何てきれいな日なんだ!!

No2コートから海の方向を眺め全く雲がなくきれいなブルーの空と緑色の木々がフェンス越しに見えこんないい景色の中でテニスができるなんて感謝感謝!! ワイキキが雨でもカピオラニ・コートに雨が降っていないことがよくありテニスプレーヤーのための場所なんだとどんな時も感心しています。こんなきれいな景色が見えるとボールを打つことを忘れてしまう時があります。ミスショットの言い訳では、ありませんナァンテ!!
It's great view with blue sky and palm trees from #2 court we can play just next to this view that's grateful. If it's raining in Waikiki but KP court doesn't have rain sometimes so this is for tennis players here,yeah:) I gape at this view and forgot to hit ball. It isn't excuse about a missed shot hahaha:)

From Charles

Tennis authorities are looking into a match involving Caroline Wozniacki, the United States Open runner-up, because of a surge in betting. Wozniacki retired from the match at the Luxembourg Open with a hamstring injury Wednesday while leading Anne Kremer, 7-5, 5-0. Wozniacki’s father, Piotr, told her at 3-0 in the second set to retire before winning because her injury would keep her from playing in the next round. His comments were heard by Internet viewers, and there was a surge in online bets for Kremer to win.

Thank you, Chizuko.

October 27, 2009 Where's my hero, Hiro(Ben)????

We asked Tom how the other guy is. He wouldn't say, but that he had an altercation with something or somebody!!!!
Help, Hiro(Ben) I need to learn how to rotate the pictures. Until then, everybody twist your neck off its ringes. Tom really was standing up straight.

本当のシャワーのよう

カピオラニ公園いたる所にあるシャワーツリーです。4月頃から11月頃までが花の最盛期 満開に咲き誇りシャワーの水滴のように花がツブツブツブと溢れ出ています。この花は、赤に近いピンクですが天皇陛下が植樹されたのは、レインボー・シャワーと呼ばれ虹色の花が咲き揃う種類です。公園の中に色々な色があるのでシャワーツリーの種類を数えて歩くのもいいものです。

The line on climate change (2) Sustainable Society SS

It is not a scribble on the side walk. Students statewide were literally drawing the line on climate change. Using blue chalk, thousands of students from over 30 schools statewide were drawing a line that indicates the risk of flooding with a 1-meter of sea level rise.

They are asking global leaders to reduce carbon dioxide emission to below 350 ppm (parts per million) in the atmosphere when they negotiate a new climate treaty this year. See visit blow for more details.

The line on climate change, Sustainable Society SS

The map shows the areas at risk from flooding with a one meter sea level rise. The Blue Line Project highlights HI vulnerability to climate change.
Across the state, students sought to raise awareness of the effects of rising sea levels.If scientists' predictions are accurate, Hawaii's coastline is in danger of catastrophic flooding if greenhouse gas emissions continue at the current rate.On Saturday, a hoard of students took to the streets of Moiliili with blue chalk to map where the water level could reach on Oahu's shore if the sea level were to rise one meter."You think of Waikiki and the economic engine that it is -- of our coastlines, our refineries, sewage treatment plants, our reef runway -- this is all at risk if the ocean continues to rise," said Jeff Mikulina, of the Sierra Club.According to Mikulina, the enemy is greenhouse gas, which he described as a thickening blanket around the Earth."As the earth gets warmer, the Antarctic melts, Greenland melts, and this contributes to the sea level," Mikulina said.The Blue Line Project's mission is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere, and took place across the state at 18 different locations with the help of students and teachers.McKinley High School was one of more than 30 that worked to raise awareness."People have to change their mentality of this problem," said Bradley Suda, a McKinley High School student. "If you don't really believe in it, how can you wholeheartedly make a difference?"Many of the students who participated were members of "going green" clubs at their schools, and said they hope the lesson lasts longer than the chalk.
