I enjoy the bottle art of this beer.
The appearance is black. Black like tar. Even while back lit this beer is still dark. It has a nice head that lasts... I poured my bottle into a glass and left it on my desk for 20 or so minutes and it still has a nice frothy 1/4 inch of head.
I really need to read more, and smell more, when it comes to identifying aromas. The smell is not overwhelming in any particular direction... I want to say it smells of mocha, but I don't even know what that means! Mocha is in the name so I want to say that's the smell... It's, I guess, a balanced aroma of coffee without any strong smell of hops (the Kudzu Porter from Back Forty smells strongly of hops in comparison).
Someone more experienced than I can probably describe the complexity of the taste. The strongest is, of course, the mocha flavor... hints of chocolate... I find it absolutely delicious. They need to barrel age this stuff in Jack Daniel's barrels so I can contrast it with another local barrel aged porter that I love.
The mouthfeel is kind of creamy... thickish... but with a somewhat refreshing dryness to it...
Overall I love this porter very much. I expected I would from what I'd heard/read about it. I couldn't get it as a single from the liquor store so I had to get a whole six pack and I have no doubt that I will drink them all... maybe even tonight...!

I poured this from the bottle into a mug.
It looked great going in and had a good head, but it disappeared very quickly.
It smelled the part.
Upon first sip, I was a little disappointed. I picked up on a lot of carbonation and hardly any hint of mocha. I found it moderately bitter for a porter and not sweet at all, which is what I expected. However, I enjoyed it more as I drank it.
Could be a little creamier....I like a thick creamy beer.
Overall, it was a very good beer, and easy to finish, but if you really like porters but are looking for something a bit different, look elsewhere. This is just another good porter.

Poured into Guinness Pub Pint glass.
A: Pours a thick, deep brown, near black. Under light it shows a hint of amber. Thin 1/2 finger head of mocha color which dissipates quickly.
S: Roasty with apparent coffee and chocolate character. Medium hops seem to add some earthiness.
T: Strong coffee-chocolate flavors, but also with a touch of oats-flavor. Med-hop bitterness balances the roasted malts and keeps it more complex.
M: Medium to full bodied with low-medium carbonation. It drinks fairly robust and a bit of a creamy tail.
O: A hearty porter with strong coffee and chocolate character. The Mocha in the name leads you expecting a bit more chocolate and sweetness, but still an enjoyable and robust beer. Plenty of roasted flavors were apparent, but the oat after-taste was a nice surprise and seemed to hint of unroasted malts, even if not actually present. I would drink this again, but not at the top of the list in this style.

A - Poured from a bottle into pint glass, yielding a jet black, milky-textured liquid with a generous head which dissipated to about a half-inch in thickness, and retained well throughout. Moderate lacing left behind.
S - Notable coffee grounds, bitter chocolate, and roasted malts along with a touch of alcohol. Smells delicious and inviting.
T - Chocolate nibs are immediately apparent, followed by roasted malts and bitter coffee notes. Also, a touch of dark fruit on the back, and the slightest hint of alcohol warming as it rolls down the back of your mouth and into your throat.
M - Velvety, with moderate thickness. Goes down smooth, with some creaminess as well. I was very impressed with the mouth feel on this one, especially since it was poured from a bottle. I would LOVE to try this out of a nitro-tap.
O - One of the finest porters I've ever had. I highly recommend this one. Like a previous reviewer said, "There are good porters, and great porters." This one is definitely ranked as a great. Can't say I'm surprised, as Rogue rarely disappoints.

Presentation: On tap @ the Isaquah Brewhouse (Rogue), Isaquah WA...into a cone pint...
Appearance: Very dark brown with a clinging tan lace that seems to stay for a while.
Smell: Mildly sweet in the nose with hints of charcoal, roasted malts and a touch of hops.
Taste: Silky smooth with a nice medium bodied mouth feel. After the luscious mouth feel come the flavour which is quite malty ... light acidic twang from the roasted malts, a little dark roasted coffee/chocolate flavour and an underlying toasted biscuit taste are balanced with a perfect combo of hop and roasted malt bitterness. The lingering after taste is of faded burnt sugar, drying grain and a slightly warming alcohol. A wonderful yet delicate hop character helps to round this brew also.
Notes: Yum! There are good porters and then there are great porters ... this one goes down as a great one, no doubt!

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass on 18 Jan 13.
A: Rich dark brown with a tiny head that dissipates to a rim around the glass.
S: Coffee aroma is pronounced along with a big dark roasted malt backbone.
T: Some chocolate sweetness, a subtle coffee flavor, and a burnt roasted malt flavors as it finishes dry.
A: Felt a bit thin to me, average carbonation, and easy drinking.
O: Straightforward porter from Rogue that is above average.

Rogue Ales 'Mocha Porter' @ 6.0% , with a April29/12 production date , a 650 ml bottle purchased for $7
A-pour is medium dark brown with some ruby hues along the glass edge when held up to the light , also a good size off white/tan head that is clinging to the pint glass after every sip
S-hops not mocha/chocolate dominate , so hoppy it smells like a cascadian dark ale
T-slight hop bitterness at the start , a very bitter dark choclate , similar in taste to cascadian dark ale
MF-seems to be medium to high carbonation , medium body , pleasant enough on the palate if you know Rogue Ales
Ov-a bittersweet balance of malt and hops , key word bittersweet , not a true Porter more like a CDA

12oz bottle with no freshness info poured straight down into a Guinness nonic.
Extremely dark brown, where it almost looks black, but I can see light through the bottom of the glass. A dark caramel-like glow shows through. The head was huge from the pour, some three inches or more. Tons of sticky lacing and rockiness of the head as it slowly fell. Looks damn lovely.
Roasty and lightly creamy in the nose. Picking up some of those dark mocha notes. Mostly black coffee. Light cocoa powder dustiness. Earthy aromas rise up into the nostrils along with some mild hop presence. A little milder than I would have liked, but still an agreeable aroma.
Dark roastiness with mocha and cocoa flavors that dry up the palate. Almost puckering with a solid bitterness aided by pithy hops that feature nuances of pine. Earthiness is here, too, following the nose. Represented by ashy malt char, soil minerality, and a distant medicinal quality. The finish is a bit long with lingering hop bitterness and dry burnt notes. The burps taste pretty good.
Medium-bodied with some decently lively carbonation. Drinks with good speed, and the beer is at session strength, so that's a big positive. Feels pretty good, if not just a tad too gassy.
A nice American Porter. It's good to know that I can turn to this, and more often. Not gushing with the mocha notes, as you'd might expect from the name, but still solid.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Appearance- Opaque Black with a thin half finger of foam on top. Doesn't Linger
Aroma- roasty, chocolate grain, slight banana, earthy. I dont get hardly any coffee in the nose. As it warms I get more of a grassy hoppy aroma (not floral)
Taste- deep roast grain at the beginning some smooth chocolate and a slight coffee flavor in the middle with a sharper hoppy finish. I am not sure if this contains actual coffee. The hops are resin-y not unlike an Irish stout,
Mouth- it is silky smooth but also dry in the finish, I want this to have a fuller mouth feel, maybe lactose sugar, but that may take it out of the porter and make it more of a stout.
Overall- I like this beer because I think it is accomplishing a lot with just the grain. I don't know if it contains actual chocolate or coffee but The Term "Mocha" implies those two flavors, if not those ingredients. I like that attention is payed to the hops and keeps it all in balance. I would have this again.

Not really much of a porter drinker, but this one has me reconsidering my priorities. Really good. Pours dark like it should and really doesn't smell much of anything either. For the taste, the balance is terrific. Mouthfeel is good too. Like I said, for an IPA drinker, this one is better than just ok. A win.

Pours black with a head that dissipates but doesn't disappear. The smell is roast and coffee but not very strong. Taste of mild chocolate and coffee, dry fruit. Creamy with a mild bitterness. Thin feel, its smooth and easy to drink just to watery. Taste was similar to dropping a few ice cubes in a cup of coffee. A fine porter i just like mine more robust.

P- Thanks to my buddy Matt for this brew.
A- dark black and opaque and a frothy tan head that has a2 finger lacing on my pint.
S- choclolate and arak fruity esters with hints of sweet cream and espresso coffee.
T- Chocolate hits the palate in the forefront but then it tapers down to coffee and those dark fruity esters of grain. Very nice.
M- smoothest porter i have ever had. Very flavorful in the mouth. Not chewy but creamy enough. very well done
O- This is by far the best porter i have ever tasted and drank. I am not one for porters but i would have this beer again in an instant.

22 0z. Bomber poured into a pint glass at 45F.
A - Dark and opaque ink-black. Very little froth and it dissipates into nothing rather quickly.
S - Just as advertised. Strong espresso dominates, with sweet cream and chocolate in the background.
T - Overwhelmingly dark roasted coffee, some background dark fruit esters and a milder chocolate finish than I expected. Missing the sweetness also.
M - Its watery, kind of like drinking coffee again but it's less astringent. Just so-so for me.
O - I like this one, but I will admit that I also really enjoy my coffee several times a day. If those arent flavors one enjoys, this would be a bit disappointing from a porter standpoint.
Having now had both the Mocha Porter and the Chocolate Stout from Rogue, I prefer the Stout. It's a little sweeter which goes better with the flavors evoked.

Poured pure black with a foamy tan coloured head.
The smell is sweet malts and roasted coffee.
The taste of this is very strong mocha coffee, chile, sweet malts and some bitterness.
This beer is full bodied, slightly creamy and with medium carbonation.
I really like this, would be good for a desert, certainly pack a punch in the flavour department. One is probably enough though.

12oz bottle poured into a Lakefront Brewery pint glass
Appearance- Jet black in color with a finger and a half of mocha head that dissipates into a thin layer and stays that way throughout.
Smell- Getting lots of chocolate with a pine hop thrown in.
Taste- Lots and lots of coffee with a very slight hint of unsweetened chocolate. A tart hophits the sides of your tounge on the front end and then the coffee swoops in for the finish.
Mouthfeel- Very very watery. Reminds me of a watered down iced black coffee.
Overall- Im not a fan. More coffee then mocha. No real sweetness for balance. Good for any black coffee lover.

Dark pitch black color with a frothy head.
Very roasty aromatics with coffee ground scents.
Burnt coffee flavor is prominent, maybe a touch a dark chocolate as well. Fair amount of bitterness. Full body with a thick texture. Average carbonation with a long and bitter coffee aftertast.
This beer is exactly as the name says. Good one.

Pours a deep, dark brown (nearly black), with subtle ruby highlights. Average head, and minimal lace.
Nose is a little roasty. I get a hint of mocha, but it's not strong at all.
Taste is deeply roasty, with hints of dark chocolate, coffee, burnt fruit. This is a rich porter, definitely with a heavy character, and the mocha tones come out better as it warms a bit. Still, not a favorite of mine, and not one I'd care to try again.

A: Pours out a frothy, dirty tan head with the color and pitting of bubbling caramel. The beer is very dark, an opaque black, with only a faint redness at the ends of the glass when held up to a lamp. Deep and dark. The head fades quickly, after a few minutes, with very minimal lacing. 3.5/5
S: Pours tart, with dry, salty, smoky notes. Very pronounced sweet malts, minimal hops. 4/5
T: A very delicious balance, with many flavors poking out with each sip: tannins, chocolate, smoky hints, shaved wood, espresso, charcoal, and unripe fruit, etc. Hops in the background, well balanced. Finishes dry, with a mouthwatering creaminess. 4.5/5
M: Very drinkable, with a meaty, thick taste up front, which I love in a good porter, and yet it finishes dry and yet with a touch of lactose. Medium carbonation. 4/5
O: Not sure if there's lactose in this, or if it just tastes like there is; in any event, this is a fabulous porter: drinkable, dark and tannic but balanced and complex. The coffee/chocolate flavor is there but not slapping you in the face. I've had this many times (bottle & draught) and it's delicious by itself or paired. Tons of flavors that release as it warms up. 4.5/5

A 12oz bottle with no visible BB date. Picked up a while back from Great Grog in Edinburgh.
Poured into a Delirium chalice. A dark ruby-brown hue. Yields a large head of creamy tan foam that hangs around for a few minutes before reducing to a thin surface layer. Aroma of dark roasted malt with notes of chocolate, mild coffee, burnt grain, hints of dried fruit and earthy yeast. A whiff of sweetness. Surprisingly subtle - I was expecting a more in-your-face olfactory experience.
Tastes of dark malt with a burnt, roasted character and a dry finish. The flavour seems muted. Mild notes of coffee, chocolate, burnt grain, a hint of molasses, faint dried fruit and earthy yeast. Slightly sweet, with a twinge of acidity in the background. A restrained, dry bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, dry, tingly and a little oily. Body seems rather thin and insubstantial for the style. Somewhat astringent, with an aftertaste of bitter roasted grain and hints of chocolate.
Hmmm - I'm left unimpressed by this one. It certainly has hints of mocha and chocolate, but both aroma and flavour seem deadened and lacklustre. I was hoping for more intensity - perhaps this bottle is simply too old (hard to tell with the lack of dating). The body also leaves something to be desired; it's too watery. An OK beer that goes down easily enough, but nothing special. No need to seek it out.

12 oz bottle poured into a regular glass.
A: Pours a very dark red color. The head is a very nice two finger mocha (ha!) shade with great texturing and excellent retention.
S: There's a coffee - albeit slightly stale - and hazelnut quality to the aroma in general, and even a little bit of licorice. The aroma could be stronger, and as a point of nitpicking, slightly less vegetal as well.
T:The flavor is more coffee forward in general, from the starting flavors all the way to the finish. Problem is, just like the aroma, it seems awfully stale and vegetal. The said quality kills the finish with excessive bitterness. The hoppiness and roast don't really get along, either. Can't say I enjoy this one too much.
M: Airy and bone dry; normally, this is a quality I enjoy in my dark beers, but not when it's so dry it comes off as watery. A thicker texture (not to mention a bit more residual sweetness) would really help this out, but it helps make an otherwise mediocre beer more drinkable.
O: This is way too thin, bitter, and vegetal for me to enjoy this in any significant capacity. Needless to say, I won't be repeating this one in the future.

a classic porter in my world. i love this beer. it pours what appears to be a nearly black color, but upon a hold up to the light, a faint crimson fire is burning at the bottom, nearly extinguished. big bubbled tan head rests atop. the nose is bitter dark malts and fresh coffee beans, unbrewed. the flavor is really roasty, malt first. the mocha element is complementary only, dark cocoa and black coffee. its a nice mix, nice balance. feel is perhaps a tad overcarbonated. i like my porters mellow, so this might be a personal thing, but its borderline soda pop. still, velvety medium body, not heavy for a porter, and a sessionable alcohol level. really nice stuff, especially in fall time. might use this in my chilli next time i make a pot.

A- Dark brown, clear body with amber highlights. Medium thick head, little lacing.
S- Roasted malt, coffee beans, milk chocolate
T- Starts with some mocha-chocolate notes, ends w/a nice roasted malt bitterness that lingers for a while.
M- Slightly watery/thin. Not the best aspect of this beer.
Overall, a middle-of-the-road porter. I've had better, I've had worse. I prefer a more robust, thicker bodied porter.

IT TAKES LABOR, FUEL, OPERATING CASH AND INVESTMENT capital to produce and deliver electric power. Which utilities have managed to use these resources optimally to produce and sell kilowatt-hours...
News Digest
POWER PLANT SALE. Central Maine Power Co. has agreed to
sell its hydroelectric, fossil and biomass power plants totaling 1,185-MW of generating capacity to FPL Group, the holding company of Florida Power and Light. The sale price of $846 million exceeds book value and could permit up to a 10-percent rate cut for customers by the end of the year.
OHIO/TEXAS DEAL. Ohio-based American Electric Power
Co. and Texas-based Central and South West Corp. on Dec. 22 announced that they have entered an agreement to merge, creating a company with a total market capitalization of about $28.1 billion. The companies anticipate merger-related savings of about $2 billion over a ten-year period but estimated 1,300 out of a total of 25,000 domestic jobs will be lost.
CAJUN BANKRUPTCY. Entergy Gulf States has acquired the
30-percent share of the River Bend nuclear power plant formerly owned by Cajun Electric Power Cooperative Inc. Entergy now has 100-percent ownership of the plant. The acquisition was part of a larger agreement ending a series of disputes between the two companies that spawned litigation for eight years. Entergy Gulf States took title to Cajun's interest in River Bend from Cajun's trustee in bankruptcy, Ralph R. Mabey, at the direction of the Rural Utilities Service, formerly the Rural Electrification Administration, the major secured creditor in Cajun's ongoing bankruptcy case.
PLANS TERMINATED. Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. and
Potomac Electric Power Co. have terminated plans to merge to form a new company, Constellation Energy Corp. The two companies cited financial conditions imposed by the District of Columbia and Maryland commissions as reason to cancel their plans. "We have tried unsuccessfully to obtain reconsideration of these conditions," said BGE's Chairman and CEO Christian H. Poindexter and PEPCO's President and CEO John M. Derrick Jr. "But [we] now conclude that a favorable outcome cannot be expected within a reasonable period, if at all." The proposed merger also was plagued by lawsuits filed by union workers.
Power Pools & ISOs
NEW YORK POWER POOL. The New York Power Pool on
Dec. 19 filed supplemental information on plans by member systems to create an independent system operator. It has asked the FERC for approval by March 31, 1998, to allow the ISO to become operational by June 30, 1998. The proposal calls for use of locational-based marginal pricing for both electricity sold in the competitive spot market and for transmission service.
SOUTHWEST POWER POOL. The Southwest Power Pool on
Dec. 19, 1997 filed at the FERC its open-access electric transmission tariff, which would allow one-stop shopping for short-term firm and nonfirm point-to-point transmission service across seven southwestern states. If approved, the tariff would become effective in April, and would partly supersede present tariffs on file by member utilities. The tariff provides for rates designed on a distance-based "megawatt-mile" method, which establishes a link between the reservation, scheduling and compensation for transmission service and the anticipated impact of such service on the transmission system. In so doing, the megawatt-mile method replaces the present contract-path method and addresses rights to available transfer capability of the interconnected

I have been recently looking at the new toys and construction sets coming up this 2012, and I got to admit, I am looking forward to Hasbro's Battleship KRE-O theme than LEGO's Lord of the Rings or Monsters sets.
There is something that makes KRE-O special than LEGO as of now. Like the KRE-O sets reminds me of the set style that LEGO used to do back in 1999-2001. Blocky, but average simple fun designs in their sets. While LEGO has all these license themed sets and they seem to focus more the little accessories than the actual build itself, or doing to much than it has to be (For example: I prefer the Toa Mata sets over the flexible Toa Mistinka sets! LEGO is making the set too complicated than it has to be. Add more gears! Not joints!). Idk, it's just me. I think simplicity just make the building set seem like a charm. That is why I really enjoy playing my rokenbok set so much. It is simplistic, yet fun! I don't know about you guys, but I am thinking about getting this set when it comes out: http://youbentmywookie.com/wookie/gallery/...IKE%2038955.jpg |

KRE-O is crap. Lego > everything. Also both LotR and Monster Hunters look sweet. But I guess you need to be a LotR fan to appreciate the sets...
I bet those Kre-O things don't even stick together right, just like megabloks. They look like the same type of plastic and stuff. |

*Immediately focusses in* Oh, wait... Never mind. That could have been amazing though, right, Ria? And I'm with Xin. Lego copycats don't tend to have the durability or good piece-locking of Lego. As design goes, it's good, I suppose. But it's not like you can't make what you're looking for, right? That's the point of Lego: the sets are just a building suggestion. If you want geared models, what's stopping you? I'm pretty vehemently anti-Inika torso, so I built the sets I wanted. |

Eh well, it doesn't hurt to buy a KRE-O set. It might be cool and something new. I saw some video KRE-O sets reviews in "The Brick Show" (Youtube LEGO set reviewer) - and the durability is better than Mega Blocks. I also really like Hasbro's toy line, from Nerf Guns, to Bop Its, and board games. So I 'assume' that their new KRE-O toy line would have to be pretty good. Maybe, maybe not. :/
I really enjoyed Rokenbok's sets. But then again, it is a different type of building style. Hmm, ah well at least I can say that I bought a KRE-O set. I haven't bought one yet, because the transformers theme isn't really my thing (I don't like giant robots! xP ). Battleship isn't really my favorite theme either, but that Alien Striker is pretty cool looking. Reminds me of one of those LEGO Life on Mars sets (1st Mars gen theme).

Megabloks has significantly improved in quality over the years, and even has some halfway decent themes, so that could mean KRE-O is actualy decent. Then again the first and last time I intentionaly bought megablocks was 7 years ago, I hope they havent gotten worse since then.
That does look like a decent set, not much to my taste, but I see why your tempted to get it. There is plenty of merit for a LEGO Enthusiast to collect small samples of other brands, perhaps simply to see what it's like, to have something to talk about and show friends, etc. Plenty of MEGOblocks themes have caught my eye and left me wishing it was done with LEGO elements instead, like a few of their Bionicle spoofs, and particularly the Area 51 series they had. But...I tend to avoid clone bricks, I enjoy Knex though, for it's technical aplications, and share an affinity for Rokenbok like Mataro does, though mostly for the vehicles rather than the building side of it. |

"Irony?" / You mean Bionicle had giant robots? ...OH! They did have giant robots in 2010. Yeah, I uh didn't really like the storyline where it was going back in 2008+. I was following it loosely. I don't think I would consider Mega Blocks or KRE-O spin offs of LEGO though. It is like calling tinker toys spin-offs of Lincoln logs (yeah, uh, bad example. I was stretching it ). Oh! You know what I mean! I just want to try new stuff and voice my opinion on something after I tried it out. It's not going to kill me to try it out. Like I said before, Hasbro has a really good line of fantastic history of awesome toys from the past. Also I am more of a retro lego builder. I like things simple and fun. Like I really enjoy the aspects on this set, than this set. But that is just me. I like the little charm these types of sets has that made them so enjoyable. Also this review convinced me that KRE-O bricks shouldn't be over-looked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iMbPDYbcnw&feature=relmfu 9_9 I'll do a small review on this set when it comes out and its under 30 bucks. I'm mostly getting the pieces for the alien vehicle. Not so much for the Kre-ons. I wish LEGO would just make a theme called, "LEGO Classic" or something. Designing "Ye Old" set style like they did in the past. But I know that won't happen. This post has been edited by Matoro on Feb 16 2012, 05:29 AM |

It's not a spinoff - a spinoff is a licensed extra-bit thingy; BIONICLE was more akin to a LEGO spinoff. These (and megabloks) are ripoffs - barely legal, almost exact copies that should be burned.
Also, Megabloks has improved in aesthetic quality; Neoshifters were fantastic. That said, every one I own has at least one broken piece. And Rokenbok is hardly anything like LEGO, nor was K'Nex. I'm still pretty disappointed in them for stealing the stud thing... beside the fact that it should be illegal, it's just not k'nex. They had their own awesome style which barely exists in the newer sets. This post has been edited by Xinlo on Feb 16 2012, 07:10 AM |

Yeah, Knex's new sets are garbage compared to what they used to make. Honestly, how much of an audiance do they get with those roller coaster amd carnival sets to keep pumping them out year after year? As for the stud bricks they started making, it's my understanding they got The LEGO Company's blessing with the stud bricks because they made sure the studs themselves could be distingushed from LEGO's. Megablocks have actually been banned in some contries simply because they refuse to change the shape of the studs.
Also, remember those counterfit bohrok that were nothing nut exact clones in different colors with the LEGO logo's removed? I remember when a BZPer got ahold of one, by the time he had it built his hands were sore XD |

I liked the old KNE'X sets too. I mainly use them to build perches and playsets for my parakeets to climb around on. When I saw the "Mario Kart" theme made by KNEX, I first thought it was made by Mega Blocks, since they are trying to appeal to kids that are into video games such as Halo. Now LEGO following the "video game" market as well. They are going to release Minecraft LEGO sets. *sigh* the target market these days. It wasn't like it used to be. These sets are appealing to gamers, not really to the 'retro' peeps anymore. :/ I think Hasbro is going to follow the gaming market as well. Since they partnered with the company that makes [insertword]ville games on facebook. I am betting they are going to make a Kre-o farmville set in the future which would totally suck. But my guess is that Hasbro is going to do their own made up themes first, like G.I. Joe or My Little Pony. I know they are going to make the Star Trek theme (To compete against LEGO Star Wars) next, after Battleship. This post has been edited by Matoro on Feb 16 2012, 06:53 PM |

I saw some rumors online that Hasbro might do a Star Trek theme after Battleship in various Toy Fair videos from Hasbro representatives (or someone dressed as one). But I don't think it is confirmed, although I think its a good thought though, since the Star Trek and Star Wars MMOs made them somewhat "popular" again (I see those ads everywhere and some of my friends are talking about it. So I "assume" it must be popular that it made them bring back the themes :/ ). I'm not into that stuff anyways.
As for the 1 minecraft set thing: My response...: Oh, I did not know that. |

That minecraft set is looking tempting, but I imagine it's pushing an 80 dollar price tag.
There is a great deal of AFOL interest in star trek, but what I heard at a convention from a LEGO represnative seems to imply that Star Trek would conflict with having the Star Wars theme. |

Wait... KNex uses studs now?
Also, what are tinker toys and lincoln logs? I'm just an ignorant Brit, remember? What's wrong with appealing to gamers as opposed to... say... trekkies and Star Wars fans? It's a niche that the target audience will appreciate being filled. Also, you can only do so much retro. It doesn't get old quickly, but when it does...

Knex has augmented their linup with stud based bricks now, as one exanple the mario kart. The LEGO Company mostly complains when the studs are identical, which is why you'l notice that the studs have a plus shapped logo and some other oddities on them.
Licoln Logs kind of emulate old worl log house building, and are usually made out of wood. Either the Knex company has always made them or theyve bought the rights to make them now. ...moowahahahaha I seeee you. Tinkertoy is similar in nature to knex, using mostly a series of thin rods connected by wooden or plastic blocks with holes in them. |

I feel left out ;_; I don't use any of these swear words you speak of.
What are your all's thoughts on Christians "swearing"? I've actually pondered this for a while.
The way I look at it, I don't because I know my parents wouldn't really enjoy it. So while I'm under their roof, I need to respect their wishes. They do pay for me, after all.
I mean, sure, the bible does have stuff about corrupt language, but let's look at this from the 21st century. The words "hell" and "damn" are in commercials, something people of all ages watch, and nothing is really thought of it. So I don't really know if it is considered "corrupt". Because, by definition, corrupt is "to change from good to bad in morals, manners, or actions". Does it really apply to the 21st century as bad manners or actions?
My next point is that how different is it saying "I freaking hate" versus the other, obvious one. Sure, freaking isn't a "swear" word, but because sinning is "a condition of the heart, the mind, and "the inner man" ", how different is it? My Youth Leader and some other kids in the church have told me that this is incorrect, but I honestly think it's ignorance.
So I guess I'll be on here a lot more now that I have White 2. Wassup?
Hmm, language depends on the situation. I use a different language with my grandparents than when I'm with my parents/sisters, and something completely different when I'm with my friends, where I can be both be serious, sarcastic (some would probably say pretty mean, but it depends on the situation) to completely childish.
I wouldn't really swear much in front of my parents because it's really not a very appropriate way to articulate your point. With friends, or just alone, on the other hand, I don't really care much about it, and say whatever that's appropriate to the situation, really.
I don't see how hell is a swear word though. Or damn, for that reason. It's a bit different from fuckfucketytfuckfuckfuck, if you get my point.
As a former catholic, I say fuck that shit, homie!
Frankly I see nothing wrong with saying fuck, shit, bitch, bastard, etc. I reserve 'cunt' for special occasions. Swearing is only added vocabulary, sentence enhancers. I like to pepper my posts with bad language because it gives my posts some well deserved character.
I don't think a staunch Christian swearing is a bad thing, but people believe in different things and follow a different set of rules. So, swear if you want to. And if you don't want to then don't bow to peer pressure - stick to your guns.
I like swearing. Swearing makes me seem cool and approachable to others.
Hey Kyu!
Well, I only started swearing about a year ago, and I rarely do it. I only really swear when I'm very frustrated or stressed, because using words that society deem profane are good ways to relieve stress, in my eyes.
From a Christian perspective, I have a friend who will be entering Seminary after college, and she swears like a sailor. Now, this is a person who reads the Bible and interprets it on a daily basis as preparation for seminary school, and by her interpretation, swearing is absolutely fine. Not to mention that she supports gay rights as well, and actively tries to get Christians to interact with people of other religions. I think she'll make a great pastor.
I just got 22 likes from Avarus. XD
~~ℱℴrღαℓℓϒ ℸℎℯ ℸωίℓίℊℎℸ ķηίℊℎℸ~~
I am Catholic and I personally was raised to avoid swearing so I never really do it. There's a lot of verses in the Bible that says it's corrupt and harmful to the causes of Christ and it's hard to spread God's word if you use them. There are some situations where it doesn't fit to use swears too. I don't think it's necessary to use the F word in every situation you just to use the f-word or to curse in front of your family or grandparents.
That's just me though. While it may bother me a bit, if you're fine with it, do it.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Great nose of blueberries, spices and hints of walnuts. Full body, with a lovely finish of well-integrated tannins and a long, long finish. This is structured yet all in finesse. Best in years.

There is fine mid-palate density and excellent phenolic maturity to the large-scaled yet refined flavors that..
Cellar/Tasting Notes This is another astonishing effort from this small estate. The 2007 is one of the sexiest, most opulent yet powerfully concentrated wines of the vintage. There is not a hard edge to be found in this voluptuously textured, deep St.-Emilion. Abundant aromas and flavors of chocolate, charcoal,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A strong effort, the 2009 Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron is the softest of all Delas's 2009 Northern Rhones, offering up notes of black olives, lychee nuts, raspberries and black currants. This finesse-styled, elegant red should provide delicious drinking over the next 10-15 years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A big, powerful Margaux that should age for 20+ years, this inky purple-colored wine exhibits notes of spring flowers intermixed with blackberries, raspberries and cassis. Some lead pencil shavings and toasty oak are also present in this powerful yet at the same time very pure, textured,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A blend of 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, this wine, which is made under the administration of Hubert de Bouard, tips the scales at 14.5% alcohol.

Family Study of Lymphoproliferative Disorders

- How to Read a Study Record
Blood and lymph node cancers can begin in either the lymphatic tissues (as in the case of lymphoma) or in the bone marrow (as with leukemia and myeloma), and they all are involved with the uncontrolled growth of white blood cells. There are many subtypes of these cancers, e.g., chronic lymphocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Since there is evidence that these cancers cluster in families, this study aims to understand how genetics and environmental exposures contribute to the development of these cancers.

Sun State Roller Girls (SSRG) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to developing and promoting women's flat track roller derby. The league aspires to advance the sport by creating a community of skaters and volunteers.
Sun State Roller Girls was established in 2007 on Brisbane's south side and now has members from across Logan, Gold Coast and Brisbane. Training sessions for all skill levels are held at Browns Plains and Beenleigh and games (called bouts) are played in Beenleigh and Browns Plains.
While only women compete, both men and women are encouraged to become league members and contribute in a variety of support roles including coaching, officiating and volunteering. All SSRG members have a voice in the running of the league, which is overseen by a democratically elected Committee.
Sun State's achievements include:
• Becoming a WFTDA Member League
• Winning the 2012 Queensland Tournament - The Tropicarnage Cup
• Second place in the 2012 National Roller Derby Tournament - The Great Southern Slam
• Winning the first Queensland Tournament - The 2011 Tropicarnage Cup

One of the world's most acclaimed comedies, MASH focuses on three Korean War Army surgeons brilliantly brought to life by Donald Sutherland, Tom Skerritt and Elliott Gould. Though highly skilled and deeply dedicated, they adopt a hilarious, lunatic lifestyle as an antidote to the tragedies of their Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, and in the process infuriate Army bureaucrats. Robert Duvall, Gary Burghoff and Sally Kellerman co-star as a sanctimonious Major, an other-worldly Corporal, and a self-righteous yet lusty nurse.

My wife Judy and I are both retired and decided to see more of the world via our sailboat. What started out to be a one year circumnavigation of the Atlantic, turned into an eight year adventure. I kept a journal of our travels and this book is the first of probably three more books detailing with lot of pictures, our travels.

We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The nose is classic Cabernet Sauvignon from a cool region. Layers of intensely flavored ripe forest berries infused with tobacco leaf and cassis, with a hint of brooding cedar oak. The wine displays a fine expression of varietal definition from a challenging cool vintage that yields soft luscious tannins and a long fresh finish.
Ringbolt is made for immediate drinking though it will continue to gain complexity with cellaring for up to five years.
The wine would be well paired with flame grilled meats or Mediterranean cuisine.
Western Australia's rugged southwest coastline is littered with shipwrecks - the wreck of the Ringbolt being one of them. Sunk in the late 1800s in what is now known as Ringbolt Bay, located on the southern tip of the Margaret River wine region, adjacent to Cape Leeuwin. Defined by the oceans, the Margaret River region enjoys a temperate, maritime climate with high winter...Read More About Ringbolt
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon
