How to display alt tag on image as text using jQuery

Have you ever had an image that you wanted to let a user click and display text? For example; Show hidden price? Hidden image/text game? Although most browsers support hover over the img element to display the "title", this does not work in most mobile browsers. Android allows tap and hold on the image to display the title, but iPhone does not. I've got an alternative solution. See below: <html>   <body>     <script        src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js">     </script>     <img        src="https://www.blogger.com/img/blogger-logotype-color-black-2x.png"        alt="my alt"        title="my title">     <div id="show-text"></div>     <script>       $("img").on("click", function() {         if( !$.trim( $('#show-text').html...

Panning a bag of Eureka Gold Sands 1/2 lb Ultra Rich

Image
I did a start-to-finish video while panning a bag of Eureka Gold Sands 1/2 pound Ultra-Rich Mix.  That is some great pay dirt from Gino (The Nugget King). Nice compact bag of dirt, ultra chunky gold, and who knows, sometimes a good honking bonus nugget!

PRUNSRV command fails running Java Service

If your getting the following error: Windows could not start the sample on Local Computer. For more information review the System event log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor and refer to the server specific error code 1 One thing you have to be sure is the version of prunsrv.exe is for the same platform of Java/JVM your using. ie. If your path to jvm.dll is 32-bit Java, you have to use 32-bit prunsrv.exe      If your path to jvm.dll is 64-bit Java, you have to use the 64-bit prunsrv.exe If your running on Windows and the PATH to Java contains a space, be sure use double quotes around the full Jvm path. Also, many current versions of Java do not locate the jvm.dll in the bin\client directory anymore, it may be located in the bin\server directory instead. Good Luck, Ed

You can visit his Facebook Group here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/KlondikeKlinkers/ In my getting to know him, I took a peek at his previous website and found it was a little under the weather so I volunteered to overhaul it for him and help him get a working store for the gold pay dirt he sells.  If your interested some of the BEST Gold Paydirt, big chunky pickers and excellent service take a look at his store here: http://www.klondikeklinkers.com/ If you stop by, tell Klinky that Ed sent you.

Fix Cumulative Update KB3194496 stuck or fail to install

After nearly a week of KB3194496 Windows update failing, I finally found a site that had a workaround or solution. Check out  http://sihmar.com/2016/09/29/fix-cumulative-update-kb3194496-stuck-fail-install/ The first option worked for me. I used to be setup with the "Insider Program" but disabled it due to too many updates and issues. I presume one of the insider builds must have had an update to the xbox life scheduler jobs that must be causing this to fail. Good Luck, Ed

Congratulations Nick!

I'd like to congratulate Nicholas on receiving his Private Pilot license. In 2014, we both attended Private Pilot ground school class. Once we both passed the course, he went on to pass his Knowledge exam and started on flight school lessons with JLS Aviation around the end of 2014. Nick completed most of his flight lessons and solo's by mid-year 2015 and continued prepping for his Practical Test (Flying) with an FAA examiner. He passed the exam in November of 2015. We're now looking into enrolling him in the Airline Career Pilot program at ATP School. (https://atpflightschool.com/) Congrats Nick!  We're very proud of you.

Braggfamily Minecraft Server Walmart Project

Image
Braggfamily Minecraft Server Projects Here is a little sneak peek of the Braggfamily Minecraft Server project. We are building a new storage facility for all of our supplies and loots. We figured how fitting it would be to store inside a Walmart since we shop there quite often. Nicky and I are doing the main construction and Ozzy and Arniel will swoop in to put in the finishing touches (decorating and organizing). We do all our builds in survival mode and mine and harvest all the materials.

This years Hobby!

GOLD!  There Be Gold everywhere! This years hobby for me is Gold Prospecting. As it turns out (I've known for 14 years, just haven't acted on it yet) we live smack dab in the middle of the Gold/Pyrite belt of Virginia. Within about a 2 mile radius, there are approximately 18 or so abandoned mines from the 1800-1900s. There is even an old one about 1/2 mile up the creek that runs through the backside of our property, so I'm hoping there is plenty of gold flakes and nuggets for me to find.  The land here is rich in red clay and TONS (and I do mean TONS and TONS) of quartz. There are even pieces of quartz in our yard and woods the size of some small cars. After sitting and watching the shows Gold Rush , Bering Sea Gold ,  and many other related gold mining shows, I've gotten  the itch to go out and see if we have some  on our land.  During the winter, I bought some gold pans, Classifiers (screens to filter out larger rocks), and some PAY DIRT fro...

Snowmageddon in Virginia

We've had over 5 feet of snow this season, and another storm is apparently on the way.   So much for using my new snow making machine. It's almost as if I started it up and it's been running non-stop ever since.  In case you interested in learning about snow making you can check out  http://snowguns.com/ And if your just interested in buying a snow making machine, you can check out SN Home Snowmaking . They are having an end-of-season sale. In the meantime, the kids and I have been building a huge snow hill that we have named Mount NoSnowMore we use for sledding and snowboarding down. I've got some videos up on You Tube .

It's gonna be a White Yule (or Xmas if you like)

Hey everybody .. I've done it. I've ordered a new Snow making machine from : www.snsnowmaking.com : I hope to have it in by the weekend to try it out for Yule! If you live in an area like I do and it get's cold enough for snow, but your lucky if you actually see snow 1 out of every 2-3 years worth a mention .. then check these guys out at the link above. They know how to make snow, and have over 10 years experience. I've held off buying one mainly because I figured I could build one myself. Tho, I'm really lazy and actually tracking down the proper nozzles isn't something I wanted to mess with. This will come ready to hook to my pressure washer and air compressor out of the box. If your considering buying one, I'd do it fast, they do have a limited supply and time is running out to order them by Xmas or Yule ..
