7. Croquet Glossary A striker becomes dead on a ball as soon as it hits it and receives a croquet shot and a continuation shot. If the strikers ball is dead on another ball and http://laplaza.org/~teddis/glossary.html

Glossary Alive: In American play, a ball which has cleared a wicket but has not roqueted another ball is alive on that ball. A striker becomes dead on a ball as soon as it hits it and receives a croquet shot and a continuation shot. If the strikers ball is dead on another ball and roquets that ball before deadness is cleared, the balls are replaced to their positions before the shot was made and the turn ends. In the British game, all balls are alive at the start of each players turn. All-Around Break: Running all the wickets in one turn. Angle of Divergence: Angle at which balls part when a croquet shot is made. (see: Newtonian Physics). Angle of Split: On a croquet shot, the angle between two lines, along which the two balls travel. see: Geometry). Apple: The name of the company that manufactured the machine the author used to write this book. Also, the object that fell on Newtons head that began his thinking on what has become known as Newtonian physics. An understanding of Newtonian physics is extremely helpful in understanding the movement of the balls as they are played during the game. Aunt Emma: A conservative player who wastes talent through dull and uninspired play. This player simply tries to advance from one wicket to the next.

Check it out here: Virtual World Gets Another Life It includes an image of the new "Business Avatars" which have not been release yet, but look wonderful. Labels: alan kay business David A. Smith Qwaq ... wall street journal posted by David A. Smith at 10:10 AM 0 Comments Tuesday, March 25, 2008 Interoperability I have been spending a large amount of time talking to people about interoperability in virtual worlds. One problem is defining what it means - and why it is important. From what I can tell, the main thing people are looking for is a way to easily traverse from one virtual world to another. It would be great to be able to jump through a portal from Second Life into Qwaq and back. We already support URLs as links between Qwaq spaces. Adding a Second Life island would be a bit tricky, but I think it could be done. There is also mention of having one's avatar go along for the ride, but it turns out that this is not that important, and may not even be a good idea. One way to think about it is people already have multiple identities online. I have a work email address, personal email, and a number of random older email addresses that I still get mail from. I don't like mixing them, and I have different expectations for the kind of mail I get from them, and people have different expectations from me depending on whether it is a work or personal email. That doesn't even begin to address the difference in security requirements.

Sports History Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Croquet Table of Contents History Croquet in America Forms of the Sport Other Resources History Although croquet is a rather young sport, its ancestry can be traced at least to the 14th century, and there are a couple of stories about how it originated. One is that lawn bowlers developed an indoor form of their sport to be played during the winter, adding hoops and mallets to make the game more challenging on the much smaller playing area. This indoor version of lawn bowling then moved back outdoors and become known in France as paille-maille ("ball-mallet"). The other is that paille-maille was originally a form of outdoor billiards. However, judging by what scanty documentation there is, billiards seems to have come along about a century later. It's quite possible that the movement went the other waythat paille-maille moved indoors and become billiards. In any event, the sport existed for several centuries without becoming particularly popular. Scottish golfers seem to have taken it up, possibly as a kind of practice, during the 16th century and, when James VI of Scotland became James I of England in 1604, he brought paille-maille equipment as well as golf clubs to his new court. Played during the 17th century by Charles II and his courtiers at St. James's Park in London, the name of the game was anglicized to Pall Mall, which also became the name of a nearby street. "Mall" then turned into a generic word for any street used for public strolls. And now, of course, it usually refers to an enclosed area where people stroll from store to store.

17. Rules For Croquet croquet is an easy game to play. At the same time it provides a genteel and competitive pastime. http://www.toycrossing.com/croquet/

Index History Setup Object ... Variations The Rules of Croquet Croquet has a reputation for being a genteel game for garden parties and picnics. Yet it can be a fiercely competitive game of skill and strategy for teams or individuals. Played on varying terrain and from two to six players it can provide fun and excitement at formal social occasions or to pleasantly while-away and afternoon. This site will take you through a comprehensive review of the rules and impart a bit of trivia on the game itself. To navigate this site, click on a specific topic in the contents below or click on the next page links at the bottom of each page to go through the site in the manner in which it was intended: The history of croquet has ancient roots. The setup for croquet is fairly simple, it requires only an open field and a croquet set comprised of two stakes, nine wickets, along with a couple of mallets and balls. The object of the game is to pass a ball through all the wickets. The basic rules of croquet are simple, but there are certain exceptions and caveats that are not well understood. There are many variations to the rules for croquet. We give you the flavor of a few.

Home History of Croquet The Game Rules ... Contact Us The Houston Croquet Association is a member club of the United States Croquet Association and plays on the croquet lawns in Memorial Park. We play the 6-wicket version of the game which differs from the familiar 9-wicket backyard game that most people are familiar with. It is sometimes referred to as "the sport of croquet" or competitive croquet. As a sport, croquet is played competitively around the world in various forms. There are American rules, Association Laws and Golf croquet, each with it's own merits and nuances. The HCA participates in all forms of the game. Whether you want to play competitively or just for fun, croquet has something to offer for everyone. Free introductory lessons are available and group events can be arranged. We usually play on Saturdays and Sundays and interested players are always welcome to stop by. The lawns are lighted for evening play.
