» Where was the Exxon Valdez heading to drop off the oil when it spilled on March 24, 1989?? I can't find it....?
i need it for a report and all credible sources decided not to say where it was heading. he was heading to the bar. LOL I am not sure good questionLos Angeles, CASome online sources say Washington state, but others state was headed for Long Beach, CA, including an "Excerpt from the Alaska Oil Spill Commission Report on the 1989 Exxon Valdez Oil Spill" on the Web page of the government of Alaska's Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council (1). It seems plausible that it may have been going to refineries in both locations: an essay prepared for The Encyclopedia of the Arctic says it was "bound for refineries on the U.S. west coast" (2)....... - 2010-03-21

» When does the new season of Doctor Who come on?
There are going to be a series of 5 specials released over the next year-ish, all with David Tennant as the Doctor. The first is this year's Christmas Special. Then there are 4 more next year, with one being released around Easter and another Christmas Special. This year's special has already been filmed. The title is The Next Doctor, and it features the Cybermen. There has been 1 or 2 brief promos, and it looks like it's going to be in the 40s. David Morrissey is the title character, and man the Doctor meets who also claims to be the Doctor. One of the rumored castings is Albert Finney as Winston Churchill. Not much is known about the other 4 specials. Some of the directors have been announced. This schedule is p...... - 2010-03-21
» I am looking to homeschool?
I want to be homeschooled because i basically hate public schooling for several reasons. I also am not into the whole private snob scene and homeschooling seems just right. Heres the catch; neither my mom nor dad can quit their jobs. So i need something that can be taught over the internet, is relatively cheap and is simple to use. Im going to talk to my counselor tomorrow, but i figured i would throw it out there before i do.Your counselor is going to give you biased information. Be aware that her job depends on keeping kids in school. Just so you know where they're coming from! The good news is that you're old enough to do school on your own.

» Help! Copying and pasting in Word 2000
Hello An easy one I hope?! If I copy some text from a source document (Word 2000) that has say Arial font size 10 and paste it into a new Word 2000 document that has Times New Roman size 12 as default, it inherits the new documents font and size ie Times New Roman size 12. Surely it should keep the same font and size from the source document? :confused: I tried it on one pc and it worked fine...........but not on another! Checked Tools>options but didnt see anything obvious! Anyone? Pileyrei:confused:I think that part of it has to do with the paragraph marker which holds paragraph data, including font metrics.

» Christians: Why is evil accelerating, and will it be able to overpower/hurt us? What can we do for safety?
Any ideas?Look at the big picture. God created the earth and put a perfect man and woman on it with a job to do. One of the spirit creatures (who became known as Satan) was envious so questioned God's right to their worship. His sovereignty. If God just destroyed him, there were myriads of angels watching who would wonder "was Satan right?" Instead, in his wisdom, Jehovah, the God of justice, has allowed Satan the time to prove what kind of ruler he would be. Obviously a dismal failure. He has tried every sort of government throughout the world (remember in offering Christ the kingdoms of the world JC didn't contradict his claim to control them did he?) 2 Cor 4:4 even calls him "the god of this system of things" who ...... - 2010-03-21

» When linking a credit card for a family member with your account, does your family member build credit?
I'm thinking about linking a credit card for my little brother. Hes 17 and wanted to see if he would able start his credit by me linking a credit card for him? Basically trying to build up credit at a young age.If you make your brother an authorized user on your account it will affect his credit rating. And it goes both ways. If you place him as an AU on a card in good standing, then it can generate a good credit score for him. But if the credit is bad, your brother's credit will be affected in a negative light. A nice thing to do and little downside if you have good credit and don't give him a card to actually use (thereby saving you piece of mind...)This is called Piggybacking. It is a great idea.

» QPR v. AFC Bournemouth (D2 -- Matchday 3) [R]
The R's try to rebound from Monday's loss as they face promoted AFC Bournemouth at Loftus Road. The good news for Rangers is that Ainsworth should return and Carlisle will likely be in action too. Bournemouth has just one point from their opening two matches, a 1-2 loss at Port Vale and a 2-2 draw at home against Barnsley. They also lost 0-1 after extra time away to Watford in the Carling Cup. Paul Danson is the referee. His only game thus far this year was a PNE home loss to West Ham in which he handed out three yellows. He didn't work a single QPR match last year, and was in the middle only once for our opponents, working a 0-0 Bournemouth draw at Orient. The year before, he worked QPR's 4-1 home thrashing of Port Vale, as ...... - 2010-03-21

Example: A member is allowed to add 2 lines of text (250 characters) AND 1 image (max 468x60), OR, 5 lines of text (500 characters). 2. Will vB have a automated warnings-control? Like, admin/mods can give warnings to members, and when a single member have X number of warnings, they will be banned for X number of time. This is a VERY important feature! 3.

In animals, steroid hormones bind to receptors in the cytoplasm causing them to translocate into the nucleus where they influence gene expression.Because they are made up of lipids, just like the cell membrane itself, Steroid hormones can get through the cell membrane directly. therefor, they have their specific RECEPTORS located inside the cell's cytoplasm. they bind to their specific receptors and affect a series of biochemical reactions inside the cell, thus stimulating a response. happy to help These hormones pass through the target cell and into the nucleus where they bind to a receptor protein.

when you have got a headache I remember going round and kicking on an old neighbours door. They answered it saying, "Do you mind not kicking my door?". I said, "It'll be your head, if you don't turn that s---e down".Phone for the ambulance and make them think you're at deaths door. Work on their feelings of guilt as hard as you can. In fact, if you're like me, I'd give them hell whether I had a headache or not.Aim a brick through the window at the stereo or whatever is making the noise and chuck it as hard as you can then run back into your house and egg them from your window.Eurgh mine have been drilling since about 8.30 and not stopped wouldn't mind but HOW CAN THEY STILL have walls to drill they been re-mode...... - 2010-03-21

» More PSE help
I'm having a blast playing with PSE but I have a question that I haven't found the answer to yet... When I cut out a selection from one image and paste it into another image...how do I feather/smooth/soften the edges so that the pasted image better blends into the new background?Have you tried the blur tool? Set at about 30-40% opacity, run it around the edges once. A better way, imo, is to place the images on separate layers. Add a layer mask to the one on top (which should be just the section you want to add to the other photo) and then paint out the parts you don't want to show in the final picture. You can play with the opacity of the brush around the edges to make the pics blend....... - 2010-03-21

» Bird Flu Scientists Say Mallards May Carry Virus Long Distances, Research Paper
Bird Flu Scientists Say Mallards May Carry Virus Long Distances By Jason Gale March 24 (Bloomberg) -- Scientists in the Netherlands tracking the spread of bird flu in wild ducks say mallards may be the best long-distance carrier of the deadly H5N1 virus. Researchers at the Erasmus Medical Center (http://www.erasmusmc.nl/content/englishindex.htm) in Rotterdam experimentally infected six wild-duck species with H5N1 to determine which were capable of excreting the virus without succumbing to the disease. Pochards and tufted ducks shed the most virus, though tend to become ill or die earlier, they said. ``Of the six wild duck species studied, the mallard is the prime candidate for being a long distance vector,'' the researchers wrote in a s...... - 2010-03-21

The R's try to rebound from Monday's loss as they face promoted AFC Bournemouth at Loftus Road. The good news for Rangers is that Ainsworth should return and Carlisle will likely be in action too. Bournemouth has just one point from their opening two matches, a 1-2 loss at Port Vale and a 2-2 draw at home against Barnsley. They also lost 0-1 after extra time away to Watford in the Carling Cup. Paul Danson is the referee. His only game thus far this year was a PNE home loss to West Ham in which he handed out three yellows.

I am about to buy a new home and was wondering about which bank to go to for home mortgages. Credit is okay but not perfect. Any recommendations for a trustworthy, reputable but fair mortgage lender?i would totally recommend wells fargo bank. i work there and if you do some research you will learn that we were voted one of the safest banks in the world. Look into it. PLUS you get all of the perks with the bank.Shop the banks and get an idea of interest rates and other fees.

» I need to start getting credit. Should I get a credit card? If so what kind of credit card should I get?
I have been considering getting a Best Buy credit card, because it comes with a discount. However I think that there has to be more to take into consideration than that. ALSO: How does credit work? How do you get good credit fast? I've heard that I should buy things and pay them off before the interest accumulate, and that makes sense. I have also heard that if I don't let any interest accumulate before I pay off the debt, then I can't improve my credit score. That seems @ss backwards, but it also sounds exactly like a credit card company. So basically, how do you raise your credit score.When I was your age the first line of credit I got was from a jewelers in the mall.

What kind of guitar pick-ups does 40 Below Summer use? I haven't heard of them. A quick Google search got me nothing, at least with "pickups 40 Below Zero". If they're emo or punk or rock, more or less any hot humbucker will get you within spitting distance, ie, Seymour Duncan Distortions or Customs, DiMarzio Evolutions or possibly Breed or D-Sonics. The amp and speaker selection will be more important than the pickups, anyways, that is what you should be focusing on, tone-wise.

I virus influenzali aviari isolati in nordamerica e Europa sembrano aver acquisito una maggiore affinità per le cellule dell'epitelio respiratorio umano, secondo quanto riporta un recente studio condotto da un gruppo di ricercatori fra cui Terrence Tumpey. E' quanto riporta il pezzo apparso sul sito di Times Online, riprodotto in parte sotto. Questi virus hanno causato pochi casi umani accertati mediante test di laboratorio, fra cui i più noti sono sicuramente quelli causati dall'estesa epizoosi in Olanda nel 2003 (virus A/H7N7), dove un veterinario morì di polmonite virale e forse centinaia di persone contrassero la malattia in forma molto leggera o addirittura asintomatica ma segnalando chiaramente una trasmissione del virus interumana....... - 2010-03-21

Set at about 30-40% opacity, run it around the edges once. A better way, imo, is to place the images on separate layers. Add a layer mask to the one on top (which should be just the section you want to add to the other photo) and then paint out the parts you don't want to show in the final picture.

» Bird Flu Scientists Say Mallards May Carry Virus Long Distances, Research Paper
Bird Flu Scientists Say Mallards May Carry Virus Long Distances By Jason Gale March 24 (Bloomberg) -- Scientists in the Netherlands tracking the spread of bird flu in wild ducks say mallards may be the best long-distance carrier of the deadly H5N1 virus. Researchers at the Erasmus Medical Center (http://www.erasmusmc.nl/content/englishindex.htm) in Rotterdam experimentally infected six wild-duck species with H5N1 to determine which were capable of excreting the virus without succumbing to the disease. Pochards and tufted ducks shed the most virus, though tend to become ill or die earlier, they said. ``Of the six wild duck species studied, the mallard is the prime candidate for being a long distance vector,'' the researchers wrote in a s...... - 2010-03-21
