This is a discussion on Does Any One Carry a Browning Hi Power ? (MERGED) within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; heres mine, a circa 1993 w/ 300 rnds down the pipe...
I used to carry my BHP several years ago. I now carry an XD45. I prefer the .45 to the 9mm. But when it comes to shooting, I love the BHP. With the exception of my .22, I can shoot a tighter group with the BHP than any of my other pistols. I plan on keeping it til I die.
Great looking pistol FIRE310, what grips are on your BHP and where did you buy them?
-- Richard
"A gentleman will seldom, if ever, need a pistol. However, if he does, he needs it very badly!" -- Sir Winston Churchill
thanks . They are cocobolo grips, I will have to see if the makers name is on them, When I got the gun it came with 3 sets of grips: the original ones, these and a hogue wrap around. They still have a price tag of $50 on the inside of the panel, I'll look this weekend and see if I can find out.
Heres the kicker , you will all be pissed when I tell you what I paid for this gun. I traded $200 worth of stuff for it , came with all original stuff, 3 factory hi-cap mags and the grips... This was my lifetime score
Its in such great shape that I'm having a hard time deciding wether to just keep it in the safe as an "investment" or carry it...
I have bought, sold, traded so many I can not keep count. Everyone should have at least one. I picked up my silver chrome 9 about 15 years ago, and it shall not go anywhere except my son when I am gone. Many have tried to talk me out of it, but, this one stays.
I know, I know, you are smarter than me..just ask you..
Haven't read the entire thread so this may have been covered: Any of you seen the newest version of the adjustable sight BHPs? Very nice, they "buried" the rear sight into the slide and were then able to use a lower front sight. Browning's website has a picture. I've seen exactly one of them in person, and really liked it.
If I could afford to buy another handgun, it would definitely be the Hi-power. One of the best handguns ever built.
"All war is deception" --Sun Tzu
Lovely pistols!
Thanks to all you guys for sharing the pics, and the link to Mr. Camp's site...............
Until about two years ago, I never looked twice at the Hi Power since I, literally had no use for the 9mm caliber. You see I am a die hard 45acp fan and prefer most guns that it can be shot from, specifically the 1911.
I was at a friends house who is the 9mm guy everyone wants to know. It seems that he has just about every gun made today in that caliber. I decided to give it a try.......well the rest is history. I have officially fallen for the Hi Power and now have three of them. I also bought two different CZ75's in 9mm, and as good as they are, to me the Hi Power suits me better. Both CZ's have been sold to those buddies of mine that like the Double Action/Single Action combo guns. I really like the single action and thumb safety and the lines of the gun are similar to my beloved 1911.
Here are my three Hi Powers.
An older one, either Mark 1 or Mark 2 made in 1977.
and two Mark 3's, one blue and one hard chromed. I have changed the sights from the adjustable's to Trijicon Tritium Fixed Night Sights.
The only thing needed for evil to exist is for good men to stand by and do nothing!!!
That Silver chrome w/ night sights and the black controls is current favorite version of the HP.
My Silver Chrome is one that I wish I had not sold a few years back.....

Item: Let's keep lacrosse, the fastest sport on two feet, just that – fast!
Does lacrosse need a faceoff after each goal is scored?
In the original days (1891) of Dr. James Naismith's invention of the game basketball in Springfield, Mass., there was a jump ball after each made basket (score), before the rules evolved and the team that was scored upon inbounded the ball and went on offense.
Would possession, perhaps at midfield, maybe back at the top of its own box, to the team that was just scored upon in lacrosse hurt the sport?
» Related: Syracuse defeated by Duke in championship game
No sour grapes here concerning the faceoff disparity and its direct effect on Duke beating SU Monday for the NCAA championship. There has been a season (2008) in which the 'Cuse was a respectable 58% at the 'X'and won a national title, so hats off to Duke and Brendan Fowler (62% faceoff success rate), the first-team All American at his position, who's mastered the art of sticking the ball to the backside of his stick, and either flipping it to himself or in the direction of a charging teammate to gain, or in the case against SU, maintain ball possession.
It's just that the faceoffs can so dramatically tilt the field; a lot of the competitiveness can be removed if basically one team has the majority of the scoring opportunities.
In addition, there has to be more consistency as to when to begin the "silent" 30 second shot clock if a team appears in the official's eyes to not be making attempts to shoot on cage. The time of possession has fluctuated, sometimes wildly, before "clock on" was declared in all six games we covered in-person this season.
On the women's side, not another year should go by without implementation of a shot clock. A team leading at the end of regulation in possession of the ball has absolutely zero incentive to shoot on net.
It's come into play the last two seasons for SU coach Gary Gait and his team. A year ago against Northwestern in the NCAA championship game loss, and last week in the semifinal defeat to Maryland as the Terrapins basically ran out the final 2:50 of play leading by one.
» Related: Lax final four run caps golden year in SU athletics
"The women's game is an incredible (60 minute) game, fun to watch," Gait said after his squad's season ended. "It shouldn't be 50 minutes, or 55 minutes, of great lacrosse and then keep away for the rest."
"There's certainly been many games this year that have been hard to watch and not very exciting for fans, and for the players to play. It's time for our NCAA rules committee to step up and pull the trigger on doing something (instituting a shot clock) about it."
Asked by Orange Watch if he was optimistic if that would happen for 2014, Gait could only remain hopeful that the rules committee would take the coaches recommendation for a shot clock seriously when it convenes this summer.

Reviews for Sweet and Sour Meat Loaf
Sort By :
"This was a delicious meatloaf and the sauce was fabulous! However, though we tasted the 'sweet' flavor, we couldn't really pick up the 'sour'. Should I use more cider vinegar?"
"Truly enjoyed this recipe. I have a standard recipe for meat loaf that is my claim to fame with my large group of friends and family, but this one is a nice change."
"This is very good! I made it exactly as written and the flavor and texture were great. The sauce really makes it. There is enough sauce to put some on the cut pieces as well as on the top. Will definitely make again."
"I made the recipe as given. It was very good and a delightful change from my normal recipe.I loved the sweet and sour taste. I sure will make it again."
"I used ground turkey instead of ground beef, and added diced carrots and celery. It was amazing."

If by cold molding you mean the resin was never cooked during the time curing than yes cold molded. Since I used west system epoxy all I did was add the epoxy to the pieces I was bonding together and let the epoxy cure.
Easy and effective!
I like this shot
In terms of what it looks like you are doing from the pic--the Cold Molded part is where your deck skin attaches to the rail overlap. In the layered laminate part, if that makes sense.

.- The Anglican Communion Network and the American Anglican Council are deeply saddened that within minutes of the Windsor Report's release, the primate of the Episcopal Church in the U.S. had rejected its core presupposition, that is, the church's traditional teaching on human sexuality.
Bishop and Primate of the Episcopal Church Frank Griswold has expressed "regret" that the appointment of a homosexual bishop has threatened to split the worldwide Anglican Church. But he did not apologize as called for in the Windsor Report. He confirmed that the trend is unstoppable within the Episcopalian Church in the United States.
The report called on the 50 bishops, who attended the episcopal ordination of openly homosexual clergyman Gene Robinson to the New Hampshire Diocese, to apologize. It also called for a moratorium on the consecration of homosexual candidates.
The report, produced by the Lambeth Commission, demanded an explanation from the Anglican Church in the U.S., known as Episcopalian, about "how a person living in a same gender union may be considered eligible to lead the flock of Christ." Scripture must be used to back up the explanation, it said.
"We see a critical need for a Core Covenant and applaud this recommendation by the Commission," said the Anglican Communion Network and the American Anglican Council.
Many Anglican clergy believe the Bible explicitly condemns homosexuality. Several African sections of the church were outraged over the ordination and even broke ties with the U.S. church. Many are still demanding the suspension of the U.S. church.
In fact, the Anglican Communion Network and the American Anglican Council have expressed their concern that that the Windsor Report failed to recommend direct discipline of U.S. church.
The Windsor Report also urges all members of the church to work together, while acknowledging that serious divisions exist.
"We understand and embrace the justifiable concern for the unity of the communion, and we treasure real unity," Anglican Communion Network and the American Anglican Council. "We cannot in good conscience, however, support such unity at the expense of truth."
Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams said the fact that the commission had been unanimous in its findings "counts as a considerable achievement and a sign of hope".
He added: "There is plenty to digest and there should be no rush to judgement.
"We want voices round the communion to be heard and we will be putting in place a careful and wide-ranging process for gathering responses," he said.

Flood insurance delayed GOP leadership starts negotiations with the Democrats
By Norm Singleton on February 27, 2014 in National Blog
Earlier this week I blogged about the GOP's leaderships flood insurance bill reversing certain pro-taxpayer reforms in the flood insurance program. Shortly after my blog was posted, the bill was pulled from the House calendar because the leadership did not have enough votes. Media reports are that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is negotiating with House democrats to address the concerns of members. No word on if Cantor and his democratic counterparts will address the concerns of taxpayers.

Here's a tofu preparation that's nothing fancy, but still so good, and easy enough for a quick weeknight meal. Tofu is combined with bell peppers, carrots, zucchini, and onions in a flavorful barbecue sauce and then baked. Serve with a simple quinoa dish and a big salad. Photos by Evan Atlas. more→
Roasted Vegetables: An Asparagus to Zucchini Guide
Roasting vegetables in a hot oven brings their natural sugars to the surface while maintaining nutrients. For those who aren't keen on steamed or raw veggies in the winter, you may find that roasting might spark some interest. I've found 425 degrees F. to be the ideal temperature for my oven, but 400 degrees F. works as well. If I have anything else in the oven at either of those temperatures, I try to toss in some vegetables to roast at the same time. Once vegetables are roasted, they're good warm or at room temperature. Leftover roasted vegetables can be used to make wraps or to top pizza. more→
Garlic-Roasted Carrots
These garlic roasted carrots are absolutely addictive! Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of carrots, and garlic and onion become sweeter with roasting as well. Recipe contributed by Norene Gilletz, reprinted by permission by Whitecap Publishers from Norene's Healthy Kitchen.* more→
Tofu with Balsamic-Roasted Italian Vegetables
Mild tofu makes a good counterpart to the balsamic-roasted vegetables. This is good served hot, or just warm over greens as a kind of warm main-dish salad. more→
Roasted Summer Vegetable Salad
This is one of my favorite things to make in the late summer – a gorgeous platter of roasted vegetables that's really less work than it may seem at first glance. It's an extravaganza of flavor, and though it's perfect for late summer or early fall, with these particular veggies there's no reason you can't make it year-round. more→
Roasted Root Vegetable Medley
Oven-roasting brings out the natural sweetness of many vegetables, and this is particularly true in the case of root vegetables. You can vary the vegetables suggested here; for example, if you prefer not to use beets, use more of one of the other types of vegetables; and if you don't care for parsnips, try golden potatoes. more→

Chief Illiniwek Dances Again
CHAMPAIGN-- He won't be found on campus, and he isn't available in stores. But last week Chief Illiniwek made a rare appearance in Hoopeston at the high school's homecoming basketball game.
Ivan Dozier is the 38th student to portray the Chief. "This is the whole reason I appear at local communities and things like that. I've been to Sullivan, I've been to Hoopeston now, just going to local communities, that's why I do it." The University does not have any formal ties to the Chief since he last performed on February 21, 2007 after the board of trustees voted to end the 81 year tradition.
But it is very protective of the image. Robin Kaler, Associate Chancellor of Public Affairs for the University, says, "We heard about this event just before it occurred. We did not authorize or endorse it. We're working to reach those involved in this performance to make sure they have a clear understanding of our trademark protection."
Dozier says, "It's one of those things where they can't really stop an appearance from being made, we're acting as an independent organization. I'm free to make appearances in the regalia, at sporting events, and as long as I don't dance I can even appear at University events." Dozier says that regardless of the event, it is his intent to continue to use the Chief as a teaching tool.
"A personal goal of mine is to use the Chief as a positive conduit to teach people about Native American culture, sort of educate them on why we no longer have the Chief."

Hey massagenerd, I've watched and appreciated many of your vids. You've
helped a lot as I go through school up here in Canada. Now, I know our
regulations are very different from the US so I thought to share something
with you for a change. The bringing together of the ends of a muscle belly
is referred to as muscle approximation and origin-insertion refers to a GTO
technique for treating a muscle with a broad tendon. At least that's up
here. Sad you couldn't help me this time. Cheers buddy!

"So glad this recipe was posted. Just got back from Bora Bora where I had some and wanted the recipe. This is perfect, I made only two changes. Instead of just water I used the coconut milk from the fresh coconut and I cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup. So easy (after you get the fresh coconut out of the shell)!"
"Easy to make, great to eat! I did add oregano and a little extra garlic and a little more cheese. Definitely going to make again."
"Awesome! They are moist but I did not get the impression they seemed not done. They were perfection! The only change I made is I went with the suggestion of a tad less water. Great recipe!"
"Fabulous recipe. Quick and easy. It was a little dry."
"Of course! Orange liqueur...that is what has been missing from my mimosas all this time."
"This was a great meal. I did need to leave it in the oven longer even though I thought I had cubed the potatoes small enough. I added extra oregano and also added the suggested basil and feta cheese. My bf even ate the left overs the next day and he is not a left overs fan. Definitely keeping this recipe handy!"

PANAMA CITY BEACH-- You've heard of the Coast Guard, but the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary is the volunteer part of this military branch.
The Auxiliary turns 75 on Monday, but Panama City's Division One celebrated Saturday.
Organizers said they expected more than 100 people to attend the ceremony, including guests like Florida House Representative Jimmy Patronis and Panama City Beach Mayor Gayle Oberst.
Members of the Division One Auxiliary include former active military as well as volunteers who have never served.
JROTC members also played a role in the celebration.
"The veterans have a lot of experience and they still want to serve but a their bodies may be failing them a little bit, so it's great to be able to the younger generation so hopefully they can carry on what we started," Division One Commander Eric De Vuyst said.
There are more than 30,000 volunteers in the Auxiliary nation-wide.

Governor Lincoln Chafee isn't helping efforts to sell off the remaining assets of 38 Studios to help pay off the state's debt.
Some of the remaining game properties from 38 Studios were sold off during an auction this week but Copernicus wasn't one of them.
Bidders made their offers for the remaining game assets and tech left over of the defunct 38 Studios in the final asset auction earlier today.
The auction for 38 Studios' game assets and IPs has been pushed back to December following "greater than expected" interest.
The lawyer charged with selling off 38 Studios' game IPs wants to delay next week's planned auction due to "greater than expected interest."
Is anyone looking to buy an MMORPG? The game assets from 38 Studios will go up for auction in November.
38 Studios continues to make its way through the legal system as a lawsuit against former EDC officials and execs moves forward.

Recent large-scale hacks at Target and Neiman Marcus are a reminder that credit card theft is a growing issue. Hackers find a way to install malware on point-of-sale devices, and then sit back as the credit and debit card numbers stream in. But who are those hackers, and what happens to the numbers next? Here's a breakdown in four easy steps. (But don't try this at home.)
Step 1: Build your criminal network
The basic idea is that people use stolen credit cards to buy stuff. Sure. But if the same person stole the card numbers and bought the stuff, they would be easily caught. Instead, baddies create rings. There are the people who buy and sell card numbers in online markets, sometimes called "carding forums" or "card malls." There are the people who actually make fake cards. There are recruiters who find people to make purchases with the fake cards. And then there are the folks who actually go to stores carrying the counterfeit cards and attempt to make purchases. That's a lot of people!
Step 2: Create your workflow
The logistics must be worked out carefully. The counterfeiters need equipment to print the cards on, which costs about $100. The people who buy and sell card numbers need to understand how the numbers are constructed, to get a good price for the numbers they have to sell, and to find good deals on working numbers – meaning those that don't yet look suspicious to financial institutions. Thousands of lousy card numbers will sell in a block for something like $20, but good numbers, like those stolen from Target recently, could sell for $135 each. The recruiters need contacts in the right places (a lot of cyber fraud originates in Eastern Europe, for example). And finally, the buyers need to feel confident looking a cashier in the eye. They must be trained in what can go wrong at the register and how to deal with it. (The buyers are also frequently the ones who resell the merchandise.)
Step 3: Buy stuff
Once everyone is in place, it's time to shop. Often criminals are using their stolen card numbers to buy items that can easily be flipped on websites such as eBay. Luxury items, popular smartphones or anything else with high resale value is appealing. The bosses running these operations want to get as much money out of the goods as possible so they can pay for the equipment and the "employees" involved in the operation and then pocket the rest.
Step 4: Keep a low profile
The FBI and other law enforcement groups in the U.S. and abroad often work undercover, posing as potential card-number buyers in forums or offering to use numbers to buy goods. In this way, they can begin to get a sense of who is involved, but only at the level of employees who are buying and selling numbers. Sometimes a low-level buyer also gets caught if he uses a fake card in a store and the cashier or bank identifies problems with the transaction. For example, fake cards often carry the stolen number on a magnetic strip, but have a dummy number on the card itself. To try to detect these types of fake cards, some stores require that the cashier enter the last four digits of the number on the card and flag the purchase if those four numbers don't match the last four digits of the number being charged. In these schemes it can be difficult to identify the kingpin or group of leaders, but the criminals farther down the totem pole are at higher risk of being caught.
It doesn't seem as if large-scale credit card hacks are going to stop anytime soon, so if you get that fateful call from your bank, you'll know that your card number is going down this rabbit hole.

Naples Breast Implant Revision reviews
100% of Naples reviewers said Breast Implant Revision was worth it
"Deflated Implant Replaced with Ease..."
I had one deflated breast implant and wanted to get both changed out and enlarged just a little bit. I was very nervous going in the first day. After I was seen, I felt so relieved because all my questions were answered (even before I had a chance to ask them). Then my pre-op appointment was actually pleasant. I felt that the nurse not only put me at ease, but also seemed to truly care. Again,... more
"Great Experience with Dr. Kent Hasen..."
I decided after 5 years of living with breasts that were misshapen and at different heights due to contracture that I was ready for surgery to correct them. I had heard through friends who had used Dr. Hasen for their procedures how happy they were with their results, and made an appointment for a consultation to discuss my correction. The office staff were very attractive and welcoming. ... more
"Very Worth All the Pain - Naples, FL"
Capsular Contraction with previous breast implants. Pain was pretty bad for the first few days and the drains were pretty uncomfortable. Downtime was about a week. I would do it again for the amazing results. :) more
"A Beautiful Job Done Well! - Naples, FL"
My breasts were sagging, implants were too big and I wanted to switch from saline to silicon and reduce them in size. more
"Fantastic Surgeon ...Highly..."
Needed a revision on an old procedure. I was in a panic having to use someone new because the surgeon I previously used is no longer practicing.

Black Friday's 10 Top Tech Deals
No. 7: Dell
Dell has been paddling furiously, but still lagging behind and losing business to Hewlett-Packard and Acer, among others.
The numbers. Dell told analysts last week that it would not build its turnaround on deep price cuts on PCs. But Dell didn't mention computer monitors. Black Friday will see another $100 price barrier shattered when Dell's S2009W 20-inch desktop monitor goes on sale for $99 at Best Buy. That price is 37% below the monitor's regular mark up of $159.
The stock. Dell shares are down 8% from Thursday levels when the company reported disappointing numbers, thinning margins and eroding market share. Dell's lousy performance came amid a surprisingly strong period of PC industry sales giving investors the sense that Dell may be missing out on a recovery.

Podcast: Voices of the Manhattan Project
Wednesday, July 16, 2014
Sixty-nine years ago today, a huge fireball rose slowly above the New Mexican desert. The Trinity test signified that for the first time, physicists working on the Manhattan Project had successfully split the atom and built the first nuclear bomb.
|Photo by Jack Aeby
The Atomic Heritage Foundation's Voices of the Manhattan Project website is an unparalleled trove of historic interviews with the veterans of the project. There's collected historic recordings of everyone from the heads of the project like physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and General Leslie Groves, to more recent interviews with the people that history often overlooks, like the secretaries, technicians and people who just lived nearby.
On this week's podcast, we spoke with the founder and lead interviewer at the foundation, and heard some of the lesser known stories of the Manhattan Project. It's an amazing peek inside America's secret cities of World War II.
|Image: Department of Energy
|Image: Department of Energy
Secret cities to manufacture and assemble the parts for the bomb popped up in Los Alamos, New Mexico (above) Hanford, Washington and Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Often times basic infrastructure lagged behind the scientific infrastructure at these sites.
|Image: Department of Energy
This sign at Oak Ridge emphasized just how serious the emphasis on secrecy was at all of the locations. Most of the people working actually on the atomic bomb had no idea what they were building.
|Image: Department of Energy
Considering how big some of the facilities were, it's amazing that it was kept such a close secret. This is the K-25 facility, where fissile uranium-235 was separated from unusable uranium-238.
|Image: Department of Energy
Most workers only saw a tiny sliver of the project, not nearly enough to put together a complete picture of what was going on. Here women operate calutrons at the Y-12 plant at Oak Ridge, another means to separate uranium.
|Image: Department of Energy
After nearly four years of work, scientists assemble "The Gadget" just days before the final test.

Gilbert police arrested three men Saturday in connection with 15 robberies at convenience stores in Valley.
The men robbed stores in Gilbert, Tempe, Chandler, Mesa, Phoenix and Sun Lakes from September into this month, police said. The robbers would enter convenience stores armed with handguns, demanding cash, alcohol, cigarettes and lottery tickets.
All three suspects have admitted to an involvement in the robberies, Gilbert police said. The suspects are Joshua Liranzo, 20, of Gilbert, and Jonathan C. Diaz and Joseph Armando Herrera, both 19 and from Chandler.
The three have been booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail in Phoenix.
A fourth suspect has been identified and is in custody in another state, police said. Information about that suspect was not being released by police on Monday.
The investigation that led to the arrests was a cooperative effort between the Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Mesa and Phoenix police departments, and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.

Broken Age: Act 2 Delayed Until 2015
Subject: General Tech | December 2, 2014 - 02:45 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: pc gaming, gaming, Tim Schafer, broken age
Tim Schafer and the rest of Double Fine set up a Kickstarter in early 2012 to fund a classic, LucasArts-style adventure game. After being funded over eight-fold more than they intended, they allowed the production to balloon and fit their new budget. This resulted in Act 1 being released in 2014, over a year later than their original deadline, with the second half (Act 2) coming later – expected in late 2014. Within the last couple of days, they announced that the release date has slipped into "early next year" (2015).
This is one of the problems that a Kickstarter can face. There is definitely an instinct to supercharge an over-funded product, which could lead to delays, hiccups, and other problems. On the other hand, the extra money, and the public knowledge regarding how much extra, can raise the expectations of your audience – they might feel cheated if you fail to over-deliver. Beyond this, I have been told that it is very common for budgets to inflate over the course of regular development, something that you cannot really account for in advanced crowd-funding. Again, this may be wrong – it was what I expected but, of course, hoaxes prey on that.
Since the Kickstarter launched, Ron Gilbert left the company. I pout.
Broken Age: Act 2 will be released in early 2015 and conclude the Broken Age story as a free upgrade for everyone who paid for Act 1. This is nice but, while I could see an argument for Act 1 customers needing to purchase Act 2 in the era of Telltale episodic content, it only makes sense for at least Kickstarter backers to get the whole game. I mean, it was announced as a single title; it would be a supremely bad move to promise a full game and deliver a half of one (torn at an awkward point in the narrative no-less) only to ransom the second half a year later.
Thankfully, it will be free, not just for them, but for everyone who owns Act 1.
Remember Google Glass?

Google Glass seems to have gone the way of Wave and Plus, most people have heard of it but no one seems to actively use it. Apart from some news stories about socially inept use of the device in public areas the buzz around Google Glass has died down and for most it is Oculus who have more compelling eye wear. Some time in the coming year there will be a second release of the Google Glass which dumps the Texas Instruments chip for an unspecified ultra low power Intel chip, or at least that is the rumour from The Register and other sites. This launch sounds to be aimed more at enterprise customers, hard to imaging how having your PowerPoint presentation beamed into your customers eyeballs will help your sales but that is the gist of the marketing. This product still seems to be more appropriate for those who work with their hands and could benefit from hands free overlays of schematics or details but who knows, maybe your next job interview will be with someone reading your Facebook page in real time as they conduct your interview.
"GOOGLE REPORTEDLY plans to release a new Intel-powered version of Google Glass in 2015, as interest in its first-generation wearable dies down."

Tagged: input, Cougar, 700K, Cherry MX
With a plastic body and brushed aluminium top the Cougar 700K weighs in at over a kilo and should handle the most ham fisted of users. You can choose your favourite flavour of Cherry MX switches, Red, Blue, Black or Brown and swap keys as you see fit and toggle between NKRO and standard USB 6KRO. The LED functionality is quite impressive, an onboard CORTEX-M0 and the included software allow you to customize your light show, swap key functionality and program macros which you can save into multiple profiles. Modders-Inc found the keyboard to be well designed, the software even more so but be aware that there is a drawback to liking this keyboard, it retails for $150.
"A product's function is not solely reliant on the designer but also shaped by the intended audience. Problem arises when there is a disconnect between intention, marketing and reception; the result being a product that is supposed to perform well at the intended task but comes up short due to false assumptions on what the intended audience needs."

Over at The Register is a round up of a variety of freeware applications that many have found useful. Ad Aware, a program that not many have talked about since the competition picked up has made a reappearance and has stepped up their game somewhat although you will still find Malwarebytes product on this list. Classic Shell has been very popular since Windows went metrosexual as it restores much of the familiar interface that users are accustomed to and is likely to remain popular with the release of Windows 10. Duplicati is a great way to locally back up your files from the Cloud while Eraser can do the opposite for those wanting to make sure that deleted file stays deleted. They also include Notepad++ for those who actually do work on their machines, Process Explorer for those who work on the machines themselves and several others worth checking out if you are unfamiliar with the free software available for PC users.
"No matter if you're reinstalling Windows for the 47th time this fortnight or attempting to rid a new machine of bloatware in favour of something that's actually useful, the question remains: what alternative apps exist that don't involve coughing up for obscene licensing fees?"

Telltale's Game of Thrones Launches December 2nd
Subject: General Tech | November 28, 2014 - 04:27 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: telltale, game of thrones
Oh they're coming. The dragons are on their way. They're gonna be amazing. They'll be here soon. Actually, Telltale's Game of Thrones will be here on December 2nd. The game will be the first of a six-episode season, spanning the TV show's timeline from the end of Season 3 up to some point just before the start of Season 5.
According to the ESRB, they will keep their robes on at all times.
Of course, the most interesting part about this release, to me, is its M rating – specifically, one that makes zero reference to sexuality or sexual content. While the ESRB allows modest sexual content, with Duke Nukem Forever being just about the most extreme, permitted example, you would probably get nowhere near what is allowed on HBO into retail distribution, any console, and probably not even Steam. This would limit the game to a PC release that is distributed on their company website, GoG, and maybe Amazon. The same issue was faced, in some regions, with South Park: The Stick of Truth, where a handful of scenes were censored out of certain versions of the game because they were too graphic (one of which being an alien abduction).
That tangent out of the way, Game of Thrones will launch on December 2nd.
Windows 10 Will Support Many New Codecs Natively
Subject: General Tech | November 27, 2014 - 10:20 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: windows 10, windows, mkv, microsoft, hevc, h.265, flac
Native support for audio and video codecs is helpful for a platform. Software will be able to call upon the operating system's built-in functions, rather than integrating a solution. Of course, some will continue to roll their own, and that's fine, but it is obviously helpful for the foundation to have its own solution (especially in cases where licenses and royalties are required).
Windows 10 is expected to increase its platform support to include FLAC, MKV, and HEVC (h.265), and more may be coming. The tweet from Gabriel Aul suggests that this will be available starting in the next preview build, which will land in early 2015. Hopefully these additions include both encoding and decoding support, possibly allowing audio and video editors to take advantage of these formats.
The next build of Windows 10 Technical Preview is expected for early next year. The full OS is said to launch late that year.
Uplay Black Friday Sale: Buy One, Get One Free
Subject: General Tech | November 27, 2014 - 10:03 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: ubisoft, black friday
Another quick Black Friday post, this one on Ubisoft's Uplay service. At least in Canada, if you purchase one title of a selected list, you will get a choice of one from a second list, for free. While the headliners are Ubisoft's first-party titles, there are a few from EA, Sega, Telltale, Deep Silver, Bethesda, WB Games, Capcom, Square Enix, and Kalypso to round out the "Buy" list (every free bundle game is from Ubisoft, though).
The list of "Buy" (full price) games are:
- Assassin's Creed: Unity (PC, Xbox One, PS4)
- Far Cry 4 (PC, 360, Xbox One, PS3 – Not PS4???)
- Dragon Age: Inquisition (PC)
- Alien Isolation (PC)
- Assassin's Creed: Rogue (360, PS3)
- Tales from the Borderlands (PC)
- Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (PC)
- Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor (PC)
- The Evil Within (PC)
- Dead Rising 3: Apocalypse (PC)
- Wolfenstein: The New Order (PC)
- FIFA Soccer 15 (PC)
- The Sims 4 (PC)
- Football Manager 2015 (PC)
- Rocksmith (2014) (PC, 360, PS3 – Xbox One is listed by not available in the store???)
- Just Dance 2015 (360, Xbox One, PS3, Wii)
- Escape Dead Island (PC)
- Tropico 5 (PC)
- Shape Up (Xbox One)
- Metro: Redux Bundle (PC)
Purchasing one of the above allows you to get one of the following PC titles:
- Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag
- South Park: The Stick of Truth
- Far Cry 3
- Assassin's Creed III: Deluxe Edition
- Watch_Dogs
- Splinter Cell: Blacklist
- Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry
- Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD
- Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
- Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
- Anno 2070
- Might and Magic: Heroes VI (Complete)
- Rayman Legends
Of course, the first thing that pops into my mind is the AMD "Never Settle" promotion. It is interesting that game publishers are also considering a "build your own bundle" initiative, breaking from the "these two games are shrink-wrapped together" model that was previously dominant. Perhaps this will be something that Valve considers for one of their future promotions?
If you were considering paying full price for one of the first list of titles, than purchasing it through the Ubisoft store might get you an extra game for free. Personally, I've been considering Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag has been given a lot of good publicity. The sale started on the American Thanksgiving season and runs until December 15th, so you have a little time to think.
Microsoft and Yahoo Want to Be Apple's Default Search
Subject: General Tech | November 27, 2014 - 09:29 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: apple, safari, google, yahoo, bing, microsoft, mozilla
After Mozilla inked the deal with Yahoo, the eyes turned to Apple and its Safari browser. Currently, the default search engine is Google on both iOS and OSX, although Bing is the primary engine used for other functions, like Siri and Spotlight. Until early 2015, they are tied into a contract with Google for those two browsers, but who will get the new contract?
Apparently Yahoo and Microsoft have both approached the company for the position, and Apple is not ruling any of the three out. Probably the most interesting part is how Yahoo is genuinely taking the search business seriously. The deal with Mozilla is fairly long-term, and with Yahoo approaching Apple as well, it probably was not just charity on Mozilla's part because no-one else wanted to be Firefox's default. Yahoo would probably need some significant monetary backing for an Apple deal, which suggests the same for their deal with Mozilla.
If both Mozilla and Apple leave Google, it will take a significant chunk out of the search engine. Power users, like those who read this site, will likely be unaffected if they care, because of how low the barrier is to change the default search engine. On the other hand, even the most experienced user will often accept default settings until there is a reason to change. The winning party will need to have a good enough product to overcome that initial shock.
But the money will at least give them a chance when the decision comes into effect. That is, unless the barrier to changing default search engines is less than the barrier to changing default web browsers.
Google will always be default on Google Chrome.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory Chooses IBM and NVIDIA for Two Supercomputers, Summit and Sierra
Subject: General Tech, Systems | November 27, 2014 - 08:53 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia, IBM, power9, Volta
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been interested in a successor for their Titan Supercomputer. Sponsored by the US Department of Energy, the new computer will be based on NVIDIA's Volta (GPU) and IBM's POWER9 (CPU) architectures. Its official name will be "Summit", and it will have a little sibling, "Sierra". Sierra, also based on Volta and POWER9, will be installed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Image Credit: NVIDIA
The main feature of these supercomputers is expected to be "NVLink", which is said to allow unified memory between CPU and GPU. This means that, if you have a workload that alternates rapidly between serial and parallel tasks, that you can save the lag in transferring memory between each switch. One example of this would be a series of for-each loops on a large data set with a bit of logic, checks, and conditional branches between. Memory management is like a lag between each chunk of work, especially across two banks of memory attached by a slow bus.
Summit and Sierra are both built by IBM, while Titan, Oak Ridge's previous supercomputer, was developed by Cray. Not much is known about the specifics of Sierra, but Summit will be about 5x-10x faster (peak computational throughput) than its predecessor at less than a fifth of the nodes. Despite the fewer nodes, it will suck down more total power (~10MW, up from Titan's ~9MW).
These two supercomputers are worth $325 million USD (combined). They are expected to go online in 2017. According to Reuters, an additional $100 million USD will go toward research into "extreme" supercomputing.
Well done virtual 7.1 surround from Corsair's H1500
Subject: General Tech | November 27, 2014 - 04:01 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: audio, corsair, H1500, gaming headset, 7.1 headset
Corsair's H1500 Dolby 7.1 headset has a pair of 50mm drivers with a response of 20Hz to 20kHz which uses software to emulate 7.1 and 5.1 Dolby surround as well as simple 2.0 audio. The headset comes with software but not a dedicated soundcard which is why they were able to keep the price to $70. Benchmark Reviews used the headset in Battlefield 4 and found it quite useful in preventing enemies from sneaking up from behind them with a knife though the stiff padding and narrow head band did tire them out after a while. Music and movies also sounded great after a little tweaking of the equalizer and the noise cancellation feature on the microphone was effective at reducing background noise while speaking into the mic. Overall if you want a good set of surround headphones are on a bit of a budget the H1500 are worth adding to your short list of possible purchases.
"Longevity is very important in any industry. It is extremely likely that, when the longevity moniker is affixed to an organization's label, consumers can buy with confidence. Corsair is one of those labels that can has been doing it well since 1994 and in this industry, 20 years is a VERY long time. Whether you are buying a power supply or a gaming mouse, you know that if it wears the Corsair logo, it is a quality device that will withstand the test of time and perform brilliantly."

The only thing better than a new SSD is one you picked up on sale and The SSD Review would like to help you with that. They have put together a list of SSD sales that have already kicked off, from the lovely price of $370 for a 960GB SanDisk Ultra II SSD which might not be the fastest on the market but is a great bargain to a Samsung 840 EVO 1TB at $360 for those who are willing to run the restoration tool to ensure they don't experience a slow down in performance. They also list M.2 drives for those wanting to use the new interface. They have their own Amazon affiliate code which I am sure they would appreciate you using but don't forget that PC Perspective does as well so please consider sharing the proceeds from your purchases ... or not, up to you.
"It's that time of the year again, when online retailers are dropping prices on products left and right.

Torchlight Free on Arc Client

Tagged: ARC, torchlight
Okay so, before we begin, I have read a few comments regarding the Arc Client. I am not sure how much of it is gamers not wanting to install extra clients on their machines (see: Origin, Uplay, and so forth) or whether there is an actual, legitimate complaint against this one. Privacy concerns were mentioned a couple of times, but spoken in a vague and general tone. The service normally deals with free-to-play titles, like Star Trek: Online, Blacklight: Retribution, and APB: Reloaded.
Now on to the announcement: if claimed before November 30th, you can receive Torchlight for free; you may also purchase the sequel for $5. Both of these prices are a $15 reduction (the original is regularly $15 and Torchlight II is normally $20). By now, it is a little old, being released in late 2009, but it has a dedicated following. It was also available for free last year from GoG, which is obviously a better option. I mean, no offense to Arc, but it is really hard to beat free software that is also completely DRM-free.
Windows 10 Could Actually Be Windows 10.0
Subject: General Tech | November 27, 2014 - 04:17 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: microsoft, windows, windows 10, windows 6.4
Windows Vista broke away from the NT 5.x version number that was shared between Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Since then, each major OS release from Microsoft has incremented the minor version by one: Windows 7 was 6.1, Windows 8 was 6.2, and Windows 8.1 was 6.3. The current Windows 10 previews register as Windows 6.4, but screenshots suggest that Microsoft is considering a bump to 10.0 before release.
Seriously, this time?
This leads to two discussions: "compatibility" and "why".
First, because some applications query the Windows version number and adjust their behavior, there is some concern that 10.0 could lead to problems. For instance, if an installer checks that Windows' major version is 6, rather than at least 6, it could simply refuse to load (at least without compatibility mode). In fact, I remember Microsoft speaking about this issue back when Vista launched, saying that spoofing incorrect versions fixed (I believe) most problems. Peter Bright at Ars Technica notes that changes to application architecture, instituted with Windows 7, 8, and 8.1, makes this change more safe than when Vista bumped it to 6.x, for instance. Applications will be given an earlier version number unless they claim higher-level support in its manifest.
And then we get to the "Why". There really isn't any reason to keep the version number in lockstep with the branding. It could be a sign that Microsoft is pushing for branding with this release, which makes sense. Windows 10, from a technical standpoint, is shaping up nicely (although I am still concerned about WinRT-based app sideloading). It would not surprise me if they would go this petty to further cement a good brand image.

Far Cry 4 uses the same engine as the previous game, Dunia Engine 2, albeit updated and modified for the new features GPUs can handle, especially NVIDIA's Gameworks features. This gives you some idea of how your system will handle the game but for a definitive look at performance just check out this review at [H]ard|OCP. For their testing they used the GeForce 344.75 WHQL on their GTX 980 and 970 and the Catalyst 14.11.2 Beta for the R9 290X and 290. On the Ultra preset running at 1440p the performance differences between the AMD and NVIDIA cards were negligible, once they started testing the new features such as the enhanced godrays and AA options there were some significant differences which you should educate yourself about. It is worth noting that even two GTX 980s in SLI at 3600x1920 are not capable of handling 8x MSAA, thankfully SMAA is supported in the game.
"Far Cry 4 is here, and we take an early look at how current video cards stack up in performance, and which quality settings are graphically demanding. We will also look at some image quality comparisons and talk about the state of this game at launch. Will it measure up to Far Cry 3 in terms of graphic fidelity?"

Tagged: nvidia, shield, grid, shield tablet, Psychonauts, red faction: armageddon
Last Tuesday, NVIDIA launched the November SHIELD update with Android 5.0 Lollipop, The Green Box promotion, and a refreshed GRID service. Regarding the last part, which is a game streaming service, they also committed to adding at least one extra title per week. Now, seven days later, they pushed two titles to the service: Psychonauts and Red Faction: Armageddon.
While I have never played Red Faction: Armageddon, I did purchase Psychonauts for the Xbox and, later, the PC. It is a fun, linear narrative about kids in a summer camp that specializes in telekinetic/telepathic education for gifted individuals. If you have a SHIELD device, and you are able to play it on GRID, try it. Like it or not, it's free and does not require an installation.
As will be the case until June 30th, access to the service is free for owners of the SHIELD and SHIELD Tablet. Future titles are expected to be announced on Twitter via the "#GRIDTuesday" hashtag. We will probably have a news post about them, too.

Over at Phoronix you can see a comparison between the new Apple OS X 10.10 and the newest release of Ubuntu 14.10. This offers an interesting comparison in performance as both OSes were tested on the same system, a 2013 Macbook Air with a Haswell i5-4250U with onboard HD 5000, 4GB of DDR3-1600MHz and the Apple branded SSD. For content creators and those with no interest in running Windows it highlights the contrasts you can expect between the two operating systems in data transfer and graphics applications. Right from the start you can see that the contest is somewhat one sided, the first benchmark, PostMark, showed the disk with Ubuntu installed performing three times as fast as with OSX. The results get a little closer in some benchmarks but overall Linux outpaces OSX significantly.
"While I delivered some OS X 10.10 Yosemite preview benchmarks back in August, here's my first tests of the official release of Apple OS X 10.10.1 compared to Ubuntu 14.10 Linux. Tests were done of OS X 10.9.5 and OS X 10.10.1 against Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn when running the benchmarks under both GCC and LLVM Clang compilers."

1 terabyte of storage in 2mm

Tagged: ssd, Intel, 3d nand
Great news flash fans, Intel will be increasing the storage density of SSDs quite significantly over the next few years. They will be using the 3D NAND technology we have just been introduced to to stack flash memory with 32 planar layers for 32GB per cell with MLC and 48GB per cell if TLC flash is used. This increased density could lead to 10TB SSDs by 2017 as well as mobile devices with 1TB of local memory that runs at higher speeds than the current generations as well. As The Register noted this will have to be accompanied by price reductions as at $1.00/GB no one would even dream of a 10TB drive and even at $0.50 it would be far too expensive. Perhaps Ryan's dreams of low cost flash storage are not as far out there as some seem to feel, indeed he may not be aiming low enough for price per GB. You can also get a peek at what Samsung, Hynix and Sandisk will be up to in the same article.
"IMFT, Intel Micron Flash Technologies, a partnership between Intel and Micron, has a 3D MLC NAND technology, which will be used to build 10TB SSDs in two years."

ASUS has tried something new with their Gladius mouse, detachable USB cables and swappable switches. The mouse ships with a 2 meter braided cable and a 1 meter rubber cable which uas a standard microUSB connector to connect to the mouse, theoretically allowing a wide variety of other possible cabling choices. As well the switches for the top and side buttons are also changeable, you can replace them with a variety of Omron D2F and D3FC Series switches if you so desire. This is definitely aimed at games, the mouse supports 2000Hz USB polling rates and the Pixart 3988 optical sensor has a 6400dpi resolution. Read Benchmark Reviews article here to see what they thought of this mouse that should fit most right hands.
"The ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) line of products is no stranger to gaming peripherals, however recently, ASUS has turned to it's newer product line, Strix, to release most of it's gaming oriented products. This made the release of the ASUS ROG Gladius mouse confusing at first, but after realizing that this is ASUS' premium mouse option it only made sense to put it in ASUS' most prominent line of products.

Last week, the official Unreal Engine Twitter account tweeted about an online game jam being held, which starts this Friday (November 21st) at midnight and ends just 72 hours later. In that time, participants will attempt to create a full video game. All art, music, code, and so forth must be created in that short window. Existing engines, libraries, and utilties are allowed though, and they are actively encouraged with several license of Unreal Engine 4, Unity Pro, Clickteam Fusion, and GameMaker: Studio being provided to contestants. There are no prizes, except that the top ten, highest-voted entries will be featured in a PewDiePie YouTube video. He is the host of this game jam.
The theme of this game jam is, "Fun to play and fun to watch". Funny is a bonus.
Oh why not? I have an idea for a quick-ish Unreal Engine 4-based game. While expectations should be kept low, I will enter the jam and I intend to stream the whole development process live on Twitch. Whether or not I am successful, I hope that it will be fun and entertaining for everyone involved. Drop in! Talk in the chat room! Say your opinion! Give suggestions! Embrace exclamation points!
I am not, by any metric, a professional game developer, but it should be a good weekend!
Barring technical issues, the stream will start at around 11:55 PM on Thursday, November 20th, 2014. I will probably work for a few hours that night outlining the concepts and creating assets. I hope you will attend! (Details will be available before the event both here and on Twitter).

Dear Doctor,
I am a 19 year old boy. My lips are narrow, asymmetrical, and puffy. It does not suit my face at all. Recently the corners of my mouth have started turning downwards giving me a sad appearance. The asymmetry is really noticeable in photos. It looks okay when I smile but when my face is relaxed, it looks like the pictures below. The doctors on Realself suggested fillers but my lips are too big already. Will lip reduction make it less noticeable?
