POMPANO BEACH, FL - DECEMBER 12: Bruce Wolczanski drives a 1955 Volkswagen Oval-Window bus in the parking lot at his McNab Foreign Car garage that specializes in restoring VW vehicles on December 12, 2013 in Pompano Beach, Florida. After 64 years, the German automaker announced it will finally stop producing the bus on December 20 in Brazil, the last country in the world to manufacture the van. Mr. Wolczanski said, 'he feels bad that the car will no longer be made, but it will live on as people drag them out of barns, fields and backyards and restore them'. He sees the buses continue to have a cult following with more and more young people buying and restoring the buses, "they will never die". (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)

We love getting feedback from our readers - we'd love to hear what you liked or disliked, what you'd like to see in the future, or simply what you think of IntoMobile. No suggestion or critique is too small or overlooked.
Contact UsThe EVO View 4G is a version of the Flyer made for Sprint. In that sense, it dumps the GSM radio for the CDMA one, while also adding WiMAX connectivity. Rest of the specs remain the same and include things like two cameras (5-megapixel on the back and 1.3-megapixel on the front), 1.5GHz single-core processor, WiFi, GPS, 32GB of built-in storage and a memory card slot.

Take a moment to look at all of the buildings around the next time you walk or drive down the street and you will notice their many differences. The same is true for fabric covered buildings. For the most part, every application is different, which means each requires a different type of shelter.
Customization is one of the greatest advantages that this type of building has over traditional metal, wood or brick-and-mortar structure. Fabric enclosures can be designed to provide a solution for virtually any sheltering need from fantasy wedding venues to horse riding arenas.
Here are a few ways these buildings are being used all around the world today:
- Warehousing and material storage
- Recycling
- Airplane hangars
- Military applications
- Recreation, such as various team sports
- Special events, such as weddings, reunions, parties, graduations, etc.
- Church, both regular worship as well as special events
It makes no difference if you need a 300 x 80-foot mega-building or a simple fabric building; practically any request can be met. Full service engineering and design is available, in addition to expedited delivery anywhere in the world. When you choose to go with custom fabric covered buildings, no location is too remote and no application is to great or small.
Custom fabric shelters have been meeting the building needs, both temporary as well as permanent, of numerous organizations worldwide, such as industry, government and military for many, many years.
Computer-aided design and the highest quality materials are used in the construction of these enclosures. These completely customizable buildings have been used successfully as flight line sunshades, military hangars, maintenance shelters, construction tents, hazmat containment shelters, gas and oil shelters, dry dock covers and various types of storage buildings.
Tension fabric enclosures can be assembled quickly and anchored to any surface with no need for a foundation or any special site preparations. In addition, they will withstand even the most extreme weather conditions, including heavy snow and high winds.
Portable or permanent fabric covered buildings are available in custom shapes and sizes, which makes them perfect for any type of application. Perhaps one of the greatest benefits to choosing this type of structure for your project is that you are not confined to typical building sizes and standard widths. You choose the height and width that best suits your application.
In addition to size and shape, these structures also have a wide selection of supplementary options and accessories from which you can choose to make your enclosure even more tailored to meet your exact needs.
If you are looking for a temporary or fixed shelter to protect your jobsite and crew from the weather, provide storage space or contain a specific area, but you do not want to pay the huge cost of erecting a conventional structure, the ideal alternative you seek is fabric covered buildings. These structures offer a solution that is quick and easy to set up at any location for a fraction of the cost of a traditional wood, metal or brick building.

Editor's Note
Summer in Maine is all about house guests. In the springtime Mainers begin receiving unexpected calls and emails from old college classmates and second cousins twice removed who are planning a trip to the Pine Tree State, and by the way, would we happen to have a spare room where they could spend the night? Being obliging sorts by nature, we dust off the porch, launder the linens, and shake the road sand out of the welcome mat. When you are entertaining company, you want your place to look good.
The same might be said for a magazine. If you are new to Down East, we hope you enjoy your visit. Regular readers might notice that we've done some overdue housekeeping with this issue. As part of our redecorating we've moved the furniture around. For instance, we've placed the "What's in a Picture" feature in our "North by East" section to make room for a new "From Our Archive" page that takes you back to 1954 when you could still buy a waterfront house for ten grand. We've added lots of little touches to make your experience more pleasurable, but you will still find everything you love about the Magazine of Maine here or (as with the calendar listings) online at DownEast.com.
The table of contents on pages 2 and 4 can direct you around our renovated rooms, or you can enjoy the surprises as you read. Either way, we bid you welcome and hope you'll stay as long as you like. Our house is — and always has been — your house.

text: 17 February 2010 archive Tweet See all show photos SOPHIE THEALLET today took to the catwalk as the proud recipient of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund 2009 - which she scooped at the end of last year. Not only a highly prestigious accolade to boast among one's style CV – it was won by Alexander Wang the year before – it meant that she pocketed herself, or rather her label, $200,00 in prize money. Not a bad way to start the year. And judging by the looks she presented on her autumn/winter 2010-11 catwalk today, it won't be a bad end to the year either. Theallet - who began her career working under Azzedine Alaia – gave us the flirty bohemian styles for which she is well known (the first look out a swingy gypsy dress in black), combined with a nod to the Seventies via billowy sleeves, shirts tucked into high waists and square-neck dresses in maroon reds. There were dressing gown-styles of coat, jacket and dress – the latter reinterpreted to a suitably short and sweet length – and forest green velvet tunic tops, tie and wrap details that daintily framed a waist or knotted, toga-style, around a shoulder. Cardigans came cute and preppy, while colours varied from black – to begin with – to medieval and clay red, green and candyfloss pink bursts to silvery oyster and opal hues on ornate and iridescent gowns bespeckled with pearl dots. Emphasis here was on the wearable not the outlandish. But everyone always needs something beautiful to be able to rely on.

If you have been job hunting for a long time, being frustrated is natural. It is easy to botch things up for silly reasons. Here are some tips from Project ASSIST's job hunting gurus about mistakes you can avoid making while job hunting.
Never cancel appointments, unless the sun crashes into the earth or you are in jail or on your deathbed.
Don't forget to return a phone call. If an employer calls you, call them back as soon as you possibly can.
Being downright rude: If you are lucky enough to land a job interview, don't mess it up by having poor social skills. Smile. Do not let the employer know how stupid you think they are (even if they are) or how stupid you really think their job/product/service is (even if you think they are.) Don't contradict the employer. Be humble. Don't curse. Remember you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
Not listening. Do not make an employer think you do not care what they are saying by not listening completely to what they are saying. Respond in a manner that lets them know you heard what they said and considered it.
Wearing a Family Guy T shirt and ripped jeans. Wear appropriate clothes to job interviews.
Not attending Project ASSIST's Job Club meetings. Project ASSIST's Job Club meets every Monday morning from 9-10:30 am, at our offices at 1700 B President Avenue (behind the Newport Creamery). Join fellow community members to discuss successes and frustrations in job searching/unemployment, chat, laugh, drink coffee, and engage in a discussion.
Also feel free to join us from 10:30 to 12 p.m. (same day) for our online job hunting group. Members search the internet as a group, and sometimes one on one with a case manager to see what new job openings/possibilities are out there. Don't go at it alone. This is a great way to start your week in good company, from a positive place. Feel free to join one or both groups. There is no charge for either group.

Former Michigan State University quarterback Kirk Cousins is now headed to the Washington Redskins, and he's crediting a Mid-Michigan doctor for some of his NFL draft success.
Kirk Cousins' unique training strategy is not an ordinary workout - he focuses on training his brain. Cousins says he reached out to Neurocore, a brain-training clinic in Okemos, to take his game to the next level. Neurocore provides cutting-edge technology to improve brain performance for athletes and corporate executives.
"These men and women are already in the zone, but they're trying to get sharper and sharper," said Dr. Timothy Royer, neuropsychologist and founder of Neurocore. "Because they know the closer they get to the middle, they can see the seams on the ball better and have more clarity in decision-making."
Cousins turned to Dr. Royer's clinic to make sure his brain was running at the highest level.
"There's nothing wrong with Kirk's brain," said Dr. Royer. "He just wanted to take things to the next level, to see how quick and efficient his brain works."
About 20 percent of Dr. Royer's clients are like Cousins - high functioning athletes and corporate execs who want to improve focus and stamina. The other 80 percent are people with clinical issues like sleep problems, attention deficit disorders, and anxiety.
"Our biggest issue is to help those individuals who have been over-medicated and poorly diagnosed," Dr. Royer said. "The answer isn't just to give you a pill, but to see what's causing that in your brain and in your body. That's the important thing."
Dr. Royer performs a neurodiagnostic work-up on all of his patients. Essentially, his program hopes to regulate and assess the brain's running speed, which in turn improves breathing and heart rate. He says his methods have a high success rate.
"About 75% of people with ADHD, we're able to get them off their medicine and cure them," said Dr. Royer.
Dr. Royer says ultimately, your brain is your most precious commodity.
"The stronger your brain is, the better everything else is - relationships, health, emotions, work performance, athletic performance."
Dr. Royer also told me that whether his patients come in for clinical reasons, or to work on peak performance, the common element for both is that their sleep patterns are disturbed. He says the brain should get 8 hours and 15 minutes of sleep each night, but the average American gets less than 7 hours.
His advice for people to help improve brain performance is to get more sleep, and evaluate breathing. Many Americans tend to have fast breathing pattern, but Dr. Royer says it's a good idea to work on breathing slower and from the diaphragm instead of the chest.
He says it's also important to have proper nutrition, and to make sure the brain gets healthy food to run on.

NRO Symposium
March 6, 2012
by Jack David
A responsible U.S. policy on Israel would have the president and high U.S. officials in his administration unambiguously advance U.S. interests and restore trusting relations with Israel. Here are the essential elements:
1. The U.S. would declare that Israel needs no approval from Washington or anyone else to defend itself from the perils it sees. Moreover, the U.S. would declare that Israel would have U.S. military and political support if it decided it had to take military action to defend itself against attack.
2. The U.S. would declare that the continued existence of Israel is a vital U.S. interest.
3. With regard to Iran, the U.S. would declare that Iran's declaration of intent to end Israel's existence combined with Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and the means of delivering them near and far constitutes a mortal threat to Israel as well as a threat to other vital U.S. interests. This threat is so great as to justify preemptive military action unless immediately removed.
4. The U.S. would declare that Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state with defensible and secure borders and to have its capital in an undivided Jerusalem.
5. The U.S. would declare that it would be guided by the foregoing principles insofar as they concern negotiations between representatives of Palestinian Arabs and Israel, ensuring Palestinian Arabs a secure state of their own.
6. The U.S. would declare that it opposes the practice of government-supplied educational materials and government-run institutions, such as schools, newspapers, and television programs that disseminate hate-inspiring messages about Israel, the United States, Jews, Christians, or any other group. The U.S. would take these heinous practices into account in all aspects of its relationships with governments that engage in them, including foreign aid.

By Steve DeVane Staff writer
ABERDEEN - Town commissioners told a developer it could cut down trees on land beside a planned CVS pharmacy, reversing their earlier decision.
Commissioners directed staff members at a Nov. 29 work session to tell a developer that the trees needed to be saved.
The trees are on one of three tracts near U.S. 1 and U.S. 15-501. Commissioners approved a conditional use permit for the land in July, including a prohibition on clear cutting.
A CVS is proposed for a tract on U.S. 1. A building on the land that was formerly a breakfast restaurant will be demolished.
Commissioners don't know what is planned for land beside or behind the proposed CVS. The developer wants to cut down trees on the tract beside the proposed property where an old hotel now stands.
Mayor Pro Tem Robert A. Farrell, who presided at a meeting Monday in the absence of Mayor Elizabeth Mofield, said Wednesday that the developer presented a plan that would remove the trees in phases. He said the land would not be clear-cut.
Pam Graham, the town's senior planner, said a live oak with a trunk that is 35 inches in diameter and 14 longleaf pines will be removed. The pines have trunks about 16 inches in diameter and are about 70 feet tall.
Aberdeen's tree conservation law prohibits cutting down trees with trunks larger than 12 inches in diameter unless a developer can demonstrate a reasonable burden from leaving the trees standing.
Commissioners voted 3-2 Monday that leaving the trees would place an unreasonable burden on the developer. Farrell and commissioners Pat Ann McMurray and Walter Wright voted in favor of the motion. Commissioners Alan Parker and Jim Thomas voted against it.
McMurray proved to be the swing vote. She initially voted to keep the trees but said she changed her mind after the developer said the trees would be replaced.
"They've been very assuring, at least to me, that they're going to do right by the property," she said Wednesday.
McMurray said she also was encouraged that the developer said it has found a tenant for the land beside the proposed CVS, but she did not say what it will be.
"It's not going to look like half a project," she said.

Do we need expensive OLED screens in laptops?
There's been an alarming amount of chatter recently about laptop makers adding thin-but-expensive OLED displays to systems in the near future. At this week's IFA trade show in Germany, Tech Radar reports that Kyu Uhm, Head of Worldwide Sales and Marketing for Samsung's Computing Division, told an audience, "Samsung is the largest OLED screen manufacturer. And as soon as it's available commercially for laptops we will adopt it." His best estimate was, "Probably sometime Q3 next year."
Sony and Lenovo have also talked about adding the technology to laptops, and while the … Read more

Yesterday we brought you an undercover video exposing a Planned Parenthood is willing to assist women interested in sex selective abortions.
Now this despite the fact that the organization is opposed to terminating a pregnancy based on the gender.
And as a battle rages on over your tax dollars supporting abortions another hidden camera investigation from the group live action has surfaced.
Showing exactly how your money is being used act clinics all across the United States.
And so if you he -- decided that even if you find out that it's a girl.
And you decided that.
What you would prefer -- terminate the pregnancy and that's just your decision I can tell you that you hear -- -- didn't believe.
It's not up to us to decide what -- it -- hear that reason the reason he decided.
To terminate their pregnancy.
Pretty shocking and earlier today Democrats in the US house defeated a bill that would ban -- based on gender or not surprisingly.
The White House also oppose the legislation.
Here now with reaction Fox's contributor Chris on -- and from Concerned Women for America penny Nance.
This offend you in any way and and look forget about a few pro life to pro choice for second -- the idea that we're gonna give 484.
Million dollars to Planned Parenthood.
And you see that kind of advice when I -- I'm asking him because to me that shocks the conscience.
That's sounds like China.
But doesn't sound like the United States -- I want pro choice is all I -- boy not a girl wanna girl not a boy.
Does that -- does that not.
Hurt you inside as your conscience bother you would all about that nobody wants to see anyone ever gonna -- and of course nobody wants to see somebody choosing whether it's a boy or girl that's not what anyone wanted to say that the Democrats defeated this today but -- is not really sincere.
The Republicans defeated by putting it on the suspension calendar and the House of Representatives say have a majority if they needed two -- they did in this video because they're really -- to happen but that they wanted to just say that because it's gonna be demagogued by a by the left and obviously I think you know it's interesting penny because the president in the White House.
You know you go back in there though they weren't sure where they stood on the issues so obviously a lot of political strategy went in to this decision.
I find this is so shocking to the conscience.
And then when you look at the money that we give to Planned Parenthood taxpayer dollars it makes it that much more -- -- this is outrageous what happened today this is the deliberate subtraction of women person from society.
And this is the real war on women not the made up version that the Democrats came up -- and yet the president Planned Parenthood and -- guest house Democrats.
And on nine -- -- -- voted against this bell all stint together to defeat this bell and we're not only -- yet.
McCain John be defeated this bill by putting it on the suspension calendar my let yeah.
I -- -- a federal money -- Planned -- -- -- abortion.
That is our rages not a don't know knowing anything about this and get -- -- have a show that's eleven -- about -- yeah.
-- -- and -- finish what I'm about the line here as.
That the Democrats stay with Planned Parenthood -- being caught red handed -- Guillen going against what society believes is important.
They are supporting they supported the -- RIX people they thought -- sex traffickers they've had a 107.
And you're talking about I don't get paid by some filmmaker you know maybe more everyday you're gonna pay.
I want smaller government maybe I don't want government in my bedroom in my diet -- -- how do you.
I think today more liberty I had all right and we have this issue about the contraceptive mandate.
And that is that liberals like yourself.
Support the idea absolutely you you wanna pay for women's birth control ideal and you think they wanna for do you think you ought to be able to compel people of conscience and -- religious base.
To pay for -- nobody is trying to do that part -- what actually yes they are -- -- contraceptive -- just how and why does Catholic Charities and capital now let me get -- but -- -- Employees a Catholic Charities employees a Catholic hospitals.
Where it is a direct.
It's in direct opposition of their conscience the teachings of their faith.
Are forced to do something that.
That they don't believe it.
And that goes against their freedom of religion just like to get 487.
Point four million dollars.
And government grants -- reimbursements to give and what about her first amendment's freedom from religion when people that -- for Catholic Charities they go to work for cafeteria and that is that process I can't be appropriate exercise thereof if no one to record the establishment -- -- out so we can't I have.
That they can get have a separate set aloft with the church and a separate set of laws for everybody else you -- -- the way at work all the liberal logic penny what he's got that little lock it down.
That's not the same thing goes like this yeah I believe this is a war against women you don't understand the ultimate violence against women is in right -- And if all you guys that voted in favor the -- against women that -- -- switch around and end our insane around Palin as long as it's in the what they haven't.
And one of the people who sponsor the bill that went down today.
Voted for Lilly Leadbetter or not what might not want to not a second you know you're showing anti choice I -- stop stop Scotland let me -- let's go to some of the arguments you remember where and when Robert Bork was up four.
For the Supreme Court nominated for the Supreme Court.
Remember it was Ted Kennedy that said there's going to be women back Alley abortions all that rhetoric.
All showed up again today here is congresswoman Sheila Jackson -- listen to this.
I think the next act we'll be dragging women out of patient rooms into the streets.
And screaming over there.
Bodies -- -- -- dragged out of getting access to women's health care that's but I feel like it's occurring today.
With the legislation that is on the floor.
-- this is the problem I know you Democrats are desperate you can't run on the president's record so the nobody's gonna be -- that anything all conservatives like myself small government conservatives are saying.
If you want birth control you pay for it.
If you want to make that choice you're pro choice which you choose that lifestyle whatever it is you pay for it I if you want to go to Planned Parenthood.
The government should not get 7487.
Million taxpayer dollars when we're going broke.
To pay for abortion abortion services or any of these things you explain to me.
How government of five trillion dollars in new Obama that should be paid for this you know 400 million dollar and a quarter -- 87 -- 187.
Million dollars for family planning so people do not have children that can't get out of reward.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Both an abortion and against.
How can -- might scare the -- we had every not -- fair tax paying their -- that.
-- any any woman wants birth control we discovered in this process in the controversial to send her flock.
You give birth control pills from nine dollars.
Economist and expensive I.
I actually looked into that does -- -- spend their titles again about that millions and millions of dollars a year in order to give free access to birth -- this is not about that as well that's bliss and today there's about -- -- government in a place where it does not belong and I think no woman wants to see that happening government.
I for the cellars where it doesn't belong by the way -- don't get a lot Republican -- small government elected deal with a woman and that's that's bad.
Yeah bad ahead here more I want my hand a lot of that stuff and coming up thank you both a.

amjad ali, If you are going to use GigE (TCP), I would recommend Scali MPI (www.scali.com). It's commercial, but it's the best MPI I've ever tested (the fastest). Plus it works with TCP, Myrinet, and IB without having to recompile. If you don't want to pay money for an MPI, then go with Open-MPI. It too can run on various networks without recompiling. Plus it's open-source. Both MPI's use processor affinity, so that will help improve performance. I think Scali MPI is better - it has great profiling tools, tuning capability, and it's really fast! But it don't want a commercial MPI, then go with Open-MPI. I know the head developer of Open-MPI and I know most of the Scali MPI team as well :) Jeff > Hello, > > Because today the clusters with multicore nodes are quite common and > the cores within a node share memory. > > Which Implementations of MPI (no matter commercial or free), make > automatic and efficient use of shared memory for message passing > within a node.

Chin up and keep plugging away. My life experience tells me if you keep doing the right thing, eventually it pays off in a big way. The hard times simply prepare you to appreciate your ultimate success.
Posted 10 February 2004 - 08:42 PM
Beth, I certainly feel your pain.I'm afraid I was the victim of BOTH Gladys the St. Bernard and Google the Search Engine.
I lost all the listings for dozens of clients and have been totally bewildered what to do. There is no figuring anything out as far as I can tell.
Of the pages / sites lost some where filled with keywords, others were totally imaged based and everything in between. Those at the top for "allinanchor" don't even make the top 200. Some are connected in a round about way from links, others share no linking correlation.
Go figure?
The thing that interested me the most about your situation is that you have a site that is no doubt in the search engine's best interest to rank high. The format is a text book example of being focused and rich with information. (It even looks like it might have been an example used in the Nitty Gritty?)
Beth, to me, rest assured it's them (G) not you.
My rankings have held strong on Inktomi and hopefully so have yours. That is at least comforting that something must be right.
The reality is the new search results on Google stink. I now find it inferior for any keyword search over Inktomi. G displays directory and high page rank sites that often are totally off based from the particular search.
Moreover, the burial of worthy pages means as a G user you can now longer trust a page doesn't exist when a keyword search is unsuccessful. In the past if something looked for wasn't it the top 100, then it didn't exist. At least, that's how I used to think. Now, i feel the need to try another engine to be sure. Well, naturally it only starts to makes sense to start at the other engine first. Other devoted Google users will follow suit sooner or later.
Competition in the search engine industry can not come soon enough.
Being dependent on whimsical gyrations of one juggernaut algorythm exposes the monopolistic powers garnered by G. Ghad help SEO specialists who are at the mercy of one all encompassing power they have no control over.
I think the most important thing we can do it spread the word on the poor quality of the new google. If they are going to screw it up, let the people know. Write articles, tell your clients and point out other search engines producing superior results to as many as possible. Spur on the competition (ohhh Ghad, I think this might be a veiled Microsoft promotion).
Focus the debate on quality, not that we lost our rankings. And remain confident it's them not you. At least as far as I can tell.
Good luck!

Beth have you looked at your stats lately to see if your visitors have dropped off substantially?
Posted 11 February 2004 - 01:15 PM
It's actually kind of interesting when I look at the Google results for my most important key word - exit interviews (singular and plural).
Previously we were always somewhere between 2 and 8 in rankings. A couple competitors were in there usually a couple spots below us or in the top 5-15. Now, any site which is product based is gone. Instead there are some cheesy articles about exit interviews - most of which are out of date or spread misinformation.
So what happens to the Human Resource Manager who is looking for exit interviews?
I think I'm going to have to start spreading the word among HR people to start using Teoma!
Jill, I was out of town so I'm not really sure about our stats yet. The best indicator is our requests for demos and it does look like those are way down.
Unfortunately we have always had more than enough business from Google so we have ignored your advice about not relying solely on Google.
I know people say it's not true but I can't help but wonder if it's push to increase Google ads before they go public. I mean really, if they are pulling out commerical sites in favor of information (even commercial sites with information) that leaves the commercial sites no other option but to buy ads.

As it turns out, they'd done a pretty good job. They're in the top ten on every search engine for their most important kw phrase -- every search engine except Google, that is. And the reason they wanted to hire me was to improve their ranking for that phrase on Google.
I wrote back to them that, while I saw plenty of room for improvement on the site, the problem with getting ranked on Google wasn't one I could fix, since it was pretty clear to me that they didn't rank well there because Google's messed up. I told them that if improving their visibility on Google was all they really needed, they should get an AdWords account.
Posted 11 February 2004 - 01:55 PM
So how many new Adwords accounts is Google going to get?I had a prospect contact me yesterday, and I asked them to give me a breakdown of their goals for their site and the work they'd done themselves in optimizing it so far.

Google's organic search results are a mess right now, and might be for some while to come. If a user also concludes that Google's results are no good, then they have two alternatives: Try another search engine, or click on the AdWords.
Hence, at least in theory, qualified AdWords traffic ought to be increasing all the time now, so you might make some good money if you give it a try.
Just my tuppence worth...

Google ate my high rankings that I have had consistently for the past couple of years and didn't even leave me 6 cents. In fact they didn't leave me anything at all.
I hear you. For very specific 3 and 4 keyword search phrases I've consistently ranked high. One 4 word search would bring ~250 visitors a day from Google. Now it is around a 100 if I'm lucky - but more often below it.
Above me for that specific search you can now find some major shareware portals and some online equivalents. Said differently: if you search for "free .... ..... download" Google currently thinks with 'free' you mean shareware ($$$) and with 'download' you mean 'use it online' .... None of the sites above me are optimized better than mine - the opposite seems true in some cases. They are however gigantic sites with litterally thousands of incoming links. Non-relevant links but that doesn't seem to matter, lol.
Posted 12 February 2004 - 02:44 PM
I do understand the not using it out of protest mentality (now who's immature! ) but just think, for your keyword phrases, you could have 5c bids, and maybe pay a few bucks a day. One client to you is going to pay for that hundreds of times over, no?
Posted 12 February 2004 - 05:57 PM
Don't ask me what that mean, because I don't know.
I already had the adwords for the single phrase on a single site that went AWOL from the Top 10 organic listings, and we're still selling as much or more on every site...
It's just simply that I haven't seen any increase at all in revenue from Adwords traffic. And the cost of doing business with Adwords has actually decreased. Of course I didn't change a thing. Didn't add to my Adwords account or detract from it.
I guess 2 + 2 does sometimes equal 5.

Aren't we still getting the entire ANThology album?
8/9/11 (Def Leppard) will be marked as the best day in RB history for me. HMX, major thanks for all this amazing DLC you put out!
I am wondering if i can get a refund on ms points because I bought the screwed up version of movies. I see it is gone of rbn and it lists the new version that i can buy. gamertag is blackops13 on xboxlive
i have the "messed up" version as well. not sure who checks this or what info you need so...
xbox gamertag is Raenius MWB
e mail is raenius at gmail dot com
i don't check this board much, so the above is the best way to contact me.
thank you.
I also bought the messed up version. My gamertag is revengefan.
I actually bought the messed up version, was wanting to get a refund after hearing about it (a little too late)...
But then I decided to re-buy the fixed version anyways, haha! I guess I'm one of those people (the kind that have two copies of every song that gets re-submitted, plus all the pre-RBN test songs that only have one note or are just "The Sterns - Supreme Girl" with various instruments missing).

Right now Congress is engaged in a serious debate on immigration reform. In the House of Representatives, we are taking a step-by-step approach to methodically review each component of immigration reform in detail. While the Senate has produced their own bill, I believe it is fundamentally flawed and unworkable because it repeats the mistakes of the past and does not guarantee the enforcement of our immigration laws.
By Congressman Robert Hurt
Since the start of the 113th Congress, we in the House of Representatives have remained committed to advancing pro-growth policies that will promote economic recovery, encourage job creation, and lower taxes. It is my responsibility as your representative in Washington to do everything I can to make it easier for our small businesses, farmers, and individuals and families to succeed.
Being charged with a crime is never a good thing, but it could be especially bad for a black man 100 years ago. The biggest problem wasn't that he could face racial bias from a jury when he had his day in court; it was possible that he wouldn't even live long enough to have his day in court. He could end up being lynched, even if the crime he was accused of would not carry the death penalty if he had been convicted.
I'm not about to get into a weeks-long back and forth about the Bible, Scripture, "fulfilling the law," and other such religious stuff. I write about politics and government. My own religious beliefs are my personal business and I don't see political activity as a religious crusade, as the "Christian conservatives" do.
Nothing is more important to America's future than ensuring a high-quality education for our nation's children.
By Congressman Rober Hurt
I've often wondered why Rick Howell occasionally devotes a Liberal Agenda column to trying to convince readers that homosexuality and abortion, the two top social issues for left-wingers, aren't incompatible with Christianity. Shortly after his most recent effort, I saw a column, entitled The Myth of Unreligious America, in the Wall Street Journal that may explain why.
One thing we can always rely on about Republicans is their unbridled devotion to capital and business...in other words, to money and power. Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell appears to have let his attachment to "mammon" (the Biblical term for money) get the better of him, or, perhaps better described, of him and his wife, Maureen.

2008 Honda Accord first look
During a time when many car manufacturers are scaling down to offer smaller cars with improved fuel economy, the new 2008 Honda Accord is hitting the market with a "bigger is better" philosophy.
Besides having an obviously new look, the new Accord is larger in all interior and exterior dimensions. It's longer, wider, and taller on the outside, and roomier on the inside. In fact, the 3.3 cubic feet of additional interior space was enough to bump it into the EPAs "large car" category, although Honda says the car will still compete in the … Read more

Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley hoped to enter a pre-trial diversion program for a charge of driving under the influence. Now Fairley and his attorneys reportedly will have to rethink their strategy. WPMI Local 15 News in Mobile, Ala., said Fairley was in court Thursday expecting to get a plea deal for his DUI arrest in May, when an Alabama State Trooper pulled him over for going about 100 mph. Mobile County Circuit Judge Sarah Stewart said there was no deal. Fairley's attorneys expected the charge to be dropped in exchange for Fairley entering the DUI diversion program. WPMI said Stewart determined that Fairley was not eligible for the program because in December, prosecutors in Mobile dropped a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge against the Lions star.
Judge won't permit plea deal for Lions' Nick Fairley

Practitioner's Corner—About Pets: Alternative Treatments
By Katherine A. Kahn, DVM
Q: How do I find a decent alternative practitioner for my pet?A: As you might expect, what you're looking for is a veterinarian with extensive training and experience in alternative medicine. But it's not always easy to find such a person.
Most state laws have little to say about who can practice alternative medicine on animals. Some veterinarians who claim certification in therapies like chiropractic and acupuncture have had only 120 to 180 hours' worth of training. And anyone can hang out a shingle and claim to be an expert in other therapies, such as Reiki and pet massage, which are completely un-regulated. So it's very much a buyer-beware situation.
If you aren't sure which alternative treatment would be best for your pet, pick up a copy of The Nature of Animal Healing by veterinarian Martin Goldstein, which covers the basics of alternatives for animals.
To find a reputable alternative vet who uses the therapy you're interested in, call the nearest accredited school that teaches it and ask whether any of the graduates are also vets. Or ask a local alternative practitioner if he or she knows of anyone who treats animals. When you take your pet for that first visit, ask how long the person has been practicing and what her experience is with the therapies you want.

Interesting paragraphs cited below:
Foreign buyers are contributing to the large number of absentee purchases in the current South Bay housing market. Absentee buyers, which can include investors who don't intend to live in the house, accounted for nearly 15 percent of all sales in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties in June, according to DataQuick, the real estate information service.
Michael Riese, a realtor with Alain Pinel in Los Gatos, described two types of foreign buyers in the valley these days: One has a purely business mentality, seeking a short- or long-term investment. Another is the newly hired tech executive, "coming from places with bigger problems than we have, seeing a home purchase in the U.S. as a solid investment, compared with what they may otherwise put their cash in back home."
Charmaine Wang, the first agent in Shanghai for the Bay Area's Intero Real Estate Services, estimates that "hundreds" of mainland Chinese bought property in Santa Clara County within the past year. They're buying "in all the high-end neighborhoods -- Palo Alto, Los Altos Hills, Atherton," she said.
The buyers are "very private people," she said. Property records won't reflect the offshore ownership, and they are unlikely to share their stories publicly.
Trulia, the online real estate information service, reports a big jump in searches for Silicon Valley real estate from other countries. Searches for property in Cupertino were up 90 percent in the first quarter of this year from a year earlier, Trulia reported. Palo Alto was up 121 percent; Los Altos Hills up 182 percent; Atherton up 68 percent and San Jose up 86 percent.
