Mediation in Multiple Group Analysis
Mplus Discussion
Structural Equation Modeling

I have conducted mediation analysis with INDIRECT using bootstrapping and I am interested in whether the significant mediation holds in the sub-groups. Can I use INDIRECT in multiple group analysis? I have done the multiple group testing up to the structural level per the UG recommendations. Thanks, Sue

MODEL INDIRECT can be used with multiple group analysis.

Dear Dr. Muth�n:
We are testing mediation models and we would like to see if there are sex differences on the IND pathway (multi-group analyses).
When searching on the Mplus forum discussion, we found this solution:
'If you have the estimate of the mediated effect and its SE for each of
the 2 groups, you can simply use those numbers to create the
approximately normal test variable:
(e1 - e2)/(se(e1-e2)),
where the denominator is sqrt(var(e1-e2)), where var(e1-e2) is var(e1)
+ var (e2), where var(e) is the square of the SE(e).'
Our questions are:
(1) Is there another way to conclude about differences between groups on the mediated effect (i.e., Mplus command)?
(2) If the formula above is the only way to conclude about differences between groups, is there a reference we could use?
Thanks a lot and have a nice day,

You can use MODEL TEST to compute a Wald test or you can do difference testing of the model where the parameter of interest in free across groups compared to a model where the parameter is held equal across groups. Difference testing is discussed on pages 434-435 of the Version 6 Mplus User's Guide.

Thank you very much for your quick answer,
Is it possible to fix:
alc89pr1 IND cr567pao know134;
to be equal across groups?
For example:
Model girls:
alc89pr1 IND cr567pao know134 (1);
Model boys:
alc89pr1 IND cr567pao know134 (1);

No, only parameters in the MODEL command. You could create the indirect effects in MODEL CONSTRAINT and use MODEL TEST to test their difference.

Thanks again,
We tried with this syntax:
USEVARIABLES ARE know134 osex567 alc1yn alc89pr1 ant1r struc1yn alc5r;
grouping are sexe (1=fille 2=gars);
MISSING = all (999);
alc89pr1 ON know134;
alc89pr1 ON osex567;
alc89pr1 ON alc5r;
osex567 ON know134;
know134 ON ant1r alc1yn struc1yn;
alc89pr1 IND osex567 know134;
model fille:
alc89pr1 ON know134 (c1);
alc89pr1 ON osex567 (b1);
osex567 ON know134 (a1);
model gars:
alc89pr1 ON know134 (c2);
alc89pr1 ON osex567 (b2);
osex567 ON know134 (a2);
MODEL constraint:
new(f g);
cinterval sampstat stand tech4;
Does it make sense? We were not able to specify bootstrapping with Model test.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, September 29, 2011 - 1:28 pm
This looks correct. If you want to use bootstrapping, you can run the model twice and do difference testing. You would run it once with the MODEL CONSTRAINT you show and then with
MODEL constraint:
new(f g);
0 = f - g;

I have a question regarding an error I get when i try to run the following model:
File is P.csv;
Names are P I M;
Usevariables are P I M;
Categorical are I M;
Model indirect:
The length of the data field exceeds the 40-character limit for free-formatted

Dear Linda, thanks a lot for your fast response, I figured it out and Mplus is now working like a dream ;-)
Please, can you advice me how to report the results below (A mediation-analysis with one dichotomous variable) And I need to report confidence intervals for the bootstrap analysis. I am a bit in a doubt how to report it. I haves search APA, but without luck. Can you help me???
Lower .5% Lower 2.5% Lower 5% Estimate Upper 5% Upper 2.5% Upper .5%
Effects from PCL to IPAS via MAS
Sum of indirect -0.192 -0.151 -0.136 -0.082 -0.034 -0.024 0.000
Specific indirect
Thanks again
Very best,
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Sunday, November 20, 2011 - 7:58 pm
You report the estimate and the 95% confidence interval which is the value for the Lower 2.5% and the Upper 2.5%.
If PCL is the dichotomous variable you mention, you might also want to report the corresponding STDY values, so not stand'ng wrt to the binary x (PCL).

posted on Monday, November 21, 2011 - 3:29 am
Thanks a lot, so to get it clear (sorry, but I am new in the realm of mediation-analysis ;-)
My mediator is the MAS-variable (dichotomous), so I report the point estimate -0.082 and 95% CI [-0.151, -0.024], right (see above).
And then the S.E. Est./S.E. as well for the MAS variable?
and that will be it?
Thanks a lot for your helpful comments!
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Monday, November 21, 2011 - 7:49 am
To report mediation results you want to also report the slope of MAS on PCL and the slopes of IPAS on MAS and PCL.
With a binary mediator, you may want to use the WLSMV estimator.
To learn about mediation, you may want to get the 2008 MacKinnon book.
And if you want to get serious about binary mediators, you should read my paper at

Dear Bengt,
I am wondering whether it is possible to do mediation analysis in Mplus with a categorical variable consisting of 4 subcategories? I have done it with a dichotomous variable, but would be very excited if it is possible with a 4-category mediator variable as well????
Thanks a lot,
Best Sune
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, December 06, 2011 - 9:19 am
In the past we would have said an unordered categorical variable could not be a mediator. See the following paper on the website where a new method is shown:
Muth�n, B. (2011). Applications of causally defined direct and indirect effects in mediation analysis using SEM in Mplus. Submitted for publication.

Dear Linda,
Thanks a lot, it sure looks very interesting and promising for future research possibilities...
I have looked into the article and the appendix as well, and I can see that there is syntax for a 3-categorical mediator, but can you in anyway help me with a syntax, if my mediator consist of 4 categories?
I would be very grateful since I have some very interesting psychological data where it would be superb with this opportunity.
Thanks a lot,

I'm using all observed variables in a path analysis with multiple groups (2 groups). I have the following in the model:
m1 m2 on x;
y1 y2 on m1 m2 x;
model indirect:
y1 ind x;
y2 ind x;
model lowses:
y1 on x (a1);
m1 on x (b1);
y1 on m1 (c1);
y1 on x (a3);
m2 on x (b3);
y1 on m2 (c3);
model highses:
y1 on x (a2);
m1 on x (b2);
y1 on m1 (c2);
y1 on x (a4);
m2 on x (b4);
y1 on m2 (c4);
model constraint:
new (f g);
model test:
However, y1 and m1 are based on similar measures (across time) and y2 and m2 are based on similar measures (across time). Should I run 2 models (one for y1 and m1 and one for y2 and m2) or keep the analysis as one (as above)? If I run it as above, I need to run one model constraint for predicting the indirect effects for y1 across the 2 groups and another for predicting the indirect effects for y2, right? Thanks!

I would think using one model as you show would be fine.
Yes, you would need specify both indirect effects in MODEL CONSTRAINT.

Thanks so much for your response! These boards as well as the manual help so much.
I was trying to re-run my model using Bootstrapping and CINTERVAL in the output. I know you said that MODEL TEST cannot be used and so 0 = f - g needs to be brought into the MODEL CONSTRAINT field. However, when I do this, I get an error of convergence: NO CONVERGENCE. SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN ITERATIONS. ESTIMATED COVARIANCE MATRIX NON-INVERTIBLE. CHECK YOUR STARTING VALUES. Do you have any advice?

I was wondering if it is computionally right to test with MODEL INDIRECT a model in which a latent dimension has an effect on a DV via a second latent dimension of which the DV is one of the observed variable. From a tehoretical perspective it make sense, but I am not sure if I cant translate it into SEM, that is:
f1 BY x1 x2 x3;
f2 BY z1 z2 dv1;
f2 on f1 (7);
dv1 on f1 (8);
dv1 on f2 f1;
In addition I wanted to test with a multi-group approche whether the mediation model holds in different group. Thus I constrained the relation between variables to be equal across groups.
Thank you!
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - 10:13 am
Yes, this is correct. Your MODEL and MODEL INDIRECT commands are not correct according to MODEL INDIRECT. It should be:
f1 BY x1 x2 x3;
f2 BY z1 z2 dv1;
f1 on f2 (7);
dv1 on f1 (8);
dv1 IND f2 f1;

Underrated: "He Really Started A Whole New, Revolutionary Style Of Music"
Tuesday, Oct 4, 2011 12:15AM
[SOHH features a new entertainment personality each week to speak on who they feel is the most underrated artist. After Cormega gave Kool G Rap the title last week, reality star Miss Tila names Houston's Chamillionaire SOHH Underrated.]
I grew up in Texas so I listened to a lot of chopped-n-screwed music. It was hot and then ten years later everyone jumped on the bandwagon. I was like, "What? I've been up on this since way back
in the day."
I think Chamillionaire [is most underrated]. Yeah, that's my boy.
When it comes to Chamillionaire, I just think back to the music that I grew up listening to way back then and then it got all popular and mainstream. When it got big, you began seeing people jumping on the bandwagon.
Cham and the rest of them really started a whole new, revolutionary style of music. I like him definitely [because] of the things he talks about, his flow and I think those types of artists don't get enough recognition.
What you're seeing is so many mainstream artists getting those looks like Eminem and Jay-Z. It's not that they're bad but there's so many other artists that are so, so talented and they don't get enough play as they should. And I think it's a shame but hey, it's the industry for you.
After Chamillionaire, I would also say Kid Cudi. Kid Cudi could freestyle his butt off. He really can.
Miss Tila, formerly Tila Tequila, is most known for her rise to fame in 2006 as MySpace's most popular artist and has appeared in multiple publications including Stuff, Maxim, Penthouse, as well as starred in her own television series. In addition to her work in fashion and TV, Tila is also a rapper/singer.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – A New Hanover County jury convicted a Castle Hayne man of robbery with a dangerous weapon Wednesday afternoon.
Jurors found 22-year-old Jamar Brown guilty of robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon.
On May 16, 2012, Brown and Tishaud Akeem McMillan ordered a pizza and had it delivered to an abandoned home.
When the driver arrived at the address, the two men came out of hiding and held the driver at knife point.
Brown went through the car looking for valuables while McMillan held the driver at knife point. McMillan was arrested the next day in connection to the robbery, but Brown was not June of this year.
Brown refused a plea deal, which McMillan accepted, that would have reduced his sentence to 19-42 months in jail for common law robbery and conspiracy to commit common law robbery. Instead, Brown will serve 51-72 months active in the Department of Adult Corrections.
District attorney Ben David spoke on that matter saying, "We're taking a very hard line on armed robberies of delivery drivers and sending a strong message that these victims will be protected."

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
"I'm trying to make the process of getting dressed a little simpler," New York-based designer Norisol Ferrari tells Style.com. "You don't want to have to fuss—I am a busy woman and I can't be looking to see where my blouse is all the time. I have to look smart from morning until I get to dinner."
It was that personal need for smart, transitional separates that inspired the Venezuela-born designer to launch her namesake bespoke line in 2009. "I had been looking for the perfect coat, and after searching everywhere I just decided to make one. The first day I wore it, I walked out of my apartment and I had a woman chase me down the street asking me where I got it—within three weeks I had three custom orders," she says. Since launching with a ten-piece collection, her luxe but functional jackets have caught the eye of Maxfield buyers (where the lines is sold exclusively) and high-profile women alike.
On Tuesday, Ferrari is set to roll out her latest collection at Lincoln Center. She already gave Style.com a look at what's to come: "Pockets in absolutely everything—I thought a lot about that," she says. "My motorcycle jacket has an iPad pocket, seriously." The jackets come in strong, masculine men's fabrics, tempered by lace, stretch silk, and organza tailoring details, a combination inspired by "Jean Harlow meets Tina Turner in Mad Max," she explains. Ferrari has a sharp eye for detail and a strong understanding of a good fit, and it shows in her work. As she continues to grow as a designer, she is one we have our eyes on.

It was another brutally cold week across our region, and the latest statistics prove it's been a tough winter.
Since December 1, until today, Grand Forks is ranked as having its tenth coldest winter on record, with an average temperature of one-point-six degrees. Fargo is not ranked in the top 15 for coldest winters.
However, when it comes to snow depth records, Fargo has its 13th snowiest winter on record with 22.9 inches so far. Grand Forks has it's 3rd snowiest winter on record with 39.8 inches.
Our long run of extreme cold could increase the potential for spring flooding by increasing the frost depth. A deeper frost depth means, water is more likely to flow into rivers, rather than seep into the ground.
However, the experts say at this point in our winter, all this snow is actually a benefit to decreasing the potential for spring flooding.
Mark Ewens, National Weather Service: "But since we've had a decent snow pack and the ground has been relatively covered, frost depths are not as deep as they could be… had the ground been bare or very saturated."
Ewens says the average frost depth around the Valley is 30-inches, which is much better than many other years. Plus, there's good news regarding areas that have more than average snow on the ground.
Mark Ewens: "But it's also been a pretty dry snow. We've had some awfully cold weather, when a lot of those snows occurred… not a lot of moisture content."
Ewens says all those factors and much more will be run through a computer model that forecasts spring flooding. That first… tentative report is set to be released Friday morning.
Mark Ewens: "So, there's going to be more snowfall, more pattern changes…. This is just a soft outlook. It kind of gives a heads up or status of where we are at this time."
The National Weather Service is scheduled to release it's initial, Spring flood forecast on Friday morning.

The Chiefs landed PFW's best unrestricted free agent still available, signing former Ravens OT Jared Gaither.
When free agency began, it looked like Gaither was going to sign with the Raiders, but the team did not think he was healthy enough. Gaither missed all of 2010 with a back injury.
A fifth-year veteran, Gaither has started 28 games in his career. His former Ravens teammates FB Le'Ron McClain and NT Kelly Gregg also joined the Chiefs during free agency.
The way we see it
If he is healthy, Gaither can prove to be a big asset for the Chiefs, who still need depth at the tackle position. ORT Barry Richardson and OLT Branden Albert are the starters, but tackle was a big position of need for the Chiefs that could use an upgrade.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Peoria Charter Coach has announced some changes to how it will provide transportation to and from Chicago.
Starting in July, buses will arrive at O'Hare International Airport by 7 a.m. so riders can catch early flights.
Buses will also depart later from O'Hare in case of late flights or cancellations.
In addition, the company will begin accepting airline vouchers to drop off customers at the Peoria and Bloomington airports. The Joliet transfers have been eliminated.
Peoria Charter officials say they worked with their drivers to restructure the new schedule for passengers.
"They know traffic patterns, as well as what time they get to O'Hare and Midway, and our customers tell them everything," says Peoria Charter President Bill Winkler. "We thank our customers for being bold enough to let us know what they want."
After requests from many customers, Peoria Charter will also provide free parking.
Commuters will have the option of leaving vehicles at Peoria Charter Plaza and boarding the bus before the Bradley University pick-up.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Two hockey fans from Slovakia saved their money for three years for a 10-day trip to St. Louis to watch the Blues.
Their plans were spoiled, however, by the NHL lockout. So Martin Miksa and Daniel Zeman decided to make the best of a bad situation and hopped on a bus to Peoria this weekend to see the Rivermen play instead.
"Our friends made some jokes that we're visiting the lockout," said Miksa, "but it's part of the game. Everyone knows we are big fans and everyone was trying to support us. It's kind of a depressing thing and they feel just like we feel, that it's a bad deal."
While they're in the United States, Miksa and Zeman are also planning to attend an NFL game and an NBA game.

Served into a Flying Dog pint glass
A: Pours dark brown with no head and very small lace.
S: Sweet malts, chocolate, roasted coffee
T: Bitter coffee roasted and hops goodness, caramel, alcohol warming feeling, thin bodied. There's no visual carbonation but it there's some tingle.
Overall the flavor it's very similar to the milk stout the only difference I suppose it's the lactose flavor.

Pours a deep brown with some reddish hue when held up to the light with very fizzy non existent head wich was very unexpected in a bad way,the aromas were quite nice though rummy and buttery with an underlying milk chocolate note as well.Really a pretty thin mouthfeel for an Impy stout but a nice melding of flavors rum and bitter chocolate dominate upfront with a earthy,dry finish.This beer has some highs and lows a nice aroma and some flavor qualities but the thin mouthfeel and appearance left some to be desired.

2008 vintage. I've had this in my fridge for almost two years and now I shall open it.
Pours almost black but has some reddish hues in the light. Not much for head either.
The nose is pretty complex, filled with licorice, dark chocolate nibs, smoke, and some dark fruit character.
Very dark and rich flavors of black licorice, fig, ash, black currant, and a little heat in the long, dry, chocolaty finish. Definately has a presence.
The body and carbonation have held up well. I would like to revist this in a couple more years.

3.25/5 rDev -14.7%
Poured very black with a touch of ruby on the edges of the glass. Poured a decent creamy tan head but dissipated quickly and some lacing. Smelled fairly nice-roasted barley and chocolate up front. The taste was fairly disappointing though. I expected to be blasted with chocolate but it tasted like unsweetened bakers chocolatem unpleasant bitterness and had an unexpected sourness on it. There was also a little hint of plastic flavor that was unexpected. The finish sweetened with pleasant caramel notes, and there was a fairly creamy mouthfeel. The alcohol crept up on you but was not a dominant flavor. Overallm I did not enjoy this beer. It had some decent characteristics, but I wouldn'y buy again. I prefered the left hand milk stout much more than the imperial.

3.35/5 rDev -12.1%
A fairly dark brew, but not opaque by anymeans. Somewhat of a dark plum color. Head is just off-white. Never really formed though and only left a few pockets of bubbles on top.
Aroma isn't overly strong. Alcohol is prominant. Toasted malts and dark fruits work well together with the alcohol. Possibly some floral type hops as well.
10%...no kidding with this one, haha. Lots of sweetness. Again dark fruits, some plums and raisins. The toastedness comes up towards the end. Not much to it really. A good bit of alcohol and a lot of sweetness sums it up. The more I drink the less I like. I dunno...its just okay. It has RIS characteristics but just weak overall and too much alcohol that isn't backed up with anything overly tasty.
Mouthfeel is a bit thin, even for the style which I generally find thinner than most other stouts. Drinkability is okay really. Nothing offensive about this one, but nothing overly special either. Overall it goes down smooth and sits light, even with the alcohol.

3.8/5 rDev -0.3%
Presentation: 1pint, 6oz brown bomber bottle. No freshness date. This is an unfiltered offering.
Appearance: Pours a black beer with ruby red edges. Head is a pillowy, creamy, tan head with excellent head retention.
Smell: Sherri, wet paper (oxidation), esters, rich malts in the nose and soft floral hop aromas.
Taste: Massive full-bodied brew with a smooth and ultra-creamy mouthfeel. Malt is the dominant character of this beer with a robust combination of chocolate, syrupy sweetness, burnt/roasted flavours, touch of caramel, juicy fruit / grape, raisin and more sherri and wet paper (oxidation). Hop bitterness is not really perceived, however their are tea-like hop flavours present. Actually as the beer warms a leafy hop character also pulls thru, maybe a touch of citrus too. Alcohol is very warming and imparts a spicy, near peppery, character. Finish is surprisingly clean, with just a touch of grain dryness.
Notes: Even though my sample appears to be a bit oxidized, this is still a superb example of the style and an excellent brew.

4.1/5 rDev +7.6%
22 ounce bottle, poured into my nonic. Dark brown but not opaque, rather light colored head for an Impy. Aroma of brown bread, roastiness, and a smooth malt-alcohol mixture.
This is an Impy? So freaking smooth - yeah, there's alcohol subdued in the finish, but on the way there it's a milk chocolate and espresso kind of sweetness alongside dark sugared figs with a faint roastiness in the background. Ever have a Murphy's? Crank up that amp to about 9.5. Exceedingly drinkable and impeccably smooth - the 10+% ABV remains well hidden throughout. Nothing really grabs you with this beer - yet I wonder if that's by design? Hops? What are hops? The beer equivalent of a bigass chocolate malted.
I could have three of these. But then I'd fall down and have to be escorted from the premises. Don't do that.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights. You can barely see some yeast floaties in there. It has a small fizzy brown head that quickly dissipates to a collar then completely diminishes.
The aroma is chocolate, figs, cherries, and wood with a slight hint of alcohol.
The flavor is bitter anise and some chalky chocolate and a touch of sweet dark fruit. There is a strong smokey alcohol flavor that is a little overbearing. The nouthfeel is thin to medium-bodied and not very carbonated with a sticky, bitter,chalky finish.
Overall, I did not like this nearly as well as the Oak Aged version. This was too sharp and biting in comparison to the mellowed out oak-aged version. I couldn't get past the chalky bitterness and the strong alcohol.

Left Hand Imperial Stout --> big stein.
A - Pours black. Aggressive pour leaves a bit of creamy tan head, that settles into a tiny cap on the beer.
S - Dark chocolate, some smoky roasted malts.
T - Alcoholic chocolate milkshake! Lots and lots of chocolate in this one. A good bit of bourbon or maybe vodka booziness, which increases as the beer warms. Some vanilla, coffee, more smoky roasted malts. Just the tiniest bit of hops here and there. This is really sweet for an IS. Tastes a lot like their milk stout, just stronger and heavier on the booze.
M - Pleasantly creamy and thick. Carbonation is just right for the sweetness, it really fills out the palate.
D - Pretty high, but this is definitely on the sweet side. If you're not into sweet stouts, than this will probably be a bit much.
Pretty decent IS. Not the greatest or most complex out there, but nice. Very accessible for a big beer.

Pours a very dark brown with a nice 1/2 inch, light brown head that retains very well. Some lacing is left behind with each sip. Aroma is very nutty. Some hints of cocoa, lactose, and a slight roastiness. Taste is is ripe with dark fruits, much alcohol is evident, very sweet, and not much roastiness at all on the palate. This isn't my type of stout at all. Mouthfeel is sort of thin for the style and a little too much carbonation. Not very drinkable in my opinion.

22oz bomber with no freshness date.
A- Dense foam yields a very sticky tan head with web-like lace all the way down the glass. The brown color is very dark, two shades away from complete black.
S- Big roasted coffee aroma, faint smokiness with a soft malt sweetness and leafy hop in the back.
T&M- Very creamy with a light and smooth carbonation ... heavy body. Layers of roasted grain unfold showing suggestions of French Roasted coffee, dark bakers chocolate and black strap molasses. Nice chewy thickness of malt in the middle with ample sweetness that mixes well with the estery dark berry fruitiness. Sufficient handful of hops helps to balance, finishes a little sweet with a long lingering roasted character and a warming alcohol.
D- Easy to sip on a miserable sleet riddled Boston night. A good pairing with some candied pecans.

22 oz bomber pours an opaque, black body. Two finger, beige head of tightly knit foam hangs around for awhile. Patch and sheet lace clings all over the imperial pint glass.
Aroma is unique for style, with a load of dark, rum soaked fruits in the initial whiff. Expected notes of coffee and chocolate follow up. Very enticing aromas.
Mouthfeel is coating, but seems thin for an Imperial Stout.
Very tasty! Chocolate and roasted coffee, with an alcohol kick. Some Kahlua notes here. Dark fruits, again enter the picture, with some rum soaked raisin. Hazelnut emerges midway, and adds some nuttiness. This stout is smooth and creamy, all the way down. Alcohol is well disguised, to be 10%. Black licorice comes into the profile toward the finish, and adds some excitement to the final couple of sips.
Very nice, very smooth, and deceptively strong. An excellent imperial stout here.

12 ouncer, pours jet black, low carbonation and limited tiny bubble head. Wispy lacing. Burnt malt nose. Tasty, strong, vinous Imperial. Notes of expresso beans, chocolate. Not quite as full bodied as some imperials, but this one is tasty and satisfying. Finishes minty clean with some drying hops to scrub the palate and keep the tongue wanting another jolt. Quality sipper.

3.9/5 rDev +2.4%
Appearance: dark caramel brown, 1/4 inch head
Smell: malt, sugar, sweet cream, and chocolate
Taste: sugar, sweet cream, burnt malt, caramel, alcohol, and milk chocolate
Mouthfeel: heavy body, sweet all the way through, chewy, sticky, next to no feel of carbonation
Drinkability: This one almost feels like the beer equivalent of a boston cream donut. It is stronger sweet RIS. The alcohol is not as pronounced as it it could be. I could have one more..max

This impy poured a deep deep brown / almost black , with a tan head of an inch or so. Aroma is deep and roasty , esspresso , dark chocolate , sweet maltyness , and a tinge of alcohol. The taste is very rich and roasty , with a sweet edge to the finish. Flavors include : semi-sweet chocolate , roasty maltiness , sweet malt , bit of hop bitterness , and some alcohol. The mouthfeel is chewy and creamy. Overall i think this is a pretty good imperial stout , the 10% ABV is well hidden , and there is plenty of flavor.

Pours deep mahogany with almost no head. Heavily alcoholic aroma with roasted malt, currants, and tobacco. Sweet, smooth taste of chocolate malt, licorice, cascade-like hops, and an alcohol burn. The one weakness is the alcohol is not masked very well and comes out strong in the end.

Brownish black and opaque, a vigorous pour produces a very small soapy head that disappears quickly.
Inviting aroma of cocoa and cabernet, marshmallow and currants, some vinous port notes.
Rich flavor of dark chocolate, espresso, tangy cherry, charred bark and port. Hints of marshmallow and licorice. Not a lot of hoppy flavor, but some very sharp bitterness offsets the rich flavors. Smokey tannens linger.
Full mouthfeel, moderate carbonation, slight warming from the ABV strength.
Great RIS, very tasty sipper. Many thanks to joerodiii for sending this one my way.

Poured out a pitch black appearance, tan head, very slight. Aroma was burnt.
Taste, big huge beer, a little bit of everything in a stout. Burnt malt, chocolate, slight coffee, wood, molasses. Hid the alcohol decently, bitterness was definitely there. Gritty at times. Definitely enjoyed this more as it warmed up, do not drink anywhere near 'cold' it might go down faster, but so many of the nuances packed into one beer aren't as noticeable.
$10 for a 4 pack at John's in Iowa City, this beer is definitely drinkable at that price.

4.4/5 rDev +15.5%
Appearance: Deep black opaque almost incandescent but when held up to the light I was greeted by the darkest of dark amber brown tones. Head is tan a bit thin but I suppose this is due to the alcohol notes Full even ring of lacing and continues this way until the end. Aroma: Deep aromatic tones that send chocolate and coffee sensations due to the roasts used in these beers for certain there are fruit tones here meant to shock and awe. Simply amazing and wonderful the beers in Denver were amazing last summer and I expected this to be no different for the Imperial Stout style as labeled. Taste: Yep this one is treating me well with creamy alcohol infused vinous tones what an amazing beer very complex and oh so good. Thank you Left Hand for bringing it to the table tonight I really needed a flavorful stout. I get plum over ripened simmer in moonshine this is wonderful what a great beer. I need to find more beer like this again and again. Mouthfeel: Is full and viscous just the way I like it what a great beer, my god why can't this be a local brew in this area, certainly a fine ale that's lets every flavor speak it's peace. Drinkability: I wish I could force myself to drink another but something tells me it's one strong ass beer with mucho flavor awesome representation fo the style brings fullness in body and flavor ein prosit!

12oz. brown bottle poured into a snifter. Notes.
A: Pours pitch black. Note quite a fingers worth of khaki head. Decent retention and a bit of lacing.
S: Big on the chocolate. Some alcohol is present and smells a bit like bourbon. Dark roasted malts.
T/M: big coffee flavor that's unexpected after the nose. Great bitterness, mostly from the coffee but a bit up front from the hops. Great, thick sweetness from some molasses and a softer sweetness from chocolate. A bit of burnt malt astringency. body is way too thin, I wouldn't even say medium.
D: Easy drinking for an RIS but that's probably from the off style body.

3.65/5 rDev -4.2%
Hmmmm, it pours awfully thin for a Russian Imperial Stout. The beer is dark but not the motor oil look I've come to expect from 10%+ ABV stouts. This is more of a dark mahogany clear beer with an all around ruby glow to the edges. A tan head climbs quickly and recedes twice as fast leaving almost nothing behind.
The smell is rich and malty, with a coffee hint mixed with moderate dark chocolates. Again a little short of what I've come to expect from a RIS but pleasing all the same.
Taste makes up for the weaker scent. There are some larger flavors here previously undetected by the nose. There is an oily slickness to the beer that is all RIS in flavor. Sweet black roasted malts with chocolate and espresso aftertastes. There are marginal dark fruit flavors with a boozy backbone mixed with a floral hoppy bitterness.
Medium to full bodied in its consistency, this beer makes up for lost ground with its flavor. Despite the weak look the character has all the major flavors that you would expect. Looking at it I feel like I'm drinking a light version of a RIS.

"A black beer to brighten your day" as the label says. Bottled on 2/22/06.
I picked this up at the Liquor Mart in Boulder, Colorado on my travels. I poured this into my Stone IRS goblet and then started thinking about Stone IRS. Ahh so good. Anyhow this was a fine beer too, not one to compete with Stone's but very few can.
The color was dark as can be with a cereal milk looking head. Coffee, chocolate and toffee dominated the aroma. The taste was much of the same with a slight single malt scotch flavor in the slick finish.
This did brighten my day.

Peter Arnett has an overblown sense of his own importance and lousy political judgment. That's been true ever since he became a television "personality," and he's hardly the only one with those traits.
But Arnett's pomposity and hubris are not what got him fired by NBC and National Geographic this week after giving a short interview to Iraqi state television. When the controversy first emerged, NBC issued a statement of support, which evaporated as soon as the political heat was turned up and questions about Arnett's patriotism got tossed around. In short: Arnett was canned because he took seriously the notion that, even in war, journalists should be neutral.
The assertion of neutrality is central to the credibility of
journalists, who say, "Trust us, we don't take sides." Whether one believes journalists live up to that standard – or that it's possible at all – it is the bedrock on which reporters build their claim to special status.
Except, it seems, in time of war. In those situations, many
journalists do not hesitate to say they are on the American side. They are quick to say that patriotism won't stop them for reporting critically about the
But the point remains: One can't be neutral and aligned with one side at the same time.
Taking journalistic neutrality seriously doesn't mean a simplistic he said/she said balancing of claims. It means subjecting the claims of all sides to the same critical scrutiny. Arnett, more than most journalists covering this war for American media, has a history of doing that. His willingness to stay in
By going on Iraqi state television, which clearly is a propaganda vehicle for the regime, Arnett opened himself up to being used. That was a miscalculation. But it's easy to understand why a journalist might want to speak to the people of that nation, who have access to so little independent information. If it were possible to guarantee that an appearance wouldn't become propaganda, trying to reach the Iraqi people, even in some limited way, could justify being interviewed.
But instead of reflexive denunciations of Arnett's patriotism, we might look at some of his comments and ask what we can learn not only about his mistakes but about American journalism more generally.
A problem arises immediately, when Arnett cites the "unfailing courtesy and cooperation" of the Iraqi people and the Ministry of Information. It may be that Iraqis in the ministry are courteous, but certainly Arnett knows that no foreign reporter can travel in the country without an Iraqi government minder, hardly a mark of cooperation. Arnett likely was just being obliging. But his sin is one of degree; obsequiousness is common for reporters currying favor with sources.
If such criticism of Arnett is appropriate, we should also ask whether American journalists are overly deferential to
Such performances leave the rest of the world with the impression that American journalists – especially those on television – are sycophants, and Arnett's firing only reinforces that impression. That's why before the end of the day he had a new job with the British tabloid The Mirror, which described him as "the reporter sacked by American TV for telling the truth about the war."
Arnett certainly hasn't cornered the market on truth, and many
reporters and photographers are doing fine work under dangerous conditions.
But many other American journalists have abandoned any pretense of neutrality and become de facto war boosters. All over the world, viewers are seeing images of the effects of the war on the Iraqi population that are largely absent from
Arnett has long been a whipping boy for pro-war forces in the

NEW ORLEANS — For nearly the final 16 minutes of New Orleans' game against the Lakers, the Hornets held a second-half lead.
And then Steve Blake hit an acrobatic fade-away bank shot. And then Andrew Bynum blocked the Hornets' Chris Kaman. And then Metta World Peace drilled a 3-pointer from dead center.
And much like the rest of the season, the Hornets failed to hold onto a second-half lead, falling to the Lakers 93-91.
It was New Orleans' third close loss to Los Angeles this season, but coach Monty Williams likely won't point out the moral victory after Monday night's game.
Still with a chance to extend the game, New Orleans inexplicably let time run off the clock – first, in trying to foul the Lakers with less than 18 seconds to play and then running nearly 6 seconds off the clock with 8 seconds remaining.
"I thought we took some tough jump shots instead of going to the basket," Williams said. "The one time we did get to the basket, we got a layup and Chris got it blocked. If they miss those 3's, nobody is talking about management."
New Orleans (15-42) did everything it could to win, including watching as Greivis Vasquez went 5 of 6 from 3-point range, finishing with 18 points and 10 assists, while Marco Belinelli had 20 points on 7 of 15 shooting.
The Hornets forced 13 Lakers turnovers, scoring 12 points off of them. But L.A. took 16 more free throws than New Orleans, finishing 20 of 26 from the stripe in one of the major disparities in the game.
"We had a lead and we let the lead go," forward Jason Smith said. "It's a disappointing loss. We had a lot of guys play well but didn't come out with the win tonight."
The Lakers (36-22) won despite playing without Kobe Bryant, who missed with a shin injury. Instead, the Lakers relied on old stalwarts Pau Gasol, who had 25 on 10 of 21 shooting, and Andrew Bynum, who had 18 points and 11 rebounds. Additionally, they got 17 points from Ramon Sessions.
Williams said the game came down to poor choices for the Hornets.
"When you're playing against a team at home, casting up jump shots just ignites fast-break opportunities," Williams said. "When you go to the basket, you can flatten out the defense. When you get a foul, you can set your defense. I thought we settled a bit for timeouts."
New Orleans previously lost to L.A. by six points in overtime at home and three points on the road.
This time it looked different.
After a 52-52 tie in the middle of the third quarter, the Hornets took over, eventually pushing their lead to 69-60.
The game turned in the fourth quarter on Blake's shot, which answered a Belinelli 3-pointer.
The Lakers closed on a 20-10 run to pick up the win.
Ariza doesn't play
Forward Trevor Ariza didn't play Monday night, though nothing is physically wrong with the veteran.
Williams said he's trying to work other players to see if they're NBA material.
"We're trying to play the young guys down the stretch, trying to develop those guys' games and put them in different situations," Williams said. "Trying to see if Lance (Thomas) can play the three. If he's going to have a life in the NBA, he's going to have to play a number of positions. … And just trying to get some more time for Al-Farouq (Aminu) and Xavier (Henry)."
Ariza has now sat out the past three quarters.

Accounting Minor
Academic minor programs of study generally consist of a series of courses, totaling 16 to 20 semester credits, that provide a coherent body of knowledge in either a particular discipline or in an interdisciplinary cluster. Although by design not as extensive as an academic major, the pursuit of an academic minor while not required will provide content knowledge and a credential in a secondary area of specialization which might well help the future graduate in terms of further postgraduate education and employment. One half (50%) of the minor must be taken at Lake Erie College.
Requirements for this minor:
16 semester credits including:
Eight semester credits from the following:
and eight semester credits from the following:
- AC 301 Intermediate Accounting I (4 SH)
- AC 302 Intermediate Accounting II (4 SH)
- AC 303 Taxes & Culture Clinic I (2 or 4 SH)
- AC 308 Federal Income Taxes I (4 SH)
- AC 309 Federal Income Taxes II (4 SH)

I was so excited when I discovered the water lilies were in bloom at Government House, that in my haste, I sprained my ankle climbing down the cliff to photograph them. Crazy photographer. LOL
It was impossible to get the reflection I wanted as there were too many leaves on the surface of the water.I totally love BP members images with those wonderful reflections.Oh well, maybe next year. :)

Great article, Jason.
Delanie Walker is interesting, although he reminds me of Charles Clay physically. I'd like to see more of a 6'6 seam buster.
The 49ers
I live in Nashville, love to have Cook as TE for the Phins.
Good luck to coach Philbin and the Miami Dolphins and my condolences for your tremendous loss!
Improving the secondary, O-Line, and receiving corps should be top priority. Would love to see a shakeup in the FO too.
That was just a terrible article. It was full of AP errors, grammar errors and a ton of false information. You should really take an editing class!
So, it was well written. What's next? I hope it will be a successful season next year. I would really enjoy beating the New England Cheaters, I mean Patriots, for the division. I have very little faith in Jeff Ireland, but I still hope things work out for the best. Well Jason, I figured I would respond to one of your posts. :p

Late summer and early fall in Sonoma County: What a great time to cook. We still have delicious summer tomatoes, all manner of peppers and chiles, crisp cucumbers and beans, extraordinary melons and fresh wild Pacific King Salmon but, as nights turn chilly and there's a morning blanket of fog, fall crops intersect with summer's bounty.
A few days ago, I asked friends and colleagues what they were enjoying right now, during the last few days of fluctuating temperatures when highs inched into three digits and then suddenly dropped enough that we were reaching for sweaters and hoodies. Answers ranged from all manner of salads fresh from the garden, BLTs, gazpacho, grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup, watermelon and chilled yogurt-cucumber soup to sliced apples with cheese, baked beans, chard with bacon and garlic, grilled lobster and corn, chili, fiery Italian beef sandwiches, polenta, tarte tatin and cold grapes with chardonnay.
My two favorites came from local photographer George Rose, who is enjoying salty potato chips with sparkling wine, and Angelo Ibleto, who is entertaining himself with commercial chocolate chip cookies topped with a spoonful of his marinara sauce. Neither, of course, involve actual cooking but both evoke a smile.
These simple recipes will evoke smiles, too. If we have another heat wave, do most of the cooking in the morning, when it's cool, and then assemble things at the last minute. Leftovers keep well; just be sure to warm to room temperature before serving.
If you do not eat pasta, you can replace it with barley, farro, quinoa, a small bean such as flageolet or lentils and still have a delicious fall dish.
Fall Pasta with Rosamarina Pasta, Corn, Haricots Verts & Cherry Tomato Vinaigrette

6 ounces (about 1 cup) rosamarina, orzo or other small seed-shaped pasta or grain

Proviso East's Branden Jenkins dunks the ball against Downers Grove South in the second quarter of their game Saturday, Janu
It's easy to overlook Paris Lee and what he does for No. 6 Proviso East. The diminutive point guard was the only starter for the Pirates not to score in double figures against West Suburban Gold foe Downers Grove South on Saturday.
That doesn't mean that Lee is overlooked by his coaches or his teammates. Lee keyed an early run that the Mustangs could not overcome in an 80-55 victory in Downers Grove.
"Paris is the engine to our team. He is the floor general and everything runs through him,'' Proviso East assistant coach Cedric McCullough said. "He doesn't care about scoring. He knows it's his job to get everyone else involved.''
McCullough was filling in for Donnie Boyce who has come down with the flu. But it was Lee who was making the home crowd sick early on. During an opening 21-2 Proviso run, he tallied five assists and had two steals that led to other baskets.
"I just try to get my team involved,'' Lee said. "If there is a shot for me in the flow, I will take it but that's not my main role."
Lee and his teammates seemed to take a collective breath after that opening run because Downers (9-7, 4-2) fought its way back into the game. The Mustangs responded with a 19-5 run of its own to narrow Proviso's lead to 26-21 late in the second quarter.
Scott McNellis and Jordan Cannon both scored during that run and both finished with a team-high 11 points.
"We started gambling a little too much on our press,'' McCullough said. "That allowed them to get the ball to their bigs.''
Branden Jenkins put a halt to that run with a three point play. Jenkins scored eight consecutive points for the Pirates (13-3, 5-0) that helped ward off the Mustangs during that spell. The senior guard finished with 16 points.
Sterling Brown racked up 16 points and 10 rebounds. Jevon Carter scored 14 and Parish McCullum added 12 for Proviso East.

|We are one
By Mary Friedel-Hunt
Butterflies (and other insects) get their needed sodium in part from turtle tears as well as from muddy river banks, puddles, animal urine and sweating people, says Geoff Gallice, a graduate student of entomology at the Florida Museum of Natural History, who has witnessed butterflies flocking to turtle tears in the western Amazon rain forest.When I read this, the first thought I had was how all of life is so interconnected. We depend on the bees and butterflies for fruit and honey, among other things, as I said earlier. We also depend on animals (for those of you who are meat eaters) for protein. We depend on farmers to raise our food,

I looked up the site. I like the fact that most of there fish (if not all) are bred in Florida. None of my search's ever came up with them.
The first time I ordered fish was from a dealer in Florida but they are no longer in buisness.Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

See my profile for my tanks and what fish I keep
Another update! I just received the plants that I ordered today. The temps dropped to the high 20s again (surprise, surprise) so I had to acclimate the plants to room temperature and then add them to the tank to avoid shock. I left them out in the plastic bag they came in for about 3hrs, while I was at work, came home, unwrapped and then planted them. They actually sent me an extra two plants, so I'm pleased to see that. I received an extra bunch of Water Sprite and an extra bunch of Alternanthera reineckii roseafolia. I was able to place them according to my plan, by making a little room here and there. I think it looks great so far, but I wasn't able to take a pic. It definitely filled out the tank pretty nicely. I'll get some pics tomorrow and post them. I also added new ferts that I received the other day from aquariumplants.com - Total and Trace. I've been needing some trace ferts for a while, so I finally bit the bullet and got some. These are supposed to be some of the best ferts available, so we'll see. I still used the Flourish tabs that I have, as well. They last 3 months, while the Total/Trace last 1 month.
Hopefully this will keep my plants growing, looking lush and keep them competitive with the algae.
I was also looking around the tank when I got home - all SAEs are alive and well, and schooling together. They look fantastic.Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story

I'm looking forward to seeing this Alternanthera! I thought you'd given up on stem plants?
I did too, but the more you look at different plants, the more you realize how beautiful stem plants are and how limited you'd be if you relied on roots/bulbs. Plus, now I know how to trim them. lolAdventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story

I'm delighted with this news There are some lovely hygrophila species you could consider (dead easy to care for).
SAEs are great, but since you love stem plants just be prepare for replanting. Hopefully your SAE are not like mine who love up rooting my cabomba. Use to have a forest but now I only have the few that somehow managed to anchor themselves. Sorry I never mention this before but I consider it a small price to pay for having SAE. I always forgave them lolRoll the Dice!
Thanks for the warning. =] I'm not worried about any uprooting. I figure if I have to worry about anything it's the Striped Raphael Cat, who loves to pile drive through anything that seems to be a tight enclosure. He does this with the Pygmy Sword Chains all the time. haha If it happens, it happens. I love a beautiful looking tank, but I got into this hobby for the fish, right? The plants definitely come second.
Day 3 with having SAEs... they're awesome! I love the way they hover around, floating from one spot to the next (in a school no less). I'm glad I got 4, because they truly do school together - more so than my Serpaes. Very cool fish to have fore behavior, look and algae-eating abilities. Today is the first day I actually witnessed some algae eating and wow... the spots where they work are ridiculously clean! They've started on both pieces of driftwood and I can already tell that they'll be clear of algae in no time. Amazing little workers. =]
Oh, and unfortunately I didn't have any time to take pictures today - had a PVAS meeting during the day and had company over tonight. I'll be able to get some tomorrow, though. I'll make sure to show you a pic of the algae eaten' bits/pieces, as well, because it's amazing. =XAdventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story

You don't know what you're missing. Some of the red hygrophila sp. are wonderful!
Sorry guys, no pictures again... I'm slacking. I actually had a slip-up with my canister filter today. The part of the intake tube connection, which connects to the hose actually cracked (not sure when). I noticed it leak at the connection of the tube/hose when I was getting ready to add some new filter floss media to the canister (just bought new floss today - haven't had it for about a month, when I took out the original which had degraded considerably). Anyway, as I was disconnecting the hose, the crack actually turned into a clean break. When the hose was removed, it took a piece of the intake tube with it.
My mind started to panic, because it's Sunday... nothing's open and I was in my pajama pants. lol Anyway, logic won me over and I decided that since the smaller part of the tube broke off, I'd just have to settle for getting the hose over the wider part where the threads are for the nut. So, I heat up some water in the microwave and softened up the tube, stretched it over the wider part of the tube and wa-la! Fixed. Now I need to stop by the hardware store and pick up some hose clamps, as I don't trust the hose just sitting there by itself (the plastic nut won't screw over top of the tube - too tight).
Anyway, something easy turned into something not so, but I think this new "setup" will end up being more reliable. And I'm hoping the filter floss cleans up all the minute particles floating around in the tank. I've been noticing it getting worse over the last couple of weeks. I just put two and two together this morning, when I realized that this started happening as soon as I got rid of the nasty floss media I had before. The minute particles would just go right through my sponges and right back into the tank. I expect the next few days things will start clearing up again. =]
As for my Betta with the fin rot? Well, he's completely healed now. Fungus Guard worked like a charm... and if you weren't sure before, you can rest assured now, that it doesn't kill your beneficial bacteria. I was stunned, because it's an antibiotic, but the bio filter was still kicking. I had swapped my snail tank filter with the 10gal filter, just for the medication process, because I'd rather not have to build up my AC20 bio bacteria again, especially since I don't have snails yet. Turns out I never needed to do that. Now I'm running the AC20 w/ carbon to extract all of the medication that may have been missed from the water change I did today. I'll take that out after 24/48hrs.
So, today was a good news/bad news kinda' day, but it ended well. ;P
