Lasers classified as Class IIIB or Class IV lasers have the potential of doing harm to operators and those around them. Several organizations outline procedures to be followed in use of these lasers. The organizations include the American National Standards Institute (ANSI); the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA); and the Council of Radiation Control Program Directors (CRCPD).
|Academic Affairs
|Mediation Policy for Faculty
|New policy to create formal process for mediating issues among faculty members.
|April 2014
|Sexual Harassment
|Policy Deleted, incorporated into the new Title IX policy, 3.1.48. See below.
|Revisions are necessary to comply with revisions to Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1974, revisions to VEVRAA, and the enactment of the Title II of the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act (GINA) of 2008. Revisions are also necessary to provide uniformity throughout campus regarding the basis of prohibited discrimination. Currently, gender expression and gender identity are included in the student Grievance policy, but not in the Anti-Discrimination policy. Gender identity is also protected under Title IX. The revisions reflect the creation of the Center for Diversity Affairs (CDA) and refer to the CDA as the unit responsible for monitoring and reporting to the Chancellor the University's progress in this area.Changes made to the policy:a. Updated list of applicable federal and state laws regarding equal opportunity and affirmative action.
b. Added the words "and inclusion" to follow mention of diversity.
c. Changed prohibited discrimination to state: race, color, religion, national origin, creed, service in the uniformed services (as defined by state and federal law), status as a protected veteran, sex, age, marital or family status, pregnancy, physical or mental disability, genetic information, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation.

|Safeguarding Protected Health Information
|Annual Review and Update of Policy. Edits include edits to definition of PHI, addressing Cloud storage (Procedure 1.L), new patient tracker boards requiring approval; use of non-UAMS emails forbidden for use of PHI transmission; clarification on Social Networking; and destruction of ePHI on returned equipment.
|Human Resources
|Employee Grievance Procedure
|The policy must be updated to remove Violations of Sexual Harassment from the exemption due to Title IV. I have also included another exemption that is necessary with the process. See new #8 and removed #8 under Definition of Grievance.
|Organizational Redesign
|This represents a revision of the existing policy. As UAMS moves forward with "Performance Excellence", the performance excellence team and HR saw the need to have the existing policy go beyond addressing issues related to reductions-in-force. One of the core functions that will come out of "Performance Excellence" is redeployment of staff after organizational design has occurred. The existing policy has very little language devoted to the practice of redeployment. Additionally, the term reduction-in-force carries a negative image that doesn't fit well thematically with "Performance Excellence".
|Affirmative Action
|Revisions are necessary to comply with revisions to Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1974, revisions to VEVRAA, revisions to Arkansas Code Annotated 21-3-302 and 303, and OPM Policy No. 30.20. The revised federal regulations take effect March 24, 2014. Changes made to the policy:
a. Revision of definition of protected veteran
b. Added the terms "physical or mental" to the term Individuals with Disabilities
c. Added Arkansas Code Annotated sections 21-3-302 and 303 and OPM Policy No. 30.20 and stated UAMS will comply with this statute and policy.
d. Incorporated language regarding recruitment efforts related to individuals with physical or mental disabilities and protected veterans to comply with newly revised regulations.
e. Incorporated language regarding voluntary self-identification of individuals with disabilities and protected veterans.
f. Changed our tagline used on official letterhead, publications, advertisements and solicitations to reflect revised regulations.
g. Updated list of applicable federal and state laws regarding equal opportunity and affirmative action.
h. Changed prohibited discrimination to state: race, color, religion, national origin, creed, service in the uniformed services (as defined by state and federal law), status as a protected veteran, sex, age, marital or family status, pregnancy, physical or mental disability, genetic information, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation.
|Campus Motor Pool Vehicle Checkout
|Policy Deleted, program no longer exists, making policy unnecessary.
|May 2014
|Employee Debt Collection
|We have many employees that owe us for tuition. However, we have not exercised the involuntary payroll deduction option that is permitted by U of A System policy and is included in the procedures used by our sister institutions. The attached is a revision of our current employee debt collection policy which includes language referencing involuntary payroll deductions. We also eliminated a lot of language that was contradictory or unessential to the policy itself.
|De-Identification of Protected Health Information and Limited Data Set Information

|Human Resources
|Employee Records
|NEW POLICY: Result of the Records Retention policy and defines the contents of Personnel records.

|Accounting of Disclosures of PHI
|Annual review and update of policy. Updated definition of PHI per HiTECH Act, updated UAMS Workforce definition, added an EPIC option on Procedure F, and updated name of Medical Records to Health Information Management.

|Annual review and update of policy made in response to changes in the HIPAA rules with respect to the use and disclosure of PHI for fundraising activities. Updated the scope, purpose, edited and added to the definitions, and made several changes throughout Procedures.
|Campus Operations
|Workplace Violence Prevention Plan
|Added Students to Scope. Further clarify workplace violence and add the aspect of prevention to the policy. Establish a behavioral assessment team to assist in the prevention of violence.
|Academic Affairs
|Faculty Grievance Procedure
|The faculty policy mirrors the employee policy for this section. Recently, the employee policy was revised to remove Violations of Sexual Harassment from the exemption due to Title IV and another exemption was added that is necessary. This revision allows the employee (non-faculty) and faculty employee grievance policies to be consistent with one another.
|Institutional Compliance
|Responding to Government Investigations
|NEW POLICY: This is a new policy that outlines the procedures for UAMS employees to follow in the event of a non-routine on-campus investigation by a government agency, such as DOL, CMS, FBI, etc.
|Subpoenas and Other Legal Notices
|NEW POLICY: This is a new policy that provides guidelines and procedures for UAMS employees to follow when receiving or responding to a subpoena or other legal notice.
|July 2014
|Drug Testing
|Updated to reflect current practice related to drug testing. Additions are (1) waiting six months to reapply if testing positive; (2) selection of random tests within 30 days of hiring exempt from test; and (3) test only valid for 30 days.
|Political Activity
|NEW POLICY: Needed to establish guidelines for individuals that seek a political office while employed at UAMS.
|Human Resources
|Flex Schedules
|Pay Differential
|New state requirements for classified shift differential payments effective 7/1/14. At the same time we have combined two other similar policies to simplify administration. Policies 4.2.05, On Call Pay, and 4.2.10, Non-Classified Patient Care Incentive Program will be deleted once this amended policy is approved. Deletion request also attached.
|On Call Pay
|Non-Classified Patient Care Incentive Program
|Definition of Workday, Shift and Pay Provision
|Industry Interaction
|Updated to reflect current outside employment approval process.
|Work Schedules
|NEW POLICY: Currently there are 2 similar policies in place. While auditing current polices, it was decided that it would be in the best interest of UAMS to combine the policies into one new one for clarity and administration. Combines 4.2.03, Flex Schedules and 4.3.02, Definition of Workday, Shift and Pay Provision into this new policy. 4.2.03 and 4.3.02 will be deleted once this policy is approved. Deletion request also attached.
|Campus Operations
|Vehicle Driver Safety Program
|UAMS Fleet management was recently changed from Engineering & Operations and OH&S to Parking Operations and OH&S. Changes to the policy reflect these changes, i.e. department name and phone number changes. Other minor changes were done to clarify statements in the policy.
|Insurance Claims
|UAMS Fleet management was recently changed from Engineering & Operations and OH&S to Parking Operations and OH&S. Changes to the policy reflect these changes, i.e. department name and phone number changes. Other minor changes were done to clarify statements in the policy.
|Emergency Eye Wash/Shower Inspection Policy
|The major change in the policy is the separation of research/education areas from Healthcare and who is responsible for conducting weekly testing. Research/Education areas are responsible for conducting weekly testing of eyewashes with monthly testing by Engineering & Operations (E&O). Quarterly testing of emergency showers will be the responsibility of E&O. All Healthcare areas will be tested by the Engineering & Operations staff (weekly and monthly testing). Quarterly testing of emergency showers will be the responsibility of E&O.
|Policy for Registration and Maintenance of Clinical Trials
|The revision to the policy was undertaken upon review of the current policy due to the enactment of a new Medicare National Coverage Determination (NCD), Section 310.1. The new NCD Manual requires all clinical investigations that are qualified for coverage and could potentially be submitted to a Medicare contractor be registered in the ClinicalTrials.gov database. Revisions were also made to clarify the current UAMS procedure for registering and maintaining trials registered by UAMS that was not adequately covered in the initial policy. The changes include: (1) Change in title; (2) updated purpose; (3) updated scope; (4) updated definitions; (5) added section on registering a trial to better inform investigators of their responsibilities and who is available to help them; (6) added section on maintaining a trial in the database; (7) added section on non-compliance; (8) added attachments; and (9) updated references.

The brave new app world
Driven by an explosion in new device types and ubiquitous connectivity, mobility is redefining how people use technology in every aspect of their lives. It's also redefining the technology experiences that people expect from businesses—both as employees (or more broadly, in their professional interactions) and as customer. On the business side, mobility empowers users to keep the business moving from anywhere. On the customer side, today's consumers want and, in some cases, expect to be able to interact with businesses through a rich mobile experience—the kind of experience that will keep them coming back for more. In both of these aspects, mobility is becoming a competitive differentiator. How will your business keep pace?
Embracing mobility will help you streamline workflows and cut down on the time it takes to deliver end value. The emerging trend and technologies will allow you to rethink the opportunities in desk-less work scenarios, engage customers more deeply, and gain competitive advantage. At Microsoft, we're making deep investments in each of these areas, and we can help you take advantage of the latest technology to build new business models and revenue streams.
Boost agility with real-time access to apps and data from anywhere.
Connect people in real time by embracing mobile device choice, using familiar productivity applications that span desktop and mobile devices, and developing line-of-business apps to support specialized field workflows.
Engage customers with smart, contextual mobile experiences.
By tapping into information about the users' context (such as their location) and enabling them to socialize your app through other apps, contacts, and social networks, you can delight your customers with rich, immersive mobile experiences.

2013 12 oz. bottle with new name: "Winter Soul"
Pours a slightly hazy amber red, no real head to speak of despite an aggressive pour. Basically a hint of white lace for a split second.
Smells of crisp apples, cinnamon, orange peel, mild pine hop, and biscuit malts.
Tastes of tart apple and orange juice, mild spice, and a hint of hop.
Medium to thin body with minimal carbonation.
This beer is weird. I'm not sure if it's supposed to taste like this or what, but it doesn't taste like any other beer I've had. It's not terrible, just very different. It's like a fruit juice more than anything. Not sure I could recommend it to anyone.

1.6/5 rDev -46.1%
My bottle was purchased on clearance For $2 and my label says Winter Soul. I am hoping there is something 100% wrong with my bottle...
No carbonation. Large amounts of heavy sediment again I am drinking from a Samuel Smith pint glass. Hazy brownish almost like a cider look to it.
At first I thought it was a winter edition of a Flanders red with a nice aroma and a sour style flavor. Then the after taste of old tea bags steaped in rotten orange juice made me sure this just can't be right. Since it smells so good, like a dog to its vomit, I have taken 6 good sips and I am going to stop....maybe after this next taste. OK yeah I will agree with the others It is A mess before I make my own mess....
I was hoping to love this beer. I love Flanders Reds. I love Cinnamon! I love that creepy bat cat devil thing on the label....I hated that stupid wax top! I had to shave away the cap to get the bottle open (so I know it was sealed) but for the past week I loved that wax top when I looked at it in my fridge! This beer was so bad I may have to find another just to make sure....

2.79/5 rDev -6.1%
I was able to find a wax top of this at my local mix six place for $1.75.
A - Quite hazy for an amber looks more like an old ale with a deep brown hue. Head is almost not existent with just a mild lace ring.
S - First smell was mild with some caramel and toffee malt but in the glass I am getting a Flanders red sort of tart brett smell. Other than that funk it mostly smells good.
T - OW wow is this sour like infected sour. Brett seems to have completely taken over and the rest of the body is hollow and watery like a fruit punch. What a fail on an amber/red ale!
M - Not sure the ABV but it drinks like a light beer but not as crisp. The zero carbonation makes it worse.
Overall I am not sure why you would distribute this let alone wax the freaking top. To be fair it was quite cool since they even put a string in the wax for easy removal. Not sure what they were keeping the air out from since this beer is a disaster. Drain pour/avoid!

1.35/5 rDev -54.5%
Another installment from Ryan011235 in the It Ain't All Columbus IPA and Edmund Fitzgerald Up Here series of Ohio reality checks. 12 ounce bottle/LaChouffe tulip. (I find myself slightly disappointed that this Imp offering isn't wax-dipped for that extra touch of fanciness.) Slightly hazy deep amber with a head that quickly pulls a disappearing act. No lace.
The pleasant combo of caramel and honey aromas is beaten down by canned frozen orange juice and a vaguely medicinal smell. Tangy to dang near the point of complete sourness; anything else going on here is pretty much drowned out. Fizzy carbonation aplenty. A complete mess. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Imp, but the open fermentation thing? It's a disaster.

3.25/5 rDev +9.4%
Eww. This is an amber? Disaster. Jump ship! Jump ship! Okay. It isn't that bad, but as an amber, we're nowhere near where we should be. This is very carbonated and, I want to say, frothy. It seems like a Belgian amber almost. Well. Anyways. There are a lot of malts and it has a fruit tone to it. Oh. Did I say that the nose reminded me of kool-aid at first? Well, now I did. Maybe if the beer was classified in a different way I wouldn't feel the same. It's still a fairly tasty beer.

12oz bottle poured into a pint glass
A: Average brown color with a thin head that disappears quite quickly.
S: Quite malty, with caramel and just a bit of nondescript spice/citrus.
T: Quite sour, as is the case with most of Indigo Imp's beers. Some of the caramel/citrus/generic spice from the nose comes through, but is hidden beneath the acid.
M: Light and crisp.
O: I like this because I like acidity, but I would much rather drink it as a refreshing drink during the summer, it did not come across as a winter beer to me.

2.75/5 rDev -7.4%
Worthy to note that the name of this beer was changed to Winter Soul.
Not much on the nose at all. A little astringent smelling, but it's very feint. I get a few sour notes as well, some very light fruit and chocolate.
Winter Soul's look is a bit disappointing, it is a deep hazy red color with no head what-so-ever. Minimal lacing, nothing very noteworthy.
Winter Soul tastes pretty good, dispute it's lackluster aroma and appearance. It has a nice Brett character that gives a little sourness, but nothing lip puckering. It There is an immediate sweetness you get right before the Brett takes over. I would describe this as a caramel-like flavor. Hop flavor are nonexistent.
The beer is easy to drink, and is nice and medium-bodied with light carbonation.

4.03/5 rDev +35.7%
A: Pours a cloudy dark Amber with a thick white head.
S: A definite yeast aroma is present as well a hint of lemon zest and coriander.
T: The flavors are very well melded together. Very round caramel notes blend into a restrained coriander spice flavor, and a hint of alcohol that lingers pleasantly.
M: Very smooth with a lower than normal amount of carbonation which is line with it being from a cask.
O: A tasty and well rounded beer. The flavors blend together well, and the low carbonation keeps it from having any sharp edges to its flavor.

A: no head, no clarity. Dark amber in color.
S: slight orange peel, cinnamon, and belgian yeast esters
T: Orange and slight banana flavors
M: very light carbonation, somewhat syrupy.

Indigo Imp : Winter Solstice
Pours a murly brown, with no head and little sign of carbonation. Aroma of caramel, spice and vegetal notes. In the taste, cocoa, nutty malt and a touch of spice on the back end. Carbonation is between low and non-existant. Overall, mellow flavors, with a bit more carbonation this would be better.

2.08/5 rDev -30%
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a snifter. Thanks to readbaron (maybe) for bringing this along.
Appearance: This is a murky brown copper color with plentiful black flecks of particulate. A large-bubbled white head fades to a wispy ring.
Smell: Wow, this is pretty bad. Cooked vegetables and some stinky feet go along with caramel malt. Light spiced and heavy bready malt.
Taste: The flavor starts with a full caramel sweetness, then some soft cinnamon and general spiciness. No real hoppy flavor here. The finish is reminiscent of steamed cauliflower.
Mouthfeel: The body is unnecessarily light, with a medium carbonation and a tingly mouthfeel. Sticky on the lips.
Overall: This is pretty bad. The flavor is not as bad as the aroma, but an absence of bad flavor is hardly a compliment.

1.63/5 rDev -45.1%
Pours a muddy amber with off white head. Small bubbles, and minimal lacing.
Smell is brutal. Feet and rotting/moldy vegetables are prominant. Some malt and bready aromas underneath. Supposedly it has cinnamon and orange. I didn't notice those.
Taste is a lot like the nose. Not as brutal, but still very bad. More on the vegetable side than the feet side. Lots of malt as well.
Feel is decent. A bit dry, medium carbed.
Ugh. Drainpour. Wish I'd tried this sooner (assuming that it tasted better last winter).

Mourinho wanted Bale for Madrid last year
Wales international Gareth Bale is still making headlines this weekend, after he stayed home as his Tottenham team mates head to Monaco for a pre-season friendly.
Speculation over the 24-year-old winger's future in the premier league has been rife, since reports emerged that Real Madrid had put in a vast bid to buy him from Spurs.
Spanish media have reported Bale is a step closer to signing that deal, as he didn't travel with Tottenham for the Monaco game
And today, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has said that he wanted to buy Bale last year, when he was in charge of the Spanish giants.

The Salem fire and police departments will soon be wielding a powerful weapon in the fight against the heroin epidemic washing over New England. Starting next month, all of the city's first responders will carry a nasal spray containing naloxone, which can counter the effects of a heroin overdose within minutes. Other communities should follow suit.
Paramedics on ambulance crews in Salem as well as in most local communities have been administering the drug for years, but firefighters and police are often first on the scene at an overdose, and a fast response can save lives.
A wave of heroin overdoses across the state have pushed the issue to the forefront. The Massachusetts state police say at least 185 people have died of heroin overdoses in the last four months, a number that does not take into account the state's three largest cities — Boston, Springfield and Worcester — which keep their own records.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says prescription drug and heroin fatalities have outstripped homicide and traffic deaths in the United States. In 2010, more than 16,000 Americans died of an overdose of prescription painkillers. Another 3,000 died from heroin, an increase of 45 percent from 2006.
Salem has seen the trend firsthand. There were seven overdoses in the city all of last year; there have already been four in 2014.
"This is about the worst I've seen it," police Chief Paul Tucker said.
The region has grappled with spikes in heroin abuse and overdoses before, but the recent spate of deaths have surprised safety officials. In 2014, heroin is especially cheap and deadly.
"Around here, you can get it for $30 or $40 a bag," said Tom Griffin, Salem's head of detectives. "Some places up north, it's $5 a bag. I've heard stories of other cities where they're giving it away trying to get people addicted to it. It's a tough addiction to kick."

Irish Style Stout - Sprecher Brewing Company
Displayed for educational use only; do not reuse.
Ratings: 112 | Reviews: 70 | Display Reviews Only:
2.68/5 rDev -27.6%
Pours black with a big bubbled tan head that quickly fades.
Nose is very light plum; maybe a hint of sweet chocolate but you really have to seek it out.
Mouthfeel is thin, watery, weak carbonation and without substance or character.
Flavor is a weak and watery sweet roasted grain that is simple in the extreme, although after some air it gets a light roasted citrus character that really doesn't add much.
Finish is actually a decent bitter coffee such that the end of the beer "is" the beer, although short and nothing other than a bit of roasted grain.

On tap at the Wisconsin Dells restaurant location. In a pint glass.
A: Pitch black, deep burnished head.
S: Odd. A little smoke but something here is really off.
T: The smokiness is nice, as is the cocoa element. But there is a lot of metal and a paperiness. Not great.
M: Pretty average for a dry stout. No real creaminess. Okay.
D: Not for me. Doesn't live up to the rep of good dry stouts.

A: Very dark brown pour iwth a medium-sized and dense light brown head. Fades at a medium pace, leaving a decent patchwork of lacing behind.
S: Odd meaty aroma with some soy sauce. WTF?
T: More meat. Tastes like I'm drinking a steak. A little soy sauce follows. Ends with a hint of coffee bean. Strange.
M: Medium bodied, relatively smooth.
O: I'm assuming (hopefully) that this is some sort of brewer's mistake. It tastes like soy sauce and beef. Not really a pleasant taste or aroma.

Thanks to thirdeye11 for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a dark brown color with a tan head. The aroma is made up of lighter malts, but there is not really much else going on. The flavor is roasted malt and not too much else. Both the flavor and aroma are very one dimensional and not too exciting. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Sprecher products are a tough find in Southern California, but I willing to try ones that I haven't before. 16 ounce twist-off bottle from Total Wine in Rancho Cucamonga. On to the beer:
Pours black like licorice. A little ruby red hue at the bottom of the glass. The head on top drops a thin creamy/bubbly texture, retention is okay. Lots of blackstrap molasses in the aroma. Roasted malt and a snap of booze add to it.
Its flavor doesn't really soak into the palate. There's a little of dry stoutness, but at this point, there are others of the style that I prefer. Okay, back to this one...light molasses, light roasted malt, light lacotse note. In the mouth, it has a light fizzle and a lighter texture to it. The aftertaste leaves a smokey note mixed with chocolate.
Back in the day (20 years ago), this must have been the shit. But now with so many good session stouts on the market, Sprecher's version is left behind. Still a decent buy; only $1.99 for the pint-sized bottle.

3.25/5 rDev -12.2%
Served into a Guinness pint glass from a 16 oz. twist off bottle. Pours a deep black with very little highlights. Half an inch of mocha foam bubbles down to a light cap and yields some light to moderate lacing. Becomes quite flat by mid glass however.
Roasted malt on the nose with some chocolate and coffee notes, yet with a background of the typical yeast/hop notes from the brewery, adding a bit of sour cherry to the mix. The body of this brew hides it a bit better however. Still somewhat lacking, though improving with warming.
Flavor starts off full but thins out quickly and offers a somewhat watery roasted finish. Bit burnt and drying in nature, yet with a fruity sweet and viscous creamy finish. Bit of coarse spice later on.
Surely a Sweet Stout from my view..

prob tied as my fave sprecher with their weisse...
smell is a bit of sour fruit, red wine, and choco...
that a-typical sprecher sourness is in here... yeast? all their beers have this characteristic... I like the way it comes off in this beer better than some others... with this and their black bavarian it adds originality, but for the most part it's a flavor that I don't really care for... a cask, dark fruit dominant flavor profile without the hops and earthiness that I like in this style...
still decent though...
a bit over-carbd... a bit thin on the mouthfeel, but the flavor is pretty good... I wouldn't buy this again, but I wouldn't turn one down either...

3.28/5 rDev -11.4%
Appearance: 16oz twist top bottle with no best by or bottling date. Pours black with a brown head, that does not get very high, and dies down to a thin covering. No lacing while drinking.
Smell: Malts, alcohol, caramel and a slight sour smell at the very end.
Taste: Water, coffee, malts, and bitter chocolate. I was hoping this beer would be a little sweeter. I found the taste to be a bit biting. The aftertaste is of bitter chocolate and watery coffee.
Mouthfeel: Watery and carbonated, the mouth is left feeling dry, and watering.
Drinkability: I was disappointed by this beer, I was hoping for a sweeter stout, but this beer is watery and with an aftertates to match.

Strikingly dark in color, but almost no head. Barely one finger of tan head with no retention.
Smells quite good. Chocolate, coffee notes.
A little light in the flavor department. Some coffee, roastiness, but lack of malt leaves it out of balance. Has an interesting citrus tang to it.
Very water, thin mouthfeel for a stout.

Reviewed from session notes.
A. Opaque black with a short-lived single finger of tan head that fizzles out in about a minute without any lacing left behind.
S. Mostly licorice aroma with lesser amounts of chocolate and coffee. Some dusty roasted malt aroma also appears as the glass warms.
T. Somewhat simplistic compared to the nose. Straightforward charred malt and bitter coffee. That's about it. I'm not quite getting the typical acidic tang that most Irish Stouts have from this brew.
M. Fizzy, prickly carbonation on a lighter side of medium thickness body.

16 oz bottle, no date.
appears opaque black, 1/2" tan colored head, but it fades fast. roasty aroma, a bit of coffee. taste is fairly standard for the style, dry roasted malt flavor dominates. lower carbonation, thin to medium body.
overall, right on for the style, but nothing special.

3.4/5 rDev -8.1%
Very deep in color with a moderate head and marginal lace. Aromas are malt driven-rich caramel, chocolate, with some buttery/diacytal notes on the tail end. Medium to full bodied with brisk carbonation, the beer exhibits a bit of a smokey/fishy flavor and some off putting buttery nuances, as well as the usual suspects-dark roasted malts giving the usual chocolate/coffee tastes. I wish this beer leaned more to the restrained bitter/dry than the hedonistic, but hey, it's Sprecher. Decent, but not anything out of the box.

Pitch black beer with a slowly fading creamy head.Aroma is chocolate and coffee.Taste is cocoa,chocolate and some smoked malts.Pretty smooth and refreshing..nothing offensive.All in all a decent brew.I would recommend to try at least once.I probably would try again.

3.45/5 rDev -6.8%
A - Pours a watery/creamy black with a 2 finger brown head that disipates immediately. Reminds me more of a porter than a stout.
S - Slight hint of caramel and roasted malt. A faint hint of wet cardboard in the beginning the disapeears as the beer warms.
T - Hint of roasted malt and caramel. Slight cardboard taste to go along with the smell that disappears once the beer has warmed.
M - Thin and watery. A little too light.
D - I was a little disappointed with this offering. A little tweek in all area would make this a very nice beer.

3.48/5 rDev -5.9%
Pours a standard black stout color, nothing exciting about it. A quick diminishing head is present for a brief period. Smells of roasty goodness. Smells strictly of roastiness. Taste is initially bitter. The bitterness comes from the roasty malts and hops. Not much of a malt body to back this one up. The signiture Sprecher yeast twang is here too. The mouthfeel of this one is pretty much the same as water, very light. This could be quite possibly the best session stout i have had, very easy to drink, unfortunately that isnt everything.

On April 15, after reconfirming her not guilty plea to animal torture charges, Tiara Davis rejected a 60-day jail deal offered by the District Attorney. In a heavily publicized case, Davis was caught on video violently kicking and leash-choking her nine-pound Pomeranian, Sparky. The incident occurred on January 11 in the Grant Houses in Morningside Heights, the same public housing project where surveillance video captured an unrelated dog beating only two weeks prior the incident.
It was approximately 2:00 A.M. on January 11, when the NYPD's in-elevator surveillance system captured Davis beating the four-year-old dog. The 31-year-old apparently lost her temper after Sparky urinated on the elevator floor. The video clearly shows Davis punching, kicking and swinging the small dog by his neck until he blacked out. Sparky suffered multiple bruises, possible liver damage and emaciation. He is currently recuperating at the ASPCA Bergh Memorial Hospital.
"There was no justification for this violent act of cruelty," says Stacy Wolf, Vice President and Chief Legal Counsel for the ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Department "I think the plea deal is generous and should be reconsidered by the defendant, I am not sure a jury would be as lenient."
Davis, who was arrested by ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Agents the same morning the beating occurred, is due back in court on May 12, where the possibility of trial awaits her.

I agree with Kay but first I would do to her all the things she did to that helpless little dog especially tie something around her neck and swing her until she blacks out then put the bullet in her head
eye for an eye...kick her around! simples!...
Push her down the damned elevator. Horrible injuries come from falls on these moving staircases. Then push her down it again.
How could someone do that to an animal? I guess I shouldn't ask that of people who want to kill,torture and terrify humans when they get mad.
Someone needs to put a leash around her neck and do a leash choke on her and then proceed to beat the crap out of her. Once that is done and she is given no medical treatment (why waste good money?), throw her sorry ass in prison for 5 full years.
The title of this article and the following comments shows how crazy people are when it comes to "animal abuse". I am by no means advocating beating, kicking, puching, whipping ect. an animal who is helpless. However, an animal is just that, an animal. People who do these types of things should be restricted from pet ownership and refered to mental health evaluations, not thrown in jail for "torture".
Also, to the morons advocating a bullet to the head STFU. your ignorance and lack of ability to think before making a statement is outrageous. The puppy picture to the immediate right of the comments entry space isnt looking sad because criminals are harming him. He is looking sad because he has weak minded people like you advocating for him.
Also, Someone who is in court for a crime and is not yet convicted is innocent until proven guilty. The title should say "Suspected Dog Abuser Rejects Plea Deal". Just a little FYI.
I think this first thought/reaction of a bullet to the head - is just that a thought put into words - not to be taken literally. Many people may say I could kill him/her/it They do not go and kill someone - it is a way of showing/expressing anger without actually doing any harm.
I am an animal lover I have a dog and 3 cats of my own and this absolutely disgusts me and she definetly needs to be punished for her horendous crimes. At the same time she didn't kill the dog so why should she be killed? I agree punished by time in prison and never being able to own a pet or to have a child in her custody. The one thing that disgusts me more than this though is how I read throught the comments on here and because someone has a different opinion than the majority on here you want to condemn him or her to be the victim of this woman's brutality or even to die themselves? I mean come on, the people who do that are just as bad as the lady in the article who did that to her dog. I think there are way to many people on here who are demented like talking about taking her out to coyote or wolf country and cutting her and letting wolves eat her??? How sick do you have to be?? Yes what she did was horrible but for everyone to go the extremes they are going to is ridiculous!
the same thing she did to the dog should be done to her and then someone needs to piss on her. any punishment she gets will not be severe enough. that is the problem in the world today. they can do what ever they want to children animals and the elderly and get away with it. the all have a special place in Hell and that is too good for them. heartless cruel and evil humans...
After reading your posts I'm very glad that non of you live near me or my family. Have you read your posts? most of you are no better than the person who mistreated the dog. I believe every living thing deserves to be comfortable and free of pain and abuse. But after reading most of your posts , the Salem witch hunts come to mind, you all need a reality check.

"I've received many compliments on my card! I was behind and didn't get Christmas cards done in time so did this instead. I think my friends spent more time looking and admiring my card because the rush of the holidays was over. The paper feels like a fine heavy quality and the layout is attractive. I was very pleased. Be sure to get the larger envelopes because the post office charges .20 more per card for square ones."
"This is the fifth year I've purchased my Christmas cards from Tiny Prints and I am never disappointed! I love the customization options and the fact that I can make my cards truly my own! I love sharing my family photos with my family and friends."
"I got this card in nutmeg with rounded edges and I added pearl white shimmer. It turned out so beautiful and sparkly! I got many compliments!"
"A nice layout to showcase a small collection of pictures. Used semi-glossy stock, and was really pleased with how the pictures "popped." Rounded corners completed the look."
"I was thrilled to get my first tinyprints order in the mail. They had a great variety of designs and I have received past Christmas cards from others that were printed through tiny prints. I'm so impressed with the customer service, paper quality, and turn around time. I will continue to use them for my paper needs!"

Arc Floor Lamp
Carrie from Holliston, MA– Verified Buyer
Beautiful lamps. We bought 2. One of them did not have a long enough screw to hold the nut securely below the base and my husband was afraid he would strip the threads. We managed to get it to hold for now but these are not the most well-made lighting fixtures. Also, the shades are not carefully pleated so some sides look better than others. The design is fabulous. Wish the quality was there to match.

Really heavy man,
This review is from: Live On (Audio CD)
Have to say I was disappointed in this. Everybody talks about Shepherd's talents as a blues guitarist. About how he's the new SRV. I was quite excited picking this up.
But then I played it. This might have some undderlying blues motifs but it's heavy metal. I mean really heavy metal. I like my AC/DC and my Led Zep - both of which are fairly heavy with a dose of the blues. But this stuff was far too heavy. I'm too embarassed by it to play it.

World Cup
Keven Mealamu says he isn't done yet, not by a long shot.
As another round of hand wringing about the country's lack of depth at hooker kicks off, Mealamu has reiterated his desire to be part of next year's World Cup campaign.
Dane Coles' looming absence from part, or all, of the All Blacks' trip to Argentina and South Africa later this month for the birth of his partner's child has again highlighted the dearth of options available to coach Steve Hansen.
Bay of Plenty's Nathan Harris was the next cab off the rank, but after that it was anybody's guess.
"We've been bringing people in and out of the environment," Hansen said.
The awful truth about the Wallabies' hammering last weekend is that by 2015 the All Blacks could roll out an entirely different back line and dish it out all over again.
Wallowing in pessimism? Perhaps, but look at the stockpile of talent that wasn't even in the 23 in Auckland that, in theory, they could select next year.
The risk of losing star Wallabies like Israel Folau after the 2015 World Cup has prompted the Australian Rugby Union to change its rules to allow overseas sabbaticals.
The Australian Rugby Union will dangle a sizeable carrot to lure the country's top players to sevens in the lead up to the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in 2016.
A New Zealand radio station has been criticised after running a competition to see how far its male listeners will go to win tickets to the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
The Edge offered tickets if two heterosexual male friends got married. "We've done stranger weddings, naked weddings, same sex weddings but this is the first one that we know will end in divorce," the station said in its promotional material.
Premiership Rugby has threatened to continue with their league programme during next year's Rugby World Cup unless a deal can be reached with the RFU.
Tensions have been running high between Premiership Rugby and the RFU in recent months.
Premiership Rugby are upset after the RFU failed to consult them over the bid for the Rugby World Cup.
They are now seeking a compensation deal of £14 million from the RFU as they will have to shut down the league while the Rugby World Cup is taking place in England.
With the global showpiece scheduled to take place between September and October, England's Premiership clubs will have no matchday income for five months – as the tournament finishes at the end of May – and according to projections each top tier club are set to lose £1.2 million.
Josh Strauss admits he must deliver another sterling season for Glasgow Warriors in the Guinness PRO12 – and only then can he turn his attention to winning a Scotland cap.
Strauss, 27, made the move from South Africa to Glasgow in 2012 and will be eligible to play for Scotland on September 19, 2015 – four days before their opening World Cup match.
The back-row has been a formidable force for Gregor Townsend over the last two years, starting in 31 domestic games including last season's final.
The hostility Emily Scarratt suffered for wanting to play rugby as a teenager was made to look even more absurd when she sealed England's World Cup triumph last Sunday with a superb individual try.
Like the rest of her team-mates, Scarratt is only too aware of the cliches surrounding women's rugby.
'Leave it to the men,' the dinosaurs say. 'The rugby field is no place for girls'.
The Webb Ellis Cup has completed its first day in South Africa as part of the fifth leg of the Rugby World Cup Trophy Tour.
On August 18 the Trophy visited Hoerskool Waterkloof in Pretoria where children from the school, along with groups from St Peters, Pretoria Technical High School and Elarduspark got to show off their Rugby playing skills in a coaching clinic which was led by former South Africa coach Ian McIntosh and Rugby World Cup 2007 winner Gary Botha.
Land Rover supports a number of schools through its South African dealer network – a total of 31 dealers who support local schools within their communities.
England were crowned champions after beating first-time finalists Canada 21-9 in an enthralling Women's Rugby World Cup 2014 title decider at Stade Jean-Bouin in Paris on Sunday.
Hosts France overcame Ireland 25-18 to finish third, while four-time champions New Zealand ran riot against the USA and Australia beat Wales to secure fifth and seventh place. Spain overcame South Africa for ninth place and Samoa picked up their first win to condemn Kazakhstan to 12th place.
England will be aiming to end a run of three straight defeats in Women's Rugby World Cup finals when they meet Canada in Paris on Sunday.
The Red Roses, who claimed their only world title in 1994, were beaten by New Zealand in 2002, 2006 and 2010.
Gary Street's team are favourites to beat a Canadian side who will be appearing in their first final.
But England captain Katy Mclean warned: "As soon as you start thinking about lifting cups is when you fall over."
New Zealand, winners of the last four World Cups, were knocked out of the competition at the pool stage after a shock defeat by Ireland.
Innovation and tradition is at the heart of MATCH XV, the official Rugby World Cup 2015 match ball, launched by Rugby World Cup suppliers Gilbert today.
The MATCH XV will make its debut in the English Premiership and French Top 14 later this month and will be used in top level Test matches throughout the rest of 2014 and 2015, meaning the world's best players will have plenty of competition time with the ball.
A modern classic, the MATCH XV is the latest in a succession of balls stretching back to 1995 to be engineered by the industry-leaders specifically for Rugby's global showpiece tournament and is packed with innovation. It is also the most-tested Gilbert ball in history.
Canada will face former champions England in the final of Women's Rugby World Cup 2014 on Sunday at the Stade Jean Bouin after they enjoyed contrasting semi-final victories in the French capital.
England booked their place in a sixth Women's Rugby World Cup final after an emphatic 40-7 victory over first-time semi-finalists Ireland, the Red Roses finally producing the all-round performance they had been craving.
There will be a new name on the Women's Rugby World Cup as New Zealand are the high profile absentee in the final four of the competition.
In the last round of the pool stages in Marcoussis, England's draw with Canada saw both into the semi-finals where they will be joined by Australia and Ireland.
New Zealand, who have triumphed in the past four World Cups, won their last game of the pools but they went into their game against the USA already knowing they were out of the competition.
Nemani Nadolo will remain at the Crusaders for two more years, after reports in New Zealand said the giant Fijian winger "never had any intention of going anywhere else".
"We have loved having Nemani in the Crusaders this season, as have our fans, so it gives me great pleasure to confirm that he will be returning to the team next year and in 2016," Crusaders chief executive Hamish Riach said.
Ireland produced one of the shocks of Women's Rugby World Cup history by beating four-time world champions New Zealand on an historic day at Marcoussis. As a result of their 17-14 victory, Philip Doyle's side has taken command of Pool B with a two-point lead now established over the Black Ferns and USA, who meet in the final round of pool fixtures on Saturday.
Another mouth-watering tie lies in wait in Pool A where England and Canada are separated only by points difference at the top of the table, after both teams recorded their second consecutive bonus-point wins of the competition.
Russia remain in the hunt for the final place at Rugby World Cup 2015 after beating Zimbabwe 23-15 in their Repechage semi-final in Krasnoyarsk on Saturday.
The Bears, bidding to reach a second consecutive tournament, will now face the winner of the match later today in Montevideo between Uruguay and Hong Kong for the right to join hosts England, Australia, Wales and Fiji in Pool A at RWC 2015.
Defending champions New Zealand got their World Cup defence off to a strong start on day one of the tournament while wins for hosts France, Canada, Australia, England and Ireland mean the competition is set for more classic match-ups before the 17 August final.
The seventh Women's Rugby World Cup saw sell-out crowds watch six top-quality matches at FFR headquarters in the French capital.
Ireland beat their Pool B rivals USA in a match that could be crucial for the progress of the girls in green, while Australia and England impressed in their pool openers.
The Springbok Women on Friday suffered a disappointing 26-3 defeat against Australia in their opening Women's Rugby World Cup clash at the French Rugby Federation in Marcoussis.
South Africa showed encouraging signs throughout the match, but their struggle to breach Australia's defensive line combined with penalties conceded and mistakes made at crucial times denied them from starting the tournament on a high note.
Australia had the upper hand in the first 25 minutes as they retained possession and forced the Bok Women to defend for long periods.
The choice of England as the host nation for next year's Rugby World Cup is a fitting one, as it is of course the birthplace of the game.
There is a good sense of continuity after the 2011 edition in New Zealand, as the Land of the Long White Cloud is considered one of the sport's great heartlands. There is a sense of the battle for the Webb Ellis Cup moving from one side of the world to the other.
The southern Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk may not be the geographical halfway point between Eden Park and Twickenham but it is not too far from it at nearly 8,000 miles from Auckland and almost 4,500 miles from London.
So, perhaps it is apt that the Russian city is to play host to the Rugby World Cup 2015 qualifier between Russia and Zimbabwe with a place in the repechage final against either Uruguay or Hong Kong up for grabs.
C'est parti!
The 12 teams participating in Women's Rugby World Cup 2014 have arrived in France and are all set for kick-off in Paris this Friday, August 1.
Under the opulence of the City Hall in Paris, and with an earlier photo call in the shadow of the iconic Eiffel Tower, #WRWC2014 was officially launched in the French capital on Tuesday.
New Zealand are in France to defend their title, which they claimed after a thrilling final against England in 2010.
Several ex-New Zealand and Australia internationals have confirmed that they will lodge an application to switch allegiances to a Pacific Island nation with whom they hold a passport, with a view to participating at the Rugby World Cup in England next year.
With the inclusion of rugby 7s at the Olympics in 2016, there has been a change in eligibility laws that will see players who have represented one nation now eligible to play for another, if they hold a passport from that country.
If they have not played international rugby in the past 18 months, they will be eligible for their new country in the Sevens World Series or designated Regional Olympic Qualification Tournaments and would thus be able to play for that country in all forms of rugby.
As the dust settles on Germany's recent FIFA World Cup triumph is there anything that those side's hoping to lift the Rugby World Cup crown in England next year could learn from Joachim Löw and his all-conquering team?
Are there lessons that could prove pivotal for those sides aiming to win the Women's Rugby World Cup in France next month?

To see Chloe in her LFL outfit…..keep reading!
With just over two weeks to go before Women's Rugby World Cup 2014, we take a look back at how previous tournaments unfolded and at the Springbok squad and preparations.
Women's rugby has experienced phenomenal growth in recent times and the number of women and girls playing the game currently stands at 1.5 million, a quarter of the overall total.
Much of that growth over the past five years has been driven by Olympic inclusion, the inception of the IRB Women's Sevens World Series, Rugby World Cup Sevens and ongoing work between national unions and Olympic Committees.
However, many countries have deep roots in the women's 15-a-side game, which has already seen seven world tournaments, four sanctioned by the IRB and three 'unofficial World Cups'.
Here we provide a brief history of the Women's Rugby World Cup movement.

England Under 20 retained their title as the IRB's Junior World Champions when they edged their South African counterparts 21-20 in Auckland on Friday.
It was far from a clinical display. In fact it was a typical Final – in which there was good and bad kicking, handling errors, moments of sublime brilliance and a few poor options.
However, it was a great and enthralling encounter to watch, as two of the giants of the junior game went head-to-head.
In the end England deserved the win, if only because they made fewer errors and managed to overcome their soft moments better than the Baby Boks did.
Two of the key aspects were the line-outs, where JD Schickerling reigned supreme, and the kicking game – with Handré Pollard and Warrick Gelant's boots just so much more accurate and secure.
However, errors limited the Baby Boks' ability to capitalise on their superiority on those departments.
