Types of Coffee
Coffee-Brewing-Methods.com aims to help visitors understand the various methods of preparing coffee, to guide them choose the right brewing equipment, and to make sound decisions about their morning cup of joe.
You are in the pursuit for the perfect cup of coffee, you probably tried some alternative brewing systems, but none of them are quite what you were looking for, or maybe you just want to experiment. This is the best place to start your journey to discover the various coffee brewing methods. I know, we sound a bit over-confident, but why don't you just try us and drop us a line if you didn't like our work.
A Bit of Coffee History
According to the legend, an Arabian shepherd from the actual Ethiopia found his goats jumping from one bush to another, grazing on the bright red cherries. He wondered if the red cherries were the source of this unusual energy experienced by his goats, and he tried them too. The precious fruit and seed were further studied by the monks at the local monastery, who started to use them to cope with the long hours during prayer. Then, they sent them to other monasteries around the world, and coffee was popularized.
The legend is beautiful, and it makes us wonder how did they brew their coffee at the time? They surely didn't have a drip coffee machine, and they didn't have espresso machines then. They relied on infusing the finely ground coffee beans, in a way that is now known as Turkish brewing. The beans were pounded into a fine powder then infused in hot water.
The technology evolved since then, and automatic coffee machines are the norm. Even though coffee machines are available at decent prices, some still prefer the time consuming method of brewing in an ibrik, and grinding with a manual coffee mill. I still enjoy from time to time a Turkish, but my favorite brew is espresso. I also experiment a lot with cold brew.
Coffee Brewing Methods
This page is just a brief introduction to the various brewing methods and a starting point to guide you through our coffee brewer reviews. We have espresso machine reviews, drip coffee machine reviews, and we also assessed some of the best coffee grinders. We just want to make your job of buying the gear easier.
We want you to be confident in your choices, but at the same time provide you with the knowledge to make informed decisions. Here are a few general tips to help you in a snobby world.
For starter don't let "coffee-heads" to dictate what you drink, not even us. Your daily joe is a unique personal experience, and it doesn't have anything to do with what other people, or cultures drink. That being said, we might have some strong opinions about coffee, and this might transpire across our blog.
Don't skimp on coffee beans, no matter the brewing technique, if you buy cheap coffee beans, or if you don't store them properly, you'll get a bad cup.
Try as many coffee preparing techniques as you need, don't stop at the first one. Experiment with a brewing method and tweak it for yourself. For a comprehensive article check our page about the best brewing methods, and for a short description read on.
Espresso is prepared by pushing hot water through a layer of compacted ground coffee, contained in a port-filter. Espresso is a very concentrated coffee, with a lot of body, aroma, and flavor. It contains a lot of coffee oils and solids. The most distinctive features of espresso are the foamy layer on top, and the low volume of the drink. Pulling a shot of espresso requires training and knowledge, take a look at our espresso brewing guide, for a comprehensive tutorial.
Turkish Coffee
Turkish coffee is a method of infusing finely ground coffee in nearly boiling water. What is very specific to Turkish brewing method is the grind size which is the finest possible, almost a powder. There are no electrical Turkish coffee grinding machines for the residential use, but the manual mills work perfectly. Turkish coffee has the fullest body of all brewing methods. If you like clear coffee, stay away from it.
Drip Coffee
Drip coffee or filter coffee is the most popular preparing method in North America. The method involves pouring hot water over ground coffee beans. The brew is strained with a paper filter, or a metal or plastic mesh. The coffee from a drip brewer is clear and clean, with a high ratio of caffeine extracted per spoon of ground coffee. The brew is good, if you use a good coffee machine, but it's only average with cheap equipment. Pour-over devices can compete with high end coffee makers such as Technivorm or Bonavita, in terms of taste and aroma. However, manual drippers, as they are also called, are less convenient than electrical drip brewers. learn how to brew drip coffee here.
French Press
French press, or press pot, is a very simple coffee brewing device with a beaker and a plunger/filter. The preparing technique consists in pouring hot water over coffee grinds and let it steep for a few minutes. After the steeping is over the plunger/ filter is pressed down, to separate the grinds. French press coffee has a medium body, less than espresso but more dense than drip. The aroma and flavor of a press pot coffee are intense, and the method it is gaining more and more popularity. Check our guide to brew with a French press for a detailed tutorial. You can also check our product comparison stainless steel press pot comparison here. This brewing method is re-gaining the once lost popularity because it's inexpensive, and simple.
Moka Pot
Moka pot is a device for making coffee that uses steam pressure to push water through coffee grinds similar to espresso method, but with much lower pressure. The pressure in a Moka pot is about 1 bar compared to a real espresso machine with 9 bar. The coffee made in a Moka pot, as you would expect, is very bold, it resembles espresso. Stove top espresso as it is also called lacks the crema and it has much less aromatic oils. It is a decent espresso alternative. You can take a look at our Moka pot brewing tutorial, if you need some guidance. It's a great resource.
Cold Brew
Cold brew is the favorite way of preparing coffee for people with stomach problems. If regular, hot, coffee brews upset your stomach, cold brew is definitely your choice. The brewing method implies steeping coffee grinds for extended periods of time, (12 to 36 hours), then straining it and serving it cold or hot. Because it takes so long to brew, people prepare large batches and store it in the fridge for several days. Check this page for a few cold brew coffee makers.
Single Serve Brewing
There is no consensus about single serve coffee machines being a distinctive brewing method. However, if you think about Keurig brewers, they use pressure to push water through the coffee grounds, but the pressure is not as high as with espresso machines. The coffee is ground coarser than for Moka pot, and it is less compact, hence a faster brewing time. In the end, a Keurig machine brews coffee in a unique way, like no other coffee maker. Single serve provide you a clean cup, with decent aroma and flavor, and minimum effort. It is one of the most convenient devices, reducing the operator's manual intervention to zero.
AeroPress Brewer is a manual coffee making device that allows you to use pressure to brew a cup. The method involves a two steps process, with a few minutes steeping followed by pushing the brew through the coffee grounds under pressure to extract even more solids and caffeine. Aeropress coffee is strong with body, and resembles a lot with espresso.
The method is most known for its versatility. You can brew from the mildest cup of hot brewed coffee to a strong cup with bite. We wrote an AeroPress brewing tutorial, and it is filled with tips and tricks, if you want to learn more about it.

Washington Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather could be suspended for his head-hunting hit Sunday against the Chicago Bears, according to Jason La Confora.
Meriweather hit wide receivers Alshon Jeffery Cheap Jerseys Sites and Brandon Marshall in the head, being flagged twice in the 45-41 Washington victory. The former New England Patriots draft pick has been fined multiple times before for illegal hits, including a $42,000 fine last month for his hit on Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy.
More: Extensive Redskins coverage at Hogs Haven
Marshall, a former teammate of Meriweather when both played for the Bears, has seen enough of the safety and had some harsh words for him after the game, per NFL.com:
Meanwhile, Steven Schweickert at Bears blog Windy City Gridiron is still trying to figure out what to make of the proceedings. Sure the Bears lost, but they also lost their starting quarterback in the first half, not to mention Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman going down on top of an absent Henry Melton. All things considered, maybe the four-point loss wasn't so bad …
… let me try to summarize what just happened yesterday: The Bears struggled offensively and defensively and let the Redskins run roughshod all over them in the first half, they lost their starting quarterback and put in Josh McCown, then in the second half briefly lost Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery, as well as Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman, flubbed up a surprise onside kick, and still fought back in a shootout to eventually take a lead before losing in the last minute. It was either one Cheap Jerseys Paypal of the best games I've seen or the worst best game I've ever seen. And as of 5:40 AM on Monday morning, I still have no freaking idea what I just watched yesterday.

NEW YORK — Boeing's newest version of its bestselling airliner has crashed twice in less than six months, delivering a massive blow to the company's reputation.
Critics have questioned Boeing's decision not to voluntarily ground its planes as country after country pulled them from the sky.
Boeing's finances will take a hit as it faces lawsuits from victims' families and compensation claims from airlines. It also faces delayed revenue from missed airplane deliveries and the expense of fixing its planes.
But the airline industry has a long history of recovering from tragedy. And experts say the disasters are unlikely to have a lasting impact on Boeing's brand or finances.

Yes, it is like buying yourself more airtime for your cellphone back in the day. Anyhow, I'm not afraid of hard work and I'm quite used to it by now. After at least five years of experience working for myself, I have learned to sustain myself well. The nature of the entrepreneurial environment is that it continues to change every few months and indeed it's changing every single year. And correspondingly, your business will fluctuate.
It's positive. You are never in a position to allow your business to stay static, never moving up and certainly never falling behind its rivals. The classic motto is to adapt. Or die. Needless to say, like myself, you will all learn to adapt, and quickly too. By now, new marketing strategies point in the direction of social media. This is about the best and most effective platform to put yourself out there.
Large companies like YouTube, Instagram and Facebook are really doing you a huge favor. Because the marketing segment of your startup costs are really quite minimal. And that's a good thing, given that many of you, just like me back then, are starting from scratch. And the online marketing tools at your disposal are, let's just say, virtually unlimited. The world is your oyster.
You can go shopping. You pick and choose marketing tools which suit your unique purpose best. And do make sure that you've spent more than enough time researching the online platforms at your disposal. You begin your entrepreneurial journey on one platform. And as your business gradually takes shape, you branch out onto at least – hmm, I do not wish to get too excited at this point, but I would say, stick with no more than two platforms for now.
More than that, you may not be able to manage. It suits my purposes just fine to have Instagram and Facebook. I've had a reasonable amount of success on Facebook, given that this is where I began my social media life, but to be quite frank with you, I stumbled and stuttered for a bit after I registered my profile on Instagram and sent out my first post. As always, the R & D paid off. What went wrong? What was I doing wrong?
And what did I need to do next to fix the proverbial problem. My problem was truly limited exposure. I finally overcame this limitation and in a matter of hours. What I did was go on an IG likes buy campaign. I also compared and contrasted (measuring my really modest showing on IG against my more than satisfactory popularity on FB). And I linked. I linked my IG account to FB. So, automatically, 500 FB followers would be converted to 500 Instagram followers. Instantly. I like that phraseology. It seems so appropriate at this time.
I wanted to say so much more but I'm afraid my time is up with you. Good luck with your new business development.

By William Fisher
Lawyers for the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama told a federal judge yesterday that the government has authority to kill American citizens whom the executive branch has unilaterally determined pose a threat to national security.
That claim came in federal court in Washington, D.C., in response to a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR). The two human rights legal advocacy organizations contend that the administration's so-called "targeted killing authority" violates the Constitution and international law.
CCR attorney Pardiss Kebriae told IPS, "The full contours of the government's position would allow the executive unreviewable authority to target and kill any US citizen it deems a suspect of terrorism anywhere. As the government would have it, while non-citizens detained at Guantanamo Bay can challenge the deprivation of their liberty by the United States, a US citizen could not challenge an impending deprivation of his life by his own government."
"The Supreme Court has repeatedly rejected the government's claim to an unchecked system of global detention, and the district court should similarly reject the administration's claim here to an unchecked system of global targeted killing," she said.
The ACLU and the CCR were retained by Nasser Al-Aulaqi to bring a lawsuit in connection with the government's decision to authorize the targeted killing of his son, Anwar Al-Aulaqi. The lawsuit asks the court to rule that, "outside the context of armed conflict, the government can carry out the targeted killing of an American citizen only as a last resort to address an imminent threat to life or physical safety."
Anwar Al-Aulaqi, who was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and has dual U.S. and Yemeni citizenship, is a firebrand extremist Imam, who has been accused by government officials and in the press of using his sermons and the Internet to recruit jihadists. He is thought to be in hiding in Yemen.
The lawsuit also asks the court to "order the government to disclose the legal standard it uses to place U.S. citizens on government kill lists."
"If the Constitution means anything, it surely means that the president does not have unreviewable authority to summarily execute any American whom he concludes is an enemy of the state," said Jameel Jaffer, Deputy Legal Director of the ACLU, who presented arguments in the case. "It's the government's responsibility to protect the nation from terrorist attacks, but the courts have a crucial role to play in ensuring that counterterrorism policies are consistent with the Constitution."
The government filed a brief in the case in September, claiming that the executive's targeted killing authority is a "political question" that should not be subject to judicial review. The government also asserted the "state secrets" privilege, contending that the case should be dismissed to avoid the disclosure of sensitive information.
On August 30, 2010, the CCR and the ACLU filed suit on behalf of Dr. Nasser Al-Aulaqi against President Obama, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Leon Panetta, and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, challenging their decision to authorize the targeted killing of his son, in violation of the Constitution and international law.
Plaintiff's lawyers argue that, while the government "can legitimately use lethal force against civilians in certain circumstances outside of a judicial process, the authority contemplated by senior Obama administration officials is far broader than what the Constitution and international law allow."
Under international human rights law, they explain, "lethal force may be used in peacetime only when there is an imminent threat of deadly attack and when lethal force is a last resort. A program in which names are added to a list though a secret bureaucratic process and remain there for months at a time plainly goes beyond the use of lethal force as a last resort to address imminent threats, and accordingly goes beyond what the Constitution and international law permit."
They add: "Moreover, targeting individuals for killing who are suspected of crimes but have not been convicted – without oversight, due process or disclosed standards for being placed on the kill list – also poses the risk that the government will erroneously target the wrong people. Since 9/11, the U.S. government has detained thousands men as terrorists, only for courts or the government itself to discover later that the evidence was wrong or unreliable and release them."
The DOJ declined to comment on the case.
This case is one of two related lawsuits brought by the ACLU and the CCR.
The second is against the U.S. Treasury Department (DOT) and its Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) challenging the legality and constitutionality of the scheme that requires them to obtain a license in order to file a lawsuit concerning the government's asserted authority to carry out targeted killings of individuals, including U.S. citizens, far from any battlefield.
On July 16, 2010, however, the Secretary of the Treasury labeled Anwar al-Aulaqi a "specially designated global terrorist," which makes it a crime for lawyers to provide representation for his benefit without first seeking a license from OFAC.
The CCR and the ACLU sought a license, but after the government's failure to grant one despite the urgency created by an outstanding authorization for Al-Aulaqi's death, the two groups brought suit challenging the legality and constitutionality of the licensing scheme as applied to the representation they seek to provide. CCR and the ACLU have not had contact with Anwar Al-Aulaqi.
The OFAC requirements generally make it illegal to provide any service, including legal representation, to or for the benefit of an individual designated as a terrorist. A lawyer who provides legal representation for the benefit of such a person without getting special permission is subject to criminal and civil penalties.
In their lawsuit, CCR and the ACLU charge that OFAC has exceeded its authority by subjecting uncompensated legal services to a licensing requirement, and that OFAC's regulations violate the First Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, and the principle of separation of powers. The lawsuit asks the court to invalidate the regulations and to make clear that lawyers can provide representation for the benefit of designated individuals without first seeking the government's consent.
The OFAC case is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Combat Edit
Leer: As a Swift action, Houndour can make a Demoralise attempt.
Beat-Up (Ex): Houndour is good at encouraging the group-sport of "Everyone nail the bastard". Any time an adjacent enemy is struck, Houndour may make an attack against that enemy as an Immediate action. Additionally, as a full round action, Houndour may make a single attack against an adjacent foe, and also allow every other creature that can reach the foe to make an attack against it (as an Immediate action), if they so wish. Pokémon will even leap out of Pokéballs (then straight back in) to make this attack if the Pokéballs happen to be in reach.
Ember (Su): Houndours have a very minor breath weapon; they can breathe fire. A Houndour's ember attack strikes in a 10 ft. line and deals d6 + HD + Cha mod in fire damage. Creatures in the area may halve the damage on a successful reflex save DC 10 + Houndour's Charisma modifier + ½ Houndour's Hit Dice. Houndour may not use Ember for 1d4+1 rounds after having used it. The Sample Houndour's Ember attack inflicts 1d6+6 fire damage with a save DC of 14.
Spell-like Abilities (Sp): At will: scare, fog cloud; 1/hour: stinking cloud, fire shield. Caster level equals hit dice, and the Save DCs is 10 + Spell Level + Houndour's Charisma modifier.
- The sample Houndour has a caster level of 4 and save DC of 12 + spell level.
Nasty Plot (Ex): Houndour can spend a full-round action plotting. This causes it to discover evil tricks and tactics, granting it a +4 Enhancement bonus to Intelligence and Charisma for three rounds. Additionally, during those three rounds, its Bite attack gains the benefits of "Trip" (Trip bonus +2) and +2d6 Sneak Attack damage.
Egg Move: Houndour is born with one of the following moves:
- Punishment (Su): Houndour totally ignores any magical or supernatural defences such as magic Armor/Shield/Natural/Deflection bonuses to AC, Concealment, DR or the like. Additionally, Houndour's natural attacks deal bonus damage to anyone using magic items or benefiting from magical or supernatural effects in any way, shape or form. Each individual item, spell or effect causes an additional 1d4 (for effects with a CL less than 6), 1d6 (for all magic items, and for effects without caster levels), 1d8 (for effects with a CL of 6-10), 2d6 (for effects with a CL of 11-15) or 3d6 (for effects with a CL of 16 or more) damage to be delivered.
- Fire Spin: Ember clings to targets, dealing half damage for 3 rounds.
- Will O Wisp (Sp): Dancing lights at will, faerie fire 1/3 rounds.

It is time to step up in terms of rare, here´s probably one of the rarest swedish jazz records,pressed in very limited edition and distributed by Mr.Hessle himself.
What is most fascinating by this is the sound, it was made and recorded as a studio lp and the sound is as good as on any other Jazz lp, this LP include the brilliant tune "novotek" wich was recorded at the swedish radio, 20 minutes of Coltranish jazz wich makes any jazz player envious.
Since this incredible music is not available to everyone at least you can get this tune "novotek" by buying the recent reissue of Gilbert Holmström LP utan misstankar on cd here: www.moserobie.com
Very nice and exclusive reissue with improved sound of the magnificent Holmström LP wich include novotek as a bonus track.
However the whole Hessle LP should be reissued and earn its recognition as one of Sweden´s finest LP´s of all time.

There's a turkey to brine, bathrooms to clean, tables to set and lists to check. Thoughts like these consume us each November.
But have we lost the most important part of the Thanksgiving holiday? How sad it is that these get most of our attention. It's understandable that planning for the day's celebration is necessary, but please remember there's so much to be thankful for.
Be thankful for family—we may argue, but it's a far cry from sitting alone in a quiet room alone. (Romans 12:10)
Be thankful for health—each day is a gift, even if we received a bad report or have more aches and pains than possible to count. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Be thankful for friends—they help carry burdens when we're all but overtaken by weariness. (1 Thessalonians 3:9)
Be thankful for good fortune—if you sleep inside at night, remember there are many who do not. (Ephesians 5:20)
Be thankful for our Heavenly Father—even if you're not on speaking terms, it's wasn't him who walked away. (Revelation 3:20)
Be thankful for His great love for you. We have so much to be thankful for even beyond the examples offered above. We have the opportunity to see eternity. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 (ESV)
Happy Thanksgiving, dear friend. I am thankful for you.

One of the things I have become accustomed to in being a Ravens fan over the years is that they pick very low in the first round. Being the defending Super Bowl champions this year, they had the 32nd pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, so Ravens Nation wasn't going to be expecting one of the sexy names to still be on the board at that point.
No matter, because Ozzie Newsome couldn't care less. Newsome's drafting has become like clockwork, and his philosophy never wavers. Draft for best available talent, not for need. This year, I believe the Ravens satisfied their appetite for both in an offseason in which they lost a bevvy of impact starters. Here is a look at the key players Newsome tabbed to fill some of those voids:
Round 1 (32), Matt Elam, FS, Florida
This is what I meant with drafting for both talent and need. He is not going to be asked to fill Ed Reed's shoes, now or even in the future. What he will be counted on for is his big-play ability and his ability to hit, which the Ravens also will be missing in the departure of their strong safety, Bernard Pollard. He is a tad bit undersized, but the Ravens have a knack for working around any perceived shortcomings from their defensive players.
Round 2 (56), Arthur Brown, ILB, Kansas St.
Another talent and need acquisition, Brown also won't be asked to fill the shoes of a legend, but comes highly touted. He's versatile enough to potentially play either inside or outside, and is strong in pass coverage. He is also a great tackler, and could earn a starting job out of training camp. I like that the Ravens went defense with their first two picks. It seemed like an obvious choice, but Newsome often defies conventional wisdom, so good to see them address an area that took such a big hit in free agency.
Round 3 (94), Brandon Williams, DT, Missouri Southern St.
Keeping on the defensive theme, the Ravens got themselves a three-time All-American in Williams. He will be part of a rotation with the aging Haloti Ngata and Terrence Cody and brings to Baltimore great agility and the ability to swim past blockers into the backfield. With Williams, the Ravens essentially addressed the three levels of the defense in fine fashion with their first three picks.
Round 4 (129), John Simon, DE, Ohio State
Simon is a hard worker with a great motor who is something of an overachiever. He provides depth, but it will be interesting to see how he fits into the defensive line rotation.
Round 4 (130), Kyle Juszczyk, FB, Harvard
Juszczyk could be an H-back or fullback and has good strength. His Pro Day numbers were solid, and he could make an impact on special teams or spelling Vonta Leach.
Other notables: Kapron Lewis-Moore, DE, Notre Dame – He was injured in a bowl game against Alabama but projects as a solid all-around defensive lineman; Aaron Mellette, WR, Elon – Mellette's production was phenomenal, as he had three seasons of 1,000+ receiving yards and 12+ touchdowns. He's got reliable hands and can win jump balls in traffic.

Below is a conversation I had with D last night, via text, because he is a big pussy and won't talk to me on the phone. I was going to post this whole schpeal and everything leading up to the conversation, but honestly, it's pretty self-explanatory. Enjoy.
8:13 D—How'd class go?
8:14 ME **calling D**
8:14 ME—You never answer!
9:26 D—I passed out.
9:51 D—Guess you did as well. Sorry
9:55 D—Goodnight
9:57 ME—Goodnight
10:01 D—You ok?
10:02 ME—No.
10:02 D— Talk to me tell me.
10:03 ME—I've been trying to call you, text you for 24 hours and I feel like you are pushing me away. I don't know what I did but I can't guess on how to solve the problem.
10:04 D—I'm sorry I'm not trying to
10:04 ME—I feel like you hate me.
10:04 D—I don't hate you.
10:05 ME—Yes, it has been distant but its been a rough few weeks. I am someone who likes to work things out if they are worth a try. we've been in a great place before so I don't feel like it's a lost cause but ignoring me is not the answer. I just had a freaking meltdown.
10:07 D—I'm so sorry. So much has been going on with work and what not. I'm trying to deal with it.
10:07 ME—D, I understand that. But you have to tell me stuff, I cannot just guess. The person I love tells me he's not happy in the relationship…that is the worst feeling. I can't even get my boyfriend to talk to me.
10:10 D—it's not you. I'm unhappy with my situation.
10:11 ME—Well, would you be happier without me around.
10:12 D—Noooooo I would never say that
10:12 ME—Well I have to ask because it feels that way
10:13 D—I'm so sorry
10:14 ME—I understand you've got stuff to deal with. But we are in a relationship. You can tell me stuff. I will always do what I can to help you, even if you need a night alone or whatever. we are both in this and we are supposed to be able to count on each other
10:15 D—I know
10:28 D—sleeping?
10:30 ME—No.
10:31 D—I can't say sorry enough.

Employee visit to Customer Pays Dividends
At Premier Galvanizing we know how important it is for our employees to understand the needs of our customers first hand. We have therefore made a commitment that all of our employees across our departments will visit a customer.
By making this commitment our employees get the opportunity to understand what the customer really requires from a galvanizer, it is also a great opportunity to put names to faces too. We have always been proud of the personal relationships that we forge with our clients – this is a great way to truly personalise our service even further.
An additional benefit for our customers is that the our employees gain association and ownership of the products we will be galvanizing for them. We have found that these visits also ensure our people feel responsible for the final product produced.
Blueline Trailers, near Boston Lincolnshire
Members of our team recently visited Blueline Trailers so as to gain a better understanding of their business and the products they produce. The visit lasted around half an hour with our team having the chance to understand why the trailers needed stacking in a certain way.
It's only by visiting the customer that the employee got the chance to understand the potential problems that poor stacking could have in the assembly process.
Want to arrange a visit?
If you feel your company would benefit from a visit from one of our operatives please feel free to contact Bob Preston on firstname.lastname@example.com

One can buy Deca online with prescription form any online stores.Deca comes in both injectable form as well as in tablet form. It has oily soluble substances and it can be injected. Many body builders use it weekly. Deca is also available in table form. This drug converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone by neutralizing the tissues and decreases the androgen levels. Deca is beneficial for bodybuilders when it is used exclusively in less quantity. The estrogen levels in the body are reduced and when female users use it, it can reduce or increase the drive for sex. Oral pill form of Nandrolone is available in different doses. This works best when a person uses it at 600mg weekly for a period of 12-16 weeks during bulking cycles and 400mg for 12-16weeks when for cutting cycles. Women must use it in low dose as 50-100mg weekly. Many athletes stack this with other performance enhancing drugs. Deca is popular for stimulating the collagen and many experience decrease of joint pains after using deca cycle.

Deca also helps in increasing the red blood cells count which is needed for the body to carry oxygen and it helps in building muscles. Women use it in low dose for gaining muscles and there are few masculine side effects so, its better to use it for a very short time. In women side effects like lowering the sex drive, reducing the production of testosterone and increasing masculinity are seen. It does not show any adverse effects on the hair, and other organs. This steroid deca can be stacked with any other steroid and helps in healing injuries.

People who have high levels of calcium also should not take Deca and who have history of heart attack must not use it. Deca is the most popular steroid and helps in enhancing performance.

According to research conducted by OkCupid, a popular online dating service that collects data from its users and allows users to submit their own questions for others to answer, the three questions that best predict compatibility (measured as the likelihood of forming a committed relationship with another OkCupid user) are not exactly what you might expect. Users who agreed on their responses to the following three questions were more likely to form a relationship:
1. "Do you like horror movies?"
2. "Have you ever traveled around another country alone?"
3. "Wouldn't it be fun to chuck it all and go live on a sailboat?"
Why is it so important to agree on these particular questions? According to Robb Willer, a sociologist at the University of California, Berkeley, these questions seem to reflect fundamental personality traits, specifically sensation-seeking and openness to experience, and research suggests that similarity in personality traits predicts both initial attraction and relationship satisfaction. On a practical level, matching on these questions may reflect a preference for similar types of activities, but they also seem to tap into deeper values.
For more first-date advice, such as what you can find out by asking "do you like the taste of beer?," see the OkTrends blog.

April 2, 2012 - A Matter of Truss
A Matter of Truss One of the many milestones in the construction of the International Space Station was the delivery of the S0 truss segment, the backbone of the station's 11-segment Integrated Truss Structure, which took seven years to complete. Now longer than a football field, the ITS provides pivotal attachment points for the station's solar arrays, thermal control radiators, and external payloads. The S0 truss segment arrived at the station during the STS-110 mission, which was launched ten years ago this week. In this image, astronaut Lee Morin, STS-110 mission specialist, is anchored to the mobile foot restraint at the end of the ISS's Canadarm2 robot arm during the second scheduled session of extravehicular activity. Atlantis and its crew of seven remained docked at the ISS for seven days.

This great little Italian restaurant is where I stopped to have dinner last night. Not only is the service top notch, the food homemade and sooo tasty but the owner, Jill Bacus, is super sweet! Her staff is attentive, prompt and make you feel right at home. We decided on an appetizer of arincini and entrees of Chicken Chianti (last night's special) and Chicken Parmigiana with a glass of sangria. Everything was excellent and generous in portion.
Jill comes out to greet each guest and chat for a while. She's first generation American and all her recipes have been handed down from her mother. Looking around the restaurant you see pictures of her family and pictures of customers' family on the Wall of Love. Jill's goal is to make everyone "feel the love" and she does an excellent job of it!
We'll definitely be visiting again and after being sweet talked into this delicious dessert how could I not come back for more?
You can find Ciao located at 823 SE 47th Ter in downtown Cape. Check them out on the web or Facebook – show them some love!
Talk to Jill about her catering options too for your office or special event.
