City officials say they have investigated every possible human cause. They checked water, sewer and gas lines, contacted the military about any exercises in the area, reviewed permits for mining explosives and inspected a dam next to city hall. They even tested methane levels at the landfill in case the gas was spontaneously exploding.

BOOM! Sleepless in Clintonville– and maybe more towns, too.
Noises and booms have kept residents awake several nights this week–mysterious sounds that have unnerved the town.. authorities have yet to find the source of the loud bangs and claps … residents are on edge, and the story has received worldwide attention after being broadcast on CNN and other sources.From the AP: The Wisconsin town just wants relief from the noises. According to the AP dispatch filed tonight on the Clintonville story, several residents are considering abandoning their lives in the town until officials figure out just what the noises are and where they are coming from. One resident quoted by the AP said that the noise shook her house.As of now, no natural source has been found to be the culprit of the bangs. As the AP writes,Some are scared.. some are worried.And while Clintonville shakes literally, this news arrives tonight: Police in Montello are investigating reports of booming noises similar to those happening in Clintonville! NBC15 in Madison Wisconsin reports that loud rumbles in Montello are shaking windows and rattling homes, just as what is occurring in Clintonville.The earth has not been a stranger to loud booms, rumbles, horns, and noises. Since last March, there has been a steady stream of reports from around the globe, starting in Kiev, of strange trumpet noises blasting through the sky. Sometimes during the day.. many times during the night. Loud booms and other noises are often natural occurrences. But the consistency and oddity of the noises coming from Clintonville, and maybe now other towns, is a cause for pause.. and concern. And confusion.Clintonville isn’t just letting the strangeness go by without further looking: They hired a firm to figure out what exactly is going bump in the night.The Earth Informer (and lots of other sources) are going to closely watch this story … -

What will happen to freedom of speech in LA?
Maybe a ban. If City Council gets its way and stops radio hosts from “racist” and “sexist” remarks.
A little too opened ended?
And we are going down this path of censorship.. because..? -

Another video making its way around the world
Despite some common sense on my part, I may as well link this up.. Someone is reporting a major quake coming on March 22..
Most people believe that we will see the 22nd with no occurrence of anything.. but .. no reason you shouldn’t at least enjoy the video as seen below:[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgPaLfmC16o]
And if the person who made the video is right? …well then as the old saying goes, I will eat crow.. or something more modern. Maybe rabbit.
Speaking of rabbits… I have seen a complete disappearance of them in Pennsylvania. Anyone else have that same issue?
Oh.. here is another video. At least this one added some calming music to listen to during calamity..

No rattle, no hum.. this appears to be a noise altogether different
We know the earth is groaning, or appears to be doing so.. and parts of the globe have a constant hum. But the noises rattling the town of Clintonville, Wisconsin, appear to be very different–and so important that even CNN is paying attention to what is going on..
There is shaking, explosions, and other unexplained noises. According to the CNN report, some say it sounds like rattling pipes or metal clanging. Homes are shaking–the noises are being heard on the other end of cell phone conversations.
Something is occurring.. something strange is going on.
CNN reports that the “natural” is inevitable.
One possible explanation is gas explosively escaping from underground rock formations. Another is a rock burst, which can happen when mining or quarrying uncovers long-buried rock, suddenly relieving stress and resulting in “locally loud, explosive reports.”
Others include meteorites, a phenomenon known as “booming sands” or even distant thunder, sounds that Hill wrote can be carried for significant distances under proper atmospheric conditions.
While some on Facebook and other web sources mock the noises in Clintonville, others take it more seriously. Speculation ensues: Underground bases being built? Seismic activity? The earth… telling us a story of hate for humans? All this and more is abundant on the web, where stories like this have prominence over those of politics that one commonly finds on the big three 24/7 network news stations..

A tale of two percentages
Mitt Romney won a major victory tonight in Illinois, potentially solidifying his reign over the other Republicans in the field and propelling him to become nearer to the finish line of the needed delegates for a victory at the convention.. but a tale of two numbers ensues.He won over 50% of the vote.. final tabulations are still coming in slowly because, after all that voter reform, some ballots still didn’t fit into boxes intended for them to be housed in…
And it was sunny. Not rainy at all.. no storms.. Nice and warm for March. And no one voted.
Mitt Romney’s wake up call? Or the price one pays for inevitability: No one cares after a while..?

Major quake hits Mexico
The biggest earthquake since 2003 took place today in Mexico. Initial reports had the shake registering at 7.9.. later it was downgraded to 7.6 and the 7.4– but it doesn’t change the impact it has had on the psyche of those who felt the rumbling..Reuters reports that office workers fled into the streets after their buildings shook ‘like trampolines’ …. nerves were rattled along with infrastructure, but no major damage, deaths, or injuries have been reported in the aftermath of the shaking..The stock exchange suspended trading early. Traffic around Mexico City was at a standstill in the immediate aftermath.Reuters also reports that, though the White House initially declined to comment on reports that Malia Obama was vacationing in Mexico, they had to comment after the earthquake blew the lid off the story:The White House, which has declined to confirm reports that President Barack Obama’s daughter Malia was vacationing in Mexico, said the 13-year-old was safe.“In light of today’s earthquake, we can confirm that Malia Obama is safe and was never in danger,” said Kristina Schake, communications director to first lady Michelle Obama. “We would reiterate our request that the media respect the privacy and security of the Obama children and not report on or photograph the girls when they are not with their parents.”All are safe.All are rattled.The earth is a shakin….
