3 Scoops of Aloha – Pakele Live
October 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment
3 Scoops Of Aloha singing Maui: Hawaiian Suppa Man on Pakele Live!.
Told is the tale of the mischievous one
who fished out all the islands and captured the sun
his deeds and tasks i will unmask
so that you’ll understand
that before there was a Clark Kent
there was a Hawaiian Supaman
He fished out all the islands with a magic hook
there would’ve been more but somebody looked
in blue morning sky, the sun he entwined
to slow down his flight, so kapa could dry
Chorus:
Mischievous, marvelous,magical Maui
hero of this land
the one, the only, the ultimate Hawaiian Supaman
Oh Maui, Maui, Maui, Hawaiian supaman
Oh Maui, Maui, Maui, Hawaiian supaman
The secret of fire was locked somewhere in time
So when the Ahi died in the Hula Kuke, no way to re-ignite
So off he goes in search of those who hold the information
So that fire could be used by all the future generations
He found out the Alae held the fire connection
But his plan of deception fell short of perfection
With no other choice he had to get mean
So he squeezed Alae’s got throat until she screamed the secret.
E hana kou i ka hui
(repeat chorus)

Eddie Wen’ Go: The Story of the Upside-Down Canoe

Eddie Wen’ Go: The Story of the Upside-Down Canoe
In March of 1978, the Hokule`a voyaging canoe set out on its second open-ocean voyage, headed to Tahiti. On board were 17 crewmembers, including one woman, Marion Lyman-Mersereau, and famous North Shore big wave surfer & lifeguard Eddie Aikau.
Hokule`a capsized in rough waters, and the crew spent the night clinging to the canoe. In the morning, Eddie Aikau volunteered to paddle a surfboard to the island of Lana`i, over 10 miles away, to get help.
Spotted by a passing airplane, the crew was rescued 22 hours after capsizing…but no sign of Eddie was ever found.
“Eddie Wen’ Go,” an imaginative new book from Watermark Publishing, written by crewmember Marion Lyman-Mersereau, tells the story of the Hokule`a from the point of view of the ocean creatures who saw the canoe…and shares what they believe happened to Eddie.
This book comes with a companion read-along CD with original musical compositions by Danny Carvalho and narration in character voices.

Free Hawaii iPhone Wallpaper – Kona Sunset Ali’i Drive
October 20th, 2008 · No Comments
Kona is the name of a moku or district on the island of Hawai‘i in the State of Hawai‘i. In the current system of administration of Hawaii County, the moku of Kona is divided into North Kona District (Kona ‘Akau) and South Kona District (Kona Hema). The term “Kona” is also used to refer to its largest town, Kailua-Kona. Other towns in Kona include Kealakekua and Honalo.
In the Hawaiian language, kona means leeward or dry side of the island, as opposed to ko‘olau which means windward or the wet side of the island. In Hawai‘i, the Pacific anticyclone provides moist prevailing northeasterly winds to the Hawaiian islands, resulting in rain when the winds contact the windward landmass of the islands – the winds subsequently lose their moisture and travel on to the leeward (or kona) side of the island. Kona has cognates with the same meaning in other Polynesian languages. In Tongan, the equivalent cognate would be tonga; for windward, the associated cognate would be tokelau.
Prior to the arrival of Captain James Cook in 1778, Kona was the name of the leeward district on each major island.
The volcanic slopes of Mount Hualalai and Mauna Loa in the Kona district provide an ideal microclimate for growing coffee. Kona coffee is considered one of the premium specialty coffees of the world.
Kona is perhaps best known as the home of the world-famous Ironman Triathlon World Championship held each year in October in Kailua-Kona, Hawai’i and is broadcasted worldwide.

October 15th, 2008 · No Comments
N? Mokulua are two islets off the windward coast of O‘ahu in the Hawaiian Islands. They are also commonly known as “The Moks” or the “Twin Islands”. The islets are located a short distance off Lanikai, a neighborhood of Kailua, Hawai‘i and are often photographed. Moku lua means “two islands” in Hawaiian; N? is a definite article that pluralizes a noun; thus, literally, “the islands two”. The larger island is Moku Nui and the smaller, Moku Iki. They are State bird sanctuaries and access is regulated by law. The two islands are very popular to local seafaring persons who have access to a motorboat or kayak, one of the islands contains a “canyon” and a black sand beach.
