Karim Kutty Multi Services has kept it ready to reach needy.
TIRUCHI: A boat stationed near the TVS Toll Gate Junction in the city has been attracting curious on-lookers all these days.
The question in their minds is obvious. What purpose does the boat serve there? Well. In answer lies an element of philanthropy. A private agency, Karim Kutty Multi Services, has kept the boat in a state of readiness for despatch in the event of submergence in low-lying localities. One could discount the possibility of heavy floods in the near future.
But then, when the city witnessed the fury of floods on a couple of occasions over the past few decades, the delay in undertaking relief operations due to absence of boats was conspicuously felt. There were several instances of residents remaining stranded in their homes for days together, especially in localities in and around Karumandapam and Vayalur Road. The agency is keen to avert such a situation in future.
With the Cauvery in full flow, the agency keeps receiving requests from certain quarters for letting the boat on hire for pleasure rides; but the proprietor Karim Kutty refuses them politely saying that the very purpose of acquiring the boat was for rendering free services at times of need.
Of late, the agency has been receiving such requests from the Indian Red Cross Society and NCC units attached to educational institutions for training purposes.

The California Court of Appeals held that to be considered defamatory, the speaker must have been acting with actual malice. Actual malice is present if the speaker knows the statement is false, or if he has serious subjective doubts about the truth of the statement. Clark published a book claiming to have identified the source and cure for all cancers. She claimed to have developed a devise that could detect benzene, a chemical that she claimed was a root cause of cancer, to levels previously unavailable. In her book, Clark claimed that her device detected benzene in Melaleuca's products. Melaleuca, after determining though conventional analysis that the product did not contain benzene, sued for defamation. The court held that because Clark's statements were directed at Melaleuca's products, not the company, and that she stressed that her techniques were new and unconventional, her statements must be held to the higher standard of actual malice. Because the jury was not instructed on the law of actual malice, the verdict for Melaleuca was overturned.

It is a great misfortune that once was seen as the cornerstone of a liberal education is now widely perceived as the writings of dead, white, European males. The purpose of reading authors from Homer to Heidegger was not to narrow one's perspective to that of an antiquarian patriarchy. Rather it was to enable the people of today to participate in the great 2,500-year conversation of the Western world's greatest minds over central questions such as the meaning of life, morality, God, science, society and many others.
All are welcome to participate in that conversation no matter their race, creed, country or gender. However, to walk in on a conversation that has been going on for centuries and to pretend that one can make an immediate, creative contribution is, at best, impertinent.

The feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, Feb. 11, was a special day for Blessed John Paul II. In 1992, he expanded the feast into the World Day of the Sick. Eight years earlier, however, he issued his apostolic letter Salvifici Doloris (On The Christian Meaning of Human Suffering) on the anniversary of the first appearance of Our Lady to St. Bernadette.
Blessed John Paul rode against the tide on many topics, but perhaps none more than that of human suffering. Ours is an age, especially in the West, that views comfort and pleasure as the greatest good and suffering as the worst evil. The rising call for assisted suicide is due in no small part to the prevailing sentiment that esteems a comfortable, content life as the greatest to which one can aspire.
On Feb. 18, Toronto Archbishop Thomas Collins will become the first former archbishop of Edmonton to be installed as a cardinal. Collins is no longer "our man," nor is he the "man" of the St. Paul Diocese where his episcopal career began. Nevertheless, we feel some stake in the man and are glad to experience a little of the reflected glory of his appointment.
A little known fact, however, is that Collins will not be the first priest from this archdiocese to wear the red hat. That honour belongs to Cardinal James Charles MacGuigan, archbishop of Toronto from 1934 to 1971, who in 1946 became the first-ever English-speaking Canadian cardinal.
One obligation Catholics have is to become catholic. The four marks of the true Church, as we learned in catechism class, are to be one, holy, catholic and apostolic. However, these are not badges to be worn with pride; they are obligations for living.
The Church is sometimes accused of being a relic of mediaeval times; in fact, it is a Church of all times. For G.K. Chesterton, the famous 20th century apologist and convert to the Catholic Church, Catholicism "is not an old religion; it is a religion that refuses to grow old." It is not old, but eternal.
Only 34 years ago the first "test tube baby" was born. Things have since come a long way. Scientists have developed preimplantation genetic diagnosis which, combined with the mapping of human genome, has set the stage for the possible creation of designer babies.
Those involved in the assisted reproduction industry say designing your own baby to be as smart as Aristotle and athletic enough to be a pro football quarterback is not technically possible. The vast majority also say they won't select embryos based on cosmetic traits, such as ensuring your baby is blond, blue-eyed and beautiful. What they want to do is to prevent diseases and health conditions that create suffering.
Basilian Father Jack Gallagher has written an important book that challenges both Church and society (Pages 10 and 11). The challenge to society is to overcome its individualistic approach to sexual morality that has separated procreation from marriage. The challenge to the Church is to be more forthright in presenting its teaching on sexuality and marriage that is the only real hope for society to avoid collapse and ruin.
Gallagher doesn't mince words in his book, Human Sexuality and Christian Marriage: An Ethical Study. Evidence abounds, he says, indicating that the direction in which society is moving regarding sex and marriage is disastrous for both individuals and society itself.
The star led the Magi on a journey. Wise as those men were, they knew not the road they were on. Informed by a star, they set out to find a new king and, most naturally, went to the capital of the nation to which the star led.
Nothing was to be found in that centre of power. Instead, the new king was discovered among people of no importance. No rulers, religious leaders or scholars were at Bethlehem – only Mary, Joseph, Jesus and others whose names have been lost in the mist of history.
It is curious that Bishop Murray Chatlain chose to devote so much of his catechesis at Nothing More Beautiful Dec. 9 to silence. After all, he was talking about Scripture, which is a veritable bounty of words. Despite that, for the bishop from the North, "In my experience, God is not chatty."
God may not be chatty, but Western society surely is. We assume that the more words we pile up, the more we contribute. The more we make our views known in conversation, the more others are convinced by our point of view. Our words increase our power the more we broadcast them. However, when there are too many words, we may not hear any of them.
It is a good thing we have Advent, that season of joyful expectation. Advent becomes more precious every year as the Western world increasingly uses December (and November) to denigrate the human person into a consumption machine whose main social purpose is to prop up a flagging economy.
In Advent, we celebrate anticipation, an anticipation that can never be sated by material possessions. It is only through the coming of God that men and women can be fulfilled. It is only through the divine life with which we are graced by participation in Word and sacrament that we gain a slight taste of the gift that transcends all consumption.
Since at least the Second World War, there has been a gradual flattening out of human experience in the Western world. Human communication is increasingly mediated by technology. Entertainment is now something we receive rather than something we create. The power of the neighbourhood has been eroded by urban planning, birth control, larger houses and the omnipresence of the automobile.
Even the colour of new homes has become a non-descript, homogenized diminishment of colour. Rural life is in decline because of mechanized agriculture and the lure of city life.

Aaron Weiss reached his arm into his backpack, which was laid atop a swath of Sharpie graffiti tattooed on our table.Ever since he walked on the stage earlier that night, I was imagining what was in that backpack, which bulged enough that the zipper didn't close all the way. The bar we were in was dark and loud. It was 1:00 am. Most of the folks who had come to see mewithoutYou had already left for the night "You'll get a kick out of this," he said.He pulled out a hymn book much wider than it was tall. "The Sacred Harp" was written across its brown cover in foil-stamped lettering. Weiss began to explain Sacred Harp singing to me, but he couldn't go into too much detail; it was getting late, and there were a group of men waiting to donate veggie oil to the band — they use it to fuel their tour bus.Sacred Harp music, I learned later, is sung a cappella with four sections — tenor, alto, treble and bass — forming the boarders of a square. But the singers don't face out to an audience; they are turned toward the center of the square. The very center, where only one person stands, is the focal point. As our conversation began to drift to the subjects of performance and fame, it seemed fitting for Weiss to be carrying this book.

[Editors' note: This post is part of a series over the last few weeks on youth homelessness. In the September/October issue of Sojourners magazine, the Ali Forney Center and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) ran an ad to raise awareness of the serious problem of LGBT youth homelessness.] Fact 1) About 40 percent of the homeless youth in the United States identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Fact 2) One in four teens rejected by their families becomes homeless. Fact 3) Parents who identify as strongly religious are three times more likely to reject their children. Yet for Carl Siciliano, founder and president of the Ali Forney Center, these aren't just facts -- they are his daily life.

Once he created Alter Ego and Ego he gave Alter Ego to the Collector to put in his museum.Alter Ego lived in his own private pocket universe alone, never knowing there was anything other then himself. Then one day Thor was thrown into Alter Ego's universe and Alter Ego discovered there were other beings. He escaped from the pocket universe and quickly learned there was another living planet, his twin brother Ego.The Stranger gave him power and sent him towards his brother knowing the two would destroy each other and hopefully Earth. On the way Alter Ego ate Thor and Zephyr, and gained some of Thor's power and knowledge.When the two planets found each other, they started fighting and Alter Ego bit his brother's eye out, but Ego used his power to destroy Alter Ego.Zephyr used her new powers to save Alter Ego and made it into a moon for Ego. The three then left the solar system in search of the living planets new destiny, as a new family.

The Greatest Gift Of All
Local columnist and college instructor Jimmy Reed brings readers a column written by members of his creative writing class: a story of a Christmas past that shows the love between a father and a son. (December 16, 2014, Page 4)
Christmas gifts a sign of future occupation?
Do kids who ask for doctor's and nurse's kits for Christmas go into medicine. Do those who ask for cars become race car drivers or mechanics. Do those who ask for cameras become photographers? Editor Don Whitten takes a look back at some of his favorite Christmas gifts and how little they had to do with journalism. (December 15, 2014, Page 4)
The Comforter
Local columnist Jimmy Reed relates his thoughts of a visit to the Dachau Concentration Camp and the recent discovery of a touching Christmas story relating to a husband and wife who lived in Austria at the time. (December 9, 2014, Page 4)
Hotwheels vs. iPads
New Oxford EAGLE Staff Writer Jerra Scott was a bit surprised at some of the goodies wrapped up for youngsters for Christmas this year, and wonders if we aren't taking some of the fun out of growing up for the little ones by giving them cellphones and iPads instead of Legos and Hotwheels.

Trail Conference volunteers maintain trails in this park.
|Park Description:
Located in Mahwah, the 1,300-acre Campgaw Mountain County Reservation draws by far the most visitors during downhill skiing season. It has a lift and snow-making equipment. The Reservation also offers hiking, horseback riding, picnicking, archery and camping (by permit only). It is one of only two parks in Northern New Jersey to offer DISC golf -- a very challenging course taking the player up and down the ski slope one or three times depending on the seasonal configuration.
|Trails Overview:
Campgaw offers a complex network of nine marked trails in a rather compact area; a trail map looks like a clinched fist with a thumb sticking out. The flat trails at the base of Campgaw Mountain are ideal for those looking for a short, easy hike, and they can be combined with those that lead to the viewpoint at the summit of the mountain for a longer, more challenging hike. Individual trails range from 0.3 to 3.0 miles; nearly all are under a mile.
Horses are not permitted on hiking trails, bicycles are also not permitted on any trails in the reservation. Not a very good place for cross-country skiing even though it is permitted.
Click for detailed descriptions of hikes in the park.
Directions: Ramapo Valley Road (US 202) to Darlington Avenue, proceed east on Darlington Avenue for 0.3 mile onto Campgaw Road and continue to the park entrance road which is on the right [200 Campgaw Road]. With multiple large parking areas, parking is never a problem.

- CMT's Craig Shelburne interviewed Jana Kramer. An excerpt: When I first met with [producer Scott Hendricks] and played him some of the things I was writing, he was like, "Wow, you're country! You're not poppy." There are some things that can lean more pop, but I love Deana Carter and even older than that, like Loretta Lynn. That's what I grew up on.
- The Alabama Shakes played Fallon the other night. Watch their performance.

I loved Corb Lund's new song. I'd never hear of him before, and now I went to youtube and listened to a bunch of his songs.
He has a video where he talks about the song, as part of his "What That Song Means Now" series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLOF5LOTv4c

New Square device replaces cash register
SAN FRANCISCO – First, it tackled the credit card transaction process. Now, Square wants to replace the antiquated cash register.
Today, the company co-founded by Twitter inventor Jack Dorsey unwrapped Square Register, a free Apple iPad app designed to modernize point-of-sale devices for small merchants.
"I truly believe POS, as you know it today, is dead," says Megan Quinn, director of products at Square. "This will bring Square to an entirely new, small-market audience (bricks-and-mortar stores)."
The new app extends Square far beyond just a payment-processing service. It replicates and, Square claims, enhances the features of a cash register for mom-and-pop storefronts. The app accepts cash and credit payments, lets merchants easily list menu items, and tracks the history of customers' purchases.
An analytics program, often used only by major retailers, lets small businesses slice and dice sales data so they can tailor store hours and work shifts accordingly.
Square is trying to corner the market on mom-and-pop shops, fertile ground for future mobile payments, based on several reports. "This would be ideal for food carts, small coffee shops or bike stores," says Trip Hosley, owner of Sauce Restaurant group in San Francisco and a national consultant.
About 75% of U.S. merchants intend to buy a tablet over the next year, according to market researcher NPD. What is more, half of retailers polled by the National Retail Federation said they will use a mobile POS device within a year to 18 months, compared with 6% now.
That includes merchants such as Devil's Teeth Baking here. It tested Register at Square's office, and plans to use the new app to list some 20 menu items. "It was super easy and fast," says Ruth Meza, manager of Devil's Teeth.
Square executives are framing the digital register as the next big building block in its inexorable quest to upend credit card and cash payments, as we know them.
Small merchants are often saddled with clunky POS systems that cost thousands of dollars a year to maintain, and take hours to install. However, they can download the Square Register app for free and install their inventory in less than an hour, Quinn says.
Square, which makes its money by collecting transaction fees, has helped merchants process sales for $4 billion worth of goods — double what it announced late last year. More than 1 million people are able to accept credit cards with Square. Their average purchase is $75.
The original Square card reader, a small white plastic device for accepting payments, has more than 1 million users nationwide and works on Apple and Android devices.
Square has no plans at this time to launch a version of Square Register for Android tablets.

E-cigarettes are popular, but health effects are questionable
Our featured stories this month tackle 2 controversial topics. In our first story, Paula S. Katz looks at e-cigarettes, a relatively new player on the smoking scene. The devices are growing in popularity, but there are serious unanswered questions about their potential health effects, with some thinking they may help pave the way to smoking cessation and others believing they may serve as a "gateway" to traditional smoking, especially in younger users.
With limited data available and the FDA yet to weigh in, clinicians may be uncertain about what to tell their patients. Read our story to learn more about what "vaping" is, what data on its safety are available and how physicians can address e-cigarettes in their practices.
Our second story updates readers on the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's latest recommendations on lung cancer screening. In 2004, the Task Force found insufficient evidence to recommend for or against the practice. In December 2013, however, due largely to the results of the National Lung Screening Trial, the Task Force recommended annual CT screening in adults between the ages of 55 and 80 who have a 30 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit smoking within the past 15 years.
But not everyone agrees. Some experts would like to see screening extended to an even larger population, while others believe more emphasis on individualized risks and benefits is necessary. Stacey Butterfield's story provides a broader perspective on the controversy and helps clarify how physicians may want to begin discussing it with their patients.
To continue our pulmonary theme, one of our inside features examines the potential link between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and lung disease. Although the presence of both conditions often presents a kind of "chicken and egg" scenario, with no causal relationship yet proven, experts recommend that internists keep an eye out for symptoms of respiratory disorders and "red-flag" problems, such as dysphagia and weight loss, in patients with GERD.
Finally, Internal Medicine 2014 will take place in Orlando, Fla., this April. Our preview article fills you in on what to look for at ACP's premier scientific meeting, including new pre-courses, CME opportunities and the 20th anniversary of the famous Doctor's Dilemma® competition.
What do you think about e-cigarettes? How have you addressed the new guidance on lung cancer screening? Let us know.

Need Help G4 iBook won't boot off CD
This is the first time I've had to post in a forum in a LONG time, so forgive me for any mistakes I make.
I have a iBook G4 1.2 running 10.4.9. About a month ago my computer crashed and I had to hard reboot it. After that my hard drive would not appear on the desktop or in the finder window. Everything works fine but any access to the drive via it's actual icon in the finder is grayed out or non-existent. I had this happen before a month earlier and decided I'd back it up and reformat and reinstall osx. When I tried to reboot from a CD it will spin up but then go to the HD. If I choose it in the startup disk cp it will confirm that I have to restart and then beep and nothing will happen. If i leave it selected and manually reboot it still won't work.
I have ran Disk utilities both manually and in target disk mode from another computer and it says everything is fine. I went out and got a copy of disk warrior but since I can't boot off a CD it can't do much for me.
I've cleared the PRAM several time, cleared the NVRAM, openfirmware, and the CUDA. Noting makes a difference; the drive will not show up on the desktop and it won't boot off of any CD. I am out of ideas and can't find anyone else with this sort of problem. Like I said this happened before with the HD not mounting on the desktop but I was able to reinstall that time.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Did you have any luck with this?
I have similar problem, I installed a new 120gb hard drive and tried booting up using the 'c' button but it just displays the happy face and question mark, also tried booting up with the 'option' button but this doesn't even show an OS which I'm quite sure is because nothing is installed yet. So looks like the only option I have as far as I know is to boot from the 'Mac Install Disk'.
|Jul 16, 2007, 12:32 PM
I can't reinstall OS either...
I have just bought a 'used' iBook G4 which was said to have had a faulty HDD. I took-out the old 40GB, replaced it with an 80GB and tried to re-install the OS from the original installation discs by holding down c when starting-up. I have tried dozens of times and it usually give me the Apple screen, makes a lot of whirring noises then gives me a dead blue screen (crash?). Occasionally, however, it has let me start the installation but, each time, it just gets as far as the destination disk screen only to show me a red exclamation sign over the disk icon with a notice saying that the OS cannot be installed onto this disk (no explanation why!). I have tried erasing and repairing the new disc, but it makes no difference.
I've lost hours on this (the new disk took forever to install!) and I am losing the patience to face disassembling the whole machine again...
I need help please!!! (otherwise the iBook goes through the window and I buy an IBM PC! (yes, it really is that frustrating!)

72 Cebu hotel staff flown to Vladivostok to serve Apec leaders
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
He may not be part of the crew who will serve some of the world's most powerful men and women attending a summit in a former Russian military fortress, but 25-year-old Filipino waiter Joey Echavez is visibly thrilled about being part of this annual meeting of leaders of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) forum.
"It's my first time out of the country and I'm really excited about having a role in this important event," Echavez said. "This is a once in a lifetime experience for me."
Echavez is among 72 staff members of the Cebu-based Mövenpick Resort and Spa, which has been tapped to provide a substantial part of the workforce in the 24th Apec Economic Leaders Conference on Russky Island off the port city of Vladivostok in Russia.
Echavez said his fellow service crew from Mövenpick were chosen in June to go to Russia after the official tasked to oversee this year's Apec summit paid a visit to the Mactan Island resort earlier this year and was impressed by the hotel's efficient, courteous and English-speaking staff.
Sister city
Vladivostok is a sister city of Cebu and the Russians are the fastest growing group of tourists going to Cebu.
The Mövenpick crew will man three dormitory buildings that were converted into hotel rooms as waiters, housekeeping, front desk assistants and bellhops.
Echavez said that aside from Filipinos, there were Korean service staff hired to complement the Russian workforce for the event.
Each Filipino crew member expects to bring home at least P50,000 net of food and lodging, "which is not bad for a one-month contract," Echavez said.
Apec in PH
He said the foreign assignment was timely considering that the Mövenpick resort, owned by Manuel Osmeña, who also runs Sky Logistics and Sky Kitchen, which provides in-flight food service for Philippine Airlines, was closed in June for renovation that would cost P200 million and be completed in five months.
Meanwhile, Philippine Ambassador to Russia Alejandro B. Mosquera said the Philippine delegation would do well to use its experience in the Vladivostok summit for the country's preparations for hosting the Apec meeting in 2015.
Being considered in the search for a venue for the meeting are Clark, Subic, Amanpulo resort in Palawan and Boracay Island.
The Philippines hosted the Apec summit in 1996, building villas in Subic where world leaders were billeted.
"Our experience here, of course, will give us an idea on how we are going to prepare the infrastructure, the human resource that is needed, the needs of the delegates, other areas like facilities: Hotels, services, restaurants," Mosquera said.
"I think our people working for this Apec conference have a good grasp, good idea of how the preparations were made," he said. "And, of course, the expenses they have made for building the infrastructure and early preparations would be to our advantage."

New Study Shows Best Ways To Help Mental Health
A new series on the best ways to help people with mental health problems around the world is launched in this week's PLoS Medicine.
Writing in an editorial, the editors of PLoS Medicine together with key international mental health experts say: "Today we are delighted to announce the launch of the PLoS Medicine series on Global Mental Health Practice, and to issue a call for case studies that can help broaden our understanding of global mental health in "real-life" contexts."
The series aims to address the gap between public health approaches to mental health, and clinical approaches to addressing mental disorders. The authors explain: "Lying between these two realms is a niche for demonstrating how the principles of global mental health are put into practice in real-world contexts."
A key motivation for this series is to emphasize the importance of practice-based evidence by placing value on the experiences of interventions in real-world settings.
The authors explain: "This area is especially rich for global mental health interventions that occur in low- and middle- income countries, which may be difficult to subject to a definitive evaluation of effectiveness, such as a controlled trial. Nonetheless, we believe that such case studies provide useful evidence that should be disseminated widely so they can influence practice development. In particular we are interested in interventions that are innovative and delivered in low resource settings where the treatment gap is often largest."
The authors call for further contributions: "We welcome contributions from a wide variety of authors and institutions, including health activists, people affected by mental disorders, non-governmental organizations, and researchers. We are particularly interested in featuring case studies by groups or individuals who rarely have a voice in medical journals."

Hot answers tagged breadcrumbs

 is where you put the page title (this is in addition to the <title> tag as they serve two similar but different purposes). If your goal is to improve your SEO through breadcrumbs then you will want to use the breadcrumbs microformat. This specifically tells Google, and Bing, that these are breadcrumbs. They will then use that to determine a ...
There is no definitive timeframe. In fact, there's no guarantee Google will use breadcrumbs in their search results for your pages. As with anything related to Google displaying search results, you can give them clues and express your wishes as for what to display in the search results but ultimately Google will decide if and when it will happen. All you can ...
This is a problem because it potentially will cause duplicate content issues with Google. But you can just use canonical URLs to indicate the one URL you want to represent that page. That easily solves the problem.
The position of the H1 tag has basically no relevance compared to the content inside of the tag! A great descriptive text that reflects the contents of the page, is where the time should be spent. Another far more important thing to keep in mind is, how do users react to the placement of the H1 tag. Is it more intuitive for them to have breadcrumbs above or ...
If you want to optimize your breadcrumbs for SEO use semantic markup or microformats
Yes, markup can be spread all over the page. In fact, you can try it out with Google's own Structured Data Markup Helper, which will allow you to highlight items on a page and see suggested marked-up HTML.
Including the current page in the breadcrumbs is not required by Google: Each breadcrumb item should appear in order, with the first item representing the top-level page, and the final item representing the parent of the current page. Therefore, it should not matter if it is marked up at all. However, the effects of marking it up with everything ...
If the code is validated, no. The following is:
  Dresses
 Gets validated with any of those tags (,
,
) and many ...
The answer to this is a No for SEO reasons - I don't know why you would want to wrap your breadcrumbs in a H1. If your concerned of your page not having a page title simply add this after your declare your doctype, within your  tag - <title>Page Title Goes Here</title>
In the eyes of Google the
 is one of the most important descriptors of your page's content. Unless your page contains a homepage, list of services, toilet cleaning overview and showcase (which it doesn't) then no don't do it! If you were to keyword stuff the
 and <title> for good rankings (which I don't recommend you do) - even ...
I would do something similar (breadcrumbs are really only for the user, not for search.) I would store it in a session variable instead of in the URL. I don't know what language you are using, but i use VB.NET so it's simply: session("category") = 6 Then read it back in when loading the product page.
How should I handle two different routes to the same place in a website hierarchy? How will this affect SEO?
You will want to use rel="canonical" if the URL is different but the content is the same. At the very least rel="canonical" will not hurt your SEO value with Google. The only choice will then be which URL is the canonical one.
This isn't a problem SEO wise and is encouraged by Google as it aids the user experience. A breadcrumb trail is a set of links (breadcrumbs) that can help a user understand and navigate your site's hierarchy Perhaps you are getting a bit too strung up on thinking about duplicating content. When talking about duplicate content in most cases its ...
It sounds like you're thinking about this all wrong... Firstly, forget SEO, think UX. Both breadcrumbs and tags (and any other additional navigable functionality) should be for the benefit of the website visitor, there is minimal SEO benefit in this sense because what you'll end up with is countless pages on your site competing for similar/the same terms ...
Here is a very relevant thread from WebmasterWorld. Many webmasters will do this by placing the same term in the page title, URLs, meta tags, body text, anchor text, header tags etc etc. It is important NOT to do this. Google will know what the subject of your site is without having to repeat the same phrase over and over. That just gives a poor user ...
Perhaps the term you're looking for is a Wizard? 'Pagination' usually refers to a set of results that are too numerous to display at once (e.g. a search result) 'Breadcrumbs' are specifically navigation links that lead you 'back up the path' (as in Hansel and Gretel) to provide navigational context for each page. I have not heard of a 'wayfinder'.
Do breadcrumbs need to be inside the "main" content div and take part of the article's structured data?
It won't hurt your SEO because Google establishes what is what on page regardless, things like breadcrumbs get detected by Google regardless of the positioning and markup used in the source code. However, if you want a semantic website then you should resolve this, a simple fix would be to edit your 'loop' in your WordPress, and if I'm not mistaken your ...
I have seen no evidence that matching URL and breadcrumb help SEO. If anything, I would say that shorter URLs are better for SEO. URLs are much clearer and users actually have a chance of remembering or typing them when they are short. example.com/blue-widgets vs example.com/shopping/kitchen/cookware/blue-widgets As a user, I'd rather use the ...
Current breadcrumbs markup in schema.org is a crap. A lot of discussions, but current issues are still not solved. Check out the latest thread about it at public-vocabs. The best attempt for now to solve it is here (not accepted). I advise you to use Google's markup since you're mostly interested in this SE.
Okay. Danny, I did not mean to leave you hanging. I tested the following and it worked but with the error, Error: Incomplete microdata with schema.org. in http://schema.org/review. I assume that the review is missing a required element and i do not know what it is. You can poke around to see if you can figure out what is missing. I am sure it is something ...
The thing to ask yourself when structuring a website is: How can my users find what they're looking for as quickly as possible? The question for breadcumbs is: How can I accomplish the above so users also know exactly where they are in my site, and how to find other relevant information in as few clicks as possible. With that in mind, something like this ...
Those are "breadcrumbs" that Google takes off the text of the page. To get them into the SERPs you need to have links on your page that are separated by > or use the breadcrumb rich snippet markup: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/185417?hl=en
This is correct as breadcrumbs are no started showing in Google Search results For anyone using this - may ignore  and use his styling class and rest may only change the domain URL and breadcrumb title.
The important thing, I think, is that you have an obvious link to the homepage SOMEWHERE in the page header. So, if the logo is already linked to the homepage, you don't need a second link in the breadcrumbs, and you're better of saving the space for other crumbs. Since you said you're more concerned about SEO, it only matters if the homepage is linked at ...
You should use only one breadcrumb and for SEO make sure it uses rich snippets http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=185417 For all other categories which the listing fall into display them elsewhere on the page
The most important thing is that a search engine knows what the canonical, the original and unique version of "Service A" is. If "Service A" can be reached via different contexts, locations, click paths, it's better to actively tell the search engine of the canonical version than creating a duplicate content problem and waiting for unwanted search engine ...
As for the version you are using it is the Intended to work that way. I suppose you could switch to Joomla 1.5 there is no breaking changes between the two versions, you can have a look here http://deeptechtons.com/ on the front page click the results the breadcrumb will display the title of the Poll itself which is neat.
It's only a duplicate content penalty if two URLs pull up the same content or very similar content (e.g. the same content but the content is slightly rearranged/sorted differently). Your example doesn't meet this criteria so it shouldn't be an issue.
If you don't have pages for Category A and subcategory, why are you making breadcrumb links for it? Breadcrumbs are supposed to make it easier for users to navigate your website. Linking to pages that don't exist achieves the exact opposite of that. You should remove the unnecessary breadcrumbs, and if you want to show that this product belongs to a ...

"Was so happy with these post card save the dates! the material was actual post card material and looked spectacular! They were just so cute and I was so excited to send them out! They processed and shipped them to us so quick too! Would def. reccomend every time!!"
"My save-the-dates come out beautifully. I really fell in love with the design since it went perfectly with the fact I'm getting married in a park. The colors are so rich. The fact that it came in a postcard option was great (less money and less paper waste), as was being able to but so many photos on it. The customer service representative was very nice when they contacted me that one of the photos might not be satisfactory since it was a bit blurry. I ended up using it anyway, not realizing they would be further edited by Wedding Paper Divas so when I opened the box I really was amazed with how well they looked."
"Absolutely love this Save the Date! We were able to adjust the colors within the flowers to match the wedding colors. The Artists are so easy to work with! We are tickled and so excited to hear comments from invitees! Can't wait for my Daughter's wedding!"
"We loved this save the date! Used a custom color which matched our pictures beautifully! Excellent customer service and quick shipping. thank you for a beautiful, perfect save the date! We love them and our guests loved them, too!"
"I saw this calendar Save the Date awhile back and was so excited to use it when I got engaged and I couldn't be happier with it. We ordered the postcard and the quality is great and so excited to send them to our family and friends. Sooo cute for the bride-to-be that wants something a little different. One tiny thing would be that the back lettering "wording" looks a lot bigger in the proof than in person. It seemed like it could be a few sizes up, but its nothing major. Also, totally unrelated, but would have loved if we could have had WPD mail the cards directly to our guests. I know another site does that and I would have totally taken advantage of that if it was an option."

I've been making this for quite awhile and it always turns out great. A good compliment to seared ahi.
I don't know what happened because it seems like most everyone really liked this but I took one bite and wished I wouldn't have wasted the asparagus. Fixed it according to recipe but still didn't like and I like asparagus. Maybe it will be better tomorrow, I don't know, but I know that I won't be making it again.
Simple and very tasty. It was an excellent side dish and a new way(for me, at least) to cook aspargus. We look forward to eating this again.
I've made this dish several times, both with asparagus or with beans (our favorite). Even our 6 year old loves this preparation. I do double/triple up on the garlic and add a dash of Hoisin sauce at the end. It sweetens it up a bit. LOVE IT!
We've made it twice, both times with SEA SCALLOPS WITH CILANTRO GREMOLATA AND GINGER LIME BEURRE BLANC. A great pairing with our favorite Argentinian Chardonnay.
Very good and easy!
Very good -- tasty!
This is a fabulous side dish and So easy!
I added minced fresh ginger and shitake mushrooms (at same time as asparagus) and served with brown rice and tofu. Very versatile and delicious recipe.
Very, very tasty. Make just as stated, or add small diced red bell pepper when you add the asparagus to the pan. Beautiful presentation!

Re: Realistic time frame for Fermi (not happy with 5870)
an nvidia fan forum, full of ati fans... wow all of a sudden I don't feel like I can come here and read post without seeing an damn ati war from the little fan boys. Yes I am a fan of nvidia, but I am on what is suppose to be an nvidia site, not a graphics war. No matter who wants to argue this, nvidia is on top, its not just on top in graphics. Its looking ahead at things outside of gaming. ATI is simply behind, and it will not catch up with people who have bought one and come here to post their awful experience. If this was some long time forum member I could see, but this guy is someone who asked a simple question because clearly he didn't want to tread through hours of "Hey ATI is better" threads to find the answer, which is exactly all these threads in the GF100 Thread is.
The guy answered a question and automatically 10 ****ing ati fan boys come here telling him hes wrong, just because hes unhappy. I mean come on if I go out here and buy a damn lawn mower for instances, and it doesn't work to my satisfaction, and I take it back, is the store clerk suppose to sit there and tell me how he has one, and its perfect, and how I am wrong. NOPE I'd throw the keys in his face, and request my ****ing money back. In this case its just a bunch of people who need to grow up and except the fact that not to many have had good experiences with these ****ty ATI card's. Most I find it rather funny that some are willing to down grade to a "lower" nvidia card just to avoid having to use the crappy ATI card. Everyone keeps coming here saying "The 5870 is so much faster then the 260" well good for it, but there isn't one game out there not even ****ty Crysis, that I can't play on mine, and enjoy, because 30-40 FPS is perfectly playable for me, and the 260 does a great job at handling that FPS without dipping to low.
I've been playing Bad Company 2, maxed out at 1600 by 1050 since its released, got 8XAA and I average around 35 to 45 FPS, sometimes into the upper 50's. Even in a intense sitation, fraps never reported my game dropping below 30 FPS.
So you guys have fun sitting here being little kiddies, but just be warned, this is an nvidia fan site, and I registered here because I like nvidia, and still do. I won't be buying no ****ty ATI CARD, and yes they are ****ty in MY opinion, which is the keyword there. If you wanna open your mouth with one, then be pre-warned ima spout right back, not one thing you can say here to offend me, or even counter anything I've said. I don't care how much higher the ATI card does in games, and I damn sure could careless about DX11 till more "DX11 games" are released. ATI has ****ty drivers, and from just reading the first page of this thread, "You gotta do this, and that to get this to work", **** that, if I bought an ATI card I'd be sending that hunk of **** back, if I couldn't even play without issue.
How many of you are in a gaming clan? Probably very few that are. I have CLAN MATES, that have those ****ty cards. They are always crashing, or having some complaint about their card. One guy had was playing took a screen shot and his **** had little tears all in it, I pointed out his card was articfacting it went out a week later. I am not talking about a small clan, I am talking about a pretty good sized clan here.
Bottom line is, theres more then a few people who disagree. So fan boys go away, go on over to that Rage3d site, and RAGE about your awesome cards there.

Oreoscape Keeps Expanding: Lemon Oreos Hit Shelves
If you've visited the cookie aisle recently, you might have noticed the proliferation of both year-round and seasonal Oreo flavors.
