Poured into a standard pint a deep cola brown with a thin wispy beige head that was gone ver quickly.The Kona coffee really shines in the aroma along with some roasted nut,mollases,and even a passing shot of piney hop,flavors are heavily roasted and coffee-like with some bitter unsweetened chocolate,finishes with some mollases and a bit of earth.Not overly complex but the coffee is nice and it went well with some bbq smoked sausage I had for lunch.

Poured into a nonic tumbler from a 12oz. bottle.
A: Poured a very dark typical porter color, with a paper thin off white head. Lacing was slighty clingly but spotty.
S: Upon opening the flavors were hard to pick up, as it warmed it was sweet with roasted malt and coffee that began to increase.
T: The coffee was present but took a while to characterize itself especially since it is supposed to be coffee infused beer. The malts and coffee were there just not enough as I had expected or wanted.
M: The beer was thinner than I would have liked especially for the style. Much more carbonation than I expected which hurt the overall flavors imho.
D: If you enjoy thinner porters with above average "fizz" you might enjoy this more. I think it is easy drinking but disappointing needs more body.

I don't know what I was expecting with this beer, but it turned out to be pretty good. In a pint glass it was a reddish brown color with a thin tan head. It had a sweet, roasted grain aroma. The taste was sweet chocolate and coffee, mostly coffee. Pleasant mouthfeeel, could drink a few of these.
I used a bottle of this in a short ribs recipe, and the ribs were excellent.

12 oz bottle. Pours dark brown with ruby highlights. It has a frothy tan head that quickly goes to a ring that leaves some lacing.
The aroma is roasted chocolate and coffee and some grains.
The flavor is subdued chocolate and coffee with some lactose. The mouthfeel is medium and watery.
Overall, not a bad coffeee porter. It's a nice drinkable brew, but there are better coffee beers out there.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. The label has a bottled on date of "091009" notched on to it and I sampled it on 11-6-09.
Appearance: It pours quite dark with a brown/black color and an average size tan head. The head hangs on well and make nice slippery lace on the glass.
Smell: The aroma is sweet like brown sugar with some roasted and toasted notes as well. Hop notes are very light and subdued.
Taste/Palate: Its flavor has mellow hints of brown sugar, roasted barley, burnt wood, and roasted coffee with cream. The finish comes quickly with some mellow spicy hops and solid dark roasted coffee notes fading off the tongue. It is a light to medium body porter with a creamy texture and lively carbonation.
Notes: This is a very tasty very sweet and easy drinking stout that would make a great session beer or breakfast beer.

A- Pours a near black, near opaque color with a small tan head which leaves light lacing.
S- Not a whole lot there, some sweet malt and hits of cocoa and coffee but not as much as I had expected.
T- Some roasty almost smoke like character with a nice amount of malt sweetness and very subdued coffee character which is barely noticeable.
M- Feels just how a porter should, fairly low carbonation but enough that its noticeable and moderately high in body it sits in the mouth just the right way for the sweetness.
D- Would love for there to have been a bit bolder characteristics in the nose and especially on the tongue but overall its a solid beer I could drink all night.

12oz brown bottle with a packaged on freshness date.
Billowing light brown head towers over the nearly black liquid, good head retention as well. Smells strong of dark roasted coffee, dark unsweetened chocolate and a hint of wood charcoal. Smooth with a lush medium body. Firm coffee flavor from the start holds on to the palate for a long time, firm but not dominant. Malt sweetness chimes in with a quick but faint burnt sugar flavor, then it all goes towards a mild roasted grain tone. The modest hopping lets the coffee shine. Finishes bitter sweet like an iced espresso.
Good stuff here. Certainly not in your face but it does capture the coffee flavor that most brewers seem to miss by either not having enough or becoming too acrid. Very well balanced.

Thanks to skyhand for this one...
Dark brown, bordering black with less than 1/2 finger of off-white head...thin, spotty lacing as I sip away.
Very nice coffee scent with some caramel and chocolate.
Quite tasty...generous robust coffee addition to this brew and very well balanced with the addition of milk chocolate, sweet malt and a hop bitterness.
Not thin in the m/f for the style...a nice breakfast beer if one was inclined to do so.
Easy, enjoyable drinking here...well worth trying.

Appearance: clear, leather brown in color, small head, high carbonation
Smell: roasted malt and coffee
Taste: coffee, toasted malt, dark chocolate and a bit of cream
Mouthfeel: moderate carbonation, sweet, medium-light bodied
Drinkability: This is the best beer I have had from Kona and I wish I could get it more easily here. I could have six. I love the multiple layers of coffee and chocolate. This has a different taste than most in the style.

How you get your state tax refund this year is changing. That check in the mail is no longer an option.
Now you will have to choose between direct deposit or your tax refund on a debit card.
However, according to the Virginia Department of Taxation, there are fees - and that's bringing a mixed reaction.
According to the department, getting rid of the paper checks will save The Commonwealth $200,000 a year. It's a new program that many people don't even know about.
"I think it's going to be a learning curve," said Maureen Goode. She works for MetroCash, an organization that offers free tax filing assistance. She said not everyone can use direct deposit.
"There are people that do not have bank accounts - we call them unbanked," she said. "I think they're going to be a little bit concerned about the card."
The card works like a debit account, so users should beware of incurring fees. Those could come from making a withdrawal from some ATMs or from not activating or using the card in a certain amount of time.
Robin Irby received a check for years, but she says she can adapt to the change.
"Because, you know, checks get lost in the mail. Then you have so many problems with the check," said Irby.
Bonita Thomas is a bit more reluctant.
"It's just easier and I like to see the money instead of putting it in the bank or whatever. I like to know what I'm going to do with it," said Thomas.
She doesn't like the idea of any card fees.
"That means I'm losing money and at this day and time with the way things are in the economy every dollar helps," she said.
There are ways to withdraw your money without paying any fees. State leaders maintain this is a much safer way when it comes to getting your tax refund.
According to tax leaders, Xerox will pay for administering this card. The company hopes to recoup the costs through those fees and payments from retailers using the card.

KSP Highway Safety Branch News Release
Twelve Highway Deaths On Kentucky Roads Last Week (Feb 2 - Feb 8, 2009)
Date of News Release: 02/09/09
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that twelve people died in eleven separate crashes on Kentucky roadways from Monday, February 2 through Sunday, February 8, 2009.
Ten of the crashes involved motor vehicles and seven of those victims were not wearing seat belts. The seat belt status of one victim is unknown at this time. Single-vehicle crashes occurred in Grant, Harlan, Henderson (2), Lawrence, Pendleton, Pike (2) and Simpson counties. Three of these crashes involved the suspected use of alcohol.
One double-fatality crash occurred in Trigg county. A vehicle driven by Toni L. Pelcha was traveling westbound on Interstate 24 when for unknown reasons crossed over the median. After crossing the median Ms. Pelcha's vehicle struck a vehicle operated by William Andrew McKinnon, of Helena, GA, on the eastbound side of the interstate. Both vehicles came to final rest on the eastbound shoulder of the interstate. Trigg County coroner, John Mark Vincent, pronounced Ms. Toni L. Pelcha, of Millington, TN, and Mr. Robert R. Mullins Jr, of Oak Grove, KY, deceased on the scene.
There was one pedestrian fatality that occurred in Fayette county and the suspected use of alcohol is a factor in this death.
Through February 8, preliminary statistics* indicate that 69 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2009. This is 2 fewer than reported for this time period in 2008. Of the 65 motor vehicle fatalities, 34 victims were not wearing seat belts. Four pedestrian have been killed. A total of 17 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

SB Nation's Spencer Hall examines rooting interests for the casual fan in Saturday's Stanford-Notre Dame game:
Notre Dame's been kicked in the teeth late in games two weeks in a row, but for a refreshing change of pace they'll probably get a refreshing early kick in the teeth from a far superior Stanford team. This means the Irish play the part of underdogs in theory, but following the divine retribution handed out to Mark Dantonio for calling a fake field goal to beat Notre Dame, consider: do you really want to watch Jim Harbaugh turned into a pillar of salt for beating the Irish by thirty on their home field? You do? That's...that's pretty gangster of you, actually. Respect to the iciness, and to your Hammurabian, Old Testament-steezy vengeance kick. You're clearly an emotionally mature person, which you'll have to be to handle the number of losses Notre Dame is going to take early this year.

If you have trouble remembering to take your daily pill regimen, there's a new pill that actually lets you know whether or not you've taken it that day.
The technology places tiny silicon chips in each pill that contain magnesium and copper. That mix of metals generates an electric charge when its exposed to stomach acid.
That charge makes its way to a patch on the skin, which transmits a notification that the pill has been taken to your doctor.
So far, the FDA has only approved the device for use with placebos.

Precipitation was less than half of normal across our area in November. The total precipitation was only 1.44" at our weather station in Otego.
Despite the unusually mild weather during the first half of November, temperatures were so far below normal during the last two weeks
It looks like a strong northwesterly flow aloft will continue to bring cold air from central Canada during the upcoming week, as the storm tracks stays well to the west and south. This equals a continuation of a generally dry weather pattern.
December began with very cold air funneling southward around the west side of a major Great Lakes storm, and with a strong northwesterly flow. As the storm pulled northward to Lake Huron by afternoon, there were snow showers as far south as the northwest suburbs of Atlanta.
At the same time, a warm front crossed the northern Rockies, followed by very strong westerly winds that gusted to over 60 MPH in north central Montana, bringing unseasonably mild air.
On Friday a northwest flow of cold air will take over again, with partly sunny skies and highs in the low 30's. WeÆll get a few lake-effect snow showers but the accumulating snow will stay to our north and west. Skies will be partly sunny again on Saturday, with only a few snow showers and highs just 27 to 32 degrees.
A major ocean storm will intensify well east of Cape Cod on Sunday, while an upper-level trough slides across the eastern Great Lakes. After a few snow showers in the morning, skies will be partly sunny in the afternoon with highs only 25 to 30 degrees. Partly sunny skies will continue on Monday with highs in the low 30's. A storm system will move west of the region on Tuesday bringing milder air and the chance of rain or wet snow.

- Weather watch The Susquehanna River level will be unusually low for the General Clinton Canoe Regatta during Memorial Day weekend.
- Weather Watch It's really uncanny how the very dry weather pattern has continued in this area despite the succession of major storms that have moved to the west and south.
- Weather Watch Now that north has become a synonym for sunshine and south has become a synonym for rain, there's no way that this extremely dry weather pattern can change at least for the next four weeks.
- Weather Watch March was the third straight month with below normal precipitation, and it looks like April will also turn out to be drier than normal.
- Weather Watch Temperatures were near normal in March, with precipitation around an inch below normal.
- Weather Watch On Friday a major storm will move to the Ohio Valley, while high pressure builds southward from eastern Canada. Skies will be partly sunny with highs from 55 to 60 degrees.
- Weather Watch When it's warmer to the north and cooler to the south, it's so easy to get into an extremely dry weather pattern in Otsego County. The weather forecast in last week's weather column was more optimistic than other local weather forecasts, but the weather was actually much better than even we predicted.
- Weather Watch The jet stream will shift southward this week and a series of low pressure systems will move well to our south.
- Weather Watch Exactly as we predicted at the beginning of the month, it was one of the driest Februaries on record in Otsego County and throughout most of central and eastern New York. Thanks to the extreme upside-down temperature pattern with much warmer weather in Montana than in Georgia, and strong winds on Monday and Tuesday, an extremely dry weather pattern will be the theme for at least the next two to three weeks.
- Weather Watch Exactly as we've been predicting for the past month, this is turning out to be an exceptionally dry February - one of the driest on record in central and eastern New York.

Shane Battier was an original member of the Memphis Grizzlies, having been drafted by the franchise in 2001 as it relocated from Vancouver to Tennessee. In 2006, the Grizzlies traded him to Houston for Rudy Gay. But the Rockets sent him back this season, for Hasheem Thabeet. In the interim, Memphis didn't make a single postseason.
Battier's back, and so are the playoffs for Memphis. And Shane came up huge for the Grizzlies, nailing the game-winning three-pointer over the San Antonio Spurs with 10 seconds left in Game 1.
It was quite a turn of events, as Memphis looked like it was choking away a sure win by missing free throws and giving up open dagger threes to Matt Bonner. But Tony Allen sparked a run to get Memphis back in play, and Battier pushed the Grizzlies back on top. San Antonio struggled to get a good shot off at the other end, with Richard Jefferson eventually bricking a three with time expiring.
Game 2 of Spurs vs. Grizzlies is Wednesday in San Antonio.

It's slow going for early voting in Albany. 11,000 people are registered to vote in Wards II and III, but just a little more than 100 of them have voted so far in those two contested city commission races.
The Elections Supervisor is surprised turnout is so low. The office has received 34 absentee ballots and just broke the 100 mark of voters this morning even though it's the third week of early voting.
"I believe the candidates are doing their part to make sure the voters are aware they are running for office, and there is an election," said Ginger Nickerson, Election Supervisor. "I just can't really answer why they haven't come out yet. But we're still waiting on them."
Early voting for municipal elections around the state runs through Friday. The downtown offices will be open from 8:30am till 5pm.
Election day is next Tuesday, and the polls will be open from 7am to 7pm.
Call 311 or (229)431-3247 for questions about your voting eligibility.

Colemanwatch 2014 continues. To the roundtable, Knights!
There had been some speculation about this, but looking at this logically, it didn't really make a lot of sense. Jamison had a good season, and is an improving player, but he had trouble staying healthy this year, and could have definitely improved his stock with a good 2013. Some would argue that this year's crop of RBs is going to be weak, but I still don't really see Jamison being a high pick. If he came back and had a strong 2013, his stock would have probably risen to the third round range. Perhaps Jamison sees his stock rising during the pre-draft workout process, or is worried about the well-documented short shelf live for running backs in the pros. Rutgers should be fine with former blue chipper Savon Huggins starting, who did look good in his limited opportunities this season. The problem is more behind him, where the team has walk-on Paul James, speedster Ben Martin, and spark plug Des Peoples, none of whom have seen especially a lot of in game action. That doesn't mean that they can't play, but this definitely will open up the competition in April. Dontae Ayres is signed for this year's class, and there's always the possibility that Rutgers could try to get back into the mix with some other RB prospects as well. Sure, this is a loss. Jawan Jamison is a good player, and although I think Huggins probably has more raw talent, Jamison's slashing running style was a better fit for Kyle Flood's offense than Huggins, who is more of a straight-ahead type. It's not devastating though. It'll be tough, but Huggins can fill Jamison's shoes. Losing a potential first round pick in Logan Ryan, at a spot where Rutgers is hurting for depth looms as a far bigger loss.
Every year the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has great draft coverage where they directly pull comments from scouts. They mostly have positive things to say about Sanu - he's smart (with a good wonderlic), tough, will do the dirty work etc..., but give him a solid second round grade because of concerns about his athleticism. That unfortunately seems likely given the depth at receiver in this year's draft. Sanu is ranked 7th among WR prospects, below big time question marks like Alshon Jeffery and Stephen Hill. That seems like a failure of expected value. With Sanu, you know he's going to turn into a Muhsin Muhammad-type who will sting around the NFL forever. A few of these other ones, teams are gambling that they will turn into stars instead of fourth receivers. Update: here are some more comments in a similar vein.
Which team will draft Mohamed Sanu?
It would be nice to have more draft content now, but the ongoing NFL labor dispute is really putting a cramp on the flow of information right now. One bit of news is that Pro Football Weekly projects Lefeged to go in the fifth round this weekend. PFW annually surveys scouts around the NFL to build a loose projection of each player's stock. The latter part of the NFL draft is pretty much a crapshoot depending on each individual team's value board and roster needs, so most likely Lefeged will be picked at some point on day three. Rutgers fans still have fond memories of Lefeged breaking onto the field as freshman via Coach Schiano's package emphasizing blitzers coming out of the defensive backfield. He was a solid starter over the past few years. Maybe a few coverage mishaps in 2010, but that was really exacerbated as the front seven on defense wore down and wasn't able to generate enough of a pass rush to bail the secondary out on a consistent basis. Good guy though, and Lefeged also had a great 2010 as a kick returner. He possesses excellent straight line speed. Between KR duties, and Schiano's continued emphasis on blocking punts and kicks, Lefeged should not have much trouble sticking on a roster as a rookie special teamer. That's really a player's ticket into the NFL if they aren't going to be an immediate starter. Special teams coupled with good workout numbers make PFW's fifth round projection a realistic possibility. Most of the other Rutgers draft hopefuls will probably have to prove themselves as undrafted free agents, although players like Alex Silvestro should get decent chances to prove themselves on the next level. RU for the most part will take a step back though from the draft this year after producing several impressive hauls as of late. Rising seniors like Manny Abreu, Justin Francis, and David Rowe should be in heavier demand next spring
Linked above is a story from last week about Joe's training regiment. Most reviews haven't been kind to Joe Lefeged at the Senior Bowl practices, although there isn't much out there. I have heard that he looked to be in very good shape though (5'11, 208 according to official measurements), so there's always the chance make up ground at (presumably) the Combine and at Pro Day and team workouts. Lefeged looked good as a returner in practices but didn't take very good angles supposedly. One report had him talking with the Vikings and Raiders in Mobile.
The Rutgers athletic department announced yesterday that Joe Lefeged had been selected to play in the Senior Bowl, with Antonio Lowery and Jon Freeny also playing in new game that will likely battle Texas vs. the Nation (which is actually called the NFLPA Game now) for supremacy. One factor that I want to talk more about as the NFL Draft season kicks into gear over the next few months is how extenuating circumstances ruined what was looking like a very good defense through the first half of 2010. That poor play undoubtedly hurt their stock, although good professional scouts ought to have an ability to take context into account. A couple Scarlet Knights will catch on as late round picks/UDFAs and stick around in the NFL. Alex Silvestro stands out as another player who will deserve some looks, and Brandon Bing should at least get a few workouts after he runs a sub-4.4 at Pro Day.
Labor strife isn't limited these days to New Jersey and the Christie administration. According to NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith, the conflict over escalating rookie salaries is one issue that increases the likelihood of a lockout next summer. That's all the more reason for an Anthony Davis to declare this year and get his name on a contract. It's easy to see the incentive for him, and for the NFL to make this a bone of contention in the talks. Two years ago, Leodis McKelvin signed a five-year, $19.4 million contract at #11 overall. That figure increased to a cool $25 mil last year for Aaron Maybin. This could be Anthony's last chance to cash in on the gravy train before a hard rookie cap goes in place.
Here's a round of predictions about how the Rutgers players that went in the 2010 NFL Draft, and signed free agent contracts last week will fare in the pros. C Ryan Blaszczyk (Detroit Lions tryout)...
Watching last week's NFL Draft, one thought repeatedly came to mind: who'll be the next Scarlet Knight drafted in the first round? The question is inescapable considering that Greg Schiano has e...

BTownBucFan is right, we should embrace sucking untill the end of time, with Gruden at the reigns. Â Typical to Gruden romantists, there is a lot hot air, and little substance to justify the backward steps taken by our Buccaneers team as a unit and program. Is it unreasonable that we are tired of losing?Gruden is a maniac.Kudos to Bruce for plenty of poise today!GO BUCS!!
Great point. I just hate the coach. I don't like him on a personal level... That makes sense. I am disgusted by his inability to coach. The way that he throws away games. The way he says "I'm not here to make excuses but........excuse excuse excuse..."How he throws players under the busHow he has put 3 qb's in danger with poor playcalling; hence 4 starters in 4 yearsThe 3rd and 5 play against Carolina, and the HUNDREDS BEFORE IT AND HUNDREDS THAT FOLLOW.How he abandons the run.The way he acts on the sideline.The juxtaposition of him and Dungy..... Character in serious question.ETC, ETC, ETC.
BTownBucFan, you had better get comfortable with my posts about Gruden because that is all you will hear from me until they finally fire this freakin idiot. And by the way, they aren't taking refunds on the "Chucky" t'shirts you bought the family.
Could we replace Chucky? I dunno? It would be difficult to find another coach that would lead us to a 0-4 start.
First of all, its Karl, and second of all you can state whatever you want. Just know that when your opinion is stupid it warrants me telling you so.So i'm telling you now, your opinion is stupid for a million reasons.

"I'm the guy who either has the answer or knows the person who has the answer. That's my role — to figure stuff out and get it done," said Steve Ostaseski, the city's new long-term recovery manager.
Creating and funding such a position was listed as a high priority in the community recovery plan adopted in December 2011.
The reason given was the strain that the demands of recovery placed on the small staff running the day-to-day affairs of the city.
The plan states that a disaster recovery manager would be responsible for budgeting, project management and grant coordination. He or she would also be expected to be familiar with the process of planning, designing and construction of building and infrastructure.
Ostaseski has an extensive background in community planning, including more than a decade spent at the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham.
Mayor Drew Gilbert said that once funds became available through the Walker Area Community Foundation, hiring Ostaseski was an easy choice.
"His track record, energy, connections, and his skill set were exactly what this city needed at this point," Gilbert said.
Ostaseski's ties to Cordova date back to 2003. He was part of the team from RPCGB that assisted the city in developing a comprehensive revitalization plan as well as the current zoning ordinance.
"Starting to run out of energy. Just scratching to get along. Facing a lot of challenges, but good folks willing to look forward," Ostaseski said of his first impressions of Cordova.
Ten years later, Ostaseski has been tasked with helping the city recover from not only tornadoes but decades of decay.
Demolition is the first project that he will be overseeing.
During his first weeks on the job, Ostaseski helped develop a grading system that was used in evaluating bidders for demo.
He was also responsible for investigating concerns raised about compacting the downtown lots.
Ostaseski determined that the federal money the city is receiving can only be used for demolition, not site preparation.
Ostaseski took to heart some advice given to him years ago by mentor George Ray at the Alabama Department of Transportation.
"George said, 'Read the rules because nobody else does. You'll have a leg up,'" Ostaseski said.
Ostaseski spent part of last week reading the rules regarding millions of dollars in additional disaster recovery funding the city is pursuing.
Ostaseski sees great potential for Cordova as a commuter community.
He wants to put the city in a position to appeal to locals and outsiders alike with outdoor recreation, affordable housing and a bustling business district.
Ostaseski also believes it can all be done without jeopardizing the small town charm that residents praised during a community meeting in the summer of 2011.
Ostaseski's role in the process will be managing the daily details of recovery. It is a job he has been equipping himself for throughout his professional career.
"This is everything that I've been doing my whole life — reading those rules, writing those rules, practicing this stuff. And here's a canvas with the most willing population I've ever had the pleasure of working with that just wants to rebuild their city," Ostaseski said.

Susanna Moore's latest novel, The Life of Objects, is a slim World War II saga that reads like a cautionary fairy tale: It's packed with descriptions of ornate furniture and paintings, lavish banquets, demons and diamonds. At the center of the story is a young girl bewitched by her own desire to live a larger life, a wish that's granted with grim exactitude.

Tens of thousands of students are back in school this morning in Chicago.
As we told you yesterday, the Chicago Teachers Union voted to end the seven-day walkout. This morning, reports The Chicago Sun-Times, everyone was excited to get back to normal — the teachers, the students and even the mayor.
The Sun-Times reports:
I'm Michel Martin and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. Now, we're going to focus on a new study about the people who decide what you see on America's television news. The National Association of Black Journalists, or NABJ, has just released its latest diversity census. The group says the picture is bleak for journalists of color who hope to get into television newsroom management. That's journalists who belong to all different ethnic groups.
There's been a lot of attention on how voter ID laws might affect minority groups like African-Americans and Latinos. But some observers say that Asian Americans may also be affected. Host Michel Martin discusses the potential impact with Glenn Magpantay of the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund.
Democratic members of the House introduced a bill yesterday that would allow voters without ID to sign an affidavit attesting to their identity at the polls. The new bill is the latest in the ongoing voter ID debate and host Michel Martin speaks with one of the bill's sponsors Congressman Rick Larsen about the proposal.

It's not quite as iconic as falling leaves, crisp air, and football, but the McDonald's McRib is usually something folks look forward to enjoying in the autumn months. Not happening this year, according to a company memo obtained by Advertising Age.
Following a tip from a friend one day, photographer Dmitri Kasterine drove 15 miles from his home in Garrison, N.Y., to nearby Newburgh. What he found there was unlike anything he had ever seen before.
Kasterine was immediately drawn to the crumbling Victorian houses, the neglected buildings, and, most strikingly, the unassuming grace of the people on the street. But when he tried to take his first photo, his subject told him to go away. Still, Kasterine returned, and kept coming back for the next 16 years.

I booked it yesterday for $2, but tested a new reservation today and the site said it's not a valid coupon code - so deal may be dead now . . .
When you said you tried the deal, you haven't actually picked up the car yet, right? Please comment if everything goes smoothly when you pick up your car! Thanks!

Hey Chriswish, you are right - deal looks to be expired. Too many people snagging up those rentals! I didn't actually pick up the car when I said I tried it, just took it all the way to check out to make the reservation. I get weary about these things, because they can have hidden limitations. However, it was just the $2 tax fee. Good luck with your booking as well!

Two officers at the Cook County Jail are accused of having an inmate beaten by two other jailed men.
Prosecutors say correctional officers Pamela Bruce and Delphia Sawyer ordered the February 2012 attack after the inmate shouted insults at them.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the two officers were charged with felony official misconduct, perjury, mob action and obstruction of justice.
They were freed on bond Friday.
The officers are accused of letting two larger inmates into the man's cell where they beat him in the face.
Authorities say the two officers also joined the attack, hitting the inmate with their radios and kicking him.
Prosecutors say the officers lied about how the inmate got his injuries, saying they were self-inflicted in a suicide attempt.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

We've all seen it. Patients looking wide eyed and worried at a small bubble of air as it travels down the IV line and off into the mystery of their arm. "Don't worry", we assure them… "its far too small to cause any problems".
So exactly how dangerous are those little air bubbles? And how much air would be needed to cause an adverse event?
Or to put it simply: would 10mls of air injected into the IV line by the evil ninja assassin disguised as Dr Singer (who has been tied up and thrown in a linen skip), be enough to kill our sleeping hero and stop him getting the girl?
Once a volume of air is introduced into a peripheral vein, it can potentially make its way through to the Right Atrium and Ventricle, and then on into the pulmonary vasculature. Here air may occlude the microvasculature increasing dead space and damaging the vessels endothelial lining. This in turn, may trigger an inflammatory response resulting in noncardiogenic pulmonary oedema and bronchoconstriction. In animal studies, the ability of the lung to filter air micro-bubbles fails when air enters the circulatory system at a rate greater than 0.30 mL/kg per minute
A large, rapidly-entrained bolus of air can fill the right atrium with air and cause an air lock, which leads to obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract, decreased venous return, and decreased cardiac output. Myocardial and cerebral ischaemia soon follow.
Small amounts of air are probably absorbed by the plasma and haemoglobin, but larger amounts have been associated with interfering with pulmonary gas exchange, and causing cardiac arrhythmias.
Air bubbles may also occlude the micro circulation of other organs such as the brain, spinal cord and the skin.
OK. So now you've really scared me. But how much is safe?
Emedicine quotes that more than 5mls per kg is needed to cause significant complications. Although it states that as little as 20 mls (around the amount of air in an unprimed IV line) has been reported to cause some problems.
Large amounts (of between 100 to 300 mls) have allegedly been fatal.
So those pesky little bubbles travelling down the tubing are probably not going to do any damage. But never-the-less, it would be wise to take steps to minimize the risk of larger amounts of air entering the system.
- Dont forget to prime the IV line! Sounds stupid, but it happens more often than you think.
- When hanging a new bag on an existing line, check to make sure the previous fluid hasn't run down the line leaving a large airspace.
- Do not place IV fluids down on the bed when transferring patients etc. Laying the drip chamber down on its side only encourages air to enter the tubing.
- Expel any air from syringes of IV antibiotics, analgesia etc that you are about to administer.
- And of course always check to make sure any drugs or fluids being injected into the line are compatible with the fluid. Incompatible fluids may crystallize or form a sediment that will cause similar problems.
priming tip:
Heres a quick tip.
When priming a new IV line, first invert the bag of fluids so you are spiking it from above.
Once you have inserted the giving set into bag of fluids open the roller clamp and gently squeeze the bag expelling all the air from the top of the IV bag into the giving set. Keep squeezing until the fluid from the bag is pushed up into the drip chamber.
Invert the bag back into its normal position and continue to prime the IV line.
Now, when your patients IV fluids are finished they will stop at the level of the bottom of the flask. There will be no air in the bag to run down into the giving set necessitating a re-priming of your line.
and another thing:
Never pull the cap off the spike with your teeth like they do on TV. It looks cool, but you run the risk of contaminating the IV fluids with your oral flora (and, no doubt, fauna).
Do not let the patient end of the IV tubing drag around on the ground while you are spiking the bag. It may be a hospital, but its still pretty dirty down there.
Do not let fluid squirt out onto the floor as you prime your line . Someone carrying a brimming bedpan is sure to slip arse over nipples on your mess.

Wow…some heated discussion about nurses being a "know it all" and "patients being ignorant". First of all, nurses, like doctors, surgeons, auto mechanics, US presidents, are all human. And guess what, ALL humans make mistakes. A nurse that thinks they have no more to learn shouldn't be in that profession. A nurse that has major problems with a patient concerned about their treatment shouldn't be in that profession. I've always had a ton of respect for the nursing profession, but holy kow are there some real bad ones out there. And to call a patient ignorant for not knowing a lot about the nursing profession is misuse of the word. The nurse choosing to dismiss a patients concern is being ignorant. Patients aren't choosing to not listen or learn, nurses choose to ignore patients. I've seen it, I've dealt with it. A person working a twelve hour shift has a huge chance of making a mistake as the odds of that happening increase ten fold after the eight hour mark. Training or no, it's a fact. I think too many get into a rhythm and end up going through the motions, forgetting that each patient is different, and cannot be dealt with exactly like the last one.
I could say the same for doctors….like in any profession there are always good ones and bad ones.
Hi, I went to ve some blood test today for thyroid check.the nurse injected a syringe and pulled it out to take blood, the syringe was half full and so she pressed it again half way and pulled out again.she did this 3 times.I 've paininmy hand now. Is this ok?
it seems that she didn't hit the vein correctly so she adjusted placement of the syringe. the pain probably came from the blood which came out of the pierced vein. it's entirely normal. just put a warm compress for 15 minutes and it will subside eventually in a few days.
I work in diving medicine. Those air bubbles when treating someone with hyperbaric pressure really will cause death and damage. Even the small ones!
I'm in the hospital right now and actually earlier today I had potassium cloride and ciprofloxacin and the antibiotics had run out and for somereason (even though its run through a pump (alaris pc)) it began to draw air. I have no clue how long it was happening before I caught it but everytime it switched to pumping the the empty bag it put bubbles in (about half liquid half air) that was some scary stuff so ATM I'm getting phenergan and even though it makes me tired I'm staying awake till its done to make sure it doesn't happen again and before I go to sleep ima make sure the nurse stops that one cuz that scared the shit outta me… if I didn't see it then who knows what coulda happened??
I see tiny bubbles or tiny air sacs in venous locks all the time. I try to aspirate them out but instead blood comes out of the vein. Any suggestions how to flush venous/saline/heparin locks in a proper way that there is no air in there and how to remove those tiny sacs of air that are already there?
these patients freak me out!!! the day we have patients showing us how to do our job is the day i resign for good. air in the line through a pump cannot cause harm, the pump will stop and the nurse will get it out before any harm occurs. that is the good thing about pumps. relax and let us do our job
I wish I could relax. but just the other day while my husband was a patient in the ICU, I had to stop his nurse from putting his disposable thermometer which was marked with an R for rectal in his mouth!!
Excuse me !!!patience have right to feel safe. And some peace of mind lying on that hospital bed. As I write I have an IV and endless bubbles kept flowing I kept thinking they wil stop until I had to stop it my self and called. The nurse to drain the bubles. I wasn't trying to show the nurse how to do her job I just want to feel safe. Better to be safe than sorry
Hi Deb –
I have a lot of respect for your position and for your profession. However, the only information that I have received (as a patient) was from the nurses at a hospital that I was previously admitted to. I was told that the micro-bubbles were not an issue and that they would naturally be absorbed by my body. However, I was told that larger bubbles (an inch or so in length) in the IV line could pose a problem. As a result, when a nurse from a different hospital didn't prime the line very well an caused a three inch long bubble in the line – I got a bit nervous.
From there, the nurse became upset and began to argue with me. Pardon me for being nervous… but if I am reacting to a situation based on information that I obtained from someone that is considered educated in that field of study then I don't see where starting an argument is the proper thing to do.
I've never been to medical school so I may be wrong in this line of thinking. But I feel that making the patient feel comfortable and confident in the abilities of the nurse/doctor is a key role in regards to patient care. If a three-inch-long bubble in an IV line scares the stew out of a patient and it only takes a couple more minutes of your time in order to draw it out with a syringe or to bleed it out using the pump – what's the big deal? If you aren't in the nursing field to make the patient feel better… should you really be in that profession? Please don't take that as a snide remark, because it's not meant to be one. It's just an observation from the patient's perspective.
Hi Michael,
I think you're spot on there – it's about making people feel better (although if it costs more) then I don't know but it doesn't sound like it would to me. As a pre-nurse and an avid watcher of Murder She Wrote, I would freak out if I saw that.
I'm looking forward to having all myths busted for myself – a great post!
I'm about to graduate from Nursing School this August and I understand how frustrating it will be to have patients question you and your knowledge. However, I also believe that patients SHOULD know as much as they can about their health. Isn't that our job as nurses? To educate our patients on prevention and maintenance involved with their health? Personally, I'm sure I will be slightly bugged if one of my patients keeps hitting the call light for trivial things that aren't a problem, but at the same time I will be so glad to have another set of eyes on the lookout. With nurses being so busy, it's easy to overlook things or forget things. I mean, we're human too, right? So why not have another set of eyes to keep a check on things. I would certainly appreciate a patient making sure I'm doing my job right. Does it put me under pressure and stress me out a bit? You better believe it. But that's what keeps me double checking things to make sure I don't make a mistake. I believe in being a team with the patient. They are the extra set of eyes that says, "I usually only take one of those pills. Not two." And that's what makes you check the MAR and you notice you accidentally pulled two instead of one. If we don't empower our patients, what's the point of us nurses?
I hate to tell you this but you are a dangerous know-it-all. It is very possible that many of your patients know more than you and the rest need reassurance. Sounds like you have problems with humility and bedside manner. Not a good look for a "professional".
Oh my God…. what can I say …. but YES I do agree ….. and experienced it too I got admitted and when I refused what did the nurse did she called security oh and many more bad experience… this is ABUSE … now I am traumatized… because of reality of negligence…
Those patients aren't telling you how to do their job; they are protecting their own lives. Research has shown that errors are prevented when patients speak up and voice their concerns. Get over yourself – you are not infallible, and neither is anyone in the medical profession. If a patient tells me of a potential error that I would have otherwise made, I will say a prayer of thanks.
Dead on Carole and might I add I have a picc line in and the nurses couldn't agree on how much air is safe (much less than a port in a vein). I've caught enough errors to respect my own judgement and desire to know what is being done.
Deb, get over yourself…you're not perfect….time to "resign for good".
I agree with so many who have responded to your comments.
As an initial matter, you seem to rely on machines always working properly. They don't always work correctly. They can and have failed. An Alaris pump failed just now, allowing more than 3 inches of air to pass without complaint. That is what caused me to search and find this thread. Is 3 inches enough to worry about? There Is disagreement on how much is too much. But the point is a nurse should not put patient safety in jeopardy by assuming machines always work correctly.
As for a patient knowing more than a nurse, you do have a lot to learn. Nurses do not know it all and many patients know considerably more about their specific condition, especially when the condition is rare.
Your comments also suggest arrogance in a field where arrogance can kill. Please get over your pride and start focusing on good patient care — or find a new line of work better suited to your temperament.
Thanks for the info ….me and my boyfriend are in the hospital and the stupid nurse put air in the iv I got mad and spoke with other nurse she said in order to have problems with air in the iv it has to be alot of air im not buying it im pist so if ne thing happens I researched about air bubbles..im so upset with the nurses ughhh do I need to show them how to do there job
Hannah – there will almost always be a tiny amount of air. You are still alive, nurses aren't stupid it is ignorant people like you that are.
I have seen nurses do stupid things. Don't be so naive.
Victoria, you're really rude. I would also venture to say, stupid. If someone is expressing anger or frustration, it's often due to fear. People who are not in the medical profession are at the mercy of those who are when they are in need of medical attention. MERCY. I certainly hope you are not in the medical profession. If you are, you are definite exhibiting your own ignorance. Regardless of how ignorant those of us that are not medically trained are, when it comes to medical operating procedures, we are not supposed to be well versed in the medical field. That's the job of those who are helping us. To react the way you did here, with someone who is afraid of the consequences of something they may or may not understand, is nothing short of childish. A medical professional of any rank or title should know that dealing with people is what you are doing and one needs to remain merciful and gracious while doing so. If one can't manage that consistently, one shouldn't work in the field.
Sweet heart you have more chance of falling out your bed and hitting your head causing injury than you would dying from an air bubble in your IV line. And with an attitude like yours, I would hate for you to be my nurse. That's If you had enough brains to be one.
And before you start posting comments about "stupid nurses", you should learn how to spell correctly.
Well I was a nurse back in the stone age(late 70′s). We did not have luer locks on tubing and used glass bottles with airways to administer TPN. We had to tape the tubing together and be very vigilant that the tubing didn't come apart because if it did the central line was a needle clipped with the catheter wide open so any air just flew into the pts and they would crash rather immediately and we'd have to code them. I had an ambulatory pt trip in the kitchen and break his TPN bottle and besides dodging the shards of glass I had to get to the fluid control clamp so he didn't get an embolism. Phew,he was fine.The popular notion was that if you came upon a pt who had a large amount of air introduced that you were to put your pt in reverse trendelenberg on his left side so any bubble would rise out of the heart(hopefully)into his feet rather than into more important areas. I saw a young doctor do that with a patient and he turned out ok,we never lost anyone directly to air embolisms but they were a big threat back then and we all breathed a deep sigh of relief when we got luer lock tubing and they started putting TPN in the airless bags. Phew. And triple lumens were such a big improvement. Oh well Tales from the wild west,I don't miss them.
My son has had a PICC line in for one month and recently the alarm goes off, red light comes on and it reads: air in line air in line air in line. He is in a top notch cancer only hospital and I am afraid air bubles have caused his left arm to really be in pain; sonograms, blood culture, etc. have been done…but this should NEVER happen in this particular hospital. Why can't a new PICC line be put in…he is running a temp and feeling terrible plus now has a cough. Diagnosis: myelofibrosis. Has had his stem cell TRANSPLANT…I am very angry at the staff!!!.
Zelma – rest assured if the imed (the machine that gives the fluid/drug over a set time) alarms it is saying that there is air in the line as it has a sensor – the air wouldn't have reached your son
Yes Zelma, Victori is right! if there's an alarm, the pump would stop until the problem resolved.
Was lyin in bed just now half asleep when i woke up saw nurse changed my bag and was busy injecting some solution. Only problem was ther was air in the injection and the tube near my arm after injecting i could feel how the air rushed in my vein. One qeustion. How long bfor i coul notice an reaction cause i gt pain in my chest and right shoulder could this be from angst or is it some type of symtom?
Thanks for the tip – very helpful. This is why we love your blog =D
Thank you for the article, you have dealt with it very skilfully as to not introduce panic and also to exercise caution. I read it just because one of my relatives had an iv drip and i watched a small bubble (about 5mm. in diameter) trickle down into her, I was too worried, but your article has put all the ghosts to rest. Thank you so much.
So what does it mean when you got the infusion stopped and blood is flowing back into the line? Does that mean air has entered the cannula or that the infusion has stopped and the blood flow is greater than having no running fluid?
Coz that scared me a bit tonight when I was in the ER after work up on one of the wards, and i didnt see the bag finish, and then i got up to look, saw the bag was empty and then saw blood come down the line.
How quickly does an air embolism kill? Coz on tv you see like they die pretty quick right? I think thats what scares people. Coz the nurse i had who gave me the IVT the line had a few bubbles in it and i was worried. When I get to a patients bedside i always double check the line and let a little bit of fluid run out…more careful when its a PICC coz thats more of a chance of harm since it goes to the heart than a vein.
is it ok to have small amount of air to enter the veins? I was in the er when I got an iv. I seen small pockets of air, not that big enter I paniced!!!!!! the dr says it is ok and I was let go at 2pm and it is 6pm now. will I be ok? I have chest pain from panic attacks thinking I am going to die!
Im sitting arhere in the hospital bed watching air bubbles flow into my arm. Scariest shit in life after reading this
Me too I read this and I stopped the drip then called the nurse to drain the bubbles. She says its ok but she doesn't realise I watched a lot of bubbles go in my arm. And that's why I googled and found this site
I had an outpatient procedure this morning and when the IV was put in three fairly sized airs bubbled raced inside me. It SCARED me to death. I questioned it and the Nurse told me not to worry. She responded that they should "really try to prep better to avoid this happening". I'm angry, and a bit scared. Do I face any danger?
Came here because I am a patient with a PICC line, administering my own IV antibioitcs daily for two weeks. I am completely freaked out by air bubbles. It seemed like we only had to flick a few when the home health nurse showed me the ropes but today, on my own, I feel like I spent 30 minutes flicking bubbles before starting my drip. I was sure I was going to kill myself with an air bubble. I think I've been hanging the bag and priming the line in the wrong order, so I will try as you suggest above.
I am currently a patient. Your page was very reassuring, thank you.

I'v had a iv before in my hand,arm and my neck but thanks for the tips!
Have nursed for 25 yrs and didn't know that. How cool.
Thank you, you are such an inspiration to learn from, since I am only a new grad… my five days at Medical Ward. The Priming tip came at a very opportune time…
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.. and keep on writing.
Good to know, can't wait to try the new spiking tech. Thanks for taking the time to inform the curious.
I love it when you give tips like that. Any suggestions on good ways to find veins on people who are hard to start IV's on?
warm the pts hands with a wet towel , use a venous torniquet , not and arterial one and be patient
I was admitted to hospital overnight with abscessed appendix. Admitting nurse put the line in the bend of my arm. When time to go to surgery they tried to put a line in back of my hand. Very painful. I asked if they could use existing line instead. They did. I had that line in for five days with no discomfort. Back of hand where they had tried to inset the line was lumpy and sore for weeks. Worse than my incision! Why do they insist on back of hand? Saw old people on my ward with deeply bruised and painful hands.
Thanks for the priming tips. it helped.

The Climate Problem is a Coal Problem: PESD in Foreign Affairs
In the current issue of Foreign Affairs, Richard Morse argues that the climate problem is a coal problem, and that coal is not going away anytime soon. Any pragmatic strategy for confronting climate change therefore has to directly confront coal use in the developing world. Articulating new strategies for delivering emission reductions in the coal sector that don't depend on a carbon price, Morse argues that coal may represent one of the largest and most cost effective opportunities for near-term emissions mitigation on a global scale.
