Foo Fighters live at Koengen, Bergen June 11th 2008. Dave Grohl is a hell of a showman. Queens of the Stone Age warmed up, but the soundcrew ruined their performance. Still a memorable day, though.
Honestly, I have no idea of what. I've seen these things floating around on eBay, and came across these three for pretty cheap months ago, but I cannot seem to find a manufacturer for these figures.
They are hollow plastic with basic articulation (think 1980's action figures). The sculpting on the muscles is actually quite nice, and the Gi worn by Ryu, Ken, and Akuma aren't bad.. facial sculpts on the other hand aren't the greatest, though Akuma is surprisingly acceptable.
I couldn't even find a date of manufacture on them anywhere, but my guess would be 1996 or so.. whenever Alpha 2 actually came out in the arcades.

These aircraft can be found at the Virginia Beach Airport in Virginia, USA. That private facility includes the Aviation Institute of Maintenance, Military Aviation Museum, and the Fighter Factory.

The rich heiress of a datapad fortune, Buffy set out on her own to travel the galaxy—and often ran headfirst into combat. Along the way she gained a one-of-a-kind plasma blade, a massive jewel, and a loyal spouse. Just don’t call her by her real name!
Visited again the place where i found the big red ants last weekend to take some new shots. And again i noticed that these red ants automaticly pose in defensive position when i come near with my camera. That's a great possibility to get a great shot in the first moment. After they noticed my presense they usually don't do that again.
Not easy to take a macro shot of them. While i'm focussing there are also a lot of them on the ground and i don't want to get them in my clothes ;)

On a few acres of mountaintop in northeastern Pennsylvania in Schuylkill County, far from the big city lights that normally would be associated with the “sweet science”, sits a very important site in the history of boxing. Here Muhammad Ali, arguably the greatest fighter of all time, built a training camp near Deer Lake. He called it “Fighter’s Heaven” and trained here for many of his epic battles.
Ali first came to Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania in the early 1970’s to train at Pollack’s Mink Farm in Deer Lake. Bernie Pollack, who was involved in the fight game, was introduced to Ali by Gene Kilroy, a local native and prominent member of the Champ’s entourage. Ali liked the area and purchased the land up Sculps Hill Road in 1972, where he proceeded to build the training camp of his dreams. Ali, himself, hiked the land determining what exactly should be built and where.
Over time, the rustic camp grew to include some eighteen various buildings. Ali built a large log gym, dining hall, bunkhouses for sparring partners, a small mosque where he would pray daily, and small individual cabins for members of his staff and also for the many special guests that always seemed to show up. In a courtyard situated near the gym and the dining hall, a huge outdoor stone fireplace was built that became a favorite gathering spot for camp residents and visitors alike. Staff members would gather here at night with a roaring fire, stars filling the clear night sky, to enjoy the special camaraderie they shared. Many people associated with Ali recall that their fondest memories were the times spent at Deer Lake. Although now obstructed by grown trees, the courtyard once had a commanding view of the surrounding countryside. Ali had giant boulders trucked in and placed around the camp. His father, Cassius Clay, Sr. (a sign painter by trade), painted on them the names of other famous boxers that Ali admired. The Champ got this idea from Archie Moore’s old California training camp, “The Salt Mine”, where Ali trained briefly early in his career.
The camp was like a small village and had a special excitement and vitality to it. It was also a magnet for the celebrities of the day. Tom Jones, Jim Brown, The Jackson Five, Andy Warhol, Isaac Hayes, Diana Ross, Howard Cosell, Dick Cavett, Flip Wilson, Kris Kristofferson, Dizzy Gillespie, Leroy Neiman, Doug Henning – they all came to Deer Lake to call on “The Greatest”. Former heavyweight champ Larry Holmes got his start there as Ali’s sparring partner. So did Tim Witherspoon and Eddie Mustafa Muhammad. When former welterweight champion Kid Gavilan was on hard times, Ali hired him to work at the camp.
