Live Blogging a Volcano

Yep, we're heading up north to Alaska on Friday to pay homage to my adopted home state. To maintain our residency status we need to travel there a certain amount of time every two years. If flying out on Friday the 13th wasn't bad enough, we're heading to Anchorage, which is right in the path of the soon to be erupting Mt Redoubt.


I've been checking this website out for hourly updates on the mountain's status. I've tried to change our flight, but Alaskan Airlines won't change anything unless they're told to, so we're stuck heading into Anchorage. At this point I'd much rather head to Fairbanks or even Juneau, but I know that won't happen.


I am making sure we're taking along some goggles and masks in our luggage just in case. Hopefully we'll dodge the bullet, but knowing our luck, I predict we'll be stuck in an ash covered hotel for a week or more. Even better, I've been studying this 1950s era safety video on how to survive a Volcano. I think we all have the 'Duck and Cover' technique down perfectly.
......
Sweet, I just found a website called 'Emergency Dude' (Must be a cousin) and it has tips on what to do if a Volcano erupts. God bless the Internet.

I will be impressed if you even leave the airport here in Omaha.
The forecast is calling for Snow, heavy snow at that. New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches. We are also under a Hazardous Winter Weather Storm Watch.
If you do make it out of here be safe in Alaska.

Google plus is doing well on its own and it cannot replace Google because they perform different tasks. Google is a strong search engine while Google plus is a good social platform where people can interact and business can market their products. Through the help of internet and search engines like Google, students can easily hire Case Study Writers.

Run a quick search on Google, and it's easy to see how interest in the term "white paper" has grown -- up from 2.5 million search results to over 65 million in less than 10 years. But many white papers end up generating a less than spectacular response -- a marketing failure a simple change in writing could have helped prevent.
