This story was updated on Jan. 14 to include the full list of committee assignments.
Monday, Jan. 13 — In marked contrast to the past two years of drawn out, contentious votes to elect City Council leadership, it took the Council less than five minutes tonight to install Councilwoman A'Lynne Boles as president and newcomer Judi Brown Clarke as vice president.
You've gotta be able to count to five, as they say, and tonight's vote was a signal that a behind-the-scenes deal was worked out before the meeting. (Boles even came prepared with committee assignments. More on that below.)
Following a Committee of the Whole session in which the votes were split 5-3, the full Council voted unanimously for Boles as president — a role in which she served in 2010 and 2011 — and Brown Clarke as vice president, a rare move for someone with no Council experience.
In committee, Council members Kathie Dunbar, Jessica Yorko and Tina Houghton voted against Boles and Brown Clarke.
Following an inauguration ceremony at the Lansing Center before the Council meeting, Mayor Virg Bernero hoped that the leadership team would be a sign of a "spirit" of cooperation.
"Is the old factionalism dead? That's my hope," Bernero said, who backed Brown Clarke in the November election in which she unseated 10-year Councilman Brian Jeffries. "Is there a new spirit, new resolve on the Council that we're one team? That's been the verbiage. I hope a majority of Council members get that."
(Bernero was speculating on a City Pulse story from Friday in which sources said Boles and Brown Clarke would lead. "It ain't over yet," he gave as a disclaimer before the meeting.)
At the end of tonight's meeting — "In anticipation there might be the chance that I'm sitting in this seat" — Boles unveiled committee assignments as well.
All eight Council members are chairing a committee. Per City Charter rules, Boles chairs the Committee of the Whole and Brown Clarke chairs the Personnel Committee.
Quinney chairs Development and Planning, which handles major development projects and tax abatement requests that go through the Council, among other issues. Washington and Houghton are also on Development and Planning.
Dunbar chairs the Public Service Committee after a year in which she was not given a committee chairmanship from Wood, who was Council president last year.
"I'd like to start the year on a footnote and build from here that assignments were made to be equitable and balanced," Boles said from the dais.
Here's the full list of committee assignments:
Development and Planning: Quinney (chair), Washington, Houghton
General Services: Yorko (chair), Wood, Washington
Intergovernmental Relations: Houghton (chair), Dunbar, Yorko
Public Safety: Washington (chair), Yorko, Brown Clarke
Public Services: Dunbar (chair), Quinney, Boles
Ways and Means: Wood (chair), Houghton, Quinney
Personnel: Brown Clarke (chair), Boles, Dunbar, Wood

Makeup Review: Benefit California Kissin'
Makeup Review: Benefit California Kissin'
About a month ago, I wrote a series on blue lip glosses that many of you seemed quite curious to try. So now that Benefit California Kissin' Smile Brightening Lip Shine ($16) has launched, I decided to give it a whirl.
I was really surprised by how impressed I was with my new blue hue! I thought that blue lip gloss was going to be wacky and weird, but it turns out that the tint actually cools down your skin tone. In addition, it tastes good and smells great. (I wish it were true that it made my breath fresher, but to do that, I'd probably have to eat it. )
I can't really tell if it made my teeth look whiter or not, but it does have lots of shine, and the gloss gave my lips a subtle blue sparkle. Also, the packaging has these great aqua waves that just scream Summer. What can I say? I'm addicted to the blues.

Here's the original image. First, I'll use some basic Photoshop Elements techniques (also available in Photoshop) on the image. Then, I'll switch to Photoshop because the feature I'll use isn't available in Elements. Hey, I try to make everyone happy here in my column!
As you can see, the lights in the ice planters for the trees are grossly overexposed. I fixed that by choosing the Clone Stamp tool on the toolbar and then cloning the surrounding areas of ice and pasting them over the overexposed areas.
When I was on site, that bedspread looked cozy to my eyes, but I couldn't see it clearly in my image. I fixed that by creating a Levels adjustment layer (Layer > New Adjustment Layer). I moved the highlight slider in the Levels dialog box almost halfway to the left, which substantially lightened the entire image.
At this point, this is how my image looked. Yuck! But I expected that result. I knew that the automatically created Layer Mask would come to the rescue.
To get the rest of the image (everything except the bedspread) back to its original state, I set the Foreground Color (at the bottom of the toolbar) to black and selected the Brush tool. In the Layers dialog box, I clicked on the Layer Mask (on the right on the top layer) and painted over all the areas except the bedspread.
I was much more pleased with my image, but I wanted the snow on the walls to be lighter. I flattened the image so that I could apply effects to the entire image area.
Then I went to Enhance > Adjust Color > Variations and clicked on Lighter. That made the planters a bit washed out, however, so I used the Burn tool on the toolbar to reduce their brightness level.
The picture still looked somewhat flat to me. So I went to Enhance > Lighting > Brightness/Contrast and increased the Contrast a bit.
Now the image started to look like the original scene as I viewed it with my eyes.
I felt as though I was in an igloo when I took this picture. That gave me the idea to create a fun, inside-an-igloo effect. Opening the image in Photoshop CS3, I went to Edit > Transform > Warp. I pulled in the anchor points at the top of the image to create the effect.
Photoshop is amazing. It gives you ideas without even knowing it. Looking at the image, I thought that a nighttime, X-ray image of the bedroom might look cool-especially if it was snowing outside.
I filled in the white areas with black by first selecting them with the Magic Wand tool on the toolbar and then by going to Edit > Fill > Fill with Black. Next, I created a duplicate layer (Layer > Duplicate Layer). I clicked on the bottom layer and went to Window > Actions and applied the Blizzard Action (an Image Effect Action you need to load by pressing the small fly-out arrow on the left side of the Actions dialog box). Finally, I went back to the top layer. I selected the back areas of the image and went to Edit > Cut to reveal the nighttime snowstorm on the lower layer. After flattening the layers (Layer > Flatten Layer), I applied the Unsharp Mask filter because all images originally captured as RAW files need at least a little sharpening.
All this hard work and good fun paid off for me, so remember: always try to envision the end result at the time of exposure!

Rising food prices hurt the Tri-Cities food bank
TRI-CITIES, Wash. -- Rising food prices means the Tri-Cities food bank is having a harder time feeding people in need.
Food prices have spiked five percent this year.
It's led to a drop in donations for the food bank, meaning employees have to buy food instead.
As a result, the food bank has gone over-budget for three straight months.
Workers hope prices will start to even out by the summer.
As always, the food bank is welcoming donations from the community.

MARTINEZ — Just when it seemed all loose ends had been tied up on a complex agreement allowing for 678 acres of land to be considered for annexation into Antioch, a new hurdle has emerged.
The latest hang-up between Antioch and Contra Costa County officials in the plan for the waterfront land northeast of the city centers on 114 acres owned by Forestar real estate.
The county wants to remain the lead agency in potential development of that property so developers won't have to start from scratch. Antioch tentatively agreed in August to allow the county to keep review and entitlement authority for that area — part of a tax-sharing agreement for the entire annexation area.
But, two weeks later, the county proposed a three-party development agreement as a way for Antioch to delegate its land use authority.
Having multiple parties involved introduces some legal complications, mainly the city delegating away its "police power" by giving up its land use authority, said Victor Carniglia, a city-hired consultant.
"When you peel back the layers, it appears there are some impediments legally," he said.
County senior administrator Rich Seithel told the Local Agency Formation Commission board Wednesday that the two sides are in discussion to "find the vehicle to make it all work."
City Manager Jim Jakel suggested county staff work as a consultant to the city to process any agreement as "middle ground" since it has that expertise.
County Supervisor Federal Glover of Pittsburg, a formation commission board member, said the legal counsels for both sides need to get together and "figure it out."
It could be weeks, even months, before a tax agreement is hashed out. It would then go before the county Board of Supervisors for consideration. Then the annexation package would go before the formation commission.
Frustrations among fellow board members mounted Wednesday. The commission has chided the city and county several times throughout the annexation process, which started three years ago.
"It just keeps dragging on. I just don't understand it," Commissioner Dwight Meadows said. "Let's get this cloud off the area and move forward."
All other parts of the draft infrastructure plan and tax-sharing agreement approved by Antioch remain the same.
The city and county will contribute $3 million over 10 years to add water, sewer and storm drains to the 103-acre area off Viera Avenue, with Antioch covering the rest with grants and loans. The city estimates it would cost about $10.7 million, and nearly $5 million more in other engineering and contingency costs, to add the infrastructure.
Antioch has also agreed to help the 200 or so residents in the rural area cover the $18,000 to $20,000 connection costs to city water and sewer lines.
The city estimates the area could yield about $900,000 in net tax revenue each year and provide other economic opportunities on the waterfront. Both parties will also set aside $500,000 over the next five years to boost area economic development initiatives.

How Lee Wan Uses His Sister Kim Tae Hee to Get Girls
Lee Wan is Kim Tae Hee's little brother, but he never seems to want to talk about his sister. It probably stems from a want to stand independently as an actor and a concern that he may unintentionally harm his sister's image.
Sometimes, however, he′s totally fine with using his sister. Kim Ji Suk, who used to serve as Lee Wan's senior soldier in the army, recently revealed an interesting fact about Lee Wan and his very famous sister.
On the April 17 broadcast of SBS' Strong Heart, Kim Ji Suk said, "Because Lee Wan is Kim Tae Hee's little brother, we often ask him about his sister, but he's always hesitant to talk about her."
When a group of PR unit soldiers, a group which included Lee Wan and Kim Ji Suk, once left the division for a leave and met a group of girls for a blind date, however, Kim Ji Suk saw Lee Wan do something he had never done before. Lee Wan gave a jaw-dropping answer to a girl in the other group when she asked Lee Wan whether his sister really is beautiful.
"You're 20,000 times more beautiful," Lee Wan had said.
Kim Ji Suk quipped, "With that one sentence, the girls all fell for Lee Wan. Kim Tae Hee's little brother is saying you're more beautiful than Kim Tae Hee; who wouldn't fall for that?"
Won't Lee Wan get angry at Kim Ji Suk for telling these stories when he himself has no say? Kim Ji Suk explained that he already got permission from Lee Wan to talk about him on television. But when asked whether Lee Wan is aware that Kim Ji Suk meant he would tell stories like this, he said, "He doesn't know about that."
Poor Lee Wan, but at least with those skills we know he'll be able to get any girl he wants!

State Supreme Court rules against MERS in mortgage foreclosure challenge
A new state Supreme Court ruling could put hundreds of home foreclosures in question in this state, where the foreclosures were initiated by an organization known as MERS.
MERS stands for Mortgage Electronic Registration System. It's a central tracking system that essentially represents the person or investor that holds the note on a loan when a mortgage is sold.
Lenders have been using MERS to initiate foreclosures, even though MERS doesn't actually hold the loans. MERS and lenders maintain that under their system MERS is a legal beneficiary of the promissory note. But in a 9-0 decision justices ruled that's not what Washington state law intended.
When Kristin Bain hired an attorney to fight illegal lending practices involving her Tukwila condo, she never dreamed the case would end up in Olympia. Bain's case is one of two similar cases argued before the state Supreme Court last Spring.
Years earlier, Bain was the victim of a predatory mortgage loan that Huelsman says violated the law and stuck Bain with unfairly high mortgage rates and mortgage payments. While settling that case, Bain got laid off, and began to miss mortgage payments.
She was sent to foreclosure by MERS. Attorney Melissa Huelsman cried foul when no one could identify the actual loan holder and. Citing state law, Huelsman filed lawsuits, and stopped the foreclosure while attempting to identify the loan holder who could rightfully address Bain's concerns about the foreclosure process.
Huelsman says the loan holder was never identified. Her lawsuit made it's way to the state Supreme Court in March, where Huelsman presented oral arguments against MERS, the lenders and their Attorney Robert Pratte.
In a unanimous decision, the 9 justices just ruled August 16th that under our state law, the beneficiary must hold the promissory note.
The bottom line- based on Washington state law, MERS is not a legal beneficiary unless it actually held the promissory note secured by the deed of trust when foreclosure was initiated- which in Bain's case, it did not.
"Obviously the court said no, MERS cannot be that entity, because it is not the note holder and it never is the note holder," explained Huelsman.
Huelsman says the implications are huge- with the potential to affect hundreds, perhaps thousands of foreclosures initiated by MERS in this state in the past 10 years.
The ruling could open the door for legal action by homeowners who've been foreclosed by "MERS," instead of an actual loan holder who's name is on the promissory note. It also has the potential to affect foreclosures currently being challenged because of MERS.
But the justices ruled that simply having MERS on your loan doesn't mean you have a case. The question is whether you suffered unfair ramifications because of MERS.
Washington state is one of several states where the legality of MERS initiated foreclosures is being challenged in court.

"When I started consulting, I couldn't find anyone in the United States to make cold calls. I went online and found a person who created amazing results," recalls Adam Fridman, owner of Chicago's Idea2Result, a lead-generation service for small businesses.
"Through the Internet," he says, "I can find professionals anywhere in the world. The Internet has made it possible for me to do anything. I've launched another site the same way."
Fridman doesn't sound arrogant or imply that he's special. He jokingly says his wife questioned his claim for six years.
Jake Finkelstein, CEO of Method Savvy LLC, a data-driven marketing agency in Durham, N.C., works with technology extensively. He says using tools like search engines and social media productively can create a sense of optimism, a sense and empowerment.
"However, when you don't know what you don't know," he says, "it leads you down the wrong path, ultimately wasting time and resources."
Although Internet resources do empower us, they don't tell us everything, particularly if we don't know where to look or overlook what's there. For example, a man who grows a plant successfully is frustrated because he can't create a knockoff of its fruit similar to one on the market. He doesn't have the equipment, knowledge or on-the-job experience doing all of the work that the process involves and thinks he should. The inability to do what he wants to do isn't the problem; the false belief that he, in his limited way, should be able to do it, is.
You can justify the "I-can-do-anything" mentality only sometimes. Technology doesn't teach how to write, create (develop, yes) or feel about our work. If people don't always know the correct question to ask, as Finkelstein says, how can the Internet empower them?
You might start by asking for help. Judith Bowman, author of "How To Stand Apart @Work" thinks the false sense of confidence overlooks that people advance relationships, and the world is based on personal relationships.
She advocates empowerment from interpersonal communication.
"Connecting with others to form authentic relationships cannot be accomplished by any one single medium," she says.
Perhaps the growing disillusionment with technology is bringing us back to the realization that true empowerment requires both people and technology.
I'm reminded of people who laughed, or almost laughed, at me pre-Internet for having a doctorate and not knowing something they did. The sense of empowerment higher education brings appears to go one step further than access to Internet resources. Education teaches that the more you know, the more you know you don't know. We can't know or do everything.
There's always another person who knows something you don't. Technology has led some people to believe that by getting the technology down pat, they can do anything. Alone? The ancient Greeks called that hubris.

Activities: biodiversity distribution patterns
Hint: The background information that will help you complete these activities is found in the videos and articles.
1. As you know, life can be found in many places. Some of these places are rather unexpected, such as those characterized by extreme temperatures. Go to the Extreme Life article and read up on different locations where you can find extreme life. Choose your favorite example and answer the following:
- What makes this extreme environment unique?
- Describe a special organism found there and what surprised you about it.
- What unique adaptations does the organism have that helps it survive in this extreme environment?
2. Humans have restricted the ranges of some species, and have expanded the ranges of other species. List four different things that humans have done that have expanded or contracted the ranges of different species. Do some research online or at your library and for each of the four ways you have listed, find an example of a specific type of organism that has been impacted by that factor and whether the organism's range was expanded or contracted. (Hint: any type of organism, such as plants, animals, fungi, microbes, etc., can be impacted by human activities, whether intentionally or not.)
3. Pull up a Google map of where you live. You can choose the size of the area by zooming in or zooming out. Look for physical factors in the area that can influence species ranges such as rivers, mountains, fresh water entering salt water, arroyos, lakes, and sand dunes. Next, look for human-made structures that can also influence species ranges such as major roads, large parking lots, shopping centers, dams, levees, landfills, etc.
Select two natural and two human-made barriers that you see and for each one describe one type of organism that might be affected by that barrier.

Minister: Morocco sugar sector suffers from poor infrastructure
Moroccan agriculture and rural development minister, Mohand Laenser, has recently said that the Kingdom's sugar production meets half of the population needs.
In an address read out on his behalf at the opening of a study day on agricultural development, Laenser stressed that efforts in agricultural research and supporting farmers have allowed a significant rise in sugar production estimated at over 500,000 tons annually.
However, noted the minister, the sector still suffers from poor infrastructure, limited capacity of processing plants and the delay in the sector liberalization.
In this regard, he argued, according to MAP, for a new approach that is likely to create favourable conditions to improve the competitiveness of Morocco's sugar. (menareport.com)

r23, at 21/22 Heath would have been far more capable at memorizing dialogue and complicated spells for the film. Radcliffe's 12 year old brain would have hardly been developed as Heath. If only the idiots making the film had a basic grasp of human maturation and psychology.
Those idiots are lucky Radcliffe didn't take someone's eye out with an errant wand thrust or destroy anything on set with a magic spell gone wrong. 12 year olds get into trouble like that, 21/22 year olds do not. Heath is simply the better choice for the movie, admit it.

Pedicures are a safe and healthy way for a woman to feel beautiful during her pregnancy. Tools used during the pedicure should be sterilized prior to use in order to prevent infection. When in doubt, some pregnant women choose to supply their own pedicure tools to the pedicurist. When choosing a salon, pregnant women should ensure there is enough ventilation to reduce odors and fumes associated with the application of acrylic nails, nail polish and pedicure chemicals. If the salon also offers hair treatments, fumes from perms and other styling processes could cause headaches and nausea.
Pedicures are exceptionally useful during pregnancy, as the abdomen grows larger. Eventually, the pregnant woman may not be able to tend to her own toenails as reaching them, or even seeing them, is impossible. When choosing a salon for a pedicure, it is important to choose a salon that autoclaves pedicure tools between uses. An autoclave will kill all fungus that can be passed from client to client. Chemical sterilization may kill bacteria, but it will not kill fungus.
A beautiful set of toenails can change the way a woman feels about herself. Pedicures, while safe during pregnancy, involve taking the risk of infection when completed in a salon setting. Home pedicures are a safer and cheaper alternative to achieving beautiful nails.

July 1, 2011 - Circuit Judge Peter M. Weinstein begins his two-year term as Chief Judge of the 17th Judicial Circuit of Florida today, July 1.

Chief Judge Weinstein takes the helm, bringing many years of experience with him. He received his Bachelor's Degree from New York University and his Juris Doctorate Degree from Brooklyn Law School. He served as a legal officer in the United States Army, as a prosecutor for Broward County, and was in private practice for many years before being appointed to the 17th Circuit bench in 1998. He also served as a Florida Senator for 14 years. Judge Weinstein is married, with two sons and three grandchildren.

Family hotel that's a good base for the Santa experience. Kids take over in December; for grown-ups there's a great bar and a spa.
A short drive from Saariselkä, these glass igloos are fabulous. There's an ice gallery, ice restaurant and an ice chapel for weddings.
Good option for families wanting to avoid the overgrown elves of the Holiday Club (above). Hotel Tunturi also has apartments, and a cheery bar.

Iran test flies first domestically built airliner
Iran's first domestically produced passenger plane, built with technical assistance from Ukraine, the medium-haul Iran-140, successfully completed its first test flight Wednesday.
Visiting Ukrainian Prime Minister Viktor Yushenko and Iran's First Vice President Hassan Habibi were among the guests to witness the test flight of the plane in Shahin-Shahr near the central city of Isfahan.
The test flight and landing of the twin-turboprop Iran-140—a license-built version of the Antonov An-140—was carried out by an Iranian pilot to mark the anniversary of Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution.
Habibi examined the 52-passenger aircraft, which was built by a branch of the Iranian defense ministry in Shahin-Shahr and has a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles).
Iran and Ukraine signed a contract in 1993 for the construction of 43 planes, each of which costs some nine million dollars. The aircraft first flew in Ukraine in 1997 and the first two Iranian models are to be built this year and a further 12 by 2004.
Seventy percent of the components were made in Iran and the remainder in Ukraine.
The first Iran-140 is set to join Iran's national fleet by the beginning of the new Iranian year in March and the defense ministry has ordered a further 127 planes.
Yushenko arrived in Iran Tuesday for a two-day visit for talks on a pipeline project and plans to purchase Iranian oil, as well as witness the test flight.
His visit follows one last week by Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi to Kiev, during which the two governments announced they were looking at ways of transporting natural gas to central and Western Europe through Ukraine.
Ukraine, heavily dependent on Russia for its energy needs, is actively seeking new suppliers of oil and gas.
During his visit to Kiev, Kharazi said Iran was ready to help Ukraine meet its energy demands. But Yushenko was quoted by Interfax as saying he will stick to his previous commitments not to provide Iran with technology that could be used to build its nuclear capabilities.
During Yushenko's visit, Ukraine and Iran will sign agreements on trade cooperation and on setting up a joint bank. Trade between the two countries totaled $115.2 million in 2000, according to Ukrainian government figures. — (AFP, Shahin-Shahr)

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Good morning.
Ahh. I see you have logged off.
Well, here's what I would suggest: You have, obviously, two choices: (1) change your husband or (2) change yourself.
Since it sounds like you have tried #1 and have not succeeded, it may be time to look at #2. (I mean, you can certainly continue to TRY to work on #1... but if your husband doesn't want to change, he won't!)
What do you mean"change myself".?
#2 is certainly trickier... and I'm certain you've been working on yourself throughout this time. But by "change yourself" I mean really one of several options: (a) stop worrying about sex altogether; (b) stop worrying about your husband's feeling about sex; (c) stay with your husband, but fulfill your sexual needs elsewhere; (d) leave your husband, and fulfill your sexual needs elsewhere.
Am I correct in assuming that your husband is unwilling to attend couples therapy?
Addressing #2 could well be "sorted out" in the context of a good relationship with a therapist, counselor, etc.
Actually the actual sex is not the priority,its the insinuation that he no longer wants aphysical relationship that is insulting and hurtful.I have worked hard to keep myself attractive and do feel rejected
Ahhh. This does clarify somewhat...
...but I think it does harken back to the original question of: Who/what are you going to change? Since it's unlikely you'll be able to change your husband's behavior (not wanting a physical relationship), what needs to change is your reaction to his behavior.
I read in your initial posting and in your chat posts... a sense of resentment and anger, which makes some sense.
...but if this has been brewing for the last 6 years... it's time for YOU to make some changes in how to respond to your husband's behavior.
Why should his behavior be viewed as "insulting?" Are you any less attractive because of his behavior?
Rejection is always insulting.Anyway is this behaviour grounds for divorce?
And yes I probably am less attractive because his behaviour makes my face set.

CLEVELAND -- Although the school year has already started for most Cleveland Metropolitan School District students, others are kicking things off a few days later.
Michael R. White STEM School is one of several schools starting Monday instead of last week. It's one of the district's poorer performing schools so teachers get more days for professional development prior to the start of the school year.
"We know we have to teach the subject, the students have to make meaning of the concepts and then they have to transfer that knowledge into real world situations," explains Jan Jaeckin, an intervention specialist with Michael R. White Stem.
This year, the school has a new principal. Ariel Hayes came from another area school district to work for CMSD. Hayes says she wanted to give back to students similar to herself.
"I grew up in a single-parent household," Hayes says. "We were not always living in our own home so I understand the aspect of homelessness to a degree," she says. "The teachers that I had throughout the experience at CMSD, but especially at Collinwood High School, prepared me for those life skills and helped me know I was ready to go to college and I could do something with myself."
As a Phase II Investment School, the staff have more control over how the school operates but they're also held accountable for the results.
"That is what drives me knowing that someone's watching that people are going to be very concerned about what' we're doing," explains Hayes. "That's that motivation to make sure we're hitting the mark and we need to show gains because all kids can learn."

To make booking a holiday at Hipotels Hipocampo Palace Hotel in Cala Millor easier for you, we provide a range of different payment options. To find out if you can book Hipotels Hipocampo Palace Hotel with a low deposit holiday option, please click the "Price and Availability" button above.
Cala Millor is the liveliest and largest holiday resort on Mallorca's rugged north-east coast. The name means 'better bay', which is indicative of its main attraction: a mile or more long stretch of sandy beach, which slopes gently into a crystal clear blue sea, protected at each end by rocky headlands. Sunbeds, parasols and pedalos can be hired for the day by sunseekers. The rest of the island's east coast is lined with inlets and coves, which are fun to explore.
Cala Millor developed as a favourite destination with holidaymakers from one hotel, the Eureka, built in the 1930s, and is now a bustling enclave of high-rise hotels and apartment blocks, slowly merging into neighbouring resorts along the coast, fronted by a wide pedestrian promenade along its alluring beach. Adjacent to Millor, across the headland to the north, is the quieter and more traditional resort of Cala Bona, with a little harbour, while a few miles to the south is the well-known resort of Sa Coma.
Cala Millor is about 40 miles (70km) from the Son Sant Joan International airport near Palma, the capital, in the south of the island. The area, particularly favoured by German holidaymakers, is packed with shops, markets, entertainment venues, bars and restaurants to ensure non-stop fun in the sun, particularly suited for family holidays.
Resort Rating
Cala Millor is designed primarily for a relaxing beach holiday, its seafront strewn with sunbeds and pleasant pavement cafes where one can sit back and watch the world go by. The beach is well supplied with all the popular watersports offered by local operators, and glass-bottom boat trips. The more energetic can enjoy strolling the promenade to the headlands and beyond, seeking out the creeks and coves of the coastline. A little further afield are a golf course, waterpark and several other attractions including a safari park and the Drach underground caves, all accessible by bus.
There is a wide choice of restaurants scattered along the seafront promenade of Cala Millor, and around the fishing harbour at adjacent Cala Bona. Most are eclectic, serving a variety of dishes to cater for the tastes of hungry holidaymakers with others dedicated to international cuisine. Oxford Blue, Cafeteria Restaurante Bella Vista, Alahambra and Antonio Montoro are Cala Millor's top-rated eateries for holidaymakers. Fast-fooders will find Burger King and KFC at hand.
Nightlife in Cala Millor is essentially low-key compared to some of Spain's well-known rowdy holiday hotspots. A great deal of evening entertainment is hotel-based, but those who like to be out and about will find plenty of fun at the numerous British bars, like Cheers, which offer a variety of pursuits from karaoke to quiz evenings or bingo. The younger set is catered for in a few discos, the largest being Palace Q, open from 10pm to 6am with a dress code and mix of Spanish and international music. The club scene, however, is not as boisterous as that to which the 18-30 crowd is generally accustomed.
Holidaymakers will find that the pedestrian promenade that runs along the Cala Millor seafront is jam-packed with stores and stalls selling a multitude of souvenirs and tourist requisites, open until late in the evenings. Visitors will find, however, that the selection is repeated over and over again in the different stores and variety is limited. A fun option for shopping enthusiasts is to head for Mallorca's markets where bargains like lace tablecloths or leather goods can be picked up, after a bit of haggling. The closest markets to Cala Millor are Son Servera, held on Friday mornings, and Monacor on Mondays. Special buses are usually available for holidaymakers to reach the bigger markets, particularly those at Palma and Inca.
Visitors looking for a good party and clubbing-scene should look to other resorts as the nightlife is fairly limited in Cala Millor. There is not much variety when it comes to shopping.

Ups and Downs…
Since our last update, Aiden had to make a special trip to clinic. After multiple nights of no sleep and a sore throat, we were concerned there was a problem. What we learned, his counts were much higher than they should be which suggests there is an infection. They gave him fluids and an antibiotic so we could go home and wait. The blood culture never presented anything major and he got better with each day.
Wednesday, Aiden celebrated his 5th birthday. We did what we could to make it special, and he loved it! There were balloons, bubbles and lots of presents. He received more than 80 cards in the mail, and he was excited by every one of them. We had passed a video camera around so those who are closest to him could take part in his day. What a special gift we will keep always. He absolutely loved all the happy wishes and was singing happy birthday to himself by the end of the recordings.
On Thursday, we spent a "Normal" day at the clinic. His doctors and nurses are wonderful and truly make extra efforts to cater to his needs. We have put our faith and trust in them, and are so thankful they are with us through this journey. After a trying day, he still showed amazing strength. He played in his toy room for the first times since before being hospitalized July 1st. What a special boy and an amazing example of courage. This is why he is our super hero, our Amazing "A"!
Friday, a special treat! Ashlynn and Katie were in for the Holiday weekend. For some, and extra day is a day of rest. For Aiden, an extra day with his sister is full of fun. This means more smiles for all of us!
The weekend was difficult! Ups and downs does not explain how things change in a blink of an eye. This past weekend he experienced terrible sensitivity to the touch, it was painful for him. This led us to a night on the sofa, to avoid disturbing his sleep. Medicine, even in apple sauce, is traumatic again. On Sunday, he lost every bit of it trying to overcome the thought, smell and taste of it.
His hair, it's on its way out. We have struggled with telling him, but now we're sure he knows. Days of pulling it out of his mouth, off his shirt and anything he touched…it remains!
This week he's taken great strides. He's pushing through what we couldn't, even when he feels bad. You'll see this in pictures this week. Scott, he loves your visits and so do we.
This Thursday at clinic, he will begin his next round of the aggressive chemo. It will include a long day and multiple different treatments. Again, we will administer chemo from home over the weekend. Pray he trusts us, as we need him to believe we only do this to help make him better.
