I broke a few balls in 2 of my mags today and want to know if I can simply throw my mags through water or do I have to open them up and take an hour of my time putting them back together. The only thing worrying me is if I rust the springs.

about once every 2 months or a dirty game I take every single magazine I have a part and clean them by hand with a toothbrush. Takes me about 45 mins or so to do 15 mags. Its not that hard once your use to opening the mags and knowing how to put them back together. Id rather take the time off the field to fix it then have it go down in the field because I didnt. |

Use compressed air to blow dry them after washing them to ensure you get the water out and the spring will be fine.

Some Implications of Cutting Education Funding in Washington State
I am a teacher who could lose his job in the current round of state budget cuts to education. I teach struggling readers, and I-728 money has, in the past, partially funded my job. I suppose that some people will automatically dismiss what I write here because my job is on the line. However, I have as much right to my perspective as anyone, and I might even offer some insight that one whose job isn't on the line lacks. Nevertheless, to keep from alienating potential readers, I will be as factual as I can be. In the process, I want to present some data--data I don't see anyone discussing anywhere--that I think will shed some light on the possible implications of cutting education funding in Washington State.
According to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction website, Initiative 728 is a voter-approved initiative that was intended to provide "funding to implement education reform and improved student learning." Initiative 728 money is commonly thought to have the purpose of reducing class sizes. However, I-728 is intended for much more than that. The six allowable uses of the funds are to:
The funding sources have been:
The funding history of I-728 is complicated, but one thing that stands out is the one of the funding sources in the original provisions for I-728 no longer exists. According to Funding Washington Schools, since 2005 funds from the state lottery have been directed instead to the Education Construction Account (ECA). One of the questions I've pondered is whether directing state lottery funds back to I-728 is a viable option for preserving some of the services the initiative has funded in the past. In the meantime, I want to consider the current budget picture and what impact the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act might have on it. The Seattle P-I has reported that the current budget deficit for the biennium has widened to $8.3 billion. Governor Gregoire, in her original budget proposal, proposed a 21% cut in the $732.9 million Student Achievement Fund (SAF) that funds I-728 outlays to the school districts. Since the governor's proposal, the revenue picture has worsened considerably. Sen. Margarita Prentice, D-Renton, has raised the idea of a tax referendum to salvage specific programs, including those funded by I-728: Prentice said the Democratic governor, who has pledged not to increase taxes, doesn't like that idea, but the Legislature could put a tax referendum on the statewide ballot via a majority vote in both the House and Senate, without Gregoire's signature. At this point, the obvious question is: won't the Obama stimulus package, or the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, fix everything? Why do we need new revenue? Sen. Prentice's response is that the federal economic stimulus plan signed Tuesday by President Barack Obama will provide some relief, but it won't bail out the state budget. State and federal budget matters are arcane, to say the least. However, I don't think we average citizens should be deterred from examining the numbers ourselves and trying to make sense of them. The Congressional Research Service has broken down what the possible outlays of grant money will be to the states and school districts. The best overview I could find of what the State of Washington will receive in education is contained in this chart. Here is a summary of what Washington could receive in 2009:
The chairwoman of the state Senate education committee, Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, has indicated that she understands that deep cuts in I-728 money could result in eliminating classes that help students catch up academically and pass the 10th grade WASL. Indeed, this is already under consideration in the Seattle School District. Passing scores on the Reading and Writing WASL are a graduation requirement in this state. Students can take 10th grade WASL exams in subsequent years, but students cannot receive a high school diploma unless they pass the exams by the time they leave school. The loss of academic support classes will affect some student populations more than others. I will concentrate on reading because that is the subject I understand the most. According to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction website, here is selected breakdown by group of students who didn't pass the 10th grade Reading WASL:
The percentage of these students in Seattle Public Schools varies from year to year, but according to the 2008 district profile, the percentage of students with limited English proficiency at all schools is 12.3%. At the high school level, it is 10.8%. One of the questions I've been pondering is what happens to Seattle Public Schools stated strategic goals if its academic support classes for high school students disappear. For example, in the 2006-2007 school year, 78% of students passed the 10th grade Reading WASL. The goal for the 2012-2013 school year is 95%. In Seattle Public Schools, the Reading WASL pass rate among students with limited English proficiency was 44.7% in 2006-2007. As impressive as these numbers are when you consider the challenges these students face, there is still room for improvement. No plan to reach a 95% pass rate for the Reading WASL is realistic if it doesn't foresee boosting the pass rate among students with limited English proficiency. If academic support classes for these students are dropped, how viable are the district's strategic reading goals? As we all know by now, State Superintendent Randy Dorn is planning to replace the WASL with a different graduation exam equal in rigor. But my question is: how do we expect students with limited English proficiency to pass any reading graduation exam without academic support classes? These students may continue to receive instruction in English Language Development (ELD) classes. The academic support classes in reading were meant to give students extra instruction--something deemed vitally important when they're faced with passing the 10th grade Reading WASL before leaving high school. Among my largest concerns about the proposed cuts in I-728 funds is not only that the Reading WASL pass rate will go down, but also that the graduation rate will go down. In Seattle Public Schools, the on-time graduation rate in the 2006-2007 school year was estimated at a dismal 62%. The five-year graduation rate was an equally dismal 66%. What would it say about us, the citizens of Washington State, if those graduation rates went down during the prolonged budget crisis we can expect over the next several years? What would be the societal cost of a new wave of young people who are frustrated in their efforts to graduate from high school? What would be the cost, to us and to them, of young people who despair of their own futures because they see no avenue for pursuing a college education in our state? Many of the young people in my classes took seriously Barack Obama's message of hope--what happens to their sense of hope if their ambitions are frustrated by budget cuts that affect their education but not the education of their more affluent peers? After all, no one is talking about cutting advanced classes for the academically fortunate students in our schools. In fact, in Seattle Public Schools, quite the opposite is true: more advanced class are being offered than ever. This is a very good thing, in my view, and I welcome the opportunities that these classes open up for large numbers of our students. I just want everyone to have the chance to catch up academically and enjoy the intellectual development that students experience in advanced classes. But if some students are given the chance and others are not, then what kind of institutional humiliation are we imposing on an entire class of students and their families? Do we really want to turn public education into a vehicle for preserving privilege? What are the consequences of an educational system that encourages those who are ahead to get more ahead and those who are behind to stay behind? Do we really not know where that leads? Have we learned nothing from our own history?

"Guerrilla artist" Banksy is believed to be behind a piece of street art depicting three shadowy figures eavesdropping - three miles from the Government listening post GCHQ.
The artwork, which appeared in Cheltenham on Sunday, shows three men wearing sunglasses and using listening devices to "snoop" on a telephone box.
Banksy has not yet claimed the work but it bears his hallmarks, say experts.
CCTV from a local shop captured a van pulling up on the night the artwork appeared, as Steve Knibbs reports.

'The luck of the third adventure' is proverbial.

Great trip report Sandy. The hotel was sppoky at the height of summer never mind now when its all closed down, it was going back 100 years when you stepped in that place, proper spooky! I remember doing this walk with you and Louise and the OM lot a few years ago. We went up Bennein Beag and you and Louise went up Sgurr Eilde Mor. I do still love that view towards Sgurr Eilde Mor with the lochans beneath it. J
ReplyDeleteNever Kelvin! It just aint in my nature.
Cheers Michael! I'm not sure what the tune is but the theme to "Roobarb and Custard" sounds about right.
Aye, Jamie I've been in there a few times post walk to settle up the parking fee or buy a pint (in the interests of keeping the local economy alive you understand) and everytime I did I was"unnerved" to say the least! I swear they have the same carpet as the one in the shining! When you coming up for a wild camp any way?
Aye, Scott we'll need to get up a hill soon. We can talk Dugs and Landies! Give us a shout next time you and Gordy are heading oot.
Davy, there's something nice about the smug knowledge that everyone else is at work whilst I get the hill to myself. The VR was great, I wish I'd got one years ago when I first started eyeing them up. I'll wait and see if the weather resistance holds up though. Mebbe see you in Tiso's on Fri?Aye that's the one Beth, but don't feel bad. You never made us drink the "Aqua Vitae" and I remember a great walk in with Tuna steaks for tea at the end!
It was a great wildcamp spot, I've got photies from that trip that still get re-used every now and then as my desk-top image.
When R we goin for another?

September 17 is Constitution Day! Constitution Day commemorates the formation and signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787.
To encourage all Americans to learn more about the Constitution, Congress established Constitution Week in 1956, to be celebrated each year on September 17, the date in 1787 when delegates to the Convention signed the Constitution.
In 2004, Senator Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia included key provisions in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of Fiscal Year 2005 designating September 17 of each year as Constitution Day and requiring public schools and governmental offices to provide educational programs to promote a better understanding of the Constitution.
In observance of Constitution Day 2016, Professors Christopher Schmidt and Carolyn Shapiro of Chicago-Kent's Institute on the Supreme Court of the United States will give a talk titled "Crisis on the Court? The Constitution, Politics, and the Vacancy on the Supreme Court." This event is free and open to the public. Additional event information can be found on Kent Law calendar here .

Hello, The situation is like this.. step 1:I have several excel files with the following header (name, surname, dept, tel), which i need to find the duplicates records between them and take only one (using TEL)..I merge the excel files in access using access( around 175000 records) eg if have have 2 records Gar MySurname 78 7752356, I take only one step 2: then, i have for eg let say five databases on the sql server ...( one databse has aroud 80000 records) step3: then if the record that i have in acess databases is present on sql databases(on each database) i dont take it... simple explanation, i dont want to have duplicated telephones numbers...between the databases.. Here is the way that am actually using. The excel files i import them in acess, i do u union with them, and put them in a table. Then with this table a create a groupby query and i take first on name, surname, dept... Now i got a table with no duplicates records. Then with this access table i do a left join using tel on each databases on sqlsever.. Wat an doing now takes a lot of time My question is can i proceed doing this using a DTS. can it de dynamic.. so that i dont have to modify the DTS all the time i will use.. If some activeX script are avaible, plz do help Note: Initially the number of excel files and databases may vary.. thanks in advance..
You should get workout such issues by using a staging table or database and find out the duplicate rows to delete, then use another SQLTask to import/export to base table.

Fair enough, slot price is updated in OP. ;) Members, be aware that the break price is not locked until we move to active, so the faster this fills, the better chance we have of locking us in at this lower case price!! |

MSNBC, NH Union-Leader To Host Unsanctioned Democratic Debate
"Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd and MSNBC's Rachel Maddow will host the Feb. 4 debate, scheduled five days before the state's primary, BuzzFeed news first reported.
There was no word on whether Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would participate, but former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley said in a statement he would attend the debate.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL), chair of the Democratic National Committee, has been dogged by criticism over the party's limited debate schedule, with opponents saying hosting only six debates amounts to a "coronation" for Clinton as the nominee.
Across the aisle, the Republican National Committee has announced a dozen debates so far, with 12 candidates still in the race.
Wasserman-Schultz recently defended the debate schedule in a Jan. 12 interview with Lenny, a newsletter founded by Lena Dunham. She said she was trying to prevent "an explosion of debates" like in the 2008 race, which featured 26 contests, including six head-to-head debates that pitted Barack Obama against Clinton.
BuzzFeed noted DNC rules prevent candidates who participate in unsanctioned debates from participating in the party's official debates.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Planted Aquarium
- - T5 Bulb
T5 Bulb I have been looking for a few weeks now and have finally found a T5 bulb on a website that I always use, its not 6500K but its close at 6000K. My tank at the moment holds a 15 watt standard bulb that came with the tank but the new bulb I have found is 24watt, will this be too strong for the unit? also the website doesn't show the measurements of the bulb, I don't know if a 24watt bulb will be the same length as a 15watt so hopefully someone can help me there :-) Heres the link http://www.charterhouse-aquatics.co....lb-p-1653.html |
well i know the 54 watts are 4 feet, and i think the 24s are 2 feet? but not 100% sure. i do think you'd need a t5 fixture for the bulb to run, you couldnt just switch bulbs out of your t8 or t12 fixture and expect it to work to my knowledge, but i could be wrong. |
a 24 watt T5 bulb is going to be 24 inches long and will only work with a T5 fixture. The number after the T has to do with the size (diameter) of the bulb. T8s and T12s are thinner blubs than T5s I think and the fixtures are not compatible. I'm not sure what the 15w standard bulb you have is but it sounds like it might be a power compact? I think your first step should be finding out for sure what kind of light fixture you have so you can get the right bulbs |
The T5 is the thinner bulb.It does need a T5 fixture though.T8 and T12 can use the same fixture. |
Agree, you will need to know the tube length. Watts is meaningless. But as you do not have a T5 fixture, it wouldn't work anyway as someone mentioned. The prongs at the ends are different. I am not a fan of T5 because it is very bright light, and one has to be careful selecting it. |
I thought I was finally starting to understand lol i'm not sure what length the bulb is, there is no information on the bulb or around it. |
When sizing a Tn bulb, the "n" is number of 1/8". A T8 then is 1 inch. A T12 is 1.5 inches. The T5 come in Normal Output (NO) and High Output (HO). T5 HOs are very bright. T5 NO not so much. Match the bulb type and wattage to what the fixture was made for. |

Lot 68A: Costa Rican Kneeling Female - Meticulously Polychromed
Ancient / Ethnographic From Around The World
by Artemis Gallery
27 October 2016
Louisville, CO, USA
Live Auction
Pre-Columbian, Central America, Costa Rica, ca. 800 to 1200 CE. A kneeling female pottery figure, particularly striking for its extensive decorative program. The contours of her entire voluptuous body are covered with striated, cross-hatched, circular, and spiral motifs, painstakingly and finely painted in hues of black, red, and cream. These may be interpreted as body art, perhaps body painting or tattooing, or they may represent articles of scant clothing or textiles, ie a short pant-like garment on her lower body. Also adorning her body are a multi-strand beaded necklace, armlets, ear ornaments, and a headband. Note how her femininity is pronounced, as the sculptor emphasized her ample hips, rounded bottom, and perky breasts. What's more, if you look closely, you will also see a subtly protruding womb, perhap suggesting her fertile state. An impressive figure from the ancients of Central America, particularly unique for its intricate painted embellishments. Size: 6-3/4" x 4-1/2" (17 cm x 11.4 cm).
Provenance: Ex-private Olan collection, California, by family descent, acquired 1960 to 1970.
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

I hope that Steve Breaston loses two fumbles on Sunday, but has 1,500 yards receiving and 10+ touchdowns next year (especially if he's on my fantasy team). Meanwhile, is Ryan Mundy even on the Steelers' 53-man roster? Regardless, take that Penn Hills and Gateway!

I'm concerned that my son has a secret girlfriend?
My 17 year old son has been very secretive with me lately, recently he has started to refuse to go to church with the family and tonight when I was going through his room I found a magazine with naked men in it. He obviously has a girlfriend that he is hiding from me that brought that magazine into my home and I am afraid they are having intercourse and I am greatly concerned that he is going to get her pregnant.
What should I do about this?

i have magazines with naked men in too, but i'm married so it's not gay, right?

Dang it, too late for the Gold Star!
I think that turned out to be a case of Fail Blog baiting, as it vanished once people started pointing out the person posting it to Fail Blog, must have also been the person submitting the question. :)

Subject | [Off-List] Too Many Open Files |
Date | Mon, 29 Apr 2002 10:31:57 GMT |
Heya Folks... Julian (sitting in front of me and looking bad... hi Jules) told me that one of you guys had a problem with Lucene and a "Too Many Files Open" exception... Reading back from the archives, I found this: <http://nagoya.apache.org:8080/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=lucene-user@jakart a.apache.org&msgNo=1348> Petite, I just doublechecked on my OS/X box (well, the one I'm writing you from). Definitely a ulimit problem (number of file descriptors accessable by a single process on the system). If you run "ulimit -n", you'll see that the maximum number of file descriptors usable by a single process is set to 256. You can increase it by issuing "ulimit -n 512" (for example). You can set it up easily into a shell script launching your application. If (for instance) you're building an application run with "java -jar ..." or using the Cocoa Java framework, there might be a couple of OS/X specific tricks that might be worth exploiting. Anyway my best recommendation is to use "lsof" when you get one of those "IOException"s: first of all be sure to catch it so that the JVM won't crash when you get it, then under MacOS/X you can use the "lsof" command to see what files you have opened: find out your Java VM process number (use "ps") and do an "lsof -p PID" where PID is the process number of your VM... This will tell you WHAT files you actually have opened, and it'll help you keeping your operating resources low (you sure you closed all files you don't need to use?)... Well, that's my .2c... Sorry, I'm not subbed to this list, so, keep me posted at firstname.lastname@example.com if you need some more help...

WDTF Fourth Annual Dinner/Meeting
WDTF Schedule
The second Vatican Council urged Catholics to utilize modern broadcast technologies to spread the Gospel, stating that "All members of the Church should make a concerted effort to ensure that the means of communication are put at the service of the multiple forms of apostolate without delay and as energetically as possible" and "Catholic stations should be established where it is opportune." Yet in the many years following the Council this exhortation went largely unheeded. Today that is changing.
Just a few years ago there were over 1,800 religious radio stations across the United States, but only three of these were Catholic. Now there are many Catholic stations which regularly air Catholic programming and, thanks to low power FM licenses, hundreds more may soon be going on the air. These stations have helped strengthen the faith of many Catholics and have also led many non-Catholics into the Church.
An example of one of these groups working to be a part of this 'Catholic radio movement' is Defenders of The Faith, Inc (DTF). DTF was formed by a small group of lay Catholics five years ago committed to using the media and modern means of communication to spread the teachings of Jesus Christ. Today their newsletter has hundreds of readers in West Virginia and many other states. Their website is read by Catholics throughout the United States and in many foreign countries. Their goal to bring Catholic Radio to the local area was finally achieved in January 2003.
After receiving assistance from Starboard Broadcasting they received a permit from the FCC to construct a low power FM broadcasting station in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia back in 2001. Starboard is a non-profit Catholic postulate organized and run by lay men and women. They own and operate community Catholic radio stations throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota. In addition to assisting DTF, they have helped many other Catholic organizations in obtaining a Low Power FM license. Starboard is not an owner or operator of these stations, nor do they have control of the station's mission or agenda. They really are evangelists providing assistance to small groups like DTF helping them to spread the gospel. After obtaining their permit, the first item on DTF's agenda was to start a prayer group. DTF developed their own prayer card and mailed it out to everyone asking for prayers. It went to every reader of their newsletter and everyone else who had distribution lists.
They then began the job of raising funds for the equipment. They needed approximately $20,000 just for the hardware. The next item on the agenda was planning the location and installation. There were several choices to be made based upon optimum broadcast area, costs, and time. They only had 18 months to get their station up and running before the FCC revoked the building permit. They, did as many other low power FM stations were doing, rented space in the local radio station. They were able to use an old satellite antenna that required rebuilding for receiving input signals from Starboard, and they used the station's existing 80 foot tower to mount their transmitting antenna.
DTF obtained volunteers for doing the engineering, the equipment assembly, and the installation. They were up and running two months ahead of schedule thanks to these volunteers and a lot of prayers.
Defenders of The Faith, Inc, operating as WDTF-LP and broadcasting at 107.9 FM, provides 24 hour programming from Starboard Broadcasting as well as providing local public service announcements to their area. Their operating expense runs about $700 per month provided by 'community supporters' who are recognized on the air several times per day. Their broadcast area includes Berkeley Springs, West Virginia as well as Hancock, Maryland and even parts of Pennsylvania and Virginia. Reaction to the station has been very positive from both the lay people and the clergy.
Footnote: Starboard is the first radio network to be approved by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops as a national media outlet. They have chosen to call their programming relevant radio™ – a new format of Catholic talk radio designed to bridge the gap between faith and everyday life by providing timely programming relevant to today's world. Starboard also provides live streaming audio via the web at www.relevantradio.com
Fourth Annual Dinner/Meeting May 1, 2008
Our fourth annual Dinner/Meeting was held at Maria's Garden and Inn in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia and began at 7 PM. All members of the Defenders of the Faith, Inc. and supporters of the WDTF-LP radio station are encouraged to attend these meeting.
The meeting began with an invocation by Father Edward Brienz. Father Brienz is from the diocese of Youngstown, Ohio and has been a long term supporter of our radio station efforts here in Berkeley Springs and Hancock. Several years ago he was assigned to take charge of the catholic charities effort in New Orleans after Katrina. He worked to help rebuild that area and also managed a national campaign to recruit construction volunteers from all parishes across the country. He has interesting stories to tell of his experience. We were blessed to have him in our midst. He has been an inspiration to all of us in our work for the Lord. Father, as usual, gave an inspirational invocation.
A buffet dinner, provided by one of our sponsors Peg Perry, was enjoyed by all.
Dinner was followed by some great music by Valerie Von Fange. Valerie has been performing as a soloist and in musical groups for over 25 years. Her unique style of keyboarding allows her to play tunes from the '20s to present, capturing styles such as country, oldies and inspirational. Valerie had two hits in the top ten of Catholic Songs: A Hymn to Him for Easter/Alleluia and Psalm 123 for Adoration. Both were in the National Catholic Register and both are from the Steadfast Love CD. She entertained everyone with her great selection of music and especially her sing-along songs.
Father Edward Brienz closed the dinner with more encouraging and inspirational words citing the importance of Catholic Radio.
The business meeting emphasized "where we are now and where we going". Carol Ambrose gave a brief status report about our radio station in Berkeley Springs and our relationship with the Diocese, Relevant Radio, Catholic Radio Association and Defenders of the Faith, Inc. Marion Thomas gave a brief summary of the current status of our sister station in Hancock and other activities. Jim Fritz provided a summary of the other area of interest pertaining to Defenders of the Faith, Inc. emphasizing that membership is important!! The meeting ended with a vote on new officers. The following are excerpts of the talks.
Carol Ambrose Did anyone get to see Pope Benedict, this past month? He emphasizes Catholic Radio as an important tool for evangelization. How wonderful that we are employing this tool, with the help of all of you. And non-Catholics as well as Catholics listen and support us financially.
As you've listened to WDTF, perhaps you've had ideas regarding additional local programming. Already in place are: Praise Ye the Lord –Alan Jemison Around the Kitchen Table–which I host The Carol and Alan Show, which includes interviews with Deacon John Locke, as well as numerable other members of our community
Karen and Kids Catholic Answers – We rebroadcast two hours each week. An important player in California visits our area to visit her son J. Wakelin. Encore Presentations of these shows are aired on WDTF, in addition to our original broadcasts.
As a member of the Wheeling/West Virginia Diocese we did obtain permission of our bishop when we became operational four years ago.
Our programming consists almost entirely of Relevant Radio's programming with the exceptions previously mentioned.
We are a member of The Catholic Radio Association (CRA), based in Birmingham, Alabama - Mother Angelica's home. I had the rare opportunity of shaking her hand and thanking her for her commitment to her original goal of broadcasting Catholic programming around the world. It's been more than 25 years ago that her dream came true, and blossomed.
Some members of CRA don't yet have a station up and running; therefore, we are committed to supporting some of them. In Morgantown and Front Royal, we've offered prayer, ideas, expertise, and encouragement.
Our parent organization, Defenders of the Faith, is based right here in Berkeley Springs; many of you are members. Without them, we would not exist. It was they who obtained our broadcast license. Jim Fritz will tell us more about the Defenders, this evening. Marion Thomas, our President, will now give us the status of or sister station, Splendor of Truth Radio in Hancock, Maryland
Marion Thomas – President
After six months of rushed and frantic attempts to make our deadline to get Splendor of Truth Radio up and running in Hancock, Maryland, we officially went on the air on Divine Mercy Sunday in April 2007. Our joy was short lived because we began to hear reports that some neighbors were getting static and radio interference at home. We began the process of investigating and evaluating this problem. We talked to people, listened to their radios and then bought more sophisticated radios to the problem areas to see if they worked better. There were about 12 homes involved, but we discovered that there was a real problem. It should not have happened this way-but it did. The local newspaper and several irate citizens followed our dilemma with gusto. We attended Town Council meetings and faced some very vocal and unhappy citizens who, interestingly enough, actually had not been individually affected by the problem. We asked for, and obtained, permission from the FCC to cease broadcasting until we solved the problem. The FCC had already received a complaint from one angry gentleman and thus they were already aware of our problems and granted our request.
It was wonderful to discover that God had a special plan and a much better site in store for us. We were able to lease this property and notified the FCC requesting a location change. However, because our site was less than 2000 feet from our very small, local private airport, the Federal Aviation Administration informed us that we needed to ask for an aeronautical study to determine if our 40 foot tower would cause a problem to the four pilots in the area. It was a little miracle that this study was accomplished in about a month. We were told we needed to light our tower and paint it-an achievable solution. As of today we are waiting until May 15 to hear if there are any objections to our new site. The FCC will then make their decision…and then it will be "Onward Christian Soldiers"! Never give up!
Jim Fritz – Executive Director
In order to keep my talk short I have provided a handout of the Executive Report that is available to everyone each month.
Carol has covered the radio station quite well. We are operating in the black which is good. We are providing four hours of non-Relevant Radio programming. We can always use more volunteer help.
Our newsletter, The Defender, has an audience of 550 and growing. It has also been in publication for over 10 years and is read in more than 35 states. We have shifted from a short monthly publication to an expanded quarterly version. Our Defender is at times hard hitting, but it is accurate. Each issue is reviewed by at least two priests. The three priests on our board are Fathers Pavone, McAfee, and Parker. These are all nationally known orthodox priests.
Our website www.thedefender.org is basically an online version of our newsletter. We encourage you to visit us on-line and review all of the available information. The number of readers is significant. We have had responses from all over the US and from several foreign countries. We have made significant technical improvements in our website during the past year. The main advantage of the website is that it is included in the major Internet search engines. Our newsletter and website have received a 'Fidelity Green Light Award' from CatholicCulture.org for excellence in Catholic Fidelity.
We are in good standing with the Catholic Media Coalition and this is an asset as far as information coming to us and information being disseminated by us.
What's next? We have made great gains in the past few years and with your help we will make even more gains in the near future. This can be:
So what can you do?
The meeting continued with a voice vote on the nominations of for the positions of Vice President and Treasurer. Curtis Perry was nominated for Vice President and Laura Haber was nominated for Treasurer. Both were elected by voice vote.
Meeting was adjourned at 10 PM

ATI 5870+5850 CrossFireX
I've been playing around with two mismatched GPU's in CrossFireX. Namely a reference model HD5870 from Asus and a custom PCB HD5850 from XFX. Perhaps not the most common setup, as most would much rather go for two identical cards. But if you happen to stumble upon the odd card, then why not give it a try, right?
Hardware & Software
Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P
AMD Phenom II x6 1090T BE
Kingston HyperX LoVo 1866 MHz 2x2Gb
Asus ATI Radeon HD5870 1Gb and XFX ATI Radeon HD5850 1Gb
Chieftec 1200G-DF
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Catalyst 10.6 + 10.6 CFX profiles
System settings remained the same for all runs.
Asus HD5870 to the left and XFX HD5850 to the right.
Below you'll find a few game runs together with 3DM06 and Heaven Benchmark. For the game benchmarks I used Fraps to record 30 seconds worth of data (MIN, MAX and AVG FPS) while navigating a set route in-game. The average values where then calculated from multiple runs, which is shown in the charts. I included the results from a single HD5870 as well, for reference.
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Single player level Upriver
1920×1200 / DX11 / Max quality / 4x MSAA / 16x AF / HBAO
Half Life 2
Single player level Water Hazard
1920×1200 / DX9 / Max quality / 8x MSAA / 16x AF
Left 4 Dead 2
Single player campaign The Passing, chapter 3: Port
1920×1200 / DX9 / Max quality / 8x MSAA / 16x AF
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat
Single player campaign, indoor and outdoor environments in Pripyat.
1920×1200 / DX11 / Max quality / 4x MSAA / 16x AF
3D Mark 06
Default settings
ATI HD5870 + HD5850 CrossFireX
Heaven Benchmark 2.0
1920×1200 / DX11 / High Shaders / Normal Tessellation / 4x AF
ATI HD5870 + HD5850 CrossFireX
Final Thoughts?
Visible gains in all tested games and benchmarks, so no doubt its a viable option running mixed cards. But would have been interesting to see how this setup would stack up against two 5850′s. I'd still recommend running matched cards where possible. But as mentioned at the top, if you happen to have an extra card just lying there collecting dust or get the chance to get one real cheap, then go for it!
