It seems that the Schiavo case suggests that American society cherishes
the values of greed and selfish indifference over compassion and the
value of the family.
Therefor, I was told by Zotan, greatest of all Leaping Lemur Jackasses,
the singer of the Great Hogath Ballad, mytsical rythms capable of
opening astral dimensional crawl ways, and who was present at the
overthrow of the Great Supplicators durng the Nogatalod era, only to be
resurrected as fearsome Solarths, the following warning:
The habitation area known a coastal California, as the people of the
temporal nation of America refer to it, will suffer a series of minor
geological disturbances. These will not be enough to cause much damage,
but they will be very frequent and over a period of time. They will
paralleles with similiar activities of the feature they call Mt. St.
Helens. This will be persistant, and will culminate in larger natural
land convulsions, such that habitation areas already weakened by the
minor disturbances will easily disintegrate.
Have grace on us, Zotan.

None of the East County's four Indian casinos sustained any damage or
disruptions. At Sycuan Casino near El Cajon, surveillance director Ed
Magdaleno said videotape shows gamblers with quizzical expressions on
their faces.
"Nobody actually gets up, but . . . they're looking around the room,"
he said, watching a replay of the tape. "They all kind of register
something."
Within seconds, however, the gamblers were back to their routine of
feeding coins into the slot machines.
"They said, 'Oh, we had an earthquake,' and back to bed they went."

Early-morning temblor awakens many, but causes little damage
By Alex Roth
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
10:02 p.m. April 12, 2005
It sounded like a locomotive, or a loud boom, or like somebody jumping
up and down on the roof.
A small earthquake centered in Jamul could be felt all over the county
Tuesday, rattling folks awake in their beds shortly after 4 a.m.

The magnitude 3.9 temblor lasted just a few seconds and caused minimal
damage, but it could be felt as far north as Lake Perris, 75 miles
away.
"It was so loud that I thought something exploded - somebody's house
or a propane tank or something," said Cheryl Stewart, who lives on
Proctor Valley Road in Jamul.
The epicenter was near Ava Loma Road and Lyons Valley Road, according
to scientists at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
"It was felt pretty much through the entire San Diego area," said
seismic analyst Anthony Guarino.
No serious damage was reported, he said - "nothing more than possibly
knocking something down off a shelf that was placed precariously."
Cathy Gale, who lives with her husband and two children on Skyline
Truck Trail, was jolted out of her sleep by what sounded "like a
freight train coming through our house."
"To me, it felt like the house was kind of picked up and slammed," she
said.
Gale is an eighth-grade physical science teacher at Oak Grove Middle
School in Jamul. The temblor provided an opportunity to teach her
students about the physics of quakes.
No power outages were reported, according to San Diego Gas & Electric
Co. Police and fire officials received no reports of serious damage.

he said, watching a replay of the tape. "They all kind of register
something."
Within seconds, however, the gamblers were back to their routine of
feeding coins into the slot machines.
In Mexico, workers with Baja California's Civil Protection agency
discovered cracks in six school classrooms in Tecate, which is the
Mexican city closest to Jamul. Authorities were trying to determine
Tuesday whether the fissures would pose a threat to the building's
structure.
In short, the quake wasn't nearly scary enough to make the typical
Southern Californian lose any sleep.
Cheryl Stewart, who works as an attendance and health clerk at Oak
Grove Middle School, said her husband and three children were
nonchalant about the whole episode.
"They said, 'Oh, we had an earthquake,' and back to bed they went."
Staff writers Chet Barfield and Anna Cearley contributed to this
report.

Earthquakes possible here, so be prepared
Tuesday, April 12, 2005
By Ian Rollins
The Argus
Anyone who was here in February 2001, or in March 1993, knows northern
Oregon is not immune from earthquakes.
The 1993 and 2001 tremors weren't as large as the quakes which have
rocked southern California and the Bay Area in the last 20 years, but
that type of quake is possible in this area.
In fact, Oregon is vulnerable to the same type of quake that caused the
deadly tsunami last year in the Indian Ocean. That magnitude-9 quake,
which occurred off the Indonesian coast, lasted for six minutes.
It's possible here because, in the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coast,
a part of the Pacific plate is constantly rubbing against the North
American plate. If those two plates caused a "subduction" quake like
the one off Indonesia, it would "change life as we know it in the
Northwest," said James Roddy, public education coordinator for the
Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries.
"We think there will be an incredible amount of damage, especially to
brick and mortar buildings," Roddy told a group of industrial safety
officials last week. "=C9=94he resources of the U.S. government wouldn't be
enough to respond. It might take decades for the Northwest to recover."
That's a worst-case scenario, but a few other fault lines run through
the Portland area which could unleash a 6.5-magnitude quake. That's
about the magnitude of the 1994 earthquake north of Los Angeles, which
caused $44 billion in damage, Roddy said.
A quake like that wouldn't level the area, but it might leave people
isolated from basic services for at least a few days. Fire and rescue
officials stress the importance of keeping three days of supplies on
hand at all times in case that happens.
"Seventy-two hours is the minimum," said Sharon Kennedy, emergency
operations manager for the city of Hillsboro. "We encourage you to go
above and beyond that."
Kennedy and other Washington County public safety agencies encourage
everyone to keep their supplies in one place, like a large garbage can.
It should have a three-day supply of water, canned and other
non-perishable foods for all family members and pets, a manual can
opener and eating utensils, blankets, first-aid supplies, batteries,
battery-operated clocks and radios, flashlights, matches, prescription
drugs, a cook stove with fuel, gloves, money, tools and extra clothing.
It takes a lot of work to put a 72-hour kit together, so Kennedy has
put together a month-by-month schedule to purchase items for it and
keep everything current. That list can be found online at
ci.hillsboro.or.us/emergencyinfo.
Citizens also can do things around their residences to limit some of
the earthquake damage. For example, put baby latches on all kitchen
cupboards and bolt all bookcases and dressers to the wall. Products are
available to attach a computer to a desk or stick a vase to a shelf.
Kennedy plans to have a list of the "Top 12" reasons why it's a good
idea to prepare in advance for an earthquake. The list, which she put
together with the help of local HAM radio operators, will run in her
Safety Net column in Thursday's Argus.
"One of the reasons that didn't make the list was, 'because you'll miss
your dishes when they're gone,'" Kennedy said.

quake locations and relative magnitude with blue squares.
EL CAJON - A 3.9-magnitude earthquake centered near Jamul rattled San
Diego County today, followed by a small aftershock.
The quake, its epicenter about 9.4 miles east southeast of El Cajon and
3 miles east of Jamul, struck at 4:06 a.m., Caltech seismologist Kate
Hutton reported.
The U.S. Geological Survey gave a preliminary magnitude of 4.0 to the
initial quake, but downgraded it to 3.9 three hours later.
A 2.4-magnitude temblor centered in the same area was reported four
minutes later, according to the USGS.
The quake could be felt as far north as Temecula in Riverside County,
seismologists said.
Forums: Read or post comments about the quake
A 4.0-magnitude quake is capable of causing moderate damage, but no
injuries or damages were immediately reported, according to El Cajon
police officials and a Heartland fire dispatcher.

Uranus blamed for quakes
30/03/2005 17:41 - (SA)
Hamburg - Uranus may be responsible for recent devastating Asian sea
quakes because the mystery-shrouded "planet of calamity" is unusually
close to the Earth, tabloid newspaper readers in Germany were warned on
Wednesday.
Under the front-page headline "Uncanny Uranus", the report in Bild
newspaper cited an array of experts, ranging from Nasa scientists to TV
astrologers, saying the seventh planet from the sun possesses a
"quadri-polar" magnetic field that acts as "a giant cosmic vacuum
cleaner".
This heavenly Hoover is literally sucking the Earth's tectonic plates
out of their beddings, according to Bild, Europe's largest daily
newspaper with more than five million readers.
This magnetic pull is strongest along the Earth's equator because the
tropics are marginally closer to Uranus than the poles are.
The magnetic forces "are strong enough at the equator to suck up
electrically charged dust particles" which could, in turn, disturb the
Earth's crust and spawn killer sea quakes and resulting tidal waves.
The reason these natural phenomena have increased of late is that the
distant planet's orbit has brought Uranus uncomfortably close to Earth.
Instead of being its usual 3.14 billion kilometres from Earth, Uranus
currently is a mere 2.59 billion kilometres away.
And it will remain this close through the year 2012, so Bild warns that
we could be in for more uncanny Uranian catastrophes well into the next
decade until Uranus slowly retreats back into its proper place in the
Outer Solar System.
"With its 11 rings and 18 moons, Uranus is in fact different from
everything else in our Solar System," said Edward Stone, Voyager
project scientist since 1972.
The German paper quoted Stone at length, saying that Voyager 2 had
raised almost more questions than it had solved.
Since launch on August 20 1977, Voyager 2's itinerary has taken the
spacecraft to Jupiter in July 1979, Saturn in August 1981, then
becoming the only spacecraft to visit Uranus and Neptune, in 1986 and
1989 respectively. Both Voyager 2 and its twin, Voyager 1, will
eventually leave our solar system and enter interstellar space.
Voyager 2's images of the five largest moons around Uranus revealed
complex surfaces indicative of varying geologic pasts. The cameras also
detected 10 previously unseen moons. Several instruments studied the
ring system, uncovering the fine detail of the previously known rings
and two newly detected rings.
Voyager data showed that the planet's rate of rotation is a brisk 17
hours, 14 minutes. The spacecraft also found that uncanny Uranian
magnetic field that is both large and unusual.
Because the axis of Uranus is tilted at right angles to all other
planets, its rings are at 90 degrees to the planet's orbit about the
sun.
But the paper also quoted astrologists who noted that Uranus has always
been an oddity. It has been equated with upheavals, calamitous change
and general quirkiness since it was discovered and added to the Zodiac
in the late 18th Century.
"There's a planetary constellation right now that could be responsible
for flooding and earthquakes," astrologer Karin Stahl said ominously.
And Germany's best-known astrologer, Winfried No?, who recently
launched the world's first occult-arts television network, Astro TV,
was quoted as saying the phase of natural catastrophes could last a
decade or more because it takes that long for Uranus to transit an
astrological sign.
"Uranus is currently in the sign of Pisces," No? told the paper. "And
that is a harbinger of disaster." - Sapa-dpa
