The Mele Murals collectively represent pono (harmony and balance). Harmony and balance from a Hawaiian perspective sees that what is in heaven is also on earth and what is on land is balanced by its counterpart in the ocean. To be pono is to be connected in harmony... - Description of the wall art onsite. Seen at Keauhou Shopping Center - Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Hawaii.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Years!
2014 was a crazy year for me with lots of travel, wonderful surprises, some setbacks & sorrow but a good year. Here is to an awesome 2015!
Previously edited but a revisit to rework some noise compensation and color work. Enjoy!
They all came rom Temu. I'm loving the radio. I think it's just perfect for the market. Althea also has new rubber boots. Other new inventory includes milk jugs and a case of Coke.

I have known Pono for the last 30 years during which time she has worked in my garden. There was a time when she simply disappeared for several years but then she reappeared like magic when I needed her most. She is a deaf mute and one of the brightest and most perceptive people I have ever met and she has very green fingers. She also has a fine sense of the dramatic and usually tells us some or other story of murder and mayhem when she arrives on a Thursday. Her stories are transmitted via handsigns and great gestures of drama - think of silent movies with exclamatory noises added.
I made the printable from photos I found online. I'm pretty pleased with it. The packet labels are mostly from the forties with a couple from the fifties, but the flavors were all available in 1941-42.

Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Photographed at a roadside pull off at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Nēnē are frequently sighted near this area due to people dumping rice and other food scraps in order to attract them. Unfortunately, this leads to the alteration of their diet and behavior, even causing death when they get hit by cars.
"The Nēnē is an inhabitant of shrubland, grassland, coastal dunes, and lava plains, and related anthropogenic habitats such as pasture and golf courses from sea level to as much as 2,400 m (7,900 ft). Some populations migrated between lowland breeding grounds and montane foraging areas."
"The Nēnē could at one time be found on the islands of Hawaiʻi, Maui, Kahoʻolawe, Lānaʻi, Molokaʻi, Oʻahu and Kauaʻi. Today, its range is restricted to Hawaiʻi, Maui, Molokaʻi, and Kauaʻi. A pair arrived at the James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge on Oʻahu in January 2014; two of their offspring survived and are seen regularly on the nearby golf courses at Turtle Bay Resort." (Wikipedia)
"In 2019 the Nēnē population was estimated at 3,252 and the species was Federally down-listed from endangered to threatened. While this did remove some of the protections guaranteed by the Endangered Species Act, conservation efforts continue throughout Hawai‘i and Kaua‘i. Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge leads several of those efforts." www.fws.gov/story/2022-12/plight-nene
Update to status of the Nēnē:
"A 2022 population survey estimated that there are 3,862 nēnē statewide."

Ponos
Fotografija PONOS je nastala 19 novembra 2009 predvece. Slikao sam sa Zvezdare. Razdaljna od mene do hrama je iznosila 2700 metara. Na fotogrfiji se vidi hram svetog Save.
Hram svetog Save je najveći srpski pravoslavni hram, najveći pravoslavni hram na Balkanu i jedna od najvećih crkava na svetu. Podignut je na mestu za koje se smatra da je Sinan paša 1595. godine spalio mošti svetog Save, osnivača Srpske državnosti, kulture i pravoslavne crkve. Izgrađen je u srpsko-vizantijskom stilu, sa četiri zvonika visoka 44 m. Visina vrha kupole iznosi 70 m, dok je glavni pozlaćeni krst visok još 12 m, što vrhu hrama daje ukupnu visinu od 82 m, a nadmorsku visinu od 134 m (64 m iznad nivoa reke Save).
Zbog toga ova crkva zauzima istaknuto mesto na beogradskom horizontu i vidljiva je sa svih prilaza gradu.Hram zauzima površinu od 3.500 kvadratnih metara u prizemlju, uz dodatnih 1.500 m² na tri galerije na prvom nivou. Kupole su ukrašene sa osamnaest pozlaćenih krstova dok se u zvonicima nalazi 49 zvona.Crkva može da primi 10.000 vernika, a na zapadnu horsku galeriju može da stane 800 horista.
Najveće postignuće pri izradnji je bilo podizanje centralne kupole teške 4.000 tona. Ona je bila napravljena na zemlji, a zatim je, zajedno sa pokrivačem od bakarnog lima i velikim pozlaćenim krstom visokim 12 metara i teškim 4 tone, podignuta i postavljena na zidove. Podizanje, koje je trajalo 40 dana, završeno je 26. juna 1989. godine. PONOS Srpskog naroda!

“Of Music Before Everything”
[a digital music column]
By Mr. TRONA
Billy Idol Rides a Pony Pony, Announcing New Project
Not to be outdone by Neil Young's recent keynote SXSW address concerning his high-end Pono digital music project, Billy Idol recently announced a project of his own: Pony-Pony.
In obvious mock reference to Young, and playing off the title of one of his own biggest hits, Pony-Pony was announced Tuesday at the annual Be Your Own Idol fan fest, and is self-described as "an 8-track for the 21st century."
The project wants to bring "the raw quality and grittiness of 8-track tapes back to the masses," first through a reengineered version of the seemingly antiquated technology, and then through "digitized versions of the music from there," according to a press release. "Low-Fi is the essence of the zeitgeist in photography at the moment, and with all the fervent interest in vinyl, we wanted to keep bringing that to music, pushing it to its logical conclusion."
"We're going to fill a hole in music," said Idol, without elaborating, in a Twitter post.
More formally known as Stereo 8, it gained very little traction in Europe, and as record companies sought to reduce the number of formats utilized for its release schedule, the 8-track tape largely fell out of popular use by the early 1980s.
But the Pony-Pony Project sees the format's "weaknesses as its very strengths." "Am I the only one that thinks high wow and flutter are cool things?" asked Idol of a largely confused interviewer from a Reno radio station. Idol was promoting a forthcoming live album release, "When Albatrosses Attack Albatrosses," presumably a contrived title.
Bob Windybottom, chief music and new media analyst for the Windybottom Analysis Group (their motto is, "we sniff out the future for you"), asked "who wouldn't prefer a photocopy of the freaking Mona Lisa? Seriously, no fans of dAdA out there?"
"Ride your pony, ride your pony”
The Pony-Pony Project will be launching on Indiehoho – Indiegogo for dubious, unapproved projects -- sometime in 2015, with vague promises of "magic," although many seem to be little more than pre-launch pranks and are of a highly inappropriate and illicit nature.
"Nostalgia never was what it could be, so get off your ... and with a rebel yell, pledge more, more, more," said Idol via the Psychics Rock Network PR firm.
A complete absence of project details, specifically (and very significantly) regarding the tech itself, didn't stop the 8-Track Tape enthusiast community -- who have, for instance, published zines on the subject of their obsession for years -- from showing some interest and enthusiasm.
"It sounds to me like Billy is just having a laugh," said James Burnett who runs The 8-Track Tape Museum in Dallas (eighttrackmuseum.com). "But if he is serious, I wish him all the best."
"Ride your pony, ride your pony, Ride your pony come on, come on," said Whip Lash Smile, who runs a Billy Idol fan site, in a late night message left on this reporter's voicemail, quoting the famous single. "Mony Mony, feel all right, I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what must be done."
Juan de Jamón, Pony-Pony spokesman, stated -- in a brief interview via zen-like Tweets -- that "everyone knows that magic doesn't exist, unless you're talking about music," adding, rather cryptically, "tag, you're it!"
The Blair Witch is Back!
Just when theatres seemed safe from The Blair Witch (although like reality TV, it may sadly never really leave, courtesy, for instance, myriad dreadfully derivative, so-called horror flicks), she's back. Marilyn Manson, after taking the helm of the soundtrack for the critically-acclaimed sequel, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, is being given complete artistic control over the next installment of the franchise, reportedly a prequel.
Manson is set to not only direct the project, but produce, star in, and yes, create the soundtrack, too. The tentative title is Blair Witch Beginnings: a Delirious, Visionary, and Mysterious Mansinthe Nightmare (a project thought by many industry insiders to be little more than a 2-hour infomercial for the rock star's brand of Absinthe).
"Everyone who attends a screening will receive complimentary Mansinthe, plus they'll also get a copy of both the movie and the soundtrack as they exit courtesy Google Inject (™)," said Manson. "The files are to be delivered, with a Chrome-based GUI, by a small needle inserted into the brainstem, and then this experience can be available for you anytime and forever!"
"Dr. Benway, the Medical Director for the project, will personally supervise administration at the first screenings in Hollywood," said a press release. "Medical personnel under contract from the project, and trained by Benway, will be available at all other showings."
RIAA Issues Apology, Cash Settlements
In a surprise move, the RIAA on Tuesday apologized "to the world, or certainly anyone who listens to music," and promised checks to back it up, according to a statement issued by the organization offline via its recently launched, "cutting edge" String and Can Publicity Services Network ©®℠?™. "We apologize for our dumb ... behaviour, and would like to formally invite music fans of the world to forgive us."
The move comes as a surprise to Bipeds everywhere, although a statement issued by the Society for a World Dominated by Ferociously Feral Felines strongly protested the first part of this sentence.
Guy Montag, former fireman and President of RIF (Reading Is Fundamental), who is the current unofficial Guru for the RIAA, asked consumers in a prepared statement to "add up every song you've ever heard, regardless of the medium with which they were encountered -- CD, MP3, Spoofify, your partner singing in the shower, whatever -- multiply that by -$3.23, and submit the number, no matter how ridiculous it may seem, to: RIAA, NY, NY. Trust me, we'll be in touch!"
Montag was not immediately available to comment on this story, but Frank, a one-eyed, middle-aged man who wears a bunny outfit and stalks the (imaginary) ComputorEdge office in El Paso, Texas, flatly stated: "you can print the ... thing, roll it up and stick it ... and that will make it all more accurate, newsworthy, and, frankly, better. Did you see what I did there?! I said Frankly. WHOO!" [Editor's note: even though he apparently cannot seem to locate us, and we're uncertain if he's actually literate, or whether or not he lives FT in this dimension, we fear for our lives should we choose not to print his occasional rantings. We appreciate your understanding, and possibly even your HELP.]
The Rite of Bieber
Justin Bieber, who gave the world the gift of his announced retirement last Christmas, is evidently back. Bieber and "three drunk guys from Venice Beach," presumably members of his entourage, have recorded a "Bieber Shop Quartet" rendition of Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps. When reached for comment, Stravinsky Zombie retrieved a violin, played something from Histoire du soldat, according to witnesses, and proceeded to eat the reporter. I'll be reviewing the digital release in an upcoming column, unless of course a PHA (Potentially Hazardous Asteroid) smashes into us first, bringing about an end to the world as we know it (in which case, I'll feel fine fine fine fine fine fine fine... yeah). Thank you. Please don't litter.

I found the perfect cigar box here: www.printmini.com/printables/boxes/cigarboxp.html I just had to shrink it down a little. I added the cigars.
Mini Maryellen is glad she shopped when she did. There are plenty of firecrackers left, but not many sparklers. One box has even come open.
I am visually cataloging my watches...I rarely wear this watch mostly because I don't like the watch band and I have never changed it out. But, framed this up with one of my black and white surfing photos from Oahu. The watch is made in Honolulu and the artist specializes in koa wood watches, jewelry and other stuff.
Althea took her to Pono's to look for new shoes, but alas there were none to be found. Hopefully we will remedy that soon. I suspect they are kindred spirits.

Althea and Bethella decided that with only one hen they should stock up on eggs. Of course, a trip to Pono's Market was in order. Pono's carries only farm fresh eggs of the highest quality. Bethella is still waiting for shoes. For some reason I can't decide what color to make them. Indecision is the worst enemy of completing a project.
