In these circumstances, either/or isn't cutting it. We need a different way to think.
Our love is not bad. Our love is not destroying the world. The most significant threat to the family is failure to recognize all families. If the Pope truly wants to reach out to the marginalized, he should truly open his arms to everyone.
An incident recently occurred at Mt. Holyoke College where I wish there had been some wisdom imparted to the students, who acted impetuously and, unfortunately, embarrassed themselves and their cause.
The V-Day movement and Eve's play continue to evolve and respond to issues of the day, and our work with the movement was meant to be the start of a conversation about including sex and gender minorities. We encourage you to join us in working together to eliminate violence against all women and girls.
If you are ever in doubt about whether to ask some burning question, first ask yourself if you would pose the same question about the body of a non-trans youth or adult, perhaps your own child or a student or neighbor. If the answer is no, don't ask. If you find yourself biting your tongue, keep biting.
When kids come home from school feeling unwanted, they should be able to come home feeling accepted for who they are. This tragedy should not have happened, but because it has, parents should be more aware of their kids' feelings.
"So what does 'transgender' mean, exactly?" Repeating the explanation to one man after another in the dating world wearied me to the point where I started sending guys to the Wikipedia page for Transgender.
This week's episode covers discrimination against LGBTI people in Uganda. Cleo is invited to a secret meeting with the Ugandan government to prove that she's real. In the episode I search for an answer to the question of why it's so hard for people to accept anything that doesn't fit into society's norms.
How fitting it is that God's best gift to me in my ministerial life as a Catholic sister is now, at the end. I am 71 years old and have had the privilege and joy of being present among the transgender community since 1999.
Jeffrey Tambor made a great point this last Sunday -- representation matters. That's also why the ACA matters, and will continue to matter, for trans young adults looking for an affordable path to a healthier life.
Few issues have been more divisive within the church of the 20th and 21st century than the "full acceptance of LGBT Christians in the Church."
For parents of kids who are transgender, gender education alone isn't going to provide that reassurance. What I think would really help are more everyday success stories -- people who can show trans kids, their parents and society as a whole that being transgender doesn't have to forever define you (unless you want it to).
The same mindset that marks trans people as unfit to share and depict their own stories comes from the same place as the invalidation that causes us to experience discrimination and self-loathing on so many other levels. Seeing your true self in media is important and can save lives.
The right is pushing hard on talking points claiming that transgender teens need to be pushed into (religious) "therapy" that no reputable, licensed mental-health professional would provide. Their rationales are riddled with half-truths, logical fallacies, and outright lies. Here are the facts.
This needs to end now. Those of us with the resources to fight in any way need to continue to stand up to those who are actively working to see more trans people dead, and we need to be absolutely present with those trans people who, at any given moment, may have fewer emotional or material resources than we do.
I'm not saying my religious beliefs are the way for everyone to live or believe. But neither are yours. In fact, they are not truly universal religious beliefs but your personal beliefs. And that's OK. But you don't get to impose those on everyone else to prevent them from living, working, and loving with the same freedom that you are afforded by virtue of who you are.

Proenza Schouler Capsule Collection on Net-a-Porter
Surf's Up: Shop Proenza Schouler's Exclusive Capsule With Net-a-Porter
Today marks the debut of Proenza Schouler's exclusive capsule collection with Net-a-Porter.com — the first time designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez have designed a limited-edition line under their brand specifically for one retailer. (Their much-beloved collaboration with Target's Go International program was sold both at Target and Opening Ceremony.)
The nine-piece collection the two created for Net-a-Porter.com — which includes miniskirts, a t-shirt, a sweater, and shorts, among other items — is based on some of the bestselling pieces from past Pre-Spring collections, but the styling takes cues from surfing. The offering includes a pair of leather board shorts, a tweed pullover with a drawstring hood, and a cotton jacket printed with an aqua-and-black print that, from far away, looks like a very geometric exercise in tie-dyeing.
Get a look at all the pieces here in the gallery.

I bought this table because of price, color and because the description stated "durable hardwood construction". The set was purchased for my kitchen which I was trying to match my oak cabinets but the set is a reddish wood color like that of maple which doesn't match and the table top is made of a soft wood so that it marks each time it is used.

If it wasn't for the bizarre nature of the outfit, you wouldn't be able to tell it's Lady Gaga as she left a hospital completely covered in New York City on Saturday (April 5).
The "Paparazzi" singer wore a long, colorful maxi dress with a black face mask and shades as she headed outside.
Preparing for another night at the Roseland Ballroom, Lady Gaga gave photographer Terry Richardson some backstage access on Friday night (April 4).
The famous shutterbug shared the behind the scenes shots of the "Poker Face" songstress preparing for her Big Apple show on his website.

The "Born This Way" singer donned a multicolored blouse, purple blazer, and purple leather pants with her big yellow hair as she headed inside for show #5 of 7 at the venue.

Mother Monster invited MTV News' Sway to take a tour of her pad, though she made sure to mention that she's not the actual owner.

Tracy Morgan Sues Walmart Over Deadly Crash
UPDATED: The company says it is "committed to doing the right thing for all involved."
Tracy Morgan is suing Walmart over a New Jersey Turnpike accident that left one person dead and several people hospitalized, including the 30 Rock actor.
Walmart driver Kevin Roper allegedly plowed into a limousine van carrying Morgan on June 7. Morgan and others injured in the accident allege negligence on Walmart's part in a lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in New Jersey.
"Walmart was careless and negligent in the ownership and operation of its motor vehicle, which caused Mr. Morgan to suffer severe personal injuries," the complaint reads. "As a direct and proximate result of said collision, Mr. Morgan was caused to sustain severe painful bodily injuries, including but not limited to multiple fractures which required multiple surgeries, extensive medical treatment and will require significant physical rehabilitation."
PHOTOS Summer TV Preview
Plaintiffs include Morgan's assistant, Jeffrey Millea, his wife Krista Millea and comedian Ardie Fuqua. The plaintiffs are suing for negligence. In addition, Krista Millea is suing for loss of consortium.
They are seeking compensatory and statutory damages, punitive damages, legal fees, as well as pre- and post judgment interest, among other things at a trial by jury.
Walmart expressed its sorrow over the accident in a statement, particularly over the death of comedian James McNair, who was a passenger in Morgan's vehicle,
"This has been a terrible tragedy. We wish Mr. Morgan, Mr. Fuqua Jr., and Mr. Millea full recoveries," the statement reads. "Our thoughts continue to go out to them, their families and friends, as well as to the families and friends of everyone involved, including Mr. McNair, who lost his life. We are deeply sorry that one of our trucks was involved. As we've said, we're cooperating fully in the ongoing investigation. We know it will take some time to resolve all of the remaining issues as a result of the accident, but we're committed to doing the right thing for all involved."
PHOTOS Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films
The suit alleges that Roper was fatigued when the accident occurred and that "Walmart knew or should have known" that he had been "awake for more than 24 consecutive hours" ahead of the crash. According to the suit, Roper had commuted 700 miles from his home in Jonesboro, Ga., to a Walmart facility in Smyrna, Del., before beginning his shift.
"Additionally, there were many Walmart distribution facilities closer to Mr. Roper's home — including nine in Georgia alone — which would have significantly reduced Mr. Roper's commute to work," the suit reads.
PHOTOS '30 Rock': Behind the Scenes
It says Walmart either "knew or should have known" that it was "unreasonable" for Roper to drive 700 miles before his shift. The suit also alleges Roper fell asleep at the wheel immediately before the crash as a result of his fatigue. It goes on to say Walmart turns a blind eye to workers who break regulations regarding shift limits set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
"Walmart not only failed to condemn, but condoned this practice of its drivers routinely violating the F.M.S.C.A. Regulations," the suit reads.
Roper was going 65 mph in a 45-mph zone just before the accident, according to a National Transportation Safety Board report. Roper has plead not guilty to death by auto and assault by auto charges.
Morgan left the hospital on June 20 and was moved to a rehabilitation facility. On Saturday, Morgan's publicist Lewis Kay said that the actor "has been released from the rehabilitation center and will continue his recovery efforts at home with an aggressive outpatient program. He asked me to pass along his sincerest gratitude to everyone who has helped him get to this point."

Shoal Creek to host U.S. Women's Open in 2018
Far Hills, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - The United States Golf Association announced Tuesday Shoal Creek has been selected to host the 2018 U.S. Women's Open Championship.
This will be the third USGA championship contested at Shoal Creek, as the course also hosted the 1986 U.S. Amateur Championship and the 2008 U.S. Junior Amateur.
Shoal Creek, which is located near Birmingham, Alabama, has also played host to the 1984 and 1990 PGA Championships, as well as hosting the Regions Tradition, a major on the Champions Tour, since 2011.
"Shoal Creek has a great track record as a championship site and the USGA is quite pleased to partner with the club for a U.S. Women's Open," USGA vice president and chairman of the Championship Committee Daniel B. Burton said. "We regard Shoal Creek as a wonderful test of golf and are confident it will again shine as a competitive venue for a USGA national championship."
The 2018 U.S. Women's Open will be contested from May 31-June 3.
The USGA also announced Tuesday the U.S. Women's Open will move to a date prior to the U.S. Open starting in 2018.
The U.S. Women's Open has been held before to the U.S. Open only three times in it's 69-year history, in 1996, 1999 and 2001.
"Conducting the U.S. Women's Open earlier in the year will allow the USGA to provide optimum playing conditions for the world's best players across a broader variety of the country's finest golf courses," Burton said.
The 2014 edition of the U.S. Women's Open will take place at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club in the Village of Pinehurst, North Carolina, from June 19-22, which is the week immediately following the U.S. Open at the same location.

SACOSAN gave new momentum to the sanitation sector and many countries have made exemplary efforts to meet the commitments made in the Declaration. Governments in India and Bangladesh have launched national level sanitation programmes and increased budget allocations to sanitation; in Nepal the Government has drafted national sanitation and hygiene guidelines; in Bangladesh a national sanitation strategy has been approved; and in all three countries innovative approaches are being adopted by governments, for example awards for sanitised communities.1 Yet if the vision of a South Asia WaterAid/ Caroline Penn free of open defecation and with people living in dignity is to 1 Examples for this paper are taken only from Bangladesh, India and Nepal. 2 become a reality, governments need to take a number of actions in response to key emerging issues: 1. National sanitation programmes must be refocused to reach the poorest and most vulnerable people and address the needs of women, children and disabled people. These programmes should be implemented by local governments and NGOs and citizens should be made aware of their entitlements from the programmes. 2.

In Nepal two-thirds and our recommendations to of districts have sanitation governments are outlined below. coverage below the national average and these are the poorest and most inaccessible districts (WaterAid Nepal, 2004). In India the Governments Total Sanitation Campaign provides subsidised latrines to poor households. Yet due to limited participation of communities in decisions over which households should receive subsidised latrines, and lack of information about the campaign in remote villages, many poor and vulnerable households are not covered by the campaign. In Bangladesh, drawing experiences from other public subsidy programmes, there is concern that subsidies provided by national programmes through local government institutions are WaterAid/ Anita Pradhan not always reaching the poorest. 4 WaterAid and partners have been researching and highlighting this issue by publishing comparisons of district sanitation There are various reasons why this coverage and raising concerns of is happening. Some are related to subsidy leakage with governments. geography: latrine components are We are working with the private expensive in remote areas and there sector to establish sanitation remains a lack of technical production centres in remote areas, sanitation options for the poor and making materials available at vulnerable living in difficult affordable prices.

And others options. are institutional: local government institutions are inexperienced at We have also initiated a series of managing large scale, pro-poor Citizens Action projects across the sanitation programmes. Yet the region, working with communities to outcome is the same everywhere, achieve accountability in the everyday: the poor face the indignity provision of water and sanitation of open defecation. services. In these projects people learn about their rights, entitlements and responsibilities under various government water and sanitation programmes, research and map their current access to sanitation and then engage with service providers in a dialogue to secure improved service provision. Governments need to conduct reviews, in consultation with all stakeholders, to find out whether national sanitation programmes are actually reaching the poorest. Then governments need to establish, implement and evaluate improved mechanisms for reaching the poorest. Where possible these programmes should be implemented by local governments, strengthening their capacity in the process. Government funding should also be provided for NGOs to support local government in delivering sanitation services. All citizens need to be made aware of their entitlements under these programmes. 5 Governments are not ready to address the looming urban sanitation crisis R apid urbanisation across South Asia is putting a strain on urban sanitation systems. In many towns and cities piped sewerage systems do not even exist. Where they do exist connectivity is generally low and the poor and vulnerable are not connected. One in three city dwellers lives in slum areas and the number of slum dwellers in South Asia has increased by a quarter over the last decade (United Nations, 2005). Slums are very rarely connected to city sanitation infrastructure and the sanitation situation is deplorable. Official data on sanitation is WaterAid/ Liba Taylor generally insufficient and unreliable, and that for urban areas is worse. This means that the actual status of sanitation in and sanitation and plans on how generate adequate funds towns and cities in the region is services will be provided to people themselves, nor access financing, not known. Where some data are living in slums. New national to address their sanitation needs. available, analysis shows that sanitation programmes launched progress towards the MDGs in after SACOSAN 1 are focused on One of the main reasons for this urban areas is slower than in rural rural areas only. Many larger crisis is the indifference by the areas. urban centres have access to urban middle classes who cocoon infrastructure projects funded by themselves from the effects of donors.

We have been encouraging governments to formulate sanitation policies for urban areas. WaterAid has recently conducted research on the effectiveness of WaterAid/ Jim Holmes Asian Development Bank projects in serving the poorest independent sanitation provision. There is also a lack of data on with sanitation sanitation in urban areas and this is compounded by confusion over (WaterAid, 2006). what sanitation actually means in an urban context and by a lack of an At the same time accepted definition.

Where financing is available disbursements are slow and the absorption of funds is low. Sector financing calculations for Nepal estimate that only 8% of sector expenditure goes to sanitation. This is happening despite the fact that sanitation coverage lags behind that of water (25% versus 71%) and there is an annual financing gap of US$6million for household sanitation alone if the Millennium Development Target for sanitation is to be met (WaterAid Nepal, 2004). In India it is calculated that there is a shortfall of $6.4 billion in financing needed to be bridged between 2002 and 2015 to reach the MDG sanitation target in rural areas. However allocations and annual increases continue to be skewed towards rural water supply where WaterAid/ Anita Pradhan coverage is relatively higher (WaterAid India, 2005). 8 WaterAid has been calculating the financing gaps WaterAid/ Abir Abdullah in meeting sanitation targets in Ultimately this stems from the low on sanitation are often not known. all the countries priority given by governments to Furthermore, financial transfers where we work.

This means most the local government annual financing. funding for sanitation is lumped development programme to with that for water and most is sanitation is a positive example of spent on water supply projects. how this can be addressed by Actual allocations and expenditure governments. Governments need to publish estimates of financing required to meet national sanitation targets, current expenditure and available resources. On the basis of these estimates, increased priority needs to be given to sanitation in national budgets. Governments must review the financing flows of national sanitation programmes and make these as effective as possible to ensure full utilisation of allocated resources. The recent statements on sanitation in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Dhaka Declaration, 2005, show that this forum is beginning to recognise the sanitation crisis. Governments need to explore the possibility of the using the SAARC Development Fund for forwarding the SACOSAN agenda at the regional level. 9 WaterAid and Monitoring of sanitation is still partners are raising these concerns with limited to counting latrines governments and undertaking research in A fter SACOSAN 1 many only.

Governments need to adopt minimum standards in declaring areas as totally sanitised. These must include: < No open defecation. < Hygienic latrines available to and used by all. < Proper maintenance of latrines for continual use. < Improved hygienic practice. < Proper management of solid waste, household wastewater and storm water. Governments need to ensure that their national sanitation programmes include all the components required to achieve totally sanitised communities according to this definition. Monitoring and declaration of totally sanitised communities should be done by joint government, community and NGO teams. Governments need then to publish regular annual updates on sanitation coverage using both hardware (ie latrine construction) and software (ie latrine use and hand washing) indicators. In these reports all data should be disaggregated on the basis of gender and poverty so it is clear who is benefiting from improvements. Coupled with publishing of financial information recommended above, this will provide a picture of the status of the sanitation sector and a basis for realistic delivery plans. WE CALL ON THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE REGION TO EXPRESS THEIR COMMITMENT TO TACKLING THESE KEY ISSUES IN THE ISLAMABAD 10 DECLARATION AND BY IMMEDIATE ACTION. WaterAid and W aterAid and its partner organisations are committed to work with all stakeholders and make their contribution to improving sanitation in the region for the poorest and most partners vulnerable.

Unlicensed midwife charged in death of Moab newborn
MOAB — A lay midwife accused of attempting to help a woman with a high-risk pregnancy deliver her baby at her house, resulting in the newborn dying and the mother nearly bleeding to death, was charged Tuesday with negligent homicide.
Valerie ElHalta, 71, was charged in Grand County's 7th District Court with unlawful conduct, a third-degree felony; and negligent homicide and reckless endangerment, both class A misdemeanors.
In August 2012, ElHalta, of Eagle Mountain, attempted to assist a 31-year-old woman in delivering a baby at her Moab home.
The pregnant woman had previously had three cesarean section deliveries, making an attempted birth at home high-risk, according to charging documents.
In addition, prosecutors say ElHalta administered prescription drugs to the mother during the birth, even though she was unlicensed at the time and her midwife certification was revoked years earlier by the North American Registry of Midwives Board.
"The attempt by (ElHalta), who lacked proper training, qualification or licensure, to perform a high-risk delivery at home, unlawfully administer prescription drugs to the mother, use a vacuum to deliver the mother's newborn, apply sutures to the mother and send the mother to the hospital without accompanying her or sending medical records so that emergency medical providers would have accurate information about the prior course of treatment of the mother, recklessly created a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury to the mother," charging documents state.
When contacted at her home Wednesday by KSL NewsRadio, ElHalta said she was unaware of the charges.
"I'm totally in shock," she said. "I didn't hurt the baby. I just delivered it."
ElHalta arrived at the Moab residence on Aug. 17, 2012, to help with the birth. Prosecutors believe she gave the mother Cytotec, which she was not licensed to administer and a drug that has risks with pregnant women.
By the evening of Aug. 18, the pregnant woman and her husband noticed that ElHalta's mood had changed and she seemed to be more anxious, according to court documents. ElHalta performed a vaginal exam that caused the mother "substantial pain" and told her that she was "breaking scar tissue" and "just moving things along," the charges state.
After nearly an hour of pushing, ElHalta could no longer detect any fetal heart tones.
"The defendant panicked and grabbed a medical device referred to as a 'vacuum,'" which ElHalta was not licensed to use, according to charging documents. She said on Wednesday, however, she was trained to use the vacuum by the person who invented it.
When she pulled the infant out, the newborn was blue and not breathing. ElHalta called 911 and told the parents to "pray to whatever God they believed in," court records state.
The newborn was taken first to Moab Regional Hospital and then flown to Primary Children's Medical Center. The infant died Aug. 25 from lack of oxygen to the brain.
"The high-risk delivery should not have been attempted at home," the charges state.
After the infant was taken to Moab Regional, the mother complained of feeling very hot. She soon began bleeding very heavily, according to court records. ElHalta again administered prescription medication and attempted to suture the mother, though she was not certified to do either, according to prosecutors.
When the mother was taken to the hospital, ElHalta did not accompany her, and doctors did not know what drugs she had been given and had no information on the recent delivery, according to the charges.

If this is what we get in singleplayer from explosions, then... im speechless, and happy!
And sry for killing someone im very clumsy sometimes with these complicated avocados.... if you know what i mean ^^
"They died for you." is from a Sodom's music "Marines". :D Keep up :)
Nice, but i think its more because i asked if the game will feature gore and blood on the npc/ai.
The devs then were so ******* epic great and awesome as always and therefore put many effort into this pose just to answer my question. #1 reason this has to be on place 1 of the moty, cause if it doesnt get, ill go monkey nuts (not really, but ill be very sad.
Lol It already does have blood and gore
I hope I can blow the legs off a little asian man in game. And Unknown3000 If you don't go monkey nuts, I will go Ape crap all over the peeps running moddb by flinging poop until this mod is on that MOTY or Hall Of Fame!
Hats off for doing this. I know only too well how much work this would be to implement, especially as each model would need a blown off leg / arm. So a standard US soldier could need as many as 3 additional models. Its one reason I could never add such a feature.
He said he would have problems getting even a esrb mature rating from the gore, so i do think that they have like 10 different models, cause i also guess there will be all arms, then in 2 halves (both parts, legs from arms and half body making 6 already, and then the head gore), and yeah it is a whole fin lot of scripting and modelling from what i know
so does this mean there is going to be that much gore? haha or will there only be a little bit?
Heer_Sturmfuhrer, thank you. :)
Unknown3000, please don't jump to conclusions. Gore isn't simply chopping a soldier to bits.
You happy now?

Hello, There is a ton of great information on the forums. I come asking for more My wife and I are planning a 4-5 day trip to Belize in April. We had been once before, many years ago, as a brief stop on a cruise - really enjoyed it and now looking for a longer stay.
My tentative plan is to stay somewhere on the Cayes (or possibly Placencia or Hopkins - would take any feedback on those) for the first 2-3 nights and do the "relaxing" part of our trip there. Then, to move inland to the Cayo District and stay another 2-3 nights there, where we'll do more active things and sight-seeing.
My specific questions for people who travel there often or have the knowledge they are willing to share...
Is this a realistic itinerary, splitting the short time we are there like this?
What are the "can't-miss" things in the Cayo District/area?
Specific lodging recommendations? We'd be looking for somewhere on the nicer/more luxurious end of the spectrum.
For the 'beach' portion of our trip, what are the general thoughts on Southern areas, like Placencia and Hopkins, vs. some of the Cayes?
Any other great knowledge you veterans can share!
Thank you for your consideration of providing your feedback and experiences!

I'll give your questions a crack...
Is this a realistic itinerary, splitting the short time we are there like this?
:: If there's any way you could extend by even a day or 2, you'd be glad for the extra time. That said, yes, you could split, but I think I'd stick to Cayo District and either Ambergris or Caulker to keep your travel time and costs to a minimum.
What are the "can't-miss" things in the Cayo District/area?
For me mainly a caving trip and 1 or more Maya sites. Tikal in Guatemala is awesome and possible as a day trip, although at least a night is highly recommended. There are some nice sites near San Ignacio and Caracol, a long day trip from San Ignacio.
Here's the popular ATM cave trip:
And another, less-visited amazing cave option in Cayo: http://www.actunchapatadventure.blogspot.com/
Specific lodging recommendations? We'd be looking for somewhere on the nicer/more luxurious end of the spectrum.
:: I'll let other people do this 1; we prefer great value, midrange options.
For the 'beach' portion of our trip, what are the general thoughts on Southern areas, like Placencia and Hopkins, vs. some of the Cayes?
:: If snorkeling or diving are priorities, I'd pick a northern caye to be closer to the reef and to avoid the extra travel time. We enjoyed a week in Placencia in August 2012 but likely won't return. We love Hopkins but it's a bit more challenging to get to; for both the snorkeling is way out there as opposed to minutes away.
If you decide to pick 1 spot instead of splitting, Hopkins might be a good choice. You could do day trips for Maya sites and caving and there are great waterfall/hiking options in the area. We enjoy walking the beach and swimming there and the Garifuna drumming at the Lebeha center is a treat. Here's an example of our sort of place:

We loved Chaa Creek and Victoria House. Those were a nice combo for us. The snorkeling at Hol Chan was fantastic.

Your trip is too short to visit two areas, unless the purpose of your trip is just to get a glimpse of both. I would instead pick one. If you want to snorkel, Placencia or Hopkins will be fine and you can take day trips to the mainland. You can relax in both areas. Just figure out what trips you want and then decide if mainland or beach if where you should base

pick a spot that covers most interests and stay put, do a couple of day trips for the other stuff.

Thank you for the feedback. It has been useful in getting our planning started and helped us to narrow/refine our focus. A follow up question to those that have traveled to Belize - any specific feedback on Robert's Grove (Placencia) or Victoria House (Ambregris Caye)?
We are not divers but are planning to do a half-day snorkel trip and a full day inland trip (yet to be determined). We are considering these two resorts and would be interested to know any first-hand accounts - accomodations, location/accessibility, food etc. Thank you! -

Victoria House is fantastic. When we landed at the airport they asked where we were staying and when we said VH, they said, "You're staying at one of the best places on the island. You'll love it!" The beach there is beautiful, with white soft sand; food was good too - we ate at both the bar and the more upscale restaurant. We did our snorkel trips with them; there's a little hut out front where you can book them. Like I said above, snorkeling at Hol Chan was some of the best snorkeling we've ever done. We saw a lot of big rays, turtles, nurse sharks, and smaller colorful tropical fish. I loved that our tour was guided because the guide kept pointing out turtles and things we would have missed.
Report Abuse
Victoria House is a very nice high-end option.
Our go-to has been Banyan Bay, which is very good and much closer to town than Victoria House.
Ambergris Caye is usually excellent on a bad day. -

I forgot to mention one thing about VH, even though we loved it there, they forgot to pick us up at the airport. We were waiting around for quite a while and eventually this random guy in a van picked up our luggage and tossed it in his van and told us he was a taxi service and that we should get in. It was kind of crazy - didn't know if we were being lured off to some horrible tourist demise, but it all worked out great and VH even reimbursed him the fare so we weren't charged.

Jurors agree on one count of receiving illegal campaign contributions; no verdict on other five.
Jurors in the John Edwards trial found the 2008 presidential candidate not guilty of one of six counts against him, but the judge declared a mistrial over the other charges.
After nine days of deliberations, the unanimous verdict of not guilty was reached on count three, in which Edwards was charged with receiving contributions from donor Bunny Mellon in excess of federal campaign contribution limits, according to CNN.

The judge declared a mistrial on the remaining counts after the jury said it was deadlocked, The Associated Press reported.
The ex-senator was charged last June with violating campaign-finance laws during his 2008 presidential campaign by accepting the more than $900,000 from two donors to conceal his mistress, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Defense attorneys have said Edwards did not knowingly break campaign finance laws. They also claimed the payments to hide his mistress Rielle Hunter were gifts, not campaign contributions.
If found guilty of all six counts, Edwards faces up to 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine. Each individual count carries a maximum sentence of five years and up to $250,000, MSNBC reported.
