Update Bubble Count For Filtered Lists - jQuery Mobile
When using the Filtered List search (http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0/docs/lists/lists-search.html) and the Bubble Count (http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0/docs/lists/lists-count.html) in the jQuery Mobile interface the bubble count number doesn't auto-populate/auto-update. This is something you need to add yourself. It would seem to me that this should be simple enough to do myself and with a little event binding this can all be fixed.
jQuery Mobile Search Filter Bar - Programmatically Search
I ran across another issue when trying to filter a list using jQuery Mobile's Filtered List (http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0/docs/lists/lists-search.html) The functionality itself is really nice, jQuery framework does all the heavy lifting for you. All you need to do is create a <UL> or <OL> and add the attributes data-role="listview" data-filter="true" to the tag and your off. The problem I encountered, I wanted to programmatically execute the filter. On my page I had a number of re-populated search terms that I wanted to provide the users. Clicking on the button would pop the search string into the search input box. The problem was, adding the search string to the box wasn't enough. It required some event to trigger in order to filter the list down. After digging around and trial and error I found that a simple keyup event in the search box worked.
jQuery Mobile
I am starting to get my feet wet with jQuery Mobile and find the lack of documentation frustrating. I will be patient as I know that this is a new framework. But to help anyone running up against my frustration I will start posting issues and solutions that I have come accross.
SharePoint System Dialogs and Customized MasterPages
Anyone who has tried to brand and customize SharePoint know what kind of madness and headaches that go along with it. Just when you think that your masterpage looks good you click into a deep dark subpage that makes your layout look hideous. Although things were made easier in 2010, for some reason I could never get the modal dialog pages look quite right. I finally determined that I wanted to just have those look OTB. I still wanted the system pages to have the branding, i just wanted to remove my branding from the dialogs. so with a little jaavscript/jquery calls, viola. First off you need to have set your branded system master page up with the proper class="s4-notdlg". This will allow sharepoint to hide headers, footers, quicklaunch, etc. But this doesn't remove the margins, paddings, and special layouts that may throw off the dialog layout. Mine, for instance, looked like this...
Simple jQuery Content Rotator
jQuery to the rescue, again, to make my javascript coding life easy. What I needed was a simple text rotator. I went looking for some good examples of jQuery rotators and found a ton of great examples. Who knew it would be this easy?
Add Label To jQuery Slider Handle
While in process of using the jQuery UI Slider in creating an alpha slider for a rolodex interface I came across some desired UI enhancements. Instead of having a slider that was plain i want to add the current value of the slider to interface. A quick simple line to the slider function gave me my desired appearance.

Make IE scale images more smoothly
First off, I
hatereally dislike IE, although IE 8 is better. Secondly there are ways to overcome thehatedislike. Here is a nice explanation of fixing the img scaling issue in IE.http://joelonsoftware.com/items/2008/12/22.html
In short, add this to you site css file.
img { -ms-interpolation-mode:bicubic; }
Hide The Default SharePoint Content Libraries/Lists *HACK*
Recently for a client I created a custom Document Library that is specific to their organization. After creating it I wanted to hide the standard document library that comes with SharePoint. I don't want to delete it, just hide it so it can't be accidentally created. Here in lies my problem. I search high and low for a possible solution. While waiting to here back from the SharePoint blog team, I decided try and find a workaround. This is what I came up with.
I decided to look at the actually aspx page that you see when you select "Create" from the site content area. I thought maybe I can hide the fields as they are created on this page. The file is called "/_layouts/create.aspx" and can be found at "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS". If you go down to line 158 you can see the code setting a string variable to the list template name. I found gold. After this line is where I inserted my nasty little hack.
if ((strTemplateDisplayName == "Document Library") || (strTemplateDisplayName == "Translation Management Library"))
continue;This will hide the libraries from the view of the user. Just be aware that this might break if there is a Service Pack and/or Patch applied for SharePoint.
If you can shed some light on a better way please, let me know.

Terminal System Seven is a tactical strategy game inspired by a combination of 80's cyber-themes and programming. Taking place inside a virtual world, the game will feature customizable units and city-like levels.
1 comment by SpellingPhailer on Mar 27th, 2014
This post is decently long, and at the bottom of it you'll find us talking about the music in the game. In order to kill two birds with one stone, we recommend that you listen to the music we refer to in this post while reading!
We've been rebuilding a ton of things for the last few weeks. The turn system has been completely remade, it now supports playback which is pretty much needed for asynchronous network games. We've made some major changes as to how the game plays, so that strategic choices become more important and there'll be less cheesy plays compared to before. We'll go over all of these changes down below in more detail.
As I wrote earlier, many changes have been made to the gameplay. To keep this a simple read, here's a list:
Units can't move after attacking.
This was something that we wanted to avoid if possible, as we wanted to make the game as free as possible. Turns out though that it also made hit and run tactics so viable that having multiple batteries became ridiculously OP. Also, because of this, positioning becomes much more important, which makes the game more tactical overall.
Units now retaliate (If they have the same module that they were attacked with).
Just as the other item on this list, this feature makes positioning much more important. It also makes a big difference in how you choose what modules to use. Having two melee modules might give you a higher DPS, but it'll give you less possibility to retaliate than a unit with one melee mod and one ranged mod. It also makes countering units easier for similar reasons.
Viruses are now in the game.
…Not in a literal sense, of course. Viruses are used in combination with attacks to give debuffs to enemy units. Among these are; Restrictor, which does 1 damage for each step the unit takes, Disabler, which disables a random module (the affected mod changes each round) and Battery Drainer, which removes AP from the affected unit.
Servbots are also in the game.
And they're not the LEGO rip-offs seen in Megaman. These servbots will basically work the same way the avatars do (it can claim terminals, but can't attack). You will get a servbot when you claim a terminal, and if an opponent steals that terminal from you the servbot will die (and a new one will be spawned for the other player at that terminal). Servbot also serves as healers, at the end of each round they heal adjacent units. Fun fact: If an enemy is adjacent to a servbot when the round ends, they'll also get healed. So once again, positioning is key.
The levels are much bigger and more open.
This made the game waaaaay less cramped and made sneaking and flanking more of an option. Because there are less walls in the way, map control is much easier.
Speed of animations and movement has been increased.
The game feels much faster and less sluggish now, which actually had a much greater effect on how fun the game was than we at first expected.
And that's basically the jist of the changes in design. There's also a ton of minor changes that has been done, but they're not vital enough to be worth mentioning here.
Just like design, a lot of changes has been done in the graphics department. Animations have been tweaked in order to make them feel more powerful and responsive, and an entirely new unit has been created. Reading about graphics is not very interesting though, so I'll just show you what's new and what's changed:
The new ranged animation. The recoil is much harder, and the animation in general is tighter. I also added an outline to the box in the middle, so that it's more visible on the dark backgrounds that are in the game.
The idle animation for the new unit "Servbot".
The walking animation for the Servbot.
The design and graphics parts of this post go through much of what has been done programming-wise, but not everything, so here goes!
A lot of the programming that has been done during the last weeks has been refactoring the structure of the game in order to allow us to easily implement online multiplayer for the game. The support for the online multiplayer isn't far from done on the client side, the server isn't ready though. The online multiplayer is something we are going to focus on shortly.
We have plans to improve the lighting system in the near future as well, in order to provide more exact lighting and line of sight. This improvement will make it possible to hide around corners in order to flank unsuspecting units, further increasing the importance of well-planned tactics.
Playback has been added to the game. The playback system replays everything the opponent did during his/her turn. It only shows the actions performed by the opponent on things that are within your own units line of sight.
Our aim for the last week has been adding more visual feedback to the game that makes the game easier to understand. One of the things we've added to improve this is animations above units and terminals. There are now indicators above the terminals that indicate which player that is the owner of that terminal. We also have some awesome shaders that we've been experimenting with for the game. They aren't implemented yet, but they're written and just waiting for me to have enough time away from implementing new features in order to chuck them in there.
The music has been reworked from scratch. The first prototype of the music (which was posted in the very first post we made here on IndieDB) was over all very poorly produced and didn't really fit the game at all. The new music is quite different, and quite a bit longer. Because this is a slow game where people will look at the same screen for long periods, we need music that both fits the tempo of the game, and that is varied enough not to bore people. So far, the in-game music song is a bit over 17 minutes long. It will however get longer than that, and we plan on it to end it at around 1 hour.
The music this time around has focused on a Vangelis-like sound, while also taking inspiration from 90's DOS games, such as Turrican and Crusader: No Remorse. The music is in general far more old-school than it previously was, which fits better with the art style we're going for.
In case you didn't start listening to the song when you began reading this post, just scroll to the top and you'll find it there.
And that's pretty much all for today. Be sure to follow us if you want to keep updated with the game, and we'll see you next time!
Yes! But more multiplayer and less campaign (at least for now).

Remember Me
The momentum originating from the critical acclaim of Sound Team's most recent EP, Work, gives impetus to the band's rapidly approaching debut album Movie Monster. Fans and critics eagerly await the June 6th release, despite lingering uncertainty as many question if they can meet the amplified expectations created by Work's success. From recording a majority of the tracks in their own studio, Big Orange, to handling manufacturing and distribution, the Austin-based indie rockers are noted as much for their talent as for their self-reliance. After transitioning to a major label, Capitol Records, the band has a chance to completely focus on the music. Movie Monster was produced by the band alongside Michael McCarthy (Spoon, Trail of Dead), and drawing on numerous influences ranging from German synthesizer music to American folk has helped them create a record where each track has a distinct feel.
Sound Team's Movie Monster doesn't necessarily fit a genre; it is one of those refreshing records that can redefine and transcend multiple niches. By layering intense, trippy electric guitar riffs, airy keyboard melodies, and Matt Oliver's raspy vocals, the band seems to blend new-age, 70's psychedelic rock, and pop. Fans of The Walkmen, Hot Hot Heat, Arcade Fire, and Bloc Party will surely find Movie Monster a great addition to their collection. However, at some points, the music is evocative of The Strokes and even one of the pioneering Psychedelic Jazz Punk bands, Television. Sound Team could easily catch fire on the mainstream scene, but if not, this may go down as one of the year's best records that most people haven't heard.
JamBase | New York City Go See Live Music!
This album is epic. I was happy to see it reviewed on jambase. It is not similar to any jam music. On first listen it is different then most are used to. If you have an open mind that is into indie rock with a danceable psychedlic synth-pop happiness check it out. Also if you are into spoon or secret machines it is a must. I think they have a few mp3's on the homepage. You will not be sorry.
I managed to see these guys play earlier this year at the Mercury Lounge on the same bill as Apollo Sunshine. It was a good time and both the bands were mingling with crowd, it was pretty neat.
great album.. buy it.
Bought it the week it came out, which was like 2 months ago - LOVE IT!!!

This takes the cake
10:30 a.m. — 5400 block of Bay Shore Road. Theft. While a woman's daughter and brand new son-in-law were celebrating their vows by cutting their wedding cake, a low-life thief was busy swiping the woman's antique purse. The $2,400 Judith Leiber handbag was covered with precious stones on the handle and rhinestones on the body. Another purse belonging to a wedding guest was stolen and recovered at a woman's home in central Florida. The bride's mother suspects that woman took her purse as well.

FLOWERY BRANCH - These days, the game looks so much slower to Julio Jones.
FLOWERY BRANCH - Matt Ryan has received plenty of accolades for his mammoth passing numbers in the opening month of the season. Another came Wednesday, when the Atlanta Falcons quarterback was named NFC offensive player of the week.
FLOWERY BRANCH - The Falcons' defense was handed a new challenge on Monday as players returned from their long weekend: How to contain Teddy Bridgewater.
ATLANTA - Devin Hester gets a text every morning from Deion Sanders, usually with some sort of inspirational message.
ATLANTA - Devin Hester high-stepped into the NFL record book. Matt Ryan had as many touchdown passes as incompletions. Julio Jones made a spectacular over-the-shoulder catch tumbling into the end zone.
ATLANTA - The short week came at a good time for the Atlanta Falcons.
FLOWERY BRANCH - Falcons rookie left tackle Jake Matthews has returned to practice after missing last week's loss at Cincinnati with a sprained left ankle.
FLOWERY BRANCH - One week ago, Gabe Carimi was being groomed to be the Falcons' version of John Havlicek who could play backup roles across the offensive line.
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. - Before the Atlanta Falcons decided to sign Devin Hester, they wanted to make sure he wasn't content just returning kickoffs and punts.
FLOWERY BRANCH - Falcons receiver Julio Jones has waited 11 months to return from a broken right foot and regain his Pro Bowl form.
FLOWERY BRANCH - For Matt Ryan, there are none of those annoying questions about his playoff record.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith is waiting to select a backup quarterback.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville Jaguars had few, if any, concerns at center for a dozen years.
FLOWERY BRANCH - Steven Jackson practiced on Monday for the first time in almost a month, and Falcons coach Mike Smith said the running back is on schedule to be play in Atlanta's season opener against New Orleans.
ATLANTA - A healthy Julio Jones made a big difference for Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons' offense.
ATLANTA - Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn's second interview with the Falcons appears to have strengthened his chances of becoming Atlanta's next coach.
ATLANTA - The Atlanta Falcons' coach search could become a waiting game if their top candidate is Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
ATLANTA - With Rex Ryan no longer an option, three defensive coordinators, including Arizona's Todd Bowles, may lead the Atlanta Falcons' coach search.

1 Galactic Skeletor, hands down!
2 Gwildor. Ugh.
3 Same packaging. That, or start bagging them a la flea market sales- that oughtta free up more dough for sculpts and accessories...:shgrin:
Nope. Finish New Adventures, and we can talk...:shgrin:
New Adventures mini-comic Silver Sorceress, no question!:shgrin:
I'm strongly tempted to agree- I've never been quiet about my strong desire to see mini-comic Silver Sorceress get made, but will be ecstatic to see any of these entries, as long as we eventually get...
I'm not getting these, but if that ever changed, they'd need to come out of their packing.:shgrin:
I said yes- still no fan of the movie, but I'd definitely want some of the above-proposed weapons!:shgrin:
Here's my two cents- I subbed for 2014, and got all good figures (even Entrapta was without any hand issues).
Having said that, DR's overwhelmingly crappy customer service has me glad that I was...
Say what you will about this vision of loveliness- mine arrived just fine, and though her shield was warped, I have no complaints about this great figure- after a little hot water, it straightened...
I got mine through a member of the org, and I couldn't be happier with her! Looking forward to the last few PoP figures this year, or so!:shgrin:
Bottom line, he got a prototype figure, same as Mara, and needs to be included in any discussion of New Adventures in Classics. I'm looking to get the Silver Sorceress (mini-comic) in Classics, but...
I'd like a Gygor body on this character... it would effectively reflect the awesome power of the character!:shgrin:
I still want NA as some sort of subscription- for those of us who want them as much as I do, it would be really cool to see them get the attention they deserve!:shgrin:
Pieces, no doubt. So glad we finally got him!:shgrin:
My vote goes to Laser Light.
I'd like to see Perfuma, Mara and Dragstor, for sure.
I'd LOVE to see Staghorn in Classics. I hope we see him soon, along with all the rest of the NA crew!:shgrin:
...wow. I've been outta town for the holidays, so keep that in mind.
This is in answer to the original post: I'm all for MOTU Classics figures as a continuing line of action figures; your suggestion...
Thanks for the spotlight on this, Busta Toons!
From age two I was a reader, raised by readers who raised me on Robert E. Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs, among others, and grew up watching 60's and...
I love these bad guys!:shgrin:
Beast Man
Two Bad
These are my favorites!:shgrin:
Battle Armour He-Man
Ram Man
Snout Spout
I must also abstain, as I cannot bring myself to like these things, sorry...:shgrin:
Got all I wanted, except for the Battle Ram. Hopefully, soon...
Dear Scott,
Thank you for all that you brought to Classics during your tenure; as a vintage MOTU fan, from launch, it was a pleasure to see the spirit and dedication you brought to what we all...
It was the DC/MOTUC two-pack version! Funny little story...
My first MOTUC was a MOC Teela, from this out-of-the-way comic shop, and while I was waiting for her to arrive my mail, I buckled and...
I really like this figure!:shgrin:
It's okay. I'm very impressed with the figure, as well as the additional weapons- they really make the figure complete! I may decide to rename him at some point- I do have three of them, so some...
I'd love both of them as beasts. Having said that, if they want to offer Fisto and Jitsu with their respective mounts, it would be a fine way to give people a second shot at those figures....
I voted Teela. Man, was I glad to see a well-made, attractive female figure for this line- so glad they didn't stop there!
Although I sure do love the HAR-DE-HAR factor that comes in every box of Mo-Larr Flakes, I'm sold on Spector!:shgrin:
I want the unicorn!
Having removed the names of those already released as of 13 DEC 2014, I'd love to see all of these from the list, in order of those I'd like first:
New Adventures (mini-comic) Silver Sorceress...

Recent Bequia Reviews
The ultimate Caribbean Experience
My husband and I spent a week at the end of April at the Flamingo and Turtle Point Villas. It was our first visit to Bequia and the villas showcased Caribbean hospitality and service at its best. Every effort was made to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. The exquisite tropical decor of the villas set the tone at the outset and the breathtaking vistas of sun, sea and sky took our breath away. The beach, which is literally steps from the villas, is secluded and safe and the waters are pristine. A cup of Jamaican coffee in the early morning on the balcony watching the sea was the high point of each day.
The visits to town by water taxi provided a truly memorable experience and the relaxed atmosphere and excellent cuisine in the restaurants and cafes in the capital mirrored the quality of the food in the Villas. The lush vegetation and hills were the perfect backdrop for leisurely nature rambles.
The holiday was a real respite from the travails of everyday life and our very souls were rejuvenated. I would recommend these villas for the ultimate caribbean holiday.
Thank you Nina, Carmina and Jo for providing such wonderful customer service and a very memorable holiday. See you next year!
Cecile and Raddy
Gorgeous, Comfortable, Tranquil, & Convenient
This villa is everything the description says and more. Possibly the most relaxing vacation my husband & I have ever taken. This was our first trip to Bequia, and loved the island and its people. This villa is super spacious with wonderful views, privacy and everything you need to enjoy your stay. Conveniently close to Lower Bay Beach (which we had many times to ourselves), and within walking distance to Port Elizabeth (if you are healthy). Part of the walk is along the beach and a stone wall walk by restaurants and shops. We rented a car, but not sure if we would again. Taxis are abundant, however, be ready for an open air truck with canopy. Patrick, the villa's onsite manager and chef, is attentive, helpful, and an amazing chef. He cooked dinner for us 3 nights and they were all delicious. His wife, Miranda does the housecleaning, and she is sweet and the villa is spotless. Waking up to the ocean view in the master was amazing. There are so many seating areas that even if you had six staying you could have plenty of privacy or space to read, etc. All the baths are large and beautiful. Cannot say enough great things - cannot wait to go back and we will definitely rent this villa again. Alexandra (owner) was very prompt in responding throughout the rental process and is an excellent communicator. You will absolutely fall in love with villa and its location!
Sugar Apple Inn a little pearl!
From the moment we went trough the gate of the SAI we had the feeling that there was no need to make a fuss about anything no more.We entered a little paradise.
The temperature, the fabulous view of the surrounding mountains, the view of the Atlantic, the adorable gardenwithe the swimmingpool and the patio.
We must not forget the terrible friendly help and advices from the people who work at the Sugar Apple Inn.
We had a modern and roomy appartment.
The bedroom - nice colored and decorated tastfully – was provided from a musquitonet, tv, internet,airco, a large bed,......perfect.
The kitchen was very spacy and had everything we needed to prepare our own meals.
Everything was very clean and the furniture was tastfully choosen.
Only the kitchen could need some renovation.
The garden with all the fruittrees and flowers gave access to a path to go to the beach of Friendshipbay. White sand and blue water just in a few minutes walking from the appartment.
The location from the SAI was very good. We had enough privacy and to walk (and come back) to the little harbor with his stores and little markets took only one hour.With the car it took about 1à minutes to get there.

IronStylus, about Evelynn, look at this: http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com....php?t=4024620
@Stylus, Are there any plans to expand on champion auto-attack animations in the future? Most VUs and newer skins seem to have this theme of "flowing swings" which generally limits them to two visually differing attacks, and a third for criticals. This is especially dull on melee champions as we can constantly rely on the left-right-left-right motions (see: Master Yi, Legendary Kayle, Sejuani, Garen) while ranged champions are generally restricted to a single auto-attack animation with only a projectile particle mod for criticals.
Neo Cyrus
Super Explosion
Hi Mighty Parrot Lord (of Doom?). I reallllly love Quinn (Gameplay-wise, art-wise and character-wise), and I know that, as planned, you are going to change her theme with her eventual, future VU.. I get that she needs a stronger, "hero of Demacia" theme, but please, don't touch her character too much or the idea of her theme. I know and want that she can and will be awesome as much as you do, but just don't touch her theme and charcter too much. (P.S: I really love your - IronStylus and the Art Team's- awesome and inspiring work and I'm really looking forward to see what do you guys got for us in 2014.)
Anything about an Akali visual upgrade?
Gear Kitty
@IronStylus I... I have mixed, if slightly favoring, feelings on the TU/VU/RW/RL's we've seen recently (since Karma/Trundle), which leaves me anticipating, if slightly dreading, future ones. Karma.... I like her new kit, I miss her fans. I never played her before the rework,and I've only played her once since (on an ARAM no less, and hated it the entire time). But as a support main I am considering putting her on my bench. Of course, this is after adding Support Nautilus to my roster, but the current state of support is not your department. She looks alright in game, but her new splash barely looks like it. Could be the angle, could be the general flow of the splash, but I do know a decent portion of it is that the splash has made me think New!Karma is blind and almost whitewashed her design. In game you can clearly tell that is not the case. I love the new Trundle. I think you guys hit all the marks with him. His new model and fx are amazing, his new lore actually ties him in with the rest of Runeterra in general, and he just generally feels like a more complete champion. Sejuani feels better in everyway, and is one of the few champs I feel comfortable jungling with, and I actually saw some great use out of her going support before this pre-season. Yi, visually during a hectic game, I cannot tell a difference between old version and new. I like the new kit though, not as someone who plays him, because I don't, but because it helps solidify his design and theme. Garen I am miffed about. My friends have bigger gripes, but I honestly can't understand why he no longer punches when AA'ing. "I like it this way, it feels more realistic", was what we were told, but to be frank, that's Non-milkable Bovine Excrement. "Oh, but now he looks more powerful when he swings his sword", some might say. But which are you more scared of: a guy who swings a huge sword like a club, or a guy who does the same thing, and then follows it up with a punch that hurts just as much? Rammus. TU. Ok. Sivir is my current non-gameplay gripe with the game right now. When I first saw her new model in a viewer, I thought it was just normally bad. High boots and loincloth? Check. Chest wrap that's only there for boobs? Check. Thick scarf that divides her head from the rest of her frame? Check. But seeing it in actual gameplay brings it all together into at least a mildly satisfying look. Her splash on the other hand, as I have said elsewhere, IMHO the worst piece of art to come out of Riot Games, from splashes to models to cinematics and webpage images. What's wrong with it has already been listed and discussed before. I will say that I recite Mushu's "dishonor lines" whenever I play as/with/against her. No matter how polished it looks, a turd is still a turd. Nasus... what to say about him? He needed the VU, and you couldn't get his original VA for it cause he passed on. I think you guys handled it well, and I think the new voice fits his theme better, and the Infernal skin's lines feel so... powerful. Nasus is a god, and he sounds like a powerful, not just wise, one now. I just hope that with the Sion relaunch, you don't forget, and we don't lose, the hidden secret that he most likely is Darius's and Draven's father. That's honestly want I want to be kept the most. Everything else would be gravy.
Any news on cho? I've always been of the opinion that riot could do alot of cool things with a cho VU(for example changing more than just his size after each stack of feast). As it stands he looks way less intimating than he should be. Also, who made the decision to give udyr the spirit skin? Why was that skin not just turned into his base skin as part of a relaunch VU?

India is also an emerging and growing market in terms of business for us," Singer told IANS over phone from Seoul, South Korea. {nl}"I'd also like the Indian audience to know that 'Valkyrie' is a true and extraordinary story. It's an edge-of-the-seat assassination thriller and is the story of a neglected event in time," added the director who is also contemplating visiting Japan and China as a part of the promotional tour.
The daughter of Count Stauffenberg, the German hero played by Tom Cruise in the film "Valkyrie," has praised the movie and Germany's culture deputy has called it a success.

"This is not a loud film and I thought it was very subtly played in many parts.

Can´t detect headset
I have a problem with my headset, I plug my headet in yet I cannot see it in playback devices and cannot get them to work. It connects with a green and a pink pin (I'm not sure what they're called, I hope you know what i mean). But my speakers do actually work fine. Please help me! I'm desperate at the moment. |
My System Specs |
20 Nov 2009 | #2 |
Welcome to seven forums lazor18. The green is line out sound, Pink is your microphone. Are you using onboard sound or an addon sound card? It would also help if you'd fillin your system specs. Under user Cp (top of page) go to edit system specs. This will help to know what your hardware is.
Where are you plugging into? The same port as your speakers or on the front panel? |

Some HD audio driver suites install a Control Panel Applet you may need to tweak to make the front audio ports behave in the fashion you would like them to

I filled in most of my hardware now, what is left empty i couldn't find on my specifications, also my speakers are connected in the front panel by USB, I can connect my headset both in the front panel or in the back but it doesn't matter they don't work either way. Thanks.

21 Nov 2009 | #5 |
USB speakers, that's probably the problem right there. USB audio devices use their own driver completely separate from a sound card (whether onboard or a card).
Did you install the the driver for the onboard audio? You will also need to open the Windows Playback properties and switch the default playback device from the USB speakers to the onboard for the headphones to work. |

Not sure what the "unknown device" is, but you haven't installed the drivers for your onboard audio (Via VT1708B). You can get the driver for it from here,
ASUSTeK Computer Inc. And headphones plugged into a sound card will never show up in Device Manager, you need to look here, to see it (assuming your sound card supports jack detection and will actually show it as headphones). |

BJP Lok Sabha candidate and former Army Chief Gen VK Singh today slammed Defence Ministry`s decision to go ahead with the process of appointing the next Army Chief, saying it is "ethically" wrong and would make the present chief "ineffective".
The dust has hardly settled after former Army Chief Gen VK Singh`s court battle with the Government when another General is planning to move court to seek elevation as an Army Commander from June 1.
A joint media briefing by Anna Hazare and former Army chief Gen VK Singh here on Monday indicated the latter has replaced Arvind Kejriwal in the social activist`s scheme of things.
A Delhi court dismissed the plea of Lt Gen (Retd) Tejinder Singh seeking cancellation of bail granted to former Army Chief Gen VK Singh.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Tuesday refrained from the rows over Army chief Gen VK Singh, saying: "Sometimes silence is golden."
CBI sources said they will analyse any additional information given by the Chief during the interview to the private TV channel.
The CBI has sought certain clarifications from Army Chief Gen VK Singh with regard to the bribery allegation levelled against Lt Gen (Retd) Tejinder Singh in connection with a truck deal.
Seven years before the issue rocked the country, the Defence Ministry had gone into the procurement of Tatra trucks through an intermediary company and not original manufacturers and had closed the matter.
In a shocking disclosure the dead body of Deputy Director of Defence Ministry and his wife was recovered on Friday here, according to news reports.
Backing the Army Chief in his ongoing tussle with the government, former Navy Chief Admiral L N Ramdas on Thursday rubbished the demand for sacking Gen VK Singh.
Congress on Thursday bluntly told Gen V K Singh that its patience should not be viewed as its weakness.
CPI wanted to know why Army chief Gen VK Singh did not go public before with his allegation that he was offered a hefty bribe by an equipment lobbyist and is saying it now.
Army chief Gen VK Singh, whose date of birth was mired in a huge controversy, has alleged that a lot of money was spent by people within the force to get a false birth certificate.
Army Chief Gen VK Singh, who lost his battle with the Defence Ministry on the age row, feels the SC has "not effectively" closed the issue but ruled out his resignation.
Congress on Friday expressed happiness over the resolution of Army Chief Gen VK Singh`s age row.
The letter was issued to the AG`s branch last week to correct its record and show May 10, 1950 as the date of birth of Gen Singh, sources said.
Gen Singh said he had tackled the issue in "organisational interest" but remained evasive on whether he would accept the government`s decision according to which he will have to retire on May 31 this year.

Zephyrhills Things to Do
A train used to go through Zephyrhills right along South Avenue. All that there is left now is the depot, a hundred feet of track and a few railroad cars. So being the rail buffs that we are we just had to stop and see.
Inside the museum depot there are exhibits of train artifacts from the high point of the local train era. There is a mini-train set that operates (little transformers for kids to play with and switches to change lights). A diorama shows the extent of the regions train usage. There is a small gift shop. And a back room with memoribilia about Zephyrhills' important citizens.
There is another office which was closed the day that we went, which houses the genealogy information for Dade County. So if you have some ancestry here, that office could help you.
Outside there was a real rail car that you could enter and investigate. There was one other car that they had off limits (not sure why).Related to:- Historical Travel

Zephyrhills Restaurants
The price was right (two pizzas for $15; $14 for one $1 for second) but the pizzas themselves were just so-so. The sauce was a bit spicier than I like, and the crust was two thin and floppy for me. There was plenty of cheese and not much oil so that part was good. Overall I rate their pizzas as "okay" to "not bad".
The shop was busy and clean and we got waited on right away at the counter.
The menu had (besides all types of pizzas) wings, breadsticks, sweet rolls, chicken fingers and beverages. So there was plenty of finger foods to pacify the hungriest appetite.
I'd stop there again on our next trip because the people were really nice but I would try the wings or chicken fingers.Related to:- Road Trip

Zephyrhills Warnings and Dangers
Zephyrhills is a fairly safe place to visit. The crime statistics report puts the area at about average for crime risk. The only outstanding crimes were ones of rape and assault and they were just slightly above average.
I was amazed that Zephyrhills, FL had so many registered sex offenders for so small a population. The chances that you will see one walking around the area is 1 in 100.
That is even worse than large cities like Jacksonville.
for more information about this situation, see this website:
We had no problems in Zephyrhills and we were in many different parts of the city. But at night we stayed in a gated community well away from the center of town. I do not know how the place is late at night. I think if you use common precautions (lock doors, stay away from unfamiliar places late at night), then you should have a safe and happy visit as we did.Related to:- Women's Travel

From altitude we saw nothing but RV Parks as far as the eye could see. Inhabiting these RV Parks are retired folks. We almost had 5 accidents in the parking lot of a restaurant because of all of the older folks driving huge cars trying to make the early bird special!
Don't Forget Insurance
If your current health insurance doesn't cover you while your abroad, you should consider getting international travel insurance just in case something should go wrong.
Zephyrhills Off The Beaten Path
At the Palm Harbor Homes factory for building mobile homes we got the factory tour.
They sit you down as a group with a company representative and you fill out a form that basically wants to find out if you are interested in buying a home. (If you answer "yes, I am interested" then you will be spotlighted by the representative during the tour). Then you get to view a 15 minute video on the mobile home process and how good these homes are (they do have free popcorn.... really). Then you walk through the manufacturing plant and see all the steps used to put together the parts that become prefab walls and fixtures. They have about 20 people working on different phases and items of each prefab section.
Then the tour goes to an overhead balcony where you see the prefab sections being joined into the final product. The tour is about an hour and (I thought) very interesting.
location is: 605 South Frontage Road, Plant City, FL (Plant City is an industrial suburb 10 miles south of Zephyrhills at junction of route 39 and I-4)Related to:- Road Trip
Zephyrhills Favorites
Favorite thing: "Tandem jumping has been around for 18-20 years now. It is about the EASIEST way to get into skydiving. After about 30 minutes of training, you will climb into our turbine aircraft for about a 20 minute ride to altitude.
From 13500' (4150m), wearing a harness that is connected to the Tandem Master, you will jump and accelerate to 120MPH (200Kph) and freefall for about 60 seconds. At about 5000', we will open the parachute, get you settled in the harness, and then you can assist us in steering the parachute during the 5-7 minute ride down. During that time you will get to practice the landing, have yourself a great roller coaster ride (if you like that), and then land on the dropzone with your video person waiting to film it all. "

Editorial Comment — December 2014
Whats In a Label ?
Coming soon, perhaps, to a commissary shelf near you: Generics, No Frills, Store Brands, Private Labels, and just in case the Pentagon has forgotten, the Defense Commissary Agencys (DeCA) very own Commissary Value Brands.
As far as the statutes affecting commissaries are concerned, something new has been introduced to the equation. The just-passed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) will give the Secretary of Defense and by extension DeCA the green light to procure any commercial item (including generic items) for resale in, at, or by commissary stores. As with other resale stocks, it gives DeCA the latitude to do this using procedures other than competitive procedures.
Putting aside the fact that competition for generic items was given the old heave-ho from the get-go, in the same legislation Congress requires a review from DoD by next September as to whether Private Label, among other things, is a good idea for commissary patrons or not.
We realize that there are distinctions between generics and private label items, but we are puzzled. In what logic does one authorize what will amount to staffing and therefore, spending or reallocation of tightly-focused resources a wild-card scheme that has the potential to undermine the entire commissary pricing and service structure, before figuring out whether it actually makes sense?
Apparently, the thinking again without much deep consideration of what does this all mean in the grand scheme of things? is that, one, patrons want it, and two, it will save DeCA money and therefore, go ahead and do it, and dont even bother to compete it.
Of course, whether or not this is true just isnt known. The facts are that, on one hand DeCA owes its present-day existence to national and name-brand manufacturers and suppliers who have supported commissaries with at cost price savings for longer than anyone can remember, and on the other hand, patrons have shown their desire to shop these at cost national brand merchandise stores.
A good part of a manufacturers ability to keep doing this relies on volume. If that volume is eroded at the margin by government-sponsored support of a private label program, then you effectively take away the margin from the name-brand suppliers and their shelf space, sales, and ability to provide reasonably priced products and compelling promotions.
Another casualty of shifting business to a Private Label program would be shelf-stocking. Damage the business proposition for national brands and they in turn can no longer provide the service without passing cost onto the customer, not to mention the extra penalty of their loss of economies of scale and shelf space and volume. Its one of the eight wonders of the world: industry provides name brands in DeCA stores with the understanding that aside from categories stocked by members of NIB and NISH industry will provide the personnel to stock the shelves and manage portions of inventory.
The second fact that nobody calling for a DeCA Store Brand/Private Label wants to think about, is that DeCA would have to staff and administer this program, at the very least to make sure that it is carried out properly and effectively. Add another cost in the DeCA expenditures column. That is what we call headed in the wrong direction.
A third fact that may have been overlooked is that DeCA has recently reinvigorated with cooperation from industry its own surrogate for a Store Brand/Private Label program, the Commissary Value Brands program. Known long ago as the Value Brand Items (VBI) program, it has not had much hype in the last decade or so. And retail is a distracting affair where these types of products tend to be the least advertised, least highlighted, least prominently placed in order to keep the costs as low as possible. Placement is marketing, which has built-in costs, and is an arrangement negotiated between the vendor and DeCA for patron savings. In a price-sensitive area, low cost is often the be-all, end-all; as a result, the old programs perception was short-changed.
So now, prodded by talk of Private Label perhaps, the program is being merchandised more visibly by DeCA and industry. And the genius of it is that it provides equal to or better than Store Brand/Private Label prices using household name brands.
So why push Store Brands to the detriment of a system that works? Either to torpedo it which is unthinkable or, as a means toward provoking improvement in the existing program (its interesting that this appears to already have been the result); or, well, as they say, ignorance is bliss. But just be careful of the ignorance part its well known that a fool and his money are soon parted.
We say to DoD you have a system that works, at least when its not being undermined by furloughs, shutdowns and under-staffing, and you already have a revamped Commissary Value Brand program using national brands to achieve a Private Label effect at the best prices going: dont spoil a good thing.
