Sarigan Island in the Marianas – your MVP #4.

I have to hand it to all of you, each time I’ve tried to make the Mystery Volcano Photo a challenge, you beat it with flying colors. The photo is, in fact, of Sarigan in the Mariana Islands (thanks to Dr. Ed Kohut for providing the photo). Eruptions reader Cam got the volcano on the second guess, leaving our current standings at:

MVP Standings
volcanista – 1
Ralph – 1
Elizabeth – 1
Cam – 1
everybody else – 0

Not much is known about Sarigan – it is an island composite volcano in the Mariana Islands. The last few eruptions have produced lava dome and flows, including some that slipped over the rim of the main crater. There are no known historic eruptions of Sarigan, but there is a small pyroclastic cone at the summit, which might suggest it has erupted relatively recently (as in the last few hundred years). The only signs of life at Sarigan were an earthquake swarm in August of 2005.

I have some catching up to do with the volcano news, so look for that later today.

    As I have repeatedly written in one form or other, blogging is not about writing posts. Heck, that’s the least of your challenges. No, blogging is about cultivating a mutually beneficial relationships with an ever-growing online readership, and that’s hard work.

    I’m a writer and I would love to have people’s opinions on my work. Does anyone know any good blogging sites?. Twitter is not a blogging site and the only way people see your work on twitter is if they follow you. Twitter and Facebook are not answers that I am looking for. Thank you for your input..

    Article submission is an extremely powerful process and too be honest I am not sure wether i agree with doing it automatically. My current SEO stratergys for article marketing are fairly simple. I outsouce an article to be written by a professional english writer, the article must contain at least 1,200 words and be of extremely high quality. Next i will submit it to the top 20 article websites based on Page Rank and traffic. After submitting the articles i will then do some basic backlinking and bookmarking to make sure they get indexed by the search engine spiders. I find that doing article marketing this way works extremely effective however i suppose that having the software submit less quality articles to the less dominant websites and then submit to the ones manually that you can’t use a tool for with your quality article because at the end of the day quality backlinks never hurt anyone.

    Personally Im impressed by the quality of this. Sometimes I fav stuff like this on Redit. Although this time Im not sure if this would be best for the users. Ill take a look around your site though and submit something else.

    Hi, So I’m upgrading my laptop computer to Home windows 7 and I really need MS Phrase for homework purposes. I have a Vista Home Premium and I’m switching to Windows 7 Final so I’m conscious that each one files will delete. I backed up all the pieces important. However don’t know how you can again up my MS Word. I NEED MS Phrase ! So once I upgrade how will I get it back? I purchased MS Word Perfect- (Which I used already) and MS Word Pupil (Which I used after reformatting my computer before). I purchased each of them, however how will I get my MS Phrase again when upgrading?
