While gathering up every photograph, newspaper clipping, flyer and more from my garage for the 22 year anniversary issue of Pure Fun Skate Zine, it was hard to ignore a VHS tape that had "Eric On News" written on it. During the mid/late 1980s skateboard boom, skateboarding was reaching every suburb across the country and [...]

A bit of a back story on this thing…
When the Mouthpiece discography was getting to close to going into production I wasn't working there but I pitched the idea to Jordan that we should film the production process and make a web clip out of it. He was into the idea and he agreed that [...]

I recently discovered on old VHS tape containing footage from the old Endless Summer Skate Shop in Williamsville, NY. Endless Summer was my favorite place and the owners Mike and Jim were always the coolest guys. I couldn't help but get this footage online for old patrons of the store to enjoy and reminisce. Enjoy.
Back in the summer of 2007 I found myself out on the Warped Tour with Mike V and his band, Revolution Mother. It was a pretty wild summer. Lots of fun but definitely a grind too. Somewhere along the tour I caught word that two filmers were going to hook up with us for the [...]

A couple of years back when the video for "Radio Nowhere" from Bruce Springsteen's album "Magic" was released, it was a real bummer.

Captain Chris Fritton navigates Lockview V on the Erie Canal, through Locks 34 and 35 and many lift bridges in Lockport, NY.

Much remains the same on the Erie Canal today as it was in the 1800's. Hand-dug to connect the Hudson River with the Niagara River, the 363-mile Grand Old Erie Canal is truly a great engineering feat. Originally, 83 stone locks overcame the 571-foot difference in the level between the rivers. Enlarged in the early [...]

I was lucky enough to snag a copy [...]
I've been digging through boxes and trying to organize and condense my belongings and just came across an unlabeled VHS tape. I popped it in and quickly found out it was some old footage of me skateboarding.
This footage is from a late summer, early fall day in 1990 and it was filmed by my MOM. [...]
For some reason or another I decided to drag my parents video camera to a few local hardcore shows in the summer of 1992. One such show was an all local band Saturday matinee at the Scrapyard on Main Street in Buffalo. The bill was Nothing, Childish Intent, Crop Dogs, Slugfest and Against All Hope.

I just edited and uploaded this quick little film starring my good friend Chris Fritton. The footage was filmed in 2003 but never ended up being used for what it was originally intended for so I made this webclip out of it. Sorry this took so long Chris.
Filmed on video and 16mm film.
Here is a short video I made as a school project for my Participation In Government class three months into my senior year of high school in 1991. We were allowed to pick our own topic so of course I chose skateboarding.
If I wasn't riding my skateboard, then I was watching a skateboard video and [...]

At one of the two shows that weekend, Ed tripped while running across the stage to attempt a stage dive. Hilarity ensued and this video [...]
This is the retrospective slideshow that played before Snapcase's final show on January 22, 2005 at the Sphere in Buffalo, NY.
This has never been seen unless you were at that final show and if you (want to) look closely you might see my ugly mug a few times.
I was lucky enough to snag a copy of the slideshow after the show and this was uploaded with the bands permission. Shout out to Pumice T for putting this together.
The song is Svefn-G-Englar by Sigur Ros.
Have you heard anything at all about Snapcase putting that final Sphere show out on DVD? I talked to John Salemi at some other band's show about 2 years ago and he said they were trying to put together a DVD with that final show and some other retrospective stuff. I was at the final show. Awesome. Awesome how old band members played. Any info would be appreciated. Later.
Yes, I believe they are still working on it.

Lip Gloss Quad
If you love Cargo's classic tin-packaged Lip Gloss Duo, you'll also appreciate having four shades in one tin.
Essential Eyeshadow Palette
Each shade is a pleasure to blend and applies softly, yet is buildable for those who desire more intensity.
Add to Faves?
Cargo At-a-Glance
Strengths: Some good foundations; excellent lip glosses; several bronzing options; great eyeshadow sets (though not every color combination is recommended); some high-performance mascaras; the liquid eyeliner; a handful of innovative products that nicely distinguish Cargo from other makeup lines.
Weaknesses: A few otherwise good products are marred by an abundance of fragrance; no foundations with sunscreen; limited selection of brushes; the Blu-Ray concealer isn't worth the money; standard to below-standard pencils and lipstick; several items are overpriced for what you get.
Canada-based Cargo is a makeup line founded a little more than 10 years ago by a woman whose mission was to create a professional color line that would appeal equally to makeup artists and everyday women. Apparently, the dozens of product lines that existed just weren't good enough—obviously, she hadn't seen Stila, MAC, Laura Mercier, Trish McEvoy, Quo, Bobby Brown, or Nars, and on and on. Cargo hit the beauty scene with a blend of celebrity fanfare and panache that has become the standard for any new cosmetic brand that wants to grab attention and have the press write about them.
Celebrity gossip and fashion magazine write-ups aside (believe me, their recommendations aren't objective in the least, they love everything; have you ever read or heard a celebrity or a fashion magazine say that a makeup or skin-care product or brand is really awful?), there are plenty of reasons to consider Cargo an option when looking for a new makeup look or just to replenish your current supply. What Cargo doesn't do, however, is distinguish itself in any significant way to indicate you should abandon your favorite Stila, Laura Mercier, M.A.C., Revlon, L'Oreal, Rimmel, or [insert-your-favorite-makeup-line-here] products, although in some cases, you may indeed be tempted.
Several independent beauty stores retail the Cargo brand and you may be wondering what does Cargo do really well? This is definitely a line to shop if you're a fan of bronzers and lip gloss. They also have some reliable foundation choices, improved eyeshadow palettes, and a handful of innovative products worth your attention, assuming you're OK with Cargo's higher price point. (In that regard, this is a line to shop with caution because many of the items aren't worth the splurge.) It's admirable that Cargo donates a portion of lipstick sales to St. Jude's Children's Hospital, but, unfortunately, the lipsticks have one of the greasiest formulas you're likely to find.
What Cargo lacks are foundations with sunscreen, and their one liquid foundation is overloaded with potentially irritating fragrance chemicals. This is also not the line to look to if you're shopping for matte blush or eyeshadows. All manner of shine dominates, though this is typical of many makeup lines; so, if anything, Cargo is just following the herd. Another disappointment is that Cargo initially offered an impressive range of brushes, but that range has now been whittled down to only a few.
Advertising is where Cargo really falls off the wagon and joins most of the other cosmetic companies, bragging about what several of their products do not contain, such as paraben preservatives. The insanity is that although they in some cases push the claim that the product does not contain parabens, at least one-third of the line's formulas still do contain parabens. We don't get the rationale behind emphasizing that something is allegedly bad (and due to media hype lots of consumers are wary of products with these allegedly evil ingredients), and then at the same time continuing to include it in many of your products. Parabens are not the terrible ingredients they're made out to be; and it's clear that Cargo doesn't really think so either or they wouldn't keep selling products preserved with parabens! we mean, really!

Breakfast #15: Vietnamese Coffee
Coffee is the fuel that powers me. It is such an integral part of me that I can't see my life without it. I love it with my every cell and molecule. If you drew my blood you would see that it is 50% coffee (the other 50% being bacon…I know, I know, I live on the edge…but it's the secret to my success I swear it!). And although caffeine is a stimulant, coffee actually soothes and calms me.
I drink coffee at any time of day. I can drink it after dinner and fall right to sleep. But the very best time for me of course is in the morning…when it signals, for me, the beginning of a new day. For years now I have been brewing my own every morning, the ritual of it eventually becoming as meaningful as the coffee itself -- the few minutes of quiet that is absolutely mine, the sound of the coffee gurgling its way out of the maker, the smell of it that envelopes me and tells me to wake up…
…and all the cool paraphernalia that you get to use!
My regular morning ration is a double shot made with my espresso maker (just an old mini Krups…although I really long for this one…sigh), which I take in a tall glass of steamed/frothed milk. I have stealthily observed my neighborhood baristas and I try to replicate their swift maneuvers with my little Krups. I also have a drip coffeemaker for when I have a big group over, and a small French press for when I'm feeling, mmm, French. My next project is getting myself a stovetop espresso maker so I can get all nostalgic about my morning coffees in Spain. Meanwhile, on other coffee fronts, my favorite cup and saucer set was a wedding gift – white porcelain cups with pewter handles and saucers. My latest cup acquisition came from my mum-in-law – tiny ivory demitasse cups from Germany.
This is why I never begrudge the big boys their toys…you see, I have mine too.
And now this charming Vietnamese coffee filter…I am completely smitten! I actually got this a while back. My best friend K brought it back for me from a trip to Vietnam, complete with a bag of Vietnamese coffee. What is the value of a best friend who knows what you like? Priceless!
As is the Vietnamese way, I placed a generous amount of sweetened condensed milk in a glass, spooned some of the Vietnamese coffee grounds into the filter, and poured in some hot water. After waiting for a respectable amount of coffee to drip down into the waiting pool of condensed milk, I took off the filter, stirred, and enjoyed. A little non-Vietnamese thing I do: Don't stir all the condensed milk, so after you are done with your coffee, you have some sticky, mocha-flavored condensed milk to slurp!
What gets you going in the morning? :)
Postscript: In making my pizza for HHDD, I had to buy some semolina for sprinkling. The smallest bag in the shop was 1 kilo. So 1 kilo minus some sprinkling leaves me with a whole lotta semolina. If you have any recipes using semolina, and I do mean any, please pass them along! You can email me at eighty_breakfasts(AT)yahoo(DOT)com. Thank you!

Haha, I can drink a tub of coffee and fall asleep right afterwards as well. When I was still working I would start with 2 cups of coffee that I'd brew at home, then after lunch I'd use a coffee press to make myself 2 more cups at my desk in the office, I'd head over to Starbucks in the early afternoon or late evening for a Grande-sized specialty drink, and if I had dinner out I'd end the meal with a frothy cappuccino.
From the looks of it ... Vietnamese coffee filters work like simple drip coffee makers? - 7:46 PM

I love vietnamese coffee...but it does not love me...I get all jittery after I drink it but I don't care ....it's yummy!

I have a stovetop espresso maker, actually I have a few. I was given two by my grandmother's friend when I was a teenager and didn't have a clue what they were or what to do with them. She told me (wisely) that one day I'd grow to appreciate a fine cup of coffee and that I'd love them. They're nearly 20 years old to me. I think she'd had them for a number of years before that.
My friends love my coffee, even those who have posh ones like the FrancisFrancis you mention. I love mine so much I refused the offer from my Mum to buy us a posh one for Christmas. After school drop off I get home and have a little routine of putting a pot on, warming some milk and then drinking a few delicious cups of coffee.
Sorry for such a long comment you just touched on something. - 10:12 PM

Condensed milk sounds very good with coffee. Ive never tried that! I assume the sweetned variety?
- Burnt Lumpia said...
Ah Joey, I am very much like you. I can drink coffee at night at still fall asleep. And I'm sipping my morning coffee right this instant as I type. The only difference though is that half my blood is coffee, and the other half is beer. But bacon would be good too;)
- Suzana said...
Oh dear. Coffee. Hi. My name is Suzana...and I am a coffee addict. I can't live without coffee!
The big hype around Europe atm is Nespresso. It really gets you some good coffee but I'm still holding to my built-in espresso maker - mostly because it's part of my kitchen cabinets and it was VERY expensive.
I'm afraid I never had Vietnamese but it sounds good. - 12:19 AM
- P said...
OMG I'm enjoying the very same thing these days, thanks to Socky. She also brought me a bag of Vietnamese Moka coffee. It is chocolatey, but it's probably just the varietal, and not infused with chocolate. Who knows? But it is vanderful, and we are on our search for a Vietnamese coffee supplier here in Toronto.
- Katrina said...
Vietnamese and Thai coffee are YUMMY! Oh, how I MISS being able to drink all the coffee I want! Back in college, I'd drink a tall thermos (about 4-5 cups) of coffee while studying, then sleep straightaway when I was done. But several years ago, I had to limit my intake by afternoon or I'd have trouble by bedtime. Now that I wake up so late every day, just one cup can keep me up till sunrise! It's a good thing the coffee shop chains all have decaf versions, but when I have dinner in a restaurant that doesn't, I usually have to watch and smell my companions' cups in envy.
- Pille said...
I'm so happy for you, Joey! Your coffee reminds me of the Vietnamese coffee ice cream I made couple of times last summer. And as for semolina recipes - well, there are some on my blog, both for cakes and puddings. Not sure if it's exactly the same type of semolina flour..
- Jen Tan said...
OMG joey! I could have written or have already wrtten this post!!! =) I ABSOLUTELY share the same sentiments with you over this dark liquid love of ours! hay I have a real relationship with coffee..like you I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!!! I am fortunate enough to have all the contraptions you mentioned but sad to say...parted with my stove top bialetti and 2nd espresso maker =(
I too have this Vietnamese contraption (from a vacation there)and I think Viet style coffe is one of my favorite if not what I think is the best! hahaha
Love...love this post! Love..love coffee =) YEY...I AM NOT ALONE! hahahaha - 10:01 AM
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Wysgal! Another coffee drinker! When I was working in Helsinki (my first project abroad and with crazy hours) I measured my coffee intake in pots brewed and not cups -- it was like my IV! Yes, I think they basically work like a drip...except cuter :)
Hi Veron! Aw! It is good though, isn't it? :) I think once in a while as a special treat won't be too bad ;)
Hi Amanda! I'm glad this post touched you...I really like the stovetop espresso maker too, reminds me of Spain! I am going to get one soon :) My cousin also swears by it, that it makes the best coffee. Thanks for sharing your coffee routine...loved hearing about it!
Hi Glamah16! Yes, the sweetened variety...it's gooood...milk and sugar in one :)
Hi Marvin! I too am sipping my morning coffee as I type (and had a coffee afer dinner last night)...enjoying reading about all your coffee experiences :) Ah, mythical beer-blood...so it does exist!
Hi Suzana!!! Hehe :) I have seen and heard a lot about Nespresso...I think I may have seen it here too...a stovetop is more attainable for me though :)
Hi P! I agree...it tastes great! Lucky us huh? :) Hope you find a good supplier over there! I have no idea where to fine one over here...but I hope to make it to Vietnam this year so we'll see :)
Hi Katrina! I used to drink tons of coffee before, by the pot! Now I just make them by the cup, or TALL glass, but I still manage to get a lot in :) I remember when I was working abroad, I manage to always keep my cool no matter what stresses came my way...until the day I broke the coffee pot. Hello Linda Blair.
Thanks Pille! :) That ice cream sounds fantastic! Thanks for the heads up...I'm going to check out all your semolina recipes!
Hi Jen! So happy you enjoyed this post...happier still to find another fellow coffee-lover :) You are certainly not alone! GO coffee, YAY!!! What happened to your Bialetti?? I'm thinking of getting one... - 11:15 AM
- SteamyKitchen said...
I love V-coffee...but ohsofattening!
- Jen Tan said...
well, i this this beautiful stove top bialetti from the defunct bacchus...i was loving it so much...i decided to bring it to the office...when I was brewing my espresso that day...i got a phone call so went back to my table..took the call...went back to work on my pc...and OMG!!! I forgot about my bialetti on the stove!!! when I got to it it was horrible...handles molten..body charred...I cried =( worst of all..I was to blame...
- Jen Tan said...
but you should get one joey..i makes a ligther espresso than machine but its fun to use..just always keep an eye on it. i think they have electric version of it..
let me know if you do get one =) you know what's missing frommy collection? A siphon coffee contraption! hahaha - 12:52 PM
- Franco said...
Welcome to the Vietnamese Milk Coffee Club, Joey.
I'm now a coffee addict because of it. :) Personally, I love the process of making it, just as much as the taste.
Btw, I made a Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream a while back. YUMMY!!! I not sure why but the coffee flavor is even more intense in ice cream form. Must be the cream... - 1:00 PM
- Rosa's Yummy Yums said...
An interesting way of making coffee! It must taste delicious...

Oh I love me my Vietnamese cup of coffee too!! How nice that you have your own drip at home, K is truly a gem! :) I grew up with a profound love of condensed milk so I knew the first time I'd try Vietnamese drip coffee I'd fall over head over heels, and I did! So when I was in Hanoi I had as much of it as I could.
There was a French-Vietnamese place at the Blue Wave mall (near MOA) that served a fantastic cup as well, think it was called Vienne Cu Chi or something like that but it's been closed down :(. I don't know what I would have done without my stovetop espresso maker in London. I still use it now when I'm just making for myself at home (which I only get to do on weekends now since I have my fill in the office). But I've cut down to one cup in the office and the rest of the day is tea. Then if I have dinner out, sometimes I treat myself to another cup. It's all the more satisfying then! :) Ahh! I just remember your "incident" with my espresso maker in London haha. - 5:20 PM
- Nabeela said...
you can make upma with the leftover semolina.....or basboosa.
P.S: I don't have the recipes for it but try searching on blogs through google - 5:38 PM
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Jaden! So true...but I'm not counting calories this year (my new year's resolution) :)
Oh Jen! I wanted to cry too as I read your tale, partly because I can relate (I broke my old coffee pot and almost had a nervous breakdown) and partly because you are a great story-teller :) Will let you know if I do get one!
Hi Franco! I love coffee -- taste and process :) The ritual of food is also an important factor in the whole taste process don't you think? And why, oh why, does it always come back down to the ice cream maker???
Hi Rosa! It is! And nice to watch as well :)
Hi Nens! "I grew up with a profound love of condensed milk" -- I hear you loud and clear! I love the stuff! I know that place in Blue Wave -- never been but C has mentioned it :) I have tried to drink more tea...but what has happened is that now I drink coffee and tea! Siiigh...I miss our London adventures!
Thanks Nabeela! I will google those recipes too :) - 7:51 PM
- Rasa Malaysia said...
Ooooh, I love this kind of Vietnamese coffee...so strong and so good, but it's hard to wait for them to drip slowly...;)
- mtan said...
My mom was my coffee pusher when we were younger, and she'd always use condensed milk in lieu of milk/sugar (her way of thinking, it's two in one!). Nowadays, when I have the deep urge for coffee with condensada, I go to Tommy's stall in Salcedo and have it there.
Can't drink as much coffee these days, but I love the smell, the taste, the ice cream versions (Franco, post about the Vietnamese coffee ice cream!!!), the candies, the cakes. What a little bean can do to us all. - 9:55 PM
- Bordeaux said...
Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. I have a freshly brewed cup at home and then stop for a real Thai iced coffee on the way to work. Sadly I had to give up my late afternoon cup recently, as I was turning into an unhappy insomniac.
Kudos to your friend for the Vietnamese drip. We enjoyed those in HCMC, but unfortunately we never bought some before we left for Bangkok. We're heading to Hanoi in March though and this time I will certainly be picking some up. - 12:09 AM
Hi Joey, you were right on the spot. I too, have the uncanny ability to sleep soundly despite three espresso shots before hitting the sheets. I'm beginning to think it was some sort of a mutant ability until you wrote about it. Now the French press, in the humble opinion of this nomadic bachelor, is still the best way to make coffee, although I admit that fancy retro espresso maker, would make a real good kitchen bling. :)
- Big Boys Oven said...
I adore this vietnamese coffee, strong and pleasent.
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Bee! I agree...I'm usually bouncing in my seat wait for the coffee to be done...it doesn't help my patience seeing the yummy coffee splatter on the condensed milk or smelling its heavenly aroma!
Hi M! My granmda was our pusher :) She gave us sweet, milky, decaf versions...I loved the taste even then. like I Tommy's too :) We are all slaves to the bean!
Hello Bordeaux! Lucky you to be able to grab a real Thai coffee on your way to work! Hope you can get some of these filters when you go to Hanoi...they make great coffee and are great to whip out for company too :)
Hi Zeph! Glad to know that I'm not a nutant either, hehe :) Yes, I have always read that really coffee tasters use a French press...they are definitely great to have and easy to use to boot! I found the retro espresso machine here...oh no...there goes the wallet! Bling is right! :)
Hi Big Boys Oven! Thanks for popping in :) I like it too...when it comes to coffee, I like things on the bold side :) - 1:23 PM
- Jen Tan said...
hey joey! thanks for the sympathy and for the compliment =)reading all the comments here really makes me happy...so many people like us enamored with the brew...and desensitized by its powers...
maybe we should start a coffee cult? hahahaha ;P
Coffee at breakfast...a splendid thing! Can have coffee without brekkie but NEVER brekkie without coffee!!! hahahaa
Hey Bordeaux! Grab some Trung Ngyuyen coffee too...pabili!!! HAHAHAH =) - 2:35 PM
- Gourmet Traveller said...
Hi Joey, I LOVE coffee as well and my favorite is illy double espresso (illy pods made with my Francis!Francis! espresso machine) and milk frothed using my Nespresso Aeroccino. You should get one of these - it makes frothing milk so easy. Somedays, I use my Bialetti stovetop when I feel like having lots of coffee in big cups. Do you want me to get you a stovetop from here?
your food shots are very beautiful! what camera do you use? :)
- ChichaJo said...
Hey Jen! Hahaha! Yes, great to see so many people in love with this special brew :) As for brekkie...I'm have some coffee right now!
Hi GT! Illy on your Francis!Francis! I die a million envious deaths! Heehee :) Thanks for the sweet offer but we have stovetop brewers here so no need to lug that bulky thing on my account...hey, when are you coming? Can you sneak Doodsie and Natalie in your maleta? Hehehe...
Hi Anon! Thank you! :) I use a Fuji Finepix S1 Pro with a Nikon 28-70 mm lens :) - 10:25 AM
- Dhanggit said...
i did bought a coffee filter when i was in vietnam for a vacation..we still use them in preparing coffee at home..although im not really a coffee person..i love to sniff them as i prepare for other people..hehehe ..what gets me going in the morning is a bowl of cold chocolate milk!!
ps, i think i have some semolina recipes i could pass on to you :-) - 5:20 PM
- Gourmet Traveller said...
Keeping my fingers crossed for a visit in July or August. Trying to convince Rosanne to meet me in Manila. Have you seen recent photos of Natalie? She is adorable!
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Dhanggit! Cold chocolate milk is always yummy :) Yes, please pass anything semolina on to me! Can you email me? Are they on your blog? :) I'll check now :)
Hi GT! I saw the Christmas calendar photos...*gigil*! Yes, please convince her to come...we miss her! - 1:31 PM

I love my Vietnamese Coffee Filters! I even use them for dessertsand they make great conversation items at the table. I can drink it all day long...
- Barbara said...
I love this coffee too. There is a restaurant here that serves it and I have a photo exactly like yours. I'd get really fat if I kept condensed milk in my cupboard as I would eat it by the spoonful while I'm waiting for the coffee to brew.
- eydie said...
OMG! All that coffee talk was intoxicating.....I'm dizzy with desire! I have never had vietnamese coffee, but I am thinking about it now.....my favorite so far is French Press at home......
- Arfi Binsted said...
it is similar to indonesian way making coffee. very very similar!! lovely to see another culture from another country.
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Mansi Desai! It's really luscious what with the sweetened condensed milk and the Vietnamese coffee itself being very rich and almost chocolate-y :) Thanks for the heads up on the semolina recipe...will check out your blog for it!
Hi Helene! That dessert sounds divine! Hmmm...now if only I had an ice cream maker :)
Hi Barbara! We are the same because I also take spoonfuls of the condensed milk as I watch the coffee drip! Yikes! :)
Hi Eydie! French press I think is what retains the truest flavor...I have one too :)
Hi Arfi! One of the things I love about blogging is learning about the different cuisines and cultures...and the surprising similarities we all have! :) - 12:10 PM
- Mahek said...
i love coffe as much as you and have a great liking for coffee pots
you have clicked yours so well is the upper portion the coffee filter does it have a lower portion too.
In southern india coffee is the main drink and they make decoction with ground coffee with a filter.
thanks for your write up - 12:55 PM
- Julie said...
This is my first visit to your blog (from a link on Food Blogga), and it's great! I loved reading this post because I was in Vietnam last year and adored the sweet, milky coffee. I need to vary my coffee paraphenelia so I can recreate it!
Julie - 12:51 AM
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Mahek! Nice to know we have something in common :) This is basically just a filter that you put over any glass or cup were you are going to drink your coffee :)
Hi Julie! Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment :) The variety makes me enjoy coffee even more! I have never been to Vietnam but that will soon change as I have a trip to Hanoi planned! Any tips? :) - 1:08 AM
- White On Rice Couple said...
You love Viet coffee! You rock! We love ya already.
Viet coffee is a staple for us too, especially when it's created just the way you taught. Great job! - 9:16 AM
- ChichaJo said...
Hello White on Rice Couple! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a nice comment :) You guys have a great site...and now I'm going to go get some Vietnamese recipes there! :)
personally..I like a double cubano espresso with a little half and half...I know, I know, coming from someone who works at a little chain of cafes called The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, I shouldn't really be talking about coffee since we're corporate run...but I am a coffee lover...and this is one way I adore it...if you don't know what cubano style espresso is, put a little brown sugar or raw sugar in the middle of your espresso grounds when you're setting up a shot...when the water runs through the bayonet, it will melt/partially caramelize the sugar and mingle it with the espresso while it brews, resulting in a sweet, slightly smoky taste to the espresso...which is utterly different than if you just simply stirred in the sugar... :)
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Heck! Thanks for dropping by and for the great tip! You can be sure I'll be trying this out the next time I brew a cup :)
Hi! I love Vietnamese coffee, too, although I've never made any at home. I came across your post in my vain search for a source for Vietnamese coffee presses in Metro Manila. My mom-in-law just came from Vietnam and brought home some Vietnamese coffee for me and I am desperate to make some for myself. Would you know where I can purchase one? Do you think a French press would work? (I know purists are probably shuddering, but I am desperate!) Thanks!
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Pia! I haven't seen the Vietnamese coffee filters here but a coffee press should work I think...it is still coffee after all and if we've got no choice then we have to make do right :) But if you find any drip contraption that you place over your cup it think those should work in the same way...
Thanks for the quick reply. I was in Rustan's last night, just trying my luck. All they had were French presses, which I already have. I'll try that out tomorrow. I also saw one contraption in Starbucks (filter on top of a Starbucks mug), but I'm going to try my luck with the French press first. Thanks, again!
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Pia! You are most welcome! Wish I could be more help...

REVIEW: Grudge Match
I am so so sick of these let's-make-fun-of-aging stories. It's demeaning. Sly Stallone is making a second career as a self-deprecating geezer. It's , excuse the pun, getting old. And trite. Star billing like this with Robert DeNiro deserves better material. It's embarrassing.
Nice to see Kim Basinger working again. She's the only one of the three stars with self-respect . Oh- and that's Kim and Alec Baldwin's model-daughter,
You can k.o. this one on arrival.

Ski jumper Sarah Hendrickson hoping to keep flying after knee surgery
Park City •Â Ski jumper Sarah Hendrickson may well be the face of her sport, after winning the inaugural World Cup championship last season and establishing herself as a gold-medal favorite at the 2014 Sochi Olympics in Russia.
But she isn't quite sure about this year, yet.
Not even a week after graduating high school, the high-flying 18-year-old from Park City opens the new World Cup season on Friday in Lillehammer, Norway, uncertain about her prospects after knee surgery last spring. Turns out, Hendrickson claimed her astonishing nine victories in 13 competitions last year while coping with cartilage damage that had been diagnosed before the season.
"I'd love to be on the podium again," she said. "But I just have to show up and I have to remember that I'm still technically recovering from this injury. ⦠So I'm kind of in the dark about that. I just have to go out and jump for me. There's going to be a lot of pressure there, but I just have to remember why I love this sport so much and do what I do."
Hendrickson will be joined on the World Cup circuit by fellow Park City natives Lindsey Van the former world champion and Jessica Jerome, comprising a trio that coach Alan Alborn said was "looking stronger than ever as a group" in the gym over the summer.
"Sarah can definitely fight again for the overall title," coach Paolo Bernardi said, "but the main focus is to keep her healthy and the main goal is being in top shape" later in the season.
Indeed, both Hendrickson and Van are returning from offseason surgeries, so questions are sure to abound unless and until the jumpers look like their old selves again.
"It's kind of hard to set certain goals," Hendrickson said. "A lot of people expect me to repeat what I did last year, but I was jumping on a high level for myself ... so it's definitely going to be not an easy feat doing that."
Especially after having microfracture surgery in April.
That's a procedure that involves drilling tiny holes in the bone of the knee to stimulate the growth of new cartilage, and its recovery typically takes about six months. Hendrickson put off the surgery from last year, because she did not want to disrupt what turned out to be a championship season.
So, according to the calendar, Hendrickson should be just about healed. And she feels pretty good.
But is she 100 percent?
"I can finally say Sarah is back," Bernardi said.
Hendrickson was not so certain. "I don't really know," she said. "Obviously, I'm confident and I want to be confident. But I need to know that it's not going to be an easy season."
Hendrickson said she's trying not to worry much about results, especially early in the season. Many of the other jumpers have been training all summer and fall, while she was stuck in the gym rehabbing and did not start jumping again until September.
Her top rivals figure to include Austria's Daniela Iraschko, the first woman to jump over 200 meters who nevertheless finished a distant second in the World Cup standings last season, and 16-year-old Sara Takanashi of Japan, who was third.
Van could pose a serious threat, too, having won the 2009 world title while spearheading the battle to get women's ski jumping into the Olympics.
The world championships are a focus for Hendrickson this year  they're scheduled Feb. 20 to March 3 in Val di Fiemme, Italy mostly because she has never performed well at them. She was 29th as a 14-year-old when Van won in the Czech Republic, and just 19th two years ago in Norway, when her mother and grandmother traveled to watch her compete.
"When it comes down to it, though," she said, "I just have to focus on my jumping and hopefully the results will come."

Hi Tim,
I am writing to you today as I have a little issue. At the present time we are on oracle 10g R2 EE and so when I perform SQL tuning I use the packs we are licensed for, SQL Tuning Adviser and the results are usually good.
But we are going to migrate our databases to 11G R2 Standard Edition within a couple of months. The main reasons are financial reasons and the fact that we don't use any options of Oracle like partitioning and so on. Also in 11g R2 like in 10g R2 RAC is free, also another big reason.
My question is simple. Now I have the packs to help me tune some queries when they are performance issues, and I am very happy with them. But what could I use in 11g R2 SE that won't make us break our Oracle license and that will keep us in line with what we are licensed for (which means nothing)? I know that i can use hints in some queries, but what else? Are there some tools that can be used either in SE and EE and that could help in performance tuning?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

The engine may overheat due to erratic engine cooling fan operation as a result of a faulty cooling fan control module. Replacement of the fan control module would be necessary to correct this condition. Our technicians tell us the Mazda may provide assistance with the cost of this repair.
2006 Mazda Mazda6 Problem Reports
Most Reported 2006 Mazda Mazda6 Problem Reports
A loud ticking noise (hydraulic valve lifter noise) may be heard from the top of the engine, particularly when the engine is still cold. The noise may occur more frequently on higher mileage vehicles; Hydraulic valve lash adjusters may need to be replaced to correct this issue. Following the maintenance schedule for oil changes will also help prevent a recurrence of the noise.
Some models may have a problem with stalling under light acceleration. Updated software for the powertrain control module (PCM) is available which may help with this concern.
Mazda just replaced my transmission under warranty due to it slipping from 1st to 2nd gear
Mazda issued an emissions recall due to a problem with the Swirl Shutter Valve; this would cause the Check Engine light to illuminate.

Notes: The authors selected repetitive elements in the human genome using a novel technique: GREM. T4 DNA Ligase was used to ligate adapters to digested genomic DNA prior to PCR, and exonuclease III was used to generate the necessary 5´ termini. After the final amplification, the PCR products were cloned into the pGEM®-T Vector, then sequenced. (3550)

Notes: To purify stolbur phytoplasma DNA from total DNA of infected periwinkle plants, two rounds of suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) were performed, followed by amplification with Taq DNA polymerase. The resultant PCR products (1µl) were ligated into 50ng of pGEM®-T Easy Vector using 3 units T4 DNA Ligase. After transformation of DH10B cells, ampicillin-resistant colonies were grown and the plasmids purified using the Wizard® Plus SV Minipreps DNA Purification System. The insert lengths were estimated after EcoR I digestion and agarose gel electrophoresis prior to amplification and labeling with digoxigenin. These probes were used for dot hybridization with denatured healthy or infected plant DNA (10µg) and the corresponding plasmid as a positive control (100 ng). (3436)

Notes: The authors investigated expression of BRCA1 from alternative transcripts possessing different 5' UTRs. RT-PCR using Promega's AMV reverse transcriptase was performed to generate cDNAs from total RNA isolated from human tissue. Promega's Taq DNA Polymerase was used for the PCR reaction. The authors also prepared two mRNAs that contained one or the other of the 2 alternative 5' UTRs (ex1a or ex1b) fused with the luciferase coding region. To generate the corresponding DNA for these constructs, the luciferase coding region was amplified from Promega's pGEM vector and ligated to PCR amplified ex1a or exlb. These ligation products served as the template amplifying two cDNA constructs (exla-luc or ex1b-luc).Ten additional cDNAs were made containing a variety of changes to the 5'UTR region of BRCA1. In vitro translation experiments were performed to determine how the composition of the 5'UTR affected protein expression levels (using Promega's RNasin to protect transcribed mRNA; T7 polymerase buffer; and rabbit reticulocyte and wheat germ extracts for translation). The authors conclude that secondary structures associated with elements in the longer 5'UTR reduced translation rates and could be responsible for the reduced expression of BRCA1 often associated with spontaneous ovarian and breast cancers.

Interesting. Who is the instructor? Background info?
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jerich...43788025661698Jericho Airsoft
[LEFT][*******#000000][FONT=lucida grande]Our Jericho Airsoft 2011 bootcamp will have a real Marine Corps MOUT instructor, teaching airsofters real military tactics used by the marine corps.[/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT]
I think that there should be more and more of these types of events!
Having active duty or retired guys teaching airsofters the bases of combat, and also putting some sense into the "odd ones" can only be a good thing for this hobby/sport however you wanna call it.
Interesting. Who is the instructor? Background info?
sorry, i don't have any infos on it.
I do know that there are quite a few Marines from all kind of MOS, grunts, arty, MPs, that play there regularly and a few Soldiers and Sailors as well.
They had an Army fire team come and demonstrate room clearing techniques before, but this should be better.
if you are interest i'd say contact the field owner directly, you might even know some of the guys or their companies...
Rick Lowe (805) 807-6850
I don't know if to applaud the idea or make jokes about it.
I see a point in studying military tactics for airsoft games but to me it's just that: A game. I'm afraid with a real DI dropping by it'll be just a gathering of kids who think they gonna get OMFG11!!D3lTA by just listening to that guy.
Ill teach a class free of charge, Ill teach you every tactic we use with a nice and juicy 850 page ppt followed by a 1hr safety brief on how to safely conduct these tactics. Pms are welcome you supply the training grounds and equipment ill bring the projector.
Ill be hosting classes soon. certified firearms/tactics instructor. $700.00 for a ten hour OMFG11!!D3lTA class. Bring cash.
Bring your reflective safety belts.
i get the sarcasm but why are you guys so against it?
i think the idea is more about teaching the basics than trying to be spec ops...
i may be wrong, as i said i don't know who is running the show, but i do know some of the guys that work there and they are all pretty down to earth easy going dudes.
is it really that bad if somebody is willing to show civilians of all ages, kids and adults, how to properly move and fight in an urban environment?
850 slide powerpoint...
I think I'll stick to what I already know.
and magpul make you pay?
and you pay how much for your kit?
and your going to to go to a guy who has a facebook page and pay him how much to learn about tactics ? (probably a quite high price)
no disrespect but the phrase "if you pay, you will be mugged off" springs to mind.
the reason that all these things ie magpul and the dudes who run those "bootcamps" exist, is because you will pay.
have you done a background check on them? how can you?
is his/their experience/credentials what they say it is or has it been "Soouped up" so as to be more appealing.
"is it really that bad if somebody is willing to show civilians of all ages, kids and adults, how to properly move and fight in an urban environment?"
err, yes...because you dont need to know the latest TTP's...because its on a need to know basis and you dont need to know.
Boot camp for airsofters??

A derogatory for a person of african or african american decent. BUT it could also mean a generally lazy person. This term came to be when you think of african americans sitting on there porch chatting it up. Also in the movie Clerks II, the sequal to Clerks, Randal tries to reclaim it as a new term for lazy people. And thus offends several customers and his boss.

A person, of African descent, usually found in the Southern states of the United States. Porch Monkeys were commonly found sitting on their porches doing little or nothing all day. Usually found on Plantations or large land lots with a house/shack of some sort including a porch.

in the past, porch monkey has a term used when referencing someone of african american decent...on July 21, 2006 Randle Graves altered the meaning of porch monkey for the better...he reclaimed the term and changed its meaning to not be a racial slur against african americans but a mere term to discribe any lazy person...black or white

How high should your fence be?
POSTED: 12:56 PM Oct 10 2012
UPDATED: 11:37 AM Oct 31 2012
When installing a fence, one common question is how tall should the fence be?
The height of a fence depends on where you live and any regulations in your area. Before installing your fence you should check with your local regulators to see if there are any restrictions.
Most people tend to have their fence limited to 4 feet in the front yard and 6 feet in the backyard.

In Process choice under Free to Marry
Perhaps this topic has been covered. I am relatively new here and I apologize if it has been. I may be being too picky but am wondering why there are four choices to the Free To Marry multiple choice questions in the profile building section of this website. Yes, No, In Process and Not Sure (or Unsure) are the choices. I am currently In Process but have chosen NO as my response to the question. In the world I live in I am either free or not and until I am...I'm not free!! Going through the annulment process gives no guarantee that at the end of the tunnel anyone will be Free To Marry. So I'm not sure why In Process is offered. Any insights will be appreciated!

Description of Research Expertise
I study human cortical organization for vision, and how this organization is altered by neurologic and ophthalmologic disease. Human visual cortex is composed of early, "retinotopically" organized visual areas, as well as more specialized, "categorical" areas that process specific visual features (such as facial appearance). My work has varied along two dimensions within this research space: scale and perturbation. I have examined the organization of visual cortex from its large-scale, anatomical arrangement to the precise and subtle form of population neural coding for object features. These studies at different scales of cortical organization have further been conducted both in healthy controls as well as in patients for whom visual function has been perturbed by retinal disease or cerebral dysfunction. I make use of a variety of scientific techniques, although the majority of my research uses BOLD fMRI, which is a non-invasive measure of neural activity in human participants.Selected Publications

There's also the announcement of Project Timelord that is hopefully going to improve Kubuntu, which isn't as polished as the Gnome's Ubuntu.
Exciting times!
Phoronix: New Features For KDE 4.4 Desktop
KDE 4.4 is scheduled to be released in early February of 2010 as the six-month feature update to KDE4 and now its feature plan has surfaced. KDE 4.4 is poised to pickup a number of exciting new features along with various bug-fixes and other updates...
There's also the announcement of Project Timelord that is hopefully going to improve Kubuntu, which isn't as polished as the Gnome's Ubuntu.
Exciting times!
I hope that I am wrong, but it looks like this is going to be the fourth major release of kde4 with poor bluetooth support.
How is it that kde is not aiming at feature parity with gnome on this front? I cannot believe there is such little request for exploring/transferring photos and the files on the handy phone from the kde desktop.
Kde is doing great on many aspects of its new desktop. However, I keep thinking that it should be prioritizing a few things in a different way.
Currently a big effort seems to be put in polishing new functionalities for which alternative easy approaches do anyway exist (improved search bars, social desktops, etc...). However, there are functionalities that one takes for granted in other desktops (and used to take for granted in kde 3.5) for which an easy replacements does not exist. If these are completely missing (support for managed printing for legacy applications, exploring mobile devices via bluetooth to name a couple) the appeal of the desktop is reduced, notwithstanding its innovation.
Please, now that the new foundations are in place, address regressions and feature parity with other desktop environments /before/ adding new stuff.
kdebluetooth4 works just fine....
mmm... good to see I was not up to date. But neither is the kde-apps page then, since for kbluetooth4 says that currently there is no
- kio obex module (so it is impossible to browse remote filesystem)
- support to pair audio devices (for Device Manager and Wizard)
nor my system that got updated to kde 4.3.2 has such functionality. Is kbluetooth distributed separately from the main kde packages?
To get some of those features, you have to use an unreleased version. I think the latest SVN has some of these features.
Are there any long term plans to ditch GPL PyQt in favor of LGPL Nokia Supported PySide?
Above all, phonon is FINALLY going to have equalizer support. I know the amarok devs are thrilled about this, as they were talking all the blame for not having an eq in amarok2.
There is also some major bug in plasma or solid that gets fixed too. I forget what it was, but it was discovered around the time of 4.3rc1, so it was too late to fix it.
