It's almost game time in Brazil and the teams are finishing their World Cup preparations. We already previewed Groups A-F. Today we'll analyze Group G: Germany, Ghana, Portugal and the United States.
Germany is always a threat regardless of the competition. The Germans head to Brazil ranked number two by FIFA right behind Spain. Germany finished third in each of the last two World Cups. In 2002 they were runners up to Brazil. Even more impressive, Germany has made it out of the group stages in every World Cup since 1954 when they won the tournament.
Manager Joachim Low has been in charge of the German national team since 2006. Though very experienced, Low has received recent criticism for taking just one recognized striker to Brazil. Miroslav Klose has scored 14 World Cup goals but Low is putting a lot of faith in the 36-year-old Lazio striker.
The German midfield is stocked with creative players that will have an impact on Germany's attack. These include Sami Khedira of Real Madrid, Toni Kroos, Thomas Muller and Bastian Schweinsteiger from Bayern Munich and Mesut Ozil of Arsenal.
Germany also has a number of solid defensive players such as right back Philipp Lahm from Bayern Munich and Arsenal center-back Per Mertesacker.
Ghana is making its third straight appearance in the World Cup. They made it to the round of 16 in 2006 and then the quarter-finals in 2010. While Ghana hopes to go even further in this tournament, being drawn in the same group as Germany and Portugal makes that a tough challenge.
Manager Kwesi Appiah might be the least known manager of all the nations in Brazil. He has spent his entire playing and coaching career in Ghana. Appiah came up through the management ranks with the national team and was appointed manager in 2012.
Top players for Ghana include veteran midfielder Michael Essien of AC Milan and experienced forwards Asamoah Gyan of Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates and Kevin-Prince Boateng of Schalke 04.
22-year-old forward Majeed Waris who plays for Valenciennes in France's second division will add a touch of youth to team Ghana's attack.
Portugal arrive in Brazil with a number four ranking and the most recent Ballon d'Or recipient; Cristiano Ronaldo.
This will be Portugal's sixth appearance in the World Cup. Their best results were a third place finish in 1966 and fourth in 2006.
Portugal will be on somewhat familiar ground in Brazil where Portuguese is the native language and the team has a following.
Manager Paulo Bento was a defensive midfielder during his playing days and he made 35 appearances for the national team from 1992-2002. After serving as head coach for Sporting Lisbon, Bento was named manager for Portugal in 2010.
In addition to Ronaldo, Portugal's team includes forward Helder Postiga of Lazio, midfielders Joao Moutinho of Monaco and Miguel Veloso of Dynamo Kiev and experienced defenders Bruno Alves of Fenerbahce and Pepe from Real Madrid
Jurgen Klinsmann heads to Brazil for his first World Cup as manager of the United States. He also arrives without team USA's all time goal scorer, Landon Donovan.
During his playing days, Klinsmann was a prolific striker and was a part of the German squad that won the 1990 World Cup and the 1996 European Championship. His managerial experience includes stints with the German national team from 2004-2006 and Bayern Munich from 2008-2009.
Klinsmann has decided to go with raw youth and has included unproven players such as 18-year old Julian Green, 20-year-old DeAndre Yedlin and 21-yeard-old John Brooks in his squad. This and leaving Donovan off of the team has put Klinsmann in the hot seat. If his decisions backfire, he could be facing a lot of questions following the tournament.
Like England, the United States finds itself in one of the toughest groups in the tournament. Expectations for the team are not high as its Group G opponents include Germany, Portugal and Ghana.
Without Donovan, striker Clint Dempsey will have a lot of responsibility for the USA's attack.
Other potential impact players include veteran goalkeeper Tim Howard who plays for Everton and midfielder Graham Zusi of Sporting Kansas City who has seen his stature with the national team grow. His equalizing goal against Panama last October, led to Mexico qualifying for the World Cup over Panama. This has made Zusi a hero with Mexican soccer fans.
With Argentina and Portugal in their group, Ghana and the United States are going to have to be at their best in order to move on.
Next time we'll take a look at the final group; Group H: Algeria, Belgium, Russia and South Korea

With Valentine's Day fast approaching now is the time to add some artwork into your homeschooled kids curriculums! One excellent idea for a Valentine's Day gift is to make a customizable picture frame and give it to a loved one with a special picture already in it.
• A wood frame
• Scrapbooking paper (Valentine's-Day-themed if possible)
• Modge Podge
• A brush (sponge tipped ones are fine)
• Paint (optional, used if you want to paint the wood frame before adding the paper)
1. Put the wood frame on a flat surface with the front part facing up.
2. Place scrapbooking paper on top of the wood frame.
3. Trace where you need to cut the paper so that it encases the frame's edges but leaves an empty space in the middle to fit a picture.
4. Cut out the properly traced paper.
5. Spread some modge podge on the wood frame with your brush.
6. Put the paper on top of the modge podged frame and press it down until the paper adheres to the wood.
7. Let the frame dry for about an hour and then add another layer of modge podge (and make sure to cover the edges so the paper won't peel.
8. Let the frame dry completely (about 2-3 hours to be sure).
9. Add your picture.
10. Give the customized frame to your Valentine!

I am trying to get my tiger clients to bind to an open directory server on leopard.
I am able to bind the computer to the directory and when I look in Workgroup Manager the computer shows up correctly but none of the settings show up on the client. If I attempt to unbind the client from Directory Access on the client it removes but the client pops up a message that it "Could not contact the LDAP server to unbind. Would you like to forcibly remove this configuration?".
I am able to get leopard clients to bind successfully and pull down their settings (OD servers themselves are pulling login window changes).
If (while bound) I use dscl and attempt to cd into the OD I receive a message that the path is invalid.

The hillside was a patchwork quilt
Neatly stitched with tidy hedge
And crumbling gray stone wall
The trees were bare but spring was near
To conjure up its endless strings
Of green magic handkerchiefs
Could you only see what I've seen
You would surely know what I mean
I think I must have caught a glimpse of heaven
A string of diamonds formed a stream
That tumbled down the daunting cliff
To sparkle bright on the beach
New born lambs that sweetly played
Speckled eggs all newly laid
But for you I would have stayed
I think I must have caught a glimpse of heaven

Whitaker takes on Ellis
Story by David Finger
Photo by 'Big' Joe Miranda
For a fighter nicknamed "Mount", Lance Whitaker (33-5-1, 27 KO's) certainly has had a career full of ups and downs over the years.
As an undefeated prospect making his first appearance on HBO back in 1999, Whitaker looked like a future champion when he dropped Lou Savarese in the sixth round in a fight he was clearing winning. But, like so many rookies before him in their first big fight, he suffered from a bad case of fatigue in the later rounds and came up short in a split decision.
Some boxing insiders closed the book on him then and there, only to be forced to eat there words just five months later when he took his experience from the Savarese loss to upset undefeated prospect in Monte Barrett. Barrett was a green young prospect at the time, but within six years he would establish himself as a contender, fighting for the WBC and WBA titles in 2005 and 2006 respectively.
Unfortunately for Whitaker, over the next six years it seemed like is career followed the same trajectory. Win big fights at the wrong time (knocking out Oleg Maskaev five years before he would go on to win the WBC heavyweight title) while losing the fight that seemed to precede his potential title shot (like his loss to Jameel McCline and Luan Krasniqi in a WBO title eliminator). It is hard to imagine now, but for a fighter who was at times one of the more popular and exciting American contenders of the last ten years, Lance Whitaker never fought for a world title.
But maybe, just maybe, that is going to change in 2009. After several years off from the sport in 2005 following a disastrous year that saw him lose to Krasniqi and Sultan Ibragamov, Whitaker made a comeback in 2008. Although that comeback was derailed by a torn bicep in his second fight against Jason Estrada, Whitaker remained focused. Although another layoff followed, Whitaker promises he is healthy and has an impressive win over journeyman Danny Batchelder in July to prove it.
On August 21st he steps into the ring for a second time following his rehabilitation and layoff, as he faces a former prospect from England named Matthew Ellis (20-8-2, 9 KO's). Although Whitaker is heavily favored against the rapidly fading Englishman, many insiders recognize that Ellis is a fighter who could give the bigger man problems. After all, Ellis was a fighter of some note in his heyday and he undoubtedly knows that a win over Whitaker could put him back into the picture. Some might call it ironic, that Whitaker is again fighting the right fighter at the wrong time (earlier in the decade Ellis was one of England's most popular young heavyweight prospects, sporting a 17-1-1 record and holding a legitimate claim as a contender for the Commonwealth, and arguably even European heavyweight title), but maybe, just maybe, if a world title fight is where this comeback is heading, Lance "Mount" Whitaker can show the world that he overcame his biggest weakness as a younger fighter . . . timing.
Whitaker took some time to talk to Fightnews about his comeback and his upcoming fight with Ellis.
Thanks for taking the time to talk to us Lance. Let's start with how are you doing?
I'm doing real good today. I had a good workout today, and yesterday. I've been working on my jabs, combinations. Got a real good fitness and cardio trainer named Mike Wood. (He's been) busting my ass not only in the gym but running, and with a lot of cardio vascular training.
So what have you been focused on in training camp? Working on anything new?
I've just working on the jab. I never worked the jab to much, ever since the amateurs. Just doing the basic simple things, one two. But mainly the jab, lots of work with the jab.
What do you know about your opponent, Matthew Ellis?
He has two arms and two legs. (Laughing) That's about it. And he's from England I believe.
Did you see his fight several years ago on Shobox?
No, didn't get a chance to see that fight.
Are you bringing anything different to the table? Can we expect to see a different side of Lance Whitaker on August 21st?
I'll be a little more of a boxer, and using the jab. Also my footwork is getting a lot better and my cardio is better. I came back from a serious injury and my body sort of had to relearn a lot. But mostly to use that jab.
Where do you see yourself in a year?
I see myself getting a few more fights, getting on a roll. Hope to be fighting someone in the top ten later this year and hope o be fighting for a big belt later this year or next. Earlier last year I tore my left bicep, and even though I'm 37 I feel like I'm 27.
Are you targeting anyone in particular in the top ten?
No. Actually I'm not. I didn't think that far ahead. But I am a top ten fighter, and they will see that when I knock some of them out of the top ten. I train smarter, I am smarter. Its' a new and improved "Mount" Whitaker. I have a great trainer in Vernon Fletcher and a good team behind me. I surrounded myself with some good people.
So let's talk about the layoff after the Estrada fight, and the Estrada fight itself. What exactly happened that night?
In the first round of the Estrada fight I tore my left bicep. My whole left arm was sore and I went to the doctor and found out about it the following day. I'd like to fight that bum again. I had no jab; I had no left arm period.
So is your left arm fully rehabilitated?
Oh yeah, its 100% . It has just started feeling normal again about four months ago. I did a whole bunch of physical therapy.
What was the cause of the layoff from 2007 to 2008? Was it injuries? Managerial?
No. No injuries. No managerial problems. I just traveled around the world; Paris and Morocco. Just took care of business, took some time off.
Were you pondering retirement?
My mindset was just travel, want' thinking about quitting or anything, figure the right time would come I would get back and train hard. And that time is now.
Do you think the layoff helped you or hurt you in the long run? Was it a benefit?
Yes it was a big benefit. I got my mind straight and I got a different outlook on things. Everything I do is smarter. I train smarter.
I noticed you had some harsh words about Jason Estrada and indicated you'd like to fight him again. Is he someone you want to fight now and do you feel the injury was a contributing factor in the loss to Estrada?
Yeah, I would have defiantly stopped him. But fight him again? For what? If he was rated I would. I had no jab…no left. I had no feeling in my left arm until I got home where I discovered my whole tendon tore off the bone. I thought I could beat him but I couldn't fight with one arm. He beat a man with one arm for all ten rounds.
What do you think about the heavyweight division now?
Well, Chris Areola is fighting Vitali. I got my money on Chris to stop him in 4 to 5 rounds. I think he has the style and punching power to beat him. The heavyweight division…I have respect for the Klitschko's…and that 7-footer (Valuev). I wouldn't mind going a few rounds with him.
What can we expect on August 21st?
Expect a win. For me to use that jab, be consistent and to beat him up with that left jab.

The HikeNeed to check the weather before we start?
Here is Intellicast's SFO Weather forecast page.
|Our hike up Ring Mountain begins on the shores of
the San Francisco Bay at the mountain's base.
In Triangle Marsh the sticky gum plant, salt grass, salty pickle weed, and cordgrass reach into the bay's waters, and the muddy fill is like solidified jello underfoot.
Crossing the bayside road, we approach the entrance to the preserve (note the signs have changed because the property has been acquired by Marin Open Space) and work our way up the open, grassy, but rock punctuated and irregular slopes. If your trip is taking place during the summer, the path itself tells a story of the composition of the soil for it will have extensive cracks in it produced from the shrinking and swelliing clays found in these lower slopes. We may well cross over one of the seasonal streams running from bunches of bay and live oak trees clustered along water courses or around the large rock outcroppings. Along one of these water courses, native Americans ground acorns in bedrock mortars we can still see carved in the blueschist metamorphic rocks. Midway up the slope we get nice views of the other, serpentine capped summit of the mountain. As we approach the saddle between the two summits, turning and looking back down the valley we have traveled, we get a good view of the mountain's character. Depending on the time of year, we might be fortunate enough to be treated to a varied, profuse wild flower display.
The views throughout the hike are well worth the climb, and, at the crest, there are spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay area to the north, east and south.
|San Francisco is laid out in full panorama to the
The towers of the Golden Gate Bridge are visible, sometimes only peeking
through fog rolling in through the Golden Gate.
East, beyond the bay, lie the East Bay's hills, and Mt. Diablo, the anchor for map-making in California, is visible in the distance.
To the north lie small remnants of San Francisco Bay's natural salt marshes in the Ross Valley (and one human-restored one); the scars of an old quarry, now converted to a shopping center and housing development, (where "Dirty Harry" "did in" the bad guy); and another reminder of that side of the human spirit, the imposing California State Prison, San Quentin.
Off to the west (photo below, 98K), Marin County's Mount Tamalpais dominates the view.

Cyrus, Hemsworth break up
A wrecking ball has hit Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's relationship, and the couple called off their engagement.
The 23-year-old Hemsworth proposed to 20-year-old Cyrus in 2012. They met on the set of the 2010 movie "The Last Song."
Cyrus, whose hits include "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball," will release a new album called "Bangerz" on Oct. 8.
The Australian-born Hemsworth was one of the stars of "The Hunger Games." He will appear in the sequel, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," that will be in theaters on Nov. 22.
Emmys to honor deceased stars
Sunday's Emmy awards ceremony will include five special memorial tributes, including one to Cory Monteith.
"Glee" star Monteith died in July at age 31 of a heroin and alcohol overdose. He will be remembered by the show's Jane Lynch.
The TV academy says Edie Falco will honor James Gandolfini, her co-star on "The Sopranos," at this year's ceremony. Gandolfini died of a heart attack in June at age 51.
Rob Reiner will remember "All in the Family Star" Jean Stapleton, and Robin Williams will honor his friend and mentor Jonathan Winters
Hasselbeck at ease on 'Fox & Friends'
For Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the "Fox & Friends" morning show already feels like home.
The former co-host on "The View" joined Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade on Fox's three-hour morning show on Monday. She replaced Gretchen Carlson, who moved to afternoons.
Hasselbeck said she has watched Fox for a long time, and said it seems like she's being called up to join her favorite team in the big leagues. Her conservative views often made her an outcast among her co-hosts on "The View."
Coppola, Domingo win Japanese prize
Filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola and opera singer Placido Domingo are among five winners of a lucrative arts prize that has been dubbed the "Nobel Prize of the arts."
They will receive the Japan Art Association's Praemium Imperiale Awards, which come with a 15 million yen ($150,000) purse.
The winners will receive their awards from Japan's Prince Hitachi at a ceremony in Japan in October.
Previous winners of the prize, founded in 1989, include Italian screen star Sophia Loren and British actress Judi Dench.
Britney Spears' Vegas show to debut Dec. 27
Britney Spears is heading to Las Vegas.
The pop star announced a 16-date residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday. "Britney: Piece of Me" will debut Dec. 27.
Spears, 31, was in the Nevada desert for the announcement with more than 1,000 fans. Some dressed like the singer's signature schoolgirl look from her "... Baby One More Time" music video.
She said her show will feature her greatest hits as well as new material.
'Saturday Night Live' adds 6 players to cast
Beck Bennett, John Milhiser, Kyle Mooney, Mike O'Brien, Noel Wells and Brooks Wheelan will join the troupe as "SNL" enters its 39th season on Sept. 28.
"SNL" executive producer Lorne Michaels also said longtime "Weekend Update" anchor Seth Meyers will be joined at the "Update" desk by Cecily Strong. Last season was Strong's first as an "SNL" regular.
Michaels says the plan has Strong initially sharing the "Update" desk with Meyers, then going solo when he begins hosting "Late Night" in February. An alternative option might find Meyers remaining as "Update" co-anchor even after starting his "Late Night" duties.

Stock Upgrades: Dollar Tree Looks to End Its Nightmare on Elm Street
Justin Sharon
Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
One of the
most iconic photos of JFK
was of him and Jackie at a ticker tape parade in lower Manhattan, quite literally looking up at Wall Street. Five decades since that dreadful day in Dallas, from his celestial perch the 35th President can look down on an address that stands taller than ever. The
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) finished above 16,000 for the first time and
S&P 500 Index
(INDEXSP:.INX) shares snapped a three-session losing streak in similarly impressive style, as US stock markets continued their inexorable ascent. (The news wasn't quite so bright across the ocean, where a new report emphasized the "risk of a return to recession for France," according to Jack Kennedy.
Jack Kennedy the economist
, not Jack Kennedy the man who memorably told de Gaulle he would forever be known as "the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris.") Among stocks on the move,
Rite Aid
(NYSE:RAD), already up 400% in a year, rose another 3.53% on a
broker boost
. It was
founded in 1962
, the beehive heyday of
, and America's last year of innocence.
(NYSE:GME), based in the Dallas suburb of Grapevine, slumped 6.94% to post the S&P 500′s poorest performance. What tragic news came through the Texas grapevine five decades ago today
on Elm Street
, when JFK passed away and Lyndon Johnson took control. Eerily,
Johnson Controls
(NYSE:JCI) gained 4.42% yesterday to hit the highest level in its history.
There isn't any top-tier economic data due to move US markets today but, regarding specific stocks,
Ann Inc.
Destination XL Group
Foot Locker
Sirona Dental Systems
(NASDAQ:SIRO), and
Hibbett Sports
(NASDAQ:HIBB) all release quarterly results.
Aruba Networks
(NASDAQ:ARUN): Shares, surging before the bell, are boosted to Buy from Hold at Needham.
Bon-Ton Stores
(NASDAQ:BONT): The stock, on a stellar recent run, is now Neutral from Underperform at Credit Suisse.
Dollar Tree
(NASDAQ:DLTR): Dollar Tree stock slumped 4.48% yesterday but there is better news for the discount retail firm this morning. Barclays raises Dollar Tree to Overweight from Equal Weight.
Franklin Resources
(NYSE:BEN): Shares get upgraded to Overweight from Equal Weight at Evercore. Its price objective, previously $51, increases to $64.
(NYSE:GME): GameStop, whose stock tumbled even in yesterday's record-setting market, is moved to Buy from Hold at Needham. Its fresh price objective is $60. Needham notes that eagerly-awaited new consoles have arrived, in the form of both
(NYSE:SNE) PlayStation 4 and
(NASDAQ:MSFT) Xbox One.
United Continental
(NYSE:UAL): Citing its expectations for "outsized" upcoming earnings growth, Goldman Sachs gives the aviation outfit a Buy-from-Neutral boost, sending its stock up ahead of the open this morning. Yesterday, noted investor David Tepper called airlines his "big play in the market."
United Financial
(NASDAQ:UBNK): Shares are now Buy from Neutral at Sterne Agee.
(NYSE:PAY): Jefferies juices its research recommendation to Buy from Hold.
William Hill
(OTCMKTS:WIMHY): The British bookmaker is up impressively in today's London trading on the back of an Overweight-from-Equal Weight boost by Barclays. A share-price pullback of late has provided would-be investors in the betting behemoth with an "excellent opportunity," the bank believes.
Yum Brands
(NYSE:YUM): Yum Brands gets hoisted to Buy from Hold at Deutsche Bank, sending the stock (already at record highs) up again this morning. The bank notes both impressive earnings gains and ample free cash flow. Yum Brands owns KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell.

July 10, 2014 | Vol. 118 -- No. 12
During the summer, there are community events — big and small — that bring citizens together, including Medical Lake's Founder's Day, the Cheney Rodeo and the Cheney Jubilee.
These events are run by organizations and unpaid volunteers who sacrifice their time and resources to make the events happen.
But the number of individuals volunteering for these and other groups have declined in the last few years. In fact, volunteering has decreased across the United States.
According to a report from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS), volunteering has hit its lowest rate in more tha...

Pitching Matchups for Angels Series
The Yankees finish up a tough roadtrip tonight trying to win the series in Detroit with Joba on the mound against young Rick Porcello. They will begin a 4 game series with the Angels tomorrow night at home. It will be the start of a 8 game homestand, the Yankees have played the least amount of games at home in the majors up to this point and it will be nice to be home for a while. Here are the matchups vs the Angels: Tomorrow: Anthony Ortega vs A.J. Burnett Friday- Jered Weaver vs Andy Pettitte Saturday- Matt Palmer vs CC Sabathia Sunday- Joe Saunders vs Phil Hughes The Yankees never beat the Angels but this is their chance to win some games against them. Ortega will be making his second career start tomorrow, Weaver is good but struggles against the Yankees and Matt Palmer is making his 5th career start.

We should easily take 3 of 4, we have a huge advantage with those pitching matchups, Weaver is the only decent pitcher in that bunch. Tonight will likely seal Joba's fate, if he is still throwing 91-92, he is going to the pen. But what happens if he goes to the pen and still throws 91-92....Then what???ReplyDelete

Psalm 143
The spiritual dimensions of the psalms will often encompass fighting and battles. This seems paradoxical because many people believe that spiritual matters are all full of love and peace.
But Christians believe that they are in a continual war, that we are fighting sin in ourselves, temptations, the status quo, demonic principalities, spiritual sloth, despair, faithlessness, and countless other evils. They believe that Jesus not only came to save humans from death but that He came to plant God's kingdom in a rebellious world.
By managing to live a perfect life -- the only human to ever do so-Jesus did something mythic. He won back the authority man lost against sin, sickness, death, and demonic entities. Just as the first Adam caused us to be born subject to those things, Jesus -- the second Adam-- restored us again and destroyed/spoiled demonic princes.
One can believe all this if one has heart that loves myth. The world itself is a mythic place where words have power and spirit - kotodamai. Christians believe that doctrine is no mere set of rule to be believed but an explanation of how the world works, and a system which describes how to use God's power over demonic princes and earthly evils.
When the psalmist says, "For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead," he's not only thinking of human enemies. He's thinking of the relentlessness of the demonic, the relentlessness of sickness, the relentless choreography of evil that pursues those who love God. I say "choreography of evil" because evil is often directed, planned, and orchestrated.
Most people suffer in some ways because humans live in a fallen world. But there's a kind of suffering that pursues people - especially good people- because of the word of God is within them.
It's a harsh relentless suffering that can only be fought and endured and won with God's help...because it's a suffering whose sole end is to make the believer turn from God.
This is why the psalmist asks God for help. The psalmist is aware that God has power against evil and refuses to turn his eyes from God's truth.
1Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
2And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

EasyInstall 0.4a1: now with PyPI autodownload
Phillip J. Eby <pje <at> telecommunity.com>
I've just released a new version of EasyInstall, that supports automatic package location via PyPI; installing a package can now be as simple as: easy_install "SQLObject>=0.6" There are many new options and features related to this; see the EasyInstall home page for more information: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall For the benefit of the PyPI maintainers, here is a summary of EasyInstall's fairly minimal assumptions about PyPI's current behavior, assuming that "base-url" is the root URL of the package index: * Going to "base-url/SomePackage" produces an HTML page that either has a title containing "Index of Packages" and links to zero or more pages for specific versions, or else it is a single-version package page. * Single-version package pages may have a home page and download URL link, each of which occurs after 'Home Page' and 'Download URL' respectively, if present. * Going to "base-url/" (note trailing '/') produces an HTML page containing links to all active versions of registered packages * Links to package pages always have URLs of the form "base-url/SomePackage/itsVersion" - i.e., exactly two path parts following the base URL, with no query strings, parameters, fragments, etc. EasyInstall should continue to work with PyPI if these assumptions continue(Continue reading)

If you are a blues fan, you might want to consider a road trip this weekend. The Southeast Iowa Blues Society will hold their first ever Blue Ribbon Blues Festival at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds (2606 West Burlington Avenue) in Fairfield on Saturday, August 2. The festival will feature performances by four blues band, including headliner the Ghost Town Blues Band. The gates will open at 4:30 p.m., and the music will kick off shortly thereafter and run until 11 p.m. Advanced tickets are $15, and that price will jump to $18 the day of the show. Tickets for the event are available at Classic 96 Studios and Josie Hannes Designs in Fairfield, The Guitar Farm in New London, and Morgan's Bar in Ottumwa, or by calling (641) 919-7477. Food and beverage will be available for purchase at the event, and the festival will be open to all ages. Here is a look at the four acts that will be performing at the Blue Ribbon Blues Festival.
Headlining act the Ghost Town Blues Band hails from Memphis, Tennessee. The band finished second in the 2014 International Blues Challenge, which was held in their hometown's Orpheum Theater back in January. [You can check out part of the GTBB's performance at the IBC in the nearby video.] It wasn't the first time that the Ghost Town Blues Band represented their home region in the IBC, and it probably won't be the last. The band released their most recent album, 2012's Dark Horse, at the 2012 IBC.
Blues rocker Quay Thomas returns to his native Iowa (from his new home in Boston) on Saturday with his band the Quay Thomas Trio. Thomas has shared the stage with award-winning national acts like Samantha Fish, Jake McVey, and Scott Holt, as well as Iowa legends Bob Pace and Bryce Janey. Thomas released two albums last year, Please Stay in January and The Highway in late October.
The Soul Searchers and Tony Blew round out the festival lineup. The Soul Searchers are a Des Moines favorite. The band blends blues, surf rock, and rockabilly into a dynamic stage show. The Soul Searchers released their self-titled debut album in 2007, and they are past winners of the Iowa Blues Challenge. Multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Tony Blew has been a staple of the Ottumwa music scene for decades.

L Hotel Seminyak
Bar-hopping, boutique-shopping, beach-flopping: it's all yours for the taking at L Hotel Seminyak, a swank abode in Bali's most exclusive enclave. You'll be forgiven for forgetting what lies beyond your doorstep though, as luxurious suites, anything-you-ask service, rooftop restaurants and romantic bars all conspire to make you linger longer.
Great position, sandwiched between Seminyak's best restaurants, bars and boutiques
Gourmet dining in the mezzanine and rooftop restaurants
Intimate setting, personalised service, round-the-clock butler service
Smith extra
A 15-minute Indian Ayurvedic head massage each (limited to two people); GoldSmiths also get a serving of canapés at Luna rooftop bar
In the know
Also need to know:
Pets are not allowed. Organic treatments and mood-soothing massages are the order of the day at neighbouring L'Spa. Plus, there's a yoga studio with twice-daily stretch sessions, and a dedicated mani/pedi room overlooking the spa's private pool.
Packing tips:
Bring your yoga kit, swimwear and designer gear for bar-hopping by night. Leave suitcase space to take home Seminyak's boutique booty.
Dress code:
Bright and breezy by day to match the easy-does-it Balinese holiday mode. Dress to impress by night, when flip-flops are a no-no.

A three year old girl lost in a forest has been rescued after she miraculously survived alone in the woods of Siberia for 11 days with her puppy. The little girl, Karina Chikitova, was rescued by the security forces of the Republic of Sakha after spending over a week lost in the forest. An Aug. 12 report from the Toronto Sun explained that rescuers found the child huddled amid the weeds.
Karina disappeared on July 29 allegedly due to a mistake made by her parents. Her father undertook a journey to his home village without knowing that his daughter, with her puppy, followed after him. Meanwhile, the mother believed that the child was with her husband. Four days later, both realized their terrible misunderstanding.
Throughout the days the girl was missing, she survived by feeding on wild berries and drinking water from a river nearby where bears and wolves roamed.
But the fundamental support for Karina was her puppy. The little dog kept her warm on the cold nights in this part of Russia, where nighttime temperatures can dip to zero degrees Celsius.
"Two days before we found Karina her puppy came back home," said Afanasiy Nikolayev, spokesman for the Sakha Republic Rescue Service."So when her dog came back we thought 'that's it' - even if she was alive - and chances were slim - now she would have definitely have lost all hopes. Our hearts truly and deeply sank," Nikolayev expressed. However, the puppy led the rescue team to where the girl was sheltered.
Karina was conscious and in apparent good health. She was taken to a hospital in Yakutsk where the various tests have proved that the girl is in perfect condition though weak.

This is a small restaurant in a strip mall in Murphy, Texas not far from Southfork Ranch.
We walked up to the counter and ordered. They had a few options for burgers and I ordered a double double with cheese and bacon. I usually don't order a double but the patties were 1/3 lbs so I went for the big one this time. There were no options for cooking temperature so I assumed it would be well-done.
The wait was short and the burgers came out freshly made with fries. The patties were thin and cooked well-done. The burger itself was alright. The meat was probably fatty with more than 20% fat, because the burger was actually juicy. The taste was nothing special, but the burger was freshly made and had no flaws. The cheese and bacon was not tasty at all and I could probably have done without it. I also think that the burger was seasoned a tad too much with salt. It was pretty salty for my taste.
The fries were really good frozen fries. They were crisp and cooked just right, and the seasoning was spot on.
The burgers at Deno's grill are traditional non-fancy burgers. If you just like a fresh burger and you are the kind of person that like them well-done, this is the place for you. If you prefer a more tasty and maybe a bit more fancy, you will probably not like this place too much.

NEW YORK -- It's tempting
to take George Piper Dances for a marketing ploy -- the company
almost demands it. Its founders, William Trevitt and Michael Nunn,
are known as the "Ballet Boyz," words spray-painted rebelliously
on their promotional images, and they run sassy video documentary
/ travelogue segments during costume changes. But as seen in the
troupe's New York debut at the Joyce Theater Tuesday, their technical
skills as Royal Ballet alums and their savvy at choosing repertory
and dancers say we would be wise to take this chamber-sized company
of five quite seriously.
Between Ballett Frankfurt's
season at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, American Ballet
Theatre's recent presentation of "workwithinwork," and now GPD's
rendition of the1984 work "Steptext," New Yorkers have been veritably
wallowing in William Forsythe's choreography this fall. In "Steptext,"
Forsythe at first pulls apart the disparate elements of a dance:
house lights remained up, stage lights dark. After a soundtrack
of chattering voices, snippets of Bach switched on and off, sounding
more like noise than music, while two isolated men whirled and positioned
their arms (seen separately on video being marked dutifully by Trevitt
in his hotel bathtub after a rehearsal with Forsythe, also shown).
The lights assumed their "proper" roles for a moment, and Oxsana
Panchenko entered, all business, clapping her forearms together
like a chalkboard or a dire warning of some kind. The partnering
focused on aggressive tugs of war and violent yankings into deep
penches and angled front extensions. Trevitt, in a strong solo,
showed his feline power, alternating big arcing jumps with whipping
pencil turns. The wiry Panchenko demonstrated complete body control
in even the most violent of moves, although she externalized her
facial emotions a bit hotly for Forsythe's cool, analytical tone.
They were joined by Hubert Essakow.
The company danced the
New York premiere of Christopher Wheeldon's "Mesmerics," set to
sonorous Philip Glass music. Wheeldon has a fundamental respect
for ballet vocabulary, leaving it largely intact while making small
but cumulative forays. Simple things took on emotional weight --
a woman tendued through a standing man's legs, establishing closeness.
Or she stood on pointe in a wide second, and allowed her tipping
self to be caught. And in another scene, a man danced with a phantom
partner, his arm shaping around her absent body. The dancers --
Trevitt, Nunn, Panchenko, Essakow and Monica Zamora -- later moved
in canon, sliding through arabesques; plie-ing in second, they wheeled
their arms and flicked their loose hands to one side. The music
set a serene tone, but toward the end of the work, it seemed as
if Wheeldon strained to match its ponderousness move-for-note. Julius
Lumsden designed the work and the red-piped short unitards made
of black and sheer panels.
Russell Maliphant's
2002 "Torsion," in its New York premiere, provided a keen example
of how ballet training equips certain dancers for just about anything.
A video clip screened just prior to the piece warned us that we
were about to see some pretty hard stuff -- precarious balances
between Trevitt and Nunn, both powerhouse dancers, who were having
hilarious difficulty on the video. Obviously they figured it out,
and on stage impressively executed Maliphant's style which, once
movement was initiated, flowed seamlessly. (He tends to create "event
phrases," between which the dancers walk casually.) Moves within
a phrase used energy from the previous move to create a continuous
stream, as in capoeira. Maliphant smartly intuits the laws of physics
in his dances -- seen in the aforementioned upside-down balances,
or in action/reaction chains in which one performer's hip buckled,
and the following moves fell into place in consequence, like dominos.
Toward the end, one man leveraged the other's stiffened body, pointing
him at the audience like a rocket launcher, which suited their prison-style
indigo costumes by FCUK. These were skilled dancers interpreting
provocative choreography, and the result was hypnotic. Richard English
provided the varied, percussive score; Michael Hulls lit this work
and "Mesmerics."

What is the easiest way to setup full Clang, libc++ and LLVM as default global toolchain? All of my attempts to build it, in most of the configurations I could think of, resulted in working Clang, but it didn't use libc++ headers, but default GCC's libstd++'s ones, resulting in numerous faults in incompatible pieces of library code.
I would like it working out of the box, without having to do magic in
.bashrc or passing all those
-stdlib=libc++ and
-lc++ to compiler and linker.

|OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the ability of a questionnaire regarding the nonphysical aspects of quality of life (QOL) to differentiate sick and healthy dogs. ANIMALS: 120 dogs. PROCEDURE: The questionnaire was administered by telephone to owners of 120 dogs with appointments at a veterinary teaching hospital. A QOL score was calculated for each dog on the basis of questions relevant to the dog during the 7 days before the interview. Scores were recorded as bar graphs, and linear regression was used to examine the effect of health status and other variables on QOL score. Certain questions were eliminated post hoc, on the basis of defined criteria, and the analyses were repeated. RESULTS: Scores were similar for sick (range, 670% to 93.8%) and healthy (range, 68.0% to 89.8%) dogs. Environment (suburban vs rural) and duration of ownership were significant explanatory variables and accounted for 10.5% of the variation in the QOL score. Eleven questions were eliminated post hoc. The scores derived from the 2 versions of the questionnaire were highly correlated (r = 0.92). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: There was no evidence that the QOL questionnaire could differentiate healthy dogs from sick dogs; environmental and owner factors appeared to be more important.

It's Application Time
To be honest, writing applications, i.e. cover letters and resumes/CVs, in German and especially in English is something new for me. Of course, I also had to write an application to the GFZ in Potsdam for my job as a student assistent but this was rather easy (still not informal) and way faster than this time. The general problem about all this application stuff is not that you have to be the best applicant but that you have to know all the (country-specific) dos and don'ts. There are thousands of so-called application experts on the German-speaking Internet and each of them advises different things to do or rather not to do. It's really hard to pick out the information I consider to be useful but in the end I've found one web site with really good advises. You just need to multiply this by ten (hundred, thousand?) for international/English-speaking applications and you gonna find out why I'm stressed out. Anyway, I don't want to blame anyone for my misery because every applicant needs to go through all this but nevertheless it sucks.
My personal problem right now is that most of my fellow students are not as interested in doing an internship as I am. Moreover, most of our academics are out on field trips which means they can't help me either. So, I have to do most of it on my own. This makes me feel like a small light in the big darkness finding my way. At moments like these, I really ask myself whether I'm too much into this or if the others live too much for the moment. However, I don't mind what others do. It's my way to becoming a geophysicist!

ahh, well i talked about guys like you with my "boss" in the museum.
she said that pretty much all of the guys wanted to get into the oil buisness. they all wanted to earn a whole lot of money with it, but she also said that none, really none of them made it.
one man she is still friends with even ended up as a bus driver, because he didnt find a job.
i hope it all goes well for you.
do you have a back-up plan? i mean beside that whole oil stuff?

That is something new for me.
Most sources I've read or talked to say that the big oil companies are desperately looking for fresh blood. There was an oil boom in the 70s or so and many of those who began back then are at retiring age now.
Maybe there is a difference between paleontologist and geophysicist?
Moreover, it's not like I want to work in the oil business at any price. I'm just eager to find out if it's really the way I imagine it. Doing an internship does not mean that I will be bound to the oil business for the rest of my career.
My back-up plan? Probably GFZ. They offer internships, too. Or maybe bus driver. ;-)

Opposition damages public morality with Oravida claims
Today's New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll shows a large jump in support for National (48.5%, up 5.5%) now with its largest lead over a potential Labour/Greens alliance (40%, down 5%) since July 2013 as New Zealanders celebrated the visit of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge.
Support for National's coalition partners is little changed with the Maori Party 1% (down 0.5%), ACT NZ (0.5%, unchanged) and United Future 0% (down 0.5%).
Support for the Labour Party has fallen to 28.5% (down 3.5%) – clearly the lowest support under new Labour Leader David Cunliffe, and the lowest Labour support since April 2012, the Greens have fallen to 11.5% (down 1.5%), New Zealand First 5.5% (unchanged), Mana Party 1% (up 0.5%), Conservative Party of NZ 2% (down 0.5%) and Internet Party (1%, up 0.5%) while support for Others is 0.5% (unchanged).
If a National Election were held now the latest New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll shows that the National party would regain government for a third term.
The latest NZ Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating has jumped to 143pts (up 10pts) with 65% (down 4%) of New Zealanders saying New Zealand is 'heading in the right direction' compared to 22% (down 6%) that say New Zealand is 'heading in the wrong direction'.
Oravida scandal not registering
Gary Morgan says, "The slump in support for the main opposition parties suggests Prime Minister John Key is set to win a third term in office as Prime Minister at September's election. The strong rise in support for National shows electors have moved past the scandal involving Justice Minister Judith Collins – despite Labour MPs continuing to press the issue. Today's results show it is time Labour focused more on articulating its policies for the electorate than trying to damage National."
Mr Morgan adds, "The potential tie-up between the as yet unregistered Internet Party and Hone Harawira's Mana Party is still on the cards after Internet Party founder Kim Dotcom addressed Mana Party members last weekend. If the two parties can agree to work together on one list they are likely to get an extra 1 or 2 candidates into Parliament on the back of Hone Harawira retaining his Maori electorate of Te Tai Tokerau."
Electors were asked: "If a New Zealand Election were held today which party would receive your party vote?" This latest New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll on voting intention was conducted by telephone – both landline and mobile telephone, with a NZ wide cross-section of 810 electors from March 31 – April 14, 2014. Of all electors surveyed 5% (down 0.5%) didn't name a party.

Red Raiders Open 2012 With 2-1 Victory Over Idaho
Paige Strahan gave the Red Raiders a 2-1 victory over Idaho Friday night with a game-winning goal in the 82nd minute.
Box Score | Photo Gallery | Post Game Interviews | Texas Tech Notes | Quotes
LUBBOCK, Texas. - Texas Tech opened the 2012 season with a thrilling 2-1 win over Idaho Friday night at the John Walker Soccer Complex. Sophomore Paige Strahan provided the game-winning goal in the 82nd minute of action to give the Red Raiders the win in front of an announced crowd of 1,117.
"I thought we adjusted nicely tonight," head coach Tom Stone said. "My biggest impression was that when they equalized after we had been all over them for 80 minutes, our team was not going to accept a draw. We just turned up the volume, scored the second goal and it was over."
Texas Tech scored the opening goal less than a minute into the match when freshman Janine Beckie punched a shot into the back of the net just 57 seconds into the match.
With the goal, Beckie became the first Red Raider to score a goal in her Texas Tech debut since Jessica Fuston in 2010.
Beckie finished the match with a game-high eight shots on the night.
The Red Raiders went on to control the first half of the match, outscoring Idaho 10-5 heading into the intermission and eventually outscoring the Vandals 22-7 for the match. Idaho responded late in the second half when Chelsea Small scored on a deflection in front of the net to tie the game at 1-1.
However, it took the Red Raiders less than four minutes to respond with a goal of their own as Strahan gave the Red Raiders the winning goal at the other end to seal the match.
Tech returns to action at the John Walker Soccer Complex Sunday at noon when they host regional rival New Mexico.

Day 10!
As my team and I await our ten hour flight on Saturday in the London airport, amazed at how in just two hours time we went from using Euros to pounds, I sit and reflect on our experience in Italy.
Overwhelmed with thoughts of an amazing journey, my mind finally focuses on each individual place visited and our experiences there. I'm taken back to Rome, where we stared in awe at Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, touched 2000 year-old marble sculptures, and walked the same ground as Saint Peter, one of the earliest martyred Christians.
I'm then taken to Florence, where we shopped for family and friends. The next stop was Venice, where my teammates and I made a video to our own version of "That's Amore" by Dean Martin while riding the gondolas. The following day we enjoyed Italian pizza and pasta after a fun game against Udine in one of the hottest gyms I've ever played in! Lake Como was one of the most elegant cities I've ever seen and was a nice relaxing way to end an adventure-packed trip with some amazing people.
This trip allowed our team the opportunity to bond and create chemistry as a group and allowed us as individuals to explore and experience a very unique culture. I'm sure I speak for my team when I say Thank You! to everyone who contributed in making this trip possible!
Peace and light,
Mariah Williams

The Fame Game
Designer Andrey Artyomov makes a name for himself—the modern way.
While some labels hire brand ambassadors and splash out millions of dollars on ad campaigns, Andrey Artyomov relies on his friends to promote his work. Fortunately, among the upstart Russian designer's pals are Moscow's biggest street-style stars—the stylist Natasha Goldenberg, the photographer Ilona Stolie, and the gallerist Nina Gomiashvili—who can be seen out on the town at hot spots like Bar Strelka and Ping Pong Club Moscow, and across social media platforms in looks from Artyomov's two-and-a-half-year-old line, Walk of Shame.
"We don't have any budget for advertising, and we don't have a website," says Artyomov, 32, a former editor at L'Officiel Russia who went on to launch Russian Tatler and the short-lived Dazed and Confused Russia. But his following—girls who, like him, were young children when the Berlin Wall came down—are more apt to peruse Tumblr and Instagram than the pages of fashion bibles anyway. And his improvised strategy appears to be working: Artyomov's spring collection was picked up by Opening Ceremony in New York. Walk of Shame is an ode to his generation, full of post-Soviet "You had to be there" references: salmon-colored sweaters emblazoned with i am luxury; silk pajamas printed with tattoos; butter-soft tees adorned with screen shots from porn films like Deep Throat or embroidered with the Walk of Shame logo in the style of bad '90s Gucci and Benetton knockoffs. "What's so cool about Andrey is that he really has this link to what it was like when we were growing up—what you saw on TV, the first erotic movies," says Natasha Turovnikova, a DJ and blogger.
These days, Artyomov's gang is taking the promotion of his line to a level of performance. "When everyone goes out together, we all try to do something in order to get tagged #walkofshame," Turovnikova says. That can mean dancing suggestively atop a bar wearing one of Artyomov's silk slips or posing in little more than an oversize quilted jacket. A picture of Stolie, smoking in bed wearing Artyomov's violet-dyed fur coat, garnered 857 likes. "Andrey doesn't need Vogue," Turovnikova argues. "He has us. He has Instagram and Facebook. Today, that's what counts."Follow Us:

It's party time! The second title in our popular foreskin-centric series -- "Uncut Cock Pool Party" -- follows 13 hot, hung, and horny studs as they suck and fuck each other the only way porn stars know how! From a poolside orgy to a tryst in the game room, the action doesn't get any more hardcore than this -- and the dicks don't get any more uncut! Don't miss out!
Versatile Akos likes everything about sex, especially S/M. When he's not doing porn he's a seminar trainer in "soft skills." We don't know what that means, exactly, but we like it. And him.
Buck loves big dicks (watching him get drilled by hottie Lucio Mavverick in Cruising Budapest 3) and threeways (especially when he's in the middle fucking and getting fucked at the same time)! He's a go-go dancer in Budapest, so ask him for a lap dance next time you see him.
Bi boy Evan has a HUGE dick, and he knows how to use it! He loves sucking and using his giant schlong to piss on guys. Ukranian hottie Tony gets a mouthful of Evan's piss and cum in Auditions 17. Evan also has two memorable threesome scenes: one on a pool table in Uncut Cock Pool Party, and the other next to a pool in Cruising Budapest 2: Ben Andrews!
Stud Glenn gets it from TWO huge, uncut cocks at the same time in Uncut Cock Pool Party.
Jack's got the kind of toned bod and big dick that we're looking for in a Lucas man. He's already done two scenes for us--one in Uncut Cock Pool Party and the other in Cruising Budapest 1: Michael Lucas (opposite our favorite Milan Gamiani)--but here's looking to countless more!
Popular top Lucio bottoms for the very first time for Michael Lucas in Cruising Budapest III. Michael fucks Lucio's tight ass in multiple positions until the cum flies... and Lucio swallows it all back up again! When he's not having sex, Lucio works as an IT manager and plays video games. The man's got the brains to go with that bod!
Mario is a hot bottom who loves integrating candles into his sex life and absolutely loves getting his "ass fucked very hard." Here, here! In his free time he does martial arts to stay fit.
Hottie Rick has been a staple in our International series, appearing in both Uncut Cock Pool Party and Cruising Budapest 2: Ben Andrews, among others!
Steve comes from a Hungarian town called "Pecs." Pretty fitting for a furry stud like him! A student in college, he has dreams of coming to the States to live.
Beefy Ted landed on the cover of Men magazine for his incredible job of fucking and sucking in Uncut Cock Pool Party. The thick-dicked stud continues to be a fan favorite with his work in Cruising Budapest 2: Ben Andrews.
Will is a sex pig if we ever saw one! Self-fister, dildo-lover, and piss-recipient—it's all there in his hardcore scene in Uncut Cock Pool Party!

I just got off the phone with a potential client of SpiderLoop SEO control panel, and I was astounded by the conversation. I didn't have to educate him on what we do. He had done his homework. I didn't have to show him 100 different results that SpiderLoop had achieved like I usually do. He had already researched them. I didn't have to show him the SpiderLoop MEME.
He was already using it. I didn't even have to convince him that SpiderLoop is safe. He was already familiar with the search engine guidelines and how SpiderLoop fell into those guidelines. What I had to convince him of was why SpiderLoop is so affordable (he used the word cheap but I hate that word).
For two and a half hours we went around about what the catch is. "Do I have to pay for upgrades?" He asks. "No" I say. Do I have to pay for support? He asks. "No" again I say. "Do I have to market more then one keyword?" He queries. "No but you should" I retort. "So what's the catch?" he asks for the tenth time. "I'm sorry sir, I really don't think there is one." I say.
"You can't get SEO software for $1.00 a month that works" he says. I politely reply "Would you like me to show you some examples?" "No" he says "I've already seen them".
I get questions like this frequently, this isn't my first time, but it's always hard to reconcile. I almost believe that if we raised our prices we would sell more units, but I can't bring myself to do it. The idea of automating SEO safely, scientifically, and affordably is no longer a holy grail, it just is.
The only catch (to some people) is that you have to be on a Windows server rather then a UNIX box but to me that's a plus. It's not more expensive to be on a Windows server and you get the option of using a lot more dynamic programming types including ASP.NET. SpiderLoop works. And yes it even works at $1.00 per month, though most SpiderLoop clients are using 50 keywords or more.
We are constantly upgrading SpiderLoop and adding new features, and yes they are all included in your license. If you have to call and ask questions be my guest our number is listed all over the site. SpiderLoop is here to stay and it will always remain affordable. Let the greedy SEO's continue to charge $2000.00 a month and do very little. Sooner or later even they will have to concede that automated with a touch of human element is the way to go.
