Here's Kirill's interview in full
Kirill, welcome to Stunning Men and a big thank you for taking the time to do the interview.
Could we start off with talking a little about yourself and your background? You live in Moscow now; where are you from?
Well, I've travelled a lot across Russia during my life. Originally I was born in Elizovo, Kamchatka Territory. Then I lived in Chelyabinsk, Saint Petersburg and Shchelkovo. And at the moment I live in Zheleznodorozhny, in the Moscow region.
You are new to modelling; how did you get into it?
Yes, I am a newcomer in modelling, but I had some photoshoots before and I really like it. By a fluke my photos were noticed and now I am trying to evolve towards modelling.
What do you enjoy the most about it?
In some ways I consider myself as an actor because I studied acting. The best side of modelling for me is a possibility to shack up many different characters. Modelling is a very creative activity for me.
How do you prepare before a photoshoot?
Before a photoshoot I usually make a set-list for myself, for example I always try to realise what I should portray and what a photographer wants from me. In this way it is much easier to focus on my work.
You have a stunning physique. How do you keep in shape and healthy? Do you do any sport?
Thanks a lot for such pleasant words. When I was a child I used to do some sport - for example, swimming and volleyball. And for the last 4 years I've been interested in bodybuilding. I am a real fan of this sport. I use to have workouts 5 times a week and also I prefer healthy food.
What are your top three favourite exercises and why?
I haven't any favourite exercises because bodybuilding requires training the whole body in order to achieve the best result.
What's the best form of cardio for you?
Jogging. It is the best way for me to warm up my body.
How do you keep motivated?
The best motivation for me is a feeling of euphoria after my goals are being achieved.
How do you fit training and fitness into your life? Is it a difficult thing to achieve?
I always set priorities in my life, and bodybuilding has become not just a hobby for me, it is a part of my life and I truly can't imagine my life without bodybuilding.
You are a good looking guy – what do you think is your best asset?
I think that apart from my physique my personality and its energy is an important asset.
And if you could change one thing about your body, what would that be?
To tell the truth, I would like to change the form of my ears. But some people say that it's my zest...
What do you do in your free time?
I go to university (my specialty is management), work as a personal coach, stage musicals and take singing lessons.
Do you have any role models? People who inspire you?
I admire purposeful people and their single-mindedness really inspires me. Also I like people with a rich inner world.
What do you think is the secret to a good relationship?
As for me, the main point in relationship is trust. But sincerity and generosity are also important
Are you a brief man or a boxer kinda guy?
What do you listen to on your iPod?
My favourite band ever is MUSE. Also I like different movies' soundtracks and musicals.
Your favourite song/piece of music to play while running?
Muse - Starlight, Follow me, Survival and Knights of Cydonia.
What kind of movies do you like?
I can find something special for me in almost all kinds of movies. But mostly I like quality movies.
What can't you live without?
I can't live without an aim or purpose in my life.
You wouldn't know, but I'm very good at ...
Getting on people's nerves! (Kirill laughs) Just kidding!
I am rather good at cooking and singing.
I'm just not very good at ...
Keeping my room clean, but I'm working on it.
What's the best thing ever invented?
I think it is music and cinema. It makes people's life much better and happier.
What three words describe you best?
Big, winsome and sociable.
One last question Kirill, where do you see yourself and what would you like to be doing in 10 years time?
In ten years I will have my own company or some kind of business and a happy family.
Kirill, it has been a real pleasure to interview you! Thank you for your time and for being a good sport. All the best for the future!
Thank you!

Dont Preach Linux. Just Mention it ! October 9, 2008Posted by razasayed in general.
Tags: gnu/linux
Im a big fan of GNU/Linux , but if there is one thing that is a huge turn off for me , is seeing some people preach Linux, as if its a religion . These people bash those who use Windows . They allege Windows users to be "Sheep" and refer to Microsoft as "M$" or "Windoze", which i think more often than not is plain bragging.
But i think this reflects bad on the Linux community , and by forcing people to convert to Linux we might end up intimidating them and hurting their sentiments which might result in them rejecting or even hating it. I think , a person who has been using Windows all the time will switch over to an entirely new OS, not if it is forced upon him, or if he is ridiculed for using the system he uses, but only if he is truly convinced that the new operating system would work for him .
Here is a nice blog post , i came across which highlights this issue : http://dogbuntu.wordpress.com/2008/07/27/dont-preach-linux-just-mention-it/
So, lets invite people to Linux , instead of ridiculing them for using Windows . We dont need religious zealots , to each one his own…..Free as in freedom 😉 .

Approach that work colleague you always thought was kinda cute? And once you do score a date, what should you expect in terms of s-e-x? Dating an older man also means that there's more than a modicum of stability and more than simply a "chance" for future talks and long-term commitment.In fact, it is exactly what make these men so focused in pursuing their significant other that can make them equally as intentional and focused when it comes to planning for and talking about a serious relationship and its future.The entire process is much more drawn out (if you'd like it to be) or it can be much faster — but with online dating, both parties have a say.And if you find yourself living a more hectic schedule, online dating lifts the constraints of having to trek down to a social setting to interact with local singles.Often, younger women tend to be more spontaneous and romantic, which is perfect for the romantic and "old school" older man who knows exactly how to wine, dine and court his lady but also wants to break up the routine and be surprised every now and then.Because young women are definitely way more mature than their male counterparts of their age, yet still youthful enough to question many aspects of their lives, an older man can be foundational in helping to know themselves better, experience love and build a life together that's based on passionate and mutual love.

Twitter today is propelling another superior item for engineers that will give access to the full Twitter file – going the distance back to the primary tweet from Twitter President @Jack (Jack Dorsey) in 2006. Already, this level of access was just accessible to big business Programming interface clients, however it's presently being made accessible to the more extensive designer group.
Until today, non-undertaking clients could just browse the standard ("open") Programming interface that gives access to the most recent 7 days of tweets, or the all the more as of late propelled Premium Programming interface (the Inquiry Tweets Programming interface) that backpedals 30 days.
This new premium Programming interface endpoint, called Full-file Hunt, will offer all tweets from untouched.
Twitter says it works comparatively to the 30-day endpoint in that it offers highlights like the capacity to pull a larger number of tweets per ask for than the standard Programming interface, and backings more perplexing inquiries, higher rate limits, and other propelled highlights.
Clients will likewise access the top notch account dashboard when they agree to accept the Full-chronicle Pursuit Programming interface, so they can screen use, oversee charging and welcome partners to work together.
The expansion of Full-file Hunt could goad the advancement of an entire host of new Twitter applications for organizations, marks, or even customers.
With access to Twitter's history, organizations could figure out how customer slant has changed after some time or what individuals have been saying worldwide in regards to their items and administrations for over 10 years, for instance. Be that as it may, it could likewise take into account new instruments to surface chronicled tweets in a less demanding manner than Twitter's own particular propelled seek highlights do today.
Twitter will enable designers to try different things with the new Programming interface in a free sandbox condition where they can test things out with up to 50 demands for every month. At that point, when they're prepared to focus on paying, different membership bundles are accessible beginning at $99 every month.
The membership valuing depends on demands every month, Twitter says.
The superior Programming interface's dispatch is a piece of a bigger exertion on Twitter's part to redesign its Programming interface stage and vision for its engineer group, declared a year ago.
The organization has had a rough history with engineers, regularly hauling the carpet ideal out from underneath them, executing designers' items in the process as Twitter's own particular business targets changed.
A year ago, Twitter presented a progression of changes concentrated on indeed grasping its designer group. The Programming interface stage it reported takes full favorable position of Twitter's interest in Gnip, the social information supplier Twitter obtained in 2014. The bigger objective has been to make a Programming interface stage that traverses the engineer group – from independent to big business – with ventures up en route.
The Full-document Hunt endpoint is accessible in beta to all designers, beginning today, making it the first occasion when anybody could get to this information outside of the yearly contracts and estimating responsibilities Twitter expects of big business clients.
Existing clients of the Excellent (30-day) Programming interface can instantly experiment with the new Full-chronicle Pursuit free sandbox (it's under "Memberships" in their engineer account). Other intrigued clients can finish the application for get to.
Refresh, 2/1/2018, 5:10 PM ET: Post refreshed with new estimating outlines gave by Twitter. Twitter rep says the first graph they sent to TechCrunch had "a few errors." For reference, the old outline is as yet accessible here.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired All-Star outfielder Corey Dickerson from the Tampa Bay Rays, the teams announced Thursday. Heading to Tampa Bay in the deal are reliever Daniel Hudson and minor league infielder Tristan Gray.
Dickerson, who hit a career-high 27 home runs a year ago, had been designated for assignment on Saturday after the Rays acquired C.J. Cron from the Los Angeles Angels. The move was a jolt to the baseball world, which finally realized how serious Tampa Bay was about cutting payroll. Soon after designating Dickerson, Rays rotation stalwart Jake Odorizzi was shipped to the Minnesota Twins for minor league infielder Jermaine Palacios.
Hudson, a two-time Tommy John patient, has reinvented himself as a late-inning reliever after spending the first four seasons of his career as a starter. The 31-year-old will serve as a bridge to Alex Colome, while the Pirates are expected to pick up at least part of the $5.5 million he's owed in the final season of his contract.
In Tristan Gray, a former unsigned Mets pick in 2o14, the Rays are acquiring a lanky infielder who posted a .269/.329/.486 line in his debut at the short-season level. The Rice Owl was the Pirates' 13th-round selection in last June's draft.
Speaking on MLB Network Thursday, minutes before the trade was announced, Rays VP of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom was confident in saying that Tampa Bay was done dealing prior to the start of the 2018 season. They are expected to enter the year with Chris Archer, Colome, and Kevin Kiermaier on their roster.

This is my Book of Shadows, except I call it The Little Red Book of Doom. It is nothing like the Book of Shadows that you see on the TV, and written about in many Wicca 101 books. It doesn't have fancy boarders, with exotic looking script. Nor is it just spells, workings, rituals or rites. Instead it is full of my writing, well this one is, most of it is somewhat magically themed, but a bunch of it is not.
It contains thoughts, drawings of wall hangings and trance pillows, spelling mistakes, shopping lists, and appointments for job interviews, as well as questions that I wanted to ask during said job interviews. There are doodles, clothing designs, phone numbers, emails and to do lists. It's a little like a diary and not all at the same time. It is a mix of mundane and magical, but then, so is life no?
The Little Red Book of Doom lives in my bag along with a few pens and a mechanical pencil. I carry it with me everywhere I go. I have had similar books for years, sometimes they started off with drawings, doodles really of things I wanted to make, things I was thinking about and other random type stuff. This last year's one has more writing in it as I wanted to become comfortable with the idea that I could actually write.
This cover, of the now Little Red Book of Doom, I picked up in Canada so it is a little difficult to find new lined books that fit inside but I have managed ok.
And it has only been this year that I have realise that all of these books that I have filled over the years with drawings, todo lists, magical thoughts, book reviews, job interviews and shopping lists is actually for me a Book of Shadows. But then sometime I am a little slow on the uptake.
I am sure that some people are able to keep a book of Shadows like you see on the TV and that are written about in the Pagan 101 books, but I am not that person, and I am coming to realise that and in so many ways. So often what I have read in books is vastly different from how I practice, but then it is the same to. It's all a matter of perspective.
So do you have a collection of various diaries, and journal type books that you have used over the years?

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 20 Apr 1995 05:18:16 -0700 From: psg at ix.netcom.com (Paul Gibson) Subject: 5 Liter Death Trap Warning systems are potentially deadly! I had one EXPLODE in hand! Now I'm not talking about some minor pop of escaping gas; I mean EXPLODE! The handle split into three pieces and the CO2 cartridge took off like a rocket. It missed my wife's head by inches, punched a softball sized hole in a tempered glass sliding door, and zoomed out into the back yard another six to seven feet. Of course, the rest of the door shattered and my hand was numb for the next half hour. We were very lucky that it didn't break my hand or slam my wife square between the eyes! With enough energy to break the glass door and still travel six feet out into the yard, it probably would have crushed her skull. Exactly what did happen? I finished a keg on Friday night and took the Party Star out and rinsed it off. I left it on the kitchen counter overnight to dry. Saturday afternoon I grabbed a fresh keg, the Party Star and a new 16gm CO2 cartridge and headed over to a neighbor's house. I put the keg on the dining table, inserted the Party Star and snapped it into place. I then inserted the CO2 cartridge in the handle and screwed it in until it touched the base. I then gave a quick half turn to pierce and seat the cartridge and WHAM, it exploded instantaneously. How did it Explode? I honestly don't know. This was not a brand new system. I had tapped at least a dozen kegs before and this was the first keg of the party. So the unit wasn't an obvious factory defect, it wasn't old enough to be worn in any way, and it wasn't being operated by a bunch of drunks (although that shouldn't matter -- these things ought to be designed to be safe in the hands of the inebriated). My best guess is that either the CO2 cartridge or something else momentarily blocked the vent hole in the handle. This allowed pressure to build and explode the handle. An inspection of the fragments of the handle showed no indication of debris that could have clogged the vent hole, so that's just a guess. What to do now? I really like the Party Star. I don't want to give it up. So I took it back to where I purchased it and asked what they thought. They were understandably concerned. After all, if someone had been hurt, the product liability lawyers would have targeted them and the national distributor primarily -- the manufacturer is in Germany and hard to sue. Unfortunately they had nothing to offer, except to pay for the door and give me my money back on the Party Star or a new handle. We agreed to investigate having a handle made out of aluminum. However the machine shop I contacted told me that the threads are "special" and that they would have to spend $200.00 on tooling before making the first part. That puts the cost out of our reach for the relatively small quantity we could use locally. I suppose I could modify the plastic handle by drilling a few 1/8 inch holes to add additional opportunities for vending the gas. The problem is, if I modify the handle and it explodes again, I will be in a position of having to prove that my modifications did not weaken the handle and cause the explosion. As it currently stands, we have contacted the national distributor and requested that they notify the factory of the potential problems and need for a solution. I will begin using the Party Star again while we wait, but will wear heavy leather work gloves and make sure everyone is out of the room when seating a new cartridge. If you have a Party Star, or plan on getting one, I suggest you give some serious thought to the potential danger and I hope that you ask your local supplier to join in lobbying the distributor and manufacturer for a safer system. If you have had a similar experience, or have any comments that you would like to see reach the national distributor, please EMail me with the details.

Hey fellow Brewers, Help me out on this if you would, it seems that I during my last brew session, I took: 5# of British 2 row 5# of German Pilsner 1# Wheat 1# Vienna Malt 1/2 oz Cara-Pils 3/4 oz Special B and added them all together during the 90 min Mash. After 35min at 125, up the temp to 151 for the balance of 90 min without a true conversion according to the idodine test. I went ahead and sparged anyway, SLOWLY, VERY SLOWLY, and boiled for another 75 min with Malto-dextrin, (Gypsum was added during the strike water=1 tblsp)and 2 oz Fuggles and N.

I noticed in your recipe you used only East Kent Goldings for flavor/aroma. My own experience has been that using Cascades, Willamette and Tettnanger give off lots of hop aroma, but when I use EKG, I notice very little aroma and flavor. I recently posted about my frustration in my attempts to brew a good english pale ale using EKG and I got a couple of private messages sharing the same experience, although there were one or two that forwarded successful recipes.

Date: Thu, 20 Apr 1995 08:12:40 -0600 From: flemingk at usa.net (Kirk R Fleming) Subject: HBD Subscriber Drop Robot rlarsen at squeaky.free.org (Rich Larsen) asks: >Why am I dropped every so often from the subscription list? >I was dropped in January and again last week. Rich, that's just the proper operation of the new HBD filter system recently installed. I'm sure you've been keeping up with the thread re: HBD contributions vs HBD contributors, and the increased interest in who contributes what. Recently, the decision was made to install an HBD robot to track not only an HBD reader's contribution frequency, but also the "S/N ratio" of his/her contributions. Applying recent advances in AI and by developing a rule-based algorithm, points are awarded for high S/N messages. For example, if someone writes in asking "Will my beer be okay?", and someone responds with "Be patient. Taste it.", the responder's S/N is somewhere around 95dB, and said responder is awarded some number of points. Flames, long rants about Jack, etc., are clocked in with very low S/N, and the contributor is actually docked points. Anyway, based on the results of this "quality" algorithm, and based on a simple quantity measure, you accumulate a "Digest Worthiness Rating", or DWR, for the quarter. The quantity-quality numbers are put together so low frequency AND low to med S/N postings cost/earn just a few points. High frequency AND high S/N earn a good deal of points, and high frequency, low S/N *cost* you bigtime. If, at the end of the calendar quarter, your DWR is below a certain minimum, you're dropped from distribution. Notice how you are getting dropped about once a quarter? (As always, you can use beer to negotiate for a higher DWR.) For example, after posting this message, I'll be (further) in the hole than I was. I almost always just ask questions (stupid ones, too), and when I *do* contribute, it's a 10dB'er. I have my SUBSCRIBE request msg ready to go...

What was shown was that in most water samples the concentrations of H+ and OH- ions are orders of magnitude lower than than HCO- ions, and hence the contributions of the former to alkalinity can be neglected. This BTW is why it is the mineral content of water that is important, and not its pH (except for extreme cases). >Also (and perhaps this is later in the book, we'll see as soon as I get >past this mental block), why are we expressing these in terms of CaCO3? >Is it because CaCO3 is the precipitate we wish to create in order to remove >the carbonates and their effects, and this number tells us how much CaCO3 >we need to create in order to do this? The expression of water ions as an equivalent amount of CaCO3 is a convention long used in North American. Germans e.g. use different units.

Date: Thu, 20 Apr 1995 10:47:14 EDT From: uswlsrap at ibmmail.com Subject: NA beers, Burp and Belch Thanks to Jim for Beer Talk with Burp and Belch! We need a little relief like that (in small doses) once every couple full moons or so. Wade Wallinger posts and asks about his NA beer: 1) Admittedly without the benefit of tasting, I wonder whether 1/2 ounce of hops (for bittering), even low alpha and even boiled for only 15 minutes is overhopped (What??!? Was that the word _over_hopped coming from my fingers?) for a 1 gallon batch. I once did a _low_ alcohol beer (1.024 OG) and used a total of an ounce (I think 1/2 ounce Goldings for the full boil and a 1/2 ounce of Saaz as a late addition) in a 5 gallon batch. Sure, the AA% was a bit higher, and it was a full length boil for a higher U%, but that beer was slightly overhopped. Wade's using that 1/2 ounce for one-fifth the volume. 2) This is an off-the-cuff reaction, but it would seem that the only function the yeast served was for carbonation. Essentially, it sounds like it didn't ferment (1.010-->1.009 is quite likely measurement error more than anything else). You said there was no activity in the airlock (not surprising), but what did the _"beer"_ look like? Was there a krausen (probably not), or did you have just hopped, sweet water slowly settling and clearing? Steeping carapils didn't give you any significant fermentable sugars--that corn sugar was the most sugar your yeast had to eat the entire time. Given that you noted a problem with loose sediment, it would seem that the answer might be to skip the yeast and force-carbonate after the "beer" settles and clears. Does that make sense, or am I missing something?

The aroma is fine, indeed, but not strong. If you are looking for aroma, forget about the 30 minute addition and the 15 minute addition. These are not what I would call "late additions". Actually the way I'd brew that beer is to bitter it as you like, then add 1 oz. at 15 minutes for a "flavor" addition, 2 oz. at flame knockoff (0 minutes), and do a quick chill (keep the lid on the kettle during chilling). 1 more oz. dry hopped *in the secondary* should round it out. This won't, IMO, give it *huge* aroma, but should help it out quite a bit. I've heard of people dry hopping with 2 or more ounces of EKG, but I wouldn't try that with many other hops. ** Andy Kligerman mentions that Elk Mountain Ale (I assume you mean the amber ale) was pretty good. I had one and thought it was pretty drinkable, so I tried their Elk Mountain Red. Don't. It is great American swill, and nothing else. Rotgut. I have to go now and brush my tongue.

Date: 20 Apr 95 11:28:06 EDT From: Dean Pulsifer <aic8882 at lexmark.com> Subject: Dry vs. Liquid, Fruity, Water & Extract, Wort Chiller, Aeration In HBD 1706 Todd Miller asks about Extract brewing and Dry vs. Liquid yeast. Yeast in general has a very dramatic affect on flavor. I have switched to liquid yeast only for consistency and improvement of flavor. I have had off flavors that I attributed to dry yeasts. I am a confirmed extract brewer who does partial boils and a wort chiller. I just bottled a batch last night that had liquid yeast and my first use of the wort chiller and it was much cleaner and flavorful than most of my previous batches (mostly dry yeast). Wyeast 1056 (American Ale): I just brewed a batch that was very fruity (see above) which can be typical of ale yeasts, but not particularly to my liking. It was fermenting at 65 - 70 degrees, but it got warm here and fermented at 75 degrees for a couple of days. I believe this contributes to the fruitiness. What ale yeast has the least amount of fruitiness? (I know I need to keep a closer eye on the temperature in the future.) I tasted some imports that were very fruity so I consider this batch a success even though it will not be one of my favorites. Maybe I need to brew steam beers since I am still working on my lagering fridge. My feeling from the discussions on water chemistry imply that the pH is not important for extract brewing and that only things that affect hop bitterness (excess sulphates, etc) are important. Any comments? Let's keep the extract brewing discussions going. As homebrewing becomes more mainstream, the extract brewing ranks will swell more than the all grain ranks. I can hardly find the time/money to do extract brewing between the kids/sports/lawn, etc., but I like good beer. Someone asked about how to build a wort chiller. Buy 25 feet of 3/8" O.D. soft copper tubing. Take a kitchen pot (smaller than brew kettle) and coil it around it. 20 minutes later you have a wort chiller. Get the wort chiller FAQ at FTP.STANFORD.EDU. I made an aeration tube by drilling four holes 1/4" to 3/8" above the end of a splicing tube. I got lots of foam and the yeast took me from 1.040 to 1.008 so I am assuming that I got good aeration. I reread the HBD posts on this and most put the holes farther from the end (1" to 6"). Is the length from the end that important? My data indicates that it isn't, but I've only used it once. If you made it this far, I thank you for reading. And now for some flame retardant. If you can't find a nice way to say something, then don't (it worked for my mother) Someone asked about grain to extract. The answer for this was posted less than a month ago. I believe that it was 1 grain = .9 LME = .7 DME. Dean A. Pulsifer Return to table of contents

I've used lemon grass in a mead before, and it was excellent. I would think it will taste noticably different than bitter orange, but I think you'd end up with something excellent. When I brewed a Wit, I used Lime Peel, at the advice of, uh, someone. It turned out pretty well, but was missing some of that 'traditional' flavor.

Okay, to settle the issue once and for all (open cheek, insert tongue) I'm going to do an experiment next time I bottle. I'll split the batch, and do half with dissolving the gelatin in warm water, and half with boiled gelatin.

Seriously, you can get these in the bulk grains section of any decent health food store, but I doubt you'll find them in a regular supermarket. (A hypermarket, maybe.) Steel cut oats have NOT been gelatinized, and are not flaked, and will appear different than flaked oats. I have been lead to believe that they will make sparging and mashing more difficult than flaked oats, and make require pre-boiling to gelatinize the starches. I would just use regular flaked oats or oatmeal, but maybe someone else knows a reason to use steel cut oats over flakes. Anyone? -R Return to table of contents

What is the consensus from those of you out there >using Gott coolers for 10 gallon batches. What you heard at your local store is pure rubbish, more hideous misinformation being dispensed by those who believe opening a homebrew supply store automatically qualifies them as brewing "experts". *SIGH* Before I got my 3 tier gravity fed system, I used a 10 gallon circular cooler for over 2 years and 50+ batches, with grain bills ranging from 10- 20 pounds of malt. In all that time, I experienced sparging problems exactly *once*. On that occasion, I was brewing a weizen with 60% wheat malt. Seeking greater extraction, I made the mistake of running the wheat malt through a Corona mill twice, ground it way too fine, and ended up with a stuck sparge. The problem had nothing to do with the cooler or the depth of the grain bed. For every other batch I brewed with this setup, the wort ran clear after just 2-3 quarts of recirculation, and I got 32-33 pts/#/gal doing mostly single infusion mashes. I brewed several 10 gallon batches using 16#-20# of grain versus 10# or so for 5 gallon batches. I found the thicker grain bed seemed to actually *help* filtration, the wort cleared with less recirculation and ran somewhat clearer for the duration of the sparge than with the 5 gallon batches. Also, I had to use a hose clamp on the hose carrying wort to the brewpot to *slow down* the runoff rate, the wort would run as fast as I allowed. I realize that it's easy to blame the equipment when things don't go well, but I humbly suggest that those who claim they can't sparge 10 gallon batches in a 10 gallon cylindrical cooler because the grain bed is too thick need to re-examine their sparging procedure. >What about comments on different types of filters, the two I am >aware of are copper pipes with cuts every 1/4 inch, and screens (either >commercial or homemade). Has anyone tried both different types of filters? > Which one was more effective? I built a circular manifold from a 10' length of 3/8" soft copper tubing. I used one of those tubing bender tools that looks like a big spring to form the copper into a tight coil, then drilled 1/16" holes in it every 3/4" or so. The coil laid flat in the bottom of the cooler, with the holes facing down. Minimal recirculation required to clear the runoff, high extraction efficiency and speed of sparging, this simple combination of cylindrical cooler and copper manifold worked *great*.

Date: Thu, 20 Apr 95 08:46:38 CST From: "David Sapsis" <dbsapsis at nature.Berkeley.EDU> Subject: dark grains again/beer talk Norm's recent comments about possible scenarios in which adding dark grains late in the mash raised some intersting points -- ones that I had not thought of in my original post. Yes, I so think small additions of very dark grain can be used for acid adjustment, but this raises the rationale for why not simply do it through the whole mash period, since you will be getting extract from the dark grains no matter, unless the sparge water is highly alkaline, in which case it would need adjustment anyway (either with acid or calcium) ? Is the idea to meter in the dark grains throughout the mash and sparge to accomplish the pH adjustment? If so, I'm wondering how much grain would be neccesarry (obviously depends on native water chemistry). Those of you with accurate pH meters might be able to shed some light here. Secondly, and clearly more logical, is the use of dark grains for coloring only purposes. As Norm mentions, the Graf-Style Vienna described by Fix and Fix does indeed advocate late additions of small amounts of black patent approximately 15 minutes prior to initiating the lauter. I presume that this is is to minimize flavor input into the beer. Norm cites John Palmer's recent efforts (and successes!) using this program. I was fortunate enough to sit on the Best-of-Show panel at the recent World Cup of Beer competition that included John's Vienna. Although it was an excellent beer from what I consider to be a pretty damn challenging style category, there was clearly some dark malt character making its way into the flavor, subtle but distinct in a way that only BP can impart, and I believe it was knocked for this. What I'm getting at, and I think may have been the origin of this thread in the first place: Black Patent malt is dangerous stuff. It is very easy to overuse it, both as a coloring agent (in Viennas, brown ales, etc.) as well as a flavoring agent (porters and such). It has a very concentrated burnt character to it that can make its way into delicate beers (such as a Vienna) as well as completely swamp the flavor of more assertive beers (porters, stouts). Late additions of BP for, maybe even at the end of lauter, may prove benefitial in limiting these harsh intrusions into the finished product. Some controlled experimentation is called for. FWIW, I have found that using a high Lov roast barlet in lieu of BP has worked well for me in darkening brown ales. Although some flavor has come through from the roast, it is much less sharp than from my experiences using BP. It would appear, however, that not all BP is created alike. Note that the only dark grain used in Sierra Nevada stout is Black Patent. Somehow, they are able to produce a full rounded dark character without the excessive burnt astringency that one would expect. It is not quite coffee-like like most roast barley made stouts, but its a far cry from my attempts using only black patent for dark grains. I know that SN gets grains from a variety of sources, but the stuff they were using last fall was Briess. Surprising, to say the least. But no -- the do not add it at the end of the mash -- it goes in right at the start with the pale malt. Any ideas out there? ************** I can't believe it! Jim Larson beat me to it!

Now, the question. Is there a reasonably >accurate relationship between the amount needed of whole grain, liquid malt >extract or dried malt extract to obtain a similar result? I too am an extract brewer so I'm forced to convert recipes often. IMHO, because in general you don't know the original brewer's yield, you shouldn't try to convert lbs of grain to lbs of malt extract (dry or liquid). But all hope is not lost. One sign of a good recipe is that the OG and FG will be included (another good sign is that the %AA of the hops and perhaps even an estimate of IBU's are included :-) So your best bet is to aim for the same OG. Again, it will vary depending on you particular brewing practice but a good rule of thumb is 42 pts/(lb/gal) for DME (5 lbs DME in 5 gal will yield OG = 1.042). The number is slightly lower for LME but I won't make a guess as I exclusively use DME. Anyone out there have a good number? BTW, steeping specialty grains will add a few points to the OG but this is more difficult to predict. A good starting point is maybe 10 pts/(lb/gal) for crystal malt.

For a weakly buffered solution (such as wort) this may take a few seconds. However, you need to take into account the color change caused by the color of your beer. For darker beers this can be a problem. That's the limitation of pH papers. Good luck, Dan Return to table of contents

IMO the 30 min. and 15 min. hop addition won't give you significant hop aroma. I'd suggest a 1-1.5oz addition at 10 min. and a 2oz. addition at 1-2 minutes using *pellets*. I feel pellets give you a more intense hop aroma as the lupulin glands have been bursted during pelletization. I feel if *very* fresh whole hops are used, excellent results can be obtained. I also realize that the pellets vs. whole is a polarizing issue along the lines of immersion vs. CF, plastic vs. glass, and the proper pronunciation of trub :{) Also, if you are using a CF chiller, I feel some of the effects of late hops are lost during the time spent waiting for trub to settle, prior to chilling. I have been able to overcome this by adding hops during the chilling period (my kettle has a strainer to keep hops out of the chiller). Obviously a hop back would also work. "Alan R.

"From the minute I walked into Mr. Ghabour's office I was treated with respect and professionally. The entire staff took my case seriously. I felt that I was more than just dollar signs at this firm. They would call to ask me how I was feeling. Whenever there was a court hearing, they called me far in advance. Whenever I called I asked to speak to my attorney, I was transferred directly to Mr. Ghabour's line. This is very different than those other firms where you get a paralegal or the attorney's voice mail. Throughout the entire process Mr. Ghabour explained what was going on and gave me all my options.
This firm cares for you as much as they care about your case."E. Habbib

Another voice of outrage
Joining a growing chorus of protest, the president of the African nation of Gabon today voiced his extreme displeasure with the imminent firing of University of Oregon president Richard Lariviere. Ali Bongo Ondimba, who met with Lariviere at the White House this past June, said Lariviere's termination could unravel the strategic partnership that the U of O has entered into with his country on "environment and development."
Here is the full text of the Bongo statement, which was hand-delivered by a diplomatic courier to Cylvia Hayes, the governor's girlfriend, at the couple's Portland home:
It deeply saddens me that some people in power in your state continue to drive Oregon into a death spiral with their embrace of mediocrity. Having witnessed many a death spiral of my political opponents, I am keenly aware of the telltale signs. It's yet another application of Oregon's Assisted Suicide law, just as my own troops have been present for many unfortunate suicides here in Gabon.
For the Chancellor and the State Board of Higher Education, a "team player" is someone who falls in line with their acceptance of mediocrity, and the one who strives for excellence does not fit in. In our nation, excellence is commonplace, as is evidenced by the literally dozens of luxury homes owned by my family in Beverly Hills, the French Riviera, and elsewhere around the world.
Let us hope that the Oregon community can take this astonishingly bad decision and recognize that it does not have to define you. You still have the collective capacity to rise up and do great things. For example, having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the Gabon Chambers Of Commerce and Industry, I have the privilege to request your assistance to transfer the sum of $47,500,000.00 (forty seven million, five hundred thousand United States dollars) into your accounts. The above sum resulted from an over-invoiced contract, executed, commissioned and paid for about five years (5) ago by a foreign contractor. This action was however intentional and since then the fund has been in a suspense account at The Central Bank Of Gabon Apex Bank.
We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where you come in. It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we require your assistance. The total sum will be shared as follows: 70% for us, 25% for you and 5% for local and international expenses incidental to the transfer.
The transfer is risk free on both sides. If you find this proposal acceptable, we shall require the following documents:
(a) your banker's name, telephone, account and fax numbers.
(b) your private telephone and fax numbers —for confidentiality and easy communication.
(c) your letter-headed paper stamped and signed.
Alternatively we will furnish you with the text of what to type into your letter-headed paper, along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively what we require of you. The business will take us thirty (30) working days to accomplish.
Please reply urgently.

I remember the moment I first wanted to become a writer. I was sitting in my early-teenage bedroom reading The Amber Spyglass in between stints of homework, GameCube and playing electric guitar badly, when *spoiler alert* star-crossed adolescents Lyra and Will were forced into parallel universes never to see each other again.
Before starting the His Dark Materials trilogy I had bypassed the YA genre completely, instead choosing to graduate straight from children's books to novels aimed at adults. With the benefit of hindsight, I suppose I'd done this in some misguided attempt to appear cool to the opposite sex but, thankfully, Philip Pullman's books were knocking about the house for some reason and one day they just happened to catch my eye.
I was not ready for the heartbreaking ending of The Amber Spyglass. It got to me in a way that nothing I had ever read/watched had done so before. I'd identified with the characters early on and, although I didn't fully appreciate all of the complex themes the books explored at the time, the plot had drawn me in hook, line and sinker. Once I'd read the book's final sentence, I immediately turned over to the cover and thought, Mr Pullman, I want to be able to make people feel how you've made me feel. And in truth, that was depressed into to a mild stupor for days – but in a good way.
From that moment on I started feasting on nothing but YA, only picking up the occasional 'adult novel' once I was into my twenties. I do enjoy reading books aimed at mature audiences but I rarely connect with them like I do with novels following adolescents. After much reflection, I think this must be because some of the trials and tribulations teenagers go through are universal and that means I can still relate to them despite being slightly less Y and a little more A these days.
So, when I finally sat down to write my first novel, Tethers, (sadly my education got in the way of me becoming a writer the instant I finished His Dark Materials) there really wasn't any question over what kind of book it would be. I wanted to write in the genre I loved and, indeed, my protagonist was a teenager named Karl almost from the moment my fingers touched the keyboard.
Tethers - A YA Victorian fantasy, Jack Croxall's debut novel, Tethers follows Karl Scheffer and Esther Emerson as they become embroiled in a treacherous conspiracy.
Jack also has a brand new novel out called 'X' - Fifteen-year-old X thinks she is going to die. Shacked up in the cellar of an old farmhouse, she starts a journal to document her last few days. Much less than a few days if the things outside manage to get in.

Lightening struck twice early in the second half for USC to give the Lady Trojans a 3-1 win over the Oregon Ducks Thursday afternoon at Pape` Field.
The loss kept the Ducks winless in the Pac-12 at 0-2-0 while USC stayed perfect at 2-0-0.
A first half penalty kick left Oregon trailing at midpoint 1-0. Just 42 seconds into the second half Sydney Sladek converted for USC; twenty-nine seconds later so did Morgan Andrews, both on assists by Leah Pruitt.
Sofia Chambers and Taylor Kuroda connected for Oregon's only goal in the 76th minute. The goal was the first of the season for Kuroda.
With an overall record of 6-4-1, the Ducks return to Pape` Field Sunday afternoon at 2:00 pm, hosting the UCLA Bruins.

The Value of Avoiding a Lulu: Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites
This paper develops and estimates a demand model to describe a household's demand for distance from a landfill with hazardous wastes. This model provides one basis for gauging the intensity of a household's desire to avoid living near this type of facility. Using the conceptual framework of a hedonic property value model to provide the basis for demand for distance questions, a survey in suburban Boston elicited this information from 609 households. The demand estimates imply that the average household would realize a consumer surplus between $330 to $495 annually for each mile between its residence and a landfill containing hazardous waste

Many of you WooCommerce neophytes might instinctively go off and secure a 3rd party plug-in to handle your per-product shipping rates. Let me show you how to leverage the existing shipping features WooCommerce already offers and save you a few bucks.
Shipping classes in WooCommerce are great for grouping products of similar type. For example, say you have items that are all the same size, let's call them "Small items". Now, let's take a look at creating a shipping class.
Of course, this is only feasible if you have a small set of inventory items to work with. If you're dealing with thousands, even hundreds of products, this approach may be time consuming.
- Go to WooCommerce -> Settings -> Shipping -> Shipping classes. Here, we will create three new classes.
- Click the Add Shipping Class button beneath the table. A new row appears.
- Enter a Shipping Class Name and description. Slug (unique identifier) can be left blank and auto-generated, or you can enter one.
- Create "Product A", "Product B", and "Product C" classes.
- Save Shipping Classes.
Next Step: Assign values to each shipping method, in your Shipping Zones.
- From the same screen, click on the Shipping Zones link, under the Settings tab.
- The assumption here is that you already have shipping zones created. Shipping zones, allows you to target geographic regions. For example, you'll surely agree that shipping International is more costly than shipping Domestically. Therefore, having shipping methods defined for each zone, with their own parameters, is smart business.
- Hover over any shipping zone name/title, and click on "Manage shipping methods."
- A new modal window will open showing you the Shipping Methods for the zone. Hover over the method title and click Edit.
- You'll now see the three product classes we created, in the Shipping Class Costs section. Give each product class a cost.
- Save your work.
Last Step: Assign your shipping class, to your products.
Since this lesson is about individual shipping rates per product in WooCommerce, each product is going to be assigned to its own unique class.
- Navigate to Products -> All Products
- Quick Edit your product. There is no need to enter into the full product editor. The quick edit is perfect.
- Locate the shipping drop-down, and choose the class associated with that product.
- Click the Update button.
You're going to want to repeat this process, for each product that requires its own, unique shipping cost.

Even beginners have been able to establish successful businesses, and your turn may be coming up. The following information will help you understand how to get started with Internet marketing.
Your internet marketing venture won't work on luck alone; you need to have persistence and dedication too. Big businesses have never stumbled into success. Coca Cola's success isn't pure luck, but rather years of research and work that culminated in a wildly successful soft drink. Not at all. It takes hard work to market a product or a brand.
Your website's tag is the primary indicator for how people see your site, so make sure it accurately defines your purpose. Located atop the web browser's window, these tags play a large role in the initial impression made by your website. Having mismatched titles and information is one of the quickest ways to drive people away from your site.
Most phone companies allow you to use the same dedicated business number across a range of different mobile devices. Make getting a number a priority.
Creating a FAQ section on your website will make running it a more satisfactory venture for you. You can make your customers feel more comfortable and increase sales by answering their questions right away. When your client can easily see the benefit of buying from you, they are more likely to.
Keeping an eye on what your competitors are doing is very beneficial when you have an online business. Check out the websites of your competition to see what ideas can be used to help improve your business. You want to create good competition so find out what other sites aren't doing on their sites and add it to yours.
You can expand your site to include as many products as you would like, as long as you set it up in a user-friendly manner. Retain your site structure along with providing a variety of unique content.
Make sure you know about everything that is on the Internet. Technology is constantly improving so you need to make sure you keep your website up-to-date with the latest innovations.
Try using captions with your images. The search engines scan keywords in the captions to determine whether or not the keywords searched will land the seeker effectively on your page. With solid captions for most images on your site, you will see your rank rise on search results pages.
The database that utilizes customer relationship management software ensures that your Internet marketing strategies are more successful. This type of database keeps track of customers, along with their purchasing histories. Use this information to customize communication with them, and try to sell them products that are complementary to previous purchases.
A really good Affiliate marketing tip is to make your website stand out. With such a large number of websites on the Internet, it is important that your site stand out. One way to begin distinguishing your website from others is to emphasize a service you offer that no one else does.
When marketing your products on the internet, it's imperative that you not copy other ad campaigns. You can potential lose more in the long run because their filters are only improve over time. Unique content is not only required, it will also give your articles more page views which in turn will make you more successful.
Direct marketing should not be overlooked as a complement to the marketing system for your Internet site. Get in touch with customers, via phone or email, to let them know about the specials you are offering. Also, take a look at your yellow pages and phone books to acquire available information.
Try to work phrases such as "limited edition" and "special edition" into ads that you put online. People tend to covet items that are given some sort of uniqueness and this will allow them to purchase your times quickly.
Let customers be able to write ratings on your products and enable them the option to explain why these ratings were chosen. Honest feedback helps you offer better products and other customers have more confidence, because someone else has already tried the products and highlighted the strong points, along with any possible need for improvement.
Actually take time to figure out how good of a product or service you provide. An sub-par product will not succeed no matter how much marketing and advertising is behind it. Your sales will increase if you have a better product.
If you can create an Ezine, it can be a great tool to get subscribers and market your company. Add a personal touch by including photos of yourself, your family or your employees. You can also add short antidotes about interactions with your family or employees. When you use a title that sparks their interest, they will be more likely to click!
Direct a certain percentage of profits to a charity. Everyone who visits your website should plainly see that their purchases will help support the charity, although you don't want to push it in their faces left and right. A small part of your profit will go to the charity and your number of sales will probably increase.
Know what your goal is and always strive to achieve it. Know what you intend to write and where it will be posted. Also, pinpoint the types of directories that you are willing to write for. You must be sure to follow their rules to ensure that your submission will be accepted.
It helps to put user polls on the side of any content that you have on your site to see how users feel about it. Acknowledging and implementing your users' ideas helps to build a relationship with your audience.
If your affiliate marketing plan includes analytics, you should already be familiar with your top-performing products. These should be your mainstays in drawing future sales. Identify the best accessories and products that compliment your hot sellers, and advertise them concurrently. These will gain a boost from the items that sell the best, and won't require you to advertise as much as you do for unrelated products.
Brainstorm some type of freebie you can offer up to customers on your website. Users will come to your site just to get your free offer and if your site is appealing, they may want to use your service. For instance, if you have a financial page, put up a tax return calculator for free use.
You could add some user polls alongside your specific content to get readers' views and feedback. Not only will this help you adjust the type of content that you include, it will also make your users feel like you care about their opinions.
As you may already know, people usually hold a lot of respect for those in authority. Don't be afraid to let it be known that you are indeed the head honcho. Use the term CEO or president for yourself.
Sending emails is a great way to stay in touch with your customers, but make sure you send out varied content. By keeping the links in the same spots, your customers will start to ignore them. Your email readers will be less likely to lose interest if you keep changing up the links in your emails.
Customers love games and prizes, and it can pay to use them on your site. One thing you could do is hide words in an article, and let potential customers search for them. When they do, offer them a free prize or discount. When customers are involved in the site, they are more likely to feel comfortable making a purchase from you.
Make your banner ads look unlike what a typical banner ad looks like. The more appealing and original your banner ad appears, the more people you'll have clicking on it.
Consider using words like "easy" and "simple" as a part of your Internet marketing strategy. Simplicity will always win out over complexity. So, cater to the basic human desire for easy over hard by using phrases that show just how easy it is to use your product or service. That is a simple way to boost business.
When you are website marketing make sure you offer a refund policy. This will bring credibility to your product and will make your customers feel more secure in their purchases. When you give reassurance to your customers, they will be that much more likely to give you business.
Power up your internet marketing! Make certain that the objective of your landing page is easily determined. You should sell your niche on this page. Your viewer should immediately be able to tell that you are marketing that product and what it does. If your customers have to invest time and effort in order to find what they are looking for, you are hurting your potential for success.
Everyone on your mailing list should receive personal correspondence from you. This helps to create a dialogue that is focused primarily on their interests. You're probably sick of it yourself. A well-crafted and personalized message will be far more effective and really put you head and shoulders above your competitors.
Solicit referrals from your customers by offering incentives. When customers refer others to your site, you can easily multiply the number of visitors your site receives. People love getting stuff for free and the more traffic you get the higher your sales will be.
Try different ways to award prizes. One creative example is creating a scavenger hunt that requires prospective buyers to locate certain words within a given body of text. Be sure to offer them free prizes or discounts when they do. If your customers feel they are a part of your site, they will trust you more.
If you want to be a winner with Internet marketing, a great website is essential. Make sure you test the site often to fix bad links or bugs. If the people visiting your site cannot find their way through your site, they are not going to make any purchases.
Make sure that you personally deal with all customer complaints.
