Made possible through the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation and the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the packages include:
n A $75,000 TDEC grant that will replace the Cleveland Community Center roof with an energy-efficient thermoplastic polyolefin membrane topping as a part of the city's ongoing efforts to reduce energy waste at the recreational facility through cutting excessive electricity usage.
n A $495,000 TDOT grant that will pay for concrete paths, new sidewalks and pedestrian crossing improvements in the general vicinity of Blythe Ferry Road, North Ocoee Street and Ocoee Crossing to create an east-west spur connector that will serve as the newest tentacle of the ever-growing Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway network.
"One of the things that's exciting about being governor is seeing communities doing all they can to make [theirs] the kind of community where people want to live," Haslam told a group of newsmen following Thursday's festivities at the Community Center which is located off Church Street on the southern end of town. "We want Tennessee to be the place where people want their children and grandchildren to live ... but also, where businesses say, 'We want to come invest there because our employees like being there.'"
The first-term governor, a former Knoxville mayor who was sent to Nashville by voters in 2010, pointed out, "All this adds up to making Tennessee the best place to live in the country."
Of the new Community Center roof, Haslam laughed at himself for not being able to pronounce the entire name of the material — "thermoplastic polyolefin membrane" — but Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland threw him an assist by simply calling it "energy-efficient."
But the governor was well-versed in the numbers. Projected savings created by the roof are estimated to be more than $323,000 over a 20-year period.
The TDEC grant money is made available through an April 2011 Clean Air Act settlement with the Tennessee Valley Authority. Under the Consent Decree, the state of Tennessee will receive $26.4 million over five years to fund clean air programs. As part of the grant program's initial phase, $5.3 million in Clean Energy Grants was awarded in 2012 to a variety of projects within state government, municipalities, utilities, state colleges, universities and communities throughout Tennessee.
In a second cycle of Clean Energy Grants, Haslam will be announcing 19 recipients. The Cleveland award is the third such announcement.
The major TDOT award, given to the local Greenway, is an Enhancement Grant whose origin dates back to the 1990s when members of U.S. Congress chose to reallocate funds to state governments that could be shared with city and county jurisdictions "... to strengthen the historical, cultural, aesthetic and environmental aspects of the nation's transportation system," according to a published grant briefing.
Since the launch of these Enhancement Grants, Tennessee communities have been awarded more than $274 million for initiatives such as restoration of historic transportation facilities, bike and pedestrian trail construction, landscaping and other nontraditional transportation projects.
"Enhancement Grants are just what they sound like," Haslam explained. "Communities ... can't always afford to do everything they'd like to do. These grants are applied for by communities all across the state. We take those and evaluate the proposals. I can assure you there are a lot more applications than there are awards."
A few city workers who played a hand in Cleveland's application packages were Patti Pettit, director of Parks & Recreation; Teresa Torbett, who works with Community Development Block Grant initiatives; and Timothy Passmore, a municipal intern, as well as others.
In his opening comments, Rowland credited the philanthropy of Cleveland business leaders Stan and Brenda Lawson who donated property that is making the Greenway spur possible.
The Lawsons attended Haslam's presentation at the Community Center.
"The Greenway has become a very integral part of our community," Brenda Lawson told the Cleveland Daily Banner. "Any time we can help with anything that helps the community, especially if it helps the kids get out and exercise more and helps to improve their health ... then that's great. It's great for anybody to pitch in and help."
Stan Lawson added, " ... Our contribution is just a piece of the puzzle." He said the vast Greenway Network continues to grow and the more it expands, the more neighborhoods and destination points will be connected.
"I think [the Greenway] is wonderful," Brenda added. "It has had an impact on individuals in the community who didn't have any other means of getting any exercise, or getting out and enjoying our city."
Her husband and business partner pointed out, "[Mouse Creek] used to be a creek with tires in it and trash. Now, the Greenway has helped."
For one, the Greenway has improved access to the creek to allow workers and volunteers to help keep it clean, he said. And two, the well-kept linear park is an encouragement for community groups to pool their resources to keep Mouse Creek as clean as possible, he added.
"It kind of self-polices itself," Stan pointed out. "The creek is a lot cleaner now. You couldn't even get to it before [the Greenway came along]."
Cameron Fisher, longtime chairman of the Greenway board of directors, said this is the first time the fitness trail has received grant monies for expanding in any direction other than north and south.
"This is a spur," he said of the state-funded project. "It doesn't help us to get from the Village Green to the Hiwassee River, but it does help to connect neighborhoods. That's the big thing. It will help to connect hundreds of families."
He said areas like Bowman Hills, Bowman Forest, Edgewood, a variety of apartments and others will soon have a direct connection to the existing Greenway via Ocoee Crossing, and the property rights donation granted by the Lawsons.
Fisher said the east-west connector from the Blythe Ferry Road area to the Greenway has been discussed for years, but the priority has centered on extending the trail north and south. Before its four-mile length can be further extended, several property easements must be negotiated on either end. Settlements had already been reached — compliments of the Lawsons — for the east-west spur so the decision was made to shift directions for now.
"I'm excited because this is the first time we've actually gone off our existing Greenway," Fisher said. "People sometimes think we're only supposed to go north or south, but why can't we go east or west? There's people there, too."
The Greenway's popularity is growing as much as a connector of destination points and neighborhoods as it is a recreational or fitness facility, he pointed out.
Pettit, whose Parks & Recreation Department is benefiting from both state grants, said she is excited about the potential for each. The Cleveland Community Center's new roof will be a money-saver and the addition to the Greenway Network will further grow community and neighborhood access, she said.
She credited the work of city staff members who worked to develop the grant application packages.
Also on hand for Thursday's announcements were three of the four members of Bradley County's legislative delegation. All praised Haslam for his commitment to communities and his vision for improving quality of life across Tennessee.
"We appreciate him being here this morning and also for bringing these checks," said State Sen. Mike Bell, R-Riceville who represents the 9th Senatorial District.
In addressing the large crowd, Bell stressed, "I want you all to remember, this is our money anyway. This is coming back to us, whether from the federal government or state government. This is taxpayer money that is being used ... in ways to enhance our communities."
Bell said he and his wife use the Greenway regularly.
State Rep. Kevin Brooks, R-Cleveland who represents the 24th Legislative District and who serves as Assistant Majority Leader in the state House, described Thursday as a family day.
"Today, we are celebrating families," he said. He described Haslam, Bell, state Sen. Todd Gardenhire (10th Senatorial District), state Rep. Eric Watson and himself as family men who understand the value of quality time with their loved ones. Use of the Greenway and the Community Center are family opportunities, he suggested.
Brooks concurred with Bell's assessment.
"This is taxpayer money that is being returned to the families," he said. "My family and I enjoy the Greenway. My wife encourages us to get out and walk regularly."
Watson, R-Cleveland who represents the 22nd Legislative District and who chairs the House Judiciary, praised Haslam for his commitment to visiting the state's smaller communities. He mentioned two that are part of his district — Ducktown and Decatur.
"He's the only governor I've ever known, and I've talked to these other gentlemen ... the only governor who has ever taken the time to visit all the districts that we represent," Watson said.
Watson called the pair of project-launching grants a product of teamwork between city, county and state governments — as made possible by Haslam's vision for improving the quality of life for all Tennessee residents.
(Editor's Note: In his "Keeping It Green" column to be published in Sunday's edition of the Cleveland Daily Banner, Greenway Board Chairman Cameron Fisher provides a detailed description of the course to be taken by the new east-west spur connector. It reads, "The new path ... will begin (or end) at the current Greenway in Tinsley Park at the pedestrian bridge where it crosses Mouse Creek. It will continue east around the main ballfields following Fillauer Branch, which empties into Mouse Creek near that location. The spur will leave Tinsley Park at the Keith Street entrance where it will travel under Keith toward the BI-LO Shopping Center. It will continue to follow Fillauer Branch, until connecting with a new sidewalk near Logan's and paralleling Ocoee Crossing. The spur will terminate at the corner of North Ocoee Street and Ocoee Crossing. New sidewalks on the west side of North Ocoee are also part of the project.")

They sound cool.
Check 'em out (except you can't, because the big brains at Matty didn't include a photo to show us...)...
Despite not having any idea what they look like or how they'll actually work yet, I am pretty psyched to be getting something better than what came before! Here's hoping they are actually CLEAR this time
They sound cool.
"Problems Weaver?"
I noticed that too! It'd be nice to have something that has the capability of holding Swift Wind…but anything new is welcomed!
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
I asked over on the Matty forums for some more info. You know, like the price point, how many per package, etc.
You know, the stuff that should have been mentioned in this news announcement... LOL.
Can't wait, didn't buy the first time around but maybe these will be better. Just a month off you would think they would be able to take a picture before announcing!

Nice! Now maybe I can take Buzz Off and Sorceress off the fishing line that I have them on that's attached to the ceiling!

Cool! I need some flight stands.
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. ― Apple Inc.
Man, I hope they are good! I did break down and get a few of the old ones. And they aren't bad. They just feel kind of bulky and cheap.
Coming Soon. My line of 5.5'' action figures. EonQuest.com
Screw Flight Stands, fishing line can do that trick. I'm pumped for Octavia!!!
I was curious if someone who has purcahsed the flight stands before could give some more info on these.
How many "stands" do the packs come with? I know the v1.0 stands came with "I believe 3" of clips of the various clips for different figure lines of figures.
But how many of the "Stand/bases" do the flight stand packs come with in each pack?

Nifty! I actually like the old ones and use them still, but I'll get some of these.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
I am definitely gonna get some of the new stands. That picture of Octavia looks great! Pretty excited about her.
"I summon forth the portal to the terrible dimension of Despondos!"
I have no idea how to use them to help figures to stand still. They are too high for that. You can use the small clip around one arm but I am not sure how it would look. They are perfect for Stratos and Buzz Off, And I managed to use them for Draego-man. Hope the new ones would be better.
Hopefully they'll be adjustable so future females like Queen Angella and Flutterina can use them to 'fly' as the likes of Stratos and Buzz-Off could.
Also, Octavia looks phenomenal! Not bothered about the pizza between her legs, as it's become known, although I hope they sort that out for Glimmer...
Most-wanted MOTUC: Granita - Hunga the Harpy - The Melog - Melaktha - Vultak - Dylamug - Crita - Sprag, Sprocker and Spritina - the Twiggets King Ahgo
I can't wait for these! I bought one set a while ago, and Stratos, Buzz-Off and Draego-Man have been hogging them.
I'm excited to see these! Maybe my Stratos, Buzz Off, Sy Klone et all will finally take flight! Not only that, but hopefully you can use the stands to get some dynamic battle scenes with the figures.
I'm excited that we are getting more of these....presumably new and improved as well! I got some before and like them pretty well, and would love to have some more.
I'll see about them, I don't care, care for Stratos, find it hard to pose him in a decent pose standing in the process, the stands may actually help me enjoy him a little more. But as far as anyone else they are just standing where and how I want them....Maybe TOD Sorceress....but if they come 3 to a pack....It would kind of be a waste of money for me, as I only need one stand.
Gotta love inconsistency, make Strobo and Icarius with a solid pair of briefs yet can't do something similar for the girls that need it, or anyone else for that matter.....
Recent.... Arrow, Tung Lashor & Bow
Coming.... Mermista

Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has appointed Australia's first female governor-general after seeking advice from two powerful women - the Queen and Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
Prominent lawyer, academic and women's activist Quentin Bryce will replace Major General Michael Jeffery as the Queen's representative in September.
Ms Bryce, the current governor of Queensland, will be the first woman to hold the role in 107 years.
Women's groups said Australia was finally moving into the 21st century, while Ms Bryce said her appointment showed women could aspire to anything.
Mr Rudd said it was time a woman held the job.
"It's taken us 107 years, it's been a while, it's good that it's happened," Mr Rudd told reporters.
But he laughed off questions about whether it was also time for a female prime minister.
"I think our arrangements at present are great," he said.
"We've got a great deputy prime minister and I've been chatting to Julia about this appointment as well."
Nor would he be drawn on whether Ms Bryce would be the last governor-general, with the republic debate back on the public agenda.
"The move to a republic is not a top-order question for the government. There are many other priorities around," Mr Rudd said.
"The government's commitment to a republic remains clearcut ... and I'm sure that in the course of this year ... that the debate on our future constitutional arrangements will continue, as it should."
Australian Greens leader Bob Brown said the appointment well and truly brought Australia out of the 20th century mindset of the former Howard government.
"We look forward to the potential for her passing the baton on to the first president of the republic of Australia," Senator Brown said.
Mr Rudd, who discussed the appointment with the Queen at Windsor Castle last week, denied he was favouring his home state of Queensland with a "pineapple coup".
Ms Bryce had spent much of her working career in Sydney and was known across the nation for her work as sex discrimination commissioner, he said.
"I'm sure her excellency intends to be a governor-general for all Australians," he said.
Ms Bryce posed for the cameras with Mr Rudd on Sunday afternoon and spoke enthusiastically about her new role.
"I grew up in a little bush town in Queensland with 200 people," she said.
"And what this day says to Australian women and Australian girls is that you can do anything, you can be anything, and it makes my heart sing to see women in so many diverse roles across our country in Australia."
Women's groups said the Rudd government was starting to look like a 21st century government.
"It means we are catching up with New Zealand," former Victorian premier and Emily's List founder Joan Kirner said.
"All we have got to have now is a female chief justice and a female prime minister.
"It means, after 200 years we are finally beginning to reflect the diversity of Australia."
Maj Gen Jeffery wished Ms Bryce well and promised to continue to carry out his constitutional and public responsibilities with pride, dedication and energy in his remaining four months in office.
Ms Bryce and her husband, Adjunct Professor Michael Bryce AM AE, have two daughters, three sons and five grandchildren.

Imagine everything you do in a day.
Now, try to imagine how much CO2 is emitted in the process. It's hard to envision, right? Now, consider these facts:
Lighting makes up between 5-10% of a household's energy consumption in Canada
Car emissions account for 30% of Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions with the average car releasing 5 TONS of C02 on a yearly basis
Four-wheel drive increases fuel consumption by 5-10% that of two-wheel drive
Every Canadian emits an average of 21.9 tons per year – that's the equivalent of roughly two school buses!
So, how do you avoid using things like transportation, lighta, and other household appliances? The truth of the matter is, while you can make conscious decisions to use less, some carbon emitting activities can't be easily eliminated from our day.
Myclimate is a non-profit Swiss foundation that recognizes this dilemma and offers a solution: buying carbon offsets. A carbon offset is a monetary Read more…

As explained in my last telegram (No. 52), I had brought before both the Prime Minister and Mr. Pearson the matters contained in your telegram to London, No. 17, by hand-delivery letter, since it was impossible to obtain an interview with either on the Saturday morning on which your telegram arrived. This method was suggested by Mr. Pearson himself on the telephone when he indicated that he regretted being unable to see me at that moment but stated that he would consider the contents of your telegram over the weekend and would see me later. Both letters were forwarded on the same day as the arrival of your telegram and both were acknowledged in writing without comment.
3. I was not surprised that no comment was received, since the press had already reported, before the arrival of your telegram the fact that the United States resolution [8] had been passed, substantially in its original form, by the Security Council and the fact that Canada had supported the United States resolution.
4. In view, however, of your subsequent telegram No. 31 [9], I sought a further interview with Mr. Pearson and was able to obtain one after he had delivered his maiden speech in the House on the subject of the North Atlantic Security Pact.
5. Mr. Pearson was not anxious to comment on the contents of the Department's telegram to London since, as he stated, he presumed that he had been given a copy for information only. In the course of conversation, he stated that, if desired, he could give his personal reactions on the contents. Emphasizing that he was speaking personally only, he said that he felt sorry that it was considered necessary to send the cable to London. In his own words, he 'felt that British policy in respect of this very difficult problem had been constructive and that Canada had found itself in general agreement with the British approach to this problem. Furthermore, Canada had worked with the United Kingdom, the United States and others on the resolution before the Security Council and he felt that the resolution, as finally adopted, while it was American in its inception, had been discussed by the Americans with other delegations (including the Canadians) and its final form reflected the views of several members of the Council.
As the result of changes made in the resolution in the course of these discussions, it became possible to obtain the necessary agreement.' 6. Mr. Pearson added, 'Canada thinks that the resolution, as eventually passed, was the most effective action that the Security Council could have taken in all the circumstances of the case'.
7. Though the results of this interview were disappointing, I felt that the reaction was, in some respects, inevitable since, by the time the telegram to London arrived, Canada had committed itself to a line of action in the Council and it was unlikely that Mr.
Pearson would be in a position to make any statement of a kind other than that which he made to me.
8. The reasons behind the Canadian reaction on this matter will have been made clear to you from my despatch mentioned above and there is at the moment nothing which I can usefully add to that report. The Australian point of view was clearly and firmly put to the Canadian authorities in the earlier stages of the discussion before the Security Council. As you will see from earlier communications, it was received with courtesy but circumstances existing before the Indonesian problem, in its latest form, arose, made the Canadian reaction to it more or less inevitable. I cannot too strongly emphasize that in the present stage of negotiations directed towards the North Atlantic Security Pact, it is probable that the Canadian Government will regard almost any other international question as secondary to it. It appears that Dutch timing of the 'police action' was largely determined by that preoccupation of the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada herself.
9. I shall follow up the matter in view of the Security Council's decision that certain action must be taken by 18th February and will endeavour to find what the Canadian reaction on this aspect will be.
10. I shall communicate on this later by telegram.

Poor Man's GWO/Analytics Integration
A while back, ROI Revolution (a Google Website Optimizer Authorized Consultant) came up with a technique for importing GWO information into GA (Google Analytics). This way, you can see how different variations of a web page/site will affect the various numbers that GA measures.
The original technique relied on munging through the __utmx cookie that the control script sets. I improved upon this by describing a technique which uses some new functionality I incorporated into siteopt.js. Their most recent description of this technique is here.
I've been giving some thought to this technique and wanted to 1) Improve the technique a bit, and 2) Suggest an alternative which has some significant advantages.
First, an look at my script for the ROI technique. The script I suggested is (note, all these scripts assume that ga.js and the control script have already been included on the page):
<script type="text/javascript">
if (utmx('combination') != undefined) {
var l = document.location, s = l.search;
s = s + (s.length ? '&' : '?') + 'combination=' + utmx('combination');
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXX-Y");
pageTracker._trackPageview(l.pathname + s);
This suffers from two things. First, global variables are introduced into the namespace of the page and, second, there is no specification of which experiment is annotating the hits. So, consider the following, modified, script:
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(){try {
if (utmx('combination') != undefined) {
var l = document.location, s = l.search;
s = s + (s.length ? '&' : '?') + 'combination=' + utmx('combination');
s += '&experiment=MyExperiment';
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXX-Y");
pageTracker._trackPageview(l.pathname + s);
Here I've enclosed the script in an anonymous function and a block to catch exceptions (should ga.js fail to load), and also added a query param describing the experiment being tested to disambiguate one experiment from another.
With this technique, you can go into your content report in GA and see how many visitors assigned to the various experiment variations actually end up visiting pages on your site.
This technique requires you to modify the GA tracking script on each page of your site which you want to track against an experiment. If you've already instrumented your whole site with GA tags, it might be cumbersome to edit them all, especially when you'll need to modify them again when you end and experiment, or start a new one.
Experimenting on the entire Site
The answer I've come up with to deal with these issues is to integrate GWO experiment information a different way. Instead of modifying each page URL with the experiment information, you can set the GA user variable with experiment information (assuming you are not already using the variable for other purposes). Consider the following script:
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXX-Y");
pageTracker._setVar("MyExperiment-" + utmx('combination'));
} catch(err) {}
First note that this script does not call _trackPageView. Its job is not to track anything, but to set up the user variable to contain information about an experiment. This variable is stored in the __utmv cookie, and every subsequent call to _trackPageView in a tracking script will communicate the value of this cookie to Google servers and annotate the page view with the value in the cookie.
This script needs to placed in a particular place in your pages. First, it must only be located in GWO test pages which have already executed the control script. The script uses the function utmx, which is defined by siteopt.js, which is obtained through the control script. Next, this script needs to be executed before any calls to _trackPageView in any other GA tracking scripts. It also needs to be after the inclusion of ga.js.
I recommend that you place this script after the ga.js inclusion script and before the GA tracking script in the following manner:
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXX-Y");
pageTracker._setVar("MyExperiment-" + utmx('combination'));
} catch(err) {}</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXX-Y");
} catch(err) {}</script>
This way, the variable gets set before the tracking script which will use the variable annotate this page visit. Furthermore any visits that this visitor makes in the future (for up to an absence of two years) will also be annotated.
You can see this in action here:
Test Page
Special Consideration for A/B Experiments
The technique described above works for multi-variate experiments. That is, experiments which do not use redirection to present different pages to visitors. If you were to use this technique on GWO A/B experiment, the code which sets the user defined variable would sometimes not get executed because the original page would redirect to an alternate page, skip the setting on the original page for one which does not have the Control Script, and can't use the "utmx" function.
Now, there are is a way to have the Control Script on A/B alternate pages. I'll save that technique for another article. However, there is a way to get the above technique to work A/B (redirection) experiments. The idea is to set the user defined variable before the redirection on the original page takes place. To do this, consider the following A/B Control Script:
Notice that this is really two scripts. The first script is that which, among other things, defines the "utmx" function. The second, using the "utmx" function, is the one responsible for performing the redirect to an alternative page, should it be required.<script>
function utmx_section(){}function utmx(){}
(function(){var k='3923492669',d=document,l=d.location,c=d.cookie;function f(n){
if(c){var i=c.indexOf(n+'=');if(i>-1){var j=c.indexOf(';',i);return c.substring(i+n.
length+1,j<0?c.length:j)}}}var x=f('__utmx'),xx=f('__utmxx'),h=l.hash;
d.write('<sc'+'ript src="'+
+new Date().valueOf()+(h?'&utmxhash='+escape(h.substr(1)):'')+
'" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></sc'+'ript>')})();
It is between these two scripts where you will need to include ga.js and set the user defined variable in order for this technique to work for A/B experiments. So in the A/B case, move that code from just before the tracking script to be between these scripts.
Experiment without GWO reports
When you normally set up a GWO experiment, you are asked to place test and goal page tracking scripts on your test page and goal page. This allows GWO to track when visitors hit your test and goal pages, and render a GWO report.
If you only plan to look at the GA reports for this experiment, you can forgo placing the GWO tracking scripts. Instead, you need only place the control script and user defined variable script in any pages which have experiment variations. In fact, you can place these scripts on pages which do not have any experiment variations. The effect of doing this is that visitors to these non-variation pages will have their experiment variations chosen for them before they encounter any test pages. This means that you will be able to track their activity before they encounter experiment variations.
This is useful in that, if you do this at every entry point to your site, all tracking events will be tagged with experiment information.
Report Segmentation
So, once you get all this set up, how do get experiment segmented reports? On each report, there is a Dimension dropdown:
This will show a report broken down by the values of the user defined variable. You can use this to get an idea of how individual variations of your site influence this GA stat.
Note that this is not like a GWO report. These are just raw numbers and are not analyzed for confidence with respect to which variation is statistically significant.
Thank you for the excellent post. I've been using ROI Revolutions getCombo script, but your edits and using User Defined field would result in an overall cleaner output (not duplicating pageviews for example)
I've tried to implement your method using external files but with no luck as of yet (please forgive my ignorance).
I've 1) Activated the var _utcp 2) Run the MVT Head Script 3) Started and Ended the section swap 4) Run the standard GA 5) GWO Track Variation Pageview.
However, the custom variable does not seem to pass: http://www.geocities.com/nik7k7/set_var/test1.html
What do you think about using Event Tracking once it is available for everyone?
Also nice updates to the ROIRevolution code, but I'm woundering if it should be altered by removing the query params which represent the combination and experiment (and be replaced with some made up virtual path name), because if the "Exclude URL Query Parameters:" GA feature is used there will be multiple pageviews recorded for a single pageview of the test I believe.
I'm curious, how would this code need to be modified to accomodate the Website Optimizer tracking script being executed via an onclick event, such as from clicking a link? In that case, the ga.js tracking would already have occurred, right?
Am I correct in presuming this method would not work with onclick?
If not, what method would allow you to track onclick to Website Optimizer and both onlick and page views to Analytics?
Also, I found that it was possible to track conversions for GWO and GA by using GA onclick for example, and placing the GWO conversion code in a div wrapper around the GA Code.
I've been thinking of using the __utmv cookie value instead, so that's set with setVar. This value records all experiment ids and combinations. A small catch though is that is doesn't include the combination id, but the permutation string, e.g. 1-3-2 for a test with 3 sections and where each number represent the chosen section variant.
What do you think about this suggestion?
have you ever tried to get equivalent reports from IndexTools (Yahoo Web Analytics) instead of GA?
kind regards,
I would suggest moving the pageTracker function outside of the utmx function check. That way if they have GA on the page but GWO failed, they still get a GA tracking hit.
Here is the code:
(function(){try {
var l = document.location, s = l.search;
if (utmx('combination') != undefined) {
s = s + (s.length ? '&' : '?') + 'combo=' + utmx('combination_string');
s += '&test=TestName';
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXX-Y");
pageTracker._trackPageview(l.pathname + s);
I have a couple of comments:
using _setVar
As you know this is a persistent cookie, so when the visitor is labelled on their first visit as e.g. "MyExpertiment-0-1-3", on their next visit they will already have this label - even if they receive a new combination. So returning visits must be discarded with this method.
Experiment without GWO reports
"This means that you will be able to track their activity before they encounter experiment variations."
With this method, have you given any thought to catering for visits who do NOT go on to see a test page?
First, our code did not inflate pageviews (the very first version two years ago may have), as it simply adds a query parameter to the end of the GA code that's already on the page. Second, we have always recommended excluding this information from your main profiles and only looking at the data in a separate profile used only for GWO - preferably using the Site Search report.
We've certainly used the User Defined variable as well, although we tend to use that variable for other things.
Thanks for the code updates Eric! It's nice to see this go from a hack to a cleaner and more official implentation.

The story of Legedu Naanee's arrest is borderline comical, just because Naanee did his best impression of a clichéd dumbass professional athlete.
At this point, beat writers can pretty much use the following template to quickly and efficiently write a brief story on an arrested player. It would go something like this:
(Insert name) was arrested early yesterday morning in downtown (insert city). He was charged with (public intoxication/DUI/domestic battery/assault).
According to police, (insert name) was told to leave (a scene of a crime/a downtown nightclub/his girlfriend's apartment complex) when he began to hurl insults at the arresting officer. (Insert name) had a strong odor of (alcohol/marijuana/alcohol and marijuana), police said.
When he refused to (leave the scene of the crime/undergo a field sobriety test), (insert name) was placed under arrest.
As he was being arrested, (insert name) said, according to police, "Do you know who I am? I'm an NFL player and I'm going to sue your ass."
That last quote was taken straight from Kevin Acee's San Diego Union-Tribune story on the arrest of Naanee, who was taken down for public intoxication and resisting arrest early Saturday morning in Indianapolis (presumably downtown).
These guys will never learn that, a) being a professional athlete will usually only encourage the arresting officer to bring the heat, and b) everything they say while being arrested can and will be used against them in both a court of law and the court of public opinion. Naanee had to realize that his comments would be game for publishing, and now he looks like even more of a tool.
Acee mentions that Naanee is probably done in a Chargers uniform. Considering his injury history, the way in which he failed to step up in the absence of Vincent Jackson in 2010 and this arrest, he might have a hard time finding work elsewhere.

Princess Cruises Launches In-House Spas
In what amounts to a revolutionary change in the way spas operate on cruise ships – at least on larger ones – Princess Cruises will design and operate its own facilities on its two newest ships.
Launching on Caribbean Princess, which debuts in April, and Sapphire Princess, which sails its inaugural in June, Jeff Kohl, director of spa operations for the cruise line, says the new approach – a test program at this point – aims to "differentiate our spas." In addition to designing the facility and the treatment menus, the company will also hire and train its staffers. The company will continue to maintain its concessionaire relationship with Steiner Leisure, the dominant spa operator in the cruise industry, for facilities onboard its other vessels.
Princess isn't embarking on this project completely alone. The cruise line has created exclusive-at-sea partnerships with cosmetic manufacturers. These include Phytomer (specializing in marine-based cosmetics, such as seaweed wraps), Carita Paris (offering hair care products) and CreativeSpa (supplying manicure- and pedicure-related ingredients). The manufacturers will also be part of the staff training process. Employees of these two salons will be hired by Princess and will be offered standard spa staffer at-sea contracts.
Specifically, how will the in-house versions of Princess' Lotus Spa on Caribbean Princess and Sapphire Princess be different from the company's Steiner-affiliated Lotus Spas?
*Treatment menus will feature, in addition to traditional services like facials and massages, more exotic-than-usual at-sea spa fare (inspired by leading land-based resorts). For instance, a manicure may include a hand/lower arm seaweed wrap. A pedicure could also feature an aromatherapy wrap.
*Princess will be incorporating the spa into other areas of the ship. Kohl says, for example, that the ships' food and beverage departments – which already, as a rule, offer healthy choice items on dining menus, will provide in-spa nibbles that will raise awareness of light-n-healthy eating options. Spa products, all of which will be exclusive to Princess Cruises, will be sold in the ship's shops (as well as in the facility's own boutique). Pairing up with the entertainment division, passengers can, among other options, take a yoga class while accompanied by a live string quartet or engage in pool aerobics to the tunes of a Caribbean steel drum band. Ship photographers will offer before-and-after services to those opting for makeover treatments.
*In a first for the industry, the spas on Sapphire and Caribbean Princess will offer advance on-line booking for some appointments (though non-web-friendly folk should know that some treatment options and times will be set aside for onboard sign-up).

Polk County Junior High 4-H
The Polk County Junior High 4-H livestock judging team traveled to Knoxville Sept. 26 to participate in the Eastern Region 4-H livestock Judging Contest. Team members included Ally Morrow, Keir Beth Cox, Mackenzie Lanning and Marissa Milen. The team placed live animal including Angus Heifers, Market Hogs, Ewes, Goats, and Market Lambs. Each class contains four animals which the 4-H members ranks and places each animal. The team members then have a written test over two of the classes that they have placed. The Polk County Team placed fifth in regional competition out of 18 other teams, which was a great accomplishment for a first year team. The team was coached by 4-H volunteer Joel Cox. Team members are, from left, Keri, Mackenzie, Marissa, and Ally. After the competition, the team was treated to dinner compliments of the Polk County 4-H Support Club.

Building self confidence is important for everyday life and for achieving any task or goal. How can you build self confidence, especially if you lack self confidence?
Stop judging yourself and comparing yourself to others, especially comparing yourself to strong and successful people. You might feel that you don't measure up with them, and this will further weaken your self confidence. Accept yourself as you are, don't compare yourself to others and start working on building self confidence. If you lack this ability it won't appear suddenly. You need to develop it.
Self confidence is the way you look at yourself, and has nothing to with what people think of you. It is an attitude, and attitudes can be changed.
Tips for building self confidence:
1. Never tell yourself "I can't."
2. Always tell yourself "I can."
3. Understand that no matter how many times you fail, there is always the next time.
4. Whenever you find yourself behaving with lack of self confidence, analyze what happened, and what caused you to behave in such a way.
5. When you catch yourself thinking how weak you are and lacking in self confidence, immediately start telling yourself the opposite.
6. Think of situations in which you usually display lack of confidence, but now, in your mind, visualize yourself acting with confidence.
7. Repeat several times a day affirmations such as:
"Self confidence is growing stronger and stronger in me."
"I am able to deal confidently with every situation."
"I feel strong and able to assert myself."
8. Willpower and self discipline are very important for developing inner strength, assertiveness and confidence. There are special exercises to develop these abilities, and also a complete course to boost up your willpower and self discipline.
9. Don't postpone or evade difficult and unpleasant tasks, because they can teach you inner strength.
10. Before performing an activity that requires displaying strength, assertiveness or confidence, take a few deep breaths and relax your body.

"They definitely don't use their imaginations," Morgan says. "I know our situation -- four young girls playing metal music -- definitely isn't normal. But I think it's not very original what some people are doing. They're treating us like we'll never be seen again and we're just a novelty -- like, 'How cute. Look at all the little Kitties.'"
In other words, these Canadian pubescents -- each is reportedly 18 or less -- find themselves in a classic pop-music conundrum: The attributes that initially helped them stand out from the pack and boosted their debut album, 1999's Spit, past the 500,000-disc sales mark have become straitjackets. And no wonder, since their story overflows with irony richer than the next man Anna Nicole Smith will marry. Case in point: The group is managed by Morgan and Mercedes's parents, Dave and Dee Landers, who also serve as tour chaperones, watching proudly at shows as Morgan repeatedly refers to fans as "motherfuckers" and belts out tender ditties such as "Get Off (You Can Eat a Dick)." That's enough to shake a me-owww! or two out of even the most sympathetic scribe. Morgan's accent is pretty adorable, too. Love the way she pronounces "out" as "oat."
But while these characteristics threaten to turn Kittie into a cartoon (say, Josie and the Pussycats in Hell), a conversation with Morgan tends to undermine such an impression. In discussing her music, she comes across as uncommonly intelligent not just for someone her age, but for anyone in her chosen field. And if that sounds like a backhanded compliment -- after all, metal isn't renowned for spawning lotsa budding Jean-Paul Sartres -- it's not intended that way. For example, she notes that "Do You Think I'm a Whore," among Kittie's most notorious offerings, is actually about "perspective, and the way people perceive others by exterior factors only. It's about drawing conclusions before actually digging into the meat of the matter. It's for the kind of people who think, 'This song is about sex' just because it's got the word 'whore' in it."
Such thoughtfulness and seriousness of purpose would likely cheer even the most conservative commentator if Morgan weren't so fond of profanities, nihilism and guitar squawk amped up to the pain threshold. But that's part of the package, ladies and gents, and she views any guardian of morality who can't understand such contradictions with suspicion.
"I think those kind of people are looking at it from the wrong view," she says. "They're not out in the mosh pits actually seeing the people and their faces -- and I cannot believe how many happy faces I've seen in mosh pits. People really enjoy themselves."
As for which blue-nosed official she'd most like to introduce to moshing during Kittie's next concert, she's not certain: "I'm not too big on American politics. But I'd like to take them all on. Take them to see Slayer. Oh, that would be interesting."
So, too, was Morgan's rapid transition from chipper tot to fire-breathing she-dragon. She and Mercedes grew up in Toronto, and Morgan began writing poetry and lyrics when she was ten. But her work was relatively angst-free until two years later, when the family suddenly relocated to London, Ontario. "I think for any child who's grown up in one spot, you're so used to routines and having all these people around that you know and love, your family close to you and all," she says. "And then being uprooted...Well, it was something that was just like, 'Aaaaargh!' It was totally eye-opening for me.
"That's not necessarily the very bottom pit of my rage," she concedes. "But I think that's what started the reflection -- to actually look at the world and see it the way it really is, you know? I think when you're very young, like eight years old, you go to school, you have friends, you play in the backyard, that kind of thing, and everything seems so perfect. And when you get older, something changes."
Mating these emotions with metal came naturally to Morgan, whose parents' music collection included recordings by the likes of Deep Purple, Cream, Led Zeppelin and Rush. (When she's asked if her folks ever spun the likes of Joni Mitchell, she answers with a disgusted "Ugh.") At first, the band, which germinated after Mercedes met fellow rebel Bowman in, of all places, a gymnastics class, stuck to covers by combos such as Nirvana and Silverchair. But before long, Morgan, Mercedes, Bowman and original bassist Tanya Candler were penning irate screeds and sharpening a stage act initially highlighted by Candler's proclivity for biting the member off inflatable male love dolls. Mmm-mmm good.
In early 1999, little more than a year after the combo became a regular in hometown clubs, Kittie came to the attention of producer GGGarth Richardson, whose credits include CDs made with Rage Against the Machine and L7, and Ng Records, which is presently a subsidiary of the Artemis imprint. Spit was completed in short order, but just before its September release, Candler dropped out, having apparently grown tired of the taste of vinyl penises. Fortunately, Atfield was available; she came aboard in time to appear in the first video off the album, for the assaultive tune "Brackish." This song, like the best tracks on Spit, is primitive but effective, and more than heavy enough to satisfy the bleeding-eardrums crowd. Before long, the young women of Kittie were being called the anti-Britneys, an allusion to fellow teen Britney Spears that quickly ossified into a cliche nearly as annoying to Morgan as all those gags about fur flying and cat-scratch fever. Not that she's complaining too much. "To me, no press is bad press," she says. "I just wish they'd pay attention for the right reasons."

Friday, March 16th, 2012
In the summer of 2011, photographer and dear friend Takahiro Kaneyama ventured to the distant shores of northeastern Japan to visit and photograph Mt. Osore. Literally translated as "Mount Fear," this active volcano is one of the holiest destinations in all of Japan, believed to be the final passageway as one journeys to hell. This spiritual site often attracts visitors to console and remember the many lost souls. It is believed by some that here you will be able to spiritually connect with lost ancestors. A visitor himself, Taka was able to capture the essence of both fearful and tranquil elements of this holy land through his gift of photography.
Taka's hauntingly beautiful images are currently being featured in an exhibit at Miyako Yoshinaga art prospects entitled Shades of the Departed. So many thought-provoking themes and ideas are addressed throughout this series of images, yet their understated manner still provides a pure beauty that we may not necessarily expect alongside a representation of the underworld. Truly magnificent! The photographs perfectly combine darkness with inspiration, despair with reflection, and life with death.
The exhibit will run through April 21 and I highly recommend taking your own journey to these riveting landscapes of Japan through images, which delicately yet powerfully evoke emotions of all sorts. Taka's talent is spectacular and this is absolutely a show worth seeing! Perhaps I should add Mt. Osore to the list for my next Japanese adventures…

Continuing students receive a letter in the mail, giving the appointment date and time for their registration and enrollment. A student's best option to successfully enroll/add a class is to use the online enrollment/add process. Students who enroll during their online appointment date/time have the best chance of adding the classes which they want.
Students who choose to use a paper enrollment/add form may drop them off in the first floor office or mail it to Emeritus College. Paper enrollment requests are processed after the initial online enrollment period has been completed.

Comments from students, their thoughts on using the mini lab:
94 year old student
"I thought using the computer would be difficult, but it wasn't. I went to the lab and Rosemarie (the volunteer) helped me use the computer and helped me with enrolling; I got into all of my classes!"
84 year old student
"I used the computer to enroll before but I forgot some things. The person in the lab helped me to follow the steps. After that, I could do it myself and got into most of my classes. It is better than when I would mail in my registration.
80 something student

text: Refurbs and Food and Wine don't really have any connection to one another. There may have been some attractions down during Food and Wine, but right off the top of my head, nothing comes to mind. The food kiosks that are added to World Showcase don't affect the attractions, and The Party For The Senses is held in an area that is usually closed.

Creating a website with your own distinctive domain name is a way to communicate with the world. Whether the goal is to sell a product, promote a cause, build an online community or share your opinions or activities with the world, a website with its own domain name can be an effective way to get the job done. While there are many tools and services for each step in the process, the steps to follow in creating your own website with your own domain name remain the same.
Select a domain name. Come up with several possible domain names that are appropriate for the purpose of your website. With millions of websites already in existence, the chances are good that your first choice for a domain name is already registered to someone else.
Determine if the domain name you want is available. Use a domain registration firm to search for the domain names you are considering. This will tell you which are available for use right now.
Register your domain name through the domain registration firm. These firms handle the behind the scenes work necessary to give you control over the domain name for the length of time you select. They also ensure that when anyone anywhere in the world enter your domain name into their web browser, they are directed to the website you are about to create.
Choose a web-hosting service for your website. In addition to price, consider your website's needs. If you plan to see things from your site, consider services that support an online shopping cart. If continuous access to your site is important, consider services that offer 24/7 support. If you will be creating the website yourself (rather than hiring someone to do the work for you) consider hosts that provide website creation tools in addition to their other services.
Direct your domain name to your hosting service. Details for how to do this are provided by the hosting service.
Create your website. You have three main options: use the tools provided by your hosting service to create the site, use website creation tools not provided by your web host or hire someone to create the site for you.

Miami Makeover
By Michael Lassell
Lynda Murray, Media Room
ELLE DECOR: What was the biggest problem you faced in the room?
LYNDA MURRAY: Its a very small space, only 240 square feet, and has a very unusual shape. But I had to make it comfortable as a place to watch TV.
ED: After you made your plan, what was the first piece you chose for the room?
LM: The Holly Hunt Studio daybed. I actually ordered two of them to face the wall where the stainless steel Chinese cabinet is now, but they didnt fit. You would have had to climb over furniture to get to the television.
ED: So you dont subscribe to the theory that a small room should be as full as possible?
LM: No, I dont think any room should be as full as possible. Less is more.
ED: Do you tend to like reflective surfaces?
LM: I use them sparingly, like color, as accents. I thought this room could use the splash of the gold and silver tones. It has a big window and a great view, but it still seemed kind of dark.
ED: What was your biggest surprise in working on the room?
LM: That the Phillip Jeffries wallpaper I ordered, Natural Illusions Silk Road, is actually vinyl, so you can wipe it off with a sponge. It has a lovely texture and very nice color. Vinyl wallpaper has certainly come a long way.
ED: Whats the most important design lesson of this room?
LM: With a little imagination, you can do a lot in an odd-shaped room and pull off a look that works and feels right for the space.

Left 4 Dead
Version and / or Patch Used: Latest Steam Update
Timedemo or Level Used: Custom Timedemo
Developer Homepage: http://www.valvesoftware.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.l4d.com/
Left 4 Dead uses the latest version of Valve's Source engine, with improvements such as multi-core processor support and physics-based animation to more realistically portray hair and clothing, and to improve physics interaction with enemies when shot or shoved in different body parts. Animation was also improved to allow characters to lean realistically when moving in curved paths.
Rendering and artificial intelligence were scaled up to allow for greater number of enemies who can navigate the world in better ways, such as climbing, jumping or breaking obstacles. Lighting has been enhanced with new self-shadowing normal mapping and advanced shadow rendering that is important to convey information about the environment and player actions.
Under Left 4 Dead we see that the GTX 260+ and HD 4870 perform quite well with the GTX 260+ pulling out a win in two of the three resolutions.
Optimum Setup- Gaming at 2560 x 1600 with the GTX 260+ and settings at high isn't going to be a problem.

Bring back the Midnight Sun project
Okay, so if you are a fan of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, you have probably heard the devastating news that someone leaked her partial draft of Midnight Sun. Stephenie was obviously saddened and too mad to continue writing Edward's version of the Twilight story. If we band together and get a ton of signatures for this petition, maybe she'll see that she still has tons of faithful fans who are willing to do anything to get their hands on a copy of Midnight Sun.
