122: The Shifting Hayward Fault or Our Worst Natural Disaster Coming Real Soon
The first few days after the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, Santa Cruz was landlocked. Highway 1 was closed in both directions as were Highways 17 and 9.

124: Charisma in Politics Is Not Only About Good Looks

125: Dwarfed Trees Raised From Seedlings and Cuttings
One of the most fascinating hobbies is the raising of trees from seeds sown directly in a shallow container. If the seedlings are allowed to grow for a few years, they appear like a miniature forest; the same may be done with cuttings.
The following trees and shrubs may be sown directly in shallow containers or boxes, less than four inches
126: Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Australian Visas

128: Naturally Occurring Black Smokers On The Ocean Floor
A naturally-occurring hot springs settles on the bottom of the ocean floor, in a similar way as the Old Faithful spouts off every so often at Yosemite National Park in the U.S. In the same way, these black smokers on the ocean floor release gases that bubble up inside the ocean, far away from anyone's view.
These structures are chimney-like and
129: New Weapons For The US Military
I have read the article about the M-468. I believe it is a superior firearm in terms of ease of integration into the US military inventory. Those of you who read history in terms of US military small arms may remember that General Douglas McArthur wanted a rifle that would shoot the 30.06 since the US had millions of crates of it in storage. That i

The weather is becoming so bad that natu
133: Solar Renewable Energy Sun Power
It is no secret that the sun can be harnessed to provide a source of energy for homes and businesses.
The sun is a powerful star. It supplies us with energy, through a process called nuclear fusion, and sustains life on our planet Earth. Solar energy, or energy from the sun, has existed since prehistoric times when men would magnify the sun's en
134: The Dilemma Faced By Hillary Supporters
Though the Democrats have not yet officially chosen who will run on the top of their ticket in 2008, there is absolutely no doubt Hillary Clinton will get the nod at the Democratic National Convention late next August in Denver, Colorado.
The boring and meaningless primary between John Edwards, Barrack Obama and Mrs. Clinton continues to slog on
