The types of fish you will catch is solely based on what type of jig you're using.  However, just like all lures, every now and again, you'll have a random strike (i.e. catching a carp on a bass jig).  If you're fishing w/ a crappie jig (small head, anywhere from 1/32 oz. to 1/8 oz.) you'll probably catch more small species like bluegill, crappie, and other types of bream.  If you're using a Bass jig for flipping (1/4 oz. to 1/2 oz.) you'll most likely be using it in heavy cover and probably catch nothing but bass (although the random strikes will still be there).  Then there's a casting bass jig which can either be jigged or you can actually swim it w/ a trailer.  Once again, you'll mostly catch bass on that, but the random strikes will still happen.  I've caught a catfish on a spinnerbait as soon as it hit the water.  I have no idea why a catfish was on the surface in 35 ft. of water, but that's fishing.\n\nSo really, the majority of what you'll catch, excluding any random strikes, will depend solely on what style of jig you're using.

The details about slider, flipper and top spinner are given below:\n\nSLIDER:\n------------ \n\nIn cricket, a slider is a type of delivery bowled by a wrist spin bowler. Whereas a topspinner is released with the thumb facing the batsman, a slider is bowled with the thumb facing 180 degrees away from the bowler. On release the wrist and ring finger work to impart backspin on the ball. A topspinner tends to dip more quickly and bounce higher than a normal delivery. The slider does the opposite: it floats to a fuller length and bounces less than the batsman might expect.\n\nThe classic slider heads with its seam aligned towards the batsman and may tend to swing in slightly. Sliders may also head towards the batsman with a scrambled seam. This has less effect on the flight and bounce but absence of leg spin may deceive the batsman. It is claimed that Shane Warne invented this type of delivery.\n\nFLIPPER\n-------------\n\nThe flipper is the name of a particular bowling delivery used in cricket, generally by a leg spin bowler. Squeezed out of the front of the hand with the thumb and first and second fingers, it keeps deceptively low after pitching and can accordingly be very difficult to play.\n\n\nThe flipper comes out underneath the hand at delivery. There must be sufficient tension in the wrist and fingers to impart a good helping of backspin or underspin. In doing so the flipper will float on towards the batsman and land on a fuller length than he anticipated, often leaving him caught on the back foot when he wrongly assumes it to be a pullable or a cuttable ball. The back spin or underspin will cause the ball to hurry on at great pace with very little bounce, though this may be harder to achieve on softer wickets. A series of normal leg spinners or topspinners, with their dropping looping flight, will have the batsman used to the ball pitching on a shorter length. The batsman may wrongly assume that the flipper will drop and loop like a normal overspinning delivery. \n\nTOP SPINNER:\n---------------------\n\nA a topspinner is a delivery where the ball comes out the top of the bowler's hand, causing it to spin in the direction of travel. The ball tends to dip in flight, but when the ball bounces, it bounces higher than normal and travels quicker than it would have done with no spin. Consequently, the batsman is more likely to hit the ball in the air, increasing the chances of him being caught out. However, due to the forward spin, a topspinner will occasionally "shoot through", with very low bounce.\n\nA topspinner is generally bowled by a leg spinner or an off spinner. Because the spin is entirely in the direction the ball is travelling in, the ball does not change direction when it bounces as a normal spin delivery would. This can trick the batsman, who may nick the ball behind the stumps, and be caught out by the wicket-keeper or one of the slip fielders. \n\nIf you would like to have more details, please check the following website:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowling_%28cricket%29

The two best pool balls available on the market are the "Aramith Super Pro" set and "Brunswick Centennial" set.  There are lower grades of Aramith and Brunswick balls, but these are the top of the line for each brand and are comparable in quality.  The standard size for pool balls is actually 2 1/4" diameter.  Check out the websites for each brand for a more detailed description.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

First, draw a picture. Let C be Chris, B be Blaire, and A be the ball at some point. Thats a right angled triangle, where side BA is how far the ball has dropped; CB = 100 feet, and CA = the fishing line.\nNow, we need to know how fast the ball is dropping. Since its distance is 16t^2, its velocity is 32t (differentiating). So side BA is changing at 32t feet per second at any time.\nWe want to know the rate at which side CA is changing. But we know that CA^2 = CB^2 + AB^2, so CA = sqrt(CB^2 + AB^2) = sqrt(100^2 + AB^2).\nNow, we need to differentiate both sides with respect to time.\nThus, d/dt(CA) = d/dt(sqrt(100^2 + AB^2)).\nWe need the chain rule for the RHS: sqrt(something) differentiates to 0.5(something)^-0.5, then we multiply by the inside differentiated. AB^2 differentiated (with respect to t) is 2*AB *d/dt (AB) = 2*AB*32t.  So the overall equation becomes:\nd/dt(CA) = 0.5(100^2 + AB^2)^-0.5 * 2 * AB * 32t.\nNow, we know t = 3 and AB = 16*3^2, so substitute that in and you'll get the answer of 78.9 feet/second.\n\nI'm likely to have made a mistake, but hopefully that gives you the idea of what to do.

The object must be less dense than the fluid to float, and more dense to sink.  If it is exactly equal density, then it can be suspended.

Well, if you don't close body contact, Twister is always fun.  There's a version of spoons that my sisters like to play.  If you know spoons (the original version) than this version should be better.\n\n  The person that doesn't get the last spoon, takes a drink of whatever beverage you choose and makes a rule like "You can't say the word spoon".  Should somebody say the word, they must take a drink.  Next person that misses the spoon makes another rule like "You have to knock on the table three times before grabbing a spoon".  Rules are made as easily as that, but it takes the whole group to make sure they can catch the person who breaks a rule.  The person that ends up not puking is the winner. \n\nAnother game that is a huge favorite in my family is the game called "Swat".  Everybody sits in a circle with one less chair than participants.  Person that doesn't have a chair stands in the middle of the circle of chairs with a rolled up newspaper.  When he goes to "swat" somebody, they must yell out the name of somebody else in the circle.  If the person doesn't react quick enough, the "swatter" swats them on the shoulders or head or lap.  The person who was swatted gives up his/her chair and takes the newspaper.  Before the first swatter sits down, he/she must give out a name.  If they sit down and don't say a name, they are immediately swatted.  A good "get-to-know" game.  Last time I played that, the person in the middle had a crutch and she was swinging that in a manner that people had to lean out of the way of her swatting.  It is normal to go through several newspapers in this game.  Because the shred.  If you want more details on this game, email me fencebender2002@yahoo.com\n\nP.S. I don't see the strap...

For a load of spoonerisms go on line and look up The Two Ronnies and find the fork handles sketch. Brilliant. I have just looked for that sketch and found it on Youtube. go see it!!

Do what the last poster said, and if you can, get some spit or grease on your middle and index fingers.  Cheating?  Not if you don't get caught, and you -can- go to your mouth off the hill in pro ball.  The object is to make the ball slip out of your hand with as little spin as possible; backspin on a fastball keeps it from dropping, and the dead spin on a forkball causes a drop.  Spit and grease are great for this :)  Actually, the best split finger would be a pitch with no spin- a 90 mph knuckleball... :)

It depends highly on your play style. If you're used to throwing house balls, which are plastic with a static core, then it'll take a lot of practice to get used to the custom balls. They have what's called a "dynamic" core; it's smaller, more dense, and helps impart spin on the ball to create the hook you see professional bowlers throwing. Choose a comfortable weight; remember that lighter balls won't have the same power through the pocket as heavy ones, but heavy balls are harder to throw and sometimes control. In the long run, choose a ball that just -feels- right to you. Trust a bowling alley's pro shop owner with the decisions he gives for you, and ask the guy a LOT of questions, because he'll know the answers.

Three sizes of balls. The largest are for Billiards, played on a table with no pockets and using only three balls. This is the old "gentleman's game." Points for number of caroms and ability to tap certain balls.\n\nPocket billiards. The middle size. 8-ball, rotation, pea-pool, nine-ball, are all forms of pocket billiards. Points generally made by sinking certain balls according to the type of game played.\n\nSnooker. The smallest size. The table is larger and the pockets are smaller than on a pocket billiards table. See the rules of American or Canadian snooker for how to play.\n\nA pool hall will choose the balls that are longest lasting and makes for the best customer experience. A family place may go for a smaller ball and larger pockets, a skill centered location will follow international rules. Home players often go for economy.\n\nFun Facts about billiards: http://www.bca-pool.com/play/funfacts.shtml

sinks deeper.  The ship is displacing the water, not the ping pong balls.  Add ANYTHING to the ship and it will sink deeper, not rise.\n\nPS: Thumbs nose at B-redsoxer.

You must show not tell. Take a bowl filled to the top with water and put it on a plate to catch overflow. The put objects in the water and compare the overflow for sinking and floating objects of the same size. If you have a scale weigh the objects and the water if not just hold them and judge weight. Then explain density.

I once heard it put like this (and I really wish I could remember where so I could give credit where credit is due...) \n\nA fork is a useful tool and as long as you use it for what it was meant for, it can last forever.  But, if you use it for a purpose other than what it was meant for, like digging ditches or driving nails, it will wear out quickly and be useless.  If you're drained by your work, maybe you're a fork that's being used to drive nails.  In other words, you need to identify what your passion and your purpose is as well as what aspects of working energize you and give you a sense of accomplishment versus what aspects drain you.  For me, I need there to be an end to my work; periodically, I need to be able to sit back and survey a finished project in order to get energized for the next one.  A job with a neverending stream of tasks and no finished product wouldn't suit me.\n\nI think there really are people who have found the thing that excites them and made a career out of it.  But it takes some soulsearching to figure out what that is.
