Baked Parmesan Cheese Straws
|Puff pastry
|1 Pound
|Grated parmesan cheese
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
Roll out puff pastry dough into a rectangle 20 by 24 inches.
Sprinkle half of the parmesan evenly over the dough and gently press cheese into the dough with the rolling pin.
Fold the dough in half crosswise, roll it out again to 20 by 24 inches, and sprinkle on remaining cheese.
Using a sharp thin knife, cut the dough into 1/3 inch strips.
Take each strip by its ends and twist until evenly corkscrewed.
Lay the twists of dough on an ungreased baking sheet, arranged so they are just touching each other; this will prevent untwisting.
Set the baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 350°F.oven and bake until the straws are crisp, puffed and brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven, cool for 5 minutes, then cut apart with a sharp knife.
Finish cooling the straws on a rack, then store them in an airtight tin or plastic bag until serving time.
They will stay fresh for about 1 week.

My family and friends are very important to me as well as my pets which are family members as well. I'd say I'm an ambitious, sarcastic, open-minded and I get along with everybody or at least I like to believe so. I tend to be mellow and tend not to sweat the small uncontrollable things. I do have tattoo's if that's not something you can deal with I can live with that as they are meaningful to me, I do clean up extremely well where they are not visible if I'm wearing long sleeves. I enjoy helping people hence I'm in the hospitality industry. I'm a great listener, I find that it is the key if you ever want help and most of the times that is all someone wants. Someone who can hold a conversation and can express who they truly are are qualities I look for. I find nothing more attractive then someone who knows everything they bring to the table and holds their head up high, confidence is key with me. But you also can't be too into yourself if you're looking in a mirror every twenty minutes just keep on scrolling...

Big sports fan so any of our stadiums, Kuma's Corner (if you haven't been you owe it to yourself)
Music in general I'm a huge fan can pretty much find a song in any genre to vibe with. I also enjoy heading over to Comiskey Park (I refuse to call US Cellular Park) and watching a game whenever I get the chance.
During my free time I tend to go with the flow, so that could mean hanging with friends in the city downtown to just relaxing at the house with my dogs. I also really enjoy exercising my heavy bag is usually my best outlet.

Transfering Books
Hey everyone!
hoping someone can help me out. On my laptop I downloaded books from piratebay. I would now like to transfer those books to my playbook. How do I do this? I tried adding them to the files area when I have my playbook plugged into my laptop but that didn't work.
Please advise!

I'd recommend you obtain those books from a legal source.Need an app for your blog/business or want some BB10 coding help? PM me for rates

If we deal with books you own, you need to know the format of those books and find a reader app that can read that format. The included Kobo app can only read books that are downloaded directly from the kobo site to the pb. Even if you download those books to a kobo app on your computer, they canNOT be merely copied over - they must be downloaded from kobo.

Re: Transfering Books
Your source choice aside. Epubs can be imported from any folder you move them onto on the playbook. This can be done via usb or wifi. Plenty of info on file transfer on this site, just earch the forum. Plenty of epub reader app options. as well.
If you sideload android Kindle then you needto move mobi files into the misc/android/Kindle dir.The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, ōYou know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but IÆm just not close enough to get the job done.

The Kindle app (which can be sideloaded) will only open .mobi file books. If you use the Book Reader app (available in BB World) you can drag/drop epub format books into it.
When you plug your PB into your computer, open the "books" file and just drag and drop your books into it as long as you're using the native Book Reader app with proper epub format. If you've decided to use the Kindle app, once it's sideloaded, you'll go to the "misc" file, click and open it, click and open the "android" file, find the "kindle" file, open it and then drag/drop your .mobi books into it.
If you're having trouble with the book formats, Calibre calibre - E-book management is an excellent software to download to your computer to help change book formats to the proper one you're needing. I use it quite often with only happy results.

[quote=617888]Well, wasn't that exciting?
After the first half, I switched to watching hockey. [/quote] I'd love to see the viewing stats on the game. I'm guessing that it had a HUGE # of 'tune-outs'. We turned the game off at half-time, too, and played some games. Our game of Phase-10 had much more quality competition than anything I saw last night!

33 year old man | Tallmadge, OH, USA | Seeking women 25-35 within 50 miles
Looking for a serious relationship with a lady
Describe myself to Match. OK, I'll try. I graduated from BGSU in 2004 with a Bachelors in Computer Science. I enjoy living in the Akron-Cleveland area and am wanting to meet some new and interesting people. I've been living here for almost 8 years. I've had friends meet their girlfriends/wives on Match, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I am a Systems Analyst for a large urban school district. I've been working there since I moved here. In the last couple of years, I also bought a house. I'm a pretty handy guy. So far, I've installed a faucet and on my car, after the check engine light came on, I was able to find and fix the problem so it'll pass eCheck. I am an independent man who believes that in the saying "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, Teach a man how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.". I like to travel. I went to Florida last year and saw (and stood in) the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. I'm more of a homebody in that I don't go to bars. That not to say I'm not social, its just that the bar scene doesn't appeal to me. I usually watch Netflix, Hulu or Amazon on my Roku or shows like the Big Bang Theory. I've have a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor. I like to laugh at the absurdities of life because if you don't have laughter, you can't have fun. I'm looking for a girl with same qualities. A girl who is feminine, but doesn't mind getting her hands dirty. A girl who likes to dress up nice but can also relax in a t-shirt and sweatpants. Think you fit? Message me and let's talk.
Alumni connections , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Playing cards , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games
Bowling, Cycling, Golf, Swimming
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Fish
Middle of the Road
Great Lakes Brewery and a Browns or Indians game.
Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH
My favorite thing to eat fresh from the oven pizza. Some of my favorite TV shows are Big Bang Theory or The Office (with Michael Scott).
My idea of fun is staying in from the hustle and bustle and taking in a good movie or TV show. I'm more into action/spy flicks but like pretty much any movie. I also like to watch the Browns play, especially since they are so close to the playoffs.

Yeah, weird huh? You know it ain't big news until Mavs Owner, Mark Cuban, weighs in on the topic. Luckily, he has some perspective on this issue and offers a logical breakdown of both sides. On Pop: "If he would have done the same thing the next night, it'd be a completely different conversation. Common sense. Recognize who pays your check. Look, I respect the Spurs. Pop is the best coach in the league. I understand why he did it. I might even take the fine if it was us, but I understand why the league [fined the Spurs]. It maybe should have even been higher, because the amount at stake is enormous." – Mark Cuban On Stern: "It's just as stupid to put a team in their fourth game in five nights on national television. That's just as dumb. You're not going to get as good of a performance, and that's what you want to show. So I guess you can make the counter-argument that even though the Spurs did what they did. The league was just as guilty for putting them in that position, which was pretty stupid." – Mark Cuban

Ukrainian parliament votes against PM Yatsenyuk's resignation
Ukraine's parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, on Thursday voted against the resignation of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. MPs earlier in the day approved legislation the prime minister said was needed to avoid a financial default.
With the necessary 226 votes needed for Yatsenyuk's resignation, only 16 lawmakers from the Verkhovna Rada submitted their votes of no confidence, while 109 voted against.
Following the voting at the parliament, Yatsenyuk took the floor saying only "Ukraine has never declared default and never will," Itar-Tass reports.
Yatsenyuk submitted his resignation on July 24 after two parties quit the ruling coalition in the Verkhovna Rada. On July 24, the UDAR party announced its secession from the parliamentary coalition to allow the president to dissolve the Verkhovna Rada (parliament) and announce early parliamentary elections.

The Washington Wizards exercised fourth-year contract options on core players John Wall, Trevor Booker, Kevin Seraphin and Jordan Crawford on Friday, keeping that group in tact through the 2013-14 season, team president Ernie Grunfeld announced. The team also picked up the third-year contract options on Jan Vesely and Chris Singleton. Terms of the contracts weren't disclosed, per team policy. "We have been able to bring in and develop this core group of talented, mature young players over the last several years, and we're pleased to have them all signed through next season," Grunfeld said in a statement. "Combining them with the veterans we've added gives us a solid foundation that can be competitive now while allowing us to continue to build towards future success." Wall was taken first overall by the Wizards in the 2010. He appeared in all 66 games and averaged 16.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game.

Four seats on the Milwaukee School Board will be on the ballot in voting on April 7. To help voters make their choices, the Journal Sentinel asked the candidates to respond to several questions about their positions and goals.
Candidates were invited to talk for several minutes about why they are seeking office. Read their responses and hear their interviews below.
District 4
Michael Mathias
Annie Woodward
District 5
District 6
District 7
Michael Mathias
Candidate for District 4 Milwaukee School Board
Public education in Milwaukee is in a crisis, and MPS needs a strong Board that can energetically advocate for children, their families, taxpayers, and the community. Board members need to be able make the case for garnering more funding from the state, ensuring that we're putting enough resources in classrooms, and holding the administration and other stakeholders responsible for academic performance. I intend to be a board member who accomplishes these goals by working closely with other members, the administration, and the community.
What role do you want the School Board to play in improving academic results in MPS?
The Board needs to set clear standards for improving the academic performance of children and then ensure that principals, teachers, and staff have the resources they need to achieve those goals. Above all, the Board needs to hold the administration and schools responsible for results. No child should be allowed to languish in an under resourced or underperforming program.
What is your general approach to issues of revenue, spending and taxes affecting MPS?
The Board needs to take a strong role in educating the public about how the Milwaukee Parental Choice Programs hurts the district financially, as well as demonstrate leadership around the issue of reforming education funding in the state. Our current funding model is unsustainable, and has to change if public education is to succeed in Milwaukee. The Board also has a responsibility to ensure that tax dollars are spent efficiently.
Describe the kind of person you want for the next superintendent of MPS.
We need to find an individual who has a strong track record of achieving results and who can be innovative in fostering curriculum and programs that can help children succeed. We need someone who can effectively advocate for public education and who can gain allies for MPS from the community. This individual needs to be able to create a climate of trust between the administration and the district's teaching professionals.
How would you describe the record of the current School Board and what members, if any, do you think are handling their role on the board the best?
Too many people in our community have lost faith in MPS, despite the fact that, day after day, thousands of children are receiving a quality education from skilled professional staff. The Board needs to do a much better job communicating the district's successes as well as its challenges to the community. The Board has to take an active role in bringing resources to bear on programs that are succeeding, and help make tough choices about those programs that are not. I think the most effective Board members, including current member Michael Bonds, realize this, and are acting accordingly.
Annie Woodward
Candidate for District 4 Milwaukee School Board
What do you see as the main reason someone should vote for you?
I believe I should be elected to the school board because I have worked in many capacities to promote social justice issues. I have the compassion necessary to work on behalf of the interests of all of our children. Retiring after 34 years from Milwaukee County Department of Health and Human Services, I have been exposed to the issues facing our children in the inner-city and it gives me a unique perspective in facing the challenges affecting our school board. I have worked as a head tutor for MPS from 2001 to 2003 and I have actively been involved in the education of seven nieces and nephews who have all graduated from MPS schools. I have previously been active for 34 years in AFSCME Local 1055 and 594. Presently, I represent cashiers at the Wisconsin Center District for SEIU Local 1.
What role do you want the School Board to play in improving academic results in MPS?
I want to see the School Board work with the teacher's union to demand higher standards in the classroom. I would like to see a universal curriculum used so that our children can continue to learn if they are uprooted from one end of the city to another. I would like to ensure that our students have inroads into the best secondary education opportunities that our state can offer.
What is your general approach to issue of revenue, spending and taxes affecting MPS?
I believe that our funding formula here in Wisconsin is outdated. It does not account for the rising cost of living and the rise of inflation. With the state of the economy being what it is, our students are getting less of an education as dictated by this faulty formula. We need to ensure that every year, we are making the same level of resources available to the public schools and increasing them where necessary. It is unacceptable to make cuts to arts and physical education classes that our students need to receive a well-rounded education.
Describe the kind of person you want for the next superintendent of MPS.
I believe that the next superintendent needs to have experience working in a challenging school system and strong vision for MPS with a sound solution to get us there. I would expect that this would include a decline in wasteful spending in MPS (for example, paying massive utility costs for unused school buildings). I believe that the new superintendent should foster an expectation of the school board that is unifying and discourages divisiveness. The next superintendent should work to marginalize the influence of special interests in our public education. Lastly, the new superintendent should examine the attendance and achievement issues facing MPS and work with the school board to develop solutions to these issues.
How would you describe the record of the current School Board and what members, if any, do you think are handling their role on the board the best?
When I look at the school board I see a lot of tension and ideological contrasts between board members. I understand that many families look to school choice as an immediate band-aid solution to the challenges facing MPS. However, I believe that we all need to recognize that school choice is not the answer to the question of how to fix the long-term problems of MPS. We need to invest more in our public education if we are to expect better results. I was impressed with Peter Blewett's decision to cast the deciding ballot to ensure that our students weren't being handcuffed inside of their own schools.
Larry Miller
Unopposed candidate for District 5 Milwaukee School Board
I have worked as a teacher and administrator in MPS for the past 18 years. I have participated in many district-wide projects while helping to start new schools. Based on my experience, I have insight both into what works in MPS and what does not. I am also an editor at "Rethinking Schools," a leading education reform publication. I hope to help make significant changes and improvements in teaching and learning for our students.
What role do you want the School Board to play in improving academic results in MPS?
I want us to focus on reading for K-8 students and graduation for all high school students. If all students are at grade-level in reading by the time they leave 8th grade, high school graduation rates and high student performance will improve drastically.
What is your general approach to issues of revenue, spending and taxes affecting MPS?
I will be working to change the state funding formula, the voucher funding formula, and the over-burden of property taxes to pay for public schooling. I will also look very carefully at spending within MPS with a keen eye toward ineffective programs, inefficient resource spending, and excessive expenditures of consultants.
Describe the kind of person you want for the next superintendent of MPS.
The next superintendent must both know education and be skilled in overseeing a system as large as ours. I hope to see both a strong superintendent and a strong school board that work closely together.
How would you describe the record of the current School Board and what members, if any, do you think are handling their role on the board the best?
I have worked well with all of the present board members as the leader of an MPS high school. But my support goes to board members that are willing to make hard decisions to increase finances, create new programs, and build state-wide support for our work in Milwaukee. I argued for the 14.6% increase in the tax levy because it was necessary --- given the current formula -- to hold off increasing class sizes and maintain necessary resources for teaching and learning. Ultimately we need systemic change in the way financing is done. I support Peter Blewett and the other board members who have led the charge on this.
Peter Blewett
Candidate for District 6 Milwaukee School Board
What do you see as the main reason someone should vote for you?
I ran for the MPS Board of Directors because the Board ignored the voices of students, parents, staff, and taxpayers. Since my election, I have remained true to the idea that Board members need to listen to our constituents. The educational needs of Milwaukee's children should guide all board decisions.
That principle has guided my decisions. And I believe that that principle has been a factor in the graduation rate climbing from under 50% when I came onto the Board to nearly 70% today. But clearly the Board has more work to do. Until every child who walks through our doors leaves prepared for higher education or the world of work, we cannot rest.
That's why, as Board President, I have been tirelessly campaigning for arts education and have helped bring more than four million dollars of private money over the past three years into Milwaukee for arts education, supplementing, not supplanting, what MPS already invests in normal operations.
That's why, as Board President, I have met with industry leaders to rejuvenate technical education in MPS, so that Milwaukee now leads the entire nation in the percentage of women and minority students who are enrolled in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses.
That's why, under my leadership, MPS has expanded programs like Project Lead The Way (PLTW), the country's premiere STEM program. In the last two years, we have doubled the number of PLTW programs offered in schools. Currently, MPS leads the nation in having the highest percentage of women and minority students enrolled in the program.
That's why, as Board President, I proposed the Greening MPS initiative, which has put MPS on the track to invest the stimulus dollars in a way that will bring returns to taxpayers and benefit the environment.
That's why, after listening to concerned parents, I took the lead on banning pesticides from our schools to create a safer, healthier environment for our children.
That's why, as Board President, I directed the administration to bring the district into compliance with federal Head Start regulations, so MPS could keep Head Start. That's why, under my leadership, MPS became fully compliant with federal guidelines for the first time, thus saving MPS Head Start.
That's why, as Board President, I brought the Board's midnight decision to allow staff to handcuff students back for consideration, which is why MPS now has a district-wide, comprehensive safety plan, emphasizing character and conflict resolution, with promising results that have been trumpeted in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel as recently as last week.
That's why, as Board President, I listened to the judiciary at Children's Court and invented a way to cut through MPS bureaucracy so that MPS could work constructively to serve students, families, and the Milwaukee community.
That's why, as Board President, I continue to advocate for increased federal and state funding for programs that the federal and state governments mandate but fail to fund.
What role do you want the School Board to play in improving academic results in MPS?
My main complaint with the Board that led me to run eight years ago is that the Board and administration's political shenanigans interfered with my son's school and other schools. After pretending to listen to the public, the MPS Board embarked on the fiscally perilous Neighborhood Schools Initiative (NSI). Nine years later, in a series of articles about NSI, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel proved our concerns to be legitimate. I ran because the old Board did not listen to parent concerns.
The Board needs to resist the temptation to jump from one quick fix gimmick to another. If schools are succeeding, the Board should allow the professional educators to do the jobs they are trained and hired to do. The Board should support and encourage innovations that lead to improved academic performance.
Although the Board should support successful programs, we must insist that schools that are not succeeding develop alternative strategies based on best practices. The Board has to provide underperforming schools with the resources they need to implement these strategies successfully. When schools consistently underperform, the Board needs to take tough action, including closing unsuccessful schools.
No matter the decision, the principle is the same: the Board needs to engage the community and listen to all stakeholders before taking action.
What is your general approach to issues of revenue, spending and taxes affecting MPS?
The state of Wisconsin is responsible for ensuring that all students enjoy an equal opportunity for educational success. When every child in Milwaukee has the same educational opportunity as any other child in the state, then I will stop demanding that the state needs to do more. Until that day, I will demand that the state live up to its obligation and quit hammering property taxpayers.
Milwaukee is hampered by unfair taxation that results in a three-way blow to Milwaukee taxpayers. I salute Mayor Tom Barrett in identifying two of the three voucher funding flaws that adversely impact Milwaukee taxpayers. Folks may disagree about which flaw is more injurious, but the Board must work with legislators to address this injustice. The good news is that the Governor's budget begins to address one of these flaws.
Another funding flaw that has not been addressed has to do with special education. Both the federal and state governments mandate numerous programs but each branch of governments breaks its promise to Milwaukee's children by failing to reimburse the district for even half of these costs. In addition to demanding 50% reimbursement for these federal and state mandates, I also call for the state to adjust the funding for voucher students according to the number of special needs students a school serves. If a school serves fewer special needs students than MPS, then it should receive proportionately fewer dollars than other schools. Voucher funding should be adjusted proportionately according to the number of special needs students that school serves. The state must protect the interests of students with special needs.
Describe the kind of person you want for the next Superintendent of MPS.
My criteria are that that person firmly believes that all children have the capacity to succeed, meets the state's qualifications, and possesses the commitment, expertise, and characteristics to be the superintendent of a school district of a city that faces the overwhelming challenges of joblessness and poverty. The superintendent must advocate for more state and federal resources so that we can reduce the property tax burden. In addition, I would only support hiring a superintendent who is committed to working with the Board; who has the ability and commitment to communicate with the Board, staff, parents, and the community; and who will refrain from intimidation of personnel.
How would you describe the record of the current School Board and what members, if any, do you think are handling their role on the board the best?
Director Michael Bonds and I share a concern for educational achievement and budgetary matters, and we both believe that the Board is responsible for holding the administration accountable for educational and financial matters. That is why, even though he did not support me when I was elected President two years ago, I asked Bonds to chair the Board's most powerful committee, Finance and Personnel.
Director Bonds and I share, along with Director Terrence Falk, the view that the community must be engaged in district decisions. That's why I demanded that the African American Educational Council be involved in the district's strategic planning process. That's why when the administration brought forward a proposal to revamp the district's principle assignment procedure, I insisted that the administration bring the proposal to the Parent Teacher Association and other school governance groups before bringing the item to the Board. That's why I have insisted that the administration engage school communities before bringing recommendations to move schools to the Board. I hope that a stronger Board will support me in directing the administration to be less arbitrary and more family friendly.
I have great optimism for our future. I believe that this election will bring more directors who share my passion for educational achievement, community engagement, social justice, and fiscal and academic accountability, and that, together, we will make MPS the nation's premiere school district.
Thank you for giving candidates this opportunity to share their ideas with the public.
ReDonna Rodgers
Candidate for District 6 Milwaukee School Board
What do you see as the main reason someone should vote for you?
I have dedicated my life to researching, developing and implementing quality programs and experiences for young people. My career has provided me the tempermant, leadership skills, business skills and over 20 years of outstanding outcomes working with children, families, training youth workers, mentors, and involvement in civic engagement. I am a great public/community servant and have experience pulling people diverse people together versus pushing them apart when facing difficult decisions. I understand budgets and how you can offer maximum service with good results on minimum dollars by incorporating community assets in your efforts.
What role do you want the School Board to play in improving academic results in MPS?
Setting a tone of appreciation, respect and support for employees while helpng and holding them accountability for outcomes. Analyzing the budget to determine how our dollars can be better utilized to provide the procedures and resources (funding, training, marketing, community engagement, etc.) to ensure teachers are supported, children are getting the array of services they deserve to achieve academic as well as personal success and increase pride in MPS.
What is your general approach to issues of revenue, spending and taxes affecting MPS?
Acquire clear knowledge of these matters, assess how they impact, enhance and/or hinder our mission to reach our district wide educational goals for our children and employees. Work with colleagues, administration, unions, and civic leaders to establish concensus on immediate action items with timelines and measurements, establish short and long term measureable action items, and provide the leadership and unity necessary to make decisions that will move us closer to achieving our established goals.
Describe the kind of person you want for the next superintendent of MPS.
A person with a track record, leadership approach and decision-making that provides examples that they are definitely children focused. He/She will have capacity to provide support to employees, ensuring we meet the mission of MPS and adamant about making sure everyone involved in MPS is part of our children experiencing success in school. An individual knowledgable of and preferably experienced in a school district that has the diverse educational offering similar to Milwaukee and is willing to create collaboration versus confusion. A person who views MPS as a major part of the community. Possesses the skills and presence to establish relationships with city, government, business, philanthropic, non profit, media, civic entities and others to connect our children and employees to opportunities that will help us meet the goals of MPS.
How would you describe the record of the current School Board and what members, if any, do you think are handling their role on the board the best?
The board has been mired in and limited for years by infighting. Far too much time is spent on peripheral business, and not enough time focusing on improving and evaluating student achievement. It has not been able to deal effectively with key issues: Like building, maintaining and evaluating consistent strategy on how to improve student outcomes, work with other elected officials to fix the funding flaw, use of MPS resources coupled with community resources, the looming $2.5 billion dollar postretirement benefit deficit.
My vision is that the board will become a team focused on MPS districtwide, set the internal and external tone of excellence and change for a better results through policy, passion and pride. We must promote and expect reasonable outcomes to position MPS districtwide, not a few schools, as a great school system.
Donna Peck
Candidate for District 7 Milwaukee School Board
My campaign has been about grassroots. We have not received any political action committee money. My family has walked door to door to let the voters know who I am and what my campaign stands for without any strings attached. The issues I look forward to working on are: special education needs, smaller class sizes, reforming curriculum for all students, addressing an ineffective voucher system. My opponent is supported by a big special interest group with substantial financial backing. Their interest is narrow and come with strings attached.
This is another election of the little guy vs. special interest. It is time we take back our schools from special interest groups. This is the reason why people will vote for Donna Peck. A vote for Donna Peck is a vote for themselves and their family.
What role do you want the School Board to play in improving academic results in MPS?
Members of the school board need to become more aggressive and proactive in dealing with present and future issues confronting MPS. Placing mandatory limits on class size would benefit MPS by improving academic results. A problem facing many teachers is the difficulty in providing students one on one attention. This by no means is the fault of the teacher or the students. School board members need to step up and place mandatory class size limits so student achievement can have the opportunity to improve.
School board members need to become an active presence in schools within their districts. You have to go and actually identify and analyze the problems within schools. Communication with Principals, faculties, and parents would provide opportunities to share information on the individual school needs. The information acquired could lead to potential solutions to prevent and cure the problems in individual schools and MPS.
An area needed to be explored is using business partnerships to actually train and develop future employees from the MPS student population to work in Milwaukee and surrounding businesses. MPS uses advance placement core courses to prepare and provide students a head start for college. As a district, we need to look toward the future and provide career choices and opportunities beyond the basic core classes. Board members need to work with schools so students can actually work toward careers before they graduate high school. We need to focus on all of our students so they can all fulfill their goals.
What is your general approach to issue of revenue, spending and taxes affecting MPS?
The first issue that needs to be dealt with is vouchers. In Milwaukee there are over 20,000 students in approximately 120 schools where the state pays up to $6,700 for each voucher student. Milwaukee is the home of one of the largest publicly funded school voucher programs in the country. Over a half a billion dollars of tax payer money has gone to private voucher schools in Milwaukee since the program started.
In these harsh economic times, the question must be asked. Is the voucher system working? There has not been any conclusive evidence from any reports that vouchers have improved the achievement of students who use them to attend private schools. If this is the case, then why are we as taxpayers funding a two-school system? If the voucher system cannot show this dramatic increase in student achievement than we as taxpayers must give the tax dollars to the under funded MPS schools. These dollars could help fund the needed reforms such as smaller class sizes and more innovative curriculums.
The second issue is educational cost per student. MPS spends close to $10,000 per student. That figure is not much less than some college prepatory schools in the surrounding Milwaukee area. Our district needs to be restructured and reformed to get the best value from our taxes. Principals in MPS are expected to be accountants in organizing school budgets. Few have the experience or qualifications to manage these large budgets. We need to take a look at training principals, requiring courses in accounting as part of their studies, or having actual accountants manage their budgets. There is a tremendous amount of money wasted in the system that could be deployed to help other areas in need. The cost of training or hiring would be recouped in having more cost efficient schools. It would also be beneficial to have principals be principals and free their time to deal with school climate and curriculum.
The money that is suppose to go to special education needs to stay in these programs. Too often money is relocated to other areas leaving special education short. Several schools take special education students knowing they bring funding with them, yet are unable to provide the required services to the student. As a district, our special education funding and spending needs monitoring instead of ignoring or neglect.
The stimulus money needs to be used to reform the district. We have smaller schools but not smaller classes. Restructure the curriculum to provide a productive future for all students
Describe the kind of person you want for the next superintendent of MPS.
Everyone sees but few perceive. It would be refreshing to have a superintendent that not only identifies the problems but also understands how to solve them. The individual needs to have a wide range of experience.
They should have a background in economics. The individual needs to understand how to manage a budget. They have to be frugal with their spending. This includes knowledge of the economic problems facing the district. They need communication skills and the ability to work with various groups. We need a superintendent that will collaborate their ideas instead of pronouncing their authority. The next superintendent should be more accessible to the public and within each district. I would like to have Town Hall meetings during the year in every district.
Finally, they should be able to foresee and adapt to new educational philosophies and theories that present themselves. If they are able to accomplish this task, our schools will be ahead and ready for the future.
How would you describe the record of the current School Board and what members, if any, do you think are handling their role on the board the best?
If I win the election for District 7, I look forward to having a professional relationship with all school board members. What any member has done in the past will not influence my judgment or stance on an issue.
David Voeltner
Candidate for District 7 Milwaukee School Board
What do you see as the main reason someone should vote for you?
The combination of my life experiences, character and personality combined with my concern for children and love of the city of Milwaukee make me a natural fit for the 7th district.
What role do you want the School Board to play in improving academic results in MPS?
The school board should better allocate funds so that more money makes it into the classrooms and actually helps kids learn. The board should also lead by example and become an efficient and unified body that sets aside petty politics and bickering.
What is your general approach to issues of revenue, spending and taxes affecting MPS?
I would like every financial decision the board makes to be based on common sense, hard data and not be swayed by emotion. Any responsible budget must take into account the already heavily burdened tax payer of Milwaukee and be as efficient as possible. I would hope the board joins me in further educating the tax payers of Milwaukee as to the major funding flaws that exist at the state level.
Describe the kind of person you want for the next superintendent of MPS.
The next Superintendent can be chosen from a national pool which of course includes people from inside MPS or who are known locally. I would love for the candidate to have past experience not only as a superintendent but from a large urban area with a similar ratio of minority students. A charismatic public presence and strong leadership attributes would help in unifying the board and spreading the message of the district to the citizens. The frosting on the cake would be if the next person for the job had either experience with, or special knowledge of the workings of a state legislature. With the many challenges faced by MPS at he state level, an inside track to swaying opinions in Madison would be very helpful.
How would you describe the record of the current School Board and what members, if any, do you think are handling their role on the board the best?
Sorry, for now I have no comment.

i originally wanted a GASOLINE (petrol) stove so i could just stick to ONE fuel for bike and stove, BUT i have heard if you are doing anything other than boiling water, your food sometimes picks up the GASOLINE (petrol) smell/flavor.
BUT if i was to go on a 2 week or more trip, i don't want to worry about WHERE i am going to get more fuel cannisters.

as far as food goes, any of the dehydrated food is GREAT!
BUT what else do you carry?
i always pick up a potato or two when in town and you can do so many variation of meals with them and they don't bruise, they last for a long time.
the Starbucks VIA is the BEST thing to happen to camping !!!!!!
easiest thing to make. and i actually make mine COLD most of the time.
they have NEW ones that are meant to be ICED. http://www.amazon.com/Starbucks-VIA-.../dp/B003QKBDX4
they are lightly sweetened so no need to bring sugar packets (what i did in the past cuz i like to sweeten my coffee)
RICE is also an amazing ingredient to camping food.
whether you are preparing the dehydrated packs or fishing, or something else you got when in town, it cooks fast and can be carried ANYWHERE on the bike.
apples or oranges keep well and are great for energy.
Clif Bars are my choice when it comes to energy bars. they also have other products for electrolytes.
peanuts and trail mixes are great.
Snickers or Payday bars are good source of protein and carbs.
i only put water in my Camelbak because if i can't clean it right away i don't need to worry about bacteria.
and if i need WATER for a rag to clean my goggles, WATER to seat the bead when changing a flat, WATER for the inside of my helmet if it's HOT out, etc.
i got this "spice rack" at REI and my buddies laughed at me BUT were envious when they tasted my creations in the "kitchen".
with 6 spices available for storage, my choices are ....
3.italian seasoning
6.garlic powder
a separate spice holder i put vegetable oil.
i got this "egg holder" for more close to town weekend camping trips where you can buy the eggs and eat them the next morning.
i'll think of more later....

Tasty Bite (http://www.tastybite.com/) if you like Indian food/curry.
Comes in bags that you reheat in boiling water and can eat out of. Stuff is the real deal.
I shop a lot at health food stores and have found great organic gravy/sauce mixes without a hunderd chemicals in them to go over pasta & rice. Just add boiling water.
If I were to carry only one spice, it would be a shaker of Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning. Essentially salt with cajun spices. Use on about any meats or veggies.
Cheese will keep a few days or longer, depending upon temperatures. Also will bring along the dry Italian salami, which will keep for days after being cut into.

That's about it. Hit a market before sunset to buy a little something dehydrated, instant brown rice, ramen noodles maybe a little 50 cent bag of frozen veggies but get to camp before they thaw too much. Use them to keep your beverages cold.
If you want to learn to catch and clean squirrel meat, I know a guy... Its ok to eat fish, cause they don't have any feelings. My tackle box fits in my wallet. Hooks, thread, float, bait. Weighs about a half an ounce. Garlic salt and pepper to taste.
You can run down to your favorite big box retailer and buy a $200 whiz-bang stove or you can go to the Army-Navy surplus store and get something smaller, lighter and fully bomb-proof for about $3 (three) My stove can also be used as an entrenchment tool should I feel the need to dig a hole to hide in.
It takes less time to do things the hard way than to be too nervous to even start at all.

Most remote gas stations we stopped at had cannisters of isobutane but none had Coleman fuel.
I have a 3.5oz isobutane stove (SnowPeak) and a titanium pot that I've always used for backpacking. I was kicking myself for not bringing it.
I think if I was starting from scratch, I'd just get a JetBoil. If you need 2 pots for cooking, you're picking food that is too complex. I like the Tasty Bite's also. Too heavy for backpacking but excellent for motorcycle camping. I usually bring some Couscous and the combo is plenty of food for one person.
I just sold my 625SXC (Ortlieb panniers) and the next trip will be on my 450EXC with Coyote bag and PMB rack. Hopefully I can pack light enough so this thread is interesting.

Razr - hopefully you'll have plenty of fun on your 525 as it takes you from adventure to adventure.
In regards to luggage you seem to be looking at decent options. i've used the DirtBagz
and I like these if your trips are only going to be a few days. They are easier to to get on and off the bike than the GiantLoop and if you're a short arse like me it makes swinging your leg over the tall KTM a lot easier. I've owned both the original GiantLoop bag and the new Coyote that has great improvements in terms of zipper access and ease of mounting. Though the Dirt BagZ still mount a lot quicker and easier. Check the 525 as Adventure thread and there are pics of some simple brackets I made up that took thirty minutes to fab up. They are all you need with the DirtBagz and not some expensive custom tubes bent and welded up. Mine are still mounted on the bike, mount to existing bolts, and those brackets have been going for three years without sustaining any damage.
The GiantLoop bags work a charm and are my go to bag when the trip is longer than a couple days. The longest trip I've done unsupported so far is a three country month long off rode ride on the 525 and the Giantloop performed well and was able to handle all I needed for the trip including camping gear.
I used rubber straps to mount my Giantloop as its quicker and more secure than the current Coyote fastening method. I notice on my current Coyote the side pods of the bag flop about a bit, even when battened down. My old strap method was secure enough I could yank on the bag to pull the bike out of mud holes.
Overall the Giantloop products have been fantastic, having said that I would not overlook the DirtBagz if they suit your purposes better and are a short arse.
By far how ever, the product I have been most satisfied with has been the Wolfman Numberplate bag.
This bag originally started on my KLX 300 about 5 years ago and is still going strong.
I utilize it to store items I may need quickly like raingear, maps and snacks since I'm a type 1 diabetic. It has been hammered on the trails for many days a week for 5 years, through many countries and still shows no sign of wear and by far the best item for these types of trips I have found.
The Wolfman Enduro tank bag is another option but I hated the thing. It occupies space where I want to be when sliding forward on a dirt bike. When standing my crotch hits the thing. utterly useless for short arses like myself. Used it once and have never used it again.
Enjoy your rides.

the number plate bag is my next purchase for sure. snacks, wallet, phone, maps, etc.
the tank bag is annoying for any off-roading, so i will use it only as an addition to storage if i REALLY need it.
i just hold onto it for the possibility on longer trips that i MIGHT need it but i will leave it if i don't really need it.
i'm not that short (5'11") , but even if the camping gear gets packed high, i have the ProMotoBillet kickstand that can withstand my weight if i need to put the kickstand down, and stand on the pegs to dismount the bike.

What method do you use to keep the content of the numberplate bag dry?
How secure is it for woops?
Can you access the content easily after giving it a coating of offroad frosting?

I'm average height and weight (6', 175 lbs) and have ridden the 525 almost 15,000 miles of extended off road trips. Everything from axle deep mud to skid pan deep poof dust in the deserts and mountains of the American west.
Back packing, winter alpine mountaineering and skiing are the roots of my minimalist kit. Choosing to ride with other KTM owners makes it even simpler as we share tools and spare parts although each rider is required to carry their own flat repair equipment and spare tube(s).
In the USA, we're never more than a day's ride from fuel so I'll occasionally grab a can of chili or soup to heat up on a fire. You gotta get gas pretty much every day so I'll supplement my freeze dried (Mountain House brand) meals with something canned or fresh when available. I also carry some flour tortillas in my tank bag which greatly extend my evening meals and usually there's enough left to make a little burrito for lunch the next day.
This was a 9 day, unsupported trip through Oregon and Nevada.
Big Agnes inflatable insulated sleeping pad
The North Face down bag (rated to zero)
The North Face Flight solo single wall 'tent' (love that thing and hate it too, 2.5 lbs, easy to set up, works really well in a stiff wind but if it's warm out, it sweats).
Various tools and KTM bits 6, 8, 10 mm bolts, etc.
Super light and easy to pack indoor soccer shoes. (I prefer an actual shoe vs. flip flops or Teva-type sandals as mine have toes for walking around in the desert).
Platypus gravity water filter. (I take care of the water for the whole group in exchange for some Jetboil time - we also carry a back up water filter like Pur or Katadyne depending on who's riding with us and what they own).
Frogtoggs rain gear - works as an additional layer if it gets cold around camp and is actually waterproof if you have to do some rain riding.
Silk long underwear - works really well, packs tiny and you can use the top for a bug net on your head.
I use the same set up on the XR6550R.
What's next? More action!

If still concerned you can treat the bag with a water repellant treatment with something like this: http://www.surplusandadventure.com/shop/clothing/product-care-waterproofing/nikwax-waterproof-treatment-polar-475362.html
I have treated gaments and such with it and has worked decently.
The Wolfman bag fastens with two webbing and adjustable Fastex style buckles around the bottom fork tube clamps and two more adjustable webbing clamps around the handlebars (you do not need a crossbar for this bag to clamp properly). Once adjusted on the bike and cinched down (takes two minutes) the bag has not moved during my years with it. I have even carried two liters of fuel in the thing which is a heavy load and something I would not normally place in the bag but it handled it without any issues. The bag also has two half inch webbing straps across the front of the bag to keep the contents snug against the numberplate. here's another pic for reference that shows a different angle.
The bag in the above pick is not packed to its capacity.
In regards to zipper functionalitywhen dirty and muddy the bag has twin zippers mounted on the zipper rail and there is a fabric flap that covers the zipper quite well and despite the muddy dunkings it has received over here it has always remained easily accessable.
I dont have the three foot sand whoops over here that i did in my native southern California ( not enough off roaders over here to create whoops) but I would not hesitate to give it a go based on how it has performed for me over the years.
I referenced some homemade brackets I put together for my Dirtbagz a few posts above, here are some pics of the brackets I found. Note that they are minimal and unobtrusive.
When I first put together brackets this size on my KLX 5 years ago I was worried that the bags would not be supported enough to keep them out of the rear wheel, especially compared to the brackets that were sold for these bags. Five years later though and now hooked up to the KTM this style of bracket has not failed me or let the bag get into the rear wheel. The idea was to keep the bracketry to a minimum and therefore reduce the risk of damaging the brackets in crashes, which sadly I do far to frequently.
The DirtbagZ are supported primarily with the straps looped over the top of the seat and the brackets are only utilized to keep the bags from flopping about (which they do more than the GiantLoop bag) and from getting stuck in the rear wheel. So far they have worked well and quite simple to put together.
Great post Wachs!!! Thats is exactly the idealogy thats needed on these 525/530's to have them excel. Another alternative to compact shoes to pack if you want an actual shoe versus sandal is something like this: http://www.ems.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4162443
The back folds down easily so you can wear it like a flip flop if you like and the mesh material compacts quite well. I pack them with the soles facing out and positioned heel to toe. Wrapped together with a innertube rubber band they take up no more room than a single normal tennis shoe and weigh next to nothing.
Wachs - Have you or any of your buddies thought about the Nuetech Tubliss system as an alternative to tubes? i keep dreaming about the weight and space saved if I could ditch the innertubes out of my packing list. Hell even packing a couple extra Nuetech tubes you'd still be saving some decent space overall I would think.

I have run the Tubliss system on my little bike for the last year. The biggest problem I have had with it is just not getting to ride enough. I have had the tires go flat while sitting and had to deflate them and wet the bead to get them to seal again, not a big deal at all but a bit inconvenient but I have not had a failure on the trail or the street. It is a small price to pay to not have to carry tubes or deal with them on the trail, just plug and go. Also, when I rode the Urban Enduro last Spring I had a flat for the whole thing. Not only did I ride the whole route but I rode home. The benefit of the whole wheel rimlock is priceless. Check the 2 noobs racing thread. Oregoncoast has had at least 1 failure but he is still sold on them and continues to use them. I got mine from Renazco Racing.
I'll add a link later...

I do.
The one spanner I carry, other than an adjustable one, is cut in half. It's for adjusting the chain adjusters and has plenty of strength/leverage the size it is. I cut tags, labels, toggles, etc. that I don't use off my kit too. I started because I do this for backpacking, but it's habit forming. :)
It seems a bit extreme, but I used to keep a little bag of this stuff to remind me how it was worth doing. Like all weight saving, in isolation, it seems to not be worth it, but it does add up. It ended up being very little weight*, but the main thing I found was that all this stuff was a fair bit of pack volume. This is fine by me, within reason, I'm more into reducing pack size than volume on the bike.
I draw the line at cutting dehydrated food packet edges down more narrowly to save literally only a single gram, even when hiking. The time cost vs weight/size benefit is too small for me. To quote my father, "that sounds more like a mental illness than weight saving". At least when I trim tags from my tent, they're gone for the life of the tent and not just one use. Sometimes, depending on the contents and how long I'll be on a trip, I do put the contents of tins into food bags, but this is more to do with getting an easier to pack size/shape than a can. Many real ultralight minimalists do this to eliminate the need for a tin opener, but I have one on a Leatherman which I carry anyway, so that particular consideration is a non-issue for me.
*too little to be concerned with on a bike, but enough that I'd bother on a pushbike or hiking.
I like my bike because I can overtake 4x4s down farm tracks with a week's worth of shopping on the back.

The Giant Beastcast: Episode 06
Become Premium to Watch
Her Story is a bold and largely successful experiment in interactive crime fiction.
Rocksteady's gorgeous-looking third Arkham game refines its open-world format a bit and lets you drive a whole hell of a lot of Batmobile.
It's squid kids and ink blasting abound in Nintendo's exceptionally fun new online shooter.
Game »
consists of 3 releases.
Released Oct 28, 2008
Extraterrestrials appear in many video games in a variety of styles. Sometimes they're evil, sometimes they're benevolent, and sometimes they're very similar to humans.
Anthropomorphism is the concept of an object, concept or character that has human qualities or traits, such as speech, a level of intelligence similar or higher than a human's and self consciousness. "Anthro" means "of human" and related to the concept of humanity.
A proprietary video codec (.bik extension) developed by RAD Game Tools and used in a very large number of video games.
Not all bosses can handle the player by themselves. Many use waves of lesser enemies to fight for them while they rest, and some even let these minions do all the work.
Cartoon characters are personas from cartoons, which are animated moving sequences that are usually drawn but can be "computer animated" and can come from television, movies, the web, or stated in the game. They can be humans, animals, or even things usually not thought as living.
Cartoon physics refers to games which do not conform to regular physics, but the "laws" are for a humorous bent rather than conforming to reality. Sometimes it ignores physical laws, like gravity, or tweaks them, like not being totally blown away by dynamite.
These spooky entities are the spirits of the dead, returned from beyond their graves for generally sinister purposes. There's generally about even odds whether a particular ghost will be helpful or malevolent towards the living, but some ghosts just want to be left alone entirely.
Usually found in adventure games, when you combine two or more items to create one or more new items.
Games made for a younger audience, usually between 3-9.
These games are based off of an established license, such as a movie or comic. Examples are the James Bond and Spider-Man franchises.
They may be good or evil, but mad scientists are always performing experiments that are on the outer fringes of science. Ever since Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, they've been in the scene.
Platforms conveniently moving you towards your destination to allow the crossing of large expanses which would otherwise be impossible to cross.
Two or more characters are featured on the game's box art.
Talking animals are exactly that: otherwise ordinary animals that, for whatever reason, possess the abillity of speech.
Videogames that, for better or for worse, are based on an existing non-videogame franchise. Usually drawn from movies, tie-in games have also been made about TV shows, novels, and even one-hit wonder pop bands.
Some television shows are ripe for interactive adaptations. Like Grey's Anatomy, or The Young Ones.
Many of the games released for the Nintendo Wii take 'advantage' of the controls available by forcing the player to shake or 'waggle' the Wii remote and/or nunchuck. Waggling generally does not require skill on the part of the player; only shaking movements.

Novelist ReShonda Tate Billingsley visits downtown library Monday
In ReShonda Tate Billingsley's new novel 'A Family Affair' (Gallery Books), young dancer Olivia Dawson turns down the chance to study at Juilliard to care for her ailing mother in a poor Houston neighborhood. Events lead to Olivia discovering that the father she thought dead was instead alive, a powerful CEO who apparently had abandoned Olivia and her mother.
Billingsley's many novels for adults and teens often tackle family dramas and challenges, including ones faced by church families. She won a 2012 NAACP Image Award for her novel "Say Amen, Again." »Read Full Blog Post

Lou Reed dies at 71, was lead singer of Velvet Underground
New York — Lou Reed, the great punk poet of rock 'n' roll who profoundly influenced generations of musicians as leader of the Velvet Underground and remained a vital solo performer for decades after, died Sunday. He was 71.
Reed died in Southampton, N.Y., of an ailment related to his recent liver transplant, according to his literary agent, Andrew Wylie, who added that Reed had been in frail health for months. Reed shared a home in Southampton with his wife and fellow musician, Laurie Anderson, whom he married in 2008. »Read Full Article(20)
Bel Canto Chorus, MSO join for night of sacred music

Chris Tomlin shows his passion for Christian music
Chris Tomlin did the old "how many first timers? how many veterans?" audience poll at the start of his Milwaukee Theatre show Saturday night. Not surprisingly, the majority of cheers in the largely full theater were from the newbies. Tomlin's "Burning Lights," released in January, was just the fourth contemporary Christian music album ever to top the Billboard charts.
What's interesting is that, unlike fellow chart-topping Christian artist TobyMac, Tomlin went No. 1 while being far more explicit about God. Saturday's concert was even halted for a 40-minute sermon by Tomlin's pastor (and the head of his record label) Louie Giglio. »Read Full Article(4)

Looking for my first large scale model
Posted 13 February 2013 - 06:50 PM
I am thinking about giving a large scale model a go. What whould be a good starter model. Ihave around 100-125 for my first kit but i dont want to drop money on a kit that is troubled. things like what brands to stay away from or hey this is a real good one in your price range would be helpful
Thanks for your time
Posted 13 February 2013 - 07:00 PM
How large is large?
The 1/8 scale Monogram Corvettes, Big T, Big Deuce, etc. are all pretty straightforward, basically just bigger versions of 1/24 scale kits. They would make a good first big scale kit.
Posted 13 February 2013 - 07:04 PM
But i am not just limited to that size
Edited by lanesteele240, 13 February 2013 - 07:06 PM.
Posted 13 February 2013 - 07:21 PM
This one is still in the stores...
You can even download a PDF of the instructions to see if you would like the kit.
Posted 13 February 2013 - 07:37 PM
Any large scale Tamiya kits would be good, so I have heard
Posted 13 February 2013 - 07:53 PM
Gary, as Harry and Jonathan both pointed out, the Revell 'Stang is a great "late model" kit, and any of the Tamiya kits usually build up without too many hitches.
'Cept for the odd tweaking required for some opening panels, I should add. Only talking the Tamiya Datsun, cause I have 3 of them.
1/16 isn't a bad size either. MPC/Amt have several early to mid 70's Chargers, the DOH, a "72/3 street machine" and more recently the Petty Stock Car.
Posted 13 February 2013 - 08:10 PM
Greg brought a good kit , the Revell Mustang kit, every wip, every build review of the kit made me want to get one, that would be a good one to try out
Posted 13 February 2013 - 09:23 PM
Thanks everybody.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 06:18 AM
When you first look at the all the parts and the instruction sheet you will think "What have I got myself into?".
I promise you, everything fits so well that it is not hard at all.
I assume the other 1/12 Tamiya models would be the same fit and quality.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 07:11 AM
Posted 19 February 2013 - 05:59 AM
What type cars do you like ? Most of the more popular cars are out there in 1/12 scale.
Edited by Greg Myers, 19 February 2013 - 06:05 AM.
Posted 19 February 2013 - 01:55 PM
that hurts just seeing that lindberg fiat thing next to the tamiya Lola!
i didnt realize there was so much available in 1/12. but i guess its the japanese "de facto" large scale?
as for what to build, i think you answered it yourself with the mustang, but you gotta like what you build, dont you think? so it was kinda hard to give suggestions; i myself would have suggested the Big T or Big Deuce if only for all the kool bonus parts in both of them. but your tastes might have run total counter to that and maybe you would want to build the Lola or something.
have fun with the mustang, i couldnt follow exactly which one it is you bought, but i gathered it must be a current model like 2011 or something. will be interesting to see what big scale state of the art is today. i probably would have tried to get this one, but i have no idea what they go for, dont think i have ever seen one:

I'm guessing he got the 2010ish GT500 kit.
Posted 20 February 2013 - 03:23 AM
Ether way i cant wait to get a day off so i can ride down
That old mustang would make an awesome build. I will be looking out for one of those too
Posted 20 February 2013 - 05:47 AM
That old Shelby GT 350 has a reputation for being difficult to turn into an accurate representation. I think Hawk312 did a detailed thread on it here.
Posted 27 February 2013 - 07:52 AM
Hey Gary, right now the GT500 kit at Hobby Lobby is about $44.00 with the 40% off coupon. Bought mine yesterday!
Posted 27 February 2013 - 11:05 AM
Posted 27 February 2013 - 12:32 PM
It's not a bad kit, however I wish Revell would have added a bit more detail to complement the larger scale. Like most of Revell's kits though, it does go together quite well.

MyTurn said:
1) Could G-spot stimulation stimulate or encourage some nerve growth or improvement for my penis/non G-spot stimulation?
2) I haven't tried finger prostate stimulation to success yet. I reach some bulbous, walnutty thing, but wasn't aroused. More importantly, I didn't feel pleasure. Am I just incapable of pleasure full-stop - penile, prostate, anal, etc.
3) I live in the UK. I would prefer to buy this in a store. If I buy offline, mum might find the parcel first. Is the parcel discrete or does it have a big picture and logo?
4) What are some safe websites to buy the Aneros off?
5) Could I use the Aneros with a condom on it to save washing, I mean, washing poo off it sounds like drawback, or putting it down after usage until I can wash it. Where do I store a poo-smelling sex toy and hope I don't get caught, etc. Would the condom get lost during usage?
6) I am a newbie, so I need the MGX model?
7) I'm about 6 foot 3, so I guess there's longer to reach my prostate. Is that a problem?
8) How do you clean yourself before? I use wet cotton wool to wipe myself ANYWAY (OCD-ish), as it gets in the nooks and crannies.
9) If using the Aneros and you want to get out of the missionary (for example) position, to stand up, change position, go bathroom, or whatever, is it dangerous to still have it inserted? When is best to insert and take out? When can damage occur? What positions are no-nos?
10) At what time is insertion a no-go? What is the red light (except pain and blood! Long before that stage!)?
11) Does preparation kill the mood? I read that it is best to lay on your side and lube up. That means no touching your partner, or flipping between the two, and then easing yourself into missionary/doggie/cowgirl (can you DO or CHANGE to cowgirl?) without ripping something (see question 9).
Sorry for the long questionnaire. I want to get this as soon as possible. I want to try it out alone first. If it helps me, then I want to tell my gf about it and see if she doesn't break up with me and call me gay. I told her the male G spot was ..where it is, and she said that SHE wouldn't put any fingers up there, but wasn't disgusted with me or anything, I dont think. She also cums from hearing me cum coz for a while, I had an anorgasmia/anxiety/losing erection thing going on in the early months, so me cumming was "new" and "exciting".
I dream of us having long passionate Gspot (BOTH!) sex (with me having the Aneros in me). I guess I should affirm that to the Universe (I've tried positivity too BTW).
