After riding the late 2017 and early 2018 highs, the crypto investment community now faces the consequences of overblown hype and security issues, as they wait on Wall Street to adopt the digital currency market. Many crypto enthusiasts reject the comparison to the dot-com bubble burst, and BTC bulls continue to carry out an optimistic line of thinking, still making lofty Bitcoin price predictions $10K and beyond for January 2019.
The CoinMarketCap value of the top cryptocurrencies was once at almost a trillion dollars when the market was hot to trot. Now, the top 100 cryptocurrency market cap limps in at $188.5 billion, dangerously close to its all-time low of $187 billion. Many big investors had voiced their skepticism from the very beginning, even when Bitcoin was booming. The famed billionaire Warren Buffet reminding investors that Bitcoin isn't designed like a traditional stock investment.
The 80% drop has now statistically surpassed the dot-com 78%, 2008 Nasdaq crash. However, the idea that Bitcoin would become the "digital gold" of the cryptocurrency market that would revolutionize all industry isn't entirely off-base. It is the momentary bubble created by that hype and vision specifically that contributed to the crash.
There are pockets of whale conspiracies theorists claiming the Bitcoin crash has nothing to do with Wall Street's hesitancy or a bubble. Many believe that there is backdoor market manipulation and suppression brought to you in-part by whales and experienced future traders. Huge price drops without trading volume increases point to a mass sell-off as the culprit.
Just like the Nasdaq did eventually recover and reach an equilibrium and the internet has been here to stay, it is popularly believed that Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies will follow that same trajectory. Bitcoin has in the past rebounded from similar crashes, and will likely recover one day again as blockchain technology is the next irrevocable stage of innovation known as Web 3.0.
The crypto crash does not prove that blockchain technology is not revolutionary. It also doesn't make a case against distributed ledger technology's projected future as a ubiquitous part of everyday life. What the crash does emphasize, is that economic interest in a new technology that exceeds real-life usage and value creates a volatile market environment that rests largely( if not entirely) on excitement. This market will have high-highs followed by even lower-lows. It will balloon like a bubble and pop like one too.
Value cannot be faked for a sustained period by sheer anticipation alone, especially when the bubble is being continually hit with setbacks like the SEC rejecting 9 Bitcoin ETF proposals or Goldman Sach's announcement to roll back its cryptocurrency trading desk plans due to instability. Whether premature enthusiasm or a whale-orchestrated mass sell-off caused the crypto crash, the SEC stepping in will serve as a solution for both. It will regulate to prevent a future sell-off while simultaneously restoring hope for full-on adoption.

My Mac has a handful of photo editor apps. Photoshop, Lightroom, the various MacPhun packages. There is no shortage of excellent Mac applications to improve, enhance, tweak, and produce stunning photos. What about iPhone? Timothy J. Seppala has a few but not enough:
There's no shortage of photo-editing apps for mobile devices. But if you want to graduate beyond Instagram filters, the sheer number of listings on the App Store or Google Play can be overwhelming.
Indeed. I have a folder on my iPhone with a couple of dozen such photo tweaking apps; each a bit different, some unique, some free and more than a few with a price tag, all do a few things to photos that Apple's own Photos app does not.
The Photos app on iOS got a big upgrade with iOS 11 and works well for basics like adjusting exposure, cropping and applying a quick filter, but doing anything more than that is tough.
It's not so much tough as it is impossible. Photos on iPhone and Mac only does so much to a photo while Photoshop, Luminar, Aurora, and many others for the Mac can do far more. For a price that usually exceeds anything you'll use on an iPhone to tweak a photo.
The differences between photo enhancement on Mac vs. iPhone are notable. The iPhone has higher PPI– pixels per inch, and the iPhone X's display is as good as a mobile display can get, so photos have a visual vibrance not found on any Apple device.
The iPhone X's display (and, frankly, iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have LCD displays indistinguishable from perfect) is excellent, and the variety of photo enhancement apps cannot be match on the Mac.
What's the problem?
When I take a photo on iPhone X that needs tweaks or enhancements, I enter into photo editor misery for two reasons, both of which are easily overcome by some iOS photo apps. The first is screen real estate.
You just can't do this kind of thing on an iPhone screen.
If you haven't used a 27-inch iMac with 5K Retina display, then you don't fully appreciate what high resolution screen real estate can do for a photo. Going backwards to edit a photo– even on a newer MacBook feels like, well, going backwards. 27-inches of high res cannot be equalled by 5-inches of OLED no matter how hard you try.
The second is the depth of tools on Mac applications. This is where the line is drawn. It's not that professionals cannot use iPhone or iPad to enhance photos, but Mac apps from Photoshop to Aurora to Luminar and others have a depth of tools that put to shame the average Mac photo enhancement app. For a price.
The differences between platforms also become the differences between professional and consumer grade photographer. iPhone X is a very good camera and a good place to perform convenient, in-the-field photo enhancements. Mobile results, however, are not the same as what a professional photographer can do on a Mac.
Point and shoot is here to stay. Photos and movies from iPhone have improved at an amazing rate in recent years; often to the point where people cannot tell the difference between a DSLR and an iPhone. But there are differences and they are distinct. Just as there are differences between a sedan and a truck.
I carry both. I use both. But for serious work the iPhone stays in the pocket. This year.

This week our guest is Robert Misseri. He is the President and founder of the non-profit group called Guardians of Rescue, an organization based in New York, whose mission is to protect the well-being of all animals by providing aid to animals in distress. His compassion and life long commitment to helping these animals in need provided the basis in creating People Helping Animals and Animals Helping People by facilitating fostering programs, rehabilitation, assisting other rescue groups, and providing support to both military and civilian families in need due to economic factors, deployment or other issues.
Robert grew up in Brooklyn, New York where boys were not angles and were more interested in hurting animals than saving them, but he was cut from another cloth when it came to his love of animals. He started out by rescuing alley cats and hiding the animals from local gangs so they wouldn't be hurt, often putting his own life in danger while protecting the life of an innocent animal. As an adult, he moved to Long Island, New York, and discovered that there was an even greater need. He knew that there were more women in the field of rescue than men and he wanted to make it his mission to change that and bring more men into the world of animal protection and welfare.
In 2007, he created the organization called Rescue Ink, which was an all male rescue group comprised of tattoo clad animal lovers which led to a National Geographic expose and an explosion of various animal organizations across the country led by men who wanted to make a difference. Rescue Ink (National Geographic) is one of several reality rescue television shows that are either currently running such or scheduled to air.
In 2009, He created the Urban Animal Alliance (UAA), which is an animal welfare organization comprised of hip-hop artists who bring the message of animal welfare to the inner cities and streets where animal abuse is all too commonplace.
In 2010, the seeds of Guardians of Rescue were planted and took root as a national animal welfare organization comprised of seasoned men and women who's mission is to help animals and people during national disasters and economic struggles, which includes helping to reunite people with lost pets. These men and women come from a multitude of backgrounds, but all share the love for animals and appreciate the special role they play in our lives.
Guardians of Rescue have worked with Best Friends, American Humane and Petsmart Charities, as well as orchestrating relief efforts after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the East Coast. The mission of this volunteer organization is to help every animal from the feral cats that roam the streets to the animals that are displaced and need foster homes from Hurricane Sandy. In fact, they have helped over 900 animals that were victims of the storm, and continue to find others in need. Guardians of Rescue's programs are designed to provide assistance in a broad range of scenarios, to educate and motivate, and to advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Their efforts to bring home dogs from war torn Afghanistan, and be reunited with soldiers who cared for them during their tours of duty, is a major cooperative accomplishment Guardians of Rescue is proud of doing. Guardians of Rescue is currently implementing a program to help soldiers who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD, by matching them up with dogs who have also suffered hardships. They continue to be huge proponents of TNR and giving people the tools they need to help the cats or dogs in their own communities.
Currently, Guardians of Rescue is working in Camden, New Jersey, one of the most dangerous cities in America to create a better world for the animals that struggle to live there.
Mr. Robert Misseri's other "full time career" is operating a family owned corporate catering business in Manhattan but states that "my animal welfare work is and always will be my life's passion."

We are delighted to report on the success of the PPA Conference held at the Hilton Dublin Airport Hotel and Conference Center from August 17th through 19th! Over ninety people attended, from places such as Botswana, China, Europe, and the US.
The conference was special for many reasons:
- Firstly, because this was the first time the PPA has conducted a conference outside of the United States. We were somewhat nervous about undertaking the risk of going outside our "comfort zone", but we realized that challenge is similar to what people with periodic paralysis do every day in dealing with people who have no understanding of the issues. Additionally, we feel it is important to try reaching as many people as possible.
- We were lucky to have seventeen year-old Gabe Low in attendance! What an amazing, strong-willed, and positive person he is. He has HKPP, and he has made it his mission to elevate awareness about rare diseases. In July, he rode his bicycle from Seattle, Washington to Cleveland, Ohio (3000 mi, 4800km). Then, in early August he placed high in the USA Triathlon National Competition, which qualifies him to compete in the World Championship next year in Switzerland. He gave an inspiring talk about what it was like growing up with the disease, and he even autographed some souvenir hats that were auctioned at the conference to benefit the cause. After the conference ended, Gabe had planned to ride his bike around Ireland. What a special young man!
- The other speakers were also engaging, as they discussed their fields of expertise with the group. Jake Levitt, Frank Weber, Michael Segal, Steve Cannon, Annabelle Baughan, Bas Stunnenberg and E s t h e r M e r k u s were not hesitant about answering questions, which provides one of our conference highlights. It provides the foundation for interaction among all who attend, which also reveals common ground and can start new friendships. At this conference, we had a number of people who suffer from each of the periodic paralyses: hypo, hyper, normo, and ATS.
- On Sunday morning Linda Feld, the PPA's Vice President, gave a wonderful Memorial message about the late Doctor Frank Lehmann-Horn, who tirelessly laid the groundwork for so much of what we now know about periodic paralysis. Dr. Steve Cannon also added an insightful talk about his own relationship with Dr. Lehmann-Horn.
The Conference was a huge success due to the energies of many people, and the PPA Board is already discussing other sites for upcoming events. Stay tuned!

DetailsAromatic red berry and black forest fruits with notes of cranberry, dark cherry, cassis and plum all evident.
Generous mid weight wine with flavours of blackberry, plum, strawberry, cherry and a touch of spice to round it out. The fine subtle tannins and acid providing the core structure whilst the natural fruit sweetness from the Grenache ensures fruit is the shining light. The tannins and acid combine with perfectly balanced oak. It's a fine flowing style of wine with just the right amount of weight and finesse whilst still giving length.

Sharwanand to Compete with Nandamuri Heroes
Sharwanand's upcoming film Express Raja has completed the censor formalities today. Producers of the film applied for censor screening this morning and the members of censor board, after watching Express Raja, awarded the film U certificate and appreciated director Merlapaka Gandhi for making a clean entertainer.
Express Raja stars Sharwanand and Surabhi in lead roles. Surabhi, after acting in Raghuvaran B. Tech and Beeruva, did not get a right opportunity. She has pinned a lot of hope on Express Raja. The trailer of the film that was released recently has impressed many. Music by Praveen Lakkaraju is also well-received by Tollywood audience. Popular production house UV Creations has made the film.
The makers of Express Raja are now busy promoting the film aggressively. Express Raja is slated for release on January 14th ie., for Pongal. It is known that Dictator starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, Nannaku Prematho starring Jr. NTR are hitting the theatres for Pongal. So, trade experts are suspecting that availability of theatres for Express Raja since Sharwanand has to compete with Nandamuri heroes. But producers of Express Raja are very happy and confident about the film. Now that the censor formalities are also completed, there will be no doubt on the release of Express Raja for Pongal.

In a fast-changing environment, evolution can be slow—sometimes so slow that an organism dies out before the right mutation comes along. Host Sarah Crespi speaks with staff writer Elizabeth Pennisi about how plastic traits—traits that can alter in response to environmental conditions—could help life catch up.
Also on this week's show, host Meagan Cantwell talks with Marco Ajello a professor of Physics and Astronomy at Clemson University in South Carolina about his team's method to determine the universe's star formation history. By looking at 739 blazars, supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies, Ajello and his team were able to model the history of stars since the big bang.
Finally, in this month's book segment, Jen Golbeck interviews Christine Du Bois about her book Story of Soy. You can listen to more books segment and read more reviews on our books blog, Books et al.

First, we hear from science writer Joshua Sokol about his trip to the Cambrian—well not quite. He talks with host Megan Cantwell about his travels to a remote site in the mountains of British Columbia where some of Earth's first animals—including a mysterious, alien-looking creature—are spilling out of Canadian rocks.
Also on this week's show, host Sarah Crespi talks with James Hazel a postdoctoral research fellow at the Center for Genetic Privacy and Identity in Community Settings at Vanderbilt University in Nashville about a proposal for creating a universal forensic DNA database. He and his co-authors argue that current, invasive practices such as law enforcement subpoenaing medical records, commercial genetic profiles, and other sets of extremely detailed genetic information during criminal investigations, would be curtailed if a forensics-use-only universal database were created.

When was the worst year to be alive? Contributing Correspondent Ann Gibbons talks to host Sarah Crespi about a contender year that features a volcanic eruption, extended darkness, cold summer, and a plague.
Also on this week's show, host Meagan Cantwell talks with Andrea Di Francesco of the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging in Baltimore, Maryland, about his review of current wisdom on fasting and metabolism. Should we start fasting—if not to extend our lives maybe to at least to give ourselves a healthy old age?
In a special segment from our policy desk, Deputy Editor David Malakoff discusses the results of the recent U.S. election with Senior Correspondent Jeffrey Mervis and we learn what happened to the many scientist candidates that ran and some implications for science policy.

A new report suggests a big increase in the use of monkeys in laboratory experiments in the United States in 2017. Online news editor David Grimm joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss which areas of research are experiencing this rise and the possible reasons behind it.
Also this week, host Meagan Cantwell talks with staff writer Adrian Cho about a final push to affix the metric system's measures to physical constants instead of physical objects. That means the perfectly formed 1-kilogram cylinder known as Le Grand K is no more; it also means that the meter, the ampere, and other units of measure are now derived using complex calculations and experiments.

For a long time, Parkinson's disease was thought to be merely a disorder of the nervous system. But in the past decade researchers have started to look elsewhere in the body for clues to this debilitating disease—particularly in the gut. Host Meagan Cantwell talks with Viviane Labrie of the Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids, Michigan, about new research suggesting people without their appendixes have a reduced risk of Parkinson's. Labrie also describes the possible mechanism behind this connection.
And host Sarah Crespi talks with Peter Fratzl of the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany, about what materials scientists can learn from nature. The natural world might not produce innovations like carbon nanotubes, but evolution has forged innumerable materials from very limited resources—mostly sugars, proteins, and minerals. Fratzl discusses how plants make time-release seedpods that are triggered by nothing but fire and rain, the amazing suckerin protein that comprises squid teeth, and how cicadas make their transparent, self-cleaning wings from simple building blocks.
Fratzl's review is part of a special section in Science on composite materials. Read the whole package, including a review on using renewables like coconut fiber for building cars and incorporating carbon nanotubes and graphene into composites.

As the Penguin update rolled out many websites' ranking goes up and down, there are question about which link building methods to follow to stay away from Penguin penalty. Many traditional link building methods were and now being penalized after Penguin came. So here I'm going to show you some link building methods which will continue to help you websites' ranking grow up in this Penguin Crisis. So now let's get straight to the Point.
- Get More Social, Power Your Fan-base
Social signal will be more important than ever in this year of 2012. Share your content on all the social networks you have. The likes, re-tweets, +1s will give your content boost to get rank higher. There are also possibilities of getting your content viral which can get you a lot of traffic.
- Link Your Inner-Pages
When it comes to link building, many people are making mistake of only doing link building for the Website Home Page. If you continue linking a lot for your website Google may penalize you. If you check the links of major website, you'll find out that those websites have also their inner pages linked enough and some times more than the homepage. So start link building for your inner pages too.
It's not only about getting external links for your inner pages but internal linking is also important. Internal links are also highly important. Wikipedia.org is the best example of internal link building. They are master at internal link building. So get used to link your inner pages.
- Differentiate Your Anchor Texts
Penguin has penalized many websites using only one keyword as their anchor tag. Try using many different keywords for anchor tags. Google like natural link building and getting links with same anchor makes Google to put your website in the suspicious list. Differentiate you Anchor texts with "read more", "click here", "learn more", etc.
- Focus on Quality, not Quantity
Google doesn't prefer the quantity of links your website getting but it is actually prefers the quality links. A quality link is better than a Hundred of non-quality links and from now on Google going to penalize you website if it's having a large amount of links from untrustworthy sites.
This penalty is here because of the automated softwares which are used in mass link building. So this type of spam mass link building will not get your website up but may take your website down in rankings.
- Make Your Content Link-Worthy
Try writing on interesting topics which people would love to share and link back. If your visitors leave you site because of not having interesting content to make them stay, your bounce rate will be increased and with high bounce rate you're not going to climb the Ranking Ladder.
With good and catchy content your visitors will stay longer and they might re-tweet it and re-share it, thus the good user experience will end-up in good and strong presence of your website with rankings.
These are the safest ways to get your website linked without any penalty in future as all the tips are in Google Guidelines.

The TAMKO® Building Products Communications Department is focused on providing members of the media with the resources, materials and information they need. The Communications Department works daily with members of the local and national media on stories that highlight the nation's building materials industry.
NOTE TO EDITORS: The correct capitalization of the company name is TAMKO, due to the fact that it is an acronym. The letters stand for Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma — the company's original trade area when founded in 1944. TAMKO's trade area is now all 50 states.
Kim Eckerman, Corporate Director of Marketing & Communications
(800) 641-4691, ext. 2360
Contractors will be able to take their concrete waterproofing project to the next level with TAMKO's new TW-Drain 220, a drain mat designed with core and fabric construction to help keep water out of residential, multifamily and light commercial projects. TW-Drain 220's unique design allows for quick and simple installation.
TW-Drain 220 may be used for above grade applications such as balcony/breezeways. TW-Drain 220's dimpled drainage core and filter fabric help protect entry points from potential moisture penetration into buildings.
"With TAMKO's TW-Drain 220, water flows through the dimpled core, rather than building up excess moisture within the concrete. This relieves hydrostatic pressure and leads to better protection for your project," said Corporate Director of Waterproofing Sales for TAMKO, Brandon Knobloch.
TW-Drain 220 comes in 50-foot rolls with a 4-foot width. TW-Drain 220 can be purchased now from TAMKO's Columbus, Kansas manufacturing facility with nationwide availability. Mixed truckload orders may be placed with TAMKO's extensive line of additional waterproofing products. For more information, visit TAMKOWaterproofing.com.

On May 30, 2018, a group of concerned citizens from the 301 Broomfield Health and Safety First organization drafted a letter to the City and County of Broomfield, specifically to the currently elected City Council Members. The letter details several topics relevant to current concerns that many residents have about the impact of the Extraction Oil and Gas development projects on our residential communities. Specifically addressed topics include the current state of law, the Martinez vs COGCC premise, a potential breach of operator contract regarding the CDP (Comprehensive Drilling Plan), Extraction's potential failure to follow protocol when filing with the COGCC, best management practices (or lack thereof), enforcement criteria, risk management/transference of risk, how to work with Extraction from a strong negotiation stance, concerns of trust in the operator, Extraction's lack of thoughtful, comprehensive response to citizen comments, and the city's obligation to support public concerns. The hope is that the CCOB will take a pause and consider the health and safety of the people in the community, the risks associated with this project, and the impact, both real and potential, that this project will have on the communities so close to where the development will take place.
Dear Council Members and Mayor Ahrens:
We appreciate the continued efforts of the City and County of Broomfield to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of this great community. We understand that this is the highest priority for our City and Council. We want to remind the City that the protection of health, safety, and welfare is the law. As a result, we have outlined below several outstanding issues that must be resolved prior to any oil and gas development moving forward in Broomfield.
Current State of the Law
The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Act states per §34-60-102(1)(a) that "It is declared to be in the public interest to: (I) Foster the responsible, balanced development, production, and utilization of the natural resources of oil and gas in the state of Colorado in a manner consistent with protection of public health, safety, and welfare, including protection of the environment and wildlife resources".
The Broomfield Charter in Section 2.1 states "…Broomfield shall condition oil and gas development permits to require oil and gas development to only occur in a manner that does not adversely impact the health, safety, and welfare of Broomfield's residents in their workplaces, their homes, their schools, and public parks.…"
We understand that you have relied on the Supreme Court's 2016 opinion regarding Longmont's ban and Ft. Collins 5-year moratorium on fracking in your legal reasoning and justification for being very cautious regarding how to proceed. In our view, protecting public health, safety, and welfare at a local level is not a ban on oil and gas development, nor should it be considered one. We also do not believe that protecting public health and safety can be construed as an operational conflict with the state. Protecting health and safety IS the state law, and also falls under a City's local land use authority, police powers, and ability to manage air quality. In addition, we believe that the 2016 opinion represents the narrow view of state preemption. Legal arguments have been made by outside attorneys that the people's right of initiative may not be preempted by the state (Leftwich opinion). We also do not believe the impact of the Martinez case decision is being taken into consideration. This decision is being appealed to the Supreme Court, but it is the existing, published high court opinion (Weiner opinion). There are potentially other legal arguments that could be utilized as well–breach of contract, tort law (negligence, misrepresentations, intentional harm), a brief moratorium, forced pooling/takings law (Lynch opinion), wildlife protection, injunctive relief, etc.
It is important to also point out that COGCC's claim in the Martinez case is that they are required to "balance" oil and gas development with health, safety, welfare and the environment. The inadequacies in Extraction's CDP as expressed by Council, as well as the COGCC's own record, show that even this lower standard is not being met in Broomfield or in the State as a whole.
Martinez v. COGCC
We appreciate that our City shares our concerns about potentially dangerous industrial operations moving into residential areas and that Council unanimously voted to join the amicus curiae brief in support of the Martinez case, along with many other cities. We believe that the COGCC has failed to interpret the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Act correctly in that it has not prioritized public health, safety, and welfare, including protection of the environment and wildlife resources, in its permitting of operations and in failing to give local governments more control over these matters. This belief is supported by the numerous accidents that have occured at oil and gas sites over the past few years and by COGCC's lack of resources to plug and abandon old wells which leak methane, and to adequately inspect and regulate operations.
Our City is at a crossroads as we await the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court. Several groups including impacted residents, environmental groups, medical groups, the Colorado PTA, many local governments, and the CO League of Women Voters filed amicus curiae briefs displaying a wealth of information in support of Martinez. We believe the evidence is piling up showing that the time for change is now, despite resistance from the state and the industry. The City of Broomfield has the authority to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of Broomfield and the residents support our City taking steps, even if it entails legal methods that have not been attempted before. This is not a time to look the other way, but rather it is the time to acknowledge that the risks of oil and gas development in residential areas are clear and a threat to our community. It is time to act on behalf of the voters who passed 301 by a large margin and take any steps necessary to ensure that the protection of public health, safety, and welfare is a condition that is being met.
Breach of Operator Agreement Regarding CDP
We are also concerned about how Extraction has moved forward with obtaining permits from the state. Per the Operator Agreement, Extraction should have submitted a Comprehensive Drilling Plan (CDP) for approval by the City prior to submitting forms 2/2a applications for permits to drill to the COGCC. Regardless of when the actual approval would need to be granted, it is clear that Extraction did not submit a CDP that could have reasonably been approved prior to applying for permits with the COGCC. The document submitted to the City just prior to Extraction filing their forms 2/2a permits was a preliminary draft at best. We find this problematic, as a breach of contract this early on would be indicative of the potential for additional, and more serious, breaches in the future.
COGCC Requirement – Permit Applications Must comport with CDP
Extraction's Spacing Unit Applications submitted to the COGCC did not follow standard protocol. Therefore, at the October 31, 2017 COGCC Hearing, in an attempt by the COGCC to maintain oversight, the language for the spacing unit applications was amended to state that,
"The wells will be drilled from surface locations within the unit or at legal locations on adjacent lands. Any applications for Permits to Drill (Form 2) or Oil and Gas Location Assessments (Form 2A) filed by Extraction Oil and Gas, Inc in the unit on surface lands within the City and County of Broomfield will comport with the October 24, 2017 Amended and Restated Oil and Gas Operator Agreement between the Application and the City and County of Broomfield."
"Comport with" was defined in the COGCC record as "has to be consistent with".
As a requirement of the above Operator Agreement, Extraction must submit a Comprehensive Drilling Plan (CDP) and Application for review and approval by the City.
To clarify, per the COGCC, the applications for Forms 2/2A Permits must comport with the Operator Agreement. Per the Operator Agreement, the CDP must be approved by the City. Therefore, why would the City of Broomfield not protest the approval of any permits that do not have the full approved CDP attached to the COGCC applications/permits? We believe this needs to happen.
Best Management Practices
In addition to the above point regarding the permits not having a full CDP attached, we have serious concerns regarding the proposed BMPs that are being attached to the COGCC applications/permits. Should these permits be approved with only BMP's, does Broomfield keep full authority to enforce everything included within the CDP? We also believe the BMPs that Extraction submitted do not meet the conditions of the City Charter or the Operator Agreement. We find it to be problematic that this standard is what is being put forth to the COGCC.
Enforcement Criteria
It is essential that the City of Broomfield have a clear and efficient method to enforce all aspects of oil and gas development prior to permitting any oil and gas development. We believe that the City must have the ability to enforce the Operator Agreement, including the CDP. These enforcements must include fees that are in accordance with the violation, as well as the ability to revoke permits for repetitive violations. It is essential that the City has ensured that the CDP and BMPs are fully enforceable and that all enforcement criteria are in place before any permits are issued. Perhaps we need a moratorium to get everything in place before permits are issued.
Risk Management/Transference of Risk
Extraction has presented several catastrophic risks in "Section (R) Risk Management Plan" with a 3-10% chance of occurrence which, when compiled per standard risk management calculations (Risk = [1 – ( 1 – 0.065 )^12] * 100 = 55%), indicates that there is a substantial likelihood (>50%) of one of these events occuring. It is crucial to note that even before compiling these risks, there is a 3 to 10% "Inherent Likelihood" of a "Catastrophic" event taking place in Broomfield. Catastrophic is defined in the CDP as "Fatalities, serious injury, devastating impact to environment or community (50+ homes affected)." The next risk category, "Major", is defined as "Serious injury, serious damage to environment or impact to 20+ homes." We have not calculated the combined chance of a Major event, but one listed Major Risk, "Surface or Soil Contamination", has a "Moderate" likelihood of occuring (11 to 35%). Therefore, for just this one instance there is an 11 to 35% Inherent Likelihood of serious injury to Broomfield residents, serious damage to the environment or impact to more than 20 Broomfield homes. This alone is an unacceptable risk to the health, safety, welfare and the environment of Broomfield.
We understand that this data was compiled by a recognized risk management/insurance firm hired by CCOB per the recommendation of an insurance specialist and member of the Oil & Gas Task Force. The firm used data that insurance companies gather to make risk management calculations and we trust their calculations as that is what they are good at doing.
Is the inclusion of this compilation of risks in the CDP, which is subject to approval by the City, an example of Extraction's "transference of risk" from themselves to the City? If/when something catastrophic happens, can the City be held responsible for agreeing to allow operations that place this level of risk close to neighborhoods? Will the residents be left to suffer the consequences of the event and then as taxpayers also be financially responsible for the aftermath? We urge you, as those responsible for the decisions being made, to consider this possibility. Is City Council ready to accept this risk to the CCOB and to the residents?
We also believe that more fully developed root cause analyses must be provided. Detailed remedies must be developed to ensure prevention of incidents that would have more profound consequences if they occur in or near our residential areas (e.g., Windsor explosion, Hudson well blowout, Berthoud bubble-up).
In addition, the majority of your voting constituents passed a health and safety measure that requires the protection of public health, safety, and welfare. We believe the passage of 301 means that the City cannot approve this level of risk into the community. The City must ensure these risks will be eliminated prior to any operator starting operations in Broomfield.
Working with Extraction from a strong stance
City staff and residents of Broomfield have spent countless hours reviewing and providing comments on Extraction's CDP to assist them as they work toward a CDP that meets the requirements of adequately protecting public health, safety, and welfare. Despite these efforts, Extraction continues to add additional information to the plan while seeming to avoid pressing issues. We believe that it is time for the City of Broomfield to stop guiding Extraction through the process of writing their Comprehensive Drilling Plan (CDP). We want the City to put the onus on the operator to create a professional CDP that meets current law including requirements of protection of public health, safety, and welfare, and the environment. If the operator is unable to do this on their own accord, we believe that it is time for the City to deny the CDP for not meeting the standards put forward in the City Charter. Also, we think that the City should stop the approval process for additional pipelines until all issues are addressed, as allowing this project to move forward at this stage is problematic for many reasons.
Trust in Operator
The proposed large-scale oil and gas development near our City's populated areas creates a situation in which the residents who live, work, and engage in activities in the vicinity must put full trust in the operator. Despite the claims by Extraction that their proposed operations are "Best in Class" and a "World Class" project, their actions seem to be quite different. There have been many inconsistencies, miscommunications, lack of information provided, and responsibility being deferred to other parties. Extraction chose to drill near our residential communities and therefore, they must be held to the highest of standards. Based on the challenges that have come about during this process, including the shortfalls in creating a comprehensive CDP, should we trust Extraction to perform large-scale industrial activities in our community in a manner that fully protects our health, safety, and welfare? Here is a short summary of additional issues that have contributed to a lack of trust in ensuring that we will be adequately protected:
- Initially appearing to plan 24 wells total, and then applying for 144 wells;
- Failing to provide meaningful data and information when requested;
- Possible contract breaches happening within the first few months of the agreement being signed; and
- An apparent resistance in working with the city to move these operations away from communities to safer locations and to reducing the size of the operations
Extraction's Response to the Citizen Comments
We have reviewed Extraction's letter in response to the Citizen's Comments. We find their responses inadequate in terms of actually addressing legitimate concerns. It is disappointing that rather than providing data to support their claims, Extraction seems to avoid answering directly. Their tactics included: deferring the question or responsibility to the City; referencing the amount of time they have spent; or simply ignoring the question or concern.
In addition, information was requested regarding accidents and incidents that occured at Extraction sites. Rather than providing root cause analysis of all these incidents and how Extraction plans to prevent future occurrences, residents were given incomplete information. A relationship of trust comes through the operator proving that it is truly on board with creating a culture of safety and has the means to do so. Please look forward to our complete response to "Extraction's letter in response to Citizen Concerns dated May 23, 2018" which we will be sending in the near term.
City must support public concerns
The City has the authority and responsibility to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the people. Please do not simply state that your hands are tied because the path forward is not an easy road. The fact that the City Council chose to enter into a contract just prior to an election does not absolve the City of their responsibility as the amended City Charter states. We expect our Local Government to stand with its citizens in upholding what is the most important responsibility of government – protecting public health, safety and welfare. We will support the City taking any and all steps necessary to ensure that this happens.

Mind Control Victims Testify at Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues March 1, 2011
Hello Everyone!
My new friend Jeff Polachek of JeffPolachek.com shared his informative website with me earlier today. I am intrigued by the lead story on Jeff's site; Mind Control Victims Testify at Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues March 1, 2011. The comments delivered to the panel are remarkable to say the least. I am amazed at the testimony of fist hand personal experience with claims of biological discomfort and disturbance of their persons. I would be interested to know how you feel about US Government sponsored non-consensual targeted Biological disturbance operations against US Citizens.

Denver Breakfast Club: Smoked brisket hash at Four Friends Kitchen
Folks in northeast Denver are always looking for a new restaurant, especially when it comes to breakfast and brunch. Now they have an excellent addition to the Denver breakfast scene: Four Friends Kitchen in the Stapleton development.
The place does breakfast and lunch, plus weekend brunch, and is open daily at 2893 Roslyn St. in the 29th Avenue Town Center. Hats off to their recognition that lots of us don't want to wait until 8 a.m. for our omelets and pancakes. Four Friends hits the ground running at 6:30 a.m. and closes 8 hours later.
Billing itself as "An American Eatery with Southern Charm" — one of the owners has family roots in Alabama — the restaurant delivers, slow-cooked grits and all.
On one recent morning I enjoyed, big-time, a smoked brisket hash topped with two poached eggs. The diced beef was tender and laced with sauteed onions, sweet peppers, green chiles in a melange of barbecued potatoes. Yes, there was cheese in there, plus a schmear of a sweet red chile sauce that, I swear, tasted like it was spiked with a bit of caraway.
Oh, and there was a side of tender cornbread. Score!
It was a great way to start the day. Given how quickly the place filled up, there are lots of hungry Stapleton residents who agree.
And yes, it's absolutely kid friendly.

Steeple Slouch by Crazy4CrochetMomma | Pattern Review
I was so excited to work up The Steeple Slouch from Crazy4CrochetMomma. It has a simple, yet gorgeous texture that I was absolutely drawn to!
I picked up this paid pattern (available on Ravelry HERE and on Etsy HERE) and started hooking it up. The pattern calls for a size 4 worsted weight yarn and the Lion Brand Heartland that I had in my stash seemed to fit the bill. Boy, was I wrong…
This slouchy style hat is worked bottom up and as soon as I finished the band I noticed that something was wrong, like really wrong. The band was so short there was no way it was going to fit my head.
Let me just say that all yarn is NOT created equal…
The Steeple Slouch Pattern and Materials Info
The Ravelry listing for this pattern shows the recommended yarn as Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn, so I tossed my Heartland wip to the side and grabbed some ILTY Stonewashed in Berry and hooked it up!
Right away I could see the difference in beanie sizes with the different brands of yarn. The Hobby Lobby yarn I used was a thicker size 4 and had a bit more stretch to it, which I really liked. The Heartland yarn has virtually no stretch.
I eventually did finish my Heartland yarn wip for comparison. I also made another sample in a size 5 yarn using an 8mm size hook.
The Heartland hat measured 16 inches around, the ILTY hat measured 17.5 inches around, and the Bernat hat measured 21 inches around.
While the Craft Yarn Council cites 16 inches as the standard head circumference for a baby/toddler, 18-20 inches for a child, and 21-24 inches for a standard adult, you have to consider what yarn you are using and if there is a stretch factor to take into account.
My Heartland hat had virtually no stretch and only fit my toddler. My ILTY hat fit me perfectly (my head measures 21.5 inches). The Bernat sample was waaaaay to big.
Overall, I loved making this hat and probably had a little to much fun experimenting with these yarns!
Things I Love About This Pattern
- There are lots of helpful photos in the pattern.
- The pattern also includes a modification for a messy bun version of this beanie.
- The design of The Steeple Slouch looks complicated, but is actually quite easy and relaxing.
- The join seam is nearly invisible.
- This hat without the pom looked great on the guys I had try it on.
Things I Didn't Love About This Pattern
- There are 2 size options provided in the pattern (child and adult), but no finished dimensions or gauge were given making it difficult to determine correct size.
Tips For Beginners
- For best results, use a stretchy acrylic yarn such as Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn or Red Heart Soft.
- You will need to be familiar with how to crochet into the third loop of a half double crochet in order to be successful with this pattern. Tamara Kelly from Moogly has a great video tutorial for this technique (see video below).
- If you notice that your vertical bars are slanting, then you are most likely crocheting into the wrong stitch (the next stitch instead of the current stitch – stop for a moment and examine your stitches).
- I highly recommend using stitch markers to mark the first and last stitch in each round. This helps you to avoid confusing the slip stitch and chain 1 as actual stitches.
Now it's your turn! Grab your supplies and get started! Be sure to drop by and let me know how much you loved creating this project! XOXO, Jules

Slinging Cookies!
November 19, 2009
Filed under Bear, family, parenting, The Mother Hen
Last night, I took the Mother Hen with me to sort out cookie dough for the fundraiser for her choir. I was bouncing around and hustling to get everything done because we were under time pressure. None of the other moms could keep up with me.
Half way through the night, The Mother Hen stops trying to keep up with me. "Never helping you again!" she huffs and puffs. Finally she sits down and takes a few minutes to catch her breath. I continue doing my thing, running and jumping around to get things done. The Mother Hen looks at me, "How are you still running around? I hate you! I am making Dad come next time!"
All of that exercising has finally paid off…

Graphic Design Trends 2016
Keeping with the basics
This coming year we will be seeing a lot of refined versions of things that started to become popular in 2015. Mainly simplistic flat design. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I LOVE this trend. Clean and basic design in my book will always make a stronger impact and be more memorable that complicated busy layout. I liken it to a melody vs. a busy street. Too much noise and it becomes hard to pick out any one sound. Like taking your date to a busy restaurant with a band playing. Good luck getting to know each other.
Pictures from www.branfton.com
Illustration over Photography
This is partially due to the popularity of illustrated infographics. Why stop at infographics when you can utilize this trendy style on your banners, backgrounds, advertisements, wherever. There is so much flexibility here which makes this niche really fun. No 2 people sketch alike so we are all bound to see some really interesting outcomes here. You don't even have to be GOOD. Some of the best sketch based design I've seen used simple non Michelangelo skill sets.
This design is one we did for our client – Potter Wines. They have given us feedback that this charming fellow gets quite the reaction from customers. Who could resist that face?
Shapes as Logos
This is nothing NEW per se, but I do think it is becoming more prevalent. This also goes hand in hand with with the first point of simplistic design. This is especially true for LOGO DESIGN. Focus is going away from wordy complicated logos, to basic, quickly identifiable shapes. Whenever I start a logo project, I always encourage the client to consider putting most of the focus on a symbol, and then designing the text to fit the look.
This is one of the most basic logos we've done, but it's also by far one of our favorites. The full logo is here – But the basic shape remains the same. It's simple, easily recognized, and you can print the logo given just about any printer limitation. If space is limited, drop the text completely. Going forward, logo's will rely less and less on the text on more on the imagery.
I was employed once by a company that had TEN words in their name. TEN WORDS. We didn't have a logo as much as we had a decorative paragraph. There was so much branding potential lost because working with text can be very limiting. Is your company a ONE word identity with only 5 letters? Great, that's doable and you can get creative with limited characters. Much more than that and people are reading instead of identifying.
This is a fun one. Print is obviously 2D so creating a 3D design takes some creativity. It's a cleverly placed shadow, a perspective angled two-tone, or skillful use of blurring.
Here's an awesome example from Emily Balsley on Pinterest –
There are only two flat colors in this design, but a definite 3D feel.
Here is a design I did with a technique called stickering.
This allows you to have a fun and busy logo, but still maintain that recognizable shape when you need to simplify. I applied some of those techniques to the Cold Front logo above as well. You can take any 2 tone logo and apply this effect to give it that 3D realism look with a side of pizzaz. Easy Peasy.
This trend does take a little more forethought and skill then say a basic silhouette shape, so be aware that it will take your designer a bit more time to complete.
Everything moves now. It can get a little annoying so I recommend keeping this one to a bare minimum, (same goes for content pop-ups. They are the bane of my existence, no one likes them. Don't do it).
Subtlety is impressive, overload is tacky. But it IS a trend that you will see more of so here are some ideas of how to utilize it in a classy way.
Have your logo animate onto the screen and then remain static. A looping logo that goes on and on and on and on gets repetitive. I LOVE LOVE LOVE animating logos so call us ANYTIME if you want me to animate yours.
Animate steps to a side bar or screen. When someone ends up on your landing page, evolve some content with a simple one-two-three transition, then remain static. Simple, but effective. HERE a great example of a simple landing page animated screen – http://www.visme.co/

Mobile Friendly
Its been a steady decline of the reigning desktop view. Everyone carries around a computer in their pocket or bag which means more and more content will be viewed on a mobile device. That means your online presence had better be mobile friendly. Mobile has been the #1 way people have viewed the web since 2014, but now design is starting to lead with that intent, and desktop viewing second, with tablets beginning to lead the pack.
Breaking the Rules
With the ease and usability of common CMS platforms (content management systems), most websites have all looked sort of the same for the last several years. It's easy to pick out the WordPress, Joomla, or even Drupal look.
You can always opt to hire a devleoper to custom code your entire website, that is, if you have lots of money and LOTS of time to spare, (not to mention follow-up cash and time for custom updates and changes as browsers and SEO rules are constantly changing), but that is just not realistic in most cases. What I'm starting to see in the CMS world, is themes and plugins allowing more customization of layout and content. You will no longer have to fit everything into the same boxes that everyone else is using. Know how to do some code? GREAT! Accessing code editors and implementing your own design rules is becoming easier and more accessible.
No great artist who ever stood out followed the rules and colored within the lines.
Typography has ALWAYS been important but now it's more flexible. Thank you Google Fonts. But PLEASE be aware, just because you have a lot of options does NOT mean you need to utilize them all. Especially in the same place. Options are nice but like everything else, clean and crisp text looks more polished and professional all day. There are exceptions of course! Kids brands, a cupcake shop, pet supply store. Bottom line – make sure that font is appropriate to your message and your goals, I'm looking at you Comic Sans abusers.
Parallax Backgrounds
Long story short this is different parts of backgrounds that move at different speeds or directions. THIS is a site we did for Mekong Fresh that uses this sweet sweet parallax. With more and more people having daily access to high internet speeds, designers can get a little more adventurous with movement on a page.
The moral of this story is to keep-it-simple while incorporating some trixy new technologies. A bit of an oxymoron I know, but it's the future baby! Keep the actual design elements clean and crisp, but embrace advancements is content placement and loading effects.

"I am a human being from the planet Earth'" from The Secret Language of Birthdays by Gary Goldschneider & Joost Elffers
"Nothing like spending an afternoon with some Grand Prix horses. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of horses, but with the additional help on set (Thanks Julz and Kim), and worthy models, how can you refuse. The stables at King Ridge were a perfect setting for the shot we were hoping to achieve.
Natasha has been riding horses forever and is a major animal lover, not to mention a bit of a fashionista. So with those traits in mind, mixing the elegance of a gown with the natural beauty of a world class competitor, we knew it was bound to be a win. You won't believe how high and how far that horse can jump! Kudos to Natasha for being brave enough to stand next to him and still looking super natural in front of the camera." – Cyndal L

An Interview with Natasha
Q. What is the best memory you have from a previous birthday?
A. I have many wonderful birthday memories! One that comes to mind quickly – a few years ago I spent my birthday in California swimming with Dolphins and visiting with some beluga whales. It was a very memorable experience.
Q. How about the worst? And why?
A. I'm very fortunate to have an amazing family and wonderful friends. Each and every birthday has been special in its own way.
Q. What was the present you've received for your birthday that surprised you most?
A. When I was 11 my dad gave me a horse named Casey. She taught me a great deal and we became great teammates and even better friends.
Q. Is there a food or dish that you insist on eating on your birthday?
A. Baskin n' Robbins mint chocolate chip ice cream cake – every year no matter how old I get!
Q. What do you believe is the most important aspect of celebrating a birthday?
A. It's an opportunity to celebrate with friends and family. Being with family and close friends on your birthday is the only way in my opinion to spend the day.
Q. Do you have any traditions or thing you always do to celebrate a birthday? What is it?
A. I typically take the day off to celebrate or travel with family and/or friends. I'll book the day off and do something that I choose to do. Something special. I've spent birthdays in California, Florida, Bermuda etc. Each year – the day generates a new memory that's unforgettable.

Willow Waterhole an oasis of trails - and movie screen
Willow Waterhole's trails, ponds, movie screen and more greet neighborhood families
Just 20 minutes south of the bumper-to-bumper traffic and commercial frenzy of the Galleria area lies a 291-acre peaceful oasis unknown to most Houstonians, even some nearby residents.
"We live five minutes away, and we didn't even know this was here," Patty Daza said. "I'm so overwhelmed and so excited, especially for the kids."
Daza brought her children to Willow Waterhole Conservation Reserve recently for a free movie, complete with hot popcorn.
As they waited for the sun to set, children dressed as ladybugs, storm troopers and cowgirls for the pre-Halloween event ran in the fields while older kids tossed a football or kicked around a soccer ball.
Another free movie this weekend will draw more families to the parkland surrounding a series of stormwater-detention basins near South Post Oak and South Main.
"This is a tremendous gift," said Howard Sacks, a past president of the Willow Waterhole Greenspace Conservancy. "When people come out here, I think they're going to be happily surprised at how it makes them feel and just how beautifully done the project is."
Conservancy members hope to gain signature-park status for Willow Waterhole, home to grassy fields, young trees and walking trails that circle ponds and cross foot bridges.

Free movie: "Maleficent" starring Angelina Jolie; 6 p.m. Saturday
Gospel in the Park: 4:30 p.m. Dec. 7

"This will be as big a regional destination as Memorial and Hermann," Sacks said, referring to two of the city's other signature parks. "Its major feature is something that none of these other parks have, and that is water, water and more water."
Birders' paradise
As part of Project Brays, a flood-prevention effort by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Harris County Flood Control District, Willow Waterhole already includes four stormwater-detention basins, with plans for two more. The $70 million series of wet-bottom detention ponds will ultimately hold 600 million gallons of water and protect the Texas Medical Center and neighborhoods bordering Brays Bayou from flooding.
The land surrounding the ponds is being developed for recreational use and wildlife preservation. Work began in 2004 with a $750,000 grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. A nearly $400,000 federal grant in 2012 is being used for habitat restoration, signs, parking lots and educational research.
The park is expected to be completed in 2015. But visitors already can walk the trails, have picnics at tables and gazebos, walk their dogs down the bayou or just enjoy the scenery. As the home to 190 species of birds, the park has become a favorite spot for bird-watchers.
"When you've got water, you've got birds," Sacks said. "This is the largest birding site in the fourth-largest city in the nation."
Plans call for a multi-use pier on one of the ponds, which would be stocked with fish. The ponds are large enough for kayaking, too.
"It's a tranquil oasis of green space that makes you feel like you're an hour out of town when in fact you're close to a lot of major metro points," Sacks said.
Pavilion in the works
Movie screenings are just one way the conservancy plans to increase awareness of the park. The group holds an annual Fun Run and Walk fundraiser, and its second-annual free-admission music festival drew more than 1,500 people in April.
Some of the entertainers who played the International Festival this spring "were here the next day, and whoever came saw them for free," said Clint Rusk, the conservancy's Events Committee chair.
A much bigger project is a future outdoor pavilion that would seat 5,000 on a 3-acre lawn and offer 50 free concerts annually. Willow Waterhole was chosen in 2013 to house the nation's eighth Levitt Pavilion, joining Los Angeles; Memphis, Tenn.; and Arlington, among others.
Levitt Pavilions is a national nonprofit organization that advocates revitalizing communities and public spaces through music. Funds are being raised for the $5 million project, which Sacks hopes will open by 2018.
"The Levitt is a dream come true for Houston," said Sacks, chairman of the Friends of Levitt Pavilion Houston. "There is every opportunity for every kind of entertainment to use the pavilion."
Josh Howell brought his family to the pre-Halloween movie screening, which featured rides on a miniature train brought in for the occasion.
"The kids love the train and the snowballs, and it's close to our house, so we love that," Howell said. "It's nice to support our local parks and support our neighborhood."

Project Leader, Organisation
Kerrie Rubie, Queensland Department Agriculture and Forestry
The DAF Hermitage Research Facility Schools Plant Science Competition (link) offers engaging ways for students to gain understanding and skills in key areas identified within the Australian Science Curriculum. Encouraging the next generation of people who will be involved in agriculture and rural industries as scientists, farmers, (and a range of roles in between) is crucial to how we will face the future and is a key purpose of the competition.
The competition is highly regarded amongst educationalists and attracts between 100-200 schools from across Australia annually and over its 22 year history has reached over 105,000 students (from years prep to twelve).
Objectives and impact
The aim of the competition is to stimulate an interest in science and agriculture in young people and to promote science and agriculture as an exciting and rewarding career.
This is achieved, not only by students participating in the hands-on experiments and activities, but also through extended programs and support offered including Queensland-wide student workshops, school visits by DAF staff and scientists, the Annual Awards Day & Ag Science Expo and a large range of prizes including scholarships to attend industry conferences and agricultural science camps.
In 2019, the competition is title 'Pest Invaders' and will focus on the impact invasive species have on our natural environment, with a focus on agriculture. Students will engage in a series of activities including an experimental investigation on either insects, weeds or plant diseases (to be presented in scientific format) into the impact invasive pests have on the native environment and Australian agriculture and also how pests impact on international agriculture, global food security and what measure are in pace to help eradicate and/or control the spread of exotic pests.
Participating students will develop skills in scientific method and will develop a broader understanding and interest in plant and animal biosecurity with the possibility of considering further studies and career in this field.

Our School is located in La Herradura in Southern Spain right by both the beach and the Beach and in an his area is also known to me one of Spain's best Diving locations. With a number of sheltered bays there is always a good place to dive, and usually very good visibility, and good fish life. For Good reason this area is called "Costa Tropical" (and is 5 KM from the resort town of Almunecar, 7 Km. from Nerja, 80 Km from Málaga.
It is a small village situated in a large beautiful bay, with over a mile of beaches. In Spanish La Herrudaura means 'horse shoe' and this is exactly what the bay looks like as it is enclosed by two huge rocky points at either end.
Originally it was a fishing village, but now it has grown and become an attractive tourism location, with its popular beaches. One of the charms is that it attracts mainly Spanish tourists, so it is easy to practise your Spanish and you don't feel like you are part of the 'invading foreign masses' that can occur in other parts of Southern Spain.
The long beach offers numerous facilities of practicing aquatic sports, paragliding, tennis and also other mountain sport whole year around.
La Herradura also has a large number of "Chiringuitos" ( typical beach restaurants) where you can taste the gastronomic specialties of this area of Spain.
La Herradura has a subtropical climate and it has an average of 320 sunny days and only 20 rainy days per year. This is the place to come to feel the sun, practise your Spanish and get involved in outdoor activities!
