The Metropolitan Borough of Tameside is a metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester in North West England. It is named after the River Tame, which flows through the borough and spans the towns of Ashton-under-Lyne, Audenshaw, Denton, Droylsden, Dukinfield, Hyde, Mossley and Stalybridge. Its western border is approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Manchester city centre. It borders Derbyshire to the east, the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham to the north, the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport to the south, and the City of Manchester to the west. Tameside has a population of 214,400.[2] By the 2011 election this overall population had increased to 219,324.[3]
The history of the area extends back to the Stone Age. There are over 300 listed buildings in Tameside and three Scheduled Ancient Monuments, which includes a castle of national importance. The settlements in Tameside were small townships centred on agriculture until the advent of the Industrial Revolution. The towns of the borough grew and became involved in the cotton industry, which dominated the local economy. The current borough was created in 1974 as part of the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972. Since then the area has been administered by Tameside Borough Council, which has been judged by the Audit Commission to be "performing strongly".
The history of the area stretches back up to 10,000 years; there are 22 Mesolithic sites in Tameside, the oldest dating to around 8,000 BC; 21 of the 22 sites are in the hilly uplands in the north east of the borough.[4] Evidence of Neolithic[5] and Bronze Age activity is more limited in the borough, although the Bronze Age Stalybridge Cairn is the most complete prehistoric funerary monument in the borough.[6] The people in the area changed from hunter-gatherers to farmers around 2500 BC–1500 BC due to climate change.[7] Werneth Low is the most likely Iron Age farmstead site in the borough, probably dating to the late 1st millennium BC.[8] Before the Roman conquest of Britain in the 1st century AD, the area was probably part of the territory of the Brigantes, the Celtic tribe controlling most of what is now north west England.[9]
The area came under control of the Roman Empire in the second half of the 1st century. Roads through the area were established from Ardotalia fort in Derbyshire to Mamucium (Manchester) west of Tameside and Castleshaw Roman fort in the north.[10] Romano-British finds in the borough include a bog body in Ashton Moss, occupation sites at Werneth Low, Harridge Pike, Roe Cross, and Mottram.[11] A 4th-century coin hoard was found in Denton and is one of only four hoards from the 4th century in the Mersey basin.[12] A Byzantine coin from the 6th or 7th centuries, also found in Denton, indicates continued or renewed occupation once the Romans left Britain in the early 5th century.[13]
Nico Ditch, an earthwork stretching from Stretford to Ashton-under-Lyne, is evidence of Anglo-Saxon activity in Tameside. It was probably dug between the 7th and 9th centuries and may have been used as a boundary between the kingdoms of Mercia and Northumbria.[14] Further evidence of Anglo-Saxon era activity in Tameside comes from the derivation of settlement names from Old English such as -tun, meaning farmstead, and leah meaning clearing.[15]
According to the Domesday Survey of 1086, Tameside was divided into four manors, those of Tintwistle, Hollingworth, Werneth, and Mottram. The land east or the River Tame was in the Hundred of Hamestan in Cheshire and held by the Earl of Chester while to the west of the river was in the Hundred of Salford under Roger de Poitevin.[16] These manors were divided to create further manors, so that by the 13th century most of them were owned by local families and remained in the hands of the same families until the 16th century.[17] Manorialism continued as the main for of administration and governance until the mid-19th century.[18]
The Industrial Revolution had a significant impact on Tameside; the area, whose main towns had previously been Ashton-under-Lyne and Mottram-in-Longdendale, was transformed from a collection of the rural, farming communities into mill towns. The towns of Ashton-under-Lyne, Dukinfield, Hyde, Mossley and Stalybridge have been described as "amongst the most famous mills towns in the North West".[19] With only a brief interruption for the Lancashire Cotton Famine of 1861 to 1865, factories producing and processing textiles were the main industry in Tameside from the late-18th century until the mid-20th century.[19][20]
In 1964, Dukinfield Borough Council convened a meeting of neighbouring local authorities with the aim of formulating a policy of cross-authority social improvement for the districts in the Tame Valley.[21] Following deindustrialisation, the area had suffered "gross-neglect" and had large areas of housing unsuitable for human habitation.[21] This joint enterprise comprised the nine districts that would become Tameside ten years later, plus the County Borough of Stockport.[21] This collective agreed on creating "a linear park in the valley [of the River Tame] for the use of the townspeople and as a major recreational resource within the Manchester metropolis".[21]
Tameside was created on 1 April 1974, by the Local Government Act 1972 as one of the ten metropolitan districts of Greater Manchester. It took over the local government functions of nine districts which were formerly in the administrative counties of Lancashire and of Cheshire.[22] In 1986 Tameside effectively became a unitary authority with the abolition of the Greater Manchester County Council.
A name for the metropolitan borough proved problematic.[23] The Redcliffe-Maud Report had used the name Ashton-Hyde, but double-barrelled names were prohibited for the new districts.[23] Had Ashton-under-Lyne been a county borough, or had had a less common name, "it might have been chosen as the new name" for the new district.[23] The eight other towns objected, adamant that "a new name should be found".[23] Thirty suggestions were put forward, including Brigantia, Clarendon, Hartshead, Kayborough, Tame, Ninetowns, and West Pennine, with Hartshead (with reference to Hartshead Pike) being the most popular throughout most of the consultation period.[23] However, the name Tameside (with reference to the River Tame, but a concocted name with no historical basis) won 15 votes to Hartshead's 10 in a final stage of voting.[23]
The borough underwent a boundary review in 2002. The review altered the areas covered by some wards to ensure councillors represented roughly equal numbers.[24] Between 12 October 2006–8 January 2007, a dispersal order was enforced in the Dukinfield and Newton Hyde areas of the borough. The move was designed to reduce anti-social behaviour. A representative of Stalybridge police post said "Due to the serious nature of recent incidents in Dukinfield and Newton Hyde involving a number of confrontations between large groups of youths, the decision has been made to introduce a Dispersal Order".[25]
Tameside is bordered by the metropolitan boroughs of Stockport and Oldham to the south and north respectively, the city of Manchester to the west and the borough of High Peak in Derbyshire to the east. Tameside features flat lowlands in the west and highlands in the east where the western edge of the Pennines encroaches on the borough.[26] The hills in the east include Hartshead Pike and Werneth Low which is also a country park. As well as coal measures running north-south through the centre of the borough, there are areas of peat in the north east and there are large areas of boulder clay all over Tameside.[27] Ashton Moss is a peat bog covering about 107 hectares (260 acres) and Denton Moor is an area of about 81 hectares (200 acres) of peat.[28]
Waterways in Tameside include the rivers Medlock and Etherow, which form parts of Tameside's western and eastern boundaries respectively, and the River Tame crosses the borough north to south, giving Tameside its name.[28] The Ashton Canal, the Hollinwood Branch Canal, the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, and the Peak Forest Canal all run through the borough. There are also several reservoirs, including the Audenshaw Reservoirs. Greenspace accounts for 63.5% of the Tameside's total area, domestic buildings and gardens comprise 17.4%, and the rest is made up of roads and non-domestic buildings.[29]
Localities within the boundaries of Tameside include: Ashton-under-Lyne, Audenshaw, Broadbottom, Carrbrook, Copley, Denton, Droylsden, Dukinfield, Flowery Field, Gee Cross, Godley, Godley Green, Guide Bridge, Hartshead Green, Hattersley, Haughton Green, Hazelhurst, Heyrod, Hollingworth, Hyde, Landslow Green, Luzley, Millbrook, Mossley, Mottram in Longdendale, Newton, Park Bridge, Roe Cross, Stalybridge, Warhill, and Woolley Bridge.
Parliamentary constituencies[edit]
The residents of the Tameside are represented in the United Kingdom Parliament by Members of Parliament (MPs) for three separate parliamentary constituencies. Ashton-under-Lyne, which also includes parts of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, is represented by Mr. David Heyes MP (Labour).[30] Denton and Reddish, which also covers parts of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, is represented by Mr. Andrew Gwynne MP (Labour).[31] Stalybridge and Hyde, which is entirely within Tameside, is represented by Mr. Jonathan Reynolds MP (Labour).[32] Tameside is part of the North West England constituency in the European Parliament. North West England elects eight MEPs, as at 2009 made up of three Conservatives, two from the Labour Party, one member of the United Kingdom Independence Party, one Liberal Democrat, and one member of the British National Party.[33]
Labour retained control of Tameside Council at the 2012 local elections with a majority of 52 seats; second was the Conservative party with 5 seats, and there were no independents elected. The Leader of the Council is Councillor Kieran Quinn.
Tameside Borough Council was assessed by the Audit Commission and judged to be "improving strongly" in providing services for local people. Overall the council was awarded "four star" status meaning it was "performing strongly" and "well above minimum requirements", putting it in the top 38% of all local authorities.[34]
Civil parishes form the bottom tier of local government; the parish councils are involved in planning, management of town and parish centres, and promoting tourism.[35] Mossley is the only civil parish in Tameside, in 2001 9,856 people lived there, 4.6% of the borough's population.[36] Prior to becoming a civil parish, it was a Municipal Borough. The unparished areas are: Ashton-under-Lyne (Municipal Borough), Audenshaw (Urban District), Denton (Urban District), Droylsden (Urban District), Dukinfield (Municipal Borough), Hyde (Municipal Borough), Longdendale (Urban District), and Stalybridge (Municipal Borough). The status of each area prior to 1974 is shown in brackets. An urban district was a type of local government district which covered an urbanised area. Ashton-under-Lyne, Audenshaw, Denton, Droylsden, and Mossley were previously in Lancashire and Dukinfield, Hyde, Longdendale, and Stalybridge were in Cheshire.

In February 2001, Tameside had one Grade I listed buildings, 19 Grade II*, and 289 Grade II.[58] The number of Grade I listed buildings in Tameside has increased to three, these are St Anne's Church in Haughton;[59] St Michael and All Angels' Church in Ashton-under-Lyne;[49] and Fairbottom Farm Barn, a 17th-century farm building.[60] In Tameside are three of Greater Manchester's Sites of Special Scientific Interest, Boar Flat, part of Dark Peak,[61] the Hollinwood Branch Canal[62] and the Huddersfield Narrow Canal. The Huddersfield Narrow Canal runs for 20 miles (32 km) from Huddersfield to Ashton-under-Lyne; it is protected for its biological interest, and is "the best example of a flowing eutrophic water system in Greater Manchester".[63]
There are three Scheduled Ancient Monuments in the borough, a Bronze Age cairn in Stalybridge,[64] Buckton Castle, and Nico Ditch. Buckton Castle is a 12th-century ringwork near Carrbrook. It was probably built for William de Neville and was the centre of lordship of Longdendale.[65] The castle lay ruinous by 1360, and has been described as "one of England's most important castles".[66] Nico Ditch is an earthwork running from Ashton-under-Lyne in the east to Stretford in the west, in the borough of Trafford. It survives to a depth of 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) in some places and is up to 4 metres (13 ft) wide.[14] Tameside also has nine conservation areas: Ashton and Stalybridge town centres; Carrbrook, Copley St.Paul's, and Millbrook in Stalybridge; Fairfield in Droylsden; Mottram-in-Longdendale; Portland Basin; and St.Anne's in Haughton.[67]
The Museum of the Manchester Regiment is housed in Ashton-under-Lyne's town hall. The museum displays relics related to the Manchester Regiment including five Victoria Crosses awarded to members of the regiment.[68] Park Bridge Heritage Centre in the Medlock Valley is a museum dedicated to the history of the settlement of Park Bridge and its industry.[69] Broad Mills Heritage Site, in Broadbottom, preserves the remains of an early 19th-century textile works.[70] Art galleries in the borough include Astley Cheetham Art Gallery in Stalybridge and Central Art Gallery in Ashton-under-Lyne.[71][72]
Tameside has eight designated Local Nature Reserves which are Knott Hill, Hollinwood Branch Canal, Great Wood, Haughton Dale, Hulmes and Hardy Woods, Castle Clough and Cowbury Dale, Hurst Clough and Rocher Vale. Four more are to be designated.[73]
Tameside council announced in 2007 a £180M plan to refurbish the borough's schools. The plan involves closing six schools and building six new ones. Overall the number of places available in schools will decrease as the number of school children is expected to decline.[74] In 2007 Tameside was ranked 61st out of the all the local education authorities in SATs performance – and 5th in Greater Manchester.[75] Authorised absences from and unauthorised absences from Tameside secondary schools in 2006–07 were 6.0% and 0.4%, lower than the national average (7.8% and 1.4%).[76] In 2007, the Tameside LEA was ranked 100th out of 148 in the country – and 6th in Greater Manchester – based on the percentage of pupils attaining at least 5 A*-C grades at GCSE including maths and English (41.8% compared with the national average of 46.7%).[77] In 2007, Audenshaw School was the most successful school in Tameside at both GCSE and A–level; 64% of the pupils gaining five or more GCSEs at A*-C grade including maths and English.[78] 2012 saw All Saints Catholic College, usually a highly criticized school, come out with the best GCSE results for a mixed school in that year, with 68% A* to C in at least 5 subjects. It was the first year of the new management scheme that had taken over the developing college. The secondary schools in Tameside are Alder Community High School, All Saints Catholic College, Astley Sports College, Audenshaw School, Copley Academy, Denton Community College, Droylsden Academy, Fairfield High School for Girls, Hyde Community College, Longdendale High School, Mossley Hollins High School, New Charter Academy, St Damian's RC Science College, St Thomas More RC College and West Hill School.
Tameside is served by 13 railway stations. Denton railway station is on the Stockport to Stalybridge Line. Fairfield railway station, Guide Bridge railway station, Hyde Central railway station, and Hyde North railway station are all on the Hope Valley Line between Sheffield and Manchester. Broadbottom railway station, Flowery Field railway station, Godley railway station, Guide Bridge railway station, Hattersley railway station, and Newton for Hyde railway station are served by the Glossop Line between Glossop and Manchester. Ashton-under-Lyne railway station, Mossley railway station, and Stalybridge railway station are on the Huddersfield Line.
Work on an extension of the Manchester Metrolink costing £260M began in 2008. The original plan was to extend the Metrolink to Ashton-under-Lyne, but due to reduced funding from the government, the plans were for a time scaled back and it was planned that the extension would go only as far as Droylsden.[79] However, work has started to bring the Metrolink to Ashton centre; currently (2012) work is well underway on the route to Ashton.
Tameside council is responsible for maintaining the public rights of way in the borough, including 145 mi (233 km) of footpaths.[80] In 2003, the government passed a scheme to create a bypass between the M67 and the A628. The Longdendale Bypass is expected to cost between £240M and £315M and although it received support from the communities effected by the bypass in the form of a petition with 9,000 signatures,[81][82] the scheme ran into opposition. An enquiry was launched in 2007, costing £15M,[83] however the fate of the bypass remains undecided.[84]
Twin towns[edit]
The Metropolitan Borough of Tameside has formal twinning links with places in China, France, Germany and Zimbabwe.[85] The arrangement with Mutare in Zimbabwe has been suspended due to the political unrest in that country.[86] Some localities were originally twinned with a place within the Metropolitan Borough prior to its creation in 1974.[87][88][89][90][91][92] In the list below the brackets show where the place was twinned with before 1974 and since when.

An outfit and some randomness
Well the car is finally in the garage and I'm hanging out at Mother's for a few days. This means unlimited internet and some sewing time - happy Elise! Bring on the laptop headache I say!
Today's outfit is a mish mash of randomness that I grabbed from my wardrobe while attempting a quick pack last night, not totally sure where my head was at, altho in the life of my clothes I say denim shirts, hoodies, Converse and florals go with EVERYTHING, and especially each other.
30 Rock Hoodie - NBC Store $50
Denim shirt - Topman, gift
Vintage dress - handmade by me many years ago
Tights - That Store I Hate (primark!) £2
Converse - birthday pressie
Hopefully there's some 30 Rock fans out there to appreciate this!
Was a bit of a pressie to myself on the March New York trip :)
Anyone remember these dummy necklaces?! This may be one of the oldest things I own, I remember being desperate for a dummy charm and my gran buying me these at the newsagents after school - daft some of the things that stand out in my mind from childhood!
I pop into Primark once or twice a year for 'interesting' cheap tights - starting to think this is a bit of a false economy... I go there cause I'm forever laddering non opaque tights but the quality of these are so bad I think that's WHY I'm laddering them!
Picked up more knitting patterns at the charity shop earlier - I'm getting a bit obsessed! Altho good news - I've finally picked a cardi for Mother to knit for my birthday - the undecisiveness had gone on too long! So in just over 2 months I should be the proud owner of the oversize cardi on the top left, yay! I also intend to knit myself that elephant cardi - totally in love with it!

Reno County jail inmate dies of apparent natural causes
A 54-year-old Reno County Jail inmate died from apparent natural causes Sunday night in his cell, Reno County Sheriff's Office officials said Monday.
James Richard Shumpert of Hutchinson was found unresponsive on his bunk at about 8:45 p.m. in a cell he occupied by himself. Deputies immediately started CPR and an ambulance was called. He was pronounced dead a short time later at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center, officials said.
A preliminary investigation indicates Shumpert, who had a history of medical problems, died from natural causes, officials said. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation will conduct an investigation and an autopsy will be performed.
Shumpert was arrested about 11 p.m. Saturday for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, criminal possession of a firearm and a probation violation, an official said.

Glass fiber reinforced concrete
Glass fiber reinforced concrete, also known as GFRC or GRC, is a type of fiber-reinforced concrete. Glass fiber concretes are mainly used in exterior building façade panels and as architectural precast concrete. Somewhat similar materials are fiber cement siding and cement boards.
Glass fiber-reinforced concrete consists of high-strength glass fiber embedded in a cementitious matrix.[1] In this form, both fibers and matrix retain their physical and chemical identities, while offering a synergism: a combination of properties that cannot be achieved with either of the components acting alone. In general, fibers are the principal load-carrying members, while the surrounding matrix keeps them in the desired locations and orientation, acting as a load transfer medium between the fibers and protecting them from environmental damage. In fact, the fibers provide reinforcement for the matrix and other useful functions in fiber-reinforced composite materials. Glass fibers can be incorporated into a matrix either in continuous or discontinuous (chopped) lengths.
A widely used application for fiber-reinforced concrete is structural laminate, obtained by adhering and consolidating thin layers of fibers and matrix into the desired thickness. The fiber orientation in each layer as well as the stacking sequence of various layers can be controlled to generate a wide range of physical and mechanical properties for the composite laminate. GFRC cast without steel framing is commonly used for purely decorative applications such as window trims, decorative columns, exterior friezes, or limestone-like wall panels.
This section requires expansion. (August 2012) |
The potential for using a glass-fiber-reinforced concrete system was recognized by the Soviets in the 1940s.
The design of glass-fiber-reinforced concrete panels proceeds from a knowledge of its basic properties under tensile, compressive, bending and shear forces, coupled with estimates of behavior under secondary loading effects such as creep, thermal response and moisture movement.
There are a number of differences between structural metal and fiber-reinforced composites. For example, metals in general exhibit yielding and plastic deformation, whereas most fiber-reinforced composites are elastic in their tensile stress-strain characteristics. However, the dissimilar nature of these materials provides mechanisms for high-energy absorption on a microscopic scale comparable to the yielding process. Depending on the type and severity of external loads, a composite laminate may exhibit gradual deterioration in properties but usually does not fail in a catastrophic manner. Mechanisms of damage development and growth in metal and composite structure are also quite different. Other important characteristics of many fiber-reinforced composites are their non-corroding behavior, high damping capacity and low coefficients of thermal expansion.
Glass-fiber-reinforced concrete architectural panels have the general appearance of pre-cast concrete panels, but differ in several significant ways. For example, the GFRC panels, on average, weigh substantially less than pre-cast concrete panels due to their reduced thickness. Their low weight decreases loads superimposed on the building's structural components. The building frame becomes more economical.
Sandwich panels[edit]
A sandwich panel is a composite of three or more materials bonded together to form a structural panel. It takes advantage of the shear strength of a low density core material and the high compressive and tensile strengths of the GFRC facing to obtain high strength-to-weight ratios.
The theory of sandwich panels and functions of the individual components may be described by making an analogy to an I-beam. The core in a sandwich panel is comparable to the web of an I-beam, which supports the flanges and allows them to act as a unit. The web of the I-beam and the core of the sandwich panels carry the beam shear stresses. The core in a sandwich panel differs from the web of an I-beam in that it maintains a continuous support for the facings, allowing the facings to be worked up to or above their yield strength without crimping or buckling. Obviously, the bonds between the core and facings must be capable of transmitting shear loads between these two components, thus making the entire structure an integral unit.
The load-carrying capacity of a sandwich panel can be increased dramatically by introducing light steel framing. Light steel stud framing is similar to conventional steel stud framing for walls, except that the frame is encased in a concrete product. Here, the sides of the steel frame are covered with two or more layers of GFRC, depending on the type and magnitude of external loads. The strong and rigid GFRC provides full lateral support on both sides of the studs, preventing them from twisting and buckling laterally. The resulting panel is lightweight in comparison with traditionally reinforced concrete, yet is strong and durable and can be easily handled.

This is a large park very much off the beaten path. It has good paved streets in the interior with some gravel, some concrete pads. Our premium site had a concrete pad and patio with a table and bench and grass between the sites. We were on the back row of the park, so it was fairly quiet, but the view was overlooking some debris. The Wi-Fi did not work well on our site, and our AT&T service was poor. - SMorin
Very nice park. We had a new improved campsite on the end with new cement parking. Very clean park. Our neighbor and I wished we could cut down one tree to get our satellite to work, but was fine without. Large park and we rented a golf cart. We may go back. But not this year. One problem was we dropped off our new propane tank to be filled. When I came back to get it, it was gone. So they gave me some old rusty tank. Not too impressed with that. - Camping Somewhere
Too far off beaten path; 13 miles or more off Rt. 21. Good Sam has messed up this listing for travelers. Nice place on lake. Incompetent help checking you in; didn't know they were Good Sam affiliated. Gave us crappy site when most of park empty. Don't recommend! - User483

| Posted about 7 years ago Good reminder CATM, thanks. If I may add one small thing; many people use their bore brush over and over not realizing how dirty it is. Also some tend to use the brush then stick the contaminated brush back in clean solvent. After using the bore brush, soak it rubbing alcohol while you're finishing up your gun then let it air dry. Thanks again. |

| Posted almost 7 years ago I clean my or my friends guns every time i use it. no matter what the gun is, if it's not clean its not reliable. And what good is an unreliable pistol? Alot of people cheat when they clean too, only hitting the 'hot spots' but sometime there can be crap in the little spaces too. |

| Posted almost 7 years ago Hi guys, I'm new to "PoliceLink" and thought that this was an interesting topic. I ran the range for several years in the PD from where I retired, and just wanted to share a little "food for thought". As far as lubrication, a little goes a long way. There was a guy on our PD who at one time used so much oil in his weapon that you could probably change the oil in your car with it. Keeping that in mind, he had unloaded his weapon every day and continuously rotated the same two rounds (you can only imagine what those two rounds looked like). Now, seeing how the majority of the time, the weapon is holstered, muzzle down, all this excess oil had actually seeped down through the breech face, onto the primers of the said two rounds. This, in fact, had killed the primers. When he came down to the range for qualification, his first two rounds did not fire. Had he been involved in a situation on the street, well.......... we can only imagine what could have happened. Just had to share this one. |

| Posted almost 7 years ago Good Post Bubba. Our rangemaster has banned the use of solvents on departmentally issued firearms because a few firearms were malfunctioning on the line due to solvent seeping into the breachface and corroding the pin. He also mentioned the same issue you speak of with lube. I found I was using way too much on my AR-15. -Not to the point where it was splattering out of the charging handle (seen that before on the line) but a little goes a long way. Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth. -George Washington |

| Posted almost 7 years ago I just wear mine in the shower....the detatchable shower head is great for getting the dust, dirt, and built up residues off the weapon and out of those hard to reach areas. A quick scrub down with gel or shampoo should occur immediately after the wash down, Pat dry with a soft towel, then dip immediately in the oil reclaimed from yesterday's truck oil change......WALL-lie....you have saved time - money - preserved a little water in the process and successfully completed a bonafide REDNECK gun cleaning......now get crackin - no excuses for dirty weapons or B.O. It is what it is.............and.........these things too shall pass. |

| Posted almost 7 years ago GregoryCarlSchuster says ... My Dad had/has a SIG 220 in .45 ACP that he shot US surplus ammo from "1942" he then put it away. I found it and cheched the barrel.....disaster. It took me a while to get the rust out, but I only treated th problem. It's now pitted all over on the inside, and lavender rust still grows in there from time to time. My father and I take those little 'Silica Gel' packets that come in the box with a new pair of shoes or in a bag of Jerkey, and toss them into our Bull Dog Safe. I put them in my Cabinet, and ammo cans. I took one from a jerkey packet and put it into the pistol case with the 220 and I hope that will keep the rust at bey for longer. Every few times I take it out to play with I take the barrel out and scrub the crap out of it. My Dad didn't even know how to field strip it. Idk if how ofter he cleans his guns. I imagine that when he give me my share of the collection that I'll have alot of work to do. He did the same with a repro 1858 Remington after a reenactment. My Brother (fschuster) and I could "barrely" see through the barrel. We cleaned it, but that one is still pitted to hell. I guess you could see that my Dad is more into the reloading, hunting, and amuntion research aspect of firearms. He also collects old military rifles, he has his C&R lisence (collectors and relics). I'd replace that barrel & probably the slide spring too. Could explode. Silica Paks work. Saw a guy coat an old Egyptian .43 rifle with Stove Paint once..you could stand it out in the rain till the barrel filled up! Tried almost everything in rust prevention. My hands sweat & will "rust" a .45, even parkarized. BEST product I found is made by Slick 50 Multi-purpose Lubericant, comes in a red full-size spray can with a black cap and used to be available at Advanced auto pts for about $3. Lasts forever. Once you get a good old washcloth impregnated with that stuff, can wipe a gun down in seconds. Whatever is in there, it actually works better than Breakfree, Ezox, Barstol Lube, 3-1 Oil, whatever. I've even used carnaba car wax -works in rainy weather...LOL Double coat things for storage & clean before use. TOOTHBRUSH is a good cleaner for breach-face & hard to reach areas. I have a $5 pistol kit (Walmart) that looks like a 4" gear shift knob 1" thick. The rods are inside and you can drop it in your pocket with a few pre-lubed patches in its screw tight compartment for emergency range cleaning. Anyone that uses metal clips they have to oil, BEWARE and actually make sure very light oiling. sometimes oil gets into the clip through the holes, clean it out. If it penetrates your ammo, it will fail...probably when needed most. RUST: A #2 pencil eraser will remove dry rust spots, flip it over & lead the spot, then touch up with a PermaBlue pen & oil it back to life. Fastest thing on all metal guns I have found is brake cleaner-it rolls the dirt right out, along with all oil, so re-oil it well. Used this to remove the old cosmoline from packed SKS & AK type guns. The grease turnes to liquid and runs away. You should be able to spray it on your hand-make sure it evaporates, not leaving an oily feeling. Gun Scrubber too expensive. Also, any chrome finish on aluminum ex: Berretta CF92, Gun Scrubber or anything like it will dissolve that finish. No go on any "plastic" guns either and will soften the slide rails causing slide breakage failure. My buddy who is a 1911 .45 nut always says he hates plastic guns, plastic snakes & plastic wemen...humm.. ALWAYS inspect slides and contact point rails for any cracks. S&W 5906, etc that have Aluminum alloy frames can fracture. Only use +P for duty, not practice. If the SPRING gets too weak from usage (replace every 5000-10000 rnds fired), it will not properly buffer that slide (slide buffers made of rubber help .45's) and can cause fracture from sheer force of cycling impacts. Anyone who owns a .40 calibre please find a reloading manual and look at the cup pressure the round has & limits compared to .45 & 9mm. Always use "Good" factory ammo. If you reload, know that there is a "very slim" margin of error where it either won't cycle & bullet stoppage in barrel or too much powder (only a few grains!) and this gun will explode. They are dangerous. Higest pressure I've seen, near the breaking point of metal. Know a local LEO that has blown up 2 Glock 40's in his hands with hotloaded handloads. The .40 is very touchy. Personally I'll stick with 9mm/ 1911A1 .45/12guage. The .357 sig in Glock is a cool round, but after watching people shoot it, wonder it you would ever get a fast follow-up shot since recoil seems horrible! If you have a dremmel & rubber taper tipped bit with some jewelers rouge, polishing the "hood" or top of the inside of the barrel will prevent jams as bullet stikes here when stripped off the clip (after going up the feed ramp which you should polish to mirror consistancy), bounces down (polish that part too...just don't get into the ring where the bullet seat-stops at) and stops against that seating ring. When cleaning be careful not to damage and make sure if dropped gun, check the "crown" or end of the barrel where the bullet has last contact before exiting. If damaged, bullet will fly off in some other direction. Might miss by 4ft. Oh crap, no good! The extractor: Check for any burrs & polish off (this can cause a jam too). The bottom of the "ejector port" where bullet comes out on .45 & most other guns can benefit from being polished. If a casing strikes it and it has a burr, it can ricochet back into the breach area and jam as the next round cycles. (Glocks pop out the top and a shell casing can actuall fall back down into it & jam. If advanceing foward, they fall down your neck (oh crap!) or if you're a lady, down the front...it can leave scar marks if not constantly moving. Also, beware if shooting, using doorjam for hand rest, where do your casings fly out? ..if hit the doorjamb, can ricochet back into the gun & jam or if you have to turn it sideways or up, this can happen too. If the slide touches the doorframe, pole, windshield post, etc. it will stop the slide (failure to go into battery). There's always some kind of tap, rack thing to clear this. Usually a half cycled shell is stuck at the bottom of the ramp and the expended case is gripped into the top of port. Smack the clip hard, jerking & flipping the slide (usually to right) (make sure that jammed round comes out (actually seen stuck so bad had to lock the slide open and reach over with other hand to pull it free). Releasing the slide, smacking the back of the slide to make sure "in battery" or fully closed. Hand loaded ammo if not taper-crimped will sometimes fail to close as it is "fat" and won't go all the way in the barrel. Sometimes the brass stretches and needs trimmed off- too long to close up. Tap, Rack (sometimes twice), Flip, Smack. Make sure you're still in a covered position or get to safety (shooting backwards to safe position until overwelming back-up brought to play). Soldiers move forward, always moving, but hey, they're up-armoured on their bodies too! Mostly it's a mental game. Play out all the scenaros, know what you will do, failure is not an option, never give up...you're going home at the end of the day and if the bad guy don't believe that, too bad for him, he should have thought it through.

| Posted almost 7 years ago There are a lot of bore cleaners out there. Can anyone suggest a good cleaner for a Glock? Also, because of my schedule, i'm not always able to clean my guns right after getting home from the range. How long can they sit before the time becomes a problem? I usually try to get them cleaned within 24 hours. I own other guns so I never have to rely on an uncleaned gun for protection. |

| Posted almost 7 years ago huslmoc says ... Glock? Don't think you have a problem unless you're using some 3rd world country's corrosive ammunition. Depends on ammo used. It it's PMC that leaves huge hunks of junk in there, clean it. Sellier & Bellot, Winchester...except Remington-also dirty, you'll be ok unless you've fired 500-1000 rnds at once. You should research what they have done with Glocks. They froze them, burried them, filled with sand, shook it out and fired it. Believe the 9mm can shoot underwater. Heard they had one at factory with over 500,000 rounds through it that's constantly kept shooting. I fired 4000+ through a police reconditioned G17 older model with 0 wear & 0 malfunctions. Someone tied one to a bouy at a sea retreat for 2-3 months underwater...1 speck of rust...whoopee. Don't use Gun Scrubber as it could weaken the polymer plastic. Break Free or Slick 50 Multi-Lube if can find. Find a butt-plug to plug up that hole at the back...keeps debri out of your mainspring. Some have lanyard loops (cost $10). wipe out your magazines from dust too. I have a bottle of copper solvant that I just dunk the whole barrel into, flip over and dunk in the other side, wipe off and then clean it. Tooth brush works good for nooks & crannies. When Knox County SO was first shown the Glock, thay laughed. Glock rep took a helicopter up (maybe 100-200ft) and dropped it out on concrete. Think the mag flew out. Who wants to shoot this? No response. Tied it to the car with a clothes hanger and dragged it to firing range 2+ miles away...with a police escort. Anyone wanna try... Hell no, it won't work.. it's coverd with dust, the sights are 1/2 worn away, probably full of gravel and all kinds of things broke. Rep put the clip in racked the slide, still smiling and shot the center out of the target, clip after clip after clip. They transitioned to the Glock 17. Think the gun is mean, you should see their Glock knife with the big serrated back blade. They even have a shovel that's probably tough enough to dig out a tank. Good luck, I tried to make mine fail. Sold it when the hi-cap mag price went to $100 each, for $200 more than I paid for it. I'll probably get a G19 as next gun. Only 3 firearms I ever saw you could throw up and point shoot, dead on target. G19, Russian Makarov, & CZ 52 (don't dry fire this one-break the firing pin). |

| Posted almost 7 years ago Chris_Cosgriff says ... Yep, .45 will get weak. Then, the last 2-3 rnds won't feed or jam. Don't know on many newer ones. Ruger & aftermarket mags for it & 5900 series don't seem to have problems (swapped out about every 1-2 months). Incidentally, the little Keltec P11 in 9mm will work with a bunch of mags, except a glock mag. Glocks: never swapped them out, had for years, always uploaded (they're pretty tight anyway). Used to have a Schaer 32rnd for my G17 older model. Called it the Oh Crap clip. Saved it in case of overwelming bad guys or just because I didn't want to spend all day loading up clips at the range...takes forever to empty it. It did get to where you could cram 34 rounds into it, but never did jam. It's probably the older, single stack magazines that suffered from this. Those little back-up guns I would definitely rotate them. I have a .25apc Raven 6rnd clip that I keep all uploaded and only download to clean the mags. No problems in the 15+yrs I have had them. Someone once mentioned the life on clip springs was 4-6yrs. Depends on quality of springs & mgf. Make sure to clean the clips out often though (they get full of dust & fuzz & any excess oil if it makes its way in there will penetrate the primer of your ammunition causing failure...when you need it most, probably. I rotate out the ammo, especially the round I sometimes leave in the barrel because oil can leak through the firing pin hole, onto the primer and kill that round if carried verticle. Look for sealed primers when buying ammo. You could actually seal them yourself...ex: rainy work environment, boat patrollers, etc. They make stuff for this that's like nail polish.

| Posted almost 7 years ago almstevill_665 says ... Yes, anywhere you can buy reloading supplies should have it or be able to order it. Brownells probably does (man, they got everything...the catalog is pretty impressive. Glock owners-neat stuff here: www.magills.com & www.glockstore.com ask for a catalog. Magills used to sell bullet-proof clipboards and briefcase inserts, etc) I just rotate the ammo and use the old clip ammo for target practice. If you are reloading and want it sealed properly, work in a humid environment where moisture could seep into the ammo or any maratime duty (boat patrol, sea duty) and could risk falling into the water, I would want to know that the thing would fire if needed. |

St. Norbert Wins Tournament Opener
From Sports Information Director, November 15, 2008 | Women's Basketball
by Dan Lukes, firstname.lastname@example.com, (920) 403-4077
The Green Knights will face UW-Stout in the championship game at 3 p.m. Sunday. Stout topped North Central College 87-70 in the other first-round contest.
St. Norbert held Northland scoreless the first 7 minutes 23 seconds of the game in jumping out to a 6-0 lead. The Lumberjills cut the deficit to 18-13 with 3:28 left in the half, but the Green Knights went on a 9-3 run to close out the half. Morgan Strasser's 3-pointer with 1:06 left in the half gave the Green Knights a 26-13 lead before settling on a 27-16 lead at halftime.
The Green Knights opened the second half on a 25-5 run to take a 52-21 lead with 12:15 left to play. St. Norbert led by as many as 33 points in the second half.
Twelve different Green Knights hit the scoring column, with Strasser's 12 points the only player ind ouble figures. Kristy Pelky and Jamie Kuhl had nine points apiece. St. Norbert shot 49.1 percent from the floor and had 25 turnovers.
Northland was led by Maria Mackey's 10 points. The Lumberjills, who had 34 turnovers, shot 33.3 percent from the floor making 15 of 45 field goals.
