WHOLE TRAIN
I love the scenes in this movie where they're on Train Missions. Wiping off the finger prints from cans, blazing sketch sessions, benching at the station next morning, getting chased, and always arguing. All the details in the film remind me of our CTA missions. The overall story line is one of those Hip Hop films which speak about friendships, and struggles in life and society.. The Train Mission scenes are so fresh !
There is a free screening tomorrow in NYC. Check it out if you are around.

The Last Nighttime Shuttle Launch Ever
if you are in the eastern United States, you had the great opportunity to see the space shuttle Endeavour launch into orbit at 4:39am.and onlookers would have been able to witness the launch for roughly 10 minutes. This was the last nighttime Shuttle launch ever. Even though it was a surprisingly wide area for spotting the launch, I missed it!!.. I couldn't wake up...zzz...

Mission to the edge of Space
Felix Baumgartner is planning to try a stratospheric free fall jump from 120,000 feet above the earth, to the very edge of Space this year. It will be the longest in the history of man and he might be the first human to break the speed of sound with his own body.
He will join US Air Force Captain Joseph Kittinger as the only man to jump from near space altitude. Kittinger jumped on August 16, 1960, from the Excelsior III balloon, at 102,800 feet.

Flashback
A half day trip to Hakone. I went to a soba spot at Uhako after taking a Ropeway and a Cable car. I had a flashback as soon as I stepped into the gate. Like I've been here before! I sat by the window like 20 some years ago! My friend's parents took us here on the way back home from camping trip one summer. it was so strange how my memory came back from that day.

Stealth Wingsuits
The Gryphon Next Generation Parachute System. A German company,SPELCO
is working on the development of stealth wingsuits for the military. The vision
is to enable special forces to jump out of airplanes at high altitude, deploy
This 6-foot wing gives a glide ratio of 5:1, which means that a drop from
30,000 feet will allow you to glide about 30 miles. The makers estimate that
this would take around 15 minutes, giving an average speed of about 60 miles
an hour. An engine attachment could double the distance. It seems like a smooth
entering, but it would be bitch to get out from the enemy territory。。
ドイツにあるSPELCOがThe Gryphon Next Generation Parachute Systemという
プロジェクトで軍用ステルスウイングスーツを開発中だとか。この1.8Mの羽付き
スーツは特殊部隊が標高約9kmから５０kmぐらい離れた適地へ約１５分ぐらいで

I knew L.L.Bean has bunch of the Real Tree Camo items for Hunting, and I am not that big fun of the camo because I would look like a red neck who loves to shoot animals... lol However they got some cool camo items. The one I like most is the Wool pants. it is so fresh! They have Camo Wool Jacket as well.
Tote Bags seems be really useful. The moccasins look nice and it doesn't bother me in Camo patterns. I have seen few knifes and tools in Camo on their site although I don't know if it's good idea. You will have very hard time finding it if you drop it at the site. I think Buck Omni Knife with neon orange on works better for the reason, you can not loose it that easy. lol And Yes! Gillie suit! I just would love to have a pair just because... I know, I know, It doesn't have any use if you are not a hunter or sniper...

Blue 9 Burger
My boy Hide has returned from Tokyo after his extended hiatus. I linked up with him the other day and went to check out some burger spots. We didn't know where to go this time, so we just randomly picked a spot we googled. Our search result brought up Blue 9 Burger.. It had good reviews, although it was just a regular ass burger joint....I couldn't taste anything special about their burger. Then we went to have some Paul's burger right after we finished eating an unsatisfying Blue 9 burger. That too was a mistake!! We were forgetting how big burgers are at Paul's....The burger tasted good, but it was too much burger for one night....

Redwoods : Living Giants
National Geographic photographer Michael Nichols spent an entire year in California's redwood forests. His mission was to capture the majesty of some of the tallest trees on Earth. Those trees are easily over 1,000 years old as well. It involved three cameras, a team of scientists, a robotic dolly, a gyroscope, an 83-photo composite and a lot of patience to take the photo below. Check out Redwoods : Living Giants on National Geographic October issue. The magazine, with the help of the Wildlife Conservation Society and Save The Redwoods League, also sent Mike Fay on a trek from the southernmost redwood in Big Sur to the northernmost tree near Oregon's Chetco River. It took him and his hiking partner, Lindsey Holm, more than a year of non-stop hiking to complete the trek of more than 2,000 miles. We need to be easy on nature more.

Baby MRAP - are All-Terrain Vehicles that are a smaller and a lighter off-road version of the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle BAE Systems developed. The effort gives U.S. troops in Afghanistan a lighter and more agile armored vehicle. This mirrors the Defense Department’s original push to give troops in Iraq MRAPs. The first 7 vehicles are expected to arrive in Afghanistan sometime today. They look similar to the Japanese SDF's Komatsu LAV.

On Sunday I spent my afternoon at a street festival down the street from my crib with the Davis family. I found a sign that said "Rasta Pasta" on a booth -- My coworker told me
about Rasta Pasta before, and I always wanted to try it.... I thought it was a vegetarian dish, but in reality it's named after the color of the dish; they use red pepper, pasta (yellow) and green pepper. Anyway it tasted pretty plain, but I liked it with really spicy jerk chicken♪

I went to check the West Indian Parade out on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn on Labor Day.
As in previous years, it was very intense. They always post a lot of cops at the event,
but I spotted snipers on the roof of Brooklyn Museum this year...

Shinnecock Indian Powwow
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to go check out Shinnecock Indian's Harvest celebration Pow-wow at the Shinnecock Indian Reservation in Eastern Long Island, New York. Shinnecock Indians are an Algonquin people who have forever lived along the shores of Eastern Long Island.
Ron's boy Chris who is from the Shinnecock Reservation showed us around the area and told us a little bit about his tribe. At this Pow-wow a lot of people came to celebrate, also many other tribes joined from all over the nation. I tried some Wampanoag food, such as Tumasis,quail meat, deer meat and buffalo meat. They were pretty tasty♪Big up to Chris for his great hospitality!

Manhattanhenge
One of only two occasions when the Sun sets in exact alignment with the Manhattan
grid, fully illuminating every single cross-street for the last fifteen minutes of daylight♪
This year it's happening on May 31, 8:17 PM EDT and July 11, 8:25 PM EDT.
The other day is July 12, 8:25 PM EDT. It gives you a photogenic view with half the Sun
above and half the Sun below the horizon on the grid. Also for best view effect, position
yourself as far east in Manhattan as possible. I hope it doesn't rain this weekend..
Be on time if you want to check it out.

A Friday Evening
Friday evening, I stopped by Darren's crib. I love the view from his crib. Anyway I had a taste of Cohiba that he brought back from Cuba♪ Then after I took a nap for a couple hour, we linked up with Ron, Blair& Mel D at a party. I was chilling at the roof top most of time since it was stuffy and hot inside. I want a tripod...

Shake Shack Burger
I went to have a lunch at Shake Shack in Madison Square Park. I got a Shack Stack since
I was starving and being greedy... It was tasty but the 2 patties and a breaded, deep-fried
portobello mushroom stuffed with muenster and cheddar cheese was little too much for me... However regular burgers are not that big and really good. They also have nice milkshakes as well♪ Good lunch at the park♪ but I ate too much....

surveillance
I found strange surveillance cameras mounted on the wall of a construction site. It seems be so pointless... there is whole bunch of "Under Video Surveillance 24hrs" signs all over the wall by spray paint. They are also pointless... although it looks like someone had fun writing it. As well as those hand made stencil signs, maybe a writer?
Speaking of, Joe made a cool book focusing on surveillance cameras. Check it out on LeDeux.net click on "Noid"♪

Terakawa Ramen
I stopped by at Terakawa ramen that just opened last month on Lexington ave between 22nd and 23rd. I ordered Tonkotsu flavor ramen noodle with mini curry rice. the curry rice was cold and awful....

SAMO© IS DEAD
I was peeping my boy, ENUE's photos and saw this interesting shot of a wall by his job. It's really kool that he captured it on the photo〜♪
Here is his comment about the photo:
So this building by my job is restoring these old walls that have probably had 30 years of graffiti on them... I was watching these guys put chemicals and grind out the wall over the course of 2 weeks...Some cool old tags popped up, Zephyr, Stash2, but I caught this "Samo Is Dead" which looks like a legit Basquiat type thing... It's gone now, the wall is clean, however, they probably could have caked off on this shit...

A New Earphone
The left side of my Nitraid Headphone that I stole from my man Cherick have stopped working at last.... So I went to get a new headphone... I usually don't research anything and end up staying at the store for long time.... Anyway I decided to get a earphone this time, thinking about the comfort of riding my bike under the hot hot summer sun. Also EightMan was talking about his BOSE headphone last week that encouraged me to get a BOSE earphone after a long meeting with my wallet.... Anyway I put it on, and on the way home everything was fine up until I got right infront of my crib.... Fuuuck!!! The earphone cord got hooked on something and fell apart.... I often break headphones, but it didn't even last a day this time..... I am now using the ear set which came with my phone...

Katz's Delicatessen
Saturday night I crossed the bridge to check out KRS ONE show, but I couldn't get in since
my friend showed up late. So we went to drink at some random bar and somehow we ended up at Katz. I got a Pastarami Sandwitch. The guy just dumped a pile of Pastrami on the bread.... It looks 120% heavy duty heartache food although it was a good munchies. And what I liked was the green pickle on the side, which kind of reminds me a Japanese pickled in salt.
Morning Practice
I had a morning practice on a clay court this weekend. It felt kind of funny since I usually play on the hard court. My Knee started hurting after the practice.... Yuck.... I took train to work today to take it easy.... I hope it heals soon....

LEGO FAV Buggy
I built a FAV (Fast Attack Vehicle) Dune Buggy from scratch with left over pieces〜♪ It didn't look like the buggy as much as I thought it would once I compared it with the real FAV... Well.. I still like how it came out♪
The FAVs are built by Chenowth. They are modified versions of off-road race cars that U.S. Military elite units use. They are currently operated only by SEAL Team THREE, the unit assigned to the Middle East as DPV (Desert Patrol Vehicle).

Kamui Den Shio
Shio Ramen Noodle (Salt based broth) from Kamui Den in Alphabet City. I thought it would be some special shit since they only serve the Ramen after 11pm. Well.. it was not as good as I was expected... the soup was too plain for me.. it needs little more kick to it... Although the chicken that was in the Ramen was pretty good. Maybe it will taste good when you're drunk... I should try it again when I'm drunk and see what's up, lol I wanna come back here for Udon and other shit..
Grimaldi's Pizza
I finally got my hands on Grimaldi's Pizza right under the Brooklyn Bridge〜♪ They always have a long line and I just could not get down with it, but that day there was no line. It was a cloudy day, but had a nice pizza break by the water front♪

Anyway I ordered Tonkotsu Ramen (Pork Bone Broth). it tasted really familiar.. the spot is a sister store of Minca. they just changed the name but taste same and everything... Well I like the taste, but at same time I was disappointed... I guess I was expecting to have something new... However I love the slice stewed pork and egg♪

Hang Son Doong is a mountain river cave that a local guy, Ho Khanh discovered back in '91 in the heart of the Vietnamese jungle although now the British explores are claiming they've discovered it... However it is Measuring more than 198meters (650 ft) high and almost 152meters (500 ft) wide in the main chamber. It is believed to be larger than the Deer Cave in Sarawak, Malaysia, which at more than 91meters (100 yards) high and 82meters (90 yards) wide is currently recognized as the world's largest cave passage. The cave is at least 4miles deep. They will go back and complete the expedition of the cave and conduct a full survey later in the year.
I would love to go there♪

Lego Yamato
A Lego builder, Mitsui finally completed his 1/40 Lego Japanese battle ship Yamato 6 years and 4 months after he started♪ 6.6m long, 1.0m wide, 150kg, 200,000 pieces. This is just incredible! You should check out the detail of the ship! He announced it on his web site on April, 7 which is the day Yamato was attacked and sunk 64years ago. This guy has been done a lot of kool Lego creations, But one thing it bothers me is why he put time to create B-29??? I mean that would not be my choice for sure...
However the real Yamato is still at bottom of the ocean, 345m deep, 176km south of Nannyo Islands, Nagasaki, Japan, lat. 30°43′N, Long. 128°04′E.. Rest In Peace.

Cold War On The Rail
During the cold war, both U.S. and Soviet tried so many silly things to proof they are better than the other... Of cause they tried some on the rail as well. Russian prototype Jet Train was built in early 1970's. Its maximum speed was about 180 mph. American one called M-497, a jet-powered engine was tested in 1966. The train did exceed 183 mph which is still a U.S. record today...

Okinawa Boots
Made in 1950's, these are the very first US Army's modern jungle boots. They are WWII Double Buckle boots that have been redesigned with canvas parts for tropical climates. Many of early soldiers who were deployed to Vietnam from Okinawa wore them, hence the name.
They look fresh but I don't think I can rock them right... Something about the tall boots that I can't get down with.... I guess they would be one of my those displayed only items... Although a pair of these in dead stock sounds quite attractive to me...

Sin Nombre
This weekend became a movie weekend♪ I went to check out Sin Nombre. It is directed by Cary Fukunaga. It is a deep movie. Seeking the promise of America, a young Honduran woman, Sayra, joins her father and uncle and hops on the freight trains to cross the South America to reach to the United States. Along the way she crosses paths with a teenaged Mexican gang member, El Casper, who is trying to outrun his violent past and elude his unforgiving former associates. Together they journey towards the hope of new lives. It made me think of how lucky I am in my situation..
La Haine
I went to Ron's crib to celebrate his mother's birthday last Friday~♪ I fell asleep, as usual, and woke up the next day around noon... and we were lazy all day. We watched a french film, La Haine, It was directed by Mathieu Kassovitz. It is said that Kassovitz based the script on the actual death of 22 year old French Arab Malik Oussekine, who was beaten to death by police following a 1986 university demonstration. However, the movie was inspired by an incident where a young Zairian, Makome M'Bowole, was shot in 1993. He was killed at point blank range while in police custody and handcuffed to a radiator. The officer was reported to have been angered by Makomé's words, and had been threatening him when the gun went off accidentally.. Nique La Police!!!

I went to check out George Clinton & P-Funk Finally〜♪ I always wanted to see them.
I was quite surprised that the audience was so random, it was a very eclectic group of people. I guess it just shows how P-Funk has been inspiring people throughout the decades. However they did show up just when I was getting tired of waiting but put on a crazy show as expected it was really entertaining. Each member had totally different styles which was pretty intense. Gene Poo Poo Man Anderson even had a dipper on.. However it was really cool to check out their show〜♪ The P-Funk〜♪

Duke Ellington Coin
About a month ago, Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington, one of jazz's most influential pioneers, became the first African American to appear on a US coin. Duke Ellington, along with his piano, will appear on the Washington D.C. quarter〜♪
The final three choices were Duke Ellington, Frederick Douglass and Benjamin Banneker♪ Out of these three great African Americans, I feel like Duke Ellington was a safe pick for them to avoid some conflicts since many people recognize him as a Jazz legend rather than an activist...
However, he is not actually the first African American to be on the US coin, The real first African-American to appear on a circulating coin was York, a slave who accompanied Lewis and Clark on their "Corps of Discovery" adventures across America at the dawn of the 19th century. The 2003 Missouri quarter features the three men together in a canoe on the obverse. Obviously York didn't get any props like he deserved...
