Blib, you're in NoCal, are you ok? Are in in the vicinity?
A reporter on CNN who is in the San Francisco area (near where Blib is) said he didn't feel the quake there. Apparently the quake was centered some 200 miles north of S.F.

I didn't know about it until I read about it here. We've had medium-to-small earthquakes the past couple of days here though. We're due for a biggie. It's strange the earthquake was so far north. Makes me wonder if it's the start of something big closer to where most of the faults are in the bay area. I live right on top of the Hayward fault which has a higher % of a large earthquake likely to happen than the other faults.

I wasn't sure exactly where it hit OR where you were. Anyway, according to this article, it was started as a rolling and ended with a jolt. From my experience, it's either one or the other. I don't know which is scarier really. I guess the quick jolts make me jump a little more. The Rollers you sort of stand/sit there and think "ok, is this the worst of it." Pretty scary sometimes though. TIS http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34785860/ns/us_news-life/

What are you gonna learn us uneducated hilbillies tomorrow That it's "teach" in the context you're wanting to use it. 1/2 J/K This from someone who comes from a part of the world where some ask if you would like "A Spot of tea?" Always wondered WTF a "SPOT of tea" really was!! 1/2 J/K av misst ya m8 where ya been? always gud 2 get ur TWO CENTS, especiallies afta the fact as 4 dat remark ive never heard of 'a spot of T' ive heard of 'a spot of bother' as in to get into 'a bit of trouble' but a 'spot of tea'? never heard of it lolol i do wonder from what sources ur getin ur marketed-for-america-in-anyway-hence-self-parody (like notting hill and love actually and that lol) representations of our PART OF THE WORLD (LMFAO) Then again, the UK is far from homogeneous. And I don't live in the South. I'm sure the 'illiterate and uneducated' remarks count for nothing beyond what a member actually posts.

LOS ANGELES - Barred from using lead in children's jewelry because of its toxicity, some Chinese manufacturers have been substituting the more dangerous heavy metal cadmium in sparkling charm bracelets and shiny pendants being sold throughout the United States, an Associated Press investigation shows.
The most contaminated piece analyzed in lab testing performed for the AP contained a startling 91 percent cadmium by weight. The cadmium content of other contaminated trinkets, all purchased at national and regional chains or franchises, tested at 89 percent, 86 percent and 84 percent by weight. The testing also showed that some items easily shed the heavy metal, raising additional concerns about the levels of exposure to children.

[quote=Lilo]But for the most part the relevant and applicable amendments in the Bill of Rights have been found to be incorporated against the States. I think that's a good thing, generally. While it may be a good thing, it's entirely made up. There is no constitutional basis for incorporation. In fact, James Madison's original speech to the 1st congress in June, 1789 which was a proposal for our Bill of Rights contained language to impose the speech requirements of the 1st amendment on the states, but it was rejected by the Congress. The constitutional basis for incorporation is the Due Process clause of the 14th Amendment. That is the basis that is used. However, that use eschews the original intent of the amendment's framers and ratifiers.
Oh I disagree with that. Section 1's language is quite explicit: No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. We also have this from John Bingham, the driving force behind ratification: "[M]any instances of State injustice and oppression have already occurred in the State legislation of this Union, of flagrant violations of the guarantied privileges of citizens of the United States, for which the national Government furnished and could furnish by law no remedy whatever. Contrary to the express letter of your Constitution, 'cruel and unusual punishments' have been inflicted under State laws within this Union upon citizens, not only for crimes committed, but for sacred duty done, for which and against which the Government of the United States had provided no remedy and could provide none. It was an opprobrium to the Republic that for fidelity to the United States they could not by national law be protected against the degrading punishment inflicted on slaves and felons by State law. That great want of the citizen and stranger, protection by national law from unconstitutional State enactments, is supplied by the first section of this amendment." His clear intent is to extend the protection of the US constitution to all citizens, where state laws either ignore or violate such protections. Also (Thaddeus)Stevens remarked that its provisions "are all asserted, in some form or another, in our DECLARATION or organic law. But the Constitution limits only the action of Congress, and is not a limitation on the States. This Amendment supplies that defect, and allows Congress to correct the unjust legislation of the States."And Jacob Howard , Senator from Michigan, also made the original intent very clear in debate over language of the Amendment. "After acknowledging the important role of the testimony before the Joint Committee, Howard referred to "the personal rights guaranteed and secured by the first eight amendments of the Constitution; such as freedom of speech and of the press;. .. the right to keep and bear arms". Howard averred: "The great object of the first section of this amendment is, therefore, to restrain the power of the States and compel them at all times to respect these great fundamental guarantees".
In the ensuing debate, no one questioned Howard's premise that the Amendment made the first eight amendments applicable to the states. Howard explained that Congress could enforce the Bill of Rights through the Enforcement Clause, "a direct affirmative delegation of power to Congress to carry out all the principles of all these guarantees." Howard added: "It [the amendment] will, if adopted by the States, forever disable every one of them from passing laws trenching upon those fundamental rights and privileges which pertain to citizens of the United States, and to all persons who happen to be within their jurisdiction."
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungleāas old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
