Statistics 167 at the University of Phoenix

The University of Phoenix offers a STAT167 Statistics for the Life Sciences course that is required for my degree program. Having successfully maintained a 4.0 for a while, I figured it might be moderately difficult at best, but not insurmountable. I was wrong. Maybe the content does not lend itself to the five-week block format of Phoenix. Maybe I am an idiot. Either way, it just doesn't click with me. If you are stuck taking this class at Phoenix, do yourself a favor and set significantly more time aside to study. You will thank yourself later. Trust me.

Flying Dog's Gonzo Imperial Porter, a Tribute to Thompson

I have long been a fan of Hunter S. Thompson. I lose myself in many of his pieces on travel, motorbikes, and rally racing. The Song of the Sausage Creature is one of my all time favorite of his works. Riding a Ducati at speeds that tempt the Grim Reaper to collect you prematurely...

Ralph Steadman somehow survived his encounter and subsequent experiences with Thompson and had been illustrating covers for the Flying Dog brewery. One of the latest creations is an imperial porter paying homage to Thompson with the quote "Good people drink good beer." the porter is stout at 9.2% ABV, but is smoother and milder than many of it's peers.

Flying Dog has this to say of the brew:

Dark, malty and mysterious, this porter is as complex as the man it celebrates. Brewed to honor the life of Hunter S. Thompson, Gonzo Imperial Porter is an assault on your taste buds with just the right amount of irreverence thrown in.
