"Ua mau ke ea o ka #699;#257;ina i ka pono" is a Hawaiian phrase meaning: "The life (sovereignty) of the land is perpetuated in (by) righteousness," and is the state motto of Hawai#699;i.

The motto was adopted by the Kingdom of Hawai#699;i in 1843, and was used in an address by King Kamehameha III at ceremonies following the return of his kingdom from the British. Hawai#699;i had been ceded to Great Britain by the British captain Lord George Paulet of the H.B.M.S. Carysfort, in response to claims of political abuses against British residents made by British Consul Richard Charlton. After Kamehameha III notified London of the captain's actions, Admiral Richard Thomas returned sovereignty back to the King.

Mella...on our drive home from work we were thinking fondly of you and the adventurer in you. You are such a good example of someone who lives each moment to the fullest. Your thirst for knowledge is only surpassed by your love of beauty. I'm sure you'll be the first lady passenger into outter space!![:X][:X]

Oh yeah - Keep an eye out for something "green." []
