How to eat a mangosteen
www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBZ9rviGTpg
The purple mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), colloquially known simply as mangosteen, is a tropical evergreen tree believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas of Indonesia. Nevertheless, it also grows in tropical South American countries such as Colombia, where the tree has been introduced. The tree grows from 7 to 25 m (20–80 ft) tall. The fruit of the mangosteen is sweet and tangy, juicy, and somewhat fibrous, with an inedible, deep reddish-purple colored rind (exocarp) when ripe.In each fruit, the fragrant edible flesh that surrounds each seed is botanically endocarp, i.e., the inner layer of the ovary.
The purple mangosteen belongs to the same genus as the other, less widely known, mangosteens, such as the button mangosteen (G. prainiana) or the charichuelo (G. madruno).
A tropical tree, the mangosteen must be grown in consistently warm conditions, as exposure to temperatures below 0°C (32°F) for prolonged periods will generally kill a mature plant. They are known to recover from brief cold spells rather well, often with damage only to young growth. Experienced horticulturists have grown this species outdoors, and brought them to fruit in extreme South Florida.

In addition to the replica of a Camden & Amboy track segment that exists near the Hightstown-East Windsor Historical Society museum in town, Hightstown also hosts this preserved original piece of C&A right of way. It looks to be in need of some freshening up.
From the National Park Service web site:
The Camden & Amboy was the first railroad to operate in New Jersey and only the third in the nation, and was the first railroad to connect major American cities. It transformed the New Jersey economy permanently and its politics for more than a generation. Furthermore, Hightstown, the northern terminus during the first three months of its operation, was completely transformed by the railroad's presence. The construction of its line reflects that brief period in the 1830s when the British influence on railroad building was eagerly embraced, until experiences forced adaptation to American conditions. This is best reflected in the use of stone railroad blocks, on the eve of the adoption of wooden crossties, a Camden & Amboy invention. The period of significance of the nominated site extends from 1831 when construction began to circa 1855, when improvements to the roadbed in Hightstown forced the discontinuance of the original track. The track, stripped of its rails, was buried beneath a foot or more of fill. This preserved the roadbed for more than 125 years, until operations by the Penn-Central Railroad [actually, Conrail] ceased in 1983. The site was discovered during the succeeding year. Today, the Hightstown site is one of the only places where remnants of the original Camden & Amboy line are preserved in situ, exposed, and interpreted.
ODC Section/Segment
I sectioned off the rest of the crisp so we could easily take a piece. I love this recipe. It's low in fat, it uses grape seed oil instead of butter. It has no gluten because I used Almond Flour and Gluten Free Oats in the crust and I didn't add sugar to the fruit. I used super sweet peaches so they made up for the lack of extra sweetener. This is actually a healthy dessert. The Peaches came from Indian Creek Farm down the road and the Blueberries were from my Co-op!
The segmented body technique is by [http://www.flickr.com/photos/sirnadroj/]
This seemed like the best technique to use given all the damned horns I had to put on. There was a give and take with the wings. I sacrificed detail on the wings for weight because this can't hold up much. Also, the wings would've increased the commission price dramatically had I made them more detailed.
...at least for me.
Good morning everyone. As the title indicates, featured today is a new damselfly for yours truly, being the Skimming Bluet (Enallagma geminatum). While I first saw one in 2012 it wasn't until this year I was able to get a few decent pics of some.
The most important identifying characteristic of a Skimming Bluet, is the shape of the blue on abdominal segment 2 (this segment is near where the abdomen joins the thorax and is noted above). The spot has been described as "wavy-sided" or "hourglass shaped." It isn't easy to see in the field since Skimming Bluets are also one of the smallest bluets, with a body length of only 0.8 to 1.1 inches (2.2 - 2.8 cm), but a good macro or telephoto lens helps.
One final note...I'm not sure this series with four (4) additional photos and text in the comment section is going to work well with the new flickr format since unlike in the past, when you comment on a photo now you only see a few of the prior comments. Meaning the photos & text I added in the first comment box will not be readily visible unless you select to see all comments...which I hope you will.
Thank you, and for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.

After work today I saw some lovely plants that I just had to take a few pics of....I think I may have actually shot about 225! When I got home I played around in Photoshop with a few of the results and with this one I really liked the colors.
Made Explore on Sunday, April 22, 2007 and dropped out Monday, LOL.

En 1970 Montesa apretaba fuerte en el segmento de los ciclomotores: a aquella familia de los 50 y Ciclo-Montesa, apodada "Impalita" por su parecido fÃsico con su hermana mayor siguieron, en 1968 las Mini-Montesa automática de chasis abierto y en 1970, las Fura, para el campo.
En ese 1970 habÃa que acercarse también a los amantes de lo deportivo y se presenta la BrÃo/50: recuperando un viejo nombre ya casi olvidado (las últimas BrÃo se habÃan fabricado en 1962). con manillar bajo y colores vivos, pero con la misma base mecánica de sus antecesores se fabrica un bonito ciclomotor del que se fabricaron no más de 1.900 unidades (contra casi 30.000 de las "Impalita") durante dos años.
Estética deportiva, pero con cambio al puño- manillar de solo tres velocidades, un ciclomotor difÃcil de encontrar hoy dÃa.

Day 3 Sargents Mesa (Segment 16/17) to random campsite (Segment 17)
Thermometer said 38f this morning but it felt colder. Probably wasn't though. Lots of activity in Sargents Mesa last night. Heard elk bugling often and thought I heard a dog at least once. Definetly heard some coyotes around 5 or 6. They sounded close.
Today was anticipated to be dry so I carried alot of water. Usually the pack gets lighter the longer you're out due to lightening the food bag. However, when you have to carry extra water you don't realize that benefit. I met some hunters who gave me an extra bottle of water and took my trash. They actually knew what trail magic was and it was very much appreciated!
If you spend enough time hiking, it is inevitable that you will eventually take a tumble. There were alot of rocks today and I did fall while hiking downhill. No injuries though.
A possible water source at Razor Creek was dry where trail crossed but I found a small pool upstream several hundred feet. I was able to dip and fill 32 oz bag. Enough for a hot meal and some extra for tomorrow. I continued hiking but once again stopped early for dinner around 3. Freeze dried spaghetti was on the menu. Typical freeze dried meals are more expensive but easier to prepare. They are also better tasting than tuna packets and creamy noodles of some sort.
After dinner, I made it up and over a few more bumps. Kinda steep but not too long. I found a campsite maybe 1/2 mile before where I planned to stop. A few hikers passed by quickly in search of water.
While hiking 15.4 miles today, the temp got up to 80. Nice increase from the morning.
A segment on finding men the best underwear drew a few models and a few more leering eyes to The Morning Show studio.
I believe this to be a male Osmia bicornis antenna
The filament of the antenna has 11 clear countable segments (a female would have 10)
