Goulburn-Murray Water (GMW) is reminding domestic and stock customers to fill their dam ahead of the irrigation shutdown period, which takes place from Saturday 15 May to Saturday 14 August 2021.
The irrigation shutdown period takes place for the same period each year, with GMW construction and field services teams conducting maintenance and construction activities across the Goulburn-Murray Irrigation District (GMID).
GMW Manager Water Delivery Services Warren Blyth said GMW does not guarantee access to water from the irrigation network for domestic and stock purposes during the irrigation season shutdown period due to winter maintenance and works requirements.
“During this year’s shutdown period, we will be lowering more channels than we have previously to enable the crucial maintenance of our channel network,” Mr Blyth said.
“This will include the repairing of damaged banks and also the maintenance of weeds and silt which are impacting the delivery of water during the irrigation season.
“We ask customers who rely on domestic and stock supply from the GMW channel network to fill their dam ahead of the irrigation season shutdown period.”
This year, GMW’s Winter Works includes a capital works program valued at $8 million.

Excerpted from “The Cross and the Cellar” by Morton T. Kelsey (as found in Bread and Wine: Readings for Lent and Easter)
Let us look at some of the people who brought Jesus of Nazareth to crucifixion. They were not monsters, but ordinary men and women like you and me.
Pilate receives most of the blame for Jesus’ death, and yet Pilate didn’t want to crucify the man. Why did Pilate condemn Jesus? Because Pilate was a coward. He cared more about his comfortable position than he did about justice. He didn’t have the courage to stand for what he knew was right. It was because of this relatively small flaw in Pilate’s character that Jesus died on a cross. Whenever you and are willing to sacrifice someone else for our own benefit, whenever we don’t have the courage to stand up for what we see is right, we step into the same course that Pilate took.
And Caiaphas, was he such a monster? Far from it. He was the admired and revered religious leader of the most religious people in that ancient world. He was the High Priest. His personal habits were impeccable. He was a devout and sincerely religious man. Why did he seek to have Jesus condemned? He did it for the simple reason that he was too rigid. He thought that he had to protect God from this man, thought he had to protect the Jewish faith, and so he said: “It is good for one man to die instead of a nation being destroyed.” Caiaphas’s essential flaw was that he thought he had the whole truth. People who have fought religious wars, those who have persecuted in the name of religion, have followed in his footsteps. Those who put their creeds above mercy and kindness and love, walk there even now.
Why did Judas betray his master? He wasn’t interested in the thirty pieces of silver, at least not primarily. Judas had wanted Jesus to call upon heavenly powers, to take control of the situation and throw the Romans out of Palestine. When he failed to do this, Judas no longer wanted anything to do with him. Judas’ fault was that he couldn’t wait. When we can’t wait and want to push things through, when we think we can accomplish a noble end by human means, we are just like Judas.
Then there was the nameless carpenter who made the cross. He was a skilled workmen. He knew full well what the purpose of that cross was. If you questioned him he probably would have said: “But I am a poor man who must make a living. If other men use it for ill, is it my fault?” So say all of us who pursue jobs which add nothing to human welfare or which hurt some people. Does the work I do aid or hinder human beings? Are we cross makers for our modern world? There are many, many of them.
These were the things that crucified Jesus on Friday in Passover week A.D. 29. They were not wild viciousness or sadistic brutality or naked hate, but the civilized vices of cowardice, bigotry, impatience, timidity, falsehood, indifference – vices all of us share, the very vices which crucify human beings today.

The bottle of Italian wine is sat on the counter.
You can almost hear it calling your name. The tempting nectar inside is just waiting to be poured. All it needs is for you to grab the corkscrew, pop the cork, and prepare the glasses.
You can’t take it anymore.
The kitchen drawer gets opened and out comes the corkscrew. You plunge it into the soft cork that is the only barrier between you and the stunning Italian wine inside the bottle.
Then you twist.
The cork is almost out of the bottle.
Then, the cork starts to crack. You try to soften your twisting motion but it’s too late. Before you know it, a little bit of cork has dropped into your wine. And now, the integrity of the drink has been compromised.
The wine still tastes okay when you pour it.
But you know it could have been so much better. Plus, you’d much rather drink your wine without having to be on cork watching duty.
It’s happened to the best of us.
In our eagerness to get to the wine we love, so many of us have broken the cork and ruined the wine.
How about we make sure that never happens again?
Here are a few steps to help you open a bottle of Italian wine properly.
Step #1 – Take it Slow
Before you even think about grabbing your corkscrew, take a moment to slow yourself down. Yes, you want to get your bottle of Italian wine open. However, drinking wine is a sensory experience. It’s not a race to the finish line at any point. Once the wine is in the glass, you take your time experiencing the bouquet and sipping slowly to appreciate the many flavours the wine contains.
Take the same approach when opening a bottle of wine.
Instead of rushing in your efforts to shift the cork, treat opening the bottle as part of the experience. Commit to taking it slow and enjoying the anticipation that comes as you ease the cork out of the bottle.
Having this attitude will ensure you don’t go in all guns blazing, which is exactly how most cork breakages occur.
Step #2- Cut the Foil
Most bottles of wine have a protective foil that encompasses the neck of the bottle and, in some cases, may extend over the finish. This foil is not there purely for decoration. It aids in keeping the cork secure, which means it can also be your biggest enemy if you don’t do something about it before you start opening the bottle.
Hold the bottle upright and stationary.
From there, use a sharp blade to slice open the foil. Cut the back, front, and top of the foil, making sure to keep your fingers away from the blade as you do. By doing this, you release any hold the foil may have on the cork, making the cork much easier to pull from the bottle later.
Step #3 – Set the Corkscrew
Many people make the mistake of plunging their corkscrew straight into the centre of the cork. It seems to make sense, as the centre should provide you with the most purchase. However, going straight into the centre can also compromise the cork’s integrity, leading to the crumbling mishaps that you’re trying to avoid.
Instead, aim to position the screw just a little off from the centre. Once you’ve pierced the cork, rotate the screw so that it’s moving straight down into the cork.
Step #4 – Screw to the Right Position
Corkscrews are built to a very specific length.
That means you’ve got to avoid the temptation of attempting to pull the cork out before the screw is properly set. Many cork breaks occur because the overeager drinker begins the cork extraction process before the screw is properly set.
The aim here is to keep screwing into the cork until only a single curl of the screw remains visible. This last curl is your marker as it lets you know that the screw is fully buried into the cork.
Step #5 – Ease the Lever
Again, the key here is to take it slowly instead of trying to use the levers to yank the cork out of the bottle.
Using your finger, secure one side of the lever to the bottle’s neck. Holding that part of the lever in place, use your other hand to slowly push down on the other lever. Note that the cork doesn’t have to come out in one push. Instead, use your slow and steady motion to ease the cork out of the bottle. This reduces the amount of friction the cork experiences as it exits the neck, again leading to less chance of breakage.
Step #6 – Wipe the Lip of the Bottle
Grab a clean towel of napkin and lightly wipe the lip of the bottle.
This may seem like a pointless action, especially today. The custom of wiping the lip actually stems from many centuries ago, when lead was a potential problem for wine drinkers. In wiping the lip, the drinker would be able to remove any trace elements of lead before pouring.
Again, that isn’t an issue today.
However, wiping the lip still helps to remove a few potential contaminants. Plus, it’s a customary and traditional action that lends just a touch of gravitas to the experience.
Keep the Cork In-Tact
Ultimately, this is the goal of any Italian wine drinker when they’re opening their bottle.
The feeling of watching a cork crumble under pressure is much like the feeling the English experience when a biscuit breaks after being dipped into a cup of tea. Yes, the tea is still drinkable. But that chunk of biscuit changes the flavour and leaves an unpleasant residue inside the cup.
The same applies to a broken wine cork.
With these steps, you now know how to ease the cork out of the bottle so that you don’t risk it breaking and ruining the taste. Make removing the cork part of the Italian wine experience and you can’t go wrong!
I’m a passionate about good wine and good cooking.
I like to keep me updated and share with my online friends my gastronomic knowledge.

It pleasures me no end, though, I might quickly add, to know that I won't have to see the results of the transaction. After being told that J.

Don't we all love it when we coincidentally twin with our friends or run into someone wearing the very same outfit at a mall or a restaurant? As much as we are likely to twin with people, especially in trendy outfits, do you often think that Bollywood celebrities sometimes end up wearing the same or similar clothes? The answer to it is, yes. Celebrities too can love the same things and end up wearing similar outfits at different occasions. The same happened with Kriti Sanon and Tamannaah Bhatia. They both wore very similar denim outfits from the clothing label Muggler and looked exceptionally stylish.
Kriti Sanon wore a strappy bodysuit from the clothing brand Mugler for the trailer launch of Ganpat in Delhi. Her outfit featured a fitted bodice with a plunging neckline and a ribbed bustline. The light blue denim top also had panels in dark blue colour. She wore a pair of light blue fitted denim pants with the look. What accentuated Kriti's all-denim look was the waist belt with a metal buckle she wore with the look. For accessories, Kriti wore a pair of silver hoops and kept the makeup glam. Kohl-rimmed, mascara-laden eyes, rosy cheek tint, and nude lip colour complemented Kriti's chic style.
Tamannaah Bhatia looked stylish in a similar look from the clothing label Mugler. The actress wore a body-hugging, collared denim crop top that featured black panels. She teamed it with a pair of fitted denim pants which featured similar dark panels at the sides. Tamannaah's no-accessory look was completed with glamorous makeup. Soft kohled eyes, ample mascara and ,muted-toned lipstick completed her look.
We cannot decide which is our favourite look from Mugler, Kriti Sanon's or T,amanaah Bhatia's, Can you?Comments

§ 50. Mr. Malcolm MacMillan
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will ask and assist the county councils of Ross and Cromarty and Inverness to initiate a continuous 10-years' programme of road construction, major reconstruction and modernisation in the west of those counties and in the Western Isles to meet the tourist industry and other development needs of the region, to carry with greater safety and efficiency the rapidly growing road traffic in the north-west Highlands and Islands and to serve the new Western Isles' ferry services, in view of the burden which the proposed rail closures will throw upon the present inadequate one-track road system.

The rose is a beloved flower in Qatar and has a long history of cultural and economic significance. The country has a warm, arid climate that is well-suited for growing roses, and they are widely cultivated throughout the country.
History: The history of the rose in Qatar can be traced back to the 19th century when the country’s inhabitants first began cultivating the flower. During this time, roses were primarily grown for their perfume, which was highly valued in the Middle East. The country’s rose industry grew rapidly throughout the 20th century, and today, Qatar is one of the world’s leading producers of roses.
Culture: In Qatari culture, roses are highly valued for their beauty and fragrance. They are often used in traditional decorations, such as in weddings, festivals, and other important events. In addition, rose water is a popular ingredient in traditional Qatari cuisine, and is used in a variety of dishes and desserts. The rose is also an important symbol in Islamic culture, and is often associated with love, beauty, and purity.
Economic: The rose industry is an important contributor to Qatar’s economy, with the country exporting large quantities of roses every year. The majority of these roses are grown in the Al Khor area, which is known for its favorable climate and fertile soil. The roses are typically harvested between December and March, and are exported to markets throughout the Middle East and beyond.
Art and Literature: The rose has long been a popular subject in Qatari art and literature. In traditional Qatari poetry, roses are often used as a symbol of love and beauty, and are a common theme in love songs and poems. Roses are also a popular subject in Qatari visual art, with many artists incorporating the flower into their paintings, sculptures, and other works.
Influence: The rose has had a significant influence on Qatari culture and society, shaping everything from art and literature to the country’s economy. The rose industry provides employment for thousands of people in the country, and has helped to establish Qatar as a major player in the global flower trade. In addition, the beauty and fragrance of the rose continue to inspire Qatari artists and writers, and the flower remains an important symbol of love, beauty, and purity in Qatari culture.

Webb Commissioner reels in large alligator gar
Webb County Precinct 1 Commissioner Jesse Gonzalez came face-to-face with a “monster” over the weekend.
Gonzalez reeled in a 6-foot-5 alligator gar that weighed more than 200 pounds after a tug-o-war at the Rio Grande.
“Caught this monster gar while fishing with my dad. It gave one hell of a fight that it even broke my rod,” Gonzalez posted on his Facebook.
His post garnered more than 150 comments and more than 800 reactions as of Monday evening.
In Southwest Texas, alligator gars can be found in the middle and lower Rio Grande, including lakes Falcon and Amistad, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Gonzalez said he harvested the “monster.”
“All alligator gar harvested from the public waters of the state other than Falcon International Reservoir must be reported within 24 hours to the department via mobile app or online,” states the TPWD website.
Gonzalez is proud of his catch. But for him, fishing means more than that.
“My father taught me the sport of fishing at a young age. I grew up visiting the Rio Grande. I appreciate the sport but more importantly, I appreciate the family time,” he said.

Cloudy Bay Sauv Blc 2007
CLOUDY BAY SAUVIGNON BLANC 2007 A CHALLENGING SEASON REDEEMED BY AN IDEAL AUTUMN, PRODUCING A MODEST CROP OF RIPE, CONCENTRATED FRUIT WITH EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY. Winemakers Notes Pale straw green in colour and enticingly fragrant, the 2007 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc is reminiscent of a fresh summer fruit salsa – ripe peach, passionfruit, mango and juicy citrus – sprinkled with fresh fennel and a dash of Pastis. The palate is rich and succulent, with a zesty citrus and apple-sherbet acidity that leads to a long, lingering, and characteristically crisp finish. Vineyard Budburst in Marlborough was once again earlier than normal and the growing season in the Wairau Valley raced off with a frost free start. However, early predictions of a bumper crop were quashed during the coldest December in 50 years, affecting the later flowering varieties, especially Sauvignon Blanc. Cooler than average weather conditions prevailed through most of the summer, bringing the season back from it's early start and putting worried looks on many a winemaker's face. But, the beginning of autumn brought the arrival of a true 'Indian Summer' and the vineyards ripened rapidly under sunny, blue skies. Harvest The The sauvignon blanc harvest commenced slightly earlier than normal on the 28th of March under settled conditions, the first fruit coming from the stonier, warmer blocks around the winery. Harvesting continued steadily during the month through the progressively later ripening sites, with the last fruit coming in on the 20th of April. Whilst the crops were lower than initially expected, the flavours were superb and all vineyards produced ripe, concentrated fruit of exceptional quality. Vinification The fruit was machine harvested during the cooler night and early morning temperatures and transported directly to the winery. The grapes were de-stemmed and transferred straight to tank presses. Free run and lightly pressed juice was cold settled for 48 hours then racked and inoculated with neutral yeast strains. The fermentations were carried out in stainless steel tanks; after fermentation the wine remained in contact with yeast lees for around two months, prior to blending in July and subsequent bottling in August. Final wine analysis shows an alcohol of 13.5%, pH of 3.11 and titratable acidity 7.4 g/L.
Cloudy Bay has been the benchmark New Zealand wine, from the iconic New Zealand winemaker Kevin Judd, since its founding in 1985 as one of the first 5 wineries in Marlborough. The ultra-premium wines express the purity and intensity of fruit flavors naturally afforded by the top vineyard sites and maritime climate.

El-Hadji Diouf's international career appears to be over after the Senegal Football Federation hit him with a five-year ban from all football-related activity in his home country.
The decision, announced in a short statement on the federation's website senegalfoot.sn, came after 30-year-old Diouf reacted angrily to the federation's claims that he had failed to appear for a disciplinary hearing last week.
The committee wanted to ask Diouf about comments he had made on Radio France International, claiming that "the whole system of African football is corrupt". The federation claimed Diouf had been called to a hearing on July 20, but the Blackburn forward insisted he had heard nothing of it, and then told French magazine Stade he would "go to war" with the FSF if they took further action.
The FSF said Diouf is banned "from performing any football-related activity for a period of five years with effect from the date of notification of this decision".
It remains possible, according to the FSF, that the decision could be reversed if Diouf were to appear before the disciplinary committee.
The news comes as Diouf's club career hangs in the balance.
He has been fined by Blackburn for failing to report on time for pre-season training, and was left out for their pre-season tour to Hong Kong.
Manager Steve Kean said in an interview with Sky Sports this week that he thought it was time for Diouf to leave the club, indicating that enquiries have been made by other clubs.

What is Anita Baker's net worth?
Anita Baker is an American jazz singer, soul singer, and songwriter who has a net worth of $40 million. Anita Baker is an American singer-songwriter known for her romantic R&B ballads. She began her career in the late 1970s as part of the funk band Chapter 8, and released her debut solo album shortly after in 1983. Her second album, the Platinum-selling "Rapture," launched her to fame in 1986; since then, she has won a number of Grammy Awards, and has had multiple Platinum-selling albums, as well as one that went Gold.
Early Life and Career Beginnings
Anita Denise Baker was born in Toledo, Ohio in 1958. When her mother abandoned her at the age of two, she was raised by a foster family in Detroit, Michigan. At twelve, her foster parents passed away, and she was put under the care of her foster sister. By the time she was sixteen, Baker was already singing R&B at nightclubs in the city. During this time, she was discovered by bandleader David Washington, who invited her to audition for the band Chapter 8, which she joined in 1975. Baker toured with the group, eventually securing a deal with Ariola Records in 1979. Chapter 8's first self-titled album featured the single "Ready for Your Love," a duet between Baker and Gerald Lyles. Later that year, Ariola was purchased by Arista Records, which dropped Chapter 8 from the label after claiming that Baker didn't have the proper star potential. Because of this, Baker returned to Detroit, where she worked as a receptionist and waitress. Then, in 1982, former Ariola associate Otis Smith convinced Baker to begin a solo career under his label, Beverly Glen.
"The Songstress" and Solo Success
It was in 1983 that Baker released her debut solo album, "The Songstress." It featured four singles: "Will You Be Mine," "No More Tears," "You're the Best Thing Yet," and "Angel." The latter tune became Baker's first top ten single, landing at number five on the R&B charts. Despite this success, Baker alleged that she was not given any royalties for her work. Consequently, Baker tried to leave the label, but was sued by Otis Smith for breach of contract. Following a months-long legal battle, Baker won her case against Smith, and was permitted to record for other labels. She subsequently signed with Elektra Records, a label of the Warner Music Group, and got to work on her next album.
In March of 1986, Baker finally shot to international stardom with her second album, "Rapture." The album's debut single was "Watch Your Step," which didn't initially set the charts on fire. Rather, it was the mid-tempo ballad "Sweet Love" that became Baker's first pop hit, ascending to number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and making it onto the UK Top 20. Ultimately, "Rapture" produced three more hit singles: "Caught Up in the Rapture," "Same Ole Love (365 Days a Year)," and "No One in the World." Over the next year, Baker went on tour promoting the album; by 1988, it had sold over eight million copies globally, and earned Baker two Grammy Awards.
Further Musical Triumphs
Baker won a third Grammy in 1987 for her collaboration on The Winans' "Ain't No Need to Worry." The next year, she released her third album, "Giving You the Best That I Got," which was an instant success. The album topped the Billboard 200 and sold five million copies globally. Meanwhile, the title track became the most successful charted single of Baker's career, landing at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the R&B and adult contemporary charts. Her follow-up single, "Just Because," became another R&B chart-topper, while "Lead Me Into Love" ranked on the R&B top ten. All said, "Giving You the Best That I Got" became Baker's first and only number one pop album in the US; was certified three-times Platinum; and earned Baker three Grammy Awards and three Soul Train Music Awards.
Baker found continued success with 1990's "Compositions," on which she began incorporating more elements of jazz. This album produced singles including "Soul Inspiration," "Fairy Tales," and "Talk to Me." Upon wrapping up promotion for the album in 1991, Baker took a brief hiatus from the business. She came back to the charts in 1994 with "Rhythm of Love," which featured her first top 40 pop hit in five years: "Body and Soul." The album's second single, "I Apologize," won Baker her eighth Grammy Award. The album itself, meanwhile, became Baker's fourth consecutive album to go Platinum.
In late 2004, Baker went certified Gold for the first time with her album "My Everything." It reached number four on the Billboard 200 and number one on the R&B charts. Later hits included her 2005 album "Christmas Fantasy," and her 2012 cover of Tyrese's "Lately." The latter song made headlines after it was played every hour throughout the day on adult contemporary radio. In recognition of her career, in 2013 Baker was inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame.
Personal Life and Real Estate
In 1988, Baker married Walter Bridgeforth, Jr., with whom she had two sons, Walter and Edward. The couple separated in 2005. Since 1993, Baker has resided in a waterfront home in Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan. The 7,000-square-foot house was built in 1987 on the shore of Lake St. Clair, and boasts a three-car garage.

First, make the marinade. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Lay the salmon, skin-side down, in a large container, then pour on the marinade and turn the fish to fully coat it. Cover and chill for at least 1 hr, or up to 12 hrs.
Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9, or as high as it will go. Line the base of a sturdy, shallow roasting tin with baking parchment, then drizzle over the oil. Lay the marinated salmon skin-side down on the parchment and roast for 25-30 mins until the outside is lightly charred and the inside is just cooked. Meanwhile, for the salad, tip the cabbage, red onion and chilli into a bowl, sprinkle with sea salt and scrunch the veg with your hands to work in the salt. Stir in the lemon juice and set aside while the salmon is roasting.
Just before serving, stir the cucumber slices and coriander into the cabbage salad. Bring the whole salmon to the table with a few lemon slices on top to serve, then carve and plate up with the salad and rice on the side, if you like.

Professor of Geography
My work intersects critical GIS, and urban and political geography. I study the social and political impacts of spatial technologies such as GIS, and the changing practices and politics of local activism, community organizing, and other modes of civic engagement. My current research focuses on emerging geospatial media – an ever-expanding range of interactive web-based technologies that enabling collection, compilation, mapping, and dissemination of spatial data by vast numbers of people. With colleagues at UC-Santa Barbara and Ohio State University, I am currently studying these new forms of ‘volunteered geographic information’, examining their content and characteristics, methodologies for working with these data, and the social and political practices in which they are implicated. In a parallel project, Katharyne Mitchell and I are examining the role that interactive geovisualization technologies might play in fostering collaborative learning, critical thinking and civic engagement among young teens. My research and teaching having long been structured around action research and university-community collaboration, further details can be found here.

No home is complete without a great place to sit, relax, and share experiences with friends and family. These experiences could just be sitting around and talking about life.

This is why watching movies, TV shows, and sporting events is so fun to do with family and friends. You can watch an artistic film with your family and then have discussions about the symbolism and search for the meanings hidden in the celluloid. You can watch a horror movie and jump into the arms of your loved one as the scares keep you on the edge of your seat. You could watch a romantic comedy with your significant other and enjoy the story of another couple in love. Or you could prepare a smorgasbord of food and sit down with your friends to enjoy a Sunday afternoon of football. Build and reinforce the relationships in your life that are important. Make the place you share experiences as great as can be with home theater installation in Los Angeles.
Make It Comfortable and Entertaining

Take that old empty office in your home and turn it into the perfect place to get together with your friends and family and enjoy some relaxing or thrilling entertainment.

My frit arrived…finally. After returning from Texas, I’ve been in a shopping whirlwind to get my studio properly outfitted to work on my frit painting.
My shopping spree included:
1. Instructional books on painting techniques,
2. MAP gas for the torch,
3. Alcohol lamps (thank you Donna for this ingenious idea),
4. Bullseye frit sifters,
5. FRIT (only enough to finish my first planned piece, because that stuff gets expensive).
The frit order was the last to arrive; I picked it up from the supplier yesterday. Can you guess what I’ll be doing this weekend?

Home to some of the best coastlines and waters found in the world, Mallorca is the ultimate destination for water sports and activities. With popular activities such as scuba diving, sailing and kite surfing, paddle surfing is no exception. Paddle surfing has risen in popularity among the Balearic Islands in recent years, as people have begun to appreciate the tranquil, crystal clear waters that surround the area. As Mallorca is surrounded by numerous beautiful coasts, it can be difficult to know which ones offer paddle board rentals and lessons, and for that reason we have compiled a list of our picks of the 5 best paddle surf destinations in Mallorca.
Located close to Palma as well as Calvia, Port Adriano offers a beautiful mediterranean bay area that is very practical in accessibility. Within the port you can find the Mar Balear Dive Center, a reputable ocean rental and diving company that operates within the port. Mar Balear offers a number of services, one of them being paddle surf board rentals. What makes Mar Balear such a great option for paddle surfing is the location. Apart from being very central and close to Santa Ponsa, the coast and bay area is beautiful in Port Adriano, with sea life being prevalent amongst the crystal clear waters.
Sports Mallorca is an experienced company in sports activity rentals in Mallorca, and their variety in services for paddle surfing are second to none. Their shop is located on Carrer de Sant Llorenç, which lies adjacent to the Cathedral, which makes it a very accessible location. From Sports Mallorca you can rent a variety of different paddle board types, as well as the mega SUP, which is a large board that can fit up to six people! For the beginners you can also get teaching lessons, or for the more relaxed you can do a SUP yoga session, which has become quite popular recently.
Below the Palma airport lies Platja d’Or, a beautiful beach located close to palma. Above this beach you can find the Bonaona Surf School & Bar, a surf school that offers classes, rentals and excursions in a variety of aquatic activities. In relation to paddle surfing, Bonaona offers rentals of paddle boards as well as instructive classes where as a beginner or amateur, you can improve your stand up paddle drastically. The Bonaona Surf School also offers a bar that is perfect for cooling down and getting some energy before returning to the ocean!
Located south-west of Palma, Port Calanova is a wonderful bay area with a lively atmosphere. With clear waters and majestic coastal views, Port Calanova is a fantastic destination for Paddle Surf enthusiasts. The port offers paddle surf board rentals as well as instructor lessons. The port also contains a lovely beach as well as a wide variety of bars and restaurants within walking distance that include spectacular views of the bay waters. One thing to note is that in order to be able to rent a paddle board, you must be at least 18 years old.
Suping Mallorca is a Mallorcan paddle surfing company that is based in Palmanova, on the Son Caliu beach. Palmanova is home to some of the crystal clear waters on the island, as well as home to magical coastal lines and rock formations. Through Suping Mallorca you can rent a paddle board on an hourly basis or on a daily basis. Different bundles are also available such as a snorkel kit included with a paddle board, or a paddle surf kit where you can keep the board and paddle for several days, so you can enjoy the coasts of all of Mallorca with total freedom. Before heading out on your paddle surfing excursion one of the experienced monitors will give you a basic rundown of instructions and safety protocols.
Before embarking on a paddle surf adventure, there are a few essentials that are strongly recommended to bring with you. Food and water is not always guaranteed at all times, especially when you are out on the ocean, so in that case it is recommended to bring plenty of bottled water and perhaps a sandwich or two. Another important item is sunscreen, as you will be exposed to the powerful Mediterranean sun for extended periods of time, so sunscreen and possible sun blocking clothing is recommended. Some people also like to bring a waterproof bag with them that can fit on the paddle board, containing important belongings such as phones and wallets. Overall, Mallorca is a great destination for paddle board beginners as well as experienced enthusiasts. With a wide variety of coastal destinations, Mallorca can offer unique experiences in its beautiful waters.

Readers: get hooked and reel in some great books. Authors are sharing short excerpts from their work. Please enjoy and consider picking up the full book by clicking on the buy link.
I'm revisiting one of my first releases, Busted in Bubbles, a sexy little short story designed to be a hot, quick read. I'll be posting a series of pivotal scenes over the next couple of weeks. Please enjoy!
Today's post features Emsley, my heroine.
Book Tagline: Is there anything better than a bath time romp with a hot man? Emsley Bourne wants to find out.
Emsley glanced in each direction before she used the master keycard to let herself into Rayne's cabin. If she'd figured the timing right, it shouldn't take longer than five minutes to short sheet his bed and another six to get the card back to the concierge desk. Poor Ron had no clue she'd borrowed his all access entry key to pull a prank. Hell, he didn't have any idea she'd lifted the damned thing at all.
With a smug smile, she crossed the living area and started up the spiral staircase to the loft. About five steps up, she froze, carefully listening and hearing water sloshing in the bathroom. Shit. Rayne must've skipped the fancy-pants dinner. Okay, could she still pull off her traditional short sheeting of his bed and still leave him none the wiser?
She pondered, considering her skill level against the chance he might discover her presence. Should she risk it?
Yeah. She loved a good challenge.
She started up the next step and stopped again. Wait… bath? What the hell? Curiosity ate its way through her intention of getting in and out. Rayne couldn't possibly be soaking in a tub. Hell. Yeah, he could… and he might have company. The thought bothered her… even if it shouldn't. She might find the combination of looks and brains a heady mixture, but it didn't give her any claim to his affections.
She hesitated. Indecision warred in her brain. She had zero desire to become a voyeur if Rayne had brought someone along for this trip and they'd decided to get kinky in the tub. She weighed her options. The possibility of finding him with some woman wrapped around him would be like a kick in the teeth, but…
Screw it. She made her way back down the steps, tip-toeing to the bathroom door.
She had to know if the do-it-all security expert liked to soak in a tub.
Available on Amazon
More e-retailers coming soon!
Book Blurb: Rayne McKinnon sells a lucrative security-consulting job and it's time to move on to his next objective: adding a partner. He wants Emsley Bourne, personally and professionally, and puts a plan in motion to achieve his goal. She only has to follow through with her usual tradition.
Emsley lives for the next thrill, in business and life. She's got a unique skill set and uses it to gain access to Rayne's cabin to follow through on her standard short-sheeting escapade. Imagine her surprise when she discovers Rayne soaking in a tub full of bubbles. Busted, she can either flee the scene—or join Rayne for some bath time fun.

City of Alexandria Announces the Opening of the Play Area at 1&7 East Del Ray Avenue
The City of Alexandria welcomes the community to the new park located at 1&7 East Del Ray Avenue. Construction of the park is now complete and the play area at the new pocket park is open to the public. Final plantings will occur in early fall to ensure successful growth. The City encourages the community to use the play area, and asks that users to avoid the newly seeded lawn area to allow it to become established.
In 2008, the City acquired these two properties located in the Del Ray area of Alexandria for use as a pocket park. Pocket parks are designed to meet the needs of those who live or work within a tenth of a mile of their location. They are less than 20,000 square feet, and may include such elements as public gardens, seating areas, passive open space, landscaped areas, important natural features, or trees.
The approved park plan, developed with extensive public input and approved by the Park and Recreation Commission in 2009, includes improvements such as enhanced landscaping, seating areas, storm-water management, and a small play area. For more information on the park, including details on the approved plan, visit www.alexandriava.gov/45884.

Christmas in Estonia: Preparations
Like their counterparts in Germany and the Nordic countries, most Estonians observe Advent—a four-week period of spiritual preparation that precedes Christmas—with Advent calendars and Advent candles. The weeks before Christmas may also be filled with house-cleaning, cooking, decorating, and shopping.
Christmas straw is an important seasonal decoration in Estonia (see also Yule straw). In past times families strewed their floors with straw, which became a playground for the children. The straw reminded family members of Jesus’ birth in a stable. In some places people twisted the straw into crowns. Folklorists believe that this custom came to Estonia from Finland. The custom of fashioning Christmas crowns from straw nearly died out in the twentieth century, but was revived in the 1970s.
The Christmas tree is another prominent Christmas decoration in Estonia. Estonians prefer fir trees, but when fir is not available they will also use pine. Christmas trees became popular in the nineteenth century, when Estonians adopted the custom from Germans living in the Baltic Sea area. Some writers claim, however, that Estonian Christmas trees can be traced back to the year 1441, when one stood in front of the town hall in Tallinn, Estonia’s capital.

In the dreamed and romantic palace park, designed by the famous classicistic landscape architect Peter Joseph Lenné, the appearance of the eight small bridges with different lengths, from 2 to 10 meter, should be very discreet and in harmony with the historical environment. Nevertheless we choose glass as building material as indication for our time and a modern building technology. During the day the transparent glass bridges are disappearing in the environment through their mirroring and reflecting. In the night they become visible through the magic light that they radiate from bellow.

Our proposal for the New Taipei City Museum of Art is an open and welcoming design that erases the barrier of exclusivity normally surrounding the world of art, patrons, and experts. As such, the architecture of the New Taipei City Museum of Art is one that embodies this idea of erasure through eliminating the traditional borders between exhibition space and circulation, as well as exterior and interior. Every part of the museum is represented by a space without limits that can hold any type of expression.

The Traders’ Commune envisages a society of total self-sufficiency that aims to embrace and regenerate the surrounding area. In reaction to the current economic climate and deterioration of outer cities, the project acts as a critique of the development and decline of a failed planning model in Brighton’s suburbia.

Stemming from the enriching life cycle of the organic plant, an inspiring design is proposed for a Taiwan Tower competition.
This natural concept embodies the very essence of the ecosystem within we coexist with, by mimicking the stable and collaborative harmony between trees roots and trunk system anchor and support the entire core of the building. Integrated with intelligent systems, this concept attracts the natural energy of nature and reinvents Cybertecture technology to produce a tower that is remarkable and extraordinary for people to work, visit and take pride in.

“Forest of Art”
We proposed a place where a park, facilities and the around environment are mixing together like a forest for Ichiharashi-sui & Choukoku no Oka. The existing building at the site would be renovated to enhance the beautiful scenery of the park in front of the structure. Inside and outside, old and new would be harmonized as one space at the place. The condition could be explained as café ore, which is keeping a taste of coffee and milk, but also create a new taste as café ore.

I have a Browning Model 1885 in .22 Hornet that I routinely shoot out of my gun room window at 'coons, ground hogs, etc. It is deadly on everything that I have shot with it, the noise is about as quiet as you can get for a center-fire. My ears do not ring at all, but then the barrel is out the window.
Sometimes you get what you pay for, sometimes you only pay more for what you get.
Three shots are not a "group"...they are a "few".
If the Bible is the literal, infallible, unerring word of God...where are all those witches I am supposed to kill? (Exodus 22:18)

Cholecystokinin receptors or CCK receptors are a group of G-protein coupled receptors which bind the peptide hormones cholecystokinin (CCK) or gastrin. There are two different subtypes CCKA and CCKB which are ~50% homologous: Various cholecystokinin antagonists have been developed and are used in research, although the only drug of this class that has been widely marketed to date is the anti-ulcer drug proglumide.
|protein||gene||tissue distribution||preferred ligand||function|
|CCKA (CCK1)||CCKAR||primarily gastrointestinal tract, lesser amounts in the CNS||sulfated CCK >> nonsulfated CCK ≈ nonsulfated CCK||stimulation of bicarb secretion, gall bladder emptying and inhibiting gut motility|
|CCKB (CCK2)||CCKBR||primarily CNS, lesser amounts in the gastrointestinal tract||gastrin ≈ CCK (receptor does not descriminate between sulfated and nonsulfated peptides)||regulation of nociception, anxiety, memory and hunger|
