Rag & Bone jeans
Khloe Kardashian in Rag & Bone Zipper Capri Jeans in Shredded
Khloe Kardashian was seen making her way through LAX Airport in Los Angeles, California. I feel like this is so many of the celebrities second homes, we are always seeing them at LAX!
Khloe chose to wear her Rag & Bone Zipper Capri jeans in Shredded with a long cardigan, a sheer grey tee and some ankle boots. I would say this is one of Khloe's signature looks and it's nice to see her repeating her jeans again. Buy these jeans from SHOPBOP.

Golnesa Gharachedaghi in Rag & Bone The Skinny in Sloane Plaid Repair
Golnesa Gharachedaghi was seen leaving the Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch with friends and some small pumpkins in Los Angeles, California.
Golnesa wore a pair of the Rag & Bone The Skinny jeans in Sloane Plaid Repair with a matching plaid shirt and some combat boots. I actually love this combination. I thought that pairing these jeans with more plaid might be an overload, but the fact that the shirt is tied and short, showing some skin to break it up, really helps. I actually love it! Buy these jeans online at Shopbop.com.

Ariana Grande in Rag & Bone Justine High Rise in Harrow
Ariana Grande was spotted making her way through LAX donning one of her signature retro inspired looks. She wore a pair of the Rag & Bone Justine High Rise in Harrow with some platform pumps and a crop top.
There is a strong '90s sense with hints of '50s in this look here. It makes me think of Drew Barrymore and Alyssa Milano in their 501s with a little Sandy from Grease feel with the tighter fit. I can definitely see Ariana wearing looks like this more. You can click here to purchase these jeans from the Rag & Bone website for $187.

LeAnn Rimes in Rag & Bone Boyfriend Shorts
LeAnn Rimes was snapped grabbing lunch to go in a pair of Rag & Bone shorts. I like that she dressed these up a bit by wearing them with a cut out blouse and Isabel Marant booties.
We see LeAnn in so many different brands and styles of jeans, I was so sure we'd see her in a pair of Frame Le Skinny Color rips and I am a bit surprised we didn't! Buy Rag & Bone online at Shopbop.com.

This is one wild-ass romp filled with plenty of anal, tease, and hot eager babes. Strong stuff – including a lot of d.p. and some threesomes – make it stand out. Kudos to Michelle B. for her able dual-hole handling of Pat Myne and Mark Wood.
A special note about Jasmine Tame: her sultry and energetic tryst with Myne and Tommy Gunn easily makes her wet dream material and a tight, busty fuck doll. She has it all going for her, and gives the camera and the boys 100 percent.
Retailing: A strong cast complements this good WTW release. Great cover; stock strong.

Asia Stocks Fall on Growth Concerns
HONG KONG—South Korea led a slump in Asian stocks as renewed fears over the state of the global economy drove a rout in commodities.
South Korea's Kospi dropped 2.2% to 1847.39, snapping a four week winning streak. Japan's Nikkei closed lower Friday at 0.3% to 8798.35 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 1.4% to 18995.13. Markets in mainland China were closed for a public holiday.
Australia's ASX S&P 200 dropped 1% to 4048.20. India's Sensex lost 0.4% to 16972.51.
Oil started to recover in Asia Friday after tumbling 4% overnight to its lowest level since early October on concerns a darkening global economic picture will damp future demand.
Oil was at $78.57 a barrel in Asia, around one fifth lower than its year-to-date high. London Metal Exchange three-month copper ended Thursday 2.7% lower at $7,341 a ton.
Most regional markets posted losses for the week as sentiment soured on Europe's debt crisis, the Federal Reserve refrained from taking major steps to stimulate the economy, and China recorded weak manufacturing data.
"The market was expecting the Fed to launch some aggressive monetary stimulus," said Paul Mackel, head of Asia currency research at HSBC, adding that "there is still a lot to play for in Europe."
The Hang Seng finished down 1.2% for the week, the Shanghai Composite nearly 2% and South Korea Kospi 0.6%. The Sensex rose 0.1% for the week, while the ASX fell 0.2%.
Japan's Nikkei Average bucked the trend by finishing 2.7% higher for the past five sessions, as companies were helped by a weakened local currency that makes its exports more competitive abroad. The dollar ended the week at ¥80.36, compared to ¥78.70 late Friday the week before.
Fears of a global slowdown sent investors flocking to the dollar, considered a safe haven. The euro lost 1.3% overnight, stabilizing in Asia to $1.2538.
The Australian dollar lost most of the gains it had made during the week, edging closer to parity with the greenback, at $1.003 in Asia; while the dollar rose to a new high against the Indian rupee, 57.33, compared to 56.30 late Thursday.
"If governments are not doing anything—such as the U.S. and China have been hesitant to put out large-scale stimulus—that means the demand growth for metals will not be as high as the market expected," said Helen Lau, senior mining and metals analyst at UOB Kay Hian in Hong Kong.
The mood was also soured after rating agency Moody's late Thursday downgraded a number of banks and securities companies with global capital market operations. HSBC, one of the 15 banks to have its ratings cut, fell 1.2% in Hong Kong.
Weakening commodity prices hit the resource-heavy Australian benchmark. Mining giants Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton lost 1.6% and 2.1%, respectively. Newcrest Mining also fell 3%.
Oil companies across the region were hurt by cheaper oil. In Japan, Inpex IPXHY 0.20 % Corp was one of the worst performing stocks, down 2.5%; while China's large oil companies PetroChina and Cnooc CEO -3.62 % lost 2.7% and 4%, respectively.
In Japan, Sony and Olympus OCPNY -1.60 % had a strong performance, up 5.6% and 2.2%, respectively, after a Nikkei report said the two companies are in final-stage talks over a ¥50 billion deal in which Sony would become Olympus' partner and help it rebuild from last year's accounting scandal.

Black Lips: 'Starting Over,' Against All Logic
Starting Over
Wednesday's Pick
- Song: "Starting Over"
- Artist: Black Lips
- CD: 200 Million Thousand
- Genre: Rock
Members of the Atlanta-based band Black Lips describe their music as "flower punk," which sounds suspiciously like a term made up for the purposes of a press release. But in this case, it's actually pretty apt: The group combines the messier impulses of punk, psychedelia, '60s rock and '90s Britpop, complete with a carefully cultivated reputation for unruliness which includes (but has not been limited to) urinating on each other, vomiting onstage and setting their instruments on fire. So it's pretty much an acquired taste.
On the new 200 Million Thousand, Black Lips' members appear to take themselves a bit more seriously, while still maintaining their reputation as lovable pranksters obsessed with bodily fluids. "Starting Over" may be the best evidence that, against all logic, the new approach is working. Mixing Byrds-ian jangle-pop with shouty garage punk, it's an unlikely but strangely successful combination.
"Starting Over" sounds as if it were made by cavemen — or perhaps a group of slow-witted 7-year-olds with access to their parents' Vandals albums — but it possesses a weirdly hypnotic allure. It doesn't consist of much more than 10 lines, mostly yelled unintelligibly in a fake British accent. But, buoyed by its killer hook and Black Lips' obvious enthusiasm, it's a ramshackle gem that's more than the sum of its parts.

In Dexter Season 5 Harrison's nanny looks like an important part of the story. She is the only one who passed the nanny interview held by Debra. She really even cares for Harrison. So why did she disappear in the start of season 6 ? I am unaware if it's mentioned later.
According to the Dexter Wikia, Sonya left the show without any explanation. There was also no explanation as to why Angel Batista's younger sister Jamie took over from Sonya.
The Wikia page for Sonya also adds
According to IMDB, she took up another role Corp & Anam after season 5, so perhaps she was only contracted for 1 season and couldn't be obligated into another season.
I wondered this as well. I would assume it was because Dexter's late night activities caused a problem. Remember she had already quit once and warned him. He probably left her holding the bag again, like he often did to Jamie as well. The plot line likes to emphasize his role as a parent, but he often was an absent father, getting home with barely enough time to tell his child goodnight and often still letting the nanny tuck him in, then leaving again to go kill someone.

Good picture, I Like!
nice shot!
Ah, the old Hotdog Depot, that place is awesome for their polish dogs. It's very expensive to
have lunch but well worth going. It's fun to sit across the street in front of the old train depot, watching the trains go by.

Sir.—The frequency of diabetic nephropathy appears to be decreasing. Studies of the incidence of diabetic microvascular disease from the early 1950s and 1960s indicated that about 50% of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes would develop renal disease after ten to 30 years of diabetes.1-3 More recent studies indicate that the percent of patients developing renal failure is about 35%. Kofoed-Enevoldsen et al4 and Krolewski et al5 indicate that both hyperglycemia and individual susceptibility play a role in the development of diabetic renal disease. Thus, patients with higher blood glucose levels are more likely to develop this complication of diabetes.
The quantitation of the severity of hyperglycemia has only been possible in the last ten years with the advent of the measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin and the feasibility of monitoring blood glucose levels throughout the day at home. We have been measuring the former since July 1979 and

Updated to Woocommerce 2.0.6. Using Payment Express Gateway.
Having two issues.
1. The cart doesn't clear after payment has been processed and approved by the gateway.
2. The customer's account shows the Pay / View / Cancel buttons even though payment has already been processed. Once the order has been manually marked as processing in the WP admin the Pay and Cancel buttons finally disappear. This is confusing for customers who are led to believe their payment didn't go through properly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My bad :-/
A recent commit of mine changed the auth code to urlencode for the login querystring (so that other querystring arguments could also safely be included).
I did notice this at some point (but see now that there are no specific tests around this in contrib.admin)
To keep the old behaviour but still allow for extra login_url querystring arguments, I think the easiest way will be to extend the QueryDict.encode method. See the patch I'm attaching.

I've slightly updated your patch to use Django's own django.utils.http.urlquote instead of urllib's, added a bit of documentation and updated the auth tests.

comment:4 Changed 6 years ago by SmileyChris
Doesn't Django's version just ensure it has been cast to a bytestring though? We're doing that explicitly in the urlencode method anyway.
Thanks for the docs (but note to self: there's a missing mutable=True on the example)
comment:5 Changed 6 years ago by jezdez
I suppose using our own utility functions is a worthwhile effort to prevent reimplementing the same thing over and over again.
comment:6 Changed 6 years ago by SmileyChris
The difference here is that smart_str is being done explicitly anyway since a QueryDict may have its own specified encoding. But I guess it doesn't hurt passing it through our functions again -- just seems rather pointless to me (and a negligibly larger change, since previously it didn't use Django's urlencode).

Hm, yeah, let's go without using our quote then.

Berlin Wall symbolized the Cold War division of Germany and the world between the communist and the capitalist blocs. Before the wall Berliners could freely cross the border, East Berliner work in West Berlin in daily bases for a higher exchange rate. The Wall split a city, a people, and the world, tearing apart families and friends for decades, and becoming a powerful symbol of the Cold War, representing the deepening divide between East and West, physically, politically, and philosophically.East Germans escaped into West Germany throughout 1950s and into the early 1960s.East Germany had already lost 2.5 million people by 1961 due to this mass emigration,most were young and trained professionals. The Soviet Union blocks West Berlin, attempted to take control of West Berlin. But the blockade eventually became a failure for the Soviet. The Soviet constructed the Berlin Wall to isolate West Berlin. We wanted to learn more about the Cool War, and post World War II Germany, so we choose this topic.
Benny: reaction
Tyler: revolution and reform
- Revolution: Constructed the wall, a movement of the Soviet Union for stabilizing German Democratic Republic (East Germany) economy and the Communist regime.
Reaction: The responds of the Western World. East German attempted to flee into West Berlin. The wall intensify the cold war attention, the sense of reunited, and the conflict to the communist world.
Reform: The movement that led to the fall of the wall, its effects to the Communist world, and led to the collapse of Soviet Union. The fall of the wall lead to the united of Germany. They can clearly see the different beliefs the German people have.

The Nine Days—Laws and Customs
Heightened mourning, uplifting visions and rejoicing with mitzvot
The first nine days of the month of Av, and also the morning of the tenth,1 are days of acute mourning for the destruction of the first and second Holy Temples.
During this time, we don't:
- Eat meat (including poultry) or drink wine, for during this period the sacrifices and wine libations in the Holy Temple ceased.2 The exceptions to this rule are meat and wine consumed on Shabbat or as part of a meal that celebrates a mitzvah, such as a circumcision, bar mitzvah, or the completion of a tractate of the Talmud.
- Launder clothing (except for a baby's)—even if they will not be worn during the Nine Days—or wear freshly laundered outer clothing.3 Those who wish to change their clothing daily should prepare a number of garments and briefly don each of them before the onset of the Nine Days. Then it is permitted to wear these "non-freshly laundered" garments during the Nine Days.We don't consume meat or wine, for during this period the sacrifices and wine libations ceased
- Swim or bathe for pleasure.
- Remodel or expand a home.
- Plant trees to be used for shade or fragrance (as opposed to fruit trees).
- Buy, sew, weave or knit new clothing—even if they will be worn only after the Nine Days.
Exceptions to this rule: (a) If you will miss a major sale, or if the garment will be unavailable later. (b) For the purpose of a mitzvah, such as purchasing new clothing for a bride and groom.
- Cut nails during the actual week of the fast of Tisha B'Av—i.e., starting from the Saturday night before the fast until the conclusion of the Nine Days.
The Sephardic custom is to observe the stringencies regarding meat, wine and bathing only in the week of Tisha B'Av.
Some more observances:
- The Sanctification of the Moon is postponed until after Tisha B'Av.
- There is no law forbidding traveling during the Nine Days; however, it is customary to refrain from traveling (or engaging in any potentially perilous activity) during these days, unless it is absolutely necessary.
- One may become engaged to be married during this period, but no celebration should be held until after Tisha B'Av.
Note: All these restrictions are in addition to the restrictions that apply during all of the Three Weeks.
Shabbat Chazon
The Shabbat preceding the Ninth of Av is called Shabbat Chazon—"Shabbat of the Vision." This Shabbat's reading from the Prophets begins with the words Chazon Yeshayahu, the "vision of Isaiah" regarding the destruction of the Holy Temple. The legendary chassidic master Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev said that on this special Shabbat, every Jewish soul is shown a vision of the third Holy Temple. The purpose of this vision is to arouse within every Jew a yearning to actually see this edifice which will be built by G‑d, and to do as many mitzvot as possible in order to realize this dream. While this vision may not be sensed with the physical eyes, the soul certainly experiences this vision, and it affects the person on the subconscious level.
There is no mourning on Shabbat—click here for more on this topic.
If We try to moderate the sadness through participating in permissible celebrationspossible, this week's havdalah wine or grape juice should be given to a child—younger than bar/bat mitzvah age—to drink.

The Inner Dimension
"When the month of Av enters, we reduce our joy . . ."
—Talmud, Taanit 26b
The entire month of Av is considered to be an inopportune time for Jews. Our sages advised that a Jew who is scheduled to have a court hearing—or anything of a similar nature—against a gentile during this month should try to postpone it until after Av, or at least until after the Nine Days.
On the positive side, as we get closer and closer to the messianic era, when these days will be transformed from days of sadness to days of joy, we start to focus on the inner purpose of the destruction, which is to bring us to a higher level of sensitivity and spirituality, and ultimately to the rebuilding—with even greater grandeur and glory—of all that was destroyed.
We therefore try to moderate the sadness through participating in permissible celebrations. It is therefore the Chabad custom to have someone complete a tractate of the Talmud each day of the Nine Days, in order to infuse these days with permissible joy.
Click here for more on this topic.
The Temple was set ablaze on the afternoon of the ninth of Av, and burned through the tenth.
Through custom, this prohibition has been expanded to include food cooked with meat. However, one may eat food that was prepared in a meat pot or utensil.
Shoes purchased specifically for the Ninth of Av—e.g., shoes made from canvas or rubber—may be worn even if they are new.
Analogy: You travel to a store to make a major purchase in order to avoid a significant financial loss. On the way back, you pass by a clothing store, and say, "I can use some more socks, and buying them now will avoid the time and expense of making a separate shopping trip later."
My "gut feeing" is that if deferring the minor purchase would be a significant financial hardship, buy it now. Otherwise, wait until after the Nine Days.

seriously though...it's ironic that the Iran deal is happening right before Tisha B'Av. Barack Obama definitely needs to be added to the list of the misfortunes of our people.

Why are no laws of the 9 Days reflecting of this. Why no law legislating that we be extra nice to people? Why no law legislating that we should smile at more people. In my humble opinion this could accomplish so much more than emphasizing the things that make life unpleasant such as not laundering clothing.
is there any Talmudic dictum that addresses this and legislates kindness during the 9 days? Thank you. J J

This B&B is in a great location for walking around Ligonier.
3.8 on August 11, 2015
Nice little B&B nestled just off the diamond in the quaint town of Ligonier. Walking distance to the many shops and dining opportunities in this relaxing town. Patti was very helpful with recommendations for local spots. Patti likes to pay attention to every little detail and truly wants to serve and please her customers. She worked very well with our food related allergies and prepared great breakfasts both mornings. What really blew me away was the above and beyond service she provided for us when we became stranded in Ligonier due to the starter in our vehicle going bad. She stopped at no length to make sure we were cared for and that the vehicle problems did not ruin our weekend getaway. She was awesome and I cannot imagine many people who maintain her hectic schedule who would take the time to provide the level of care she provided for us in something that was totally unrelated to our stay at her B&B. She operates by the theory "if you can't do something nice for someone then there is something wrong." We enjoyed meeting Patti and staying at her home.

Patti was an absolute gem. Her place is gorgeous and she is a delightful hostess. Only had one night there but it was a great start to our vacation. Looking forward to some future trips and re-visits to her lovely place.

We have been staying at Patti's "Campbell House" for years. We always look forward to our October weekend, Fort Days.We have never had an issue at the Campbell House. We are lucky enough to have the Campbell suite, and it is just so homey. Patti watches all the details. Breakfast is always a treat, and even with my wife's gluten issues, her breakfast is just as interesting as mine. Thanks again Patti for another memorable stay. We look forward to next year.

I so enjoyed this B&B and esp. my room,Painted ladies!!! Innkeeper Patti was great, such attention to detail and what a cook.I loved the pantry too! I woud recommend to anyone!!

We stayed here while visiting family in Greensburg PA. It is close enough for easy travel. The B&B is adorable and very nicely decorated. The room we had was lovely, with a very comfortable bed plus several seating areas. This room had the bathroom across the hall, but was not a problem in any way. (other rooms have in suite bathrooms). There was a nice pantry area on the landing which had snack, drinks and pretty much anything you might need. The bed part was great, the breakfast part was amazing. Patty is an amazing cook. Be hungry when you get up, because she cooks beautiful meals. Every morning the meal was different and delicious. It is nice to have the other boarders to chat with while you eat too. The coffee was magical, not sure how she does it, but it was great. Would stay here again when we need to head up that way. :)

Campbell house is the perfect adult getaway, the room was clean, The bed was so comfortable I did not want to leave. Patti who is the owner makes you feel special and can give you information from where to have dinner to things to do locally. The breakfast was wonderful and filling. Campbell house is a place we will return to anytime we visit the Laural highlands. Highly recommended !!!

Just finished an amazing breakfast to cap off a fantastic weekend stay celebrating our second anniversary. Patty is such a wonderful host, we stayed in the Campbell suite which was very spacious, excellently appointed. This is our second visit and there will be many more. Our breakfasts were served in our room by Jen, who is very charming and pleasant.

My wife and I are retired, lifelong Pennsylvanians, but neither of us had ever traveled in the western part of our state. Wanting some time away, we chose the Labor Day weekend, to visit Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and some of the nearby historical sites from the French & Indian War in the area, such as Fort Ligonier. We used the internet to check out available lodging and were intrigued by the entry for Campbell House Bed & Breakfast in Ligonier, PA. Happily we chose to stay there. The owner, Patti Campbell, is friendly, outgoing, and unpretentious. She made us feel welcome from the time we inquired about reservations until the morning we checked out. Our room was clean, comfortable and perfectly appointed. If you appreciate Victorian décor, Campbell House will not disappoint. And Patti prides herself on presenting unique and innovative breakfasts that keep her clients coming back. The family-style communal breakfasts allow you to meet the other interesting and charming guests who will contribute to the pleasant memories of your stay. We highly recommend Campbell House.

For many years I have used Samurize to display this little gem at the top of my display:
Recently I noticed that the meters for network upload and download were not working, so I went into my Samurize config to make sure they referenced the correct performance counters. Unfortunately the "Network Interface" category of performance objects is missing from the list, along with a few others.
The "Network Interface" category is available in the Windows Performance Monitor. I have tried running Samurize as Admin and I have UAC turned off anyway, but nothing has seemed to help.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for correcting this!

In the oil patch, the age of the hunter-gatherer is drawing to a close. Will the farmers take over?
Aubrey McClendon's coming departure from Chesapeake Energy symbolizes important changes being forced on the exploration and production sector. Mr. McClendon co-founded Chesapeake and led it to become the second-largest producer of natural gas in the U.S. by output.
Chesapeake bought land in virtually every big American shale prospect. But as natural-gas prices sank—in part because Chesapeake and its peers were so good at producing the stuff—financing the empire became ever harder. As the stock fell, activist shareholders weighed in, ultimately prompting Mr. McClendon's departure.
Chesapeake isn't alone. Both Hess and SandRidge Energy are also under siege from activist hedge funds. As with Chesapeake, they face criticism for perceived governance lapses, a lack of focus and high spending. During the boom years, investors were often prepared to overlook lax governance and rising leverage. But weak gas prices and a lack of momentum in oil prices have helped change attitudes.
Looking at a sample of all exploration and production companies with a market capitalization of $500 million or more, the deterioration in the sector's finances is clear.
In the year ended in September 2003, for every dollar of cash flow per share, 80 cents went to capital expenditures, according to S&P Capital IQ. In other words, they spent well within their means. Consequently, net debt to cash flow fell from 1.61 times in September 2003 to less than 0.67 times three years later.
As energy prices rose, and the shale land grab picked up, so did spending.
This need not necessarily be a bad thing: The sector habitually recycles cash flow and raises capital to develop the next big thing. But it went too far.
Having peaked at more than $8 in the year ended in September 2008, cash flow per share for the sample has hovered at about $5 since then. But capital expenditures per share have picked up, hitting $7.20 a share, or 1.5 times cash flow, in the 12 months ended in September 2012.
Consequently, net debt is back up to 1.44 times cash flow. The industry's need for funding has also led to its share count more than doubling over the past decade as it has raised new money. So besides a higher debt burden, shareholders have also suffered dilution.
Little wonder, then, that the expansionist old guard such as Mr. McClendon is being shown the door. What comes next? Consolidation. This means, in part, fixing finances by selling assets and curbing spending. But it also means mergers and acquisitions. Even if all that hunting and gathering has left companies short of money, they do own a lot of potential resources that could be farmed by someone with more financial firepower.
Fourth-quarter results from the major integrated oil companies suggest that, if they haven't already retained the services of an investment banker, they soon will. Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell, in particular, are paying investors with dividends and buybacks to hold their stock in lieu of big growth. Buying a large exploration and production company offers one way of addressing this deficit while giving investors in the sector a chance to pick up takeover premiums.
Despite Mr. McClendon's departure, Chesapeake seems like an unlikely target given its complex edifice of financing arrangements and joint ventures. Like Hess, it may be worth more if sold in pieces. But there are other targets. Sanford C. Bernstein identifies Range Resources, whose liquids-rich reserves are tailor-made for the revival in U.S. petrochemicals manufacturing.
Meanwhile, Anadarko Petroleum, while large with a market capitalization of $42 billion, offers a mix of U.S. reserves as well as foreign projects such as Mozambique liquefied natural gas, which have traditionally been the preserve of the majors. Exploration and production empire building may no longer be in fashion. But that needn't stop investors from enjoying the fruits of conquest.

Is there a way to change 'state' to 'province' in the shipping calculator? The site only offers shipping and pickup with Canada. Thanks.
Is there a way to change 'state' to 'province' in the shipping calculator? The site only offers shipping and pickup with Canada. Thanks.
check out
class-wc-countries.php that's where all the location specific stuff is dealt with ... I haven't quite figured out how to hook into some of it yet tho ....
I should clarify, it does list Canadian provinces, but the title in the form field is "States", with a drop down of provinces. I am looking through that file, but so far I can't see anything. Thanks.
line 831 .....
'CA' => array('state' => array(
'label'=> __('Province','woocommerce'),
'placeholder' => __('Province', 'woocommerce')
But I think this is used only on the checkout page....
I am looking to do this exact same thing with a Canadian client of ours. I was able to find the specific variable that controls this in plugins/woocommerce/woocommerce-template.php on line 1137.
It shows
<option value="">'.__( 'Select a state…', 'woocommerce' ) .'</option>'; where state&hellip is the variable. So while I can change this in the core file and it does work, I'd rather not do this for updating reasons. If there is a way to override this via functions.php that would be awesome.
If there isn't already a filter for this, what you can do is use the PO file to translate it into "province". This way you're not modifying the core.
Yeah, I've used this plugin to change some of the wording on the site ... works really well...
Thanks for the tip hilmon. The plugin did the trick. Royho, we've never really dealt with PO or MO files until now. Learn something new everyday!
We do indeed!! :-)
Can installing that plugin slow anything down?
I guess I don't get how it works, is it simply showing already existing language files, or is it loading new ones?
I mean, for changing something small like this (just a few words), is it worth it? Or is it better to learn how to go down the manual PO/MO route (I'm very new to that, but curious).
I'd like to remove the "Select a State" option altogether. How do I do this
Add to functions.php in your theme this code:
// Cut unnecessary fields
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );
function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
return $fields;
Thanks I did this; however the drop down box for New Zealand provices and Australian States still appears
It's strange, maybe try in CSS hide this element:
#billing_state {
display: none;
Thanks I amended the states php file as suggested and that resolved my requirement
Hey All, I'm trying to do as the OP was. Change "Select a state" to be "Province" both in the checkout area, and on the cart page if possible.
Can anybody offer some insight as to how to accomplish this ?
Thanks in advance,
Chris Fawkz Coffin

Hotel was close to C-Train Station to downtown and Stampede Grounds as well as restaurants in the area. Hotel showing it's age. Air Conditioner in room was a quite loud and distracting. TV was not a flat screen - if you can believe it! So, channels were limited! Breakfast was ok! Price was reasonable compared with other hotels in the area. But, if other hotels were available, would probably not stay here.

Historical Traveler Reviews Travelodge Calgary University
Good value, nice rooms, free internet!
Recently stayed here for a week while looking for rental accommodation in Calgary. The rooms are clean, comfortable and big (we had a king size room with sofabed, which was about CAD$100/night incl tax as we booked online). There was a fridge and a microwave in the room, which was very handy. The staff were friendly and helpful, it was easy to get around without a car as the C-Train is so close, there are plenty of restaurants nearby, and best of all there is free wireless internet access. Breakfast was basic but nice - coffee, cereal, rolls, toast, fruit etc. Overall we were very happy with this place, and would have been happy to stay on if we had needed to.
Not bad!
The hotel looks like nothing from the street, and the common areas are a bit tired, but the staff were friendly and efficient, and the room was spacious, clean and appeared to be recently redecorated. As a business traveller, I especially appreciated the free wireless and spacious desk.
I got there late the first night and had bought sushi at Safeway, and had I known about the microwave (there is also a small fridge), it may have been Italian! Anyhow, I could eat and check my email comfortably on the sofa while watching TV!
The next day, a quick free breakfast in the lobby, then it was ten minutes to downtown by car. Had I not had appointments all over the city, I could have taken the c-train, as there is a stop within a five minute walk of the hotel.
I used to stay at the Westin, which was double the $$$ and only marginally better.
I will come back!
Good value
The Holiday Inn Express is typical of the chain. It offers good value accomodation with breakfast included - particularly good value for families. There is a reasonable pool - though it is overlooked by other nearby accomodation. The hotel is less than 5 minutes walk from the C-train station, so it's easy to get into central Calgary. The immediate surroundings are not particularly attractive, but there are several restaurants nearby - we used Phil's which was good value.
!! Gutes Hotel - zu empfehlen !!
Allgemeines zu Hotels in Calgary:
In Calgary findet man locker guenstige Hotels. Downtown befinden sich die besten und teuersten Haeuser, auf die man hier aber gut verzichten kann. Nur wenige Minuten von der Downtown entfernt, befinden sich mehrere Hotelmeilen, die guenstige Mittelklassehotels bieten.
Zu den Details der Hotelkritik:
Die Lage des Hotels + Verkehrsanbindung:
Das Holiday Inn Express Calgary befindet sich auf dem Banff Trail - einer Motelstrasse in der Naehe zur Downtown Calgarys. Nicht ohne Grund heisst diese Gegend Motel Village - sind doch nebenan jede Menge andere Hotels und Motels zu finden. Auf der anderen Strassenseite befindet sich das Gelaende der University of Calgary; direkt hinter dem Hotel das McMahon Stadium (Eroeffnungfeier Olympia 1988 - Heim der Calgary Stampeders (CFL)). In nur 5 Gehminuten Entfernung befindet sich eine Mall mit vielen Geschaeften und mehreren Restaurants. Mein Tipp: Pizza 73 !!!!!!
Die Anreise zum Flughafen Calgarys dauert etwas laenger - erfolgt sie ueber oeffentliche Verkehrsmittel, so braucht man ueber 30 Minuten zum Hotel, da man haeufiger umsteigen muss; die Anreise mit dem Auto dauert etwa 15 Minuten. Zur Downtown benoetigt man etwa 15 Minuten, denn in nur 3 Gehminuten Entfernung liegt die Strassenbahnhaltestelle "Banff Trail". Die Zuege fahren zwischen 5h und 1h im 10-15 Minuten-Takt. Mit dem Auto braucht man genau so lange. Das Hotel ist ideal fuer Reisende mit Mietwagen, denn das Hotel bietet ausreichend eigene - kostenfreie - Parkplaetze vor dem Haus an.
Das Hotel + Ausstattung:
Das Hotel ist mittelgross und hat drei Etagen. Es bietet den Gaesten einen Pool - der ist aber draussen. Ansonsten gibt es keine Extras im Haus .... Was allerdings top ist: Die Gaeste des Hotels haben (wie immer im Holiday Inn Express) ein Fruehstuecksbuffet im Preis inkludiert. Dort gibt es alles: Verschiedene Sorten Brot, verschiedene Brotaufstriche, verschiedene Sorten Tee, Kaffee, O-Saefte und Milch, Cerealien und Obst. Das Fruehstueck ist wirklich gut und vielseitig, hat aber einen Haken: Es wird in der Hotellobby eingenommen (kein eigener Fruehstuecksraum) - dort sitzt man also und isst vor der Rezeption, zudem sind die Plaetze sehr rar, so dass man schon mal warten muss, um sitzen zu koennen.
Die Zimmer:
Die Zimmer sind sehr komfortabel, gross und sehr sauber. Die Raeume sind hell und die Anlage ist innen sehr ruhig. Auf den Zimmern ist alles da: Klimaanlage, Kabel-TV mit allen Sportsendern, Radiowecker (Hotel bietet auch wake-up-calls an), gutes, sauberes, Bad mit Dusche und Badewanne, Board,
Buegeleisen + Brett und genuegend Ablageflaechen. Die Reinigung der Zimmer erfolgt taeglich und gruendlich - alles bestens !!! Die Betten sind uebrigens traumhaft weich und gemuetlich.
Die abschliessende Bewertung:
Das Hotel kommt in einem Motel-Style, bietet aber Hotel-Service zum Motel-Preis. Hier bekommt man also etwas fuer sein Geld und kann zufrieden ausschlafen. Empfehlung !!
August in Calgary
Not the prettiest of hotels but it was fine for an overnight stay. The room was clean and spacious. Reception staff were helpful and the complimentary breakfast was great.
Not picturesque ...but very fuctional
First impressions from the outside were rather disappointing. The hotel is located along with others, as well as fast food outlets, that form a block on the Banff Trail. The room was clean and well furnished ..the breakfast comprised the usual Holiday Inn Express fare.
It was a real bonus to discover that the light railway tram system to downtown was only across the road and down a couple of blocks.
All in all ...a very pleasant stay for three nights.
Good value for money ..highly recommended.
A Very Pleasant Place to Stay
Twice in 2004 while in the city on business, I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Calgary - University and found it to be a very nice place. Any future business plans in Calgary will most likely involve another stay.
Satisfied Travler
I travel throughout North America on business. This motel is one of the best. All of the conviences & the commuter train across the street. Convenient!
One of the best deal!
Stayed there Labor Day weekend 2003. Built-in shower gel, hair dryer, coffee machine w/ great coffee, ironing board, good TV, 2 sofas w/ 1-bed king-sized bed rooms, coffee table, QUIET A/C, include breakfast, courteous staff, clean and quiet. BTW, there's McDonald's, Red Lobster, & another diner (which serves great food) right in their back parking lot! Greatest deal possible. Very Very Clean. I paid about under US$60 per night included tax & fees with AAA. Will definitely live there again.
Good Value-Quiet, Clean & Well-Maintained
We just spent a very pleasant night at this hotel. We found it to be quiet, clean, and very well maintained. Our room and all of the halls appeared to have been updated within the last few years. For our purposes the location was very central, allowing easy access to the places we needed to go. Parking is free. The continental breakfast (included) was good and the staff member who looked after it was VERY PLEASANT- a positive start to the day. As I have allergies I appreciated the fact that pets are only allowed on the first floor. This appeared to be a very well-run hotel. We felt that it was good value for the money. We will stay there again on our next trip to Calgary.

Why men cheat - this is for all you ladies out there

The reason I cheat is because I don't see how that would hurt my wife in the grand scheme of things. I don't plan on ditching her and I take care of her. So another girl shows some interest in me and we form a trusting relationship based mostly on sexual companionship. How does that hurt my wife? I'm happier which means shes happier. I still provide, don't hurt her. There is alot you can do to hurt a woman, but cheating is not one of them. That said the perception is that its evil so I am forced to keep it from her because she bought into this media hyped perfect marriage where natural sexual feelings don't exist. So I say relax girls the main issue for relationships failing is alcohol and drugs, financial reasons, and overall unhappiness. As long as you are happy and your man is happy things are good.

You don't see how that would hurt your life?
You're an idiot, and I'll prove it- go tell her you're cheating and see how she feels.
Think she won't get hurt?
That's like saying crime is always justifiable as long as a cop doesn't see. So go ahead and tell her if you think it doesn't matter.
I bet you couldn't even stand the idea of her fucking another man.

What sort of organ is the lung? A difficult question, but as Averill Liebow, co-editor of this volume, says, it is "... much more than a wind bag or bellows. It is a complicated, subtle and important chemical system of which the activities have been only partly revealed." This monograph, the eighth put out by the International Academy of Pathology, helps to reveal a little more.
Doctors Liebow and Smith have gathered together 24 authorities to give their views of what goes on in the labyrinths of the lung. The first 15 chapters concern the living lung and cover topics like pulmonary dynamics, respiratory surfaces, mechanical properties, changes in disease, cellular population, responses to environment, and comparisons to diseases in animals.
Next come four chapters on geographic pathology, and pathologists from different lands participate. An Egyptian has a go at pulmonary bilharziasis, a Peruvian at the lungs of high-altitude dwellers, a

I do not believe in altering what God has given to us . We are beautiful no matter how old and wrinkly we get. God made us, loves us just the way we are. to look like a puppet or a clown does not honour Our Father. But I know His love never ends. Think about the message you send to the young. The message you give is I am not good enough. Grow old gracefully with praises on your lips. Amen. Be your self you have much wisdom for the audience you reach. AMEN. Be blessed by the words of God that come forth from you Holy Spirit, and lay the cosmetic surgery where it belongs in the surgery. you definatly don't need it. .↓

On the Web - FUD vs. Freedom
If you typed "Linux" into Google News or any other news aggregator site recently, you probably got a bunch of links to the SCO vs. IBM lawsuit, the information technology industry's most bizarre legal battle. Because the case is moving way too fast to keep up with in a monthly publication, we're running our articles about the facts of the case on our Web site.
We're not writing down merely the latest "Fear Uncertainty and Doubt" (FUD) that SCO execs Darl McBride and Chris Sontag are giving the mainstream media. You know us better than that. We've got articles that bring a little more insight to the case.
In August 2002, our correspondent Jeff Gerhardt published the first hint of SCO's search for money in the dusty file cabinets of UNIX licenses, and he quoted McBride as saying, "obviously Linux owes its heritage to UNIX, but not its code. We would not, nor will not, make such a claim" (www.linuxjournal.com/article/6293).
A lot has changed since then, and Doc Searls covered the initial complaint in March 2003, when Sontag said, "I have to say that this is not an issue regarding the Linux community. This is an issue between SCO and IBM."
Later, SCO pulled its own Linux distribution, and Sontag claimed that there is "significant copyrighted and trade secret code within Linux".
Our May 15 story was the first public mention of SCO's offer to let independent experts review the allegedly copied code under a nondisclosure agreement (NDA), available at www.linuxjournal.com/article/6877.
Later, we published the full text of the NDA and decided it was too legally risky to accept it ourselves (www.linuxjournal.com/article/6923).
But, Ian Lance Taylor, the mastermind behind Taylor UUCP, came to the rescue, signed it and walked into SCO's office. His essay on the journey revealed tantalizing facts about an 80-line function that is in fact the same in SCO UnixWare and Linux—but also found elsewhere (www.linuxjournal.com/article/6956). He wrote:
The similar portions of the code were some 80 lines or so. Looking around the Net, I found close variants of the code, with the same comments and variable names, in sources other than Linux distributions. The code is not in a central part of the Linux kernel. The code does not appear to have been contributed to Linux by SCO or Caldera. The code exists in current versions of the Linux kernel.
What's next? By the time this issue goes to press, anything could happen, so watch our Web site for the facts. After all, you can get FUD anywhere.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

How can afford the players we need?
I didn't write the articles I read, or make those my own quotes, they belong to someone else. I also did say I want to sell Suarez EVER, I asked it once as a question playing devil's advocate.. If someone offered me 75M, then yes I'd probably consider it, but other than that, no way.
In reference to the other players, it took public and private comments, of a harsh nature, from Brendan Rodgers for Downing, Henderson, and Enrique to all realize that they were underperforming, would be allowed to leave, and wouldn't have a role in the squad if they didn't improve. Everyone criticized Rodgers for it, yet now Downing is a very valuable player, but he's on 70-80k wages, so rest assured if he doesn't take a wage cut, he'll be off. Jordan is showing he's better than he was last year, but he's still not justified the 16M tag he came with by any means, and while I think he can get alot better, unlike City or Chelsea, we can't afford to have that type of money sitting on the bench. Enrique has become a revelation going forward, also as a result of Rodgers public foot up his #$%$
In regards to those 2 (not enrique) Henderson and Downing, the 35M spent on Andy and let us not forget our friend and contender for Player of the Year, Uncle Charlie Adam who mostly rides the bench at mighty Stoke, who cost another 8-9M. Those 4, not including wages, cost close to 80M Pounds... If I said "Hey Colin, you're in charge, go buy whoever you want for LFC as the manager, here's 80M pounds", would you have bought any of those 4 players? I'm pretty certain, seeing you as the general football fan as you are, you would have bought the very best players you could from anywhere in Europe. Yes, I know Carroll came before them, but when the chairman of Bayern says 21M was laughable in trying to buy Mario Gomez, or De Llaurentisof Napoli said "42 Million" for Edinson Cavani, the buy of Andy Carroll for 35M to replace Fernando Torres, who at the time was in great form under Kenny, looks absolutely ridiculous. For 7M more, we could have had Cavani, and for 30M we could have Gomez.. you can look those 2 up by the way.. but it puts things in perspective.
I think after 3 games you decided Borini was no good and a complete waste of money, and to be fair, I can't really support him much because he hasn't done much, but he'll have missed 6 months of the season from 2 injuries, and is a 21 yo striker who changed 6 clubs in 2 years, and lived in 9 different places. I think he outta get a full summer's worth and if he can't hack it, he's gone next January. As far as Allen goes, I agree the fee was excessive for sure, but there wasn't a single person on this board in the first 2 months complaining when he was winning player of the month, and superb, but since has lost form and broken down (he now needs shoulder surgery) and is only 22 years old. So, much like Henderson, who's just slightly younger, he certainly can improve, but he won't grow any taller unfortunately. As for Assaidi, we all have to wait and see.. when he has played, he's been nothing short of exciting, but he's a bit slight, so my guess is he needs to bulk up this summer, and if it doesn't work out, we paid 3M.. no biggie
I'm not blaming Kenny for the club's situation, but I am reciting quotes found in several places, and the signings that didn't work out, Adam, Carroll and possibly Downing or Henderson come this summer, certainly hurt, considering what was paid, what the return was, and what will be recouped.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Jason..am very familiar with Edison Cavanni ... would give 45 mill in a heartbeat for the man ! I wouldnt even listen to silly money offers for Louis he IS FRANCHISE LFC and the man to build the team around. Sell him for silly money 80mill and buy two others who turn out to be duds no thanks we have the real thing in Louis PROVEN WORLD CLASS STRIKING TALENT and for me currently best performing striker in Europe.
FYI....Charlie Adam was signed for 7 mill from Blackpool FC...I would have bought Charlie Adam for 7 mill yes. Would I have sold Torres YES for 50 mill Id have pulled Abramovitchs hand off !!! Torres contrary to what u say had not been in good form the whole season. Would I have bought Andy C for 35 ...NO !!! Would I have signed Hendo for 16 mill ? ...No. For half that ...Yes. Would I have signed DOWNING for 20 mill ....No...for half that ? DEFO yes. Assaidi for three...Yes. Joe Allen for 16 mill ...no...half that ...Yes. BTW also read that BR said hed been struggling for weeks with a paersistent shoulder injury and now has to have an op...bad news....but under such circumstances if BR knew this why was he even on the bench let along brought on as a sub and for me he didnt make the difference and I would have left Sturridge on. Would I have signed Sturridge for the money...Yes ! Would I have signed Couhtino for the money yes. Borini for ten and a half mill squid.... wouldnt have signed him on a free from AS ROMA who yet again mugged us. When will we learn to stay away from this bandit club ??? Overall I m confident that we are headed in the right direction but its going to take another 9 efforts like Yesterday to get the job done this season no sliding back into lazy habits at Southampton !
Colin I think it's a little harsh in comparing Downing and Henderson to Borini and Allen. It's taken quite a long time for them to show any type of form or quality while Borini and Allen have hardly had a season. However, I share your concerns on Borini while Allen is a player I'm prepared to sit on. There's somehing about him that gives me encouragement that he'll come good. He looks calm on the ball and that, to me is an indicator of quality.
Carroll was a £35m bomb that's for sure but assuming that Newcastle have been paid in full then I suspect that his purchase is included in the account figures we've just seen. Torres' fee was. Therefore if we sold him then it can be considered as money in the bank. At the moment he's an asset that's doing nothing for the club and is therefore a waste. He comes back and plays or he gets sold. Otherwise he's a pointless asset. So in a twisted accounting type of way the loss in his purchase has already been incurred. It can be argued that we've already taken the hit on him by agreeing to the £35m fee and paying it! It's very frustrating that it's another example of our really poor performance in the transfer market of late. Remember that we also pay more to agents than any other club as well and the frustration is increased. It had to stop. I think they're getting a grip on it now and thanks to Jason's insight it's why Gaston Ramirez is at Southampton and not Anfield. I'm also really encouraged that at long last we've got 2 players in Sturridge and Coutinho that are affordable and have hit the ground running.
As I said above the debt is not a huge issue but our costs are. I would really like to see a comparison with this years costs and a full breakdown of what they are. Pipe dream though, I'll have to wait.
The revenue is also a concern but it's going up despite the lack of CL football but the gap between us and Them is pretty huge. That's the true scale of the errors made by Moores and our previous owners.
