Duke's Weekend of Tartness - Day 2
The inaugural Scratch Bar "Weekend of Tartness" is set to go off on the 6/7 December. The sister festival to Scratch's massively popular winter Weekend of Darkness festival cartwheels to the opposite end of the extreme spectra of beer styles, with 2 days of nothing but the funkiest, sourest, most refreshing and fun beers being produced in Australia and around the world. "Berliner Weisse", "Gueuze", "Saison" and "Lambic" are just a handful of terms that will be bandied about as no less than 24 different sour and tart brews hit the taps across the 2 day festival. The beers have been sourced from throughout the country including some great brews from local brewers Bacchus, Newstead and Croft brewing. Some special and renowned international sours will also pop their head up including drops from Garage Project (NZ), Rodenbach (BEL) and Sierra Nevada (USA).
If all this sounds too much for the unseasoned drinker, fear not - a number of taps will feature specialty cider and some entry level examples of the style. Add in lots of summery fun, bad hair and fluoro, delicious food from serial Scratch collaborators and a bevy of pop hits to kickstart the approaching heat. The Scratch is going all out for this one of a kind event.
The weekend's festivities are free entry, 12pm-midnight both days.

N. Attleboro, MA – Health Enterprises, Inc., a leading manufacturer of niche health care products, is promoting two innovative first aid products at MEDICA – their Acu-Life Finger Injury System & Acu-Life 3-in-1 Finger Injury Kit with "Finger Buddies" (sold at Boots and www.boots.com) - for the treatment of minor finger injuries.
The Finger Injury System treats the 1st two stages of finger injuries. In Stage #1 a custom designed finger gel pack provides cold therapy to reduce swelling and relieve pain. In Stage #2 a comfort splint protects the recovering finger while immobilization is needed. Additionally, the finger gel pack can be warmed to provide targeted relief for arthritic fingers.
The "Finger BuddiesTM" treat Stage #3 – helping to protect and support jams and sprains that do not require a finger splint. The Finger Buddies offer consumers a better way to 'buddy-tape' injured fingers. In comparison to tape, the Finger BuddiesTM are easy-to-use, adjustable, reusable, and comfortable.
"Finger injuries affect people of all ages and abilities whether it is from playing sports (rugby, cricket, football, ect.) or an unfortunate accident", commented Brendan Leonard, president of Health Enterprises, Inc., "Our Finger Injury System and 3-in-1 Finger Injury Kit provide unique systems for treating these finger injuries and can be easily stored at home with other 1st aid items (plasters, ect.) for use when needed."
In addition to the Finger Injury System and 3-in-1 Finger Injury Kit, Health Enterprises, Inc. offers a full range of finger care products, including: Tubular Gauze, Rubber Finger Cots, Cot Splints, Gutter Splints, Cot Splints w/Velcro, and a Universal Finger Splint.

Its a strong build taking alot of armor pen and CD reduction. You are going to want to get early gank before creeps if not just sit back and look for openings. Standard charge with a stun and then Devastating Blow. Always let your partner know when your Diplomatic Immunity
is up so you can tank tower letting both of you attack champions at turrets(Remeber to keep flash so you can get away from turret after the 6 sec immunity). Also while using Diplomatic Immunity during team fights some times you may want to target some one running away and then start hitting the people in fights (This will allow you to kill targets that are with in range of killing with out taking damage).

The International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: from Nano to Macro (ISBI) is a forum for researchers particularly interested in the computational and modeling aspects of biomedical imaging. The focus emphasizes methodologies that have the potential to be applicable to multiple imaging modalities and to imaging at different scales. Topics include physical, biological and statistical modeling of biological and anatomical structures, image formation and reconstruction, computational image analysis, statistical image analysis, visualization, and image quality assessment. The meeting aims to facilitate cross- fertilization of methodologies between different imaging modalities and scales, with applications ranging from the nano, molecular and cellular levels through small-animal imaging to macroscopic and whole- body clinical systems. Whereas many medical imaging meetings focus on particular modalities, ISBI includes a diversity of methodologies applied to biological and anatomical imaging modalities, either emerging or well established. Imaging applications of interest include gene expression mapping, drug discovery and delivery, molecular imaging, functional brain mapping, computational neuroanatomy, cardiovascular imaging, and cancer imaging. A principal goal of the ISBI conference is to connect methodologies with important medical and biomedical applications, from microscopic to macroscopic scales. ISBI 2012, to be held May 2-5 2012 in Barcelona, Spain, will be the ninth in a series of meetings cosponsored by two IEEE societies: the Signal Processing Society (SPS) and the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS). The inaugural ISBI meeting was held in July 2002 and subsequent ones in April 2004, 2006 and 2007 and May 2008, June 2009, May 2010 and March 2011. The success of the previous ISBI meetings bodes well for the future of ISBI. The success of ISBI and its impact on the field, and indeed the future of the field itself, relies on training young investigators to work with state-of-the-art sophisticated computational or modeling tools and on informing the researcher community of the latest progress in medical imaging protocols and modalities. In addition, the inherently interdisciplinary nature of the biomedical imaging field means that no single professional organization has the majority of potential participants as its members. In this context, the tutorials series, covering very diverse topics and offered on the first day of the conference, is an important component, which has been very popular in previous ISBI meetings. This proposal requests funds to provide travel support for US-based young investigators (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early junior faculty to present contributed papers.
The topics of this conference are advanced imaging methods and technologies that have the potential to improve patient diagnosis and treatment in future medical devices and software.

Expand Messages
- thank you for approving my membership to the list. i am not in state
yet. will be moving to bonita springs (SW FL) at the end of
september. i have visited there twice. once in february & again in
april. i only saw (aside from aquatic birds) bluejays, mockingbirds,
& cow birds. lol .. is there anything else in south florida?
om peace!..
- Valarie,
Boy is there! As a professional field ornithologist and tour guide for the
past 20 years, I've lived in and birded many areas, but this is the first
spot I've ever lived where I can realistically go out ANY day of the year
and (with a bit of effort naturally) see over 100 species of birds. That is
a real treat especially coming from Alaska where the winters can be like
holding your breath if you're a birder. Never have you appreciated the
arrival of a Canada Goose more, let me assure you of that! I recently read
that FL is one of the "birdiest" states, behind only a few (California,
Texas, etc.) but it is unparalleled when it comes to habitat diversity. No
state has more recognized habitat types than the state of FL which is why it
is such a great place to bird.
As you mentioned, there is a plethora of water birds readily accessible in
and around Gulf Coast communities and you can find large concentrations of
shorebirds, gulls, terns, and of course the long-legged waders. Even in
summer, a simple trip to the beach can produce views of nesting Snowy and
Wilson's Plovers, Willets, with smaller numbers of lingering, non-breeding
Black-bellied Plovers, Turnstones, and Sanderling, while some of the
spectacular residents feed or rest nearby. Birds like: Reddish & Snowy
Egrets, Roseate Spoonbills, Royal, Sandwich, and Least Terns, and Black
Skimmers may line the beaches. Follow this with a trip to a place like
Babcock Webb WMA where you can see breeding Red-cockaded Woodpeckers,
Brown-headed Nuthatches, Bachman's Sparrows, Eastern Meadowlarks, Pine
Warblers, Brown Thrashers, Common Ground-Doves, Eastern Bluebirds, Eastern
Towhee (and note the unique character of the light-eyed Florida race),
Red-shouldered Hawk, Swallow-tailed Kite, Northern Bobwhite, Northern
Flicker, Downy, Hairy, & Red-bellied Woodpeckers, etc. Stop along the way
for views of other FL specialty species like Gray Kingbirds, FL Scrub Jays,
and Burrowing Owls!
Explore swamps like Corkscrew and Six mile Cypress Preserve for nesting
Barred Owls, Limpkins, and Wood Storks feeding amongst the Bald Cypress
knees, while the calls and songs of the many Pileated Woodpeckers, Carolina
Wrens, Northern Cardinals, and Tufted Titmouse ring throughout. Northern
Parulas are common in the canopies as they make their homes in the hanging
Spanish Moss. From Bonita it is a quick trip to the Shark Valley portion of
the Everglades NP. Here you can see Snail Kites and Limpkins, Least
Bitterns, Purple Gallinule, and King Rails, amidst the hoardes of alligators
and other wading birds. Make a weekend trip out of it and get into the true
hardwood hammock country of the Everglades and or FL Keys and find
carribbean holdouts like White-crowned Pigeon, Mangrove Cuckoo,
Black-whiskered Vireos while soaking up the beauty of these places.
Now as we enter into migration, the excitement of birding in SW Florida
increases. Trips to migrant traps like Sanibel and the like can be rewarded
by great days of birding. While the more adventurous might opt to make a run
to the crowned jewel of migrant traps, Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas
where you may see near 30 species of warblers while hundreds of Magnificent
Frigatebirds circle and the "Wide Awake!" calls of the nesting Sooty Terns
are the most common sound. You can add on specialty species like Brown
Noddy, Brown and Masked Booby, while enjoying all of the majesty of the
surrounding coral reef community clearly visible below the clear blue
So what do you think, do I have a promising future as a tourism brochure
writer if my current endeavors don't work out?!?..... ;)
If you have any specific questions regarding bird finding locally, don't
hesitate to contact me or (I'm sure) nearly any of the other very helpful
members of the local birding community. They were very helpful to me when I
moved down 6 years ago...... Of course, I may have ruined it for everyone
else, as perhaps they have learned from their mistakes after creating a
monster! ;)
Good birding,

Identity is what defines a person on who they are and what they are all about. Commonly identity is only labeled as male or female. Your personality and physical characteristic are just a couple of things that shape your identity. In certain situations, a person feels that he or she does not completely belong to a certain identity, i.e.: male or female. They usually feel either half and half or just completely the opposite of their appearance; this creates diversity and affects our economy. In the article I found, it explains how transgender usually become drag queens to feel out their gender identity. This affects our economy, and in the following paragraphs I will further elaborate.
A service is anything that provides a customer with something; in this case, the drag queen business is providing entertainment. By opening up a club of drag queen performances, it creates a service for people to come on in and enjoy the show. Not only that, but since people are working to become drag queens, some go to alter their bodies, using services of plastic surgeons.
In opening up the drag queen entertainment club, jobs are created. All the people in the club working are benefited because they are employed and being payed. In the article, Ross Wallace has been working in the drag queen clubs for the past eight years. Thus, showing that transgender brings about an increase of labor.
Since people wanted some sort of entertainment, the drag queen club was opened up. If there is a demand of a supply then it will be delivered. In this case, people wanted to see drag queens for entertainment, and they got it. Obviously they been demanding it, because Ross Wallace a female impersonator has been working on that for years.

Multiple award-winning, New York Times and number-one internationally best-selling author Peter Robinson returns with Children of the Revolution, a superb tale of mystery and murder that takes acclaimed British Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks back to the early 1970s - a turbulent time of politics, change, and radical student activism.
The body of a disgraced college lecturer is found on an abandoned railway line. In the four years since his dismissal for sexual misconduct, he'd been living like a hermit. So where did he get the 5,000 pounds found in his pocket?
Leading the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks begins to suspect that the victim's past may be connected to his death. Forty years ago the dead man attended a university that was a hotbed of militant protest and divisive, bitter politics. And as the seasoned detective well knows, some grudges are never forgotten - or forgiven.
Just as he's about to break the case open, his superior warns him to back off. Yet Banks isn't about to stop, even if it means risking his career. He's certain there's more to the mystery than meets the eye...and more skeletons to uncover before the case can finally be closed.

"Finally, another Banks novel + Simon Prebble"
It was narrated by Simon Prebble. I think I'd listen to Prebble read his grocery list.
It revealed how much the "influential" people in society can effect police investigations. Not a subject that everyone is pleased to see appear in print.Actually what I really liked best was that is was read by Simon Prebble and it was the next Inspector Banks novel in the series. I've read or even better, when given the chance, listened to them all. Listening to them is much better than reading them.
Every word. Simon Prebble is on my A list of narrators and if it wasn't for George Guidall, he would be #1
I don't listen to police procedural novels to be moved. Just the opposite. I listen to them to be entertained and the Inspector Banks series is one of the few being published.
Some of the reviews I read (on Amazon) were not very kind. And they were from fans of the Inspector Banks series. Comments like - "Dragged on...I've always enjoyed Peter Robinson's books but this is not one of his best." and "Having read all of the Inspector Banks books, I found this one to be dreary and dull..." Don't believe it. IMHO, no better nor worse than all the others, although Prebble's narration makes it better than those narrated by James Langton.If one looks at all the reviews of all of the Banks series novels words like "not his best" "dull" "slow moving" appear quite often. After all those comments, readers continue to read and listen. Peter Robinson didn't become #1 internationally bestselling author by writing dull and slow moving novels (22 by latest count).
"Interesting story, but Really..."
Yes and No, the story was interesting, but Banks was mixture of contradictions. Here is a character that is supposed to have a chip on his shoulder in regards to the rich, but in this story he did not act as expected. In the end, his whole behavior for the last 50 minutes of the book was ridiculous. Why would he act like he did after what happened to him, was not realistic.
The hidden story that the suspects were trying to hide.
He has definitely improved with each story, I finally think I can get back into this stories.
No, not really.
This author fills the pages with too much conversation between characters, and sometimes it can be a little slow.
"Love Peter Robinson's books"
This was excellent. I really enjoy catching up with Inspector Banks and of all the crime thriller writers I think Peter Robinson is the best.
This book follows the same theme as the others - had a string believable plot though.
Banks of course - always Banks.
the ending was particularly good.
"Not a Banks fan based on this book"
This was my first (and probably last) Ian Banks novel. I am always on the lookout for new mysteries, and I was particularly interested in the tie-in to 1960s-70s radical politics. Although the writing style is good, I found the plot weak and the pace tedious. The resolution depends on characters spilling their guts to police instead of just clamming up or saying "before we go any further I want to talk to my solicitor." Occasionally this sort of confessional splurge can be forgiven, but it is such a constant feature of this book that it becomes intrusive and annoying. Finally, as detectives go I found Banks a bit on the bland side. Chacun a son gout, I suppose.
"Banks delivers again"
Another extremely good Banks story. Well read and most enjoyable. Three more words to make this review submit.
After listening to Michael Page narrate an Ian Rankin, novel, I just could not stand listening to Simon Prebble. Its a real chore to listen to it any more. I should just have bought the book.
NO way.
I have not idea.
"One of the best of banks"
The writing has a clear simplicity to it with the focus on serial interviews with increasing complexity of motive.

Magic Manna Flour Corn VCO-3349
Bred for earliness, vigor, and resilience,
as well as flavor and cooking characteristics.
Solid colored ears of three basic colors—deep-red, tan, or white/peach.All make great cornbread. In addition, they excel at some separate uses:red for parching (like corn nuts); tan for savory dishes, and white/peach for pancakes, cakes, and cookies. You can use Magic Manna corn flour to make angel food cake using any standard recipe. Magic Manna flour can be used just like wheat flour in anything but yeast bread. Carol Deppe, breeder.BOTANICAL NAME: Zea mays
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:Prepare soil deeply and work in compost. Sow seed after last frost date.Best planted in succession. Plant directly into garden 15" apart. Corn must be planted in sections of at least 5 feet square to ensure good cross-pollination. Fertilize well. Let ears mature on the stalk until dry, then pick the ears. When they are totally dry, shell the kernels off the ears and store in a dry place. Freeze for a few days if there is evidence of insects eating the dry kernels.

General Motors has devised a third option to deal with issues and glitches on its vehicles that might lead to recalls or even vehicular accidents. Typically, a defect or glitch in a vehicle found when it was brought into a dealership could either lead to a recall or the carmaker could just disregard what was discovered.
The first option would have GM incur expenses in trying to fix the defect and have thousands of owners inconvenienced for a few days or even a week. The second option would have led to accidents, fatal or non-fatal. When a 2012 Chevrolet Volt was brought in for a warranty repair in Europe, an engineer discovered a faulty brake valve.
GM employed a third option -- assigning an engineer to look into a database that tracks the parts used in its cars, and it collected manufacturing records from the supplier -- in this instance, TRW Automotive.
Within a month, the carmaker was able to identify all the vehicles in the US with the faulty valve, called their owners and sent a formal notice to the US government.
Due to GM's prompt action, it only had to recall four vehicles. According to Maureen Foley-Gardner, director of field performance evaluation at GM, the carmaker has used its database for around 20% of field actions in 2013, and watched as the average action has declined by 40%. He remarked that the third option is having an impact. [source: automotive news - sub. required]

When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
I started writing stories in second grade and wrote stories and poetry through middle school. A creative writing teacher my junior year in high school got me into serious writing through the school literary magazine. Although, I think deep down I've always wanted to be a fiction writer, but my journey here took many tracks over the years. While I continued to write short stories in high school, pursuing a degree in history led to writing non-fiction and for a time, lyrics to the songs I sang. When family and career took priority, writing became researching and writing social studies curriculum for schools and national parks.
Then about 22 years ago, I sat down and wrote my first novel. From that point on, I went to writer's conferences, attended workshops, did a summer writing intensive at UW. And I pitched, queried and entered lit contests. While mulling over plots, I wrote some essays too. I don't think I identified myself as a writer until recently. Perhaps it was when I got my first story about being a rugby mum vs soccer mom published in Rugby Magazine in 2002. That was a great thrill. Then, in 2006, I won the top prize for non-fiction at Surrey International Writers Conference.
What are your thoughts on self-publishing?
The publishing world has changed so much and continues to act like the Wild West, but once it became less likely about having 1000 boxes of books in my garage, I took the plunge into indie publishing. In 2010, I self-published Tree Soldier, my novel about the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Great Depression. I haven't been disappointed. The novel went onto win the 2012 EPIC ebook award for historical fiction and the 2013 grand prize from Chanticleer Book Reviews. In 2014, it was a quarter finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel contest out of 10,000 entries. Tree Soldier is also now an audiobook.
So—yes!—I love being a hybrid author. I've had articles and essays published in traditional publications (Cup of Comfort series, The Sea Chest), and for some of the novels I've written, a traditional publisher could be the appropriate place for them. I certainly would want an agent to help with foreign rights, so I occasionally query, but connections and networking are now becoming the way to reach out. I use Twitter, circles in Google+ for daily news and take advantage of free webinars.
How did I do it? Well, I'm not sure if there is a best, best way, but for me, Createspace has given me the opportunity to create a book and have it professionally produced. They make a beautiful product (because that is what a book is). I used their templates to create the interior, but had it checked by a professional before the final upload for a proof copy. I have the covers done professionally and the manuscript edited. POD (print on demand) has made it possible to order the number of books that I need. The drawback is that though I have signed up for two different distribution systems so bookstores can order, there are no returns, so that often leaves me with consigning my novels. Yet one indie store, Village Books in Fairhaven has been so supportive, that it is all worth it. I can take the books on book talks, send them off to book clubs. (Yes, book clubs. I'm fortunate there. And they want a physical book)
I also used KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) and have both novels in that program. I did Nook for awhile with Tree Soldier, but they had poor support for authors (Amazon, the big guy, has a lot of help) . I also put Timber Rose into KOBO briefly, but was getting nowhere with that so pulled it. It's in KDP Select, but I may withdraw it and put it into other platforms. Audiobooks is the third form I've tried. I went through ACX and with the help of book clubs, had my narrator picked out of the auditions narrators submitted. I contacted my narrators directly in the ACX system to speed things up. I got my narrator, Jim Mentnik, before the change in royalty share went through. I'm marketing it right now, an entirely different animal to promote.
What is the best piece of advice you've received in your publishing journey?
Cultivate a supportive community which can include a critique group and writer's association. As you advance, be sure to reach back to help the writer coming up behind you. For publishing skills you don't have, hire someone. Book cover and editing are the top needs.
How long did it take to sign your first publishing contract and what helped you get there?
My first publishing contract came with an memoir essay I wrote, "Technicolor Dreams." It was published in the A Cup of Comfort for Women anthology in 2002. I eventually submitted five other essays to different anthologies in the series, four of which were published. Not long after, I began writing for Historylink.org, all paid work.
I guess the most things I've learned to reach the many milestones in my writing, is
- Network
- Share and support each other
- Submit your work to lit contests for feedback
- Write every day
- Read and write some more
- Don't be afraid to step out and try something new
What are you currently working on?
I'm working on a historical novel entitled Thatch's War. It's drawing on the experiences of my great-grandfather who was a Union surgeon at the Battle of Gettysburg. I've been researching Civil War medicine, did a work vacation at Gettysburg through the Friends of Gettysburg, went to the 150th anniversary of the battle to be there real time with my ancestor. I'm now studying the Civil War in the Pacific NW where the novel will eventually go. There was a lot of intrigue out here that's not well known and a lot of fun for a novelist to explore and write about. The novel is also exploring the Civil War version of PTSD. I'm about 20,000 words into it.
This past spring, I published Timber Rose, the prequel to Tree Soldier. This novel has received a "highly recommended" review from the Historical Novel Society as well as praise from a judge in the Self-Published Writer's Digest 2014 contest. Set in the same area 30 years earlier, Timber Rose, focuses on the life of a young woman who balances her heart and family with her love of the outdoors and climbing mountains in skirts. I think it is off to a good start. I'll be doing a four library book tour in late January. Another novel, The Jossing Affair, is in edits. My first ever novel, it is set in WW II Norway. It's won awards and praise but no publication offers, so I'll indie-publish it in late winter.
What's something your fans may not know about you?
I have a very nice collection of corded petticoats. I've also been teaching hands-on history with school children for many, many years. Starting with presenting workshops for teachers on social studies enrichment in the classroom, I got the best gig of my life, – working in the woods for a school district teaching pioneer life in the Pacific NW. I built cabins and structures with 8th graders for ten years, taught everything from making butter and biscuits, splitting shakes and identify trees and logging tools with 3rd graders. From there I became a museum educator and for the past 18 years, demonstrated 19th century foodways and a 1860 school for San Juan Island National Historical Park. Good times!

The Washington Nationals decided to make the move to sign Dan Haren in the offseason to replace Edwin Jackson in their starting rotation. The experiment has gone terribly for Washington as Haren is just 1-3 after losing on Monday night. Haren got a big contract for one season worth $13 million and the Nationals have got a pitcher who is failing to meet expectations.
You can add up all the problems with Haren this season and run out of fingers and toes in counting. Haren hasn't pitched more than five innings in any starts and has given up at least three earned runs each time out. There is no way that you are going to win games when that continues to happen.
The team is obviously not going to get rid of Haren even after giving up ten runs in a little over nine innings pitched.Washington is basically forced to wait until Haren turns things around and who knows when that will be.
It isn't promising, especially if this Nationals team does make the playoffs. If they need a fourth starter, it isn't going to be Haren. There is no doubt about that because the team would likely turn to Ross Detwiler before having Haren on the mound in a high-pressure situation.
Washington was just 10-9 heading into Tuesday's action and that is not where the Nationals were expected to be when this season began. There are going to be major changes at some point if Haren doesn't improve soon, and that could mean moving him out of town.

Helmon, South Africa. 20 April 2016
I enjoyed this as I am a dinosaur fan (since about 1980). The story follows a similar approach as Jurassic Park, except on a much grander and larger scale. Even though the story tried to bring some fresh ideas to the table, nothing was really that mind blowing (I think we are becoming jaded with the relentless slew of big budget over the top movies we have nowadays). The original is still embedded in my mind, whereas this is not, sure there where a few "ooh, ahh!" moments, but nothing to write home about. Still, I would recommend this to any dino fan or someone looking for a good action flick, with a decent story, decent acting and some humor to balance it out.
Lesley, South Africa. 8 November 2015
Reality Check: Every tried running in high heels on mown grass? Let alone parkland or any other surface. Chris Pratt turn in a good performance. Too few "feel good" with dyno moments. Bryce Dallas Howard should stick to boardrooms. As for the bad guys........... Jurassic Park set the standards, Jurassic World is a minor player
Tiaan, South Africa. 14 November 2016
Great update to the movie with new tech and some flash backs to the original movie in the early 90's.

A remake of the original Jurassic Park - nice cast, but as with all movies of late, you have to have either the government/military interference - an American Hero type story line - seriously! Enjoyable entertainment
Nadine, South Africa. 18 July 2016
Excellent Movie (but then again I am a Jurassic fan so to me, was an excellent move. Product packaging and condition - mint. An import DVD, impressed with turnaround time for delivery of the product to my door.

Townhouse in need of renovation - in the center of Felanitx
House with courtyard and roof terrace
Located in the heart of one of the largest cities in Majorca, this townhouse dating back to 1860 must be rebuilt. The property is superb for a boutique hotel or similar.
On 550 m2 distributed over three floors, you can make a completely new interior design on the basis of a typical Majorquin village house with appropriate modernization. The house offers beautiful and preserved arches and high ceilings with wooden beams and a patio of about 22m2.
From the roof terrace you have a breathtaking view over the village of Felanitx.
The quiet little town Felanitx is located in the southeast of the island Majorca. The name Felanitx has got Roman provenance and it is derived from –Fenalicius- = the place where they make hay. Definitely you should visit the church Sant Miquel that is situated in the middle of the town. Big stairs lead to the entrance porch. For all romanticists: under the stairs the fountain of holy Santa Margarida bubbles – the allegedly never-ending spring is regarded as a symbol of eternal love!

Trade deals such as TPP and the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement featured heavily in the White House race. The president-elect had vowed both to scuttle the TPP and renegotiate NAFTA.
US President-elect Donald Trump said on Monday he would withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal the day he assumes the presidency.
"On trade, I am going to issue our notification of intent to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a potential disaster for our country," the US president-elect said in a video message outlining priorities for his first 100 days.
"Instead, we will negotiate fair, bilateral trade deals that bring jobs and industry back onto American shores."
The Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, or the TPP, was signed in February this year by the administration of US President Barack Obama after seven years of negotiations. Other signatory countries are: Japan, Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Chile and Peru.
The deal aims to boost trade by slashing tariffs and to create a new trading bloc along the lines of the European Union.
But Trump during his election campaign criticised the deal and successfully tapped the anger of working-class American voters who feel left behind by years of globalisation, vowing to protect American jobs against cheap labour in countries like China and Mexico.
Trade deals such as TPP and the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement featured heavily in the White House race. The president-elect had vowed both to scuttle the TPP and renegotiate NAFTA.
"My agenda will be based on a simple core principle: putting America first," he said.
US Trade Representative Michael Froman warned last week that scrapping the trans-Pacific trade deal would have "serious" strategic and economic costs.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that the TPP trade deal would be meaningless without US participation.
No countries participating in the pact have delayed domestic approval efforts or abandoned the deal after the US presidential election earlier this month, Abe said during a news conference in Buenos Aires on Monday.
The TPP signatory countries nearly account for 40 percent of the global economy, according to US government estimates.

A 50-cent share in merchant bank Lehman Brothers, whose collapse in September 2008 sparked the world economic and financial crisis, fetched 24,000 euros ($33,000) at an auction in Germany Saturday.
The share, issued by the bank on May 31, 1994, used to hang over the manager's desk at Lehman Brothers and was put up for sale by specialist auction house Historisches Wertpapierhaus at a starting price of 5,000 euros.
Numbered LB0001, the share measuring 30 centimetres by 20 (12 inches by nine) was issued to the bank's boss at the time, Richard Fuld. It was sold earlier this year in a mixed lot of financial paper in the United States before being offered as a single item to the Wuerzburg-based auctioneers.
More than three years after the fall of Lehman Brothers it has not been fully wound up. Creditors owed 370 billion dollars will have to share out just 65 billion in assets recovered by the liquidators.
