Barnes and Noble Inc. saw a sharp decline in holiday sales in its Nook e-reader division, even as its retail segment showed small improvement.
Michael Huseby was named CEO at Barnes and Noble after previously serving briefly as the retailer's CFO and then president.
Barnes and Noble continues to narrow its losses. In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the company's comparable sales were bolstered by improving physical book industry trends, merchandising initiatives and store promotions.

AUSTIN (July 16, 2014) A body that was found in a cornfield has been identified as that of a missing elderly Texas man who was the focus of a Silver Alert after he walked off from his family's home.
The Silver Alert was issued Sunday for Antonio Barboa Perea, 87, who was last seen early Sunday morning.
Perea had been diagnosed with dementia and was believed to be on foot, the alert said.
Searchers found the body Monday in an area where the search for the missing man was concentrated.
Autopsy results were pending Wednesday, but there was no evidence of foul play, the Travis County Sheriff's Office said.

Terry Moore continues to pile on the mysteries and body count in his latest comic âRachel Rising,â a dark horror-based story following a woman who may or may not be dead.
In this issue, Rachel spends some time with her Aunt Johnny, her best friend Jet, and Dr. Siemen, who has been invited to dinner because he signed the papers that got Rachel out of the morgue. Siemen is also the only person with an actual theory on Rachel: sheâs no longer Rachel but Ma Malai, a.k.a. The Angel of Death. Meanwhile, Zoe, the young girl who killed her sister and buried her in the same dry riverbed where Rachel woke up days ago, has been checked into a hospital and then assigned to a foster family with evil intentions.
On the whole, Moore is doing some exceptionally satisfying decompressed storytelling with âRachel Rising.â While the story has moved more slowly than some readers might like, the reality is that five issues in thereâs been a ton of compelling action, and some great character development. We just also happen to have a lot of mysteries unresolved and new ones being teased every issue. But unlike some stories that feel like theyâre presenting new mysteries because they donât have the answers to old ones, Mooreâs story feels like it knows exactly where itâs going.
Of course Mooreâs art is as stunning and well constructed as ever. His storytelling is clean and effortless; his characters are interesting and full of expression. Thereâs always a wonderful confidence and attention to detail in Mooreâs artwork, but I find his work here particularly smart when it comes to the little details like the flies that are dying against the window in Rachelâs room, or the fact that you can see Jetâs breath but not Rachelâs when they are outside in the cold. Itâs all very well considered.
Unfortunately, the part of the story that deals with Zoe and the foster parent is a bit of a cliché and feels unrealistic as executed. Moore does nicely subvert the storyline by showing us that the little girl is well able to handle herself, but the foster parentâs actions come off as unbelievable.
âRachel Risingâ is chock full of decadent mystery, unspeakable horror, strong characters, and beautiful black and white artwork, and itâs on its way to becoming the best of Terry Mooreâs already impressive work.

Awesome, can't wait for a longer trailer/the actual film. If it stays true …
Comment on Berserk III "18+" Demon Rape Anime by cats2:
Awesome, can't wait for a longer trailer/the actual film.
If it stays true to the manga to the point of the insertion in front of Gut's then you would really have to give them accolades.
Recent comments by cats2:
- Corpse Party: Blood Drive Announced For The West:
I liked the psp corpse party games, to the point I played through that piece of garbage dead patient, and this which isn't much better.. It's kind of sad…
- Unlimited Blade Works, Unlimited Guro Works Too:
To the people that enjoy fate it probably is.. Much like whatever: "I'm going to share my mana with you Shirou, let's hug" instead of fucking her the next episode will do…
- Taimanin Yukikaze 2 "Yukikaze Victimized Yet Again!":
Tatsurou's still a generic douche you don't care about, and the Taimanin still turn into ahego spouting cock craved whores after getting fucked. The only mystery is why it got delayed 4 or 5 times…
- Corpse Party Live Action Movie Due:
Yeah, but they're big on doing campy low budget as fuck live action shit instead of anything original to be fair..
- Kantai Collection Arcade Game Surfaces:
I can understand how stuff like Taimanin Arena does it with hentai from popular artists so often, but I still wonder what the draw is for the other ones..

Released: Feb 01st, 1999
Running Time: 71
Director: Robert Prion
Company: Video 10
Cast: Vincent DeMarco, Jason Nikas, Chett Addams, Rodd Champion, Jack Tower, Dillon Young, Rob Walker, Storm (IV), Jay Richards, Kevin Alexander
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Champion\'s hard-on displayed on the box makes for an easy sell.
Director Prion leads with his best shot, newcomer Rodd Champion, whose sleek, muscular physique is the sole image on all four sides of the box. Jacking off atop a swimming pool waterfall, Champion looks like a blond Greek god. Veteran bottom Storm drops to his knees in worship, then eagerly follows Champion into the bedroom.
The action heads steadily downhill after that, with the usual Prion hallmarks: nonstop sex with no plot, featuring guys with average to above-average looks and zero attitude. Once again, Prion stalwart Jay Richards is on hand, forever the man among the boys. And as usual, the setting is a suburban house with way-tacky furnishings that any West Coast videomaker would have given to Goodwill years ago.

Hi Bill,
It looks like the widget lists the subpages alphabetically. Is there a way to have it list them using the order I've assigned each page instead?
Hi Bill,
It looks like the widget lists the subpages alphabetically. Is there a way to have it list them using the order I've assigned each page instead?
Try adding this to your theme's functions.php file: https://gist.github.com/2779046
Excellent! Thanks so much for your help!
Hi, ik just placed the code into the functions.php but no results yet.
Is there anything else i have to do in my theme files to get this function working?
Maybe add some code in my page template were i use this now:
[ Moderator Note: Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button. ]
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-pages') ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Maybe its an idea to implement this function in the widget itself to make it more monkey proof? Like being able to choose your listing: alphabetical, on date or like the menu.
Hope to hear from you.
In the next version (which you can download here: https://github.com/billerickson/BE-Subpages-Widget ) the pages will automatically be ordered by menu order. If you want to order them by any other means, you can use the code I linked to above.
I would need to see the code of your functions.php file (after adding the code) to determine what issue you're having. You can post it on pastie.org and link back here.
Bill - installed the pending release version above.
The first level pages follow menu order as expected HOWEVER their child pages are still listing alphabetically rather than in menu order.
Is there a quick fix for this - ie so all pages and their children are listed in menu order? I ask because I really want to standardise on this plugin for a lot of sites and I'm launching one as we speak.
Many thanks.

Asthma Health Center
Treating Asthma in Children
In this article
The Five Parts to an Asthma Treatment Plan
Step 1 -- Identifying and Controlling Asthma Triggers
Children with asthma have different sets of triggers. Triggers are the factors that irritate the airways and cause asthma symptoms. Triggers can change seasonally and as a child grows older. Some common triggers are cigarette smoke, allergens like dust, dust mites, and pet dander, viral infections, irritants like strong perfumes, exercise, breathing cold air, and weather changes.
Identifying triggers and symptoms can take time. Keep a record of when symptoms occur and how long they last. Once patterns are discovered, some of the triggers can be avoided through environmental control measures, which are steps to reduce exposure to a child's allergy triggers. Talk with your doctor about starting with environmental control measures that will limit those allergens and irritants causing immediate problems for a child. Remember that allergies develop over time with continued exposure to allergens, so a child's asthma triggers may change over time.
Others who provide care for your child, such as babysitters, day care providers, or teachers must be informed and knowledgeable regarding your child's asthma treatment plan. Many schools have initiated programs for their staff to be educated about asthma and recognize severe asthma symptoms.
The following are suggested environmental control measures for different allergens and irritants:
Indoor controls
To control dust mites:
- Use only polyester-filled pillows and comforters (never feather or down). Use mite-proof covers (available at allergy supply stores) over pillows and mattresses. Keep covers clean by vacuuming or wiping them down once a week.
- Wash your child's sheets and blankets once a week in very hot water (130 degrees or higher) to kill dust mites.
- Keep upholstered furniture, window mini-blinds, and carpeting out of a child's bedroom and playroom because they can collect dust and dust mites (especially carpets). Use washable throw rugs and curtains and wash them in hot water weekly. Vinyl window shades that can be wiped down can also be used.
- Dust and vacuum weekly. If possible, use a vacuum specially designed to collect and trap dust mites (with a HEPA filter).
- Reduce the number of dust-collecting house plants, books, knickknacks, and non washable stuffed animals in your home.
- Avoid humidifiers when possible, because moist air promotes dust mite infestation and mold growth.

Learn to program in Python, a language that is easy to learn and capable enough for writing complex programs.
Programming is one of the key components in the technology in our lives today. From things like video games to even the computer on which you are reading this, programs are needed to make them operate. And if you want to learn how to program, this tutorial is where to start.
In this tutorial, you will learn about the programming language Python (yes, that is the name of a snake, but in this case the language was named after the television show Monty Python). Python is a great language to start with because of the ease with which you can write programs. Python doesn't require a huge structure of classes and methods to get your program running. However, for those of you who are advanced in programming, Python is optionally object-oriented. This makes it quick and simple to write programs when simplicity is needed, while using the same language you can create advanced programs with multiple classes and methods.
Note: since Python version 3, print can be used without parentheses around what you want to print. If you are using a later version, or are experiencing problems trying to use this newer version, just use print("Text goes here").

Adam Scott: "Parks and Rec" is not going on hiatus
An article reporting that "Parks and Recreation" is going on hiatus is misleading, says Scott on Twitter. Despite NBC delaying three episodes, he tweets, we'll "still air the same amount of episodes before Xmas as last year, & weren't scheduled to air new eps in Dec anyway ... and Parks will be back with Community in a regular time slot at the beginning of Jan." Last fall, "Parks and Rec" aired nine episodes and is scheduled to air nine this fall.

The international oil shipping services provider, which paid Bretta Tanker Holdings $15.1 million in the second quarter of 2016, saw profits for the first half of 2016 slip 11.3 percent year-over-year to $153.7 million.
The Port of New York and New Jersey, which experienced the second busiest June ever for box volumes, was called by a 10,077-TEU containership at the GCT Bayonne Terminal.
The U.S. gross domestic product increased 1.2 percent in the second quarter of 2016, according to the "advance" estimate from the Department of Commerce, following a revised increase of just 0.8 percent in the first quarter.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The International Monetary Fund is forecasting the global economy to increase at a 3.1 percent pace in 2016 and 3.4 percent in 2017, both down 0.1 percentage points from previous projections, following the UK's surprise vote last month to leave the EU.
Hong Kong handled 1.61 million TEUs of containerized cargo for the month and 9.16 million TEUs in the first six months of 2016, year-over-year declines of 8.6 percent and 10.5 percent, respectively, according to recent data from the port.
Shipment volumes and expenditures both increased compared with the previous month after three months of lackluster performance, but still remained well below 2015 levels, according to the latest Cass Freight Index Report.

Epidural Stimulation
Read - The Lancet (pdf) article
Watch - Rob Summers on BroadCause.com
What is epidural stimulation?
Epidural Stimulation is a method of stimulation that encourages the body to use its inherent nerve pathways to transfer an electrical current from an implanted electrode array to the targeted muscle(s). This electrode array is surgically implanted along the relevant section of spinal cord. The electrical current from the array "awakens" the circuitry in the spinal column, enabling the body to acknowledge and possibly respond to sensory input that it was previously disregarding.
Epidural Stimulation is, at a glance, similar to Functional Electrical Stimulation in that it uses electrical current to stimulate muscle activity. In Functional Electrical Stimulation, an electrode is placed on top of the skin so that an electrical current can be transferred from the electrode through the skin to activate a targeted muscle.
Who is eligible for the epidural stimulation study?
At this time the Epidural Stimulation study has approval for five participants. Three participants have already been selected. In general, participants may be considered for the epidural stimulation study if a spinal cord injury has rendered them unable to walk, stand, or move their legs. After an initial screening, individuals will be asked to complete 80 Locomotor Training sessions. Upon completion of the Locomotor Training further evaluation will establish what individuals are suitable for the epidural stimulation study.
We proudly published initial findings from our Epidural Stimulation research May 20, 2011 in the The Lancet.
How can I be considered for Human Locomotion research studies? Are you interested in becoming a research participant at Frazier Rehab Institute's Human Locomotion Research Center? All interested parties should submit this research inquiry and designate your area of interest as research at the bottom of the form. The information you provide will be added to our potential participant database and will give our organization a clear picture of those parties with interest in our research programs. If you are eligible for any of our research studies, you will be contacted by our research staff.

This study's multilevel statistical models quantify the effects of civilization zones and instrumental factors on the capacities for human agency that a country provides its citizens. These capacities are measured by the UN's human development index, which synthesizes measures of literacy, longevity, and income. Indicators of political democracy, slavery, national debt, corruption, and internal conflict gauge the instrumental factors. Political freedom and emancipative employment coupled with civil order account for the regional differences in human development scores; civilization zones, heavily indebted poor countries, and corruption influence the variability among countries within the regions.

Second suspect in Wednesday's chase charged with robbery
Published: Thursday, January 30, 2014 at 11:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 30, 2014 at 11:00 a.m.
A 30-year-old Spartanburg woman taken into custody Wednesday afternoon along with a man suspected of robbing several businesses has been charged with strong arm robbery.
Deputies found Jami Lynn Brown, of 551 N. Fairview Ave., at the Brookwood Inn with Christopher Blake Webb. Webb, who is accused of leading Spartanburg County deputies on a chase earlier in the day, was found hiding under a sink in a room at the hotel, which is off Business 85.
Webb is suspected of robbing several convenience stores in and near Spartanburg, authorities said.
According to a statement from the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office, investigators plan to file additional charges against Webb and Brown on Thursday.

This is bugfix release:
- Fixed building libcds with boost versions before 1.48. Thanks Lucas Larsch who points me to this problem.
Added: StripedSet, StripedMap - hash set and hash map implementation based on fine-grained lock-striping technique
Added: CuckooSet, CuckooMap - implementation of cuckoo hashing algorithm based on fine-grained lock-striping technique
Added: SkipListSet, SkipListMap - implementation of lock-free skip list
Added: template <typename... Args=""> emplace(Args&&... args) member function for all containers in cds::container namespace. This function is available only if the compiler supports new C++11 features - variadic templates and move semantics.... read more
1. Add: MichaelDeque - deque lock-free algo discovered by Maged Michael
2. Add: BasketQueue - Michael's queue modification discovered by Nir Shavit et al.
3. Add: support of Clang 3.0, 3.1 compiler for amd64, x86 (tested on Linux with boost 1.49)
4. Fixed: solving problem of 8-byte atomic data alignment on 32-bit platforms
5. Fixed bug 3536393: OptimisticQueue core dump
General release
1. Added: C++11 atomic operations support. The library has been rewritten for using std::atomic class and operations proposed in C++11 Standard. If the compiler does not support the standard <atomic> library, own partial implementation declared in cds/cxx11_atomic.h is used. cxx11_atomic.h contains implementation for lock-free part of C++11 <atomic> header needed for libcds.
2. Added: support for C++11 feature (if applicable):
- inline namespace (for GCC 4.4+)
- function =default and =delete specifiers (for GCC 4.4+)
3. Changed: the main reclamation cycle ("liberate" function) of cds::gc::PTB memory reclamation schema has been optimized. Previous implementation could lead to unbounded memory consumption under high contention.
4. Changed: the internal structure of cds::intrusive::OptimisticQueue is greatly simplified. The interface of the class is slightly changed.
5. Fixed: some problem with cds::gc::HRC memory reclamation schema that could be the cause of occasional program crash.
6. Fixed: an error in node reclamation algo in queue implementation (MSQueue, MoirQueue, OptimisticQueue). As an result of the error, some items could be lost with memory leaks.
7. Changed: cds::concept namespace and its content has been removed
8. Added support for Microsoft Visual C++ 11 Beta
9. Added support for GCC 4.7
This version is completely rewritten to support intrusive version of lock-free containers
and more lightweight garbage collectors interface.
The class hierarchy and interfaces have been completely reimplemented from scratch.
1. Added: intrusive containers. Many lock-free containers in libcds have the intrusive
counterparts. The library is fully refactored to support intrusive containers.
Class hierarchy is changed: almost all non-intrusive container classes are based
on their intrusive versions.
Two new namespace is added:
cds::intrusive - for intrusive containers
cds::container - for non-intrusive containers
Namespaces by container type (cds::queue, cds::map and so on) have been removed.
2. Added: New option-based approach is used for class declaration instead
old traits-based one. This approach allows to declare template arguments
in position-independent manner that is very useful for complex template declarations.
Option-based declarations use C++0x variadic templates if compiler supports it (GCC),
otherwise (MS VC) an emulation is used.
3. Changed: garbage collectors interface is generalized. cds::gc::GC (where GC is
one of HP, HRC, PTB) classes has been added.
4. Removed: tagged pointer GC. This GC
- unsafe for complex data structure
- x86-specific since it requires double-width CAS primitive
- memory-consuming since it requires separate free-list for each type stored in the containers
5. Default threading model is changed (see doc for cds::threading namespace):
- for Windows and MSVC++, CDS_THREADING_WIN_TLS is the default now
- for *nix and GCC, CDS_THREADING_PTHREAD is the default now
6. Added GCC 4.6 support (constexpr)
7. Added Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (vc10) solution
This is general release. New features:
1. Added: cds::Initialize and cds::Terminate functions that initializes and frees library's internal structures.
2. Added: cds::memory::michael::Heap - Michael's lock-free allocator
3. Added: Exponential back-off strategy for spinning
4. Added: cds::queue::vyukov_mpmc_bounded - bounded queue
developed by Dmitry Vyukov (http://www.1024cores.net)
5. Added: support for FreeBSD amd64, x86
This is bug-fix release.
1. [Bug 3157201] Added implementation of threading manager based on Windows TLS API, see cds::threading::wintls::Manager. Added CDS_THREADING_WIN_TLS macro. See docs for cds::threading namespace for details.
2. Fixed bug in cds::threading::pthread::Manager: ptb_gc has not been initialized properly.
3. New function
template <typename T, typename FUNC>
bool erase( const key_type& key, T& dest, FUNC func ) ;
has been added to all map classes.... read more
This is bug-fix release
1. [Bug 3130852] cds::queue::TZCyclicQueue::empty() has been corrected
2. [Bug 3128161] It seems, GCC 4.4 has a bug in __thread on x86 and x86_64. New "threading model"
CDS_THREADING_AUTODETECT has been added. See docs of cds::threading namespace for details
3. Fixed errors in the "Pass-the-Buck" garbage collector (namespace cds::gc::ptb)
4. [Bug 3128148] The code is aligned with the C++ standard (minor violations has been removed)
5. [Bug 3141654] missing break statement for atomic store - fixed
6. Added in-place scan strategy to cds::gc::hzp::GarbageCollector. The strategy does not allocate any memory.
7. Fixed bugs in HRC and tagged GC
1. Preliminary support for "Pass The Buck" memory manager is added. See cds::gc::ptb namespace.
2. Many part of library is rewritten to generalize the usage of various GCs
3. The new class cds::details::aligned_allocator has been added for allocating aligned memory
blocks. It is useful for Tagged Pointer memory reclamation schema (cds::gc::tagged_gc).
4. [Break change] New argument has been added to the member functions "ensure" and "find"
for ordered list and map classes
5. New member function "emplace" has been added to ordered list and map classes. This member function
allows change the value (or a part of it) of list/map item.
6. The internal structure of class cds::map::MichaelHashMap is completely refactored to support
cds::gc::no_gc correctly
7. The classes RecursiveSpinT, RecursiveSpin32, RecursiveSpin64, and RecursiveSpin from cds::lock
namespace have been renamed to ReentrantSpinT, ReentrantSpin32, ReentrantSpin64, and ReentrantSpin
8. Compiler support: GCC version below 4.3.0 is not supported
9. Fixed memory leak in cds::map::SplitOrderedList
10. Added compiler barrier to spin-lock release primitive for x86 and amd64
11. Makefile script is changed to resolve the problem when an user calls 'make clean' directly.
Thanks to Tamas Lengyel to point me to this bug.
12. The file dictionary.txt is exluded from distributive. This file is used for testing purposes only.
The CDS library is totally rewritten using atomic primitives with explicit memory ordering (based on C++ memory model proposal). The implementation of atomic primitives for supported processor architectures is developed from scratch.
This library is an attempt to implement the well-known lock-free algorithms and memory reclamation schemas: Michael & Scott's queue, Michael's hash map, split-ordered list by Shalev & Shavit, Hazard Pointer memory reclamation by Michael's and its modification created by Sundell & Gidenstam and much more.
Supported platforms are:
x86 Linux (32bit)
amd64 (x86-64) Linux (64bit)
ia64 (itanium) Linux (64bit)
ia64 (itanium) HP-UX 11.23 and HP-UX 11.31 (64bit)
sparc (ultrasparc-III) Sun Solaris (64bit)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008:
x86 Windows (32bit)
amd64 (x86-64) Windows (64bit)

Salmon sales are jumping and retailers are catching hold of the fish's popularity to increase their top and bottom lines. Supermarkets across the country are hooking into fresh salmon in a number of ways. They're spiffing up case merchandising, conducting in-store demos, and posting point-of-sale materials that tout the health benefits of eating salmon. They're also advertising it more and implementing consumer-education programs. Those things alone could send sales up but there are ...

Davis has widest range of experience
Published: Thursday, April 13, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 13, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
To the Editor: Rick Davis has been leading, motivating, training and supervising people in tough military and law enforcement positions for 20 years. No other candidate has that duration, scope and complexity of leadership.
Rick was awarded the Army Commendation Medal, the highest peacetime award, and has numerous other military and law enforcement leadership awards. Rick has been in more tough, threatening, high-risk situations and has consistently made superb decisions. He is the only graduate of the FBI National Academy and one of only two in Western Carolina and 24 in the state. He started as an Eagle Scout and has continually grown from there.
Rick Davis has more educational hours directly applicable to the Sheriff's Office responsibilities than any other candidate. No one has his knowledge and experience with the court system protection, detention center, E-911 Emergency Communications Center (which serves 28 agencies including the city of Hendersonville), warrants and subpoenas, community patrol, drug enforcement (research, analysis, cooperation with other agencies, surveillance and interdiction) and youth programs.
Vote for Rick Davis for Sheriff!

- fitness;

- minisatellites
Measures of genetic diversity (including heterozygosity), survival and developmental homeostasis were found to be significantly lower in small, urban populations of the Common Toad (Bufo bufo) than in larger, rural populations of the same region. The autecology and genetic analysis of this relatively sedentary species suggested that the causal mechanism was genetic drift, arising from barriers to migration created by urban development. The pre-metamorphic survival of larvae cultured in identical conditions increased positively with the mean number of alleles at a locus and the percentage of polymorphic loci. Observed heterozygosity in urban garden and rural populations was correlated inversely with the number of observed physical abnormalities (used as a measure of developmental homeostasis) in the developing tadpoles. Genetic distances between town sites of mean 2.2 km separation were significantly higher than those between rural sites of mean 37 km separation. Genetic data were based on allozyme analysis of 27 loci in 8 urban and 4 rural populations. A subset of these sites (3 urban, 2 rural) were also assessed at 3 minisatellite loci and a positive correlation found between the average number of alleles per locus detected by the two methods. Estimates of Nei's 1972 genetic distance, derived separately from the DNA and protein data, were not, however, correlated. The reduction in genetic diversity and fitness observed in these urban toads provides an example of the effect on population persistence that longer term depletion in numbers and habitat fragmentation can have in the wider environment.

Comments about Black French Bistro Side Chairs, Set of 2:
I bought 6 chairs in May, I have no complaints. I really like them, they have a rough look, but I think it adds charm to them, anyways, I rubbed them with wood treatment oil (it's mineral oil) . They are very comfortable. About two weeks ago I got the chair pads, and it's perfection! I also liked the workmanship, very nice.

I am making a Warehouse management system.
The orders come in a CSV in the morning that my script then executes.
It places a php-made barcode on the top of each order. the sample CSV i am using has around 100 unique orders on, so when i load the page that will then print orders off the server is getting 100+ requests and (im guessing) some of the images time out.
When i view source and open the link to the ones that don't work it loads the image, leading me to think i need to somehow disable the timout method on the browser.
My only other idea is to load the barcodes through javascript.
Any suggestions?

I am trying to theme up the directory, I placed the shortcode on the /business-directory/ page and set the category slug to 'directory'. I have a category set up called 'cakes' and a listing within the category.
Without touching the templates when browsing /business-directory/ the url given for the cake category is /business-directory/directory/cakes/.
A direct copy/paste of the businessdirectory-category.tpl.php file from the plugin folder to my theme folder does strange things. The url for cakes now goes to /directory/cakes/ and the category name is missing.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi all,
To clarify the mildly ambiguous title, I've built a simple shop for a wine importer to sell wine. WooCommerce works fine, I'm happy, client is happy.
The shop is set up with each product (wine) to be available in either 6 bottle or 12 bottle cases. A person can click on a product, select a 6-bottle or 12 bottle case, goto another product, select a 6 or 12-bottle case, checkout, pay.
My Client has now asked if it's possible for someone to 'build their own case' of either 6 or 12 bottles of wine. I.e, select 2 single bottles of one wine, 2 of another and 2 of another. While this is possible to just add individual wines to the cart, this doesn't take into consideration any 'bulk discount', although the discount would depend on what wines are chosen, so can't really be a blanket 10% off, and you wouldn't want 10% off ALL products - just the selection of 6 or 12 single bottles, as it doesn't stop people from buying 8 or 15 individual wines.
Would it be possible to create a 'Product' called "Custom Mixed Cases" where someone could click on "Custom Mixed Cases", then in there select from all the products currently uploaded, a number of wines up to 6 or 12? Or any other way that could be at all possible. (additional woocommerce plugin etc) I've tried to find an example of what I'm after, but even the big wine companies don't seem to do it... Maybe there's a reason why...
Any ideas/comments welcome.
Many thanks,

Carrying on Father Foley's mission of service
By Joe Ackels '11
The Rev. Albert S. Foley, S.J., played a dominant role in the struggle for civil rights and wanted to create equal relationships between all people living in the Mobile area. The Foley Community Service Center was created in 1992, in order to carry out Father Foley's mission after his death in 1990.
Dr. Kathleen Orange, director of the Foley Center, says, "Our students have a tremendous capacity for the empathy that can transform society." The Foley Center gives Spring Hill students a chance to build a relationships with people they might not meet anywhere else.
"We saw that when our students serve on a regular and consistent basis, a relationship begins to form between the student and the young person. Giving attention and care are the best things our students can do for the young, old and less fortunate citizens of Mobile," Orange says. "Every person is different, and to listen and be with people and understand that they are different and they are themselves all takes patience."
The Foley Center partners with three local high schools, two middle schools and nine elementary schools. The Foley Center also coordinates with other programs such as nursing homes, hospitals, Catholic Social Services, Legal Services of Alabama, English as a Second Language, the Boys & Girls Club, the Amachi Program, United Cerebral Palsy and L'Arche. Additionally, there are eight environmental programs that involve maintaining Alabama's coastal resources.
There are currently 650 Spring Hill Students doing service in the Mobile community through the Foley Center. Of those students, 93 are contributing to the service program through service-learning courses such as philosophy, English and the social sciences.
"There really aren't a lot of words that can express how grateful these children are to see us every week," says senior Winslow Butts '11 of Mobile, Ala. "Just taking a couple hours a week out of your own day to spend time with them can positively change their lives and it's reciprocated."
During the fall semester, students worked with children at the Boys & Girls Club on an art project, and graphic design majors made promotional brochures for various organizations. The Foley Center also runs an ACT prep course where students help young people in their preparation for the ACT. After comparing the students' test scores before and after tutoring, Orange says, "we discovered that the young people are improving with the help of our students."
Jimmy Rapp '11, a senior from St. Louis, Mo., has been volunteering through the Foley Center since his freshman year. "This semester I'm volunteering at Blount High School tutoring students in subjects like mathematics and history. Ever since I started volunteering I could see the benefits these kids were receiving from the time I spent with them, and I plan on continued volunteer work once I graduate from Spring Hill," Rapp says.
Each student who participates in community service for the Foley Center attends reflection meetings every semester to share their stories about serving the Mobile community. Orange says, "These reflection meetings not only give students a chance to reflect and learn, but also they help build community on our own campus."
Chris Angle '11, a journalism major from St. Louis, says, "My favorite part about working with the children at Dearborne YMCA in Mobile is the fact that the kids know who you are by name when you walk in the room, and the excitement they have when they see you is contagious."
The underlying teachings of Jesuit education have given Spring Hill College students the tools needed to make a change in society and the Mobile community. The Foley Center offers a channel in which these students can go about making those changes.
Orange says, "Students do have something to give, and the places where they can give it are places where one human being ought to be helping another." Father Foley's goal is realized every day when Spring Hill students take the time to show compassion and care for the less fortunate people of the Mobile community.
Joe Ackels '11 interned in the Office of Communications and Marketing during the fall 2010 semester.

The APSRG is delighted that the Commission will revise legislative proposals on waste to establish more harmonised rules to determine when a secondary raw material should no longer be legally considered as 'waste' by clarifying existing rules on 'end-of-waste'. This will provide operators with more certainty and a level playing field. As identified in the APSRG report Triple Win (2014), this will also significant and positive impact on the remanufacturing industry. Products with potential to be remanufactured are often classified as waste, resulting in some remanufacturers being unable to use or access these products for remanufacture due to permitting reasons. These revisions should overcome this issue.
Read more on the Policy Connect home page.
APSRG Manager Laura Owen last week addressed Europe's inaugural waste furniture conference, FurniRec. Held in Deauville, France, the conference brought together leading figures from across the furniture manufacturing and waste industries.
Drawing on evidence from the APSRG's two in-depth research inquiries into remanufacturing, Laura called for EU governments to put the '4th 'R'' - remanufacturing - alongside recovery, recycling and reuse at the centre of the waste hierarchy.
The APSRG is the leading forum informing the debate between parliamentarians, business leaders and the sustainable resource community.

Jay Gatsby would invite them to a party. Holly Golightly of Breakfast at Tiffany's fame would see them as kindred souls. They are the Malloys, the family of con artists at the center of The Riches, a cinematic new series that is wrapping up its first season on the FX cable channel. Tense as a thriller, but plotted with the breathless extravagance of a farce, The Riches is on one level a barbed satire of modern American materialism and ambition. Like Gatsby and Golightly, the Malloys reinvent themselves with thrilling audacity, and their story comments wryly on the American Dream.
If you've missed the show to date: The Riches is available on iTunes, and FX has just renewed it for a second season. In other words, there are plenty of opportunities for meeting the Malloys, who are "travelers"-members of a brazen, light-fingered, gypsy-like tribe that lives on the fringes of American society. Clan loyalty exerts a powerful pull on this shady group-but the free-thinking Wayne and Dahlia Malloy (Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver) and their three children, Cael, Di Di, and Sam (Noel Fisher, Shannon Woodward, and Aidan Mitchell), set off in search of a new life. After witnessing a fatal car accident, the Malloys take on the identities of the victims, who had been driving to a new home in a snooty gated community called Edenfalls. The Malloys locate the property and move in.
From an outsider's perspective, Edenfalls...

EXCL. PREVIEW: "Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps" #1 Enforces 'Sinestro's Law'
Comic Books
While Grant Morrison's remarks about bondage, submission and eroticism in early Wonder Woman comics may receive widespread attention, his more subdued comments in a new interview may actually shed the most light on his long-awaited take on the Amazing Amazon.
Talking to USA Today about Wonder Woman: Earth One, his 120-page graphic novel with artist Yanick Paquette, the writer explains that, "I'm really focusing a lot more on the mother and daughter story in it between Hippolyta and Diana. I want it to be that kind of book, a story about women."
"I grew up with my own mother and sister in the house," he continues, "and it was watching that and the way women can tear each other apart and lift each other up at the same time. I wanted to do a little bit of my own experience with those characters. Diana's a lot more defiant in it and she's not sent to man's world — she runs away to it so there's a very different dynamic between her and Hippolyta, and the entire thing basically takes place around a trial."
That's fitting, Morrison reasons, as "I always felt one of the fundamentals of Wonder Woman in at least the last two decades is that she always seems to be on trial, and I don't mean that in a story sense. Everyone's always saying, 'Why does nobody buy Wonder Woman? Why isn't she any good?' It seems like she's always on trial, so I thought if I literalized that and made the story basically the Amazons bringing her back home after her first adventure away and putting her on trial, it'd be different from anything else you might see. The Amazons have their own ways of doing things.
"It's kind of asking Wonder Woman to justify herself, which I feel has almost been what the character's had to do for a long time."
Looks good.
My God! That ART!
This is going to be so good.
A mother and daughter story? In a Wonder-Woman book? Come on Morrison, don't you know that Diana's birth, her relationship to her mother and a peaceful Amazon civilization are the least interesting things about the character and should be disposed of as fast as possible!
Now, more seriously, I really like Azzarello's run but the beginning, the whole "what kind of idiot would believe the clay origin?", Wonder-Woman's Amazons are rapists and killers and getting rid of the mother was just an awful way to start.
Also, I trust Morrison, he is one of my favourite writers. He better deliver with this book because him getting to write it apparently was the reason why Rucka unfortunately left DC.
Excellent artwork. I was afraid we would never see this…
looks boring.
forget that faux ancient greek bondage nonsense and finish SEAGUY 3 already….
Didn't he quit or retire from comics or something? I thought I read that not long ago…
it was probably just that he was done with Batman for now.
When does this come out?
This is looking better than I thought it would be!
Grant Morrison? He's still alive?
"You say you have not been corrupted by Man's world with lips willingly smeared with its pollution"
david fullam? he's still alive?
@Malreyn: "Didn't he quit or retire from comics or something? I thought I read that not long ago…"
Pretty sure he said that he felt burned out by superheroes so he would look to move away from them… I guess he keeps finding projects he wants to work on.
I'm feeling a bit jaded in regards to Morrison at the moment, he has a hell of a lot of goodwill from me because of the amount of amazing stuff he has written, but over the last few days I reread his Action Comics run, which may be the most disappointing run of a comic I've ever read in full.
I really hope this is excellent.
Last year he said he felt a little burnt out in the superhero genre and wanted to focus on creator owned projects for a while. This and Multiversity are supposed to be his last superhero works for the foreseeable future. At SDCC he said next year he's going to focus on film/tv work.
Well, at least he won't be taking a dump on Batman anymore.
Morrison is perhaps the most overrated writer of all time. Not really interested in any of the Earth-One books/stories, since they don't fall within New 52 continuity, but even if I was, I'd skip this one anyway.
I'm not not sold on Azz's WW either, but I'd take that over anything GM does with the character in a heartbeat.
I'll be glad when GM leaves DC altogether. IMO, he hasn't done anything worth reading, since Final Crisis, & even that was a stretch.
This will be the first DC hardcover I've bought in more than a decade. I like Azz's Wonder Woman as well.
Morrison always brings something unique to the table. One of the all-time greats, and I hope he enjoys his time away from monthly super stuff.
Right on, Samurai36. Morrison is very overrated. Only a small portion of his body of work is any good, imo. He hasn't done worth reading since Seven Soldiers. His Batman run has been underwhelming to say the least. For a long time I thought it was because Morrison didn't get the character…but his run on Action Comics vol. 2 with Superman, a character he supposedly 'gets' was even worse. Morrison has been a writer who was known for his unusual take on superheroes and the comics genre who was turning it very boring work that was borderline unprofessional when he was allowed to play with DC's biggest franchises, Superman and Batman.
My new theory on the decline of Morrison's writing stems from DC's editorial policies, where I think all of Morrison's 'crazy' ideas, since Seven Soldiers, has been rejected. This leaves us with generic DC stories that highlight Morrison's flaws, like his storytelling deficiencies. Another theory that I have that is compatible with my newer theory is that I also think that Mr. Morrison has run out of inspiration. A strong case has been made by Brendan McCarthy himself that many of Grant Morrison's best ideas or inspiration came from himself or Peter Milligan.
*"My new theory on the decline of Morrison's writing stems from DC's editorial policies, where I think all of Morrison's 'crazy' ideas, since Seven Soldiers, has been rejected "

Praise Hera, She is in heels! I wish Mother was blonde, but love the eagle chest emblem on both!!
More reasons to avoid this.
For "I think Morrison's overrated" read "I don't really understand the multiple levels on which his work operates and wish to be spoonfed comic book stories that fit in with my narrow conceptions of what comic books should be".
I'm looking forward to this. I think that it is really shaping up to be a far more respectful take on WW and her origins than what Azzarello has done – of course, that's not difficult. Just don't make the Amazons murderers and rapists and you're already ahead.
To me, the heart of WW has always been her relationship with her mother and the Amazons. Her entire worldview and strength of character come from that loving and supportive environment and childhood. It will be interesting to see how Morrison works with this.
One concern that I have: evaluating Amazon interactions on the basis of how women in our world interact may not be entirely justified. Women's behavior is affected by the male-oriented society in which they live. An interesting thought experiment, and an essential part of this story, I believe, has to be a consideration of how women would interact with each other if men were not around. In some ways, little might change but, in others, there would be fundamental differences.
And, no, WW should not be wearing heels. That's just ludicrous. At least her heels don't seem to be stiletto heels but more practical wedge heels. But the heels at all make no sense.
interesting makeing it more about the mother daughter bond between wonder woman, and Hypolita for when i first heard grant was finaly going to add his touch to wonder woman and finish off doing the trinity kind of was afraid he was going to do more of that crazy stuff he did with batman and superman. like even bring back all the bondage stuff from her creator or something more crazy then dr. hurt either being an insane thomas wayne back from the dead or the devil. though would not mind if grant also gives wonder woman a kid like he did bringing damien into batman contiunity too.

"….We suggest that Themyscira is this utopian, beautiful, almost sci-fi world that evolved separately, but with the foundation of the Greek culture and the culture of Aphrodite (the Amazon goddess)." ….
….He details some of the changes he has in mind. "The animal associated to Aphrodite is a dove so instead of an eagle on [Wonder Woman's] breastplate, it will be more of a dove. It's not the American eagle, it's the Aphrodite dove. Stuff that creates [the letter] W is by accident, so it's not like she already has a letter of the alphabet on her [costume]. In the end I've created a structure so it feels inevitable for Wonder Woman to look the way she does."
It's so funny when fanboys cry out, "She's in heels! That is ludicrous", but the fact that this is a mystical super hero with super powers, that part is perfectly acceptable. Stupid argument always. It's fantasy folks.
also,. thanks for the info dark rabbit! Very cool!
Oh, I understand what Morrison does, which is why I hate it so much.
Well, I doubt he's that bothered.
I like how the comments start out positive. Then all it takes is one guy to say this looks like crap or Morrison is overrated and then everybodys like"Oh yeah yeah.Its crap hes totally overrated" Funny stuff.
@Miraclemouth. Well said dude!!
Morrison's dream sequence for Wonder Woman in JLA 8-9 was a deft updating of Paula Von Gunther and an equalizing of the romance with Steve Trevor: it suggested that Morrison viewed Wonder Woman as more of an adventurer than as an icon and promised a simplification of her mythology. However, if Wonder Woman is going to have multiple costume changes over the course of his 120 page Earth One graphic novel, then simplicity has surely been replaced by spectacle. If the Amazons are putting their own princess on trial, if this is a mother/daughter story, if this is concerning feminine assimilation into the modern world, then Morrison's work has much more in common with Marston's original conception than I was hoping for. Marston never really "fleshed-out" Wonder Woman as an individual: she was "fashion forward" in her costume, but "plain Jane" in her civilian identity; she was revolutionary in her heroics, but easily ignored in her ordinary life, while beloved by her Amazon sisters. Marston never reconciled the contradictions between her being an Amazon princess, a superhero and a personal secretary to Steve Trevor. Morrison's Zatanna story in SEVEN SOLDIERS is my all-time favorite tale of hers; it's a father/daughter story as well as a mentor/student story and a coming-of-age story; it's subtle and it's wonderful! Morrison's SHINING KNIGHT is simply amazing. But I feel that Thymescira is a sand-trap, that the Amazons are a MacGuffin, that Hippolyta is a tragic distraction from telling Wonder Woman's impressive story in a powerful way, that these foolish things drain the energy from her magic lasso. Wonder Woman did not run away from Thymescira to escape judgement from her mother, she did not run away with Steve Trevor to become a cog in the war machine, she did not join the Justice League to shamelessly flirt with Superman: she's not silly. I hope all those costume changes do nothing to break'a her stride to greatness with Grant Morrison! Hola!
