Hospital blunders led to girl's death
6:00am Tuesday 10th December 2013 in News
A TEN-YEAR-OLD girl died after a catalogue of blunders at Basildon Hospital, an inquest found.
Shortages of senior medics, delays, and out-of-date medicines meant the trust was unable to stop epileptic Arina Durbazeva fitting before she suffered a heart attack, Chelmsford Coroners' Court heard.
Arina, from Maunder Close, Grays, was born at the hospital and had been a regular patient after being diagnosed with epilepsy, aged one.
She was admitted to the paediatric unit on October 12, last year, for checks after suffering an epileptic seizure at school, which stopped after being treated with an anti-seizure drug.
However, she had a second seizure at the hospital soon after arriving at 4.20pm, but a series of subsequent errors meant it could not be contained.
She suffered the heart attack at 6.05pm and stopped breathing for 14 minutes before being transferred to St Mary's Hospital, London, where she died two days later.
Giving a narrative verdict Coroner Caroline Beasley- Murray said: "There were serious failings in the care provided during her treatment at Basildon Hospital."
The failings were:
- No set treatment plans for regular patients ! An inexperienced medic struggled to mix a dose of the same drug used to stop the previous seizure and the delay meant it did failed to work.
- Junior doctors chose not to administer three other types of drugs which should be tried if the first treatment failed, as the only stocks on the ward were out of date. It was later established they should have been tried anyway.
- Pharmaceutical staff should have replenished and destroyed out-of-date drugs, but failed to do so ! Despite warning signs under a child patient risk system, there were repeated delays in alerting an on-call consultant to her deteriorating condition ! A lack of senior nursing staff, no senior doctors were ever at the ward after 5pm and the oncall locum consultant Dr Mohamed Ramadan chose to stay at home when contacted.
- Two anaestistists on site could not get to her bedside until after the heart attack.
A post mortem found she died from multiple organ failure contributed by epilepsy, an associated brain problem and obesity.
The court heard the death also led to two independent reviews and an action plan to prevent a repeat being implemented.
It included regular drug date checks, consultants on site until 9pm, tailor-made care plans for those with complex illnesses, and staff made to contact senior staff more quickly.
Ms Beasley-Murray added: "I am pleased to see there have been some improvements in places, but they must be ongoing and must be implemented.
"There is no point having an action plan unless it is implemented fully so little girls like this much-loved girl are not at risk."
ARINA'S father still wants answers from Basildon Hospital over his daughter's death.
Arkadiys Durbazeva, 40, cross examined Dr Rotimi Jaiyesimi who investigated the failings.
He said: "There is a void in our understanding of how a situation as dire as this was allowed to exist in the hospital."
He did not accept some of the doctor's claims and timescales given in evidence.
The hospital said the seizure lasted 45 minutes, but Mr Durbazev said records showed it was an hour and 45 minutes.
Despite being in charge of the investigation, Dr Jaiyesimi said he could not comment on why other measures recommended in the treatment plan for epileptics were not carried out.
There was also confusion over the timing of when the anaesthetists were first contacted, two other calls made by junior doctors, and who was in charge during her treatment, which the medic was unable to address.
Mr Durbazeva added: "There are definite discrepancies between our understanding and the definitions of certain events given this afternoon and the timescales. Unless we get satisfactory answers, we reserve the right to seek further responses."
The court heard evidence of failings in her care that typified the myriad of problems identified by the national review into failing trusts across the country, which singled out several hospitals, including Basildon, with the highest preventable death rates, having severe staff shortages and lack of senior doctors available at the busiest times.
DOCTOR Rotimi Jaiyesimi, Basildon Hospital's director of patient safety, carried out an internal investigation into the death.
He accepted there was a delay in mixing the initial drugs.
He said: "Perhaps the person mixing it did not know what to do. If it had been a senior person perhaps it would have been given earlier.
"In years gone by nursing staff had responsibility for out-ofdate drugs, but there were documents saying it was the responsibility of pharmacy, but they did not do it.
"There was a delay in escalating treatment when the first treatment was not effective.
"I would expect junior doctors to have contacted consultants."
On call consultant Dr Ramadan no longer works for the trust and is based in Libya, so did not give evidence.
Dr Jaiyesimi added: "The consultant should have probed further about the deterioration. It is difficult for me to comment on his decision to stay at home."
Asked about repeated delays in getting consultants involved, he added: "When you are in a bubble, you lose track of time.
"We have spoken about it across the trust and if a junior doctor calls. you must ask relevant questions." BASILDON Hospital's chief executive Clare Panniker gave a personal apology to the family after the inquest.
She said: "I want to say how sorry I am that we failed to provide the best care to Arina.
"I also want to assure her family that she will not be forgotten and will remain at the forefront of our minds as we seek to improve the care we provide to all our patients.
"We have worked tirelessly to learn lessons from her death and, as a result, the care we provide to children has been transformed."
She said the hospital now employed higher numbers of specialist paediatric nurses and three additional consultants. She added: "We have changed the way some children access paediatric services out of hours to ensure they are safe at all times.
"A review of the way we manage medicines has also been undertaken to ensure they are available and in stock at all times."

Once again Basildon Hospital has let the community down, mixed with some appalling failures there is lots of good work done but this is inexcusable, I worked in this hospital for 7 years and saw the work the paediatric dept. The doctors and senior staff as far too busy doing other things rather than looking out for the patients, most are working in private clinics and not on site, there direct managers turn a blind eye as do the senior managers as well as the trust board of directors, I have said it many times but ALL the management needs to be sacked for gross failure and they need to be replaced, this includes the head of nursing, director of finance and the whole of the board of directors! The OLD chief exec has a lot to answer for!

It really is a travesty that so many people in a position of being trusted with peoples lives (and many who are paid very well to do so), betray that trust but are allowed to remain in that position.
Heads really need to start rolling, especially higher up the chain, to show other staff that gross neglegence on this scale is not to be tolerated. Unless this happens, people lives will continually be treated as a triviality.

The loss of the youngsters life is nothing short of DISGUSTING, and far too many Managers in EVERY hospital, getting extortionate salaries and allowing these things to happen, but NEVER get fired. WHY?
I took photo's of a Dirty ward in one hospital 3 years ago, and it was Months before it was cleaned. NOT Basildon though.

DHEA: Is It Right For You?
Fantastic claims have been touted for DHEA--you may have heard that it can increase energy levels, help you lose weight, slow down aging, boost the immune system, reduce cancer/heart disease risk, improve memory, and a host of other symptoms. However scientists still do not understand exactly how DHEA works, what its purpose is in the body, and whether DHEA is safe and effective.
DHEA: Ignore The Hype By P.J. Skerret
The FDA isn't sure what to do with DHEA supplements. Ten years ago the agency told companies to stop selling DHEA, which was marketed at the time for weight loss, and classified it as an unapproved new drug, obtainable only by prescription. Then in 1994, DHEA was reclassified as a dietary supplement, allowing sales over the counter, from Quackwatch.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WDRB) -- It is the only Corvette plant in the world and the only GM plant in Kentucky.
The plant and its workers have made a big comeback with a new and improved Corvette.
GM spent more than $131 million to retool the plant and retrain its workers to build the seventh generation Corvette which is now rolling off the assembly line in Bowling Green.
"We are very excited about this C-7 new generation Corvette," says plant manager Dave Tatman to WDRB News, "that we decided to use the name Stingray again, a hallowed iconic name in Corvette history."
The new C-7 Stingray is a radical redesign from the C-6.
"This car is unique in that there are only two parts in this car common to what we used in the C-6," says Tatman.
Five years ago in 2008 during the Great Recession and General Motors in bankruptcy, the future of the Corvette was very much in doubt.
But what a difference five years can make.
"We have moved way past that," explains Tatman, "GM is an all new company and as evidence of that we have the all new Corvette."
Because of the radical new design, earlier this year the plant had to be shut down for six months for the retooling.
But now jobs are being added.
"We've brought in more than 300 new employees to be part of the launching of this new car," says Tatman.
The plant now has about a thousand workers, more than double from three years ago.
The new Corvette has more of a European sports car look than previous models. Its 6.2 Liter V-8 engine has 455 horsepower.
The Corvettes aluminum frame and improved weight and balance should mean better handling.
"It is an eye catcher, performance wise it is on top of its game; it is just a well balanced, well designed vehicle."
Mark Thomas made the trip to Bowling Green from Columbus, Ohio to watch his red Corvette being built along the assembly line.
"I am very excited, I wish I could drive it off the line and take it home today," he said.
The sticker price for the new Corvette starts at $52,000.
The new Kentucky made Corvette started showing up in dealer showrooms last week.
By the way, public tours at the Corvette plant resume on Monday, October 14.

The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office is investigating a fire that charred a small bungalow-type house at 160 Jersey Avenue.
One person died in the fire, Assistant Monmouth County Prosecutor Marc LeMieux told the Asbury Park Press, but authorities have not released the person's identity.
The fire was reported to police around 1:30 a.m. The small street was filled with ambulances and fire engines battling the blaze for several house on the densely occupied block, facing Route 36.
Next door neighbor David Echeverria said he was awakened by a "loud bang, like firecrackers" and fire trucks in front of his home in the dark of night. "I was pretty scared when I saw the saw flames shooting out of the house," he said, looking at the burned out house just a few feet away from his. "They were as tall as that tree behind the house."
He grabbed his dog Oatmeal and pounded on his grandfather Wilfredo Gonzalez's door, who lives next to him on the other side. Together they directed a hose onto David's house, but the heat of the fire melted portions of the siding on his house, and on the other neighboring house.
Echeverria said his grandmother Gloria Gonzalez saw a body taken out of the house around 4:30 a.m.
He said he did not know the woman who rented the house at 160 Jersey very well.
Check back for more details as they become available.

Health and Wellbeing Centre confirmed to replace Orpington Hospital
6:21pm Thursday 29th November 2012 in Bromley By Heloise Wood, reporter
A NEW raft of health proposals for Orpington has been agreed.
Bromley Clinical Commissioning Committee (BCCC) has confirmed they do not believe the Orpington Hospital site is the right place to deliver future services from and instead they should be based at a new Health and Wellbeing Centre.
The decision to agree the changes was made at a public meeting at the Joint Boards of NHS South East London on November 29 although the final vote was cast only by Bromley primary care trust (PCT) members.
However the PCT also chose to delay the final decision over some services delivered from Orpington Hospital until the Secretary of State has responded to the Trust Special Administrator (TSA) Matthew Kershaw's report on South London Healthcare because there is some overlap between the two.
During the meeting the BCCC Chair Dr Andrew Parsons acknowledged public concern over the hospital and said there needed to be effective communications around the case for change.
He said: "We are confident the changes decided today are an opportunity to improve patient care by bringing together those services people need most often and delivering them closer to people's homes as well as having a strong focus in preventing illness and staying healthy."

Where's it going to be?
And as everyone guessed this is the green light to close Orpington hospital

They've been trying to close Orpington hospital for years and now they've got their way. So sad.
I suppose they will build yet more boxes to house yet more people who will need the non existent hospital services and full to bursting schools.

Still it makes perfect sense to close hospitals whilst building more and more 'homes for local' people doesn't it? :/

Alfonzo "Lonnie" Johnson (February 8, 1894 – June 6, 1970) was a pioneering blues and jazz singer/guitarist born in New Orleans, Louisiana. There is some dispute over the year of his birth, but 1894 is what appears on his passport. He was a pioneer of jazz guitar as the first to play single-string guitar solos. Raised in a family of musicians, Johnson studied violin and guitar as a child, but concentrated on the latter throughout his professional career.

A small brush fire started right around noon Friday at Racoa Avenue off Chamberlain Boulevard in the northwest part of Port Charlotte. Fire crews worked quickly and saved several homes from damage.
By the time fire crews arrived on scene, there was a thick black wall of smoke from heavy brush inside the 2 acre section of land.
"With that amount of fuel this fire had the potential to be very dangerous," said Dee Hawkins of Charlotte County Fire/EMS.
Luckily- there was very little wind, which helped firefighters get the fire under control quickly.
It also gave them time to protect nearby homes.
"They dug all this, they went all through there, and all up the side of my fence line," said homeowner Penny Shaer.
She says they saved her home.
"I think it would've gone into my yard and I think it would have gone up in their yard," said Shaer.
Officials say there are a few simple things you can do to protect your home.
"We're talking about removing any dead trees or shrubbery or anything like that, keeping those roofs and gutters clean is so important during brush season. An ember moving through the air has the potential to start your roof on fire," said Dee Hawkins of Charlotte County Fire/EMS.
The drought monitor shows parts of Charlotte County up into Sarasota County are the driest in Southwest Florida.

Feely has been impressive during his two seasons in Arizona. In 2011, he made 19-of-24 field goals, along with all 33 of his extra points. He also averaged 67.8 yards per kickoff, which tied for second-best in the NFL, and he didn't have any kickoffs returned for a TD. Feely ranked eighth in the league in net kickoff average.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"My save the date turned out beautiful! I added the pearl shimmer and it was a great touch. I got a ton of compliments from them and I thought the quality was great. The customer service was excellent, they were quick, and answered all questions I had. They were even able to add my wedding website in, which I was concerned about because it was a long URL. They even sent a card after thanking me for my business and congratulating me on my engagement. I will definitely be using Wedding Paper Divas for my Invitations, Thank yous and anything else I need. Also, I specifically recommend this save the date, it's gorgeous and showcases lots of pictures!"
"We love our Save the Dates! We've received so many compliments on these cards. Great design and quality! I was extremely impressed with Wedding Paper Diva's service and speed of delivery. I requested that a change be made on my proof, and I received an updated proof, with changes, within minutes. I approved the final proof on a Sunday, and I received the cards that very next Thursday. Very happy!"
"I received my Save the Dates yesterday, and they were all absolutely perfect. They arrived on time and in a beautifully presented stationary box, carefully packaged and each one of them was completely faultless, not a single speck or smudge. The designers worked with me and got every detail just how I wanted it, and as a result I now have a simple and sophisticated card to send out to my guests. They perfectly set the tone for an elegant wedding. I strongly recommend this design for brides that want a uniquely simple and classy design and aren't wanting to be tied to set themes, colours and motifs."
"I customized this elegant save the date card design to feature some of the most beautiful images from my engagement photoshoot. I selected the option of featuring four photographs on the back, customized the fonts to suit my wedding theme, and had the cards printed on the lovely shimmer paper. My fiancé and I were delighted when our order arrived in the mail: the end product was classy, chic, and beautiful. We were proud to mail our save the date cards last week, and the feedback thus far has exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this product."
"Just got my save the dates yesterday and I'm beyond excited with them! We wanted something simple with clean lines and this certainly fit the bill. We kept the color the same but added capital letters to the names per my fiance and added info about out website at the bottom. Everything fit nicely and still has the look of simplicity."

Was this carwash haunted?
A columnist writing for the Jarrow and Hebburn Gazette in England said he was asking for ghost stories from his readers when one in particular stood out. The story came in from a former carwash worker in England who said he, along with his former co-workers, believed the carwash to be haunted.
Reader Jimmy Swift told Mike Hallowell about the room where the containers of wax were stored.
"I walked into the room as normal, and went to get the first of the containers," Swift said. "Just as I was about to pick it up I suddenly felt very strange, as if I was being watched. ...I looked around but there was definitely no one else in there, so I just left. The next morning I went into the room again, and straight away I got the same feeling, as if someone was staring at me. This time I mentioned it to another lad who worked there, and he said, 'Why do you think the new person always gets that job? No one else will go in there – it's haunted.'
Photos: Grand Prix Car Wash ready for Halloween
Swift said soon after that he told his boss he was quitting. Upon quitting, his boss said he once found a dead dog in that same storage room.
Hallowell said he tried to contact the carwash, but it has since been closed down.
Perhaps, that's a good thing ...

"J.K. Rowling: Life After Potter" Australian SpecialNews
J.K. Rowling will be interviewed by Jennifer Byrne and discussing her post-Potter life on Australia's ABC network. This is solely an Australian special, titled J.K. Rowling: Life After Potter. The special will be shown on September 27, the day The Casual Vacancy is released, at 8:00 PM local Australian time on ABC1. The West Australian reports:
"This key interview will be a fantastic opportunity to learn more about J K Rowling's creative process," said Matt Hoy, Hachette sales and marketing director.
"The evolution of her new novel will be all the more exciting in Jennifer's hands, given her well-known passion for books and reading.
Katrina Sedgwick, ABC TV head of arts, said the interview will explore the author's new novel, as well as her past success.
"We are thrilled that Jennifer has been invited to do this interview and has the opportunity talk to J K in depth," she said.
"This is J K's first venture into the world of adult fiction and Jennifer will explore what new challenges she has faced in talking to this new audiences.
"The influence and impact of J K Rowling has been profound in bringing millions of children into the world of literature."

Someone please explain this f/8 brouhaha to me: my 5D3 + Kenko 1.4x tele-extender + 400 & 70-300 auto-focus (at f/8, pre-firmware update) all day long. I just downloaded the firmware update and will install it later today, but I've been auto-focusing just fine at f/8 for some time. Am I missing something?
The Kenko locks up the 5DIII when used with the latest generation telephotos, and you have to remove the battery to restart.
I found this to be true ONLY when AFMA is enabled. Otherwise, Kenko TC's autofocus fine at f/8 and did so prior to the 5D3 firmware update.
My car runs fine, except when I try to back up while turning - then the steering wheel locks up. But otherwise, it works fine. Maybe that fits some people's definition of 'works fine' - not mine.
But hey, if locking up with AFMA means the Kenko TC 'works' then you could also say the Canon 1.4x 'works' with the 70-300L. If you zoom the lens out to the 250-300mm range, the 1.4x TC can be mounted. It will AF on the 5DIII, you can AFMA the combo, and your camera won't lock up. Retracting the zoom will bump the rear lens element into the rubber ring on the TC, long as you keep the zoom extended, it 'works' just fine.

a really good word
I read this today and it blew my mind. SUCH a potent word from my dear and incredibly talented friend Ben Shive.
"Here's a sidebar about sidemen. The artist's ministry is to the audience; the sideman's ministry is to the artist. The artist carries a heavy burden, and when that gets too heavy the sideman carries the artist. It's Sam Gamgee work."
I've never thought about it like that. Makes me really thankful for all the Sam Gamgee's i've been able to play with over the years.
Golden Days Indeed
You guys are the best. For eel dough.
I can't tell you how much you guys made my week. It's been so awesome. It was like a surprise birthday party that lasted a week. THAT awesome. With Mint Chocolate Chip cake from Baskin Robbins. But the cake doesn't end. Yep. I told you.
Let me 'splain.
I was signed to Razor and Tie records for the last 6 years. It was an incredible experience. To have a team supporting me, helping fund both the albums and the tours was so helpful and great. Having people who have made a lot of records and worked with a lot of artists was a boost of momentum and wisdom that i wanted and was excited to have in my career.
Last year my recording relationship ended with R&T, and i'm SO proud to say ended on great terms.
I wrote a bunch of songs in the meantime, enough to record both a Christmas AND pop album, and actually recorded both of them in the span of a month last July. A ridiculous, challenging, and fun decision. Much like finding a prom date.
We released the Christmas album last October, and i was SO thrilled to see it make it's way into you guys homes and cars and phones. SO cool.
Last week I released the pop album, "Golden Days."
Let me be honest.
I had NO IDEA what to expect. Really. No clue.
My life, much like most of yalls, has changed. The days of me being on the road full time to support a release like this have gone, sadly. I have a family now, and the greatest job i have now is juggling this career - making and playing music -which has traditionally been such a road heavy one, and being home/being a husband/father and writing with and for other people. Which i LOVE, but is tricky, tricky, tr tr tr tricky. And don't worry - i'm gonna play shows, i always will, but i just can't be out like i used to, so it changes SO much in how people hear and know about the music and support what i do.
This plus being without a label, spreading the word is H-A-R-D. I run the risk of driving you guys crazy with tweets, Facebook barrages, Tumblr posts (ahem), etc. So - i did the best i could with not trying to annoy the crud out of yall while remembering how busy we all are and trying to make sure there were enough reminders to keep everyone aware.
And, BOOM, you guys showed up. Once again. You guys have not only bought it, but been SO kind in letting me know how you feel about it, and then telling your friends. The crazy truth for me these days is, YOU GUYS are my record label. YOU are my PR. You are my promotions department. And you have delivered.
It's a humbling/exciting realization knowing that my career is dependent upon people buying my music. REALLY scary. BUT - you guys have and are, and for that i get to keep making it. Keep writing it, recording it, staring out the window trying to find the right word/phrase/melody that hopefully moves you as much as it does me.
The music business is changing SO quickly. SO SO SO quickly. Just when you think you know how to get music to people, it changes. Just when you know how people want to consume music, it changes. My fear, to be honest, is that just when i know who my fans are and what they want from me, that will change.
I've been so encouraged this week, because while we are all changing, and music and everything involved is changing, you guys have stayed the same. You have showed up once again to buy my album and tell your friends. Thanks for doing that.
Thank you thank you thank you.
I really love this record, and i loved making it.
Thanks for caring about it too.
MUCH love and gratitude,
Dave #34
AND - one last time - here it is if you haven't gotten it!

We gravitated toward this contrasting, graphic track design. Originally, we made the enamel inlay solid, but it didn't read as well. Now that it's transparent, you can see the textured metal for a richer effect." — Cher Coulter 3 / 10 JewelMint Spring Collection What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I love the intricate floral design of this bottle necklace which was originally inspired by the Pomander Pendant.

Topaz is also known for healing, promoting truth and forgiveness, and brings out trust in the universe." — Cher Coulter 6 / 10 JewelMint Spring Collection What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "We wanted to do a statement bangle that wasn't too thick. This started off with layering squares on top of each other and molding it into a shape that had a bohemian edge. Kate and I decided to wrap thread around the piece to make it look like you bought it in Morocco. The candy colored threads also pick up on colors we've seen on runways shows, like Preen, and is a great contrast to the classic JewelMint oxidized gold.

However, the original colors didn't seem very modern or youthful.

Sorry about your experience. hug98 2 years I wanted to love JewelMint but I was really not impressed with the earrings I purchased, nor the process of the website. The earrings I bought looked really cute online, but were HUGE. Like half the size of my head huge. I wanted to return them, but they charge a "restocking" fee and by that point it was really not worth it. Also, to sign up, they charge you $30 a month to go towards jewelry, but after fifteen minutes of searching, I could not figure out how to "opt out" of getting charged that month. Way to complicated a process for a jewelry website in my opinion.

Boone County —
A candlelight vigil remembered Zionsville Community High School senior Dean Barrett who died unexpectedly Wednesday.
According to a Hamilton County Sheriff's Department press release, Barrett, 18, was spending the night with a friend in the Homeplace area of Carmel. When the friend woke up, Barrett was unresponsive and the friend drove Barrett to St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis where he was pronounced dead. An investigation is ongoing and the cause of death was not released.
Carter Speer, 18, organized the vigil to honor his friend of 12 years.
"I was talking with some of our friends, and we felt that this is what Dean would have wanted," he said. "He was always about relationships and always wanted to bring people together."
A celebration of Barrett's life and faith will be noon Saturday at Eagle Church. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. until the time of service. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Dean Barrett Passport Adventure Missions Scholarship Fund, c/o Old National Bank, 385 S. Main St., Zionsville, IN 46077.

Tap at Murray's Manly. From notes.
A - Poured black with minimal carbonation. Two fingers of beige head on top left a film of retention and good lace rings.
S - Belgian-y yeast, fruity dark malts, nice roast.
T - Fruity, roasty, coffee, that Belgian style yeast is present again. Tasty.
M - Farily bitter, good carbonation, medium body.
O/D - Fairly tasty and definitely different for a black IPA. Not something I'd seek out or session and something about it makes the drinkability lack. Worth a try though since it seems to be quite hard to find. For the style, I wouldn't rank it too highly.

On tap at Murrays at Manly. From notes.
Pours a black body - one finger head dies quite quickly - sheet lace.
Aromas are muted due to serving temo - some roast, hops, chocolate.
then WHAM!!! BLAM!!!! in your face taste. I like big beers but this took me by surprise. I had just finished a Libertine - quite delicate and quite frankly the assault of hops, bitter roast, dark choc was all a bit of an exercise of More is Less.
Mouthfeel OK - medium bodied, moderate carbonation.
Just a bit too big.

Deep mahogany, nice clear red hue when held to light. Super stable lightly tanned head. Good looker.
Good mix of hop and malt aromas. Up front is some floral hops. Swirl it around and give it a sniff and some nice chocolate and coffee aromas are revealed. Some light smoke seems to hide in the background as well.
That's one big complex beer. Full on right from the start. Huge robust malt character gives the palate a whack. Big roast and almost acrid dryness. By this time the hops weigh in with a good dose of their own bitterness. Finishes with that battle for supremacy between malt and hops. Which will be the first to conquer your taste buds.
That kind of sums up this beer. A huge punishing exercise. Well, maybe not that tough. It does seem to have a lot of the rough edges that are admired about this style without the softer more enjoyable aspects. That may be exactly what they were going for, and it has been done well. But there are other examples that I prefer to this one.

a) 3cm beige rocky head. Deep, dark brown.
s) Some fruity nose, perhaps pineapple, but supported by cocoa, giving a fresh cigar aroma.
t) Chocolate malts, with a resiny spiciness of late hops. I'm not a particular fan of this style, but the flavours are well-balanced.
m) Silky smooth, porter-like.
d) Sweetness & bitterness are good partners, particularly in DIPAs, RISs, Barley Wines. But chocolate with bitter herbals is unusual. Worth trying just for the experience.

pours very dark, gorgeous thick head, with long froth retention.
smelled light hints of freshly toasted dark rye and espresso coffee
tasted espresso coffee, pepper on the tip of the tongue, and dark chocolate on the back. High ABV (for me) sets foot into unpleasant bitter territory, resulting in a beer that must be sipped.
Mouthfeel - while it's in your mouth it's not unpleasant, but due to the high ABV, once you've swallowed, be prepared for your mouth to feel the aftereffects of cheap bourbon.
Overall, this beer is as dark and foreboding as it appears - not for the fainthearted. Impressive looks, but I wrangled with the taste and mouthfeel all the way to the last gritty drop.

A - Deep cola colour, plenty of carbonation, a decent cream coloured porous head, webs of lacing.
S - Big tropical fruit hop aroma, pineapple prominent.
T - Beautifully balance between the bitter tropical hops and burnt chocolate. Some distant coffee bean. Delish.
M - Crisp, thinnish in body. Highly carbonated. Dry finish.
O - Very easy to drink. Highly sessionable for the ABV. Wish I had another one. Dont let the silly label put you off, check this out if you get the chance.

2.78/5 rDev -26.8%
A relative non-event. Excess fizz distracted me from the get-go. Roast is mid weight and of course does get dominated by the hops but I guess that's the intent of the style to some degree. Gets a touch resiny and sweet on the finish, again a function of the hops

Pours ruby-tinted black, with a large, light tan head.
Nose shows lots of fruity hops, with passion-fruit and peach very noticeable, along with some soft resinous pine. Later on some cocoa and roasted malt become apparent. Very nice.
Very aggressive flavours, lots of pine, roasted malt, coffee and alcohol. Ends with a brutal hoppy and roasty bitterness.
Carbonation seems a little high to me.

This pours dark brown with a generous beige head. Nice lacing.
I was expecting, fearing, really aggressive hops on the nose. They are assertive but not OTT. A little chocolate peeks its head out from behind as well.
On the palate you get the impression that the hops are going to overwhelm with bitterness but then it gets pulled back by what I can only guess is the malt sweetness. Nice.
Medium bodied. Much more sweetness than I was expecting.
Couldn't go more than 1 in a session but with flavours this big who needs more than one?

Like the name and it pours a mahogany hue with cherry highlights and leaves a two finger frothy head and heaps of nice clingy lacing,the smell is piney hops,candy and a touch of mocha but not much just mostly piney hops,the mouthfeel is light-medium bodied and has tastes of piney hops,dark bittersweet chocolate,piney hops,fruit salad,caramel and finished with a piney hop,citrus bitterness and overall a very drinkable brew that with a few tweaks im sure could be alot better but definately worth a taste.

Thanks to Mr Kennedy for sourcing. Drunk from a De Dolle stemmed tulip.
Deep bronze when poured, chocolate brown in the glass. Finger of tight beige head. Respectable raised ring of lace and film remain.
Pine-lime splice (do they still make these?), licquorice and chocolate milk. Roasted malt is dialled in nicely so as not to kneecap the hops. Marred slightly by some plasticy character.
Absolutely nothing is lost in the taste. Also detect stewed fruits, spearmint and mild pine oil.
Smooth on the front palate, but slightly sizzly carbonation builds on the mid. Nice mellow bitterness.
Probably the most instantly likeable of the style I've tried so far, largely because the roast malt is restrained, allowing the very Murray's-esque fruity, confectionery hop character to show through, which I for one really dig.

4.03/5 rDev +6.1%
330ml bottle purchased from Warners at the Bay and poured into a Redoak globe style glass.
Pours a deep brown/black colour that allows some light to peek through. Has a tan coloured head of foam that poured to two fingers and settled at a half centimetre level for a long as it lasted.
Initial smell was pine, this gave way quickly to fruit salad and halfway through chocolate became apparent.
Taste is of hop resin up front and late in the piece chocolate comes through. The resin, anyway, is not what you expect when you smell this ale.
Mouthfeel is more bitter and harsh than the rest of the beer indicates it ought to be. Yes it is bitter, can deal with that, but the harshness throughout the mouth does detract.
Not as good as i recall the tap-only version brewed about 12 months ago, but still a very good beer.

Suprisingly clear, brown colour when held up to light with a creamy light tan head. Fair head retention and lacing.
Dank hoppy aroma redolent with pine and grapefruit. Very little malt. Not really any roast.
Bright and hoppy with just a slightly tart, almost coffee like edge to the malt. Distinct tropical NZ hop character with some passionfruit coming through though the hop character is much more oily than fresh.
Medium-light body with moderate carbonation Good.
A solid ABA with lots of hop character and the black malt notes kept to a minimum.

A - Poured with 3cm of beige head atop a very dark brown beer.
S - Floral and light citrus hops along with a coffee and slight chocolate note.
T - the hops are a lot more noticeable in the taste, tropical fruitiness and floral aromas also with some coffe and chocolate touches.
M - Medium bodied and medium carbonation with a fairly noticeable bitterness.
D - Not really a session beer but a very nice beer which I'm hoping they'll do again. Murrays continue to impress with the monthly special releases.

Had on tap at the brewery
A-- Poured black with a bit of red on the sides of the glass. A mostly mocha colored film, no real head to speak of. Was told that they were almost out of this and were surprised they had any today.
S-- Chocolate was predominant but got a bit of the citrus and hop smell. What was there was lemon with tropical fruits.
T-- Excellent. Plain and simple. Was hop forward with citrus (lemon and grapefruit) with a bit of pineapple. Followed by a nice chocolate finish.
M-- Excellent carbonation. Very well balanced between the malts and the hops. Not over the top like some US IPA's can be. Very nice beer.
D-- Was surprised it was still available. Worth it in every way. Better than the Southern Tier only due to freshness but I liked the Tier more due to the malts being more forward and the hops being softer. Third Australian beer that has wowed me in a big way. Bummer it was a seasonal. Murrays puts out some excellent stuff and worth looking for or visiting the brewery if you get a chance.

Ooh, such excitement surrounded this, I'd had a month of FebFast and hype leading up to the pivotal moment, drinking it the first day of tapping at the Local Taphouse. I was of course setting myself up for a fall with the expectations, but tried to stay objective.
Pours a dark colour, inky with a burgundy red tinge around the edge. Head is dark mocha cream-coloured, densely packed together and sinks to a thin film. The film sticks around well though. Lace is pretty impressive, gorgeous stickiness around the glass. A great-looking dark beer.
Nose is very sweet at first with huge tangy hops on it. An intense sherbet character with notes of pineapple, lemon and honey. A slight chocolatey undertone is revealed, just in an underlying richness, but it's all overlain with a really fresh, floral hoppiness. Overall sweet but not overly so, really unique and interesting aroma. I like it a lot.
Taste is more of the same but lessened. Lots of that tangy hop with more lemon sherbet notes, pineapple and a dollop of egg custard (flavour, I mean). Black roastiness comes through towards the back, very subtle with some dark chocolate notes, and a very slight charred meat sourness. Kind of falls slightly short on the finish as far as roastiness but is helped by a lingering hoppiness which is good, but could be a bit more bitter to cleanse.
Mouthfeel has a fair amount of body in spite of being a bit thin. I guess I'd call it slick, goes down very well but not without making its presence felt.
This is a really interesting brew, a nice balance between the pungent hop freshness and the deeper notes of the dark malt. Hugely drinkable, everything is in moderation but enough to give you a taste ride. I approve heartily of the attempt at brewing something different. I don't blame Shawn, I applaud him.

Murray's "India Dark Ale", a "full flavoured IPA brewed using dark malts", and named after (blamed on?) their head brewer. Tried on tap at The Local Taphouse in Darlinghurst.
Not really black, a deep dark garnet ruby colour with a thick and frothy head of eggshell off-white. Lacing is excellent. Body looks fine, but not very heavy. Looks great, in fact.
Big hoppy nose, unfortunately with a hint of those butterscotchy hops I can never quite place. Otherwise full of sweet and heavy fruit fragrance. Quite potent and very off-kilter for the appearance.
Taste is unique and odd. Big sweet hop presence at the front as though the flavours on the nose are the vanguard of the beer's forces. This is replaced as it continues with a surprisingly clean roasted grain character, which in some odd converse way, cleans up the heavy hop notes. Mouthfeel is very smooth which is really quite pleasant, and adds another layer of surprise to this already surprising and challenging brew.
A truly unique brew, although a style that seems to be on the ascent. Drinkable and unusual.

Histidine amino acid information page
Histidine is an essential amino acid, manufactured in sufficient quantities in adults, but children may at some time have a shortage of this important vitamin. It is one of the basic (reference to pH factor) amino acids due to its aromatic nitrogen-heterocyclic imidazole side chain. This amino acid is metabolized into the neurotransmitter histamine and the set of genes that produce the enzymes responsible for histidine synthesis.
on this page
Histidine is required for
Histidine is also a precursor of histamine, a compound released by immune system cells during an allergic reaction.
It is needed for growth and for the repair of tissue, as well as the maintenance of the myelin sheaths that act as protector for nerve cells.
It is further required for the manufacture of both red and white blood cells, and helps to protect the body from damage caused by radiation and in removing heavy metals from the body.
In the stomach, histidine is also helpful in producing gastric juices, and people with a shortage of gastric juices or suffering from indigestion, may also benefit from this nutrient.
Deficiency of histidine
None known, but it is reported that an increase in the intake of this nutrient helps with the lengthening of orgasms and also more intense sexual enjoyment.
The dosage listed is the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA), but be aware that this dosage is the minimum that you require per day, to ward off serious deficiency of this particular nutrient. In the therapeutic use of this nutrient, the dosage is usually increased considerably, but the toxicity level must be kept in mind.
Some people take 1,000 mg of histidine two to three times per day in capsule or tablet form but it is best to work out the dosage requirements as 8-10 mg per day per kilogram of body weight.
Toxicity and symptoms of high intake
There are no reported side effects with histidine, but too high levels of histidine may lead to stress and mental disorders such as anxiety and people with schizophrenia have been found to have high levels of histidine.
People suffering from schizophrenia or bipolar (manic) depression should not take a histidine supplement without the approval of their medical professional.
Best used with
Best taken with vitamin B3 (niacin) and B6 (pyridoxine).
When more may be required
Although not conclusively proven – it is thought that histidine may be beneficial to people suffering from arthritis and nerve deafness.
Other interesting points
Histidine is also used for sexual arousal, functioning and enjoyment.
Histidinemia is an inborn error of the metabolism of histidine due to a deficiency of the enzyme histidase, where high levels of histidine are found in the blood and urine, and may manifest in speech disorders and mental retardation.
Food sources of histidine
Dairy, meat, poultry and fish are good sources of histidine as well as rice, wheat and rye.
Histidine found in the following Zest for Life products

A traveling hospital worker accused of stealing drugs and infecting patients with hepatitis C through contaminated syringes is facing a federal court appearance in New Hampshire.
David Kwiatkowski, whom prosecutors describe as a "serial infector," was indicted last week on 14 charges -- seven counts of tampering with a consumer product and seven counts of illegally obtaining drugs.
He's scheduled to be arraigned at 2 p.m. Monday.
Until May, Kwiatkowski worked as a cardiac technologist at Exeter Hospital, where 32 patients were diagnosed with the same strain of hepatitis C he carries. Before that, he worked in 18 hospitals in seven states. Patients in Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania have since been tested for hepatitis C.
Kwiatkowski has said he's innocent.

Tuesday, May 11, 2010
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga.-- The mystery of who would be the Dougherty County School System's 2010-11 Teacher of the Year winner soon was solved as Superintendent Sally Whatley mentioned that the recipient came from a family of educators.
Both of Lamar Reese Magnet School of the Arts fifth-grade math teacher Stephen Davis' parents are educators, and two of his brothers work for the school system.
Davis, 34, couldn't stop beaming and fidgeted with excitement Tuesday night as Whatley described the winning teacher, making it more apparent with each sentence that Davis would be named. He was the third male teacher to win in the award's 25-year history and may be the least experienced teacher to win the title, as he began teaching in Dougherty County in January 2008 after teaching online college courses for four years.
"That was a shocking announcement. That was downright amazing. I'm still shaking," said Davis, a former stock trader who engages his students through hand movements, gestures and songs to help math make sense. "(It's) so surprising because it came so quick.
"It's like winning a championship as a rookie."
Even though he said he was honored to receive the award, Davis said he will use it as a motivational tool to help him reach even more students who struggle with math. Davis' teaching paid off quickly for Lamar Reese. After taking Principal Valerie Thomas' vision of having Davis teach his fourth-grade class fifth-grade-level math as well, the school's math scores improved 65 percentage points on the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests in 2009. More than 43 percent of those students exceeded the standard. His hybrid Making Math Make Sense program may be added throughout the system.
"I look at the tenure of all the retiring educators and you just see that after three years, there's still so much to do and so many children to help," he said. "I can't wait to do it. To this point even with all the success we've had, it hasn't been hard.
"You think to accomplish something it's all this blood, sweat and tears, but when you love what you do, the impossible becomes easily realistic."
Davis was chosen over seven other educators who averaged 18.6 years of teaching experience. The finalists were Westover Comprehensive Choral Director Selina Bentley, Sherwood Acres second-grade teacher Tammy Gregors, Northside reading intervention teacher Angelyn Brooks Hammack, Martin Luther King Jr. second-grade teacher Nichelle Hightower, Live Oak fourth-grade teacher Linda Sowell Johnson, Magnolia kindergarten teacher Chanda Lea Phillips and Alice Coachman second-grade teacher Stephanie Wilkerson.
The eight finalists were selected by an in-house school system committee and the teacher of the year was selected from that eight-teacher field by a group of nine community leaders independent of the school system who observed each of the teachers in action.
During his acceptance speech, Davis thanked his parents, John and Iris Davis; Whatley; Deputy Superintendent Carlos Keith; Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction Dianne Daniels; Lamar Reese Principal Thomas, and all the other educators in the school system.
"I'm extremely proud of him," Whatley said of Davis. "He will represent us all extraordinarily well."
John I. Davis, the principal at South Georgia Regional Achievement Center, said he was pleased with his son's accomplishment. The honor came with a $1,000 check contributed by the event's 21 sponsors.
"My wife and I are Ph.Ds and we challenged all the boys (Stephen Davis is the second youngest of their five sons) to make a greater investment in humanity than we did, and the only way to do that is to put yourself in a position to make that difference" said John Davis, a 42-year educator. "When I see these guys accomplish the things they have, I have to reflect on all the hours these boys spent in church during their formative years."
Iris Davis, who was a 31-year educator herself, remembered her son Stephen being interested in math when he was a child.
"He's always been involved in creative learning," she said. "As a child, he always found ways to do math. I'm very excited and proud of him and his accomplishment. I look forward to him accomplishing more."
Stephen Davis' win means he will represent Dougherty County in the 2012 Georgia Teacher of the Year competition.
At 7 p.m. Friday at the Georgia Aquarium, Lee County High School journalism, English and composition teacher Coni Grebel will be competing for the 2011 Georgia Teacher of the Year Award. One of 10 finalists, Grebel is believed to be the first Lee County teacher to be named a state finalist.
Sumter County Elementary Math, Science & Technology Academy third-grade teacher Laura Gerlach also was named a finalist for the state Teacher of the Year award.
Colquitt County High School social studies teacher Gwen Desselle currently holds the 2010 Georgia Teacher of the Year honor.
