The world must act to stop this weapon of war.
Medford, Mass.; and San Diego, Calif.
Long overshadowed by conflicts in the Middle East, Darfur, Iraq, and Afghanistan, extensive, predatory terrorism – largely of a sexual nature – continues to attack the heart of Africa. The idea that the international community has a "responsibility to protect" innocent civilians must be given meaning, and nowhere is this more important than in eastern Congo. Military groups there are using rape as a devastating weapon of war.
Make no mistake: these are not isolated incidents involving rogue soldiers. This is an organized campaign of sexual terrorism – and the global community must respond forcefully.
Sexual violence haunts its victims long after the initial attack. Each act of rape humiliates its victims; emasculates men who are unable to protect them; and traumatizes victims, their families, and, in times of war, entire communities. The chronic physical conditions that rape can cause may be considered family humiliations and result in the banishment of victims from their own homes.
Rape during wars also bolsters the esprit de corps of its perpetrators and helps maintain troop levels by reducing desertions, since soldiers who become rapists may be unable to return to their family homes.
Probably no war zone in recent times has employed rape as sexual terrorism as extensively as the various military forces in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Rebecca Feeley of the Enough Project recently noted that its sickening reputation as the "rape capital of the world" overlooks rape's utility as a war weapon.

text: Snowden on Government Access to American's Data by John Sexton 17 Jun 2013 Share This: As a follow up to Liz's post, Snowden also took a question from Anthony DeRosa. DeRosa actually asked two questions: 1) Define in as much detail as you can what "direct access" means. 2) Can analysts listen to content of domestic calls without a warrant? Snowden answered both but in a somewhat circuitous fashion. First, on what "direct access" means he said this: 1) More detail on how direct NSA's accesses are is coming, but in general, the reality is this: if an NSA, FBI, CIA, DIA, etc analyst has access to query raw SIGINT databases, they can enter and get results for anything they want. Phone number, email, user id, cell phone handset id (IMEI), and so on - it's all the same. The restrictions against this are policy based, not technically based, and can change at any time. Additionally, audits are cursory, incomplete, and easily fooled by fake justifications. For at least GCHQ, the number of audited queries is only 5% of those performed. This seems like fairly straightforward claim that people with access to the NSA database can get anything. There might be some policy which says they should not do so but Snowden seems to be saying that the chances of getting caught violating that policy are fairly small. What's not clear from this answer is how much of the data available in these databases is focused on Americans and whether or not that includes call/email content as well as metadata. It's worth noting that DeRosa seemed to find this answer unsatisfactory. Snowden doesn't really answer my question, says more detail on direct access is "coming" http://t.co/UpLOVWQGbU — Anthony De Rosa (@AntDeRosa) June 17, 2013 Here is Snowden's answer to DeRosa's 2nd question which was a direct query about the ability to listen to domestic calls without a warrant: 2) NSA likes to use "domestic" as a weasel word here for a number of reasons. The reality is that due to the FISA Amendments Act and its section 702 authorities, Americans' communications are collected and viewed on a daily basis on the certification of an analyst rather than a warrant. They excuse this as "incidental" collection, but at the end of the day, someone at NSA still has the content of your communications. Even in the event of "warranted" intercept, it's important to understand the intelligence community doesn't always deal with what you would consider a "real" warrant like a Police department would have to, the "warrant" is more of a templated form they fill out and send to a reliable judge with a rubber stamp. This seems a bit vague though that may be partly because a full answer would require much more space than this format allows. So some calls including those of Americans are listened to without a warrant. Are these primarily calls made to or from suspected terrorists? How big is the list? Are these individual cases or is the NSA recording overseas calls in bulk? It's not clear what the boundaries of "incidental" collection are. As for warrants, we can see from the activity of the FISA court over a period of years that they don't say no to anything. That said, if there is some kind of warrant, even a formality, then a record is being kept of who is listening to what. In an interview with USA Today, former NSA technical director William Binney suggested Snowden's claim about wiretapping the President's phone may have been tied to Snowden's special access as a system administrator. Does that mean only people able to bypass the procedural security built into the system could wiretap the President or could any person with access to the NSA database do it? Put another way, was Snowden bragging about something he alone could do or giving us a sense of how wide open the NSA's data collection is? It's not clear. There is just not enough information in Snowden's answer or in the public record to evaluate the process or its vulnerability to abuse. Again, since DeRosa asked the question, it's worth noting he didn't find this answer very satisfactory either.

New OneConnect OCm14000-OCP Adapters Maximise Application Performance with RDMA, Support Overlay Networks for the Cloud and Enable SDN with Open Programmable APIs
INTEROP, LAS VEGAS and COSTA MESA, Calif, 1 April 2014 - Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX), a leader in network connectivity, monitoring and management and a proud member of the Open Compute Project (OCP), today announced it has released its next generation of high performance Ethernet connectivity solutions to the open source community. Now, data centres are able to utilise Emulex 10Gb Ethernet and 40Gb Ethernet (10GbE/40GbE) adapters on OCP based hardware platforms that support global cloud platforms running OpenStack or CloudStack. The new Emulex OneConnect® OCm14000-OCP 10Gb and 40Gb Ethernet (10/40GbE) Network Adapters and 10GbE Converged Network Adapters (CNAs), enable higher virtual machine (VM) densities, support the cloud with Overlay Network offloads, leverage a new RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) based low latency architecture delivering application acceleration, and integrate with next generation software-defined networking (SDN) solutions.
The Emulex OCm14000-OCP adapters are also the first CNAs available for OCP based platforms that feature fully offloaded Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI, providing performance and higher server efficiencies that are superior to software initiator-based adapters. This brings the power and flexibility of network convergence to the OCP community and allows data centres built on the OCP model to realise the full performance benefits and cabling and power consumption reductions that come with it.
"We have been working with the OCP community to provide an open, flexible and scalable I/O platform that maximises server efficiency and scales networking connectivity, while increasing application support in enterprise and hyperscale infrastructures," said Shaun Walsh, senior vice president of marketing and corporate development, Emulex. "Emulex OCm14000-OCP adapters are ideal for hyperscale and enterprise data centres that require I/O optimisation for delivering compute power, energy efficiency and scalability."
The Emulex OCm14000-OCP adapters are optimised to meet the needs of enterprises and cloud providers who are building an open infrastructure while delivering a powerful set of features and capabilities, including:
- Open Enablement of Software-defined Networking: The recently introduced Emulex SURF open API provides the tools needed to implement SDN technology that can be optimised for next generation applications and new industry standards, such as OpenStack, CloudStack and OpenFlow.
- High-Performance Virtualisation: OCm14000-OCP adapters use highly efficient and scalable hardware offload technology to transfer the overhead of virtual networking, providing up to 50 per cent better CPU utilisation[1] compared to standard NICs when used for VMware VirtualWire connection, thereby increasing the number of VMs that can be supported per server. In addition, the OCm14000- OCP adapters deliver a fundamental 4x performance increase in small packet network performance,[2] which is required to scale transaction-heavy and clustered applications.
- Rapid, Secure and Scalable Cloud Connectivity: Emulex Virtual Network Exceleration™ (VNeX) offload technology provides up to 70 per cent better performance[1] vs. software-only implementations of emerging Overlay Network standards such asNetwork Virtualisation using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE) used by Microsoft Hyper-V Network Virtualization and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) used in VMware's NSX. These Overlay Network standards enable virtual and cloud environments to scale beyond the limitations of Layer 2 networks and support seamless migration from anywhere to anywhere.
- Optimised Application Delivery with Advanced RoCE Architecture: The OCm14000-OCP adapters are based on a low-latency RoCE architecture that help enterprise IT and cloud data centres optimise unstructured and file-based storage environments, which are based on Windows Server SMB Direct and Linux NFS protocols.
- Increased Block Protocol Performance: The OCm14000-OCP adapters increase total block protocol IOPS by 50 percent over previous generation CNAs[2] and build upon the proven history of enterprise-class storage reliability at Emulex.
"As we move closer to making the disaggregated data centre a reality, we welcome design contributions that enable us to design and build scalable, more efficient technologies," said Cole Crawford, executive director of the Open Compute Project Foundation. "By open sourcing its OneConnect family of network adapters through the OCP community, Emulex provides customers with high-performing solutions that can be tailored to their needs."
Emulex is sampling OCm14000-OCP adapters with leading OCP solution providers. Emulex will be showcasing OCm14000-OCP adapters at Interop Las Vegas in booth #1158 this week.

"Safe Harbor" Statement
"Safe Harbor'' Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: With the exception of historical information, the statements set forth above, contain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or changes to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances. We wish to caution readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include the possibility that we may not realize the anticipated benefits from the acquisition of Endace on a timely basis or at all, and may be unable to integrate the technology, operations and personnel of Endace into our existing operations in a timely and efficient manner. In addition, intellectual property claims, with or without merit, that could result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays, require us to indemnify customers, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which may or may not be available. Furthermore, we have in the past obtained, and may be required in the future to obtain, licenses of technology owned by other parties. We cannot be certain that the necessary licenses will be available or that they can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we were to fail to obtain such royalty or licensing agreements in a timely manner and on reasonable terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Ongoing lawsuits, such as the action brought by Broadcom Corporation (Broadcom), present inherent risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Such potential risks include continuing expenses of litigation, loss of patent rights, monetary damages, injunctions against the sale of products incorporating the technology in question, counterclaims, attorneys' fees, incremental costs associated with product or component redesigns, liabilities to customers under reimbursement agreements or contractual indemnification provisions, and diversion of management's attention from other business matters. With respect to the continuing Broadcom litigation, such potential risks also include the adequacy of any sunset period to make design changes, the ability to implement any design changes, the availability of customer resources to complete any re-qualification or re-testing that may be needed, the ability to maintain favorable working relationships with Emulex suppliers of serializer/deserializer (SerDes) modules, and the ability to obtain a settlement which does not put us at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, the fact that the economy generally, and the technology and storage market segments specifically, have been in a state of uncertainty makes it difficult to determine if past experience is a good guide to the future and makes it impossible to determine if markets will grow or shrink in the short term. Continued weakness in domestic and worldwide macro-economic conditions, related disruptions in world credit and equity markets, and the resulting economic uncertainty for our customers, as well as the storage and converged networking market as a whole, has and could continue to adversely affect our revenues and results of operations. As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to predict our future results with any accuracy. Other factors affecting these forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the following: faster than anticipated declines in the storage networking market, slower than expected growth of the converged networking market or the failure of our Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers to successfully incorporate our products into their systems; our dependence on a limited number of customers and the effects of the loss of, decrease in or delays of orders by any such customers, or the failure of such customers to make timely payments; the emergence of new or stronger competitors as a result of consolidation movements in the market; the timing and market acceptance of our products or our OEM customers' new or enhanced products; costs associated with entry into new areas of the network, server and storage technology markets; the variability in the level of our backlog and the variable and seasonal procurement patterns of our customers; any inadequacy of our intellectual property protection and the costs of actual or potential third-party claims of infringement and any related indemnity obligations or adverse judgments; the effect of any actual or potential unsolicited offers to acquire us; proxy contests or the activities of activist investors; impairment charges, including but not limited to goodwill and intangible assets; changes in tax rates or legislation; the effects of acquisitions; the effects of terrorist activities, natural disasters, and any resulting disruption in our supply chain or customer purchasing patterns or any other resulting economic or political instability; the highly competitive nature of the markets for our products as well as pricing pressures that may result from such competitive conditions; the effects of changes in our business model to separately charge for software; the effect of rapid migration of customers towards newer, lower cost product platforms; transitions from board or box level to application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) solutions for selected applications; a shift in unit product mix from higher-end to lower-end or mezzanine card products; a faster than anticipated decrease in the average unit selling prices or an increase in the manufactured cost of our products; delays in product development; our reliance on third-party suppliers and subcontractors for components and assembly; our ability to attract and retain key technical personnel; our ability to benefit from our research and development activities; our dependence on international sales and internationally produced products; changes in accounting standards; and any resulting regulatory changes on our business. These and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our recent filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, under the caption "Risk Factors."

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

N.Y. Scene August 2011: Original Sin: Atlantic City Women's Weekend, Star Wars vs. Star Trek Burlesque, and the World Exploded
And Saturday night there was Truck Stop, which needs no introduction. From LA, to NY, to Toronto and now Atlantic City, the debaucherous girl party made an appearance, bouyed by the beats of DJ KAsh, resident deejay at Sisters in Philadelphia, and of course the crazy moves of the Truck Stop Girlz.
The weekend is over, but the images and experiences will forever be burned into your memory, like a tattoo you got after one too many vodka tonics. Wait. Where did that tribal armband come from? That wasn't there before! Where did you go after Truck Stop, dear? Actually, don't tell me. I don't want to know, but I'm glad you're alive.

Has anybody tried the AeroPress? Is it as good as they say?
I just bought one yesterday, and I just opened the box, and I'm completely confused by it. I can't tell one part from another. The instructions are way too vague for me, granted I'm not mechanically gifted. I will probably have to return it because I can't figure it out. Aerobie doesn't have a toll free number to call to talk me through it either.
I'm really disappointed.
It's actually a great device. See if this doesn't help you:
re: fini
Thanks. I took a look at it, but I still can't figure out the press parts. I'm either missing a piece, or this clear plastic cylinder is actually two pieces that should be somehow separated. If they're to be separated, I'm concerned abot forcing something, and breaking it. I want to be able to return it unbroken if I never figure it out.
Maybe, I'll have to stick with my Senseo, even though I'm not crazy about the coffee quality. I bellieve the Aeropress was meant for people who are more mechanically minded. than me.
Aerobie should have a toll-free number for klutzes like me.
re: redchile
Here's a video, hopefully this gets it going for you.
re: fini
Here is another video, this one might be a little more telling.
re: redchile
It is basically a big plastic syringe, with an outer clear plastic case, and inner (hollow) plunger. The one I used was borrowed, so I don't know how it comes from the factory. But I suspect you have to pull the plunger out of the of case. Given that the plunger has a rubber gasket, the first pull might have to be forceful.
Working from memory of using one several months ago, the basic steps are to:
- remove the plunger
- unscrew the black plastic base (unscrewing the base first might help in loosening the plunger)
- put a filter pad in the base (I believe that has a grid or holes), and screw the base back onto the main body
- put coffee in body (from the open top) (the funnel helps)
- the plunger is hollow, and can be used to measure water
- boil a measured amount of water
- pour hot water (just the right temperature) in the body
- wait a short time, then insert the plunger, and press down
- there will be air between the plunger and the liquid, so that compresses some before the water is forced through the coffee and filter.
re: paulj
Thanks, both of you for the help. My problem was in removing the plunger from the chamber. It did take a pretty forceful pull to remove the plunger. As I stated earlier, I'm not very mechanically minded, so I'm usually very cautious about not breaking things.
Anyway, I was successful in removing the plunger, now I can get past step#1. Now, I have to go out and buy some whole bean coffee. I haven't bought any for a few years now. Any recommendations of good whole bean coffees to use with the Aeropress?
I have a few more days of pods left for my Senseo. I'll be trying the Aeropress probably next week. I'll reun the video links when I do, they were quite good.
re: redchile
Would a senseo pod fit in the base of the press?
re: paulj
It looks like a Senseo pod would fit, but don't you have to paddle the actual coffee around in the Aeropress before pressing?
Also, I'm not crazy about the quality of the coffee resulting from the Senseo pods. The questionable quality, along with limited choices and availability of the pods has led me to buying the Aeropress. The Senseo medium roast pods are fair, the dark roast is okay, the flavored coffees are undrinkable, at least for me.
re: redchile
I'm really not a fan of grocery store coffee; if you have a local coffee house that roasts, that would be my first bet. If you don't mind mail ordering coffee, there are some excellent choices.
Here are a couple links to some outstanding coffee.
If you don't have one already, you might consider buying yourself a decent burr grinder so you can prepare your beans right before making the coffee. It makes a world of difference.
For those of you who have tried it, are the results all that different from a French press?
Uncle Ira
re: Uncle Ira
That's a very good question. It's like a very smooth, full-body cup of coffee. Some people liken it to espresso. I myself am not so generous to compare the two methods, and believe it tastes more like coffee brewed from a moka pot or a little like a Caffe Americano (espresso topped off with hot water).
re: Uncle Ira
If you use the coffee and water quantities that they recommend, you get something stronger than the typical French press, which can be diluted to taste. You steep the grounds as with a press, and then force the coffee through 2" paper filter with a modest amount of mechanical pressure. The result is more like a moka pot in quantity and strength. I've gone back to the Milita cone filter.
re: paulj
There's really not much "steeping" at all - no need. It's more like an espresso extraction in that regard (and when done well, you could actually get crema in addition to a hard puck). It's cleaner than a press pot - shouldn't be dregs at bottom of the cup. And it brews terrifically at 175F (manufacturer's recommendation),
The issues with the Aeropress currently are with the paper filter - some third parties are playing with metal screens for it, and that the first drops commence immediately after pouring in the water, where you'd ideally wish for puck saturation before extraction. Minor points though - for $30 it's a great single cup brewer (can do 2 cups as well, but wouldn't push it past that).
re: Panini Guy
Hello All,
I invented the AeroPress and enjoy helping people get the most from it.
For redchile who wrote "I'm not mechanically gifted", I suggest a viewing our video:
(for dial up connections
(for fast internet connections
People have found this short video to be very helpful.
Redchile also asked for a recommendation on "whole bean coffee". I presume that you realize that the AeroPress uses ground coffee. We recommend fine drip grind. Dark roasts taste especially good to me.
My experience with coffee pods is that they are stale. One study that I read found that the average time between grinding and consumption for pods is nine months! Ugh!
I recommend that your grind the beans right at the store. That's available in supermarkets or in coffee shops such as Starbucks. Of course they may also offer pre-ground coffee, but they can also grind it when you buy it – which is fresher. The sources suggested by fini are definitely first rate.
Panini Guy mentioned that some people have asked for metal filters. Here are a couple of comments:
I did blind taste-testing with metal filters vs paper. Every single taster strongly preferred paper. It's smoother and less bitter.
You can re-use each paper filter twenty times just by brushing it off under running water. So the 350 filters in your AeroPress box could make 7,000 pressings.
Uncle Ira asked about the AeroPress vs the French press. AeroPress coffee has no grit, has one fifth the acid level, and is far less bitter. You can also make espresso-strength brew in the AeroPress, which is necessary for cappuccinos or lattes. Finally, the cleanup is much quicker with the AeroPress.
There are about a thousand posts about the AeroPress here:
This is page 110, but you can page backwards, or even go to the first page.
I hope this is helpful. I'll be happy to answer questions posted here, or sent directly to me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Sincerely yours,
Alan Adler
re: AlanAdler
You do get around!
Here's what I love most about the product: I detest hotel room coffee makers. Instead, I simply pack my Aerobie in the suitcase with some freshly ground coffee to last the length of my trip and I'm good. Can't do that with a Bodum... it would be in shards.
(and I'd still like to try a metal filter... maybe even cloth or something other than paper, but that's nitpicking)
re: AlanAdler
Hello, AlanAdler!
I love that you posted here in response to all of our curiosity and questions about the AeroPress. Ours just arrived today and now with all your very detailed and helpful information we are ready!
re: AlanAdler
I have an AeroPress, use it daily with three scoops of coffee, and then with a frother (AeroLatte or from IKEA) heat and then foam up some low fat soy milk or low fat milk, and combine the coffee with the foamed soy milk or milk, and have an excellent latte that lets the flavor of the coffee through. I use Zabars coffee, or Keanes, or Melitta Columbia, or Trader Joes Italian Roast, and each tastes different, each taste is clean and clear, and the AeroPress is responsible for it because it lets the flavor through, minimizes the oils, and extracts the essence of the coffee fully. I'm sold, obviously, on the AeroPress and have been using it for about a year. Yes, there are some things to learn and it does involve a number of steps, but the price is so right and the flavor is so good, it's well worth it.
re: EclecticEater
We have been using the AeroPress now for about 6 months. We LOVE the coffee it makes! We, too, have tried lots of other gear and their various processes, but the AeroPress makes a superior cup of coffee -- with no bitterness or gritty residue. Did I mention: we LOVE it!
re: yayadave
But to answer your question:
I am primarily a tea drinker. When I do drink coffee, I am very sensitive to any burned or "off" flavors. The AeroPress magically makes a great cup of coffee...EVEN from Starbuck's beans.
re: AlanAdler
Love the coffee from my AeroPress and the fact that I do use the filters for 2 weeks before I replace it. Now that I know I can use them 20 times?
Stopped using my French press.
re: Panini Guy
Panini Guy, I wanted to use a finer ground and still not have it the first drop start so soon, the problem is solved by using a double filter. Works really well. No leaking. I also get the fuller flavor that comes with a finer ground. I don't think a metal filter would work as well for my purpose, selfish as it may seems.
I just got one of these the other day. Though I'm not exactly a connoisseur, I think it makes an excellent and convenient cup of coffee。
The major advantages over the french press that I used before are 1)the coffee is a lot less bitter 2)there is essentially no sediment left in the coffee once it's been filtered and 3)it is much much easier to clean。
I usually make a relatively strong double and add hot water to fill a 12 oz coffee mug for an americano。
The only thing I could really forsee someone not liking about this thing is the fact that the coffee isn't steaming hot if you heat the water to the temperature indicated in the instructions (170 degrees, I think). If that's an issue, one could probably just heat it in the microwave after it's brewed.
I got mine for 25 dollars plus shipping from Amazon.com. I think it's an incredible deal at that price.
re: Condimentality
Hi Condimentality,
Here are a few thoughts about brew temperature:
If you drink it straight from the AeroPress (espresso strength), and want it hot -- pre-heat the cup with the same hot water you use to brew with.
If you dilute to American strength using the same hot water you use to brew with, your brew will be very hot -- perhaps so hot that you'll want to add some cold.
My tests indicate that about 145F (when in the cup) is the hottest anyone can drink and that can burn some people. I prefer it cooler. Many of us discussed drinking termperature on another forum and agreed that when the brew is too hot, you can't taste it as well.
Sincerely yours,
re: AlanAdler
Well, I went from initially being unable to remove the plunger from the chamber upon opening the AeroPress box, to just brewing my first cup of AeroPress coffee.
The first cup was okay, not great, not bad. The results were quite different from my Senseo. The Senseo creates a frothy cup, but the first few sips have a bitter, somewhat burnt quality, perhaps it's the temperture of the water or the age and quality of the coffee in the pods.
The Aeropress cup was mellower. Being my first cup, I'm surprised it wasn't a disaster. The AeroPress is a simple, logically designed device. And, the clean-up was a snap, about the same as the Senseo.
I can see where the Aeropress would be a tinkerers dream, given the number of variables. They include the coffee used, the grind, the water and it's temperature, the stirring time, the pressing time etc.
I'm not a coffee connoisseur. I like one cup of coffee, once in a while, that's why I bought the Senseo. However, I grew tired of the Senseo's limited pod choices, their price, and their questionable quality. I think the AeroPress fits my needs well, because I can buy many different whole bean coffees, grind them myself, and determine which ones I like best.
I do have a question about the water temperature, though. I heated about 10 ounces of water in the microwave for an Americano, but I determined the temperature by simply by touch. I could have been off by 20 degrees, who knows.
Anyone have a more exacting way of determining the water tempertaure that's not too involved, or expensive?
re: redchile
I used a microwave with a thermometer probe attachment, so I just filled the plunger to the appropriate level, stuck the probe in there, and set it to heat to 170.
If you don't have an attachment for your microwave, you could just use trial and error with a regular thermometer to determine how long it takes in your microwave to heat your ideal amount of water to your desired temperature. Afterwards, just heat it for that long each time.
Also, @ AlanAdler:
Pre-heating the cup with hot water made a huge difference in maintaining the temperature of the coffee after it's been brewed. I always do the same thing whenever I make tea, so I'm suprised I didn't think of it. You've invented a great product, and I'm looking forward to experimenting with it.
re: redchile
For $10 you can buy a Taylor instant read thermometer. It can tell you the water temperature. You can use a microwave and get the timing down or you can buy a cheap Marvel hotpot with a small rheostat on the side that gives a crude way to limit the temperature to lower than boiling.
re: EclecticEater
Regarding the water temperature, you can also buy an electric kettle, preferably one with a variable temperature dial. There's a high end version from t-fal, or get one of the hot pots at an Asian grocery. Cooler (165-175 degree) water is essential for delicate green teas and oolongs, and definitely produces smoother coffee.
I love my Aeropress.
Thanks to all the very helpful information on this post on using the AeroPress, we found it quite easy to use from start to finish. Yes, the AeroPress coffee is very smooth, with no residue left in the cup. I am not a Starbuck's fan, but we had some fresh Starbuck's coffee that I was quite reluctant to use. However, the AeroPress even made good of the Starbucks. I tasted no burnt tones or other "off" flavors. I am sold on the AeroPress!
we bought one recently after to many vacations without my fancy espresso machine (at the mother in laws house). and all i can say is this- do not let anyone or any literature fool you into thinking you can make a real espresso from this product. an americano type cup of coffee came out fine, but trying to make an espresso was virtually impossible. ZERO crema, nothing like it. but if you are looking for something like a french press but smaller and plastic this is the dealy. easy to clean, once you figure it out it's easy to use, my wife found it difficult to put enough pressure on the machine to use it correctly (slowly but steadily). all in all, it's great for the price and for american style long coffee products. enjoy fb
re: frankbooth
Very true. The AeroPress is not an espresso machine. I just got one and have been playing around with it. I own about very method known to brew coffee so why not an AeroPress. Actually I like it and it will travel well with my other coffee gear. I found a latte less satisfying compared to real espresso which stand up better to milk. For an americano it's great and you can dilute to make a good regular coffee.
I broke down and bought an AeroPress (as well as a Bodum Bistro Mug Press instead of a regular French press with glass) It all started with acquiring a stone quern for cold grinding. In fact it actually started with my curiosity in stone ground green tea for matcha. One thing led to another....
Before I used the Aeropress for coffee I wanted to try it for tea. I wanted to try to make the thicker, non whipped Japanese green tea without the muddiness. Since the temperature tends to be lower for Japanese green tea I figure it was a good way to get what I want. At this point I hadn't figured out the Aeropress, yet, but I see the potential for making green tea concentrate that's good for a few cups of clear but potent green tea throughout the day. Just add hot water to the concentrate.
It wasn't until I tried it with coffee of various finess of ground that I settled upon using two filters at once for a slightly thicker and sturdier filter. This really helped filtering out the fine grounds, as well as prevent the liquid from draining into the cup too soon (before pressing). I can see how this double filter use will improve my green tea powder press and I will have to go back and try that..after I clean the coffee ground off of the stone quern I'm using.
During one of the attempts to make a coffee concentrate, I used a lot more grounds than for one cup. I used the same grounds again and it still tasted good. I think the double filter enabled me to try making coffee like I make tea in doing multiple infusion.
Still learning and experimenting, but definitely happy to have this well-designed to expand new ways of tea and coffee making. Just hope all the purists out there don't get too upset...
re: HLing
Your report is fascinating to me, HLing. We, too, have experimented a bit with the AeroPress, but not to the extent you have. Please do continue to post as you refine your technique.
Additionally, perhaps you will want to go to San Gabriel Superstore to buy a Vietnamese coffee making gizmo (stainless steel -- about $4.00 each -- in the coffee section on the upper shelf). I am amazed at how the simple AeroPress can make such great coffee! As well, this Vietnamese coffee apparatus is equally mystifying. It is simple, but it makes wonderful Vietnamese coffee (use the Vietnamese coffee in the San Gabriel Superstore -- in a red can in the front part of the market section). This will give you one more brewing "toy!"

Liu, thanks for the rec. Back in my college days in Houston, TX I have owned a Vietnamese coffee making filter that fits over the cup (and the Vietnamese yellow/orange tin Cafe du Monde, of course). Back then it was that, and a French Press. Then a trip to Italy had me switching to the stove top espresso maker, which had remained the favored method in the last 10 years.
Recently though, before I tried the Aeropress I had been curious about the stove top Neapolitan coffee pot, which is similar in concept to the Vietnamese coffee filter, I think, though no one in Chowhound actually chimed in on that, so...
Anyhow, the current new favorite is the Aeropress, but another aspect has been introduced since my French Press and Vietnamese coffee days, and that is the stone grounding of the beans. So I suppose at some point I will revisit the old methods with this added element.
What will be next? I see it coming, inevitable...home roasting...
re: HLing
"Home roasting..." -- Oh, MY! Perhaps you need a lab...with beakers and viles and burners!
Just this morning we made Vietnamese coffee with our two little stainless filters (yes, the type that fits over the cup -- as you described), and the result is divine!
Originally, we ordered our first filter online -- with some Vietnamese coffee in a deep red can; the coffee is really good, but this particular filter is not right. I think the holes are too tiny. Then, we found the stainless filters at the San Gabriel Superstore in LA, and they are superior to the one that we bought online. The holes drip better. Now we own three of these Vietnamese filters, and surprisingly each one is a bit different. There are probably many manufacturers, even though each looks the same. I think the hole size is critical for proper brewing, and the resultant cup is an amazing surprise of heavenly Vietnamese coffee! Of course, we do add some sweetened condensed milk into the cup before dripping!
I wish you well with your experiments, and do post back!
re: liu
Liu, I threw that out there thinking it's a joke, but then I'm reminded (since you are a tea drinker as well) of what the lady at Luh Yu tea told me regarding toasting old tea leaves. She used to sell those roasters for tea (for what's now popular in Taiwan - the Old Oolong. Old as in aged, I guess. I'm not sure of the details, but a toaster/roaster is involved)....so who knows, maybe I will ask her if she'd still have one to sell.
re: scubadoo97
Well, it's taken me a year, but I'm finally here, home roasting. I've never held the green coffee beans in my hands before...beautiful jade like pellets, hard as rocks.
I am not going to invest in a dedicated roaster, though. Not even a popcorn popper. I'm sticking with primitive & basic.
The thought of drinking coffee so much more vibrant, the thought of not putting up with the inevitable decaying flavor each pre-roasted, store bought coffee batch, and the thought of saving money...Scubadoo97 is right, I'll probably never go back..
re: scubadoo97
My first and 2nd attempt was using a BEKA copper sauce pan with a lid. I was too chicken to let it go too dark even though I've read that it can get smoky. So, I've heard the 1st crack in both instances but still have to learn about getting the temperature right. The first attempt ground out to be lighter, reddish brown, and the 2nd time I got it a little darker. My observation so far is that the coffee tasted smoother after I've made it and let it set for a few minutes instead of drinking right away. Is that strange?
Next I will try the cast iron skillet since it has two lips on the side for some steam to escape. I can't buy anything new at this point, so will have to learn to roast with what I have.
I have been using the Aeropress since Christmas, and love it. I'll try it with concentrated tea soon. Or concentrated coffee taken to work.
I have fussed with it over some really difficult presses, until I re-read the instructions (tossed out, but conveniently on-line!) I needed a finer grind (had to clean out the KA burrs with barley!) and I had to learn to press slowly. If I do an initial hard press, a puck forms and I'm in trouble. So I go slow and easy, with a fine even grind.
I have a Zassenhaus on the way, so the grind will be even better!

Chevys serves up Mexican fare in Texas-size portions, with salsa and tortillas made from scratch daily. Begin by ordering a bowl of guacamole to witness a server capture, skin, and gut a live avocado right at your table before hand-mashing it into fresh guacamole. From there, let your taste buds tango across tender tamales wrapped by hand each morning, or play mad scientist and suture together an electrified monster plate from enchiladas, tacos, grilled chili rellenos, tamales, and chimichangas ($10.29 for any two, $11.99 for any three, $12.99 for any four). Seafarers, meanwhile, will want to try the grilled fish tacos—a mélange of grilled fish, chipotle aioli, lettuce, and pico de gallo, warmly embraced by the floury flaps of El Machino tortillas and topped with a sprinkling of crumbled cotija cheese ($10.99). To keep the hot peppers and piquant salsas from singing the sinuses, douse your mouth-flames periodically with drinks such as the Kraken fruit punch, black spiced rum coupled with spicy mango and orange juice ($8.75), or the Blue Agave margarita, a mixture of El Mayor Reposado tequila and blue Curacao ($6.75 regular, $11.50 grande).
Armed with an array of more than 20 fresh ingredients, the cheerful culinary wranglers at Moe's create scrumptious southwestern food for carnivores and vegetarians alike. After perusing the menu, grab tasty tortilla canvases and watch as your edibles are crafted into burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and nachos.
La Fortaleza Mexican Restaurant's menu brims with quality ingredients and salsas made fresh throughout the day. Staff members prepare each appetizer of guacamole at the table, pulverizing the verdant michoacáno avocados, onion, and cilantro in a traditional stone molcajete. Cooks stuff cheeses and the customer's choice of chicken, steak, or shrimp inside a 10-inch flour tortilla before frying the creation to create a golden brown chimichanga, and the arrachera al anafre's flame-kissed skirt steak arrives with a side of tender cactus instead of the customary ficus plant. After sautéing shrimp in onions and butter, chefs douse the camarones a la diabla with a salsa hot enough to make penguins evolve. La Fortaleza Mexican Restaurant's dining room surrounds guests with a kaleidoscope of green, pink, and orange walls that sport Mayan-inspired murals.
El Norte Restaurant's owners use their more than 35 years of experience working at restaurants in Texas and Northern Mexico to create authentic Mexican dishes to their exact specifications. Surrounded by Aztec-inspired paintings and sombreros hung on the walls, diners dig into pork carnitas, enchiladas suizas, and bowls of chopino. Whether bellied up to one of the restaurant's two bars or seated at a table blanketed by a colorful tablecloth, guests enjoy the serenades of a mariachi band or the sound of a live harp player politely ordering a burrito. On weekends, karaoke and DJ-fueled dance sessions take over the restaurant's spare room.
Senorita's Mexican Grill is an upscale Mexican Restaurant in Bloomfield Center. Voted Best Mexican Restaurant by New Jersey Monthly Magazine and AOL's City's Best. Voted best Mexican restaurant in 2011 by Opentable People's choice. Senorita's now boasts a brand new Sports Bar with 60inch LED's and all sports all the time.
Ivan López, head chef and owner of Casa Piquin, dishes up modern Mexican cuisine that fuses techniques he honed in French kitchens with authentic flavors he learned to weave as a chef in Mexico. Ivan ensures the freshness of his vegetables by purchasing them himself before crafting colorful salsas and sautéed fajita bell peppers worthy of being served in an eatery whose name means "House of Peppers." Signature molcajetes—traditional hot lava-rock bowls—cradle marinated and grilled mixed vegetables, meats, and seafood, and traditional dishes are sauced in a choice of five salsas, from a rich, sweet salsa mole made with dried peppers to a piping salsa arbol that lights mouths aflame so molars can lead campfire sing-alongs. Pitchers of sangria cool down mouths, as does flambé-fried ice cream, which is torched tableside.

Everyone was great
There is nothing they can do to improve , there A+ on my list from the manager to her staff.
A bit more professionalism from the one answering the phone and making the reservations would be a big step ahead.
The drop off experience was awful!
I was overcharged for mileage - by about 60 miles. I was not given the FULL info regarding storage unit rental.
nothing, it was a very pleasant experience
All employees do a great job at this location thank you. You get great services there. Thank you.
Was originally texted and told to pick up at location 45 minutes away from my requested pick-up. I called Danville store and they "fixed" it so I could pick up truck where and when I wanted.
Excellent move thanks to uhaul
Jackie Jones an her team are very knowledgeable of the business. A very good U-boat company.She hooked up the trailer an all will be using them again.
Best Crew In Danville
Service was beyond excellent. Just wish it was another location because of confined space. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Staff was knowledgeable, I was in and out with no hassle.
The truck I rented had too much play in the steering.
The service was excellent but the facility is located in a terribly cramped location which is why I gave the location an overall reating of average!
I was very unhappy with the final price of the trailer I rented. Rented for 8 days plus 4 hrs., picked up at 9am Sat morning, dropped of at 3 pm following Sat and was told an additional day was charged. So I was charged for 8 additional hours because I was two hours late at drop off? Does not seem fare.
N/A....very satisfied. Thank you!
my bill online was not what I had to pay. I had to pay more.
I was also charged for an extra day. other than that the trailer performed wonderful, thanks
They need a parking lot for people to leave their cars on a round trip rental.
Absulty the worst experience we have ever had. Not only I will never use uhaul ubox, I will tell anyone that I can reach not to use ubox ever. The saddest survice!!!!!!
I had reservations that were canceled three times prior to this pickup stating that there were no trucks available. On all three reservations, I informed representative of size of truck I needed as well as it was for one-way and would be turned in to Roanoke location. I was quoted a price as well as the distance/miles that it would take.
When I arrived (with no reservation) after calling and asking if 14ft trucks were available, I was told yes, and that she could not guarantee it without a reservation, I told her that was fine because I was coming right away. I arrived in less than 10 minutes. Parking lot was full of available trucks in all sizes. I was told that the 14ft and 17ft were the same prices. I was quoted a higher price than previously on my reservations. Personnel was nice and courteous at this point. After going out and approving the 17 ft truck. We returned inside for me only to be told that 14ft & 17ft trucks were not allowed to be rented out for one-way trips and that it had to be a 20ft truck for one-ways and then jacke the price up an additional $40. I was irate and left. But returned becuase I had no other alternatives. I was told the entire trip was $433 which included an $100 deposit that could be waived if I used credit card.
When I arrived at the Roanoke Uhaul to return the truck I was told that I went over the "alotted" miles and woudl have to pay extra, (was never explained as allotted, was told what the mileage would be), it was placed on my credit card used to initially rent the truck. I have never seen such B.S. in my life! What a RIP OFF! Never again. I would not recommend this company to ANY if they have pickup trucks and friends available to help! You got me this time, but NEVER again!
Thanks to the staff and management, who work under poor weather conditions. They never missed a beat at making my transitions. I appreciate you:)
parking area too small and congested . I was told to move my car not asked across the street? gas needed did not register 7/8 as I was told I have picture any way the rude white male insisted it was I returned the truck full!
worse service I ever used you do need better customer friendly employees . thank you . Kathy Myers
The national U-Haul order service lists other locations in our area that are not providers of all size vehicles. This caused some confusion on our part but the local provider we ended up with was great, but added miles to our trip.
its good the way it is
Excellent customer service when the truck was returned.

DOWAGIAC A man has been sentenced for a robbery ring that targeted Hispanic migrant workers.
Lee Roberts, 23, from Dowagiac, pleaded guilty to larceny and was sentenced to 300 days in jail and four years of probation.
The Herald Palladium reports that Roberts and three others targeted Hispanic men for the robberies because they figured if the men were in the country illegally, they'd be less likely to report the crime to police.
Ashley Maldonado was considered the ring leader of the robbery spree. She was sentenced to three years in prison. Cleo Sims and Joann Stanage received probation and jail terms similar to Roberts'.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- South Bend business owners banded together Friday amid power outages in an attempt to salvage one of the most important reservation weekends of the year.
"This is much bigger than a football weekend," said Kurt Janowsky, an owner at Café Navarre.
Janowsky said his restaurant had about 1,400 reservations between Friday and Sunday.
"It's a huge weekend and not being open wasn't an option," he said.
Café Navarre was one of several restaurants that brought in a back-up generator in an attempt to salvage a weekend's worth of reservations. LaSalle Grill did the same.
"What could have been a disaster on the biggest weekend of the year has been adverted -- at least for some of us that went out and got come generators," said Mark McDonnell, Owner of LaSalle Grill.
McDonnell said the move could save him more than $75,000 in revenue that would have been lost had they remained without power the whole weekend.
Many businesses also lent their resources to their neighbors during this rough patch.
"The Vine's next," Janowsky said. "They're waiting for my electrician to get finished at Woochi and then they'll be over to get The Vine hooked up as well."
Both business owners said they were contacted by other businesses that had escaped the outages asking if they could lend a helping hand.
Concerns about the amount of food and money the outages would cost some downtown restaurants were short-lived.
The president of Stanz Foodservice, Mark Harman, stepped in to help, donating a refrigerator and freezer truck.
It's a gift downtown restaurant owners are grateful for.
"At this point, I'll do anything I can to help anybody," said Harman. "We're a South Bend company, we care about South Bend."
"It was about 7:30-7:45, we got the call that Stanz was sending a semi down to save the restaurants in downtown, and what an incredible relief we felt," said Chicory Café Co-Owner Jeff Morauski.
Stanz Foodservice had to cancel several deliveries and a meeting Friday.
The company plans to keep their truck downtown until all the power comes back on.

On May 14, 2014, the D.C. Court of Appeals rejected an emergency motion by business groups to delay the June 2, 2014 due date for companies to file disclosures about their use of certain minerals tied to armed factions in war-ridden Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC") and neighboring countries. This requirement, proposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in 2012 under the Dodd-Frank Act, requires companies to investigate whether they use such "conflict minerals," including gold, tin, tantalum, and tungsten, in their products and to issue public reports identifying their findings.
The motion to stay the rule, filed on April 29, 2014 by the National Association of Manufacturers, Business Roundtable, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (the "Appellants"), asked the Court to stay the rule or at least the filing deadline following the Court's April 14, 2014 decision in which the Court found that the rule unconstitutionally compelled speech in requiring companies to disclose to the SEC and on their website that their products are not "DRC conflict free." The rest of the rule was upheld.
Following the Court's decision, Keith Higgins, director of the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance, issued a statement saying that companies will still need to file their first reports by the June 2 due date and address those portions of the rule that the court upheld. In this regard, Mr. Higgins noted that while companies would not be required to identify their products as "DRC conflict-free," "DRC conflict undeterminable" or "not found to be 'DRC conflict free,'" they should disclose, for those products, "the facilities used to produce the conflict minerals, the country of origin of the minerals and the efforts to determine the mine or location of origin."
In an emergency motion to stay the rule, the Appellants argued that the unconstitutional portion of the rule cannot be severed from the rest of the rule, stating, "The rule's compelled confessions, which have been declared unconstitutional, constitute the entire basis for the rule, imposing astronomical costs on affected companies." As such, the Appellants asserted that a stay would avoid "forcing companies to implement interim procedures for filing truncated reports under unilateral staff guidance that is subject to change at any time."
In a brief per curiam order that did not detail its reasoning, the Court rejected the Appellants' arguments and denied the emergency motion to stay. As a result, public companies that manufacture (or contract to manufacture) products containing conflict minerals that are necessary to a product's functionality or production processes are still required to file a Form SD "Specialized Disclosure Report" and, in certain circumstances a Conflict Minerals Report, by the June 2nd deadline.
