What can really make the difference in conversions and amount of sales is without a doubt the freedom to share your own wishlist, even on social networks, increasing indirect sales: can you imagine the sales volume you can generate during holidays or birthdays, when relatives and friends will be looking for the wishlist of your clients to buy a gift?
Offer to your visitors a chance to add the products of your woocommerce store to a wishlist page. With YITH WooCommerce Wishlist you can add a link in each product detail page,
in order to add the products to the wishlist page. The plugin will create you the specific page and the products will be added in this page and
afterwards add them to the cart or remove them.

Capturas de pantalla
- Unzip the downloaded zip file.
- Upload the plugin folder into the
wp-content/plugins/directory of your WordPress site.
- Activate
YITH WooCommerce Wishlistfrom Plugins page
YITH WooCommerce Wishlist will add a new submenu called "Wishlist" under "YIT Plugins" menu. Here you are able to configure all the plugin settings.
- Can I customize the wishlist page?
Yes, the page is a simple template and you can override it by putting the file template "wishlist.php" inside the "woocommerce" folder of the theme folder.
- Can I move the position of "Add to wishlist" button?
Yes, you can move the button to another default position or you can also use the shortcode inside your theme code.
- Can I change the style of "Add to wishlist" button?
Yes, you can change the colors of background, text and border or apply a custom css. You can also use a link or a button for the "Add to wishlist" feature.
- Wishlist page returns a 404 error?
Try to regenerate permalinks from Settings -> Permalinks by simply saving them again.
- Did icons of your theme disappear after update to Wishlist 2.0.x?
It might be a compatibility problem with the old version of font-awesome, which has been solved with version 2.0.2 of the plugin. Be sure that you are using a plugin version that is greater or equal to 2.0.2. If, after update, you cannot see icons in your theme yet, save again options of YITH WooCommerce Wishlist plugin (that you can find in YIT Plugin -> Wishlist).
- Have you encountered anomalies after plugin update, that did not exist in the previous version?
This might depend on the fact that your theme overrides plugin templates. Check if the developer of your theme has released a compatibility update with version 2.0 or later of YITH WooCommerce Wishlist. As an alternative you can try the plugin in WordPress default theme to leave out any possible influences by the theme.
- I am currently using Wishlist plugin with Catalog Mode enabled in my site. Prices for products should disappear, yet they still appear in the wishlist page. Can I remove them?
Yes, of course you can. To avoid Wishlist page to show product prices, you can hide price column from wishlist table. Go to YIT plugins -> wishlist -> settings and disable option "Show Unit price".
- What are the main changes in plugin translation?
Recently YITH WooCommerce Wishlist has been selected to be included in the "translate.wordpress.org" translate programme.
In order to import correctly the plugin strings in the new system, we had to change the text domain from 'yit' to 'yith-woocommerce-wishlist'.
Once the plugin is imported into the translate.wordpress.org system, the translations of other languages will be downloadable directly from WordPress, without using any .po and .mo files. Moreover, users will be able to participate in a more direct way to plugin translations, suggesting texts in their languages in the dedicated tab on translate.wordpress.org.
During this transition step, .po and .mo files will be used as usual, but in order to be recognized by WordPress, they must have a new nomenclature and be renamed as:
yith-woocommerce-wishlist-<WORDPRESS LOCALE>.po
yith-woocommerce-wishlist-<WORDPRESS LOCALE>.mo
If your theme overrides plugin templates, it might happen that they are still using the old textdomain ('yit'), which is no longer used as reference for translation.
If you are experiencing problems with translation of your YITH WooCommerce Wishlist and the theme you are using includes wishlist templates (such as add-to-wishlist.php,
add-to-wishlist-button.php, wishlist-view,php), you could try to update them with the most recent version included in the plugin
(never forget to make a copy of your project before you apply any change).
If you want to keep customisations applied by the theme to wishlist templates (still using the old textdomain), then,
you should ask theme developers to update custom templates and replace the old textdomain with the most recent one.

Yu Darvish a Yankee? Yu Betcha!
This was a boring weekend, I'm not going to lie. This was really the first weekend without baseball that really sank in; I mean we had the parade last week, but this weekend there was really nothing, especially with my scuffling New York Football Giants on their bye week.
So I have basically been looking around at free agents and top prospects for the last 48 hours, as you might have seen from my last blog about Aroldis Chapman
Another name caught my eye and like Chapman, may or may not be a good fit in pinstripes. I guess it all depends on what he wants to do and the decisions he makes.
This prospective major leaguer's name is Yu Darvish.
Darvish is a 23 year-old right hander from Osaka, Japan and has played his entire career in the Far East. And so far he has been very impressive, posting a lifetime record of 61-22 with a 2.14 ERA in the Nippon Professional Baseball league in Japan.
Pretty good record and ERA if I do say so myself, especially considering Darvish has only been a pro since 2005.
Not only that, but he has been scouted since junior high school; different schools wanted Darvish before he even reached the high school level and he opted to go to Tohoku High School, the same school that produced major leaguers Kazuhiro Sasaki (formerly of the Seattle Mariners) and Takashi Saito (currently of the Red Sox)
After high school (where he shined by the way, posting a career ERA of 1.10 with 375 strikeouts in 332 1/3 innings) he was drafted by the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters.
And with the Fighters he has been so good, he has earned two All-Star selections, the 2007 Pacific League Most Valuable Player award, and proving he can field his position, he has won two Golden Glove Awards (the equivalent of our Gold Glove award)
Obviously he has got game.
In terms of pitch selection, Darvish features a fastball that has maxed out at 98 mph, a hard slider with table-dropping break, a curve ball, a fork ball, a cutter, and a changeup. Darvish's go-to pitch is his sinker and he has also tried out a knuckleball, but does not utilize it on a consistent basis.
Talk about having a vast arsenal of weapons. I guess most Japanese pitchers do, though; before Daisuke Matsuzaka came to this country none of us knew what a gyro ball was!
It depends on what Darvish wants to do; he has been scouted by MLB teams before, even when he was in high school. The Angels, Mets, Dodgers, and Braves have all tried to get him. He just felt his allegiance should stay in Japan, so he opted to stay there.
But I've been hearing some rumors about him coming over to the U.S. and if and when he does, should the Yankees take a look at him or try and get him?
It looks worth it. I mean with Chapman it's different; he is good, but no one really knows a lot about him except that he has defected from Cuba, wants to pitch for MLB, and throws hard. With Darvish they have a variety of (really good) numbers to look at along with a five-year career in Japan.
Like I said, it's only a matter of his choice–does he want to pitch here or stay in Japan?
He is much different than the other pitchers the Yankees have gotten from Japan in the past; I think he would be a lot better than Hideki Irabu and Kei Igawa. I think he already is, actually; neither Irabu nor Igawa were as big as Darvish currently is in their home country. Darvish is a spokesperson for coffee over there!
And…well…at least I'm certain Darvish wouldn't get called a "fat toad" by the Yankees' owner, as Irabu did, or be in the minor leagues as Igawa is right now.
Not to mention he has at least had some experience pitching against hitters from the United States. In the World Baseball Classic this year, Darvish tossed a scoreless inning in the semi-final game vs. the U.S., allowing no runs on a single and striking out two batters en route to Japan's 9-4 win over the U.S.
It may not be much experience against U.S. batters, but it's something.
Darvish just has all the history and accolades already in place; great numbers throughout his career and multiple honors, unlike many other Japan-born hurlers. I know Japanese pitchers have not been very kind to the Yanks in the past, but this time would be different, if it even happens.
Would I accept Darvish as a Yankee? Yu betcha!

For a first time kill, is it advised to kill the red orbs the final phase, or just straight out burn him?
For a first time kill, is it advised to kill the red orbs the final phase, or just straight out burn him?
To be honest we don't even bother switching to phase two orbs. Assuming you are three healing and make sure to give your tank plenty of attention, no one should die assuming proper cooldown usage.
Aerzara, Discipline Priest
<Modest> 14/14H - US 2nd 10m Guild
We ignore them after 20% boss HP.
We blow hero after 1st orb. If it's an Anima Orb we kill it and I (Hunter, deterrence) soak it. After that we just burn the boss down and ignore orbs. Bear in mind he dies at around 5.5% HP.
If the 1st orb in last phase is a Vita, we ignore and go straight to the burn.
The fight will end faster if you kill red orbs (above a certain health %) and can effectively soak them. Each one that hits increases his health by 10%; e.g., if his health is at 30% and the orb hits, he'll still be at 30% health, but his health value will be that of if he were at 33% before the orb hit.
However, you can just completely ignore them and be fine on 10m. The phase will just last longer, but your healers should have no problem handling it at current gear levels. You could do the same on 25m, but his health will overflow and bug at 1/1 hp if too many hit before you kill him.
Legion Destro Guide | Active Developer of EventHorizon Continued
Armory | Mythic Kill Videos! | Twitch Live Stream (mostly farm)
TLDR; You lose more DPS by swapping targets to Orbs in Phase 2 than you "makeup" by preventing the heals, so just ignore them all and burn the boss, regardless of the Orb order.
Last edited by Kulldam; 2013-07-22 at 10:35 PM. Reason: Typo!
We did exactly this while 3 healing but lost 9 people on out fist descent attempt on phase 2 so the healing can be quite demanding (suspect this is because of the number of corrupted anim that spawn and get through) So anyway our protection paladin left alone at 12% and we were talking about adjustments for the next attempt while out tank just solo'd the remainder of Ra-dens hp...was epic cant wait for the guild video editor to post the fight.
Ha ha will do as soon as i think of another 5 things to say on this forum ><
It's important to note that the heal is not a true 10% of current hp. It's %-5.4 * .10, since he always is defeated at 5.4%.. i.e. keep in mind that when he eats the orb the amount of health you have to bring him down to also gets increased. Thus if he was at 30% and ate an orb, his "heal" is for 30-5.4 * .10 = 2.46% which as stated above, is insignificant enough to just not kill the orbs.
we went with, killing red orbs till he is at 20% and then ignore them and burn him.
We lusted at 40% and ignored all orbs. We also 3 healed as well. Burned him to about 20% when lust fell off and the rest was a joke. We grossly over gear it though. So if you're 540+, I'd just say ignore orbs all together. We'll be two healing next week to just end it quicker. Cool fight I guess? Only 24 attempts to kill it. Like everyone's said, huge let down after lei shen.
Are the ppl that are 3m healing it, doing it 1 or 2 tanks?
Three healing with a pally tank. Once he figured out the one single button to press before fatal strike(if not pressed, will one shot you :P) he rarely dipped below 30-40%.
EDIT: Huge plus if you have a monk tank. All they have to do is use their regular rotation, win.

The almost pit-like Rally Point map of Halo 3: ODST's firefight mode fills the smallish level with a never-ending stream of enemies and at least one Wraith tank.
The level had its first outing at Cologne's Gamescom this week, drawing crowds to Microsoft's booth to spend ten minutes each with the game in a four-person coop firefight.
ODST's firefight mode is Bungie's answer to Gears of War 2's horde mode, throwing never-ending waves of enemies at the four Orbital Drop Shock Troopers controlled by players.
The walled-off ODST area took up the largest section of Microsoft's Gamescom booth, allowing 32 players at a time to check out the game.
When I swung by this weekend, the main line into the area had a 45 minute wait. Xbox Live gold members were able to sign up to wait in a shorter line and after playing were giving a free hat or poster. Players who scored more than 15,000 points in the timed firefight were also given a Halo 3 backpack.
My ten minutes with the game netted me a mere 5,000 or so points and two deaths, but I didn't manage to bring down the Wraith that spent the early part of the firefight peppering us with plasma mortars.
As with the three other firefight maps already shown off in ODST, Rally Point is drawn from an area in the single-player campaign. Because the maps have the potential to weaken the single-player experience if seen early, Bungie has been very tight-lipped about how many there are in total.
Rally Point is set in sector 10 of New Mombasa. This piece of the city forms a natural crossroads, making certain parts of the relatively small map killing zones. The spawn point for players is in a bunker of sorts that opens up onto the map near a series of plateaus leading down to the ground. There are also some rooms higher up on the map where covenant troops can spawn and flank what initially appears to be a relatively defendable position.
The bunker spawn point has areas for grabbing extra ammo and grenades. There are also mounted weapons that can be manned or pulled off to help mow down incoming troops.
The initial wave of enemies come from drop ships, but as the level progresses enemies begin to spawn in those rooms at the top of the map, forcing the four players to move back and forth between the high and low ends of the map to prevent getting flanked.
It's a map perfectly suited for the four-player coop mode, providing enough cover and enough enemy access points to create a difficult, but not impossible challenge.
The key to survival, as with any map in this mode, is to remember to stick together, something that becomes increasingly difficult as enemies begin to spawn at different ends of the map.
I've only played two of the Firefight maps so far, but this was my favorite because it felt a bit more like an arena than a big rectangle with a monster closet on one end.
Check out our Bungie-guided tour of the three other maps if you're interested in the coop that ODST has to offer when it hits the Xbox 360 in September.

The Fine Print
As the chair of the Tea Party Caucus, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R – Minn.) is railing against the IRS's targeting of Tea Party groups, saying: "clearly, this had political implications…that would benefit President Obama."
"Over and over and over, the common thread is the Obama administration was too willing to use the government to advance their agenda, their political agenda," Bachmann tells The Fine Print.
Bachmann says individuals in the Tea Party have been voicing concerns to her about getting "ridiculous questions" from the IRS for quite some time and asserts that other groups, in addition to the Tea Party, were also targeted.
"The IRS couldn't do enough to part the waters to make sure that every progressive, left-wing leaning organization got their new tax-exempt status," she says. "So they were able to get a favorable tax treatment, while Christians, pro Israel, conservative, Tea Partiers, pro-growth, pro-job, pro-business, they were hurt."
The congresswoman says the recent controversy highlights her broader concerns that the IRS may gain access to people's medical information under the Affordable Care Act.
"When people realize that their most personal, sensitive, intimate, private healthcare information is in the hands of the IRS that's been willing to use people's tax information against political opponents of this administration, then people have pause and they pull back in horror," Bachmann says.
The Obama administration has refuted the claim that the IRS will handle people's medical records, but Bachmann is not convinced. The long-time critic of the president's health care plan led a vote in the House last week calling for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
"Well the ball is in Harry Reid's court now, because the House of Representatives has done its part," Bachmann says of the measure that passed the House, but is not expected to gain traction in the Senate.
While the former presidential candidate says she isn't thinking about running for president again, she isn't exactly ruling it out either, saying: "you never know."
"My calculus never has been about politics," Bachmann says. "It's really about the issues. And I will tell you, the reason why I ran for president is because I knew I had the backbone and the spine to repeal Obamacare."
For more of the interview with Bachmann, and to hear why she thinks there would be a "cultural earthquake" if the Supreme Court moves to legalize gay marriage, check out this episode of The Fine Print.
ABC's Eric Wray, John Parkinson, Omar Quinonez, and Pat French contributed to this episode.

You know, the overall process was a very good team project.
You know, we were not sure what we were going to encounter, but overall the team was able, allowing us to one, focus on our strengths but also show us the weaknesses.
So at the end of the day, we could find ways to speed up the process.
And, from an overall perspective, we were doing work, the traditional jewelry process and then today we came out to what we call Lean manufacturing process.
So, working with North Lake College and their team, you know, allowed us to basically take a process time of about three weeks to cut it into days, to about three days on average.
So, we're able to focus on our client.
Able to be proactive versus reactive.
And it also allowed our team members to take pride in their own work.
It gave, it brought back accountability to where it needed to be at the individual level.
And also, now we work as a team.
So overall, it was a great process.

WASHINGTON — Top White House aide Karl Rove has been told by prosecutors he won't be charged with any crimes in the investigation into the leak of a CIA officer's identity, his lawyer said Tuesday, lifting a heavy burden from one of President Bush's most trusted advisers.
Attorney Robert Luskin said that special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald informed him of the decision on Monday, ending months of speculation about the fate of Rove, the architect of Bush's 2004 re-election now focused on stopping Democrats from capturing the House or Senate in this November's elections.
Fitzgerald has already secured a criminal indictment against Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
Bush called Fitzgerald "a very thorough person" who conducted the investigation in a dignified way.
"It's a chapter that has ended," Bush told reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington from Baghdad. "I think it's going to be important for you all to recognize there's still a trial to be had. And those of us involved in the White House are going to be very mindful of not commenting on this issue ... because of the Libby trial."
The announcement cheered Republicans and a White House beleaguered by war and low approval ratings. Mark Corallo, a spokesman for Rove, said Rove "is elated" and said that "we're done."
No comment on the investigation
Fitzgerald met with chief U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan before he notified Rove. Hogan has been overseeing the grand juries in the CIA leak case. Fitzgerald's spokesman, Randall Samborn, declined comment. Asked if the CIA leak investigation is still continuing, Samborn said, "I'm not commenting on that as well at this time."
The prosecutor called Luskin late Monday afternoon to tell him he would not be seeking charges against Rove. Rove had just gotten on a plane, so his lawyer and spokesman did not reach him until he had landed in Manchester, N.H., where he was to give a speech to state GOP officials.
"We believe the special counsel's decision should put an end to the baseless speculation about Mr. Rove's conduct," Luskin said.
Fitzgerald has been investigating whether senior administration officials intentionally leaked the identity of CIA undercover operative Valerie Plame in retribution because her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, sharply criticized the administration's pursuit of war in Iraq.
Rove testified five times before a grand jury, most recently in April. He has admitted he spoke with columnist Robert Novak and Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper in the days before they published Plame's name in July 2003.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
Rove, however, did not originally tell prosecutors about his conversation with Cooper, revealing it only after his lawyer discovered a White House e-mail that referred to it.
Rove blamed faulty memory
Fitzgerald was investigating whether Rove lied or obstructed justice in failing to initially disclose the conversation. The presidential aide blamed a faulty memory and sought to testify before the grand jury after finding the e-mail to correct his testimony.
The threat of indictment had hung over Rove, even as Rove was focusing on the arduous task of halting Bush's popularity spiral and keeping Democrats from capturing the House or Senate in November elections.
Fitzgerald's investigation has been under way since the start of the 2004 election, and the decision not to indict Rove is certain to buoy Republicans, who also got good news in the last week with the military's killing of most-wanted Iraq terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
"The fact is this, I thought it was wrong when you had people like Howard Dean and (Sen.) Harry Reid presuming that he was guilty," Republican Party Chairman Ken Mehlman told Fox News Channel's "Fox and Friends" show Tuesday morning.
Democrats, on the other hand, had no reason to cheer.
"He doesn't belong in the White House. If the president valued America more than he valued his connection to Karl Rove, Karl Rove would have been fired a long time ago," said Dean, the Democratic Party chairman, speaking Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show. "So I think this is probably good news for the White House, but it's not very good news for America."
Bush's support system
Rove has been at Bush's side since his days as Texas governor and was the architect of Bush's two presidential election victories. Rove assumed new policy responsibilities inside the White House in 2005 as deputy chief of staff. Earlier this year, as part of the shake-up brought by new White House chief of staff Joshua Bolten, Rove shed those policy-making duties to return to full time politics.
Fitzgerald's case against Libby is moving toward trial, as the two sides work through pretrial issues such as access to classified documents.
Libby, 55, was charged last October with lying to the FBI and a federal grand jury about how he learned and when he subsequently told three reporters about Plame. He faces five counts of perjury, false statements and obstruction of justice.
With Rove's fate now decided, other unfinished business in Fitzgerald's probe focuses on the source who provided Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward information about Plame.
Woodward says his source, whom he has not publicly identified, provided the information about Wilson's wife, several weeks before Novak learned of Plame's identity. The Post reporter, who never wrote a story, was interviewed by Fitzgerald late last year.

A few years ago, I installed a solid wood "pocket" sliding door for my workshop. It's on an exterior wall, so I had to add some thick sealing strips that keep the cold air from Wisconsin winters outside. As a result of the heavy material and tight-fitting strips, the door can be a bit of a bear to open – especially with one hand.
Last summer, just when I was about to remove the stripping, I spotted a garage door opener at the flea market and had an idea. A few days and a couple gears later, and I had a door that would slide open and closed very quickly through a foot pedal (requiring zero hands) or an outdoor keypad.
Just recently, however, I've been having a few obnoxious electrical issues. About halfway through the door opening, a breaker will trip… losing all power. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal to diagnose, but the wiring is a bit weird.
I have two electrical mains (the garage requires a separate electrical company account being on a separate property), but the previous owner wired the house, garage, and workshop together so that you could turn outside and garage lights on/off from various switches.
Sometimes a breaker in the house will trip, and sometimes a breaker in the garage will trip. The workshop is supposed to be wired to the house's electrical line, but the house will trip about 30% of the time instead.
It's not a big deal to flip the breaker, but I'd like to figure out where my problem is so that I can use my sliding door like I have been.

CARSON, Calif. – Since the start of the season, the Los Angeles Galaxy have been focused on returning to MLS Cup and walking away with the glory that eluded them a year ago.
A critical part of their path towards MLS Cup 2010, however, is unrivaled regular-season success. For the club, that means nabbing the Supporters' Shield title.
As the Galaxy try and get back to their dominant first-half ways, players are focused on not only reaching the playoffs in fine form, but also claiming the league's best record and winning their first Supporters' Shield title since 2002.
WATCH: Donovan & Co. react to 1-1 tie in Chicago
"To me, that's an important thing," Galaxy captain Landon Donovan said. "Winning a championship is obviously the most important thing. There's a lot more respect around the league for the teams that do it from start to finish throughout the year."
Entering July, the Supporters' Shield seemed like a foregone conclusion for Los Angeles. Boasting an 11-1-3 after a July 4 win over Seattle, the Galaxy seemed to have an insurmountable lead in the race for the Shield.
The Galaxy, though, have gone 2-4-2 since, and coupled with strong summers from Columbus, Real Salt Lake and FC Dallas, they have watched their overall lead shrink. On Saturday, Columbus beat D.C. United, and combined with the Galaxy's 1-1 draw at Chicago, the two teams now sit even on 44 points.
"It's disappointing to let other teams close the gap," Donovan said. "I guess we're fortunate in that Real Salt Lake and Columbus have other games to play for the last part of the season, but we're not playing well enough right now to win it."
With their early-season success, though, the Galaxy were seemingly expected to continue playing at a high level while throttling their opponents and running the table.
But sitting atop the league is not necessarily a position LA have been accustomed to.
The Galaxy finished out of the playoffs three consecutive seasons before reaching MLS Cup '09. Even when winning MLS Cup '05, they finished fourth in the Western Conference standings.
"This team for four or five years has not been anywhere near this situation," Donovan said. "Even last year, we ended up finishing well, but we had to fight tooth and nail to get where we got.
"This year, we started really well. … A really mature, experienced team carries it through the whole season. We are having certain doubts because for us, it's a new experience. For now, we have to find a way to get back on track."
Having built up a lead only made the target on the Galaxy's back even bigger.
"Any athlete will tell you, the easiest part is getting there, because you're hungry and you have fire," Donovan said. "Once you get to the top, everyone else is shooting for you."

Alpine Ascents International leads expeditions that have become benchmarks of quality in the climbing community. We operate what we believe is the finest mountaineering school in the country. This expertise is based upon years of accumulated experience-not just from individual mountain guides, but through experience on particular mountains where details are fine-tuned over time.
Our guides are an integral part of Alpine Ascents because they understand and share our climbing principles. These individuals are dedicated to sharing their excellence with others. Many of our guides have been with Alpine Ascents for over five years, with a handful of veterans working with us for most of their careers. The quality of our Guide Staff is the primary difference between us and our competitors.
Leave No Trace principles are fundamental to our program, and we encourage all who climb and trek with us to understand proper wilderness practices. We help facilitate this effort by passing on Leave No Trace training and literature to every Alpine Ascents climber.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Having already brought in plenty of hardware this season, Georgia College tennis' senior Jerome Leborgne (Coordimanche, France) added another honor recently, being named Capital One Academic All-District.
Leborgne earned a spot on the District 3 list for Division II, including student-athletes from tennis, golf, fencing; gymnastics; ice hockey; lacrosse; rifle; skiing; swimming; volleyball; water polo; and wrestling in the PBC, South Atlantic Conference and Conference Carolinas.
Owning a 3.82 GPA in his undergrad degree in mathematics, Leborgne spent the 2011-12 academic year working on his Master's in Business Administration, where he had a 4.0 at the nomination deadline.
The No. 27 singles player in the country, Leborgne was a two-time All-Peach Belt Conference (PBC) singles player and a one-time doubles honoree as well. He recently received the school's top honor as Senior Male Athlete of the Year and was chosen the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Southeast Region Arthur Ashe Award winner.
Leborgne went 32-27 in spring singles action during his career, including a 38-28 mark in spring doubles as well. He is also a two-time PBC All-Academic selection.
He now moves on to the national Division II ballot, with Academic All-American winners to be announced later this month.
The Bobcats have wrapped up a 2012 season that saw GC go 12-9, earn the No. 5-seed in the PBC Tournament, and eventually fall in the Southeast Region No. 1 final. The Bobcats put a pairing on the All-PBC first team in doubles and added a second team singles player. The GC men have now made five straight trips to the NCAA Tournament.
The Capital One Division II and III Academic Allâ€ÂAmerica® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2011â€Â12 DII and DIII Academic Allâ€ÂAmerica® teams program.
Capital One, an NCAA Corporate Champion, began its affiliation with college sports with the sponsorship of the 2001 Capital One Florida Citrus Bowl (now the Capital One Bowl) and ESPN's Capital One Bowl Week. In 2010, Capital One launched the Capital One Cup, a prestigious new program rewarding NCAA Division I athletics programs for their cumulative onâ€Âfield performance across multiple men's and women's sports. In addition, Capital One sponsors the ABC College Football Halftime Report, Capital One Allâ€Â America Mascot Team, all 88 NCAA Championships including the Division I Men's and Women's Basketball Championships, and numerous other collegiate athletics programs.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Find Your Dream Puppy Today!
We will have more information regarding Yorkshire Terrier puppies on this page. Thank you for your interest in Puppy Select. In the meantime please feel free to visit our Store and view our available puppies.
More information coming soon about this breeds coat and color.
We, as a family, have always been dog owners. We have owned many breeds of dog and have had many champions; even world champion dogs from Europe and elsewhere. Not only conformation competitions but also were highly involved with working dogs. We even had a schutzhund club that would meet at our property several days per week.
We are an American-based company that has traveled across the continents to find quality dogs for our many customers, as well as for myself. We have a qualified dog finding team that works extensively across Europe, North America, and South America to find the perfect puppy for you. Our mission is to bring you a quality puppy that has been hand selected by members of our staff. Our staff is composed of FCI judges across the continents that inspect each puppy, and then licensed veterinarians inspect your puppy again. Our puppies will never come out of puppy mills like so many other internet companies or pet stores. We take the stress out of your puppy search and purchase.
The answer is no! It is our desire that everyone who wants a pet should have one. This is one of the reasons that we started this business. Nothing is more frustrating than purchasing a quality dog, then to be controlled by a breeder and their contract. If you purchase our puppies, you may or may not breed your dog, you may or may not show your dog as you wish. You will receive a full pedigree. We do however, reserve the right to act in the best interest of our puppies, and reserve the right to refuse service to a potential buyer.
Yes. We offer a health guarantee for all puppies. Please see the terms and conditions under our Purchase/Health Guarantee Contract. All buyers must sign the agreement with our terms and conditions prior to purchase.
Sire means that the father of your dog is a champion. Dam means that the mother if your dog is a champion. If it says "champion lines" it means that one or more of their ancestors were or are champions. Basically, you are getting a puppy that is a representation of the breed with good, solid bloodlines.
We offer dogs that are trained and certificated in many specialties.
*Search and Rescue (all terrains)
*Guide dogs for the Blind
*Therapeutic Dogs (assistance for people with disabilities)
*Certified Dog Helpers (assistance for people in wheel chairs)
*Hunting dogs
*Protection Trained (Schutzhund or IPO trained)
Contact us in regards to information in regards to any of these specialized dogs.
The answer is no. Puppies are generally not trained before arrival to you. For specific breeds, some training options may be available. Please contact us for further details.

As you know, my mother-in-law and I don't have the best relationship. The biggest bone of contention has been the living arrangements. Growing up, I imagined myself with a husband and two kids, maybe a dog, but in my perfect little Anglo world, I never considered that I'd have a mother-in-law living with me, too. In-laws and grandparents are supposed to live in their own house, usually a few states away – not down the hallway. Random uncles and cousins also are not supposed to "visit" for weeks or months at a time. When relatives visit, it's supposed to be for a few days and they're supposed to use a hotel – That is what my culture told me, anyway.
Well, in Latino culture, which I married into, "family" is not limited to Mom, Dad, Son and Daughter. Besides Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, (not to mention half-siblings in some cases), there's Grandmother, Grandfather, uncles and aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins and more cousins, not to mention everyone's in-laws. If that isn't enough family for you, there are Godparents, and other non-blood related people who get the honorary privilege of being called "familia."
I've become convinced that if Anglos have a "family tree" – Latinos have a "family forest."
And so for years I miserably asked myself the question, "Why does my mother-in-law want to live with us?" – but I should have been asking "Why would she NOT want to live with us?" Just as much as my culture taught me that this is a strange, uncomfortable living arrangement, hers taught her that this is completely normal and so my resistance to it was incomprehensible, and even deeply hurtful.
This does not excuse any of my mother-in-laws many (many!) faults, but I feel almost like a Zen monk reaching enlightenment for all of this to make sense after so many years – and not just make sense, but to be okay about it.
In my heart of hearts, sometimes I wish I had been able to live my married life in a normal Anglo household, but I would have missed out on so much, and so would my children. My Spanish would not be near as good as it is if I didn't have to communicate with my non-English speaking mother-in-law on a daily basis. I never would have learned how to pat a tortilla back-and-forth between my palms. I never would have heard the various childhood stories about my husband that she tells every now and then. I never would have gotten a glimpse into the psychology of what made my husband who he is due to her mothering, (the good and the bad.)
My children would never have heard silly folk songs like "Los Pollitos Dicen" – they would have only known of the Tooth Fairy and not of the Latin American equivalent, "Ratóncito Pérez", (though my husband insists when he was a child, they were too poor to pay him for his teeth so he didn't know of Ratóncito Pérez either.) My children never would have tasted the mangoes that their grandmother buys, which they love and I hate.
Now looking back, I realize that though my mother-in-law has caused her fair share of discord and misery at times, she also enriched our lives. I'm sure there will be days when it will be hard to remember that, days when I find cilantro leaves littering the kitchen floor that I just swept and mopped, days when I'm trying to write and she has a telenovela on in the living room at maximum volume, but in the end, I guess familia is what you make of it.
