Backpacker Magazine – August 2008
Scramble up class III peaks and cross late summer snowfields on this strenuous but straightforward trip through Montana's big-mountain country.
Entrance Strategy
>> Getting there The nearest major airports are in Great Falls (200 miles east) and Missoula (156 miles southwest). Glacier has two main entrances: the bustling West Glacier, accessed from Whitefish and Kalispell, and the tranquil east side via St. Mary and East Glacier.
>> Season For low traffic and easier reservations–but snowier passes and higher river crossings–head to Glacier in mid-June (bring gaiters and an ice axe). July is best for wildflowers. The tundra turns to glorious tones of rust and gold by mid-September.
>> Best frontcountry campground Two Medicine Campground on Two Medicine Lake practically sits on the trailhead for your trip, ensuring you get an early start. It's 15 miles from groceries and restaurants in East Glacier. ($20, 99 sites, first come, first served)
>> Pre-trip breakfast Glacier Village Restaurant (406-226-4464), on Main Street in East Glacier, opens at 6:30 a.m. for espresso, homemade pastries, and box lunches that you can rebag for your pack.
>> Gear shop Get pepper spray and a holster at Sportsman & Ski Haus on US 93 in Whitefish, outside the West Entrance (406-862-3111). It's your grizzly country equivalent of peace of mind.
>> Permits Go to nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/backcountry.htm for an application, campsite map, trail mileages, and charts that show open reservation dates. Half of all backcountry sites are held for walk-ins, but reservations ($30/party) are recommended. Applications are processed beginning April 16. Backcountry office: (406) 888-7857 from March 15 to October 31
Gunsight Pass, August 24-26, 2011: We were lucky enough walk in to the backcountry office and get a trail permit for this hike in spite of the massive avalanche on Fullisade Mtn that had wiped out part of the trail. We had the recommended ice axe and crampons and were glad we did - this late in the season, a steep snowfield between Gunsight Lake and the pass was almost as hard as ice, and might well have been the last glissade you ever took if you couldn�t self-arrest. No matter when you go, monitor the trail conditions before you go, talk to the rangers, and be prepared. Oh yeah � it was spectacular, and we had almost the entire trip to ourselves!
Just back from Glacier 7/23/11- many higher trails and backcountry camps still closed due to snow so forcing lots of hikers to camp at lower level sites. Get your permits early and be flexible. Hiked and camped at Kintla Lake and Upper Kintla Lake - beautiful. Snowed in the mountains above us one night. Saw black bear on the trail and at camp. Beautiful flowers.
Going to Sun Road opened LATEST ever last week July 12. Did Loop Trail to Granite Chalet (all up hill.) Last mile over snow. Coming down saw 3 Griz on ridge to east. Great flowers. Saw several deer close up.
Did the Pegan Pass Trail part way (four hours in) and it was over snow (July 14)about 95% of the way. Most snow ever seen at Glacier. Saw goats and two rams west of creek just starting out.
Did short Apikuni Falls hike and it was worth it. Don't let mile+ up fool you. Up hill. Lots of snow around falls. Be sure and safely climb on and see pool at base of falls.
Did hike at Bowman Lake area. Nice ride up to this NW area but hike was not worth it.
As of July 15 rangers said Highline Trail likely would NOT be open this summer at all. Too much snow.
Swiftcurrent Trail was nice, but just too many folks first couple miles. Great views and flowers and even snow for last snowcone before heading back to Georgia.
Avoid Avalanche Lake Trail unless you head out EARLY. Every body and his brother hikes that trail mid morning on.
In fact suggest early start on all trails in Glacier. Great cabins to stay at in Coram just on Highway 2 7 miles from park (west side). Peaceful Escapes by a store. $80 a night and brand new with kitchenettes even. Eat nearby at Glacier Grill. Great food and service.
I was there on the CDT project last summer and can't wait to return. The mountains at sunset are too beautiful to describe.

Pours black. Medium, tan head with a thick, sticky lacing. This beer is beautiful to look at.
Strong roasted smell, chocolate, piney hops.
Tastes like bitter dark chocolate, spicy, very bitter hops. Resiny hops. Roasted up front and in the long, bitter finish. Complex, lots of different flavors coming at you, but perhaps none more than the dark chocolate.

Well for number #3000 I had to go with this,its worthy of such a lofty number.Poured into my Stone imperial nonic a jet black with a blooming mocha colored head that becomes a substantial frothy mass after leaving a few broken globs of lace as it kinda, sorta settled.Big resiny and herbal hops overtop of a dryer bitter chocolate base,a tinge of sweet boozy alcohol comes into play as it warms.Herbal hops really stand out on the palate along with unsweetened chocolate and light roast,there is a "meaty" element to the beer that I cant quite pinpoint.Full and creamy feel it glides down nicely.For my money this is the best Stone Anniversary beer that I have had,its as complex as all get out,hell of a job here.

Reviewed from notes taken on 11/3/11.
This Black IPA pours very dark brown to black with a light brown, one-finger head into a large snifter. The body is impenetrable by the eye with great, quick-rushing carbonation when agitated. The lacing is exquisite- fine and detailed.
The smell is a great blend of hefty chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, biscuit malt, prominent pine, citrus, grass and herbal hop aromas. This is a very deep and complex bouquet. As it warms a bit, the hefty malt profile takes over.
Wow, that is a huge flavor! The first wave is of roasted, chocolate malt, followed by a burst of pine and grapefruit hop profile. At the finish, thick malts and hops merge together to combine into a truly delicious beer. The aftertaste is hop bitterness, a little booze, and a lingering roastiness.
As one might expect from the ingredients, the mouthfeel is a combination of a medium-full coating malt presence and a puckering hop bitterness. The finish carries a bit of a boozy sting, along with a dry pucker from the piney and grapefruity hops.
I really like this beer. It is a big, bad Black IPA that really showcases the strong maltbill and a kickass hop profile. Very roasty, very chocolate-y, but also bitter and hoppy. Lovely.

This is my first adventure into the world of Black IPA's and as this review will show, I was not the least bit disappointed.
A - I poured this beer from the bomber into a snifter. As other reviews noted, the beer is pitch black. If I saw someone drinking this I would immediately think they were sipping on an imperial stout. This dark beauty also has an incredibly thick, creamy coffee head that slooowly dissipates with great lacing. I was sipping on this beer for over an hour and the head was still present. Beautiful beer.
S - The nose of this beer is a hop-punch. Pine, citrus and grass like aromas explode out of the glass with the ever so slightest hint of roasted chocolate malts finishing it off. If you have had the Stone IPA, the hop aromas are very similar with an added roasted hint. Overall, a bit confusing but enticing all the same.
T - Man was this beer unique. At first the hops completely dominate the pallet but in a way that makes sense, not simply an overload of bitterness as in their Ruination. The different hops play off each other to create a nice harmonious beverage. What is most surprising about this beer is the way the dark/roasted malts work with the hop presence. The mild chocolate and coffee flavors that are present accompany the hop profile perfectly to create an astonishingly unique beverage. This is one of those beers which you say "wow" after those first few sips. Wow of course being both a "wow" of confusion and a louder "wow" that this confusion works so well. What does get lost, however, is the alcohol. It is completely hidden. At 10.8 percent, be careful or you will forget that it is even there!
M - The mouthfeel is more on par with IPA's and the dark malts do little to elevate the mouthfeel to a chewier, sweeter thickness. Rather, it maintains its crisp and bitter finish. Kind of disappointed. This was the least unique characteristic of the beer.
O - Overall, this beer was an absolute pleasure to drink. I am definitely going to track down a few more bottles of this before it is all gone. In addition, this brew has definitely turned me on to the world of Black IPA's. This was a refreshingly unique brew. I will say, however, that this style is definitely not for everyone. To enjoy, you definitely have to expand your beer tasting horizons beyond tradition. This beer is not exactly a stout, nor is it exactly an IPA. It's simply a hybrid of the two that works and works exceptionally.

Cracking the bomber, the brew pours into my glass a deep, super dark black with two fingers of creamy dark tan head atop the brew. Patchy lacing as it falls with aromas of dense pine and resinous green hops along with plenty of tropical citrus. Roasted chocolately malt backbone as well.
First sip brings big roasted malts upfront with plenty of chocolate. Pungent hops roll in with a great mix of tropical fruit and resinous pine tones as well. Plenty of bitterness as it flows down to counteract the malty sweetness. Touch of alcohol heat on the way down.
Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, medium bodied with just enough carbonation. This brew goes down pretty darn easy for clocking in at 10.8%. A solid, super hoppy black IPA, much better than the 14th Anniversary IMHO and well worth trying!

This beer was black, really black, with a tan head and a little bit of lace.
Aroma of roasted malt and herbal hops.
Things came through more in the taste. Chocolate, a lot of chocolate. Pronounced espresso taste. Resinous, piney hops.
Full-bodied, filling. Very enjoyable.
I'm still not sure what to make of the proliferation of black ales. This one was very good, but tasted like a hoppy stout.

A - Pours pitch black with one and a half fingers of creamy brown head. Head has nice retention and leaves spotty lacing.
S - Lots of chocolate malt and citrus hops, with some floral aromas as well. Definitely some alcohol in the nose. Good, but doesn't really grab me.
T - Still a good bitter hop presence after four months. Never had it fresh, so don't know how this compares. Significant chocolate malt and roasted malt presence throughout, a bit ashy. Citrus and grassy hops. Finish is dry and lingering bitterness.
M - Nice, creamy mouthfeel with a very bitter finish.
O - Good black ale, which is a style I have a hard time getting excited about. Nice bitterness, but a little too much ash from the malt component.

22oz bottle. Pours a dark brown black with a frothy creamy brown head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is roasted malts with piney hops and a little fruit.
The flavor is a some sweet fruity malt followed by a big roast bitterness with a lot of char in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied.
Overall, pretty similar to other black IPAs that just don't do it for me. Too much roast and char bitterness rather than hop flavors. There is some sweetness and a little fruit and pine, but it just doesn't seem to go well with the roasted char.

Shared a bomber with my wife. Pours a black color with a decent head that dissipates.
The nose is sweet smooth and mostly RIS. A slight vanilla aroma mellow with a generous amount of crystal malts. The hops make an appearance but fade...the aroma is quite nice...not what I expected from stone.
The taste is a mix of their RIS and their Subllimly but perhaps not as good as either. Smooth choc and mix of a slight fruity fig flavor which slowly turns to a hop bitterness. The bitterness melds with the roasted finish and leaves a dry mouth. There is no hint of alcohol in this beer.

22oz brown bomber, vintage date on bottle.
LOOK: Black as can be, thick brown head.
SMELL: Booze, dark chocolate, dank hop resin, dark fruit, burnt bread, orange zest.
TASTE: Roasty, dry toasted bread, hop bitterness, tobacco, earthy, smoky ash, brown bread, booze.
A solid brew, hits all the right buttons for what it is supposed to be. A bit too much alcohol and the hops seem to cloud ... Meaning the flavors don't mesh as well as I thought the would have.

32 ounce growler pour ($10.99) @ DeCicco's in Ardsley, NY
Pours BLACK, dark tan head, initially large, then going to a quick meraingue, then quickly again to a film and collar, quality lace left behind.
Rich nose of black coffee, dark chocolate and I get some hop cones...
Suprise-suprise a celebratory beer from Escondidian heavy weight Stone Brewery that is densly flavorful, hoppy, bold and kickin all sorts of ass...lots more coffee, more dark bitter chocolate, more hoppy goodness...thick, creamy and viscous...fine creation...get some..drink it fresh...

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Appearance: Pitch black with thick, foamy, root beer float head that leaves intricate lacing webs.
Smell: Citrus, pine, roses, chocolate and charbroiled meat.
Taste: Perfect integration of chocolatey roasted malts and citrusy hops. Elements of char, coffee and pine enhance the experience. Finish is bitter and spicy, with both a hop bite and a roasted malt bite. Becomes somewhat fruity as it warms.
Feel: Exceedingly smooth and creamy with a massive warming sensation. Moderately low carbonation, fairly dry finish.
Overall: Besides for the warming sensation, I can't tell that this is anywhere near 11% abv. Unbelievably smooth and tasty; the best American Black Ale / Black IPA / yada-yada I have had. Of course, one could argue that this is really a hoppy, citrusy Imperial Stout.

a vigorous pour into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass produced a deep coffee one inch tan head with abundant lacing. the hops aroma is great which confuses me by the appearance.
i've only had a few black ipa's before but i find this one tasty. starts off sweet and creamy like a stout with an ipa bite which gives me the best of both since it helps hide the high abv.
a great mix that changes as it warms complimenting both styles equally well. the hoppiness encourages me to drink this faster than normal. this sucker has such a great kick i wish i had bought two.

A: Creamy tan head sits on a rich black body. Ha ha! Anyway, it's head dissipates slowly and the lacing clings to edge of the glass. A fine, thin head remains.
S: Amazing citrus aromas pummel the nose. There's a touch of pine on the end of that. Sweet malts compliment the hardy hop profile. If you closed your eyes, you would imagine you're on a hop farm in the northwest. Brilliant.
T: Distinct citrus and pine hops greet the taste buds. Flavorful malt is prevalent. Once you get past the hops, the beer has a sweet/dry malt quality.
M: Full-on hop attack on the palate. Tannins and acid. It's heavy on the tongue, but not in a bad way. Full bodied.
D: SIP THIS BEER. Also, don't drink it first, because you don't want to blow out your palate before switching back to Miller Lite because you suck. ;)

NEWARK, Del. — As students relax and leave campus for the summer months, construction crews have been busy working on major projects at universities around the nation.
One major initiative is the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Laboratory project at the University of Delaware. The project is a 200,000-square-foot research and teaching facility that has been under construction since 2010 and will be completed in summer 2013.
"Science and engineering are two of the historic strengths of the University of Delaware and this was building on our strengths and encouraging interdisciplinary efforts within the science and engineering field," said David Singleton, vice president of facility and auxiliary services at the University of Delaware.
The building will include teaching labs, research labs, a large clean-room facility, faculty office space and meeting space.

"Since the last new laboratory was built 20 years ago there's been considerable growth in science and engineering. A particular emphasis here has been on encouraging collaborative efforts on the different disciplines within science and engineering," said Singleton.
The cost of the project has not yet been disclosed to the public, but all funding is expected to come from donors and internal sources. The architect on the project is Baltimore-based Ayers Saint Gross and the construction manager is Whiting-Turner Contracting.
Construction throughout the school year differs slightly from summer construction. In addition to work that is noisier, underground utility work that could interrupt services to other buildings takes place when the campus is empty.
The exterior is nearly complete, so the primary focus is building the interiors. Currently, the laboratory fume hoods and benches are being placed in the building.
"When we started this in 2010, many of the students who were here at that point knew they wouldn't be here long enough to have a class there. Now that we're getting within a year of completion most of our students who are taking courses in science and engineering have a very good chance that they will have a class there. I think the anticipation has really grown," said Singleton.
Projects in the West
Another large project comes from the University of Oregon, where the Global Scholars Hall (formerly East Campus Residence Hall) is slated for completion before the fall 2012 semester.
The residence hall will be home to 450 students who are immersed in global study and culture; such as students enrolled in the Robert D. Clarke Honors College, College Scholars, or the global scholars language programs in French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Chinese or Mandarin.
Each of the residential communities will have its own purpose and will contribute to activities such as Campus United Nations, World Café, and international virtual summits.
The building will incorporate five classrooms, a resident scholar, a learning commons and librarian, a multipurpose performance room with an elevated stage, study rooms, the Fresh Marketcafé, and a presentation practice room.
Like the University of Oregon, the University of Hawaii at Hilo will be opening new doors in time for the fall semester. The $4 million state-of-the-art College Campus Store addition needs only a little more paint and furniture to be ready in time for the return of students.
The one-story addition to the Campus Center holds 8,500 square feet of apparel, computer, textbook and café areas, and is made to replace the existing bookstore. The center will be the primary outlet for selling school supplies, textbooks, school merchandise, snacks, computers and computer accessories.
"I think the store's close proximity to the new Student Services Building, combined with the goods and services it offers will provide students with an added element of convenience," said Jason Tanaka, College Campus Store manager in a statement. "That will enable them to get more of the things they need in the same, general area."

Georgia Woman Appeals Potter Book Ban RulingBooks
June 13, 2006, 12:49 PM
Last month we told you of a woman who lost her attempt to have the Gwinnett County school board in Georgia ban the Harry Potter books. The school board rejected this claim, allowing the books to remain on the shelves, and now Laura Mallory has filed a written appeal of this decision. Previously, this mother of four had filed complaints against all of the Potter books, saying they had "evil themes, witchcraft, demonic activity, murder, evil blood sacrifice, spells and teaching children all of this." As to what will happen next with this appeal , the Gwinnett Daily Post reports that:
"Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks will now have 10 days to submit a copy of the appeal, the transcript of evidence and proceedings from the public hearing, and all other related materials to the Georgia Board of Education. Once the appeal is filed with the state, the legal services division of the Georgia Department of Education will determine the next step in the Harry Potter saga."
Thanks Andy!

Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera left a permanent imprint in Regional Mexican music. Besides her musical talent, which was defined by a powerful voice, her repertoire became a channel for women to stand up against sexist oppression. From "Basta Ya" to "Ni Me Viene Ni Me Va," the following playlist pays tribute to the most influential female Regional Mexican music artist of the last twenty years.
"Basta Ya"
"Basta Ya" is one of the most popular track from Jenni Rivera's hit album Joyas Prestadas. The Mexican-American singer recorded a Pop and a Banda version of this track, which deals with a common issue touched in various songs by the Mexican diva: The need for a woman to defend her own dignity. A simple yet empowering song.
"Culpable O Inocente"
Although the music of Jenni Rivera was significantly shaped by her own desire to dignify women especially when confronted with machismo and gender discrimination, the Diva of Banda Music was also capable of bringing into her repertoire a full spectrum of issues. In this song, for example, she refers to the unconditional loyalty of a woman towards her man.
"Detras De Mi Ventana"
Just like many of her songs, "Detras De Mi Ventana," is another call for women to stand up against oppression and social conventionalism. The song offers a powerful reflection that questions a senseless life. This is definitely one of the best songs ever recorded by Jenni Rivera.
"Por Que No Le Calas"
Jenni Rivera was a talented artist capable of embracing different sounds within the Regional Mexican Music world. "Por Que No Le Calas" is a good example of her enormous talent singing Ranchera music. From her popular album La Gran Señora, this track is about being honest with your partner and yourself.
"Ya Lo Se"
Another hit from La Gran Señora, "Ya Lo Se" is a heartbreaking song that deals with the pain one goes through when the person you love has decided to leave you. Another wonderful Ranchera single from The Dive of Banda Music.
"Brincos Dieras"
A song dedicated to all the players out there, "Brincos Dieras" is a track about a woman who tells a man that she is better than him.
"Ni Me Viene Ni Me Va"
"Ni Me Viene Ni Me Va" is one of the most popular Banda tracks ever recorded by the famous Mexican-American singer. With its simple beats, this catchy song is all about dignity. Throughout this track, Jenni Rivera personifies a woman who expresses her total indifference towards the man she used to love.
