My understanding that loading and unloading a magazine is what wears out the spring the fastest. So my recommendation is to keep the mags loaded, but you can rotate them in your carrying.
The only thing I ever do with my Glock mags is keep my range mags separate from my carry mags. My range mags get dropped in the dirt and basically abused during practice and classes. My carry mags are all proven reliable and then left alone for that duty only. My carry mags stay loaded, my range mags stay generally empty. I've never seen any failure rate that points to one being better than the other.

You should definitely let them "rest" just like you raise your car on jacks to let its springs rest and take the heads off your car's engine to let the valve springs rest.
Just doing rough math...
Given a car that does 15,000 miles annually (DOT)
Googleing says we spend 540 hrs/year in our cars.
That's 27mph which is a bit slow unless you count all the time at stop lights and traffic jams. (My GPS says I have a moving average of 37 over the last 7k of operation.)
That comes out to about 1.5 hrs a day in a car going 27mph, (maybe 2,000 rpm average?)
(2,000rpm * 60 minutes) * 1.5 hrs = 13,300 spring extensions and compressions each day. every day... all year... for years...
And we're worried about a few thousand cycles on a pistol magazine? Are our springs made of taffy or sumthin'???
New mags get loaded for carry and unloaded into paper annually. Old mags get plenty of "rest" between range trips.
I mark range mags since they may see some abuse, and I don't mix them with carry mags. New carry mags do get a break in and function test period. Then they stay loaded.

Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid... Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
I keep all of my magazines loaded until I either empty them into paper or empty them to take inventory.
Magazines were designed to be loaded to what their maximum capacity is.
now, keeping ANY spring fully compressed for extended periods will damage it. this is metallurgical fact. sorry boys. NOW, i think must of this has been aleved by modern manufacturers designing floor plates and followers in such a way as that the spring never actually gets fully compressed(coils touching)so you can keep a mag fully loaded, and the spring is still not 100% compressed. that said a spring at 95% will still lose memory, but that 5% makes for a significant increase in life span.
that said i still keep my mags shy of a full load. extra load on the spring. extra PSI on the feed lips. extra PSI on the floor plate retaining mechanism. so many extra pounds of pressure are devloped in the last 15% of a springs compression. say your 15 round mag makes 8 pounds of force pushing up ten rounds. that could jump to 20 or 30 pounds of force when loaded to full cap. that's 30 pounds of force on the bottom of the slide when the mag is seated. that's 30 pounds of force again the slide rails. guns may be built to last, and metal is strong. but EVERYTHING fails, and i gaurantee that keeping 30 pounds of speperation force on the frame rails of a pistol for 20 years will help it fail. Entropic Universe, baby!

Magazines are expendables. When they wear out replace them. A good quality magazine should last years.
My rifle and pistol are tools, I am the weapon.
And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home
Let me die in a pile of empty brass."
From a Smith & Wesson Forum:
The shooting sports are full of some of the most knowledgeable and capable people you'll meet anywhere. I've been impressed consistently with the abilities of those I meet at the range to diagnose and fix a gun problem with as little as some spray lube and a cotton swab. However, sometimes a myth will creep into the folklore.
The magazine spring myth has been around for many years and is growing in popularity. It goes something like this: "You should unload your magazines when they're not in use or the spring will weaken causing failures to feed." This has gone as far as shooting competitors actually unloading their magazines between stages to extend the life of their springs. A variant of this myth is: "You should never load a magazine to capacity and should always leave it one round short." What if you need that round some day?
Recently, I read an article in a gun magazine suggesting you rotate your magazines so the ones not in use can "recover and rest." The same author uses the phrase "spring-set" to describe weakness of a spring because it was compressed for a long time. Hogwash. There's nothing further from the truth. Springs don't care how long they're compressed and don't require rest, recreation or even a vacation from time to time.
Shameful Spring Benders
To put this one to rest, you have to understand creep. Creep is the slow flow of a non-ferric metal like copper, brass and lead under force. At temperatures outside of a furnace, steel doesn't have any appreciable creep. Under most conditions, steel flexes and then returns to its original shape. When pushed past its elastic limit, steel will bend and not return to its original shape. All designers of well-made magazines make sure the spring never approaches the elastic limit when the magazine is fully loaded. Honest. This means the spring will not weaken when the magazine is fully loaded -- not even over an extended time. Like 50 years. American Handgunner recently ran a story about a magazine full of .45 ACP that had been sitting since WWII and it ran just fine on the first try. So there you go.
Now that the light of truth is leaking out, lets talk about what is causing failures to feed. The only way to weaken a magazine spring is to flex it past its normal range (elastic limit). If this is happening, somebody is trying to overload a magazine or has "adjusted" it by bending the spring. Both of these could cause feed failures. Shame on you if you're a spring bender.
Carlton Nether, Customer Service for Beretta USA, tells us keeping a pistol magazine loaded for an extended period doesn't cause magazine spring failure, however, failures to feed can result. He says, "The ammo will 'roll' in the magazine. If the mags are kept loaded and moved around a lot -- say on a cop's belt -- the rolling action can, over time, cause creases in the cases. These creases can cause malfunctions. Also the top bullet will roll against the magazine lips and creasing can occur there as well. Just check old ammo that's been bouncing around in a magazine for a long time.
We tell police officers if they keep loaded magazines, take a few seconds to "cycle" the ammo. Periodically unload the mag and reload it in a different sequence. This movement will allow the bullets to be in different parts of the magazine and help eliminate creasing.
At STI, Dave Skinner, President and CEO says, "Personally, I rotate my 'under the bed' and 'under the seat' mags about every six months. I always empty them the 'fun' way and have never had a failure." Given what we learned above, this sounds like a good idea. Smith and Wesson customer service also says magazines can stay loaded indefinitely without hurting the spring.
As we add force onto a spring, it will displace the same amount for each amount of force we add. This is true until the spring passes a certain point called the elastic limit. Robert Hooke discovered this theory back in 1660. Hooke's Law states: "If the applied forces on a body are not too large, the deformations resulting are directly proportional to the forces producing them." Which means, in actual human being language, if we load a spring past its elastic limit, it permanently deforms. It still provides a force against the load but the force is no longer proportional. If this happens, when we unload the spring (such as when we empty a magazine that has been over-loaded) the spring never returns to a state where it can provide the same load for the same amount of displacement.
Trust Us
When a magazine manufacturer designs a spring, they plan for a preload. The spring is already compressed some in the magazine. On the curve below, this would be Point A. The spring compression would be designed to be below the Elastic Limit. When fully compressed, the spring would be at Point B. If the spring is ever compressed past the elastic limit, say to Point C, it won't ever behave the same. Like a recalcitrant lazy Uncle, it will have a lower spring force for each amount of displacement. On the drawing, the spring would now cycle between points D and E. This means that -- particularly with the last bullet or two -- the force pushing the bullet up would be less and lo-and-behold, a mis-feed might occur.
When somebody stretches your spring to "fix" your magazine, they are trying to get you back on the original curve. They may get pretty close, however, it's unlikely the spring will ever perform to its original design. The elastic limit is now shifted lower and your magazine spring may fail to perform fairly quickly.
Having said all this, if you have a magazine that isn't feeding right, what should you do? First, disassemble the magazine and clean it thoroughly. Then try it with new, factory ammunition in a freshly cleaned gun. This takes away some of the possible causes. If you are still having feed problems, send it back. Even the low cost, after-market magazine manufacturers will fix the problem at no cost to you other than shipping. If it's a magazine from the gun's manufacturer, let them troubleshoot and repair the problem. Otherwise, toss the mag. It's not worth risking your life to save a few bucks. And that's the truth.
RELATED ARTICLE: Definitions
Creep: The flow or plastic deformation of metals held for long periods of time at stresses lower than the normal yield strength.
Elastic Limit: The maximum stress that material will stand before permanent deformation occurs.
Yield Strength: The stress at which the metal changes from elastic to plastic in behavior, i.e., takes a permanent set.
Permanent Set: Non-elastic or plastic, deformation of metal under stress, after passing the elastic limit.
Magazine Recommendations
* Clean your magazines when they get gritty. Apply oil then remove all excess. Oil attracts dirt that may cause malfunction.
* If you find rust on the spring, this is culprit. Rust changes the thickness of the metal and reduces the force applied to the follower. Cleaning off the rust may help. For a gun you depend on, replace the spring. All the major brands and most of the smaller ones have replacement mag springs available or try Wolff Springs.
* If you keep a magazine loaded for long periods, rotate the rounds every few months. If you carry a pistol on the job or in your car, cycle the ammo frequently. These actions prevent creases from forming which may cause a misfeed.
* If you experience feed problems, first clean your magazines and weapon. Fire a couple magazines of new factory ammo to see if this resolves the problem. If not send the magazine back to the manufacturer -- or toss it.
Magazine springs in semi-auto pistols are one of the most critical springs and are the subject of much debate and concern. Magazines which are kept fully loaded for long periods of time, such as in law enforcement and personal/home defense applications, will generally be subject to more fatigue than the weekend shooter's magazine springs in which the magazines are loaded up only when shooting.
Magazine design and capacity also affect the longevity of the spring. In many older pistol designs, maximum capacity was not the always the goal such as with the 7 round 1911 Colt magazines will last for years fully loaded. There was room for more spring material in these guns which reduces overall stress and increases the usable life of the spring.
More recently higher capacity magazine have become popular. These are designed to hold more rounds with less spring material often in the same space. This puts more stress on the spring and will cause it to fatigue at a faster rate. Unloading these magazines a round or two will help the life of the spring. Rotating fully loaded magazines will also help the problem somewhat but it is not always practical."

a Few Years back, I remember Small Arms Review, had an article about a lady who found a 1911 in the attic that had been loaded since her husband had returned from WWII, it was stored in the attic and hadn't been touched in over 60 years. She called one of the writers of the magazine, he said here is an opportunity to test this whole spring wear theory!
There where 3 magazines fully loaded.
Gun ran=Zero malfunctions.
Look manufactures develop their products to hold a certain amount of ammunition in their magazines. Their is NO benefit to downloading a magazine. The only magazines. I have ever had issues with, are ones that I use for regular practice. Your springs on your 1965 Mustang aren't wearing out while it sits in the garage. Its as you drive it and the spring moves that cause the wear.

Politics Not In Nickels's Backyard
posted by October 19 at 12:33 PMon
Mayor Nickels, who is pushing for zoning changes to accommodate density, is actually against easing zoning restrictions when it would affect City Hall.
County Exec Ron Sims wants to replace the ugly 9-story County administration building that's directly across the street from City Hall, just south at 4th and James, with a 40 plus-story building. Nine floors would be owned by the County and the rest would be apartments or condos and retail.
The County says it needs to go beyond the current 34-story limit there to make the project pencil out for developers… that is… to keep the taxpayers off the hook.
The building falls just one block outside zone 1where 60-story buildings are now allowed, thanks, actually, to Nickels's recent push to build taller downtown.
In fact, the county jail, across the street to the east, falls within the new taller zone district. So, Sims had a proposal: Since the County's not going to revamp the jail, let the County transfer the right to build higher just across the street.
But Team Nickelswhich likes to talk about the benefits of density by tweaking zoning citywidehas found its inner-NIMBY when it comes to Sims's plan to increase desnity next door to City Hall. Indeed, Deputy Mayor Ceis hauled out the stalest Seattle argument in the book: It'll cast shadows.
The Seattle Times reports:
The county plan "would have a shading effect on City Hall for sure, and the council has been very protective of the civic campus," Ceis said.
Way to set an example, Ceis. You're asking neighborhoods all over the city to accept zoning changes. Now, when they bitch about "shadows," they'll just be following your dumb example.
Ceis officially objected yesterday when Sims first announced his plan.
And today, in a rare instance, Council Member Peter Steinbrueck agreed with Ceis.
NIMBYism makes strange bed fellows.

600,000 acres of NC farmland lost over 5 years
Buncombe County lost more than 20,000 acres
Published: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 at 8:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 at 8:03 a.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Figures from the U.S. Census of Agriculture show North Carolina has lost more than 600,000 acres of farmland from 2002 to 2007.
The new census reported 8.5 million acres of farmland in the state, compared with 9.1 million acres in 2002. Also, the census showed that, in 2007, North Carolina had 52,900 farms, compared with 53,900 in 2002.
The census doesn't say what happened to the farmland, but state Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler thinks a lot of the land was sold for development.
Buncombe, Edgecombe, Hyde, Moore and Perquimans counties led the state in farmland lost, with each seeing decreases of more than 20,000 acres. Urban counties such as Forsyth, Guilford, Mecklenburg and Wake saw declines of between 5,000 and 20,000 acres each.

All Rise...
Fun fact: This was the first movie Judge Daryl Loomis ever snuck into.
Editor's Note
Our review of Hardware (Blu-Ray), published October 26th, 2009, is also available.
The Charge
No flesh shall be spared
Opening Statement
Having previously directed a few music videos for such goth luminaries as Fields of Nephilim, Richard Stanley (Dust Devil) shocked the world with Hardware, which nearly garnered an X-rating for its dark tone and brutal violence. A surprise hit upon its release, Stanley's combination of post-apocalyptic setting and slasher horror, unfortunately found little support with home video distribution, and until now has remained largely unseen. Finally on DVD thanks to Severin Films, can Hardware stand up to my glowing memories?
Facts of the Case
Moses Baxter (Dylan McDermott, In the Line of Fire)—former soldier and now a scavenger of the apocalyptic wasteland—gets his hands on a cache of metal that he brings to his sculptor wife, Jill (Stacey Travis, Ghost World), as a Christmas present. Unfortunately, the gift contains parts from a robot known as M.A.R.K. 13, a self-sustaining, partially sentient, combat droid. The head soon awakens, rebuilds itself, and resumes its singular mission: to kill whatever warm body stands in its way. With Jill alone in her apartment, M.A.R.K. 13 knows its target and will stop at nothing to complete its directive.
The Evidence
The threat of an X-rating for Hardware seemed unwarranted in 1990, and the film is even less shocking today. However, Richard Stanley's dark and violent affair takes nods from multiple genres, and emerges as one of the finest sci-fi horror films ever made. M.A.R.K. 13, named after the book and chapter of the Bible that contains the above line about sparing flesh, is a great villain. With its mechanized body and organic brain, the robot has the kind of faceless invincibility we love in characters like Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees. A killer droid isn't all that scary on its own, but Stanley injects just enough personality to make it menacing and perversely funny. The droid gets a sexual thrill out of the kill—which is especially true of his phallus drill used in the often criticized robot rape scene—but it's not always so over the top. M.A.R.K. 13 appears to smile in ecstasy, as he injects his victims with a poison that sends them into a psychotropic death spin. This sick, funny charisma makes the robot a very appealing monster.
Hardware builds slowly to the point were M.A.R.K. 13 awakens, and when that finally happens the action comes fast and furious. Before this lays a plodding intro that may bore some, but is very important for building the setting and atmosphere. As we drink in the scenery, through slow pans across the desert, we can see the devastation that has occurred to the world (though there's never a clear explanation of what actually occurred). As we come into the city, we see the sadly realistic dystopian future. Cameras are everywhere, watching everything, in an attempt to stem crime. Those fortunate few with money live isolated from the scum in sealed apartments that are functional, secure, and filled with entertainment designed to make the dweller forget about the radiation, the crime, and all the trouble on the street below. Those caught in the middle, such as Moses and his best friend Shades (John Lynch, In the Name of the Father) live the hardest, struggling to survive while trying to maintain a shred of humanity. The bleak, grey cityscape that Stanley presents contrasts nicely with the building interiors where the rich folk live. Bathed in deep reds and blues, a style taken directly from the candy-colored nightmares of Italian horror masters Mario Bava and Dario Argento, these are oppressive dwellings still under full surveillance. If not for the protection from radiation and riff-raff, there's little evidence it's any easier to lead a meaningful existence inside them. These varied stylistic approaches keep the film fresh, without feeling confused or forced. While Stanley was only twenty-four when the film was released, he displays a sure hand and a clear vision, one he was able to achieve on a very small budget.
All of these parts are tied together nicely by Simon Boswell's (Demons 2) tense score. A veteran of the horror genre, his work with Italian directors clearly shows its influence here, with heavily dissonant strings and smatterings of industrial metal which are more effective than pop music. Ministry's "Stigmata" is used brilliantly to underscore Jill's art piece construction, put together as a montage of twisted metal and a GWAR video. While far from subtle, but long before there's any real threat, we can sense the trouble in using the robot head. Cameos from Lemmy of Motorhead, Carl McCoy of Fields of Nephilim, and Iggy Pop narrating as radio DJ "Angry Bob" are silly fun. While the performances are a mixed bag, the mostly young talent has some less-than-stellar dialogue to work with. The film shines more in atmosphere than in the plot or the script. When the action starts, however, many of those problems are quickly forgotten.
Fans of Hardware are in for a treat with this two-disc limited edition set. Severin has put a lot of work into their transfers of some pretty obscure genre films, but this might be their best yet. It's the perfect time to toss out those stretched out VHS tapes, because the image for this low budget film neglected for nearly two decades looks nearly flawless. Colors are bold and bright, while blacks are solid. No matter how saturated the colors get, there is no bleeding whatsoever. There is strong detail throughout the image and very little aging at all. The sound, mixed into Dolby 5.1 Surround, is equally good. Clear dialogue, detailed separation in each speaker, and a full array of music and effects in the rear channels make this mix quite impressive.
Fans will love the special features, as well. The first disc contains the audio commentary, a scene-specific question and answer session with Stanley covering every aspect of the production. Plus, he gives his oddball opinions on supposed projects to build real-life combat droids. The rest of the supplements come on the second disc, and it's a full slate. A documentary covers much of the same material as the commentary, but with input from almost everybody in the cast and crew, save for McDermott, who is conspicuously absent. Next, we have deleted and extended scenes, all of which would have been valuable to the final cut, but would have also slowed down the film's already deliberate pacing. Three short films from Stanley round out the set, including an early Super-8 version of Hardware and a charming, recent sci-fi short which proves Stanley still has something to offer the genre. The only knock on this release is the complete lack of subtitles, both for alternate languages and English SDH. There's no reason for this omission.
Closing Statement
Hardware isn't a perfect film by any means, but its cult following is justified. With a dark and moody atmosphere, a strong villain, and enough gore for a couple of films, the film should find a new audience in this generation courtesy of a top notch set. I couldn't ask for more from Severin.
The Verdict
While the flesh may be in danger, this release is spared. Not guilty.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Hardware a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

After weather derailed the Mizzou baseball team's plans for opening weekend, forcing the Tigers to Louisiana, the squad put together an impressive opening weekend with wins over Southern Mississippi and Chicago State. The 2-1 start is a stark contrast to the 2013 season, where Mizzou limped out of the gate to a 0-6 record. Behind contributions from fresh faces and Tiger veterans, the squad will look to build on its early success.

Balsamic/Olive Oil Bread Dip
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 0 mins
A marinade/cooking sauce/dip that has infinite uses. You can tailor it to your own tastes as well by adding or subtracting ingredients.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup balsamic vinegar (the good stuff)
- 1 cup good quality olive oil
- 6 -8 tablespoons Gilroy garlic, minced (I find it at QFC fresh veg area)
- 1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
- 1 -2 teaspoon ground aniseed
- 1 tablespoon dried, chopped onion
- 1⁄2 teaspoon celery seed
- basil (fresh ground fine or jarred)
- I never make this quite the same way twice but man is it good to keep on hand.
- Mix EVERYTHING together in a bowl and pour into a nice glass container.
- I get wide mouth ones at Ross, but they have them everywhere.
- Let it sit for a few hours and shake it up lots to mix all the flavors together.
- I keep it on my counter and use it for about a million things from boneless chicken thighs braise to salad dressing.
- If you get a really great loaf of crusty french bread and put a bit of this into fancy little dishes, you can serve it with any meal allowing each person his own dipping sauce.
- It's addictive and sooooo easy to make and keep on hand.
- Enjoy!
Most Helpful
I used regular garlic and couldnt find any ground aniseed, but it was still delicious! I served this as a bread dip in little dishes to people at a vegan dinner party that I had. Everyone loved it! It also saved the day as an emergency salad dressing when I realized I had forgotten to buy some. Very easy to make, and very addictive!
I used this to marinate lamb chops. I replaced the basil with mint, had to use plain garlic cloves (can't find Gilroy) and I used a litttle Pernod (a French anise-flavoured liqueur) since we can't buy anise seeds here. The chops tasted very nice. I will use this to experiment with other foods.
We love this recipe. We've altered it a little (no anissed or celery seed) but that suits us fine. We've been making it NON STOP since we found it. It's a good recipe to add/subtract too. Thanks for this one!

Kim Kardashian Visits Two Plastic Surgeons in One Day
Earlier this week, Kim Kardashian posted a nude photo that surprisingly set off a heated debate about body positivity, female exploitation and slut-shaming.
Despite the divisive nature of the selfie, everyone (well, most people) could agree on one thing: Kim looked damn good. So it's surprising that the 35-year-old mother of two was spotted visiting two well-known plastic surgery centers in Los Angeles yesterday.

Self-Designations and Group Identity– Part Three
The second major self-designation that Paul Trebilco explores at length is the term 'believer' (whether in a noun or a verbal ['the one believing'] form). This terminology occurs some 79 times in the NT with 65 of them being the substantive verbal form, the rest adjectival form. There is no debate that this same sort of terminology can be found in Josephus, Philo, and 15 times in the LXX we find the substantive use of the verb pisteuo, but what is notable is how much more frequent this … [Read more...]
Self-Designations and Group Identity– Part Two
The technical label fictive kinship is one a person frequently encounters in sociological literature when one is talking about a group that talks to and about each other as if they were family when in fact they are not physical kin. My problem with applying this technical phrase to the 'family of faith' language we find in the NT, is that it appears to me that Paul and others really believe there is such a thing as a spiritual kinship involved for those who are a part of the body of Christ (to … [Read more...]
Self-Designations and Group Identity— Part One
The sociological study on the NT has been going on now for decades, and it has produced some remarkable fruit ever since the landmark study by Wayne Meeks--- The First Urban Christians. More recently, one of the most useful and insightful approaches has involved appropriating social identity theory, especially when it comes to group identity. A good example of this is the recently published thesis of Aaron Kuecker on social identity in Luke-Acts. Paul Trebilco's work has for sometime made … [Read more...]
Jesus and his Disciples—- What's in a Word
(A schematic of the large house of the fisherman unearthed in Bethsaida--- hometown of Peter and Andrew).The term mathetes is thrown around a lot in church these days, usually translated 'disciple'. It's actual literal sense is a 'learner' but often it means something more like 'adherent'. Interestingly, this term does not really show up in the NT outside of the Gospels and Acts, and in Acts the usage seems to be Lukan, by which I mean it does not seem to come from Luke's sources, but from … [Read more...]

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
Your pied-a-terre in Mendocino. A quiet place to rest, yet steps away from restaurants, shops and galleries, and walks on the beach or around the Headlands. A favorite of those attending classes at the Mendocino Art Center and writers on retreat.
Although it feels like a cottage, the Village Farm Retreat is actually a small part of a large 100+ year old Victorian on a one acre property two blocks up the street from the Alegria Oceanfront Inn and Cottages with which it is associated. There's a sound wall dividing it from the other part of the house, and it has its own entrance and porch space. The wonderfully landscaped garden includes a pond and a chicken (hopefully more soon!) in the chicken coop.
The retreat has one bedroom upstairs with a double bed and great ocean view from the writer's desk.

Obama and McCain v. Ivy League
On their 9/11 day of campaign truce, Barack Obama and John McCain went to Columbia University and talked earnestly about public service. The Presidential candidates managed to perform a service as well, by calling out their host to welcome the Reserve Office Training Corps back on the Morningside Heights campus.
The suggestion was met with boos from the audience when offered by the Republican hopeful and retired Naval officer, and silence when crowd favorite Mr. Obama (Columbia '83) called the ban "a mistake." The contempt for military service, alas, runs deep at our so-called elite academic institutions.
Five of the eight Ivy League schools kicked out ROTC in the wake of the Vietnam War. Today only Princeton, Dartmouth, Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania allow America's future military leaders to get their instruction on campus. In 2005, Columbia's university senate shot down a resolution to re-establish ROTC. Two years before, the student body voted for readmission by 2-1.
Columbia President Lee Bollinger, who led the fight against ROTC in 2005, says the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy constitutes "improper discrimination and humiliation" of homosexuals. Of course, that didn't stop him last year from inviting on campus Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose regime executes homosexuals for being homosexual. The young men and women at Columbia who want to choose service in the armed forces can hardly be faulted for feeling "improper discrimination and humiliation" on their campus. We'll now see if a bipartisan rebuke on ROTC is enough to shame Columbia and the other Ivies into changing their dishonorable act.

United Grain of Russia Seeks Expressions of Interest in Stake
United Grain Co., Russia's state grain trader, was opened to interested parties today as the country sells stakes in government-controlled companies.
Troika Dialog started to collect expressions of interest in United Grain, the Moscow-based brokerage said in a website statement. Applications can be submitted until noon on March 20.
The government plans to issue additional stock and sell as much as 50 percent minus one share of United Grain before May 8, according to a presidential decree last year. The company, set up three years ago to buy cereals and ship grains abroad, will use private investment to increase grain-handling capacity at ports to 16 million metric tons a year by 2015 and silo storage to 8.4 million tons, according to United Grain data.
The trader expanded handling capacity to 4.5 million tons last year at its terminal in Novorossiysk, Russia's main grain export hub, company data show. It had at least 1.2 million tons of storage capacity, it said in June.
Summa Group, a Russian port operator and builder, is interested in buying a stake in United Grain, Chairman Ziyavudin Magomedov said Feb 3. His brother Magomed, who owns stakes in some of Summa's assets, entered Russia's top 10 grain exporters this season after shipping about 300,000 tons of cereals from July 1 through February via his OOO Danton trader, Vedomosti reported.

"ANTWERP" Antwerp by alyf1961
Antwerp Travel Guide: 2,937 reviews and 7,258 photos
Antwerp [English]
Antwerpen [Dutch]
Anvers [French]
Antwerp is the capital of Flanders in northern Belgium.
It is located on the right bank of the river Scheldt, which is linked to the North Sea by the estuary Westerschelde.
Folklore says that a mythical giant named Antigoon lived near the river Scheldt. He took a toll from people crossing the river. Those who refused had one of their hands cut off and thrown in the river. The giant was slain by a young hero called Brabo who cut off the giants hand and threw it into the river.
One of the main attractions of Antwerp is the diamond trade. The city has four diamond bourses [a European stock exchange].
The painter Anthony van dyke [1599-1641] was born in Antwerp also painters Vincent Van Gogh and Pieter Paul Rubens both lived in the city for a while.

Death, Dungeons and Taxes Party
The Death, Dungeons and Taxes Party is a satirical British political party. It fielded candidates in two constituencies in the United Kingdom general election, 2005. They were Brett Harris in Edinburgh East, and Damian Fleck in the City of York. Neither candidate won their election. Therefore, the party has no representation in the House of Commons.
The party's manifesto advocated reducing the school leaving age to nine, the annexation of France, and the reintroduction of hanging, but only for "minor offences" such as littering. By contrast, murderers would be disembowelled, along with improper users of text language. The proposed rate of tax was 90%.[1] Immigrants would be repelled with boiling oil and longbows at all ports and airports.[2]
In the Edinburgh East constituency, Brett Harris managed to earn 89 votes. This represented only 0.2% of the turnout.[3] Damien Fleck had equal success in the City of York constituency, earning 93 votes, which also represented just 0.2% of the turnout.[4] Both candidates were beaten by all party representatives in their constituencies. Damien Fleck was also beaten by one independent candidate, though he did beat another independent.
Name confusion[edit]
There is some confusion as to the party's name. On official logos and on the BBC website it is referred to as "Dungeons, Death and Taxes Party". However, the two candidates who represented the party in the 2005 general elections stood under the name "Death, Dungeons and Taxes Party". Hence, this is the name listed on most official election websites.[5][6]

Dir: Randall Wallace; starring: John Malkovich, Diane Lane. U cert, 123 min
Diane Lane, as belittled Colorado housewife turned horse-manager extraordinaire Penny Chenery Tweedy, has the look of an actress who sniffed an Oscar nod here, then arrived on set to find the scent had been replaced with manure. With her plush knitwear, Pat Nixon hair and fluctuation between gasping and frowning, she settles for being ridiculous, but then there's nothing else Randall Wallace's honeyed tale of racecourse triumph in 1973 will let her do. When in doubt, the script decides that Tweedy and prize stallion Secretariat are virtually the same being: "When I went off to college, I felt like that colt, full of promise..." John Malkovich, as the steed's Quebecois trainer, lurches grandly into his fluent but hilariously non-native French, while modelling more or less random permutations of multicolored fedoras, cravats, and hideous blazers . The only thing you can't predict hours in advance is whether Oscar-winning photographer Dean Semler (Dances with Wolves) will manage his quota of sunsets before throwing up, but the movie is so gurning, rapt and obliviously absurd it's oddly fun.

Easy and Tasty! Thanks!
Love this recipe, so simple and such a no brainier. My kids love it and even the picky eater doesn't complain.
This made for a quick and tasty dinner. I used 5 minute rice and would have used long grain next time as the rice was pretty soft. I didn't have onion soup mix so subbed beefy onion mix - very similar. I think this would be great in the crock pot too.
One of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!!!! Change nothing!!!
my man loves this! It's a very versatile recipe.
This was very good and very simple. I too used beefy onion soup (what I had on hand). It turned out very good. The flavor of the rice was delicious. Next time I will make sure I stir the rice a little as soon as I take it out of the oven!
Aside from adding bite size pieces of celery to the rice, I followed this recipe to the T. It was very good.
we loved this and I have already made it twice in a month, thanks it was so easy, and so good!!
This was just WONDERFUL and full of flavor! DH and I are pork chop lovers and this dish with the rice and gravy hit the spot! We will have it again! Easy preparation! Thanks MightyRo for posting this great recipe!

so, when people say this to me, like I should jus accept that my daughter will never be independant, I am not sure how to feel. I don't want to feel like I don't her with me forever, but I also don't want to just resign myself that she will never be capable of living with independance. how do you feel about this?
You have to know, she will be with you forever right?

This is a rude thing to say to someone and is indicative of nothing more than the speaker's ignorance about Down syndrome.
There is absolutely no question in my mind that Elliot will NOT live with us forever. He will live as independently as possible, as soon as possible. Will he need supports? Probably. Will he live in a group home? Perhaps. Either way, he will be living as independently as possible.

Samantha the tools to become independent one day (she's only 6, but it's never too soon to start, right?), she's my best friend, and I know I will be very, very sad when that time comes.

I agree with Jackie. I rarely ever think about whether or not Reese is going to live independenlty or not. She is 5 years old! So much can happen in the next 13 plus years......I would not think about this if she were typical so why should I be expected to think about it because she has DS. And even if she does live with me for the rest of her life, SO WHAT! There are plenty of typical adults out there mooching off of their parents. :)

a lot of people's children end up struggling with substance abuse/additction, depression, mental illness, injuries, criminal involvement, pure laziness and mooching, so on and so forth, things that make them stay at home indefinitely. would you go up to a stranger and tell them that their toddler is gonna be a loser and never leave the nest?! no, because what evidence would you have to base that statement on? it's unfair that our kids or any child with a dx are reduced to assumptions before they are even grown. not everyone opens their mind to these things, though, unless they themselves are walking those shoes. unfortunate.

Sorry about that I thought I had stated in the review, that they were placed in the front of the case as intake fans.

it would be interesting to see how well they perform on the CPU heatsink as well, considering the whole static vs non static performance thing.

text: Seagate Technology Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Seagate Technology ( STX) was one of just a few existing names that David Einhorn's firm added onto last quarter: Greenlight added 89,000 shares to its Seagate holdings, ratcheting the firm to more than 7% of the firm's stock portfolio. Like Expedia, Seagate has had quite a year in 2012 -- shares have more than doubled since the first trading day of the year. Seagate designs, manufactures and sells computer hard drives. That's a business that's proven extremely lucrative of late, as demand for storage grows dramatically. Industry trends are pushing towards technologies like cloud computing, a convenience-focused offering that typically means that data is stored in multiple locations -- both locally on a computer and then remotely on a server. That's fueled growth demand for storage at datacenters and on consumers' computers, two markets that Seagate provides hard drives for. The firm has a solid balance sheet with more than $2 billion in cash that largely offsets STX's $2.9 billion debt position. That, coupled with stellar free cash flow generation, has helped to pay out a hefty dividend, currently weighing in at about 4%. I also featured Seagate last week in " 7 Hot Stocks to Trade (or Not)." Prev 3 of 6 Next

Juba — The chairman of the South Sudan Civil Society Alliance, Deng Athuai Mawiir, has survived an assassination attempt with at least one serious injury.
The shooting occurred on Friday in the South Sudanese capital, Juba. A government source who spoke to the South Sudan News Agency on condition of anonymity revealed that at least two unknown gunmen dressed in black military-style uniforms were responsible for the shooting.
"Deng has been shot multiple times by unknown-masked gunmen. Initial reports from many Eyewitnesses suggest that people who dressed in black military-fashion uniforms were seen shooting Deng and fled the scene after they thought their target [Deng] was dead", the source told the SSNA.
"He is now in a hospital getting necessary medical treatment for his wounds", the source added.
In 2012, Deng Athuai was kidnapped and tortured for three days by government agents who felt that the leader of civil society was spreading anti-government attitude. However, the government denied the abduction, asserting that organized criminals were responsible for Athuai's ordeal.
The police called his 2012 kidnapping "politically motivated".
Most South Sudanese believed that Mr. Athuai was the architect behind the anti-corruption campaign which forced President Kiir to write to seventy five (75) corrupted government officials-a campaign which infuriated many Kiir's political allies.
