What makes an mmorpg GREAT is when both the story and gameplay are good. You seem to think if the story is good that the gameplay is not or cannot be; that's a fallacy.

Freeloading mooches are the scourge of the gaming community.
I have to say I agree with the OP pretty much. With one exception. EQ1 did have a story and some background lore. Its just it was given in small doses here and there. It wasnt thrown in your face as your guide rails thru the game world. Instead you made your own way.
In most MMOs today we have these things people call quests (BS they are chores) These Chores errm quests lead us thru the game world with very fascinating (boring) Stories of what is going on in the world. OK OK.. some of the quests can actually be interesting even entertaining to read. However lets face it most of them are not. I dont know many people whom I have gamed with thru the years that will take the time to read the majority of the chore dialogue that is written. 98% of the time everyone clicks the quests looks at the objective, finds the waypoint on the map and takes off for their xp.
As for the chart above. We all know that WOW was a phenomena, that brought millions into the MMORPG game genre. Alot of that had to do with the fact Warcraft already had a huge following of fans with a very well known IP. The casual feeling of the early game was enough to get people addicted to do the high end (vanilla) harder stuff such as raids. Us old schoolers, UOers and EQ1ers we had the same feeling back when we started. THe only difference is the online world was much smaller. The games IPs were not as well known. ETC ETC.. Mass advertising campaigns were not used.
Want to get technical Look at games like Farmville and how big that exploded for a time. As we move further into the digital information age. Your going to see more games like WOW come along, or farmville. Look at the hype around GW2 right now. Over a million Beta applications in 48 hours not even WOW had that.
One last note. I have not played TOR however I do have friends that have told me that the stories are actually very good there, some of them are still playing it and enjoying it greatly. I decided to stick with EQ2 myself, and hold off to try GW2

While the first MMOs like M59, The realm and UO never focused on the story and background that really doesn't mean all MMOs must be like that.
I personally think that Biowares story in TOR isn't great in a MMO but that does not mean you can't add a good background and tell a good story in a game, just that MMOs needs to do it in a different way than single player games.
Pen and paper RPGs can be about story or not, both works fine there and MMOs are basically the same thing on a computer so I believe the same is true for it. That noone yet really made a mechanic that works just right for the genre does not mean it can't be done.
As usual is the problem that most devs are too lazy to try something new and just steal all their mechanics from someone else.

In games like EQ there was story. Lore initiated and developed the initial story, but the overall story was only revealed through gameplay. Dungeons had to be explored fully to reveal their mysteries, same with raids. Each expansion had a story to tell, but only in actually playing through the expansion did the story come to life.

Basically hes saying that the core of MMO's (Yes even from developers standpoints) have lost their way. We dont need story to be a main focus because the whole point of an MMO is supposed to be in a massive environment making up your own story.
Also with the comment in red, when was the last Mainstream MMO after Post-BC WoW that DIDNT focus on story????
Are you beginning to understand now? People get all up in arms and like to go "OOO stop forcing your ideas on devs, stop telling them what to do, you have no proof that your way is right or better so im going to make a snide remark about you."
But what you do have is history, and you can look back and easily say that MMO's were founded on the core idea of living in someone elses universe and making up your story. Unfortunately people like to bat around that with poor rebuttles like yours.

Sorry, i been playing mmos since 1996, the lore is not much better now if at all. They still have bad reasons to ask us to kill another 10 rats, some games during the years have had btter or worse lore but it have not gone from bad to good, more up and down all the time.

"It is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver". - Niccolo Machiavelli
in my opinion in mmorpgs a good gameplay with no story is as bad as a good story with no gameplay. If i have to choose one i choose the 2 combined or nothing at all.... find something else.
If mmorpgs had nothing to do with story then mind as well remove the rpg from the name. Its not coincidence that the best stories in game come from rpgs (see all the good classic rpgs), so in an mmorpg the story should be as important and strong as the gameplay.

The best Dungeon Masters in a pen and paper campaign are the ones that can guide you along in a story while not leading you along as if a rope is tied to you, all the while giving you a large amount of choices on how you want to tackle your objectives.
As far as MMORPG's. Those that string you along from quest to quest (on Rails) are the worst type. Most people don't even read the quests, they treat them as chores that are required to advance. The ones that hide the story in the background and encourage you to find out more about the story without making it a quest objective are the ones that suceed.
EQ had some pretty shallow lore when it was released, but it didn't string you along a path that you didn't want to go on & let you learn the story at your own pace (if you wanted to that is)

Most of those F2P grinders don't really take well to story. Darkfall and Mortal don't either. EVE has a few arcs that expand lore but it isn't really story-based beyond what the players create. I'm guessing that you can inherit Perpetuum from that idea, too.
There's plenty of choice, and if your dream game isn't around, you could wait or design your own fun.
Please look over the graphs again and consider this question: 'Did Khaeros use these graphs as a vanity reply?'
Here's a bonus just for you: I create story in WoW. And it's all with a social community that we have grown through the years. Crazy, huh?

I'll bite, with the rise in the popularity of the MMORPG genre, came the increased number of "lesser" gamers. These "lesser" gamers are the need it now types (most of society), composed of but not including the entirety of or limited to kids, bandwagoners (hype followers), people with very little gaming experience, and the generally foolish: examples trolls and fanboys :P
The smaller crowd of let us say pen and paper gamers, or the community who could make their own story and enjoyment a reality, became a minority.
With the influx of the new, the creators were like "oh, now we can make money easily since this new lot is so easy to scam" or "now we must serve this new lot, since its the majority and we won't make money otherwise". Sparkly shiny things released weekly, guided pathways to follow to get the sparkly shiny things, and building a nice big sparkly shining themepark suits these folks well. Most everything else can be dumbed down.
Huge change in community = huge change in gameplay.
Oh ya, since I didn't outright state it. Story = the most recent thing to jump onto and promote in your game ;)

I love a good story. Leading a character that I created thru that story in a persistant world is why I play MMORPG's. Sure, gameplay has to be there as well, but without a good story (LotRO, SWTOR) I get bored easily. A good MMORPG has both imo.

Just because the game has a dungeon finder that allows you to random to max doesn't mean you have to use it to get enjoyment. You just have to seek out your own fun within the game, with people that you want to bring along.

Yes, and thats great for you that you can make a roleplaying community in WoW, and your right you can roleplay in any game on the market right now simply by using your imagination!
You know what else you can imagine?
The fear when you go into a dungeon and your roleplaying.
even the joy you and your RP group feels from slaying a big monster
You know why? Because MMO's that are story drive are also extremely easy, because story also means catering to single player gamers and making the game linear so you dont ever get too lost or too confused.
Thats the difference right there my friend, in EQ you had to work to get into the pits of a dungeon, you were actually scared when you faced that final boss because you could die, and you wouldnt just get right back up or walk back in 5 minutes.
Your character progressed IN THE GAME!
Thats the point no one is talking about, in all these games the gameplay mechanics worked in a way that you coule roleplay during gameplay and have it be meaningful. Im sure your WoW RP sessions are great for you, a bunch of people standing in a room and doing emotes occasionally, and if thats the kinda RP you Like, stick with WoW man.
But guess what, theres alot of us out there who want gameplay and RP to be back to old school MMO's and actually be in tandem with each other.
In other words, Im going to continue saying what im saying, and I hope others do too, because eventually a company will make a good MMO again, and yes I mean that, not a single GOOD or even decent MMO has come out Post WoW.
O and the comment "make your own" is laughable, do you think everyone that has an opinion on something has the capabilites to make a full fledged MMO??? Yes, your right, theoretically we all could go make an MMO, but instead I think well just sit back and complain until someone hears what were saying, if anything your posts are just muffling what is an actualy worth while cause. And no its not because I think MMO's Suck now, its cause alot of people do, and I think a decent minority is worth hearing out rather than snuffing because they arent going with the norm.

True, but I was looking at a bigger picture. Gameplay in this sense = what the developers created for you to play. I'm fairly certain there has been a change in what is offered in any given more recent game because of the large audience appeal.
You can still make any game better or worse by choosing who you'll play with, but overall you're still most likely being pushed to play a certain way by the game's feature, which will reflect the developers creating a game for a larger mass than a small number of people like in UO.

MMORPGs are about whatever the people who make them want them to be about. It can be about combat or stories or boobies. All are equally valid approaches.
"Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause" ~Victor Hugo
Yes but what you are describing is the lore of the game. Story is more personal. For example, in SWG they said "here is whats happening in this galaxy right now. Good guys here, bad guys there, neutral guys ober there, this planet has these guys, that planet has this faction.." and so on. Then they say, "no go out there and make your story."
In new mmos its more like, "heres our world and heres your character. This is what your character does in this world. Here is who you'll meet, and how youre going to engage in this conflict."
You may get a couple superficial choices like TOR's wheel or GW2's prerequisite questionnaire. But it boils down to the devs telling your story in their world. It can be fun and entertaining to see how a pre written story like that unfolds, but my preferred mmo story is the one where I make a character in their world and tell my story in it.

Ag breakfast expected to be sellout again
Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner James Comer will be the featured speaker at the Henderson Chamber of Commerce's annual Agriculture Appreciation Breakfast next month.
The event will begin at 7:15 a.m. on Thursday, March 8, at the Henderson Fine Arts Center.
The cost of the breakfast will be 85 cents, which symbolizes farmers' profit on a typical plate of breakfast foods. Golden Corral will cater the event.
Comer's presentation is among the highlights of a program that will include the announcement of the winners of the chamber's Agriculturalist of the Year and Lifetime Achievement in Agriculture awards.
The breakfast typically draws one of the largest crowds of the year for chamber events, and this year is once again expected to fill the stage at McCormick Hall.
Because of the popularity of the event, those who come without a reservation cannot be guaranteed breakfast or a seat at a table. Theater seating will be available to those without a reservation.
For reservations, contact the chamber at email@example.com or 826-9531.
Comer was elected in November and took office Jan. 2. The Tompkinsville native is the founder and owner of James Comer Jr. Farms, a 950-acre beef cattle, timber and hay farming operation in Monroe County. He also co-owns Comer Land & Cattle Co., a family farming operation.
Comer is a Western Kentucky University graduate with a degree in agriculture. While at WKU, he received the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Scholarship and was the Kentucky Future Farmers of America state president in 1990-1991.
Elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives in 2000 at just 27 years old, Comer hit the ground running, passing a record of five bills into law — the most for a freshman member of the Republican caucus in Frankfort.
Nomination forms for the Agriculturalist of the Year and Lifetime Achievement in Agriculture awards are available at the chamber office, downtown branches of local banks, US Bank on Barret Boulevard, Parrish Shop & Sales, Southern States, Crop Production Services, the Henderson County Extension Office and the chamber's website, www.hendersonky.com.
The nomination deadline is Feb. 29. Nominations should be returned to the Chamber office, 230 Second St., Suite 320 in downtown Henderson or faxed to 827-4461.

I've been lurking here for a few months and finally joined a couple of weeks ago. I've just started building models again after a looonnnnggggg break (about 15 years) and I'm loving it!
I've got a '62 Catalina and a '68 Mustang half finished, and I saw a General Lee on ebay a few weeks ago and bid on it before noticing in the listing that the chrome was missing! I kept an eye out and a few weeks later there was a 'Fast and Furious' Charger, also on ebay, which looked nasty but had all the chrome parts that I'd need to finish it off (it had a '69 grille/bumper).
It turned up last week and was even nastier that I thought! You can see how terrible the paint is in the closeup pics. On the plus side, it looks as though the builder also had a General Lee and had included all the chrome parts and more (how lucky was that?)
I thought it'd be a shame to bin the gluebomb Charger so I'm having a go at a junker.
So far I've separated the engine and box, separated the trunk lid and drivers door and built a new trunk lid. I've also shaved the passenger door handle and drilled holes where they would be if the handle was missing, and got rid of some pronounced molding lines around the rear quarter window.
The body's just gone into a tub of brake fluid so we'll see how it comes out.
More to follow soon hopefully!

The Food and Drug Administration has announced a voluntary recall of some California stone fruits that may have been exposed to the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. The packing company Wawona Packing Co. informed retailers including Costco, Trader Joe's, and Walmart to yank peaches, nectarines, plums, and pluots packed between June 1 and July 12.
"The recalled products were shipped directly to retailers and wholesalers who resell the products," the FDA said in a statement. "Because we do not know the locations of the companies that purchased the products from our direct customers, the company is issuing a nationwide recall."
The company said it found a Listeria contamination at one of its packing plants, but has since eradicated the problem. A spokesperson added that they have received no reports of illness related to the effected fruits.
The FDA posted photos of the recalled products, so if you're about to bite into a juicy peach, you may want to check this out first. Jon Terbush
Sarah Palin Channel, we hardly knew ye.
Starting August 1, you'll no longer have to shell out $9.95 a month for the musings of the former Alaskan governor and vice president nominee. Her subscription only online channel is shutting down, just a year after it launched last summer. Palin promised to discuss "important issues facing the nation" and delivered videos titled "Gun Free Doesn't Equal Crime Free" and "Moose Meat: It's What's for Dinner!"
The channel made its announcement on July 4, Variety reports, and said all of Palin's content will now be available for free on her political action committee site, SarahPac.com, as well as her Facebook page. The move ends her partnership with Tapp, an online video startup. For super fans who forked over $99.95 for a whole year of the Sarah Palin Channel, Tapp will offer refunds of remaining subscriptions, or let the user apply it to another one of its channels — Alive with Joan Lunden (focusing on breast cancer patients and survivors), New Life TV (a Christian relationship show), and K-Love TV (a Christian music channel).

Paula Deen says she fired the social media manager who tweeted a photo from her account Tuesday showing her son Bobby in a Ricky Ricardo costume with brownface.

Deen also appears in the shot, dressed as Lucille Ball. The photo — which was quickly deleted — was captioned, "Lucyyyyyyy! You got a lot of esplainin' to do! #TransformationTuesday." In a statement to People, Deen's representatives said, "This photograph is from a Halloween episode of Paula's Best Dishes that aired in 2011. Paula immediately had this picture taken down as soon as she saw the post and apologizes to all who were offended. As such, Paula Deen Ventures has terminated their relationship with this Social Media Manager."
The celebrity chef came under fire in 2013 when it came out that she admitted in a deposition to using the "n-word." In the aftermath, Deen lost several sponsors and was dropped by the Food Network. Catherine Garcia
On the 10th anniversary of the London bombings, services were held across the UK to remember the 52 people who died and more than 700 people injured when four suicide bombers attacked three trains and a bus.
At St. Paul's Cathedral, a minute of silence was observed, and the families of victims, survivors, and first responders gathered at Hyde Park for a ceremony with songs and personal readings, the BBC reports. Flowers were placed at the sites of the four explosions, and commuters were urged to take part in the "walk together" movement, finishing their bus or subway commute one stop early and traveling the rest of the way on foot. Paul Dadge, who stopped to help survivors after the blast at the Edgware Road station, spoke at Hyde Park, and said his country will never surrender to terrorism: "That's not the spirit we saw on 7 July. That's not the spirit we've ever seen. That's not the spirit we will ever see." Catherine Garcia
A man who ran for Congress in Tennessee last year was charged Tuesday with plotting to burn down a mosque and other buildings in a New York community with a large Muslim population.

Robert R. Doggart, 63, of Sequatchie County, was indicted by a federal grand jury, accused of the civil rights violation of soliciting others to destroy religious property. Court documents say he wrote on Facebook that his targets — a mosque, school, and cafeteria in a hamlet near Hancock, New York called Islamberg — "must be utterly destroyed in order to get the attention of the American people." Doggart spoke with a confidential source and others on a cell phone being tapped by the FBI, court documents said, and he was heard saying he wanted to firebomb the different buildings. The plot was never carried out.
Doggart was arrested in mid-April, and said he would plead guilty, but a judge rejected the proposed plea as legally insufficient, NBC News reports. During the 2014 Congressional race, Doggart ran as an independent against the incumbent, Republican Scott DesJarlais, and received six percent of the vote. Catherine Garcia
Despite an Oklahoma Supreme Court ruling last week saying a 10 Commandments monument violates the state Constitution, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin (R) said it will remain on Capitol grounds.

— NewsOK (@NewsOK) July 8, 2015
Fallin said she made her decision after Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt asked the court to reconsider its 7-2 decision and lawmakers filed legislation to have citizens vote on whether to remove Article II, Section 5 of the constitution, which reads "No public money or property shall ever be appropriated, applied, donated, or used, directly or indirectly, for the use, benefit, or support of any sect, church, denomination, or system of religion, or for the use, benefit, or support of any priest, preacher, minister, or other religious teacher or dignitary, or sectarian institution as such."
The court said the statue, which was privately funded by Rep. Mike Ritze (R-Broken Arrow), was obviously religious in nature and an integral part of Christian and Jewish faiths, Tulsa World reports. Citing Pruitt's request and the potential vote, Fallin said, "Oklahoma is a state where we respect the rule of law, and we will not ignore the state courts or their decisions. However, we are also a state with three co-equal branches of government."
The ACLU of Oklahoma filed the challenge on behalf of three plaintiffs, and Fallin's decision doesn't sit well with executive director Ryan Kiesel. "The Supreme Court did not give any leeway in their opinion," he told Tulsa World. "The bipartisan, seven-member majority did not say remove the monument except if you look into your crystal ball and think the law might allow it at some point in the future and go ahead and keep it. The court said remove the monument." Catherine Garcia
The eurozone is giving Greece until Thursday to come up with new proposals to secure a deal with its creditors.
This is the "most critical moment in the history of the eurozone," European Council President Donald Tusk said. "The final deadline ends this week." During an emergency summit Tuesday in Brussels, it was expected that new Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos would bring written proposals, but instead only supplied an oral update on Greece's financial situation. The problem goes beyond Greece, French President Francois Hollande said, adding, "It's the future of the European Union."
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said he wants a "socially just and economically viable agreement," and suggested on Tuesday night he will agree to several demands from creditors, including some that he rejected in the past. In return, he wants a third bailout from the eurozone, an agreement on restructuring Greece's public debt, and measures to encourage economic growth, the BBC reports. Catherine Garcia
Defense Secretary Ash Carter told Congress Tuesday that the United States has only trained roughly 60 Syrian opposition fighters to take on the Islamic State.
The program launched in Jordan and Turkey this May, with the goal of training 5,400 fighters a year, Reuters reports. Some rebel leaders say that in order to be successful, the trainees have to target Syrian government forces, but they are off-limits for U.S. offensive operations.
Carter said he thinks Syrian recruits need some protection from the U.S., but said no decisions have been made yet on the type of assistance to provide. He also said that after the U.S. streamlined vetting candidates, the numbers of recruits would increase. "We are refining our curriculum, expanding our outreach to the moderate opposition, and incorporating lessons learned from the first training," he said. Catherine Garcia

Ron Modra: A Baseball Life
By Robert Hanashiro, Sports Shooter Newsletter
Photo by Ron Modra
Hank Aaron and Mickey Mantle together in a dugout at County Stadium in Milwaukee.
Ronald C. Modra was a Sports Illustrated photographer for 23 years, with 70 covers to his credit. He traveled around the world covering all sports for the magazine, but his passion was baseball. Ron answers a few questions for Sports Shooter and reflects on his experiences in the game he loves.
What do you love about baseball?
Ron Modra:
Ive always loved baseball since I was a kid. Whats not to like? The pacing of the game, waiting to capture a really big play at the plate. And, youre outdoors. Spring Training is the bestI love the relaxing atmosphere of Spring Training. What I really loved back when I started out and working through the 70s and 80s was accessibility of the players, by the 90s wed already lost that.
I still love going to the ballpark in the summer and seeing old friends, some of the players such as Paul Molitor, Don Mattingly and Ned Yost who are managers now. I never get tired of it.
How did this book com together?
Completing this book has been a longtime dream and when I realized my 40th year covering baseball, most of them for Sports Illustrated, was approaching, it seemed like the time to dig in and do it.
I started going through photographsdozens of themthen I called Peter Klabunde, a fantastic designer and baseball fanatic, and we came up with the concept of organizing pictures by the decade. Then we got to work.
It made sense to invite some of my colleagues to participate and I was impressed, flattered and incredibly grateful that several writers who Ive worked with over the years agreed to write by-the-decade essays.
These guysTim Kurkjian, Peter Gammons, Tom Verducci and Leigh Montvillejust happen to be the very best at what they do: writing about baseball and talking about it on TV. Their contributions gave context and insight and background to the photographs.
And an introduction by Bob Costas and a foreword by MLB Commissioner Allan H. Bud Selig, who Ive known since I was Brewers team photographer a long, long time ago, topped it off in the best possible way.
Ive always loved baseball. When I was a kid, Id lay in bed at night listening to Milwaukee Braves (before they were the Brewers) games through the earpiece plugged into my transistor radio. It was a thrill when my dad took me to a game and I saw my favorite player, Hank Aaron, as well as Eddie Matthews, Warren Spahn and Joe Adcock.
I still love baseball. I love watching it and making pictures of the players and the game. That hasnt changed a bit.
You have a lot of fun stories about some of the all-time baseball greats. Wed love to close the interview with a few of your favorites:
In 1973, when I was hired as Brewers team photographer, I was barely scraping by but I considered it my dream job, especially a few years in when in 1975, Aaron, who had left Milwaukee with the Braves a decade earlier, returned to town to finish his career as a Brewer.
Photo by Ron Modra
Pete Rose slides head first into third base.
In February of that year, I drove my old, beat-up blue and white 69 Dodge van all the way from Wisconsin to Sun City, Arizona to meet the team for spring training. My third day in town, I was loading equipment into my van after practice when I heard someone yell, Hey! You going back to the hotel?
I turned and saw Hank Aaron jogging toward me.
And yes, I gave him a ride, my heart pounding the whole time. I wished someone I knew would pull up beside me and recognize me.
We started chatting when suddenly Aaron, who was eyeballing the rusted interior of my van, the ripped curtain behind the drivers seat and the burger wrappers on the floor, said, Man, did you drive this all the way from Milwaukee?
Yeah, I said.
Chuckling, he said, I think you should leave it here.
In the mid-80s, I was hired to shoot the stills for an instructional video that Mickey Mantle was filming with Tom Seaver and Gary Carter at the Braves/Expos spring training facility in in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The day of the shoot, I arrived very early and walked into the empty stadium to scout. As I walked up the steps, I noticed a lone figure sitting in one of the seats. He was an older man wearing a plain gray baseball uniform and cap and staring out at the vacant field.
It was Mickey Mantle.
Whats going on today? he asked.
Oh, Im just sitting here thinking, he said. God, I wish I could still play.
While working in Chicago one day in 1991, I approached Kirk Gibson to shoot his portrait for a project I was doing for Topps Chewing Gum. Despite how gruff he could be with the media, Gibby and I were friendly, bonding over our love for hunting and fishing.
Oh, he groused, you know I hate doing this bullshit. Where do you want me?
We went to the batting cage where I shot off about forty snaps then, I froze. I tried to be nonchalant about motioning to my assistant, but Gibby was on full alert.
Big Mr. Sports Illustrated forgot to put film in his camera! he roared.
At least thats something we dont have to worry about anymore.
Sometimes occupational hazards came with my job. One of the most memorable happened during a shoot with Nolan Ryan in 1986.
Occupational hazards came with the job. One of the most memorable happened during a shoot with Nolan Ryan in 1986, a year he was making headlines pitching no-hitters for the Houston Astros. For the feature, we wanted to shoot Ryan at his cattle ranch. He only had one day off between games so I hired a helicopter to transport Ryan, myself, and my assistant, Phil Jache, from Ryans front lawn in suburban Alvin, Texas to his ranch in Gonzalez, Texas.
It was an incredibly humid Texas summer day and as we were taking off, the helicopter windows fogged up completely. Everybody stopped talking. My blood pressure soared. My assistant went pale. Ryan looked cool and confidant, but remained silent, as did the pilot.
I can just see the newspaper headline, I said, as the windows began to slightly defog. Nolan Ryan dies in helicopter crash. Also killed were the pilot and two other guys.
Even the pilot managed a grin.
One of the scariest, but ultimately one of the funniest shoots I ever had was with my friend, Rich Goose Gossage, the legendary Yankees closer. In mid-1994, the players had gone on strike, which everyone suspected would mean the abrupt and unsatisfying end to Gooses career because at age 43 he likely wouldnt be returning in 1995. (He didnt). As a player who had been active for all the MLB work stoppages, Goose could speak authoritatively about the strike, so SI sent me to his ranch in Canon City, Colorado for a feature.
We had a ball fishing and riding horses and bumping over his 50,000 acre spread in a jeep. Then, it came time to do a pitching shot.
Cmon Ronnie, you gotta catch me, said Goose, attempting to appear growly. I was uneasy. I had no cup. No mask. The man had been clocked over 100 mph.
Cmon, he said with a grin. Ill go easy.
We walked over to a wide piece of dirt and grass near one of his horse corrals. He tossed me a glove and I crouched into position. He bounced one on our pretend plate. Then he threw another one into the dirt.
This isnt so bad, I thought. Show me what you got, Gooster!
He threw another one. This time hard. It stung the palm of my hand and reverberated through my body. I tossed it back to him. He hurled another, which hit my hand in the exact same spot. I grimaced and tossed it back to him.
Again, he pitched the ball to me. Hard. This one flew out of my glove.
Man, I said. You almost ripped off my thumb!
Yeah, Goose said. I was careful not to mess with your trigger finger.

I liked you could bring as much sealed water with you as you could carry, but as mentioned more water fountains are needed. We walked all around and took in views from different areas during practices and found many great views.
Our biggest peeve was the timing. The on screen only updated once per lap when they crossed the line. The towers were even slower.
Lot G was only closed on Friday. You could park there on Sat/Sun. We did.
Really nice track, but not so good for spectating, but that is what you get for a safe track. You are really far from the track at pretty much all locations. It kinda sucked they kept you from the track part where they were doing over 200mph. They left that area to the big motorhome folks. Some stands or a way to get to the inside of the track at that point would be welcome.
I gotta say the motoGP bikes are more boring to watch than I expected. Nothing like they used to be. I've not paid any attention to motoGP for over 15 years. I guess the fancy electronics are to blame. Oh well. They sure do haul some ass.
It was fun, but not exciting to watch. They got to get rid of the electronic nannies IMO.

Maybe Tony Gonzalez will change his mind. Maybe he'll get bored in a few months' time. Maybe he'll pull a Brett Favre and return to the game of football only after he's dodged the physical pain and stress of training camp and the preseason. But one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history insists that he's "probably" retiring after the Atlanta Falcons were knocked out of the playoffs Sunday by the San Francisco 49ers. If indeed he's done after 16 NFL seasons, here are 10 stats that help tell the story of Gonzalez's career. 1,242: That's how many catches Gonzalez had during his 16 seasons. No NFL player had more than 1,043 during that same span, and it's the second-highest total in NFL history. That's 427 more receptions than the next tight end on the list, Shannon Sharpe. 14,268: That's how many receiving yards Gonzalez accumulated in his 16 seasons. Only Terrell Owens and Randy Moss have posted higher numbers during that span, and it's the seventh-highest total in NFL hist...

Rapid, highly sensitive diagnostic provides patient HIV tropism status needed to initiate therapy with Pfizer's recently approved Selzentry(TM)
(Maraviroc), CCR5 antagonist.
MALIBU, Calif., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Pathway Diagnostics announces nationwide availability of SensiTrop(TM), its proprietary molecular heteroduplex tracking assay (HTA) for determining the co-receptor tropism status of HIV infected patients. Pathway performs the SensiTrop(TM) assay in its CLIA approved laboratory on samples received from Mayo Medical Laboratories and other soon-to-be named national laboratories.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070917/LAM073LOGO)
Recently Pfizer Inc. and the FDA announced the approval of Selzentry(TM) (Maraviroc), the first in a novel class of anti-retroviral drugs based on blocking the CCR5 co-receptor of HIV. Selzentry, in combination with other antiretroviral agents, is indicated for treatment-experienced adult HIV patients with only CCR5-tropic HIV-1 detectable who have evidence of viral replication, and HIV-1 strains resistant to multiple anti-retroviral agents. The FDA label states that when initiating therapy, tropism testing and treatment history should guide the use of Selzentry.
"Pathway is pleased to introduce this second generation diagnostic HIV tropism assay nationwide, providing clinicians a fast, sensitive and economical testing alternative to the currently available biological HIV tropism assay," said Walter Narajowski, Pathway Diagnostics President and CEO. "This timely introduction of SensiTrop is a perfect example of Pathway's strategy to license proprietary biomarkers, develop them, and rapidly commercialize them with diagnostic partners."
SensiTrop(TM) is a molecular based assay designed and demonstrated to
be highly-sensitive in detecting CXCR4-tropic HIV in patient samples that

The Mets and Blue Jays quickly moved toward a trade yesterday. A trade isn't official yet, however news from Jon Heyman is that players in the deal have been agreed on, just no news yet of who is involved. At this point it looks like it is medical reviews that are left, possibly extension talks with Dickey. The Other surprising news from last night is the move might require multiple players moving both directions. The players on the Toronto side looks like Gose and one of JP or D'Arnaud. Obviously, the Mets want D'Arnaud and if JP/Gose would have had the deal done, the deal would probably have been completed a while ago. Travis D'Arnaud is the impact player the Mets could be looking for. In the minors D'Arnaud has put up the following numbers (also I'm not sure but I think the spelling is d'Arnaud): 2012 (AAA): 279 AB, 45 R, 93 H, 21 2B, 2 3B, 16 HR, 52 RBI's, .333 BA 2011 (AA): 424 AB, 72 R, 132 H, 33 2B, 3B, 21 HR, 78 RBI's, .311 BA It is also very entertaining that if D'Arnaud is traded to the Mets, he will be going back to Vegas with the Mets and Blue Jays swap of facilities. Personally, if D'Arnaud is in this deal, I'll do it in a heartbeat. If JP is the catcher involved, I'm not as inclined. Tweet

From the article: What Dads Can Do to Have a Peaceful Holiday Season
What techniques do you use with your family to manage the stress of the holidays and to find peace during the holiday season?
Make a plan
- I plan my day in advance so that I have activities that fill the day. If it is possible that those activities involve others, it's even better because you then feel a commitment not to let the other person(s) down. Some examples of activities: going to my local library, making homemade stuff (like soap or cookies, or origami decorations and can also involve crocheting, baking and so on), writing end-of-year letters to loved ones, taking a walk, cleaning the attic or (re)organize personal files or create a new filing system for the next year (this can take several weekends), engaging in a DIY project (nothing complex really, can be changing the color on one wall or the dining chairs), re-organizing the furniture (I do this every couple of months and it really changes the way I view my home.
- —Guest Kay
Religious Observance
- The best thing we have ever done is attend church service on Christmas eve. It brings peace to the actual day, even if the rest of the season has been crazy.
- —TopDad

In case you live under a rock, 30 Rock creator-star Tina Fey's new book, Bossypants, is getting good reviews like this one in the LAT:But any concern that Fey, like so many before her, has been ruined by fame is quickly dispelled by "Bossypants," a book that reminds you why Fey has succeeded where so many have failed — because she is precise, professional and hilarious. At first, "Bossypants" appears to be just more of the same — there's Fey on the cover looking fabulous but not owning it (her airbrushed face is framed by two large and hairy male arms) and the back is filled with fake and self-deprecating quotes regarding her appearance and t...Read More »

- Advanced Multipoint
- Text to Speech
$69.99Suggested Price
Rated 4 out of 5 by 247 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Clay connects to everything I needed a new headset for my MacBook Pro. I bought the tone plus because they were on close out at Sam's. Got home connected them to my phone. I was also able to connect them to my iPad, laptop, MacBook Pro. Can only connect to two things at once but, it is compatible with just about everything. Was so pleased, I went out and bought my son one. May 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by bettieb Great Product User friendly and great sound. This product has great features. May 22, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shiv. Audios buffering not as expected I just bought this product and I Found it has an excellent tone clarity while I played MP3 songs and videos but It buffers very badly. Excellent clarity still not of any work because it irritates while buffers. April 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dathna51 Easy to use and has great features This is a great way to drive or listen to music while working out. I do wish the holder's used to keep the cords in place were much studier. April 22, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by roadrider godd product like this model better I own both a 730 and a 750 model I prefer the features on the 730 which are the same but the buttons are easier to use on this model. I do recommend these headsets March 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nay Lg Tones are awesome! I love my Lg Tones! This is the best thing I have purchased in a long time. I love the fact that I don't have to worry about any wires getting in the way of my arms, I can work easily, move around how I want to without the worrying about dropping my phone because I accidently snatched the headphone jack out my phone.... I can jump around and wave my hands in the air if I wanted to, and not be restricted. I LOVE MY LG TONES! March 21, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by x8u2nite excellent battery life i have used this LG HBS730 while driving all throughout this recent winter storm. I was driving a Uhaul truck and my wife was following me and we stayed connected with our cell phones talking while driving through the harshest road conditions imaginable, snow, sleet, ice, fog and wind. We drove for about 8 hours and i think we talked for 4 hours or more off and on and everytime i turn this thing HBS730 she tells me "battery high" it s just amazing gadget. i once forgot to charge her up at night and i got "battery median" but it still held up its power until we got done driving for the day. I got one word for this gadget - AWESOME March 19, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cooper Not Compatible with iPhone LG HBS730 is great product, and makes life much easier. But it's just not compatible with the iPhone. I bought it to use it with my iPhone 6 and I found it's just too loud especially in applications like Viber, Skype, Tango and FaceTime. Even when I bring the volume in both phone and the headset all the way down, still loud, noisy and you can't mute it. I called LG and they send me new one and it's still loud. I took it with my iPhone to Apple, they tried to play with the settings, but finally they said sorry it's just not compatible with the iPhone and you have to live with high volume if you want to use it. I tried it with Note 4 and it's beautiful and you really can control the volume to the lowest and mute it. So if you have an iPhone, forget about it and find you something else. Thanks, and I hope this is helpful. March 6, 2015

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
Last spring, Athena Alliance, along with support from the Kauffman Foundation OECD, The Conference Board, and US National Academies, put together an inspiring conference on the role of intangible assets— information, workforce skills and know-how, effective management and marketing, business models, relations with suppliers and customers, software and databases, and intellectual property— in job creation and economic growth.
This captivating and motivating slideshow captures the every individual's "Dear Future Entrepreneur" message.
For one week the world unites, across borders and languages, to celebrate entrepreneurs and innovators...to celebrate the world's job creators.
As the year winds down, thoughts naturally reflect on the year's accomplishments, challenges, regrets and hopes that we carry into the new year. As an entrepreneur, I have found it an excellent time to take stock and make an inventory of the resources and assets that I have come to rely upon and expect to continue to value in the future. With that in mind, I wanted to share my year-end inventory of programs, resources, and organizations that are serving the interests of entrepreneurs.
The Kauffman Foundation has released its "Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity" for 2011. The numbers reveal a decline in the rate of new business creation in 2011 as compared to 2010, but don't be too quick to judge.
Global Entrepreneurship Week is an annual weeklong, worldwide series of events that educates literally millions of people about entrepreneurship and innovation. The Kauffman Foundation rounded up some GEW-related stats to see just how global this week truly is.
In this week's Huffington Post, the "Top 13 States for Startup Hiring" were named, according to StartupHire. My home state of Ohio was on the list....did your state make the cut?
