Thank You, yes i use cabel ties to keep rubber in place, for control i use focus ring, the movements, tilting is smoot enough end easy to control.... Like on the picture nr3 lens is disconnect from bayonet only, rest of the lens is still there, that why i still got focusing working. For bayonet you can use lens adapter ect. dependent of camera you use.
ReplyDeleteVery cool, but i can't understand how to build it. I hope you will write some new instructions ;)
The money-less guys will thank you :Dbrilliant brilliant work - excellent DIY lens-ing - also love the colours of your photos - what are your secrets...?
www.flickr.com/photos/e-jaysamazing DIY. 2 questions:
1. Can you still use the focus ring for focusing?
2. How much shift/tilt and rotate can the rubber handle without totally distorting the view?Technically, you've made more of a lensbaby than a tilt-shift lens. Tilt shifts are just the big trend right now for creating the same effect you can do way cheaper with a lensbaby.
A true tilt-shift lens is meant for correcting verticals in architectural photography. And this lens doesn't actually shift at all. Only tilts.
Cool idea though.The hard part for me has been find the spherical piece, something I can sacrifice to make this work. I have the lens (an old Minolta 50mm normal lens) disassembled. I have tried a couple of things where you use the glove (bicycle inner tubes, punctured ones are free at any bike shop, plumbing fittings which seem to be a little too stiff and inflexible). I'll keep looking around.
ReplyDeleteGood post.I really like your post.I like the way you describing this post.Its really informative for the followers.Thanks for sharing this awesome post.
Cool Air Miami Air Duct CleaningThe type of gloves I'm describing are the cheap cotton gloves widely available at discount stores.

Hello again, friends, and welcome back to 8 Exposures, our popular instant film Q&A series. This week, we are happy to bring you marketing director and photographer Tim Logan…
1) What kind of Polaroid camera(s) do you use?
Most of the time I use an SX-70 or SX-70 sonar. I have a variety of other Polaroid cameras and backs as well, though, and will often use one of those. It's not uncommon to see me out with a Polaroid Spectra, Polaroid 250 or my Graflex Crown Graphic with a Polaroid 545 or 550 back. I enjoy shooting as many instant film formats as I can get my hands on so I tend to have a lot of different cameras with me at any given time.
2) Why do you like instant photography?
As strange as it may sound, one of the biggest reasons I enjoy instant photography is because of what it has taught me – Patience. Whether you are shooting with Impossible's films or some the remaining expired Polaroid stock you really need to be much more mindful of how you work. It's become very easy to shoot in excess because of digital technology, but, because I don't want to waste a single frame of instant film I've really learned to slow down and take more into consideration before I release the shutter. Ultimately, I think that lesson has made me a better photographer regardless of the format I'm shooting.

The new task for the first-year Red Devilette coach is not allowing her squad to get too caught up in the moment when it heads to second-seeded Greene County on Wednesday for a 5 p.m. showdown in the opening round of the Class AA state playoffs.
"I think they're still, I guess the word may be surreal. Some of them still have that look like, 'Whoa.' I literally showed them the bracket [Monday]. There's only 32 teams left in double-A. They still seem shocked," Stephens said. "It hasn't sunk in yet. We started out with nine teams in the region and there's only four still playing. So imagine that times eight? We're just trying to get it in their heads that you've got a good opportunity, so take advantage of it."
The Red Devilettes (15-9) actually punched their postseason ticket last Thursday evening behind a 56-43 quarterfinal win over Spencer in the Region 5-AA Tournament, then suffered a semifinal setback to Bremen and rebounded with a 39-36 triumph over Manchester in the third-place game on Saturday in Columbus to earn the No. 3 seed.
The Red Devilettes' six seniors — Jacole Stephens, Whitney McClure, Lyric Maze, Trinity Strickland, Jena Lane and Sydney Boddie — were all seventh-graders the last time Bowdon was in the state playoffs, and it's something Remonica Stephens feels is one knock that's going against her ball club, in terms of postseason experience.
"I told them, 'For one, there's no expectations for y'all. Everybody is shocked that you're there. Two, because you haven't been there, it is a disadvantage.' You know, understanding the whole scene," Remonica Stephens said.
Even something as trivial as scheduling has been somewhat of an issue for the Red Devilette players to adjust to this week, assuming they would play on Tuesday and coming to find out the game got pushed back to Wednesday.
"Saturday night when we got home, the understanding was that we would play on Tuesday. But [Greene County's] boys are hosting, too, and they want to play Wednesday. The girls were kind of like, 'What?' So I think that kind of was another shocking thing to them. So it's just those little things right now that we've got to get in their head," Remonica Stephens said. "For us, having to play three days last week, the physical break is actually good."
As far as the matchup itself, the Lady Tigers (11-8) are coming off a 76-51 loss to Rabun County in the Region 8-AA championship, and Remonica Stephens said Greene County will present a physical challenge come Wednesday.
"They're athletic, they rebound, they crash the boards and they all seem like nice-sized girls. There's no itty-bitty girls on the floor. I mean, they're all 5-8, 5-9. Like I told the girls, it's going to be physical," Remonica Stephens said. "If we can get through that and just play solid basketball, we'll be fine."
And for a senior class that has been craving a chance to play in the postseason, that time has finally come. Remonica Stephens said now it's a matter of making the most of that opportunity.
"I told the seniors that you won't have this opportunity again — no matter what you do. And I keep telling these underclassmen, you won't have these girls again — no matter what happens. So we're all trying to push in that right direction," Remonica Stephens said.

The World Cultures and Languages (WC&L) Program offers our students the expertise and the knowledge that specialists in culture, linguistics, and literature can bring. The program offers quality instruction that reflects the increasingly interdependent and global nature of culture, knowledge and the world in the 21st century, as well as the growing inter-connectedness of peoples and places in the local, regional, national, and global communities. Students are required to demonstrate competence in at least one language. Through interactive coursework at home and/or abroad, reflective papers, research, travel and presentations, the program enables students:
The inherent multidisciplinary nature of culture and language studies as well as the geographic variety of areas to be covered requires that the faculty work with other programs as well as similar programs in the neighboring universities.
The two major themes of the World Languages and Cultures program are:
Students fulfilling the requirement for a Major in Hispanic Studies will be able to obtain certification to teach at the primary and secondary level, by following the K-12 program offered in cooperation with the Education Program.
WC&L students obtain a strong grounding in global affairs which teaches them how to engage in problem-solving across boundaries and cultures, and how to critically evaluate information from a comparative perspective. This training also involves learning how to become an effective communicator which includes learning how to argue and defend complex views before a variety of global audiences. Well developed global competency is of use to numerous companies and organizations. A WC&L major also offers excellent preparation for graduate school, law school, and careers in various global organizations:

Hi, All-
I'm an OBODie (just made Ovate- yay!) and Pagan.
I'm asking Pagans in the US to join me in a grassroots initiative I designed to communicate Pagan worldviews, choices, and needs related to health care to the American Public Health Association this fall at their annual conference. The APHA had a call for papers dealing with Pagan views of health earlier this year, seeking to better understand how to serve the Pagan population (along with several other minority religious groups). As both a Pagan and cultural anthropologist, I felt it was vitally important that we help policy-makers and service providers understand our needs and beliefs. This will help us to meet the health care needs of our community and build public understanding of our religious and spiritual traditions.
I designed the Pagan Health Survey to help people better understand us and our views on health. The results will be combined with what I have gained by being within the Pagan community and sitting in on healing panel discussions, workshops, and so forth, as well as interviews with Pagan clergy and health care practitioners. This research is being funded through my grassroots nonprofit, TriWinds Institute (www.triwindsinstitute.org) through donations.
My goal is to have a statistically significant sample of the Pagan population, which given the 2001 ARIS study, is approximately 3,000 people (10% of the self-reporting Pagan population). I am trying to gain this sample in a very short timeline- approximately two months- which affords a snapshot into the Pagan community that is immediately relevant.
I am happy to answer any and all questions about the survey, its uses, and my own background. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
Please consider taking the survey and passing it on to your Pagan and Heathen friends.
The survey can be found online at: www.surveymonkey.com/s/paganhealthsurvey.
Bright Blessings,
Kimberly Hedrick, PhD

Hey All, use my Firewire email, [email protected] for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!
Interex87, did someone recommend the Aqualines to you? My initial thought is that they might not have enough drive for a SP's volume, buy maybe they will work better than I suspect on a 4'8". Let us know how they go. You will LOVE this board! The only problem is trying to get off it once in a while when the waves are a little bigger. You won't want to.
no i just wanted to try the aqualines i hope it goes well but will let you guys know.

In his first general audience after taking office in 2005, he told the crowds gathered in St. Peter's Square that he wished to follow in the steps of Benedict XV, who led the church through the turbulent years of the First World War.
"He was a true and courageous prophet of peace who struggled strenuously and bravely, first to avoid the drama of war and then to limit its terrible consequences," Benedict XVI said. "In his footsteps I place my ministry, in the service of reconciliation and harmony between peoples."
The choice also evoked St. Benedict, founder of the Benedictine order of monks, who helped spread Christianity throughout Europe and was particularly venerated in Ratzinger's homeland, Germany.
For the early popes, the choice of a name wasn't an issue. It wasn't until the end of the 10th Century that the head of the church started taking a different name to the one he was born with, said Melloni.
But since then only one, Adrian VI in the 16th Century, has kept his baptismal name.
Some were monks from countries other than Italy who wanted to create a link through their names to the great saints of Rome. This was the start of the long list of popes named Leo, Gregory and Benedict, said Melloni.
In fact, he added, the practice can be seen as typical of a dynasty without sons and daughters -- creating a sense of succession and a link to the earliest names in the church.
In the 20th Century, John Paul I was the first to create a composite name, in tribute to the two popes who had led the church through the Second Vatican Council, which closed under Paul VI following John XXIII's death.
He died barely more than a month later, putting him among the shortest-lived of popes.
John Paul II, born Karol Wojtyla in Poland -- making him the first non-Italian pope since the 16th Century -- in turn wanted to show homage to that brief pontificate through carrying on the name, said Melloni.

How's everyone doing for this tournament then? I was going to take my Ultramarines for it but am seriously considering my Necrons - It's a hard decision to make!
I best get cracking though since my Necron army needs 4 Heavy Destroyers painted, two Annhilation Barges assembled and painted, a Command Barge assembled and painted, two Wraiths' paint jobs finished, 3 Immortals painted and a Cryptek. Not to mention basing the army too.
Hmm, that's just my 1500pts list! Whatever I add to make it the full points value will probably also need to be bought and painted too! Looks like I need to take my Ultramarines after all.

The Argentine forward has been scoring almost at will for Barcelona in the Spanish league and Champions League, and he added two more in Saturday's 5-0 victory at Rayo Vallecano.
"Shame on Messi," said Filip Bondy, a panelist who writes for the Daily News in New York. "He scored only twice. At this rate, he'll only be the best player in the world ... forever."
Messi received 140 points of a possible 180, 29 points ahead of Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo with 111. Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao was third with 79 points.
The top three all play in Spain. Manchester United striker Robin van Persie was fourth, followed by Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The 18-member panel selected Barcelona as the team of the week. Barca was 21 points ahead of Spanish rival Atletico Madrid. Manchester United was in third place after beating Chelsea 3-2 on Sunday in the Premier League.
Each panelist picks 10 teams and players, with 10 points for first place and one for 10th. The weekly survey includes journalists from Europe, South America, North America and Asia.
"It was an unforgettable week for Borussia Dortmund after a thrilling victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League, with Mario Gotze showing his talent at the highest level and capable of scoring in a Bundesliga 2-0 away win at Freiburg," said Aurelio Capaldi, who works for Rai in Italy.
Gotze crept into 10th place in the poll, in which all are strikers or attacking midfielders.
Although the top 10 players were all based in Europe, James Porteous of the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post gave an honorable mention to China striker Gao Lin. The Guangzhou Evergrande forward scored a last-minute goal to help his team defend its Chinese league title, giving veteran coach Marcello Lippi his first club championship outside Italy.

Board releases its last offer
Teachers want 6 percent raise; board wants no raise at all
DIXON – Teachers are asking for a 6 percent salary increase every year for 5 years, according to a final offer released Thursday by the Dixon School Board.
The board, however, is proposing no salary increase and wants to increase the amount teachers pay for health insurance.
The Dixon Education Association estimate its demands, which include changes to special education, pension, tuition reimbursement and sick days, would cost the district about $2 million a year over the life of a 5-year contract. The board contends the demands would cost about $6.3 million a year.

Share this story email Share this story «Previous 1 of 5 Photos Next » Read the story «Previous Next » « » Mayan 'Doomsday' Arrives Without Much Doom A druid watches the sunrise by the ancient stone circle of Stonehenge, in southern England, as access to the site is given to druids, New Age followers and members of the public on the annual Winter Solstice, Friday, Dec. 21, 2012. Doomsday hour is here and so still are we. According to legend, the ancient Mayans' long-count calendar ends at midnight Thursday, ushering in the end of the world. Didn't happen. "This is not the end of the world. This is the beginning of the new world," Star Johnsen-Moser, an American seer, said at a gathering of hundreds of spiritualists at a convention center in the Yucatan city of Merida, an hour and a half from the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza.

Comments about MOUNTAIN MAMA Women's Fairview Wrap Jacket:
This is a cute style and the fabric is soft and comfortable. I bought a large, but it really just fits (and I am never more than a medium). The major complaint is the length of the coat. For a pregnant mom, it barely covers my stomach. Wish they made it just a bot longer then it would be perfect.

This is a nice jacket, but it's way too short. Doesn't cover my wife's belly. It would be fine after the baby is born, but she wanted something to wear now. Will be returning.

I love everything about this coat. Didn't want to spend a lot of money on something I could only wear for the next 2 months, so I bought this. I can already tell you I'll be wearing it after the baby and with the baby in his front carrier, all thanks to the adjustable ties. I spent more than what I would have if I'd bought from old navy, but I have the satisfaction of knowing this coat will last me longer. I can also wear this for another pregnancy, even if I'm not "super pregnant" in the dead of winter!

Is 'Sister Wives' Hiding The Disturbing Truth About Polygamy?
9/7/11 – Sam Brower
Despite the recent well-publicized and deeply disturbing child molestation trial of self-proclaimed polygamist prophet Warren Jeffs, TV reality show polygamist Kody Brown and his trendy wives and family seem to be everywhere these days. Their TV show, "Sister Wives," is a big hit….
For more than seven years, as a private investigator I have been investigating and researching similar polygamous societies, but mainly the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) and its outlaw prophet, Warren Jeffs, who is now serving a sentence of life plus twenty years in a Texas prison….
I can only hope and pray that the depravity of child abuse and the degradation of women and children to the status of chattel will never be thought of in such a callous manner as simply- unconventional yet relatable.
In my world, unconventional doesn't mean four mommies showing up for back-to-school night; the FLDS do not send their kids to public schools. If they're lucky, the children may receive the equivalent of an eighth grade education before being sent out to work on a construction job, or to become mothers themselves.
Admittance into the bride pool can begin within a few weeks after a child's twelfth birthday. "Mother" is the person who raises and nurtures you as a "daughter in Zion" over the course of those short formative years. She then takes you by the hand and places it in the hand of a man decades older, in an arranged "spiritual sexual union," alongside that man's several or many other "sister wives."

How far will one tank of fuel take you? Fuel economy enthusiasts John and Helen Taylor set off to find out.
Driving standard production model Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot SUVs, each equipped with 2.0 liter turbo diesel engines and loaded with luggage and two passengers, the husband and wife team set out to drive from London to Berlin. They made it … and kept going, without refueling.
The two achieved record SUV distance on a single tank of fuel, travelling a distance of 1,124 kilometers (698 miles), ending up in Poland. Their fuel consumption – 4.3L/100 km, or over 66 miles per Imperial gallon, which translates to 55 to 56 miles per U.S. gallon in each vehicle.
"We already knew that the Compass and Patriot were among the most economical of all SUVs, but we were amazed by the fuel economy that these two vehicles were capable of during this drive,." John Taylor said.
" We drive on normal roads at realistic speeds with two people and their luggage on board and the traffic and weather conditions weren't favorable at all – cold with many traffic jams," he said. "We used simple fuel economy driving techniques that any driver could replicate."
"This record achievement challenges the myth that all SUVs are gas guzzlers. We've proven in everyday driving conditions just how fuel efficient these two Jeep SUVs can be," Helen Taylor said.

I moved over from "Dual Booting Windows 7 and AV-Linux 5.0.3", Its working as a dual booting system
Now I need the sound to work so I can get on with my mixing down of my Music. Please if you can Help
My system: Asus p8z68deluxe/gen3 w/Intel i7 chip and 16gb of ram, also a wd sata drv 1tb and a dvd/bluray writer cd player and a nVidia GeForce560 GTX Ti 1040 Graphics Card using the HDMI for Video and Sound going thru my Pioneer Receiver for speakers.
Operating system: DualBoot; Windows 7 and AV-Linux 5.0.3, But the only way I could get av5 to boot off the CD or to Install on my hard drive was to enter this bit of code "pci=noacpi acpi=off"without the quotation marks, why? I would like to know, But it seems to work.
The Problem is av5, I have NO SOUND and av5 can't see the CD player, also av5 can't see my network printer HPOfficejet pro 8600 plus
Windows on thee other hand works great, and that's what my wife likes to use for her stuff. AV-Linux, well it runs?
I gave up my Apple and ProTools becauseI saw Ardour and liked what I saw. Can I Get This To Work?

yeah .. this is a very great problem .. I know it from my setup for the HTPC (Home theater PC) .. and that's why I would recommend you to search the xbmc (http://xbmc.org/) forums (http://forum.xbmc.org/) since it's a very common and often discussed problem there .. setting up ALSA for HDMI is real torture
The XBMC forum is very useful for every multimedia related software problem with windows and linux ...
Here one hint to get it very easy running with pulseaudio:

I have the exact same card. If you are using the proprietary nvidia driver, pulse is not installed, and you have the hdmi output as your only sound card, you will have 4 sound devices installed: (0,3)(0,7)(0,8)(0,9). The one you want is (0,7) but unfortunately it will default to (0,3). There are three methods for fixing this, editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, editing /etc/asound.conf, or making a ~/.asoundrc. The suggested method IMO is to use the .asoundrc, note that this will only pertain to the user who's home directory the file is placed in. Verify that the nvidia card is 0 by using
aplay -l
If it is, you can put this in ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 7
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 7
If your HDMI card isn't card 0, you can ether change card 0 to card 1 or 2 or whatever it is, or you can go into your BIOS and disable the other sound cards. Once you think that you have configured everything correctly, you can restart the machine, or to save time you can just restart alsa from the command line:
sudo service alsa-utils stop
sudo alsa force-reload
sudo service alsa-utils start

lastcoder - Pulse Audio is out, I need to do multi tracking for mixing down music, thats why I need Ardour.
Nice fix but not the one for me.
mynis01 - I'll try this but it could take me a little time, I'm going to call a friend and have him help me with this, I'm a Newbie and I have cold feet. He can break this down for me, step by step so I don't make any misstakes.
my card is 0 and the four do show up 03 07 08 09
I typed - gedit .asoundrc [Return] gedit came up with .asoundrc at the top, then I typed in;

ctl.!default {

When I was done I went to the dropdown menu "File" then "Save" and then "Exit" - then I Re-Booted
After it came back up I went into qjack and tried differant combo's and errors can't find jack

Please give us the output of
aplay -l
Pulse Audio is out, I need to do multi tracking for mixing down music, thats why I need Ardour.
You can have pulse audio and jack installed at the same time. When you start up jack it will take over from pulse.
Also please post the errors you are getting from jack, the stuff that is in the message window should help explain what is going wrong.
I'm not sure what kind of performance you will get with that card though, do you use a dedicated input device for audio?
I gave up my Apple and ProTools because I saw Ardour and liked what I saw.
That may have been a bit hasty, you know Ardour runs on Macs as well right?
Audio recording on Linux is doable and it works great, but it is really nowhere near other platforms in terms of easy-to-set-up and usability (as I am sure you are aware right now).

All the messing around could I have messed up Jack and/or Alsa, can you reinstall just jack and/or Alsa?
ALSA: Cannot open PCM device alsa_pcm for capture. Falling back to playback-only mode
Well I'd guess the reason it is not working is that your card does not have any inputs, so is failing when you ask it to connect to these inputs.
Try changing from duplex to playback only.
I have changed from duplex to playback only still no sound
Have we gone where no Linux user has gone before?
Have we travel into Linux's dark abyss, with no light in sight?
With people like yourselves belonging to a vast / wide Linux
community, Linux will prevail. Strengths are in Numbers.
Am I allowed to ramble on?, Well I guess I'm just scared of
the unknown and you saying that it can't be done.
I know it might seem esoteric right now, but if you keep troubleshooting, you will eventually get things going the way you want. If you've got the time and patience for it that is (half the time I do not).
When you get stuck with something, take a look at the error messages, look for a relevant phrase, then google it. If you get stuck, then just post a question on the forums with as much info as you can.
In this case, we need more info to help. Does jack still display the same message? If it is different, what does it say now?
Perhaps simplifying things first, and adding components when the base is working is the way to go?
First thing it seems to me is get sound working using pure alsa. No jack, nor anything more complicated, just alsa.
If you can not get that working, then it becomes worriesome.

What xaos54 said, get vlc or some youtube videos playing through the hdmi port first, then we can worry about jack configs. I have the exact same video card as you do and have used it with JACK and ALSA on more than one occasion with both AVLinux and #!, so don't fret. The message
ALSA: Cannot open PCM device alsa_pcm for capture. Falling back to playback-only mode
is actually a warning, not an error. It doesn't indicate that JACK isn't going to start, it just means that you won't be able to use your hdmi port as a recording device.

I only have one card in my computer and its the NVidia GeForce560 GTX Ti 1040 HDMI card.
When I bring up a Youtube Video w/out Jack or with Jack running still No Sound. Something seems to be blocking the sound from using the HDMI. When I run windows it see's everything. But I don't want all that crap thats on windows, I just want my sound on my AvLinux, I don't need to watch movies, I just want to hear.

By the way how did you get a picture to come up under your name?
You also have an onboard intel hdmi port on your motherboard, which also supports sound via hdmi. Try and disable it in the BIOS. Then try using the command "alsamixer" from the command line and make sure all of your hdmi channels are unmuted (ALSA mutes all channels by default usually, don't ask me why). Use mplayer, vlc, or some other media player that lets you manually select a sound card other than the one ALSA defaults to in order to test out the various outputs you have. Almost always with Nvidia cards, the right one will be device 7, so it will say something like "HDA Nvidia 0,7" or if you haven't yet disabled the intel card, it will be "HDA Nvidia 1,7".

AVL might not come with the command line mixer installed. You can try and install the GUI one from the repos like this:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install alsamixergui
The reason for suggesting the GUI one is that the cli one is part of alsa-utils, and you probably don't want to mess with any of AVL's default ALSA binaries. You need to use some kind of mixer to verify that the channels you are trying to use aren't muted, because that could be the cause of the problem you are having.
As I pointed out, that error message doesn't mean that ALSA isn't working, it shows up because your HDMI port is an output only, it can't be used for microphones and such. Thus it can be used for playback but it can not be used for capture.
Your .asoundrc should be pointing to device 7, not device 8.
If you want to get this working, you need to quit messing around with JACK for now. JACK sends sound output to ALSA or OSS devices, so if you can't get some kind of sound coming out of your ALSA device first, it's pointless to mess around with JACK. We know you aren't interested in watching youtube videos, it's just part of the troubleshooting procedure. Have you tried using vlc and specifing hdmi 0,7 as the device in the preferences? Once you get that part working, I can generate a working JACK configuration from my machine for you.
Also, PCM stands for "Pulse-code modulation" it's a way of representing analog signals as digital code. I wouldn't worry yourself with that for now though
Once you get ALSA working without using JACK, you can implement these settings from the qjackctl setup tab:
or you can run JACK from the command line with the same settings using this command:
/usr/bin/jackd -p1024 -t2000 -dalsa -dhw:0 -r96000 -p1024 -n2 -D -Phw:0,7
The annoying part about using JACK from the command line is, a lot of apps don't create connections to the JACK server without your intervention. You can use the patchage app in order to edit connections, but it's probably best for you to just use qjackctl for now.
:~$ su
:/home/elvis# sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install alsamixergui
and I've tried it without the "sudo" in front, if I don't do "su" then a password at the "main promp :~$" and I try and type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install alsamixergui" at the ":~$" it asks me for a password that I don't know.
This is what I get?

Do I need to reinstall alsa or the mixer? I don't think alsa is working, and if I do have to reinstall, the question would be, how do you reinstall? Synaptic Package Manager lets you delete or install, not reinstall. I would hate to have to reinstall av-linux all over again.

1. | Sniggle | ||
To giggle & snort through the nose simultaneously The action that describes giggling (laughing with repeated short, spasmodic sounds) with the mouth closed, with the only place of release for the giggles via the nostrils lol During the sad occasion she knew it was inappropriate to laugh out loud and so managed to sniggle quietly much to her delight & to the embarrassment of her weeping friend.
2. | sniggle | ||
Cross between "snicker" and "giggle" Sniggling is not recommended.
3. | sniggle | ||
the act of sniggering yet giggling simultaneously. I can't stop sniggling.
I sniggled when I saw the picture you posted on my wall because I found it humorous. |
4. | Sniggle | ||
Like a snuggle, only so much better. <3 -sniggleattack-
5. | sniggle | ||
1. To take something quickly when someone isn't looking; to steal. Typically something of low value.
2. To sneak and wiggle into a restricted area. 3. To achieve something intangible against all odds, such as stealing victory, through often humorous or unbelievable means. 1. "OMFG, did you just sniggle one of my french fries?"; or "He totally sniggled the last piece of pie out from under me!"
2. "My outdoors cat sniggled her way into our house through a hole in the ceiling, after she bounced off of a towel rack and a space heater, I don't have the heart to put her back out." 3. "I sniggled a victory in battlegrounds when everyone else mysteriously disconnected." |
6. | Sniggle | ||
The act of snuggling with smeone and gigling at the same time. I had the best time with John last night, even though all we did was sit on the couch and sniggle.
7. | Sniggle | ||
When you are in the stage of flirting that comes right before snuggling and/or cuddling. Person 1: Those two are sitting there on the couch right next to each other, with their shoulders touching, flirting like none other.
Person 2: Sniggle; that's what they're doing! |

Rated 5 out of 5Â by SueZ Squishy and fun
These are so soft and squishy that I don't want to wear anything else. I have narrow feet so I had to adjust the strap quite a bit, but as far as size, they seemed right on with the size I wear. I hope they never wear out because I love them.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ruby Mae Just what I needed
I have had both knees replaced, and have a hard time finding comfortable slippers.
I just happened to try these on and the softness and thickness is just perfect.
Problem is this was the last pair,so I am looking for more.
I swear by these.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Supermom Great for just around the house
I am a busy working mom who loves to slide these on after taking off my work shoes. The cushion feels great and comforts to feet for the mommy part of my day. The slides are also kitchen and bath approved ( by me) for those wet floors. I have not fallen yet :-) On the weekends i can have these on all day for hosue cleaning inside and out and runs to get pedicures. Great worth my money.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Mystical dream I tried these out and did not like them, an 8 was too small , normally 8's are big on me. Also I was used to the fit foam and those are much better. So I returned these and ordered the fit foam sliders in a 9 and they're great!!!
