My father in law is awarded Elk of the Year from the Pearl City Elks Lodge #2669

We were proud to learn Eduardo (Ed) Menor was awarded "Elk Of The Year" from the Pearl City Elks Lodge #2669.

From the Elks Website:

You may be asking yourself - "Self? What are Elks?" We are a very American organization providing services to our youth through programs that support such groups as Special Olympics and Boy Scouts, we coordinate the Elks National Hoop Shoot program with the Department of Parks and Recreation and work with schools promoting our Drug Awareness and Americanism programs.

We are Americans, proud of our country and its people. As such we are very active in recognizing and supporting our Veterans. We raise and appropriate funds for their support, collect donations from our members and the community to assist homeless Veterans and attempt in every way to repay them for their dedication to our Freedom. As Americans we also respect our beautiful flag, "Old Glory." Each Flag Day we honor our flag at a very emotional ceremony on board the USS Missouri, the "Mighty Mo," which is open to the public.

Other community involvement includes:
AMERICANISM ESSAY CONTEST - "What Freedom Means To Me.".
CALIFORNIA-HAWAII MAJOR PROJECT - The Major project "The Purple Pig," serves children from birth to 21 years of age with home-based occupational therapy, physical therapy ...
SPECIAL OLYMPICS HAWAII - Special Olympics was founded on the belief that people with intellectual disabilities can, with proper instruction and encouragement, learn, enjoy and ...
NATIONAL DRUG AWARENESS PROGRAM - Every year, the Elks Drug Awareness Program...
VETERANS SERVICES - The Pearl City Elks, have identified the homeless veterans at Kalaeloa as the major group of Veterans most in need that we can help..

Ed - Congratulations from your entire family!

Super Bowl Coach and Japan Hula Dancer enjoy some steak and the sunset.

Tonight I met Mr. Chuck Mills and found out he was an assistant with the Kansas City Chiefs the year of the first Super Bowl in 1967.

Mr. Mills was eating with his friend Noriko from Japan.

He was also the head football coach at seven collegiate institutions including Utah State University, Wake Forest University, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Pomona College, Southern Oregon University, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and U.S. Coast Guard Academy.

You never know who you will meet at Tiki's Grill & Bar

New App I helped develop now comes to market! If you need help with app let me know. Free for this week only.

For millennia man and animal have tolerantly coexisted, separated by language and the development of opposable thumbs. Today we can proudly say that we have overcome one of those hurtles. Presenting Google Translate for Animals, a new application available in Android Market.

his application allows you to record animal sounds and have the sounds analyzed and translated by Google Translate into any of the 52 supported languages. With animal translation you can finally understand why Spot keeps peeing in your closet or why Pickles keeps leaving dead mice in the tub. No longer must humanity struggle to comprehend when Lassie warns, “Hurry, Timmy’s fallen down the well!”

The technology isn’t perfect yet, so you may discover some translations that don’t make perfect sense. The algorithms are always improving however, thanks to the large corpus of cute cat videos that have been uploaded to YouTube.

We think that this is an exciting step in understanding and communicating with the world around us. Stay tuned for the addition of “old car” and “stomach” to the translation capabilities of the application this summer.
