My church collects toiletries to make "care" packages for local (often homeless) undocumented workers. I will recommend that we promote saving all these partially used personal care items for this purpose.

* In AC3 Filter, change the default audio renderer from direct sound to wave out *

This worked for me. I had the problem of the volume getting louder when i skipped the playing music track foward or backwards a bit.

Thankies ;)

Hi,
About soap recycling . . . the Hilton Walt Disney World has a year old article on the web which mentions their soap recycling. There is a contact name attached with the online article, Jeff Prather, (321) 229-3862. Perhaps you could contact him about what they do specifically.

Or you could contact the state of Florida about their Green Lodging Certification program, they might be able to offer assistance.

TLS configured via httpcfg, but avoid client certificate check

Harold Pul — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 13:15:00 GMT

Dear Martin,

I am preparing a WCF application running as a stand alone service. I want to have transport SSL security, but the client certificate doesn't need to be checked, because I want to check it in the application code myself.

I was trying several options of the httpcfg, like "Client cert not verified for revocation" and "No client cert usage check". The only error I got back with a wrong or expired certificate was: 403(forbidden): The HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'.

Do you have a suggestion on how to solve my problem?

Thanks In advance,

Harold

Wow. I found each and every one of these comments enlightening. I am a GM at a hotel and I too am looking for an eco friendly solution to recycling our old soap bars. I understand the sanitary issue completely. Who would want to use a bar of soap that someone else may have been washing their private parts with. I hate to be blunt about it but it's true. And the other thing is no matter if you put sign up in the room some guests won't think to take a half used soaps home. Why would they? Most people like things new, they don't like used stuff, that's just the ways it is. When I stay at a hotel I bring my own soaps, lotions and shampoos. Whatever I don't use can be passed on to another guest. But if anyone has any idea what to do with used soaps, shampoos and lotions please let me know. I would love to participate in something a little more eco friendly for my hotel. Anything sure beats what we're doing right now, which is tossing them in the trash, sad but true. paradisekepr@msn.com.

In AC3 Filter, change the default audio renderer from direct sound to wave out. Also if you have ventrilo installed, it changes the default audio renderer.

If you have a microphone plugged in, try to remove that and see what happens. I removed mine and it is ok now.

If you moved to XAML, then may I suggest changing the title of this blog into something more appropriate ?

Maybe ... bunnytalk ??

And Quiet Mode if off. Tried enabling and disabling it again but nothing helps.

I have the same problem. In WMP the sound volume level lowers sporadically within a song, which can be really frustrating at times. Played in another software player on the same machine everything sound nice. Would like to use WMP though.

I have a slightly different problem - it's always trying to keep the sound at the same volume. So it plays softer parts of songs louder than it should be and louder parts softer than should be. Any solutions?

U can try to disable Quiet Mode in Windows Media Player.

I am having the same trouble, but I have a dual boot system with Media Player 9 on both Win ME and Win XP. The fluctuations only occur on the XP OS. The problem does not happen with WinAmp only with Media Player. I didn't see a solution to this in the posts, and I am still looking for an answer.
