This video leads students through modeling the regular, non-linear pendulum with a differential equation. We explore why solutions to a differential equation are an infinite family of functions. We show that to determine a specific solution to this second order differential equation, two initial conditions must be specified. Proof of the need for two initial conditions is shown via use of the Taylor Series.

Here you see MIT's Walter Lewin, about to swing on a pendulum. We can write a function for how the angle theta 1 depends on time, which completely describes his motion.
But what if Walter were to start swinging from here, instead of there? We'd need a different function, theta 2 of t.
And what if one of his students were to give him a little push? That's right—we'd need a third function, theta 3 of t.
It would be great if we could write a single rule, based on physical principles, that governs the behavior of the pendulum. And every function that describes pendulum motion would have to satisfy this rule.
This video will show you how to write rules like these using the language of differential equations.
This video is part of the Differential Equations video series. Laws that govern a system's properties can be modeled using differential equations.
Hi, my name is Peter Dourmashkin. And I am a senior physics lecturer at MIT.
Differential equations are very important in modeling physical phenomena. They describe rules that constrain the behavior of many complex physical and social systems.
Before watching this video, you should be familiar with drawing free body force diagrams and applying Newton's second law in polar coordinates. You should remember how to write a Taylor series expansion of a function about a point, and understand what it means.
After watching this video, you should be able to do the following 3 things:
Understand that the physical laws governing a system's properties can be modeled using differential equations,
Explain that the solution to a differential equation is a family of functions,
And recognize that specifying initial conditions determines a particular solution function to a differential equation.
Let's see how differential equations arise as a natural language to model the pendulum. To develop this model, we will use our knowledge of physics.
First, what is a pendulum? A pendulum is typically an object, called a bob, which hangs from one end of a string. The other end is fixed to a pivot point.
Let's pause the video. Try to describe what you think are the important properties of pendulum motion. You might have said that the behavior is periodic, that the same motion repeats over and over. We say that the pendulum exhibits oscillations, or harmonic motion. Maybe you also noted that the motion is rotational, moving in a circular path about the pivot point.
Finally, you may know that the motion eventually stops, that is, the oscillations experience a damping force. Overall we describe the motion as "damped harmonic motion."
Now, let's develop a model for the pendulum. A good first step is to choose a coordinate system. Because the pendulum rotates about a fixed pivot point, it makes sense to use polar coordinates. Theta is the angle the bob makes with the vertical, and r is the distance of the bob from the pivot point.
Remember that when using vector in polar coordinates, r-hat is the unit vector that points radially outward from the pivot point, and theta-hat is the unit vector that points perpendicular to r-hat, tangential to the motion of the pendulum.
Whenever you model a system, it's important to recognize that you are making some simplifying assumptions. We are going to start by making three:
This means that all motion happens in the tangential direction; none in the radial direction.
Now let's figure out what we need to know to describe the motion of the pendulum.
At the speeds we are dealing with, we can ignore relativistic effects; there are no electromagnetic forces, and the scale is large enough that quantum mechanics isn't necessary. So we'll use Newton's second law to describe the motion of the pendulum.
What forces do you think we need to consider in this problem? Pause the video here.
Let's draw a free body diagram for an instant where the bob is to the right of vertical, and moving downwards.
There is the gravitational force acting on the bob, due to the interaction between the Earth and the bob, which points straight down with magnitude mg. We treat this force as acting on the center of mass of the bob.
The string exerts a force on the bob, which you know as tension. We don't know what the magnitude of this force is, so we'll just write it as T, pointing inwards towards the pivot point.
Finally, the motion will eventually stop, so there must be damping forces acting on the system. The damping forces are complicated. For example, there is friction at the pivot point, and air resistance on the bob. Let's make an assumption that the damping force due to friction at the pivot point is negligible because the string is small and lubricated. Then the damping force is almost entirely from the drag due to air resistance.
The bob doesn't experience any drag when it is stationary, and experiences larger amounts of drag the faster it is moving. Because the speeds of the pendulum are relatively slow, that is we do not expect there to be turbulence, we can model the drag force as being linearly proportional to velocity, and opposing the direction of motion. Because we assume that all motion occurs in tangential direction, we can draw the damping force like so.
Recall that Newton's second law is a vector equation. Because force and acceleration are both vector quantities, we need to decompose them into r-hat and theta-hat components. Remember, acceleration can be decomposed into two component vectors, one pointing radially inward called centripetal acceleration, and a tangential component vector called angular acceleration. We also need to decompose our force vectors. Notice that the tension force is already pointing radially inward, in the negative r-hat direction. And the damping force is pointing in the theta-hat direction, opposite the direction of the angular velocity vector.
So all we have to do is decompose the gravitational force. We project that vector onto the r-hat and theta-hat component vectors. In the r-hat direction the magnitude is mg cos(theta) and points outwards. In the theta-hat direction, the magnitude is mg sin(theta) and points in the negative theta-hat direction.
Newton's second law can now be written as two component equations. One in the radial direction, mg cosine theta minus tension is equal to m times centripetal acceleration.
And the other in the tangential direction, negative mg sine theta minus k times angular velocity is equal to m times the angular acceleration.
This system of two equations has two unknowns: the angle theta and the tension. Remember that we are trying to find an expression for how the angle theta depends on time. This second equation is more useful to us, because we can express both the angular velocity and the angular acceleration in terms of theta. Let's see how.
The circular motion of the pendulum is a 1-dimensional motion, parameterized by time t. The displacement of the pendulum away from center is the arc length, which is L times theta of t. Because the angular velocity is tangent to the circle of motion, it can be found simply by differentiating the displacement with respect to the parameter t, which gives us that the angular velocity is L times the time derivative of theta. The angular acceleration is just the time derivative of the angular velocity, and is given by L times the second time derivative of theta.
Observe that this works because we are only looking for the angular velocity and angular acceleration which point tangent to our 1-dimensional motion. In fact, we see that the velocity is everywhere tangent to the motion, if we think of the velocity as the limit of the displacement vector with respect to a small change in time.
However, the acceleration has two components. It has an angular component that we computed, but it also has a radial component, the centripetal acceleration. The tangential component comes from how the velocity vector changes in magnitude, and the radial component comes from how the velocity vector changes in direction.
So now we've found expressions for the magnitudes of the angular velocity and angular acceleration:
We can substitute these equations into Newton's Second Law in the theta-hat direction; we obtain the following equation.
This is a second order ordinary differential equation or 2nd order ODE. It is ordinary because there is only one independent variable, time, that the angle theta depends on. It is second order because the highest degree derivative that appears in the equation is a second derivative.
Any function describing the pendulum motion must satisfy this differential equation. Keep in mind that there are other forces we ignored, such as friction at the pivot point. This is a very simple but nontrivial model for the non-linear pendulum.
Notice that the first derivative term is our velocity dependent drag force. If we decide that this term is negligible, we would get this equation. It is still complicated, but you might notice that it looks somewhat familiar.
If we assume that the displacement of the angle is very small, we can approximate sin theta as the angle theta, which gives us this equation. This is the equation of the simple harmonic oscillator. So you see that this piece connecting the term sin theta and the second derivative of theta produces the oscillatory behavior, and the first derivative term is responsible for the damping of the motion.
We've seen that we can apply our knowledge of physical laws to model a non-linear pendulum with a differential equation. How does this differential equation describe the motion of a pendulum?
A differential equation is an equation where the unknown element is a function, rather than a number or a single value. The differential equation is a rule that describes how the system evolves from any time t to a time t plus Delta t. In particular, it describes the relationship between the angle theta and its first and second derivatives as the system evolves over time.
Remember that to describe the motion of the pendulum, we need an expression for the angle theta as a function of time. Do you think there is a unique solution to this differential equation? Pause the video here and discuss.
You probably have some sense that the motion of the pendulum depends on how and where you release it—conditions we refer to as initial conditions.
For example, if we barely move the pendulum away from center, and release it from rest, the oscillation will be small. Larger displacements will give larger oscillations, even though eventually they all damp down to zero. All of these pendulum motions satisfy the same differential equation!
Since every starting position will give a different dependence of theta on time, the solution is not unique. We say that the solution to a differential equation is an infinite family of functions.
But what if we were are interested in finding one solution in particular?
In the examples you just saw, we specified the initial angle from which the pendulum was released. Is this the only piece of information we need to pick out a specific solution from the infinite family?
Let's test that. Here you see two identical pendulums, each starting from the same initial angle. Are we guaranteed that the motion will be the same?
Pause the video here to make a prediction.
Clearly not. What was the difference between the initial conditions for these two pendulums? Pause the video here.
The initial angles of both pendulums were the same. However, one was released from rest, and the other had an initial push. In other words, the initial angular velocities were different. Remember, our differential equation only holds after the pendulum is released because it doesn't include the action of the pushing force.
Now we see the importance of specifying two initial conditions—the initial angle and the initial angular velocity. Remember, the differential equation is the rule for how the system evolves over time. In order to solve this differential equation, we are going to use the Taylor series expansion for the function theta about t=0.
Recall that this is a polynomial series, whose coefficients are determined by all of the derivatives of the function theta at time t=0. So how can we find all of these derivatives of theta?
Let's use the differential equation to find the second derivative at time t=0. Notice that it depends on both of our initial conditions: initial angle and initial angular velocity. This is why we need these initial conditions.
We can differentiate the second derivative to find the third derivative at time t=0. Notice again that the third derivative depends on the initial angle, the initial angular velocity, and the second derivative at time t=0.
We can continue this process and find recursive formulas for the all of the higher order derivatives of theta at time t=0! That's how the two initial conditions allow us to pick out a solution, by specifying all of the coefficients for the Taylor series at t=0. Our Taylor series solution completely describes the function theta. But it only works on the interval of convergence. If the series converges everywhere, we're done! But if it doesn't converge everywhere, it must converge on some interval.
So you see, a differential equation can determine a specific function if you have enough pieces of initial data to determine all the Taylor coefficients for the function. In our case, with a second order ordinary differential equation, we just needed two initial conditions.
Pause the video. If you had a third order differential equation, how many initial conditions would you need to specify one solution? [Pause] That's right, three!
We wanted to describe the motion of a pendulum. We did this by making a model, where we made some simplifying assumptions and applied Newton's Second Law.
This gave us the differential equation, which is the rule that any function of pendulum motion and its derivatives must satisfy.
We saw there is an infinite family of solution functions for a differential equation.
Because our differential equation was second order, we needed 2 initial conditions to specify one solution.
The initial conditions allowed us to determine the coefficients of the Taylor series for the angle theta as a function of time, which solved the differential equation.
It is highly recommended that the video is paused when prompted so that students are able to attempt the activities on their own and then check their solutions against the video.
During the video, students will:

REVEALED: Apple fanbois are 'MENTALLY UNSTABLE' - iShop staff
This nicely encapsulates all of Apple support.

Thankfully I didn't buy anything from the store, and with this experience most probably never will.
Important is that every time time they f**ck something up they say "Are you happy for me to ...." No I'm not happy, unless you solve my problem. But latter is not part of the script.

How Google's Android Silver could become 'Wintel for phones'
It should be noted...
...a part from HTC, no other vendor actually improved on stock Android.
Add operator pressure, awful software bundles, and typically no updates within phone's lifetime, and Silver starts looking like a real good deal.
Apart from HTC, again, but it didn't pay off to them...
Don't let the SAN go down on me: Is the storage array on its way OUT?
Re: Is the SAN on it's way out?
Spot on - properly sized and bought midrange storage nowadays along with a SAN and some VMware can do lots of stuff very very cost-effectively.
Achieving the same kind of performance, ease of management, predictability and utilization with any other technology is simply not possible, IMO.
Ten gig ethernet is still way off on ease of configuration and management; you need a separate LAN for data traffic, separate settings (jumbo frames anyone?), etc. etc. Adapter prices are comparable these days and Cisco switches easily beat 8G FC on price per port (which is ridiculous), add to that essential non-understanding of data traffic issues from LAN admins and you have a firm business case for SAN.
How many people are willing to put it down on paper is sadly a different matter altogether.

Correct, you can already store all the porn in the world in one array (in HD) - this resolves the issue of "how many streams can you run concurrently?"

+1 for LTO
Grab a LTO4 or 5 drive, and change to every other generation.
The real question is how much data you want to back up, what backup/restore granularity you need and what software you will use to index it all
HDD's are simply too big to be practical, difficult to remove with a consistent backup set and a total lottery if they will spin up when you need the data afterwards.
In this respect, MO is probably the best, but too expensive per GB and availability of a working drive 15 years hence is probably zero.
So LTO remains the "sweet spot" - reasonable capacity per-tape, tapes can be removed and stored elsewhere, cheap and quick. Question is, can Drobo feed a LTO drive?

Eye spy future HP Moonshot server nodes
It's hard for me to see the purpose of stuff like this - if you want/need performance, you go with HPC stuff, whatever is flavour of the day there.
If you need cheap web and DB servers, buy only a few and virtualize.

Re: since 2007
Major problem today - can't get anything near as good as the screen you have in that "old" LT.

The sooner they're both gone, the better for manufacturers and customers alike. Sadly.
Huawei unwraps Ascend P6: World's slimmest smartphone
Re: Looks good!
>> I just do not understand why it's so hard to get a laptop with a resolution better than 1366x768 for around £500 or less
I guess for a couple reasons, bearing in mind that screen is probably the most expensive single component within a laptop:
1. Wintel tax has brought actual manufacturer's profits to near 0, so they have to make some money anywhere
2. Microsoft has as yet failed to bring its OS into late 20th century by auto-scaling fonts and UI in accordance with display's physical size as opposed to pixel count
3. MS is trying to present their crap as value-add, although they haven't input any value in IT for the past 10 years - so the laptops must cost 1000+
CIA spooks picked Amazon's 'superior' cloud over IBM
Just to recap - out of five technical areas, Amazon is judged slightly better at 3, really better at 1 (but a "demo" should not really count for much) and IBM is slightly better at 1.

BT links with Huawei raise national security concerns, say MPs
Re: They are merely copying the Americans
Completely correct.
And if the Parliament (and their worldwide counterparts) are so concerned about security of their citizen's data, why not look into eg. Microsoft, a known security hole generator and proven snooper of supposedly private communications?
After all, they still fully control over 90% of places where data is being generated, viewed or analyzed, Huawei is nowhere near that kind of dominance.
New Lumia 925: This, loyalists, is the BIG ONE you've waited for

- can't get a good free ebook reader
- no file browser
- you must use skydrive to store your stuff
- if yiou get multiple apps for the same thing, each app downloads a separate copy of the file (if it manages to be compatible with it in the first place)

Think enterprise software is complex? Check out the licences
Forgot Microsoft?
Microsoft deserves a (dis)honourable mention in this article - just try to work out what you owe them, especially if you try to run any kind of application on Windows server in VMware...
As many posters agreed, all of these licensing schemes are designed only to maximize profit and wrangling space and try to make tie-ins look more palpable.
For example, to a CFO or just about anyone outside IT it would seem that MSFT and ORCL offer competitive virtualization platform, whereas in reality they're simply not worth the asking price.
Microsoft nominally gives Hyper-V for 0, however you must license Windows Server Data center edition, plus SCVMM if you want to actually use it, plus maybe you need SPLA (maybe not), maybe you need External Connector (maybe not)... . the list is effectively infinite and changes every 6 months or so, yet the value delivered is far less than VMware Enterprise+.
Master Beats: Why doesn't audio quality matter these days?
It's hard to remember which came first - crappy Apple players or crappy music production values...
I do remember being astonished that my friend's then-shiny-new iPod sounded like a normal cassette vs. CD when compared with Sony Walkman phone. And that with same headphones and same tune.
Ten years later, all music is produced to iStuff quality standards, and there we are.
Although being totally honest, Beats are decent headphones - I got a pair and although they can't replace Shure's that I broke, they aren't half bad either.

Trial of FBI agent opens in Stafford
A broken heart and other pressures pushed Arthur Gonzales to the breaking point last year when he snapped and killed his wife of 17 years at the Stafford County home they'd shared since 2010, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Stafford Commonwealth's Attorney Eric Olsen said in his opening statement that the "super trained" FBI agent then "staged" a crime scene to cover up what he'd done to 42-year-old Julie Serna Gonzales, who died April 19 from four gunshot wounds to the chest.
"He said he had no choice but that's not the case," Olsen said. "He chose to kill his wife and that's what he did."
Defense attorney Mark Gardner agreed that Gonzales killed his wife, but he agreed with little else in Olsen's opening statement.
"The scene supports what he said happened because it's the truth," Gardner told the jurors. "I challenge the commonwealth to prove that he staged anything."
Gonzales, 43, is charged with second-degree murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony. Wednesday marked the first day of what is scheduled as a five-day jury trial in Stafford Circuit Court.
Most of the first day was dominated by a lengthy jury selection process and opening arguments. Prosecutors Olsen, Kristen Bird and Michael Hardiman then called three witnesses before Judge Sarah Deneke sent the jurors home for the evening.
Julie and Arthur Gonzales were in the process of obtaining a divorce the afternoon of April 19 when Arthur Gonzales returned to his home at 59 Alderwood Drive in North Stafford. As part of a separation agreement, Julie Gonzales had moved out and Arthur Gonzales had primary custody of their two sons at the home. The children were not home at the time.
Gonzales told police that his estranged wife told him she was at the home to pick up some summer clothes. After she made a few trips to her car, he said he told her he wanted to talk about speeding up the divorce.
The FBI agent told police that this upset his wife, who he said told him she thought they were reconciling. After he told her that was not the case, according to the story, she attacked him with a knife.
Arthur Gonzales, who had some minor cuts, told police he "reacted" and shot her.
Gonzales called 911 after the shooting. The call initially went to Las Cruces, N.M., where the Gonzaleses lived and had Internet phone service before moving to Stafford, but eventually Gonzales spoke with Stafford dispatcher Tammy Embrey.
In the 911 tape played for the jury, Gonzales told Embrey that he "had to shoot" his wife after she attacked him with a knife. Embrey then spent about 10 minutes on the phone guiding a distraught-sounding Gonzales through the CPR process. There was never any indication that Julie Gonzales was alive.
In his opening statement, Olsen suggested that Gonzales' failing relationship with 23-year-old Cara Kast was a bigger factor than anything Julie Gonzales did that afternoon.
Olsen said the evidence would show that Gonzales was "completely obsessed" with Kast and began an intense relationship with her even before filing for divorce in June of 2012.
Olsen said Gonzales and Kast broke up in January of last year after he learned she was seeing another FBI agent, Allen George. But they reconciled a couple of months later and resumed the relationship.
Toward the end of March, Olsen said, Gonzales looked through Kast's phone while she was sleeping and learned that she was still seeing George, an Indiana-based agent. Gonzales had just had lunch with Kast before he came home and saw his estranged wife.
"He was always in control, but he could not control Cara Kast," Olsen said. "And Julie Gonzales paid the price for it."
Gardner said that his client had no reason to harm his wife. He said an affair she had in New Mexico and her problems with alcohol had damaged the marriage, but he said Gonzales moved the family to Virginia in a "desperate" effort to save it.
He finally got Julie Gonzales to go to rehabilitation, Gardner said, but she came home and immediately resumed drinking heavily. Finally, Arthur Gonzales had had enough and sought the divorce.
In response to Olsen's claim that Gonzales feigned concern about his dying wife, Gardner urged the jurors to listen carefully to the 911 call and his interviews with police.
"No one at the Academy Awards could have put on an act like Mr. Gonzales did if Mr. Olsen is to be believed," Gardner said.
The prosecution was scheduled to resume its case at 9 a.m. Thursday.

Question by CarbonDated: What happens during a stress test and what exactly are they looking for?
I'm having a stress test tomorrow (treadmill) and don't really know much about it. While my current issues could be totally attributable to an increase in allergies and excess weight, my doc wants to rule out heart problems. I assume that I will be walking on a treadmill and they hook me to some monitor. Do they make you walk until you collapse or what? Is it on an incline? Oh, I am female if that makes any difference.
Best answer:
Answer by Xeod
A typical stress tests involves measuring heart rate, blood pressure, etc. before you start and then measuring again after you have "stressed" your cardio-vascular system by walking on a treadmill. They then compare the heart rate, BP, and blood flow to determine if any blockages or impairments are evident.
Usually you will be required to walk at an increasing pace & increasing incline until you reach your maximum capacity (ready to collapse).
I had a stress test 2 years ago and was injected with a marker (dye) so they could scan blood flow before & after the stress test. It wasn't my most pleasant experience, but it wasn't really a bad experience, either. PS – my heart was OK – not great, but generally OK.

text: Apolitical 'Zero Dark Thirty' a Victory for New Media Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 20 Dec 2012 post a comment President Barack Obama makes a cameo appearance in "Zero Dark Thirty" via a news clip that lasts less than 20 seconds. We barely hear from - or about - Obama otherwise. Would that have been the case had New Media not been alive and kicking? We're guessing not. We know the studio behind the film felt pressure about the original release date - mere weeks before the presidential election. Conservatives and New Media outlets alike questioned the timing of a film detailing Obama's one bona fide success. Why else did the studio ultimately opt for a time after all the votes had been tallied? One reason "Zero Dark Thirty" is getting such attention is because it plays its subject mostly straight. No sucker punches. No political speeches shoehorned into the narrative. No overt cheerleading. It's a procedural thriller ripped from the headlines, not the op-ed pages of The New York Times. The film certainly makes it apparent that enhanced interrogation, or what the mainstream media blithely calls "torture," helped lead the U.S. military to Osama bin Laden's hideout. It's been humorous to watch the film's creative team deny that, all the while appeasing both the liberal media and liberal Hollywood along the way. Given their instincts, don't you think they would have been partial to incorporating their own ideologies into the story? They could have, but New Media outlets like Breitbart News would have hounded them over their inaccuracies and bias. "Zero Dark Thirty" is now playing in select theaters in New York City and Los Angeles. It opens nationwide Jan. 11, 2013.

Far Rockaway, NY
Walking through Far Rockaway, you will quickly notice that the streets are lined with colorful beach bungalows. This area along 24th Beach, 25th Beach, and 26th Beach Streets is known as the Far Rockaway Beach Bungalow Historic District, and in 2013, it became listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This neighborhood was once a resort community, with the wealthy and famous building and purchasing vacation homes along the Beach Streets. Today, however, this is simply a residential area, and the Beachside Bungalow Preservation Association has been formed to maintain these unique homes.
From surfers to swimmers, Rockaway Beach is the place to be during a New York summer. Both O'Donohue Park and the Beach 6 Playground are located on the shores of Far Rockaway. These parks offer areas for lots of outdoor activities, including volleyball, skating, basketball, and playgrounds for children. You can also find miles of sandy beaches and areas for barbecuing. It is no wonder millions of visitors from all over the East Coast flock to this area from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Just make sure to come early or you may not be able to find a place to lay your towel.
Founded in 1969, the creation of the Yeshiva marked a shift in Far Rockaway. What used to be a vacation destination until the late 1950s had transformed into a residential neighborhood with the Orthodox Jewish community making up about one fifth of the population. So this Haredi yeshiva was created to serve as a high school and seminary for the children and students in Far Rockaway to gain both a general and religious education. Today, it is one of only two high schools in the neighborhood, with the other being a private Christian school.

Microsoft and Epic Games debuted a new trailer for Gears of War: Judgment at the Video Game Awards tonight. Watch it below.
I thought they'd be done with this when CliffyB left. I guess not. :|
Cliffy B is only one of many higher ups at Epic who partook in a mass exodus.
Lionhead lost Peter Molyneaux.
Bungie ran to the arms of Activision.
The common thread?
You be the judge.
cant wait to see the boss in action
And Gears of War 4 will be next, just like Halo. MS seriously needs to push for more IP like Sony.
Added YouTube ver., 720p and all that.
Gears of War will never die! xD

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - An FBI agent has testified that some of the text messages that a former BP engineer deleted from his cellphone contained information that could have been evidence in the Justice Department's investigation of the company's 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Special Agent Kelly Bryson was the first witness to testify when prosecutors began presenting their case Wednesday for Kurt Mix's trial on obstruction of justice charges.
Investigators recovered a string of deleted messages that Mix had sent to a supervisor while he worked on a team of experts who were trying to seal BP's blown-out Macondo well.
Bryson said some of those messages helped show what BP engineers knew at the time about the amount of oil gushing out of the well.

Went to Fudruckers for the first time ever, at the Harrah's Casino in New Orleans. This may have been the worst burger I've ever had in my life. Never again.
I love Fuddruckers burgers. The cooked-to-order meat, the chewy buns... I think they have a really good chain burger IF you don't get that nasty cheese sauce or any of their other special toppings. Stick to lettuce, tomato and pickles. And they have great steak-cut fries too.
I agree with Jim. I really like Fuddruckers. I've had both a hamburger and a turkey burger cooked perfectly and I love the toppings you get to choose from. The fries are great too IMO.
It's been years since I've had Fuddruckers, but I really enjoyed their turkey burgers, especially piled high with their salsa.
re: Heatherb
I had a pretty simple burger: cheddar burger with onions and pickles that I added myself. I just thought it was nasty. I mean it was really, really bad.
re: Blumie
explain more. what were you looking for that you didn't get? what was repulsive? How on earth was this worse than a fast food burger, or a bar/grill burger?
re: amkirkland
I apologize for not being able to articulating better, but I was looking for a good tasting burger and this just wasn't. I wasn't expecting a great burger -- I don't know of any national chain that delivers a great burger -- but I was looking for a decent 2am-after-a-night-of-partying burger and this just wasn't it. I know I should give the chain another chance -- no restaurant should be judged based on just one visit -- but I really didn't like it.
re: Blumie
Hmmm... "2am-after-a-night-of-partying"... could this be part of the answer? In all honesty I would probably rather spend 1-2 bucks for a fast food burger than 7 for fuddruckers, but I think they're good.
re: amkirkland
No, that's not part of the answer. If anything, that should make it taste better!
re: Blumie
Yeah, but at 2am after a night of partying, the sole of my work boot would taste good if you put enough ketchup on it! Sort of reminds me of those old Stewart Sandwiches the bars used to sell. The only time they tasted any good, was after way too much moose milk!!
re: mack184
I agree... Give me a nice grease bomb burger, like Tommy's in LA.
I think you should give Fudds another try. I always get a great burger there.
Our family is a long-time fan of Fuddruckers and look for them wherever we go since we no longer live near one. Their burgers are good, as are the grilled chicken sandwiches (my choice). Wish we had one here.... We now have Five Guys here and think their fries are getting close to Nathan's fries. Cooked in peanut oil. (sorry to the peanut allergy people).
The gross factor could have been caused by the fact that you went to a Fuddruckers in a casino. IMO chain food that is found in a casino doesn't have to be as good as the chain outside. They know that have you, so they don't have to tried as hard. I went to Rubios for fish tacos inside the Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas. They were disgusting. The fish was cold and the cabbage was dried and old. It is also like the food court at the mall. I like the Fuddruckers by my house, the burgers are good.
my whole family loves fuddruckers. we use to go to the one in pasadena (in ca) but they closed it. i believe they lost their lease. we were all upset. likely they opened a new one in ontario. my parents and sisters always order the hamburger. i go back and forth between the turkey burger, chicken sandwich, and chicken tenders. i absolutely love their french fries and the jalapeno cheese sauce. yum.
re: goldenroxy
There's one near the mall in Burbank... a lot closer to Pasadena than Ontario is.
I like Fudd's usually. The buffalo burger is quite tasty, the turkey burger is good, and the nachos might be the best value for $5 you can find.
re: Bostonbob3
yep, lots of bun
re: Bostonbob3
I haven't been to Fuddrucker's in a long time, but I remember that the toppings are all at a self-serve bar. So if you pile on the toppings (as I do), a bigger bun isn't necessarily a drawback.
Frankly, I've never understood complaints about any burger joint's buns being too large. It's just something extra to nibble on, like a generous portion of fries. I think the real question is whether the burger is too small - and I don't recall that being the case at Fuddrucker's.
re: Arthur
I agree Arthur. The burger is a perfect size and is satisfying IMO, even if it doesn't fill the entire space of the bun. I simply fill in with the toppings.
re: amkirkland
Yeah, it's just way too much bread no matter which size Fudd burger. I want the predominant taste of my burger to be beef, not bread.
re: Bostonbob3
They offer a few different patty weights. I doubt they use different buns depending on the patty size. Maybe a bigger patty would ease your ratio dissatisfaction.
Cooked to order? Are they allowing that again? I used to love Fuddruckers, but I stopped going when they instituted a "no pink" policy.
Don't know if any of you are privy to the Backyard Hamburger chain ,if so it really is worth a try,I also am a hamburger buff, so when I tried the place I was pleasantly surprised, It's been a long time since I had a good burger like that for the price,I think it was 3 bucks for a 1/3 pound black angus burger, the onion rings are also very good.
We just went last night. Excellent burger, juicy, cooked to order, bread soft and fresh. I can add exactly what I want and how much I want. What is up with no salt and pepper shakers on the tabe. They had some up by the condiment bar with a sign that said please refrain from taking them to the tables. Is there a shortage?
I've found Fudds to be rather inconsistent. One of the sites in my area is nearly always good, while another is always disappointing. I haven't been there in a while, and they apparently don't have baked potatoes anymore, which I always preferred to the fries. Also, I won't be going back if they refuse to cook me a medium rare burger. It really pisses me off that so many restaurants are essentially telling us that they can't guarantee that their meat isn't contaminated. And even worse are the ones that ask you how you want your meat cooked, and give it to you well done no matter what you request.
re: Vladimir Estragon
Exactly. Any burger that isn't a diner burger should be cooked medium rare or below, or it's ruined. Most people eat whatever they're served and drown it in condiments. They can't tell the difference between good or bad.
re: streetsmart
Sure, as long as you like the taste of cold, bloody meat. I can't stand rare. I like a hot pink center with a bit of char on the outside if possible. I also think that burgers should be cooked one step up from how you like steaks. If you like medium-rare steaks your burger should be cooked medium, medium steak/medium-well burger, etc.
re: LovesFoieGras
Ok, everyone. I promise to give the place another try. It's rare for me to react so negatively to a burger, but I really disliked the one they served me.
re: Blumie
Personally, I think you were about right with your first impresson.
It's an acceptable burger I guess, but far, far from great.
re: Bostonbob3
remember that their first impression was "worst burger I've ever had in my life."
re: amkirkland
True enough. It's not nearly as horrible as say, Burger King. Still, I wouldn't go out of my way, or even stop in if I drove by a Fuddruckers.
Too many really good smaller places out there.
re: Bostonbob3
uh oh, now you've started a fight : ). I certainly wouldn't pay 5 dollars for one, but for a buck ( or two, depending on where you are) a whopper's a good sandwich.
re: amkirkland
It's a sandwich, I'll give you that much. :))
re: amkirkland
I'm with you on that one.
I have to agree with an earlier comment. I grew up with my parents sometimes taking me to Fudd's. Always liked it when the parents took me. Even though I'm older and would double think going simply b/c I'm trying to be 'healthy' I am a fan of 2am drunk food. BUT my point is...it could very well be that it was in a casino. I live in South Lake Tahoe, right by the casinos on the Nevada side and being the 'powers' that they are they can have a chain restaurant in their building but they own and operate it...not the chain, a little different than the usual franchise rules...basically they are kinda independant..and perhaps just don't care.
I recently went to a Fuddruckers in Georgia. It had lousy burgers, which was too bad since I remember going to a now-closed Fuddruckers in the SF Bay Area that had really good burgers.
It seems the sentiment is that they vary quite a bit. Personally, I've never had any medium-rare ground beef I'd consider bad (from anywhere), and I've never had a problem getting my burger cooked correctly at Fuddrucker's. I'm a little curious about what has made it so bad for people, aside from their feelings on the condiments. No one is making you put stuff on it, you know?
I don't like Fuddruckers at all. I'm no food snob but the burger I got there was no better than a fast food burger and my food was cold. I'd never go of my own volition (haven't been back since). This by the way was the location in Plano TX.
Usually love Fuddruckers but had a bad experience at Logan Airport recently. We complained with a letter to the corporate office and received a personal phone call from the owner of that franchise about a month later. He was extremely apologetic and we got our money back. I was impressed with that.
re: rcburli
Where are they at Logan? In Terminal A?
re: Blumie
Yes, past security, through the long underground passage and then up to the food court.
I think it's telling that many of the negative reports posted on this page have been at Fuddrucker branches situated in places like casino and airport food courts. It doesn't seem like there are as many complaints about the more independent, freestanding locations.
Been several times to the one in N. Andover, Ma. and always pleased. Pink too. I like med. rare. I loved the flavor, good fresh beef, kept the toppings simple and went with the 1/2 lb which was a great bun/beef ratio. Haven't been to any other fudds though, only this one.
I really like their steak sandwiches, never tried their burgers. But in college, we used to go quite often.

Aniston's husband, Tim Robbins, wanted to leave her anyway for his mistress, played by Isla Fisher
Jennifer Aniston steps way outside of her romantic-comedy comfort zone for her latest film project, "Life of Crime." As the trailer quickly shows us, there is virtually no romance for her character. Instead, she portrays a wife who's being pushed aside for her husband's mistress, played by Isla Fisher.
See video: Ashok Amritraj Grilled on 'Life of Crime,' and the Puzzle of Indie Filmmaking (Video)
Everything was going to plan, with her husband, portrayed by Tim Robbins, planning to file for divorce. But then, his wife got kidnapped and her kidnappers asked for a $1 million ransom. The thing they didn't anticipate is that he kind of doesn't want her back. In fact, they may have solved all of his problems in one quick move.
Also read: Jennifer Aniston Comedy 'Mean Moms' Release Delayed by Warner Bros.
The film, also starring Yasiin Bey (Mos Def), John Hawkes, Mark Boone Jr., and Will Forte, is based on the Elmore Leonard novel, "The Switch." Produced by Michael Siegel, Elizabeth Destro, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jordan Kessler, and Ashok Amritraj, the film will be distributed by Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions, and will be released in theaters on August 29.

It takes a while to realize that this is actually a sly, very funny comedy, one that stays admirably deadpan every time you think it's about to veer into gross-out territory.
Unlike the vast majority of rude bigscreen comedies these days, "Prison" may actually improve with repeat viewings, since its best aspects are offhand enough to be missed the first time around.
Odenkirk is an expert at the unexpected laugh. (This must be the first prison movie in which a cafeteria put-down involves the painter Lucian Freud.)
The sad thing is that Arnett, Shepard and McBride quickly establish a loose, easy camaraderie that's a real pleasure to watch. The shame is that they're working with such unrewarding material.
I'm a fan of director Bob Odenkirk, but my high hopes for this comedy were dashed by screenwriters Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, and Michael Patrick Jann, all alumi of "Reno 911"!
Prison makes its 84-minute running time feel like a five-year sentence with no chance for parole.
It's a remarkably laugh-free comedy that takes on a dark subject and skitters along its surface.
It makes "Little Man," "Scary Movie 3" and "Beerfest" look like comic masterpieces.
The real crime here is that Let's Go to Prison made a daring escape from direct-to-video stir into the relative freedom of your neighborhood multiplex. Consider this one disarmed and extremely pointless.

Mar 5, 2014Top notch comedy in my opinion. The prison setting is surprisingly fun (perhaps too fun considering it is prison) and Dax Shepard's character is an absolute blast. The way he interacts with Arnett, who is also excellent here, is shear fun. McBride also serves as a very funny and surprisingly likable character. I also like how the film never goes into some of the gross territory it could have. It's something I find very respectable There is one or two light issues I have with the plot, but overall I had a blast watching this. So if you're looking for a funny comedy and missed this one through the years, then I recommend you give it a shot. It's very funny and a lot of fun.… Full Review »
Feb 20, 2012I have watched it countless times and I still love watching it. Yes its not a perfect comedy, It definently has its flaws, but its still an enjoyable comedy and well worth the watch.… Full Review »
Jan 16, 2012While the film does feature a lot of generic jokes about prison. The cast carries this film well beyond how good it should have been and they make it an enjoyable comedy worth watching.… Full Review »

Janelle Cogley, 26, is a master of disguise. She works nine months out of the year traveling across the world--from the U.S. to El Salvador, Malaysia, Czech Republic, Portugal, Venezuela, Singapore, Australia, you name it--dressed sometimes as a pirate, other times as a sea creature or a genetically modified critter. The entire time, she is on ice skates and accompanied by such VIPs as Arielle, Peter Pan, Simba, and Mr. and Ms. Mouse.
Cogley is a performer in the ensemble theater for Disney on Ice: Mickey & Minnie's Magical Journey, the international show that is headed to Louisville's KFC Yum! Center September 14-18. The show opens in Chicago and has several U.S. stops, then tours the globe spreading the magic of Disney.
"The best part about this job is the traveling. I've seen the whole world--Asia, South America, Canada, and all over the states. We travel like a big family by busses or planes 8-9 months a year. I love seeing people's faces and bringing joy while performing. I've skated my whole life and love performing," Cogley said about her career with Disney on Ice. "Not everyone can say they get dressed up like a different character in full costume and travel the globe for a living--it's always interesting."
Skating for Disney on Ice is a family affair as Cogley's two brothers before her also worked for the show. The family grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania where ice skating is fairly common and she began ice skating at the age of 7. Cogley has received a Senior Gold in Freestyle and Moves and has worked for the show since 2004 playing such roles as Arielle's sister in The Little Mermaid, a pirate in Peter Pan, and an animonster in Lilo and Stich.
"I grew up watching Disney movies and visited Disney World, now I'm part of it. The show is great--there truly is something for everyone in the show. Boys will love the giant, real-life pirate ship in the Peter Pan section--expect a lot of excitement and crazy pirates. The girls will love--and my favorite part--is The Little Mermaid section. It has lots of beautiful costumes; bubbles come from the ceiling. That was my favorite story as a child and bringing it to life is cool," Cogley said.
Wait a minute, bubbles come from the ceiling?
"We'll call that Disney magic…" Cogley said.
Cogley practices countless hours, working hard to keep her body warm and agile, and sometimes performs up to three, 105 minute shows each day taking a couple days off in-between to recover. She says it is all worth it though.
"The show is great. Bring your family and friends--everyone will enjoy it. It is exciting and beautiful. I've seen people's faces all over the world, all different ages, light up and love the show."
Tickets are now on sale for Disney on Ice: Mickey & Minnie's Magical Journey [3]. Ages 2 and up need a ticket ranging from $12.00-50.00. This is sure to be a magical experience as the inside of the Yum! Center not only transforms itself into a giant ice-skating rink, but takes the audience from the seas in Peter Pan, to the African savannah in The Lion King, then underwater in The Little Mermaid, and finally, to Hawaii in Lilo and Stich. Now that is some Disney Magic.
To watch a preview of the show, click here [4].
