			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a lot of URL shorteners out there these days that will do the trick, but for obvious reasons I&#8217;d choose the <a href="http://goo.gl/">Google Url Shortener</a> over all the others.  They state directly on their site that &#8220;All goo.gl Urls and click analytics are public and can be accessed by anyone.&#8221;, so my guess would be that they also get indexed into the Google database for searches.</p>
<p>By the way, if you don&#8217;t know what on Earth a Url Shortener would be used for, they&#8217;re handy for shrinking a long website address into a very small one. Most times these are used for in Twitter and like status messages where you have only a limited number of characters you can use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of people feel that just once they&#8217;ve gotten the hang of a new social media app or website like Facebook, they make radical, mind-numbing changes that can&#8217;t be kept up with or that a brand new social media trend comes along to learn.</p>
<p>Do you have a Facebook business page? Is it ready for the new layout changes? Do you have your banner, profile image and apps all setup? Because Facebook switched all of them over to the new layout March 30, 2012, ready or not.</p>
<p>Have you heard of the latest social media craze, Pinterest? Are you getting a headache just wondering about how this one works and how you can make it work for your business? Do you have nightmares about what the next social media trend will be and what you&#8217;ll have to learn and keep up with next?</p>
<p>Relax, don&#8217;t worry about it! Focus on your business and hire me to focus on your business&#8217; social life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="color: #003366;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Holiday Electronic Gifts Increase Yearly, Increasing the EWaste Dilemma</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img src="http://newportcomputers.com/uploads/iStock_000004372967XSmall.jpg" alt="ewaste disposal electronics recycling" width="348" height="229" align="right" border="0" />For many towns and cities across the United States, e-Waste is becoming an increasingly growing concern. Solid Waste Programs in many regions simply do not have the facilities and capability to properly dispose of the mountains of used electronics we throw away every year.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">This mountain of eWaste engorges with every Christmas and Holiday season as the newest electronics are often the gift of choice, replacing our older gadgets from last year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The most purchased electronics for 2010 were: </span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Smaller Laptops (such as netbooks) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Smartphones (iPhone leading in sales)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Tablets (iPad leading in sales</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">HDTVs</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Digital Cameras </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">MP3s players</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Video Game Consoles (Xbox 360 and PS3 top sold systems)</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Many of these products produce a new updated version every year, enticing us to regularly update and providing us with the dilemma of how to dispose of our old electronic equipment. This contributes to the fact that electronic waste is already one of the fastest growing segments of municipal waste in the world, and is increasing at 3 times the rate of all other waste.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">All electronics are composed of environmentally and health hazardous chemicals that can cause people to become ill not only by direct contact but also through the after-affects of improper disposal and the resulting effect on our surrounding environment. Electronics can contain lead, chromium, cadmium, mercury, beryllium, nickel, zinc and Brominated flame retardants, all which can cause disastrous effects when leached into our ecosystem. This is the result when our electronics become buried in landfills and burned in incinerators.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Proper disposal of electronic waste helps keep our environment and ourselves healthy. These toxic chemicals and heavy metals become safely contained where they can’t do harm and often can be recycled for reuse.</span></p>
<div><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Newport Computers specializes in IT asset recovery and the safe and secure disposal and recycling of e-waste, used, old computers &amp; electronic equipment. <a href="http://newportcomputers.com/about-us/contact-us.aspx">Contact us for more information</a>.<br />

</div>
<p>Why build a steel frame home? Steel is a superior construction material with the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material. It’ll withstand more weather, high winds and earthquakes than a wood-framed home. In addition, steel framing won’t burn, rot, warp, split, mold, crack or creep.</p>
<p>RepCo Industries is based in Social Circle, Georgia GA, but offers their home and building kits for sale worldwide.</p>
<p><strong>They&#8217;ve hired Soul Oyster Web Studios to provide SEO Search Engine Optimization of their website and continuous monthly internet marketing services to increase online traffic to their website at <a href="http://www.repco-usa.com/" target="_blank">http://www.repco-usa.com</a></strong></p>

<p>Portsmouth is a popular stop for visitors touring the seacoast, being less than 1 hour north of Boston, less than 1 hour south of Portland, Maine and located along the highways of Route 95 and Route 1. Not to mention being picturesquely perched alongside the swift-flowing Piscataqua River on its route to the nearby ocean only ½ a mile away. For many, its a few days of an enjoyable waylay while on a driving trip through coastal New England or with its many moorings and yacht clubs, a boaters haven.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.souloyster.com/seo-blog/wp-content/uploads/strawberrybanke.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-29" style="margin-right: 10px;" title="strawberrybanke" src="http://www.souloyster.com/seo-blog/wp-content/uploads/strawberrybanke.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" align="left" /></a>With its near 400 years of European history, Portsmouth is one of the oldest cities in the United States, being settled in 1623. Pristine examples of every era of architecture can be found in town. Don’t miss visiting the museums around town of which there are many. From <a href="http://www.historicnewengland.org/historic-properties/homes/jackson-house" target="_blank">oldest surviving wood-framed house in New Hampshire</a>, built in 1664, the many Federal-style mansions around town now maintained by <a href="http://www.historicnewengland.org/historic-properties/homes/jackson-house" target="_blank">Historic New England</a>, and the over 30 historic homes from many different eras that can be toured at the <a href="http://www.strawberybanke.org/" target="_blank">Strawberry Banke Museum</a>. Neighborhoods solely comprised of only early colonial homes can still be found, packed in side by side tightly on windy and narrow roads.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.souloyster.com/seo-blog/wp-content/uploads/athenaeum-doorway.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-30" style="margin-left: 10px;" title="athenaeum-doorway" src="http://www.souloyster.com/seo-blog/wp-content/uploads/athenaeum-doorway.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" align="right" /></a>The downtown area was obliterated by fire not once, but 3 times. After which they reconstructed in a less flammable material of brick and stone. The <a href="http://www.portsmouthathenaeum.org/" target="_blank">Portsmouth Athenaeum</a>, located in Market Square is a gorgeous example of the rise from the ashes, and was constructed in 1817, only 4 years after the last great fire. Its Federal-era style of brick and white elaborate ornamentation is rarely seen.</p>
<p>Portsmouth&#8217;s early elite built grand, opulent mansions all over town. The <a href="http://www.portsmouthathenaeum.org/" target="_blank">Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion</a> was built in 1750 for then England’s Royal Governor Benning Wentworth. New Hampshire’s first Governor, <a href="http://www.historicnewengland.org/historic-properties/homes/gov.-john-langdon-house/gov.-john-langdon-house" target="_blank">John Langdon</a> (also signer of the US Constitution) built his masterful residence that is also now a museum located on Pleasant St.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.souloyster.com/seo-blog/wp-content/uploads/tallships.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-31" style="margin-right: 10px;" title="tallships" src="http://www.souloyster.com/seo-blog/wp-content/uploads/tallships.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" align="left" /></a>The town was once on par with Boston as one of the major merchant seaports in this hemisphere. Portsmouth’s harbor was once filled with sailing vessels from all over the world. Boaters from all over the world still fill the harbor. To celebrate Portsmouth&#8217;s heritage, <a href="http://www.pmcportsmouth.org/" target="_blank">Tall Ships</a> still visit this area a couple times a year and are welcomed with grand entrance parades.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.souloyster.com/seo-blog/wp-content/uploads/tomlaighton.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-32" style="margin-left: 10px;" title="tomlaighton" src="http://www.souloyster.com/seo-blog/wp-content/uploads/tomlaighton.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" align="right" /></a>But to truly enjoy Portsmouth and the seacoast area, you should tour it from the waterside. Boaters here enjoy spectacular views all along the coast of Kittery Maine and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Two historic lighthouses stand sentry at the mouth of the river still in use to light the way for coming and going ships. If you don’t have your own boat don’t worry, day trips are available on several vessels including those from <a href="http://www.portsmouthharbor.com/" target="_blank">Portsmouth Harbor Cruises</a>, <a href="http://www.portsmouthharbor.com/" target="_blank">Isles of Shoals Steamship Company</a> and <a href="http://www.tugboatalley.com/cruise/" target="_blank">Tug Alley Too</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.souloyster.com/seo-blog/wp-content/uploads/brickrow.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-33" style="margin-right: 10px;" title="brickrow" src="http://www.souloyster.com/seo-blog/wp-content/uploads/brickrow.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" align="left" /></a>The brick row houses downtown that now hold restaurants, art galleries and boutique shops were once storehouses and shops from this merchant-shipping era that sold goods from China, India and other exotic places. These and other antique buildings around town make interesting settings for the unique shopping and dining experiences that Portsmouth now holds in store.</p>
<p>One of the more unique and antique venues is that of the <a href="http://www.bluemermaid.com/" target="_blank">Blue Mermaid Island Grille</a>. Located in the old Nutter-Rhymes House built in 1810 in the cluster of antique structures now known as The Hill (in between Deer and Hanover Streets), this Caribbean-inspired restaurant serves its fare in a building built in 1810 and features a rarely seen carriage-way through the middle of the building.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.souloyster.com/seo-blog/wp-content/uploads/kitteryside2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-34" style="margin-left: 10px;" title="kitteryside2" src="http://www.souloyster.com/seo-blog/wp-content/uploads/kitteryside2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" align="right" /></a>But if this type of food doesn’t inspire your stomach, don’t worry, there’s plenty in this town that will. The town is abound with restaurants of every type, from take-out, casual and the finest dining. You can even buy a traditional lobster roll right from carts on the street. If you prefer water views with your dining or outdoor seating, don’t miss a tour of Bow Street, Ceres Street and the waterfront area known as “The Decks.”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.souloyster.com/seo-blog/wp-content/uploads/prescott-fountains.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-35" style="margin-right: 10px;" title="prescott-fountains" src="http://www.souloyster.com/seo-blog/wp-content/uploads/prescott-fountains.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" align="left" /></a>The riverside of Portsmouth holds not only history, beautiful scenery, sumptuous drinks and dining but also the festive and event-filled <a href="http://www.prescottpark.org/" target="_blank">Prescott Park and Gardens</a> on Marcy Street. Here you can find events from April to October in food festivals, musicals, plays, and concert productions. You can find beauty in the gardens as long as they’re in bloom.</p>
<p>The shopping here is fantastic. Most are unique boutiques only found in town or in New England. Some, in the old tradition, import goods from around the world (<a href="http://falalo.com/" target="_blank">Fa la Lo</a>, <a href="http://celticcrossing.com/mysitecaddy/site3/" target="_blank">Celtic Crossing</a>, <a href="http://www.parsorientalrugs.com/" target="_blank">Par’s Oriental Rugs</a>, <a href="http://www.worldlygoodsnh.com/" target="_blank">Worldly Goods</a>). Admittedly the apparel shopping here is more favorable towards women (<a href="http://www.serendipitynh.com/" target="_blank">Serendipity</a>, <a href="http://www.ganeshimports.com/" target="_blank">Ganesh</a>, <a href="http://www.secondtimearound.net" target="_blank">Second Time Around</a>), but there are some men-shopping opportunities, particularly at the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Manporium/204164476292887" target="_blank">Manporium</a> which is focuses on selling items with guys in mind. But there are plenty of opportunities for those who love art, antiques, gourmet items, artisan crafts and all things New England.</p>
<p>Portsmouth is truly a pleasant place to visit any time of year to have a true New England experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ROCHESTER — With many millions of computers and other electronic goods being manufactured worldwide every year, the north Rochester firm Newport Computer Systems is part of a team that is developing an analytical tool to help companies address the adverse impact on the planet associated with the manufacturing process.</p>
<p>Last year, NCS was one of the first three companies, worldwide, to receive the prestigious Basel Action Network e-Steward certification for the responsible reuse and recycling of electronic materials.</p>
<p>Now, NCS, as part of LCAnalytics, is helping to develop a model to measure accurately the environmental impact of computers and their components. The working name for the project is LCAT, or Life Cycle Analytic Tool, and it audits not just the manufacturing process of the various electronic parts, but the impact of their transportation, years of use and final disposal — hence life cycle. International global warming accounting standards, including the ISO 14000 series, are being adhered to throughout the process. </p>
