drudge is linking to a story thats just coming out...the canadian navy reports:
A volcano has erupted on a tiny island off the coast of Yemen, spewing lava and ash hundreds of feet into the air, a Canadian naval vessel near the island in the Red Sea reported Sunday. Ken Allan, a Navy spokesman, said a NATO fleet just outside the territorial waters of the island reported seeing a "catastrophic volcanic eruption" at 7 p.m. local time. [1900 yemen time = 1100 cdt] The two-mile-long island is about 70 miles off the coast of Yemen. The closest ship, the HMCS Toronto, is heading toward the island.

[W]e are witnessing the truth of the ancient wisdom axiom: "As Above So Below, As Within So Without." In a nutshell, as we see our emotions boil over-the-top, so shall we see the core of the earth mirror our outbursts of anger. You think "road rage" has us concerned, you ain't seen nothing yet when you piss off Mother Nature!
in december 2006 mr. harper warned coast-to-coast am listeners "about what he believes is a devastating solar flare event coming in 2012 that will cause Earth's icebergs to melt, massive volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and planetary magnetic pole reversal, as well as general chaos and widespread panic."
this is sorta related to lloyd stewart carpenters theories about an upcoming 'polar shift.' mr. carpenter says that the magnetic field will reverse at the same time the poles shift by the poles shifting he means that the earth will flip-flop. north pole will become the south pole and vice versa. there is a clip of mr. carpenter's january 2006 radio interview with jeff crouere in related posts below.
radio netherlands Monday 01 October 2007 16:01 UTC:Volcanic eruption on Yemeni island
Jabal al-Tair - Four soldiers have died in a volcanic eruption in Yemen. They were buried under molten lava. An unknown number of people are missing. The eruption took place on the tiny island of Jabal al-Tair in the Red Sea, 140 kilometres from mainland Yemen. It's not clear how many people were present on the island, which is used as a maritime checkpoint. The Yemeni authorities say the eruption was preceded by a number of tremors.

And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. ~ saint john the divine

alexandria, louisiana from terra server
today the town talk published a your mail from david l wallin of new llano, [vernon parish] louisiana "Quotes need explanations" in it mr wallin points out that the city already has a sports arena its called the rapides parish coliseum and to add insult to injury the city has recently barred access from the north to the proposed downtown sports arena. wallin asks...does this make sense?..."...the city permanently blocked off a one-block segment of North Third Street, only three blocks away from the Riverfront Center, that will prevent direct access to the center from U.S. Highway 71 to the north."mr wallin ends his letter by stating..."I'm sure both projects discussed will be completed..." this is where we differ and walling adds..."at what cost to the taxpayer?" well we certainly agree with him again, there.all things considered the city council as well as the citizens of rapides parish should rethink changing the momentum from a sports arena to a downtown red river pier. think of the times we live in, we arent even going to discuss terrorism when one can consider looming natural disasters instead...what would we do if an earthquake happened, a storm, volcano(s) somewhere, what if the rivers and tributaries became the safe way to transport supplies and people? what are we going to do if theres no gas supply? or the supply isnt steady? theres no where for boats to tie up downtown if they had to. they couldnt even stop over at alexandria to gas up. we need a pier downtown at the river. so, while we are always up for a good time we have to consider the ominiousness of the times and do we really need more bread and circus's?oh we still havent changed our minds that a downtown sports arena is just a pretense for a slushfund anyway. thats where we have a difference of opinion with mr wallin. we seriously doubt that a sports arena will ever be built,we predict that the only people that stand to make money here are a myriad of architects; engineers; surveyors; consultants at the end the city wont have either a sports arena or any money. what the city will have will be a very pretty architectural drawing...heh====

the dow settled lower than it opened today. thats not a bad sign on cleco though because the day will be far more remembered as the day the sec filed a civil fraud complaint against goldman sachs and that news drove the market down plus the volcano overseas...
