Before the summer of 1984, I'd never thought of Los Angeles as a cohesive city. To me it was a series of disconnected neighborhoods: the one I grew up in, the two I went to school in, the ones I had friends in. But that summer, thanks to the design genius of architect Jon Jerde and the organizational vision of businessman Peter Ueberroth, Los Angeles felt whole... Read

Water Well Testing at a Pizza Hut
The World > North America > USA > California > Los Angeles
Testing the capacity of the shallow groundwater aquifer. There used to be a gas station on this corner where the Pizza Hut is now. The gas station's underground storage tanks had leaked and contaminated the soil and groundwater underground. In order to remove gasoline from the soil, 12 pvc pipes were installed vertically to variou depths (10 to 30 feet below the surface). The gasoline laden soil vapor is extracted by a pump and the gasoline filtered out by activated charcoal. In order to expose more soil to the applied vaccum, water is pumped out of the deeper wells to lower the water table. But first you have to find out how much water is needed to be pumped out to achieve the desired drawdown of the groundwater table which normally only 10 feet below the surface.

Overview and History
Alllllrightie now, here's your soundtrack. Please click on "Hollywood" before you make another move. "LA Woman" is next up on your playlist.
Quick math lesson:
"If you've got it, flaunt it. If you don't got it, invent it and then flaunt it."
Los Angeles is the second biggest city in the USA, it's in Southern California where you can go surfing or snowboarding whenever you want, and it means "City of Angels."
LA was first named in 1781 by a Spanish governor who called it "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de la Porciuncula", which means you need to go back to Spanish class.
I mean, "The Village of our Lady the Queen of the Angels of Porziuncula." (The Porzincula part refers to a chapel in Italy dating back to the fourth century AD, not a native American tribe or anything local.)
Mexico inherited Los Angeles when it won its independence from Spanish rule in 1821. Twenty-five years later LA became part of the United States territory in the treaty that ended the Mexican-American War. California became a state of the US soon after, and LA started getting excited for the arrival of Jim Morrison and the Doors.
Railroads laid track to LA in 1876, which was very convenient for transporting the oil supply which was discovered in 1892 and Pow! The economy took off. With that, the population exploded, everybody ran out of water, you know, the usual story.
Now that I think about it, LA has documented this story in a TV series called "The Beverly Hillbilles." Just watch the opening credits and you'll get the whole concept. This was one of the longest-running and most popular TV shows ever made in the States, which is why most Americans will think "swimming pools... movie stars..." when you say "Callyfurnia."
And LA is where the TV and movies come from, specifically Hollywood, or Tinseltown, in the Hollywood Hills. This is where it all comes from, dancing pictures across the silver screen! If you've watched American TV, you've seen it. Here's the Bat Cave from "Batman".
The first movie made in Hollywood dates to 1910, ("In Old California") and the first western TV station began broadcasting there in 1947.
Oh, by the way, LA sits on the San Andreas geologic fault line. Fault lines are prone to earthquakes, and everybody expects LA to fall into the ocean someday.
Getting There
As soon as the wheels touch the ground, the cellphones flip open and you start overhearing people loudly telling everyone what their next appointment is. That's how you know you're in LA. The phone doesn't even have to be on.
LAX is the main airport where it all goes down. Shuttle buses connect the airport to the city's Metro Green Line.
LA is a driving city; you need a car so you have a place to sit while you are waiting in traffic. Worst traffic jams and road rage on earth.
Contrary to popular belief, they actually do have a public transportation system with buses and a metro and everything in LA. Fares cost $1.25 for a single ride, $5.00 for a day pass, if you're interested. See, the thing is you need a window you can roll down to flip people the bird.
Visit the LA Union Station just to see one of the last great railway stations, as it's known.
People and Culture
Rock and roll! Do you know what that means? That means you can do whatever the hell you want, really loud, and it should probably bounce up and down at some point... sort of like the Baroque Period, but instead of gold you can use neon and breast implants too. They both bounce a lot better than gold, anyway.
Charles Mingus, The Doors, The Mothers of Invention, Guns N' Roses, Public Enemy, N.W.A, Snoop Dogg
These people did not get there by asking anyone else for permission, see what I'm saying? Dr. Dre's classic album "The Chronic" will instruct you in everything else you need to know about L.A.
Famous L.A. writers who did the same thing but on paper: Charles Bukowski, Raymond Chandler, John Fante.
Q:How do you say, "F--- You" in LA?
A: "Call me."
Things to do & Recommendations
Disneyland is a massively popular vacation destination, especially for people with children. Walt Disney was the pioneer of animation who created Mickey Mouse, Bambi, Cinderalla and some interesting WWII training films.
Architecture: Disney's Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry. For more architecture, look up the architect Frank Lloyd Wright and visit some of the residences he built.
For some of the artistic flavor of LA, you can do lunch at Casbah Cafe on Sunset Boulevard, and catch some live jazz at Spazio.
Absorb the genius of Diego Rivera in the LA County Museum of Art, and then ask yourself how you will do something to keep up with him and Batman. Thank you L.A.!

Auburn softball sweeps Aggies to secure spot in SEC tourney
Monday, April 28, 2014 12:11 AM EDT
Monday, April 28, 2014 12:19 AM EDT
From the Auburn University Athletics Department:
AUBURN, Ala. –
The No. 22/22 Auburn softball team made quick work of the No. 23/23 Texas A&M Aggies on Sunday, winning in five innings, 9-1, to not only secure the sweep, but to also secure its berth in the SEC Tournament field on Senior Day.
Auburn got another great outing in the circle from sophomore Marcy Harper, who won her 17
game of the year, while junior Branndi Melero blasted two home runs in the game, totaling five RBIs. After the game, seniors Hilary Mavromat, Kristyn Richards and Maris Medina were honored as the departing seniors in their final home game at Jane B. Moore field.
"We talked about how to play going back to August," Auburn head coach Clint Myers said. "This is the first time we've been able to do it. We've been able to beat a good Texas A&M club three times with great athletes. They never stopped competing, they never stopped trying. They go out there and play their hearts out. That speaks volumes for what we were able to do."
Melero's performance on Sunday was only a taste of what she had done all weekend against Texas A&M. In all three games combined, Melero was 7-for-12 (.583) with three home runs, two on Sunday and eight RBI. She is now tied for the team-lead in home runs (15) with freshman Kasey Cooper and puts her only two home runs away from tying the single-season school record for home runs in a season. Her 74 RBI continues to also lead the team and the conference. Melero came out of Sunday's game 3-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI. The RBI and home runs both tie a career-high.
"Branndi has done it all year long," Myers said. "She's been very consistent with it. We've just got to keep her hitting in our lineup, seeing the ball and swinging the bat because when she's locked in she is phenomenal. It's difficult to get her out and she can hurt you in so many ways. She's been a big part of the reason for our success."
Defensively, Harper has started playing her best softball in the circle, throwing complete games in three of her last four starts. With wins over Alabama last week and two against Texas A&M this week, Harper has accumulated a 3.74 ERA with 10 complete games and 118 strikeouts.
"Marcy got the ball today because she pitched so dog-gone good yesterday," Myers said. "She backed it up. It was her last inning in the fifth, she was only going to go five. It's been a long time since she pitched back-to-back days. She had two phenomenal days, pitched very well the first game and came in to finish this one off. We're getting good pitching in the circle and that's a good thing. If we can keep that up we're looking to good things in the future."
The series sweep of Texas A&M on Sunday was Auburn's first conference series sweep of the year and first conference series sweep since 2012. Overall, Auburn is now 38-14-1 on the year and 10-11 in SEC play.
The Tigers got on the board early Sunday as Melero hit her first home run of the game in the first inning after Cooper reached on a one-out walk. The long ball put Auburn up 2-0 in the early going.
The Orange and Blue bats continued to roll into the second inning as sophomore Kelsey Bogaards led off the inning with a bunt single. She was later replaced at first by Tiffany Howard, who reached on a fielder's choice. Back to the top of the lineup, sophomore Emily Carosone notched her first hit of the game, a single to advance Howard to third. In the next at-bat, Cooper delivered with her eighth double of the year, plating Howard to make it 3-0.
Coming to the plate for only the second time in the game, Melero found herself in good position to add to her RBI total with two runners on in the second. On a 3-1 count, Melero pummeled one into deep right field, clearing the bases to push Auburn ahead even further at 6-0.
The Tigers inched closer to that run-rule limit as they scored their seventh run of the game in the bottom of the third after Howard laced her second extra base-hit of the year to deep left-center field, setting the table for Carosone. Once again, with runners in scoring position, Auburn came through as Carosone singled to left-center, giving the speedy Howard plenty of time to score and make it a 7-0 advantage.
Carosone finished the game 3-for-4 with two runs scored and one RBI as she homered later in the game for the seventh time this year. The three hits were also a season-high for her.
Texas A&M tried to mount a comeback after getting a solo home run from Cassie Tysarczyk in the fourth, but the amount of runs was too much as Auburn came away the 9-1 victors.
"We had 12 hits in the game, some good at bats phenomenal pitching and we played very good defense," Myers said. "If we can continue that we're going to be successful. We have to do well in the circle, play well behind defensively and we had that all weekend long. If that's a good indication of what's about to come we've talked about playing our best softball at the end and well we're getting better at the end."
Auburn goes on the road for its final series of the year as it will go to Columbia, S.C. to face the Gamecocks of the University of South Carolina for a three-game set. The series is slated to start on Friday, May 2 at 6 p.m.

The cost of beef is expected to go up this summer about ten percent, but beef officials said the increase to the consumer is necessary.
Retail beef prices have risen steadily over the past two years. But the most recent spike is because of last year's drought, driving up cattle feed prices and shrinking the average size of cattle herds.
Jeff Stolle, Vice President of Marketing at Nebraska Cattle Association said the in-store price spike is not a choice. Even with the added costs, the cattle industry is just breaking even.
"The overall effect on the cattle industry of these price levels has not been nearly as positive as one might think when you walk by the beef counter and see the prices on the product," Stolle said.
There have been signs of weakening demand for beef.
Glen Lacy, President of Skeeter Barnes, said beef's rivals, chicken and pork, are proving to be tough competitors with more attractive price tags.
"We're seeing people trading to a lesser priced menu item, an item more cost effective," Lacy said.
Jeff Bruce, meat director at B&R, which owns Super Saver and Russ's said they haven't had to raise prices. But he said stocking up on beef couldn't hurt.
"It's always a good idea," Bruce said. "I would encourage anyone to stock up on those I know I do it myself because you just never know where it'll be in three months down the road. So if you see a good deal and got a freezer, just take advantage of it."
The ten percent increase isn't guaranteed, but we could see it as soon as March or April.

The Audit Process
Short- and long-term risk-based audit plans are developed by the Office of Internal Audit Services and approved by the Audit Committee of Brown's Corporation. An audit or review may also be included in the audit plan based on requests and input from management or other sources. In most cases, the head of the department or area being audited is informed in advance that an audit is scheduled. However, in some cases, to meet the objectives of the review or audit, an audit may be conducted on a "surprise" basis.
During the planning phase, meetings are held for members of the audit team to meet with department members and other stakeholders to gather information and perform a preliminary review of the operation being audited. Information that may be requested includes organization charts, documented policies and procedures, and pertinent contracts and agreements.
Also during the planning phase, key risks are identified, and a preliminary assessment of the adequacy of existing controls in relation to the risks associated with the department or function, is performed. Audit objectives are also further refined and communicated to management during this phase of the audit, and an audit program is developed. An audit program identifies the audit testing that will be performed in order to test the effectiveness of the controls and to assess if the controls are operating as intended. The audit program may be adjusted to expand, eliminate, or otherwise adjust test work as the audit progresses.
During the fieldwork phase, the audit program is completed. Some of the audit steps that may be included on the audit program are testing records for accuracy, and tracing a sample of transactions through the University function, activity, department or unit under review.
Throughout this stage of the review, the audit team keeps the relevant managers or staff members, as appropriate, apprised of observations as they are discovered, and inquire of management how issues will be addressed. Occasionally, based on the seriousness of an observation, an issue may be brought to the attention of the appropriate senior officer(s) within the University.
At the conclusion of the audit, exit conferences are held with appropriate University/department management, and the results of the audit work are presented in a draft audit report for discussion purposes. The draft report will include recommendations, and request management's response to addressing the issues raised in the draft report.
The final version of the audit report will incorporate management's responses, and is typically distributed to the Audit Committee, to the senior officer(s) responsible for the operation or function reported upon, and others (e.g., University external auditor) as appropriate.
Follow up
After a reasonable amount of time has passed, follow up may be performed to determine the status of actions outlined in the management's response(s) section(s) of the final audit report. The follow up may occur through a formal follow up audit, or less formally through inquiry with management. In situations where a formal follow up audit is performed, an audit report will be issued at the audit's conclusion. The same draft and final audit report distribution processes apply for follow up audits.

Many have asked, so here's the answer: Chipper is an easy first-ballot Hall of Famer. Easy. In fact, it'd be inexcusable to not vote for him.↵— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) March 23, 2012
It was inexcusable to not vote for Ron Santo, too. In 1980, his first year of eligibility, 370 of 385 BBWAA voters did not vote for him. With these things, inexcusable is just an opinion.↵

Chiefs fan and AP reader Kyle sends in a joke
Tony Romo runs into Tamba Hali in a bar the night before the game. Romo asks Hali, "Why do Chiefs wear red?" Hali replies, to hide the blood stains from hitting our opponents QB so hard." Romo gets up to leave and Hali asks him where he's going. Romo replies, "To get my brown pants."OK that was pretty funny. Well done Kyle!

MONDAY, Sept. 30 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved the first drug to be used before the surgical treatment of breast cancer.
Perjeta (pertuzumab), which was granted accelerated approval by the FDA, is already used to treat breast cancer in its advanced stages. This is the first time that women with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancers -- a typically aggressive form of tumor -- will have the chance to start treatment with something other than surgery, the agency said.
The hope is that pre-surgical treatment could result in less invasive surgeries and improved survival rates. Typically, surgery has been the first step in breast cancer treatment.
"We are seeing a significant shift in the treatment paradigm for early-stage breast cancer," Dr. Richard Pazdur, director of the Office of Hematology and Oncology Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in an agency statement released Monday. "By making effective therapies available to high-risk patients in the earliest disease setting, we may delay or prevent cancer recurrences.''
An FDA advisory panel had voted unanimously earlier this month to recommend approval of broader use of the drug. An agency report had said the drug looked promising in trials, but added that drug-related cardiac concerns required additional research.
Perjeta is made by Roche Group's Genentech division; accelerated approvals usually are given to drugs that haven't been thoroughly tested but show promising results in early trials.
Members of the advisory panel that voted on Perjeta earlier this month had insisted at the time that Genentech carry out more trials to ensure the drug will enable breast cancer patients to live longer, healthier lives.
At the time, cancer specialists welcomed the news.
"This is tremendously exciting," said Dr. Amy Tiersten, associate professor in the division of hematology and medical oncology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.
"Pertuzumab was FDA approved in 2012 for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer when it was shown that it improved survival when added to standard regimens for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer," Tiersten said. Metastatic breast cancer is cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
"But the really exciting information is when this can be translated into earlier stages of disease, where we can completely eradicate the disease and cure more women," she said.
The trial the panel vote was based on showed that when Perjeta was added to standard pre-surgical regimens for HER2-positive breast cancer, the chance of finding no cancer after the treatment was nearly doubled, Tiersten said.
Women who have chemotherapy before surgery and who achieve complete remission -- no cancer at the time of breast surgery -- have a much greater chance of being completely cured of their disease, she said.
Dr. Aye Moe Thu Ma, an attending physician in breast surgical oncology with St. Luke's and Roosevelt Hospitals in New York City, also voiced enthusiasm at the time.
"We currently have limited options for [first-step] treatment of breast cancer," Ma said. "I'm excited that this may provide a more specific treatment for people with HER2-positive cancer."
This means women may be able to keep their breasts because the tumor size is reduced before surgery, and some women may prefer this, she added.
Both short- and long-term side effects will need to be examined to fully evaluate risks and benefits of this medication if it is approved, Ma added.
Perjeta is one of many newer biologic agents used to treat breast cancer. "These biologic, or 'targeted,' treatments work on breast cancer cells in a more specific way than some older treatments, so there are many fewer casualties to normal cells, translating into many fewer side effects for our patients," Tiersten explained.
More than 4,800 women are enrolled in a "confirmatory" trial that will provide further data on efficacy, safety and long-term outcomes, the FDA said. Those results are expected in 2016, according to the agency.
About one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.
According to the Mayo Clinic, HER2-positive breast cancer is a breast cancer driven by a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), which promotes the growth of cancer cells.
HER2-positive breast cancers typically are more aggressive than other types of breast cancer. But there are effective drug treatments, including trastuzumab (Herceptin) and lapatinib (Tykerb). Both drugs can produce side effects, including congestive heart failure, according to the Mayo Clinic.

The City Council weighed a tough financial decision Tuesday: Whether to dole out nearly $33 million to settle separate lawsuits. They OK'ed multi-million dollar settlements in two police misconduct cases.
The first case is of Christina Eilman, a 27-year-old California woman who was arrested in 2006 at Midway Airport after she had a bipolar breakdown and caused a disturbance.
SEE: Chicago to settle mentally ill woman's lawsuit for $22M
Police heedlessly released her the next day into a section of the South Side that a federal judge compared to the Lion's Den at Brookfield Zoo. She was only wearing short shorts and a cut-off top in the high-crime area.
The then 21-year-old was raped in a now-demolished CHA high-rise. Afterward, she fell seven stories from the building and subsequently suffered a permanent brain injury.
"As I sit here today, I'm both embarrassed and ashamed. I'm embarrassed to think that a poor girl like this would have been so callously treated by members of the Chicago Police Department," Ald. Ed Burke (14th) said.
Eilman likely will never recover from the monstrous attack and the injuries she sustained. Her parents oversee the former UCLA student's care in California. But Eilman herself is not insured.
The city proposed a $22.5 million settlement to her family, which a unanimous City Council Finance Committee approved.
While acknowledging that Eilman was horribly mistreated, 3rd ward Ald. Pat Dowell took issue with the federal judge's written comparison of the Robert Taylor homes to a lion's cage in a zoo.
"I think that comparing a community to animals is inappropriate," Ald. Dowell said. "It could have been another way to say that. And while I agree with the settlement, I think the crime was atrocious, I think the behavior of the officers leaves much to be desired. I take exception with the language used by the court in describing the community in which it happened."
Their comments were made the Tuesday morning meeting of the City Council Finance Committee.
The other case in question is that of Alton Logan, who spent 26 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. He was wrongfully convicted of murder in 1983.
SEE: City to pay $10.2M in another Burge misconduct case
Another man had confessed, but that stayed hidden for decades because of attorney client privilege.
After Logan was ruled innocent in 2008, he sued City Hall. He claimed infamous former Police commander Jon Burge concealed key evidence pointing to serial murderer Andrew Wilson as the real killer in the crime for which Logan was convicted.
Mayor Emanuel proposed a $10.2 million settlement for Logan, which he and lawyer Jon Loevy will split. But, Logan was in no mood to celebrate Tuesday.
"The police or the prosecutors..they don't care who they get, as long as they get someone," Logan said.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

The Phase Three delivery in January and February of our Aviva Premiership Rugby Schools Programme will focus on schools in High Wycombe, Marlow and Windsor at the Key Stage Two of learning.
What is the Aviva Premiership Rugby Schools Programme?
Aviva Premiership Rugby's key legacy project, the Aviva Schools Programme, kicked off its third season in September 2012. The Programme, which comes with a £2m investment from Aviva, is an initiative which introduces more than 39,000 young people each season to rugby union through tag rugby, creating a vibrant and effective rugby legacy in England.
This scheme targets new-to-rugby, non-traditional rugby schools. It provides five weeks of coaching and teacher training, grassroots club links, plus resources for the school to continue to play rugby in the future. The Aviva Premiership Rugby Schools Programme is aimed at Key Stage 2 pupils. Each Premiership Rugby club will work with two classes at 50 schools.
Programme Coordinator Ben Smiley told wasps.co.uk, "The Aviva Premiership Rugby Schools Programme has enabled us to engage with hundreds of children, and provide them with an introduction to their local rugby club. We hope that this commitment from Aviva will help to improve the strength and depth of grassroots rugby within our Community; and nationally."
Sarah Loughran, Head of Corporate Sponsorship at Aviva added; "Key for Aviva was the ability for us to be able to deliver a sustainable legacy as part of the partnership that we have with Premiership Rugby. In the delivery of the Aviva Schools Programme we are seeing lasting results through 1200 teachers each year continuing to be able to teach Tag in their schools and so hopefully inspire the next generation of rugby players to take up the sport whilst impacting over 40,000 children each season."
If you would like your school to get involved in the London Wasps' Schools Coaching Programme, please contact us here.

Aroma is nice and sweet, bready with some dark brown sugar. Poured more of a dark amber color, thin head and minimal lacing. Light to medium mouthfeel, clean finish. Flavor is essentially a nice helping of sweet malt with a slight bitterness in the end. Decent dunkel, really enjoyed this one.

I purchased this one for a really cheap price and it looked pretty interesting. Unfortunately, looks can be deceiving. It pours a nice, Carmel colored beer with small head and no lacing. But that's where this stops being a "dark" beer. The taste is overly perfumed and malty. After three sips I'm about ready to dump this out...and I almost NEVER do that with a beer because that's sacrilegious. There's also a slight hint of raisin and the beer leaves a horrible mouth feel. And what this? 3.8% abv? 3.8% ABV?!?!?! Who the heck would want to drink that? I'm pouring this watered down fizzy brown stuff out.

Had one last night, and overall, I wasn't incredibly impressed. I've had many fine Czech beers before, and I had hoped this to be on par with the others. The 'dark' only applies to the color, a deep-amber/brown with golden hilights. It's deceiving, and doesn't taste or feel nearly as substantial as it looks. It has a watered-down texture, not nearly as heavy as you want it to be. The taste has hints of caramel and nuts, that kick in moreso in the aftertaste. Goes down smooth, but it doesn't leave me with the satisfication that I really want in a beer. It's okay, definitely above average, but not great in my opinion.

1 pint 0.9 fl oz. bottle with a label that has the Czech Republic Santa Claus drinking a stein of beer. That beer he's drinking must be really good because he has a million dollar grin on his face and he's giving that beer a thumbs up. I would be happy too if I was drinking a stein of beer and sitting on a keg of back up beer. On the guy's right and left side is the brewery symbol of a horseshoe with barley and hops in the middle. This symbol can also be found on the white foil covering the cap. The back label has the brewery symbol, name of the beer, US Government warning, barcode, refund values, and the actual street address of the brewery. It appears they didn't want to bother the consumer with a tacky best before date because that would be too helpful. Who would want that?
Appearance: When poured into a Brooklyn Brewery Euro pint glass, this Czech beer is a dark burgundy with a few dark ruby red highlights. The color was great, but the head of foam needed some work. It was less than a quarter of an inch in height and what appeared to be an off white color. It was too little to tell, but I'm 95% sure that it was an off white color. What little head of foam was there quickly dissipated into islands of white bubbles sitting on top of the beer. It didn't want to bother with leaving any rings or lace.
Smell: The aroma all the usual stuff to it, sweet caramel, a pinch of roasted malt, and a dab of hops. Nothing out of the ordinary, until all of those aromas faded. After all those little aromas, a grape bubble gum aroma emerged. It was either grape bubble gum or those grape flavored gummies. Whatever it was, it was certainly a grape aroma. I had no idea they could put the power of the grape into a beer aroma. The new stuff you learn everyday. Thanks Podkovan!
Taste: It had a light and sweet taste that featured sweet roasted malts, sweet caramel, sweet dark fruits, and the slightest touch of bitter hops at the end. The hops were the only thing that weren't sweet. I got a question. Where were the grapes in the taste? There were no grapes in the sweet dark fruits. If there were grapes in this, it would have made this a little bit more interesting than what it was. As you can tell, there really wasn't much in the taste and whatever taste there was, was sweet. How sweet of Podkovan to do that.
Mouthfeel: It was light and heavily carbonated. Not only could you taste the carbonation, but you could hear it when you poured it. It sounded like I was pouring a bottle of pop instead of pouring a bottle of beer. The aftertaste was faint with sweet roasted malts and a pinch of hops.
Drinkability: For some reason, I enjoyed this beer. I wouldn't mind having this one again in the future. The grape aroma made this beer a little interesting. Podkovan Dark isn't expensive at all and it was decent. What more can I say?

2.85/5 rDev -20.2%
Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy dark amber color with a firm head that leaves a nice pattern of lace
Smell: While there is a nice roasty quality, there are some other things going on that I don't like - adjunct corn, I'm afraid, that gives it a DMS smell big time
Taste: Starts out rather sweet but there is a strange flavor that builds mid-palate that is slightly astringent and medicinal; after the swallow, the roasty flavors return so it is best not to linger over this one; a touch of charcoal on the finish
Mouthfeel: Light body with moderate carbonation
Drinkability: Just cannot recommend this due to its many flaws

7/6/2007 $1.95 1 pint 0.9 oz 3.80% No best by date.
Pours a dark ruby red with little to no head.
Odd adjunty aromas, with corn, grape juice and soda predominant.
Worse tasting than it is in aroma. One sip and I'm cringing in pain from the sickly sweet overly fruity flavors. A second sip, and I question myself as to why I am subjecting myself to this torture. Thin treacly mouthfeel throughout, this is vile and insipid. Down the drain you go.

Beer poured into a 16 oz glass at 50 degrees. Beer did not have much of a head which was disapointing but actually did adversly affect the taste as I though it would. Taste was slightly chocolate/malty but not too overbearing. I was very pleased with this beer and will purchase again.

A new brew served up at Marrika's Bier Stubbe. A very refreshing brew for such roasted malt character. Smells rich with a moderate brown ale and chocolate aroma. Light cream scents decorate the beer. Tastes very bold with flavor, but light in body. It's kinda like a Porter Light, if there were such a thing. Finishes very clean, much like a good Schwarzbier with a snap. Certainly better than about any other Dark Euro Lagers that I have tried. I would stack this up against the best of German Dunkels.

Wow, the difference between the Podkovan Dark and Lager is like night and day (pardon the pun). Their standard offering is a basic, somewhat characterlless Euro lager, but their Dark is a beautiful example of what a dunkel should be.
It pours a clear deep chestnut brown that almost turns to deep-stained mahogany. It has a bit of a crimson cast, and some orangeish highlights can be seen at the base of the glass and along the sides. The frothy light tan head rises up to over a finger's thickness at the outset, and then settles shortly into a wide collar. Lacing is limited. I'm not sure what the ABV is, the label on my bottle reads 3.8%.
In the nose it's caramelish and cocoa-like with a bit of nuttiness, subtly roasty with a note of warm brown sugar. Very welcoming!
The body is light-medium, and it's gently crisp with a moderate carbonation; which helps to explain the lack of head retention as there's just not that much body there, nor the CO2 bubbles to bolster it.
The flavor is pretty much as the nose indicates it will be, but a little bit more complex. It starts with a lightly sweet, grainy, and caramleish malt; then expresses a drier, cocoa-ish side and more subtle roastiness across the middle; follwed by and some nuttiness and a bit of leafy hops at the swallow. It's remarkably well-balanced with it's delicate sweetness upfront, slowly drying as it crosses the middle and then into an underlying bitterness in the finish with lingering notes of woodiness, and some bitterness that's not unlike that of roasted-peanut-skins.
I find it light and easy to drink, but also flavorful and compelling. It's a great session lager that reminds me a bit of an English mild without the fruity yeastiness - of course, I guess that's what a dunkel really is, huh? Very nice!!!

Lucent blood orange with bright tangerine edges and a lovely looking three finger cap that is the color of butter toffee. The busily bubbled surface becomes semi-rocky as it descends, depositing an impressive amount of cheese grater lace in the process. Perhaps the best looking Euro dark lager that I've ever laid eyes on.
The nose fits the style, but is far too subtle. It's lightly roasted malty with hints of cocoa and coffee; a pleasant enough aroma that just might achieve the next highest score if I could better appreciate its nuances.
I haven't been too pleased with the EDLs that have crossed my palate in the past. While Podkovan Dark isn't outstanding beer, it's a fine example of its style because it has guts. At last, a dark lager that aspires to be a light porter rather than a pale lager with caramel extract added.
The most intesting thing about this beer is how much like coffee it tastes, especially on the finish. I'm not a huge java fan, but that particular flavor element adds an immeasureable amount of personality to a style that is rife with boring versions. I wasn't kidding about the light porter comparison; there's a fair amount of malt here and a near equal amount of hops.
Because of my big beer bias, I always find it difficult to pass judgment on styles that are light by nature. While the body/mouthfeel is lighter than I'd like, it's clearly in the upper reaches of the EDL range and, therefore, deserves kudos.The restrained amount of carbonation is just about perfect.
I'm one of the few who think that Podkovan Lager is worthwhile beer. I'm happy to report that Podkovan Dark is even better. Again, it's hard to find much to like in a style that contains dud after dud after dud, and I've struggled on more than one occasion not to simply write Euro dark lagers off completely. If this beer has done nothing else, it has restored my faith in an often overlooked style.

Nice rich brown color. No head anywhere. Low aroma-sort of a malty sweetness. Somewhat metal like. Good malty flavor-nice balance between the hops and some chocolate malt. Slightly sweet finish. Good body-quite full for the style. A very drinkable beer. Nothing beats a good dark Checz lager when you can find them.

Pours a copper chestnut color with a fluffy 3/4" light beige head. Micro suspended motionless particals in the liquid. Nice lacing.
Soft roasted malts in the nose with a slightly sour nip. Hints of coffee and sour dough evoke after a few brisk swirls of the glass.
The flavors of lightly roasted malts and wood stand nicely beside the timid hops. Slightly nutty and sweet caramel where the maltiness is displayed.
Mouthfeel is soft and medium bodied. Fine carbonation makes this feel superb on the tongue.
Drinkability is great. Nothing overpowering in this lager, making it very pliable & welcoming.
Overall a humble and simple dark lager that stands on it own two feet. The maltiness bloomed upon getting to room temp. The fluffy head had great staying power. I was very pleasantly surprised just coming off a less than remarkable regular lager from this brewery an hour ago. Very good IMHO.

When poured this beer has a nice two inches of head. That dissipates soon. A dark beer that can still be seen through, almost has a goldish hue.
The smell is almost a slight skunky not neccasary bad kind of that pilsner smell.
The start shows the roasted malts that are used. Quite nutty. But after that chocolate/coffee taste you are yearning for something else. This would probably be a lack of hops. Otherwise not a very complicated beer. A little more alchohol would improve the overall taste. This does have an almost creamy feeling in the mouth which is appreciated. The benefits of the low abv is that this beer could be drank quite a bit.

A decent beer from a very old Bohemian brewery. Dark ruby color, lots of coffeish-fruity aroma, rich malty-fruity taste, hints of caramel and dry fruit. Great 'cappuccino' head, fine lace. May appear too sweet, but after a first half-pint you realize how nicely it's balanced. Same beer is marketed in the States and some European countries as Diplomat and it's confusing 'cause Samson beers from Ceske Budejovice bear the same name for export markets. Recommended!

Sampled at the Beer at the Pier 1 Fest in Chicago
Dark nutty brown in color, with a very light head.
The aroma has chocolate, malts and a light roasted nutty smell.
That taste is simular to the smell with chocolate, coffee,malt, and nuts. Very enjoyable.
I liked the feel in the mouth, light, with good balenced carbination.
Being not to heavy or filling of a beer, along with the flavor make this a nice choice. Recommended.

500 ml bottle. The ABV is listed on BA as 5.8%, but my bottle says 3.8%. This beer pours out a dark brown with a medium sized head. Chewy malt aroma. The flavor is similar to the aroma. It's a little like molasses. There's a definite nutty flavor. I can't detect any hoppiness. Although the beer tastes very malty, it seems watered down. It's like two parts dopplebock mixed with one part water. I enjoyed this beer. It's a good example of a dark beer that is not thick and heavy.

Dark ruby red/brown in color... 1/4" light tan head that stays pretty well. Thick head. A very nice looking beer. Very appealing.
Extremely malty nose. Syrupy sweet with notes of raisins and dried figs. A touch nutty with some hints of honey.
Mouthfeel is decent... quite carbonated.
Malt upfront on the taste... nutty... dried fruits.
Overall a nice selection.

Poured a nice dark amber with mahogany highlights and a thick creamy off white head.
Smell has hints of maple, toffee, and oak mixing in with the sweet malt smells.
Taste has a very strong nuttiness with hints of smoke and maple poking through the slightly sweet profile. There is just a touch of earthy hops, but this is definitely a malty beer.
Mouthfeel is light and creamy.
Drinkability is good on this one, one of the better versions of this style I have come across.

Apperance is nut brown with a thin head and no lacing.
Smell is sweet malt with a touch of chocolate.
Taste has a very strong nutty smokiness to it that is interesting. Sweet malt up front with a touch of hops in the finish to bring the flavors into balance.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and lightly carbonated.
All in all this isn't a bad brew.

This thread exemplifies the divide that is desired by those that would impose their Marxist model upon people, yet again. Grow government and its perks to a place where they are enviable. Say, "Hey work for the government and you win too". When we all work for the government, and we're on that path, whether literally as employees or literally through taxation, we are all going to be in parity. We are all going to be communists.

That is one of the things his contract calls for -- to tell congress the condition of the country. This message, as I say, is to Congress. The rest of the people know the condition of the country, for they live in it, but Congress has no idea what is going on in America, so the president has to tell 'em." ~ Will Rogers

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.
