitzes every times (in spring drills),” Shaw said. “We might not block a soul. The next practice, when they do the same things, if we pick it up, good. We’ve learned something from our mistakes. You can’t always have success and think you’re ready to go. Through failure, you get better.”
Especially during spring training, Shaw said, referring to it as the “developmental” period. The Warriors are seeking to replace five o-linemen who started in the 2010 Hawaii Bowl. While a No. 1 o-line has been established (LT Clayton Laurel, LG/C Brett Leonard, C/LG Matagisila Lefiti, RG Chauncy Winchester-Makainai, RT Levi Legi), freshman tackles Sean Shigematsu and Jordan Loeffler, and guard David Lefotu are pushing for playing time.
“Physically, there’s a pretty good upside to those young players on the second unit,” Shaw said, cautioning, “it’s not like a 100-yard dash. It’s a matter of experience.”
Shaw said the nuances of playing on the offensive line cannot be learned overnight, equating the situation to someone trying to cram for a final. While the younger players have done well against base schemes, the first-unit blockers have more experience in facing stunts and blitzes.
“Everybody in the stands thinks you’re supposed to always block the guy in front of you,” Shaw said. “It’s not that way all of the time. Sometimes it might be the guy playing to the inside of you. … You don’t want to be the new puppy in the house that bites the ankle of everybody who shows up in front of you. We want our guys to play with patience and confidence. That comes with experience.”
Shaw said he wants to give each of the units ample practice time.
“We want to give everyone a chance in different situations,” Shaw said.

Avis has selected Rasu Begasu as winner of the T-shirt.
Interesting article about why Montana decided to not go to the WAC. Increasing their Athletic Budget by $6.8 mil per year and needing up to $30.6 mil in facility upgrades is a huge price to pay. Montana isn’t even compliant with Title IX right now with 22 less football scholarships at the D-IAA level.
Montana’s study happened after BSU/Nevada/Fresno left the WAC but before UH announced they were going to the MWC/BW.

I agree with Coach Shaw–hopefully the OL will see a lot of different looks and blitzes and make their mistakes now and learn from them…we need Moniz upright all season.
Gooooooo warriors!
Long Beach State’s students voted against having their school play football again.

Morning!
Learn from the mistakes.
Coach Shaw, I couldn’t find your old house in FLG…
what a football novice I am! I always thought the o-line had to tackle the guy in front of him. Well, now I know that’s not always the case.

Thanks, Tom, you are so thoughtful.
The number of options for the WAC seems to be decreasing. When considering the reduction in TV money and travel subsidies that UH will be paying when it joins the MWC/BW…the alternative of staying in the WAC was *not* a good one.
Ten!!!
Garret,
would you say that the teams that will replace the departing teams will improve the WAC? Or will they downgrade the WAC even more?
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂
Great philosophy by Coach Shaw. Let ’em learn.
Top Twenny, Travllin’ Tsing Tao Tom! 😉
We need that cohesion to develop quickly!
Between the end of Spring ball and the start of summer, does our O- and D-Lines go at each other for practice/experience’s sake? We always hear of the qb’s and receivers practicing on their own time. Or are they prohibited from squaring off in the off-season due to possible injury? Man, I hate being so far away AND clueless!
gigi,
Which teams will the WAC be adding? The options being talked about like Lamar will *not* upgrade the WAC and will not interest ESPN. The biggest thing the WAC needs are good football teams, but the WAC’s top 4 football schools are leaving for the MWC and nobody the WAC could add (with Montana out of consideration) would upgrade the WAC from its 7 members (counting the 2 Texas D-IAA schools).
Garret,
with that in mind then, do you see the demise of the WAC in the near future?
They’ve run out of teams in the West, unless Portland State and Sacramento State want to upgrade.
I thought Portland State switched to D-1A status already. No?
Sacramento State doesn’t have the money and they are looking at a *huge* budget cut again this year.
Portland State doesn’t have the money the last time I checked into their situation.
In other words, there are no options in the West for the WAC.
The bad thing is that the $2 bil in budget cuts for the state of Texas will close a few public Universities in Texas and shrink the budget for every other public University…so, the pool of schools in Texas will decrease also.
Congratulations Rasu Begasu!
And Rasu said he “never wins.”
I guess we’re all out of money.
I would say we should just print more money, but I guess that’s not how it works.
Darn. Shouldn’t have cut so many of Mr. Mak’s econ classes.
I think “never wins” is relative to where he lives.
gigi,
The WAC can continue as a basketball conference. So, the WAC won’t go away.
The WAC will end as a football conference if the MWC decides to expand. The MWC’s commissioner has talked about how they want to be the only non-AQ conference in the West, as that would give them better leverage with TV and fan attention. If the MWC added Utah State and SJSU (assuming that those schools win the WAC after UH leaves), then the WAC would stop playing football and there would be only 1 non-AQ option for ESPN/Comcast/Fox to bid on when the contract is up in 2015-2016.
My guess is that there will be another conference shuffle in 2015. MWC invitations could go out to whatever school or schools are dominant in the WAC. That could help get/keep AQ status for the MWC and would be perfectly timed for the MWC to get a much bigger TV contract starting in 2016.
Garret,
That’s too bad for Benson, then. I can just see his salary shrinking as a result.
If only “they” did still actually print the money now….
What was the headline this morning? $0.11 increase in gas price in the last week?
“Modern day football” sure is interesting…
Note that the Big 12’s TV contract ends in 2015-2016 also, so they will probably invite 2 schools to start with them in 2016. That will have a domino effect through the MWC, C-USA, and WAC.
Right now if the Big 12 added teams they would get no extra TV money. So, the conference title game is worth $0 right now. But the conference title game could be worth $20 mil if they added 2 teams in time for 2016. That is why the Big 12 didn’t expand now and why they WILL give invitations to 2 schools in 2015.
Note that the Big 12 was getting the same amount of TV money as the SEC for years, but the Big 12 signed a TV contract with ABC/ESPN before the money started going crazy…but that ABC/ESPN contract is up in 2015-2016 and they will cash in then.
d1,
your next car should be the Nisssan Leaf. all electric, no gas.
1.5 miles roundtrip to/from work. Electric car no make sense…
gigi,
Karl Benson has made millions from the WAC over his years as commissioner, with an expense account that let him rack up zillions of frequent flier miles and hotel points. Despite all the teams that have left the conference, his salary has been going up instead of down over these 17 years if the media reports I’ve read are correct.
UH has been paying 1/9 of his salary for 17 years…since they money spent on his salary reduces the conference distribution.
Leaf: $33K minus $12K (tax credits) = $21K.
Trouble is we don’t have enough income. Hubby wants to know if we can spread the tax credit over several years.
…and he still collects residual checks for the Elmer Fudd reruns…. 😈
Congrats to …. the Church College team. Good run for a truly international team based in Laie! 🙂
Garret,
yes, but with football gone (in the future, we imagine), why wouldn’t his salary and perks decrease? I don’t get it.
USU and SJSU bring market share (Utah, and CA/Bay-Area) to the MWC. Otherwise, SJSU should join the Big West, USU and Idaho – Big Sky, La Tech has options, and NSMU….. ?
skrew KB! 😈
I like the Chevy Volt more than the Nissan Leaf–all-electric driving for about 40 miles and then a gas engine in case we are on a road trip that is beyond the range of the battery.
But the plug-in Prius and other options are also supposed to be coming later this year and that will provide some other options to consider.
I like 99club’s suggestion of the Hyundai Elantra–good gas mileage and very reasonable price.
You are not really going to be helping the environment with an electric car if you drive so little–not much gas used there. With electric car supplies low, it would be better to let someone else buy the car that will drive it more.
There is a huge premium right now for electric or plug-in systems for cars. That premium may decreased to a decent level in 2 years. A Prius or similar car would be zero-emission and use minimal gas. I am getting about 47 mpg with my Honda Insight right now because 90% of my driving is on the freeway. The Honda engine does better on the freeway and the Toyota engine does better on surface streets.
Chevy Volt — it has a gas generator that creates more electricity so there is still no emission. More expensive than the Leaf — $41K.
I just don’t like our dependence on foreign oil, not to mention polluting the environment. We all should do our best to stop this.
gigi,
Why wouldn’t Karl Benson’s salary be lower than when the WAC had BYU, Utah, and the rest of the teams that left for the MWC?
Why wouldn’t Karl Benson be making less money now than what he made when SMU, TCU, UTEP and others were still in the WAC?
Why wouldn’t Karl Benson’s salary decrease after Boise State got the MWC invitation and he said that leaving the WAC was a “reward” for their football success?
If he makes more money now despite losing BYU, TCU, Utah, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, UTEP, SMU, and so many others schools, why should we think that the WAC Presidents will decrease his salary?

I hope that you do realize that hybrid cars have been zero emission vehicles for years. There are a lot of ways to avoid polluting the environment than just all-electric cars.

Nice to see you on the blog today brew808! I was in the Bay Area a couple of weeks ago, but didn’t contact you since we went straight from the airport to the company we were meeting with and then back to the airport at the end of the day to fly back home. But I’ll be visiting the Bay Area pretty often if this week’s meeting goes well.
Garret,
another side of the coin: why in the world does Benson still have a job??? lol. hard to believe, isn’t it?

Garret,
You are incorrect about hybrids being zero emission cars. Since they have a gas engine, they can’t be zero emission. The Prius and the Volt are classified as ultra low emission vehicles.

Try checking out Kapolei S.C.on a weekend and all the Tahoes, Navi’s, Titans and Tundras…
…and don’t even try getting in front of one of ’em on the freeway!
Rasu,
Last I heard, you were in the dog house for buying an expensive car. Still there?
Hey….. me too! I liked Mr$. Howell too! 🙂
Cousin from Ibaragi reports that with no gas he can’t go to work, grocery stores are empty.
He has to slog 2 miles each way twice a day to receive food from the military
am was a banana and cup noodle, pm was a banana and a can of something.
not happy no power yet and his can opener is electric
Hmmm…. I see Ms. Wie continues to struggle. Maybe her swing is… too “level”, …. as a recent blog expert had been expounding….

It should be pointed out that even electric vehicles will result in pollution because generating electricity damages the environment unless you have a solar power system at your home. Coal-based systems generate pollution that can harm people, petroleum-based electric system generate pollution, etc. Natural gas is cleaner, but I don’t think Hawaii uses much of that for electricity. Nuclear-generated power may not have emissions, but the tragedy in Japan shows the dangers there.
Lori’s sister and cousins are about to arrive, so I guess my blogging is done until Wednesday or so unless I can sneak in some blog time.

Let’s make it a win-win situation today…
I prefer silence … and the written word (like blogs). don’t care much for music anymore, don’t know why.
AFLAC!!!!
Aflac insurance (Japanese division) taking heat for Gilbert Godfreid
Tsunami jokes.
if I had to choose, I would prefer to be deaf than blind.
…goes to OT
😕
I don’t understand that play…. 🙄
Go…. B U T L E R !!! 😀
those TV commercials never made me want to buy AFLAC insurance, and now, even less so.
Kekoa – you (probably meant) “win-win-win-win” as both are DH’s. 😀
βρεω808,
Me neither.
That is some “want-to”!
Play the game, not the clock. 😈
ding, ding, ding….!
gigi…you wouldn’t qualify for the products that the aflac commercial is advertising. first, things first you have to be working.
Brutal! Calling, “brick” on nat’l. TV!
Hope the don’t call the same (non) play….. 🙄
Drive and dish! 🙂
But – Go Butler! 😀
har. hubby said he thinks he has dengue fever. gotta take a blood test to know for sure.
besides, we don’t live in Pearl City.
rasu…aflac will be paying through their nose to those japanese under policy. it is said that one out of four working folks in japan own an aflac policy.
better dengue then mono.
al,
okay, i didn’t know that.
#113…oh now i know the rest of the story.
rasu is that why he is so up and down?
my grandson lives in Pearl City (townhouse).
he has mosquito bites.
briefly had a fever — due to teething, we thought.
does he have dengue???
Billy Donovan needed a TO for THAT play?
B U T L E R !!! 😀
Da B-U-T-L-E-R did it!
Butler? ah ha! should I ruin it for hubby? he’s watching the DVR.
nah! he said, “tell the warrior beat to stop it.”
WDoc,
I am sort of in the same boat as you: If hubby dies before I do and we have used up our savings, I will be in deep kimchee.
My only alternative — and perhaps yours, too — would be to rent out the extra rooms to boarders…
dengue outbreak is below the freeway in PC; where the spring water flows.
The health dept. says those mosquitoes only fly in a 100-yd. radius so the town homes up the hill should be safe.
…unless, of course, he dies before age 65 and he still has life insurance. Then, I’ll have more than enough to live on.
d1,
hope you’re right!
Talk about winning in Rasu’s town.
I wonder if you coulda get odds last April on Butler getting back to the Final Four before Duke?
that was a shock when Duke lost.
“Florida got the lead!” hubby shouts.
haha. if he only knew…
Good afternoon!
Congratulations Rasu Begasu
Happy birthday WarriorMojo!
Whoo-hoo!!!
Go SoftBows and BaseBows!
Own the other teams!!!
Slugger, et al,
I am back on the radar.
Robin and I did some fundraising for a non-profit. It was a much better experience then.
nooners!
Off topic… to all the dieters…
Two beers is the same as a double hamburger, two slices of pizza, or a typical roast beef sandwich. Regular beer has between 150-200 calories.. lite beer anywhere from 100-130 calories. Not a whole lot of difference.
MIH,
hmmm. I just drank a Tsingtao to honor Tom’s photos of the brewery.
How many calories? The bottle does not say.
The Chinese don’t care about calories? lol.
Anyway, I just 1-2 beers a week, and then pau.
Hawaii#24,
Thot that was you. Malasadas from Agnes’ would be heaven, but I’m trying to lose weight. Got to spend a little time with Robin. She says Hi!
Happy birthday to WarriorMojo, Ian and Kyeton!

Better put on my black ninja clothes before heading to the garden. Gotta hide from the ‘squeeters.
Congratulations to da little-black-ninja-feet Rasu Begasu! See you next month.
K, latahs…
MIH,
BTW, there was a recent article regarding the value of being obese when you are in your 70s, 80s and 90s.
French study of the elderly patients in a French hospital. The ones who died first were the thin patients.
Followed by the moderately sized patients.
The patients who survived and went home were all OBESE.
So, there!
gigi..
They probably don’t feed them enough in the French Hospitals… so the skinny ones died of malnutrition. 😉
rolo can make it easier on coach shaw’s hogs if he inserts counter-running plays to the perimeter by some of our speedy receivers. it keeps def ends and outside blitzes honest and checks any attempt to zero-in on our QB from the edge. this is employed by many offensive systems across the college landscape utilizing a 4-spread O. troy n oregon are a couple of great examples. if we have the assests–use it!
MIH,
real question: how in the world did the obese make it to their 70s, 80s or 90s in the first place?
In 5 yrs, I’ll be 70.
hmmm. Should I stop trying to lose weight? lol
To be honest, the only true reason why I want to lose weight is to LOOK BETTER.
So far, my lab scores are normal. will know again next month when I report to the lab again.
what happened to these mega-star athletes — Magic Johnson and Charles Barkley — both obese.
gigi…
Being overweight isn’t always the cause of bad health… it really is a matter of how much your own metabolism can handle. The bigger the body, the more mass that can be affected by free radical damage… when free radical damage in a specific area exceeds what your immune system can handle, then you start to have problems.
World class athletes do not necessarily live longer. They die of heart attacks like everyone else. Often, though, they don’t have the typical angina type warning signals. Unless one takes a nuclear stress test or something very similar, one may never know if one has heart disease. Athletes that endure a lot of stress often have badly scarred hearts at the end of their career. You can have 70% blockage and not know it.
MIH,
you mean you can have 70% blockage — and a cholesterol test won’t reveal you have problems???
Okay.. I’m off for my afternoon walk… gotta keep my ticker ticking…
gigi…
Yes. And cholesterol doesn’t always mean you have a blockage. It just means you may have a problem. Did you know that your body produces over 70% of the cholesterol in your blood and that very little comes from what you eat. Cholesterol is produced by your own body to help digest the fat you eat.
MIH,
I don’t know what constitutes angina.
I tend to have chest pain at least once or twice a year. There was a really bad one when I was trying to run 14 miles from Makapuu Pt to Kapiolani Park. That was back in 1982, 6 mos after child birth. I was out of shape.
In 2000, I had a nuclear stress test at Straub. Results — heart was normal, no heart disease!!!
Last year, I had a treadmill stress test — again normal.
so, how come I still have chest pain now and then?
i cant remember looking forward to two dbs from juco as much as mike edwards (cb) and brandon leslie (s). generally, you wonder about juco dbs bc they play undisciplined and freelance. in both cases, edwards and leslie have played early in a d1a setting before jumping the juco route. sources say they are as advertised. the same source liked mouton and aaron brown (as a olb, not safety).
if they report early, work into top shape, avoid injury, learn and weave their way into our system and favor with their respective position-coaches–we could see something new in our D. a stout secondary in our system opens the playbook to possibilities that have been more wishful thinking than fact. talented athletes raise everyones level of play. hopefully these two heralded recruits can play-up to talent early in september…
gigi – the French drink more wine
Hiflyer,
but the French also eat more cheese.
I think our offensive line is gonna be mean with our crop of young guys. All of them recruited by Coach Shaw, so I’m sure he’s grooming them into one cohesive beast of an Oline come season time. I can see how he’s just putting the first unit out there with more experience but I’m sure the second unit’s talent and physicality is just as good as the first. I’m excited to see the potential be unleashed this year and the years to come. Love when our bigs play physical and together and dominate defensive lines. Remember when Vince Manuwai and Wayne Hunter would thrash guys and Samson Satele, Tala Esera, etc… would slam guys to the ground. I would love to see all five guys bumrush the Dline on one dive play up the gut and pancake all of em one time then get to the second level and smash the LB’s den see the secondary shi-shi pants…
warriorsun – I’m excited to see those two guys in action as well as Henderson, Van Ackeren, Armstrong, and Sellers. I think our seconday going be mean. Plus with my man John Hardy-Tuliau straight beastin all over the field it’s gonna be murder…
finally, ricketts got her bang in the box. idk why she hasnt been inserted sooner as our regular designated-hitter?
kinda of ironic to see our most troubled spots in the order (#8 and #9) hit back-to-back homeruns….maybe, it will go viral.
Anyway, speaking of OLines, I hope our defensive line is playing with attitudes and mean streaks… I always thought our DLines were a little thin as far as height and weight although they still hold it down. I hate seeing our guys get dominated by bigger, physical offensive lines though like when we played USC, Wisconsin, Georgia, etc… I know we focus on speed but I would love to see big guys with speed. Regardless I hope the boys been hitting the weights hard and have been conditioning themselves so we can out physical and out hustle other teams…
I think its gonna be a big year for Coach Shaw and the O-line.
#170, PB, i cant recall uh having so much diversified talent at DT–the foundational hingepin to our D.
watch out for masch, correa and hanohano this year. different player-dna than kaniela and vaughn–they are laterally mobile and if our secondary steps up, aranda may cut them loose with creative interior rush routes. rather they be hostile, moblile and agile than just plain mean. 🙂
with the exception of whinchester-makainai most of the projected ol starters have spent their careers at manoa apprenticing. they should be fundamentally sound and mature.
how good? we will know after the colorado game.
but, for pure talent on the ol, one needs to only glance to our 4-year starters over the years, like sapolo and satele, to mention a couple. if the brut offensive blocking talent is there–it will be too huge to ignore. plain as day.
apprenticeship has solid merit and is deserving, but the two are not the same.
Shout out to the Hilo Fans. I had a phone-con with the Hilo Man (BHF2) hizzself this AM. He extends his apologies for being out of the loop. His legal battle with a certain pain-in-da-okole has taken all his time and attention. He will hustle back to Hilo from Honolulu for the Warrior football practice that weekend. No time to plan a proper T-gate, but hopes we can all come together on scrimmage day.
I think it would be fantastic to meet up with any of the Hilo Tsaiko’s after the practice session. BHF2 & I will be positioned near the team signing tables to corral any fans that would like to join in with us at a meeting place. Several establishments have been mentioned by BHF2, and naming one may end up being a game day decesion.
HiloBilly, BIK, or any other Big Island fan is urged to contact BHF2 at his office in Hilo. You may also drop me an email note with your suggestions at: kekoa22@aoldotcom

Chest pains could be from a number of causes. It could be from simple indigestion, or more serious conditions such as muscle spasm, cellular spasm and blood clots. Blood clots are the worst at they usually spell death to part of the organ or the host. Cellular spasm occurs when the arterial wall is damaged and unwelcome minerals such as calcium, cadmium, lead, aluminum, etc.. penetrate the cell walls around the damaged area. This can lead to inflamation and the gradual development of plaque.
I had no problems a couple of years ago. I could still play a set of singles Tennis without getting winded. Go hiking several miles without effort. It’s amazing how a couple years and a small percentage of additional plaque can add up and suddenly become a threat. In the smaller ateries, a 10% increase in opening could mean 100% more blood flow.
A prostaglandin hormone imbalance due to having too many free radicals in and around the damaged area could cause aterial spasm.
If antacids or vinegar don’t alleviate the pain, then you probably don’t have indigestion. Then, strong antioxidants like astaxanthin over a period of months may be your best bet. Or, if you want something stronger, try EDTA.
Gigi…
Oh yeah…and don’t forget your 10,000 steps a day. Get a pedometer… wear it all day.. see how many steps you really take.
MIH,
My aunt never smoked a day in her life. She was also trim and active. Yet, she died at age 59 of lung cancer.
There’s my uncle, who has a huge paunch and could be considered obese. He has diabetes. Yet, he’s going to be 79 this year, still drives his car, and golfs several times a week.
This is why I am fatalistic. What will be will be. If 2 cardiologists found nothing wrong with my heart, then what heck?
another thing:
my aunt smoked and drank. She died at age 80.
But, I can understand your anxiety since you have angina.
A friend’s mother had heart disease and was very sedentary. She died at 86.
of course, we all want to live to 100.
but, realistically, how many of us do?
my mom is 95… god bless!
but
my dad died at 87.
Way too many mistakes on defense and it’s killing the UH baseball team. J. Arakawa pitched well for a true freshmen. He sure looks to have a bright future.
Congrats to the Wahine on the SWEEP!!
Glad I stuck out the twice rain-delayed Wahine doubleheader as the team swept Utah State. Hitting better but still leaving too many runners on base. Hope Casey Jensen can keep it up. Hit a home run yesterday and the key two-run double in the sixth inning today, which was the margin of victory and only scores put on the board the 2nd game. Pitching, as usual, terrific.
gigi,
I had one case of angina… and an angiography that showed that I had two partial blockages in each of the three arteries feeding my heart. The doctors wanted to keep me in the hospital over the weekend and operate the following Monday. They even called my wife before I could and told her that it was imperative that I stay in the hospital over the weekend and have a triple bypass on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. After clearing my head and hearing my wife sobbing over the phone, I decided I would go home and think about it.
Over the next few days the doctors and nurses kept telling me that I could die at any moment because I was at an extremely high risk for a heart attack. The told me that no other procedure had been proven to remove blockages. They even went so far as to yell at me and say that I needed surgery ASAP! and reconfirmed with me loudly that I fully understood that I was a high risk candidate for a heart attack and that I could die at any time. The whole ordeal was harrowing to say the least, and my worst nightmare to date.
That was one month ago… my blood pressure then was 160/99 without meds…
My blood pressure when I wake up is no 145/93 and with a some natural homeopathic supplements, I keep it between 110-125/73-77 throughout the day. I eat a serving of natto daily or take 1/4 teaspoon of concentrated natto powder in lieu aspirin whenever possible.
So far.. so good. Knock on wood!
Whoo hoo.. way to go Wahine!! …
MIH,
good luck! that was scary!!! I think I would have opted for surgery, though. I am a fan of western medicine.
gigi..
I had read a lot before going in for the angiography…
3.5-4% die
30% really didn’t need the operation
40% suffer memory loss or some other dysfunction
Majority need surgery again within 4-6 years.
Except for rare cases of severe heart disease to the left ventricle or valves (which I was not), the longevity of the patient was not appreciatively better than those who opted to a life on meds.
Those who have triple bypasses usually have twice the risk of heart attacks after surgery!!
The blood clot, if any, that would ultimately kill me will come from somewhere else in my artery.
Bypass surgery does not guarantee that you will be angina free.
Often, those that do become angina free simply are unable to feel their angina attack due to the bypass. This is detrimental to their health!
you should have gone to Straub. They are nationally ranked for cardiac care.
It’s still a procedure that I would opt to forgo in favor of alternative therapy.
anyway.. enough about me… how’s our injured basebows doing?
Congrats to Na Wahine on the sweep. They still have some work to do, but a W is a W.
Tom Mui,
I sounds like you are on the same cruise that my Aunty Amy & Uncle Gary are on. They’re supposed to be in HK by tomorrow, I think.
Georgia wins again against #2Florida, 13-5. They face off again on Sunday with the winner taking the lead in the eastern division of the SEC.
WAC softball: Nevada sweeps DH against Boise State; Fresno State takes two from La Tech and New Mexico State defeats San Jose State.
Good day for pitchers at the Les today.
BleedGreen808,
Yep. A few defensive booboos will getcha especially when da oddah guys no make ’em, too!
Big week in prep baseball coming up.
SLS and MPI (both 9-0) squaring off 3 times.
PC (6-0) and Mililani (5-0) play twice.
wdoc…did i hear you correctly that you do not qualify for social security?
you should find out how many quarters you are short by call the ss office locally. then it would behoove you to seek some employment so tht you are eligible to receive benefits later on.
you may also be eligible to receive dr. doc’s higher ss benefits should he predecease you.
another important factor for you to be eligible for ss benefits is that you may also be eligible to receive medicaid benefits should that become necessary.
gigi…in your case you should seriously purchase a life insurance policy for david. i know one who can hlep you.
d1…who made those schedules anyway?
d1 – GO OWLS!! 😀
And I thought most everyone here already are eligible for SS. Or at least get 10% off every Tuesday at Ross Dress for Less. 😆
eh homey, speak for yourself!
yah…oh wait.
In that case, don’t forget to moisturize.

Wife Technical Support
Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began with unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources.
In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activities such as: Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0, Blogging 9.0 and Golf 7.5
I can’t seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I’m thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall doesn’t work on Wife 1.0. Please HELP!!
Thanks,
A Troubled User
———- REPLY ———-
Dear Troubled User:
This is a very, very common problem that men complain about. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!
It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0. It is impossible to uninstall or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this.
Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings – Alimony/Child Support. I recommend that you keep Wife 1.0 and work on improving the situation. I also suggest installing the background application “Yes Dear” to alleviate software augmentation.
The best course of action is to enter the command C:APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance! It comes with several support programs, such as: Clean and Sweep 3.0, Cook 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2. However, be very careful how you use these programs; improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag 9.5.
Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend: Flowers 2.1, Hugs 4.3 and especially Diamonds 5.0
WARNING!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary with Short Skirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.
Best of luck,
Tech Support 🙂

pfffft. Just get another laptop and only install Girlfriend 7.0.
SteveM – you forgot to tell us who the first Tsaikette to attend a lunch cc was.

SteveM – you forgot to tell us who the first Tsaikette to attend a lunch cc was.
Sorry, jm2375 — I was looking at the wrong date this morning. 😳 She will appear at the Makino Chaya Cattle Call scheduled for tomorrow (blog archive time 3/27/07). Allow me to defer until tomorrow…
Here a ton of information here. Thanks! I’ll be back for more
Hey, me too…but I can’t find my floppy disc with Girlfriend 2.0. My operating system can only handle the older version. 😐
That’s the problem, you have a floppy disk and no hard drive.
😆 There’s the homey I know! Good one!
When using Wife 1.0 you don’t need virus protection. More of an optional thing.
homey, #216…u keep thinking that…in this day and age. lol
Meanwhile Husband 1.0 is very slow and needs frequent cleaning. Crashes frequently and must be monitored closely for viruses and delusions of grandeur. Women are advised to forget about the Husband OS and get Dog 1.0.
iwonderwhytheyhateme — he’s waiting for you to point out worms, trojans, and spyware.
But I’m refraining. 🙄
Some women use pirated Husband 1.0 and are not satisfied with the results.
Of course the licensed Husband 1.0 only works with updated Woman computers. The old, big, and clunky women computers does not meet minimal requirements.
As they say on PHP land, goodnight world.
haha my comment is awaiting moderation because i told stevem to check into SEEALICE_2.1.1…c_i_@_l_i_s….hahah
jm2375 — las vegas did post a HUSBAND TECH SUPPORT joke right after Long Time on the same night. They were a team. I won’t re-post the whole thing, but this portion fits in with your #218…
“But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1.
Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.”
🙂
nytal!
Hope the UH coaches offer this guy http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=5016077
He wants to play volleyball in college as well. Charlie Wade just got a commitment from his setter.
Nice!! Great Info. Great People. Great Blog. Thank you for all the great sharing that is being done here.

Gratz to Wahine Softball! We keep leaving far too many on base. But at least the “W’s” are coming again!

Come on BaseBows!
Put things together and the wins will come.
Ned was down on his luck in Las Vegas. He had gambled away all his money and had to borrow a dime from another gambler just to use the men’s room. The stall happened to be open, so he used the dime in a slot machine and hit the jackpot. He took his winnings and went to the blackjack table and turned his small winnings into ten million dollars.
Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams, Ned went on the lecture circuit, where he told his incredible story. He told his audiences that he was eternally grateful to his benefactor, and if he ever found the man he would share his fortune with him. After months of lectures, a man in the audience jumped up and said, “I’m that man. I was the one who gave you the dime.”
“You’re not the one I’m looking for. I’m looking for the guy who left the door open!”
A group from Chicago spent a weekend gambling in Las Vegas. One of the men on that trip won $100,000. He didn’t want anyone to know about it, so he decided not to return with the others, but took a later plane home — arriving back 3 a.m. He immediately went out to the backyard of his house, dug a hole and planted the money in it. The following morning he walked outside and found only an empty hole. He noticed footsteps leading from the hole to the house next door, which was owned by a deaf-mute. On the same street lived a professor who understood sign language and was a friend of the deaf man. Grabbing his pistol, the enraged man went to awaken the professor and dragged him to the deaf man’s house.
“You tell this guy that if he doesn’t give me back my $100,000 I’m going to kill him!” he screamed at the professor. The professor conveyed the message to his friend, and his friend replied in sign language, “I hid it in my backyard, underneath the cherry tree.”
The professor turned to the man with the gun and said, “He’s not going to tell you. He said he’d rather die first.”
Huh? Got slot machines in the bathroom stalls? And got dime slots? 🙄 😀
A young sexy blonde went to Las Vegas. She had been in the casino for about an hour, and realized she was thirsty. So she went to the pop machine in the hall. She put $1.00 in an a Pepsi came out, she put another $1.00 in and another Pepsi came out, she put one last $1.00 in and another Pepsi came out.
A man saw her, and he said: “What are you doing?” And the sexy blonde said: “Duh!! Winning!!!”
yup get dime slots, kinda rare though.
although none anymore Its all coinless now
next time in LV try stay sober for a couple of hours!!
Duh! 😆
Good Sunday morning Brew!
After checking the Warrior Spring roster, waddaya think? Get good chance to run da table ‘o wat?!
g’morning Boss Kekoa! I was just looking at flights to/from SEA and LAS for Sept.
Me… ainolikebachi… but Warriors have chance for W every game! 🙄 🙂 😀
Also…. still recovering from Rasu Begasu‘s low blow. 😈
BTW – was rob25‘s fault! 😆
Go Georgetown Ladies!!! Beat UConn!!! 😀
Good morning!
Happy birthday, Cat!
As long as the boys take care each other and execute what they was taught, they can run the table. All they gotta worry about is themselves, they can beat anybody on any given day. What happens when they lose is because it was mostly self inflicted mistakes that was too late to overcome later in the game. I don’t think any of the teams we faced last year was better than us, even the USC rubbaz…
Great Morning All!
As Fr. Mulcahy used to say, “Jocularity, jocularity!” 😆
Kekoa et al!
I’m here — would love to meet up with whoever making it to the April Scrimmage in Keaau! There may be some SportsHawaii folks as well as blog folks making it to the scrimmage. I look forward to putting faces to the names! Grinds afterward? Kuhio grille lau lau or Ozen special at Jimmys?
BIK
Thank you for the usefull informations its really very good that people share their expreriences.
JMHO that Brett Leonard to better suited to play OT (probably RT) in 2-point stance….instead of inside at OG in 3-point stance….since he tends to lose leverage to shorter DTs.

The subsequent time I read a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I do know it was my option to read, but I really thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you possibly can fix should you werent too busy searching for attention.
I think this is one of the most vital info for me. And i am glad reading your article. But want to remark on some general things, The site style is great, the articles is really excellent : D. Good job, cheers

The next time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have one thing interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you possibly can fix when you werent too busy on the lookout for attention. http://www.cupomdescontao.com.br/ofertas/compra-coletiva/
It is the best time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy. I have read this post and if I could I want to suggest you some interesting things or suggestions. Maybe you could write next articles referring to this article. I desire to read more things about it!
Hi! I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
I have been finding many different opinions on this and find this post to be one of the more enlightening on the subject. Hope we can increase the quality of responses than what I have seen as many do not seem to be very relevant. http://oi-torpedo.com
I am so grateful for your blog.Really thank you! Awesome.
I loved your article post.Much thanks again. Really Cool.
It’s exhausting to search out knowledgeable folks on this topic, but you sound like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks
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.
I have to say that I concur together with the sentiments about getting AOL as range one particular. The comments posted along facet it sum it up nicely, that it does next to nothing to strengthen the brand, but only adds confusion.From the top rebrands within the l ist, I’d set SyFy in the high. Initially I hated the identify, because I thought they did it ??just due to the fact,??? when in reality they’d to change their name as a consequence of becoming unable to legally use Sci-fi.??? Now fairly than coming up having a whole new identify that nobody would know- and potentially lose a good deal on the previously inbuilt SciFi??? brand- they caught with all the previous name having a bit of phrase play. I can nevertheless call SyFy Sci-fi when it arrives up, and that helps make me delighted.
