Perspective! This poem is not what it seems at first glance. It was written by Chanie Gorkin, an 11th grader from Brooklyn, New York. Read it from top to bottom - then bottom to top, you'll see what I mean. Go out and have a good day!

Police Officers are people too, a good woman.

Bravo ! Why doesn't main stream media show more of these stories? This is an inspirational story that may encourage another person to go out and help solve a community problem. Instead we are bombarded with negative news constantly. ( another rant, for a different post)

Well done, young woman...may you be a leader and inspiration for others.

I just wanted to post an update on the Hokulea and Hikianalia World Voyage. At present they are halfway through the voyage having left the Cook Islands and heading to American Samoa.

Attached is a link to KHON2 News to view videos of the different stops on their journey and a link to track the double-hulled canoe's voyage to date.

Even though most of us will never experience an adventure like this, it is always exciting to live vicariously through the eyes of these explorers. Enjoy.

To add a positive note to today's forum...the famous voyaging canoe Hokule'a and her sister vessel Hikianalia left Oahu yesterday at sunset for "Malama Hounua", a three-year voyage around the world to spread a message of global sustainability and the importance of caring for our oceans. The voyagers will be navigating without any modern instruments. They will use the stars, the ocean currents, wind and birds as mapping points for direction, just as the original Polyensians used thousands of years ago.

God bless this crew on their adventurous journey with much success.

... I always wanted to draw and paint well, but my drawing skills lack. There is some real talent shown in these videos. I'm amazed how they create murals at these immense sizes.
