Anderson is active for Sunday's game against Seattle.||||||| He is active for the first time since having surgery on his left knee, which he hurt in a 45-3 loss at San Francisco on Oct. 7.
The Buffalo Bills continued to target improving their pass rush in free agency by signing Anderson.||||||| Listed at 6-foot-4 and 255 pounds, Anderson has 35-1/2 sacks in six seasons, including 10 last year with the New England Patriots. Selected in the fifth-round of the 2006 draft by Chicago, Anderson spent four-plus seasons with the Bears before finishing the 2010 season playing with Williams in Houston.

The 6-foot-4, 255-pound lineman had 12 sacks as a rookie in 2006, helping the Bears reach the Super Bowl. He had only nine sacks over the next three seasons and has none this year. Houston has been looking for a defensive end to complement All-Pro Mario Williams, who has five of the team's nine sacks this season.
The Chicago Bears have terminated the contract of Anderson, who four years ago made a rookie club-record 12 sacks.||||||| Anderson, a fifth-round pick in 2006, was a pass-rushing sensation in his first season but never developed into the player the Bears expected after that fast beginning.
Anderson has signed his one-year tender offer from the Chicago Bears.||||||| Anderson has 130 tackles and 21.5 sacks in four years but has struggled since an eye-opening rookie season in 2006. He had 12 sacks that year, the most by a Bears rookie and the most by a Chicago player since Richard Dent's 13.5 in 1993, while helping Chicago reach the Super Bowl.

Heilemann Falsely Claims GOP Becoming 'Whiter,' 'More Blue Collar' and 'Less Well-Educated'
On HBO's Real Time Friday, New York magazine's John Heilemann trotted out the same old tired and completely false cliches about the GOP that Americans are going to hear ad nauseum for the next eight months.
"The Republican Party is becoming just truly is becoming a whiter, more blue collar, more populist, less well-educated party" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
JOHN HEILEMANN, NEW YORK MAGAZINE: Yeah, and look, I mean, I think it's an amazing thing in the sense that, you know, James and I were talking about this before. The Republican Party is becoming just truly is becoming a whiter, more blue collar, more populist, less well-educated party, and more and more a religious party. And they cater to that base and just in a systematic way are making it impossible for them to win national elections. They are, you know, driving first Hispanics out of the party. They're driving women increasingly out of the party. And they find these places where they think they can get narrow advantage and then they go too far. And this is one of the instances that I think is, there's a logic to it, but it's a faulty logic.
Do facts actually bear this out?
Let's start with gender, as the recent media meme is that Republicans are driving women away.
In 2008, according to exit polls, 56 percent of women voted for Obama, and 43 percent went for McCain.
Yet two years later in the 2010 midterm elections, 49 percent of women voted for a Republican in the House versus 48 percent for a Democrat. As such, contrary to Heilemann's view, Republicans gained female support in 2010.
As for "becoming whiter," four percent of African-Americans, 31 percent of Latinos, and 35 percent of Asians voted for McCain in 2008. In 2010, these numbers jumped to nine percent, 38 percent, and 40 percent for House Republicans respectively. As such, contrary to Heilemann's view, Republicans gained minority support in 2010.
As for "more blue collar," McCain got 49 percent of folks making $50k or more and 49 percent of people making $100k or more. In 2010, House Republicans got 55 percent and 58 percent respectively. As such, contrary to Heilemann's view, Republicans became less blue collar in 2010.
Finally, as for education, let's be clear: in 2010 much as in 2008, the overwhelming percentage of folks without high school diplomas went Democrat. In 2008, 63 percent of high school dropouts voted for Obama. This number was 57 percent for House Democrats in 2010.
No matter how folks like Heilemann want to spin it, the least educated in this country virtually always vote for Democrats. Period!
As for the most-educated - meaning post-graduate degrees - Republicans improved on this number in 2010 garnering 45 percent of their vote versus McCain's 40 percent.
Across every other education level, Republicans improved their numbers from 2008 getting 52 percent of high school graduates, 53 percent of folks with some college, and 58 percent of college graduates.
Add it all up, and Heilemann was wrong on all counts. Yet this man is a revered contributor to MSNBC.
Tells you a lot about that farce of a so-called "news" network, doesn't it?

So, the GOP is the party of the average American, the lower class, church attending, blue collar worker while the Democrats have become the party of the Social Elite, the upper class, college educated, white collar "1 percenters." Nice of them to finally admit it!
By the way, liberals, it must surely get your panties in a twist to realize that it's the "minority" who are, by far and lager, the most religious people. For example: If the GOP is the Party of the Pope, as the liberals love to assert, then just about every Latino in the world will support them! There's not too many atheist Latinos, you know. The VAST majority of them are devout Catholics (which is why you'll rarely see a Latino on the news complaining about how the Pope, or religion in general, is "interfering" with politics. THEY support the Pope AND the freedom of religious expression, especially in politics!)! By attacking Catholicism, YOU just lost an entire ethnic demographic! That, alone, will be enough for you to lose the Presidential election. HA HA! Ain't Karma a bitch?
Think about it, Liberals. These are the people who are so devout in their religion that even their imprisoned criminals keep shrines to the Virgin Mary in their cells! Is this REALLY the kind of people you can realistically claim to represent when you scream, at the top of your lungs: There MUST be a Separation of Church and State?" That there's "no room" for religion in politcs? Come on, you can't actually be that stupid! Or can you?

Less Educated and Blue Collar do not mean stupid
Submitted by TSM on Sat, 03/03/2012 - 4:58pm.
I am so tired of the media and pundits confusing "less educated,' and "blue collar" with stupidity. I know a lot of blue collar people that are very well-read, informed, and have a ton of street smarts and common sense. Not to mention that many blue collar jobs require a higher education...just not an acedemic education. On the flip side...I know a lot of "educated idiots." Certainly, learning a trade, or a college education are important to financially succeed in this country, it just doesn't guarantee making a person "smart."

And what do liberals consider
Submitted by Slyrr on Sat, 03/03/2012 - 5:18pm.
And what do liberals consider 'diverse, white collar, and intelligent'?
A black president who is dangerously inexperienced, incompetent and lawless.
An angry black woman establishing a 'Nutrition Gestapo' that terrorizes school children by ransacking their lunchboxes and throwing away their food.
A latino Supreme court justice who says she 'knows better than whites'.
'White Collar':
Putting tax cheats in charge of the treasury.
Putting gun-running racists in control of the Justice Department.
Putting know-nothing hacks in control of conquered companies, running them into the ground, then blaming the media.
Putting moon-pie lunatics in charge of their 'green jobs' fiefdom.
Putting Wong-Fong-Schlong in charge of the energy department and letting him say he's 'glad that gas prices are high'.
Saying that 0-1=2. (Nancy Pelosi and her blatherscite about how spending unemployment money increases revenue)
Obama saying that -3 Trillion MINUS 20 Trillion = out of debt.
57 states.
Navy 'Corpse-men'.
Telling police that they're 'stupid' then trying to smooth it over with booze.
Telling young women it's OK to screw around recklessly, then saying abortions are good for 'women's health'.
Eagerly making deals with known enemies and backstabbers, only to later feign astonishment when the backstabbers inevitably break the deal.
Saying Obama's election would 'end racism'.
Saying Obama's election would 'keep unemployment below 8%'.
Saying Obama's election would lower the levels of the sea.
Saying 'we have to pass our laws before we can find out what's in them'.
Trying to 'deem' their agenda into law.
Giving deadly weapons to Mexican drug lords, just to try and wreck the 2nd Amendment.
Cutting health aid to the Army.
Cutting funding for the army in the middle of global upheaval and chaos.
Cutting our nuclear arsenal in the middle of global upheaval and chaos.
Refusing to produce domestic energy in the middle of global upheaval and chaos.
Refusing to produce food in the middle of global upheaval and chaos.
I could go on and on and ON. If THIS is what the liberal left considers to be 'diversity, white collar and intelligent', then they can KEEP it. Looks like the white, blue collar dopes are the smart ones.

The 'educated' seem to confuse the amount of years or dollars spent in an educational institution as proof of superior intelligence. However what a highly 'educated' person has attained is a lot of knowledge in a narrow subject area and outside of that subject area (because their education has been so focused) they are almost helpless.

If your car breaks down, does your mechanic need to consult three or four "specialists" in order to fix it? You know, like a doctor needs to, say, treat your brain tumor? Your highly educated doctor, after spending six years learning his trade in a university, and several more years as an intern in a hospital, along with several years experience in private practice, will inevitably feel the need to "consult" a neurologist, an oncologist, a surgeon, an anesthesiologist, five or more nurses, ect. So, just how "smart" is he, really?

Prince, this year's Billboard Icon, has debuted a song off his new album with proteges 3rd Eye Girl, tentatively titled Plectrum Electrum. "FIXURLIFEUP" is more rock-oriented than, say, "1999," although Prince's spoken word may as well be a thesis statement to his entire career. "Don't worry about what the crowd does, just worry about being what you love," he says, before he wields a guitar solo to funky bass.
CBC Canada premiered "FIXURLIFEUP" on Friday, in time for tonight's Live Out Loud tour launch party in Vancouver. According to music news website Dr. Funkenberry, Prince will make a brief appearance so that he and 3rd Eye Girl could perform songs off Plectrum Electrum. Hear "FIXURLIFEUP" at CBC, then check out a brief jam session featuring Prince and 3rd Eye Girl after the jump.

Trailing Dora by an 11-point deficit going into the fourth period, Carbon Hill mounted a 33-point rally to earn a thrilling 62-54 victory to secure a spot in the county tournament title game on Friday night in Carbon Hill.
Next up for Carbon Hill is a matchup with top-seed Parrish for the Walker County Tournament title scheduled for 7 p.m. today.
Gerald Smith had an outstanding performance for Carbon Hill, recording a double-double with 17 points, 21 rebounds and five blocked shots to lead the team. The matchup between the two Class 4A, Area 8 rivals proved to be an intense battle that would also be marred by four Dora second-half technical fouls.
Dora held a 40-29 lead going into the fourth quarter, but the lead didn't last.
Carbon Hill cut the gap to 43-37 with 6:15 left after a Daniel Woodard basket. The score sparked a 17-4 run.
Following a Dora technical foul that resulted in a pair of free throws, Carbon Hill finally drew even at the five-minute mark when Gerald Smith went in strong for a layup that notched the score at 43-43. From there, Carbon Hill took control. Ryan Simerly knocked down a 3-pointer and John Bray knocked down a pair of free throws. Dora didn't get closer than four points the rest of the game.
Carbon Hill (16-7) led by as many 10 points at 61-51 after a pair of Gerald Smith free throws in the closing minute.
"I'm very proud of our kids' ability to keep their composure — I think that was the biggest key in the game," Carbon Hill coach Robert Epps said. "Dora had momentum going their way and lost their focus a bit, which led to a few plays that ended up costing them the game. They're a well-coached team — I think it was just one of those incidents that occur in the heat of battle. Dora's a great opponent and it was a great win for us and our team."
Dora held a one-point lead in the first period, 9-8, before extending their edge to 27-21 going into the half after outscoring Carbon Hill 18-13 in the second period.
Dora stayed on top in the third period, outscoring Carbon Hill 13-8 for the 40-29 lead.
The fourth period, however, would belong to the host team.
Carbon Hill forced 18 turnovers in the final period and held Dora to 14 points to clinch the 62-54 come-from-behind win and advance to the championship game.
For Carbon Hill, John Bray contributed with 12 points, while Daniel Woodard had 11 points and Stevie Simerly scored 10 points.
Keliel James scored 15 points to lead Dora (14-7), with Devonta Gosha recording an 11-point night. Deionte Smith had 10 points.
Dora takes on Oakman at 2 p.m. today in the third-place game.
Parrish 68, Oakman 27
The top-seed Parrish Tornadoes (21-1) locked up a spot in the Walker County Tournament championship game on Friday, defeating the Oakman Wildcats 68-27 at Carbon Hill.
Jermichael Harris had a great night on offense for the Tornadoes, scoring 28 points to lead the team. Desmond Brown recorded his second-consecutive double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds. Barry Hill contributed to the Parrish defense with five blocks.
"Our guys did a great job of taking quick control of the game and really putting pressure on Oakman. Each one of our players played a key role in forcing turnovers and getting the ball to open guys for good shots," Parrish coach Heath Burns said. "Our kids have played hard to earn a spot in the championship game and we expect to have a great game against Carbon Hill — we know they'll come into the game ready to give us everything they have."
Parrish opened the game on a 14-0 run before ultimately settling on a 17-4 lead in the first period. The Tornadoes offense continued to put up good numbers, scoring 20 points while the defense held the Wildcats to just 8 second period points to take a 37-12 edge into halftime.
Parrish outscored Oakman 19-10 in the third period to remain on top 56-22, before holding a 12-5 scoring edge in the fourth period for the 68-27 victory.
Parrish takes on the Carbon Hill Bulldogs at 7 p.m. tonight for the Walker County Tournament title. Oakman will face Dora in the third-place game at 2 p.m.
Parrish has split two regular-season games with Carbon Hill. The Tornadoes won at Carbon Hill early in the season. The Bulldogs got even with a win at Parrish earlier this month.

They were joined by deputy U.S. marshals and heavily armed members of the LAPD SWAT team. The agents and cops were wired, tense with anticipation, for they were hoping to take down the FBI's most wanted man, a criminal who had evaded capture for more than 16 years despite one of the largest worldwide manhunts in history.
That man, these agents believed, was living with his mistress in an apartment complex in Santa Monica just five miles from where the task force had assembled. James "Whitey" Bulger, criminal mastermind and Top Echelon FBI informant, was wanted for racketeering, extortion and drug dealing, as well as for his alleged participation in at least 19 murders. The agents believed Bulger, now 83 years old, was living under the alias Charles Gasko at 1012 Third Street, two blocks from the beach in Santa Monica, always paying his $1,145 rent on time, always in cash. The painstaking planning centered on how to capture Bulger now that the FBI was convinced it finally had him in its sights. Bulger was considered to be armed and extremely dangerous. An ex-con who had served time in California's infamous Alcatraz penitentiary, he had sworn he would never go back to prison.
The Bureau did not want to screw it up this time. For years the agency had been humiliated time after time in locations around the world—from England to Australia, Italy to Ireland—as tips and reported sightings had failed to produce an arrest. Bulger was a phantom. There was rampant speculation that he was in fact the FBI's least wanted fugitive, that the Bureau was merely making a show of trying to find him for fear of the consequences of his arrest—of what his secrets would reveal not just about the underworld but about the U.S. justice system itself.
At last the bust was about to go down. Sharpshooters had the tree-shaded building surrounded. Fearing a shootout, they decided not to break down the door and go in with guns blazing. Instead they concocted a ruse to lure the gangster from his lair. Agents contacted the building manager and instructed him to call the apartment. When the man they believed was Bulger answered, identifying himself as Mr. Gasko, the building manager told him a storage locker he was using in the basement of the building had been broken into and asked him to come down to make a claim.
The balding, white-haired man shuffled from the apartment and took the elevator to the basement. He wasn't noticeably surprised or even upset when he walked into the trap and found a small army of federal agents with guns pointed at his head.
"James Bulger!" an agent yelled. "You're under arrest! Put your hands on your head. Drop to your knees. Lie facedown. Hands behind your back."
Agents swarmed around him like paparazzi on Brad Pitt. There was that familiar click and grip of the cuffs around his wrists.
"Yes," he admitted, "I am James Bulger. You got me."
Whitey Bulger smiled. At last he could stop running.
The agents took him back upstairs to the apartment, where his 60-year-old companion, Catherine Greig, awaited. There the investigators uncovered almost a million dollars in cash and a huge arsenal of weapons.
Bulger looked at his longtime live-in girlfriend, on the run with him for all these years. "Honey," he said, "it's time to go home."
Phones rang in the offices of cops, agents, politicians, lawyers and prosecutors and in the homes and hideouts of crooks big and small all over the globe. Bulger's flight had ended.
For Whitey Bulger was not just some run-of-the-mill bad guy. He was a mythic figure, a folk hero and ruthless murderer, the great criminal mastermind of our time. Loosely portrayed on the silver screen by Jack Nicholson in the Martin Scorsese film The Departed, Bulger ranks on a level with Gotti, Capone and Escobar, and even higher in his hometown of Boston. While executing his alleged 19 hits—strangling and stabbing his victims, dismembering their bodies and yanking out their teeth with pliers to thwart identification—Bulger and his partner, Stephen "the Rifleman" Flemmi, ruled the New England rackets for decades. All the while, it had long since been revealed, they were what is known as Top Echelon FBI criminal informants, or TEs. They were FBI assets. While Bulger and Flemmi ran New England's underworld, they were protected and allowed to remain active by high-ranking officials within the Department of Justice.
The FBI claims that after a 16-year manhunt it finally got wind of Bulger's whereabouts after disseminating a 30-second public-service ad focused on his female companion, the elegant Greig, a former dental hygienist who was known to frequent beauty and nail salons. Aired primarily during women's TV shows such as Ellen, The View and Dr. Oz, the ad produced more than 200 calls. According to inside sources, a young deputy U.S. marshal zeroed in on the lead that ultimately led agents to Bulger—a mere two days after the ads started to air.
The tip supposedly came from Miss Iceland 1974, Anna Björnsdóttir, still stunning at 58, a former B-movie star living in southern California. Björnsdóttir recognized Greig, whom she had befriended over a stray cat the ladies encountered in the streets of Santa Monica. That pussy cost Bulger his freedom and earned Björnsdóttir a $2 million reward.
But in the highest realms of the Department of Justice, and for students of the Bulger saga everywhere, the capture is not the end of the story but a new beginning. The gangster is a man of many secrets. He holds information that if exposed would send shock waves through the hallowed halls of the Department of Justice. Here is Bulger's opportunity to end all the lies and tell the world what he knows.
There is one man who stands to gain the most by having the truth emerge. That man is former special agent John Connolly, Bulger's FBI handler. A long time ago Connolly was a highly decorated agent. Now he has been in prison almost as long as Bulger was on the run. Connolly was headed to the yard for a workout at a federal prison in North Carolina when he heard about Bulger's takedown. All through his workout, the news of the arrest played in Connolly's mind. When he finished his exercises and returned to the housing unit for the evening count, Bulger's capture was all over the airwaves.
Connolly's side of perhaps the biggest law enforcement scandal of our time has never been fully told. Until now. In a series of telephone interviews from prison, Connolly spoke about the potentially game-changing arrest of Jim Bulger, his longtime Top Echelon criminal informant.
"Was I surprised to hear they caught Jim?" Connolly says. "Yes…but then again no. Yes because Jim had been a fugitive for so long, and as an FBI agent I realized the trail of someone that bright and that disciplined is usually ice-cold after 16 years. I knew Jim Bulger wasn't going to be making the usual mistakes that result in fugitives being apprehended.
"Later," Connolly remembered, "when I caught up with the news on TV, it hit me. This thing is going to get blown wide open. The potential evidentiary value of Whitey Bulger finally exposing the truth of his relationship with the Department of Justice—and what was done to me to cover that up—cannot be overestimated. That could finally set me free."
South Boston is a neighborhood in the true sense of the word—an Irish American enclave physically and psychologically separate from the rest of the city. It even has its own song: "Southie Is My Hometown." In the Old Harbor housing project, three Irish American youths were born before World War II to a shared destiny: One would reach the lofty heights of the famously clannish Massachusetts political machine, one would rise to the highest ranks of national law enforcement, while the third would seize the bloody crown of the New England underworld. All three would end up embroiled in a scandal that reached the highest levels of the American justice system.
Whitey Bulger got his elementary education in crime as a teenager running with a Southie street gang known as the Shamrocks. He became a journeyman criminal in league with a crew of bank robbers while still in his 20s and was named to the FBI's most wanted list. Bulger did his first major prison stretch at the federal penitentiary in Atlanta. While there, in the 1950s, he volunteered to ingest massive doses of LSD as part of the CIA's MK-Ultra program. Becoming a human guinea pig earned him a reduction in his sentence. He was transferred to Alcatraz, the Harvard of penitentiaries, where he received the equivalent of a doctorate in criminality. An avid reader and a long-range thinker, Bulger studied military history and warfare tactics while locked up, absorbing such classics as Sun Tzu's The Art of War and Machiavelli's The Prince. He emerged from the penitentiary a master criminal on acid and was soon in the thick of the mob wars raging in Boston in the 1960s and 1970s, working his way up until he was running the notorious Winter Hill gang out of Southie.
Whitey's younger brother Billy took the opposite road. He became a "triple eagle" graduate of Boston College High School, Boston College and Boston College Law School before entering local politics. After 17 years in the state senate, Billy was named president of the University of Massachusetts. Later, after his gangster brother absconded from the law in 1995, Billy was hounded out of public life by then Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating Whitey.
Like most of the kids in the neighborhood, young Johnny Connolly was in awe of Whitey. He heard the stories of Whitey having an affair with a stripper from the Old Howard burlesque hall and running off with a traveling circus while most kids were still in school. But Connolly was closer in age to Billy Bulger, and they became friends. Connolly chose to follow Billy's lead. He got a good education before embarking on a career in law enforcement with the FBI.
As a young street agent in Manhattan, Connolly was walking along Third Avenue on a cold December day in 1972 when he recognized fugitive Boston mafioso Francis "Cadillac Frank" Salemme walking toward him. Salemme was a suspect in numerous gangland hits and had been indicted for planting a car bomb that blew one of the legs off a Boston attorney. After a foot chase that ended when Connolly tackled Salemme at the corner of 81st Street, Connolly took the fugitive into custody virtually single-handedly. With the Salemme arrest, Connolly got his wish: He was transferred back to his hometown to work the underbelly of Boston, where both the Irish and Italian mobs were thriving even as they warred for dominance.

Fantastic article
John should not only be exonerated by whitey Bulger but also by the entire justice departments !! Great article
I enjoyed the article but as a friend of "a young US Marshall zeroed in on the lead" I find it odd that Playboy didn't mention his name. Neil Sullivan was THE reason that Whitey Bulger was captured. The FBI was secondary to Neils' relentless work to apprehend a fugitive and his work should be noted.

PLAYBILL VAULT'S Today in Theatre History: JULY 17
By David Gewirtzman
1953 Actress Maude Adams dies today. Born in 1873, Adams, at the age of 32, played the title role in James M. Barrie's Peter Pan when it had its American premiere at the Empire Theatre in 1905. (Nina Boucicault played the role in London in 1904). Barrie wrote the part with Adams in mind.
1971 Nicol Williamson marries actress Jill Townsend today. Williamson, a stage actor well-known to Broadway, is best known for essaying many Shakespearian characters, especially Hamlet, which he has done numerous times at different venues across the globe. Newspapers reported that he became a little too physically animated in Paul Rudnick's comedy, I Hate Hamlet, causing costar Evan Handler to file a complaint and leave the show.
1985 Benn W. Levy's Springtime for Henry is revived by the Roundabout Theatre Company at the Christian C. Yegen Theatre Off-Broadway. Peter Evans, Tovah Feldshuh, George N. Martin and Jodi Thelen comprise the cast of the production helmed by Tony Tanner. (The play's title is the inspiration for the supposed über-flop Springtime for Hitler in Mel Brooks' 1968 film "The Producers" which will play on Broadway in 2001.)
2000 Christmas in July! Book writer Paul Blake adapts the 1954 movie musical, "White Christmas," for the stage. Charles Repole directs the world premiere of the show at The Muny in St. Louis, Missouri. The show has a cast that features Howard Keel, Karen Mason, Lee Roy Reams and Lara Teeter.
2001 Broadway found itself full of Bologna today, as husband/wife acting team Joseph Bologna and Renee Taylor brought their two-person stage memoir to the Cort Theatre. It was titled If You Ever Leave Me...I'm Going with You!
2008 [title of show] — the musical that would rather be nine people's favorite thing than 100 people's ninth favorite thing — opens at the Lyceum Theatre. Originally produced at the Vineyard Theatre in 2006, the entire original cast — including co-creators Jeff Bowen (score) and Hunter Bell (book) as well as co-stars Susan Blackwell and Heidi Blickenstaff — make the leap to the Broadway stage with the show.
2008 Larry Haines, a stage and television actor who gave a Tony Award-nominated performance as the humane Dr. Dreyfuss in Promises, Promises, a 1968 musical version of the Billy Wilder film "The Apartment," died in Delray Beach, FL. He was 89.
Today's Birthdays: James Cagney 1899. Grace Durkin 1914. Phyllis Diller 1917. Mimi Hines 1933. Donald Sutherland 1935. Diahann Carroll 1935. Ethyl Eichelberger 1945. Lucie Arnaz 1951. David Hasselhoff 1952.

On-tap at Bootlegger's
A: The pour is an amber-copper sort of color with a thin off-white head.
S: A sweet, malty nose with a touch of spicy hops and a distinct fruity note. Some light floral and sweet citrus hop aromas.
T: Sweet fruits and malts up front which are the main flavor components. There are some nice bread notes and a flavor that I usually associate with rye. A sort of lager yeast character too, that comes out of nowhere.
M: The body is medium with a medium level of carbonation.
D: I'm not sure exactly what to make of this. I suppose i haven't had a ton of Alts, so it's still sort of an unfamiliar style to me. I liked it, but didn't love it.

Pours orange/amber with a quickly vanishing head.
The smell is of sourish cherries, caramel and bready yeast.
The taste is of caramel, some sour cherries - cherry-pie-ish because of a toasty breadiness. There are some grassy notes. Not an "alt" as I've ever had, though it is "interesting". It has a sweetish/tartish finish.
It's a bit watery with an alcohol dryness. It claims to be "medium-bodied" but is thin/light bodied.
Not very good, but interesting. I ordered this over the I-net (my first I-Net purchase - a reputable seller), but there is no freshness date on it, so tough to say how fresh it was. Something sourishly "off" about it.
Thanks to jcwattsrugger for hauling it up from his house in Florida, where I had to send it since they couldn't ship to New Jersey.

A 22oz bottle poured into a large glass reveling a foamy off white head with a sparkling sweet aroma. The tall head sits atop a caramel amber body that gleams goodness. The aroma has a unique complex malt character that stands out but doesn't over power the nose or the palette. Toasted caramel and a hoppy citrus flavor occupy the taste buds on the tongue while the mild sweetness transitions to a flavorful dry finish. This is to easy to drink for something that is so complex and flavorful.

22 ounce bottle from Town and Counry Liquor in Fullerton, onto the beer:
Poured into a boot, the head is compact on this orangish amber colored brew. I was expecting a bigger body out of this brew, but this has good session beer written all over it. Mild levels of malt, with a bit of hop leaf. There are notes of grape and toasted dark bread. That dries into bread crust and vague clove. Hmmm...I would drink this again. It's nice to see a new microbrewery in my home of Orange County make this uncommon German style of beer.

On-tap at Bootlegger's,
A: Pours a medium to dark amber with a moderate off-white head, solid retention.
S: Crystal malt, nice and fruity, not too fragrant though.
T: Tastes pretty much like an amber ale with a light hop bitterness. Malt heavy. The minerality and lager smoothness that I've found in Dusseldorf really isn't there. Average flavour.
M: Medium-bodied, average smoothness, crisp.
D: Innocuous little amber beer. Drinkable, but Bootlegger's makes a ton of better stuff.

DON'T GET HER WRONG. Denise Dabney loves her job as lead planner in the Mayor's Office of Jobs & Community Services for the City of Boston. It's just that the Dorchester resident, who moved from Virginia to Boston with her parents in 1960, wishes she had more time for volunteer work and to pursue other interests, such as her passion for genealogy. But as is the case for many baby boomers, financial and other realities often trump wishful intent.
Dabney, for example, helps support her 90-year-old mother. In addition, she calculates that she'll be paying college tuition for her youngest child, now 15, until 2019. "I wish I had the financial freedom to do some other things, but that's not the case for me or for a lot of people like me."

Ford jobs fallout across Hampshire (From Daily Echo)

Cuts and Swaythling Transit plant have knock-on effect across Southampton
5:00pm Monday 16th March 2009 in Ford Transit Factory Exclusive By Simon Carr, Eastleigh Chief Reporter
AROUND 100 workers face the axe as the aftershock of huge Ford cutbacks hits the supply chain.
These job losses come after it emerged the motor giant is to slash its 1,100 strong Southampton workforce by almost half.
The Daily Echo understands contractor Penske Logistics is planning to shed around 30 people while Hamptons is looking to cut 35 jobs.
Another 25 have just lost their jobs at nearby Magna Seating and a handful may be lost from smaller companies who also supply the plant.
Union bosses fear more may lose their jobs if the financial situation worsens.
Ian Woodland, Unite union's regional officer, said: "We are doing all we can to save as many jobs as possible in the supply chain.
"It is disappointing but unsurprising with the reductions at Ford. We are now playing a waiting game."
The devastating news that the company was looking to shed 500 jobs was exclusively revealed by the Daily Echo last month.
The bombshell came after nervous workers had endured weeks of downtime and extended shutdowns.
Ford staff remaining at the giant Swaythling operation fear they will be £300 a month worse off with the loss of overtime bonuses and shift allowances.
Terry Vincent, Hampton's operations director, said: "We have been affected by the situation at Ford and sadly had to cut around 30 per cent of our staff.
"If Ford continues to operate on a single shift I believe we can sustain our staffing levels but any other cuts at the factory could have an impact on us."

Ford to build low capacity car engines in Craiova, South Romania starting late 2010
de A.C. HotNews.ro
Luni, 16 martie 2009, 16:42 English | Business
Ford will start building advanced, low capacity car engines in Craiova, South Romania starting late 2010 and will take production cut measures in Europe to align it with market demand, the company announced. Car production will start this year in Romania with the Transit Connect model.
In Craiova and in Koln, Ford will produce an advanced EcoBoost low capacity engine running on gasoline. Plus, it will start production of a new version of the Ford EcoBoost engine in Valencia, Spain this year. Ford may adapt production at its plants in Romania, Germany and Spain to de unprecedented decline of the European car market and negative economic forecasts, according to the producer, quoted by AFP.
Ford Europe CEO John Fleming declared that Ford is compelled to cut costs and secure its production plans in order to sustain itself as a successful business in the future. He declared that supplementary measures needed to be taken in order to cope with the changing environment.
The first model to be produced by Ford in Romania will be the Transit Connect model, and in 2010 Ford Craiova will start working at a new small class car but did not mention which one. Then, in 2011-2012 Ford will produce in Craiova a medium class commercial vehicle like Transit even though officials avoided to point any models.
Therefore, Ford will invest some 1.2 billion euro for its project in Romania and asked for a 600 million euro loan from the European Investment Bank.

Clu's Light Cycle
Build this 3D replica of Clu's Light Cycle and you'll become the envy of all your closest programs faster than this bike can drive!
Download Clu's Light Cycle here: Clu's Light Cycle
- Print the template on regular paper or cardstock (for this craft we recommend using cardstock) and cut out all of the pieces. Do not cut along the dotted lines – this is where you will fold the paper.
- Take each piece and make all folds away from you, except where indicated. Don't fold the arms until you are ready to attach them to Clu's body.
- Starting with the front wheel, use glue or double-stick tape to secure all tabs to the inside of each side of the wheel. It is best to progress around the wheel starting with the "A" tabs, rather than complete one side at a time. It is very important to line up the edge of each tab with each corresponding dotted line. Repeat this step with the rear wheel.
- Begin construction of the chassis with the "A" Tabs, followed by the B tab. Close the front of the chassis with the "C" tab, followed by the "D" tabs. Begin the back of the chassis by first sticking the "E" tabs to the inside of the top of the structure, then close the chassis with the "F" tabs, and finally, the "G" tab.
- Secure the back wheel to the chassis using each of the four tabs that were folded toward you. The largest of the four tabs will be on top.
- Secure the front wheel to the chassis by first attaching the bottom wheel tab to the bottom front end of the chassis. Secure the three remaining wheel tabs and insert the front end of the chassis inside the front wheel. It may help to place the Light Cycle on a flat surface to see how the chassis naturally rests inside the wheel.
- Place the undercarriage at the bottom of the structure, where the chassis meets the front wheel. Secure the undercarriage to the front wheel, starting with the bottom of the wheel, following the contours of the wheel from bottom to top. Be sure to line the edges of the undercarriage with the dark blue dotted lines on the top and bottom of the wheel.
- Secure the "A" tabs on Clu's back piece to the inside of his legs. Attach Clu's body to the top of the Light Cycle by sticking the "B" tabs to the rear wheel. Insert the tabs on Clu's feet into the slits in the rear wheel and secure the tabs at his side to the chassis.
- Fold each arm in half and glue so the design is two-sided. Attach Clu's arms one at a time, first by sticking the tab to the chassis where it meets Clu's shoulder. Clu's forearm should be bent outward, allowing you to insert the handlebar tabs into the slits in the front wheel.
- Curve the top of the helmet around the small, unlabeled tabs and stick them in place. Close the back of the helmet (Clu's neck) with the "A" and "B" tabs. Attach Clu's helmet to the top of the chassis, between his shoulders.
- Fold the fin in half along the yellow line, and secure it so the design is two-sided. Fold each tail fin downward, and fold each of them so the designs are two-sided. Don't glue the tabs on the edges of the fin, instead fold those outward and use them to glue the fin to the back wheel.

When filmmaker Kyle Patrick Alvarez was 15 he read a short story that changed his life: David Sedaris' autobiographical C.O.G. ( Child of God). Published in the humorist's 1998 collection, Naked, the tale follows Sedaris' time working at an apple farm and the unusual characters he met.
" C.O.G. dealt with two things I find really interesting: religion and sexuality," says Alvarez, who was born in Kendall. "And it dealt with the intersection of these two things in a really funny yet complex way."
So about three years ago, the University of Miami graduate, 30, decided to do the semi-impossible: get the rights to the story, something Sedaris had never allowed. In a gutsy move, Alvarez showed up at one of the author's book signings and handed him a copy of his first movie, 2009's phone-sex romance, Easier with Practice.
Lo and behold, the famed essayist enjoyed the film and gave Alvarez his blessing. Though Sedaris was not involved in the actual production or script, he did show up at the C.O.G. premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.
"Obviously, it was nerve-wracking, but he responded really well," says Alvarez, who lives in L.A. "I admire him so much, and I wanted to put something out there he could stand by."
Alvarez is excited to bring C.O.G. starring Glee's Jonathan Groff, to O Cinema, where it opens Friday.
"Though I moved around a lot as a kid, Miami is the closest thing I have to a hometown. A lot of my formative years were spent there," says Alvarez, who attended St. Philip's Episcopal Church and School in Coral Gables.
He also has another tie: His boyfriend (and production designer) Gary Barbosa is from Homestead. They met at UM.
Fairy tales can come true
Bethenny Frankel's love life may be in the tank, but that doesn't mean she's not a romantic.
The Skinnygirl mogul brought together local sweethearts Kaue Loturco, 26, and Cynthia Carbuccia, 22, who were in the audience of her new talk show, Bethenny. earlier this month.
While in the Big Apple, the Doral Academy high school sweethearts felt inspired, and swapped vows at City Hall after the show. "It was so crazy," recounts Carbuccia, who, along with her Brazilian-born husband, works in the hotel industry. "We were rushing around in all the New York traffic to get the courthouse before it closed."
Carbuccia had won a trip to a taping of the new ABC talk show during a stop on Frankel's "Calling All My Girls" tour over the summer in Miami Beach.
Now she's an even bigger fan of the former Real Housewives of NYC star, who brought the lovebirds back for her show on Tuesday and gave them a Mexican honeymoon.
Frankel's definitely invited to the couple's more formal ceremony, which will likely take place soon in the Keys.
"I would love for her to come," Carbuccia says of the soon-to-be-divorced single mom. "I've followed her career. She is so inspiring and empowers women. She shows you if you work hard, you can accomplish anything."
Event scrapped
The White House postponed the taping of the "Musica Latina" event, citing Monday's shooting at the Washington Navy Yard. The White House said in a statement that the decision was made out of respect for victims and their families. The event, which is produced by PBS and will feature Gloria Estefan, Ricky Martin and others, will be rescheduled. "Unfortunate but understandable," says Estefan's rep.

Your thoughts on two domains
I would like to know what you think of two domains I bought recently.
The first is http://www.elixxr.org which I will be using for a CMS (I know, there're already a thousand out there; but I'm doing it to learn and to share) that will use a variety of web technologies to achieve its goal. The software itself is called Elixxr.
The second domain is http://www.pixlr.me . Pixlr is an alias that I'm going to use, purely because I like it.
So, what do you think?
Jan 7, 2012, 09:31 #2
pixlr (alias name) is really good one and if it a phrase then it gives you more seo benefits..
Please tell me how to ask questions on sitepoint. I am new on it.

pixlr.me one is a good domain. If you market it right and with the right product you are selling, you can potentially turn it into a $xxxx or $xxxxx domain.

I like elixxr.org but not crazy about pixlr.me. They both aren't actual words which is fine but when they are made up words you want them to be easy to say. When I first see elixxr, I know how to pronounce it but when I see pixlr, I'm not exactly sure how it's pronounced. It could be pronounced "pixler" or "pixeler". Might not be a big deal but just the way I think.

These cats are longhair counterparts of the Siamese. The longhair gene was probably introduced to Siamese from Angoras.Description:This is one of several breeds described as Oriental. The four breeds have the same type; they are separated only by variations in color, pattern and hair length. They are beautiful and they know it. The Oriental type is characterized by large ears, a wedge-shaped head, a long neck, a long body and legs, and a long, whippy, pointed tail. To handle these cats is likened to feeling a silk glove over a iron hand. These cats are fine boned and delicate in appearance, long and elegant in every extreme while retaining firm, hard muscles. They should feel as hard as rock, never emaciated or too thin.The wedge shaped head, which ends in a fine muzzle, should fit into a long triangular shape. In profile, a straight line without a dip or rise is seen from the center of the forehead to the tip of the nose and from the tip of the nose to the bottom of the chin. There should not be a whisker pinch; that is, the line from the side of the chin to the base of the ears should be straight with no indentation where the muzzle attaches to the skull. Large, broad-based ears extend and complete the triangular head as a continuation of the wedge and are angled slightly forward.The medium-sized, almond-shaped eyes should be approximately on eye?s width apart, with a slant towards the nose and outer aperture in line with the center of the ear base. This combination of eye shape, size, placement and set gives the eyes a decidedly oriental look. The slender, graceful neck is carried to display length and adds to the elegance of the cat. The long, tubular body is medium in size, with fine or slender boning and hard muscles. The legs are long with the hind legs longer than the forelegs. The feet are oval, small and dainty.The Balinese is a pointed cat with a semi-long coat; the hair on the tail is usually longer than the body hair. The Balinese is a lovely cat and the medium coat allows the eye to see the long lines of this marvelous creature.
Early Balinese cats were reported to the product of Siamese-to-Siamese breeding. They were not a sudden mutation, but a result of pairing of recessive longhair genes. The most likely introductions of the longhair gene into the Siamese gene pool took place in England during the World Wars, when it was necessary for breeders to outcross in order to retain a part of their bloodlines. Turkish Angoras would have been likely candidates for outcrossing, as the type is similar. At first, breeders could do nothing with the longhair kittens. They could not sell or show them; if entered in a show, the cats would be disqualified as Siamese because of their long coat. Balinese were eventually accepted, and were granted championship status in the 1970?s.
Oriental cats are vocal; and not only when they are in season. As loving as these cats are, their calling may not make them popular with the neighbours. Thy will often carry on a running conversation with their owners and their genuine love of people brings an assurance of close companionship.They are active, and their minds seem to be whirling with activity. If they do not have a playmate, they will create one out of anything. Height beckons a flight up or down; they delight in jumping and have been seen to leap four or five feet in any direction with ease. They are not outdoor cats. Most will make no effort to escape into the great unknow.The Balinese requires an occasional combing, but their hair does not mat. They super-intelligent cats make wonderful pets if the owner can put up with the constant demand for companionship. They want to be with you every moment of every day. they will be your friend for life.

SHEPHERDSVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A cross-country tour featuring artifacts from September 11th made a stop in Shepherdsville Wednesday.
Organizers say the traveling memorial is part of a bigger project to build a memorial to honor service men and women lost since the Gulf War to today.
They hope the tour will raise the awareness and money to do that.
"To me, this symbolizes what our country is about," said Douglas Pirolozzi.
Most Americans remember exactly where they were and what they were doing on September 11th, 2001.
"I was at work and I seen the first plane hit -- I thought it was just an accident and when I seen the second one, I thought, oh no, this is a terrorist attack," Pirolozzi recalled.
Not many people can say they were there, but Scott Schrimpe can.
"I slid under a car and that's when the buildings came down," Schrimpe, a retired New York City firefighter told WDRB.
Schrimpe lost six of his men in the attacks.
"The ground was shaking, car alarms were going off. It was like a big rock fight, everything flying past you," Schrimpe said.
Schrimpe is traveling with the American Fallen Warrior Memorial Foundation, sharing his story and many items he recovered from the aftermath.
On display for people to touch and see are is helmet, covered in black soot, pieces of marble from the floor of the World Trade Center, glass from broken windows, a firefighter's microphone and two large cement pieces that were removed from the slurry wall foundation at ground zero.
"It's a tremendous honor for me to be bringing these pieces from New York to their final resting places," he said.
CEO of the foundation Tonya Evans says the purpose of this tour is to raise awareness and money to build a new national memorial.
"We hope to break ground this next year. With this exposure across the country and what we're doing right now, it won't take much," said Evans.
She says it's to honor service men and women lost since the first Gulf War.
"We can't wait 60 years like it took the World War II Memorial to be built. We have to build it now," she told WDRB.
Traveling 7,000 miles, stopping in 16 cities, hoping the artifacts from 9/11 will help remind people of the sacrifices that Americans continue to make.
"It makes my heart ache because of what happened," Douglas Pirolozzi added.
"We're sending our kids to war and they should be honored," Schrimpe said.
The new memorial is set to be built in Kansas City because they want it to be centrally located in the country.

Cumbria Health Scrutiny Committee meeting in Kendal
A Cumbria Health Scrutiny Committee meeting is being held at the county offices in Kendal.
Representatives from the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Trust (UHMBT) said they were trying hard to avoid a repetition of 'the crisis' of staffing, after high levels of sickness, at the special care baby network at the Furness General in Barrow.
At one stage the UHMBT was looking at temporarily moving the unit to Lancaster, but managed to avoid that by receiving help from other organisations.
They now say they want to 'grow their own talent' to improve staffing levels.
