But what I do know is that solo games are catering to a larger audience. They are putting various gameplay levels of "inconvience" into their games.
And are you going to play on easy mode? Is that what you want in a MMO? If we have only one mode I would argue for a harder option, but if you can do it in solo games then multiple difficulty options may see the light of day in MMO's.

True, but you have to remember when you have one qualitatively better piece of loot, that will become the expectation for all. If you want to get into a good group, the expectation will be that you have the most effective weapons, just as it is now that you have the best buffs, the best spells, etc. So even people who don't care about any of this, but want to group with others, are going to have to play as if they care and be after crafted weapons, armor, etc.
Not all players are greedy and I don't really know that we ought to be encouraging it, that's what makes a lot of player-based economies so outrageous. I know that when I was playing, virtually everything mob-dropped went straight in an NPC shop, just to dump it. On rare occasion, when I had something that was worth more or might be useful to people, I'd get on guild chat and yell "who wants this?" and give it away for free. I am not driven by greed by any means. Then again, I used to craft for free for anyone who wanted it too.
At which point in time, nobody is going to go running around in the world. They do this in Anarchy Online. Not only do most people get some sort of high-speed vehicle so they can get around the world, there are the Whom-Pahs that let you get from city to city, and the fixer grid, that anyone who has ever played a high-level fixer will tell you, they get bugged constantly by people who want access to the grid. Nobody travels long distances in real time if they don't absolutely have to. By adding in portals, as you suggest, aren't you just shooting your whole huge explorable world concept in the foot?
Which is entirely fine, but it'll still be discovered almost immediately and put on a website and all of these new and interesting things will just be passe. None of it will be inconvenient, which is what I thought you wanted.
I've always thought that crafted armor and weapons should be unique, but not only in look, but in stats. The swords made by a particular crafter should be fundamentally different than the swords made by another, the armor made by one should be different than the armor made by another. Maybe this maker's sword causes 1% more damage, but is 1% more fragile and could break easier? In fact, you could even make it random, every sword is not exactly the same as every other sword.
MMOs are games, nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't matter what genre it is, the fundamental purpose of all games, no matter what genre you're playing, is to have fun. MMOs are not simply an online extension of P&P RPGs, that might have been what some people hoped for, but that's simply not the case. You cannot have the same experience in any computer-based game that you can sitting around a table with friends. It just isn't possible. I think there are far too many people who still dream that's what MMOs are, who need to wake up and deal with the reality. These are games. They're meant to be fun. They are going to cater to the audience that pays the developers the most money, just like any other game.
It's like wishing for flying cars. Wish all you like, just deal with the reality.

The market, the people who pay for these games to be made, the people who pay for these games to continue, decided they didn't want those features. Therefore, those features went extinct.

I do think we are a bit spoiled when it comes to computer gaming in general. But there's got to be a balance of convenience and practicality in this equation. Some things are good for the user-base and others only worsen the situation. I think universal chatting in games is stupid, but it allows players to connect no matter where they are in the game. I also think teleport points in game take the fun out of exploration, but it allows players who are in a time crunch the ability to move at instant speed between locations. You might think group finders are the worst thing ever in the gaming universe, but in gameplay, they allow players to connect with other players of similar status and skill to explore content.
The key to balancing this equation is to make these the "pay only" features in games. Instant teleportation could be a payed service, while the players can travel normally in game without it. Group finding features should be blocked unless the player has paid to get access to it. Giving players a boost in experience is a usual cash only item in games. Paying to unlock a quest chain is entirely idiotic, but paying cash to get help from NPCs would be a good idea. This is where P2P games and F2P games differ. F2P games make players pay to access content that is handed to the players in P2P games.
It's not really that progression in games is too fast, it's because you are playing the game too long in duration and with lower frequency per day. Newer games are aimed at the early working age and school age audiences, most of which can spend between 1-2 hours on a game daily during the week. Any person can make any game progression fast if they sit down for a couple hours and accomplish what normal players accomplish in a matter of a week.
I played WoW up until WotLK, played RoM for 2 years and now Rift.

And as of challenge .. i like challenges. Riding 20 min on a boat is not a challenge, it is a chore. And i am always for difficulty options like 3 levels of raids in WOW (LFR, normal and hard), and 10 levels of difficulties in D3. In fact, i always play D3 at the highest difficulty that i can survive.
However, once again, i don't play games to travel. There is little challenge in walking for 10 min, or use a map.

Not saying I want to go back to those days btw.......
Even with travel, it is actually quite challenging to lead a 200 ship fleet 30 hops into enemy territory, engage and return everyone home safely.
Just a different sort of challenge and not for everyone obviously.
In my day MMORPG's were so hard we fought our way through dungeons in the snow, uphill both ways.

Let's use an example. A 20 min boat ride involves zero challenge and it is inconvenient. Do you think there is a difference? Don't you think no sane person in the world will confuse 20 min boat ride as a challenging gameplay element?
On the flip side, i doubt anyone will confuse defeating a difficult boss that 99% of the players fail .. as an inconvenience but not a challenge.

No way, that shit wasn't nearly as hard as the Sunwell...
No way, that shit was simple, C'thun, that shit was impossible!
Nothing in WoW was ever hard...
The point is, you can't discuss "difficulty" without ego entering the discussion. The e-schlongs must be drawn forth, and measured against each other. Hubris demands lesser mortals just aren't up to my e-complishments.
And the futher back we retreat into the past, the longer we've been telling ourselves how awesome we are, and how pitiful and useless these "players of today" have to be, by comparison.

Purple - This is a fundemental problem with the playerbase of today's MMORPG's. You have to have the best gear, you have to have particular stats, you have to have a particular build or you are passed over and not even considered....or rarely are. And personally, I think it's BS. I have seen players with green gear outperform those that hardcore raid and feed off others help to have the top tier gear. It's not always the gear, but the player. Just most people now consider what a player is wearing or wielding their resume of worth. What a load of garbage.
Red - Yes, not everyone is greedy...but be realistic...a large majority are. Especially the hardcores that will milk an item in an AH for all they can get. No one is promoting greed, it's a natural occurance,. In games and in reality.
White - I started with old school MMORPG's yes...but that doesn't mean I constantly want long journies. But 9 times out of 10 I still do it. Why? Because I am not in a hurry for the next shiney. I want to relax and enjoy the scenery and content between quests, dungeons, etc. Sure, once in awhile I will take the faster route...but believe it or not...there are people who still like to take the long way at times instead of the fastest and easiest way everytime. Some enjoy it, I am certain I am not the only one. I am saying that for those like me, it's still there to enjoy, but they can add portals for those who want to bypass this. No reason they can't have both.
Yellow - Sigh. Again...I know this...but at least this way it varies it from having just one same old tired way of doing it. They could also add different mobs upon changes, different loot tables, possible random treasure chests. I am just saying there are ways to make it not quite as cookie cutter. And where did I ever say I wanted inconveinience? What one person finds inconveinient, another may be able to find the fun. It's only inconveinient to those who don't like a given feature.
Green - Right. This is what I am getting at. Crafted gear, created by a player, SHOULD be different in looks and stats. And yep...Could have it where depending on what "extra" ingredients, or amounts of ingredients you added to weapons and/or armor recipies...it could alter the stats, and weapon integrity. Would also make crafting much deeper and interesting to experiment with.
Pink - But they DID start as P&P style games because that is who they were targeting in the beginning. But yes...sadly now they are catered to the WoW/console generation. And I know some will jump in and say I am slandering and name calling, blah blah...but I am not...it's what I see has happened since 2004. HOWEVER...probably a bit more so than that, they cater to.....waaaaaaait fooooor it....the old school crowd who want to hold onto playing MMORPG's, but don't have the time for them based on their RL obligations. So of course they don't mind them being turned into fast paced single playerish RPG's and lobby games.
But also...once they were commercialized to the populace...they went the way of speed and fast rewards. It's like watching a LotR movie where everyone is on crack and the movie lasts 10 minutes and they save the world. Ho-hum and lack luster IMO.
It's just the way of society now. No one has patience, and people refuse to see fun in any other way than this...or even the possibilities of what can or could be done. I don't mind fast fun myself...but that is why I play console games or PC FPS games. I USE to play MMORPG's to get lost in a world, become my character, and relax and forget reality...but sadly....they no longer give that feeling. And it isn't because I've been there done that over and over again. It's because those types of MMORPG's are nearly, if not already completely extinct....and it's just sad. I feel if you can't find the time to enjoy an MMORPG in moderation.....you shouldn't be playing them. But again...just my own opinion.

I'm not in the camp that MMORPGs should be changed from what they are. I am in the camp that I don't like what they have become.
I don't think that adding inconvenience will improve mass appeal games. I do think that adding inconvenience would make the world feel more detailed for ME.
As I see it, the issue is niche compared to mainstream.
A niche game can add inconvenience as a feature. I don't see it ever happening to mainstream if they continue in the current direction, which is expected.

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, adieu...
Some inconveniences like long travelling time, some kinds of grind, un-soloable dangers to get from A to B and so on foster communication between players, be it to make the grind or walking a long distance more entertaining, or because you can't do it alone.
I'll use two very different MMORPGs to illustrate my point.
Lineage II: It was a long long grind. And when you didn't have much adena to spare you had to walk. And what else to do when you're just walking than chatting with your clanmates.
The combat wasn't very fast and that made chatting while grinding rather easy. Even if you could solo, having another guy with you would make both your MP bars last longer.
Longer, but not forever. Eventually you both would have to sit down and wait to regen. I agree that it's boring to watch your character do nothing for some minutes, yet it gave you time and motivation to talk to the guy you were in a group with, or, if you were soloing, to chat with your clanmates.
I'm not a talkative person, not even online, but I made friends and some of them I met in RL afterwards.
Now I'm looking at my screenshots (I made screenshots for the smallest of things, all the time. Easily over a thousand) and there's hardly any where I'm not saying something in party or clan chat. In most of them there's me having some conversation with 1 or more people.
This is not seen through nostalgia glasses, some of them are from after I had played Champions Online so it can't be that long ago.
Guild Wars 2: This is a game I like very much. It's fun, it's big and it's a joy to look at, and I'm playing it since one of the BWEs (don't remember which).
I run around the world, I do renown hearts and events, help people kill hard mobs and revive them. I've done a couple of dungeons (not to thrilled about them). I've gone to WvWvW and spent some time there. I've been part of groups gathered to kill mobs such as the krait witch and so on, I do a jumping puzzle and sometimes I see a player or two or five there doing it too.
But I rarely talk to anybody nor I'm talked to. Often I talk to some random guy only to see him go away or keep killing a few mobs and then go away.
Oh I've written in the chat window a few times of course. But we've only exchanged a couple of witticisms and then buh-bye, never to see each other again.
There's people chatting in map chat, yes, and my server (Piken Square) is packed with roleplayers that fill the local chat nicely. Not much more.
And I think it's because it's all very fast and very busy and the goals change so quickly. Now I'm doing an event but at the second it's finished and the loot is looted, a few "GJ" and teleport to the waypoint nearest the next one. Or to complete a renown heart. Or find all waypoints, vistas and points of interest. Or whatever.
Maybe others can, but I find it very hard to say anything while I'm fighting a mob in this game. And there's barely a pause between mobs at all.
I have a RL friend that happens to also play this game and we talk from time to time, but all too often we're too busy using out keyboards for things other than chatting.
Now the preemptive disclaimers:
I realize others may have done more of an effort to communicate and succeeded. It's all just vague feelings and motivations.
I haven't played WoW, Everquest, Ultima Online, Anarchy Online or DAOC, to name a few old school MMORPGs. I can't comment on these issues when it comes to these games.
I'm not defending tedium and grind, I'm just commenting on my impression that they might be related to the game's community.
And finally Ye Olde "sry 4 my english not my 1st language".
And thus, I think that some inconveniences, by means of fostering communication, add to the game's longevity and enjoyment. Whether the benefit outweights the boredom, I'm no one to decide.
Edit: OMG with the wall of text. Maybe I should've made a new thread lol...

Originally posted by XAPGamesEQ, UO, DAoC? All boutique games, by today's standards. Many of them started their life with these 'inconvenience' features, and discarded them, either before or after 2004. EQ got rid of the much-maligned "forced grouping" at the request of its own player base. Whups, can't blame that one on these lazy modern players.
Virtually every game in existance as of 2002 was already heading toward more solo-friendly before WoW opened, intentionally. CoH (already solo-friendly on its birthday) opened before WoW did. Oops, another one we can't totally blame WoW for.
At the same time these 'inconvenience' features were being removed from their orignal homes, one by one? The industry itself was expanding, by about two orders of magnitude. Huh, that's in...convenient..
Those MUDs we were talking about earlier? Two orders of magnitude smaller still than the late 90s boutique MMOs...
Again, maybe removing some of those inconveniences encouraged a big-ass growth spurt?

Although some people are like that...despite what you think, I am not one of them. I don't think I am above the average gamer...I AM the average gamer. It's a difference of opinion and personal preference is all I ever try to get across and others want to contstantly overlook and cast assumptions instead...because I don't agree with their outlooks all the time.
I just feel given vague directions with some landmark clues is more intriguing and interesting and adds to exploration more so than being told to go to an exact spot that is clearly marked on a map..taking away any need to think about where I may of seen such a landmark before, or communicate with other players to find out where it is...or even killing the excitement and gratification in locating the place without the aid of others or map GPS. Does that mean it's wrong that there are those who like being told exactly where to go and have that map GPS? Nope...it's just not my thing and don't see the fun in it. Same with other features.
I do not see a reason there cannot be a middle ground. But people on these forums are like the Israelis and Palestinians. Instead of comprimise and understanding and seeking a middle ground they can agree on and both live with....both sides are stubborn and greedy and want what they want and to cast hate on the other if they don't agree.
If one side asks for something, the other knocks it. This goes more so on the modern side doing it than the older. Which I find selfish considering nearly every one caters to them already...so what should it matter to them if one game is asked for to cater to the olders crowd? And why do they feel the need to comment in such threads if they don't interest them other than to try and pitch there constant "it's not what the majority wants and it won't work" rants. I am certain one can thrive with a good mix of old and new if done right...it's just a matter of a company having the balls to do it and prove it. Even with a player base of 250K+ it can turn a profit. May not be WOW-esque profit...or even Rift profit...but still profit.
And again, what some may find trivial, others may find fun in doing. It's only trivial or "useless" to those who don't like that given feature. And that is a 2-way street.

If the GM told us that we had to spend an hour of real time on traveling with no action in between and just described the scenery, we would have laughed at him.

My God. No I am not forgetting. You are taking it way too literally and in depth. I was just saying they were first made with P&P players in mind. As at the time...such players and console players were for the most part actually a seperate market. I say for the most part because out of my many friends who played P&P games...I was one of 3 that also played console games (Atari 2600 at the time).

Well if the original MMO's were targeting those P&P gamers, yet the P&P games didn't have those inconveniences, one has to wonder how effective their target marketing actually was.
Not commenting on the success of the games, just that maybe they missed their market and got a different one.
Quit worrying about other players in a game and just play.

WKU Students host farm to campus events
|Author: Lynn Minton
Date: Wednesday, February 27th, 2013
The 100 Mile Dinner was held on Friday, February 22 at the WKU Faculty House and Farm to Table Convergence took place on Saturday, February 23.
All food prepared and served for the dinner was provided by farmers within a 100 mile radius of Bowling Green. The meal was prepared by students and received direction from Josh Poling, chef and owner of Home Café and Market. Funding was provided by AID, GreenToppers, WKU Office of Sustainability, WKU Office of Research, WKU Agriculture Department, and WKU Campus Services and Facilities. Chaney's Dairy Barn donated the ice cream.
The dinner was attended by more than 120 students/ faculty / staff and was the kick off to the Farm to Campus Convergence Conference held on Saturday, February 23 at the Faculty House on the WKU Main Campus.
Several speakers talked about the importance of providing locally grown foods. Joe O'Daniel from O'Daniel Farms spoke about how he and his wife became full time farmers and provide produce year round to the community.
Sam Lawson, a Bowling Green resident and member of the Kentucky Agriculture Development Board and Kentucky Agriculture Council, spoke about assistance that has been provided to farmers through the Ag Development Board. He also stated that the future looks bright for local farmers because of groups like AID that are making their voices heard about wanting fresh local food as a choice on campus.
Sara Fritschner, coordinator for Louisville's Farm to Table program, spoke about how she is working with Jefferson County Schools to use locally produced chickens.
Junior Molly Kaviar of the campus AID chapter said local food and sustainability are issues talked about by students. "We want to make administrators aware that students are interested in getting more local and sustainable food as options on campus," said Kaviar.
The Farm to Campus Convergence on Saturday hosted students from seven different schools – WKU, Bellarmine, University of Louisville, Transylvania University, Murray State University, University of Tennessee, St. Joseph's College, and a local high school.
Workshops were held throughout the day featuring Carmen Black, with the Real Food Challenge; Terry Shoemaker, WKU's Institute for Citizenship and Social Responsibility; Sarah Fritshner, Louisville Farm to Table; and general student discussions.
"It was a great day for networking," said Kaviar, "and bouncing ideas off each other."
Food for the Convergence was provided by WKU Dining Services, Chaney's Dairy Barn, Ester's Farm, and JD's Bakery.

Belton (December 19, 2012) -- The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor women's basketball team stormed back from a 15-point halftime deficit, but the comeback fell just short in the final seconds of a 67-62 loss to Wartburg College Wednesday afternoon in Belton. The loss drops the UMHB women to 2-8 on the season. The Knights improve to 6-3 on the year with the victory.
The Cru led 7-6 early before Wartburg took control of the first half on the way to a 35-20 halftime lead. UMHB shot just 26 percent from the field in the first half and turned the ball over 15 times in the first 20 minutes. The Cru heated up in the second half, opening the period with a 6-0 run and using a 22-7 streak to tie the game at 42 with 10:15 left to play. After a Knight jumper, Samara Williams hit a three-pointer to give UMHB a 45-44 lead with 8:15 remaining. Wartburg took a 47-45 lead on Baileigh O'Brien's three 11 seconds later, but the Cru used two Jovana Miles free throws and a Tori Tucker three-pointer to grab a 50-47 lead. The Knights went on an 8-0 run to take a five-point lead at 55-50. UMHB would battle back to within two points at 57-55, but Wartburg iced the game from the free-throw line from there.
Tori Tucker led the Cru with a career-high 15 points and Macy Moore and Taylor Tucker added 13 points apiece. Taylor Tucker also pulled down 12 rebounds and Chantal Franco had seven assists for UMHB. The Cru shot 33 percent from the field and went 8-21 from three-point range in the game. UMHB out rebounded the Knights 49-39 and grabbed 22 offensive rebounds.
O'Brien topped Wartburg with 29 points and she scored 19 of those in the first half. She added 10 rebounds, five assists and three blocked shots. Bobbi Burrows added 12 points off the bench for the Knights. Wartburg shot 42 percent from the field despite going just 5-21 from beyond the arc.
The Cru women will now have 15 days off before playing another game. UMHB will return to action with a 5:30 PM tip-off at East Texas Baptist University in Marshall on January 3rd.

Comments about HILLSOUND Trail Pro Crampon:
bought 2 sets 1 for me and my son and had used to climb Mt Cardigan in Orange NH. worked very well on the trails,brooks and streams (iced over). very easy to install to ANY shoe nothing special to buy like to more high end ones. place heal and toe, run the straps through and wratchet snug but not to tight and ur off and running. have yet to try ice climbing as for like water falls with them but as for brooks and streams these are awesome for the money. went back and bought 2 more to add a friend or 2 for the next hike. :)

Comments about HILLSOUND Trail Pro Crampon:
Put these to the test hiking around the upper and lower Kaaterskill falls in the Catskills NY.
40 degrees, Ice, packed snow and water everywhere. Started out Cautiously as with any new gear and after a mile of ups and downs I started trusting in these, even side stepping up some steep stuff they stayed in place. They are a step above yaks and spikes. Climbing Crampons They Are Not, But good on icy trails.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Easy OnOff
- Break easily
Best Uses
Comments about HILLSOUND Trail Pro Crampon:
I bought these over the other options because I liked the ratchet buckle design. Unfortunately the inside buckle of the right crampon broke 4 miles into a weekend long winter trip. EMS replaced them - no questions asked. The second pair held up better than the first, but ultimately the left-rear attachment between the strap and base broke. I can't take chances with this kind of thing and they won't be getting a third strike. Switching to CAMPs.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- 4 Heel Spikes
- Adjustable Bindings
- Good grip on snow and ice
- Weak Bracket On Front
Best Uses
- All Nontechnical Climbing
Comments about HILLSOUND Trail Pro Crampon:
I've used these 3 times since purchase on packed icy snow and glare ice. They are extemely sure footed on ascent and descent of steep, icy and snow covered trails.
Descent, inparticular, is a pleasure due to the placement of heel spikes at the back edge of the heel. This prevents any slipping as you place your heel down. There is no rolling of the spikes as there can be with competing products.
The binding system is great, and very easy to use with gloves on.
The only reservation I have is that in the instructions that come with the crampons you are cautioned to only use stiff soled shoes as flexible ones may bend or break the metal bracket that connects the front spikes to the sliding adjustable bar. I never saw that warning on any web site or reviews while I was searching for crampons.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- cheap
- Ratcheting System
- No Grip On Steep Inclines
- Not for deep snow
- Shallow Spikes
Best Uses
- Ice
- Shallow Snow
Comments about HILLSOUND Trail Pro Crampon:
I ultimately went with these for a hike up to Mt. Adams this past weekend (Feb 18). Snow in places was 5' with mixed ice. On steep inclines the spikes just weren't long enough to provide enough grip to move forward. My snowshoes had more grip than these. Anything that required toe-in climbing just didn't happen. If you are walking on very packed snow with ice on top or just below or just ice alone on a low grade you'll be fine. Otherwise go for the Diamondbacks.

Comments about HILLSOUND Trail Pro Crampon:
I was never a fan of Microspikes because they always balled up on me. I felt my 10 and 12 point crampons were overkill on some of my easy hikes. So these seem to be the ideal thing. The points are very mild and will be easy for most people. The buckles are quick and easy to use and seem to hold well. They barely fit my size 11 Koflach boots, but they do fit. The odd thing is with the length properly adjusted, the furthest rear points sit almost to the center of my heal. It has not caused me a problem though. The quality is not bad, but does not come close to a real crampon. I would never trust these things on a 4000 footer, but they are not made for that. They do work great on easy stuff and walking the dog. They have definitely replaced my microspikes.
Comments about HILLSOUND Trail Pro Crampon:
These crampons seem to balance strength with lite weight very well. Construction is simple and easy to use. Don't know how they could be improved. They seem perfect for intermittent use. They attach easily and quickly.
- 10 Spikes

- Rugged
- Stays Put
- Not Light but rugged
Best Uses
- Hard Pack Snow
- Ice
- winter hiking
Comments about HILLSOUND Trail Pro Crampon:
Rugged, not as light as I thought they would be, good for the serious stuff that's not high Alpine. They stay put and don't shift, easy to get on-off once you do it a couple of times. Felt very comfortable for miles with a full pack on hard-pack and iced over conditions. Heavier, more spikes, and a bit more agressive spikes, than Katoola's, thus the higher cost. Look like they will last a long time. Good for what I do.

Tony Pulis' men currently sit 10th in the standings on 33 points, three points behind ninth-placed Liverpool, with 12 games left to play.
Etherington believes 45-50 points is a realistic target for Stoke this season as they aim to end the campaign in the top half of the table.
He told the Daily Star: "It matters to us. We have always gone down to the last couple of games in 10th spot or just outside the top 10, but never finished there.
"I remember the last game a couple of seasons ago against Wigan when a win, which we should have got, would have meant a top-half finish.
"We are now on 33 points with 12 games left, so I'd like to think we could get to the 45 to 50-point mark. That should get us really close to the top 10."

This is going to be slightly confusing for everyone out there now that Microsoft has announced the Surface, the case of which is made of liquid metal. For we've also got Apple with a licence to use the patent on LiquidMetal. A sole licence to use it in fact. So, err, where has Microsoft got theirs from?
The answer is that the phrase liquid metal means two rather different things and one meaning applies to Microsoft and the other to Apple.
The Microsoft Surface tablet is constructed from magnesium and manufactured using liquid metal. Microsoft claims the magnesium, PVD finish is the first of its kind in the PC market. Called VaporMg, the case is melted down in the manufacturing process and then moulded to the details needed for the design.
There are engineers out there who would wince at that description but it's reasonable enough as far as it goes (the winces would be because that would also apply to a casting which isn't the point of liquid metal at all).
Apple has secured exclusive rights to Liquidmetal Technologies' IP, extending sole access to the company's unique metal until February 2014.
The original $20m agreement expired in February 2012. However, a new filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shows the date has been extended by two more years.
Liquidmetal is an alloy that is strong and resistant to corrosion and scratches, and has a similar moulding ability to that of thermoplastics.
You can see how people might get confused, eh?
The answer is that "liquid metal" is a standard phrase. Most certainly not anything that can be made into anyone's exclusive IP. What it is is a form of metal.
Normally, as you cool a metal from molten, crystals will form inside the bar, plate or sheet. This weakens the piece of metal itself: makes it more likely to crack for example. Much of the art of alloying is to add the right mixtures of metals to reduce these problems while increasing your ability to make other changes to the shape. Liquid metal is a way of cooling the metal very quickly indeed (early methods used cooling of millions of degrees per second) and so getting your metal into a solid state before the crystals could form. This means that your piece of metal is now "amorphous" and the technical term for that is "glass". The liquid in liquid metal doesn't refer to it having been liquid before you cooled it: it is that glasses are a liquid. Yes, I know, oddness abounds, but technically they are, however solid they seem. Largely because they're amorphous you see. "Metal glass" means very much the same thing.
So, that's how we get "liquid metal". The advantage of it is that being amorphous, without those crystals and flaws, we can use less of it, a thinner piece of it, to get any particular level of strength that we might desire. In making tablets or laptops this means that we can make them lighter for any particular strength desired. Lighter is good so that's why it's being used.
That Microsoft's liquid metal is based upon magnesium makes sense in one way. That's a very light metal anyway so the case should be, for whatever strength they decided they needed, very light. A slight eyebrow was raised though: magnesium is flammable at a rather low temperature. Get it up to 650 o C and it'll burn and just keep burning. I had to go and look up what battery fires get to: it seems to be about 550 o F. Yes, the numbers look close together but there is a large gap between those two in C and F. So no problem there then.
Which leaves us with Apple's LiquidMetal. This is a liquid metal and the desire to use it comes from the same as the above benefits. The difference is that LiquidMetal TM (or the patent for it if they've not trademarked it) is a different and specific allow which has been optimised for the creation of moulded parts from liquid metal. Rather than being magnesium based it seems to be zirconium with copper, nickel and niobium (that latter in only one formulation I think). Straying a little away from what I actually know and into a surmise. That Apple alloy looks like the raw ingredients will be more expensive than the Microsoft one. But the claim is that it requires less urgent cooling to still remain amorphous. That could be a significant energy saving which may or may not over ride that higher raw materials cost.
The bottom line here being that Microsoft's use of the phrase "liquid metal" is meaning one of the entire class of liquid metals or metal glasses. Apple's use of the word "LiquidMetal" means one particular set of such alloys from one particular company. "Liquid metal" is available to anyone to use as a description. "LiquidMetal", for the moment at least, only to Apple.
Just as an aside I was told a decade ago that a scandium/yttrium liquid metal would be the perfect (as in, not possible to be better) material to make golf club driver heads from. That may be so but no one we talked to really thought that anyone would want to pay $5,000 just for the materials that the head would be made from: that would be the raw material cost, before anyone started to think about actual manufacturing.

EAST BEND - In a season of blowout wins and shutouts, the Lady Falcons were battled-tested in back-to-back games last week against ranked squads.
And they responded in a big way.
Second-ranked Forbush fought past Surry Central 4-1 Tuesday night before blanking 3A powerhouse West Rowan 4-0 Thursday in a matchup that pitted two of top teams in the state together.
"I'm really, really pleased. I think we put together a full game tonight," head coach Kenan James said after the West game. "We were aggressive and brave out there.
"The other night, Jennifer Baity split her head open and had a two-inch gash on the back of her head, and tonight she's out there winning every head ball. We played really hard."
Baity, showing no ill affects from the injury, set the pace early on for the Falcons Thursday. The Pfeiffer-bound senior fired home a penalty kick in the lower right corner less than eight minutes in to give Forbush a quick 1-0 advantage.
The Falcons peppered the goal early and often in the first half, including three corner kicks in the opening 40 minutes, but were unable to extend their lead.
Nancy Rios finally broke through just before halftime, chipping the ball over the keeper's head from the left baseline to give Forbush a 2-0 cushion at the break.
West Rowan showed signs of life in the opening minutes of the second half, testing Falcon net-minder Jessica Funk. But Funk came up big.
"Jessica had a huge save in the first half, tipping the ball over the net. The girls have a lot of confidence in her and she's been pretty sure with her hands. She was steady and looked good back there," James said.
But Forbush answered West's scoring threats as Baity found Madison York open in the box in the 25th minute, who fired a shot past the goalie to extend the lead out to 3-0.
Four minutes later, Tiffany Kennedy iced the game when she headed home a long throw-in by Sheridan Caudle as the Falcons cruised to the 4-0 victory, adding a signature win to their already impressive résumé.
"We scored in every kind of way," James explained. "They stepped up to this kind of competition, and we need that for the playoffs.
"Hopefully this will give us some confidence. We've had some blowout wins, so we were glad to get a game that was tight and come in a play well and get a good result. Four goals against this team is outstanding," he added.
James credited his team for responding well to a shaky performance against 14th-ranked Surry Central two nights earlier, where the Falcons scored three goals late to break a 1-1 tie for the close win.
"The Surry Central game was very different. The ball wasn't on the ground much and they were very physical and I don't think we matched their physical play," he said. "Tonight, we came out wanting to prove that we were a physical team and play our style of game regardless of who are playing.
"Surry Central did a good job of taking us out of our game, but we played our game tonight and I'm really pleased with that. We were exposed a little bit in the game Tuesday and I think we fixed those things and didn't show up against West as much," James added.
With the wins, Forbush rose to No. 2 in the latest Eurosport 2A rankings and improved to 16-0 on the season. But aside from the perfect mark and the state ranking, James believes the victories will benefit the team in the long run come playoff time.
"The games tighten up big time in the playoffs. So to play against tough competition and play under that pressure constantly will help us going forward," he explained. "The margin of error in the playoffs is really small. In the past, the games we've won have been 2-1 and 1-0 and the ones that we've lost have been the same. So there is not a lot of room for mistakes.
"It is really huge for us to play competitive teams like this and come out on top with big wins," James added.
But before looking ahead to the postseason, the Falcons have five league games remaining with their sights set on a Mountain Valley Conference title, beginning Tuesday night against Elkin.

Bagley Balsa B Crankbait - $8.99 to $9.99
Balsa wood baits have long been known for their lively, natural action in the water and their extreme buoyancy. Other woods and plastic materials have since come on the scene, but many pro's still turn to them and keep old proven ones around for year because of their innate fish catching ability. Bagley has been making some of the best balsa wood baits for over 50 years, and Bagley baits have probably more wins in big tournaments that almost any other crankbait made - including four Bassmaster Classics.
The Bagley Balsa B Crankbait is the original square-bill balsa crankbait. Featuring the perfect combination of lively balsa wood, a square bill, and short, fat body, these baits and their special thumping wobble have been catching fish all over the US for years. Featuring premium components as well, and available in a variety of colors, the Bagley Balsa B Crankbaits are the crankbaits to turn to when you are fishing shallow water, especially when targeting bass in submerged trees and stumps.

Comments: First time fishing the bait today in a tournament. Had a good fish on, felt a release and all that was left was the split ring to my knot. Action +1 Durability -1
From: Tommy: Columbia, MO
Comments: Bagleys have always had a problem with cracking paint, the old school fix is clear nail polish.
From: Dave: Columbia Md
Comments: Guys who are cracking them, if your smacking them against the water to get the weeds off, this may be the case. Since they are Balsa wood, you can't treat em like plastic square bills. On the plus side, these things flat out catch fish! wish they had the yellow black back, but I know where to get that color when I need it. The Tennessee shad is a killer as well. They have such an erratic movement in the water, it's just crazy. Check out the 2004 Bassmaster Classic highlights if you don't believe me. Taka caught 3 fish in 3 casts with this same bait to win the classic.
From: Angel: Chicago, IL
Comments: Same problem here Brandon. Not to be a one upper but I have one b3 and two b2's and they ALL have cracks in the body. two right down the sides coming off the lip and one straight down the back coming off of the line tie. for $8.50 i expect great action, which they have, but i want to be able to fish them more than one day. hopefully its just the paint cracking because I did catch a 3lb spot on the coosa with one that was already cracked and it still held up.
From: Mike: AL
Comments: What a let down. Never the same after they closed up. Didn't even survive an hour on lake fork last weekend. Had full length cracks down each side of the bill on TWO lures...I'll be in the market for better square-bills for sure.
From: Brandon: Troy, OH
Comments: I dont care about line ties and all that crap even though the new ones are better and dont bend like the old ones. These baits are flat out the best crankbait ever.Use the red crawfish one on river smallies and they will let ya no. So happy bagleys back now they just need to add to the line up bring the fat cat back.I wish i could go back to a smalltown department store in the early 80s and pick up the whole line.Id give my left testicle for some of there old balsa musky plugs.
From: Tyler: Susquehanna River,PA,USA
Comments: all of you complaining about not having brass line ties must not know much about metal. brass is way too soft and bends so easily it should never be used for a line tie or a hook hanger.
Comments: Wish they had chartreuse black/back like they used to. And firetiger. These new ones do have some great action however.
From: Austin: Joplin, MO
Comments: I see these comments about the brass line ties but I have to admit that I am happy that the line ties are no longer brass. Brass is a very soft metal and as a result, my old Bagley cranks required constant tuning. I am well aware that tuning is required at some point with all cranks but the less time I spend doing it the better. I may have just gotten lucky but I have noticed that these new ones stay in tune much longer. If it performs better, who cares what it is made of?
From: Jared: Perris, CA
Comments: I have to admit I was disappointed that they don't have brass hardware like the originals. But I was pretty impressed with it's action. It's got a nice tight wiggle, very similar action to a Rapala DT. Bagley said the brass doesn't make a difference... But seeing as how original balsa B's are going for over $400 on eBay... I tend to think bagely would sell a lot more of these new versions if they were built to original spec with brass hangers & line tie.
From: Brian
Comments: bagley went on & on about how these would be identical to the original, including brass line ties. All photos on their website show brass ties- NONE of the new baits have brass ties. Very disappointing. Mine just arrived... I don't even want to fish it.
Comments: this bait is the best square bill crankbait period!!!!!! the wood balsa makes all the difference there is just something about wood. i have used all and i mean all from kvd to luckycraft and jackall. this bait outperforms all of them and then some for the price it is a steel all of the japanese wood baits from mega bass and some other japanese companys are very exceptional but they are three times the price of the bagley so in my book its money in the bank buy one !!!!!!! the very best

I did have the chance to review your records. I was quite impressed by how bad your liver tests were and compromised your renal (kidney) function was-pretty much one of the worst HELLP syndromes I have seen short of a true liver rupture. We get a baseline set of labs including 24 hour urine analysis to make sure there is no long-lasting damage. I hope to hear from you as soon as possible.

Wal-Mart breaks Hostess's embargo on TwinkiesThe Associated Press | July 14,2013AP Photo
Jo Mullen picks up a box of Twinkies at Walmart in Bristol, Pa., on Friday. Hostess asked retailers not to start selling them until Monday, the official return date for the snack.NEW YORK Wal-Mart has made Twinkies available this weekend, even though Hostess says it asked retailers to wait until Monday to start selling the spongy yellow snack cakes.
The worlds largest retailer announced Friday that the cakes were available at about 1,600 stores and that about 3,000 of its 4,000 U.S. stores should have them by this morning.
Thats a day before the July 15 return Hostess has trumpeted in its marketing.
Hostess said it shipped out products to give retailers the same opportunity to display the product Monday.
Hostess has not, and is not, giving any particular retailer exclusivity or preference to have products first and is making a great effort to fulfill orders equally and timely to everyone, the company said in a statement.
But Wal-Mart spokeswoman Veronica Marshall said Friday that Wal-Mart is the only retailer shes aware of thats already selling them on a national level.
The product was in our distribution centers, and we went out early, she said.
Representatives for Kroger and Safeway did not immediately respond to say when they would start selling Twinkies.
Marshall had earlier said that Wal-Mart had worked with Hostess to make the snack cakes available early exclusively. But she later clarified the statement to say that Wal-Mart had worked with Hostess to make special packaging with the words First Batch available exclusively at its stores.
By late this week, Wal-Mart says its stores will also have Hostess Mini Muffins and fried Fruit Pies, Marshall said. Coffee Cakes, Ho Hos, Orange CupCakes, Suzy Qs and Zingers will be available by August. Sno-Balls will arrive in the fall.
The new owners of Hostess have said the company will be freezing Twinkies for about 10 percent of its retailers upon request, which lets stores stamp their own expiration dates on the cakes. Marshall said Wal-Mart isnt one of the retailers that will get frozen Twinkies.
Notably, Hostess has also said that Twinkies now have a shelf life of 45 days. Thats nearly three weeks longer than the 26 days the previous company had stated for the cakes. Hostess says the changes were made under the previous owners and longer-lasting cakes hit shelves right before the company went out of business.
Hostess went bankrupt late last year after years of management turmoil and a standoff with its second-biggest union. The company sold off its various brands, with Twinkies and other Hostess cakes going to private equity firms Metroupoulos & Co. and Apollo Global Management, which are known for fixing up ailing brands them selling them off for a profit.
Marshall declined to say how Hostess cake sales were performing at Wal-Mart stores before the bankruptcy. The retailer also sells Little Debbie cakes, which are made by McKee Foods Corp, and Tastykake, which is made by Flowers Foods. Wal-Mart also sells store-brand versions of the cakes.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

Best Video!
Your videos are some of the best on the Aish website. You are straight to the point, and teach the information and messages with such clarity, that makes it very easy to understand (and remember), without trying to align with the secular world to get your point across. All the videos should be more like yours!

Northridge, Calif. – A large, boisterous, highly enthusiastic, high-octane crowd of students, CSUN Matador fans, and members of the community jammed into the Matadome on Friday night to be a part of Matador Madness – an unveiling of the men's and basketball teams at Cal State Northridge.
The evening began with the introduction of both the women's and men's basketball teams that will not only be exciting and talented, but also contenders for post-season honors in the Big West Conference in 2013-14.
The combination of hundreds of glow sticks that were passed out to the Matador fans along with special lighting, and the pulsating sounds of high-energy dance music got the crowd into a festive mood. The atmosphere set the tone for the program that lasted nearly two hours.
"This is the right time to be with Matador Nation," said Matador women's head coach Jason Flowers. "The party has just started. Thank you for your support."
Each member of the CSUN women's basketball team was introduced. The crowd roared its approval. The team responded by throwing many Matador t-shirts into the stands.
Guest host Kel Mitchell from the Nickeloden sitcom "Kenan and Kel" then introduced first year CSUN head's men's coach Reggie Theus.
"It is great to be here in Matador Nation," Theus told the large crowd. "This team is working hard and has a great attitude. You will be proud of this team."
Matador fans got a sneak preview of both team's talents with a three-point contest won by the team of Josh Greene and Randi Friess in a close contest against Ben Vozzola and Cinnamon Lister.
The Matador dance team then entertained the crowd. CSUN guard K.J. Smith showed his dancing talents by breaking away from the Matador bench to join the CSUN dance team. Smith wasn't shy with his dance moves. The crowd roared its approval.
Both the men's and women's CSUN teams then participated in a free throw contest followed by scrimmages by both teams.
"Is this going to be a great season?," said the announcer. The crowd unanimously said "Yes."
A slam dunk, with Stephan Maxwell stealing the show with a thunderous dunk that swayed the backboard violently, again got the crowd on its feet with approval.
The evening began with a pre-event fun zone on the Matadome Plaza that included games, prizes, and free food for CSUN students. Athletes from Matador sports teams participated in the pre-event party by meeting the fans, taking pictures and signing autographs. The teams included softball, water polo, men's volleyball, baseball and track & field.
This year's Matador Madness was co-hosted by DJ Malski (Jamal McCoy).
Go Matadors !!!

Resolutions--Doing Better
That night at bed time I poured my two year old a glass of rice milk and abandoned the straw sippy cups we had been using at night. And with excitement and delight I said to him "YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW! You get a BIG BOY CUP!" as I carefully put the glass of milk in his two hands for him to take a few sips while we read books. He hasn't used a sippy cup at night since and hasn't complained. Every night for a few weeks I repeated the "You're a big boy now--here is your big boy cup" when I handed him his glass of milk. It was a pretty easy transition away from sippy cups--my two year old is a flexible child who is pretty easy to redirect--especially now that he is healthy.
I was planning to phase in my NO PLASTIC life and my New Year's resolution was going to be to completely abandon plastic. So I started stocking up on pyrex storage containers so I could abandon the plastic storage containers and using glass whenever possible. I love seeing the transparency and the retro look of the food in the glass containers when I open the fridge and the weight of a real glass of water in my hand.
But, after three glasses broke and my daughter got glass in her foot, I realized my NO PLASTIC phase in was going to take longer than a month and my NO PLASTIC New Year's resolution was going to have to be changed to GLASS whenever possible and BETTER plastic glasses when chaos is unfolding at my house. I still give the kids glass cups at the kids table and at bedtime because it works fine with a table low to the wood floor and a carpet, but in the kitchen with a hard tile floor and chaos unfolding I will have to choose plastic sometimes. It is ironic that my first purchase of the New Year was some 10 ounce and 14 ounce Sur La Table glasses from New Zealand that are made of plastic. (Then I rethought my decision and cancelled it and decided I would order a few wood bowls and cups that for sure won't be recalled.)
Although I have fallen short of my NO PLASTIC goal the changes I have made in my life in this area are significant. I choose glass whenever it is possible and realistic--which is quite often. I purchased some high quality plastic drinking glasses from New Zealand, which I have been told by a well traveled journalist friend "is basically an organic country." (and then I cancelled the order.)I tossed all the cheap convenient sippy cups and I found a Scooby Doo thermos for my daughter to take in her lunch box instead of a water bottle. I also found a metal thermos for her to take chicken soup in.
In my house, my son had to go gluten free overnight because his health was so compromised. My daughter and I went gluten free over a few months and we did a gluten challenge to confirm our gluten intolerance. But I know a mother who has made significant changes in the immunity and development of her daughter by making protein and vegetables a more significant part of her diet and getting rid of the white flour and replacing it with whole wheat bread and pasta.
There is an excitement and hope in the feeling of making changes. But sometimes goals are unrealistic and or need to happen more slowly than we expected and might not happen on January 1st. But I think an awareness and being inspired to make better choices when we can is moving in the right direction. We can make small choices to feed our kids better in whatever way works. Choosing organic food when possible. More homemade and less processed food. Replacing a staple convenience food with a healthier one.
WE CAN ALL DO BETTER than we did last year--at least we can try!
Happy New Year!

hello there,Print this post
i relate to your toxin-free resolution.
even though i have no kiddies to keep toxin free there is always me! i just switched over to a SIGG water bottle and i love it. it really is light weight and perfect for travel.
basically it is designed for water or juices, not hot stuff (the make a thermos for that ). so...i feel like i 'm saving our planet a little and saving on overpaying for plastic bottles of water too!
as you prolly kow they make kid sized decorated bottles too ...maybe that would give you a non reactive container for drinks that won't splinter if it falls to the floor (inevitably)
thanks for your informative site.

thanks for your comment...i love the SIGG water bottles. I had never heard of them before, probably because most of my research is on nutrition and i have been busy in the kitchen for the last ten months. but, i am going to order them.i do have a little concern over the secrecy of the resin lining and the aluminum factor. i was also interested in buying some small wooden bowls and cups so if anyone sees any let me know. i think the wood are the best daily in house option for now.

Spurs broke their transfer record to acquire Roberto Soldado from Valencia, and the Spain international provided an instant return on that investment with a debut goal.
Soldado held his nerve from the penalty spot to break Palace's stubborn resistance, with Tottenham unable to turn possession into clear-cut opportunities.
Villas-Boas was, however, pleased to get the 2013/14 campaign off to a winning start and believes there will be more to come from his side once they have gelled together.
He told Sky Sports: "We spoke before the game how difficult it would be because of the surprise factor.
"Ian (Holloway) put his team together very well because he had three players very narrow just behind the striker, which we weren't expecting. That caused a bit of unpredictability and it was a tough game.
"We had some good chances to put the game to bed but, bearing in mind 90 minutes, I think we deserved to win.
"Naturally, the team dropped a little bit after the goal. We had some chances on the counter, which could have put it to bed and it would have been game over. We always had that edge to our game. The overall performance was excellent and we had some chances."
Villas-Boas, who confirmed there has been no movement in Real Madrid's protracted pursuit of Gareth Bale, added on debutants Soldado, Paulinho, Nacer Chadli and Etienne Capoue: "It was important for the new signings. They have just been mentioning the intensity of the Premier League. For them it was the first time and it was a bit of a surprise. I think they did extremely well.
"The objective is always to make your team stronger than the year before, that is our goal and objective in the market. We will keep trying to do that.
"I think the team has developed a lot. Hopefully we have the range of options that enables us to always come with quality."
