Barcelona with Kids
Fun things to do for the whole family
By Duncan Rhodes
Coming to Barcelona with teenagers, toddlers or any other type of tearaway? Take a look at our top things to do in Barcelona for children of all ages.
So you've decided to pay a visit to the enchanting capital of Catalonia… perhaps you fancied a nice romantic weekend away, full of fines wines, highbrow culture and zen-like tranquility? We can only imagine your horror when the children insisted on coming too!
But fear not, even if you weren't able to dissuade your little darlings from joining you (let alone convince Granny to look after the mischievous munchkins for a few days) visiting Barcelona with kids needn't be a chore. In fact, with so many ways to entertain them, a family holiday can be even more invigorating than discovering the city with adults.
…visiting Barcelona with kids needn't be a chore. In fact, with so many ways to entertain them, a family holiday can be even more invigorating than discovering the city with adults.
Naturally, being a big city, there will be a few challenges for those families with little ones in tow, particularly for those with very young children or toddlers. The metro is invariably crowded, as is the famous La Rambla thoroughfare, whilst the city beaches, especially Barceloneta, can be action-packed and chaotic – and naturally the sea and the scorching sun mean sensible precautions must be applied at all times!
However if you opt for a hotel or apartment in a quieter area of town (for example Poblenou or Gracia), you can make keeping the kids at heel a bit easier, and on the plus side, there are literally scores of attractions that will hold the interest of even the hardest-to-please, from the surreal creations of Gaudi to full-access tours of Camp Nou (perfect for young football fans!), and not forgetting of course a fantastic zoo and iconic attractions like the Magic Fountain (more on that below!).
There are also plenty of great day trips from Barcelona suitable for families. Kids will love the wider, quieter beaches of Sitges, Tossa de Mar or Ocata, whilst Figueres up the road boasts the Dali Museum – whose twisted imagination makes him a favourite with youngsters. Hire a set of wheels and go for it. Meanwhile, overlooking the city itself is the Collserola mountain ridge, on top of which is Tibidabo amusement park… so a perfect combination of natural and man-made attractions!
Read on for our top suggestions of children's activities here in the Catalan capital, and if you haven't booked your accommodation yet then we suggest you check out our article on choosing apartments for some family-friendly flats, or our hotels directory for an A-Z list of beds in BCN.
Things to do in Barcelona with Kids
Here are some of our recommendations to put on your itinerary. Click on the links to find out more:
1. Visit Park Guell
Gaudi's beautiful garden, above the Gracia district, has the benefit of being a bona fide unmissable attraction, whilst affording your kids room to breathe and explore, without any danger of cultural ennui (that seems to kick in whenever the word 'museum' is mentioned). The multi-hued lizard on the grand staircase is sure to be a crowd pleaser, whilst the architect's love of the fantastical mean the park is sure to capture their imagination. The whole family will enjoy the vistas from the viewing terrace, and the snaking white seating decorated with colourful bits of broken pottery. Suitable for kids of all ages, our top tip is to avoid the baking midday sun in summer. You need to get tickets in advance.
2. Experience The Magic Fountain
One of Barcelona's most iconic sights, you can catch La Font Magica in action every Thursday to Sunday evening from May to September (and every Friday and Saturday for the rest of the year… click the link above for precise timetable). The fountain is capable of producing 7 billion light and water combinations and watching the plumes of water lit up in kaleidoscopic colours is well worth the metro ride out to Placa Espanya. The soundtrack varies but includes cinematic classics as well as some crowd-pleasing pop songs.
3. The Aquarium
With 35 Mediterranean and tropical tanks that are home to some 11,000 animals from around 450 different species, Barcelona's Aquarium is one of the largest of its kind. Of all the tanks, the most impressive is the enormous Oceanarium, which is 5 metres deep and 36 metres in diameter. Walk, wide-eyed underneath its 80-metre-long tunnel and marvel at the sharks, gilt heads and morays and many more species besides. The aquarium also plays the role of educational centre, and interactive exhibitions like Planeta Aqua (Water Planet) and Explora! are designed to help children (and adults!) understand the importance of water to our planet. It can get busy during peak season, so it's best to book your tickets in advance.
4. Explore "The Spanish Village"
Poble Espanyol is a beautiful recreational space on the bottom of Montjuic (just near Placa Espanya, and the Magic Fountain), that is made up of reconstructions of Spanish architecture from every corner of this fascinating country (including the Balearic islands!). The Spanish Village was built for the 1929 International Fair and designed to showcase Spain's diverse culture in one space. It proved so popular that instead of taking it down after the Fair was over (as was planned), they decided to keep it! Today Poble Espanyol is a rich space full of art, events, culture, shopping and entertainment, much of it geared towards children – such as their fun 'gymkhana' treasure hunt. You can book your tickets here. They are cheaper if you book them in advance.
5. Book a Family Photo Shoot
Put the wow factor in your family portraits with a photo shoot in front of some of the city's stunning architecture and iconic locations. Shutter Kings Barcelona have a small team of professional photographers that can take you to some quiet, but beautiful, corners of the city where you can capture wonderful memories that should last a life time. A two-hour, three person photoshoot is reasonably priced at €220, from which you'll receive 30 photos. Perfect if you've just welcomed a new addition into the fold.
6. Race Around a Go-Karting Track
Are you hoping to qualify for parent of the year award? If so then one thing that will definitely ensure you get your kids' vote is an afternoon go-karting at the city's best indoor track. They have special karts for children over 1.3m tall which are less powerful than the adult machines, and means they can race safety and securely. Who knows maybe your little one is the next Lewis Hamilton?
7. Visit The Zoo
From toddlers to teens, nothing gets kids exciting like the chance to see the creatures of the Discovery Channel in the flesh, fur, feather or scales. Barcelona's Zoological Gardens are some of the best in Spain with big cats, gorillas, elephants and even a pod of acrobatic dolphins to that are sure to spark an interest in the natural world. Check out their website for more.
8. Go Ice Cream Tasting
If the little ones have done a sterling job of behaving themselves throughout your whirlwind tour of the city's museums, then perhaps you'd like to reward them – and yourself – with some sweet treats. Barcelona has some lipsmackingly creative ice cream parlours with every flavour you could imagine for sale, from chocolate chip to lemon sorbet – and quite a few you couldn't, like curry flavour! Click on the link above for options.
9. Enjoy Some Park Life
We've already mentioned Gaudi's amazing Park Guell, and we wouldn't want you to miss that. But there are many more great green spaces to discover in the city, such as Parc de la Ciutadella, which is the most central and home of the zoo (see above), a boating lake and a giant mammoth statue. For more peace and quiet and a local feel try some of the less central parks. Parc del Laberint has a cool little maze that kids will love, whilst Parc Diagonal is a modern ecological space near the beach with small play area.
10. Catch a Flamenco Concert
Give your progeny a taste of true Spanish tradition by taking them to see a flamenco song and dance. Loud, brash and colourful, ages of 11 and up are likely to enjoy this experience. Choose between an an hour-long show in a 1920s theatre with dinner, or a 40 minute show combined with tapas tasting.
11. Take on an Escape Room
Kids love a challenge, especially one that proves how smart they are! The escape rooms trend has taken the city by storm in recent years and there are some great games to choose from, most of which are suitable for teenagers and above as they require sharp minds rather than bags of knowledge. There's a great thrill to working in a team and getting out of the room before your 60 minutes are up, making this a highly memorable option. Check out our full article for some recommended venues. If you're travelling with younger kids then we suggest trying Lock-Clock's Aztec Treasure, which has been specifically designed for ages 8 and over. Young teens will love the Harry Potter-inspired Prisoners of Alkaban, run by Maximum Escape.
We'll update this page soon with some more ideas soon. Meanwhile if you have any suggestions for what to do with the kids on vacation then please comment below… we'd love to hear from you.

The Pain Relievers
In the middle of the night a little more than a year ago, Michael P. Durham woke up in his Moreland home, popped a couple of night-time pain relievers and tried to go back to sleep.
A short time later, however, Durham "began experiencing abdominal pain, brownouts, blackouts and a general sense of lightheadedness." Then he developed an ulcer that "produced pain and caused an enormous amount of blood loss" that eventually required transfusions to keep him alive.
It wasn't the Equate brand Rapid Release PM Pills that made Durham sick; it was the cannister inserted in the bottle meant to keep the pills dry that Durham inadvertently swallowed along with the tablets in his mid-night state of mind.
At least that's what Durham, a former computer technologies teacher at Lincoln County High School, alleges in a federal lawsuit against Walmart, the company that made the pills (LNK International) and the company that made the stay-dry cannister (Multisorb Technologies).
Walmart and Multisorb have denied fault in their responses to the lawsuit and asked that it be dismissed. LNK, which makes Equate brand medications sold at Walmart stores, has not yet responded.
The complaint initially was filed in Boyle Circuit Court by attorneys Anne Luck Williams of Danville and Christopher Lee Coffman of Liberty but was transferred to U.S. District Court in Lexington last month.
The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory damages from the three companies, maintaining they were negligent "when they designed, produced, distributed, marketed and sold the 'Sorbicap' desiccant cannisters which contained an unreasonable risk of causing substantial and lingering bodily harm to the general public."
There was no warning about the presence of the Sorbicap on the bottle, the lawsuit contends.
"Defendants knew or should have known that members of the public often take sleeping medication at night," which "increased their duty to either make the Sorbicap more visible, differentiate the Sorbicap by texture or use another desiccant such as those contained in a pouch," the complaint states.
Among the defenses both Walmart and Multisorb put forth in their responses to the complaint is the notion that Durham was responsible for his own actions and should have exercised more care when taking the pills. It was his own negligence that brought on the medical issues he seeks damages for, the companies contend.
According to the lawsuit, Durham purchased the pills at the Walmart in Stanford and took them in the middle of the night in early September 2010. He quickly became sick and later sought medical attention, which revealed "an ulcer had formed in close proximity to the final resting place of the Sorbicap that was lodged in his intestines."
He is suing to recover his medical costs, including surgery to have the cannister removed, and to compensate him for his "severe physical, mental and emotional pain and suffering," the lawsuit states.
Let Him Hang Out
Only the strong survive folks! We need to stop coddling our infants with these federally tested safe baby harnesses and let 'em hang on for dear life on a makeshift hoodie-papoose like this lady. Kudos lady, when you need a character reference letter for the Child Protective Services, be sure to give me a holler.
Shake Your Beer Can
I'm starting to think they give those jorts away in one of those special edition NASCAR themed cases of Busch beer.
A Grimace For Grimace
Dear Grimace, I think your beav is about to fall out. Please tell your vagina that shorts are not food. Sincerely, mankind.

Jan 12, 2018
Dear Friends,
"Lord, how good it is for us to be here!"
I am writing this week with the encouragement of our Communication Committee who are the midst of the challenging project of writing a long-term plan for our Parish. I am personally inviting each of one of you to take part in the 2nd phase of our parish assessment project designed to assist in the development of a 3-5 year longterm plan for "our" parish. Speaking of "our" parish I was very pleased that of those who responded to the web based assessment 83% of respondents indicated they believe the parish is theirs, that is the parishioners; our consultant company tells us that is approximately 15% higher than the average parish in Northeast United States.
As a follow up to the web based assessment, which 380 parishioners completed and over 200 wrote comments, we are now entering the second phase of the long-term planning process. We will be holding a series of 1 to 1½ hour "Input Sessions" where you will be asked your thoughts on 4 issues critical to maintaining and growing parishioner participation in our faith community.
- What is our Parish's greatest strength?
- What would you like to see changed in our Parish?
- What is the one thing we could do to attract more people to our Parish?
- What is the most important factor to consider in looking towards the future for our Parish?
Input Sessions will be held on the following days and times.
- Saturday, Jan 20th @ 3:15 PM (PLC Double Room)
- Sunday, Jan 21st @ 10:15 AM (PLC Double Room)
- Sunday, Jan 28th @ 10:15 AM (PLC Double Room)
- Tuesday, Jan 30th @ 7:00 PM (PLC Double Room)
- Wednesday, Jan 31st @ 7:00PM (Church Gathering Area)
In addition to these sessions there will be Input Sessions for the Men's Fellowship, Women's Fellowship, both youth groups and the 9:00 AM choir.
We ask that if possible you RSVP by going to our website (www.transfiguration.org) or by calling the Parish Office at 248-2427. Babysitting will be available, please be so kind to indicate you need babysitting when you register for a Session. Please remember, however, that all the meetings are open attendance and the most important factor is that we have as many people participate as possible. We encourage you to attend with other family members and invite other parishioner friends to participate. Babysitting will be available in the church, so please indicate if your children will need babysitting when you register for a session.
Along with the recently completed parish online assessment, input from these meetings will be critical in the development of our 3 -5 year long-term plan, which will be presented later this year. I reach out to all our parishioners; young and old, single, married or widowed, with families or empty nesters to help us in this important project. For if it is to be truly "good for us to be here" both today and in the future, we need your thoughtful participation in one of these Parish Input Sessions
Why is a long-term plan so important, there are many reasons, but here are 3: First, it is healthy for a parish to have developed idea of who they are and where we wish to be headed as we collaborate more regularly with other parishes. Second, a well-developed plan makes it easier to attract staff members. Finally, a road map to the future will assist the Pastoral Council and Finance Council in addressing our pastoral and financial needs.
Please continue to pray for peace in our world!
In peace and courage,

Firearms. Search and Seizure, Search incident to lawful arrest.
Discussion of the contemporaneity requirement of a warrantless search incident to a lawful arrest. [582-585]
This court reversed the criminal defendant's convictions of carrying a firearm without a license and possession of a firearm without a firearm identification card, where the police search, well after the defendant was securely in custody, of a plastic bag that the defendant had dropped upon his arrest was not sufficiently contemporaneous with the arrest to survive suppression of the firearm found in the bag.

[Note 1] He argues that the District Court judge erred in denying his motion to suppress the firearm that served as the basis of these convictions. Because
Page 581
we conclude that the search that led to the discovery of the firearm does not constitute a search incident to arrest, we reverse.
Background. The following is a summary of facts as found by the motion judge, supplemented by undisputed testimony from the sole witness at the evidentiary hearing, Lynn police Detective Stephen Withrow, whose testimony the judge implicitly credited. See Commonwealth v. Colon, 449 Mass. 207 , 217 n.9, cert. denied, 128 S. Ct. 810 (2007). On August 4, 2003, Cambridge and Lynn police officers executed a warrant for the arrest of the defendant at a residence in Lynn. As the officers surveilled the street, five individuals -- two women and three men, one matching the description and available photograph of the defendant -- walked out of the residence toward a parked Acura automobile. The defendant was the last person to exit the residence and was carrying a white plastic bag. The officers left their vehicles, announced "police" with badges displayed, and ordered the group not to move and to show their hands.
The defendant, who was standing on the sidewalk, immediately complied by dropping the bag on the ground and putting his hands up in the air. Another member of the group, Kevin Sencion, who was "getting ready to get in" to the automobile, disobeyed the order by opening the back passenger door and entering the vehicle. Detective Withrow observed Sencion lift his shirt and pull a handgun out of his waistband. The detective also observed him crouching in the automobile as if he were placing something under the front seat, where a firearm was later discovered. Sencion was physically removed from the vehicle and placed in custody, and a third man, Jimmy Pierre, who had already entered the vehicle, was ordered out of the driver's seat, pat frisked and placed in custody.
Within thirty seconds of being ordered to put his hands in the air, the defendant was placed under arrest. After the three men were in custody, [Note 2] Detective Withrow took the plastic bag that the defendant had dropped on the ground and placed it in the back seat of the vehicle. He stated that he did so because during the course of the arrest, "it started to pour rain [] and we were going to inventory the contents of the vehicle. . . ." When the
Page 582
detective moved the bag, his assessment was that it contained clothing.
The three individuals arrested were taken to the station for booking, and another officer stayed behind and "waited for the tow truck" to transport the vehicle. Detective Withrow estimated that it was "somewhere between a half an hour and an hour" between the time the car was brought back to the Lynn police station and the time that he began to assist with the inventory of the vehicle. During the inventory, he picked up the bag from the back seat and removed a pair of pants, at which time a firearm fell out of the clothing and onto the ground.
The motion judge denied the defendant's motion to suppress the firearm recovered from the bag, finding that, although the officer's conduct did not constitute an inventory search due to the failure of the Commonwealth to introduce a written inventory policy, it was a lawful search incident to arrest. The judge also denied the defendant's motion to reconsider.
At a bench trial, the Commonwealth introduced the firearm, ammunition, and the police laboratory certification for the firearm, over the defendant's timely objection. The trial judge returned guilty verdicts on all counts in the complaint.
Discussion. Under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution and art. 14 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights, warrantless searches and seizures are presumptively invalid. See Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347, 357 (1967); Commonwealth v. Viriyahiranpaiboon, 412 Mass. 224 , 226 (1992). Where a warrantless search occurs, the Commonwealth has the burden to prove that it comes within one of the narrowly defined exceptions to the warrant requirement. Commonwealth v. Franklin, 376 Mass. 885 , 898 (1978).
On appeal, the Commonwealth argues that the motion judge correctly found that the discovery of the firearm occurred during a search incident to arrest. [Note 3] Police officers may conduct a warrantless search of a person and the area within the person's "immediate control" as a contemporaneous search incident to a
Page 583
lawful arrest. [Note 4] See Commonwealth v. Alvarado, 420 Mass. 542 , 554 (1995). See also United States v. Chadwick, 433 U.S. 1, 14 (1977); New York v. Belton, 453 U.S. 454, 460 (1981). This standard thus incorporates both spatial and temporal limitations on a search incident to arrest.
The bounds of the temporal requirement of contemporaneity of the search with the arrest were tested in United States v. Chadwick, supra. There, at a Federal detention facility one and one-half hours after the defendants' arrests, Federal agents searched a footlocker that had been found in the trunk of an automobile near the defendants when they were arrested. Id. at 4-5. Although the government argued that the search was "reasonable because the footlocker was seized contemporaneously with respondents' arrests and was searched as soon thereafter as was practicable,"
Page 584
the United States Supreme Court invalidated the search because of the time delay. Id. at 14, 15.
This principle in Chadwick has survived related rulings in New York v. Belton, supra, and California v. Acevedo, 500 U.S. 565 (1991). In Belton, the Court held that "when a policeman has made a lawful custodial arrest of the occupant of an automobile, he may, as a contemporaneous incident of that arrest, search the passenger compartment of that automobile." Id. at 460. This standard notably still requires contemporaneity of the search; it simply loosens the spatial restrictions announced in Chimel v. California, 395 U.S. 752, 763 (1969) (area within arrestee's "immediate control"), to include as a per se rule the passenger compartment of an automobile in which a person is arrested. See Belton, supra. The Court in Belton explicitly distinguished Chadwick, noting that Chadwick involved a time delay between the arrest and the search, a factual circumstance not present in Belton. Id. at 461-462. Thus, although Belton relaxed the spatial requirement in circumstances where an arrest takes place in an automobile, it did not relax the temporal requirement of a lawful search incident to arrest.
Acevedo, although overruling Chadwick in part, affected only the automobile exception to the warrant requirement and the legality of searches of closed containers therein. See Acevedo, supra at 571. It did not, therefore, alter the central tenet of Chadwick regarding search incident to arrest. See United States v. $639,558 U.S. Currency, 955 F.2d 712, 717-718 (D.C. Cir. 1992).
Nor has the contemporaneity requirement been diminished by the Court's recent decision in Thornton v. United States, 541 U.S. 615, 623-624 (2004), where the search of the passenger compartment of an automobile was upheld even though the arrestee was a "recent occupant" of the vehicle rather than actually occupying the vehicle when arrested. This extension of Belton once again dealt only with the spatial aspect of a search incident to a lawful arrest; that is, only the distance between the arrestee and the search was at issue. See Thornton, supra at 620-621. That the search took place contemporaneously with the arrest was not in dispute. See id. at 618.
Indeed, Massachusetts courts, interpreting Federal law, still
Page 585
accord considerable significance to the requirement of contemporaneity. In Commonwealth v. Alvarado, 420 Mass. at 546-547, the defendant was arrested in his car and taken to the police station for booking; the car was towed to the same station where it was searched. Relying on New York v. Belton, supra, and its preservation of the contemporaneity requirement, the Supreme Judicial Court found the two-hour delay to be fatal to the Commonwealth's claim that the search was incident to arrest. Id. at 554.
In Commonwealth v. Motta, 424 Mass. 117 (1997), the Supreme Judicial Court implied the same result. There, the defendant was arrested in a car that was seized at an intersection of two public streets where it was impeding traffic and threatening public safety. Id. at 125. It was then towed to a secure lot and searched within five to ten minutes of its arrival at the station. Ibid. Although this search was upheld under the automobile exception to the warrant requirement, the court noted, in a footnote, that "[i]n view of the fact that the search of the automobile was neither contemporaneous with the arrest nor for the purpose of protecting the safety of the officers, it is doubtful whether the search could be justified on [the] basis [of a search incident to arrest]." Id. at 120 n.9, citing Alvarado, supra at 554.
Here, the circumstances that the Commonwealth claims result in a delay that was "reasonable" are even less compelling than those offered in Motta. The police officer here stated that he seized the bag from where the defendant dropped it and placed it in the automobile because it was raining. The search of the vehicle did not occur until "between a half an hour and an hour" after it was towed to the police station. There is no evidence to support the Commonwealth's contention that any danger to the officers caused the delay. The seizure of the bag occurred well after all the defendants were securely in custody. Moreover, although one codefendant had pulled a gun from his waistband before being placed under arrest, he too was already in custody when the bag was seized. The testifying officer never cited any threat posed by this codefendant as reason for his failure to search the bag on the scene.
Finally, although at oral argument both parties characterized the delay as "less than an hour" or "between a half an hour
Page 586
and an hour" based on Detective Withrow's testimony, he actually testified that this amount of time elapsed between when the car was brought to the police station and when the search occurred. He had already stated that after the defendants were taken into custody, one of the officers "stayed on scene . . . and waited for the tow truck to tow the Acura into the station." The time period between the arrest and the search, therefore, appears potentially even longer than the estimate used by the motion judge and the parties.
The motion judge's reliance on United States v. Edwards, 415 U.S. 800 (1974), and Commonwealth v. Thomas, 429 Mass. 403 (1999), is misplaced. Both cases addressed searches of items on the arrestee's person at the place of detention, which occurred some time after the arrests themselves. See Edwards, supra at 801-802, 807; Thomas, supra at 407-409. Indeed, the Chadwick Court explicitly distinguished Edwards on the basis that Edwards dealt with searches of the person, United States v. Chadwick, 433 U.S. at 16 n.10, and Thomas, also involving the search of a person, relies specifically on Edwards. Thomas, supra at 409. Other courts too have continued to differentiate between searches of the person, which may be delayed to be conducted at the place of detention, from searches of items in the arrestee's "immediate control," which must be contemporaneous. See, e.g., Curd v. City Court of Judsonia, Ark., 141 F.3d 839, 842-843 (8th Cir.), cert. denied sub nom. Curd v. Odom, 525 U.S. 888 (1998).
Likewise, the cases relied upon by the Commonwealth are inapposite. The Federal cases, United States v. Nelson, 102 F.3d 1344, 1346 (4th Cir. 1996), cert. denied, 520 U.S. 1203 (1997), and United States v. Han, 74 F.3d 537, 542 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 517 U.S. 1239 (1996), do purport to allow a "reasonable" delay between an arrest and an otherwise permissible search, but in each instance the delay at issue was no more than a few minutes and the search was at the scene of the arrest. Here, a significant lapse of time occurred before the defendant's bag was searched, and the search was conducted at the station. Nelson and Han cannot be read so broadly as to permit the search in the instant case.
The Commonwealth also relies on Commonwealth v. Netto,
Page 587
438 Mass. 686 (2003). There, police had obtained a warrant to arrest the defendants and to search their apartment for certain items, although the defendants were ultimately found and arrested in a motel room. Id. at 692. During the arrest in the motel room, the officers noticed some of the defendants' possessions that were named in the search warrant for the apartment. Ibid. Immediately after the defendants were secured outside the room, those items were seized. Id. at 694. The Supreme Judicial Court held that the search of the motel room and seizure of various items were lawful as incident to an arrest, even though the defendants were just outside the room when the items were seized. Id. at 694- 696.
The court did not discuss the search of the seized items that occurred later at the station except in a footnote. The court first rejected the defendants' argument that the lack of a demonstrated "exigency" (i.e., a threat to officer safety or destruction of evidence) precluded upholding the latter search as incident to arrest. Id. at 696-697 n.13. Moreover, it noted that since a warrant for those items, albeit in a different location, had already issued, little further protection to the defendants would be provided by requiring a second warrant for the search at the station. Ibid. Relying on the issuance of the original search warrant, the court did not consider the question whether the search at the station was contemporaneous with the defendants' arrest. Consequently, the decision in Netto does not alter our view that the search here was not sufficiently contemporaneous with the arrest to survive suppression.
There is little doubt that had the police searched the defendant's bag when he was arrested, it would have been a lawful search incident to arrest. The case law interpreting the Fourth Amendment demonstrates, however, that the contemporaneity requirement continues to have meaning. Accordingly, this case, where the search did not occur at the time or at the place of arrest, has surely crossed that line. Contrast Commonwealth v. Turner, 14 Mass. App. Ct. 1023 , 1024 (1982) (upholding search incident to arrest where search was "prompt and close to the point of arrest and a natural part of the arrest transaction"). To hold otherwise would exceed the bounds of established law
Page 588
concerning the search incident to arrest exception to the warrant requirement.
Judgments reversed.
Findings set aside.
Judgment for defendant.
[Note 1] The defendant's additional conviction of possession of a class D substance (marijuana), in violation of G. L. c. 94C, § 34, was filed with the defendant's consent and is not before us.
[Note 2] The two women in the group were released after warrant checks came back negative.
[Note 3] On appeal, the Commonwealth does not pursue the argument it made below, that the search constituted a lawful inventory search. Rather, it concedes that the failure to introduce a written inventory policy is fatal to that claim. See Commonwealth v. Bishop, 402 Mass. 449 , 451 (1988).
Furthermore, the Commonwealth argues for the first time on appeal that the search falls under the "inevitable discovery" doctrine. Even if we were to consider this claim, it is unavailing. The Commonwealth contends that "[h]ad [the detective] searched the defendant's bag at [the scene of arrest], he would have found the firearm. . . . [t]hus, its discovery during the later search was inevitable." It further states that the detective's "discovery of the firearm was 'certain as a practical matter'; it was simply delayed." This argument mischaracterizes the inevitable discovery rule. Inevitable discovery applies when police obtain evidence unlawfully, but the Commonwealth can establish that it was "certain as a practical matter" to be discovered subsequently by lawful means. Commonwealth v. O'Connor, 406 Mass. 112 , 117 (1989). Here, the Commonwealth asks us to permit an unlawful search based upon a past opportunity to lawfully conduct a search. This circumstance is simply not one where the inevitable discovery doctrine is applicable. It is specious to argue that the discovery of the firearm was inevitable through lawful means when in fact the opportunity to lawfully search the bag came and went without any search occurring at all.
[Note 4] The Legislature has statutorily narrowed the authority to conduct a search incident to arrest under art. 14, requiring that such a search be made only for the purpose of removing weapons or gathering evidence for the crime for which the arrest was made. G. L. c. 276, § 1, as amended by St. 1974, c. 508 (emphasis added). This limitation was enacted in response to United States v. Robinson, 414 U.S. 218 (1973), where a search incident to arrest was upheld although it was for contraband unrelated to the crime for which the defendant was arrested. Id. at 235. See Commonwealth v. Madera, 402 Mass. 156 , 159 (1988). However, this limitation is not at issue in the instant case, and Massachusetts decisions concerning the spatial and temporal limitations on a search incident to arrest have relied on Fourth Amendment law. See, e.g., Madera, supra at 158 (citing Federal case law in determining whether search was within defendant's immediate control). Commonwealth v. Alvarado, 420 Mass. 542 , 554 (1995) (analyzing contemporaneity requirement by citing Federal case law).

Has a Death Occurred? We Are Available 24/7 (336) 904-1053 Live Chat
Obituary of Bette Light
"I was glad when they said unto me, "Let us go into the house of the Lord" Psalms 122:1.
Bette Ann Hendrix Light, 88, the daughter of the Rev. Thomas and Edith Hendrix was born into the church and it was the center of her life. January 10, 2019 her membership was transferred to the Church Triumphant where she will worship for eternity.
Bette was born in Greensboro on May 23, 1930. She married James Light at West Market United Methodist Church, where she volunteered in the Children's department for many years. Jim and Bette later transferred to their neighborhood church, Muir's Chapel United Methodist Church. Bette was active in United Methodist Women, Circles, tape ministry, altar Guild, Staff Parrish, prayer chain, OPALS, and GRACE programs. She was particularly blessed to serve as the director of OPALS(older adults) and Circle leader. She was a student of BSF.
Bette followed her mother as a dedicated educator with a lifelong passion for learning. Teaching was much more than a job. She enjoyed the challenges, relationships, and excitement that teaching brought her. Most of her 34 year career was with Greensboro City Schools. She wrote many original plays and developed techniques designed to highlight the talent and learning style of each individual student. Her goal was to develop self-esteem which would maximize the possibility that the knowledge acquired would exceed the period of instruction.
Bette graduated from Greensboro High School. She attended Guilford College and as a freshman she sang in the choir and was chosen Christmas Queen. She later graduated from East Carolina University. While there, she served on the Recruiting Team and as Marshal, and she was Homecoming representative. She pursued graduate studies at Wake Forest University and University of North Carolina-Greensboro.
She taught her first year in Wilmington and was chosen "New Teacher of the Year". She held memberships in a number of professional organizations. Significant among those was initiation into Delta Kappa Gamma Honor Society for outstanding Educators. She was the 1980-81 Price Traditional and 81-82 PTA Teacher of the Year. She was listed in Who's Who among outstanding Educators in 1990.
Early on, her mother fostered a love of music and she was singing solos in church on the radio by age 10. She was an equestrian most of her life, and she was an avid water skier well into her 70's. She was in her element on the water. She always said her ski runs were a time of praise and Heaven seemed a little closer on the water. She enjoyed a variety of crafts and the challenge of making "something out of nothing". She took pleasure in designing greetings for her card ministry. Bette's creativity emerged in all her efforts.
She was preceded in death by her parents, two sisters and five brothers.
She is survived by her husband, James Madison Light, Jr.; son James Light, III(Capt. Jim) and his family of Kernersville, including three grandchildren, Skyler, Joshua-Guy, and Lea.
In Bette's own words, "I never expected such a wonderful life. I've had meaningful opportunities to serve the Lord, I've had a loving family which I've loved with all my heart, I've been blessed with good health which afforded a very active lifestyle, all reasons to be in the House of the Lord giving thanks.
Although, following a 2016 automobile accident, Jim and I have been handicapped and had to curtail our activities, we have remained thankful."
To honor Bette, it would be her desire for you to take time to offer a helping hand, a listening ear, or a heartfelt prayer for someone in need.
Funeral Services will be private.

Part 1: Clearing the storage room
I made the first steps in setting up my shop today. I already have a workbench but currently it sits outside, not such a good plan with temperatures hitting 36C everyday and the rains approaching. We rent a house on the outskirts of Bangkok which has a small shed sized storage room which was full of the landlords old junk. Today a truck from a local temple arrived with 4 or 5 guys and they cleared it out and took everything away. Now I can start to clean it up, slap some paint on the walls an...

One of the reasons for writing this blog series is the hope that it may help fellow woodworkers trying to do the same in Thailand.

Those of you not in the area may want to change channels about now. Getting set-up to be able to start building things has been quite a frustrating experience.

Assistance Available for Residents Impacted by Mid-Michigan FloodingContact: State Emergency Operations Center Public Information Officer, 517-284-3882
June 29, 2017
Low-income residents who were affected by last week's flood in mid-Michigan may be eligible for emergency relief assistance through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS).
State Emergency Relief assistance is available for eligible residents that need help with home repairs that are necessary to correct unsafe conditions and restore essential services. Applicants must be the owner or purchaser of the home and must meet other eligibility requirements to qualify. To apply, visit www.michigan.gov/mibridges or contact the local MDHHS office.
"It's important that Michigan residents have immediate help available to protect their health and safety during emergencies," said MDHHS Director Nick Lyon. "Our staff is prepared to assist residents of the counties affected by the flooding as they recover from the significant damage that occurred."
The lifetime maximum amount of funds available for non-energy related home repairs is $1,500 per household. State Emergency Relief assistance is available for repairs not covered by homeowner's insurance for the basic house structure, hot water heater, septic/waste disposal system, doors/windows, extermination services, electrical, plumbing, roofs and wells.

Residents can call 211 to request assistance for home cleanup from flood-related damage. Callers will be referred to volunteer organizations that may be able to assist with relief activities.

About the Disaster
Lt. Gov. Calley declared a "state of disaster" for Isabella and Midland counties on June 23. On June 28, Gov. Rick Snyder instructed the Michigan State Police (MSP) to amend a recent "state of disaster" declaration to include two additional counties in mid-Michigan after severe weather and intense rain struck the counties resulting in widespread flooding damage. Along with Isabella and Midland counties, the amended disaster declaration now includes Bay and Gladwin counties. By declaring a "state of disaster," the state of Michigan will make available all state resources in cooperation with local response and recovery efforts in the disaster area as outlined in the Michigan Emergency Management Plan. Calley's declaration authorizes the MSP/EMHSD to coordinate state efforts.
The public is encouraged to monitor local media for up-to-date weather reports and emergency information. For updated information and additional safety tips, follow the MSP/EMHSD on Twitter at @MichEMHS or visit www.michigan.gov/miready.

There are many reasons why women leave the workforce, with raising children at the top of the list. I'll admit from personal experience, it is extremely hard to do both. When Asher was born, I left a thriving career. It wasn't long after that I started taking on consulting gigs and volunteer work part-time. To be the mom I wanted to be, I needed flexibility, options, opportunity, and understanding. I also needed childcare. This combination was extremely hard to find, so I opted to continue as an entrepreneur, but currently working at about half the capacity as my pre-baby self.
I'm not alone. Nearly 75% of women who have left their careers do so to take care of children, and amazingly 90% of these women want back in at the right time. Yet, only 40% are able to actually gain full-time work. That means the workforce is losing out on amazing talent–women. And then we end up with numbers like this–only 6% of Fortune 500 companies are run by women.
Women and mothers are not set up for success in the workplace. To start, the U.S. is the only industrialized nation that does not have paid family leave. Thankfully, some companies are taking matters into their own hands, adding maternity and paternity leave, subsidizing childcare, creating in-house childcare, and setting up pumping rooms.
Enter Jessica Jackson, founder of The Nest. This single mom of 4 kids – aged 4, 6, 8, and 10, is intimately acquainted with the challenges of parenthood, the workplace, and childcare. When she and I met for lunch, Jessica was two weeks into her nanny quitting with no notice given. Yet, she wasn't slowing down.
Jessica has her eyes on disrupting the daycare industry which hasn't been touched in decades. Her start-up is dreamy. After you read our interview below, imagine what your life as a new mom/parent would have been like with this type of support system. And imagine all of the future moms, families, and companies who will be positively impacted.
xoxo, alex
What is your professional background? I'm trained in environmental engineering but have spent the last 8 years as a UX design and data-backed strategy consultant for venture backed startups across a host of disciplines, but my favorites are energy and healthcare.
What inspired The Nest? You read that I have 4 kids and I'm in tech, right? Having a nursing baby and putting them in daycare sucks.
How is The Nest a game changer?
- No more arriving late to work – quick pick-up and drop-off with Baby Valet
- No more pumping at your office – nurse your baby at work with Baby-On-Demand
- No more missing your baby desperately – with Baby Techie you can video chat your little one
- No more worrying about juggling work deadlines and daycare schedules – with dropoff freedom anytime between 6am and 8pm
What does female talent loss in the workplace mean? It's hard to focus on just a few statistics here because the gender equality gap is ridiculous. Women earn 80% of the money men earn for the same jobs, the rate of women in computing peaked in 1991, we're severely less likely to be executives (11% of executive positions in the valley) and we account for just 5% of all startup founders.
Combine the gender pay gap with invisible workload mothers carry of tending for the home and the children and you have a situation precipitating female talent loss. It's no wonder 40% of us leave the workforce to care for our children full time and we quit tech at twice the rate of men.
Where do you see The Nest in five years? The Nest has a vision to change the business landscape for women in this country. I'll tell you it's not just about daycare, but you'll have to watch and see to find out what we do next.
While launching this business, what commitments are you making to yourself to live a balanced life? We all have the same 24 hours and most of my hours are committed to The Nest or the children and I'm committed to carving out REGULAR pieces for myself, even if they're tiny. I work out for 10 minutes every morning, it's enough to make me sweat and get my day going. I spend an hour reading and an hour writing, every morning. And, most importantly, I spend at least 8.5 hrs in bed every night. Then, I give myself grace to fail. When, I fail to workout or sleep or write, I acknowledge the lack of discipline that led to the failure, give myself grace and choose again the next day.

I am starting to think, maybe I need more calcium or something in my diet. My nails don't look like they have grown even the tiniest fraction. But, I will post day 3, and a bit of a collage of days 1, 2 and 3 – maybe someone else see's a little growth?
One problem I have noticed with my photos is, the side (right hand) with the olive oil, is too shiny in the pics to see anything. I will try different lighting tonight 🙂
Also, I am not filing – so that is why they look extra icky. Hubby has promised a spa trip for my upcoming bday, so I will book a "professional" manicure then 🙂
(Original Post Below)
After do a little bit of research – I came to the conclusion, that Essie "Grow Faster" was going to be my treatment of choice while growing my nails back.
Essie claims, on the box "5 day growth treatment – up to 27% longer nails in 5 days"
I have no idea how to determine whether my nails have grown 27% more, or what – but I will know if they grow more….if I use Essie Grow Faster on one hand, and nothing on the other.
So that is what I will do – and I will take pictures and let you know how it goes!

Program Spotlights
Sunshine Home Share
Sunshine Home Share Colorado is a community-driven nonprofit that connects seniors with empty space in their homes with someone needing affordable housing. Our senior home providers are losing their ability to remain in their homes due to rising costs of their homes and the high costs of in-home support, and senior home seekers are forced into homelessness with rising rental costs and drastic affordable housing shortages. Using existing housing stock to support aging in place and create affordable housing just makes sense. Matches are made based on compatibility, supportive service exchange needs, and the comprehensive social work model is designed to support safety in the matching process. For more information visit our website Sunshinehomeshare.org or call 303.915.8264.
Miracle Street Gallery
The Miracle Street Gallery is a unique opportunity for those who are homeless, disabled, low income, ex-offenders, justice involved or those aging out of foster care. It's an art gallery that provides an opportunity to showcase their work and then make some sales through special events and our online sites. The artists who submit their items for sale keep 85% of whatever they sell. They set their own prices and the gallery keeps 15% of sales to help pay for overhead and the website.
We have room for dozens of artists to display their work. They could be paintings, sculpture, jewelry, leather goods, stained glass, drawings or any other creative expression.
For more information please call 303.815.4914. Read More on the MDHI blog.

Report for FW07-308
Augmentation of Mite Predators on Apples and Grapes
Project Type: Professional + Producer
Funds awarded in 2007: $25,000.00
Projected End Date: 12/31/2009
Region: Western
State: Oregon
Principal Investigator:
Lyla Lampson
Lampson Research and Consulting
Project Information
In Oregon's Walla Walla Valley, the pesticide treatments used to control codling moths on apples also kept mite populations at bay. But as producers have shifted to "softer chemicals" for safety and ecological reasons, the change in spray programs has upset the natural enemy mite complex, and growers are now spraying 40-80% of acreage, up from only 5% before the shift. This Professional + Producer grant will try to increase populations of mite predators to the healthy levels seen before the change in spray programs. Lyla Lampson, project coordinator, will obtain appropriate mite predators to distribute to three producers, who will then place the predators in their fields of apples as well as grapes. If augmentation releases appear promising and economically feasible, extension workshops will train producers in how and when to release predators and conduct mite counts.

Here's my setup: On the second floor, I have my Rogers (Cisco) modem and my DIR-628 router. The network is set to WPA/WPA2 mode, running on channel 11, on 2.4GHz Band.
In the basement, I am trying to setup a VoIP router next to the demarcation point. The VoIP router issued to me by my provider is not wireless capable.
I purchased a DIR-505 and configured it as a repeater. The VoIP router's internet is coming via Ethernet connection to the DIR-505.
My problem: The phones are working just fine on VoIP. I've had no issues with calls so far. However, the presence of a wireless repeater appears to confuse/interfere with my laptop's WiFi. Randomly and the WiFi signal will drop and show the yellow exclamation icon on the network icon in Windows 7.
I called D-Link's people yesterday and it doesn't seem they can figure out why my laptop is randomly dropping the WiFi signal. It goes down for a few secs and then reconnects. I was assured that regardless my reason for setting up a repeater, my WiFi should not be dropping signal like this.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can fix this? Worst case scenario, what device can I replace my DIR-505 with?
By the way here is the link for the DIR-505.

I am writing a paper for an upcoming conference being sponsored by a new ASCE institute – Utility Engineering and Survey Institute, or UESI. The topic I am pursuing is the use of mobile lidar to collect as-built utility locations.
Believe it or not, the current standard practice is not good. If there is an as-built it is usually done it is likely to be a sketch with ties to physical objects on the surface with the depth recorded below grade, not an elevation based on a universal datum, like sea level or any real world coordinates.
James Anspach has been doing a lot of work on this as the Chair of the ASCE 38-02 committee. Have a look at this presentation. He is trying to get people to adopt a standard for as-builting utilities. I am sure it seems obvious to most of us, particularly in the case of underground utilities, but it is not happening.
Whether it be mobile or static lidar we all know that in a few short minutes the critical location information in 3D can be obtained with laser scanning. Now can someone convince the owners that this it is inexcusable not to do this?

Why Apple Deserves a Trillion-Dollar Valuation
Apple's market cap crossed $800 billion for the first time two weeks ago. Not long ago, we predicted that Apple would be the world's first trillion-dollar company. We've had ups and downs since then, but now we're closer than ever.
We think Apple deserves the largest valuation of any company in history. Investors are finally giving the company credit for its defensible, recurring business of selling high margin hardware and software, layering in Services revenue growing in the high-teens. While not a traditional recurring business with quarter-to-quarter predictability, 600 million+ iPhone customers with 96%+ satisfaction rates generate predicable revenues over longer periods of time.
Year-to-date, shares of AAPL are up 32.3% vs the Nasdaq at 13.9%, as of this writing. A key reason for the stock's outperformance is mounting expectations for the iPhone X coming this fall, which should reaccelerate growth in the iPhone business. We expect iPhone units to be up around 7% y/y for the iPhone X cycle (FY18) and flattish in 2019 and 2020. The stock currently trades at about 15x forward EPS, which is in line with historical multiples of ~16x heading into new iPhone cycle launches (iPhone 5 and iPhone 6). The stock only traded at around 11x forward EPS heading into iPhone 7, which was viewed as more of a stepping-stone to the iPhone X.
More importantly, the iPhone X will be Apple's first meaningful step into augmented reality (AR) as the new phone will have the ability to map the real world through new cameras and sensors. Google did this first with its Tango smartphone platform, but Apple will take it mainstream and could have over 100 million AR-enhanced smartphones in the market by this time next year. As we wrote previously, Apple is well positioned to be one of the major winners in AR. Design remains their unique core competency relative to other competitors like Google and Microsoft, and they will also have an early-mover advantage in AR-enhanced smartphones through the iPhone X.
A note of caution from years of seeing iPhone product cycles: A near-term pull back in shares may happen as we get closer to the typical late September iPhone launch date. Investors notoriously 'sell on the news' as Apple's product pipeline is well telegraphed at this point and the company typically does not announce unexpected products.
Beyond trying to time the public markets, which we're avoiding now as venture capitalists, Apple remains in a strong position. The iPhone business should show growth this year and relative stability over the next several years. The company should be able to repatriate a meaningful amount of its overseas cash in the next year. The Services business should continue to grow in the low-double digits for multiple years, providing incremental high margin software revenue driven by growth in the iPhone user base. Plus, there is optionality in Apple's development of AR glasses, AirPods as hearables, and the potential for an Apple car.
Bigger picture, large cap tech is a great place to be. Apple's market cap makes it king, but Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, and, our current favorite, Tesla, have all performed well in the current optimistic market environment. These six companies are investing heavily in the core focus themes of our fund that we see as the future of computing: AI, robotics, VR, and AR. They, too, see the next wave of technology coming and Apple, in particular, is well positioned to benefit.
Disclaimer: We actively write about the themes in which we invest: artificial intelligence, robotics, virtual reality, and augmented reality. From time to time, we will write about companies that are in our portfolio. Content on this site including opinions on specific themes in technology, market estimates, and estimates and commentary regarding publicly traded or private companies is not intended for use in making investment decisions.

The 2018/19 Government Policy Statement (GPS) sets an expectation of the Transport Agency to 'deliver the right infrastructure … at the best cost' as part of the 'value for money' theme. This calls for a more mature approach to whole-of-life asset and activity management, and greater consistency across the land transport sector. The continued development of individual solutions to common problems is inefficient. We need reliable and sharable information about land transport assets across their lifecycle to drive more informed investment decisions.
The Treasury's National Infrastructure Plan(external link) also highlights the importance of the development of 'national, shared, open data standards for infrastructure'. It is one of the key focus areas.
The Asset Management Data Standard (AMDS) project will develop and implement a national, shared data standard for land transport infrastructure assets. It will be a way of defining and describing land transport assets, their attributes, characteristics, properties, location and performance to enable efficient and effective end-to-end life cycle asset management.
At the same time, other public infrastructure owners such as the water and broader utilities sector are also progressing their national, shared, open data standards. This means we need to work collaboratively to ensure the interdependencies are better understood and, where necessary, the data standards for similar land transport assets are aligned to give a joined-up view of public infrastructure.
The data standard for land transport assets will offer a consistent, integrated approach to data structures and asset management. It will enable better asset data acquisition and analytics, better management of land transport asset data and greater opportunities for sharing and collaboration.
This will help with forward work planning, strategic asset management and improved sector-wide investment decisions because of a richer, consistent, spatially-enabled evidence base.
Our vision is to share transport asset data within and between organisations easily, so decision makers can access and confidently use all relevant information wherever they are, whenever they want, whoever has provided it.
The AMDS project scope includes:
Following Investment Logic workshops, an initial business case was developed in 2018 with participation from the sector – the councils, contractors and technical consultants. An Indicative Business Case is now being prepared.
The projected timeline for this work is:
