THIS delightful village has over the years had a variety of names.
It was probably in existence by Anglo-Saxon times and was listed in the Domesday Book as called Renistone.
When postcards were first being sent by post it was often called Rimmington with two ms.
For a village, Rimington has a very impressive and upmarket dress shop to which clients travel miles.
Next door is the Black Bull pub, once a coaching inn but now a fine example of a themed pub.
Close to the bar is a museum tracing the history of 20th century transport including transatlantic liners, steam trains and aeroplanes.
Rimington earns its living these days mostly from farming and is surrounded by some fascinating hamlets, including Stopper Lane, Howgill, Middop Newby and Martin Top.
In Elizabethan times Squire Pudsay, who lived at Bolton Hall in Bolton-by-Bowland, had a silver mine close to Stopper Lane and there was also lead mining nearby.
In the 16th century all silver coins had to be declared and a toll paid to the monarch.
Pudsay decided not to declare his mine but when the authorities came to arrest him he ran away to London.
There he begged mercy from the Queen and some say she pardoned him because Pudsay was her grandson.
Others are more cynical and point out that Pudsay gave the mine to the Queen!
Nobody is quite sure what happened to the silver mine but lead mining was an important industry in the Stopper Lane area until well into the 19th century.
Why is Rimington world famous? This is because a man called Francis Duckworth was born on Christmas Day in the village and was a talented musician from Victorian times to his death in the 1940s.
He loved conducting brass bands and wrote many hymn tunes which he named after local villages, such as Downham.
His tune Rimington is sung all over the north with the words "Jesus shall reign where'er the sun".
Rimington does not have a parish church but it is very close to the equally attractive settlement of Gisburn.
Francis Duckworth's grave is in St Mary's churchyard there.
A few bars of his most famous tune are inscribed on his gravestone.
Duckworth did not have an easy life. When he was five he moved with his family to Stopper Lane, where they ran the village shop.
This was next door to a Wesleyan Chapel, which is now a private residence.
The family were all devout Christians, especially his uncle Joe, whose favourite phrase was "Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun," from which in 1904 he penned the words to his most famous hymn tune.
Francis's mother died when he was only 12 and to begin with he worked for his brother, who was a printer.
In 1899 he opened his own grocer's shop in Colne.
He was by that time well known as a musician and one of the best organists in the district.
The moment the Rimington tune was first heard it proved irresistible and soon spread all over the world.
In the Whitsuntide processions at Colne a massed choir of 20,000 voices raised their voices in praise of Rimington.
A plaque in the village records both the man and his tune and this village willingly gives its name to the Christian world.
Visitors should not miss seeing the chapel at Martin Top, which dates to the 18th century and is in a splendid state of repair.
There is a fine sundial on the wall which warns us all that time flies away very quickly and should not be wasted.
The walk from Rimington to Downham passes Downham Mill, now a private residence, but which still has a damp area which was once the mill pond.
Nearby are some small limestone hills called Drumlins.
These tell us that this area was once covered in a shallow sea which was full of molluscs.
Millions of years ago global warming increased the temperature and the seas evaporated.
The molluscs were all compressed together to make up what we now know as limestone.
There are plenty of excellent walks and strolls around Rimington, most routes offering spectacular views of Pendle Hill.
Another network of paths lead down to Gisburn or on to Downham and Twiston, which are also beautiful and historically interesting settlements.

Increasing numbers of women waste precious child-rearing years in de facto relationships and end up partnerless as their fertility declines.
The gadget could be a godsend in a country where a growing number of young people find child-rearing too burdensome.
Although it is true that much of the burden of child-rearing seems to fall on schools.
She particularly likes Steve Biddulph's books on child-rearing because he makes it clear that it's OK to make mistakes.
Some demanded 24-hour free child care, others suggested communal child-rearing or greater community responsibility for children.

Jail Lust Lockdown
The twink had no idea what was going on. He was taken to a small cell but this wasn't just a regular lockdown. The room looked medical with white walls and shit. The boy realized he just got his hands restrained, and naked of his clothes as well. When he felt fingers working their way into his manhole, he understood what it was all about. A bigger, older, stronger convict was having his way with the boy's butt and nothing could be done about it…He had to take every bit of it!
It takes lots of effort to survive in penitentiaries when you are a sweet-looking boy. Dozens of older men, horse-hung, strong, and sex-starved, are after your asshole on a daily basis. And it's impossible to resist! Watch as handsome boys fall prey to older twink-fucking maniacs. Shocking scenes of hardcore, uncensored, sweaty and painful prison sex in HD! Tons of raw exciting material you won't find anywhere else!

Colombo: Sri Lankas most prolific run-scorer Aravinda de Silva, fondly known as Mad Max, found himself out of favour with the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka (BCCSL) when the Board announced the list of players contracted for the next 12 months.BCCSL sources revealed that de Silva's name was not among the list of 13 submitted to them by the national selection committee.Aravinda said that he had no knowledge of the contract and that he had not got word of the same from the BCCSL. "The previous Board had discussions with me. But I couldn't follow it up with the Interim Board as I was out of the country when the contract was signed," de Silva said. De Silva was on a trip to Bangladesh to represent an Asian XI and then was away on a private trip. The selectors decided to take him off the contract as de Silva is not an automatic choice for the One-dayers. Aravinda may still be picked to represent the national squad and in such an instance he will be paid on a match-by-match basis.The new contracts provide the top players with an annual fee of $ 40,000 with provision to go over $ 50,000 by way of bonuses and tour fees. The fringe players receive something like $ 25,000 annually. The 13 contracted players: Sanath Jayasuriya, Muthiah Muralitharan, Marvan Atapattu, Chaminda Vaas, Mahela Jayawardene, Russel Arnold, Romesh Kaluwitharana, Kumar Sangakkara, Nuwan Zoysa, Upul Chandana, Kumar Dharmasena, Tillekeratne Dilshan and Dilhara Fernando.

Johns Hopkins Student Defends Self with Samurai Sword
Labels: Self Defense
A Nurse with a Gun
Labels: Self Defense
Let me see if I got this right; the 4 students were in Baltimore? I suspect Baltimore is one of those "Gun Free" Zones? The Burgler (with a "lengthy arrest record" of 29 incidents) was hiding "crouched" under a table and "lunged" at the student who went to investigate? The student swung the sword and laserated the burgler in the upper chest and cut off his hand?
Sounds like self-defense to me; hope he doesn't get his life ruined for defending himself...
Wow one swat or two? Still don't underestimate the old ways.
this is around the corner from my work
"across street" from a major hospital
I guess this is a new push pin on the baltimore murder map http://tinyurl.com/2udukb
poor guy
this ain't texas...probably charge him
gotta live w/ the memories
He could'a used this umbrella: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO8G5zsQohg&feature=player_embedded
And it's interesting that the perp' was newly released from incarceration.
Justice has finally been served. Good riddance.
Hope the student is completely exonerated.
the thing that kills me in all of this is the perp's sister is saying the kid should be charged, and that the perp didn't deserve to die.
sure, it sucks the guy was too dumb to learn from his mistakes, but stupidity should hurt...and this will be less of a burden on us taxpayers.
someone recently compared the nastier parts of East Baltimore to a third world country, and i'm starting to agree. this place is turning into NYC in the 70s.
"Blood curdling screams".
Catastrophic failure of the victim selection process.
The States Attorney is deciding whether to file charges against the STUDENT? Excuse me, but WTF? I reserve my right to slice and dice a 29-time repeat offender, or a first offender for that matter, in defense of my person and or domicile. If you don't want a close encounter with Sammy the Sword (or, in my case, Sammy the Sig Sauer) stay where you belong and where you have a right to be!
Justice, biblical style. Gotta love it.
- Brad
Interesting bit of hypocrisy - JH Police responded (out of their Jurisdiction), yet the talking mouths say it's not their matter.
Prayers go out tot he student for exoneration and a return to a normal life.
I'm reminded of the fact that if this student were in the UK, he couldn't even legally own his Katana now.
Hell, I've got a real Scottish broadsword from ColdSteel.com, but if I hear someone breaking in downstairs, I'm reaching for my Mossy 500 in its bedside rack.
In the name of Dungeon Masters around the world, we hereby award this student one hundred experience points and two rolls on Treasure Chart 'O'.
Nice work Grasshopper!
29 previous incidents?
What the hell was he doing free on the street?

ViewSonic ViewPad 7e Review
0. phoneArena posted on 02 Dec 2011, 04:43
Known for being a prominent monitor manufacturer, we've already seen ViewSonic dabbling in the tablet market for the last year now with devices like the Android powered ViewPad 7 and ViewPad 10. Coming around for a second at bat with a 7" offering, they're hoping to reel in some people with their affordably priced ViewSonic ViewPad 7e model...

As usually as it happens the bandwagon of crap tagging takes off when someone just comes with a point of view so high in the sky that everything else looks uncivilized. I just got some Viewpads 7e for my wife (which happens to be a database programmer for a major software company) and kids, and they liked a lot. If one wants to hold a 7" wide format tablet in your hand from side to side, then should go to a bionic surgeon and have implanted a larger hand, that way you can hold two. You cannot expect to have in your hand a Mercedes Benz coupe or a MiniCooper if what you have to spend after the mortgage crisis of the last two years is about $150 or less (not $200 or 250) with various extras, much less was the cost during BlackFriday/CyberMonday days at various online and brick-mortar places. If one think the Viewpad is total crap, then that means one has plenty of $400 to $900 to get a flagship tablet and drop it in favor of every new pad that comes up. BTW I have myself a cheap ($70) MID epad/apad which allowed me to play around with the firmware, change and reroot to explore the ins and outs of Android and its Linux kernel. Hybrid-resistive screens are taking over back the market: they allow you to inexpensively use tablets to write like a person, a grown up civilized person, instead of reliving again and again past times of finger painting or even using those crappy rubber boot styli. Forget the keyboard, use a stylus and relearn the joy and craft of handwriting (get a good hw recognizer, there are quite a few good ones out there). That's what tablets and slates were for, to write on, to draw, to create! Ciao.

GOTEMBA, Shizuoka Pref. (Kyodo) Yasuharu Imano ended a four-year title drought with victory at the Mitsui Sumitomo Visa Taiheiyo Masters on Sunday.
Imano closed with a 1-over 73 for a 13-under 275 total, two strokes ahead of American Han Lee and Kenichi Kuboya at Taiheiyo Club's Gotemba Course.
The 36-year-old Imano, who made two birdies, a bogey and a double bogey, earned ¥30 million from the ¥150 million purse for his seventh career win. Lee carded a final-round 69 and Kuboya a 71.
"It has been a long four years. I never thought I would be able to win being in such poor physical condition," said Imano. "It was a tough back nine as I started to feel pain in my elbow and neck."
"I didn't want to get into a playoff. Given that I wasn't feeling well, a playoff would have been difficult," he said.

PenFed May Hike 5- and 7-Year CD Rate in December
Update 12/01/13: It's official. PenFed is now offering 3% CDs (see post).
There is no official word yet, but there are reports from PenFed customer service reps that PenFed may be increasing its 5-year and 7-year CD yields in December to 3.00% APY. Currently, PenFed is offering 2.02% APY on its CDs with terms from 3 years to 7 years. A reader first emailed me this news today (Thanks!). He said he was in the process of opening a 3-year CD over the phone, and the phone rep told him that effective December 1st, the 5-year and 7-year CD yields will be 3.00%. The phone rep didn't know what would happen to the rates of the shorter term CDs. I called PenFed, and the phone rep pretty much confirmed this news. However, she did warn that this news is not official. There's no guarantee that the yield will be 3.00%.
It makes sense that PenFed would offer higher rates for its 5-year and 7-year CDs. Not only would you expect higher rates on longer-term CDs, but these longer-term CDs have a larger early withdrawal penalty than the shorter-term CDs.
Even though one would expect a higher rate on the 5-year and 7-year CDs, I didn't expect 3%. That is way above the competition. The best internet bank 5-year CD rate is only 2.05% APY at CIT Bank and at GE Capital Retail Bank. The 3% doesn't seem that high based on the brokered deposit market. At Fidelity you can get a 3.30% rate on non-callable 10-year CDs and a 2.70% rate on non-callable 7-year CDs.
If you already have opened a PenFed CD, you won't have too much to lose if you decide to close the CD and open a new CD. You'll just lose all interest from the initial date of the CD term. There's no loss of principal. For a 3-year CD, the 180-day interest penalty doesn't take effect until 180 days into the term. Before 180 days, the penalty is all of the interest earned. Please refer to my last week's PenFed CD post for more details.
For more details about PenFed CDs and about how to join PenFed, please refer to my November 1st PenFed CD post.

The Role of Neck Dissection Following Definitive Chemoradiation
The Role of Neck Dissection Following Definitive Chemoradiation
ABSTRACT: The presence of regional nodal metastases represents a significant adverse prognostic factor for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Early-stage head and neck cancers, localized to the primary site without regional lymph node metastases have excellent cure rates with either surgery or radiation therapy. The presence of regional metastases results in cure rates that are approximately half of those obtainable in early-stage disease. Therefore, due to the significant adverse impact of neck metastases on prognosis, the treatment of the neck remains a vital part of the decision-making process in determining therapy for head and neck cancer.
Over the past decade, the role of chemoradiotherapy in the definitive management of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma has been extensively studied. Several different sequences of treatment modalities have been explored, including neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by definitive radiotherapy, alternating chemotherapy with radiotherapy, and concurrent chemoradiation. Concurrent chemoradiation has emerged as a preferred treatment option and has been shown to yield tumor response rates that are higher than the other combinations, while simultaneously achieving the goal of organ preservation.
Several phase III randomized trials and meta-analyses have shown that platinum-based concomitant chemotherapy and radiotherapy are superior to conventional radiotherapy alone in improving clinical response rates at the primary site, local and regional control, relapse-free survival, and overall survival in locally advanced disease.[1-5] However, despite the improved benefit of concurrent chemoradiation, there is no consensus in the literature on the optimal management of neck metastases in a concurrentapproach. In addition, because of the paucity of data, a number of controversies persist regarding optimal treatment of the neck in concurrent chemoradiation, and this has reopened the debate on the role of a planned neck dissection in these patients to control regional node metastases. The main question that needs to be addressed is: Should a neck dissection be a planned component in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy strategy?
Management Considerations
The initial pretreatment stage of the neck is important in deciding the appropriate management of the neck after definitive chemoradiation. Studies from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in the 1970s showed a relationship betweenthe size of nodal burden and response to radiation.[6] For example, occult neck metastases or a single node less than 3 cm in diameter can generally be sterilized with chemoradiation therapy. Therefore, patients with low-volume (N1) neck disease have very high rates of control in the neck[7] and do not require neck dissection unless there is clinical evidence of persistent palpable disease after chemoradiation. The risk of neck failure climbs steadily with increasing neck node stage and tumor burden. Due to this risk,patients with stage N2 or N3 neck initially treated nonsurgically, have historically undergone planned neck dissection after chemoradiotherapy.
The site of the primary tumor may be equally important in therapeutic decision-making: Metastatic nodal disease from tumors of certain sites such as the nasopharynx and the tonsil are known to be exquisitely sensitive to radiation therapy. A planned neck dissection following complete response to chemoradiation may not be particularly beneficial in these patients with tumors arising from the Waldeyer's ring.
The decision for neck dissection following chemoradiation is clear when patients have residual neck disease.[ 8] However, controversy surrounds neck dissection in patients with a complete clinical response to chemoradiation. Recently, some authors have questioned whether planned neck dissection after chemoradiotherapy is necessary for patients with a complete clinical response, because a large percentage of these patients have negative neck dissection specimens on histologic examination.[9,10]
This controversy has led to institutional differences in the management of the neck after chemoradiation. Proponents of neck dissection argue that the procedure reduces the regional failure rate and may improve the cause-specific survival rate. In addition, salvage surgery in the event of recurrence is unlikely to succeed. Proponents of observation argue that the probability of an isolated recurrence in the neck is low, and many patients needlessly undergo neck dissection to benefit a few. However, no randomized trials have addressed the question specifically.
Role of Neck Dissection
The Postirradiated Neck
The purpose of the planned neck dissection in patients with N2/3 neck disease undergoing radiation or chemoradiation is to maximize the probability of achieving regional control. Parson et al reported improved neck control rates in patients with N2 and N3 disease treated with radiotherapy followed by neck dissectionvs radiotherapy alone.[11] In a large series of patients with advanced neck disease treated with radical radiotherapy alone at the Institut Curie, Dubray et al reported overall 3-year actuarial neck failure rates of 33% for N2 (n = 103) and 45% for N3 (n = 699).[12] However, in the same series, the incidence of isolated neck failure was only 7%. One can conclude from these reports that planned neck dissection contributes to neck control in unselected N2 and N3 patients treated with radiation or chemoradiation, but its exact role remains undefined.[12]
The Postchemoradiated Neck
The main controversy in the literature is whether patients could be selected for neck dissection following chemoradiation based on their response to treatment. In other words, can neck dissection be omitted in the subset of patients with N2/3 neck disease who achieve a complete response in the neck after concurrent chemoradiation?
• Residual Disease—Several studies have shown that patients with a complete response to chemoradiation clinically and radiographically may have microscopic residual disease in the neck. McHamm et al recently reviewed 109 patients with N2/3 disease treated with concurrent chemoradiation followed by neck dissection and found that 25% of the patients achieving a complete response in the neck had residual pathologic evidence of disease in the neck dissection specimen.[ 13] In addition, no clinical parameters could reliably predict for a pathologically positive neck or for those patients destined to have a recurrence in the neck, suggesting a role for neck dissection in all N2/3 patients.[13]
Similarly, Stenson et al reviewed 69 patients with advanced-stage head and neck cancer who underwent a neck dissection within 5 to 17 weeks after concurrent chemoradiotherapy.[ 14] Of these 69 patients, 24 (35%) had microscopic residual disease, and this was not correlated with clinical or radiographic response. Only one patient had recurrent disease in the neck after neck dissection, emphasizingthe importance of neck dissection after chemoradiation to remove residual viable tumor.
Wanebo et al reported a series of 43 patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy for advancedstage head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. A planned neck dissection was performed 3 to 4 weeks after the completion of chemoradiotherapy; among patients with clinically N1-3 nodes prior to therapy, 9 (31%) of 29 had residual node involvement at neck dissection, and none of these patients had failure in the neck. The authors concluded that planned neck dissection is an essential component of aggressive chemoradiotherapy protocols to ensure and optimize tumor control in the neck.[15]
• Recurrence and Survival—The presence of pathologically positive nodal disease in neck dissection specimens after radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy has been found to correlate with neck recurrence and survival probability. Lavertu et al evaluated 53 patients with N2/3 necks who had planned neck dissections after radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy.[15] Of 53 patients with N2/3 disease, 35 underwent neck dissections, 18 of whom had a clinical complete response in the neck, with 17 achieving less than a complete response. Of the 18 patients with a complete response, 4 (22%) had viable tumor in the neck compared with 8 of 17 (47%) with less than a complete response. Disease recurred in 1 of the 35 necks after neck dissection; no recurrences occurred among the 18 patients with a complete response who underwent neck dissection, compared with 3 recurrences among 12 patients with a complete response but no neck dissection.
Disease-specific survival was not significantly affected by clinical response in the neck. However, among the N2/3 patients, pathologically positive neck disease was associated with a worse survival (6 of 12) compared with pathologically negative patients (4 of 23; P = .03). These data also support the use of planned neck dissection for management of clinicalneck disease. Furthermore, they demonstrated a lower rate of nodal recurrence following neck dissection, and the inability to salvage patients who had not undergone neck dissection.
Those who advocate limiting neck dissection only to patients with residual disease after initial chemoradiation believe that planned neck dissection in patients with a complete response results in many unnecessary neck dissections. In addition, several studies have reported that patients who have a complete response to radiation or chemoradiation, but do not undergo neck dissection, show a low rate of recurrent neck disease (11% to 25%).[7,16]
Armstrong et al reported a series of 54 node-positive patients treated with various regimens of induction chemotherapy followed by radiation alone or combined with a neck dissection. They reported 24 of 54 patients (44%) had a complete responseto induction chemotherapy, and 17 subsequently received radiation therapy alone. The neck remained controlled after irradiation in 16 (94%) of the 17 patients who did not undergo a neck dissection. Due to the high neck control rate in these patients, the authors recommended that patients with a complete response after chemoradiation need not undergo planned neck dissection.[7]
Koch et al prospectively studied 22 patients with advanced head and neck cancer of the oropharynx, oral cavity, and hypopharynx entered into a concurrent chemotherapy/radiotherapy protocol.[17] All patients with > N2 disease were scheduled for planned neck dissections. Although 11 patients were entered with N2/3 disease, only six neck dissections were documented, and two of these were performed for salvage or palliation. The 2-year overall survival was estimated at 64%, and the disease-specific survival at 71%. Neck recurrence was shown in 5 (23%) of 22. Neck dissection was not documented in 7 of the 11 N2/3 patients, all of whom had no evidence of disease at 13- to 36-month follow-up. These authorsbelieve that neck dissection after organ preservation therapy is of uncertain value in this subgroup of patients.[17] A summary of the literature for chemoradiation is presented in Table 1.[16-20]
• Neck Failure/Pathologic Node Discrepancy—Interestingly, the rate of neck failure in these studies is lower than the incidence of pathologic nodes among the neck dissection specimens of patients who had a complete response to radiation therapy and underwent a neck dissection, suggesting to some that many of the pathologically positive necks did not contain viable cancer cells, or alternatively, that continued cell kill occurs for several weeks or months after chemoradiotherapy.
A recent study tried to distinguish the neck specimens with viable cancer cells from those without by studying Ki-67, a marker for dividing cancer cells. In a series of 17 neck dissection specimens, only 3 of 11 with histology positive for carcinoma demonstrated the presence of Ki-67, whereas many samples had extensive apoptosis, suggesting tumor demise.[21] These findings led to speculation that the difficulty in interpreting positive but nonviable tumor cells in lymph nodes in the neck may be responsible for the discrepancy in the rates of neck recurrence among various reports. It is also important to consider the timing of neck dissection and the interval at which the neck dissection is, therefore, examined for the presence of "residua" disease, because it appears that cell death continues to occur for many weeks following completion of treatment.
• Complications—Neck dissection after organ-preservation therapy is also not without complications and morbidity. Complication rates from neck dissections after concurrent chemoradiotherapy have been reported to range from 26% to 35% and have most often reflected impaired wound healing. However, Newman et al reported that postoperative complication rates after induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy were similar to a control group for both major and minor complications.[22]
Similarly, Lavertu et al found that surgery following radiation or concurrent chemoradiation can be performed with an acceptable rate of major complications (7% after neck dissection for radiation only and 0% after neck dissection for chemoradiation).[ 18] Although the major complication rate is relatively low, the question remains as to whether this surgical morbidity is justified for all N2/3 patients, or is it reasonable to reserve surgery for those who recur despite an initial complete response in the neck?

They're on top of a mountain.
Not literally, but climbers at Vertical Ventures might as well be.
This climbing gym is the only indoor rock climbing facility anywhere near the Tampa Bay area, and it gets Spidermen — plus women and kids — from all over the state.
Its more than 6,000 square feet of climbing is worth the drive.
"We have a lot of regulars and members that use this as an alternative to the standard gym and workout," co-owner Christian Tartaglia said. "We have people who come in and they've either gone kayaking or been mountain biking or even skydivers who come in and just want to try the climbing."
The original climbing gym that houses Vertical Ventures opened in 1996, but 10 years later, it was falling apart. In 2006, Tartaglia and his two other partners renovated the place, making the climbing routes more smooth to climb and putting in a better-padded floor, even installing air conditioning.
There is no age limit put on climbing at Ventures, but there are also harnesses for little kids, and for the top ropes — the ones that go to the ceiling and nearly horizontal — climbers must be 15 or older.
Another reason Ventures is popular is the adjustable routes, that is, the ledges and grips climbers use. Those let the gym be creative to address climbers' challenges. Ventures also runs the Tampa Bouldering Series, which uses a points system to track climbers' top 5 routes posted. Each color varies in difficulty, and with each attempt it takes to complete the route, more points are deducted.
However, Ventures has one true pull. In an area with little vertical distance, this gym lets anyone get off the ground.
"It's neat that we can bring this to people in a flat state so they can experience mountain climbing," Tartaglia said. "We know we have a quality place to go rock climbing."

1911 Disassembly
I have owned my 1911 for a little while now, but have never done anything more than field stripping to clean after a trip to the range. I read a sticky by canebrake on how to clean a 1911. But I have no idea how to detail strip a 1911 for a deep clean.
I don't want to mess up my gun. Besides a few idiot marks, it's in good shape and I'd like to keep it that way.
Any suggestions on videos or instructionals on how to disassemble for a deep clean?
I'm a gunsmith and there's a really good app if u have android its called " gun dissassembly " it has many different guns including the colt 1911 u can virtually dissassemble it it will help u out its helped me out a lot
Sent from my XT901 using Firearms Talk mobile app
YouTube is your friend. There are more videos on YouTube than you can count on this subject.
Here ya go. Look over on the right sidebar. The lower of the two is step by step w/ pictures. You will need a set of GOOD screwdrivers and some pin punches for a full "down to the bare frame" disassembly.
In case it is not mentioned elsewhere, your flathead screwdrivers should have hollow ground tips.
1911 Disassembly
Thanks for the info. Any recommendations on the actual screwdriver(s) and punches I will need?
Rule of thumb is, steel to steel, plastic to plastic. Meaning, you need a small steel hammer and steel punches for steel pins, but a plastic or rubber mallet for plastic pins. To avoid the idiot marks, if you absolutely need a tool, use a brass punch, it is softer than steel.
Browning designed the 1911 to be able to be completely stripped using only parts of the gun. If there is not a full length guide rod or other unneeded parts.
A hollow ground screwdriver is a better start than a mag floor plate though.
You can also use a empty shell case flatten the open end and bam screwdriver.

AMP Americas Strikes Deal With National Dairy Cooperatives To Haul Milk With Compressed Natural Gas
CHICAGO, Oct. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing to pave the way in transitioning trucking fleets from diesel to compressed natural gas (CNG), AMP Americas announced today that it has signed a deal with Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) and Select Milk Producers, both national dairy cooperatives, to convert a portion of their diesel needs to CNG by working with haulers to convert their fleets to CNG-powered trucks.
Under the agreement, AMP-Trillium, the joint venture between AMP Americas and Trillium CNG, will build seven public fueling stations between August 2013 and early 2014 and lease new CNG trucks that will travel more than 13.2 million miles per year, servicing routes throughout Texas. The stations, which will be built in Waco, Amarillo, Harrold, Sweetwater, Weatherford, Kerrville and Midland, will initially fuel forty new Class-8 Kenworth and Peterbilt CNG sleeper trucks, a number that will double over the course of the agreement.
"It is estimated that the culmination of this deal will displace carbon emissions equal to removing 2,400 cars per year from the road and will save the supply chain $1.50 to $2.00 in fuel savings on every gallon sold. It lets us build a network of public, fast-fill CNG stations across all of the major Texas corridors that can be used by any fleet running trucks across the state," according to Nathan Laurell, CEO of AMP Americas.
"This new network of CNG stations will allow AMP-Trillium to meet the rapidly increasing demand for CNG cars and trucks. The low cost, low-carbon emissions, and reliability of CNG has made it the ideal alternative to gasoline and diesel fuels, " said Mary Boettcher, President of Trillium CNG™
The deal structured by AMP Americas features beneficial contract terms for fleets operated by Western Dairy Transport and Reynolds Transport, establishing the two as "first-movers" by operating two of the largest 12-l Liter commercial CNG fleets in the US.
CNG is domestic, abundant and about 40% less expensive than diesel. It reduces dependence on foreign oil and has significant environmental benefits. Because it is the cleanest burning fossil fuel, CNG cars and trucks require less vehicle maintenance and enjoy a longer engine life. Given these benefits, the long-term savings far outweigh the incremental costs associated with converting to CNG.
AMP Americas, LLC, a Chicago-based energy company focused on displacing liquid fuels with CNG, builds and owns CNG fueling stations for long-haul truck fleets and finances leases for CNG trucks. AMP operates the largest US renewable natural-gas plant that produces fuel from cow manure. AMP Americas is a member of the Department of Energy's National Clean Fleets Partnership tasked to reduce the nation's dependency on imported oil. For more information, call (312) 300-6700 or visit www.ampamericas.com.
Trillium CNG, a business unit of Integrys Energy Group (NYSE:TEG), is a leading provider of CNG to fleets, and also offers complete facility design, construction, operation and maintenance services. Our focus is on fueling heavy-duty fleets that require high-performance solutions. For more information, visit www.TrilliumCNG.com.
Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. (DFA) is a national dairy marketing cooperative that serves and is owned by more than 13,000 members on more than 8,000 farms in 48 states. DFA also is one of the country's most diversified manufacturers of dairy products, food components and ingredients, and is a leader in formulating and packaging shelf-stable dairy products. For more information, call 1-888-DFA-MILK (332-6455) or visit www.dfamilk.com.

Statues, public art, and historical sites have been activated as Ingress Portals. XM Anomalies are free player events that bring together hundreds of Resistance and Enlightened Agents of all Levels for an intense burst of walking, running, and biking gameplay. After the Anomaly, Agents rendezvous at the Cross-Faction Meetup to celebrate and meet new recruits. It's time to move. New to Anomalies? We were all Level 1 once. Here are protips to help you get started: 1. When planning to go to an Anomaly, reach out to your local RES or ENL lead. Find your local Faction lead (http://goo.gl/ylNaLx). 2. On the day of the Anomaly, identify Agents wearing green or blue armbands to help you level up. 3. Focus efforts on building rather than destroying by deploying Resonators and establishing Links and Fields.

Hackers at Defcon took just minutes to break into and modify a wide array of voting machines. Officials from California provided some. Other machines were bought on Ebay, and were manufactured by major U.S. voting machine companies such as Diebold Nixorf, Sequoia Voting Systems, and Winvote. `This isn't a great surprise, since many of those companies are owned by political extremists who targeted this vulnerability, ages ago. The chief safeguard has always been a system that involved paper ballots or receipts that are scanned in... but that can also be hand audited, in randomly chosen precincts. Wherever random hand recounts are possible, cheating is deterred.
Auditable paper ballot/receipt systems are the norm in blue states. Not in red states, where the GOP Secretary of State can pretty much order up any election result she desires. Also it is blue states and only blue states that have... more »

+Zuleyka Zevallos has done this excellent write up about the march for science
The March for Science organisers have communicated a set of ideas about diversity that are damaging to minority groups in science. The organisers made many mistakes along the way that fed into gender inequality, racism and exclusion of disabled people and other minorities.
Many supporters of the march do not support addressing issues of inclusion and accessibility. They say that diversity makes science political - as if by including minorities this is a political act (conversely meaning that White people's attendance is not political). The supporters also say that diversity causes division. They think that science is already equal and having a focus on diversity will distract from the goals of the march. ... more »

The 'Suddenly Susan' alumna will romance Michael J. Fox's on-screen son on the NBC sitcom.
Brooke Shields has landed a multiple-episode arc on "The Michael J. Fox Show". The super model will appear in three episodes of the rookie comedy beginning in 2014. It will mark her return to NBC after starring on "Suddenly Susan" and "Lipstick Jungle" for the network.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, on the freshman sitcom, "Shields will play Deborah, a smart and beautiful single mother with a sweet and nerdy personality who doesn't quite have it all together. She'll meet Ian Henry (Conor Romero), Mike Henry's (Michael J. Fox) 19-year-old son, at a ballroom dance class and the chemistry between the two is unmistakable."
Shields recently recurred in season 7 of "Army Wives", which has been canceled by Lifetime. The 48-year-old actress has also guest starred on ABC's new comedy "Super Fun Night" headlined by Rebel Wilson.
