I know a lot of folks here like the 1911 platform.
Kimber is considered by many as the gold standard for 1911s. What would you consider the next best option?
What would be the best value for a 1911?
I don't see myself being able to afford a premium model 1911 in the near future. So I am going to keep my eye open for something a just bit lower priced.
"Only the Sith deal in absolutes."
"My dog is smarter than your honor student."
Kimber is a great gun no doubt, but I wouldn't consider them 'gold standard '. I personally think Wilson combat is top of the line when it comes to 1911's.
Oh and as far as next best to kimber, Springfield.
"Kimber is considered by many as the gold standard for 1911s."
That's news to me. Possibly Kimber thinks so. The new Colt Firearms Colt 1911s are looking and functioning great these days if you can somehow manage to locate one on a dealer shelf somewhere...and they keep their value extremely well should you ever decide to sell it.
I have a Kimber and Colt. I prefer the Colt!
Praise the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle --- Psalm 144
I just bought a Kimber compact CDP II. If I had more to choose from I might have bought a Colt or Springfield. I have 500 flawless rounds of FMJ and 100 HP through it. Once I hit 1000 rounds it will be added to the carry rotation and I'd trust my life with it.
I now want a full size and have settled on the Springfield TRP at about $1600. Now just to locate one. Good luck with your 1911 journey.
I have always liked the Colts. What about something like a Les Baer?
I like the Kimbers on the range. No problems with mine ever. I will get a Colt 1911 some day just have not found it yet. but I changed over a year ago and carry a Glock or Ruger LC9.
Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.

Two Words..................................ED BROWN
IMHO, The Colt .45 1911 is the "standard" and the new Gold standard is made by Cabot Arms.
There is no other 1911 manufacturer who guarantees that every part is a "drop-in" replacement.
Colts are priced pretty good too and the new Ruger is a good value also.
But remember - Opinions here are worth every ¢ you pay for them. :)

I want a nice 1911 but I do not want to pay for a nice 1911...
I'm not even sure why I want one, I just do.
Concealed means hidden from ordinary observation so as to prevent disclosure or recognition. A deadly weapon is concealed when it is carried on or about the person in such a manner that another person in the ordinary course of events would not be placed on notice that the weapon was being carried.
1911's are great, they are like an extension of the arm. If you want value without spending $2,000 plus I would look at Springfield and the Sigs.
Top Tier: Wilson Combat, Ed Brown, Nighthawk Custom, Les Baer, Springfield Custom shop, Smith & Wesson Custom shop, Colt custom shop, Guncrafter Industries
Upper-Mid tier: Dan Wesson, Springfield Loaded and TRP, Colt, Smith & Wesson, Sig Sauer
Mid Tier: Kimber, Springfield GI, Rugar, Remington
low tier: Taurus and others
This is not all inclusive and is just my opinion on the quality of each brand of 1911 taken as a whole. Custom guns are noticeably better in fit, finish, trigger job, and accuracy that's for sure. If you're looking at Kimber I'd go with Colt, Springfield, Dan Wesson, or Sig first if the choice is available.
note: I also am not saying any on this list are bad guns but I find the overall quality to be higher on some brands vs another. Some differences can be felt immediately upon handling and inspection, others during firing.

I got the Ruger SR1911 and it is a great gun. I have run anything from brass FMJ to steel case FMJ and hollow points through it flawlessly. An added plus was I got it for $640 new.
I would rather die on my feet then live on my knees.

Good quality but dont throw away paper work
these chairs are nice and does the job. the only issue that I found was that after assembling the chairs, the legs may be uneven. there were instructions to fix this issue but I didnt pay attention to them and thought that i would be able to get over the wobbling. that was a big mistake. Now i have to find the time during my busy day to try and contact customer service to try and get those instructions to fix the uneven legs of the chairs. I hope once i get the instructions, i'll be able to easily fix the problem. other than this issue, the chairs look good.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. good

You say you had bad credit, so you needed to resort to a company like Blue Hippo so you can buy a computer.
Unfourtunately Blue Hippo Filed for Bankruptcy, and you will never see another dime of your money.
Well, think about it, how many credit cards did you default on, and not pay them? How many cars got repo'd from you, and they sold them for a large loss?
Feels kinda bad, when some one does it to you huh?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

- Writing love letters should be delicately prepared and written. These kinds of letters are commonly read many times and kept forever. Also, these letters are often very personal and emotional; you can bring up a problem unless they are used for special events such as Valentine's Day or an Anniversary. According to many young people, under 30, they opt to send an email or buy a car than to write a love letter to their special someone. They like the category of compliment or appreciation more than the love letter ideas. They think that the love letter method is an old-fashioned way to show your love to someone.
- Tell him or her how your relationship helps in improving your efficiency in school or work.
- Expound that as you learn about your new love, you also discover interesting facts about her or him.
- Make a list of some of the interests and beliefs that you both share.
- Tell him or her that your differences can make your relationship, and your outlook on life deeper.
- Openly tell him or her that you are falling in love with him or her, and you want to see exclusively each other.
- Invite him or her to meet again to get to know each other's life more.

Dear [Recipients Name],
From the moment I knew you, I haven't been the same. Being with you makes me a better person and helps me see the world with a brand new perspective. I'm pleased that we have several things in common, but I am also excited that we have differences. These differences broaden our horizons. I didn't give classical music a lot of thought before, but when I met you, you taught me that it can give depth to my life. I've even bought Bach's "Brandenburg Concertos" on CD so that I can play it while I'm driving. Are you enjoying the Owl City CD I gave you? My supervisor also noticed the changes in me. He told me that I'm creative and energetic in my work.
I have to admit; I am falling for you. Going out with other ladies seems meaningless now. I've already met the one for me. Seeing you or even just talking to you over the phone completes my day. Can we have dinner on Saturday night to bring this relationship to a new level? We can watch a movie afterward. I will call you, and we'll have a talk.
Missing you.

Now that I think of it, I just realized what may have inspired my lifelong love of dishware! I'm thrilled to have that plate to this day ... and now it qualifies as an antique!
|Image via Flickr.
I remember my paternal grandmother keeping a stash of cookies in a bygone era lunchbox made of enamel much like the one pictured above. It was so very charming and just a bit difficult for little hands to pry open. Smart cookie, that grandmother!
|Images via various sources.
I doubt that early artisans would have guessed that melting powdered glass over metal would evolve from decorative arts and jewelry to enamelware for food service.
|Image via Air Kiss.
I have several antique-loving friends that are drawn to porcelain enamel like flies to pie. These girls can seek out the most hidden pieces in a stuffed secondhand store with absolute precision.
|Image via Making Macy.
What I find so clever is their ability to use enamelware in ways that are both decorative and unexpected ... for floral arrangements, fruit and vegetable displays, even to collect and store jewelry, mail, remote controls, etc. Brilliant!

And, to think I simply use mine for cooking and serving. Boring, I know.

But, if I had enamelware with some jazzy tole painting or witty design, I might be more inclined to use it for entertaining.

I'm quite inspired to add to my porcelain enamel collection just to host another seafood soiree and create a seaside table setting like the one above.

One Chinese owner, a millionaire called Mr Han, decided enough was enough, and paid a bunch of workers to batter the offending supercar to death with sledgehammers - and we have all the pics. No really. The incident took place in Qingdao city in China's Shandong province on 15 March, and comes after the Gallardo's owner had unsuccessfully written to Lamborghini CEO Stephen Winkelmann to complain. http://cars.uk.msn.com/news/photos.aspx ... =156518198

Nothing surprises me about Microsoft anymore. They've always approached doing business in a very underhanded way, foisting products upon people, whether they like it or not. And they don't seem to be very friendly towards users using third-party products, a point proven by their latest stunt.
Recently, a very big update to Windows 10 How to Upgrade to Windows 10 Version 1511 Now How to Upgrade to Windows 10 Version 1511 Now Can't seem to install the Windows 10 Fall Update? It wouldn't be the Microsoft we know and love, if there wasn't some kind of screw-up along the line. Let us help! Read More was released, which brought with it some nice improvements An Insider Review of the Windows 10 Fall Update An Insider Review of the Windows 10 Fall Update The Windows 10 Fall Update contains many minor improvements, a few feature updates, and a bunch of new settings. We show you what to expect and which default settings you might want to adjust. Read More . But what was not publicized in Microsoft's fanfare was that the update very quietly reset your privacy settings, and reset the default apps back to Windows Store apps Don't Be Fooled! 5 Tips To Avoid Fake Apps In The Windows Store Don't Be Fooled! 5 Tips To Avoid Fake Apps In The Windows Store The Windows Store has been spoiled by useless junkware and scams. Microsoft recently purged many fake apps, but the store still features questionable apps. We show you how not to get scammed. Read More . Gee thanks Redmond.
Why, Microsoft, Why!?
Finding out that your customizations have all been wiped out will be particularly galling, if you have spent a great deal of time and effort getting your PC just right How to Change Default Apps and Settings in Windows 10 How to Change Default Apps and Settings in Windows 10 Windows 10 makes a lot of decisions for the lazy user. If you would prefer to be your own master, you can set your own preferences. We show you how. Read More . And it is especially annoying, if you had absolutely no clue it had been done in the first place.
Well, now it's time to put things back the way they were. There's no guarantee however that it won't happen again with future patches.
Privacy First
Bring up your Start Menu (Windows key) and type Settings. Then when the box pops up, go to Privacy and then General.
The first thing you will notice (if you previously turned it off) is that your "advertising ID" has been turned back on again. Since this means information is collected from you to feed you targeted ads How to Ban Windows 10 Ads & NSFW Content from Your Desktop How to Ban Windows 10 Ads & NSFW Content from Your Desktop Windows 10 may be crossing a line with desktop ads and NSFW content. Microsoft and third-party developers can push promotional material directly onto your desktop. We show you how you can defend yourself. Read More , I always switch this off. Nice try Microsoft, trying to sneak that one past me. Go ahead and turn that off again, but note that you will still see ads.
Opting Out of Personalized Browser Ads
Next, look to the bottom of that box and click on Manage my Microsoft advertising and other personalisation info. This will take you to this page, where you will perhaps notice that these have all been turned on, too (if they were previously off). Again, changing them back is as simple as clicking them off with the mouse.
Default Apps
OK, now go back to your Settings box and click on System. There, you will find an option for Default Apps. You will need to look here to see if Microsoft has changed the default apps back to their own Windows Store products, as many people are suggesting on places such as Reddit.
Indeed, my Skype was replaced by something new called "Skype Video". My music and video player was changed to Windows Media Player This Is How You Can Add External Subtitles On Windows Media Player This Is How You Can Add External Subtitles On Windows Media Player Adding subtitles in Windows Media Player is easy. All you need is Windows Media Player 12, a movie, matching subtitles, and our step-by-step instructions. We can even help you find subtitles!

Here's why you should be using it. Read More . At that point, I was so ticked off that if a Microsoft representative had come to the front door, I would have chopped them up for dog food.
So go ahead and click on each one, and change them back to your preferred settings.
If you want to really analyze all of your file associations to see if any have changed, then at the bottom of that box, is something called Choose Default Applications By File Type, and that will allow you to see if anything else has been discreetly altered to "Groove Music".
The other one, Choose Default Applications by Protocol, lets you see what will open various web standards such as your FTP program The Three Best Free FTP Clients for Windows The Three Best Free FTP Clients for Windows Read More , your VOIP Goodbye, Skype: 4 Alternative VOIP Services You Can Record Calls With Goodbye, Skype: 4 Alternative VOIP Services You Can Record Calls With Can't record calls with Skype anymore? Recent changes that break support of third-party apps have left many users frustrated. Could now be the time to try an alternative VoIP call recording service? Read More program, and so forth. And it was then that it hit me right in the face. A month or so ago, I removed all the installed Windows Store apps from my PC, using CCleaner. I didn't want them, I didn't need them (except for Solitaire – that isn't going anywhere!). The new version of CCleaner allows you to remove unwanted Store apps How to Easily Remove Bloatware From Windows 10 How to Easily Remove Bloatware From Windows 10 Windows 10 comes with several pre-installed apps that take up space on your device and aren't easy to remove. Sounds like bloatware, doesn't it? We show you how to remove these apps. Read More . But now, Microsoft had reinstalled them all!
So here I go again, removing them all. Sigh, I have better things to do with my Saturday. Like watch reruns of the Muppet Show with my dog.
Have you manually installed any drivers on your computer How to Find & Replace Outdated Windows Drivers How to Find & Replace Outdated Windows Drivers Your drivers might be outdated and need updating, but how are you to know? First, don't fix it if it ain't broke! If drivers do need updating, though, here are your options. Read More ? If so, you may find that Microsoft has overwritten them with their own. This just gets better and better doesn't it?
Open a Command Prompt (WIN + R) and type driverquery. This will then give you the entire list of drivers installed on your computer.
Now type driverquery /v >c:\temp\driver.txt and this list will be copied to a text file. If you don't want it in the c:\temp folder, then you can change that to anywhere you want. Maybe the desktop would be more convenient?
Having the text file makes it easier to search, and you can see if any specific drivers have been altered.
The Printer
Yes, I know, printing something is very antiquated. But some of us are antiques who like to do things the old-fashioned way. If this describes you and you have a printer attached to your computer, it's time to see if Microsoft has been fiddling around with THAT too.
Seemingly they have been tweaking things so that, if you have more than one printer, it sets the last used printer as the default one for the next time you need to print something. If you have multiple printers on a network, and the default one keeps getting changed everytime someone prints something, it won't be long before chaos reigns. But there's an easy solution.
First, open up that trusty Start Menu 6 Ways to Hack & Customize the Windows 10 Start Menu 6 Ways to Hack & Customize the Windows 10 Start Menu The Windows 10 Start Menu combines classic elements with modern tiles. Tiles can add a lot of creative freedom. We'll give you tips and reveal tricks for customizing the entire Start Menu to your preferences. Read More and type printers and scanners. When the box opens up, you will see this:
Just switch the default printer option Off, and you're peachy.
Keep an Eye on This…
As I said before, there is no guarantee that Microsoft won't do this again with future patches. So you need to keep careful watch on these things. By doing this stunt, Microsoft has proved that it can't be trusted.
Keep this page bookmarked, and when future patches appear, double-check that your preferred settings are still there. If not, this page will be your guide, or alternatively you can use a portable app called Default Programs Editor, which you may find easier to use.
How do you feel about Windows 10 changing your preferences with every update? Annoying, deceitful, or an understandable business practice? Can you still trust Microsoft? I leave the final judgement to you.

Without my consent or knowledge, today Microsoft Windows 10 appears to have deinstalled my Aveira security replacing it with Defender. I did not want or ask for this change, also a minor point, my claock time has disappeared from the task bar and i can't find a way to get it back. Microsoft sucks!
I just bought a Windows 10 computer five days ago and was forced to up 3 of those five days. I actually read the EULA. Windows 10 is nothing but spyware, tracking everything you do, say, type, and invades all aspects of your computing experience. Microsoft is just an extension of Big Brother, nothing more. Changing my settings with every update is not going to cut it for me. If I'm going to have to check my settings after every update, I'm taking this computer back to the store for a refund. I created a local account hoping to avoid this BS, but NO! I can't believe people actually like this OS. And Cortana is the worst; if you use it, you agree to let Microsoft turn on all the spyware that you just turned off. WTF?????
Thanks, but I'll stick with my Mac.
The latest update (9-18-2016) removed all my trusted locations so that databases I wrote on my computer are no longer trusted. And, it appears that they've added a layer of security somewhere so that, even though I add the trusted locations, the files are still not trusted.
I can open the files and navigate the forms I've created, but cannot edit, or work on the database itself.
I can work around it by opening the database from within Access. I really love doing that because it is soooo much more convenient to go through several steps to open a file than it is to click a desktop icon.
I love Microsoft, and can't wait for the next update!
Also if your Photoshop caused a BSOD and you changed the graphics driver setting to force it run on nVidia GPU before the update, it was also defaulted to integrated GPU during the update.
Just so you know, Mark, this article helped me fix my printer problem! Thanks.
Mine as well... I've been fighting with it for a while now.
Under your heading "Opting Out of Personalized Browser Ads" your link "to this page" opens - https://choice.microsoft.com/en-GB/opt-out - that yields Server Not Found.
When I click on "Manage my account advertising . . . " in Settings>Privacy>General it opens the page - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=298891 - which is blank in Firefox and yields "Page not available" in Opera and Chrome.
Is Microsoft playing with us?
Since the latest update or upgrade or whatever, I am having problems with both of my printers. The printer function works fine, but the scanner has disappeared, or at least I can't get to it through the printer function anymore. Do you have a fix for this?
It might be that steam has insufficient rights to take a look in my windows files/settings etc.
But from an automated generated steam hardware inquiry i got the folowing results:
OS Version:
Windows 10 (64 bits)
NTFS: supported
Taal gebruikersinterface: Nederlands
Date OS installed : jan 01 1970
I translated some since I'm using a dutch version. But found it weird to get a modern OS and having it 'installed' in 1970 . I'm only born in 1992 and did the installation myself ;)
Does this author work part time a Fox News? He is well qualified to work for them but should leave technology alone.
No, he doesn't. Do you work for Microsoft? Seems like you would with an attitude like this. You know, the one that promotes them doing whatever they like no matter what the customer wants. Why should Microsoft knowingly change a customer's computer settings? Well, let's see....Because it favors their own ends. To invade our privacy. To unfairly promote their own products above any other entities. To gather information on the users of Windows and then sell that information and/or use it to their own profit. To control information. Do you like being a Windows sheeple?
Especially cruel to do this around Thanksgiving, so our parents blame us for ruining their computer.
Did absolutely no one realize that this update behaved like a fresh OS installation?
Considering this, it's kind of expected behavior for the system to revert back to the default settings.
I'm sorry, but no where did microsoft tell us that this would be a fresh and or new install of windows 10. My upgrade from windows 8.1 to 10 retained all of my settings and actually fixed a lot of things. I was able to keep my backgrounds, files, games that I had installed. At some point during the upgrade I was informed there was one program deemed incompatible with windows 10 and I was asked if I wanted to have uninstalled. Regardless of how it looked or its behavior, what happened this November was not a fresh install, it was an update and along with the program that it removed without my permission it actually broke a few things.
I am sorry if I sound angry but in the past I have trusted Microsoft. And no, they didn't always get it right but they didn't go out of their way to do the wrong thing. When they screwed up they sent out patches or hot-fixes. Back with XP they even sent out copies of service pack 2 in the mail. I don't recognize Microsoft's behavior lately. It's not anything I feel good about.
Well, it is an UPGRADE, not an update. This crucial fact is also stated in a newer MUO article: Microsoft is referring to the November release as an update. But it's actually an upgrade that replaces your Windows 10 installation with a newer version, specifically Version 1511, or Build 10586.
Thank you for all of your work. We were also particularly interested in your article regarding AGV selling client data. I sent that article on to a few people. There will always be issues allowing these big companies access to our computers. They're a lot smarter than me. All we can do is our very best to be responsible in our spheres and lock onto people like Makeuseof who keep their fingers on the pulse of what is happening in the world of technology. Thanks again.
The more I look through the settings in this operating system and the more I learn what update 1511 has done I am seeing that windows 10 just a big piece of spyware and or malware that we've been duped into installing. Microsoft, what happened? In the past you've put out patches and security fixes to prevent scenarios like this. I'm disappointed.
I had a computer that had windows 3.1 on it. 95 brought possibilities into light and future OSs like 98 and XP showed us what those possibilities looked like. Yeah, there were goofs like ME and Vista but hey, regardless of any mistakes made you always seemed to make good on the next OS.
I guess we've always known that Big Brother was lurking and right now its wearing the face of Microsoft.
Makes me glad that I am still chugging along with Windows 7. Even if they are going to give me 10 for free I won't be upgrading unless there is some guarantee that Micro$oft won't keep resetting everything to what they want. It's my computer and I know what I want not Micro$oft!
Unfreeking believable. Like I have time for this crap! It's my computer, let use use it the way I want to.
Sometimes window key and q will open it.
My issues after the update are that I now have to manually type in the IP of my file server in order to access it. And rather than informing me that a program that I used in Win 10 before this update is now incompatible and asking me what to do, it went ahead without my permission and uninstalled it. I reinstalled the program and have had no issues with it since.
This is despicable. I dual boot and will use Linux more than I have in the past. Until this current policy of Microsoft's change I will use windows only when I have to.
My Windows 10 updated yesterday and now my Start Menu and Search box no longer respond when clicked. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?
Are you into the metro tiles? If not or if it doesn't matter one way or the other you can try installing classic shell. It would be a cheap fix and it'll give you a few options that you didn't have before. If you don't like it you can uninstall Classic Shell.
press windows key and q at the same time.
I did some more research and found out this dates back to the summer and is a recurring issue. There is a fix at http://www.bidnessetc.com/technology published by Martin Blanc on Aug 5, 2015. I applied the fix and now I am okay till the next time.
Are any of you set up to get Insider builds? I'm pretty sure resetting settings like this is standard on Insider builds because it takes some additional effort by Microsoft to write the settings migration code, which is only done just before the normal release of the patch.
But there is a MUCH WORSE issue I'm shocked no one in the tech press is talking about: the removal in Windows 10 of all desktop program's ability to set their own file association defaults. YOU have to personally go into Settings and set each app default manually. For example, I install MPC-HC, the best video player out there for Windows, and it tries to automatically sets itself as the default for the many different video file types. But it fails without error, and Windows simply doesn't do it, because they are determined to FORCE you to use their truly, truly awful built in Videos app. This applies to every other program you install, even for example, Adobe Reader, which is no longer able to associate itself with PDF files!
Of course, you can go into Settings | Defaults, but that is a VERY long and difficult process, especially for MPC-HC, which doesn't list in the available apps or programs list, forcing you to find each individual FSCKING video file type, of which there are tons, and BROWSE to the MPC-HC executable to associate it.
FSCK you Microsoft, for this!!!
Oh, and one more truly annoying change: after you drag a window into a corner or to a side, if you resize it a bit then drag it around, it immediately REVERTS to the original size, before you ever dragged it to the side. This is a horribly annoying behavior which means endless resizing of windows over and over again.
I remember this being broken in the pre-release versions of Windows 8, then they fixed it before final release. I think Microsoft laid off the person responsible for putting this back to the original behavior, now the idiots don't know that it's so badly broken!
I don't know why people are so surprised,after all this is just typical micro$oft behavior, there have been countless warnings over the last few decades, warning of this behavior and how it has been getting worse with each new version. The poor security, spy wear, the anti competitive behavior, but it seems to fall on deaf ears. Terribly sorry, but if you keep doing the same thing, ie, installing micro$oft products you cannot reasonably expect anything to improve. And just in case you can see I am typing this on a windoze pc, its not mine it belongs to the local adult education centre. For some unfathomable reason they recently removed the fairly functioning Win7 or Win 8, not sure which, and replaced with this dogs breakfast called win10. To quote Catherine Tate "What a load of ol' shit!" I swear someone at this organization is getting a kickback
Also just curious, but do you actually know what an FSCK is?
Yup, none of this happened to me. So I'm confused now
Windows 10 is frustrating....updates not explained...half finished Browser, Email client also.
Edge has no extensions.
Email won't show complete text and scrolling to right stops short. Must download most text emails.
When anyone asks me about it..I refer to it as Vista2, I tell them to stay away from it.
I'm not sure this is a step up from Windows 7. I may go back or switch to Linux.
Another change the latest update does. If you have several computers connect in a homegroup, the upgrade turns all sharing OFF

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - April 5, 2005, New Braunfels, Texas Page 4A — Herald-Zeitung — Tuesday, April 5, 2005 FORUM Other Viewpoints Show greater respect for Mother Earth The Standard, Nairobi, Kenya, on global warming: As the world marked the World Meteorological Day, serious questions continued to emerge as to the state of world climate. The weather patterns seem to have changed so drastically that the rainy seasons have become virtually unpredictable and droughts have become more sporadic. Scientists have for years warned about severe climactic changes caused by global warming. The 1990s has, for instance, been listed as the warmest decade in the past 1,000 years. The reason for this, experts say, is the warming up of the oceans, something that has been gradually increasing every year. though scientists have studied global warming for decades, they have been hampered by lack of proper equipment. Now, they claim to have it and they have pointed to the oceans as the source of the warming. The work of saving the world environment is a collective one. But as a nation we can play our role hy ensuring stricter laws on environmental pollution and the conservation of the environment. Ultimately it is the human being that will ensure the destruction of the Barth by his habits. It is also him or her that can stop global warming by showing a greater respect for the environment. Today in History By The Associated Press Today's I lighlight in I listory: On April 5,1792, George Washington cast the first presidential veto, rejecting a congressional measure for apportioning representatives among the states. On this date: In 1614, American Indian princess Pocahontas married lungfish colonist John Rolfe in Virginia. In 1621, the "Mayflower" sailed from Plymouth, Mass., on a return trip to England. In 1887, British historian Lord Acton wrote, "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." in 1961. Julius and FAhel Rosenberg were sentenced to death following their conviction in New York on charges of conspiring to commit espionage for the Soviet Union; co-defendant Morton Sobell was sentenced to 30 years in prison (he was released in 1969). In 1964, Army Gen. Douglas MacArthur died in Washington at age 84.

Although I live in Victoria, I often read die Herald-Zeitung. Here is a prime example of what is to come regarding the naming of the new school. Last week you ran a "Kudos" article that my mother (Lucille Ormond) wrote thanking everyone for all Herald-Zeitung Serving Net*' Braunfels and Comal County since 1852.

I'. y >uraiif Qco ,1JcMJdc im jVnct I wri/\r (TWBit- 'my -forever...- www.caglecartoons.com GUESTCOLUMN Have we as a nation chosen a policy of death over living? The story that swept the nation the past two weeks is one of dramatic pleas, desperate parents, an indifferent husband and a defenseless woman. The story embodies all of the elements of a new blockbuster movie. The problem is the story is not a movie. I ask you to imagine for a moment a situation where Terri Schiavo was not handicapped. Imagine a woman who is full of life, full of spirit and full of love. Now imagine that her husband, Michael, abandons her and begins a new life with a new lover, making a whole new family. Should this estranged husband have any rights of kinship whatsoever? Everyone reading this letter probably knows someone who has been abandoned by a husband. Do you want that estranged husband coming back into your life, telling you what to do with your money, your home, your life? I ask, because this is exactly what happened. When Michael Schiavo abandoned Terri and began his extramarital affair, he stopped trying to help her through therapy, and suddenly "remembered" that she would want to die. At that moment, he began his struggle to starve Terri to death. Despite what the media kept saying, Terri was not in a "permanent vegetative state." She was alive! The biggest handicap that Terri Schiavo had was that she was being forced to consume food through a tube. Before her husband had a change of heart (literally), Terri was learning to eat baby foods. She was in speech therapy. She was even learning to take a few feeble attempts at moving her legs while standing (yes, she was Letter to the Editor they do for the residents at Eden Home. In her original letter, she thanked the students from Canyon I ligh School for the bingo game they held at Eden Home. In the print, the students from Canyon Lake were the ones thanked. This was very upsetting to my mother because she wants the credit to go to the rightful group, Canyon High School students, not Canyon l^ke. DANIEL MITCHELL Daniel Mitchell is a learning to walk). She smiled, she laughed, she knew fear, pain, love and joy. The court did not even order them to "pull the plug" on her (in the sense of a person on life support), since there was no plug keeping her alive. The feeding tube was not keeping her alive. It was simply the bowl and spoon that fed her. So a woman who was relearning to eat, walk and talk, who could see, hear, think, and love, and %r " who could understand the New Br'"mfels resule'"-love of others, was sent to her death, simply because her estranged husband no longer wanted a life with her. As a nation, we either must starve to death all of the handicapped persons in the world, or we must allow them to live. Terri Schiavo committed no crime deserving of the death penalty imposed on her by the courts and her estranged husband. Why did we want to kill a woman who had people willing to care for her? Why did we want to allow an estranged husband to demand that his abandoned wife be starved to death? I lave we lost our ability to determine right from wrong? Have we lost our understanding that life is the greatest gift any of us has been given? I lave we chosen a policy of deadi? Do you get the idea? The school isn t even built and students are being thanked for something they didn t do. I am a graduate of Canyon I ligh School, Class of 1961, and even then we were confused with Canyon, Texas.

Joe - Without a Paddle
As soon as Joe clicked on the little bomb, his computer switched off.
"Huh, that's odd." He mused.
"Even stranger, I'm not the musing type!"
"Calm down, Joe, you're having one of your episodes." Davy explained gently.
"Yes, Davy. I am indeed having one of my episodes."
So Davy and Joe left the room and decided to go into the bedroom to have a lay down and a think.
"Soooo, Joe. I really did think your poems showed a part of you I hadn't known about before."
"Yeah, howabout that." Joe quickly replied. "But what are we going to do about the computer?"
"Ahh, we don't need the computer for fun, I'll show you other ways to have fun!"
"Why the hell not." Joe responded submissivly.
3 minutes and 21 seconds later.
"HELL NO!" Joe shouted. "And what is that squiggly line?"
"Not your idea of fun?" Davy asked innocently.
"Seriously Davy, the reason the internet was created was because we all realised that Monopoly could only be played so many times!"
"But what about the little doggy? Look, I put the hat on him, and it's covered his whole head!"
"Right, I'm going for a walk. I would like it if you phoned the internet company to find out why... well, why they suck balls." And with that, Joe went out and slammed the door behind him.
"Wow," Davy said out loud. "Someone needs to get laid!"

False Refuges! (2 of 2) by Jesse Hendley
This content is part of a series.FALSE REFUGES! (2 of 2)
Jesse M. Hendley
Isaiah 28:17
Today we take up the fact that refuges of lies shall
be ultimately swept away and the soul will be left
naked and shivering in the cold and the darkness and
lost! It is a terrible thing to realize that false
refuges will not stand. They will be swept away.
The Dying Hour
First of all, in the dying hour. When a person comes
to die, the mental vision may become peculiarly acute.
For instance, in drowning or some other tremendous
moment when death has been very near some people have
said that their whole lives unreeled before them in a
flash. Things thy had long forgotten came back to them
in a flash. Their whole life was suddenly exposed to
their vision.
Moral sense comes to the fore is that moment. A man
who hasn't had much concern about the morality of his
actions and behavior in life when death begins to come
that sense of the value of morality and goodness and
living right and for God comes to mind, particularly
one's relationship with God. A man may forget all
about the Lord Jesus Christ until he comes to die, but
in that moment he realizes that all these things OTHER
THAN CHRIST are refuges of lies---religion, partial
reformation, Christian activity, attendance at public
worship and all the rest of it, will be swept away if
he has not in his heart received the Lord Jesus Christ
definitely as his Saviour and Lord, if he has never
known Christ in a real and vital experience.
The moral sense as well as the mental vision becomes
distinct and keen in that moment. A man with perfect
honesty of spirit throws off all the mask he has
placed over his actions and behavior and he faces
definitely JUST EXACTLY WHAT HE IS in that moment. A
man is what he is, when he comes to die. That is the
mirror that reflects the true image of what we really
are. False refuges he now realizes have been useless
and actually have been a means of damning his ...

Wonderful Constellation!
Sail Date: May 19, 2016
Reviewed: 11 months ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
It had been over a decade since we were on the Constellation and I can state that it is still a wonderful ship in remarkable condition. The crew was wonderful which might be a reflection of the Captain who was approachable and very visible throughout the trip. The Dalmatian coast itinerary lived up to it's expectations and we would select this ship again without reservation. The shore excursions and shuttles buses ran like clock work. The only very minor criticism I would make is who ever selects the "music" for the Oceanview Cafe should be locked in a room and required to listen to it. Overall another wonderful trip on Celebrity!

a low poly model for realtime animation would probably be under 1000 triangles.
perhaps one of the modeler folks out there can give you some better numbers.
my personal guess is you'll need to simplify that mesh sooner or later.

It all depends on the scene complexity.
DO You know what is the average polygon number in nowadays games for character???? I read somewhere in google that 8000-12000 polygons. So my character exceed this limit several times, so I have to undoubtedly reduce my mesh. Am I right? Or maybe my numbers for polygon and vertex is OK?
1. What is the style of the game
2. How many characters will be on screen ?
3. Indoor / Outdoor ?
4. Target HW (nvidia Riva TNT 4 MB from 1997 or GF680 3 GB) ?
If it is a main character, that takes up a big portion of the screen due to 3rd person camera, there is no terrain (just some cheap indoor), and there will be only a handful of enemies around, I wouldn't really worry about character being 100,000 tris.
Unless, of course, you plan to run it on a cell phone from 2003,,,

Any particular reason for the drastic disparity between CPU & GPU ? You'd be much better of with half-speed CPU - e.g. 1 GHz and way older (but a proper - uncastrated- card) - e.g. 6800 (with 6800 I actually had some experience and she could handle easily 1 Mil tris in scene)
The GPU you mention are the slowest ones of each respective family of GPUs (series 7, series 8)- e.g. they're 64/128bit, majority of shader units are disabled, VRAM is also very small. Now, they'll still handle the higher polycount better, than some heavy postprocessing, but I doubt they can handle that many tris.
I don't think you can render 10x100k = ~ 1 Mil tris scene on these GPUs. If you said 7600 or 8800, that would change things a lot.
These cards are always the cheapest ones (e.g. $20) - why don't you grab one and see for yourself ?

Chapter Two-Secrets
Chapter Two
The next morning I woke with a massive headache due to lack of sleep. I couldn't get Grandmother's book out of my head. What did it mean by curse? Surely it wasn't what I thought it was, was it? I doubted it, but I still couldn't fight the urge to read more of the book, our book, my book, my family's history.
I flung the covers off and sat up, my head instantly pounding and giving me a dizzy spell, I cringed from the pain. I stood up and walked to my own personal bathroom. I washed my face and opened the medicine cabinet. Well, it was my version of a medicine cabinet, all that was in there was aspirin, allergy medication for my allergies to cats, and bandages. I took an aspirin then headed downstairs. I was about to have breakfast when I noticed a note on the counter, it said:
I realized you were right about the groceries, so I went to town to pick them up. I left at 9;20am-ish, I should be about an hour, so whenever you get up, help yourself to the pre-made pancakes in the fridge. Leona already ate, and when I left she was in her room cutting up more paper, did you notice the pile of it beside her bed? I wonder what she plans on doing with it. Anyway, I better get going before you get up and this note goes to waste.
Typical. My grandmother always signed her letters with the word bad, not because she was, but she'd gotten used to it. Her initials spelled out BAD: Beth Angela Dmetrius. My grandmother had gotten married to a Jerry Haroll, but had gotten her last name re-changed to Dmetrius after the divorce.
I looked at the clock. 9:34am, I had just missed her.
I went to the fridge to fetch the pancakes when it hit me.
The book.
This was my only chance to read the book without having to worry about grandma catching me.
I forgot all about the pancakes and breakfast in general as I ran as fast as I could to grandmother's room.
When I got there I went straight to the night stand where the book had been left last night, only it wasn't there. I quickly scanned grandma's only bookshelf. It was small, had maybe four shelves and about thirty to forty books. But not one of them was the one I was looking for.
I thought to myself for a moment, grandmother seemed very erratic about me reading it, which brought me to believe that she didn't want Leona or I to ever read it, so she must have hidden it.
I immediately went to her closet. I checked behind her clothes underneath the custom built shelving unit, and then finally I found it at the very top shelf of the closet underneath a pile of photo albums. I pulled it out carefully, I didn't want it to rip or any pages to fall out, so as soon as I was able to grab it with two hands I slid it fully out with ease.
Not wanting to risk having Leona walk in on me, I left Grandma's room and walked to my room, I put the book under my pillow and quickly went to check in on Leona. Her back was facing the door so she didn't see me look in.
I was shocked at what I saw.
Beside her bed was a massive pile of cut up pieces of paper of all different colours, it was about the size of a small leaf pile, and sitting in front of it was Leona, steadily cutting more and more paper. I secretly wondered how many packages she had gone through so far.
"Leave." Leona's voice startled me, how could she have possibly heard me?
I stayed where I was, certain that she couldn't be talking to me, when she said, "I can hear your breathing, Rinoa. I know that it's you. So leave." She didn't even bother to turn around to face me.
Without saying a word I slipped out of her room and went back up to my room.
I checked the clock.
I was running out of time.
I grabbed the book out from under my pillow and went to the chair in the corner of my room. I carefully opened the book to the first page, they were just journal entries, I'd read those later, I was looking for something in particular.
I kept flipping until I reached the page that I was looking for.
Dmetrius Family Curse
For some reason, my hands were trembling. Trembling, over a book.
No. Not the book. I knew darn right that it wasn't the book, it was what was inside the book.
October 29th 1890
Crime. That's what brought this upon our family. A crime that shouldn't have taken place in the first place, or at least that's how I feel. I'd like to start this documentary off like the professionals.
My name is Will Dmetrius. I'm going to give a recap of the crime before stating the information about the curse. But for starters, I have to say that this happened three years ago, I only now had the chance, and the information to write it all down.
Late one evening on September 12th, 1887, a ship called "The Smith" was scheduled to dock at the bay. My family and relatives aren't one of the rich families and weren't fond of it either. So three of the elders, Robert, Anna and Kerry, decided that it would be a good idea to steal the riches from the ship seeing that it is carrying some of the richest people in the world. I was one of the few to disagree and state that this wasn't a knowledgeable decision. But what use is it to argue with the elders, they make the decisions, we go along with it, that's how the Dmetrius family works. They had a boat and most of them were going to sail to sea and meet up with "The Smith" that way, anybody who might have had the chance to jump off, wouldn't have much of a chance of making it to shore. They had their boat loaded with weapons of sort, knives, arrows, etc. I was one of the few to stay behind. Lulu, and Frederick stayed behind with me, telling them that we would keep guard. But we didn't, after they were far enough out that they couldn't see us anymore, we ran. The three of us ran off, the only crime we had committed that night was stealing two horses, one for Frederick and one for Lulu and I. Lulu was sixteen, I was nineteen and Frederick was thirty-nine.
It still is a shame that out of all twenty-nine of us Dmetrius's only three of us had any common sense. Even the children ten and up did, though there weren't many of them. Lulu was in charge of taking care of the only baby while her mother was gone. Hilda, was the baby's name, and as much as Lulu had wanted to bring her with us, Frederick insisted that she leave it. I remember that she was so upset, claiming that Hilda deserved better than a criminal for a mother, and I remember feeling sorry for Lulu at the time.
So we left the village, we went very far, as far as our horses could muster. We had no idea how the ambush had gone, nor did we want to know. We were planning on changing our identities. We would keep our first names, but Lulu and I would be Frederick's children and our last name would be changed to Thistle, Frederick Thistle, Lulu Thistle, and Will Thistle. A nature last name was always a good way to go.
But things didn't happen as easily and they should have. The day after we arrived in the village we would be living in, something terrible and unexplainable happened to Lulu.
At first we didn't pay much attention to it, she just repeatedly washed the horses, over and over, never stopping, we thought she was nervous about something, we tried talking to her but she only shrugged it off. But we couldn't take it any longer, by the next day, the horses's skin was irritated, we asked her to stop and she through a fit, kicked over buckets of water, screeched wildly and scared the horses willy-nilly, Frederick and I tried to calm her down, but her pupils filled her eyes, her fingernails and teeth grew sharp, and she went on a rampage. She slaughtered the horses in ten, sickening minutes, with her bare hands in front of our eyes. Frederick told me to go, that he would handle it, I refused to leave, but regretted it afterward, she slaughtered Frederick too, quickly, at least, the man hadn't felt any pain. But I knew she would come after me next, so I decided to run, but she didn't chase me, didn't even try to, instead she started ripping herself apart, thrashing wildly out of control. I'm a grown man and I still have nightmares about it.
After she had killed herself, and there was a bloody mess so sickening, I almost threw up, I had no idea what I was going to do next. I grieved for days. But I finally decided on going back to the village, there I had discovered that what had happened to Lulu had happened to every other Dmetrius female in my family, my mother, my sister, my cousins, my aunts, my grandmother, they were all gone, just as Lulu and Frederick were. But what puzzled me was why only it had only happened to the females. I learned from my brother the entire story.
They went to the boat, things had gone well, they had many riches and every passenger had been killed. Well, all but one. Her name was Bessie Smith, she was the daughter of the man who owned the boat, she had jumped overboard without anyone knowing and swam away, she didn't make it to shore, though, a fisherman rescued her-he later became her husband-she knew who we were and informed the authorities, of course she had no evidence so they didn't really believe her, so she went and seen an old woman named Emidia. She was a witch, and Bessie got her to put a curse on the Dmetrius family. The curse had affected Lulu even though she hadn't been a part of the killing.
So I know have reached the end and am able to inform you on the curse.
Physical Appearance: Pupils have grown to cover the entire coloured part of the eye, fingernails and teeth sharpen into claws and fangs, skin becomes pale, body looks demonic
Other: super human strength occurs, super human hearing developes
Ending: Rips self apart, creating their own demise
Time span of rage fit: two hours max.
Warning signs: obsessive, repeated tasks
Chances of survival: Bystanders-75%--if they flee quick enough
Person with curse-0%--unfortunate, but unavoidable
People who can by infected by curse: Female Dmetrius family members only
If I thought my hands were trembling before, it was nothing compared to how much they were trembling now. I set the book down and looked at the clock.
Was my grandmother home? I hoped she wasn't, but aside from that, I was also panicking from what I'd just read.
What exactly did it mean? Was it true? Would that happen to me? Or Leona? Was it as bad as it seemed? Was it even the same Dmetrius family?
Questions filled my mind, but no answers were available. I knew of only one person at the moment who had them.
