A friend of mine appeared on Jeopardy and was so far behind in FJ she couldn't win; the question was about the planets and she deliberately wrote down a wrong answer ("What is Uranus") just so she could make Alex Trebek say "YOUR ANUS."
BTW I watched last night and the guy did a great impression earlier in the game. I got FJ right!
I lurve Jeopardy. I was on it once. Only once. As in, I didn't win. Got second though and won a trip to Ireland (this was back in the day when second and third place got prizes instead of cash) … my mom was from Ireland and had never been back so I took her and it was magical. She saw her family for the first time in 30+ years. Four years later she had a massive stroke and was a total care patient. I will always be so grateful that I was able to do that for her while there was still time. Happy memories of Jeopardy forever. But Alex Trebek is a bit of an asshole IMO.ReplyCancel

Published September 2011,July 2011.
We're not sure if we invented it*, but here at NRICH the phrase 'Low threshold, high ceiling' (LTHC) has certainly become one of our favourites. We like to think that many of our tasks can be used in this way, and in many of the projects where we work with schools we take LTHC as the title. We thought therefore it would be a good idea to explore what LTHC means, and indicate which activities
on the site are particularly good examples.
What does LTHC mean?
Imagine a room. The way in is unproblematic - a few small steps and you're in. Once inside there are lots of possibilities for activity, many of them unproblematic too, others more challenging. In fact the only limit on your choice of activity is the space in the room, and the height to which you can rise.
Well the analogy may be a bit contrived, but that's exactly what LTHC means. A LTHC mathematical activity is one which pretty well everyone in the group can begin, and then work on at their own level of engagement, but which has lots of possibilities for the participants to do much more challenging mathematics.
Why do we like LTHC?
We like LTHC activities because they promote a positive classroom culture - one where the whole class does maths together. We know that for many learners, and particularly for those at the ends of the attainment spectrum, maths can be a lonely subject. When we visit ordinary classrooms we find, usually, two different types of organisation. The first is where the class is split into groups
(often by attainment), each of which is engaged in a different activity. Sometimes all the groups are working on different parts of the same mathematical topic, but not always. It can often be difficult to feel part of a classroom community when you have no idea what the others are doing.
The other format is where everyone does the same, usually closed, activity. This time everyone knows what they are supposed to be doing, but those learners at either end of the spectrum either finish first and are bored, or get left behind and feel excluded. LTHC tasks offer activities which are suitable for pretty well everyone in an ordinary classroom, allowing the high flyers to
explore and challenge themselves whilst the less confident can stay close to the original task and consolidate their learning. Everyone has a sense of what is going on, plenaries are much more meaningful and as they hear how others in the classroom have worked on the activity, learners often raise their game.
So another reason we like LTHC tasks is that they allow learners to show what they can do, not what they can't. As teachers it's very easy to predict how well our learners will cope with a particular piece of mathematics, and sometimes that prediction can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. When the ceiling is raised it can be surprising what heights learners can achieve.
The third reason we like LTHC tasks is that they offer many possibilities for learners to focus on more sophisticated process skills rather than more knowledge. It's often mistakenly thought that the only way to challenge learners is to offer them content at a higher level; in LTHC tasks the content often remains quite simple but the level of thinking required can become very
sophisticated. If you don't believe it, try finding a winning strategy for Strike it Out, below.
We always write our tasks with an eye on the high ceiling. Often these ideas are offered in the task itself, but in the teachers' notes you'll find even more.
Below are some of our favourites. You might like to skip through to the age range examples appropriate to your class (although you might find that the others are interesting too ...).
Primary classrooms
Strike it Out is a LTHC game. The threshold activity is number bonds to 20 and some children will stay at this level without engaging much with how you might win. Others will become very involved in conjecturing and testing possible winning strategies and there is even the possibility of some elegant
proving that the challenge of crossing off all the numbers 0-20 (and 1-20) is not possible. Others can extend the line to bigger numbers or use more advanced number systems - decimal fractions, or directed numbers for example.
Magic Vs is another favourite primary task. The threshold is counting to 15 as children try to make both sides of the V add up to the same number. Others will start to recognise patterns and begin to make generalisations about them. The high flyers will make up their own questions (what
if ...) and test their hypotheses.
Other primary LTHC tasks we like
Poly Plug Rectangles
Incey Wincey
Sort the Street
Dotty Six
Ring a Ring of Numbers
More Numbers in the Ring then
Number Differences (as a 'suite' of three)
Square It
I'm Eight
Secondary classrooms
Take a look at Arithmagons. At the threshold students use trial and improvement to arrive at a solution. As they collect more evidence, they start to look for patterns which they can then generalise. They may use an algebraic notation to arrive at, or confirm, a conjecture about
ways of solving the problem. And once the confident students have satisfied themselves that they can solve any triangle arithmagon, they can try out some different shaped ones which involve multi-step solutions.
Odds and Evens has been a favourite of ours for some time. At the threshold students work systematically to derive all possible results, recording their work in the most useful way. They use their results to justify which version of the game is fairest. Others can move on to working together to
generate lots of data which they can sort and analyse. They may use it to form a conjecture about the balls needed for a fair game, and predict which other combinations would do so too, justifying their statements. The activity moves from experimental probability to theoretical probability (and a discussion of the difference) to
sophisticated analysis.
Other secondary LTHC tasks we like
Opposite Vertices (and Vector Journeys as follow-up)
What's Possible (this links also to Plus Minus)
Number Pyramids (again with follow-ups)
Summing Consecutive Numbers
Post-16 classrooms
Post-16 classrooms are often the ones where everyone does the same A level questions, perhaps at different speeds. It's good to be able to offer tasks which highly able students find a challenging alternative to racing through the exercises, but which less confident members of the group can still access.
Painting by Numbers is a practical activity which introduces students to the idea of topology, and hence the Four Colour Theorem. At the threshold students will be using trial and improvement to clarify their ideas about what it is that makes two apparently different diagrams have the same topology. More confident students will be
able to use their new knowledge to engage with the theorem and some will even be able to understand it fully - which takes them up to university level pure mathematics.
The problem Whose Line Graph is it Anyway? has some inbuilt support and extension and is one of a new set of tasks we are developing which make links across and between the sciences and mathematics. Students have to match the statement, equation and graphical representation of various physical processes. At the threshold they will be
consolidating existing knowledge as they match sets of which they are certain. More confident students will generalise what they know and apply it to new specific situations, looking for similarities between the physical processes. For the high flyers there are links to other activities which use similar content, and coming soon will be links to
readings about the maths and science involved.
Other Post-16 LTHC tasks we like
Prime Sequences
Iffy Logic
Stats Statements
Calculus Countdown
We enjoy hearing how teachers use our tasks. Do get in touch if you have ideas about other tasks that you have used in a Low Threshold High Ceiling way.

About Thunderbirds Are Now!
Detroit freak-out artists Thunderbirds Are Now! feature Ryan Allen (vocals, guitar), Scott Allen (keys, vocals, sampler), and Mike Durgan (drums); the bass position seems in flux, but included at various points Marty Smith and Howard Chang. TAN! perfected their nervy, beat- and yelp-addled sound with 2002's Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief LP (Action Driver) and the 2003 EP Another One Hypnotized By..., released through the Flint indie Acutest. Buzz began and stuck with Thunderbirds; soon French Kiss took notice and signed the band up. Justamustache appeared in spring 2005. The album received strong notices in the press, and TAN! garnered plenty of praise for their fun/chaotic live performances. They toured steadily through spring and summer 2005, sharing stages with outfits like Enon. Early the following year, Durgan left the band and was replaced by the Javelins' Matt Rickle. The new lineup recorded Thunderbirds Are Now!'s second, poppier album, Make History, with Enon mastermind John Schmersal; the album was released that fall. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi

Great looking flip flop but no support
"I really wanted to love these flip flops - so cute. But they are too "mushy" for me and have little support. Have purchased Tevas previously and the soles were much firmer. Sadly, I had to return them."

Why did I buy these instead of the original Mush!?
""The next generation of Mush sandals naturally carries on the tradition of the Original Mush sandals. Slip into a pair of Teva women's Mush II Natural sandals and notice the difference. You will be transported to a place where the only thing that matters is comfort... Lots and lots of comfort."True. You notice the difference...and it's bad.Everything else is false. They're uncomfortable. I mistakenly bought this Mush II sandal through another retailer without looking to see if it was an original Mush. I consider myself and expert with picking out comfortable flip flops for my job (ha). I lifeguard 8 hours a day and am usually on my feet for 6 hours at work with 1 hour walking continuously. The original Mush got me through the day. I just wore these today and by hour 2, my heels were aching. They do not squish down and form to your feet, they are very narrow (I have narrow feet and they *just* fit), and they fit smaller. I wish I hadn't bought these. I hope Teva opts out of this Mush and takes the cute straps back to their original Mush. I'm only keeping these sandals because the straps are cute and I can wear them casually. BUY THE ORIGINAL MUSH!!"

Pakistan PM arrested, protests flare
The Supreme Court ordered the arrest of the prime minister in a corruption case that led thousands of protesters to storm the capital. In recent turmoil, 115 people were killed in twin bombings in two Pakistani cities in one of the country's bloodiest days in history, with 81 casualties caused by sectarian attacks in Quetta.

The college men's basketball polls will be out today, and it'll be interesting to see if Ole Miss, now 15-2 overall and 4-0 in the SEC, can ease into the Top 25.
The Rebels were 29th in voting in the AP media poll last week and 31st in the USA Today coaches poll.
Ole Miss was 16th on Sunday in the latest update of the Sagarin Ratings for USA Today and 21st in the influential Pomeroy Ratings.
There will likely be a new No. 1 today after Louisville (16-2) lost to Syracuse on Saturday. No. 2 Indiana (16-2) beat Northwestern 67-59 on Sunday.

Unless you've moved around just about every year of your life, you've probably got a few things that feel like comfy old shoes. But a house? BoomerCafé contributor Liz Kitchens thinks so, as she writes in this essay which she calls, "Our House Is a Very, Very, Very Fine House."
My husband and I have been running recently like crazy people. Aside from work and family activities, which by themselves could drive you crazy, we have been moving our office into our home. I underestimated what a transition this would be. My husband confessed to some anxiety about the transition, since for the past 40 years he has arisen each morning, dressed, and headed to an office. Now, considering Jim is 63, it is apparent that "going to the office" has been the thing he has done more of in his life than literally anything else.
So while Jim and I are undergoing this transition in our lives, and we realize that Jim has been in the same routine for decades, a thought has popped into my head— and that thought is, So is my house! I have lived in the same house for 30 years this fall. I say this with a tad bit of chagrin as I fear being regarded as the "old lady" on my street, much as I viewed a few of my neighbors that way the day I moved onto Choctaw Trail. At the time, I was pregnant with my son, who is now in his final year of a Ph.D. program and engaged to be married.
Perhaps I'm feeling a bit nostalgic, even sentimental as I ponder my home and all it has housed in the last 30 years. It has…
- Welcomed home a new baby
- Cared for my dying mother
- Welcomed my husband and his son, absorbing their belongings and all the emotions accompanying the blending of families
- Endured the joys and tribulations of teenagers transitioning into adults
- Transformed into a kind of commune during a sabbatical taken my grad student son, his fianceé, and Labradoodle
And now it is absorbing the relics of yet another transition (desks, awards, office supplies…) as we move toward working "virtually" in our new home offices. In the season of Thanksgiving, I'm realizing one of the things I feel grateful for is my home. My home, with its roof and its walls, has provided shelter and sanctuary to my family and me.
People often tell me my house looks like a folk art museum with all the color and funky art adorning its walls. But a quality I think I value the most is my home's elasticity, as it has expanded and contracted, welcoming and saying farewell to the various stages of our lives.

State officials have green-lighted Strong West's conversion from an urgent care center to a freestanding emergency department, University of Rochester Medical Center officials said Monday.
Formerly Lakeside Memorial Hospital, Strong West was acquired by UR and converted to an urgent care center in June 2013 shortly after the financially strapped Brockport hospital shut down. UR Medicine opened a same-day surgery center at the West Avenue facility in February.
Beginning with Strong West's official kickoff as an ED at 8 a.m. tomorrow, the facility will provide 24-hour care. And as an ED, Strong West will be able to treat patients brought in by ambulance and can handle more serious cases.
Patients treated for the kind of minor injuries and illnesses the facility has handled since opening as Strong West would be hit with charges and co-pays hundreds of dollars higher than they would have incurred as urgent-care patients, however.
As an ED, Strong West will send most patients requiring hospitalization to UR Medicine's Strong Memorial or Highland hospitals.
Officials anticipate that Strong West patients assigned to the freestanding Brockport ED's three observation beds would be discharged or sent to Strong or Highland in 24 hours or less, Strong and Highland chief operating officer Kathleen Parrinello previously told the Rochester Business Journal.
EDs separated from their parent hospitals are a relatively new phenomenon in New York. Strong West will be the first to open in Upstate New York, UR Medicine officials said.
The state's Department of Health took more than a year to study and debate URMC's proposal to turn Strong West into a freestanding ED before approving the conversion.
An earlier department study found that such facilities have worked well in other states but also had downsides.
The study listed higher costs and the likelihood that patients' unfamiliarity with the differences between urgent care and ED treatment would cause confusion and subject some to unnecessarily higher bills among possible downsides.
Possible upsides were availability of 24-hour care and the likelihood that increased availability of ED services would cut congestion and shorten wait times at parent hospitals.

A "draft framework" for common social studies standards is scheduled for release next month. If a report by Education Week's Catherine Gewertz is any indication, they might be so devoid of curricular content as to be functionally meaningless.
"Social studies specialists have been working with state department of education officials and others to create standards in that subject," Gewertz notes. That means expert guidance on the history and geography subject matter children should learn in each grade–the seven continents and oceans of the world in kindergarten; Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt in first grade; the U.S. Constitution in second grade–right? I mean that is the point of this exercise, isn't it? Gewertz's blog post indicates those looking for specificity might be disappointed.
"Early signs suggest that you shouldn't expect something that prescribes the specific issues, trends, or events that students should study, but rather describes the structure, tools, and habits of mind they need in order to undertake an exploration of the discipline, and offers states a frame for the content they choose."
Just asking: If the "framework" for social studies takes a pass on detailing what's worth knowing and contents itself instead with a squishy and unsatisfying description of the "structure, tools and habits of mind," how–how exactly, please–will that be anything than redundant with the CCSS ELA standards?
The ELA standards strike a hammer blow for a content-rich vision of literacy in U.S. classrooms without detailing the content. It's a step in the wrong direction if social studies specialists are unwilling to begin to detail at least some of what that content should include.
Perhaps the authors of the draft framework would like to help themselves to the Core Knowledge Sequence for Pre-K to 8th grade. It's free for your downloading. Take it. Steal it. Call it your own.

My husband and I have moved three times in the past four years. To be quite honest, no one knows what the military lifestyle has to offer unless you have lived it and understand the complexities of deployments, moving, the TRICARE system, finding new friends, a new job….the list goes on. Although it can be difficult learning how to navigate the military lifestyle, I am very proud of my soldier and his service to this great Nation.
I remember moving to Fort Campbell, Kentucky after obtaining a graduate degree in Corporate Communication. It was a culture shock. I was looking for "Corporate America" and in reality all I could see for miles were corn fields. I was lucky enough to find a career teaching in higher education where I continue to educate many veterans, spouses, and military kids as an adjunct instructor.
Two moves and two jobs later, I landed a full-time position working as a Deputy Director in the Government Relations department for the National Military Family Association, an enduring partner with the Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP). MSEP is a White House-sponsored Joining Forces initiative that is housed under the Department of Defense Spouse Education and Career Opportunities (SECO) program. This initiative seeks to ease the challenges of military life by helping spouses find and maintain rewarding careers despite frequent moves.
As a spouse who wants a rewarding career that matches my education and experience, it is an exhausting process to prepare for interviews, be offered a position, love it, leave it, and start all over again! Although I have never applied to a position through the MSEP web portal, I have learned a tremendous amount about the program. The Association works very closely with MSEP to ensure that military spouses have career opportunities no matter where they live. The MSEP initiative is truly outstanding and I hope all military spouses take advantage of the service offered.
There are many private sector employers and government organizations that are actively searching for military spouses to join their workforces. These organizations want the skills, knowledge, credentials, and attributes that military spouses have to offer. To learn more about MSEP, create a profile on MSEP's web portal which hosts over 130 Fortune 500 military-friendly partner employers who have pledged to recruit, hire, promote, and retain military spouses. As of today, there are over 180,000 positions posted that are available to military spouses of all branches.
In addition, SECO has other key components that offer career counseling, resume writing, professional mentoring, and support services for education and state licensure. A compiled list of available resources is available in the Spouse Employment section of our website.
I hope you take advantage of these resources as navigating the military lifestyle can be a challenge. I would love to hear from you and learn about your personal experience with job searching. Are you a military spouse seeking a new job? Have you applied for a position using the MSEP website? What challenges have you encountered while job searching?

5. Not Your Daughter's Jeans is releasing limited edition jeans for Breast Cancer Awareness month. The "Marilyn Make a Difference Jean" is a straight-leg classic fit that flatters all figures. They retail at $120 and will be available at Nordstrom and Not Your Daughter's Jeans.

Love the look tough boot soft look:!
"This is so cute. I love combat boots with flowers.Very comfy and just fun to wear.I wear them with skirts and pants. Fits true to size for me love the lace up feature and the side zipper too. Just diffrent and fun. Isn't that what life should be?????"

Cute & Comfortable
"These boots are very cute and different. I saw some Doc's that looked similar, but they were canvas and twice as much. I wear a 6 1/2, & these run pretty true to size, though they do run a little wide. The bump toe allows lots of room for your toes, and I would recommend wearing a heavier sock. I've worn them in rain, light snow, and slush and my feet stayed warm and dry. The tread on the sole is great in winter weather."

Play with it!
"I usually wear size 8 1/2 but this in 8. Makes my foot look super small & my friend wears a size 9 & she can rock it too. Very urban country. Match with knit leggings & sweater. Step into spring with these, khaki bermuda shorts & a pastel silk T! Cant wait to play with this look :)"

"I have been on the hunt for floral combat boots. I found one pair I absolutely loved somewhere else, but they sold out quickly and looked of cheap quality. I then saw these exact boots on another website--but for $20 more than what I paid here. I received these on the mail 6 days after I initially ordered them. I love these boots so much. I was iffy about the combat boot trend but love floral print, so these were just perfect. There is a zipper on the inside of the boot for easy access on and off. The sole is very nice and has good traction. I usally wear a size 9-10 shoe depending on the brand (Converse 9.5 fit perfectly for example). I bought these boots in size 9.5 and they fit perfectly, with just a tiny bit of room in the toe. These will go great with jeans and even dresses. I can't wait to show them off!"

MMORPG.com Correspondent Mike Balent writes this At A Glance look at the java-based game Wurm Online that apprently holds more than some readers might expect.
Recently, I decided to try out Wurm Online. I went to the site, made a free account and began my adventure. Wurm Online has both premium ($16USD every two months) and free servers. The game is Java based and is being developed by an Indy developer. The game is skill based, and is a refreshing change from the countless clones that flood today's market.The Beginning:
As I log on, I can see the corpses of some recently deceased players. It was a very dark night, and it was raining. I slowly walked over to the NPC guide, and he explained to me how harvesting and crafting worked.
Read the article here.
Jon Wood
Managing Editor
Hrm... Afraid you forgot to add the link to 'here'.
nvm, must have seen it wrong...
You know it, the best way to realize your dreams is waking up and start moving, never lose hope and always keep up.
I have played Wurm for a couple of years now. It is a very addictive game and would fully recommend it.
It is still being developed and just recently boats were added. You can build your own fleet from a rowng boat to a large sailing ship. There are 3 servers (2 home, no PVP & a wild server which anything goes). It is also possible to sail between servers. This game is a must for anyone that enjoys crafting.
Thank you for this. I will surely try it out.
Many thanks!
Very interesting, I'll have to have a look at this one also.
Thanks for the "At A Glance"
nice article but there is some mistake:
15min fire - depense of ql of fire/forge it can be even 2h on one fuel
5 slot for free - premium have same
20 skill on free serv - bah but on free you can be premium too
"Players can see up to 16KM, even on lower end computers." what you mean? :P 16km x 16km is map not view sight
and not all item are player madeable.. yet there is some like deed write merchant contract or trader , spyglass (chrismast gift) farwalker amulet (christmast..) ressurection stone and 2 other stone ;p to be bought from trader rest (1000? item?) are craftable
"PVP: There is only PvP on the wild servers, which you have to pay for. On the wild server there is open PvP, where town raids happen at least once a week." - on home server pvp exist to but it's only duel and spar , where both player have to agree for fight
Another of those f2p that really are not free to play. Where is the truth in advertising? The trial is free and that is all.
On Java, only a braindead developer would develop a game in Java, language was never intended for such. It just slows down the client, so don't run it i on marginal computers.
Nice article though.
The crafting and housing sound really cool. My main concern would be the combat, creatures, and dungeons for this game. Are they interesting or cool? Regardless I plan to give this game a try.
Heh I dont know why but when I hear the word "wurm:" I think of bad things like computer virus or the wiggly critters people use for fishing (I know different spelling but still)......
Yes although there is no PvP on the home server, we do have a little issue with some rather over enthusiastic fauna - the curse of many a new player is taking their new shovel, striding out into the brave new world and getting eaten by the first spider they find.
So, if you are into hunting, well, villages require meat and meat tends to come from animals who have an opinion about being hunted!
As for dungeons, on Wurm we dig our own.
Take your shovel and dig down till you hit rock, then take up your pick and open up a tunnel.
Some of the mines are now vast! And abandoned ones become the hiding places of cave bugs and giant scorpions.
A note on the Free to Play - On Wurm you can play for free as long as you like. However, if you want to raise your skills above the 20 cap you will need to turn to pay for premium time. This prevents you from doing some things. For instance to build a Stone house you need a masonry skill of at least 30 -so that is a problem. You can build wooden houses though.
However, if you dont want to go premium - that is fine, you can simply carry on playing as you are. No time limit.
One slightly misleading aspect on the article is about houses everywhere. Round Newtown, your starting point on Jenn-Kellon Home, there are houses everywhere, this is true. However, this is not true all over the map. I am on a large island on the far eastern Ocean and there are just a handfull of us,
And the new Mol-Rahan server (premium only) has loads of space, massive mountains and clean wonderful air -honestly, just take a deep breath! More information here: http://www.wurmonline.com/Game-News/a-new-land-is-discovered.html
Wurm is wonderful. So wonderful that I am writing the music for it - and I dont give my time lightly!
See you there, I hope!
Sound and Music for anything
nope even on my crap computer (6600, 1 gig RAM, and 3.6 GHZ) at the top of the highest mountains I can literally see a vast majority of the map/server(even on an edge), Sure it's not accurate and distorted(everything is so tiny obviously) but I'm rarely lost when I can get to/see landmarks.
It's a great all around game it's just pretty indy. It has so much stuff that AAA devs can't do just because they're AAA and is pretty much the best arguement around why the MMO genre could possiblely be pretty receptive to indy MMOs.
The world graphics are on par and above a lot of current MMOs, as for characters they're pretty much behind and behind a hell of a lot. The graphic style suits the whole settle theme very nicely(except characters) even if the old graphic engine from beta suited the theme better.
As for why I'm not playing it I played it for 2 and a half years and did most the stuff I wanted to several times. I love the game and will recomend it to just about everyone just because it is so awesome in it's specilizations.
I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.

Nice article though.
Runescape is extremely optimized and that runs on Java. I never lag in RS no matter how many people are on. Needless to say Wurm does not have any such optimizations and runs very poorly. There is major lag spikes in that game on broadband 15Mb down connection. I played it for a week and ran into so many difficulties with lag spikes, but this was about 4months ago.
To me the game was lacking in being user friendly, it certainly wont boast well to many gamers. There is the problem of finding people also in such a dense world. Sure the starter towns had people but not many.
Who let you in the VIP section?
You gotta dig that groovy song on their web page.
Wurm Is waiting! waiting for you!
Makes me want to watch Hawk The Slayer or Yor Hunter from the future.
One more thing I hated about this game was the housing. There was so many houses all over the place that you would not know if you came across a town or what till you checked the map. The system is flawed and it liters the scenery everywhere with houses. Pretty stupid system in my eye. Houses need to decay if they are not used after a set time along with fences and objects placed by people.
Who let you in the VIP section?
Nice review. This is a nice game I've played for awhile, but the warning I have is it's very addicting! You might end up logging on to cut a tree or fix a fence when you're bored. lol
I have a home near Newton I've been wanting to leave for awhile and go out and explore. But it lets you do everything, even raise and lower the ground with dirt you dig. I've built my house, built fences, raise crops, cooked food, mined metal, you name it it's there. Lots of animations are the only things that are lacking, but trees sway and grass and other stuff grows, you see a tree grow from nothing to very tall. It can actually be set to full screen so it pretty much runs just like a standard game.

The houses decay, everything decays. Takes about 2 weeks for a houses walls to start falling apart then they disapear, same with fences and everything, it also depends on the quality of your building related to it's skills and if you own a "land deed" which slows down decay that detemines how long things last.
Thanks for the tips, comments, and corrections everone; I'll make sure to remember them .

The crafting sounds interesting but they lost me in the 'first person only' part. For shooting games I tend to prefer first person view, but sometimes third person also depending on the game. For mmo, I have a steep preference for third person. I usually am pulled back to the middle or far distance, so I can get a feel for the world around me and any threats that might be sneaking up on me.
From an rpg aspect, it also feels less immersive. I like to see my character, dress him or her up and be able to see their cool gear that I looted or purchased at the auction house. When I shrug, laugh, dance, clap, etc, I like to see my characters actually perform the animations.
All games are not for everyone though. Sounds like some are enjoying the game and that is nice.
One thing one should keep in mind is that wurm is not really a traditional mmo.
It's indie, low budget. It has a lot of bugs, the ui is crappy, it is grindy to a level that even lineage fails to reach. And if you aproach it like a traditioinal mmo, you will just quit before ever making your first campfire. Wurm also has no Quests, no Storyline to follow. Additionally, in wurm you don't hunt monsters - the monsters hunt you.
But, it is entertaining in a way traditional mmos can't. Travelling through the dangerous lands and finding abandoned or prospering villages, making friends and building your own place.
It's a "game" (trust me, it isn't a game..but i'll just call it a game for now for the sake of it) where people don't ask "What level are you", but "Where do you live". You will settle down, and build something. Changing the landscape is not only a part of wurm, it is wurm. It's what it is all about. Build your village, build your towns, be creative.
I'm currently actively playing wurm on the near deserted Mr Home server and enjoying building my roads and special places, but it will never replace Eve as my favourite Mmo. When i'm bored of space, however, i like to go back to my small hut in the shadow of a huge mountain, chatting with the people also living in out little village, and building or exploring the map. My skillsheet is closed all the time of course, you don't really need it.
It's like Atitd, only with monsters.
Oh by the way.. "farming" is to be taken literarily. There's a reason why you can craft rakes and scythes..

lol . The Good: Large map you can terraform the tarrain make mine tunnels through mountains make buildings guard towers to defend your land from the monsters and outlaws, you can tame wild animals to be pets to help you in combat or to lure them into a farm area where you can horde thousands of chickens cows and pigs. On the wild server there is pee v pee you can destroy some ones house,steal all there stuff and flaten there farms and take the deed money while they are offline lol. you have to build a good village and terraform your place so its hard for raiders to break in. so if you want to be a crafter you have a none pvp server to be safe from the free for all pvp.
the bad: its very time consuming to get things done takes a noob one hour RL time to smelt ores so you can make your first few items like metalic tools. dont expect to have much fun they are other felings you may get that will keep you playing this game but fun is not one of them lol. Grind is insane but not as much as some korean mmo's i have tried. stealing you cant leave any thing around you have to watch your fire the whole time or some other noob will take your stuff out of the fire. no customizable characters or visable armor. The healing system sux you will get hurt and have to play that way for hours for some of it to heal or spend hours trying to find materials to make healing supplies.

Yoooooor... Heeee's the maaaaaaaaann.....
(sorry, I couldn't resist)
Seriously, I tried the game out a bit... It says to go talk to the NPC near where I started, but I couldn't find any such NPC that had any useful information for me . I think he quit.
This is the first time I have ever seen a game advertise the time it takes to craft as a positive thing... And it didnt say fast it said 15 mins...

This is a pretty good review, I must say. Thanks to this article I know a lot more about Wurm Online, a good which looked great to me but a bit too hardcore...
But I wish you would say a little bit more about the combat system in the game. Because in this article, you only write about the crafting/harvesting system.

pvp is the only minus of game :[ it's pretty unbalanced for now and hard for new player (as most of player on wild are pretty high skiled fighter)
but you can have pvp on home too and it's much safer like:
spar - fight as long as someone have 10-15%hp then it auto stop
duel - you die in this so not good idea ;]
"war" - this one never happened yet as I know if 2 village/ single deed holder want they can declare war each other but on home server both side need to agree then you can kill each other without penalty
The first versions that players could get a hold of didn't even have animals or combat at all. granted that was a really really really long time ago 6+ years.
I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.

I couldn't find such a list anywhere so I wanted to create a resource for people to post android devices that can run USB DAC. So far, I was able to get Nexus 7 tablet to run my Practical Devices XM6, and a cheap-o USB audio plug-and-play device. To do this, I had to:
Buy an OTG USB cable
Root and unlock the device
Install kernel
You have to restart the device with the OTG cable and the DAC hooked up to the nexus in order for sound to route through the DAC.

Skip to comments.Valuable WWII Gun at Police Buy-Back (Sturmgewehr 44)
Posted on 12/11/2012 8:38:58 AM PST by GOPsterinMA
Just like a scene out of "Antiques Roadshow," a woman in Hartford, Conn., turned in an old rifle to her local police station's gun buy-back, only to discover the gun was worth anywhere from $20,000 to $25,000. The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, inherited the gun from her father who had brought it home with him from Europe as a memento from World War II.
The two officers conducting the gun buy-back, who are resident gun experts for the Hartford Police Department, informed the owner she was in possession of a Nazi Assault Rifle, the first of its kind, that dates back to 1944.
The gun is called a Sturmgewehr 44, literally meaning "storm rifle," and is the first "modern assault rifle ever made, eventually replaced by the AK 47 in 1947 by Russia, who copied the German design of the Sturmgewehr 44," Officer Lewis Crabtree, one of the two officers who discovered the gun, told ABC News.
"It's like finding the Babe Ruth of baseball cards," said Officer John Cavanna. "The rarity, it was made for such a very short period."
(Excerpt) Read more at gma.yahoo.com ...
I'm surprised the woman didn't get cuffed for not having the proper permits.
She needs to send that gun Red Jacket and get it fixed up.
She needs to send that gun Red Jacket and get it fixed up.
Banglist (((ping)))!
I've held a couple of these in my day. Sturdy platform and functionally similar to an AK, it doesn't surprise me that any little old lady would think it "dangerous" if they've been conditioned to see "assault rifles" as such.
If it was a full-auto, depending on its pedigree and condition, it would fetch more than $25,000 without a problem.
Uh, shouldn't she have been arrested and charged with violation of the NFA? Maybe the batfe needs to be called in. Do the cops get an exemption from the NFA automatically just because they are cops? Must fall under a cover since they were doing it on behalf of the department. Inoperable at the time it was turned in but I'll bet it wouldn't take much for a good armorer to get her up and running. Like Red Jacket.
On the other hand. Nice piece for the avid collector.
Share the lead.
The cops in the video seem to be on the up-and-up. Also, if the owner took it back, you can bet BATF would be waiting to bust her. The PD will probably hand it off directly to a museum for her. In this case, they actually seem to be acting in this woman's best interest.
I was wondering since its a machine gun in no working condition if she would now need a tax stamp to own it.
That's part of the training: "How to pretend you aren't an A-hole in front of cameras." They are very good at adopting a "WTF" expression when you try to recover something. "Gun? What gun? Nobody here signed that reciept."
But I do believe you're correct that if she tried to take it home, the BATFE would have busted her for sure.
I know an ATF agent. He was actually sickened the day he was required by law to confiscate a similar item form a citizen. His choice was to destroy it or ensconce in in the ATF private museum. Selling to a dealer or giving it to the National Firearms museum was not an option.
WAY cooler than that Jap Arisaka on yesterday's thread.
It's amazing what one comes across. In 1982 I purchased an old used Japanese made pellet gun for $3. I never considered it to be of any value at at all until I ran across an identical one on ebay several weeks ago. I also didn't know that it was one of the few CO2 pellet rifles made with an adjustment for chamber pressure, a feature I didn't even know it had until I checked further. I now find that it's worth about $700.
If the rifle wasn't registered during one of the amnesty periods the ATF will confiscate it from a citizen. I don't know the legality of the cops putting it in their "collection."
Yeah, antigun buffoon, if you hit the wrong 'level' (aka, the trigger), you can discharge a 'fatal' round.
Gaw damned antigun trash f***holes.
At least, these cops were honest and let the woman keep it.
A claim strongly disputed by Mikhail Kalashnikov.
Bleh, thats an AK-47!
Is there such a thing as drool ping?
That Stg44 cannot be owned legally, and must be melted down immediately.
Haven't you people seen the sacred sculpture in front of the United Nations? Bow down to the twisted gun!
This country is so screwed, that we have laws requiring museum-quality relics to be melted down.
I would love to have one.
Back in the early 1980s, a friend of mine found a nice .32 Colt pistol at a garage sale.
When he asked the woman what she wanted for it, she said that her husband paid $15 dollars for it back in the 1930s and she wanted what he paid for it, $15.00.
A local widow woman sold her husband's guns to the local police when he died. They got bargans on M1-Garands and M1 carbines, and his other military rifles from WWII.
The locals were very upset that the cops took advantage of her ignorance to fleece her of the rifles.
The badge is a dividing line. Some thugs stand behind it, others in front of it.
Officer Crabtree is an honorable, honest man with whom I would prefer to deal if I have to deal with the police.
He is technically incorrect. While the SG44 and AK-47 are superficially similar (to my wife's untrained eye, they are also indistinguishable from a flattop AR), their operating systems, internal architecture and other mechanical characteristics differ greatly.
Unfortunately, it was once a functioning machine gun, so in BATFE's eyes it must either have been registered before the '86 cut-off date - or be sliced, diced and julienned.
A registration amnesty is long, long overdue for these stashed WWII firearms. But of course, that would deprive BATFE of its favorite door-busting, kitten-stomping entertainment.
I wanna shoot me some nazzys!
Very good, Lt. Raine! :)
I'm having SOA withdrawal...
Me too.
"Holidays", terrible time for TV watching unless you like the Peanuts.
"Justified" is back in January, ever watch that one?
Sadly, it ended up getting melted down despite attempts by several museums to acquire it for their collections.

very pleased!
"When I first wore these boots, I was uncertain if I would like them or not because they were a little tight around the ankle. Yet, after a couple more wears, they broke in nicely and are very comfy. They are slightly slippery when wet, but not terrible. I am very pleased with my purchase!"

Cute, but I need a smaller size
"These shoes are really cute, but they're no longer available in the size I need. I usually wear an 8, but the 8's I ordered turned out to be too long and my feet slid around in them. Unfortunately, there weren't any 7's or 7.5's in stock, so I'll have to return these rather than exchanging them for a smaller size. If you're in between sizes, I'd recommend going with the smaller one."

Cute & comfortable!
"The neutral color goes with everything, the heel/platform ratio makes this very comfortable & the toe area is actually wider than I expected. If your foot is narrow, it's gonna be WAY too lose, but mine is fairly average & this is fine. No toe rubbing or blisters here!"

Almost a 100% in love
"I'm only almost in love because the strap isn't great. It's not set, it's just through a loop so it moves around and it's VERY short. I don't have big or puffy ankles but I only have a little strap letf over after pulling these straps tight."

Great linen sandal
"I have never worn platforms because of the height, but these sandals are great. I wore them all day and they were super comfy. The only problems I had were that I have small ankles and I had to put extra holes in the ankle strap and they do run wide and I have wide feet. Overall a great sandal."

text: October 23, 2013 STEUBENVILLE, OH—Dr. Mark Regnerus, a sociology professor at the University of Texas at Austin and a researcher at the Population Research Center, will speak at Franciscan University of Steubenville on the impact of pre-marital sex, same-sex parenting, and other behaviors upon children, families, and society at large.Regnerus' talk, "What Contemporary Sexual Behavior Patterns Reveal About the Mating Market and Catholic Thought," will take place on Thursday, November 7, at 7:30 p.m. in the Tony and Nina Gentile Gallery, J.C. Williams Center.Dr. Daniel Kuebler, Franciscan University biology professor, said that Regnerus' talk will offer a social scientific perspective on the relationships between sexual behavior, modern sexual morality, and family structure. "He is someone who has been at the forefront of trying to systematically look at the effects of sexual morality on society, people, and relationships," said Kuebler.Regnerus' research specializes in sexual behavior, family, and religious behavior. He has written widely on the effect of religion on teen sexual decision-making and the low value that young adults place on sexual morality. His new research on the adult children of parents who have same-sex relationships was published in the July 2012 issue of Social Science Research and has garnered international attention. Regnerus is the author of Premarital Sex in America and Forbidden Fruit: Sex and Religion in the Lives of American Teenagers.Franciscan University psychology professor Dr. Stephen Sammut will give a response to Regnerus' talk. A question-and-answer period will follow.The talk is sponsored by the Academic Affairs Department and the Science and Faith Lecture Series, a joint effort of the biology, philosophy, and theology departments, dedicated to promoting an ongoing dialogue among the three disciplines. It is free and open to the public.Regnerus' talk is part of the fall 2013 Distinguished Speakers Series at Franciscan University. Through the Distinguished Speakers Series, Franciscan University of Steubenville hosts leaders who integrate their faith and public life and thereby inspire the next generation to be a transforming presence in the Church and society.

At this time of year I like to bring some type of goody almost wherever I go. I have a few recipes my friends and family love to receive. Last Christmas, I wrapped up small packages of cinnamon toasted pecans and handed those out to everyone at our family Christmas get together. These are such a tasty hit, whenever I try to keep them around the house they have a magical quality of disappearing.
I'll bet many of you have recipes just like that one, where everyone loves to be on the receiving end. Varied are the favorite dishes that we all encounter in the Holiday events. These Holidays are about many things but one common thread is the sharing of good food. It's sort of the mortar that bonds us all regardless of our religion, employment, or family status.
I feel it is my duty to you readers to make sure I taste every dish present at whatever function I find myself. My taste buds work overtime sampling all the yummy treats, it's a tough job but I stick to it for you, my readers. At a recent ACF Holiday party there was a cookie competition with three categories, Professional, Student and Family. I had to taste each of the entrants and make my selections. Can you believe it, I even had to try some of them more than once! Talk about tough.
Here's a recipe that belies the term simple. With only four ingredients it's a joy to make even for those who don't care to cook. These can be made several days ahead of time and handed out as you see fit. I know everyone will enjoy them.
Chocolate Haystacks
Yield about three dozen
1/2 cup Toasted sweetened coconut flakes14 oz semisweet chocolate chips, such as Nestles2 oz bittersweet chocolate chips, such as Ghirardelli1 1/2 cup corn flakes
To toast coconut preheat oven to 350. Spread out coconut onto a baking sheet and bake for 4 to 5 minutes, remove from oven and toss well. Repeat this process every 3 to 4 minutes until coconut is properly toasted, immediately transfer to a plate to cool.
Prepare a couple of baking sheets with parchment. Melt both chocolates in a double boiler, remove from heat and gently stir in the corn flakes and coconut. Using a spoon drop haystacks onto your prepared pans. When cool they will be firm.
Optional: Add a few mini marshmallows for an added kick. Or while still wet sprinkle a dash of red and green colored sugar for that Holiday cheer.
