Hello all,

Thanks for all of the suggestions.  I decided to choose jeronij's waterfall lots because they are the closest I could find to recreate the falls.  It's a bit too wide and hard to tame, but it does have good effects.



After a one and a half mile hike in the Manoa Valley, you'll reach the 150 foot tall Manoa Falls.





At the bottom of the falls are many boulders that have fell from further up the mountains.  The water here flows down the Manoa Valley as the Manoa Stream, all the way down to the Ala Wai Canal in Waikiki, and eventually into the Pacific Ocean.





Until next time, take care!

RickD: jeronij's water generator lots better captured the essence of the falls better than pegasus's lots.
Tomas Neto: Thanks Tomas!
ricardomiranda: Thank you!
Terring7: Heh, better late than never! I hope this update didn't disappoint.  :)

Hello all,

This week, Honolulu is hosting the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.  The leaders, high-ranking officials, and delegates from its 21 member economies have come here to discuss issues ranging from trade to renewable energy.  It is the largest event of its kind hosted here.  The Federal government's goals are to encourage international opportunities in the Pacific rim, and the City and State's goals are to encourage those opportunities here in Hawaii.





What?! No aloha shirts?!   :'(

Understandably, security is tight.  It has inconvenienced residents, businesses, and tourists.  There aren't many connecting roads and thoroughfares in town (and the rest of the island).  Every time a motorcade comes, people have to get out of the way, and sometimes sections of roadways get closed (including the H-1 Freeway).  Thankfully I have not been inconvenienced... yet.  Yesterday I did encounter military personnel in my neighborhood on the way to work.  Today is Veteran's Day, so no work, and not having to deal with potential road blocks.

To my fellow Pacific Rim friends, I hope you're delegations have made the most of their stay and value their experiences time here.

Until next time!
