Internal Controls:
Oversight of Longshore Special Fund Needs Improvement
AIMD-00-15: Published: Oct 29, 1999. Publicly Released: Oct 29, 1999.
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed issues concerning financial reporting and internal controls related to the Special Fund established by the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA), focusing on: (1) the feasibility of actuarially calculating the unfunded liability of the LHWCA Special Fund; (2) whether controls exist to prevent inappropriate claims from being referred to the Special Fund; (3) whether recipient data are matched against other agencies' databases to reduce the risk of payments being made to ineligible recipients; (4) whether there are equitable distributions of assessments among the insurance carriers/self-insured employers as compared to their claim levels; and (5) the status of changes to the Longshore computer systems.
GAO noted that: (1) although an estimate of $2.5 billion has been characterized as the potential unfunded liability of the LHWCA Special Fund, this is not a sound actuarial estimate; (2) the Department of Labor (DOL) official who developed this estimate said that he prepared it for discussion purposes; (3) the estimate did not take into consideration expected future revenue from annual assessments, which, according to the official, would eliminate this estimated unfunded liability; (4) while it is theoretically feasible to actuarially calculate the unfunded liability of the Special Fund, the time and expense involved in performing such a calculation may not be warranted, given that: (a) there is no provision under LHWCA for financing the Special Fund with appropriated funds; (b) under LHWCA, neither the United States nor the Secretary of Labor is liable for compensation payments in the amount greater than the money deposited in or belonging to the Special Fund; and (c) participating employers and insurance carriers are now required to disclose their future liabilities related to this fund in the notes to their financial statements, acknowledging that they are responsible for any future liability of this fund; (4) internal controls have been established by DOL to prevent inappropriate cases from being referred to the Special Fund; (5) DOL management had not matched its recipient data in the Special Fund database against data in other agencies' databases; (6) however, DOL's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) officials told GAO that as part of the Special Fund's fiscal year 1999 financial statement audit, the OIG, in cooperation with the Social Security Administration (SSA), would be performing a match of the recipient data in the Special Fund database with SSA's death index to determine whether benefit payments were made to deceased individuals; (7) DOL is susceptible to the risk that the distribution of assessments among participating self-insured employers and insurance carriers will not be proportional to their claim levels as intended by LHWCA; (8) the data used as the basis for computing the annual assessment are self-reported by the self-insured employers and insurance carriers, which increases the risk of inaccurate claim information; and (9) with respect to the Longshore computer systems, DOL officials told GAO that changes to enhance accountability and functionality were planned or had recently been completed.
Status Legend:
- Review Pending
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendations for Executive Action
Recommendation: To reduce the risk of Special Fund payments being made to deceased or otherwise ineligible recipients, the Secretary of Labor should direct the Assistant Secretary for Employment Standards Administration to implement a regular program of matching recipient data from the Special Fund to the SSA's death index. The match should be done monthly, in conjunction with the match of the Black Lung and the Federal Employees Compensation Act recipient data match with the SSA's death index.
Agency Affected: Department of Labor
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: SSA Death Index matches are now done monthly.
Recommendation: To reduce the risk of Special Fund payments being made to deceased or otherwise ineligible recipients, the Secretary of Labor should direct the Assistant Secretary for Employment Standards Administration to develop and implement procedures to adequately monitor the continuing eligiblity of the orphaned cases. The monitoring techniques employed should be similar to those used by self-insured employers and insurance carriers.
Agency Affected: Department of Labor
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOL hired an auditor in August 2000. The auditor's duties include auditing the entitlement of the "orphaned" cases. The auditor is verifying the entitlement of all (500)orphaned beneficiaries on a cycle basis, beginning with the oldest claimants.
Recommendation: To help achieve the intended prorated distribution of assessments among the self-insured employers and insurance carriers, the Secretary of Labor should direct the Assistant Secretary for Employment Standards Administration to develop and implement a more comprehensive plan to expand the DOL's auditing of the LHWCA payment data submitted by self-insured employers and insurance carriers.
Agency Affected: Department of Labor
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOL continues to audit selected carries/self-insurers through their contract audit firm and have put carriers and self-insurers on notice that accurate reporting is a condition of continuing authorization. An experienced senior claims examiner has been assigned to improve the audit process by working with the contract audit firm. In addition, she is working on improving the accuracy of the existing Longshore Case Management System database in order to improve the results of matching the industry Report of Payments with the Program's database of cases. Further, she is more stringently enforcing the existing requirement that employers and carriers support their Reports of Payments with a detailed list of cases. This requirement was reemphasized in a formal Notice issued in January 2001. These efforts improve the reporting, matching, and database accuracy.

Bojangles' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits
"It's BoTime!"
Type | Private |
Industry | Food |
Founded | 1977 |
Founder(s) | Jack Fulk, Richard Thomas |
Headquarters | Charlotte, North Carolina |

Key people | Clifton Rutledge (CEO) |
Products | Fast food, including fried chicken, biscuits |
Owner(s) | Advent International |
Website | www.bojangles.com |
Bojangles' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits is a Southeastern regional chain of quick service restaurants based in Charlotte, North Carolina,[2] specializing in spicy, "Cajun" fried chicken and buttermilk biscuits. The company was founded in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1977 by Jack Fulk and Richard Thomas.
Ownership history[edit]
Jack Fulk sold the Bojangles' concept to the now defunct New York company, The Horn & Hardart Company,[3] in 1981.
During the time of Horn and Hardart's ownership the chain grew rapidly and expanded to 335 restaurants including 100 restaurants in Florida. Part of this growth was fueled by acquisitions including the Florida-based Biskits chain.
In 1990, Horn and Hardart sold most of its interest to Sienna Partners and Interwest Partners. The company was then headed by former KFC executive, Dick Campbell. In 1994 the company attempted a public offering. Dick Campbell was subsequently replaced by CEO Jim Peterson. The company was sold to a group of investors headed by former Wendy's executive Joe Drury and financed by FMAC in 1998.[4]
Bojangles' was purchased once again in 2007 by Falfurrias Capital Partners,[5] a private equity firm. In August 2011, Falfurrias sold Bojangles' to Boston-based Advent International, another private equity firm, led by operating partner Will Kussell, formerly of Dunkin' Donuts.[6]

Chevy revives the 'Stingray' moniker Video
Chevy revives the 'Stingray' moniker Video Transcript
-What's up guys? This is Antoine Goodwin with CNET.com. We're on the floor at the 2013 Detroit Motor Show taking a look at the new Corvette Stingray. That's right. Chevrolet has brought back the Stingray badge for this new Corvette. They think it's that impressive. Now, underneath this hood, we've got a 6.2 liter VA that uses direct injection technology to make 450 horsepower and 450 pound fitted torque. That's how it's gonna exit all of it through the rear wheel by way of a 7th speed manual transmission that uses an interesting active rev matching technology. Sort of like we saw on the Nissan 370Z, so you need to press the clutch and change gears. You're gonna get a little blip from the engine's computer to match the engine speed to the wheel speed for smoother shift sort of the best of both world between a manual gear bots and an automatic transmission. We use of some lightweight technology here in putting a full aluminum frame and carbon fiber on the hood and on the roof, those are both stock features. The point here is to reduce the weight and to keep the center of the mass low for more nimble vehicle. Now we're expecting the new Corvette to go on sale on the 3rd quarter of 2013 and this is probably one of the most highly anticipated cars of the Detroit Motor Show. I'm Antoine Goodwin with CNET.com on the floor in Detroit.

Get inspired to update your kitchen with these five kitchen trends spotted by award-winning interior designers Alexandre Blazys and Benoit Gérard, brought to you by Whirlpool.
White Appliances
White kitchens are timeless, and now you can coordinate your cabinetry and backsplash with the latest glam white appliances. The Jenn-Air® Floating Glass Kitchen Suite blends beautifully with all-white designs.
Natural Tones
Natural materials and warm tones are both in style. Neutral greys, creams and browns work well in traditional and contemporary settings. Durable materials like wood and slate ensure a kitchen that will last. Mix natural woods and stones with complementary stainless steel appliances, like the Jenn-Air® Stainless Steel Kitchen Suite.
Integrated Kitchens
Create a smooth transition between the rest of your home and your kitchen with functional and stylish cabinetry and built-in appliances. Refrigerators like the Jenn-Air® fully flush built-in refrigerator are perfectly concealed for a clean, clutter-free look. A Jenn-Air® built-in wall oven ensures the sleek style continues throughout the kitchen, without sacrificing function.
Mod '60s-Inspired
For this look think of bold geometric shapes, clean lines and straight angles. Keep the focus on kitchen finishes like exotic woods with minimalistic appliances. The Jenn-Air® duct-free downdraft cooktop includes the industry's first duct-free feature — meaning you can easily add a cooktop to your island without needing a hood fan above. Seamless integrations give your kitchen a designer look.
Hosting Centres
Entertain frequently? Dedicate a section of your kitchen for friends to gather around. A quality wine cellar refrigerator displays bottles and keeps the vino perfectly chilled for company. Specialty refrigerators from Jenn-Air® Home Appliances include refrigerator drawers and wine cellars. Invest in an ice machine and proper beverage and glassware storage for the ultimate hosting centre.

Acura NSX Concept( Geoff Robins / AFP/Getty Images )
The concept previews the Acura NSX that the company says it will build within the next three years (in Ohio, no less). It builds on the philosophy established by Acura's 1990-2005 NSX that an optimal power-to-weight ratio is better than just raw power. Like that previous version, this NSX will have a mid-mounted V-6 engine. Power figures haven't been released, but the VTEC engine will feature direct injection and will send power to the rear wheels via a dual-clutch transmission. Full story

2013 bottle. Pours reddish dark brown with thick tan head that dissipates quickly. Smells of spices and grain. Light mouthfeel with fine carbonation. Lots of spices and pepper in the front, hints of celery, raisins, and a slightly hoppy finish in the back of the mouth. Throughout, there is a hint of orange pith. Slightly sticky finish.

Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne
In 1928, a group of Polish musicologists, composers and musicicans founded Towarzystwo Wydawnicze Muzyki Polskiej (TWMP; Polish Music Publishing Society) in Warsaw. Prominent members included Adolf Chybiński, Teodor Zalewski, Tadeusz Ochlewski and Kazimierz Sikorski. By 1934, the firm launched a periodical - Muzyka polska. In April 1945 the assets were transferred to Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne (PWM), based in Kraków, which had been organized earlier by Tadeusz Ochlewski. PWM was the only music publisher operating in Poland for many years after the establishment of the communist regime and was noteworthy for its publication of music from the avant-garde school which arose there in the 1960s. It is also well-known for its critical editions of Polish composers such as Chopin, Moniuszko, Wieniawski and Szymanowski.

We're learning more all the time about how sleep helps us learn and retain information, how it clears the mind and prepares us to learn new things, as well as how it may protect us from the emotional pain of difficult memories.
These two studies are the first to establish a link between OSA and cancer in humans. Previous studies have shown evidence of a relationship between cancer and sleep apnea in mice.

I'm no stranger to focaccia bread. Specifically, foccacia bread with onion and rosemary that was so good I even recommended making it to impress a date (and I promise you won't wind up with onion breath).
I wish I could whole-heartedly recommend Peter Reinhart's recipe but for the strapped-for-time bread baker, I wouldn't suggest anything other than the olive oil dough from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. If you're entertaining, though, this is the bread for you. It makes enough bread to easily feed a crowd, and a hungry crowd, at that.
Peter Reinhart's dough was difficult to manage because there was so much of it. Between each proof, I thought it might outgrow the pan. I had visions of it ballooning in my oven like a big, sticky dough pillow that I would have to untangle from my oven racks….and what kind of photo would that be?Luckily, the bread that emerged from my oven (crisis averted) was crispy and soft in all the right places and was perfect, when served as an appetizer or as a sandwich, stuffed with fresh basil, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese.
Since one of the rules of the Bread Baker's Apprentice challenge is that we don't post the recipes from the book, here are a few recipes that you could try:
Fine Cooking's Basic Focaccia from Peter Reinhart
Bewitching Kitchen's BBA Focaccia
Delish.com's Onion Tomato Focaccia
Cookie Madness' Basic Focaccia

Many do-it-yourselfers take their sweet time when building a theater. Rick Inesta didn't have that luxury. He had wanted an entertainment space in the basement of his home for some time. With guests expected for the holidays, Rick had the fire he needed to ignite his project. "Although the drywall was already hung when we built our house five years ago, I only had about three weeks to complete the entire project before we had guests coming to stay with us for the Thanksgiving holiday," he says. "Trying to get long-lead items like fixtures, flooring and furniture was a challenge."
Rick was up for the challenge—but he also had some help. By day, Rick is a custom home builder (http://www.inesta-homes.com), so he called in a few favors and got his electrician, flooring guys and trim carpenters to help with the details. Rick could then work on the bigger picture: the theater. The end result is a 900-square-foot space featuring a 5.1-channel surround-sound system, Sony PlayStation 3, a 1080p projector and Screen Goo paint to create his 108-inch screen.
Even when the big "screen" isn't buzzing, the room has plenty of entertainment to offer, thanks to a wet bar and a game room with billiards, a poker table and an arcade-style electronic dartboard. If you can't decide which area has the most action, there's a long countertop with bar stools for snacking at the back of the theater. "This helps to partition such a long room into two separate spaces, without putting up a full wall to close the space off," Rick says.
Despite all the entertainment the room has to offer, Rick says one of the best attributes is that his lair doesn't feel like your typical basement. The fact that the room has no ceiling drops for HVAC or plumbing certainly helps, keeping the ceiling out of view during entertaining, movie marathons or a few belts at the bar. Also, the dark colors and custom wood paneling make this a nice cozy area, which gets even cozier with the corner fireplace flickering on cold nights.

Usher in spring with these tender, lemony cupcakes. "It's a recipe from my mother that I spiced up a bit," shares Bertina Johnson from Waynesboro, Virginia.
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 to 3 tablespoons grated lemon peel
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon lemon extract
- 5 to 6 teaspoons 2% milk
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon peel and extracts. Combine flour and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with cream. Beat just until combined.
- Fill paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 325° for 15-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For frosting, in a small bowl, beat shortening until fluffy. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar , extracts and enough milk to reach spreading consistency. Frost cupcakes. Yield: 1 dozen.

Having just got some lemons from our son's home, this will be great. I'm also liking that the recipe yields a dozen cupcakes. Too many times I throw away cupcakes as it's too much for just DH and myself.
Thanks Bertina!!
Reviewed Jan. 16, 2011
The cupcakes were very very dense, and were more like a dry muffin than a moist cupcake. The flavor of the cupcake wasn't bad, but it was too heavy for my liking. The frosting was like an icing, and wasn't very flavorful.

Secure Facilities
Secure facilities are long-term locked confinement facilities for serious and habitual delinquent youths. They are similar to adult prisons.
Facts about Secure Facilities
- Delinquent youth are not sentenced for a specific length of time but their stay is based on the guidelines established by the Youth Parole Authority. The Youth Parole Authority conducts regular progress reviews and determines when the youth can be released.
- Once the Juvenile Court orders a delinquent youth to a Secure Facility, the authority for the youth is transferred to the Youth Parole Authority.
- Unlike the adult correctional system, juveniles placed in Secure Facilities must receive educational and vocational services. Each juvenile must complete an individually designed treatment plan, based on their rehabilitative needs, and complete the court ordered victim restitution, as part of the requirements for release.
- Youth In Custody teachers, employed by the school districts, hold daily classes for youth. Schoolwork finished in secure facilities is credited to the youth's regular academic record.

North Arlington Vikings Boys' basketball is trying to stay injury-free for their big season
Last Thursday, an example of depth for a Group 1 basketball team was on full display.
Without one of its top players, North Arlington dropped its first game of the season, 68-45, at Hasbrouck Heights in the North jersey Interscholastic Conference (NJIC) Meadowlands Division battle.
"We came out flat in the beginning and we were one guy down," said North Arlington head coach Dave Walsh.
The Vikings were without their top inside player, senior A.J. Nocciolo, who injured his hand. Later, North Arlington's top scorer, junior point guard Thai Scott, injured his knee and missed most of the second half.
On Saturday, the Vikings (4-2) got a lesson against state powerhouse Christian Brothers Academy, 82-37, on the road in South Jersey. Nocciolo was back in the lineup and scored a dozen points. "We wanted to play this game for the team to get an idea of the game on the next level," Walsh said about facing a team like CBA.
Nocciolo has been averaging 15 rebounds and 10 points per game. "He's a senior player and he's aggressive," Walsh said about Nocciolo, who was also the quarterback on the North Arlington football team. "He knows the game and he doesn't stop."
Scott is the leading scorer with 18 points on the team and the point guard. "He plays very hard in the game and he always keeps going, but sometimes it is to his detriment," said Walsh referring to Scott's injury.
But it is the team's defense that is the signature for the Vikings. "We're a very good defensive team and we get our offense off our defense," said Walsh.
Along with Nocciolo, the strength of the team is in defense, with junior forward Nick Martin and sophomore forward Jose Checo. "He's long and still learning the game," said Walsh about Checo who has been averaging eight rebounds and three blocks a game. Martin has also been solid inside next to Nocciolo.

This brew pours out as a pretty nice looking deep brownish black color with a fluffy brown head on top. The aromas of sweet chocolate fill your nose right away with a little bit of hops in the far end of the aroma. The taste of the beer was pretty sweet with a light bitterness of dark chocolate in there. The other flavors of roasted malts come through after the swallow. The mouthfeel of the beer was medium to heavy with a smooth texture to it. OVerall I thought this wasn't a bad brew to try.

3.45/5 rDev -3.9%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Poured into my Jackie O's tulip from the bottle.
A - Pours fairly thin, with a very dark, cocoa brown color. Opaque with a half finger of tan head, which lingers for a minute before dissipating.
S - Smell is of thick cocoa powder, with a burnt malt backbone. Has an almost minty coolness to the nose. Not really sure how else to describe it. Kind of weird, but not unpleasant.
T - Aha, so that's the cooling smell! It's the alcohol which, even though it's only 7%, is not hidden well in this one. The initial taste is slightly cocoa with the burnt malts present in the nose almost overpowering. However, after the malts comes the rubbing alcohol-esque taste that is not very appetizing. As it warms, the alcoholic taste fades slightly to give a more milk chocolate character to the beer, and to the aftertaste. This is somewhat redeeming, but not enough to pull this beer all the way back above average.
M - Initially burns a bit around the mouth, but that sensation fades away, leaving a nice creamy feel in the finish. No burning on the way down, despite the alcoholic taste.
O - Overall a solid effort, minus the clear alcohol presence in the taste. One to pick up for sure, but not necessarily one to keep going back to.

3.53/5 rDev -1.7%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
pours a dark brown, building to near-black that glistens with ruby red around the edges. a vigorous pour yields a tepid half-finger cocoa-colored head, and lacing is disappointingly minimal.
aroma of burnt. not sure what, but smells burnt. burnt coffee, cinnamon bark, a hint of cocoa, and some burnt raisins - like the ones that accidentally fall out of the oatmeal-raisin cookies and char to a crunchy crisp on the baking sheet. it smells like those. maybe it's the molasses, but I'm missing the cocoa punch.
taste follows the theme of the evening. a burnt coffee front, with some burnt molasses, finishing with a touch of toasted cocoa. woody and earthy. lacking the real molasses sweetness I was looking for... almost an astringent roasty-saltiness. the lactose takes a back seat, hiding behind the roast and the hop notes. funky. not bad. but funky.
mouth is a bit thin for the style, and certainly too thin to adequately carry the robust dark fruit and char flavors bottled up in here. ample carbonation is almost out of place.
all in all, I had high hopes, and this didn't really come close. not really together like I had hoped. not as full or rich as I wanted. but the flavors are unfortunately there, begging for a thick, rich, luscious mouthfeel that it just kind of falls flat, like a helium balloon a few days past its prime.

No bottle dating, poured into goblet...
A- Deep brownish black with red hues. A small cm of pale khaki head dies to barely film with no lacing.
S- Oh boy... Stale coffee, fusels, tart dark cherries, chalky processed chocolate. Not the most appetizing aroma, as it comes off fabricated and flawed.
T/M- Wtf? Tastes like straight rubbing alcohol on first drink. I guess there is some roasted coffee, but overshadowed by an acrid burnt taste. Some hidden sweet fig, again pushed aside by an intense alcohol flavor. Minimal carbonation on a dull body makes this boring and lifeless on the palate.
O- Anything remotely decent in this beer is overpowered by an off flavor or unpleasant factor. Alcohol presence is just waaay to much like straight ethanol. This is the little beer that could... but didn't

Pours a fizzy darker colored 1/2 finger head that fades semi quickly over pitch black beer.
Nose is dark and malty, dark malts, roasted malts, chocolate malts, some cocoa nib aromas, dark chocolate and creamy milk chocolate, roasted malts bring hints of coffee and mocha, caramel, vanilla, hints of molasses.
Taste starts with dark malts again, this time a bit chalky at first, then some powdered chocolate, a bit of creamy chocolate milk that's watered down, some roasted malts with coffee and mocha, bit of vanilla and caramel, some molasses. Some bitterness as well with just a hint of earthy hops but more on the charred malt bitterness but not very burnt, but there is just a hint of briny taste. Overall the dark malts are dominant and strong, but the overall body and meat of the beer seem to be missing like it's almost watered down but not really. Maybe some oats would have helped. Finishes a bit sticky and somewhat bitter, dark malts lingering with charred malt flavors, syrups, molasses, and hint of baker's chocolate.
Mouth is med bodied and a bit creamy but feels that it should be bigger, with decent carb and no real booze kick.
Overall not bad, nice malt flavors, doesn't get too burnt or briny but the whole mouth and body just feel like it's missing something.

Poured from bottle to pint glass 8/26/2011.
A: Black. Minimal head, and no lacing. Beer almost has the appearance of root beer. Not as 'thick' as i would expect a stout to appear.
S: Coffee. A strange sweetness at the end. Not quite chocolate sweet, but something else.
T: Coffee in the front, followed by a overally roasted 'burnt' taste and then finally that strange sweetness that came through in the smell.
M: As stated in the appearance, this stout is a little thin. Not unpleasant, but completely unexpected for this type of beer.
O: The mouthfeel and sweetness really dominated this beer for me. Wanted to really love this beer, but it was a bit 'off'. Full disclosure, i drank this the same evening as i enjoyed a Founder's Breakfast Stout so my scores may be skewed slightly lower. Hard to compare to that one...

A: Coffee like brown, has a certain shine to it, almost no head and thin lacing.
S: Strong notes of roasted cocoa nibs and powder. Very roasty. A lot of coffee.
T: For a "crazy" chocolate stout, it's full of coffee. Super roasty qualities, some cocoa pebble sweetness. Frankly, it tastes like burnt coffee most of all. One of the most burnt tasting beers I've had.
M: The body is medium, carbonation is decent, but the burnt characteristic carries over here.
O/D: The chocolate isn't as strong as the coffee, but even that factor keeps it at a slightly above average stout.

Bottle picked up at Big Ten party store.
Pours a nice dark, not much head something about it looks troublesome.
Smell is strongly chocolate and cream, but it's also got a Nestle-Qwik smell I can't really shake.
Similar results on the taste, somehow it comes off as slightly false and cloying. Plenty of chocolate though. It has a thick consistency, normally I like it, but here it's more of a clogging sensation.
I don't know, this is a somewhat unusual beer what with the lactose, but it wasn't a beer I really got into. I may give it another try.

brownish black with a light mocha head that raises to 2 fingers, recedes averagely and leaves a bit of lacing behind.
caramel, molasses, and smoke on the aroma with a touch of cocoa powder. not as much chocolate as I expected from the name and description.
chalky cocoa powder is more evident in the flavor though not completely dominant, with caramel and molasses and chocolate milk backing that up and making it rather sweet. roast and bitterness balance that out rather nicely. a touch of a metallic off-flavor and some tart flavors are detectable and slightly detrimental.
barely medium bodied, yet creamy, with a subtle, yet prickly carbonation and a chalky feel left on the palate.
its decent... kind of has an identity crisis. does it want to be sweet or roasty? does it want to be thin or full? does it want to be bitter or sweet? does it want to be chocolaty or milky? it falls short of being balanced because of the detectable off-flavors though if it went one direction or the other it may get past those off qualities. as it is, its a decent brew, but it falls short of many other available options.

Poured from a bottle at 45 degrees into a tulip glass. Date code on the bottle reads "C1".
A: Pours a dark chocolaty brown, almost black, color in the glass. A solid 3-finger mocha head sits on top. Spotty lacing remains as the head recedes.
S: A musty aroma hits the nose first, followed closely by bittersweet cocoa, some booze, and dark fruit. Maybe some molasses. Decent aroma, aside from the mustiness.
T: No mustiness here! Baker's chocolate up front, a good dose of roasty flavors, definite dark fruit, and more booze. Very close in flavor to Sam Smith's Imperial Stout, but more roasty. More dark fruit trails into the finish/aftertaste. Unfortunately, the flavor profile falls apart and gets a bit thinner halfway through the glass, causing this brew to lose some points here.
M: Adequate carbonation, true to style. Mouthfeel is dry.
O: A very good stout. Something I could definitely stand to keep stocked in my beer fridge if it were available in my area. A solid B+ in my book.

Poured from a bottle into a goblet.
Appearance: Pours a cloudy dark brown with a little light coming through at the edges. There is a finger of tan head that goes away and leaves a layer around the edges.
Smell: Mildly sweet and roasty. Hints of chocolate with a strong smell of lactose.
Taste: Quite roasty. The roast covers up most of the flavor of the lactose. There is a strong taste of dark chocolate as well. I'm not picking up a lot of molasses or hardly any sweetness for that matter.
Mouthfeel: The body is on the thin side for this style. The carbonation is a regular amount but fairly smooth. The finish is very mildly dry.
Overall: I would have liked this one to be a bit sweeter and have a thicker body. Overall it wasn't bad, but I don't know that I feel the need to have it again.

Beer poured from bottle into Pint shaped glass
A - Beer pours with a dark brown, almost black, rich textured body; opaque and doesn't appear to have much carbonation coming from the bottom of the glass (mainly because I can't see it); barley any head formed, but what did come up was a dark beige colored head and withered away pretty quickly; some lacing
S - wow, explosive dark chocolate and coffee scents; reminds me of cold drip coffee at the bottom of your mus; dark roasted malt scents; hits my senses immediately and reminds me of a dark chocolaty liquor-based candy; some jam/molasses
T - Drip coffee madness; chocolate richness and flavor; great blend of to of my favorite flavors; deep and full; roasted malt back-end; coffee and chocolate notes coat the back of my throat, mucus and make everything taste of chocolate/coffee during retro-olfaction; sweet
M - Kind of thin; consistent body through out the sip, which is great; I was hoping this would be more silky smooth like Arcadia oatmeal stout; slight oily feel, but mostly watery
D - Great dessert drink; full of rich dark flavors and sweet too; needs to rid itself of the drip coffee taste and feel I get; should get a richer and deeper espresso taste to it; still comes well-recommended from me

A: Pours very dark brown, almost black, with a small foamy tan head that dissipates down to only a near covering. Head should be more prominent for this style
S: Strong amounts of chocolate with less predominate coffee/espresso flavors. The roasted grain seems to be covered pretty well by the large amounts of lactose. There is a nice amount of bitterness from the cocoa nibs.
T: It has a very smooth draw from the lactose and chocolate; There seems to be a perfect balance between the two. With the addition of all these sweet ingredients they come out very mellow and mild in the end. It finished off with a spicy bitterness.
M: Full-bodied in the mouth, but goes down fairly light-medium. Carbonation is a little underdone, especially for this style.
O: Very smooth and tasty beer. It seems to fit more into the the Sweet Stout (13B) category than the American Stout category. A little more carbonation would bring this into the next level of greatness.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a New Holland pint glass
Pours black with a drawn out cascade effect. Thick and pillowy dark tan head. Seems coarse and has good head retention.
Smells of Hershey's cocoa powder with a mix of toffee and vanilla. It's loaded with sweet malts with hints of lactose sugar to boot. The milky sweetness gives way to a bitter finish that balances out the chocolaty sweetness.
The taste precisely mirrors the smell. A heavy dose of cocoa powder followed by some lactose sugar. Plenty of sweetness that is rounded out by some bitterness.
The mouthfeel is thin. Not as much creaminess as I would like in a stout that's dominated by chocolate and lactose. Light carbonation. Goes down very smooth and is easy drinking.
Overall this is a darned tasty chocolate stout. Not as bold or thick as most others which makes it easier to drink, yet sacrifices thickness and creaminess. Has a fantastic and distinct cocoa aroma. This makes for a fantastic dessert beer.

A - Opaque black with brown notes. Creamy looking one finger mocha head that slowly dies down a thin film on top. Decent lacing that splotches slowly down the sides and leaves a trail of mocha goodness.
S - First and foremost, there is a lot of that lactose and mocha backed up by milk chocolate, a solid roastiness, leather and caramel sweetness. This smells pretty good, but the overall aroma is a little on the low side.
T - The chocolate is really well done - comes in waves beginning with sweet milk chocolate, to a charred roast + mocha, then some cocoa which is dark and dry. The roast and dryness hang around for the whole taste while there is some plum, molasses, root beer and leather in the middle, but overall this is pretty boring once the chocolate has exited the taste buds.
M - Too thin, low carbonation. The mouthfeel starts off creamy, has a little tingle on the tongue, then just falls away. It's miserably thin...
O - I think a richer mouthfeel could have saved this - would have helped that chocolate hang around and really pop, but it doesn't deliver.

Black beer with dark brown head.
Nose: roasted coffee moreso than chocolate.
Middle: It starts out coffe as the ale goes down the throat and it quickly turns to chocolate. Taste exactly like I expected it too, damn good. There are coffee and chocolate flavors as the name suggests. Everything I expected and I dont know if that's a good thing of a bad thing.
Finish is primarily chocolatly and a tad dry.
Overall pretty good. Right in the middle between a highly-drinkable session ale and a slow sipper.

The third beer this evening for me was the Arcadia Cocoa Loco...and yes there is not question that chocolate was used to brew this beer. The color was absolutely dark with virtually no head. The smell was very chocolately and sweet....like molassis. The taste was very heavy...almost like a sweet liquior. Definite chocolate (semi-sweet) with molassis. Very rich...plenty of body...just too sweet for my taste. The mouthfeel was tough because of the sweetness...not enough balance.

A hard pour into a standard US pint glass produces a huge head (note to self: pour a bit more gently next time) of dark brown, fairly dense foam. This recedes within a few minutes so that you can look at your beer proper. Totally opaque, dark brown or black in color. In light, gives off some dark ruby red hues. Adequate lacing from the head's declension, individual sips...not so much.
Dominant scents of chocolate syrup (or cocoa powder), mocha, chocolate milk, and molasses. A bit of ethanol in the background. This is kind of like the beer equivalent of Kahlua or Bailey's.
Big chocolate tastes upfront, fades to a roasted/charred barley/coffee ground flavor in the finish. Just enough hops to add some balance, mostly lurking in the far back. Alcohol is there, too, providing a gentle burn in the back (more noticeable with beer warmth). Trying this beer after a piece of milk chocolate, I can say the stout has a definite alcohol bite to it, is less sugary, but also features a distinct burnt or smoky flavor that is not present otherwise.
Mouthfeel is a bit thinner than expected, about medium heavy. Carbonation is fairly middle of the road, too, nothing aggressive, but still noticeable. A "gentle" mouthfeel, I would call it. The finish is surprisingly dry, given what seems to be a small amount of hops used. Would have liked a bigger body and perhaps a bit more carbonation.
While drinking this, I find myself thinking that this is what the original "chocolate beverage" of native peoples could have tasted like. Sort of. While you can call this a stout, it's almost like it's own style of that genre: the super-chocolaty stout. The flavor is big enough to make this a sipper (and the alcohol level is just about there, too). If you enjoy chocolate, or chocolate-tasting beverages, you should check this one out. I know I'll be returning to it.

This pours slate black with just a little bit of light through at the edges. The head is two fingers, espresso crema colored, with a little lace. On the nose there is a great combination of ultra-rich chocolate, a huge molasses note, a slightly sour lactose note, a dark roasted malts. To me the only fault is that the lactose might be a step ahead of where it ought to be in the balance. In the mouth all of the parts of the nose are apparent on various parts of the tongue, with the lactose hanging in the background until a long finish leaves it as the last thing on the tongue. The body is medium light, much lighter than I'd have expected based on the nose and pour, and while it's not bad to the point of distraction, it's definitely short on body. Overall, this is a good beer that I might classify as a milk stout due to the lactose, which is just on the safe side of enjoyable for me.

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a beer mug.
Appearance: Pours a dark brown which ends up as nearly-opaque in the glass. Head is medium-dark tan color which recedes leaving interesting bubbly lacing. Not a bad start.
Smell: My first thought is, "They had a problem covering up the alcohol." Really? At only 7% ABV? That's my first thought? There is certainly some mocha flavor in there somewhere, but I'm not impressed.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Beer is fairly watery for a "stout." Medium carbonation reveals nothing but a real rubbing alcohol flavor. Sour in all the wrong ways, and almost no chocolate nor coffee in the taste. Aftertaste is all alcohol.
Overall: Fairly disappointed in this brew. It's drinkable (as in, I'm *going* to drink it), but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Perhaps my opinion is swayed because I had an RIS to precede this one...but seriously...beer is supposed to taste good no matter when you drink it, and this just isn't hitting the spot.

I was just in the Bahamas in March, at a place Royal Caribbean cruises calls Coco Cay, where they sold drinks called Coco Loco for $8 (plus gratuity). This ain't nothing like that. But it would have been nicer to have this.
It's one of those clean stouts with a lot going on. Clean means a neat balance of malt, hops (weak here, but appropriately), etc. It has the chocolate flavor, but not at all too strong - I could take more.
I am more likely to go on the same cruise than buy this again, but the cruise would have been better had they had this brew.

A: pours a black shade, not very viscous and produces a meager amount of light brown head which quickly recedes to
S: very sweet, slightly roast malt but it's mostly dominated by chocolate and hints of coffee

M: smooth and silky but a touch light with slightly prickly carbonation.
O: not bad, it's a bit of an oddity of sorts as some of the flavors are really indescribable but the complexity is there. It's probably a bit too outside the box for a lot of people and I wouldn't consider it sessionable. Not bad but not great either but if you want to try something a bit different this one wouldn't be bad to give a shot.

A bit apprehensive of trying these arcadia ales with this much age on them. 7% is a touch iffy.
Opens with a strong "pppshh" and pours a nice tall tan head. Solid legs on this and especially good at 7%. This beer seems a bit thicker than the 7% would indicate.
The aroma is that of sour. This reminds me a lot of the big dick ale I have had recently. My fear is this is a sign the beers have gone bad, but part of me feels this flavor is too similar. Perhaps a similar yeast or something along those lines. There is a faint coco finish to indicate that this is a stout after all.
A sweet/sour strong sour ale like malt opens this beer. Followed by subtle coco and faint chocolate malt. I don't pick up on any lactose effects or the molasses that's supposed to be in this one. After heating the beer up running hot water against the glass, the beer has taken on some more stout like characteristics. An almost sickeningly sweet malt mixes with cocoa flavors that aren't strong or bitter enough to even try and balance things out. No burnt malt flavors what so ever leaves this beer impressively unenjoyable. I can't imagine this was ever a good beer, there just aren't even remnants of one remaining.
This is a drain pour without question. I want to try this fresh but it seems all I see lately are 3-5 year old bottles of Arcadia's beers and they are showing up new to the stores. I have no idea if there's some weird issue with Kentucky's distribution chains or what. Either way I'm skeptical to blame this beer completely on the age considering all their beers seem to give off this odd flavor.

Our dogs for several years now receive their Bordatella
shots and we are told they are good for one year. Then we take them to our vet (for any reason) and are told that they can not see them unless they are given an updated Bordatella shot since the shots are only good for six months.
Would you please explain what this is all about?

The best thing Apple could do right now would be to release a Windows version of their SDK but the odds of that happening seem slim. Google going open source with Android and an SDK that anyone can develop with, on their existing computer, will probably create an Apps explosion that will ultimately outpace iPhones lead. The only things really holding Android back from doing some really cool tricks IMO is that the USB drivers are incomplete and the lack of an IR interface.
The iPhone may have the lead and but ultimately requiring an Apple to develop for the iPhone and being tethered to AT&T another year while Android rapidly expands will be their undoing.

Yuma was dead. Of that much, the group of killers could be certain. However, perhaps he had been left alone for too long... He had gotten too close to one of the other duelists, thereby lessening the effectiveness of that person…
Tron had plans for Ryoga Kamishiro, and intended to use the boy as an assassin in a plot for revenge. However, after Yuma had changed Ryoga and lessened the hatred in his heart, that plan had become derailed. There was no longer any use for Ryoga to live any longer.
Ryoga desperately wanted to find out who was behind Yuma's death. It was the least he could do, after everything Yuma had done for him. He was willing to kill for the sake of bringing some right to this wrong, and that resolve wouldn't be shaken.
Knowing who Ryoga's resolve would be aimed at, allowing him to live for much longer would be an incredibly dangerous risk.
From her hospital room, Rio Kamishiro thought she could vaguely hear a scream… it couldn't be her brother…
It is now Day 8. This phase will end at 10:00 pm on August 16th, Eastern Time. You may now vote.

Hello :)
I ran into a problem on my wp8 yesterday and had to restore back to factory settings. It's a fairly new phone so I only had 2 albums on it, bought from the Xbox music store. When I turned it back on and went into the music app, it only downloaded half the songs from both albums. Now I can't download the rest.
If I go to one of the albums in the music store, it only says "In collection" for the songs on my phone, the rest says "buy". But when I click buy it says "Music already in collection, buy anyway?" (I translate from danish, so I'm not sure if that is the precise translation).
Has anyone else had the same experience? What can I do?
Btw. It happened yesterday when the store was down, so maybe that is the reason why only half the songs were downloaded.
Hope someone can help :)

Have you tried deleting the albums and re-downloading them?

MORGANTOWN — Having been in the business of covering sports and athletics for well over 35 years now, I can recall only once when I felt it prudent or at all necessary to drop what I was doing and fly off to some distant outpost to chronicle the doings of conference presidents and athletic directors.
It was mid-May of 2003 and the Big East seemed on the verge of if not collapse, then at least drastic reconfiguration. With John Swofford and the ACC ready to pluck Miami and any of a handful of others who felt the need to follow, I went to Ponte Vedra Beach for the Big East's annual spring meetings.
It was, as it turned out, a wise decision. Looking back, it was the beginning of the end of the Big East as we knew it.
Fast-forward nine years and West Virginia is a newcomer to the Big 12, which will hold its annual spring meetings in Kansas City beginning on Wednesday. Once again, news of potential conference-switching is all the rage, this time with Swofford and the ACC as possible victims.
Don't expect any hammers to drop this week, though. I certainly don't, which is why Ponte Vedra '03 will remain for another year as my only excursion to such an event.
Big news from the Big 12 this week? Never rule it out. The fact of the matter is, though, that landscape-changing deals tend not to come from formal, organized get-togethers but from behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing.
In other words, Florida State or Clemson or Notre Dame aren't on the agenda. They aren't going to show up with their resumes in hand. The Big 12 isn't going to become the Big Twelve this week.
Nor is there likely to be much movement on the still-in-theory $1.3 billion contract extension with ESPN.
No, this is more likely to be the week where a lot of hands are shaken, where West Virginia and TCU get into the nitty-gritty of how things are done in their new league and where some golf is played and food is served.
Truth is, there are a lot of things that have to be done when a league subtracts two members and adds two more. But they are boring things.
The fact is, the biggest news to come from the conference has already been made. It was that agreement with the SEC to pair up and take control of at least one high-profile bowl game. But as we pointed out last week, even the significance of that is up for debate.
I couldn't help but notice the Big East's semi-official reaction to the announcement of the Big 12-SEC Champions Bowl (working name only). I wasn't really convinced of how significant the development of the game might be until is saw WVU's former league shrug it off.
