Enjoyed our stay!
Review submitted: March 28, 2014 Date of arrival: March 21, 2014
Stayed here March 21-25 with 3 adults and 3 teens (first night with another 2 adults who had to fly home early). We very much enjoyed our stay at Hale O Lei. The rental process was very easy, and Hart was quick to answer every question we had. The house was clean, comfortable and outfitted with everything possible we could think of needing. Everything was just as pictured. One thing I would like to point out, the "private" master suite is very private, as it is accessed only from the outside. There is no access from the bottom floor to the upper floor unless you go out the front door and up a set of stairs. This might be an issue with someone with younger children; however, with ours being teenagers, the privacy was nice. We falsely assumed with being on the water, it wouldn't be as hot but it was quite humid in the bay. The screened windows and ceiling fans really helped with keeping it cooler to sleep at night (and there was air conditioning in the King-1/2 bath room). Another thing to point out is there is no glass windows, only screens. At first that made us a little nervous regarding security and noise, but it wasn't an issue at all. (If you are a light sleeper, be aware you are not able to block out the noise that naturally occurs in the community.) The geckos around the home were a joy to watch and kept the bugs at bay. Some activities we did while staying here were kayaking trip to Captain Cook Monument with Adventures in Paradise (snorkeling was SPECTACULAR, but go for the early morning trip as the bay filled up with other tours once we were leaving), Pu'uhonau o Honaunau (Place of Refuge) and snorkeling at Two Step, visiting South Point and Green Sand Beach (if you aren't up for the 2 1/4 mile hike to the beach, locals will 4x4 you in for a fee - worth it!), Hapuna Beach and Mauna Kea Beach (at the hotel with only 40 parking spots, so get there before 8am if you want a spot which means you leave the house before 7am), shopping for chocolate covered everything at Donkey Balls factory, and ate some good meals at Annie's Island Fresh Burgers and Paparoni's Pizza take out. Mahalo to Hart and Marlene for opening their home for us to enjoy, and we will be recommending it to friends.

45th anniversary trip
Review submitted: March 27, 2014 Date of arrival: March 1, 2014
We went here for 10 days to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary and were happy with the choice. We were close to the ocean and enjoyed the sounds of the surf lulling us to sleep. It was a very relaxing stay and we would stay here again. From here we drove just about everywhere on the island and saw most of the tourist spots, and other places as well. We loved it.

Hello All, I visit the island regularly and I have to say this is one of my favorite places I have ever stayed. We loved it. A great place for a girls week or a family getaway. I will be back soon. Checking schedule now. Don't miss this wonderful house and great location.

Family Gathering
Review submitted: January 4, 2013 Date of arrival: December 16, 2012
Hale O Lei is a wonderful location and has all the features for a great vacation with easy access to historical sights, great snorkeling, kayaking with playful dolphins, and beautiful sunsets. Manini Beach is a few minute walk from the house and has wonderful snorkeling. The beach entrance is a bit chilly from a natural spring but it easy to get into it you are traveling with first time snorkelers. The beach was never crowded due to limited parking and the locals are very friendly. There is a very friendly donkey that enjoys snacking on the grass near the beach.
The house easily sleeps 10 adults and has enough room for everyone to find a spot to read a book or take a nap. My husband and I live in a very quiet neighborhood so we found the roosters, birds, early morning leaf blower, and traffic noise a bit annoying and had to sleep with earplugs. However, the other couples had no trouble with the sleeping.
Hale O Lei had everything that we needed for a wonderful holiday including most common kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, toys to play in the ocean. If we ever have another large gathering we would definitely stay at Hale O Lei.

Fantastic experience all around
Review submitted: October 26, 2012 Date of arrival: October 19, 2012
We stayed at Hale O Lei with two other couples for 5 nights and had an amazing time. This wonderful island house is just across the street from beautiful Kealakekua bay. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the kitchen was well equipped. The house even had beach gear and snorkel equipment. You can walk a few minutes down the road to Manini beach park for snorkeling and relaxing. A short 10 minute drive gets you to Place of Refuge where you can learn about native Hawaiian culture, and snorkel at the nearby "two step" which rivals the snorkeling at Captain Cook monument. The house is in a quite neighborhood - at night you will fall asleep to just the sound of the ocean. Since the house is away from town, make sure to stock up on groceries so you can relax and not make the 15 minute drive in to town too often. There is a great lunch place, "Kalama's", about a 5 minute drive up the road which has what I'm pretty sure is some of the best shave ice in Hawaii, make sure to try the laulau or mahimahi burgers, you'll be in for a treat. It's also worth visiting the coffee and macadamia nut cooperative next door to Kalama's.
Kealakekua bay itself contains some of the best snorkeling in Hawaii. The best of the best is located a mile across the bay near the captain cook monument, currently accessible by kayak, with the kayak launch across the street and one house over. But note that a (free) permit is required from Hawaii State Parks to land a kayak near the monument. If you decide to rent kayaks, I highly recommend doing so through one of the legitimate local businesses (we rented from Aloha Kayaks) as opposed to the folks (illegally) renting at the launch itself. You will get much better equipment and professional advice and guidance about how to safely enjoy your day and protect the beautiful environment you are there to experience. Unfortunately we learned that kayaks may soon be completely banned from the bay because people aren't following the rules.
Hart and Marlene were great, and everything went smoothly with the rental. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quite and relaxing island experience.

Very soothing!
Review submitted: October 9, 2012 Date of arrival: September 26, 2012
Hale o Lei was an excellent place to call home during our first visit to the Big Island. Kaleakekua Bay and Manini Beach are mere steps away. The fresh air and hushed sounds of the bay lull you to sleep at night and are great to wake up to along with the birds in the morning. Other points of interest are easy to get to and going to the grocery store up the street is a convenient alternative to driving to Kailua (though that is not far either). If you are looking for a peaceful, soothing place to be Hale O Lei is it!
Hart and Marlene were very helpful and provided info that was very useful about the area.

Memorable family vacation.
Review submitted: February 18, 2012 Date of arrival: December 31, 2011
Where to start - we had such a wonderful time at Hale o Lei. We were 3 generations at this Kealakekua Bay house. There were10 big people and 4 little people and although that is a lot for the house it worked quite well with the extra futons dropped off by Hart and Marlene. Everything we needed was there except for groceries. The kitchen was very well equipped - even a rice cooker and electric wok. There were beach towels, fins, snorkels and masks, water shoes, noodles, boogie boards and sand toys. Also, a couple of children's games and books. Not to mention a coconut tree, banana tree and some very industrious spiders in the yard, which was an ideal place to settle after some ocean and beach time. Our hosts left so many papayas from their tree at home we couldn't finish them and then dropped off some pink grapefruit a day or two later. Kayaks can be put in 30 steps from the house and a beach and play lawn is down the road. Snorkeling at Captain Cook's Memorial is across the bay by kayak and worked very well for the 3, 4 and 5 year olds. With 4 small children we happily spent most of our time right in the area. Just one day trip to Volcano National Park.

snorkeling paradise
Review submitted: November 7, 2011 Date of arrival: October 21, 2011
Stayed at Hale O Lei 3 weeks ago, the pictures don't do it justice. The ocean is right there, across the street. Turn left out the gate walk 75 yards take the walk to Mahini beach, the snorkeling is some of the best in Hawaii. You're 100 ft from the kayak launch, well worthwhile to rent one. The house is very spacious, clean and well kept, I'll never stay in a hotel in Hawaii again.

Without a doubt this was the best way for our family to all get together to honor my son's work in getting his engineering degree! There was 10 of us and we were still able to feed everyone at this great house when we wanted too. Everything we needed was there from bedding and towels, dishes and cookware, to snorkling equipment! Hart and Marlene were allways available for info and ideas. They do so much to make this feel like your house. Everything was in good working order and that upstairs bedroom is awesome!! We highly recommend this location as well for being central to almost everything you want to see. People that come to stay must realize that this is not a luxury resort, it is your home away from home!! We will return.

Hale o Lei is wonderful
Review submitted: October 6, 2011 Date of arrival: March 1, 2010
Concerning angelcoach's review: I found the local (maybe illegal) kayak rental folks to be friendly and helpful. They charged $40 for a day, were right next door, and supplied snorkel gear as well. The legal places involve a drive up to the highway, loading the kayaks on your car, driving back down, back up at the end of the day, and are more expensive. Concerning screens and no glass windows: people go to Hawaii to enjoy the ocean breeze at night.
I never saw the first mosquito. And this place is so out of the way there is no traffic at all at night. I can't believe anybody would have trouble sleeping there other than a time zone change. I slept great, especially after enjoying the nice jaquzzi.

Had a few tsunami related bummers…No Jacuzzi, swampy mosquito pond and funky tsunami odor…But it is hard to be bummed for long when you are staying in paradise.
Thank you for such a thoughtful rental…there was nothing that we needed that you have not provided.
Owner response- These guests came 3 days after Kealakekua Bay was hit by the tsunami resulting from the Japanese earthquake. We had the spa taken out, shop move, large trees take out supporting posts of carport, much sand and rocks in house and yard, pond/fountain destroyed, rock walls and gate taken out, much of the vegetation killed, as 2-3 feet of water repeatedly assaulted our home. Fortunately, we did not get totally destroyed as 7 houses in the Bay did. Through working long days and nights we were able to get Hale o Lei habitable, but not perfect. Fortunately, these guests were understanding and enjoyed themselves. Soon thereafter, we replaced the spa, found the last of the fish under the house, and completed structural problems. This gave us the opportunity to plant new vegetation as the salt continued to kill plants for several months.

We rented this home because we were told the kayaking was great. In the printed literature sent to us by the owner, it said the kayak rental was 100' from the property. When we arrived, the business cards for the kayak rental were available in a stack in the living room so we relied on that and gave one of the guys at the rental $200 as a deposit. He disappeared with our money, and the police told us they were not surprised. They had arrested each of them many times on a variety of drug charges & illegal activities. The police informed us that the rental site itself is illegal. We, obviously, did not feel safe in this home being so close to this kind of situation. We also encountered the police our 1st night there because the kitchen window is very close to the house behind this property, and there was some kind of problem there. The red light on top of the police car kept turning and shining in our window for hours. This property is incredibly noisy. The street in front has ceaseless traffic, day & night. There are no windows, just screens, so relief is impossible. So is sleep. The only nice bedroom with a view of the water is in a dwelling detached from the main house and up a flight a stairs. Quite inconvenient. I also got tons of mosquito bites, something that had never been a problem in my past 4 wonderful trips to Hawaii. This may have been due to small pond at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the bedroom. The water was stagnant because it wasn't running all the time. We left after 3 nights and would have left after 2 if we could have gotten a flight out. The plan was for 8 nights, and the owner did refund the balance. They later sent me a check for the $200 from the person who stole it which, of course, bounced.
Owners response:
We are sorry to hear about this complaint, over 6 months after this guest's visit, but we did everything within our power to ensure her enjoyment. Hale o Lei is presented to all incoming guests in a clean and welcoming condition, with a list of instructions for ease of use. During check-in, and throughout a guest's stay, we do everything we can to acquaint them with the island and answer any questions. For this guest, we took this a step further and were available for numerous questions and requests for additional amenities, before and during her visit. Of course, this property, like all listed on VRBO, is not a full-service hotel with concierge, but instead is a rental of a private home, having many other benefits. After it was clear that this guest no longer wanted to stay at Hale o Lei, we gracefully provided a full refund for the remaining days. Again, trying our best to make sure every guest is happy.
As in many popular vacation destinations, it is common to encounter local people that run independent businesses catering to the needs of visitors to the area. We recommend - and did recommend to this guest - two highly regarded and reputable kayak rental companies (this information is also included in the rental information sheet on-site). This guest was aware prior to her visit that the kayak vendors at the kayak launching pier run illegal operations and that we do not recommend them. When this guest arrived, she enlisted the service of a kayak vendor at the pier who was recommended by an acquaintance of hers, and paid him $200, in advance, for a kayak & equipment for 8 days. She was dissatisfied with the lack of services (he did not carry the kayak to and from the water daily and did not reimburse her for unused time). She had the kayak for her use during her visit and left it, unused, for us to deal with, so, we're not sure what she means by "stolen". We take no responsibility for actions of third parties that have no relation to our rental. Nonetheless, in a further attempt to be helpful, we took it upon ourselves to locate the third party and forward the check he wrote to the guest.
Many of the concerns made by this guest were never voiced to us in person, so we will not attempt to answer each one. We hope this guest's comments do not keep you from staying with us, and encourage you to trust in the reviews of our numerous satisfied guests which provide more accurate, balanced depictions of our vacation home. Mahalo!

Great place for kids
Review submitted: September 24, 2011 Date of arrival: August 17, 2011
We really enjoyed our week stay at Hale o Lei. The photos and description are accurate, but don't capture the details, like the large mango tree (with fruit) in the front yard, the numerous geckos, and the full extent of the well-provisioned house. Everything we needed (and more) was available. When one of our kids got a scrape, there were even band-aids available for use.
The location is very convenient for activities around Kealakekua bay and we made the trip accross the lava field to the City of Refuge and two-step beach several times. I enjoyed getting up with the locals in the morning, making a pot of coffee and walking to the end of the street to see if the spinner dolphin were in the bay (2 our of our 6 days). We learned that the dolphin are unpredictable so if you they happen to be in the bay on a day you were planning to do something else, change your plans and go kayak and swim with the dolphin.
Sunsets were awesome and it was so nice to be able to walk accross the street for an unobstructed view, and then return and eat dinner out on the lanai. When clear, the night sky is amazing and watching the stars from the hot tub is a real treat.
There is beach equipment galore at the house, ice chests and even a large ice pack in the freezer. Our kids had a great time playing in the yard and we pretty much lived in the outside living areas. The lack of glass windows takes a little getting used too and we had a bit of a noisy neighbor in the back a couple of nights. We slept in the front rooms and the noise either at night or in the morning wasn't an issue for us.
Hart was very responsive and called the first morning to make sure we had everything we needed. We had such a good time we wanted to prolong our stay a bit and make one last swim in the bay (a family snorkel from the boat launch accross to Mainini Beach). I emailed Hart to see if a late check-out was possible. He called within 5 minutes to let us know that a late checkout wouldn't be a problem.
We were sad to leave and have very fond memories of our week at Halle o Lei.
Owners response: We just planted more passion fruit, papayas, and pineapples for guests when in season. Also talked to the neighbor so she is more aware of noise. Fortunately, there are vacant lots on both sides of Hale o Lei. Hope Jim and his family come back soon!

Best Bet at Kealakekua Bay!
Review submitted: September 21, 2011 Date of arrival: September 21, 2011
I have been visiting Kealakekua Bay for eight years and facilitate customized private trips for individuals and families exclusively in this area.
I have stayed in this home several times, and referred many other visitors to stay here as well. Most people on this site want to have a 'home' not a hotel experience... and that is what you will get. And, this is the REAL Hawaii. Raw island wilderness abounds. Hawaiians that trace their families back to the days of the Ali'i (royal families) live in this neighborhood. Best snorkeling in the islands just down the road and on the other side of the bay in front of the house. The house itself has everything you'll need and is clean and comfy. Hart and Marlene are wonderful and gracious hosts who will answer any of your questions.
This home is located right in the heart of the local village and right across the street from where kayaks enter and exit the pristine bay to paddle amongst dolphins and whales and access some of the most proliferate and healthy reefs in the islands.
For me, it is Paradise. And if you are looking to be close to the water and in a sweet home renting at a great price, this is your best bet at Kealakekua Bay.

Hale O Lei, how I love thee
Review submitted: December 7, 2010 Date of arrival: December 1, 2010
Let me count the ways! First off location. It sits between Captain Cook monument, which you can see if you cross the road and Two Step/Place of Refuge, which are about 4 miles apart. If you're there to kayak and/or snorkel, this is it. The kayak launch is literally across the street and a few houses over. You can rent Kayaks right there! A practice that is somewhat discouraged by local law enforcement, because you rent from locals that aren't paying taxes and don't have a storefront for their operation. But it's a legit operation in that they are there every day, live down the street, are friendly, and after getting to know them personally, got a better deal on a kayak (that they also let me keep overnight for free to use the next morning) and they took all the extra food/beer in the house that they either ate or gave to needy locals when we left. Locals, as a community, aren't friendly everywhere but they were here. There is a definite community feel to the place, as you meet people every morning down the street in the daily pilgrimage to see if the Spinner dolphins spent the night in the bay. They often do, and people love to go out and swim with them, I saw as many as 15 people out there swimming amongst them. Something else the state obviously discourages. Also, I kayaked from Capt. Cook Mon. to Two Step, which was beautiful along the rugged coastline. Nearly had the ocean to myself, well, me and the flying fish.
The house. Awesome outdoor lanais with multiple ceiling fans, couches, an eating table. A dual concrete barbecue pit. That's right, side by side barbecue grills. As someone that loves to cook and cooks often, I love this house. Ample pots and pans, a real sashimi knife!, rice cooker, and the only house I've ever rented in Hawaii (7 or 8?) with a gas range, 4 burner of course....Can't comment on the outdoor Jacuzzi, didn't use it, the ocean and good snorkeling were across the street. There were no glass windows in the place, all screens all the time. That's an indication of how nice and warm the weather is.
All in all, I'd definitely recommend it and will probably return again for the snorkeling, kayaking, and the gas range. The sunsets weren't too shabby either. Not to mention tons of snorkeling gear, baby toys, boogie boards, a toddler bed, a pack n play, yada yada yada.......

Spring Break 2010 Family Vacation
Review submitted: March 29, 2010 Date of arrival: March 12, 2010
We had an awesome time in Hawaii! The house really was well suited for us. There were 2 families/9 people that stayed in the house. The house wasn't newly remodeled like we intrepretted the pictures to be, but was very clean and had all of the amenitites necessary for a comfortable stay. Our kids loved the basketball court!!! Hart & Marlene called 2x to make sure we had everything that we needed and attended promptly to our needs, whichis extremely important to us when renting a home.
The only draw back, was the early morning noise. Because the house is on a corner near the Kayak launching pier and does not have glass windows (only screens in the windows), there is quite a bit of road noise that begins pretty early in the morning, soon after the road noise arrives, the sprinkler system turns on and is pretty loud (hitting the house and bushes)and it turns back on in the evening as well most days. I think it came on 5 of the 8 days we were there. One more thing, you can set your watch by the neighbor using a leaf blower to blow the leaves off his driveway every morning at 8am. The flip side of this is, when the sprinklers are not on, you can hear the ocean!! We eventually got used to the noises :) I think if there had been glass panes/glass windows, we wouldn't have noticed any noises. Strangely, the house felt very private (due to the surrounding foilage/trees) even with all of the noises.
We felt like it was a great house for the price and to us, it was important to have attentive "home owners" nearby in case we needed anything. There are not a lot of beaches nearby and snorkeling off the pier is not recommended, it is a very busy place and not easy to get in and out of the water. I would recommend this house to families who do not mind driving to beaches, we packed a cooler daily and set out for a new beach. We spent the majority of our time at various beaches/shopping around Keauhou Bay which is about 30-45 minutes north.
Thank you Hart & Marlene, for providing a wonderful house for our family to enjoy!

Hale o Lei is very comfortable and has everything I need....even things like laundry detergent, shish kebab skewers, spices, plastic wrap and all of the little things that you need. There are masks, snorkels, fins, a grill,- it's just like being at home. There's a lovely view of Kealekekua Bay and you can hear the waves at night. Next year I'm bringing a whole training group of athletes with me.
The owners even left two delicious papayas on the table for me when I arrived. I feel right at home and don't feel like I have to walk around on eggshells worrying about don't touch this don't touch that.
Next year I'm bringing a whole training group of athletes with me.

This house, its location, the master suite - all conspired to be a magical spot and a perfect place for our snorkeling, paddling, hiking, and wandering. Our vacation was truly wonderful and, Hart, thanks for the snorkel cruise tickets - the trip was a highlight of our visit!

Our annual stay at Hale O Lei has become a family tradition. (We're trying to make it semi-annual!) We can't remember how many times we have moved into our favorite home. The upstairs balcony, the outside living room, the inside living room - oh heck, the whole place is this family's "happy place." The only reason I don't cry TOO much when we leave, is that we are usually on our way to Hale Ehu Kai on the other side, AND I know we will be back. Hart & Marlene, Mahalo!

Hale O Lei is a family tradition - how many times have we been now, Hart & Marlene? The only thing that makes it possible to leave is knowing we will come back. The house is the home we want, in the setting we love and that upstairs balcony with the ocean view, the outside living room - these are our special "happy places." Mahalo!

Aloha! You have done a wonderful job making Hale o Lei a home away from home. The neighbors are amazing, especially when they are spinning & doing backflips with you in the water! Mahalo Marlene & Hart. I'm glad I found you & Hale o Lei.

Hart and Marlene- What a wonderful house. We'll be recommending this to our friends & family. Mahalo! Peggy
Out of Flagstaff, AZ & Santa Rosa CA. We took plenty of advantage of the Hale o Lei-supplied snorkel geat at Napo'opo'o, Manini, Pu'uhonua, and Keei. Dining nightly on the lanai, breakfasting on malasadas while lounging about the kitchen area. It felt like home, but better because we weren't leaving each morning for work and the beaches with their fishes extraordinaire were so close. Mahalo, Hart & Marlene-- Heather

We has such a wonderful vacation. Thanks again for the ball you brought over for my grandson to play with. This was the perfect place to bring a multi-age group. We plan on bringing a bigger group next time, hopefully next year. The house was very versatile with seating areas in several areas. You have everyting from fabulous kitchen stuff, to terrific bath towels, and wonderful beach equipment. My grandson loved the big boogie board with the view port. We didn't have to rent anything. Woke up at 6am our last day to make another snorkel trip out at "Two Step" before we head to the airport. Hale o Lei was a lovely place to call home for a few (too few!) days.

Small Red Warm Clothing
Women's Irish Aran Turtleneck Sweater
(Based on 8 reviews)
Category: Clothing/Women's Clothing/Sweaters
For hundreds of years, women in the rural villages of the Aran Islands off the western coast of Ireland have knit natural wool sweaters for their fisherman kin. Although the myth that you can identify island families by the stiches in their sweaterlike a Scottish tartanisn't true, every knitter does have her own special patterns, passed down through generations of mothers and grandmothers. At weekly gatherings, they continually invented intricate new stitches.
Available colors: Black, Natural, Red
Available sizes: Small, Medium, Large, XLarge, XXLarge
Irish Aran Belted Sweater Jacket
(Based on 3 reviews)
Category: Clothing/Women's Clothing/Sweaters
For more than a century, knitters on Ireland's rugged Aran islands have been developing the intricate stitches for which their sweaters are known. This belted cardigan mixes today's style with time-honored handcrafted technique in a cable and trellis pattern.
Available colors: Grey, Natural, Red
Available sizes: Small, Medium, Large, XLarge, XXLarge
Women's Merino Wool Irish Cardigan
(Based on 24 reviews)
Category: Clothing/Women's Clothing/Sweaters
This cozy merino wool sweater is a virtual sampler of Irish Aran knitting patterns. Each pattern symbolizes an aspect of local fishing culture: Celtic rope for Irish pride; fisherman's cable for safety on the waters; basket stitch for a plentiful catch; and diamond, the shape of a fishing net, for success. The warm wool is renowned for its extremely soft hand, providing warmth and comfort without the itch of lower-quality fibers.
Available colors: Black, Oatmeal, Red
Available sizes: Small, Medium, Large, XLarge, XXLarge
Travel Slipper Socks
(Based on 6 reviews)
Category: Clothing/Footwear/Men's Footwear
Originally developed for camping in the Maine woods, these wool-blend slipper socks are so comfortable that Sherpa guides on Mount Everest now pack them for base camp. Delivering lightweight warmth, they're perfect footwear no matter where your travels take you. A memory-foam layer tops EVA insoles for support and cushioning. Leather sidewalls and outsoles are durable enough to wear at a campsite, but soft enough for indoor wear.
Available colors: Oatmeal, Red
Available sizes: XXSmall, XSmall, Small, Medium, Large, XLarge

:: Home > Around the World > Boy Crucified On Balcony To Punish Him
© europics.at
26. 06. 14. - 15:00
26. 06. 14. - 15:00
Police in Mexico are probing a case of horrific child abuse in which a young boy was tied to the iron railings of a balcony.
Horrified neighbours of the child took photos of him and shared them on social networking sites, prompting police to raid the family home.
The plight of the boy is just the latest in a series of child abuse scandals that has rocked Mexico.
The boy was rescued from his home in the town of Xalapa, in the southeast Mexican province of Veracruz. One of the neighbours, Mariza Guerrero, 55, took the pictures and when interviewed later after they went viral, told local media: "It was a very creepy situation because it was horrible to see a little boy tied hands and foot with scarves to the window of the house".
According to the neighbours, the boy's mother roped him up with the consent of the father who had watched. Mrs. Guerrero said the family has four children aged 13, 10, four and two years old.
Police are probing whether or not there was any ritual aspect to the tying up of the boy because the family are known to be strict Christians.
The head of Social Communication in Veracruz, Alberto Silva Ramos, shared the photos on his Twitter profile and said: "The authorities are investigating this horrible act in order to punish the guilty parties. Such things must not be allowed to occur in modern-day Mexico."
Mexican authorities have refused to release the name of the family to respect the boy's privacy.
In May a grandmother tied her grandson with adhesive tape and shared his pictures on social networks because the boy was "irritating" her. The woman, named Olga Lidia Zavala Arias, was arrested.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- It's getting more expensive to live on Indiana University's Bloomington campus.
Starting in the fall, the school's most popular housing package will rise to just over $9,000 -- a 3.5 percent increase.
Nearly two-thirds of IU students living on campus choose that option, which includes an air-conditioned, double occupancy room in a mid-amenity residence hall with a standard meal plan.
Other apartments and residence halls will see as little as a half-percent increase, to as much as five percent, depending on the housing accommodations.

"Thank You for helping to make this Christmas one of our best in years! We had almost decided against any Christmas Card - let along a personalized one - but then we came across your on-line site and took the opportunity! You delivered a beautiful card (almost prettier than the sample) and it was delivered to our mail box - quickly, safely and in perfect condition. Our friends and family responded with much warmth and happiness ! Again, Thank You!"
"I thought the design and pictures turned out great and although I was expecting the card to be on photo paper, not on cardboard like material, it was still very nice and held up better than if it were on the photo paper! Everyone that received a card complimented on how nice they were!"
"Loved the color selection and the quality of the printed product. The delivery was faster than expected and I live in Canada so I was pleasantly surprised at how soon I received my order!"
"This was our first time using Tiny Prints and now I'm sure it won't be the last. Extremely timely but still with excellent quality. I am beyond pleased and so happy I decided to use your company!"
"I was surprised and pleased to receive the cards in the mail and find that they were on a thick card stock rather than flimsy photo paper. I loved the different options for effects that could be added to our photograph, we chose the vintage style and it looks awesome! I also appreciated that they offered to have a professional screen/edit the card- I did not choose this option since I was ordering late, but next year will take advantage of that offer since it is free."

The following ( in no particular order ) are our selections as the top muscle building exercises in history.

Alright, so I've been trolling around here for a while, but never had a decent post. Finally I've got a question worth its while. What is the craziest thing you've done for a summit pic, or craziest thing you've seen done.
I saw a Adolf Oliver Nipel signature at a summit registry once. But that's just more pathetic than crazy.
Cleo's Needle Take a look at that photo. That's some shenanigans.
4 locos at 14,000 plus feet? Shit yeah.
Ten years ago my partner and I topped out on Devils Tower. He went to remove his shoes and sat down. Unfortunately, he sat down directly on a cactus. He immediately dropped his pants and began picking out the pricks. He got most of them out except for a few around his taint. This is where I came in. He bent over and spread his cheeks and I had to pull out the remaining pricks while another group of climbers topped out and wondered what we were doing!
On Castleton Tower.
Sex on top of Crestone Needle & Mt. Sneffels. I've got a great wife!
The "I dropped the ropes!" shenanigan. You top out a tower, get untied. Flop the ropes while your partner's looking fairly close to the edge. Walk around, take some pics, and casually slide the ropes under a rock/otherwise hide them. Then wait for the fun to begin as you shout: "Oh, shit, the ropes are gone!"
I once got buzzed by a Jet fighter on top of Waves in the Rushmore area of the Black Hills while smoking a J over the 4th of july.
haven't got pictures but played a game of croquet on top of devil's tower
My favorite story is of Ari Menitove and friends hauling a grill up to the top of castleton and barbecuing burgers for everyone on top
I was gonna swing around a lasso too, but lost the nerve once I got on top and realized just how I'd fall and swing back into the spire if the single many bolt actually held. I was tempted to find a tall Dr. Seuss hat for the summit of Ancient Art, but alas I couldn't find one in time.
Thizzin' on Longs
That video is great!
LSD + Tiny Summit Bivy with Tarp + Lightning Storm + Case of Bud Light = No retreat, just keep it together, bro

Hey All, I was hiking the other day and found what looked like a pretty solid place to put up some routes. Seeing how it seems that almost everything has been developed in the Wasatch, I was wondering if anyone had any info on this spot. Location: Trails start behind the LDS church on the east side of Wasatch at approximately 11540 S and Wasatch in Draper. Head north on bonneville shoreline, go past saw tooth trailhead, and go almost to the end of the trail. Crag is on the right. Any ideas/route info/ ticks? Thanks, Dave
Great climbing there but unfortunately there are (or were?) access issues. We were thwarted by a rent-a-cop in a golf cart the last time we tried to go there last summer. All the routes are documented in the Ruckman guides and there is a little info here: www.mountainproject.com/v/twilight-buttress/105739769 I believe this is the company restricting access: www.waterpro.net/
Thanks Stan for the quick response! I saw the gate when I was hiking around that area but wasn't sure about the access restriction. Great info!

The ideology behind nucleus roots was to create a studio resource for the abundant and obvious talent already existing in Manchester. The studio focused on reggae, as the studio grew, so did the catalogue of artists, arrangements and songs. The nucleus roots studio then created a platform for the artists in the form of the ''nucleus roots band'' The Band was established in 1996 from the ashes of Manchester's highly acclaimed punky reggae band, Community Charge. In the early days nucleus roots was a ten piece reggae band featuring some of the most respected musicians playing on the Uk circuit.

As expected, the Miami Marlins will open up the season on the road against Stephen Strasburg and the Washington Nationals on April 1. Here is my proposed line up for Opening Day:
1. LF Juan Pierre
2. 2B Chone Figgins
3. RF Giancarlo Stanton
4. 1B Joe Mahoney
5. CF Justin Ruggiano
6. C Rob Brantly
7. 3B Placido Polanco
8. SS Adeiny Hechavarria
You get a favorable lefty, switch, righty, lefty, righty, lefty, two righties line up to hopefully that will throw off Strasburg. Plus, you get speed in front of Stanton in the form of Pierre and Figgins. Catcher Brantly and infielder Polanco will do their thing at the bottom of the line up making the opposing pitcher work for everything with their patience. Lastly, I am hopeful Mahoney and Ruggiano can protect Stanton in this order since they can both hit for power. I understand two players are missing here (I am thinking LoMo will not be ready for Opening Day, and Donovan Solano will come off the bench). Either way, please give me your thoughts on my prediction for the April 1 initial batting order. And as always, go Fish!
- Former Marlins pitcher Carlos Zambrano took to the hill Tuesday night against his former team. He is pitching for Team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic. Zambrano is still a free agent. His teammates say he will get signed by a major league team after the tournament. We'll see.
- So Mark Teixeira witnessed what so many of us have witnessed here locally: a Giancarlo Stanton live batting practice. Here is what Mark said following the display: 'I've never seen anything like it." Read more here.
- Kolby Copeland, a Minor League outfield prospect for the Marlins, received a 50-game suspension on Tuesday for refusing to take an offseason drug test. He is currently in Low-A.
- Marlins manager Mike Redmond remembers the impact a young Miguel Cabrera had on the team when he was first called up. "Obviously he and Dontrelle energized our team. We don't go to the playoffs without those two guys. I know Miggy, coming up, he got a lot of big hits for us." Redmond was his teammate in 2003. And you remember how that season ended up for the Fish.
- Read a little more about super prospect Jake Marisnick this week. He was shocked when he received the call that he was traded to the Marlins. Nevertheless, he has played very well in Spring Training. Including a making a super defensive play in center field.
- Jacob Turner looked a lot better the second time around against the New York Mets on Tuesday. Pitching coach Chuck Hernandez was pleased. Remember that Turner did not make it out of the first inning in his first start.
Around The League - Mark Teixeira is out of the World Baseball Classic with a right wrist strain. Teixeira was supposed to be the starting first baseman for team USA. Ben Zobrist replaced him in the lineup.
- Aramis Ramirez was happy with the result of a recent MRI on his knee. There is no structural damage. However, he will be out some time recovering while his knee gets stronger.
- Mariano Rivera could pitch on Wednesday for the New York Yankees for the first time since May when he got injured. The 43-year-old closer is taking it easy this spring. Read more here.
At Fish Stripes
- The Fish Stripes Miami Marlins Season Preview is here for 2013. Read up on all the good things happening at our loyal site.
- Here are some important numbers entering the 2013 season for the Miami Marlins. This specific version only relates to the team's starting players. Either way, where else could you get good information about your favorite team?
- Likewise, here are some important 2013 numbers for Miami Marlins pitchers. Included is Ricky Nolasco and Steve Cishek.
- Mr. Jong previews the catcher position for the 2013 Miami Marlins. There is a clear cut starter (Rob Brantly). There is even a backup (Jeff Mathis). What there is not much of is in the minor leagues is depth (unless Kyle Skipworth is ready to prove his worth).

Hello and welcome to Midwifery Today's
newest blog. My name is Donna Dolezal Zelzer and I've been the Marketing
Director at Midwifery Today since 1993. I love my job - marketing is
fun and it's great to be able to promote something I really believe in.
Plus, I work with a great bunch of people!
What I plan to do in this blog is
write about some of the products Midwifery Today carries and some of the
things we do. And sometimes just about birth and midwifery in general.
I'll be writing from a personal point of view - because I
read or heard something that moved me, or angered me or inspired me.
will be from the point of view of a parent and grandparent (I have one
and two granddaughters) who cares
about birth, but who is not a birth professional or otherwise heavily into birth. From
time to time, other Midwifery
Today staff members will also be posting here. (At least, I hope I can
talk them into it!)

UPDATE: Pleasanton Middle School investigated for compromised testing practices

Based upon the information contained in Ms. Atwood's article, the decision of the CDE strikes me as arbitrary and perhaps even capricious. This is just my personal opinion. I think an appeal is in order.

Parent volunteers have witnessed teacher cheating in the past. When it was brought to the administrators attention it was clear there was a, "look the other way attitude".
These tests are high stakes to the districts, so shhhh don't tell anyone.
on Sep 4, 2007 at 8:00 pm
Maybe the real issue is the weight placed on these tests... How can the success or failure of a school or teacher be measured by a series of tests over a three or four day period??? Most of the testing sites and the CDE offer "released" test questions anyway. As a teacher, I myself have looked at these tests and wondered where the questions came from... Certainly not from the standards...
on Sep 5, 2007 at 4:30 pm
If the District doesn't appeal this ruling, it will show that they have no backbone. Any one can see that this ruling by the state holds no water as there is no evidence of wrong doing by PMS. If any school should be punished, it should be Hart Middle where the teacher who copied the exam instructs.
It is like a case of arresting a suspect because they just look suspicious.
The community should tell the School Board that they need to appeal this ruling since the good name of Pleasanton is at stake.
on Sep 10, 2007 at 7:04 pm
Maybe its not the students or teachers the cheating teachers are trying to cover for, perhaps its because the schools get STATE & FEDERAL FUNDING for higher test scores and they want people to believe their schools are prestigous and somehow better than others and not just mediocre. Still, cheating is WRONG and teachers should get a failing grade for their misconduct and poor example to the students.
on Sep 11, 2007 at 9:07 am
It doesn't seem fair to me that only Pleasanton Middle School was penalized. Since the other two schools were not, I think PMS should absolutely appeal the decision.

On Friday students throughout the country will take part in the biggest reading day of the year.
Read Across America Day focuses on getting students to enjoy picking up books beyond just the classroom.
Hundreds of volunteers will go into schools throughout Southwest and Central Virginia to participate in the annual event, including our very own Storm Team 10 meteorologists Patrick McKee and Jeff Haniewich.
At Green Valley Elementary School in Roanoke County kids are dressing up as there favorite Dr. Seuss characters to celebrate the big day.
"I think bringing people out from the community and into the school shows kids that reading is a cool thing to do," said Green Valley Elementary Assistant Principal Ashley Williams. "(The students) view reading as a positive thing and not taking a test. They view reading as something fun to do."
Read Across America Day is held every year in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday which is March 2.

I received many accolades from our readers, not only for my column last week but also for our editorial stance and coverage. The parking war erupted several weeks ago when a landowner cordoned off her parking lot at the corner of 20th Street and 2nd Ave, blocking 37 much-needed parking spaces for county employees, and downtown employees and consumers.
Although I have volleyed my share of criticism toward our City and County officials, I, too, recognize times when their actions should be applauded.
Such was the case during the city council's work session Thursday. With County Commission Chair Billy Luster in attendance, both sides worked in unison as they debated ways to improve downtown parking.
While no official action can occur at a work session, I left the meeting optimistic that both the City and County are doing their share to alleviate the parking woes. Ultimately, it looks like 2nd Ave. and 3rd Ave. could become one-way streets adjacent the courthouse complex by this summer.
Parking along the one-way streets would become diagonal, rather then parallel, thus creating 40 additional parking spaces.
In the meantime, additional handicapped parking spaces will be created in the alley near the back entrance to the courthouse soon, according to Luster.
It does not seem to be in the equation, but the condemned Sherers Auditorium site would seem to be a good location for a fee-based parking complex in the future. But I realize it holds tremendous sentimental value for a lot of good folks here in Walker County.
Additionally Thursday, the City Council appeared to throw its full support to a $1.7 million incentive plan that should seal the deal with a local developer who want to bring several big box retailers to Jasper … and soon!
Robert Jolly of Birmingham-based Retail Specialists – hired by the Chamber addressed council members during their work session. He said the developer is ready to finalize the deal, but requires the $1.7 million incentive package rather than $1.5 million as previously offered by the City.
I believe everyone in attendance Thursday understood that such a retail development justifies the additional $200,000 pledge. I am optimistic the City will approve the increased incentive plan at its regularly scheduled council meeting Tuesday.
I am certain that Walker County consumers will be excited when this multi-million-dollar retail development plan and its tenants are announced — hopefully sooner rather than later.
