In the wake of the Dee Gordon deal with the Dodgers, many were scratching their heads and having confused reactions to the Marlins dealing Andrew Heaney. As mentioned in other articles, fans tend to overvalue their own prospects. That said, is it possible that the Marlins were cashing out an asset at the peak of its value? The signs would indicate 'yes'. According to Barry … [Read more...]
Miami Marlins Take Best of Bad Situation in Signing Placido Polanco – Fish Stripes
So what can we expect out of Polanco in 2013? Any discussion regarding Polanco typically begins with his glove, which remains stellar. Over the last three seasons, he has posted an average Ultimate Zone Rating (UZR) of 12.6 runs above average per full season of play. Polanco passed the eye test as well, at least when it came to the Fans Scouting Report. He was rated ninth among … [Read more...]
Trade for Marlins, Tigers makes sense | MLB.com: News
The Marlins know a little bit about expectations. With an abnormally aggressive offseason, they created them for themselves. Now, in shipping off what could be the first of several established players and bringing back a prospect package, Miami is embracing the grim reality of a 2012 gone awry and firmly looking forward. If nothing else, you have to appreciate the … [Read more...]
Marlins Make it Four Straight in Nail Biter in San Diego
It has literally been by the skin of their teeth that the Marlins are on a 4 game winning streak and sometimes, that's the way the game works. Previously they couldn't find a win, let alone a hole to shoot a ball through for a hit. Their 6 game losing streak was snapped with some heroics back in Miami and now it seems they are unstoppable away from the new digs and the Longball … [Read more...]
Omar Infante's Slide Saves Fish
Should you take the blue pill or the red pill? Omar Infante obviously was channeling Neo from the Matrix as he slid into home last night during the 11th inning. His acrobatic move gave the Marlins the go ahead run. It was also the 7th win in a row for the Marlins over the Nats in Washington. The Fish were looking for vengeance, dropping two of three against the Nats while on … [Read more...]

Homepage / Programme / May / Opening of Tallinn Airport Library
A special area by Gate 1 at Tallinn Airport is set to become home to a travellers' library. Its grand opening will take place at 1.00 pm on 9 May.
Between the pages of each book will be a bookmark and stamp asking readers to pen a dedication or good wish to the next person reading it, or simply to note down where the book is going or where it has already been.
Many of those who have donated books have already inscribed their wishes. The library will have books in ten different languages, the majority being in Estonian, Russian and English. There will also be a selection of children's books. Estonian president Toomas Hendrik Ilves and Mrs. Evelin Ilves have donated some of their own books to the collection.
Additional information: Raul Ratasep, firstname.lastname@example.com
We are committed to making this website accessible to as many people as possible.

Student submissions: Although the majority of our articles are written by participants in our yearly symposia and lecture events, one of the goals of the Journal is to promote and publish student scholarship. We accept submissions on a rolling basis, and our Notes and Comments Committee reviews submissions three times yearly.
Non-student submissions: We accept non-UST and non-student submissions on a rolling basis. Please see the unsolicited submissions guidelines below for more information on the submissions process.
First, ensure that your article meets the Journal's writing guidelines as outlined in the Notes and Comments Checklist and Submission Evaluation Rubric.
Student submissions are reviewed anonymously by the Notes and Comments Committee. To be considered for publication, remove your name, exam ID number, and any other identifying information from your article. Email your article to Bethany Fletcher at firstname.lastname@example.com.
For students interested in learning more about publishing with the UST Law Journal, the particulars of UST's upper-level writing requirement, or about how to write a publishable law review article generally, we have made the following documents available for download:
Notes and Comments Committee Publication Guide A document that explains the process by which the Journal selects student pieces for publication and what the Journal looks for in publishable submissions.
Understanding the Upper Level Writing Requirement: A document that explains UST's current policies regarding the upper-level writing requirement and contains advice about how to approach it.
Choosing a Research Paper Topic and Considerations for Publication: A document put together by Debby Hackerson, one of our esteemed research librarians, that contains a wealth of information regarding academic legal writing. Topics covered include topic selection, preemption checking, and avoiding plagiarism.
Although it is primarily a symposium-based journal, the University of St. Thomas Law Journal occasionally publishes articles submitted by independent authors from outside the Journal staff and the UST School of Law student body. In making a decision whether or not to publish a piece, the submissions committee weighs the quality of the writing, the novelty of the topic or the unique treatment of an established subject, and the timeliness of the subject matter analysis—whether based on a current event or consistent with a current Law Journal symposium or lecture event. Decisions to publish are also dependent on openings in the Law Journal's publication schedule.
The Law Journal accepts submissions during the academic year between August 1 and March 31. The submissions committee meets monthly to review submissions received during the previous month. Because of this schedule, it is not possible to rush review of a submission. Authors can expect the submissions committee to decide whether to publish within 6 to 8 weeks after their article is submitted.
Authors submitting an article must either be pursuing or in possession of a juris doctor. The University of St. Thomas Law Journal submission committee guidelines are for authors not affiliated with the school. UST School of Law students should publish their article through the Notes and Comments process described above.
Articles must meet the following requirements in order to be considered for publication:
Articles that meet these requirements should be sent in PDF or Word format to email@example.com. Upon receipt of your article, the Law Journal submissions editor will acknowledge that your article is pending review.
For general questions, contact Rachel Arneson, Notes and Comments Editor, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I like a good advice column as much as the next person, mostly because I like to get a glimpse into the lives of other people. What better way to do that than by reading about their problems? Sometimes the questions are tough and I don't envy the job of the columnist who has decided to take it on. Other times, well, the advice is so bad that I can't believe someone got paid to give it.
A recent question submitted to Dear Prudence received the latter treatment.
The question went something like this from someone calling herself Irrelevant Closet: A woman is happily married to a man. However, through a lot self-reflection she has come to the realization that she is bisexual. She plans to stay monogamous with her husband, and he is supportive of her. But they are having a disagreement. She wants to come out as bisexual to her family. He doesn't think she should. Her question indicates that her husband thinks her bisexuality is "irrelevant" because she's in a heterosexual marriage. Emily Yoffe, Slate's advice guru, agrees with the husband.
Let's say you discovered a late breaking interest in plushophilia, or you now realized you were turned on by being a dominatrix. This would not be news you'd be required to announce at the next Thanksgiving gathering. The rapidity with which society has accepted, even embraced, gay sexual orientation is a glorious phenomenon. But you are confusing your personal sexual exploration with a social imperative. It would be one thing if you left your marriage because you were pursuing relationships with women. That would be worth talking about — if you wanted to — as a way of explaining the dissolution of your marriage. But you say you are planning to not only stay with your husband but remain monogamous. I agree with your husband that making a public announcement about something so private will not be illuminating but discomfiting.
Well let's not make the relatives uncomfortable by being open and honest about who you are. How uncouth.
Her answer was only a paragraph, but there are a lot of misconceptions that need to be cleared up. First is the comparison of bisexuality to a sexual fetish. While the lines can be blurry at the margins, generally a fetish and a sexual orientation are two distinct things. A fetish refers to a thing that someone finds sexually arousing. A sexual orientation has more to do with how we interact sexually with others.
So the comparison right off the bat is inappropriate and really sets the tone for how the rest of the answer is going to flow.
Yoffe's answer to this woman's question is universally belittling, from her description of it as "your personal sexual exploration" to the opinion that it might — might — be worth discussing if her marriage was falling apart from it. Implicit in this answer is that since she's in a heterosexual marriage, she's basically straight, right? Just hide the part of you that finds women attractive. It is irrelevant to who you are.
It should go without saying that the person with whom you are currently in a relationship doesn't get to define who you are. If you are bisexual, you are bisexual. If you are using common definitions, you do not suddenly become heterosexual if you date someone of a different gender and you do not suddenly become gay if you date someone of the same gender. Sexuality, as a general matter, doesn't work like that.
This is something people seem to have a hard time understanding. Back in July, actress Anna Paquin did an interview with Larry King. Paquin is bisexual, but she's also married to a man. King did not get it at all.
King: "Are you a non-practicing bisexual?"
Paquin: "Well, I am married to my husband and we are happily monogamously married."
King: "But you were bisexual?"
Paquin: "Well, I don't think it's a past-tense thing."
Larry King: "No?"
Paquin: "No. Are you still straight if you are with somebody — if you were to break up with them or if they were to die, it doesn't prevent your sexuality from existing. It doesn't really work like that."
Bisexual people are the victims of a lot of myths, from assumptions that they are just confused or doing it for attention to suspicions that they can't be monogamous. Telling a woman to hide who she is for the comfort of others isn't helping. Being bisexual, like being gay or straight or a person of color, informs who you are and how you interact with the world. If your bisexuality is something you don't want to hide, no one should ask you to unless they have a pretty dang good reason. Worrying about confusing your relatives isn't a very good reason.
Yoffe mentions that just because the question-asker is bisexual, that doesn't create a "social imperative" to tell people about it. Does Irrelevant Closet have to tell anyone? Of course not. She should do what feels comfortable and what she thinks is safe. Oddly enough, Yoffe is helping create a social imperative to keeping quiet when others don't see the point in bringing it up.
So, Irrelevant Closet, if you're out there, don't listen to Emily Yoffe on this. Follow your heart.

GRRRR!! I HATE that!!
I always knew I was bi; I just didn't know what to call it when I was younger.
I guess people just don't get it. :-(
If you want to announce it as the reason you are ending a relationship, that's one thing but until it impacts the family it's no-damned-body's business but those you sleep with.
It is sad that so many people find it so difficult to open their minds to what it might be like for people who experience life differently than they. How nice it must be to be one of those people who exist with the majority and don't feel a need to understand any other point of view or experience.
I agree with Richard S
Try this one last time.
Just because someone who is Bisexual, chooses to remain in a monogamous heterosexual relationship, doesn't mean they don't still have bisexual feelings or thoughts. Many straight people don't stop to realize how many times in a day a person is confronted with negative comments about sexuality. Even if she is in a straight relationship she would become wary of hearing such negativity. By letting people know that she is Bisexual, not only is she making a point of letting people know that they might not have an accurate idea of what bisexual people like, but she is also making sure that they know she is Bisexual, and therefore less likely to have these people make negative comments in her presence. This is also the same reason that gay people feel the need to come out. I am gay but I am not in a relationship and have not been for a long long time, but that doesn't mean that I am not going to feel a need to let people know that I am gay. After coming out, I encounter far fewer negative comments from people. Most bigots prefer to make their hateful comments when they believe they are speaking to people other than those they speak of.
WOW the author is an idiot! Unless there is some kind of major change of life event (such as a divorce because she's decided to be with another woman exclusively) then her sexual orientation is nobody's business but her own.
Definitely don't agree with Yoffe, being in a heterosexual/homosexual marriage if you're bisexual doesn't make you any less bi. Thanks for this article.

Prince Charming must be taking the scenic route..lol
I'm a passionate Latina who puts my all into everything I care about...be that family, friends, or my career. I'm down-to-earth, loyal, and love to laugh and have a good time. My sometimes "girly" exterior tends to fool people. Though I do like to get dolled up, I also love being spontaneous and doing activities that get my adrenaline going, be that ATVing, zip lining, swimming with the sharks, or sky diving (though I'm still waiting for someone to join me on that last one). At the same time, a night in with a movie and wine (or hot cocoa) can be equally as enjoyable with good company. I'd like to find someone who shares some of my interests, but who can get me interested in theirs as well. Someone who's motivated, has family values, is honest, can appreciate and value a good woman, and who knows how to have a good time and make me laugh is a must. Of course, there are other things about me and what I'm looking for that I could share, but if you like what you've read so far, send me a message and we can possibly go from there.

May 7, 2014I was browsing the App store and noticed this game, I played the original and loved it so decided "why not try the sequel?" and I'm happy to say it far exceeded my expectations. The controls work surprisingly well for an iOS game, it's incredibly fun, and definitely worth 99c. If you haven't yet, I definitely recommend buying this amazing title!
Feb 10, 2014I can guarantee you that once you've played through Icycle: On Thin Ice, you'll be jumping at the opportunity to share your experience with friends. It's a must-play video game that's worth every single one of its 99 cents. [Issue 1, February 2014]

The Chicago Bears have played the market like a tune, and the music is the sound of money being saved. According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, the Bears have masterfully worked free agency, grabbing two starters and a nickel back for a total salary cap hit of $2.5 million. Briggs writes: 'Contract details for linebacker James Anderson, cornerback Kelvin Hayden and right tackle Jonathan Scott confirm that all three players were signed to one-year contracts. Anderson, who projects to be the starting strong-side linebacker, received a $200,000 signing bonus as part of his $1.25 million deal. Hayden and Scott both were signed to minimum-salary benefit deals so they count less vs. the salary cap.' var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

At JAC Traffic Products, we have always emphasized the importance of customer service. We try to assist our customers any way possible and always try to answer any support tickets as quickly as possible.
True Story
I was thinking about all the customers who use Hot Flash Hits who have never spent a penny at the site. They are free members and they are happy using the site as a free member. This made me think of 3 customers I had when I was an 18 year old waitress working at a pizza place. True Story Time: There were 3 customers who would come in the pizza place 2 or 3 times a week. Two guys and a gal who ordered nothing but coffee. They would always come in after dinner time and sit in the same booth and order 3 cups of coffee. Normally they would stay, at least, an hour and they continued to drink coffee with the free refills the entire time. Even though they required several visits from the waitress to keep those coffee cups filled, they never left a tip. I mean NEVER. One night I had their table and I was determined I would be the best waitress they had ever had so they would leave a tip. Even though I bombarded them with extra smiles and never let their coffee cups get empty, they still did not leave a tip. These 3 customers never tipped any waitress the entire time I worked at the pizza place.
The Moral To The Story
Looking back now I know it takes all kinds of customers to make a successful business. The 3 customers who continued to order coffee at a pizza restaurant contributed to the bottom line of the business just as Free members who use our traffic exchange contribute to the daily traffic totals. Tips (Sales) are great but you need every single customer to make an active and successful business. At a traffic exchange, free customers spend their time in exchange for traffic to their ads while other members are buyers. Buyers spend their money in exchange for traffic to their ads. Both type of members are essential for a traffic exchange success. Both type members deserve the best customer service.
At JAC Traffic Products, we will continue to emphasize the importance of customer service to all our members. After all, our members ROCK!

Why not use WarCraft 3 models and skins. I believe there fully convertible.
The ultimate battle between good and evil rages on! This is a remake of the Popular Warcraft 3 Map, War of the Ring IV by AzuranZara.
0 comments by Shadowz123 on Jul 17th, 2011
Us here at Refraction are focusing on this map constantly, fixing little errors there are to get a good, working map out to the Starcraft 2 Community.
Currently, testing has been good, we have received Positive feedback for the map so far, at the moment there is not any Abilities for the heroes but all units are in place and the main content of the game runs smoothly.
Hopefully, it will be later this Month, maybe mid August when we release our first BETA version.

Why not use WarCraft 3 models and skins. I believe there fully convertible.
It would be great to make Lotr mod and use some Lotrbfme2 models.
Would be great, but blizzard would remove the map for Copyright laws.
Is this a usual map or there are some custom models?
for the time being, its only normal units. but nothing overly unrealistic.
well i like the map but u mis placed the cities and u made the terrain wrong, jus tellin u but dont scream at me jus tell me if ure gonna improve it
The way the Cities are placed are strategically placed to make it even, but look good instead of having good on the left, and evil on the right.
played that map on sc2 did not like it
This map is not released yet on B.Net. There is another one made awhile ago, that one i played also.. It is horrible.. Very bad.
reminds me more of the war of the 8 kingdoms map for starcraft 1 rathar than the war of the ring. the locations are quite off but as long as the game ends up fun i dont think it will really matter all that much after all. perhaps you can change it so everyone starts off alone so that way it turns into a diplo lord of the rings since there are already several war of the ring maps out there right now. LOTR diplo would be fun in my opinion! ;D

The MK Digital Direct Photo-eBox PLUS 1419 with LED and UV is ideal for anyone who needs photographs of small objects produced quickly, easily, and without a degree in photography.
While The Photo eBox Plus looks like a microwave oven it takes up a fraction of the space of a conventional shooting table with lights. The 14.5 x 19.75" shooting platform is perfect for small items like jewelry or crafts as well as objects up to the size of A/V components. An opening in the top and the front allow use of different camera angles. The eBox has 3 light sources. The main source is a battery of fluorescent tubes system that surrounds objects with soft shadowless light with broad, unobtrusive, professional-looking highlights. The second light source is a 1.5' LED strip that is ideal for top lighting or for adding sparkle to gems or similar items. The third source is a UV strip, commonly referred to as "black light." Besides creative use, this is a valuable tool for forensic applications since it's able to reveal details in items submitted as evidence in legal proceedings.

Originally written on Scout.com: Arizona State | Last updated 3/23/13
For a team coming into spring training with little turnover in their pitching staff, Cincinnati has been the topic of a lot of questions recently regarding indecision on plans to convert closer Aroldis Chapman into the rotation. Now it appears that he will resume getting most of his action in the ninth inning and Mike Leake will return to his job at the back end.

Travel Guide Caribbean Turks and Caicos Islands
© All Rights Reserved vegasmike6
The Turks and Caicos Islands look like the last in the lengthy line of Bahaman islands stretching away from Florida, but they are in fact an independent archipelago. For tourists, they offer beaches and diving, diving and beaches. Sure, there is a lack of variety in the attractions, but the relaxing powers of the Caribbean sun are able to put even the tensest heart at ease. For a quick escape from the water, you may be interested to explore the remnants of the islands' salt industry.
But the diving is world-renowned, so we don't think you will be needing to wander through museums to keep busy. Stunning aquatic scenery is provided in ample amounts over the miles and miles of coral reef. Expect to swim with dolphins. Expect to be awestruck by submerged wreckages. Expect an energizing respite, because you will get it.
Early inhabitants of the islands were Amerindians, including the Arawak people, who were, over the centuries, gradually replaced by the Caribs. The first documented European to sight the islands was Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León, who did so in 1512. During the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, the islands passed from Spanish, to French, to British control, but none of the three powers ever established any settlements. In 1799, both the Turks and the Caicos island groups were annexed by Britain as part of the Bahamas. In 1848, the Turks and Caicos were declared a separate colony under a council president. The last incumbent was maintained in 1873 when the islands were made part of Jamaica colony; in 1894 the chief colonial official was restyled commissioner. In 1917, Canadian Prime Minister Robert Borden suggested that the Turks and Caicos join Canada, but this suggestion was rejected by British Prime Minister David Lloyd George. The islands remained a dependency of Jamaica until 1959. When Jamaica was granted independence from Britain in August 1962, the Turks & Caicos Islands became a crown colony. From 1965, the governor of the Bahamas was also governor of the Turks and Caicos Islands and oversaw affairs for the islands. When the Bahamas gained independence in 1973, the Turks and Caicos received their own governor.
The islands have had their own government headed by a chief minister, the first of whom was James Alexander George Smith McCartney, since August 1976. In 1979, a move towards independence was agreed upon in principle for 1982, but a change in government caused a policy reversal. The islands' political troubles in recent years have resulted in a rewritten constitution promulgated in 2006 and a reintroduction of direct UK Government rule in 2009, which ended in 2012 with local elections.
The two island groups are in the North Atlantic Ocean, southeast of the Bahamas, north of Hispaniola, and about 1,000 kilometres from Miami in the United States, at 21°45′N 71°35′W / 21.75°N 71.583°W / 21.75; -71.583. The territory is geographically contiguous to the Bahamas, both comprising the Lucayan Archipelago, but is politically a separate entity. The Caicos Islands are separated by the Caicos Passage from the closest Bahamian islands, Mayaguana and Great Inagua. The two distinct island groups are separated by the Turks Passage. The eight main islands and more than 299 smaller islands have a total land area of 616.3 square kilometres, primarily of low, flat limestone with extensive marshes and mangrove swamps and 332 square kilometres of beach front. The islands have limited natural fresh water resources; private cisterns collect rainwater for drinking. The primary natural resources are spiny lobster, conch and other shellfish.
Two island groups make up the Turks and Caicos Islands, separated by the Turks Passage.
Grace Bay Beach has been voted one of the best and most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean and the world. The beach is located on the northern coast of Providenciales and stretches about 14 kilometres where you will find white sandy beaches which are absolutely stunning. Snorkeling at Grace Bay is fabulous because of its crystal-clear waters and beautiful reef. The sunsets are one of a kind as well and although it is by far the most popular beach on the Turks and Caicos Islands, it's at least less developed than for example many of the Bahamas islands.
Chalk Sound National Park is a fantastic and hauntingly beautiful part of the Turks and Caicos Islands. This is the place to come if turquoise is your favorite colour. Because this is the exact colour of the waters of this 5 kilometres wide lagoon, which holds a vast number of green and lush islands and and mushroom-like tiny islets. A peninsula with some fantastic beaches only adds to the beauty. A bit of culture is even available at Sapodilla Bay Hill Rock Carvings where you can find carvings on rocks that name shipwrecked sailors dating back to 1844.
Turtle Cove is located along a harbor with the same name. It is a very nice grill bar where you can have pleasure the whole night eating, drinking, dansing and, if you like it, do some karaoke. There is a live reggae band every Friday night and for a night out is is probably one of the better places on the islands.
Turks & Caicos National Museum is located in Cockburn Town, Grand Turk and houses the restored Guinep House. This historic building is constructed of salvaged ships' timbers and displays items like shell tools, stamps, locks, and greenstone cells. Several other rooms have displays about the island's salt industry and life on the coral reef. And then the upper rooms have an underwater display in 3D, a natural history gallery about local wildlife, and a room where you can find many photos and artefacts about the pre-Columbian Taino culture.
The Turks and Caicos Islands have a very pleasant and tropical climate with generally warm and humid weather. The seabreeze makes things relatively mild though and water is never far away. Temperatures generally average around 30 °C during the day yearround and 23 °C at night. December to May is the dry season, where July to October is the rainy season, but this generally means some showers at the end of the day instead of days of rain on end. Hurricanes are possible though from August to October.
interCaribbean is the main airline of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Main destinations include Kingston, Nassau, Puerto Plata and Santiago de los Caballeros and. Its base is at Providenciales International Airport (PLS). From there British Airways has flights to and from London and Nassau as well, while other destinations include Toronto, Halifax, Ottawa and Montreal, and several cities in the United States (Charlotte, Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Newark, Atlanta, Miami and Dallas).
JAGS McCartney International Airport (GDT) is on Grand Turk, but currently only has domestic flights.
Grand Turk is a popular cruise destination. Carnival Cruises operates up to 3 cruises a day to the Grand Turk Cruise Center.
Despite its location relatively close to other islands chains like the Bahamas, there are no international ferry routes to and from the Turks and Caicos Islands.
There is no public transportation anywhere on the islands, with the exception of a hop-on/hop-off style bus for cruise visitors on Grand Turk.
On Providenciales and the other islands, it's recommended that you rent a car, as taxis can be somewhat expensive.
interCaribbean have many domestic flights as well between Grand Turk, Salt Cay and Middle and North Caicos. Caicos Express Airways is a newer local airline with domestic services as well.
Rental cars are available from several local companies , mainly on Grand Turk and Providenciales, less so on North and South Caicos. Many roads are not sealed. Driving is on the left and you will need a local temporary driving permit as well. You need to pay mandatory insurance and government tax as well.
There are no public buses on any of the islands and therefore taxis are the way to go if you don't have your own set of wheels. And the good thing is that taxis are available on all the inhabited islands and most taxi drivers double as guides as well, making daytrips with several people an economical way of getting around and seeing something.
There are several options regarding domestic ferry services in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The Dale Marie is a weekend ferry between Bottle Creek in North Caicos and Middle Caicos. It runs Saturdays from about 8:00am through early afternoon. It is a 30-minute ride and carries 1-2 vehicles. Friday evenings and Sundays crossings are by appointment only.
The Buccaneer is a ferry between Grand Turk and Salt Cay. It is passenger only and it takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Travelling is one Wednesdays and Fridays only and it departs Salt Cay at 7:00am and Grand Turk at 2:30pm.
TCI Ferry Service is a ferry service between Walkin Marina Leeward on Providenciales and Sandy Point Marina on North Caicos. with 4 departures each day in both directions. There are 5 daily departures in both directions from Monday to Saturday and 3 on Sundays and holidays. It's US$25 for a single trip and US$40 for a same day return ticket. Check current timetables online.
Visa requirements are roughly the same as for the United Kingdom, Schengen Visa not applying.
See also Money Matters
The US Dollar, or "greenback", is the national currency of Turks and Caicos Islands. One dollar consists of 100 cents. Frequently used coins are the penny (1¢), nickel (5¢), dime (10¢) and quarter (25¢). 50¢ and $1 coins also exist, but are rarely used. Frequently used banknotes are the $1, $5, $10, $20 and $50 notes. You may have some difficulties with the $100 note at smaller shops, and $2 are never used.
South Caicos is home to a campus of the School for Field Studies (SFS), which offers a semester study abroad programme in the islands.
The official language is English. Local minorities from Haiti speak Haitian Creole (a French based language), and Spanish is also spoken by immigrants from the Dominican Republic. However, these are not languages most tourists would come into contact with.

There are no vaccinations legally required to travel to the Turks and Caicos Islands. It's a good thing to get your vaccinations in order before travelling to the Turks and Caicos Islands. The general vaccination against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio (DTP) is recommended. Also a hepatitis A vaccination is recommended and vaccination against hepatitis B and typhoid are also sometimes recommended for stays longer than 3 months.
Dengue sometimes occurs as well. There is no vaccination, so buy mosquito repellent (preferably with 50% DEET), and sleep under a net. Also wear long sleeves if possible.
Finally, other possible health issues include diarrhea and other general travellers' diseases like motion sickness. Watch what you eat and drink and in case you get it, drink plenty of fluids (to prevent dehydration) and bring ORS.
See also Travel Safety
Turks and Caicos have one of the lowest crime rates and highest crime-solved rates in the Caribbean. Any problems that occur should be reported to the Royal Turks and Caicos Police immediately. While the islands are extremely safe, make sure to exercise common sense. Don't leave valuables in plain view, and always lock your car when leaving it, and lock your dwelling (hotel) when you are not in it. By taking simple precautions it will prevent the loss of cash, jewellery and identification. Thieves target mopeds and motorcycles, so be sure that you lock yours up properly. Also, be aware that Islanders can be very aggressive drivers, so it is best to use caution when crossing or driving on the roads.
There are three local mobile phone operators in the islands: LIME (formerly Cable & Wireless), Digicel, and IslandCom. IslandCom offers CDMA networks (which supports for example Verizon).

Obsessively Instagramming photos of your meals might be a sign of a problem much bigger than making your followers hungry. The Mental Health chair of the Canadian Obesity Network says there is a link between posting these photos online and a new epidemic of eating disorders.
"You don't take pictures of who you're with, you take pictures of what you're eating," said Dr. Valerie Taylor, the chief psychiatrist at the Women's College Hospital in Toronto, adding that signs of such disorders might be when a person's Instagram feed makes a switch from pictures of people and friends, to pictures of food.
"For some people who have the predisposition for weight behaviors, it just goes that one step further, and they start to develop unhealthy weight disorders and they start to have weight problems," she continued.
Taylor also says that food has taken on a large psychological role, which is the biggest cause for obesity.

I totally disagree with this article and the comments of the doctor. I photograph food all the time, when eating out, to share on my Instagram. Additionally, I'm a Paleo food blogger, so I'm photographing food all the time. I think about food even when I go to sleep, since I'm thinking of developing new recipes all the time. However, I have no problem with obesity nor any eating disorder. A lot of my fellow food bloggers and friends are also on Instagram photographing food as well. And none have obesity problems or eating disorders. Obesity is not caused by the amount of food alone, it's caused by the type of food some people eat, such as sugar (refined sugar, fructose, HFCS, etc) and carbohydrate intake and lack of exercise. If one eats right (such as a Paleo or SCD diet), then there's no need for over-eating or being obese. Please get your facts right... before scaring people into a panic. There is plenty of proof on the internet how Paleo/SCD works for people to loose weight, keep it off, and most importantly be healthy physically and mentally.

Blasphemy and apostasy laws were applied in a discriminatory manner in several Middle Eastern and North African countries in 2012, according to a new report by the U.S. State Department.

Report: Sunni-Shiite Divide Deepens
Apr 16, 2013
The Arab uprisings have deepened ethnic and religious tensions between Sunnis and Shiites in the Middle East, according to a new report by The Brookings Institution. The rise of sectarianism is being drive by three main factors: •Sunni Islamist ascendancy in Tunisia and Egypt •The civil war in Syria, renewed conflict in Lebanon, and unrest in Bahrain •Popular perceptions of outside intervention have created a "virtual proxy war" with Iran, Syria and Hezbollah on one side and the United States, Saudi Arabia and Turkey on the other

Ministers from the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United Kingdom also reaffirmed their support for the six Deauville Partnership transition countries ― Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia and Yemen.

Three-quarters of youth in 15 Arab countries think "our best days are ahead of us," according to a new survey by Asada'a and Burson Marsteller.

The Arab Uprisings in Iranian Politics
Apr 09, 2013
Iran hailed the 2011 Arab uprisings as an "Islamic Awakening" and considered the overthrow of U.S.-backed dictators a continuation of its own 1979 revolution. A new report claims that Tehran's goals are to foster political Islam in the Arab world and Arab independence from U.S. influence—both elements of a broader strategic narrative ultimately radiating from Iran.

A simple word but it covers a lot---being mindful of what we eat, do, say, can help us stay positive and on track. Mindful.
Focus on the sensations exploding in your mouth by eating mindfully. Fix a nice place for yourself at the table. Make your food look beautiful. No TV. No computers or video games. No books. Be fully present with each bite. You will feel satisfied as you feed your hunger, not your appetite.
Eating mindfully helps me know what my body likes and when I am full.
Be mindful and plan ahead to eat right. Be mindful and shop with a list of super foods and stick to it. Be aware of everything that goes in your mouth: ""A moment on the lips is forever on your hips". 58

1999 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize
In Coleman's work, racial and gender issues are made more complex by the particular and peculiar geography and iconography of urban Southern California: the all-night diner and the all-night laundromat, O.D.'s Barber Shop, the "Chevy graveyard," a painting of which provokes a pungent lyric of erotic recollection. Cars play vivid roles in her poems, as much a part of the cast of characters as they are of the landscape: "Mustang Sally," "the ebony-tinged calf-skinned back seat/of Kelly's customized black Cadillac coupe," "Mama's maroon '64 Ambassador," "my baby is in the back seat of the old Rambler/station wagon." In "Closing Time," the ritual dawn meeting of woman and car is the occasion for a vivid evocation of the speaker, a drive-in waitress, and her situation:
at Trinity & Santa Barbara
the last clunker on the blacktop is mine
...it's so clear. so desert cold. my thoughts steam up
the plate glass as i slide the grid of bars in place,
maroon lips tighten to my teeth
i'm slim just now. my jeans skirt is short and night bites
thru the nylon to my bones. my knuckles are raw from
washings of countertops, my fists jammed against the
linings of my empty denim pockets scrounging warmth,
clutch bag tucked firm at my armpit
Reading through Bathwater Wine I get the sense of a chorus of Afro-Angeleno Trojan women speaking these poems, with different voices picking up the recitatif: the aforementioned waitress, the woman suffering a half-desired miscarriage in "Sociopolitical Abuse (2)," the cynical older cousin aiding her younger cousin in a misguided manhunt (in cars again) in "delphi's tale," the mother whose delinquent son stole the loaded gun from beneath shoe boxes in her closet in "Unfinished Ghost Story (7)," the pregnant and restless young wife of "Dominoes," the witness to a Central Avenue cops-and-gangstas shootout in "Dream 1225." There's also a woman wryly but deeply appreciative of the sweetness of quotidian eroticism in and out of bed, conjugal love still highly spiced, in an LA garden apartment ("Marriage by Capture"), in yet another car at a drive-in movie ("The Broken Car Window"), in an inner-city laundromat ("mini soap opera"), in a junk/antique shop ("The Ron Narrative Reconstructions").
The lively center of Bathwater Wine is a sequence of sixty "More American Sonnets," irregularly metered, sometimes rhymed fourteen-liners that encapsulate the book's themes, and from which the longer sequences preceding and following seem to radiate. Here Coleman also pays homage to other poets, contemporary and canonical, sometimes wryly, sometimes with the larger-than-life extravagance that characterizes all her work: E. Ethelbert Miller, Amiri Baraka, Allen Ginsberg, Michelle Clinton, Sesshu Foster, receive tips of her (velvet, feathered) hat, as do Blake, Brecht, Elinor Wylie, Vallejo and the too-often overlooked Henri Coulette. While the voice of these sonnets is the poet's rather than that of an invented persona, the range of tone and discourse she employs is operatic, from slangy to matter-of-fact to improvisationally surreal:
"you're a good man, sistuh," a lover sighed solongago.
"keep your oil slick and your motor running.
and sometimes when i feel the first ache of new menses
weeping for my children blues me over.
blueprinted here in the sizzling breath of righteous
black ink, swaggers the sweaty kingfish, sliding
between grooves of crocodile blues, eluding the pungent
crypt reserved for eloquent dabblers in nose candy...
my recalcitrant darling, what do i mean about
you? arms unraveling becoming independent
here comes dat nasty music again
that atmospheric ash
twenty-dollar tips & a whiff of tar-tainted denim
Demotic, idiosyncratic, at once celebratory and embittered, Coleman's poems are not always easy or reassuring reading. But the generosity of their larger-than-life extravagance, their careful tempering of self-mockery, their elastic balance of overstatement and control, make them a continual, renewable reward.
Marilyn Hacker
More American Sonnets #51
in my last incarnation i inoculated myself
with oodles of dago red and stumbled into fame
without falling. i worshipped in the temple of Lady Day
and took Coltrane as my wizard. i always wore my mink coat
to the Laundromat and drank pale champagne with my
soft-boiled eggs. i believed King Kong got a raw deal.
i believed great and prolonged sex cured cancer. i believed
in the afterdeath. i was liberator of cough-and-gaggers
from the cages of their spew. i scavenged rusted auto parts,
built a niggah machine, loaded it with atomic amour and
wiped out all purveyors of poverty...swapped my pink
pearl for a black sapphire. and then one quincentennial
i rose from the magnificent effluvium of my jazz
to discover my children did not know me
