On April 20,2010 an explosion occured on the semi-submersible offshore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico.On April 24, it was found that the wellhead was damaged and was leaking oil into the Gulf. The pollution from the Deepwater Horizon, oil spill is very rapidly spreading from the Gulf of Mexico to the neighbouring shorelines of the southeastern United States.

 Around 2-4 days after the explosion, the rig sank to the ocean floor, and a pipe connected to the well on the sea floor broke. Oil began leaking from the Pipe.

It is estimated that around 6 million gallon of oil have leaked into the Gulf of Mexico within a month from the explosion in the Deepwater Horizon. This spreading of oil is a very serious treat to the Wildlife, affecting as many as 400 speacies along the coastal areas of Lousiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.

It is said by the scientists that, the oil has reached currents that could carry the pollution to Florida and also to the east coast. Beside this due to the underwater oil plumes, There may be and amount of oil beneath the oceans surface, of the same amound we can see the the top layer of the Gulf.

Here are some pictures form Google and NASA of the spill on periodically taken.
The lower two images were captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite. The fist shows a wider shot of the oil slick spreading on the Louisiana coast, while the other one shows a very closer look.

Windows Vista is a good OS launched by Microsoft after a long time from Windows XP. More the part changed is about the grapics part, the visual effect and the overall look of the OS is changed. I like all the other features with it's looks, n i used windows vista for around 2 months but lateron i returned to our favourite OS windows  XP, I dont know whats there but i like xp then any other os launched yet. It's speed n neat n clean look it makes it good.

But one of the feature that XP lakes than Vista is it's start menu. The start menu of windows vista is more attrective and really useful, easy to find programs and the search bar at the bottom makes it useful. And now you can make change windows xp menu to the windows vista menu. The complete replacement of the vista menu with xp menu is possible with "ViStart".

 ViStart will show all the personal files, program shortcuts and program files with instant result. The good thing about the ViStart is that it loads 4 times faster then the original vista menu. 4 times faster is really a big deal n good for us xp users.
