Tsunami Warning Big Island February 27 2010
I just added another link right under this description to NOAA’s page where you will find information about the dynamics of a tsunami…Please continue to keep everyone in Chile and Hawaii (and anywhere else in the world experiencing tragedy) in prayer. I am certain we are going to continue to see an increase in these events. If you already know the LORD please try to share your faith at every opportunity and if you don’t know Him yet, please call out to Him while He can be called on, we all have an appointed day to depart. We don’t know when that will be, call on HIM (Isaiah 55:6, Deuteronomy 4:29, Hebrews 9:27).
This video is of our attempt to see any changes in our coast line from 5000ft up on side of volcano on February 27th, 2010…
The VOG was actually too thick between us and the coast line for us to see anything.
So I have attached a couple of links to learn about VOG here also:

Sovereignty Sunday pt3
Security High At ‘Iolani Palace Event
Native Hawaiian sovereignty groups gather peacefully
By Suzanne Roig
Advertiser Staff Writer
Native Hawaiian groups tested the state’s new rules governing ‘Iolani
Palace yesterday during their annual Sovereign Sunday event.
No one was cited and no one was arrested, but more than 20 state
Department of Land and Natural Resources enforcement officers were on hand
to ensure that a group of Hawaiians followed the rules.
The officers stood in a cluster while a variety of Hawaiian groups
occupied the Diamond Head makai corner of the palace near the Pohukaina
burial mound. Most were there to honor their culture and recognize the
start of the January 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy.
One of the groups, Sacred Times and Sacred Places, comes to ‘Iolani Palace
each month to care for the burial mound.
Officials removed three canopy tents erected by the groups, but did not
touch the Hawaiian flags, information displays or chairs or tables that
had been erected.
“We tried to be culturally sensitive, but we have our jobs to do,” said
Guy Chink, a DLNR O’ahu Branch manager who led the enforcement team. “We
will issue a citation to the owner of the tents and if no one claims
ownership then the tents are considered found property.”
No one claimed the tents, and no citations were issued. But there was a
lot of tension.
“In the past 11 years no one in that time has stopped us,” said Baron
Chink, a member of the Sacred Times and Sacred Places organization. “We do
the work here, not DLNR. As far as I’m concerned we are the authorized
ones to enter, not the DLNR. We are not the interlopers here.”
The new rules were adopted after two takeover attempts were made last year
by two separate groups. One takeover occurred in April and a second, in
which the group entered the palace and the ‘Iolani Barracks building, led
to arrests in August. Both spurred the state Land Board to pass new rules
governing the 11-acre grounds. The rules bar unauthorized occupation of
the palace.
The rules also spell out other prohibited activities on the palace
grounds, including harassing palace workers or visitors and interfering
with the public’s use of the premises.
Under the new rules, no more than 25 people are allowed to gather, no
banners larger than a specific size can be erected and no tents are
allowed on the grounds without permits. Overnight camping also is not
allowed.
The officers were on hand yesterday because of concern that there would be
a large demonstration on the palace ground, said Kippen de Alba Chu,
Friends of ‘Iolani Palace director.
“They did this earlier last week too for another sovereignty group who
wanted to camp there the whole week,” de Alba Chu said. “They are trying
to be consistent with each group and they are there there to make sure the
rules are adhered to.”
“This is still our place,” said Lynette Cruz, a Hawaiian independence
supporter. “Our job today is to remember who we are. We are not here to
take over the palace, but to honor our heritage.”

Hawaii Vacation Pride of America Cruise NCL
We took Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) Pride of America ship around the Hawaiian Islands May 16-23, 2009. What an amazing trip! This very short video shows a recap of this one week adventure in a tropical paradise.
Starting in Honolulu, we travel to Maui, Hilo and Kona on the big island, Kauai and back to Honolulu. From ziplining in the mountains, snorkeling in a coral reef, watching steam from the top of volcanoes, seeing lava flow into the ocean, fire dancing at a luau and passing the Na Pali coast, this is the trip of a lifetime.
As if the sights were not enough, the entire crew at NCL and the tour operators at every port have a tremendous spirit of service and aloha. They truly make you feel like family and go out of their way to serve above and beyond expectations.

Hawaii VAcation Connection – Akaka Bill – Episode 368 part 2 -
http://www.hawaii-aloha.com/ – The Akaka Bill is back in the news, having once again passed the U.S. House of Representatives. ( It failed in two previous attempts to get Senate approval but prospects look better for passage this time.) Rather than describe the provisions of the bill, Id like to give you a way to look at the efforts to establish self-governance for Native Hawaiians and what that process means to casual visitors to the islands.
