I'm building an ANE. In one of my calls into native code, there's an object that gets created, and I'd like to be able to keep that in memory to reference in a future call.
I thought I could could do this by creating a pointer to the object, and then passing that pointer to FRESetContextNativeData() as in the example below:
FREObject storeData(FREContext ctx, void* funcData, uint32_t argc, FREObject argv[])
char* data = "testing...";
FRESetContextNativeData( ctx, &data );
return getFREString(data);
FREObject retrieveData(FREContext ctx, void* funcData, uint32_t argc, FREObject argv[])
char* data;
FREGetContextNativeData(ctx, (void**)&data);
return getFREString(data);
This doesn't seem to work however. At the end of retrieveData(), data
points to a bunch of randomness. What gives?

Like someone mentioned, given his history, to us it might not be a huge accomplishment or look like something but for him to get up from a KD and survive it's huge. Put yourselves in his shoes. He was in survival mode in the 9th (obviously) but you can't deny he opened up in the 10th and even staggered Truax.
I think Truax was a decent win. |

This July I took a fun-filled trip to the Catalan capital of Barcelona on behalf of the Catalan Tourist Board. Over the last twenty-two years, since hosting the Olympic and Paralympic games in 1992, Barcelona has become one of the most accessible cities in the world and continues to become even more accessible every year. With facilities for disabled people ranging from accessible museums and art galleries to assistance with getting in and out of the sea on some of the city's most glorious beaches, Barcelona really has it all. During my whirlwind two-day trip, I visited some of the best sights that the city has to offer, as well as some that were a little further afield, in the regions of Igualada, Penedès and Sitges.
After arriving bright and early on a sunny Monday morning, my first port of call was my fully accessible accommodation at MIC's Sant Jordi. Made up of 32 fully adapted apartments, all the apartments on offer at MIC's Sant Jordi come with electric beds, adapted bathrooms with rails for smooth transfers and all the mod-cons, such as TVs, DVD players and floor height alarms that you could want or need. With an adapted swimming pool, gym and physiotherapist, the MIC's Sant Jordi really does cater to your every need and I felt sure it would be a great place to head back to after a long day exploring what Barcelona has to offer.
For our first day of adventures, the travel agency Barcelona Special Traveler provided our transportation, meaning we were able to transfer from MIC's Sant Jordi to Barcelona's most iconic building, the Sagrada Familia with ease. Although Gaudi's monumental church still isn't finished over 100 years after it was first begun, it is still Catalonia's most imposing and stunning building. Visitors with limited mobility can access the Temple of the Sagrada Familia via two entrances, and although not all areas of the temple are accessible, particularly the towers, which are too narrow for wheelchair users, every effort has been made to make the temple as user-friendly as possible. The temple also has two accessible toilets and a number of provisions have also been made for visitors with sensory impairments, including tactile tours, which feature samples of Gaudi's architectural shapes and textures, audio tours and an audiovisual room. A visit to the Sagrada Familia is a must for any visitor to Barcelona and it's a great place to come back to again and again as there's so much to see and it's always being added to.
Getting to and from the Sagrada Familia is also made easy by Barcelona's brilliantly accessible transport system. 80% of the metro system is now fully accessible, while 100% of the buses have ramps so you can hop on and off as you please.
Next though, it was time to head off to see one of Gaudi's other great buildings, the Casa Milà, La Pedrera. Casa Milà has worked hard over the past few years to make Gaudi's work accessible to everyone and they've included an impressive array of sensory experiences, which are woven throughout the exhibition and are also used in lectures and seminars that take place at the house. Induction loops, braille signs and accessible toilets are also available, ensuring that everyone's accessibility needs are met. Gaudi's style really is a unique experience, and being able to handle pieces of the architectural material really brings his work to life and shows you what an amazing vision he had.
After all that architecture and art though, it was definitely time for lunch, so we headed for the rooftop restaurant at the Museu d'Historia de Catalunya. Accessible via a large lift and ramp, Restaurant 1881 offers visitors a taste of traditional Catalan cuisine; all served up with stunning views across the city, what more could you want?
Fully refreshed and rested by our tasty Catalan meal, we were now ready to get stuck into some more of what Barcelona has to offer. In order to get to our next destination, we hopped on the tourist bus, which offers audio guides in 11 languages, as well as an induction loop upon request. Fully accessible, the tourist bus is a great way to get out and explore the city and an excellent way to get to some of the top tourist destinations. We decided to get off opposite the Municipal Sports Centre, which is home to Barcelona's outdoor Olympic swimming pool and offers stunning views over the city, as does the Montjuic cable car, which is fully accessible for wheelchair users and has received certification for its efforts. With panoramic views over Barcelona, the cable car takes you up to the top of Montjuic where the views are equally stunning and well worth the journey.
After a quick look around the historic Montjuic Castle, we tucked into some tasty tapas, before travelling back to MIC's Sant Jordi for the night so that we'd be ready to take on all the adventures that tomorrow had to offer!
Our second day in the region began bright and early at 6am when we were driven to L'Anoia 80km away, by the travel company Viajes 2000. On arrival at L'Anoia it was time to take part in an activity I never thought I'd get to experience and was quite frankly a bit nervous about, a ride in a hot air balloon! Despite my nerves, this was an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and not one I was going to pass up. Camins de Vent offer hot air balloon flights across Catalonia for both disabled and non-disabled guests. The baskets of Camins de Vent balloons are specially adapted with a door that opens so that your wheelchair can be pushed straight in and secured. The basket also features two hydraulic height-adjustable seats for customers who are not able to stand. Once I was securely strapped in, the hot air balloon took off into the blue sky and we set off on a one-hour trip around L'Anoia, which gave us a bird's-eye view of some of the most stunning landscapes that Catalonia has to offer. It really was an amazing experience and I felt totally safe in the capable hands of the Camins de Vents staff.
Once we had safely landed - pretty gently I must say! - it was time to head to our next destination, Jean Leon's Cellar. While most wine cellars are usually inaccessible to disabled people, mainly because they're often underground and only accessible via staircases, Jean Leon's was built with full accessibility in mind and gives disabled people the chance to access a site they are usually excluded from. Located in the luscious Penedes region, between the mountains and the sea, and famous for winemaking, Jean Leon's Winery is on one floor and is accessible via a ramp so you can tour it in your wheelchair. The site also has accessible toilet facilities and visitors can take a tour of the vineyards and learn how the wine is produced, and of course enjoy a few samples along the way!
After a relaxing and interesting tour, we said goodbye to Jean Leon's and set off for Sitges, 37km away. Our destination was the Hotel San Sebastian Playa, which looks out onto the sparkling Mediterranean Sea and the soft sands of Sant Sebastià beach. Eating lunch on the terrace was a real treat, on what was shaping up to be a very relaxing and sunny day. After indulging in some fresh seafood and paella though, it was time to hit the beach for a quick dip and some sun bathing. Catalonia has many beaches that are accessible to disabled people, with roll-in changing rooms and staff on hand to help you in and out of the water via amphibious chairs. We decided to visit La Barra Beach, which also has accessible toilets and footbridges so that wheelchair users can get from the shore to the sea, but there are accessible beaches all along Barcelona's coastline, so there are plenty of different options to choose from depending on where you are in the area.
After visiting La Barra and having a dip in the warm waters of the Mediterranean, our fun-filled Barcelona trip had officially come to an end. After experiencing some very literal highs, it was sad to say goodbye to this truly accessible city and everything that it has to offer. Barcelona really has built upon its Paralympic legacy and it is hands down, the most accessible European city that I've ever visited. With so much to see and do and so many facilities on offer to disabled people, I'm sure it won't be long until I'm back to see some more of what Barcelona and Catalonia has to offer.

Purchasing Zen

I'm very annoyed. Playing this game a while ow, dipping in and out. Decided today to purchase the Advanced Heavy Cruiser, Excelsior class, because I hate the regular Heavy Cruiser I have. I envisioned simply having to buy them on the STO site... no, I'm redirected then told I have to buy Zen points. (charge Zen? Wtf?)
Ok, but then it turns out that there is a conversion rate... (started to get pissed at this point, unnecessarily confusing). Ok, eventually I settle on getting 2000 Zen points, for 18 Euro. Good stuff! Moneybrokers etc goes handily enough, get a message saying my money is debited, now to buy me some ship!
I can't.
Seriously, wtf. You have my money, then you review? How long do I have to wait? Had I known this I wouldn't have bothered purchasing anything.
Very annoyed.

Yosi Samra Midsummer Fold-Up Flats51
Big Toe Dilema...These are absolutely beautiful in person, hands down! The quality of the leathers used, the subtle blush toned rose/pink color is perfect! I want to love this shoe SO bad but I'm still up in the air. I am pretty much a standard 7 1/2 shoe in just about everything so in this shoe, because there were no half sizes I ordered a size 8. They fit comfortably. Snug but not tight. Seems to be perfect EXCEPT that immediately when I looked down at my feet, in my horror I saw that on both feet my toenails on my big toes was making the leather stick up! I took the shoes off and checked to see if my toenails needed trimmed - they did not and I don't keep them on the longer side. I don't believe sizing up to a 9 would be the answer as I think they would be too big. This is my first pair of Yosi Samra flats so I have no idea if this is normal although I'm going to say NO? I even (without pointing out the obvious# asked my husband what he thought of my new shoes and he immediately #of course!) said, your big toes are making the leather stick out! Can anyone else provide feedback on this issue....I'm thinking these may have to go back.

Virginia won't be wearing their usual blue home jerseys Saturday night. They won't even be wearing their orange alternates.
For 30 minutes, things were not going according to plan for Virginia, but the Cavaliers used a strong second half to put away Kent State 45-13. Here are the biggest takeaways from the game:
Virginia takes on Kent State Saturday in their last non-conference game of the season. Here's what you need to know:

With Frazier's defense at 3B, I wonder if he could still handle SS.
I don't think the Reds would have given him that contract if there was help in the immediate future coming from the minors. I don't think he will be traded.
I've been as hard on Brandon as anyone about the C. Trent situation, but never in a million years would I use that as a basis to trade him.
Now, say Cano leaves the Yankees and they're looking for a replacement. Do I knock on their door and see if they're interested? Absolutely I would. Brandon is a good player, but he's declining and overpaid. In a few years I don't think this deal will look good at all. If I'm Walt, I at least explore the market. But I think there's a 0% chance of that happening, because to do so would admit that the signing was a mistake in the first place.
Trade Phillips? And play whom? There is not a plausible prospect until you get to Billings in the rookie league where you have Avain Rachal who looks really, really good. He is all of 19. He is in the rookie league which signifies nothing (although his numbers are impressive). Above that failed-phenom filled league there is not a second baseman worth a second look. HRod has an iron glove and a BABIP driven bat in the lower levels that turned toothpick once AAA pitching and the lords of reality bit his BABIP pumpkin into a normal number. The FA list reveals more costly options like Cano who is not coming to GAB. Utley is 34 and will likely cost as much or more as BP if the Phils don't extend him. Infante? Johnson? Keep Phillips.
I see what you are saying, but I think at a certain point you can't just keep BP because he's slightly better than the alternatives. If 2B is a black hole league wide, the smart teams will just plug in a replacement-level player, save money, and look to invest elsewhere.
I gather from this that the view of some is that Phillips is slightly better than a replacement level alternative. I find this to be a mind boggling statement. The guy is driving runs at a very high rate this year. High rate -- not just a high number but a high percentage. He is still a gold glove candidate. He was the NL starting all star second baseman.
It continues to amaze me how everybody just applauds Frazier, hitting .230, Mesoraco hitting .690 OPS or thereabouts, and folks want to get rid of Brandon Phillips.
The Reds need some veterans like Phillips. Even if his performance isn't at its peak. This isn't AA ball, it isn't all about potential high upsides. You need some guys who have been around the block and have shown they can play over a sustained period.

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
The Reds tried Frazier at 2B. It was an utter disaster.
For whatever reason, he just flat out looked confused with everything on that side of the bag. His reactions were slow and his footwork was terrible. He looked like he was out there trying to learn to throw left handed and had to think through every last motion from his toes to his hand to make a play.
IIRC, Frazier struggled with footwork at 2b and was deemed unlikely to succeed there.
I had forgotten that. At this point, it sounds like that shift would take a lot more work than we can afford.
It reminds me of Aaron Boone. Actually, Boone isn't a horrible comp for Frazier in general. Boone had a bit more speed and Frazier has a little more power and swing & miss, but in general they're fairly similar types of player.
And Aaron didn't really work at 2B either.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
I definitely had Boone in mind when I brought up the 2B possibility, as well as the guys a lot of teams in recent years have converted into second basemen as WonderfulMonds touched on like Skip Schumaker, Matt Carpenter, Neil Walker, Daniel Murphy, etc. I think it would something worth trying...but it only matters if the Reds trade BP, which they 95% likely won't, so it's a moot point.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

The CCIF and it's members have recently focused on creating a common cloud taxonomy and ontology. I find it's starting to sound a lot like semantics, Cloud Semantics. We are in a sense defining what cloud computing is by describing it's "components" and their relationships to one another. One that is capable of expressing cloud computing and its subsequent parts in terms of a consensus data model.
So in this effort we may actually be defining a dynamic computing model that can, under certain conditions, be 'trained' to appropriately 'learn' the meaning of related cloud & infrastructure resources based on an common ontology / taxonomy. In a sense, we are talking about the Semantic Web applied to API's or more broadly, a unified cloud interface.
What is the Semantic Web and why does it matter for a unified cloud interface?
The Wikipedia describes the semantic web as "a vision of information that is understandable by computers, so that they can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, sharing and combining information on the web."
Why not apply those same philosophies to the underlying control structures of the web (i.e. the cloud) itself? A Semantic Cloud Infrastructure capable of adapting to a variety of methodologies / architectures and completely agnostic to any specific API or platform being described. A general abstraction that doesn't care if you're focusing on a platform (Google App Engine, Salesforce, Mosso etc), application (SaaS, Web2.0, email, id/auth) or infrastructure model (EC2, Vmware, CIM, etc).
I'm the first to point out there are other groups attempting a similar approach for web services (i.e. Liberty Alliance), systems management (i.e. DMTF / CIM, OASIS) and others (i.e. OpenID/OAuth). However, I feel all of these groups lack a true consensus of how to describe "all" the aspects of the cloud using a unified semantic ontology.
I've been very impressed by the work the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) has achieved with their Common Information Model (CIM). It could be a key aspect of our unified cloud interface efforts. However, one of the problems a lot of these system management standards are missing is any kind of usage outside of the traditional "enterprise" system management platforms or in the case of VMWare or Microsoft, they are simply limited to their own platforms - interoperable, but only if you're using our software.
The key drivers of a unified cloud interface (UCI) is "One abstraction to Rule them All" - an API for other API's. A singular abstraction that can encompass the entire infrastructure stack as well as emerging cloud centric technologies through a unified interface. What a semantic model enables for UCI is a capability to bridge both cloud based API's such as Amazon Web Services with existing protocols and standards, regardless of the level of adoption of the underlying API's or technology. The goal is simple, develop your application once, deploy anywhere at anytime for any reason.
The other benefit of a semantic model is that of future proofing. Creating a model that assumes we as an industry are moving forward and not making any assumptions on the advancements in technology by implementing a static specification based on current technological limitations but instead creating one that can adapt as technology evolves.
The use of a resource description framework (RDF) based language may be an ideal method to describe our semantic cloud data model. The benefit to these types of RDF based ontology languages is they act as a general method for the conceptual description or modeling of information that is implemented by actual web resources. These web resources could just as easily be "cloud resources" or API's. This approach will allow us to easily take an RDF-based cloud data model and adapt it within other ontology languages or web service formats making it both platform and vendor agnostic. In applying this approach we're not so much defining how, but instead describing what. What is cloud computing?
The next steps in enabling a unified future for cloud computing will be to create a working group focused on an open semantic taxonomy and framework. This group will investigate the development of a functional unified cloud interface implementation across several cloud and infrastructure providers. To this end, we have created a Google Code project at http://code.google.com/p/unifiedcloud/ The current time frame for the public unveiling of an initial functional draft UCI implementation, taxonomy and ontology will be April 2nd at the upcoming Wall Street Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum.
If you'd like to be a contributor to the UCI working group please get in touch with me directly. If you would like to be involved without joining the UCI Working Group, you are encouraged to review and comment on the working drafts as they become available. Updates will be posted to the Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum mailing list. Feedback from people & companies actually implementing the specifications will be especially valuable and appreciated.

Although these bulbs get quite hot they are a good solution if you are looking for ample amounts of light. -Incandescent or Fluorescent: We have combined all the fixtures that can use either a CFL or a standard incandescent bulb into one simple location so you can choose whether you would like a more traditional setup or an energy saving CFL configuration. -Xenon/Krypton: Much like their halogen counterparts are extremely bright bulbs with long lifespans that will use a Xenon or Krypton gas inside the bulb.

Other improvements
What the hell was up with the checkpoint system in TFU? It was atrocious – at one point, the game actually took us back to before a boss battle. It's possible that there are some cruddy checkpoints in TFU II, but we didn't encounter them. The checkpoints we did encounter were entirely reasonable, but we also didn't encounter them as often: TFU II doesn't kill you as much as the first game, and especially doesn't often kill you for bullshit reasons (we recall dying instantly in TFU with no discernable cause).
Above: The platforming still isn't great, but it's not horrible either. Pulling off air-dashes to cross this chasm is pretty satisfying
The enemy AI has been vastly improved – it's too bad this only brings it up to "acceptable" because the vast improvement is in comparison to the absolutely embarrassing AI in the first game. If you don't remember, you might have seen stormtroopers completely ignoring you when you were right next to them, or enemies diving off bridges, or even bosses that got stuck trying to figure out how to get to you.
Speaking of bosses, TFU II dumps the tedious Jedi battles and offers more interesting encounters that we won't spoil here. We will say, though, that one boss in particular has multiple stages, with each getting cooler than the last. Although the first part of the boss is kind of annoying, the subsequent sequences more than make up for it.
Above: This is not the mega-epic boss. That other boss is bigger than this
Finally, there are the two new powers. TFU II swaps out of the Lightning Shield power for Mind Trick. The Lightning Shield was kind of cool in the first game, but it doesn't hold a candle to Mind Trick. Now you have the hilarious option of getting enemies to fight each other or even dive right out through windows. The dialogue alone is worth it: Starkiller offers different quips to convince enemies to go against their will, and the enemy responses get quite amusing. The other addition is Force Fury, which is really an uninspired afterthought. It's just your standard "rage" meter that gets built up and once activated turns on hyper mode. We actually barely bothered to use it. Still, seeing Starkiller continuously toss two whirling lightsabers is pretty cool.
And yet…
Not everything in The Force Unleashed II is hunky-dory. All of the above tweaks take the clunky weak points of the original and smooth them over or trade them for something more fun. At the same time, that's what they are: small tweaks. Other than the Mind Trick power, not much has changed for toys to play with, especially since the dual lightsabers don't do anything other than look cool, at least in the middle of combat.
Above: Now why does this place look familiar? Hmm...
The backdrops to the action are mostly less imaginative than the first game. Cato Nemoidia is gorgeous, but other than that, there isn't much to match the majestic vistas of Kashyyyk or the ultra-alien flora of that world with the war-painted rancors. So we just don't see as much of the fantastic Star Wars universe, and unfortunately it seems we spend less time there. We didn't get an exact time on our playthrough, but TFU II feels slightly shorter than the first game, and the original was already a short game. This becomes a sticking point to carefully consider – did the length of the first game leave you feeling unsatisfied? We didn't have much of an issue with either game's length – but then if you only buy one game a month or whatever, it could matter quite a lot. The game does offer challenge modes, but they're also short and frankly not much fun.
Is it better than…?
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed? Yes. We realize we explained all of this already, but it is definitive that TFU II is a superior game. It plays better and looks better. Its story holds up to the quality of the original, and builds upon the relationships established earlier, deepening the complexities and raising new questions. Most importantly, the game is more fun.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow? No. Castlevania is more hardcore, which could make TFU II more appealing to those just wanting fun combat and epic boss battles, but it's hard to argue with Castlevania's deeper combat, more imaginative world, and generous length. TFU II's story is more interesting, though.
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West? No, but it's close. Both are story-driven action games. TFU II looks and plays with more confident polish and its story fits perfectly into a ridiculously deep universe (which isn't easy to do, we might add). Enslaved, however, also does a take on an existing story (Journey to the West) but goes in a wholly original direction. Its world isn't like anything we've seen before and its characters are downright amazing in their human emotions and nuanced interactions. We have to give the slight edge to Enslaved for being more daring, whereas TFU II plays it safe.
Just for you, Metacritic!
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II takes nearly every complaint we had about the original and fixes it or gives us something better. We finally feel like a proper, force-wielding one-man army. It's still short and doesn't take us on a truly grand tour of the Star Wars universe, but the storytelling holds up in quality and fits right in to the existing mythology.

Hi: 11° Lo:0°
PROJECTS which will improve the lives of residents in two Redditch wards are set to receive £34,000 funding.
Up to £20,000 is available for schemes in Central ward which will benefit older people, vulnerable people or the environment and a further £14,000 is on offer in Greenlands to boost intergeneration, residents' well being and learning together.
Voluntary or community groups in those areas with ideas which could cost around £2,000 to implement are being invited to discuss their scheme in front of a Community First Panel on Friday, December 7, between 10am and 12pm.
Each group will be given a 15 minute slot to tell the panel why their project is needed, which priority it meets and when it will start and finish.
Coun Rebecca Blake, ward member for Greenlands, met residents at Auxerre House at their weekly coffee morning to discuss the funding with them.
She said: "I know there are a number of good ideas for community action in the Greenlands ward, taking in Woodrow, Greenlands and Wirehill, yet the start up costs are often a barrier.
"I have been spreading the word there is funding available from the Community Development Foundation and I hope people will use the opportunity to bid for up to £2,000 as I would like to see the full £14,000 available used in the area.
"If people have a project for either bringing old and young together or helping well being or learning, I hope they will contact the Bromsgrove and Redditch Network (BARN), who are screening the initial bids, for more details."
Joe Julius, who organises the coffee morning at Auxerre House, added: "It was good to hear there is some funding available for Greenlands. Some of us are interested in using computers but have never used one so we are thinking about bidding for some lessons for the older people here."
To book a slot, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call Dot or Susan at BARN on 01527 60282 before Wednesday (December 5).

Dear Amy,
I am 40 years old and just tried my first Veggie Burger from you. I love the fact that it is not soy and is mostly mushrooms, nuts, and other vegetables. The crunchiness gives me a satisfaction that is better than a regular beef patty. I love them!
From Leslie
Dear Amy,
We have written you in the past to let you know how much we enjoy your foods. We recently tried your pizzas and must say that they are fabulous! Much better than the ones offered in any pizza parlors we have found here in Florida. Keep up the good work and keep on cooking!

Shoot either BBs or pellets in this nifty semi-auto pistol from Crosman. The T4 comes with two 8-shot circular clips that can hold either steel BBs (Never shoot steel BBs at metal objects!) or .177 pellets. BBs will go about 450 fps, while pellets will leave the muzzle around 430 fps.A sturdy polymer frame gives this pistol a durable finish and a textured pistol grip with finger grooves for added control. The backstrap of the grip is a lever that's the piercing mechanism for the 12-gram CO2 Powerlet (which is stored in the grip).

Accurate and Fun
December 8, 2014
Copy of a Glock Pistol. Composite exterior. Light compared to most air pistols its size. 8 clip circular magazine functions well. It is a different shape than the majority of Umarex type 8 clips but extra magazines are available especially for this gun. Seems to have excellent velocity and accuracy .Open sights are easy to use and seem spot on.No Co2 leaks. I have about 15 air pistols .this is one of my favorites andd an excellent buy. Moderate tigger pull but easy to predict.
Pros:Cost ,Light and accurate and hard hittingCons:Havent found any |

Your average otf knife is not the knife to depend on for solid lock-up. Without solid lock-up it's worthless.
Folding auto's are the preferred knife to carry on the average day.
Sure a Micro-Tech is reasonably trustworthy with good quality and would probably be my choice in a otf if a otf is a must , which it never is.
Since i bought a Piranha Excalibur I have been carrying it all the time.
Obviously a Sand-Shark is not to be scratched up and dinged so that is out of the choices.
I would never carry mine anyway.
I totally trust my Excalibur to open and lock-up strong ~ enough to penetrate the average leather jacket easily.
Successful torture tests on it are amazingly common.
It uses sears inside that are bigger than that of a Sand-Shark.
It's the knife I carry always.
It's a lot faster than a folder, even a Dalton is slower coming out and in.
Knives I wouldn't carry (otf's) Infidel is weak and light...Harkins Triton is a piece of crap... any of these knives fail to open with a bit too much oil dropped on the blade.
Even micro-techs don't function if a drop too much is used on/in it.
I flooded my Excalibur (of which I have 3) Black, Silver and Desert Camo with Militec and Mobil 1.
I mean that I submerged it and the Excalibur still opend hard every time.
Just as laser sharp as any Micro-Tech too. It's like a razor.
Bright chrome mirror blades are standard which also makes it stand out among the rest.
Try one, you won't be disappointed.
Check out PVK knives videos on breakdown and torture testing.
You'll be sold. I know there are better knives but in the (otf) category they all seem like novelties (even Micros) compared to the strength of a Piranha Excalibur.
They don't break the bank either.
An old Halo I have is the only knife besides a Sand-Shark that I trust to carry ...+ Excalibur.
Please excuse the ramble.
