Magnitude 5.6 - SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, CALIFORNIA Posted: 31 Oct 2007 02:11 AM CDT I add this page to MY bookmarks Magnitude 5.6 - SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, CALIFORNIA The following is a release by the United States Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center: An earthquake occurred 105 km (65 miles) WNW of Queenstown, New Zealand and 710 km (440 miles) SW of WELLINGTON, New Zealand at 6:29 AM MDT, Oct 15, 2007 (Oct 16 at 1:29 AM local time in New Zealand). The magnitude and location may be revised when additional data and further analysis results are available. There have been no reports of damage. The following is a release by the United States Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center: An earthquake occurred 105 km (65 miles) WNW of Queenstown, New Zealand and 710 km (440 miles) SW of WELLINGTON, New Zealand at 6:29 AM MDT, Oct 15, 2007 (Oct 16 at 1:29 AM local time in New Zealand). The magnitude and location may be revised when additional data and further analysis results are available. There have been no reports of damage. Tectonic Summary New Zealand straddles the plate boundary between the Australian and Pacific plates in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. Along the length of New Zealands islands, this plate boundary consists of a transform fault system (the Alpine Fault) connecting two subduction zones of opposing convergence that lie to the north and south of the South Island, respectively. At the southern tip of New Zealand in a region known as Fiordland, the Australian Plate moves northeast with respect to the Pacific Plate at approximately 37 mm/year. Here, plate motion is accommodated via the subduction of a segment of the Australian plate beneath New Zealand (Pacific plate). Earthquake locations indicate that this subducted plate is highly deformed, and steeply dipping beneath Fiordland. Further to the north, this plate boundary transitions to strike-slip faulting along the Alpine Fault transform system. The magnitude 6.8 earthquake in the South Island of New Zealand on October 15, 2007 occurred on or close to the Australian:Pacific subduction plate boundary, and either indicates subduction related thrusting towards the east on this interface, or thrusting on a more steeply-dipping, westward oriented structure. Slip vectors for this earthquake, which indicate the direction of motion along the ruptured fault, do not align with plate motions and thus indicate a complicated tectonic setting for this event. The exact nature of how plate motions are accommodated at this plate boundary is not clearly understood, and is presently being debated by the scientific community. The October 15th event is approximately 50 km northeast of the magnitude 7.2 earthquake of August 2003, which indicated similarly complicated tectonics. Over the past two decades, this region has witnessed several large earthquakes, including the M7.2 event in 2003, a M7.0 event in August of 1993, and several other M6+ earthquakes.

Bay Area Earthquake:Updated Posted: 31 Oct 2007 02:12 AM CDT Bay Area Earthquake:Updated I add this page to MY bookmarks bay area, bay area map, earth quick, mercurynews, bay area local news Bay Area Earthquake:Updated Like most people tonight, I was huddled in my most comfy chair watching the tube when the earthquake hit. It was just a swell coming up through the chair, shimmying the house and getting the dining room light fixture swinging. My husband and I, both California natives, looked at each other without even a flinch. "Earthquake," he says. Maybe I should check the news. All but KRON-Channel 4 made do with a quick on-air recognition that, indeed, an earthquake had just happened. KRON stayed on the air, although you might wonder why when all the station did was repeat the information we had already: 5.6, centered in Alum Rock. Seriously, how many people do you want to hear telling about how they were sitting there and then…well, you read the top of this so you know what everyone said. If you popped over to the Web sites, you got more information. Well, not from KRON-Channel 4, but I've got to applaud both KPIX-Channel 5 and KGO-Channel 7 for their preparedness. They had maps, reports, guides to weathering an earthquake and then they even had a video you could watch of the station breaking the story on air. Sure, Ken Bastida thought Tony Russomano was Len Ramirez at first, but it was a minor bobble. And I could never get the live Web cam to work. But I scored this Web site as the easiest to use. Over at KGO, we clicked on Dan Ashley breaking the news. While Ken stayed on for almost eight minutes, Dan made do with about 2.35. KTVU-Channel 2, which has a really cluttered Web page that isn't easily navigated under the best of circumstances, had an AP story but no video posted at first. Later, there was a video with Julie Haener. But you had to sit through a stupid car commerical with some guy getting a tattoo removed before you could watch it. San Jose-based KNTV-Channel 11, where the quake was centered, lacked the breaking news video on the page. Even worse, they had a video from an earlier quake that confused me until I realized they were talking about ANOTHER earthquake. Sure, this was just a moderate earthquake, but in the case of a real earthquake, we'd like to know the best place to go on the Web for info.

No, I'm Not Your SF Bay Area Earthquake Expert Posted: 31 Oct 2007 02:13 AM CDT I add this page to MY bookmarks No, I'm Not Your SF Bay Area Earthquake Expert Wouldn't you know it? Just yesterday, I was joking with my wife that the one thing about California I'm missing by being in Colorado this week was the potential for an earthquake. Seriously. It always seems the "interesting" earthquakes take place when we're out of town, so the next time we're traveling, we'll be sure to warn you, as this evening the Bay Area was hit with a 5.6 magnitude event, the strongest in nearly 20 years. How do you think I found about it? I certainly didn't feel it here in Denver. And nobody called to see if we were okay, as anybody who would care already knew we weren't in the danger zone. I found out because while thumbing through the referrals to my blog on the Blackberry during some downtime, an odd string of searches from Google started popping up: "recent earthquake in silicon valley", "earthquake hits bay area", "was it an earthquake tonight in sf bay area?" and "sf earthquake tonight" for starters... That of course got me curious. First, it turns out a note from early March (Yet Another Small Earthquake Hits SF Bay Area) is #2 worldwide in Google for "recent earthquake in Silicon Valley" and #1 for "was it an earthquake tonight in sf bay area?". People from around the Web were looking for answers, hoping I could help. A few clicks later, and I too was finding out the news. I've talked about earthquakes before on the blog, in December 2006 and June 2006, and I actually see them as a unique bit of California, something to be respected but not feared. We don't get home until late Monday night, but we don't expect anything to be different. The flat-screen TV better be right where we left it, and the house better be in the same level of disarray we saw when we closed the door Sunday. And maybe the next time there's a good-sized earthquake, I'd like to not find out about it from my Web log statistics.

Alum Rock best spray bed liner Posted: 31 Oct 2007 02:16 AM CDT I add this page to MY bookmarks alum rock ca map, alum rock california, alum rock san jose, bay area map, milpitas ca 10 Reasons why we are the choice when it comes to best spray bed liner in Alum Rock Do not haul heavy loads (light hauling OK) for 24 hours after getting your new bedliner. Clean your bedliner with plain soap, water, and a bristle brush. High pressure water washing is also OK. Apply Just Once 3-4 times per year. NEVER use paste wax on your bedliner (it will leave a stain). Car wash spray waxes are OK and will not harm your liner. Although your liner will not rust, rust will stain the liner. Always clean the liner after hauling rusty items. Licensed Alum Rock Sprayer Technicians - The uniform, fine grain textured appearance of our liners depends on sprayer technique and skills. That's why we lead our technicians through a brutal 6-12 months of training. And ONLY those that make it through our training AND testing become Certified Sprayers. This is crucial when it comes to best spray bed liner Proprietary 9 Step Taping System – The laser straight, ultra sharp bedliner lines we are known for are created in the very first step we take to prepare a truck for spraying. We use special materials, techniques, and training for our Prep Technicians to create these results. Triple Cleaning Procedure – Before we spray we air wash carefully, wipe with alcohol (using a rag folding technique), and air wash again, every square inch of truck bed. This is to make sure it's 100% debris free. That way you'll never have a delamination problem. High Volume Exhaust Spray Area – The critical steps of bed cleaning and spraying are done in an enclosed area at our shop near Alum Rock equipped with a high volume air filtered exhaust system. This ensures a particulate free spray environment, and therefore no delamination problems later. This is critical as it applies to best spray bed liner Fine Texture Spray Techniques – We've developed a special proprietary spraying method unique to the industry that gives our beds a very uniform, fine grain textured appearance. Our Alum Rock Certified Sprayers must complete 6-12 months of training and testing in this method. Check Out Our Locations Near Alum Rock For best spray bed liner best spray bed liner Pleasanton | best spray bed liner Rancho Cordova | best spray bed liner Stockton | best spray bed liner Sacramento | best spray bed liner San Jose Quality Assurance Program – As part of our Quality Assurance Program, we measure and record the exact amount of material sprayed into the bed of every truck we do. These records help us validate warranty claims, and keep and eye on the performance of our Certified Sprayers. 13 Point After Job Inspection – After every job, before the bedliner is dispatched, we perform a 13 point quality inspection checking for everything from tape marks and overspray, to surface imperfections and re-attachment of all hardware. Any issues are immediately corrected. FREE Maintenance Supplies – Keeping your bedliner looking smashing and resistant to UV damage involves some upkeep. You should use a protectant to the bed 3-4 times per year. To make this really simple, we'll give you a FREE lifetime supply of Just Once protectant (terms and conditions apply.). Lifetime Warranty – Your Alum Rock bedliner is guaranteed against flaws in workmanship and material for as long as you own your truck. This warranty is honored at any Spray-On Bedliner location. Every customer is given a Certificate of Warranty. $200 Rebate – In addition to everything we do to install the best quality bedliner into your truck, we also give you a deferred cash back voucher for $200, payable through CashBack America, Inc., see store for details (terms and conditions apply).

Earthquake today:updated Posted: 31 Oct 2007 02:25 AM CDT I add this page to MY bookmarks sfchronicle, earthquakes today, ktvu channel 2, earthquake in the bay area, earthquake october 30 Earthquake today:updated From Los Gatos, California From the San Jose Mercury News: A 5.6 magnitude earthquake centered near Alum Rock in San Jose struck at 8:04 tonight. Well, guess who was sitting at dinner at 8:04 pm and felt, as the song goes, "the earth move under my feet?" Me. That's who. When you hear, read, or see a news story about an earthquake you think about Japanese people jumping under tables while tins of shark fin soup come tumbling off the shelves in the background. I am not that experienced in dealing with earthquakes. Or shark fin soup. Everyone who grew up on Long Island and has been through an earthquake, raise hands. No one? What a surprise! Wanna know why? It's because we don't have earthquakes on Long Island. Gang wars? We got. Mafia activities? Enough to start a new HBO series. Jets and Mets fans? We got by the thousands. Earthquakes? We got none. A bunch of the staff of the Fred Thompson for President campaign were sitting at dinner when it felt like a subway train (they don't have subways in Los Gatos, I don't think) came rumbling under the restaurant. The younger, more delicate flowers with whom I was eating sat stock still with their eyes wide. "Earthquake," I said calmly, being older, wiser, and pretty sure there are no subways in Los Gatos. According to my mapping program, Los Gatos is about 14 miles from the epicenter of this earthquake which was at Alum Rock, California. While it was called a "moderate" earthquake by people who were not in it, I am here to tell you that the chandelier over our heads did not stop swinging for a good 5 - 6 seconds after the rumbling stopped. My glass of Pinot Noir didn't stop sloshing around for another 2.3 to 2.5 seconds. The reality is: I didn't see any cattle heading for shelter, nor any household pets running under the living room furniture just before I took a bite of my pasta and shrimp entrée. No bridges collapsed, no houses fell down, and no freeways pancaked. It was, actually, pretty cool, but it did remind me that it was one more reason why I have no desire to live in California. New Topic The Democrats had another in the never-ending series of debates last night, this time hosted by MSNBC at Drexel University in Philadelphia which, when we were kids, we called "Dreck Tech" although I don't now remember why we thought that was funny. Barak Obama (averaging just under 22% in the Real Clear Politics polling index) and John Edwards (about 13% in the RCP index) took out after Hillary Clinton (46% in the index) but it may be after 11 months of campaigning attacks on Hillary have the same effect on voters as a tree falling in a forest where no one ever goes. If either Edwards or Obama had any credibility left, they would be challenging Clinton for answers like this one on a recent vote on Iran: "In my view, rushing to war we should not be doing that but we shouldn't be doing nothing. And that means we should not let them acquire nuclear weapons, and the best way to prevent that is a full court press on the diplomatic front." Uh. Yeah. What she said. SIDEBAR When the cable affiliates of NBC hosted the Republican debate in Dearborn, Michigan a month ago they ran Chris Matthews in to do the questioning. Last night, the Dems got Tim Russert. You think there's no bias? END SIDEBAR Hillary is very close to building an insurmountable lead on the Democratic side, which is good news to Republicans. As Sen. Chris Dodd pointed out during the debate, "Fifty percent of the American public say they're not going to vote for her." Watch for the Democratic primary to get very nasty, very quickly. Obama, Edwards, Richardson and the rest are running out of time to stop Hillary Clinton from getting the nomination. They can't afford to talk about themselves; they have to talk about her and when they do, they will have to say appalling things about her. Seismic, almost.
