My second one in 15 years, fantastic
I just replaced my original after 15 years of 6-days per week service. This is the best bag i have ever come across and it is always the subject of discussion wherever i go. Well done OGIO.
By: Mike M
The ONLY GYM bag for me!!!
i have been using these locker bags for 25+ years, my first one was a nice teal/orange/ color. It was bright and lasted a long time until the zipper broke. My second was the newer style, didn' t last as long, but when you use them 4-5 times a week, they will wear. I bought a third/gently used, in great condition, the first style, and it is still going strong. This is the BEST bag for the gym, friends of mine now own them after seeing mine. Don't stop making these OGIO, but we could use some new colors, black is boring!

25 years old & still a great bag...
I have owned my locker bag for 25+ years.I purchased my oldest son a golf bag recommended by several friends as the most ergonomic, comfortable, functional and long lasting for the price. In addition, I bought my youngest son a backpack for the same reasons. For old times' sake, I looked at the latest locker bag. It is magnificent, however my old Ogio is still completely functional. The only part showing any age is the handle. Keep making them last or have a trade in program...
By: Patrick

Great bag.. just wondering why I cant find them in stores locally here in colorado now again.
Zipper broke but had it for about 8 years..

By: Brent C.
This is absolutely the best bag for daily use!! It's extremely durable, lasting for years!!!
By: Cat
excellent bag
I have had my ogio locker bag for about 25 years now, and I love it ! works well at the gym and for all other activities. I would highly recommend.
By: Danny B.
Great sturdy bag
My Under Armor bag tore near the main compartment zipper after six months. I only went to the gym twice a week. The Ogio locker bag is built to last and so far so good after a year.
By: Joe
Good bag
Good bag and fits nicely in the locker. The shelf system inside however rips easily and isn't as sturdy is it could be. Wish it were wrapped in something stronger and more durable. I have wrapped mine in electric tape.
Love the lock holder on the outside. Would love to see another design that could let you carry enough items to consider going from work, to the gym, then casual somewhere after.
By: C. Sanchez
You may want more than one
I have had this bag for over 5 years and love it. I love it so much that I a got a second bag, one for the gym and another for my swimming gear. It is perfect. I am a very organized person and it has a compartment for everything I need. No complaints. I gave one to a friend as a gift and he loved it as well. This is by far the best bag I have ever owned. I had 1 new bag every year until I found this one.
By: Cole
Awesome Item
I have had my black Ogio locker bag for 15 years. I show horses and have used the bag to take my hats - top hat and derby - safely in separated main compartment - or one hat and jod boots in lower compartment - with never any damage to contents. Riding gloves and misc. other items in all other compartments. Has survived many years of being shoved on horse trailers and semis and airplanes. Zipper finally gave out on main compartment probably due to dust/dirt and abuse. Thrilled they still make these. I checked two retail stores before I got online, so wasn't hopeful. I hated the prospect of having to buy a traditional plastic hat box with no storage compartments. Huge recommend.
By: Sean
Love this bag,
Best gym bag I've ever had! Fits in locker perfectly, love all the pockets and separate area for your shoes. Cost is well worth it. Wife thinks I'm crazy but if you spend a lot of time at the gym, like to be organized and like a strong bag, This is your bag!
By: Don K
Great bag, lasts a long time.
At the club today a gentleman ask about my OGIO locker bag. Told him it was a gift from my wife about 20 years ago, I have used it at least 3 times a week for all that time and except for the handle getting a little frayed it is like the day I got it. The guy said "I've got to have one of those". "Well I'm sure glad I have mine" I said.
By: Todd
The Best Above All!!!
I've had this very gym back since 2003 or so and it's as good today as it was then and it has been used like you wouldn't believe! I thought I would come back and see if there have been any upgrades, just to see. Well, I see it is still the exact same bag. I guess there is no point in changing something that works so freaking well!!! Buy it, you won't regret it and it will last you forever and take all the abuse you can dish it. I think what I love most is that it has a place for everything and everything has a place - no joke!
By: John G.
Great rc car tire bag
My boy races rc cars all over SoCal and we use all ogio bags and they are the strongest and coolest looking bags. The locker bag works great for our tires and special sauces and scrubbers keeping them all organized and ready to win. Thanks Ogio
By: lynn
Lasts forever
After 15 years of use and abuse it is finally time to replace my old OGIO bag. I am so happy they still make them. Can't wait to get my new bag.
By: Dan J.
OGIO Envy Over
I saw my friends Ogio bag and wanted one for Christmas. Santa was good. I used it today and it is so well made and well designed. I plan to have it for many years. Thanks.
By: Will S.
They last...
I have an Ogio locker bag that was given to me as a gift in 1990. I still have it, and use it, to this day. It has traveled to the gym, around the country and out of the country. It shows a little wear, but it's still in great condition. It's now retired to a fire station locker, but I still take it along on trips. Thank you for making such a quality product.
By: Sir H
What a great bag.
I have been a Fire Fighter for 24 yrs and have had a locker bag since. I take it to work, vacation, or over night to someone's home. It's a great bag for some one on the move, be it one day or months.
By: flyingscottttt
'bestest' bag ever!
Was given this bag as a gift about 10 years ago, and now buying a second one for use when traveling- it is PERFECT for the plane as when those 'men in suits' hog up all the overhead storage, this will fit nicely beneath the seat!
By: Audrey
Time for a New Locker Bag
I bought my first locker bag (purple and black colored) many years ago from a sports store for my 6-day a week workouts at the gym. It fit perfectly in the locker and has served me well throughout my many re-locations around the nation. I must have given it away during one of my moves, but I do remember it was in perfect condition. I'll be purchasing another bag; it keeps everything organized! Great buy and I recommend this bag to anyone. I am 49 years old 5'4" and never had an issue carrying this either by the handle or shoulder strap.
By: Jack
Terrific bag!
No question about it. I bought this gym bag more than 20 years ago and have used it consistently through the years - 5-6 days a week and it held up!!
It should be more available in retail stores. Simple, the best!
By: Angelo S.
10- star
I've had my bag since they first began and purchased it at Sports Authority. It has generated so much attention at the gym where I work out that 5 others have gone out and purchased one as well.
I've had to replace my bag a couple of times but needless to say Ogio has stood by their lifetime Guarantee and has replaced it with no hassle. I recommend this product to anyone who needs a workout bag. 10 stars!
By: Ardell H.
best carry-on ever made!
I have used one of these almost exclusively for the past ten years. It is hands down the best designed piece of luggage I have ever owned, I live out of the thing for 200 or more days a year.
Please never stop making them!
By: Robert C
Looooove it!
I am currently purchasing my 8th one of these bags. My wife and I love them for everything from the gym to emergency suppies kits in the cars and even traveling to the beach or the overnight trip someplace. We love these bags and will be buying even more of them.
By: Gladys
Best Gym Bag Ever
My first Ogio bag was replaced by the lifetime warranty due to the cracked handle and that was over 14 years ago after 5 years of usage. The second bag was stolen out of my car 8 years ago, the third bag is now being used by my husband and I'm about to order one for me again.
You do the math, they last and work well. The only thing I don't like or use is the comb or brush.
By: laura
Lucked out
Was at a check out at Goodwill and looked over and saw a uniquely shaped piece of what I thought was luggage. Took a closer look and realized it was for use in a locker. It was in excellent shape except for a little bit of color worn off the trim. Saw the reviews and very excited to take to the gym. Now I can get rid of all of my pain in the neck crumpled duffle bags and use this for travel as well. Thanks to this company for making such a great bad and thanks to the person who gave it to good will. I will not be this lucky again :)
By: RSL
Portable Closet
Durable and good looking quality bag that fits right into the locker. Able to carry everything I need for the health club. Wish it had wheels.
By: Robert O.
Tough Hombre!
I have had my athletic bag for more than 25 years and it's still going strong. Only now is the handle beginning to fray. So I've decided to get another!! Bravo!!!!
By: Steve R.
The Best!
I've had my Ogio Locker bag for 29 years and it is still going strong. The top carry handle has been cracked for about 10 years but is still together, so no big deal. I'll want to buy the newer model but then wonder, why get rid of the original when it is stil working well for me? I have used my bag at the gym, and always take it when I travel, especially for weekend trips. Fits in the overhead on planes, in lockers, behind the seat in my truck, on the motorcycle - Everywhere. It is my work bag that I take to the fire department also, and carry's everything I need for my shift. Yes, it's a little more expensive than some other bags, but well worth it. Do you really think a $20 bag will still be around 30 years from now? Another great feature of this bag is the rigidity. It holds its shape year after year and won't crush down. Now that I think about it, maybe I will buy a new one and donate my old bag to a friend - It still has a lot of years left in it!
By: Dr. Wayne M
Carry Handle Cracks
These Athletic bags last me about 5 years for the past 15 years. The carry handle cracks usually on the fourth year. Other Gym rats say that it happens on their Ogio bag also. People see my bag in my locker and they always ask me where I purchased it.
By: Adam S.
Ex Gym Owner says Buy the Bag
Well, after being out of the gym business for 16 years, my last Ogio (original SV locker with blue trim) bag's zipper finally gave out. Darn, darn, darn. Time to order a new one. We gave out hundreds of these bags as a "welcome to the club" gift from 1990-1996. I'm looking at the one with the broken zipper right now thinking about the best years of my life. By the way, I'm back in the gym twice a day training like its 1999! Enjoy life and stay fit!
By: Joe V.
flexible organizer
I like to carry everything with me for whatever workout(s) I might want to do at my local Y. The Ogio Locker Bag allows me to do that, and keep enough spares for things I might forget on a day to day basis. It's also really useful to keep the toiletries out of the way of everything else int he bag. A design change I'd like to see made is an expandable holder for a water bottle on the front or back
By: Eddie
One of a kind
I've also had a locker bag for over 20 years. Mine is gray with red trim. The design is similar still. why change something that works?! I checked this locker as luggage in the past and due to the baggage handlers tossing it about, it did get a little beat up on the outside cosmetically but the integrity is still going strong. I am a woman and I keep a lot of cosmetics and liquids in mine. Spills over the years wipe clean from the interior. I just bought a "Crunch" bag and I'm wondering why I didn't just use my locker bag!
By: Kerry
Best Bag!
I just received this bag as a gift. It is spectacular! I love most of the compartments (the shampoo/bottle areas are a bit too small), but the rest of the bag is great! And, yes...it fits perfectly into the health club locker!
By: Brad K. MI
Best Bag
I've had my bag for about 20 yrs. and it has held up extremely well.
Very compact and organized, and fits in about any locker.
I highly recommend this. Thumbs up !
By: Paul P.
I have had my locker bag for over 25 years and the thing will not wear out. The only problem is the main zipper it now sticks once in awhile.
I would tell you to get this gym and work it over.
By: Dennis S
Great Bag
I've had Ogio locker bags for well over 10 (ten) years and they are the best. I've had numerous people go and buy them just from seeing mine.......... great innovation.........

Iphone5 : purple/grey colors, then crash/restart?
I have a Iphone 5 16gb that has been randomly crashing: the screen first goes strange with purple & gray (almost like the display is on the fritz.) This last about a second, two at most, and then the phone goes black and restarts. I just tried a complete erase & restore from iCloud -- twice. Both times, the phone crashed with these symptoms just before I was about to enter my iCloud ID/password. I am a few days shy of 30 day return window. Any other suggestions or has these symptoms been reported before? I am suspecting a hardware glitch vs. software. thanks for any input |

Well looks like these crashes are registering as a panic.plist in crash log. From what I've read about panic.plist sounds like might need to have unit replaced.

Neverlutions: 7 Things Not to Do This YearHere's our list of resolutions to avoid—and what to commit to instead.
By Leigh Newman
Photo: Thinkstock
Never Resolve to Learn JapaneseOr French. Or Swahili. Sure, it seems like a good idea, sashaying around Paris for a romantic weekend, ordering this and that with le mot juste. And theoretically it's doable: Despite what you've heard, most linguistic experts say that adults can pick up languages as easily as kids; it's just that our methods are different. Kids learn by absorbing. We learn by analyzing, which means attending regular group classes, practicing with native speakers and sitting down with language CDs. The time and effort all that requires, though, can leave you burned out before you've figured out how to correctly place your first accent.

With a high caliber cast and a director like Anurag Kashyap, Gangs Of Wasseypur is an epic story of vengeance and revenge that spans generations in a small village in North India. Manoj Bajpai Richa Chadda and Mukesh Chhabra make up the star caste of the movie with each actor playing their respective parts with impeccable discipline and method acting. Director Anurag Kashyap has helped make the Action Drama Gangs Of Wasseypur more than just a story of crime and struggle and honor in Northern India, making it more about the story of the lives and loves of Sardar Khan, the philandering son of Shahid Khan.

Gangs of Wasseypur is a great movie in all aspects and I always wanted to grab its BluRay as soon as it releases.
Recently, I saw the DVD in a local store and couldn't resist buying it.
But, I was highly disappoint to find that the picture quality of this DVD is worst !! Frame is full of pixelation and not even good enough for viewing on a CRT TV. Dolby audio is also not upto the mark. I wonder how come the production house has approved this DVD ? Nobody should buy such bad quality DVD which is nothing but a hasty approach to encash the film's success.
We always expect some standard quality be it a CD, DVD or a Bluray...but DVD of GOW is a shame on its quality standards !!
Hope the production house listen this and improves the DVD quality and stops the current batch of Bad quality DVDs !!
I expect a early Bluray release of this great revenge saga with all sort of quality standards.
Finally some words...Anurag Kashyap's GOW is Bollywood's answer to Hollywood. Hats off!! No film buff can dare to miss it !!
This is the best it can get this year .. wish they had included deleted scenes etc in this DVD .. undoubtedly the finest performance from Manoj Bajpai .. the song in the climax is a fitting tribute to the Bihar ke Lala .. jiye tu hazaar saala.
very good music .. subtle humor in the screenplay .. fine use of music ... look forward to the 2nd part
Its a good DVD by print and sound. But does not contain Bonus DVD, which is disappointing for guys who would love to know what went behind making this movie. The only issue abut this DVD is the print at the starting credits of the movie,the print goes bad.
Else, its a good DVD for a good movie. Enjoy.

"Hello there! Welcome to the world of Pokémon!" These Role Playing Games, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, spawned a multi-billion dollar franchise rivaling the Mario series (which of course is also published by Nintendo), and indirectly caused the proliferation of Western broadcasts of anime along with Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon.Released in Japan in February of 1996 for the Game Boy, Pokémon (or in Japan, Pocket Monsters) came in two versions: Red and Green. The idea of the game is to run around and battle wild Mons with your own, catch them with hand-held balls, and teach them to battle (non-lethally) with each other under the guidance of human Trainers for fun and profit. The original idea was for an artificial form of insect collecting for kids that lived in cities and thus couldn't participate in such a hobby (as the original creator was a bug collector when he was a kid), with the paired versions providing incentive for players to get together and trade Mons with their friends (but more on that later).The strategy in the gameplay comes from two factors. First of all, there's an ambitiously large Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors setup. 15 (later 17, and now 18note ) different elements are in play, and some species of Pokémon belong to two elements instead of just one, which can neutralize or compound the elements' respective resistances or weak points. Pokémon aren't strictly limited to moves of their elemental type eithernote , but can learn almost any move the particular creature might reasonably be capable of executing (like Water Pokémon using Ice-type moves, or Dragon Pokémon using Fire-type moves), and sometimes ones they aren't (a plesiosaur-like creature learning to eat dreams and shoot lightning? Okay!).The second factor is the strict move limit: each of your Pokémon can only know 4 moves at once, out of a large movepool that they can learn from. This was hampered in the first generation by balance issues leading to some elements and species becoming obvious Game Breakers, but later generations have made many strides in balancing them out, most notably with the addition of new types: Dark, Steel and Fairy.The plot of each main-series game is typically a quest To Be a Master; the player is given one Pokémon to start their team with, then proceeds to take on the region's "Pokémon League" by catching new Pokémon, defeating other Pokémon trainers in battles (most importantly your childhood friend and rival), challenging type-specialist Gym Leaders and collecting Gym Badges, and ultimately battling the Elite Four to become the regional League Champion. During your journey, you also manage to single-handedly take down some kind of crime syndicate (and/or save the world) at some point along the way, and capture really powerful Pokémon that the local legends are based on.While these aren't necessarily the greatest stories ever told, the games are certainly enjoyable, especially if you have friends that also play the games. You see, the completion of the in-game storyline and Bonus Dungeons only comprised part of the gameplay. The real meat of the game (or as some insist, the only point of the game) was the one-on-one Competitive Multiplayer. Not only were the player's Pokémon usable against the in-game enemies, these same Pokémon can be pitted against Pokémon trained by other live players of the game. As such, players continued to train and catch Pokémon just so they have the best team among their peers. To further facilitate interaction between players was the fact that Pokémon can also be traded between games, and that certain Pokémon can only be obtained by trading. That was the rationale behind releasing different versions of the game, as each version had certain Pokémon that were exclusive to it, and trading was the only way to get those exclusives in the other version.To say that the brand took off like a (Team) rocket would be an understatement. Despite being a relatively young series, the franchise is the second best selling video game franchise of all time, by a wide margin note , and is only beaten by its older brother, the Mario franchise. Though it consistently has come close to topping it, Pokémon still has a way to go before it's the very best.The concept of Pokémon would not be confined to the Video Game medium. Merchandising sprung up all over the place, including, of course, an anime. The game series continued on with a third version, Blue, that mostly just improved the graphics and altered the distribution of the mons, which also started the practice of making a "Special Edition" game for each generation, with an altered Pokémon lineup, and special events and items.Yet after all this, it wasn't until September of 1998 that Pokémon made its way to North America and then the world at large. The world got two versions, labeled Red and Blue, which were pretty much the original Red and Green with Blue's better graphics. With so much time to prepare, the merchandising launch was all ready to go, and the games became as much of a smash hit in America and the rest of the world as they did in Japan. About a year later, a version loosely based on the anime called Pokémon Yellow was released, that featured now-mascot Pikachu as your starting Pokémon and even better graphics.Of course, sequels were inevitable, especially in the video game world. The next generation of Pokémon games, titled Pokémon Gold and Silver, added the two new Dark- and Steel-types mentioned earlier, around 100 more Pokémon, among other improvements. Most notably, the developers improved game balance; the Psychic element was no longer the ruler of the roost. Crystal came out soon after Gold and Silver and is the first game to allow the player to choose their sex; previously, the player's avatar was male-only. It also started the trend of each generation's third version having a noticeably different plot than the initial paired versions, by way of the additional minor subplot with the legendary Pokémon Suicune and its interactions with both the player and another Trainer that's been seeking it.Further sequels added their own wrinkles to the game mechanics among other minor improvements/adjustments: Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire on the Game Boy Advance completely overhauled the the way stats were handled and gave Pokémon special Abilities and Natures, as well as implementing 2-on-2 battles and introducing the concept of Pokémon contests. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl reclassified attacks as Physical or Special based on the nature of the move, rather than on elemental Type as in previous generations; plus new features allowed worldwide trading and battling over the internet, thanks to the built-in Wi-Fi hardware of the Nintendo DS. Pokémon Black and White escalated the multi battles by expanding them to 3-on-3 and introducing combination attacks, as well as adding new connectivity features. Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 marked the debut of several new Pokémon Formes and introduced two new gameplay modes to reduce or heighten difficulty. Black 2 and White 2 also brought about the Pokémon World Tournament, bringing back every single Gym Leader and Champion from preceding Pokémon gamesnote , as well as a few Bonus Bosses to challenge the player. With the release of Pokémon X and Y, the main series has now gone full 3D with cel-shaded graphics on the Nintendo 3DS and are the first games in the series to be released internationally at the same time worldwide.X and Y also brought new temporarily-activated Mega Evolutions to the table, altered type matchups with the first new type introduced in over 14 years (the Fairy-type), added new status-related perks to Grass-, Ghost-, and Electric-type Pokémon, modified character/item name limits with much-appreciated increases, heralded online Pokémon cloud-computing storage with Pokémon Bank, and pioneered the game-changing advent of dual-type moves.You can visit the official website(s) (Japanese; English/Worldwide), as well as the official YouTube account (Japanese; English), Twitter account (English), and Facebook account (English). See also Game Freak's official website (here, in Japanese), and Junichi Masuda's blog (which contains content regarding the Pokémon series — Japanese; English).You can get the "é" symbol by holding down "ALT" and keying in "0", "2", "3", "3" or "1", "3", "0" in that order on the numerical pad to the right of the keyboard. For some keyboards "CTRL-ALT-E" works too (though others may end up with the Euro symbol instead). If you are using British keyboard layout, "ALT GR-E" will get you it (but it only works with the right hand key marked ALT GR). For Mac users, hold down option-E, then type an E. For iPhone, iPod touch and Android users, hold down on the letter E to get the option. If none of these options work for you, type into Google "e accent" or simply "pokemon" and copy-paste the character. And of course, if you are a native speaker of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, Czech, Lakota, etc. or have your keyboard set to the U.S. International layout, it's a lot more simple than that.— Professor Oak, Pokémon Red and Blue Video Games

Would you like to buy a 2009 Mini-Cooper worth more than $20,000 for just $10,300? My guess is that many of you would jump at the chance to get such a great deal. Would you wire $5,000 as a down payment to an auto dealer you found on the Internet to hold the Mini-Cooper, with the balance to be paid when it's delivered or you pick it up? My hope is that most of you would know better. But not everyone does. The FBI issued an alert in August about online auto scams. From 2008 to 2010, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center received nearly 14,000 complaints from consumers who were victimized or at least targeted by these scams. Total dollar losses were nearly $44.5 million.
The BBB is warning consumers to beware of phony online used car dealers like Edward American Cars and Quick Auto Sales, which advertised deeply discounted cars online.
Driving a car fueled by something other than gasoline or diesel fuel is no longer the stuff of science fiction. In addition to conventional gasoline and diesel fuel, reformulated — cleaner — gasoline and alternative fuels now are sold in many parts of the country. Alternative fuels such as methanol, ethanol, compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and electricity produce fewer tail pipe pollutants than conventional gasoline and diesel fuel. Using them could improve air quality.
If you plan to travel overseas and drive while you're there, it's a good idea to get an international driving permit (IDP) to accompany your U.S. state-issued driver's license. But make sure your IDP is from one of two associations authorized to issue IDP's in the U.S. - the American Automobile Association (AAA) and the American Automobile Touring Alliance (AATA). According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, IDPs sold and issued by any other organization to U.S. residents are bogus and could cause problems with local authorities if you are caught driving with one.
Buying a car? You also may be encouraged to buy an auto service contract to help protect against unexpected, costly repairs. While it may sound like a good idea, don't buy in until you understand both the terms of the contract and who is responsible for providing the coverage.
Many new car dealers advertise unusually low interest rates and other special promotions. Ads promising high trade-in allowances and free or low-cost options may help you shop, but finding the best deal requires careful comparisons.

A federal judge in California has knocked down the state's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, ruling Wednesday that the state's controversial Proposition 8 violates the U.S. Constitution.
Comments (Page 8,390)
Judged: 8 8 8 |
Judged: 8 8 8 Are you going to have another cute little meltdown tonight hater? |
Judged: 8 8 8 Why are you so mad? |
Since: May 13 2 |
Judged: 7 7 7 There is a part of me that completely agrees with your "why vote?" attitude, but upon deeper reflection I think that while it is good for the majority to have their voice, it doesn't necessarily mean that the majority is right, and that is where overruling, such as this, comes in. In the 1800s, the majority felt that slavery was perfectly fine, since THEY were not the slaves. In the 1950s and 60s, the majority felt that blacks should be educated separately (and NOT equally) to whites. On playgrounds at schools throughout the country, a "majority" of kids might "decide" not to let little Jenny or Johnny join their game because they are different, or "gingers" (red-haired), to talk with a lisp or accent. The majority is often wrong. That is when a courageous minority must stand for what is ultimately right. My particular stance on this whole issue is: if you don't believe in same-sex marriage, then don't marry someone of the same sex. Period. Why does what I do with my marriage somehow affect yours? Only those with low self-esteem give a crap about what someone else has, does or is. Live and let live. When no one is being hurt, let's stay the hell out of other people's business. I DO understand the whole frustration with a vote being overturned, however, and it is a bit hard to swallow. But that is how a democracy works. There are checks and balances that seem to keep everything working towards a common goal of democracy. At least I hope so. |
Judged: 7 7 7 My god but you are one ignorant lying hater! I'm betting that you have brown eyes and that would explain that you are full of shyte all the way up to them! Reparative therapy simply does not work and the vast majority of psychiatrists and Psychologists highly recommend against such bogus,useless therapy as it can cause great harm to the patient! The very few who claim that it did work are simply in denial and are merely celibate which is not being cured LIAR! Lets see what the experts actually have to say on the subject and it is the complete opposite of your B.S.! Reparative therapy,does it work? The answer is a simple NO as being gay is an innate condition that does NOT need to be changed! From the APA! http://www.apa.org/pi/lgbt/resources/sexual-o... Also..... http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/08/05/gay.to.s... Or..... http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2000-0... |
Judged: 6 6 6 I dont think he is the one that need therapy. The majority of molesters of children are heterosexual, profess to be Christian, and within the family of the child. People that ignore this fact, are people that dont care about molested children, that only want to use those children for political gain. |
"Vita e' Bella." Since: May 12 8,264 Location hidden |
Judged: 7 7 7 This is what the people voted on, not once but twice. "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." Very simple.....they voted on the definition of marriage. That's it! No rights, or slavery, or majority/minority...... Why is it so controversial for society to have, recognize, privilege, marriage as a union of husband and wife? Because a minority within a sexual minority want their personal intimate same sex sexual relationship called "marriage"? |
"KiMare'a the Monster Mutation" Since: Nov 10 22,091 Location hidden |
Judged: 10 9 9 I know you don't like the specifics being pointed out, because it exposes once again the vast distinction between marriage and an imposter defective relationship. Any direction logic goes with gay denial requires a distortion of words. You can pretend all you want, but intelligent, moral people are only insulted by the ignorance you are trying to perpetrate. Smile. |
Judged: 7 7 6 Dont worry if the supreme courts gets it wrong, they will be voting on it again, and prop 8 will perish in a walk |
Judged: 8 7 6 Sup D? The bible thumpers still confused??? |
Judged: 8 7 6 They have been explaining to me how clueless they are lately. Several of them have absolutely no idea that a majority of voters support same sex marriage in the US. I can only imagine they are standing around slack jawed not comprehending why all these changes are taking place. I cannot imagine being that misinformed |
Judged: 8 6 6 The fact that belief in a magic tree, talking snake and a rib woman is a fantasy delusion that distorts peoples moral views is very apparent, it is long past time people stop believing in Santa and grow up |
Judged: 5 5 5 Shut your ugly pie hole Bill! You need thorazine! A 55 gallon drum! Administered anally! The nurse is ready with your anal purge! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! |
Judged: 7 6 6 Yes, you are still confused Jizybirdy. Check back often for updates. |
Judged: 6 6 6 That's because you are stupid and have no imagination. |
Judged: 6 6 6 Magic snakes, talking trees and ribs are not off topic but poly MARRIAGE is? |
Judged: 6 6 6 |
Judged: 7 6 6 |
Judged: 6 6 5 Put simply, if heterosexuality is no longer legally, morally or socially relevant to marriage, why should monogamy continue to be so important? P.S. I am posting about marriage equality which is NOT off topic like magic trees, ribs etc. that Big D harps on and on about. So hold the whining. |
Judged: 6 6 6 So why is polygamy illegal? Why dont Mormons have the right to enter into multiple marriages sanctified by their church, if not the state?

NOTE: This is a "Winter IPA" as per CBC's website, not an American Strong Ale as the BA profile states. I've reported this update and hopefully it will get corrected.
Appearance: Pours a deep copper to deep iced tea color with a rocky yet frappy (making up words now!) 2 finger slightly off white (buttery) crown that displays moderate retention and good lace. This unfiltered beer remains crystal clear.
Smell: Nice rich caramel notes and fruity malt notes counterbalanced by Columbus, Cascade, Centennial, and Amarillo hops.
Taste: Same as nose. Very balanced. I'd give it a 4.3 if I could so I'm rounding up a bit. So flavorful despite the 6.8% abv. Nice amount of smooth bitterness in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability: All day and all of the night.

Growler purchased at the brewery.
Poured into a pint glass. Copper / amber body with a big off-white head. Piney/citrusy hop aroma. Some sweet caramel malt aroma as well. Classified as an American Strong Ale, but smells more like a malt forward IPA. Flavor is focused more on the malty sweetness and more of a florally hop flavor. Moderate carbonation and medium body. Very drinkable, "sessionable" ale.

Received from Dr. Dogbeer in the Growlerhog edition of Growling at the Moon. Thanks!!
A - Beer color is somewhere between copper and brown. Looks like a glass of iced tea. The pour from the growler creates a pretty fluffy head that leaves a good amount of lacing.
S - Some malt and some more hops. Not a bad smell, but nothing extraordinary either.
T - Overall very balanced from start to finish. I really enjoyed the beer and the taste, but just like the smell nothing jumps out and says look at me...or in the case taste me.
M - Medium bodied with carbonation that stings the tongue a little at the end, but generally good.
D - Despite not being blown away by the taste or smell. I really liked this beer and it was easy to drink. I would drink this one regularly if I had access to it.
Thanks again!!

a: Big Man is a hazey caramel brown color with a few floaties thrown in. It pours with a medium light tan head; decent lace.
s: Big aromas of pine, molasses, brown sugar, and vanilla. Smells fresh and inviting.
t: This has the big piney hop profile of an east coast DIPA, but without the obnoxiously sweet malt backbone. Instead, the malts provide a moderate balance and taste of molasses and maple syrup.
m: The body is crisp and abrasive, with lively and lush carbonation.
d: Huge thanks to DrDogbeer for the chance to try this fantastic brew. I love a fresh, agressively hopped beer like this! I'm almost sorry I shared this one.

Growler from the BP; served in a snifter.
Pours a hazy caramel but settles to a much darker, nearly opaque molasses. Creamy, faint off-white head that clings to the snifter's sides and settles as a milky, bubble-filled sheet. Pindrop lacing with good strength.
Grapefruit and peach notes of sourness; hop resins abound with lots of bright pine. Mild touches of semi-rich caramel in the background. Whaffs of fresh bubblegum.
Burnt floral hops with an intense presence of pine and spruce. The hop character is juicy and oily. The tartness in aroma is nearly absent in the flavor, and is replaced by a slightly buttery, toasted maltiness. Earthy flavors and hints of caramel follow a rough, hop-intensified bitterness.
Almost full in body; creamy, smooth; yet filmy due to to the intense hop character. Very mellow despite some big flavors.
A dynamic and complex ale more reminiscent of a malty IPA. Smooth and unencumbered; thankfully, I chose a growler!

Reviewed from notes last week at CBC.
A- Dark red body that allows almost no light to get through besides at the edges. Poured into a goblet from the tap and a one finger, off-white head forms atop the beer. Decent retention anda small ring leaves drizzle and spotty lace.
S- Fairly bright hops off the top bring a mix of tropical, pine, floral, fruity, herbal and spicy hop notes. Substantial malt balance with tones of cereal grains, nutty, toast and just a bit of yeast bread in here as well.
T- Malts open up nicely even for an IPA and balance out well with the chosen hops. Hops have a lot of pine and resin feel although there is some grapefruit, floral and earthy/spicy characters. Malts are as in the aroma and balance out the hops just about in equal strength.
MF- Creamy and frothy moderately bodied IPA. Carbonation is at a medium level and the overall texture is smooth. Medium bitter finish. Works with the flavors present.
Good balance of hops and malts with pine and toasted grains joining together. Mouthfeel is my favorite part and helps the flavor shine.

An IPA that is big on brown malt and hops, sort of in the early west coast style. I suppose a winter IPA should be darker and maltier rather than light and refreshing. I found this beer drinkable, but my overall impression was that it was sort of a harsh combo of hops and malt.

I've enjoyed every one of the beers I've tasted from Massachusetts' own Cambridge Brewing; glad this one showed up at the bottle shop. Cheers!
Bottled 12/27/2013, about a month and a half before the date of this tasting.
A: Burnt-orange body, slightly hazy, with a thick, foamy head of beige soap bubbles. After about a minute of fizzing and popping it's down to a half-inch of retention, though some chunky lacing is left in the wake.
S: Well balanced hop and malt complexity gives this nose a deep character, with strong tones of oily, resinous pine weaving in and out of a thick vanilla and caramel maltiness. These two hefty tones play well off each other, as do some supplemental notes of citric hops and fruity cereal (think Fruity Pebbles) from the grain bill.
T: I'm getting the fruit character much more pronounced here than in the nose, especially seeing as it's the first thing I can taste: notes of grape, melon, and apricot, like what you'd get from a hoppy wheat beer (here's looking at you, Gumballhead). But what comes next is a subtle malt palate that comes off with an earthy, inoffensive sweetness, a nuanced blend of vanilla icing, cinnamon pastry, and pecan. Finishes with a bright citrus flavor, moderately dry in a lemony hop fashion.
M: Outstanding – the foamy carbonation seen on the first pour provides a wonderfully drinkable froth to the body, a texture that's enough to set this beer even further apart from your standard IPAs. Light-to-medium body.
O: It's unfortunate that this beer comes in nothing but a relatively expensive bomber; price and package it like Two-Hearted and this would be a go-to. As far as IPAs within this palate and ABV range, it might even beat out Torpedo – and that's saying something.

Poured from the bottle a deep mahogany color (very dark for an IPA) with one finger of rich ivory head. Sheets of sticky lacing left behind.
Faint aroma of ripe fruit, bread, and caramel malts.
Tasted of citrusy orange and ripe fruit with a caramel malt backbone. Finished with a tinge of bitterness.
Medium bodied and sticky with a moderate carbonation.
A much darker and maltier IPA than I expected. It's good but not great.

First had: on tap at CBC
I was kind of thrown off by this one. Poured a clearish darker amber color with a white ringlet. Aroma was oddly dominated by sweetness, caramel malts, a little brown sugar, with some herbal and floral hops notes in the back seat. Similarly, the taste was fairly sweet, caramel malts, and light fruit essence up front, nearly making me doubt this was a DIPA, followed by light herbal and citrus hops. Hmm. Body was medium and a bit chewy, not exactly what I expect for the style. And at less than 7%ABV, this came off more as an APA or even a beefed up amber ale than an IPA of any kind.

Poured from the bottle into a standard pint glass.
Pours a clear copper color, darker than most ipas. Smell has some sweet fruity notes along with malt to back up the hops. More hops in the flavor, but the fruity malt backing up the hops really makes the flavor. Grapefruit hop bitterness in the finish. The head leaves nice lace on the glass.

Big Man IPA pours a clear, dark copper color with a moderate, creamy head on top. The foam leaves a fair amount of netted lacing on the glass.
The aroma is faint and is on the malty side. It has notes of caramel malt, rye bread, orange/grapefruit citrus and some tropical fruit.
Each sip of this medium bodied beer is creamy with soft carbonation. The flavor is begins with caramel malt, a touch of bread, and a little dark fruit (red grape?). The malt is complimented with some pine and citrus hops and a bitter finish. Once gone the caramel and bitterness lingers on the palate.
This beer was more malty than I expected. It's tasty and easy to drink and would go great with a burger.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Appearance: A pretty dark color for an IPA; dark orange/rusty copper with great lace and a solid, retentive cap of off-white foam
Scent: Citric rind and caramel malt wrap around a revolving cast of wooden scents, sweet honey, fresh bread and some light fruity esters
Taste: Though the palate is shocked and numbed by bitter hops (mainly C varietals, mind you), malts are complex, vibrant and strong
Mouthfeel: Carbonation is middling, tending towards passive but never completely unengaging. An interesting body allows this to stand out
Drinkability: Not amazing but pretty satisfactory. There's solid balance but also some very strong, periodic pulls in different directions that let it down
Overall: A pretty great "Winter seasonal IPA" from a fantastic brewery, Big Man occupies a space that is at once very necessary and yet utterly unsupported; Winter IPAs are a style that should be easy to recreate but which are often left behind for more marketable varieties such as warmers. I applaud CBC for sticking to their guns even through their bottling operation and creating large format bottles of beer for those who would wait out the cold season in hoppy, bitter and balanced style.

Bottle from Reagan1984. Served in a Half Acre pint glass. Batch #1 from November 2012 - unclear when, but this is at most 2 months old.
A - Two fingers of off-white foam settles to a thick cap, leaving behind a few stray splotches of lace. Very, very dark for an IPA; a transparent deep amber body with a few stray bubbles moving upwards.
S - Fairly malt-forward, with red fruits, caramel, and crystal malt immediately apparent. Hops are pine and herbal, with a touch of citrus zest in the background, and they grow in intensity as the beer warms up.
T - The taste has a bit more biscuit and toasted malt to it, and isn't as sweet as the aroma. Hops are earthy and piney for the most part, with a touch of grapefruit. Bitterness is somewhat intense, and while it doesn't bother me I can imagine it laying waste to less acclimated palates.
M - Zesty and somewhat harsh carbonation. Medium body, fairly smooth and chewy once you get past the bubbles. Finish is toasty and dry, and there is a touch of residual oily hops. There's also a bit of alcohol warmth that is surprising for a 6.8% beer.
D - To be fair, the bottle states this beer is 'big and malty', so it's not a lack of brewing ability here. This is an extremely retro American IPA, that verges into American Strong Ale territory in the vein of Arrogant Bastard. This wasn't at all what I was expecting, but it was still relatively easy to finish the 22oz bottle.

A: dark amber color looks dark for an ipa with a tan white head
T: smells how it looks with a ton of malt in the smell toasty with no real hop smell
S:again following the nose and look it is a malty ipa not a malt bomb though so it wasn't too over powering but there is really no hop taste so I can't say it's well balanced
M:it is slightly oily with a light carbonation and goes down pretty easy
O: I don't like malty ipas this one isn't the worst I've ever had but I didn't like it IMO hops need to at least have a present in ipas but if malty ipas are your thing go for it

Reviewed 12/30/12, post delayed due to site maintenance
Note: Batch 01, Nov 2012
Appearance: Somewhere between dark orange and light amber - very clear - pours with a small, off-white head - leaves a nice web of lacing
Smell: Caramelized malts, citrus, and pine - nicely balanced - light amber and pale malts, with crackers and biscuits - big, yet non-aggressive hop profile, with grapefruit and orange flesh, and pine needles - very floral, clean, with a touch of malty sweetness
Taste: Balance, glorious balance - smooth orange and grapefruit flesh, with a touch of oily zest - above-average pine character, with some resin and pine needles - very, very floral, and the medium level of bitterness is tempered by an excellent malt profile - crackery, biscuity - lots of caramel and a touch of toffee - lightly sweet, works very well with the level of hoppiness - fantastically balanced, even in the aftertaste - clean, refreshing
Mouthfeel: Medium body, very smooth, low carbonation, highly drinkable
Overall: Big Man, Big Win
This is decidedly not a hop bomb. Instead, this is an extremely drinkable, extremely balanced IPA with a lot of charm. This reminds me of some lovely IPAs brewed in the Midwest. The bomber was easy to finish, but I know I would buy a lot of this if it came in another format. Obviously, tallboys.

A-Big Man pours a dark copper color. Body of the beer is extra clear. Slow bubbles lazily rise to the odd head. Head is an odd consistency. Wet and suds but quite thin. It leaves near solid lacing that seems to dry and stiffen along the glass.
S-Well balanced is the first thought that crosses the mind. The hops are big and incredibly perfumey. Smells a bit like cream soda in an odd way. Lighter notes of candied citrus and pine needles. Malt is toffee and caramel. Quite sweet but definitely unique. Caramel dipped flowers.
T-Very malty at first but then a slicing axe of pine and grass amputate the malty limbs. One of the most blatant and extraordinary flavor shifts I have experienced. Just sweet bread and caramel and candied treats followed by a rushing wave of bitter hoppiness. Quite cool. Florals come out too. Damn that flavor evolution really caught me off guard. Its as if my tongue was the catalyst for some sort of dramatic chemical reaction.
M-Resiny and full on the palate. Soft carbonation. Almost feels like it was casked. The heavy maltiness thickens the body as well. Substantial bitterness. Light twinge of alcohol.
O/D-Definitely unique! I would have to be in the mood for this to try it again. A great IPA for the cooler months. A bit too balanced and the hops aren't really on my side of the spectrum but this was definitely worth it. In a world filled with too many boring IPAs this one really deserves points for its individuality. Cambridge Brewing Co. makes awesome beer; thanks for bottling it guys.

Thanks to wobblymailman for this one!
Served in a snifter from a 22 oz bottle labeled batch 01 NOV 2012
Appearance - is a darker amber brown with a light white head.
Smell- right off there is a sweet malty scent that is masked with a some what of a alcoholic ester and with a hop overtone.
Taste- is relatively mostly of a sweet malt character with a big hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel- more of a medium to light medium feel.
Overall- a sweet malty ipa similar to trying a ipa that has "aged" but in a good way (not that you want a aged ipa) less hop smell and more malty taste something that would be suggested for someone just getting into craft beer. A great beer nonetheless! First from CBC

Pours a creamy off white 1/2 finger head that fades at a med pace, some lacing, over slightly clear darker cranberry mahogany burnt-sienna color.
Nose is very nice, a nice citrus cuts right through, with a bit of a tropical fruit juicy aroma, hint floral grassy hops, etc, then a big malty base aroma, sweet candy malts, caramel, toffee, etc, leading to a light candy hop like aroma. There is also some light pine and spicy hop character. Lots of hops, and as it warms a sweet nutty caramel candy aroma really comes through, lots of toasty sweet amber malts and more earthy hops.
Taste starts with a sweet malt at first, sweet candy, caramel candies, toffee, little amber malt, etc. Which leads into hops eventually, so first comes the candy hops, light candied orange peel hop, before it quickly moves to spicy hops, some pine and chewy hops, with a fair bitterness. The bitterness ramps as it goes but is balanced well by the sweet big malt flavors. Light citrus in the background, with no fruits otherwise this time. It brings some grainy malts towards the finish as well, before the malts just drop off the face of the earth on the finish. It doesn't really get very dry, in fact a little sticky still, but dries enough so the hops and bitterness explode, more pine, citrus, earthy spicy hops and lots of bitterness lingering for a while, with just a bit of candied hops.
Mouth is med to fuller bodied, nice carb, a faint hint of background warming booze.
Overall pretty nice, a renewed effort of what East Coast IPAs are, with just a bit of a west coast touch. Although, East/West coast IPA styles are starting to disappear, this is more of what the classic East Coast was with a nice hop flavor and bitterness, mostly earthy spicy pine and a bit of citrus, with a big malty sweet balancing candy flavor. Long bitter finish, tasty but a big beer at the same time. I almost want a bit more booze in this one as it seems it will have it but never really comes. Would like to try this on tap sometime.

Modest head but it leaves substantial lace. The color is light brown and is nearly clear.
Great blend of deeper, darker malts and lightly floral hop. Inviting.
Comes across as a more toasty, slightly burnt, form of of the IPA style. This may be the darkest version I've ever had. Not quite an overhopped Porter, but close. Plenty of hop bitterness, but it isn't too strong. The body is accurate for the style--the carbonation elevated slightly. Overall, this is a complex IPA with an unusual roasted malt base. Worth seeking out.

Neat little find on a local shelf. Didn't even know this was out there. Bottled November 2012.
Pours a hazy, deep amber color. Totally unexpected. Gorgeous pour, just really surprising.
Aroma reveals big malt presence here. Sweet and spicy, a little like General Gau's chicken. Wipes out any hope presence in the aroma. Although, there is a touch of mango or something citrusy, which contributes to the Chinese food impression.
The taste is certainly not a traditional, by-the-book IPA, but it's got something going on. Huge, biting malts, that are a touch metallic on the finish. A bit like biting a penny, but reasonably tasty, if that makes sense. The real cool part about this beer is the amazingly piney hops. They would be a bit harsh without the substantial malts, but this flavor profile is interesting, unique, and quite a wallop.
The flavors clean up almost completely on finish. Not a lot of aftertaste, besides a bit of mild melon rind flavor.
Interesting beer all around. Not really keeping with the style too much, but I don't really care about that. The flavors are just slightly harsh, and not quite in tune with one another, but alone, they are pretty cool.

Freshly bottled (apparently the first bottled review in fact). Batch 01, bottled November 2012.
A: Pours a hazy deep amber with a big effervescent tan head. Fades slowly with an impressive island of foam that remains behind. Big fluffy tendrils of lacing everywhere.
S: Citrusy with lots of grapefruit. Nice caramel malt backing it up. Just a touch of pine.
T: Nice fresh grapefruit and citrus up front. Get a bit of melon in there too, like cantaloupe in the middle. Nice solid caramel malt in the middle. Finishes with more melon and a touch of orange as well as a brief wave of bitterness.
M: Medium bodied, crisp and smooth.
O: Nice crisp, clean and fresh IPA. Nicely balanced, not a hop bomb. Balance and smoothness lends to excellent drinkability. Nice melon to mix it up with the citrus too.

User Review - GoodreadsKind of dumb, but funny. If you're in the mood for a light-hearted book that doesn't deal with life-altering circumstances and the ultimate battle of good versus evil, then maybe you should go for it! It's humor was awesome and made me laugh a lot!

User Review - GoodreadsLoved this book! Cute little story about a teenage girl who loves to grow prize-winning pumpkins in rural Iowa. This is Joan Bauer's first YA novel.
