Just wanted to add that Pelican has great customer service. I had an old Pelican bulb flashlight that suddenly went out. An email to Pelican, a response with work order number, sent my old flashlight, and receiving a new and better led flashlight took less than two weeks. Just had to send a check for $4 but received a flashlight that's worth twice as much as my old flashlight. Just my 2 cents on Pelican.

An Antioch, Tenn., woman was jailed Tuesday night after she allegedly threatened to kill White County Sheriff's Deputy Scott Cantrell.
A sheriff's office incident report said Cantrell responded to a report of a traffic crash in rural White County near County Road 1500 North and 1500 East, northeast of Carmi, about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Cantrell found Pamela D. Braden, 47, with the crashed 2011 Suzuki and noted the vehicle was now mired in mud after crashing in a ditch.
Braden was not injured but the vehicle sustained significant damage, rendering it inoperable. Conditions were not favorable to have a tow truck at the scene due to the mud. Braden was transported to the sheriff's office where she contacted a family member.
The report said the family member told Cantrell she would not be able to arrive in Carmi to pick up Braden until Wednesday. She also said she would make arrangements for Braden to stay at a motel in Grayville. Braden was allowed to wait in the sheriff's office until the arrangements were made for the motel room.
The report said Cantrell was summoned to the sheriff's office around 11:36 p.m. Tuesday. He was told the motel arrangements were made so he went to offer Braden a ride to Grayville to check in at the motel. However, the report alleged Braden had climbed on to a shelf and refused to come down.
Once coaxed to the floor, she allegedly threatened to kill Cantrell. Despite repeated requests to accept a ride to the motel, Braden became gradually more aggressive and was mumbling incoherently.
Due to the alleged threat and irrational behavior, she was booked into the City-County Jail pending $150 cash bail on a preliminary disorderly conduct charge.

The company referred to the project as 'postponed' and said the problem was that shippers were not interested in sending oil to the pipeline's proposed destination at the oil storage hub of Cushing, Okla., currently the site of a supply glut that has helped keep US benchmark oil prices low.
By BEN LEFEBVRE
Oneok could revive its cancelled Bakken Oil Express project if producers can agree on a
new destination point for the proposed 200,000-bpd pipeline,
the company's chief executive said Thursday.
Oil production in the Bakken shale formation in North Dakota
reached a record high of 728,000 bpd in September, according to
the latest data from the North Dakota Department of Mineral
Refiners in the Gulf Coast and East Coast have depended on
trains to acquire much of that oil, however, because not enough
pipelines exist in the Bakken region to transport all the oil
Oneok cancelled its Bakken Oil Express plans Tuesday, citing
insufficient shipper interest. But CEO John Gibson referred to
the project as 'postponed' at an
investors conference Thursday and said the problem was that
shippers were not interested in sending oil to the pipeline's
proposed destination at the oil storage hub of Cushing, Okla.,
currently the site of a supply glut that has helped keep US
benchmark oil prices low.
About 45.9 million bbl of oil were storied in
Cushing during the fourth week of November, up nearly 50% from
the year before, according to the US Energy Information
The glut, brought about by a technology-driven oil production
boom, has kept US benchmark oil prices about $20 cheaper than
European benchmark Brent.
"Producers need to decide where they ultimately want their
crude oil to end up," Mr. Gibson said at the conference. "We
still believe that the efficiency and reliability of pipelines will
provide the most efficient solution" for transporting crude oil
from the Bakken shale formation.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Is there a way to make a wood fire that is good for cooking? Why is it better than others? Assume little to no wind. Would it make a difference if I cooking hot dogs on a stick or a steak?
It depends on what you are cooking
If you are just roasting on a stick, that's all you need to know. Just get a flame and roast. However if you have other things...
I learned how to build a cooking fire in Boy Scouts. Build the fire, and then let it burn down. The bright dancing flames are more fun for recreation, but are not helpful for cooking. When you have a bed of hot embers, that is a good cooking fire. Little or no flame, just a good source of heat. Embers are hotter than flame, too.
A really simple, but effective fire is the 'Hunters Fire'.
Basically you make a 'V' shape with two logs with the point in the same direction as the prevailing wind.
The V shape allows you to support pots of varying diameter down the length of the fire.
Light the fire in the middle. Sit a pot at the point of the V (wind blows flames under and around pot). Scrape coals from fire to the open end of the V to cook over.
If you have a single smallish fireplace and you can't move coals from a bigger, main fire to a special cooking spot, you can run into the problem of the fire/embers/coals burning down and getting cold.
You can solve this by adding small pieces of wood - about 1" to 1.5" around - which will add heat without adding too much flame.
You need to keep a close watch on the heat as you add them, and only feed 1 or 2 at a time and let it stabilize.
The small size lets you control the added heat better - you don't want sudden flare-ups, and you don't want to block the heat while bigger chunks catch on. I try to use round, non-split pieces since they seem to burn slower and longer.

Additionally, is there any intuitive way to visualize the cardinalities that result?
I think your reading is wrong. Set theorists have studied all sorts of additional axioms, some implying CH, some being strictly weaker than CH, and many contradicting CH. My understanding is that most set theorists today, if they have any opinion on the matter, prefer to think that CH is false. In particular, Woodin has recently advanced a philosophical argument for a strong additional axiom of set theory that implies that the continuum is \aleph_2.
However, the fact of the matter is that CH has very little effect on "ordinary mathematics". You can come up with a few down-to-earth seeming combinatorial statements that are equivalent to CH, but it really just never comes up if you never deal with objects that are either very infinite or are infinite and don't have a lot of structure attached to them. For reference, it is consistent for the cardinality of the real numbers to be almost any uncountable cardinality (the only requirement is that it have uncountable cofinality.
I don't have time now, but if you want more references on this I can try and add some later.
Let {fj} be a collection of analytic functions, with j ranging over some index set J. Suppose that for every fixed complex number z, the set {fj(z)} is countable. Does it follow that J itself is countable? In other words, can you have uncountably many different analytic functions such that they only obtain countably many values at each point?
You asked "What if the continuum hypothesis were false". Well, if it were, then it would follow that J must be countable. If, on the other hand, CH is true, then you can build an uncountable family of such functions. It's a peculiar instance where a somewhat "pathological" construction requires CH to be true, while if it is false then no such pathology can occur.
This is just one random example - as Eric mentioned, a lot of people have looked into what CH and not-CH imply and are implied by. Saharon Shelah, in particular, published extensively on the question of what Aleph could the cardinality of the continuum possibly be.
Reading the comments, I just realized that part of your question asks about what sets of intermediate cardinality would look like. As Richard and John Goodrick pointed out, there are straightforward definitions of ordinals of intermediate cardinality. But I assume the question is more about whether there are any sets of real numbers with intermediate cardinality, and what such sets of reals would look like.
It's not too hard to use the ordinals to cook up some sets of real numbers. (For instance, there's probably a definable way to represent each countable ordinal by a real number, and then the set of representations will itself be of intermediate cardinality.) But as far as I know, no one has come up with any direct characterization of a set of real numbers that could have intermediate cardinality.
There are a lot of negative results though. The first is the Cantor-Bendixson theorem, which states that no closed set can have intermediate cardinality. (The theorem shows that every closed set is either countable or has a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_set_property>perfect subset. Since perfect sets have cardinality of the continuum this means they can't be intermediate.)
In fact, some difficult work of Martin and others in the '70s showed (using just ZF) that Borel determinacy is true, which among other things entails that every Borel set is either countable or has a perfect subset. If we further assume projective determinacy (which set theorists tend to believe) then the same is true for projective sets.
Thus, any set of intermediate cardinality has to be pretty weird. It can't be closed, it can't even be Borel, and (if set theorists are right about projective determinacy) it can't even be projective. Thus, it must be pretty crazy, just as we know about non-measurable sets. (Though there's no guarantee that intermediate cardinality goes along with non-measurability - Martin's Axiom guarantees that in fact every set of intermediate cardinality is measurable and has measure 0.)
Under ZFC, the negation of CH is actually equivalent to Freiling's "Axiom of Symmetry". Wikipedia says this equivalence was proven by Sierpinski.
Freiling's axiom is fairly intuitive, in that it basically says that (countable) discrete invariants on the reals disagree at points, for "probabilistic" reasons. I think it makes a pretty cool argument against CH :)
Usually it is difficult to prove something from just not CH, much like if the parallel postulate fails, you want to distinguish between hyperbolic and elliptic geometries. There are lots of interesting models of ZFC where CH is false. One common example is a model where Martin's Axiom holds. Not CH + Martin's Axiom does lots of interesting things like provide a counterexample to the Whitehead Problem, or prove Kaplansky's Conjecture. Woodin's Pmax forcing produces a model in which CH is false in an "effective" way. The model produced also has absoluteness properties similar to Godel's constructible universe L (the canonical model where CH is true).
Also, I would say most people (at least set theorists) who think CH has an answer (whatever that means) think that it is probably false.
Alon: "Saharon Shelah, in particular, published extensively on the question of what Aleph could the cardinality of the continuum possibly be."
Actually this question (and much more) is answered by a theorem of W.B. Easton from 1970. It turns out that the continuum could be any infinite cardinality of uncountable cofinality! (At least if we assume that the axioms ZFC are consistent, which most people are happy to do.)
See Easton's Theorem, which is proved by a variation of the forcing method originally used by Paul Cohen to get that ZFC + not-CH is equiconsistent with ZFC:
So, e.g. the continuum could be aleph_1, or aleph_17, or even the 23rd Woodin cardinal (if you believe in such things), but it could NOT be aleph_omega (this would violate Konig's Lemma).
Shelah has made many contributions to "cardinal arithmetic" and what kinds of bounds can be proved for cardinal exponents just in ZFC. This gets pretty technical pretty fast, but you can get the flavor of it here:
People have done a lot on CH. I don't know how to answer the comments but at a recent conference in Bedlewo, Hugh Woodin actually claimed that CH is true in the true model of ZFC. A new picture of V has been emerging in which CH is true along with GCH. There are of course many set theorists who don't believe in true V, but Woodin's work, if everything works out, will be a phenomenal piece of set theory which will identify unarguable the true core model of ZFC. Think of the situation like this. If 0^# doesn't exist that there are few who will argue that L isn't the core model of ZFC, ``core" here just means the largest canonical. In that sense, he basically identified the model without putting any large cardinal restrictions on the universe. Whether the model is itself the true universe of set theory is an entirely different matter.
There is an alternative approach to CH via forcing axioms and etc. Justin Moore has obtained some really deep recent results on this.
I have an objection to the way in which the question and some of the answers are phrased. To me it seems meaningless to ask whether the Continuum Hypothesis is "true" or "false". It is of course meaningful to ask whether CH is true or false in a given model. But unless you can reveal to me some objective world of sets, I'll have no idea what you mean by CH being "true" or "false" in an absolute sense.
It's like asking whether the parallel postulate is "true" or "false". There are geometrical systems in which it's true, and geometrical systems in which it's false; end of story. Similarly, we know that from any model of ZFC, one can build (i) another model of ZFC in which CH is true, and (ii) another model of ZFC in which CH is false.
I know what the original question is asking, but I'm surprised that so many people continue to use this language. The same goes for the Axiom of Choice; it amazes me when people argue about whether it's "true" or "false".
A more interesting question is what cardinalities would be like if the Axiom of Choice were false. AC was proven independent of ZF by Cohen at the same time as CH was (the positive consistency results were both proven by Godel in the 1930s with the "constructible hierarchy" L, while Cohen's method of forcing produced two different models giving the negative consistency results). AC is of course equivalent to the well-ordering theorem, which states that every set can be well-ordered. Thus, with AC, we can always represent every cardinality by the least ordinal of that size. Among other things, this ensures that cardinalities are linearly ordered
Without AC we no longer get this constraint. Cantor's theorem tells us that the power set of a given set is larger than that set. There is also a function, called "Hartog's aleph" (I don't know if the name has one or two "g"s - google has several hits with each spelling, but not many, and the first hit on one seems to be some lecture notes I wrote a while ago while the first hit on the other is the book I first learned about this from) that has similar behavior. We know that there is no set whose cardinality is greater than that of every ordinal (because then there would be a set of all ordinals, which gives rise to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burali-Forti_paradox>Burali-Forti paradox). Since the ordinals are well-ordered, for any given set S we can define \aleph(S) to be the least ordinal whose cardinality is not less than that of S. If P denotes the power set function, then it's not hard to show that P(P(P(P(S)))) > \aleph(S), and I think with a little work you can get that down to 3 or maybe even 2 iterations of P. However, in general P(S) and \aleph(S) will be incomparable, even if S itself was well-orderable. (This contrasts with the situation with choice, where we know that P(S) \geq \aleph(S).)
If we further assume the Axiom of Determinacy as a replacement for choice, I think there is also strange behavior, like \aleph_1 turns out to be a measurable cardinal, and there are something like only five cardinals strictly smaller than the continuum.
But there's probably lots of interesting stuff in this area.
You must start slightly further back. The Axiom of Choice (AC) and the Axiom of Determinacy (AD) are both very desirable, but contradict one another. We usually feel AC has more claim to truth since AC is equivalent to "a cartesian project of non-empty sets is non-empty". So set theorists found weaker versions of AD that don't contradict AC, one being the Axiom of Projective Determinacy.
These determinacy axioms basically say that infinite sets behave slightly more like finite sets than one might otherwise imagine. In particular, determinacy axioms have always been found to be equi-consistent with various large cardinal axioms, i.e. axioms that create some cardinal(s) far larger than any that came before. A good example of a large cardinal is just the omega, set of all integers, i.e. the axiom of infinity. You cannot prove that large cardinal axioms are consistent outright, yet they have extremely clear motivation and are unlikely to be inconsistent.
CH seems independent of these large cardinal axioms themselves, but Woodin showed that CH contradicts one compelling determinacy axiom.
Btw, Freiling's axiom of symmetry (AX) is apparently equivalent to not CH.

Indexing is a key activity in CAD modeling. Arbitrary indexing of the models invariably leads to problems, as discussed in this article.
[engineering and design]
[engineering and construction]
Modeling a plant in a three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided
design (CAD) environment and digitizing of the
existing setup are becoming trends due to the immense benefits
these features provide to owners and plant operators. They not
only bring visualization, but they also provide ample
opportunities to all contributors to the project to take preventive actions
through model reviews and data analysis.
Indexing is a key activity in CAD modeling. Arbitrary
indexing of the models invariably leads to problems, as
discussed in this article.
CAD supports the entire workflow of all functional groups.
Historically, it has benefited the engineering and construction
contractor. The benefits come from improved accuracy and
constructability, fewer engineering work-hours, lower material
surpluses and shorter schedules.1
The utility of the CAD plant is not limited to engineering
and construction. Its benefits can be
extended to other functional groups like operations,
inspection, etc. This article attempts to create awareness of
plant indexing methods and explore opportunities for
contribution by all functional groups to improve the utility of
plant digitization.
The digitization of todays plant is not limited to
assigning location coordinates to graphical components of the
plant (Fig. 1). Various developments occur
when linking the databases of other functional groups, which
eventually increases the utility index of the digital
Fig. 1. CAD plant
Indexing is the process of organizing the physical area or
components of the plant into logical parts. These logics are
developed during the initial stages of CAD. Model boundaries
are finalized based on process systems and the mobilization of
modelers. These boundariesreferred to as CAD
areasare discussed with piping, structural and electrical
design groups, as every discipline must follow the same model
In a complex containing many plants, it is common to find
rack areas with different CAD names beginning with the letters
D, H, J, etc. (Fig. 2). However, there are
benefits in standardizing the rack CAD areas of all plants to
begin with the letter R (Fig. 3).
In this way, a project manager can focus on these areas to
prioritize engineering and procurement efforts and to clarify
the design for the construction team. A construction manager can easily
identify the rack isometrics from the lot for prompt

Once the CAD area is finalized and deliverables commence, it
is not practical to make changes to the CAD area, as this could
result in undesirable revisions to deliverables. Therefore, the
optimization process for the CAD area must be carried out well
in advance. Instead of finalizing CAD area classification based
on process systems and mobilized modelers, it is prudent to
consider this classifications influence on all functional
groups at various lifecycle stages of the plant.
Plant design and layout are conceptualized and developed in
the CAD development stage (Fig. 4). Job
division and mobilization of skilled modelers for design
development activities are considered major factors for CAD
area classification. A small number of CAD areas may result in
model allocation difficulties, thus limiting CAD modeler
mobilization and ultimately affecting progress. A large number
of CAD areas may result in increased clashes and interfaces, as
well as in design-check instances requiring relevant management
tools. Optimization on the number of CAD areas is necessary for
efficient CAD development activity.

CAD model files in CAD
areas of a typical inside-battery-limits
In the procurement stage, cost benefits are realized from
discounts for bulk purchases. Materials are grouped
irrespective of their CAD areas to attain maximum discounts.
The ideal situation is to begin procurement after engineering
completion; however, this is not a practical approach most of
the time. The project team must prioritize
engineering activities and optimize procurement actions to
provide a relevant construction front and make planned
progress. A well-thought-out CAD area classification can help
the project team set priorities and envisage the construction
In the construction stage, the work front depends on the
availability of drawings and materials. The available work
front is generally divided into various construction work areas
(CWAs). These areas require different types of skilled labor
(e.g., rack, compressor, pump, column and reactor area). A
carefully developed CAD area classification that takes CWAs
into consideration avoids the need to split isometrics into two
or three parts. This can save substantial construction efforts
and prevent compilation problems.
Consider a case where piping modeled in a single CAD area is
to be constructed from a column overhead to the receiver over
the rack (Fig. 5). In such cases, the
construction team typically splits the drawings to respective
CWAs and distributes them to various contractors.
Fig. 5. Concept of
construction work area
Such situations end in responsibility distribution problems,
especially during hydrotesting or mechanical completion of the
system. Commercial justification is needed when the single
drawing is billed by more than one contractor. However, a
carefully developed CAD area that takes these issues into
account will avoid such situations and allow construction
managers to focus on priority activities.
Improper indexing can cause a number of difficulties. Cases
of arbitrary indexing include the following:
In one case study, the plant inspection group called for a
database structure for tagging the inspection history of lines
as a way of developing a future inspection strategy. The plant
was experiencing problems with the existing CAD index due to
CAD area overlaps and the same area in multiple locations
(Fig. 6).
Fig. 6. Rack area
with CAD indexing issues.
A breakthrough was achieved by restructuring the indexing of
the racks with unique index names (UINs). Negative effects on
existing deliverables were avoided by mapping the new UINs with
the existing CAD index. This approach not only resolved the
problem, but it also opened avenues for other functional groups
to link their databases to the digital plant.
The entire lifecycle of the planti.e., commissioning,
maintenance and revampare
affected by CAD area classification. A refined CAD area
classification can simplify data tagging of all functional
groups in the digital plant map. This process may lead to new
data interpretation approaches, which may help in structured
work plans and controlled job distribution to third-party
experts. Safety and value-addition initiatives can be easily
incorporated at all plants, and information exchange across
functional groups creates opportunities to dissolve barriers
between them.
Indexing the digital plant is critical for all contributors
to the project, and it has substantial
influence on the entire lifecycle of the plant. The active
participation of all stakeholders during the process is
encouraged to improve the utility indexing of the digital
plant. Utility indexing by all functional groups in the
lifecycle of the plant indicates that pivotal information
exchanges are taking place, thus helping to avoid the side
effects of departmentalization.
Proper indexing not only improves the ability to respond to
opportunities and challenges, but it also provides the
possibility of exploring untapped areas of improvement to
achieve accuracy and encourage competitiveness.

Hey there . Im currently doing my architectural thesis at victora university of New Zealand looking at onshore oil and gas sites around new Zealand and looking into the architectural benefits of using the hydrocarbons and geothermal benefits that exists once the sites are abandoned. What I am after is a Cad 3d model of a onshore and gas site and I was wondering where would be the best place to get this from? the ones youve drawn here look incedible and they would be really help if I could get hold of part of the model or the whole thing or if you could even direct me to another contact that could lend me a 3d model of a site.Thanks David

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

and Welcome to the Forums
You going to turn this into a career JackJameson?
and Welcome to the Forums
I am back after 2months of no internet as i moved into a flat with my gf. Still been playing FM, including saves with Horsham, Lubeck, Calais and a Singapore team. I'm looking to get back into a decent save that i can update in this forum and i've downloaded a created database where the Faroe Islands have been added instead of the Peruvian leagues. What are peoples views on making updates on a save in here with a Faroese team?
Right on Fm10 when its released im going to start a LLM type career which will hopefuly take me to the top. And well what would you say is the best way in writing up about it> Say play a month or two then right about it and post as an update or type it up on word then post as one? As your the ones hopefully going to be reading it i thought id ask.
I would say it depends on how often you can post and keep it interesting. If I posted more than once a season, I wouldn't be able to think of anything to say! Whereas some of the guys on here can write really good threads updating after every match. It's down to personal preference really, just keep it interesting!
Last edited by lollujo; 06-10-2009 at 19:32.
okay cheers for the response guys.
So daf what do you think of the anecdote thread.
Im sure there are loads of people who would use that, I would.
We interrupt this discussion for a friendly word from your cousins at FMS.
There was talk at one point about awards for this forum, after you get your feet on the ground a bit. To show you how we do it, you're invited to the 2009 FMS Awards Extravaganza, Beach Party and Clam Bake, to be held in our part of the forums on Sunday, 25th October beginning at or about 8:00 p.m. GMT.
(Okay, maybe not those last two ....)
Carry on!
Thanks, I may pop in and take a look
Im predicting a deluge of new threads to coincide with the new game.
I really want to complete dafuge's challenge and keep up with it this year.
I'll probably stick in my FM09 save, considering that I won't get FM10 till Christmas (or somewhere around that date, after uni exams).
who will people be choosing for there careers. im stuck in picking a team.
I'll do another Stockport career on here soon after release. I tried a couple for FM09 but they never really got going, but will definately do one for FM10
imthinking wrexham as im from wales
Hi Dafuge,
Is your challenge likely to be set much lower down the non league pyramid this year considering the potential with the Competition editor? Or do you expect it to continue with just the leagues in the original release?
I dont do what my first save shall be... An unemployed start or a Norwich save....
Unemployed with the aim of ending up at Norwich?
Norwich with the chances of being unemployed?
Am stuck with who to do too, got three choices as I see it:
1. Spurs
Pro - Glamourous, money to spend, no rules on Internationals
Cons - Been there, done that, lacks a good challenge
2. Dafuge's Challenge
Pro - Good community, challenging
Cons - No International mgmt, no moving clubs
3. Career Game
Pro - Can do what I want
Cons - Lacks interest from others making it boring?
Well because I've never done International management in FM09 for some reason; it's made me more interested in doing it this time around, so I'd want to do it from the start. However it going to be a couple of weeks before I start this game due to a holiday so I'll probably change my mind and do what you done with Dartford - plus if it goes as well as last year I'll not want to move clubs
Who is going to do new a career thread and with what club this FM?
I'm going to start with Lyon and hopefully will also be posting in here about it.
True MeLikeFM
I think I'll stick with Dafuge's challenge but might still post updates about it in here as well like Dafuge did with Dartford, although it depends how much time I have to do proper updates. Currently plan to start as Truro, although if the rumours about their poor reputation are true then Tonbridge Angels will be my spare choice. Hopefully I won't change my mind now although it will be around two-weeks before I can play due to holiday.
Have we had any more thought going into whether a Awards Ceremony is going to take place this year (unlikely I know) or next year?
To be honest my opinion is that we have enough careers to begin an awards night, evan if it only covers a few catagories.
Best Career
Best Writer
Best Lay Out
Rough suggestions but giving my idea on the subject..
I don't think there's much point, this forum has only been up for a few months. I can't see the point in having an Awards Ceremony for the sake of having one, I think next year around the summer is the best time for award ceremonies as the game has been out long enough and there's still enough interest in it (this is what happens in the Challenges, Sign Up and Experiments' forum).
Most of the threads in here are quite short or have been written retrospectively for games which have already been played, people haven't really had the opportunity to create brilliant career threads. A full year with FM10 will mean a whole load of new threads written 'live' from the very start, which will be a lot more interesting than what we currently have.
I think this forum is really going to pick up once the new game is released, I expect a lot more active threads than we currently have.
Another reason for waiting is that this forum doesn't have too many people following it at the moment, there only ever seems to be 3 or 4 people viewing it. An awards ceremony really needs a much bigger user base for it to work, which we may have after FM10.
Pardon my butting in, gentlemen, but if you want a completely unsolicited opinion, you're probably a year or so away from being really ready for an awards presentation.
Just a reminder also that the FMS Awards are being presented tonight at 8:00 p.m. GMT. As a way to get your thinking started should you go down that route, here's a reminder of the awards we're giving our writers:
Best Short Story
Best Challenge Story
Best Super League / Fantasy Story

FMS Hall of Fame Voting
Best International Management Story
Best "Rest of World" Story (i.e. outside Europe)
Best "Rest of Europe" Story (i.e. outside Home Nations)
Best Celtic Story (and no, that's not Old Firm - it's Ireland and Scotland)
Best English Story
Best Story Character
Funniest Story
Funniest Writer
Best Newcomer
Story of the Year
Writer of the Year
FMSer of the Year
Hope to see some of you there! Bring your blindfold ... the 'location' of this year's awards is a closely guarded secret!
I'll certainly be posting in here once FM10 launches properly! Ive always taken over Liverpool until last year when I took over Southport and made it all the way to the CCC before a user malfunction when rebuilding my computer
Ill be off back to Haig Avenue on friday and aiming to take them all the way to the Premiership and into Europe
I'll do my best. I'll be posting but it won't look pretty probably.
With the new game being released tomorrow I'm expecting quite a few new threads starting soon. Rather than us all putting [FM10] at the start of our titles, would people prefer it if I just add [FM09] to the start of all the old thread titles?
That would probably be better as I suspect there will more FM10 threads than FM09 threads.
Hi guys,
I'm intending to spend most of my FM10 time here once my copy of the game arrives. Still debating which leagues to run... I was thinking either at least one on each continent or running leagues where English/British managers have had some success (e.g. Spain, Portugal, Italy, Holland, Turkey, Scandanavia and a few Asian ones). The only problem is I wouldn't be able to include South American leagues (unless there's an English manager I don't know about...) and I would like to go back there..
Do you really need to tag the game version? Does it matter?
I might have to join you here Dodgee - I don't think I will be able to afford the time to create a sign up etc and the one thing that sometimes puts me off the small to big club challenges is the limitation of just 1 country's league, so I think my progress will be documented here.
Hopefully by the time I have the game on Tuesday some whizz kid has already processed the lower leagues of Italian Football, so I can begin on Mark 2 of The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro!
My last few major saves on FM have all ended up being small to big club challenges and I haven't really had a career at more than one club since FM06 so it's about time! For now though, I'm waiting for my game to show up (stupid Turkish shopping website said they'd have it on UK release day and the shops wouldn't - turns out the reverse was true ) and trying to decide which leagues to run. Right now, I'm leaning towards England, Spain and Turkey witj a few South American and Asian leagues thrown in as well.
I'm looking forward to posting my Billericay career in here, this way I can do detailed reports and not fear they'll get lost forever in dafuge's thread itself.
Rule 5 seems a bit odd, as we would like to put in a good word for nice updates (thereby KUTGW).
Could a mod please close and delete my Zenit thread? I've just realised I'm playing with a small database and I hate that so I'll have to start again.
Done Mike
Mod Requests Thread
I looked for a Mod Requests Thread and didn't see one! :o
At last! My copy of FM10 was waiting for me when I got home today. Installing now and having a final think about what leagues to run for my new career.
Hey guys - come over and check in with my Arsenal career. Last year I had a decent thread going using forumers as Assistant Managers and it makes the game a bit more interesting. It has started, so please take a look and contribute whenever/however you can!
I'm sure advertising in here is strictly not allowed
Surely thats exactly what it's for?!
no, it really isn't. This thread is to discuss the forum as a whole and how it could be improved etc, it's not simply a case of everyone posting links to their threads.
I thought I could remember Hopey or Purefun posting in here about countries they've included on their save, but after going through the 5 pages I'm obviously mistaken - it must be somewhere else!
The post was interesting because whoever it was talked about including countries around the one you manage in because it can be easier to get players loaned.
Does anyone remember this, or have views on it/do something similar?
I'll be starting my save over the weekend, and I'll be posting it here - I was just wanting to re-read this post.
My advice (assuming you're starting in England like I do) is to also load all the other big nations. This ensures lots of good newgens as the game goes on, which stops you from signing all the best players in the world and making the game too easy.
I'm currently running all leagues from Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, on a large database. It also stops England from dominating internationally as the game goes on. I've added Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland to that list before, which helps when you're in the lower leagues as there are more players to choose from closer to home. It doensn't make any difference once you work your way up to a big club though, so I left them out this time as I don't have any intention of managing in any of those countries.
This is something to consider, which I'm not sure of. When you're in lower leagues, you may only be allowed to scout your border countries; but as you say, any of those lower leagues become redundant later on - unless you can loan players to them. I'm undecided on this.I've added Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland to that list before, which helps when you're in the lower leagues as there are more players to choose from closer to home. It doensn't make any difference once you work your way up to a big club though, so I left them out this time as I don't have any intention of managing in any of those countries.
Going to start up a new game for report in the next few days but wanted to ask the community a question first.
Shall I include a player career like I did in my last save "A Tale Of Two Saxons" or just focus on the managerial career?
Also names for the thread title welcomed, the one chosen shall recive a prize..
Is there a general rule between the openings of two different career threads?
All I've done is add a new editor file and started a new save and my custom graphics aren't working
Bloody hell!
Have sorted your config file out properly?
FM can be cruel sometimes! Glad they're working now.
Christ! This German 4th division is tough. I'm not even putting my name on my office door this time. I was insecure in October! I've turned it around a little for the moment. I've got a media prediction of 4th - the 3 teams favoured in front of me are considerably better, but then there's about another 5 just as good as me!
Playing quite well this time, with my usual 433 - just lacking a goal or two as usual. Finances are very healthy this time too. So I'll be gutted if I end up getting sacked again.
I'm not opening another thread though, just in case
33 played, 13 to go. Hanging on to the last play-off slot - 7th! Even if we make the play-offs we'll struggle to go up, as the top 3 teams are class apart from us and one of them will be in those matches. But I'd be happy with the seasons performance if we could make it to those games. Even though we've got a media prediction of 4th I think I'd keep my job too (and that would let me start a thread!!)
EDIT: my scouts found a player with a 9 letter name, only 1 of them a vowel!! LOL. Czyszczon - beat that
This forum is really dead, we need to advertise it round the forums just like CSE did with a sticky at the top promoting their monthly challenges.
That wasn't to advertise CSE, it was just so there was a cross-forum challenge, and tbf it didn't do anything to boost the amount of people in CSE as far as I am aware anyway.
I think people are already aware of this forum, it has been publicised in GD quite a bit and we have already had a few people over from FMS and LLM. I just think that it will only appeal to a smallish number of people (a bit like the two aforementioned forums) so will always have a relatively small number of visitors.
This forum is not dead. It's basically like what dafuge said. It doesn't appeal to most people. I prefer here and CSE the most because it's a smaller community. And also no heated arguments/whinings/'it's your tactics' stuff unlike that GD place.
Anyway, I've been internet-less for a couple of months now, but moving tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to start writing up my Scandinavian career on FM10 soon.
Glad to see the community is still going well on here, and there are a number of interesting games going on from what I can see
Well Hi to you all I just really stumbled upon what goes on over here when I was looking at the Journeyman career thread. Took time to have a look and I am hooked and have even started a career thread to show my first ever Journeyman career.
So to you all thanks for all your efforts and I am going to spread the word of this forum to the members of a Clan game I jointly run and I might post a career thread showing what goes on with our managers over there but that might be alot of work so we will see.
guys how do you do coding?
depends what you want to code and what language as theres 1000s out there
ummmmm well like a career box so i can write my career up
Like this you mean?Code:Career summary
[code*]enter your career summary here[/code*] - minus the asteriks.
yeh thank you
just checking i got it lolCode:Blue sqaure premier pormoted
Just started a save with Eintracht Frankfurt, but I'm going to let it roll for 6 months or so before opening a thread.
We're going to take the Bundesliga by storm - but nobody's told the bookies! 1000-1 :o They'll regret that price when you lot pile on

WEIRTON - The smile on little James Fletcher's face was a giveaway.
Fletcher, 7, his younger brother Joseph, 6, and cousin Abbey Pratt were guests of honor Monday when some two dozen volunteers gathered to release more than 5,000 pounds of trout into streams and lakes in Hancock County.
The annual trout stocking, funded with a $7,500 grant from the county and $7,500 obtained through the efforts of state Senators Jack Yost and Rocky Fitzsimmons, is dedicated to the memory of an individual who works to further the sport.

STOCKING TIME — James Fletcher, 7, releases a Rainbow Trout Monday into the waters of Kings Creek with the help of Rich Pratt, kneeling, and Paul Tokash. More than 5,000 pounds of trout were stocked Monday in Kings Creek and at Tomlinson Run. -- Linda Harris
This year's honoree was the late Robert Pratt, an avid outdoorsman who had generously volunteered his time year after year to help stock Hancock County waterways with trout. "He passed away in September 2012 after a courageous battle with cancer," event organizer Ed Bowman said. "We deeply appreciate all the work he did."
The boys, dressed in T-shirts bearing their grandfather's name as well as the names of fishing holes along Kings Creek, waited impatiently for their buckets to be filled with fish, then scampered down the bank to release them, much to the delight of family members who'd gathered for the remembrance.
Also assisting the Kings Creek stocking was Elijah Connell, 11, of Steubenville, who used it as a scouting project. Connell is graduating from Cub Scouts to Webelo and is working on his Arrow of Light award.
Adult volunteers also stocked Tomlinson Run.

15 Mind-Blowing Old-Timey Photos You Won't Believe Are Real
#7. The Corduroy Werewolf
Clearly, the film universes of Michael J. Fox have collided, and Teen Wolf's dad has traveled back in time to put on a suede jacket and pose for a picture. That, or it's Stephan Bibrowski, a man made famous by Barnum and Bailey Circus as Lionel the Lion-Faced Man, for reasons that should be immediately apparent.
Because they didn't know who Chewbacca was back then.
The super-hairiness is the result of a condition known as hypertrichosis. But all we can think about is how impeccably groomed he was. Look at him! He must have spent a solid hour combing that shit every morning.
#6. Welcome to Eternal Torment Burger
Wait, did we just make a joke about this being an old-timey demon-theme restaurant? Because that's actually exactly what it is. That cavern of writhing demon statues is Le Cafe de L'Enfer in Paris, one of the world's first theme restaurants. It opened its doors back in the 19th century, roughly 100 years before Rainforest Cafe had theirs blown closed by the cruel winds of indifference.
The cafe featured waitstaff dressed as devils and a doorman who screamed damnation at customers as they came in to be seated for the most uncomfortable sandwich in the history of time. Though it's not like you wouldn't know what you were getting into when you walked into the place:
"Bring the kids!"
#5. The Real-Life Shrek
Actually, this is Maurice Tillet, a professional wrestler from the mid-20th century known as the French Angel. His face looks like that due to a condition called acromegaly, a gland problem that makes the bones grow to an abnormal size. There has long been a rumor that DreamWorks used his face as the model for Shrek ...
... but we can find no source verifying the truth of that. We're not sure if it's true and the studio just never said so publicly so they wouldn't have to pay royalties to Tillet's estate, or if it's just a coincidence that the man looked like Shrek from every possible angle:
5-to-1 says his girlfriend turns into an ogre, too.
#4. "And They're Off!"
So ... are these men betting on the pigs humping somehow? Or is this what passed for a strip club in the loneliest parts of the early 20th century world? Either way, money has almost certainly changed hands here.
Actually, this is a postcard -- yes, a postcard -- from World War I era Germany. The caption at the bottom reads "The meat supply of Germany," because evidently Germany wanted the world to know that they fed their soldiers a hearty diet of wackiness.
"Boy, that was just a hoot and a holler! OK, guys, let's take these shovels and dig out some trenches for us to get shot to death in."
Actually, the world was so full of pork-based whimsy back then that we're now wondering if it wasn't some kind of meme. Just take a look at this ...
#3. Bacon Suit
This stone-faced man in a wacky meat costume is George J. Nicholls, author of the 1917 book Bacon and Hams, posing for the dust jacket photo of that very book. He clearly wanted to leave no question of his authority on the subject.
In the text of the bio, he was equally sure to note that his side-of-bacon costume won first prize at the 1894 Covent Garden Fancy Dress Ball, a sentence that really should impress on you the urgency of building a time travel device as soon as possible.
#2. Nazis in England
Compared to the bizarre freak show gallery above, this probably looks like a generic "invading Nazis marching down our street" photo from, say, World War II era France or Poland. But then you see "Lloyds Bank" in the background and realize you're looking at something you thought never happened: Nazi boots were on the ground in Great Britain.
Actually, this is a photograph of the Nazis during their occupation of the Channel Islands between 1940 and 1945, the only part of the British Isles Germany ever successfully invaded.
Due in large part to the efforts of Wilhelm, who single-handedly conquered the Royal Air Force.
The Nazis (being Nazis) didn't bother to recognize anything about the territory they had seized, issuing their own money, installing their own road signs (and making everyone drive on the right instead of the left) and even changing the time zone to be in synch with mainland Germany.
They're watching the last of the fucks they gave disappear over the horizon.
#1. Ms. Burlap Sack
OK, on this last one we're going to guess "sexiest interrogation ever" or "a dating show for serial killers."
The answer, as it turns out, is that this is a photo taken at a beauty pageant that wanted to be progressive and judge the contestants on something other than their looks. We will now point out that the purpose is instantly defeated once you put them in bathing suits.
Also, once you put them in terror masks.
The ante was upped by the "Miss Lovely Eyes" pageant in Florida sometime around 1930, wherein contestants put on Hannibal Lecter masks and presumably won if they could maintain eye contact with the judges for the longest without crying.

And that, once and for all, proves that people back in the day just had no concept whatsoever of "creepy," for the same reason fish have no concept of "wet."

All Items : Estate Jewelry : Costume : Rhinestone : Pre 1970 item #1174375 (stock #1124jjc)
Kim Loves Vintage
This impressive Juliana Peacock Rhinestone bracelet is verified to have been produced in or around 1968. Juliana Jewelry Reference by Ann M. Pitman (my bestie jewelry friend) shows all the companion pieces in her book on page 196. This style of etched hinged clamper was typical for the time period. Peacock stones are highly desirable and this bracelet is a knock out! There is some wear to the inside of the clamper as would be consistent with a bracelet that was lovingly worn. There is also one blemish on the back side of the central feature of the bracelet as shown in the photo of the back. Very, Very wearable!
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Costume : Unsigned : Pre 1950 item #1169072 (stock #s101812)

This little Jomaz Clown is adorable. Clown pins of this quality and interest are highly collectible and difficult to find. This little clown is 2.75 inches tall. His enamel is in very good condition, there is some missing around the top of the hat, but I think it is deliberately left gold as part of the clown costume. Signed Jomaz with a copyright symbol on the back. Jomaz was the signature of Joseph Mazer of Mazer Brothers from 1946 - 1981. This clown has been attributed to the late 1960's, but there is no documentation. I am guessing that is based upon the florentine brushed finish on the back.

The central feature is a 3/4 inch domed imitation pearl that rises up 3/8 of an inch. This lovely piece is in excellent scarcely worn condition.

Kenneth Jay Lane fine english bone china bracelet by Royal Worcester. Kenneth Jay Lane designed a line of exquisitely hand painted porcelain bracelets, pendants and collars in "best times" he had walking the samples through the processes by hand himself. These porcelain pieces are somewhat rare as they are difficult to find in perfect condition as they are porcelain. I suspect most people bought them as collectibles rather than for wearing. I am including some photos of the necklaces and hang tags. Necklaces and hang tags are NOT included only the bracelet which came with a similarly styled pair of earrings, they are not attributed to KJL, but I will include them for you as a gift, they are a nice companion pair. Last documented sale of one of these rare porcelain pieces is 2001 Christies sold a necklace for $470. This is a prized bracelet for any collector of KJL. Bracelet has a circular cut on the inside, this would be the stilt mark where the bracelet was held during the kiln firing, this is not a flaw. This bracelet is 3/4 inches, the companion bracelet is 1 inch wide. See my other listing for the companion bracelet. Purchase both and receive a substantial discount!!

This most unusual Hattie Carnegie necklace and earrings at first appear to be genuine turquoise and carnelian. They are not, they are some type of plastic. They have an incredible look and are a very unusual style. The necklace is unsigned, but the earrings are signed quite clearly and are a perfect match. The clasp is typical of Hattie Carnegie jewlry. This necklace is a generous 23 inches long. I believe this is probably from the mid 1950's. Lovely very wearable set from one of the most famous costume jewelry designers of the 20th century.

Pauline Rader was the daughter of a jeweler and began designing her own jewelry around 1962. Her designs were influenced by her study of and love for the jewelry of antiquity. Her designs often showed mystical Greek or Italian influences. She used heavy antique gold tone, gold wash or silver tone metal for the base and in the case of this necklace to simulate coral, she used a coral colored enamel that imitates a bezel set stone. Her designs were chunky and large. This necklace is 30 inches long and can be easily worn doubled. The necklace features varied sized coins and a square hang tag with Pauline Rader in block letters. She designed for select clientele and elite boutiques, therefore, her jewelry is difficult to find and is very collectible due to the very limited quantities produced. Pauline rader ceased production in the mid 1980's.

This Fendi Roman coin necklace also features the famous Fendi FF logo. The double F symbol, commonly referred to as the "Zucca" print in its original form and "Zucchino" in its smaller style, Fendi's iconic "double F" logo pattern was first designed by Karl Lagerfeld in the 1960s. The Fendi Company originated in 1918 in Rome. This wonderful necklace is in excellent condition. It is difficult to measure, but it is somewhere between a generous 17 and 18 inches long. The coin in the central medallion measures 1 inch, the chain is a substantial 1/2 inch wide. This medallion is reversible, on one side it has a pair of Roman faces back to back on the other side the famous double F logo. This choker is stunning on. It looks like genuine 18K gold, just fabulous!

A reader emailed me asking if I had a hot cross buns recipe. I didn't, but I thought that sounded like a great idea for the upcoming Easter holiday. My go-to guy is Peter Reinhart, but his recipe was basically a spiced panettone, which sounded delish but also like way too much work (what with it being leavened by wild yeast instead of commercial). But I do love the taste soughdough starter brings to bread, so I incorporated some into this recipe, veganized and adapted, and came up with this. I used citrus zest instead of candied peel (because I hate it), and it provided the perfect balance to the spiciness of the dough. The buns are chewy and moist, substantial but not dense.
Make 12
- 1 cup warm soy milk (about 90 degrees)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp instant or active dry yeast (not rapid rise)
- 1/4 cup sourdough starter (optional, see method)
- 2 tbsp ground flax seed
- 3 tbsp warm water
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup melted margarine, or oil
- zest of 1 orange
- zest of 1 lemon
- 3/4 cup currants
- soy milk for brushing
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 tsp light corn syrup (optional)
- 2 tsp orange juice (more as needed)
1. Mix sugar, soy milk, and yeast together in a large bowl. Let sit until yeast is hydrated (about 1 min for instant yeast, a few mins for active dry). Mix in sourdough starter. If you don't want to use the sourdough starter, just add 2 tbsp of soy milk to the above amount and proceed forth).
2. In a separate small bowl, mix flax seed and water together. Let sit for 1 min to hydrate, then whisk until thickened. Whisk in orange juice, then add to soy milk mixture.
3. Add 3 1/2 cups of flour, spices, margarine, and zests and bring into a dough, adding more liquid or flour as needed. The dough should be firm but still tacky. Knead on a lightly floured surface (or in a stand mixer) for 5-8 mins, until smooth, kneading in the currants right at the end.
4. Place in an oiled bowl, turning dough to coat, cover, and let rise until doubled (1 to 1.5 hours).
5. Line a backing sheet with parchment paper. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces (about 100g each), and shape into a ball. Place on prepared sheet and press down to flatten. Mist with oil, cover, and let rise until about doubled (30-45 mins). Preheat oven to 400.
6. Before baking, uncover and cut a shallow cross into the top of each bun with a razor blade or sharp knife. Brush with soy milk and bake for 15-17 mins, until a deep golden brown.
7. While buns are baking, bring glaze ingredients to bubbling over medium heat in a small saucepan. When buns come out of the oven, brush with glaze. Let sit for 1 min, then brush with glaze again. Let cool in the pan. The glaze is optional. It adds some sweetness, but also helps keep the buns fresh by sealing them off from the air.
8. When buns are cool, mix together icing ingredients (it should be stiff but not too stiff) and fill in the cross shapes with a piping bag. The corn syrup is optional, but does help the icing retain its shape.
NOTE: If you want to bake these buns up fresh on Easter day, the dough will keep in the fridge (I had my dough in the fridge for 24 hours). So, make the dough, place in a greased bowl, cover, and place in the fridge overnight to rise. On baking day, remove the dough from the fridge, cut into 12 pieces, and shape into buns while still cold (it's a bit harder to do cold). Mist with oil, cover, and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled (this will take about 1.5 hours). Score and bake as per the recipe above. The end result is more tender and a little more complex in flavour.

So, my company bought free bagels the other day and I had a hankering. I toasted up a raisin bagel and dipped it into hummus, just to have SOMETHING to dip into. What do you know, it was AWESOME?! Well, thank you Vegan Dad for teaching me to get creative with my eating. Hummus has that same 'sour cream' tasting tang that sets it apart from the sweet, toasty bread. Can't wait to eat these hot cross buns. Thanks for being the Veganizer.

I was looking at this and ecryptfs seems cool. I'd like to use it on my server to encrypt git pushes. I dont want to ssh in everytime to mount/unmount the encrypted folder. However once in a while when i reboot or whatever it is fine.
I like the idea that someone at my provider cant see my folder when scanning through a bunch of harddrives but is it relatively safe that the folder is always mounted? I dont think the password would be in memory plaintext? nor can someone connect to my server due to it being on the network and be able to access files? (the enc/prv folder would be 700)
Do i really have anything to worry about if i leave it mounted all the time? My server is debian 6 (squeeze) if thats interesting.

What is panel-test-applets for??
I don't know. But if I want to know I type:
$ whatis panel-test-applets
The answer is:
panel-test-applets (1) - display installed applets
I have the man page too, and I can read it:
$ man panel-test-applets
But there is no program with that name.
Maybe the command is not very useful, but is its man page more useful?
Does someone know how to install that program or what is its man page for when you cannot execute the program? I can't even execute the command:
$ panel-test-applets
$ panel-test-applets --help
which is the only thing its man page talks about!!

Unanswered: Sencha SQLite proxy and native packaging
Hi all,
I'm using the new sql proxy provided with sencha touch 2.1 and it works great as long as I use it in a browser. I tested it on the native browser of my Asus transformer tablet.
As soon as I package my application in native, I get an error when I try to access webSql database throw the proxy:
01-05 21:35:47.020: E/Web Console(9939): Uncaught Error: SECURITY_ERR: DOM Exception 18 at file:///android_asset/app.js:66393
My tablet is working on android 4.0.3.
Is there something I can do to make the SQL proxy works on a native application ?
15 Jan 2013 6:37 PM #2
16 Jan 2013 1:52 AM #3
I think that this issue may be related to the webView used by sencha native packaging. I think that it is not configure to accept webSql database or it simply cannot use webSql because android 4 webView does not allow it.
Maybe an android expert can confirm that?
I solve this issue by packaging the application with Phonegap and use https://github.com/brodyspark/PhoneG...Plugin-Android to persist my data.
This is not what I wanted to do first. I would prefer to perform a full sencha build.
16 Jan 2013 2:25 AM #4
You should be able to use websql without the sqlite phonegap plugin on native. I was fine using phonegap, without that plugin, when I was working with my own proxy. Perhaps try creating the database with a lower amount of memory? 5mb worked for me.
Having said that, I'm reverting to saving json files locally and overwriting them with updates because in my experience sqlite is a complete nightmare to develop and debug with... exactly because of errors like this.
22 Jan 2013 4:06 AM #5
hi guys , make sure space that you allocated for the sqlite is less than 5 mb otherwise it will give you error ...
window.openDatabase("Database", "1.0", "Cordova Users", 3000000);
22 Jan 2013 4:52 AM #6
The database size is not the problem, I still have the same error when I package my application.
The weird thing is it's now working with phonegap packaging without using the custom sqlite plugin.
I really don't understand what is happening.
Many thanks for your answer
27 Jan 2013 4:37 PM #7
Hei friends take a look:

Same problem for me ! Works perfect on iphone but not on android devices.
I think sencha touch is not use android webview correctly cause it's use file on webview like file://android_asset/index.html and this kind of URL can't have webSQLite database.
Correct url to be able to have webSQLite database is http://localhost/index.html
Maybe i'm wrong and sencha team can tell us the problem.

A question for shepsii
Hello, shepsii
Since Microsoft don't provide a means of using sqlite with WinJS and I had a depressing struggle with a sqlite plugin I found for WinJS, for my Win8 solution I also adopted your approach of using JSON files, which can be written to the user's local or roaming storage on Windows.
I used your sqlite proxy successfully for some time and then changed to ST's 'official' version once discussion indicated it was stable. Whilst it works OK on an iPad, I find my Android version of the app now hangs at the loading indicator, the only change made being the switch to ST's proxy.
The JSON approach worked fine in my Win8 version of the app and was quite easy to handle, so I'm thinking of maybe adopting the same approach for ST. The problem is that I don't know where to store the JSON. Can you give me a pointer, please?

Author : Z.A. Melzak
Book Title : Companion to Concrete Mathematics.
Publication : Dover renewed 2004 2 volumes in one. Copyright 1972/1976.
I found this book extremely nice.
To whet your appetite he talks about reification as well as some plain and less plain way to accelerate series convergence. In a few words it is a rare blend of concreteness and conceptualization. It smells a bit like Concrete Mathematics (by Knuth and co..) but the only information I found was an an depth review by Klamkin (not entirely positive though).
QUESTION : I would like to find connections : information about the author, and for those who appreciate this book or heard loadably about it: what others books/works are in the same vein ?

On the odd occasion, usually after incorrectly restarting my computer, my login screen resolution is not the default 1440x900, but I think 1600x900. Now, I have this monitor that's really bad at handling resolutions it's not designed to handle, and will show a silly "wrong resolution" box jumping around the screen.
Is there any way to make the login screen load a 1440x900 resolution no matter what? I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity and LightDM.

The Wellness Community in a Nutshell
Harold H. Benjamin, PhD
Last Modified: May 25, 1997
The mission of The Wellness Community is to help people with cancer fight for their recovery by providing psychological and emotional support, at no charge, as an integral part of conventional medical treatment.
The Wellness Community is not a hospice. It is not a place to learn to adapt your life to cancer or to die from cancer. At the foundation of The Wellness Community program is the unique Patient-Active concept, where you will learn that you do not have to be a helpless, hopeless and passive victim of the illness. It is a place to learn whatever it is you need to know to participate, along with your health care team, in your fight for recovery.
Most physicians believe that the immune system is the first line of defense against cancer. Science has recently discovered, in the field of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), that positive emotions and positive mental activities strengthen the power of the immune system, will improve quality of life, and may enhance the possibility of recovery. The Wellness Community is a pioneer and leader in applying the findings of PNI by providing the psychological and emotional support programs physicians and oncologists in this field recommend. In the future, the work of The Wellness Community may be applicable to many other life-threatening diseases.
At The Wellness Community, people with cancer learn that they are not alone. With the diagnosis of cancer, often come feelings of fear, depression and isolation. If negative emotions remain constant and unremitting, they may adversely affect one's ability to fight, thus making recovery more difficult. Each day, cancer patients and their families can be with others who share the same concerns and feelings, thereby reducing their isolation, while retaining and maintaining as much control as possible of their lives.
There is a myth that cancer patients have no recourse but to wait for the end. That is not true. Today, more and more people are returning to health. At The Wellness Community, the cancer patients and family members can learn how to improve their lives and be with others who are fighting. They can also interact with our alumni, long-term survivors of cancer, who inspire by their very presence.
The Wellness Community offers drop-in and on-going support groups, networking groups for specific types of cancer, educational workshops, lectures by experts in the field of oncology, relaxation/visualization, social gatherings, laughter, joy and hope. It is not an alternative; it is in support of and integrated with conventional medical treatment.
Our program is in support of and in addition to regular medical treatment.

Whenever I start one of those two browsers, I get the error message:
icedteanp plugin error: Failed to run etc/alternatives/../../bin/java.
For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window.
After some time (about 1 minute), the message disappears by itself (or when I click the "close" button). The browser(s) continue loading and again, this error appears on specific sites.
What can I do to fix this problem?

What is missing?
Deleting a file means you are making changes to the directory it resides in, not the file itself. Your group needs rw on the directory to be able to remove a file. The permissions on a file are only for making changes to the file itself.
This might come off as confusing at first until you think about how the filesystem works. A file is just an inode, and the directory refers to the inode. By removing it, you're just removing a reference to that file's inode in the directory. So you're changing the directory, not the file. You could have a hard link to that file in another directory, and you'd still be able to remove it from the first directory without actually changing the file itself, it would still exist in the other directory.
Only the system can delete a file, and only if it has no references. A mere user can only unlink a file, that is, remove it from a directory. You need write access to a directory to unlink a file from it. Unlinking a file doesn't modify the file, so write access to the file is irrelevant.
