On tap Sonoma Pittsburgh. Pours mostly opaque deep brown Dark tan head with mild lacing
Puts off an aroma of bittersweet chocolate and coffee and a surprising tinge of citrus.
Flavors are bold and well balanced. Coffee, chocolate, slight toasty bitternes. Finishes clean and thick.
This beer is a mouthfull. Thick and well carbonated.
I had this one with veal bacon and potatos. Great beer. Really nice work. Might have trouble finishing more than two.

Pours a deep brown with some ruby tint to it with a light but creamy looking almond colored head,the aroma is very nice I think the light smoky hints along with the chocolate almost makes a fudge brownie aroma is it just me?Taste is very earthy with a raw peanut flavor with the smokiness coming in late that lingers definant resiny hop flavor intermingaled in there as well.A pretty complex beer very worthy of its high marks in my humble opinion.

A great dark pour, very nice muddy-tan head, and an awful lot of carbonation & lacing...the nose was subtle on smoliness i found, more present were some roasted malts & cocoa notes...the taste seemed more stout-like to me, some dark chocolates, roasted malts and rich creaminess...the smokiness creeped in subtley mid-sip and didn't overpower the other nice qualities of this beer....a nice coffee-bean bitterness lingered...mouthfeel was both lively and rich and offered up some creamy texture...great drinkability, complex enough to sit and sip but fresh & lively enough to consume at will...i thought it was well balanced and the subtle smokiness was plenty for this beer

Appearance Very dark, almost black, with a gorgeous foamy volcanic head that held onto the inside glass.
Smell Big flavor of burnt malt, molasses, and huge brown sugar. Theres also some budding bread in there and probably a lot of other things but its tough to get through the malt aroma. Certainly all the standard dark flavors (as mentioned) along with coffee, cocoa powder, banana, and other dark fruits.
Taste The smoky flavor is more at the finish. Up front theres the huge flavors presented at the nose. The malt dominates but everything else is there as promised. The studious taster will also find hops for balance
I would also like to point out a fantastic trick. I enjoy the aroma of chocolate the most as youd find with cocoa power (chocolate and sugar kind of) but the taste I like best like chocolate chips (Nestle, for instance). The chocolate in this one comes out as powder in the nose and semi-sweet eating chocolate in the flavor. Well done.
Mouthfeel Little carbonation in accordance with the style. This one is smooth, smooth, smooth.
Drinkability I sucked this down while in the kitchen making tacos. It goes great with anything, including Mexican food, steak, chicken, or Cheerios.
Comments Not only is this a terrific brew, but it hit my personal preferences right on target. Awesome!
Update: The 2004 is wound a bit tighter than the 03. The heavy flavors are bigger and the lighter fruits and sugars are faint. This is a terrific candidate for cellaring.

Pours a deep mahogany color, mostly black, especially when viewed in dim lighting, some dark ruby highlights around the edges. Super thick and creamy tan head that sustains and leaves some excellent lacing behind, something that seemingly all Stone brews do.
The aroma hits you before you bring the glass to your nose. Roasted, dark malts, some dry cocoa powder, slight char, some leafy, ashy, and dry hop character. The smoke is hard to notice at first, maybe because the beer is a little to cold. Upon warming up a bit, the smoke definitely comes out and becomes quite nice. Liquid smoke, burnt wood, campfire char - it adds such a great element to an already aromatically pleasing beer.
Stone Smoked Porter tastes exactly like the nose would lead you to believe it tastes. Roasted, nearly burnt malts, dry, light cocoa, bitter coffee beans, herbal hops that are just bitter enough to be called "perfect", and of course, a helpful heaping of smoke. Just like on the nose, the smoke comes out more and more on the palate as the beer warms up. It goes from being a tertiary flavor to a primary flavor over the course of 15-20 minutes.
Along with the smoked flavors comes the charred woodiness and an even more intense roasted profile that sticks with you through the aftertaste. A delicacy that coats your palate and keeps the flavor in your brain long after it's gone. The body is heavy and creamy, not quite chewy, nice amount of carbonation in this one.
Had this a long time ago, didn't care for it. Had it again recently and loved it. Smoke can be a touchy subject in the world of beer when not left in the most deft of hands (Heller-Trum), but it works perfectly here and isn't anywhere close to overpowering. Plus, only 4-5$ for a bomber? What a steal. One of the best smoked beers I've had to date, for many reasons.

Had this on tap.
Pours a dark black color with a slight reddish tint and a tan head, approximately 1/2", a good looking beer.
Aroma - chocolate, roasty, but I did not pick up much smoke which is fine with me.
Taste delicious, a little roasty, a little hint of coffee that finishes crisp and somewhat dry. Without the smoke It was a bit like a stout.
Mouth feel - smooth and very drinkable. Another fine product from Stone Brewing.

Pours a moderately deep garnet with excellent clarity. A tan very long head settles to a quarter of an inch of foam and leaves some lacing on the glass.
A smooth smoke aroma blends nicely with a roasted malt aroma. There is also supporting malt character aromas of bready, toffee and chocolate. Hops aroma is not perceptible. There are mild dark fruit esters of prunes and figs.
There is a perfect balance of dark malt and smoke flavors that progresses to a roasty dry finish. A medium sweetness with some toffee and chocolate notes blended with a moderate hop bitterness.
The is a rich, complex porter with a nice balanced smoke character underlining and supporting the key porter qualities.

A: solid two fingers worth of toffee colored heard with good retention. The seemingly black pour is actually the darker side of mahongany when held to the light.
S: Overwhelming bouquet of malt sweetness. I've said this before but the aroma reminds me of my days as a baker when I would first open a tub of malt.
T: Very malty sweet with a real apparent smoke/coal taste that I haven't decided on yet. There is a nice hop accent in this porter which I was not expecting. The robustness created by the smoke is very "as advertised", but I don't know if it is necessarily for me. I've seldom had a smoked beer actually taste smoked, so I guess this one is spot on for its style.
M/D: Very smooth and very very big. I may have to acquire a taste for this style, but I'm sure that won't take long.

Stone Smoked Porter 5.9% alcohol. Poured from a 22oz bomber into a German Becker.
A- Pours a opaque fluid that barely shows light on the edges. Heavy two inch head lingers with sticky lacing clinging.
S- Roasted malts and coffee grinds upfront with light vanilla cream hints.
T-M- Sweet creamy coffee with massive malt charactor. Carmel malts are appearent with a light hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is rich and creamy excellence. Smooth carbonation and milky feel make for a great drink.
D- Will drink again but not sure when... if givin i'll put it down. Cheers!

On tap at Brixies in Brookfield Il, served in a shaker pint glass
It pours a very dark brown with a dense cream head. Medium to heavy lacing stuck to the glass sides
The nose has a medium level of dark smoked malts and behind that some nice chocolate smells.
The taste has a pretty typical porter flavors with some chocolate and coffee and then behind that the smoke starts, it's on the low to medium level. i personally prefer when a beer says its smoked for it to bring it and this is more of an approachable smoked beer.
About half way through the sip my mouth seems to dry out. i get this sometimes with some smoked beers. It's really wierd and it's like cottonmouth. It's not a terribly bad thing and pretty subtle but I'd prefer it wasn't there. I don't even have a clue as to what causes it. The carbonation level was too high as well.

Poured from 22 oz. Bomber into a pint glass.
A- Dark dark brown with a three finger, thick creamy off white head.
S-Dark chocolate and then you are hit with billowing smoke in the nose. It is a great toasty, smoky, malty smell that invigorated your olfactory senses.
T- Dark bittersweet chocolate with charred malts and a drop of liquid smoke. Awesome!
M- Now we get to mouthfeel where I cant can't start with the word dark. Medium thickness and carbonation. Not bad...
One of the best smoked porters that I have had. This gives me a new respect for the style. it is not overwhelming and in your face but balances out nicely on the palate.

Picked this up at the Liquor Stop in Highland, Indiana after a visit to 3F. $5.29 for a 22oz.
A: Carbonation went hogwild with this one. The fairly gentle pour gave me a 5 finger head spilling over the glass. When it came back to it's senses, it was a nice creamy, fine, fluffy head. Reddish, brown - almost black liquid. Some ruby showing at the edges. The lacing was insane after all of that head action. Big topographical and stalactite shapes. Handsome looking beer.
S: Nice subtle sour roasted malt. Slight smokiness to it. Smoke same out in force when the beer warmed up more.
T: The last one I had was over chilled and it was horrible. I served this a little warmer than recommended and it was a great decision [pats self on back] because it was a lovely drink. Not a show off by any means but just what I like in a porter. A little sourness at first with the roasted maltiness following. The finish gave me an almost black currant type sweet/tart hint which was nice. After the second pour and it had warmed up more, I liked it even more. The head became darker and the maltiness took on a much more smokey personality. There was chocolate too. Really enjoyable.
M: Medium bodied. Quite smooth but carbonation is too prickly for me.
D: A really nice porter but way too over carbonated. Not jumping to the top of my porter list but I would be happy to drink it again and recommend it to anyone.

Poured from a bomber into a pint glass
Pours very dark brown with a solid 3 fingers of rocky light brown head. Good head retention and pretty decent lacing.
Smell is largely of roasted sweet malts and hints of coffee. Decent, modest, and enjoyable.
Solid flavor! A fantastic flood of malts heavy in chocolate and coffee but not overwhelming. Finish starts sweet but ends in a bitterness that reminds me of a dark powdered cocoa and that cool smokey element seems to be underlying throughout. This might be my new favorite porter!
Mouthfeel is heavy but not overdone. Carbonation is light but lasting and helps to give a creaminess to the whole thing. Drinks incredibly smooth which lets this one go down very easy. Nice!
One additional note: reading the back of the bottle gives insight into some food pairings that go well with this brew - including PB&J sandwiches. I had to try it, and I must say that it was a very good match! If you like beer and food, check this one out! Very cool.

Yet another great brew from the people at Stone, who have yet to let me down and are now my all time favorite brewery. This one poures a very dark brown, almost black with a small head that leaves decent lace around the glass. The smell reminded me of the Arrogant Bastard Ale but with a hint of smoke, chocolate and coffee added to it. The taste is right on: little bit of hop bite at the beginning, then the smoked flavor comes in along with a hint of malt and chocolate, and finishes with a crisp coffee flavor. This one would go great with some bar-b-q'd burgurs....awesome brew!

Pours from the bomber a deep black with a small tan head forming. Hints of red try to peek out of the edges when help up to the light. The smell is roasty with chocolatey tones wafting in. Some hops and smoky notes are present as well. Quite unique.
The first sip hits upfront with a some nice roasted barley and chocolate tones. Creamy flavors are present along with quite a noticeable smoke flavor on the back of the palate. This is one of the most interesting porters I have yet to try. The smoky taste lingers in my mouth after each sip.
Mouthfeel is good and right on for the style. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Drinkability on this one is good, however I can't see myself having many. The smoky flavor doesn't really do it for me. However, it is easy to drink and is totally worth a try. Thank to ppoitras for the chance to try this intirguing brew.

Finally picked up a bottle of this while I was in Colorado for a couple of weeks. I've been wanting to try it for a while now. I had this one while chilling in my tent in RMNP during a rain storm one afternoon.
Really nice looking brew. Nearly opaque but with some brown fringes. Lots of tan head, thick lacing. Light aroma though. Sweet milk chocolate exclusively. The taste is a step in the right direction though. Light smokiness initially then bittersweet chocolate. Slight sweetness in the middle. Finish has a nice roasted bitterness. A touch of earthy hops. Okay mouthfeel. A bit thin, coats well and the flavor lingers though. Good drinkability overall. A nice beer with some nice smokiness and a good overall flavor. Goes down easy.

This is only the second offering I have ever had from Stone brewing, the first being the Vertical '05.
I suppose trying the Vertical first off the bat set the bar pretty high, as I had high hopes for the smoked porter. I enjoyed the porter - it just didnt quite live up to expectations.
There was really more of an oak taste than a smoked taste to this beer. But I'm fine with that. Very smooth and not all that heavy in the mouthfeel. Not overpoweringly rich, which is also a good thing.
I dunno... I just hoped for something a little more complex or "deeper" overall. This was still a great porter, but only slightly above the other better smoked porters I've had. It didn't blow away the competition like I thought it would.

Pours a deep light black. Not transparent, but a dark light. I cant explain it, but its dark and light at the same time. Trust me! Finger of head, disapating into nice lacing. Mocha head color. Pretty.
Smells hoppy. Some malt, maybe coffee. Not as deep as I like a Porter.
Coffee, chocolate, and sweet. Little hoppy finish. No ABV to taste. Fairly sweet for style.
Sits well, smooth carbonation. No bite, prolly a factor of ABV. Smooth medium finish, some staying power.
Drinkability is good. I personally dont enjoy the level of sweetness, but it is respectable. I would prefer more ABV, and maybe something fuller with more personality. I would rather have a Smuttynose Robust Porter of this Smoked Porter.

Friday night at home, watching a movie. Had this beer, as well as porters from Sierra Nevada and Smuttynose. Liked this one a lot. It was a dark brown with a little red. A small tan head. Sweet chocolate aroma, maybe some smokiness. A chocolate, coffee taste, without the sweetness I had smelled. More of an espresso. Very smooth, and fun to drink.

Poured into a pilsner glass. Poured a deep amber with a medium, pale head. I smell the amber malt, maybe some earthy hops? Tastes smooth with a little malt sweetness. 5.5% ABV was well hidden but absolutely felt. The hops are earthy, and clean up the malt nicely. Not cloying, very drinkable thanks to a dry finish. Kinda feel like this is just an American amber but with English hops, but what do I know. Its good, would like to try on tap. I'm liking the direction that Sammy is taking.

As I poured this into a wide mouth glass, I noted the deep rich red color. The aroma was pleasant with a hint of hops, but there was nothing that stood out as particularly interesting. The first taste was nice...full of body but not overbearing; malty but balanced; smooth as it rolls over the tongue. The ale finished with a balance that was just as good, with just enough linger to remind you of the caramel and hops.
I very much enjoyed this ale! More than once I remarked that this is probably my new favorite red. It's the kind of drink that you can take in any time and enjoy it.

Beer review from BA Mag Aug 2007.
Two of two for the next new beer that may make it into the Sam Adams lineup as part of their "Beer Lover's Choice" tasting competition, for which consumer voting starts this August. This one and the Dunkelweizen were selected from a group of four beers.
Minimal head, and it's lacking a bit in retention, though there is a ring of lace that does not waver even after a few hearty gulps. Slight haze in the deep amber brew--we thought this beer could have been a shade darker, with a tinge of red to it. Buttery, fruity, malty, faint caramel aroma--so we definitely know the yeast worked on this beer. Smooth with a medium body. Buttery on the palate, tending toward the sweet-malty side, with a quick draw of modest hop bitterness. The buttery character is hard to shake even with its toasty and caramel malt backbone. Finishes a little dry.
Mezza mezza, though with not that many Irish Reds in the market, it stacks up to be pretty good within its style. If it were up to us, we'd pick the Dunkelweizen over this one.

A - Pours a very clean dark amber. Big frothy head with little carbonation.
S - Estery, first think I smelled while pouring was bananas. Followed by a nice malty aroma, but slightly metallic.
T - More esters, tasted the banana and then a red licorice flavor with some sweetness from the caramel malts. Malty with some residual sweetness, but not cloying. Keep thinking I am tasting red vines in there. I like red vines, but in a beer is a little weird.
M - Creamy, viscous, smooth. Not much tingle of C02 or alcohol.
D - Good session beer. Not spectacular, but a lot of times spectacular becomes tiring when drinking more than more.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz. bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: Its body is dark reddish copper in color and it has nice clarity. The head is average size, light tan in color and fades down to thin covering.
Smell: The aroma is sweet and malty with hints of caramel and toffee.
Taste/Mouth feel: The favor is much the same as the aroma with a malty character and light mild hops in the background. Its finish is smooth and clean with a medium body and a smooth creamy texture.
Notes: This is a very easy drinking beer with simple pleasing flavor.

Taste is very spicy malty, earthy, fruity, bitter finish and an ever so quaint touch of peat. Medium body, well carbonated, dry finish. Pretty drinkable.

Bottle pours a clear copper body with a small beige head that strews some respectable lacing on the glass. Aroma is toasted caramel, red apple skins, and spicy hops. Light medium body is moderately carbonated. Taste mirrors the aroma, with toasted caramel malt and a bittering spicy hop profile. Some earthiness is also noted. Very nice example of the style and pleasantly drinkable.

12 ounce bottle, best before dating notched onto the side of the label (May 2014)
Pours ruby hued amber, supports a typical tan head, that lasts nicely, and leaves low ringed sheeting.
Sweet malts on the nose and then on the palate....some roasted notes and plenty of sweet caramel. British/mellow hops dry out the finish and provide the balance. Ehh, nothing special, but not terrible. Drinkable and serviceable every day/middle of the road kinda ale

Appearance: Amber and clear, small head, which disappears quickly
Smell: malts light grain--I did not think this beer had a particularly strong smell
Taste: I got a slightly bitter first taste and a stronger bitter finish
Mouthfeel: very smooth, slightly bitter aftertaste
Drinkability: I could see this being a session beer for those that like Irish Reds, but I will not be searching for this. I like Sam Adams, but believe they have better offerings.

The beer pours a reddish color with an off-white head. A nice looking beer overall. The aroma is classic red ale with notes of toffee and caramel, as well as some grassy hops. The flavor is dominated by the toffee, caramel and biscuit malt notes. I also get some light cocoa and some grassy hops. The beer has a slight bit of bitterness to it, but it is fairly sweet tasting overall. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. I am not usually a fan of Irish Red Ales, but this one is not bad at all. Definitely one of the best that I have tried.

I'm frequently asked, what are your "Entertaining Essentials?" Truthfully, I seem to use the same staples over and over and try to reinterpret them different ways. So, my Entertaining Pantry is really quite edited and simple, but there are some items that I have come to depend on... all of which I put together for you in my new Everyday Occasions store. Here are some of my favorites you can find there that I can't entertain without - some of the items are pictured in this photo of Hydrangea Cupcakes :
large brown cupcake liners... that still fit into a standard cupcake pan
- these celebration candles (also in my favorite "seaside" blue) make any simple look fabulous for a special occasion
- pre-cut parchment papers that are non-stick and I can just throw away and I don't have to scrub the pan... they also work great for wrapping up baked goods
- hemstitch cocktail napkins... they are so classic, especially with a "seaside" blue monogram
- every size of cellophane bags... for wrapping cookies, gifts, muffins, scones....
To find more of my Entertaining Essentials, stop by my store of specially selected favorites.
Another sort of "Entertaining Essentials" I have is a collection of go-to entertaining recipes. Crowd pleasers. When I first started my catering business I wrote all of my favorite recipes in a little blue journal book so I'd have them with me all of the time. Over the years I've shared a couple of recipes from this little journal, but not all. Truthfully, when I started this blog (forever ago...?) I was a burnt out on all of those recipes I'd made hundreds of times.
Now, after a two year break from the catering business, I am ready to dive back in to some of those old favorites, because after all, they were really great recipes for entertaining. This Chocolate Molten Cake recipe was one of my first and best go-to's as a caterer. I always served it at dinner parties - with great success. The ingredients and supplies are humble - chocolate chips and a cupcake pan! They work great for parties because the batter is made in advance, then baked right before dessert and served warm.
2 tablespoons of butter, melted
2 tablespoons of cocoa
3/4 cup of butter
12 ounce of chocolate chips
1/2 cup of heavy cream
5 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup of flour
Prepare cupcake pans by coating the inside of each with melted butter by swirling it around. Then sprinkle the insides with cocoa, coating completely.
To make the batter, place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, then top it with butter and cream. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth. When chocolate has cooled slightly, stir in eggs, sugar and flour. Pour into prepared cupcake pans. Refrigerate for 1 hour (at least) and up to a couple of days.
Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes for regular 12/pan size and 15-18 for jumbo 6/pan size, just until the outsides and most of the top have set, and the centers are still slightly runny. You can insert the tip of a knife to test. You just want a bit of the very center to be a thick pudding like texture. Let them cool for 5 minutes, then place a sheet pan on top of the muffin pan and invert them.
Serve with whipped cream, ice cream and dusted with chocolate or cinnamon.
Melting chocolate with the butter and cream this way is so easy - microwave!
The pans buttered and cocoa-ed while the chocolate is in the microwave.
Perfectly melted.
You can fill them almost all the way to the top - they don't puff too much.
Cooling for 5 minutes to help them continue to set.
Ready for the flip...
So, so good. You really must try them.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Cortlandt Manor, NY (Oct. 2, 2012) –Being a hero means being in the right place at the right time to help others when they need it. Sometimes it doesn't even involve a rescue from a burning building or a lifesaving operation.
Hudson Valley Hospital recognizes these everyday heroes – from the environmental staff to the lab technician – each year by unveiling their portraits as part of its Wall of Heroes. On Oct. 2 at 2 p.m., Hudson Valley Hospital Center unveiled its Wall of Heroes at a ceremony in the lobby of the Hospital at 1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor. This year, 10 employees from 10 departments were honored. Employees live in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties.
Each month the Hospital recognizes an employee who has been nominated by co-workers. At the end of the year, that employee is honored at the Heroes Ceremony and their portrait hung on the wall along the front corridor of the Hospital, where it remains for the year. It's one of the reasons that the Hospital has been cited - by Press Ganey and Westchester Magazine - as one of the top places to work in Westchester, and the nation, alongside corporate giants like MasterCard, New York Life and Morgan Stanley.
"It's really a very impressive sight, and the ceremony is very moving,'' said Hudson Valley Hospital President John C. Federspiel. "When you walk down the corridor and see these 3-foot high portraits on the wall, it really makes a statement about how we feel about our employees. It's something they and their families can be proud of, not just for one day, but for the entire year. That benefits everyone: the employees, the patients and the community.''
Susan Sheehy, captain of the reward and recognition team, has worked on the Heroes project for past six years. She says she looks forward to preparing for the event, writing the bios of each employee and arranging for professional portraits to be taken of each.
"Over the years I have learned so much about the special people I work with at the Hospital,'' said Sheehy. "When everyone crowds into the lobby and down the hallways for the ceremony, it's better than a ticker-tape parade.''
Honored this year were:
Jane Picone, Phelbotomist, Lab –Jane of Peekskill was Employee of the Month in October 2011. She is a member of the Phlebotomy team and painlessly draws blood from patients. She works the 3- 11 p.m. shift in the lab and is frequently requested by patients because of her top-notch skills.
Charles Cannato, Technologist, Radiology– Charles of Mount Kisco was Employee of the Month in November 2011. A 9-year employee of HVHC, he works as a technologist in the Radiology Department scanning patients in the MRI units. He takes the time to chat with each patient and helps to calm their nerves.
Laura O'Grady, RN, Emergency Department – Laura of Lake Peekskill was Employee of the Month in December 2011. A 21-year employee, she works as an RN in the Emergency Department wearing many hats, including charge nurse, bedside nurse, teacher, triage and ACLS instructor. Laura is the "rock" of the Emergency Department and is there to advise and assist her co-workers. She's also known for her "killer" Irish soda bread.
Anna Slempa, RN, BSN – Anna of Peekskill was Employee of the Month in January 2012. Anna, Clinical Coordinator in Nursing Administration, has worked at HVHC for 33 years, starting as a candy striper many years ago. During her tenure at HVHC, she has worked on several nursing units including 3 East, ICU and the Emergency Department. She has been recognized in Hudson Valley Magazine for her nursing excellence.
Kathleen Calabro, Education Department– Kathleen of Cortlandt Manor was Employee of the Month in February 2012. A member of the Education Department, Kathleen was instrumental in the Magnet nursing re-designation project, helping the Hospital to once again earn the distinction as a Magnet hospital, the gold standard in nursing care.
Ruel Wilson, PCT, 3 South – Ruel of Peekskill was Employee of the Month in March 2012. He is a Patient Care Technician on 3 South Nursing Unit. Ruel is a compassionate, team player, who anticipates all his patients' needs.
Valerie Falls, Programmer-Analyst, MIS – Valerie of Poughquag was Employee of the Month in April 2012. Valerie is a programmer-analyst with the Hospital's MIS Department. Valerie took the lead on a recent project compiling quality data reports needed to complete the electronic medical records project. Valerie and her family moved here from Montreal four years ago.
Ann Marie Guthartz, ACNM, 2 South – Ann Marie of Somers was Employee of the Month in May of 2012. Ann Marie has been a nurse for 42 years and joined Hudson Valley Hospital Center in 2001. Ann's vast experience in pediatrics and Med/Surgery with telemetry focus is a tremendous asset to the Hospital. She was recognized by Hudson Valley Magazine for excellence in nursing.
Elizabeth Dwyer, Lead Mammography Technician II, Women's Imaging Center – Liz of Wappingers Falls was Employee of the Month in July of 2012. Liz delivers warmth, kindness, respect and dignity to all her patients. Under her leadership, her department prides itself on perfection as seen in the fact that they maintained patient satisfaction scores of 98 percent and 99 percent in 2010 and 2011 respectively, not to mention perfect Department of Health inspections.
Cathy Patinella, Pre-Admissions Testing – Cathy of Cold Spring was Employee of the Month in August 2012. A driving force behind the Pre-Admission Testing Department, Cathy helps prepare patients for pre-operative testing. Cathy's warmth, compassion and incredible sense of humor put her patients at ease from the moment they meet her.

Update on my Dad
Prayer Requests, Family Announcements, Weddings, Anniversaries, Birthdays, etc.
Moderator: Team Cub
Update on my Dad
I want to start off by giving all of those who have given me words of encouragement this last year a big Thanks. I will continue to need it and the distraction FarmallCub gives me, in the upcoming months.
Dad has multiple health issues, most as a result of medications/treatments he received through the VA in the late 50's early 60's. They thought back then it was a good idea to treat his psoriasis with Methiolated Mercury cream, and then years of Methotrexate. Nothing like heavy metals in your bloodstream.
He is dealing with reduced liver function, kidney function, he has had heart surgery to repair an aortic anurysm and has a titanium valve. He has another one where the arteries from his legs join. He is on blood thinners so his valve don't clot, has internal bleeding and has been given 4 pints of blood the last 4 weeks, but, they can't find the source. This thickens his blood.
Everything they do, affects another issue. so treatment is always the lesser of 2 evils. Dad is 73 and has led a good life. I just received word that he is bleeding again and will need more blood today.
All in all, the DR.'s have given him up to 7 months. our goal right now is to get him back on his boat fishing one more time.
keep us in your prayers. he is not in pain, just slowly going down hill.

Re: Update on my Dad
Bill, that would be fresh water fishing
Dad has a 24' pontoon boat that is rigged out just for fishing. We fish lake chicamagua (Tn River) below the Watts Bar dam most of the time. Crappie, catfish, redfins, shellcrackers, rockfish (stripers), and even spoonbills.
Does not matter what or if we catch, Dad don't eat them. LOL
He has me and 4 or 5 friends that go up to 3 times a week, regardless the weather, as long as 3 of us are on the boat.
IF, we get him home, he will make it to the water.

The mission of the Adult Down Syndrome Center is enhancing the well-being of adolescents, 12 and older, and adults with Down syndrome using a team approach to provide comprehensive, holistic, community-based health care services.
Learn More- A Center for Adults and Adolescents with Down Syndrome: Twenty Years of Experience
Now accepting Illinois residents with Down Syndrome who are 12 years and older.Learn more about our out of state policy.
Down syndrome, the most common of all genetic conditions associated with intellectual disability, occurs in approximately one out of every 691 births, usually causing delays in physical, intellectual and language development. With appropriate and ongoing medical care, adults and adolescents with Down syndrome can lead healthy and productive lives. The Adult Down Syndrome Center is a comprehensive medical resource providing care for adults with Down Syndrome, with an emphasis on health promotion.
Prior to an initial visit, a health questionnaire and a release of information form will be sent to the caregiver to establish previous medical history.
During a visit to the Center a thorough physical examination is performed and a complete medical history taken by the physicians or nurse practitioner who specializes in the care of adults and adolescents with Down syndrome. Each patient visits with a social worker. Laboratory tests will be performed in the Center. X-rays, hearing, nutrition and consultations with specialists can be arranged. A comprehensive summary report is later mailed.

What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
LOL . What a crock of shlt.
But to answer the question why it isn't that popular, it doesnt really pander to any group other than human nature.
Quote from: Skull and Bones on May 14, 2013, 06:38:08 AMBut to answer the question why it isn't that popular, it doesnt really pander to any group other than human nature. It isn't popular because people only like the "idea" of freedom . I can tell people basic generic libertarian tenants and almost everyone agrees in principle. When I follow that up with something specific like ,"... so good luck , you're on your own saving for that retirement" , they panic and cry foul.Funny you should bring up Freud , because he did hit the nail on the head when he said , "Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility."It is gaining popularity slowly , however . There are a lot of libertarian minded people in the Republican party ( The Paul Wing )who just keep voting Republican because they are brainwashed to think there is no other choice. One day , maybe. It will take some colossal outrage ( like banckruptcy ) on the part of government to move people away from the two party scam and towards freedom...which actually is pretty likely to happen eventually.
I believe that the majority of American citizens that aren't brainwashed Democrats and Republicans are Libertarians.

Only "No Wait" ED in the region receives high marks from patients
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (Oct 5, 2010)– They said it couldn't be done. But after five years, Hudson Valley Hospital Center has proved that its revolutionary "No-Wait" Emergency Department can get patients in and out faster and with a minimum of waiting.
On Tuesday, Oct. 5, Hudson Valley Hospital Center celebrated the 5th anniversary of its "No-Wait" ED with a ceremony in the Emergency Department's waiting room. The event was attended by former patients and by representatives from Entergy and Westchester County, which presented a proclamation to the Hospital to mark the milestone.
"One of the reasons we could hold this event in the waiting room is that our waiting room is usually empty, and that is not for lack of patients. Hudson Valley Hospital Center has the second busiest ED in Westchester County," said John C. Federspiel, President of Hudson Valley Hospital Center. "No one in distress should have to wait for hours to be seen. People who come into our Emergency Department spend little or no time in our waiting room. It all part of our philosophy: that patients are people first."
Dr. Denise Rinato, an OB/GYN who lives in Somers and practices in Cortlandt, said she learned about the efficiency of the Hospital's "No-Wait" Emergency Department first hand on March 24 when her husband had a heart attack.
"My husband woke up on his 52 birthday about 9:30 a.m. with chest and shoulder pain," said Dr. Rinato. "Even though we live in Somers, our doctor is here so I insisted we come to Hudson Valley. My husband's treatment could not have been better. Everyone was wonderful. He arrived at the hospital at 10:25 he was seen within 10 minutes and by 12 he had had a stent placed and was doing well."
Dr. Ron Nutovits, Chairman of Emergency Medicine, Hudson Valley Hospital Center, said most patients who walk into the Emergency Department are escorted right into registration, then moved into triage, without ever spending time in the waiting room. Hudson Valley Hospital's Emergency Room is the only no-wait Emergency Department in the region, serving about 35,000 patients a year. Patients spend an average of 4 hours and 48 minutes in New York Emergency Departments (ED) according to Press Ganey. By comparison, Hudson Valley Hospital Center discharges its ED patients in a third less time.
"Team work is at the heart of our success" said Dr. Nutovits, who added that the ED is led by emergency medicine board certified physicians as well as Magnet status emergency trained registered nurses. "It's like an intricately choreographed dance. Everyone must do their part. Whether it's bedside registration, electronic medical records or quick turnaround of lab results, all these services contribute to the final outcome."
Patients clearly approve of the no-wait concept, Press Ganey rankings consistently put HVHC's ED in the 90th percentile and higher for patient satisfaction. The scores are even more impressive because the Hospital recently doubled the size of its Emergency Department going from 19 emergency treatment bays to 39 as part of its recent $100 million renovation and expansion of the Hospital.

CNHI News Service
LEWISTON, N.Y. — There's a wall on the third floor of Lewiston-Porter High School dedicated to celebrating perfect scores on state mathematics exams.
A new name joined the growing list Tuesday, which brought a smile to the face of everyone involved. Matthew Minderler, a 15-year-old freshman at the school, scored his 100 on the Integrated Algebra exam a few days ago.
"I thought I did OK, but I was excited," Matthew said of learning his score. "I thought I got most of them right."
But Matthew's story isn't typical of teenagers his age. He'd never seen his classroom at the school before Tuesday's ceremony, never met his teacher face-to-face. He'd never had pointless conversations at lunch with his buddies.
Matthew suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a childhood form of muscular dystrophy, and has been wheelchair-bound since he was 3 years old.
"He was diagnosed at the age of one," his mother, Cathy Minderler, said. "We were told he had seven more years to live. He's doubled that."
He can barely speak and uses a ventilator system to deliver medicine allowing him to take deep breaths. His mother keeps him at home as much as possible to avoid coming into contact with germs and illness to keep him safe.
Still, while his body has betrayed him, his mind is as sharp as any other student's. Maybe even more so. And though he's hardly been in the building – he attended once early in the year to have his yearbook photograph taken with the rest of his classmates – a dedicated team of teachers helped ensure his intelligence shone through on his test.
Classroom teacher Jennifer Wanamaker, consultant teacher Vicki Way and home instructor Joyce Copeland made it their mission to provide their student with the best education experience possible. It's not an easy task to accomplish, so they reached into their bag of technology to find a way to reach Matthew in ways impossible only a few short years ago.
Skype, a mobile conferencing program which allows for video calls, brought the student stuck at home in his wheelchair into a setting he had never experienced before. Suddenly, he was part of a group. Suddenly, he was being called on to answer questions for everyone else to hear.
"To do well is difficult," Wanamaker said. "To get a 100 is outstanding. Throughout the entire year, I could hardly write a question to stump him. By the fall or early winter, we said to each other 'He's the next Stephen Hawking.'"
"This team of teachers are really amazing," high school Principal Paul Casseri said. "They've really gone the extra mile. And his mother tries to give him as close to a real experience as possible. His story is incredible in my eyes."
His education shifted with the inclusion of the Skyped lessons, his mother said. He went from a student receiving one-on-one instruction all the time, with very little interaction with people his own age, to needing to pick up on things he may not have noticed before.
The approach clicked with him and the opportunity to interact with other students helped him tremendously, she said.
"Sometimes being at home, he'd get to do one-on-one, which is great," Cathy Minderler said. "But when he did Skype into the class, it gave him a different perspective. There's some things you pick up on in that situation you wouldn't have noticed the other way.
"I've been adamant about him receiving a Regents diploma. I know he can do the work. It's just about beating the time constraints. Skyping helps. He can focus on that two times a week, where that's what he does during the day."
Three other students received perfect scores on the exam and will be honored by the school in the fall.
As for his other classes, Matthew's still in the process of taking exams in both English Language Arts and social studies, though his mother isn't anticipating anymore 100s. Next year brings his toughest challenge when regents science works its way into his home. His mother said she was concerned the coursework, complete with a number of laboratory requirements, would overload him this year, so she held off.
Outside the classroom, Matthew is a considerable speed freak. He's a sports fanatic who enjoys watching as much NASCAR racing as possible. His wheelchair comes with a specially designed computer, which he uses to tap into some of the online features NASCAR television broadcasts provide.
He's also a fan of hockey and is cheering for the Chicago Blackhawks and Buffalo-born Patrick Kane in this year's Stanley Cup Final.
The computer, which is also what he uses to Skype with his class, has given him the opportunity to be his own person more so than any other component in his life.
"It gives him an opportunity to do things for himself," Cathy Minderler said. "Using the computer, he's been able to adapt well. And he uses it for everything."
Matthew's illness has taken its toll on everyone in the Minderler family. After the diagnosis and witnessing the destruction of his child's muscles, Matthew's father left the family.
His mother remained by his side, together with Matthew's older brother, Steven, 19, who is about to begin classes at the University at Buffalo in August. She admits it's a commitment which requires numerous sacrifices some people simply aren't comfortable making. But then she looks at her son, she said, and all of the negativity disappears.
"No, I'd never take any of it back," she said. "There was a lot of fighting, but then there's Matt. I know him as a person, I experience his life with him. He's a person. And what a great person he is. I don't see him as the disease, I see him as a person.
"Some in our family don't see him as that person, they can't see him like that. But I do, and I love him."

- HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) have rates of anal cancer that approach those of cervical cancer in women. However, unlike cervical cancer, there is no current recommended method of screening that could be used to detect anal precancerous lesions for the prevention of anal cancer in HIV-positive MSM.
- Infections by human papillomavirus (HPV) are the likely cause of cervical and anal precancer and cancer. Detecting the presence of HPV or related biomarkers has helped to identify women who may be at increased risk of cervical cancer; researchers believe that early detection of HPV or related biomarkers in MSM may be useful for anal cancer screening.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of various tests to detect cancer-causing HPV in HIV-positive men who have sex with men.
- HIV-positive MSM that are interested in receiving anal screening for precancer
- HIV-positive MSM will respond to a self-administered risk factor questionnaire, and will undergo a physical exam and a high-resolution anoscopy at the participating clinic.
- The clinician will then collect to anal Pap specimens from each subject for research on HPV and related biomarkers.
- Participants will be followed annually for 2 years to collect additional health data for research follow-up.

|Study Start Date:
|May 2009
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive men who have sex with men (MSM) are at risk of anal cancer that approaches the risk of cervical cancer for unscreened women living in developing countries. There is currently no accepted method for screening HIV positive MSM for anal precancer to reduce the morbidity and mortality due to anal cancer ; in the absence of a standard and effective screening modality, clinics often resort to anoscopy, a diagnostic procedure akin to colposcopy, and directed biopsies on all HIV positive MSM.
Evaluate the clinical performance of detecting carcinogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA and RNA, individual carcinogenic HPV genotypes, cytogenetic markers, p16(INK4a) and Ki-67 immunocytochemistry staining, anal cytology, and combinations of these biomarkers for identifying HIV positive MSM with prevalent, 1 year cumulative, and 2 year cumulative anal precancer and cancer (histologically-confirmed greater than or equal to AIN3) using clinician-collected anal specimens at baseline.
HIV positive MSM seeking anal cancer screening. Inclusion: 1) KPNC member; 2) documented HIV-positive status; 3) able and mentally competent to provide written, informed consent. Exclusion:A current diagnosis of anal cancer at enrollment.
To address this need and to improve detection of anal precancer and cancer, we propose a screening cohort study of 1,000 HIV positive MSM participating in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) health maintenance program. Under written, informed consent, participating KPNC members will respond to a self-administered risk factor questionnaire and will undergo two anal specimen collections into liquid-based cytology (LBC) medium prior to a digital exam and high resolution anoscopy. Subjects will be asked to self-collect at home into the same LBC buffer and return their specimen in a prepared return envelope to evaluate the utility of self-collection for anal cancer screening. Subjects will be followed annually for two years to collect follow-up clinical data related to outcomes. Baseline clinician-collected specimens will be tested in a masked fashion for the following clinical biomarkers: 1) carcinogenic HPV DNA in aggregate and individual carcinogenic HPV genotypes; 2) carcinogenetic HPV RNA and HPV16/18 RNA; 3) cytogentic changes (3q, 5p, and 20q amplification); and 4) p16(INK4a) and Ki-67 immunocytochemical staining. For reference, clinician-collected specimens will be used to make LBC slides and evaluated by an expert cytopathology laboratory. We will estimate the clinical performance (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and referral rates) for detection of prevalently-detected, one-year cumulative, and two-year cumulative histologically-confirmed anal precancer (anal intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3) or worse (greater than or equal to AIN3). We will test the self-collected anal specimens by the best molecular test(s) or combination of tests for detection of prevalently-detected greater than or equal to AIN3 as determined from testing the clinician-collected specimens. All MSM will undergo diagnostic procedures at all visits and independent of testing results, which will result in unbiased disease ascertainment.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Any male member of KPNC who is 1) identified as HIV positive through the Kaiser HIV registry, 2) 18 years or older, can provide written, informed consent, and 3) is not currently diagnosed with anal cancer (prior to enrollment).
HIV-positive men will be invited to participate, regardless of race and ethnicity, as described below if they meet the eligibility criteria. Other than having been diagnosed with anal cancer prior to enrollment, there will no other disease-based exclusions. Because of the high fraction of HIV-positive men are in fact MSM, we will not prescreen men for their sexual orientation.
The exclusion criteria will be age less than 18, a current diagnosis of anal cancer rendered prior to enrollment, an unwillingness or inability (evident mental incapacity to understand the informed consent documents) to give informed consent.

Obama swears age-old oath, embarks on 2nd term quest to restore economy, combat terrorists
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama was sworn in for four more years Sunday in a simple ceremony at the White House, embarking on a second-term quest to restore a still-shaky economy and combat terrorists overseas while swearing an age-old oath to "preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution.
"I did it," a smiling president said to his daughter Sasha seconds after following Chief Justice John Roberts in reciting the oath of office. First lady Michelle Obama and the couple's other daughter, Malia, were among relatives who bore witness.
The quiet moments were prelude to Monday's public inaugural events, when Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will be sworn in on the steps of the U.S. Capitol before a crowd expected to reach into the hundreds of thousands and a television audience counted in the millions.
The trappings were in place -- the flag-draped stands ready outside the Capitol and the tables set inside for a traditional lunch with lawmakers. Across town, a specially made reviewing stand rested outside the White House gates for the president and guests to watch the traditional parade down Pennsylvania Avenue.
A crowd of perhaps 800,000 was forecast, less than the million-plus that thronged to the nation's capital four years ago to witness the inauguration of the first black president in American history.
Debate swirls over Martin Luther King's monumental 'content of their character' quote
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
This sentence spoken by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. has been quoted countless times as expressing one of America's bedrock values, its language almost sounding like a constitutional amendment on equality.
Yet today, 50 years after King shared this vision during his most famous speech, there is considerable disagreement over what it means.
The quote is used to support opposing views on politics, affirmative action and programs intended to help the disadvantaged. Just as the words of the nation's founders are parsed for modern meanings on guns and abortion, so are King's words used in debates over the proper place of race in America.
As we mark the King holiday, what might he ask of us in a time when both the president and a disproportionate number of people in poverty are black? Would King have wanted us to completely ignore race in a "color-blind" society? To consider race as one of many factors about a person? And how do we discern character?

Here comes the Harbaugh Bowl: 49ers vs. Ravens on Super Sunday for pair of coaching siblings
Get ready for the Brother Bowl.
It'll be Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh when Big Bro John's Baltimore Ravens (13-6) play Little Bro Jim's San Francisco 49ers (13-4-1) in the Super Bowl at New Orleans in two weeks.
As much chatter as there will be about the players involved -- from Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis and his impending retirement to 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's sudden emergence -- the sibling angle will make this coaching matchup the most scrutinized in the nearly half-century of Super Sundays.
On Thanksgiving Day, 2011, the Harbaughs became the first brothers to coach against each other in any NFL game. Now they'll be squaring off in the biggest one of all.
The 49ers open as 5-point favorites.
Death toll climbs past 80 at Saharan refinery; Algeria says militants were going to blow it up
ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) -- The death toll from the terrorist siege at a natural gas plant in the Sahara climbed past 80 on Sunday as Algerian forces searching the refinery for explosives found dozens more bodies, many so badly disfigured it was unclear whether they were hostages or militants, a security official said.
Algerian special forces stormed the plant on Saturday to end the four-day siege, moving in to thwart what government officials said was a plot by the Islamic extremists to blow up the complex and kill all their captives with mines sown throughout the site.
In a statement, the Masked Brigade, the group that claimed to have masterminded the takeover, warned of more such attacks against any country backing France's military intervention in neighboring Mali, where the French are trying to stop an advance by Islamic extremists.
"We stress to our Muslim brothers the necessity to stay away from all the Western companies and complexes for their own safety, and especially the French ones," the statement said.
Algeria said after Saturday's assault by government forces that at least 32 extremists and 23 hostages were killed. On Sunday, Algerian bomb squads sent in to blow up or defuse the explosives found 25 more bodies, said the security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
SWAT standoff in Ga. leads to grim findings: a dismembered body and suspect's violent history
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- Police went to Chad Moretz's home to ask him about a friend who had gone missing and quickly found themselves in a tense standoff when a relative answered the door and whispered: "He's got a rifle. He's going to kill y'all."
It was at least the fourth time in 18 months deputies had gone to see Moretz. Neighbors and relatives had accused him of chasing his wife with a machete, threatening to kill a man with a handgun and stabbing a dog with a pocket knife. But none of that prepared investigators for what they found Jan. 11 after Moretz walked onto his front porch with an assault rifle and was killed by a SWAT team sniper.
Inside the home, amid filth and roaches and foul odors, police found the missing man's severed head and two hands hidden behind a kitchen cabinet inside a hole in the wall. The rest of the body, dismembered by a power saw and wrapped in bags, was discovered in a storage locker a half-hour away in neighboring South Carolina.
"I don't believe there was a motive," said David Ehsanipoor, an investigator for the Effingham County Sheriff's Office. "It wasn't a drug deal gone bad or a love triangle. Chad was just crazy."
Medical examiners confirmed the body belonged to Charlie Ray, 35. Ray had been a friend of Moretz, and his family had been searching for him since New Year's Eve.
Sexual offenses, indiscretions are leading causes for firings of US military commanders
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair, fired from his command in Afghanistan last May and now facing a court-martial on charges of sodomy, adultery and pornography and more, is just one in a long line of commanders whose careers were ended because of possible sexual misconduct.
Sex has proved to be the downfall of presidential candidates, members of Congress, governors and other notables. It's also among the chief reasons that senior military officers are fired.
At least 30 percent of military commanders fired over the past eight years lost their jobs because of sexually related offenses, including harassment, adultery, and improper relationships, according to statistics compiled by The Associated Press.
The figures bear out growing concerns by Defense Department and military leaders over declining ethical values among U.S. forces, and they highlight the pervasiveness of a problem that came into sharp relief because of the resignation of one of the Army's most esteemed generals, David Petraeus, and the investigation of a second general, John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan.
The statistics from all four military services show that adulterous affairs are more than a four-star foible. From sexual assault and harassment to pornography, drugs and drinking, ethical lapses are an escalating problem for the military's leaders.
Get ready for the Har-bowl! Ravens beat Patriots 28-13 to set up Harbaugh-Harbaugh Super Bowl
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Oh, brother!
John Harbaugh and his Baltimore Ravens set up a family reunion at the Super Bowl, shutting down the New England Patriots 28-13 Sunday in the AFC championship game.
The Ravens reached their first Super Bowl in 12 years, thanks to three touchdown passes from Joe Flacco and a defense led by Ray Lewis that made Tom Brady look downright ordinary.
Next up for Harbaugh and the Ravens is baby brother Jim and the San Francisco 49ers, who beat Atlanta 28-24 earlier in the day for the NFC title.
They'll meet in two weeks in New Orleans -- what a place for a party to celebrate the first brother-vs.-brother coaching matchup in Super Bowl history.
Bad flu season fuels debate over paid sick time laws, with eyes on a proposal in NYC
NEW YORK (AP) -- Sniffling, groggy and afraid she had caught the flu, Diana Zavala dragged herself in to work anyway for a day she felt she couldn't afford to miss.
A school speech therapist who works as an independent contractor, she doesn't have paid sick days. So the mother of two reported to work and hoped for the best -- and was aching, shivering and coughing by the end of the day. She stayed home the next day, then loaded up on medicine and returned to work.
"It's a balancing act" between physical health and financial well-being, she said.
An unusually early and vigorous flu season is drawing attention to a cause that has scored victories but also hit roadblocks in recent years: mandatory paid sick leave for a third of civilian workers -- more than 40 million people -- who don't have it.
Supporters and opponents are particularly watching New York City, where lawmakers are weighing a sick leave proposal amid a competitive mayoral race.
Obama declares about first lady's new haircut: 'I love her bangs'
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama has rendered his opinion on what he called the most significant event of inaugural weekend: his wife's new haircut.
Said Obama: "I love her bangs. She looks good. She always looks good."
First lady Michelle Obama unveiled the new do in a White House photo released last Thursday, her 49th birthday.
And it has been the talk of the town -- and the airwaves and social media -- ever since.
Obama made the comments Sunday night at a reception in Washington, where he thanked his many donors for their support.
