I'll be getting an AR15 when I move to Arizona...any reason I should get an HK91 first?

Several reasons, Skunk.
1. It costs more. Get it out of the way while you have the money.
2. HK factory 20-round magazines run cheaper than GI 30 round AR mags.
3. It's considerably more powerful than the AR-15.
4. It lacks a gas system and is very reliable.
5. It's cooler.
6. EVERYbody has AR-15s. Being different than the pack is always cool.
7. You have a love for HK weapons.
8. It's one of the original Evil Black Rifles.
9. I hear they're very accurate, in addition to being reliable.
10. There plenty of custom shops and gunsmiths out there if anything goes wrong.
11. If you buy an original, it'll be a preban. That means a bayonet, a collapsing stock if you want it, etc.
12. Nothing says tactical like an HK.
March 26, 2003, 01:05 AM
Just get one when you are ready.
OK! OK! Here are some good reasons to get one now.
It's got Tacticality oozing out of it's roller lockers. It's black. It's made by H&K. It will go with your USP's and P7. It's black. Tamara has one. It will fit in perfectly with your "theme" collection. It's tactically logistical. Mags are runnin' $3-5 bucks a piece.
Who cares if it will cost you around 2K. It's only money.
As you said, " Money is no substitute for tacticality!" :D
March 26, 2003, 02:56 AM
By even asking, you've exposed your desire. You'll continue to wonder until you finally buy one. Why torture yourself?
Oh, and I can't think of much better than what Nightcrawler said.
March 26, 2003, 04:34 AM
AR-15's were never advertised by guys lurking in mud or jumping off cliffs on the back page of Soldier of Fiction. :D
March 26, 2003, 05:50 AM
Unless you absolutlely, just gotta have it, I'd spend that chunk of money on some other things first. It will go farther. I've had a couple of HK91's, and while they have their good points, they also have some annoying ones too. Mine were always accurate and reliable. You cant beat the QD scope mount that holds its zero. Although the ARMS mount is better than the HK for usefulness and comfort. It is a versitile rifle. The down sides are, its heavy and the balance isnt all that great. The controls are "just not quite right". You cant reach the safety in certain positions and the same goes for charging the gun, the charging handle can be a chore. All the accessories, except maybe for the mags, are expensive. The bipod would be better if it was adjustable, it was to high for me. They are well made, nice rifles, but once you play with them, the little things can really annoy you. They are not worth the money they command, but thats not really the guns fault here, just inflated prices. Personally, if I was in the market, I'd go with one of the Armalite AR10 type rifles. Its got the versitility of the HK, more user friendly, and with the right model, highly accurate. For what you will spend for the HK alone, you can almost get both AR's.

That sucker is more tactical than your wildest mall-ninja day-dreams. :neener:

And learning how to reassemble the bolt and get it back into place will teach you an incredible amount of patience, self-control and how to deal with frustration!
It's psychologically tactical and will certainly enhance your maturity.
Or you could get a nice little bolt-action .223 or .243 and learn all about calling coyotes. For a lot less money...
:D, Art
March 26, 2003, 11:51 AM
If you need convincing then you don't deserve one. :neener:
Nightcrawler did a great job with his list.
Remember that the HK does not have an annoying "Sproing" The cycling is smooth and fast.
All HK91's are Preban, so they are only going up in price.
When you get a sear, you can drop it in your HK91, 93, and MP5 with minor changes. :evil:
It's an HK, 'nuff said.
March 26, 2003, 12:47 PM
My son had one which I reloaded for and it was one of the most accurate rifles I have seen with open sights......
March 26, 2003, 02:15 PM
And H&K friggin' INVENTED "tactical", Skunk! Do it! HK91! You know you want to....
March 26, 2003, 02:45 PM
Have owned an HK91 set up as a psg1 when I went to HK in 94 for counter-sniper training.
They are accurate, reliable, heavy hitters. Sights are great as is but I had a tritium replacemet front sight on mine. Bipod, brass deflector, clawmount and scope, psg1 trigger, psg1 grip and stock.
Qualified as a counter-sniper with HK in 94 with that rifle.
They are heavy, no doubt about that but then anything throwing 308 reliably probably will be.
Have had ar10's in 308. Not junk but certanily no HK91 either.
Don't own any of them now, I'm playing with the big boys toys.
m-14 Battle rifles rule. They may not be tacticool like the black rifles but hey, they bang hard and I was trained on them by the best instructors in the world [USMC DI's ].
Nothing semi-auto says "I can touch you at 800 yds" like an m-14
I have two post bans and three prebans in different guises. If you really want the ultimate [which I am having built on a preban when I get the rifle in from Biloxi, Ms.] get a preban m1a and have this http://www.troyind.com/ company build you a SOPMOD.
Shorter than an m4, 308, folding stock for battle rifle or assault guise.
Best of both worlds, I'll have mine in 6 weeks.
March 26, 2003, 03:06 PM
And learning how to reassemble the bolt and get it back into place will teach you an incredible amount of patience, self-control and how to deal with frustration!
Unless you happen to have an Actual German Drill SergeantTM around to teach you the right way. ;)
March 26, 2003, 03:37 PM
dood! that sopmod M14 is wicked cool.
Send a picture of it to Diane Feinstein when you get it
March 26, 2003, 07:29 PM
Not until you buy a bolt action .22LR (preferably with a wooden stock)! :D Once you've learned to shoot a rifle, then maybe you should consider a black plastic tactical wonder. And best of all, you can probably buy the .22 now, so by the time you've moved, you'll be able to hit something with whatever you end up choosing...
March 26, 2003, 08:11 PM
Hi Guys,
What would a like new without box 91 go for?
El Tejon
March 26, 2003, 08:20 PM
Brasshopper, this is fellow tacgolfer, talksonphonealot, yes, there is a reason: to get it out of your system.
Get the gig; get the gun you want. Get it out of your system while you're young.
I was going to say walk the earf first and see what education brings, but I knew you would ignore me. Rightly so.:D
March 26, 2003, 08:23 PM
no. they are just not worth buying
March 26, 2003, 10:15 PM
OT reply, but I'm just like you. I dream about all the pistol-gripped, hi-capactiy, bullet spewing, evil black assault rifles, even though I won't be getting out of Cali anytime soon. Arizona's great, though.
Oleg Volk
March 27, 2003, 11:24 AM
I like lhe looks of them and even the sights which everyone else dislikes. Mags are cheap.
Control layout is questionable and the balance is a bit too far forward even for my long arms. It is a lot of a rifle.
I keep hoping to find one cheap but that's for amusement, not for serious use. The price of the rifle and accessories is so high that other choices make more sense to me...YMMV. Have you fired an HK91?
March 27, 2003, 11:35 AM

You just need to eat more, bro. ;)

Tam, I guess it sez sumpn about my tinkerability that I managed the disassembly/clean/reassembly with neither the Sergeant nor any literature.
If it ain't welded, it'll come apart. If it comes apart in some certain order, it'll go back together in reverse order. Anything that's spring-loaded requires three hands or prehensile toes. :)
The 91 was a fun critter. I bought it on account of the guy threw in a thousand rounds at eight cents per each. After shooting the ammo, I found somebody wanted the 91 more than I did...
Profit is nice.

Tam, I guess it sez sumpn about my tinkerability that I managed the disassembly/clean/reassembly with neither the Sergeant nor any literature.
It durn well does! :eek: I got as far as the bolt, decided I was too lazy to tinker with it or look something up online, and figured "What the heck, lendringser will be over tomorrow at lunch..." ;)
March 27, 2003, 03:10 PM
Oleg, I fired an HK91 and didn't like it, but it was off a bench. I'll hate ANYTHING shooting from a bench.
I'm going to call my buddy up and see if I can take him to lunch and shoot his 91.
March 27, 2003, 03:22 PM
The M14 SOPMOD is cool. But if you really want a short barreled rifle (and want to go through the hassle to get one) you could get a 13" FAL from DSA for a lot less than buying a preban M1A and then sending it in to get customized.
Check out DS Arms (http://www.dsarms.com) anyway. They have a very wide selection these days.
March 27, 2003, 03:53 PM
They are way cool. Accurate. Lots of accessories and toys available.
Only gripes:
- awful trigger. can be rectified with a drop-in MSG90 trigger group
- heavy. if I was going to have a battle rifle to tote around, it'd be an FAL
- beaucoup money
March 27, 2003, 03:59 PM
I mean, HK91's are cool. But this is...beyond cool. And it's cheaper, too.
- Gabe
March 27, 2003, 04:00 PM
They`re too expensive. Id rather have a M1A, (Better sights, and overall accuracy). And I HATE reloading cases ejected from a 91, they`re striped!
March 27, 2003, 04:06 PM
READ Boston's gun bible Before you buy.
If you have a considerable amount of money I'd get a pre-ban belgian FAL or a pre-ban M1A that has been 'tacticalled' out.
March 27, 2003, 04:24 PM
Nothing personal to Mssr. T. Party, but I wouldn't exactly call his Gun Bible an unbiased piece of work. He's got his favorites (like we all do) and it shows.
March 27, 2003, 04:46 PM
From what I can tell, the base HK91 (G3) is on average MORE accurate than a basic M1A, but the M1A has better long range sights.
Something to think about price wise:
The HK91 is all quality mil. issue parts. A stock M14 clone that is built of all GI parts is going to be $1400 or better. If you want all GI AND better than 2 MOA barrel, now the rifle is pushing $2K (obviously, you may do better used, but it's tough, and there is no guarantee that the gun IS all GI). All the 91 NEEDS is an $80 trigger job.
Other HK91 options include the preban Greek and Portugese imports which run $400 or so less than a comparable German gun. I've had two Greek ones, both will hold MOA with decent (not even match) ammo.
March 27, 2003, 04:47 PM
My shooting buddy had an HK-91 and it was a great rifle, even though it was a bit on the heavy side.It was extremely accurate, and had the "cool" factor. The downside was that the mags up here in Canada were expensive, and the extractor was really hard on the case rims(If you reload, it will makr you cry.I gave him 50 virgin .308 Fed. Match case for it and the extractor chewed up the rims!! I cried!!).
He wishes he didn't sell it, but the Canadian Government was putting them on the prohited list, and he didn't want to risk loosing it without compensation, so he sold it.
March 27, 2003, 04:57 PM
The G-3 wouldn't been around if the Germans could have bought the rights to the G-1 (FN FAL)!
March 27, 2003, 05:11 PM
Yeah! And all the other countries that purchased or built the G3 for their troops just wanted to be like the beloved Germans!
The G3 is one of the only .308 military rifles you will STILL see in the news throughout the world. The design is tough and has a proven record in the Artic, Jungle and Desert.
March 27, 2003, 05:16 PM
...and one still sees CETMES and FALS in Africa and elsewhere, too. In the US, one still sees the occasional M14 in service, especially with the navy. (Yawn.)
And one still sees bolt-action iron-sighted rifles in use in some third-world countries. And?
Marko Kloos
March 27, 2003, 05:22 PM
Yeah, the Germans wanted the FAL (G1), but the G3 wasn't a bad consolation prize.
I want a HK91 just because I toted one in the service, but it's not a magic sword...no rifle is perfect.
The G3 is very rugged, more so than the FAL. It's easily scoped via claw mount. The iron sights are very good, once you learn how to use them properly. Recoil is pretty mild for a full-power battle rifle. Ergonomics are decent, field-stripping is simple (even the bolt group). The G3 is probably the most reliable battle rifle ever issued. Accuracy is on par with the FAL, and the G3 has no gas system that needs to be adjusted. Magazines are very cheap, especially since the Germans switched to G36s and dumped all their surplus G3 mags on the market.
On the downside, G3/HK91s are heavy. They lack a bolt hold-open feature, which is a major annoyance, especially since cocking a G3 requires a lot more force than cocking a FAL or M14. (When you pull back the charging handle, you force the roller lock out of engagement with the receiver, which takes more effort than simply retracting a rotating head bolt.) The hole in the G3 charging handle is intended for clipping the carry sling into it to assist in working the bolt manually, if that tells you something. We used to use that feature a lot when shooting blanks, since they have a tendency to cycle unreliably.
Magazine changes are easy with the AK-style paddle release on a G3, but somewhat awkward and unergonomic on a HK91, which only has the button release on the right side of the magazine well.
All in all, it's a fine, sturdy and powerful rifle. I wouldn't drop $2000 on one, though...that kind of money can get you an AR *and* a DSA FAL. Their price has been blown out of proportion by the ban and the HK logo on the magwell, but they're not head and shoulders above the rest in any way.
March 27, 2003, 05:40 PM
Handy, you said something like a match ready M1A would run about 2000, right? Well, around here, a 91 in excellent/new condition is 2000+. I would bet you a dollar to a doughnut that M1A will make that 91 look silly in the accuracy dept! Why would you buy a FORIEGN rifle, with relatively crappy sights, from stamped steel, that throws unreloadable brass, for the same money that you can have a match ready M1A? :confused: (Just trying to get your dander up!) :D
March 27, 2003, 05:50 PM
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all the .308 battle rifles (M14, Fal, G3) about 9.5 lbs? The site I could find just now listed the FAL at 4.45 Kilos, the BM-59 at 4.4 and the G3 at 4.5.
Is there a rifle of this type that isn't "heavy"?
March 27, 2003, 05:58 PM
Nope, not to the wuss's around today. Now to a farm boy, it probably aint to heavy.:D
I find it entertaing to watch people who only learned to shoot on the 223 try to shoot the "older" rifles. All they bitch about is how much they kick and how heavy they are.
March 27, 2003, 06:06 PM
Dear Fat,
Well, my preban Greek rifle cost $1200 (and I bought it by selling the previous $860 postban one for $1200) , so all of this seems a little ridiculous.
Mainly, I was pointing out that the price difference is not the $1000 most people throw around. I've been reading quite a bit lately of the problems encountered with new M1A's. How much does your $1200 rifle cost after you've replaced all the cast parts?
On to your other points, the average excellent + condition HK91 is $2200, a price that reflects both value and the fact that there are no more coming in, and haven't been for 14 years. But I listed several cheaper alternatives.
I prefer strong, dimensionally perfect sheetmetal receiver stampings to imperfectly machined castings. But you can always spend $600 on a forged Enterprise M14 receiver. I don't see the point on this one. This is not a question of how best to spend $2000, its a question of what you're getting should you choose the HK.
You can reload G3 brass. Someone is lying to you if they say you can't. The lines on the brass are burn marks, not scoring. A port buffer helps, too, but isn't a requirement.
The sights aren't crappy, they just aren't target sights, which is what the M14 has. The G3 sight system can be used very precisely without much trouble, and is a FASTER sight system, which actually kind of matters on the battlefield, or hunting.
Like I said, this is a question of what you want and what you are getting. The Glock is proof enough that people don't actually care about the production value, just the end product. The HK91 is a great product. If you don't like the price, why aren't you shooting a Savage .308 bolt gun? That's value.
(Breeze carries cloud of dander away.)
March 27, 2003, 06:13 PM
If you don't like the price, why aren't you shooting a Savage .308 bolt gun?
Dont pick on the lowly Savage now!:)
My cheapo Savage Scout w/Leupold Scout scope, will out shoot any of the M1A's, HK's, FAL's, etc that I've ever had.
March 27, 2003, 06:25 PM
Not picking on the Savage!
The Savage bolt is truly an excellent way to spend little money and get an accurate, stong and reliable rifle. The Scout thing is particularly cool.
March 27, 2003, 07:35 PM
Handy, just to correct you- Those arent burn marks on the brass, they`re permenent scores, made by the 91`s fluted chamber. I know, I HAD a 91 (and sold it, when they were $850 :cuss: ) Even after tumbling, they`re there. Just had to tell ya.
March 27, 2003, 09:16 PM
Remember two (possible) upcoming events. First, the end of the AW ban next year. Second, the rumor that Hk is going to build a plant in the US to get around import restrictions.
If that happens, may be able to get an actual HK for less money than a current pre-ban.
March 27, 2003, 09:46 PM
1. It's black
2. Pre-ban telescoping stock.
3. It's black
4. Hi-Cap magazines are available.
5. It's black
6. Pistol grip, an evil feature since 1994.
7. It's black
8. .308, so it's got plenty of whoop-***.
9. It's black
10. Brass flies really far and fast without the port buffer.
11. It's black
12. Fluted chamber makes striations on the brass, so you're reloading can suffer, assuming the rims don't get torn off before then... (One reason I sold mine, those weren't just burn marks, Handy)
13. It's black
14. Recoil was sharper than a M14 or FAL (Other reason I sold mine)
15. It's black, and made by HK, a Skunkabilly wet-dream, as it were!
March 27, 2003, 10:04 PM
I bet he picks up an AR-15 with the Horsey on it before he buys a HK91..:)
March 27, 2003, 11:10 PM
Time to eat your Tactical Wheaties..
Wanna shoot a big rifle? Don't worry Skunk. Just come down to sunny Florida and I'll get you on the Redleg "beef up " program! :D
I will admit they are nice rifles. The price I couldn't handle. Now those DSA rifles are another matter....
I'd just get a CETME and call it even. :D
Good Shooting
March 28, 2003, 04:28 AM

This isnt exactly correct. Mostly its soot on the case. Some cases will have a scratch or two, but most were gone when tumbled, at least with the stuff I was shooting and my guns. The only brass I wasnt able to reload out of a HK gun was IMI "black tip" carbine ammo in 9mm. It actually started fireforming the flutes in the brass out of my MP5. If you have a port buffer on the 91, there really is no damage to the brass, other than an ocasional scratch, and the brass is easily reloaded.
March 28, 2003, 08:23 AM
everything aside
no bolt hold open on the last shot:mad:
besides that,it's a fine rifle:)
March 28, 2003, 09:20 AM

If you have a port buffer on the 91, there really is no damage to the brass, other than an ocasional scratch, and the brass is easily reloaded.
I'll have to fire up the trusty digicam, because after I tumbled my HK-91 brass, (Lapua stuff no less) those flutes were most assuredly permanent on the surface of the brass, verified both visibly, with thumbnail, and with vernier micrometer. They came out of the tumbler as shiny brass with shiny flutes. These weren't sooper-dooper +P loads, they're the same 168gr stuff I run in my M14NM, BM-59, and 700PSS. I even resized some and reloaded them, so I could iron them out in the 700PSS. Didn't help much. So if I get another HK-91 or CETME, it's gonna be fed stuff that I don't really care to reload again, or I'll break into my stash of TZZ or Venezuelan .308 stuff. :(
March 28, 2003, 10:28 AM
I had an HK91 before the ban in 94. I paid 650 for it. It was not worth the 650 I paid for it. The gun is very front heavy, the ergonomics are not very good. The mag catch is the hardest to reach on any semi-auto I have ever held. The cocking handle is not easy to reach especially prone or with gloves. The safety cannot be reached easily for most people without monkey fingers. The rear sight is the worst ever designed for a military rifle because the drum is tilted away from the shooter in a position that allows light to reflect off of the drum and into the shooters eyes. The firearm dings brass. There is no hold open. Parts and accessories are way over priced. You can buy a whole firearm for the price of some accessories. I also had a friend that was issued a PSG-1 and had a lot of experience shooting it. I was not impressed for that kind of money. If you want an HK, get a clone as they are cheap right now, more in line with what they should cost. Were it not for the number of registered sears and trigger packs in full auto, they would be a lot less than their current prices. I am not an HK hater, just not a fan of their roller lock series of firearms. I sometimes think Hollywood owns HK stock or something the way they portray their firearms. Oh and their customer service sucks. They treat their civilian customers like crap.
March 28, 2003, 10:38 AM
Thanx for backin` me up Gewehr, I thought maybe my memory was `aslippin!
March 28, 2003, 04:44 PM
Skunk, the HK91 is not a good gun, ergonomically, for people with small hands. My buddy has a 91. I've fired it on several occasions. I cannot reach the mag release, nor the safety, without shifting my grip. Depending on how your hands measure up, you may be in the same situation.
IMHO a gun that does not fit the shooter is like clothes that don't fit the person -- next to useless, unless in a closet somewhere. Suggest you pass on the HK91 and spend the money on something else.
March 28, 2003, 05:08 PM
I'm not saying you dont have brass with scratches, I'm just saying it isnt something that happens with all HK91's, or all of any of the other HK's for that matter. It may well be that your chamber is rougher than mine were. I've never had any trouble reloading the brass from my 91, or standard pressure 9mm from my MP5. I've shot all types of ammo from all of my guns, and the only ones I encountered "damage" to the brass with was the IMI 9mm stuff. Even the 9mm is more soot than scratches. They all are very dirty shooters and are a pain to clean.
March 28, 2003, 05:09 PM
If you are not sure, try a CETME. It'll at least give you a good idea what to expect in operation and maybe recoil characteristics (off hand since you've tried bench)[My CETME seems to recoil (felt) a little less than my 91, but the HK does have an A3 stock on it.]. Plus, at $300, much more affordable.
March 28, 2003, 06:47 PM
I like to think I know what scratches are. I get them in my eyeglass lenses, on my watch crystal, in the stock of a gun I just spent too long refinishing, on my legs from my wife's toenails in bed, and on brass that gets dropped and scraped on a concrete floor.
What I'm talking about are the striations that conform to the chamber flutes of HK delayed-blowback rifles, and CETME's. They are physically a couple thousandth's of an inch above the rest of the case body, adding an interesting raised texture to the case around it's circumference. It happened on Lapua, Cavim, Winchester, and Lake City brass. When I get stateside, I'll scan in the examples I saved.

Roasted Vegetables with Brown Rice Recipe
By Lindsay Hunt | February 28, 2011
I discovered Lundberg Farms' Wehani rice about a year ago. While shopping, I mistakenly grabbed a bag of this red rice, instead of short-grain brown rice. I cooked it anyway, and the rich, buttery scent that wafted out of the pot has kept me buying packages of this distinctive rice.
Never a rice lover, I did not expect to develop a taste for any kind, red, white, or brown. To my surprise, I was overcome with cravings for a bowl of this rice, buttered and topped with sea salt. I assumed it was an ancient rice, revered over the centuries for its unusual aroma and taste. A quick check on Wikipedia revealed that in fact, it's a recent creation of the Lundberg family, who named it after the brothers: Wendell, Eldon, Homer, Albert, and Harlan. So no monks hand-harvesting the grains one by one, but does it matter?
I love this nutty, buttery, and filling rice, which makes white rice taste boring. I love it's unusual hue, and it pairs perfectly with roasted vegetables that have carmelized on their edges. This recipe would work just as well with any other kind of whole-grain, such as quinoa, but I suggest branching out for a bag of Lundberg Wehani Rice. If you can't find it at your local market, purchase the rice online.

It's hard to compare the plans side by side because of the diversity populations they serve and lack of data on some of the health insurance companies. Much of the information about the different health plans and companies is spread out over several different agencies, reports and websites.
Western Health Advantage gears up for California Exchange
The whole issue of medical underwriting, and why an applicant is declined, can frequently be a mystery to both the individual and the broker. It was refreshing to hear a discussion from the insurer of what system they were using for the determination of issuing a health insurance policy.
Western Health Advantage announces new individual plans in northern California region
Western Health Advantage (WHA), a regional HMO serving the greater Sacramento region, introduced 3 new individual health insurance plans for their service area in northern California. Up until this time, WHA has focused solely on the small and large group market. Their individual plans will reflect their existing network of hospitals and doctors.

PT Barnum when he said his father Al Gore senior was a champion of civil rights?
The name Sheets was given to Byrd by none other than Tip O'Neill.
The Democrats/Socialists loved the old Klansman so much "He rose to become one of the Senate's most powerful members, serving as secretary of the Senate Democratic Caucus from 1967 to 1971 and—after defeating his longtime colleague, Ted Kennedy—as Senate Majority Whip from 1971 to 1977. Byrd led the Democratic caucus as Senate Majority Leader from 1977 to 1981 and 1987 to 1989, and as Senate Minority Leader from 1981 to 1987. From 1989 to 2010 he served as the President pro tempore of the United States Senate when the Democratic Party had a majority, and as President pro tempore emeritus during periods of Republican majority beginning in 2001.[7] As President pro tempore, he was third in the line of presidential succession, behind the Vice President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. He also served as the Chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Appropriations from 1989 to 1995, 2001 to 2003, and 2007 to 2009, giving him extraordinary influence over federal spending."
So, ignoramus hypocrites, tell once more how the Socialist party is a champion of civil rights and how evil the Republicans are. Your sexual predator emeritus Bill Clinton eulogized Sheets at Sheets' funeral as a champion of the Democrat/Socialists Party. If Sheets was the champion of your party as your hero Bill Clinton says he is, how can you with a straight face say the Socialist party is the party of civil rights?
You guys, when it comes to facts, truly are ignoramuses believing anything your nut case leaders tell you and you are hypocrites for repeating these falsehoods. So my characterization of you as ignoramus hypocrites is right on the money.
Sentiment: Hold

Roy Oswalt is a free agent now that the Philadelphia Phillies officially declined his $16 million option for the 2012 season. He should warrant some intriguing offers; after all, Oswalt still is a quality middle of the rotation starter with plenty of experience.
Oswalt has previously discussed retirement, but his agent has put those comments to rest, saying now that Oswalt is feeling like he was back in his younger days and the nagging back injury that limited his playing time in 2011 is gone.
A three-year deal for around $30 million seems reasonable for a pitcher like Oswalt.
Here are five teams that could use Oswalt's services in 2012 and beyond.

Ukraine vows to punish rebels who downed plane
NOVOHANNIVKA, Ukraine -- Ukraine's new president declared today a day of mourning and vowed to punish those responsible after pro-Russia separatists shot down a Ukrainian military transport plane, killing all 49 crew and troops aboard.
It was a bitter setback for the Ukrainian forces -- the deadliest single incident yet in their escalating battle against an armed insurgency that the government, backed by the U.S., insists is supported by Russia.
The downing of the plane drew condemnation and concern from the White House and European leaders. Analysts said it could bring a renewed emphasis on increasing sanctions against Russia.
"(This) will refocus attention on the fact that Russia does not seem to be doing very much to moderate the insurgency (or) the cross-border resupply of separatists," said Timothy Ash, an analyst at Standard Bank PLC. "I would expect the focus to return to sanctions next week."
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko spoke firmly to glum-faced security officials at a televised emergency meeting Saturday, scolding the head of the country's SBU security service for "omissions" in measures to protect military aircraft.
Poroshenko called for "a detailed analysis of the reasons" for the lapse and hinted that personnel changes were imminent. His office said he vowed to punish "those responsible for the tragedy in Luhansk."
In a conversation with French President Francois Hollande, Poroshenko expressed hope that the European Union would decide on further sanctions against Russia if what he called the illegal border crossings and the supply of weapons did not cease.
Nine crew and 40 troops were aboard the plane when it went down early Saturday, Ukrainian officials said.

Riverwest Fest rocks to the end of the world
If it was the end of the world as we know it, the bands and spectators at Riverwest Fest appeared to feel fine.
Contrary to the Mayan calendar, the world did in fact not come to an end on Friday (as of this story's 10 p.m. deadline anyway), so plans for the third annual local music bash proceeded as planned. The two-day event's grown to be one of the largest showcases of music in the city; by the time the fest wraps up Saturday, about 66 bands should have played nine different venues. »Read Full Article(1)

My Traveller Reviews
See what my clients have to say
Hi Anja! WE LOVED IT! Throughout the trip, every step of the way we were talking about how amazing you are and how much we appreciated your guidance in planning the whole trip. We loved each and every place we stayed... they were all so different, but also perfect for what we needed at that time.... I think if we had to chose, Dunia was our favourite... we saw more animals can you can imagine and the staff at Dunia are amazing....Everything was really perfect. Again, we cannot thank you enough.... you are amazing at what you do, and will certainly be recommending you to all our family and friends who will want to go to Africa now!Kyle Church - October 2015
Back to work after our fantastic trip to SA! I will share some photos with you on Facebook, but I can tell you that all was perfect! Our stay in Hamilton's was, simply, unique, and we would have stayed more days if those had been possible. Thank you again for your help.Ignacio Vila - August 2015
We wanted to thank you for such a wonderful trip experience. First of all. we were very impressed, with the organization and the information provided by you prior to the trip; answering every question we had and keeping in touch during the trip, even when we encountered a few minor problems. Also, all the flight connections worked perfectly and we were thrilled you were able to work with our budget. Anja, thanks again for everything. We will remember this trip for the rest of our lives.Ron Zwerdling - August 2015
Anja, I wanted to thank you very much for making this dream safari a reality. I posted a version of this note on Safari Bookings so people can benefit from the wonderful service you and Go2Africa provide. We are just back from an incredible 10-days in South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. We wanted to thank you and Go2Africa for making this wonderful and memorable experiece. The trip was a year in planning and from the first contact, which was a general enquiry into a trip to Kruger, to its conclusion, it was a delight to work on the details with you. After looking at the itineraries on offer, we decided to create our own. You listened and gave us realistic options. We appreciated having access to your knowledge, expertise and connections to the various sites we were interested in. Any and all communications and questions had a reply from you within 24 hours. We were able to book our lodge early enough to avail of the 2014 rates. The payment system made was efficient and trouble-free. All the choices -- from flights, accommodations and activities -- were superb with the group loathe to leave each stop as they could not believe it could get better.Margarita Padila - July 2015
Go2Africa, (you!) were absolutely great. You were able to work with us on our unique itinerary, in a short amount of time, and when we had problems you were able to help us far better than we would have been able to help ourselves.
It's hard to imagine a better honeymoon than what we were able to get, regardless of budget, the freedom and adventure of driving ourselves mixed with the luxury of Kapama, with the amazing game viewing we had in Elephant Plains was beyond anything we could have hoped for and a lot of that had to do with your efforts.Samuel Lovely - July 2015

'Woody Sez' delivers Guthrie's populist message with gusto
Bruce Springsteen — one of many musicians, from Bob Dylan to Kacey Musgraves, who are unimaginable as we know them without Woody Guthrie — once described Guthrie's music as "the core of what it means to be an American," adding that "such songs don't get written anymore, because no one knows how to write them."
That's reason enough to applaud the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's decision to give us a two-month run of "Woody Sez," in which a quartet of superb musicians offers us a glimpse of the man and his music. It opened Sunday night in the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article

Big Power, Small Size
Though the mindset that a small PC is a slow PC is fading, there are still quite a few readers out there that believe the size of your components will indicate how well they perform. That couldn't be further from the case, and this week we decided to build a small, but not tiny, PC to showcase that small can be beautiful too!
Below you will find a complete list of parts and components used in our build - but let me say right off the bat, to help alleviate as much vitriol in the comments as possible, there are quite a few ways you could build this system to either get a lower price, or higher performance, or quieter design, etc. Our selections were based on a balance of both with a nod towards expansion in a few cases.
Take a look:
|MicroATX Gaming Build
|Intel Core i7-4790K - $334
Corsair Hydro Series H80i - $87
|Gigabyte Z97MX-Gaming 5 - $127
|G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB DDR3-2133 - $88
|Graphics Card
|EVGA GeForce GTX 970 FTW - $399
|Samsung 250GB 850 EVO - $139
Western Digital 2TB Green - $79
|Corsair Carbide Series Air 240 - $89
|Power Supply
|Seasonic Platinum 860 watt PSU - $174
|Windows 8.1 x64 - $92
|Total Price
|$1602 - Amazon Full Cart
The starting point for this system is the Intel Core i7-4790K, the top-end Haswell processor for the Z97 chipset. In fact, the Core i7-4790K is a Devil's Canyon part, created by Intel to appease the enthusiast looking for an overclockable and high clocked quad-core part. This CPU will only lag behind the likes of the Haswell-E LGA2011 processors, but at just $340 or so, is significantly less expensive. Cooling the 4790K is Corsair's Hydro Series H80i double-thickness self contained water cooler.
For the motherboard I selected the Gigabyte Z97MX-Gaming 5, a MicroATX motherboard that combines performance and features in a mATX form factor, perfect for our build. This board includes support for SLI and CrossFire, has audio OP-AMP support, USB ports dedicated for DACs, M.2 storage support, Killer networking and more.
Introduction and Technical Specifications

The X99 Gaming G1 is GIGABYTE's flagship product in their gaming line of Intel X99 chipset-based motherboards.

At an MSRP of $349.99, the board comes at a premium price to match it premium status.

The X99 Gaming G1 board was designed to take any abuse thrown its way, packing an 8-phase digital power system. GIGABYTE designed the board's power delivery system using top-rated components, including International Rectify Gen 4 digital PWM controllers and Gen 3 PowIRstage controllers, Cooper Bussmann Server Level chokes, and long life Durable Black Solid capacitors. For the integrated sound solution, GIGABYTE paired the X99 Gaming G1 board with the Creative Sound Core3D&trade quad-core audio processor, high-end audio capacitors, and a removable OP-AMP for a superior and customizable integrated audio experience.

Who is the biggest mobo maker of the year

If you prefer to talk about the sheer number of sales then ASUS is on track to take top spot with roughly 22 million units sold over 2014, a jump of over just 1 million from last year and 2 more than Gigabyte's predicted sales of 20 million units. ASUS will also hold on to the most profit this year, Gigabyte is expected to match last year's profit of about 97 million USD which falls short of ASUS' expected 130 million USD but that is not the whole story. Last year ASUS closed out with over 160 million USD profit which shows a significant decline in their profitability during the same period that Gigabyte's profitability remained the same. DigiTimes reports this as being due to increased spending by ASUS on marketing and price cuts on their motherboards. Is it possible that ASUS' once insurmountable lead in the motherboard market could be a thing of the past?
"Asustek Computer's motherboard shipments returned to six million units in the third quarter thanks to its aggressive price-cutting strategy, which helped the vendor slightly widen the gap with its major competitors Gigabyte Technology, according to sources from the motherboard industry. However, despite the fact that Asustek is estimated to ship more motherboards than Gigabyte in 2014, its profit growth may perform weaker than Gigabyte's."

Gigabyte Wants All Your Money for a 3-Way SLI Watercooled GTX 980 Setup
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 14, 2014 - 11:46 AM | Ryan Shrout

Earlier this week, a new product showed up on Gigabyte's website that has garnered quite a bit of attention. The GA-N980X3WA-4GD WaterForce Tri-SLI is a 3-Way SLI system with integrated water cooling powered by a set of three GeForce GTX 980 GPUs.
That. Looks. Amazing.
What you are looking at is a 3-Way closed loop water cooling system with an external enclosure to hold the radiators while providing a display full of information including temperatures, fans speeds and more. Specifications on the Gigabyte site are limited for now, but we can infer a lot from them:
- WATERFORCE :3-WAY SLI Water Cooling System
- Real-Time Display and Control
- Flex Display Technology
- Powered by NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 GPU
- Integrated with 4GB GDDR5 memory 256-bit memory interface(Single Card)
- Features Dual-link DVI-I / DVI-D / HDMI / DisplayPort*3(Single Card)
- BASE: 1228 MHz / BOOST: 1329 MHz
- System power supply requirement: 1200W(with six 8-pin external power connectors)
The GPUs on each card are your standard GeForce GTX 980 with 4GB of memory (we reviewed it here) though they are running at overclocked base and boost clock speeds, as you would hope with all that water cooling power behind it. You will need a 1200+ watt power supply for this setup, which makes sense considering the GPU horsepower you'll have access to.
Another interesting feature Gigabyte is listing is called GPU Gauntlet Sorting.
With GPU Gauntlet™ Sorting, the Gigabyte SOC graphics card guarantees the higher overclocking capability in terms of excellent power switching.
Essentially, Gigabyte is going to make sure that the GPUs on the WaterForce Tri-SLI are the best they can get their hands on, with the best chance for overclocking higher than stock.
Setup looks interesting - the radiators and fans will be in the external enclosure with tubing passing into the system through a 5.25-in bay. It will need to have quick connect/disconnect points at either the GPU or radiator to make that installation method possible.
Pricing and availability are still unknown, but don't expect to get it cheap. With the GTX 980 still selling for at least $550, you should expect something in the $2000 range or above with all the custom hardware and fittings involved.
Can I get two please?
Gigabyte Packs Factory Overclocked GTX 970 GPU Into Mini ITX Card
Subject: Graphics Cards | October 21, 2014 - 06:42 PM | Tim Verry

Gigabyte has announced a new miniature graphics card based around NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 970 GPU. The upcoming card is a dual slot, single fan design that is even shorter than the existing GTX 970 graphics cards (which are fairly short themselves). Officially known as the GV-N970IXOC-4GD, the miniaturized GTX 970 will be available for your small form factor (Mini ITX) systems in November for around $330.
The new Mini ITX compatible graphics card packs in a factory overclocked GeForce GTX 970 processor, 4GB of video memory, a custom PCB, and a custom WindForce-inspired cooler into a graphics card that is smaller than any of the existing GTX 970 cards. Gigabyte is using a custom design with a single 8-pin PCI-E power connector instead of two 6-pin connectors from the reference design or the 6-pin plus 8-pin from manufacturers like EVGA. The single power connector means less cabling to route (and
successfully attempt to hide heh) and better small form factor PSU compatibility. The cooler is an aluminum fin array with three copper heatpipes paired with a single shrouded fan.
The tiny card comes factory overclocked at 1076 MHz base and 1216 MHz boost, which is a respectable boost over the reference specifications. For reference, the GeForce GTX 970 processor is a 28nm chip using NVIDIA's GM204 "Maxwell" architecture with 1664 CUDA cores clocked at 1051 MHz base and 1178 MHz boost. It appears that Gigabyte has left the 4GB of GDDR5 untouched at 7.0 GT/s.

The display output on the miniature Gigabyte card differs slightly from the reference design with the addition of a DVI-D connection.
- 3 x DisplayPort
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x DVI-I
- 1 x DVI-D
According to Gigabyte, its custom cooler resulted in lower temperatures versus the reference design. The company claims that when running Metro: Last Light, the Mini ITX Gigabyte GTX 970 GPU ran at 62°C versus a reference design hitting 76°C running the same game. If true, the Gigabyte cooler is capable of keeping the card significantly cooler while taking up less space (though fan speeds and sound levels were not mentioned, nor compared to other custom coolers).
The small form factor friendly GTX 970 is coming next month with a MSRP of $329.99. Are you excited?

Gigabyte's X99-UD4 ... wait, is that what Dubstep is?
Subject: Motherboards | October 9, 2014 - 06:41 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gigabyte, Intel X99, X99-UD4
Gigabyte's X99-UD4 is going with a more aesthetically clean design than other X99 boards have been sporting, although it does have a 30-µm gold layer on the CPU socket, DIMM slots, and PCIe x16 slots so don't think they skipped out on the design. Cooper Bussmann chokes and solid-state capacitors as well as International Rectifier's PowIRstage all-digital circuitry explain both the high power efficiency and smooth overclock settings that The Tech Report found when benchmarking this board. However if you really want to see the most impressive feature on this board you have to head over and watch the video on the first page of the review.
"Buying into Intel's high-end desktop platform doesn't have to be exorbitantly expensive. Gigabyte's X99-UD4 motherboard offers an affordable path to Haswell-E, and it doesn't skimp on quality hardware or extra perks. We've taken a closer look at the board to see if the rest of it measures up."
