How much are you investing in analytics? My friend Mel Carson is asking on the Microsoft AdCenter Analytics blog.
In the UK last week Brand Republic reported that UK spend on search engine marketing would reach £2.75bn this year.
However, just a tiny fraction of that cash – £330m – was spent on the art of SEO or search engine optimisation. The lion's share of web site owner's budget went on paid search solutions like Google AdWords or Microsoft adCenter.
SEO is an essential and vital route to improving usability and search engine visibility of web sites. So with what appears to be a disproportionate amount of time and money being allocated to this fine discipline, it made me wonder how much was being invested in web analytics.
When I say investment, I mean investment in people. Although many web analytics tools cost money to run, some are now free but you still need people to make sense of the data they provide.
Mel makes some great points and there are many reasons resources are not allocated to website optimization. In website optimization I am including search engine optimization, content optimization, making changes to the experience and testing.
Some of the issues are:
These are just some of the reasons. What are some of the other reasons? Please comment below.
It was the CEO of Omniture, Josh James, in January of 2005 who said "Web analytics can pay for itself with a single business improvement — so the real question is how quickly can companies make data-driven decisions? This willingness to change will ultimately dictate time to ROI."
That is the point I will be addressing this week at New York University to the new students entering the Master of Science in Integrated Marketing. How quickly companies and make and act on data-driven decisions will be the main competitive edge over the next 10 years. Should it really take 11 months to respond to a YouTube video by one of your brand advocates?
Amazon has this culture of optimization. If Borders or even Barnes and Nobles ever truly want to compete then they need to adopt it too. They need to get quick at making data-driven decisions and have a process for continuous optimization.
What are you doing to change the speed of optimization and communication in your company? I'd love to chat with you about it.
Success on the web involves adopting a culture of continuous improvement. Which means plan (but remember good enough really is good enough), measure (get good at free then invest in more robust tools and analysis) and most importantly improve (transform your thinking from always being right to always be testing).
Let's try selling optimization as the need for speed. Moving fast is sexy and very profitable.
We have a love hate relationship with speed. We want things faster but God forbid if we, ourselves had to go faster. Speed is vilified in our world today. The word makes many cringe. Speed kills. Haste makes waste.
Optimization is critical for speed to be our friend. Stop confusing busy with speed. Busy, bad. Speed, good.
Busy means overwhelm and optimization can use speed to our advantage. In our office we optimize everything we can.
The first rule of thumb for us is "single entry." Second, automate everything that can be automated (without sacrificing connection with our clients and suppliers).
The kaizen of speed is to ensure routine and mundane activities are delegated to trusted sources so that we find better ways to enjoy the extra time we find in the process.
Thank you for your comments. I know you know a lot about speed being a former Olympian and of course writing about it in your last best selling book.
Isn't this the same type of optimization athletes go through to get that edge over their last efforts? It's this process of continuous improvement to our health that all of us who are not Olympians need to take to eat a bit healthier, exercise, etc. It is not about fast radical change but small incremental ones. Right?
Luckily, our CEO and CMO are a huge fan of testing and testing gets a top priority in many instances as far as the research and planning of tests go as well as the overall interest in testing.
I find the hardest part (which hinders speed) is getting the resources to get the tests up and results rolled out due to other company agendas that these departments (developers,designers etc.) are working on that are in many cases just as important in their own right. Sometimes this takes away from what we can test (or how in-depth or advanced the tests can be) because we have to consider time restraints and resources available and what ultimately will get completed.
The original report was about budgets in the UK. I work on analytics with a variety of small and medium sized e-commerce clients in the UK, so I get to see this close up.
There are often less than a handful of people working full time on the site, even if it's doing something like 50-100,000 page views per day and turning over good money.
Increasing the PPC spend is one of the simplest things for organisations like this to do. The management of the program will probably be handled by an external agency. All the site has to do is find the money and sign the cheque.
Finding the money is never easy, but the agency will take care of the analytics and provide nice plain ROI figures. The money will come out of advertising budgets and is closely linked to sales, so it's relatively easy to get the increase in each round. And the results are almost instant, all being well.
No wonder that's where the money goes.
Everything else is much more difficult both to manage and to get the budget. M/v testing ought to be the number one thing to do, but it involves making changes to the content or structure of the site (even if the technology for testing is free) and getting the budget for that is a whole different ball game. It's not seen as an ongoing advertising cost. It's not seen as directly related to sales. It's a struggle.
Clickstream analysis? That comes very low on the list. It's all 'rear view mirror' stuff. It takes time to build up the data, even more time to analyse it (nobody has time) — and then what? More changes to the site, which come out of which budget?
It's extremely hard for these teams to make progress. They know that money is being left on the table. But without a fundamental change at the highest levels of the company, and within finance in particular, it's very hard to take action.
This is where that other famous rule comes into play: if you can't take action, there's no point in doing the analysis.
Thank you so much for everything you publish. Really helpful.
People pay and pay for AdWords, so they want to get as much out of it as they can.
My trick is, put a $ amount on organic traffic.
Just look at the number of visitors that land on a page from organic searching. If you average $2 a click for AdWords, you can use that to tell people how much the organic traffic is worth.
Now you have to optimize that page, just like an AdWords landing page, so you are not wasting all that "expensive" traffic.
Ha ha. But true….
Great post and fantastic follow-up points. I just wanted to chip in my two cents because we handle objections every day from firms who concentrate the vast majority of their time and budgets on keyword buys at the expense of optimization.
Because the industry is just moving into the discipline of website/conversion optimization, many practitioners are sticking with the safe bet of 'spend a dollar on keywords, hopefully get more than a dollar back in ROI'.
Like one of the salespeople at Sitebrand says on the issue "No one ever gets fired for buying IBM".
It is becoming increasingly apparent however that the concept of treating your website as a source for ongoing analysis and optimization is gaining speed quickly. Based on the growing amount of online dialog (and the fact that Always Be Testing is the #1 book on eCommerce on Amazon right now), website optimization will be gaining some significant traction in the new year.
The balance should be an equal amount of money spent on both specialties, SEO and Webanalytics (cq: conversion optimization) .
Thanks for the good article (again).
I agree with Josh Baker, the hardest part is getting the resources due to company agendas and departments. I work for an ecommerce company with several websites and our company is always looking for new ones to move forward with and new functionality that needs to be implemented. We never really get to focus as much as we should on the current sites and sections of those sites that could lead to more overall conversions.
If we did we might not have to keep creating new sites and partnerships because we are getting more revenue out of the ones we have. We are definitely setting up a lot more tests than ever but the hardest part is still getting the time and resources dedicated to it.
So, to return to the question at the beginning – 'How much are you investing in analytics?' – Lynchpin and E-consultancy recently published the 'Online Measurement and Strategy Report 2008′ based on a survey of around 700 respondents.
Around 5% stated they spend over £200K annually however almost a third of surveyed companies are spending less than £5,000 (five thousand) on web analytics – and this is on staff, consultancy, technology and services…
It would be interesting to know how much they spend on advertising, just to put these numbers into the context. Does anyone have any data about it – web analytics investment as a % of overall marketing spend?
there's so much to say about this I can't type fast enough, there's not enough space here, and there's probably another book in this for you.
Anyhow, this type of attitude is not peculiar to the online world. I've had many "vigorous debates" with fellow marketing managers over the years along the lines of Me: "Why are you still running that campaign when you know it doesn't work?" Them: "I have to be seen to be doing something."
Me: "But you're losing money!" Them: "It's better than doing nothing." Me: "How is losing money better?" [Awkward silence, strange glare, exit stage right.]
This often called "hope, "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Or, as another marketing colleague put it: "They're confusing activity with productivity."
I've heard that refrain: "I have to be seen to be doing something" so many times I can't tell you.
"Hope" seems to be a terminal condition in many people and organisations.
As Drayton Bird keeps pointing out, the techniques for successful advertising and marketing were worked out centuries ago, yet people still consistently refuse to do what works.
What to do?

Speed! Why Optimization Should Be Sexy…
SEO is an essential and vital route to improving usability and search engine visibility of web sites. So with what appears to be a disproportionate amount of time and money being allocated to this fine discipline, it made me wonder how much was being …
A couple obstacles to speed and optimization particulary prevalent at large companies.
Quality Assurance: QA Departments are often averse to speed. At more than one company, I have seen testing and speed of changes going through get the blame for a defect rolling out to production.
Budget process: When competing for resources, 20 projects come to the prioritization table to see which 4 will get done in the next quarter. And the one with a concrete business case showing a 40% return always beats the one that says "we are not sure exactly what the site needs to look like, we just believe that we can increase conversion if we try some things like this." With no approved budget to bill to, forget testing.
Code base complexity: When working in an environment where there are large quarterly or monthly projects being worked at all times, the coders and configuration managers don't like small changes starting and completing before the large ones have had a chance to release. It can make it more difficult to keep track of which code line is current and what branch should get applied where. Eventually, this leads to problem number 1 I noted where qa blames the changes on the optimization speed.
Don't get me wrong, I am a believer and I know first-hand that there is a solution for each of these, but I wanted to add to your list if helpful.
Bryan, in my experience as an Olympian and competing against the best in the world… It's the smartest that end up winning. Not necessarily the hardest working. The smart athletes choose their incremental improvements wisely. Effectively, it's not how much you do but how often you do it.
The Olympic motto is Citius (swifter), Altius (higher), Fortius (stronger). I'd add Smartius.
Hence, in the Age of Speed, it boils down to how smart you are when you apply the three qualities of a JET… aligned, agile and aerodynamic. For more info on that… http://www.ageofspeed.com
GREAT blog. Love it.
This is a great article. Speed is everything! Teach yourself a highly organized, speedy regimen, and you're nearly guaranteed success. Just make sure to adapt to the growth and changes.
I saved this newsletter when I first received it because there was so much of interest in this article. Reading it again I'm still impressed with the articles and the follow up comments. I agree with Mark, that this could be good fodder for a book.
This is so true. I have an extensive Excel document with all the actions I have to take when I make changes to my site.
Great conversation guys! Possibly the most underrated aspect of website optimization is converting the traffic into paying costumers. While plan, measure and improve is the right procedure to do this there is virtually never a budget available for improving the website.
"While plan, measure and improve is the right procedure to do this there is virtually never a budget available for improving the website."
That's correct. Once a website is completed, the website is completed. That's how most companies think….. WRONG!
Nice post! It is treu en usefull.
Thank you for posting this helpfull article. Speed is so inportant!
@Greg Moore: very interesting, I will try it.
When I say investment, I mean investment in people. Although many web analytics tools cost money to run, some are now free but you still need people to make sense of the data they provide. I think MSN Adcenter rulez.
In my Adwords campaign I see that Google generates a lot af pageviews for me. But not so many clicks. I guess less than 2% is a click. So, just like the author of this article [...The lion's share of web site owner's budget went on paid search solutions like Google AdWords or Microsoft adCenter.] I guess I need some real SEO advice for my website. Hug, Tiffany
Analytics are an invaluable tool for our business. I'm pleased with Google's free analytic tools.
Speed is the name of the game. One really has to get some speed going in order to be at the top of this. Making quick decisions based on data can be a big factor towards success.
Analytics is so important. Whats more with the zillions of data moved everyday.
I think the biggest reason for the most companies is that the just dont understand how things work. Or maybe they think its impossible to get top rankings in the search engines.
I would say that it is one of the vitals things of every company to be number 1 in google for their keywords, just my opinion.
Speed should be what every web masters is trying to achieve. It has been shown that visitors don't endure slowing loading sites
Good post, some fascinating details. I believe six of days ago, I have discovered a similar post.
I agree when you said that SEO is an essential and vital route to improving usability and search engine visibility of web sites. SEO have an important role in search engine.

Coldplay Release Surprise New Single "Midnight"
Not much is known about Coldplay's next album, a follow-up to Mylo Xyloto. Rumors have circulated, but the band hasn't confirmed anything. But instead, Coldplay appeared to take a page from Beyonce's successful album strategy, and on Tuesday, they put out a new single without any press or announcement.
The track, titled "Midnight," starkly departs from Mylo Xyloto. Fans who didn't go for the thicker textured, electronic-influenced songs that leaned more in a commercial direction might appreciate the minimalist approach on "Midnight." While still electronic, the song has an overall airy, stripped-down feel, with Martin's vocals sounding restrained and light.
The track may or may not be from their still-untitled seventh studio album. A French-Canadian report claims this release should drop in either May or June, and if this is the case, timing "Midnight" as the first single makes sense. If not, "Midnight" might simply be a one-off track indicating a change of direction.
As well, the new release is rumored to sound like 2002 album A Rush of Blood to the Head.
Even for all of its divisiveness a few years ago, Mylo Xyloto did well on the charts. The release went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for its first week, pulling 447,000 copies in the process, and went onto earn platinum status in multiple countries.
If you haven't heard "Midnight," hear it here:

The roller coaster ride of weather which has characterized this October will be going from a plateau down a bit of a drop in the days ahead as temperatures and precipitation (mostly times of rain showers) return to the area. In my previous blogs, I made light of the fact that this month was certainly challenging some of the driest of Octobers in the past. Having a little more than doubled the total rainfall from a couple lines of gusty showers that rolled through on Wednesday, we are out of the running for the top 2 spots in the record book for Wausau. However with a change in the weather pattern beginning to take shape, there is potential that we may slide quickly down the list if some rounds of soaking rain hit the region. For the first half of this month, an upper level ridge has dominated our weather, keeping it dry and mainly mild. As we have worked through the 3rd full week of October, the jet stream has temporarily become more zonal (aligned in relatively flat west to east pattern). As you can note below, there are a couple of troughs in play wrapping up the week. One is located in New England and the other just starting to make headway into the Pacific Northwest. What I don't have illustrated on the graphic below is a cut off low that is churning through the southwest states into the southern Plains, which is sparking severe weather in parts of Texas. That low will not have a direct effect on our weather in the days ahead, but will help to start drawing some gulf moisture up through the central Plains. Overall temperatures as of late in Wisconsin have been closer to average, with highs running in the 50s while overnight readings have settled back into the 30s.
So what is in the works for the days ahead? For starters, better odds of rain and a blast of colder Canadian air. No, I'm not hitting the siren to break out the winter weather gear quite yet, but with a trough deepening across the mid-section of the country starting Sunday and lingering for much of the last full week of October, it is going to be chilly in North Central Wisconsin. Daytime highs will go from being in the low to mid 50s Sunday through Tuesday, slipping back into the 40s for the second half of the week. The graphic below spells out what the jet stream pattern will look like for most of next week.
Update: Friday 10/22
A couple things are a given for Tuesday through Thursday of next week. First, a cold front will blast through the Badger State on Tuesday, causing blustery and cooler conditions in the region. Prior to the arrival of this front, Monday features some intervals of sun and clouds with the risk of showers and perhaps a storm increasing for Monday Night. In the wake of this cold front, the jet stream pattern that you see above tells the story. A trough sets up shop for at least a couple days in the Upper Midwest, providing for highs that don't get out of the 40s Wednesday and Thursday. There is still the chance that some rain showers, perhaps mixed with a few flakes could affect the viewing area on the backside of low pressure that is forecast to track east across southern Canada. However, this storm system doesn't appear to pick up a lot of moisture until it enters into the Ohio & Tennessee River Valleys Wednesday and Thursday. Once again, be sure to check back in for more updates as this weather scenario becomes better defined.

This week, the Lafayette City-Parish Council voted unanimously to allow beekeepers to open shop within Lafayette city limits. Before the vote, beekeepers could only operate in the unincorporated areas of Lafayette Parish and were prohibited from keeping bees inside city limits. City officials say there's agricultural need for beekeepers, which is why the issue was presented to the council. Before the vote, beekeeping in the city was illegal for at least 50 years.
Michael Smith is the president of the Acadiana Beekeepers Association and a third generation beekeeper.
"Beekeeping will be good for the environment. Without bees, there would be no pollination and we wouldn't be able to survive," Smith said.
Smith said that with the proper equipment --- and knowing that bees need a water source --- they will stay away from people and just do their job of pollinating the greenery. Smith said bees are not very aggressive.
The beekeeping ordinance includes several requirements to help beekeepers remain good neighbors. It also limits the number of hives based on the size of the lot to no more than two colonies on a quarter acre.
Beekeepers will have to provide a water source to keep thirsty bees from flying around to find one. A hedge or other barrier must be in place a few feet from any beehives near a property line. The barrier will force bees higher into the air as they go looking for forage, making it less likely they'll fly into a neighboring yard.
Not only is this issue being addressed in Acadiana, but also at the White House. President Obama issued a memorandum to create a federal strategy to promote the health of honey bees and other pollinators.
The loss of honey bee colonies has been attributed to a loss of natural forage, inadequate diets, mite infestations and diseases, loss of genetic diversity, and exposure to certain pesticides. The number of managed U.S. honey bee colonies has been in a free fall in the last 60 years, from 6 million colonies (beehives) in 1947 to 4 million in 1970, 3 million in 1990, and just 2.5 million today. Reduced honey bee populations are a real threat to domestic agriculture.
Michael Smith says beekeeping is a great hobby and good for the community. If you'd like to learn more about beekeeping, Smith says the Acadiana Beekeeping Association is a great place to start.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- As winter sets in, many of us are curling up under quilts to fight off the cold. These soft bundles of warmth often get handed down through the generations and become another way to capture our history.
With that in mind, the Kansas Historical Society announced a new exhibit coming next month to the Kansas Museum of History.
Speaking of Quilts: Voices from the Collection and Community will open on January 17, the organization announced on Friday. It will run through August 31, 2014.
The exhibit will be filled with "timeless beauties" as well as modern quilts made as works of art.
It will feature a 1930s applique, a crazy quilt made in a sod house in 1888, a community quilt created a hundred years later, and a wood barn quilt.
Admission will be $8 for adults and $6 for students. Kansas Historical Foundation members and children five and under can get in free.

A coroner has highlighted the dangers of drunken swimming after the drowning of a young man who jumped into Dublin's River Liffey as a stunt to impress his friends on a night out in the city centre.
Vincent Lynch, 24, from Bailieborough, County Cavan, took off his shirt and jumped into the Liffey in the early hours of February 2nd. His friend, David Rooney, then jumped in after him in an effort to rescue him, but he was forced out of the water when his body went into shock due to the cold water.
Lynch's body was later taken from the water by members of the Garda (Irish Police) Water Unit. A postmortem revealed that he had imbibed a high level of alcohol.
In a report quoted in The Irish Times Garda Michael Mullen of the Bridewell Garda station told the inquest that in some places it was the done thing to jump into rivers.

'In places like Galway I've known people to have done this and they have just been lucky,' the Garda said. 'It's alcohol and being young. Things like this happen all too commonly.'
Coroner Doctor Brian Farrell told the inquest he should make young people aware that it was 'a highly dangerous thing to do at any time, but particularly at night with alcohol.'
He recorded a verdict of death by misadventure.

HI Mari,
seeing your pregnancy stick tests reminds me of a funny story.
When I thought I was pregnant, I decided to get a test and take it during work, I went and picked up a hpt. Not wanting anyone in my house to find out or at my work, I tossed out the box in the dumpster, and just kept the sticks. I went potty and took the test.. unfortunately these sticks didn't have the result codes printed on them... so I ended up having to go dumpster diving to get the instructions out of the trash.. good thing = dumpster was empty, Bad thing = I had to practically crawl into the dumpster to get it.. what a site I must have been, feet dangling out of the can while I stretched to reach the bag containing the instructions. LOL I was right the plus meant pregnant.
so keep in mind, keep the instructions until after you take the test!!!

A nonprofit group that supports low-income families who can't afford to bury their children would receive state funds under a budget provision approved by the Iowa House.
While debating the health and human services appropriation Thursday, lawmakers adopted an amendment to provide $100,000 to the organization Sing Me To Heaven. The group offers financial support to families who have lost a child, and members have said fundraising efforts aren't sufficient to help families across the state.
The money would be administered through Iowa's Department of Public Health. Eligible families could then receive up to $2,000 for funeral expenses after a child's death, which the group would dispense.
Rep. Bob Kressig, a Cedar Falls Democrat, says the appropriation is a way to help needy families suffering from loss.

Former United midfielder David McCreery feels his fellow Northern Irishman Jonny Evans is primed to nail down a regular place at the heart of the defence.
Evans has been sidelined with a foot problem but returned in the Under-21s' victory against Aston Villa on Monday and travelled with the squad to Bayern Munich for the Champions League quarter-final second leg.
McCreery believes the final five games will provide the centre-back with the perfect opportunity to show manager David Moyes that he should be a regular choice next term.
"Jonny will definitely be in that defence for a long time, and especially for Northern Ireland as well, it's just that he has had a few injuries," McCreery told ManUtd.com.
"Unfortunately, if you look at it, these have come at an important time as well. Saying that, Jonny has had experience and is not a young lad anymore.
"He's gained that experience by playing at a young age at United and experienced winning things too. I think United could do with him coming back as quickly as possible.
"With Nemanja Vidic leaving, the club needs a good balanced partnership to start next season. Jonny can be part of that and he's got leadership qualities. He's the type of lad who you think is quiet off the pitch but, once he gets on the field, he changes. And he's a lovely lad."

Put a few amateur sluts together and in minutes they'll be getting nasty. Guaranteed. We caught this nasty fucktape these skanks made one day, playing truth or dare in the car. When they got to dude's place they all dropped down and started fucking.
You can never guess which chicks are concealing inner sluts of epic proportions! Dudes were playing touch football with Dee Dee and Marina, who turned out to be total raging nymphos when they quickly stripped down and sucked both their fat cocks.
They don't come any crazier than the amateur sluts in this video dude posted to Mofos today. The babes at his party were so DTF, they played all these raunchy sex games and took turns sucking dick before finally breaking out in a dirty five way orgy!
When my boy Cris hooks up a party we all know its gonna be off the hook. Especially, cause he knows how to entertain his guests with wild bitches who love to get wet!

Ten cool tablet accessories, most under $10
Summary: So you've got a shiny new tablet for work and play. These ten accessories are cheap and will complement the new gadget no matter which brand.
3 of 12Image
iPad Air and Netbook bag
A new tablet is a good excuse for getting a new bag to carry it around. This simple but well designed bag from AmazonBasics is a good fit.
The bag will fit any tablet or laptop up to 10 inches without wasting any room. It's constructed out of water-resistant neoprene with sturdy zippers. The two handles are thick and comfortable while lugging this little bag around town.
It's the perfect size for throwing into a backpack or briefcase, for protection for those not wanting to hand-carry a small bag like this. You can still grab it when heading out of the cubicle for lunch or a meeting.
The inside of the bag is one big, orange pocket for the tablet. Outside, there is one pocket perfectly sized for a phone or small accessories.
The AmazonBasics iPad Air and Notebook bag is only $9.49 from the retailers. It has proven to be a very useful accessory for tablets.
Daffodil Smartphone and Tablet Stand
Many tablet cases have an integrated stand for propping it up when it makes sense. Those who prefer keeping their tablet as thin and light as possible don't use a case, and thus lose the stand.
This ingenious little stand folds up as small as possible, yet forms a universal stand when opened. It is sturdy enough to support the tablet in either portrait or landscape orientations, making it very versatile.
It easily supports the iPad Air in portrait, so it should work for many tablets.
It is currently available from Amazon for $4.45.
Universal Travel Case
Frequent travellers should use a cable stash when on business trips to carry chargers, cables, and other small items. They provide a good way to keep essential support gear for gadgets, and are easily stashed in a corner of a carryon bag.
This case is a good solution as it offers several pockets for keeping the suuport gear organized. It is well constructed and can fit a surprising amount of stuff in such a small package.
The case is available from Amazon for $10.49.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Federal authorities in Las Vegas say they're looking for additional victims after the arrest of a 45-year-old family and marriage counselor on allegations that he tried to solicit a 13-year-old girl for sex.
Ian Alexander Pincombe appeared Wednesday before a U.S. magistrate judge in Las Vegas, who ordered him held pending a May 21 court appearance on a coercion and enticement of a minor charge.
Pincombe could face 10 years to life in prison and a $250,000 fine if he's convicted.
The criminal complaint alleges that Pincombe sent sexually explicit emails and text messages to an undercover Henderson police detective who posed as the girl answering a Craigslist.com ad.
Authorities say Pincombe was arrested May 2 at a Henderson parking lot where he arranged to meet the girl for sex.

THE BEACH BOYS' LEGENDARY 'SMiLE' ALBUM SESSIONS
Never Before Released Original 1966-'67 Album Sessions
Between the summer of 1966 and early 1967, The Beach Boys recorded a bounty of songs and drafts for an album, SMiLE, that was intended to follow the band's 1966 masterpiece, Pet Sounds. The sessions were ultimately shelved, and The Beach Boys' SMiLE has never been released. With the full participation of original Beach Boys Al Jardine, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson, Capitol/EMI has collected and compiled the definitive collection, 'The SMiLE Sessions'.
The SMiLE Sessions presents an in-depth overview of the recording sessions for the album, which achieved legendary, mythical status for music fans around the world.
All of The SMiLE Sessions' physical and digital configurations will include an assembled album of core tracks, while the box set delves much deeper into the sessions, adding early song drafts, alternate takes, instrumental and vocals-only mixes, and studio chatter.
Artwork for all of the SMiLE Sessions has been created with and inspired by Beat-Pop artist Frank Holmes' original 1967 art and booklet designs intended for the SMiLE album. With its three-dimensional shadowbox lid, The SMiLE Sessions box set offers a whimsical peek inside the storied 'SMiLE Shop.'

Re: Diablo 3?

I think I've finally come to terms with the fact that I don't really like playing the melee characters in D3. They're fun when you're leveling, but eventually you hit a wall in terms of damage vs healing and have to really plan out your gear. Might have to go back to my DH and WD, since those playstyles just gel with my approach to the game.

Re: Diablo 3?
on: April 06, 2014, 08:44:06 PM
Totally agree with Stephen. Adventure mode might be the best damn thing about the game. Quick level gains with friends while hunting loot is a real blast. Currently working on a WD as my main, Monk as my alt, and just started a Crusader (though I'm not really digging him that much). My DH started to really bore me. There are some skills that I just don't gel with, so I use the same build over and over.
My only real problem is that the loot seems to have dried up a bit for my WD. Been playing Torment I all damn weekend and only found a few pieces of gear to raise my damage by 10%. Maybe it's just a bad luck spree, but I'm looking at Stephen's damage rating with a huge level of envy right now...
Correction, the Crusader is all sorts of awesome, but he's a bit squishier than I'd like. He can die really freakin' fast if you aren't healing properly, which makes one of the passive skills kind of necessary. I think he'll get a few passes in order to get him up to snuff.

Had a major breakthrough before bed last night. For those having trouble, turn the difficulty down until you reach level 70. As soon as I maxed out my demon hunter, loot started to pour out of mobs like candy and I doubled my toughness in about five minutes. It makes sense when you think about it; you can't get the high level loot until you're high level. Unfortunately, the enemies don't appear to scale to your level and loot despite everything I read during the big patch a few weeks ago. Maybe they only scale to an extent and they actually have hard values as checks? Who knows, but it was really pissing me off until I finally reached 70.
Oh, and adventure mode is a fucking blast! Easily the best addition in the game. It's a whole new economy with tons of things to see and do. Should extend the life of the game almost indefinitely if they're smart about it. Hope they have event weekends and stuff to really keep this aspect going.

Re: Diablo 3?

Had to lower the difficulty down to expert. Sorry, this is shit. Four fucking hours on Act V and I'm barely finding anything to keep me afloat. Maybe you're supposed to play it the first time on normal or hard and then work up to the higher modes, but the fact that we've all played this game up and down is fucking the difficulty royally. There's no difficulty curve, just a straight cliff of, "Fuck you, find better equipment."
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure everything is fine when you take a fresh character through loot 2.0 and get equipment as it's supposed to come now. I'm sure that fixes the difficulty curve. But I'm having the exact same problem I had when 2.0 came out, where the difficulty is crazy hard but the drops even things out. Problem is the higher level drops just aren't happening, and now I've lowered it to the point that they probably won't come. I get that this is a no-win scenario considering how many hours people have put into the game, but right now things are just not fun and it feels like old school inferno where a fucking number wall is keeping me from having fun. I love the new boss and enemy designs and how they force me to stay mobile, but sections like The Ram just feel like artificial equipment barriers.

Re: Diablo 3?
on: March 27, 2014, 07:01:08 PM
Oh, I totally get why the difficulty is the way it is, Stephen, don't get me wrong. They have to craft a level of challenge that satisfies people that have been playing for possibly hundreds of hours, have incredible gear, and maybe tore through all of the levels of torment easily. I'm just saying that there have been areas that feel damn near gated with the gear that I have and things aren't dropping fast enough for me to be competitive on that level. I have to put time into the lower difficulty levels in order to get somewhere on the higher levels of torment. I understand it, but it kinda sucks. The good loot is finally starting to appear, so it shouldn't take too much longer.
And, who would have thought? Stephen has no problem with the difficulty level of a game...
Multiplayer RPGs
Re: Diablo 3?
on: March 27, 2014, 04:58:35 PM
Yeah, I kind of feel like the difficulty in Act V is a mess. Had it on Torment II for a while, but then had to knock it down to I at the halfway point because I was doing nothing against certain mobs. I'm just about at the end and I've hit another wall and will probably have to go down another difficulty level. It's hard because of the new difficulty levels, monsters, and crazy gear some people have from playing vanilla for so long, but this thing feels horribly balanced and all over the place. Hopefully things will get better after a few more hours looking for better loot, or maybe being able to find high level equipment on the previous acts helps. Not quite sure...

Damn straight! Reaper of Souls is fucking brilliant. Can't wait to talk about it.
I really need to finish Sleeping Dogs and Strider before tackling another game. I'm thinking either Yazuka 4 or Deception IV (but I don't know whether I should get the PS3 or Vita version of that game).

I was using a great shield for the whole game, and there were certain enemies and bosses that were somehow damaging me through the shield even though they weren't using an elemental attack. We're talking huge chunks of HP despite having 100% damage reduction, and it was only happening occasionally. As I was telling Stephen yesterday, I think this game has a bit more jank than the others, but its still quite good. I'm really hoping some of the issues with hit boxes and hit detection are addressed in future patches. These were minor annoyances in the regular game, but they WILL get you killed on NG+. Some enemies seem to shrug off their stun animation faster than you can combo, meaning lots of death despite appearing to be able to get an extra hit in.

Re: Dark Souls 2

Ugh, NG+ red phantoms need to be addressed. Not talking about actual players, just the NPCs that populate areas. They break animation frames like crazy and feel incredibly cheap. Really hoping they patch that and the fact that certain attacks can hit you through a shield if you're on an incline. It doesn't feel intentional and makes some of the late game areas feel quite broken.
Seriously, what the fuck with that last section of Dragon Shrine? The giant knights with hammers never stop attacking to the point that it feels glitched, the dragon enemies can just break an animation whenever they feel like, and the giant shield dudes are just all sorts of fucked. I think you can run straight through if you want, but this section had me cursing like a fucking sailor. This was the worst part of the game for me by far. The giant knights with swords were randomly hurting me while fighting on the giant staircase and it got me killed quite a few times. Feels like their engine can't handle inclined plane fighting (remember, I'm a physics teacher!) and it needs to be addressed with a patch.

Finished it last night too, and I think the game picked up quite a bit in the last few areas. I think I know exactly which place you're talking about, Cyril....
Shrine of Amana and those mages, yes? I had to kite the shit out of them with my bow. Feels like arrows are necessary for tricky parts like this and the fucking ogres in Aldia's Keep. God, that hallway was a bitch, especially with the red phantom who showed up because I'm an idiot and won't listen!
The difficulty in the last few zones is absolutely crazy. Most enemies will kill you in one hit or stun lock you, but there are some nice tricks to beating them. I'm really concerned about the ability to summon in NG+, however. I stopped leveling at 112, which is a bit over what I should have done but dammit I wanted my great club to smash shit. The soul memory thing could also prove disastrous if they don't relax the requirement for summoning ranges.

There's a lot of debate right now about whether you're supposed to turn human again after using a white soapstone and clearing a boss. That's the way it works in Demon's Souls, but it seems to be completely random in this one. I've turned human after clearing a boss, after dying, and even after the host died. Then I've had situations where I've helped five people in a row with no change. I can't tell if it's bugged or if it's supposed to be random.

To Deufo:
You can actually eliminate the poison lake when you fight that Medusa-wannabe. Near one of the bonfires is a slightly hidden path that leads up to the main windmill. Look for one of those fast ninja-like things right near an open area you can easily fall down. You have the option to set fire to it if you have a lit torch. Makes that fight way easier.

See, that animation was in Dark Souls, but it certainly didn't last as long. Thankfully, I went with a heavy shield and bastard sword combo with light armor to keep me maneuverable. I can roll when I have to and my damage output is pretty nice. Just got to +8 with 31 strength and I'm doing about 310 damage per hit. Keep in mind that elemental damages now scale with attributes (lightning with faith, for example), so you really can go just about any direction with your character without ending up screwed provided you focus on a couple of attributes. I put my adaptability around 25 so my speed is around 96. I can't really notice a difference, but I'm sure it's there when it comes to attack animations. Also, you can roll faster after a swing than raising your shield, which I have to constantly remember on certain boss fights.

The biggest change in the combat mechanics IMO is how you don't immediately raise your shield anymore. You have to be so damn careful now because it's almost an action now, as there's some animation frames you have to go through in order to reach blocking status. That was killing me over and over again at the start, but I've gotten pretty used to it so far.

Silk smooth beancurd
I always thought the beancurd at Rocher Road is the best, till I found this Selegie Soya Bean. It's equally smooth as the one in Rocher, for a price of $1, really very affordable! It's less crowded and humid compared to the outlet at Rocher Road, I can enjoy my beancurd and drinks at comfort. It has enough space for big group and family.

Middle school students tell judge actions were part of a gang initiation.
Spotsylvania Juvenile and Domestic Relations Judge Phillip U. Fines then certified four of the six charges against Ellis, 19, to the grand jury. Those charges were two counts of taking indecent liberties with a minor and one count each of aggravated sexual battery and object sexual penetration.
One victim, a 13-year-old, told the judge that in the early morning hours of Oct. 6, Ellis told her she had to be "sexed-in" to become a member of the Crips.
She said she told him she wanted to join, she said, so he had sex with her in the kitchen of her parents' home while her friend was sitting next to her. Ellis' girlfriend was in the living room of the same house, asleep on the couch, the victim said.
The victim's friend, a 12-year-old, told the judge that Ellis also touched her inappropriately that night, against her will.
She said he told her he had to do it to gain her trust.
"I told him no," she said. "But I was scared."
The 12-year-old was adamant that she did not want any sexual relationship with Ellis and had no desire to become a member of the gang.
But the 13-year-old said she agreed to have sex with Ellis that morning and he tied a "flag" around her thigh. The flag, she explained, was a blue bandana used to signify that you are a member of the Crips.
Because the 13-year-old girl testified that the sex was consensual, prosecutor Brian Boyle and Ellis' defense attorney, Stacey Garcia, agreed that it was appropriate for Fines to drop the two additional charges against Ellis: a second count each of aggravated sexual battery and object sexual penetration. The only charge pending in relation to that victim is the indecent liberties charge because the girl is a minor.
Ellis' case will go before the grand jury May 18.
