I was worried about that a while ago (I live in SoCal), but from what people have been telling me here and on other forums, it seems unlikely that the US West will be effected by any radiation, if at all.

Perspective: if there was anybody I would entrust with a nuclear reactor, it would a Japanese nuclear engineer.
All independent states has one to my knowledge, though Spain's and Bosnia's have no lyrics.
I don't remember it exactly, but it was said in the news that Japanese nuclear reactors had system x, which made this accident possible, and they had been many times adviced to switch to system y by the international nuclear energy commission, but they didn't. This is a bit vague, but I don't remember it better.
Of course it was stressed in the news that we have the system y here, so no accident can ever in any circumstances happen.
And yes, the radiation won't be noticeable in the US. Even Chernobyl was quite limited.

Could someone please tell me the equation of an ellipse when drawing on graph paper? I can't seem to find it anywhere. For one it is not on the origin and it is tilted "diagonal". If someone could help me within the next hour that would be great. By tomorrow could work too though.

Are you drawing it by hand (best to use a piece of string, 2 pins, and a pencil then).

There's no easy Cartesian coordinate equation... for an ellipse with the major axis along the x-axis it is of the form
(x2-x0)/a2 + (y2-y0)/b2 = 1
for an ellipse withfoci centre at (x0, y0)
(or in polar coordinates...
x = a cos theta
y = b cos theta)
That polar form is centred around the origin though.
If you are doing it on a computer you can use either the above equations and then rotate and translate the points using a rotation matrix
R =
[ cos theta sin theta ]
[-sin theta cos theta ]
and then translate using a vector.
The rotation matrix is more complicated in 3D. EDIT: But not a problem if you are drawing it on graph paper.
CONCLUSION: Use 2 pins, string and a pencil method

Chrome suggests "plain" and "pain" among other things if you spellcheck Palin.
They update a list of words that include many names. Common and often used ones mostly.
Why doesn'tget used more around here?
I haven't seen it around for some time. It used to be somewhat popular a couple of years ago.
Does anyone know if there is a name for the paradox opposite to the grandfather paradox. The grandfather paradox states that you can't travel back in time because if you would kill your grandfather you couldn't have been born. But what is it called if you travel forward in time and one of your yet unborn children kills you?

You can't get killed by your unborn child, since you died in the future before you could have him.

You wouldn't have been born though, so probably not.

Isn't there a word for that? I can't remember it though.
