How did charters facilitate colonization in the Americas?
07.February, 2010
In the 1600s European governments issued charters that gave trading companies rights that only governments had, such as maintaining an army and navy, declaring war or maintaining a new area of land. How did this help/support colonization?
A charter established certain rights for the colonizing company that were denied to any competitors. Only the company might control trade with the new colony. In the case of the Netherlands, in accord with charters granted to the Dutch East Indies Company and Dutch West Indies Company, sailing ships of the companies, called by the British "Dutchmen," were heavily armed for combat as well as transport. A chartered company could attract investors in Europe who bought shares of stock without actually going to the colonies. The company could use the money to maintain the colonies and pay back the shareholders by exporting raw materials from the colonies to other parts of the world.

Can you buy the actual film reels that theaters use in their showings?
04.February, 2010
Where can I buy the film reels that are used in the projection of theater movies, after the movie is no longer available for viewing?
I am not sure if they will actually sell these, because they usually make their money out of renting them to cinemas and you could undercut them. However, you could try the nearest office of the company distributing the movie - Fox, Universal etc.
You are aware that you will not actually be able to show the film unless you have a specialised projector?
Where do they ice fisherman go to the bathroom?
04.February, 2010
Where do ice fisherman use the restroom? I am looking this up for my friend. Please give all answers you can find or think for me. If you are an ice fisher please help me or tell me a site to go to.
A five gallon bucket with a heavy plastic bag and a lid that snaps on tight. Somebody already mentioned taking a leak in a bottle.
But it doesn’t take much to figure out that on lakes with multiple shanties on a single spot, there are portable restrooms.
Can you catch stocked trout on a frozen lake if you break the ice?
26.January, 2010
There is a lake that has stocked trout, but the lake is now frozen over about 3.5 inches thick. Can you catch stocked trout on a frozen lake if you break the ice? If you break some ice and fish in that area will the trout bite anything? Or is it best to wait till the ice is melted?
Yeah, drill a hole and get jiggy wit’ it.
He is a linebacker right? I thought linebackers were allowed to tackle.
Last night against the Colts, he was flagged for tackling a Colts player in the endzone, that made the player fumble. I don’t think the refs want Lewis to tackle.
Ray Lewis with a personal foul. Why, I never…. You know Ray Lewis knew that was a penalty when he fled the field and got rid of his uniform.
Interesting to see how Ravens fans blame this loss on the refs. The refs DID call the change of possession when they fumbled.
How much does a king crab fisherman earn?
21.January, 2010
How much does a King Crab fisherman earn, and how long does their journey last? was interested on the job I just want a little more details on it, I was looking at facts but they are too old, has anyone gone to do such thing?
Thanks for your answers!
Oh my God dude, didn’t you ever watch an episode of Deadliest Catch. It’s only on the like every day on the Discovery Channel. They go by seasons - and it’s not just "King Crab", there are others too. A "season" is like 3 weeks, and it all depends on how much they catch obviously. Usually though, the deckhands get like between 3 and 7 thousand dollars each. But, they can’t do this all year, b/c they can only fish in certain seasons

What are some lures to use in saltwater?
19.January, 2010
I live in Canada, Vancouver, and i go fishing at White Rock pier(it’s not exactly pier, it;s like pier) I havent caught anythin ther, i went there only like 2 times. I couldnt figure out the lures to use. So here are the questions.
1.What are some lures to use?
2.What tides are good?(Like 2 hours after the highest tide)
3.Does the tide reports like forecast, because it;s only 7:18PM here and it shows like after 12′o clock
Hey man i live on vancouver island and tidal fish from the docks all the time. Your best bet would not be lures it’s bait. I like to use small peices of herring, uncooked bacon, uncooked shrimp, small crabs and small mussels off the side of the dock. I fish all of these with a jig head like a 1/8 ounce and just drop it down to the bottom and then reel up a foot or so and jig it.
Use very small pulls from 9 o’clock to 10 or 11 o’clock it you use your body as clock and your rod as the hour hand. I would not use lures to much around here as there are not to many species that you can catch besides salmon that don’t live on the bottom of the ocean, and salmon aren’t easy to catch and aren’t very common to catch from shore or the dock.
I dont really discriminate on tides and times, but if you had to choose I`d say to go about half an hour before high tide as small food matter is being swept into shore, but it truly doesn`t matter.
You look to be fishing from a fairly nice pier, but if you are going to be fishing from the high parts of the dock that are way above the dock, i would invest in a heavier rod so that you can lift what ever you catch up onto the dock.
I would recommend fishing from the end of the dock as it looks to be deeper from my recollection ( fished there this summer while on vacation) as the larger fish tend to live in the deeper waters around this part or the world.
The fish you can catch are most likely cod, staghorn sculpin, shiner perch, ling (cod), and perhaps flounder if your lucky. If you catch a sculpin be very careful of it`s head as on each of it`s gill plates there are razer sharp spines that can really do damage if you gab it by the head. I would reccomend you step lightly on it`s head so that oyu can remove the hook, for this i would recommend you bring a pair of needle nose pliers.
Stay away from lures and stick to bait as anything will take bait but not everything will take a lure, and a last bit of advice, use a lighter leader than your mainline as there is nothing worse that getting snagged and losing you swivel and most of you mainline, especially when you 50-100 feet down.
Good luck and tight lines
How do you edit x axis labels and angle them?
Click on your chart, go to the Layout tab. Under Axes, click on the axis you want to exit (vertical or horizonal) and click on more axis options. Under Alignment is the Angle options and other edit options are available as listed.
