Over the past few years, Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO[1]) has been restructuring its operations. Though the company hasn't gone with the typical approach (job cuts), and instead has focused mostly on trying to find new avenues of growth. But for the most part, the company has failed.
So now it looks like Yahoo will resort to massive layoffs. According to an All Things Digital report[2], the company could be handing out thousands of pink slips. (Yahoo's current headcount is 14,100.)
Yahoo's new CEO, Scott Thompson, has hired the Boston Consulting Group to help with the process. Some of the targets include research, marketing and public relations.
No doubt, Yahoo is a bloated organization, and this has made it difficult to innovate. Instead, more nimble companies — like Facebook and even Google (NASDAQ:GOOG[3]) — have been able to eat into its market share.
True, the tech industry isn't exactly littered with examples of successful turnarounds. Just look at the failures at Palm and AOL (NYSE:AOL[4]). Once a company stumbles, it is incredibly tough to play catch-up.
But there's still some room for hope. IBM (NYSE:IBM[5]) pulled off a successful recovery in the 1990s — and of course, so did Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL[6]). These companies gutted the cost structure, which was extremely painful. But they also focused on just a few areas of strength.
The good news for Yahoo is that is has some great assets. Its brand remains strong across the world, and the company dominates news categories like finance, health and sports.
In fact, Yahoo could leverage these assets into the fast-growing market for mobile. Consider that Thompson made this strategy as a success while he was at the helm of eBay's (NASDAQ:EBAY[7]) PayPal.
As for investors, there is no rush to get into the stock, which is trading flat today. But over the next few years, Yahoo does have some big opportunities — and it looks like Thompson is willing to make the tough choices.

Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer has widened her lead over GOP challenger Carly Fiorina, according to a new Field Poll that suggests the main issue in the race is the incumbent herself.
Boxer leads Fiorina 47 percent to 41 percent in the new survey.
A July Field Poll had Boxer leading the former Hewlett-Packard CEO 47 percent to 44 percent.
Boxer is a primary motivating force for how people may vote, according to the poll.
Sixty-five percent of Fiorina backers said their support is based more on opposition to Boxer than a strong feeling for Fiorina. Meanwhile, 67 percent of Boxer's supporters say will be voting for her largely because they like her rather than because they oppose Fiorina.
"With Boxer, it's just her arrogance," said Felipe Andrade, a Republican from South San Diego who participated in the poll. "She's just been in government so long that she thinks she knows better than the people. That attitude's got to go."
Mary Stevenson, an Escondido resident, also participated in the poll.
"We'll keep Boxer," Stevenson said. "I'm really disappointed with the Democrats, but I'm a Democrat and I vote Democrat."
Mark DiCamillo, director of the Field Poll, said the respondents' motivations are noteworthy.
"It's either an anti-Boxer vote or a pro-Boxer vote," he said. "It's relatively less about Fiorina for now. That may change, but that's the way it is for now."
Voters in the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area strongly favor Boxer, who also holds a 9-point lead in Los Angeles County.
Fiorina leads in other Southern California counties, including San Diego, by three points.
The Republican challenger has a large lead in the Central Valley and inland counties, while Boxer is strong in coastal counties.
The poll also found significant differences based on respondents' educational background.
Those who have no more than a high school education favor Fiorina over Boxer by 46 percent to 38 percent. Among those who have postgraduate degrees, Boxer is preferred by 62 percent to 28 percent for Fiorina.
Another contrast was found between those who intend to vote by mail and those who plan to go to the polls.
Mail voters narrowly prefer Fiorina 45 percent to 44 percent.
Those who plan to go their local polling place favor the incumbent over the challenger by 50 percent to 37 percent.
Boxer is favored by double-digit margins among Latinos and other ethnic voting groups, while Fiorina holds a slim lead among non-Hispanic whites.
People who identify with the tea party movement strongly favor Fiorina.
The nonpartisan Field Poll surveyed 599 likely voters by telephone between Sept. 14 and Tuesday.
It has an overall margin of error of 4.1 percentage points.

Bill Radke: Here's another sign the financial gloom is lifting: the market for initial public offerings -- IPOs -- has been just lifeless for the past year and a half. But today, five new companies are on deck to raise money from the public and get listed on stock exchanges. That's the busiest IPO week since December 2007. Reporter Jill Barshay has more.
Jill Barshay: When investors are losing money on blue chip stocks like IBM, they're not in any sort of mood for speculative investments like IPOs.
Matt Regan is a senior managing partner at investment bank WR Hambrecht. He says investors are up for risk again because the market's jumped almost 50 percent since March.
Matt Regan: Any time the markets take off like that, what's known as the window opens for IPOs. And you know what happens is everybody that's got, you know, a company they think can tap the public markets rushes to get it out into the momentum of the marketplace.
Regan says there's a big backlog of high-growth companies that are desperate to go public. This week includes A123 Systems. It makes batteries for hybrid electric cars. And Chinese companies are expected to be a big part of this next IPO wave.
In New York, I'm Jill Barshay for Marketplace.

Bournemouth 0 Man City 4: Kevin De Bruyne returns to sink Eddie Howe's men
De Bruyne fired over from 20 yards when he could so easily have buried a second, but City wasted little time adding their third.
Navas' persistence paid off when he reached an over-hit pass to keep the ball in play and stand up a cross to the far post.
Aguero did the rest, out-muscling and out-jumping the Bournemouth defence to loop a header back across goal and over the bamboozled Artur Boruc.
Fernandinho hit the bar from 20 yards with Boruc beaten again, before Bournemouth finally rallied.
Steve Cook's glancing header forced Willy Caballero into his first meaningful save of the day from Matt Ritchie's teasing cross as the hosts at least fought to make a fist of things.
City took their foot off the gas after the break, doubtless eyeing Wednesday's Champions League last-eight first leg in Paris.
Pellegrini withdrew De Bruyne before the hour, and Silva just after it.
Eunan O'Kane scuffed a shot badly wide when through for Bournemouth, and City wasted several half-chances, before Kolarov fired an unstoppable fourth for the final word.

Only a handful of racers become champions, but hundreds of others have played an important role in the history of drag racing. If their stories remain untold the history of our sport will be incomplete. Only YOU can help. Your tax-free contribution to the Quarter Mile Foundation will help insure that drag racing's complete story will be told.
DID HE REALLY SAY THAT? BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT I THOUGHT HAPPENED… Drag racing's best stories have never appeared in magazines or on television. They're the tales that racers spin as they sit around after eliminations, or back at the hotel after they DNQ and everybody DNQs at some point!), or even at the finish line when they think the guy in the other lane burned 'em down.
Conducting video interviews from Coast to Coast is an expensive proposition, yet every single penny we receive in contributions will be used to expand our interviews in an effort to truly tell drag racing's story.
And who do you want telling that story, Big Daddy or a writer who wasn't there? The Snake or the writer whose hands are tied to the point where what's politically correct is more important than the truth?No magazine or newspaper is ever going to tell you these and so many other stories, but by helping the Quarter Mile Foundation with your tax-free contributions those stories will be preserved and shared for all time.
Our goal is a simple one – preserving the real, true and unvarnished stories of the sport we all love.
Please help us preserve these stories by giving to the Quarter Mile Foundation @ Click here to become a part of preserving history.

Don Carlos (born Euvin Spencer) Legendary Reggae Artist was born and raised in one of the most deprived regions of Western Kingston, Jamaica, in a district notoriously known as Waterhouse, which incidentally is also a musical spawning ground for many of Reggae's greatest ever talents, such as King Tubby, Black Uhuru, The Jays, Junior Reid and King Jammy, to name but a few. Don Carlos started his singing career in 1973 as one of the original members of Black Uhuru, alongside other founding members, Garth Dennis who later went on to joining the Wailing Souls, and Derrick Ducky Simpson. As part of the trio, Don sang lead on the highly acclaimed Love Crisis album, for producer Prince Jammy in 1977. This album was later re-released and re-titled as Black Sounds of Freedom. A year after the trio's groundbreaking debut, Don Carlos surprisingly decided to leave Black Uhuru in pursuit of a solo career. Within three years as a solo artist, developing his song writing and grooming his distinctive vocal style, in May 1981 Suffering was released. This strong release took the fraternity by storm, courtesy of a heavy roots and culture flavored showcase for the Negus Roots label. This album was a massive hit in Africa, selling unprecedented units. Unfortunately, the album was bootlegged, and Don never received proper royalties.
At this time, he worked alongside Goldie, his sidekick, co writer, and back up vocalist. Together they built a staunch following through touring the live circuit and releasing consistant albums including Harvest Time, Day to Day Living, Them Never Know A Natty Dread Have Credentials, all three issued in 1982, Spread Out 1982 also otherwise known as Laser Beam to which the majority of tracks in this set have been culled, Never Run Away 1984, Just a Passing Glance 1985 and more recently Seven Days a Week. Don's partner, Gold was tragically shot and crippled, putting him out of the music business.
During the eighties dance hall mania, Don had five top ten hits between 1982 – 1985- Late Night Blues, Nice Time Tonight, Dice Cup, Hog & Goat, I'm Not Getting Crazy and Spread Out. Don is still churning out solid, melodic roots reggae. Other titles in his rich catalogue include Roots and Culture, Raving Tonight, Pure Gold, Spread Out, Plantation, Never Run Away, Slow Down Vol. 3, Rasta Brothers, Prophecy, Firehouse Clash, Deeply Concerned, Ease Up, Lazer Beam, Ras Portraits, Grove w/me, Head to Head, Jah Light, Live in San Francisco (2002), and Special Edition. There's an old saying in the music industry that claims: What goes around, comes back around. In Dons' case, a request for reinstatement to his former role as lead vocalist for a rejuvenated Black Uhuru reunion resulted in another strong Black Uhuru album – Now. 1990 marked the reunion of the original vocal trio with Don, Garth and Duckie. After six years- 1989-1994- and four albums, singing lead for Black Uhuru in the studio, and on the road, Don again went back to his solo career. His other titles with Black Uhuru include Mystical Truths, Iron Storm and Strong. All of these four albums are classics with Don up front on lead vocals.
After the Black Uhuru stretch, Don joined forces with the California based Reggae Angels, who backed him for four years. He then kept some of the core Reggae Angels musicians for his own permanent backing band. He has been touring successfully with this band in Europe, South America, Hawaii, and the western US. Don's popularity has been consistently growing, so he is now one of the most sought after roots reggae artists in the business.

Davie County Vineyards: Ideal Complement for the Holidays
Posted by admin in Davie County Chamber of Commerce, People, Places to Eat, Things To Do, Top Stories, Vineyards on December 21, 2013
Do you still need to buy for a Christmas gift for someone but loathe the thoughts of facing the throngs at a massive shopping mall or wandering around a big-box outlet hoping to find inspiration on its sterile shelves?
There's no need to panic. Just head to one of Davie County's wineries and pick up a bottle of wine or two for the yet-to-be-gifted adults on your shopping list. The diversity of offerings means you're sure to find something to please their palate, and the soothing, pastoral settings of the vineyards that can be seen from the tasting rooms will give you a chance to cool your jets during this sometimes frantic time of year.
A couple of tips before you make your grape escape from the holiday crowds. If possible, try to find out what food the wine will accompany. Opinions vary, of course, but generally speaking a Pinot Noir or Syrah goes well with turkey, Malbec or Merlot are great matches for prime rib, and a stronger red such as Cabernet is called for with lamb. And as more than one critic has pointed out, you can almost never go wrong with a sparkling wine because the sound of the cork being popped is a siren call for celebration.
There's one other advantage to following our advice: by shopping at these wineries, you'll also be investing in Davie County, where many of you live and work. Every dollar spent in Davie County will help grow the community and give your friends and neighbors a chance to prosper in the coming year.
With that in mind, here's a look at some of the spots you'll want to check out.
RayLen Vineyards & Winery
3577 Highway 158, Mocksville
Tasting Room Hours: 11AM – 6PM Monday-Saturday, Closed Sundays
Open Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve 11AM – 3PM, Closed Christmas and New Year's Day
If you're looking for the broadest selection of wines from which to choose, head to RayLen Vineyards and Winery in Mocksville. Established by Joseph and Joyce Neely in 2000 and named after their daughters, Rachel and Helen, RayLen's production is headed up by longtime vintner Steve Shepard. RayLen produced just 2500 cases of five types of wines that first year; a dozen years later, production had soared by over 300 percent and now comprises 16 different varieties. The rapid expansion didn't come up at the expense of quality, but rather because of it. RayLen has racked up numerous state and regional awards and is renowned as one of the top wineries in the Southeast.
If the large selection has you uncertain what wine to select, try one of RayLen's wine flights, which gives you the opportunity to sample from a broad array of offerings. Both the Red Flight (six wines) and the White Flight (seven wines) are just $6.00, while the Complete Flight is $10.00 and comprises just about everything RayLen produces.
Besides producing top-notch wine, RayLen also hosts open houses, music festivals, and is available for private events such as weddings or birthday parties. Visit the Web site to learn more and sign up as a member of the "Cellar Club" to have wines delivered to your home on a regular basis.
Misty Creek Vineyards
710 Wyo Road
Mocksville, NC 27028
Tasting Room Hours: 4PM – 8PM Fridays, 10AM – 8PM Saturdays, 2PM – 6PM Sundays
Nestled a couple of miles off Farmington Road between Huntsville and Farmington is Misty Creek Vineyards, producers of numerous award-winning wines since 2001. But owner Barry Nichols, who enjoyed a 30-plus-year career in the aerospace industry, has been involved with wines much longer than that: he first started working with the fruit of the vine the same year that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Now, he and wife Kathy oversee the production of five varietals (four reds, one white) and two blends (Barrel House Blend and Misty Rose).
But while it's the wines that will bring you out Misty Creek, it's the welcoming atmosphere that's likely to keep you coming back. The winery is both family- and pet-friendly, and Barry encourages visitors to bring their own food—there's a grill available for cooking—and enjoy a bottle of their prize-winning Chardonnay or Chambourcin at the outdoor pavilion that overlooks a pond in the midst of the vineyard. Or just stop by and try the Misty Creek Flight featuring samples of all seven wines for just $5.
Like RayLen, Misty Creek hosts special events throughout the year centered around food, music, artisans, and activities. Keep an eye on the event calendar to see what's in store in the coming months.
Garden Gate Vineyards
261 Scenic Drive, Mocksville
Tasting Room Hours: 12 Noon to 5PM Wednesday-Saturday
While North Carolina's reputation as winemaking state has soared over the past decade, there's no question that vintners here face special challenges when trying to make European-style varietals. But Garden Gate Vineyards' owners Sonya and Bob Whitaker have come up with a solution: creating wines using local fruits such as blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries, as well as relying on indigenous grapes like the Scuppernong and Muscadine.
Grown without pesticides, all Garden Gate's wines are priced at $12 bottle (a free bottle is thrown in when you purchase a case). In addition to its fruity wines and Scuppernong and Muscadine, the Whitakers have recently added a Zinfandel and a Merlot to the roster, along with a Sangria (based on the strawberry wine) and a specialty run called "Jitterbug." Starting to feel the nip of winter? Sample the warm, soothing Dragonfly Wassail the Whitakers created for the holidays.
Those unfamiliar with fruity or sweeter wines will appreciate the fact Garden Gate offers free tastings, and everyone will enjoy the small winery's friendly atmosphere. Get directions and learn more about the nutritional benefits of Muscadine grapes at Garden Gate's little nook on the Web.
Lazy Elm Vineyard & Winery
523 Danner Road, Mocksville
Tasting Room Hours: 12 Noon to 5PM, Saturday and Sunday
One of the newest arrivals on the Davie County wine scene is Lazy Elm Vineyard and Winery. The five-and-a-half-acre vineyard sits on a 43-acre farm in Mocksville about a mile east of Highway 601.
For its initial lineup, Lazy Elm has been purchasing grapes from a Surry County vineyard located within the Yadkin Valley American Viticultural Area to create three reds and a rose; it also has been producing a sweet apple wine. Last year marked its first plantings in the vineyard: Montepulciano, Petit Verdot, Mourvedre, and Malbec comprise the lineup of reds and Vermentino, a variety used in Italian wines, will be the flagship white wine.
While the tasting room is currently open only on weekends, you can also call to set up a time to stop by during the week. Just bring a couple of glasses and perhaps a picnic lunch, then grab a bottle of wine and relax in a peaceful setting. Find out more about Lazy Elm and keep up to date on their upcoming varietals by heading to their Web site.
WXII News Spotlights Davie County's Hidden Charms
Posted by admin in Cooleemee, Davie County Chamber of Commerce, Davie County Economic Development, Davie County Schools, Mocksville, People, Places to Eat, Things To Do, Top Stories on December 18, 2013
For the past couple of years, the big news out of Davie County has been economic development. Big names such as Ashley Furniture and Wake Forest Baptist Health, Ingersoll Rand, Avgol and more have invested millions of dollars in new facilities in the county, and smaller firms like Carolina Precision Plastics and Pro Refrigeration have set up shops offering good-paying jobs at a time when employers are extremely picky about where they'll locate.
But when WXII News 12 paid an all-day visit to Historic Downtown Mocksville this past December 11th, they weren't there to cover a business opening or a groundbreaking ceremony for a new business. Instead, the number-one news team in the Piedmont Triad was there to "Celebrate Davie," with a special focus was on the people and places that make Davie County uniquely appealing to residents and visitors alike.
Longtime nighttime news anchor Cameron Kent took viewers to Cooleemee for a trip down to The Bullhole, an eye-catching waterfall on the Yadkin River that generations have relished as a prime swimming and fishing spot, then peeked into the area's past with a report on Lake Hideaway. The man-made lake, fronted by a beach created with sand hauled in from the North Carolina Coast, was the gathering spot for Davie County teens in the 1950s and early 1960s, but decades after closing its charms are found only in memories.
History buffs were treated to a report on Joppa Cemetery, final resting place for legendary frontiersman Daniel Boone's parents Squire and Sarah Boone and his brother Israel.
Chief meteorologist Lanie Pope traded in her maps and charts for mixing bowls, eggs, and flour at Ketchie Creek Bakery and Cafe in Mocksville. While Pope's creations were passable, you'll probably want to visit when the regular team is whipping up its signature Five-Flavor Pound Cake, which Our State magazine described as a "symphony of flavors." But who knows—you might get to taste the bakery's wares at a wedding at WinMock at Kinderton, a 1920s-era dairy barn that was converted into a a rustic yet tasteful special-events center in 2011.
At the end of the day, though, it's the folks of Davie County that make it such a special place to live, work, and play. Morning news anchor Kimberly Van Scoy introduced Seth Grooms, a hugely successful Special Olympian and a fixture at Davie County High School football games—so much so that he was named an honorary member of the team. In fact, Grooms is so beloved in Davie County he was named marshal of the town's 2012 Christmas parade. Emma Slabach stopped by the WXII studios to show off her special talent: the 13-year-old is a cup-stacking champion and has competed in evens sanctioned by the World Sport Stacking Association.
And even when the news team visited one of Davie County's most successful enterprises, the focus was on the people more than on the product. Trailers of the East Coast, which provides trailers for many NASCAR teams and for major national companies like FedEx and Walt Disney Corporation, goes back three generations, when Ted Junker bought an appliance and hardware store in Mocksville. Today, his son Bill and Bill's sons Clint and Will run the business—and nine grandchildren stand ready to join the Trailers of the East Coast team at some point.
Of course, there are far too many hidden charms and smiling faces in Davie County to be covered even in an all-day TV broadcast—which is another way of saying you should take time to make a visit. Visit the Davie County Chamber of Commerce, Facebook and Twitter pages for a list of events, businesses, attractions, and more.
Once again, thank you to the entire team at WXII News 12 for picking a day to "Celebrate Davie."
Congratulations to the 2012 Davie County Chamber of Commerce Award Recipients
Posted by admin in Davie County Economic Development, People, Places to Eat, Things To Do, Top Stories on October 5, 2012
A packed house was on hand for the 43rd Annual Davie County Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet and Gala event hosted at the beautiful WinMock at Kinderton event center in the town of Bermuda Run. The crowd gave an enthusiastic welcome to the 2012 Davie County Chamber of Commerce award recipients.

The featured guest speaker for the event was Mr. Ron Wanek, Chairman of Ashley Furniture. Mr. Wanek explained what attracted Ashley Furniture to Davie County and to North Carolina. He unveiled Ashley Furniture's plans to eventually have up to 5 million square feet under roof at Ashley Furniture's Southeastern Manufacturing and Distribution Center in Advance, North Carolina.
This was truly an evening of celebration for all of Davie County! Thank you to the Davie County Chamber of Commerce for being a driving force for business success and social responsibility all across Davie County. Video from this gala event will be posted to your Davie County YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/daviecounty) as soon post-production editing has been completed.

Annual Catfish Fry and Blue Grass Music ~ Saturday, October 15th 11 am – 2 pm
Posted by admin in People, Places to Eat, Things To Do, Top Stories on October 13, 2011
Under the Shelter with Blue Grass Music ~ An Annual Tradition
Held on the third Saturday every October, this gathering has become an area tradition in both Davie and western Rowan Counties. Fall at this nature park is breathtaking and when the old-time Blue Grass music is added, it becomes the "place to be."
"The Bullhole Gang" Raising Money for RiverPark at Cooleemee Falls
They grew up together and a lot of their early memories cluster around time spent at a special place on the South Yadkin River.
Those cherished memories have motivated Ron Bivins, Ronnie Shoaf, Ron Webb and their friends they've dubbed "The Bullhole Gang" to show up every year to raise money for RiverPark at Cooleemee Falls.
Great Food and Live Music
No one in these parts has ever disputed that they fry the "best catfish you'll ever eat" and on Saturday, October 16 from 11 a.m. through 2 p.m., a plate will include french fries, hush puppies, slaw, a drink and dessert all for $8 with kids plates for only $3.50.
"We've been feeding just over four hundred in past years," says Ron Bivins whose wife Teresa is, he adds, "in charge of everything other than the frying." This year the Bivins hope to break the five hundred mark.

Tickets On Sale Now
Tickets are now on sale at the Cooleemee Town Hall, Osborne's Service Station and the Zachary House in Cooleemee. In Mocksville they are available at the Davie County Chamber of Commerce and in Salisbury at The LandTrust office at the train depot.
An average weekend day last summer saw over 150 people enjoying nature at the park for swimming, fishing and "water-sliding" on the rocks. Park goers are encouraged to wear an old pair of tennis shoes to protect against sharp rocks and stabilize walking on very slippery bedrock.
Owned by the Town of Cooleemee, the park is operated by the non-profit RiverPark, Inc. whose board of directors has representation from local governments, environmental and tourism agencies in Davie and Rowan Counties. Governments help support about half of the park's annual operating expenses and the rest are raised through donations and events like the fish fry and the new "Great Bullhole Duck Race." Planning continues for a big push to complete the 80+ acre nature park on the Davie side.
For more information, call (336) 284-6040 or (704) 647-0302.
Getting There
RiverPark is located at the end of Erwin Temple Church Road in Rowan County just past the river bridge from Cooleemee. The Catfish Fry takes place at the Margaret C. Woodson picnic shelter. From any direction, take Needmore road just a short piece and turn at the Erwin Temple CME Church.

Lindsay Lohan released from hospital after car crash
Police believe drugs and alcohol were not to blame for the bisexual actress' accident
Hollywood bisexual actress Lindsay Lohan was hospitalized, and later released, after her car crashed on the way to her latest film.
The Freaky Friday star accidently ran into the back of a large dump truck yesterday (8 June), and both Lohan and her male passenger was taken to hospital.
The preliminary investigation revealed that both vehicles were travelling on the Pacific Coast Highway when Lohan's Porsche struck the rear end of the truck.
Police believe drugs and alcohol were not involved, but have not yet identified the cause.
'Lindsay was involved in an automobile accident today on her way to the set,' her publicist Steve Honig said in a statement.
'She is fine and was released less than two hours later and is already headed back to the set to resume work.'
He added: 'Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the accident.'
Lohan is currently attempting to make a comeback after a string of court appearances over the last few years.
Later in the day Lohan returned to the set of her new Lifetime movie Liz & Dick, where she will be portraying Dame Elizabeth Taylor.
Lifetime issued a statement, saying: 'First and foremost, we're concerned about the wellbeing of Lindsay and anyone else involved in the accident.
'Lindsay has been doing fantastic work on the set of Liz & Dick and we have no further details.'

Tagged: Category boxes, category in grid
Hi there, I would like to try place the child product categories into small boxes (in a grid) at the top of the page when viewing product categories. How can I do this please.. It may solve all my issues in building a site with over 2000+ products and +160 categories.
you need to modify the templates (or hook into the default templates) to achieve what you want. It requires some time and quite a lot of work however I can point you to the right direction. You can find all necessary actions here: http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce-codex/extending-woocommerce/action-reference/ – I'd use the "woocommerce_before_single_product" action. This page: http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce-codex/extending-woocommerce/class-reference/ list all functions which can display product data (i.e. get_categories will list all product categories).
Sorry, but I am looking for this to be an update on the theme as when you have a very large commerce site, then it looks very ugly with so many categories. I would have thought support could at least supply me with the right code to get this done to display the theme in all the right light.
Hey! I added the request to the potential new feature list but to be perfectly honest, since its not been requested until now I am afraid it is a pretty low priority and probably might not see the light of day anytime soon.
Since we dont have a single customer who pays a lot but many customers that pay a small amount of money for our templates I need to focus on the stuff that many poeple want. I would recommend to hire someone to get the job done if you dont want or cant do it yourself, that would probably be more time efficient than waiting for me to find the time to implement it.
Best regards and sorry that I cant currently help on this one…
The topic 'Parent categories to show at the top of the shop pages in small boxes?' is closed to new replies.

Combining these 2 aspects gives students a better and more accurate throw. The padded cover also offers a soft touch, lessening fears when catching the ball.

Versatile Style
A dual-tone, collegiate pattern on the cover makes our best Wilson® composite ball great to play with and very stylish. The exclusive dual-tone color and white stripes make it extremely easy to track during catching drills.

Jack Evans had a major decision to make.
After losing Jim Rome to rival XTRA Sports 1360, Evans, the vice president of programming and operations at XX Sports 1090, "could either concede Rome's time slot or try and beat him."
Evans has chosen to go on the attack, so starting Monday, 1090 has a new lineup.
Scott Kaplan and Billy Ray Smith move back an hour to 6-10 a.m.
Lee "Hacksaw" Hamilton, who has done a show in afternoon drive for most of his nearly three decades on the air, moves to 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Darren Smith moves to 2-6 p.m., followed by John Kentera from 6-9 p.m.
"I looked at everything and decided to move Scott and Billy Ray because there are more people listening to the radio at 10 a.m. than 5 a.m., " Evans said.
"Plus, I want those guys on the air for the first hour or Rome's show."
Rome has been on 1090 for several years, but he's part of the Premiere Radio Network, which is part of the Clear Channel group. XTRA Sports 1360 is a Clear Channel station, so it was logical for 1360 to insist Rome switch to its air.
"A lot of news in sports happens from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., so it made sense for Lee Hamilton to go in that slot, report the breaking news and bang a lot of calls," Evans said. "Lee's a savvy guy, and we wanted his energy opposite Rome.
"Darren's Smith's show is more interview oriented while Lee's is caller driven.
"Listeners driving home can get two or three interviews from Darren, and I think Darren can wrap up the day in sports while people are winding down their day.
"Then John Kentera comes in at the end of the insanity and puts it all together.
"Instead of the way it had always been, this lineup makes a lot of sense to me. Plus, it makes a lot of sense during baseball season.
"This season Darren was working two hours, Lee came in for two hours, then Darren was back for two hours on the 'BP Show'.
"Now both guys will work four hours, all in a row."
At 1360, program director Brian Wilson's lineup includes a pairof Fox Sports Radio national shows to start the day, followed bythree local shows, then national shows to close out theevening.
Dan Patrick has the 6-9 a.m. slot with Rome doing his usual 9 a.m.-noon gig.
The first local show is Chris Ello, who moves back to the noon-3 p.m. slot, where he'll work with Ben Higgins.
Ello had a tendency to filibuster through his three hours, barely taking a breath. Higgins will help that show tremendously.
The "Chargers Power Hour" follows from 3-4 p.m. with JoshRosenberg teaming with Charod Williams from 4-7 p.m.
"We're excited to have Rome on board," Wilson said. "And we're excited about teaming Ello and Higgins. We had a lot of really good feedback on Ben (when he was doing a noon-3 p.m. show), so we decided to team Chris and Ben to build up our midday."
XTRA Sports 1360 has been on the air three years, but has always chased 1090 in the ratings.
Buoyed by a Padres pennant run, 1090 enjoyed a great summer.
In men-35 plus, the target audience for both stations, 1090 did a 6.6 rating in the morning while 1360 did an 0.6.
In middays, 1090 did a 6.9 and 1360 a 1.9. The drivetime numbers were 6.7 for 1090 and 0.7.
At night -- with the Padres -- 1090 did a 9.3 and 1360 an 0.8.
"I really don't like to comment on ratings numbers," Wilson said. "But I feel some momentum. I feel people are finding us.
"We're starting to market the station a little bit.
"We're chugging along, but we're in this for the long haul."
ESPN finds a home
ESPN Radio has landed on San Diego 1700, starting Monday.
The sister station of 1090, will carry ESPN's national programming with those same programs available to 1090 overnight and on weekends.
Plus, both stations will be able to carry ESPN's extensiveplay-by-play lineup, which includes all postseason baseball,including the World Series.
XX 1090 had been affiliated with Sporting News Radio while 1360 continues to work with Fox Sports Radio.

Schumacher's condition is critical, but stable
1 January 2014 – Michael Schumacher's condition has been stable in the last 24 hours according to his spokesperson Sabine Kehm at Grenoble's hospital. His condition is still critical though Kehm told a small group of journalists at the hospital on Wednesday morning.
Schumacher was taken into Grenoble's hospital on Sunday following his skiing incident in France and has been placed in an induced coma after suffering brain swelling and bruising in the incident.
There won't be a press conference being held today, but his spokesperson Sabine Kehm will keep the media informed in the upcoming days ahead.

A charming little town at the confluence of the Meuse, Mehaigne and Hoyoux Rivers, about halway between Namur and Liege.
And it was ...
A huge thank you to Lut, who kidnapped me yesterday and spent 36 hours introducing me to some of Belgium's beautiful places.
I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.

Huy sounds like a must-see on the Belgian tourist trail, but I'm ashamed to admit I've never even heard about it... Goes to show once again how little Flemish people know about Wallonia (and vice versa). On my next trip home I'll try to squeeze in a visit!

'Think she enjoyed it' HAH, it was fantastic ... I can still imagine those perfect slices of hare and that venison and the wine. Belgian cuisine is so very very good!
As for the scenary and the history well ... yes Inge, you need to make a little time for it next time you're home and if you like, you're welcome to come visit us in Antwerpen.
I'm the same about NZ, I know the South Island like the back of my hand but the North Island is full of mysteries :)

Black, White and Glossy
Here is a quick card with "Wild at Heart". I stamp it in black onto glossy white, the glossy paper makes it hard to photograph without catching the glare, but in real life this print looks super sharp and crisp and on the ultra smooth specialty paper, which also intensifies the contrast of the black and white. put them together with some gingham and Wild Dandelion Pure Luxury, and you just have a happy happy combo!
I added a little green copic to the stems and yellow to the flower centers, can't color it much more quickly than that1 I left the petals white because white daisies and gingham are my favorite "country" look. I sponged a little yellow ink around the deckled edge die to make it pop. I haven't used these dies much yet, but I think they go very well with the feel of this set. The simple layout allows you to add a ribbon and have your greeting or another stamped image in a strategic spot that is pleasing design wise, but also doesn't hide the flowers in the background. This sweet little sentiment I found when creating the set is just perfect for someone celebrating a birthday and looking to the possibilities of the year ahead...
Hope you are having a great start to your week! :)

I tried the tea 2 times and, unfortunately,I don't find it really tasty. I taste the white tea well, but that's about it. Maybe I should put more tea in my teaball? I was expecting a fruity tea and it's not what I'm getting. What do you guys do for it to be tasty??? I'm still giving an okay note (60), because the it is not bad, but it's really not what it announces. In my case, at least…
I will try again with more tea in the teaball and update the note.
8 months later we are. I find myself looking at my tea collection to see which ones I'm not gonna keep. My mother loves tea, but she doesn't mind about the fruity taste. As long as it tastes tea. In my case, I don't really like the taste of tea alone. I prefer when it's flavored. So when I buy a tea and I find a lack of fruit, flower, chocolate (or whatever kind it is) flavor, I give it to my mother.
Anyway, back to the story. So I see this tea in my collection and I think about why I didn't like it at first. I was expecting a lot of fruit flavor and I was disappointed. Having lowered my expectations a lot, I decide to try this tea with, in mind, the idea that I won't like it more than before. THE-DISCOVERY. It's good! I caught myself driking it again and again. Since I wasn't expecting all that fruity flavor anymore, I wasn't disappointed. The fruits are there, but just slightly. That's okay for me now. I will boost the note because I think it deserves it. In fact, I'm giving it a 90.

The best thing about the Heat is no longer that they have LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh.
It's that Mike Miller used to have a pet monkey, and that monkey once broke out of his house and rode one of his dogs around the neighborhood, and Miller eventually had to get rid of him on account of the two being too close.
This happened sometime between 2001, when Miller actually posed with his little Java Macaque "Sonny" in his (hysterical) official NBA photos, and 2003 when he left Orlando. But if there's one thing that never gets old, it's a monkey riding a Great Dane.
I left the house one day when I was in Orlando and I got a call later from my neighbor, who said that my dogs and monkey were walking around the neighborhood. I had put the monkey up in his room and shut his door and put the dogs outside. But sure enough, when I got home, my monkey was riding the Great Dane and they were walking up and down the street. He had unlocked his door, gone downstairs and opened the door for the dogs and taken them for a walk.
Amazing. Like The Basketball Jones points out, we just don't talk about this enough, and should probably bring it up at least once or twice a day.
Sonny had his own room in Miller's home, though Miller said "I didn't have no kids, so he got to post up wherever he wanted." The little guy ate grapes from the fridge, played billiards with his hands, and wore preemie diapers from which the 6'8" forward would lovingly cut holes in the shape of a tail.
Miller eventually had to get rid of Sonny because when his son was born he and his wife feared jealousy might cause the monkey to harm the baby. But the dog-riding story need never, ever die.

Iran A former Iranian president warned the West on Friday that its support for Israel would backfire, as hundreds of thousands of people staged rallies in support of Muslim claims to the holy city of Jerusalem.
Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who is still considered influential in Iranian politics, said the U.S., Britain and France back Israel - and this is dangerous.
"They will put themselves in trouble, eventually," Rafsanjani said during a Friday prayer ceremony in Tehran marking "Al-Quds Day." Al-Quds is the Arabic word for Jerusalem.
Israel could "take tougher and more offensive action" than the United States against Iran and the Arab world, Rafsanjani warned.
State-run television also aired clips on Friday featuring hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in New York. The president, who is in the U.S. for the U.N. General Assembly meeting, said Israel does not have support among ordinary people in America.

The International Court of Justice in The Hague has begun hearings in mutual claims of genocide brought by neighbours Croatia and Serbia.
In 1999 Croatia launched a suit blaming Yugoslavia -- which later became Serbia and Montenegro, and then Serbia -- for the war-time deaths, detention, expulsion and torture of Croatian citizens, and the destruction of property.
Croatia says the alleged acts amount to ethnic cleansing.
Yugoslav National Army forces fought in the Croatian war, after it declared independence from Yugoslavia in the early 1990s.
Serbia has responded with a countersuit, saying some 200,000 ethnic Serbs were forced to flee in 1995 when Croatian troops launched a military operation to retake occupied territory.
Lawyer William Schabas is an international war crimes expert assisting the Serbian government at the United Nations' highest court.
He's told Kristina Kukolja genocide is a difficult crime to prove.

Cancer has been traditionally classified based on the organ site of origin; breast cancer is different from prostate cancer which is distinct from lung cancer and so on. Over the past several years however, cancer research has introduced reclassification of tumors based on the signaling pathway(s) that causes malignant transformation. As a result, medical oncologists can prescribe drugs that specifically target the aberrant signaling pathway irrespective of the location of the tumor.
Modern cancer therapeutics have therefore become "targeted" rather than "systemic." This has brought upon a significant paradigm shift in medical treatment decisions and spurred oncology research to identify biomarkers indicative of signaling pathway activation. The Kani research group utilizes state-of-the-art proteomic techniques in order to identify and characterize novel cancer biomarkers. Our work focuses on the androgen receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor signaling axes in prostate, lung, breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers. Our goal is to enhance patient outcome by empowering medical oncologist with tools and knowledge necessary for personalized medicine.

The Battle of the Asgard Legacy occurred in 2007 during the Ori crusade.
The Odyssey was summoned to Orilla by the Asgard to receive a massive upgrade of all Asgard technology as well as receiving all the Asgard's knowledge. The ship received an Asgard computer core, presumably newly improved shields, and Asgard plasma beam weapons, among other upgrades. However, being able to detect the new Asgard upgrades through subspace, three Ori warships became aware of their location and emerged from hyperspace to attack. (SG1: "Unending")
The BattleEdit
- "I am for fighting to the death, but we need a plan, preferably one that avoids the to the death part."
- ―Cameron Mitchell[src]
The Odyssey ran for it being chased by three Ori warships while the Asgard self-destructed Orilla. After sustaining several direct hits, the Odyssey used its new Asgard plasma beam weapons and quickly penetrated the Ori ship's shields, destroying one Ori warship with minimal damage to the Odyssey while it escaped into hyperspace.
After briefly exiting hyperspace, due to an abnormality in the Asgard hyperdrive, they were immediately attacked by 2 Ori warships. The Odyssey sustained several direct hits before retreating back into hyperspace.
Faced with being destroyed by 2 Ori ships and with a hyperdrive failure eminent, the Odyssey exited hyperspace over P3X-474. After beaming the crew to the surface, with the exception of SG-1 and Major General Henry Landry, Odyssey engaged the Ori ships, firing on only one target at a time. The Odyssey destroyed one more ship before losing shields and taking heavy damage. Not being able to survive one more blast, Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter erected a time dilation field around the Odyssey, seconds before being impacted by an Ori energy beam weapon.
After spending 50 years in the time dilation field, Carter found a way to reverse the field to the time they activated it, and a way to quickly separate the hyperdrive controls from the Asgard computer core. Back to moments before the field was erected, the Odyssey was able to enter hyperspace, leaving the remaining Ori ship over P3X-474, and returned to Earth. (SG1: "Unending")
After the Odyssey arrived back at Earth, they quickly were able to duplicate most of the Asgard technology, such as Asgard plasma beam weapons and the Asgard computer core. These advancements were later installed aboard all other Earth battleships, which gave them a significant advantage over most space-faring races and ultimately helped the Atlantis expedition defeat the Asurans once and for all. (SG1: "Unending", SGA: "Be All My Sins Remember'd")

Should the short no longer be embedded below, it is still easily available online — but on a website in a language we don't understand: it can be watched online at this Russian website here.
In January 2010, the Short Film of the Month was by a graduate of Cal Arts; this month, the film chosen is an old classic by an instructor at Cal Arts, Suzan Pitt. I first caught this film many, many, many moons ago, back when I was still a young virgin who shaved once or twice a week at most. I saw it when it was shown as the opening film at a midnight screening at some theater in Georgetown, a neighborhood of Washington DC where rich white folks and college students live. I was much too stoned or drunk at the time (I confess, I smoked my first wacky weed in 3rd grade) to really comprehend what the film was about — if that is really possible — and the fact that the theater was simply playing some loud music as part of the pre-feature-film happening (instead of the film's track) didn't make it any easier to follow short, but the images kept my eyes on the screen. It was art, man! On top of that, it was pretty fucking weird to a stoned 16-year-old — as it probably is to many a person no matter what their age and stoned or not. Like, how many women crap without cleaning butt afterwards? But then, how many women crap asparagus?
Asparagus is also available on a DVD anthology of three shorts by Suzan Pitt entitled EL DOCTOR, JOY STREET, AND ASPARAGUS: The Wonderfully Strange & Surreal Animation of Suzan Pitt.

Bishop Loughlin has heard the critiques and points before – just never like this.
The Lions had a special guest in their locker room following a 59-53 loss to New Jerse power St. John Vianney at A New Year's Resolution at John F. Kennedy (Paterson, N.J.) on Saturday. Following coach Kasim Alston's post game speech, former New York Liberty star Kym Hampton, who was seeing Loughlin for the first time this season, was brought in by assistant coach Jahar Vann and told the players exactly what she saw.
"That means we really have to change things," junior wing Imani Tate said. "We hear it from people all the time that comes to our games, but hearing it from her was different."
Hampton told the players that they needed to take care of the little things they had control of. That meant getting back on defense, communicating so players aren't left open, really boxing out and dribbling up the middle and not the sidelines among others things. At one point she told them, "You have moments of brilliance and moments of lapses." That was certainly apparent against the Lancers.
"They killed us more than ever," Alston said.
Just how quick a turnaround it can be was seen late in the third quarter and into the fourth. Vianney opened up a 13-point lead with 3:06 left to play in the third and then things clicked for the Lions (4-3) behind Tate. She scored 15 of her 21 points in the second half and grabbed six rebounds. Tate scored six of Loughlin's points during a 9-0 run. She hit two acrobatic layups in transition to pull her team within 39-35 heading into the fourth.
"We were just playing harder," said Tate, who is getting a plethora of high Division I looks. "We were more aggressive on defense and that led to our offense."
The Lancers (6-2), who had a 10-0 run fueled by Loughlin turnovers and missed shots to start the second quarter, tallied the first four points of the fourth as the Lions had two turnovers on their first three possessions. Loughlin wasn't done. It pulled within 47-46 with 4:00 remaining in the game after a 3-pointer by Nyree Alston, an Ayanna Ratliff steal and a Tate layup. Vianney, which lost to Bishop Ford earlier this season, made its free throws down the stretch to hold on for the win.
Junior post Olivia Colbert continued her strong play on the boards and scored 10 points. Nyree Alston added eight points and cousin Jasmine Alston dished out eight assists and was a catalyst for much of Loughlin's good fortune. Katie Beriont led Vianney with 11 points. Kat Egan had 10 and Angelica Esposito added seven. Loughlin faces East Orange Campus (N.J.) 4:30 p.m. Sunday back at Kennedy.
"It's a learning experience that should prepare us for our league games," Alston said.
That's exactly what Hampton provided for the Lions in the hallways after.
"It means a lot," Colbert said. "To know that an outside can some in and see the same things our coaches are telling us it means we really have to work hard on it. It's not just our coaches making it up or anything."

Arc-flash detection relay minimizes dangerous arc-fault energy
Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories Inc. (SEL) offers arc-flash detection (AFD) capability in the SEL-751A Feeder Protection Relay, providing automatic protection against dangerous arc-flash events. See photo.
|Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories Inc. (SEL) offers arc-flash detection (AFD) capability in the SEL-751A Feeder Protection Relay .
Pullman, WA – Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories Inc. (SEL) offers arc-flash detection (AFD) capability in the SEL-751A Feeder Protection Relay, providing fully automatic protection against dangerous arc-flash events. Without AFD, the arc flash can cause severe personal injury, extensive equipment damage, and lengthy system outages. In contrast, AFD interrupts power to the arc flash before it can cause significant damage. Anyone with metal-clad switchgear will benefit from using the SEL-751A with AFD.
The SEL-751A AFD solution uses fiber-optic, arc-flash light sensors to detect the light produced by an arc-flash event. To prevent false tripping, the SEL-751A looks for an overcurrent that coincides with the light flash. When both conditions are met, the SEL-751A sends a trip signal to the circuit breaker in as fast as 2 ms. This fast tripping significantly reduces the damage-causing energy released by the arc-flash event.
"As a result of new NESC and NFPA requirements, many utilities and industrial companies are looking for ways to mitigate arc-flash hazards. The SEL-751A can reduce these hazards by stopping an arc-flash event before it escalates into a catastrophic, high-energy event," said SEL R&D Manager Angelo D'Aversa.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Comments about Adrianne Granger
Best Poem of Adrianne Granger
Courage is the voice that makes you fight,
On the stormy starless nights.
Undeterred by friend or foe,
Rain nor snow can dim its glow.
And even when defeat seems near,
Great is its strength, it ne'er lets you fear
Even in the face of harsh despair.
(the first alphabet of each line forms the word 'courage')

The first set pictures from Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan have gone online.
In the director's latest, Natalie Portman plays Nina, a veteran ballet dancer, whose world is shaken when a new rival hits the scene.
Mila Kunis is playing the rival, with the fantastical element that she may or may not be a figment of Nina's imagination. Winona Ryder is also attached.
Aronofsky wowed critics with Mickey Rourke comeback The Wrestler , so fingers crossed that Black Swan will be something special.

Looking forward to Aronofsky tackling ballet? Or just keen to see Portman and Kunis go head-to-head? Comment now!

Hunter Hayes, 'Somebody's Heartbreak' – Song Review
What's remarkable about Hunter Hayes's three singles -- including his newest, 'Somebody's Heartbreak' -- is the consistency. There is nothing amateur about this country newcomer. All three fly flat along a bar raised high above the reach of many Nashville singers, both young and old.
