Pele is awake

AT least now, the ad agencies have stopped filling various web pages with advertisements for Hawaii and the islands. They do that, you know. track your websites and give you advertisements that fit those web pages. Every time i went to Big Island Video News, the advertisers thought I was moving there or in Hawaii. Some of those ads got a little unusual.

Now what I get are bathroom conversions and ceiling fixtures and for some reason bacon bits?

I can deal with Bacon Bits if they're made with the real thing!

Unless I make the bacon bits the only ones I ever see are kosher and you know what a kosher bacon bit is. . .

A kosher bacon bit in a jar sold in almost every supermarket, that's what!

A kosher bacon bit is an oxymoron.

It is like climbing on a fir tree without scratching your butt. (Yes, I know the proper saying is "have your cake and eat it too" but this one is more colorful description )

There was a field just beginning in Chemical Engineering when I went to college that I had no interest in pursuing. It was biologically based and dealt with things like "mouth feel" and the lecithin-cholesterol cycle, and other biological systems.

If a piece of somewhat cooked and hardened vegetable oil that has the same saltiness to the tongue, the same crunchiness to the teeth, and the same spread of oil across the tongue that is associated with the animal fat of bacon, then the mouth perceives BACON.

Think about it as why do we toast bread for certain sandwiches and why do we use soft rolls for certain sandwiches? The "texture" or "bite" of a substance and the way that the oil spreads out over the tongue is something definable. And that is how one makes a "kosher" bacon bit -- no bacon at all -- just hydrolyzed vegetable oils and salt.

BTW - I like the fir tree translation.

Recent Kilauea Status Reports, Updates, and Information Releases HAWAIIAN VOLCANO OBSERVATORY DAILY UPDATE

U.S. Geological Survey

Tuesday, April 28, 2015 7:53 AM HST (Tuesday, April 28, 2015 17:53 UTC)

This report on the status of Kilauea volcanic activity, in addition to maps, photos, and Webcam images (available at

http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/activity/kilaueastatus.php

), was prepared by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO). All times are Hawai`i Standard Time.

KILAUEA VOLCANO (VNUM #332010)

19°25'16" N 155°17'13" W, Summit Elevation 4091 ft (1247 m)

Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH

Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE

Activity Summary:

There was no significant inflation or deflation at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano. The summit lava lake remained at a relatively steady level about 3-4 m (10-13 ft) below the Overlook crater rim, but briefly reached the rim this morning during a period without spattering. Seismicity beneath the summit and the upper East and Southwest Rift Zones is elevated. At the East Rift Zone eruption site, widespread breakouts are active within about 8 km (5 mi) of Puʻu ʻŌʻō.

Summit Observations: There was no significant change in tilt recorded at Kīlauea's summit over the past day. The lava lake level was generally about 3-4 m (10-13 ft) below the Overlook crater rim (i.e., the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu Crater), but also fluctuated to slightly deeper and shallower levels, depending on the vigor of spattering in the lake. The lava lake reached briefly to the rim this morning, during a period when all spattering stopped, but did not get quite high enough to overflow onto the Halemaʻumaʻu Crater floor. Seismicity is elevated beneath Kilauea's summit and upper East and Southwest Rift Zones. Sulfur dioxide emission rates averaged 3000-5200 tonnes/day for the week ending April 21.

Puʻu ʻŌʻō Observations: The tiltmeter on the north flank of Puʻu ʻŌʻō recorded weak deflation over the past day. Otherwise, there were no noticeable changes at Puʻu ʻŌʻō. The sulfur dioxide emission rate from all East Rift Zone vents was about 850 tonnes/day when last measured on April 21, 2015.

June 27th Lava Flow Observations: Webcam views of nighttime incandescence and daytime smoke indicate that surface flows remain active northeast of Puʻu ʻŌʻō. The most distant activity was burning forest about 8 km (5 mi) northeast of the crater when mapped on April 23.

We are so excited about this, my neighbor and I are going to go visit Lava National Park Tuesday next week to see it. EXCITING YES?

Moi, are you taking notes?

Hey, RiverLava

Who do you trust?

From what I read, the crater over flows. <doom> <doom>

A lake of lava on Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has been rising over the past week and, at times, overflowing in a spectacular show.

The last time molten lava was visible in the crater was in 1982 when a fissure erupted. The last time there was a lake was in 1974.

When dealing with news - always trust locals and common sense.

For sure, the lava lake is overflowing into this big pit of a crater, I will post more Tuesday as I am going to take a first hand look.

Will you take some hot dogs, or marshmallows, or maybe make some s'more on hot rocks ?

Janet Babb, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, said Thursday that this is the first time lava from this vent has come into view from a public platform within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on Hawaii's Big Island. . . "

Is this the end? For "the big island" I mean.
