1911 reliability?
I probably have a dumb question, especially since there are so many outfits making 1911 pistols. how do 1911 pistols generally rank as far as reliability? on various forums I have read comments that 1911's may not be as reliable in general as other designs. I'm not trying to be a troll, I have owned a Colt MKIV Series 80 Government model for 13 years. It has been reliable with 230 grain ball with standard springs and good mags. I probably don't shoot as much as some folks. to me reliability is everything as my "mindset" is focused on self defense applications. is the 1911 a reliable design for self defense?
I think the 1911 design is as absolutely reliable as any mechanical device can be. Just remember their are good and bad examples in everything man has ever made. A well made and well maintained 1911 will serve as well (or better) at your side as any other design.
I've legally carried a concealed weapon now for over 10 years. In that time, I've never had a 1911 failure that would have cost me my life. Sure there have been some problems along the way, but nothing life threatening. Heck, I've had a couple of problems with revolvers that were probably worse than anything I've had with a 1911.
I don't buy cheap guns, and I maintain them well. I rotate my magazines and replace springs when necessary. Do your part, and your trusted sidearm will do it's.

Let me put it this way... the 1911 set the reliability standard for all other handguns to best. Just like every other sidearm ammunition and magazines play an integral role in weapon reliability. Given quality magazines and ammunition a properly constructed 1911 will run and keep running long after youve tired of shooting it. What may cause some shooters to dismiss the 1911 as a valid personal sidearm is the extra maintenance required when compared to other pistol designs. Of course in return for a bit more operator care one gets a pistol that excels in every category over other pistols of comparable design. The 1911 provides a better balance of power, reliability, and ergonomics than any other design currently available and thats exactly why the 1911 is still a valid choice for a sidearm. The 1911 has a loyal following that has been justly earned.
The guns that are often claimed to be more reliable have seen very limited service, for short periods of time, while the 1911's reputation has been built over an 80-year period, in the harshest of environments. I have yet to see any service pistol display superior reliability and/or durability.
I think that accurized 1911 are more finicky due to very tight chambers your ammo needs to be near perfact with the matchbarrels/chambers they will be "mechanically reliable" but ammo sensitive. BUT the stock guns with good mags are very reliable, a lot of the problems with stockguns come from trash mags and loose grips, pay the money and get good wilson or CMC mags good ammo and give the pistol a good handshake grip and they will run forever and the UV light wont be breaking down Stainless Steel anytime soon

I wonder if, of the persons who owned 1911A1s and didn't feel that they were reliable was for the following reasons:
1) Purchased a 1911 that fit the lowest common denominator. MONEY.
Bought a inexpensive 1911 and had problems. There's nothing wrong with Llama's or Charles Daley, etc. But, we've all heard how one with be horrible and the next flawless.
2) Newbie bought a $2000 1911, and it had problems.
I have a SA mil spec with a few hundred rounds through it and it has been very dependable so far. Only problems so far has been 2 kinds of ammo mine doesn't like.
I own 7 handguns, and have been selective to what I am buying and have seen no real difference as far as relaiblity. SOme feel better, or have their controls in better positions, but a good gun is a good gun.

For self defence, I will carry no other fire arm. I play with Glocks. I have carried 1911's since my day's in Viet-Nam. Not going to change a thing. P.S. ball ammo is NOT the most reliable as some people think. I like Federal HYDRA-SHOK's or Aguila IQ's. Both work well. Eather will do the job...
There used to be a time when the reliability of any given 1911 was never qustioned. Just as today SIG's = reliability only a few short decades ago the same was said of the 1911. Unfortunately the spotty quality control and cost-cutting of the last 20 or so years by many 1911 makers has really affected the averages. Nowadays the average 1911 may be reliable, or it may be a bit temperamental until it's been tuned.
Avoid the temptation to replace everything on your brand-new 1911 just to make it "better". Know what you're changing out and why. You may spend a lot of money fixing things that weren't broken to begin with. Shoot at least 500 rounds through it first, then decide what you don't like and want to improve. Regarding vintage 1911s, pre-1946 pistols are highly collectible in original, unaltered condition and should NEVER be refinished or modified as it completely ruins their monetary value.
When I first got my 1911, I had a few issues. I came here, and bam, problem solved. The gun is older than I am, but is 100 % reliable, and all it needed was what many would consider routine upkeep. Very easy to shoot with some degree of accuracy, I intend to practice enough to become more effective with it. I also don't find that .45ACP is in anyway a brutal caliber in terms of recoil when fired from even a Commander sized 1911. My gun had some stage fright when it came out of the drawer after many years of never being used. Came home with me, and was a little shy. Changed the recoil spring, and the extractor, and now it shines, I haven't had problems feeding any kind of ammo, even truncated cone style JHP's. I have 19 months to train myself with this pistol, and then I can legally carry it. I doubt I look to anything else for self defense as I love the 1911 and have wanted one since I was 11.
I have A Gold Cup with aprox. 20,000 rounds through it. No jams ever. It even fed some SWC I loaded A bit to long that would not feed at all in my other normaly realible pistols
I am a Colt 1911 fan carry one daily 99 percent of the time.
My main carry at present is a Detonics Combat Master tuned by Hiene, over the last 15 years it has proved to be 100 reliable.
If I have the urge to carry a commander sized 1911 it will be my Safari Arms Enforcer which also proved 100 percent reliable after a tune up by Wilsons. For the 1 percent of the time I don't carry old slabsides it is a S&W K-Frame Model 66 with a 2 and a half inch pipe.
I want to congratulate badlander on his luck with his gold cup and let all know I had nothing but bad luck with one of my three gold cups. First range session after purchase the adjustable rear sight flew apart in under 50 rounds----a trip to Colt to have it replaced, after it was returned home on the fifth trip to the range the front sight worked it's way loose---and another vacation to Colt to have it restaked, when it was returned this time all was fine until the colet bushing broke a finger at about the 4,000 round point. At point I solid bushing installed and no problems since with this gold cup and it has proved to be one of most accurate Model 1911's after the initial bugs were worked out of the gun.
I feel the 45 Model 1911 and Model 1911A1s are as reliable and dependable as any SIG, Glock, H&K etc. if the owner maintains the sidearm correctly.
I would not carry any pistol or revolver that I haven't fired 500 rounds through without a malfunction of any type with the ammo I plan load it with.
Mountainoracle. I said it never jammed. I didn't say the rear sight never flew off!!! But it happened after many thousands of rounds. Replaced with A heavier pin. No other problems.
Note that the reputation for reliability and general ruggedness was made by the U.S. Army Model 1911 and Model 1911A1, made to rigid military specifications, not by the current crop of clones, too many of which are made to a price, with questionable workmanship and parts of poor quality or of unsuitable materials.
On another note, does anyone build an accurate mil-spec M1911 reproduction anymore?

For those who think you get better quality or reliability by spending the "big bucks" on a pistol, I will pass along a meeting I had at the range yesterday.
I was testing out different brand magazines with one of my 1911's. I log all of my shooting just to note how various combinations of pistols, magazines, and ammo types work. I noticed a guy standing just behind me observing all of my mags and my notetaking. He asked what I was doing and I explained my process. I told him that I had some ride-over on last rounds with one of my guns and that I was testing other mags to see if the problem went away - (it did, by the way, when using mags with a Wilson follower).
He told me he was shooting a Wilson CQB he had had for a short while. Then I asked him if he had ever had any reliability problems with his Wilson. He said that in fact he had some serious feeding problems, which occurred with cartridges in different positions in the magazine (sometimes 1st round, sometimes later rounds). He said he finally sent the gun back to Wilson and they tested the gun, then returned it to him, saying that they would have to replace the gun with another one and that he should use his first gun in the meantime while they had another gun made (I didn't think to ask him how long that was expected to be!). He was very impressed and happy that Wilson was going to replace the gun. He said he paid about $1900 for it.
I'm a little surprised that the cause of the problem is so severe that Wilson will have to "replace" rather than tune or repair the gun. While I'm impressed that they are going to replace the gun, I would expect any maker to do the same if that was the determined "fix". Bottom line, though, is that you can no more expect flawless reliability from a new and nearly $2000 Wilson CQB than you can from a $585 Colt Government model.
I shot his CQB a little bit and while it was a nice 1911, it didn't strike me as being much different than any of my $750 to $1100 Colts or Kimbers. Since my most expensive 1911's are Colt Special Combat Governments and a Springfield TRP, I used to think that owning a $2000 Wilson would be such a luxurious, special thing! Now that I've shot one, I think I'll save the money... I doubt I'll be hankering to spend $1900 on any 1911.... I don't think you have to spend that much money to get a great gun. If someone wants a Wilson and doesn't mind spending the dough, more power to ya! But don't expect much of a noticible difference in reliability or quality. Reminds me of a friend's Mercedes E320 which developed a very irritating noise that she spent nearly $1000 out of her own pocket for the dealer to track down and eliminate... they never could figure out the problem. She couldn't sell the car privately because of the noise and had to trade it in for a paltry credit toward her next car (not a Mercedes). Or another friend's new BMW 740 which during the first week of ownership broke down and refused to start and had to be towed from a Safeway parking lot. I suspect a new Toyota or Honda would be just as reliable as a Mercedes or BMW for two or three times the price.
I'm not sure any particular brand assures you of reliability, more prestige perhaps... I suspect that you're nearly as likely to get a box-stock Colt that's reliable as you are a $2000 box-stock Wilson. Not that the Wilson CQB isn't a fine pistol. In any event... function testing with the "system" (meaning the specific combination of gun, magazine, and ammo) is critically important to determine reliability before depending on that specific "system" for defense.
BTW, I asked him if he wanted to shoot my Colt Special Combat Government Hard Chrome version. He did, and smiled at how smooth functioning and firing the Colt was.
(P.S. I wouldn't mind owning a Wilson CQB, a Mercedes, or a BMW!)

Here is my opinion on this subject.
I don't feel defenseive handguns of any brand or design should be " Bank Vault" tight or excessively sloppy either.
Not being any manner of expert on the subject, I do have a little hands on experience.
Maybe I'm just lucky, who knows, but I have yet to experience the vast majority of problems most posters here have in twenty plus years of shooting 1911.
The majority of my 1911 problems can be traced directly to magazines or me. When I say me I am talking about sub par reloads, and mostly just doing my part.
I have been tinkering with my Colt-Sistema lately at the range.
The trigger is a little heavier than I am used to and I noticed I have been pulling it off target or jerking the trigger.
Since I left my practice dummies at the house I randomly mixed in 2 of my empties in 10 different magazines ( 2 emties in each mag).
Guess what, I did eventually masater the trigger. Not only that I learned something about my Sistema. It is utterly reliable, yes it fed every one of those 20 empty cartridges. I used two different 20 year old well used Colt 7 round mags.
This particular 1911 is the only one I have personally encountered that doesn't like Wilsons. Hell I bought two new Wilsons just for this Sistema.
These two Wilson's are yet to fail any my Colts or Kimber.
The point to all of this, my Sistema is really beat up and the barrel's rifling is barely visible. The pistol is worn, no it is really worn. But, it works every time. It also feeds every kind of hollow point I have been able to find over the counter.
Again it is only my opinion but there may not be a lot of part in the 1911 design, but they have to work and they have to work together. I don't like my 1911s to be too tight.
No put down on Glocks intended or Glock owners but.... While I was at the range with my Sistema the guy next to me was shooting or trying to shoot a G21 with factory mags.
I am constantly hearing, how reliable Glocks are. Since he was having trouble I was curious. He was having all kinds of failures,
FTFs and FTEs. Like I said I was curious so I asked what the problem was. All he could say is how he just got screwed on a used Glock. Before I knew it he asked me if I wanted to buy it real cheap. I said maybe but I wanted to shoot it a little first based on his problems. He agreed. I ran a box of his Hydra's and a box of his Sabres though it as well as a box of my white box Win fmj's. I am not real familiar with the glock so I don't really know why but I had zero malf. I asked him how much he wanted for it. He backed out real quick without a single word and took off in his pickup.
My whole point of all ends up in a question.
I know now that I cause most of my shooting/ handgun problems:
How many of you have considered this ?
Just something to think about.
Guns don't kill people,
People kill people!
marvl said,
"I think the only way to ensure reliability on most 1911s is to have a good smith rework the gun or maybe stick with a high-end Les Baer."
This seems to be a prevelent attitude these days but frankly I don't understand where it comes from. The shooters in my family (my wife and sister) and I have had consistantly reliable functioning from a number of standard 1911s, mostly Colt but a couple others and not high end semi-customs.
My old department was one of the first in our state to issue semiautos (Colt MK IV '70s starting in 1978). Those guns all functioned 100% with ball and out 230g RN lead practice ammo. In one training session I had a department issue Government Model go through over 700 rounds of the reloads in one session without a malfunction (and this was with 27 different people shooting it).
I cracked the frames on three alloy framed Commanders with up to 7000 rounds each. Before the frames cracked those Commanders functioned reliably with standard barrels. They weren't even "throated".
I could add several other stories of Government Models, Combat Commanders and Officer's ACPs, plus my wife's new Kimber Ultra. The point is these guns don't need "...to have a good smith rework the gun..."
When I was my department's chief firearms instructor and someone had problems with their 45 Auto, the first thing I looked at was lubrication (dry guns malfunction at a much higher rate). Second was techinque (limp wristing can induce malfunctions, particularly with people who think heavy recoil springs are needed). Third was ammo, and finally magazines. Only after all those things had been checked and/or corrected did I consider the gun itself. Usually the problem was solved long before I got halfway through the check list.

Almost any 1911 can be made very reliabile.
But out of the box, the 5" Gov model will give the best reliability with the least care and maintance.
From there, the more parts ya add to customize and the tighter the fit, the more ya better pay attention to care and maintance.
The same goes for barrel length. The 5" is top dog for reliability with the least care and maintance.
The more ya cut off the barrel, the more you will have to care and maintain the pistol to keep it running reliabile.
Most of the 1911 problems I've seen had little to do with how much the pistol cost, but did have alot to do with how the gun was maintaned.
Jim is right. It was the military version that earned the reliability sticker, not the clones. They are not 1911sor even 1911A1s. They are just knock off copies. The military basically stopped buying 1911a1s in 1947. Colt kept the old manufacturing methods until the 1970s. After that production quality started getting spotty since the military inspectors and the original craftsmen were long gone and machinery was replaced as it wore out. Once upopn a time (pre 1970) Colt would be ashamed to allow a questionable weapon to leave their factory. Those discriminating people are long gone and some of their post 1970 stuff is of clone quality. The Argentine Systema Colts ARE Colts, built on Colt machinery to Colt (US Military) design specifications and fully deserving of the 1911 reliability label. The broad arrow stamped Colt Commercial 1911A1s are okay too. A lot of 1911s and 1911A1s were shipped to the UK during WWI and WWII and are fine guns when located. Likewise, the Norwegian 1914 weapons of pre German invasion/takeover manufacture are also Colts built on Colt approved machinery deserving of the 1911 reliability label. My advise is avoid any 1911 type weapon that wasn't made before 1960. I recognize this limits you to a pool of only 2.5 million made. Still you shouldn't have too much trouble finding one. Avoid guns in known poor condition, cracked frames, or that have been altered or customized by someone else then sold because the alterations destroyed it. If you encounter an early National Match pistol, grab it. Don't worry about finish. After 50+ years you should expect the finish to be worn or browning and you should be suspicous if it isn't. I have a half dozen or so 1911s. Several are pushing 90. All are in fine shape, 100% reliable and work great. A possible exception to the avoid rule are the Colt Combat Elite models and the Series 80 pistols. Handle and inspect the gun before you buy it, if choosing one of those. The series 80 firing pin safety is a good improvement as a duty weapon if you carry loaded and hammer down, but you can only do that safely if you swap out the narrow hammer for a wide 1911 type one. The 1911A1 and commander type hammers are too small to safely decock. Any semi auto gun requires magazine maintenance (rotation) at scheduled periods (two weeks is good although some get away with years between) as springs can take a set when stored under compression. Most reliability problems with old 1911s and military 1911A1a can be traced to the magazine and are not really the gun's fault. Sell off your old two tone and lanyard loop magazines to a collector and replace them with Wilson or early Pachmyer (if you can find one) magazines. Buy some replacement magazine springs from Wolf. If using a 90 year old pistol for carry please pick up copies of Kuhnhausen's 2 books, and take measurements of critical parts. If you replace some springs, then replace them all. Wolf sells spring kits. Replace old parts as they wear (if wear occurs) with quality replacement parts from Brownell. (Incidently, although not discussed in his book, oversize pin holes can be compensated for by larger pins, or repairing and redrilling the holes. I have never encountered an out of round, or oversized pin hole in an original 1911 or a US military surplus 1911A1 and suspect this is an illness either confined to the clones, or the result of abuse.) Keep your ammo pressures within the pressure range of the old US military ball ammo. If you buy an original 1911 then, in my experience, there is no need to throat or polish the barrel ramp as the passage of 5,000 plus rounds over the past 80 years has already polished the barrel and all of my 1911s feed hardball and JHPs (even those by Speer and Federal) with no alteration to the gun and no problem. Clean the old gun, it might be the first time it has been detail cleaned in 40+ years. Enlarging the ejection port is an option, but probably not needed. A Commander type ejector changes the mechanism's timing. Read what Kuhnhausen says about that and contemplate before going there. A rubber recoil buffer from Wilson doesn't hurt. Sight replacement with the new wide square notch and an approriate Trijicon type front sight is a plus. I like to stipple the front strap of mine for a better grip. If you don't want to alter the gun, skateboard tape makes a good removable substitute that gives the same effect. Plastic parts on the newer Colts should be replaced with steel ones from Brownell's. Buy some target ammo and practice with the gun. The weak recoil of mild target ammo might cause misfeeds. This is normal and should disappear when firing full power 230 grain surplus military ball ammo. You will be fine and the pistol will be eagerly inherited by your great grand kid as his/her carry gun 90 years from now. Just stay away from the clones and think 1911 Colt Commercial or US/Norwegian/Argentinia/British military accepted surplus 1911 or 1911A1 only.
The 1911 does want certain kinds of ammo. Some modern truncated cone type hollow-points don't feed so well - since the gun was originally designed for ball.
My GI-1911 has about 5000 rounds through it and only had two very minor malfunctions. Both were at the end of 300 round shooting sessions, using hand loaded hollow points, when the gun was dirty and I was tired and the slide didn't go all the way into battery. Slight bump to the rear of the slide remedied it easily and took me out of the action for all of 1.5 seconds. I think it was me failing to keep a firm grip on it - one of the requirements for an auto with a heavy slide.
I have two other 1911's, a Kimber compact, and a Colt Gold-Cup. The compact only ever gave me problems when I let the recoil spring go way to long without replacement. The Gold cup is finicky with hollow point ammo, but since I polished the feed ramp (which had nasty machining marks on it), I haven't had a problem in the last 1000 rounds of mixed loads.
I also have an HK-USP compact .45, and a Glock-30 .45. The HK feeds flawlessly with any type of ammo, but one day the C-clip that keeps the guide rod secure popped off while I was shooting it. The Glock also feeds flawlessly but the chrome plating on the firing pin de-laminated one day, clogging it up, rendering it useless. The faulty part was promptly replaced for free by Glocks excellent customer service. Two weeks ago my friends Glock broke it's extractor while we were shooting. My friends Taurus revolver binds up due to little burrs on the cylinder. My new Ruger Super Redhawk binds up with certain ammo types. Both my CZ-75's stove pipe or FTF on occasion. My Beretta 92 has yet to let me down but has only 1000 rounds on it.
BTW nothing has ever broken on any of my 1911s. Knock on wood.
I think if you replace the recoil spring every 2000 rounds, shoot ball or hollow points that aren't cone shaped, and keep a firm grip when shooting, the 1911 is as reliable as anything out there. IMHO it's also much more pleasant to shoot and easier to shoot accurately. It's also not nearly as wide as the modern tupperware, so you can actually carry a full sized auto concealed.

I'm willing to bet the failures with that Glock were related to how he held the firearm. I've put close to 750 rounds through my M1911 Replica, and have only had one failure-to-feed. I'd put several mags through it in succession without problem, when someone else on the range asked if he could try it. Loaded up a mag for him, and let him have a go at it. He'd been shooting several different pistols, and mentioned something about being fairly new to shooting. Second round fired, the round (factory ball) catches on the frame. Limp wristing, perhaps, or maybe he was impairing the slide movement somehow, and slowing it down. Either way, I'm nearly positive that single failure was a direct result of the fact he didn't know how to handle a gun, past the basic rules of safety. So, who knows.
Ancient thread. Please don't bring these things back from the dead, guys.
Avoid the temptation to replace everything on your brand-new 1911 just to make it "better". Know what you're changing out and why. You may spend a lot of money fixing things that weren't broken to begin with. Shoot at least 500 rounds through it first, then decide what you don't like and want to improve. Regarding vintage 1911s, pre-1946 pistols are highly collectible in original, unaltered condition and should NEVER be refinished or modified as it completely ruins their monetary value.

Sir Alex Ferguson today promised that Wayne Rooney would still be at Manchester United next season despite leaving him out of the team against Real Madrid this week.
Rooney's relegation to the substitutes' bench for the Champions League defeat at Old Trafford appeared to place his long-term future at United in doubt and the England striker was linked with a move away from the club.
But ahead of his team's FA Cup quarter-final against Chelsea on Sunday, Ferguson sought to dismiss the notion that his relationship with Rooney had deteriorated. "He will be here next year, you have my word on that," said Ferguson. "There is no issue between myself and Wayne Rooney. To suggest we don't talk is nonsense.
"He understood the reasons completely [for being left out of the team against Madrid].
"Tactically, we got it right. We don't always but we did then. There are no issues with the player and he will be involved against Chelsea.
"I left out Shinji Kagawa after he scored a hat-trick in the previous game against Norwich. I thought I would get more stick for that."
Ferguson refused, however, to confirm that Rooney would start against Chelsea, although he did suggest that the 27-year-old needed regular games in order to maintain a high level of fitness.
The Scotsman added: "Why should I help anyone by telling them my team? We don't do that. But Wayne does need a lot of football. He has always been that type. That's always been the case."
Ferguson's team have now set their sights on a domestic Double to assuage the pain of their exit from the Champions League.
Real progressed 3-2 on aggregate after their 2-1 triumph but Ferguson remains upset about Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir's controversial decision to send off Nani in the second half, with the home team leading 1-0.
Cakir has now sent off seven players from English teams but never a member of the opposition in those matches.
"I was concerned," Ferguson admitted. "I said that to my staff. I had a big worry about it but that is gone now. There is nothing we can do about it. Quite simply, it's hard to keep your faith in the game when we see what's happened.
"It's the third time we've been knocked out by a referee's decision and it's not easy to take. But we have to deal with it.
"The important issues of the quarter-final on Sunday are clear in my mind and we have to get on with it. It's another day in the history of the club.
"My job is to galvanise the troops. We owe our supporters a good performance on Sunday. We're at home and we're happy. Hopefully, we can navigate this tie, get to the semi-finals and give ourselves a chance of winning this Cup."
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini does not think he has a realistic chance of signing Rooney.
City were heavily linked with a move for the striker during the player's infamous contract stand-off with United in 2010.
Mancini said: "Rooney is one of the best strikers in Europe but I don't think [he will leave United].
"I understand maybe he would be upset if he didn't play but these things happen in every team. After one week it is finished."

Thousands visit Arab festival; some protest Islam

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — The 2012 Arab International Festival has drawn thousands of visitors to the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, as well as attracting some anti-Muslim protesters.
The festival opened Friday and ends Sunday in Dearborn, a community with large Arab-American and Muslim populations. About 300,000 people in southeastern Michigan have roots in the Arab world.
The festival includes concerts by more than a dozen Arab musicians and a range of Middle Eastern foods and products.
A number of Christian missionaries have picketed the festival. One brought a pig's head Friday.
One group called the Bible Believers held signs saying "Islam is a religion of blood and murder" and "Muhammad is a … liar."
The Detroit Free Press (http://on.freep.com/LeAf99 ) says horse-mounted Wayne County sheriff's deputies kept young Arab Americans away from the protesters.

CISF constable found dead at Rashtrapati Bhavan
August 31, 2005 09:25 IST
Last Updated: August 31, 2005 09:28 IST
A Central Industrial Security Force constable on guard duty outside the Rashtrapati Bhavan was found dead with gunshot wounds on Wednesday, police sources said.
Constable Krishna Kumar had bullet wounds on his upper torso and head, they said.
Police said they were investigating whether it was a case of suicide or accidental firing as no suicide note had been found at the sentry post outside the presidential residence where Kumar was on duty.
The incident took place overnight and was reported to police by Kumar's colleagues.
A fortnight back, a CRPF jawan posted at Union Minister Dayanidhi Maran's residence had shot dead his senior colleague, apparently due to some personal enmity.

A recent Gallup poll shows that 57 percent of Democrats approve of the way the United States Supreme Court handles its job.
Nearly the same percentage of Republicans disapprove of how the justices are ruling. The court starts its 2012 term
Overall, 49 percent of people polled approve of the way the Supreme Court handles its job, and that is one of the lowest approval ratings since Gallup began asking this question in 2000. The average approval rating is 54 percent.
The poll results also show that a majority of Republicans think the court is too liberal and more than a third of Democrats see the court as too conservative. Nearly one-fifth of Independents indentify the court as too liberal or too conservative, with half saying the court's ideology is just right. Half of Independents also approve of the way the court handles its job.
As Gallup points out, these poll results are affected by the court's rulings, as is shown by the increase of Democratic approval after the court upheld the health care law in June.

College coeds are accepted to the Academy for their personal-development that includes bare-bottom spankings for disobedience or misbehavior. Real, hard, natural, and authentic bare-bottom spankings are frequently administered to correct the girls. "NOTE: WMV-11 or WMV-12 may be needed to view these videos."
Signup to receive updates and news from Spanked Coeds.
Lexy has returned home to her Daddy and finds out that she will do whatever domestic chores she is told to do. Here she is spanked for not cleaning up the kitchen as she was supposed to.
Courtney here portrays Shelly, a 23-year-old girl who lives in a very strict religious community, and is still spanked at home by her dad and mom. This is the first of 2 parts. Here Shelly is spanked both at work and when she gets home.
Bridget thinks she is going to leave the home without a Preemptive Spanking and before she gets her Morning Obedience Spanking. She's wrong. Here she receives a 5-minute spanking, that will be followed by several more spankings, to be shown later.
Kendra is made to strip naked and kneel to present her bare bottom for a 4 minute, 25 second spanking with the Discipline Strap.
Danielle is the secretary of the Headmaster and has deleted important computer files. The Headmaster is going to "blister her bottom" for doing so. And, yes, he does in fact "blister" her bottom with a very hard hand spanking!
Kendra needs to learn to obey and behave properly. She is spanked repeatedly, stripped naked for measurements and inspections, and ... spanked repeatedly!
Kendra has come to the Finishing School to receive the punishment she needs to make her work better as a maid. And, her boyfriend has sent her here to train her to be more obedient to him and serve him right.
Kami is a new girl who has come to the Finishing School to help her improve her grades and be a more obedient and properly-behaving girl. To make sure she can do well at the school, she is given her Orientation Spanking. This is Part 1 with her over my knee getting spanked.
This film is designed to demonstrate the punishment of a disobedient girl. She is spanked long and hard in a variety of positions and with a variety of implements. This punishment was administered to a girl I was controlling, and she was punished during a 2-hour punishment session during which time she was spanked for over 1 hour plus another 15 minute whipping when she failed to provide me with proper sucking services!
As Madison continues to learn that she will be responsible in taking care of the home, she now learns how to take care of the kitchen. Again, a good face-slap gets her attention. Then a good lecture and spankings ensue. Another great spanking movie!

Canada is seeing e-health gains in the area of medication, with an estimated $436 million in cost savings and efficiencies this year, a report released Wednesday says. Drug information systems, which are hooked up now mainly in the western provinces and Prince Edward Island and to a lesser extent elsewhere, allow pharmacists and health-care providers to electronically access records of a patient's prescription medications. And they provide a full and accurate medication history so that potential drug interactions or allergies can be caught before they happen. The $436-million tally and report were compiled by Deloitte for Canada Health Infoway, a federally funded organization that was founded in 2001 and charged with helping provinces and territories to adopt electronic health-record projects.
"We expect that number to increase over time as drug information systems are more widely used in the country, and we get more experienced with their use," said Jennifer Zelmer, senior vice-president of clinical adoption and innovation at Infoway.

My daughter will turn two in a couple of days and out of nowhere, she is now saying no and having little tantrums! I do baby massage, use chamomile soap, lavender oils and calming talk to see if I can relax her mood. But some days she just wants to tantrum. What should I do to help her with her emotions, without any yelling or spanking. (I deplore both)
Married to my love One amazing, creative and beautiful daughter
My DD went through a "no!" phase. The answer to anything was no. My DH and I joked about being able to understand which nos were really yeses. A no that meant yes sounded more like a question. We didn't really react to the nos. If we thought a no meant yes we'd go anyway or offer her things physically instead of asking.
Tantrums are how little ones learn to deal with overwhelming emotions. They are developmentally useful, so you shouldn't discourage them but help your DD through them. Two year olds are realizing they can have some control over themselves and there is so much cognitive development going on, but they still have no impulse control or understanding of delayed gratification. It's just a very frustrating and overwhelming age sometimes. I would verbally sympathize, labeling the emotion, and just be there for my DD until the tantrum was over. So I'd say, "I'm sorry you're angry/frustrated/sad about xyz but it's dangerous/too late/raining/etc." and rub her back or offer to hold her. It seemed to help if I explained why anytime I said no about something, especially if the reason was "it's dangerous". Sometimes asking if she wanted to nurse before it got to a point of a tantrum helped. 2.5 was the worst age for tantrums and about a month or so after turning 3 she started labeling her own feelings (I'm angry!) and most of the tantrums stopped. Also telling your LO what she can do instead of what she can't, can help. For example, saying 'walking feet, please, instead of "stop running" or 'that's dangerous, you can jump on the bed/wherever' instead of 'stop jumping on the couch'. The book Raising Your Spirited Child by Mary Kurcinka is good, even if your kid is not quite spirited. It helps you identify your child's temperament traits and by understanding your child's temperament it's easier to understand what things trigger tantrums or misbehavior in your child.
Tantrums and nos are normal for the 1.5-5yo set. It's part of how they learn! It's an earsplitting good sign that they are developing normally.
I know it's not fun but having patience and a calm attitude can really help you through it.
The happiest Toddler on the Block helped me reframe tantrums and gain an empathetic perspective. Other issues to consider with mood swings in toddlers are food issues (protien packed breakfasts, limited or eliminating gluten, eliminating dyes and sweeteners etc) sleep issues, ensuring a child gets enough sleep is huge, especially as the world gets too exciting to sleep through. Limiting screen time and increasing active play where possible. Bot most importantly for me was keeping calm and NOT taking it personally as a sign that I was failing to meet their needs. Tantrums happen and they are nothing to be embarassed about or anything to try and stop from happening.
I have read here that having a tantrum place in the house has been a good solution...having a hard time keeping it together, let's go to the tantrum place and calm down, where there are pillows and stuffies and they can nurse or have a sippy of warm milk, and just breathe in dimly lit place with mama nearby if desired or just around the corner if preferred and just ahhhhhhhh.
I find that when either kid is tantruming or just flipping out in public I first get down on their eye level and empathize if that doesn't stop it, if they really go NUTS I can usually take them outside for a minute or two and they will calm down just with a change of scenary. That being said, if I really have to get the shopping done, I let them have their feelings in the cart because I have learned to not be embarassed by their screaming anymore. If I can, I take them home, and go to their rooms where we can chill down and out and get a fresh perspective on the issue.
I try to remember when I was a teenager and things that seemed the end of the world to me were minimized as no big deal by my mom and how NUTS that made me, and try to think about how a two year old might feel...they are much less rational than a teenager, so I figure it ought to be even more important to them and try to find a way to help them meet the need they feel they have without belittling or invalidating their feelings. Instead of saying "it's okay. Mommy's here, It's okay. You're okay." which it obviously is NOT and they obviously ARE not, I say "it's going to be okay. You're really upset/hurt/scared right now, but it's going to be better, Mommy will help you fix it, It'll be okay." Somehow, this small semantic tweak has made a difference between 2 minutes of rocking and crying and 15 minutes of flailing and wailing, and I think, especially at two, depsite not speaking much, they seem to know the difference between being told they are not really hurt or that there really isn't anything to be upset about versus being validated and having the offer of help.
Not to worry though. You're not doing anything to cause them and there is nothing you can or could have done to avoid it...it's just part of going from a baby to a kid. Stock up on soothing teas...for YOU!
Yep, tantrums are part of the package--kids have full-sized emotions, even if they have hardly any power or ability to do what they want. I'd be frustrated, too! Empathy is a big part of handling them and helping the kids through them. But don't make the mistake of giving in to a tantrum once you've said no--you can sympathize, but don't let the tantrum become a tool that your child uses to get what they want. Our rule here has been that once you've had a tantrum over something, I can't give it to you, even if I would otherwise. That helps my older kids get a grip on themselves.
What BirdGirl said!
Being consistent is a big part of tantrum management. If a child learns that she can get her way by throwing a fit, of course she's going to throw another one! But if a child learns that No means No, eventually she learns that the tantrum isn't worth the time and energy (but be forewarned - this can take a long time!) Meanwhile, as other said, learning to deal with overwhelming emotions is an important life skill. The way you respond to the tantrum can have a big impact - if you go out of control, the child has no example of what they should do. But if you empathize and identify the emotion, she learns that it's OK to feel mad or frustrated or disgusted or whatever.
In our house, it was OK to have those emotions, but it wasn't OK to have them in public areas (like the dinner table). A screaming child was brought into the nearest bedroom, to calm down or scream, whichever met the immediate need - but not at the mercy of a pleasant dinner for everyone else. While carrying the mad child to the bedroom, I'd quietly ask "Do you want to sit on the bed or the chair? Lights on or off? Door open or closed? Do you want me to stay with you?" I think having control over these little things helped make him feel like he wan't completely OUT of control, even if his emotions were. If he wanted to be alone, I'd go back often, to see if he wanted a hug, or Mommy time, or a drink of water - whatever. The message was that I wasn't abandoning him because he was mad. We also never had a set time limit to be apart from the action. I said "You can come out as soon as you're able to stop yelling". Sometimes my son would hitch in a big breath and follow me right out of the bedroom, and that was fine. Other times he'd be in there for an hour or more, because the emotions were too big to get a handle on right away. I know I've sometimes just needed a great big cry, so I could relate to that. It sure wouldn't help me if someone said "OK, you've had enough - stop crying now!"
I've always considered 2 to be the Age of Frustration. They want to run and jump, but don't have great gross motor strength. They want to pick up tiny objects, but don't have the fine motor skills. They have a million things to say, but don't have the language ability. Who wouldn't be frustrated? The more consistency and routine we can offer, the easier it is to get through those periods.
If the chips are down, the buffalo is empty.
While I agree that one shouldn't give IN to a tantrum thrown over the answer no, one might find that the tantrum is about not being able to communicate the need in the first place and in that instance I think it is okay, once you get to bottom of what is being requested to meet the need if it is a reasonable request.
I don't necessarily agree that having a tantrum means you don't ever ever get what you are asking for, especially since many times for ME and my kids, If I am honest the tantrum is because either *I* was not really listening, I haven't kept them fed and well rested, or I have disrupted their lives with my own chaos. I also find sometimes I say no as a gut reaction and upon listening to my kids and the moment, I realize that despite their lack of communication skills my no was not fair or reasonable. If I choose not to bend I feel it sets up a dynamic of me being sort of loony and unpredictable and unreasonable. I like knowing my kids can count on me to make decisions that are fair.
When I can honestly answer that the tantrum is not because of those things, than yes, I'm a total hardass, but if I sense that there is more at play than the fact that DS really really wants a 4th yogurt, and that maybe the need is a hug and a story and cuddle...I'll give him the hug and story and cuddle once we get to there.
Trying to keep a balanced point of view and genuine empathy has worked well for us.

I really agree with this. Having a tantrum doesn't automatically mean the answer is no. Sometimes a LO gets upset so easily or communicates so poorly the tantrum is already happening before you can figure out what they want. When what they want is unreasonable or dangerous then your no's need to be inflexible. It's good to try to wait until you really know what they want before saying no. I have changed my mind after saying no a few times, but it wasn't because of the tantrum, but because I didn't understand clearly or answered before thinking. I usually said something like "oh, I'm sorry I didn't understand, yes you can xyz....".
Yep, I agree too! I suspect most tantrums are about frustrations not associated with not "getting one's way".
But I also believe that we can reinforce tantrums, if we do (or give) whatever we can to make the crying stop.
If the chips are down, the buffalo is empty.
My daughter is a very gentle child, who started speaking pretty early. When she has her tantrums, I feel like it is because she just can't get her thoughts out the way she wants. I just don't want her to understand that a tantrum will give her what she wants. Entering the toddler years is challenging, mostly because communication is still developing. I appreciate everyone's opinions and will definitely take it to heart.
Married to my love One amazing, creative and beautiful daughter

Art Style: Cubello
by Professor Layton
reviewed on WII
Surprise, surprise
Surprise, surprise. Just when we thought we had Wiis latest franchise Art Style figured out, Nintendo throws a curve ball at us. What many expected to be the US counterpart to the infamous Japan-only Bit Generations series really turned out to be a series boasting elegant design, polished graphics, and pick-up-and-play controls. Behold, the second game in the series, Art Style: Cubello.
With the tsunami of puzzle games hitting WiiWare, many may be disappointed to hear that Cubello is yet another one. That doesnt mean that it is another generic puzzle game not worthy of your attention. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Cubello is one of the most impressive and unique puzzle games to hit any system in the past decade.
Raising the Bar
Cubello is an amazingly simple three-dimensional puzzle game that mixes the strategy and feel of a traditional puzzle game with the precision and reflexes required in a shooter. Taking the aspects of these two genres, Nintendo has used the Wiis unique capabilities as an emulsifier to make them go hand-in-hand.
That is only the surface of Cubello, though. What the game truly excels at is raising the bar for the genre. Like Art Style: Orbient, Cubello is best played in short sessions instead of countless hours. Playing it that way you will notice that the games concept doesnt get old, a problem that many of its peers are experiencing. The concept is so well executed that it is pretty hard to get bored of playing it.
Fire away!
Each puzzle -or stage- in Cubello consists of a large array of multi-colored cubes that form into a large object referred to as a Cubello. This object rotates and floats around the screen as you play, making it difficult to solve the puzzle. The objective of each level is to launch colored cubes from your magazine, a bar on the side that contains cubes, at the Cubello in order to destroy cubes so that a single, unique cube remains. To add strategy to the game, your magazine can only hold ten cubes.
Once four or more cubes of the same color come in contact with each other, they disappear from the playing field. It doesnt matter how the cubes are connected; the main thing to remember is that they must touch each other. Yes, that means that diagonals arent acceptable, but on the bright side, every other combination works! Four in a row, column, square, rectangle, polygon, etc it all works.
Centre of the Cubello
By making cubes disappear from the Cubello, any detached cubes will come crashing to the core, sometimes resulting in additional cubes disappearing. Throughout various points in each stage, additional cubes may be randomly added to the Cubello, often ruining your strategy. Yes, thats right, there is some strategy in Cubello. Just randomly firing cubes wont get you through the level. Each cube you fire increases the number of turns and you lose a cube from your magazine. When your magazine hits 0, it is game over.
Worthy of your points?
Things just keep getting better, dont they? Thankfully, the sound and visuals keep with the pattern as well. Crisp and clean visuals accompany a robust array of sound effects and soothing background music. Topping everything off is the excellent voice that speaks every time you fire at a cube. Though I liked the addition of this voice, I can easily understand why some people may not like it.
Clocking in at only 47 blocks and 600 Wii Points, Cubello is easily one of the most impressive WiiWare games. When I think of WiiWare, I think of games that have a lot to offer but wouldnt be worth a retail purchase. Cubello fits right under that thought and thankfully, the game is enjoyable. Like Orbient, this is a must-have game, period.

Credit NotesCREDITS AND FEEDBACK FROM MODELS
I must admit that as a model I have worked with all kind of photographers from very professional to not so professional, so understandably I was skeptical about shooting with a photographer from Model Mayhem. However, when I shot with him those worries disappeared. Not only was he very detailed and meticulous about each shot, but at no point did I feel uncomfortable around him while shooting. Its rare to find a photographer that can do all these things and still deliver an amazing shot. His eye for beauty, is undeniable! I had no idea that I could be captured so beautifully! I was amazed by how absolutely breath taking almost every shot was, and you will be too. I expect nothing but good things to come from him as photographer, and so happy to have been able to work with him.

Well something to say about you and your work, is it is outstanding. I was very comfortable working with you. You knew what you where doing in terms of lighting, using your camera, and location. You have a good idea of what you want and what your looking for. Perfection is your focus and you get it done. It was a pleasure working with you and looking forward to working with you again.

It was a pleasure working with you. As a photographer he is professional, selective, and tuned in with every detail. He has an extremely creative mindset, with the ability to transform a model. Thanks for a great shoot!

Thank you! I love the way you work! You're so detail oriented and a perfectionist, which I appreciate when I am not "on set" to fix any stray hairs, etc. I can't wait to see the rest of the pics! :)

Cam Thomas DL KC (10) 2 weeks ago
Thomas signed a contract with the Chiefs on Friday, Terez A. Paylor of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas, formerly a 2010 fifth-round pick by the Chargers, fits the mold of a true, two-gap nose tackle. He'll compete with Jarvis Jenkins and Montori Hughes for the backup job to starting defensive tackle Bennie Logan.
Cam Thomas DL KC (10) 2 years ago
Thomas failed to record a tackle, playing just six defensive snaps in Pittsburgh's 27-17 win over Cincinnati on Sunday night.
With only 18 tackles including one half sack Thomas' first season with Pittsburgh was his worst since his rookie season with San Diego in 2010.
Cam Thomas DL KC (10) 3 years ago
Cam Thomas is currently penciled in as the Steelers' starting left end.
Thomas was a 3-4 nose tackle with San Diego last year, but the Steelers plan to use him at five-technique end opposite Cameron Heyward. Still only 27 years old, Thomas offers some upside as a two-gap lineman whose primary responsibility will be run stopping. He likely won't play on passing downs. The Steelers lean on their linebackers and Dick LeBeau's zone blitzes to create pressure.
Cam Thomas DL KC (10) 3 years ago
The Steelers plan to use Cam Thomas at five-technique defensive end.
Thomas played nose tackle at North Carolina and with the Chargers, but the Steelers envision him as a two-gap space eater at left end. Thomas was an inconsistent run defender in San Diego, but has never lacked talent and is only 27. Steve McLendon will stay at nose tackle. Cam Heyward is the other end.
Cam Thomas DL KC (10) 3 years ago
Steelers signed NT Cam Thomas, formerly of the Chargers, to a two-year contract.
It was Thomas' only visit of free agency. He appeared in all 16 games in 2013, starting ten, and made 23 tackles. Thomas is best against the run but isn't a game changer and doesn't generate much pressure as a pass rusher. His addition could force NT Steve McLendon to one of the end spots, replacing departed Ziggy Hood.
Cam Thomas DL KC (10) 3 years ago
The Steelers will host free agent NT Cam Thomas on Friday.
Thomas has never lacked talent, but his consistency has been a huge issue in the pros, and he was benched late last season for Sean Lissemore. If you've never head of Lissemore, we don't blame you. Thomas is 27 years old.
Cam Thomas DL KC (10) 4 years ago1 Comment
Chargers NT Cam Thomas has lost his starting job to Sean Lissemore.
Thomas has started ten games this season, but he and Lissemore have been rotating. The Chargers are surrendering 115.8 yards on the ground per game, good for the No. 19 spot in the league. 27-year-old Thomas, who is in a contract year, has graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 56 defensive tackle out of 69 qualifiers. Lissemore was acquired from the Cowboys in the summer.
Cam Thomas DL KC (10) 4 years ago
The Chargers have "penciled in" Cam Thomas as the team's starting nose tackle.
Thomas has started just five games in his short career, but veterans Antonio Garay and Aubrayo Franklin are no longer sporting powder blue. It's Thomas' turn. The 6-foot-4, 335-pound behemoth could be looking at a nice pay day if he shows well in his new role. Thomas has one year left on his rookie deal. He'll be flanked by Corey Liuget and Kendall Reyes on the defensive line.
Cam Thomas DL KC (10) 4 years ago
Chargers NT Cam Thomas' 2013 base salary increased from $575,000 to $1.323 million after he hit escalators in his rookie deal.
Thomas has started just five games in his career, but he's been an important rotational lineman who has shown the ability to put pressure on the quarterback. He has 47 career tackles to go with six sacks. Thomas was a fifth-round pick out of North Carolina in 2010, and is entering the final year of his contract.
