It's definitely not implemented in software in macOS. It's no hardware thing. I heard rumors it works with Windows on a Mac.

When I lived in Hawaii, I was told that the translation of pe-loi Haole, was 'dirty white person", The tern was from the fact that they did not remove their shoes when they entered a home. Too many years, don't remember the spelling. My daughter was born there, making her a kamahina, not a haole.

Thank you. I was wondering why I haven't gotten my Birthday treat information.

Born 1957 and rises on Ohau.... haole was never used in respect because the foreigner never gave us respect ,didn't understand the real effect till i moved to Brazil where they call all foreigners including Hawaiians gringos. It has a bad effect on me but not on the other foreigners..... still the truth they have no respect i don't care what south Americans say.

Actually, that's the reason I didn't lift the pen to see what was on the other side.

Hope there's a third side if it says "IS"

I'll have to check the next time I go. For symmetry purposes, I'm hoping the other side says "PEN"

What's written on the other side?

Haole in modern slang means white person to most people in Hawaii. In Hawaiian the true meaning was always "foreign". The word predates Hawaiians meeting white people and even now plenty of country Hawaiian's that I know differentiate between a haole with mainland city lifestyle and a local white person

Haole means foreign. It is a misconception to spell that it is meant to be spent Ha'ole, which would mean without breath. Nowadays most people in Hawaii think it means white but I still know plenty of Hawaiians who differentiate between haole people with a mainland lifestyle and local white people.

In my experience, in general, the Ewa wing is never as busy as the rest of the mall though.

Re: The Beauty of Bankruptcy

On the other hand, you would think that with limited food options in the Ewa Wing, these locations would have more customers because of their distance.

They were too far removed from the other food places to be successful, IMO.

Heard about this from a coworker too but she didn't have the link handy. May try this option but that 14-day timeframe is on the border assuming the rental period starts as soon as I pickup the device and physically return it.

Re: Does a Tesla Powerwall Make Sense in Hawaii?

DC,g — Wed, 15 Mar 2017 16:59:44 -0000

Actually, I do. Start by ordering 12 v 100 w solar panels from eBay, Amazon Prime or anyway you can get your hands on panels. Any larger panel, you'll pay through the nose for shipping, they run me about $1.19 a watt right now. You don't have to buy them all at once, you can buy little by little each month. Then start buying 6v & 8v golf cart batteries from Sam's Club or Costco and connect them in series/ parallel circuit so that you end up with a 14v system. Then you can shop on eBay for D.C. To AC inverters and hardware them into your electrical box, I find a separate box works better so that you can build up your system as you go along. Later on, you can add wind turbines & pulse/ desulfurization chargers to keep the insides of your battery banks clean & last for decades. The reason I designed two of my four battery banks into 14v systems is because 12v systems alarm out your inverters after about 4-5 hours and 14v don't alarm out my inverters at all. You get about 14-19 hours before they alarm out the inverters if there was no sunlight at all. Plus all of my radios operate at 13.8 volts, so 14v systems make more sense to me. I hope this helps.

I am trying to get off the grid - do you have any insights of where to start now that we have all of these options?

Re: Does a Tesla Powerwall Make Sense in Hawaii?

DC,g — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 21:23:05 -0000

The only thing that really makes sense is to simply go off grid and put the savings in your pocket every month and expand your own grid at will or when needed. I prefer using AGM and golf cart batteries, they seem to be very forgiving and long lasting if you incorporate pulse/desulfurization chargers. I was never a fan of HECO, net metering nor connecting to a grid that can go down with any tsunami or hurricane,based on the locations of all of the electric generation plants on the island of Oahu. Not only that,when the grid goes down,so does your power also and get this,you have the solar panels on your roof. The upside, it costs less than $10k to go off grid vs the $50k-$90k to connect to the grid. I am hoping that common sense prevails here...

Re: Where to Buy Tiger Sahara Water Bottle Replacement Caps?

Yup, they still do in a variety of colors as well. They may not have the full lineup of available colors but usually have several to pick from if you don't want the exact replacement. Parking is humbug but you can park right in front of their office for your short transaction.
