Andygator is bright and yellow as a fresh lemon and has a reflection like a camera flash. It is about 97% clear (allowing for a very minor haze). From above its bleached-white head looks dense and solid as ice, but the air gradually picks away at it, dissolving it almost entirely.
This is a really nice Helles Bock, at least on first impression. The 'je ne sais quoi' of the style is on proud display in the aroma; its sweet, bready maltiness has a depth of flavour not found in simple helles lagers of lower strength. You do indeed get the impression of the 8% alcohol.
...but it doesn't hurt things one bit. In fact, it adds to them. This maltiness, though plain and simple, is sturdy and wholesome enough to soak up the harsh notes and still maintain its grainy, lightly toasted cereal flavour in spite of the odd fruity ester or sting. It even has light caramel notes and a hint of spice that fly in the face of it all.
Helles Bocks are somehow distinctive without being much of anything in particular. These beers are modest; ordinary and unsophisticated upon first inspection. But closer looks (err, tastes) reveal an understated intricacy: a corn bread-like flavour that is sweet and grainy, with hints of grassy, herbal bitterness, and an overall towering maltiness.
Andygator, like all good examples of the style, is very lean but very muscular. It doesn't hit a ton of notes but the ones it does are sung loud and held long. Given the naturally understated qualities of helles bocks I'm not surprised it has failed to impress others, but bock lovers will certainly recognize and appreciate its quality, composure, and authenticity. Good job!

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
Poured into a shaker pint glass.
The beer is a rich crystal clear copper color. A bubbly white head dissipates to a tight film, while only minimal lines of lacing remain on the glass.
There is a spiciness about the aroma leading to a malty backbone with an herbal finish.
The taste has some cereal grains in it, malty sweetness, and a pretty boozy finish.
The mouthfeel is pretty heavy, dry.
Overall: I pretty much liked everything about this except the taste. And the ABV really comes out.

12 oz bottle poured into a Pilsner Glass.
8.0% ABV, Best By 03/11/14 on neck.
A - A tall, clumpy white head rises from the depths quickly, frothing up the glass with sticky white suds. Clear and bright golden in color, Andygator is one fine looking beer.
S - Sweet white grapes give the nose an initial crispness but the maltiness, reminiscent of a fresh, soft loaf of white Wonder Bread, bring some heft from the depths. German hops balance the malt aroma with a fair amount of earthy spice notes for a round beer.
T - Crushed white grapes add soft fruitiness while clear corn syrup drizzles sweetness over the beer's malty, untoasted Wonder Bread base but, hops finish out, more so in this beer than any other doppelbock. Crisp hop spice lends an earthy finish to this beer.
M - The closest characteristic of Andygator to a doppel is the beer's mouthfeel where, despite the elevated, slightly bitter hop profile, the maltiness reigns as this somewhat sweet beer finishes pretty dry from the almost transparent level of alcohol.
O - While Abita calls Andygator a helles doppelbock, it's hoppiness and crisp, clean malt profile lean pretty closely to the maibock style or at least a crossover of the two. Sweet and fruity, the bready malt base of this beer make it just as satisfying as the German "liquid bread" doppels, though finished with a touch of spicy hop character.

Best by 5/27/14. 12oz bottle poured into a tulip. Pours a transparent bright golden with a fluffy eggshell white head that eventually fades leaving nice lacing and retention. Great color. The aromas are full of malts and grains. There's some hints of pear and green apple. The flavors are sharp and crisp. There's an earthy bitterness to this one. Lots of grass too. I'm picking up some lemon too. Some malts. More grains. Very refreshing. Alcohol goes unnoticed. Mouthfeel is great. It's on the lighter side of full-bodied with active carbonation. It's very creamy and fluffy. Very smooth and dangerously drinkable.
This was an enjoyable experience. It's very crisp and refreshing. Well crafted. I would enjoy something like this in the summer.

Relying on a simple malt driven profile ,this beer is very clean. Bread-like notes akin to crystal malts overwhelm the entirety of this beer, with honey and light piney notes in the background. Overall it's cheap and pretty easy to drink with a smooth profile.

Poured into a pint glass from a 12 OZ bottle. Over all not impressed with this beer, one note with no complexity.
Slight apple smell and taste with sweet malty notes. That is all I really get from this beer.
After Thought: I guess I would drink this over apple juice...

22oz bottle into imperial pint.
A: Pours a clear pale yellow color with a foamy, thick, bright white head that rose to three fingers before fading into a well retained film. Faint spotty lace left down the glass.
S: Bready lager yeast, faint lemon hop, light toast, cardboard, musk, and earthy grains. Hints of sweet fruits.
T: Wet grains, doughy yeast, apple juice, spices, caramel and sweet simple syrup. Sweet overall, fruity, grainy. Fairly straight forward. Lager finish super sweet aftertaste fruity.
M: Fuller body, slick and heavy with a chewy and sweet mouthfeel. Soft smooth carbonation. Kiss of alcohol.
O: Sweet smooth and simple. Goes down decently well but a bit too sweet for me to want to drink a lot of.

12oz bottle split between two pint glasses. Best by 3/11/14.
Pours clear golden with a small head. Medium amount of active carbonation. Smell is lagery, lemony, yeasty, a little spicy, maybe a slight hops presence in the lemony/citrus aroma.
Taste is sweet, pleasant, more of that lemoniness. Bitterish aftertaste, some of that lager tang.
Mouthfeel is dry and slick. Overall, not bad.

Pours out to a thick white head that is creamy and lasting with moderate lacing. Color is golden amber. Aroma is grainy and boozy with a touch of noble hop aroma. There is not much complexity to hide the 8 % abv. Flavor is sweet malt, sweet alcohol and a hint of noble hops. There is an imbalance toward sweet flavors, but for such a high gravity this is expected for the style. Mouthfeel is medium and very smooth. Overall, this is a boozy, easy-sipping, high falutin' malt liquor with no off flavors or roughness. It does lack complexity but I like it.

Really like this beer year round. It has a sweetness, with medium body taste, but has an easy drinkability snap. Pairs really well with hearty meats and strong cheeses, and pickled vegetables. The appearance is cloudy wheat color with a nice head. One of our favorite beers from Abita.

ABITA has not bitten me yet.
As 1 reviewer, Beerchitect, wrote, although it starts with a doppelbock feel, it fades into a high ABV, imperial pilsner, and not as subtle lemony or flavorful as the best.
A: Promising pour, 1 finger white head on a golden, visibly carbed clear body... but then once the head settles it's absent much lace or returning. Because this was strong, I consumed in two sessions out of a .5 liter, and the second session felt drab, flat, and alcoholic.
S: Starts lemony, fresh, clean, and round, but dont let it sit because it loses the hop floral bouquet and becomes more medicinal.
T: Follows the smell, and definitely nice right after the pour, but lacking if you drink it slowly, or as I did in two sessions. A nice round, lemony hop clean start.... feel the weight of alcohol on the finish.
M: As noted, it as a medicinal, almost hot finish that was not inviting another.
You can look elsewhere. Better examples from DogfishHead, Victory, SmuttyNose and SixPoint the Crisp. Or for a real double go for:

Pours near clear, pale golden with a good looking head that fades quickly.
I don't get alot in aroma. Light, bready malts, some lemon and a fair amount of sweetness with a tinge of aromatic hops that provide some bitterness in the after taste.
If this is a big bad boy from the bayou, I am not seeing it! I felt that the 8.0 ABV was surprisingly well hidden (which it a plus). This beer was not as advertised but still comes across as a decent lager for me.

Pours a light amber color, very pale ale like. Huge head develops from a standard pour, filling almost half of the standard pint glass with white foam. Dissipation is quite a bit quicker than I would like to see, dropping to less than 1/2" within a minute. Scattered lace remains.
Smell is not that easy to get a handle on. Notes of malt, grain, light fruit, hops, a distinct mustiness riding over all, though not off-putting.
Taste is like a good lager, a decently balanced mix of malt and hops, some more light fruits (apple & pear), some grain, and thankfully, less of the mustiness.
Fuller bodied than I expected, pushing above medium. Effervescence is restrained. Some warming from the alcohol crops up some several seconds after the swallow. A cloying film also develops, sadly, on the palate and, to a lesser extent, the tongue. All told, a decent brew but just that.

A - A beautiful transparent golden honey color. A little more than 1 finger head that fizzled out quickly, at least in my glass.
S - Smells sweet, like sugar water and Frosted Flakes (TM) with a hint of something flowery. Undertones (...erm...underscents?) of the typical lager.
T - This seemed a little bland to me, based on the look and taste - I was disappointed. It has the taste of a cheaper lager with a bit more toast and sugar. You get hints of spice and flora (and a slight tingle of alcohol), but it doesn't match the smell. Thankfully it's not bitter, but it finishes with a grainy taste that is neither good nor bad.
M - Slightly more syrupy than a standard lager, but still pretty light.
O - I bought this on a whim. I was on travel and hadn't seen it before, so I wasn't really expecting anything. It's probably not something I would buy again, but it wasn't bad. I think if it had been a little sweeter in taste with a bit more flavor I would have liked it much better. As is, it just seems like an overly alcoholic lager.

$1.99 for a 12oz bottle @ Siciliano's. Brewed with pale malt, German lager yeast, and German Perle hops.
Pours out to a sparkingly clear medium golden, forming a finely beaded white frothy head with superior retention and lacing, owing in parts to it's brisk carbonation, ~3.5 carbs or so. The nose has a distinct pale malt character with a hint of toast and biscuit. Mouthfeel is crisp, briskly carbonated, medium dense bodied, finishing slightly sweet and with a touch of syrup left in the mouth afterwards. The taste is quite good...pale malt with biscuit note, very clean and letting the malt toast shine through with a well balanced clean bitterness. Medium light DMS in the middle. Grainy notes in the finish. Definite german character.
Comparable to Ayinger and Hofbrau Maibock, this one is pretty tasty. Textbook Helles Bock/Mai Bock. Pleasantly surprised from Abita, who I think generally makes pretty lackluster brews. I would buy it again when in the mood.

Brilliant gold in color with great clarity and moderate carbonation. A light wisp of foam rests on top of the beer. I get a lot of light biscuity malt and lager yeast. The mouthfeel is smooth and brisk. The flavor is more light malt and biscuit like flavor.

While this beer is a pale yellow color, it definitely appears to be pretty thick. The head is bone white and sustains one finger's height for the duration, dropping quite slowly and never fully, as the strong half-finger or so that lasts the entire session leaves behind deposits of lace that spread some legs and cling in heavy spotting.
I didn't know what do expect from this beer, and I'm not sure what to think of it. Ultimately, it's pretty good, but it's extremely unusual. The nose brings out lots of floral, not quite leafy or grassy hops but with elements of both in a softer type of earthiness. There's some honey-like sweetness running through. The 8% is well masked.
The honey note runs strongly through with a little malts support along with the floral hops. The dryer taste of the pilsner malt is much more strongly evidenced.
It's smooth with a solid crispness in a medium body and some sort of thickness to it; it's not viscous, per se, but on the heavier side despite the crisp, clean effect.

This is a big bad boy from the bayou. Abita has produced some lack luster brews in the past, but this one is really good. As far as bocks go this follows all the rules. Nice carbonation, good yeast back, clean finish. Strong ABV but well hidden. Had mine in a 22 oz bottle, uhm take two and call me in the morning. Had mine with a couple nice roasted chicken breast the wife had waiting on me when I got home from work.

Nice malty aroma. Toasty on the back end. Medium body with some toffee sweetness, pilsner malt, pleasant earthy hop on the back end with some fusels. They could of brought the abv down a little or gave it a touch more sugar. Only downside to it IMO
Overall. Got it in a trade as an extra and glad i did. Not a style i get to enjoy often, would have it again if i saw it but nothing to seek out.

Apple's iTunes Store is a big, cloud-based place, with more than 200 million customers. And for a year and half, some of those customers have been complaining loudly and frequently on the company's discussion pages about problems tied to fraudulent charges that may have happened because their accounts were hacked.
The problems seems to be quite acute for users of iTunes gift cards, which are available in supermarkets, drugstores and just about anywhere prepaid cards are sold.
"This happened to me last night," said user jcoffman99 in the discussion forum this week. "Got the email from Apple saying to check as an unauthorized computer downloaded songs. Yep sure enough, my gift card balance was gone. I love how in the email all they say is you should change your password."
Yet another person who goes by Magda_M posted this week:
I've had my iTunes account for years and years and never experienced a problem then yesterday for the first time EVER I enter in a gift card and now all of a sudden my account gets hacked.
I received an email from Apple saying my apple ID was being used on a device previously unauthorized. With weird Chinese characters as the app name. When I logged into iTunes I saw that my "credit" went down to $3 and just yesterday it was $25 while I have not purchased anything. When I checked my account my CC info has been deleted. No other changes have been made.
I find it intriguing how many of the reports include a depleted gift card. I'm wondering if the "redeem" page I used is the problem here and that's how these hackers got the info.
The only way someone would know my password would be to steal it from Apple. I'm using a brand new MBP and it hasn't left the house yet. No one else uses this computer. My wireless network is secure.
I do have a new iPad 2 that was authorized as a device about a month ago. But I've made many purchases between when I first got it and yesterday and no unauthorized activities took place until I entered in that gift card.
AppleInsider suggests "one possible explanation is that the company's iTunes gift card algorithm has been cracked. In 2009, iTunes gift vouchers surfaced on Chinese websites for pennies on the dollar after hackers allegedly discovered a way to generate codes."
Earlier this week The Global Mail reported, in a lengthy piece about the fraud issue, "Most of the amounts stolen are at the low end, ranging from a few dollars to about $500. In most instances, Apple has agreed to restore the lost funds, as a 'one-time exception to our sales policy.' The company will not comment on whether they are working on a permanent fix."
We asked Apple for comment about the ongoing problem, and have not heard back. If we do, we will update this post.
The company did give a statement to AppleInsider, saying that Apple "takes precautions to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Apple online services such as the Apple Online Store and iTunes Store use Secure Sockets Layer encryption on all Web pages where personal information is collected."
In the summer of 2010, Apple did acknowledge that 400 iTunes accounts were hacked and used by a Vietnamese developer to promote his iPhone apps to best-seller status. At that time, with 150 million iTunes account holders, Apple said the hack only affected 0.0003 percent of those accounts.
But what's been happening since then is much more serious. "My account is linked to my PayPal that's linked to my checking and they literally stole all of my money in my checking account," posted a user called elitez28 on the discussion forum this week. "Already sent in the support ticket, not very happy at this point."

Two Areas of Cloverdale Included in Entertainment District MapsA final proposal for Montgomery's second entertainment district is in the works and it would allow people in two parts of Cloverdale to walk to and from restaurants and bars with alcoholic beverages.
The original proposal for the Cloverdale entertainment district was for the area around East Fairview Avenue near El Ray and Sinclair's, but now, Montgomery City Councilman Arch Lee is trying to include the area surrounding Cloverdale Road.
Two neighborhood associations in midtown, the Cloverdale Idlewild Association and the Old Cloverdale Associations have already voted in favor of it.
"I think it would be good, I think it would bring a lot of young people to the area and revitalize this area of town," Frann Bonn, a 12-year Cloverdale resident, said.
Lee says he is drawing up maps for the district next week, and says the feedback from the community is overall positive, with only a handful of nay-sayers.
"I think its great, the area has so much character, and with the history of the area, so I think it's great," Bradley Moon of Wetumpka said.
Tony Reid thinks the entertainment district should include both business areas in Cloverdale. "I hang out at the Pine Bar occasionally and sometimes it's nice to have some other things to do in the area, so I think it'd be great to have other venues for activities," Reid said.
The latest proposal includes restaurants and bars around East Fairview Avenue, like the 1048 Jazz Bar and Sinclair's, but also stretches a few blocks away on Cloverdale Road to places like True, Pine Bar, and the Chophouse.
Some surrounding local businesses say the district would do wonders for Cloverdale.
"That is another element that would bring to our store, to have people walking around and pop in when they didn't know about us," said Heather Steen, co-owner of the Hue Studio Inc.
Unlike the downtown entertainment district, Cloverdale is in a large neighborhood, so a few residents said they were concerned the open-container policy could cause problems.
"It would be something to consider," Bonn said, "But with everything there is always a good and a bad side, always a flip side."
"Montgomery is kind of a nice quiet little town," Moon explained, "Compared to a lot of the other bigger cities; I don't see that happening at all."
After the map of the entertainment district is decided, the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (ABC) will need to approve it and then Arch Lee says it's up to city council to make it happen.
Lee expects a decision in February or March and patrons walking around with drinks by spring.

Legislation introduced this week in Nevada could result in speed limits of as much as 85 mph on some Interstate roadways.
The measure in the State Senate would allow the state Department of Transportation to increase speed limits from 75 mph along rural sections it determines it would be safe.
State Sen. Don Gustavson reportedly has 16 of the 21 senators signed on as co-sponsors of the bill. Gov. Brian Sandoval has not taken a public position on the matter and the state DOT is said to be neutral.
The bill would also allow the state DOT to continue to have authority to set lower speed limits for commercial vehicles, a power it currently has, but has not used.
It now awaits action in the Senate's Committee on Transportation.
Problem is most companies govern their trucks @ 70 or less. The disparity in speeds will cause some deadly crashes. To say nothing about increased fuel consumption.
I remember when Nevada had no speed limit except when you hit the city limit.That was before the interstate was even completed.Wide divided for lanes, flat zero scenery land, there needs to be no limit,All speed limits do is put drivers to sleep. Go for it Nevada.One way to look at it is if something happens would you rather be a paraplegic or dead? The latter would be the better choice.

In an ironic twist of fate, the state that produced Olympic medalists Aly Raisman, Tim Daggett, and Peter Kormann is removing boys' high school gymnastics from official competition.
Over the objections of area coaches, the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association decided last week to end recognized competition among the handful of high schools that have boys' gymnastics teams. The seven schools with all-boys' gymnastics programs are Andover, Attleboro, Braintree, Burlington, Lowell, Newton North, and Newton South.
Steven Chan, the boys' gymnastics coach at Newton North, said if the MIAA changes go through, and schools subsequently drop their boys' gymnastics teams, male gymnasts will be forced to join girls' teams just to get a chance to compete. Many girls' high school gymnastics teams carry boys on their rosters already, and Chan expects that number to grow.
Chan said that the MIAA and its member schools should be adding boys' gymnastics teams, so more boys have the opportunity to take up the sport.
"They should be promoting the sport, rather than dropping the sport," he said.
Tom Giusti, athletic director at Newton North, said there are between 12 and 16 boys competing on his high school's varsity squad. He said he plans to have a discussion with Chan about the MIAA's decision and what it means.
One thing is for sure: He wants to maintain the boys' gymnastics program at the high school.
"Since we have the facility and we have the equipment, we'd still like to continue to offer it at Newton North," said Giusti.
An MIAA spokesman, Paul Wetzel, said that its board of directors voted 10 to 2 to drop boys' gymnastics as an official sport on Jan. 16.
"It's not going to be a recognized sport," said Wetzel.
The decision will be effective for the 2013-2014 school year; teams will finish out the current season, which ends with the state tournament early next month. It means that schools can continue offering gymnastics to boys as a club activity that they organize on their own, but any events they hold will not be sanctioned by the MIAA. Current examples of club sports include sailing, rowing, riflery, rugby, and fencing.
"There are some schools that do club gymnastics," said Wetzel. "And they're free to keep doing that."
Many high-level gymnasts — such as Raisman, the Olympian from Needham — often train in private gyms.
Wetzel said that MIAA officials opted to drop boys' gymnastics because the National Federation of State High School Associations (better known as NFHS) announced that it would no longer be writing national rules for boys' gymnastics, according to Wetzel.
In April 2012 the NFHS made that "difficult" decision due to declining participation in boys' gymnastics, according to NFHS spokeswoman Becky Oakes. "The number of states that sanction boys' gymnastics had dropped down to a point where it was no longer practical that we were writing a national set of rules for the sport," said Oakes. "We were down to three states that really recognize boys' gymnastics."
Across the country, 109 high schools reported having boys' gymnastics squads during the 2011-2012 school year, according to NFHS records. Fewer than 100 of those schools were holding regular interscholastic competitions, according to Oakes.
In Massachusetts, 10 high schools offered boys' gymnastics programs last year, and 221 male gymnasts participated on those teams, according to Wetzel. At the same time, participation in girls' gymnastics was far higher, with 1,252 female gymnasts competing at 97 schools.
"There's just not enough schools that have it," said Wetzel. "It just isn't there."
The number of boys in Massachusetts competing in high school gymnastics has remained low for a decade. (In 2001-2002, eight high schools fielded boys' gymnastics teams, and 205 boys participated on those squads.)
"It's a girls' sport," said Wetzel, referring to the lopsided participation rates. "When was the last time you watched boys' gymnastics? They don't get on the cover of the Wheaties box. They don't get the endorsements."
But several area gymnastics coaches disagree, and view the situation much differently.
Boys' gymnastics has a long and storied history in Braintree, where it has been a mainstay at the high school for more than half a century, according to Ellis. Braintree High has won more than 20 state championships and produced several star athletes, including Kormann, who won the bronze medal at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, and went on to coach the US men's Olympic team.Continued...

Homeless Tally To Be Released Soon
By Tony McVeigh
Frankfort, KY – Last year in Kentucky, there were more than 81-hundred homeless men, women and children. That's about 75 more than two years ago. Davey King of the Kentucky Housing Corporation says a new count was scheduled for late January, but was interrupted by the ice storm. "Doing a point-in-time count across the state is a huge undertaking. And when we had to reschedule that, it really did impact the availability of volunteers, the amount of outreach we were able to do, so, we feel, it did impact the data that we were able to collect."
Next week in Frankfort, Governor Beshear is scheduled to release the data that was collected. The governor is also expected to announce the use of some of Kentucky's federal stimulus dollars for homeless programs in the commonwealth.

Stalybridge Celtic0
Vauxhall Motors1
MOTORS finally ended a barren run of five consecutive defeats with an 89th minute 'smash & grab' winner at Bower Fold.
Whilst the home side dominated for long periods of the game, Motors soaked up the pressure then hit Celtic with the sucker punch in the final minute courtesy of a goal from substitute Louis Moss.
Vauxhall manager Carl Macauley said: "We've soaked up an awful lot of pressure but there was no time that I felt the game was going to get away from us.
"We continued to plug away and got our reward thanks to a clever finish from Louis Moss. Celtic will feel they've been unlucky but that's football for you."
The early exchanges were all for the home side with Lewis Hatch unleashing a fierce drive against Craig Ellison's left hand post then Jonny Lindsay firing over and Tom Buckley dragging a shot wide but Celtic were unable to break the deadlock.
On 42 minutes, on loan Robbie Booth went close when his cross-come shot floated over Celtic keeper Alex Cairns but wide of the post.
Motors improved in the second half and were unlucky when debutant striker Ashley Stott – signed from Witton Albion – was inches away from converting a teasing left wing cross from David Thompson.
At the other end Andy Nicholas did well to block a point blank header from Dennis Sheriff then Hatch clipped the bar on 70 minutes.
Just two minutes later, Celtic were reduced to 10 men when Hatch was shown a straight red card following a poor challenge on Motors' new signing Louis Barnes.
Stalybridge still pressed for a winner however, on 89 minutes, they were caught on the counter attack and Booth's left wing cross was headed home by Moss to give the Motormen a much-needed three points.
MOTORS are at home to Boston United on Saturday. Kick-off at Rivacre Park is 3pm

In America the number of Cocaine addicted people is more as compare to other. Now, it can easily available in the market most of the adult population who take the drug. This is really very bad and it is need to come forward and try to stop is drug marketing and make the people aware of drug addition.
The price of cocaine varies greatly between rich countries
EVERY year the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime publishes a report with lots of fascinating data on the production and consumption of illegal drugs around the world. This year's report highlights a few interesting trends: despite all the effort put into the war on drugs, the street price of cocaine in Europe has dropped relentlessly over the past two decades (even adjusting for inflation and impurity). This may explain why Europe is now almost as big a market for cocaine producers as America. The numbers we have picked out below show the variations in price between a selection of different countries, as well as the percentage of the adult population who take the drug.

Steve Sailer
Steve Sailer | |
Born | United States |
December 20, 1958
Nationality | American |
Alma mater | Rice University |
Occupation | Journalist, columnist, blogger |
Home town | Studio City, Los Angeles |
Website | |
isteve.blogspot.com |
Steven Ernest Sailer is an American journalist and movie critic for The American Conservative, a blogger, a VDARE.com columnist, and a former correspondent for UPI. He writes about race relations, gender issues, politics, immigration, IQ, genetics, movies, and sports.
Personal life[edit]
Sailer grew up in Studio City, Los Angeles.[1] As a child, Sailer appeared alongside four other grade school students on the "Kids Say the Darndest Things" segment of Art Linkletter's House Party. He majored in economics, history, and management at Rice University (BA, 1980).[2] He earned an MBA from UCLA in 1982 with two concentrations: Finance and Marketing.[3] In 1982 he moved from Los Angeles to Chicago,[4] and from then until 1985 he managed BehaviorScan test markets for Information Resources Inc.[5] In 1996, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and in February 1997, he was treated with Rituxan. He has been in remission since those treatments.[6] He became a full-time journalist in 2000[7] and left Chicago for California.[8]
Writing career[edit]
From 1994 to 1998, Sailer worked as a columnist for the conservative magazine National Review, in which he has since been sporadically published.[9]
In August 1999, he debated Steve Levitt at Slate.com, calling into question Levitt's hypothesis, which would appear in the 2005 book Freakonomics, that legalized abortion in America reduced crime.[10]
Sailer, along with Charles Murray and John McGinnis, was described as an "evolutionary conservative" in a 1999 National Review cover story by John O'Sullivan.[11] Sailer's work frequently appears at Taki's Magazine[12] and Alternative Right,[13] while Sailer's analyses have been cited by newspapers such as The Washington Times,[14] The New York Times,[15] the San Francisco Chronicle and The Times of London.[16][17] He has been featured as a guest on The Political Cesspool.[18]
Sailer's January 2003 article "Cousin Marriage Conundrum", published in The American Conservative, argued that nationbuilding in Iraq would likely fail because of the high degree of consanguinity among Iraqis due to the common practice of cousin marriage. This article has been republished in The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2004, and in One World, Many Cultures.
After the 2004 US election, Sailer discovered a very strong correlation between voting patterns and fertility rates. He described the fertility link in an article in The American Conservative: "Among the 50 states plus Washington, D.C., white total fertility correlates at a remarkably strong 0.86 level with Bush's percentage of the 2004 vote. (In 2000, the correlation was 0.85.)"[19] Writing in the New York Times, pundit David Brooks referred to this article as showing the "surprising political correlations" of what he dubbed "natalism".[20] Sailer later discovered a slightly stronger correlation between marriage rates and voting, and dubbed his theory of modern American voting as "Affordable Family Formation": "a state's voting proclivities are now dominated by the relative presence or absence of affordable family formation."[21] The correlation between home prices, marriage rates, and voting was verified by George Hawley at the University of Houston, using county-level data for the 2000 election.[22]
In 2008, Sailer published his only book, America's Half-Blood Prince, an analysis of Barack Obama based on his memoir Dreams from My Father.
Sailer is the founder of an online discussion forum called Human Biodiversity Discussion Group, whose members he has described as "top scientists and public intellectuals".[23][24][25]
Views and criticism[edit]
Sailer cites studies that say, on average, blacks and Mexicans in America have lower IQs than whites,[26][27] and that Ashkenazi Jews and Northeast Asians have higher IQs than whites.[28][29] He says that prosperity helped blacks close the IQ gap.[citation needed] He suggests that a problem with mass immigration of non-white Mestizo Mexicans into America is that native-born whites in the US will become a master caste to a non-white servant caste.[30] He also considers that "for at least some purposes—race actually is a highly useful and reasonable classification,"[31] such as providing a very rough rule-of-thumb for the fact that various population groups may inherit differences in body chemistry that affect how the body uses certain pharmaceutical products,[32] for "finessing" Affirmative Action when that's economically convenient,[33] and for political gerrymandering. Sailer has also argued that Hispanic immigration is "recreating the racial hierarchy of Mexico" in California:[34]
While upwardly mobile Mexican-Americans marry blonde Anglos, downwardly mobile white men wed Mexicans. Now, there is no doubt plenty to be said for getting hitched to a Mexican lady. They probably tend to make better mothers, homemakers, and cooks than the leggy blonde careerists who, however, are so much more in demand in Southern California. But sadly, there is a big social cost to Anglo-Hispanic marriages—which raises severe doubts about America's ability to assimilate Latino immigrants. As pro-immigration/pro-assimilation researcher Gregory Rodriguez admits, "Surprisingly, in most homes headed by an Anglo/Latino couple, Spanish becomes the household language."
Thus, those L.A. blue-collar whites who don't flee to Utah will tend to assimilate genetically and culturally into Latino culture."
Rodolfo Acuña, a Chicano studies professor, regards Sailer's statements on this subject as providing "a pretext and a negative justification for discriminating against US Latinos in the context of US history." Acuña claimed that listing Latinos as non-white gives Sailer and others "the opportunity to divide Latinos into races, thus weakening the group by setting up a scenario where lighter-skinned Mexicans are accepted as Latinos or Hispanics and darker-skinned Latinos are relegated to an underclass."[35] Sailer considers Hispanic a non-racial characterization,[36] identifying non-Hispanic White Americans as second-class citizens because of affirmative action, which he claims has caused and will cause more and more "anti-white pogroms".[36]
During the United States presidential election, 2004, Sailer estimated that based on the intelligence tests from military records of candidates George W. Bush and John Kerry, Bush probably had a higher IQ by about 4 IQ points.[15][37] In a report on the findings for The New York Times, journalist John Tierney called Sailer "a veteran student of presidential IQ's", and cited the judgement of Professor Linda Gottfredson, an IQ expert at the University of Delaware, that Sailer's study was a "creditable analysis".[15] Although citing Bush as having a higher IQ, Sailer has condemned Bush as "irresponsible" and "uninterested in proficiency and honesty".[38]
Sailer summed up his view on nature and nurture in October 2012 as:
If you analyze a host of real world outcomes using adoption studies, fraternal v. identical twin studies, twins-raised-apart studies, the history of early childhood intervention research, naturally-occurring experiments, differences between societies, changes over history, and so forth, you tend to come up with nature and nurture as being about equally important: maybe fifty-fifty. The glass is roughly half-full and half-empty.[39]
Sailer's article on Hurricane Katrina was followed by accusations of racism from left-wing organizations Media Matters for America and the Southern Poverty Law Center.[40][41] In reference to the New Orleans slogan "let the good times roll", Sailer commented:
What you won't hear, except from me, is that "Let the good times roll" is an especially risky message for African-Americans. The plain fact is that they tend to possess poorer native judgment than members of better-educated groups. Thus they need stricter moral guidance from society.[38]
Conservative columnist John Podhoretz, responded in the National Review Online blog by calling Sailer's statement "shockingly racist and paternalistic" as well as "disgusting".[42]
Sailer describes his personal ideology as "Citizenism", which he explains as:
I believe Americans should be biased in favor of the welfare of our current fellow citizens over that of the six billion foreigners... A huge number of Americans grasp that we are lucky to be American citizens and they want to pass on their good fortune to their posterity undiluted.[43]
He views this as an antithesis of racism, and he argues that African-Americans, Jewish-Americans, European-Americans, and other groups can rally behind this. He has also stated that "White Nationalism is worse than a crime, it's a mistake" and argued that the ideology, if widely adopted, would actually hurt American whites rather than help them.[43]

Alex Kurtzman: People Like Us
Produced by:
Alex Kurtzman got his start in television, writing episodes for Hercules and Xena: Warrior Princess. He and his longtime collaborator, Roberto Orci, went on to create the series Fringe, and co-wrote big blockbusters including Star Trek and Transformers. Admittedly, championing a small-budget passion project was quite the transition, and Kurtzman let the script stew for eight years. He speaks with Elvis about the original title for People Like Us, the personal experience that inspired the film, plus, Elvis' favorite episode of Hercules: Porkules.

State Representative Tyrone Brooks (D-Atlanta) stood his ground on very historic ground Thursday, deflecting the 30 counts of fraud recently leveled against himThe federal indictment claims Rep. Brooks siphoned nearly $1 million from charitable organizations under his leadership over the course of 17 years. Brooks say it isn't so."We know that the reason that we have been under attack by the government over the last few weeks and the horrible things that have been said about me personally is a direct result of our involvement in the Moore's Ford Bridge movement," Rep. Brooks said.The longtime civil rights leader spoke out Thursday afternoon from the spot in Monroe County where two black couples were lynched in 1946. Rep. Brooks says the federal indictment is the result of this work in trying to solve the decade's old crime.At Thursday's news conference, Brooks responded to why the administration of President Obama and U.S. Attorney Eric Holder would target him."I'm not going to accuse the President or Attorney General Holder of anything. I can say this, the FBI, from 1946 up until today as an institution, has not seen fit to pursue these criminals and bring them to the ball of justice," he said.Former federal prosecutor Amy Weil says she disagrees, calling the targeting of someone over his work on a decades old crime inconceivable. "The FBI has been looking into this lynching from 1946 and they've made movement on the case," Weil said. "So, it's very hard to understand a defense which would be the federal government's going after Mr. Brooks to try to encourage the investigation."The U.S. Attorney and the FBI in Atlanta declined to comment on Rep. Brooks' statements

A number of months back I remember going onto the My Verizon website to see that there was a Mobile Remote App available for the Android operating system. And in line with the Android phones that had this capability was the iPhone, with the words "coming soon" across the photo... Being an iPhone user myself I was absolutely ecstatic when I saw this. Now, a number of months later, I still find myself going into the iTunes App Store and searching for the words "FiOS Mobile Remote" to no avail. And also, when I go back to where I first saw the promising photo of the possibility of Mobile Remote coming to the iPhone, it is NO LONGER in the lineup!!
So, with all that said... Is there still a possibility that Mobile Remote will come to iOS? I'm sure that I'm not the only one out there that would be overly excited to see this possibility come to fruition.
It's also available for a couple of Windows Mobile phones. This is pure speculation, but I imagine the iPhone app will be available as soon as the iPhone itself is available on Verizon's network. (Which may or may not ever happen, tons of rumors and no hard facts.)
It makes sense, since Verizon wants its customers to be using as many of their services (phone, video, internet and wireless) as possible.
I've been using the app on my iphone for well over a month. Just search the app store, it is there.
Now it would be a super cool app if I could stream recorded programs from my DVR to my phone via the app. This would make going out of town on business a little easier.
@ssanders79, I believe the app that you are talking about is the Verizon FiOS DVR Manager app.... I too, have been using that app for quite a while. But the App that I am talking about is the FiOS Mobile Remote, that allows you to control your Verizon FiOS cable box with your iPhone (change channels, view the guide, etc.). Pretty much do everything that you can do with your remote, but with your phone.

Electrolux EI30EF55GS Freestanding Electric Range Review
$2,199.00- 0
- 10
An odd assortment of some of the highest and lowest praise.
Running over $2,000 on sale (MSRP $2,243), the Electrolux EI30EF55GS straddles the line between mid-end and high-end ranges. Unfortunately, this range reminds us that price and performance aren't always so correlated and while this was certainly a decent range, two grand seems excessive.
While its rangetop did exhibit a great temperature range and had no weak burners—all under twelve minutes to boil six cups of water—there weren't any effective power burners either.
The conventional oven definitely had some issues averaging the target temperatures, but the oven's broiler and convection mode had some of the best results we've ever seen.
This range seems to have very little that's just average about it, with some impressive aspects and some unimpressive ones. Before reading this review, think about what you need in a range. This may have it, or it may not.

In the spring 2014 women's fashion issue, T looks at the way women really want to dress. See all stories from the issue >>
All Past Issues »
With Vainglorious, T beauty editor Sandra Ballentine breaks down the latest spas, salons and products for your aesthetic pleasure.
Who: Sharon Dorram Color at Sally Hershberger
What: This newly opened salon, which occupies two levels of an Upper East Side town house, serves primarily as a luxe hair lair for Dorram, who lightens and brightens the locks of Kate Winslet, Sarah Jessica Parker, Uma Thurman, Gisele Bundchen and Renee Zellweger, among others. The soothing palette of Dorram's area was inspired by her favorite Birkin, complete with a crystal chandelier and Bagues sconces, while Hershberger's taste is represented by hot-pink and saffron curtains in the styling rooms and George Nakashima-inspired station counters.
Where: 17 East 71st Street; (212) 535-3519.
When: Dorram gilds her lilies five days a week; Hershberger's clients can catch her here on weekends.
Why Bother: It is pretty. Plus, there aren't many editorial-quality salons located right off Central Park. Most of us don't have the budget for a session with Hershberger ($800) or Dorram ($225 and up), but there are a clutch of other talented stylists and colorists who, while not inexpensive, will do right by your tresses. I haven't tried any colorists here, but can highly recommend the senior stylist Tim Rogers and junior stylist Mauricio Bermudez for cuts and blow-dries. Mayu gives really good manicures.

My good friend, Michael Rasmussen, and I have had a number of interesting conversations and debates over the last few years. Many have focused on what the term GRC means, with both of us ascribing to the OCEG definition as a capability that enables optimized performance through the management of risk while acting with integrity (my phrasing). Recently, Michael concluded a 'rant' (his word) about how the analysts view the so-called GRC market. I recommend it to you at http://www.grc2020.com/?p=1239.

The Advanced Bash Scripting Guide is both a reference and a tutorial on shell scripting. This comprehensive book, the equivalent of 1,000+ print pages, covers almost every aspect of shell scripting. It contains 382 profusely commented illustrative examples, a number of tables, and a cross-linked index/glossary. Not just a shell scripting tutorial, this book also provides an introduction to basic programming techniques, such as sorting and recursion. Included scripts are the Game of Life, a Perquackey variant, a Morse code trainer, and an implementation of the Gronsfeld Cipher. This book is suited for both individual study and classroom use. It covers Bash, up to and including version 4.2. Note that users of miniaturized single-board computers running Linux, such as the Raspberry Pi and the Beagle Bone, would find this Guide useful for learning and running Bash scripts to explore and expand the capabilities of these small, but powerful machines.

So how can you reshape your rear side and finally rid yourself of those t-shirt ripples?
