  1. Rap and Hip-Hop for me, so that would be mostly 97.9 and 104.9. I also like Magic 102.1.
  2. Yeah, you don't hear of Afghanistan anymore, and we have thousands of troops their forgotten.
  3. Moderate Quake Strikes Central Calif. PARKFIELD, Calif. (AP) - A moderate earthquake struck Central California on Tuesday that was felt from San Francisco to the Los Angeles area. There was no immediate report of injuries. The quake, which struck at 10:15 a.m. PDT, had a preliminary magnitude of 5.9 and was centered 7 miles southeast of Parkfield, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The area is 21 miles northeast of Paso Robles, scene of an earthquake that killed two people in December. A series of aftershocks quickly rattled the area, one with a preliminary 5.0 magnitude four minutes after the main earthquake and three others 4.1 or above. Paso Robles police said there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. ``It rattled everything hanging on the walls and the chandelier was swinging,'' said Ben Brown, who lives in Paso Robles. ``It didn't do any damage to our house. There were two shakers, one right after the other.'' The quake was felt along a 350-mile stretch, as far north as San Francisco and as far south as Santa Ana, southeast of Los Angeles, the geological survey said. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department reported receiving several calls. Parkfield, population 37, is known as the earthquake capital of California. Located on the San Andreas fault, it has experienced six similar, magnitude 6.0 earthquakes with apparent regularity - one approximately every 22 years. The USGS even named its major long-term earthquake research project the Parkfield Experiment. ``This is earthquake country. It's a larger earthquake than what usually occurs, but it's not unprecedented,'' said USGS spokeswoman Stephanie Hanna. ``We expect big earthquakes in this area, but don't know when they'll occur.'' The Dec. 22, 2003, earthquake collapsed old downtown buildings in Paso Robles, pitching an 1892 clock tower building onto the street and crushing a row of parked cars. Two people were killed in the state's first fatal quake since the 6.7-magnitude temblor that hit the Northridge area of Los Angeles in 1994. Since December, many residents of the area have taken precautions to protect their property and valuables from the next inevitable temblor. ``I respect them, let's put it that way,'' Mary Vaderwert, 57, said by telephone Tuesday from her Paso Robles home. She experienced Tuesday's quake as a series of ripples and vibrations. ``It just tickled your feet and then all of a sudden it's jerking and then the whips started.'' A magnitude 5 quake can cause considerable damage and a magnitude 6 quake severe damage, though problems are generally far less severe in remote areas and areas with strong building codes. 09/28/04 14:28 Link
  4. Morton Ranch is the second largest high school in size in the U.S. They have three gyms plus a competition gym. Their audotorium is HUGE!!! You should visit it.
  5. Your right, Bush is going to be re-electing without a doubt. The Demacrats could cry all they want about how "bad" Bush is, some of it is true, but most is not.
  6. The 2000 census is what I am looking at. It said something like -2.8%. I will look for a link. BTW, welcome to HAIF Kngn.
  7. Never heard of that book. Does it talk about any particular cities, maybe Houston?
  8. I would never extend the Westpark Tollway west of the Grand Parkway. That is going out to FULSHEAR!!!
  9. People have already bought units. I looked it up at the website of Shamrock Tower.
  10. They need to just make the Beltway in that area a freeway. They need to hurry with the construction up there because so many master-planned communities are up there. Summerwood for one.
  11. I didn't know Chicago was that big in metro, but is dropping in city limit populations.
  12. Wow! Katy is getting a new Texas Childrens Hospital on the Katy Freeway@Barker Cypress. Isn't there a big retaled mall going to be built near Cinemark Theaters?
  13. Chicago is also declining in population over the years, while Houston is growing.
  14. I can't see any new posts unless I post something. What is wrong?
