A wise rapper once said, "watch who you let in your crew / cause when them niggas fall off / they gonna bring you down too". Of course, if anybody ever paid attention to those lyrics, hip-hop would be a totally different animal than it is today. Instead, it sucks, because even the handful or so of actually talented artists, nevertheless continue to put their boys on. Eminem's got D12, Jay-Z's got Memphis Bleek, Nas has Bravehearts, and the list goes on and on and on. One might think that an artist that is so talented would be able to plainly see right in front of his face that his friends simply do not have what it takes to "get on", but still, temporary meal-tickets are handed out in the name of nepotism. And hip-hop suffers because of it.
Roc C is the latest rapper to be in the right place at the right time – that is, signed to Stones Throw and produced entirely by Oh No – and not-so-coincidentally also hails from Oxnard, CA (the same hometown as Madlib, Oh No, Declaime, etc). Roc is blessed with a sixteen track LP produced by Madlib's younger brother, Oh No, with All Questions Answered.
Don't get it twisted, Roc is hungry, he wants this shit bad. He's been through some shit; he's rough around the edges; you can hear it in his voice. But if only that same hunger was applied to what he is actually saying, which isn't much of anything at all. Poor metaphors, a curse-heavy, rushed delivery, and an occasional channeling of Lloyd Banks' flow make the majority of Roc's verses come off as uninspiring or gimmicky (very uncharacteristic of a Stones Throw record). "Hear Me Now" adopts its hook from a Verizon commercial, delivering a blase trio of verses over an otherwise decent Oh No track. The same can be said for the apathetic "Fuck You", which more or less sums up Roc's attitude in three minutes. Regionally aimed tracks like "Ghetto" (NYC) and "Dirty Dirty" (down south) attempt to adapt Roc C to any market possible, both coming off messy and one-dimensional.
It's shame for Roc that he allowed a supreme lyricist like Chino XL anywhere near his album, as on "El Capitan (Remix)", Chino murders him on his own shit. Even Oh No, who is a producer before he is an emcee, takes the spotlight on the marching "Don't Stop", a beat that might have benefited much more provided better emcees were attached to it. After nine tracks, Roc C attempts to get serious and show off his lyrical prowess on "Let's Battle", but sadly never delivers the amazing rhymes he promises before the first verse begins. The painful "R.O.C." is just….oh, what's the point?
Call it a fluke. It's the only explanation for such a dynamic label that has released classic records from the likes of Madlib, J. Dilla, PBW, MF Doom, Rasco, and others, not to mention houses a batch of strong up and coming talent (Oh No, Aloe Blacc, Georgia Anne Muldrow). Roc himself asks at the beginning, "Who is Roc C, anyway? How the hell is he on Stones Throw, anyway?" Unfortunately, the answers to these questions aren't worth seeking out.

Just because the info is old does not mean its not correct, but you asked for help and you got your answers that the drive you want will cause you headaches, is not used for continues read / write and there is no speed increase and is not good for use in a PS3, but you said money is not a problem for you, get it and when your drive dies you can get another one. Good Luck to you.

12/16Gb PS3's have FLASH ROM. Not an SSD.
There are many technical differences between them, even tho SSD use flash rom technology, they are different in many ways. But its too much to explain. Google can help you out with that.
You are also misunderstanding... SSD performance, DEGRADES OVER TIME with constant read/writes and even deletions. this is due in part to the PS3 not having the necessary Trim and Garbage Collection support in the OS's firmware, regardless if you update the firmware in an SSD(which only benefits such on a PC anyway).
With a hdd, drive performance degradation takes longer. And with the PS3's OS having drive indexing, you can completely fill up the hdd with data and performance will not be affected. (Not like previous Operating System technology where the more data is on a hdd the slower PC's become)
And if you download games from the PSN, you'll NEED at least 50GB free space because you need double the space of the actual games size in order to download it, and then install, then the games install file will be deleted. The largest I've seen required is about 30Gb total.... A game being 15Gb to download the install file, and then another 15Gb for the actual game to be installed.
And for those who are more technically inclined.... a 120Gb SSD, is actually about 90Gb of total storage after formatting and the PS3's OS takes up about 12% of drive space for drive indexing....

New York artist Donald Lipski has won a chance to create the most visible public art in Scottsdale at the site of the Scottsdale Waterfront, a source close to the selection process has confirmed.
The official announcement will be noon Tuesday during a public art program meeting, but one of the four artists who applied for the commission said that Lipski had won.
"Of course, I really wanted to do it," Rhode Island artist Brower Hatcher said. "But I did not get it. . . . It's Donald Lipski."
Hatcher said Margaret Bruning, associate director for the Scottsdale Public Art Program, told him the news Friday.
Scottsdale Waterfront project director Brett Sassenberg and a public art program official would not confirm the information.
Lipski said Friday he was feeling "excellent" and said "thank you" when congratulated on the commission, but he would not comment further, saying the officials in charge of media relations want to "keep control" of the story.
Bruning said the official announcement about the commission would follow a presentation to the Scottsdale Public Art Commission. The commission could also give some feedback during the meeting about the artwork, she said.
For weeks, officials have been poring over the artists' proposals for the commission, worth about $700,000.
Lipski and the others submitted their proposals for the Waterfront in November. The art will be located on the southwest corner of Scottsdale and Camelback roads in front of P.F. Chang's China Bistro.
Lipski proposed a 30-foot-tall kaleidoscope made of three mirrors facing one another. The outwardly visible part of the mirrors would look like giant doors propped against each other.
Pedestrians would be able to walk inside the "Scottsdale-O-Scope" and see thousands of tiny reflections of themselves.
"It's the sort of thing that driving by in the car, you'll really get a large charge out of it," Lipski said in November. "It's going to be so compelling, people will want to just come back over and over again."
Lipski originally proposed the idea at the city's planned municipal complex on McKellips and Miller roads, but he lost out to competitor Dennis Oppenheim, who also submitted a proposal for the Waterfront commission.
Lipski's other public art art includes the Denver Public Library's "The Yearling," a 20-foot red chair with a horse on top of it. His work also has been on display in front of the White House, Central Park and the Grand Central Terminal in New York.

|by Mr Credit Card
In February, our family was in Breckenridge in Colorado skiing. Mrs Credit Card hurt herself and actually tore her ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in her right knee on the last day of our ski trip. She was taken to the ski's medical center where she was given a set of crutches and some exercises to do before she sees a doctor back home. While she was there, she paid her co-pay and was told there may be an additional bill and to watch for it in the mail.
And for an update, Mrs Credit Card has had her surgery and all is well (as in the surgery went well) and she is doing her physical therapy now.
Just two days ago, I got an "automated call" from the medical center in Colorado saying that we are "late" on the medical bill and that we had to send it within 5 days. I actually panicked a little because I hate to pay my bills late and the last thing I need in today environment is to get a ding in her credit report. But we keep and check our mails diligently and do not recall seeing any bill from the Colorado Medical Center!
So yesterday, Mrs Credit Card called them up and she paid via credit card over the phone (hey what do expect from us!).
Then today, I got the bill in the mail!!! What the F%^& is going on? Their billing department gives us a call telling us we are late before we even receive the bill in the mailbox! The greatest joke is that there was no due date stated on the bill!
The reason I'm ranting over this is that I've had a bad experience with hospital's billing practices before. Back in 2005, I went to visit a doctor in Lankanau Hospital. We are moved house shortly after. The next time I went back, I was told that I had not paid my bills! Uh! Turns out they have been sending it to the wrong address and they were about to send the bills to collections! I paid up right away!
I do not know about you folks, but I find that bills from hospitals and insurance companies are really messy. Half the time you do not understand what you are paying for. Many times (in my experience anyway) they have problems sending you the bills and stuff like that. Not paying these bills on time make it really easy for your credit score to take a hit without you realizing it. I mean, how could you be late if you have not received your bill?
Anyway, please share any such stories that you have. Is this just an oddball case, or is it more common?
Roundups – Haven't done this in a while. But several posts have caught my eye. Money Beagle is traveling less now and is using up his dormant frequent flier miles.
Credit card issuers have raised rates on plenty of folks in the last year or so. This just caught up with Mrs A who saw her rates rise on her Discover Card. She went through a meticulous process of figuring out her next move. She has updated her situation here.
Finally, congrats to Lulugal who is finally credit card debt free (well sort of). Read her post to find out.

|Microwave Technology in Pharmaceutical Industry
|Life Sciences - Life Science Article

Microwave is apparently heading for exhibiting good potential in the field of Pharmaceutical industry. The write up attempts to throw light on what is microwave, how is it generated and what importance may it have.

Microwave heating refers the use of electromagnetic waves ranges from 0.01m to 1m wave length of certain frequency to generate heat in the material. These microwaves lie in the region of the electromagnetic spectrum between millimeter wave and radio wave i.e. between I.R and radio wave. Microwave, which has gained recent popularity, has a great potential in pharmaceutical industry. Waves are generally of two types Electromagnetic waves and Mechanical waves. The main point of differentiation is electromagnetic waves do not require a medium for transportation, as required by mechanical waves.1, 2 Microwave is generated in special type of electron tubes. These contain cathode, anode and grid inside an evacuated envelope. For generation of microwaves these should operate at very high frequency range (300 - 3000 MHz). Ordinary electron tubes can operate at frequencies up to about 30 MHz. So the tubes must be designed in a different manner, because the frequency is comparable to the electron transit time (it is the time needed for electrons to travel between electrodes). 3.4.5 Microwave is a type of electromagnetic wave whose wavelength range falls in between Radio waves & Infrared waves as shown in Table

Style: Grappling & Lifting--
I wonder how all this would work with invisalign? I had normal braces when I was in high school so I'm not sure - and considering how much some people train I'd have to imagine it'd be difficult when your 'braces' pop in and out and you can't go all of too long without them. Anyone know?
At this point I'm just curious.

|Further details
The chalet is situated between the old village and the new village. There is a small supermarket in the old village and in the new village a boulangerie, very good butcher, supermarket, hairdresser, bars and restaurants. Both a few minutes walk.
The Valais region
The winter skiing season lasts from approximately mid December to mid April. This is variable from year to year. The high altitudes & glaciers of Verbier can be reached there & back in a day by a good skier, where the snow may last longer. The region is famous for its extensive vineyards growing down in the Rhone valley - the largest in Switzerland. This valley is very fertile with extensive fruit & vegetable production - apricots in particular below Veysonnaz.
In summer & autumn the adjacent valleys, Val D'Herens & Val de L'Annivers are fun to explore, with villages perched precariously on mountain ledges and spectacular roads though tunnels & across ravines. Across the Rhone,in the Bernese Alps, bare & rocky, can be found lakes and secluded areas which can be reached by driving though massive tunnels blasted through the rock.
Sion, the oldest town in Switzerland, has expanded over the years but in the area below the 2 castles are found cobbled streets & medieval houses. There are also art galleries & museums. It is possible to fly direct to Sion during the winter months from Stansted airport.
In Martigny there is the Foundation Pierre Gianadda art gallery.
A huge benefit of this area is that sunshine is guaranteed for over 300 days of the year. Situated between 2 mountain ranges it is considered the driest area in Switzerland.
Veysonnaz old village is a charming alpine village overlooking the Rhone valley & Bernese Alps. The new village was built later around the ski station which is part of the 4 valleys ski area which includes the large resort of Verbier. During the winter season it is possible to ski, do giant slalom, snowboard, participate in snowblade competitions, ski safaris, nightime torch descents, walking on snowshoes Ski school is available for both adults & children. Paragliding can also be arranged.
In summer the area is idyllic for a number of activities, all of which provide endless opportunity to take in the amazing scenery of both Veysonnaz and the surrounding Valais region. There are over 300km of well marked walking routes. Many of them are on gentle slopes, the 'Bisses', which were the irrigation channels mostly built centuries ago. Many opportunities for more testing walks & mountaineering in the area.
Mountain biking over 70 km terrain broken into 5 different routes. There are 6 golf courses in the area. Paragliding & horse riding are also available.
During the last weekend in June visitors can enjoy the traditional "cow fights" & the yearly ritual of the farmers moving their cattle to higher pastures. The wild flowers in the meadows during June are beautiful & higher up the mountains in July. It is also an ideal place for artists, photographers & botanists.

Thanks for the advice fatbloke I'll definitly use it
"What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away". Tom Waits.Oh, and here's some blog stuff!
The rotten eggs smell goes away after a week or 2. I would go by and shake the hell out of my carboy several times a day to offgas CO2 and the sulfur compounds. After a couple weeks it will start to smell like honey again. Mine is 6 months in and getting very clear now, and no trace of sulfur compounds.
Oh yeah i took care of it with your first reply the smell went away shortly after i added the nutrients
If you listen to podcasts, there's a good one from beersmith where they talk about staggered nutrient additions with the head brewer at moonlight meadery.
I wanted to get these blue swing top bottles for my champagne mead, would these tops handle the pressure? http://www.heartshomebrew.com/index....oducts_id=1113
Would throwing raisins in to it help out for nutrient instead of step feeding?

Penny Launcher
See more activities in: Third Grade, Physical Science
Help your young scientist explore how a lever works by launching pennies across the kitchen. Who knew science could be so fun?
What You Need:
- Two rulers
- Masking tape
- Two fat markers or highlighters
- Pennies or buttons
What You Do:
- Before you get started, move anything that might break or spill when pennies start flying through the air.
- Explain that a lever helps you move an object farther than you could without one. A lever works when a bar moves over a pivot point called a fulcrum.
- Tape one highlighter to the table top, near the edge of the table. The highlighter is your fulcrum.
- Lay a ruler on top with the fulcrum in the center. Place a penny on the end of ruler, and launch it by pressing down on the other end. Ready for takeoff!
- The longer the lever, the more force is applied to moving the object. More force means more energy and more distance that the penny will travel.
- Have your child tape down the second fulcrum and position the ruler. Make sure the fulcrum is in a different place on each one. Now fire two pennies. Which one went farther? Why?
Experiment by shifting the lever on the fulcrum. How does this affect how far the penny flies? What difference does it make when you launch a nickel or a quarter?

Gear Review
Perfect liner glove!
Nick Chope
Member since
I use these under some thin softshell gloves for everything from ski touring to ice climbing to cold weather mountain biking. Basically, if my hands are cold in my gloves, I put these on (and they are thin enough to fit under almost other glove) and my hands are never cold anymore. For me, they add 10-15 degrees of comfort.

|This year I've had the worst luck w/hollyhocks. I had a nice plant that was about to bloom - had full buds - and then died before blooming.
Any advice on growing, varieties to grow...I love these old-fashioned flowers.
Follow-Up Postings:
|I tried them for a couple of years. They grew very tall and attractive but they were Very suseptable to rust. Perhaps multiple sprayings of fungasides would have helped but I doubt it. It is just so humid here. And then there is the wind and heavy rain on the lush growth. Unless you stake every plant with secure strong stakes, they will get knocked down.

|Thanks Chas. I think mine did better when we had a drought.

|There are some perennial forms that seem pretty resistant to rust and leaf miners but they only come in pale yellow or very pale pink. They also get very big and kinda dominate whatever flowerbed you put them in. Locally I have only seen them for sale at Plant Delights in Raleigh.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|This article is outdated. (January 2014)
Part of a series on the
|History of Hawaii
|American Hawaii
|Hawaii portal
The human history of Hawaii includes phases of early Polynesian settlement, British arrival, unification, Euro-American and Asian immigrators, the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, a brief period as the Republic of Hawaii, and admission to the United States as Hawaii Territory and then as the state of Hawaii.
The earliest settlements in the Hawaiian Islands are generally believed to have been made by Polynesians who reached Hawaii using large double-hulled canoes. They brought with them pigs, dogs, chickens, taro, sweet potatoes, coconut, banana, sugarcane, and other plants and animals.
Several theories describe migration to Hawaii. The "one-migration" theory suggests a single settlement. A variation on the one-migration theory instead suggests a single, continuous settlement period. Several "multiple migration" theories exist. One variation suggests that the original migration could have been followed by settlers from the Marquesas Islands, and then later by Tahitians.
Numerous accounts describe possible landings by Europeans, Chinese and others long before the arrival of Captain Cook; however, none have been documented with certainty.
On January 18, 1778 British Captain James Cook and his crew, while attempting to discover the Northwest Passage between Alaska and Asia, encountered the islands, surprised to find anything so far north in the Pacific.[1] He named them the "Sandwich Islands", after the fourth Earl of Sandwich. Members of this expedition described the population of the islands as abundant, handsome and healthy. It is now estimated that more than one million people inhabited the archipelago at that time. Unfortunately the British brought many new infectious diseases to the islands, in particular tuberculosis and venereal diseases that quickly propagated through the locals.[2]
In 1786, seven years after Cook, a French frigate arrived in Hawai'i and reported that most of the islanders were very sick. By 1832 only 130.000 remained.[2]
Kamehameha I united the islands into a single kingdom for the first time in 1810 with the help of foreign weapons and advisors. The monarchy adopted a flag similar to the one used as the present flag of the State of Hawaii, with the Union Flag in the canton (top quarter next to the flagpole) and eight horizontal stripes (alternating white, red, blue, from the top), representing the eight major islands.
In May 1819, Prince Liholiho became King Kamehameha II. Under pressure from his co-regent and stepmother, Kaʻahumanu, he abolished the kapu system that had ruled life in the islands. He signaled this revolutionary change by sitting down to eat with Kaʻahumanu and other women of chiefly rank, an act forbidden under the old system—see ʻAi Noa. Kekuaokalani, a cousin who thought he was to share power with Liholiho, organized supporters of the kapu system, but his forces were defeated by Kaʻahumanu and Liholiho in December 1819 at the battle of Kuamoʻo.[3]
In 1815 the Russian empire affected the islands when Georg Anton Schäffer, agent of the Russian-American Company, came to retrieve goods seized by Kaumualiʻi, chief of Kauaʻi island. Kaumualiʻi signed a treaty making Tsar Alexander I protectorate over Kauaʻi. From 1817 to 1853 Fort Elizabeth, near the Waimea River, was one of three Russian forts on the island.
In the early kingdom, Protestant ministers convinced Kamehameha I to make Catholicism illegal, deport French priests and imprison Native Hawaiian Catholic converts.
In 1839 Captain Laplace of the French frigate Artémise sailed to Hawaii. Under the threat of war, King Kamehameha III signed the Edict of Toleration on July 17, 1839 and paid $20,000 in compensation for the deportation of the priests and the incarceration and torture of converts, agreeing to Laplace's demands. The kingdom proclaimed:
That the Catholic worship be declared free, throughout all the dominions subject to the king of the Sandwich Islands; the members of this religious faith shall enjoy in them the privileges granted to Protestants.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Honolulu returned and Kamehameha III donated land for them to build a church as reparation.
In August 1849, French admiral Louis Tromelin arrived in Honolulu Harbor with his ships La Poursuivante and Gassendi. De Tromelin made ten demands to King Kamehameha III on August 22, mainly that full religious rights be given to Catholics, (Catholics still enjoyed only partial religious rights). On August 25 the demands had not been met. After a second warning, French troops overwhelmed the skeleton force and captured Honolulu Fort, spiked the coastal guns and destroyed all other weapons they found (mainly muskets and ammunition). They raided government and other property in Honolulu, causing $100,000 in damages. After the raids the invasion force withdrew to the fort. De Tromelin eventually recalled his men and left Hawaii on September 5.
On February 10, 1843, Lord George Paulet on the Royal Navy warship HMS Carysfort entered Honolulu Harbor and demanded that King Kamehameha III cede the Hawaiian Islands to the British Crown. Under the guns of the frigate, Kamehameha stepped down under protest.[4] Kamehameha III surrendered to Paulet on February 25,
- Where are you, chiefs, people, and commons from my ancestors, and people from foreign lands?'
- Hear ye! I make known to you that I am in perplexity by reason of difficulties into which I have been brought without cause, therefore I have given away the life of our land. Hear ye! but my rule over you, my people, and your privileges will continue, for I have hope that the life of the land will be restored when my conduct is justified.
- Done at Honolulu, Oahu, this 25th day of February, 1843.
- Kamehameha III.
- Kekauluohi.[5]
Gerrit P. Judd, a missionary who had become the Minister of Finance, secretly sent envoys to the United States, France and Britain, to protest Paulet's actions.[6]
The protest was forwarded to Rear Admiral Richard Darton Thomas, Paulet's commanding officer, who arrived at Honolulu harbor on July 26, 1843 on HMS Dublin. Thomas repudiated Paulet's actions, and on July 31, 1843, restored the Hawaiian government. In his restoration speech, Kamehameha declared "Ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono", the motto of the future State of Hawaii translated as "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness."
Dynastic rule by the Kamehameha family ended in 1872 with the death of Kamehameha V. After the short reign of Lunalilo, the House of Kalākaua came to the throne. These transitions were by election of candidates of noble birth. Princess Ka'iulani tried very hard to prevent her country from becoming part of the United States.
American Protestant missionaries settled in Hawaiʻi at the beginning of the 19th century and quickly gained influence and wealth. They prohibited local traditions they disliked, like the hula or surfboarding. Reverend Amos Starr Cooke, who arrived in 1837, set up a school to educate the future monarchs. When one of his pupils rose to the throne, Cooke was appointed unofficial adviser to the king in 1843 and from this position devised a land reform that allowed foreigners to purchase land from locals in order to plant sugarcane. Cooke and other missionaries became big landowners and sugar producers, and got control of the economy.[2]
The Reciprocity Treaty of 1875 between the Kingdom of Hawaii (explicitly acknowledged as a sovereign nation) and the United States allowed for duty-free importation of Hawaiian sugar into the United States beginning in 1876. This further promoted plantation agriculture, which was in the hands of foreign Whites. Hawai'i ceded Pearl Harbor, including Ford Island (Hawaiian: Mokuʻumeʻume), together with its shoreline and four to five miles of land adjacent to the shore, free of cost to the U.S.[7] The U. S. demanded this area based on an 1873 report commissioned by the U. S. Secretary of War. Native Hawaiians protested the treaty on the streets until the revolt was suffocated by U.S. marines.[2]
The treaty also included duty-free importation of rice, which was by this time becoming a major crop in the abandoned taro patches in the wetter parts of the islands. This led to an influx of immigrants from Asia (first Chinese, and later Japanese) needed to support the escalating sugar industry and provided the impetus for expansion of rice cultivation. Water needed for growing sugarcane resulted in extensive water works to divert streams from the wet windward slopes to the dry lowlands.
In the late 19th century the dominant White minority overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom and founded a brief Republic that was finally annexed by the United States.
In 1887 members of the American white minority, which held most of the important government positions by that time, founded the Reform Party (also known as the Missionary Party) and an armed militia, the Honolulu Rifles.[2] That same year, the Honolulu Rifles and a group of cabinet officials and advisors to King David Kalākaua seized the royal palace and forced the king to promulgate what is known as the Bayonet Constitution. The impetus was the frustration of the Reform Party with growing debts, the King's spending habits and general governance. It was specifically triggered by a failed attempt by Kalākaua to create a Polynesian Federation and accusations of an opium bribery scandal.[note 1][9] The 1887 constitution stripped the monarchy of much of its authority, imposed significant income and property requirements for voting, and completely disenfranchised all Asians.[8]:20 Three fourths of the votes were assigned to whites, which included all American residents thanks to a special rule from the U.S. State Department.[2]
Native Hawaiians felt the 1887 constitution was imposed by a the foreign population because of the king's refusal to renew the Reciprocity Treaty. The treaty now included an amendment to permit the US Navy to establish a permanent naval base at Pearl Harbor on Oʻahu. According to bills submitted by the King, foreign policy would include an alliance with Japan and supported other countries suffering from colonialism. Many Native Hawaiians opposed a US military presence in their country.
A plot by Princess Liliʻuokalani was exposed to overthrow King David Kalākaua in a military coup in 1888. In 1889, a rebellion of Native Hawaiians led by Colonel Robert Wilcox attempted to replace the unpopular Bayonet Constitution and stormed ʻIolani Palace. The rebellion, known as the Wilcox rebellions, was crushed by the Honolulu Rifles.
When Kalākaua died in 1891 during a visit to San Francisco, his sister Liliʻuokalani ascended the throne. Queen Liliʻuokalani called her brother's reign "a golden age materially for Hawaii".[10]
According to Queen Liliʻuokalani, immediately upon ascending the throne, she received petitions from two-thirds of her subjects and the major Native Hawaiian political party in parliament, Hui Kalaiʻaina, asking her to proclaim a new constitution. Liliʻuokalani drafted a new constitution that would restore the monarchy's authority and the suffrage requirements of the 1887 constitution.
In response to Liliʻuokalani's suspected actions, a group of European and American residents formed a Committee of Safety on January 14, 1893. After a meeting of supporters, the Committee committed itself to removing the Queen and annexation to the United States.[11]
United States Government Minister John L. Stevens summoned a company of uniformed US Marines from the USS Boston and two companies of US sailors to land and take up positions at the US Legation, Consulate and Arion Hall on the afternoon of January 16, 1893. The Committee of Safety had claimed an "imminent threat to American lives and property".[note 2]
The Provisional Government of Hawaii was established, led by Sanford Dole, to manage the Hawaiian islands between the overthrow and expected annexation, supported by the Honolulu Rifles White militia group.
Under this pressure, Liliʻuokalani abdicated her throne. The Queen's statement yielding authority, on January 17, 1893, pleaded for justice:
The Provisional Government sent members of the Missionary Party to Washington to negotiate the annexation treaty, which was signed on February 14, 1893. President Benjamin Harrison, who had just lost the presidential elections, promptly submitted it to the Senate for ratification but then an envoy from the deposed Queen arrived in Washington and made the case that the dethroning and annexation were illegal.[2] Senators opposed the ratification of the treaty and president-elect Grover Cleveland commissioned an investigation into the events of the overthrow that was conducted by former Congressman James Henderson Blount. The Blount Report was completed on July 17, 1893 and concluded that "United States diplomatic and military representatives had abused their authority and were responsible for the change in government."[12] In the meantime the Leper War on Kauaʻi was suppressed by Provisional Government troops.
Minister Stevens was recalled, and the commander of military forces in Hawaii was forced to resign. Cleveland stated "Substantial wrong has thus been done which a due regard for our national character as well as the rights of the injured people requires we should endeavor to repair the monarchy." Cleveland further stated in his 1893 State of the Union Address[13] and that, "Upon the facts developed it seemed to me the only honorable course for our Government to pursue was to undo the wrong that had been done by those representing us and to restore as far as practicable the status existing at the time of our forcible intervention." Submitting the matter to Congress on December 18, 1893, after provisional President Sanford Dole refused to reinstate the Queen on Cleveland's command, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee under chairman John Morgan continued investigation into the matter.
On February 26, 1894, the Morgan Report was submitted, contradicting the Blount Report and finding Stevens and the US troops "not guilty" of any involvement in the overthrow. The report asserted that, "The complaint by Liliʻuokalani in the protest that she sent to the President of the United States and dated the 18th day of January, is not, in the opinion of the committee, well founded in fact or in justice."[14] After submission of the Morgan Report, Cleveland ended any efforts to reinstate the monarchy, and commenced diplomatic relations with the new government. He rebuffed further entreaties from the Queen to intervene.
Fears grew among the Hawaiian Whites of a US intervention to restore the legitimate kingdom. A Constitutional Convention began on May 30, 1894 and the Republic of Hawaii was declared on July 4, 1894, American Independence Day, under the presidency of Sanford Dole.
In the 1895 Counter-Revolution, a group led by Colonel Robert Nowlein, Minister Joseph Nawahi, members of the Royal Household Guards and later Robert Wilcox, attempted to overthrow the Republic. The leaders including Liliʻuokalani were captured, convicted, and imprisoned.
|The neutrality of this section is disputed. (May 2011)
In March 1897, William McKinley succeeded Cleveland as President. He agreed to a treaty of annexation but it was not approved by the Senate because petitions from the islands indicated lack of popular support. A joint resolution was written by Congressman Francis G. Newlands to annex Hawaii.
In 1897 the Empire of Japan sent warships to Hawaii to oppose annexation.[15]
McKinley signed the Newlands Resolution which annexed Hawaii, illegally in the opinion of annexation opponents, on July 7, 1898 creating the Territory of Hawaii. On 22 February 1900 the Hawaiian Organic Act established a territorial government. He appointed Dole as territorial governor. The territorial legislature convened for the first time on February 20, 1901. Hawaiians formed the Hawaiian Independent Party, under the leadership of Robert Wilcox, Hawaii's first congressional delegate.

Sugar plantations in Hawaii expanded during the territorial period. Some of the companies diversified and came to dominate related industries including transportation, banking and real estate. Economic and political power was concentrated in what were known as the "Big Five" corporations.
Pearl Harbor was attacked on 7 December 1941 by the Empire of Japan, triggering the United States' entry into World War II. Most Americans had never heard of Pearl Harbor, even though it had been used by the US Navy since the Spanish-American War. Hawaii was put under martial law until the end of the war.
In 1954 a nonviolent revolution of industry-wide strikes, protests and other civil disobedience transpired. In the territorial elections of 1954 the reign of the Hawaii Republican Party in the legislature came to an abrupt end, replaced by the Democratic Party of Hawaii. Democrats lobbied for statehood and gained the governorship from 1962 to 2002. The Revolution also unionized the labor force, hastening the decline of the plantations.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Hawaii Admission Act on March 18, 1959 which allowed for Hawaiian statehood. After a popular referendum in which over 93% voted in favor of statehood, Hawaii was admitted as the 50th state on August 21, 1959.
For many Native Hawaiians, the manner in which Hawaii became a US territory is a bitter part of its history. Hawaii Territory governors and judges were direct political appointees of the US president. Native Hawaiians created the Home Rule Party and seek greater self-government. Hawaii was subject to cultural and societal repression during the territorial period and the first decade of statehood. Along with other self-determination movements worldwide the 1960s Hawaiian Renaissance led to the rebirth of Hawaiian language, culture and identity.
With the support of Hawaii Senators Daniel Inouye and Daniel Akaka, Congress passed a joint resolution called the "Apology Resolution" (US Public Law 103-150). It was signed by President Bill Clinton on November 23, 1993. This resolution apologized "to Native Hawaiians on behalf of the people of the United States for the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii on January 17, 1893... and the deprivation of the rights of Native Hawaiians to self-determination." The implications of this resolution have been extensively debated.[16][17]
Akaka proposed what is called the Akaka Bill to extend federal recognition to those of Native Hawaiian ancestry as a sovereign group similar to Native American tribes.[18]

Murder by Contract
1958. USA. Irving Lerner. 81 min.
1958. USA. Irving Lerner. 81 min.
1958. USA. Directed by Irving Lerner. Screenplay by Ben Simcoe. With Vince Edwards, Philip Pine, Herschel Bernardi. Vince Edwards plays a Melvillian contract killer who executes his assignments with ruthless, Zen-like efficiency, using any potential weapon at hand, while still finding time to take in the tourist sites around town. Unsurprisingly, his fatal flaw is his wary distaste of women, particularly the one he's hired to kill. Irving Lerner's perversion of the postwar American Dream—Claude wants to settle down in a humble riverside cottage, and sees his line of business as the swiftest means to that end—resembles the tarnished aspirations of so many Nicholas Ray and Martin Scorsese antiheroes. Indeed, Scorsese dedicated his 1977 film New York, New York to Irving Lerner, citing as influences the film's spare guitar score by Perry Botkin, high-contrast black-and-white cinematography by Lucien Ballard, and lean storytelling by Ben Simcoe (and an uncredited Ben Maddow). 81 min.
