Sometimes it's easy to forget that not everyone is as much of a beer geek as I am. Beer and brewing has its own language that has developed over thousands of years. I thought it would be productive and helpful to those readers that are not yet as enthusiastic as I am about beer, to provide a list of some of the most commonly used terms with a short definition. Some of these can get pretty technical, for instance, here is a brewing science definition for Wort: pronounced wurt:
The liquid obtained when malt enzymes attach a heated aqueous slurry of ground endosperm of malted and unmalted cereal. And here is a layman's definition: the sweet liquid that the brewers gets after adding malted grain and other starches and sugars to warm water, it is called wort up until the yeast it pitched, then it is called beer. I'll try to keep everything simple. So, in no particular order, my decoded brewing terms:
Mash: n. A fermentable mixture of starches and water from which alcohol can be distilled.
v. To convert (malt or grains) into a mash (see above).
- Sparge: To distribute heated water over the grains in a mash in order to wash out the remaining sugars.
- Trub: pronounced troob: is the haze or flocked protiens and other matter that appears in wort while boiling and cooling. The wort is usually separated from the troob by siphoning before it is fermented. Trub also refers to the thick layer of sediment that settles out after the yeast finish fermenting the beer.
- Alcohol by Weight (ABW) vs. Alcohol by Volume (ABV): After Prohibition ended, the large American breweries were decidedly skittish about the alcohol content in their beers. Thus, they wanted their beers to seem more modest, so they went with the measurement system that provided the lowest number, which is ABW (because alcohol is lighter than water). Today, most macrobreweries use ABW whereas most craft breweries and pretty much all the foreign breweries use ABV. To give you a rough comparison of the measurements, a beer with 3.2 percent ABW is equal to a beer with about 4 percent ABV (in other words, what's known as "3.2 beer" is really 4-percent-ABV beer).
- International Bittering Unit (IBU): An IBU is a measure of the actual bitterness of a beer as contributed by the alpha acids from hops. Because the apparent bitterness of a beer is subjective to the taste of the drinker (ie. the balancing malt sweetness of the beer will sometimes mask the bitterness) this is not always an accurate measure of the "hoppiness" of a beer. But, generally speaking, beers with IBUs of less than 20 have little to no apparent hops presence. Beers with IBUs from 20 to 45 are the most common and have mild to pronounced hops presence. Beers with IBUs greater than 45 are heavily hopped and can be quite bitter. They say that humans can only detect differences of 6 IBUs and there is a limit to how much bitterness a beer can hold. So, published IBUs can be quite high even though any more than about 100 IBUs are redundant.
- Ale: Ales are the oldest kinds of beers. These beers are fermented with yeast that float on or near the top and are often referred to as "top fermented" beers. Ale yeasts typically ferment best at warmer temperatures. All yeast will ferment best at warm temperatures, but some will put out some pretty nasty byproducts we don't want in our beer. Ale yeasts seem to do just fine though and with the warmer fermentations, produce lots of nice fruity esters and spicy phenolics which add a lot of flavor to the beer. Ales generally don't require much aging prior to being released and prior to the Craft Beer movement in the US, weren't very popular.
- Lager: Lagers are relative newcomers to the beer world, having only been around for the last three hundred years or so. Through natural selection, lager yeasts were the only ones to survive the cold temperatures in Germany and surrounding areas. These yeast ferment very well at cold temperatures and since they are fermenting cold, they don't produce nearly as many fruity esters or phenolics as the ale yeasts do. Lager beers are usually cold conditioned for several months to further smooth out the rough edges of the fermentation and thus when released are super clean tasting beers. Most of the beers you have been drinking throughout your life were probably lagers. Pilseners are the most popular beer style in the world and have been for over a century. The light American lagers that most people drink are very light versions of some of the fuller flavored pilseners. Additional sugars and adjuncts such as corn or rice are added to the barley to make the beer lighter (and unfortunately less flavorful).
Well, there are some of the most common terms you may encounter when reading these or other articles about beer. Hopefully as you become more informed you can read some of the beer labels and be able to decode what the brewery is trying to tell you. Be patient though, as I said before, man has been brewing beer since civilization began and along with it came its own language. Pretty soon you will be able to read beer labels like a pro.

|hahaha gud point.
|hell yeah
|Wow a really unbiased opinion, kudos to you .. /s
|I have owned both cameras at different times and I must have taken over 10k photos with each of them. What do I think of them? Buy the 7D if you are into sports, action or wildlife photography. The 8 fps burst, 19 cross type sensors really shine when it comes to action. If you are not going to taking photos of fast moving objects in general then D7000 is a good choice.
|Always posting at Nikon's defense, you people are too much.
|That depends on the lens you are using. The Canon 85mm 1.8 is faster and sharper compared to several other lenses, which used on an outdated 30D Canon body would perform better than a 7D with a 50mm 1.4 Lens attached.
| 7D is not by far superior or the other way around, it's how you use the camera which matters the most. As for quality and technical aspects, both are still great cameras, however the site is intentionally leaving out certain features the 7D or any other Canon in order to keep Nikon above. It is a disgusting display of advertising which may lead plenty to suspect that Nikon may have a hand in influencing this sites scores and providing inaccurate information on the competitor.
7D:197 lenses
D7000:205 lenses
Those numbers are inaccurate, yet intentional. Proper sources would be nice from this site.
| Your website is in fact pure shit and useless for those who want proper facts. You rigged the scores and left out features the Canon 7D has.
I've compared dozens of cameras on your site between Nikon and Canon, Nikon always wins no matter what. Why is that? Why can't I even compare the Nikon D100 with any other camera on here? is it that shitty that it shouldn't be scored? It is completely obvious of the blatant bias on this site leaning towards Nikon. I've been trying to look for a fair and balanced site and this one in no ways compares to fairness and factual information. Now you may disregard what I just typed and assume I'm a Canon fan boy or some sort of angry person who owns a 7D, but that would be a false assumption. There is a reason why the 7D was and is still widely used more than the D7000, especially in the cinematic such as "The Avengers", "Aftershock", "The Borgias", "127 Hours", "Act of Valor", and so on.
But all that aside, why do you only respond when someone is criticizing the site rather than listen to peoples complaints on the biased point of views, lack of technical specification, features, and manipulated scores? Why don't you do the ethical thing and make things proper?
I am neither siding with brands, which I used both in several different occasions due to Nikon making great lenses for certain situations where Canon fails and Canon having its strengths in other types of lenses where Nikon fails. Seriosuly though, fix this site and get your heads out of your asses. I've already experienced the dark side of the D100's scam campaign over the D70 and yet there's a reason why you won't let people compare that camera on here.
|rplying above...funny...600d better than d5100..7d indeed better than d7000...my own unsatisfied with d7000 is image blur so called out of focus...and japan not in asean..
|Nikons Crap is equivalent to Canon's Pro.
| I think Canon it to Nikon as AMD to Intel.
Of course AMD = Nikon and Canon = Intel Am I right?
|Exactly I was thinking to buy the 7d over the d7000 because it was a pro dslr,but then I spent day after day watching reviews and then I started liking the d7000.I would go for the canon and the next day I would decide to rather get the nikon,every time.I finally got the d7000 and it was a great decision.I really like the Nikon and I am so glad that I didnt get the Canon.Nikon and Canon are the best camera brands in the world.The canon is also a great camera but the Nikon is better(sorry canon fans but its true).I would highly recomend the d7000.It is really a jolly good dslr!
|I don't know why exists people that thinks like a "nikonians" or "canonians" like soccer or basketball team. I use Canon and I was thinking in buying a Nikon D7000 insteady and the COMPANY don't bothers me, if one is bether than other, I'll go for that.
|I have owned the 7d for 1 year. The first one had seriously focus problems. Got a new one, it worked perfect. Images are sharp and overall very good. The camera is a joy to shoot, the ergonomic and handeling is superb. Some weeks ago i got a Nikon D7000. Long story, but i didnt pay for it :) Well, the images is better on Nikon, thats for sure, but by a lot? No. On higher isos the images are much better, at lower isos they are about the same. Abit less noise in the D7000 though, even on iso 100. The colors are abit more pleasing on Nikon too. However, the Nikon dosent feel as good in my hands, the ergonomic and handeling are not as good as 7d. So, yeah...i sold my 7d. Why? Because i take more landscape shots than sports and wildlife. The larger sensor gives me more cleaner imagaes and better color. Is that a reason enough? No! The 7d took exelent landscapes shot too. But my gf using Nikon, so now we can share lenses. If i havent got the D7000 for free, i wouldnt have swaped.
|first nikon d7000 is not an entry level camera. it is a mid-range camera. about canon 7d weather seal, i do not know since i have never tested, but there is a clip which shows that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCT-YMgjm9k&feature=digest_wed
|2011 Canon 1Dx using segmented color metering, Nikon using it years before even you know what is digital photography. And FYI, I'm Leica user. Eat that.
|Yes, that is agreed. Does that mean we should never compare camera bodies?
|Being lighter or thinner may be an advantage to one, but may be seen as a disadvantage to another. I like heavier, so I don't see it as a disadvantage. If you can't lug around an 860g camera then you may want to book yourself a place at Shady Pines retirement village so long
|I apologise, thats our mistake, we'll get that fixed up asap, the D7000 does not have image stabilization built in.
|When was Nikon put the Image stabilization technology into the camera, I can't find any infomation from the Nikon web site!!!!!!
|I think thats because it is only recently that Nikon made a BETTER video camera. That being said, Nikons D7000 is much newer and much loaded than the older 7D. Which do you prefer old or new? Ok I'm going to play with my D800 now keep playing with your old camera! hahahaha!
|So what makes the 7D a pro camera and the D7000 an entry level? The camera itself. Ask Nikon why it is an entry level, they are the ones who labeled that. I think their Pro level starts with the D400 now just like it started with the D300. Anything below that are all entry-levels. Whereas Canon's they call all of them PRO why? to FOOL YOU into buying them HAHAHAHAHA!!! Now we all know who were fooled and foolish enough to go with their slogan!
|Both are rubbish. I shoot with both of those cameras. Pentax K-5 eats both of them in terms of iq, ergonomics, weather sealing, high ISO handling, etc. This comes from a Nikon fan. However now I shoot m4/3rds and my film rangefinder with a red dot on it ;)
|I haven't in over a year I keep meaning to but never do
| you don't shoot in the rain? and you never shoot unless its on a tripod? You must miss an awful amount of great moments when your busy setting up.I use a d7000 on a regular basis and NEVER have a problem with over saturation, soft focus yes but I think that is related to the lens (tamron 17-50mm 2.8) not the camera.
I have yet to try a 7d myself so I have no opinion on it. That being said you seem like a biased person who hasn't bothered to put your hands around another camera and shoot.

From stretching programs to exercise routine tips, our team brings you valuable health and fitness-related posts to help you get there to reach your health goals.
If you're a young female athlete, the answer is yes. Unfortunately, this type of ligament tear can end your season and keep you away from physical activity for months.
Luckily, the sports medicine team at ATI Physical Therapy is here to offer these ACL injury prevention tips:
1. Learn proper body mechanics and address strength deficits. In particular, focus on strengthening hamstring and core muscles.
2. Because females have wider hips than males and more joint laxity, their knees are more likely to buckle in or bow out when jumping and landing. To help prevent injury, females should focus on bending their knees straight ahead when landing.
3. Injuries often occur when players plant a foot and quickly change direction. To minimize risk, don't extend the leg too far away from you. The knee should remain over the ankle joint.
4. Engage in plyometric/jump training to learn proper technique and improve balance in strength from the front to the back of the thigh.

Many of us have experienced the excitement and awe of watching 8,000 pound orcas, or "killer whales," soar out of the water and fly through the air at sea parks, as if in perfect harmony with their trainers. Yet, in our contemporary lore this mighty black and white mammal is like a two-faced Janus-beloved as a majestic, friendly giant yet infamous for its capacity to kill viciously. Blackfish unravels the complexities of this dichotomy, employing the story of notorious performing whale Tilikum, who-unlike any orca in the wild-has taken the lives of several people while in captivity. So what exactly went wrong?

Prosecution continues case against Ryan Widmer, investigation under fire from defense
Widmer trial Day 3: the jury tours the Widmer home and hears testimony from first witnesses
Jury seated in Widmer murder case, trial set to begin
Widmer retrial Day 1: Jury selection begins
Dr. Werner U. Spitz, a forensic pathologist who has decades of experience working on some of the nation's most celebrated murder cases, took the stand today as attorneys continued their case in defense of Ryan Widmer in Warren County, Monday. Widmer's retrial on a sole count of murder in the death of his wife has entered its third (and likely final) week of testimony.
Spitz's testimony will center around an autopsy he performed on Sarah Widmer just days after she drowned in her bathtub two years ago. Spitz is testifying on behalf of her husband, Ryan, who is charged with her murder.
Ryan Widmer was convicted of murder last year after a lengthy trial and several days of jury deliberation. However, his conviction was thrown out after Judge Neal Bronson found that several jurors had conducted home experiments in direct violation of jury instructions.
Now, the prosecution again tries to convince a jury that Widmer murdered his wife. The first two weeks of testimony have centered around two theories: the prosecution's theory that Ryan forcibly drowned Sarah in the bathtub; and the defense theory that Sarah had some medical problem (such as a seizure) that caused her to drown without force.
At the first trial, Spitz testified that he found many of the same things that the county coroner (and prosecution expert) found, but there also were some conflicting findings. Most significantly, Spitz last year testified that he disagreed with Dr. Russell Uptegrove's ruling that the manner of Sarah Widmer's death was homicide.
Spitz testified last year that the manner of death was "undetermined", meaning that neither he nor any other expert could discover the manner of Sarah's death.
Spitz, who speaks with a heavy German accent and regularly has both jurors and court-watchers in laughter, has been considered a world-renowned forensic pathologist for decades. He has been an expert in the investigations of the JFK and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. assassinations, was a witness in the Jon Benet Ramsey murder and the O.J. Simpson civil trial. He is the author of multiple textbooks and treatises on forensic pathology and testified that he has conducted many studies on drowning.

Adrian McPherson wants to be a starting quarterback in the Canadian Football League. The Toronto Argonauts need a starting quarterback.
Talk about a match made in heaven.
After the Montreal Alouettes officially signed quarterback Cody Pickett on Monday, one can only wonder what the future will hold for McPherson.
This offseason, McPherson has certainly been adamant about the fact that he wants to be traded to another team. The Florida State product, who joined Montreal in 2008, has been riding the bench for two seasons behind starting pivot Anthony Calvillo. While the Alouettes have continually stated that McPherson is the future of their team, Calvillo doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime.
Before the Pickett signing, it appeared Montreal had not intention of getting rid of McPherson. Unless they are signing Pickett to be a third string quarterback, it looks McPherson may get his wish.
One thing is for sure, the Toronto Argonauts should be praying that they can land McPherson on their team.
Though he has seen limited playing time in his career, the sky appears to be the limit for McPherson. The 6'6, 220 pound quarterback is already one of the best in the league at running the short-yardage offence and has shown potential in limited action.
In minimal playing time last season, McPherson completed 68.1% of his passes for 506 yards and six touchdowns. In his start against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last season, he finished 20/35, with 232 yards and a touchdown. He was also the leading rusher in the game with 95 yards and one touchdown.
Toronto has struggled to find a solid quarterback since legendary pivot Damon Allen, and McPherson could certainly improve their offence. Not only would McPherson be an upgrade in the passing game, but also in the running game. During his time in Montreal, McPherson ran for 437 yards with seven touchdowns.
Simply put, Toronto needs a quality quarterback and McPherson desperately wants to prove what he is worth. Sounds like a good combination.

The Master and the Molotov
We think it's a Stalin reference, rather than to the famous cocktail. Anyhow.
Get yourself healed up- burgers are still just $1 at the 69th Street- and then head down to meet with Dmitri on the boardwalk. It would probably be a good idea to hit up the gun shop first and pick up a shotgun (if you lack one) or more ammo for it (if you don't).
An Unpopular Revolution
Now, when you think boardwalk, you probably think of the area where you went with Melissa. Truth is, the boardwalk wraps all the way around Firefly Island, and Dmitri's actually on a park bench near the south end of Mohawk Avenue. But, of course, if you followed your GPS you'd know that anyhow.
At any rate. Walk up to trigger a cutscene in which Dmitri lays it out flat- Mikhail is far too dangerous to be allowed to stay at the head of this gang. Though he hates saying it about his close friend, Dmitri can't allow such a madman to keep running the local syndicate into the floor. He needs you to remove Mikhail from the top spot.
Did you get all that? Hopefully so. You've seen what a nutcase the man can be, killing almost completely on a whim, and if you actually have any misgivings about killing him now you shouldn't have skipped all the cutscenes. Dmitri realizes that this mission will not be easy and tells you he's left you some protection up the street from the Perestroika cabaret club. Mikhail is about to head there even as you're talking (don't bother trying to intercept him. He's there as soon as the cutscene ends).
So? Go! Get in your car and tear up Mohawk to the Perestroika. Dmitri must have a sense of humor- your protection is sitting in the same spot where you found Roman hiding in the dumpster.
The protection is quite useful- a suit of body armor. This effectively doubles the length of your health meter. You may already have a set- the backalley gun shop sells them- but picking up this one will patch any holes it may have sustained. Either way, arm the shotgun, then walk on into the club.
Glasnost and All That
Mikhail knows the score, and after a short cutscene he sics his guards on you. Shotgun them, then chase the gang boss out the back door. The barkeep will open fire on you, as will some chucklefuck behind a dessert cart, but you don't have to kill them per se (do so anyways, or they'll mess up your nice new body armor).
Mikhail will call for more guards when he reaches the door, and sure enough, another one or two guards will run in as he runs out. Destroy them, then follow him out into the alley. Take out the guy who fires on you here, then the guy on the fire escape, then the guy who appears at the bottom of the escape. Once they're all dead, Mikhail will open fire on you with his Micro-Uzi. Don't bother to return fire; climb the escape quickly and he'll be cowed.
When you reach the top, he'll drop his gun and start ranting. Don't just blast him with the shotgun- those are all the signs of an Execution in the making, and indeed it is. Bring out the Pistol and wait for the flashing red before opening fire.
That's that. You'll get some cash- likely Mikhail's pocket money- and call Dmitri as you head back down the fire escape. He seems sad about the whole thing, but he's glad it's done- hopefully, this will mean peace with Petrovic. You're to call him later for your big reward, and to discuss what's ahead- for the details on that, see Russian Revolution.

Reports regarding an incident involving a recent cancellation of a senior girls basketball game between KIPP Delta Collegiate High School and Nemo Vista have been making the rounds on Twitter and Face Book. KIPP Coach Luke Hammond wants to set the record straight. According to Hammond, during the junior high boys contest between KIPP and Nemo Vista, members of KIPP's junior girls' basketball team began chanting "miss it" while a Nemo Vista player was shooting a free throw. "This action (although the norm in most gymnasiums across the country) is NOT something that we want our students saying during games," stated Hammond. "Everything should be framed positively, or toward our team." However, Hammond reported that the chanting incident alone and of itself was not what led to the cancellation of the girls' contest. "When a teacher asked the girls to stop the chants, a few of the girls did not comply and became disrespectful," continued Hammond. "At this point, we felt that our girls did not deserve to represent KIPP, so in turn the game was cancelled. Our student athletes must at all times be respectful and courteous to others, especially those in authority." Hammond stressed that at KIPP character and values are at the core of what is being taught. "This being said," added Hammond, "we hold our student athletes to an even higher standard both in their character and in their academics. It is imperative our young men and women realize that in their lives they will not be remembered only for their achievements but their character. How they carry themselves and treat others will directly affect their path of success." Hammond commented that this incident should never happen again. He added that many lessons were learned from it and he believes the athletic department and the school will be stronger because of it. "Our sincerest apologies go out to Nemo Vista's team, coaching staff, parents and administration for the cancellation of the game," concluded Hammond. Hammond added that the incident was reported to the Arkansas Activities Association and KIPP is reimbursing Nemo Vista monetarily for travel expenses.

A helicopter lands at the Shangri La Hotel, in the centre of Jakarta. The hotel is situated within easy reach of the main business area of the city. The panorama was shot at dusk, on a very still night, when all the Mosques around the hotel were calling the faithful to prayer. Quite an amasing sound.

If Photography Is Not a Crime, When Will Police Get the Message?
In February, just as the City of Baltimore was hammering out a legal settlement to end police interference with photographers, Baltimore police forcibly removed a Baltimore Sun photo editor from the scene of a shooting on a public street. That action underscored a seemingly intractable problem: getting the message to rank-and-file police officers that people have a constitutional right to photograph police carrying out their duties in public.
Judges have repeatedly thrown out criminal charges against photographers arrested while photographing police activities in public. Cities have had to pay to settle claims of civil rights violations stemming from some of the arrests. The City of Boston, for instance, agreed in 2012 to pay $170,000 to settle a videographer's civil rights claims over his arrest for videotaping police arresting another person on the Boston Common. Baltimore ended up paying $250,000 as part of its recent settlement with Christopher Sharp, who alleged that police erased the videos on his iPhone after detaining him for using the iPhone to record the arrest and beating of another person.
And yet the incidents of police interference with photographers continue apace. No sooner is one case settled, when another incident or claim pops up.
"It certainly is like playing a game of whack-a-mole," says attorney Mickey Osterreicher of the National Press Photographers Association. (more…)
