Made Me Hard
I shot my load
Great pics, my friend. It looks like you had a lot of fun!
The Three Musketeers... Bashful, Chrisglass, and Ronboy!
The important thing is you're having fun, & it looks like you're in love, especially the picture of you two kissing.
But the man tits gotta go.
I'm actually loving the extra baggage. That's what a normal person looks like!
And now the reality check: You hope that future employers, coworkers, neighbors, exes,etc. never get their eyes on those pics. People have been fired/never hired for far less controversial acts (i.e. smoking a bong).
Well..... you promised hot...... and you sure delivered !
Nice fuck session...What type of Digital Cam did you use? The quality is Damn good...
I like your Eyes...Very sexy...
my bf took the pics.. he has a canon 950 powershot i believe.

still more to come..

Nice pics. I'm sure you boy friend is happy to have a cute guy like your self.
Love the pics of you in the Black/Red basketball shorts. I have a thing for guys in b-ball shorts.
those photos are fucking hot!!!!! keep it up man!!
Same. I'm not with him anymore, but my ex would never have been okay with taking pictures while some other guy fucked me.That's for sure ! I just got a big smile on my face as I was seeing myself asking my bf whether he would agree to take photos while I would be fucking around with another guy........ not likely to happen
How about having another guy take pictures while HE fucks you? Because I'd get into being the camera guy.
If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities. -- Voltaire (1694-1778).
Nice! thanks!
ill be adding more to this collection from something that happened last nite...

Marine Speakers Information |
Information about Marine Speakers: A marine speaker is made with water-resistant and weather-resistant materials to ensure long lasting audio playback. Many of our Marine speakers feature plastic cones and rubber surrounds for optimal durability. Enjoy your musical tunes in boats, motorcycles, spas, and saunas, because these speakers can withstand light rain, moisture and damaging sun rays. Marine speaker sets are built with materials that are water, fog, salt, and UV ray resistant. These durable speakers prevent rust and overall wear and tear. The outstanding durability of the marine audio line allows you to enjoy your favorite music throughout every outdoor adventure. To be sure, marine audio helps guard against water damage, but it is not completely infallible. Water resistant models only protect against moisture. They will guard against rainfall and water splashes, but the units are not completely waterproof. To illustrate, you cannot completely submerge your speakers and expect them to continue to function. |

I work hard and play hard. I come in contact with all types of people on a daily basis and am very skilled at reading peoples energy. I want an attractive, athletic woman that can carry a conversation, has a great attitude and has her own goals and responsibilities. A woman that likes to have fun and go with the flow. I am who I am at face value and I don't have time to lie or play games. I am passionate about being the best Realtor in my market. I am an aggressive, high energy individual. I go the extra mile to achieve my goals. I am consistent and dependable. I like to have fun and enjoy life. I enjoy what I do for a living because I am a true hunter and I go out and get it. I am also passionate about personal freedom and tend to do the opposite of the crowd. I come from a good family and enjoy spending time with them. I have a tight inner circle of friends and a huge circle of friends and acquaintances. I know people just about everywhere I go in my area. I have been engaged once and it didn't work out. Never married and no kids. I like to work out to stay fit and healthy, not to be a meat head. Life has humbled me a couple of times and I have bounced back because I will not accept failure and I am the master of my own destiny. You truly can have anything you want in life if you focus and stay humble and accept that all things happen in God's time. I know when to choose my battles and I also don't take s**t off of anyone. I will be the first person to speak up when an able bodied person parks in a handicap spot, because someone has to. I protect the ones I love and truly care about their well being. MrQuickSale is my "moniker" that I use for marketing my business and my product, if you were wondering.

Skeletons and Saints Emerge from Single Pieces of Paper in Peter Callesen's Artworks
Posted By Lori Zimmer On October 13, 2012 @ 9:45 am In Art,carousel showcase,gallery,Sustainable Materials | 1 Comment
Through meticulous and carefully calculated cuts [6], Callesen removes just enough of the paper to create his three dimensional forms. Reminiscent to spatial problems on SAT tests, the artist must predetermine and visualize the area and shape needed to fold the cuts into his desired form – all before placing the blade to the page. With a slim margin of error, the cuts must be precise, if not perfect, so that no excess paper is cut from the static page.
Callesen almost miraculously has the gift of transforming plain paper into sculpture forms [7] that resemble carved wood or even marble in some cases. His arched skeleton hand and broken marble columns look as if made from a solid mass, instead of a lone sheet of paper. Birds in flight emerge from the page with three dimensional bodies that do not give away their fragile single sheet mass.
What is even more impressive is the subsequent designs Callesen makes with the cutaway negative space. Each is as perfect as the sculptures themselves, creating a shadow of the impressive shapes that emerge from the A4 page. Callesen has mastered the art form of paper cutting [8], transforming the page into a work of art.

Speak Transformation Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
"This is where you can find your soul, if you dare. Where you can touch that part of you you've never dared look at before." (4.5)
The novel makes a running argument for the power of art to transform the artist and those who look at art.
Definitely not a dryad face. I can't stop biting my lips. It looks like a mouth that belongs to someone else, someone I don't even know. (6.10)
Dryads are female spirits of nature, who live in trees and are in charge of forests and groves. Melinda sees them as beautiful, unlike the way she sees herself now that her face has been transformed by her reaction to the trauma.
My contact folds in half under my eyelid. Tears well in my right eye. (9.9)
When you see someone having an issue with their eyes, glasses, or contacts in a book, it's probably a sign they are about to go through a metaphorical change in vision.


text: No Gas, No Problem: Stihl's Battery-Powered Tools Get the Job Done PM's home expert is an old-fashioned, torque-loving gas engine guy. But when he got his hands on Stihl's new line of 36V outdoor equipment, including a chainsaw, trimmer and blower, he got a big charge out of these battery-powered tools. By Roy Berendsohn Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 3 of 4 STIHL BGA 85 Cordless Blower Since I still had battery life left, I swapped the trimmer's battery into the BGA 85 blower. I swept out the shop where I was working, then walked down a bridle path and cleared it of leaves and sticks. My informal verdict: These tools are awesome. Even if my little afternoon foray doesn't constitute a full-blown product test, it was enough to see that these tools are light, clean, quiet and fast; you can snap in a battery and go. However, Stihl makes no bones about the fact that these are expensive, pro-quality tools. The chain saw costs $350, the AL 300 rapid charger runs about $90 and the AL 100 standard charger is $50. The string trimmer and the blower are $300 each. One AP 80 battery costs $150 and the AP 160 battery is $260. But for users who value timesaving, quietness and not having to worry about exhaust or handling tools with hot mufflers, the costbenefit ratio tips easily in favor of cordless tools. Some professionals might even be able to gain leverage over their competitors by bidding contracts with two options, gas and electric. Like the hedge trimmer, these tools have staked out new territory. Cordless tools are revolutionizing outdoor workmuch like cordless drills and saws did so for the construction site and workshop.

Minimalist living is something that many people spend their whole lives trying to achieve. A good start would be to look into moving into one of these compartmentalized aluminum apartments from Japan.
The minimalist living boxes are dubbed 'T2,' despite their lack of affiliation with killer robots from the future. The T2 moniker given by manufacturer SUS Corporation, actually stands for Transfer Technology Unit. Inside the boxes are all the necessary modern living amenities, including a shower, kitchen, space for a bed and some minimal furniture. Since aluminum is a great conductor of heat, the box apartments are actually incredibly energy efficient and eco-friendly.
The aluminum abodes retail for roughly $29,000 USD, which is pretty cheap when you think about it. Considering it's around the same price as a high-end minivan, it's a pretty cheap way to get into the minimalist living craze.

It was a strange call, a customer wanted to know where his document folders were. We quickly looked up his order history and realized he hadn't ordered document folders in almost a year. The real surprise was when we realized the folders he was looking for had been delivered almost a year ago. Four pallets, 40,000 folders, and he had no idea what had happened to them; didn't believe the delivery had been made. Even after showing him the P.O.D. - proof of delivery- that clearly showed not only were the folders delivered but he signed for them he wasn't convinced.

Now the sentiment is one thing but the reality is another. with the exception of apple picking where you actually drive to the orchard and pay for the privilege of picking your own apples, almost everything you buy comes through a distribution channel that reduces the cost. Take the apple picking example: you can stop at the market (distributor, retailer, broker call it what you want) and buy a bag of apples for $5. Or you can go the direct route spend half a day in the car with the family, drive for an hour and pay $30 to pick your own. When you add in the gas and time, the cost can approach $100. Obviously you get a lot more in terms of family time and relaxation but when all you want is apples using the local distributor (market) costs a heck of a lot less.

In her cultural and political history of the development of this dynasty, Lindsay Allen—-classicist and scholar of ancient Iran—surveys written sources, art objects, warfare, politics, and archaeological sites, supplementing the historical framework with descriptions of daily life during Persian rule. She traces the evolution of the monarchy, showing how it fostered unprecedented international communication and cultural exchange, and describes how the Persian expedition into Greece in the early fifth century BCE became a defining moment that established a European identity unique from an Asian one. Examining the rediscovery of the royal capitals at Persepolis and Susa, Allen illuminates the legacy of Persian imperial traditions. Throughout, lavish illustrations bring to life the traditions of this ancient Middle Eastern civilization and finally place Alexander's invasion within a Persian context. As the subject experiences renewed interest, The Persian Empire promises to be the definitive work on one of the most powerful dynasties in ancient history.
Posted January 22, 2009
For most Westerners, the Persian Empire was an Asiatic historical area conquered by the Macedonian Alexander the Great. But in this companion to a British Museum exhibition based on unprecedented loans from the National Museum of Iran and other major museum sources of Persian antiquities, Allen presents the Persian Empire in its own right, as the Roman Empire or the British Empire are in the history books. Besides working at the British Museum, the author has also worked at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The many objects of the exhibition that are pictured are supplemented by photographs of the remains of monuments and buildings, landscape photographs, maps, and works of art to evince the high level of political and artistic accomplishments. Allen presents the Empire by a history defined mostly by the succession of rulers until the conquest combined with a cultural appreciation of the art work, architecture, religious ideas, political order, and pattern of growth and decay.

What's The Cost Of Budget Gridlock?
Renee Montagne talks to David Wessel, economics editor of The Wall Street Journal, about the cost of the government shutdown, and the dangers of the threatened government default.
Copyright © 2013 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
And the Supreme Court may be at their desks but much of the government remains shutdown. Now it's in its seventh day, that shutdown. Ripple effects are spreading throughout the economy.
And to talk about how much the overall economy is at risk, we turn now to David Wessel. He's economics editor of The Wall Street Journal. Good morning.
DAVID WESSEL: Good morning, Renee.
MONTAGNE: That shutdown, this shutdown is obviously an inconvenience - financially painful for many. But how much serious harm is it doing to the U.S. economy?
WESSEL: Well, it's a good question. Think of this as concentric circles. At the center, of course, are these federal employees, many of whom have been told not to work. All of whom have now been told they will be paid - some day but not now. Then there are private-sector employees in the next ring who depend on the government being open.
My colleagues at The Wall Street Journal talked to a guy who owns a bus company called Bailey Coach in York, Pennsylvania. It runs 11 buses to places like Gettysburg and the Liberty Bell. And he says when tour groups cancel, 'cause they can't get into these sites, the drivers don't get paid. He had to give $10,000 worth of refunds over the weekend.
And then beyond that there are people who rely on government services that are suspended; some Head Start programs are closed, some business loan programs aren't taking applications, farmers say they can't get the price data that usually government usually gives them to help manage their businesses.
Now, all the individuals are clearly hurt economically. But if you add it all up, the U.S. economy is so big that this problem isn't a huge effect. These direct effects may be three-tenths of a percentage point off the growth rate in the fourth quarter of this year.
MONTAGNE: Well, then does that add up to we don't have much worry about?
WESSEL: Well, we don't have much to worry about from the direct effects of the shutdown unless it's prolonged. Some of the harm to the economy will be offset when the government reopens, as it surely will. But it's really more complicated than that. Gallup takes a daily survey of consumers that it's found a sharp plunge in confidence to the lowest level in nearly two years among consumers. And that clearly is bad for the economy. And, of course, this isn't happening in isolation.
There's this growing angst about the need to raise the federal debt ceiling. The Treasury says it will run out of cash some time later this month. It won't be able to pay all the government's bills unless Congress lifts the ceiling on federal debt. And everybody says, well, they'll probably do it but they can't be sure. So that's another kind of big worry cloud over the economy.
MONTAGNE: And, David, can we look to the past for where we might be going here?
WESSEL: Well, we always do, of course. There was a three-week shutdown in the mid '90s. The damage then was bad, short-term, but was really offset by a rebound afterwards. I'm not sure that parallels really work. At that time, Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich - the House speaker, seem to be able to negotiate. Raising the debt ceiling wasn't much of an issue and we didn't - it wasn't preceded by these across the board spending cuts, the sequester.
Two years ago may be a better parallel. In August 2011, Congress took it right to the brink before they raised the debt ceiling. They did but the anxiety over it took a real chunk out of the economy, just a time the recovery was beginning to get some momentum. And I think that actually did have long lasting effects.
MONTAGNE: And that was, of course, far more negative than what we've seen so far.
WESSEL: So far.
MONTAGNE: So far.
MONTAGNE: Well, let's talk about the financial markets. Are they showing any signs of anxiety?
WESSEL: Well, the stock market has been blissfully unconcerned. The bond market seems to be happy because it thinks the Fed will hold off on doing anything, as long as the government is in chaos
MONTAGNE: David, thanks very much.
WESSEL: You're welcome.
MONTAGNE: David Wessel is economics editor of The Wall Street Journal.

Just wondered if this has any value---
Thanks--- |
Follow-Up Postings:
Of course!! It's old 1930's kitch....there is always a demand, just because it's not "fine china" and was often discarded....what's left is sought after. Check on line and don't forget eBay. Linda C |
Here is a link that might be useful: Butter dish
There is a posting on ebay of this very item, the seller says it's a syrup set; I have no knowledge of the item personally. No bids but it is listed at $45. I've posted the link if anyone's interested. Suzan J |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hostess Ware Syrup Set on Ebay
Syrup set???? LOL! It's for milk and cream....milk for your cereal and cream for your coffee. Linda C |
Okay. I'll bite. What's a "batter"? The only thing I can think of is something to put pancake/waffle batter in. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me unless your cooking your breakfast at the table. |
I think the person who was selling the set on ebay was fishing for a logical use for 2 different sized pitchers....and chose the wrong one! |
- Posted by countryjunkgirlinil (My Page) on Tue, Apr 27, 10 at 21:33
It is a butter and syrup set. I had one kinds like that but in different design. |
I disagree....milk and cream. I never heard of serving butter in a pitcher. That set is from the very very early days of my childhood, the milk for your cereal or tea and cream for your coffee or cereal if that's what you liked was served in a pitcher on the table and my grandmother had a spooner of spoons but my mother had a flat spoon stacker. |
- Posted by countryjunkgirlinil (My Page) on Wed, Apr 28, 10 at 14:14
Accodrning to my HOT KITCHEN and Home COLLECTIIBLES of the 30'40'50' this set is a Batter set if you set it on the stove or Syrup set if you decide to set it on the table.. The book mentions they are mistaken for milk or tea sets. Value is between $45-$65 they were popular in the mail order catalogs. |
Actually, I've seen drawn butter served in restaurants along with warmed syrup for pancakes and waffles. It's been many years but but they were served in stainless steel pitchers. I still don't know about this particular set though. |
- Posted by countryjunkgirlinil (My Page) on Wed, Apr 28, 10 at 23:22
I have see them in some old family resturants. My mom had a set, not like this brand or design she always had it sitting on the table. One with melted butter other with pure maple. I had one but never had the plate for it and it was missing a lid Pris i have seen the ones your talking about. |

China's economy as No. 2: How it's playing in Japan
Some Japanese hope the news that China's economy has bumped Japan's as the world's second largest will serve as a wake-up call. Most Japanese knew this day was inevitable.
Eugene Hoshiko/AP
China finally overtook Japan and became the world's second-biggest economy, according to data released this week in Tokyo, which showed minimal GDP growth in the land of the rising sun, while its huge neighbor continued its blistering rise.
While some observers say the change in the economic world order is "purely symbolic," others say it should act as a wake-up call to both countries – Japan to get its economic house in order, China to become more politically responsible.
And although some Japanese may gaze across the East China Sea with a touch of envy at the growing economic might of the new kid on the block, most knew that this day was inevitable for a country with more than 10 times the population of their homeland's 127 million.
"China's domestic expansion is very positive for Japan's economy," says Takashi Shiono, an economist at Credit Suisse in Tokyo. "While some Japanese people might feel kind of envious, this is a huge opportunity for Japanese companies."

On September 26, 2010 – 92 years after the WWI officially ended – Germany made her last payment of $94 million in reparations "to private individuals, pension funds and corporations holding debenture bonds as agreed under the Treaty of Versailles." As Keynes rightly predicted, the unreasonably high French demands for financial reparations led to German economic weakness. The end result was hyperinflation, which was one of the principal causes of Hitler's rise to power and the start of the Second World War. In spite of losing two world wars, Germany did eventually become the most powerful nation in Europe – through trade, capitalism and German ingenuity.

Obesity remains a serious health problem and it is no secret that many people want to lose weight. Behavioral economists typically argue that "nudges" help individuals with various decisionmaking flaws to live longer, healthier, and better lives. In an article in the new issue of Regulation, Michael L. Marlow discusses how nudging by government differs from nudging by markets, and explains why market nudging is the more promising avenue for helping citizens to lose weight.

Beanie Wells is toting a football with his name on it from the locker room to meetings at Arizona Cardinals headquarters this week.
Teammates try to sneak up and strip the ball from him. If he drops it, he pays a $200 fine to charity. So far, he said, that hasn't happened.
The rookie running back acknowledges he's getting a bit weary of all the attention given to his two fumbles in last Sunday's 31-17 victory at Jacksonville.
"It happened twice in a game but it shouldn't be that big an issue," Wells said after practice on Thursday.
The ordeal started when Wells fumbled for the second time. On the sidelines, safety Adrian Wilson — one of the team's leaders — scribbled Wells' name on a football and handed it to him, telling him to hang onto it.
"As a rookie with two fumbles like that, you just want to have that m.o. (method of operation)," Wilson said. "We expect a lot out of Beanie and I'm pretty sure Beanie expects a lot out of himself,"
Wells said the first fumble was his fault.
"I wasn't protecting it the way I should going through the hole," he said. "The second one was my fault again because I lost it, but the guy made a good play on it."
Take out those two fumbles — the second recovered by Jacksonville to stop an Arizona drive — and Wells has looked strong. Arizona's first-round draft pick, taken No. 31 overall, has gained 73 yards in 14 carries, an average of 5.2 per attempt.
Overall, the Cardinals' ground game — worst in the NFL last season — has had some success in the first two games. Arizona has outrushed its opponents 158-113 through two games.
Wells said he's never had a reputation as a fumbler, and he's worked all week on holding the ball "high and tight" to avoid defenders stripping it away.
"I like what I've seen from what he's done in practice," coach Ken Whisenhunt said, "carrying the ball technique-wise. He's keeping the ball high and tight like we talked about, but it remains to be seen if he can do it in a game. He's gotten a lot of attempts in the building walking around the hall and he's done pretty good with that."
Wells said he can't let worries about a possible fumble affect the aggressiveness of his running style.
Playing behind starter Tim Hightower, Wells has shown the ability to carry tacklers for several yards. The fumbles, he insists, were an aberration.
"I'm definitely not worried about for the future," he said.

Red Cargo Train shown in latest product catalogue...
Posted by Grahame,The latest consumer LEGO product catalogue, which I have just received, contains the new set releases due out in the next few months. Included is the Red Cargo Train set 3677 and most of the other new set releases that we already know about here at Brickset.
There was some early debate about whether or not this was a genuine set when news first broke earlier this year after the set had been seen in a display in Denmark. But now we can confirm that it will be arriving at a station near you anytime soon!
46 comments on this article
I got this catalogue on Monday, so yeah.
They could've picked a better picture, though. I mean, that's it -- the engine and the new brown ballast truck. You can see a hint of the van in the background, but the perspective is so out-of-scale it looks like the van is shorter than a minifig! Edit -- or else, the train runs through the land of the giant minifigs ^_^.
But yeah, at least we know that it's legit, now.
I haven't seen this one before, looks great!
Yea, looks really nice. And I'm not even a train collector!
Very interesting. I'm glad to be proven wrong. It does seem strange that another train is being released so soon after last year's pair. Maybe they are selling really well. Is it motorised, I wonder? If so that would have to be a red battery box on the front wouldn't it?
@ Huw - looking at the front and rear bogies they appear to be similar design to that of the current power cars on the freight and passenger cars, also you can see the semi circular shape of the IR reciever on the top rear of the loco. More details of this would good however. What wagons does it come with and how much track, what is the pricing point etc...
More Info - http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=52213&st=0
It is indeed a red battery box.
Looks 'OK' but until better pictures come out, it doesn't seem that enticing. Perhaps we've just been spoilt with the Emerald Night/Maersk, but I think its lacking in the design department.
But expect the price of Santa Fe windscreens to depreciate...
I do agree with miniroll32. I'm definitely a train-fan, and it doesn't really excite me (Emerald Night and Maersk were must-have, you know). But I don't really like the carriages, and I think the engine is a bit boring. I counted today, the engine is 32 studs long (on a 28 stud baseplate, with two extra studs on either side). I think, when the engine is enormous (like BNSF or Maersk), I kind of hope for a bit more visual *oomph*, for want of a better term.
It's not bad, though. But still no doors. Seriously, Lego, that's been bothering me for years now.
Does the minifigure with the jackhammer have a mask over his mouth? How cool would that be! :)
Looks like a cool set. Since it's motorized it'll probably be anywhere from $49.99 to $69.99. If anyone has the final price it'd be great to know. The length of the train was pretty good, so I may buy this, but only if I can find a good deal on it and it comes with tracks.
@LukeSkywalker - I hope so!
^ You have to be joking, right? It'll be nearer $100.
^ I should think it'll be a lot more than that. Have you seen all the things it comes with on the link I posted above? Just to note that the current Passenger Train (7938) is $129.99. I wouldn't be surprised if it's more than that due to it having more coaches and a small conveyor belt.
EDIT: Got Ninja'd by Huw ;-)
Oh, wow I didn't see those pics you posted LCG. Ha, it'd be a miracle if it were near that price, maybe it'll be $119.99 to $149.99... I'm no Train master so I'm very bad at guessing prices for these kinds of sets. I'll have to forget about buying this set.
I'll be getting this set, marking my entrance into trains. :-)
This guy better be motorized, or be priced accordingly. I skipped on the Emerald Night solely because of the lack of integrated PF and additional carriages, but we have the rest. Nothing on this stands out and yells "BUY ME", other than simply being LEGO and Train. After living with the 7898 Cargo Train Deluxe for a while, even my kids agree that's the most fun. The details are incredible. I hope we're not regressing here, but it seems a bit premature to produce another cargo train so fast. A realistic passenger train set would be more welcome here...
I don't like the look of the current cargo train, however I do like how this looks, I might get this.
Well it is bizarre it is coming out so close to the other one being out.. My guess is that the price will be between the passenger train and the cargo train, so about 150 USD maybe? Maybe less track; less switches.....
I think the laughable part is that the Power functions was supposed to reduce the price of a train sets, but then they sit there and add more track and stuff... While that is ok for me, they should not then turn around and act surprised when people do not pay for a 180 USD cargo train
The original photos showed a track maintenance vehicle and hopper loader - looks as if they have been dropped, or will the vehicle be a separate set?
Looking at the pics posted @LegoCoastGuard, it looks like we might be able to combine a few aspects of the new Lego City harbour (4645) with this new cargo train. Car 3 could be loaded with grain coming via ship into the harbour. Could be kind of cool to combine the harbour with the train tracks... I bet it will be pretty pricey though!
This train is actually motorized because if you go on youtube and type in Lego 3677 it shows it moving. And the price is going to be $130.00! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
Looks nice, but I'd have to get a final price to make a choice. (If it is less than the Passenger Train, maybe.) I'm going to get the Maersk anyway. (I've been planning to since it came out.)
@Thomson & Thompson, I agree with you, I payed $129.99 for The City Passenger Train, so if its less I`ll get it, if not I`ll be willing to pay an extra $20.00 or so for it, because to me its not worth that much to me, I mean all the City Passenger and cargo Trains have had almost the same design, but If I do get this I would like to get the Harbour with it, I think they`re a great match. I like the design of this one, since I dont have a Cargo Train yet, but I wish Lego would include some straight tracks, I mean when I bought the Passenger Train it came in a complete circle, with those flexi tracks which are not that great at all, so I hope there is. Anybody got a release date? I will be looking forward to getting this.
Maybe I'm really not a Train collector... to me this set looks simply boring. Now I'm glad I didn't invest in buying the last two trains and station.
To me, this smacks of Cargo Train 4512 (http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=4512-1) only in PF instead of 9v. Since I've yet to switch from the 9v to PF, I can't see picking this one up.
It'll take something better than this to shake me out of my metal-tracked rut! Gaunlet thrown Lego!
As a Lego train collector this is a must have, however, need to have more detail on the engine....looks plain to me. Hope it comes with PF. I love the EN and Maersk trains.
I really like this. I was turned off by the huge price of the one from last year, even more so because I had received the 2006 version the year before. If this is a smaller set, preferably being $100 or less, I'll definitely buy it.
I scanned pages from my copy of the mid 2011 catalog here:
It's quite a different catalog than others I have received in the past.
The ink smells toxic and the images are all darker than usual.
Doesn't really make for clandestine reading under the covers at night :)
@JDLego-Your Harbour + Train idea is ingenious, they would look great together.
Anyone know a release date/price?
This to me seems... lazy. The tipper truck is a novel little feature, but they don't seem to have put much thought into the design of the engine itself; it's just a big, red, brick. Besides, we already have two other transporters in the range, both of which are much nicer than this one. I was hoping the next train they released would be something like a bullet train or one of the 1950's express locos like the Mallard
Here's another picture http://www.brickshop.nl/lego/treinen-rc/lego-3677-vrachtrein-trein-set.html
As I already have two trains of my own, I dont really feel the need to pick this one up. Besides in my opinon it's not the best designed locomotive really.
@balkris Mallard 1950s? 1938 more like!
Seems strange to me that they are replacing the current freight set so soon. I prefer the loco from the current one, but the cars in this look pretty good. I'll not be buying it anyway, I like to design my own.
@LCG-I think that pic just bought me the set! It comes with so much stuff, and PF!!
Price will still decide, though.
@LCG - thanks a lot for the link! I did like the design of the train, but the overall set looks even better to me. Have to get one for Christmas.
PS I found the new German catalogue today; a bit odd, there's no pic of this set included.
Just getting into trains (got the passenger train last weekend for Father's Day) I am very excited about this one. On EuroBricks, they said the train battery box is red!
Its strange that the UK catalogue picture is so poor and doesn't show the track maintenance vehicle and hopper loader while the Dutch Shop website does.
Thanks LegoCoastGuard for the pic.
Judging by the overseas price, and the what appears in the set.. I am guessing this is 150-180 USD... there are no switches so that should make a it a bit cheaper.
Balkris -- a Japanese style bullet train, or a Mallard-style steam engine, would be fantastic! I'm not sure how they'd do that with the pieces available, though. The Mallard-style has that curved front, I think that'd be a tricky build.
the uk price is £132.99 i know because i was talking to lego direct a few days ago. :)
^So that means that the US price is $149.99, and the Canadian price is $199.99, I think. If that is true, I don't think I will be getting this.
@DavidGraham: The picture was taken from the New Zealand / Australia consumer product catalogue.
Hi everyone, the red cargo train is in fact a real set, the box art has just been posted on a Korean website. Here is the link:
There is also a Youtube video of the train: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJhWsSV8x9Y&feature=player_embedded
Finally released a SET line Train (with motor) in 2011. Very nice, and wagons are cool, but a few tracks for this type SET. Perhaps a buy to increase my railroad, but I would not buy it if it were the first.
@Nightshroud99: I agree this will be my first train set, and I think it'll go well with the station.
Does any one know the price for 3677? I know it is comeing out in agaust. Is there a passanger train to go with it?Are there any other other sets to go with it?
Commenting has ended on this article.

At the close of the nineteenth century, industrialization and urbanization marked the end of the traditional understanding of society as rooted in agriculture. Urban Modernity examines the construction of an urban-centered, industrial-based culture--an entirely new social reality based on science and technology. The authors show that this invention of modernity was brought about through the efforts of urban elites--businessmen, industrialists, and officials--to establish new science- and technology-related institutions.
This book provides a long-overdue vision for a new automobile era. The cars we drive today follow the same underlying design principles as the Model Ts of a hundred years ago and the tail-finned sedans of fifty years ago. In the twenty-first century, cars are still made for twentieth-century purposes. They're well suited for conveying multiple passengers over long distances at high speeds, but inefficient for providing personal mobility within cities--where most of the world's people now live.
Michael Gecan, a longtime community organizer, offers in this book a disturbing conclusion: the kinds of problems that began to afflict large cities in the 1970s have now spread to the suburbs and beyond. The institutional cornerstones of American life are on an extended decline.
In distressed urban neighborhoods where residential segregation concentrates poverty, liquor stores outnumber supermarkets, toxic sites are next to playgrounds, and more money is spent on prisons than schools, residents also suffer disproportionately from disease and premature death. Recognizing that city environments and the planning processes that shape them are powerful determinants of population health, urban planners today are beginning to take on the added challenge of revitalizing neglected urban neighborhoods in ways that improve health and promote greater equity.
More than ever, Americans rely on independent special districts to provide public services. The special district--which can be as small as a low-budget mosquito abatement district or as vast as the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey--has become the most common form of local governance in the United States. In Governing the Tap, Megan Mullin examines the consequences of specialization and the fragmentation of policymaking authority through the lens of local drinking-water policy.
The emerging metropolitan regional-equity movement promotes innovative policies to ensure that all communities in a metropolitan region share resources and opportunities equally. Too often, low-income communities and communities of color bear a disproportionate burden of pollution and lack access to basic infrastructure and job opportunities. The metropolitan regional-equity movement--sometimes referred to as a new civil rights movement--works for solutions to these problems that take into account entire metropolitan regions: the inner-city core, the suburbs, and exurban areas.
Urban sidewalks, critical but undervalued public spaces, have been sites for political demonstrations and urban greening, promenades for the wealthy and the well-dressed, and shelterless shelters for the homeless. On sidewalks, decade after decade, urbanites have socialized, paraded, and played, sold their wares, and observed city life. These many uses often overlap and conflict, and urban residents and planners try to include some and exclude others.
In the nineteenth century, horse transportation consumed vast amounts of land for hay production, and the intense traffic and ankle-deep manure created miserable living conditions in urban centers. The introduction of the horseless carriage solved many of these problems but has created others. Today another revolution in transportation seems overdue. Transportation consumes two-thirds of the world's petroleum and has become the largest contributor to global environmental change.
The internationalization of economies and other changes that accompany globalization have brought about a paradoxical reemergence of the local. A significant but largely unstudied aspect of new local-global relationships is the growth of "localist movements," efforts to reclaim economic and political sovereignty for metropolitan and other subnational regions. In Localist Movements in a Global Economy, David Hess offers an overview of localism in the United States and assesses its potential to address pressing global problems of social justice and environmental sustainability.
What is a camp? In August 2005, television news showed viewers an estimated 20,000 Katrina evacuees camped out in the Superdome, Cindy Sheehan protesting the Iraq War on President Bush's doorstep in "Camp Casey," Texas, and Israeli and Palestinian young people at the Seeds of Peace Camp in Maine discussing the evacuation of settlement camps in the Gaza Strip.

RUSSELL SMITH: Opening of turkey season provides special moments
I watched Caleb Denson, my oldest grandson, take his first bite of fish. He pulled another piece from the bones, devoured it, and then said, "That's good." It was the first time my daughter Shannon and her family had experienced the taste of trout, the lake, brown and rainbow varieties. My Colorado friends, Launnie, Rocky and John, had recently caught the fish while ice fishing at Blue Mesa, west of Gunnison. We all enjoyed this outdoor meal during spring break while the whole crew hunted feral hogs in Coke County.
It was just days before my 63rd birthday and I cherished every moment of our time together. Like the glint in Joshua's eyes anytime he gets to experience something new. He's Caleb's younger brother and also a talented archer and hunter. Then the sound of a nearby helicopter drew my eyes onto the horizon just in time to see a flock of turkey that flew across the neighbor's fence. I smiled and thought about what I had planned for the spring turkey season.
The Plan
There is something pretty special about hunting Rio Grande gobblers in the spring. Probably the closest thing to talking to elk I've ever done. Rasping on a box call or sending a "cluck" across a slate can allow you to start a conversation that might bring a big bird right to you. After now living more than 23,000 days on this earth, I had a plan to do something special this year.
Gary Elrod was my friend. We became very close after I wrote the book "No Reason to Kill" about the investigation into his sister Sheila's death during a jewelry store robbery. He came to my house the night I gave him his hardback copy in 2008. We visited for hours and, before he left, he gave me a few older-style Easton arrows and his vintage Martin Warthog bow. Then he said, "Maybe you can get some use out of it someday."
The 1976 graduate of Central High School had already told me stories about him shooting rabbits out behind his house on Oak Forest, back before the area was developed where the Albertsons store is now. A little research revealed the Martin bow was made at their Walla Walla, Wash., factory until newer models and designs took over in the mid-80s. I added a few sight pins, a peep on the string and started practicing with the bow. It was not long before the arrows hit the intended target — most of the time.
About a week after my grandkids left, I contacted TPWD wildlife biologist John McEachern, who related, "I think the outlook for the turkey season is good, given the amount of mature birds in the area. And some parts of the Concho Valley had good production last year, so those areas will have a lot of young birds in the mix as well. If we can get rain at the right time to improve nesting conditions, and trigger those birds to start reproducing, this spring season should be successful."
The Hunt
The first day of spring turkey season took me to a Tom County pasture not too far from my house. I carried Gary's bow and arrows (tipped with Muzzy broadheads) and my backpack to a dark blind used just for bowhunting. The compartment only has one window to see out of and those outside only see darkness inside the blind. I knew it would be different from what I was used to — trying to conceal myself in camouflage clothes while I set up and waited, or moved again — calling as I'd done in the past. Yet I wanted to take a gobbler with my friend's equipment.
I didn't hear the birds coming off their roost that first morning; there was no sound they were anywhere near, though I'd seen good numbers during deer season. Not long after sunup I gave a few rasps on my Primos box call, after which I mimicked the turkey again. Then I sat back in a chair and waited. I read a book and kept my ears open and my eyes searching for my lovesick quarry. Finally, I hit the slate a few times; then started to doze off until a loud gobble-gobble-gobble nearly caused me to fall out of my chair.
The big gobbler was not 10 yards away. He was totally fanned out as he stuck his neck out and made the noise again that says, "Calling all hens, calling all hens." The only problem was that he was behind some cactus and brush staring out in front of my blind. I knew he was looking for a hen, a hen that wasn't there because I had forgotten to get an imitation hen decoy out of the barn on the other place where we hunt.
I didn't believe I should call again, with him being so close, so I watched as he strutted out into a mesquite thicket where he promptly called again. He moved between 20 and 30 yards out for a while but never stood still in an opening. He soon headed east — leaving me with just a memory. For hours I sat there calling periodically. Sometimes I would get an answer and other times not. I never released an arrow on opening day.
I took Gary's bow back on four other days. I also took a camera because for some reason I was just covered up with birds. Red birds, sparrows, mockingbirds, doves and others I don't know the name of. They just kept coming and going, scurrying around on the ground — sitting on tree limbs or even trying to land in the opening in the blind. I also took and installed the only decoy I had that imitated a Jake.
Three of these last four days I didn't hear or see a Rio Grande turkey. I just sat there for hours watching the little birds in all their majesty. I took one cool shot of a cardinal, another of a sparrow, and a dove. But mostly just watched them doing what they do.
The final day I did see a gobbler and a hen. The only problem was that I didn't go hunting until about an hour after daylight. Walking down the trail to the blind I caught sight of a strutting gobbler pushing a hen in the pasture. Of course, they hurried away when they saw me. I sat in the blind until noon. Birds were again moving all around outside, but I never got a shot at a turkey. I looked at Gary's bow and thought, "How fitting."
You see, it was not long before Gary passed away in 2010, that he and I sat together in another dark blind and watched several flocks of turkey and plenty of deer as they came and went. Several times I told him he could take any animal he wanted, but in the end, he just smiled and said, "Aren't those blue birds beautiful; and look at those red birds!"
My schedule may prohibit me from taking another trip into the field but our local spring turkey season runs through May 11 and special youth weekend is May 17-18. If my friends on Facebook are any indication, plenty of big gobblers have already been taken this year. I wish you and yours the very best if you do get to spend time outdoors — hoping that a long-beard will come your way.
Hickory Water Note
There has been a lot of talk about the radium in the Hickory water that will soon be available in San Angelo. I thought I would share a few comments I heard from a rancher at a Texas Wildlife Association seminar about a decade ago.
The man told me he had three high fenced ranches where he took hunters every deer season. He said the habitat was basically the same on each place and so were the numbers, breeding objectives and protein in his feed, etc. Yet, he said one of the ranches regularly grew deer with larger antlers. The only difference was this final place got its water from the Hickory aquifer.
Local Pro Rising in Standings
Austin Terry is making a name for himself on the FLW Walmart Tour. Though he sat in 113th place after Day 1 on Beaver Lake in Arkansas, he adapted and weighed 20.01 lbs. the second day to jump all the way to 43rd ahead of names like Randy Blaukat, Jay Yelas, Brent Ehrler, Tommy Martin, Luke Clausen, Gary Yamamoto, Ish Monroe, Greg Hackney and many others.
Our local pro now sits in 28th place in the FLW Angler of the Year standings with two tournaments left — Pickwick Lake in Alabama from June 5-8 and Kentucky Lake in Tennessee from June 26-29. You can watch the weigh-ins live on the Internet at www.flwoutdoors.com. As long as Terry stays in the top 35, he will be headed to the final Forrest Wood Cup tourney August 14-17.
