Mac-Mac OS X 10.5" 'Leopard' or better, any Intel Mac, 1 GB Ram and 1 GB HD space. How it works:The last century of neuroscience research greatly increased our understanding about the brain and the complex energy it emits. Brainwave patterns form faint electrical signals detectable on the scalp. Recording this Electroencephalogram (EEG) has historically required elaborate, intimidating and immovable equipment costing thousands of dollars, limiting the benefits to the research communities. NeuroSky has innovated with the world's leading universities such as Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, University of Washington, University of Wollongong, Trinity College and many others to take neuroscience out of the laboratory and into the home. Our bio-sensor headsets digitize brainwave signals to power the user-interface of games, computers and investigative medical applications. NeuroSky technology accurately measures mental states such as meditation and attention, which are different than actual thoughts. Sensing that a user is in a state of calm is different from sensing that the user likes the color blue. These mental states have powerful capabilities when integrated into video games, education, sports coaching, meditation, etc. The human brain is made up of billions of interconnected neurons about the size of a pinhead. As neurons interact, patterns manifest as singular thoughts such as a math calculation, and broad emotional states such as attention. The average human thinks 70,000 thoughts each day. As a by-product, every interaction between neurons creates a miniscule electrical discharge, measurable by EEG (electroencephalogram) machines. By themselves, these charges are impossible to measure from outside the skull. However, a dominant mental state, driven by collective neuron activity created by hundreds of thousands concurrent discharges, can be measured. Through a century of experimentation, neuroscience experts have determined where specific activity occurs within the brain. Motor control of limbs occurs in the top of the brain, for example. Vision is processed in the back of the brain. From an evolutionary point of view, these basic functions are present in most animals. As humans evolved into more intelligent creatures, the pre-frontal cortex in the front of the brain is where higher thinking occurs. Emotions, mental states, concentration, etc. are all dominant in this area. This is the primary reason for NeuroSky's main sensor placement on a position known as FP1. Different brain states are the result of different patterns of neural interaction. These patterns lead to waves characterized by different amplitudes and frequencies. As examples, brainwaves between 12 and 30 hertz, Beta Waves, are associated with concentration, while waves between 8 and 12 hertz, Alpha Waves, are associated with calm relaxation. Often overshadowing brainwaves, the contraction of muscles is also associated with unique wave patterns, called EMG. Isolating these EMG patterns is how some NeuroSky devices detect eye blinks. The single sensor on FP1 provides a high degree of freedom; NeuroSky devices can measure multiple mental states simultaneously. The physics of brainwaves is virtually identical to the physics of sound waves where a single microphone can pick up the complexity of a concert. All electrical devices, including computers, lightbulbs, wall sockets, etc., leak some level of ambient "noise". This noise is often loud enough to obfuscate brainwaves. As a result, laboratory EEG devices will pick up random readings when both the reference electrode and the primary electrode are connected to an object that is not emitting brainwaves. Sensing mental activity through electrical noise is like trying to eavesdrop on a conversation at a loud ballgame - from outside the stadium. In the past, traditional EEG devices have circumvented this problem by measuring brainwaves in strictly controlled environments where no lights, devices, etc. interfere with the EEG signal. To increase the EEG brainwave signal, a thick medical gel is used for conductivity. As EEG devices migrate from the laboratory to homes, most people do not have rooms devoid of electronic interference, nor do they want to apply a conductive liquid to their head every time they use an EEG device. NeuroSky's approaches to gel-free sensors and noisy environments mitigate these challenges. Part of NeuroSky's IP involves noise cancellation. Signal amplification makes the raw brainwave signal stronger. Filtering protocols eliminate known noise frequencies such as muscle, pulse and electrical devices. Notch filters eliminate electrical noise from the grid, which varies from 50Hz to 60Hz, depending on worldwide geography. Filter technology remains at the forefront of NeuroSky R&D, and future products will refine this imperfect capability. Additional IP involves electrical engineering. Extrapolating EEG brainwave signals from noise requires both a reference point and an electrical circuit grounding. The grounding makes the body voltage the same as the headset. The reference is used to subtract the common ambient noise through a process known as common mode rejection. The earlobe is a location that experiences the same ambient noise as the NeuroSky forehead sensor but with minimal neural activity. Hence, it is crucial that the ear connection be securely fit. Electrical signals in neurons are not transmitted the same way electrical signals that travel along wires are nor do they have a source of electricity being fed into them. Instead each neuron creates its own electrical charge. Every time one of these electrical signals reach the end of a neuron, chemicals are released that tell the surrounding neurons to create their own electrical signals. These signals are called "action potentials" and when a neuron creates one it is said to have "fired". It is possible for atoms and molecules to have a positive or negative charge, these charged particles are known as ions; positive and negative ions want to be paired together like the positive and negative poles of two magnets. When no signal is being transmitted a neuron uses pumps to move positive ions outside of the cell. These pumps require a great deal of energy because the positive ions want to go back into the now negatively charged cell. The energy required to power these pumps comes from ATP, the same molecule that carries energy to muscles throughout the body. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can only change forms but cannot be created or destroyed. The energy used to power the pumps becomes stored as the charge differential between the inside and outside of the cell. When that differential is removed by the flow of positive ions into the cell, the stored energy is released in the form of small waves. Like little waves combining to create big waves in the ocean, as thousands of neurons fire, the little waves come together to create the larger waves knows as brain waves. It is these dominant brainwaves that are measured by NeuroSky devices. Human neuroplasticity is the tendency of neurons to create new connections between each other and sever old ones based on their previous interactions. In simple terms, people learn to associate things because when neurons fire together they wire together, and when they fire apart they wire apart. As a person tries to produce the brainwaves required to control a NeuroSky device, the neurons involved in the thought of a particular mental state are frequently active at the same time as the neurons that produce that mental state itself. This strengthens the connections between these groups of neurons, making it easier to incite a mental state at will. Brain computer interface (BCI) is a system that translates the electrophysiological activity or metabolic rate of an organic organisms' nervous system into signals that can be interpreted by a mechanical device. The idea of BCI has captured the public imagination for a century; Baby Boomers grew up with the Six Million Dollar Man, a television series featuring a man outfitted with neural prosthesis after an injury. As early as 1908, Le Nyctalope, arguably the first super hero, was also the first BCI described in literature (sporting an artificial heart.) BCI is no longer relegated to fiction, in fact research into the subject has flourished throughout the last decade in which humans, nonhuman primates, and rodents have directly communicated with electrical devices through neural activity (Ganguly and Carmen, 2009; Stieglitz 2009). Despite the explosion of research into BCI, just a few years ago one would be hard pressed to find a device recording central nervous system activity and using it to control an electronic device below tens of thousands of dollars. NeuroSky is the world leader in bringing BCI capabilities out of the laboratory and to the general public. Because of NeuroSky's advances, anyone can now influence the functions of an electronic device by thought alone, in the privacy of their own home. Research institutions can collect previously unprecedented levels of field data on brain functions. And businesses can add BCI capabilities to their products. NeuroSky devices are affordable, portable, and wireless. Most EEG based consumer devises on the market are essentially stripped down versions of medical EEGs. The core technology behind NeuroSky devices has been built from the ground up. This has allowed NeuroSky to inexpensively produce a chip that that filters out the ambient waves present in most uncontrolled conditions and effectively measures neural activity in virtually any condition with 96% the accuracy of similarly configured research grade EEGs. A number of companies claim to have been the first to release a consumer based EEG. The first was actually produced by Interactive Product line. Though NeuroSky developed the first BCI device available to the general public under a thousand dollars, NeuroSky's primary product is chips. These have been the basis for every commercially successful consumer BCI product every created. NeuroSky allows for companies with no experience in EEG based technology to effectively incorporate it into their products. All NeuroSky technology is unidirectional; where information travels from the brain to the device but not the other way around. It would be physically impossible to use a NeuroSky product to control someone's thoughts. That said, using a NeuroSky device on a regular basis might make it easier to reach certain mental states but only in the way doing math problems can make one better at math. NeuroSky devices only receive data the brain is always emitting. Moreover, the wireless signals are purposely kept to a minimum because they would interfere with the brainwave recording itself. Thus the strength of wireless signals produced by NeuroSky devices make those produced by cell phones look like a jet engine. Galvanic skin response is a technology that has been available to the general public for decades; best known for its use in the classic "lie detector". Often confused with EEG, galvanic skin response can be used to approximate a narrow range of mental states through measuring the electrical resistance of skin. Skin conductivity changes based on hormones the brain produces when in a state of emotional arousal. Galvanic skin response cannot distinguish between different forms of arousal ie. anger, fear, startle response, and sexual arousal. It is important to note that galvanic skin response does not directly measure states of mind directly, but rather their effects on the body. Neurosky devices measure local field potentials, aka brain waves, which are directly caused by neural activity - No NeuroSky device has ever used galvanic skin response. In the future, galvanic skin response (GSR), muscle electromyography (EMG), heartbeat electrocardiography (ECG or EKG), retinal electrooculography (EOG), blood oximetry and other biosensor areas will be logical areas of innovation for NeuroSky.

Gordon, Henderson, Rice immortalized
Plaques installed for finishing touch to Hall of Fame weekend
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- After all the years of waiting, after a weekend of ovations, and after the anxiety of a speech in front of fans and Hall of Famers alike, Joseph Lowell Gordon, Rickey Nelson Henley Henderson and James Edward Rice were immortalized on Sunday night when the bronze plaques that sketch their faces and articulate their achievements were drilled into waiting slots on the semi-circular wall of the Hall of Fame gallery.
It was a fait accompli, by then, nothing more than a formality for the three members of the Hall of Fame's Class of 2009. But it remains nothing less than the permanent establishment of their legacies, affixed in perpetuity in baseball's most hallowed corridor.
Fans with jerseys of Henderson and Rice, with hats sporting A's and B's, with shirts and sneakers sporting team logos and yes, even with a pair of red socks crowded the gallery to see the weekend's final and most lasting installment.
The plaques were hung in alphabetical order: Gordon first, then Henderson, and lastly Rice. It was fitting for Rice to go last, having waited 15 years to be enshrined in his final year on the ballot. Cries of "Finally" and loud applause from the Boston fans filled the rotunda as the final screws were drilled and capped with small baseballs.
Gordon's plaque paid tribute to "an acrobatic second baseman with tremendous power." Henderson's -- with the text a little smaller to fit in all nine of his teams -- described a player who was "faster than a speeding bullet, scored more runs (2,295), stole more bases (1,406) than any player in history." Rice's told of a slugger "with titanic strength and an innate ability to hit to all fields."
Once the installation was complete, the awaiting crowd was allowed to take pictures with the plaques. They, too, sought an immortal memento from an unforgettable weekend.

RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE -6- THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1980 BROOKS HAYS HONORED BY NCCJ AT PREMIERE OF FILM ON LIFE By Religious News Service (10-30-80) NEW YORK (RNS) — Former Arkansas Congressman Brooks Hays was honored here at the premiere of a film on his public career by the National Conference of Christians and Jews. In a related development, Mr. Hays, a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, released a statement disassociating himself from current SBC president Bailey Smith's well-publicized remark that "God almighty does not hear the prayer of a Jew." To believe that God hears only the prayers of Christians invoking the name of Christ, Mr. Hays declared, "would be to shut out from God's love and care the largest part of the world's population, and to abrogate to ourselves alone his mercy and favor, something Jesus never intended." Mr. Hays' statement, citing Jesus' endorsement of the Jewish Publican's prayer in the Temple and the fact that Jesus' model prayer "made no mention of himself," goes on to state that "there is no basis for claiming that Jesus' name must be mentioned like an open sesame to God's attention." The statement concludes by declaring that because the purpose of prayer "is worship and the desire to learn the divine will, the way to God should be, and is, open to everyone, saint and sinner, Jew, Moslem and Christian." The film on Mr. Hays' career, "Return to Little Rock," was sponsored by the Arkansas chapter of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, which helped to produce it with funding from various foundations, including the Arkansas Council on the Humanities. Dr. David Hyatt, NCCJ president, presented a mass media award to the film's producer, David Solomon. The free lance film maker said that he had been long impressed with Mr. Hays' ability to reach out and influence young people to engage in politics for constructive social change, a fact emphasized in the half-hour motion picture. Focusing on Mr. Hays' conciliatory role in the Little Rock school desegregation crisis in 1957, the movie portrays the former congressman as a statesman committed to human and civil rights. The film recalls Mr. Hays' efforts as a conciliator between Arkansas Gov. Orvil [sic] Faubus, a staunch segregationist, and President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who ordered federal troops to integrate Little Rock's Central High School in compliance with a court order. (more) PAGE -6-

CINCINNATI -- Reds utility infielder Miguel Cairo, who has been on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring, left for Class A Dayton to start a rehabilitation assignment. Cairo will play Thursday night, Friday and Saturday."If everything goes right, I will meet the team in Milwaukee," said Cairo, who turns 38 on Friday. Cincinnati begins a three-game series vs. the Brewers on Monday at Miller Park. Cairo is expected to get four at-bats per game to test his leg. "The big thing is playing defense and reacting to balls and running the bases when you get a hit," said Cairo, who went on the 15-day DL on April 17.
Baker finds playing time for bench vs. Cubs
CINCINNATI -- For a variety of reasons, Reds manager Dusty Baker wrote a lineup on Thursday morning that was a departure from the norm.Center fielder Drew Stubbs was not in it, nor was third baseman Scott Rolen, shortstop Zack Cozart and catcher Ryan Hanigan. Against Cubs starter Ryan Dempster, Chris Heisey started in center field and led off, while the struggling Willie Harris played third base, Wilson Valdez was at shortstop and Devin Mesoraco was behind the plate. "We've got a lot of [baseball to play], and you have to get some guys playing time so they're ready when you need them," Baker said. "Sometimes you do it one at a time, and sometimes you do it as mass substitutions. Plus, the guys I am not playing haven't had a whole bunch of success against Dempster." Stubbs entered the day in a 0-for-14 funk and was 4-for-21 lifetime (.190) vs. Dempster.
"Drew was going pretty good, and now he's starting to scuffle a little bit," Baker said. "I want to stop it before it gets chronic."Stubbs was on a tear for a while, especially when he batted second in the order, where he was 13-for-39 (.333) with one homer and six RBIs. One player who really needs to get going is Harris, who entered the day batting just .097 (3-for-31) this season.
Rookie reliever Hoover impressing Reds
CINCINNATI -- His time in the Majors has been brief thus far, but rookie reliever J.J. Hoover has been impressive. Over four innings in three appearances entering Thursday, Hoover has yet to give up a run."I'm getting there," Hoover said of his comfort level in the big leagues. "I'm still getting those adrenaline rushes out of the way. I try to stay within myself. My first couple outings, it kind of got away, and I was rushing to the plate and everything. But I'm ironing those things out now." Hoover was acquired in the April 1 trade that sent third baseman Juan Francisco to the Braves. During Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Cubs, Hoover pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning. He struck out Reed Johnson with a 94-mph fastball for the final out. "When I'm out there, I just think to be ready when the phone rings," Hoover said. "I never want to be caught unaware."
Worth noting
Reds manager Dusty Baker was saddened over the news that former NFL linebacker Junior Seau died of what was reported to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest on Wednesday. Seau was 43. Baker had spoken to some people he knew from the Chargers, Seau's former team."I knew him. We weren't tight buddies, but I knew him through guys I knew over there for a long time," Baker said. "You saw the pain that was in his mother's eyes and everything."

January 2010 bottle.
Drinking at cellar temp.
This beer pours very black, glugs from the bottle like motor oil. The head on this beer is an incredible dark espresso color. This beer just looks awesome. The smell is very much like a dessert. German chocolate cake comes to mind, truffles, creme brulee, roasted nuts, and a nice rich espresso note. The aroma is world class. The taste does not fall short. Big rich creamy chocolate notes up front, cake like flavors, I also get a creamy like flavor that does remind me of creme brulee. This beer is just great, one of my favorite stouts, seriously good stuff.

4.58/5 rDev +8.8%
Appearance - This beer is darker than dark with a beautiful, full head. The head is very dark as well, a solid milky brown I'd say, and laced the hell out of my class. It was a beauty shop in the best sense.
Smell - This bouquet is a nice mix of roasty malts, coffee grounds, and dark chocolate from the finest shop in San Francisco. The raw coffee grounds and dark chocolate work incredibly well together, giving this one a very bitter nose.
Taste - Oh, this is really good. The notes from the nose are here in spade, but the roasted malts are super-juiced and are much sweeter at the tongue. It's a dark sweetness, again like chocolate, maybe mixed with some brown sugar. The alcohol, which I didn't pick up at the nose, is very much present at the taste. This is very rich and has what I call a "pre-aged" flavor, meaning that it takes on that good, syrupy flavor that you get after aging a strong, complex stout.
Mouthfeel - This medium to full-bodied stout is slick in the mouth and very bitter. The big sugars take the bite out of the bitterness and the huge alcohol warms the throat. All the flavors play amazingly well in the mouth. This has what I consider to be a perfect balance of dark, bitter malts, light leafy hop dryness, mouth-puckering sugars, and a sharp but mature alcohol warmth.
Drinkability - This was beer, dinner, and dessert all rolled into one. It was incredibly drinkable for such a big ADS.
Comments - Do not age this beer. Drink as is for best results.
Update - It had been five years since I've had this beer before they started selling it in SoCal so thought I'd give my original review an update.
I wrote before about how dark and beautiful the head was but just can't emphasize it enough. It is absolutely one of the most beautiful heads I have ever seen and it sticks around for eternity. As you drink the beer the film leaves thick rings on the inside of your mug almost like ring on a tree bark.
The only other thing that I would add, which I mentioned at the end of my original review, is that although this style of beer is good for aging, this should be consumed upon purchase. You age a big, dark, malty beer like this to bring out the sugars but the sweets here are so well-developed that there's no need to hold this in a cellar.

Poured a pitch black with no light shoowing thru even when held up to a strong light with a mocha colored creamy two fingered head that took its time to settle leaving a ring of lace behind.Big bitter chocolate aromas along with an underlying earthiness from a nice dose of hop thrown in obviously with a beer so dark you are also gonna get a big roasty aroma as well.What I like best about this beer is the fact its no overly sweet like a alot of Impy souts are sue u get the chocolate and roasted elemants but what a great earthy/dry fifnsh gives this beer such balance making it just so damn drinkable.Creamy mouthfeel this beer glides down easy,another gem from Great Divide their big beer kick immense ass and I will keep enjoying them.
Wow I thought this beer was categorized as a Imperial Stout but a double stout it is and rightly so,damn good.

22 oz Bomber from Warehouse Liquors.
Appearance: Chocolate Velvet with assertive lacing. Pitch black. Dark brown head like the bottom of a cup of Turkish coffee. The bubbles are just plain fun to watch disperse after the pour. Like a herd of wildebeests crossing the Nile during Gator mating season, these little black-brown bubbles scatter from the head back into the brew from which they came.
Aroma: Tit bit of spice entwined in coffee and chocolate. Carmel macchiato sans crème. Blueberries.
Taste: More Blueberries then a Muffin shop in Maine. Plentiful amounts of coffee and chocolate. A pinch of juniper in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Like drinking a cloud. Wet bitter finish. Well hopped. Burns the tongue a little, its so bitter.
Drinkability: Great. To easy for 9.5 ABV.

Reviewed from notes written on 12/3/10.
Yeti pours scorched engine oil black with a fast disappearing, dark mocha head into my uber large snifter. When swirled and agitated a bit, the head returns and retains well. The lacing is rather sticky with vertical lines of small dots.
Very toasty malts and a strong hop presence lead me to smell notes of chewing tobacco. Really strong chewing tobacco. Other aromas include baseball glove leather, anise, cigar, dark chocolate, mocha-latte, and roasted peanuts. This is an original smell that makes me excited to imbibe.
At first, that chewing tobacco tang combines with a fine roasted malt flavor that really bombards the bitter receptors of my palate. I have to believe that that bitter tang is also the result of copious hops in this brew. As that initial tang washes away, a nice balance of toffee, coffe, and dark chocolate flavors emerge. Wow, this is right up there with Storm King for huge hop Character in an Imperial Stout.
A thrilling combination of bitter tang and a coating, rich fullness make for a very unique mouthfeel. It's just a little more aggressive than I would generally like in an IS MF, but I rate it high for excitement and originality.
I will certainly try Yeti again, but I might age my next bottle for awhile. This particular bottle had roughly seven months on it and it still felt raw and aggressive on my palate. I generally prefer slightly more mellow Imperial Stouts and I imagine this would turn into that with a little more bottle time.

A bottle from DEC 06 2011
A: A black beer that pours with a finger of creamy, medium brown head made of mousse-like,compact bubble.
S: An awesome smelling beer with moderately-strong aromas of unsweetened chocolate, coffee and roasted malt. A moderately-light citrus hops aroma and light perfume alcohol aroma.
T: A thick, smooth moderately-strong flavors of unsweetened chocolate flavor, roastiness and coffee with some malt sweetness and molasses . There is a moderate hops bitterness and a citrus hops flavor. The balance is moderately towards the bitterness. The alcohol certainly does go unnoticed but it doesn't over well. The finish balanced between dry and sweet with a bitter chocolate aftertaste.
M: Full bodied with moderate carbonation that is made of fine bubbles give evne more of an impression of weight on the palate.
O: Well I've got a new favorite stout, it's been far to long since I've enjoyed a bottle of this world class stout. This beer has layers of rich flavor from dark grains giving chocolate and coffee with some sweetness the balanced by a firm hops bitterness. this beer just brings ton of flavor sip after delightful sip.

Bottled 11-23-09
Poured inky black with a big, creamy brown head.
Aromas of burnt cookies, gentle roast, coffee, and a pleasant, piney hoppiness.
Thick and robust with lots of roasty, bitter chocolate, wood, the alcohol is present but doesn't dominate, and the finish and dry and very bitter from the massive hop character. Classy, right along with the entire Yeti series.

Another cold day here in Chicago and I wanted to warm myself up. Picked this brew up at Binny's in the South Loop. Don't know that much about Great Divide but selected this because of it's reputation. The label would certainly not have enticed me but never judge a beer...
A: Poured from a bomber, I got a nice 2 finger head. Beautiful golden brown head that started clinging to the glass immediately. Slick and black looking liquid. A hint of red in the black and hardly a touch of ruby on the edges against the light - dense stuff. A thin head remained throughout and the lacing was fantastically fine.
S: Lovely deep, stale roasted malt. There's a caramel malt sweetness there too. I can smell the alcohol but it's not very dominating considering the ABV. Coffee came across dominantly in the roastiness but some tartness with the alcohol like black cherry.
T: First taste was a very big malt followed by a bite that wasn't a tart fruit, it was actually a hefty clout of hops. Very sour hop finish with a malt breadiness. Very nicely orchestrated progression and very enjoyable. When I have had brews that try to deliver massive malt and hop, one tends to dominate. With this brew, the malt is destined to win (because it's a Stout) but because the two play out at different times in the progression, you feel like they both get to have their 15 minutes of fame without butting heads. I think this qualifies it as well balanced in my book. I had a feeling that I would enjoy this as it warmed up and I wasn't wrong. Just got deeper and more malty but kept a nice hop bite that makes the finish active and leaves a hop aggressiveness in the mouth that then welcomes the return of the malt. This beer just really works for me.
M: Full bodied, smooth and creamy. Light on the carbonation. Perfect.
D: It's obviously a heavy beer but very drinkable - knocked it back way too quickly and felt the rosie cheeks and buzz. Would love to drink one after another but the high ABV makes that impossible.
I was starting to despair about not finding Stouts that I truly enjoyed but, I have broken my cold spell - this is my new go-to IRS.

On tap at the Lost Dog Lounge in Ithaca, NY, inexplicably served in a plastic pint glass (whose shockingly effective insulation made it really, really hard to warm up).
Very thin dark tan head (par for the course on a Russian Imperial Stout with this much alcohol), but it definitely stuck around, even as I held my beer for twenty minutes or so to warm it up. Very nice lacing on the glass (well, plastic), and a dark, inky, opaque near-black.
Nice toffee and caramel aroma with some darker coffee and chocolate hiding back there. A little bit of herbal hops back there, too, and some nonspecific fruitiness. A big, pleasing smell overall.
Huge malty, toffee flavor, secondary on the chocolate and coffee flavors. The finish is beautiful; the alcohol and hops take it from an incredibly sweet brew to a nice, crisp dryness that lingers with some herbal flavors. Definitely a big, thick brew that coats the mouth and the tongue; very satisfying.
Big, tasty, and gets a lot right as far as I'm concerned. I would, however, definitely consider this a food beer. The first time I had it (from a bottle, not on tap), it was with barbecued spare ribs, and it was just about the best beer/food combination ever. On its own, it's a little harder to down, especially because it's not as much of a dessert beer as something like Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout.

Glugs out a black as dark as the Mariana Trench. Very nice malted milk-colored head. Smell's a touch weak, but what I can detect is nice. Taste is a little bitter, but sweet at the same time, with figgy raisin flavors dominating. Mouthfeel's creamy, but the aftertaste isn't the greatest. Alcohol is well hidden. Not that I'd gulp this down, but it's highly drinkable.
This is an outstanding Imperial Stout, very warming on a cold fall night/early morning. I think this beer and I are going to get to know each other much better as the weather grows colder.

Poured nearly opaque black with a nice and thick chocolate milk colored head on top. Very inviting and just what I wanted to see when I poured this one. Smell is mainly slightly sweet with malts and with some vinous aspects which add to the slight sweetness. The background is of coffee with light hints of chocolate. Could be a bit more powerful in the aroma department, but good none the less. Mmm the taste is quite amazing and very complex. Initially there is a toasted malt flavor which quickly transitions over to a mild chocolate and finishes with a coffee aftertaste. This flavor profile covers all that I expect in an impy stout. Mouthfeel is full but not as creamy thick as other impy stouts Ive had. Drinkability is good as well, but the slight biting effects of alcohol in this one brings it down a bit.

Easy Calabacitas or Squash with Onions, Chiles, and Cheese
(about 4 servings, recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from many sources)
4 medium zucchini or yellow squash
(or use two of each like I did)
1 onion, chopped
1 can (4 oz.) diced green chiles (also called Anaheim chiles, do not use jalapenos unless you like really spicy food)
1 cup plus 1/4 cup grated low fat Mexican cheese blend or grated cheddar cheese
1 T olive oil, (more or less depending on your pan)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
I used Kraft Mexican Four Cheese Blend which is a mixture of reduced fat Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Colby, and Mozzarella cheese. If you buy the 2% milk cheese, there is about 6 grams of fat in a serving. If you can't find this cheese, use any reduced fat cheddar.
South Beach Suggestions:
The cheese I used is actually one of the foods with the new "South Beach Diet approved" logo, and this is a great dish for the South Beach Diet any phase. Calabacitas would taste great with Friday Night Salmon or Sauteed Tilapia with Parmesan Crust, which could qualify as an easy recipe too!

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers the inks used in tattoos to be cosmetics, and takes action to protect consumers when related safety issues arise. At the other end of the tattoo process, FDA also regulates laser devices used to remove tattoos.
The FDA has approved several types of lasers as light-based, prescription devices for tattoo lightening or removal. A Massachusetts company recently received FDA clearance to market its laser workstation for the removal of tattoos and benign skin lesions.
According to a poll conducted in January 2012 by pollster Harris Interactive, 14 percent of the 21 percent of adults who have tattoos regret getting one. And the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) reports that in 2011, its doctors performed nearly 100,000 tattoo removal procedures, versus only 86,000 a year earlier.
Not that simple
Unfortunately, removing a tattoo is not as simple as changing your mind.
Artists create tattoos by using an electrically powered machine that moves a needle up and down to inject ink into the skin, penetrating the epidermis, or outer layer, and depositing a drop of ink into the dermis, the second layer. The cells of the dermis are more stable compared with those of the epidermis, so the ink will mostly stay in place for a person's lifetime. Tattoos are meant to be permanent.
An effective and safe way to remove tattoos is through laser surgery, performed by a dermatologist who specializes in tattoo removal, says FDA's Mehmet Kosoglu, Ph.D., who reviews applications for marketing clearances of laser-devices.
Lasers used for decades
"Laser" stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Kosoglu says that pulsed lasers, which emit concentrated light energy in short bursts, or pulses, have been used to remove tattoos for more than 20 years.
However, it can be a painstaking process. "Complete removal, with no scarring, is sometimes not possible," Kosoglu notes.

Backpacker Magazine – June 2007
Arizona's Havasu Canyon is a hiker's paradise famed for its jaw-dropping waterfalls. But now there's trouble in paradise—serious trouble.
"Drug use related to violent crime is an issue all over, but the effects of narcotics in a small community like Supai are magnified," says BIA assistant special agent Jason Thompson, who oversees law enforcement in the agency's Arizona district. "Three kids on meth is an outbreak down there." The village delinquents have a reputation for preying on tourists to fund their next hit. "We have four to five people in the tribe right now who are opportunists looking to steal," BIA officer Kendrick Rocha told me on that January visit.
Larry Richard wishes he'd been warned about these bandits before he hiked into Supai last October for a three-night camping trip. The Springfield, Virginia native had seen images on the Travel Channel and been inspired to visit. His first night in the campground, Richard says, two young Native American men shined a flashlight in his face through the tent door. They turned the flashlight on and off as Richard lay there motionless. "I was really afraid. My heart was just racing," he recalls. "I've been working in thebowels of DC for 20 years and been exposed to all types of bad guys, but I've never felt fear like I did down there. I felt completely trapped." Then the men ripped through Richard's belongings in camp. They grabbed his food bag and sat on a picnic table 10 yards from his tent and ate their fill. Richard watched them move on to other campsites and do the same thing. He hiked out the next day in disgust—too afraid to stay, and fearful of reporting the incident to tribal police.
Unlike law enforcement rangers in a national park, who patrol campgrounds and protect visitors, Supai police must prioritize keeping order in the village. "The tourists need to understand that this is private place where the tribe allows people to come in," said officer Kaulaity. "We are not here for the tourists but for the locals." Protecting the locals from one another has become tougher lately, due to a surge in assaults and cutbacks in BIA funding. When Hanamure was murdered last May, the Supai police force was down to three cops. Kaulaity says there were supposed to be six. At times, he or Rocha would work 30 hours without a break. According to FBI officials, Supai is experiencing a spike in violent crime. Between May 2006 and January 2007, the agency opened 10 new assault investigations. That represents more cases than in the previous four years combined.
On my first trip, staying at the Supai Lodge with Austin, I heard distant screaming throughout the night. The shrieks were mixed with rounds of barking dogs and what I thought were fireworks. The next night, Austin was playing on the lodge lawn with a boy named Righteous and a 10-year-old girl—both grandchildren of lodge employees. The kids' teenage aunts were nearby, in a shack the size of an outhouse, hunched over a fire. A popping sound echoed off the canyon walls. "Sounds like fireworks," I said to the girl.
"Oh no, it's guns," she said. "You shouldn't have heard that."
While FBI and BIA officials are concerned about the rising incidence of assault and drug use in Supai, the reservation isn't unique for its high rate of violent crime. Department of Justice statistics indicate that violent crime among American Indians is twice the U.S. average. Lintner has seen the impact on Navajo and Apache reservations, noting that meth is usually involved in homicides on Navajo land. He says crime spikes on other reservations are typically attributed to an increase of men between the ages of 15 and 25, and to a surge in meth use.
But Havasupai differs from other poor, crime-ridden reservations, because there's a secondary population of potential victims strolling through daily: tourists. And even as Lintner locks up the latest batch of delinquents, a new crop is coming of age. U.S. Census data shows 36 percent of the Havasupai population is between the ages of 15 and 25.
America has the WORST maternal death rate of any industrialised nation
which does not have Chanel coco bag http://www.gayhotdeal.com/chanel-coco-c-14.html, a national health service and there are vast differences between rich and poor and access to decent healthcare. When I lived in the US a large number of my work colleagues had no health insurance at all, which shocked me. Countries which have the highest taxes like Norway, Sweden, France etc tend to have better healthcare, better maternity leave provision http://www.gayhotdeal.com/chanel-wallets-c-6.html, chanel vintage bag and quality of life. Even the UK!
This pop up add has no way to close it so that I can get to the page I was trying to get to. This magazine must suck.
Just visited Havasupai this past June 2013 and was appalled and shocked by the indolent and disgusting behavior by those of the Supai village, not to mention their total mistreatment and disregard for the health of their animals. I know this is not "Disney Land" as one person mentioned but it should also not be thought of as a safe place to visit. Our group of 8 nurses hiked down, camped and explored. The nature in Havasuapi, which has NOTHING to do with the Suapi Indians is beautiful and worth the effort. However, one of the women in our group became ill the day of our hike out and nearly died of dehydration due to the lack of help and action from the people of Suapi including the town doctor who reminded us, no less than four times, that it would, "cost us" to get our friend treated in the clinic. We pleaded with the helicopter operator to give our friend a seat out (which we paid for), as soon as possible and he refused to move her to the front of the line without a note from the doctor. We convinced the doctor to speak to the helicopter man. When he did, he joked about getting a cut of the money for drumming up more business! The helicopter man agreed to put her on but insisted she would have to ride alone even though she could no longer stand up. Several other tourists were willing to give up their seats in front of us so one of us could accompany our friend. The helicopter man told them that they could not give their seat to us without being moved to the end of the line for their ride out. As things became very bad for our friend,unbeknownst to the helicopter operator, we switched spots with several tourists and got our friend to the top. The time it took to get the town doctor to come to our friend and tell us that we had to pay him, and to get our friend on the helicopter took over an hour. With her condition swiftly declining we knew that time was of the essence but the people on Suapi that we dealt with, simply did not seem to care about the fate of those funding their livelihood. Once to the top and in the car on the road out, our friend went into shock and had dangerously low blood pressure and ended up having to be air evacuated out as she started going into cardiac arrest. I know this is an impoverished place that has many problems. I also know that even though tourism funds their livelihood, there resentment towards the, "White man", is still palpable in Suapi. Regardless, nationality, economic status, past travesties towards the Indians etc, should not excuse or make our fiend's near death experience acceptable or even understandable. My only advice for anyone thinking of hiking into Havasupai is to go armed with the knowledge that you are literally taking your life into your own hands. And just FYI... Although it has not made it into the papers yet, a woman just died in Havasupai this past weekend from a falling tree branch in the campground!!!

Just got back literally hours ago from hiking/caming in Supai. All be it, I had a great time and saw some great sites and did tons of hiking....the area and this village are very very sketchy. It is kind of ironic when you sign the "Rules Form" there is a statement saying no alcohol when you can see in the eyes of some villagers that they are drunk or on some type of narcotic. Not to mention the 10 mile trail being littered with liquer bottles and beer cans that is clearly the doing of "tourists" who hike with excess alcohol weight ;l .The village is full of punks running around wearing baggy clothes and listening to rap music. They say not to judge a book by the cover but judging by the grafitti, the trash, the hazed over eyes, and the rudeness of some of these people, a book tells a very telling story. The town is littered to the T. The horses and mules are treated horribly, and the campground/village arent as it seems. Save your time and effort people and find a better outing. As I said I had a good time and saw some great sites but this place is very very VERY skethcy.
no need for all the name calling. all this seems to have come about with what the white man has invented. it was because of these old time hikers that brought down all this. If that did not happen then maybe we would not have all this technology coming down here. So Do Not complain

I find it interesting that different readers with different experiences focus on different aspects of this article.
I think the author did an excellent job of putting the murder in a broader social and historical context. She never told people not to visit Havasupai, only that women should not hike alone - which is advice that applies on all trails throughout the world.
The author was very honest in her description of the reticence of the local people. A critical reader should be able to realize that maybe she wasn't told the whole story. She never claimed it was the whole story - just the story she was told.
I taught and lived on a reservation for several years, so on my three wonderful visits to Havasupai, I was not shocked or appalled by the condition of the village. Appearances can be deceiving and often reflect a differing set of priorities rather than a lack of stewardship or wealth.
During my visits in the summers of 2007, 2008, and 2009, I was polite and respectful and the same courtesies were bestowed upon me. I don't recall being approached by any teenagers... but I am a high school teacher and would not have viewed any such conversation as unusual. Teenage boys try to intimidate me on a daily basis. But I never felt threatened, thankfully.
Do not hesitate to visit Havasupai, just know that you are hiking through their home and be respectful. Understand that you are visiting a reservation which is in many ways like a separate country. Take precautions like you would if hiking in Central America or Southeast Asia or wherever.
For unrelated reasons, I was unable to visit this summer or last summer, but I look forward to returning next summer. It truly is a wondrous place of healing waters.

Jdub, you hit the nail on the head so to speak.
Too many tourists feel they "deserve" to be somewhere and are entitled to the easiest way possible, whether that means Helicoptor's or Mules.
It is a damn shame.
After guiding trips to Supai annually since 2000, the place is in the worst shape ever.
As much as it is an oasis in the desert it is being destroyed. The overcrowding campers in such a small area is resulting in litter and toilet issues. The bathrooms they built recently are nice but keep getting flooded away and they won't be able to burden that cost over and over again. Originally you dug a hole, then porta-potties. Now with so many people they need a "system" but the place is prone to flooding.
The earth, people, and the indians lost Navajo Falls from the '08 floods which elminated 80% of the trees and added 6 feet of dirt in the campsite. That act alone did great damage.
Then the flood of '09!
To me the canyon needed a good "sweeping up" and mother nature did it. But they haven't learned anything. The answer is not more people but less.
So long as the indians try to "make more money" rather than PRESERVE THE LAND, we will all lose.
If it were me, I would eliminate the helicopters and donkeys. If you can't backpack the 10 miles....tough! You can't helicopter to the top of Everest either. Hopefully never!
But our PC culture will be offended by my statement and in 2020 a paved wheel-chair ramp will take you to Havasu Falls.....and it won't be worth a damn.
Supai is a mircocosm of what ails America.........
.....excess. Too much. Whether it be excess debt, excess stuff, excess work, excess stress, excess concern with money, EXCESS!
Which leads to fake lifestyles. People live in houses they are losing, drive cars they can't afford, and hate jobs they are forced to work at. All the while they go to an indoor climbing gym and then proceed to call themselves a rock climber! It's as ridiculous as the Supai having a twitter feed.
What made Supai great was their minimalism or simplicity. Their ability to survive so remotely.
It is what drew myself and others to their land.
But now they too are caught in the excess spiral and that spiral is down, just like America.
I hate to admit it but Supai is so last century.
The brave explorers who really backpack or rock climb have moved on and found new, private, and remote areas more beautiful. The outdoors used to be a place where development, training, and maybe even apprenticeship led to an exhilirating experience. Today, you can see a North Face jacket at an art fair, take a helicopter to Supai, and floss a 5.10 at the gym.....but in reality you aren't doing a damn thing!
Now, when you go the Havasu Falls you will get in line to swim in the fake pools created by sandbags as an empty Cheeto's bag floats into your lap.
Damn shame.
I doubt my comment will be read but I'll try anyway
People don't understand that native americans are actually MORE susceptible to being addicted to drugs and alcohol because of their biology. They are also more likely to be diabetic as well. The arrival of drugs and high sugar diet really hurt them. I learned this from a native australian.
This high susceptibility makes it difficult for them to get over the addiction and really magnifies the problem. The tribe that I met, it was the women who finally decided they had enough and the alcohol ban is strictly enforced to stop the violence.
I went there 2 weeks after the murder of the young girl, did not know at the time, we found out 3 weeks after we hiked there. My husband a I stayed at the Lodge, the door looked like it had been kiked open previous, that was scarry, but we figured some one problably got locked out, and kicked it in. We went out to talk to other people staying there they told my husband to keep an eye on me because there was trouble with the locals, the Restaurant that caters to hikers, the windows had been boken by one family, 2 families were having conflicts, because they did not like the fact that they cater to hikers. There was a lesbian couple on the bottom flor of the Lodge we were witness to this the children were calling them them all kinds of names, They left early. We had fun I even had a book that I bought there autographed by Supai Waters. They do have Police there, but no matter where you go you should still be carefull no matter where in the world, and always go with other people, avoid hiking alone.
Supai is a place of great personal and spiritual importance to me. I have been there three times in my life and have been baptized in the creek by my father in the mid seventies and proposed to my wife at hualapai hilltop in 1989. i now am considering taking my children and friends to this paradise. I was however concerned about the safety of my party because I had heard of locals at least harassing campers 20 years ago. I never had a problem and in fact loved the place. finding this site has concerned me and I would like to know from those in the know if in fact Supai has become what some have described here. Should I read the entire backpacker article? the murder of a hiker doesnt comfort me much.
Jenn, I'm sorry to say you are very misguided in your comments. The few days you spent and the beauty you've witnessed are short lived. You are best to speak with those who know. Those who are aware of the problems have spent many, many years there. Should you desire answers feel free to contact me. I can be found !!
Just back from an 8 day adventure in Havasupai. The indigenous people there were only caring, thoughtful and kind as were the fellow tourists/hikers. The tribe has worked diligently repairing the trail damage from last year's flood to amazing results. It's tragic that you all are avoiding such a genuinely enigmatic and rare spot on this earth to justify your own lack of tolerance and acceptance--Discounting an entire population based on one incident is akin to apartheid--and No, JT This beautiful little canyon and Supai village are NOT places of violence and death, and NO whomever, robbery & rape are NOT everyday issues, and the person who wrote about the children attacking teachers and the 300% higher than national average addiction rate--did you make that up--I can't seem to find any evidence or information that supports that.
It is hard to respect the Havasupai for doing this to themselves and their land.
You blame people who are long dead, and you are as racist as the worst racists.
You embrace misery -- perhaps some of you are right, and the recent floods were to smite you. The "white" people you so loathe take far better care of the land than YOU do. Look in the mirror for the shame that is so well-deserved. I did nothing to you. But you CONTINUE to be your own worst enemies. Pathetic.
No reverence from me for people who respect nothing, but expect everyone else to respect them blindly. You are NOT worthy.
This place, Havasupai Village, is filled with violence and drugs with an addicition rate 300% higher than the national average. Small school children have been arrested for trying to attach teachers and playmates while high on meth, the drug of choice in the Village.
Robbery of tourist/hikers as well as rape and beatings are every day issues in the Village. You can find more drugs in the Village per capita than you will in an major city.
This is a place of violence and death with no social justice since the Indians say they are a seperate and independent nation and not bound by the outsiders laws....good luck if you travel there.

But, they are allowed to be racist (sarcasm).
thought it was a noteworthy poll to post especially in light of the Zimmerman trial where all the snoop doggs are claiming he received preferential treatment by the racist judicial system.
"If Zimmerman was black, he wouldn't even have gotten a trial."
http://today.duke.edu/2012/04/jurystudyJuries formed from all-white jury pools in Florida convicted black defendants 16 percent more often than white defendants, a gap that was nearly eliminated when at least one member of the jury pool was black, according to a Duke University-led study. The researchers examined more than 700 non-capital felony criminal cases in Sarasota and Lake counties from 2000-2010 and looked at the effects of the age, race and gender of jury pools on conviction rates. Among the key findings:-- In cases with no blacks in the jury pool, blacks were convicted 81 percent of the time, and whites were convicted 66 percent of the time. The estimated difference in conviction rates rises to 16 percent when the authors controlled for the age and gender of the jury and the year and county in which the trial took place.-- When the jury pool included at least one black person, the conviction rates were nearly identical: 71 percent for black defendants, 73 percent for whites.-- About 40 percent of the jury pools they examined had no black members and most of the others had one or two black members.-- When blacks were in the jury pool, they were slightly more likely to be seated on a jury than whites. The eligible jury population in these counties was less than 5 percent black.
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.


text: It is also funny to see many of the Kwan fans arguing her competition was super tough and the toughest ever by far in this thread, are the same ones who I remember in another thread a couple months ago saying the ISU elevated Slutskaya and invented her rivalry with Kwan, when Irina was not good enough to be one on the merits of her own skating (which I agree with by the way), all because they didnt want a 10 year Henie like run of dominance by Kwan and there was nobody else to challenge her. Now suddenly some of these same posters talking about her great and tough competition and field. Talk about a contradiction!
