Any thoughts on B.H.? Who could he share parts with?
His face is hilarious. He looks like an insane granny.

My MOTUC top wants (POST NYCC 2014):
Filmation:Twiggets - Red Knight - Granita - Hunga the Harpy - Dylamug - Vultak - Enchantress - Kothos - General Tataran - Evil Seed (Filmation artichoke) - Masque - Sybiline (with a pack-in Gorgon) - Melaktha
Others: Despara - toy version of Catra - Veena - Master Sebrian - Drissi - Caz - Andros - Sorceress (NA comics version)- Kex Queen - Lodar
OH NO!! The name alone makes me hope we never have to revisit this nightmare. Butthead and Slushhead aren't the kind of toys that were made to help foster a child's imagination.
I just looked at the pictures again. *shudder* NA He-Man is such a bad childhood memory. Please no, never again!!
I don't think any of the NA's should share parts with the regular figures. I think they should have new molds and share with each other like the females will.

Always remember the dark days of 2004 with no new MOTU in sight...
Only 4 more that need updating:
Peekablue, Perfuma
I really didnt like the Mutant figures so much. They looked like muppets on way too many steriods. Some were ok like Karate and Optikk and Lizzor. But the others were horrible, so I hope they make them more like the Cartoon.
It's your place for Freedom of Speach for everything MOTU, POP, TMNT, , Horror, Wrestling, DC and Batman, and all other properties that are cool.

My feedback threadhttp://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...or-Brian-Ozone
This is one figure I can live without.
I could live without Butthead, if they made him look more like his cartoon version, he might come out looking okay - but the figure is rather ugly and not that memorable looking.
He's not at the top of my wishlist, but I'm sure Mattel and the 4HM can whip this fellow into shape. He could greatly benefit from a real name, of course, because "Butthead" is just silly. (Yes, even for MOTU.)
I wouldn't care if Mattel didn't give him a neck extension piece. I think he should be a bit more like Ram Man in his tactics.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Whiplash77 you have single handedly destroyed MOTU for me

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.
Butthead - yep, that's a name to take seriously...Optik yes, Butthead? Less so.....
I think I'm in the "I could make it through life without one...." camp.
I don't think Butthead should share parts with anyone...except the He-Man biceps.
Sure you can. Everyone was so used to Filmation's version of He-Man and the original MOTU figures, that nothing else MOTU related couldn't measure up, simply because they weren't the most famous incarnations. NA is seen by some fans as "automatically bad" because of this. But now MOTUC is phasing NA into the same line as MOTU, so the whole skinny figure aspect is history now.
NA was around when all the great 80's lines died off natural deaths.NA as a whole has some decent stuff but it ventures into crass territory far too much. It just represents a period to me when toy culture really went downhill in general with all the noisy, shiny spring loaded neon stuff.

I'd like to have the "classic" look. seriously.
I would like to learn more. seriously
I could live without ever seeing this figure again.

I only want it if it comes with a Beavis mini-figure.
I hope that NA characters get new parts... IF Butthead (huh huh) were to be made by reusing parts I see Mattel using:
-He-ro's loincloth and lower legs
-Trap Jaw's Upper legs
-Trap Jaw's/Kronis Arms
-New shoulders
-Hordak Torso (New armor)
-New head and helmet (New Extendable neck accessory could reuse Mekaneck's if MEK is made before BH.)
As long as his name is not Bea-Visand...
FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Now I need a Crita!! Crita is to Mara what Evil Lyn is to Teela. If we ARE getting Mara, then we NEED Crita.
Who would win in this fight...? Ram Man vs Butthead.
LOL that would be fun.
B.H is a horrible figure but he was cool in the toon. Done by the 4H he'd totally rock. To be honest I want to see every NA character get made. It doesn't matter if the figure was awful in the past. I am sure the 4H will change it in a good way.
Between all of the ram people (Ram Man, Rattlor and Butthead), I'd say Ram Man. Ram Man puts his entire body into a ram. Rattlor's "ram" is more of a snake strike. Butthead is like Rattlor's snake strike, but his head is armored.
I didn't like the way BH looked in the cartoon...he was like a normal guy (albeit orange) rather than looking too mutant looking.

Do you know the actual theories of learning? A learning theory is an attempt to describe how people learn, helping us understand this inherently complex process.
Useful for key ideas in learning theory, though perhaps more a demonstration of someone's constructivist/connectivist thoughts on learning/teaching than a useful end product for others. (Constructiorism => constructionism).

Daniel Coste
The Junior Researchers Meeting allows early career applied linguists to present their research and network in an interactive and informal international environment. "Junior Researchers" include those working on their Master's and PhD theses, as well as those who have graduated within the last three years. At the conference, each paper session will have designated senior researchers as commentators to guarantee questions and discussion. The programme will also include workshops on various aspects of academic career, such as publishing and seeking for funding. The conference focuses on language use in digital environments within and across educational, academic, professional and everyday settings. Besides this conference focus, papers on other areas of applied linguistics are welcome. A paper may present also work in progress.

Opportunities for professional development
Here's what the US TESOL organisation reckons we should be doing - individual, community and societal strands (for the more ambitious)
This paper presents some of the difficulties of teaching languages, in particular English, in the context of LSP/LAP2 programmes in French universities. The main focus of this paper will be the importance of prosody, especially in English, as an area where these difficulties may be addressed. We will outline the various solutions that are currently being put into place as part of the Innovalangues project, a six-year international language teaching and research project headed by Université Stendhal (Grenoble 3), France. The project has substantial funding from the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research and its mission is to develop innovative tools and measures to help LSP/LAP learners reach B2 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL). The languages concerned are English, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and possibly French as a foreign language. Initially the project will be focusing on the needs of Grenoble's students, but the objective is to make the tools and resources developed freely available to the wider community. Oral production and reception are at the heart of Innovalangues. We believe, along with many other researchers, that prosody is key to comprehension and to intelligibility (Kjellin 1999a, Kjellin 1999b, Munro and Derwing 2011, Saito 2012), particularly given the important differences between English and French prosody (Delattre 1965; Hirst and Di Cristo 1998; Frost 2011). In this paper, we will present the particular difficulties inherent in teaching English (and other foreign languages) in the context of ESP/EAP3 in French universities and some of the solutions that we are implementing through this project (Picavet et al., 2012; Picavet et al 2013; Picavet and Frost 2014). These include an e-learning platform for which various tools are being developed, teacher training seminars focusing on prosody and the collection of data for research.

Volkswagen GTI Prices Paid and Buying Experience
2gtiguy Posts: 8Thanks! I smile every time I get in this car. And when I get out, I stop to take a minute to look at it, and I smile some more. I've tried to post a photo below. We'll see how that goes....
From The New Hotness"> -
geosam Posts: 18Love your car...That's exactly how I want mine, especially since I've never really liked Hufs or Detroit wheels. Unfortunately the Karthoums will make the price to steep for me. Was your car already equipped with the wheels? Did they have this car at the dealer or did you have to wait for months for them to find one just how you wanted it? Good Luck with your car!
George -
2gtiguy Posts: 8Hey George! Thanks, I love my car too. As far as the wheels go, they do push the price up, but a couple things helped to mitigate that for me. First, I was able to get the wheels at the catalogue cost, which was $329 per wheel I think. That's a lot less than the $2100 they want as an option on Edmunds or through the VW Build Your Own page. Second, since the car I wanted had every other feature I was looking for except these wheels, but it DID have the 18" Denvers on it, I just had them swap the Karthoums with the Denvers. Thing is, it took four days for the dealership to order the Karthoums, so I drove around on the Denvers until then. After the swap ,the dealer bought my Denvers back from me, which dropped the price of the Karthoums even more. In the end, I paid roughly $800 for the Karthoums. Not too shabby, and well worth it for the appearance, IMHO.
To answer your other question: I had to do an online inventory search to find this car with the options I was looking for. I pulled up a list of the 5 nearest VW dealerships and started looking through their selection. This was literally the only one with the options/color combination I wanted. Good luck to you. -
geosam Posts: 18Hey 2gtiguy, thanks for the info on your transaction with wheels. I think I will do something similar, however will probably stay with 17's. Yesterday I visited the dealer in my area and gave him all the info on what i wanted and he will get back to me when he finds the vehicle. I know I'll probably be compromising on something, maybe 2 dr instead of 4 dr. When I get this GTI, it will be my 8th GTI. I did notice on your pics that you have the navigation system. Can you actually play a DVD movie? and will it play while you drive?
Thanks, George -
2gtiguy Posts: 8You know, Geosam, I haven't even tried it. I'll give it a shot and report back.
On a separate note, I've had the ECU upgrade done (254hp now with 296 ft lbs of torque), and I got 31.9 MPG average coming and going on my 30 mile commute to work (probably a 70/30 mix of highway and city driving). Awesome. -
walid_gti Posts: 3Hey folks,
Here is the deal I got and I wanted to know what you guys think:
Manual Transmission
Bluetooth and Mats, nothing else.
15K/year and 3 year lease.
Sticker: $24,639
Paying $325 a month (for 35 months). No down payment, no taxes, dealer fees or any other fee. I paid nothing. Also, I am not paying the first months payment due to the college grad program they have. My money factor was 0.0006 (= 1.44% interest rate). I think I got a pretty decent deal. What do you guys think? -
geosam Posts: 18Here's my deal: 2 dr, UG, DSG, Sunroof, Bi-Xenon, Bluetooth. MSRP: $27,214.00
Dealer price: $25,618.00 + taxes, fees etc = 27,032.00.
Financed $25,164 @ 3.34% = $387 x 72 mo.
I think it was a fair deal, maybe could have gotten extra $500 on my trade in.
My eight GTI and first automatic, loving the DSG. Future upgrades: tint and
new wheels.

cjohngroove Posts: 1Hey everyone,
After long last, I have decided to bite the bullet and treat myself to a new car. My current search has led me to the 2010 VW GTI, and after having the opportunity to go on the road with one the other day, I am about 95% sure I want one. The only thing I'm uncertain about is the pricing and if I can reasonably push for any lower. Currently I'm looking at the following:
-2-door, cloth interior
-Bluetooth & Mats
I'm being priced $25.9K with another ~$1.8K or so TTL.
I'd appreciate any thoughts and hopefully looking forward to being a GTI owner! -

1st payment: $432.00
Cap cost reduction: $450.00
Mo payment with Cali (LA county taxes) = $431.60
Got it from LIVINGSTON VW in Woodland Hills, CA from the Internet dept. Very professional and very easy to deal with. Highly recommended
And just like bds231 said:
The dealers will tell you limited supply, no one wants to trade, that price is not feasable, etc etc etc
Do your research, walk in with a price you are willing to pay. Either they accept the deal or you walk and go to the next store!
Good luck all and happy driving!! -

ral2167 Posts: 642The thing is-- I leased a 2006 jetta-- 15k a year-- 3 years, and I didn't have to pay a dime when i returned it even tho the warranty only went to 36K. Do the oil changes-- rotate the tires-- don't drive like a maniac-- try not to have to park as close to the store as you can (door dings), and you'll do fine.

I mentioned that to him and told him that if ANYTHING went wrong after the 36mo/36K warranty expired, it would be on his dime. That is why I tried to convince him, to choose another manufacturer that has a 48mo/50K but he was DEADSET on the GTI.
To each his own.

jayrider Posts: 3,488I don't care how careful you drive---45k miles will need a set of tires at 40k and the next driver will benefit. In addition vw has cleverly left the major service for 40k miles -- just outside the warranty. Change all filters-oil-spark plugs-transmission fluid and filter etc. If you get out of the dealer for less than $600 consider yourself lucky. Add a set of tires and you've paid a nice price for a car you soon won't own. Of course if you stay at 39999k miles the major service is on them.

drummerboy7816 Posts: 1Finally decided on the 2010 GTI after a test drive. Best price I'm getting is this:
Car: 2010 GTI 4D w/ DSG, 18" wheels and mats
Price before taxes & fees = $25,816
Interest = 0% for 36 months
Out the door cost = $28.5K
Is this a good deal? I know the raw price is not, but it's at 0% APR.
Thanks! -
1stgti Posts: 2I really wanted to get a 2010 with just about all of the trimmings, but wasn't able to find one in white and 4 doors. 2011 are coming in. Here is the offer I received:
2011 4dr autobahn DSG
MSRP is $31,475
Offer is $30,133 plus tax, license, title and documentation fees.
Thumbs up or down? -
1stgti Posts: 2The problem is I'm getting just about every option available. The latest price is $30K + tax. 2011 - 4 door, DSG, AutoBahn (leather, sunroof, Navi, Xenon, Dynaudio, rear airbags), and rubber mats. Invoice is like $30,400. I can probably squeeze a couple of more hundred, but cut into their holdback. Thoughts?

When cooking steak, I have always been told groundnut oil is the best to use. But what difference does it make? Is it the best? And if it is the best, what's the next best?
For steaks I really prefer cooking butter instead of oils, I find that the flavor fits the meat better. |
I know nothing about cooking at all, but to the guy who said to only flip the steak once... Heston Blumenthal - owner of England's three-Michelin star "the Fat Duck" restaurant which was voted as the best restaurant in the world out of 50 by a respected list - who is basically a master of molecular gastronomy, said that you should flip the steak every 10 seconds (dozens of times) until done. And to the guy who said thermometers are good, but feeling is better, Heston said it's 100% about temperature and nothing about feel. Watch his video on how to cook a steak here: |
Whatever oil is in your pantry. Canola, vegetable, peanut, or even olive oil (just don't ever cook with extra virgin olive oil) is perfectly fine. If you're trying to get a crust on the steak, just follow a few simple guidelines:
If you like your steak a little more done, preheat an oven to 350F and sear the steak in an oven-safe pan (cast iron is my favorite). After flipping the steak place the entire pan in the oven and monitor temperature for doneness periodically with an instant read thermometer. Any quality, fresh oil is going to be fine for cooking. Don't allow your cooking oil to be exposed to light. This often means storing it in a cupboard or buying an opaque container. Exposure to light can cause oil to go rancid. Always close the oil container to prevent exposure to oxygen. Oil can oxidize and bring nasty flavors to your dishes. Don't overheat oil. That sulfury smell often associated with cooking is the result of burned cooking oil. It isn't supposed to smell that way and it brings bad flavors with it. You don't typically have to heat your burner beyond medium or med-high. If you're using a heavy vessel like cast iron just give it time to heat over the burner before cooking in it. Most of all, steak is delicious. Eat a lot of it! The more you cook it, the more you'll refine your method of cooking. Finally, don't be afraid to cook that steak over some charcoal. In my opinion, it's the only way to fly. Good luck! |
In New Orleans, steaks have been served in sizzling butter since before Ruth's Chris made it popular. Techniques here: http://thepauperedchef.com/2009/04/the-butter-steak-whats-the-best-way-to-cook-a-steak.html http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/278559 |
The flavor is going to be the biggest difference when used on steak. Different oils have different smoke points but for searing stake that doesn't make much of a difference because of the high temperature. |
Guide to cooking steak 1, Remove battery from smoke alarm 2, Heat any oil except baby or engine 3, Add steak |
I never use oil to cook steaks. Why? There is natural fat on/in it already. If I feel I must have fat to keep from sticking, I trim excess fat off one bit and rub it over the heated pan. To keep steak from sticking to my pan, I usually season with dehydrated garlic and onion plus powdered or ground leaf spices. Those tend to stick slightly then I later use water mixed in with the stuck down spices to make an au jus for either potatoes or rice. |
You may want to consider a butter/oil mix. I find that works well as the oil has a higher smoking point but butter adds flavor. |
I generally pat my steaks dry with a paper towel, put a homemade dry rub on them, and grill them without oil. But that doesn't answer your question. When cooking them in a pan, I'll use olive oil for my wife, who prefers the flavor, and grapeseed for myself (for no other reason anymore than because it's my go-to oil - originally I chose it for its high smoke point and subtle, nutty-ish flavor). Those are for when I'm feeling healthy. When I don't care about that, I go heavy on the butter. Mmmm. This thread has made me curious to try an oil/butter mixture, I'm not sure why I didn't think of that before. |
Personally, I like refined peanut oil for searing steaks. Here is a list of smoke points for various oils: http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/collectedinfo/oilsmokepoints.htm |
Butter or spray oil contain emulsifiers which, according to McGee, prevent sticking. |
umm Extra virgin olive oil + butter or pork fat / beef fat / any form of fat if you think a "fat" your using is going to burn fast, then just add some oil to it. |
If you cook expensive meat like wagyu beef, you can request them to give you some fat (from the cow of course) and oil the pan with this fat. It gives you the most authentic taste! Usually I just use olive oil (not extra virgin) because it is healthier. |
Someone told me olive oil is not good for cooking the heat changes molecular structure makes it carcinogetic which can cause cancer as someone already mentioned coconut oil is good |
From http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/guides/oils.php Furthermore, grain- or legume-based oils concentrate the toxins the seeds use to protect themselves against being eaten. Clarified butter, coconut oil, beef tallow, butter and similar oils with low poly-unsaturated fat content are the best oils for frying or deep frying. No, they won't give you a heart attack. |

In the coming weeks, the President-Elect of the European Commission and leaders of the European Union will discuss the new institutional map of the European Union, including new portfolios for the incoming college of Commissioners. Despite the fact that immigration is a critical challenge for the European Union, it has become harder for EU institutions to forge a strong policy. Perhaps as a result of this disconnect, one of the key ideas on the table is to create a Commissioner for Migration.

"I am granting an extension until the first of the year for the U.S. Department of Justice to review Dr. Rossell's study and file any objections," said Davidson. "I will then make a decision on this according to the law and the Constitution of the United States."
The school district filed a study from Dr. Christine Rossell on the integration of schools from the McComb School District and the Lincoln County Parish School District in Louisiana and the DOJ objected to the study citing not having time to thoroughly review it.
The issue at hand revolves around the U.S. Department of Justice's belief that the Cleveland School District continues to practice a form of segregation by operating separate middle and high schools, which are nearly 100 percent black schools.
The case began on July 24, 1965, when numerous individual plaintiffs sued the Bolivar County Board of Education, including the Cleveland School District, which was known at the time as Bolivar County School District Number 4.
The plaintiffs argued that the board had white-only and black-only schools.
In 1965, Judge Claude Feemster Clayton ordered the board of education to submit its first plan of desegregation and then in the 1967-1968 school year Clayton ordered the board to desegregate faculty.
Over the years, the district has been ordered to submit plans aimed at tearing down the segregation barrier.
By instruction from Davidson, opening statements were waved.
"I believe that we all know why we are here today," he said. "So, we will skip the openings and move right along."
The school district, represented by the Cleveland firm of Jacks, Adams & Norquist, PA, called Dr. Beverly Hardy, principal of Hayes Cooper Center and project director for the district's Magnet programs, as its first witness.
During her testimony, Hardy provided enrollment figures for the district as well as for each individual school in question.
According to her testimony, the Cleveland School District had 3,728 students enrolled as of Nov. 26. Of that number, 30 percent are white, 66.3 percent are black, 2.8 percent Hispanic and one percent Asian.
Cleveland High School had a total enrollment of 612 at the time. Of that number there are 289 whites, 278 blacks, 26 Hispanic and 19 Asian students.
Margaret Green Junior High School had 475 students enrolled as of Nov. 26. Of that number, 241 are white and 203 are black.
East Side High School had 368 students enrolled at the time and of that number, 365 of them were black.
After providing the enrollment figures, the district moved Hardy's testimony to the proposed plan filed with the court and DOJ in May.
In the school district's proposal, submitted on May 15 and reported on again on Aug. 17, the district proposed to introduce "magnet" programs at both East Side High School and D.M. Smith Middle School to help attract white students from Cleveland High School and Margaret Green Jr. High.
The magnet programs core would be math, science and engineering; or math, science and health science.
The plan also cited the district's Majority to Minority Program as a tool used in the desegregation of the schools.
"The district believes that its current Majority to Minority Program together with the ongoing magnet school programs are serving to increase diversity at our district schools," said the Aug. 17 order from the school district.
"The Majority to Minority Program and the Magnet Schools Program has already resulted in integrated student populations at Cleveland High School, MGJH, Pearman Elementary, Parks Elementary, Bell Academy and Hayes Cooper Center."
U.S. Department of Justice attorney Joseph Wardenski asked Hardy how long would it take to implement the new magnet programs at East Side and D.M. Smith and how much additional money would it cost to implement them.
"We would certainly have to hire a good program director and would have to have some training, but we wouldn't have to add a lot of new personnel," Hardy testified.
Later in her testimony she gave a figure of $50,000-$75,000 to implement the program.
"Do you believe the programs will attract white students," asked Wardenski.
"We have seen a greater number of CHS students participate in the IB program at East Side this year," said Hardy. "The number grew from 12 last year to 38 this year. That is a pretty significant increase."
Hardy gave an in depth explanation of how the magnet programs that are already in place in schools within the district would integrate into the newly proposed middle and high school levels in an attempt to attract white students to East Side and D.M. Smith.
After Hardy's testimony, the district called its second and final witness, School Board President Maurice Lucas.
When asked what avenues of integrating the schools that the board of trustees discussed, Lucas said that the proposed magnet program was the only one.
"We (board) think that with good leadership the proposal would be successful," he said. "I was on the board when we first started the magnet programs at the other schools within the district and those turned out to be extremely successful."
Wardenski then asked why no other option was considered.
"We had a discussion years ago on the bond issue and the city's capabilities of building a new high school," answered Lucas. "We looked at what the estimated cost would be, between $25 million and $35 million, and took a vote that failed miserably. Our bond capacity isn't even that high."
During Lucas' redirect, the district asked for his opinion on whether or not the community would want to do away with East Side High School or Cleveland High School.
"There is history and tradition there," said Lucas. "I don't think the community would like that at all. Each school has its role in the community and are very important to members of the community."
After a few more questions, the district rested.
Wardenski and the U.S. Department of Justice called three witnesses — Tonya Short of Renova, Linda Sanders of Boyle and Rev. Edward Duvall of Cleveland.
Each testified that they had children currently attending East Side High School or D.M. Smith Middle School. Each testified that their children came through the district's system and each attended Hayes Cooper during their K-12 years.
"Do you consider D.M. Smith as integrated," Wardenski asked Short.
"No," she answered.
"What then would you propose be done to better integrate the schools," he asked.
"In my personal opinion, the answer would be to consolidate to one high school and one middle school so that each child is educated on the same level," she replied. "The community would just have to 'roll with it' because they would not have a choice."
The testimony of Sanders and Duvall were similar and included other reasons like saving money, better facilities and better preparation for the "real world" as reasons for changing to one high school and one middle school.
During the cross examinations of these three witnesses, council for the district pointed out that each family "chose to send their kids to East Side or D.M. Smith.
Prior to council making closing arguments, Davidson asked each party to hit on the subject of "white flight."
White flight is a term that originated in the United States, starting in the mid-20th century and applied to the large-scale migration of whites from racially mixed urban regions to more racially homogeneous suburban regions, originating from fear and anxiety about increasing minority populations.
Council for the district presented the plan of Rossell once again to address the fear of white flight.
"Rossell's plan predicts that the Cleveland School District could lose between 50-65 percent of its white student population due to white flight," said council for the district. "And, it is of our opinion that the DOJ has not provided proof here today that the Cleveland School District is a segregated one."
Council for the Department of Justice disagreed.
"The burden of proof is on the school district to present a plan," he said. "And, furthermore, the district bears the burden to prove that any proposed plan will work. The plan they have presented here is a plan for tomorrow. We want a plan that will work and work now. The district's proposed plan falls so short of what is considered a constitutional plan.
"White flight cannot be the overwhelming factor," he continued. "In that case desegregation would have never happened. This purposed plan is too little too late."
Davidson adjourned court after saying that he expected to have a decision in early January.
The Bolivar Commercial will continue to report on this case as it unfolds.

You're generic police uniform guy here, although lately I don't think it has done much for me. When I first started looking at porn, I used to go crazy for it.

Pretty much any uniform will do it for me. military for sure but once all it took was a Krispy Kreme hat. Mind you, it had a lot to do with how he was wearing that Krispy Kreme hat. For the record, I don't even like Krispy Kreme.
Firefighter.... definately the firefighter thing.
I am not into uniforms at all. As a matter of fact a police uniform turns me right off. I do go crazy for some of the construction outfits, but not into uniforms at all of any kind. Give me a hot guy in a pair of jeans, boots, jockstrap, and wife beater. Guess I'm just destined for the trailer park.
After wearing uniforms for years, I don't find anything sexy about them.
I like all kinds of uniforms ... well, maybe not ALL types... ;-)
I do have some uniform photos of myself in my gallery.... (evil grin)

A Motorcycle Cop always gets me stirred up. But then again, my UPS man looks mighty hot in his summer browns.

Formal uniforms. Oh god. So...good. I'll post an example later.
COPS and if possible hairy cops
I'm all about the uniforms. I have two fun (non-sexual) stories:
One of my friends made fun of me for it. There was a few of us out for coffee one night, and we each took turns confessing a fettish or fantasy. When it came to my turn, I mentioned that guys in commando gear was a major turn on. To which my hot, straight friend replies, "I have commando gear." My response was, "fuck you! Don't do that!"
My second story takes place just the other night when there's a few of us out for late-night coffee at Denny's. I was telling my friends how I discovered a fun word-play. If you switch two letters in the word "popcorn" you get "cop corn." And as I was describing this, one of my friend says to me quietly, "you may want to chill with the popcorn talk, look who just walked in."
A few cops, of course. So what does my other friend do? He picks up the word-play and runs with it. We're all trying to suppress our laughter. It was so funny, but somewhat embarassing considering that we were within hearing distance of those guys. Good times.
you are at the top of my lungs ♥
My favs are baseball and soccer.

One of mine - apart from skintight jeans, chaps and high heeeled cowboy boots is the skintight breeches of a Luftwaffe pilot and the knee high highly polished boots that went with the uniform. The skintight, ass crack revealing fit of the breeches and their very pronounced flare half way up the thigh really turns me on. I had a pair made.

First Known Use of STAR
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Any massive celestial body of gas that shines by radiant energy generated inside it. The Milky Way Galaxy contains hundreds of billions of stars; only a very small fraction are visible to the unaided eye. The closest star to Earth is the Sun. The closest star to the Sun is about 4.2 light-years away; the most distant are in galaxies billions of light-years away. Single stars such as the Sun are the minority; most stars occur in pairs and multiple systems (see binary star). Stars also associate by their mutual gravity in larger assemblages called clusters (see globular cluster; open cluster). Constellations consist not of such groupings but of stars in the same direction as seen from Earth. Stars vary greatly in brightness (magnitude), colour, temperature, mass, size, chemical composition, and age. In nearly all, hydrogen is the most abundant element. Stars are classified by their spectra (see spectrum), from blue-white to red, as O, B, A, F, G, K, or M; the Sun is a spectral type G star. Generalizations on the nature and evolution of stars can be made from correlations between certain properties and from statistical results (see Hertzsprung-Russell diagram). A star forms when a portion of a dense interstellar cloud of hydrogen and dust grains collapses from its own gravity. As the cloud condenses, its density and internal temperature increase until it is hot enough to trigger nuclear fusion in its core (if not, it becomes a brown dwarf). After hydrogen is exhausted in the core from nuclear burning, the core shrinks and heats up while the star's outer layers expand significantly and cool, and the star becomes a red giant. The final stages of a star's evolution, when it no longer produces enough energy to counteract its own gravity, depend largely on its mass and whether it is a component of a close binary system (see black hole; neutron star; nova; pulsar; supernova; white dwarf star). Some stars other than the Sun are known to have one or more planets (see extrasolar planet). See also Cepheid variable; dwarf star; eclipsing variable star; flare star; giant star; Populations I and II; supergiant star; T Tauri star; variable star.

As for Marino and Elway I have 8.5's and 9's so I'm happy lol I too studied the pros and cons of both for months before I started submitting to BGS and had to decide based of cases and the .5's lol I prefer a BGS 8.5 as opposed to a PSA 8. Eventually BGS will have its registry working tho it will take years to become as much fun and challenging as PSA's.

- Larkspur Ferry at 'crossroads:' Ridership outgrowing parking
GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE DISTRICT leaders plan to start charging for parking at the overcrowded Larkspur Ferry Terminal in order to pay for parking improvements, including two small lots and a Ross Valley shuttle bus.
The district's Board of Directors has voted to hold public hearings on a plan that could institute a daily parking charge of $2 to $5.
Directors need to keep their focus on making sure the ferries are affordable, convenient and dependable for all riders.
Partly, the board's decision is a reflection of the feedback it got when it surveyed riders last month.
Fifty-one percent said they would ride a free shuttle instead of driving and parking their cars. Seventy-eight percent backed plans to build more parking at the terminal.
At the same time, it should be noted that just 31 percent favored a $2 parking charge, but the district is moving forward with that idea.
For some commuters, a parking fee may price them out of taking the ferry to their jobs.
The bridge board needs to make sure that public transit serves and is affordable to as many people as possible, not just those with six-figure incomes.
The object of public transit is to move as many people as possible. Nickel-and-diming commuters into driving their cars across the bridge is a step backward.
Another factor is the district just raised ferry rates to $9.50 one way. The discounted commuter rate is $6.25 one way.
Bridge officials also need to come up with a payment process that makes sense for busy commuters. Using FasTrak, Clipper or other electronic payment options makes the most sense.
District officials need to be cognizant of impeding traffic access into the terminal parking or slowing commuters' boarding onto boats.
The parking charge is supposed to raise revenue needed to pay for a pilot shuttle bus serving the Ross Valley.
While proponents of shuttles say they are a green way to get commuters out of their cars and help solve the terminal's parking problem, the nagging question is will a shuttle be seen by many ferry riders as more of an inconvenience than a solution.
The charge will also help pay for creating parking on the Ross Valley Sanitary District property or at the Marin County Mart shopping center parking lot — across Sir Francis Drake from the terminal.
Long-discussed plans to build a deck over the existing terminal parking lot are not part of the district's short-range plans, but they deserve consideration.
Ridership on the Larkspur ferries continues to rise.
The district board is planning to begin public hearings on its plan. It is likely the parking charge will be the focus of public comment. An affordable charge deserves consideration as a way to pay for creating more parking and providing a free shuttle.
But the bridge board needs to maintain a focus on keeping the ferry affordable to all and a convenient and dependable way to get to and from work.
