Questions on Milk Kefir Grains
- From Miguel at 1/21/2012 6:34 PM
- I have been using your milk kefir grains for over 4 months now and they are amazing. My question is, I have been made aware you can make a type of cheese from kefir after straining the whey out, is this correct? Now I know of Lebneh type soft cheeses, what I am referring too is a harder cheese kind of like Mexican "queso fresco." Is this possible? Thank you for your time.
- Here is a recipe for Kefir Hard Cheese that you might find useful: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/hard-kefir-cheese-recipe
Lebneh is a "cheese" made from yogurt, not milk kefir from what we understand.

- Why are my kefir grains not growing? I have stored my extras in water in the fridge for up to a couple of months. Can that starve them or is their another reason they would stop growing or reproducing?
- Milk kefir grains need milk to survive. If you have stored them in the refrigerator in water for a long time, they have probably starved... or at least they are dormant and will not grow or reproduce. To encourage grains to grow, see here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/encouraging-milk-kefir-grains-to-mutiply

- Can I use pasteurized, homogenized milk from the grocery store for kefir and yogurt starters? I don't have the option for non-pasteurized milk here. Thanks.
- Yes, you can use pasteurized and homogenized milk to make these products! Do not use ultra-pasteurized or high temperature pasteurized products.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Phil at 12/29/2011 10:11 AM
- Does kefir sometimes just go sour instead of making the kefir? What if you use milk that is going slightly sour?
- The general rule is, if it smells/tastes bad, don't consume it. Always make your kefir with the freshest milk possible. Milk is a great place to grow bacteria, both good and bad. Bad bacteria can damage your grains so start with good, fresh milk.

- I got my kefir grains from a family member. They said to use 1T of grains to 1C of milk. I saw a Q & A above that you can culture a quart with 2t. When I watched your video your kefir looks smooth in texture while mine looks more grainy, even after 12-18hrs. I use 1% milk, could that be the reason? Or am I using too many grains in too little milk? My grains are growing like crazy.
Also, if I culture it for 12 hours am I getting the same probiotics as a 24 hr. culture, just smaller amounts?
One more question...Does water kefir have the same bit of tangy flavor that milk kefir has? My children won't drink the milk kefir plain and I was wondering about the flavor of the water kefir.
Thank you so much for the wonderful information you have here! Blessings!
- 1 teaspoon of grains is usually sufficient to culture 1 cup to 1 quart of milk. If you are getting a grainy quantity, you may have too many grains. You can also stir up the kefir while it is culturing to improve the consistency.
The same probiotics will multiply in the milk regardless of how long it is cultured, but there will be more of them with a longer culturing time, and the milk will become thicker as more coagulation occurs. However, if you culture too long, the lactose will run out and you'll get curds and whey.
Water kefir is a different drink altogether. It tastes sort of like a very bland lemonade, and can be flavored with juices, herbs, fruits, etc., to provide different tastes and flavors. If you bottle it up for a second ferment with some juice, it will taste and act like soda. http://www.culturesforhealth.com/water-kefir

- From Brad at 11/22/2011 2:40 PM
- What are the factors that cause the cultures/grains to multiply and/or increase in size? Mine have not grown at all in 3 months. I make a 1-liter batch at a time and it's good quality, but I'd like to have more grains to make a bigger batch within 24 hours at a time. I've used other cultures in the past that had no problem growing even in the ultra-pasturized (flash pasturized w/high heat) milk they sell here in Brazil.
- Try stirring the milk while it's culturing and please see our article: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/encouraging-milk-kefir-grains-to-mutiply
That is interesting the grains work in Brazil's Ultra Pasteurized milk! They do not fare well in the U.S.'s UP milk.

- From Sarah at 11/18/2011 3:41 PM
- Is it possible to "over-feed" the kefir grains. I think I put too much milk with the amount of grains I had, and it doesn't seem to be doing much. Can I add more grains that I have going in another jar?
- You can use about 1 teaspoon of grains, enough to culture anywhere from a cup to a quart. If there are too many grains for the milk, the kefir can get foamy or yeasty. If there aren't enough, they won't be as active. It's fine to combine sets of grains, or you can use less milk until the grains get stronger. They may multiply, also.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Karen at 11/17/2011 12:46 AM
- If I haven't fed my milk kefir grains for a while, how can I tell if they're still active?
- The best way to tell if kefir grains are active is to note whether they are still making kefir. If they have been out at room temperature without being fed for more than 48 hours it is unlikely they are active. If they have been in milk in the refrigerator, they are usually okay for up to three weeks, but you can really only tell by giving them a trial and seeing what happens.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From jaimie at 11/10/2011 1:06 PM
- I am using raw goat's milk with my grains, but would like to transition to coconut milk. Once they are transitioned and fully thriving, do I need to do anything additional at any point in time? Or will they be fine and live well in the coconut milk?
- Coconut milk can be used repeatedly to make milk kefir, but the grains will need to be cultured periodically with cow or goat milk to revitalize them. More information can be found here:

- Thumbs up Review by Jenifer

The grains started production very nice kefir just a few days after I rehydrated them. The amount of grains was smaller than I had anticipated, but they produce the perfect amount of kefir every 24 hours, so I am very happy with the end result. I highly recommend anyone purchasing the grains to have a plastic strainer like the ones sold on this website to strain the grains with.

I have a tsp of grains and can get 2.5 c every 24hrs. I let it sit on counter 8 hrs ....until morning.
In the morning I add some lemon juice and put it in fridge until next morning! Yummy. ***I usually put in freezer for 30 min before drinking half. I drink the rest before dinner. I don't see an increase in grains yet so will try different milk.
It did take about 7-8 days to activate. Worth the wait!

This is actually the second batch I purchase because my kitchen helper threw out my beautiful grains by accident :( This time I activated about a third of the grains since it's only for two people and they end up making way more kefir than I need.

- no success at all Review by Barb
Price Value Quality
I've wasted a whole bunch of milk trying to get this to work. I go from nothing but milk to clots of disgusting stuff over the course of a couple of hours. I'm an experienced cook and make my own yogurt and beer, I am capable of following instructions, I haven't yet gotten this to work and I'm thinking of dumping my grains down the sink before I waste any more milk and time on this. Maybe I'm not recognizing when it's time to call it done, but clearly the instructions are inadequate. Oh, I supposed I should mention that I have a Ph.D.
Response from CFH: Clumpy kefir is a sign of overcultured, hungry grains. Please contact customer support as soon as possible, as most cultures can be saved with a little troubleshooting.

- Milk Kefir Grains are Super Quality Review by Penny
Value Quality Price
I am so happy with how well the milk kefir grains I purchased from Cultures for Health are producing kefir. This is my first attempt at making kefir, and I'm thrilled with the success. I've had the grains less than a month, and after just two "conditioning" ferments my new grains have been making delicious and healthy kefir every single day. And the grains are increasing in size very nicely! So glad I made the leap into making kefir, and so very pleased with the quality of Cultures for Health grains.

I try to be careful when I strain the grains but it seems my grains become fewer and fewer so that after a few weeks I have just 2 or 3 left. And I feel the price is a little expensive.

Started the grains per instructions with Raw Milk. They were active right after the start period and have worked well for the last month. They are growing slowly and the kefir tastes great--I do a primary for 24 hours and a secondary for an additional 24 hours. I make just under 1 quart a day. Fortunately have 2 raw milk sources within a few miles.

I am a happy customer! The Milk Kefir Grains worked perfectly. The instructions included were so helpful. I had no problems starting my kefir, and it has been going strong for several weeks now. All of my questions were answered well by the online resources here on the Cultures For Health site. This was my first home fermentation project, and I would definitely order another starter from Cultures For Health if I decide to take on another. Thanks for making an awesome product, and maintaining a super helpful website.

- Didn't Work for Me Review by SweetBee
Price Value Quality
Ended up wasting at least a gallon or more of expensive organic milk refreshing the grains every day for almost two weeks before I just gave up and dumped them in the trash.
Such a small amount of grains and they never did smell right, smelled more like bread yeast than kefir.
I had good luck with the dehydrated powder and with the water kefir, don't think I'll waste more money trying these again.
CFH Note: Most kefir issues can be easily resolved with minor modifications to the kefir making process. It is very important that you contact Customer Support for help if you are experiencing problems.

I bought my grains from a local health food store. It took a while and a few trials and errors to get consistent results, but the customer service reps were very helpful. I have been getting consistent results now for several months, and am very pleased with the end product. It's thick (even with skim milk) and pleasantly sour and yogurty. It takes five minutes each morning to give the little kefir-dudes some fresh milk, and they just do their thing. I'll be interested to see what happens in the hot and humid summer months.

- Challenging To Get Great Results Review by Suzanne

I was very challenged using these grains to make milk kefir. I followed the instructions to dehydrate the grains and make kefir. I used low pasteurized/non-homogenized milk. My process with the grains kept changing the milk into curds and whey. I was unable to recognize/see the grains in the finished product. I contacted Customer Support and the representative worked with me for almost a week to resolve these problems. No more curds and whey. Only great tasting milk kefir! Thank you CFH Customer Support.

Hint: don't even dare to rinse your grains in tap water. That's how I killed my first batch. I was dumb and thought I knew better. You don't need to rinse them at all unless you're taking some out to dry and save as a back up. Anyway, this is my second attempt to make kefir. These are fantastic quality grains and I definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to help themselves be healthier.

Blimey. I see Brighton's Earthship eco village development at Falmer has made it into the "soaraway" Sun this morning.
Having built one Earthship at Falmer, the plan is now to build 16 more overlooking Brighton Marina.

I have a new bike, to replace the one that was stolen. A Specialised Rockhopper. It's really nice.
Of course now I'm worried that that it's going to get stolen too.
Did you miss this? I did. Rocketboom on Earthday.
But then I missed this Sheryl Crow news too, until a friend pointed it out.
"I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming," Crow wrote.
"Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating.
"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting."
Uh-huh. OK.
Sigh. If only being green was simple.
Here????'¬??"?s a story. An old and valued customer emailed me recently. She????'¬??"?d read a note on my newsletter in which I recommended people check out the green energy companies Ecotricity and Good Energy ????'¬??€? both of which Nigel????'¬??"?s Eco Store has a good relationship with.
She????'¬??"?d also come across a website called WhichGreen ????'¬??€? tagline Which Energy Suppliers Really Are Green? – whose front page has a rating table of 10 British energy companies. Ecotricity comes top; the shocker is Good Energy comes equal bottom – next to Powergen.
Which doesn????'¬??"?t look good, does it? Understandably, this customer was concerned that I was promoting something which wasn????'¬??"?t as green as it claimed.
There's more to it, of course. What the front page of WhichGreen doesn????'¬??"?t really say is that it is a site run by Ecotricity. In the smaller print, they explain they????'¬??"?ve rated the companies by
the pound per customer expenditure on building new energy capacity
Which yardstick puts Ecotricity firmly at the top of the chart, because ????'¬??€? laudiby ????'¬??€? they invest in new wind farms and other renewable sources.
Ecotricity????'¬??"?s green mission is to increase the supply of renewable energy and they????'¬??"?re using their customer base to help them do that.
But to take this as a chart of "which green energy suppliers are really green" as Which Green claims, is stretching a point a little. But that????'¬??"?s the problem with so many green products. What, exactly, is green?
According to a report on green energy tariffs published by the National Consumer Council, Ecotricity source roughly 25% of their power from renewable sources ????'¬??€? the rest is made up of energy from coal, nuclear and gas. In contrast, Good Energy source 100% of their energy from renewables.
As the NCC report makes clear,
For those customers who want a green electricity supply, pure and simple, [Good Energy] is probably the closest they can get to it.
See? Change the meaning of what you call green and you get the total opposite of WhichGreen's conclusion. To be fair, Ecotricity think the priority is to tip the balance of energy supply towards renewables ????'¬??€? that????'¬??"?s why they????'¬??"?re so keen on investing in new windfarms. But that's the category on which they base their eco beauty contest.
I get this all the time. We????'¬??"?re all judging each other????'¬??"?s green-ness by our own standards, our own set of objectives. The bad thing about this is it makes for a gigantic, off-putting muddle for consumers.
And Ecotricity????'¬??"?s WhichGreen website – which appears at first sight to be a straightforward consumer site – doesn????'¬??"?t really help much.
As the NCC report says, there are too many ways to judge what green really is, and there are plenty of other deals you can get ????'¬??€? including Good Energy????'¬??"?s – which have a much firmer commitment to giving customers renewable-source energy right now. Ecotricity's meaning of "green" – not necessarily everyone's.
As for me, I stand by my endorsement of both companies. They????'¬??"?re both the good guys, and I don????'¬??"?t think we should lose sight of that. We????'¬??"?re aiming to get to the same place ????'¬??€? it????'¬??"?s just about different ways of getting there. It????'¬??"?s up to consumers to decide their priorities are and choose which one they want to light up their lives.

In the tech world, people regularly bandy around the phrase "early adopter". If you're unfamiliar with the phrase, here's a quick definition:
If you're the first person to buy the first ludicrously overpriced piece of electronic equipment, you justify the shocking price to your partner/housemate/mum by calling yourself "an early adopter", thus justifying your monstrous overspend on the latest GPS-enabled wireless-ready blueray-bearing gizmotronic thingy as essential in some Darwinian sense. If I hadn't bought it I'd have perished like the rest of you losers!!!
Instead, I'd like to celebrate those real early adopters – the ones who experimented with green technologies early so the likes of me can then amble behind in their footsteps. In real Darwinian terms, these are the heroes…
I remember meeting a woman who'd set up an organic farm here in Sussex in the early 70s, raising what seemed like several dozen children, and getting by by the skin of her teeth to produce food that there was barely a market for in those days. Or the people who persisted with solar and wind energy in the 60s and 70s who were pilloried as sandal-wearing eccentrics.
What turned my thoughts this way was the topic of eco paint. For reasons which I won't go into now, but will do soon, I am extremely excited to have some walls to paint.
And so I've been taking a look round to find some good eco paint products to slap on the walls. The fact that there is now a substantial range of this stuff on the market is testimony to the early adopters. Taking on the giants of the paint world isn't easy. OK, so their products are environmentally lethal – packed with volatile organic compounds (or VOCs) like benzene, formaldehyde, ammonia, toluene and just about anything else ugly – but look! They come in such pretty shades and they're so easy to apply in just one non-drip coat.
To create a new business based around paint, you're taking on a formidable set of competitors, who hold most of the cards. And you have to spend a lot of time experimenting with brownish goos extracted from plants that don't function very well at all.
But that hasn't put people off. Over the last few years there's an increasing number of small companies who are trying to make environmentally responsible products.
The job – as dear old Eco Worrier pointed out some time ago – is to chose which one. Each eco paint product has its own set of environmental priorities. As happens all too often, suppliers knock each others' products. "They're not really eco-friendly."…."There's no such thing as an organic paint."
Anyway, working my way through the maze (I'll spare you the details) I finally chose IEKO, a company in Forest Row, not too far from here.
Karoly, the owner, opened the shop on his day off for me. I chose biopin white emulsion for the ceiling, biopin mushroom for the walls – and I've already put Osmo hard floor varnish on the floorboards, and it works a treat.
I'm hoping to be able to stock his eco paints soon… I'll keep you posted.
The photo by Somewhat Frank is of a pot of paint by the American eco paint manufacturer Benjamin Moore, who, as it happens, do a range of EcoSpec green paints.
Actually, I hate arguments. However, if, like me, you're totally dumbfounded when you meet someone who flatly denies that global warming is a problem, and regards it all as a giant conspiracy, Grist have a handy catechism of scientific information on the subject: every possible argument you will ever need to defeat a global warming denier. It's here.
A word of warning about the Grist feature. It is long. There are not many jokes.
To be honest, some things are just as effectively communicated in a less verbal manner.
Like this – (click on the Blue Man):

Yesterday, I dropped by my local sandwich shop. I said to the owner, "I see you've gone all eco friendly."
I was looking at his cardboard sandwich packaging. There was a sticker on it saying the pack is fully compostable and biodegradable.
"Yes," he said proudly. "Even the cellophane window is."
He took my money and said, "It's crazy. The Chinese have taxed the export of cardboard, 'cause they're trying to manage their forests. But not the export of plastic. They want us to buy plastic."
I nodded. He held up a paper bag. "If this bag came from Sweden they would get around it by simply planting another tree."
Having found a willing audience, he started to mull out loud on the whole illogicality of it all. "The government announced they're going to tax flights to reduce emissions – then, in Europe, they announce deregulation of transport, which will massively increase emissions." They just don't get it. He sighed. "It's all gone crazy."
And the sandwich was as delicious as the conversation.
To think. Once people used to be content with a simple entry in the Guinness Book of Records. There's a positive stampede of good people who are trying to make a point by setting themselves unlikely attention-grabbing challenges. In recent weeks we've celebrated the following heroes of the modern age: Fairtrade Man who lived for a week on only Fairtrade goods, Carless In LA, the woman who vowed to go carless in Los Angeles, (and make a movie out of it), and No Impact Man , the New Yorker who's trying to reduce his carbon footprint to zero (and make a movie out of it).
Now I give you Stephen Gale, who along witih 40 people aged between 70 and eight months are planning to ride from Melbourne to Sydney later this month on electric bikes to promote them as a sustainable means of transport (and make a movie out of it).
We want to show that electric bicycles might be the way to bring these great benefits to the rest of us – the non athletes, people who get hangovers, and people that just want to get to work.
Former Mazda MX-5 driver Stephen, inspired by watching Al Gore on the telly one night, decided his car-based lifestyle no longer made sense and switched his commute to an electric bike. To demonstrate the practicality of power-assisted biking, he's making the entire journey dressed in a suit. Among those accompanying him are Phil Ceberano – musican brother of the more famous Kate – who is going to do the ride in complete rock god costume.
So that's what I should have done to stop my bike from getting nicked. Taking a tip from Green Knickers, who've pimped their rides so delightfully, Eco-Worrier thinks that plastic roses would have put the ne'er-do-wells off. Clearly she doesn't know Brighton…
Isn't this genius? You thought it was one of those CD-RW containers? No, it's tupaware for the digital age – the only thing to turn up to picnics with, these days. Ideal for bagels and ring doughnuts, obviously.
This top recycling is brought to you by Readymade Blog, the online offshoot of of the print magazine Readymade – "For People Who Like To Make Stuff". And what's especially great about this particular stuff is you don't even have to make it…
OK. Now it's your turn. What to do with wine corks now they're all plastic and you can no longer make tasteful pinboards with them?
The only dent in an otherwise beautiful Easter weekend was someone nicking my bike from outside my flat.
Now, anyone who knows me knows I'm all in favour of recycling, but not that kind.
But even that was unable to dent my mood. Yesterday – on a borrowed bike – I went for a beautiful ride in the Sussex countryside with my friend Marc. I needed a break. I've been working all hours recently.
As well as Spring springing away giddily, exciting changes are afoot at the Eco Store. News very soon.
I was at a local get-together for people involved in ethical businesses the other night and I met Justin Francis there – one of the co-founders of Responsible Travel. He spent an hour telling me how they do business there, which was a) very impressive, and b) really, really useful. The Ecostore is burgeoning, but it's a very competitive world out there.
As for foreign parts, ethical or not, I've taken a pledge to avoid air travel wherever possible. But, like the thorny question of food miles, it's not simple issue. If we cut out ethical tourism, are we wrecking a chance to create sustainable communities in vulnerable parts of the world like Rwanda where tourism is about the only thing that will safe the Virunga National Park? Justin thinks so.
It being Easter, the topic is eggs.
This morning I boiled myself one using the low-energy technique I discovered on The Yellow House's site.
To whit:
Place egg in cold water. Bring pan to the boil. The moment it boils, turn it off. Leave there for four minutes if it's a small egg, five if it's a big 'un.
Frothing with anticipation, I poured my tea into my snazzy Tom Dixon cup, lined up my soldiers, lopped the top off my egg and…
It was perfect. Runny in the middle. Firm on the outside. Never say this blog isn't packed with practical tips.
The Brighton Festival is coming up. One of the highlights of the fringe are the Open Houses, where people turn their houses into open galleries for three weeks in May to sell their art.
Most visitors don't actually go to buy art. They go to check out how they've done their loft conversion, or to take a look at their neighbours' kitchen floors. Of course most exhibitors know this and spend as much time sorucing the houses as hanging the art.
I'm not at all sure how comfortable I'd be with strangers tramping round my flat for three weeks. The Yellow House is a different kind of open house. The Marshalls have created a website exclusively to show how they've turned their 1930s terrace into their dream eco-home.
"Our overall goal was to find ways to reduce the house's consumption of electricity, gas and water by two-thirds compared with its average over the previous four years. In the first year of living in the house we have met that goal with water consumption, and have halved our energy use. We keep working at it and are confident of reaching the overall goal within a further year."
The site's been around a good while now; it doesn't seem to get updated much these days. But what appeals to my nosey instincts is that every room is on show. What it offers is a slightly eccentric wonderland, a regular Beeton's Book of Eco Household Management, offering miscelleaneous tips on all sorts of things, from a low energy technique for boiling an egg, to a sustainable method for raising goldfish.
Things I crave. A foofbag for my iBook.
They're beautiful, produced by the delightfully-named foof herself, and as carbon neutral as you can get too…

Consultant Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Ryan, LLC.
I first started with a phone interview with just basic behavioral questions. After that, they proceeded to explain the benefits of Ryan that moved towards an invitation to an office visit. From the office visit, I met with two principals. The interviews were mostly behavioral but were also geared towards seeing how i would fit in their culture as well as testing to see how certain I felt I was the right fit.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Ryan, LLC.
The interview process was straightforward and fairly easy. 1) HR screen They ask a few questions to check experience, coursework (if you dont have a degree in accounting they will verfiy your college hours. You need a combination of housrs in finance and accounting). Make sure you understand why you want the position or carrer in tax consulting. They will ask. Also do research, especially MyRyan. HR's crown jewel, definitely bring this up in a positive light during the screening. Almost gurantees a second interview, MyRyan is the cornerstone of Ryan's culture. 2) Meet with managers and Principal Really easy interview, more of a discussion. Just be honest and be yourself, they are checking for fit. The job itself is not difficult, they want to make sure you fit the team and understand what the job requires. The meeting witb the Principal is purely for show and really a waste of time. Just dont come across as a complete idiot and you'll be fine. 3) Not sure. I spoke to HR, mentioned I was negotiating an offer with a different company. She asked what the offer looked like, when i told her she said there was no way Ryan would match that. I emailed HR with my intent to accept another offer and havent heard back. All the people I interracted wiTh at Ryan were professional, humble, and friendly. Maybe it varies by team, but I think most would be fortunate to work for a company like this.

I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Ryan, LLC in June 2013.
I was contacted by phone to setup a phone interview and also to fill out a personality test. The test was fairly standard and consisted of several questions where I had to rank 10 random situations in the order of best to worst. It then took about one week until I was called in to interview with a Director and a Senior Consultant. It took another week or two to be contacted again and called in to meet with another Director and a Principal, where the Director used the results of my personality tests to ask me questions. All of the questions they asked were mostly behavioral and since this was for an entry level position I think they mostly want to see if you align well with their standards.
Interview Questions
- I didn't find any questions truly difficult or unexpected, but be prepared to answer questions about the personality test in a positive light. Since no one is perfect I believe they want to see how you respond to picking out your faults. Answer Question

I applied through college or university. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Ryan, LLC.
Initial contact to hire date took nearly 3 months! But the interviews were very comfortable and non-threatening - no trick questions or funny business. My interviews questions were primarily about attitude and experience. If you have the appropriate degree for the position and a positive attitude, you can learn/be taught everything Ryan needs you to do get started.

The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Ryan, LLC (Chicago, IL) in April 2008.
I first met with the company at my college career fair. After two weeks, I was contacted by HR department in Dallas. I had a brief - 30 minute phone interview. Standard questions. I was then brought into the local office a few weeks later and had to interview with 3 different people. Each interview was about 30 minutes long. The interviews were with a Senior Consultant, Manager and the Principal.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ryan, LLC in April 2010.
I had heard of the company through their recruting presence at our campus, just about every career fair they had at least one recruiter there. So naturally when it came time to start applying for jobs applied and got an on-campus interview. It was a one on one interview that consisted of a short personality test and a short ampltitude test that were to be completed the day before the interview. The interview itself was extremley short and very mudane. I can't remember the exact questions but they were very elementary, I don't really understand how they can make cuts with those type of questions. Originally, I thought I did not get an offer because it had been about 2 months since anyone at the firm had contacted me, but just last week I got an email saying that would like for me to do a phone interview so that was werid. I feel like they need to shorten this whole process because if it is this bureaucratic for the interview process, there is not telling what life in the actual firm may be like.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Ryan, LLC in February 2012.
On campus interview very easy going. Several structured questions about past experiences followed by 30 min Q&A. Week later online personality test and IQ test. Filled out a work experience and typical application forms. 2 weeks later called back for friday interview with multiple interviewers. Asked several questions, Q&A sessions, and then lots of fit questions. Mainly seemed like they knew you were qualified and a lot of experience was if you fit in with the company. The following monday got link to fill out references. Then background check with HireRight. Ryan was great throughout the entire process. HireRight background service is terrible. It moves extremely slow and their customer support was terrible. The background check took the longest. I worked for a law firm doing these searches while in college and it took me 2 hrs to do something that took them 9 business days. Again the background check was AWFUL but was not run by Ryan it was outsourced. Overall great experience with Ryan so far.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Ryan, LLC (Phoenix, AZ) in February 2010.
The Hiring and Interview Process is a bit complex and can take several months so please have patience, it's worth the wait. Personality/Skill Test: Ryan uses a customized test to gauge the likelihood of an applicants success within the Firm. No doubt many companies use similar tests. By "customized" I mean that Ryan has collected thousands of these test from employees over the years. With so many on file, Ryan is able to build a model profile of the ideal Ryan employee. The intent is to maximize return on investment by minimizing turn-over and employing individuals who are likely to produce results. Interviews: Typically the interview process involves 3 conversations. First, with recruiter assigned to the geographic location for the position you are applying or the practice area. The recruiter will typically be the one who also gives the official offer when the time comes. Second, an interview with the team that you will be working with. Often over lunch. This gives the whole team a chance to get to know you and see how you fit within their group dynamic. Third, an interview with the Principal/Partner that your team reports to. This may be modified slightly if you are introduced to the Firm as a referral. Please feel free to reach out to Ryan employees. Don't be shy about your interest to work for Ryan. But be patient.
Interview Questions
- The questions were not that difficult or unexpected, there were two that I had to think about for a moment: 1. What position do you think you deserve to start at? Asked during the initial interview with the recruiter. 2. There's a mall we can eat at or a Cheesecake Factory, what would you prefer? Asked during the Team interview. My first inclination was to say the mall recognizing that they were paying and I didn't want to incur a large bill, but I chose the Cheesecake Factory thinking about the importance of client service and professionalism. Answer Question
Reasonable. The salary of the first offer was lower than I could accept given student loans and costs of raising a family. I respectfully asked for an additional amount and received it.

Ate their twice for breakfast was very busy both days during the week. The food was very good and very plentiful. Would recommend it for anyone looking for that hometown café style and service.
The people here are great the services is awesome and the coffee hot.
I had the special today, two eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and to top it off the most amazing french toast cinnamon rolls! Oh, yeah I forgot the Texas famous cinnamon roll. OMG! It was delicious.
This is a busy and popular place. My companion really enjoyed the liver & onions. Two of us ordered the chicken fried steak and both of us were very disappointed. The white gravy was good. Would not order again. The steamed broccoli was limp and tasteless. However, the black eyed peas were very good. The serving portions for the lunch...
Try this restaurant--complete menu--good food and courteous service. homemade cinnamon roll with each meal--
I'm not from Texas. I've only been to the south twice. I'm from Nevada. In Nevada we don't generally see portions of food larger than our dinner tables and we don't order sweet tea. We don't have fun names for food and we don't have a love for grease.

My family and I recently ate at Ginger Brown's for dinner for the first and last time. The food was mediocre, at best, atmosphere a little depressing and cleanliness questionable. Service was pretty good...that was the only highlight. I got the vegetable plate and everything except the mashed potatoes were bland and needed salt/seasoning. The macaroni and cheese might have...
My wife and i stopped there on the way back from an event and had a really good lunch. The only issue we has was that she ordered the Fried Liver and got Chicken Fried Steak instead. Our server seemed a bit distracted, but other than that, the food was delicious, fresh, and hot. The dinner rolls are amazing, especially...
Love the home town friendly atmosphere. The food is home style cooking too. AND with your dinner you get one of the signature, huge, yummy cinnamon rolls, hot out of the oven.
Service was excellent. Food was excellent. Its in a strip mall. Inside looks like grandmas house. They have a collection of cookie jars all over the wall. I had the chicken livers and they were great.

Robert Lepage's [2] acclaimed new production of Wagner [3]'s Der Ring des Nibelungen [4], will air on PBS' "Great Performances at the Met," Sept. 11-14, on PBS.
The third time may be the charm for PBS, which has aired the complete Ring Cycle [5] twice before: In 1983, Patrice Chereau's production of the Ring conducted by Pierre Boulez from the Bayreuth Festival, and in 1990, Live from the Met presented Otto Schenk's Metropolitan Opera production, conducted by James Levine.
The operas — Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, Siegfried, and Götterdämmerung — will be preceded on Monday, Sept. 10, by Susan Froemke [6]'s documentary "Wagner's Dream," which chronicles behind the scenes production.

On March 19, the United States Supreme Court in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2013 WL 1104736, held that the "first sale" doctrine, as codified in the Copyright Act, applies to copyrighted works lawfully manufactured abroad.
This ruling is a setback for U.S. copyright holders whose works are manufactured and purchased abroad and are brought into the United States for resale. This decision eliminates a legal argument used to block the sale of foreign manufactured goods in the United States. The decision arose from a case involving a Thai student attending college in the United States who had relatives purchase lower-priced editions of books manufactured overseas and ship them to him for resale in the United States.
The decision is the latest in a series of legal challenges interpreting the ability of intellectual property owners to prevent the importation and sale of "gray market" or "parallel import" goods into the United States that were manufactured and intended for sale outside the United States.
The decision does not directly affect the opportunities of trademark owners to control the quality of goods bearing their marks. Trademark law preserves an owner's rights to block importation and sale of materially different products in the U.S. intended for sale in markets outside the United States.

What I'm really curious about is, what did MS's market research tell them? Honestly, I want to know, because they've made every conceivable mistake to piss off gamers, and they only seem to be digging themselves into a hole each time they speak.
Their marketing chief, Yusuf Mehdi, explained their thinking in
this article
I think it's fair to say there's a segment of consumers at this show in particular who really pay attention, who are very passionate about all aspects of gaming, and that we listen to closely. In a broader set of community, people don't pay attention to a lot of the details. We've seen it in the research, we've seen it in a lot of the data points.
So it seems like their marketing research told them that the hardcore gamers wouldn't like it but most consumers wouldn't bother to find out about the DRM before buying, so they decided to go for it. They may be right about that, consumers can be pretty stupid. But their mass cancelling of press interviews at E3 indicates that the backlash was larger than they expected and they're struggling to overcome the bad PR.
I think what they'll likely learn, the hard way, is that customers aren't as stupid as they think they are. In a way, what they've done has really made people stand up and notice to what's being done, not just with the XBox, but in DRM in general. So, if there's one good thing to come out of this, it's that. Their tactics don't seem quite sound.

Bloc Party
When Kele Okereke and Russell Lissack put an ad in the NME for a bass player in 2000, the two Brits listed their influences as Sonic Youth, the Pixies, Joy Division, and DJ Shadow. That does a good job of describing Bloc Party's subsequent sound, although it doesn't hurt to toss some Cure, U2, and Gang of Four into the mix. Dancey rock is the new black, and Bloc Party follows in the black-booted footsteps of Franz Ferdinand, the Rapture, and the Killers. This is both a good and bad thing. Good, because damn if Silent Alarm's guitar arpeggios, thumping bass lines, and rich drum fills don't sound as great as anything pouring out of KROQ in 1983 -- it's the sound of post-punk going pop at last. The problem here is the CD's unremarkable lyrics. Hey, if you want to be the Pixies or Joy Division, take a clue from Ian Curtis (love is death, baby) or Frank Black (love is slicing up eyeballs, baby). Maybe on Bloc Party's next LP, the quartet will be weirder or more suicidal, but right now it just sounds nice.

Basically, i'm trying to program a "tweet this" button from inside my application. Depending on their spot in the application, they can click the tweet button and it'll shoot them out to Safari with a tweet message that changes depending on where they are.
In order to create URLs, I have to escape the query string that I want to put in the NSUrl object. So, I do this:
NSString* escapedTweet = [@"Some String With Spaces" stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
After concatenating the base, my url comes out "http://www.twitter.com/home/?status=Some&20String%20With%20Spaces" - looked at it in the debugger and this is definitely the value (as expected). Now, I create my URL and launch safari:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:escapedUrlString]];
But here's where the issue comes up: OpenUrl appears to be escaping my percent signs, so the actual URL that Safari goes to is "http://www.twitter.com/home/?status=Some%2520String%2520With%2520Spaces", which is obviously a problem since twitter creates the status message as "Some%20String%20With%20Spaces".
NSUrl will NOT allow me to create a URL with spaces in it, so i'm completely lost as to how to get my URLs to just include a %20. Has anyone else run into this issue or found a workaround?
I'm running on an iPad with an up to date OS, not sure if it's the same issue on the iPhone.
Edit: In a nutshell, how do I get openUrl to open http://www.twitter.com/home/?status=Some%20Url%20With%20Spaces without escaping my percent signs and creating a URL like http://www.twitter.com/home/?status=Some%2520Url%2520With%2520Spaces?

Ontario byelections: Pollsters got it wrong in two ridings
Voters in two ridings in the Ontario byelections didn't cast their ballots the way pollsters predicted.

The byelection results in London West and Ottawa South caught pollsters by surprise Thursday night.
The polling firm Forum Research was virtually spot on when it came to predicting the results for the Etobicoke-Lakeshore, Windsor-Tecumseh, and Scarborough-Guildwood races.
But they blew it when they said Tory candidate Ali Chahbar was ahead in London West with 36 per cent of the vote, leading New Democrat Peggy Sattler with 31 per cent.
In fact Sattler pulled out a victory, grabbing 41 per cent of the vote to Chahbar's 33 per cent, in a race that featured six candidates.
Lorne Bozinoff, president of Forum chocked up his firm's missed call in this race to the fact the NDP are "experts" at byelections, deft at getting their troops out to vote.
The NDP showed those skills last year when they captured Kitchener-Waterloo in a provincial byelection, a seat that had been in Progressive Conservative hands for 22 years.
At the time Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak complained the victory came because public sector unions "bought" the riding.
But commenting to reporters Friday morning at Queen's Park about the NDP's win in London West, Hudak tempered his remarks about unions, saying "organized labour" is a formidable force.
As for Ottawa South, Forum got it wrong when it predicted Liberal candidate John Fraser, a lieutenant for former Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, was "far behind" at 34 per cent compared to 48 per cent for Tory Matt Young, in a field of nine candidates.
In fact, Fraser won 42 per cent, to Young's 39 per cent.
Bozinoff said it's a "mystery" to him how Forum got the call wrong in Ottawa South, given they conducted their random, voice interactive telephone survey in the riding three times.
He conceded that the Liberals' ground game in Ottawa south was "extensive."
McGuinty had held the seat for nearly 23 years.
Plus, "with byelections the turnout is low, so . . . you're talking to a lot of people who say they'll vote, but don't end up doing so," Bozinoff added.
Overall for the five contests, the turnout was 36.9 per cent of eligible voters, just slightly higher than the 30-35 per cent byelections usually draw.
