look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
Appearance: Pours a medium amber-orange tint with an inch of creamy, white head that dissipates quickly to about a 1/4th inch head.
Smell: Citrus, piney resin, mild hop presence.
Mouthfeel: A modest amount of carbonation. I'm not getting the "very carbonated" mouthfeel that others are saying. It has a very wet finish that strangely has me wanting more, although I generally prefer a dry finish. I enjoy the lingering citrus finish.
Taste: Strong citrus (as it's brewed with zested oranges and citrus peel), grapefruit, pine, a slightly sweet malty presence towards the end, and just a dash of slightly bitter hops that make it an IPA.
Overall: It's a modest version of an IPA. Great for anyone looking to try an India Pale Ale without the usual strong presence of hop bitterness that assault the taste buds. The wet, citrus finish is nice and perfect for a hot Texas summer day. It's not a type of beer I'd normally drink since it's a little light on the bittering hops for an IPA, but it's a one time beer that will never be brewed again apparently. Very average overall, but hey it's for charity...

Homefront is a great Saint Arnold brew. A single batch brew that they usually do once a year. Pours a cloudy orange with a finger head. Smells of citrus. Hops still there with the citrus taste. Overall a solid IPA and also supports our troops because 100% of the proceeds go to the military.

Served chilled into a tulip.
Pours a hazy light orange color with an inch of airy beige colored head that slowly recedes.
Aromas of grapefruit and pine with a mineral background. As it warmed I also picked up guava.
Flavors of pine and candied citrus peel. Similiar to Endeavor, but more subdued.
Mouthfeel is medium body and moderate carbonation.
Overall a good IPA for a good cause. Only downside is nothing in the profile really stuck out for me.

Poured a hazy orange with a finger of off-white head. Big aroma of grapefruit, caramel, and tangerine.
Moderate carbonation and a lightish mouthfeel. Biscuit, gentle orange, and light caramel up front with a good dose of pine on the finish.
Drinks much lighter than the aroma indicates, with less citrus than expected. More dry and pine-dominated. Pleasant but not amazing.

1 pInt, 6oz bottle served in Tulip Glass:
This beer pours a slightly cloudy pure gold with hints of copper to the color. The head is quick to rise and slow to settle with a final head of a shaving cream like appearance. The lacing is invisible because the head remains so thick is slopes down from the sides of my tulip glass.
The nose is sweet malts with pine and sharp hops, hints of fruit, vanilla and black pepper. The nose seems weak for as flavorful as this is but my allergies are kicking my ass so the nose is probably a lot better than I can smell right now. The notes I can smell are coming though extremely strong though. So I am erroring on the side of good to exceptional considering how compromised my sinuses are right now.
The taste is a very interesting combination of fruity meets dry with very strong hops as one would expect from an American IPA. What is great is that he hopping is not overdone as many American IPA's are. I have no idea how they managed such contrasting flavor in such an intense fashion that doesn't leave a lingering aftertaste, but they did it. This one had great flavors that is dominated by the blend of hops that just floats perfectly on the palate leaving you very satisfied.
The mouthfeel is smooth and silky without being too heavy. Overall this one is extremely drinkable. Very satisfying and a majorly good beer from the boys and Gals at Saint Arnolds.
And one more major bonus, this beer is an Operation Homefront product. All Profits from the sale of this beer goes to goes to service members and wounded soldiers to lend assistance where it is greatly needed. The fact that I get to drink a great beer and help our soldiers and their families at the same time is just fantastic. Finally someone figured out how to bottle some patriotism.
I highly recommend it. I can't wait to have some more.
Time to stop typing and start drinking.

Thanks to bentwookie for this! Tulip glass.
A: Light golden with excellent clarity, a finger or so of bright white head. Very good retention, leaving a solid cap for a good bit.
S: Pretty big, delicious aroma at first of citrus and melted caramel and some other stuff that passed me by, but it kind of sputters out after a few minutes. Never had that happen before. Pale malt, lemony edge, some floral remain.
T: Piney with some citrus and crystal malt notes as well, a little biscuity, mild+ bitterness on the finish. Tastes more like a hoppier pale ale than an IPA. I'm used to IPAs which are borderline DIPAs, so I expect breweries to cheat upward not downward.
M: Medium body and medium-light carbonation.
O: Solid, easy to drink IPA on the lighter end of the spectrum.

22oz bottle courtesy of SSW117. Poured into Founders snifter.
A- Pours a golden slightly brownish with about a finger's worth of white head that dissipates to a very thin layer. About average carbonation. Leaves some nice layered lacing.
S- Light Maple, oak, malts, a little bit of hops, lightly sweet, definitely below average aroma strength.
T- Very lightly sweet maple, some vanilla oak, a little bit of lemon, a little bit of hops balanced with malts. Finishes with a light vanilla lemon taste. Not your typical IPA, but definitely interesting.
M- Light, refreshing, not too much carbonation, easy to drink.
O- Definitely not like your average IPA. You can definitely get a little bit of the maple and vanilla oak from the aging on the maple bats which is balanced nicely with the light lemon taste from the hops and the malts. Definitely not my favorite IPA, but I actually kind of like it- definitely unique.

A: Pours a crisp clear pale gold with a big bubbly head of cream colored foam on top. Lots of bubble action in the body. Very clean body -- no sediment. Not a lot of complexity in the color of the brew. But decent preliminary lacing.
S: Some sweet caramel malt and some citrusy orangey/grapefruit aroma too. Kind of heavy on the malt and light on the hops though. I like an IPA that blows my nose away, and this isn't that.
T: Very fruity and floral in the flavor. Passion fruit, pears -- with a malt backbone. The taste is good considering what they have to work with, but I like something with a little more hops, lemon, grapefruit, orange, pine flavor. But, this is good.
M: Smooth an creamy; nicely carbonated. Not as oily or velvety as I like. Minimal chewiness. Medium body. Kind of average to me.
O: Decent beer for a great cause. I'd try all the Homefront brews if I could. I'd certainly recommend it, but there are better IPAs out there for sure.

Poured from a 22oz bottle into a pint glass, this arrived in Amarillo today so I'm betting it's mostly fresh. This pours a light golden color with a decent foamy head which has good retention and leaves a lacing. The smells are light and of grapefruit and caramel. The feel is medium. The taste is okay, an okay amount of hop bitterness but then this is overshadowed by the large amounts of malts, this is almost like a double ipa minus the extra hops. Not bad though, but more of an european IPA than the american version.

A: Pours a light golden color with a thick off-white creamy head that has moderate retention in the glass.
S: The smell is all hops with a strong pine and lemon citrus smell. Not much else besides the hop going on here.
T: Whenever I drink an IPA for the first time, I always brace myself for a punch of bitterness that I expect. This does not have that. There is some bitterness and a slight citrus taste that is balanced by a sweet finish with just a hint of bitterness on the tongue. It is unusually balanced for an IPA.
M: A creamy thick bodied feel with medium carbonation on the tongue and a dry finish.
O: I prefer my IPA's to punch me in the face with hops and bitterness. This beer does not do that but it is still a good brew. It does not excel but it is definitely worth a shot - especially since Saint Arnold donates the profits from each sale to Operation Homefront supporting the troops and families.

A- Bright orange to copper coloured with decent sized white head when poured into snifter. Carbonation keeps thin layer of foamy head present throughout.
S- Bitter hops (maybe pine) and orange citrus (Could be the hops, the fruit, or both).
T- Bitter upfront with a tasty orange zest coming next. Slight malt with continued bitterness.
M- Fairly thin, but smooth for an IPA. No real feel of bitterness until swallow.
O- Very tasty ... Oh, and also: U-S-A! U-S-A!

Poured into a half-liter mug, this is a light-colored copper beer with a medium head. Plenty of citrus in the nose, though not much else. Better on taste, which is naturally dominated by the hops, offering citrus, leafy notes, and quite a bit of bitterness. A light but solid malt presence comes through. A tad fruity but mostly clean, yeast-profile-wise.
Solid, drinkable IPA, though the price tag is a high.

Thanks to cwolffman17!
Pours out a light amber - copper color with a nice white head. It has almost no sediment.
There is a nice aroma of citrus. I get orange and grapefruit. There is also a nice aroma of pine. There is a nice caramely aroma to back up the hops.
A lot like the aroma, citrus, orange, pine, caramel, straw. There is a nice bitterness on the finish. Not a hop forward ipa, but still a good beer.
Very smooth ipa. A little resinous in the finish.
I really like this beer. I wouldn't call it an ipa, it tastes more like a pale ale or apa to me.

First off, big thanks to my friend Jeremiah for sending me this from Texas. I live in CA where St. Arnold isn't normally available, and especially considering the rarity of this particular beer, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime event.
I will also start off by saying that it's awesome to see a brewery doing right by the soldiers. Operation Homefront is a great organization and I suggest that you check them out and help the cause. Now, on to the beer...
Keep in mind that this bottle sat in the back of various FedEx trucks for a week while it was shipped from TX to CA, unrefridgerated. Flavors and aromas may differ from those of a fresh, local product.
A- Pours a rich amber-orange color. A careful pour means minimal head, so I can't accurately gauge that. Crystal clear.
S- I pick off notes of orange and other citrus, a little hoppy but very sweet smelling. A little floral. Overall, very inviting...
T- The nose carries through to the taste very well. Not incredibly bitter but like I said, this beer spent a week in the back of a truck going from TX to CA so the hop flavors might be a little muted. Starts off with citrus sweetness, rounds off the backside with a little hop and pine bitterness but very little of it lingers. Pretty well balanced.
M- medium body, medium carbonation. Not much else to say. Appropriate for the style of beer.
O- Very good. As somebody who's a bit spoiled by CA craft beer, this one caught me by surprise. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but this paid off in spades. It's not the best beer I've ever had, but as far as IPAs go, it's up there. Considering the limited run and the fact that St. Arnold is donating 100% of the profits to Operation Homefront, you should go pick some up *now*. This is a very good beer that's helping to support a *great* cause. If that's not reason enough to buy it, I don't know what is.

22oz bottle into a tulip
A: Pours a clear golden orange with a nice white head that fades to a layering and leaves some nice lacing on the glass.
S: The nose is full of tropical fruits like pineapple, apricot, and mango along with a bit of pine and some sweet malt aromas.
T: The taste is similar to the nose with a lot of tropical fruits and sweet malt with a bit of pine and hop bitterness on the finish. Could use a bit more bitterness but it may be a bit older by now.
M: The feel is medium bodied with good carbonation.
O: Pretty good IPA that I'd like to see on the shelves more often. I was a bit surprised by this one as it's not too hoppy and has the big tropical fruit characteristics that I like in an IPA.

Doing this one because I am a Houstonian and I love the troops.
It's beautifully orange and clear. Nice looking head. The smell is wonderfully aromatic of total flower hops. Citrusy and sweet in the nose.
The taste is good. Could be a lot more balanced toward the malt. The aftertaste is extremely bitter.
Overall I like it, but not quite balanced enough.

Poured a clear and crisp golden honey color with 1.5 fingers of bright white head. The head quickly retreated to a thin ring and produced some webs on my glass hear and there.
The aroma is very citrus forward with a touch of caramel malt background. Orange and lemon rind making up the majority of the aroma. I wish that it was more hop forward....
Taste follows the nose. Orange citrus hops with some pine mixed in. Not picking up any of the caramel malt on the taste but I think this is a good thing...
The mouthfeel is by and large the highlight of this beer. It is clean, crisp and has a high level of carbonation (which I think is absolutely perfect on this beer). It goes down incredibly easy.
Overall, this was a solid IPA. I read that it was meant to be more of a sessionable brew with the 6% IPA and I think that in that aspect they hit the nail on the head. I'm already almost done with the bomber and I haven't really noticed until now. I still wish this would have been more of a citrus hop bomb a la Zombie Dust but it is what I expected it to be, nothing amazing but definitely solid.

22oz bomber bottle. Bottle date 5/14/12.
Central Waters globe
A: Loud hiss upon opening. Pours a beautiful clear golden orange color. Full finger of bright white head. Great carbonation streaming off bottom of glass. It's leaving some light lacing, but not tons.
S: Tons of fruity hop aromas. Lots of grapefruit, mango, papaya, and some of that orange marmalade character. There is a little maltiness there, but it's certainly FRESH.
T: Nice hop bite on the tip of the tongue. Prickly carbonation adds to the bitterness in the mid palate. You get a good amount of those fruity hops that you smelled but it's not the overall hop bomb I was expecting. It's nicely balanced actually. As it warms, i am pulling some of that marmalade flavor that I smelled. Very easy drinking. Not a hint of heat at all. Nice crisp dry finish too.
M: Medium bodied.

Brewed as part of a charitable cause for Operation Homefront, this beer pours to a light orange/tan color with a well- filtered body that is completely see- through without a hint of haze. The nose on this beer is one of floral and citrus and the head of foam is nice at first and does leave some lacing as you consume.
Tasting this ale reveals about what one would expect based on the aroma, with some nice citrus notes and a malty backbone that is biscuit- like, bready, and mild. In fact, the entire beer could be described as a milder IPA with a very fresh flavor and an active carbonation that makes it good for summer refreshment. The finish is a little on the dry side and a tad alcoholic, but the beer is still, overall, milder than the average IPA.
Saint Arnold brewed this beer as part of a charity fundraiser and utilized the donations of many different businesses and individuals to bring the beer to market. One surprising "ingredient" used was six Louisville slugger bats, added to the beer tank. I can't say that I can detect any added flavor from the wood, but perhaps my palate simply can't find it. What I definitely can taste, however, is the orange zest used in the process. The citrus flavor is the first thing you taste and it sticks with you throughout the experience, even though other flavors still vie for your attention.
This is a good beer overall and a nice charitable act on the part of Saint Arnold Brewery. Supplies are very limited, so if you want a bottle, you need to act quickly. Only a single batch was brewed and once the bottles dissappear from the store shelves, you will not find it again.

First off, cheers to St. Arnold for a non-profit brew to help military families. I'm happy with my purchase even before I taste the beer.
Appearance: Pale gold glass, very clear, holds a film of foam that gives up a touch of lace.
Smell: Floral hops, rose, with some fresh cut grass. Perfume quality that lets through a lot of sweetness.
Taste: Some citric rind hops in the taste, light, mostly lime peel that goes a bit candied in the finish. Sweet white bread malt punches through firmly leaving the package pretty balanced, like a flavorful APA, or a weaker IPA.
Mouthfeel: Gassy, strong carbonation but a fairly thick body to keep it from going fizzy. Dry finish.
Overall: A real lime quality here that's fairly appealing, but I think I would have been happier with this marketed as a strong APA rather than a light IPA. Held up to IPA standards, this is a bit weaksauce, but it's a fine, tasty APA.
Looking through the website, it's orange zest I'm tasting rather than lime, and they used 6 maple Louisville sluggers in the bright beer tank (http://www.saintarnold.com/news/index.html#homefront).

Bought a bomber at HEB in Round Rock.
A light orange amber look...decent head with a hard pour into my 512 pint glass. Spotty lacing throughout and a nice thin ring remains for the duration.
Nice scent. Resinous pine, but mainly some fresh mango, grapefruit, and other assorted tropical fruits. Love that in an IPA.
Flavors of citrus initilly, and a decent malt sweetness on the background.Leaves me wanting a bit more. Doesn't quite deliver what the scent indicates it will, but a refreshing IPA nonethelsess. Good amount of carbonation...an easy summer sipper. Maybe a nice intro of an IPA for someone not wanting a tongue lashing.
Glad i tried it...but will be picking up a few more fresh Endeavours next time.

22 oz bomber with a bottled on date of 051412 pours a crystal clear gold color with a thick head of white head. Nice retention and lacing...pretty much a great looking beer in the glass.
Nose has some great hop aromas, sticky and tropical. Malts are light and just a bit grainy, no caramel or sugar...just like I like my IPAs. Super fresh beer is always a delight to the senses...especially an IPA.
Taste is good...dank and fresh. Alot of hop flavor with just a bit of bitterness on the finish. Malt is all in the background and is biscuity and grainy. Its a good beer, not great, but the price point drives me nuts. $8 for a bomber of decent IPA? Really? I get that it is for charity, but good lord...I hope 75% goes to the troops. There are plenty of six packs that cover this ground more adequately. I will not be purchasing this one again.

The beer pours a clear golden color with a white head. The aroma has a light hint of grapefruit in it, with a dose of biscuit malt. Overall, the aroma is fairly faint which is disappointing. The flavor is also a bit restrained. I get some resinous pine and some grapefruit, along with the aforementioned biscuit malt. The bitterness is low and the hop flavors just don't come through the way they should in a West Coast IPA. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Decent, but not what I was hoping for.

I am moving to Florida this weekend and was glad to be in Houston for this release. As someone who served in the Air Force, I really appreciate this charity.
My gut here is that this recipe played it "safe" and is aiming at pleasing the majority. With that said, this is still a decent IPA and very sessionable.
A-amber-golden hue. Head dissipates quickly.
M-Very carbonated. This is very refreshing and I could drink a bunch of these by the pool. Light mouth feel.
T-The front is where I get all the grapefruit and orange peel. The citrus quickly fades and becomes a well-balanced IPA. The beer has a very clean finish--not dry at all. My palette stays wet and keeps me wanting more.
Well done, Saint Arnold. Really interested in comparing the Cigar City's version of this. Not sure if it's the same recipe or not.

Koldfront 16 Bottle Thermoelectric Wine Cooler
I love my new wine cooler. My only complaint is that I wish the interior light came on automatically, when the door is opened. As it is, you have to turn it on manually and it is located on the inside back wall of the cooler.

Mexican police officers stand guard at a park in Tlalmanalco, about 18 miles southeast of Mexico City, on Thursday after the discovery of a mass grave.
A mass grave found at a rural ranch in Mexico contains at least some of 12 young people who vanished from a bar in an upscale area of Mexico City, according to reports.
They are believed to have been abducted from the Heaven club in May by drug cartel members in an incident that shocked the country. Their families have said they were not involved in drug trafficking.
Most were in their 20s, but the youngest was only 16.
The mass grave was found in the town of Tlalmanalco on Wednesday after a tip-off about arms trafficking, Mexico's Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam told The New York Times.
Henry Romero / Reuters
Relatives of the 12 missing people attend a news conference revealing the discovery of seven bodies in the grave.
Mexican authorities said 13 badly decomposed bodies have been pulled from the mass grave, which was covered in cement, quicklime and asbestos, The Associated Press reported on Friday.
Mexico's Assistant Attorney General Renato Sales said one victim, Alan Omar Athiencia, 26, had been positively identified through genetic testing and also said there was "sufficient evidence" to identify two other men and two women.
Sara Monica Medina, the head of the federal forensics office, told the AP that the bodies of the other four — Gabriela Ruiz Martinez, Rafael Rojo Martinez, Guadalupe Morales Vargas, and Josue Piedra Moreno — had been identified from implants, tattoos and other physical characteristics. More tests were pending.
A pistol, a shotgun and several pairs of handcuffs were also discovered by investigators who searched a home on the ranch where the mass grave was found.
Maria Teresa Ramos, grandmother of one of the vanished young people, Jerzy Ortiz, told Milenio television: "We have had three months with this anxiety. We are dying every day, little by little," the Times reported.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

BOOKS about the musician Michael Jackson, and a new biography, "Untouchable: The Strange Life and Tragic Death of Michael Jackson," by Randall Sullivan. These days, waist-deep in the defiant hip-hop era, it's easy to forget the nineteen-fifties, when black artists, held back, in various ways, from the new pop America, looked on as white performers appropriated their music and took it to the masses. Artists in niche market always dream of "crossing over" and making it big in the mainstream. Michael Jackson, whose 1982 album "Thriller" remains the best-selling record in history, fulfilled this ambition more spectacularly than any black performer before or since. Jackson started on the outside. He was born into a working-class family in Gary, Indiana, in 1958. His father, Joseph Jackson, had been in a rhythm-and-blues band, the Falcons, and he channelled his thwarted creative aspirations into his children. The Jackson 5 played everywhere, from supermarkets to strip clubs. Order was maintained with a regimen of beatings and whippings, and, later, at the motels they shared, Michael saw his father disappearing with new female acquaintances, and pretended to sleep when his older brothers brought groupies back to the rooms they shared. The Jackson 5 landed an audition for Motown Records, in 1968. The label had perfected the art of crossover; Berry Gordy's label's charm school molded and dressed the artists, and kept their images clean. The group's first four singles went to No. 1. In 1979, Jackson's début as an adult solo artist, "Off the Wall," went multiplatinum; his next album, "Thriller," spawned seven top ten hit singles and remained number one on the Billboard album chart for thirty-seven weeks. One of the cruelties of stardom is that you never know when you've reached your apogee. For Jackson, decline set in almost as soon as "Thriller" fell out of the No. 1 spot, in April, 1984. Sullivan's biography details thoroughly both the bad decisions that led Jackson to ruin and the increasingly foggy world from which he made them. Jackson, perhaps seeking to erase from his body the face of the father who beat him, underwent multiple plastic surgeries. He fell out of step with the world of pop music, which, with the rise of hip-hop, had embraced black musicians who were proudly black, and decidedly uningratiating to whites. His experiments in sexual liminality were troubling; he fell deep into debt through staggering financial profligacy and wrongheadedness. Perhaps the greatest, most persistent source of torment in Jackson's life was his family; once they realized that they had a golden goose in their midst, the Jacksons resorted to all manner of emotional blackmail to leverage Michael's disproportionate appeal for their own benefit. Jackson may well have been the most successful entertainer ever, but there's little doubt that he lost something self-defining along the way. Includes many details about Jackson's music, personal habits, and death.

It takes a lot to blow me away but this new post from new york citizen one just did.
A superb piece of investigative journalism by Theresa Grafflin.
ACO: Investigating the Conspiracy
Here is a taste of what she writes
"I can't leave out NXIVM….yeah, it would be easy to point out that Kevin Luibrand, NXIVM's attorney who seems to rep everyone suing any of the "TU accused conspirators", is repping Liu (no offense SID)…I've discovered an undeniable connection….a Manson-like connection between Asian Human Trafficking Organized Crime (Tongs/Triads) and NXIVM…which of course, all ties to the DA's office…the only law enforcement agency un-fingered by the TU in Port's conspiracy theory."
What a bizarre day it has been. Albany is not my natural turf. That said I have a great deal of fondness for it. The grittiness, the struggling hard working people and yes even the crime it's real. Real people, real stories and honesty, something that is lacking now in my beloved hometown Saratoga Springs. I also have a lot of friends in Albany or as I call them my boots on the ground. They tell me things, some really incredible things
Thank God, we'll have a long weekend to think about everything that's going on with my favorite District Attorney, P. David Soares a/k/a Paulo D. Soares a/k/a P. Diddy Soares (HERE) - and my favorite cult, NXIVM a/k/a Executive Success Programs a/k/a Spend All the Bronfman Brats Inheritance - and try to figure out what it all means.
Today started with competing stories in the Times Union (HERE) and the New York Times (HERE) about the arrest back in mid-March of a Chinese immigrant named Mia Lin who was working at the Green Garden Asian Spa down on North Pearl Street in Albany and who allegedly offered undercover detective Scott Gavigan a little "something extra" from the establishment's menu. No big deal, right - which is exactly how I how reacted until I found out that the spa was owned by Bin Cheng who just happens to be the wife of the Times Union's Senior Editor for Investigations Bob Port.J. Robert Port and his wife, Bin Cheng.My first thought was that the Ports would deny they knew anything about the alleged prostitution and blame Mia Lin for whatever happened with the undercover officer. But, much to my surprise, Port came out swinging (no pun intended) and claimed that the raid on his wife's spa was the result of a conspiracy between the Albany Police Department, the Albany County Sheriff's Office and Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings. (Good luck to the mayor, who had knee surgery earlier today).
One little problem Bob. Your wife was running a jack shack, a rub and tug or a happy ending special. Now maybe the police response was overkill and excessive but my research shows your wife's establishment was well reviewed on Spa Hunters, Upstate New York ECCIE {Escort client community information exchange} and if that's not damming enough usasexguide. The biggest complaint, the public location of your SPA and your prices. No I will not list the sites web address just Google the names or Steve Coffey will be calling me a purveyor of porn
As client big joe so eloquently put it "60 plus 40 tip for a mediocre massage and a mechanical HJ is a little steep for this cowboy." So true big joe, so true. So Bob, can I call you that Bob? seems like we're old friends. I can draw one of two conclusions.
1. You were in on the deal
2. Your love for your wife blinded you to the truth
Either way unfortunately for Bob, his "proof" regarding the existence of this conspiracy was totally non-existent. Seriously, if one of Bob's students wrote a story with the same kind of "facts" that Bob offered up, they would have received a big old F when Bob was teaching journalism courses at Columbia University.
Well, I figured, that was a lot of excitement just before the holiday weekend - and headed back down to my office at Uncommon Grounds in Saratoga Springs {this keeps up I might open a second office at Uncommon Grounds on Western in Albany}. Just after I arrived, my poor little Android phone, I hate apple, even the cities pet dogs have i-phones. Michele Riggi's 30 dogs have designer i-phones but I digress. Anyway {focus john} my android phone started blowing up with emails and text messages about "new developments" in the Bob Port story.
First, I found out that Bob and his wife were being represented by Kevin Luibrand NXIVM member #3839, the attorney that originally represented NXIVM in its attempt to silence cult critic Rick Ross. (HERE). How funny is that, I thought, that a newspaper guy would hire an anti-1st Amendment cult attorney to represent him and his wife against criminal charges that have yet to be filed.
Next, I got notices about the hastily-put-together Press Conference that NXIVM aficionado DA Soares set up for today. And, joy of joys, the topic of the Press Conference was Soares "Enough Program" that is apparently the centerpiece of his re-election campaign.
And why was I so happy to hear about the topic of Soares' Press conference? Because it came up when I was doing some research on P. David and his now infamous girlfriend, Stacy Quackenbush. (HERE).
Just like so many other clowns who love to post their entire lives on Facebook, Stacy (and her kin) love to put up numerous photos to show the world just how much fun their having in life - and make them available to everyone, including me. But, unfortunately for Soares, some of those photos just might prove a bit embarrassing.
Sister Stephanie Rosa QuackenbushQuite the record HERE A busy little girl
She loves cashAnd her fun loving boyfriend BENJAMIN JOHN CLARKE HERE
boys and there toys
Tell me Soares did you get the memo about felons owning assault weapons? So as your heating up the old bar-b-q this weekend and sharing some good times with your loved ones, just think how lucky you are that none of these folks will be coming over for lunch:
by the way, is it just me or is there something really creepy about the "connections" and "relationships" that Soares seems to have with high-ranking politicians like Albany County Executive Dan McCoy (HERE). Well, try adding in the fact that Stacy's mom works for Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (HERE). IS IT ANY WONDER THAT NXIVM OPERATES IN ALBANY COUNTY AND NEW YORK STATE WITH TOTAL FUCKING IMMUNITY?
Till next time unless someone kills me good night...

Wes Anderson and Jason Schwartzman teamed up to create a new short film for Prada, while screenwriter Evan Daugherty (Snow White and the Huntsman) put a dark spin on Super Mario Brothers.

At the risk of mixing one's classic-comedy metaphors ... While watching the ladies of The Mary Tyler Moore Show reunite for a chipper if undeniably poignant exercise in meta nostalgia on TV Land's Hot in Cleveland (Wednesday, 10/9c), you might find yourself wistfully recalling the old Carol Burnett Show theme: "I'm so glad we had this time together." This is especially true for the iconic buddy duo of Mary and Rhoda, with Mary Tyler Moore appearing even more frail than Valerie Harper, whose inspiring public battle with brain cancer pretty much defines the quality once attributed to Mary Richards: "spunk."

Down on his luck copywriter, folk-singer and weekend dad Matthew Broderick gets a second chance at love and a new lease on life when his roommate falls ill and he must host the man's sister in their apartment.
In this sometimes moving dark comedy, Broderick plays Ben-a failed children's folk singer and less-than-extraordinary weekend dad. Deeply cynical, Ben's sole pleasure in life is derived from chess games with his Senegalese roommate Ibou. When Ibou is suddenly struck ill and an insensitive municipal employee exacerbates the emergency situation, Ben's pessimistic worldview seems unequivocally confirmed. But when Ibou's sister Khadi takes his place in their apartment, what starts as an awkward living arrangement becomes something more, and Ben finds that cynicism may be all a matter of perspective.

I had purchased my latest GA foundation - the Face Fabric Second Skin Nude Makeup - from the newly revamped and open DFS Galleria. This is the face fabric foundation, and it costs S$65. I got mine in the shade 1, which is the palest shade. It was love at first swatch - the texture feels silicon-ish , it is like a liquidy creamy powder (yes, I know it sounds crazy but it's true) type of product. The texture is so light, and when it is fully blended out, it leaves a silky powdery finish.
The only drawback is that it has only a light coverage, and I don't think it is going to be setting any records in the longetivity department. I am just totally suckered by the amazing texture and finish, and it is something totally unlike any of the foundations in my stash.
Actual product description from the site:
"Fabric is the reason for my success."
Giorgio Armani translates his skills in texture and layering into its unique range of cosmetic textiles, a wardrobe for face. Face fabric is an invisible makeup with a 3D Micro-fil technology.
Its unique Micro-fil™ formulations bring lightness and fluidity to makeup, allowing infinite blending and layering to enhance the natural glow of the skin.
A subtle, neutral palette is accented with two shades - porcelain and apricot - to be used alone to create a healthy-looking glow, combined with any of the shades to boost the color, or alone to sculpt or highlight the complexion. For normal to oily skin, providing sheer coverage.
the powdery smooth finish
on my face - without any primer
even though it has light coverage (my marks still show through)
but it smooths out my skin, and randers my pores significantly less visible
whatever I need to conceal, I can use my concealer
you can see how light the coverage it
there is overall evening out of skintone, and a slight matte radiance
the finished look - well, if you can call just the foundation & some lip balm finished...
I didn't set with powder, no brows, no blush
I applied Dior Lip Balm for some moisturising effect and color.
I might give this an updated review, in terms of the lasting powder, and all that details in a later entry.
I hope this is helpful, and thank you for reading.

This story initially ran June 29, 2012.
Local lore has it the horse dropped dead on the high ground above Hanover.
The young general had first heard the shelling when he reached Abbottstown, then leaped onto his captured Confederate horse, riding hard across the countryside, into the borough of Hanover. The horse collapsed right there.
Judson Kilpatrick's heroic ride on that day - June 30, 1863 - is not nearly as well-known as a similar dash by Gen. Phil Sheridan at Cedar Creek, Va. Sheridan's horse, Rienzi, is stuffed and on display at the Smithsonian.
But few people know the story of Kilpatrick. Or for that matter, the Battle of Hanover.
The cavalry engagement on the streets and fields around Hanover saw some 7,000-plus Union and Confederate troopers clash in what, in many ways, was a chance encounter. If the rear of one column and the edge of another hadn't stumbled upon each other, the two armies might never have clashed that day.
Hanover's Civil War what-if.
What's known is this: dozens of men died or were fatally wounded that day, here in Hanover. The battle affected the war. And many would go on to further valor, including Kilpatrick, who traveled west to fight under Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman.
As to the horse, some say he's buried in Hanover. No one's sure quite where.
You almost missed it, again.
Now, maybe you don't know a colonel from a corporal. Maybe you count troops and their movements among the subjects that put you right to sleep.
But if you live in or around Hanover, John Krepps said, you might want to start paying attention to your hometown Civil War battle, one that went a long way toward determining the outcome at that better-known fight across the county line.
Krepps should know. He's researched for years and written a book on the subject, and said the battle's 150th anniversary, now just a year away, is drawing ever more people into local history.
"I think it's going to be big - huge," he said, of the anniversary.
Borough planners hope so, too.
The organizers of a celebration slated for next summer to honor both the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Hanover and the 250th anniversary of the town's founding say the event, spanning several days, will feature plenty of activities centered on the battle. The hope is to draw in the uninitiated.
But the Battle of Hanover, fought on June 30, 1863, was always interesting, Krepps said.
If you live anywhere on the southern side of Hanover or near downtown, there's a good chance you live in an area that saw troop movements or fighting, Krepps said. And it was an important battle.
That's because the cavalry encounter pushed Confederate Gen. J.E.B. Stuart and his men farther from the main force of Gen. Robert E. Lee's army, delaying his arrival in Gettysburg and thus hindering Lee's ability to scout the area. While Stuart was already taking the long way up from Virginia, Krepps said, he could still have made the fight in time to make a difference.
Hanover was the turning point that pushed him too far away to be of proper use, Krepps said.
"It was almost like the final nail in the coffin," he said.
The general spurred his horse across a field of tall grass just west of Hanover, the wind in his face and two dozen soldiers right behind, in pursuit and firing their pistols.
He leaped a low hedge, bullets snapping by.
Gen. J.E.B. Stuart was likely dressed to kill, looking as always every bit the knight-errant in his high riding boots, cape and plumed hat. He was considered by many the greatest cavalry officer alive.
He was in trouble.
After an initial Southern surge in Hanover, the Union horsemen had stiffened and rallied, pushing back the Confederates until Stuart found himself in the path of the charging Union column.
Thus the furious chase, and the bold general on his horse, Virginia, galloping suddenly toward a 15-foot-ravine. There was no choice but to leap it.
Stuart did, in the process eluding his pursuers and escaping to fight another day. The jump, though, was not without a cost: Stuart's famed plumed hat.
It was left behind, on the ground in Hanover.
Sonny Eline sat a few dozen feet from the site of the Civil War battle in his hometown. The restaurant's air conditioner hummed. He sipped a Coke.
"It's hard to believe it all happened right here," he said, "by places we pass every day. That's pretty cool."
Eline is in charge of much of the planning for next summer's Hanover celebration.
While it's still early, the hope, he said, is to have descendants of generals Stuart, Kilpatrick and George Custer - all players in the battle - in town for the festivities.
So far, those events include a commemorative ceremony on the anniversary of the battle, as well as distinguished speakers. There could be living-history displays or perhaps small-scale re-enactments.
And Eline said the are plans to plant a new "Custer maple," in honor of the tree on Center Square where the general tied his horse during the fighting.
"There's going to be a lot going on," he said, "and remembering the fighting here and what it meant is going to be a big part of it."
Krepps, a McSherrystown native, said even during the battle itself Hanoverians played a large role.
"I can't think of any town where the praise was so unanimous for the civilians involved," he said, " where soldiers to a man spoke of how well (Hanoverians) cared for those fighting."
It's something to be proud of.
"My goal," he said, "is that you never look at that road between Hanover and Littlestown and the surrounding area the same way."
Lt. Col. William Henry Payne, 33, was born in Fauquier County, Va., and joined the army as a private in 1861. He had dark hair, short-cropped and parted on the left, and bushy side whiskers.
He's remembered for falling into a tanning vat in Hanover.
The young lieutenant colonel began his day in command of the 2nd North Carolina, and on the orders of Gen. Stuart crossed Plum Creek and moved up an alley parallel to Frederick Street to attack the Union line.
Payne and his men reached the square, helping to hold it for a time before being surrounded.
In the confusion of battle, Payne's horse was killed and Payne found his way into the Winebrenner tannery just west of Center Square. From there it's unclear exactly what happened, though the Confederate somehow fell into a large vat of liquid, used to cure leather.
Eventually, that 33-year-old would be the highest-ranking officer taken prisoner. First though, the Southern cavalryman would be pulled from the vat by a Union soldier, who offered a hand and helped him to his feet and then stood by while the young lieutenant colonel caught his breath.
It's said the two stood there for a time, like brothers, and watched the battle together.

Evening Sun editor Marc Charisse will be live tweeting the Battle of Hanover today at 2 p.m. from several spots around Hanover. Charisse will provide both details of the battle and interesting facts surrounding the engagement, which occurred on June 30, 1863, 149 years ago today.
Follow him on Twitter at @esmcharisse, or at hashtag #Hanover149.
On June 30, 1863 the Union Army was headquartered at Frederick, Md., and a division of cavalry under Judson Kilpatrick rode from Littlestown to York for reconnaissance. At the same time, Confederate cavalry commander J.E.B. Stuart began the day at Union Mills, Md., south of Littlestown.
Stuart's cavalrymen came into Hanover that morning while Union troops were dismounted in town, with the 18th Pennsylvania bringing up the rear of the Union column. Because those troops in town were spread out across the area - all the way to Abbottstown - the Southern soldiers decided to push through what they thought might be only a handful of Union men.
The 14th Virginia hit the tail of the Pennsylvania unit near the intersection of what is now Frederick Street and Westminster Avenue.
A counterattack from the Northern soldiers ensued. In the process, Stuart was almost captured.
The afternoon of June 30 brought more confrontation, as artillery for both sides by then was deployed on high ground across Hanover.
Several hours of shelling ensued, as well as feigned charges and counter-charges.
In the end, historians call the daylong battle a stalemate.
Following the battle, Stuart moved south and east toward York, following a roundabout course that would lead him to Dover and Carlisle, and eventually to the Battle of Gettysburg.
Kilpatrick, too, reeled for a time after the encounter, moving to Abbottstown and then East Berlin, pursuing but never catching Stuart's cavalrymen.
The battle pitted approximately 4,000 Confederates against 3,500 to 4,000 Union soldiers. The Confederates had 18 killed or wounded, with the Union Army having 85 killed or wounded.
The encounter is generally considered a Union victory, though many in the larger scheme of the war consider it a draw.
Borough planners are organizing a yearlong celebration in 2013, to commemorate both the 250th anniversary of the founding of Hanover and the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Hanover.
The plans center on a summer celebration around the time of both the battle and the founding. Organizers say that event will last for over a week and feature music, historic displays, family fun and more.
Other events are planned as well, and will be scattered throughout the year, with a New Year's celebration set to kick off the festivities on Dec. 31, 2012.
For more information on the events, contact Borough Councilman Sonny Eline at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tell me about it.. I want to watch the beginning again.. It's good to see that they pull the old .hacks into the mix.. Might need to have it running while I work on the computer case tonight
well as far as franchise raping goes - they have pretty violated it. I dont know if BanDai/SunRuse allowed the chinese to make that video or if it started off a japanese thing that got subbed by the chinese but i think whoever started it first needs to be shot. It just reeks of power rangers. e.g 5 rangers controlling a megazord when the whole thing combines to make an abomination. Something like that cant exist in the gundam timeline. Gundam AGE is an exception to this rule as im told somewhere it has references to Gundam TearDrop - the sequel Gundam Wing. I can understand SD Gundam and Gundam AGE are primarily targeted at the younger generation of viewers but that chinese video was as excrutiating as watching a massive cardboard box full of kittens slowly being put through a meat grinder. Whats next a Gundam anime where they have to compete against each other with Beyblades or maybe giant marbles or chess peices.
Nisemonogatari 4 Hanekawa's new look, quite an improvement over her former "normal" self, and then big surprise: Also Fairy tail: Shut up bietch!!
Fairy Til was great. Can't wait for 116... As for .hack.. Reason I loved Signs and LOTTL, Music.. I remember setting my laptop to play Broken Wings (fake wings) when I shut down. [yt]-C3EIX--s-0[/yt]
I absolutely love Kajiura Yuki's compositions and see saw performances in sign... Damn i havent listened to that song in a while... Synphogear image of the week:
I kept on thinking the girl was bending over... the pic didn't resize it self or something.. lol Might have to look into that anime.. As for .Hack.. yeah, I watched the first 3 of signs last night and was... Wow... And popped in my music collection I have...
i see several people debating about her looks as well as senjogahara's short hair (after tsuhiki phoenix)
I see bloggers sayin she's sexier than ever... Kambaru looks a lot more mature and even more bold, for ex... Nadeko also looks more mature and very bold, the girl knows what she wants... And shinobu, damn...
I prefer iincho-neko as megane-chan rather than the current look, I also prefer Hitagi with long hair, but Kanbaru and the rest are fine.
The new arc for Gundam AGE have started, ep 4 for Rinne no Lagrange had no mecha action but rather some development among the main characters, and there's a new ED for Bakuman 2.
the hell show was that >.> oh, nisemonetc. i'm actually downloading that, isnt it a sequel to something?
Thanks maybe I will have some idea wtf was going on in bakemonogatari after watching these Secondly anyone know of any groups that always release DXVA compatible stuff for my HTPC. Being able to re encode stuff and play dead space at the same time is nice but id rather not have to in the first place

Webster school snow cancellations:
Supt Malkas, Asst Supt. Avlas, DPW's Pizetti weigh in
by Steev Riccardo
Patriot staff
WEBSTER – Today Webster was one of very few school districts in the area to call a snow delay; last week it was the only one that didn't cancel or delay, and that caused a bit of an uproar with town residents, mostly parents, on the Webster public schools' Facebook page.
Webster Superintendent of Schools Barbara Malkas, who lives in Worcester, relies on input from Assistant Superintendent Ted Avlas and the Webster Highway Department before making her final decision on whether or not school should be cancelled.
"At 4:30 I was in contact with my assistant superintendent, who is a resident of Webster, because I am living in Worcester and sometimes even that distance can make a difference in what people are experiencing in the town," said Malkas. "Prior to his conversation with me he was in contact with the Highway Department. At 5 a.m. it was looking pretty positive. We had a weather prediction of 2-4 inches of snow, which is not much, and the total accumulation for Webster was predicted at 3 inches from the National Weather Service. The Highway Department had already done their chemical pre-treatment of the roads and were feeling that when full staff came in at 6 a.m. they would have the plows ready to go and they felt they would be ready to handle it. What a difference an hour makes."
Malkas was also in touch with fellow area school superintendents at 5 a.m. and one of them, Oxford's Superintendent of Schools Allen Himmelberger, told her that he thought that they were going to have school. "I was making the decision thinking we are not looking at 6-8 inches or a foot of snow," said Malkas. "This is 2-4 inches in New England and I am hearing the roads are good to go. Then I left at 5:45 and took my 20-minute commute which turned into an hour-long commute and the conditions were not good, and I own that."
Before she left her house she posted the following message on the Webster School's Facebook page:
"DPW says the roads in Webster are treated and passable and with only 2-4 inches of snow predicted Webster Public Schools will be open and on time. If commuting, please leave a little extra travel time."
At 6:45 the roads in Webster were not plowed and the situation was not good. Even Malkas was surprised at "what a mess" the roads were when she arrived in Webster around that time.
Naturally, the residents were in an uproar and let the Webster Facebook page and the schools know about it. By 7:30 there was word that Bartlett High School Assistant Principle Helen Rowlings was in a car accident on her way to school. She was OK but her car was not. Things were not going as smoothly as planned.
Malkas then posted the following message on Facebook at 9:00:
"So, at 5:00 a.m. when I was in contact with my Assistant Superintendent (a Webster resident), who had already been in contact with the Highway Department. I made a decision based on the National Weather Service Forecast and the information provided to me. These are never easy decisions, and this one was not one of my best. I am owning it and plan to review our protocol with all involved to improve the sharing of good and honest information. My decisions are predicated on the information provided to me and this is imperative. I do want to thank the highway department workers who were out treating roads and trying to plow as fast as possible. I also want to thank the heroes of the day-our bus drivers who did the amazing job of getting students to school safely. As I look out the window, I see that the snow has stopped, so this will allow us to get kids who are in school home safely. As always, we support the decisions of parents in the best interests of their children."
According to Malkas, the decision is made early because the school bus people need to know by 5:45 at the latest and by that time they already have buses running."
"We typically do a thorough review," said Assistant Superintendent and Business Manager Ted Avlas. "I was up at 3:30, we called the DPW and asked them how the road conditions were, they had been treating the roads, the problem we had was that the snow that fell just fell all at once. We were anticipating something that would last from 4:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., but all the snow came down at once. It was the perfect storm, so to speak."
Ken Pizzetti, superintendent of the Webster Highway Department, said, "At 5:20 I told Ted that we were going into mode 2, which means it's dropping the snow fast enough where even though we were using the de-icer, it was dropping snow pretty fast. At that point he told me that Superintendent Malkas had already made her mind up.
"I got a couple of calls from teachers at the schools who said they heard that it was me, Malkas, and the assistant superintendent that make this call. I do not make that call," said Pizzetti. "The assistant superintendent goes off a recommendation. At 4:00 a.m. there was light snow. At 5:20 I told Ted (Avlas) that it was not looking good, and he told me they had already decided. I don't make those calls. I don't know about other towns, but I can tell you that here in Webster we never have."
Malkas said, "I think everyone was making their best decision on the conditions as they were being predicted and what we knew at the time. If I could do a rewind now I wouldn't have cancelled, I would have had a delay.
"What we are going to do as we move forward is that we are going to re-evaluate our protocol, I am going to involve bus operations as part of our decision-making process because they are involved with other districts so they get a little bit better information," she said.
"In retrospect, the best thing would have been to call a delay because by 8:30 it had stopped and the DPW had done their job and everything was passable by then," said Avlas.
Pizzetti said, "I think between Ted and Barbara, they thought we would do a good enough job on the roads, but it's really hard to keep up with a freak storm like that."
Superintendent Malkas called the bus drivers "the heroes of the day. They did a phenomenal job, they had a couple of roads that were not passable so they had to wait for road crews to clear them but there were no accidents but there were heavy delays. They made the right call."
Ironically yesterday, with less than an inch of snow on the ground, school was delayed an hour in Webster. Asked about that, Avlas said it was just a coincidence.
Talk in the past suggests that one reason that Webster doesn't like to cancel school is because of the number of kids that rely on the schools breakfast and lunch plans for food every day. Malkas offered this comment. "I think that Dr. Ciardi (previous Webster Schools superintendent) and myself would both be mindful of that fact that 50% of our kids eat when they come to school, and that is an additional burden that maybe some of our fellow districts don't bear."
She did say that the food plan had nothing to do with this particular decision.
As far as being the one that posts on the Facebook page, Malkas said. "This is the changing of the times. I don't think any of my predecessors were really prepared for what social media has become. We are 24-7 in this job. We need to look and how we use social media in the future."

-- -- -- More than two million and the long term unemployed could lose their unemployment benefits and the engineering questions remain about whether or not a deal will be reached his.
As part of the fiscal cliff negotiations to extend those benefits and some wonder if more extensions are actually a good thing right now on the economy.
Christian -- -- from the Economic Policy Institute Daniel Mitchell a senior fellow at the Cato Institute joining us -- -- you say.
I hear we're those that say listen maybe we shouldn't extend unemployment at this time right now in this economy why not.
Well -- I don't want to sound like Scrooge so what I'll do is I'll quote Paul Krugman and Larry Summers sent to very left wing economists or recent research.
By the San Francisco -- -- our bank.
They all come to the same conclusion.
The more you pay people to be jobless the more likely they are to be jobless and the academic researchers pretty clear that you actually extend and -- Periods of unemployment by providing these subsidies now I agree government should do something.
But don't extend unemployment benefits -- -- pro growth policies so that we get more job creation because that's what we'll help these people the most.
And Christian let's talk a little bit more about that it used to be during the financial crisis that state and federal unemployment benefits would give you got 99 weeks of unemployment right now our longest in our country is around 83 weeks.
In the -- New York what do you think is reasonable right now.
Well look there there were the reason that we have these extended federal unemployment benefits is because we still have incredibly high rates of joblessness I certainly agree that we need a pro growth pro jobs agenda but in the meantime for those people -- currently affected.
There needs to be something that allows them to participate fully.
In the economy and in society.
So you're talking about a very real economic need with such -- rates of unemployment -- higher rates of long term unemployment to continue these federal unemployment extension.
What do you think about that Christian makes the point that these people do not get benefits and they can't participate in the economy began can't go Christmas shopping I will call you Scrooge but let's just say -- this is still the holiday season.
-- what about that what about that that that's when a deal.
