I Spy Seashells And Beach BlingPosted by: | Comments
Looking at this top picture you will see most of the shells I found last evening at Fort Myers' Bunche Beach. Can you identify most of them? While you try to figure out each of the shells… Wanna go on a little CYBER SHELLING hunt for shells with me? All righty then let's play a little "I Spy"! Don't mind the "dirty" bling (a mix of peat and other good stuff that gives food to so many living organisms)… just look for some of those sweet little minis that we all love by clicking on the next image to enlarge…
This will give you an idea of how "big" those little gems are by looking at my handful of sweet somethings…
As much fun as it was collecting minis, I was tickled pink when Clark showed me his fave find… A ROSEATE SPOONBILL FEATHER.
We didn't see any ROSEATE SPOONBILL birds but we did see immature WHITE IBIS birds. Ibis juveniles are mostly brown but these guys have started molting out of their plumage becoming adults.
Here are four immature WHITE IBISES hanging out with a SNOWY EGRET and a BLUE HERON.
It was a bird lovers paradise last night. I even saw the dance of the REDDISH EGRET…
Before it got dark, we stopped at Sanibel Lighthouse Beach just in time to catch a beautiful RAINBOW…
Samuel, Sheila, Gene, Freida (Cape Coral, FL) and their family in the photo above must have hit the pot of gold under the rainbow. They found all of these in the water…
I found another pot of gold under the rainbow when I met Bill, Jody, Brooke, Brandon, Laura Beth and Gramma Kaye. A golden family of shellers from Alabama.
Okay, did y'all identify most of the shells in the top picture? Errrr….I have to confess, once I got going on my own I.D.s (and put my reader glasses on), I realized that some of these shells weren't as obvious as I thought. There were a few that I had to look up… like the PAPER BUBBLE and TURRET. I failed my own test! hahaha I hope you do better than I did! I know the photo doesn't show both sides of the shell, but if you know what #8 is by looking at this photo or you have a better idea if I misidentified anything, please let me know. Whoops! How embarrassing! LOL (blush, blush)
Do you love shelling? Would you like to meet other shellers who love the beach and its treasures just as much as you do? Do you want to learn more about shelling in Sanibel and the out island islands? Join us for Shellabaloo 3!
No Regrets Watching The Reddish EgretPosted by: | Comments
You want another reason why i Love Shelling? Seeing a site like this! This Reddish Egret was wading in a tidal pool at Sanibel Lighthouse Beach pacing back and forth stalking his prey. I could have stood there for an hour watching this entertaining canopy dance. Errrr….. wait, I DID stand there for an hour fascinated by his show of chasing minnows.
Even though it distracted me from finding more shells, I didn't regret one minute of it. To me, that's what shelling is about…. finding treasures AND drinking in nature and the view along the way. Even the man made views. How cute!
And yes, there were even shells and SAND DOLLARS too!
I found more of those cute little juvie SAND DOLLAR "sand dimes"! I found live ones down on the surf line which I left alone but I also found them high in the high tide wrack line to bring home. Way in the background you can see the Lighthouse so you can see how far I was from the point. It was a hike but worth it.
I found all sort of BEACH BLING semi hidden in the seaweed. I placed the LEOPARD CRAB SHELL on the purple SEA WHIP but I saw the SAND DOLLAR laying exactly like this…
I zig zagged the beach to look on the edge of the tidal pools to find a clump of BUBBLE SHELLS…
When I see lots of BUBBLES hanging out like that, I immediately start looking for WENTLETRAPS!
This is what I found…. Are you ready CYBER SHELLERS? Now after you take a little CYBER SHELLING stoop by clicking on the next photo to enlarge, make sure you scroll down even more on this post because I have another somethin to show you… a video too. Shell on!
Did you find anything? Okay, before we get to the movie, I want to tell you that I've gotten quite a few requests to sell my Seashell Identification Cards online. I want to thank everybody for buying them in the local retail stores that are carrying them and would love for you to continue to support them. But for those of you who can't be here, I've added a BUY NOW button so I can send them directly to you. Check it out by CLICKING HERE…
Okay, back to the movie! Now you will be able to see the low tide tidal pools I was walking through and around to see so many amazing sites during the Easter Holiday weekend. There were so many live STARFISH! They are amazing to watch so enjoy the show!
Beautiful Buried TreasuresPosted by: | Comments
Gabriel found this live STARFISH (BROWN SPINY SEA STAR) on a PEN SHELL at low tide late this morning at the Sanibel Lighthouse beach. His whole family came over to look at it and to ohhh and ahhh so I had to find out what the fuss was about. It's just beautiful, isn't it? Yes, I mean the STARFISH is beautiful but also to hear the excitement and amazement of finding life and treasures that come from the sea. That's beautiful too.
It was such a pleasure to meet this family! They were trying to learn the names of all the shells they were finding so I was thrilled to help them. This was our best find…. an ALPHABET CONE that was semi buried in the sand.
I don't have photos of all the shells we were finding but here are some of the shell they found that I help identify…
Oh how I've missed my walks at the lighthouse beach on Sanibel. Ever since the day light savings time change, I've been discombobulated. I like my walks with Clark in the evening but now it gets dark too early for me to wait until he gets home from his office. But now after meeting such an amazing family on the beach today, it got me right in my beach combing time zone again. Here are a couple of my finds….
Most of my finds today were half buried in the sand like this half buried perfect ANGEL WING.
This LIGHTNING WHELK was perfectly empty too but I almost missed it since only this much of it was showing. More buried treasure.
This morning started off my weekend with a smile so I hope I can pass it along to you too. Have a great weekend!

The holiday season has always been about the joy of giving and receiving.
But as more and more mobile devices are given as presents every year, yuletide festivities are also the time when you are most likely to be careless and lose your phone while on the move or joining in the Christmas festivities.
AVG's recent Lost in Transit survey, conducted by Research Now and polled 5,620 users around the world, found that smartphone users were the most likely to have lost their device over the past year.
Its go-with-you-everywhere nature and small and portable size make smartphones more vulnerable to loss and 41 percent of owners have them left them behind on a plane, taxi, car or train.
We all form a bond with our mobiles because they bring us closer to the things we love most in life.
In a way, they allow us to bring our lives with us no matter where we go—our loved ones, our music, our work and our passions. I guess it's not surprising that we're filled with a sense of loss, as well as facing a large degree of hassle, when our portable companions are suddenly gone.
And so it's puzzling how careless people are with their devices: our survey also discovered that most smartphone and laptop owners don't insure their devices or protect them with passwords.
And with roughly half of owners admitting their devices contain sensitive data (42% of smartphone users and 53% of laptop owners), losing a mobile device can mean more than simply losing a prized possession.
It also means surrendering information that can compromise one's financial and even personal security.
See what everyday mobile users (and losers) have to say about their misfortunes when I ask them on the streets of San Francisco and London:
And please, tell me how much you love your device, and what you do to keep it safe.
Weigh in below or join me on Twitter and Facebook to discuss.
Some easy tips to keeping your phone safe
- Password protect it.
- Ensure it has security software, preferably with a lock, locate and wipe feature – find out more at www.avgmobilation.com.
- Store your phone in the same safe place. Always use that place, so you know where to check for it easily.
- Check the cab before you leave it after your Christmas party.
This survey was conducted for AVG by Research Now and questioned 5,620 adults in 11 countries across the globe. These were USA, UK, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Canada, Czech Republic, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

Painting Torpedoes (Part 1: Dallas, Texas)
September 12, 2009
In their original service lives, from 1948 to around 1980, Muni's biggest PCC streetcars were called "torpedoes," because of their shape. Now, restoration is about to begin on four more of these double-end cars, which will retain their original Muni numbers of 1006, 1008, 1009, and 1011. Three other cars of this class, Nos. 1007, 1010, and 1015, are already in service on the F-line.
Muni Car No. 1006 in 1951 at Chestnut and Fillmore, in its original green and cream "Wings" livery, during a fantrip on the old F-Stockton line. Fred Mathews Photo.
As a celebration of this most successful streetcar type in American history, Muni has painted its PCCs in the paint schemes, or "liveries," of cities that once ran PCCs. But double-end PCCs were rare. The only systems that ran them were Muni, Philadelphia's Red Arrow Line, Illinois Terminal Railroad serving suburban St. Louis, Southern California's Pacific Electric (which ran double-end cars with front and center doors, much different looking than Muni's), Dallas, and Boston (which bought Dallas' cars second-hand).
Muni has already honored its first group of double-end modern streetcars, acquired in 1939, with the blue and gold livery on No. 1010. (One of those 1939-vintage streetcars, with different controls than PCCs, survives at the Western Railway Museum in Solano County.)
Muni has already decided that the first double-end true PCC delivered to it in 1948, No. 1006, will be restored to its original green and cream "Wings" paint scheme (shown above). That leaves three "torpedoes" for which liveries have not yet been finalized. We want to emphasize that the final decision on these belongs to Muni, which of course owns the streetcars, and could decide to paint all four torpedoes in its "Wings" scheme or in some other Muni livery.
But Muni has stuck to the multi-livery approach so far, and has asked Market Street Railway as its non-profit preservation partner for our thoughts on liveries for the torpedoes. We, in turn, want to open it up to get our blog readers' feedback as well.
We want to do this in a series of posts, taking one livery possibility at a time, starting with Dallas.
The Texas town ran PCCs from 1945 to 1956. Dallas Railway & Terminal Company's 25 double-enders were built by Pullman-Standard and had narrower rear doors and a narrower body than Muni's torpedoes, built by St. Louis Car Company. Of historical interest, when Dallas retired its PCCs, they tried to sell them to other streetcar operators, with New Orleans Public Service apparently giving them serious consideration for its Canal and St. Charles lines, but ultimately rejecting them because the narrow rear doors would be a hindrance for passengers, who then boarded at the rear in New Orleans.
Original 1945 Dallas Railway & Terminal Company livery, predominantly red.
Dallas' PCCs arrived from the factory in a predominantly red livery with cream and silver trim. As that city's first (and last) modern streetcars, they were dubbed "gliding beauties." According to the book PCC Coast to Coast, Dallas Railway & Terminal picked the colors but didn't tell the builder how to apply them, so Pullman-Standar used the diagrams for its earlier Pacific Electric PCCs as a guide.
Second Dallas livery, predominantly cream.
So the question in this post: should one of the restored torpedoes be repainted in a Dallas livery, and if so, which do you prefer - red or cream - and why?
You can leave your comment below, or if you prefer to comment privately, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Part 1: Dallas, Texas
Part 2: Boston, Massachusetts
Part 3: Pacific Electric
Part 4: San Francisco
Part 5: Something Completely Different

Narberth Borough Council voted Monday night to make borough resident Kelly Lynn the sixth officer on the police force.
This brings the department up to six officers for the first time in almost a year. Officer James Conway in September, and Lt. Art Pavoni soon afterward. Officer Sean McCabe has since the force.
Lynn is set to join the force after giving notice and serving out her job with Montgomery County, then going through a borough training program, Borough Manager Bill Martin said. Lynn, who could not be reached for comment Tuesday, graduated last summer from the Montgomery County police academy.
Sgt. Robert Yantorno, the department's senior man in uniform, told Patch he was pleased to have a vacancy filled.
However, Gavin Goschinski, president of the Fraternal Order of Police lodge for Narberth and Lower Merion, told Patch he was "very disappointed in Narberth government." He had criticized the borough in May when a vetted candidate—not Lynn—was and the hiring process was restarted.
Check back with Patch for more coverage on Narberth police staffing.

Ford targets millennials, empty nesters
- Details
- Category: Companies
24 Mar 2013
MILLIONS of empty nesters and millennials in the US are in the market for smaller cars and crossovers, and Ford Motor Co. wants to capture their attention with a new advertising campaign slated to debut next month.
The campaign plays on the theme of "and, not or" and paints unattractive pictures of forcing choice such as mac "or" cheese, rock "or" roll, bed "or" breakfast, as opposed to both. The message: Ford's combination of performance and fuel economy is the better way to go.
The ads are targeted at vehicles mid-sized or smaller, from the Ford brand that includes the Fusion, Focus and Fiesta cars and the Escape and C-Max crossovers. The traditional print and broadcast campaign will run for the rest of the year and focus on individual vehicles.
"When customers shop, they usually start in the middle of the market," said Amy Marentic, group marketing manager for global small and medium cars.
Ford has dubbed this pool of vehicles the "super segment," accounting for half of new vehicle sales nationwide, compared with 35 percent in 2004, said Erich Merkle, Ford's US sales analyst. The numbers are huge and growing: almost 7.4 million vehicles last year, up from about 6.2 million in 2011.
And he sees no signs of it letting up.
Millennials, who range in age from late teens to early thirties, start with entry-level vehicles, and their purchasing power will only increase as they age. And baby boomers are downsizing and will continue to become empty-nesters in the next five to 10 years, Merkle said.
Millennials represent 85 million to 90 million buyers alone, Merkle said, and they are just starting to exert themselves on the marketplace. Combine that with the baby boomers, and the pool is 160 million consumers. By comparison, Generation X is only about 27 million strong.
Their buying patterns have a huge effect on market trends. Boomers don't need big family vehicles anymore, and millennials don't need them yet. Large SUV sales have dropped dramatically while small crossovers are hot. Small cars—mid-size or smaller—accounted for 13 percent of the US market in 2004 but represent 21 percent today, Merkle said.
Ford is working to ensure its fair share. The automaker sold 818,000 smaller cars and crossovers last year and the super segment is driving market share increases. Toyota is the dominant player in the super segment.

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
These Water Cowboy poems are examples of Cowboy poems about Water. These are the best examples of Water Cowboy poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
the cactus stood in surprise
with his arms to the sky
while the sun took his water not his life
sun told the prairie dogs
this is a hold up!
get in yo holes!
nosy rodents get shot with heatstrokes
little ms vegetation
close yo eyes and you won't die
dry desert!, run them
permanent bodies of water out of town!
create a dust storm!
sheriff ain't around!
he and his posse clouds are stormin
on the other side of them mountains
cactus!, you tell sheriff rainfall
he is yella!, and to erratic!
we don't see , violent stormy weather , in these parts
ya'll remember
that tomorrow
is another dry gulch day
Deer linger in the bitterbrush
Below the gambel oak—
The brittle fern shows no concern
For killdeer or cowpoke.
The miner's candle lights our way
Now lost in limber pine—
The water birch does not besmirch
Beargrass at timberline.
Sky pilots bend on mountain side
Dark as the black hawthorn—
A horned lark rests on the ninebark—
Between the two we're torn.
We journey south through water oak,
Coral bean, supple jack—
We ride beneath magnolia leaf
And miss not what we lack.
A canebrake rattler comes too close,
Like death in the sweet bay—
Chinaberry makes us tarry
This oleander day.

Some children of famous parents try to run from their legacies. Singer-actor Deana Martin isn't one of them. In her case, the parent is Dean Martin, the late legendary member of the Rat Pack whose success spanned movies, TV, recordings and nightclubs.
His daughter has chosen to embrace her father's work, via "Deana Sings Dino," a musical tribute that she will perform 8:30 p.m. Friday, May 31, at Caesars Atlantic City. The event is a benefit for the Schultz-Hill Foundation, a private nonprofit group that funds arts and education efforts in Atlantic County.
The show, with backing from an 18-piece orchestra, will feature such Dean Martin standards as "Volare," "Memories Are Made of This" and "Ain't That a Kick in the Head." His daughter will also share stories of her dad and his famous pals: Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Nat King Cole.
For Deana Martin, who has recorded two successful jazz albums, amid multiple TV appearances and stage and big screen roles, the highlight is her finale, "Everybody Loves Somebody." She ends the song with a toast to her father, who died in 1995 at age 78.
"I have never met anybody in my life that didn't love Dean Martin," she says. "He was so easy in his life, it was so natural for him."
Deana Martin talks about what her dad — and Sinatra — taught her, the status of a long-rumored bio-pic and why the Rat Pack still intrigues after all these years.
Q: In your book, "Memories Are Made of This: Dean Martin Through His Daughter's Eyes" (Crown Archetype), you write about your dad's first performances at Atlantic City's 500 Club with Jerry Lewis in the 1940s. Do you have any good stories from the era?
A: What a funny scene that was –– Jerry would run into the water and pretend like he was drowning. Dad would pull him out and pretend that he was giving him mouth-to-mouth. I also went to Atlantic City with my brother, Dino (Dean Paul Martin), when he was a teen idol. I saw the horse jumping off the high dive. It's quite an amazing place.
Q: What's the key to re-interpreting your dad's music?
A: I'm trying to bring wonderful memories to the people who are hearing it. I have my own arrangements, but we follow the style of my dad. I have that natural (sound) he had in his voice –– sometimes it just comes through.
Q: You made your TV debut in the 1960s on on your dad's variety show. Did he give you any advice?
A: I asked him if I should take singing lessons. He said, "No, unless you want to sing like everybody else in the choir." It came so naturally to him –– he had that beautiful natural voice. Frank Sinatra gave me the best information I ever received. I was going to sing a song with Uncle Frank on "The Dean Martin Show." I said, "How do you do it?" He said, "It's all about the air, and I can tell even before it comes out if I'm on pitch." I said, "Does my dad do that?" He said, "Your dad has no idea what's he's doing." Frank Sinatra worked for every note he hit. My dad didn't warm up –– he could just walk out and do it.
Q: What's the status of the movie version of your memoir –– are you still considering Johnny Depp to play your dad?
A: In Hollywood, they move glacially. It's difficult to get everything together. It's still in the works, but I want it to be just right. Bonnie Hunt is going to be writing the screenplay. Jennifer Love Hewitt wants to play me. Joe Mantegna is going to be directing and co-producing with us. When I mentioned I would love for Johnny Depp to play Dean Martin, he tweeted it. We will see –– in life everything has its own time.
Q: So much has been written about the Rat Pack. Why do you think the members held such appeal, both individually and as a group?
A: When I look at Dean, Frank and Sammy, they were the best at what they did –– they were at the top of their game. They looked great, they could sing, dance and act. They loved each other, and had incredible respect for each other. You wanted to be around them –– it was magic when you would see them as individuals, but when you would see them together, the way they would look at each other, they were having a great time on stage. I never saw them be jealous of each other –– they each wanted the others to shine.

Dirty Beaches (aka Alex Zhang Hungtai) is set to release his new double album, Drifters/Love Is The Devil, on May 21 via Zoo Music. The record evokes acid western imagery through lo-fi-as-an-art recording techniques, and the whole thing is really desolate sounding. You can stream a couple of its tracks below. He's also releasing a Japan-only bonus EP, which you can stream a track from at Pitchfork, and a split cassette with TONSTARTSSBANDHT, which you can stream a track from below.
Dirty Beaches already announced a European tour, and mentioned he'd be doing a North American tour later this year. That tour still hasn't been announced, but those in NYC won't have to wait because he's coming here for two shows in June, separate from his future tour. The first is a regular Dirty Beaches show happening at Mercury Lounge on June 26, and the second is a collaborative set of new, original material with Heathered Pearls (aka Jakub Alexander) and Eola at Glasslands on June 28.
Tickets for the Mercury Lounge show go on sale Friday (5/3) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (5/1) at noon, and tickets for the Glasslands show also go on sale Friday at noon (no presale).
All currently known dates are listed, along with those song streams, below...

Mac Demarco, who will be here next week with Ty Segall, has announced a March tour surrounding his appearance at SXSW in Austin. Most of the tour is with Captured Tracks labelmate Naomi Punk and fellow Canadian Calvin Love. The tour hits NYC before SXSW at Music Hall of Williamsburg on March 1 with Eola also on the bill. Tickets, reasonably priced at $10, go on AmEx presale on Wednesday (1/23) at noon with the regular on-sale happening on Friday (1/25).
If you're unfamiliar with opener Calvin Love, he released his debut album, New Radar, via Autumn Tone back in November and is sort of electropop lonely highway music. You can stream the whole album below.
A list of all Mac DeMarco tour dates and the Calvin Love stream are below...

Baltimore bands Roomrunner, Dope Body, & Ed Schrader's Music Beat playing Bklyn shows (separately) (dates/streams)
Roomrunner at Mercury Lounge in September (more by Tracy Allison)
Baltimore grunge bearers Roomrunner have two solid EPs under their belt -- 2011's self titled EP and 2012's Super Vague EP -- and they're in the process of recording their debut full length. No word on when that will come out, but presumably some time in 2013. The band are playing a few shows this January, including one in Brooklyn on January 18 at Shea Stadium with Bambara, Advaeta (who recently announced a show with with Hilly Eye and Sleepies), and Young Adults. Most of the dates on that run are with Northampton's Speedy Ortiz (who recently played NYC with Thurston Moore) but they're not on the NYC date.
Speaking of Shea Stadium and the Baltimore scene, Dope Body will be playing a show at the Brooklyn venue on December 28 with PC Worship, Osekre & the Lucky Bastards, Kntrlr, and Beach Cops.
That's one day before another Baltimore band, Ed Schrader's Music Beat (who topped Dan Deacon's Best LPs of 2012 list) plays Shea (12/29) with AMi DAng, Eola, and Psychobuildings. Ed Schrader's Music Beat also plays a Brooklyn show on January 26 at Death by Audio with Bambara and more TBA.

Montreal's Braids were just in NYC for ATP and while they were in the area, the closest club date they played was at Hoboken's Maxwell's a few days before ATP. Now they'll be returning to NYC during CMJ for a free, and far more intimate than ATP, show at Pianos on October 17 for the Tell All Your Friends day party. The show starts at noon and Braids are on at 6 PM. Other bands playing including Maus Haus, Blackbird Blackbird, Team Spirit, Solid Gold, Filligar, Triple Hex, Zulu Pearls, and still more.

After that show, Blue Hawaii will play the M for Montreal showcase at Arlene's Grocery on October 19 with Doldrums, Mozart's Sister, Absolutely Free, Royal Canoe, Plaster, Ariane Mofatt, and TOPS, and the POP Montreal day party at Cameo on October 20 with Goose Hut, Mozart's Sister, Solar Year, Valleys, C T Z N S H P.
Blue Hawaii also play the Arbutus Records Showcase at Death by Audio on October 20 with Doldrums, TOPS, Majical Cloudz, and Eola.

Check it out, along with its tracklist, below.
As mentioned, Blue Hawaii will open for her in NYC at Bowery Ballroom on October 27 with Myths.

The grave of the former secretary and chairman is rededicated.
Everton remembered and celebrated the life of one of the Club's most iconic figures, former secretary and chairman Will Cuff, on Monday afternoon.
Dozens of Everton officials and supporters were in attendance at Anfield Cemetery where a ceremony to mark the rededication of his grave took place, 65 years on from his death.
Life President Sir Philip Carter and Chief Executive Robert Elstone were present at the service, along with manager Roberto Martinez who laid a wreath at Cuff's resting place.
The restoration of Cuff's grave was the culmination of a combined project involving the football club and the Everton Heritage Society after it had previously been unattended for a number of years.
Sir Philip, who similarly to Cuff occupied the role of Everton chairman for a lengthy spell, said Monday's events were fitting for someone who had played an immeasurable part in the Club's history.
"Will Cuff, when you see and hear about his background, is quite incredible," Sir Philip told evertontv. "He was a fantastic man and I'm quite delighted that we have had this meeting.
"Those of us who do know the background to Everton – and Liverpool for that matter – realise how important it is to re-live what did happen. But not many people will know too much about Will Cuff until a situation like this occurs.
"We at Everton take an interest and get quite excited about people who have helped the Club so tremendously over the years.
"It was quite incredible when you read from starting at the Church [St Domingo's] through to him becoming president of the league. Not many people do that in their lives."
Cuff, who passed away aged 79 in February 1949, is widely considered as the man responsible for the formation of Everton in its current guise.
He first became involved with St Domingo's Church and helped to relocate the Club across Stanley Park to Goodison, where he first became secretary and then chairman for several decades at the start of the 1900s.
Under Cuff's stewardship as secretary, the Club won the FA Cup for the first time in its history in 1906 and the First Division Championship in 1915.
Cuff was elected chairman in 1921. Another two league championships came to Goodison in 1928 and 1932, along with a second FA Cup triumph in 1933.
In 1938, Cuff became President of the Football League - a role he performed until his death in February 1949.
Head of the Heritage Society, Paul Wharton, explained that Cuff's new headstone, which features a plaque listing his achievements, will help appropriately depict his impressive legacy.
He said: "The old headstone wasn't fitting for such a great, iconic figure as Will Cuff. He's now been recognised again, as a man of his status should be.
"This is easier now to maintain and I'm sure Everton in the Community will help to look after it."

How to Make a WordPress Blog Duplicate Content SafeNovember 30th, 2006
In one of my recent posts I wrote about the duplicate content issue. This topic is especially important to me since my blog uses the WordPress content management system which, when used with the default configuration, is not duplicate content proof. In fact this CMS is capable to render almost 100% of your content duplicate. As usual the fault of the system has roots in its advantages. WordPress has many features facilitating blogging and linking, such as RSS feeds to posts and comments, trackback URLs, monthly archives and so on. In the same time this variety of URLs returning similar or identical pages represents a clear case of duplicate content.
WordPress And Duplicate Content
The first evidences of duplicate content produced by your WordPress CMS can be found in your sidebar. They are category pages and monthly/daily archives. Category pages store your articles posted under the same topic – a category. Such pages have no unique content; they are just a collection of your previous posts. Monthly and daily archives also simply group your previous articles by the date of posting. Sometimes when you have only one post in a given day, the archive page for the date and your post are totally identical.
The next case of duplicate content is even more prominent. It can be your home page itself. If it contains not excerpts but the full text of your posts, then it duplicates your post pages. This also applies to the 'next/previous entries' pages – those accessible via /page/2, /3, /4 etc.
Feeds. Search engine spiders crawl all the content they can reach and of course this includes RSS feeds too. The additional problem with them is that Google may choose to display your RSS URL in the search results over the link to the original post. In this case the user who clicks this result will see an XML formatted page which is not 'human-friendly'.
Trackback URLs. Many WordPress templates add trackback links after posts. This links enable authors to track who links to their posts. Usually, if your post URL looks like 'www.yoursite.com/2006-11-30/yourpost/' its trackback URL will be 'www.yoursite.com/2006-11-30/yourpost/trackback/'.
Identical meta-description. By default WordPress doesn't provide a tool to add unique meta description tags to your posts, and they either have none or share a single site-wide description. Having no meta description at all is a disadvantage, as a properly written one can make your snippet stand out in a SERP. Having an identical description for all your pages is a threat, as Google might get them filtered out as too similar. (see a thread here)
Because of the duplicate content Google search can return less desired URLs (such as feeds or archives instead of original posts); your pages can be moved out of their index, or placed into the supplemental results, which are rarely displayed to users.
Solving the Duplicate Content Issue in WordPress
Adding 'noindex, follow' tags
What can you do to avoid this problem? You can tell the search engines what URL to index by using 'noindex, follow' meta tag, robots.txt exclusions or 301 redirects. Let's say you want Google to index your front page, posts, single pages and category pages and forbid the spiders from crawling the content of archives, feeds and 'next entries' pages – page/2, /3, … To do this you have to add to your header.php the following code:
if((is_home() && ($paged < 2 )) || is_single() || is_page() || is_category()){
echo '<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />';
} else {
echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />';}
For those not familiar with editing templates in WordPress: in your dashboard click Presentation menu item and after the new page is opened – click Theme Editor. In the Theme Editor choose 'header.php' and then paste the above code into the editor form. This code has to be inserted anywhere between head tags .
Here the tag is added to the home page but not the 'next entries' page (is_home() and ($paged<2)), to your posts (is_single()); to solo pages, like 'About me', if you created any (is_page()); and to category pages (is_category()). If you don't want your categories to be indexed just delete || is_category(). All the other pages will get . They will not be indexed, but this will not prevent crawlers from following their outgoing links.
Adding unique meta description
For this purpose I use Head Meta Description plugin. This plugin can be configured to use an excerpt of your post as a meta description – this is especially useful if you have to add this tag to hundreds of existing pages. Or you can add your own manually as a custom field, which is my personal preference.
Using more tag
By using this tag you tell WordPress to display only the first few lines of your post. This greatly reduces the similarity of home page and your articles. If you have too many existing posts to edit, you can use an 'excerpt' plugin, such as this one from Semiologic
Redirect to a canonical URL
You should edit your .htaccess file to perform 301 redirects. Non-www addresses like yoursite.com should be redirected to www.yoursite.com. URL without trailing slashes like www.yoursite.com/category should be rewritten to include it: www.yoursite.com/category/ This can be done by inserting the following code into your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yoursite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R,L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
For more details I advise you to read this: the process or rewriting the URL layout.
Preventing spiders from crawling feeds and auxiliary pages
For this purpose you should edit your robots.txt file by inserting the following code
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-
Disallow: /search
Disallow: /feed
Disallow: /comments/feed
Disallow: /feed/$
Disallow: /*/feed/$
Disallow: /*/feed/rss/$
Disallow: /*/trackback/$
Disallow: /*/*/feed/$
Disallow: /*/*/feed/rss/$
Disallow: /*/*/trackback/$
Disallow: /*/*/*/feed/$
Disallow: /*/*/*/feed/rss/$
Disallow: /*/*/*/trackback/$
Another two practical tips
Some people find it useful to restrict the number of posts displayed in your home page to 4-5, as less posts are duplicated.
A great article on customizing the more tag in WordPress.
To Sum Up:
- To avoid the duplicate content issue in WordPress include you should do:
- Add 'noindex, follow' meta tag to your monthly/weekly/daily archives, 'next entries', and if necessary, category pages
- Ensure that all your pages have unique meta-description tags
- Set up 301 redirects for your non-www URL and URLs without trailing slashes
- Restrict search engine crawlers from indexing your feeds and trackbacks
- Use more tag to show excerpts in your home page instead of full posts
- Restrict the number of posts displayed in your home page

A couple of questions:
1) This problem seems to be exclusively a Google problem (from my experience) – therefore in your Robot.txt suggestion, would it be wiser to specify Googlebot rather than blanket-disallowing all bots?
2) Do you have any information how long it takes for your SERPs to recover after you implement these changes? I want my traffic back

Question… I've implemented similar actions on my WP blogs before but in looking at your robots file I've thought of question in relation to side effects of not allowing gbot to index your feeds.
a ton of my traffic comes from google blog search. I should probably know this already, but where does G get their blog data from? are they watching the ping sites? are they watching feeds? obviously the post on the site is what is indexed, but what are they monitoring to get updates?
though I guess my sitemaps submission would get around any issues there. thoughts?

Very informative post. Please help this poor student with a BIG problem.

Now if they reside on both the places – then its duplicate,right? How to avoid this? If I delete my blogger blog, I may take a lotta time to impress search engines!! Is there any way to 'noindex' only those 57 posts in my wordpress blog? Can I add a new category for those 57 posts and then noindex them in the header?
Thanks for reading this far!! Hope my issue is resolved

That was really a very interesting read. But I got a few questions to ask.
What about tag archives? Are they considered as duplicated content too? Should I prevent googlebots from indexing them as well?

Good points even if this post is a little bit old. I've been getting used to using WordPress for a few months only but my question is similar to the commenter above.
What about tags? I see Google indexing not only my main pages but if I have 10 tags per post then that's another 10 pages, theoretically, that Google is indexing but, it's obviously duplicate content barring 1 word, the tag itself.
Any tips?
Thanks for the write up

I have been experiencing a lot of problems regarding duplicate content at google webmasters tools.
Sometimes it shows duplicate meta description for posts, and sometimes it shows for tag pages.
I need someone to provide seo services to me.. I dont know what to do… whom to hire. I use the All in one seo plugin. THe categories are noindexed and archive pages are also no indexed. Still dont know whats wrong… Please help. I'll be notified of comments via email.

Thank you for this blog post. I've been searching for days on how to fix an issue I was having.
I'm going to try activating the noindex in the All in One SEO pack, on the tags – heopfully that will solve it!
I think google may be counting my actual posts as duplicates of the tagged pages.
Who knows!!

You should not activate noindex for tag pages. Instead do this for archives and category pages. Tag pages appear many times in SE results. I am sure google does not count tag pages as duplicates of your actual posts.
Just have atmost 4 posts on homepage and use the "more" tag as the author tells you.
Anna Says:

@ Psychometry
I already had the noindex on the categories and the archives.
I've also tried using the "more" tags.
Google doesn't seem to index my actual threads until they move off the front page of the blog.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do? (My blog should be linked under my name above)

My problem is, will this lead to duplicate content issue and get Google to penalise my blog and such? Or should i just delete all my entries and just keep a static page that says this blog has moved?

In these times were social sites, twitter, facebook and stuff are taking over the net, it's hard to tell what's duplicate content. If someone bookmarks my post on digg, mixx, delicious and other how can i prevent that my 'duplicate content' is being distributed over the internet and harm my true content and web page? In my opinion search engines doesn't really put so much attention to duplicate content cos it really can't detect what is true and what is duplicate.

Interview: Thierry Bonhomme.
The QUADRANT 1200 pioneered the 120 x 70-cm bale size in 1987. CLAAS then went on to create a revolutionary large baler family featuring higher capacity and legendary reliability with the QUADRANT 2200. The 3200 series delivers even greater throughput, a new, additional pre-chamber control and the next FINE CUT generation.
Thierry Bonhomme played a major role in the development of the QUADRANT 3400 and 3200.
What are the new features that set the QUADRANT 3200 apart?
A new transmission and new drives have been developed to boost throughput. What's more, the new baler has been fitted with a pre-chamber system for small swaths in order to achieve even more effective machine utilisation. This is an additional and adjustable hydraulic pre-chamber that we've adopted from the king-sized QUADRANT 3400.
What advantages do the new packer tines and pre-chamber design offer our customers?
It's the only pre-chamber that can be adjusted from the cab and also switched on and off from there. This means that different harvesting conditions can be catered to quickly and easily when changing fields. In small swaths, the pre-chamber can be adjusted and adapted individually to the prevailing circumstances. Top-quality bales are therefore produced in all conditions. However, you don't need to use the pre-chamber for large swaths. The pre-chamber is switched off in this case, and the chamber is filled with every piston stroke. This keeps the bale slices as small as possible, and top compaction is achieved with a low power requirement. Heavy, consistently long bales are the result.
Further features of the new baler are the second-generation FINE CUT and an increased throughput capacity. How did these come about?
The new drives increase the crop flow speed at the POWER FEEDING SYSTEM and rotor by 30 percent. The chopped slices are thinner, and the throughput increases. These are benefits that show up especially with the FINE CUT cutting system with its 49 knives. With the new FINE CUT chopping system, the cutting frequency increases to over 35,000 cuts per minute. In contrast to the front-mounted chopper, short straw can be produced for bedding or forage rations directly in the field without creating large dust clouds and undesirable straw mats.
Operating and driving comfort are two key features of the QUADRANT for drivers. What's been changed on the new baler?
For me personally, in addition to the high operating comfort of the CLAAS COMMUNICATOR control terminal, the transmission with automatic sequential switching is extremely important. The CLAAS patented interactive overload protection for the rotor and packer tines connects two independent clutches with one another – shear bolts and chains are a thing of the past. In an overload situation, it automatically switches off the feed and actively clears the blockage.
Does the QUADRANT 3200 cover all application needs?
The objective, very clearly, was to satisfy market requirements. Customers demanded balers that are versatile, achieve perfectly compacted bales in all crops and therefore make high annual outputs possible. At the same time, they must enable the ever-shortening harvesting windows to be exploited to the full with large throughputs, and they must clear areas faster and set new standards for tonnage output per season. And the fact that we have succeeded in this is proven by the QUADRANT 3200 in the field.
We are where you are. Locate your CLAAS dealer.
If you would like to order a brochure or contact us directly, you've come to the right place.

Dallas, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/31/2014 -- RnRMarketResearch.com adds "World Water Treatment Chemicals to 2017" new market research report to its store.
World demand to reach $31 billion in 2017
World demand for water treatment chemicals is forecast to rise almost six percent per year to nearly $31 billion in 2017. Demand will be driven by rising water quality standards in manufacturing and other industrial applications, expanded access to safe drinking water in underserved regions, and a shift toward higher value chemicals with improved performance and/or environmental profiles, particularly in developed countries. Advances will be the fastest in developing parts of the world due to healthy economic growth and tightening environmental regulations. However, despite the shift in demand toward higher cost products, increases in developed countries will be tempered by greater competition between chemicals and equipment.
Complete report is available @ http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/world-water-treatment-chemicals-to-2017-market-report.html .
Rising water quality standards to drive growth in developing regions
In developing regions, rising standards for industrial water quality and the adoption of more complex manufacturing processes, along with healthy economic expansion, will drive strong growth in demand for water treatment chemicals. In many developing countries, the use of water treatment chemicals has historically been low relative to use rates seen in manufacturing and industrial markets in more affluent areas, and rising water treatment chemical use rates will be reflective of greater reliance on both commodity-type chemicals and specialty chemicals. The increased use of water treatment chemicals in these regions will be supported by manufacturers' efforts to remain competitive by improving the quality of finished products, which can be directly impacted by water quality.
Growing environmental concerns and increased efforts to modernize municipal water treatment facilities will also support demand for water treatment chemicals in developing areas, as regulations regarding wastewater management and municipal water standards become more stringent. In many developing areas, where wastewater management has historically received less attention than process or supply water treatment, new wastewater quality requirements will promote increased use of water treatment chemicals to remove pollutants before wastewater is discharged to the environment or is reused. Increased investments in municipal water infrastructure in developing countries will also boost higher demand for water treatment chemicals, as governments seek to improve access to safe drinking water supplies and sanitation facilities.
Water treatment equipment to have mixed impact on chemical demand
In developed regions where the utilization of water treatment chemicals is well established, growth in demand for water treatment chemicals is expected to be more moderate and the shift in product mix will be more complex. For example, higher industrial water quality standards and environmental regulations worldwide are expected to support demand for water treatment equipment, which can be used to partially replace some chemicals such as biocides but can also support the use of higher-value specialty corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, and coagulants and flocculants. These chemicals can be used to promote and protect equipment function. However, because water treatment equipment cannot fully replace the use of water treatment chemicals, users in more affluent areas have been turning to lower-dose, higher cost specialty chemicals, contributing to modest value growth in water treatment chemical demand.
Company Profiles
Profiles global industry players such as Arch Chemical, Ashland Chemical, BASF, Ecolab (Nalco), General Eletric and Kemira
Additional Information
This study examines the global market for water treatment chemicals. Historical data (2002, 2007, and 2012) and forecasts for 2017 and 2022 are provided for sales of water treatment chemical at the aggregate level on a country-by-country basis, valued in millions of current US dollars, including inflation. Products include corrosion and scale inhibitors, coagulants and flocculants, biocides, pH adjusters, and other chemicals. The term "demand" refers to "apparent consumption," and is defined as shipments (also referred to variously as "production," "output," or "supply") plus imports, minus exports. It is used interchangeably with the terms "market," "sales," and "consumption."
A potential source of statistical discrepancy in the historical series for sales is the conversion from national currencies to a common currency, in this case the US dollar. Every effort has been made to adjust compiled data to form a consistent pattern for comparing the various national water treatment markets.
A variety of primary and secondary sources were utilized in the compilation of this report. These include government statistical agencies, trade associations, industry experts, financial sources, and participating company sources. Also consulted were trade periodicals and publications, corporate annual reports, product catalogs, and other company information.

iOS 5 for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad has a great set of accessibility features that can be useful for just about anyone. You can zoom in on the screen, change the font size for some apps, have your iPhone speak text on web pages and in documents, use multi-touch gestures with just one finger, and even set custom vibration sequences.
Hi, this is Gary with MacMostNow. Let's look at the accessibility options in iOS 5, many of which can be useful to anyone.
Accessibility settings are in the Settings path. Scroll down to general, then you go down to Accessibility. Many of these settings can be useful even if you don't need them. Take a look at one as an example. For zoom, let's turn that off. Now you can see here I double-tap with three fingers to turn it on. Now I can put three fingers on the screen and drag around and I can see a different part of the screen magnified. If I double-tap and drag up and down, I can change the magnification. Then I can just go in here and turn it off.
Now, you can use large text to change the font size in some apps like Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages and Notes. You can choose the font size here or leave it off for the standard size.
Now Speak Selection allows you to listen with a computer voice for text you have selected. Let's say I get the Speak there, press that, and it will speak that text: "previous iPhone launches with long lines, sell-out of broken sales records at AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. A reported 4 million units have sold over the weekend. The downside"
Now here's one I love. Turn on Custom Vibrations. Then you can go back to the Ring Settings, go into Sounds, and in addition to all the sounds you can set, you can also set vibration patterns. So you've got some standard ones, where you can see, just change to Alert, they also have Heartbeat, you also have SOS, Symphony, and you can assign these then to specific contacts. So one contact might have a Heartbeat vibration while another has an SOS vibration. In addition, you can create a new vibration by simply tapping out a series with your finger and then it will save it and then you can use that for a contact.
Now the way you assign it to a contact is just go into Contacts and select the contact you want, tap Edit, and under Vibration, now, you can change it to one of those standards there or you can create a new vibration right there in the Contacts.
Now if you go down to the bottom here, you've got something called Assistive Touch which is really interesting. Turn it on here, you see this dot that appears in the lower right hand corner. You tap this dot and this menu comes up and now you can tap on say, Gestures, and select the number of fingers that you want to use and now you're scrolling with two fingers even though I'm only touching the screen with just one.
In addition, I can click on Device and there are certain things I can do and perform right here and I can also do an on screen Home button by doing that.
In addition, we have a set of favorites here that you can add to so I can tap there and then create a new gesture. For instance,I can do, say, three fingers like that,three finger tap and I can name it.
And, last but not least, under Accessibility,at the very bottom, I've got triple click on the Home button and you can determine what happens when you triple click. For instance, I can have a triple click turn on VoiceOver or turn on or off Assistive Touch or turn on or off the Asking function, which then will let me pick which one of those I want to choose.
Now, the most powerful Accessibility option is VoiceOver. But unless you need to use it, it would probably get more in the way than anything else, as it makes it harder to select items on the screen, but if you can't see the screen, then it's a fantastic tool for being able to use you iPhone.
This is all new is iOS 5, but it works on the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 4 probably with a 3GS as well and most of the functions are available also on the iPad.
Hope you found this useful. Until next time, this is Gary with MacMostNow.
