The Warrior Beat
Stephen Tsai knows University of Hawai'i sports, down to the last decimal of a 40-yard dash. He's lived UH sports since 1987. Few reporters get the inside information like he does. What Tsai writes is a daily must read.

McMackin to chat at 3 p.m.; the house UH softball parents built

Please join us at 3 p.m. for an online chat with Greg McMackin.
A separate post will go up at about 2:55 p.m.
To be fair, we're requesting that readers wait until their question has been answered before posing a second question.
Leila Wai will be the director of content.
Derek Inouchi will serve as the on-site producer.
And I'll assume my usual role as (self-)promoter.

* * *

As legend has it, Paul Durham, who was UH's athletic director at the time, noticed there was construction on the Lower Campus. He asked what was going on. He was told they were building what was the original UH baseball stadium.
The tradition of quiet, but effective work, continues, this time in UH softball.
Led by the father of second baseman Richie-Anne Titcomb, the players' parents built what amounts to a small condo underneath the first-base stands at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium.
The three-room structure has a cooking area, an entertainment room (complete with a newly installed wide-screen TV), and a training room.
There's central air-conditioning.
One of the rooms offers a field-level view.
Best of all, it came at no cost to the university. Richard Titcomb's construction company donated the supplies and built the structure.
In two weeks.
Former UH men's volleyball coach Alan Rosehill donated the wood flooring.
The parents cook and prepare the post-game spread.
Again, at no cost to the university.
Well, except for the electricity.
Maybe the softball program should be the example when UH looks for ways to complete the third-floor wing.

* * *

Speakling of promotions, the Little Learners Preschool is having a fund-raising concert April 6 on the campus grounds in Kailua.
Ledward Ka‘apana will be the featured performer.
Robert Kekaula is the tentatively scheduled emcee.
Your blog host will be passing out door prizes.
Tickets are $10 each; it's $5 each for ages 5-12.
There will be food, drinks and auction items.
Call Wena at 382-5263 for details.
(Little Learners is now accepting applications for students ages 3 and 4.)

Good Morning!

I've been put in charge of coordinating Exhibitors for the 1st UH Warrior Football Coaches Clinic April 19. I have as of this moment TWO booths available, the rest are booked. Since its the first year and the decision to have exhibitors was made relatively late, only a select group of 10 exhibitors will be invited this year. (we're trying not to double up on any services..next year,we can do it bigger!) If you or someone you know has a product or service relavent to high school or youth level football or coaches, or even a product that just needs exposure relevant to this age group, please email me and I will send out an exhibitors package. I will start a waiting list in the event anyone does not commit/pay by the deadline. This is a great way to get exposure to all the coaches around the islands. Its a one day event, easy set up, no hassles. Not big and fancy this year, simple and casual, lunch provided by UH for all exhibitors.

I used to love Sesame Street, but its been about 15 years since I watched it!

Now that I'm remembering back, at your college graduation, who spoke? Some senator, President or other famous individual? Well at mine it was Kermit the Frog. Yes, its not easy being green Kermit. Jim Hensons daughter graduated the same year as me, so we got Kermit. Actually, it was probably a lot more fun that most speakers! At homecoming that year, Miss Piggy drove a Cadillac and Kermit drove a Corvette around the stadium. Oscar the Grouch sat in the press box. I had a very weird college experience! hahaha

Gigi - While Taxi's are always a consideration in Japan, your various rail options work best because everything creepy crawls on streets and hiways in and around Tokyo.

Because of inflation, I doubt if you'll even find any rural perfectures anymore that have 1,000 Yen places where you select all your veggies, and then your meat, and finally your favorite sauce to "Wok" it in.

Time to trade in the Gigi fashion look? Don't forget to shop the Garment district.

You & Hubby want to get the latest electronic gizmo or games? Spend some time in the electronics district of Akihabara. You will be amazed, really.

Another fantastic day for the Tsai-ko Ohana! Good morning all!

Gigi, I've been following along on your up-coming trip. May I suggest that you take out your digital camera and take clear pictures against a good background of all your important documents...passports, ID's, itinerary, birth certificates, citizenship papers (if applicable), and the contents of your wallet (credit cards, etc). Download the pictures to a thumbdrive that stays with you at all time...preferably around someones neck...thiefs would love to get ahold of information like this. If anything is stolen or lost, you have a copy to report the event to authorities. Not many of us memorize our CC numbers! I've heard some people say that they attach the pix to email and send to their internet account, but that's too risky for me. I do send it to my Army Knowledge Online account because it's a secure server and that serves as my backup.

BTW, be sure you have the PIN for your credit card in case you need a cash advance. ATM's are supposed to give you the best current exchange rate.

With all the helpful advice from the Tsai-ko's, you're bound to have a great trip. "Expect the best, but prepare for the worst"

Wena,
My wife has a killer recipe for chicken stew. Want me to email it to Stephen?

So, don't forget Mack's chat today.
And, after that, go to the softball stadium to see the Rainbow Wahine play New Mexico State in the final game of the series.
Kate Robinson is pitching.

Wena - is that the same thing as a "slow cooker"?

Here's a website with several ideas: http://www.slowandsimple.com/

You can click on a recipe and see comments.

From what I've seen already, we have the makings of a killer Tsaiko cookbook. Eh, Wena...interested in fund raising?

Midori7,
Hi. I didn't know you are my neighbor too. I never met you or your mom yet. Maybe one day, huh?
I'm interested in the stew recipe. That is one of my favorite.


BG,
I don't eat lobster, but thanks for the offer.

DPK,
Yeah, I am interested in the chicken stew.

Please e-mail Steve all those recipes. I'm sure he loves getting e-mail.

I'm going to try that corn beef briskette. Sounds good.


Thanks everybody.

Mein Gott. I LOVE lobster. Cook that buggah in buttah. The Sopranos cookbook has a keen recipe. Ono.

Rich,
Thanks for the tips on slowcooker. I'll go check it out.

BG,
I didn't know you guys are having a Tsaiko cookbook. I have to ask Steve about that. Does he know?
I don't go on the blog everyday, so I probably missed it. As for fundraising, I want to see the book first, ok?
