The human brain is a big, complicated system, with different parts doing different things. No one fully understands how it works, yet. But like many other researchers, I think I have a fairly good idea, at a high level. What I'm going to give you here is a capsule summary of how one AI researcher, and sometime computational neuroscientist, thinks about the structure and dynamics of the human brain — the "brain according to Ben," if you will. I'll also briefly discuss the relation between brain function and current approaches to artificial general intelligence.
If you want an in-depth yet concise tutorial on the current state of textbook neuroscience knowledge, try this one from Columbia University. Rather than reviewing the basics in "Neuroscience 101″ style detail, what I'm going to do here is give an overview of what I think are the most critical points and how they all fit together.
I like this picture created by IBM researcher Dharmendra Modha and his team:
As I discussed in an earlier blog post, this picture shows 300+ regions of the macaque monkey brain and how they connect to each other. Most of these correspond to similar regions in the human brain; and a similar diagram could be made for the human brain, but it would be less complete, as we've studied monkeys more thoroughly.
Each of these brain regions has a literature of scientific papers about it, telling you what sorts of functions they tend to carry out. In most cases, our knowledge of each brain region is badly incomplete. The nodes near the center of his diagram happen to correspond to what neuropsychologists call the "executive network" — the regions of the brain that tend to get active when the brain needs to control its overall activity.
But all these different parts of the brain do seem to work according to some common underlying principles. Each of them is wired together differently, but using the same sorts of parts; and there's a lot of commonality to the dynamics occurring within each regions as well.
All the parts of the brain are made of cells called neurons, that connect to each other and spread electricity amongst each other. The spread of electricity is mediated by chemicals called neurotransmitters — so, one neuron doesn't simply spread electricity to another one, it activates certain neurotransmitter moleculee that then deliver the charge to the other neuron. Things like mood or emotion or food or drugs affect these neurotransmitters, modulating the nature of thought.
There are also other cells in the brain, like the glia that fill up much of the space between neurons, that seem to play important roles in some kind of memory. Some folks have speculated that intelligence relies on complex quantum-physical phenomena occurring in water mega-molecules floating inbetween the neurons — though I have no idea if this is true or not.
The part of the brain most central for thinking and complex perception — as opposed to body movement or controlling the heard, etc. — is the cortex. And neurons in the cortex are generally organized into structures called columns. The column is the most critical structure occupying the intermediate level between neurons and the large-scale brain regions depicted in Modha's diagram above. Each column spans the six layers of the cortex, passing charge up and down the layers and also laterally to other columns. There are a lot of neurons called "interneurons" that carry out inhibition between columns — when one column gets active, it sends charge to interneurons, that then inhibit the activity of certain other columns.
Cortical columns, imaged
And columns tend to be divided into substructures that are often called "mini-columns", or sometimes just "modules." In some cases, it seems that each mini-column represents a certain pattern observed in some input, and the column as a whole represents a "belief" about which patterns are more significant in the input.
In the visual cortex, you can have columns recognizing particular patterns in particular regions of space-time, for instance. So one column might contain neurons responding to patterns in a particular part of the visual field — where the neurons higher up in the column represent more abstract, high-level patterns. Lower-level neurons in the column might recognize the edges of a car, whereas higher-level neurons in the same column might help identify that these edges, taken together, do actually look like car. But the functions of columns and the neurons and minicolumns inside them seem to vary a fair bit from one brain region to another.
If you'd like to dig deeper into the column/minicolumn aspect, check out this recent overview of mini columns; and this more speculative paper, that proposes a particular function and circuitry for mini columns. A capsule summary of the literature these papers represent is:
One of the tricky things about the brain is the way it mixes up local and global structure and dynamics. Each cortical column does something on its own, but also, it stimulates and inhibits many other columns — thus potentially causing a brain-wide pattern of activity. So each column has a local and a global aspect — something I like to describe with the weird word "glocal" (see this Neurocomputing paper for a technical treatment of the concept). There's a lot of evidence for this glocal aspect in terms of human memory — memories of specific objects or people seem to be stored in networks of hundreds to thousands of columns, but the network corresponding to, say, "Barack Obama" can be triggered into activity by stimulating just a few of the columns involved in the network.
This glocal aspect allows columns to react to each other in subtle ways. If one certain column causes a global brain activity pattern, and then other columns react to this pattern, then basically these other columns are reacting to that one certain column. This turns the collection of columns into a complex network of "actors" that act on each other. Since each column can learn and adapt based on experience — using the ability of each neuron to modify its connections to other neurons based on experience — we have a population of actors (columns) that are constantly acting on each other (by reacting to the global activation-patterns each other cause) and then adapting based on this interaction. One can prove that this kind of system is able to give rise to endlessly complex forms, and do any kind of calculation that a computer can do. In a technical paper from 2008 (and see video of the corresponding talk here), I gave some specifics regarding how certain sorts of neural circuitry could give rise to the sorts of abstraction we see in mathematics and language.
Sound complicated? Yeah, of course it's complicated — what did you expect?
In technical terms, this sort of dynamical system is not only complicated but chaotic and complex. Via combination of holistic and localized dynamics, cortical columns spawn complex networks that respond to the world and each other in complex ways. The real story of brain function lies, not in the division of the brain into regions, nor in the particular algorithms inside minicolumns, but in the dynamical networks that self-organize in the overall network of columns. These self-organizing networks guide the process via which the brain's holistic state guides the behavior of each brain region. These networks are learned via experience, meaning that the brain/body's experience continually guides the columnar network's global self-organization process.
And the columns and minicolumns in the different regions of the brain, underlying all this self-organizing network activity, are all architected and interconnected in slightly different ways. And they're not architected by some clever rational designer with an eye for elegance and order — they're architected by evolution, with its penchant for heterogeneous intercombination of elegant efficient order and confused wasteful mess.
Suppose this general picture of how the brain works is correct — what would it mean for Artificial General Intelligence, for the quest to build thinking machines with intelligence at the human level or beyond?
It would mean that, once we've unraveled the specifics of how all the columns and their internals and interconnections work, then we could build a digital brain. We'd need a heck of a lot of computers to do it — because in the human brain all the neurons can act independently at the same time. But with the help of ongoing exponential acceleration in computing power, we could do it!
On the other hand, before brain imaging technology advances far enough to tell us how the internal details of the brain actually work — then what? Someone could certainly try to architect an artificial brain-like system by guessing how all the neurons and columns are wired together, in all the different subsystems of the brain… or by making something up that's generally similar to how the brain works, but different in details.
However, that seems extremely difficult — which is probably why nobody is actually trying to do this at the moment. Instead, it seems to me that what folks who advocate brain-like AGI architectures are doing, is basically like this:
make various compromises in biological accuracy to achieve more computational efficiency.
A great example of this is the HTM — Hierarchical Temporal Memory — system proposed by Jeff Hawkins's company Numenta. Jeff Hawkins made a fortune with the PalmPilot and Treo handheld devices, and after he retired from that business, he went into neuroscience and AGI. The HTM system is basically a model of the visual cortex — maybe the auditory cortex too — but it's being proposed as a model of the whole of intelligence. It may be an OK model of vision and audition — though there are arguments to be made even there — but it has nothing to say about action, language parsing, social reasoning and emotion, and a whole lot of other things that are critical to human intelligence. It doesn't even have much to say about senses like smell and touch, whose corresponding brain regions don't have the marked hierarchical structure and dynamics that the HTM model focuses on.
Hierarchical structure of the visual cortex
Hierarchical structure of HTM, DeSTIN and other similar vision processing / AGI architectures, modeled conceptually on the hierarchical structure of visual cortex
I'm not saying this sort of work is worthless, by any means. One of my good friends, Itamar Arel, is developing a system called DeSTIN that somewhat like Hawkins' HTM — but Itamar's seem to work better. It's a hierarchical pattern recognition system, that recognizes patterns in a stream of inputs. It doesn't have cortical columns exactly, but it's kind of similar — it has "nodes" corresponding to different space-time regions of the observed world, and they're arranged in a hierarchy, and higher-up nodes refer to larger space-time regions and more abstract patterns. It's pretty nice, and if you hook it up to a webcam or a robot's camera eye, it reacts to its inputs and settles into states that tell you something about what objects and events the robot is seeing. Excellent! But my own interest in DeSTIN, is largely because I can connect it to the OpenCog AGI architecture I'm working on — and in my own view, OpenCog takes care of a lot of other aspects of intelligence, that DeSTIN in its current form doesn't touch.
Itamar, on the other hand, thinks he can basically take DeSTIN, implement it on a lot of machines, tweak the algorithms a little, connect it to a robot, and get advanced general intelligence (see my H+ Magazine interview with Itamar here). He has plans for an action hierarchy similar to the perception hierarchy, and then a reward hierarchy that gets a stimulus when the system has done something good or bad and passes this along to the action hierarchy, which then passes it along to the perception hierarchy. I agree that adding some stuff onto DeSTIN would be necessary to make it do anything like human-level intelligence. But I think you'd need to do a lot more than just add action and reinforcement hierarchies. I think the human brain is just a lot more complex than that, and any AGI system that's vaguely like the human brain is going to have to be a lot more complex than that. There will have to be many different architectures corresponding to many different brain regions, each one carrying out its own functions and all connecting together appropriately.
To take just one example almost at random, the human brain is known to deal with episodic memory — memory of your life-story and the events in it — quite differently from memory of images or facts or actions. But nothing in architectures like HTM or DeSTIN tells you anything about how episodic memory works. Jeff Hawkins or Itamar would argue that the ability to deal with episodic memories effectively will just emerge from their hierarchies, if their systems are given enough perceptual experience. It's hard to definitively prove this is wrong, because these models are all complex dynamical systems and we don't know how to predict their behavior exactly. But yet, it really seems the brain doesn't work this way — episodic memory has its own architecture, different in specifics from the architecture of visual or auditory perception. I suspect that if one wanted to build a closely brain-like AGI system, one would need to design fairly specialized circuits for episodic memory, plus dozens to hundreds of other specialized subsystems.
The more we learn about how the brain works, the more sensible it will be to pursue brain emulation based AGI as one among many paths. Right now, any attempt to emulate the brain in an AGI system involves an awful lot of guesswork, because our understanding of the brain is still so primitive. And my own feeling as a researcher is that, if I'm going to do that much guesswork, I might as well liberate myself from the restrictions of emulating the brain and just think about the best way to create a digital mind given the hardware available to me. So that's what my colleagues and I are doing with OpenCog — trying to build a thinking machine that doesn't emulate the brain in any detail, drawing some inspiration from neuroscience but just as much from cognitive psychology, computer science and other areas. But if other researchers want to apply their talent for creative guesswork to figure out how to make more closely brainlike AGI systems — more power to 'em! I have fairly strong intuitions about what path toward AGI is best to follow at the present time — but I also do strongly believe there are going to be many different workable paths to AGI, probably leading to many different kinds of minds.
AGI systems may also one day help us better understand the complexities of neuroscience — one can easily envision an AGI system making better sense of the intricacies of Modha and Singh's diagram, that I showed above, than any human brain. There may be a future phase where AGI and neuroscience advance in synergy, each helping the other along — though my own guess is that, after this phase, AGI will continue advancing far beyond the restrictions of the human brain architecture. I see the human brain as one particular, albeit very fascinating and relevant, way of achieving a modest amount of general intelligence. It's fascinating to watch our understanding of general intelligence unfold, both in the context of the general intelligence machines in our heads, and more broadly.
Neuroscience, like molecular biology and many other aspects of biology, has been advancing steadily and rapidly during recent decades. It is possible that future discoveries will yield radical conceptual breakthroughs, invalidating the ideas reviewed here. My guess, though, is that this won't be the case. There will be new insights, there will be exciting neural phenomena unknown to 2012 science. But on the whole, I suspect that ongoing empirical neuroscience discoveries will serve to fill in more and more details — until, finally, we understand how the various minicolumns and other modules inside the various cortical columns distributed throughout the cortex operate and co-operate in such a way as to give rise to the diverse coordinated behaviors of the multiple complex networks binding the brain's multiple, differently-architected regions into complex adaptive behaviors.
In other words, I suspect that when we finally do thoroughly understand the brain, what we will have will be : A long list of particular variations on the structures and dynamics I've described here, and a solid understanding of how these variations work together to let all the numerous parts and subnetworks of the brain collaboratively do their particular jobs.
What, specifically, would need to be done to move beyond our current level of understanding of the brain? — to validate or refute the general ideas outlined here, and to try to fill in the multitudinous missing details? There are many possible routes, but by far the easiest would be to find a way of imaging the living brain with high spatial and temporal resolution. Till we have that, moving rapidly toward a fleshed-out holistic theory of brain function is going to be really tough — though we will continue to make step by step progress. So — personally, if I wanted to work on neuroscience, I'd focus on developing radically better imaging tools.
After writing this article, I peeked back at the chapter on neuroscience from my book From Complexity to Creativity, published in 1997. Conceptually, the picture I gave there was basically the same as the one I have described here. Back then I hadn't done any concrete computational neuroscience work, nor much practical AI work; and the neuroscience papers I read had even more gaps than the ones I read today. There were no detailed models of minicolumnar structure then, for example; and empirical data in favor of memory glocality was very scarce. But the high-level view of the brain I abstracted from the literature was about the same as the one I limn from what I read today. Little by little, year by year, we understand more and more. Till eventually — perhaps after a breakthrough in brain imaging — we'll see the whole picture in detail … though the picture may end up so complex that no individual human mind will be able to fully understand the whole thing!
Interesting. Thank you for investing the energy and time in not only researching these ideas but putting out there in many formats for us to consume. I was wondering, what is the current state of your own work? How interactive is your is your virtual-pet when hooked up to the latest version of your AI? Additionally, how would you rate other simulation such as the Blue Brain project in achieving emergent AI?
I am a Director of Special Education and currently working on my dissertation. I loved your illustration on how the mechanics of the brain. My dissertation is called Educators Understanding of Poor Working Memory and Metacognition-Building Interventions to Create Effective Instructional Designs. I would like to request to use some of these illustrations for my dissertation. I would give you credit and will send you a free copy of my dissertation upon completion and after it has been published. my home is email is firstname.lastname@example.com or work is firstname.lastname@example.com
I think AIXI approximations should also be mentioned. These programs are general reinforcement learners. And when given enough time they have been measured to be the best at dealing with randomly generated environments.
As Marcus Hutter said, this is the top-down approach to the AI challenge.
One aspect that n/science does not seem to latch on to is the way evolution seems to have given the brain several 'major points of computational outcome' that can then proceed to dominate mental action depending which one is 'in charge'. There is the logical homo sap mind of the L cortex + Default Mode network, the Subconscious Hominin or ape-mind of our early ancestors with its emotional palette and some simple speech (swear words eg Tourettes), and the fish/reptilian vertebrate mind that 'runs the body' from the hind-brain medullary regions. It appears that the putamen based 'mechanisms of attention' will light upon/listen to whichever any of these 3 main centres it 'chooses' and then this proceeds to dominate subsequent behaviour outcomes. The ego or 'position in the pecking order' is another one, that operates in both H.Sap and virtually all vertebrates in the mating season. Belief for example can be explained as a 'survival reflex' of early hominins with simple language that is lodged in the 'monkey-mind' levels (=R cortex and mid-brain). Stay in those early camps by the fireside or become a leopard's supper in effect is what the instructions were in those times. Hence we see how casting aspersions upon a person's belief tends to elicit highly emotional responses very often. Neuroscience needs to remember the pressures of evolution when trying to explain 'global' behaviour patterns of the mind. The very existence of the subconscious at all came about from the need to 'suppress' visualised dangers when planning the hunt, which simpler ape-minds treated as being as a real and actually present set of events. This is done by a process of circuit inhibition (and this process it has been shown can equally be disinhibited).

Julian Russell/Staff photographer UFO expert Richard Dolan speaks to the curious at the Exeter UFO Festival on Saturday.
EXETER— When T.L. Groves was hiking in the Franconia Notch region of the White Mountains, she came upon a discovery that has played a significant role in her life since: an alien.Accompanied by the green being, Groves stopped by a table for UFO Reports in New Hampshire at the fourth annual UFO Festival in Exeter on Saturday to have her sighting recorded.As she told her story to Katherine Brisendine, founder of UFO Reports in New Hampshire, she regaled Foster's with her experience.Al, an Altrusian, was rescued after his flying saucer crashed in the Franconia Notch area. Groves, from Concord, said Al and his spaceship crash have been blamed for the fall of the Old Man in the Mountain."He was cold and wet and near dying," Groves said of Al. "I brought him home and took care of him."Her biggest fear, she said, is having agents from the X-Files or Stargate find him."They'd use him as a lab rat," she said.Al seems to be blamed for the demise of the Old Man in the Mountain, but Groves said that just isn't the case. She said the face of the Man in the Mountain falling was due to the "social weather ricochet" that occurred after not one, but two Kentucky Derby races were held in one year yielding completely different winners. Groves said she found this very odd.Al, who doesn't talk much, but uses mental telepathy when he does, speaks only through Groves. He is unable to return to his home planet, which is near the constellation Sirius, because his spaceship is all rubble as a result of the crash, Groves explained. But since he's here now, the duo hope to educate others about the possibility of extraterrestrial life, the very reason they came to the festival."We want to share with people who are interested in life out there," Groves said.Tony Woody, of Exeter and a U.S. Navy veteran, said he has had two experiences of his own that leave no doubt in his mind whether other life forms exist.One, he said, occurred in Exeter about five years ago. Another was in 1980 when he was preparing for deployment in the Azores. As he and a comrade were walking past the air traffic control tower, he noticed a light coming out of some water out of the corner of his eye, he said.At 23 years old and a qualified flight engineer, he said the idea of spacecraft wasn't one he had any particular notion about, it just didn't normally cross his mind."I knew airplanes. I didn't think about that kind of stuff back then," he said. "After that, I knew we were being visited. They're here."He said he believes what he saw was a spacecraft based on the way it hovered, it's size — about 150 feet wide — and the pattern of illumination its lights gave."There's no way we had that kind of technology in 1980," he said.Brisendine began recording sightings like Woody's and Groves' about eight years ago after she had heard so many stories from people who claimed to have witnessed something extraterrestrial.While Roswell is well known, she said, there were sightings in 1947 over the same time period in Exeter as well."The people who report them is a small percentage compared to actual sightings," she said.That's due in large part to the stereotype that surrounds believers, she said, but that's the type of thing the annual festival is aimed to get rid of and that her recordings will help give legitimacy to."It's my own private hobby, but I've decided to share the knowledge so people know what's going on," she said.But she doesn't take down stories without a critical ear, either. Brisendine said she's a skeptic at heart and goes through the process of elimination to debunk someone's story before taking it as fact. But there are some things that just can't be explained, she said."I find that people who sit down with me are genuine," she said.Inside the town hall where speakers gave talks throughout the day, twin sisters Audrey and Debbie Starborn, shared their story of being subject to abductions throughout their entire lives. They now run a support group for others who have been abducted called the Starborn Support group."It's about spreading awareness and releasing the taboo," Audrey said.They said education and knowledge on the subject are key to being prepared for a visit, who most everyone Foster's spoke to at the event stated was near."The more people who are prepared, the better we'll be," Audrey said.

WHEN a disease is uncommon, its symptoms diffuse and its usual victims female, the correct diagnosis is too often overlooked by one doctor after another and patients are labeled nuisances or referred to psychiatrists. So it is with two rare disorders of the adrenal glands: Addison's disease and Cushing's syndrome. Both are deadly without proper treatment. The deaths of two women underscore the need for patients as well as doctors to recognize the symptoms of adrenal malfunction before it is too late. Their last names are being withheld at their families' request.
Lynne, 33, of Australia, a wife and mother of three small children, had frequent bouts of various infections. She was often very tired. Her skin had darkened over the years. Her health problems were variously attributed to her pregnancies, a hectic life and exposure to her children's infections. One day, she started vomiting and could not stop. The next day, she collapsed in a coma and was rushed to the hospital, where a belated diagnosis of Addison's disease was made. Unfortunately, many organs had failed by then. Her brain was severely damaged, and she died after three days on life support.

March 6, 2010 Loosey-Goosey Saudi
Suffering perhaps from Stockholm Syndrome--too close identification with one's oppressor--oh, ok, she's finally gone nuts after imbibing extreme feminism--or something, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd swoons over the progressivism and liberalization over in...Saudi Arabia.
Yes, Saudi Arabia - where slavery is permitted but practicing a religion other than Islam is not, Saudi Arabia where public hangings are public entertainment, Saudi Arabia - where women cannot be seen in public and are forbidden to drive and must never, ever be seen in the company of a man not her relative, Saudi Arabia - where fathers sell their pre pubescent daughters into marriage with older (50+ men), Saudi Arabia is now relatively uh, advanced. Well according to the authoritative Maureen Dowd who learned everything about the country in a whirlwind week and a half as she writes in her column entitled "Loosey-Goosey Saudi:" [A]fter spending 10 days here, I can confirm that, at their own galactically glacial pace, they are chipping away at gender apartheid and cultural repression. Oh sure, Dowd admits Saudi Arabia still has some minor problems: following the orders of the not so benign King Abdullah, "the bearded religious police officers" smashed stores that sold red roses or any other memento of Valentine's Day. And a few years ago female students who rushed out of a burning building were shoved back in, many to die or suffer horrible burns; modesty trumped their safety. Minor problems. And hey, certainly an improvement over secular democratic Israel, where all religions are tolerated and men and women of all backgrounds live their lives in freedom. Accepting the beliefs of her host, Dowd complains that Israel is no longer a secular society but, in a Jewish country, rabbis (she calls them religious militants) have a right to voice their opinion. Those who disagree with the rabbis also have a right to express their impress her as much as Saudi Arabia. And this non Jewish woman, along with some Jews, misinterprets a daily men's prayer thanking God for not making them a woman. Imagine that, in the privacy of their synagogues or home, some Israeli men thank God they aren't women because these men realize they are incapable carrying out the important responsibilities of women. Maureen Dowd, stop whining about your life in America, about life for others in Israel and just stay in Saudi Arabia. You'd look oh so good in a veil; the world would be so much safer without you at the wheel of a car and we'd be spared your regressive silly thoughts when you're confined to your room under the supervision of a male guardian. |

The crowd is a rousing mix of laughter and anticipation. There's a group of people on my left; old enough that I'm certain must have, at some point, by dare, decision, or pressure, done some hallucinogenic before homeroom back in the '70's. They pass around a flask while a pack of smokers (not cigarettes) huddles amongst themselves. There's this distant chant of, "STP! STP!" as stagehands break down old equipment, move in new guitars and test drums and mics. The distorted, chaotic opening act Cage the Elephant have stopped playing and retreated to the back, maybe even a bit earlier than planned, making me believe they are probably decent men on some level. While I commend them for their efforts, I came to see Stone Temple Pilots.
It's 9:15pm when the lights dim and the stage goes dark. There are cheers and clamors, all intended to exclaim some sort of "Thank you" to this band who, in a world where we are owed nothing, in a time when companies are undervaluing their own employees and classrooms are far too packed with children for teachers to engage constantly, came to give us a show. The band comes out, heading off to their respective instruments. 1, 2, 3 and JEEEE-ZUS! Scott Weiland's waiving his megaphone as the background graphics begin streaming in the distance. The stage lights are up full blast as he begins churning out the lyrics to Crackerman and Heaven & Hot Rods. Once a blur in black latex jumpsuits and fur coats (a decade earlier during the No. 4-era), Weiland prefers to sport ties, suits, and sweaters these days. Although not as animated as he once was, he still seems to be everywhere at once. I witness how he can still contort his body into a series of major-league fastball windups. Halfway into Vasoline, I begin to understand that every band I have ever believed to be blowing my mind when I was a teenager was simply a measly, half-assed messenger delivering a wadded note from Stone Temple Pilots, from wherever they might have been that night.
Through the beginning chords of the majestic Plush and STP's rendition of Led Zeppelin's Dancing Days, I realize that this experience is nearing religious. I try to figure out how I'm seeing what I'm seeing while at the same time not missing any details. I focus on Rob playing the bass and exchanging smiles and head nods with fans; Dean grooving to solid, chunky guitar riffs; Eric and his solid, consistent drumming, all while Scott leads the pack. I find myself paralyzed and damn-near in tears, similar to a housewife at a Tom Jones concert show in Las Vegas. I apologize inside to myself for every single solitary moment of life I have ever wasted sitting still and doing nothing.
From the brooding, brutal riffs of Down and Sex Type Thing, I find myself amongst hundreds of others, all up against the stage, somehow all in the front row together. Through the sweaty, claustrophobic encore consisting of Dead & Bloated and Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart, I begin to understand just how lucky I am.
As Scott and the gang sing the final lyrics and hit those last, precious notes, they gather at center stage and bow. They reach out and shake hands. They thank us for coming out. The lights go out and a digital facsimile of music plays from a CD through the house speakers. My friends and I make our way past the crowds, through the gates, and into a taxi. I can still feel the feedback and static from the guitar rattling my bones. Any possible excuse I have ever considered for future use has been stripped away by what I've just witnessed. Like I'm going out into the world to try again, apologizing to myself and God for any moment of blood coursing through my veins that I ever took for granted.
On our way to a house party, the taxi stops at a red light at an intersection that is right outside of my office. I sit there at the base of the building looking up and thinking: I go in there every day and sit in one square of that glass grid and keep my mouth shut during meetings. I count the stories up to twenty-four and try to figure out exactly which square in the grid of glass is mine. My buddy says the way the building is flanked by two shorter buildings one could argue that it looks like an extended middle finger, and therefore spending all day there could essentially pass for a rebellious gesture. Like me showing up on time and looking at a computer all day is, in it's own quirky way, like flipping the bird to "The Man." I think to myself what a good decision it was to skip the conference call I had to dial into that night, that the earful I'll get from my boss on Monday will be well worth it.
We arrive at the party, right off of Armitage and Sheffield, and enter through the side. I allow everyone to enter before me and walk down the pavement towards the ominous glow, hands in my pockets, Weiland forever screaming in my head.

In Paris Hilton's world, it is a crime to leave home without your hair extensions. Ms. Hilton has been slapped with a $3.5 million lawsuit by Hairtech International for neglecting to meet her obligations to promote their Dream Catcher Hair Extensions. Amazing name, by the way. Keep reading »

Quotable: Kathy Hilton Feels For Dina Lohan
"I have sympathy for Dina Lohan right now. In fact, I feel bad for any parent whose child is in jail—it can be really tough. Those days when Paris was in jail were some of the most difficult of my life—it is hard for any parent to deal with. Unfortunately, if you do not follow the rules then this is what can happen—it's part of the rules of our society. I think Lindsay will learn from this experience though. To be in a small cage like that by yourself certainly gives you time to think about things."
—Kathy Hilton, aka mom of Paris, understands what Lindsay Lohan and her mom are going through, since Paris once occupied the cell next door to LiLo's [Radar] Keep reading »
Paris Hilton Busted For Pot, Again
Paris Hilton has found herself in a bit of trouble for the second time this month. Everyone's favorite heiress was at an airport on the French island of Corsica when officials found less than a gram of marijuana in her purse. She was held briefly before being released without any charges. This comes just a short while after she was detained in South Africa, after allegedly getting high at a World Cup game. Hilton's rep swears that both happenings were purely misunderstandings, but I don't know how many times you can throw that excuse around until it just doesn't work anymore. What, is it sage she's carrying around to protect herself from bad vibes? Do you think this will be the last we will hear of Paris and her herb of choice, or do you think getting caught with pot is just part of the Hilton lifestyle? [People] Keep reading »

Lindsay Lohan Swears She Didn't Drink. So What Happened?
At an after-party for the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, Lindsay Lohan's SCRAM anklet went off. The thing is supposed to monitor whether the person wearing it has any alcohol in their system, which leads us — and the judge who immediately issued a warrant for her arrest — to believe that LiLo was drinking. But the scandalicious actress swears it isn't so. "These accusations are completely false," she said. Lohan has a probation violation hearing set for July 6 and she has already posted 10 percent of her $200,000 bail in order to stay out of the slammer. [Radar Online]
Lindsay is so sure she didn't have any alcohol in her system when her SCRAM went off that she has vowed to get proof before her court appearance. Of course, we'd like to help her in any way we can, so, after the jump, we have some excuses possible reasons for the SCRAM's "mistake." Keep reading »
Quotable: Paris Hilton Advises Snooki On Going Hollywood
"I was just giving [Snooki] advice. I just told her to remain the same sweet girl and not let anything affect her; be strong and don't pay attention to bad press. People can say mean things about you, but you should know who you are and not pay attention to it."
— Paris Hilton apparently isn't paying attention to the fact that her star has dimmed. She should have told Snooki to enjoy her 15 minutes because it's coming to an end. [Us Weekly] Keep reading »
Frisky Exclusive: We Ask The Cast Of "RJ Berger" If High School Was Rough For Them
Last night, MTV threw a red carpet party for their new show, "The Hard Times of RJ Berger." Guess they couldn't call it a "premiere," since, technically, it aired the night before, following the MTV Movie Awards. Anyway, I was desperate to chat up the cast since I drool over nerd-friendly shows, so I jumped a fence and knocked out a security guard to get in. OK, actually they invited me, but still. After the jump, I ask the stars of the show, as well as MTV royalty like Paris Hilton and Warren the Ape, if they were bullied in high school. Keep reading »
Paris Hilton Releases New Fragrance. Will You Buy It?
Paris Hilton has unleashed a new fragrance upon the world: Tease. Did you know this is her tenth fragrance? I am not lying when I tell you that I had not even registered that she had any eau de Paris on the shelves. I must have skipped that aisle at Wal-Mart. (For the record, that is not a Wal-Mart diss. I love Wal-Mart. You may find me in its aisles.) In any case, our favorite socialite channeled Marilyn Monroe for the Tease campaign. "I got to dress up like my idol Marilyn Monroe, and we ended up with some great photos," Hilton explained, "She's always been such an inspiration to me." Personally, Paris is my inspiration. Tragically, she doesn't know I exist. But what does a tease smell like? Fuji apples, white peach nectar, and "warm sands." Purchase at your own peril, people. Keep reading »

The man elected to end war and turn the page on George W. Bush instead expanded American militarism and persecution of dissidents.
Why do Americans hate the Iranians? Most Americans probably do not.
AP/Pablo Martinez Monsivais
The deal with Iran is potentially an international game changer comparable to Richard Nixon's opening to Mao's Red China and Ronald Reagan's overtures to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
U.S. Navy/MC3 Paul Kelly
Lobbyists for military contractors are swarming all over Capitol Hill these days in a frenzy to stave off automatic budget cuts as part of the second wave of sequestration, due in January.
Years from now, when someday the nation is mired in another recession or bogged down in another ill-conceived war, these may be remembered as the good old days.

Jones' new book, "They Were Soldiers," was written to give veterans and their families alienated and estranged by war a chance to find their way back to one another.

Twenty-six year National Guardsman Jerrod Hays lost nearly half his face to a roadside bomb in Iraq. Now, like too many other Americans, he could lose his home to banks.

The last time I saw American soldiers in Afghanistan, they were silent. Knocked out by gunfire and explosions that left them grievously injured, as well as drugs, they were carried from medevac helicopters into a base hospital to be plugged into machines that would measure how much life they had left to save. They were bloody. They were missing pieces of themselves. They were quiet.

Four decades after his Vietnam experience, John Kerry has achieved what will undoubtedly be the highest post of his lifetime: secretary of state. And he's looked like a bumbler first class. Has he also once again been a true man of his time, of a moment in which American foreign policy, as well as its claim to global moral and diplomatic leadership, is in remarkable disarray?
AP/Jerome Delay
Few Americans outside the Pentagon have been watching Mali, where a midsummer election marked the end of a painful year of civil war and incendiary Islamic radicalism.

At least 37 people were killed and 42 injured when a suicide bomber struck a cafe in a Shiite neighborhood, officials say.
A doctored photo of Britain's former prime minister posing in front of exploding bombs may play a large role in how the Iraq War is recalled; beginning in January, millions of uninsured Americans will receive health coverage under Medicaid; meanwhile, the climate threat we should all be worried about is water scarcity. These discoveries and more after the jump.

President Obama's foreign policy now seems to be defined by a series of ironies.
LoopZilla (CC BY-SA 2.0)
War, the military-industrial complex, and the national security state that go with it cost in every sense an arm and a leg. And that, in the twenty-first century, is where so many American tax dollars have gone.
The likelihood of peace in Syria remains distant, as the civil war there rages on. But the grim prospect of a U.S. strike has been forestalled, if only temporarily, preventing a catastrophic deepening of the crisis there.

Multiple attacks in Iraq on Tuesday claimed dozens of lives as that country's internal conflict heats up. The U.N. says 1,861 people were killed by violence in July and August.

The Washington debates about the Syrian chemical weapons, and whether there is an Obama "Plan B" by which the United States may yet bomb Syria, seem deaf to what really happened last week.

In the wake of an apparent break in the march to a wider war, the reality of a nuclear dimension in Syria remains largely unspoken.
White House/Lawrence Jackson
President Obama's speech on Syria on Tuesday evening was a curious affair, a call to go to war that ended by saying: yes, but not now.
Christopher Weyant, Cagle Cartoons, The Hill —
By Mr. Fish —
It's a paradox: While hawks criticize Obama for not being willing to act boldly enough against Assad, doves criticize him for being too willing to risk a wider war.
The suicide of a USAID worker, the first in a decade of deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, spotlights a gap in policy, and a potentially wider problem.

In an increasingly phantasmagorical world, here's my present fantasy of choice.
I have been appalled and outraged by the stupidity and ignorance of American leaders going into one war after another in places with strange names, faraway countries where we never had a chance to prevail.

Iraq and Libya have been taken out, and Iran has been heavily boycotted. Syria is now in the cross-hairs. Why? Here is one overlooked scenario.
"Never has the use of violence brought peace in its wake. War begets war, violence begets violence." So said Pope Francis, addressing the crowd on Sunday in the Vatican City's St. Peter's Square.
DoD/Erin A. Kirk-Cuomo
The mood of the public and of many in Congress is summarized easily: "No more Iraqs."
U.S. Navy/MC2 Andrew B. Church
It would seem a piece of wisdom picked up on the school playground not to start a fight that you don't know how to finish.
The odd discourse in Washington around Syria assumes a moral superiority on the part of the United States and its allies on this issue that can only astonish anyone who knows the history.
Manny Francisco, Cagle Cartoons, Manila, The Phillippines —
AP/Evan Vucci
This week we honor those who retain their commitment to truth in the face of easy answers, incomplete reporting and official misinformation, such as former Rep. Dennis Kucinich.
Adam Zyglis, Cagle Cartoons, The Buffalo News —
The United States is not in charge of international war and peace.
President Obama surely didn't want to offer his commemoration of the 1963 March on Washington and Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech on a day dominated by rumors of war.

Now that the Arab Spring has been turned into a totally owned subsidiary of the Saudi royal family, it is time to honor Prince Bandar bin Sultan as the most effective Machiavellian politician of the modern era.

History says don't do it. Most Americans say don't do it. But President Obama has to punish Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad's homicidal regime with a military strike—and hope that history and the people are wrong.
AP/Patrick Semansky
The soldier's 35-year sentence means the end of the rule of law. It terminates the ability of the press and the public to hold power accountable. And it presages the rise of a government under which the just will become criminals.

Sixty years ago this week, the United States, in collaboration with Britain, staged a coup in Iran to preserve the control of Western companies over Iran's rich oil fields.

Documentary filmmaker and government surveillance reporter Laura Poitras is a model for a new generation of investigative journalists bent on protecting their sources while uncovering government wrongdoing.
U.S. Army/Sgt. Derec Pierson
George Bush's overwrought and misdirected war against global terror, conceived as a war of the Righteous to destroy Evil, having failed wherever it was launched, has now been reconceived under Barack Obama as a war against political dysfunction.
Why is the nation more bitterly divided today than it's been in 80 years?
Joseph Heller's classic, satirical anti-war novel, published in 1961 and based on his experiences as a bombardier in World War II, is sadly relevant today, as Obama's wars, in Afghanistan and beyond, drag on.
AP/Karim Kadim
A string of bomb attacks has hit mainly Shiite neighborhoods of the Iraqi capital, killing at least 40 people during celebrations marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the BBC reports.

The child safety seat requirements shown in the "How to Properly Use Child Safety Seats in Wisconsin" program are a reflection of current Wisconsin state law. These legal requirements are intended to protect children from injuries in motor vehicle crashes. However, if you wish to provide even greater protection for your child—beyond what is required by state law—or need to locate a trained child safety seat technician near you to ensure proper car seat installation, please consult www.healthychildren.org or www.nhtsa.gov/cps/cpsfitting

Anyone who knows me well can tell you that I'm a terrible liar, and that whenever I try to deceive someone, it ends up being much more comical than underhanded. So with that said, we have Mario's latest single, Ohh Baby, which will go down in history as being his magnum opus, even better than Break Up and Let Me Love You combined. Alright, I admit that lie wasn't hard to spot, but it is a solid effort. With tons of radio appeal that even Mario acknowledges at the song's outset, Ohh Baby has the crooner flirting with his girl over a cheerful, slowly pulsing, Jackpot Music-provided beat. Lyrically and even production-wise, Mario isn't exploring any new territory here, but he's gotten this far obviously knowing how to keep his fans satisfied. But those fans are the only ones who will be satisfied, because if you're not feeling Mario by now, this song likely won't convert you. If you are, though, Baby can be found on Mario's latest LP D.N.A., which is available now.

Nightshift is awesome, just found out about them recently, everything I have tried is delicious.
This beer is awesome cook with. Marinate Chicken, Steak, vegetables etc... and interesting to drink, although i probably wouldn't want to kill a whole bottle. I'll definitely be doing it again.

On tap at Atwoods Tavern in Cambridge, MA.
Brief review - from memory.
Brown/amber color with no head whatsoever served in a flute glass. Completely translucent with no sediment or cloudiness. The heat of the habanero pepper is immediate and dominating with regards to the smell and taste (moreso for the taste). There is also a very nice balance of malt/hops since I was able to decipher both over something as bold as a pepper. The pepper flavor itself was very recognizable and tasty. Many pepper beers are a mess, but this did a great job of portraying the pepper used. This beer is medium-bodied and obviously leaves some heat in the aftertaste as intended. Overall I would highly recommend this beer because it's delicious and delivers as promised.

Poured from the tap at the brewery on September 8th, 2012.
This beer poured a very appealing reddish/brown cloudy colour with an off-white head that doesn't last long. The smell of the habanero peppers is abundant, but not overpowering with a sweet note to it (probably because of the agave). The taste was what struck me as the most surprising. Unlike most pepper beers, the beer is not focused on the heat, but rather the flavour of the peppers. It tasted sweet initially then immediately moving into the flavour of the peppers with a bit of rye. The finish is when you get the heat, which is not overpowering at all, but extremely balanced. Overall the heat and sweetness are balanced and it is an extremely great beer.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely.

Batch #5, bottled 8/9/12, 7.3% ABV
A: Pours a reddish amber with a good sized and fizzy tan head. Fades at a moderate pace, leaving almost zero lacing behind.
S: Some nice rye bread and lots of pepper. Vegetal pepper aroma with a strong chile heat. Agave nectar is fairly prominent as well. Spiced, hot, and sweet. Interesting.
T: Wow this one is definitely interesting. Spicy rye bread and sweet agave nectar up front. Turns into the vegetal pepper in the middle (but not too much) and then bam, in comes the wave of heat towards the finish. More burning chile pepper in the finish and lingering aftertaste. The lingering burn is one of the best parts, it goes on and on and on forever.
M: Medium bodied and smooth (other than the burning sensation!)
O: A very unique and surprisingly good beer. It's not very traditional but it has good, strong flavors with excellent balance. It's not too spicy, too hot or too sweet. The flavors meld surprisingly well. It's hot but not overly so, it's a borderline chile beer in my humble opinion. Definitely the star of the show in this one. Surprisingly smooth and drinkable for a beer of this style too.

Big fluffy foamy head, hazy dark maroon slight orange color.
Nose nice pepper, light sweet malts, little fruity candy, light candy malt sugar, hint caramel, bit earthy.
Taste plenty of hot pepper, hot pepper, sweet candy malts, caramel, toasty reddish malts, light candy reddish malt, hint fruity yeast additions, light fruity hops. Lots of hot pepper that builds, sweet finish, lots of hot pepper finish.
Mouth is med bod, lighter carb.
Well the beer delivers the hot pepper, decent beer to go with it, but nothing too special or crazy.

Pours a slightly murky deep reddish brown color with a huge off white head that persists forever leaving moderate lace on the way down. Smells of spicy rye and peppery yeast phenols with a sweet lightly bready and caramel malt base with a hint of dark fruit. I can't find any peppers in the nose, they must be subtle. The flavor is sweet and malty up front with spice and rye providing balance. I found the pepper and it comes in lightly in the middle and lingers long into the finish. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet spicy mouthfeel. Nice brew, I could have used a bit more pepper but I enjoyed it just the same.

Poured from a 750 ml into a dfh snifter batch# 6 bottled on 9/12/12
A: pours a hazy redish brown with half a finger if off white head that settles to a film... Nice spots of lacing...
S: some rye notes and a touch if sweet agave, not a lot goin on in the nose here, kind of like rye bread. Also a bit of Belgian yeast aroma as the beer begins to warm.
T: agave sweetness with some belgian yeast fruit notes, apple/cherry balance with rye complexity, there is a slight taste of pepper vegetativeneas on the finish where the pepper like in bringing some heat to the finish.
M: medium body and not as grainy as I expected from a rye beer, heat in the finish, leaving the mouth with a slight burnin habanero flavor.
O: I was wondering how the peppers would come into play here , and I feel as though they were done wonderfully, I am not usually a huge fan of pepper beers, this is well rounded with a nice bit of heat on the finish... Good show.

Appearance: Hazed dark copper. Almost no head. Off-white drops to a thin collar in short order. Aggressive carbonation on the pour. Nice bright red notes when held to direct light.
Smell: Slight spicy rye. Some real pepper, as in the vegetable. Mild spiciness hides in the back. A mild sweetness pulls through. Nice and clean. Some caramel malts. A touch biscuity. Spicy as in pepper. Well balanced with a soft hint of the habanero heat.
Taste: Mellow pale malts with a mild roasted edge. Caramel sweetness with some biscuit/cracker dryness. Habanero spiciness sits on the lips and the back of the swallow. Touches of rye spiciness play with the raw pepper notes. Agave nectar is a clean, incredibly clean, underlying sweetness. Slight hints of grassy and herbal hops in the back. Warming allows the habanero to come through a bit more, but it never gets aggressive.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied and smooth. A mild dryness on the back. Low-moderate carbonation.
Overall: Recent batches have dialed up the habanero and it works. Balanced and approachable for a chile beer.

This was a pretty beer. In a snifter it was a clear cherry amber color with virtually no head.
A spicy/peppery aroma. Grain. Faint hops.
Mostly a peppery taste. Some rye. Late hops.
I thought this was nicely spiced. Tangy, but not overdone. I had this with a Mexican salad (beans, peppers, onions, etc) and thought it complimented the entrée well.

First had: on tap at Night Shift
Rusty brown pour with a thin off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts, mild peppery spice, light fruit notes. The taste was pretty mellow for a habanero beer, nice pale malt and honey/agave sweetness up front, toasty grains, green pepper, followed by some hot pepper prickle that was kept in check by the sweeter elements, making for a pretty smooth mouthfeel overall. Medium-bodied and quite enjoyable.

A - absolutely toffee colored, opaque - only such colored beer I've yet met. Moderate head, white, 1/2 inch...spare bit of lacing.
S - deep, spicy without acid....faint resin...faintly like wild-yeasted bread while it's rising/resting. ....should that mean anything to you.
T - bitter without any sharpness at all, sweet near-finish then warming heat at the back of the tongue.
M - fine carbonation (meaning small but consistent, not at all flat, not overwhelming...) substantial body
Overall - such an interesting and tasty beer. Not something I'd likely get again, as this is not so much my style - very glad I tried it. I can imagine a friend who especially enjoys beer/food pairings having a lot of fun with this..

Heard about this one a long time ago and looked forward to trying it. Notes from the weekend. Batch 16
A- Dark red body, almost brown, with a silky off-white head. Fine bubbles and a nice thick ring around the beer. Good legs and some nice lace webs.
S- Fruity up front for me with apple, banana and pepper notes. Clove and Belgian yeast spice certainly from the strain used here. Some toasted malts and brown sugar as well.
T- Definite habanero pepper flavor leads the way but does not overpower in any way, it gives off a pepper flesh flavor like the vegetable itself. Apple, raisin, grape, banana and some yeast spice. Toasted nutty malt, caramel and slight rye.
MF- Moderately thick body with a foamy, somewhat creamy mouthfeel. Spicy feel builds with time but at a low to medium level at it's peak. Carbonation is silky and on the higher end.
Nice Belgian Brown feel almost with good fruit and some habanero flavor.

Poured this into a tulip glass.
A - I love the color of this beer. It pours a dark reddish brown color with about a fingers worth of off white head to it. Clearer at the bottom of the glass but gets darker from the middle of the glass up. The entire time I drank this I admired the color of this beer.
S - can definitely pick up traces of spiciness with a little floral hop characteristic. A little sweet honey mixed in there as well.
T - up front its very smooth with tiny traces of sweetness. Picked up quite a bit of maltiness and honey and little hints of dates or cherries. The magic happens in the back of the throat after swallowing. Thats when a little explosion of spiciness occurs. The spice isn't overpowering at all and still allowed me to enjoy the sweetness of the honey.
M - there was a semi-dry finish for me on this one. All that was left in my mouth was the spice, almost like I had some hot sauce or something.
O - this was the first time I had anything by Night Shift after hearing so much about them. I thought this was a very well crafted beer that was enjoyable. The spicy quality to it was great when I first started drinking this beer but as I made my way further down to the bottom of the glass, the enjoyment of the spice kind of wore off. It was a really good beer and I would recommend it to people. I've never been a fan of pepper beers but I did really enjoy this one.

Big thanks goes out to beeruser for sharing this one at a past Random Sunday Tasting! Served from bottle into a Mikkeller taster flute. Poured red-orange with a minimal off-white head. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, earth, spice, pepper, chipotle, and relish. The flavor was of sweet malt, relish, earth, pickle, pepper, and salt. It had a light feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty decent brew. Oh great, another pepper spiced beer what could possibly go wrong based on my past experiences? Actually this one actually was quite good and well balanced. The pepper aspect was definitely there, but it did not destroy your palate and stomp it into the mud. There was quite a bit else going on that helped to cut the heat and actually balance out the flavors that were present. A huge surprise since I have always hated life after drinking brews like this in the past. Definitely worth your time trying this one if you are a fan of the style.

$7 for a 12 oz. pour @ Atwoods, Somerville. Atwoods says this is 7.1 % abv.
Dark red with a thin ecru head thats quick to fade. Still, it looks like a glass of Trueblood. Ecru is now in my vocabulary and my reviews thanks to Buckeyenation.
Aroma is a bit sour mash at first. That fades and I get more of a fruitcake English old ale. Not a whole lotta pepper.
Fruity up front with bruised apple an cherry and just as I was wondering where the pepper would come in there's a rye pop and a hot habanero fade. This beer has a lot of action on the back end. Make of that what you will.
I bit thin but I don't like many beers with agave or honey thinned bodies.
I hate small pours but it's appropriate in this case. The heat built up a bit by the time I was done.

Batch 11
Poured from a 750ml into a snifter, the beer is a dark, vibrant, ruby color with a frothy, light, off-white head that starts a robust two inches and rapidly settles into a sparse, filmy coating. Smells a bit like a big quad...Belgian-like yeast characteristics, both fruity and floral, with a touch of pepper at the end. Flavors of mild roasted grain, but only for a split second because that's how long it takes for the sizzling burn to set in on your tongue and mouth. Very subtle to start, but this fire builds. Very good, as it doesn't overpower or sacrifice the flavor for the heat. The more you drink you start to get more Belgian characteristics, with a bit of yeast funk again, as well as some farmhouse spicing. The rye definitely gives a nice roasty and even grain backbone, and that pepper just keeps on coming. By the end of the palate, the pepper adds flavor as well as heat. Spicy, hot aftertaste, with touches of the grain bill once again. Clean and light in mouth, which helps keep things sharp overall. Smooth, clean finish. Interesting brew.

Reviewed from notes.
A - Poured into my Duvel tulip a nice lightly hazy light brown with a two finger light tan head that fades to leave nice solid lacing.
S - Ehh...light rye, super super faint habanero. Pretty much that's it. This was MUCH more potent on tap at the brewery.
T - Taste is similar to the nose unfortunately. More light rye, some sweet honey and malts, finish is light habanero flesh. Again, it is not that hot at all. Fairly disappointing.
M - Mouthfeel is rather thin/watery with light carbonation.
O - Overall, this is just okay. It was so much better on tap at the brewery. On tap it was potent and delicious, this is just a weary version.

Saw this bottle and I couldn't resist giving it a try.
I was not a fan.
Pours reddish brown with an off-white head.
Smells peppery but also some fruitiness.
Taste-The habanero tast is not subtle. Its not overpowering but you can miss it. It was kind of one note though as the I didnt get any after taste.
MF-The beer would be pretty refreshing but the heat hangs around between sips.
Overall- I personally didnt like it but the beer delivers exactly what it promises so if it sounds good to you will probably like it.

Pours a fairly murky mahogany color, sizable and very bubbly tannish head.
Smells like...Tabasco sauce? Strong garden vegetable character with fresh peppers and tomato and, I dunno, vinegar I guess.
Taste opens with some weird sweet spicy tomato juice character, this might be some odd V8 or Bloody Mary condition, fades into a pretty spicy zing in the aftertaste. There is definitely some odd and almost unpleasant stuff going on here, but I actually enjoy the spicy veggie aftertaste...God I have no idea how to rate this beer.
It would be strange to say drinkability is good in a beer that tastes like sauce and leaves you wanting water to put out the fire, and it's hard to pay attention to the mouthfeel beneath all the strange stuff going on here, but it feels pretty good as far as that goes.
Well, this was something.

We the community, not. My husgand and I have lived in Hood River for 32 years. We both want the new Wal-Mart. It's the only place in town our family can shop for undergarments and etc. Downtown shops are too expensive, and do not provide items needed for two young boys. I would rather take my money to Portland or The Dalles, if we lost Wal-Mart. That's what we did before Wal-Mart came to Hood River. The excuse about having too many box buildings is just than, an excuse. Everywhere I look there's a box building.
So please, do not include my husband and I when you say "We the community" because or opinion has not been asked for. My husband and I want the new Wal-Mart.

Normally, the JUNOs honour democracy by giving this award to the best-selling album. Last year, Michael Bublé's Christmas took the award. It was the second best-selling album in the world, outsold only by Adele's 21. The best-selling Canadian album in the world last year was Justin Bieber's Believe, while domestically, it was Céline Dion's Sans Attendre. It would certainly be fabulous to see either the work of a youth or a Francophone album nab the award. Hedley's Storms which continued to sell well last year won the Pop Album award last year. New to the international scene, Carly Rae Jepsen is up for the award for her second LP Kiss as is Marianas Trench for Ever After. Below are some tidbits about the artists and the albums.
Carly Rae Jepsen, Kiss
Mission, BC's pop princess is up for five JUNO awards this year, adding to her two nominations from 2010. Kiss is her second full-length album, the first being Tug of War. In-between the two, she released her EP Curiosity. Kiss was named by Allmusic.com as 2012′s tenth best album in the world and has achieved gold certification in Canada. It contains the best-selling Canadian single of all-time domestically, "Call Me Maybe" (7x platinum), a re-mix of her Top 20 gold hit "Curiosity", #1 hit "Good Time" with Owl City, Top 40 collaboration with Justin Bieber, "Beautiful", Top 30 hit "This Kiss", and her current charting single "Tonight I'm Getting Over You".
Céline Dion, Sans Attendre
The Charlemagne, Québec native is the best-selling Canadian recording artist of all-time worldwide. Currently, having sold 114 million records, she ranks 11th in the world. The album title, literally meaning "without waiting", was the only triple platinum Canadian release in 2012. Sans Attendre contains three duets with prominent singers: legendary Canadian Jean-Pierre Ferland, Johnny Hallyday (best-selling French recording artist of all-time), and Caribbean singer Henri Salvador. As the latter is no longer with us, this is a virtual duet. The first single from the album "Parler à mon père" peaked at #53 on the Canadian Hot 100, a respectable feat for a Francophone tune. It was the year's 77th biggest song in France. "Les Petits Pieds de Lea" made it to #80 on the Canadian Hot 100. Dion has won 20 JUNO awards.
Hedley, Storms
The BC band's 4th studio album won the JUNO for Pop Album of the Year last year. It has since attained platinum certification. The album spawned hit single "Invincible", a Top 10 hit, and "One Life", a Top 20 hit. Both songs made the year-end charts. Hedley released "Kiss You Inside Out" as a separate single later on. It became the band's best-selling single, peaking at #2 and finishing 2012 as the 2nd biggest Canadian song of the year. Due to its success, Hedley re-released Storms to include the single. The band has so far won two JUNO awards.
Justin Bieber, Believe
Stratford, Ontario's 19-year-old Justin Bieber has won 3 JUNOs thus far including one for Pop Album of the Year in 2011 (for My World 2.0).

In FEAR AND TREMBLING, Kierkegaard wanted to understand the anxiety that must have been present in Abraham when God commanded him to offer his son as a human sacrifice. Abraham had a choice to complete the task or to forget it. He resigned himself to the loss of his son, acting according to his faith. In other words, one must be willing to give up all his or her earthly possessions in infinite resignation and must also be willing to give up whatever it is that he or she loves more than God. Abraham had passed the test -- his love for God proved greater than anything else in him. And because a good and just Creator would not want a father to kill his son, God intervened at the last moment to prevent the sacrifice.
Soren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1855) was a 19th century Danish philosopher and theologian, generally recognized as the first existentialist philosopher.
