An Interview with the Editors of the New Voice of Witness Book, Palestine Speaks: Narratives of Life Under Occupation.
by Voice of Witness
Palestine Speaks: Narratives of Life Under Occupation is the latest book from Voice of Witness, a San Francisco-based nonprofit cofounded by Dave Eggers and published by McSweeney's. Voice of Witness uses oral history to highlight human rights crises through their book series and education program. Additional information about the organization and free curriculum for Palestine Speaks is available here.
Author, editor, and critic, John Freeman interviewed Palestine Speaks editors Cate Malek and Mateo Hoke about the process of collecting and sharing these oral histories. John Freeman is the author of two books, The Tyranny of Email, and How to Read a Novelist, and editor of Tales of Two Cities: The Best of Times and Worst of Times in Today's New York. He lives in Manhattan and is the founding editor of Freeman's, a literary journal launching in the fall of 2015.
FREEMAN: Why Palestine, what brought the two of you there in the first place and what made you feel like this is a place whose stories you wanted to help tell?
MALEK and HOKE: Cate was working for a non-profit tourism organization, bringing people from the US and Europe to go on walking trips in the Middle East. The work turned out to be an incredible way to meet a lot of different people from many levels of society in very diverse communities throughout the West Bank. We had done work many years before in long-form, immersive journalism and knew that was the kind of work we really cared about doing and wanted to get back to doing. When Mateo started volunteering with Voice of Witness, we saw the opportunity to pull all these threads together into a reporting project we felt could be very powerful.
What kept us going over the four years we were putting this project together were the compelling stories that we were hearing. We wanted to do justice to the people who had taken so much time to share, not only very difficult stories with us, but also their humor and insight. While it's not the norm yet to see complex, nuanced stories from Palestinians in the US media, there are many brilliant journalists and artists doing work on Palestine, and so we hoped to contribute to that body of work. As Americans, it's tempting to shrug our shoulders and say what's happening in Israel and Palestine is too complicated to engage with, but the truth is we're major players in the conflict and we believe becoming more informed can only help everyone involved.
FREEMAN: You write in the book's introduction that you hope its publication helps change some of the preconceptions people hold about Palestine: can you be more specific about these preconceptions, and which of your own changed in gathering these histories?
MALEK and HOKE: In the US, and the West in general, people often hear about Palestinians, but rarely from them. And when Palestinians are talked about, they are often flattened into the stereotype of either terrorists or victims. Who hasn't seen images of a young Palestinian man with a keyffieh around his face, throwing stones? Or a Palestinian woman sobbing? The news only seems to cover Palestine when something terrible has happened, which leads to these very understandable preconceived notions people in the West have about Palestine. Our goal is to offer our readers some context for the stories they hear. To dig deeper into the lives of the people in the news stories, and offer our readers a richer understanding of life under military occupation.
We are both from the US, so before the project began, our views on Palestine were inevitably shaped by US culture and media, which leaves a lot of room for growth. This book took nearly five years to complete, so there was a lot of room for our own views to shift along the way. One of the main things that shifted right away was the perception that Palestine is a dangerous place for outsiders to travel or work, that Palestinians don't like Americans. But in reality, Palestine is a hospitality culture, and a very safe place to work.
FREEMAN: There's a wide range of people here — activists, a fisherman, a graffiti artist, a long-distance runner, even. How did you come across your subjects and did you ever try to talk to a Hamas militant?
MALEK and HOKE: We were really lucky to work within the strong networks of people Cate had access to from her work with non-profits, and as a teacher and editor. Sometimes, we would get a recommendation of someone we should talk to, or sometimes there was a particular community or story we wanted to learn more about. So we would ask around for contacts, and often had way more than we needed. For example, we had heard the story of the eighteen wanted cows that Ghassan Andoni told before, and we wanted to find someone who knew that story, but then Ghassan's story included so many other themes and had so much depth that we decided to include it in the book. Our translators often got very into the interview process as well, and many of our narrators came from people they recommended.
We interviewed more than seventy people and the process of whittling those interviews down was very, very difficult. But the process for transcribing and editing each narrative was so time intensive that we had to be very focused. We did interview the family of a Hamas militant who had been killed by Israeli soldiers, but we chose to focus instead on the son of a man who had been suspected of being a militant and had also been killed, shot by soldiers when he was driving his car in Bethlehem. At one point he had been working with Islamic Jihad, but at the time of his death he wasn't affiliated with any party. About halfway through the interview process, the son was arrested under administrative detention and so we were unable to continue since he was in prison with no idea of when he would get out. For both of us, that's the story we regret not including the most.
FREEMAN: Everyone in this book seems to mark themselves, or mark time, by history: they were born in the first intifada, or during the second, they were born a year after the Iran-Iraq war. I've never read an oral history so rooted in a political timeline, why do you think this is the case for your subjects?
MALEK and HOKE: It's not so much that the narratives in the book are rooted in politics, it's more that they're rooted in the history of the place. The first and second intifada's are very real and visceral pieces of Palestinian history and identity, not just hash marks on a timeline. One of the things that came across in our research is how proud the culture of Palestine is, despite nearly forty years of military occupation, and the violence and humiliation inherent therein. The intifadas affected the lives of everyone in Palestine, and no one came out unscathed. So if someone says they were born during an intifada, it's likely because the effects of being born during an uprising against the occupation influenced his or her life and identity in a profound way.
FREEMAN: And yet interruptions — whether its power, prison (and let's talk about that in a moment), the endless delays of checkpoints — seem to be the defining characteristic of Palestinian life. Many of your subjects simply deal with it, but what are you observations on how this affects life in Palestine?
MALEK and HOKE: As outsiders, it can be a little difficult to try to understand what parts of Palestinian culture come from the occupation and what comes from something else. But you're absolutely right that the delays, interruptions and restrictions are omnipresent. They mean that it is difficult to make plans or to have a regular schedule. This affects school, finances, and career aspirations and it also affects the ability to just relax or go on a vacation. It takes an incredible amount of hard-headed persistence to accomplish fairly basic things.
This can turn tragic, as in the case of Kifah, where her inability to travel has blocked her access to the medical care she needs to save her life. It can also just be intensely frustrating, as in the case of Ghassan, who we mentioned before, who had to curtail his career as a physicist because he wasn't allowed to travel. He talks about trying to make the equipment he needed, such as lasers, himself, but he finally gave up when he realized he could never keep up with other scientists that way. Our narrators expressed various ways of dealing with that, and certainly it leads to anger, depression and despair. It also contributes to an incredible amount of resourcefulness and a black humor that pops up throughout the stories. For most of the narrators, it pushed them to take some sort of action, whether that was through art, running, activism, education, or many other things. It's disturbing when interruptions like these become normalized and people stop noticing them as unusual. There's a tendency in Palestine for someone facing the most surreal situation to give a half smile and say that it's normal or expected. They're joking, but Palestinians talk a lot about the battle against the normalization of the occupation, and the need to fight against accepting small, restrictive lives as the status quo.
FREEMAN: This is a very hard book to read, because your subjects are very proud, very articulate, and yet many of the experiences they have — being forced to strip, being removed from houses at night, having their homes demolished — are humiliating, or seem designed to humiliate. I was surprised, though, how few people expressed anger: even a man who had spent more than half of a decade in prison without being charged. Did he talk about how he dealt with anger?
MALEK and HOKE: There are some very difficult parts of the narratives, and we often left interviews feeling deeply shaken and disturbed. But the narrators were also often very insightful about how they dealt with trauma. Abdelrahman, specifically, said that for him it helped to feel he was connected with a larger cause and with his community. He said that because he knew he was one of many being imprisoned with no charges, and that there were many people in worse situations than him, it helped him survive. He was talking there not about dealing with his anger, but keeping his sanity at a very basic level. And he said he did see other prisoners who struggled with serious mental issues after being released. He certainly still struggles with the effects of his prison time many years later. But he said it made him want to give back to his community. He works as a lawyer now, representing other prisoners in torture and administrative detention cases. For him and other secular prisoners, becoming involved in the community was often their strategy. For Kifah, and other religious prisoners, their time in prison often strengthened their faith.
FREEMAN: Let's talk about the effect of prison: more than half of your subjects have spent time in prisons in one way or other. Many of them without charges on administrative detention, which is similar to the loophole that puts people in Guantanamo. You say in your introduction that these lives are not meant to be representative. Still, I want to know if this is common: do most people in Palestine know someone or other who has been detained, and does the fear of administrative detention cut across the lives of most people?
MALEK and HOKE: To say this is common would be an understatement. The prison crisis affects every Palestinian in the West Bank, no matter one's age, gender, location or socioeconomic class. For those who haven't been detained or imprisoned themselves, then he or she has a family member who has. Forty percent of men in the West Bank have spent time in prison. One of our narrators, a man named Abdulrahaman, spent nearly twenty years in prison, most of it in administrative detention (which means he was held without charges). Children often grow up with a parent in prison, and often see that parent dragged away in the middle of the night at gunpoint. Children and teenagers too are taken by soldiers in midnight raids, so the trauma goes beyond simply the detention, and the torture used during prison interrogations. In certain communities, there is a real sense that soldiers could come at any time to take people and hold them indefinitely.
FREEMAN: There are lots of different story-telling styles here — some people are brief and factual, others are chatty, some intensely poetic. Jamal Baker, for instance, a fisherman, says: "I feel like I'm a fish. If I leave the sea, then I will die." How many of your subjects had given testimony to a journalist before, and how did your interviews change depending on the subject's experience with telling their story?
MALEK and HOKE: Some of the way the narrators speak is because of the language. Arabic speakers tend to use metaphor, and poetry itself is an important part of the culture in Palestine. We tried to preserve that in the translations as much as possible. But Palestine is a hotbed for quick news stories, and anytime something tragic or scary happens in the occupied territories, it's common for journalists to drop in, talk to a few people, and leave. During the research for this book we interviewed more than seventy people, so some of our narrators have certainly spoken with journalists previously, but in a very different way than we were asking them to talk to us because we were sitting down for hours, and would be coming back again and again, sometimes a dozen or more times.
In terms of how our interviews changed depending on the subjects experience, if it seemed to us like someone had rehearsed their story, or told it many times, we would listen patiently and let them tell that story again, because it's important for everyone to feel heard. But we're fortunate that our work allows the time to go beyond the rehearsed narratives, and dig deeper into the stories people tell. And this is imperative because we were often talking about traumatic episodes in our narrator's lives.
Most of our narrators had never been asked questions from journalists like the ones we were asking. Questions like, "tell me what you were like as a child," or "describe your typical day from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep" may seem simple, but they allow us to give our readers a deeper understanding of who the people are telling these traumatic stories, rather than just focusing on drama or violence. They offer a detailed look into the lives of the people living through these traumas, and allow our readers a deeper understanding of the narrators' lives.
FREEMAN: The restrictions in movement your subjects face are intense, many have not been to other parts of Palestine even though they are nearby…and yet so many of them feel Palestinian. It is who they are. Can you talk about how that sense of nationality was demonstrated?
MALEK and HOKE: There can sometimes be kind of a knee-jerk, thoughtless expression of nationalism in Palestine, waving the flag or putting on a keffiyeh. But for the narrators in this book, nationality was much deeper and closely intertwined with the idea of resistance. This resistance is sometimes militant, but much, much more often takes the form of speaking up for themselves and their right to exist or portraying a picture of Palestine they don't think the outside world often sees. As one person we interviewed mentioned, they watch the same movies and read the same news we do. They know what the stereotypical images of Palestinians are, and that they are often seen as either terrorists or victims, and many of them were actively trying to combat that. That includes two of our narrators in Gaza, Wafa, who runs an organization with the purpose of reaching out to people around the world and changing the image they have of Gaza. Also Abeer talked about using her Instagram feed to show a different view of Gaza, and writing stories for the Israeli press, for which she is often sharply criticized for by other Gazans, for the same reason. For Ebtihaj in the West Bank, her nationality was expressed very simply by not moving to the US when she had the opportunity to, and staying in her village and raising her family.
FREEMAN: Will there ever be an 826 Palestine?
MALEK and HOKE: There are already tons of dedicated people in Palestine doing what the 826 nonprofit does, which is offer mentorship to help kids be better at writing and school. The first narrator in our book is a woman who founded a cultural center where kids (and adults too) get reading lessons, tutoring and mentoring, as well as classes in music and dance. Voice of Witness and 826 are different nonprofits with different missions, but as far as VOW goes, we are looking into ways to share VOW's oral history methodologies and resources with communities in Palestine.

Well, it hammered it down last night and I had a dirty pair of waterproofs, so I reckoned on heading down to the LNR to kill 2-birds with one stone. To my astonishment, both Tricia, Maria and Beau came out to pull up more of our favourite plant, Himalayan balsam.
Speaking of favourites, it is difficult to pull ballsam so much of the time, so we were pleased to be distracted by Beau with her "What's your favourite..." game. So all in all, we pulled a massive area again in 2 hours and learnt alot about each other including T-rex, Bread and The Young Ones.
Beau early on found a giant himalayan balsam at well over 2 meters, but right towards the end Tricia found one which stood over 3 meters tall; what an amazingly adaptable plant. My best find of the day was a milk crate and a football post.
Searching though 2,495 moths on the UK Moths website to find one of the moths we caught on the weekends bug hunt(I started at 1 and eventually found it at number 2,441 [silver y]) has spurned us on to borrow the moth trap on a Friday night in early August to sit down to see what we can catch. This was less enthusiastically approved until food and drink was mentioned. So as soon as we have a date for that it will be on the blog.
We'll be out next on Thursday evening from 6 pm just passed the burnt oak tree, whatever the weather and it looks like we are approaching the time to bring out the long-handled hooks as very many are in flower now.

Every member in the team has their own role. We can distinguish plenty of them: Junior Developer, Senior Developer, Frontend, Backend, DevOps, SysAdmin – you name it.
Each single role determines a member's duties and permissions and is strictly based on the member's skills. For instance, a Junior Developer shouldn't have permissions to release the application to Production, but they should have permissions to deploy to the Dev server.
In this article, we'll show you how to manage permissions in Buddy's pipelines.
The Admin role grants access to all projects and pipelines in a given workspace. It's not possible to restrict access permissions to the project for an admin, nor hide pipelines using the visibility.
NOTE: Each workspace owner is assigned admin rights by default that cannot be changed. Only an administrator can give admin permissions to other users.
There are two permissions defined by default in the workspace: Developer and Read-only.
The first one allows for managing and running pipelines. The second one, as its name indicates, allows only to view the pipelines without the ability to add, edit or run them.
NOTE: If you use Buddy as the hosting service in your projects, you can also define the level of Source access there.
View-only - user can browse the executions in Pipelines, for example to check when was the last release to the Production server. However, they cannot run new executions.
Manage - this access level gives full permissions to the Pipelines tab. A user with this access level has the same access to pipelines as the administrator.
NOTE: An administrator has the Developer role set by default, which means that he has full rights in the project. It's not possible to change permissions for the admin.
Apart from permissions that define the access level to all pipelines in a given project, you can also set the Pipeline's visibility. Thanks to that, you can restrict the pipeline's visibility to a defined group of project members.
NOTE: It's not possible to restrict visibility for administrators.
You can set various trigger modes in the pipelines: manual, on every push (automatic), and recurrent.
However, if we use the automatic mode, the pipeline will be triggered after every single push, no matter if the user what permissions and visibility the user has. In short, the trigger mode has the highest priority of all.
There is one person in the team that manages servers and pipelines: the Deployment Manager with the Manage access level.
Apart from that, there's the Senior Developer who can run manual deployments to the production server. However, she cannot edit the deployment scripts, because she has Run-only access level.
The last one is a Junior Developer, who also has Run-only access level, but cannot see the production server, nor deploy to it (the server is hidden with visibility settings.

Cardinals Twitter Guide for Fans
Why Hit the Pitcher 8th?
Friendly Advice to the Reds
by Dennis on May 13, 2011 · 19 comments
Howdy, loyal readers of PH8. If you haven't been around for a while, please take note that we've moved to a new home. We'd love for you to come visit us at Cards Conclave and check out the other great writers while you're there. Thanks for reading!
As the Reds prepare to host the Cardinals this weekend, I thought it might be necessary to help the host team out with a few friendly suggestions about how to stay hospitable and maintain the highest level of decorum they can muster.
Don't do "The Wave". It's pathetic in any stadium, and it just looks really bad when you can't figure out which direction it should go. If you are going to do it, at least try to go horizontally this time.
Don't tap Yadi's shinguards, chest protector, or even a bobblehead of Yadi. "Angry Yadi" is a far better hitter than just regular Yadi, and regular Yadi is currently hitting .294. Yadier Molina is a bad, bad man.
Keep Johnny Cueto on a short leash. No, I mean on a real leash. He's about as useful as an escalator with no power (think stairs with teeth).
If you happen to see a "monster blast" home run, keep in mind that your team plays at the Great American Ball Park and NASA Launch Pad Test Facility. It's like junior high softball field dimensions with the wrong numbers painted on the outfield wall. It's kinda of like taking a 3-wood to a par 3 course or playing Wii baseball. Of course it's a joke.
When you announce that awesome paid attendance for each game in the series, remember to give thanks to the Cardinals fans who travel to your town. They probably comprise about 1/3 of the people who paid to be there. Actually, they are the ones who paid for the good seats. I'm watching. I know you drew 11,821 against Houston at home, and I'm not the least bit impressed. Step up your game. You played in front of an average paid attendance of over 40k in Stl. Step it up, Redlings.
You might as well give away some tickets. I see that on StubHub tickets for one of the games against the Pirates go for as low as $1. Why bother? Just give them away and fill the seats. StubHub charges more in fees than you do for a lot of your tickets. Heck, it costs a fair amount just to print out a ticket at home. Oh, the pain!
I heard about that incredibly clever menu item you created. "Smoked Cardinal" is pure genius, if by "genius" you really mean"classless". Were you aware that St. Louis already had something named in honor of the Cincinnati Reds? Yes, they are called "urinal cakes", and they can be found in restrooms located all around the stadium. They've been around for many, many years. Prior to that incarnation, the Cardinals honored the Reds with what we call "toilet paper". It's that stuff that Cardinals fans usually pack along with them to the GABP.
You are perfectly welcome to keep Ryan Theriot for a few days after the weekend is over. Nobody in St. Louis really needs fashion tips from someone with a pathetically weak soul patch, anyway.
I'm tired of hearing about Aroldis Chapman and his 106 mph fastball. I've seen him throw a couple times this season, and I've only seen him reach 98-99 a few times. Bring the real goods, or stop yapping about it.
Your whole organization owes Jason LaRue a huge apology, a mansion, a yacht, a car, and maybe a nice dinner. You should probably invite him to throw out a ceremonial first pitch and cheer him like crazy, but that's probably too much to ask. Seriously, you might want to try to make amends, since one of your punk players ended his career by being a little fathead. Never mind. LaRue has more class in his catching gear than you do on your whole team, but that's mostly because you have Phillips and Cueto.
Try to temper your enthusiasm about Adam Wainwright being injured. Less singing and dancing, and more humility. Cardinals players and fans don't celebrate that mental issue that Phillips has, so why kick Adam when he's down? He'll be back at some point, and he'll be fine. Phillips will always be the southern end of a northbound mule.
By the way, keep clinging to that "2010 NL Central Division Championship" broom or whatever it is you have hanging up at GABP. Lot of good it did you. Way to represent. The NL Central could have sent the Astros and had the same results. Thanks for nothing. Don't remind anybody of what you did last year. Nobody is really all that impressed. Whoops. I'm probably wrong. The approximately 14,000 Reds fans who regularly pay to attend your games are probably somewhat impressed, if they aren't completely disinterested by the 4th inning. Remember, these are the same people who are fascinated by service staff in restaurants who can write their names upside-down on paper table covers using crayons.
Save yourselves the trouble of the Joey Votto versus Albert Pujols comparisons as well. In his ages 23-26 seasons, Votto compiled a total WAR of 13.8. In Albert's ages comparable seasons, he compiled a total WAR of 36.8. Votto has been getting it done since 2009, but Albert's been the mang since 2001. Case closed.
Recognize that you are playing near your talent max, and you are still a game behind a team that has already lost its ace pitcher for the season, has its superstar player off to a slow start, and is penciling in 3/4 of an infield consisting of "irregulars".
Just remember that if there is another division realignment in baseball, you probably belong in a division with Memphis. Memphis would need a slightly higher payroll, but the guys there deserve it. Don't worry, though. You would have company there, because the Nationals should go along with you.
TIDBIT: Don't think I didn't notice that a Placido Polanco bobblehead doll would simply be a scaled down version of the real Placido Polanco. (No exaggeration required.)
Like it? Wonder why Votto was drafted in 2002 but didn't make his MLB debut until 2007? Follow gr33nazn on Twitter, and we'll discuss this important question along with Polanco's giant noggin!
Cardinals fan since I could hold a fishing pole steady. Accidental blogger. Opinionated. I could care less about what you think of me. Constantly confounded, bemused, and confuzzled (ie I'm a pc and a mac). I'm an IT infrastructure analyst with a penchant for breaking tech toys. I ate a sabermetric primer for breakfast. I love playing "All-powerful GM of MLB". The 2010 Cardinals represented a good, practical definition "cognitive dissonance". The 2011 version got by on duct tape and a prayer, and I'm fine with that. They just need new tape for #12 in 12.

No worries. I'm like 0-10 in the last 3 months against mini-gr33nazn. Last games was lost by the 5-run mercy rule, and I think I strained my spleen swinging at a splitter in the dirt.

Cueto Didnt Look Useless Last Night Did He ? Just Because You Like To Sniff Pujols Jock, Dont Hate On Votto, He Is One Hell Of A Player Who Is Earning His Contract More This Yr. Than Your Prince Albert.
PH8 May 15, 2011
Apparently the friendly advice should've included "learn punctuation and proper case"?
Walt May 15, 2011
While you are correcting other people's grammar perhaps you should know you don't end a declarative sentence with a question mark
Thank you for the tip?
Oddly enough, Albert is in the final year of a lengthy contract, and he's probably earned every penny of it based on his performance. Votto has several years to go on his contract extension, so a lot of things can still happen. It's not a matter of hating on Votto, anyway. It's simply a matter of laughing at people who so quickly put him into the "greatest 1B conversation" with Pujols after such a short period of time. He simply may never get there.
I'd go into more detail, but I doubt you would bother to try and consume all of the information.

We're all right where we've always been. We're acting like we've watched our team succeed in previous years. We're acting like adults. We're acting like we realize that baseball is a game, and we're passionate about that game without being brats. In short, we're not acting the same way you are.
We're not cheering when another team's player gets hit by a pitch. We're not cheering a potential injury. We're displaying a bit of class. That's a lot more than I can say for some people like you. Fortunately, I've been lucky enough to interact with several Reds fans who aren't like you. As with all fans of all teams, there are some really good ones and some really bad ones. I don't paint them all with the same brush. However, I do feel pretty confident when I address you specifically. You deserve to be grouped with the likes of Cueto for lacking a sense of good sportsmanship and decency. Too bad. Maybe some day you will grow out of it and learn that the art of talking trash can be raised to a much higher level.
Tyler May 18, 2011
Frankly Dennis, you're not acting like an adult whatsoever. You're writing a journal for your friends to read online so you can find a forum to whine and complain like a teenager. You think you're in a position to give Reds fans advice, and you think someone actually cares what your opinion is. Cardinals fans crack me up. They cling to the past like an senile old man while whining and complaining like a spoiled brat who thinks they're entitled to everyone's respect. You're days at the top of the Central are over St. Louis, face it. But go head and keep on blogging there Dennis, and keep changing your argument in true Cardinal fashion. First it was "The Reds aren't as good as the Cardinals, no way!" That argument disappeared quickly after we ran away with the Central. Then it was "the Reds were a flash in the pan!" That disappeared as we swept the Cards and sent them home with their tails between their legs. Now it's "Your attendance sucks!" or "Your ballpark's small!" or "Johnny Cueto's a bully!" or (my personal favorite) "Your grammar is terrible!" I feel pretty pathetic that I'm even addressing a fans like you.
Now, I know that you're probably sitting in your mom's basement with your Cards shirt tucked into your hiked up pants and a foam finger on one hand, so you've probably never been in a fight before. But if on the off chance you have been, you understand the amount of adrenaline that flows through you and causes you to do things you may regret afterward. Do I need to remind you that Johnny Cueto was gang tackled, driven backwards, and thrown over the railing into the net by the Cards? What would you do in that situation? Well you would probably quiver violently and wet your pants, but what would an average person do? React. Defend. That's what happened. It's incredibly unfortunate what happened to LaRue because there is so much love for him in Cincinnati, but his career was pretty much over anyways. The bigger tragedy is that he had to end his career playing with the scum in the St. Louis dugout.
But keep up the brilliant blogging Dennis, you illustrate clearly why every other team in the Central hates St. Louis. Your sense of entitlement and blatant arrogance makes that SWEEP taste so much better. Even better is that you prove Brandon Phillips right everyday: the Cardinals organization and fan base is nothing more than a bunch of complainers.
Keep living in the past! We'll worry about the future.
Oh Tyler. Most of the article was written as a tongue-in-cheek way of taking jabs at good-natured Reds fans who aren't really in any way different than Cardinals fans. Part of the article was written to make note of some bandwagon Reds fans who haven't been saying much during the past 20+ years. The rest was to legitimately point out that the Reds face the possibility that they might have to play better than they did last year in order to win the division. The key word there is "might". I expect the Reds to start hitting better, and I don't expect the Cardinals to maintain their current hitting pace. However, I do expect the Brewers to step it up soon. In no way would I actually care about really trying to give fans of another team real advice.
I do find it terribly ironic that you are attempting to cast my blogging in a negative light by replying with a comment that is easily the length of what some might consider a typical blog post. I'm not sure why a sweep by a baseball team would "taste so much better" to a fan of the team. Do you actually play for the Reds? Did you throw a pitch in the game? When the Reds win, do you proudly announce to everyone you know that "we won"?
Oddly enough, it seems that the biggest whiner on this entire page is actually you. The "mom's basement" and "foam finger" bits are nice touches, though. For someone accusing me of failing to act like an adult, you seem to be excelling at that very same behavior yourself. It's not like anybody is forcing you to comment on this site.
You can keep trying to rewrite history all you like with regard to Cueto. No matter how you describe the events leading up to Cueto kicking LaRue, you cannot excuse what he did. You cannot change the end result. As I've already stated, the argument that LaRue's career was coming to an end soon has no weight. Tomorrow is promised to no man, so you have no way of knowing how many games LaRue lost. If the same thing happened to a player at age 23, you could not with absolute certain say that the player was losing out on any specific number of years. The player could suffer a career ending injury at age 30, or he could play until he is 44. You just never know. What we do know is that Cueto ended LaRue's career prematurely, and there is no excuse for that at all.
Let's be serious. LaRue was in his 16 season(11 of which were with the Reds). He was 36 years old. He had already played well past the average career span for a catcher. He'd been considering retiring for a few years. All he had was a concussion. If he'd wanted to come back this year, he would have. If he was good, he would have been back by the end of the year. However, as he was batting .196 for you guys and rosters were about to expand to the 40 man, there was really no use for him. Yadi is better offensively and defensively and he had no use as a pinch hitter. I think retirement was a graceful way of bowing out when his talents were no longer needed. I mean that honestly, because I love Rusty and I wish he'd never been traded.
If you don't want your players to get injured, tell Chris Carpenter not to make a beeline for Cueto and drive him into a defenseless position where all he can do is kick. Carpenter is as much to blame as Cueto. The injury is incredibly unfortunate, but Cueto did nothing worse than any player who's ever been in a fight. If you think Cueto is a monster, you should feel the same way about Nolan Ryan, Robin Ventura, Mike Piazza, Pedro Martinez, and every other player that's ever fought. If you attack Cueto, how do you defend Carpenter going right after him (knowing full well that Cueto was starting that game and had pitched a great 1st)?
And trust me, your 100% right about the irony of me posting here. It's embarrassing
Gets your facts straight. Better yet, check out the following link for a pdf that contains screenshots with a step-by-step account with arrows and an explanation of what happened. http://bit.ly/jIz6pl Cueto went looking for Carpenter.
nice work putting in the time to try and manipulate some still shots into selling your point. i really like when cueto is "assaulting" carpenter from behind. i actually started laughing. under your definition of assault i think every person in the fight should be in prison. you could have saved some time and just watched the video. its right here http://youbeenblinded.com/cardinals-and-reds-clear-the-benches-after-brandon-phillips-comments/8591. you clearly see cueto being pinned against the fence by carpenter, who is being driven there by his own team.
Really? Look at where Cueto started. How exactly did he end up even near the screen or even near Carpenter? Wait, I got it. Maybe there is a two-Cueto scenario….lol. If you are only going to selectively see what you want to see, then don't bother continuing to comment. It's also obvious that I'm not the one who put together the collection of stll shots, "tyler".
Perhaps the better question is where have all these Reds fans coming out of the woodwork been the last twenty years?
I know they certainly haven't been at the ballpark in Cincy, so I'm genuinely curious…
I believe that PH8 was really asking a question. Also, it wouldn't hurt to add a comma between "grammar" and "perhaps" in your flawed attempt to correct another person's grammar. A period at the end of your poorly constructed "sentence" would be nice as well.

In need of a new brewmaster, Hamm hired Christopher Figge who would start a tradition of three generations of Hamm's Brewmasters, with his son William and grandson William II taking the position.By the 1880s, the Theodore Hamm Brewing Company was reportedly the second largest in Minnesota.
Hamm's opened its San Francisco brewery in 1954 at 1550 Bryant Street.
Its 20-by-80 foot sign, with a three-dimensional 13-foot beer chalice on top, appeared in the first Dirty Harry film and was a local landmark. In the early 1980s, the beer vats were first squatted and then rented out to punk rock bands.
Miller was later purchased by South African Breweries and the name was changed to SABMiller.
Subsequently, SABMiller formed a joint venture combining their US and Puerto Rican assets with those of Molson Coors to form Miller Coors, the current owner and brewer of the Hamm's Brand. Keller established the Pittsburgh Excelsior Brewery. Keller, a friend of Theodore Hamm, planned for the two of them to travel to California for the "second gold rush." Louise forbade her husband from leaving her alone with three children in the wild frontier town of St. Unbeknownst to his wife, Hamm staked all of his savings and mortgaged his beer garden in Keller for his trip and homestead in California.
Today, the Hamm's brewery is a popular location for urban explorers, graffiti artists, vandals, and thieves.
In 1953, Hamm's purchased its second brewery from the Rainier Brewing Company.
Jacob Schmidt remained with the company until the early 1880s, becoming a close family friend of the Hamms.
Jacob Schmidt left the company after an argument ensued over Louise Hamm's disciplinary actions to Schmidt's daughter, Marie.
Its buildings were shuttered, and subsequently vandalized, demolished or left to decay.

Remilk to build precision fermentation facility in Denmark
Food-tech disruptor prepares to vastly scale dairy-identical, non-animal milk protein production in a sustainable industrial park
Remilk says they are committed to reinventing the dairy industry in a kind, sustainable way.

Following the close of $120 million in Series B funding, Remilk announced it will build the world's largest full-scale precision fermentation facility on more than 750,000 sq.-ft. of newly acquired land within The Symbiosis project, a pioneering sustainable industrial ecosystem, in Kalundborg, Denmark. This next major milestone demonstrates Remilk's continued leadership in the rapidly developing category by offering consumers animal-free dairy products identical to their traditional counterparts but free of lactose, cholesterol and hormones, thus severing the dairy supply chain's reliance on animals.
"Remilk is committed to reinventing our dairy industry in a kind, sustainable way," says Aviv Wolff, CEO and founder of Remilk. "Eliminating the need for animals in our food system is the only way to supply our world's growing demand without destroying it in the process. We intend to massively scale up our production capabilities to make nutritious, delicious, and affordable dairy that will send cows into early retirement."
Kalundborg's Symbiosis project is a pioneering industrial ecosystem with transformational economic and environmental results. Within the network, byproducts of one company become resources for another. At present, Symbiosis is a collaborative effort involving more than a dozen visionary public and private companies, including industry giants such as Novozymes, Novo Nordisk and Chr. Hansen. At the new facility, Remilk will produce non-animal dairy protein for use in products like cheese, yogurt and ice cream, in volumes equivalent to that produced by 50,000 cows each year.
"We are not just dreaming big, we are acting upon our promise to dramatically reduce the food industry's devastating impact on our planet," says Wolff. "Ending animals' historic role as providers of food for humankind is one of the most powerful measures we can take to reduce our impact on this planet."
Remilk pioneered a yeast-based fermentation process that produces non-animal milk proteins for use in dairy products traditionally made with cow-derived milk proteins. Remilk's protein enables the production of products that are indistinguishable in taste and function from traditional dairy. According to a report by Boston Consulting Group and Blue Horizon Corporation, alternative proteins could account for 11% ($290B) of the global protein market by 2035. Dairy produced through precision fermentation requires a fraction of the Earth's resources and emits a fraction of the harmful greenhouse gas emissions of animal dairy.
After an extensive search, the company selected Kalundborg, Denmark, as the site for its facility because of the location's strategic advantage and powerful approach to industrial sustainability, as well as access to a deep pool of local talent and the strategic cooperation and support from the city and the Danish government.
"The Municipality of Kalundborg looks forward to welcoming the international company Remilk. The company's profile fits perfectly into our sustainability profile and with the Biotech City's other participants," says Mayor Martin Damm. "When Remilk's plant for production of non-animal dairy products is completed, it will also be the world's largest precision fermentation facility. I see Remilk's choice of Kalundborg Municipality as a buy-in to our commitment to sustainability, high technology and education and our ability to enter a constructive dialogue with our stakeholders."
"I am very happy to welcome Remilk to Denmark. This investment is a recognition of Denmark's position as a global leader in sustainable food production and innovation," says Anne Hougaard Jensen, director of Invest in Denmark, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark. "Remilk brings important knowledge to Denmark in terms of research and development with food ingredients and dairy products. I am convinced that the opening of Remilk's production facility in Denmark will be an important step towards an even more sustainable future for the food and dairy industry."
The selection of this location was made possible through a partnership with the city of Kalundborg, Invest in Denmark (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark), the Danish embassy in Israel, and the Israeli Embassy in Denmark.
Denmark is a world leader in its sustainability efforts and achievements. When considering total power consumption, about 80% of the energy mix in the grid comes from green power sources, including wind, solar and hydro according to Energinet. Denmark has stated an ambitious goal to transition its entire electricity system to be independent of fossil fuels by 2027, as set by the Danish parliament.

I sit by the most beautiful dinner site in the world.
The Two Mary's Restaurant by the river Vltava, in the Czech hamlet of Cesky Krumlov. History, architecture, peace, green, water flow, towers that would rival Disney's…. And of course hoards of Chinese tourists, blocking my walking path with their selfies. (I'm told it is illegal in China for that reason.) I did resent them, their foreignness taking over this European treasure. But of course I'm a foreigner here too and there have been plenty of American tourists in China.
What will China be like when these young people return? I'm sure they will doubt the policy of isolation. Maybe they will still tend to be followers and value family as a religion. But they will have freely explored Google and other versions of history.
I watch the Chinese women be a little bossy, in contrast to the demure Japanese ones. Well, the equalization of gender (except for babies) and class, to some degree, has made a difference. I laugh at their laughter and antics. Their obvious joy in tourism. And am hopeful for the new world.
Meanwhile the river flows by my dinner of goulash, camomile tea and sauerkraut.
Meanwhile the towers tower and point up to God or power or beauty. Below we drink beer and pay bills and plan the next day's activities. Meanwhile life goes on.
Later, after dinner I wander a back street towards guitar music and laughter.
It's a good way to end the multicultural day. With ice cream, a Kiwi contact, celebration of the Chinese's new freedom and singing.
Life is good. Die happy—I remind both of us.

What do you do when the battery dies inside your Toyota Prius? Jumping a Prius or another Toyota Hybrid isn't much different from jumping a gas-powered car. You'll need jumper cables, an assisting vehicle, and a solid metallic point. Once you have everything you need, check out Brent Brown Toyota's guide on how to jump a Toyota Prius below!
Step 1: Open your car's hood and look under the fuse box cover. There, you'll find the jump start terminal.
Step 2: Connect the red positive jumper cable to the positive terminal in your car.
Step 3: Connect the second red positive cable to the positive battery terminal on the assisting vehicle.
Step 4: Connect the black negative cable to the negative battery terminal on the other car.
Step 5: Secure the second negative clamp to a metallic point that's a safe distance away. The metallic point should be unpainted and unmoving.
Step 6: Start the engine on the other vehicle and allow it to run for five minutes.
Step 7: Start your hybrid car and wait for a "Ready" notification.
Step 8: Disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse order of how they were connected.

Q: how to print ones and zeros in columns with their indexes in python? I have a list of zeros and ones, I want to print them in two different columns with headings and index numbers. Something like this.
list = [1,0,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,0]
ones      zeros
1 1       2 0
3 1       6 0
4 1       8 0
5 1       10 0
7 1       11 0
9 1

This is the desired output.
I tried this:
list = [1,0,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,0]

print('ones',end='\t')
print('zeros')

for index,ele in enumerate(list,start=1):
    if ele==1:
        print(index,ele,end="    ")
    elif ele==0:
        print("    ")
        print(index,ele,end="    ")
    else:
        print()

But this gives output like this:
ones    zeros
1 1
2 0    3 1    4 1    5 1
6 0    7 1
8 0    9 1
10 0
11 0

How do get the desired output?
Any help is appreciated.

A: You can use itertools.zip_longest, str.ljust, f-strings (for formatting), and some calculations for the printing part, and use two lists to hold the indices of both zeros and ones:
l = [1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0]

ones, zeros = [], []
max_len_zeros = max_len_ones = 0

for index, num in enumerate(l, 1):
  if num == 0:
    zeros.append(index)
    max_len_zeros = max(max_len_zeros, len(str(index)))
  else:
    ones.append(index)
    max_len_ones = max(max_len_ones, len(str(index)))

from itertools import zip_longest

print('ones' + ' ' * (max_len_ones + 2) + 'zeros')

for ones_index, zeros_index in zip_longest(ones, zeros, fillvalue = ''):
  one = '1' if ones_index else ' '
  this_one_index = str(ones_index).ljust(max_len_ones)
  zero = '0' if zeros_index else ''
  this_zero_index = str(zeros_index).ljust(max_len_zeros)
  print(f'{this_one_index} {one}    {this_zero_index} {zero}')

Output:
ones   zeros
1 1    2  0
3 1    6  0
4 1    8  0
5 1    10 0
7 1    11 0
9 1

List with more zeros than ones:
In: l = [1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0]
Out:
ones    zeros
1  1    2  0
4  1    3  0
7  1    5  0
9  1    6  0
10 1    8  0
14 1    11 0
        12 0
        13 0
        15 0

List with equal number of zeros and ones:
In: l = [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1]
Out:
ones    zeros
1  1    2  0
3  1    4  0
5  1    6  0
8  1    7  0
9  1    10 0
11 1    13 0
12 1    14 0
15 1    16 0
18 1    17 0
20 1    19 0

A: It's hard to do what you need in an iterative way. I have kind of a "broken" solution that both shows how you could better do what you are trying to do and why an iterative approach is limited in this case.
I updated your code as following:
list = [1,0,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,0]

print('ones',end='\t')
print('zeros')

for index,ele in enumerate(list,start=1):
  # First check if extra space OR new lines OR both are needed
  if index > 1:
    if ele==1:
      print()
    elif ele==0:
      if list[index-2]==1:
        print('', end=' \t')
      else:
        print('', end='\n\t\t')

  # THEN, write your desired output without any end
  if ele==1:
    print(index,ele,end="")
  elif ele==0:
    print(index,ele,end="")

# Finally an empty line
print()

It gives the following ouput:
ones    zeros
1 1     2 0
3 1
4 1
5 1     6 0
7 1     8 0
9 1     10 0
        11 0

As you can see, its limitation is that you can't go "up" and rewrite in old lines.
However, if you need to display EXACTLY as you've shown, you need to construct an intermediate data structure (for example a dict) and then display it using zip

I have no sound in windows or in personalization nothing from the speakers, volume I set but no sound.
Just got my Acer Aspire E5 572g back from repair at Acer Repair Center.
They switched out my prosessor, but now i got no sound. The computer came back with a clean install of win 8.1.
Whenever I unplug the speakers jack and plug in the headphones, the sound stops! I have to restart the application or run another one and then the sound is back. This is really silly and takes time especially when you need to restart some game.
I have an alienware m14x laptop, which I purchased around 2 years ago. One part of the problem is what speakers I actually have built into the laptop and cannot look for the proper drivers to potentially fix this issue. The other part of the problem lies with windows 8 itself.
Whenever sound comes out of my speakers, (there only being a total of 2 speakers) it only comes out of one of the two speakers at a time. THIS IS CAUSING THE SOUND QUALITY TO BE COMPLETELY TERRIBLE. How to make ALL audio come out of both speakers at the same time.
I bought the plantronics .Audio 335 studio headphones, but when I plugged them in, it screwed up my sound. My compute'rs sound is now playing through both the headphones AND the laptop speakers. After unplugging it and trying again a couple times, I gave up and decided to just use my old headphones.
Except for the sound still played through both the headphones and laptop speakers.
Distraught, I restarted my computer. When that didn't work, I restored my system to a point I made yesterday. Still no luck. I've been scrounging google for a few hours now, and nothing is working. I REFUSE to refresh my system and reinstall all of my programs again.
I had my laptop for about a year now. The problem is after watching 3-4 videos, the sound will not work on the next file. I tried restarting and it worked! But after another 3-4 videos, there was no sound again. Another thing is when I open a music file, it works again. But the cycle just goes on.
Is there a way to have BOTH speaker 'sets' be heard ?? The Touchscreens Beats Audio & my external Boston Acoustics speakers ?
I just bought a new pc and received it today, and i plugged my headset in to check if i hear audio from both speakers and headset but its not working. When i plug my headset in i only hear audio from my headset and not the speakers. Ive been googling and found something about it but with the newest realtek hd audio i dont have the Playback Device there, only the Recording Device. In this picture it has both the playback and recording device.
My friend connected an external monitor to his Sony laptop using an HDMI cable. The problem is that there is no audio from the external monitor speakers. The sound still comes out of the laptop speakers. When I look in Playback Devices, I see what appears to be the speakers as a device (can't remember exactly what is was called, but it was a somewhat vague name like "audio device"), and I've tried various settings, yet I can't get sound from the speakers.
So my question is, does an HDMI connection on a monitor support audio, or does he need to get a audio cable and use the green audio jack that is on the monitor, which I thought was just needed with the VGA connector.
When listening to any sound source like Youtube or BBC iPlayer the quality on this Windows 8 machine, HP Pavilion, is ok. If I record the music on either Audacity or Windows sound recorder the playback sounds weird like the speakers were under water. Tried changing levels but no difference made.
Okay so I haven't gotten a proper BSOD since the computer doesn't actually power down, the screen just goes black and the speakers play a buzzing sound. It doesn't happen too often and if it does it usually seems to be within a few hours of turning the computer on (I leave it running unless I go away for a day or so). Seems to me the problem could be just about anything from the PSU to the GPU to the software.
I had sizzling sound from my notebook speakers after i paired with my iphone 4 bluetooth. I am using that cuz of the hotspot thing. I cant use wifi hotspot cuz at my place i occasionally drop wifi connection from my cell phone cuz of the channel wifi uses. At the beginning i researched net very much and found out cuz of the phone channel is my problem.
Anyway in that hotspot after pair via bluetooth every video or mp3 or game sound starts like 10-15 second sound comes with sizzling, wheezy. After that maybe 1 hour or less it happens again. I am using last updates both win and bluetooth device.
HP USB headphone are recognized as Speakers. How I can I change it ?
unable to disable speaker feature that tells name of each key hit. the key disabling feature [or place in user manual that addresses this feature]?
I went to BIOS and enabled sound, but, when i turned on computer there was sound, but it was show as headphones, and speakers aren't plugged in. Actually is opposite, headphones aren't plugged in, but just like they are, and speakers are plugged in, but they don't work.
I am using windows 8 pro x64 with an asus P8P67 LE motherboard and have a 5.1 sound system. I installed win 8 fresh and the audio was working fine. One time when I booted up, the audio sounded off. The sound was only coming out of the front left speaker. I did the speaker test within win 8 and the realtek menu. The front right speaker is being detected as the subwoofer and the rest are fine. It's the only speaker not working properly so it's like having two subs. I tried setting it to stereo, 2.1, speaker fill, ect... with the same results. I have not messed with wiring or software. Sometimes it would go back to normal but then do it again randomly. In the end, I reinstalled win 8 and it worked fine. Then suddenly, it happened again. The only difference this time is that it will not go back to normal by itself. It seems to be stuck on this "setting". I did do some research but I guess I didn't do it well enough because I could not find an answer that would work. Again, it worked fine in win 7 and sometimes in Windows 8. I have checked the wires to make sure nothing has changed and that they are connected well and they are fine. I tried changing the speaker settings and speaker fill but with no results. I don't know what else to try.
I have an HP Pavilion dm4 3050 laptop. I have spent a lot of time trying to fix my bluetooth problems since updating to 8.
I go into add a device in a the CP and the machine finds the bluetooth speakers and I add them. I then right click them-> sound settings, then see my speakers below the default device speakers. They are listed as disconnected so I right click them and try to connect but they won't connect. I have updated the Intel bluetooth drivers but the speakers still won't connect.
The Laptop originally ran on Windows 7 and I updated the OS to windows 8 and upon doing this the audio stopped completely from all audio sources (i.e. windows sounds,speakers,line- in/heaphone jack).
I tried Disable/Reenable driver,Rollback driver,uninstall/reinstall and discovered that the driver is not supported for windows 8. Upon learning this I have tried other Audio Drivers (i.e. Realtek HD Drivers etc) and no avail.
I've recently updated to Windows 8.1 and it auto reinstalled the original audio driver and still, no sound. I have also checked all Audio Codecs and still no luck even going that route.
When I play an mp3 on let's say wmplayer the volume bar will move up and down with the levels of the song that's playing as per usual but I get no sound. Volume level can be at 100% and there won't be any noise at all, no distortion, white noise, just silence.
This happens no matter how sound is being produced music, videos, games, internet, windows sounds etc... And trying to get audio from headphone jack doesn't work either.
Any solutions to the out of date driver issue I am having? Seems that the driver not being compatible with win 8.1 is where the errors began. Is there a fix for this or am I best off getting a usb audio driver and running my sound that route?
I am using Windows 8.I am facing an issue with my sound all on a sudden. The volume icon on the task bar has a red cross on it. When I hover on that it says 'No speakers or headphones plugged in' (attachment-1).
When I click on the icon I get a screen like attachment-2 which says 'The peripheral does not appear to be plugged in'.
I checked in the Device Manager to see only 'Bluetooth Headset' listed under 'Sound,video and game controllers'. Also I tried to re-install audio drivers (Real Tech High Definition Audio Driver) which is provided with the laptop to no avail. I don't know whether this is just a driver/windows problem or a hardware problem.
Can I connect the Grace Digital Matchstick Speaker Dock that I have for my Kindle Fire HD to my Asus desktop?
I am not familiar with Bluetooth and whether I need connections or software to do this.
I might need a different kind of Bluetooth Speaker System than the Kindle Fire HD dock.
I have the Aux cable that connects to MP3 players and cell phones. Do I need a (line-in) cable or something else to make it work. Or is this Matchstick speaker Dock not made for computers?
I recently upgraded to windows 8 pro 32 bit. For a month there were no problems.
But one sunday afternoon i was watching some movie on my laptop and suddenly the speakers stopped working.
I restarted it, but to no avail. However my headphones still work, and so do external speakers work.
I tried reinstalling audio drivers frm the mfg's website-Didn't work.
I tried System restore to a point where i knew my speakers were working-Didn't work.
I even tried refreshing windows 8-Didn't work.
After almost a week now my speakers still do not work and only my headphones work.
I recently purchased the Polk Hampden Speakers. For some reason, the manual volume control built into the speakers themselves doesn't affect the volume level. The only way I can adjust the volume is by using my computers volume control software (the little white speaker in the bottom left of Windows 7/8). I am fairly certain the hardware volume control isn't broken, because when I first plugged them in ( a week or 2 ago) they worked fine. It wasn't until I disconnected/reconnected everything from my computer when I installed a new desk that this problem started.
However, even the software volume control isn't working properly either. In particular, when I go into the mixer to see the volume levels for each application, if I adjust the main "Device - speaker volume" it won't alter the specific applications volumes accordingly. Like, I can reduce the main - device speaker volume all the way to zero (not muted) and the applications will still have the same volume level as they did before I adjusted it.
Finally, even my keyboard bindings to the volume control are whacky. I can still adjust the "main - device speaker" volume with the keyboard, however since this "main - device speaker" volume no longer influences the individual application speaker volume level it is pointless to do so.
I have tried disabling all other sound drivers/sound hardware, but it doesn't work.
I have tried uninstalling/re-installing the USB drivers for the Hampdens which didn't work.
I have tried restarting the Microsoft Services responsible for audio output recognition which didn't work.
I have tried downloading the audio drivers specific for my motherboard, but that didn't work.
Additionally, applications sometimes don't recognize the speakers. If I start the application before turning on the speakers the application won't recognize the speakers unless I cycle through the speaker output modes (the little button under the volume knob) and get back to USB mode. Otherwise, I have to completely restart the application. This issue isn't as big of a problem as the manual volume control not affecting the volume output of the speakers.
I have tried uninstalling all my audio devices/drivers, but this doesn't seem to work. They just instantly re-install it appears.
I have a couple of speakers I use with my Desktop computer.
On a previous set of speakers, the power button soon wore out, so with this current set, I have them on a power strip, and use that button.
I now see that the volume control on my speakers is becoming staticky / crackly.
So, I've started using the on-screen Volume control icon in the bottom right, to adjust the sound.
I have to click and open it every time though.
Is there a way to make the Volume control "on-top" all the time, or can some other program do this?
I've installed Win 8 64bit on my Acer Aspire 8930g laptop, in January. Till recently, the 5.1 sound was ok. A couple of weeka ago, the central speaker is silent, the front left & right speakers are very low, the two back speakers and the sub are ok. I tried un-install and re-intall all audio drivers (Realtek HD audio & Nvidia digital audio) but the problem remains.
However I am experiencing problems with the sound. It just doesn't appear to be working, despite the volume being turned up to the max. The problem usually fixes itself briefly after a restart but it then cuts out after time.
None of the playback devices are muted. When I try testing the speakers, I get an error message saying "Device in Use: Please close any applications using this device for playing audio" - however, there doesn't appear to be any device using the speakers.
I've upgraded to windows 8 from xp with a clean install, but I can't seem to get the audio working, I've manually gone thro device manager and up dated everything in there and its telling me all drivers are up to date. My speakers are plugged into the green 3.5mm socket and are powered by the usb connection.

GM Set to Revive Hummer Brand With Electric Truck and SUV
A modified electric Hummer H1 sport utility vehicle on display at the Kreisel Electric GmbH research center and battery assembly plant in Rainbach, Austria, on Oct. 9, 2017. (Lisi Niesner/Bloomberg News)
General Motors Co. is moving forward with plans to revive its polarizing Hummer brand, this time as an electric truck instead of an emblem of gasoline consumption, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Detroit automaker plans to debut a pickup around 2022 with boxy styling cues reminiscent of the Hummers of yore, one of the people said. GM is considering selling the battery-powered truck in existing dealerships under the marketing name "Hummer by GMC," the people said.
If the company follows through with that plan, it would address the two biggest problems that doomed Hummer 10 years ago: its gas-guzzling image and its costly network of stand-alone showrooms.
Bloomberg first reported in June that GM was mulling the Hummer brand's return as a line of electric vehicles. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier Jan. 10 that the automaker has decided to move forward with the plan.
GM bought the Hummer brand in 1998 and sales of the vehicle peaked in 2006 before declining precipitously at the end of that decade as gasoline prices soared, hurting demand for the 10-miles-per-gallon Hummer H2. The company halted sales in 2010.
Hummer's second wind is part of GM's $3 billion investment in its Detroit-Hamtramck factory in Michigan, part of a deal with the United Auto Workers late last year. The automaker also is building a plant with LG Chem Ltd. to make battery cells for electric vehicles in Ohio.
In addition to the pickup, GM also has a large sport utility vehicle in the works for Hummer. It will be produced soon after the truck if the brand relaunch proves successful, the people said.
To drum up interest in the long dormant brand, GM plans to announced its return with a Super Bowl commercial starring LeBron James, one of the people said.
The electrified Hummer project comes as GM is looking to transform itself from a conventional, gas-powered-vehicle maker into what Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra calls an "all-electric future." The automaker is one of several rushing to produce commercially viable electric-powered models in a segment that remains small, but is expected to see faster grow this decade.
