Reference on video marketing system:
"This is the first project I completed with Methusala. It was a difficult
project and he performed outstandingly. I was not even sure if what I
wanted was possible, but I found him and asked if he would bid and sure
enough, now I have a working projuct that is very versatile, configurable,
and produces ongoing video content automatically. He knows newLISP very
well and I will certainly be back with more projects of that nature. Thanks
for the best find yet on Elance, Methusala! :0)"

Reference on R project:
I highly recommend Mr. Joe O'Donnell as an R programming consultant. He
recently helped me complete my doctoral dissertation in clinical psychology
by providing R programming, data handling, and plot creation. His service
also included translating multiple linear mixed effects models into R
code.
Mr. O'Donnell was knowledgeable, personable, and professional in his work.
He met deadlines well and responded promptly to email messages and phone
calls. He often went "above and beyond" by researching topics related to R
that he thought would be useful for me. He was very helpful, and I greatly
appreciated his kind attitude and expertise. Katy Jordan, phd.
