Wednesday (11/10/10) Update: A respite for Indonesia and upswing for the Philippines

Two volcanoes are headed into different directions this week - activity at Merapi appears to be down while explosions are continuing at Bulusan. This is not to say that the volcanoes respective trajectories are constant. They could easily change their behavior, and sometimes quite quickly, so don't take any short-term trends as reflecting anything more than what the volcano is doing right now.
