University of Hawaii Football, A Class Act

Posted in on November 25th, 2007

The entire state of Hawaii is experiencing Rainbow fever as the undefeated UH Football team hopes for a major Bowl bid.

The Bows defeated Boise State and laid claim to sole possesion of the Western Athletic Confernce Crown. The win seems to have created a wave of Aloha and everyone, it seems is a fan of this team.

The Boise State game was a chess match with each team trying their hardest to win the WAC championship. There was a lot at stake for this game.

Under the leadership of Coach June Jones, UH has become a virtual powerhouse. There have been a few games that were decided in the last sevreral minutes of play.

With victory easily virtually assured, and only seconds remaining,  the Bows had posession of the ball on the one yard line. Instead of taking the easy score, the coach told the players to just run out the clock. He wanted to show respect to the other team.

Aloha,

A Blue Christmas in Hawaii: 1,200 Christmas Trees Seized

Posted in on November 22nd, 2007

When the Christmas trees arrive in Hawaii from the mainland its always big news. There are newspaper headlines, and television reports. Hawaii residents get excited. Christmas is right around the corner.

Imagine the shock-waves, if you were suddenly told: “No you can’t have a Christmas tree this year.”  It’s almost like the Grinch stole Christmas, once again.

 That is exactly what happened this year when state agriculture inspectors impounded 1,200 Christmas trees.

Christmas Tree

The agriculture inspectors were checking containers of Christmas trees shipped from the mainland when they discovered an invasive species. The culprit was a kind of yellow jacket wasp which could damage the fragile eco-system in Hawaii.

The plan is for the suspected trees to be taken to an Inspection station. Each tree will be individually shaken to make sure there are no live insects on the trees. Last year three containers full if Christmas trees were sent back because they were infested by  needle midges. (An  insect that attacks Christmas trees.)

These trees represent a small sampling of the thousands of trees that are shipped to Hawaii each year. Most of the trees come from the Pacific Northwest.

Hopefully the problem will get taken care of and it won’t be a Blue Christmas in Hawaii after all. Read the rest of the story here.

“Let’s face the truth” explained Albert Grande “if you have a website in Hawaii, you might as well be in Antarctica”.

Grande, creator of pizzatherapy.com, grandepublishing.com and hawaiisecret.com, was discussing the difficulty of driving traffic to his websites.

“Nobody cares, if you are in Hawaii. Sure, Hawaii gets its share of publicity but to really stand out, you need to be buzzworthy. You need to figure out how to get noticed. You have to make some noise and get people to listen.”

“I finally figured it out, with the help of Brett Ingram.” he continued. “Ingram is a master at Buzz Marketing. He created a program called Viral Link Tracker, which not only allows you to systematically track everything you do, but also gives you a way to get out your message through viral marketing.”

“Before  I started using Viral Link Tracker, I was just a nobody, with a couple of websites and blogs in Hawaii.”

“Now” he concluded, “I’m still a nobody, but my websites are geting noticed. I was shocked at the turn around. My traffic is building, my offers are getting out there. I’m making noise and people are listening”.

“Blame it on Viral Link Tracker“.

This web tool,  which is free, will allow you to create cloaked links, track everything you do and as well as create your own viral traffic machine.

Grande says”This isn’t the best Internet marketing tool at what it does, it’s the only tool that does what it does.”

Create your own buzz. Go check this out right here, now.
