Jimaran Vs Seminyak - Please Help

Hi Guys,

Help please. We are trying to book our trip this May and want to stay in private villas.

We have a choice of Seminyak or Jimbaran for 6 nights, which would you choose and why for location?

We visited Jimbaran for one evening 5 years ago and I don't really remember it too well.

But we don't want somewhere that is really busy, not bothered about beaches either.

OLD THREE HUNDRED. The name Old Three Hundred is sometimes used to refer to the settlers who received land grants in Stephen F. Austin's first colony. In January 1821 Austin's father, Moses Austin, had received a permit from the Spanish to settle 300 families in Texas, but he died in Missouri a short time later before he could realize his plans. Stephen F. Austin took his father's place and traveled to San Antonio, where he met with the Spanish governor Antonio María Martínez, who acknowledged him as his father's successor. Austin quickly found willing colonists, and by the end of the summer of 1824 most of the Old Three Hundred were in Texas. During 1823–24 Austin and the land commissioner Baron de Bastrop issued 272 titles, but Bastrop was called away in August 1824, and the work remained unfinished until 1827, when the new commissioner, Gaspar Flores de Abregoqv, issued the remaining titles. Since the family was the unit for distribution, Austin permitted unmarried men to receive grants in partnership, usually in groups of two or three. Twenty-two such partnership titles were issued to fifty-nine partners. In all, 307 titles were issued, with nine families receiving two titles each. Thus the total number of grantees, excluding Austin's own grant, was actually 297, not 300. The colonization decree required that all the lands should be occupied and improved within two years; most of the settlers were able to comply with the terms, and only seven of the grants were forfeited.

Old Three Hundred family

The lands selected by the colonists were along the rich bottomlands of the Brazos, Colorado, and San Bernard rivers, extending from the vicinity of present-day Brenham, Navasota, and La Grange to the Gulf of Mexico. According to the terms of the colonization agreement, each family engaged in farming was to receive one labor (about 177 acres) and each ranching family one sitio (about 4,428 acres). Because of the obvious advantages, a sizeable number of the colonists classified themselves as stock raisers, though they were technically planters. Each family's sitio was to have a frontage on the river equal to about one-fourth of its length; thus the east bank of the Brazos was soon completely occupied from the Gulf to what is now Brazos County. Most of the labors were arranged in three groups around San Felipe de Austin, which formed the nucleus of the colony.

Jared E. Groce

The majority of the Old Three Hundred colonists were from the Trans-Appalachian South; the largest number were from Louisiana, followed by Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Missouri. Virtually all were originally of British ancestry. Many had been born east of the Appalachians and were part of the large westward migration of the early years of the nineteenth century. Most were farmers, and many—including the Bell, Borden, Kuykendall, McCormick, McNair, McNeel, Rabb, and Varner families—already had substantial means before they arrived. Because Austin wanted to avoid problems with his colonists, he generally only accepted those of "better" classes; indeed, only four of the Old Three Hundred grantees were illiterate. Another indication of the financial stature of the grantees was the large number of slaveholders among them; by the fall of 1825, sixty-nine of the families in Austin's colony owned slaves, and the 443 slaves in the colony accounted for nearly a quarter of the total population of 1,790. One of the colonists, Jared E. Groce, who arrived from Georgia in January 1822, had ninety slaves. Though not all of the original grantees survived or prospered, Austin's Old Three Hundred, as historian T. R. Fehrenbach has written, formed "the first Anglo planter-gentry in the province." Their plantations, arrayed along the rich coastal riverbottoms, constituted the heart of the burgeoning slave empire in antebellum Texas.

On June 7, we'll meet the doctors of Saving Hope, a drama that stars Michael Shanks as the coma-ridden Chief of Surgery who actually wanders the halls of his hospital... as a ghost? As a figment of his own imagination? That's the question at the heart of the series.

It also features Erica Durance (Smallville),Daniel Gillies (Vampire Diaries), Huse Madhavji (Combat Hospital), Julia Taylor-Ross (Rookie Blue) and Kristopher Turner (The Listener).

Watch an extended trailer now and decide if you'll tune in:

I've been building websites for years but recently went into teaching. I became a website builder expert after years of hard work and training. I know how to get a site listed on the first page of Google. I taught myself how to turn Wordpress Blogs into Beautiful websites. I am also a video expert creating videos for businesses and ranking them on the first page of Youtube. I wanted to teach and be able to give back on what I've learned throughout these years. I've also taught myself software creation to make life just a little easier while working on computers. I'm looking forward to teaching you.

The Focus Guy

Steve Beedie is on a mission to help entrepreneurs students and everyday people just like you

“Elevate The Happiness Of Humanity"

After nearly a decade serving his country in the armed forces and over a year of his life spent at war Steve has seen more than most people watch in movies. His life came crashing around him after watching a young boy killed at the side of the road in Kosovo from a land mine. The devastation crippled his view of the world and caused him to journey on a dark path of PTSD fuelled with alcohol addiction and breakdowns.

Almost ten years after this atrocity Steve found himself in the prison cells after a very heavy night of drinking and woke up with the world’s worst hangover. His head spinning and his marriage on the rocks he knew it was a moment of destiny. Steve knew there was no one coming to save him and so he made a promise to himself and his family that he was going to quit drinking forever and climb out of the gutter to find a better life. Today Steve’s message and vision is clear and true.

Now a public speaker and author Steve shares his story and passion to help others who have lost faith in themselves by showing them how to re capture hope passion and purpose. Steve is a dedicated student of personal development having read nearly 500 books in the last 7 years he gave up drinking alcohol and started drinking books.

His latest vision is an online training system that teaches entrepreneurs how to Double Their Focus to help them win in business and life. Steve has used his story to capture the attention of his market by leveraging his ideas to appear in the press radio and television. Steve was able to appear in front of millions of fans from his niche by getting strategically aligned with massive joint venture partners who took his story to the media and gave him an opportunity to share his story. He used this opportunity to help raise millions of pounds for his favourite cause and help his beloved veterans live a better quality of life

Today you are invited to uncover your own inner personal power and begin increasing your focus and drive to live an extraordinary life.

Black Veil Brides: 'People Write Us Off as Faggy Makeup Band'

Frontman Andy Biersack cites reputation frustrations as inspiration for "very angry" new album.

Ultimate Guitar

Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Biersack has recently discussed frustrations behind the group's reputation of a "faggy makeup band," citing them among key inspirations for a "very angry" new album.

Asked about the lyrical content of the upcoming "Black Veil Brides IV" record, Andy told Revolver, "Very angry. I feel like in a lot of ways I had a lot of aggression towards the state of how we were perceived. Obviously some people will see, 'Oh, he's the guy who yells at awards shows' or whatever.

"But in a lot of ways, we had made this record ['Wretched and Divine'] so large in scale and had this grand story and we did the film. There was a certain level of frustration when you feel you do this thing so large and great, but there were so many people who just refused to listen to the songs, like, 'They're a faggy makeup band.' I think on some level, when I was younger that used to affect me.

"In a way, I enjoyed looking back on those feelings because I don't really care anymore. I can't write about things in the moment anyway, but in a way I wanted to re-tap into those aggressive feelings. I think if anything thematically there is a lot more angst on this record in general. I'm shooting from the hip a lot more on this one. There's no grand story and the metaphors aren't as strong. So it's a return to form - more like our first album, lyrically," the frontman noted.

"Black Veil Brides IV" is due out on October 28. Produced by legendary Bob Rock, you can pre-order the effort over on Pledge Music.

    If this bothers them, they should try not being a faggy makeup band.
    Am I the only one whose noticed that their stage look isn't as bad as it used to be? On another note I think they're a very talented band musically and I'm looking forward to hearing the new album.
    They have cut down on the make up quite a bit to be honest. See the difference between their debut album and their most recent. It's a shame that people don't like them pretty much because of how they look. Their music is pretty decent, the talent in the band is really good too, though obviously personal preferences kick in (it's a shame that the make-up is a bit of an off-switch for many people).
    It's not just their look... their music is horrible too. They're just one of many, many crappy-to-mediocre bands that are cashing in on an image while riding the latest trendy wave all the way to the bank. Looking at this band makes me cringe and listening to them just makes me want to listen to ANYTHING else. If they were a decent band I wouldn't care what they look like but they're not.
    I desperately wish that this band (or rather just the lead singer, since he's the only original member) would've pursued their early sound rather than cashing out so early on their whole KISS-meets-A7X routine. And when I say their early sound, I'm talking way before their first album. Seriously, if you can find the original Black Veil Brides EP - the one that was produced in a garage in Ohio - it was a promising piece of post-hardcore. If (and it's a long shot) they were to pursue that sound on their upcoming material, I'd actually give them another shot.
    Even if they do, I bet people will still slag them off because of their image, like how quite a few people in this comment section are doing at the moment.
    Isn't every bands motive to make money? That's their career. They kind of have to live off of it. Why is it so bad they found a way to make money?
    Respectable bands make the music they want to make and try to find success with it. Bands like BVB (or rather, Andy Biersack) make music that'll get them money, reeking of commercialism. You can try to make money however you want, it's your choice, but don't complain when the backlash comes at you
    Eventually that may become the reason, but when bands start out, I think enjoying the music is the main reason. When it gets a bit boring, or you can't keep the energy up, then money weighs more as a reason to carry on. But in essence, a band is a business which needs money to carry on. Without it, they're out of the industry.
    I'm sorry but I honestly can't name a band that sounds like them. Even the band they're compared to the most, A7X are very different. Therefore I don't think you can refer to them as "trendy". And really the "they're only making music for money" argument is ridiculous as well, for any band. It's not like you can read they're minds and know what their motives are. Its ok to dislike them but the mindless bashing they get is just stupid.
    It's not "mindless bashing". You don't need to be able to read minds to understand what's going on. Maybe it's just a coincidence that their music AND image just happen to be a mash-up of what every emo/scenester wannabe teenage girl is throwing their money at these days. Just a coincidence, I'm sure. Black Veil Brides have about as much artistic integrity as One Direction... they just pretend to play metal. There's no other real difference.
    OK there are several things i'd like to say 1. Their image as of late has been very toned down. They no longer look like the wierdos they did a couple of years ago. It's very clear they've grown up from they're immature look. I'm not sure if you've noticed that. 2. As much artistic integrity of one direction? Are you aware of the level of musicianship of this band? I'm sorry but that was quiet a silly thing to say. 3. They have stated from day one they aren't a metal band. They just identify themselves as a hard rock'n'roll band. 4. I am not a "scenester" yet I enjoy their music and I'm not the only one like this. It's fair to say their music is there to be enjoyed by anyone.
    I don't care about their look. The problem is that their music is realy mediocre and for me personaly very boring. They are not the worst band ever but they aren't anything special either.
    The appearance of bands has never bothered me. Look how you look, why should you care what people think? It's just their music has never been great at all. I'm sure they have the skill to produce some great songs but I have no idea what they are trying to do
    They have talent, like there cover of Rebel Yell isn't bad. It's just their music is a lot of whiny crap with a lot of ballady "woahhh" type anthem crap. Hope they eventually realize what they're doing to put off the majority and instead of catering to teenage girls lyrically become real men.
    I think they have been toning the anthem-y stuff down, but not a lot. There were a couple of songs in the recent album which were seemed to be more song, compared to being anthems. If they are making this transition, it seems like it is happening, but slowly.
    "Large in scale" listening to the album, it wasn't bad, it was just so safe and bland. They make out that they're pushing boundaries when they sound like a watered-down A7X. Also Andy is a tool, so yeah, already starting on a bad foot
    " There was a certain level of frustration when you feel you do this thing so large and great, but there were so many people who just refused to listen to the songs, like, 'They're a faggy makeup band.' I think on some level, when I was younger that used to affect me. " They're not my cup of tea, but I've heard that album was pretty decent, and I can understand the frustration of making something good, and people refusing to accept it because they don't like the look.
    Fact is they've already released plenty of shit records and built up a horrific reputation for being posers. Simply put, people just don't want to know anymore. My advice is that they go their seperate ways and try rounding up different band mates for each other, they're their own worst enemy.
    Ok then take off the make-up, the woman's clothes and let it be all about the music. The band made it about appearance not everyone else.
    There's absolutely nothing wrong with having a strong visual element in music. Actually, no, a strong visual element is a REALLY good thing to have in a band, as long as the music matches up to it. The fact is they fail to fulfil both criteria with an aesthetic that's over 20 years out of date and music that doesn't stand on its own.
    But on the issue of image, the only reason people dismiss them as a makeup band is because they don't back it up. There is NOTHING wrong with having a distinctive image, but your music needs to stand on it's own
    Maybe if they weren't such stuck up little ****s with their heads too far up their makeup heavy asses people wouldn't care about whether their music is shit or not.
    If you don't want to be labelled a faggy make-up band then stop giving people a reason to label you a faggy make up band. Sorry guys but your egos are out of this world, it's embarrassing. The look you had for a while was basically just a total clone of the style that KISS went for. Andy, mate, you're the biggest poser in metal and don't act like you arn't. If faggy emo girls with no lives didn't fancy you your band would've been dropped months ago...not to mention your music stinks, bad.
    "Black Veil Brides: 'People Write Us Off as Faggy Makeup Band'" And so they do.
    Well, this would be the moment when you say that dont judge by the look, judge by what you hear. But unfortunately this isn't the case.

While setting up an asterisk pbx, I found out that Sprint has really shitty authentication for accessing thier customers voicemail boxes. Basically, if you can spoof your caller ID number to be the number of the voicemail box you want to access, it will dump you right into the users new messages. This will only work if they don't have thier box protected by thier pin which is an option Sprint customers can turn on, but I don't think it's a default.

To my understanding you must call from within the network in order for the caller-id authentication to work, making things like Asterisk useless, wich can manipulates caller id through voip vulnerabilities. Phone modification could be another story.

This job provides enough income to support my family, so I’m happy just to continue here.
— Tanjit

22-year-old Tanjit Pathak enjoys the challenge of running three machines simultaneously in the Tamul Plates factory, where he and five others race against time, turning palm leaves into disposable dinnerware. On most days, he can produce near 1,200 pieces, usually pulling two plates and a bowl out of a single palm leaf. His boss, founder Arindam Dasgupta, says proudly that Tanjit “is one of our best workers.” Because quality matters as much as quantity, Tanjit has to be on his game all day, working quickly. He dances in a choreograph of placing a palm leaf onto a heating-mold machine, filling the other two machines with more leaves while the first one processes, and then circling back again to remove shaped bowls and plates, and then start the process again.

When Tanjit graduated from high school, he had no desire to continue on to college. Jobs are scarce in the rural northeast of India, where he lives in Assam. According to Arindam, for every one job posted, you will get 1,000 applicants—200 of whom are serious about and qualified for the work. All Tanjit wanted was to make a decent wage, enough to help support his mother, father, and two younger sisters—with whom he still lives, as is common practice for young adults in India—and have a little left over for clothes, parties, and his mobile phone bill. He gives 60% of his earnings to his family and keeps 40% for himself.

Tanjit (center) prepares an arecanut leaf sheath for pressing on the heated mold.

Tanjit felt lucky to land an entry-level job with Tamul as a leaf washer, at age 17. Making biodegradable dinnerware takes a village - literally. Many local families collect leaves from the arecanut palm tree that grows here. They sell to leaf-collection agents for a few rupees each, and then the leaf agents supply Tamul with raw material that will become plates and bowls. Once at the factory, the leaves undergo a careful process of drying, sorting, and storing. Just prior to becoming dinnerware, they are thoroughly scrubbed clean. That was Tanjit’s job; but that didn’t last long. He was promoted just six months later, given one machine on which to learn how to make product. He soon graduated to three.

It takes time to perfect the skills involved with efficiency of movement and material. Pressing the leaves is a bit like pressing cookies with cookie cutters, as the machines cut and press a portion of the leaf into a plate and you want to have as much leaf left over as possible for the next plate. You must know the precise moment when to lift the heated mold, when the plate is cured but not burnt, and you must know how to get clean edges. Only the units fit for sale count in one’s daily output. Rejects do get used, though: They feed the fires that dry new leaf inputs. For Tanjit, however, it’s the pile of perfect products that makes him smile.

Starting work at 6:00am, Tanjit and his coworkers arrive to begin heating up the machines, which are ready to begin pressing leaves by 6:45am. Breaking only for lunch, they work until 2:00pm, when they count their units and clean up their area; then they are finished for the day.

Wearing a yellow T-shirt with a logo from an American rock band and a shock of dark hair neatly gelled, Tanjit says he still has no interest in going to college or getting married. His slender, blue-nail-polished hands fly from machine to machine. He says he’s very happy with this job. Arindam comments, when Tanjit is out of earshot, “He is mild person and a good worker. He doesn't get into others' business. Other youth don't contribute to the family income the way Tanjit does.” Arindam, known in the industry as an honest man with a social mission, has made a commitment to hiring as many women and youth as possible for Tamul. He explains why. “Many of our youth have a drinking problem,” he says, “but if they're busy like this, it keeps them out of trouble.” That is, you wouldn't want to come to work at 6am hung over. Tanjit has way too much to do for all that.

“This job provides enough income to support my family,” Tanjit says, “so I’m happy just to continue here.”

As Tamul has expanded, they’ve added home-production units to their fleet of leaf-pressing machines. This allows regional families to rent or purchase the same type of dryers and pressers used at the Tamul factory in smaller, home-based businesses that employ family members or neighbors. When Tamul made their first sale to a home business in a village on the banks of the Manas River, Tanjit was chosen to accompany the factory manager to drive the machine to its new location, install it, and stay for one week to train the new crew in the tricks of the trade.

“I really enjoyed that,” Tanjit says. “I hope the company continues to grow, so that I can travel more and do more trainings.” He’d like to start with Mumbai and Delhi, big cities in India that are no more than magical-sounding names to him now. But at 22, he’s already left the small village where he’d spent his whole life. For a humble leaf-washer who’s become one of the fastest and most skilled production workers at Tamul, that’s quite a promotion.

Flying to the US with a criminal offence

Discussion in 'New York/US' started by Toby01, Nov 22, 2015.

    I'm due to travel to the US sometime next year but have a criminal caution for possession of indecent images of a child. The offence was committed when I was 16 (I'm now 18) and will be spent in April next year.
    Will I have any problems flying to America or other countries from the UK?

    Think will depend on circumstances. If as above, should be ok but if not then comes under Moral Turpitude
    but in any event when 18, are not events wiped. I know they are never wiped after 18 but I think I saw
    somewhere that before 18 you were ok. Dont think its right to carry that weight around all your life but, as I say depends on circumstances.

    somewhat curiously

    Could anyone tell me the meaning of the sentence in bold?

    'How come they call it news if it's always the same?' is a rather intriguing question posed by a child in a New Yorker magazine cartoon. Somewhat curiously given the amount of public debate concerning the possible effects of television on young minds, investigations into children's engagement with televisual news in the household are few and far between .

    Thanks a lot .

    It means that there has been little research into how TV news affects children, which is surprising given the amount of debate there has been about the other effects TV has on children, like the effects of advertising, violence, sex, bad language, etc.

Disney Travel Resources

The Disney Area in Florida is comprised of several cities and towns in central Florida, including Davenport, Kissimmee, Orlando, The Villages, Clermont and many more.  The Disney Area is one of the most traveled-to destinations in the world, and it’s easy to see why!

The weather in the area averages highs above 70 all year, and for the most part is rather comfortable. However, during May through September – Hurricane Season – there are frequent showers that need to be considered. The rain generally doesn’t last that long, but it can sneak up quickly so always being equipped with an umbrella is suggested.

The area is also well known for its fantastic restaurants and golf courses. Since many of the traveling population that visits the Disney Area are children, there are a plethora of casual and themed dining options. However, the downtown Orlando section of the Disney Area actually attracts some of the best chefs in the world, and as a result there are some of the best high-end eateries in the world – just make sure to lock up a reservation in advance. Also calling the area home are many professional golfers, and with courses like Shingle Creek Golf Club, Orange County National, ChampionsGate Golf Club and many more, it’s to understand why.

But what’s the most popular reason folks travel from all over the world to the Disney Area? Well, it’s Disney World, of course! Walt Disney World has been around since 1971, and it’s the most visited theme park in the world. Between the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and the Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World has activities to appeal to all palettes.

Everyone should experience the Disney Area, so start planning your trip today!

                                                  ENTRY ORDER

                                 SUPREME COURT DOCKET NO. 2005-145

                                                        SEPTEMBER TERM, 2005

In re C.L., Juvenile                                                 }           APPEALED FROM:

                                                                              }           Franklin Family Court

}           DOCKET NO. 47-3-03 Frjv

Trial Judge:  Brian L. Burgess

                                          In the above-entitled cause, the Clerk will enter:

Mother and father separately appeal from an order terminating their parental rights in their son, C.L.  We affirm.

C.L. was born on May 5, 2001.  The Department for Children and Families (DCF) took custody of C.L. in 2003 after C.L. was seen in a hospital emergency room with multiple fractures and bruising.  At the time, C.L. was only twenty-two months old.  Just one month prior, C.L. was treated for a broken leg, but no other bruising, fractures, or other injuries were present.  The injuries noted during C.L.=s second visit were extensive:

three fingernail sized bruises on the left lower thorax, another bruise on the left upper thorax, several bruises on his right back area of the shoulder blade, six small bruises under his right armpit, one bruise on the left front rib cage, swelling over the right clavicle, swelling on the lower portion of his left upper arm with small degree of motion allowed, multiple petechia* on the back of his neck, hemorrhage in left eye, bruises on left upper forehead, scratches on the back of neck, swollen and red right-hand finger, bruise on the tip of the penis, bruised left ear, left elbow fracture, fractures to right and left clavicle and fractured left fifth finger.

Some of the injuries were older than others, but the fractured elbow and clavicles and the broken  finger occurred within the month between C.L.=s two hospital visits.   However the injuries occurred, mother agreed that she had  neglected C.L.  The child=s injuries were readily apparent, and the court found that Aany casually observant parent would have noticed [the] injuries, and would have notic[ed] their spread, in the ordinary course of parental interaction with the child over the course of a month=s time.@

Before entering DCF custody, C.L. lived in a home with mother, mother=s boyfriend, and the boyfriend=s ten-year-old daughter.  Neither the juvenile court nor DCF could determine which member (or members) of C.L.=s household caused the child=s injuries.  It was clear that the injuries were the result of abuse, however, which mother claimed to know nothing about.  The boyfriend=s ten-year-old daughter, who babysat for C.L., explained that some of the injuries occurred as a result of accidents when she was babysitting C.L.   To ensure that C.L. was protected in the future, the case plan DCF prepared required mother to move to another residence where mother=s boyfriend and his daughter were not living.  DCF also directed mother to engage in counseling, take parenting classes, Aacknowledge her role in the abuse@ of C.L., and demonstrate that she could supervise and care for C.L. in a safe environment free of any abuse.

After roughly six months of DCF intervention, mother had not secured alternative housing and she failed to engage in counseling consistently.  For an extended period of time, mother knowingly misled a DCF social worker about her living arrangements by claiming she no longer lived with her boyfriend and his daughter, when in fact she did.  Rather than move out,  mother suggested that the juvenile court return C.L. to the home she shared with her boyfriend and his daughter.  Mother explained that she had Achild proofed@ the home and that she and her boyfriend had obtained counseling for the ten-year-old girl.

When DCF removed C.L. from mother=s care, C.L.=s father was incarcerated.  C.L. does not know his father and has not seen him since August 2002.  Father has tried to maintain contact with the child by sending him hand-drawn cartoon greeting cards from time to time.  Father has a long criminal history with twenty convictions, and he has other children with whom he also lacks a meaningful relationship.  Father acknowledges that he needs instruction on parenting before he would be able to provide a home for C.L. after his release from prison.

Given the unlikelihood that either mother or father could assume a parenting role in C.L.=s life within a reasonable amount of time, the juvenile court terminated their parental rights and freed C.L. for adoption.  Mother and father challenge that decision on different grounds.  We address mother=s appeal first.

Mother claims that the juvenile court erred by failing to identify the causes and conditions that led the State to remove C.L. from her care.  Mother=s argument can be reduced to a single point: unless and until the juvenile court determines the identity of C.L.=s abuser, mother=s parental rights should remain intact notwithstanding her acknowledged neglect of C.L.=s obvious injuries.  We disagree.  The juvenile court=s duty in termination-of-parental-rights cases is to determine how to meet the affected child=s best interests in light of four statutory criteria.  In re K.F., 2004 VT 40, & 10, 176 Vt. 636 (mem.).  The most important criterion is whether the parent will be able to resume his or her parental duties within a reasonable amount of time.  Id.  Termination is not appropriate if the parent is likely to remedy the problems that led to the child=s removal from the home within a reasonable amount of time after DCF=s intervention.  See In re B.M., 165 Vt. 194, 199 (1996) (explaining that termination may not be ordered if a reasonable possibility exists that causes for state intervention can be remedied and the family reunited in a reasonable period of time).  In this case, the Acauses and conditions@ that led to custody were mother=s failure to protect C.L. from abuse, irrespective of the abuser=s identity.  The court found that the child=s injuries were obvious to any Acasually observant@ parent, and the record fully supports that finding.   The court was presented with pictures of C.L. that show the child=s small body covered in bruises and other injuries.  As DCF points out in its brief, A[d]ue to [mother=s] unwillingness or inability to provide a safe physical and nurturing environment for [C.L.], the mother is no further  ahead than when the initial case plan was approved.@  Mother has not demonstrated any error in the court=s decision to terminate her rights under the circumstances.

Father=s claim on appeal is similarly unavailing.  Father contends that termination is not appropriate because DCF never offered him reunification services.  Moreover, father argues,  DCF failed to consider placing C.L. with his paternal grandmother until father was released from prison and gained proper parenting skills.  DCF=s efforts to help parents overcome the reasons for state intervention are relevant to whether the parents will be able to resume their parental duties within a reasonable time period.  In re J.M., 170 Vt. 587, 589 (2000) (mem.).  The agency=s efforts are not, however, dispositive of the issue.  Ultimately, the juvenile court here was obligated to determine whether DCF met its burden to prove that father will not be able to resume his parental duties within a reasonable period of time.  Id

The juvenile court properly determined that the State met its burden as to father=s present and prospective inability to parent C.L.  C.L. and father are estranged due to father=s repeated criminal offenses and consequent incarceration.  The services DCF could offer were undisputably not available to father because he was imprisoned.  Father admits that he needs education and training to become a reliable parent to C.L.  When (and if) father will successfully complete the parenting education he needs remains uncertain.  Moreover, the court was convinced by father=s lack of a relationship with his other children that father is unlikely Ato follow through with establishing a long-term and meaningful relationship with [C.L.]@  Considering those facts, the child=s tender age and his need for permanency and stability, the juvenile court concluded that C.L.=s best interests were served by freeing him for adoption.  No reversible error appears.

Wheezing Isn't Always Caused By Asthma

Wheezing is a common childhood symptom, and is usually means a child is having some trouble breathing.

Although often associated with asthma, it is important to keep in mind that many infants and younger children wheeze when they get common viral infections, such as RSV. They may never wheeze again and may not develop asthma.

Kids and Wheezing

Wheezing is usually described as a high-pitched whistling sound that can sometimes be heard when a child is breathing in or out.

Wheezing can be caused by:

  • asthma
  • bronchiolitis, especially in infants and younger children
  • bronchitis
  • allergic reactions
  • inhaling a foreign object into the lungs, such as a coin, popcorn or a peanut
  • reflux and aspirating (inappropriately inhaling) liquids your child is drinking
  • vocal cord dysfunction
  • anatomic problems, such as a lung cyst or tumor

It is also important to make sure that your child is really wheezing. Some parents confuse nasal congestion with wheezing.

Is It Asthma?

When a child is wheezing, most people's first thought is asthma, but it is important to remember that not all wheezing is asthma, especially if it is your child's first episode of wheezing. If no one else in the family has asthma or other "allergic" conditions, such as eczema, food allergies, and hay fever, it is probably not asthma.

If your child has repeated episodes of wheezing, even if he gets better in between attacks of wheezing, then he may have asthma.

Other clues that might help point to the cause of your child's wheezing might include wheezing that only occurs after eating certain foods or getting an insect bite -- both signs of an allergic reaction. Wheezing that begins with a choking episode may mean that your child inhaled something into his lungs.

What You Need To Know About Wheezing

Other things to know about wheezing include that:

  • You can't always hear wheezing without a stethoscope until it gets very bad, so if you suspect that your child might be wheezing, don't wait until you can easily hear the wheezing before you seek medical attention.
  • "Stridor" is a sound that children with croup often make and it is often confused with wheezing.
  • Wheezing is not the only symptom of asthma. Some children only have a cough when they are having an asthma attack.
  • If your child's wheezing is not getting under control, a referral to a pediatric pulmonologist might be helpful.

Why Some Women Use Birth Control Pills for Acne

How the Pill Can Actually Help Treat Certain Types of Acne

Birth Control/Acne
Don Farrall Collection/Photodisc/Getty Images

Oral contraceptives, more commonly known as birth control pills, can effectively treat acne in some women. For years, doctors have used oral contraceptives off-label as acne treatments. Today, only a handful of oral contraceptives are also approved by the Food and Drug Administration as acne treatments. They include Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Estrostep, and YAZ.

Oral contraceptives are not used as a first line of defense against acne.

They are often prescribed after other treatment options have been exhausted, or if a woman needs a form of birth control anyway. For best results, oral contraceptives are used in conjunction with other acne treatments, such as topical retinoids, or benzoyl peroxide.

How Birth Control Works Against Acne

Most oral contraceptive pills are made up of a combination of progestin and estrogen. They alter the natural female reproductive cycle and hormonal patterns. The majority of birth control pills use ethinyl etradiol as the estrogen ingredient. Since birth control pills reduce the amount of testosterone within the body, they often improve hormonal-based acne breakouts. When testosterone production is suppressed, the amount of oil produced by the sebaceous glands is reduced. The chance of pore blockages is also reduced.

For women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), oral contraceptives can be particularly helpful in clearing acne brought about by this condition.

Certain birth control pills, such as Yaz and Yasmin, contain a progesterone that can help limit the amount of androgen hormones within the body, thereby reducing breakout activity. The pill can also help with other symptoms of PCOS, such as excessive hair growth.

Depending on the formulation, some oral contraceptives may raise testosterone levels in the body.

This, in turn, could actually worsen acne. If you are looking for a birth control pill that will help reduce acne breakouts, let your doctor know. He or she can prescribe a brand that will work with the goal of improving acne as well.

Common Usage Instructions

Oral contraceptive pills are taken daily, preferably at the same time each day. Three weeks of "active" pills are taken, followed by one week of placebo "reminder" pills, during which time menstruation will occur.

It can take three months or longer to notice any changes in acne after you begin taking oral contraceptives. It is not uncommon for acne to worsen before it improves.

It's also worth remembering that certain antibiotics such as tetracycline and minocycline, which may be used to treat acne are believed to reduce the contraceptive effect of birth control pills. A patient taking the pill for birth control will want to use a backup method while taking these antibiotics.

Possible Side Effects of Oral Contraceptives

As with all systemic medications, side effects may occur while taking oral contraceptives.

Common side effects may include nausea,  weight gain, breast tenderness,  menstrual spotting and mood swings. Less commonly, more serious side effects may occur. These include blood clots, stroke, headaches, gallstones,increase in blood pressure and nbsp;depression.

Oral contraceptives can be used as a long-term acne therapy for women who also need a form of birth control. They can effectively control mild to moderate acne breakouts, especially acne that tends to worsen during ovulation and menstruation. For women with more severe acne, birth control pills can be used in conjunction with other acne treatment medications.

4 star rating: Recommended September 2012

This was fun, but here's my take: Tour description didn't exactly match. Viator's rep picked us up on time, and was profess'l and friendly. Dropped us off at port, handing us off to the actual boat tour operators. Tour was listed as 9am-1pm (approx 4hrs) but was actually 9am-2:15 door to door in Miraflores, could easily have been longer if boat ran late, people swam more, hotel was farther etc. It's really a tour to go see sea lions w/ oppty to get into water with them - that was fun but unexpected. Yes, lots of birds along the way, The boat tour operators were friendly and knew what they were doing. Would definitely recommend for nature lovers, boat trip fans, and those with true 1/2 day free. Also, 3 people on our boat ride got seasick even with medicine, so word of warning on that would be good. Again, enjoyed this for sure - just wasn't sure what we were exactly in for. Guests could probably save money by showing up to Callao directly at the booth for 10am ride, but transfer service is good for not having to deal with how to get a taxi back from Callao once done.

Corinne H

3 star rating: Worth doing June 2016

This tour is quite different from other tours as you are not on land. Watching the sea lions and other wildlife on the islands was a treat. You will also get to swim with them. They provided snacks which was nice. Just a note that you will need most of the day. The description on line states that it starts in the morning but that is when they pick you up. The actual cruise really starts around 11am and you do not get back to your hotel till after 3pm.

Margaret L

3 star rating: Worth doing January 2015

Although our guide spoke English. We were not briefed on boat safety when we boarded the vessel. Also we were not told about being able to swim with the seals. This would have been a great experience if we had known about it before we left our hotel. We could have brought a towel and swim suit with us etc. There was nothing on your website stating this-

1 star rating: I do not recommend this November 2012

This trip was awful!!!! The boat trip was very rough. Five minutes out the guide passed out dramamine! It took two and one half hours to get to the island with the 6,000 sea lions. If you can image the worst thing you have ever smelled in your life 6,000 sea lions is worse than that. My eyes were tearing. I was choking. I was nauseated. They passed out cotton balls soaked with alcohol to hold at our noses. One other island had penguins and that was it. On the two and half hour trip back I threw up! Do not take this terrible trip!!!

Advocate editorial board opinion: UHV supporters know answer to question

By the Advocate Editorial Board
Dec. 18, 2010 at 6:18 a.m.

The time for questions is over. The time for action is now.

The Crossroads Commission on Education announced last week that it wanted to survey the community on what direction to take the future of higher education here. Of course, those following this issue closely know the real question is whether the UH System is the right one to grow the Victoria campus.

And that question already has been answered by the actions of UH, which has no history or interest in operating a system outside of the Houston metro area. Understandably, UH is focused on becoming a Tier 1 institution - a matter of prestige and federal funding - and not on growing higher education two hours down the road in Victoria.

Crossroads commission members should already have a laundry list of examples why UH is not the right fit for Victoria. What they need to do now is to show a powerful commitment to a new system such as Texas A&M or Texas Tech that has a track record and an interest in building a statewide system.

This unified front is critical to show the new system the community will do whatever is needed to help the Victoria campus succeed. With the right partner and vision, this campus can triple in size within the next decade and better meet the state's "Closing the Gap" initiative of expanding higher education opportunities across Texas. Victoria is nestled nicely between four large cities, offering an attractive option for students there and in the Rio Grande Valley.

Leaders must act quickly before the legislative session starts next month. That's why the time for asking questions is over. Instead, commission leaders need to be lining up legislative support.

Naysayers point to the bleak fiscal picture facing the Legislature, but they're missing the point. Although state funding is important, the key step is to realign the Victoria campus with a system that shares the community's vision for growth.

Most commissioners already know UH isn't that system. As member Jeff Lyons said at last week's meeting, "We're spitting in the wind with them."

Let's quit spitting and start stumping. While wishing UH well on its quest for Tier 1 status, let's politely part ways and look to the future.

No issue is more vital to the future of the Crossroads. A vibrant destination university would forever change the face of this community.

There's no question about that.
