Have you ever secretly wished to do crazy visualizations with your Google Analytics data? I am sure you have! Well, there are several ways to do that, the most powerful being the Google Analytics API in conjunction with powerful visualization tools.
However, sometimes visualization tools may require technical knowledge or are just too expensive. That's why I thought about using Google Fusion Tables to provide a few complementary visualizations to Google Analytics - it is a great tool, very user friendly, and free.
In this article I provide a quick step-by-step guide to use Fusion Tables to visualize Google Analytics data: how to bring the data, prepare it, and visualize it using great charts. By the end of the article you will be able to create a visualization just like the one below, which includes data from Google Analytics and from a public dataset. Click on a dot on the map to see how cool it is! (I included icons to note where data was brought from Google Analytics and where it was brought from Wikipedia)
Following the publication of this article I was contacted by a colleague at Google that suggested I should use a Google App Script to programmatically export data from Google Analytics into Fusion Tables. Here is the result: Integrating Google Analytics & Fusion Tables [Tutorial].
Below is a quick video tutorial on how to export your Google Analytics data directly into Fusion Tables using Apps Scripts.
If you still prefer going through the manual process it is up to you. If not, you can jump to number two below - Data Manipulation: Creating A Master Google Fusion Table.
Keep in mind that as of the writing of this article, you can download data from the Google Analytics report which you are viewing, with the metrics that you are viewing. This means that if you are looking at the GEO Location standard report, you will download the countries along with the standard metrics: Visits, % New Visits, Bounce Rate... If you want, for example, to export E-Commerce data in addition to to the standard metrics, you will need to export two reports and then merge them using Fusion Table. And that's exactly the example I will use below!
As mentioned, I am going to show how to visualize GEO data; first because I think GEO is cool and I love maps, and second because I believe it is a rich example that showcases interesting parts of the Fusion Table product.
If you would like to follow this tutorial using your own data, start by visiting the GEO Location report (direct link) to download your data to Google Spreadsheets. Here is how to do it:
Below are pointers to steps 2 and 3 from the list above.
[If you are using the programatic approach, you can jump to the section below: "You have a table!"]
Now we have two Google Spreadsheets and we want to merge them into one Fusion Table. However, as far as I could understand you can't just upload two Spreadsheets into one Fusion Table, you have to create two Fusion Tables and then merge them. So that's what we are going to do now.
First, open your Spreadsheets and delete the first few rows, the ones that contain the summary of the data and some empty rows. This will save time and keep the data organized.
In addition, delete the last column of the Spreadsheet, it is a summary of all data and can cause some confusion when merging the Spreadsheets.
Last, create a Fusion Table (direct link) and choose your Spreadsheet as the source. Click Next. You will see the first few rows of your data, make sure they look fine. Click Next. You will be requested to give your table a name and other technicalities. Click Finish.
You have a table!
Click on the Map of Country tab above the table. You should see a popup letting you know that the Google Maps Geocoding service is placing addresses on the map.
Now repeat the process above with your second Spreadsheet (if you have one).
Only then you should merge both tables by clicking on File > Merge in any of them. You will be prompted with a popup to choose the second table you want to merge (which should be in your Drive account as you created the table in there). Once you choose the table, you will be asked to Confirm the source of match which, in our case, will be Country / Territory.
Choose the metrics that you would like to merge and you are done!
Now that you have your Google Analytics data ready, you should consider merging it with public datasets offered through Fusion Tables; if you are using Country data tables you will find a few. To do so, click on File > Find a table to merge with... and you will see the following:
Note that just below the dataset name you will see a note: 98% of rows have a match - this will tell you if the dataset matches your data or not. It is up to you to decide which percentage is good enough.
Now the fun begins! Here is a dataset I created using the data described above. I integrated some Google Analytics data with a dataset called World Data - Internet Users per Country, where I got country data for the number of Internet users, percent of population with access to Internet, the country flag and a few more columns.
The first visualization I decided to create is a map.
There are numerous ways to customize the map, starting from choosing between a Feature Map and a Heatmap. I chose a Feature Map as it enables us to add interesting information into the map; I believe the Heatmap feature is less valuable than what Google Analytics offers through through its interface, but I won't go into explanations...
Here are a few of my decisions when creating the visualization above, separated by the two main formatting categories: feature styles and info window.
In these options (labeled 1 at the screenshot above), you will be able to design the marker icon, colors, lines and legend. I believe the most interesting setting in this session is the marker icon. As you probably saw in the map legend, I used the color of the marker icon to indicate a country's traffic quality using Bounce Rates as a proxy. If the marker is red, bounce rate is above 66%, yellow is between 33 and 66% and green is below 33%. Below is a screenshot showing how to do it:
The info windows are the windows that appear when you click one of the markers, and you can customize them in almost any way you want, anything that can be done via HTML (no JavaScript though). When you click on the Change info window... option (two screenshots above), you are given two options: Automatic or Custom. I personally think that you can do better with Custom windows. Here are some of the things you can do (this is my custom code):

{Country / Territory}

Last quarter, we had a total of {Visits} Visits from {Country / Territory}, of which {% New Visits} were first time visits. The percentage of visitors that made at least one purchase was {Newsletter Signup (Goal 2 Conversion Rate)}. Visitors coming from {Country / Territory} stayed an average of {Avg. Visit Duration} on the website and {Bounce Rate} of them left the website without interacting with it (Bounce Rate).

As a side note, {Country / Territory} has {Internet users} Internet Users and {percent of population} of the population has access to the Internet.

As you will see, I am doing a series of customizations: adding images (both from the table using {placeholders} and from external sources), height, width, style and others. Again, the custom windows will accept anything that can be written using HTML.
Another interesting visualization feature on Fusion Tables are Custom Cards. They are less visually appealing, but they might be interesting in that they allow filtering and they show all the data open before you. It may be a better way to visualize more information for deeper analysis. Here they are:
The customization is very similar to the map info window described above, it will accept anything that HTML can do. Here is my example code if you would like a starting point.

{Country / Territory}

Visits: {Visits}

Conversion Rate: {Newsletter Signup (Goal 2 Conversion Rate)}

% New Visits: {% New Visits}

Bounce Rate: {Bounce Rate}

Pages / Visit: {Pages / Visit}

Internet Users: {Internet users}

Publishing your data will be as strait-forward as doing the manipulations above, two clicks and BAM! However, if you want your visualization to be limited only to one website (e.g. your Intranet) you will need a
Google Maps API for Business Client ID (and here are the details if you have one). But if you just want to showcase your visualization for everyone to see, here is how you do it.
First of all, your data sharing settings must be either Anyone with the link or Public on the web, otherwise when the map is embedded it will return an error. To change your sharing settings, click on Share on the top-right bottom of your table and change the Who has access part of it to one of the settings above. Then click on the arrow shown on the screenshot to the left and choose between sending a link or embedding it in a website.
You are done!
In this article I showed how to export Google Analytics data to Google Fusion Table, merge it with other datasets and then visualize it. I provided a common example where a map would be a great solution, but there are many other examples out there... If you think this is a valuable tool and would like to contribute an example to Online Behavior, let us know!

Buzz-Box have just repaired the micro USB port on my HTC Incredible S. The price they had originally estimated was the final price. They repaired it quickly and I received it back (in the Highlands of Scotland) less than 24 hours after paying for the repair. Buzz-Box provide an excellent service and I really like the features like the ability to see online what the status is, the facility to print out a label for posting the phone. I will use them again if I have another problem with the phone and will certainly recommend them to others.

Track and Field / Palli Fails to Qualify for Olympiad
July in Hadar Yosef, August in Beijing - that was the plan. Two years ago it worked beautifully. Niki Palli set a high jump youth world record of 2.30 meters in the national championships, and a month later placed second at the World Youth Championships in the Chinese capital. Everything went his way, and Israel seemed to have a golden egg.
But two years are an eternity, and Palli has had his ups and downs, to the point where he needed to clear 2.27 meters yesterday to qualify for the Olympics. He had originally needed to jump 2.30 meters, but the bar was lowered to the youth criterion. Cautiously optimistic before yesterday's meet, he only got as far as 2.17 meters before failing at 2.21 meters three times. In short, he wasn't even close. The great hope of Israeli athletics just two years ago couldn't reach his potential.
Theoretically, Palli's coach could organize an invitational event in Haifa, Palli's hometown, before the July 20 deadline, but the Israel Olympic Committee closed the door yesterday. The decision was to give Palli one last chance to meet the criterion for young adults, and according to the head of the Competitive Sports Unit Gili Lustig, the national championships provided his last chance.
After he failed, Palli complained of the poor conditions at Hadar Yosef and said, "I want to do it in Haifa, my home." But regardless of last night's failure, he and his coach remain optimistic. "I am only 21 years old, I have a lot of years ahead of me," he commented last night. "There's the world championships next year."
Rami Hipsh adds: The Israeli Championships witnessed a lone record set yesterday. Yevgenya Zavolatoni won the gold medal in the women's hammer with a throw of 52.02 meters, beating the old record by 90 centimeters. The distance was better than the next two throws combined. The achievement is even more impressive considering that Zavolatoni gave birth just nine months ago and took a five-month maternity leave. "I had it easy today, but it was hard when I returned from the birth," she said yesterday. "I knew I could improve on the record, and that's not the end .... I don't put boundaries upon myself."

The inevitable has become the reality for the Argonauts.
With an offence that has been mired in sputter mode for weeks, head coach Bart Andrus confirmed yesterday that Cody Pickett will start at quarterback on Friday night when the B.C. Lions visit the Rogers Centre.
Kerry Joseph has not been able to get anything done, and after a 25-0 loss to the Montreal Alouettes last week, Andrus had no choice but to make the switch, even though he and general manager Adam Rita had expressed faith in Joseph on the weekend.
"Let's see if he can't spark us, see if he can't move our team a little better and see where it goes from there," Andrus said. "By no means are we gun-shy about bringing Kerry (Joseph) back. But right now, we are going to start Cody Pickett. I feel good about the decision and I think he will have a fantastic game."
If Pickett performs well -- and considering he has just two Canadian Football League starts on his resume, it's a rather large if -- there is a chance Joseph has made his last start for Toronto. The 2007 CFL most outstanding player with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Joseph has not come close to that level in his time as an Argo. In fact, most of his tenure in Double Blue has been forgettable for Joseph, who was caught in a quarterback controversy through the first half of last season before Michael Bishop was traded. Since Bishop was dealt, what was a much calmer environment for Joseph did not help.
Joseph, who has thrown a league-high 10 interceptions with just seven touchdowns in the air, was asked whether he could see the reasoning in Andrus' decision.
"I don't make those decisions," Joseph, 35, said. "Bart is the head man and as players you roll with it. It's no reason to hang your head. This team, this game is not about Kerry Joseph. It's about winning championships."
Championship? How about just a touchdown or two? The Argos, at 2-4, have just two majors in their past four games. Pickett, who lost both his starts in 2008 against the Calgary Stampeders, doesn't mind throwing out of the pocket. The 29-year-old has attempted 115 passes in the CFL and completed 70, with one touchdown and two interceptions.
At 6-foot-4 and 228 pounds, Pickett will bring more of a prototypical quarterback's body than the 6-foot, 215-pound Joseph.
"We have confidence in whoever is in there," receiver Tyler Scott said. "If (the opposing defence) brings a blitz, Cody likes to get it off quick. Kerry will move out of the pocket and Cody likes to be in it more, so it gives us a little more time to be in and out of our routes."
Pickett looked okay when he mopped up for Joseph last week in Montreal, and said he will be a little more relaxed than he was when he was called on to make his first CFL start in Week 12 last year.
"I feel like I am a lot more mature," Pickett said. "I felt comfortable last week."

NEW ORLEANS - After several years of serving the community with educational programs in local schools, a dedication to visiting area hospitals and the creation of an offseason youth football camp, former University of Georgia offensive tackle Jon Stinchcomb of Lilburn, Ga., has been honored as the 2008 New Orleans Saints Walter Payton Man of the Year. The award - among the most prestigious in the NFL - is voted on by members of the media, Saints front office staff and local non-profit and business executives.
A sixth-year veteran, Stinchcomb has annually taken a lead role as Saints players branch out weekly into local hospitals. His efforts have centered around lengthy stays in the pediatric and chemotherapy wards at Children's Hospital of New Orleans and Ochsner Hospital.
Stinchcomb, an All-American on Georgia's 13-1 team in 2002, also spearheaded the creation of the "OL 4 NO" - Offensive Line For New Orleans - Youth Football Camp in the offseason. Free of charge, the camp was run by the entire offensive line for children from the New Orleans area. The group has also purchased 225 bicycles for Christmas and will distribute them to underprivileged children.
All 32 finalists, one from each NFL team, will receive a $1,000 contribution toward a charity of his choice, and the overall winner will receive $25,000 to donate to his selected charity.
The 2008 NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year winner will be announced during Commissioner Roger Goodell's press conference prior to Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa. The Stinchcomb Family Foundation has been designated as the charity that will receive the $1,000 donation in his name.
Former Georgia wide receiver Hines Ward has already already won the Pittsburgh Steelers Man of the Year award.

Bill Gothard, well I've written about him before...Remember he is the man whose teachings the Duggar family follows as they attend his ATI conferences. These conferences are held nationwide and at many centers. Pray for the Duggars to come out of this cult. I hope and pray all their children are truly born again and others come out away from the influence of Gothard. Weird title in the below...[for cities of light?]
ATI stands for Advanced Training Institute. This is a terrible name, why the focus on TRAINING? If you google the name, you will find the website that shows the different centers in Texas, Indiana and elsewhere.
IBLP stands for Institute in Basic Life Principles, both of these are Gothard's organizations.
Take some time and read these stories, I will warn with some of them they do contain descriptions of abuse.
The short story is that I made a false profession of salvation at the age of 5, grew up in ATI and IBLP, was influenced heavily by a legalistic perspective of God, began my "detox" process toward the end of college, and ultimately was saved at the age of 28 after marrying a fellow ATIer and having two children.
The longer story is broken up into several sections (seven sections, to be precise…Mr. Gothard would be so pleased!). It is admittedly extended, but I want to provide a real look inside the life and mindset of a young person in IBLP. I have tried to be transparent and it is a story that needs to be told – not because I am anyone special, but because God has dispensed an abundance of grace toward me that I do not deserve. This story is ultimately not about a boy who found God at the end of the journey; rather, it is the story of God seeking glory in the unmerited life of one He chose to claim as His own.
Gothardism, to me just seems like an extreme revamped Catholicism, work your way to heaven or in one way, have a good enough "character" to *make* it to heaven. I am glad the above young man came out and was born again.
Here someone else who grew up in the ATI world, sums it up....
Within ATI, Gothard was viewed as a sort of demigod. I remember attending the annual conferences where he was lauded with 10 minute standing ovations. We awaited every word that he said with baited breath, and took it all as gospel truth. We didn't ask questions, we just accepted it. And that was the norm in ATI. Gothard was all about controlling people's minds through anecdotes that would strike fear, and using scriptures out of context to say things that he wanted them to say.
That definitely is a concern. I have to admit, when man is praised too much and elevated that is a problem. Jesus Christ is Who the focus should be on. Gothard is another "celebrity" preacher obviously who holds people in his sway. I have to admit when visiting a few local churches, I saw this on the local level, and just felt horrified by it, one SBC had this ultra charismatic pastor, who everyone positively adored. Such hero-worship carried to extremes should give one the willies.
Recovering Grace is another website, where ex-Gothardites and those who grew up in the ATI system talk about their experiences there.
Some interesting articles here exposing the false teachings include
"We Were Elite, Super Special Christians"
One can see the cult training was promoted here, the focus on appearances, and extremes, think about the absurdity of sending children OUT to LOOK FOR IMMODESTY...
How could we know how our outward appearance should look? We were given school assignments to go to a local shopping area and observe people. We were told what to look for–"eye traps" such as women wearing pants, tight fitting clothing, low necklines, etc., etc., etc. Then we were to discern and "diagnose" their spiritual shortcomings based on their clothing choices.
Another part of this outward appearance was that our eyes needed to be "bright and shining." This involved keeping a clear conscience. We were supposed to look deeply into our innermost being and confess every wrong thought, attitude, or action. For me, this translated into never trusting myself at all–I mean, the heart is deceitfully wicked, so I needed to shut down my emotions so they didn't lead me into sin and take away my bright eyes.
We were given a list of sins that might cause the "light of the eye" to dim or go out. Lust (and all other sexual sins), worldly movies, rock music–again the list seemed nearly endless. What was conspicuously missing from this list was illness, grief, discouragement, burn out, and lack of sleep, to name a few. If you used any of those reasons as an explanation for why you weren't wearing bright eyes and a ministry smile at all times, you were labeled an "energy taker," and you were to be avoided like the plague because energy takers could rob the light from an energy giver!
Sounds like some subtle New-Age teachings ["robbing the light"] there to go with all the cult stuff.
I know I have written this before, never trust any church, religion or group that tells you to suppress God-given emotions and to always keep a false smile on your face. One sees that false teaching with the Duggars. This is why the Duggar family acts so Stepford-like on camera.
Here an ATI SAHD [Stay At Home Daughter] talks about being woefully unprepared for the world
Unprepared for Life
This article exposes Gothards misuse of scripture
"A New Approach To Easter"
What is Gothard's fascination with numbers?
Goathard actually wrote a letter responding to all those who have left and exposing his false teachings, remember that many of these people who left, are now Christians, even if they have rejected Gothards teachings. You will see the focus is on their would-be immorality and love of "unclean music".

Complaint Review: Seagate Technology
- Seagate Technology
Seagate Recovery Services, 50 East Commerce Drive, Suite 190
Schaumberg, Illinois

- Category: Computer Service & Repair
Seagate Technology Nothing short of extortion by Seagate Data Recovery Services Toronto Ontario Canada
After about 10 months, the drive just stopped working. There never was any sound or any indication (like write or read errors) that the drive was failing. I used this drive for my backups as well as storage for my family pictures wedding movies etc... as well as to hold UBUNTU linux operating system.
After the drive stopped working, I tried all kinds of diagnostics myself and then took it to BestBuy's Geek Squad who did several diagnostic tests and confirmed that the drive was faulty but for sure not crashed. This was confirmed since we could hear the drive spinning up and continue to spin and after a few mins of inactivity it would spind down to conserve power (expected behaviour).
I then contacted the Seagate support who also diagnosed the dirve over the phone with me and concluded that either the dirve was faulty (we replaced all the USB drivers etc...) or the power supply was faulty. That sounded kind of funny since the drive did spin up and power up correctly. The same USB and firewire cables did work with another Western Digital (350Gb) drive I had so the cables were fine too and nothing wrong with my Laptop either.
That's when I called their data recovery services and I was in turn contacted by their Inside Sales Reps. ( I am withholding their names)
After several calls and email exachanges to try and understand exactly what they were going to charge me for and what was their definition of data recovery - I was convinced when they stated:
"We will not charge you anything unless you are completely satisfied with the results of the recovery"
My definition of completely satisfied was the recovery of my daughter's wedding movies and pictures as mentioned in one of my emails to them:
Please proceed with the recovery and I will review the results of the recovery when presented before finally accepting or rejecting it.
I understand that I will owe nothing either if the recovery is not complete or does not include the files/data that I really need.
The list of files they sent me did not include the files I really wanted and was willing to pay for.
However, once the drive was sent to them they insisted on being paid for the data recovery since they claimed to have completey recovered my data. This could not be true since I was missing the most important files.
In any case once they had my drive, they refused to return my drive and inisited on being paid over $800 for the data recovery. They also refused to honour the warranty in which I was entitled to a replacement drive.
In anycase in the end I not only lost all my data, the drive and all the cables, powersupply, UPS charges to mail them the entire box of the hard drive with all the contents and I never got the replacement drive either.
What I should have done (as reported by some other user on this website) is just open the external case and remove the drive and install it in another external (third party case). I am absolutely convinced that there was nothing wrong with the internal drive itself but the external housing and the cables that connect the drive to the case was somehow faulty. However, Seagate it seems are extorting the consumers by either forcing them to pay for data recovery instead of honouring their warranty claims or replacing the external cases with the original drives.
How else is Seagate able to sell factory refurbished drives? My hard disk was probably reformatted and put in another case and sold off as a "factory refurbished" drive.
I feel I was extorted by Seagate. Since then I have purchased two other Western Digital Drives and absolutley no problems at all.
Question: If they were able to perform a complete recovery (with no lost/damaged sectors) then that clearly proves the drive itself was intact. How else can they perform a complete recovery?
Stay away from Seagate's disks (especially their external drives) and their Data Rrecovery services and don't get suckered by their sweet talking Inside Sales Ladies with French Acents.
Ideally going forward, I would buy an internal disk drive and then buy third party cases and turn it into an external drive. That way if my drive was to fail at least I would not be voiding my warranty by opening the external case and I can easily test the hard drive in another case or inside a desktop.

I'm making a quiche tonight. The last time I made the recipe I committed the crime of putting room temp dough in the oven.... the crust was soggy (to the point of being nonexistent). This time I've been debating whether I should totally bake the crust first (with pie weights, etc) or if I can freeze the dough, fill it and then pop in the oven.
The recipe doesn't call for pre-baking the shell, and I'm worried that I'll overcook the crust.
Any thoughts??

RadioShack is about to become more than just your local electronics retailer.
Starting tomorrow, RadioShack will offer contract-free cell phone plans with pre-paid carrier Cricket Wireless. The service, dubbed No-Contract Wireless, will offer plans for both feature phones and smartphones: Feature phone plans start at $25 a month, while the most basic smartphone plan will run for $40 a month. Both plans come with throttled bandwidth, so don't sign up if limited speeds aren't your thing.
In addition to the plans, RadioShack will also offer No-Contract Wireless subscribers free access to Cricket's Muve Music streaming service.
RadioShack will start things off on Wednesday with the Huawei Mercury Ice and Huawei Pllar, two budget phones priced at $149 and $39, respectively. While neither phone is likely to turn heads, both come free of contract, which will automatically make them more attractive to the price-conscious. RadioShack says that the pair will be joined by two others devices by the end of the month.
Could one of those devices be the iPhone? Earlier this year, Cricket became the first pre-paid service provider to offer the Apple device, which means it's not entirely unlikely that No-Contract Wireless will go a similar route with the iPhone 4 or 4S.


text: Accra - US President Barack Obama said on Saturday that Ghana could be a model of success for other African countries and that he chose to visit following a G8 summit to show that "Africa is not separate from world affairs."The visit to Ghana is Obama's first to sub-Saharan Africa since taking office as the first black US president.Obama spoke after meeting President John Atta Mills, who was elected in a peaceful, transparent vote last December that contrasted with the old images of war, misery and corruption on the world's poorest continent.Obama said Ghana can be an extraordinary model for success across the African continent, expressing the belief that Ghana's economy was well-managed and stressing that the United States had a continuing interest in Africa's development.Mills said Obama's visit sent positive signals and encourages Ghana to sustain democratic gains.Economic reforms in the cocoa and gold producing country, set to begin pumping oil next year, also helped bring unprecedented investment and growth before the impact of the global financial crisis."We don't allow one president to rule for 30 years. This should be evidence to other countries that it can be done," said tax official Nii Dodoo, 41, among the crowds in Accra streets.Walls and utility poles were plastered with posters of side-by-side portraits of Obama and Mills and the word "change" - the mantra of Obama's presidential election campaign.Obama was due to address members of parliament on Saturday before visiting Cape Coast Castle, a fort used in the transatlantic slave trade. He and his family will spend less than 24 hours in Ghana before returning to the United States.

- I had spent my whole life chasing the Ether. I knew it had to be out there; I had encountered some of those rare few who entered it and lived. These people possessed amazing abilities. They could control the elements themselves! I studied these people. I quizzed them on their experiences, trying to find a way into this strange land. No, not a land... It was something beyond that. All I knew was that I had to find it for myself. This would become my life's goal. I began researching it, reading old and nearly forgotten literature. After three years of this I found it: the key to the Ether. This was my chance...
- I set out to enter the Ether. The plains outside the city of Mo'raz'goban was my destination. I knew what I sought would be there. I climbed to the highest point in the plains and took out my equipment. All of it was custom built, made from blueprints I had discovered during my research. Even with my vast knowledge I was still unsure of what I was doing. I fumbled with the tools, trying my best to understand the cryptic instructions. After completing the process I stopped and waited. Just when it seemed as if nothing was going to happen and my resolve was weakening, the gateway opened. I smiled at my success and stepped through.
- The Ether pulsed around me. I knew it was only a matter of time before my soul was wrenched from my body. I tried to take it all in, but it was simply too much to grasp. It felt like an eternity of waiting; simply hanging there in suspended animation, doing nothing and feeling not but the pulse of the Aura around me. Suddenly, I felt as if my very being was torn from me. My back arched in pain and light engulfed me. I saw it then... My soul slowly oozed out of me, taunting me with its life sustaining glow. I truly believed I was going to die. As the last of my soul escaped me, my body went rigid. I felt nothing at all. Not even the pulse of the Aura. It was as if I was no longer alive. Just then my soul, which was now hovering before me, seemed to fly off toward an ever-expanding light. I vaguely felt myself being pulled toward it. "How foolish I was to try this... My intellect has finally been my undoing..." I thought to myself as I hurtled toward the light.
- Darkness engulfed me as I opened my eyes. I was back on the plateau, overlooking the plains of Az'go'rath. I felt... Different, but I couldn't quite place why. I looked around me to get my bearings. Just then I spotted the strangest looking try'dyd I had ever seen. It was a bright, almost neon shade of green with a long, jagged purple stripe running down its body. What's more, its eyes were a penetrating shade of red. As soon as I looked upon it it took flight and made its way to me. Upon reaching me it perched itself on my shoulder. Memories of the Ether came flooding back to me, and I knew this was my soul.

Day 4 of 4--Engineering a Calorimeter: Modifying and Re-testing a Prototype to Inform Final Product Build
Lesson 10 of 11
Objective: SWBAT make modifications to their calorimeter prototype and test for success in function in order to develop a final product that they will use in a subsequent lab investigation (measuring specific heat capacity of an unknown metal).
Big Idea: Prototypes can be modified, re-tested, and undergo multiple iterations until a final product meets desired standards.
This lesson is the fourth, and last, of a four day process. The goal of this lesson series is to allow students the experience of testing materials, designing a prototype, testing it, and making modifications. The final product (in this case, a calorimeter) will then be used in a subsequent specific heat capacity investigation, LAB: What Metal Is This? Using Student Engineered Calorimeters in Lab.
In Disciplinary Core Idea ETS1.A, students are expected to define and delimit engineering problems, following specific criteria and constraints. This sequence of lessons exposes students to the engineering design process from start to finish.
During the calorimeter design process, students will need to test different materials to see which retains heat more effectively. This engages students in planning and carrying out investigations (SEP 3), analyzing and interpreting data (SEP 4), and designing solutions (SEP 6). Students are engaged in exploring thermal energy transfer and how to prevent it, addressing many core ideas in Disciplinary Core Idea PS3.B: Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer.
Day Four involves making modifications in order to improve an existing calorimeter prototype's function. Students design their own procedures and tests, and should end up with a final, improved product by the end of today's lesson.
Links to the other three lessons in this series:
Day 1 of 4--Engineering a Calorimeter: What is a Prototype?
Day 2 of 4--Engineering a Calorimeter: Designing and Testing a First Prototype
Day 3 of 4--Engineering a Calorimeter: Testing and Re-designing
Student Group Working Time
I have told students during our previous three days of lessons that the fourth day would be our last on this project. At this point, student groups should have built their first prototype and tested it. Some groups will have began their testing of their modified prototype during Day 3. Today, all groups need to test their modified prototype and make any final adjustments until they feel they have made the best calorimeter possible with the specified materials, during the allotted time.
While students continue working through the engineering process, I will check in with each group to make sure that they are on track and can successfully finish a product that can be used in the next day's lesson (LAB: What Metal Is This? Using Student Engineered Calorimeters In Lab).
Whole Class Debrief
With about 10 minutes left of our class period, I begin a debriefing discussion with the whole class. I begin by telling students to spend the next 5 minutes discussing the following questions (which I have written on the whiteboard just prior to calling for attention):
- What were the steps in the engineering process that you completed over the past four days?
- What was easy about this process?
- What was challenging about this process?
- What would you do differently if you had to engineer another product in the future?
I choose the first question because I want students to identify what it is that they did before being asked to articulate what was easy and what was challenging about it. This gives students the vocabulary to describe the process in our discussion. I also deliberately use the word "engineering" because it is typically perceived as being a very difficult process and that only the "smartest" people become engineers. I am hoping to instill a sense of pride in my students that they were successful engineers today.
After students discuss in their groups what their answers to the questions are, I tell them that I will call on each group to give me a 30 second answer explaining either what was easy or what was challenging. Then, I quickly go around the room allowing a student from each group to quickly share out.

COON RAPIDS, Minn. (WCCO) — You have probably seen the video by now: Invasive Asian carp that jump out of the water.
Now, DNA results taken near the Coon Rapids Dam show they may be heading up river towards Lake Mille Lacs. Nineteen of 48 water tests taken near the dam have come back positive for leaping Asian carp DNA.
"We don't know how they will do in our waters and frankly we don't want to find out," said Steve Hirsch of the DNR.
Hirsch is the water resources director for the DNR. He said when it comes to leaping silver carp we may have created a monster.
"They were originally imported into the United State into some of the southern states for us in private, aquaculture ponds to clean out algae," said Hirsch.
Because of flooding in the late '70s and early '80s, they got out and into the Mississippi River. They've been marching upstream ever since, and now they are on our doorstep.
Asian carp are big, voracious fish that feed at the low-end of the food chain. They eat all the plankton other fish might eat.
"They could affect any of the native species we have in our fish population- including our popular game fish like walleye and northern pike," said Hirsch.
So what is stopping them from taking over? If the carp get pass the Coon Rapids dam, they can hook up with the Rum River, where only one dam separates them from popular Lake Mille Lacs.
"There is a dam on the Rum River, but it is not a very effective fish barrier. So during high water they could get by there," said Hirsch.
Hirsch said the good news is the Coon Rapids dam is an effective fish barrier. The St. Anthony Falls lock and dam could also be shut down, but such a move would require an act of Congress. There is genuine concern, but not enough to panic.
"We are still fairly sure the numbers are low and that we are in the early stages of what could become a bigger problem," said Hirsch.
Additional DNA samples will be coming in from north of the St. Croix River. Hirsch said if they get positive hits there, then it will cause them to try and figure out if there are any other fish that may be causing these positive hits.
Some of the positive DNA results that recently showed up were collected beyond the Coon Rapids Dam, so the fish could be bypassing it already.

Indiana Senate hopeful Richard Mourdock has offered a partial apology for his remarks Tuesday night that pregnancy from rape is "something that God intended to happen," after sparking a firestorm akin to Missouri Republican Todd Akin's earlier this year.
"I don't think God wants rape. I don't think he wants that at all because rape is evil," he said during a news conference Wednesday.
"So many people mistook, twisted, came to misunderstand the points that I was trying to make," Mourdock added.
"If in any way people came away with the wrong meaning, I apologize," he said, but the Republican candidate remained adamant that to stay true to his faith, he cannot completely apologize for the intended significance of his remarks.
The controversy stemmed from Tuesday's debate against Democratic rival Rep. Joe Donnelly, when Mourdock was asked whether abortion should be allowed after instances of incest and rape.

UK Politics
Kosovo strategy questioned
John Major visiting troops in Bosnia in 1992
Ruling out sending in ground forces was also a tactical error, he insisted.
Mr Major, who was prime minister during the Bosnian and Croatian wars, said it was "self-evident the bombing would create refugees".
During the same period, a mass exodus of about 400,000 people have fled, many Kosovo Albanians alleging brutality at the hands of Serb soldiers.
Camps to provide shelter and food to refugees should also have been set up in countries neighbouring Kosovo, such as Albania and Macedonia, he said.
UK International Development Secretary Clare Short has previously said it would have been "an appalling act of complicity in ethnic cleansing" to have prepared for the refugee exodus.
But Mr Major suggested Nato's actions had accelerated the conflict on the ground, while giving President Milosevic "carte blanche" to pursue his strategy safe from the prospect of a ground force.
"I think this is the enormous tragic blunder that the situation was not nearly so bad before we got involved," he said.
"I'm afraid it's very difficult to get away from the feeling this is a war being run by spin doctors rather than strategists.
"We're constantly told, don't blame us Milosevic is criminally responsible.
"But the point is there has been, if you like, criminal irresponsibility on the side of Nato and the western governments. They didn't think their own rhetoric through.
Mr Almond went on to question whether these same people could be counted upon to plan for future obstacles.
"We have to ask ourselves, will the people who blundered into this conflict think through the necessary measures or will we see further mistakes?"
Mr Major also urged Nato leaders to look to the longer term issues.
"The belief that the moment the bombing is over they [the refugees] would all simply be able to return to Kosovo is fanciful," he said.
"Even when it is practicable for them to go back, it is very hard to see that they could go back without some sort of guarantee from Nato."
Former Labour leader Michael Foot also questioned the wisdom of the Nato strategy, though he insisted air attacks must go on.
"But there must be readiness to have ground troops," he said. "That should have been accepted before."

Stockholm (AFP) Dec 03, 2006
There is an inexhaustible supply of wind to drive their blades, but materials needed to make wind turbines are limited and the industry fears it will fail to keep pace with growing demand for the clean energy source. "We do whatever we can but it's impossible to increase our (production) capacity overnight," a spokesman for the Danish group Vestas told AFP.
"There is a gap between industrial capacity and demand, and it will take several years before we can fill the gap. Don't expect miracles," Peter Wenzel Kruze added.
Vestas is the world leader in wind turbine manufacturing.
Benefiting from spiralling oil prices and the popularity of green energy sources, wind farms -- mostly on land but also offshore -- have in recent years become an increasingly common sight throughout Europe.
Wind-generated power now accounts for three percent of Europe's electricity requirements, according to the European Wind Energy Agency (EWEA). In Denmark the figure is 20 percent, eight percent in Germany and seven percent in Spain.
EWEA hopes 22 percent of European electricity requirements will be filled by wind power by 2030.
Between 1995 and 2005 the amount of electricity produced using wind power grew on average by 32 percent per year in Europe while the number of wind turbines rose by around 22 percent.
Similar growth in the sector has been recorded in the United States where wind power production expanded by 36 percent in 2005 with the help of federal funding.
A number of countries have announced plans for major wind farm programmes both on land and at sea. The rush to wind power has proved a boon for the industry in the shape of lucrative contracts but it has also caused problems for companies as they struggle to meet multiplying deadlines.
Almost all producers have been affected by the problem for some months, according to a spokeswoman at German energy group REpower.
While there was no immediate impact on the group's results, she conceeded that future production capacity could be reduced if delays in deliveries of wind turbine parts continued.
EWEA, representing 80 percent of the wind power industry, acknowledges that delays in wind turbine deliveries, especially turbine motors, are on the increase, but does not wish to overstate the situation.
"I can not say it's a problem to have very strong demand ... it's quite a normal phenomenom in industry. It takes time for both manufacturers and suppliers to adjust production," EWEA president Christian Kjaer said.
Robert Gleitz, wind product chief at General Electric, explains that current supply problems have not affected major component parts of wind turbines such as blades, plinths or turbine pods.
Gleitz does however say that turbines ordered today would not be delivered until 2008 or possibly 2009.
"The industry is adapting and companies are in the process of reorganising their entire supply chain," EWEA spokeswoman Isabelle Valentiny said.
Firms are encouraging suppliers to greatly increase investment and are seeking more long term strategic framework agreements with suppliers and customers.
"The message is: okay, we believe in this (wind energy), you can invest," Wenzel Kruze said.
EWEA added that the price of wind power has fallen steadily in the last 20 years.
"(Wind energy) technology produces 180 times the amount of electricity that it produced in the 80's. It has matured and can compete with other forms of energy," Valentiny said.

I'm a huge fan of microchipping. Identification tags fall off, collars get snagged, and unfortunately bad people steal pets. A microchip, typically implanted between a dog's shoulder blades, can help dogs find their way back home. I'm a proponent of microchip education and low cost clinics, but I wasn't initially sure how I felt about a microchip law.
Earlier this month, Britain announced that all dogs in England must be microchipped by 2016 [3]. The Environment Department is hoping that the requirement will be a simple solution for reuniting more lost or stolen pets with their families, promoting animal welfare, and taking the pressure off animal shelters. In the past, Britain has also proposed mandatory microchips to help in prosecuting dog bite cases.
According to the Environment Department, 60 percent of Britain's 8 million dogs are already microchipped. Closing the gap would put England in good company with countries like Portugal, Italy, and Switzerland who already require microchips. Interestingly horses have had to be microchipped in England since 2009. After 2016, dogs without a microchip would face a hefty fine of up to 500 pounds (about $800).
I think this law is generally a good idea because it will increase awareness about microchiping. But given that the process involves injecting a foreign body into our pups, it seems better to keep the process optional.
What do you think about mandatory microchipping?

Walking Away When He's Not Interested
Wait, what? He's not interested? In you? But I don't understand, how could this be? You're cute, you're smart, you're not needy and you can rock a good pair of nerdy glasses. So how could this guy not already be going steady with you and sitting at the same lunch table every day?
Sorry, I miss the simplicity of high school sometimes.
Ok, we're going to break this down. You might not like what I have to say, but that's why we have a love/hate relationship. You hate what I say, but you love me 'cus you know it's true and I'm trying to save you from pain and misery, which balances out the hatred. Amiright?
Walking away when someone isn't interested in you is one of the toughest things to master. It could be as simple as someone who just turned down your invite to coffee, or as complicated as someone cheating on you. Don't even think I haven't sent an ungodly amount of inappropriate text messages, emails and voice mails accompanied by random non-accidental run-ins just trying to get some answers.
But that's the thing -the answers you're seeking aren't there. You already have the answer, and that answer is no. No further clarification needed.
So, the real challenge is not digging for answers – it's getting from the big "no" to a place of acceptance.Here's some tips on how to move on.
1. Don't try to force the issue or convince him. This includes: trying to mold yourself into someone you think he will like, settling for every little ounce of time that he throw your way in hopes that spending time with you will change his mind and most importantly, chasing him down. It's hard to accept rejection, but it becomes easier when you remember that you want someone to be as crazy about you as you are about them. Right? You want someone to pursue you. Right? So if you stop and just think about what you're doing, then you'll realize you are trying for force something that isn't there. And where will that get you in the end? I know this is hard especially if he didn't even give you a chance, but still, it's his choice. The quicker you accept this the quicker you can focus your efforts on finding someone who does reciprocate those feelings.
2. Put yourself in his position and realize that it is his prerogative not to be with you. (I know, where did that superfluous "r" in prerogative come from?) Just as you will not want to date every guy who finds you attractive, the same goes for him. Now what if every guy you turned down kept asking you and texting you and showing up asking for further explanation? You'd probably think one of three things: a) Eew, creepy stalker; or b) What an idiot -why doesn't he get the point?
3. Hope will eat you alive. Hope for World Peace all you want. But when someone rejects you – the hope needs to be buried there. They've given their final answer. The door has been slammed shut. The absolute worst thing you can do is try to search for hope among the burning ashes. "Oh, he text me to ask how I was? That means he's thinking about me – yay! All of my subliminal messages must be working!" No. He's most likely just trying not to be a complete jerkasaurus since he just rejected you. The answer is still a big, flashing NO. Don't hold on to hope that in the future he might change his mind. If he does, great. But you hoping will only prevent you from moving on and it will keep you strung out on him, stalking his every move, clinging to his every word.
Walk away with dignity. Because we all know that it's not personal – it just isn't the right fit. Oh well. You'll have several not-so-right-fits until you finally find the one that works. So, in the meantime, acknowledge his prerogative to not be with you, don't force the issue and relinquish the hope that he might change his mind.
Until you do these things, you won't be ready and open to finding someone else. And I know you're thinking that there will never be any one else like this guy. But oh, there will be. And he'll be so much better. Because he'll want you back.
Tell us, have you ever been rejected? What are your tips for moving on?

I know I have been away for a while now, but I had to do some other stuff before and after I went live. Anyways, for my second tutorial of the day I will be showing you guys "how to draw Baby Donkey Kong", step by step. Now I know that he is not in the Mario video game series, but I thought it would be great fun to upload a tutorial on one of the video game icons who helped make Nintendo one of the most popular selling game consoles in the world. Donkey Kong first started his game debut with Mario as his enemy in the self-titled game "Donkey Kong". This is when the big ape kidnapped Princess Peach and Mario had to work as hard as he could to rescue her. Anyways, I think Baby Kong came out looking super-duper cute, and I highly doubt you are going to run into any problems while sketching out this awesome, legendary game star that has been a mascot for the Nintendo franchise since the beginning. I have to actually get going because there is so much more for me to do before the night is through. I will only be submitting one more baby character to go along with the rest of the gang, but that's not going to be until tomorrow. So, needless to say it's time for me to go, and for you to have fun learning "how to draw Baby Donkey Kong", step by step. Enjoy this lesson, and thank you for joining me for another awesome time.

Born over fifty years ago on July 4, 1957, it was more than just a car. It made history. It gave people the ability to move freely and with confidence. A liberating form of self-expression, the FIAT 500 was built to satisfy people's insatiable love for each day.
For FIAT, a company founded in 1899, this was a rebirth.
The start of a legend. A modern symbol for Italian design.
