  1. Here's the chief's assessment from techsupportforum-anyone to confirm? As it goes, looks like i'm in for a GPU-RMA since my 5700 is only 5 months old. Then from me: J-k's most recent response
  2. Any ideas on this .rar error? I've tried downloading the pack 3 times, and I continually get some file error. A few of you may remember seeing me in that server recently, which is doubly weird because my d/l used to work-then quit-so I tried for the d/l here. Still no joy.
  3. I take great pride in my illustrator prowess.
  4. I did it again, it's what a week of being ill can do for a less-played game. Finally got that platinum.
  5. Google wandering this AM found the following site: MITopencourseware No degree, but courses, notes, videos, etc.
  6. Not yet. It's been a busy summer and parenting sucks up the rest. Now that the youth is back in school, I may find some time to gather a few spartans to give it a run on the server, but only once I'm not ill (from working too hard, I guess).
  7. We did have a boat, but no divers. We do have a camera and an ROV (if boss gives the OK), which we'll deploy next year.
  8. I've been gone the bulk of the summer, working on two different fishery acoustic projects. Most recently myself and another conducted exploratory surveys of several Newfoundland lakes for a larger inter-provincial project next year. Our goal was to get a general sense of boat-launch access to these remote lakes and reservoirs, and to 'feel out' the lakes themselves as appropriate candidates for fisheries acoustics. We generally had a successful trip, with this curve ball in one of the reservoirs. We *think* the bottom contour of the lake in general indicates a previous sub-arctic bog, common in the area (rather than a large lake made larger by a power-dam 50 years ago). Bubbles? Methane gas vent in a bog? What in the world would it be, since we're generally positive it wasn't fish. The skewed echo further below indicates an echo track rising in the water column relatively rapidly.
  9. I know there's some discussion at PR about incorporating the Brit DLC instead of continuing their own model dev. FYI-I'm gone for work again tomorrow through Friday. Back next weekend.
  10. A few new highlight reels are up on the PR website Part1 N.B. PR-ARMA2 will require ARMA_OA to play. Part2 Panther and Jackal (any of y'all know these vehicles first hand?) Part3 Soldiers and Sound. Talk about detail! Part 4 PR Island, extras, menus.
  11. Thanks MH6/Yankee; that's the one. I'll try to poof it up in illustrator, unless you have a higher res image? I'm popping out a stack of targets via adobe and (shh!) the office photocopier for a youth shooting program here with nil budget.
  12. Does anyone have a clean 50-yd smallbore target, NRA-sanctioned copy, that they could scan and post? Preferably one of their single bulls-eye targets rather than the multi.
  13. I finally found some solid info from the USDA extension services. They support agri research and other home-related bits. The two forms most useful thus far: Oregon Cornell Ext. Virginia Ext. For Trellis types in similar plants: Grapes Blackberries Raspberries
  14. I didn't get a photo yet, but I found a use for one spool of my antique tarred marline (from a defunct New York chandlery, early 20th cent). Something like this. After identifying a couple curve-ball plants in our yard at the botanical garden I asked about currant cultivation, and the feller' explained it about the same as one would propagate grapes or other berry-producing plants. I used evenly-spaced stakes and several crossings of this marline about 12" apart on the vertical to 4'. I weaved or lashed the younger currant branches to this frame in a fan-like pattern. I cut anything that stuck too far out perpendicular, as well as a number of older branches. It looks far smarter than the chaotic shrub from before. One more black currant plant to go, but it's a beastly bush. Next for the currant use will be to make a Jam fit for a Queen
  15. Are currant shrubs really supposed to be small little things? No growing a larger, mature plant to produce more berries? Those in my yard have a substantial root ball emerging from the earth, very hardy plant, so it seems incongruous to whack off all but a few stems. If that's the deal though, then that's what'll need doing tomorrow.
