You've decided to seriously invest in your health and hire a personal trainer. It's a great idea to have a dedicated fitness expert in your corner that can give you advice, keep you honest and produce results. Picking a trainer that can help you overcome your physical and emotional obstacles isn't always easy. Be smart about your investment and take the time to choose your trainer wisely with these tips:
Do the research. Don't settle for the first trainer you see when walking through the gym door. Chemistry, education and skill set is important. The trainer you choose should meet your needs in motivational style, training techniques and price. Referrals can be a good assessment of a trainer and always make sure they are certified by an National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCAA) accredited organization.

If you haven't heard of Pinterest yet, it's a social media site that functions as an online pin board where you can post images of favorite things like recipes, clothing, quotes and more on personal "boards". While Pinterest is great for sharing beautiful things, you can also use it for motivation and support for your goals—like the one you have to live healthy. Whether you're already pinning away, or want to join, try creating these four boards to kick your fitness goals into gear.
Healthy Recipes. Pin healthy recipes for meals, snacks and desserts from bloggers, nutritionists or fitness professionals. Resolve to make a few of the recipes each week and reduce the number of times you eat out. Use Pinterest to discover creative ways to limit the amount of calories you consume and eat healthier, more whole foods.

As 2012 comes to an end, many people are looking to 2013 and setting those common New Year's Resolutions. Before doing that, take some time and celebrate the successes of 2012. Acknowledge triumphs and get ready for the New Year with these tips.
Do a year in review to celebrate wins. Did you start strength training this year? Take up a group fitness class? Maybe you started interval training or tracking your workouts. Brainstorm and list the fitness goals you met this year. Thinking of what you got right boosts confidence, reminds you to keep those healthy habits going and sets up your momentum for next year. Be sure and appreciate all of your wins and skip beating yourself up for what didn't happen this year. Use what you didn't accomplish to plan for next year.

How to Draw Fashionable Jewelry and Watches
Draw a fashion necklace.
Draw the head, neck, and shoulders of a woman. A swan-like neck is essential to show off a necklace.
Add a line to show the chain or metal of the necklace. Draw the line so it follows the shape of the neck; curve the edges away from the neck slightly to show how the necklace wraps around the back of the neck.
Draw a simple shape for an understated look. A circle can represent a pearl or a round diamond. A diamond shape or square can represent an eye-catching bead or any cut gemstone you like. Use your imagination or browse through a jewelry catalog or website to gather ideas.
Draw extra curves and lots of shapes (trinkets) for an abundant design statement. Add dangles, multiple beads, or several wraps around the lady's neck to create a fancy showpiece.

I understand that newborn's immune system is still weak and crowds/strangers are to be avoided. Knowing this, how soon can I take my newborn outside, for example to take ~1 hours walk in a non-crowded park? Any particular things to pay attention to when doing this?
This pamphlet, put out by the South Carolina Department of Health, suggests it is safe at one month. You should avoid large crowds, but the fresh air and stimulation is good for baby. You should probably not allow people to touch your baby's hands (since baby may put them in his mouth). Your greater concern in going outside is the weather - keeping baby warm/cool enough and avoiding too much direct exposure to sun.
Personally, in a non-crowded situation, I would not hesitate to take the baby for a walk as soon as I felt up to it - usually within days of birth.
The guideline I've been given by our pediatricians was to avoid anybody with an easily transmittable disease for the first six weeks. The main reason to stay away from crowds and/or strangers is that you don't really know who in the area is ill or contagious. You don't want somebody to sneeze in your kid's face at any age, really, but a newborn is more vulnerable than a toddler.
To more directly answer your real question: We took our daughter for short walks through our favorite nearby woods from when she was only a week old. I don't think she necessarily got a whole lot from the experience at that age, but it was great for me to get some fresh air and exercise. As long as the baby is comfortable and adequately protected from temperature/sunshine, you can take her wherever you want to go.
I have never heard that strangers are to be avoided with newborns, and I certainly wouldn't recommend staying inside to avoid them. You need to get out for your own sanity, so get out and go for walks as soon as you can. Exposure to new environments and people is good for babies development, keeping them cooped up indoors and away from social contact is not the recipe for a happy child. As for any immune system concerns the only way for them to get stronger is to build up resistance, they may as well do it while having fun. If you know someone is sick keep them away by all means, that's just good sense, but going overboard is not helpful.
We took our newborn daughter out to a crowded shopping center, on a busy Saturday, at 3 days old. And being our first child, we were being overly careful with her as only a new parent is!
Shock/Horror nothing happened. She grew up fine. You should be careful with newborns, they're immune system may not quite be at full power yet, but equally they don't need to be cocooned either.
Somebody asked the same question in a new parents support group we were in after the birth of our son. The answer given was, "You already took your baby outside when you went home from the hospital. Find something else to worry about."
Being handled by random people is a different story, but merely being outside the home (assuming adequate clothing and sun protection) doesn't appear to have any good basis for avoiding it.
Here in Asia, people are pretty conservative. They don't take babies out until they are 3 months old. We followed that and my child seemed to better than others (perhaps just lucky).
I think the issue with the under-developed immune system is good and it is very hard to tell who has an asymptomatic infection disease. So, for my child, I prefer to fall on the conservative side. That said, we did have friends and family over during those first three months.
For me it really depends on the weather in your region of the world. We went for longer walks progressively, and when the weather was better (no rain, snow, ice or excessive heat).
We live in the North of France where it is freezing during winter so we didn't really get outside more than a few minutes with our newborn until he was 2 or 3 months old.
On the other hand, our daughter was born during summer when the weather is really comfortabl. After a few weeks for the mother to recover we went out progressively for 20 min to about 1 hour when she was 1 or 2 months old.
Oh, and it seems to be recommended to use one extra layer of clothes for the child since he is not walking himself.
Protecting from direct sun rays is also obvious.
My wife and I went out for a walk on the 3rd day in the hospital park. As long as the kid is wrapped in properly so that it doesn't get cold, everything is fine.
Our hospital even provided the buggy and a little jacket for us.

I'm trying to read Donoho's 2004 paper Compressed Sensing and am having trouble with a supposedly trivial statement (equation 1.2 on page 3).
He makes the sparsity assumption on $\theta \in \mathbb{R}^m$ that for some $0<p<2$ and $R>0$ we have $\|\theta\|_p\leq R$. Then if $\theta_N$ denotes $\theta$ with everything except the $N$ largest coefficients set to $0$ he claims that $\| \theta-\theta_N \|_2 \leq \zeta_{2,p} \cdot \| \theta \|_p \cdot (N+1)^{1/2-1/p}$ for $N=0,1,2,\ldots$ where $\zeta_{2,p}$ depends only on $p$.
I've tried writing out the definitions of various things. I've noticed that the $N$th largest coefficient must satisfy $\mid\theta_i\mid \leq RN^{-1/p}$ but I can't figure out how the result above follows.
I'm also having some difficulty thinking about $\ell^p$ spaces with $0<p<1$, in particular knowing what results from the $p>1$ theory apply. Does anyone know some good notes or a book that covers this?

Survey: US businesses added 162K jobs in September
WASHINGTON - A private survey shows that U.S. businesses hired fewer workers in September than August, a sign that slow growth may be holding back hiring.
Payroll processor ADP says companies added 162,000 jobs last month. That's below August's total of 189,000, which was revised lower.
The report only covers hiring in the private sector and excludes government employment. The Labor Department will offer a more complete picture of September hiring on Friday.
The ADP and government surveys frequently diverge. In August, the government said private companies added 103,000, half ADP's original estimate of 201,000.

5 Ingenious Contraptions Built Out of Nothing But Garbage
#2. A Wi-Fi Network
Afghanistan has had a few infrastructure problems since being blown off the map in 2002. Education, access to fresh water ... these are the sorts of things that worried the average Afghan. The main worry for any Westerner out there was a bit more off the beaten path, namely: How fast is the Internet?
A decent Internet connection was one of the many plans for rebuilding Afghanistan. However, it definitely wasn't #1 on the list (remember that whole fresh water thing?) After a World Bank-funded project to bring Wi-Fi to the country took millions of dollars and many, many years to set up just one link, student volunteers from MIT said, "F#@k that noise," and began building a fully functional country-wide wireless network out of garbage.
The hub of cutting edge technology.
FabFi is built out of bits of plastic, wood and even cans. More than 25 live nodes are currently working in Jalalabad with more being built around the country.
Of course, where there is Internet there will be crackdowns. Thanks to the Afghan government, that lightning-fast, garbage-based Wi-Fi won't be able to stream any sites that have to do with gambling, alcohol or porn. Still, that leaves them like a quarter of the Internet to work with.
#1. Windmill
A windmill? We're seriously going to follow up drinking a house and a steerable island with a windmill? You wouldn't be asking such hypothetical questions if you'd met William Kamkwamba, who lives in the impoverished African nation of Malawi. In 2001, thousands of people in his country died due to drought and famine. Despite having virtually no schooling, the then 14-year-old Kamkwamba taught himself how to build a irrigation windmill out of whatever junk he found lying around in an effort to save his country.
This man is so much cooler than you.
When we say he taught himself, what we meant to say was that he went to the library and read a British book called Explaining Physics despite not really knowing how to read English. So step one of operation "Save my entire village" was combining your science and foreign language homework, except replace the part where you complain to your mom about making you do it, with voluntarily doing it in order to save your mom's life.
Feel awful yet? Great! On to step two! Next he went to the junkyard every day, picking up random stuff that sort of looked like the parts he saw in the diagram and began painstakingly assembling them into a giant windmill. Of course, painstaking has a different definition in Africa. He didn't have tools of any sort, not even a drill or a proper hammer. He had to bang the rusty nails he found with rocks until they got hot enough to burn holes into the pipes he was trying to drive them through. Like a cross between Captain Lou Albano and Don Quixote, Kamkwamba ran back and forth from his nail heating rocks to his pile of garbage that he claimed was going to be a windmill. While everyone in his village laughed at him, he managed to get enough nails hot enough to drive into enough garbage to build a windmill that saved all of their lives.
"Can you hear me saying, 'Told you so,' all the way down there? Because I could totally build a walkie talkie?"
Kamkwamba's windmill worked so well, even during droughts, that he was accused of witchcraft. It also provides enough energy to charge mobile phones, run radios and power the lights - no small feat in a country where only two percent of the population has electricity.

[Edit: Old question - Oct. 08, pre-bounty - transfered from SO]
You heard it first from Jeff (podcast 19, around 28:00)
the audience of people that read Coding Horror and the audience of people that read Joel on Software are already fairly elite in the programmers.
And then again late September, in podcast 23 at 14:50:
Jeff: Stackoverflow is really for the elite developers in my opinion
Joel: agreed
So here you go. If you are here because you read one or both of those blogs, I bow before your awesomeness.
You are an elite programmer.
[Humor inside of course, both from Jeff in his podcast, and from me for this topic, do not take this seriously ;)]
You can talk the talk (and spray some quick answers with a few links, a wikipedia reference and some thoughts, for quick rep' gains)
Enter the "code-challenge".
A code-challenge is not:
- a Puzzle game, we are talking about practical problems here
- a bounty system (should it be implemented) where some user must forfeit some rep' point in the hope of an answer. The kind of questions concerned by bounties are not the same concerned by a 'code-challenge': not every 'hard' question can be solved by some source code.
A code-challenge is:
A complete source code, which can be copy-pasted and executed, and which answers precisely a practical question (and not a theoretical mind-game problem).
The goal can also be to answer it in as many languages as possible, both for the fun of it, and because all users may have the same problem on different development platforms.
Even if a question is not originally a code-challenge, the fact that a well-written script can help to obtain the exact expected output makes it eligible for a 'code-challenge' tag, and a worthy exercise for all of you 'elite coders' out there ;)
How to set up a code challenge ?"
- the user asking a question can tag his with a 'code-challenge'. He must then edit his question in order to have the clearest specification possible
- any user with enough rep (750) can re-tag a question 'code-challenge', add a community answer with some specifications clarifications, and then add one or several answers, provided those contain executable code that gives precisely the expected output
Why set up a code challenge ?
In the grand scheme of solving the "Solving the Fastest Gun in the West Problem", this may help.
I often notice simple questions like "How do I know if Windows has just recovered from a BSOD?" or "How do I find the install time and date of Windows?".
The answers are very shorts and just enough to offer a lead... and take some quick rep'!
But the user can not just "copy-paste" the proposed solution and check if it does solve his problem...
They are also some more challenging questions like "Program to analyze a lot of XMLs", which has actually a very good answer in xlst, but again frustrating as it is not a directly executable answer which would precisely solve the user's problem.
Hopefully, when you set a code challenge, you will get an answer beginning with "I just love a challenge" ;)
How does that help solving the "Fastest Gun in the West" Problem ?
The key to counter Fastest Gun in the West phenomena is through long term question status management:
The question can not expect any kind of attention in the long run *if its status somehow does not change (with the right incentive in term of rep' points and badges, of course)*
- a bounty system is a first example where the status change: the asker indicates that from now on (status change), he will forfeit x rep' points in term of a validation he would validate.
- Joel mentioned another possible status change, in the podcast 24: a "still here" status, to indicate that the asker (him again) is still around to potentially validate and accept an answer!
But here lies the true problem of StackOverflow, the one preventing its "Wikipedia dimension" to really flourish: once the asker does not monitoring anymore a question with:
- no answer
- no satisfactory answer
- an accepted answer but which is false or now obsolete
there is really no incentive left to change/complete/modify the answers to that question...
"code-challenge" is an example of "status change" where users can take charge of the question (even if the asker is long gone) and challenge other users, and have some points/badges in exchange. Plus, it is a win-win process for all users involved, as opposed to a bounty where the asker must still be around and accept to loose points.
This is certainly not the unique solution, since the number of questions concerned by such a process is quite small, but still, the status of a question over a long period of time need to be addressed if the information stored in StackOverflow has the ambition to remain some kind of reference.
... Why not, but what's in it for me, elite programer ?
For now... nothing more than the usual rep' points system. And the satisfaction to completely answer a user's problem.
Some points:
- 5 rep' points for the one setting up a code-challenge (provided any answer has at least 3 upvotes, and has been published AFTER the 'code-challenge' tag)
- 10 rep' points for someone posting an answer in a 'code-challenge' thread and having at least 3 upvotes
Some badges for the challenger:
- a bronze badge 'Challenger' for anyone setting up a 'code-challenge' (and having at least one answer with three up-vote: you can not jsut tag some question and expect a badge)
- a silver badge 'Defier' for anyone setting up 25 'code-challenge'
Some badges for the challengees:
- a bronze badge 'Courageous' for anyone answering at least a code-challenge and getting three upvotes for his answer
- a silver badge 'Tenacious' for anyone answering at least 10 code-challenge and getting three upvotes for his answer
- a gold badge 'Elite' for anyone answering at least 50 code-challenge and getting three upvotes for his answer
All those new badges are not here just to add to your collection of shiny dots.
As Jeff said in podcast 18 around 25:30:
Jeff: You really have a hundred million active users? I don't think so. Well, if you go to the badge-page... you can see how many people have done certain thinks. That is actual activity, that is measurable activity in the system, right?
[...] The badges, in addition to being fun, actually tell you stuff about the system and also the user, right. Like how well do they know the system. If they have 10 bronze badges then they know it pretty well. So all this stuff is there for a reason. None of this stuff is there because I thought it would be, like fun to have a game.
So those badges are here for monitoring the activity centered around the coding questions, as opposed to the more general questions about programming.
Why monitor "coding" questions in the first place ?
Hopefully, that may help to re-visit some old questions and take them as 'exercise' in order to bring a complete solution for those questions where an algorithm is useful.
Coding is a sub-category of programming questions that SO is aiming at.
Some comments have raised the danger of "home-working questions" (students asking for an algo to solve their problems). Even though I am not convinced of that trend (they can ask right now anyway), the following criteria may help to keep any of that down:
- only one week old question with no accepted answer would be eligible to a code-challenge
- the reputation of the user asking the problem should be at a certain level (100? 200?) before tagging his/her question 'code-challenge', meaning: a minimum contribution to the site should have been made before.
Plus, as a non-automatic criteria, there should be a clear context of the question showing it is about getting a nudge, not about having the all assignment done for you.
Real homework questions like this one are detected and marked as homework anyway.
The goal is first and foremost to improve the quality of old coding questions with no precise answers.
That tag is just here to retrieve them more easily and to know that, amongst the ~2000 unanswered questions, they are 'special' in the sense they could be solved by a program.
I have set up a few code-challenges for you to play with (Just follow the 'code-challenge' tags).

- PIO Number: 12-11-20
- Date: 11/19/12
- Time: 4:26 a.m.
- Place of Occurrence: Northbound exit ramp of the Turnpike at Sample Road
- Jurisdiction: Pompano Beach
- Name Withheld, 27, male, Pompano Beach (DECEASED)
- Lionel Diego-Molina, 24, male, Hialeah
Description of Incident:
Broward Sheriff's Office Traffic Homicide investigators are looking into the cause of a fatal crash that took place around 4:30 Monday morning (Nov. 19).
The incident occurred on West Sample road, off of the northbound exit of the Florida Turnpike. Lionel Diego-Molina, 24, was behind the wheel of a box truck and was waiting at the light of the exit ramp, preparing to make a left turn onto Sample Road. Once the light turned green, he began to move across the intersection and was impacted from behind by a Dodge Neon.
Investigators say the Neon was travelling westbound on Sample Road, but the driver ran the red light crashing into the back of the truck.
The impact sent the box truck in a northwest direction through the intersection and off the roadway, landing on its side in a grassy area.
Pompano Beach Fire Rescue transported the driver of the Neon to Broward Health North, where he succumbed to his injuries. His name is not being released pending notification of his next of kin. Diego-Molina was not injured.
It is believed alcohol could have played a role in this incident. The investigation continues.

How get data before the data gets loaded into the store?
I am using Sencha Touch 2.0.x and Sencha Architect 2.1.x.
I would like to know how to get the raw data before the data gets loaded into the store.
This is for debug purposes, I would like to know if the result data from the store url request is json valid.
For example:
The webservice response (invalid json):
Thus, I can see what data is being passed through before it gets loaded into the store.
I know I can use the web browser for debug, but I would like to monitor request calls without a web browser.
Thanks in Advance!
10 Dec 2012 1:18 PM #2
Hrm... I don't quite see an event that will do what you want. You essentially want to get the request before it goes to the reader.
In the data architecture, the proxy is responsible for the where and how and the reader is responsible for reading the format.
Take a look at overriding the getResponseData method of the Json reader.Aaron Conran

I am going to be recording audio-for-video on the field and I am trying to figure out what type of mic to use. We are also on an extremely tight budget, so I am looking for something under $200. I think we also need a mic fish pole, so I need one that will mount on a fish pole. Any suggestions?
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 24 '14 at 20:09
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
Option 1: Rode Videomic (with booming kit) $169. Basic, very cheap, will do the job for an amateur project. Connects to DSLR with the 1/8" cable.
Option 2: Azden SGM-1X $150. Basic mic once again. Apparently performs better than the video mic. XLR output. Boom not included.
Option 3: Audio-Technica AT897 $260. Shotgun polar patter (very directional). XLR output with 1/8" connector. Boom not included.
You can read up on all the specs if you follow those links. You can find many tests of these products online, just search for it in google.
How you use the microphone is more important than the type of microphone. A professional with the cheapest mic will record better audio then an amateur with the best mic. It'd definitely be worth your while to research booming techniques.
I would agree with the AT897. I used one of those for a couple years before I upgraded to a Senny ME66. I'd recommend checking on eBay. Mics are a great thing to buy used. You can get much more mic for your money buying used.

White blood cells (WBC) are one part of our body's immune system, working to protect us against infection. A neutrophil is one type of WBC and they make up the majority of WBCs. They are the "first responders" and quickly appear at the site of infection, ingesting and destroying foreign particles. They can be found in the pus of a wound and play a role in acute inflammation (redness, warmth, swelling, and pain). A normal neutrophil count (also called absolute neutrophil count or ANC) is between 2500 and 6000. A low neutrophil count (less than 1000) is known as neutropenia. The lower the neutrophil count, the higher the risk of infection. Neutropenia is most often caused by cancer therapies, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Ask your healthcare team when your counts are likely to be at their lowest (also called nadir), as you will most likely be at home during the nadir. For chemotherapy, low counts usually occur 7-12 days after treatment.
Given that neutropenia is caused by cancer treatments, there is not much you can do to prevent it from occurring, but you can decrease the risk of getting an infection while your count is low.
You may receive a growth factor to stimulate neutrophil production. This is a man-made version of a natural hormone that causes the body to produce more neutrophils. It is given by an injection just under the skin. There are a few growth factors available in the United States: filgrastim (Neupogen®), pegfilgrastim (Neulasta®) and sargramostim (Leukine®).
Even the best hand washers can end up with an infection. An infection in a neutropenic patient is an emergency! If you notice any signs or symptoms of infection, you should call your doctor right away - even if it is the middle of the night. You will likely need to have blood work drawn and other testing to look for any source of infection. It is important to receive antibiotics in a timely fashion since your body is immunocompromised and unable to fight some infections on its own. Make sure you know how to reach someone when the office is closed!
While your immune system is not functioning properly, you could have a more difficult time fighting a food-borne illness. There are some steps you can take to make food safety a priority.
Every cancer center follows different rules regarding diet restrictions. Be sure to ask your healthcare team for any special instructions. Patients undergoing bone marrow or stem cell transplant typically have stricter dietary restrictions. Remember, this diet is only temporary while your blood counts are low.

[4.2 RC] suggested locationfor sass for extended (custom) components
With the new theme based structure I'm wondering where to put sass styles for custom views.
For example I have a class:
/packages/[My Custom Theme]/sass/view/AppHeader.scss /packages/[My Custom Theme]/[MyAppName]/sass/view/AppHeader.scss
I also tried adding in this custom view sass into /etc, as I figured /src is just for overrides of core Ext Js components. However this doesn't work as /etc is compiled before the /vars are available and I want to use the vars in my custom sass.
So how does Sencha Cmd decide what sass to compile? From my reading so far it seems like it would use the 'requires' calls to log all components used.
Do we need to add a parameter somewhere to force it to look for custom components under our [MyAppName] in the custom theme?

Cmd doesn't decide what to compile, this is the job of compass. In your app.scss did you choose to import the files? You have to tell it what to compile, it won't search the directories automatically for you.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Themes only seem to look at files related to the base ExtJS components. Your custom component won't get compiled into the resultant .css file because it is not part of the ExtJS framework.
This is where the "sass" directory in your application comes into play. It works like the "sass" directory in a theme package, but SenchaCmd looks at the classpaths defined in your project to determine if it should include the .scss files.
The file structure is the same, sass/etc for mixins, sass/src for css source and templates, sass/var contains variable definitions. The paths should match the custom components of your app that are not part of ExtJS.
When you do a "sencha app build" it will look over all the various paths and generate a .scss file that gets compiled into the resultant .css file.
To recap:
To theme ExtJS components you need a theme.
Changes go into "{app_dir}/packages/{theme_name}/sass
To change app specific theming, you use the app local sass directory
Changes for this go into "{app_dir}/sass
"sencha app build" generates a "{app_dir}/build/{app}/{environment}/{app}-all.scss" that contains the load order for the .scss files. If you add or remove a ExtJS or custom component you need to run "sencha app build" or "sencha ant sass" to re-generate the .scss file
26 Feb 2013 3:20 PM #4
Thanks Navaar, you saved me the job of explaining what I learned yesterday ;-)
Probably sencha intends this design decision to be left up to us users.
What I have ended up doing is simply @importing my custom views/app specific theming into the Component.scss in my custom theme sass/src directory.
I may reconsider this at a later stage but for now it will do.
Navaar do you know that if you use the approach you suggest will you have access to all the vars in your themes?
.i.e a scss file in {app}/sass can use a var from ext-theme-neptune, if thet is the theme that app is set up to use?
26 Feb 2013 3:25 PM #5
So it looks like anything in {app_dir}/sass/var gets included before any theme variables. So you can set new defaults there.
The files in {app_dir}/sass/src get included after all the theme vars have been processed, so your source files should have access to all the variables.
You can check the generated {app}-all.scss file to see the load order.
26 Feb 2013 5:20 PM #6
Aha, that makes it clearer which approach we should take, as our app is designed to be themed per installation, so our custom theme is effectively our base theme and this will be extended with a client theme as needed.
If we had our custom sass in the {app.dir}/sass then the client theme wouldn't be able to overwrite it.
27 Feb 2013 4:00 PM #7
Apologies for not having the documentation updates posted but here is a summary of this process.
The files in ./sass/src and ./sass/var are selected by correspondence to JavaScript classes. The connection from JS class to files in these folders is roughly this:
- the prefix specified by app.sass.namespace (for apps) or package.sass.namespace (for packages) is removed
- the remainder is split on dot and joined by path separator
- the ".scss" suffix is added
So "MyApp.view.Foo" turns in to "view/Foo.scss" by default since app.sass.namespace defaults to MyApp.
If that file exists in ./sass/var it is included early to set variables. Variable files are included "backwards" so that app variable files are included before the theme and other packages. This allows app variables to take priority over the !default values in the those var files.
If that file exists in ./sass/src it is included later to define rules and such. Normal SASS source is included "forwards" such that app sass src files come after the theme and other packages so that app rules can cascade later and override styles properly.
Inside these groupings, the individual order of scss files from a common package or app are included in JS class order. In other words, the vars for a base class are included before those of a derived class inside the same group. The same is true of files ./sass/src.Don Griffin

For example I have a class:
And I have an scss file in my theme src at
When I run sencha ant sass theme the {appName)-all.css updates but there is no css from /{themeName}/sass/src/view/Appheader.scss
Edit: I also just checked my sencha.cfg for the app, the var is set correctly:
(My app name is IesExpert)
28 Feb 2013 9:33 PM #9
Sounds like maybe the theme package does not have the proper sass namespace. By default a generated app has its namespace as its "app.sass.namespace" assuming you will not want to apply styles to things outside your namespace.
A theme package I believe defaults its "package.sass.namespace" to blank so that it can style anything. If that is true, there are two ways to go:
#1 - you can set package.sass.namespace to your app's namespace if that is all it needs to style and preserve your folder structure in ./sass/src (and ./sass/var)
#2 - you can move the content of your theme down inside a folder named by your app's namespace.
Let me know if that works for you... or doesn'tDon Griffin

Thanks Don.
But of course it doesn't compile anything Ext.* (in src and var) which also means we don't have access to all the ancestor theme sass vars
Just to make it clear for others, here's our custom theme package directory structure now:
- CustomTheme
- ...
- sass
- ...
- src
- Ext
- All Ext customisations in structure that matches Ext.*
- AppName
- All custom app views in structure that matches AppName.*
- Ext
- var
- Ext
- Vars also need to be 'namespace' otherwise they don't compile
- Ext
- ...
- ...
- CustomTheme

In the latest security breach, hackers infiltrated Internet search company Yahoo, accessing sensitive information from within the database.
A hacker group, known as D33Ds Company reportedly stole nearly half a million of its users' email addresses and passwords and published them online.
The hacked content posted for public access includes plaintext credentials for 453,492 Yahoo accounts, more than 2,700 database table or column names, and 298 MySQL variables.
Security firm Trusted Sec, the first to report the breach stated, "The most alarming part to the entire story was the fact that the passwords were stored completely unencrypted and the full 400,000+ usernames and passwords are now public."
The servers appear to have been compromised by the D33Ds Company with the intention of warning Yahoo for lax security.
SQL injection attack
The hackers appear to have executed the breach through SQL injection. The technique, one of the most primitive and common methods of attack, can successfully exploit vulnerable websites that "don't properly scrutinize text entered into search boxes and other user input fields."
The process can be used to trick the servers to submit huge amounts of sensitive information at the data base layer. The servers appear to have been compromised with the intention of warning Yahoo for lax security.
A brief note by the D33Ds Company accompanying the leaked file stated, "We hope that the parties responsible for managing the security of this subdomain will take this as a wake-up call, and not as a threat. There have been many security holes exploited in webservers belonging to Yahoo! Inc. that have caused far greater damage than our disclosure. Please do not take them lightly. The subdomain and vulnerable parameters have not been posted to avoid further damage."
Yahoo Voices compromised?
It is still ambiguous which service was infiltrated. The TrustedSec blog is reporting that details were retrieved from Yahoo Voice, the company's service that pays freelance writers for content.
There are still others who believe the target was Yahoo Voices (with s) which is the company's user-generated content service.
Given that many users use the same password for multiple services within one provider, its best to change the password.

Rep. Raul Labrador, a member of a bipartisan group of House members discussing immigration reform proposals, told reporters on Tuesday that he doesn't believe many of the nation's 11.5 million undocumented immigrants want to become American citizens.
"They're not clamoring for it. It's only the activists here in Washington D.C. who keep clamoring for it," Labrador said off the House floor.
"Anybody who is clamoring for citizenship - they're looking for voters and they're looking for union members. They're not looking for a political solution, they're not looking for a policy that actually strengthens the United States," Labrador said in taking a swipe at some of his GOP colleagues and others pressing proposals that create a path to citizenship.
The Idaho Republican said undocumented immigrants want legal status.
"They want to be treated with respect they want to be able to come out of the shadows and they want a program where they feel that when they are crossing the border they're not going to be detained at the border," he said.
Labrador based his assessment on his experience as an attorney in private practice before he ran for Congress.
"I've practiced immigration law for 15 years and I've dealt with thousands and thousands of people and not one of them said 'I need a pathway to citizenship,'" Labrador said.
But the conservative lawmaker said he does support citizenship for children of those who entered the United States illegally, similar to the DREAM Act that failed to pass Congress.
"I want to treat those kids fairly who came here through no fault of their own," he said, noting that many are in college or in the military and are doing the right things.
Asked about how the bipartisan group is grappling with the citizenship issue, Labrador declined to comment.
"I cannot talk about whether I am even part of the bipartisan group," he said.
But other sources familiar with the group confirm that Labrador has been involved in regular immigration talks with other House members.
They include: Florida Republican Mario Diaz-Balart, Texas Republicans Sam Johnson and John Carter; and Democratic Reps Rep Luis Gutierrez, Xavier Becerra, Zoe Lofgren, and John Yarmuth.
Like Labrador, other members of the group declined to talk about its internal discussions or even its existence, worried that any leaked details could jeopardize any deal.
When approached by reporters, Diaz-Balart has an answer ready for those probing for any details from the talks. "I can neither confirm nor deny that there is any group."
But Diaz-Balart does say that the political environment for a comprehensive deal is better than any other time he's debated the issue.
Democrats in the group have all insisted for years that any immigration legislation must include a mechanism for those undocumented immigrants now in the United States to gain citizenship.
Diaz-Balart has co-sponsored a number of legislative proposals. It's unclear whether Labrador's position would make it impossible for him to sign on to any agreement announced by the group.
Sources familiar with the discussions tell CNN that the bipartisan group is aiming to roll out legislation, perhaps as early as after the State of the Union address next week.
Members of the House group have met weekly and some have been involved in immigration talks for year. Individual members have met with Florida Senator Marco Rubio and other members of the bipartisan Senate group that released its own immigration framework last week that did include a path to citizenship.
While some of those in the bipartisan House group believe one comprehensive bill is the only way to get both parties to pass something this year, Labrador said he believes that there will be a series of separate bills that together represent a comprehensive package.
And he argued it's more likely that the Republican-controlled House will pass legislation that limits those in the country illegally to getting legal status, not full citizenship.
"I don't know if it's an easier sell - it's just something that comports with most of the promises that Republicans made in their campaigns," Labrador said.

5 Terrifying Trends Currently Overtaking Etsy
If you've never been on Etsy, it's probably because you figure it's just a bunch of shitty crafts being sold by amateurs. But as we've shown you before, Etsy is home to some very ... interesting people.
Interesting, terrifying people, selling goods intended to set up camp in your nightmares. And to make it worse, this stuff is way more common -- and popular -- than you'd think possible. Things such as ...
#5. Items Lovingly Crafted Out of Cat Hair
Even the staunchest of dog persons would find it difficult not to admit that cats make great pets, with just a few downsides -- namely, litter boxes, that whole stealing the souls of babies thing, and, worst of all, the shedding. Holy shit, all the shedding. Well, it seems that some of the crafty people on Etsy have realized how wasteful it is to sweep all that discarded cat hair into the garbage. Why toss it out when, with a creative spark and the know-how to felt, it's possible to transform the contents of your vacuum bag into delightful creations like this purse?
Marilyn Welsh
If you collected enough you could felt an entire cat, but that would just be weird(er).
It's an equally appropriate gift for your mom (if your mom is also a crazy cat lady) or for someone with allergies whom you hate. But the women's cat-hair accessories aren't limited to those of the functional variety -- there's also jewelry!
We doubt Lucretia consented to this.
This stylish hairball pendant comes with a certificate of authenticity, as well as a picture of the cat that supplied said hairball, so you'll have a handy visual aid in case you ever find yourself on a red carpet and a reporter asks who you're wearing. Not quite furry enough for you? Don't worry, because there are also intricate little numbers like this one:
Flora Davis
Hairballs: not just choking hazards for cats anymore.
If you're not comfortable wearing the hair of some strange Internet person's cat, this fine craftswoman would also be happy to make you jewelry using your own cat's hair. No word on whether she shows up unexpectedly at your back door to collect it, but we're going to assume so.
If jewelry isn't your thing, there are plenty of other cat-hair creations available, one of which is sure to tickle your fancy. Toys? Yep, they've got those:
Monika Schaefer
"Hey, this smells like me, but with a pinch of human loneliness and despair."
But perhaps strangest of all are the fake cats made with real cat hair.
Heather Campbell
"And this is what happened to the last cat that wouldn't stay off the kitchen counter. Got it, furball?"
If you're the do-it-yourself type, you can also find books on how to spawn some cat-hair horrors of your very own -- but they're mostly in Japanese, because of course they are.
#4. Crocheted Creations That'll Make You Never Be Able to Look Grandma in the Eye Again
Crochet brings to mind grandmas making baby booties, blankets, and horrific holiday sweaters. But for the new generation of crocheters on Etsy, ugly sweaters aren't nearly horrific enough -- not when you can whip up something like this nice crocheted fetus.
This cute little guy is also available as part of a complete "Fetus, Uterus and Vagina Crochet Plush, with Fallopian Tubes and Ovaries, and Vaginal Canal" combo that appears to have been ripped straight out of some dismayingly anatomically accurate rag doll.
And while we're on the subject of ripped-open abdomens ...
The perfect gift for the movie buff, music fan, or personally collapsing junkie in your life.
Here we have a lovely yarn-based recreation of the tragic culmination of Sid and Nancy's heroin-fueled lovefest. Buyer beware: The seller makes it clear that "this set is made for the adult collector and was not designed for play or rough handling," so you'll have to think of a different gift for your niece's christening.
Now, we know exactly what you're thinking: "Why aren't dead-Nancy's breasts exposed?!" Not to worry, because Knitty Titties (no shit, that's the actual name of an Etsy shop) has your penchant for crocheted perversion covered in spades.
Galen Djuna
The bottom part isn't yarn.
Bonus: This topless horned demon is also a finger puppet. Because, obviously, someone who would drop 70 bucks on a "Knitty Titty" would also want to plunge his "finger" into it. You may scoff, but that's called knowing your market, folks. It almost makes the next one seem tasteful by comparison:
Cayora Rue
Great -- terror and ennui.
That's Chalice the eviscerated amputee, whose gaping chest wound is "done in a lovely dark reddish purple and mostly stitched closed," while his "leg stumps feature embroidered scars." You know, just in case the name of the item wasn't enough to send you running away screaming.
And again, the denizens of Etsy's underworld have a soft spot for do-it-yourselfers, so you can always order up patterns for these pinnacles of stuffed adorableness:
Maffers Walker
You don't have to sew the teardrop; it forms naturally when you're done.
Crucified bunnies and suicidal bears, oh my! If you're thinking of polishing up your skills in the disturbing crochet arts but aren't sure how your handiwork will be received, just remember: If you make the gift yourself, your friends have to like it. It's a rule.
#3. Extra Creepy Taxidermy
Taxidermy is already pretty fucking creepy. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who'd disagree with that statement. And while many might think of it as somewhat of a lost art only to be revisited in sepia-tone Victorian-era photographs and the occasional hunting enthusiast's living room, Etsy-philes are doing their best not only to keep the art alive, but to crank its creepy dial up to 11.
Take the mouse guitarist above, which can be yours for the low, low price of $150. What upon first glance appears to be a whimsical little real-life depiction of a singing rodent straight out of a Disney film takes a dark turn when you notice the tortured scream that's forever locked onto its face -- forever, that is, until we order it just so we can burn it and send the demon trapped inside it back to the netherworld.
But perhaps dead rodent dust catchers aren't your thing. Maybe you'd prefer to wear them as a fashion statement instead? Etsy's got something especially for you:
Lauren Kane
We feel the red eyes might just be there to save its eventual demonic possessor a step.
Yes, that's a real hamster head. On a necklace. To wear. In public. And from there, it only gets more disturbing.
Dan Stocks
Who would sell a chainsaw to a two-headed monster?
We know what you're thinking. You desperately need this two-headed murder-duckling in your life, but you're a little strapped for cash at the moment. Fret not -- the seller offers layaway! Or, if you can compromise and go for a less homicidal two-headed duckling, this one's only 50 bucks:
Wenlong Quo
Fifty bucks and you couldn't toss in a helmet?
So we've covered music, cartoons, jewelry, murder, and sports ... that should pretty much blanket the interests of anybody on your gift list. What's that? What about your sexual deviant cousin whose birthday is coming up? Oh, right, we haven't gotten to the sex stuff yet:
Furever Taxidermy
The tails form a heart to try to convince you this isn't a sexual assault.
According to the seller, the materials used to manufacture this whimsical item are "mice, couch, lots of romance." And yeah, that's actually kind of adorable, in a "look what my creepy stalker gave me for Valentine's Day" sort of way. But you know that only means we're about to show you something far more twisted, right?
Jen Hanley
Never has arts and crafts made us feel so judged.
And there it is. Gimp-squirrel here ("complete with gagball!") can be yours if you possess a spare $200 and even a fraction of the enthusiasm of the seller, who exclaims that "OH MY GOD YESSSS MY HUSBAND HAS FINALLY MADE THE S&M BONDAGE SQUIRREL !!!!"
And speaking of making wholesome things dirty ...

To prove the following fact: given any sequence of digits in any base, eg 314159265358979323 base 10, there are infinitely many primes that start with these digits,eg when expressed in decimal they start with 314159265358979323. I think using a prime number theorem will be helpful . But I am still not getting a point of how to start the proof.
migrated from stackoverflow.com Aug 30 '11 at 22:24
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
We use the Prime Number Theorem, nothing else, and do all the details for a particular case. The method used can be easily transferred to the general case.
Let $\pi(x)$ be the number of primes that are less than or equal to $x$. For any real number $x>1$, let $F(x)=\dfrac{x}{\ln x}$. The Prime Number Theorem says that $$\lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{\pi(x)}{F(x)}=1.$$ By the definition of limit, given any positive $\epsilon$, we have $$1-\epsilon <\frac{\pi(x)}{F(x)} <1+\epsilon\qquad\text{(Inequality $1$)}$$ if $x$ is large enough. (The meaning of "large enough" depends on the value of $\epsilon$.)
We will show that there are infinitely many primes whose hexadecimal representation starts with $324$. Why $324$? The hexadecimal representation of $\pi$ starts with $3.24$. The OP used a much longer string of digits, also connected to $\pi$. But something of that length, in either hex or decimal, would be a nuisance to type. It seems appropriate to use initial "digits" of $\pi$, since we will be working with $\pi(x)$. Why hexadecimal? To show that the base does not matter. Also, the question originally came from a programming site! Why not use a general beginning and a general base? Because doing so might conceal the basic simplicity of the argument.
Important Note: In what follows, the numbers $324$ and $325$ appear often. They are always to be read as numbers to the base $16$. (So, for example, $324$ refers to the number which in base ten would be written as $804$.) The base $16$ occurs fairly often. Of course, it must be read in base ten! The few other numbers that appear, unless it is otherwise specified, are to be read as base $16$ numbers. Occasionally, for emphasis, the base is explicitly mentioned.
We want to show that there are arbitrarily large integers $n$ for which there is a prime $p$ with $$324_{16}\times 16^n <p < 325_{16}\times 16^n.$$ (The above inequality is equivalent to saying that the first three hexadecimal "digits" of $p$ are $3$, $2$, and $4$.)
By Inequality $1$, the number of
primes less than $325\times 16^n$ is $>(1-\epsilon)F(325\times 16^n)$. Again by Inequality $1$, the number of primes less than $324\times 16^n$ is $<(1+\epsilon)F(324\times 16^n)$. So the number of primes in the interval
($324_{16}\times 16^n, 325_{16}\times 16^n)$ is greater than $(1-\epsilon)F(325\times 16^n) -(1+\epsilon)F(324\times 16^n)$.
Thus if
So we want to choose $n$ large enough so that Inequality $1$ is satisfied, and such that $$(1-\epsilon)\frac{325\times 16^n}{\ln(325\times 16^n)}>(1+\epsilon)\frac{324\times 16^n}{\ln(324\times 16^n)}.$$ The "laws of logarithms," together with some rearranging, show that the above inequality is equivalent to $$n(\ln 16)(1-649\epsilon)>(1+\epsilon)(324)(\ln 325)-(1-\epsilon)(325)(\ln 324)\qquad\text{(Inequality $2$)}$$ Note that $649$ is to be read in base $16$. Now we are ready for the final push.
First, let $\epsilon$ be the reciprocal of $1000_{16}$ (this reciprocal is safely less than the reciprocal of $649_{16}$).
Then on the left of Inequality $2$ we have $n$ times a positive constant, and on the right we have a constant. Next, let $n$ be large enough to ensure that Inequality $1$ is satisfied for our chosen value of $\epsilon$ and $x >324\times 16^n$.
Finally, let $n$ be also large enough to ensure that Inequality $2$ is satisfied for our chosen value of $\epsilon$. Then there is always a prime between $324_{16}\times 16^n$ and $325_{16}\times 16^n$, that is, a prime whose initial hexadecimal "digits" are $3$, $2$, and $4$.
Only minor editing changes are needed to make the argument work for any initial "digit" sequence, and any base.
A simple consequence of the PNT is the fact that for any real number $k>1$ there exists an $n_0$ such that there is a prime between $n$ and $kn$ for all $n > n_0$. Now suppose your desired starting base-$b$ sequence is $d$ digits long; set $k = 1 + b^{-d}$ and apply the preceding fact.
Use the prime number theorem to prove that there is an N such that for every M>N there is at least one prime that is written as 314159265358979323 followed by M other digits.
(Heuristically: There are $10^M$ possible numbers of this form, and the probability of each of them being prime is asymptotically proportional to 1/M -- thus the expected number of primes in each such interval grows towards infinity. Devising a rigorous argument from this sketch and one of the exact-bound versions of the prime number theorem is left as an exercise :-)
This is a special case of the following fact, a simple and short proof of which appears on p. 4 of Disjunctive sequences: An overview, by Calude, Priese and Staiger (1997):
The desired result follows by taking $a_n$ to be the $n$th prime $p_n$, noting that the prime number theorem implies $p_n \sim n \ln n$, and hence that $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} (p_{n+1}/p_{n}) = 1$.

Henderson commissioner urges resistance to federal gun control
Grady Hawkins supports county resolution asking N.C. lawmakers to nullify infringements on Second Amendment rights
Published: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 11:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 11:05 a.m.
Henderson County Commissioner Grady Hawkins said Wednesday he would like to see the county endorse a resolution asking the N.C. General Assembly to nullify any federal action within the state that infringes on Second Amendment rights.
Hawkins was speaking at the Republican Men's Club monthly meeting at the Opportunity House, where all five Henderson commissioners shared their immediate and long-term goals for the year.
Hawkins began his speech with the Second Amendment matter, saying he has spoken with County Manager Steve Wyatt about placing it on the agenda for discussion at an upcoming commissioners meeting.
Hawkins' proposed resolution would be modeled on one that Beaufort County commissioners unanimously adopted last week.
Hawkins said he was troubled by President Barack Obama's recent announcement of nearly two dozen executive orders he plans to enact to confront gun violence.
"The American public got duped again and elected (President) Obama," Hawkins said. "He continues to violate the Constitution, enforce laws that he wants to enforce and step on our rights."
The Beaufort County resolution directs the county manager to ensure that no county employees or resources are used in federal actions that infringe on Second Amendment rights.
A decorated military veteran, Hawkins said, "I spent 25 years protecting our rights under the Constitution; that was my sworn duty, to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic, and that means just what it says."
Though not aware of the specifics of the Beaufort resolution, Sheriff Charlie McDonald, who attended the Republican Men's Club meeting, said he is "definitely interested" in supporting such an initiative.
"We've got good, level-headed commissioners, and I do know they're putting the needs and the security of the county first," he said.
McDonald added that he also thinks the North Carolina Sheriffs Association would take the same position sheriffs in Utah have voiced about "certain things they would not do if asked by the federal government," though not before separating fact from speculation regarding specific impacts of Obama's executive orders.
"But certainly we see a cause for alarm, to put it mildly," McDonald said.
The sheriff, along with District Court Judge Emily Cowan, Flat Rock Mayor Bob Staton and other attendees, also heard about other priorities for commissioners. They include working with private industry on job creation, emergency services funding, public parks development in the Dana and Tuxedo communities and a call from Hawkins to lower the property-tax rate from 51.36 cents per $100 valuation to 50 cents.
Commissioner Larry Young said he could support the tax-reduction measure, provided the county continues to control its spending in the next fiscal year and beyond.
Commission Chairman Charlie Messer told the crowd the county "is in real good shape" financially and that a proposed $110 million budget from Wyatt for 2013-14 "looks like something we can work with."
Messer and other commissioners added that water and sewer issues also will take a front seat among their priorities this year, and that the board awaits a feasibility study report from engineering firm Davis & Floyd on a possible wastewater treatment plant in the Cane Creek Sewer District.
County Republican Party Chairman Mike Scruggs, meanwhile, announced that freshman U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows will be the keynote speaker for the party's annual convention on March 9. Other speakers scheduled, he said, include McDonald and state Sen. Tom Apodaca.

Find the total flux of the vector field $$ F = (3x, xy,1) $$

Somehow, I think I know what this looks like very clearly. It's just that I'm not sure how to set up the integral for this.
So I would do something like: $$ \int_A f(x) \cdot \vec{n} dA $$ over each surface of my box and add them together.
Now, I'm not sure how to get

No special outfit but special memories
April 21, 2013
When I was little, grade school age, I could always count on having a new outfit appear virtually out of nowhere to wear on my birthday....
Ms Kiaski: A very touching and nicely penned piece! The columnist, Charles Osgood once said that: "Childhood memories become much sweeter when viewed throught the cotton candy filter of time." Memories also push us to remember to make the most of our time with our families and friends...HAPPY B'DAY!!!

Confirmed: Battlefield Hardline is real, first trailer leaks with official detailsWritten by: / / 4 Comments
After a brief round of rumours (and many more reports surfacing earlier this year), EA and developer Visceral Games has officially announced the existence of Battlefield Hardline, a new police-themed entry to the long-running military shooter franchise.
Writing on the official EA news blog, Visceral Games' Steve Papoutsis said that he is "fired up to confirm" the team's next project, Battlefield Hardline, a game he says is out in late 2014 that represents a new series in the Battlefield franchise, this time concerning itself with the battle between "cops and criminals" in the ever going "war on crime."
We'll find out a lot more about Battlefield Hardline on June 9th when the game will be formally unveiled to the public, as well as at E3 2014 in the middle of June.
Battlefield Hardline has been a long time in the making, Papoutsis writes, and can be traced back to an internal EA meeting he had with various creative leaders within EA several years ago. Papoutsis wrote:
"It was there I met Karl Magnus Troedsson, the GM of DICE, for the first time, and we immediately began talking about games – I've always loved Battlefield and KM was a huge fan of Dead Space, which I was working on at the time.
"We started talking about different ways we could work together, different ways we could take Battlefield and action games in a new direction. It was then that this project that became Battlefield Hardline was born."
If you would like your first lengthy peek at Battlefield Hardline, then you can watch the recently leaked seven minute internal review video below showcasing the action and features of the game, being discussed under the codename of 'Omaha' – fascinating stuff:
Unfortunately the Battlefield Hardline videos have been scrubbed from the face of Mother Internet, but if we find a new source we'll update again.

size limitations
Are the size limitations for storage limited to the amount of hard disk space on the user's device when using this solution?
When packaging with cordova, is this the right solution for storing and retrieving large video files (>500mb) on a users device for offline viewing? Maybe I need the Cordova SQLite plugins (for iOS)?

How to guarantee unique records?
This proxy has brilliantly solved a lot of the problems I was having. Thank you.
I'm stuck, though, on one particular table, where I need to ensure that records are unique, and don't know how. This is my model:
Ext.define('LRS.model.Answers', { extend: 'Ext.data.Model', config: { fields: [ {name: 'id', type:'int'}, {name:'distribution_respondent_id',type:'int'}, {name:'survey_id', type:'int'}, {name:'question_id',type:'int'}, {name:'question_response_value', type:'string'}, {name:'response_skipped', type:'int'}, {name:'response_skipreason', type:'string'}, {name:'response_comment',type:'string'}, {name:'date', type: 'long'}, {name:'synced', type:'string'} ] }, identifier: 'uuid' });
21 Feb 2013 1:28 AM #183
Maybe I can be of help....
Apologies if I'm wrong on the following assumption (would be embarrassing on my own code!) but I don't believe that each table actually has an ID column; I think this is actually set from the auto-increment __ROWID__ on each websql/sqlite table (http://www.sqlite.org/autoinc.html). In that case your concerns about overriding the ID column as the primary key wouldn't apply, because strictly that column is not even part of the table's schema, in fact if you inspect the tables using the webkit dev tools, it doesn't even show.
So theoretically, you should be able to modify the create table method on the proxy (perhaps extend the proxy and have an additional config for an array of primary keys?), modifying the create table statement should be fairly easy:
Hope this helps!

Sorry for hideously late reply (to billtallitsch)
If you package to native, this will still use websql, therefore it's subject to the 5mb limit. In fact, asking for more space in a native app is not a good idea. webview's do not handle that request well.
If you want more than 5mb you'll need to go ahead and use the plugin. I believe there's one for android too.

composite primarykey
Thanks for the information, shepsii, and for the suggestion. Excellent idea. I have a tendency to work with what I've got (i.e. lazily rely on other people's hard work), but modifying the proxy is a great suggestion.

21 Mar 2013 8:02 AM #187
If you are using Cordova/PhoneGap to create a native app, there's a plugin that looks like it allows larger limits. I haven't used anything like this however so I can't be sure.

Hi everyone,
I have a question with the sqlite proxy . Can the application's database be deleted if user delete the cookies, cache .. in iOS settings ?
15 Apr 2013 11:04 PM #189
No, the application database is not deleted or even effected when you clear cookies and data from "ios setting".
I have checked it in simulator.

The family of Katie Autry has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Western Kentucky University and affiliated parties.
The suit claims WKU was negligent in enforcing its safety and security policies, negligence the estate believes lead to Autry's death. The suit names dorm staff who were employed or on duty at the time of Autry's death, including the dorm supervisor, assistant supervisor, and three Resident Assistants.
Ben Crocker, the estate's attorney, says he is unimpressed with recommendations formulated by a safety and security task force. He believes it was a lack of enforcement of existing policies that led to Autry's death.
Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity is also named as a defendant. Police believe Autry attended a party at the Pike fraternity house on the night of Autry's murder, and the estate's lawyer says the fraternity was negligent in its handling of the party, and in transporting Autry and Stephen Soules home from the party. Soules and Lucas Goodrum have are awaiting trial for Autry's rape and murder.
Pi Kappa Alpha did not return our call, but WKU released a statement, which in part reads:
"While the University regrets the terrible crime that was perpetrated against Ms. Autry, it is confident that the facts will show neither its staff nor its policies played a role in this tragic event. It is the position of the University that the person or persons involved in this crime are solely responsible for Ms. Autry's death."

Showmedo is a peer-produced video-tutorials and screencasts site for free and open-source software (FOSS)- with the exception of some club videos, the large majority are free to watch and download.
Kudos and Thanks for Dai
Hi Dai,
Yes, your new mic is great. It is much clearer and less noisy. I don't know where you record your videos, but the acoustic is slightly reverberant. You can fix this with a bit of sound deadening, probably fitted to the wall behind you, but it depends on the room. This stops reflected sound being received by the mic and would make the sound even better, but hey, a great improvement anyway. BTW, thanks for the videos, they are really useful!
Very useful. Said just the right amount with no time wasting. Very pleasant voice. I will listen to all your vids on Base.
This one was good also. However, the list of fields that he shows within his "Appointments" in this tutorial has more then what he showed and did in his prior exercise. I remember seeing the entire list of fields in the overview video so I used that to guide me to add the missing fields in order to follow his instructions on this exercise. Could get confusing for some people.... Thanks again! -Ron
So far I really like these videos. I really like the step by step method. I can work along side by side and follow the video. It's awesome. Thank you so..... much!
Thanks for your help .
Great! Finally managed to attach text to a line in Scribus. Thanks.
good tutorial
Great vid !
Makes it look easy, thanks.
Hi Dai,
We're working with openoffice and google docs in english language (our native language is Basque). We aim to use the videos so students can listen to native english speakers and put into practice what they see. Thank you for your great job !!
Thanks for the help.Good vid' for first timers like me at 60 years old.I need all the help I can get!
fabulous. Worked for me!
thank - you
Great - easy and clear
Great - easy and clear coverage of a topic that had me stumped.
It was quite fine but what about putting text into table?

Consider two numbers $a>b>0$. Let $A_1,A_2,A_3$ be three convex sets in ${\mathbb R}^2$ such that $\mu(A_i)=a$, $\mu(A_i\cap A_j)=b$ ($\mu$ is the usual measure on ${\mathbb R}^2$). What is the minimal possible value of $\mu(A_1\cap A_2\cap A_3)$?
Surely, if we omit the convexity assumption, the answer is trivial. But it is not necessary realizable by convex sets. Consider, for instance, the case $a=2b$: the answer is nonzero!
It seems that the optimal construction is the following one. Take a triangle $ABC$, and cut three trapezoids $A_BA_CBC$, $B_AB_CCA$, $C_AC_BBA$ (here $A_BA_C\parallel BC$, $B_A,C_A\in BC$, similar relations for the others). E.g., for $a=2b$ the altitude of the trapezoid is $2/5$ of the altitude of triangle; hence the answer in this case seems to be $1/16$.
The generalizations are also interesting. E.g., what happens if we fix the areas but omit the relation that they are equal?

You start accidentally naming FM-created players in general conversation.

10 caracters
You always somehow seem to mention something regarding your FM savegame in day-to-day conversations with friends upto the point that they think you have found a substitute for having a girlfriend/wife.
You do something like this;
You begin hating random teams IRL because you lose to them badly on FM..
When tutoring younger colleagues, start every other explanation on why stuff isn't working as it should with "it's your tactics".
You are genuinely sorry when you have to release Dale Tonge when he has helped your York side to successive promotions from the Conference to League 1 that you remain upset for the rest of the day. You then search him on facebook and add him (which he accepts) and on social interview the question comes up 'Have you done anything to Dale Tonge that you want to apologise for?' to which I answer, 'Dale, I am so so sorry for releasing you from York, I hope it hasn't affected you or your family in anyway.' Then a few days later you decide to have a nosy on his profile and find out that he has deleted you off hus friends!! 100% true story
when you sit next to your brother in law who is playing the game, and call yourself his assistant manager.
(funny thing about it being, he left me in charge for one game while he went for drinks, and i lost it LOL! )

here and then Paint, patience and a boring Saturday afternoon.
When you go to the cinema and after the end of the film the only thing you remember is that you should'n play Eduardo
your friends are bored of you and they think you are playing fm all your time (something you refuse)
remember that you have bought a new pc game and you haven't tried it yet
you see dreams that you have won the CL with a semi-professional team
watching football and after a goal you expect a replay
When you see your team losing on TV and wish that you can quit and reload the game.
When you starting thinking that it is actually 2015.
when you have 3 notebooks full of different tactics for your team. with full instructions for all of your players to deal with all possibilities like having your goalie sent off
When you lament the fact you can't order an Albacete shirt online and have the name and number of your favourite regen on the back!
When you spend hours upon hours in the Editor creating a fantasy league where Spain has been split into its 17 autonomous regions, with each region having its own league, and with each champion of these leagues then going into a 17-team Championship play-off to decide the overall winner/European representatives, then creating a thread in the Spanish discussion section asking for advice on which teams should be placed in these leagues (all in Spanish btw!), only to find out that it's close to impossible to get something like that working on FM . You make a vow to just play the game from now on and leave editing to others.
Then a week later you start a new "project"...

..when I play FM on the iPhone while waiting for the Continues on the PC version
See post number 10 Suzie.
amazing shirt
I think your really addicted to FM when you see it's 11pm, say one more game and next time you see the clock it reads 4am... but you don't give a crap and just keep on playing. Or, and this is a true story. I was with this girl and ya know one thing leads to another and so on. So there i was, at it, and at some point i was starting to become a bit bored and began plotting out my summer transfers in my head lol
You mistake your wife for Jonjo Shelvey
Im genuinely relieved reading this thread i honeslty thought i was mental
Taking bbc/sky tunnel interviews after every match
Talking in a foreign twang when your new signing is being interviewed
Shouting loudly at dots on a computer screen
Clapping your bedroom walls after that great win
imagening Soccer Saturday and Match of the day talking about how brilliant your doing and if your too young to be talked about as the new england manager!
(i need a girlfriend)
You are so confused you don't remember at the presente time is 2010 or 2012 (like in the game).
When you hear the ambulance because you´ve forgotten to eat.
Once i binged on football manager so much that when my brother came in to wake me up i asked him (in a sleepy daze) to call Beckham's agent and find out his birthday, i needed it for the contract lol. Also i think your addicted when in May you start plotting signings for the next FM game... Already got my eye on the capture of Charlie Austin and Connor Wickham lol
...when you bump a few months old thread to write nonsense.
When you are explaining to your (know nothing much about football) girlfriend about how you brought Leeds United back to the Premier League in two seasons and how the relegation system works... :P
P.S. When your girlfriend is paying all her attention to you but your eyes are stuck on the PC monitor awaiting the next goal!
you download a commentary pack and then look for the new lines in commentary coming up.
When you come up with a version of the new Nike ad with your world class Ukrainian regen striker as the star.
When FM starts suggesting what should be on your CV.
When you start dreaming about FM in your sleep and your career goal is to work for SI!
when u watch ppl on street and thinking what is their potential ability
cause their current ability is so poor that u would fired them same moment
You know you're addicted to football manager when... You play your first match.
when you frequently ********** over it
When your thinking of players to buy during your exams... :P
Your laptop breaks and you borrow your brother's even though you can't play FM on it; you've just got used to the feeling of plastic under your fingertips and that disturbing, possibly wi-fi-radiation related, heat on your thighs...
1. Doodling tactics while on the toilet :o
2. When in real life the club makes a signing that you know won't fit in with your system, you get upset, even if he is class.
3. When you have smashed up 2 PC mice in as many days because of dubious reffing decisions :o
4. When you smash up your keyboard because of more dubious reffing decisions...

You know you are addicted to football manager when............
I forgot to study for a test because i was trying (again!) to set up a 3-5-2
when u make enquiry on chees in supermarket .
when your girlfriend request to be place on the transfer list
When all u do at work is playing FM. not to mention what i do at home most of the time.
and when u go to bed u take ur laptop with u and play some more.
or when u go take a dump u might take the laptop with u as the season is coming to an end and i have that great prospect coming 1st of July..
I constantly find that whenever a conversation or class doesnt interest me that much i pull out my notebook and begin writting down tactics or signings.
Playing FM on the toilet, in bed, in the car (when not driving ) and what i do all the time is interview myself, if im walking along the beach its 'so (name) how do you feel about this or what is your plan etc. Sometimes when im walking around or waiting in a que i begin interviewing myself and do it aloud, get the weirdest looks ever!!
When you find the club song for your 3rd Tier Spanish side and decide to play it before your next game.
You then score whilst it's playing so you repeat the song throughout the game and get your best result of the season.

Two things:
1 - I've actually wondered in the past what other people do with their time. I mean, they must have so much of it to play with!
2 - I coach an under 15s team, and on Sunday as I was putting on a sub, I used the phrases "play as an Inside Forward...attacking...cut inside onto your right foot" (at that point it was 1-2...we scored twice in the last couple of minutes to win 3-2 )
you wear a suit and tie during a press conference in game, your on this forum, your on this thread and you've realized you've done most of the stuff
When you press ALT + F9 outside of Football Manager to take a print screen...
When I become frustrated for a whole day because I got knocked out of the cup by a late goal.
When you coach U8 and it's only 4 on 4 with no keepers...and you still wonder if Billy the 7yr old would make a better AMC or MC.....and say things in your head like....his workrate is definitely 18 but his teamwork is a miserable 8.
When you watch a world cup game and try to decide what FM instructions you'd give to each player on the pitch (run from deep, run with ball, etc).
When you watch a Euro Championships or World Cup and claim to have made the new star the player he is because you signed him as a kid a few years ago.... Ozil anyone??
When you have goal music ready on YouTube just incase your side scores at home
you have sex the when they're asleep you sneak to the laptop to play lol
Yoy say to ur friends things like: "You have bravery 4", depending what they do! :P
when you, beyond all expectation get blackpool into the prem, and immediately look for veterans, such as vieria, zenden, campbell, carsley, on a cheap free transfer and you offer them a contract, then when you get excited when it says, ...... set to sign, when you wasnt really expecting them too!
and then when you struggle with blackpool in the premier league, do the honoruable thing and resign and give reasons in your head, such as the club needs someone to take them to the next level, and you personally feel you have done all you can do with the club, and need a new challenge in your career, and get offered the fiorentina job, and steer them from 17th in serie a to 5th!
When you are late for work!
When you watch Celtic play Braga in the UCL qualifying round and realize you had Charlie Mulgrew in your Champions League winning squad at Leeds!

In work and you go to press F4 to check your inbox
When you're in your bedroom playing FM and you parents call you and the first think you think is 'What could this be about, we've won three of our last six games despite the captain being injured'.
1. when you need to do a cv to go out and get a job cos you have finished school and you need somethin to do in the summer, but you choose to load up fm rather than office (happenin to me)
2. when you follow players because they have done good for you (if balotelli goes city i cant use him next season at inter)
3. you are constantly on fm or any fm related site (fansite, si forums)
4. when you are lookin at specs on new computersyou mention to whoever youre with 'that would run fm good' (i say this to my mate most of the time)

when your thinking off tactics and what players to buy when your a sleep
your tempted to write a letter to your football team telling them which players to buy to get them to win the league
When you have an important job interview the next morning yet are STILL on FM10 at 2am the night before.
When you feel that you should have a profile tab which you can check to see whether a girl is interested in you or not.
When you can't play FM for one day & you get withdrawal symptoms!
When you actually understand the real life 25-man squad rule brought in to the Premiership, only because its on FM 2010
When you are not playing it and all you can think about it is playing it but you cant because your girlfriend will be mad at you
(she says its not real)
was watching liverpool's Europa League qualifier and when Maxi Rodriguez came on i was momentarily stunned as i thought i had already sold him last season
When your entire geography knowledge comes from knowing different football clubs across the world due to journeyman careers...
when you are in 2031 searching for world class regens, and when you see ex-players getting sacked like crazy
When you begin discussing tactical settings with someone who's never played the game.
when you wake up at 4AM with a solution to your team sliding down the table, so you bung the PC on to give it a go!
starting to scream at the monitor....
you start applying for real managers jobs
and you put in your cv that you have won the champs league twice:o
or when you are watching a real game and are convinced one of the opposition players should be banned....cause he is in the game
