"Meant to be savored and sipped at room temperature, Samuel Adams Utopias ($150) is only for the most daring of beer connoisseurs. The 2009 batch is the strongest yet, with a staggering 27% alcohol by volume rating (a standard beer is about 5%). The rich, dark, uncarbonated (and world's strongest) beer is brewed in small batches, blended, and aged in the Barrel Room at the Samuel Adams Boston Brewery, where you'll find only 53 barrels of the stuff. The limited-edition 2009 batch of Utopias is bottled in numbered, ceramic brew kettle-shaped decanters."

Well, it's not quite the world's strongest beer but I wouldn't hold that against it. I'd hold my lips against it. Problem is it looks *almost* too good to drink. Almost.

Nice find, I have heard about Utopias. Other scotch whiskey barrel aged beers I have tried are amongst my personal favorites I especially like Innis and Gunn.

"A new study proves the old Roman saying, "A sound mind in a sound body" — the more fit one's heart is, the more one's brain seems to benefit, scientists now find. Many earlier studies have linked physical exercise with brainpower in humans and animals, but most of the research in people focused on children or older adults. The few studies of young adulthood — when the brain changes rapidly, establishing many traits linked with intelligence — have yielded ambiguous data. To help resolve this conflict, in a massive study, researchers investigated nearly all Swedish men born between 1950 and 1976 who were conscripted at age 18 into military service, which is compulsory in Sweden. The sample of a whopping 1,221,727 men used data on physical fitness and intelligence performance, and included 268,496 full sibling pairs and 3,147 twin pairs, of whom 1,432 were identical."

"The scientists discovered that cardiovascular fitness was linked with overall intelligence, although the same did not hold true for muscle strength and brainpower. Cardiovascular fitness was also linked with scores on tests of logical, verbal, technical and visuospatial capabilities and even socioeconomic status and educational attainment later in life.

Google Reader just released a couple of new features. One of them is the 'Send to' addition. Evernote is not among the default set of services available. But you can add other services yourself. I've added a mailto Evernote command. It looks like this: mailto:[your-private-evernote-mail]@m.evernote.com?subject=${title}&body=${source}%0A%0A${url}...
Nice idea Peter. I was just sat here wondering how I could use it to integrate Evernote, Instapaper and Diigo. I'll give this a go, cheers!
- Greg Gannicott
@greg I'm not sure you can read 'the rest' of the item. I'll paste here what is following the command. mailto:[your-private-evernote-mail]@m.evernote.com?subject=${title}&body=${source}%0A%0A${url} This will create an email to my Evernote inbox, where the title of the post becomes the subject and the body of the message contains the source and URL. Now I am not very technical ... so will someone come up with a more workable 'Send to Evernote' setup?
- Peter van Teeseling
It's a good start. Personally I don't use Evernote as a 'to read' client (I use Instapaper for that) but I will email notes containing URLs as a reminder of things to do or ideas. This works well with that in mind. I do intend to see what can be done with this new Google Reader share item. If I do think of anything new I'll post it here.
- Greg Gannicott
@greg. I also don't use Evernote as a 'to read' client, but I do save interesting articles (the full story) in Evernote as research material. This 'Send to' option does not include the full article. Guess it won't become as useful as it could be.

Thanks for posting this. Tried it and works like a charm. Just wish there was a way to include the article content in the body of the email, rather than only the title and URL, but a bit to ask for at this early stage I suppose.
- Michael Capehart
@Michael Though I haven't tried it with mailto: URLs or Evernote, we do support a ${body} placeholder in the URL template that you can use to get the full article.
- Mihai Parparita
If the ${body} tag doesn't work with regards to a mailto: URL it might be worth taking a look at the web2mail service (http://www.labnol.org/interne...) mentioned in item #2 of the article Peter posted above me. If I get the chance I might have a play around with it.

Yes, "send to Diigo set up" would be great.

"If you dig Evernote's capture powers but don't leave it constantly running on your system, the EveryJoe blog suggests creating a "Send To" shortcut in Windows' right-click menu to shuttle files over to where Evernote will catch them."

No, seriously, the Evernote Mac app is so much cooler than the windows ditto. Just haven't had the guts to go Mac yet...old habits die hard
- Jesper Kjær Hansen
@Jesper, the new Windows Evernote 3.5 interface will attempt to close the gap between mac and Windows. At the moment its still in Alpha version, but its progressing quite nicely.
