i'm in as manager of Oxford City!
Hitchin Season 2011/12
Interesting first season in fm2012. In a season where Stoke beat Arsenal 1-0 to secure the FA Cup and Hithin managed to not getting relegated!
Not alot to mention from this season however. Finished 12th - Better than expected.
Cup runs or lack of same. FA Cup 4th round qual. FAT 3rd round qual.
Profile - Squad - Transfers - Finances (those can only improve) !
2 players worth mentioning.
GK Loris Karius (Oliver Kahn wannabe) !
MR Louis Moss (Hitchin's own Cristiano Ronaldo) !
Code:Year League Achievement Special Events 2011/12 BSN 12th None
Here we go! Have taken charge of Chester. Screen shots etc. later on this evening.
We are tipped as promotion out siders..... we'll see about that.
It seems very hard to keep finances in control. My wages werre more than £500 under budget all season and we still lost £210k for the year!
If anyone has a North Ferriby Save that is what i am looking for!
FINALLLLYYYY!!! After reloading I dont know how many hundreds of times I got my team. I am now in charge of Matlock. This is the 4th year in a row I will try with Matlock. Have yet to beat the challenge. My best result was last year when I got the the Premiership and won it one year and got to the Champ League knockout round. This year I will finish it.
Taken the reigns of the club that is close to my hometown. Also Lowestoft our fierce rivals (With a better reputation) have been promoted with us to the BSN.
Bury Town Fc - Glenn Crane - 2012/2013
Our aim this year is to keep our position in this division and with the help of the legend that is James Scowcroft and a player that is BSP quality, Lee Smith, we hope that it is an achievable goal.
Say hello to Glenn Crane the new manager of Bury Town FC
Bored of trying to get Met Police after 3 days now. Going to keep reloading until the end of the Spurs game then pick from the saves I have.
Bit more reloading; about 100 odd times now. It seems, although inconclusive, that relegated teams probably do have some sort of an impact on those coming up. To further investigate this (and because I haven't really found a team I want yet) I'm going to do a third season of reloading, and see what that does for us.

Well letting a bunch of my players leave in the off-season. was a big mistake. Its july 8th and I haven't signed any new players. And somehow I managed to forget to resign my coaching staff! Things not looking good for my second season!
Anyone know how to offer non contacted players a contract.....basically i have about 2 players in my squad that have started on non contracts. I want to put them both on aprt time terms, but when i offer a new contract and choose part time, it won;t let me give them a wage or increase their contract length....ANY IDEAS? Or is this a bug?
Just lost 5-4 to Welling, and they scored all five from corners. How did this manage to get even worse than 11.3?
Edit: Found this one, and left a post...

In November, only scored 17 league goals :confused:
ok first season over, gutted lost in the play off final to a own goal in extra time
Final Table
Playoff final
Oh well always next season, not bad finishing 3rd considering the target was mid-table
I didn't get a best eleven at the end of my first season. What's up with that?
Right, so, here we go!
I am returning to the scene of one of my favourite saves, Carshalton Athletic.
Premier League won by Manchester City on goal difference by a single goal. QPR, Newcastle and Swansea relegated, with West Ham, Reading and Portsmouth replacing them.
Wycombe are relegated from League One, finishing bottom.

Drew. Lowestoft Town. Blue Square North. 2012/2013
Finised in mid-table, squad was pretty crap, so tried to clear a lot of crap, but was unable to.
Finances were ok, managed to rake in £100k+ from cup runs.
Aims for Next Season:
Improve the squad.
Finish higher.
Try and progress further in the Cups.
Only one more new team, bit disappointing really, only 29/63 teams to have appeared so far, which is well under half. Not sure whether to keep going or just settle down with one of the teams below. From the thread, I've counted four others which have appeared for people other than myself.

Dave, going by your table, I feel privileged to have been served up with Hastings United, on only my second reload. Joint 2nd bottom Rep not too shabby at all.
Just been struck by a case of Sod's Law; first reload since I posted that table, and I get the 900-rep Banbury United, who I of course promptly took charge of.
Right, now I've finally got round the stupid Steam thing and can actually play the game I'm up for this challenge, I'm playing as Kingstonian.
Small whinge. I've just finished updating the CHALLENGE TABLE, but got very confused because people are putting the wrong years on their posts. Please remember that we holiday the 2011-12 season so your first season report will be for 2012-13! Very confusing when trying to update the table, guys!!
Howdy. I've finally finished holidaying for the 3rd time. Firstly, I holidayed too far, saved at 19:00 on 23rd June and it seems that by that time, the teams coming up are predetermined. The second time, instead of adding the Evo-Stik/Ryman Premiership players, I added the First Division ones. Cue a third bout of holidaying.
Last year I took part in the Challenge without posting anything. I completed the challenge with Truro and got to 2030 - the furthest I've ever got in a single game.
So with pride, I present to you the new manager of Redditch United - a club close to me geographically, and very close to my heart.

Dafuge: Is there a ddt file required this year? I didn't see one in the opening post and don't want to go through the reloading process without it if there is.
MikaelS: Glad to see you got Chippenham much faster this year I hope to be joining you shortly.
Good luck to everyone taking part in this challenge! I look forward to reading all of your stories.
Quavis - no DDT file this year as you can load all players from certain divisions
Coming into February, I have no idea how many players I've bought and released! Doing OK in the League though
Thanks Guys! Cool new feature on the adding divisions even below BSS/BSN. Will be starting to holiday soon.
Im still trying to finalize my plans this year. I really want to try the geographical restrictions this year (never really got that game started last year) , but not sure I have the time to set it all up.
Just had my first team meeting at my ass mans suggestion as morale was low, was hoping to kick on for the last 12 games to make the playoffs. Managed instead to really demotivate all the players, i think midtable beckons.
? .
Just took over Tooting & Mitcham United, more info on its way
Any recommendations for a decent midfielder?
Can someone give this a quick once over and make sure I did this right. I'm showing 30k players where some of the rest of you are showing 17k.
I'm guessing this is the extra players from top clubs on all continents (which is legal), but can someone please confirm. I do find the extra players keeps the top continental clubs more effect and makes it tougher down the road if I ever get to Europe (lol...). It wont help me early either with my geographic restrictions.
Nearly the end of the season, we are sittingjust outside the Play-Offs, just had a good win away at Farnborough, I think we might just sneak in
Hey all. Back from Emirates, table updated, time to start playing my game! Must avoid relegation!!!
Well 1st July and i beat the reserves 2-0. Just sorted out the contracts. Im going with 4-4-2 FIRE BOOMERANG AND SHIELD which are my own formations, which i built myself.
Signed a few players already.
Looking forward to the new season. will keep posted and updated each month.

A quick update from my Worksop game... i'm top of the league after 31 games in my first season, but FC United are hot on my heels. I was 10 points clear at one stage, but a poor run of form has allowed them to catch up. Hopefully I can hold out for promotion!
How do you do that? Im battling against relegation with the same team!!
I notice there still seems to be nobody promoted to the BSP yet - does anyone on here think its a bit harder than in previous years.
I always found the first season could be easily done by giving out FT contracts to players.
Edit: looking at Gypsum maybe its just me! 7 losses and 2 wins in the last 9 has wrecked any playoff hopes i had by the same stage.

Certainly seems Gypsum is doing the best so far. But I got the impression this challenge was too easy before, at least in the early stages....

Here I go - numerous reloads await
Hoping for someone a little different - its looking like a Southern team i guess
Been reloading for hours now and no team below 1000 has appeared! Lowest has been Canvey Island which might have to be my destination if there are no teams appearing
After spending an hour or two reloading yesterday, I finally got a save with - not just one - but three teams that I thought seemed interesting.
Today I decided which club I'd give a go. I am now the proud manager of Chippenham Town. ;-)

HENDON F.C - Season 2012/13
League Table | Squad | Transfers In 1, In 2, Out
Well we missed out on the Play-Offs on goal difference, bit of a downer but after our start I am more than happy with the progress made, with a few additions I can see this team compete better next season. We got knocked out the F.A Cup early so no money there but we won in a few rounds of the F.A Trophy.
Signings of the season are Goalkeeper Loris Karius, Defender Semi Ajayi and Striker Mehdi Lazaar.
Next season I'm hoping to make the Play-Offs and a good Cup run would be nice!Code:Season Division Position Cups ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2012/13 Blue Square South 6th F.A Cup 3rd Qual Rnd, F.A Trophy 2nd Rnd

I have signed for Hitchin due to team colours and the nickname Hopefully the season will be a good one with many more to come. Full update come the end of the season. Me. I also figured re-making their logo into the one above a good idea since their actual one is poor quality plus, I prefer the yellow and green badge to the actual badge colours.
I just survived a takeover of my bury town side. I would have been so demotivated with this challenge if I had to start again after all the hours I've already put in.
And it wasnt worth the stress either. The new chairman isnt planning any investment so our bank balance is still in the red to the tune of a few £100k.
Ive had the followig teams so far
FC United
Bradford PA
St Albans
Tooting and Mitcham
None of which interest me so far
Dan BHTC: 6th is a great start for season 1 Loris Karius is is awesome. I can see you being able to ride him until at least league 2/1. Always nice having a great keeper to bail out some of the horrible decisions lower league defenders make!
Also congrats on the stadium... but I have a feeling that might be a curse this far down. Those loan repayments are gonna be a strain on the finances (which are usually already in the red).
After multiple reloads and not really getting anyone that interesting, I decided to return to Bradford Park Avenue whom I last attempted with FM06/07.
Here's my profile.
hmm 6th after 8 games not a bad start
I must say im enjoying how much more challenging playing in conf north/south is. When I first started trying LLM on FM it was easy to sign really good youngsters on loans and then when I last competed in this challenge I was able to get instantly promoted by signing all my players as full time. Whilst it is frustrating I'm enjoying having to worry more about my tactics in the lower leagues than simply signing good players and watching them dominate.
Not a bad pre-season, 4 wins and a draw against our rivals sutton.
Looking forward to updating you all next month as to how the season has started for Carshalton.
48 reloads later - skipping another season to see who I get
After a brilliant crash dump error that corrupted my save game and meant that I lost progress from 7 games I've had to restart (again) with my Hastings save. Ten games in, stuck at the bottom of the table but I've just gone for 3 up front against the 2nd from bottom team and doubled my goal tally for the season by scoring 4 :-)
Stafford Rangers are mine! Hells to the yeah, bringing them the big time!
Joined the group
Had a break from my save for a bit but got an urge to play a few now. Think I've completed my signings after scouting/trialing loads and was short for 1st few games but ready to go now.

Worksop Town | Season 2012/13
Table | Positions Graph | Squad | Finances | Transfers
The league campaign started off brightly, faded away completely, and then was reborn from the ashes in order to save the club from relegation. It was far from a vintage season, but the team battled hard for survival and got there, in the end, fairly comfortably - in fact, after the 12th game, we were never in the relegation zone. Always looked like we'd do enough to stay up, but every time I thought we might be able to push on and get into mid-table, we faltered and lost a few on the spin. Oh well...
Probably needed to do more of a clear-out of the dead wood although one of my key players of the season was one who was already at the club. Luckily, I only gave one-year contracts to all my signings so though there were a lot of expensive newbies, most of them will be released this summer for nothing, allowing for me to continue to re-invigorate the team and try to push up the league. After a really good start, we faded, and were fighting for our lives right up to mid-April. No cup runs to speak of, as I lost to lower-league Bridlington in a shocking display in the FA Cup, and though I had impressive, victories against Eastwood and Lowestoft in the FA Trophy, Lincoln were always going to be a step too far in the 2nd round proper.
Financially we are on a steep downward curve, with the wage bill far too high. We lost £250k this season and are £160k in the red. Gonna try to get some big friendlies this summer to gain at least some cash, but a good cup run would be helpful - think of the cash that would be generated by a third round plum tie against a big-4 side! So next season, I want to improve on my position in the league by at least 3 places, and have at least two more cup matches in total. Here's hopin'
Key Players
Stefan Oakes - unspectacular AvR, but did a really good job, chipping in with 12 more key passes than the next best in the squad, and the most assists.
Jamie Tank* - he really is a Tank, though I cant take any credit for finding him. He was a colossus and if he hadnt got injured we might have been closer to mid-table.
Carl Cort - the only other player to get an AvR of over 7. Not going to last much longer and my staff dont think he can do it at this level any more, but 7 goals in 20 starts in a team finishing 17th of 22 isnt half bad, and a few of those were in crucial games at the end of the season.
Aaron Phillips - solid season from Aaron, ran further than anyone else other than Oakes, and is a serious prospect. Put in a lot of key tackles, too. Spent more minutes on the pitch than anyone else.
Luke Beckett - top goalscorer by a country mile, and with 20 goals, the only player to reach double figures. Declined towards the end of the season and is 36 so probably wont get many more (if any).
Sam Duncum - doesnt look like much and probably isnt but he came up with some crucial performances in big games. Was the best player at the club when I arrived. A serious injury kept him out of the team until well into the new year, and he's probably not good enough to push on, but I think he deserves recognition.
(*= fans' player of the year)
Most of the rest will probably be released over the summer in a major clearout to make space for a raid on released EPL players.

Finally off and running. Won my first friendly 2-0 away at Cray Wanderers. However, one of my first choice strikers twisted his ankle, and is now out for two months. Now I'm left with 3 strikers to choose from.
I have a feeling this might be the sign of things to come!
Squad - Transfers In and Out - Final Table - Position HistoryWe started the season on a great run, possibly helped by a pre-season friendly victory over local rivals Swindon, that saw us go top for a few weeks after the first 10 games of the season. Sadly the bad run that so many others have suffered from saw us slide down to midtable where we remained for the rest of the season with relegation never really a threat. We did nothing in the cups, suffering a surprise loss to Swindon Supermarine in the FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round and a narrow defeat to Hampton & Richmond in the FA Trophy 3rd Qualifying Round.
HIGH - Coming 3rd in the 'Manager of the Season' vote. Oh and beating eventual playoff winners Woking.
LOW - Losing 7-1 to Dorchester
STAR - Adam Francis. Signed him after the season started but he was clearly a good player, even when he wasn't scoring he was still a consistent performer. I've already got him signed up for next season!

All those promises of released Premiership players being interested - none of them are even prepared to talk money with me!
I signed Beadle in my game and he's already on his way out this summer
He never really performed in the games I used him in, picked up 3 yellow cards in the 9 games he played and I'm sure I had a stand off with him when he moaned about a lack of first team opportunities. Hope he does a bit better for you.
Argh! I've let too many players go and cant find any decent players to replace them! Help! Where are all these Premiership rejects people keep discussing?! Going to bed now - still got time in the transfer window but where are all these players I've been assured I can get - thats why I let a fair few go, my squad is now soooooo thin!!!!
EDT: Just had a "one more day" "one more day" "one more day" hour! Just played the first league game of the season, a really disappointing 2-0 defeat at Nuneaton. Tomorrow we need to get this sorted!!!
Last edited by GreyedOutMan; 24-10-2011 at 03:41.
What I did this summer was to scout everyone under 21 who was released from all Premiership clubs during the summer(a painstalking job, and it took about half an hour) and tried to offer a contract to all of them(but no one would even talk to me). If they signed for another club I removed them from my shortlist. At October there where quite a number of players left on my list and some of them would now talk contracts with me. Got a couple of good ones, but the real gems were allready poached by bigger clubs.
God damn, I'm only 4 days late and already we're at almost 500 posts here!
Anyway, holidaying now.
Tempted to just take FC United, just to take the chance to humiliate Man Utd when I surpass them, but maybe should set myself a harder challenge.
Going to be seeing a few changes next season at this rate because I refuse to pay the ridiculous wages that players are suggesting. Should have paid more attention and locked them in for 2 years in the first place...
After a dozen or so reloads I've decided I'll take the first sub 1000 rep team I get, however long that might take...
Finally on a roll at Hastings Utd, got 1st choice right back and def mid back that were injured in pre-season only trouble is it's now mid march and playing for nothing but pride due to major problems of not finding any suitable for a month or so
currently on a run of 14 played, 5 wins 7 draws 2 loses so hopefully we can keep the run going to finish as high as possible
Its not happening
I have a couple of 1100 rep saves and I'm dying to get playing. One more reload..
Inspired by someone earlier in this thread, I noticed Bedford had no manager when they came up, so I applied and was offered the job!
So, I am now manager of The Eagles
Now the hard work begins...
1. Create a fake manager.
2. Holiday to the 23rd of June 2012.
3. Holiday 1 day.
4. Look which teams pop up as new ones in BSN/BSS.
5. Repeat 3+4 until you find the one you like.
6. Retire the fake manager.
7. Create yourself as manager.
8. Select the team you want.
9. Play until you drop
Well, that was an amazing first season really. I did far better than I had ever expected to and finished 9th overall hovering mid-table for most of the season. We went on a Fourteen match unbeaten run and I managed a Manager of the Month Award. It was actually a disappointing result in the end because we had a real shot at the playoffs with 9 games to go but our form went a bit wonky when the unbeaten run ended. Our 14th game was against Farnborough in 1st and it came to an end against Bromley who were in 11th!
Oxford City Football Club Season 2012/13
Final Table and Graph
As far as cup runs go - lost in the first game of the FA Cup and lost in the first round of the FA trophy - all to clubs in lower divisions.
As far as transfers go I brought in 17 players and let 15 go. Only 3 players at the club when I arrived saw any kind of significant game time.
Players of Note
Top 3
3. Liam Blakeman - My midfield maestro with 10 assists. Liam controlled my midfield like a master and kicked off countless attacking moves by playing others into the front third.
2. Darlington Iroha - I signed this guy in December and in February he was chasing the tails of the golden boot leaders grabbing the player of the month for Feb. He went on a rampage as soon as I signed him, never content to score only 1 goal a game. If he hadn't been injured for 6 weeks towards the end of the season we probably would have been pushing that playoff spot and he'd be in line for the Golden Boot. He finished with 14 goals, 3 assists and 4 MoM performances in 19 appearances. The best part is I've signed him until 2016 on 85 pound a week!
1. Lewis Powell - My surprise package. I signed him with a view to him being a backup striker because while he has pace and finishing I was expecting that his composure of 5 would have him spraying balls all over the shop. He was spraying balls all over the shop but still knocked in 15 goals and also provided 9 assists. He definitely was a major contributor to how we finished. Shame he won't be staying but his wage demands are just stupid.
Special mention: Daniel Wilkinson - One of the players already at the club when I arrived who turned out to be a very tidy defender chipping in with 3 goals and 5 assists
as well.
Goals for next season
There is no reason that we can't be pushing for promotion. I need to do another clearout and bring in a few better players to work with the couple of stars that I've managed to hang onto.
Wouldn't mind a few good cup wins to boost the finances either.

I was hoping some one could point me in the right direction about what type of AI you would use for a Spades game? For instance, would you create a behavioral tree or would you implement some other type of AI concept. I'm fairly new to AI which is why I'm hoping to get some AI vets to chime in.
I once programmed AI for Tarneeb, a card game very similar to Spades. The person I was working with wanted to do a pattern recognition thing involving lots of stored games and stats on the outcome based on what moves were done in different situations. In essence, the AI would become better over time the more games it played. However, from playing many hands and analyzing my own thought process, I determined that there were just a small number of "algorithms" I would employ to figure out what card I would play.
Thus the approach I took was to have the computer use a different algorithm depending on the following situations: making the first bid, making a bid after the first, playing a new trick with Spades in hand, playing a new trick without Spades, playing into an already started trick with Spades, and playing into an already started trick without any Spades. In each case it was pretty straightforward to go from the computer's current hand to deciding what play to make.
As thedaian said, this is indeed too broad of a question. But, for starters, you can have a look at what most board/cards games use: Minimax.
The trick is to have a state of the game and being able to properly evaluate how good in a position a given player is. Once you have solved this step, then you simply emulate X steps ahead to choose the best path the player should go.
Use expectimax (Russell and norvig Artificial intelligence 3rd edition). Alpha beta is possible with bounded evaluation function values)

In the study of a particular PDE I found myself wanting to prove the following inequality:
$( \int_0^{\infty} r^{-3} |f|^6 \; dr )^{1/6} \leq C ( \int_0^{\infty} [ r^{-1} |f|^2 + r |f'|^2 + r |f''|^2] \; dr )^{1/2}$
for some constant $C > 0$ and all $f \in C^{\infty}_c((0,\infty);(-\infty,\infty))$.
Partial progress:
If $\mathop{supp} f \in [r_0, \infty)$, for some $r_0 > 0$ then $( \int_0^{\infty} r^{-3} |f|^6 \; dr )^{1/6} \leq C(r_0) ( \int_0^{\infty} [ r^{-1} |f|^2 + r |f'|^2 ] \; dr )^{1/2}$. However, $C(r_0) \rightarrow \infty$ as $r_0 \searrow 0$ as can be seen by basic scaling. This lead me to try to decompose $f$ into two parts, for concreteness, one supported on say $[1/2,\infty)$ and the other supported in $(0,2]$. However, this didn't lead me anywhere.
I employed a heuristic analysis as in http://terrytao.wordpress.com/2010/03/11/a-type-diagram-for-function-spaces/ . Of course, one has to also track the position of the bump function since the norms are not translation invariant. The inequality was satisfied under this heuristic but I didn't know how to make it rigourous.
Tried the change of variables $p = \log r$ to no avail.
I don't have any reason, except for the above, to believe that the inequality is true so perhaps someone can come up with a counterexample?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

I am trying to learn formal schemes. I tried to read the section in Hartshorne but I don't get very far from there since things are not done quite explicitly enough, at least in my opinion. I cannot read French, so EGA is out of the question. I would really appreciate it if you could tell me a good introduction to this topic.
I really liked this paper by Neil Strickland. It's quite good, but it only really covers the affine case. Be forewarned that, as stated in the introduction, scheme is taken to mean affine scheme unless explicitly noted. A very nice thing about the approach of this paper is that it works without many/any finiteness assumptions (since these often cannot be assumed for algebro-topological or homotopy-theoretic applications).
If you are interested in the infinitesimal structure of formal schemes (with emphasis on non necessarily adic maps) I suggest to look at my papers with Jeremías and Pérez "Infinitesimal Lifting and Jacobi Criterion for Smoothness on Formal Schemes" (Comm. Alg.) and "Local structure theorems for smooth maps of formal schemes" (JPAA). Also for the deformation theory of formal schemes look at M. Pérez "Basic deformation theory of smooth formal schemes" J. Pure Appl. Algebra 212 (2008), pp. 2381–2388 (MR 2009h:14006). I apologize for this self-promotion...

WEIRTON - U.S. Rep. David McKinley said he feels something needs to change after the Obama administration announced Tuesday it would be delaying the employer mandate of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
The mandate, which will require businesses with at least 50 full-time employees to provide health benefits or face financial penalties, has been delayed until 2015.
While in the area Wednesday, McKinley, R-Wheeling, said delaying the implementation of portions of the law won't fix the problems with it.
"Four years after it was enacted and it's not ready," McKinley said "They should have allowed it to be addressed. It's obviously not working. There are problems all through it."
McKinley said the delay will only create more uncertainty, which will prevent businesses from creating jobs, increase health care costs and raise taxes.
The individual mandate and other aspects of the law are still scheduled to go into effect as planned.
McKinley also noted the delay would lead to the mandate going into effect after the 2014 election, saying the move is more about politics than helping the American people.
"That's wrong," he said. "That's just flat out wrong."
The business mandate isn't the only area McKinley said should be fixed, noting a recent report on the lack of funding to cover the costs of providing insurance for individuals with pre-existing conditions.
"They ran out of money by March," he said. "That was one of the cornerstones."
The Congressman said he feels some aspects of the law are good, and provide some of the reform the American people want, but adjustments are needed.

[CLOSED]Getting Started Guide?
This may not be quite the right forum to post this question, but since it's the only one pertaining directly to Ext JS 4, I thought it would be best.
I can't seem to find a "Getting Started Guide" for the 4.0 release. I'm sure this is due to the "Developer Preview", but I've never worked with Ext JS before, so any help would be appreciated.
Anybody have a "quickstart" guide for 4.0? I've heard that there is new a build process in place, and I want to make sure I start using it from the beginning.
16 Feb 2011 8:33 AM #2
the first alpha is probably not the best choice if you are completely new to ext js -> you can't determine what is a bug or your mistake
best regards
16 Feb 2011 9:52 AM #3
Github Project
Thanks for the information!
Yeah, I know starting with a developer preview is probably not a great tactic, but I'm generally a fairly competent programmer, and I'm eager to get started.
Anyway, I found out that the build tools aren't really in place yet, so you just need to copy a few files over to the proper directories and you're good to go.
I created a Github project to act as a starting point for anyone who just wants to play with Ext JS 4.0. I'll try to keep this updated as newer versions of the developer preview and or beta are released. I would love your thoughts/comments, so just post a message here or add an issue on Github and I'll look at it right away!
16 Feb 2011 11:01 AM #4
Guide? What guide?
If I were you, I get ExtJS in Action book and play w/ Ext 3 first. You can still apply all your knowledge in Ext 4.
16 Feb 2011 12:20 PM #5
I'm looking forward to the promissed prebuild starter-template for creating an extjs 4 application using their new MVC architecture.
16 Feb 2011 12:23 PM #6
16 Feb 2011 12:43 PM #7
thanks, but that's not exactly what i had in mind . A simple fully-working example using the MVC architecture would be the perfect starter template. Something similar with the ext 3 desktop example.
The starter template should reflect:
- application start
- MVC pattern - actually having built a controller/model/view
- going from a page to another (from an action to another on a certain event)
- properly cleaning/destroying the components before switching/going to another action
They said they're gonna ship a complete application architecture that can be used out of the box and this will help a lot of people who want to start an extjs4 application "the proper way".
16 Feb 2011 12:46 PM #8
That's what I'm waiting for as well! At least I can start learning other packages while I wait.

Sencha Touch - need help changing size of select field list length in android
So default behavior for a select field on an android device is to show approx 3 items of data. In chrome, the browser displays 10-20 as a modal overlay.
which CSS rules do i need to change to modify the number of items in a select field?
Also, are there other stylings for select fields, the default touch implementation is pretty ugly with the whole Done/Cancel buttons on the bottom of the display.
PHP Code:
items: [
xtype: 'selectfield',
name : 'room_letter',
label: 'Room',
valueField: 'room_letter',
displayField: 'room_letter',
store: RoomLetterStore

Richardsville Elementary School's principal is worried how state budget cuts will impact his school.
Kory Twyman, Richardsville Elementary principal, "All of our programs especially in Warren County but across the state have made a great impact to be able to educate our children around the state and that's why our scores have continued to increase."
Lawmakers say for now mostly higher education will be suffering.
Senator Brett Guthrie, "Because K-12 and Medicaid has been taken off the table as far as immediate cuts. Cutting to make the budget balanced.
"Budget cuts will be effecting education across the state and while they are no longer effecting K-12 education they could be effecting family resource centers like the one here at Richardsville Elementary."
For family resource officer, Gina Hoofer, the cuts would hurt everyone.
Gina Hoofer, Richardsville Elementary family resource officer, "I think it would be a tremendous hardship for the school. In the month of December we had over 900 contacts in the family resource center."
Richardsville's principal agrees.
Kory Twyman, "I think whenever you start cutting programs or cutting out funding that causes major impacts and when you continue to take money away it's hard to continue at the level at which you're used to functioning. You start taking away teachers and you start adding to class sizes and it's just going to be a very difficult transition to make."

I recently moved into a new apartment and quickly found that the tub drain ran pretty slowly. I wasn't able to fix it myself, so eventually a plumber came in and fixed things up — the drain ran great for a couple of weeks. (I was out when the plumber came so I don't know what exactly s/he did.)
But then I went out of town for a week. When I got back, the drain had become slow again, though not as bad as before. Is there something about not using a drain that might make it slow down? Is there a home remedy (plunging, chemicals, etc.) that might to help even if it didn't before?

Why book with us?
La Plage Casadelmar is first and foremost about the beach. It's also a hotel with a holiday home feel nestled on a sandy beach in the bay of Porto-Vecchio – a port town famed for its spirited nightlife and easy-going elegance, just an hour and a half from Paris. With only fifteen rooms and suites, guests will enjoy individualized service. Whether they are dining with ocean views at the beach grill restaurant serving uncomplicated gourmet cuisine with Mediterranean flavors, are reclining on a daybed by the heated pool, or toasting to the day's end at the lounge bar, they will be surrounded by the riches of this extraordinary island, alongside genuine hospitality that enhances the captivating setting.
A seamless coast
Award-winning French architect Jean-François Bodin – who is also responsible for sister property Casadelmar, reached by complementary boat shuttle – renovated the existing structure to blend seamlessly with the coastal surroundings. The key was to use natural materials and simple lines that do no interfere with the views or landscape. Inside and out, old stone forms the main structure, mixed with volcanic rock, cement, resin, glass, and 300-year-old oak.
Interior Design
Total harmony with nature
The décor features a blend of stone, wood and volcanic rock in bright simplicity. The understated color scheme of the interior also draws from the surroundings with bright turquoise cushions, sandy light browns, white, beige and cream – beautifully balanced by the bold blues of the exterior. Everything in the rooms is inspired by life on the beach: the mat you lay on, the sand that sticks to your feet, the time-worn wooden beach huts, and the seashells you collect.
Made by Originals
Gian Luca Bertilaccio and Jean François Bodin
Sculpting exceptional spaces from raw ingredients, hotel manager Gian Luca Bertilaccio and architect Jean François Bodin have uncovered the chic treasures of Corsica's splendor. Backed by a career in some of Europe's grandest hotels, Bertilaccio is the General Manager of Casadelmar and its sister property La Plage Casadelmar. Bodin is known for his large-scale museum commissions, such as the Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha and the Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine in Paris. Both Bertilaccio and Bodin hold a deep fondness for the Mediterranean island of Corsica, which might be why they were able to so seamlessly integrate the costal environment into their aesthetic vision.

Unanswered: Overriding Ext.panel.Panel DOM
What to know a best practice to override the Ext.panel.Panel. Need to add 4 span around the panel. as the attachment.
Digged to find the js file to find dom structure rendering code but there was lot of extends and now in Ext.AbstractComponent but cant able to find the place where the dom for the panel is created. What is the best way to achieve this . The main reason for trying to override the panel is, required all the functionality of the panel plus this four span around it.
Is this can be achieved only by editing the default dom or it can be done some way by extending panel?
1 Dec 2012 2:05 PM #2
How about hooking into one of the events on the panel?
2 Dec 2012 8:51 AM #3
only on event will make this span visible, but want to render it invisible initially itself.
Even on event how can we render the dom around it more efficiently .

The new Pink Daisy Lilly Pulitzer store in Downtown Bowling Green showed off some of its latest spring fashions to benefit the Symphony at WKU today.
For $25, guests enjoyed lunch and a fashion show, and all proceeds went back to the symphony.
The new Lilly Pulitzer store has been open for just four days, and store owner Dale Augenstein says showing the new clothes not only helps boost sales, but the arts community as well.
"We really enjoy working with groups like the symphony and any kind of fundraising projects that they can have. Today's a very wonderful day for us," he says.
"We're very excited today to have the Pink Daisy store here to host a fashion show to benefit the Symphony as one of our parties of note," says WKU Symphony Executive Director Jennifer Bryant.
Today's fashion show was one of many fundraisers the Symphony holds throughout the year.
The money raised helps the symphony put on five concerts throughout the year.

What are the criteria that I should worry about when buying energy bars ?
What are the ingredients to avoid and those to look for ?
Here are a few things I look for:
I'm not aware of one single bar that matches all of these requirements. Cliff Bars don't freeze or melt easily, but they are mostly made of highly processed food goop. Fruit-and-nut bars are highly palatable, but don't have all that much protein.
Its not a bar, but jerky is easy to carry and store, and can also be a good option for protein sometimes.
Honestly, I think taste is most important. There have been times before where eating hardly anything but energy bars for a few days makes starving to death seem appealing.
Jerky is pretty good, as DavidR mentioned, just don't ever bring that unless you have access to virtually unlimited water. Jerky is loaded with salt and your kidneys will be in turbo-mode when eating it.
Jerky is awesome, or Tonkabites, which is buffalo meat and cranberries. Some jerky brands have lower sodium and no nitrates. I also like those Babybell little gouda cheese things, high calorie and really satisfying. Or any cheese for that matter. Dense calories. Also nuts.com has sprouted nuts that are then dehydrated and spiced, so they taste good and are really easy to digest (unlike normal trailmixes that wreak havoc on my digestive system). Any of the above are good if you want to get away from sweets or high-carb food or are vegetarian.

Jessica Simpson: Accidental Fashion Mogul
Ruven Afanador for New York magazine
Jessica Simpson is fashion's newest billion dollar baby — but did she mean to be? Simpson will continue growing her empire this year by adding a ready-to-wear collection and a line of career separates, which are expected to push sales for the company to over a billion dollars. "I never thought I'd be some fashion mogul!," Simpson tells New York in the magazine's spring fashion issue, where the cover girl rocks huge, teased hair and bare shoulders. To put that number in context, the magazine explains that Simpson's company is doing roughly the same volume in sales as designers like Michael Kors. Simpson says that her brand is so popular because she makes the line for everyday women and keeps the focus away from herself. "What you really need is your basics for every type of person," she says. "When it comes to other celebrity brands, I think a lot of people do a great job, but it can't be all about them. Everybody doesn't want to just look like the celebrity, because they can't. They just want one element of that style." Her business manager, David Levin, puts the original idea behind her fashion lines a little more directly, telling New York, "A girl could go to the shopping mall with her mother and she'd have a great new outfit and still have some money left for lunch at McDonald's. She can look like Jessica Simpson, smell like Jessica Simpson, and she can afford it."

#3. Boris Weisfeiler
Who was he?
Boris Weisfeiler was a Soviet mathematician who fled to the United States in the '70s. We think he was kind of a mathematical Yakov Smirnoff.
In the math world he is known for the Weisfeiler-Leman Algorithm and Kac-Weisfeiler conjectures. We here at Cracked have more important and sexier things to do than to explain to you what these things mean, just assume that we'd all be dead if he hadn't figured these things out.
Anyway, sometime around Christmas 1985, Weisfeiler decided that it would fun to romp around Chile for awhile, which back then was run by the CIA-backed dictator Augusto Pinochet. During his rule, the country's major tourist attraction were the hours of fun deciding whether you wanted to be killed by guerrillas or the government. Like many people who lived in Chile at the time, Boris Weisfeiler disappeared.
Pinochet often posed as if being photographed for a rap album cover
When people started to notice that he was missing, the Chilean government immediately declared that he had drowned. They didn't have any evidence for this claim, but that's what's awesome about running a dictatorship: You can say pretty much whatever you want.
What They Say Happened:
In 1990 a Chilean informant said that Weisfeiler was abducted by the government when they suspected him of being a Russian spy. He was allegedly held prisoner in the Dignidad colony, a German colony that was run by a child molesting Nazi named Paul Schafer, which the Chilean secret police used to interrogate prisoners.
The Chilean governments since Pinochet have made some half-assed attempts to find Weisfeiler as one of the 1,000 or so other people who turned up missing during Pinochet's reign. They came up with a few people and then called it quits, not really wanting to follow a trail that may very well end at Nazi child molesters.
What he may look like today. Or not.
What We Think Happened:
Weisfeiler and the other 999 missing built an underground civilization to protect them from the race of child molesting Nazi's they believe took over the world. They live on to this day, spending their days battling off C.H.U.D and various British explorers who are trying to drill to the center of the Earth.
#2. The entire ship and crew of the USS Cyclops
Who were they?
They were the crew of the USS Cyclops, a bunch of rough and tumble badass Navy men who protected America from foreign enemies and mythical sea creatures. We think, that or they spent their time performing campy musicals. Not much is known about the crew, but we'll be optimistic about it.
The Cyclops was on its way back to Maryland in 1918 when it made an unexpected two-day stop in Barbados, they shipped off and all 306 crew members and the whole fucking ship were never seen again. To date it is the largest loss of life in a non-combat situation in Navy history. You can thank us when you've won $400 on Jeopardy.
What They Say Happened:
Did we mention that they were believed to have disappeared either in or near the Bermuda Triangle? So most people are working under the assumption they were sucked into another dimension or some shit.
What We Think Happened:
We're going to take it a step further, and say that with a name like the USS Cyclops and the Bermuda Triangle all coming together, we can only assume one thing: the wrath of Poseidon.
#1. Amelia Earhart
Who was she?
For those of you who crawl under your bed during Women's History Month (March, for those of you with misogynist calendars), Amelia Earhart was one of the most famous female pilots in the world and staunch advocate of women's rights. And without a doubt, no woman before or since has done a better job of disappearing without a trace.
Earhart was already famous for being the first woman to be flown across the Atlantic. She didn't actually do any flying, her job was to keep the flight log. Upon returning to America she became an instant celebrity, going on lecture tours and receiving various product endorsements, including Lucky Strike cigarettes. "After a long day of sitting in a plane, a woman needs to cool down with that fine flavor she knows and loves."
When she wasn't sitting in planes and hooking young girls on cigarettes, she took the time to break several aviation records on her own. Finally in 1937 she vowed to fly around the world, much to the chagrin of hot air balloon tycoons everywhere. After a shaky couple of starts and stops she (along with her co-pilot Fred Noonan) took off from Howland Island. The last anyone heard from either of them was a couple of broken radio transmissions. Contrary to what you'd think, the final transmission was not, "Oh, shiiiiiiit!!!!"
Seen here with Aero, the first dog to fly solo across the Pacific
What They Say Happened:
Since neither the plane nor the pilots were found, most experts assumed they crashed and sank. Other people figured she landed on an island some 300 miles from where she took off, spending her days befriending volleyballs and building coconut radios.
What We Think Happened:
Eaten by the Swiss Family Robinson.

Do-It-Yourself Plug WiresWritten by on April 19, 2011 Have a unique wiring problem in your race car? No problem, just build your own plug wire set
No two race cars are exactly the same. Sure you can purchase a rolling chassis from a builder that turns out 100 (mostly) identical cars a year. And you can use a body kit that uses sheetmetal stampings and bumper cover moldings that are all alike, but every team finishes the construction of their car with their own touches. Changes to the front clip, the way accessories are mounted to the engine, the header design, the way the steering shaft is mounted up, and many other factors can change the way you will need to route your plug wires.
So even though the major ignition companies offer a multitude of different plug wire kits designed to fit most engine configurations, there are still times when your particular situation requires a custom set of wires. Of course, the much more common scenario is when a racer suffers the misfortune of one or two wires coming in contact with a set of glowing headers and has them ruined. Instead of throwing away six good wires and starting over, you can purchase a do-it-yourself plug wire kit, build yourself just the wires you need, save some money, and have spares left over in case it happens again.
Typically, a do-it-yourself plug wire kit is boxed with the spark plug terminals and boots already attached to the wires. The wires are already cut to approximate lengths but are left long to allow for different routing options. Also included are loose terminals and boots for the end to be attached to the distributor. Usually, an extra length of wire and boots is included for the coil as well. When ordering your wires, you need to be able to specify whether you need straight or angled spark plug boots and the type of distributor you are working with. The best style of plug boot is usually determined by your cylinder heads and headers. Cylinder heads with straight-cut plug holes—which is what you will normally find in stock-style heads—will almost always require angled plug boots in order to avoid contact with the headers.
Which to Choose
Not all plug wires are created the same. Performance plug wires must exhibit both low resistance to make sure the maximum spark power gets to the plugs. They should also have good insulation, in terms of limiting EMI (electro magnetic interference) and protection from heat.
Most performance wires are built generally the same. At the core is a spiral-wound conductive wire. The spiral winding is important because that's what limits the EMI from screwing up electronics. Some may think this isn't an issue because EMI is normally associated with radio interference and other electronic glitches that are found on over-the-road automobiles. But EMI can also interfere with your ignition box and harm overall power. The tighter the spiral winding in the core, the greater protection from EMI you will have, but a tighter winding can also increase the electrical resistance of the wire (measured in ohms).
"If you have too much resistance, that's just going to go back into the coil," explains Scott Sowards, the shop foreman for Performance Distributors. "You can think of resistance in the plug wires just like water flowing through a pipe. If the resistance is too high, that's just like using a pipe that's too small for the amount of water you are trying to get through there. The water doesn't just go away; it backs up at the beginning of the pipe. It's the same way with electricity. If the wire is too restrictive, the electricity that the ignition produces that can't make its way down the wire to the plug in time doesn't just go away. Instead, it backs up in the coil.
"As a result, the electricity will back up in the coil and cause trouble. The coil will get excessively hot and reduce the operating life. The cap will also exhibit a lot more corrosion buildup."
As a general rule, Sowards recommends a wire with a rated resistance of 300 ohms or less per foot. If you want to check it yourself, you can hook both ends of your plug wire up to an ohm meter and gather your own readings. Also, because the resistance increases as the length of wire gets longer, it's always a good practice to keep your plug wires to the minimum useful length. Now, get out those cutters and get to work!

You can test fit all the wires at once or simply sort them according to length. The longest wires go to the plugs in the front of the block (obviously). Plug the boot over the plug in the proper cylinder and route the wire all the way to the proper distributor terminal with a little extra length to spare (just in case).You can cut the plug wires with standard wire cutters. Just make sure to leave 1/4- to 1/2-inch—depending on the brand and type of terminal—of the conductor wire to properly attach to the terminal.This is what MSD calls its "Dual Crimp" terminal. It has crimp points for both the main wire and also the core. Once the main wire is properly crimped, use a pair of needle nose pliers to crimp the core wire.MSD also includes this multi-purpose tool with its plug wire kits. You can position the wire in the "strip guide." Score the outer silicone coating with a razor blade. The tool doesn't allow you to cut all the way into the core wire, protecting it from damage. This also helps you expose the correct length of core wire to work with the terminals.Another option is this stripper/crimper tool also available from MSD. In this position, it will strip the insulation from the wire without damaging the core. The next slot up is used to crimp the terminal to the wire.By twisting the cut end of the wire in a counter-clockwise direction, it will pull off without damaging the core.This is the standard terminal that MSD also sends with the kit. It creates an electrical connection between the core wire and the terminal by stripping back the insulation and bending the core back against the outside of the insulation before crimping the terminal to the wire. Then the terminal is bent to fit the bootThe multi-tool also includes a crimper. Simply place the wire and terminal between the two halves and crimp the entire assembly in a bench vise like you see here.
The boot simply slides right over the terminal, just use caution not to bend the terminal or tear the silicone boot.MSD also includes this tool with numbered collars to help you quickly number the wires. Remember, the firing order for a Chevy small block is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 and the rotor turns clockwise in the cap. On a Ford the firing order is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 and the rotor turns counter-clockwise in the cap.

As per a recent question of mine, $\omega_1 \times \beta \mathbb{N}$ is not normal. I'm wondering whether there's some sort of "natural" condition that describes when a space has a normal product with $\beta \mathbb{N}$, analagous to Dowker's characterisation that $X$ is countably paracompact iff $X \times [0, 1]$ is normal.
The context here is that I'm looking for something I can weaken to something sensible, as I have a property implied by $X \times \beta \mathbb{N}$ being normal which I am "surprised" isn't an equivalence ($\omega_1$ has this property) and would like to see if I can show its equivalenct to some slightly weaker topological condition.

WHEELING - Potential future half-marathoners gathered Friday evening in downtown Wheeling to race their little hearts out during the Ogden Tiny Tot Trot.
The weekend's smallest road warriors, ages 5 years old and younger, raced 100 yards down 14th Street. The non-competitive event allowed children and their parents to enjoy the start of the Ogden Half Marathon Classic Run and Walk activities. As they crossed the finish line, each child was declared a winner and received a medal to proudly wear around their neck.
Wheeling resident Kristen Seamon, along with her husband Marc, brought her sons Brighton, 3, and Christopher, 7, to the race.

Children 5 years old and younger run down 14th Street Friday during the Ogden Tiny Tot Trot.
''It's a family tradition,'' Kristen Seamon said, noting Christopher was to compete later in the competitive Ogden Mile with her husband.
While waiting for the race to begin, 2-year-old Gavin Hibbits wanted to check out the Wheeling Police Department's motorcycles on patrol on 14th Street.
He was accompanied by his mother Brittney, father Frank and 6-month-old sister Harper, all of Bellaire.
''We're running the half marathon tomorrow and we thought we'd get (Gavin) involved,'' Brittney Hibbits said. ''I love it. They do a good job with all the different events. ... It brings the community together.''
Wheeling residents Adrianne and Jacob Manning both enjoy running and brought their children Elizabeth, 4, and Sarah, 2, to enjoy the Tot Trot. It was Elizabeth's third time running the race and her sister Sarah's first.
''It's a family-oriented event, and it's fun to come downtown. She gets to see her friends from school,'' Adrianne Manning said of Elizabeth.
Two years ago, Adrianne noted, she was pregnant with Sarah during the Tot Trot.
''Later that night I went to the hospital and had her,'' Manning said. ''Hopefully we'll get them into running and it will become a family thing.''
Martins Ferry resident Tabitha Conners brought her children Domenick, 2, and Kataleana, 1, and their grandmother Karen McCracken to the trot. It was the children's first time.
''I run the 5K, but this is the first time I've done something for them,'' Conners noted.
The Tot Trot was followed by the Ogden Fun Run - another non-competitive race for children 12 years old and younger. It covers the final mile of the Half Marathon course and begins atop Wheeling Hill.

According to the online dictionary (thefreedictionary.com), they can be used as synonyms, but it leads one to believe that horrify would be more related with something [intensely] shocking, whereas terrify would be more related with fright or intense fear.
Something that would horrify you would definitely scare you, but probably more along the lines of being overly grotesque — think of films like "Halloween", "Nightmare on Elm Street", "Friday the 13th", "Saw", etc. They scare you, but make use of a lot of gore (blood, body parts being removed, etc.); thus, the "horror" film category.
I would say something along the lines of "6th Sense" or "Signs" would be terrifying; not really a lot of gore, but the thought of coming face to face with a ghost or an alien would most likely scare you [fill you with terror] to the point where you couldn't move.
To add to Will's answer, I think there is an element of shock and surprise in 'horrify' which there isn't in 'terrify'.
I could quite easily continue to be terrified by something that terrified me yesterday, whereas I think that if I was horrified by something yesterday, today I'm more likely just disgusted.
As an interesting aside, note that
Horror is something that, on an elemental level, makes you feel absolute revulsion and rejection. I am horrified when I read about mothers who murdered their infants by microwaving them. My gut just clenches and turns on itself with the thought of what that child went through before it died.
Terror is something that invokes an instinctual 'fight or flight' response - someone sneaking up behind you and scaring you, the sensation of centipedes running over your skin - it makes your heart race and your adrenaline rush.
Even though Mary Shelley's monster terrorized both its creator, Dr Frankenstein, and the surrounding village, it is in the genre of Gothic horror. I think this is because the reader is horrified at Dr. Frankenstein's obsession with working with dead bodies and creating life from death.
This work makes you feel horror (revulsion) rather than terror (fear).
My professor of Shakespeare taught that terror makes you flee (people will run away from a terrorist bombing) while horror draws you in (people are transfixed by horror movies and deadly car wrecks). Terror = run; horror = stop and stare.

I would like to do some medium format work. What is a cheap but good camera to start with. I have several 120 cameras but which would be a good camera to use
I would say a TLR (Twin Reflex Camera) body is probably the most affordable medium format system available.
You can find a Rolleiflex and Seagull Camera bodies for under $300 USD.
Check out the TLR tagged images from flickr.
I recommend a Kiev 60 (upgraded by http://araxfoto.com/). It is cheap compared to Mamiya and Hasselblad, etc. and yields excellent results.
For $250? I wish you luck, but I think you're in tough. Craigslist is a good place to start, though, but anything in that price range is likely to be a bit iffy. Don't forget that lenses would be your next stop and MF lenses can get expensive. I previously would have suggested digging up older Pentax 645 or 67 MF cameras, but with the arrival of the 645D, you may get the body, but the lens prices are going to jump and that will be where you really hit the cost.
You could try to find a Yashica-Mat 124 on Ebay or on the cheaper side, but maybe prettier (as in if it breaks you can use it to decorate your office desk), a Czech Flexaret.
