Impressive eruption at Llaima slowing down

Llaima erupting at night in April 2009.

Brief update for those of you following the somewhat spectacular eruption (above and below) going on at Llaima in Chile. The latest reports indicate the eruption is waning (in spanish) with less ash and explosions (in spanish) being produced. However, ONEMI, the Chilean Emergency Office, continues to keep the area on alert. So far, at least 81 people have been evacuated (in spanish) during the eruptions that gained strength over the weekend and flights between Buenos Aires and Neuquén were suspended due to the ash.

It is interesting to note the apparent lack of english-language coverage of this eruption (although Nature did take the opportunity to continue to drive the point home that, yes, volcano monitoring is not only a good idea, but a money saving one in the grand scheme of things). I suppose the Redoubt eruption has them all occupied, although the Llaima eruption is actually much more captivating so far (volcanologically). If you are looking for more coverage of Llaima, you can also take a look at the excellent reports on the Volcanism Blog.

    Why spend on volcano monitoring, when there are so many other great projects, like saving GM or AIG. Let’s hope that a lahar doesn’t come flying down Mt. Rainier any time soon.

    BTW, great blog. I know nothing about geology, but I’ve spent hours reading every one of your articles. Thanks.

    Return on Investment; as a result email marketing can be so less expensive than different types of marketing, should you USE IT PROPERLY, you will see an astonishing ROI. It can be no longer about ‘spray and pray’ you’ll find it all about getting the mix correct and being highly targeted.

    My mother got fat after my younger brother was born. She had been pretty skinny and to notice herself get excess fat was hard for her. All of her friends told her to diet. She tried very hard with no success for years unfortunately.

    I would also love to add that when you do not already have an insurance policy or perhaps you do not take part in any group insurance, you will well really benefit from seeking the assistance of a health insurance broker. Self-employed or people having medical conditions commonly seek the help of the health insurance dealer. Thanks for your article.

    I don’t post this as a dilemma or anything; I just feel its interesting. Its a set of quotes from the Alinsky book ‘Rules for Radicals’, which is often held up by conservative US bloggers as somehow related to the community organising past of their President. I think they are an excellent practical statement of political realism and political ethics – at least because they DO get explicit about them.

    You are making some excellent points. How does one formulate ideas? Sometimes I find myself like I am not having enough good material to examine and share with my readers.. I honestly never thought of this before you shared. Keep posting man. I absolutely enjoy reading your ideas because consequently they provide me – (and I’m sure your other readers) much to contemplate.

    Shearer was the best centre forward and goalscorer. Bob Moncur was the best defender, closely followed by my favourite defender Philippe 5 NIL Albert. The best player overall was Tony Green. Three or was it two years of pure genius? A fair bit better than Beardsley who was a class act. TONY GREEN is the man.

    Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

    Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

    brightlight, so you dont care what anybody does as long as it doesnt bother you? if everyone had that attitude then the world would be filled with murderers, rapist, federal criminals. reminds me of that poem about the how the person said the nazis came for all these types of people, and i didnt do anything. but when they came for me, know one was left to help.

    A personal reflection: Trying to get insight into future volcanic eruptions has helped develop my patience and humility. Just when I think a volcano is going to do or not do something – volcanoes have done something different.

    Then we go back to “normal” in a very Poltergeist-esque setting: a happy family moving in to a new house, one of the children has an encounter with evil spirits and gets lost on the other side, the parents try to help their kid the best they can, they bring in mediums, of course, and the rest is history.

    Hey Mark! Kathleen and I ran Stumpys too, and enjoyed the race, though it was harder than I had thought it would be. In case you dont remember me, I had on the Boston jacket at the start, and you asked me what year it was Great rock for a medal! Also, we were saved by another dawg, when we started to get lost about mile 15??? No trail markings for about 5 miles or more, nor aid stations for about a 7 mile stretch? Nonetheless, there is a great deal to recommend this fun jaunt in the woods.

Er fragte mich weiter, ob ich denn nur für ihn heute Nacht da wäre oder ob ich mich auch noch um andere Patienten kümmern müsste. Dann fing er wieder an, dieses wunderbare Lächeln aufzusetzen.

I am not able to work because of my disability but I do have a voice-activated computer and I know a lot about computers and the Internet. I want to start a website I do not know about what. I need IDEAS! I would like to make some profit on my website but I do not know how to do that or how to get companies to pay to put ads up on my website. I don’t even know where to go to start my own website. I need lots and lots of help if someone would like to help me out or maybe be partners with me when the website starts making a profit you will get a portion of the profits..

    I have noticed that over the course of building a relationship with real estate entrepreneurs, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in each and every real estate contract, a payment is paid. Eventually, FSBO sellers tend not to “save” the commission. Rather, they fight to earn the commission by simply doing a agent’s occupation. In this, they shell out their money and also time to carry out, as best they are able to, the duties of an realtor. Those responsibilities include uncovering the home by way of marketing, showing the home to willing buyers, creating a sense of buyer desperation in order to induce an offer, arranging home inspections, handling qualification check ups with the lender, supervising maintenance tasks, and facilitating the closing of the deal.
