Brush Police requests donations for K-9 program
The Brush Police Department is asking the community for donations to start a K-9 program, which would cost approximately $11,000.
Recently the Brush Police Department intercepted more than 2 pounds of methamphetamine from a traffic stop with a street value of more than $100,000. The Colorado State Patrol in September intercepted $205,000 in cash close to Brush which was related to illegal drug transactions. The funding request is to purchase a narcotics trained K-9 dog and handler training along with people and article searches. The department is not interested in obtaining a "bite" dog.
This K-9 would be made available to all agencies within the 13th Judicial District and the goal is to utilize the K-9 in public demonstrations and throughout the schools in an effort to increase public relations and get kids to approach officers. The idea is for the K-9 be a deterrent, as well the interdiction aspect as far as drugs being brought into schools.
The Brush Police Department should be able to financially support the associated equipment and additional training needed to sustain the program through normal budgetary processes. Donations for the K-9 start-up costs can be made directly to the Brush Police Department.
FM Museum exhibit looks at one-room schoolhouse history
An ongoing exhibit at Fort Morgan Museum offers a glimpse of the important history of one-room schoolhouses in Morgan County. "The One Room Schoolhouse — Morgan County, CO" runs through Dec. 31 in the museum's Lower Level Gallery.
This exhibit preserves the one-room school story before it vanishes forever. Once there were more than 100 schools spread across the prairies of Morgan County; now few remain, and most of them are in advanced stages of disrepair.
The show was created by Thelma Downing (research, history and fieldwork) and David Roberts (research, fieldwork and photography). The exhibit includes photographs of schoolhouse sites, accompanied by Google Earth images of each location.
These schoolhouses were often products of the homesteading era, when federal lands were opened. The farmers and ranchers who came to stake their claim all wanted their children to be educated. One-room schools, usually built by the community, were constructed every 2 to 4 miles. Generally, one teacher was hired to instruct grades one through eight. For over 75 years, these schools provided education to Morgan County's youth.
Using a mixture of past and present photographs, the exhibit is a comprehensive study of the one-room schoolhouse through the microcosm of Morgan County.

Al-Anon offers hope for families and friends of alcoholics
Many people of all ages suffer from the affects of alcoholism, especially the loved ones. Family and friends of alcoholics usually blame themselves for the turmoil in their lives, and they often are unaware of how someone else's drinking affects them. It can cause depression, anger, frustration and despair; it often seems as though there is no hope. This can go on from generation to generation unless the pattern in interrupted.
But if you or someone you know is affected by a loved one's drinking, there is help and hope. Al-Anon is a fellowship of family and friends of alcoholics. By sharing their experience, strength and hope, participants can help aid each other in the recovery from the affects of alcoholism.
Meetings are anonymous and cost nothing. In Fort Morgan, regular Al-Anon meetings are held at the United Way building at 106 E. Kiowa three times a week. On Tuesdays and Fridays, they are from 7 to 8 p.m. Wednesday meetings are from 9 to 10 a.m.

Riverside Park tent camping area to close for repairs
The tent camping area at Fort Morgan's Riverside Park will close Monday, Oct. 17, to allow the Parks Department to make repairs to the grassy space that has seen heavy use this summer, according to the city.
The tent camping area is expected to be closed for approximately six weeks. The free RV parking spaces will remain available.
The tent camping area requires turf repairs that will involve aerating, over-seeding and top dressing of the entire area. To allow the new grass seed sufficient time to sprout and get established, foot traffic must be kept off the area for approximately six weeks.
The irrigation system in the tent camping area also must be checked and repaired, which has not been possible for several months because of heavy use. Tree trimming and stump removal are also planned.

Weeks-long Barlow Road/U.S. 34 closure underway
Barlow Road is fully closed to all traffic just north of U.S. Highway 34. This closure started Oct. 10 and is expected to continue for several weeks, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation, which is heading up the construction project. It is for work on the rebuilding of the intersection of these two major roads.
Traffic detour signage is in place for motorists to follow, and speed limits are reduced in the construction zone. Drivers are advised to plan for delays and detours and avoid the area if possible, and allow extra time to travel through the work area or along the detour routes.
No traffic will be permitted on Barlow from Highway 34 north to East Eighth Avenue, and only local traffic (no through traffic) will be allowed on Barlow south of Eighth Avenue.
The closure of Barlow is necessary to reconstruct the north side of the intersection with Highway 34, which includes removing existing concrete, widening of the intersection, installation of new curb and gutter and placement of new concrete paving. In order to complete the work most efficiently the closure will remain in place for several weeks.
Other closures may be expected in the area of this intersection over the next few months, as the entire intersection will be rebuilt including new traffic signals, acceleration lanes and other improvements.
Anyone with questions about the project can contact CDOT's public information team at 970-427-4227 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

This year's General Election is Tuesday, Nov. 8.
You can always register to vote or update your registration through election day online at www.govotecolorado.com or by visiting the Morgan County Election Department at 231 Ensign St., Fort Morgan, Colorado. This is also the place to vote in person or to replace a damaged or lost ballot.

Live ballots available for traveling voters
"Live" ballots are now available at the Morgan County Elections Office. The clerk is required to allow anyone who may not be able to receive their mail-in ballot at their address to pick one up. The voter may appear in the election office to obtain a ballot and vote in person or be issued the ballot to be delivered back to the office by mail once they vote.
The county only offers this option for those voters who may be leaving the area, for example, for warmer weather and will not return to retrieve their ballot in the mail because they are leaving before the ballots are sent out. They will only allow this if the voter is not able to access their mail during election season, so it is more or less for someone who may be vacationing outside of the area and is not expected to return before Election Day.

Movies are all about telling stories. Sometimes those stories are fictional, and sometimes those stories are ripped right from the pages of real life. Often times, those real life stories wind up being the most compelling, at least when executed the right way. Lion is one of those movies and more so, it is one of the best movies of 2016.
Lion tells the real-life story of Saroo Brierley who was separated from his family in India at the age of 5, who then winds up being adopted by a family in Australia. Years later, he decides to go on a quest to find his long-lost mom and brother, but at great personal cost. On paper, it is a very simple premise but one that comes with a lot of very intense, very grounded and very real emotion that anyone should be able to relate to.
There is no question that something like Lion could just have easily been made into a semi-effective Lifetime movie with B-list actors and a second-rate director who is just cashing a paycheck. Fortunately, this story got the treatment it deserved. In the best of circumstances (and Lion was clearly made under the best of circumstances), people who bring genuine passion to the project will make sure to tell a story like this in a way that makes the audience feel as though they are taking this journey themselves, or at least experience the emotion of that journey. It is truly remarkable that director Garth Davis hasn't actually made a feature length movie before, because a movie like this with such subtlety and expert craft would make you think he had been in the Oscar race many times before, much like when someone on the level of say a Gus Van Sant, makes a good movie. Sure, Garth Davis directed the first season of Top of the Lake, which was super solid, but movies are not TV and TV shows are not movies. The talent doesn't always translate.
As much as Garth Davis is owed for the success that is Lion, this is a personal story and thus, it relies very heavily on the people in it. To that point, the cast hits it out of the park from top to bottom. Even in the early parts of the movie, which take place entirely in India and largely centers on the talents of child actors, everything works. Sunny Pawar deserves a ton of recognition for playing the young version of Saroo, because he anchors the emotional ride you are going on for the rest of the movie. With that said, the performance turned in by Dev Patel as Saroo is award worthy and could be the best of his career, which has admittedly been varied, but definitely has some truly shining moments. Lion is easily going to put him right in the awards season conversation. Mark my words; the Oscars will not be so white this year, but not because there is social pressure, but because there are elements of this movie that deserve recognition.
The second and third acts of Lion rest heavily on Dev Patel's shoulders and he should be applauded for his efforts, but his supporting cast is equally as strong, with whatever screen time they are given. Rooney Mara and Nicole Kidman both crush it as his love interest and adopted mother, respectively. David Wenham also winds up being the adopted father that most guys who had a less than adequate father growing up wish they had. I could run down the entire IMDB cast list for this movie and just heap praise onto the entire ensemble, but just know that everyone is great, as is often the case with great movies. They oddly go hand-in-hand that way.
What is perhaps most important in a movie like Lion is that it did not get the typical "white guy" treatment that Hollywood is very famous for. This is a story about something that happened to an Indian person and it is told largely in that environment and told from that perspective. How easy it would have been in the hands of lesser talent to tell this story from the white mom's perspective or something like that. Or on the flipside, how easy it would have been to essentially play it in the much less classy "Look how diverse we are being! Aren't we so diverse?!" fashion. This movie does it tastefully, but as though it isn't a big deal. It is simply the way it needed to be and should be. That said, with all of the complaints that Hollywood loves to whitewash and doesn't promote diversity, it is equally important for audiences to support a movie like Lion so that Hollywood will continue to have a reason (beyond the fact that it is the right thing to do) to keep making these movies. Also, you should see Lion because it is a seriously fantastic and moving movie.
Coming from The Weinstein Company, Lion is a movie based on the book A Long Way Home, which was written by the real Saroo Brierley. Sometimes, it is better to see a movie after you read the book. Sometimes the opposite is true. I can't speak to that in the case of Lion, because I did not read the book. What I will say is that seeing this movie and not knowing what is going to happen is largely what made it work.Though, if you have read the book I still wholly encourage you to see the movie. I can't think of any good reason someone shouldn't see this movie. No, it doesn't have a lot of action or fast paced editing or anything like that. No fancy tricks, but it will make you feel something real. Depending on your level of emotional response, you should either bring a small cup or perhaps a bucket to catch your tears. Either way, go see this movie.

Today I re-organized a craft cupboard for the kids. It had previously been half china, half coloring books, but I realized that: A. The china was not going to survive this situation, and B. The coloring books get far more use than the china. So I decided to give the whole cupboard over to the kids and put my china in a higher and safer place (although harder for me to get down).
It's not perfect, but better than before. The stuff that I don't want the kids to reach on their own is at the top. Crayons and coloring books (they multiply in the dark) at the bottom.
This brings me to crayons. We have hundreds of crayons. We have crayons that were mine, my husbands, and quite possibly crayons from the sixties. And every year for school, we buy MORE crayons.
As I was putting all the crayons in their new box, I noticed the Crayola labels that changed over time. I think the smell has changed too, although that probably has something to do with the fact that Crayola used to make them with lard, and now use vegetable oils. (My dog used to happily eat crayons - must have been the lard)

This is great! I do agree that crayons smell different now. Your blog is so pretty! And I love how you post so many pictures. Yep. Gotta figure out how to do that. And I need to beautify my blog. It's quite, well, BARE. Keep blogging...I like what I see. :)

Need help framing artwork? Do you have a special painting you would like frame, or are you just putting the finishing touch on one of your own masterpieces! If yes, then here are a few tips on how to get it right.
The Frame:
Choose a frame that will suit the painting rather than the decor of the room it's going to hang in. Often a simple black, white or light oak frame will look good, you don't want to overpower or detract from the work itself.
The Mount:
You will need to use a mount for a pencil, pastel or watercolour work, just to create some space between the paper and the glass. The size of mount will vary but generally it should be bigger than the frame, around 60mm-100mm depending on the size of the work.
The work always looks more balanced if you leave a little more space at the bottom of the mount than the top. It's a bit of a visual illusion but if it's right in the centre it almost looks like it is slipping off the bottom! The mount should complement the painting in colour, so it's often best to stay neutral, after all the painting is the focus.
The Glass:
You don't have to use glass if you are framing an oil painting, but works on paper need glass to protect them. You can use ordinary glass in most cases, although non-glare glass is better if pieces are in front of windows.
The downside is that some clarity is lost. An increasingly popular and contemporary option to glass is perspex which is lighter and more resilient than glass and can be used with clipping mechanisms rather than a frame.
Acid Free:
Always use acid free materials when framing, otherwise your beautiful artwork will discolour over time.
If you get the presentation right, your work will look 100% better. Guaranteed!

As Congress considers a bill that would change management of the San Rafael Swell and nearby areas in Emery County, there has been some confusion over who supports the bill, which is known as the Emery County Public Land Management Act. According to a White House memo, a number of recreation groups support the bill. But according to Jason Keith, the senior policy advisor for the Access Fund, one group that was named as supportive, his group has yet to endorse the bill. He said instead that they are supportive of the process.
Rep. John Curtis of Utah, who is sponsoring the bill, said the bill establishes 380,000 acres of conservation area and 575,000 acres of wilderness for a total of nearly a million acres of permanent conservation. The bill also creates the Temple Mountain Cooperative Management Area, addresses management of lands around Goblin Valley State Park and establishes the 2,500-acre Jurassic National Monument, Curtis said.
"We've been working with staff in John Curtis' office and Orrin Hatch's office since the early part of the year on this," said Keith. "They've been really good about reaching out and checking in with us on various provisions in the bill … They've made some significant changes related to recommendations we made in the bill that improved recreation access out there … A large national conservation area is being established … and initially they had an advisory committee that was populated by a bunch of more traditional stakeholders [including] motorized recreation. They created a seat on there for non-motorized recreation to have input on the development of the management plan. That's a pretty significant thing for us. In the recreation community, we don't have a whole lot of legal anchors to tie to in terms of getting recognition in legislation … getting seats on advisory committees for planning is a really big part of it for us."
Keith said that Curtis' office has been less ideological than previous legislation, particularly the Public Lands Initiative.
"Some might not give them credit for this but compared to a lot of other bills we've seen out there, we feel it's definitely a step in the right direction," Keith said.
While some conservation groups have endorsed the bill, others remain dubious. The Utah Sierra Club and the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance both want more land to be included in the protected areas, among other requests. SUWA has also expressed concern about "cherry-stemming," the practice of exempting roads from wilderness or conservation area designations, resulting in long, thin strips of unprotected land.
Keith said that for his group to endorse the bill, they would need some changes related to rock-climbing access.
"Some of the anchors that climbers use, we want to make sure that there's a good mechanism for maintaining what's there and we haven't got that language yet but they're seriously considering it, or some version. So we feel like we might get a lot closer to actually endorsing the bill if we can get that language in there," Keith said. "I'm really hopeful that some of the conservation groups can get what they need to get behind this because there's just very few opportunities like this to get something positive done. I understand that there's still some complications for them, especially related to travel management, that they view as a poison pill in this. They want to see more conservation acreage, also more wilderness. I feel like this is pretty far in that direction in that it is truly a balancing act. If we go too much further, the county and some other stakeholders are going to not be supportive. It really is difficult and I'm hopeful we can get there."

Volcano boarding
Snow boarders who don't covet the cold and wet are in luck. There's now a warmer, drier version called volcano boarding, and just like it sounds, you barrel down the barren ash slopes of a volcano (the more active, the better) at death-defying speeds. That's right: hike to the summit, take in the outstanding views, then hurl yourself to the bottom on a specially constructed sled-like board. Cerro Negro, a young, 2,388-foot volcano in western Nicaragua, is the site of some intense boarding, as is Mount Yasur, an ever-erupting 1,184-footer on the island of Tanna, part of the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu.

Fall is in the air and Balloon Fiesta is right around the corner. That means it must be time for me to announce Mesa Real Estate Institute's October Continuing Education Schedule!
October Continuing Education Schedule – 2017 Core Course
Emphasis during October is definitely on the 2017 Core Course. Mesa Real Estate Institute is sponsoring 4 classes to give brokers who prefer alternative days/times plenty of opportunities to complete their requirement. Classes are in Albuquerque unless otherwise noted.
Tuesday October 3rd from 1 to 5pm in Deming NM. I'll be travelling to Deming NM to teach the Core Course and a Core Elective in the same day. Purchase tickets to the Core Course here. There's more info on the Core Elective below.
Monday October 16th from 5 to 9PM. Do you work from full time at another job? I know there are many brokers that do. By offering the class in the evening I'm hoping to provide a solution to you that will allow you to complete the Core Course requirement without taking a day off work. You may have to get off a bit early to get to the UNM Continuing Education Building by 5pm, but hopefully it's better than wasting a whole vacation day or sick day. Purchase tickets here.
Saturday October 21st from 9am to 1pm. My Saturday morning classes have been very popular! The class I just held had travelers from Santa Fe, Raton and Grants New Mexico. The slightly later start time (9am) gives you a little more time to make the drive to Albuquerque, and if you're a real estate broker here in Albuquerque you can take the class and still have time to show homes or do an Open House at 2pm. Class is at the UNM Continuing Ed Building. Purchase Tickets here.
Tuesday October 24th from 1 to 5pm. I've gotten feedback from out of town brokers that when they travel to Albuquerque they'd like to be able to complete two continuing education classes in the same day, so I'm doubling up and offering a Core Elective and the Core Course on the 24th. The Core Elective I'm offering that morning is Clear the Confusion: Offers (Counters, Multiples, Contingencies, etc). You can read more about it below. Purchase tickets for the Core Course here.
I'll also be teaching at GAAR on the 9th, and in Las Cruces on the October 11th. Contact GAAR and LCAR for more details.
Core Electives in October
As you probably know by now, in addition to the annual Core Course requirement, there's a Core Elective requirement that you need to complete once during your three year licensing cycle.
Read about the new NM continuing ed requirements
Here are the Core Electives that I am offering:
Clear the Confusion: Offers (Counters, Multiples, etc.) This is a great class that covers offer acceptance and delivery, back up offers, contingent offers, multiple offers and more.
Tuesday October 3rd in Deming NM from 8am to noon. Purchase tickets here.
Wednesday October 4th from 5 to 9pm. Purchase tickets here.
Tuesday October 24th from 8am to noon. Purchase tickets here.
Other October Classes from Mesa Real Estate Institute:
RANM's Many Misc Forms in Rio Rancho
October 19th from 5 to 9pm. This is a new class I'm offering that covers many of the forms not covered in other course. You can read more about the course here. Purchase tickets here.
This is going to be a fun, interactive classes modeled after the Core Class. We'll be doing activities that have us moving around the room working in teams to solve problems and increase our familiarity with the lesser used RANM forms.

The Ilya Muromets (Sikorsky S-22) was designed and constructed by Igor Sikorsky at the Russo-Baltic Railcar Factory (RBVZ) in Riga in 1913. It was based on his earlier S-21 Le Grand Baltique (later renamed Russky Vityaz i.e. Russian Knight) which had played an important role in the development of Russian aviation and the multi-engine aircraft design all over the world.
Russia had a chance to become the birthplace of the first multi-passenger and multi-engine airliner. The Ilya Muromets, named after the ancient "superhero" (literally Elijah of Murom) who personified strength in Russian folk tales, was built as a luxurious transport aircraft, not without a thought of future Arctic expeditions.
With its 98-ft wingspan it was the first-ever airplane to have an insulated passenger saloon, comfortable wicker chairs, a bedroom, a lounge and even the first airborne toilet. The aircraft also had heating and electric lighting. The S-22 cockpit was spacious, and openings on both sides of the fuselage permitted mechanics to climb out onto the wings to service the engines in flight. Hatch on the left side provided an exit to the front bridge. Behind the cockpit was a large passenger cabin with four large windows on each side. Placed at the rear was a stairway to the upper bridge and a washroom. Further back was a private cabin which included a berth, small table and a cabinet. Lighting was provided by a wind driven generator and heating was supplied by two long engine exhaust pipes which passed through the corners of the cabin.
On 10 December 1913, the Ilya Muromets was tested in the air for the first time, and on 25 February 1914, took off for its first demonstration flight with 16 passengers aboard. From 21 to 23 June, it set a world record by making a return flight from St Petersburg to Kiev, a distance of some 1200 km, and back. The first leg took 14 hours and 38 minutes with one landing for fuel - at Orsha, and the return one, with a fuel stop at Novosokolniki, took even less time, some 13 hours.
With the beginning of World War I, Sikorsky (see portrait above) decided to change the design of the aircraft to become the world's first purpose-designed bomber. Internal racks carried up to 800 kg of bombs, and positions for up to nine machine guns were added for self-defense. The engines were protected with thin (5mm) armor.
In August 1914, the Ilya Muromets was adopted by the Imperial Russian Air Force. On 10 December 1914, the Russians formed their first 10-bomber squadron, slowly increasing the number to 20 by the summer of 1916. During World War I, the Germans often refused to attack Ilya Muromets in the air due to their defensive firepower. On 12 September 1916, the Russians lost their first Muromets in a fight with four German Albatros fighters, not before it managed to shoot down three of them. This was also the only loss to enemy action during the war, while three others were damaged in combat, but managed to return to base to be repaired.
There was an early (1914) navalized version on floats, fitted with 200 h.p. Salmson engines instead of 100 h. p. Arguses. It was destroyed by its crew in the first days of Great War, when a number of "German destroyers" approached the Isle of Esel (as it appeared later, the ships were not German, but the plane had been already consumed by fire).
Sikorsky bomber inspired German multi-engine R-planes that deserve a special chapter in the Knights of the Air story.
The Russians built 73 Ilya Muromets bombers between 1913 and 1918. During this period, the Russians were the first to perform bombing from heavy bombers, bomber group raids on enemy targets, night bombing and photographic bomb damage assessment. They were also the first to develop defensive tactics for a single bomber engaged in an air combat with a number of enemy fighters. Due to systematic weapon upgrades, the effectiveness of bomb-dropping reached 90%. The bombers performed more than 400 sorties and dropped 65 tons of bombs during the war.
The most common model of the Ilya Muromets was the S-23 V, with 32 built 1914-1916.
By the end of 1916, the design has become obsolete. The ensuing modifications, such as additional armor, made the aircraft too heavy and not worthy of upgrading. Only four bombers remained at the frontline, the others were relegated to trainer duties. However, in 1917 there were attempts to develop a new navalized version, some kind of flying minelayer / ASW plane.
In 1918-1921 the old planes took part in the Civil War, mostly on the Red side, and also in the Russo-Polish war. Mikhail Vodopyanov, a famed Arctic pilot, recalls (in his book "Friends in the Sky") a conversation with an old aviator who fought on Muromets. He was told that the bomber was successfully used a ground attacker, dropping lances (sic!) on enemy cavalry. The number of hits was minimal (if any), but the sound of falling lances was awful enough to make the enemy retreat. Probably it's a legend but a beautiful one.
The last flight of an Ilya Muromets bomber took place in 1922 at the Air Shooting and Bomb-dropping School in Serpukhov. Before that, two planes served as passenger & mail transport at the new Moscow - Kharkiv airline.
One Muromets replica exists in the Monino Air Museum near Moscow.

About Playa de Muro
Playa de Muro is the largest sand beach on Mallorca and includes four sections that in total cover nearly six kilometres. Located in the town of Muro, near Alcúdia, on the northeast coast of the island, each of the four beaches that make-up Playa de Muro are white sand, some with sand dunes. Playa de Muro is a perfect beach for all ages groups and caters to tourists and locals alike. It is a very popular beach for families because of its easy access, restaurants, onsite facilities, kid focused activities such as dedicated play areas, and the exceptionally shallow waters in which you have to walk quite far before it gets deep. Playa de Muro is a very popular base for holiday destinations with all of the large hotels and rental apartments within walking distance to the beach.
Section 1 beach, known simply as Playa de Muro, is only about 3 kilometres from Port d'Alcudia beach. Because of its proximity, this is the perhaps the most popular beach on Playa de Muro, with a large number of hotels and restaurants, easy parking and other facilities directly backing up to the beach.
Playa de Alcudia
A long, white sand beach that is a popular holiday destination for families and young people. Water sports, restaurants, hotels and a Blue Flag award. […] Playa de Alcudia
Section 2 is slightly less busy, but is still very easily accessible to all of the same facilities. As you move into Sector 3, also known as Sa Comu, the beach is quieter, with facilities and access requiring more of a walk, though parking can be found at both ends of this 1.5 kilometre beach. This section is part of the S'Albufera Natural Park and sand dunes and pine trees surround this natural stretch of beach.
Finally, Sector 4, called Es Cappellans, starts to become more popular again with all restaurants, hotels and facilities right at the beach. This final sector is right near the popular resort of Can Picafort.
Can Picafort
If you plan a visit to the family-friendly holiday resort of Can Picafort, check out our abcMallorca guide to make the most of your stay in north Mallorca. […] Can Picafort
On all of these beaches there are plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas available for rent as well as ample space for your beach towel if you prefer to be directly on the sand. The shallow, clear blue water along Playa de Muro is generally quite calm but on windy days the surf can pick up making small, choppy waves.
Water sports are everywhere on Playa de Muro such as paddle boats, kite surfing, wind surfing, stand up paddle boarding to name a few. The long boardwalk with cafe's, restaurants, hotels, and shops, small parks and facilities is another bonus that makes this a major holiday destination in the summer months, particularly for Germans, English and Scandinavians. The local tourist office and doctor's office can be found here as well. The nearby town of Muro has supermarkets and pharmacies.
Despite its large size, Playa de Muro has managed to stay one of the cleanest and eco-responsible beaches on the island, and is proud to fly the prestigious Blue Flag award. Es Cappellans, Sector 4 of Playa de Muro is the only beach here without a Blue Flag award.
This abcMallorca guide explores Muro, the traditional north east Mallorcan town with a history of luxury, excellent food, wine, designer villas and more. […] Muro
Safety and Access
Playa de Muro is easily accessed by car or bus (regular connections are from Alcudia or Can Picafort), with plenty of paid parking available onsite. If staying nearby take a bike or go on foot to make for even easier access. Sectors 1, 2 and 4 are the most wheelchair and handicap accessible with the boardwalk and parking the closest to the beach. Onsite changing facilities with showers and toilets are all within easy walking distance from the beach itself, something families particularly appreciate. Taxi's are also available and can take you from town to any of the different sections of the beach as well.
Lifeguard stations are open on all four sections of the beach and provide warning flags for water conditions. The water itself is well marked with flags and buoys indicating swimming, water sports, or boats.
Major Attractions nearby Playa de Muro
There are so many activities on Playa de Muro, but finding some time to visit other attractions further afield is a must. For golf lovers, a visit to the nearby Alcanada golf resort is a must. And for bird watchers and nature lovers, S'Alfubera Natural Park is a beautiful stretch of natural wetlands and great for hiking and biking. Another interesting attraction is the Fundacion Yannick and Ben Jakober, a beautifully designed artists house filled with their private collection that includes children's portraits from all ages and eclectic animal sculptures.
Port d'Alcúdia and Alcudia are close by at just a few kilometres away. The historical town and the largest port on the island, there are always lots of activities and events throughout the summer.

Experienced golfers should enjoy this spectacular 18-hole course with its stunning views, and challenging bunkers and long drives. […] Club de Golf Alcanada

Privacy and why is it important?

Creating our own space for relaxation and play to share with family and friends will go a long way to reducing stress.

Featured: Buffalo Styled Shoot on The Lovewell Post
Well, Groundhog Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow this year, so that means that spring is just around the corner! That makes me a happy girl, as I've been missing the Arizona sunshine so much lately.
It also means that brides are planning their spring/summer weddings right now, so I was thrilled to see photos from our concept shoot with PEAR shared on The Lovewell Post last week. Thanks so much for the feature, Kate! To get a dose of inspiration from many talented local WNY vendors, head over to The Lovewell Post.
By the way, Buffalo brides: have you gotten your ticket to the Boutique Bridal Party yet? I plan to pop in and join the fun — hope to see you there!

With the scored tied at three in the bottom of the ninth, Rangers reliever Jason Grilli was in a bases-loaded, two-out jam. If he could get Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain out, the Rangers would escape to extra innings and keep their hopes at winning the game alive. Grilli got Cain to hit a catchable ball into right field, and that's when the sun decided to be a huge dickhead.
Shin-Soo Choo tracked the ball, but the brightness of the sun was too much for his glasses and glove to overcome, and he dropped what would have been a game-saving out.
Cain thanked the sun for gifting him a walk-off hit during his postgame interview, but he shouldn't feel too guilty about how things played out. He had to spend the day waging his own battles against the bright, rude star.

The Grays Harbor County Sheriff's department moved the base of operations for the search to the County Sheriff's offices earlier this month.
Grays Harbor County Undersheriff Rick Scott tells KBKW that the McCleary Bear Festival required the parking and rooms that were being used to accommodate the investigators in the case. "We'll work out of here, go to McCleary as needed, and be able to follow up on leads outside of McCleary in a more organized fashion."
Officials also began tearing down the extensive interagency efforts in McCleary, and releasing some of the 15 to 10 officers per day that have been assisting in the investigation. "We're going to have to accept that this is going to be a case that's assigned to a smaller team of officers" said Scott.
Investigators would still like to talk to anyone who may have seen anything in McCleary between 9 and 10 pm Friday – june 26th when the little girl failed to return to her home on Mommsen Road from a friend's house on Maple street a few blocks away.
Police are also asking that people get their facts from the police or local media, and to not flood tip lines with rumors heard second hand, or online.
Investigators looking for the missing McCleary girl say it's unlikely she ran away or is playing a prank on her family, FBI investigators have said it is also unlikely that she was abducted by a stranger, and more likely someone she knew.
Police are following up on several leads in the case, Scott tells us that the Forensic Investigation on Lindsey's home computer has turned up little more, and that they have expanded the computer level search to other computers that Lindsey may have used to access her internet profiles, including the local public library's computer.
Scott said that video footage taken from a nearby Shell station yielded no stand-out leads, some leads are still being investigated from the video. Scott added that the footage is now being investigated by forensics teams, in hopes of enhancing some of the video.
Grays Harbor County Sheriff Mike Whelan says that, early in the investigation, investigators have received many tips, and that so far the investigation has yielded no primary suspects. "We've been sending teams of detectives out to follow up on those tips" "as far as suspects are concerned, we don't have anyone that we can say is the suspect"
"I just need my daughter home," Melissa Baum, the girl's mother told The Aberdeen Daily World. She said she's afraid someone has taken her daughter and away from McCleary, a town of about 1,500.
Lindsey's mother reported her missing Friday night.
Chief George Crumb of the McCleary Police Department said that weekend that friends and family are assisting the search, and that while his department hopes Baum just ran off on her own, "she's been gone far too long."
Melissa Baum said she is afraid someone has taken her daughter, and taken her away from McCleary.
"If anyone does have her, bring her back home or take her to a pay phone where she can call home," Baum said.
No Amber Alert was initiated because no one had seen anyone take her. Lindsey Baum was reported as a missing child.
"It did not meet any of the criteria for an Amber Alert," Crumb said.
McCleary Police set up the initial search, but called in the Sheriffs Office at 4 a.m., Patrick said. Thurston County sheriffs deputies, FBI Officials, and the Washington State Patrol are also assisting.

Indiana Car Insurance
No matter which state you live in, one thing is always certain and that is that if you drive a motor vehicle, you will need to have insurance. It's the law. Indiana car insurance needs to meet minimum standards as set by the Indiana Department of Insurance. However, for added protection you may wish to carry optional coverages by endorsement to your policy or as a separate policy altogether. If price is a factor, there are several ways to seek discounted Indiana car insurance, but first you will need to understand the state mandated minimum coverages.
Indiana Car Insurance Laws
One of the first things you will see when looking at Indiana car insurance is a strange set of figures that reads 25/50/10. To the layperson, that looks like some odd mathematical formula, but it simply states that you are required to carry a minimum of $25,000 personal injury for bodily injury (BI) to a single person, $50,000 total for 2 or more persons and a minimum of $10,000 property damage(PD). This is on a per accident basis. Also, Indiana requires that all newly written policies in the State of Indiana carry Uninsured Motorist and Underinsured Motorist Bodily Injury and Property Damage as well, unless rejected in writing. Those minimum requirements are the same dollar amounts as state mandated BI & PD.
Optional Insurance Coverage
Of course, there are a number of optional coverages which you can add by endorsement to your Indiana car insurance policy such as Collision, Comprehensive, Roadside Assistance and Rental Reimbursement. These are all first party coverages that are not required by law but can often protect you against devastating losses whether or not fault is an issue. For example, most people don't know that their vehicle is not covered against theft unless they carry Comprehensive coverage! Also, should you be found at fault or even partially at fault, your vehicle will not be covered unless you carry Collision insurance. Some automobile owners also choose to carry separate Umbrella insurance policies that cover a certain dollar amount above and beyond what their primary policy covers.
Possible Discounts Available in Indiana
In the State of Indiana, you may be eligible for discounted car insurance if you have completed a defensive driving course successfully. These courses are offered by such authorized organizations as the American Safety Council as well as through the National Safety Council. Some companies provide up to a 10% discount for having completed the course. Also, some insurance companies offer a safe driver discount if you have not been involved in an accident within a given amount of time, generally 2 to 3 years, have not had any moving violations or infractions, and also for policy holders who carry other types of insurance with the same company. For example, if you have both homeowners' insurance and automobile insurance with the same company, you might qualify for a multiple policy discount.
It is always wise to check quotes from several different companies before choosing which insurance company to buy a policy from. You may find companies that offer discounts if you are over a certain age, most often 50, and if you are not required to carry an SR-22 (Certificate of Financial Responsibility). Quotes will vary from company to company so take the time to compare those quotes so that you can be assured you are getting the absolute best coverage for the lowest premiums if cost is an issue. You might be surprised to learn that sometimes you can get greater coverage at significantly lower cost if you just take the time to do a little searching online.

First, let's start by understanding what you'd be paying for. At Rain Control Gutters, we always install 6″ seamless aluminum gutters, so that's what we'll be quoting.
Some companies install 5″ gutters because the material is cheaper. We refuse to do that because our torrential Tampa-area rainstorms require bigger gutters. Narrow gutters will be unable to contain the overflow. As a result, you'll get water spilling out over the gutters, which will then work its way right back to your foundations. That's exactly the kind of thing we don't want.
We mention this because we expect you will probably research around a bit to see what other websites have to say. We want you to understand that when you do this, you might see someone else quoting a cheaper price per foot than we're going to quote. Just understand that many of those sites will be talking about 5″ gutters by default. While the gutter installation cost is going to be roughly the same for either type of gutter, the materials cost will be just a bit higher.
With that being said, the average price per foot is about $9.00 (give or take a dollar higher or lower). Most homes will need 100 to 150 feet of guttering, which means most homeowners can expect to pay $900 to $1350…probably far less than you were expecting to pay!
With that being said, you still need to call us for an estimate. Your actual price may vary depending upon several factors. For example, the shape of your house could create some difficulties in the process which could make a difference. Obviously, you'll pay more if you have a bigger house, too.
But even if you have to pay $1500 for seamless aluminum gutters (150 feet of guttering at $10 per foot) you're still getting a great deal. Seamless aluminum gutters last 20-30 years, which means you are actually paying $50 to $75 per year (or less), or $4.16 to $6.25 per month in order to protect your home from developing tens of thousands of dollars worth of water damage. That's about the price of a gourmet cup of coffee at your local Starbucks, and it's a lot more important, too.
Bottom line…seamless gutters are very affordable for most homeowners, and they are absolutely worth the price.
