A farmer works in his field as the Mount Soputan volcano spews volcanic ash, in Minahasa on Indonesia's Sulawesi Island on Aug. 14. An Indonesian official raised the alert status to the second-highest level, level III, also named Siaga, after the Soputan volcano spewed ash to a level of 1200 meters.

A picture taken in Minahasa on Indonesia's Sulawesi Island early on Aug. 15, shows the Mount Soputan volcano spewing volcanic ash and lava.
Reading the entire piece from the Jakarta Post feels like looking at a sports page for a volcano league, as there are activity levels and stats mentioned for a number of volcanos scattered throughout Indonesia. I would think the stress for residents in the area must be pretty extreme at times.
The Jakarta Post reports:
...observers recorded that Mt. Soputan had experienced several tremors, noting that the volcano spewed blazing material into the air several times and disgorged a flow of lava about 500-750 meters to the west of the crater.

Well here's another thing O can blame for his failed presidency.
But the people would much rather blame you. What, did you think searching for WMDs was free? Guess again, now pay up or shut up.

"The Story of O"
Another magnificant display of mother nature and the real world. Did I mention the REAL WORLD? Not the voodoo drug inticed illusion's of the unseen.
I THINK I KNOW HOW TO SAVE PLANET EARTH FROM RUNAWAY GLOBAL WARMING!
I think I know how to save planet Earth from runaway global warming, by basically using "fire to fight fire". In this case we will endeavor to work in cooperation with Mother Nature in order to cool the Earth down. Normally the sulfur laden gases from the eruptions of normal volcanoes do not make it very high up into the stratosphere, but if we can use giant mirrors in Earth orbit to focus sunlight on the rising plumes from these erupting volcanoes around the planet, then we can hopefully heat the sulfur laden gases from these erupting volcanoes enough to cause these sulfur gases to rise high up into the stratosphere where they can remain for as long as a decade or so. These sulfur gases in the stratosphere will then block the sunlight and cause the Earth to cool down. It is also possible that we could convert solar energy to microwave energy in Earth orbit, and then use this focused microwave energy to heat the sulfur laden gases from these erupting volcanoes as well. - Rick Carter
(PS - Originally, I was thinking of using nuclear weapons to do this, but the danger of spreading radioactivity worldwide would probably be too great.)
The program is hilariuos and exciting, i want to receive continuous world news and other information about everything that's happening internationally.Please keep me posted and updated if there's any need to subscribe or anything please dont hesitate to inform.
please stoppppppppppppppppppppppppp.....your killing mother earth......keep it up,,heat the atmosphere with microways...mama will bit back//
