Magazines - How many do you really need?
So, you buy a semi-automatic rifle or pistol. It comes with a couple of magazines. How many "spare" magazines do you really need per gun? I am not suggesting that people should be legally restricted to some number of magazines - that's not where I want to head with this discussion.
For example, if I purchase an EAA Witness Match 9mm with a couple of 19 round magazines, how many more will I really need for the life of the gun? Do magazines really tend to wear out faster than say: firing pin, recoil spring, slide stop etc? What about for competition - how many magazines do you typically use in one handgun competition? Rifle competition? |

Depends on how much loading you want to do at the range. It's nice to load a bunch of mags at home and spend range time shooting rather than loading.

That's how many I was issued for my service pistol and needed for qualification. No less than 3 are carried on duty. 5 for USPSA. Being as magazines are the major cause of malfunctions, particularly in ARs, I consider them to be somewhat disposeable.

I usually have several magazines. For the M1A and LR308, I have 10.
I usually have 4 or more for the handguns. That means if you have several 1911 style, you could end up with a lot of money in magazines. It is nice to take enough so that you can shoot more and load less. Lately, I have bought more large magazines for my Glocks. You never know where this is all going.

I like to have about 4 or 5 when I go to the range. And if I bring multiple guns I dont have to spend much or any range time at all loading magazines, I can do that at home.

The optimal number for me is 5 per pistol: 1 loaded with SD ammo, 4 in the range and practice rotation. I have a system to periodically change the SD mag so my mags will all wear evenly. For the couple of pistols in my safe that serve purely as range toys, 4 will do.

I like to have three minimum per gun. I'm thrifty, so I load at the range to save ammo. Even if a mag holds 16 rounds of 9mm, I load only 10, and do that five times. It's fun to practice inserting the mag, drop the slide release, decock, etc.. Now 22lr is a different story, I still load at the range, but don't mind shooting a lot of it.

Our local range where our IDPA club meets has three bays; we typically run two rounds in each bay, so that is six stages per match. Each stage may require up to three magazines, so...
If I want to load beforehand, and not have to load during a match, that would potentially mean 19 magazines (18 for 6 stages x 3, plus a "Barney mag" for topping to 8+1 in CDP or SSP if I run a P7; my CZ does not need Barney's to get 10+1, so I would need 18 if using it). I usually bring 10 (3 x 3 plus 1 Barney, or 9 if using the CZ) and reload between stages while the ROs move their targets around for their next scenario. At my old club, we would help with that, but at this one they like to surprise us. Last edited by MLeake; January 8, 2013 at 11:07 AM. Reason: Stages vs rounds |

Separate from gun control concerns - I go with Mleake's theory of easy match preparation. Same with speed loaders for my revolvers.
I have enough for two mags per stage and reload a couple for extras if needed. I also have one for a download stage. Same with carbine.

I pay per hour for range time, so for me having six or seven magazines makes sense. I can load everything up at home and spend my range time shooting.

I can see the need for more for competitions and ranges.
I have to drag all of my stuff through 300+ yards of dense mesquite to get to my shooting spot so I take one mag per gun that I intend to shoot. Targets, tables and all the stuff gets humped in and out, so I trim the fat wherever possible. |

For carry guns, I always have at least one spare - see "stoppage clearing."
I prefer to have at least three, as I find that a dual mag carrier on the weakside nicely balances the gun on my strongside. Add in spares, and even without competition an argument can be made for half a dozen or more. |

My M&P9 came w/ 2 17rnd mags, with the talk of mag restrictions I went to Smiths site to purchase two 30rnd pmags for my AR and then also decided to get one more 17rnd mag for my M&P9, had i not ordered the AR mags I prolly wouldnt have ordered the pistol mag. I have three mags for may P99QA (had two but couldnt find one so i bought one and then of course found the other one inside a month) I primarily use the original mag (since for a time I only had that one) and it has over 5k through it, it does feel "different" than the other two mags w/ much less use. The follower seems to pivot more, dont see any issue w/ the feed lips.

I like as many as I can get good deals on.
I like to load my mags at home and with centerfire I only take the loaded mags. When I run out of centerfire then I switch to .22. The only extra ammo I take with me is .22 so I can shoot longer. I just shoot at the range and have my CCW, I carry the one mag for the CCW. |

I usually have at least five per gun, sometimes more.
My main concern is future availability should I need them. Not from a legal standpoint, but from a "holy cow, they discontinued that model and magazines are $200 on eBay!" standpoint. Been there.

Good point, Tom Servo, and precisely why I have thirteen P7 mags and may acquire a few more.

Overseas, I had eight for the M4 and three for the M9. One was always unloaded and taken apart for cleaning and to "rest" the spring. The remaining seven and two represented the combat load for the weapon.
At home, I don't need this many. I make do with two. If there were a ten round limit, I'd probably get one more for the AR-15 so I had three ten round magazines. |

This post got me thinking. I may need to get a couple more for my CZ. If one wears out or gets lost, I'd only have one left.

Need? You only 'need' 1, if you desire to shoot the weapon.
Want? Completely different story. I have close to a dozen for my G23 and about the same for my AR and SKS* *technically they're stripper clips but you get the point....

I really need to get a few more for my USP. They where difficult to find before, seems like mission impossible now. I had always balked at the $30-$40 cost, I would gladly pay that now for a full capacity one!
I actually found 2 online and ordered them as quick as possible, only to get an email a week later saying they didn't have any left. I suppose I could just order a couple gimped 10 rounders but that to me is like admitting defeat. |

Applying game theory to automated negotiation
With existing technology, it is already possible for personal agents to schedule meetings for their users, to write the small print of an agreement, and for agents to search the Internet for the cheapest price. But serious negotiation cranks the difficulty of the problem up several notches. In this paper, we review what game theory has to offer in the light of experience gained in programming automated agents within the ADEPT (Advance Decision Environment for Process Tasks) project, which is currently being used by British Telecom for some purposes.

The Kooples
Established in 2008, Paris-based contemporary label The Kooples takes its name from the English word for "couples," and indeed features real-life lovers and partners in its ubiquitous, eye-catching advertisements. Marrying (wink, wink) the idea of borrowing from a lover's closet with core sartorial tenets like polished tailoring and snake-hipped, rock ?n' roll chic, The Kooples creates pieces for a modern, inspired downtown darling. Founded by brothers Alexandre, Lauren and Raphael Elicha (themselves the sons of Comptoir des Cotonniers' founders) The Kooples has gained an enviable foothold in the fashionsphere in very short order. Renowned bespoke Savile Row tailor Norton & Sons creates The Kooples' shirt, suit and coat patterns, lending the label's typically slick pieces a healthy dose of British heritage cool. Clean lines, androgynous styling and vintage influences from style stalwarts like Jane Birkin and Keith Richards consistently inform the elegant-meets-edgy collections.

CEDAR HILL, Texas (AP) — Police in suburban Dallas say a homeowner has shot and killed an intruder who broke in late Christmas Eve.
Chris Knox, an attorney for the homeowner, told The Dallas Morning News (http://dallasne.ws/1aa9E5z ) the intruder entered the Cedar Hill home through a bedroom window just before midnight Tuesday. Knox says the homeowner's deadly actions were justified and "completely protected under Texas law."
The Morning News reports the intruder, identified as 31-year-old Joshua Slaven, was the son of Cedar Hill Mayor Rob Franke.
Franke lives a couple of blocks away and Slaven had been involved in an altercation last month at his home.
Court records show Slaven was arrested on a misdemeanor assault charge and an emergency protective order was issued.
Cedar Hill is about 20 miles southwest of Dallas.

Flames of Passion Avens
Geum 'Flames of Passion'
Height: 15 inches
Spread: 12 inches
Hardiness Zone: 5
Other Names: Chilean Avens
Group/Class: Piet Oudolf Selection
An exciting variety that gives a summer long display of small, rounded, semi-double scarlet flowers held upon deep red stems; great plant for the front of borders or mixed containers; foliage is evergreen in mild winter areas
Ornamental Features:
Flames of Passion Avens features showy crimson round flowers rising above the foliage in mid spring. The flowers are excellent for cutting. It's serrated lobed leaves remain green in color throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. The stems are dark red but aren't particularly outstanding.
Landscape Attributes:
Flames of Passion Avens is an herbaceous perennial with tall flower stalks held atop a low mound of foliage. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance perennial, and should be cut back in late fall in preparation for winter. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Flames of Passion Avens is recommended for the following landscape applications;
Plant Characteristics:
Flames of Passion Avens will grow to be about 12 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 12 inches. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 3 years.
This perennial does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder zones. This plant can be propagated by division.
This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.

The Size And Burden Of Mental Disorders In Europe
A major landmark study released today by the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) sheds new light on the state of Europe's mental and neurological health. The study finds reveal that mental disorders have become Europe's largest health challenge in the 21st century. The study also highlights that the majority of mental disorders remain untreated. Taken together with the large and increasing number of 'disorders of the brain', the true size and burden is even significantly higher.
This three-year multi-method study, published today in European Neuropsychopharmacology, covers 30 countries (the European Union plus Switzerland, Iceland and Norway) and a population of 514 million people. All major mental disorders for children and adolescents (2-17), adults (18-65), and the elderly (65+ years) are included, as well as several neurological disorders. The inclusion of the full spectrum of disorders across all age groups, examined simultaneously in a single study, is unprecedented.
The study's key findings include: * Each year, 38.2% of the EU's population — or 164.8 million people — suffers from a mental disorder.
* Mental disorders are prevalent in all age groups and affect the young as well as the elderly, revealing though differences in what diagnoses are the most frequent.
* The most frequent disorders are anxiety disorders (14.0%), insomnia (7.0%), major depression (6.9%), somatoform disorders (6.3%), alcohol and drug dependence (>4%), attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorders (ADHD, 5% in the young), and dementia (1% among those aged 60-65, 30% among those aged 85 and above).
* Except for substance disorders and mental retardation, no significant cultural or country variations were found.
* No indications for increasing overall rates of mental disorders were found, when compared with the previous comparable study in 2005, which covered a restricted range of 13 diagnoses in adults only. The notable exception is an increase of dementia due to increased life expectancy.
* No improvements were found in the notoriously low treatment rates for mental disorders in comparison with the 2005 data. Still only one third of all cases receive treatment.
* Those few receiving treatment do so with considerable delays of an average of several years and rarely with the appropriate, state-of-the-art therapies.
* Additionally, many millions patients in the EU suffer from neurologic disorders such as stroke, traumatic brain injuries, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis, cases that may have to be counted on top of the above estimates.
* As the result, disorders of the brain, as measured by disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), are the largest contributor to the EU's total morbidity burden, accounting for 26.6% of the total disease burden, covering the full spectrum of all diseases.
* The four most disabling single conditions (in terms of DALY) were depression, dementias, alcohol use and stroke.
The study also identified the critical challenges to improved basic and clinical research on mental and neurological disorders in the region. These include:
* Disciplinary fragmentation in research and practice, with different concepts, approaches and diagnostic systems.
* The marginalization and stigmatization of many disorders of the brain.
* The lack of public awareness about the full range of disorders of the brain and their burden on society.
The study concludes that "Concerted priority action is needed at all levels, including substantially increased funding for basic and clinical as well as public health research in order to identify better strategies for improved prevention and treatment for disorders of the brain as the core health challenge of the 21st century."
Principal investigator and joint first author Hans-Ulrich Wittchen says, "To address this challenge, we have to address two high priority issues. First, the immense treatment gap documented for mental disorders has to be closed. Because mental disorders frequently start early in life, they have a strong malignant impact on later life. We have to acknowledge that only early targeted treatment in the young will effectively prevent the risk of increasingly larger proportions of severely ill multimorbid patients in the future".
"Second, we have to take into account the developmental pathways of both mental and neurological disorders simultaneously. Both groups of disorders share many common mechanism and have reciprocal effects on each other. Only a joint approach of both disciplines, covering the spectrum of disorders of the brain across the lifespan, will lead to an improved understanding of the causes and improved treatments".
"The low levels of awareness and knowledge about disorders of the brain, their prevalence and burden, are a major obstacle for progress in this direction. Dramatically increased funding of research on the causes and the treatment of disorders of the brain to reach this goal is needed. In addition, a better allocation of treatment resources and improved provision of care are priority topics for the more immediate future."

How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Ibuprofen belongs to the class of medications known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is used to treat fever and mild-to-moderate pain caused by inflammation. It is believed to work by stopping the production of prostaglandins, which cause inflammation.
Ibuprofen can be used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with arthritis, menstrual cramps, sprains, strains, backache, headaches, migraine, muscular aches and pain, sore throat, cold and flu, and dental pain.
In children under 12, ibuprofen is used for fever and pain due to colds, sore throat, immunization, and earache.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
Ibuprofen by Pendopharm is no longer being manufactured for sale in Canada. For brands that may still be available, search under ibuprofen. This article is being kept available for reference purposes only. If you are using this medication, speak with your doctor or pharmacist for information about your treatment options.
How should I use this medication?
The recommended adult dose of ibuprofen is 200 mg to 400 mg every 4 to 6 hours as required. The maximum daily dose is 1,200 mg. Ibuprofen available without a prescription should not be taken for more than 3 consecutive days for a fever or 5 consecutive days for pain unless advised by your doctor. Ibuprofen is available as 600 mg tablets by prescription only.
The dose of ibuprofen for children is based on body weight and age. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for specific dosing information. Children should not take more than 40 mg per kilogram of body weight each day.
Use an oral syringe to measure each dose of the liquid, as it gives a more accurate measurement than household teaspoons.
Take ibuprofen with food or milk to minimize side effects such as heartburn and stomach upset. The suspension form should be shaken well before using.
Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store this medication at room temperature, protect it from heat and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.

- have severely reduced kidney function or kidney disease
- have severely reduced liver function or liver disease
- have severely high blood pressure or severe heart disease

April 23, 2015
Health Canada has issued new restrictions concerning the use of prescription-strength ibuprofen. To read the full Health Canada Advisory, visit Health Canada's web site at www.hc-sc.gc.ca.
Blood pressure: Ibuprofen may cause an increase in blood pressure, particularly for people who already have high blood pressure. If you are taking medications for blood pressure or are at risk of developing high blood pressure, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Fluid and electrolyte balance: Fluid retention and edema have been reported with use of this medication. Use ibuprofen with caution if you:
- are recovering from a surgical operation under general anesthesia
- have certain heart conditions (e.g., congestive heart failure)
- have high blood pressure
- have kidney disease or reduced kidney function
- have any other condition that might lead to fluid retention
Gastrointestinal problems: Stomach ulcers, perforation, and bleeding from the stomach have been known to occur during therapy with this medication. These complications can occur at any time and are sometimes severe enough to require immediate medical attention.
The risk of ulcers and bleeding increases for people taking higher doses of ibuprofen for longer periods of time. Stomach problems are also more likely to occur with alcohol use. Do not drink alcohol while taking this medication.
If you are prone to irritation of the stomach and intestines, particularly if you have had a stomach ulcer, bloody stools, diverticulosis, or other inflammatory disease of the stomach or intestines (such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease), discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Stop taking the medication and contact your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms or signs suggestive of stomach ulcers or bleeding in the stomach (black, tarry stools). These reactions can occur at any time without warning during treatment.
Heart attack and stroke: High doses of ibuprofen (2400 mg or more per day) have been linked to increased risk of heart attack and stroke. If you have had a heart attack or stroke, or are at risk of a heart attack or stroke, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Heart disease: Ibuprofen can cause fluid retention, which may make symptoms of congestive heart failure worse. If you have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
If you are taking low-dose ASA for heart health, discuss with your doctor whether you should use ibuprofen.
Kidney function: Long-term use of ibuprofen may lead to a higher risk of reduced kidney function. This is most common for people who already have kidney disease, liver disease, or heart failure; for people who take diuretics (water pills); and for seniors.
If you have reduced kidney function or kidney disease, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
People with severely reduced kidney function and kidney disease should not take ibuprofen.
Medical conditions: If you have thyroid disorders, glaucoma, or enlarged prostate, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Potassium levels: There is a risk of high levels of potassium in the blood for people who take NSAIDs, including ibuprofen. People most at risk are seniors; those who have conditions such as diabetes or kidney failure; and those taking beta-blockers (e.g., metoprolol), angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (e.g., ramipril), or some diuretics (water pills). If you experience unexplained nausea, fatigue, muscle weakness or tingling sensations, contact your doctor as these are possible symptoms of too much potassium in the blood.
Reduced alertness/dizziness: Ibuprofen may cause drowsiness, dizziness or a sensation of spinning, any of which can affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. Avoid these and other hazardous tasks until you have determined how this medication affects you.
Pregnancy: This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: This medication may pass into breast milk in small quantities. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking ibuprofen, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Seniors: Seniors appear to have a higher risk of side effects with this medication. The lowest effective dosage should be used under close medical supervision.
What other drugs could interact with this medication?
There may be an interaction between ibuprofen and any of the following:
If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:
- stop taking one of the medications,
- change one of the medications to another,
- change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
- leave everything as is.
An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.
Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

MANHATTAN — An Astoria woman died early Saturday after she and a friend tried to cross a busy street, police said.
At 3:23 a.m., Stephanie Dees, 26, and Ann Sullivan, 26, of Albany, were crossing East 14th Street near First Avenue when they were hit by a yellow cab traveling westbound, police said.
The impact threw the women into oncoming traffic, where they were hit by a second yellow cab traveling in the opposite direction, police said.
Dees was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Sullivan was taken to Beth Israel Hospital where she died two hours later, police said.
Both drivers remained at the scene, and police do not suspect any criminality.

BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY CELEBRATES ITS 13th ANNUAL GALA: THE MAGIC OF CHILDHOOD
Press Contact:
Malika L. Granville, Marketing & Communications Associate
Brooklyn Public Library
Phone: 718.230.2211
BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY CELEBRATES ITS 13th ANNUAL GALA:
(Brooklyn, NY) November 2, 2009—Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) will host its 13th Annual Gala: The Magic of Childhood on Thursday, November 12, 6:30pm-9:00pm at the landmark Central Library at Grand Army Plaza. In addition to a cocktail party and dinner, the Gala will include a benefit auction of unique trips and prizes to raise needed funds to bolster the work of BPL. This year, all proceeds from the event will go to support children's literacy programs and materials at BPL in recognition of the important role reading continues to play in the lives of children today.
"BPL's annual Gala is an exciting opportunity for Brooklyn to come together to celebrate libraries, and more importantly, ensure that they remain vibrant and relevant learning centers across the borough," said Dionne Mack-Harvin, Executive Director. "Private support generated by the Gala and other fundraising partnerships make it possible for BPL to deliver core programs and services, and develop special initiatives to reach new audiences."
"Brooklyn is a place of big bridges and big dreams, and BPL serves as the bridge to making dreams come true for kids and adults alike," said Anthony Crowell, Chair of the BPL Board of Trustees and Gala Co-Chair. "BPL has also been Brooklyn's leading advocate for children's literacy–introducing the world's first public library exclusively built to serve children, and today, operating the only mobile library for kids in New York City. The Gala will increase BPL's capacity to expand its life-enriching resources and services. "
The 13th Annual Gala will be transformed from a typical formal dinner to a festive cocktail reception and buffet, with luminary caterer Abigail Kirsch deliciously interpreting the comfort foods of childhood with chic, playful fare for the adult palate. Mixologist Doug Hecklinger has been commissioned to create a specialty cocktail–known as "The Johnny Appleseed"–exclusively for the Gala, and throughout the evening, guests will be entertained by the musical versatility of Nite-Time, New York City's premiere party band, and The Bumbys, performance artists known for delivering precise and rousing "fair and honest appraisals" of the people they meet. Guests attending the 13th Annual Gala will also have the opportunity to unwind and take part in a unique scavenger hunt throughout the Youth Wing at Central Library.
"There are many exciting elements about this year's Gala," said Nina Collins, Gala Co-Chair. "We've planned a fun-filled, sophisticated evening with great entertainment and one-of-a-kind activities that will allow each guest to experience the wonder and simple pleasures of childhood."
"What's truly magical about supporting this year's Gala," added Antonia Yuille Williams, Gala Co-Chair and Secretary of the BPL Board of Trustees, "is that BPL will be able to do more to enrich the lives and spark the imagination of the more than 600,000 youth living in the borough."
The Gala is BPL's largest annual fundraiser, drawing 400+ guests, including community and corporate leaders, cultural trailblazers, government officials, and members of Brooklyn's civic and philanthropic communities.
All proceeds from the Gala will go to the purchase of children's books and other library materials that support childhood literacy. The Gala will also benefit children's literacy programs and services at BPL, including the Kidsmobile, Child's Place for Children with Special Needs, and early literacy initiatives First Five Years and Para Los Niños.
Auction items for this year's event include a luxury vacation for a family of four to the Caribbean; drinks with two Emmy-Nominated Writers from Sex and the City; and lunch with writer Jonathan Ames, plus a tour of the set of his new HBO series Bored to Death. Guests will have their pick of these prizes and many other hot ticket items during the live and silent auctions at BPL's 13th Annual Gala.

Healing Pluto Problems
7 September 2009 7 Comments
In honour of Pluto going direct on 11 September 2009, I thought I'd share some thoughts about Donna Cunningham's book, Healing Pluto Problems, whose title I've borrowed for the title of this post.
I picked up this book on Neith's recommendation. It is not as heavy-going as Judy Hall's Hades Moon, which I've written about here and also like for different reasons. Rather, Cunningham's book contextualises Plutonian issues (deep transformation, sex, death, guilt, resentment and so on) in terms of the things one can do to mitigate their effects, whether one is the Plutonian or on the receiving end of one. And it could well be both — Plutonians tend to attract other Plutonians.
Being a Plutonian herself, Cunningham exhibits great empathy for the depth and intensity of Plutonian feelings. If there are 'problems' with being Plutonian, it is not the natures of Plutonians that are put on the line, only a lack of understanding (and resources) in wider society to address them. The book does not victimise Plutonian native either — each one is required to take responsibility for their own actions and feelings, and the author is quick to point out that the unevolved can quite easily turn their Plutonian power on others and themselves.

- - Tightening fence wire?
Tightening fence wire? Okay so we are making some small yards, and we can't seem to get the fence tight! It is woven wire. It's so frustrating. We pull and pull and it still sags! Any tips and advice would be GREAT. We don't have a tightener/whatever they're called either. And won't be able to get one for a while (we live about an hour from town! |
You will need to put stakes in the areas that sag. |
I've never found any other way other than with a tightener. Sometimes, even with a tightener, it will be kid of baggy in certain areas. For example, the top will be tight, but the bottom wires are loose, because there is a slight curve to the land. When that happens, I use one of those fence-pliers tools and make crimps in the loose wires to make them the same tension as the ones that are tight. |
Do you have 2 pieces of 2x4 about 3 feet long? Take those, stack on top of each other and drill holes through both of them. Get some long bolts and nuts. Lay one board on one side lean or lay fence over it and then lean/lay other board over fence lining up holes. Run bolts through and tighten down. Put chain around board and fasten so it makes loop and then use lawn mower or truck to pull it tight by looping another chain through the loop and attaching to tractor/mower/truck hitch. Fasten off. |
by woven wire, do you mean chain link? if it is chain link , make sure the ends are even, slide a slim pipe board etc through the links, then evenly space out some rope etc, every 2' or so, and then pull to make it even. Do not overstretch it, heat and cold will make the wire contract and expand. |
Do you have a lawn tractor? That's what my neighbor said he used to pull cattle fencing tight. Honestly, IMHO, I would start making a real fence with posts and wood. You can start with one panel on the outside of your electric fence, and add a panel at a time over a few years--if the $ is too much--then take down OR leave up the inside electric. You put the horizontal planks on the INSIDE of the posts. |

A fictional universe created by committee, where several authors write their stories while referencing each other's works, backgrounds, characters and plotlines.
Shared universes may be completely committee based, may be uncontrolled anarchies where writers can fight out differences in conception in their fiction, may be rigidly controlled by a single editor who lets others play in his sandbox, or anything in between. Often, Round Robin type stories develop where one writer writes a chapter, followed by the next, and so on, and so on....
Shared universes may be used for original settings or fan fiction, and may be private or open to the public. At their best, they can become a social activity for the participants, with associated mailing lists and chatrooms where editors and writers may meet and spend hours discussing story ideas or simply shooting the breeze.

text: WWII US Navy Pilot Survival Knife, Colonial Prov. R.I., Folding Blade & Sawblade, Original. This is a folding knife that has a 4 5/8" knife blade and a 5" saw blade. Closed this knife is 6" long. This knife was stored in the Navy Survival Vest that the pilots worn on their flight missions. This knife is marked Colonial Prov. R.I. on the left side of the main blade. The main blade has not been sharpened but the point is rounded off somewhat. The main blade has a liner lock to secure the blade in the open position. The saw blade appears to be used very little, if any at all. The black checkered plastic grips have some light scratches and dings, with no cracks or chips. The bolsters have little of their original finish remaining and have some old light surface rust. This is the later production knife without the lanyard loop on one end. A scarcely seen example of US Military knife in overall very decent condition. Condition Very Good.

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
NEW YORK — Jurors cannot be told that a former hedge fund portfolio manager fainted when federal agents first confronted him over insider trading allegations, a judge ruled Monday, saying such a ''shocking and highly disturbing'' encounter could dramatically affect someone regardless of guilt or innocence.
US District Judge Paul Gardephe banned evidence about the fainting of Mathew Martoma from a trial that begins Tuesday when prospective jurors fill out questionnaires.
Martoma is charged with persuading a medical professor to leak secret data from an Alzheimer's disease trial between 2006 and 2008, while Martoma worked at SAC Capital Advisors, the hedge fund company founded by billionaire Steven A. Cohen.
Martoma fainted when FBI agents approached him outside his home in 2011, a year before he was arrested.

2) Hardcore band from Seattle. Started in late 2007, ON came together after the recent and rapid dissolution of some of the west coast's best and hardest working bands. Having relentlessly toured with each other in separate entities, former members of Champion, Go It Alone, Blue Monday and Lights Out decided to pool their distinctive ingredients, into a gumbo of pure legitimacy.
2008 saw the self-release of their debut EP "Vital Times". A blistering mix of late 90's youth crew and Quicksand-esque groove, the EP was a definitive opening salvo, immediately memorable and totally undeniable.
After spending 2008 establishing a local presence and heading out on the road with friends Verse and Have Heart, ON went back into the studio to record the follow up to Vital Times, the recently released "Control EP." Again deciding to release the record themselves, the new material found ON expanding on both their musical direction and ideology, which in this day and age, is becoming increasingly rare. 2009 will find both EPs being re-released on 12 inch vinyl in a combined effort by Reaper Records, React Records and Powered Records, as well as additional touring in both North America and Europe.
3) Spanish Metal Band from Madrid.
4) Dark ambient duo featuring Sylvain Chauveau and Steven Hess.
5) Short-lived Melbourne noise rock band, the creative core of which went on to form Zond.
6) ON are an independent Brooklyn based duo, comprised of Naaran Barzilay and Adam Halfi.
They started their collaborative musical journey as kids in the countryside of northern Israel. Reconnected in New York in the year of 2005 and have since worked on several musical projects together. ON was founded in the year of 2010. They just released their first record, soon to be followed by an up-coming US tour. Their debut Album "Box of Costumes" is an intuitive musical exploration. A sequence of vivid images of when beauty was first recognized or rediscovered. Melodies that are telling the stories and revealing the spirit of a dreamy villager child and voices of a human waking close by the heart of the world right before the end of an era.
7) On (displayed ">ON<") were a Brighton, UK electronic act active 1997-2001. They released two singles, "Beat System" and "Meltdown", and made several compilation appearances. Read more on Last.fm.

The Belgian countryside is a peaceful setting, abounding in plowed fields, farm animals, and greener than green vegetation.
When I lived and worked in Brussels for a year several years ago, I used to ride my bicycle for kilometers, far outside the bustling city and deep into the still countryside.
It is this memorable world of Belgium's farmlands that two Belgian designers, Matthieu Mouton and Nicolas Collet, have captured in their very androgynous line of jewelry.
Matthieu, 28, and Nicolas, 29, have been friends since childhood, launching their line of jewelry just three years ago.
Based in Belgium with a studio in Paris, MoutonCollet is ironic, paradoxical, and stylishly whimsical, showing that silence is not merely golden but can be silver as well!

United Way kicked off its 2005 campaign last week with a local goal of raising $500,000, the most in the organization's history.
The goal is ambitious but realistic. There isn't a better way to help our community than donating to the United Way, and we would urge everyone to consider giving generously.
The United Way provides funding to more than 40 agencies in the county. Those agencies provide an array of health and human service functions in the Yampa Valley. Just a few of the organizations that depend on United Way funding include Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, the Northwest Colorado Dental Coalition, the South Routt Community Center, Routt County Habitat for Humanity and The Haven Assisted Living Center. The United Way helps fund the Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice. There are 11 early childhood education programs that receive United Way funding. The United Way funds Heeling Friends and youth baseball and hockey programs in Oak Creek and Hayden.
In short, virtually every agency in the county with a community service mission depends in part on the United Way.
In Colorado, cuts in state funding for health and human service functions have made local contributions more important.
"There are cutbacks in state and federal funding," said Mike Forney, campaign chairman and vice president of the Routt County United Way's board of directors. "But at the same time, the costs have been rising, and the needs have increased."
The beauty of the United Way is that it allows individuals and businesses to give in varying ways. Donors can earmark contributions to go to specific agencies or allow the United Way's board of directors to direct their funds toward agencies with specific needs. Donors can write individual checks or they can give through their companies.
It is important to note that many local companies match employee contributions to the United Way, thus doubling individual investments. Giving to the United Way through payroll deduction is one of the simplest and best ways to help.
Many businesses invite the United Way to make presentations at their companies to encourage employee contributions. This can be an effective fundraising tool.
There are those who resent the push for United Way contributions. There also are those disgruntled employees who see withholding United Way contributions as a way to express displeasure with their employers.
Such cynicism is unfortunate. Withholding contributions doesn't harm employers or businesses. Rather, it hurts children, the elderly, those with mental disabilities, the poor and others who most need our help. We should never allow the methods sometimes used to seek contributions detract from the benefits those contributions provide.
Last year, the United Way raised about $480,000, exceeding its goal by about $30,000. Of the funds raised, 79 percent went directly to Routt County agencies, and 5 percent paid for United Way events. Sixteen percent went to administration. That's more than $370,000 in direct benefits to local agencies.
United Way funds play a critical role in our quality of life. It's one of the best investments we can make in our community. Donate by sending funds directly to the United Way at P.O. Box 774005, Steamboat Springs, CO 80477 or by dropping your donation off at 135 Sixth St. As noted above, many employees can contribute through their employers.

[I]t's also the case that the multiple joint town meetings McCain proposed would be a real service to the public and that suspending the dollar chase for the duration of the campaign, as McCain but not Obama will do, would be a major step toward establishing the credibility of the election process." -- David S.

Getting to Know Obama
By David S. Broder
Washington Post
Sunday, June 22, 2008
We are barely at the beginning of the long period in which most Americans will give their first serious scrutiny to the presidential candidates and decide whether Barack Obama or John McCain will get their vote.
Americans have many questions about both men. In the Post-ABC News poll last week, only half of those interviewed said they felt they knew an adequate amount about the candidates' stands on specific issues. Voters split evenly on who would be the stronger leader, and they showed great uncertainty about which, if either, would be a safe choice for the White House.
Despite those fundamental weaknesses in the Republican position, McCain trails Obama in that same poll by only six points, hardly an impossible margin to overcome. What may be crucial in the end is whether people become comfortable with the prospect of Obama as their president.
McCain benefits from a long-established reputation as a man who says what he believes. His shifts in position that have occurred in this campaign seem not to have damaged that aura. Obama is much newer to most voters, less familiar and more dependent on the impressions he is only now creating.
That is why a pair of strategy decisions made in the past two weeks could prove troublesome for him. The first was Obama's turning down McCain's invitation to join him in a series of town hall meetings where they would appear together and answer questions from real voters -- without a formal agenda, press panel or professional interviewers.
Obama's manager initially called the idea "appealing," but nine days later, when David Plouffe got around to responding, he countered with something quite different from the 10 informal discussions McCain proposed holding before the late-summer nominating conventions. Plouffe said that in addition to the three traditional debates under official sponsorship later in the fall, there could be only two others -- one on economics on July 4 and another on foreign policy in August.
The McCain side said that few Americans would sacrifice their Independence Day holiday to watch a debate and reiterated its offer to meet Obama anywhere he wanted on any of the next 10 Thursdays.
At a news briefing last week, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs characterized that as a "take it or leave it" stance by the Republicans and suggested that discussions were finished.
At the same briefing, Gibbs and campaign counsel Bob Bauer defended Obama's decision to become the first presidential candidate since the Watergate reforms to decline public financing of his general election campaign.
Gibbs and Bauer in effect blamed McCain, saying repeatedly that he was "gaming the system" by pledging to accept public funds while saying he could not "referee" spending by outside independent groups if it occurred. In fact, McCain had been far more vocal in denouncing such groups on the GOP side than Obama was in criticizing their counterparts playing Democratic presidential politics -- even though Obama has claimed the mantle of campaign finance reformer that McCain has long enjoyed.
But it's also the case that the multiple joint town meetings McCain proposed would be a real service to the public and that suspending the dollar chase for the duration of the campaign, as McCain but not Obama will do, would be a major step toward establishing the credibility of the election process.
By refusing to join McCain in these initiatives in order to protect his own interests, Obama raises an important question: Has he built sufficient trust so that his motives will be accepted by the voters who are only now starting to figure out what makes him tick?
