I was wondering how to chamge 'out of stock' to 'coming soon'
I found the file to change it on the single product page but how do I change it on the main list of products page?
I am not sure if there are any filters to change that text...But if there are not, then you can always use PO files to do so....have a look at this -> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-woocommerce-excelling-ecommerce-rename-categories-and-products?replies=36
I gave that a go but still couldn't find or change the 'out of stock' text:

Surely it's in a php file somewhere? I'm using the maya theme.
Assuming that you're not using a totally customized theme for WooCommerce that implements some of its own layout code ( such as the Shelflife theme ) ...
Look for the loop/price.php template file and modify that.
Change it to something like this:
<?php $price_html = $product->get_price_html() ?>

if ( empty( $price_html ) )
echo 'Coming Soon!';
echo $price_html
That's all there is to it ;-)
there's also a price.php under single-item, so you'll need to modify that one as well.
The original poster wrote "I found the file to change it on the single product page" so he's obviously found the price.php file in the "single-product" subdir ;-)
my sincere apologies for my superfluous comment!
not superfluous at all, I didn't know I had to change that file as well, thanks for the heads up everyone.
Hi there! I want to do the same but add a "SOLD" sign instead of the "OUT OF STOCK" sign on a product's image. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
I am trying to add some text which says "Coming Soon" as above from the original post. I have tried the above code and changed my loop/price.php to look like this:
* Loop Price
global $product;
<?php /*?><?php if ($price_html = $product->get_price_html()) : ?>
<?php echo $price_html; ?>
<?php endif; ?><?php */?>
<?php $price_html = $product->get_price_html() ?>

if ( empty( $price_html ) )
echo 'Coming Soon!';
echo $price_html
And I have changed the single-product/price.php to look like this:
* Single Product Price
global $post, $product;

<?php //echo $product->get_price_html(); ?>
<?php $price_html = $product->get_price_html() ?>
if ( empty( $price_html ) )
echo 'Coming Soon!';
echo $price_html
But it is still not working, any suggestions?
Yo! I just managed it.
Go to woocommerce/classes and find the file class-wc-product.php
There are three instances of:
$availability = __('Out of stock', 'woocommerce');
within the file.
I changed 'Out of stock' to 'Sold' and it worked for me.
Lovely stuff!
Absolute legend! worked for me too, thanks a million
you shouldn't modify the core woocommerce files. That's what hooks and template files are for.
It did not work for me :( I changed all three options and nothing happened. The out of stock sign was still there unfortunately. Any other way maybe?
i get a fair few errors on the admin area when modfying those files.
Who knows how to do this using hooks???
add_filter('woocommerce_get_availability', 'availability_filter_func');
function availability_filter_func($availability)
$availability['availability'] = str_ireplace('Out of stock', 'Coming Soon', $availability['availability']);
return $availability;
Does somebody know how you can put another stock option in it?
It like to give the option: delivery time 1 week, or the option: not in stock.
Is there a plugin that can do this?
Hope that somebody can help me with this!

There aren't any hooks to add another stock option. But you can modify the single-product/price.php template file to display "Delivery time 1 week" instead of "In Stock".
The options that already displayed are fine, so i cant edit them, i just want another option in it.. Isn't there a simple way to ad an stock option?
@blokof - what status do you want to add and what is its purpose?
Just thought I'd add something to enhance the answer given by bheadrick to the OP's original question...
To change the out of stock message for certain products only, you can add an 'if' statement with an array of the product ID's of those that you want to change the message for.
Add this to your themes functions.php file, changing the ID's 2230 etc to match your product IDs:
add_filter('woocommerce_get_availability', 'availability_filter_func');
function availability_filter_func($availability)
if(is_single( array(2230,2232,2234,2236)))$availability['availability'] = str_ireplace('Out of stock', 'your text here', $availability['availability']);
return $availability;
Now just the products you add to the array will have their out of stock message changed. All other products will keep the original 'out of stock' message,
Thanks to bheadrick for the original function - it enabled me to work out how to use it for specific products!
Hope this helps somebody out there!
For those of you who have upgraded to WooCommerce 2.0, modify this file:
As suggested by boluo33
"There are three instances of:
$availability = __('Out of stock', 'woocommerce');
within the file."
Change all three 'Out of Stock' to whatever you so desire. (In my case, I made it ' ', so that nothing shows and purchasing is simply unavailable). Cheers.
@erfanv: That is a VERY, VERY, bad way to handle things. You should never modify plugin code unless you want to lose your mods when you upgrade, or lose the ability to upgrade.
Use this filter instead:
return apply_filters( 'woocommerce_get_availability', array( 'availability' => $availability, 'class' => $class ), $this );
So for example ( you gotta do part of the work ;-) -->
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_availability', 'change_out_of_stock', 100, 2 );
function change_out_of_stock( $args, $obj ) {
// do something here...
More here:
IgniteWoo Team
Ouch. Two capital "VERY"'s?!? Humph... now to learn about filters, how they work, and how to use them...
Sorry, I'm totally lost.
IgniteWoo Team,
If i have a child theme to customize.
Do i put both the codes above in functions.php?
I'm sorry if this is an attempt to hijack the thread, but i've been searching the whole internet to find a simple way to put up the "out of stock" or "sold out' sign in the first place.
So I just want my catalog to add out of stock signs when stuff are out of stock.. I can't find it how to do such simple thing.
If anyone can help, much is appreciated!
Hi, just want to share some codes here for the issue above:
//change woocommerce 'out of stock' product status to any text status you want
add_filter('woocommerce_get_availability', 'custom_get_availability');
function custom_get_availability($availability)
$availability['availability'] = str_ireplace('Out of stock', 'Coming Soon...', $availability['availability']);
//$availability['availability'] = str_ireplace('Out of stock', 'Sold Out!', $availability['availability']);
//$availability['availability'] = str_ireplace('Out of stock', 'Call for Price', $availability['availability']);
return $availability;
@terrytsang where i'm supposed to paste that code? in which file?
Thanks in advanced
@t0m4s05, you need to past the code in functions.php in your theme folder.

Changing banks is an important part of the moving process.
Moving long distances may require many small tasks to be completed in order to make sure that you are settled and ready to start your new life. One of the most important tasks is to open a new bank account.
While some people have accounts with national banks, this may not always be the case. It is a good idea before you even begin packing to find out what banks are available in your new area. If you don't have a branch of your current bank, it is important to find a new option in advance.
Choosing which financial institution is best depends on what you prefer in a bank, as well as your surroundings. There should be at least a couple banking options in your area, so take your time when choosing them.
When you do open a new account, be sure that you select the correct options. If you want a savings account and a checking account, be sure to specify. Also, if you had any major savings plans through your old bank, be sure to transfer them over. Your new bank can give you the proper directions on how to do this.
Be sure to order checks, even if you don't use them often. Having these stored away in your home could be valuable, especially if you need to pay a bill that cannot be done electronically.
Once you are completely set up with a new account and transferred all your automatic payments, you need to close your other account. Take the remaining funds out and call the bank and inform them that you have switched banks. Unless you use the account often, leaving it open can expose you to fraud. Finally, dispose of your old card properly, as well as any documents you do not need for record-keeping.

OATH Token
By Archie L. Cobbs
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
OATH Token is a free and open-source software token for two-factor authentication (i.e., one time passwords) on the iPhone. OATH Token implements the RFC 4226 HOTP/OATH algorithm standard and is not tied to any proprietary server software.
Multiple tokens are supported and may be fully configured as event-based or time-based. Tokens can be fully edited at any time, until if and when put in "lockdown" mode, after which editing is permanently disabled.
Simple web-based provisioning is supported using custom oathtoken:// URLs.
OATH Token is compatible with the mod-authn-otp Apache authentication module.
For more information, visit http://oathtoken.googlecode.com/
What's New in Version 1.0.5
- Consumes fewer resources when running in the background.
- Added support for running on first generation iPod Touch.

google's TOTP based auth is now the de facto.

It'll work with Battle.net authenticators if you manage to get the raw key, such as with WinAuth 2.x. With the raw key, set this app to time-based, 30 seconds, 8 digits, and not hexadecimal.
UI was somewhat clunky to use, and should directly support popular systems like Battle.net.

Hey there, folks.
I'm trying to write a short condition-based sidebar menu for my blog. I'm trying to add a few options only available to user accounts level 1 and up. While it works fine for all other accounts, my admin account returns a value of 0 when I call $user_level.
Here's how I get the value:
<?php global $user_ID, $user_email, $user_identity, $user_level; ?>
I then use that value here:
<?php if ( $user_level >= 1 ) : ?>
I checked the user_level by doing a simple print. Any ideas why the admin account returns as 0 rather than 9 (or is it 10?)

I love this cigar & what a great size for all but those times where, well time is no consideration. Consistent from start to finish, nice even burn & flavorful without overpowering. I bought these guys along with some very expensive R&J's for my son's bachelor outing ... The guys couldn't stop talking about these little guys. Wanted to be sure I had ore for the wedding the next weekend.

I've searched though all the settings I can find in Chrome but can't determine how to disable referrer logging for both HTTP and HTTPS requests. How can I do this?
You can do this Google Chrome by using the NOREF extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dkpkjedlegmelkogpgamcaemgbanohip
Description as provided by the extension developer:
Another alternate way would be to launch Google Chrome using --no-referrers assuming you are using Windows.
Just configure the shortcut to Chrome with the suffix shown above (--no-referers) and you'll always have them off without installing any third party software. Which is specially good, if you are using MS Windows.

Artisan gefilte fish. For some, the phrase seems like an oxymoron. While salmon, chilean sea bass and tilapia may all be in vogue, gefilte fish, the traditional ground fish mixture that is de rigueur in Ashkenazic Jewish households at Shabbos and Yom Tov meals, is like the Henny Youngman of fish: it gets no respect.

The thing about work is that it isn't fun. If it were, it would be called play. Most people grumble about going to work, and look forward to their time-off – especially when it is paid. And yet, polls show that most people, given the choice, would prefer to work. It's when we get to the office that we begin to moan and groan. What's the point in that? If we spend the majority of our waking hours at work, we might as well enjoy it! Here are some ways we can accomplish that.

Picture this; Mr. Smith is driving down on the Brooklyn Bridge, eager to get to work on time. At the corner of his eye, something flashes. He turns to look at an electric billboard. BOOM…CRASH…BANG… he's been hit. That billboard took more than his attention - it took his life.

The blade of the penknife sliced cleanly into my thumb and a thin stream of crimson blood appeared immediately, getting thicker by the second. I dropped the penknife onto my lap and reached for the green hem of my school skirt. I pressed it tightly against my thumb. Only then did I glance up at Sister Giovanna who was standing, as usual, slightly to the right of the black board. I raised my hand and hoped that she would call on me soon.

Throughout the long dark night of our exile, when we found ourselves at the precarious "mercy" of the inhabitants of the lands we were residing in, each and every Jewish community made it their utmost priority to rescue any man, woman or child who had the misfortune to be kidnapped, captured or unjustly thrown in prison. Whether these unfortunate souls were being held by bandits, landlords or greedy officials eager for ransom money, every effort was made to free them.

Oh, Chanukah! Chanukah, the festival of lights and the powerful story of the unlikely military victory of the Maccabees. One lesson we're able to glean from the Maccabees is the importance of doing just a little bit more then you think you are capable of. As we all know, the Maccabees were quite aware that taking on the mighty Greek army was a suicide campaign. Yet, they succeeded.

"Fungus Among Us" is a rare Miss Spider story in which Wiggle can be seen without his cap on.
Berry, the crane fly who serves at the lifeguard at the Taddy Puddle, appears for the first time in "Ground Bound." He speaks with a bit of an Australian accent and uses several Australian phrases, including "wonky" (wobbly or loppsided), "mates" (friends) and "ripper" (fantastic). He also sometimes refers to the kids as little "bities," apparently in jest, as "bities" generally refers only to biting insects such as mosquitoes. Additionally, Bounce uses the phrase "good on ya'" (well done), when talking to Berry.
Bounce: (noticing Berry is missing two legs) Berry, what happened to your legs?
Berry: No worries, mate. I'm a crane fly remember? We can do fine with only a few legs.
Shimmer: That's a relief. If I lost my legs and mangled my wing gear..
Berry: My wing gear? (sees that one of his wings is busted) Oh, no. Oh, no! (jumps up and tries to fly but falls to the ground) I can't fly. I can't fly!
Bounce: Berry saved me, Mom! Again!
Miss Spider: See, Berry? I guess you're still good at something.
Berry: Ripper, Miss Spider.
Berry: Try, try and try again. Am I right?
Bounce: Good on ya'!
Berry: I'm a lucky bug to have such good mates.
Berry: What good's a lifeguard with a wonky wing? He's good for nothin'.
Berry: I had an important job watching over everybody. I guess those days are over and gone.
Shimmer: You're still important to us, Berry.
Berry: How do I look, doc?
Dr. Bee-Better: I have some bad news, Berry. I'm afraid your wing is never going to fully mend.
Bounce: (in Wiggle's dream, Dr. Seuss style) They'll grow where it's damp! They'll grow where it's dark! And here in the bedroom! They'll grow from the bark!
Sawyer: Hooks and hammers, there's another crop over here. Looks like the whole tree is infested.
Wiggle: (sighs) This can't be my fault, can it? All I did was bring home one tiny little mushroom.
Spiderus: I can't get out! I'm trapped inside by these --- these mushrooms of doom.
Wiggle: (to his small mushroom) Ah. You're too little to be a problem. (sneezes) Ah! Spores.
Holley: No spores indoors.
Wiggle: Look! I'm bouncier than Bounce! (giggles)
Bounce: Mushrooms are rubbery.
Shimmer: It's been raining for days. Is the sun ever coming out again?
Michael Stokes is the writer for both stories and Kathy Paulin-Lougheed is the storyboard artist. Lynn Reist the director for the first story and Neil Affleck is the director for the second.
This marks the first time someone says the titles for the episodes. Also with this episode comes a change in the format for the closing credits. They now run a bit longer and in a smaller font. Additionally, storyboard artists are credited individually for stories and guest characters are credited on a separate screen by both voice actor and character name.
Wiggle reads the title display for "Fungus Among Us" and Squirt reads the title display for "Ground Bound."
Bounce: Hey, Wiggle. Watch this! (He bounces on some mushrooms.) I'm a fun guy too!
Wiggle: This isn't funny, Bounce.
Bounce reprises a joke first made by Dragon in "Stumped!," when Dragon, Pansy, Holley and Miss Spider were out on a mushroom safari.

Loop Retail Historic District is a shopping district within the Chicago Loop community area in Cook County, Illinois, United States. It is bounded by Lake Street to the north, Congress Parkway to the south, State Street to the west and Wabash Avenue to the east. The district has the highest density of National Historic Landmark, National Register of Historic Places and Chicago Landmark designated buildings in Chicago.[1] It hosts several historic buildings including former department store flagship locations Marshall Field and Company Building (now Macy's at State Street), and the Sullivan Center (formerly Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company Building). It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 27, 1998.[1][2] It includes 74 contributing buildings and structures, including 13 separately listed Registered Historic Places, and 22 non-contributing buildings. Other significant buildings in the district include the Joffrey Tower, Chicago Theatre, Palmer House, and Page Brothers Building. It also hosts DePaul University's College of Commerce, which includes the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business and the Robert Morris College.
The district is most commonly associated with department store buildings. In its heyday the district hosted seven prominent department stores from which six buildings remain today. These include the aforementioned Marshall Field and Company Building, and Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company Buildings as well as the National Register of Historic Places A. M. Rothschild & Company Store (pic) at 333 S. State St. The other department store buildings are contributing properties.[1]
The district's period of historic significance was 1872–1949.[1] In the late 1860s, Potter Palmer improved State Street by building his own Palmer House hotel on State Street in 1870.[3] He had also convinced Marshall Field and Levi Leiter to move the Field, Leiter & Co. store to State Street in 1868.[4] Chicago's retailing center was State Street (anchored by Marshall Field's) in the downtown Loop after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.[5] Convenient mass transit such as streetcars and elevated trains, supported a retail corridor along State Street from Lake Street to Van Buren Street.[5] State Street became a shopping destination during the 1900s, and is referred to in Frank Sinatra's song Chicago (That Toddlin' Town), where Frank refers it to "State Street, that Great Street." At one time seven major department stores were situated on State Street: Benson, Rixon, Karolls, Charles A. Stevens and Mandel Brothers (in addition to Marshall Field's and Carson, Pirie Scott).[6]
However Chicago evolved and by the 1920s, commuter suburbs began to have significant retail districts.[5] After 1950, suburban development reduced the role of the Loop's daily significance to many Chicagoans as downtown retail sales slipped. However, the Magnificent Mile kept a luxury shopping district close to the central business district.[7]
In 1979, Chicago Mayor Jane Byrne converted the downtown portion into a pedestrian mall with only bus traffic allowed. Mayor Richard M. Daley oversaw the State Street Revitalization Project and on November 15, 1996, the street was reopened to traffic.[5] In addition, the Chicago Transit Authority Red Line serves State Street and the elevated trains of the Chicago 'L' serve Wabash and Lake streets in this district.[8] Current revitalization is catering to the mix of student residents and other new residents with the newly available residential spaces.[9]

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Many of the women in this video do get relatively large dildos jammed up their orifices, but in most cases the toys rightfully take a backseat to the real cock incorporated into the scene. That's with the obvious exception of the all-girl scene featuring Sandy, Amie, Holly Hollywood and Brooke Hunter that has blonde Sandy taking a fake dick in her pussy and ass at the same time from Hollywood. However, it's the heated boy, girl pairings in the production that should garner the most attention.
The blonde box cover vixen manages to snake a sizable double-ended dildo in her holes simultaneously to d.p. herself before Sascha strolls into the scene. Within moments of his arrival, he has his bone buried deep in the girl's rectum, pulling out occasionally for some serious A2M. Sandra Romain is also her usual tough, exuberant self, never losing control of her toy while also getting thoroughly serviced in all major openings by Lee Stone.
Retailing: This title is more of an anal title than strictly a toy title.

Mike Florio talks with Broncos Executive VP of Football Operations and Hall of Fame quarterback, John Elway about his teams turnaround season and their focus headed into the playoffs. Then, Florio takes calls and tweets from NFL fans.
At a time when Washington hopes it has found its next Bobby Beathard in Scot McCloughan, the original Bobby Beathard will join the ranks of the team's all-time greats.
Washington has announced that Beathard will be inducted into the team's Ring of Fame.
Serving as G.M. from 1978 through 1988, Beathard built a team that went to three Super Bowls, winning two.
He becomes the 49th member of the Ring of Fame. Most recently, Monte Coleman joined the list in December 2015.
Some say that receiver Roddy White's expression of reluctance to sign with a non-contender means he has no viable options anywhere. That's apparently not the case.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, White was — and still is — on the radar in Tennessee. But he won't accept a minimum-salary offer. Andre Johnson did, which is why he was recently signed.
But with Johnson's deal not guaranteed, the Titans can kick tires and, if they decide he can't truly help the team, move on. Possibly back to White.
Other teams to watch for White include the obvious dot-connection to the Buccaneers, where former Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter is the head coach.
Regardless of where White ends up, it's apparently going to take more than the one-year veteran minimum to make it happen. Before a team gets to the point where it's willing to pay that much, it likely will need to evaluate what it currently has.
On Friday, the NFL reinstated defensive end Dion Jordan. On Saturday, Jordan rejoined the Dolphins.
"He is in the building," coach Adam Gase said, via the team's official website. "There's a certain protocol that the league has put out as far as what we need to follow. We're allowed to have certain conversations. He's allowed to do certain type of things or certain areas that he's allowed to be around. Obviously, we're taking everything very slowly.
"We're trying to make sure that we do everything by the book, exactly the way the league wants us to do it. He's trying to do a good job of doing exactly what he's told to do. We are like, you talk about like step one of like 500. It's going to take some time for us to make sure that we do every little thing right for this thing to turn out the right way."
If Jordan is on the roster as of Monday, the Dolphins will owe him a $1.7 million roster bonus. However, as Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald has explained, the Dolphins will retain the roster bonus as partial repayment of the $3.35 million he owes the team in signing bonus money forfeited via his past suspensions.
The CBA allows teams to retain bonus money and salary in order to settle debts over forfeited bonus money. This means that Jordan could be working for free in 2016 and beyond in order to justify retention of the $3.35 million he owes the Dolphins in the wake of his most recent suspension.
That said, the Dolphins could still choose to sever ties with Jordan, avoiding the $1.7 million and still retaining the right to pursue the $3.35 million. For now, it seems they'll welcome Jordan back, help him stay in the league's good graces — and help themselves to his $1.7 million bonus and up to another $1.65 million in future pay.
Along with getting a second-round pick for defensive end Chandler Jones, the Patriots received failed former first-round offensive lineman Jonathan Cooper. The top-10 pick washed out of Arizona due in part to a chronic inability to stay healthy.
In New England, Cooper already is injured.
Per multiple reports, Cooper was carted off on Saturday. It's apparently a foot problem.
Rookie Ted Karras took over for Cooper, who is in his contract year and has every incentive to play and play well for the Patriots.
The image created by the ESPN report that Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins "walked out of camp" is jarring on the surface, inviting the visualization of Hopkins making a one-handed catch in the end zone, spiking the ball, and heading out the tunnel, Bo Jackson-style.
The truth, per a source with knowledge of the situation, is that Hopkins did not report for camp. While the result is the same (he's not there), the procedures are much different.
For a player under contract who does not report, he is subject to fines in the amount of $40,000 per day and possible signing bonus forfeiture. For a player who shows up and then leaves, things can quickly escalate into the ultimate lose-lose outcome.
When a player reports for camp and then later leaves, the team has the ability to send a letter warning him that, in five days, the club has the right to place him on the reserve/left squad list. The standard "five-day letter" explains to the player that, if they do place him in that category, he can't play again this season. After sending the letter and the expiration of the five-day period, the club does not have to place the player on the reserve/left squad list, but it may.
With a player like Hopkins, the idea that the Texans would shut him down for the full season is a little ridiculous. Still, if Hopkins didn't report the "five-day letter" can't be sent, giving the Texans significantly less leverage in the looming standoff.
Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins wants more money, and he's holding out to get it.
Hopkins left training camp and began a holdout this morning, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Last week, Hopkins said he wants the Texans to pay him "what I'm worth," but he did not elaborate on his feelings. By walking out of camp, he has made his feelings clear.
As the 27th overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft, Hopkins is heading into the fourth year of his rookie contract, and he's due a base salary of $1 million this year. That's a bargain for a player of Hopkins' quality, but it's what the Collective Bargaining Agreement dictates.
Next year, the Texans can keep Hopkins by picking up his fifth-year option and paying him $7.915 million. Hopkins is obviously looking for a deal that would pay him considerably more than $8.915 million over the next two years, and more for a few years after that as well.
Recent quotes from Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett created the impression that he possibly would stay away from training camp, due to lingering unhappiness with his contract.
NFL Media reports that, with the Seahawks opening camp on Saturday, Bennett is "in town."
Whether he's "in town" and whether he shows up for camp could be two different propositions. Agent Doug Hendrickson was expected to meet with the Seahawks at some point this week about Bennett's contract. It's unclear whether the meeting already has happened.
Bennett's presence could be a sign that a new deal has been reached, or it could mean that Hendrickson wants Bennett to be "in town" and ready to go in order to dangle to the team the ability to get Bennett to camp right away, if a holdout happens while talks continue.
It's a holdout about nothing, at least from the team's perspective.
With defensive end Joey Bosa, the third overall pick in the draft, officially absent for the start of camp, the team is left to wonder why.
Per a source with knowledge of the team's thinking, the Chargers view the impasse as "strange," given that every penny of Bosa's slotted contract is fully and completely guaranteed. The franchise looks at the remaining areas of the dispute as minimal and trivial, given that most if not all other players on the roster: (1) have offset language attached to their guaranteed money; and (2) accept a deferred percentage of their signing bonus until March of the following year.
The problem seems to be that the Chargers are looking at the negotiation from the perspective of team precedent, and that Bosa's agents are looking at it from the perspective of third-overall-pick precedent. Which is how most agents and teams usually view such negotiations.
So, from that perspective, it would be just as easy for Bosa and his agents to call the team's position "strange."
The cash-flow issue seems small on the surface, given interest rates. But these are significant dollars, with the team trying to retaining the ability to invest or otherwise use the money into next year and the player wanting the money now. Also, the issue is bigger than when the money will be paid; it's a matter of the new rookie wage scale giving teams and agents very little to negotiate when doing these deals. Cash flow regarding the signing bonus is one of the few issues left.
Other players taken at the top of the first round have gotten all of their signing bonus now, or will have it all by October. Bosa is looking to be treated the same way as those players; the Chargers are looking to treat Bosa the same way they have treated other players. (The fact that the Chargers typically don't draft in the top five could be the primary reason for the impasse.)
As to offset language, that issue continues to be a matter of cleaning up the worst-case scenario of a guy getting cut before his four-year contract ends. If it comes to that, whether the Chargers pay the balance of the deal or get credit for the low-end contract Bosa would get elsewhere is a small part of the far bigger problem that they took Bosa when they could have had Jalen Ramsey or some other player who becomes great.
It will be much harder for Bosa to become great right away, if he misses much practice time. And it will be much harder for the Chargers to win at the ballot box in November, if Bosa isn't great right away. The smart move for both sides would be to find a way to compromise. For now, with team and player dug in on both offsets and cash flow, it's going to require someone to blink in the name of the greater goals that both sides have for the relationship.
As the Eagles continue the process of mashing the reset button on a franchise that drifted from its desired path under Chip Kelly, they're bringing home one of the team's all-time greatest.
The Eagles have added safety Brian Dawkins to the scouting staff.
The eight-time Pro Bowler and team Hall of Fame member joins the operation under the Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship, a brand-new effort to introduce former players to scouting.
Dawkins had worked in the media after he retired. His return to the Eagles will be welcomed by plenty of Eagles fans who are still upset that he was once cut.
Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie has collected some fine young talent with the likes of quarterback Derek Carr, receiver Amari Cooper and defensive end Khalil Mack. Now McKenzie has been rewarded for that.
The Raiders have announced that McKenzie has signed a four-year contract extension and is now under contract through the 2021 draft.
"Reggie's contract was up at the end of this year, and we felt was time to reward him for the job that he has done," Raiders owner Mark Davis said.
The Raiders haven't been to the playoffs since 2002, but they're trending in the right direction, and Davis thinks McKenzie's personnel decisions will be the key to bringing a championship to Oakland. Or Las Vegas.
Bears pass rusher Willie Young will be sticking in Chicago for a few more years.
Young and the Bears have agreed to a two-year extension through 2018, Adam Caplan of ESPN reports. Young had been entering the final season of the three-year contract he signed in 2014. The 30-year-old Young says he hopes to retire as a Bear.
Last year Young led the Bears with 12 tackles for loss and was second on the Bears with 6.5 sacks. He also intercepted a pass and returned it 39 yards, and knocked down two passes.
A 2010 seventh-round pick of the Lions, Young played four years in Detroit before leaving for Chicago in free agency. He had a career-high 10 sacks in 2014.
A week from today, Brett Favre will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But while we'll be hearing a lot about his career highlights in the coming days, Favre spoke recently about his lowest moment as a football player.
Favre told Graham Bensinger that the prescription painkiller addiction he beat 20 years ago nearly took control of his life.
"I took 15 Vicodin at one time," Favre said. "Two gave me an effect I liked. After a month, two didn't do anything, so I'd take three . . . and then four and so on. . . . I knew that 15 was hard to come by. A month's prescription is 30 pills or something, depending on what they prescribe for you, and I was going through that in two days. I would ask this guy for pills and that guy for pills, after a while I was going back around pretty quickly."
Favre makes no excuses for his behavior at that time.
"I knew what I was doing — I knew that I didn't necessarily need it but I sure liked the way it felt, and I knew it was wrong," Favre said.
Eventually, Favre made the decision that he had to stop.
"I'd hit rock bottom and I said, I'm going to flush these down the toilet. I remember when I poured them in the toilet and it started to flush, I almost crawled into the toilet to go after them because I thought, 'What in the world did you do?' I was so dependent on them," he said.
Favre says that he actually should have worked with a doctor to wean himself off the painkillers, and he probably harmed himself by how suddenly he stopped.
"I just went cold turkey," he said. "That was the worst month. I shook every night, cold sweats, it was a constant battle."
Favre believes his love of football is what pulled him through.
"The one constant through all that was football, and for me, it was a good place to escape," he said. "It gave me a way to escape but also feel like I was actually doing something good."
Former NFL linebacker Antonio Armstrong and his wife were shot and killed by their teenage son in their home in Houston on Friday, police say.
Police were called to the Armstrongs' home around 1:30 a.m. in response to shots fired, the Houston Chronicle reports. Daun Armstrong died at the scene and Antonio Armstrong died in the hospital a few hours later. KTRK reports that the couple's 16-year-old son has been charged with murder. The couple's two other children were at home at the time but were not harmed.
Relatives described the Armstrongs as a loving family and say they can't imagine what could have led to such a situation.
"They kept them busy and they supported them in everything that they did. There was not any mark that they missed with their children," a cousin of Daun Armstrong told the Houston Chronicle. "There was nothing that even could possibly have justified this situation. This doesn't even make sense."
Antonio Armstrong was an All-American linebacker at Texas A&M and a sixth-round draft pick of the 49ers in 1995. He played briefly for the Dolphins and Rams and then spent four seasons in the Canadian Football League. In retirement he has worked as a personal trainer and was well known in his community as a volunteer youth coach.

Jim Turner, the Dolphins offensive line coach who was fired for his role in a bullying scandal that embroiled the team, spent two years out of football after losing his job in Miami. This offseason he was hired at Texas A&M, where it didn't take him long to get in trouble again.
Texas A&M has suspended Turner and tight ends coach Jeff Banks for two weeks without pay, and ordered them to complete 20 hours of community service, for inappropriate comments they made at an event for female fans.
Among the issues that surfaced at the event were changes to the school's fight song, which presented lyrics including "We are Aggie women/We are filled with estrogen" and "We are putting down our dish towels/And taking off our gloves."
The coaches also gave the women tips on playing football that were filled with sexual double entendres like "No penetration," "Never bend over," and "Don't end up on your back."
Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin quickly moved to suspend Turner and Banks after reports of the sexist comments surfaced.
"There is absolutely no place in our program or in our University community for inappropriate conduct or degrading comments towards women, or anyone, regardless of intent," Sumlin said in a statement.
Turner was fired after an NFL-commissioned investigation found that he fostered an atmosphere in which Dolphins offensive linemen Richie Incognito, John Jerry and Mike Pouncey regularly bullied teammate Jonathan Martin. Among the inappropriate actions Turner is alleged to have taken during his tenure as Dolphins offensive line coach was buying inflatable sex dolls for players as Christmas presents. Turner filed a defamation lawsuit against Ted Wells, the lawyer who led the NFL's investigation.
Turner and Banks issued a joint statement in which they said, "We clearly understand now that our comments and slides were not appropriate or consistent with the values of our football program."
As a pass rusher, Browns rookie Emmanuel Ogbah naturally would play defensive end in a 4-3 defense and linebacker in a 3-4. In Cleveland, where the 3-4 remains the base defense, Ogbah spent the offseason as a linebacker. Now that camp has arrived, the Browns have given him a try at defensive end.
"We're going to try a little bit of everything," coach Hue Jackson told reporters on Friday. "We're going to put our best players out there on defense. Obviously, we are going to try him there. We're going to put him back at outside linebacker. We're just trying to find a lot of different combinations now that Des [Bryant] is going to be down to see if we can put our best guys out there. If he gives us something there, then it's going to help our football team. We're going to try anything and everything that we can to give guys opportunities that showcase their abilities and talents."
Jackson confirmed that Ogbah played linebacker exclusively during OTAs, with the switch happening only in training camp.
"We're going to play him at defensive end some and take a good look at him," Jackson said of Ogbah. "As you guys know, this time of the year is evaluation time for all of our football team. Now, you can do some of that. Move guys around and see what's the best fit for our football team to help us win."
Jackson disputed the notion that Ogbah moved to defensive end because of perceived difficulties with dropping into coverage as a linebacker during the offseason program. Instead, Jackson pointed out that having Ogbah play multiple positions gives the defense a greater degree of flexibility on defense.

India to End Cotton Export Curbs, Lifting China Sales
India, the world's second-largest cotton grower and exporter, will end curbs on overseas sales in the new crop year amid forecasts for a record harvest, said a government official.
"The next season, we won't have these restrictions," A.B. Joshi, the nation's textile commissioner, said in an interview in Mumbai yesterday. The limits applied in April are a "very temporary measure."
India halted export registrations to cool domestic prices and bolster supplies, and then introduced a new permit system for shipments a month later. A bigger local crop and resumption in sales may pressure global cotton prices and reduce costs for Gap Inc., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and J.C. Penney Co., which buy garments from suppliers in South Asia.
"India is a big supplier to some of the key textile-manufacturing countries who had been big importers and who had been fairly short, so this really helps them," Scott Briggs, an agricultural commodities strategist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd., said by phone from Melbourne. "This India move is pretty important." December-delivery futures dropped as much as 0.3 percent to 76.20 cents a pound in after-hours trading on ICE Futures U.S. in New York. The price has climbed 25 percent in the past year after U.S. farmers pared planting in favor of wheat and soybeans. Cotton gained 54 percent in 2009, the most since 1975.
'Tight Stocks'
"We're in a pretty tight physical stocks situation, so we are probably at a level of prices where a fair bit of bullishness is already put in there over a production cost level," said Briggs. "Anything that starts pushing us back toward a surplus is going to quickly erode that premium."
India's production in the year starting Oct. 1 may reach a record as higher prices spur plantings, Joshi said. Output may total as much as 32.5 million bales in the year starting Oct. 1, up from 29.2 million bales, D.K. Nair, secretary general of the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry, said on June 30.
"My expectation is that we will have a very good crop," commissioner Joshi said. "We expect higher cotton output, after meeting the increased domestic demand, there would be a surplus and it will continue to be exported."
India may increase sales to buyers including China, the biggest consumer, Joshi said. The Asian country will lift its import quota by almost 1 million tons and sell more from state reserves to meet a deficit, the China Cotton Association said.
'Increase Competition'
Ending export curbs "would increase competition for U.S. cotton particularly to their next door neighbor, China," Mike Stevens, an independent trader in Mandeville, Louisiana, said by e-mail. "It should help relieve the shortage of supplies."
China accounted for 57 percent of the 7.38 million bales shipped by India from Oct. 1 to June 15, according to data from the textiles commissioner's office. Total shipments were double from the year-earlier period.
"China's appetite is very high, so they would continue to ask for Indian cotton," Joshi said.
Under the new permit system, about 300,000 bales that were registered before the curbs were imposed on April 19 have been permitted for sales to Bangladesh and Pakistan, the commissioner said. The remaining 500,000 bales would be cleared for shipment in the coming months, he said.
"Registered but unshipped quantities are likely to be allowed, not new contracts" in the current season, he said. Next season, the country will scrap the permit system and revert to the export registration regime, he said.
A bale weighs 170 kilograms (375 pounds) in India.

Every time my app crashes Xcode highlights the UIApicationMain() call in the main() function as the line that caused the crash. In some cases that used to be normal (segmentation fault for example) but the crash I am trying to deal with is a simple SIGABRT with detailed information logged in the console:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]: attempt to insert nil value (key: Date)'
Xcode used to show the line just right with older SDKs but since i upgraded to Xocde 4.2 that changed. It is pretty obvious that Xcode knows exactly what caused the crash (or could know), but its still not showing the actual line. Is there any fix or workaround for this?

Statement from Chicago Yacht Club on Race Deaths
by Chicago Yacht Club on 19 Jul 2011
As of Monday, July 18, it has been confirmed by the U. S. Coast Guard and it is with great regret that the Chicago Yacht Club acknowledges the deaths of two sailors who were competing in the 2011 Chicago Yacht Club's Race to Mackinac.
A severe thunderstorm crossed Lake Michigan around midnight EDT last night. Windgusts were reported at 52 knots with waves of 4-6 feet.
The Coast Guard was notified at 12:40 am via VHF radio by crew members from one of the competing boats 'Sociable' that another of the competing boats, 'WingNuts,' had capsized in these severe conditions. Five sailors were pulled from the water on arrival to the scene and one other sailor was later rescued. The six sailors were rescued by the crew of 'Sociable.'
The accident occurred approximately 13 nautical miles northwest of Charlevoix, Michigan, and 10 miles east of South Fox Island.
The 'Sociable' skipper called all boats for assistance on Channel 16 and ten boats in the vicinity immediately abandoned the race to join in search efforts for two missing sailors.
The two lost sailors were 'WingNuts' skipper Mark Morley, 51, and Suzanne Bickel, 41, both from Saginaw, MI.
Mark Morley had 44 years of sailing experience, including six Chicago Mackinacs and 85 qualifying races. Suzanne Bickel had sailed in two previous Chicago-Mackinac Races, with 16 qualifying races.
In a brief statement Commodore Joseph S. Haas said, 'On the behalf of the Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac, the Board of Directors and Flag Officers, we express our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the crew of 'WingNuts.' The crew of this boat exemplified the spirit of the Chicago Mac that is steeped in tradition of family, friends and passion for the water.'
Information will be released as it becomes available.

Races, Regattas and Disruptive Technology
In the olden days, the major cost of attending a regatta for yacht owners and crew was the accommodation and still is. Of course for cruising yachties, traditionally the crew stays on boat, during regatta week, because after all it is replete with dishwasher, washing machine, a good cellar and an oven in which you could cook a roast. For racing boat owners or dinghy owners, life was not so easy.

Life Win Your Own Nobel Peace Prize
posted by December 29 at 16:58 PMon
Okay, so you're not Muhammad Yunus and you didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize this year. You don't have your own bank and you're not willing to go to Malawi to make microfinance loans to a struggling tailor.
A few hundred dollars allows said tailor to buy her material at wholesale prices, thus making it possible to sell at lower prices and have higher profit margins. Basic economics, right? Right. But it's not just dry theory; a small loan at the right time can make the difference between success and failure for a small business.
The problem is, not all of us can make the trip to the market in Mudada, Mozambique to evaluate the loan request of, say, Agostinha Mucombo, who needs $500 to purchase a refrigerator for her small shop. That's where Kiva comes in.
This is from the group's website:
"Kiva was born out of Matthew and Jessica Flannery's combined professional interests, experiences, and expertise. In spring 2004, the couple spent several months working in rural Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda - Jessica as a staff member with Village Enterprise Fund (VEF), and Matthew as a filmmaker. They were struck by the success of hundreds of small businesses started by VEF, the incredible impact of those businesses on their communities, and the vitality and potential of those businesses' entrepreneurs."
So when they returned to the states, they started Kiva to facilitate individuals making small loans to vetted worldwide businesses who then pay them back on an agreed-upon schedule. So far Kiva has a loan repayment rate of 100%.
You can loan as little as 25 bucks to help that tailor in Mexico, or that grocery store owner in Azerbaijan, or that seller of soft drinks in Tanzania.
And why wouldn't you? You've got 25 bucks, right? And you've got faith in humankind, right? Right? Of course you do.
So come on. Make a pre-New Year's resolution. It'll make you feel good.

TORONTO (AP) -- With his latest strong start, Dustin McGowan drew comparisons to a Cy Young award-winning teammate.
McGowan struck out six batters in six innings, Adam Lind hit a two-run homer and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Devils Rays 5-4 Friday night.
Carlos Pena hit his 45th home run and Jorge Velandia had a two-run homer for Tampa Bay. Pena has hit a team-record 12 homers in September.
The Blue Jays have won four of five. Tampa Bay has lost eight of 10.
McGowan (12-10) beat Tampa Bay for the second time this month, drawing praise from Devil Rays manager Joe Maddon.
"That guy is good," Maddon said. "That guy is really good. "He's the clone of (Roy Halladay). For years to come, that's a nice combination they've got working out there."
McGowan, who gave up four runs -- three earned -- in six-plus innings, said he'll spend the winter working on his endurance.
"I want to be one of those 200-inning guys," said McGowan, a third-year right-hander. "Towards the end of the season I felt pretty worn down so that's my goal, to get bigger and stronger."
Catcher Gregg Zaun said McGowan's composure has been the biggest key to his success.
"When things start to go wrong for him, he doesn't start to panic or lose it completely," Zaun said. "He's able to make some pitches and get out of innings, limit the damage.
"We've always known he's had tremendous stuff," Zaun added. "We were just waiting for him to mature a bit a get comfortable in his own skin."
Scott Downs relieved McGowan with two runners on and gave up an infield single to Akinori Iwamura and an RBI grounder to Velandia.
Downs struck out Pena and Greg Norton to end the seventh. Jason Frasor worked a perfect eighth and Jeremy Accardo closed it out in the ninth for his 30th save in 35 opportunities.
Toronto took a 1-0 lead in the fourth when Alex Rios led off with a double and Frank Thomas singled off the glove of Andy Sonnanstine (6-10). Sonnanstine scrambled after the ball, but his throw sailed over the head Pena at first.
Velandia and Pena hit consecutive home runs in the fifth for a 3-1 lead. It was the ninth time this season that Tampa Bay has hit back-to-back homers.
Matt Stairs hit a solo homer in the fifth, and Toronto reclaimed the lead in the sixth when Thomas and Aaron Hill doubled. Lefty Jon Switzer relieved to face the left-handed hitting Lind, who homered on the first pitch.
"I felt good about Switz coming in there," Maddon said. "I liked him on Lind, then Zaun, and then I was going to bring in (Scott) Dohmann on (Hector) Luna. It was all right there for us but they foiled it."
Switzer said Lind connected on a hanging slider.
"It was just a bad pitch," Swizter said. "He got it and did what you're supposed to do."
Sonnanstine lost for the first time in eight starts, allowing four runs and six hits in five-plus innings. He struck out four, hit two batters and his lone walk was intentional.
"The thing with me this year is the first time through the lineup I'm cruising," Sonnanstine said. "The next time through I need to mix it up or do something different because that's really where I'm getting hurt."
Game notes
Hill extended his hitting streak to a career-high 14 games. ... Pena had two hits and a walk.

Cast: Rita Faltoyano, Julian (II), Mark Ashley, Sophia (I), Sean Michaels, Darren James, Manuel Ferrara, Gia Paloma, Elizabeth Lawrence, Steve Holmes (I), Julian (I), Isabel (I)
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Don\'t be fooled by the title - it\'s all about lust.
The way porno girls swoon over Julian, there's little question the guy could get pretty much anyone to perform with and/or for him, and he does a great job assembling hotties for Lipstick.
Rita Faltoyano, AVN's 2003 Female Foreign Performer of the Year and this title's cover girl, is always a draw. Other quality hires: the lovely Gia Paloma, an extremely horny honey who is making a very respectable bid for Best New Starlet and clinches a pre-nom for same. Aussie Elizabeth Lawrence is quite a firecracker as well.
There isn't an inordinate amount of attention given to lipstick or lingerie, but there is plenty of great sex.
