Where It is only 25 to 35 miles an hour, School bus had his or hers stop sign out going westbound, And he was going in the direction of Kapolei, he did not stop once again. His siren was not on, so there was no emergency. After that, he continue changing lanes illegally without using his blinker and driving recklessly speeding in the direction of kapolei, question 1 does hpd have a right to go against the laws that they're here to enforce without any emergency lights on or siren is not going off, Nonemergency calls, sirens are not necessary and speeding is not either, Question 2 how do you expect the public to comply to laws that your own police officers are breaking? During non-emergency times. Question 3 why doesn't he have to stop at the school bus stop sign? Like everyone else has to. Question 4 is Honolulu Police Department officers allowed to use their cell phones while they're operating a vehicle, I am emailing this to the mayor and my city an state officials that represents my community because that type of behavior does not belong on our roads, especially by a law enforcement personnel, Who is here to enforce the laws not break them,

My house got broken into, of course it really was my fault since I forgot to close the garage. But…read morestill I shouldn't have to be afraid in my house, so I called the police to make a report and I The 911 operator was awesome she calmed me down and sent someone right away. The police officer that came to my house was awesome. Not only did he listen to everything I said and wrote it down, he helped me pick up the stuff that had been scattered around and he even helped me stack the rubbermaid containers that had been taken down. Being a former military police officer I didn't expect them to take prints b/c of the type of containers, since they have a rough surface wouldn't print. But, he noticed one of my containers was smooth, he said I think I can get prints off of this one. Unfortunately he didn't have the stuff he needed to take the prints so he called for another officer to come out. He stood there with me and calmed my nerves quite a bit, told me that I wasn't stupid and it happens. Just from now on make sure I close the garage. He also talked to me a lot about where to go in Hawaii to have fun with my children since we haven't been on the island very long. After printing the container, he packed up and told me that if I needed anything not to hesitate to call them back and also if I noticed anything else was missing to just call and tell them. I really appreciated how much better I felt knowing that the two officers whose names I can't remember right now are patroling my neighborhood. They took the time to actually make me feel like they cared and gave me some great tips on things to look out for in the area as well as where I will want to live once my lease is up. This week I received in the mail a follow up letter from the Detective that has been assigned my case. I'm not expecting that they will find the jerks that took my stuff based on the prints they took of the container. However, as criminals always do, they'll screw up and I am confident that the officers in this area will catch the bastards!! A SPECIAL THANKS THE THE WAIANAE BRANCH OF THE HPD for making me feel welcome here and safer than I felt that awful morning, your job is often thankless so you should know that there are people out here who appreciate what you do everyday.

I enjoy visiting temple ruins throughout the islands so I can learn about Hawaiian ancestors. So…read morefar, I have visited about a half dozen temples on the island. Yesterday, we made the drive to see Ku'ilioloa Heiau on the west side of Oahu. The temple is on a little peninsula in Pokai Bay within a recreational beach park. A plaque describes the temple. The temple is dedicated to the dog kapua (spirit). Ceremonies at the temple were made to protect travelers of land and sea. The temple sits at the point of peninsula where magnificent panoramic views of the ocean meet the land. A rectangular foundation of volcanic rock remains prominent. An offering of flowers and a coconut has been left at the site. People were fishing off the rocks in front of the temple. The setting is beautiful and a perfect spot for meditation. The site is maintained by the Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation. The is plenty of free parking in the lot of the park and a restroom facility within the park.

The following historical account about Ku'ilioloa Heiau was written by Bud Hardwick in 2009:…read more "The south end of Pōka'i Bay is formed by Kaneilio Point, a sharp pointed peninsula that seems to challenge the ocean itself as it juts out into the sea. On this slender finger of land studded with swaying coconut palms you will find the remains of a fascinating historical site. This is the location of Ku'ilioloa Heiau which served different functions during the 1,000 years that it has been in use. Without question, the daytime view from the end of the peninsula is tremendous; one can see far up and down the coast and countless ridge tops are visible. Keeping an eye out for friendly traders or marauding war canoes would almost certainly have been one of the first functions of this site. Possibly its first sacred use was as a place of refuge. In the Hawaiian Kapu (taboo) system of laws, many offences were punishable by death. The simplicity and clarity of this seemingly harsh system was tempered by the prevalence of "places of refuge" where accused violators could remain in safety while less violent and less permanent punishments could be negotiated. As you wander out to the point, notice how the less protected water of the south side of the peninsula has carved intricate forms into the native rock headland. Here you'll find numerous frothing "blow holes" which spew spray and thunder from the sea. At the seaward most tip of the point, you'll see evidence of ancient and modern practices. The outlines of brown-black lava rock indicate only a small part of the structures that once dominated this spot. Though the original structures have been badly damaged by man and the elements, this is still a sacred site. If you look among the rocks and stones of the tidal area, at the very end of the peninsula, you will find modern memorials to loved ones, whose ashes have been spread into the sea from this point. One of the primary functions of the Heiau has been its use and dedication to the protective spirits of those traveling by land and sea. It is this connection with distant travelers that connects the site with the figure of Pōka'i, The Navigator. Recorded in legend and song; Pōka'i was reputed to have been a voyaging chief of Kahiki who is credited with bringing the versatile and valuable coconut palm to the Hawaiian People. Coconut palms dotting the peninsula are only a small reminder of the great grove of coconuts that lined the back shore of the entire bay and provided shelter and a vast array of materials for the village. This grove was considered sacred and was known as "Ka Uluniu o Pōka'i." Not just of legend, it was an obvious feature that was noted by western sailors of the 1700s. The location of this site, distant from the steep mountains and home fires of dwellings would have made it an ideal Navigation Heiau. From here, specialist in astronomy could study the stars and celestial features. Possibly predicting seasons and events, most certainly learning the star maps that would guide them across seemingly featureless oceans. Pōka'i means "night of the supreme one" and one can only imagine the daring and bravery of these earlier seafaring people, whose navigation ability continues to astound modern sailors. Pōka'i Bay, a place of beauty, safety, and history; where the sea meets the land and the past meets the present." #Yelp 365: 070/365

It brings back all the pagentry and history of the days long gone to where our Kupuna's once walked the earth. Each pattern has a story of its own, while the mana or the spirit of the creator for each individual pattern resides patiently for a solo quilter to bring forth the creator's beauty and detail work or art.
