Obama refused to be photographed with an F-22
The commander in chief didn't want to be photographed with a weapons program he worked to kill. Taking petty to a presidential level.

We've done several segments on this. Numerous hunters calling the show say the lack of deer in the woods is like nothing they've ever seen. This is Wisconsin's version of Climate Gate. Even if Decker can't get anybody fired, an examination of the methodology they used to ridiculously over-inflate the deer numbers in the last decade would be a start.
Hagmann has his critics on the web, but his bona fides seem ligit. This is simply terrifying.
Schedule tentative and subject to change:
8:30-Does Anybody watch CNN anymore?
9:00- A Loyal listener found something REALLY interesting on the Wisconsin Jobs Center website. We'll share it with you.
9:30- A great column on Afghanistan
10:00- to 11 MPS wants to hand out condoms, and a GREAT column on the damage climategate has done to ALL of science.
Et tu, NASA?
Remember this guy?
So, Chris Matthews considers West Point the "enemy camp" where President Obama is concerned? I wonder what makes Chris feel that way? He considers aspiring U.S. military officers as "enemies" of the President? He makes it sound like Obama gave the speech in Bin Laden's cave. Shameful, absolutely shameful.
As Delingpole says, it's not as though you're going to find any of this in the MSM.
Stay classy R., stay classy.
A listener emailed to tell me that they had a buck contest at his workplace, and of the 50 hunters who were in, ONE got a buck, and that was a six-pointer. He wrote to the DNR about how bad conditions are. Below is the response he got from DNR biologist Jeff Pritzl. Please share this with any deer hunter you know. I'm going to do this after 9:00 on Wednesday's show. I plan to read the letter and let deer hunters respond before I weigh in:
Dear Mark, first the answer to your question. At this point the public comment period has closed until the Natural Resources Board takes up the issue at their December meeting in Madison. You can request to make an appearance before the NRB to provide your testimony. I'm including the address to the NRB website. http://dnr.wi.gov/org/nrboard/ This is available on the DNR homepage as a link also. If the NRB approves the package, it will then go to the legislature for review and possible further action. You may also contact your representatives to express how you would like them to react to the proposal.
Now for some clarifying information regarding your concerns. There has been so much banter in the media and online about this process that its important to remember how we got here. The 16 day season idea was not originated by the DNR (this time). It was forwarded by a committee of deer hunting interest groups. Its genesis came from the unrest of the 2008 season, and the continued need for herd control in some units and general opposition to Earn-a-buck. The DNR has listened to hunters. There is no Earn-a-buck right now. (How Earn-a-buck has been implemented over the past 8 years was based on a huge hunter input process called Deer 2000 and beyond. Hunters told us when and how EAB should be used). There were no antlerless permits available in 13 deer management units up north. When asked what would be preferred to Earn-a-buck regulations, the most active and vocal hunter interest groups said extend the gun season to 16 days along with several other seasons to provide antlerless harvest opportunity (when and where needed). So that now has become the DNR's proposal.
"The DNR doesn't listen" mantra is getting old Mark. First and foremost we are deer hunters too, and we fully recognize that deer hunting is the life blood of conservation funding in Wisconsin. Its not logical to suggest that we would purposefully manage deer in a way that would ruin the future of the hunt. There are many ecological, social, and economical factors that the DNR is responsible for considering when managing deer. Deer hunter satisfaction is a big one, but its not the only one. Given reduced antlerless harvest pressure, deer herd productivity will once again start exceeding our ability to keep up with it with a "traditional" season framework (in the farmland regions at least). Had we gone to a longer gun season almost 20 years ago when the DNR first suggested it, perhaps the herd control measures including Earn-a-Buck would have never came to be. Listening is a two way street.
How do we get to the point of sustained, responsible deer management without hunters and DNR seeing each other as the enemy? We've been working on it for almost 70 years. Hunters do have many challenges confronting us that impact our ability to see as many deer as would meet our expectations. Lower current deer numbers is certainly part of it, but there are many factors that are independent of the deer population. Higher deer numbers won't be an automatic cure. Believe me, I've heard from plenty of frustrated hunters even during the record harvest years. Deer hunting has continuously changed from decade to decade. May I suggest an excellent book on the subject recently written by Bob Willging titled "On the Hunt". We are just starting to write the next chapter.

An Apology to My Toddler on Yom Kippur
Like many other parents of toddlers, I spend a lot of time teaching my 3-year-old daughter to apologize. She is taught to apologize when she doesn't listen, or when she doesn't cooperate, or when she is screaming for no reason, or when she wakes her little sister. I've put her in time out and made her apologize for spitting, for hitting, for pushing her sister, for refusing to share, for refusing to brush her teeth, for refusing to use the potty, and for refusing to take a bath.
My wife and I spend a lot of time discussing the things our eldest daughter does wrong and we try to make sure she understands how she has erred and explain to her how to behave properly the next time a similar conflict arises. "Use your words," we often tell her. "Share your toys," "be cooperative," and "be gentle" are other common pieces of advice she receives. And we hope that this process has an impact.
So, what I am saying is that, for a toddler, every day is Yom Kippur. Read the rest of this entry →

17 June-23 June 2009
The eruption from Sarychev Peak that began on 11 June continued through the 19th. SVERT reported another explosive eruption at 1730 UTC on 15 June, followed by the satellite observation of a plume early on 16 June that extended 360 km NW. The Tokyo VAAC estimated that the 16 June plume rose to an altitude of 9.7 km (32,000 feet) a.s.l., while higher ash clouds from earlier explosions reached 13.7 km (45,000 feet) altitude. Ash emissions continued during 17-18 June, causing ashfall in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, and gas-and-steam plumes spread NE and SW. Thermal anomalies were detected in satellite data on 18 and 19 June, but cloudy conditions prevented clear observations. One MODIS image on 18 June showed an ash plume spreading SW above the weather clouds. Although the Aviation Color Code was lowered from Red to Orange on 19 June, satellite observations showed that a diffuse ash cloud had spread approximately 20 km S and 40 km W of the volcano.

Based on analysis of satellite imagery, SVERT reported that on 11 June a thermal anomaly from Sarychev Peak and a possible diffuse ash plume were detected. Seismicity was at background levels. The next day, a large thermal anomaly was present and ash emissions were were seen on satellite imagery. On 13 June, ash plumes rose to an altitude of 7.5 km (24,600 ft) a.s.l. and drifted 200 km SW and 105 km SE. On 14 June, a large eruption produced an ash plume that rose to an altitude of 12 km (39,400 ft) a.s.l. A large explosion the next day sent an ash plume to an altitude of 8 km (26,200 ft) a.s.l. Sarychev Peak is not monitored with ground-based instruments. According to news articles, some airlines have re-routed, canceled, or delayed flights.

10/1976 (SEAN 01:13) Ash emission and lava flows
Ash emission, accompanied by earth tremors and a booming noise, began in mid-September. On 2 October, volcanologists observed two lava flows moving rapidly down the W flank toward the Sea of Okhotsk. By 16 October, eruptive activity was limited to infrequent "smoke" effusion, allowing the staff of the hydro-meteorological station (the only inhabitants of the island) to return. Volcanologists from the Institute of Volcanology, Petropavlovsk (IVP) are presently studying the volcano. Sarychev had a mild ash eruption lasting only 6 minutes on 9 December 1965. Its last major eruption began on 30 August, 1960, producing a 5-km-high cloud of andesitic basalt ash.

12/1981 (SEAN 06:12) Intensely active fumaroles in center of summit crater
The W walls of the crater were ruined after the 1976 eruption, and this part of the summit was flat during the 20 September overflight. In the central part of the summit crater, there was a shallow but morphologically distinct funnel in which there were many intensely active fumaroles.
Information Contact: G. Steinberg, Sakhalin Complex Institute.
04/1987 (SEAN 12:04) Lava flow and gas emissions
In September 1986 the staff of a meteorological station on Matua Island reported a strong sulfur smell. During the previous observations, after the 1976 eruption, the crater was described as flat-bottomed with a depth of 50-70 m by Andreyev and others (1978). During the 2 November 1986 overflight only the SE wall remained above the crater. Gas was being emitted from most of the crater, with the most intense fumaroles restricted to its central and W parts. A black, snow-free lava tongue extended 100-150 m from the S part of the crater. Many shallow fumaroles were located in the SE part of the crater and at the head of the lava flow. Gas emission was not observed from the lava flow itself. Traces of ash that fell before September 1986 were noted on the snow-covered crater slopes. The volcano has no permanent snow cover.

03/1989 (SEAN 14:03) Ash eruptions in mid-January; ashfall bands seen on the snow
An ash eruption was reported on 14 January at 1136. During an overflight between 1220 and 1250, clouds at 1,300-1,800 m altitude obscured the summit . . . . No eruption columns were observed above the weather clouds. Two narrow gray bands on the volcano's snow-covered N and NE slopes suggested ash emission had occurred the previous day. The activity was preceded by a series of felt earthquakes 5-12 January. Epicenters of some strong earthquakes (M<=6.2) were located in the Simushir Island region . . . .

06/2009 (BGVN 34:06) Widespread plumes from large 11-16 June 2009 eruption
On 11 June 2009 one of the largest historical eruptions in the Kuril Islands began–from Sarychev Peak (figure 1). A report from the Sakhalin Volcanic Eruption Response Team (SVERT) covered events through June, and included both remote-sensing and on-the-scene observations by Russian scientists. Other contributors include astronauts and remote-sensing specialists. Synonyms for the volcano include Fue-san, Matsuwa-jima, Matua-jima, and Sarnicheff.
|Figure 1. Broad-scale maps of the Kuril Islands showing regional geography and the location of Sarychev Peak. Base maps are courtesy of the Sakhalin Volcanic Eruption Response Team (SVERT). Representative aviation routes on the inset map are from Casadevall and Thompson (1995).
Monitoring. Volcano monitoring is conducted by SVERT in the southern and central Kurils, and by KVERT in the northern Kurils (figure 1). The region is well known for severe weather, including summertime cloudy and foggy conditions; volcano monitoring has depended heavily on remote-sensing methods.
With respect to civil aviation, the Kuril Islands are the responsibility of the Tokyo Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC). A zone without designated VAAC jurisdiction over N-central Russia is ~ 1,400 km N. The substantial plumes caused concern about that zone's ambiguous status and the whereabouts of Sarychev's ash.
This part of the North Pacific is sparsely populated but is one of the world's most heavily traveled air corridors, crossed by flights linking Europe and North America to northern Asia (including Japan, parts of China, Hong Kong, and Korea). Injecting ash into these flight routes, Sarychev's eruption triggered diversions or delays to an unknown number of flights. Reliable sources indicated that some aircraft diversions over Russia, and other unexpected factors, cost as much as $100,000 USD per flight.
Precursors and initial eruption, 11 June 2009. Before the June 2009 eruption the volcano was dormant with substantial fumarolic activity. Visitors looking into the crater in August 2008 encountered thick fog, but did heard noises. On 6 June 2009 specialists came to the island to service an autonomous GPS station. Photographs documented increased gas emissions.
SVERT's report stated that the first signs of eruption came as a result of satellite observations acquired on 11 June 2009. Distinct then were both a thermal anomaly and weak ash emissions. During the eruption, ashfalls were widespread and noted at sites including Raikoke, Rasshua, Ushishir, Ketoi, the Simushir islands, the northern part of Urup Island, and widespread on Sakhalin Island.
On the night of 11-12 June, the scientific research ship George Steller passed near the island without anyone noticing an eruption, according to an oral report from the expedition chief Vladimir Burkanov.
Space Station photograph, 12 June 2009. A stunning photo of the plume taken on 12 June 2009 (figure 2) from the International Space Station (ISS) shows not only a highly complex ash cloud, but at least two or three distinct (different colored) volcanic clouds hugging the ground surface and traveling radially out from the vent. One is an unmistakable, light-colored pyroclastic flow, narrowing as it progresses out over the island until ultimately hidden by the edge of the weather clouds. Another set are broader, dark-colored clouds, presumably other pyroclastic flows.

The vertical plume looks dense and well confined; absent is the strongly spreading upper region common in many eruptive plumes (an umbrella cloud). The top of this cloud is bulbous, and trailing below it is a narrower, columnar lower segment colored in shades of brown and cream. At the time of this writing no clear analysis of the plume height has come to our attention. Older dispersed plumes are also apparent at distance (some at the left edge of this photo) and on satellite imagery from 12 June, with airborne ash covering a considerable area and extending in more than one direction.
Capping the ash cloud's bulbous top and in a ring just below it, lies a strikingly smooth, white portion of the plume, a feature called a pileus cloud (figure 2). It results from a slab of uncontaminated air pushed upward ahead of the rapidly rising darker zone. Pileus clouds sometimes form above mountain tops and convectively rising weather clouds. For the pileus cloud to form, the lifted air layer must have sufficient moisture (relative humidity). The underlying clouds often punch through the pileus clouds, a process that seems to have started here. The lower clouds that result are sometimes described as cloud skirts (the ring in this case).
The hole in the weather clouds centered above the volcano is likely in part due to meteorological conditions; such holes often occur similarly centered over islands in the Kuril chain. This may result, for example, from an island's landmass warming moist air or forcing it upwards to mix with dryer air, resulting in a local loss of cloud cover; such an effect might combine with downwind eddies. A broader 12 June ISS image shows a series of holes in regional weather clouds in a pattern aligned broadly over the Kuriles. Another explanation, with many adherants, is that the hole may have been caused or influenced by effects associated with dynamics of the eruption and plume propagation (Wilkinson, 2009).
The opportune ISS flyover resulted in 29 still images of the eruption taken over a 1-minute interval. NASA used the photos to create a series of animations, also available on the NASA Earth Observatory website. The ISS orbits at ~ 400 km altitude and ~ 27,500 km/hour. Patrick Vantuyne created a red-blue stereo image of the 12 June plume, posted by NASA as a "Picture of the Day."
Satellite-based observations. SVERT reported that the energetic phase of the eruption, during 11-16 June, encompassed more than ten large explosions (figures 3 and 4). Resulting ash clouds rose up to altitudes of 8-16 km and, according to some estimates, up to 21 km. Ash plumes stretched N to W for 1,500 km, and E for more than 3,000 km. Comparative analysis of ASTER-Terra satellite images indicated newly formed territory amounted to 1.4 km2. The area of island covered by June 2009 pyroclastic flows was more than 8 km2. The preliminary estimated minimum volume of eruptive rock was 0.4 km3.
|Figure 3. A MODIS satellite image of the Sarychev Peak eruption plume from 16 June 2009. In colored versions the plume is black. As it spread W, part of the plume took the form of a large spiral, portions of which extended at least as far W as Sakhalin Island. The plume also appears in thinner strands to the NE of the source.

|Figure 4. False-color ASTER images from 27 May 2007 and 30 June 2009 showing before-and-after scenes of Sarychev Peak's eruption. The 2007 photo shows remnant seasonal snow on the island and some cloud over the summit. N is towards the top and the long-axis of Matua (large island) is ~ 12 km and the diameter of Toporkovyi (small island) is ~ 1 km. The eruption's effects were strong to the NW, around the volcano, but fieldwork confirmed that they left both the SE end of Matua Island and all of the flat Toporkovyi Island comparatively untouched. Comparison of images shows that pyroclastic flows extended the shoreline of the island, particularly NE and SW of the volcano. Courtesy of ASTER and SVERT.
Broader imagery of the region also indicated more diffuse high-altitude ash clouds. Starting on 12 June, the ash spread hundreds of kilometers both E and W and to lesser extent N, a large elongate mass high in the atmosphere that closed off a huge critical area to commercial air carriers and created new problems not seen before by aviation authorities.
According to Simon Carn, the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on NASA's Aura satellite tracked a sulfur dioxide plume across the northern Pacific from Sakhalin Island and mainland Russia and E as far as Alaska (figure 5). Carn's tentative conclusion was that the eruption was also the largest sulfur dioxide event so far in 2009.

By early July both atmospheric lidar instruments and the CALIPSO limb-sounding satellite had documented extended aerosol layers at 10-20 km altitude over the Northern Hemisphere. There were two potential sources for these aerosols, fires and the Sarychev Peak eruption. Fires due to biomass burning were seen around this time in both the Yukon and Alaska. Fire-generated aerosols are now known to reach 20 km altitudes (Mike Fromm, personal communication, and Fromm and others, 2004). According to Fromm, the Sarychev Peak eruptions must have at least contributed to high-altitude aerosols. As recent as mid-August, the atmospheric limb-sounding satellite CALYPSO had detected pronounced aerosol layers at 22-23 km altitude, layers also seen on MODIS visible-wavelength imagery. Fromm concluded the aerosol burden was larger than the substantial August-September 2008 eruption at Kasatochi (Alaska).
The microwave limb-sounding (MLS) satellite Aura can detect multiple gases. According to a NASA website, in mid-June 2009 it detected clear signals of both SO2 and HCl across a large span of the North Pacific.
Continuing activity during 16-28 June 2009. After 16 June, the eruptions entered a less energetic stage. Weak explosions continued and contained small amounts of tephra. The SVERT team visited the island during 26-28 June. Intense gas emissions came from still-hot deposits. Satellite data confirmed these gas emissions, which continued through at least 20 July. Field work and satellite observations led the team to consider the eruption to be VEI 4.
Good views of the island were obtained from the sea during the 26-28 June visit by SVERT (figures 6-8). One component of fieldwork involved the GPS-aided mapping of pyroclastic deposits seen along the seashore. The team used an inflatable boat to access the shoreline (figure 9). The bulk of pyroclastic flows reached the sea (figures 10 and 11), and although wave action had substantially eroded the deposits along the coastline, the deposits clearly continued out into the sea. Weakly eroded underwater pyroclastic flows sometimes returned distinctive reflections on echo soundings. The soundings and other observations also revealed submerged deposits emitting gases and still-stirring hydrothermal exchanges.

The field inspection revealed three pyroclastic flows from the eruption. The team also recognized other pyroclastic material, including volcanic bombs, scoria flows, and ash. Compositionally, the field analysis suggested the eruptions were basaltic andesite. In accord with the density of the fresh blocky deposits along the sea cliff, and the clasts within them (figure 11), the team saw no floating pumice.
The intense fumarolic discharges escaping the pyroclastic flows reached ~ 500°C. Fumaroles were seen most frequently associated with impacts from large volcanic bombs, and from fissures. Areas of fumarolic exhalation included sublimated minerals such as native sulfur (figure 12). The team also encountered a pond with hot water (figure 13).

Biological impacts. Prior to the eruption, the island was teeming with life and the SVERT team photographically documented many biological impacts (eg., surviving birds congregated at damaged or destroyed rookeries). The eruptions of June 2009 divided Matua Island into two sectors with a sharp and nearly linear boundary between them (eg., figure 5). On the NW side, nearest Sarychev Peak, its eruption left a dead zone. Many plants were buried by hot tephra, leaving a landscape devoid of vegetation on the current ground surface. This dead zone was bounded to the S by a deep ravine where a large mudflow had occurred, destroying ferns, thick growths of alder, and grass cover.
To the SE, ashfall damaged small plants, including rhododendron, crowberry, cassiopea, and phylodoce. Perhaps 10-15% of sites visited there had ash over 10 cm thick. Especially near the dead zone, many small plants suffered burial, yet they continued to blossom. Blossoming cowberry was buried in areas with thick ashfall.
Among high brush in the S part of the island, alder generally suffered little, but in some areas of ashfall (between Kruglaya mountain and the slopes of the volcano) it showed some leaf damage. The leaves of mountain ash displayed yellow rims and discolored spots. High-grasses located in the SE sector were little affected by ashfall.
In the dead zone, some bird colonies remained on the old lava flows supporting the island's capes. It was difficult to estimate how many birds had died or lost nests. Many seagulls sat on the warm surfaces of the steaming pyroclastic flows. Wounded and dead seagulls found on the surfaces of pyroclastic flows were probably killed by burns after the eruption. Near the NW part of Matua Island, the team saw large flocks of sea birds aloft.
On the 28th, SVERT visited seal habitats on the S portion of the island where they counted 20 eared seals and 10 fur seals. On a cape along Matua's W coast they encountered another seven eared seals. The team found no living land animals on the NW sector. On the SE sector, they found dead mice and three dead foxes.
Additional geological background from SVERT. The modern edifice of Sarychev Peak occupies the bulk of Matua Island but is centered towards the NW (figure 5). The island's SE side is flat, with average elevations of 30-40 m. The island's S and E sides are covered with brush and grass.
Before 25 August 1945, Matua Island supported a Japanese army base with as many as 4,000 residents. After 1945, the Soviet army occupied the island and maintained meteorological and seismic stations until a sharp decline in inhabitants at the end of the 1990's. The island still contains runways and structures. In recent years, the only people on the island were occasional visitors.
The geologic literature discusses Pliocene basaltic andesite volcanoes in this region (including Toporkovyi Island and the SE part of Matua). It is probable that these are part of an ancient shield volcano. In the SE part of Matua Island is a somma of an ancient caldera (Gorshkov 1967; Markhinin 1964; Andreev and others, 1978), making Sarychev Peak an intracaldera stratovolcano. It is formed by alternating lava and tephra of mainly basalt to andesite composition (Gorshkov 1967; Andreev et.al 1978).
According to Gorshkov (1967), after the major 1946 eruption the crater had both a diameter and depth of ~ 250 m, with steep, sometimes overhanging crater walls and a floor of solid lava. Modern lava flows consisted of two-pyroxene basalts and basaltic andesites vented from the central cone, forming small tongues near the crater.
After the 1960 eruption, field observers encountered dense fog and were thus unable to describe the crater (Shilov, 1962). According to eye-witnesses, the crater's N walls may have collapsed.
The 1976 eruption included strong emissions. Lava flows extended the W, SW, and NW slopes (Andreev and others, 1978). This eruption left the crater with a diameter of ~ 200 m and a flat bottom at a depth 50-70 m below the rim.

09/2010 (BGVN 35:09) Lava flows on the E and SE flanks; aerosol layer detected by lidar
Since the last eruption at Sarychev Peak, during 11-21 June 2009 (BGVN 34:06), there have been intermittent thermal anomalies detected and one ash plume. Later fieldwork also revealed lava flows from the 2009 activity. This volcano lacks a seismometer, so satellite observations are the Sakhalin Volcanic Eruptions Response Team's (SVERT) primary monitoring tool, as they are for many volcanoes of the Kuril Islands.
The June 2009 explosive eruption deposited pyroclastic flows and associated tephra that changed the landscape around on NE Matua Island. Hot pyroclastic flows completely buried vegetated slopes, covered wide areas to the W, N, and E, and reached the sea (BGVN 34:06).
Satellite imagery collected after June 2009 revealed lava flows on the E and SE flanks. Some imagery and photos (including radar and thermal data) and a lidar atmospheric sounding found aerosols interpreted as Sarychev Peak ash at 12 km altitude over Germany.
Additional June 2009 eruption observations. Gas-and-steam emissions were frequent in July 2009, possibly with some ash on the 27th (table 1). Low-altitude plumes were visible up to 75 km away. Thermal anomalies were then detected on 21 November 2009, and 3 February, 9 March, and 27 May 2010. An ash plume was seen on 20 September 2010.
Date Activity 04-05 Jul 2009 Gas-and-steam emission, plumes drifted 20-75 km NW, NE, and SE to altitudes of 1.5-3 km 08 Jul 2009 Gas-and-steam emission, plumes drifted 15 km E 09 Jul 2009 Gas-and-steam emission, plumes containing some ash drifted 50 km E 13 Jul 2009 Gas-and-steam emission, plumes drifted 40 km E 14 Jul 2009 Gas-and-steam emission, plumes drifted 25 km W and NW 15-21 Jul 2009 Gas-and-steam emission, plumes drifted 30-50 km W and S 22 Jul 2009 Gas-and-steam emission, plumes drifted 35 km N 27 Jul 2009 Steam-gas plume possibly containing some ash drifted 55 km NW at 3.7 km altitude 21 Nov 2009 Thermal anomaly, steam-gas emission 03 Feb 2010 Thermal anomaly 09 Mar 2010 Thermal anomaly 27 May 2010 Thermal anomaly 20 Sep 2010 Diffuse ash plume
As previously discussed (BGVN 34:06), a scientific expedition from the Institute of Marine Geology and Geophysics Far East Division Russian Academy of Sciences (FED RAS) and Pacific Institute of Geography (FED RAS) that visited the island during 26-28 June 2009 described the eruption as explosive in character (Levin and others, 2009). Also, the explosions were sufficiently strong to have created a deep crater. A 2007 photo of the summit crater disclosed a shallow depression, the floor of which was covered in pyroclastic material (figures 14 and 15). More recent images show a newly deepened and enlarged crater (figures 16 and 17).
|Figure 14. Sarychev Peak's summit crater as photographed in August 2007. Pyroclastic materials and solidified lava then filled the summit crater of the volcano to its lowest level on the NW edge.

|Figure 15. Almost a year after Sarychev Peak erupted spectacularly during June 2009, it displayed only degassing with steam hanging over the newly enlarged summit crater. The Advanced Land Images (ALI) on NASA's Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite captured this image on 11 June 2010. Steam filled the summit crater, forming an almost perfect circle of white. A much fainter, barely discernible plume blew away from the summit toward the E. Courtesy of NASA Earth Observatory.

In the NE direction, the larger crater has a diameter (rim-to-rim) of ~350-450 m. Within that lies the steep-sided crater, which has a diameter of ~250 m. Courtesy of JAXA.
Satellite images from 17-18 June 2009 (such as figure 16) disclosed two, roughly 100- to 150-m-wide streams of lava that first divided ~300 m from the crater's NE edge. More detailed satellite images (including thermal images) and photos from the field analyzed after the expedition also aided the recognition of the lava flows. Grishin and Melekestsev (2010) noted that the new lava flows extended 2.4 and 2.6 km from their source at the summit crater. The area of the lava flows was estimated as 0.8 km2; the volume was estimated as ~10 x 106 m3.
Analysis also determined that the lava flows proceeded downslope during the eruption's active phase. Field photos disclosed that the pyroclastic deposits overlapped and were coeval with the lava flows. In other words, lava flows moved roughly synchronous with the pyroclastic flows (figures 16 and 17).
In some images, fresh snow had blanketed and remained over the bulk of Matua Island, but the lava flows and thick pyroclastic flows remained devoid of, or with limited, snow cover. This effect was attributed to continued heat radiating from the lava flows and thick pyroclastic flows.
Satellite radar. Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) staff performed radar observations on 19 June 2009 (figure 18) using the Phased Array Type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) installed on the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS). Analysts compared an earlier radar image, from 14 March 2007, to detect surface changes between those two dates; many of the changes were attributed to the 2009 eruption (figure 18).
|Figure 18. PALSAR amplitude images acquired before (bottom; on 14 March 2007) and after (top; on 19 June 2009) the eruption at Sarychev Peak. The same observational modes were used for both images (taken on descending orbit with an off-nadir angle of 34.3 degrees). PALSAR radar depict the target area without masking by weather clouds, steam or other volcanic gases. Courtesy of JAXA.
The two images revealed areas with profound changes (circled) both around the crater and at many points along the coast. Analysts interpreted the shoreline changes as due to pyroclastic flows or lahars, which issued from the crater and transported material radially. On the upper slopes, the strong radial pattern was primarily due to pyroclastic flows and, in some locations, lava flows.
Lidar. Mattis and others (2009) discussed aerosol data from lidar soundings over Leipzig, Germany, during the summer of 2008 through the first half of 2009. They associated high backscatter seen on 1 July 2009 with aerosols from Sarychev Peak's eruption and estimated the main peak from aerosols as residing at ~12 km altitude.
Earlier backscatter peaks were attributed to Okmok (Aleutians, 15-km altitude); Kasatochi (Aleutians, 15.2 km); Shiveluch (Kamchatka, 8.8 km); Cleveland (Aleutians, 6 km); and Redoubt (Alaska, 20 km). The authors noted that, prior to the onset of the aerosol layers seen in the summer of 2008, their measurements in the previous 12 years lacked any major effects from volcanic aerosols over Germany.

Sarychev Peak, one of the most active volcanoes of the Kuril Islands, occupies the NW end of Matua Island in the central Kuriles. The andesitic central cone was constructed within a 3-3.5-km-wide caldera, whose rim is exposed only on the SW side. A dramatic 250-m-wide, very steep-walled crater with a jagged rim caps the volcano. The substantially higher SE rim forms the 1496 m high point of the island. Fresh-looking lava flows, prior to activity in 2009, had descended in all directions, often forming capes along the coast. Much of the lower-angle outer flanks of the volcano are overlain by pyroclastic-flow deposits. Eruptions have been recorded since the 1760s and include both quiet lava effusion and violent explosions. Large eruptions in 1946 and 2009 produced pyroclastic flows that reached the sea.

Turning $5 into Thousands
Published on - July 21st, 2008 (by J.D. Roth)
I love to read about the little tricks people use to force themselves to save money. Apparently I'm not the only one. Yesterday Jeff sent me a brief story from The Boston Globe that describes how Marie Franklin saves every five dollar bill she receives. She's been doing this for three years, and in that time she's managed to save $12,000. She writes:
This idea will only work if you are disciplined. When I decided to save my fives, I meant it, and I save every one. No exceptions. (OK, once on the Mass. Pike I gave the toll collector a 20 and he returned three fives and four ones. I panicked. This was my allowance for the week. I asked him to give me a ten and more ones instead.) Otherwise, if I get a five dollar bill back — at CVS, or Starbucks, or Marty's on Washington Street — I tuck it away, smiling.
When the fives pocket in my wallet reaches $50, I make a deposit in my credit union. When this account reaches $2,000, I buy a CD to earn higher interest. Also, it helps to pay with cash. You can't get a five back if you're always using credit cards.
Franklin writes that she's always been a saver, and this was just another way to maintain the habit.
My wife, too, has always been a saver, and she uses a trick like this to accumulate extra money. For several years, Kris has been rounding every transaction up to the next dollar in her checkbook. If she spends $49.74 at the grocery store, she enters this in her checkbook as $50. If she spends $33.13 on gas, she enters it as $34. As a result, she saves an average of 50 cents every time she performs a transaction.
In 2-1/2 years, Kris saved an extra $500 using this method. That's enough to treat herself to something nice. (Bank of America offers a similar program called Keep the Change.)
There are many variations on these sorts of saving tricks. It's common for people save their pocket change in a jar, of course, but some save their dollar bills, too. Some find this sort of thing counterproductive, but others find that games like these offer motivation to save.
This article is about Money Hacks
I really like the $5 bill idea. Only problem is… I use my check card almost everywhere. If I have cash in my pocket I tend to spend it more easily. Still it's worth giving a try. I know the next time I get a $5 bill I'll be thinking of this idea!
I certainly applaud Ms. Franklin on her ability to save, especially since she manages to save while at the same time being a Starbucks customer (I know some people consider the two polar opposites!). And she is correct in that it takes discipline, but if you are disciplined in saving, tricks aren't necessary. I definitely do not agree with "rounding tricks" when it comes to cash accounts. I'm not condemning them, I personally believe that one of the main tenents of financial success is accuracy and being able to reconcile your accounts on a monthly basis, and urge my clients to get into that routine, which can get tricky if you round transactions in the register.
I also agree with Eric regarding the check card. It is a lot faster to many people, eliminates the trips to the bank for cash, simplifies expense tracking, and if you use a credit card even provides added purchase protection (not to mention rewards, etc.).
When I quit smoking I decided to put all the cigarette money aside to save it. After one year I managed to save almost $1500 without even trying.
I have been saving all of my coins in a money tin which I cannot access. When it fills up then I go and cash it in (but sometimes I will spend some of the money first). I like the idea of the fives better. Because you make more money. After all you need 100 lots of 5c coins to make up and $5 note…but only one $5.
I think I will begin to employ this principle and start saving some more.
I am a struggling entrepreneur so I need all of the cash I can get.
Also I heard a story from one lady who came into my work who used to save up all of her $1 coins every year. She would save them in a big tin and then at the end of the year she would cash them in and use them for christmas. It would pay for all the Christmas presents and her children didn't have to go without. Cool ay?
There are so many ways to save that you have to employ at least one of them
Also just to add to what I said before the same method will not work for everyone. Find the one that works for you and stick to that. Don't force it on others either. Let them do what works for them.
Twelve grand in three years from small change? That is amazing!
Seems to me the problem would be is that most of your change comes in $5 bills. It would mean you would either have to pay in ones or you'd have to buy things whose value is close to $10 or to $20; otherwise all your spending money would end up in savings and you wouldn't have enough to buy necessities.
I like the idea of stashing the amount you save on recently kicked vices. Wouldn't have to be just tobacco: could be alcohol, soda pop, or sugary Starbucks coffeeoids. Or all of the above…you'd soon be rich beyond your wildest dreams!
I added an extra amount to the withdrawals that eventually chain link to my Roth IRA contribution. The extra money goes into my ING account and adds into my savings twice a month. Making this automatic ensures I am saving without any effort!
I've been doing the $5 trick for about 6 months. The only time I've made an exception was once when I went to an ATM and asked for $40 and it gave me the entire amount in $5 bills.
At the risk of outing myself as even more bizarre than at first glance, I also do this five dollar thing. I have nowhere near 12 grand (mainly because like those above I mostly use my debit card), and I don't save every one that crosses my path, but quite a lot of them. Why five bucks? I lived in New York during both Sept 11 and the blackout, and both days needed small bills for water, radios, and other assorted "appears on street corners at inflated prices" stuff. After that I wanted to always have 5 dollar bills on hand. They're all sitting inside a copy of the Illustrated Life of Pi on my bedside table right now!
(I also save most of the 2 dollar coins I get, and cash them in annually. When my husband doesn't raid them to buy cigarettes. Yes, they're silly tricks, and the amounts are nowhere near my regular savings, but these are habits that have carried over for a while and I'm comfortable with them).
Just throwing change in a jar makes a big difference. I cashed in a year's worth of change a few years ago and netted $180; I also cashed in another one elsewhere in the house for a total of $325.
It's a pretty straightforward calculation. If you make a purchase a day, you will end up with some change. Suppose that change, between your various purchases, nets out to 50 cents per day. 365 days gets you $180! No effort involved.
My husband and I, married with no children, recently bought the children's piggy bank called the Money Savvy Pig. Yes, really.
We are actually enjoying the four segments- save, spend, donate & invest. We get joy out of using a cash-based system now and putting all the extra coins into the bank. It's amazing how quickly that money can build up. We deposit it into high-yield savings as soon as it gets full. We plan to make our annual charity contributions based on the money we've accumulated in our little piggy bank.
I don't think of it as "tricking" myself into saving money, simply as another way to reward myself. It's just gravy, if you get what I mean.
I generally try and pay only with notes. In Ireland, we have 1 and 2 euro coins so the smallest denomination I can pay with is a 5. This leads to about 200 – 250 euro (about 320 to 400 dollars) every four or five months.
Great idea. Each month we do something similar and it works!
This is a great tip. Now that I use cash more than my check card to control spending, this method could work wonders for my savings account.
Hrm…saving $12000 in three years in $5 bills…
That's 2400 * $5, which is 2.2 $5 bills per day over three years.
That sounds a little unrealistic…
I like the idea of saving as many of the low demonination notes as you get them – and getting a lovely surprise when all of it is added up.
But, if you're keeping this as an easy-access cash stash at home while it builds up wouldn't it just be a huge temptation to dip into it from time to time?
I like the idea of the Italian TerraMundi pots – there is only a hole in the top for putting money into, when full the pot is smashed to get at the cash (and buy another pot!).
The plain ones do not stand out as an obvious target for burglars or (a-hem) not-to-be-trusted visitors to your home. At just 6-7 inches in height they can easily be 'transferred' to pockets and bags etc.
They now produce pots with specific objective goals, ie., New Home, Wedding Fund, Ferrari Fund, Shoe Fund (?!)
I put a slip of paper with the date on with the first coin so it'll be interesting to see how long it takes. Nowhere near full though ;-o.
Okay – I get the award for most bizarre. I cast a little silver spell now and then(yes, I'm a witch). One of the spell components is dimes. So I'm in the habit of tossing my dimes into a bowl to save for the spell. Used to be when the period of the spell was over I spent the dimes on something fun. Nowadays, I'm tossing them into another container – they are my RV savings. Yeah, so it's like $2 a month – right now I'm concentrating on getting rid of debt and building an emergency fund. But meanwhile – I'm putting a bit back for my RV. Seeing that little bowl of dimes is also an affirmation that we are abundant enough to set aside money rather than needing every last dime to live on
Ha.. I'll chip in my two cents worth here:
Pay yourself first and you don't need to waste your time and energy with these little "tricks".
i agree w/ eric.. i use my debit card 90% of the time.. only time i have cash on me is when there's a particular food spot that i go to that only takes cash
it's a cool idea though.. why not make it $10 bills instead of $5? =)
Not to take the wind out of the sails on here, but this seems like both an arbitrary and inconsistent way to save.
Sure it sounds cool, save each type of bill, and watch the money grow, but I think a better way is to set aside a specific amount each month BEFORE you get spending cash, then you retain control, not the clerk handing back cash.
What if one month you don't get any fives back. Or what if you get all fives, like the example in the op. Inconsistent and out of your control are not cool when it comes to saving.
I think you should maintain control over all aspects of your financial lives, including how, when, and where you save. Leaving even a portion of it to chance or luck is shortchanging (no pun) yourself.
I personally like the "Keep the Change" program that Bank of America offers me. Every time we use our debit card to buy a Starbucks coffee (or any other little purchase), we get money deposited into our savings. If the coffee costs $4.53, then Bank of America rounds up the purchase to $5.00 but puts $.47 into our savings. They even match a certain amount in the beginning.
It's a no brainer forced savings. Great for people with little self-discipline… hey, I'm working on it… or for people who never carry around any cash.
Back when I wasn't saving on my own, I worked for a company that reimbursed us for gas. It was deposited monthly without any notification. Instead of trying to track it down, I just ignored it and let it accrue. After 2 years I had over $2000 extra in my account (we did a lot of driving .
Now days I take all the silver change from my pocket and put it in a opaque jar on a book case. After a couple years, I take it to the bank and deposit it. I can get four to five hundred that way.
THese tips remind me of those that put the alarm clock ahead 15 minutes to make sure they get up on time. While some will say, just set you alarm differently, I say whatever works for you!
I really like this idea. I take advantage of the Wachovia "Way2Save" savings plan. Each time you swipe your card, $1 is transferred to your high interest (5%) savings account. You can also elect to have up to $100 per month transferred into this account from your checking account.
This is a great idea. Although I also don't use cash that frequently, any cool idea helps. I like to keep changing it up to keep saving money "fun". I will definitely try this one!
This is a brilliant idea…I love it!!! Just shot my wife an email with a link to the post to say we should try it. Of course, I just used a $5 bill to buy lunch before reading the post:)
Keep up the great bits of advice.
I've always been a saver. When I was a kid I saved my lunch money and allowance. When I got married, I started stashing the change from my husband's pocket. Now, whenever I find I have cash in my purse…a 5 or 10 or 20…I stick it my a drawer. One year I paid for Christmas this way. Another year, we went on a cruise. I'm never tempted to get into it. Once it's in the drawer, it doesn't exist until ready for deposit!
Enh. Why do people decry this as inconsistent or a bad idea? Much like eating a balanced diet, little 'money hacks' like this are a fun part of a healthy financial life. Saving your spare change, rounding up, etc., should take the place of paying yourself first or stocking your emergency fund. If you can make saving money interesting or fun, then more power to you. If the author of this article managed to save $12k by being conscious of where her spare change was going, then fantastic!
Amanda, I checked out that Money Savvy Pig. It's a great idea. However, it's a shame you can't designate which "fatter" part of the pig you'd like to save more for. I thought the donation part was too big for me and the save part too small. Cute idea though.
Next step up should be investing your money in a low-cost all-market index fund so you can actually grow your wealth over time. CD's ultimately return you ZERO after taxes and inflation. Provided you don't need the cash for anything in the next 10 years there is no other place for it that makes any sense than the equity markets.
I almost never use cash. My system works great for me: I've divided our monthly bills into "First Paycheck" and "Second Paycheck". Every payday, I sit down and pay all the bills assigned to that paycheck, leave a small amount of spending money in the checking account, and transfer every remaining cent into our ING savings account. Then we simply cannot overspend because the money isn't in the checking account, and we have peace of mind knowing that all the bills are covered. Since our 401k contributions come out before the paycheck, we end up paying ourselves first AND last!
I do something similar… When I was a waitress at a diner, one of my coworkers saves all the change for his college tuition. Makes enough in change that it covers a class or two and some books every semester. He only counts the note tips in his budget (and budgets for the entire tuition bill in case he's short though he never actually has enough income for that).
I took that idea and the one about rounding up in your registry/saving change from cash spent and put them both together… nbut after a couple months of that I realized HEY! I'm screwing up my financing!
I wasn't adding in my change from tips into my cash income. But the change from purchases made with the cash tips I WAS counting also went in the same change jar… and then got added to my income as tip money when it went to the bank (about $70/month). Problem was, all my purchase-change was getting double-counted as income. Maybe $10 a month or so. Not a lot but enough to screw up my income estimates (not to mention increasing the amount spent in each category that I spend cash in)!
I started using quicken a couple months ago and I figured out how to fix my problem (besides using separate jars, which I would still manage to screw up). When I enter the data from purchases into my cash registery in quicken, I also have a "change" account that is hidden and not in my toolbar. I can enter the full dollar amount as I have been, but use the split function to put the exact amount spent into the proper category and put the change into the other registry. That keeps my expenses neat and tidy, and when I go to put my jar in the bank, I can subtract the "change" from the full amount and I have my change-tips amount for the month. No double counting income.
Sounds a lot more complicated than it is (and no it doesn't beat paying yourself first–I do that too).
J.D. — Scotiabank has a program called Bank the Rest that does this for you for all purchases made on your debit card:

Another testament to the benefits of saving change:
When I was in college, I bartended 5 nights a week to pay for school and rent. At the end of each shift, I'd end up with a tip jar half full of change. The servers and other bartenders usually didn't want to lug home an apronful of change after a long night, so they'd just toss their coins in my tip jar on their way out. I would deposit the cash and payroll checks to pay rent and bills, and I'd put the change in a large bin at home. Every Sunday, I'd wrap change while I watched "Sex and the City." This became a weekly ritual. Over two years, I paid off over $6000 in credit card debt using the "change fund." Even though I'm now paid through direct deposit, my husband and I still save all our change in a large jar. When the jar is full, we wrap the change and use it to make an extra payment on our car loan.
@ Beth number 31…
Beth, even though all compartments are the same size, you choose how much you want to put in. For example, our save position is a lot more filled than our spend portion right now.
Like Eric, I don't really see the point of this sort of thing. There is only one way to save, and that is to spend less than you earn. Whether the money is saved as five dollar bills or change or just money left in your account at the end of the month makes no difference, your savings is the net result of your income less expenses.
The only way this sort of thing works is if it causes you to reduce your spending (or, I guess, if you write about it and increase your income). Otherwise it's just unnecessary overhead. If you save a five dollar bill, but don't reduce your spending, that just means you have to take an extra five dollars out of the bank in order to put it back later. Similarly, spending change is only bad if you spend it on things you wouldn't've bought anyway.
It's great that she's managed to save $12,000 over three years with this "trick". However, I saved over $25,000 last year with a combination of automatic withdrawals and saving all windfalls and money that's left over at the end of the month. Doing it via five dollar bills wouldn't increase my savings, but it would require a lot more trips to the bank.
I enjoyed this post. A few years ago my uncle was able to make the downpayment for his kitchen renovation from cash he saved whenever he broke a $20 bill. His method was to save ones, fives and tens of the same serial letter till he reached a stack of 50.
I thought it was funny and teased him about being Type A until one day the lightbulb went on in my own head. I now save ones and use them for pampering, etc. I also save quarters for laundry and dimes for things like library fines. Nickels and pennies I donate to an organization.
I find this a fun way of adding to my savings. I used to be a heavy debit card user and now that I'm trying the envelope system, so I have more cash. I think I'll take a look at saving fives.
I like Bank of America's Keep the Change saving program. They round up the charge and deposit the difference in a savings account for me:$2-$20 a month. As a result I automatically round every purchase up when I record it which makes for simplified bookkeeping.
They match a percentage or have the past two years in addition to paltry savings rate and that's a nice bonus.
I have to agree with Troy @22. Saving willy-nilly like this is nice and certainly better than not saving at all, but it's a good indication that the person doesn't have a savings goal. You're likely to make much better progress if you have a clear goal in mind.
Step 1: Figure out what you want to save for.
Step 2: Figure out how much money you'll need, and when you'll need it.
Step 3: Set aside as much money every month as you need to reach your goal on time.
The fact that the author of the piece doesn't have a clear goal is telling: "People always ask me what I am going to do with the money in my fives accounts. I have no idea. I'm having too much fun watching it grow to want to spend it." Saving and investing should have a purpose.
I always used to save my nickels and dimes and roll them up so I could deposit them into my chequing account. However, since I started funneling budget surpluses toward my student loan debt, I now do the same with rolled-up change.
My last haul was five dollars in dimes, two dollars in nickels, and ten dollars in pennies. Mind you, a lot of those pennies were stashed by my mom, but they still helped.
Recently, my apartment building changed its laundry machines; they don't accept coins anymore. I used to set loonies (one-dollar coins) and quarters aside for my loads; now that I don't need them anymore, I stash my quarters so that I can roll them up and deposit them. I just need one more so that I can haul ten dollars to the bank.
I totally agree!!!! Some people think I'm strange and my boss disagrees that it is "extra" money saved but I have an extra $1400 in $5 notes that I didn't have 8 months ago so I think that speaks for itself!
I totally disagree, at the end of the day you have what you have, it's the way you allocate your funds is the key. To say it's money you never had is a faulse economy.
Nice idea, however it demands carry cash all the time, which is something I never do. I use my checkcard for virtually everything. However, I do save loose change whenever I find myself with change in my pockets. Not too long ago, I found myself short on funds 2 days before payday, and I was unwilling to dip into my emergency funds, so I pulled out the plastic gallon where all my loose change goes, and emptied it into the local change machine. I walked away with $250.
That's what I learned when I was a kid. Saved up several thousand dollars from loads of odd jobs and by the time I was 16 I had enough to pay for my pilot's license. We're not talking the 1950′s either, late 90′s.
My budget already includes a regular chunk of money geared towards savings, but I have my own little trick that works pretty well for me. Each week, I withdraw a set dollar amount which covers my personal expenses. (i.e. lunches, sundries, etc.) Whatever is left over goes into a small coffee can. Some weeks it's only a dollar or two, while other weeks it's twenty or more. Right now, I use the can money as 'fun money', but I have used it in the past to save up for specific needs. It inspires me to be careful with my spending each week, as I enjoy the weeks I can put a bigger bill in the can.
After reading many of the comments, I think some people are missing the point of this kind of saving. I already have a 401(k), an IRA, an emergency fund, and another savings account that are funded monthly. These are things that should be taken care of like you take care of your rent or car payment. Saving your 5′s or coins is mostly for discretionary spending. It's fun to see how much you can save by just stashing a little here and there. I would have just spent that money somewhere if I hadn't stashed it, but now it has multiplied in my drawer and can be used to buy something I really want or I can use it to increase one of my savings accounts. Either way, I'm ahead.
I think it is important to note that change in a jar or excess monies in a checking account (as long as it isn't a high balance reward checking account) are LOSING MONEY at the rate of inflation. I don't agree that this is a saving technique. If you gave me a dollar and a year later I gave you back 96 cents, would you consider that a savings technique?
Call this what it is: it's a way to curb spending. If you hide money from yourself, you can't spend it. The person with the $5 bill idea says that her method takes incredible discipline. If she has incredible discipline, WHY DOES SHE NEED THE METHOD?
"In 2-1/2 years, Kris saved an extra $500 using this method. That's enough to treat herself to something nice."
All due respect, but why is she "treating herself to something nice"? That sounds like code for spending money she doesn't need to spend. That sounds like the problem, not the solution to a problem.
I also save my change. Here in Canada we have loonies and twonies (1/2$ coins).
I actually keep track of how much I've saved and put away for each demonination. So far for the year I've saved 197.50$ (those loonies and twonies really help me out here)

I agree with the others that this product is good but not great. I really wanted the new Fresh tinted lip balm in Coral but when I saw these on sale at the grocery store, I picked one up in Caring Coral to see if it would satisfy that craving. I like the buttercream scent, the pretty gold and translucent peach packaging, the nongoopy formula, and the SPF 15, but the color payoff just isn't there. It shows up as nothing on the back of my hand, and just shine on my lips. It's also very lightly hydrating, so it won't heal cracked lips or work miracles.
I'm happy enough with it for $5.99 but I wish it were either a better balm or had a better tint.

Ok, so I kept reading the great reviews on this product. So I decided to give it a try. I'm still looking for my HG lip prodcuct since Christian Dior stopped making my favorite of all time.
I love the way this product goes on. I think I purchased it in Nude. I thought there is not way with it feeling this nice at first that it was going to last. To my GREAT surprise a couple of hours later after having a Diet Mountian Dew (now talk about HG) Love me some dew. I digress sorry; After 2-3 hours the product was still on my lips and it still felt great. I love this so much that I am going to send it in "Berry" to my mother for mothers day. She's 76 now and unsless I'm there to apply sometimes something that is to Lip Stickie (is that a word)? ....can be a little over-whelming. I think she's going to love this product. I looks and feels great and will give her a little colour, that will be forgiving if she makes a little mistake when applying.

I got this in Heavenly Berry and it does not show up on my lips at all. Otherwise, though, this is a lovely balm. It is moisturizing, smells like cotton candy and the packaging is lovely.If you have pigmented lips, though, you'll probably want to pass on these.
I'm not usually sensitive to lip products but this one in particular makes my lips peel like crazy. It's unfortunate, because I really enjoy the smooth slick texture of these and the sheer color payoff and color selection. I picked up a couple when they first launched - Nourishing Nude and Caring Coral are my favorites. Tender Mauve is a slightly cooler dupe of Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Boy, IMO. The packaging is very pretty and I'm a fan of the slight fruity/ floral scent and I also appreciate lip products with spf... But again, it's unfortunate that my lips react negatively to something in these, otherwise they would be an HG item to throw in my makeup bag or purse.
Got this on a whim in Tender Mauve - and I LOVE it!
It is a spot-on match for my natural lipcolor. The balm consistency moisturizes, adds shine, and has enough color to show up but look very natural. These lip balms feel amazing on, too, and they have spf 15. This particular color seems to go with everything, too.
I like this so much better than Revlon's Lip Butters. Revlon's product really dries my lips out when I use it often. :(
Will repurchase, and will buy more of these.

I am quite pleased with this product. It's actually much better than I anticipated. When I see the word "balm", I usually expect the product to offer very little. Other tinted balms I've tried have been too dry, too matte and/or undetectable. I didn't find those challenges with these (except for one).
I've noticed some reviewers stating the pigments are too sheer or non-existent. They are very sheer and subtle but I find some shades are more pigmented than others. I purchased Nourishing Nude, Tender Mauve and Heavenly Berry. The first thing I noticed was the texture. It glided on smoothly, felt comfortable and provided more moisturization than I expected. I would compare the feel of it to a soft chapstick but with more moisture and a lighter feel. I also like the level of shine. Certainly more shine than one would get from a chapstick, not as shiny as a gloss. Rather, I would describe it as a subtle sheen. The scent is not perfumey but faintly sweet, almost vanilla-like and very light. These balms also do not taste perfumey either. We inevitably ingest tiny amounts of lip products and I am personally very turned off by those that have a "perfumey make-up" taste to them. These do not taste like anything.
As for the color, while Tender Mauve surprisingly had more pigment than it would appear to, it was just a bit too cool for my skintone. Heavenly Berry was the sheerest of the three, which surprised me since it appeared to be one of the more intense shades. The color was almost undetectable, making it a $7 chapstick/lip moisturizer. Nourishing Nude is my favorite of the three. It has a nice neutral tone that gave me a sheer wash of color. So flattering and subtle.
These are great for everyday. Application is quick, easy and not messy. You could whip one of these out almost anywhere and quickly apply without really even needing a mirror. I'm not crazy about the packaging myself. I've never liked L'Oreal's lipstick tubes with the little notch in the lid. But the quality is good. I can toss these into my black hole of a handbag and not worry they'll crack or break. I would love to see a redesign of just the tube itself with a round fitted lid, similar to Clinique's Almost Lipstick tubes. Would make them less bulky and a bit more aesthetically pleasing, I feel.
Overall, I really like these. The look is very natural. When I look in the mirror, I don't see a coat of lipstick or the patent shine of a gloss. It just looks like my lips, only better (if that makes any sense).

I love this product - I got it in Rose Elixir from a lovely MUAer along with some Revlon Lip Butters and I definitely prefer this product. It is much more moist than the Revlon Lip Butters which I find too drying. The pigmentation isn't great and I would love to try this in a few different colours to see what they look like on, but they feel amazing on your lips - not drying at all. Unfortunately I can't seem to find them in the UK, maybe they're only available in the US :(
This caught my eye as I was browsing the L'oreal section. I'm a sucker for tinted glossy lip balm and quickly looked up reviews on MUA for this. While I read both good and bad reviews for this I decided to try it since I love glossy balms. I wouldn't call the consistency thin since it's smooth enough for you to rub your lips together after applying. It's actually really hard to find a tinted lip balm that isn't too dry that it accentuates all the flakes & lines on your lips. Color is a bit on the light side but it does show up, I imagine if it was any darker it wouldn't be so smooth and glossy. Everyone compliments it on the packaging and while I do love the main gold case (reminds of me YSL) I don't care too much for the see through cap. However most drugstore lipsticks have clear caps in order to show consumers the color but they could have included another solid color cap...oh wells...
The see through tinted caps does distort the actual color of the lipstick and although it wasn't a big difference when I got home and opened it I was slightly disappointed, so be prepared.
I didn't notice any sunscreen smell or anything disgusting, actually it has a light vanilla scent, very pleasant.
I haven't used it long enough to see if it does improve the condition of my lips but as long as it doesn't make it worst, I think I might go back to grab another color.
Update: still loving this but tried a few other colors like Nourishing Nude and Pink Satin, no color shows up. :( Also it looks as if they do not advertise this product containing SPF anymore, at least not on the cap or in the description.. bummer..
I got the Plush Plum and Tender Mauve. I love the sweet, sugary smell of these lip balms and the slick, glossy feel they have on the lips. I think the hint of color they give is lovely. I don't usually wear lipstick because I don't like the intense coloring. These are a great option for somebody who only wants sheer color with their gloss.

L'Oreal Color Riche Balms are slightly tinted, glossy balms available in 8 shades. I have Rose Elixir, the second lightest shade of the collection. Color Riche Balms have SPF 15 and contain Shea Butter as a moisturizing agent. Unfortunately L'Oreal products are tested on animals, and this balm contains non-vegan ingredients such as carmine. L'Oreal promises that this balm will give kissable, luscious color that will smooth the lips instantly, all while delivering 8 full hours of continuous hydration, resulting in lips that are softer and more supple. I'm having a hard time finding conclusive information about where L'Oreal products are made, but after some digging, I found that 20 of L'Oreal's 37 production plants are in France, 8 more in the US, so It's safe to assume that this product was made in one of those two countries. I purchased my Color Riche balm at Rite Aid for $3.75, with a $4 off coupon. The MSRP is $7.95, but I've seen prices vary from $5.25 to nearly $9, so these balms can get quite expensive.
May I say that the Color Riche balm's packaging is beautiful? It's so fancy and elegant! I give it 5 Quites. It looks so high end compared to most of it's drugstore counterparts. Lol I'm ranting about packaging again. A square, gold base with gold twist up mechanism is matched up with a pink, translucent, plastic cap that snaps on securely. The cap slants slightly and features the word "Balm" in gold lettering, written sideways. This packaging is a thing of beauty, but also functional and sturdy. I've dropped this tube onto concrete with not even a scratch of damage done.
In the tube, Rose Elixir appears to be a medium, neutral, rosy pink. However, once swatched onto the skin or lips, Rose Elixir shows it's true color; clear. There is a slight, super sheer pink tint, but it's negligible. If you have any natural pigmentation to your lips, this won't add any color, just a tad of glossiness. Don't get me wrong, the glossiness is pretty, and natural looking, but I was really disappointed with the near complete lack of color pay off. I mean it's called Color Riche. I assume that would mean it's rich in color, but I'm no French expert. Honestly, I don't feel like L'Oreal was upfront with how sheer their Color Riche balms are. Pretty sure they mentioned "luscious color" in their product overview. Luscious and Sheer are not synonyms. I have a feeling L'Oreal was trying to play on their Revlon Lip Butter fad with this product, but didn't bother to come up with as pigmented of a formula.
Despite failing in the color category, this is a pretty good balm. The texture of this balm is kinda a median between the Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters, which to me, are dry and waxy, and the greasy, slippy texture of Maybelline's Baby Lips balm. On the lips, it wears very comfortably, like a smoother, more moisturizing Chapstick. After L'Oreal's balm has sunken in a bit, it feels like what healthy lips should feel like. Silky, smooth, and a little bit moist. It's really enjoyable.
But do you really get 8 hours of continuous hydration? Sure, if you apply this balm 3 or 4 times in that eight hour span. From one application though? No. It's really about two or three hours of moisture. I feel a definite need to reapply after hour three. I don't really mind though, in my opinion three hours is a good amount of wear for what is essentially a clear balm. Unfortunately, because of frequent reapplication, I'm going through Rose Elixir rather quickly, not that you get a ton of product in the first place.
L'Oreal claims that their Color Riche balms continue to condition the lips even after removal. Normally I'd totally discount a claim like that. It doesn't really make sense does it? But I kinda believe it. Even with fully bare lips, my lips look much smoother and healthier since I've started using this product. Impressed.
These balms don't have an assigned flavor, but they do have a taste. Rose Elixir has a light but noticeable sunscreen taste and smell, which I partially expected considering the SPF content. To me, it's mildly pleasant, but others might find it bothersome.
L'Oreal Color Riche Balms are one of those products that has so many pros and cons that I can't really give it an appropriate amount of praise or hate. It's one of those product that you have to take a (slightly expensive) risk on and try for yourself and form your own opinion on. This balm is beautiful, never have I had such a perfectly packaged product before, the moisture and conditioning it gives is fantastic, and it's natural, glossy shine is pretty, but the utter lack of color payoff is a total put off, along with the nearly eight buck price tag. Rose Elixir is a product I'll enjoy while I have it, but I won't be repurchasing, unless I have another $4 off coupon.
