BTW!!! Baja on my 85 (or 86) 150 Elite???? I'm in!!!!
Wow! What a great ride thread. I wish I were on the west coast; we have winter starting up here. I haven't ridden since Wednesday last week, and we got some snow on Thursday.
Amerivespa will be in San Diego next summer. I went this past summer in Lake Geneva, WI, and had a great time. I ride with the LG scooter club.
Well today I did it! I hit 5000 kms! it took me just over a year!!1 I know it isn't much but I have enjoy every single one!!!
The were was I pic
The proof:
Well since it is a new year = new accessories!!! here is the "winter edition" of the Beat, I still have to see about them mirrors so i will be adjusting the windshield, but I like it as it is, and it even looks as an accesory instead of a universal windshield
here it is
I just went back and reread the entire thread. It is nice you still have the Beat. I now have 3 scooters, the '09 Vino 125, '09 Stella 150 (same as Vespa 150, quality not as good) and a 2012 Zuma 125. It is fuel injected, and there have been some issues with them, mostly early models. All I can do is hope for the best. I have a 33L top box and a windshield on it.
In reading the thread, I get the impression there is a paved road from one end of Baja to the other? If so I would love to ride that on the Zuma 125. I took a 700 mile trip on it, from Phoenix to Wickenburg to Quartzite to Yuma, then to Tucson, and back to Phoenix. It did good. I carried an extra gallon of gas just to be safe. Had to ride 22 miles on I-10, which was a bit scary, because it is not legal here on a 125 scooter.
YES THERE IS. If you cross at either Tijuana or Tecate it will be about 1,000 miles to Cabo San Lucas (where the Pacific meets the Golf of California). I think the zuma would be a killer scooter for this! I think the tires are good for all the road part and most of the off road sections you would see from the road.. you know THAT beach down there. l
When you do Baja it is necessary to care an extra 2 gallon fuel tank because on road there are sections with over 200 miles of no services, there are options for fuel along the way but if you want to be sure you just carry it!
I am thinking of buying a Zumay and "give" the Beat to my wife so we could go for ice cream, food and what not around town in summer, and latter the Zuma for my baby girl and I get a vespa! lol!!
Cheers amigo!
so it has been almost 2 months or more since the last post, and yeah, winter was here and now it is gone.
Today I had no intentions of doing nothing, so I just went to wash my scooter, but first I had to see about the sea.
this was lunch:
so I park her over viewing the ocean,
then I saw this, the reason for coming..
and I can never pass up a self portrait on the beach, so the Beat had to go closer...
had a nice quiet time, some stuff to think about and in the 60's F, can't complain!
I hope tomorrow is a repeat of this 3 day weekend!
Cheers amigos!
so my friends on scooters have been hiding from winter, so I call them up and mention this weekend was a good one for tiding scooters, not to much fog, not cold and we had 3 day weekend! so what better way to celebrate than with a small ride at 35 mph!
From the group I never know who will come, sometimes they say YES and then don't show up, either way I was ready, and after a small-huge fight with miss damasovi, well I was ready to hit the road!
At then end we were 6! I think this is the biggest attendance EVER! our magical number was 5, but now we were 6.
So at around 8:25 we hit the road, and that was a good thing since I was hungry, and we went north to La Fonda restaurant, somewhere at the end of the county on the northern end.
Here we are arriving:
We were all 150 cc and under, 1 motorcicle (on the front right) that is a Honda Unicornio 150 cc 4 stroke and Mendoza was the driver, a new member, next to the left is a Yamaha BW's 125 (or as it known in the US a Zuma) and his driver is Victor (the one wearing the orange vest) next is a Vento 150 cc with Carlos, also a new member. and then is us the 3 "old" members, Ada with her Italika 150 cc and Yasmin also with the same model bike, and last my Honda beat and all 100 cc of power!
This is the view we had for breakfast:
here we are READY to eat!
food was great, the new members fit perfect and laughter was the guess of honor!!
Going north we took la libre Ensenada-Tijuana and then on the way back we did the same (almost) then before going down to El Tigre we took a left and went into wine country, here are the bikes and people next to the wall of wine bottles:
a couple more before we go home!
all in all 130+ km (around 85 miles) and it was a lot of fun!!!
Cheers people!!
today's ride map
So after a long time without a ride group, or pics to prove it... some emails went, some emails came ... so it was set! father's day was a no go, but on the 23rd we rode!!
Many were invited, the best came! 9 am was the date, I show up ay 8:59 and I already had since one the ladies!! so it was a sign!! by 9:15 we were all gas up and ready to go. 7 in total.
Yasmin was ready! and today she had a great day to remember!!
on we went, south!!! A little breeze keep the ride fresh, never cold, 20 miles latter the sun was shinning...
I tough the restaurant was farther down, Acambaro, but it was some 5 miles closer... GOOD I was hungry!!
Farther south from Ensenada the 4 lane road turns into 3, then 2 then 1 lane, doing 30-40 m/hr is a challange when you are blocking the only lane in the only road that goes for 1,000+ miles conecting TIjuana with where the Pacific meets the Golf of California, but NO worries, since it has been widen enough to fit 1 or 2 scooters side by side, so traffic was a non issue.
this is the road...
So we went in, got food, WE ATE IT all!!
WE happy!!!
The ladies!
Not so happy
then we were ready to go home, you know the road.. and hugo (the men in the BW aka Zuma) said, we should go to a winery ... we were on the old wine rout... so WHY NOT!!
Just the official picture out side the restaurant
During breakfast we discuss a lot possible trips and rides, the Baja 1000 this, the Baja 500 that... you know classical stuff from motorcyclist. We then got to the types of motorcycles, yes you know, there are only two types, a) the ones who have fallen and b) the ones that will go down, and all the stories of broken bones came to the table.
ENOUGH!!! lets ride! the wineries are waiting!
Ensenada has two wine regions, the old and the new one, this was going to be on the south side (old wine region).
But before we got there, we had to do some dirt sections.
in Uruapan county!
get off the road
We need no stinking GS's!!
After the down hill that is visible in the picture above, we came into a river bed, were there was a lot of sand, no rocks. Remember there are two types of bikers? I won't say who but one of the ladies discover that when in sand... you can't turn directions like on asphalt...
the good thing is she was doing under 15 m/hr and she landed on soft sand. The three guys behind her jump out of their scooters and got her up, she dust off and was all smiles after that! Also no damage to the scooter.
All smiles! what a camper!!
The men that help her!
On we go!!! For moments there was enough sand to make the rear spin and "dance" so when that happen we just put our feet down and continue, the beauty of small, light and low seat heights!!
the road was nice!! (sand aside)
So we continue...
Wine??? I CAN SMELL YOU!!!
getting closer!!!
We continue to what seem as a lot of fun!! In the many fantasies that I have is to do Baja on my scooter with several dirt sections, read "dirt" with no silk, and this trip was a nice sampler.
You get extra points for finding the scooters.
one the best pictures...(that my friend Hugo took)
and then we got there!
A view from above..
and so it begun, Chenin Blanc as wine #1/1 (we decided we would not have to complete serving of wines, just a taste)
Then we just child for a bit,
going up the hill was not for me but for my friends yes.
there they found a pound with some fish..
a lot of good times, sooner than what we wanted got time to go back, but first another look at our scooters...
going to the hwy
I miss the shot, but when I got there, Yasmin had gone down, again a low speed dive, she had a lot of dirt on her pants, no more than that but I am sure she was a little hurt (just ego? maybe) again the guys took care of her and help her up.
The winery is building a restaurant-hotel-tasting room and Jose wanted us to see it, so had to see it!
let's follow Victor and his BW's/Zuma
the rest!
Can you see my BIG fat smile?
On the way south I took the lead one more time and we got home in one piece, happy and with a date for next July!!!
So last week AmeriVespa was held in San Diego. A friend (inmate here) Raja tells me he is coming and if I want to go for lunch and meet him in Puerto Nuevo, capital of the lobster (in state or country..) and how can you say no to a ride, a friend on your first day of summer vacation and the weather was in the 60-80F??? NO you can not.
So my friend comes with his son...
So I got to Puerto Nuevo a little earlier and got to an oxxo to drink some juice and eat something. Angel, one of the organizers said they would be there at around 11:30, and at 11:30 I see a BIG group of scooter approaching the peace full town Puerto Nuevo... man they came by the dozens...
I found my friend!!! and we rode the together the last 1/2 mile to the parking lot, look at all this scooters!!!
a Honda among all the vespas!
so we great it, and talk a bit then I said "let's eat!" so inside the restaurant we went.
this is all you need, a big **s tortilla, lobster, beans and rice.
Raja road with his son, father and compadre. Here is a pic of all 3 Kumars
I normally don't take food pictures, but this time a had to get a pic of the shrimp ceviche, it came in a pine apple!!! what?? yes first time I had it like that, and Raja took this pic that I don't hate (I don't like pics of my self when I am all alone)
aaa all the people, all the scooters!!! what a great time there!!! We spoke about a trip down south, on the scooters?? maybe not, not enough time for me to go since my scooter is only 100 cc and top cruising speed is around 40 mph and for 1,000 miles (x 2) is not much fun if you have to be back in under a week, sure I could do it one week (south bound then another to come back)...
so Raja is a brand new happy owner of a Huaskavarna Terra, one of this
Then it was time to departure!
The compadre!
Let's get ready to leave the parking lot!
front view
rear view
mirror view
self portrait
some pics from the road
This guy ask me about my top box... and I think his vespa would look so cool with a aluminum box!
Then the pace took off! I could not follow, I was doing WOT and only reaching 50 mph, so I decided I was not going to follow no more, I did had to return for the birth day cake, so I wave good bye to the last rider (Angel) and scream that I was returning!
And in a few words and a couple of pics, this was my Lunch with AmeriVespa!!
I hope you like, and post some comments
well my group is very much dependent on me, I have been some what budy to ride with them, and I also found my new group call Cochilocos, they all ride bigger bikes, and when I do on the scooter I basicallyide solo but it is fine with me, on other days I take the KLR...
So here is just one picture from last week, 10,000 km in less than 2 years, not bad for a 100 cc scooter, a new tire is waiting, so Monday I will change it.

Been a while since my last post, but in the immortal words of Monty Python, "don't worry, I still have plenty more Game Studio 4.0 things I want to write about..."

For untold centuries a war has been waged in the shadows cast by the moon. Two great powers of the underworld clash in repetitive fury, fighting for ultimate supremacy. The hedonistic Vampires believe it to be their birthright to own the night. The untamed Werewolves believe that none other than themselves should master the Earth. Whose claim is true? When twilight descends, which species will set the ancient records in stone and prove their powers of domination? Time to settle old scores. It's time to Bare Your Fangs!
Bare Your Fangs is a two-player dice fighting game devoted to resolving once and for all which species will reign supreme: Vampire or Werewolf. Players choose their faction dice and roll to attack! The fully customized die icons determine successful hits, blocks, and of course, one's ability to hunt for humans and thereby heal wounds incurred in these savage battles. But there is always risk. Some humans won't go down without a fight! And one particular human seeks only the total annihilation of all creatures of the night. The Werewolf's physical power is unmatched but the Vampire's ability to heal is legendary. Only one will rule when dawn breaks, but will the victor crush his opponent into oblivion and take his rightful place as Leader Eternal, or will the fang fray destroy them both!

Atlanta Challenge's fun, outdoor corporate team building events help participants get to know each other better, build relationships, and help improve morale by having participants work together towards a common goal while having a great time. Have a unique company picnic or employee appreciation outing!
Outdoor Corporate Team Building Events
Browse Outdoor Team Building Events
This is a team building event AND service project combined into one exciting program. Participants overcome a series of hands-on challenges to retrieve the parts for a child's bicycle which they assemble and then donate to a local charity. The challenges are a combination of proven, high-energy, problem-solving initiatives and mental challenges that will help your team identify the behaviors of optimum teamwork. Donating a completed bicycle is a great metaphor for the importance of staying focused on the big picture.
This is the perfect program for teams that want the challenge of a ropes course, but without the physical demand. We present the Teamwork Compass™ which is a powerful tool that helps groups understand the four foundational elements of a successful team. They then work through a series of hands-on challenges that help them see how much more effectively they can operate when using these key attributes. Teams will better communicate, solve problems and support each other as they strive to improve their performance.
This adventure illustrates the importance of good planning, communication, and utilization of resources in order to achieve team success. Your team heads into the jungle on an important rescue mission. Each member of the team is taught a different skill, and then must come together to accomplish their mission. Team members use a map, compass and GPS to find several sites that contain valuable items that need to be retrieved. When they arrive at each location, they will find unique challenges they must engineer a solution to, using only the resources that they have decided to bring with them. This is a great program for groups that want to emphasize the importance of appreciating everyone's unique skills.
Teams take a competitive Race Around the World, without leaving the event location! In this high-energy program, teams solve clues that take them to exotic locations all over the world. At each location, they tackle a fun, location-themed challenge as quickly as they can before moving on to their next mission. The winner is the team that finishes with the most points, which keeps everyone engaged right up until the exciting end.
Teams put on their thinking caps and their walking shoes in order to outsmart their competition in these fun and fast-paced programs. Your team will solve puzzles, take pictures of themselves doing outrageous things, decipher codes, find secret locations and face off against other teams in mini challenges, while they work cohesively as a team in a high-energy, fun way.
iChase has all the fun of our regular Teamwork Hunts, but with added technology twists. Each team has their own tablet computer which contains all of their mission information. Teams race to earn points by solving clues, taking pictures, answering trivia, and finding special locations which will have a variety of challenges to overcome. As they travel, teams can see where other teams are on their GPS map, know everyone's score, and send text messages and screen blocks.
The local townspeople used to enjoy the occasional ghost haunting the historic area because they were great for tourism, but now the town has become overrun! Your group will identify and capture as many of the ghosts as possible. Each team will be issued a packet of historical documents and other clues about the ghosts, where they can be found, and what each one needs to be able to move on to the next life. Each team will also have a ghost detection device (iPad) which can view ghosts invisible to the naked eye.
Ghost Grabbers outdoor team building program details and agenda
Teams attempt to accumulate as many points as they can in this fast-paced team strategy event. Several challenges with varying point values are arranged throughout the site for teams to overcome at their own pace. Although presented as a competition, the goal is for each team to earn as many points as they can, so cross-team collaboration is always possible. Requires a large empty ballroom or similar space when done indoors.
Teams create the fastest, most original go-kart they can out of a selection of materials that offer a wide range of possibilities. Their problem solving and creativity skills are proven as participants actually race their vehicles, powered by fellow team mates, through a unique course.
For groups of 20-40 participants. Requires a large empty ballroom or similar space.
The format of this event is similar to Expedition, except this program can be held at an office park, hotel or other "urban" environment. This adventure illustrates the importance of good planning, communication, and utilization of resources to achieve team success. Your team undergoes an important recovery mission into an area contaminated by biological hazards. Team members use a map, compass and GPS to find several sites that contain "toxic" items that need to be retrieved. When teams arrive at each location, they find unique challenges they must engineer a solution to, using only the resources they decided to bring with them.
The Tiki Games are a collection of wild and action-filled events that will have your group laughing and strategizing together in a series of hilarious competitive events. Each Tribe competes for their team honor, while trying to eliminate, or conspire with, their opponents! The winning tribe is gauged by overall success, not elimination, which keeps everyone involved right up to the ending ceremony. Afterwards, the group talks about being an indispensible team player and being committed to doing what ever it takes to help your team to triumph.
This is a boisterous and outrageous team event that will have your group laughing and working together in a series of very unique competitive events. Each Viking Clan competes for their honor, and the glory of victory! The wide variety of activities will give each person on your team a chance to shine. Afterwards, the group talks about being a true team warrior and going the distance for your team. Requires a large ballroom or similar space when done indoors.
A fun program that gives teams a chance to show their creativity and give back to the community. Teams of 8-10 people are given a wide assortment of materials and non-perishable food items which they use to design and build their own miniature golf hole. Teams then take turns playing the other teams' holes and rate them to earn food items which will be donated to a local food pantry. Can be done indoors or outside.
The team is taught how to use a map, GPS, compass and other tools (known as orienteering) in order to find as many hidden sites as they can. Along the way, they have other fun brainteasers, trivia and photo challenges to tackle, and some hands-on challenges to complete at a few of the destinations. Planning, integrating various skill sets, and effective use of time are the determining factors of success.
A Juggernaut is an unstoppable force, and this event is designed to help your team become just that: unstoppable! The focus is on the team supporting each other and making group decisions as they tackle a series of tough challenges. Mutual support, sharing control, and coaching for shared success are necessary to accomplish the tasks. This is the perfect program for teams that want the challenge of a ropes course, but with more focus on teamwork.
Atlanta Challenge offers challenge course programs for business groups, student groups, and organizations. These programs help your team learn to rely on each other more though a series of cooperative problem-solving activities less than 3 feet off the ground.

Whenever I try to download Skype, the Ubuntu Software Center gives me the message:
"Wrong architecture 'i386'" and no more information and nothing further happens.
What does that mean and what can I do now?
Would be nice, if you can help me.

You need to install multiarch support for your linux distro. Not sure how to do that manually, it usually comes when you run Ubuntu Software Update.
Run this in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install multiarch-support

I already have the multiarch support but I can t install skype for the same reason

Larry Drain has been writing one letter per day to Tennessee's Governor Haslam on May 19, 2014.. His short messages emphasized a single important theme. The letters speak to the needs of thousands of Tennesseans for health care coverage. Larry models a form of communication that is often absent from the Governor's office: informed response, mutual respect and dialogue. He speaks to concerns of funding, veterans, public responsibility, integrity, and so much more. On December 15, 2014, Larry stopped writing letters to the Governor as his 134th letter closed with "Today you give me hope." Larry was speaking to Haslam's announcement of Insure Tennessee which hopefully will allow Larry and Linda Drain to live together again. They separated to maintain Linda's health coverage. That was and is the system we have in Tennessee. But now there is a possibility that those who need coverage the most will have the access and opportunity they need.
Oh, and Larry is not silenced. He has started down another path: "Dear Legislator". He will be writing until the Legislature goes along with the Governor.
Larry's voice is powerful and deserves to be shared widely. You can join his blog and receive daily messages. You can post your own letters. You can forward his messages to others. Click here to visit Larry's blog.

Respond to Review of Gong De Lin - Godly - Nanjing Rd
by radheshyam
Review: It is very easy to find. Go to People's Square station and direct to Marriott Hotel. It's right after that. The atmosphere is good. Menu doesn't have pictures, very difficult to know what will you get. We started to choose with soup, it was tasteless then we took some mix veg, it was snivelling as well as a soup. The portions are small. Then I took tofu with veg pork thinking to get some taste with pork, they brought just soft tofu. I asked about pork they said no pork, we are veg restaurant. :-) But why do you have it in your menu? I know you're veg, that's why I came and I had a veg pork in every restaurant in Asia. We took 5 dishes and left almost everything on the plates and left from there being hungry. [edit by staff]

It's time to peel, slice, squeeze
Citrus bumper crop bears creativity
|A citrus bumper crop bears creativity making it time to peel, slice, squeeze and experiment. (Glenn Koenig/Los Angeles Times/MCT)
I'm writing this column having just spent an hour with our local fruit gleaner picking tangelos from my tree. We must have pulled at least 40 pounds. Earlier in the day, I'd picked an additional three dozen pieces of fruit for recipe testing. And the danged tree still looks like it hasn't been touched.
This time of year in Southern California is an embarrassment of citrus riches. We've got so many tangerines, oranges, lemons, grapefruits and tangelos in my neighborhood that it seems impossible to figure out what to do with them all.
One solution, of course, is gleaning — that's where volunteers harvest backyard fruit for donation to food charities. There are several such organizations in Southern California; Food Forward is one very good one.
Then, of course, you can always eat what's left. Here's the odd thing, though: Considering how much citrus we have just hanging around, there aren't nearly enough ways to use them. Unlike oranges, tangerines and grapefruit, recipes don't grow on trees.
So once you've tired of peeling all that fruit and eating it out of hand, what do you do? Here are a few ideas:
One of my favorite ways to serve citrus is in a fruit salad. This isn't your grandma's mixture (or maybe it is, if she was a really good, slightly fussy cook), and it's really too simple to justify a full recipe.
Peel and slice the fruit into wheels — the more types the merrier, so you'll get a nice combination of colors and sizes. Then just dress them with a simple syrup made of sugar cooked with water until it's clear. Use ½ cup to cup sugar for every cup of water, depending on your taste.
Well, it doesn't have to be quite that simple. Steep herbs or spices in the syrup while it's cooking. Vanilla is almost always a great match for citrus; cloves are too. And adding just a little honey adds a sweet muskiness.
Or you can get really creative and use different kinds of teas. Chamomile adds an herbal note. If you can find a really nice jasmine tea, that adds a spectacular floral fragrance. This weekend, I finished a big meal with a salad of blood, Cara Cara and navel oranges in a syrup flavored with orange zest and a good pinch of smoky Lapsang souchang tea. That's one I'll definitely use again.
Just be gentle with the seasoning; you want to accent the flavor of the citrus, not disguise it.
Citrus sorbets are just one step more complicated, and they're terrific either by themselves or in combination with fruit salad. Start with that flavored simple syrup again — this time equal parts water and sugar. You'll want about 3 cups of syrup for every cup of juice. Freeze it in an ice cream maker or in a cake pan in the freezer — the crystals will be coarser, but that's refreshing sometimes.
Be sure to include lots of zest in the syrup. One thing to remember when cooking with citrus is that there is a big difference in flavor between the juice and the zest. You'll almost always want to use a combination.
The juice primarily carries the simple flavors of the fruit — sweetness and tartness plus the broad character of the variety. The zest, where the fruit's oils are, carries the complex flavors. You can extract them by simmering the zest in a syrup or by simply crushing it with sugar. A bowl and a spoon work just fine for this; just rub the peel and sugar together until the sugar is saturated with the color of the fruit.
One thing that does make it easier to find recipes to use up citrus is that, even though the various fruits are quite distinctly different, they can be used more or less interchangeably in cooking. If you've got a favorite orange sorbet, you can easily use grapefruit to get a different but very good dessert.
Total time: 20 minutes, plus chilling time. Servings: 4
1 tablespoon finely grated tangelo zest (from 2 to 3 tangelos)
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups freshly squeezed tangelo juice (from 10 to 12 tangelos)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon orange flower water
1 ½ teaspoons honey
1. In a small bowl using a fork or spoon, smash the tangelo zest with the sugar to moisten the sugar with the fruit's aromatic oils. Transfer the mixture to a 1-quart heavy-bottom saucepan along with the cornstarch and a tiny pinch of salt. Whisk in just enough of the tangelo juice to make a smooth slurry, then add the remaining juice and whisk to smooth.
2. Place the pan over medium heat and gently bring the mixture to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently, until the juice has thickened, just a few minutes. Cook for 1 minute more, then remove from heat and whisk in the butter, orange flower water and honey. This makes a generous 2 cups of pudding.
3. Divide the pudding among juice glasses or Champagne glasses and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
Each serving: 123 calories; 1 gram protein; 24 grams carbohydrates; 0 fiber; 3 grams fat; 2 grams saturated fat; 8 mg cholesterol; 18 grams sugar; 2 mg sodium.
Total time: 1 hour, 10 minutes, plus chilling time. Servings: 8
1 unbaked (9-inch) tart shell
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup sugar
½ cup grapefruit juice (from 2 large grapefruit)
1 teaspoon grated grapefruit zest (from 1 large grapefruit)
1 teaspoon Campari
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces
¼ cup chopped pistachios
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Prick the bottom of the tart shell lightly with a fork, line it with parchment or aluminum foil and fill it with pie weights (you can use dried beans and save them to use as weights the next time you bake). Place the tart shell on a baking sheet and bake until the rim of the tart is dried and set, about 15 minutes (timing may vary depending on the dough or brand). Remove the weights and the aluminum foil and return the tart shell to the oven to bake until it is well browned, about 30 more minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, beat the whole eggs, egg yolks, salt and sugar until smooth and light colored. Add the grapefruit juice, zest, Campari and butter and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter melts, about 5 minutes.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the curd is thick enough that it coats the back of a spoon and that when you draw your finger across the curd it leaves a definite track, about 5 minutes. The curd should be as thick as thick hollandaise. Remove from heat.
4. Pour the curd through a strainer into the pre-baked tart shell and chill until firm. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top before serving.
Each serving: 286 calories; 5 grams protein; 26 grams carbohydrates; 1 gram fiber; 18 grams fat; 8 grams saturated fat; 116 mg cholesterol; 14 grams sugar; 183 mg sodium.
Total time: 1 hour, 20 minutes plus cooling time. Servings: 8
1 unbaked (9-inch) tart shell
1 large Meyer lemon (about 6 ounces), cut into 8 pieces and seeded
1 ½ cups superfine sugar
½ cup (1 stick) butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Prick the bottom of the tart shell lightly with a fork, line it with parchment paper or aluminum foil and fill it with pie weights (you can use dried beans and save them to use as weights the next time you bake). Place the tart shell on a baking sheet and bake until the rim of the tart is dried and set, about 15 minutes (time may vary depending on the dough or brand). Remove the weights and the aluminum foil, and return the tart shell to the oven to bake until the crust is set but not completely baked through, about 10 more minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a blender, puree the lemon, sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. This makes about 3 cups of filling. Pour the filling into the pre-baked tart shell until the filling almost reaches the top of the rim of the crust; you may not use all of the filling.
3. Place the tart in the oven and bake until puffed and golden and the filling jiggles only slightly when tapped, about 40 minutes. The filling will brown around the edges but should not be overly brown in the center; if it begins to brown too quickly, cover the top lightly with aluminum foil and continue cooking. Remove and cool on a rack.
Each serving: 387 calories; 5 grams protein; 50 grams carbohydrates; 1 gram fiber; 20 grams fat; 10 grams saturated fat; 124 mg cholesterol; 39 grams sugar; 126 mg sodium.

The Acer Aspire Switch 10 is a budget hybrid that skips the more-common fold-back or button-clasp hinges and instead attaches its screen via a magnetic connection. It shares the same hardware limitations as other small hybrids, but can be easier to use.
Despite its decent features and handy Tap Control, there's no getting past the slow performance of the Olympus Stylus 1050 SW.
Other cameras may deliver better image quality and performance, but none can survive the range of conditions that the Olympus 1030 SW was designed for.
If you need a camera that you can take snorkeling or skiing, then the Stylus 790 SW might be just the ticket, but you can find better image quality elsewhere for the same price.
For those who need a tough, waterproof, and ultracompact digital camera, the Olympus Stylus 720 SW's strengths outweigh some frustrating usability issues.

5 weeks pregnant! When do you typically start to show?
You ususally start showing around 26 weeks but trust me it sucks because thats when al your cloths start to not fit and your all unconfertable sorry for being negative Im due this coming wednesday and Im so ready for this to be over I want my body back lol
I started to show around 15 1/2 weeks, this is my first. But it's truly different for everyone. I have a neighbor that is 2 weeks behind me and she just started to show at 23 weeks on her second! Typically it's the other way around, FTMs will start to show between 18-22 weeks and moms who already have kids will start to show anytime from 12 weeks on.
You may have some bloating earlier than that which looks like you're showing, but it will all go away again before you have actual baby bump. (I was so excited to be "showing" I went out and bought and wore maternity pants at like 9 weeks because they fit because I was bloated. Then 2 weeks later I couldn't fit them anymore because it had gone away.)
When to tell family is completely up to you. DH and I told immediate family around 6 weeks. We told extended family around 9/10 weeks. And then we posted the news on facebook at 13 weeks. Everyone has different opinions for when to tell. Whatever feels right to you, go for it!
Good luck!

Change Begins With Boys
Q&A with Amabo Divine Ngwa
Amabo Divine Ngwa was on a path towards a violent future before a mentor showed him a different way. Now he's reaching out to boys in Cameroon to stop gender-based violence before it starts.
"Just as I have a sister who I don't want someone to batter on, I don't want to batter on someone's sister."
When Amabo Divine Ngwa addresses a group of boys as an anti-violence workshop facilitator, he usually incorporates an example of how not to behave. He tells them a story about a directionless teenage boy who took out his frustrations with the world on the girls around him before he finally turned his life around.
The story is his own.
While he's not proud of his history, Amabo believes that sharing it helps struggling boys relate to his message. And he hopes that when they see the man he has become—a 30 year old founder of a youth-led NGO, a human rights campaigner, and an outspoken supporter of women's rights—they can imagine positive roles for themselves in their communities.
Like many in Cameroon, Amabo grew up in a large family. As the fifth child of seven, and the first boy, he lived under the shadow of his older sisters. Lost, he began to drift into a pattern of violence. It was a male mentor in secondary school who helped him imagine a different path for his life and sparked in him a lifelong commitment to combat gender-based violence. Today Amabo is working and studying in South Africa, while serving on the board of the organization he founded, ORFEDAV Cameroon, a network of young people working in youth development and mobilization. He hopes to reach as many troubled young men as possible before they become perpetrators.
What led you to abandon violence?
The violence started towards my siblings, and it extended to school and into my community. It began to change gradually when I participated in a UN-based program in our school where they would talk on issues of human rights. When I went to secondary school I learned more about human rights. Three years into secondary school I started participating in workshops empowering youths on issues of violence. Every workshop seemed like a message directed straight to me.
The real turning point was in one of those workshops when I met the man who would become my mentor, Mr. Etali Genesis Akwaji. I would visit him regularly in his office and in his home. I had actually wanted to adjust my ways all along, but I needed the right person to help me to change. He taught me that my victory and my peace is all inside me and doesn't come from other people around me.
And now you are mentoring others…
After several interactions with this mentor, I realized that I could also be a respectable person in society. I saw in my class other guys who were going through similar struggles as I was. I became a mentor for others while still in secondary school. When these guys wanted to date a girl and she refused, she would become the enemy and they wanted to see her cry every day. I gathered together guys in my class, in my social cohort, into a kind of club and I would talk with them. I asked, "If you have a girlfriend and someone tries to hurt her, what would you do?" They said they would fight and even kill the person. I said, "Okay. Now think of dividing yourself into two people and consider one side hurts your girlfriend and the other side is fighting back. How do you fight with yourself?" I told them, this is what you need to do every day. Tell yourself the lady you see in front of you is as human as you are. No one had spoken to them like this or made them think in this way before, and they started following my example.
What do you believe are the root causes of the violence against women that you see in your community?
Men fear being dominated by women. There are different social levels at which gender-based violence really shows itself. At the level of a relationship the guy feels, "Okay I am the one providing and so the lady has to listen to me." He doesn't understand that it's not about buying the relationship; it's about sharing. Also, as a society, as Africans, there are cultural norms which have reduced the woman to a certain place in the community, above which she has no voice. There is also that aspect of economic difference: Women tend to earn lower than men and it becomes a real issue. There is widespread ignorance about women's rights.
How can men help address these underlying causes?
Guys are more likely to listen to other guys, so it is very important for guys to take an active role in speaking up. I have seen gender segregation even in the offices of human rights organizations. When a lady brings up a point, some guys say, "Hey my friend, sit down, you do not have the right to talk here." When I joined a new organization called Hope for Girls Foundation, I could see that the few ladies in the organization tended to be a little quiet when it came to contributing ideas, while the guys would always be the ones to talk.
When I'm meeting with the men in the organization, I remind them, "you are working with ladies for ladies. Girls understand the problems of other girls more than we do as men. And so we should give girls and women the platform to really express what they are feeling." This has really changed the scope of the organization. Now the ladies on staff are speaking up more and the girls involved in the initiatives are also empowered to contribute ideas.
Today you are still mentoring boys and supporting the empowerment of women and girls. How is this work perceived in your community?
I will tell you, it's not an easy task. But when you sign up for it, it is because you know what you want from it. I was trying to understand social concerns and my male friends would tease me for how much time I was spending hanging out with ladies. There is that reproach that comes from men. Especially when we sit in a gathering and I voice out truths on promoting ladies and their rights in society. It becomes a total war. I don't care. Just as I have a sister who I don't want someone to batter on, I don't want to batter on someone's sister.
It doesn't matter to me at all if they say about me, "this one is on the ladies' side." If you have a conscience as a human being then you will understand where I stand. And if you don't understand, it doesn't mean much to me because I know why I am doing this work.
What is your ultimate vision?
I want to see a smile on the face of every lady. And I don't mean just any type of smile. There's a smile where you hide your tears because you don't want trouble, and then there is the genuine smile that comes from the heart. I want to see every lady smile from her heart. Today, I am a happy person knowing that what I started as a youth is yielding fruits. Much can still be done and I hope to see this work with young people spread widely across the country, continent, and the entire globe.
Dear Amabo,
What you are doing is courageous, and critically important. It is so hopeful to know about your personal transition, and to have details of how you are creating change. Thank you for your work, and thank you for working toward every woman having a genuine smile on her face. You have given me one today, just knowing what you are doing.
Hello Tam,
Thanks for the acknowledgement. It is in my best interest to work for a better world, because our customs and norms of society seem to exclude the impact women and girls could add if given the opportunity.
The battle is on, and we keep striving through it.
I think what you are saying is an extremely important issue to discuss. Most organizations focus on women, which i think is vital to the situation, but without men on board we will be stuck in a cycle of women demanding more rights and men fighting them on it. I think the idea of role models is brilliant. For young men to have a change of heart they need to see that their elders are on board and will support this change. great work! -Cara
Hi Cara, Taking a good look at the direction of gender violence, more work is done on talking to victims, yet very little is done to counter the perpetrators of this very violence. If the ply could some how be redirected to men, I think we would achieve this aim. Amabo.
I think you have shared an amazing story to be discussed among all the individuals and genders.As you said we are attached to our social norms where man think that they should keep them upper from the level of a woman. If men come forward to help women to overcome all the obstacles,the world would be changed in a peaceful way.We should teach our brothers,sons that they have to behave in a peaceful way and respect women.
Hi Ukheng, I think you do have a point and review from my view, yet I would gladly inform that dealing with men in matters of gender violence is a highly and uncompromisingly sensitive matter that not just everyone could handle. Imposition is one of those things that raise the adrenaline in men, so a lot of tact is required when working with men in such issues. I'm available to advise at anytime if need be. Amabo.
Thank you so much for sharing your story of enlightenment in action. I would like to see men and boys who do respect women form flash mobs to stand up for women and girls when they are assaulted. With modern technology, it would be possible for each girl/woman to immediately send out a signal that she needs males to come teach her perpetrator how to behave toward females.

Lemons! Another great natural product. Squeeze the juice from a lemon and use a cotton ball to soak up the juice and apply it on your face, avoiding eye area. Leave it on for no longer than 2 min then wash away completely. It stings a little, but it shouldn't be that bad. I find that I have to use it once daily to notice results. I do notice that some scaring is slowly starting to fade, but mostly the newer scars. It evens out pigmentation and I do notice that my skin appears alot softer and brighter too. I took off a lippy because it can sting a bit, but other than that I don't really have anything bad to say about it.

This is my fourth day on the lemon train and I have to say it really works. My problem is the instinctive attitude that if a little is good, a lot must be better, despite poor results from this philosophy (see also binge drinking, eating whole blocks of cheese in one sitting, eyebrow plucking etc) and in this case, the lemon juice resulted in a small rash around my nose and mouth. I had been enthusiastically squirting the bottled juice onto a cotton pad and rubbing it all over my face without rinsing it off. After two days of doing this morning and night, my poor face fought back and is now on the mend. However, what it has done in that time is bleach the blackheads on my nose out of existence. In this respect it is a complete triumph. The tip of my nose usually looks like a pincushion and nose strips only tore the top layer of skin off, leaving the offenders intact. The pores on my cheeks have also looked cleaner and less congested. Old acne scars have faded slightly too. But be prepared for a strong burning sensation - which I almost enjoyed, because it seemed like then it MUST be working - and potential rashiness if overdone. I think the best way is to be patient for results and use it before bed, either diluted or rinsed off afterward, to give your skin a chance to recover while you sleep.

I am very pleased.
I've been using lemon every morning for the past week and the result is; my little bumps on my chin underneath my lip are ALL SMOOTHED OUT. Not only that, but my stubborn whiteheads and blackheads on the crease on my nose have literally come off as I was wiping down my face this morning. Excellent, excellent results, and I don't understand why people need to run and buy products they don't need and are very overpriced. Just look in your kitchen!

ever since a large pimple on my cheek left me with a pigmentation scar i have been looking for something to lighten it. i was really mad at getting the scar as prior to that my skin was pretty much fully clear and no coverage was required day to day. i stumbled upon the usage of lemon juice here and decided to give it a go. for reference i use the bottled stuff as i cannot be bothered to squeeze a lemon daily (i mean c'mon, im lazy as hell) and although my scar has been lightened somewhat (i have been using this for a month now and really the lightening speed is sorta slow), the biggest difference i have noticed is that i didnt get anybreak out this month around that time of the month ( i used to get break outs all the time around then).i use my lemon juice in place of a toner and yeah, hopefully i will get rid of that damn scar soon lol

So I have used this about 4 different times on separate occasions over the last couple months. Just sorta randomly when i thought of it and had lemon on hand. The way i use it is i cut a quarter from the lemon and squeeze as much juice as i can into a little bowl and then completely soak a cotton pad and run it across my face for about 5 minutes or until it stops stinging, I might even dip it again and go over my face again. First it does definitely stings its lemon juice but it doesn't burn (redden and heat) like other acids or like benzoyl peroxide would, As for the results? they are pretty great for a product this natural and this cheap. I definitely notice my skin looks a little brighter and clearer the next day but I find its more of a difference in feel. The next morning my skin feels so smooth and tiny little bumps are totally smoothed out. My skin will also feel incredibly balanced like not oily, not to0 supple/ water logged and not to dry or tight. It just feels normal, soft but matte. I do however find that gylcolic acid peels give the same feeling and seem to do more for the look of my skin, marks, clarity and such. However If you really want to save money this is definitely, definitely the way to go as the results are very comparable. However I am trying to think of a way to work this into my routine for the vitamin c. (I use ether a mild bha, aha, or retinoid product about 5 nights a week alternating between them and then use a higher potency peel about once a week )

So after reading this section and thinking vit C serum is ridiculously expensive, I decided to give it a try. I used full strength lemon juice (from a lemon, 39 cents each) on my face, neck, chest and arms. Oh, the ouch factor is there! But it quit after about 15 min. I left it on over night under my moisturizer and stuck to my pillow a bit. It did a nice mild peel and I'm none the worse for wear. I want to keep some brown spots at bay that have recently showed up so I will keep using, but maybe a bit diluted. Will post an update.
PS. someone wrote they have a lemon tree in their back yard, W"OW! I'm from Canada and we're buried in snow at the moment :)

not to be disrespectful in anyway to the prior reviewers here but i just had to giggle a little reading these. i've been using lemon juice both on my face and on my nails for years with great results. my grandmother did the same thing since i can remember., she always had beautiful natural white nails and great skin.
s@rew buying that $120.00 jar of overpriced, overhyped, fix everything that's wrong with your skin crap cream that never delivers at the cosmetic counter. they can keep it for the next sucker. i'll be getting mine at the grocery store.

Gee whizzzzz..... that's just a miracle. I am actually writing this after I was applying the lemon juice cca for 1 hour or 2...
I woke today and I nearly passed out when I saw myself in a mirror - there was a pimple of course. Not a really big one, but still...I go mad every time I break out. So I decided to use a pure lemon juice, which I applied with a cotton pad. And now, in the early afternoon, the pimple's almost gone. It' still a bit noticeable that the surface is not perfectly even, but all the redness has disappeared and I don't even need a concealer.
Great job indeed.
I'm planning to use lemon juice as a toner before I go to bed, maybe it will help with my acne scars (they're not so bad, but I want my skin tone to be more even though).
I'll update when I see the results or if anything goes wrong.
UPDATE: It works, that's true, but it's not such a miracle I thought it was. Overall it's a good alternative to some effective and expensive treatments. Nevertheless, I can't help but mention that it IS quite harsh indeed.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

I was searching for a toner here to buy and stumbled across lemon juice as an option.
I thought "why not, it's not like I'm going to waste quite a bit of money on a product that isn't going to work".
Just a bit of background on my skin. I'm 30 and have combination skin, oily t-zone with blackheads on my nose and have acne troubles since highschool. I have some acne depressed scars. I still get the occasional cyst acne and those pesky small underskin pimples that don't always come to a head but sit there for sometimes 2 months or more arrghhh!!!
I've made my own lemon toner concoction of 1/3 strong green tea, 2/3 lemon juice and a few drops of tea tree oil and use it every night. In the 2 months my skin looks clearer, I haven't had a cyst pimple in a while (oh gosh now that I've typed that I hope one doesn't come up, fingers crossed!) and the texture of my skin seems smoother and looks more radiant.
I keep my toner in the fridge as I think it will keep the vitamins more potent and it feels refreshing when I put it on my skin.
I still get blackheads and some of my scars are still there. I'm thinking my next batch might have more lemon juice in it.
I'm very happy with the results so far and I'm hopeful that my skin will get better the longer I use it.

Adam Schefter is reporting that the Philadelphia Eagles might have some interest in bringing Nick Foles back, and they'd be literally crazy to do so.
Among the many extensions the Philadelphia Eagles are currently working out, they absolutely have to figure out how to lock Malcolm Jenkins up.
The Philadelphia Eagles and DeMarco Murray were a somewhat strange marriage from the start, and now that Chip Kelly is gone, the time to sever ties has come.
Negotiations between the Philadelphia Eagles and Fletcher Cox may not be as far along as originally thought, but a deal is almost certain to get done at some point.
The Buffalo Bills and Robert Woods don't seem to be on the most solid of footing right now, but he'd be a great addition to the Philadelphia Eagles' roster.
Here are five out-of-the-box predictions for the Eagles' offseason that may surprise you.
The Philadelphia Eagles will need to replace Darren Sproles sooner or later, and Wendell Smallwood from WVU makes a lot of sense.
The Eagles roster was loaded with big names but couldn't consistently deliver the desired on-field results. As the offseason looms, here are five possible targets in free agency.
If you're an Eagles fan, it must be tough to watch them lose games they were favored in and make struggling teams look dominant, but they were able to create some pretty awesome memories as well.
What started as excitement fizzled as expectations crashed and burned. It was a rough year for the fans, but let's take a moment to acknowledge five guys the fans should be proud to call Eagles.

The 39-year-old Modano, who holds the NHL career scoring record for U.S.-born players, told ESPNDallas.com in a text message Tuesday that he was feeling OK.
Barring any setbacks, Modano would return before the end of the regular season. He has 13 goals and 13 assists for 26 points in 54 games for Dallas this season.
"We're going to miss him," Stars coach Marc Crawford said. "You think right away with Mike is his ability to settle things down in intense games and to make a big contribution on the power play. Our power play has struggled here of late and we'd love to have him on that unit. He'll be missed."
Dallas hosts the Western Conference-leading San Jose Sharks on Tuesday.
Information from ESPNDallas.com's Richard Durrett and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
