The lava flow in Pahoa has slow to a near halt, showing very little change since yesterday.  The flow front remains around 480 feet from the Pahoa Village roadway.  Most of the activity is happening further up from the flow.  Small breakouts 2 miles from the flow front which have moves around 200 yards since Friday.  Mike Poland is from Hawaiian Volcanoes Observatory.  He says the amount of pressure in lava will help to determine, where the breakouts will occur. 

Poland says that the inflation of lava is currently back at the same level as last week, but the pressure in the lava tubes has been low. 

Nick Yee’s passion for music developed at an early age, as he collected jazz and rock records pulled from dusty locations while growing up in both Southern California and Honolulu. In college he started DJing around Honolulu, playing Jazz and Bossa Nova sets at various lounges and clubs under the name dj mr.nick. He started to incorporate Downtempo, House and Breaks into his sets as his popularity grew, eventually getting DJ residences at different Chinatown locations. To this day, he is a fixture in the Honolulu underground club scene, where his live sets are famous for being able to link musical and cultural boundaries, starting mellow and building the audience into a frenzy while steering free of mainstream clichés.
