Bear problems

True, but their bacteria can beat up our bacteria, and take its lunch money.

Because they can be easily defeated by mice armed with nothing more than mirrors.

And, we have countermeasures for both of those. They make good boots.... and Cereal bowls

My new (to me) daily beater, a 2011 Ford Mustang, 3.7 liter V6, with 305 HP (or 227.4 KW, for you metric folks).

Now that is a pity. I would have canceled any and all engagements to have heard him play

Damn. I remember when he collaborated with Bono and U2 for one track (which was released as a single) on U2's "Rattle and Hum" album, back in 1988. RIP BB.

I'm sure that most here know know of Jay Leno as the long time host of the Tonight Show, and may even know of his car collection. Well, he has an entire Youtube page were he showcases some of his collection, as well as interesting cars that belong to his acquaintances and fans. Here's a sample, a slick "restomod" 1968 Camaro that belongs to comedy star Tim Allen. Enjoy!

This montage of action images contains some memorable shots. Especially the one where they captured a 16" round leaving the muzzle of one of the USS Wisconsin's guns: see them all here: http://imgur.com/a/LAdE3?

Mary Lee was reported to be less than one half mile offshore this morning, or about 12 miles southeast of my home. To quote the local Newspaper: A 3,500-pound great white shark moving up the East Coast came less than a half mile from the Jersey Shore on Sunday morning before heading farther back out to sea. The nonprofit group OCEARCH's shark tracker showed Mary Lee roughly 700 meters off the coast of Toms River around 6:45 a.m. this morning. But the shark didn't stick around there for long. Less than a half hour later, the shark pinged about one and three quarter miles off the shore. A ping is registered with the group when the shark's dorsal fin breaks through the water, transmitting a signal that provides an estimated location. In the last 24 hours, the shark has traveled nearly 75 miles, according to the group's tracker. OCEARCH put a tracking device of Mary Lee in Cape Cod in 2012. Follow Mary Lee's movements on OCEARCH's shark tracker.

Great white sharks off the Jersey shore are not all that rare. They prefer water temperatures from 54 to 75 degrees. But your ability to track one or even follow one on Twitter is unique. And Twitter lit up Thursday morning when @MaryLeeShark was found to be just 10 miles off the coast of Wildwood. The shark's latest pings continue to indicated a northerly course up the Jersey shore, often less than 10 miles from the coast. The most recent ping occurred at 7:43am Friday, placing Mary Less less than five miles off the southeast tip of Long Beach Island. Since Mary Lee is swimming through our coverage area, The Press reached out for comment on how the shark is liking the South Jersey coastal waters. So @MaryLeeShark: What's your impression of the South Jersey shore? Liking the 55 degree water? Trying to beat the Memorial Day crowds? — Dan Skeldon (@ACPressSkeldon) May 8, 2015 My, Dan. Aren't you persistent? Gotta swim, but promise to catch you later. -;() https://t.co/6TTFT1AJ1R — Mary Lee the shark (@MaryLeeShark) May 8, 2015 Mary Lee, a 3,456-pound female great white shark, has traveled almost 20,000 miles since she was tagged off Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in September 2012. OCEARCH, a nonprofit group that researches great whites, placed a tracker on Mary Lee that will emit a ping each time the shark’s dorsal fin surfaces above the ocean. Over the last month, Mary Lee has made steady progress northward up the East Coast of the United States. In early April, the 16-foot long shark was off North and South Carolina. Earlier this week, she was lurking just off Assateague Island, off the Delmarva Peninsula. In the last 24 hours, Mary Lee moved north, paralleling the Delaware coastline about 10 miles offshore. Then came five pings early Thursday morning, as Mary Lee zigzagged about 10 to 15 miles east of Cape May and Wildwood. Just after noon on Thursday, the latest ping placed the shark about 15 miles due east of Avalon. The current water temperature off of South Jersey is 56 degrees, just at the lower end of the shark’s preferred range. Currently, over 14,700 people follow @MaryLeeShark on Twitter, with almost 5,000 new followers since the shark entered New Jersey waters Thursday morning.

alphasim 3ds models
Fubar512 replied to jeanba's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I looked into the (then) Alphasim freeware models back in 2008 and 2009, and found most of them to be quite low-poly. In fact, I recall getting another modeler involved in this (IIRC, it was Fastcargo), and he came to the same conclusion, that they were potentially more work to finish, then if one had built them from scratch. The list, though, was no where near as long back then, as all they had for freeware models were the F-86 and possibly the F-117. They also offered a (finished) Kuznetsov and Su-33 model combo for FS2004. We do have Marcelo's Kuznetsov model that will soon be out, as soon as it escapes from the paint shop. -
It's not the years.......it's the mileage.

Wrench, the DAT may have released a Greyhound, but Skatezilla had one done, first, back in 2007-2008. Trust me on this. Also, the C-2 only superficially resembles the E-2. It has a shorter nose, and a much wider fuselage than the Hawkeye.
