WHAT'S HAPPENING NEXT? HANG ON TIGHT! -- JUST A MINUTE RADIO for Monday 110228

            Howdy Folks… how was *your* weekend?

 

            Mine was filled with ‘suspense.’  I was trying to figure out  for a couple of days how to get an ‘errant’ application of BIG TIME ECHO CHAMBER that stuck itself to all my audio files. I didn’t know how that came about – so you can imagine the conundrum that caused in my one many production crew… [me]!

 

I’ve got a new dual element condenser mike operating now... and trying to experiment with several different “settings” to achieve some sound improvement --  I managed to apply ‘echo’ to all the audio files in my current batch. That really messes up the files.  Makes them unusual to use since I am not pretending to do my JAM (Just A Minute) program in a cave… or in this particular case an echoing ‘sewer pipe.’

 

            I guess that might come in handy if I was doing a “Count of Monte Christo” drama or rescue broadcast from Bat Cave ,NC… -- but it bungled up all the audio I have on file.. and I wasn’t about to let that stand go by the board.  Trouble is I didn’t know what I did to make it happen … so it was BIG difficulty finding out how to get rid of it.  (This seems to have been a recurring occurrence with a computer ‘non-geek’ like me.)

 

            In any case my brilliant 20-something granddaughter was here anyway for a Sunday afternoon dinner – and between the two of us (me trying to remember what I did to get in this mess) and she applying her computer age skills to the problem at hand – we got things back to a semblance of normalcy.

 

            So – perhaps you’ll notice the audio difference … perhaps not… we’ve made a change in the quality of the microphone pick-up here in my ‘modest’ home recording studio.  If you have a suggestion to offer… drop me a line using the e-mail address (n4zhk@arrl.net) below and let me know what you think – or offer any suggestion you care to.

 

            Meantime we still have news of riots that went on through the weekend… in the Middle East and in Wisconsin.  [How did we manage to get caught up in that bon-fire?]  So… perhaps one of these days we’ll get a shot at some normalcy around the Mediterranean – and it could be well-wished for Madison, WI too.

 

            Not much use in me offering opinion about either end of that problem… Although I do think the suggestion for Christians to be *praying* about solutions and for the folks who are suffering and have sustained losses of loved on in those zones where life has been lost – would be welcomed.  

 

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

WHAT’S HAPPENING NEXT? HANG ON TIGHT!

            Just a Minute: -- Pollster Frank Luntz’s survey of union members finds 80% chose Right to Work – giving individuals opportunity to pay or not to pay union dues. However, John Lynch, Democrat Governor, of New Hampshire says he will veto any such legislation.

          Newly elected Wisconsin GOP Senator, Ron Johnson -- who sits on the Senate Appropriations and Budget Committee -- making his first trip to Washington, says he can’t believe the White House’s lack of leadership on entitlement reform.

          Johnson says: (quote) "There are way too many who don't understand how urgent the problem is -- … We need a Nixon-to-China moment. … [“Someone] from the party of entitlements [needs] to step forward. Nobody is stepping forward."

          The case for the federal government cutting spending to boost economic growth isn’t often heard in Washington. Mr. Johnson is a new voice in town.

          So we’ve got partisans on either side trying to keep the country afloat – or run it aground.

          Once more, we need to seriously ask Bible believers to bring these matters before the Lord. He will answer!
