PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/19/09 -- QuakeFinder, the Humanitarian R&D division of Stellar Solutions, Inc. has analyzed data gathered from the Alum Rock earthquake in October 2007. QuakeFinder has one of their specialized ground sensors located approximately 2 miles from the epicenter of the Alum Rock earthquake. The Natural Hazards and Earth Systems Science journal recently accepted a paper by QuakeFinder which details both satellite and ground sensors detection of three independent electromagnetic signals two weeks prior to the October 30, 2007 Alum Rock M5.4 earthquake. QuakeFinder detected ultra low frequency magnetic pulsations and large changes in air conductivity near the ground during the two weeks prior to the quake. In addition, collaborators at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory detected nighttime infra-red signatures in the same area simultaneously from the GOES-West weather satellite. These three signatures were compared with normal signals collected over the previous two years, and it was noted that the changes followed a similar timeline (two weeks) which occurred prior to the 1989 Loma Prieta M7.0 earthquake. The Alum Rock earthquake analysis has been discussed in California Space Authority's Winter issue of SpaceBound! ( http://www.californiaspaceauthority.org/spacebound-08-v25) and covered by NBC's Bay Area News(http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Bay_Area_Centers_in_on_Earthquake_ Prediction_Bay_Area.html). QuakeFinder currently has 55 ground sensors in the CA area, and plans to increase the network in California and internationally, allowing the capture and analysis of more earthquake data, thereby providing additional corroboration earthquakes could be forecast by monitoring electromagnetic changes around fault zones.

Quake jolts California
LOS ANGELES- A 4.6-MAGNITUDE earthquake jolted central California shortly before dawn Saturday, the latest in a series of quakes that have rattled the most populous US state, the US Geological Survey reported.
The temblor struck at 5.32 am local time (8.32 pm Singapore time) about halfway between the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco, and 22 kilometres east of the town of San Simeon, site of the historic Hearst Castle built by media magnate William Randolph Hearst.
The quake registered at a depth of six kilometers.
A 4.7-magnitude earthquake shook the region May 23, less than a week after a pair of similar temblors rattled the highly populated southern part of the state.
Geologists say an earthquake capable of causing widespread destruction is 99 percent certain of hitting California within the next 30 years. -- AFP
The following text written as an open letter to president Obama by three prominent German physicians provides details on the adverse health effects of digital broadcasting.
OPEN LETTER Bamberg, February 12, 2009
To the President of the United States of America
To the Citizens of the United States of America
To the Members of the House of Representatives
To the Members of the Senate
Warning Against Adverse Health Effects from the Operation of Digital Broadcast Television Stations (DVB-T)
Dear President Obama:
Dear Members of the House of Representatives:
Dear Members of the Senate:
Dear Citizens of the United States of America:
In the US, digital broadcast television is scheduled to start operating on February 17, 2009. We write to you today because we wish to save you from the significant negative health consequences that have occurred here in Germany. In Germany, analog broadcast television stations have gradually been switching to digital broadcast signals since 2003. This switch over first took place in metropolitan areas. In those areas, however, the RF exposures in public places as well as at home continued to increase at the same time. As a result, the continuing declining health status of children, adolescents, and adults in urban areas could not be attributed to any single cause. On May 20, 2006, two digital broadcast television stations went on the air in the Hessian Rhoen area (Heidelstein, Kreuzberg), which until recently had enjoyed rather low mobile phone radiation exposure levels. Within a radius of more than 20 km, the following symptoms that occurred abruptly were reported: constant headaches, pressure in the head, drowsiness, sleep problems, inability to think clearly, forgetfulness, nervous tensions, irritability, tightness in the chest, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, depressive mood, total apathy, loss of empathy, burning skin, inner burning, leg weakness, pain in the limbs, stabbing pain in various organs, weight increase.
Birds had fled the area. Cats had turned phlegmatic and hardly ever went into the garden. One child committed suicide; a second child tried doing it. Over time the same unbearable symptoms showed up in other locations—most recently in Bamberg and Aschaffenburg on November 25, 2008. Physicians accompanied affected people to areas where there was no DVB-T reception (valleys, behind mountain ranges) and witnessed how these people became symptom-free only after a short period of time.
The respective agencies responsible in Germany were approached for help, but they declined to follow up on the strongly suggestive evidence in the actual locations. The behavior of the government agencies disregards the fundamental rights of affected people guaranteed in the German Constitution.
In Germany, DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial) uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex Modulation. The fundamental principle of this type of modulation works by spreading the information across several thousand carrier frequencies directly adjacent to each other. A channel is 7.8 MHz wide. The amplitude also changes constantly. The WHO, the German Radiation Protection Commission, and the German Federal Ministry of the Environment rely on the Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Fields (up to 300 GHz), (Health Physics 74 (4): 494-522; 1998) published by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). In this document, it says: p. 495: "These guidelines will be periodically revised and updated as advances are made in identifying the adverse health effects of time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields." p. 507: "Interpretation of several observed biological effects of AM electromagnetic fields is further complicated by the apparent existence of "windows" of response in both the power density and frequency domains. There are no accepted models that adequately explain this phenomenon, which challenges the traditional concept of a monotonic relationship between the field intensity and the severity of the resulting biological effects." Why are the German agencies in charge not willing to help identify the adverse health effects? Since immediately, after digital broadcast television stations had started transmitting, adverse health effects have occurred, the review of the Guidelines announced by the ICNIRP is imperative. Obviously, there are response windows contained within the broad frequency bands with their several thousand frequencies that change constantly and whose amplitude also changes constantly. The ICNIRP had already pointed out this possibility.
In 1992, Dipl.-Ing. Rüdiger Matthes, member of ICNIRP and of the Geman Radiation Protection Agency (BfS), emphasized the preliminary status of the exposure limits in a hearing on the health risks of electromagnetic radiation: "…They (electromagnetic exposure levels) are several orders of magnitude higher than the natural background radiation levels of nontechnical sources…In parallel to this development, findings of scientific studies according to which long-term exposure to such fields may trigger adverse health effects keep accumulating.…In this context, it is also important to recognize that there are large differences in exposure levels within a given population. A small child, for example, absorbs much more RF energy than an adult person…There are several findings on low-level exposures, which are considered scientifically validated because they have been reproduced often but which are rather difficult to interpret.
The impact of mostly pulsed or ELF modulated RF radiation on cell metabolism, for example, counts among them. It has been observed that the efflux of certain ions (e.g. calcium) from a cell increases during exposure to such fields. The occurrence of this effect is described almost completely independent of the actual field strength. It can be found at extremely low absorption levels.…With all the currently available scientific findings, there remain some crucial questions unanswered. …There are gaps in the so-called body of evidence. That means that the biological effects, for example, have only been investigated for individual frequencies. Data (e.g. effect thresholds) on the various biological effects across the entire frequency spectrum are not available.
The exposure limits, therefore, are based on an approach that greatly simplifies the very complex reality whose details are unfathomable. It should also be noted that concrete data on possible effects of long-term exposures are mostly lacking." Real life teaches us that it was wrong to simplify. In Germany, we see strong evidence of a direct temporal association between the start-up of terrestrial digital broadcast television and the occurrence of severe health symptoms. Dr.-Ing. W. Volkrodt, former R&D engineer at Siemens, recognized the danger of electromagnetic fields for humans, animals, and plants. He pinned his hopes on policymakers who would listen to reason when he wrote in 1987: "Future historians will refer to the RF dilemma during the period from around 1975 to 1990 as a short, time-limited ‘technical incident.' Owing to the introduction of fiber optic technology, this incident could be remediated quickly and effectively." Satellites and cable provide the US population with television services. By contrast, the risk associated with terrestrial digital broadcast television transmitters is unacceptable.
We, therefore, ask you, dear Mr. President, who has the wellbeing of his citizens at heart, to stop the scheduled introduction of this new technology in the United States of America and to save the people from the negative health consequences that have occurred in our country.

Coursework, iSketch & Backgrounds
Lmao, I've been in a relationship with Shelly for a week now. :)
I haven't seen her since Saturday - she's going to come and see me tomorrow.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had such a fucking funny dream last night.
I dreamt my mam was eating a pufferfish sandwich - basically a pufferfish in a bun.
A wholemeal bun (which is probably why I was asking her if we had buns in today then demanding why when she said no) - and she was nomming on it until it slipped out from the bread.
Then it proceeded to BOUNCE AROUND THE ROOM LIKE A BALL.
I woke up pissing myself laughing, I swear to God.
David was amused when I told him and mam after I'd gone downstairs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today was another say of wasting half the day in bed.
Then I got up, ate cheesy hotdogs and played Guitar Hero: World Tour for about 5 hours.
I'm addicted to playing my Saria's Song.
I've uploaded it to GHTunes.
I had a browse through them - there's 3 others, so including my own - there's 4 Saria's Songs.
In my own personal opinion - mine is the 2nd best.
The best one is by some gadge called The Polar Bear Tree - his, or hers - has a proper mint drum beat. Really similar to the actual song. I didn't have the drum sheet music, nor do I have a great musical ear, so I just made up my own drum beat.
The other two Saria's Songs are shitty electronic versions, and they're both PROPER out of tune.
Out of tune to the point where it hurts your brain to listen to them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've actually got 3/4 of my coursework finished now.
Shock fucking horror, I know.
My first piece and my first commentary are totally done now.
The commentary is a pile of fucking bollocks, however.
I found a way to do it - turn on VICARIOUS at proper high volume and block out the thoughts surrounding you.
I actually wrote Regenbogen-Streifen to Vicarious too... And some Blackmore's Night songs. Ivory Tower was one of them, I believe.
I can write so well if I listen to the bands in my INSPIRATIONAL BANDS list.
(See the older blog, knob. :P)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I spent the rest of the night on the phone to Shelly and playing on iSketch with Adam.
Oh, good times.
iSketch is something Adam and I haven't played for a long time.
Rofl, the great times we've had in KELLY'S MAM.
Adam: "OMG AYSHEA, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
Kelly_Green: "What's a Miraan?"
Adam: "OMG AYSHEA, STOP DRAWING YOSHI."
Ayshea: "BUM THRILLS!"
Dixie: "She cracked the ice? LMFAO, IS SHE FAT?!"
Every time we play, something legendary happens.
Today's highlights were Adam having a fit over "HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DRAW 'ACADEMY'?!", my hilarious drawing of cows in a field...
One of the words I got to draw was "TAILOR", so I wrote "LOL, SHE EATS POO." - a reference to Taylor - so Adam got it straight away.
He told me to print screen this:
I had to draw "SMILE" - so I drew a big scary Foxon-esque gadge in yellow.
Yellow is a HAPPY COLOUR.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before I went to bed, I had a faff on Photoshop and I made this white paint splatter background for my blog.
I would have had it as the background for the blog as well, not just the page - but there's a really ugly joining line where the plugins stop and the page background starts.
So I just have the empty black space there now.
First Time Beautiful
You glide
and I stop.
let’s try this
you glide
and I stop.
you smile patiently
I push
and in.
tiles and a towel
warm hair
hot skin
comfortable
inside me.
a wet kiss
no thought for the weary
no worry, no thought
belts off and ready
this is right
so right.
no hesitation,
and a hug.
and we lay,
in and out
breathe
in and out
breathe deep
Of wonder…

like wow I haven't written a poem for a very long time!
I think, I haven't wanted to capture my life anymore... so sick of it. so sick ofmy feelings, of myself. I didn't write much in my journal either. I'm trying to. I look at my old stuff, and some of it I just hate. I sometimes feel that there is nothing new to be written. That it's all just cliche, why bother...And my boyfriend is encouraging me, to try to forget that voice, and just write, like I used to... <3
And this poem is the same title as a previous blog entry, which I had an idea that I might write a poem, but it didn't fully form at the time. I was reading a poem online, and it gave me the idea, that I had been thinking all along, how I really want to capture this amazing moment...
I still don't believe it. I hope heaven is amazing, and that your smile is warming hearts up there until we all meet up again.
Going to listen to some Kenny and some Anna Molly and maybe look at some pictures. It hurts, though.
*If I had known that the last time I saw you would be the last time I'd see you...
I would have told you so much*
GRIEF, PEOPLE. XD
Vicki, one of my longtime best friends since Grade Five, recently told me over MSN that her boyfriend broke up with her that she had been dating for about a year and a little bit. She's been telling me since how upset she's been about it, and I keep trying to comfort her.
I went to Youth tonight, saw Myles. But soon enough, Jocelyn (one of Vicki's friends, she kinda annoys me though - she's a big chatterbox)came up to me and told me that Vicki needed me. I looked around, and noticed Vicki had disappeared. I followed Jocelyn into the ladies washroom, to find a worried Jocelyn, torn up Vicki, a concerned Marissa (another one of my buddies who is nearly 20) and a confused me. Vicki hadn't been crying, but I could tell by how red her eyes were that she had been. The poor girl.
We kept telling Vicki how everything would be alright in the long run. I told her that there were many better fish in the sea than her boyfriend, Matt, was. Jocelyn was back and forth, between comforting Vicki and yelling at Matt (he also goes to Youth, for some reason that is unknown). I was sort of spying on the conversations they held; only to discover that her boyfriend didn't really care. He also said, "If she wasn't so clingy, then maybe we would get back together." I raised a fist to myself, indicating how much I wanted to punch him, and whispered "jerk" to myself. I retreated back to the washrooms, and soon enough, I confessed how much I could relate to her - and then everything about the abusive relationship I was in spilled out.
Everyone looked so shocked when I was telling my story, and I could tell they just couldn't believe it as I told every detail. About the persuaded cybersex, and I only discovered today that somebody thinks it's considered "sexual harrassment"... Would it be...? And then when I got to the part of the story where I admit that I used to cut myself, I just broke down and bawled. Marissa was hugging and holding me so tightly as I buried my head into her shoulder. Then she told me to look at her, and I did - and she grabbed me by the shoulders, and told me that absolutely nothing was my fault. She asked if I was the first ones I told this to, and I said "pretty much". I told them how insane and unhappy I felt, and they said that my experience with this consistant emotional abuse must have been Satan`s work. I denied, and said it was God's - for I do believe my experience happened for a reason. Marrisa then looked me in the eyes, grabbed me by the shoulders again, and said:
"...Can I tell you something? I mean, something I know that is true."
"...What?"
"Jesus still loves you, Emily. He does so much."
And again, I started tearing up again. They kept telling me how much of a good person I was, and how much they both loved me. They kept telling me that I shouldn't take any blame for anything, and how I wasn't the bad person that she kept telling people I was.
And that was when Vicki started acting up...
She said she was becoming cold, and I noticed the red in her cheeks was beginning to quickly fade. She said she was starting to feel dizzy, and that was when she broke down so hard. Marissa and I were trying to keep her up on her feet; and Jocelyn went to get an adult. ML (short for Mary-Lynn) kept telling her to calm down, and that was when I decided to call my mom to come and pick us up. Mom agreed.
While we were waiting, Jocelyn told Vicki that her boyfriend was dating Cassandra (a girl she knows, who is 18). I frowned. How low can a person be? To break up with somebody, and start going out with your ex's friend like, two days later?
When mom arrived, I helped Vicki to the man. She couldn`t catch her breath. I asked Vicki if she wanted me to stay at her home for a few minutes, to help her calm down. She said, "Please...!"
Once mom pulled into Vicki's driveway, I quickly got out and helped Vicki into her home. Her mom was there, and Vicki broke down again. Her mom kept putting Vicki's head down. I kept telling her the same things, how Matt wasn't worth it, and how things like this just happen. I also said, "Vicki, when you become a mom, it's a good thing - because you'll be able to tell your kids this story when they go through the same thing." She kept spitting about how much she hated him, how she would never talk to him again - and how her love for him totally vanished. She stared at me hard, and said, "Emily, I wish you were at my High School!".
I remained silent for a moment, before I gently rested a hand on her shoulder and said, "Vicki... The mouth says one thing, and the heart and mind say the opposite. You may say you hate him, but deep down I know you still love him - even if it's a teeny bit. I know this is really heart breaking for you, but you're bigger than to be emotionally torn up by some jerkface like Matt."
Then Vicki's mom commented about how beautiful my smile was. I laughed, and thanked her. I said I had my mother's smile, and I told her how much I hated it, and covered it up with my hand. She told me to let it show, and then said that we needed more people who smile out there in this world. I agreed.
"Vicki, I know this is really tough for you..."
"I can't believe he DID that! And Cassandra, too!"
"...I know. But I can tell you, that I would never ever do something like that."
Then she rested her hand on my arm, "I know you wouldn't, Em'! I trust you, and I love you."
Then, her dad came downstairs to go pick up her little sister from a friend's house - and he offered to take me home. Vicki was looking a lot better than she had previously, so I asked her if she was gonna be okay, and she nodded and told me she would be fine. I stood up, slipped my coat on, and she hugged me and thanked me. Then her father spoke up...
"Hey," he said, speaking to his daughter. Vicki turned to look at him.
"That right there, that's a really good friend." Then I put my shoes on, got in his car, and he drove me home.
...Which leads me to here, as I wrote that blog entry.
