Does anyone know if any of the WP Calendar plugins allow users to sign up to attend events that are on the calendar?
Does anyone know if any of the WP Calendar plugins allow users to sign up to attend events that are on the calendar?
Even though this post is 4 months old, I'm responding because the functionality described is much desired by organizations and does not exist today in WordPress.
I'm describing the ability for members to pledge or volunteer for a specific event. This functionality would really help political and other non-profit organizations. Characteristics of such a plug in would include:
1. Ability for users with the Contributor to create events. These events would then be subject to review by Editor and Admin. If approved, the event would appear in the calendar.
2. Events could specify the number of volunteers required.
3. Members could pledge/volunteer for specific events.
An example is a political rally. The event creator wants at least 20 people there. The event specifies 20 people. As members login and pledge to be there—the count is decremented and everyone can see which members pledged to be there.
This would be a fantastic plugin especially for political organizations. First, there are multiple organizations working together (County, Township, District, Candidate). Each has their own website. If I am running a County website, I can create accounts for each candidate (Contributor role) and these contributors could add their candidate events to my calendar.
I would also love to have this sort of functionality. However, using the events calendar from http://heirem.fr/category/plugins/events-calendar/ I can at least link events to another page, or anywhere else. This way I can set up a sign up sheet that can at least be linked to the calendar. I hope that helps a little.

I'm heading into my playoff tournament and my team has already played this school and they have this player who is like LeBron or Kobe and can just dominate the game. Last game I was stuck guarding her and we got blown out, this kid is at least 3 inches taller than me. She's as big as a center and she handles the ball like our starting PG. I'm a PF and I'm horrible at playing perimeter D and I'm slower and got burned a ton of times by this kid. Please give me some tips!
Well...it is a tough task anytime you play someone who is better than you...
There are a few things you can do:
Try to not let her get the ball. Often times with good players, it is easier to not let them touch the ball than it is to guard them once they have it. If you work on denying her the ball this is one good strategy.
If she blows by you frequently, maybe play off here a little bit and make her beat you with her jump shot. If she makes a few in a row, then go back to playing a little closer, but often times a bad shooting day can be a bad day for a great player.
Be smart. Don't try to block her shots...just put a hand in her face and make it tougher to shoot. Box her out everytime so she doesn't get 2nd changes. Take a charge if she lowers her shoulder.
If she guards you, make her work really really hard to get her tired (sprint everywhere, set screens, run the floor). If you are in better shape than she is, maybe you can wear her down.
I have tons of great basketball info on my site: Basketball Training
Check it out...there is a lot of good info on stuff like guarding good players, quicker players, post players, etc...
Thanks! I'm really kinda nervous for this game, its the biggest one i've ever played.

How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Betamethasone dipropionate belongs to the class of medications called topical corticosteroids. It is used to relieve inflammatory symptoms and itch caused by severe psoriasis and rashes that respond to treatment with corticosteroid creams, lotions, or ointments. Such rashes include contact dermatitis, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, and senile pruritis. It works by reducing inflammation, swelling, and irritation of the skin.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are being given this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop using this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to use this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
Each gram of cream contains betamethasone dipropionate USP equivalent to betamethasone 0.5 mg in a water-miscible base. Nonmedicinal ingredients: cetostearyl alcohol, chlorocresol, mineral oil, monobasic sodium phosphate, phosphoric acid, polyethylene glycol 1000 monocetyl ether, sodium hydroxide, water, and white petrolatum.
Each gram of lotion contains betamethasone dipropionate USP equivalent to betamethasone 0.5 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: carbomer 934P, isopropyl alcohol, sodium hydroxide to adjust pH, and water.
Each gram of ointment contains betamethasone dipropionate USP equivalent to 0.5 mg (0.05%) betamethasone USP, in a lanolin-free base. Nonmedicinal ingredients: white petrolatum.
How should I use this medication?
Cream or ointment: Apply enough cream or ointment to completely cover the affected area, with a thin film. Massage it gently and thoroughly into the skin. This medication is usually applied once daily in the morning, or twice daily in the morning and at night as directed by the doctor. The treatment should be stopped when the condition is cleared. This usually takes at least 3 days. Do not continue the medication for longer than 4 weeks without further consulting your doctor.
Lotion: A few drops of lotion is usually enough to cover the affected area. Gently massage the lotion into the area until it disappears. The lotion is usually applied once daily for 3 weeks.
Shake the lotion well before applying it to the affected area.
The cream, ointment, and lotion should not be covered with a dressing that does not allow the area to breathe, such as plastic wrap or a diaper. Doing so may cause unwanted effects of the medication.
Do not let this medication get in your eyes. If contact occurs, flush with plenty of water and consult your doctor.
Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important that this medication be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store this medication at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
Who should NOT take this medication?
Do not use this medication if you:
- are allergic to betamethasone dipropionate or any ingredients of the medication
- have a skin infection caused by viruses, including herpes simplex, vaccinia, and varicella (chickenpox)
- have had an allergic reaction to other corticosteroid medications
- have tuberculosis of the skin
- have untreated infected skin lesions caused by an infection with fungi or bacteria
What side effects are possible with this medication?
Many medications can cause side effects. A side effect is an unwanted response to a medication when it is taken in normal doses. Side effects can be mild or severe, temporary or permanent.
The side effects listed below are not experienced by everyone who takes this medication. If you are concerned about side effects, discuss the risks and benefits of this medication with your doctor.
The following side effects have been reported by at least 1% of people taking this medication. Many of these side effects can be managed, and some may go away on their own over time.
Contact your doctor if you experience these side effects and they are severe or bothersome. Your pharmacist may be able to advise you on managing side effects.
- burning, dryness, irritation, itching, or redness of skin (usually mild and temporary)
- increased redness or scaling of skin sores (usually mild and temporary)
- skin rash (usually mild and temporary)
- stinging sensation when applied (lotion only)
Although most of these side effects listed below don't happen very often, they could lead to serious problems if you do not check with your doctor or seek medical attention.
Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
- increased skin sensitivity
- lack of healing of skin condition
- ongoing burning, itching and irritation of skin
- itchy rash with small, red, raised bumps
- skin discoloration
- skin infection
- "spider veins" or blood vessels visible through the skin
- thinning of skin with easy bruising
Additional side effects may occur if this medication is used improperly or for long periods of time. Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
Some people may experience side effects other than those listed. Check with your doctor if you notice any symptom that worries you while you are taking this medication.
Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?
Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Be sure to tell all health professionals involved in your care that you are using this medication.
Absorption: Topical (applied to the skin) corticosteroids such as betamethasone dipropionate are known to be absorbed into the bloodstream if used for prolonged periods of time on large areas of the body. Absorption occurs most often when the medication is covered with a bandage that doesn't breathe. This increases the risk of side effects throughout the body being caused by this medication. Therefore, it is advisable to use this medication only for brief periods and to stop using it as soon as the problem clears.
Eyes: Use this medication with caution on lesions close to the eye. Take care to ensure that it does not enter the eye, as glaucoma may result. Cataracts have been reported following internal use of corticosteroids. Report changes in your vision to your doctor as soon as possible.
Infection: Betamethasone should not be used on any infected area until the infection has cleared. Topical corticosteroids may increase the risk of developing a skin infection. If you notice any increased redness, swelling, heat, or pain around the area where the medication is applied, contact your doctor, as these are possible signs of infection.
Stopping this medication: Suddenly stopping corticosteroid medication may cause your skin condition to return. If you have been using this medication or others that are similar for a long period of time, discuss with your doctor the best way to discontinue the medication.
Thinning of skin: Using topical corticosteroid medications for a long period of time can cause skin and the tissues underneath to thin or soften, or cause stretch marks. Your doctor may recommend you stop using this medication once in a while or to apply to one area of the body at a time to give the skin a chance to strengthen. If you notice changes to the texture or colour of your skin, contact your doctor as soon as possible, as this may be a sign that the medication needs to be reduced.
Pregnancy: This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while using this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast feeding: It is not known if topical betamethasone dipropionate passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are using this medication, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children: Betamethasone dipropionate belongs to the family of medications known as corticosteroids. Children may be more likely to experience the side effects encountered by using large amounts of this class medication for long periods of time (e.g., slowing down of growth, delayed weight gain). The use of this medication by children should be limited to the smallest amount that will be effective for the shortest period of time. Discuss the risks and benefits of the use of this medication by children with your doctor.
What other drugs could interact with this medication?
There may be an interaction between betamethasone dipropionate and any of the following:
- other topical medications that contain corticosteroids
- topical medications that have irritating effects
If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:
- stop taking one of the medications,
- change one of the medications to another,
- change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
- leave everything as is.
An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.
Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) _ Gov. Rick Perry yesterday joined business leaders to protest a decision picking Kansas for a new $450 million
federal disease lab.
The Department of Homeland Security chose Kansas State University in Manhattan over a site in San Antonio.
The decision is expected to become official next week -- after a comment period.
The new lab will study livestock diseases and some of the world's most dangerous biological threats.
Perry and the Texas Bio and Agro-Defense Consortium noted that
the site selection process started in January 2006. But they're upset because DHS gave no indication until February 2008 that financial incentives -- by state and local governments -- could affect the site selection.
The Texas Legislature meets every two years and wasn't in session last year.
Other contenders included Georgia, Mississippi and North Carolina.

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
+ Super-sensitive mic picks up everything I say, even whispers and mumbles; this was the single biggest factor to my purchasing these to replace my previous headset, the Sharkoon X-tatic SP
+ Great sound, not overly "bass-y", and you can control the amount of bass with the Bass Boost dial
+ XBOX controller connection is compatible with the chat pad and all Rock Band/DJ Hero/Guitar Hero controllers without an adapter, unlike the Sharkoons
+ Extremely comfortable, even with glasses and after multiple hours of continuous use
+ While they're not noise-canceling, I'd say they cut external noise at least in half, if not more
+ Controller dongle/pod is light and well positioned
- Microphone is so sensitive it often picks up background noise
- I don't entirely like the microphone monitoring feature. I don't personally need to hear my own voice when I'm speaking, but it is a useful reminder about whether or not you have your mic muted.
- Due to the position of the mute toggle, it can be a little too easy to accidentally change the Bass Boost/Game/Chat volumes inadvertently
- Very, very slight static hiss when plugged into USB power, which is apparently systemic to USB-powered headsets. The hiss is less noticeable here than with the Sharkoons, at least
Overall, a huge improvement over my previous headset. The group of people I play with regularly noticed a big difference in audio quality and ability to hear me. Highly recommended if you need a PC and/or 360 headset.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Jason Giambi hit one of four Yankees homers and doubled twice, and Randy Johnson gave New York a much-needed long outing on short rest in a 12-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.
Alex Rodriguez, Gary Sheffield and Hideki Matsui also homered for New York.
Derek Jeter and Ruben Sierra each had three hits for the Yankees, who swept the two-game series and have won four straight to move within a half-game of second-place Baltimore in the AL East.
The Orioles have lost 11 of 13.
Starting on three days' rest in the regular season for the first time in 10 years, Johnson (8-6) retired his first 12 batters with five strikeouts before Miguel Tejada's infield single. He lasted seven innings and gave up seven hits and struck out eight without walking a batter for his 254th career win.
Rodrigo Lopez (7-5) gave up a career-high 10 runs -- five earned -- and a season-high 11 hits in three-plus innings, dropping his third straight start.

Imperfect: An Improbable Life (Paperback)
Honest, touching, and beautifully rendered . . . Far more than a book about baseball, it is a deeply felt story of triumph and failure, dreams and disappointments. Jim Abbott has hurled another gem. Jonathan Eig, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Luckiest Man"
Born without a right hand, Jim Abbott dreamed of someday being a great athlete. Raised in Flint, Michigan, by parents who encouraged him to compete, Jim would become an ace pitcher for the University of Michigan. But his journey was only beginning: By twenty-one, he d won the gold medal game at the 1988 Olympics and without spending a day in the minor leagues cracked the starting rotation of the California Angels. In 1991, he would finish third in the voting for the Cy Young Award. Two years later, he would don Yankee pinstripes and pitch one of the most dramatic no-hitters in major-league history.
In this honest and insightful book, Jim Abbott reveals the challenges he faced in becoming an elite pitcher, the insecurities he dealt with in a life spent as the different one, and the intense emotion generated by his encounters with disabled children from around the country. With a riveting pitch-by-pitch account of his no-hitter providing the ideal frame for his story, this unique athlete offers readers an extraordinary and unforgettable memoir.
Compelling . . . a] big-hearted memoir. "Los Angeles Times"
Inspirational. "The Philadelphia Inquirer"
Includes an exclusive conversation between Jim Abbott and Tim Brown in the back of the book.
About the Author

Praise For…
"Powerful."—Library Journal
"Funny, heartbreaking, and triumphant . . . Still, to label this fine book 'an inspiration' almost misses the point. Imperfect isn't about learning to cope with a disability. It's about becoming a man in America."—Mark Kriegel, author of Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich and Namath: A Biography
"Terrific . . . Imperfect can teach all of us valuable lessons."—Cal Ripken, Jr.

Chinese Activist Chen Guangcheng: 'My Suffering Was Beyond Imagination'
Guangcheng talks with Anderson Cooper.
Blind Chinese activist and new NYU student Chen Guangcheng gave his first in-depth TV interview since arriving in the U.S. to Anderson Cooper on Thursday night. Guangcheng arrived in the city about a week ago, when the U.S. and China finally brokered a deal following protracted diplomacy talks. Cooper asked Guangcheng about his brutal house arrest in China, to which Guangcheng replied, "When we talk about my situation let's not talk about house arrest but illegal detention." He continued, "It's hard for me to describe what it was like at the time, but my suffering was beyond imagination. I didn't see much hope."
It's unclear if Guangcheng, his wife, and their two children will be able to return to China after he completes his one year of legal studies. But he has family members in danger back home. Retribution against his family has continued and intensified, Guangcheng said. Cooper's interview also includes footage of Christian Bale's thwarted attempt to visit Guangcheng in China, which probably would have turned out differently had he worn his Batman gear.

Grizzly Bear: Better than Radiohead?
It speaks to the maturity of the college-age music connoisseur that Grizzly Bear could nearly sell out the 1,800-capacity Carnegie Music Hall on a Saturday night in the middle of March Madness and spring break.
The Brooklyn band is the dictionary definition of nuance, playing music best for gazing out the window on a gray day.
In a confessional mood last week, AC Newman, of The New Pornographers, tweeted that he thought Grizzly Bear was better than Radiohead, which Grizzly Bear toured with in 2008. That's a big claim for a little tweet.
Having seen Grizzly Bear, there's no way I'm going there. Grizzly Bear doesn't have the rhythmic overdrive or the Yorke-ian emotional punch of the British art-rockers, but its certainly in the sonic ballpark.
The Brooklyn darlings put more emphasis on the shimmering group vocals, shared between the frontline of lead singer Ed Droste, guitarist Daniel Rossen (who took several leads) and bassist Chris Taylor. You could put them in a harmony showdown with CSN, Fleet Foxes and My Morning Jacket and there's no telling what would happen.
The dreamy vocals came to the fore on songs like "Lullabye," "Shift" and "Foreground," while their rhythmic muscle was flexed on noisy psych-rock songs such as "Yet Again," "Ready, Able" and "Two Weeks." The new album, "Shields," brought some of the strongest pieces, including dashing openers "Speak in Rounds" and "Sleeping Ute."
Grizzly Bear isn't much to look at visually. They played in shadowy lighting, with ghostly luminaria behind them, and Droste is a largely internal frontman who doesn't stray from his electronic keyboard.
With opener Owen Pallett, who returned to play violin on "What's Wrong," it was a show that stood out more for its subtle virtuosity than its rock energy.

NYPD to Launch 'All-Seeing' 'Domain Awareness System'
Made in partnership with Microsoft.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly announced at a security forum in Aspen, Colorado, on Saturday that Mayor Bloomberg will soon unveil the city's "Domain Awareness System," which the Associated Press describes as an "all-seeing" program that combines several streams of information to track criminals and potential terrorists. It's not clear yet if the Big Brother–y sounding system will change the way the department already surveils civilians or criminals, or Muslims in New Jersey, but Kelly said at the forum that the program combines citywide video surveillance with law enforcement databases. The city made the software in partnership with Microsoft; however, Office Anti-Terrorist Edition will not be sold publicly.

I have 2.6 installed OK, I did it manually, file by file, carefully (yeah, that took a day). this is my second WP install, using bluehost. I have a WP 2.5 blog in my account too, in another directory.
Everything seems to be working fine with this 2.6 install for a new blog of mine. But when I go to add a category in the wp-admin page, the "add category" link doesn't even work. I've tried this using different themes and on different computers.
Is there something in the wp-admin.php file that I should be correcting or looking for? someone mentioned something about adding an .htaccess file to their wp-admin folder.... what is that, and would that help?
thanks for any help... I know it's a small bug but I don't really want to be adding more content yet until I can fix it.

England Routs India to Move Closer to Top Cricket Test Ranking
England secured the two-match lead it needs to take cricket's No. 1 Test ranking with a 319-run rout of an Indian team that had twice been in potentially game-winning positions.
After England racked up 544 to set India 478 for the victory yesterday, Tim Bresnan took 5-48 to help skittle the touring team for 158 on day four at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
"It was an outstanding performance," England captain Andrew Strauss said in a news conference. "We had to dig very deep; we were twice in a position where India looked very much like favorites to win the game, and we dragged it round."
England rallied from 88-6 to post 221 after being sent in to bat on day one, and then took India's last six wickets for 21 runs to trail by 67 runs on the first innings. Third-ranked England, which won the series opener by 196 runs, can overtake India atop the International Cricket Council's rankings by winning the best-of-four contest by two Tests or more.
England's lower-order batsman, led by Bresnan's 90 from 118 balls, added 103 runs to the second-innings total in yesterday's first session to put their team 477 runs ahead.
Stuart Broad and James Anderson dismissed Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman to leave India at 13-2. Bresnan, playing in place of the injured Chris Tremlett, then took his first five-wicket haul, including a mid-afternoon spell of 4-12, in elite Tests.
Anderson claimed 3-51, while Broad took 2-30 to finish with eight wickets along with his 108 runs. His all-round performance earned him the man-of-the-match award.
'Good Fight'
"Whoever we're playing against we'll always put up a good fight and look to grab the game by the scruff of the neck when that opportunity comes," Broad told reporters. "We've done that particularly well in these two Test matches."
Of India's top seven batsman, only Sachin Tendulkar reached double figures yesterday with 56. Harbhajan Singh (46) and Praveen Kumar (25) were the only other batsman to score more than eight runs as India slumped to its heaviest runs defeat against England.
"In a situation like this what you want to do is be at your best as a team but we have not been really able to do that," said India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. "That's the major difference between the two sides. We have some time to regroup, so hopefully we'll be at our best for the next Test."
India, which has eight days to reorganize before the series resumes at Edgbaston in Birmingham, hasn't scored more than 300 in any of its innings in the first two matches.
Sehwag Boost
Dhoni said opening batsman Virender Sehwag, who hasn't played since having shoulder surgery in May, will join the squad before India's two-day tour match against English county team Nottinghamshire, which starts Aug. 5.
"We'll see how he goes in the practice game," Dhoni said. "Hopefully he can come and give the strength that is needed. We all know what Virender Sehwag is capable of."
Strauss, meantime, is already focused on the opening session at Edgbaston after England won two Tests in a home series against India for the first time since 1974.
Another victory, or two draws in the final two matches, will take Strauss's team atop the Test rankings for the first time since they were introduced in 2003. England is a 1-7 chance to be ranked No. 1 at the end of the series, according to U.K. bookmaker William Hill Plc.
"All we're looking to do is turn up at Edgbaston and try and win that Test match," Strauss added. "We've had to work very hard for these two wins and we don't expect anything different in the next game."

All of us here at Free/Man are pretty big fans of typography, so this documentary from renowned filmmaker Gary Hustwit is one we've enjoyed very much.
I was inspired by the new Hunter Khaki Chinos from Apolis and how well they work with navy, red and grey.
Apolis continues to produce clothing that speaks to a wide demographic of mens style, while remaining true to their core values as a brand.
It's not easy finding a good quality orange scarf. Not that too many people are looking but for those that are, they understand it's a difficult ask..

The Tiruppavai is a collection of thirty stanzas (paasuram) in Tamil written by Andal, in praise of the Lord Vishnu,. It is part of Divya Prabandha, a work of the twelve Alvars, and is important in Tamil literature. Tiruppavai belongs to the Pavai genre of songs, a unique Tamil tradition sung in the context of the Pavai vow observed throughout the month of Margazhi, originally by unmarried girls praying to the Pavai goddess for a blissful married life. Sri Vaishnavas sing these stanzas every day of the year in the temple as well as in their homes. This practice assumes special significance during Margazhi: each day of this month gets its name from one of the thirty verses. There are references to this vow in the late-sangam era Tamil musical anthology Paripadal.More

Brothers accused in assault, robbery
BARRE Police are looking for one of two brothers allegedly involved in an armed robbery in Barre on July 13.
Police say David J. Garneau, 33, of Barre, and Jonathan M. Garneau, 30, of Williamstown, went into the residence of Nathan Lucier on Brook Street looking for money. Police say Jonathan Garneau took a silver and brass pistol and used it to pistol whip Lucier. Police say David Garneau also started punching Lucier.
After beating him, police say, the Garneaus sat Lucier on his bed and demanded money. Lucier told police David Garneau then went to a dresser drawer and took out $1,185 in cash. The brothers then threatened Lucier that they would finish the job if he went to the police and threatened to shoot his dog before they left, according to police.
Police say the brothers left in a red Saturn Vue with Vermont plates and a gold star on the plate.
Arrest warrants were issued for both brothers. Police say David Garneau has since been arrested on the warrant but that Jonathan Garneau is still at large and considered armed and dangerous.MORE IN This Just In

Rampaging driver takes a ride inside GA mall
Road rage hits the shopping mall. Augusta police have one Stephen Scott Lowe in custody following a pursuit through the Augusta Mall in Georgia. Apparently Lowe drove his SUV through some locked doors at one end of the mall, and in his best Blues Brothers impression had police pursuing him as he drove along the second floor. After breaking through another set of doors leading into the food court area, he was boxed in by officers and had a brief altercation with them before being subdued with pepper spray and a well-placed baton. The 47-year old suspect was arrested and charged with criminal damage to property in the first degree, felony obstruction of a law enforcement officer and driving under the influence. Under the influence of what remains to be seen. No word yet on why he hated the mall so much or what the voices in his head had told him to buy at that late hour. Perhaps someone in the food court had cut him off or stole his parking space.

Hardywood Smoked Doppelbock is malt forward with a balanced smokiness and a radiant mahogany hue.
Pulled pork BBQ, buttery cheeses, and anything off the backyard grill.

Brewed with heaps of chocolate malt, cacao nibs, and local, late season red raspberries from Agriberry Farm, Hardywood Raspberry Stout captures the essence of a decadent raspberry truffle in liquid
Chocolate, coffee or cream based desserts.
Refreshingly light in body, yet full in flavor, Hardywood Saison Rustica combines the best of both worlds for a warm weather beer like no other.
Best with hard cheeses, steamed crustaceans and mollusks and blackened fish.
Luscious yet piquant, sultry yet fiery, Hardywood Chocolate Heat melds the dichotomy of semi-sweet chocolate and hot chile peppers into one insatiably seductive libation.
Chocolate Heat has sufficient sweetness and spice to pair beautifully with savory Mexican or Caribbean fare, spicy cheeses such as pepper jack, or creamy desserts like vanilla gelato or flan.
Our quest to brew the quintessential coffee beer began over a cupping with the coffee gurus from Richmond's Lamplighter Roasting Company.
Hardywood Sidamo Coffee Stout pairs masterfully with pastries, with spiced doughnuts and with all manner of sweet cakes. The roast chocolate character in Sidamo Coffee Stout embraces sweet cream- or chocolate-based desserts, while the beer's pleasant city roast coffee bitterness provides a harmonious contrast.
A Belgian wheat beer brewed with a touch of rye and a massive addition (over 1,000 lbs.
Hardywood Virginia Blackberry makes a great pairing with summer salads, particularly a caprese salad with balsamic. Soft, spreadable cheeses such as camembert, goat cheese or Neufchâtel offer a pleasant contrast with the almost wine-like fruit character of Virginia Blackberry.

Hardywood Virginia Strawberry beautifully complements fresh salads with walnuts or berries and vinaigrette or citrus based dressing. Soft, spreadable cheeses like brie make a great pairing as well. While Virginia Strawberry is adept in pairing with lighter fare, it also works well with fluffy desserts or pastries. Try it with an Eton Mess, banana and Nutella crepes, or strawberry shortcake.
Hardywood Hoplar follows the wood-aging tradition of the earliest India Pale Ales, which were matured on oak.
Hardywood Hoplar is exceptional with smoked or grilled meats, particularly those spiced with a dry rub or marinade, and is well-suited with braised short ribs, pulled pork barbecue, beef tenderloin or a thick cut steak. Hoplar also complements a range of spices employed in many Asian dishes.

Morrisville provided me with a sound foundation necessary to become the young professional I am today. Specifically, the technical skill set I learned through the dedicated faculty placed me in advanced courses upon graduation, positioning me further ahead of my peers. Not only was I thoroughly introduced to the importance of design within the profession of architecture and its allied fields, but Morrisville also provided me a platform to excel within the public service and leadership sector of the profession. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend, embrace, and excel as a Mustang during my tenure at MSC.

My ideal battle ever!
The ending may be canon in that regard, just without the hand-holding.
If it is I'll be pissed. Burgundy and Georgia are literally unfinished characters.
Unfortunately it seems very likely they won't return, hence why the ending was used showing that they missed the opportunity to say goodbye and settle all of their differences.
They definitely could return, but the ending implies they won't, and i'm inclined to believe that the ending was purposely done to show that they're all going to move on.

If they didn't show them at all the gates are left open, but the writers purposely showed them all hear about the news, and all of them accepted the news and just carried on with what they were doing.
Of course, as i said before they can definetly still return, but yeah i don't think it's happening nor do I think it's likely.
As far as I can tell, queen Bianca and my big sis Burgundy are done. They deserved some closure but now it seems way too late and the writers probably won't be bothered to bring them back since they're focusing more on fan service instead of character development that characters like Bianca and Burgundy so desperately need. My heart weeps for those girls.
I don't get why people would think bianca would ever show up anytime after BW. She basically is literally a female barry, and he obviously never showed up again.
Burgundy and georgia deserved so much better though, and they were probably my two favorite characters in the saga, along with cilan.
I hope we get the Butterfree title this week, so we can at least know we don't have to wait until July or August to see it.
I would like to see the butterfree episode sooner better than later. I would love to see Pidgeot again too.

That's because the writers wrote a tournament in which Georgia, Iris, Cilan, and Burgundy couldn't compete in. For some reason they couldn't set aside 2 episodes to "settle" the rivalries. The only reason Trip looks like he had a "proper" sendoff is because the others didn't have anything at all. Stephan was like Morrison in the way that only a battle in the league was a proper sendoff. While with Trip they condensed everything and cut corners. And for some reason Bianca isn't treated as a rival, besides her first few episodes

I always felt like Burgundy was the new comic relief after TR's gotten serious. She had the same outbursts as Jessie and she even blasted off. Now TR's gotten 'funny' again so Burgundy can get serious now and win something imo.
- Detective Cilan
- Oshawott vs. Dewott
- Zoroark
- Oak and Rotom
I think that for some reason we'll get the Beheeyem episode first..

"If I had my way in DP, Ash would've hit the league with: Pikachu, Ambipom (his to keep), Torterra (Grass/Starter), Lucario (Ace), Chingling (Cute), Bidoof (Water-type) and Heatran (Fire-type)."
Spoiler:- GenVII Starter names speculation:
I don't have any confirmation on their designs or what not, but these just came to me, and I want to get credit for if they turn out true. Dated 1:54am on 6-6-16:
- Rowlet: Arrowl
- Litten: Burstiger
- Popplio: Bubblaid
The second line is meant to be sarcastic.. Though there was a random trainer with a Heatran at the Sinnoh League..
Hopefully with Butterfree merchandise or w/e being set for June as well, means we will get it's episode before the movie. I assume the Beeheeyem will be the next episode on the 13th, after the Croconaw one...so I hope that Butterfree has the 20th slot.

It's sad, but I really don't think we'll be seeing Boldore, Palpitoad, or Leavanny in the Da! arc except for the possible lab episode. I can see Unfezant being used for flying and Krookodile as Ash just loves to use it. I have no hope for the other three, though. :I

Power Finance: Outstanding Overseas Debt At $1.1 Bln
By Saurabh Chaturvedi of Dow Jones Newswires
NEW DELHI – India's Power Finance Corp. expects to report notional foreign-exchange losses for the third quarter through December and the current financial year on account of falling local currency, its chairman said Wednesday.
The state-run lender to power projects has outstanding overseas debt of nearly $1.1 billion, of which about $935 million is unhedged, Satnam Singh told reporters.
The U.S. dollar has risen more than 20% against the rupee so far this fiscal year, hurting Indian companies' foreign currency exposure.
Mr. Singh also said that Power Finance is planning to launch an equity fund equivalent to $1 billion, aimed at making investments in power sector-related ventures. The company is scouting for local partners for the fund, he added.

Tisme, I made this for lunch today... what a wonderful chicken salad! I love the addition of the fresh lemon zest. Only had one Meyer lemon so there wasn't much peel, I added just a tiny bit of the fresh lemon juice to the chicken because I was a tad short on the peel. My one daughter came to the table for lunch and tried a single one of the finger sandwiches...she said "These are really good. Before I came to the table, I told myself that I was going to be kind and not say anything bad about lunch...it's a good thing I didn't, because I would have had to eat my words too!". She is not a big fan of chicken or any bread other then homemade, so for her to enjoy this sandwich says a lot. Made and Reviewed for April 2012 AUS/NZ Recipe Swap.
I used some left over roasted chicken and scaled back for 2 sandwiches and had enough filling for 3 so we had 1 1/2 each and thoroughly enjoyed the crunch of the celery and toasted pinenuts and the zing of the lemon in these delightful morsels. Thank you Tisme, made for Make My Recipe.

Wozniacki eases into 2nd round at Australian Open
MELBOURNE, Australia Top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki made light of concerns over a wrist injury to beat Anastasia Rodionova of Australia 6-2, 6-1 in the first round of the Australian Open on Monday.

Oculus Deal Panned by Gamers Lamenting Facebook Takeover
Oculus VR Inc. co-founder Palmer Luckey called Facebook Inc.'s $2 billion purchase of his virtual-reality headset company a move that will help transform industries. Some fans weren't so upbeat.
Across Twitter, video-game websites and Oculus's own blog, players and developers panned the company's decision to sell for least $400 million in cash and 23.1 million shares of Facebook. One was an investor in the company's Kickstarter fundraising campaign and said he was betrayed.
Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg and Luckey said yesterday that joining forces will push virtual reality into the mainstream. The feedback suggests they'll have to convince game developers that Oculus will still be a great place for their titles after the deal is done, particularly among those counting on working with a smaller, startup-stage company.
"Good job pulling one over on us Oculus," wrote Caleb Benningfield, who identified himself as a software developer at the health-care company IMS Health/Appature, in comments on the Oculus blog where the deal was announced.
Swedish game programmer Markus Persson, who created the popular block-building and busting title "Minecraft" for personal computers and mobile devices, voiced his displeasure in a post on his Twitter feed.
Canceled Deal
"We were in talks about maybe bringing a version of Minecraft to Oculus," Persson said. "I just canceled that deal. Facebook creeps me out."
A spokeswoman for Facebook, based in Menlo Park, California, didn't return a call seeking comment.
Luckey sought to reassure Oculus's fans in a series of posts on social networking site Reddit. The startup will work independently of Facebook, have cash to bring down the cost of making the hardware and "make huge investments in content," he said.
"I won't change, and any change at Oculus will be for the better," he said. "A lot of people are upset, and I get that. If you feel the same way a year from now, I would be very surprised."
Oculus, based in Irvine, California, unveiled its first headset in June 2012. The stridency of some comments may be tied to the $2.44 million the company raised from gamers and virtual-reality enthusiasts on the crowd-funding site Kickstarter in August of that year. In all, the company has attracted more than $91 million.
'Ten Grand'
"I did not chip in ten grand to see a first investment round to build value for a Facebook acquisition," said Persson, who calls himself "Notch," in a later posting. "I definitely want to be part of VR, but I will not work with Facebook."
The company recently began selling an updated version of the Oculus Rift headset to developers for $350 and demonstrated the technology last week at the Game Developers Conference.
After years of discussion about the merits of virtual reality, the topic has moved to the fore with the development of small, inexpensive sensors that track a user's movements.
The gear also has enough processing power to place a viewer or player in a virtual situation with little of the lag that has caused widespread nausea in earlier attempts.
Oculus "just seemed like an escape from monster corporation crap and Facebook 'likes' and 'Candy Crushes,'" Jared Cate, a software engineer who works for San Francisco-based game developer TinyCo, said in an interview.
Virtual Reality
The negative commentary, if it turns into something more, could help Sony Corp. in its efforts to develop a virtual-reality headset for the PlayStation 4 console. The Tokyo-based company last week began demonstrating games for its Project Morpheus gear.
Sony declined to comment on the Oculus acquisition, according to a spokeswoman.
Video-game industry stalwarts could change their minds if the deal advances virtual-reality technology, according to Bertrand Schmitt, CEO of game-industry tracking company App Annie Ltd.
"Gaming technology pushed the boundaries of where things are going, and a game-focused company like Oculus represents a stepping stone towards a broader application of virtual reality," Schmitt said by e-mail.

That vs. Which
A tiny grammar lesson to punctuate your day…
Proper use of that and which:
Both that and which function as relative pronouns but they are not always interchangeable. In American English that is used restrictively to narrow a category or identify a specific subject: With a style that is seductive and inimitable… while which is usually used nonrestrictivelyit doesn't narrow a category or point to a specific subject but instead it adds something about a subject already introduced: Art is his means of awakening from the nightmare of history, which is a strategy common to Germans of his generation.
Note that which (and the clause that follows it) is almost always preceded by a comma (or set off inside parentheses or with emdashes) while that doesn't need the comma.
Which can be used restrictively, but then it must be preceded by a preposition, as in The room in which he cooked the cat….
Thank you for thinking about your language.
