How would you rate these bananas?
Posted this thread on the Banana forum with no replies yet-
I'm looking to purchase these bananas. Which do you prefer?
-Dwarf Red
-Misi Luki
Thanks for the help!
Dwarf Jamaican red is an excellent banana, red skinned/orangish flesh wonderful flavor. It is cold sensitive though but maybe in your area Rodney you could get away with it? Misi luki is a big banana plant, I dont grow manzano so I can't comment. IMO, dwarf namwah is the way to go and this is why, most homegrown bananas are going to be as good or better than you get in the store. A majority of banana plants, even the dwarf ones are still big plants and need staking when they have fruit. Dwarf namwah is very short when it blooms and has a pseudostem like a sequoia, no staking required plus no ladder to harvest. The bananas are smallish (10"?) with and orange tinge to the flesh near the core and a nice sweet tropical banana with a hint of green apple taste.
just my $.02
theyre all excellent flavored, cuban red and manzano both have a fruity flavor, manzano is probably better but is not recommended here because of fungus, dwarf red is such a beautiful specimen. i grow both. dwarf namwah and misi luki are very similar, in fact sometimes places misname them. they tend to have a more creamy sweet flavor then fruity sub-acid like manzano and red.
where are you ordering from? beware there are cheap places on the internet that will send you weak little suckers that may take a season just to establish roots. going bananas always has the best stock and sell you full sized corms/plants.
i bought 2 raja's from stokes and they drop shipped me 2 weak suckers from florida (stokes is located in Louisana)
i woulda ordered from going bananas but their ordering system sucks, you cant order online.. have to mail in that form.. im too lazy for that
That is a perfect size for banana fruiting. I have may be regular nam wah that fruit at about 10 feet tall and pretty hard for me to support it's trunk when the fruit get bigger. If I'm interested in your dwraf namwah what do we do? Where are you in California?
Red see me, if you still have some sucker from your banana especially dwarf namwah I would like to buy some from you. I have a banana bed about 5 sq feet and now only have 4 namwah from 5 feet down to 6 inches.

FRENCH GUIANA -- Northern Petroleum, a minority partner with Shell, provided an update for a four-well drilling program that has been committed to after the 2011 exploration success in the new oil province of French Guiana. The Zaedyus oil discovery well, GM-ES-1, encountered 72 m of net oil pay in two turbidite sand systems, successfully proving that the Jubilee play is mirrored across the Atlantic from West Africa.
The joint venture, led by Shell, decided to extend the exploration activities through committing to and funding a four-well drilling program and contracted the Stena IceMAX dynamically positioned drillship. The recently completed GM-ES-2 was the first exploration well in this current program and the drillship will be moved onto the GM-ES-3 location to drill the second well in the four well exploration programme.
The objective of the well is to explore for significant oil volumes in the fan, help determine the Cingulata subsurface model, possibly determine an oil-water contact, assess the reservoir potential in the north western part of the larger Cingulata fan system and better understand the potential of the entire block. GM-ES-3 is forecast to take approximately three to four months and operational performance should benefit from the learning experiences of the first two successfully completed wells.
Northern owns a net 1.25% interest in the offshore exploration licence 'Guyane Maritime'. Northern is in partnership with Shell, 45%, Total 25%, and Tullow Oil 27.5%.

We are delighted to announce a show with the brilliant Courtney Barnett at Concorde in Brighton on Friday 27 March.
Courtney Barnett puts a lot of effort into sounding effortless. Her songs are wild and wooly and wordy, her lyrics plainspoken and delivered like she's making them up on the spot. In 2012 Courtney started Milk! Records and released her debut EP I've Got A Friend Called Emily Ferris. Her second EP How To Carve A Carrot Into A Rose (2013) received international acclaim, taking her and the band, Dave Mudie (drums), Bones Sloane (bass) and Dan Luscombe (guitar) all around the world. In 2014 her EP's were re-released as The Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas. Court's debut album, Sometimes I Sit And Think And Sometimes I Just Sit is out 23rd March 2015, pre-order here www.courtneybarnett.com.au.
Barnett has a gift for turning mundane scenarios into gripping stories… brilliant (pre) debut – Pitchfork
Courtney Barnett is a remarkable new talent. – 4/5 TimeOut
Barnett's music builds on the wordy irreverence of mid-'60s Bob Dylan and a Byrds-ian blend of psychedelia, folk and country. – Pitchfork
What sets her apart is she's got a sense of songwriting that hearkens back to the creative burst of the late '60s. Specifically in California — her melodies and psychedelic harmonies remind me of the work of David Crosby or John Phillips. – Brooklyn Vegan

At a recent promotion for David Dhawan's Main Tera Hero, actor Varun said it was not easy to work with his father-director
"It was difficult because of his expectations and his methods of working. He obviously pushed me hard. The character I play is not who I am as a human being. My character in the film is high in energy both physically and mentally, he performs physical stunts and he is expected to be comical at the same time," said Varun who was in the city to promote the film with co-star Ileana D'Cruz. The film, which opens on April 4, also features Nargis Fakhri, Anupam Kher, Arunoday Singh and Evelyn Sharma.
The lip lock with Ileana was also challenging and awkward, Varun said. "What makes it difficult is not just the kissing, but that you have to make it seem funny. So every day we were challenged as actors." Ileana, he said, made him feel comfortable throughout.
"Both Nargis and Ileana have easy energies, and they're both different with their work. Honestly, I knew she had done a lot of work in the South and since she is more experienced I thought she would behave a certain way. But she was extremely comfortable to work with."
Working on Main Tera Hero was equally tough for Ileana, who found David to be a demanding director. "He expects the best from you whether you are an experienced actor or a newcomer. He does pressurize you but he is encouraging as well. His energy is so infectious that you'd want to surprise him, make him happy. It's a give and take. He is not difficult to work with, but he is demanding."
When asked if self-image plays a role in her choice of films, Ileana said it was subjective. "Tomorrow I could play a sex worker. I don't know if people will accept that, but I would do it for my own creative satisfaction. Doing something that's unlikely, putting myself into the mental and emotional space of another person is challenging. I would think of it from that perspective."
"But when it comes to commercial films like Main Tera Hero, which is a comedy and an entertainer, I think about the audience, if they would like watching me and the film, as a whole."
Ileana said Ranbir was the best co-star but she is partial to Varun because of their friendship. "Ranbir is a brilliant actor, he pushes you to perform. Shahid and I also worked together, he's easy and light-hearted. But Varun and I really work because we're good friends, we discuss everything. We are open and we tell each other where we are going wrong, what we felt wasn't right about each other's performances."
And working on Main Tera Hero, for Varun was an emotional choice too. "I didn't take up the film for commercial reasons. The director is my father and I won't move away from that. This is his 43rd film and he's not getting younger, though this film has been the youngest in his career with the youngest cast and the youngest hero he's ever worked with. In a way, it's a chance for him to connect with today's youth and that's his attempt as a filmmaker."
Keywords: Varun Dhawan, Main Tera Hero, David Dhawan, Ileana D'Cruz

Water Technology / Treatment
Water infrastructureEarthquake-proofing L.A.'s water infrastructure
Since Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti announced his earthquake-safety proposal in December 2014, public attention has focused on requirements to retrofit old vulnerable buildings, but the plan also calls for fortifying the city's vast network of water pipes and aqueducts. Water infrastructure is "the single biggest vulnerability we're facing in Southern California," said U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Lucy Jones, who helped develop Garcetti's earthquake-safety plans.
WaterWorld population may outpace water supply by mid-century
Population growth could cause global demand for water to outpace supply by mid-century if current levels of consumption continue. It would not, however, be the first time this has happened, a new study finds. Using a delayed-feedback mathematical model which analyzes historic data to help project future trends, the researchers identified a regularly recurring pattern of global water use in recent centuries. Periods of increased demand for water — often coinciding with population growth or other major demographic and social changes — were followed by periods of rapid innovation of new water technologies that helped end or ease any shortages. The researchers' conclusions: Technological advances will be needed in coming decades to avoid water shortages.
WaterNew membranes deliver clean water more efficiently
Researchers have developed new membranes or micro-filters that will result in clean water in a much more energy efficient manner. The new membranes will supply clean water for use in desalination and water purification applications. The novel membrane technology uses layer-by-layer polymer assembly.
Water infrastructureU.S. water infrastructure in crisis as a result of lack of investment
Over the past decades, America's water infrastructure has deteriorated, lacking the much needed investment to secure and ensure the sustainability of a vital natural resource. An analysis of U.S. infrastructure investment shows that spending on capital improvements to U.S. ports, for example, has averaged $10 billion annually over the last ten years. By 2025, that figure will reach $20 billion annually. In contrast, U.S. capital investments in water supply and wastewater treatment was roughly $2 billion annually over the last decade. It is projected to reach just $3 billion annually by 2025. "Our water infrastructure is in a state of crisis that is only exacerbated by the effects of climate change, growing populations and demand. The longer we ignore the problem, the more it costs us," said Senator Ben Cardin (D-Maryland).
WaterCalifornia exploring water purification, imports, and conservation as water situation worsens
California officials are calling on residents better to manage their water usage as the state enters its fourth consecutive year of drought. An average American uses 100 gallons of water each day, and reservoirs in California only have enough water to supply this level of consumption until the end of 2015. In 2014 alone, the state's agriculture sector lost $2.2 billion in revenue as a result of the drought. State officials acknowledge that a heavy rainfall alone will not be sufficient to restore the groundwater the state needs, so water districts are investing in water recycling plants and exploring strategies ranging from importing water to encouraging greater conservation.
WaterDiminished Utah snowpack threatens Salt Lake City water supply
Studies of water use from 2005 to 2010 show that Utahans used more water for public supply than any other state, despite Utah being ranked the second most arid within the country. Significantly lower levels of Utah snowpack this winter are the biggest climate challenge now facing Salt Lake City: The Northeastern part of the country is inundated with record amounts of snow, but Salt Lake City's snowpack is 69 percent below the 30-year average.
WaterAverting global water crisis
Climate change is increasing the demand for desalinated water — by 2025,14 percent of the global population will be forced to use desalinated sea water — as greater evaporation and rising seas further limit freshwater supplies for a growing world population. Current methods to desalinate water, however, come at a very high cost in terms of energy, which means more greenhouse gases and more global warming. Carbon nanotube membranes have the potential to tackle the current and future challenges in water purification.
WaterThe quality of the U.S. groundwater
About 115 million people — more than one-third of the U.S. population — rely on groundwater for drinking water. As the U.S. population grows, the need for high-quality drinking-water supplies becomes even more urgent. The recently completed USGS's national summary report of the quality of the Nation's groundwater is now available online. Nine associated reports (USGS circulars) detail regional-scale assessments of groundwater quality in about thirty of the most heavily used principal aquifers across the United States.
WaterFunding water projects in times of financial uncertainty
Currently, water projects in California are partly funded with municipal bonds, some of which must be approved by voters. A new analysis produced by Stanford University's Water in the West Program provides a blueprint for overhauling the way California funds water infrastructure and innovation projects. The analysis recommends small per-usage fee — known as a public goods charge (PGC) — as appropriate way to pay for proper management of resources.
WaterRemoving iron from contaminated water
High concentrations of dissolved iron from abandoned coal mines in Pennsylvania have been contaminating some of the Pennsylvania's streams and rivers for many years, potentially affecting aquatic habitats and drinking water for millions of residents. To combat this problem, a team of Penn State researchers has proposed a method to eliminate much of the iron before it reaches the waterways.
DroughtsWarming pushes Western U.S. toward driest period in 1,000 years
Study warns of unprecedented risk of drought in twenty-first century. Today, eleven of the past fourteen years have been drought years in much of the American West, including California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona and across the Southern Plains to Texas and Oklahoma. The current drought directly affects more than sixty-four million people in the Southwest and Southern Plains, and many more are indirectly affected because of the impacts on agricultural regions. A new study predicts that during the second half of the twenty-first century, the U.S. Southwest and Great Plains will face persistent drought worse than anything seen in times ancient or modern, with the drying conditions "driven primarily" by human-induced global warming.
Water & superbugThe water industry needs to join the fight against superbugs
The fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria — so-called "superbugs" — is a huge challenge, one that the World Health Organization has described as a grave global problem. The problem of antibiotic resistance is being exacerbated worldwide by the pollution of waste water with leftover drugs, providing breeding grounds for resistant bacteria and their genes. The problem can persist for years, constantly refreshed by new discharges of both drugs and of resistant bacteria themselves, shed by people and animals. It is time for the health and water industries to strike a bargain. Health professionals need to be aware of the need for pharmaceuticals to be managed as organic and persistent pollutants. Tackling hot spots in "source control" such as hospitals and clinics could make significant inroads on the amount of waste drugs entering treatment plants. The water industry should ensure that treatment plants are operating under optimal conditions and that the older ones are either replaced or upgraded.
WaterDangerous levels of arsenic found in many U.S. wells
Naturally occurring arsenic in private wells threatens people in many U.S. states and parts of Canada, according to new studies. The studies, focused mainly on New England but applicable elsewhere, say private wells present continuing risks due to almost nonexistent regulation in most states, homeowner inaction, and inadequate mitigation measures. The reports also shed new light on the geologic mechanisms behind the contamination. The studies come amid new evidence that even low doses of arsenic may reduce IQ in children, in addition to well documented risks of heart disease, cancer, and reduced lung function.
WaterInvention slows water evaporation, generates energy
A new technology offers a positive environmental impact by slowing the evaporation of water from bodies of water such as mining tailings ponds and reservoirs, while simultaneously generating solar energy. The invention, called Hexocover, consists of floating hexagonal plastic panels that sandwich 4-inch balls linked together to form a cover to prevent evaporation. The panel design addresses the need for mobility through the inclusion of a propulsion system as well as GPS, so the panels can be built to be remotely configurable. Further, when configured with solar cells, the panels can generate electricity.
WaterChina's water stress to worsen with transfer initiatives
New research paints a grim picture for the future of China's water supply, as its booming economy continues to heap pressure on its natural resources. The study determined that water stress is only partially mitigated by China's current two-pronged approach: physical water transfers to water-depleted regions, including the major South-North water transfer projects, or the "virtual" water embodied in traded products between regions and countries.

A Swedish luge star about to get his US stripes
LAKE PLACID, New York (AP)Bengt Walden is entering his third year as a member of the U.S. luge team and it's certain to be unlike either of the others.
Red, white and blue are set to be his true colors. Walden will soon be an American.
Born in Sweden and married to American luger Ashley Hayden Walden, Walden will have his naturalization ceremony next Thursday in Boston, turn in his permanent resident card and vow to "bear true faith and allegiance" to the United States.
He'll soon get his first U.S. passport, then turn all of his attention toward representing America at the Vancouver Olympics this winter.
"It's a lot of pressure off me," said Walden, who passed his citizenship test on Wednesday. "It was very difficult. The time was getting short, we were very happy to get in for an interview and with the timing, I didn't have any room for error. So I studied hard, nailed the test, the interview went very well and I'm very relieved."
Walden spent nearly two decades racing for Sweden, met the American who would eventually become his wife around 2001, and his life wasn't the same again. Obtaining permanent residency status after the wedding - a green card, as it's commonly known - allowed Walden to race for the United States.
But to compete in the Olympics under the U.S. flag, Walden needed to become a citizen.
And with the international sliding season fast approaching - on-ice training is already under way at USA Luge's home base in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York - the Waldens didn't need a drawn-out, arduous process to take away from their Olympic preparations.
"It seemed like it worked out all too well to be true," said Ashley Walden, who was eighth in the 2002 Salt Lake City Games. "We're just, really, fingers crossed until Thursday, then we'll be able to sit down and have a sigh of relief."
Bengt Walden said one of the reasons why he pursued American citizenship was a lack of support plaguing the fledgling Swedish luge program. He's certainly proud of his heritage, owns a business in Stockholm and will still be known around the U.S. luge camp as "the Swede."
The results just weren't what he wanted; he was 23rd for Sweden at the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics.
In 2008, Walden was USA Luge's national champion, and clearly, being around a deeper team with tons of talent - Tony Benshoof was fourth in the 2006 Turin Games, Erin Hamlin is the reigning women's world champion - is paying off.
"It's always one of the bigger Olympic teams," he said. "People take sports very seriously in this country and it's cool to be part of that."

Young Adult/Teen
When Kaitlin Thomas finally overcomes her shyness, she's forced to do it in front of the whole world, but her best friend Melinda cheers her on as she finally dares to dream.
Download to your Kindle (eBook)AmazonBetty Jo Writes
This is a coming of age story. Dare to Dream is full of wonderful characters and scenes that will appeal to a preteen who is full of worry about her appearance. Kaitlin's wish for curly hair and her conflicting feelings about being a wallflower will make a young reader feel right in tune with the story.
"I can't believe you're crying in front of two hundred kids. My best friend Melinda Vest stared across the table at me. "Something really bad must have happened."
"Grossly awful. Totally terrible. The pits." We were sitting in the school cafeteria. I dashed the tears away with my hand. "Mom and Vic are planning a formal wedding. The big splashy kind with rice and music. And Mom wants me to be flower girl."
Mel shrugged and ate a potato chip. "Tell her eleven is too old for a flower girl."
"I'm not the only one who's too old! My mother is forty with a daughter in college, for Jake's sake. A big wedding at her age is embarrassing."
"Don't be so dramatic. My mother's thirty-five and had a baby this year. Try that for embarrassing."
"Thirty-five isn't as bad as forty!"
"Marriage isn't as bad as Rosie. I have to baby-sit."
"At least, no one's looking at you."
"Rosie spits up milk and dirties her diapers. I have to clean her up."
"That's really gross," I admitted, shuddering. If my mom and Vic had a baby, I'd run away from home.
"You like Vic, don't you?" Mel asked.
"Well, sure. What's not to like? Victor Margola is Italian with dark curly hair and good-looking. And he has a mustache. I love mustaches. Besides that, he's nice. But--"
"I win," Mel said, grinning. "Rosie is worse than Vic."
"Of course, she's worse," I screeched. "But I have to walk down the aisle in front of fifty wedding guests."
"So? Get out of it or get over it."
"Over what?"
"Being self-conscious. You worry too much what people think and say about you."
The bell rang and we went back to class, but I fumed all afternoon.
I am self-conscious, but get over it? Easy for Mel to say. Tall for eleven, she's African-American with skin the color of coffee ice cream. She's beautiful and wants to be a model. She walks with her shoulders thrown back like she owns the world. Me? I'm vanilla, plain, and shy.
More often than not, I have a zit on my nose. I lope instead of walk and sometimes I slump. And I don't know what I want.
All I know is what I don't want. I don't want Mom to have a fancy wedding. And I sure don't want to be a flower girl.

i do believe…
SHE is the beginning of everything, but SHE is beginningless.
SHE is causeless, but SHE is the cause of everything.
SHE is the light of this universe, yet SHE is non-light too and beyond it.
SHE is the divine beauty in the form of supreme joy and bliss.
SHE is mother of all.
SHE is the transcendent samadhi.
SHE is the inner jewel of mind.
SHE is the most auspicious one.
SHE bestowed me with consciousness and
SHE abides in my heart…

3rd Anniversary…
I am very glad to let you know that we are gracefully completing 3rd year of our learning journey today. "Known is a drop, Unknown is an Ocean" was started as knowledge sharing blog with the purpose to know our Self better, explore our Self further, listen our Self sharper, see our Self clearer and be our Self forever…
Each and every post here is step towards that journey… keep inspiring us to learn more… grow more… share more… and ultimately remembering us who we are…
On this note to take our learning and sharing to next step, I have added eBooks section today with "Mind – Its Mysteries and Control". Will be adding more interesting and thought-provoking eBooks soon…
Concluding with Rumi's words "We are not a drop in an Ocean, we are the entire Ocean in a drop" and Mamuni Mayans quote "As in Micro, so in Macro. The whole exists within the minutest particle and the minutest particle contains the whole. The atom contains the universe and the universe contains the atom, and neither exists without the other. Creator exists within creation, even as creation exists within creator." :)
Know me?
this moment, this breath…
Balance our life…
It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that our health problems are confined to the body – caused and solved by purely physical, "bodily" things.
In this short, helpful video, Kerry Tepedino reminds us that our health is in fact a careful balance of mind, body and spirit. She explains the connection between our physical health and our mental and spiritual wellbeing. She emphasises that how we do it is up to us, but cultivating happiness across the board is essential for balancing the chemistry of our body.
We are all holistic beings and in order to truly transform our health, we need to take all our whole selves into account, and account for each part.

I have on my local PC installed WAMP environment (using WampServer OS). Now I would need to change one script from working with MySQL to MSSQL. I have no idea at all how to proceed, where to download MSSQL, how to install it and how to connect with PHP? Thank you very much

Start by getting Sql Server working. If you are using an old copy of Sql Server (pre 2005) you will need to make sure ntwdblib.dll is present in your System32 directory, and removed from your PHP dll directory (ntwdblib.dll is installed with the enterprise tools, so you may have to install them on your PHP box as well). Once you have Mssql querying properly, start finding where Mssql differs from MySql in your code.

10 April 2015 - Istanbul, Turkey. The meeting will discuss the content and the direction of the ongoing review of the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance. It will also address issues of systemic importance to sustainable private sector growth, including the institutionalisation of growth companies and SMEs and capital market development in emerging market economies.
The OECD Trust and Business (TNB) Project is a multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder initiative that bridges the gap between international rules and standards for business and their implementation.
This report evaluates the corporate governance framework for the Latvian state-owned enterprise sector relative to the OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises. The report was prepared at the request of the Republic of Latvia. It is based on a review involving all OECD countries.
This programme focuses on the pivotal role that corporate governance plays for ensuring that the financial sector can serve the needs of non-financial companies in terms of access to capital for innovation, value creation and growth.
This report provides a comprehensive global overview of corporate bond markets since 2000 and experiences of governance engagement by bondholders. The report also analyses trends in secondary bond markets. It ends with a discussion about the scope for institutional changes that may build a larger community of truly informed and motivated bond investors.
OECD Corporate Governance Working Papers provide analysis and information on national and international corporate governance issues and developments, including state ownership and privatisation policies.
Les principes originaux, un des douze standards de référence pour la stabilité financière internationale du Conseil de stabilité financière, furent lancés en mai 1999 en réponse à la prise de conscience croissante de l'importance d'un bon gouvernement d'entreprise pour préserver la confiance des investisseurs et pour les performances économiques nationales.
The OECD has launched a review of the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance to ensure the continuing high quality, relevance and usefulness of the Principles taking into account recent developments in the corporate sector and capital markets.
Public comments received on the 2014/2015 Review of the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance
The Principles are being reviewed to ensure their continuing high quality, relevance and usefulness, taking into account recent developments in the corporate sector and capital markets. The OECD invited public comment on the draft revised text. Deadline for comment: Now closed.

"I never thought that I'd buy an appliance from a dealer 900 mikes away, but it looks like I am in good company!

We are delighted and will definitely be shopping for other appliances as needed, especially since we saved almost 20%!! Great concept and good people to do business with. Thanks!"

DEFINITION of 'Nevada Corporation'
A business incorporated in the state of Nevada, which is known to be business-friendly through its tax and corporate law statutes. Companies that incorporate in Nevada have several distinct advantages, including no state income tax, no franchise taxes, no personal income taxes and no succession taxes.
Another unique advantage of Nevada Corporations is that company officers and directors are well-protected against lawsuits arising from lawful business pursuits.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Nevada Corporation'
Nevada has become a well-utilized tax haven in recent years, drawing a large number of West Coast-based companies in the United States. In addition to public companies that choose to incorporate there, many private companies are attracted to the state because of its strong protection laws against hostile takeovers of a business.
A term known as "piercing the corporate veil" refers to the ability of a plaintiff to go after the personal assets of a company owner or director. While piercing the veil is rare in any state, Nevada is well-known for its strict adherence to the protection of personal assets and information.

Hobbs police officers responded to a fatal multivehicle traffic crash Friday on the Lovington Hwy near Hobbs, NM.
According to witnesses a white Dodge pickup, was traveling northbound swerving all over the road. The driver of the truck was identified as Keevisen James Gould, 27, of Red Valley, Ariz.
Keevisen then drove into the southbound lanes of traffic striking head on into a red Chrylser, driven by Priscilla Mungia of Hobbs, NM. The truck was then struck by a third vehicle after the initial head on collision.
According to Hobbs police, Mungia was transported to Lea Regional Hospital where she died as a result of her injuries. A six-year-old child passenger in Mungia's vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. The child's identity is being withheld pending the notification of next of kin.
A passenger in the truck was indentified as Shane Bestselie of Bloomfield, NM. Betselie was transported to Lubbock for advanced medical care related to his life threatening injuries.
Alcohol does appear to be a factor and charges are pending at this time.

Mobile DX Into VK1
I was pleased to hear the 20m band wide open this morning as I drove to work. I came across Matt -
calling CQ at around about 8.15 utc coming in loud and clear 5/9+ whilst driving over the moor tops. I put out a call back from my
mobile FT-857
and was heard first shout by VK1MA who gave me a 5/6 - 5/8 signal report. I was pleased with the good report as I only run 70-80 watts into my mono band Maldol antenna from the Yaesu 857. I couple of months back I opened up the hidden menu in the FT-857 and backed off a few of the default audio settings, I also added a bit of top end to my modulation. The /M radio reports that I have been receiving since the adjustments regarding my signal and audio quality have been very positive and I have been working lots of Stations whilst /M, enjoying it very much indeed. 73 Hope to work you on the bands soon! Keep HF Mobiling!

DX MACHINE Mobile On The West Coast
Today was a good day! I decided to take the family to the sea side for a little adventure. We left Yorkshire and headed west into the neighbouring county of Lancashire ending up on the west coast at Cleveleys which is very close by to the world famous Blackpool. As we arrived it was the peak of high tide and the waves were splashing nicely over the sea wall. I fired up my Coleman petrol stove and made a warming brew to compliment the stash of sandwiches Louise had knocked up before we set off. Even Dudley our trusty hound had his lunch by the sea side and a fun time was had by all.
DX MACHINE M0YKS Mobile
As well as having a superb view ahead the view behind wasn't bad either, in fact it was perfect I could see a playground/park directly behind the van which the kids would enjoy for 30 minutes. I decided I would take a look at 20m whilst the family were playing where I heard a lot of contest stations coming in strong to my mobile station. I have recently reinstalled my YAESU FT-857 after finding some of the hidden menu settings to be incorrectly set which I carefully set up in my shack to my preferred settings which have been working out pretty well over the past few weeks of testing with the Maldol mono band antennas.
I made some QSOs with non contest stations which was quite tricky as the band was almost full up of contest stations. I also got some of the 20 meter band activity on video as seen above where I make a QSO into HA land. 73 have a good Sunday!

Just a quick Thank You to all of you for passing by and supporting this Blog as well as my
Ham Radio Main Site
and a special thanks pictured above as a tribute to the first 20 entries to my main site visitors guest book.
Its half term at my local college which has allowed me to enjoy time with the family as well as play some day time radio. I have been enjoying calling CQ and will try my best to continue airing the new call whenever its possible especially throughout the next few days. This week you will be able to catch me on HF as M0YKS throughout the day as well as most evenings operating from the shack from around about 22.00 utc. Also some daytime activity is planned as M0YKS/M from my HF mobile " DX Machine" as seen below now running a couple of extra watts... 73!

World cup of travel: Where to go in 2014 - starting with Brazil
Thirty-two countries qualified for the Fifa tournament – but which will be our favourite destinations in 2014 and what do they have to offer that's new? Over a series of articles, Chris Leadbeater studies the form, starting with the hosts ...
Chris Leadbeater
Chris Leadbeater is a full-time travel journalist who has written for The Independent since 2009. He specialises in the USA, South America and Europe, but has covered destinations as varied as Mozambique, New Zealand, Indonesia and Lebanon. Prior to becoming a travel journalist, he worked as a music writer and for men's magazines.
Saturday 28 December 2013
The draw has been made, the schedule is complete, and the hyperbole pot is beginning to simmer. By 12 June, when hosts Brazil kick off against Croatia in Sao Paulo, the Fifa World Cup will be inescapable. And it will stay that way – a rainbow of goals, fouls, skill and skulduggery – all the way to 13 July, when the Final is played in Rio de Janeiro.
Yet you don't have to be a football fan to grasp the power of this quadrennial sporting bonanza, or to notice the spotlight that it shines upon the 32 nations to have qualified. In travel terms, each of them can expect an increased profile as a possible holiday destination. And, with this in mind, this series of articles offer suggestions on how you can, and why you should, visit them in 2014 – from France and Italy to Uruguay and Ghana.
Of course, the place in clearest focus will be Brazil. Twelve of its cities – from Porto Alegre in the south to Manaus in the Amazon rainforest in the north – will stage games across a country that is practically a self-contained continent.
If this sparks a desire to explore the country for yourself, then numerous options are available. For example, Discover Adventure (01722 718444; discoveradventure.com) will run a 10-night "Chapada Diamantina & Rio Trek" group trip that starts on 27 September and will spend six days hiking amid the flat-top mountains of Chapada Diamantina National Park, in the state of Bahia. It costs from £2,399pp, with flights. On a less energetic note, The Traveller (01285 880 931; the- traveller.co.uk) is offering "Footsteps Of The Gold Trail" – a 12-day group trip into Minas Gerais that will trace the routes forged by traders during the Brazil Gold Rush of the 18th century, visiting the state-capital Belo Horizonte and the mining town of Ouro Preto. From £3,695pp, including flights, departing on 22 July.
Match tickets have been selling swiftly, but a taste of the football is still possible. Chameleon Worldwide (01962 737606; chameleonworldwide.co.uk) sells a classic 10-day "Costa Verde, Rio and Iguacu Falls" trip (from £2,930pp, with flights) where you can add on a tour of Rio (£60) that calls at the Maracana stadium, the venue for the Final. Or, if you feel flush, Miraviva Travel (020 7186 1111; mira vivatravel.com) can arrange a seven-night break that includes tickets to two climactic games (semi-finals and final), from £11,100pp.

One in five third-graders have already cleared N.C. reading bar
Nineteen percent of North Carolina third-graders – and 22 percent in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools – don't have to worry that their scores on this spring's reading exam could lead to retention. That's because those children had already mastered third-grade reading when the year began.
CMS released results of the new beginning-of-grade tests as officials sort out ways to avoid holding students back or sending huge numbers to summer school based on test scores.
The state's Read to Achieve law, which aims to boost reading skills and end social promotion, requires third-graders who fail this spring's reading exam to attend summer reading camp or be retained.
The state recently ruled that students who had already hit a third-grade score on the fall test won't be penalized based on the spring test.
In CMS, 2,536 students cleared the mark at the start of this year. The state has also approved a number of other reading assessments that can be used during the year to demonstrate grade-level skills.

Refresh your bath with these dreamily plush and undeniably durable towels. You'll find a range of colors, from soft, earthy neutrals to brighter hues. Get more than you think you need — your linen closet will thank you. (As will those unexpected guests.)

Restock and refresh your powder room with these classic, luxurious options — all at great discounts. Choose from timeless neutrals or bright tones (or mix both).
Pajamas and lounge-y clothes are fine, but robes are just more ... genteel. As soon as you put one on you'll instantly begin to stroll rather than walk, and you might even pour a little tea (or scotch) and shut off your ringer. We highly recommend trying it.

As a decendant of the Mayflower and member of the society, my wife was honored to visit the home. It is beautiful and the people there were very welcoming and kind.
Stopped here with my daughter. We are Mayflower descendants, something I wanted my daughter to appreciate, so we stopped on our way to a Cape Cod vacation. As other reviewers have noted, the docents are very knowledgeable and friendly. We took the tour and enjoyed learning how the house had been modified over time. The group has done a nice...
The Mayflower Society House is a marvelous piece of architecture, furnished with items appropriate to it's age, and beautifully preserved. The stairway in the house is worthy of a visit all by itself! The docents are extremely well informed, and provide an excellent description of the history of the house and its owners. This is a Don't Miss!
This was so interesting. The layout of the library and the huge boat. The view from the windows were breatthtaking. Just beautiful.
You will find here all you want to know about the PIlgrims. The staff is very helpful in searching your potential Mayflower roots and will assist you in joining their Society should you qualify and desire to do so.
All of our research had already been accomplished so the library offered us nothing and the house, while mildly interesting, is not as interesting as many of the other homes we toured in the area.
A beautiful mansion that preserves this period and serves as a location for the Society. The Society has been very helpful in finding our roots and preserve the true heritage of these courageous travelers.
If you go to this house in the summer it can be very hot...but to see our history makes it all worth while...and don't forget those lovely gardens out back...beautiful
First be advised - there is no A/C here, BUT - it's definitely a tour worth taking. The home is breathtakingly beautiful. There is a bunch of history in this home and the women did a fabulous job explaining everything to us. Inexpensive.
Found records tracing my family back to the Mayflower and William Bradford. Found we were eligible for membership to the Mayflower Society.
