This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
see this page
$$ y=y_0 + x tan\theta -\frac{gx^2}{2(vcos\theta)^2}$$
assuming $y_0$ to be 0 the equation becomes,
$$ y=x tan\theta -\frac{gx^2}{2(vcos\theta)^2}$$
Now, the only variable what you need are $v$ and $\theta$, among which you have $\theta$.
So, you need to convert your "distance dragged" to $v$.
Energy stored in the sling just before shooting will be $$U=kx^2$$ where $k$ is Hooke's constant and x is your "distance dragged".
so, $$K.E. = U = kx^2$$ $$\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = kx^2$$ $$v=\sqrt{\frac{2kx^2}{m}}$$
Hope this might help.
I had a similar school science project a long time ago. Fortunately, this project has left me notes. Let me share an interesting case where there is a closed form solution:
This is the projectile motion on a flat trajectory when the resistance of the medium(air) is proportional to the square of the velocity. The flat trajectory means that a projectile is launched at angles $\theta_0<15^{\circ}$. The derivation process is unfortunately too long. So I'll get away with just the final result, the equation of the trajectory.
Air resistance: $F=kv^2$
The approximate equation of the trajectory of a projectile:
where $\mu=\frac{kx}{\cos\theta_0}$
To compare the trajectory in air with a trajectory in a vacuum, expand $e^{2\mu}$ into Taylor series and after obvious cancellations we get:
Here the collection of the first two terms, independent of the drag coefficient $k$, coincides with the equation of the trajectory of the projectile in a vacuum, the third term gives the correction due to the impact of the resistance: That means, the actual trajectory is below the parabola.

STEUBENVILLE - Jefferson County Connections is hosting a unique job fair expo from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 7 at the Fort Steuben Mall.
The event will focuses solely on current and near-term employment opportunities in the oil and gas industries throughout the Tri-State Area.
This is not designed to be your average job fair, according to the man planning the event, Mike McGlumphy of Jefferson County Connections.
It will focus solely on the needs of two key elements: businesses from within the region's oil and gas community with current job openings to fill, and those with known hiring needs anticipated for as early as the first part of next year.
"This is the first time we have put together a job fair or expo event focused on a single industry," explained McClumphy.
Attendance at this event is open to the general public, and those who plan to attend the expo as jobseekers do not need to register.
However, employer's wanting to have a presence at the job fair are asked to contact McGlumphy at the Steubenville office at (740) 282-0971 in order to have all set-up space and needs addressed.
The idea of putting all the elements necessary to make a job fair event successful in one room at one time is to help expedite and refine the process of helping local jobseekers not only find access to immediate or known quality job opportunities but to provide help they might need to turn job possibilities into very real job placements.
"I wanted to bring together in one event everything that could be needed to make these opportunities work for everyone," said McGlumphy.
"If a person is a good candidate to fill an opening in the gas and oil industry but might need some specific additional training or certifications, we will have schools of different types there to provide that access, we will have funding sources there, and the company representatives with very real job openings needing filled with qualified people."
Businesses wanting to participate in the event are asked to contact McGlumphy .
All schools, financial entities and potential employers taking part in the event will be listed on the job fair webpage at www.jeffersoncountyconnections.com

Since we're so excited about our collaboration with The Stone Roses: The Third Coming Exhibition, we've gone and added an exclusive listening party to the event calendar. Get ready to start rocking when "The Music, The Myths and The Mayhem" hits Whiteleys in London on Tuesday 26 June, kicking things off with an interview with renowned rock photographer Kevin Cummins.
Having photographed everyone from Mick Jagger and David Bowie to the Sex Pistols and–of course–The Stone Roses, Kevin Cummins' back catalogue is one that can't be rivaled. So what would you say if he was coming to the event to chat about what it was really like to live the rock star lifestyle and tell the tales of their wild antics? No need to say anything, just be ready to hear all the wild secrets about what the band got up to on tour, who partied the hardest and which of the mega rock stars had the craziest riders.
And the fun doesn't stop there. We've also managed to get Richard Robinson, award winning album cover designer, to answer questions about how Madchester has influenced him. He's even designed some bespoke Sonos PLAY:3 speakers especially for the occasion so we can play the sounds, music and anthems of the Madchester movement out loud, all evening long.
This event is a must for anyone who wishes they'd been part of the Madchester scene.
So… how do you get an invite to this awesome event? Start by emailing your name and contact details to our Madchester event team.

The debate over seeding is complete and the brackets are set.
It's almost time to get down to wrestling at the 60th-annual Ron Mauck OVAC Wrestling Tournament, which opens Thursday evening at WesBanco Arena.
The coaches and tournament officials were in downtown Wheeling Monday evening to meet with the media and finalize the tournament procedures.
As has been the case the last handful of seasons, Steubenville and Parkersburg South are the pre-tournament favorites based on seeding. Big Red and the Patriots have 11 wrestlers seeded in the tournament.
However, Big Red and Shadyside lead the tournament field with number one seeds.
Each team has three wrestlers on the top line of the bracket.
"You always have to be happy and feel good about things when you get as many guys seeded as we did," said Big Red head coach Mike Blackburn. "I feel like our guys who earned top seeds were definitely deserving and everyone else has to produce. It's going to be a battle. Hopefully, it comes down to us and South in the finals.
Wheeling Park is the only other school with multiple top seeds. Coach Jack Doyle's team has two wrestlers with a No. 1 by their name.
Ironically, Shadyside, which figures to be one of the favorites in the Class 1A/2A field, has only its three top seeds as wrestlers who earned a seed.
The Tigers' top seeds are defending champion Alex Quinn (152), defending runnerup Ian Baker (145) and Chase Kinemond, who was runnerup as a sophomore, but didn't compete last winter due to injury, at 160.
"I think those kids are deserving of the seed they received, but it's just a number," said Shadyside head coach Scott Kinemond.
"They still have to come out, wrestle and prove they were worthy of earning that spot."
Quinn is one of four wrestlers in the tournament who've yet to taste defeat.
Steubenville's top seeds for the weekend are freshman Tariq Wilson at 106; Anthony Craig at 126 and Greg Moray at 220.
The remaining top seeds are: South's Lance Hill (113); Meadowbrook's Jerad Patterson (120); University's Scott Lopez (132); Wheeling Park's Dylan Taylor (138) and Cody Amos (182); Caldwell's Kayle Rayner (170); Brooke's Nathan Daweson (195) and Morgantown's Taylor Ortiz (285).
"I think the fact that South only has one number one seed might be a little deceiving," Blackburn said. "I wouldn't be surprised to see them have a few more kids in the finals.
All told, 34 schools in the tournament had a wrestler garner a seed.
After the aforementioned Steubenville and Parkersburg South, University had eight wrestlers seeded, while Wheeling Park and Brooke each had seven wrestlers seeded.
St. Clairsville and Beaver Local both had six wrestlers earn a seed.

Unanswered: TextButton with Blue theme icon
Hello, I am new to GXT and wondering how to create a TextButton with Icon (Open folder image)?
I know if i wants to use my custom icon then i would have to use ClientBudle and Image resource but if i want to use EXISTING Icon from blue them then i am assuming there will be already a ImageResource interface that i can use. Is that right?
I am assuming that code may be something like below:
TextButton b = new TextButton();
b.setIcon(Blue theam Image resource class with method to specific icon);
Kindly point me in right direction.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

The NN4 has a detent resolution of 15 degrees on the horizontal arm.
Is there an option or method to make this finer - say 5 degrees?
The NN4 has a detent resolution of 15 degrees on the horizontal arm.
Is there an option or method to make this finer - say 5 degrees?
Hi Calvin,
Normally I have to say No, cause the system is designed to click into theses intervals.
I tried to set it to 5°. When you move slowly preventing the rotator to click into the next step, you can fix it to 5°. The knob is fixing earlier, the rotator does not close in the same way as on the 15° steps. It holds the upper rotator in a similar way the NN5 did. I have to check wether this is changing LRS, plus how long this will stand. But this is at your own risk.
The extra 5/7.5/10° upper rail settings only change the "start" position by opening up the screw of the upper rail and replacing the two knobs of the upper rotator to the 5/7.5/10° intern rotator position ( see extra pics on e-store ). After changing the rail position — 10° — you have to adapt the "degree ring" to 10° to 0° mark with the small hex screw. But then, stops change with 15° intervals: 10, 25, 40 etc. This means: you only change the start position and then go on by 15° intervals.
Hi Calvin,
Heinz is right. if you want to shoot at other interval, you need NN5 series.
We listen. We try harder.
Thanks guys - you told me what I was expecting to hear but not what I wanted to hear.
Are the upper arms of the NN4 and NN5 interchangeable and does Fanotec/NN sell just the upper parts I'd need to get the detent features of the NN5 on my NN4, or does this even make sense?
It seems odd to me that higher resolution detent rings are offered for the lower rotor and we're stuck at 15 degrees on the upper.
the upper rotator has 15 deg, because of 3/2 aspect ratio in SLRs, the lower rotator will need 10 deg interval. But then you can use more overlap with smaller interval. when you are making stereo (3D) panoramas with NPP offset from rotation axis, you need much finer interval to reduce stitching errors.
reference: http://www.nodalninja.com/forum/show...heye-lens-quot
To get smaller interval with positive lock, you need the Ultimate M1 which has 7.5 deg. The M2 under development can support finer interval for lens >400mm in fl.

Hi guys.... well.. I have a little problem... I have been trying so hard to stitch my bracketed fused pano images using Photomatix when I hit a snag... In PTGui they stitch mostly very well but in apg they don't... It appears that one of the Moderators suggested that my shooting pattern is not suitable for the equipment I have.... I am using a D90 with a 10.5 fisheye lens.. He suggests I put my pitch down to 12 degrees X 6 round and one Zenith... Sounds fine but I cannot do 12 down since the NN4 will not let me... So I have to do 15 down + one zenith but then on a DX camera, since its not full frame, it leaves gaps in the image... So I have to do 6 X 15 down and 6 X +15 without a zenith.. Again in PTGui it stitches fine but in apg it will not... Probably due to too much overlap, not sure... apg does not like too much overlap... Any suggestions....
Last edited by Destiny; 07-04-2011 at 04:38 PM.
You can also try 6 X 10 down and a zenith. Remove the upper rail from the rotator. Install it again with the anti-twist part to sockets labeled 5 deg which will give you +5 deg or -10 deg. loosen the rotator index ring and set it to 5 deg when the upper rail starts to point up at the horizon.
We listen. We try harder.
Hi Nick... Yes.. I am sure... I tried it a few times... I get black gaps in the pano in PTGui and it doesn't like it in apg either... I think a full frame camera would work fine... perhaps if the NNP was perfect it might work, so I will try it again after its all perfect...
Andrew on the kolor forum is suggesting I try -15X6 with +60X3... I tried it and its much better but not much time to try again today.... I can now see my NNP and I its out a bit but not sure which way to move the rail.. Its a backward saw tooth as my husband calls it... so I think I have to move it towards centre.... It looks like this set up might work.... I can only hope.... Its all good in PTGui mostly but not apg.. apg doesn't like too much overlap so its a matter of fining the right setup and then I think it will be fine... If it doesn't then I will do as you suggest with the rail... Hate to take it off since I worry I brake it... Its never been off... Bill put it all together for me so I left it all as he put it.... Once I get it all perfect I can then try fused images again from Photomatix.. but it has to be perfect for this to work...
this is done with -15x6 +1. You can also try -15x6+2 (2 zenith at 90 deg apart).
you may want to have good lens parameter at 0x6 first. then use the same parameter for -15x6.
We listen. We try harder.
Hi, all!
I´ve just got my NN4 with D16 rotator and about to setting it up. As I have a Nikon D90 with a 10.5 lens I always shoot -10/-15 degrees set at the upper arm. As this can already be fixed (-10) with this unit I´m trying to do so.
Did I understand right that it has to be set at the 5º hole to get a -10º setting at the upper arm? NOT at the 10º position.
Thanks and regards, Martin
Hi Martin,
you have to set it to 10°. When you set it to the 0° holes, you have 0° tilt. 5° gives a 5° Pre set etc. After having changed the upper arms position on the rotator, you should as well change the position of the detent ring. Use the very small imbus to loosen the very tiny screw in the ring. Turn it to +10° position and re fix. Now you get the right readings on the ring. The interval will be 15° steps to be added to your preset. So this will be 10°, 25°, 40° etc.
LRS = 55 without Nadir Adapter, URS 10.5 = 83 check with your own equipment.

Thanks Heinz!
Thats what I thought and understood so far, but Nick mentioned something in one of his posts that confused me:
"Install it again with the anti-twist part to sockets labeled 5 deg which will give you +5 deg or -10 deg"
So I wanted to clarify that issue. I want to point the camera 10 degree down. (-10)
Regards, Martin
Martin, I think he ment installing to +5º on the rotator, so the holes with 5º on it the basic set up is +5º in "Zero position instead of 0º on the upper arm. Now moving the upper arm downwards with 15º detend interval of the rotator you will reach -10º.
Mounting it to 10º holes, you will end up with -15º. You can do both of it, it depends on what you like, either shooting with -10º, or with -15º.
Ok ?
Cheers and enjoy,
Last edited by hindenhaag; 10-26-2011 at 08:12 AM.
Yes, Heinz!
Right, that´s what he ment for sure.
Thanks for the advice.
-15º is wrong, mounting it to +10º going down by detend rotator intervals will end up with -5º.
But I think you got the basics behind this question. Sorry for the fault. Just want to set it right.

Some pause for relief. Missing Senior Day playing a real bummer. Being able to play again in a WI uniform looking very likely. Bullet perhaps dodged.
Well, THAT sounds like a relief, after all the fear of the torn ligament. I hope he can play for Senior Day, naturally, but I was really afraid he was going to be out for the whole rest of the season. The team maybe dodged a bullet here!Hide replies
You sound a lot like me PackFan.
You know what they say about great minds....
(PS I typed my post before yours showed up, too!)
Good news indeed. Ryan Evans adds intangibles that don't always show up in the box score. I'm all for Dekker getting more minutes, but Evans fits nicely in the rotation, especially late in games when BO Ryan may want to go offense/defense shifts. Hurry back Ryan.
Good news, but I'm still cautious. Was there an MRI? Is one coming up? Hope he can make it back; he deserves the opportunity.Hide replies
Had to have been an MRI by now. I hear you in terms of guarded optimism, given nature of knee sprains. However, sure beats a tear by a county mile. I see him sitting Sunday to max. his recovery odds.
"tear" = "3rd degree sprain" was intended context. I doubt very much if his injury has not been medically characterized by now. It's UW and 24 hours old for a starting athlete.
In this day and age of patient confidentiality, as little information as possible is given out. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I am waiting for final word.
That's fair eddie. Hopefully the 'questionable' status is with eyes wide open and on target. They could be wrong. I doubt they're messing with us/Purdue publicly. NCAA wound not take kindly to that.
As someone familiar with the medical terminology, this sort of description always drives me bonkers. A "sprain" does mean a form of a tear, and the word itself gives no sense of the severity.
A "1st degree sprain" is what we commonly think of as a sprain, it's tiny tears in portions of a ligament, what you think of when you roll your ankle and you're sore for a few days.
A "2nd degree sprain" means a partial tear of the ligament. It usually heals on its own or through therapy, sometimes needs surgery.
A "3rd degree sprain" is a complete tear.
When we hear about an athlete blowing out their ACL and needing the full surgery and year recovery; technically that's a "sprain", albeit a 3rd degree sprain.
So until they actually do an MRI to pinpoint the degree of the sprain, I never completely breathe a sigh of relief.Hide replies
Don't they usually wait for any swelling to go down before doing MRI?
This. I don't think this tells us much. UW is very guided about students' medical issues (and rightfully so). But I seem to recall injuries to Butch and Tucker in the past that were far worse than we initially felt based on cryptic UW updates. I suspect we won't know more until game day. Let's hope for the best. But even a lesser injury with a few weeks rehab could put him out for the season at this late stage, y'know?
At least they did say it was a "sprain," so that's something. McCarthy would have said that Evans has a "knee". An NHL team would say Evans has a "lower body injury". Bellicheck would have denied the existence of Evans all together.
plus one, Gary.
I feel like if it was a straight up tear they would say so, like with Gasser. Could it be worse than a normal knee sprain? Sure. But I do think if it was truly for sure 100% torn they would simply say straight up he is done. The fact he is even questionable for Purdue makes me optimistic.
Now, comes the question of when he can play and if and when he should. I'd like to beat Sparty, but the NCAA Tourney is definitely more important, and I'm sure Ryan agrees.
141: The potential problem of losing to MSU is falling into the 5th seed for the B1G tourney, which takes away the first round bye that the top four receive, causing you to win three games in a short span rather than two.
Waubesa- Hopefully Evans can be back for MSU. However, beating just Purdue and Penn State leaves Bucky at 13-5, which should be good enough for at least 4th place given Michigan's loss to Penn State.
I feel like if it was a straight up tear they would say so, like with Gasser. Could it be worse than a normal knee sprain? Sure. But I do think if it was truly for sure 100% torn they would simply say straight up he is done. The fact he is even questionable for Purdue makes me optimistic.
Now, comes the question of when he can play and if and when he should. I'd like to beat Sparty, but the NCAA Tourney is definitely more important, and I'm sure Ryan agrees.
Hopefully, he can be back close to full strength for NCAA's. Bummer to miss your final home game but perhaps, at minimum, they could start him and then let him come out.Hide replies
There's no point in a token start. Let him rest and hopefully be at full strength for the remaining games and the tournament. He'll be in uniform so he will be introduced along with the other seniors. It's not a big deal.
With Evans limited, the question becomes: Who will back up Dekker with Evans unavailable or limited in that role? Bohannon? Kammo? Anderson or Duje (I haven't noticed Duje late during the blowouts. Is he still with the team?)? A committee of the aforementioned?
Dukan redshirted this year. With Evans, Bruesewitz and Berggren all in their senior seasons, Dukan probably will get a chance to contribute on the front line next season.
who cares well replace him with a male cheerleader to beat freakin sorry purdue!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to see he is hurt, he tries hard with limited talent....Dekker better option acknowledging Evns plays better defense....Hide replies
Not always, which is the point throughout this thread.

Excluding Thermodynamic's arrow of time, all mathematical descriptions of time are symmetric. We know the arrow of time is real and we know the equations describing physics are real so is there any insights into what breaks the symmetry between real time and the mathematical description?
You seem keen to exclude the thermodynamic arrow of time, but as far as I know that is the only source of time asymmetry.
As Ross mentioned in his answer, the collapse of the wavefunction has been presented as a time asymmetric process. However I would guess most people now view even this as fundamentally time symmetric. If you believe in decoherence the wavefunction collapse is just another example of the thermodynamic arrow of time.
There remains the (basically philosophical) problem of why humans experience time to flow in a single direction, but this too may simply be because the thought process inevitably follows the thermodynamic arrow of time.
Actually, it's not true that our laws of physics are symmetric under time reversal. The Standard Model of particle physics isn't.
In fact, it's been strongly suspected since the 1960s that the laws of physics can't be invariant under the operation of time reversal. There is a very reliable theoretical result called the CPT theorem which says that any reasonable quantum field theory must be invariant under the combination of charge reversal (C), parity reversal (P), and time reversal (T). We have known since the 60s that the laws of physics are not invariant under CP reversal (reverse charge and parity); these violations have been experimentally observed, in the physics of Kaons and B-particles. So the CPT theorem implies that any correct physical model must predict the violation of T-symmetry. This symmetry has to be violated in a way that exactly compensates for the violation of the CP symmetry.
Direct violation of T-symmetry has recently been observed by the BaBar experiment.
There are books on this subject. All the answers I have seen focus on one of two things: the thermodynamic arrow or the quantum collapse. I have not seen any good answer for translating quantum collapse into the large scale world. The thermodynamic argument is quite subtle if you dig into it. From any point in time that entropy is not a maximum, entropy (with huge probability) should increase in both directions.

As we continue our 'Texomans in Transition" series, we are excited to tell you more about the Texoma Council of Governments. TCOG is a voluntary organization with a basic goal - improving the quality of life across Cooke, Fannin, & Grayson counties. Each day, they work hard by delivering services to citizens, and professional & technical planning services to our local governments.
Energy Services Program Manager, Brenda Smith, explains how important receiving part of the Emergency Solutions Grant has been to help them better serve citizens in transition and need.
"We became involved in the collaboration because there was a demonstrated need to help folks who were on the verge of being evicted. And we had worked with the other agencies through the Homelessness Prevention Program, so when we were given the opportunity to apply as a part of the collaboration again - to be able to help people from being evicted - we were happy to do that."
Those who are eligible have to be under eviction notice, have to have an income and meet income guidelines, and they have to show and document that they will be able to maintain that rent after the aid is given. Executive director, Dr. Susan Thomas says that, so far, they have helped 35 families since last October.
"What the broader audience would want to understand and need to understand is that when you know people in your church, your family, or in your neighborhood that may be on the verge of being evicted - that there are resources out there and they can call TCOG and we can respond to that."
And for residents who aren't homeless, but they're having a hard time paying their basic utility bills like water, electricity - TCOG has an Energy Assistance Program in which they help qualified, low income families pay those bills. And they also teach them how to conserve energy.
And, our main question for the organizations in this series - what is the biggest misconception about homelessness?
Dr. Thomas: "That is doesn't exist here in Grayson County. Most of us spend our lives focused on our worlds and our families and just don't have the reality and understanding of what's happening in some people's lives."
For more information on the income qualifications for the programs, please contact TCOG by visiting their website at www.texoma.cog.tx.us

I remember working in a test department, where a particular
technician, known as Mike, seemed to destroy a significant
percentage of the equipment he worked on. Since he reported to
me, I tried extra training, warnings, review of his workload,
and finally a written reprimand. In hindsight, I should have
done more root-cause analysis over Mikes problem. Like
most managers, I had my own work to complete. The equipment
failure rate was just much higher when Mike was on staff. One
day, he wired up a set of equipment that we needed for a
time-critical test. During this task, I smelled smoke. No
special root-cause analysis was needed. The last DC power
supply available in the shop was smoking. Unfortunately for the
instrumentation group and Mike, he got the power supply inputs
and outputs reversed.

8 Absurd Jokes That Predicted Real Life Events
#4. MADtv Predicts Jason X
Say what you want about MADtv, but the sketch comedy show (with no real connection to the old MAD Magazine except for the name) ran for an astonishing 14 seasons, from 1995 until 2009.
A few of those seasons were even good.
In their very first season, and just their third episode ever, they did a fake film trailer for Apollo the 13th: Jason Takes NASA.
The premise seems to be based entirely off the fact that the movie Apollo 13 had the number 13 in the title, so they thought, Hey! 13! Friday the 13th! What if we did a mashup of those two movies, and wound up with a laughable premise where Jason goes to space?!?!
"And then maybe we do a mashup of Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street. Can you imagine!"
And no matter how cheesy the franchise got with each sequel, the idea of a Friday the 13th movie on a space station populated by bouncy co-eds having sex with each other would be ridiculous. So ridiculous, that it took a whole six years for them to actually make that very movie.
The film would be called Jason X, in which Jason Vorhees is captured by the government and cryogenically frozen. The unstoppable killing machine later thaws out in a space station in the future, filled with bouncy co-eds having sex with each other.
Bouncy co-eds may be the only true constant in all of space-time.
Jason X was the lowest grossing Friday the 13th film of all time, and wasn't good by any stretch of the imagination. However, while it was certainly loaded with cliches, you can't quite call it unoriginal. After all, MADtv certainly didn't predict Jason dunking a girl's head in liquid nitrogen and smashing it against a countertop, or Jason being shot to bits by a modified sex robot (seriously) and being rebuilt by nanomachines as Uber Jason.
This is what franchise death looks like.
#3. Seinfeld Predicts that Frozen Yogurt is Hiding Fat
In its fifth season, Seinfeld aired an episode called "The Non-Fat Yogurt." This was in 1993, when frozen yogurt shops were appearing everywhere nationwide, claiming all of the taste of ice cream, and somehow none of the fat.
It was the fey dream of a younger world.
But in this episode, Jerry and Elaine become regular customers at a non-fat frozen yogurt joint, only to find they're gaining weight at a rapid pace. They begin to suspect that the yogurt may not be as "non-fat" as it claims. As it turns out, they're right. They actually have some of the yogurt tested, and find the secret ingredient of non-fat yogurt is lots and lots of fat.
This plot was a complete invention of the writers, and not based off any real scandal. However, it seems that this episode got some people thinking, and a few months after the episode aired, New York Magazine published a study of various desserts that claimed to be "diet" or "non-fat." As it turned out, the frozen yogurt industry were just as lying and dishonest as we'd always secretly thought them to be. Only one of the 10 frozen desserts tested was as healthy as it claimed to be. The others contained up to 276 more calories and 12.5 grams of fat more than they claimed to.
"Also, we dust the fruit with arsenic."
Really, is there any more underestimated tool for social change than the sitcom?
#2. Monty Python Predicts the Rise of Furries
We're hoping we don't have to explain who Monty Python are, but suspect that we probably do for some of you. They were simply the most well-known and respected comedy troupe in the world back in their day.
Their sketches and movies were a unique combination of topical and absurd. So much so that this surreal style is now referred to as "Pythonesque." But not even they could outdo real life.
The second episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus, way back in 1969, featured one such "Pythonesque" sketch entitled "The Mouse Problem."
Intended as a satirical view of homosexuality and the controversy surrounding it, the sketch takes the form of a news report, investigating a growing social issue of men dressing up as mice as a sexual fetish. These "mice" go to parties, eat cheese and squeak, and these behaviours have resulted in a public outcry against the lifestyle. The newsreader is joined by two guests: an anonymous "mouse" insider, and a psychologist who poses the question: "Who here can say that they have never been sexually attracted to a mouse?"
OK, maybe that one time we got hammered at Disney World. But that hardly counts. And we were way more into Goofy.
This sketch fails to remain "Pythonesque" in the age of the Internet, thanks to "furry fandom," a phenomenon so popular that we're assuming more of you have heard of it than have heard of Monty Python -- 2008 played host to nearly 40 conventions for furries. And a recent survey shows that while most furries consider themselves entirely human, nearly half admire qualities of other animals, and 3.5 percent truly think of themselves as animals.
Only 1.4 percent of those animals bear any resemblance to a living creature.
And as for the sexual fetish aspect of it, well, that's something you can take up with Google Image search. Have fun.
#1. Laugh-In Predicts the Fall of the Berlin Wall and Reagan's Presidency
If you're under 50 and have no problem with children on your lawn, you could be forgiven for not having heard of Laugh-In. Running from 1968 to 1972, Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In was a very successful sketch comedy show that featured a combination of topical satire and sexual innuendo. A recurring feature of Laugh-In was their "News of the Future" segment. They would report made-up news stories to mock current political and social issues. Two such stories can be seen in this clip:
The first "News of the Future" story in the above 1969 clip contains the following line: "There was dancing in the streets today as East Germany finally tore down the Berlin Wall." OK, that's pretty weird, but it's not that amazi- wait a minute, when did he say this story was from? "Berlin, 20 years from now, 1989."
Via Wiki Commons
Above: Berlin, 1989.
OK, so they predicted one major world event, right to the year that it happened. Freak coincidence. It's not like they did the same thing again ... oh wait, they totally did it again.
The second clip shows them mocking the idea of former actor Ronald Reagan becoming president. It's true that Reagan was already the governor of California at the time, much like Jesse "The Body" Ventura once was the governor of Minnesota. In other words, he was in politics but the idea of him in the white house was laughable (look at how the audience howled at the words "President Ronald Reagan" in the second "News of the Future" story).
He would go on to become the third bullet-taking-est president in American history.
Of course, a little more than a decade later, Reagan did win the presidency, his term ending the very year their "news of the future" segment took place. So, has anyone done a wacky "Donald Trump as president" sketch yet? Laugh all you want, it may seem strangely prescient in, say, 2017.
And we're legitimately sorry if this prediction comes true.

WHEELING - An exciting Labor Day Weekend Celebration is planned at Oglebay Park beginning Saturday and continuing Sept. 1-2.
One of the most-anticipated events, Wheeling Symphony's free performance "Music Under the Stars," with guest vocalist Rosena M. Hill, will take place Sept. 1, according to John Hargleroad, director of operations for the Wheeling Park Commission. The Suzuki Strings perform at the amphitheater at 6:30 p.m. followed by the Wheeling Symphony's performance at 7:30 p.m. A fireworks display concludes the evening.
The Oglebay Woodcarver's Show will be held 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sept. 1 at the Pine Room. The show features sales, demonstrations and exhibits.
Hargleroad noted there is no admission to the Wheeling Symphony performance, Fort Henry Days of the Woodcarver's Show, although donations are appreciated at the Woodcarver's Show.
Inflatable rides and a rock-climbing wall will be at the Schenk Lake area 1-6 p.m. Saturday through Sept. 2.
Daily activity wristbands will be available at the Good Zoo and Visitors Center all three days. The wristbands provide all day use at the Par III golf, Good Zoo and train ride, miniature golf, pedal boats, fishing, outdoor pool, tennis, Glass Museum, trolley, and the Mansion Museum.
"The Labor Day Weekend is a great time to visit the Good Zoo and see the dinosaur exhibit before it goes extinct," said Penny Miller, director of the Good Zoo.
This special exhibit includes five life-sized dinosaurs, one offspring and a nest of newly hatched baby dinos.
"The dinosaurs are fitted with an electric brain so they move and roar," added Miller.
The zoo presents "Dino Talk" with the baby T-Rex from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sept. 1-2.
And because it was so popular last year, "Drool in the Pool" at the Oglebay outdoor pool will return from 4-6 p.m. Sept. 2.
"Dogs, like humans, can enjoy the refreshing water and exercise a public pool provides and many areas across the country allow dogs to swim in a public pool after the pool season is over," said Hargleroad. "We are excited to offer this special dog swim when the outdoor pool closes for the season on Monday at 4 p.m."
There is no admission to "Drool in the Pool." All dogs participating must have proof of a current rabies vaccination, and one human, aged 16 and above, is permitted in the pool with one dog.

What does the word chepa mean when used to refer to a person in Nicaraguan Spanish? What are some examples of how it is used?

Here's how it works:

In Nicaragua we use the word chepa as slang for someone who's always getting into other's business to get gossip. "No seás chepa, dejá de meterte en mis cosas." "Don't be a chepa, stop getting in my stuff."
In Spain chepa means joroba (hump) or, according to RAE, jorobado (humpback).
It is believed by some that humps provide good luck, and so they rub lottery tickets on people's humps. I guess that's why in Colombia it means "good luck".
This is the actual definition for "chepa", but the most used in America is Hispanic good luck the second

Sup guys, I finally managed to make my way to this forum. Been around the D-Toid stuff even since Foom joined the crew. I'm also part of the GameOn network, and branching out a bit.
I am 19, going on 20 in 15 days. I've been a gamer even since I was a child playing on my elder sister's NES and Sega genesis. Sonic was my shit back then... I've owned most consoles, the PS!, PS2, Dreamcast, N64, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360, and PS3 for a while til it died on me. T.T
I am mainly a PC gamer these days, and will sometimes jump on the Xbox 360 if there's a exclusive on there I want to play. Pretty much Halo 4, that's about it. I prefer single player games these days, sine not many games even have good multiplayer these days. The few games I will play Multiplayer are Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Natural Selection 2, and a little BF3.
I've been a caster on Twitch.tv for 3 years, just cast casually nothing big.
And started a youtube a few months ago.
As for non-gaming releated hobbies, I love music. I'm a huge fan of Alternative rock (Favorite band is Coheed and Cambria), and electronica (House, Trance, dubstep, ambient, ect.). I recently, as in on the 26th got a new guitar and have been practicing with that all week. It is a Fender Strat.
Anything else you want to know, just ask. I don't bite, unless, you know.....you're into that kinda shit.

6 'New' Gaming Innovations That Are Way Older Than You Think
#3. Motion Control
We Think It Started With: The Nintendo Wii (2006)
Via Nintendo
A product so ground-breaking that we barely made fun of the name. After the first year or so.
The recent wave of motion-control systems -- beginning with the Nintendo Wii -- has made it possible for gamers all over the world to be a little more active while looking a lot more foolish.
Via Nintendo
Every time you're playing Wii, know that your ancestors are looking at you and thinking, Idiot.
The more recent Xbox Kinect is so advanced that it doesn't even need a controller to detect your movements. That's the future right there, folks.
Actually Been Around Since: The Pantomation (1977)
Actually, this particular method of losing your dignity in front of camera has apparently been around since the late 70s. The Pantomation was video equipment originally developed to read musical scores, but then its creators realized it could also be used to track body movement. By using a low-resolution analog camera and a minicomputer, the Pantomation could create computer graphics that reacted to human movement in various ways.
Via YouTube
Like making it look like you're lifting a weight made of rainbows.
This is basically the same principle used by the Nintendo Wii or even the PlayStation Move -- only, you know, 30 years before. In other words, a few years after freaking color television became the norm, and someone invented a goddamn seventh-generation console. People were playing with this thing before they even knew what Space Invaders was.
The Pantomation did need a controller, sort of: It worked by detecting the movements of a brightly colored object, like a tennis ball or post-chipotle radioactive poop. The system could be programmed to instantly translate the object's trajectory in various ways, from drawing images on the screen to making music.
Via YouTube
Rarely has a man pretending to wank produced such beautiful sounds.
The Pantomation was too expensive to be commercially released (at the time, not everybody had their own television studio at home), but since it was publicly funded, anyone was free to come and play around with the technology as long as they brought their own tape, comfortable clothes and no sense of ridicule whatsoever. Judging by the following video, the Pantomation managed to attract an alarmingly large amount of unemployed mimes.
Tragically, this proved to be indicative of the system's undignified fate. The video game industry was way too young to even consider adopting this technology back then ... so by the 80s the Pantomation was reduced to being used in laser light shows and pantomime performances.
If there's a lower form of art, we haven't thrown garbage at it on the way to work.
#2. Unlocking Achievements
We Think It Started With: The Xbox 360 (2005)
The Xbox 360 is pretty much singlehandedly responsible for popularizing the concept of awarding achievements to gamers for completing specific challenges, such as defeating an enemy or completing a level or owning an Xbox 360 for four years without it breaking down.
"Achievement unlocked! You have just wasted $300 bucks."
The difference with in-game rewards like unlocking a hidden part of the game or finding a hidden item is that these so-called achievements have no real impact on the game itself. The "trophies" are posted directly to the player's online profile, meaning that the whole point is proving to people in the real world that, yes, you do play a lot of video games. Both PlayStation and Steam have been using the same system since 2008, and even Nintendo has incorporated it on a few games.
Actually Been Around Since: Pitfall and other Activision games (1982)
Via Wikipedia
Add alcohol and 1982. Mix for excitement.
That's right, freakin' Pitfall had unlockable achievements, much like Halo or whatever, and most people who played it probably never even knew it.
Via Wikipedia
It was hard to miss it with so much going on.
Back in the days of the Atari 2600, Activision would give out challenges requiring players to reach a certain amount of points or complete a level within a time limit -- for instance, getting 20,000 points in Pitfall or 10,000 in Chopper Command. But wait, how did you prove your achievement to Activision without an Internet connection? Easy: you had to take a photo of your television screen and mail it to them as evidence of your gaming expertise. You could also record the image on a VCR, probably, but then you'd have to go through the mental stress of having to choose between a VHS or a Betamax tape.
Our point being: This was a long time ago, guys.
If you met the requirements, you would then get a letter from Activision telling you how awesome you were. Oh, and some of them were signed by Pitfall Harry himself:
Via Pitfall Harry
"PS: I apologize for my shoddy handwriting, but I am currently being knocked down by a barrel."
Big deal, right? All this accomplished was proving to your friends that you knew how to use a typewriter. Well, that's not all: Along with every letter, you would also receive a special patch as a token of your achievement. There were a total of 43 patches for 33 different Activision games, and some of them were kinda awesome:
Via Atari Age
... while others would inevitably get you beat up at school.
Via Atari Age
Any child who wore this must be just now waking up from the coma.
Activision was, at some point, receiving more than 2,000 letters every day, and according to Pitfall's creator, the bulk of those letters were kids demanding their badges. Pitfall alone led to 14,000 letters in a single week. It got so ridiculous that Activision had to hire employees just to open and answer the letters. So if these achievements were so popular, how come we're only hearing about them now? The obvious explanation is that these were actually the same 10 or so players, obsessively getting as many "trophies" as possible so they could show them off to their gamer friends.
The early 80s equivalent of a PSN profile.
#1. DLC (Downloadable Content)
We Think It Started With: Sega Dreamcast's online service (2000)
The Sega Dreamcast, released in 1998, was the first console to come with a built-in modem, though their online service didn't launch until two years later. It would take a couple more years for the Xbox to really kick things into high gear by offering extra content for games like Halo 2 and Splinter Cell.
"You know what would make this better? Paying more money."
By now, pretty much every console can get online. But that's only been made possible by recent developments like high-speed Internet and Wi-fi connections ... or so we thought.
Actually Been Around Since: Atari's GameLine peripheral (1983)
Via Atari Accessories
That's right -- it could freaking fly.
The GameLine was an oversized Atari cartridge (manufactured by a company called CVC) that had the ability to transmit data through a simple phone line. After activating your account by calling a toll-free number -- and supplying your mom's credit card information -- you could connect your Atari to a central computer and download over 80 games for about a dollar each. Every game would then be playable for about five to 10 times before you had to pay to download it again. If the GameLine seems a little expensive, that's because it came from the motherfucking future.
Via Retroist
But wait, it gets even more mindblowing: This technology was originally developed as a way for people to download songs into their homes through cable providers. Twenty years before Napster or iTunes, the planned "Home Music Store" would have made it possible for anyone to buy music online. Yes, in an era when people were trying to update their music library from vinyl to state-of-the-art cassette tapes, the "Home Music Store" would have completely bypassed CDs and gone straight to the next format. The only problem: All the major record companies refused to provide music for it, afraid to piss off retailers.
"What are they gonna do? Find a way to do this for free? Ha!"
That's when Bill Von Meister, one of the founders of CVC, acquired this brilliant but now completely useless technology and turned it into a way to download video games. But besides the GameLine, CVC started developing other online services like the MailLine (the ability to send electronic mail from your Atari 2600), NewsLine (read news headlines and weather updates, like in an RSS feed) and OpinionLine (an early version of Internet message boards). Add a PornLine and some cat memes and we've got ourselves a full Internet, decades ahead of time.
All these projects would have probably come to fruition if the GameLine had done well, but it didn't. The problem, once again, was that none of the major game developers like Activision, Coleco or even Atari wanted anything to do with it, which meant that the GameLine's impressive 80-game library consisted mostly of obscure, shitty games nobody wanted to play. Add that to goddamn ET and the video game crash of '83, and the whole company went bankrupt.
That doesn't mean Von Meister abandoned his plans, though -- it only means it took him a little longer to realize them. He went on to create another company that reused the same technology: something called America OnLine. So, basically, a failed gaming peripheral nobody wanted anything to do with revolutionized modern life as we know it.

Casinos' slots 'win' down significantly in June
Slot-machine revenues declined sharply at the Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos last month, closing the books on the casinos' dwindling payments to the state in the 2012-13 fiscal year.
The casinos combined to contribute $296.4 million to the state's General Fund in the 12 months ended June 30, a 13.9 percent decline from the $344.3 million they paid the previous fiscal year. The decline was much more than anticipated when the state adopted its 2012-13 budget.

Professor, Department of Medicine (Infectious Diseases)
Professor, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Women's Health
Vice Chair for Research, Department of Medicine
Associate Director, Block Institute for Clinical and Translational Research
Marla Keller, MD is Professor of Medicine (Division of Infectious Diseases), Obstetrics & Gynecology and Women's Health. She has a long-standing interest in the prevention and treatment of HIV-infection in women.
Dr. Keller graduated from New York University School of Medicine, completed residency training in Internal Medicine at Beth Israel Hospital, and a fellowship in the combined Infectious Disease training program at Beth Israel Hospital and Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston, MA. She completed the Clinical Research Training Prgram at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
Dr. Keller leads a research program focused on early phase clinical trials to assess the safety of candidate vaginal microbicides, drugs in development to prevent the sexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus, herpes simplex virus and human papillomavirus. Her studies also focus on defining the factors that contribute to innate mucosal immunity in the female genital tract of HIV-infected and uninfected US and African women. She has completed safety and pharmacokinetic studies of candidate microbicide gels (PRO 2000, Tenofovir, Dapivirine, Acidform), tablets (Tenofovir/Emtricitabine) and vaginal rings (Acyclovir) and tested laboratory assays, which may prove to serve as biomarkers predictive of microbicide safety and efficacy.
Dr. Keller is a co-investigator of the Bronx/Manhattan consortium of the NIH-funded Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), a multi-center, prospective cohort established in 1994 to investigate the impact of HIV infection on women in the United States. Her work in the WIHS focuses on genital mucosal immunity and HPV screening practices in HIV-infected and at-risk women.
Dr. Keller is a fellow of the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA), a member of the HIV Medical Association (HIVMA) and a Councilor of the Infectious Diseases Society of New York. She is a member of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents (a working group of the Office of AIDS Research Council). She leads the Clinical Investigation Services Core and is Director of the Clinical Research Center, components of the Harold and Muriel Block Institute for Clinical and Translational Research at Einstein and Montefiore, which is funded as an NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) consortium member. She is also an active member of the Einstein-Montefiore Center for AIDS Research.

ELECTED: Wheeling attorney Scott Blass is the new president of the West Virginia Association of Justice.
Blass, a partner in the firm of Bordas & Bordas, PLLC, was elected at the organization's annual convention in Charleston.
An executive committee member since 2005, a primary focus of his presidency will be to continue to educate West Virginia consumers, businesses and lawmakers about access to the courts and protecting their right to trial by jury.
A native of Morgantown, Blass was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of West Virginia University with a bachelor's degree in political science. He earned his juris doctorate from the WVU College of Law in 1987, and received the Order of Barristers Award. After completing law school, he served first as an associate and then as a partner in the Wheeling law firm of Bachmann, Hess, Bachmann & Garden, and also served as an assistant prosecuting attorney for Ohio County. He joined Bordas & Bordas in 1992.
He is admitted to practice in state and federal courts in West Virginia and Ohio, representing clients in a variety of personal injury cases including medical malpractice, products liability, premises liability and vehicular accidents.
He and his wife, Kathy, have been married 27 years and are the parents of two sons, George and Sam. Mrs. Blass is a breast cancer survivor, and the couple founded Ohio Valley Breast Cancer Awareness and its annual Driving for a Cure golf tournament. The organization provides breast cancer patients and their families with resources needed post-surgery and through chemotherapy, including special camisoles and robes for masectomy patients. In 2009, the group made a $10,000 contribution to Ohio Valley Medical Center for its state-of-the-art digital mammography unit.

Gilad Schalit arrives from captivity 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS/Handout )
The most pressing issue in Israel right now is locating Naftali Fraenkel, Gil-Ad Shaer and Eyal Yifrah – the teenagers abducted on Thursday, June 12, by Hamas terrorists – and (hopefully) rescuing them from the clutches of their captors. With each passing hour, there is a growing fear that the country is about to enter into a situation similar to that which followed the kidnapping of Gilad Schalit in 2006.For five years after Schalit's abduction, the Jewish state was caught in a trap – understanding that negotiating with terrorists sets a dangerous precedent, yet unwilling to forfeit the life of a young soldier who had become a household name.

Is there any significance in Judaism attached to the day someone was born (aside for the 13th year)? Is there anything wrong with celebrating one's birthday? And is it more correct to celebrate the "hebrew" date or the gregorian date?

There are definitely some specially celebratory ones other than age 13, such as when one surpasses the deadline for kares, as Rav Yosef did when he turned 60 and threw himself a party (Mo'ed Katan 28). The Kaf Hachayim, cited in this article by Rav Ari Enkin, also quotes sources for age 70 being an appropriate birthday to recite birkas shehechiyanu (presumably due to its identification with the human lifespan). That same article presents plenty of sources for the significance of the birthdays of great people in our history, both from practical and metaphysical standpoints.
The assumption in all of the above is that the birthday of significance is the Jewish one. For example, (as you noted) it is what determines the date that one reaches legal adulthood, and all other considerations in halacha.
A birthday is a time to reflect and to accept upon oneself to improve in one's ways. The correct day to celebrate is the Hebrew date. It is significant as we see in Pirkei Avos Ben Esrim, Ben Shloshim, etc.
Sichos in English has a list of birthday customs suggested by the last Lubavitcher Rebbe.
Rav Aviner addresses this question as follows
There is a notion that someone celebrating a birthday is a Chiyuv for getting an Aliyah to the Torah. It comes really low on the list, but it is there.
According to the Ben Ish Chai it is important. But even more important is one's bris day. He writes in shana alef parshas Re'eh ois 17 that people are noheig to make their birthday into a yom tov, and it is a good siman, he adds that he too did it. He goes on to describe the bris-day minhag.
It doesn't seem like there's any real significance to an ordinary birthday. But it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with marking another lap around the sun. For Jewish matters, the hebrew birthday is what counts, so I assume that would be the main day. However, see this post:
Hirhurim also discussed birthdays here: http://torahmusings.com/2004/11/birthdays/
Though over here, R.Enkin found some scattered sources that might support it: http://torahmusings.com/2008/03/birthdays-2/
I've heard argued that the secular date should be celebrated because the only source in tanach that we have of birthdays is Pharoh celebrating his birthday in Gen 40:20 There is no reference in tanach to a hebrew birthday. Hence the secular date should be celebrated.
