=====================================================

These are only a few of the many ripe mangoes that I had picked up from the ground. They had fallen from an old and massive 'Turpentine' mango tree that was brought from India for and at the request of inventor Thomas Alva Edison.

The name comes from the mild Turpentine-like smell that comes from the sap and the flesh of ripe and unripe fruits.

These mangoes are small, very sweet, very juicy but full of fiber on the seed. Needless to say, they are heavily infected with Anthracnose (the Black spots and patches on the skin).

Mango #6: HADEN #2 by 3Point141

4 5

Haden is the mango from which almost all of the Florida mangoes have been derived. Haden in turn is a descendent of India's Mulgoba mango, considered the mother of all of the Florida mangoes.

Haden offers the rare combination of stunning colors, no fiber and exceptional taste. However, it is highly susceptible to the Anthracnose disease. Mango research in Florida and elsewhere had since been directed towards developing Anthracnose-resistant cultivars.

Extreme Kayaking - Kayaking at Your Own Risk! by kayakingboats

4 1

Generally speaking, kayaking is something everyone can do. It does not require any previous knowledge or experience, and as long as you're in average shape, you can participate in this easy-going, tranquil experience out on the water. Another popular water activity is whitewater rafting. This on the other hand isn't so calm and relaxing, but more exciting and thrilling. You don't need any experience to try your luck at whitewater rafting, but you do need to be in good shape and be able to swim. Extreme kayaking is a sport that combines these two popular water sports, and is typically reserved for those with experience and confidence in raging waters.

Extreme kayaking can be done in many ways, but most experienced kayakers prefer to slide down the face of a waterfall and land into the busy waters below. Therefore, the equipment used in extreme kayaking differs greatly from that in classic kayaking. Extreme kayaks are built to withstand the rugged waters and speed. The most popular materials used to make these boats are fiberglass and Kevlar, making for a durable surface if scratched or damaged in any way. The boats range in size for extreme kayaking, from big enough to hold one person to twelve feet or longer.

menstrupedia.com/quickguide#slide7

Emotional changes that occur during puberty: With the onset of puberty, interaction of young people with their peers increases. These peer groups are very likely to get influenced by the popular media and culture and often pick up their dressing standard, language and behaviour from the popular culture. This leads to a gap between what is perceived as appropriate by the children and by their parents.http://menstrupedia.com/quickguide#slide7

Beginner's Guide To Whitewater Kayaking Gear by kayakingboats

Whitewater kayaking is the activity of paddling on moving bodies of water, typically rivers. The skills can range from a fun float trips to adrenalin exciting challenges. Whitewater kayaking involves the same basic gear used by all kayakers. Gear specifics vary due to circumstances and other variables involved in whitewater kayaking.

Kayaks built for whitewater kayaking, frequently called playboats, are generally made of durable and flexible plastic. Lengths vary from around 6 feet to as long as 12 feet, maybe longer. Newer designs tend to run around 6 feet to 7 feet in length. Personal kayak size and shape are determined by the user's height, weight, type of water the kayak will be used in and primary kayak use.

Whitewater kayaks for fun float trips do not need the features that kayaks used on dangerous river rapids must possess. New kayaks can cost from around $600 to thousands of dollars.

Paddles for whitewater kayaking are usually around 6 feet long. Longer paddles are best for fun whitewater trips on creeks or rivers while shorter paddles work better where quick movement is required.

Playboaters can get maximum power from bigger blades while medium blades are fine for creeks and general rivers. Spoon shaped paddles provide power for playboating. Wing blades were designed to get maximum power and require a special paddling technique.

Whitewater kayaking paddles are available in a variety of materials including fiber composites, fiberglass, carbon, plastic, wood and laminated wood. Each material has its own strengths and weaknesses. Boater size and paddling style will affect choice of paddle.

Type III Personal floatation devices (PFDs) include models that are specifically for kayaking. The best PFD is one that can be adjusted to fit snugly whether the user is wearing a tee shirt or a wet suit.

Many experienced whitewater kayakers suggest buying the best whitewater kayaking helmet that the budget allows. Function and protection are important considerations, even before style. For serious whitewater kayaking, there are helmets that look almost like those used in football. They feature face guards and offer more coverage and protection that standard kayaking helmets.

Resistant Neoprene is the best whitewater kayaking spray skirt material. UV rays, abrasions and stretching will affect the wear and lifespan of the spray skirt. Spray skirts must be easy to remove quickly in case of emergency.

Finding the Best Kayaking in Seward, Alaska by kayakingboats

2

Alaska is a beautiful state that longs to be explored. With beautiful mountain scenery, breathtaking landscapes, and crystal clear lakes and streams, it's no wonder that Alaska has become a top vacation spot in the United States. Alaska also provides the perfect opportunity to experience kayaking, particularly in the area of Seward. You are not likely to find a better place for kayaking anywhere in the world! Here you will find everything you only dreamed of seeing as you paddle through the calm and tranquil waters of Seward on your kayaking journey.

Lowell Point, located inside the magnificent Resurrection Bay, is a prime location in Seward for great kayaking. Here you will find abundant wildlife and aquatic animals along the shoreline of Caines Head State Recreation Area. You're likely to spot bald eagles soaring overhead, sea lions perched atop the jagged rocks that peek up from under the water, and grizzly bears as they feast on the leaping salmon inhibiting the creeks and streams of Lowell Point.

Kayaks, Kayakers and Kayaking by kayakingboats

Kayaking can be recreational as well as adventuresome. Kayakers are serious about their sport. Kayaks give them an opportunity to see the world from a different perspective and, if they so desire, to pit themselves and the kayak against Mother Nature's wildest rivers and rapids.

Basic Kayak Terms

Basic kayak terms include bow, bilge pump, bulkhead, chine, demo boat, dry bag and stern. The bow is the front of the kayak. A bilge pump is a hand pump used to remove large amounts of water from the inside of the kayak.

The bulkhead is a vertical partition inside the kayak. It's usually made of foam. It serves two purposes. It reinforces the hull and aids flotation. The chine are the edges of the kayak. The term refers to changes in angle.

A demo boat is a demonstration boat dealers use to allow kayak drivers to test drive specific models or styles. The dry bag is a waterproof bag used to keep items dry. The bag is available in a variety of sizes for large or small items. The stern is the back of the kayak.

Preparing for Your Kayaking Trip - The Basics by kayakingboats

1

While kayaking has quickly become a popular choice of water activity and recreation, it's by far one of the oldest forms of transportation. People have been traveling by kayak for centuries, mainly because it was once the only method of water transportation. But over time, it evolved from a necessity to a recreational sport, leading to the development of kayaking gear and accessories. If you are planning to participate in a kayaking adventure for the first time, you may be unsure of what you will need. Here are a few tips for finding the best kayaking equipment.

This is just one of several beautiful classic cars that we saw in Kaladar on Saturday. I didn't like the background so trying out the new version of PSE 9 I did a quick selection, inverse and gaussian blur. They have a quick out of bounds feature so I gave that a shot too. It was fast and easy so it looks like Elements has another fun feature that I just have to have :)
